A Second Glimpse into Fate, The Phantom of the Azure Lotus
Chapter 76 A Second Glimpse into Fate, The Phantom of the Azure Lotus
Three new streams of primordial purple energy shone brightly in the vast void.
The appearance of new Primordial Purple Qi signifies the emergence of three new Saintly Positions in the primordial land.
Hongjun, sitting in the chaos, was already dumbfounded.
"That's possible?!"
The primordial world has grown larger and become more stable than before.
Hongjun now wields more power over the Heavenly Dao than before, which should have been a cause for celebration.
But for some reason, Hongjun felt that something was wrong.
"In that case, does that mean I won't have to wait for countless eons...?"
Whispers arose within the Purple Cloud Palace, and Hongjun began to deduce the path ahead.
······
The Netherworld Blood Sea.
The countless beings of the primordial world gazed longingly at the Primordial Purple Qi in the void, suppressing their desire to seize it, and looked at the Dao Ancestor Guixuan with burning eyes.
People have expectations and yearn for the future.
Feeling the countless burning gazes, Gui Xuan sighed.
"These three strands of primordial purple energy are what I sought from the Primordial Heavenly Dao to pave the way for you."
"Logically speaking, it should be granted by me."
At this point, Gui Xuan clearly sensed the stirrings of the thoughts of the billions of living beings below, their gazes growing even more fervent.
"But life is hard for all living beings. If I were to designate it to a particular primordial being, it would be too unfair to the other beings."
"I have already explained the path ahead; everything is determined by the law of cause and effect."
"These three streams of primordial purple energy were all fairly competed for by you sentient beings."
"When the time is right, the Primordial Purple Qi will appear to help you attain enlightenment."
As Gui Xuan finished speaking, the three strands of primordial purple energy in the void all dissipated and merged into the void.
"The Dao Ancestor Guixuan has shown mercy!!"
The hearts of countless living beings in the primordial world were filled with excitement.
The road ahead has widened once again, and the path of seeking enlightenment for all beings has not been extinguished.
Just then, Houtu, the ancestral witch of the Wu tribe, suddenly flew to the front and said respectfully, "Greetings, Ancestor Guixuan!"
"Dao Ancestor, I have a question, and I hope that Dao Ancestor Guixuan can answer it."
Gui Xuan's eyes flashed with golden light. "Speak!"
"Our Wu clan does not cultivate the primordial spirit, nor do we understand the Dao, so we do not know if we have the opportunity to become saints."
Splash!
When the question of the ancestral witch Houtu arose, billions of living beings in the prehistoric world were in uproar.
"The Witch Clan still wants to attain enlightenment? Without cultivating their primordial spirit and understanding the secrets of heaven, how can they possibly attain enlightenment?!"
"ignorance!"
"The Witch Clan has gone mad! They possess immeasurable karma, yet they still aspire to sainthood?"
"·····"
Mocking, disdain.
The countless beings of the primordial world, who already harbored resentment towards the Wu Clan, could no longer hold back.
If the witch clan were to truly become saints, what would become of their billions of lives?
Do they live in constant fear and chaos amidst the flames of war?!
In an instant, the once spiritually vibrant preaching ground was filled with resentment.
Gui Xuan glanced indifferently at the Wu Clan, and finally, amidst the incredulous gazes of all the primordial beings, said, "Yes!"
"As I said, this is to pave the way for all living beings in the primordial world. The Wu Clan is also one of the living beings in the primordial world, and they too have the opportunity to become saints."
However, before the Wu Clan members could show any excitement, Gui Xuan's tone changed.
"You witches, if you wish to attain sainthood, you must find your own true path."
"If things remain the same as before, there is no hope of attaining enlightenment."
Houtu's eyes gleamed with joy upon receiving the answer. "Thank you, Dao Ancestor Guixuan, for clearing up my doubts."
After Houtu left, Guixuan turned his gaze to the Styx Ancestor.
Ancestor Styx stepped forward and said, "Forgive me, Dao Ancestor Guixuan."
"Have you already grasped the Way?"
The Styx Ancestor lowered his head and remained silent, his eyes revealing confusion and bewilderment. "This disciple is dull-witted!"
Gui Xuan smiled and said, "Don't rush, don't rush."
"A leaf before the eyes obscures one's true self."
"Stay at Hongyun's Buddhist temple for a while; hopefully it will be of some help to you."
The Styx Ancestor said in a low voice, "Disciple obeys."
"Hahaha!" The Red Cloud Ancestral Buddha beside him was overjoyed. "Our Buddhism has gained another holy being."
"Fellow Daoist Styx, from this day forward you shall be the Vice Leader of my Buddhism, with a status equal to mine."
"Homage to the Compassionate Buddha of the Underworld!"
boom!
The power of destiny erupted and fell upon the Styx River.
"Namo Compassionate Buddha of the Underworld!"
The chanting of Buddhist scriptures was melodious, and the Buddha's light shone everywhere.
Before the eyes of countless beings in the primordial world, the Styx Ancestor, surrounded by bloodthirsty aura, strangely emitted a Buddhist light.
After Hongyun finished speaking, he extended his finger into the void.
"I sense that there is a being in this sea of blood who has a connection with Buddhism."
As he spoke, he pulled a six-winged blood mosquito beast from the void.
His eyes were filled with fear, his whole body trembled, and a fierce aura lingered around him.
"The ferocious beasts left over from ancient times, due to being imbued with the Taoist teachings of the Dao Ancestor Guixuan, have developed intelligence."
"Now that it has developed intelligence, it can no longer be considered a ferocious beast."
"Today, Buddhism is doubly blessed! A truly auspicious occasion!"
Gui Xuan nodded.
Now that this matter is settled, it's time for him to leave.
What follows is left to all the myriad beings of the primordial world to ferry themselves across.
He reappeared on Fangzhang Island in the North Sea, preparing to once again glimpse fate within the Chaos Pearl.
By helping Nuwa achieve sainthood, he had already grasped a glimpse of the trajectory of destiny.
This time, I preached the Way to all living beings in the universe, paving the way forward and making the primordial world vast and boundless.
Fate intervened again, and he seized it.
Having captured destiny twice, Gui Xuan felt even more confident in his ability to glimpse it again.
A fragment of the Jade Butterfly of Creation appeared, which he held in his mouth, and Gui Xuan once again revealed his true form.
His true form, spanning 129.6 billion miles, made a stunning appearance.
The scene flashed, and Guixuan reappeared in the chaos.
Quiet, eerie.
Chaotic energy intertwined and wandered in the void.
The silent, chaotic world remained as lifeless and desolate as before.
Gui Xuan transformed into its original form and floated above the chaotic world, flying towards the location where the nine-sectioned earthworm had appeared, following the direction in its memory.
"I wonder if this time's divination is a continuation of the last one, or a fresh start."
During the flight, Gui Xuan felt a heavy heart.
Hongjun has already merged with the Dao, becoming an existence similar to the Heavenly Dao.
To peek into Hongjun's fate is to peek into the destiny of the primordial Heavenly Dao.
It is dangerous; if one is not careful, one will be lost in Hongjun's destiny.
Having flown an unknown distance, Gui Xuan, flying above the chaos, changed his form.
It transformed into a giant tortoise, tens of millions of feet in size, and hovered in the void.
"It's not the same place as last time."
Gui Xuan's expression remained unchanged as he watched the nine-jointed earthworms swimming below.
The nine-sectioned earthworm he had seen last time had now emerged from underground and was wandering aimlessly across the chaotic earth.
Sometimes it burrows into the ground, sometimes it skims across the ground.
Carefree and happy.
Seeing this, Gui Xuan couldn't help but wonder again if he had come to the wrong place.
"Could this be Hongjun?"
He used the fragments of the Jade Disc of Creation as a starting point to connect with another part, all in order to peek into Hongjun's fate.
Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any problems.
"To be able to transform such a simple nine-sectioned cricket into a Dao Ancestor in the primordial world who is skilled in calculation and manipulating all living beings."
"What exactly happened?"
"Old man, what secret do you have?"
Following far behind the nine-sectioned earthworm, Gui Xuan was in no hurry at all.
In a chaotic world, there is no concept of time, so there's no use in being anxious.
I don't know how much time has passed.
Perhaps the nine-sectioned earthworm was tired from walking, so it lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
Gui Xuan was speechless for a moment.
"So, I came all this way just to watch you sleep, huh?"
All that effort for just to watch an earthworm sleep.
This is simply unprecedented.
This made Guixuan somewhat doubt the existence of the tortoise.
This sleep lasted for countless hours.
While the nine-jointed earthworm was lying motionless on the ground sleeping, Gui Xuan flew to its side and began to observe it carefully.
"It has no beard, no feet, no eyes, no nose, only a huge mouth."
"The wonders of creation leave one speechless."
As he observed the nine-segmented earthworm, a peculiar rhythm appeared around him.
The breath of the nine-sectioned earthworm spread outwards.
Under Gui Xuan's terrified gaze.
This rhythm is becoming more and more prevalent, and its spread is accelerating.
In the blink of an eye, a huge cyan lotus phantom appeared in the chaotic world.
It blots out the sky and is hundreds of millions of feet high.
Furthermore, as the rhythm emanating from the nine-sectioned earthworm increased, the illusory image of the blue lotus also grew larger.
And it is slowly solidifying.
"Damn it!"
Even Gui Xuan, the Dao Ancestor of the Primordial World, couldn't help but utter a classic phrase from his past life.
A saying that would be passed down through the ages inexplicably appeared in Gui Xuan's mind.
"First came Hongjun, then came Heaven?!"
hiss! !
Bang!
The scene before my eyes exploded.
The scene before Gui Xuan's eyes flashed, and he returned to the Chaos Pearl once more.
Staring blankly at the Chaos Pearl, which was intertwined with chaotic energy, he was stunned.
Gui Xuan remained in a daze for a long time.
"Could it be that all those myths and legends from my past life were based on some kind of clue?"
"Is it all true?!"
But how could that be?
Aren't these myths and legends just figments of people's imaginations in later generations?
How could it be true?
Even if it's true.
But how did such a secret, which is only known to mortals, get leaked out?
Gui Xuan Meng has returned.
"Existence is its own justification, but I am now in the primordial world and am slowly influencing its development to some extent."
"But no legends about me have been passed down to later generations."
"There is only one sentence: the giant tortoise died supporting the sky; what happened afterward is a matter of much debate."
"Why is that?"
With his current strength, Gui Xuan has this confidence.
When the pillar of Buzhou Mountain collapsed, the sages repaired the sky. When Tongtian drew his sword to slay the tortoise, he fought bravely against the sages.
And they broke free from their predestined fate.
"Myth, myth, what exactly is going on?"
Gui Xuan is lost in confusion.
He immediately began to seriously consider the legends about the primordial world.
I've thought about it for a long time, but the more I think about it, the more confused I become.
I might as well stop worrying about it.
"It's just a myth. Since I've been reborn, I'll enjoy this life to the fullest and live it to the fullest!"
He has already become the Dao Ancestor, and the next step is the Heavenly Dao Realm.
The next step is the realm of the Great Dao.
The truth will come out sooner or later; thinking about it now is just asking for trouble.
"Judging by the time, the Three Pure Ones should have become saints by now."
"Want to go join the fun?"
After gathering his thoughts, Gui Xuan appeared on Fangzhang Immortal Island and pondered to himself.
With the advent of humanity, if the Daoist Taiqing wishes to attain sainthood, he must establish a religion dedicated to humanity.
With the help of the People's Education Movement, we can break free from our shackles.
"This guy cultivates the Dao of Supreme Non-Action, and does not participate in the cause and effect of heaven and earth."
"Inaction is action; seemingly inaction is actually action everywhere."
"He is somewhat similar to that old fellow Hongjun; both are shrewd scheming individuals."
After thinking for a while, Guixuan disappeared from Fangzhang Immortal Island and began his continued seclusion.
Human territory.
Looking down at the bustling human race below, they were barely clothed, ignorant and naive like monkeys.
Gui Xuan's Azure Lotus clone shook its head.
"Humans, how miserable they are~~~"
