The infinite sea of spirits is boundless and misty. Under the reflection of the sea of stars in the sky, it looks very strange and confusing.
Such a scene is really heart-warming.
On the Guantou Cliff by the sea, one emperor and one ancestor confront each other, standing and looking at each other. Their aura is not obvious, but their aura is everywhere. The encounter like heaven and earth either builds a stable and peaceful new world, or creates a new world that is stable and peaceful. The two collided and destroyed the world.
The second Confucian Patriarch Eguan, with his Immortal Wind Taoist Bones, pointed his finger at the place where Xu Wenzhi was sitting just now, and said with a smile: "Di Chen, please!"
Regardless of whether the person coming is kind or not, Zhang Ruochen has no reason to be timid.
He stepped over.
Chi Yao wanted to go with Zhang Ruochen, but Zhang Ruochen just raised his hand slightly, and she stayed where she was.
The reason is very simple. The Second Confucian Patriarch's ability to enter the Wuding Divine Sea silently is a manifestation of his absolute cultivation.
Any divine formation, including Zhang Ruochen's perception, was useless to him.
In other words, if the Second Confucian Patriarch wanted to assassinate Zhang Ruochen, he had every chance to avoid the formation and inflict heavy damage on him before Zhang Ruochen activated the Victory Crown and the Grand Master's 27th Heavenly World.
This is the horror of the ancestor of spiritual power!
Even with Zhang Ruochen's current level of cultivation, it is quite dangerous to walk into an area arranged in advance by the Second Confucian Patriarch, and he is very likely to fall inside.
The Second Confucian Patriarch himself was good at formations, and the "Celestial and Human Chess Formation" suppressed the Dark Lord for who knows how many years.
Leaving Chi Yao outside means leaving a backup force.
Facing the ancestor, who dares not to pay full attention to it?
The Second Confucian Patriarch may not take action, but Zhang Ruochen has to prevent him from taking action, and he must have the ability to deal with it even if he does.
Within ten steps of entering the Second Confucian Patriarch, Zhang Ruochen clearly felt the order and spiritual force field in the space.
It's like walking into another world, a world completely created by the other party.
Next, every time Zhang Ruochen took a step, the invisible chains on his body would multiply, dragging him outward and preventing him from approaching the seat opposite the Second Confucian Patriarch.
There is no doubt that this is the Second Confucian Patriarch testing his strength.
If he couldn't even reach that seat, he would naturally not be qualified to sit on an equal footing with the second Confucian Patriarch.
As for Xu Wenzhi, it was because of his chess skills that he got into that position.
Zhang Ruochen's steps were smooth and balanced, as if he didn't encounter any obstacles. He just came to the opposite side of the chess table and sat down as a matter of course.
"I am very happy that Di Chen is called the Second Confucian Patriarch instead of the Eternal Prime Minister. I wanted to visit the Origin Temple later, but I didn't expect to meet him in this way."
The Second Confucian Patriarch smiled sincerely, but he always maintained the proud posture of a Confucian and Taoist master. This is the charm of standing on the top of Lingjue overlooking the mountains all year round.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I have been waiting for Confucian Ancestor, but I have not taken the initiative to visit the Eternal Heaven. Does Confucian Ancestor know why this is?"
The Second Confucian Patriarch had a strange look in his eyes and shook his head.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Because, I want to know, as the ancestor who left the Kunlun world, when will he return to his hometown to take a look?"
The Second Confucian Patriarch did not expect that a junior would be so powerful, not afraid of his identity as the ancestor, and not in awe of the power of the ancestor. He had just sat down and was trying to seize the initiative in the conversation.
Whoever seizes the initiative will naturally appear stronger.
Zhang Ruochen's attitude is superficial. He will not be obedient to him like the younger generations, nor will he be intimidated by the ancestor's cultivation.
The Second Confucian Patriarch said: "I heard that Di Chen's vision is that the sea is open to all rivers and encompasses all things, but he seems to attach great importance to his homeland. Isn't the entire universe our homeland?"
Zhang Ruochen praised: "He is worthy of being the ancestor of Confucianism and Taoism. He has a broad mind and an eye on the world. I am not as good as him!"
The Second Confucian Patriarch knew that there was something in Zhang Ruochen's words, and said: "Di Chen, there is no need to be sarcastic. The Kunlun Realm is my original place, and I have a unique feeling in my heart."
Zhang Ruochen secretly praised the Second Confucian Patriarch for his greatness. He said it so straightforwardly, which not only reflected his sincerity and lack of shyness, but also reflected Zhang Ruochen's narrow-mindedness.
Because those who are magnanimous in heart disdain cynicism.
After Zhang Ruochen vented his dissatisfaction with the second Confucian Patriarch, he put away his thoughts and said with a normal heart: "Confucian Patriarch finally came back. It should be more than just playing a game of chess and walking an ancient road in the original place. It's as simple as that."
Bar?"
The sea breeze kept blowing, and the Second Confucian Patriarch became even more immortal, as if he was about to ride away in the wind.
He said cautiously: "I don't want to get involved in the internal affairs of the Sword Realm, but it concerns the Ming Ancestor, so I have to remind Yi Er Jiu Tian that it cannot be the Ming Ancestor."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "Why?"
"Because, I have met Ancestor Ming." The Second Confucian Patriarch said.
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked.
Xu Wenzhi and Xu Tingting had a good impression of the Second Confucian Patriarch because he helped Jiutian rehabilitate him. After all, they had suffered too much injustice over the years because of this matter.
The Second Confucian Ancestor continued: "I can't remember how many years ago it was. It must have been at least five million years! It was during the siege of the Dark Lord in another time and space that the Underworld Ancestor took action."
Zhang Ruochen said: "He showed up?"
The Second Confucian Patriarch nodded and said: "He showed up!"
"What does His true form look like?"
"No one knows what his true body looks like." The Second Confucian Patriarch said: "The Ming Ancestor has thousands of faces and appearances, which can be transformed at will. He is not limited to a single physical appearance at all. His state of mind should have been separated from the appearance.
Being free from restraints, doing whatever you want, all five aggregates are empty, this is the supreme attitude of Buddhism."
A look of disappointment appeared in Zhang Ruochen's eyes, and then his eyes shone brightly, and he asked with great interest: "I once saw the words left by Confucian Ancestor in the inner world of the Treasure Book of Ten Thousand Beasts. On it, Confucian Ancestor mentioned the Ancestor of Humanity,
It makes me feel so confused. I wonder if Confucian Master can help me clear up my doubts today?"
The Second Confucian Patriarch glanced at Yinghuo, twisted his beard and said with a smile: "I went to the Immortal Vampire Clan and brought her along with the Treasure Book of Ten Thousand Beasts. I also had a merciless request. I wonder if Di Chen can bring Ten Thousand Beasts to him?"
Can we learn from each other’s treasures?”
If the Second Confucian Patriarch can visit it in person, the Treasure Book of Ten Thousand Beasts will definitely be of great use.
However, it is definitely not difficult to seize the Treasure Book of Ten Thousand Beasts from Yinghuo. There is no need for the Second Confucian Patriarch to come forward. Any third-generation disciple of Eternal Heaven can do it.
Why is this?
"The purpose of Second Confucian Ancestor going to the Immortal Vampire Clan was probably to meet Grandpa in person. Grandpa was able to defeat Thunder Lord, and the strength and future potential he showed were enough to attract the attention of the First Ancestor. What's more, the Ice Emperor and the Immortal God of War
, none of them are ordinary people.”
Zhang Ruochen thought this in his mind and said: "The Treasure Book of Ten Thousand Beasts was originally the property of the Confucian ancestors, and now it has been returned to its original owner!"
"Things in this world belong to this world, so how can they have an owner? Whoever gets it first is the owner?" The second Confucian Patriarch shook his head and said: "Whoever can get it and hold it firmly is the owner.
.”
Although the second Confucian ancestor was a Confucian cultivator, he entered Taoism through chess. His heart was not to cultivate his moral character, but to fight against heaven and earth, against others, and against himself.
For chess players, winning or losing comes first.
Otherwise there would be no need to play chess!
Zhang Ruochen said: "Confucian Ancestor thinks that I have secured this treasure guide of all beasts?"
"At least no one dares to take it easily." The Second Confucian Patriarch said.
"Confucian ancestors don't dare?"
"It's not that I don't dare, it's just that I am the ancestor of Confucianism and Taoism, and the eternal slaughterer has to face it after all. If you can take it in a decent way, there is no need to make a mess of chicken feathers."
Zhang Ruochen did not expect that the second Confucian ancestor would be so straightforward.
Of course, the Second Confucian Patriarch was also telling Zhang Ruochen that he was not just a corrupt Confucian. The reason why he did not take it by force was because he could take it decently, not that there was no option of taking it by force.
Zhang Ruochen said: "In this case, I will give you the Treasure Book of Ten Thousand Beasts and Confucian Ancestor will help me answer my questions. Wouldn't everyone be happy?"
"There is no difference between borrowing and giving." The Second Confucian Patriarch nodded and said, "Why don't you ask me what I am doing by borrowing the Treasure Book of Ten Thousand Beasts?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Don't ask, I'm not interested."
The Second Confucian Patriarch laughed loudly, his voice as loud as thunder, and said: "I have thousands of words waiting to be said, but you rejected them in advance. I feel really unhappy. Okay, okay!"
After a while, the Second Confucian Ancestor sat upright and said: "The Dark Lord, like the Underworld Ancestor, is an immortal source of disaster in the universe. From ancient times to the present, in order to prolong life, he has swallowed up countless prosperous civilizations and beasts.
And nourish yourself.”
"He is the ancestor of time and space, crossing the long river of time, coming from the ancient times, and wants to clean up the source of disaster for future generations."
"You are also a fellow practitioner of the two paths of time and space. You should know that only those who have cultivated time and space to the highest level can transcend the past and present and intervene in the past and present.
"It is extremely difficult for other monks, no matter how high their cultivation level is, to reach the level of the ancestors. If they venture to the future, they will most likely be killed by the Dark Lord and the Underworld Ancestor in the future."
"So, although the ancestors can transcend time and travel to the past and the future, they often dare not do so. The ancestors are invincible in the world, but when they enter the long river of time, they often end up miserable, and there is no return."
"Human ancestors have peerless cultivation and are not inferior to the nine great ancestral witches. However, in the future, they will also be subject to the backlash of time and the suppression of the rules of heaven and earth. It is difficult to suppress the two major sources of disaster alone. Therefore, I chose the old man when I was young.
Cultivate as a helper.”
After thinking about it, the Second Confucian Ancestor said again: "Human Ancestor should have fought against the two major sources of disaster many times in the long river of time, and also trained helpers many times. However, they all ended in failure in the end!"
"Both the Underworld Ancestor and the Dark Lord are heroes that are rare in the ages. Their strength is not inferior to that of the Human Ancestor. And it is extremely difficult for the Ancestor to cultivate an ancestor-level helper. Maybe he will be defeated by the Ancestor of the Underworld and the Dark Lord along the way.
Killed and died young."
"It can be said that in that battle that year, if the Dark Ancestor hadn't taken action, I and the Ancestor alone might not have been able to dismember the Dark Lord."
Zhang Ruochen thought thoughtfully and said: "Since it is so difficult to win, why does the God Realm release the Dark Lord's black hand?"
"This time, that time."
The Second Confucian Ancestor did not hesitate and said: "After many years of destruction, the Dark Lord has become difficult to achieve. However, the Dark Ancestor faction is growing day by day. The Dark Ancestor has even cultivated ancestors like Corpse Nightmare, and there are even nine-headed stone men like this
The potential threat of the God Realm alone is already difficult to contend with. We can only release the black hand and use the hatred between the Dark Lord and the Underworld Ancestor to create a new balanced pattern and buy more time for your rise."
Zhang Ruochen raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Is it because of me?"
The Second Confucian Patriarch responded with an affirmative look and said: "The long river of time was cut off by the Ming Ancestor. The human ancestors and the ancient witch ancestors were unable to come to this world. In these years, I can only barely balance the Ming Ancestor faction."
"Fortunately, the Ming Ancestor was severely injured by the ancient witch ancestors brought by the Great Lord, and was further traumatized by the twenty-four heavens. Otherwise, it would be impossible for me to prevent the small catastrophe at the end of the Middle Ages with my own power."
"I spend most of my time sleeping in the God Realm. Even so, my life span is not long. I just hope that I can hold on until the day you step into the Ancestral Realm."
"With your first-grade divine way, your future achievements will definitely be higher than those of me and the Great Master. It will not be difficult to clean up the Ming Ancestor faction and restore purity to the world."
Zhang Ruochen frowned and said: "What Confucius means is that the only big disaster in the world is the Ming Ancestor?"
"The Corpse Nightmare, the Hongmeng Black Dragon, and the Dark Lord can all be called the scourge of the ancestors. However, with your cultivation speed, catching up with them and surpassing them is a matter of time. But the Underworld Ancestor is different, he is the real
There is an existence that is difficult to overcome. Even if I have the spiritual power to prove the ancestor of Taoism, I can only see it in the fog, cannot see through it, cannot touch it, and feel fear in my heart." The second Confucian Patriarch said.
What a high praise it is to be able to make an ancestor say "there is fear in his heart"?
It's like the mountain that Mingzu cannot climb.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Since Confucian Ancestor has said everything today and regards this emperor as the hope of cleaning up the Ming Ancestor faction in the future, I boldly ask! Is there no immortality behind the divine world?"
The Second Confucian Patriarch narrowed his eyes and said, "What are you referring to? Are you referring to me?"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head.
"It turns out that this is where Di Chen's prejudice against the divine world and the eternal heaven comes from." The second Confucian Patriarch understood clearly and said: "The divine realm is the ancestral realm left by human ancestors, and there are indeed many mysteries that are difficult to understand. However,
That’s all!”
"I have to remind you that in the battle 80,000 years ago, Di Chen captured the Ming Kingdom and placed it in Guixu, but the Ming Ancestor faction did not take any action. This is unreasonable."
Zhang Ruochen asked: "How does Confucianism think it should be explained?"
"There is only one explanation. The Ancestor of the Underworld is in the Wuding Divine Sea, or in Guixu. Therefore, for him, the Kingdom of the Underworld is not lost at all." The Second Confucian Patriarch said.
There was no emotion on Zhang Ruochen's face. He stood up and bowed to the second Confucian ancestor.
The second Confucian Patriarch had a look of surprise on his face and said, "What does Di Chen mean by this? Just because I reminded you?"
"Not because of this! It's because, in the long river of time, Confucian Ancestor saved me once. No matter what Confucian Ancestor's purpose is, at least now, I have to pay this respect." Zhang Ruochen said.
Back when Zhang Ruochen went to the ancient times to practice the first-level Shinto, the Second Confucian Patriarch took action in his time and blocked Zhang Ruochen from the attack of the Soul-Eating Lantern.
