Chapter 125 The Saint's Desire

The gate of Biyou Palace slowly opened, and green lotuses emerged from the void. Master Tongtian walked out of it, carrying a faint sword intent on his body.

He looked calm, as if he had just come out of retreat and was completely unaware of what was happening outside: "Brother Daoist, I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person!"

After knowing what happened six hundred years later, Tongtian Jiaozhu was unwilling to call him "big brother" anymore. As he knew that Taiqing suspected that he had practiced the Supreme Forgetfulness Method, he decided to go with the flow and pretend to be calm to see if he could fool Taiqing.

Watching this scene, Taiqing Laozi couldn't blame Tongtian Jiaozhu, so he could only say: "Daoyou, you are wrong for not discussing the matter of establishing the Heavenly Tribulation with us! Moreover, Daoyou should know the flaws of the Supreme Forgetfulness Method, so why do you force yourself to practice it?"

Upon hearing this, Master Tongtian said in a deep voice: "For those of us who practice Taoism, we value following our heart and forgetting our emotions. If we want to practice, we can practice!"

"The matter of the heavenly tribulation is the business of Taoist Master Yuchen. What does it have to do with me?"

"Besides, Brother Taiqing and Brother Yuanshi, haven't you always looked down on my disciples, saying that they are covered with fur and horns, lay eggs from moisture, and have no moral principles?"

"Could it be..."

"Brother Taiqing, are you still grieving over the death of a rabbit and worrying about my many disciples?"

"According to Brother Yuanshi, the disciples of Brother Taiqing and Brother Yuanshi are all true immortals of morality. Why would they make things difficult for me just because of a mere heavenly tribulation?"

"Heaven created all things to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay Heaven. My incarnation follows Heaven's way and creates disasters for all living things. Since you are a saint, you should be happy to see them succeed. Why are you still thinking of going against Heaven?"

Once upon a time, Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun always talked about the way of heaven and the will of heaven, but they often took advantage of Tongtian Jiaozhu with their words.

Now that the heavenly calamity has already happened and has become a fact that cannot be changed, and nearly a thousand of his disciples have died in half a day, he naturally does not mind and instead mocks Taiqing Laozi.

Listening to Master Tongtian's sarcastic words, Master Taiqing showed a look of surprise on his face and said in a deep voice: "Tongtian, is this your attitude?"

He regarded himself as the elder brother, and although he was not as aggressive as Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu's words still made him feel a little embarrassed.

At the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards Yuanshi Tianzun.

Among his disciples, there is only one, Xuandu, who has already entered the realm of great supernatural powers. The matter of heavenly tribulation has no impact on the human religion.

If Yuanshi Tianzun had not asked him to take action, he would not have lost the incarnation of Taishang Laojun in the heavenly punishment.

Although saints are immortal, exist with heaven and Tao, even if their incarnation dissipates, it can be condensed again as long as some time is spent.

but……

That would also cost a lot of energy!
Saints are not invincible. The realm of Taoist Hongjun is just above them. In their hearts, they all have the ambition to peek into a higher realm.

otherwise……

Why do they bother to establish religions and spread the Dharma, scheme everywhere, gain merit and fortune, and try every possible way to improve their own Taoism and perfect their own Taoism?
This time, although the Jiejiao sect under Master Tongtian suffered heavy losses, his incarnation, Yuchen Daojun, gained great benefits and became a transcendent existence like Pingxin.

Maybe with mutual confirmation, it can also help Master Tongtian to take a further step on the path to becoming a saint and reach the current realm of Daozu!
Therefore, Taiqing Laozi absolutely would not believe that Master Tongtian did not gain any benefit at all.

He came to Jin'ao Island not to blame Master Tongtian, but just wanted to get a little understanding of the way of heaven and the supreme method of forgetting emotions from him!

Unexpectedly...

When Tongtian Jiaozhu came up, he started to mock him and Yuanshi Tianzun in a veiled manner.

However, for his own purpose, Taiqing Laozi still forced himself to suppress his anger and said to Tongtian Jiaozhu: "I am just worried about your situation! After all, the Supreme Forgetting Love method has deviated from its original intention. People who practice will slowly move towards the path of ruthlessness!"

"ruthless?"

Hearing this, Master Tongtian laughed and said, "Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs! For all living things in heaven and earth, we saints are merciless and compassionate! Isn't that good? If saints like us all have a fair heart, whether they are innate sacred beings or those who are covered with fur and horns and laid by eggs, we can treat them all equally. That is in line with the fairness of heaven, and it is a good thing for the prehistoric world!"

He glanced at Taiqing Laozi and continued, "With 70% impartiality, plus enough merits and Hongmeng Purple Qi, one can become a Heavenly Dao Saint! I just don't know...how much impartiality do you still have now, Daoist friend?"

"Tongtian, you..."

Seeing that Master Tongtian was adamant and only wanted to talk about the way of heaven, Taiqing Laozi felt like he was playing the lute to a cow.

But, he was helpless!

because……

Tongtian is right.

All living beings have desires, and saints are no exception, so they can never achieve true inaction, nor can they treat every living being fairly.

He wanted to be on par with the Taoist Ancestor and pursue transcendence.

Yuanshi Tianzun's desire is to replace the heart of Heaven with the human heart, and to replace the will of Heaven with the will of man, and ultimately to reach the point where my heart is the heart of Heaven, and my will is the will of Heaven.

The idea of ​​the two saints in the West is to revitalize the West, let the Western land regain its ancient glory, and let their ideas spread throughout the wilderness and all the heavens and worlds.

As for Nuwa...

In the past, Nuwa, as a saint of the demon cult, was committed to the pursuit of equality among all spirits and harmonious coexistence among all races. But now, after falling into the catastrophe of the Great Luo Lost Myself, Nuwa has become a different person, staying in Taisu Heaven for many years to study the Great Dao of Creation.

Except for going to Huoyun Cave on Fuxi's birthday, his true body never left Taisutian. In order to understand the prehistoric world, he only sent down a divine thought occasionally.

No one knows what is in her mind right now.
Taiqing Laozi frowned slightly, but decided to speak directly: "Daoyou should know that my disciple Xuandu has fallen into this state of 'not being happy with things, not being sad with oneself' and being indifferent to everything because of practicing the Supreme Forgetfulness Method!"

"I didn't come here to blame you, fellow Taoist! Since the heavenly tribulation has been established, it is God's will, and I will not pursue this issue any further!"

"If you have any insights into the Supreme Forgetfulness Method, please feel free to teach me a thing or two!"

"I am so grateful!"

Taiqing Laozi undoubtedly values ​​his only disciple, Xuandu, who will inherit his Taoist tradition and even his identity after he transcends one day. Otherwise, he would not have rather incarnated himself into the List of Gods than signed the other party's name on it.

Master Tongtian was well aware of this and did not continue to dwell on it.

"Give me some advice?"

Hearing this, Master Tongtian was moved and said immediately: "Since fellow Taoist wants me to teach you, then I would also like to ask fellow Taoist to teach me a thing or two!"

After that, he directly summoned the Zhuxian Sword and chuckled, "Empty words are ultimately unconvincing! How about we go to the Chaos and fight each other?"

In his previous life, he found that he had always underestimated Taiqing. The opponent's technique of transforming one qi into three pure ones caused him a lot of trouble in the Zhuxian Formation.

Now that he had the opportunity, he naturally wanted to test Taiqing Laozi's strength and see how much strength the other party had hidden in his daily life.

At the same time, he also wanted to see if he could find the opponent's weakness and a way to crack the One Qi Transformation into Three Purities, so that when the two sides fought in the future, he would not fall into such a passive situation again.

"it is good!"

Taiqing Laozi did not refuse.

He estimated that Master Tongtian's current state was also affected by the Supreme Method of Forgetting Emotions. It would be impossible to communicate with him just by reasoning.

Moreover, he also wanted to see whether there were any differences in Master Tongtian's current Taoism compared to several eras ago.

After saying that, the two of them tore through the void and came to the vast chaotic universe.

The Qingping Sword is now in Han Yi's possession, and Tongtian has no intention of taking it back for the time being, so he uses the Zhuxian Sword to first cut out a sword light that carries the meaning of the end.

"Tao spreads throughout the world!"

This sword light was born at the beginning of the world and split into thousands. In just an instant, it locked onto Taiqing Laozi in the infinite space and time universe.

The sword energy intertwined and broke through the chaotic void, leaping into the long river of time and space. Destruction and creation coexisted, and it slashed straight towards the fundamental avenue of Taiqing Laozi.

"Not bad!"

Taiqing Laozi exclaimed in praise, and the exquisite pagoda of the mysterious and yellow heaven and earth, a treasure of acquired merit, instantly appeared above his head, dropping endless mysterious and yellow aura.

These mysterious yellow energies were extremely heavy, and just a strand of them was enough to collapse a universe. Now that they gathered together, they immediately disrupted time and space, distorted cause and effect, and caused Tongtian Sect Master's sword to miss the target in an instant.

At the same time, the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Panlong Biangua appeared in the hands of Taiqing Laozi. As soon as the Biangua was pointed out, the great truth that Wuji gave birth to Taiji, Taiji gave birth to Liangyi, Liangyi gave birth to Sixiang, and Sixiang gave birth to Bagua was instantly demonstrated in the chaotic void. The magnificent world went straight to suppress Tongtian Jiaozhu.

He could see that Master Tongtian's sword was more perfect than it had been several eons ago, and in the midst of its ultimate destruction, it faintly revealed a sense of good fortune.

Obviously, over the years, Master Tongtian's attainments in swordsmanship have made great progress.

“You dare to show off your insignificant skills in front of me!” Tong Tian Sect Master let out a long roar and used the Immortal Execution Sword to perform the four sword intents of Immortal Execution, Absolute Slaughter, and merged with the innate five-element avenue, transforming into an endless force of the avenue’s end and slashing down, “Come and try this sword of mine! The way is born and the way is destroyed!”

The ultimate sense of destruction erupted in an instant, the long river of time and space surged and roared, one universe after another withered and collapsed in the blink of an eye, and all the destinies of time and space instantly returned to nothingness.

When this sword was slashed out, it seemed as if the heavens were about to sink, the great way was about to wither and decay, and all living beings in the universe were about to be broken and fall into endless calamity.

This sword is called Dao Sheng Dao Mie!
It was the ultimate destruction that Tongtian Sect Master comprehended from his memories of destroying the primitive world and recreating the earth, water, fire and wind in his previous life. It represents the end of the great way.

When this sword was swung out, even Taiqing Laozi did not dare to be careless. At the same time that the exquisite pagoda of Xuanhuang of heaven and earth dropped infinite Xuanhuang aura, the innate treasure Tai Chi diagram burst out with brilliant divine light, evolving the mysteries of the way of heaven and transforming the countless time and space in front of him into the chaos of primordial chaos in a state of nothingness.

"Tai Chi is infinite!"

Faced with the continuous offensive of Master Tongtian, Taiqing Laozi finally took it seriously and took out his proud innate Tai Chi Dao.

But Master Tongtian still felt it was not enough, and he slashed out with another sword that ended the great road.

"The road is over!"

He just didn't believe that this sword couldn't force out Taiqing Laozi's One Qi Transformation into Three Purities.
