Chapter 872 – The Secret of the Great Calamity (End)

Crude martial artist …….. The Nine Tailed Fox’s expression was slightly angry, and she slanted him a thousand times.

Xu Qi’an still suffered the loss of “uneducated”, these mysterious and esoteric theories and philosophies, he did not know anything about them, and there was no such course in the nine-year compulsory education in his previous life.

In these respects, therefore, he is indeed a deservedly crude martial artist.

“Tai Shang Forgetfulness is both Heaven and Thick Virtue is both Earth.”

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox gave a short and concise answer.

Very clever, cleverly using the Heavenly Sect’s heart method to summarize “heaven”, Xu Qi’an secretly nodded.

“That’s the heaven and earth you see now, in fact, the rules of heaven and earth are always changing, just like the vicissitudes of life in the human world, every thousand years, it’s a new atmosphere.” Supervisor Zheng lamented:

“That’s when a jug of wine is needed.”

“It’s not like you can drink.” Xu Qi’an disliked it without a good mood.

When the supervisor sniffed, he looked disappointed.

Xu Qi’an turned to the enchanting beauty with silver hair and fox ears beside her:

“But we can drink.”

At that moment, he took out a jar of wine from the fragment of the earth book and shared it with the Nine-tailed Sky Fox with you taking a sip and me taking a bite.

The disappointment on Supervisor Zheng’s face turned into anger.

He sighed, not going to look at the dog man and woman, his eyes looked into the distance and slowly said:

“When the heavens and the earth first opened, they were obscure and barren, and there was nothing in Kyushu except for the vast sky and the desolate, dead earth. It was probably too desolate, and after countless years, the first gods and devils were born.

“Then, more and more gods and demons were birthed, and life emerged from this. Each God-Devil possessed terrifying greatness, holding the power of a certain realm in heaven and earth.

“The origin of this power is what you often refer to as Spiritual Aura.

“It seemed that the heavens and the earth had also found “their” future and began to give birth to beings, and more and more races appeared.

“But if you are familiar with ancient history, you will know that the human and demon races in the ancient times did not possess any divine supernatural powers. They were unable to cultivate, and could only steal some minuscule amount of power from the gods and demons by way of peering into their spiritual embodiment.

“Or, by sacrificing a female, breed with the gods and demons and give birth to offspring that possess some of the spirit.”

“Unable to cultivate?” Xu Qi’an keenly caught the unusualness in Supervisor Zheng’s words.

The human and demon races of the ancient times had controlled supernatural power by learning and imitating the patterns formed by the spirit embodiment of gods and demons, which he had learned about a long time ago.

But that was because the human and demon races belonged to the late generation and had not figured out a cultivation method of their own, so they could only learn from and imitate the gods and demons.

It was not until later that the cultivation systems were slowly worked out, such as the initial “martial arts” and “Taoism”, and the later “Buddhism”, “Witchcraft”, “Confucianism”, “Art”, and “Buddhism”. “Witchcraft”, “Confucianism” and “Art”.

But what the Superintendent is saying is – it’s impossible to practice!

Not “won’t practice”.

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox frowned, she had obviously heard the problem as well.

The supervisor was scanning the two men and asked:

“Have you had dealings with Arak, and how strong is this Ancient God-Demon?”

Nonsense ……. Xu Qi’an said:

“It’s strong, frighteningly strong.”

The Superintendent asked again:

“He was damaged in the Ancient Battle of the Spirit and was no longer at his peak, and for countless years, he has vomited his heart and soul trying to repair his spirit, but he has never seen any hope until now.

“Hasn’t He ever thought of practicing the system of the human race to enhance His own heritage?”

Without waiting for the two to answer, Supervisor Zheng gave the answer himself:

“Because Gods and Demons are incapable of cultivation, He is born into whatever realm He is born into.”

Xu Qi’an froze for a moment and immediately looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox, finding that she had a dazed look on her face.

He couldn’t help but recall that the fox spirit had once said to him that the cultivation methods of the descendants of gods and demons were different from those of the human and demon races.

After figuring this out, Xu Qi’an guessed in conjunction with what Supervisor Zheng had just said:

“In that era, only beings nurtured by heaven and earth like gods and devils could control supernatural greatness. And the human race, no matter what method they adopted, could not cultivate unless they imitated the gods and demons?”

The superintendent nodded:

“At that time, the forces of heaven and earth, such as yin and yang, the five elements, and so on, were in a state of chaos; sometimes the sun would hang in the sky for decades and hundreds of years, and sometimes the moon was the only source of light in the sky.

“There are places where there is no power of the fire spirit, where fire can never be lit, and there are places where flames scorch every space for ages, and this is the Ancient Age.”

No wonder other beings can t cultivate, the chaotic and disordered spiritual power can t be used at all, and only gods and devils who are born to control the laws can supernatural power, but His power is innate and fixed at birth …….. Xu Qi’an drifted off.

Then he heard the nine-tailed fox whisper to himself:

“The dead silence after the opening of the heavens and the earth, to the ancient times when spiritual power was chaotic and disordered, to the present day when yin and yang are in order and the five elements are differentiated ……….”

The Superintendent laughed:

“This side of the world we live in didn’t happen overnight, it evolved step by step.”

“From its birth, a living being inevitably ages; from its foundation, a dynasty likewise inevitably perishes.

“This is also true of this side of Heaven and Earth. The barrenness at the opening of the heavens, the chaos of the Age of Gods and Demons, and today’s changing of the sun and moon and the ordering of the seasons are all the result of evolution.

“‘Evolution’ is the law of the Great Tao, and everything follows this law.

“The opening of the heavens and the earth to the age of gods and demons was when the first evolution of this heaven and earth took place, but when it evolved toward the second stage ……….”

Hearing this, Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Fox looked at each other, realizing that the real main event had come.

The supervisor was whispering:

“And it failed.”

A series of question marks flashed through the two men’s minds, unable to comprehend them:

“Failed?”

The supervisor was nodding lightly:

“Because the heavens and earth are flawed and not complete, they are unable to go from chaos to order in excess. In other words, this world was supposed to come to an abrupt end in the chaotic and disorderly ancient times and has been maintained until now.”

The nine-tailed fox frowned in contemplation:

“Why is that.”

The supervisor was looking at the two men and asked:

“There is a lack in heaven and earth, where is the lack?”

After a brief pause, Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Fox’s pupils contracted and they breathed heavily, speaking in unison:

“Gods and demons?!”

The supervisor nodded:

“That’s right, gods and devils are born from the conception of heaven and earth and hold a portion of the laws of heaven and earth. Therefore, the Heavenly Dao of this world is incomplete, with a portion of the authority in the hands of the gods and devils. If you want to continue to evolve, you must recycle the Spiritual Embodiment and mend the defects.

“This is part of the truth of the first great tribulation.”

So this is the reason for the end of the gods and devils, no wonder the Underworld Silkworms said that on that day, the gods and devils suddenly went crazy and started killing each other, no wonder it was so difficult for Desolate to repair his spiritual embodiment, because the portion of spiritual embodiment that He had lost had already been returned to this side of heaven and earth ………. Xu Qi’an’s mind was filled with thoughts.

The end of the gods and devils, the original is because the earth and sky recycling spirit, repair itself ……….. The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox only felt that her mind was enlightened, and the doubts that still plagued her were answered.

But then more doubts welled up.

She was just about to open her mouth to inquire, when she heard Xu Qi’an say:

“Part of the truth?

“Also, do you mean that the gods and demons are affected by the laws of heaven and earth, their sanity is misplaced, they kill each other, and after death, their spiritual energy is returned to heaven and earth?”

When Xu Qi’an finished asking, the nine-tailed fox whispered an additional sentence:

“And what does this have to do with that door of light?”

The supervisor was wording for a moment and said:

“Your statement is not accurate, the Laws of Heaven and Earth would not act so proactively, they would not consciously influence the gods and devils to recover their spirit embodiment. The gods and devils kill each other for other reasons, which is why I said that recovering the spirit embodiment is only part of the truth.”

Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Fox simultaneously held their breaths and listened intently.

The Superintendent continued:

“As I said, evolution is the law of the Great Dao, and nothing can avoid it. There was a gap in the heavens and the earth, making it difficult for evolution to continue, and so, at the end of the Ancient Era, a “gate” appeared.

“It’s the same door that made all the gods and devils go crazy.”

Nine-tailed Fox subconsciously said:

“The door in God’s Demon Island.”

Xu Qi’an, on the other hand, looked obediently at the Supervisor’s Taiping Sword, which was being held across his lap.

What does this door symbolize? Why would it drive the gods and demons crazy? He had a premonition that what Supervisor Zheng said next was, he feared, the most crucial content.

The supervisor sighed:

“This door is the cohesion of the laws of heaven and earth, it is the concept of recycling spirit energy, and by passing through this door, the spirit energy will be able to rejoin heaven and earth and mend the brokenness. But this also means that by passing through this gate, one can touch the most central level of this heaven and earth.”

“The very core level?!” Xu Qi’an and the Nine-Tailed Fox’s hearts skipped a beat at the same time, inexplicably experiencing a sensation of quickened blood and a racing heartbeat.

The supervisor’s tone suddenly lowered, and he slowly said:

“You can understand it as becoming the master of this heaven and earth, becoming the …….. Heavenly Dao!”

Boom! As if there was a thunderbolt exploding in her mind, the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox lost her color, seemingly unable to accept such a turnaround, and said with a trembling voice:

“How is this possible ……..”

Supervisor Zheng said in a deep voice:

“The gods and devils are qualified to do so, for He Himself is the Laws of Heaven and Earth, or more accurately, it is the Laws of Heaven and Earth that give birth to consciousness and become living beings.

“When the Gate descended into the world, and heaven and earth recycled their spiritual energy, the confinement that had restricted the gods and demons opened, and they found that they could strengthen themselves by plundering each other’s spiritual energy, and that they could pass through the Gate, replace the unconscious laws of heaven and earth, and become the Way of Heaven.

“So they went mad, and the most brutal fight since the beginning of the world began.”

In this instant, countless auras flashed through Xu Qi’an’s mind, countless thoughts surged forth, and many details and clues were strung together in this moment:

No wonder the gods and demons can be transformed into islands after their deaths. They are part of the heaven and earth, and the opportunity for the laws of the heaven and earth to complete themselves can also be an opportunity for them to “complete” themselves and replace the laws of the heaven and earth.

I understand, I understand the true meaning of the prophecy left behind by the Prophet of the Celestial Compassion Ministry – when the Compassion God awakens, the world will be transformed into a world of compasses!

The true interpretation of this statement is that the Compassionate God will devour the Laws of Heaven and Earth and become the Heavenly Dao!

This world, then, becomes the world of compulsion.

No wonder Buddha became Aranta, and Aranta became Buddha, which meant that He possessed the same characteristics as the gods and devils in the beginning? Possessing the qualifications to compete for the Heavenly Dao?

It turns out that I have long known the true face of the great robbery, knowing the truth, it is still really fine ah ………. Xu Qi’an took a deep breath and said:

“Then why did the gods and demons fail?”

The superintendent was saying:

“Because the Gate had initially completed itself, it no longer needed the spirit, and the gods and devils were not able to push the Gate before it was completed, and the evolution of the heavens and the earth moved on to the next stage, so the gods and devils lost their qualifications to push it open.

“To this day, even if Desolate did push it away, it would be impossible to incarnate into the Heavenly Dao.

“As for what it’s good for, you’ll naturally know when the Peaceful Blade digests it.”

Xu Qi’an once again looked at the Taiping Blade while the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox asked:

“Supervisor Zheng, the Second Great Tribulation is also a fight for the Heavenly Dao?”

Xu Qi’an withdrew his gaze and looked at the supervisor.

The latter stroked his long beard and was silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, as he said:

“After the end of the Age of Gods and Demons, the evolution of the heavens and earth entered the third stage, and the world gradually came into order, giving birth to the aura, and the human and demon races rose up along the way.

“Although the First Cataclysm has ended, its effects are still being felt, and the appearance of the Gate of Light tells the surviving beings one thing – that the Heavenly Dao can be replaced.

“But unlike the Age of Gods and Demons, the only way for people in the later generations to become Heaven’s Way is to be promoted to Super Grade. But how to replace the Heavenly Dao after advancing to Super Grade? No one knew until many years later, when the Dao Zun appeared.

“This is a character whose qualifications can be ranked in the top three since the opening of the heavens.”

I wonder what will happen when a Dao Zun at his peak meets a Confucian Sage ……….. This thought flashed through Xu Qi’an’s mind.

It’s a shame that the two superpowers didn’t survive the same era.

Although the Buddha was the Human Sect’s detachment of the Daofather, he was obviously not considered a true Daofather.

“After the Dao Zun was promoted to the Super Grade, he began to grope for a way to replace the Heavenly Dao, and since he was crossing the river by touching the stones, he was bound to be prepared for failure, but the matter was so perilous that even he didn’t dare to say that he could surely come back in one piece.

“Thus, the art of transforming the Three Purities with one qi was born.”

When Xu Qi’an heard this, the many clues of the past came together in a flash, bringing about a warlike experience.

He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn’t interrupt, patiently listening to the Supervisor’s Zheng speak on.

“With reference to the old stories of gods and devils, the Dao honors have come to a solution; since gods and devils are created by the rules of heaven and earth, and therefore can replace the Heavenly Dao and become the Way of Heaven, why can’t the Human Race follow the example of gods and devils and turn themselves into a part of the laws of heaven and earth?”

The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox muttered just as Supervisor Zheng finished speaking:

“Heavenly Sect Heart Technique, Tai Shang Forgetfulness!”

The supervisor is nodding:

“That’s right, the Heavenly Sect’s Taishang Forgetfulness, the Unity of Heaven and Man, was originally a mind method created by the Daofather to emulate the gods and demons and replace the Heavenly Dao.”

The nine-tailed fox sighed:

“But He failed.”

The supervisor was shaking his head:

“He both succeeded and failed.

“The success lies in the fact that he did integrate into the Heavenly Dao and became part of the laws of Heaven and Earth, just as the gods and demons did back then.

“The failure lies in the fact that the heavens and earth have evolved to the third stage and have long since ceased to apply the set of gods and devils. He was transformed into a part of the laws of the heavens and earth as the gods and devils were back then.

“As the path of Taishang Oblivion does not work, the Daofather turned his attention to the Dao of Incense and Fire Divinity, which you can understand, right?”

Xu Qi’an exhaled, his tone low:

“The Incense and Fire Divine Dao refines the power of the mountains and rivers and the earth’s veins, and in his own land, he is invincible and immortal. The Dao believes that by refining the Nine States of Heaven and Earth, he will be able to replace the Heavenly Dao in such a way.”

Take Supervisor Zheng as an example, if Da Feng doesn’t die, he won’t be destroyed, and the ancient gods and demons of the desert can’t do anything to him.

So what if the whole of Kyushu was refined, wouldn’t that make it the Way of Heaven in a sense?

This is indeed a law worth trying.

The superintendent was saying:

“He used the Earth Sect’s detachment as a material to refine the Dharma Treasure Earth Book, with the Yuan Shen becoming the Artifact Spirit, and in order to make sure that the Earth Book would be able to carry the Heavenly Tribulation when it was born, he laid out a plan ahead of time and created the Earth Sect’s Heart Method, cultivating merit and virtue to increase his blessings as a means of counteracting the Heavenly Dao’s backlash. But unfortunately, although the Earth Book was refined, he was erased of his spirit and became a pure artifact spirit.”

“Why is this path wrong?” Nine-tailed Fox asked.

The Superintendent laughed:

“The original Daofather was probably just like you, not understanding why he failed. In fact, it’s not difficult to understand, which two words are at the core of the Incense and Fire Divine Path?”

Xu Qi’an slowly said:

“Incense.”

Supervisor Zheng said in a deep voice:

“Incense is both chi!

“The real core is the qi, he plundered the mountain and river seals and refined them into the earth book, trying to rule the nine states through the earth book, but he forgot how the mountain and river seals were formed.

“Later on, Dao Zun slowly figured out that if you want to replace the Heavenly Dao and become the Heavenly Dao, you have to accommodate the qi.

“The next thing you should know.”

Xu Qi’an let out a “hmm”:

“He usurped the throne and ascended to the throne, becoming the emperor of the earth and gathering qi fortune. As a result, I didn’t realize that those who have their qi fortune added to them shall not live forever.”

At the same time, Xu Qi’an couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, no wonder the three sects of “Heaven, Earth, and Humankind” were so problematic, because these three paths were wrong in the first place, and were the three failed attempts of the Daofather.

The supervisor nodded:

“Fortunately, this time, it was finally the right move, although there were deviations, but not to the point of no return. That human sect bilocation hung on to the cliff in time, shedding its old body and getting rid of the law of not being able to live forever.”

The Nine-tailed Skyfox glanced at Xu Qi’an:

“If those who have their qi fortune added are not allowed to live forever, why do the Sorcerer God and Buddha, and Desolate, still need to plunder qi fortune?”

Xu Qi’an shook his head:

“He is only plundering qi, not qi plus, the path of accommodating qi has already been tried by the Heavenly Father’s Human Sect Branches, and it doesn’t work. There’s only one thing I haven’t figured out.

“The only ones who can fiddle with chi are warlocks, even if they’re superpowers, they can’t possibly control abilities that don’t belong to their own system, right?”

Xu Qi’an first frowned, then his eyes lit up, “I see, by starting a sect, condensing the incense and fusing oneself and the sect into one, one can control the qi, yet not use the qi to add to one’s body. It’s essentially the same path as the incense and fire divine path.”

This is completely different from the Confucian system.

The practice of the Confucian system is to merge with qi.

Therefore, the Confucian sages did not escape the law of heaven and earth, which stipulates that they shall not live forever.

Of course, with the nature of the Confucian saint, he may not necessarily want to live forever.

It is because in the Confucian philosophy, the establishment of virtue, merit and speech are the three imperishables.

Non-lifespan.

Supervisor Zheng said, “Since the evolution of the heavens and earth, qi fortune is crucial; qi fortune is attributed to the Human Race, and the Human Race is the master of the Heaven and Earth of the Nine States. If the Supremes want to become the Heavenly Dao, they must plunder the Qi Luck. You can use your qi luck as a credential to become the Heavenly Dao.

“This is also the law of heaven and earth.”

Xu Qi’an’s complexion grew for a moment:

“So you’re training me to be a gatekeeper because I can’t live forever after getting my chi and lost the chance to compete for the Heavenly Dao?”

Nine-tailed Fox felt that this was the truth.

I am not sure that the supervisor is shaking his head:

“You were chosen to be the gatekeeper because you go by the martial system.”

Speaking here, Supervisor Zheng revealed a meaningful and incomparably teasing expression:

“I assume you’ve read the handwritten notes I left with the Sithin.”

Xu Qi’an was blessed to the core:

“That book on how to advance to half-step Martial God?”

The supervisor was gazing at him and laughing:

“Remember the first sentence of the opening paragraph.”

The heavenly system, jumping out of the three realms, is in the five elements. Only the martial artist, within the three realms, not in the five elements ………. Xu Qi’an mumbled and repeated a few times in his heart, and his body violently trembled as he dreamily said:

“So it is, so it is.”

He remembered how Song Qing had elucidated the phrase in the first place.

The Nine-Tailed Fox looked at Supervisor Zheng and then at Xu Qi’an, choosing to ask the latter:

“How?”

Xu Qi’an ignored her, and Supervisor Zheng laughed:

“All the major systems can borrow the power of heaven and earth and utilize the five elements, but the Wufu is the only one that does not interact with the outside world and creates its own heaven and earth. The Wufu system is the only system that will not replace the Heavenly Dao.”

The silver-haired Demoness couldn’t help but recall the words that Supervisor Zheng had said to Desolate in the Divine Demon Island:

Gatekeepers can only come out of the martial system.

“So that’s it ……..” She said in a daze.

At this time, Xu Qi’an pinched his brow and sighed dismally.

I thought that the Wushin could kill superpowers, and that the Wufu system was the strongest system among the major systems, but who would have thought that the Wushin was a doorman.

The entire world was insulting martial arts, and the laws of heaven and earth were also insulting martial arts!

After sputtering, he suddenly realized that he had been ignoring a crucial issue before:

“Since the Wulf exists to guard the gate, there must be a reason why the Superpin can’t become a Tendo, right?”

………

Aranta.

An immeasurable number of devotees sat cross-legged on the plains, hands folded, chanting and praying devoutly, with the sound of Brahman in the heavens and earth.

Beneath the Nine Heavens, a sacred and majestic Buddha’s light was cast down and shone on the peak of Mount Aranta.

A big golden sun slowly emerged from the top of the mountain.

This blazing sun emits a grand, majestic light that shines in every corner of this heaven and earth.

Immediately afterward, a figure sitting with lowered eyebrows emerged, and behind its head was a brilliant wheel of light symbolizing wisdom, the Great Wisdom Dharma.

After the two Dharma phases were condensed, there was no movement.

But along with the echoing sound of Brahma and the sound of prayers, a shattered gold-like light emerged from the devotees, dotted with stars, converging towards the peak of the Arantha Mountain.

These tiny bits of Buddha light, to the right of the Great Sun Wheel Dharma Phase, coalesced to form a Dharma Phase with a compassionate face, most benevolent and loving.

Then, more phantoms coalesced.

The Great Wheel of Fortune Dharma, the Dharma of the Unmovable King, the Dharma of Vajra, the Dharma of Colorless Glaze, the Dharma of the Walker, and the Dharma of the Medicine Master.

No one noticed that on the back of Aranta, a pair of eyelashless, huge eyes, slowly opened.

……….

PS: Push a book “Hello, 1983”, rebirth text, very nostalgic.
