Chapter 1426 The Significance of Anchor Points
Why did they fight?
At this point, Si Chong unusually revealed a hint of dissatisfaction: "It's that person's problem. He suddenly contacted me and said he wanted to take me into the Taoist sect."
"what."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Liuxian and Shan Qiuhuo, who were ancient Dao Ancestors, exchanged a glance, their faces revealing an expression of "then it's not surprising."
"Indeed, Dan Qingjian is really infuriating in this regard."
Dan Qiuhu shook his head. Seeing that Lü Yang was somewhat puzzled, he explained, "Dan Qingjian, this guy is the one among us who likes to take on disciples and spread his teachings the most."
"However, there is something wrong with his approach."
What is reading? And what kinds of books are we reading?
"In short, it is Danqing Jian's own book. All his disciples read the books he wrote and the annotations of the various Taoist scriptures he wrote."
At this point, Si Chong spoke again:
“The Great Way is infinitely varied, but that person alone reveres his own Way, claiming to be imparting knowledge and skills, but in reality, he is merely having others imitate him to enhance his own prestige.”
"He's utterly incompetent!"
Lü Yang began to understand.
As the saying goes, "Those who learn from me will live, those who imitate me will die." The so-called transmission of the Dao by the Daoist patriarch is essentially the latter, which is to obliterate human nature.
In contrast, Si Chong revered the former. As the first Dao Lord of Guanghai, he truly had no secrets when he preached Guanghai, and he answered every question. Whether it was Jian Jun, Cang Hao, Wan Fa, Du Xuan, or even the First Saint, they all received his teachings back then.
This is a difference in mindset.
Lü Yang estimated that Si Chong and the Daoist Ancestor of Reading probably got along very well at first, but as they talked, they discovered that they were different from each other.
Unfortunately, neither of them could convince the other.
"In Danqingjian's view, he became the patriarch of the Dao by reading books, which means that he is undoubtedly the highest in this Dao and does not allow others to question him."
Zhu Liuxian shook his head:
"Because he made it through this path."
"Therefore, as long as the younger generation honestly follows his path, they will naturally become Dao Ancestors. If they harbor doubts and act recklessly, they will only go astray."
Si Chong snorted coldly again upon hearing this.
Clearly, I strongly disagree.
However, the Dao Ancestor's resolve was equally firm. Unable to persuade him with words, he had no choice but to resort to force, which led to a fight between the two sides, which even escalated into a real brawl.
On the other side, Lü Yang seemed to be deep in thought.
'Another one.'
In the ancient Divine Continent, there were seventeen Dao Ancestors, and he has now gotten to know nearly half of them. Each Dao Ancestor had a different philosophy, but they were all equally determined to go their own way.
The next second, Zhu Liuxian suddenly turned his gaze to the World Honored One, who was clasped in prayer: "Gui Ming, you have surprised me. Even though you were not awakened by the True Spirit, you seem to have awakened some memories of your past lives. And you have really succeeded in crossing the final tribulation and being reborn into the future era."
"Amitabha."
The World Honored One shook his head: "Fellow Daoist, you have mistaken me for someone else. I am not the one who returns to the mandate of Heaven. I am the World Honored One. As for returning to the mandate of Heaven, that is already a thing of the past."
"Oh?" Zhu Liuxian said in a low voice, "So, you've given up on your path."
"of course not."
The Buddha solemnly said, "Although I am no longer a disciple, I will still follow his path to save the world and perform great deeds, which may help me reach a higher level."
The World-Honored One also had the desire to seek the Way.
As long as this path is passable, he wouldn't refuse it; otherwise, he wouldn't have been jumping back and forth on the "Other Shore" before finally jumping to the underworld.
"However, my method is different from that of destiny."
Seeing the murderous intent gradually appearing in Zhu Liuxian's eyes, the World Honored One quickly shielded Lü Yang in front of him before saying, "I don't need to slaughter everyone."
"I have a wonderful method to save trillions of beings and help them through the final calamity."
After he finished speaking, he took the initiative to show his unity of purpose and the underworld. Upon seeing this, both Zhu Liuxian and Shan Qiuhuo's expressions changed slightly.
Zhu Liuxian goes without saying. On the other hand, Shan Qiuhuo, also in the Underworld, sensed an aura extremely similar to his own [Nurturing Immortal Ground]. This undoubtedly corroborated Lü Yang's statement, allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief and completely abandon certain thoughts in his mind. Of course, all of this is secondary.
More importantly, the key figures are Lü Yang and Si Chong, who stand on either side of the World Honored One. These two Dao Lords are in no way inferior to, and may even be slightly superior to, them.
"Then forget it."
After a moment, Zhu Liuxian shook his head: "You can save all living beings, but you absolutely cannot take them to be reincarnated before my plan fails."
His grand feng shui formation requires the help of all living beings.
"can."
The World-Honored One gladly agreed.
On the other side, Shan Qiuhuo walked over with bright eyes: "I am very interested in that underworld. Perhaps we can have a chat."
"You're leading all beings to reincarnation, so you must rely on this underworld, right? But I don't think it's strong enough. However, if I personally merge into it and become one with its essence, perhaps I can increase its strength and make it capable of shouldering heavy responsibilities. We can discuss the specific details later."
Dan Qiu Huo's original plan was to integrate into the [Immortal Nourishing Land] and then enter the [Free and Easy Wandering] to travel to the Guanghai Era.
However, it turned out that this was not feasible.
That's why he chose to befriend Lü Yang, a benefactor, to see if he could find a more reliable method. And how long did it take? The method came along.
"Make friends with influential people."
'All that studying back then definitely paid off!'
Thinking this, Shan Qiuhuo couldn't help but glance at Lü Yang again, his mind becoming increasingly clear: 'This one is probably the most important person in the world right now!'
In an instant, the atmosphere returned to harmony.
Lu Yang silently observed all of this, then glanced at his own [Book of a Hundred Lifetimes], and a few indescribable feelings suddenly arose in his heart.
In history, the ancient past has been destroyed.
All records related to the ancient past have disappeared, and the cause and effect cannot be traced back. Only some fragmented inheritances remain, so at first glance, the ancient past is indeed dead.
But actually?
There is no actual evidence to prove that the ancient world was destroyed. It's like a black box; no one knows what's inside unless it's opened.
The ancient world may have been destroyed, or it may have been reborn, but it has left the Sea of Light and gone to the deeper parts of the Void. Who can say that this is not possible?
And now-
'I am experiencing this history firsthand!'
The struggle between the Dao Lord and the Dao Ancestor, the actions of everyone vying for the Seed of the Great Dao, and their efforts to save the world will directly determine the final fate of the ancient Divine Continent.
Destruction or rebirth?
None of that matters. What matters is:
'I can restart it!'
'The anchor points have all been set. Whether it's the Immortal Zhuliu or the World Honored One, if their plan to save Shenzhou fails, or if the First Saint is about to seize the Seed of the Great Dao, I can start all over again.'
'Continuous trial and error, continuous adjustments.'
'Until we succeed!'
At this thought, Lü Yang had a sudden inspiration: 'Perhaps this is why I was able to set up an anchor point here for that Nascent Soul cultivator, wanting me to get a good ending from the black box?'
No, that's not all.
Lu Yang thought of the Seed of the Great Dao. Compared with the so-called saving the world, the Seed of the Great Dao was a more definite opportunity that could allow people to transcend to godhood.
Two paths.
'The limited number of restarts—whether to use them to save the world or to compete for the Seed of the Great Dao—that Nascent Soul cultivator gave me the choice.'
It's about wanting a happy ending.
Or should one transcend it alone?
