"Thank you, Master, for the advice. I will think about it carefully." Thanks to Sage Shangqing's guidance, the fog in Jiang Chen's path has cleared, and there are no more obstacles.
All he has to do now is make a choice, choose the path he wants to take next, and go on it unswervingly.
"Master, my doubts have been resolved. I will not disturb you here anymore. I will return to the Three Realms to welcome the upcoming great tribulation."
When Jiang Chen came to Jin'ao Island this time, he gained far more than he imagined. He was already very satisfied. He wanted nothing more in his heart and just wanted to go back and deal with the upcoming big trouble. Therefore, he had the idea of leaving.
Seeing Jiang Chen was about to leave, Sage Shangqing suddenly stopped him and said, "Yu Dou, please wait, I have something for you to do."
Saying that, the Sage of Shangqing stood up, took off the Qingping Sword hanging next to the cloud bed, held it in his hand, and handed it to Jiang Chen.
"Yu Dou, my master doesn't like Tathagata Buddha, and I don't want to see him in the three realms. Today I will hand over the Qingping Sword to you. If Tathagata Buddha comes to look for you, you can kill him with this sword."
I have something to worry about for my teacher."
The Sage of the Shangqing Dynasty said it very casually, as if what he was talking about was not killing the Tathagata Buddha, but a cat or a dog. Also, in front of his old man, wasn't the Tathagata Buddha just a cat or a dog?
"Yes, Master!"
"If Tathagata Buddha appears, my disciples will try their best to kill him and make him disappear completely between heaven and earth..."
Although the Sage of Shangqing did not say it clearly, Jiang Chen still understood what he meant. What he said was to kill the Tathagata Buddha, not the Taoist Duobao. This shows that in his heart, he does not admit that the Tathagata Buddha is the Duobao Taoist.
Bao Taoist.
Everything that Tathagata Buddha experienced can be said to be a dream of Taoist Duobao, or it can be said to be a tribulation he must go through. He sank in the dream and lost himself in the tribulation.
But now, the Sage of Shangqing gave Jiang Chen the Qingping Sword and asked him to kill Tathagata Buddha. The purpose was to awaken Taoist Duobao. When Tathagata Buddha died, the dream was broken, and the disaster ended. Taoist Duobao
It will return to its original appearance and reappear in the wilderness.
However, Taoist Duobao's dream, although it is a dream, has an intersection with reality and has a huge cause and effect with the West. Since it is cause and effect, it must be repaid.
How to repay it? Of course, I would repay it with death!
Tathagata Buddha was born for Buddhism, so he would naturally die for Buddhism. Hundreds of years later, when the calamity of Journey to the West breaks out, Tathagata Buddha will inevitably reappear in the world to fight Jiang Chen, and this battle will also determine the future of Buddhism.
Tathagata Buddha wins, Buddhism returns to his control, the journey to the west will be led by him, and everything will be back on track.
If Jiang Chen wins, Buddhism will completely fall into his hands. The future journey to the west will also be arranged by him. All the previous plans made by Tathagata Buddha and others will be used as a wedding dress for Jiang Chen.
If Tathagata Buddha wins, Jiang Chen may not fall.
But if Jiang Chen wins, Tathagata Buddha will definitely fall and die fighting for Buddhism. Living for Buddhism and dying for Buddhism, the life of Tathagata Buddha is so magnificent!
And his death also announced that all the connections between Taoist Duobao and Buddhism had disappeared, and there was no more Tathagata Buddha in the world.
He was originally illusory and unreal. With his fall, the dream was shattered, Taoist Duobao woke up, and everything became a passing cloud.
Tathagata Buddha is the life experienced by Duobao Taoist in his dream.
Taiqing Saint arranged it like this from the beginning. Otherwise, could he really send Duobao Taoist to the West? If he really wanted to do this, it would inevitably attract criticism from the entire Xuanmen and shake Taiqing Saint Xuanmen.
The status of senior brother.
You must know that the identity of Taoist Duobao is not ordinary. He is not only the chief disciple of Sage Shangqing, but also the first disciple of the third generation of Xuanmen. He is even remotely related to Taoist Hongjun.
The true form of Taoist Duobao was the Fenbao Rock outside the Zixiao Palace. After the treasures on it were taken away, the Sage of Shangqing had a keen eye and felt that the Fenbao Rock was also a treasure, so he stepped forward to take it away.
After Fen Baoyan left the chaos outside the sky and came to the prehistoric world, he absorbed the spiritual energy of the world and suddenly gave birth to spiritual wisdom. The Sage of Shangqing was delighted when he saw it and accepted him as a disciple on the spot.
I don't know how many innate spiritual treasures the Taoist ancestors placed on Fenbao Rock back then, but they were all taken away by the three thousand mortal guests of Zixiao Palace.
After taking the treasure from the Fenbao Rock, it naturally formed a cause and effect with the Fenbao Rock. At the same time, it formed a cause and effect with so many people with great supernatural powers. There is no need to say more about the extraordinary nature of the Duobao Taoist.
Why is it that among the countless disciples of the three religions, only Taoist Duobao achieved the realm of the Innate Taoist Master during the Emperor's era? It is because he is so extraordinary that he is favored by the entire world.
If Saint Taiqing gave such a person to the West, wouldn't it mean that he would directly offend most of the great supernatural beings in the East? Saint Taiqing, such a smart person, would never do such a stupid thing, so he had been kept there for a long time.
A backup plan was used to prevent Taoist Duobao from being abducted to the West.
It has been almost one calamity since the Conferred God Measuring Tribulation, and it’s time for Taoist Duobao to return.
Therefore, the Sage of Shangqing gave the Qingping Sword to Jiang Chen and asked him to kill Tathagata Buddha with the sword, firstly to send him to liberation, and secondly to help Duobao return.
"Disciple is gone!" Putting away the Qingping Sword, Jiang Chen said goodbye, then transformed into a rainbow light and flew towards the outside of Jin'ao Island.
"Hey, what a troubled time!"
"This disciple is really more troublesome than the other."
After Jiang Chen left, the Sage of Shangqing shook his head first, and then pointed his swords towards the Antarctic Star in the endless starry sky below. Suddenly, outside the Antarctic Star, an invisible barrier shattered, and the connection with the outside world was restored again.
.
"kindness?"
"South Pole Star!"
At the moment when the barrier was shattered, on the other side of the chaos outside the sky, in the Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but open his eyes and looked doubtfully in the direction of the South Pole Star.
"What is the third brother going to do? Why did he suddenly let go of the restrictions on Antarctica?"
Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but have some doubts. Back then, he and Sage Shangqing had a grudge, so they took action against each other and sealed the Antarctic Star so that no one could get in. But now, Sage Shangqing suddenly took action and shattered this restriction.
What is it for?
While confused, Yuanshi Tianzun saw a figure coming from the chaos outside the sky and flying straight towards the South Pole Star.
"It's him, Yudou, why is he going to Antarctica?"
But it was said that after Jiang Chen left Jin'ao Island, he discerned the direction in the chaos outside, and then flew towards the boundless starry sky.
Now that he has the guarantee from the Sage of Supreme Purity, the first thing Jiang Chen has to do is to take away the innate star maps from the South Pole Star and the Lunar Star so that he can raise an innate treasure to protect himself.
Returning to the boundless starry sky, Jiang Chen thought about it and decided to go to the Antarctic Star first. After getting the Antarctic Star Map, it would not be too late to go to the Lunar Star.
Ever since he found out that Xi He was living in seclusion on the Taiyin Star, Jiang Chen subconsciously rejected it and didn't want to get close to it. At the same time, he was also extremely afraid of it.
This is not to say that Jiang Chen is afraid, but that he was possessed by Xi He's magical power and instinctively developed a dislike and fear of the Taiyin Star, so he did not want to get close to it.
It's not that Jiang Chen didn't know that he was possessed by Xi He's magical power, but because of this, he didn't want to get close to the Taiyin Star. It's a very simple logic. If he really didn't welcome him, how could Xi He use his magical power on him and prohibit him from using it?
Is he approaching the Lunar Star?
Knowing that people hate you, but still taking the initiative to step forward, isn't this just looking for trouble?
"Hiss, when you go to the Taiyin Star to get the Lunar Star Map, you must go as fast as you can. You must not stay too long." When passing by the Taiyin Star, Jiang Chen hurriedly didn't even take a look there.
's left.
In the south of the boundless starry sky, surrounded by countless star debris, an extremely huge star is blooming with bright blue light, illuminating the dim starry sky.
This is the South Pole Star, one of the five supreme stars in the prehistoric times
"What a rich vitality. It is richer than the vitality contained in the ancient sky. It is indeed a star that symbolizes vitality."
As soon as he approached the Antarctic Star, Jiang Chen felt a strong sense of vitality rushing towards his face, which lifted his spirits a lot.
The Antarctic Star, also known as the longevity star, governs vitality. Therefore, the Antarctic Emperor is also called the Antarctic Immortal Emperor.
"Hey, being born in such a place, Antarctic Immortal Old Man's skills are profound, but it's a pity that he was born in the wrong era. It's not a good time to be born, but he was born in the era when the demon clan was at its peak. If not,
With his background, how could he have fallen to this level?"
"If he had been born before the ancient times, he would at least be a powerful person by now."
To be honest, Jiang Chen felt that the Antarctic Immortal was quite unlucky, mainly because he was born in the wrong era. In the ancient times, there were only five supreme stars, and the Antarctic Star was one of them.
As an innate star god conceived by the Antarctic Star, it is easy to imagine that the Antarctic Immortal's origin is extremely noble and extraordinary. In the boundless starry sky, his status is second only to the three in heaven, Emperor Jun Taiyi Xihe.
If he is given enough time to practice and grow, his future will not be comparable to that of Emperor Jun Taiyi, but it will not be too different. At least, he can reach the level of Kunpeng Ancestor.
It's a pity that the Antarctic fairy was born too late.
By the time he was born, the demon clan had already been established. He, the Antarctic Star God, was simply a thorn in the demon clan's side. If he continued to stay in the boundless starry sky, he would suddenly fall.
Therefore, the Antarctic Immortal ran away. And by running away, he also ruined his future, and this time he lived a wandering life.
"Choices are very important in life. If the Antarctic Immortal had not chosen to run away, but had chosen to take refuge in the demon clan, his future would have been very different."
Shaking his head, Jiang Chen no longer thought about the Antarctic Immortal, but stepped into the Antarctic Star. The Antarctic Immortal was a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun. It was not Jiang Chen's turn to worry about his future. Yuanshi Tianzun
He will arrange everything himself.
On the Antarctic Star, the energy of life is everywhere, it can be said to be endless, flowing everywhere, mighty, forming a storm of life. However, in a place with such a rich life, looking around, it can't be seen here.
Any sign of life.
The end of life is death. It is precisely because the energy of life here is so strong that it is difficult for this place to breed life, and it has become a real life paradise.
Things must be reversed when they reach their extremes, that's how it is.
The deeper you go, the richer the life energy around you is, and the greater the vitality it contains. When Jiang Chen reaches the depths of the Antarctic Star, the quality of the vitality filled here is so high that it is almost comparable to the origin of life. With his
My cultivation level also felt great benefits.
Going deeper, Jiang Chen gradually came to the core of the Antarctic Star. Here, the vitality had become so intense that it was extremely terrifying. Even Jiang Chen couldn't help but frown, feeling a hint of danger.
The vitality here is really too strong. It envelopes Jiang Chen and wants to assimilate him and become a part of this place.
At this time, Jiang Chen finally understood why there was no life on the Antarctic Star. A long, long time ago, there may have been life here, but as time went by, it was assimilated by the vitality that pervaded the place.
"The sun is shining, rise!"
Jiang Chen activated the Sun Gou Chen Diagram, manifesting the shadows of the Gou Cheng Star and the Sun Star on the left and right, pushing away the surrounding vitality, and continued to move forward.
The star map trembled, as if it had made contact with the Sun Star and Gouchen Star, and it unleashed endless power to protect Jiang Chen and reach the true core of the Antarctic Star, a mysterious space.
"Is this an innate spiritual treasure?"
"No, that's not right, this breath is a bit like an innate treasure."
"So it turns out that it is that treasure. The luck of this disciple, Third Brother, is really amazing. He was able to find this treasure."
"It's a pity that although he is destined to have this innate treasure, he cannot obtain it for the time being."
In Yuxu Palace, after Yuanshi Tianzun saw Jiang Chen offering sacrifices to the sun, he made some deductions and understood everything. Immediately, he shook his head, suddenly stretched out a finger, and pointed towards the Antarctic below.
Go to the stars.
"For the sake of my third brother, I'll stop you for a while."
The moment Yuanshi Tianzun's voice fell, an inexplicable force quietly emerged in the core space of the Antarctic Star, and disappeared into the Antarctic Star Map.
Jiang Chen knew nothing about this and was walking towards here with excitement, preparing to take away the Antarctic Star Map.
At this moment, in the chaos outside the sky, in the Shangqing Temple, the face of Sage Shangqing suddenly changed and became extremely ugly.
"Yuanshi Tianzun, you are going too far!"
With a loud shout, Sage Shangqing suddenly stood up, casually drew out an innate divine sword, and wanted to kill Yuxu Palace.
But at this moment, an old voice came from far away: "Third brother, second brother has shown mercy. If it wasn't for your sake, Yu Dou would definitely not have gotten that star map. And
It’s not like it is now, it’s just that the Antarctic star map was sealed for a period of sixty years.”
"A period is only sixty years, and it will pass in the blink of an eye. It will not affect his ability to survive the calamity of Journey to the West."
"The success or failure of this Xuanmen plan is still open to debate, but as Xuanmen saints, we cannot waver in our position. We will not say we will help them, but we cannot hold them back from behind."
The voice of Saint Taiqing echoed, like a basin of cold water poured on the head, extinguishing the anger of Saint Shangqing.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, Sage Shangqing put away the innate divine sword in his hand, turned around and returned to Shangqing Temple, sulking secretly.
Sage Taiqing was right. Now the Xuanmen plan was about to be launched. They knew that Jiang Chen would be the biggest obstacle, but they didn't secretly ruin Jiang Chen's opportunity. It was for the sake of Sage Shangqing, so how could they let him go?
Become bigger and get the innate treasure?
For the sake of Sage Shangqing, they will not touch this innate treasure, which still belongs to Jiang Chen. However, before the Xuanmen plan is completed, the innate treasure of the Sun, Moon and Star Diagram cannot appear in the world.
"Hey, Yudou, Xuanmen's plan is very important. I can't help you with this matter. You can only rely on yourself. However, for my sake, no matter what the outcome is, I can always save your life.
No worries.”
Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiqing Sage appeared at the same time, which made Shangqing Sage realize that he could not help Jiang Chen in this matter. He already had enough face, and if he was still dissatisfied, he would not be able to help Jiang Chen.
That's a good thing.
The innate star map is among the stars. If the saint is willing, he can take it away before Jiang Chen, so that he will never be able to collect the innate star map.
…
…………
Jiang Chen stepped into the core space of the Antarctic Star. Under the resonance of the Gou Chen Star Chart and the Sun Star Chart, the void here began to tremble inexplicably. Immediately, a ray of clear light appeared from the void and turned into a pair of clear stars.
The picture fell into Jiang Chen's hands.
Although the Antarctic Star Chart and the Gouchen Star Chart are not as good as the Sun Star Chart, they are still the best innate spiritual treasures.
"What a treasure!"
With a word of praise, Jiang Chen offered the Antarctic Star Chart and wanted to integrate it into the Sun Overlay Chart.
But at this moment, a strange aura suddenly erupted from the Antarctic Star Chart. An unspeakable mystery stood in front of the Star Chart, preventing the three major Star Charts from merging.
"This breath is a bit familiar, like the jade fairy light?"
After silently sensing for a while, Jiang Chen's expression gradually changed. He discovered that the aura lingering on the Antarctic star map actually came from Yuanshi Tianzun. He had dealt with the disciples of the Chan Cult, and he would never admit the aura of Yuanshi Tianzun.
Just like this.
"Did Yuanshi Tianzun take action? He didn't want me to get the Antarctic Star Map? But that's wrong. If he really didn't want me to get the Antarctic Star Map, he could just take the treasure away. Why bother setting up a seal?
"
Jiang Chen couldn't understand Yuanshi Tianzun's purpose for a while, so he couldn't help frowning and thinking deeply. It was at this time that Sage Shangqing manifested a secret of heaven and let him know the reason.
"I see. I was afraid that my power would increase greatly after obtaining the innate treasure, which would directly ruin Xuanmen's plan, so I temporarily banned the Antarctic Star Chart so that it cannot be integrated with other star charts."
Jiang Chen was a little helpless. He could not destroy the saint's handiwork. In other words, he could not obtain this innate treasure, the Sun, Moon and Stars Chart for the time being.
However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Jiang Chen. Above the Antarctic star map, the bright jade fairy light is lingering, emitting a boundless atmosphere, mysterious and unpredictable, and it seems that there is a great road contained in it.
