With a blur in front of his eyes, Qing Yu had returned to reality.
Not far away, by the Tai Su Pond, Xuan Zhen was still combing the Yuan Qi for Lian Qingduan, helping him to refine it. Qing Yu’s battle in the inheritance space had not cost him even a second in reality.
Rather, it was the still subsiding killing aura and battle intent in his body that caused Xuan Zhen to glance back with some curiosity, a hint of peculiarity flashing in his eyes.
After just less than a breath of time, there was a little more change in Qing Yu’s aura, a hint more-
emmmm——
I think it’s a zen mood.
Qing Yu smiled and gestured to Xuan Zhen, a familiar smile that caused Xuan Zhen to collect her surprise and proceed to busy herself with dealing with the aftermath for Lian Qingduan.
Although she, a Tong Shen realm powerhouse, could be said to be completely overqualified to deal with this trivial matter, it was better to stay more attentive for the sake of her apprentice’s future without future problems.
”All actions are impermanent, all dharmas have no self, and nirvana is silent ——”
Qing Yu quietly pondered over the Buddhist doctrine of the ‘Three Dharma Seals of Rudra’.
According to Buddhists, there are only three truths in the world, and they are the Three Dharma Seals.
The main focus of the Three Dharma Seals is transcendence, the absence of sorrow, the absence of attachment, the absence of birth and death, the transcendence of all things in this world, and the attainment of Buddhahood.
Qing Yu’s state of mind is such that he can see through the impermanence of all actions and is not happy with things, not sad with himself, but he has a great obsession with longevity. He knows that this realm can elevate his mind, but he is unwilling to give it up.
It is difficult not to carry the past, not to look forward to the future, not to indulge in the present, and to have no self in all dharmas.
Even with the insights gained from Mahāyāna, it is still difficult for me to truly penetrate the Three Dharma Seals of Kṛṣṇa.’
This is an ideal state, and perhaps in this world, even the strongest people in the Dao realm are unable to truly transcend. Or should I say, the reason why strong people are strong is that their obsessions are heavier and stronger than anyone else.
If they had no obsession, they would not be much different from a salted fish.
As Qing Yu was thinking, the Xuantian jade pendant flashed and the Nine Heavens Council began again.
One of Qing Yu’s Yuan Shen responded with an echo, and through the jade pendant, projected into the sky between the domes.
“It hasn’t been long since the last council, why is everyone being called again at such short notice?”
As soon as he entered the Heavenly Vault, he heard someone asking the Old Man of Time’s Life, and Qing Yu fixed his eyes on him.
This one had always been a man of few words, but he had no idea why he was asking today.
“Let’s wait until everyone is here.” The old man of the time said.
It was not long before the rest of the people appeared in this room one after another, as the shadows flashed.
“Eh?”
The last light flashed on the central throne of Jun Tian, the Blade God Nangong Broken Sword, who also appeared today within the vault of heaven between.
The light and shadow faded, revealing a figure like a sword, and a heavenly sword momentum descended within the vault of heaven.
However, the power of the sword was only short-lived, and then it disappeared. A few members who felt a little pressure in their hearts breathed a sigh of relief.
“Sorry, I’ve been in seclusion sharpening my sword qi, I couldn’t collect it in time, I’m a bit rude.” Nangong Broken Sword waved his hand gently and said.
His aura could no longer be seen to be obscure, and from the looks of it, the Blade God had returned to full strength.
The crowd, either explicitly or implicitly, were all sizing up the Blade God, trying to find out the condition of his injuries.
“Jun Tian, you’ve recovered from your injuries?”
As the only supreme power in the Nine Heavens in plain sight today, Ji Chengtian asked bluntly.
“Not yet fully recovered, Tai Shang’s True Qi has an extremely strong sharpening effect on my Blade Qi, and I intend to keep it until my Blade Qi can cut through his True Qi.”
The words of the Blade God were marked by extreme confidence and a still undefeated state of mind. He had fought the Supreme Daoist Lord several times, and had not won a single battle, but despite this, the Blade God still maintained a courageous and progressive heart, without a hint of retreat.
The strongest are always strong, not only in strength but also in heart. If the Blade God had been overshadowed by his several defeats, he would not have come this far.
“This time, we are participating in the proceedings for two main reasons.”
The Sword God looked around, his eyes were filled with battle intent, “I heard in seclusion that the Sword God is still alive and has escaped from his trap, gentlemen, if you and others have found the whereabouts of the Sword God, you should inform me, Nangong Broken Sword, owes him a favour.”
“The second thing is about the rising of the Yuan Qi. This matter, let you, Changing Heaven, speak.”
Old Man Timeless Life took over and said to the crowd, “You all should have noticed that the heaven and earth’s Yuan Qi is now a few degrees thicker than it was in the past, and our plan is beginning to bear fruit, and as a result, those martial artists who are not deep in the realm are now breaking through more freely.”
“However ——”
“Due to the warning from the Supreme Daoist Lord, the Nine Heavens is not suitable to continue to induce the robbery, next everyone should not rush and suspend the plan.”
When Elder Timeless Life said this, Ji Chengtian however spoke out, “Why did the Daoist Lord Tai Shang ask us to suspend invoking the tribulation, if he opposed this matter, he could have struck down a fierce hand to eradicate us.”
“If I am correct, Lord Tai Shang Dao should have followed the Buddha’s example and asked the Heavenly Dao to open the door for him to break through the realm.
In the battle between the Brahmins and the Buddhists, the Buddha was the one who answered the tribulation. As the Three Phase Gods were too powerful, the Heavenly Dao’s restrictions on the Buddha were repeatedly relaxed until, finally, the Buddha seized the opportunity to break through the realm of enlightenment and subdue the Three Phase Gods.
The purpose of the Supreme Daoist Lord was probably to be the one who should answer the tribulation in this great tribulation.”
“According to you, if you want the Heavenly Dao to completely release its restrictions, you will need a person who is strong to the extreme to lead the tribulation?” Qing Yu said.
If the enemy was not strong enough, even if the Supreme Daoist Lord became a person who was due for a tribulation, he would not be able to make the Heavenly Dao release its restrictions. Only if the enemy reached the extreme point below the Dao Realm, or even half-stepped into the Dao Realm and posed an unprecedented threat to the Supreme Daoist Lord, would the Heavenly Dao let go of that line and allow the person responding to the tribulation to break the realm.
“Not bad, that’s why the Supreme Daoist Lord had to wait. Because he is the strongest person in the world, if no sufficiently powerful enemy appears, he will not be able to find the opportunity to break the realm even if he becomes the one who should break the tribulation.” The Old Man of Time and Destiny said.
“But ——” Ji Chengtian said, “With our plan, Lord Tai Shang Dao is actually the most promising to be the first to break the realm after the restrictions are released, so why would he perform such a troublesome act.”
According to the Nine Heavens’ plan, if the restrictions of heaven and earth were broken, then everyone would have the chance to break through the Dao Realm.
As the most powerful person in the world, Lord Tai Shang Dao was actually the closest person to the Dao Realm, he only needed to be a spectator to gain the opportunity to break through the realm, so why did he go to such trouble to create a strong enemy to fight with himself.
Could it be that Lord Tai Shang Dao still had a compa*sionate heart?
Don’t be ridiculous, if he were truly compa*sionate, he would not have allowed the people to cause the calamity and eradicated the scourge of the world from the very beginning.
