Understanding Heaven and Earth, Zhen Yuanzi's Invitation.

Chapter 34 Understanding Heaven and Earth, Zhen Yuanzi's Invitation.

Time flies by like a fleeting moment; in the blink of an eye, ten years have quietly passed.

"Master, we have arrived at the primordial land."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing opened his eyes, which had been closed, and looked ahead, gazing at the majestic mountain in the distance, a calm expression on his face.

"Mirage Dragon, let's try a different direction this time."

After looking around, Chen Qing chose a direction.

"Mirage Dragon, head west. On this journey, we will visit the western lands."

After saying this, Chen Qing flashed away, stepped onto the primordial land, and then walked forward.

Upon seeing this, the mirage dragon immediately shrank its size and followed Chen Qing forward.

The mirage dragon was very self-aware and concealed its aura, preventing its Golden Immortal realm aura from leaking out.

Chen Qingdu walked across the primordial land, looking at everything around him with a sense of relief in his eyes.

At this moment, he no longer thought about how to condense the supreme Dharma form, nor how to condense the past body, present body, and future body, nor how to advance to the minor world, or how to create infinite dust.

At this moment, he opened his heart and walked calmly across the primordial land, like an ordinary person, taking one step at a time.

The mirage dragon followed Chen Qing without saying a word, instead looking around and comprehending the mysteries of heaven and earth and the creation of all things.

He remembered his master Chen Qing's words: "Walking is also a form of cultivation. Only by stabilizing one's Dao heart can one go further."

Although he was able to enter Jin'ao Island and hear about the Great Dao of the Sages because of Chen Qing, and his cultivation had made some progress, he knew that the Golden Immortal realm was still far from those of the true powerhouses.

In the present primordial world, Golden Immortals are as common as dogs, Taiyi Immortals are everywhere, and Daluo Golden Immortals can be encountered at any time. Only Quasi-Saints can dominate a region, and only those with great supernatural powers can become kings and rulers. Saints set the rules for everything.

However, sages are the most outstanding beings in the primordial world. They are transcendent and generally do not concern themselves with the affairs of the primordial world.

In the primordial world today, the Witch Clan and the Demon Clan are the overlords of heaven and earth, while the Dragon Clan can only live as turtles in the four seas to reproduce and thrive.

He glanced at his master. If he hadn't met his master, he might still be wandering aimlessly in the East Sea, hunting with his supernatural powers, unaware of the Great Dao.

The mirage dragon carefully followed Chen Qing, traveling with him across the prehistoric land.

Chen Qing traveled through the primordial world. Whenever he arrived at a place, he would stop to observe the mountains and rivers, the living beings there, and sense the differences in this world.

Although he had grasped the true meaning of the Great Dao and the laws had merged into his own Great Dao, he still had different understandings each time he sensed the heavens and earth and observed the mountains, rivers, and all living things.

At this moment, he finally understood why sages would constantly seek to comprehend the Dao of Heaven: because each time they comprehend the Dao of Heaven, they gain a different understanding and different insights.

These countless different understandings and insights, when brought together, can allow them to further improve their own Dao and allow their own laws to grow once again.

Unbeknownst to Chen Qing, he had already been traveling for over a thousand years.

Over the course of thousands of years, numerous strange beasts, monsters, and cultivators have attacked him.

There are Xuanxian realm, Jinxian realm, Taiyi Jinxian realm, and Daluo Jinxian realm.

Without exception, they were all annihilated by him using his own divine power of Nirvana and Unity, and were eventually transformed into pure primordial power, which he threw into the small world to nurture it.

This is because when he traveled across the primordial land, the cultivation level he displayed was only at the True Immortal level.

Furthermore, he did not change his origins; he exuded the aura of a human.

In the primordial world, all races know that the human race was created by the sage Nuwa. Although the Supreme Sage established the Human Religion among the human race as their support.

But at this moment, Chen Qing was walking alone on the primordial land, accompanied by a small beast, which in their eyes was still a small beast without cultivation.

At this moment, Chen Qing, who was displaying the true immortal realm, was like a lamb to the slaughter in their eyes, their food.

After all, losing one human wouldn't make much of a difference. The Sage Nuwa and the Supreme Sage wouldn't be paying attention to the human race all the time, nor would they notice a true immortal among them.

Since there are no strong individuals among the human race, in their eyes, Chen Qing is their food, a rare treasure to increase their own cultivation.

Anyone who had this idea was transformed into pure essence by Chen Qing and sent into the small world to help it grow.

Chen Qing has traveled through the primordial world for thousands of years, and has collected many treasures of heaven and earth, rare flowers and herbs, innate spiritual medicines, and acquired spiritual roots.

All of this was sent by him to the small world, where it grew.

Over the course of a thousand years, although he has not gained any enlightenment, nor has he had any opportunity to condense the supreme Dharma form, he has still gained something.

At this moment, the river of laws behind Chen Qing became more condensed, wider, and deeper.

Inside, the river flowed even faster, and endless auras of law rippled within, occasionally causing small splashes of water before returning to calm.

Through Chen Qing's thousand-year journey through the long river of rules, he gained insights into heaven and earth, and into all living things, becoming even more powerful.

Chen Qing simply smiled faintly at these changes, not caring at all.

Now he doesn't need to deliberately comprehend the great principles of heaven and earth, nor does he need to deliberately seek anything. At his level, everything depends on fate.

If fate allows, everything will fall into place naturally; if fate does not allow, even with diligent seeking, it will ultimately be unattainable.

Chen Qing took one last look at this world, then sighed helplessly.

"If this world were free of these miasmas, it would be much better."

"Very well, let me lend a hand to this world and restore it to its original appearance."

Chen Qing listened to the mournful cries coming from heaven and earth, then smiled and shook his head.

With a thought, endless miasma, poison, resentment, and other miasma converged into his palm, eventually forming a small ball.

He glanced at the small black ball in his palm, silently shook his head, and then tossed it into one of his own little worlds.

This small world is specifically for storing miasma, poison, resentment, blood, and evil energy. As for what kind of world this small world will eventually evolve into, he has no idea and does not interfere. Instead, he quietly observes how it evolves.

After doing all this, Chen Qing began to move forward again.

Seeing its master begin to walk, the mirage dragon followed suit, walking towards the world ahead, accompanying Chen Qing.

In the western land, Chen Qing and the Mirage Dragon walked on the earth.

"Master, why are so many strange beasts and monsters so blind, trying to eat us?"

Upon hearing this question, Chen Qing's eyes showed a thoughtful expression before he calmly replied.

"In the primordial world, the strong prey on the weak, and the weak are kings, while the weak are left to be slaughtered like meat on a cutting board, at the mercy of others. This is the natural order of things."

"Mirage Dragon, you must know that in this world, only the strong are worthy of possessing everything. They set the rules and can change them at will. Even if there are some minor setbacks in the process, they can still correct them with their own strength."

"The weak are nothing; they can only be dominated by the strong and can only survive according to the established rules."

"If the strong want the weak to die, then the weak can only helplessly wait for death to come."

Upon hearing this, the mirage dragon's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

At this moment, he knew that all of this was real, that his master was right, that everything was so cruel, that the strong possessed everything, and that the weak were only fit to be dominated.

Chen Qing glanced at the silent Mirage Dragon, then continued walking forward.

The two continued their journey, and another thousand years passed in that time.

Over the course of a thousand years, Chen Qing accomplished many things.

He would look at the mountains and rivers polluted by miasma, poisonous gas, resentment, and so on, and he would directly take these away, giving the polluted mountains and rivers a new life.

Of course, it also annihilated a lot of monsters, strange beasts, and ferocious beasts. Mainly because they attacked Chen Qing, they were all turned into pure essence and thrown into the small world by Chen Qing to help the small world grow.

Some people wanted to discuss the Dao with Chen Qing, including those at the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, as well as those at the Taiyi Golden Immortal and Golden Immortal realms. Chen Qing looked at them, said a few words, and then left directly.

Chen Qing was not even in the same league as them; his understanding of the Great Dao was far beyond their comprehension.

His few words about the great principles were profound truths, enough for those people to ponder for many years.

On this day, they looked at the high mountains ahead with admiration in their eyes.

The mountain soared into the clouds, with one-third of it obscured by mist.

Above, the innate spiritual energy is extremely rich, and the earth's energy rises, transforming into the form of dragons and tigers; innate spiritual springs flow freely, and there are many rare flowers and herbs, as well as several acquired spiritual roots.

Mythical beasts gallop through the mountains, and white cranes dance in the air; it is truly a blessed land.

Such a blessed place must be inhabited by a master.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with appreciation. After traveling through the primordial world for thousands of years, he finally saw a blessed land.

Chen Qing observed the peaceful energy flowing through the mountains, the frolicking of strange beasts, and the soaring of white cranes, which proved that the mountain's owner was a highly accomplished person and not a bloodthirsty individual.

Chen Qing glanced at the mirage dragon beside him, then walked forward. Before he knew it, he had reached the foot of the mountain.

Looking up at the mountains, hesitating whether to go and take a look, two children came out of the mountains.

"Senior, my master is Zhen Yuanzi. He foresaw your arrival and invites you to Wanshou Mountain for a chat."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing's eyes showed surprise, and then he glanced at the two boys in front of him.

"Zhen Yuanzi? He invites me to have a talk?"

Upon hearing Chen Qing's question, the two boys immediately nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, senior. My master invites you to the temple for a chat. Please come."

These two attendants are Qingfeng and Mingyue, attendants of Zhen Yuanzi, and they both now possess the cultivation level of Xuanxian.

They were puzzled as to why their master wanted them to address this person as "senior," even though this person's cultivation level seemed lower than theirs.

Qingfeng and Mingyue were puzzled by Chen Qing's True Immortal cultivation level.

Chen Qing didn't look at the two of them, but instead looked up at the mountaintop. There, a Taoist temple stood atop the mountain, and inside the temple was a Taoist priest named Zhen Yuanzi.

He seemed to sense something, and at this moment he also opened his eyes and looked at the foot of Longevity Mountain, meeting Chen Qing's gaze.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi immediately spoke softly.

"Fellow Daoist, please come into the temple for a chat."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing immediately nodded and spoke softly.

"Since it was Brother Zhen Yuanzi who invited me, then this humble Taoist will naturally come."

After saying this, Chen Qing strode towards Longevity Hill.

Seeing that its master had left, the Mirage Dragon followed suit, but when it passed by Qingfeng and Mingyue, it directly revealed a trace of its aura.

Chen Qing also noticed it, but he didn't pay much attention to it and continued heading towards the top of Longevity Hill.

At this moment, Qingfeng and Mingyue stood there in a daze, looking at the Mirage Dragon with a look of disbelief in their eyes.

They had just sensed a terrifying aura emanating from the Mirage Dragon, an aura that made them feel as if they had entered an ice cellar.

They sensed a deadly crisis emanating from that aura, a crisis they were utterly powerless to resist.

Qingfeng and Mingyue exchanged a glance, both realizing that Chen Qing and Shenlong had concealed their cultivation levels. At this moment, they still felt a lingering sense of unease.

Fortunately, they still respected Chen Qing and always addressed him as a senior; otherwise, they really didn't dare to imagine what the consequences would have been.

At this moment, the two watched Chen Qing walk away, then exhaled a breath of stale air, exchanged a glance, and headed towards the summit of Longevity Mountain.

Chen Qing walked through Wanshou Mountain, but he was not in a hurry to see Zhen Yuanzi. Instead, he walked and looked at the beautiful scenery of the mountain.

Longevity Mountain truly lives up to its reputation as one of the top blessed lands in the primordial world. Along the way, he has already seen several innate grand formations.

Moreover, Wanshou Mountain is a place where Yin and Yang and the Five Elements are in harmony, and all four symbols are present, giving it a unique mountain terrain.

After observing for a while, Chen Qing's eyes showed satisfaction.

When they reached the mountainside, he looked at the waterfall that seemed to cascade down from the sky and said something with great emotion.

"A waterfall plunges thirty thousand feet, as if the Milky Way had fallen to earth."

The source of the waterfall is a natural spring, located at the summit of a mountain, which is shrouded in auspicious clouds. From a distance, it appears as if the waters of the Milky Way have fallen into the primordial earth.

After expressing his feelings, Chen Qing headed straight for the mountaintop.
