A venerable person is one who controls a path, and can be said to be the supreme master of the path.
So how did His Holiness do it?
This question must be answered by Bai Tianzun, who has created many sages.
Bai Sitong said with a smile at this time: "Xiao Bai, to tell you the truth, all the venerable people in this world were actually created by me!"
With a mischievous look on his face, Jiang Sibai seemed to have foreseen how upset his old uncle would be if he could hear these words.
According to Jiang Sibai's understanding of his mother and uncle, his uncle definitely hates the Venerable's stuff, and only his mother would like it.
Sure enough, Bai Sitong then told what happened that year: "At that time, the laws of the world were constantly changing, and it was not easy for the creatures of that era to have a 'Tao Man' situation."
"Whether it's the Demon Ancestor, the Immortal Lord, or the Demon Lord, all of them have been troubled by the various changes made by that guy, Lao Hei."
"Ha, in that situation, the laws of Tao were constantly changing. Coupled with Lao Hei's behind-the-scenes operations, those cultivators were tortured to death."
Jiang Sibai was quite surprised when he heard this. The person who suffered the most emotional distress in the ancient times was actually Hei Tianzun.
When the laws of heaven and earth were constantly evolving and had not yet been fully formed, Bai Sitong chose to let things go and do nothing to let the world evolve on its own.
Hei Tianzun, on the other hand, is constantly making adjustments, but seems to be constantly making trouble.
The roles of these two deities seem to be constantly reversed, like yin and yang fish that are constantly changing.
Bai Sitong continued: "Back then, I just saw that guy Lao Hei tossing around all day long and it was too troublesome, so I simply thought of a way to nail down the five rules."
She covered her mouth and laughed as she spoke: "You don't know how funny Lao Hei's expression was when I nailed these five rules."
Jiang Sibai asked unexpectedly: "What five rules are those?"
Bai Sitong said: "In the beginning, it was Xiaolong's wood and Xiaofeng's fire. Those two demon ancestors from later generations nailed wood and fire."
"Then the guy Piaomiao heard about it and was very jealous, so he also came to me, so I gave him an idea and nailed the water."
"But I didn't expect Demon Lord to have such a strong ability. He deceived Piaomiao into using this method, and then nailed Tu to death."
"The last one is the god who took another path. He is the latest to achieve enlightenment and the last one I created before falling asleep. What he crucified was gold."
Jiang Sibai said blankly: "Isn't this the Five Elements?!"
Bai Sitong said: "Yes, it is because these five laws are the most stable that they can become the foundation for the development of this world. Otherwise, how do you think this world has entered a stable stage?"
Jiang Sibai was greatly shocked when he heard this. He had always thought that Baitian Zun was a person who made trouble for Heitian Zun, but he did not expect that he would also take huge credit for the stability of this world.
He even felt that compared to Hei Tianzun who was constantly trying to adjust the laws of the world, it would take a long time for this world to reach such stability.
However, to crucify a law like this is equivalent to snatching a share of authority from the hands of Tianzun. No wonder the old uncle dislikes those five sages so much.
Jiang Sibai asked: "Mom, how did the five venerables achieve their goals?"
Bai Sitong said: "It's very simple. First of all, there must be a treasure that is outstanding enough to carry the way of that person. It can be called the 'treasure of enlightenment'."
Jiang Sibai nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He had heard of this kind of thing. If a true immortal wants to start enlightenment, doesn't it mean that he needs to refine such a treasure of enlightenment?
Bai Sitong said pointedly: "It doesn't just need to carry your Tao, it also needs a treasure that can carry the entire complete law of heaven and earth!"
Jiang Sibai hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Can the Juntian Sword and the Houtu Sword be achieved?"
Bai Sitong shook his head and said: "That itself is the authority that can affect the laws. It is a symbol of you becoming the Emperor and Queen of Heaven, but it is not a treasure that can carry the way of Heaven."
"For such treasures, a heaven-appraisal mirror is sufficient. Your guilt stele is barely adequate now. The book on earth is excellent, and Ling Ding'er's Hell Picture Scroll is also adequate."
After being counted by his mother, Jiang Sibai realized that he already had so many qualified magic weapons.
He thought of something and said: "What about the Human Emperor Sword?"
Bai Sitong said: "The Human Emperor Sword used to be a supreme treasure for killing, but now it is a supreme treasure for humanity. Of course it can be used now, but the cause and effect is too great."
Jiang Sibai nodded again after hearing this, thinking that this was the right thing to do.
And Bai Sitong said: "If the Supreme Treasure carries a law, and then adds its own insights to nail it into the long river of law, it can replace the original source of the long river of law and completely nail it."
Jiang Sibai thought again of the source land he had been to. That world was simply full of ripples of various laws.
It was also there that I saw Heitianzun for the first time. He seemed to be influencing the operation of the world at the source.
Bai Sitong said: "Yes, if we want to change the laws of this world, we will make adjustments at the source. And using the treasure to nail a law is equivalent to cutting off the influence of the source of the law on this law.
"
Jiang Sibai asked in surprise: "But doesn't this mean that I have completely offended my uncle and my mother? Is this an offense to the power of the Heavenly Lord?"
Bai Sitong said: "To a certain extent, yes, but that's because I'm protecting them!"
"In addition, Lao Hei also feels that doing so is actually better for the world, so he acquiesces to their existence."
"But Lao Hei's ability to tolerate them planting flags in the river of law is already the limit."
When Jiang Sibai heard this, he couldn't help but ask one more question: "Mom, it sounds like you and your uncle can actually knock those five sages into dust at any time as long as you and your uncle are willing?"
Bai Sitong nodded and said, "Of course, but we won't do that kind of thing to bully juniors."
Jiang Sibai was greatly moved when he heard this, and his temper suddenly became strong.
It turns out that the so-called venerable ones actually have to "bow down and be humble" in front of the Heavenly Lord.
So to put it this way, true immortality is indeed the pinnacle of spiritual practice.
This is a manifestation of raising one's own cultivation and mind to the limit, and the next so-called cultivation of the laws of heaven is the "blessing" from heaven and earth, which is actually a "borrowed" power.
Jiang Sibai began to hesitate and asked, "Mom, this doesn't sound like a serious promotion route. Are there any hidden dangers?"
Bai Sitong said: "If we talk about hidden dangers, it is that once you achieve venerable status through this method, it is equivalent to losing both prosperity and loss to the world."
"This world is immortal. They can certainly come back from the 'flags' left behind by laws and regulations, but once this world dies, their current power will also quickly decline."
"This is the gain and loss."
"Don't think this is anything. After all, they are all creatures born in this world. They have achieved immortality in this world, so naturally they have to do something for this world."
Jiang Sibai understood that these venerables had actually become the ‘high-level tools’ of the two deities!
At this time, after thinking over and over again, he asked: "Mom, do you want Lingdang'er and I to nail down any laws?"
There is no reluctance, just awareness.
After all, Bai Sitong has said before that only by giving up can you gain.
He has gained so much in this world, so of course he has to give something.
And he believed that his mother would not really let him suffer.
