Chapter 658 Yuanshi Tianzun: Where is your heart towards the Tao?
Meng Qi couldn't help feeling suffocated. He felt very sorry for Teacher Yuanshi, whom he had never met before. If Teacher Yuanshi hadn't chosen him as the target of reduction, it would have been impossible for him to escape from the control of the Demon Buddha.
But at the same time, he must admit that Teacher Yuanshi is to some extent the same type of person as the Demon Buddha, who "will do whatever it takes" for the sake of Taoism and fruition.
If it hadn't been for the appearance of Senior Brother Shen Ye, Yuxu Palace would have been in dire straits the moment the Golden Emperor returned. Teacher Yuanshi would not have taken action for Yuxu Palace.
For most people on the other side, indifference and detachment are their natural instincts.
"How should I choose?" Meng Qi's mind was covered with dust, and he recalled the questions he had thought about when he was in the reincarnation space.
What should you do if the Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation gives you a task that goes against your true intentions, such as killing your father, killing your mother, or abandoning your relatives and friends?
And the problem he faces now is even more serious. On one side are all the sentient beings in the world who have nothing to do with each other, and on the other side are the sect masters who care about him.
Should he kill his relatives out of justice, or obey his teacher's orders?
Seeing the two of them struggling, Guangchengzi sighed: "It seems that you have already made your choice, so just let me bear all this."
Just as Guangchengzi was about to turn around and leave, Meng Qi sighed from behind him: "Brother Guangcheng, I'm sorry, I can't let you go."
Guangchengzi's face turned cold: "You yourself disobeyed Master's order and you are not allowing me to go?"
"If you can just sit back and watch and feel at ease, it is no different from stabbing someone to kill and saying: 'It's not me, it's a soldier.'" Meng Qi stood up, "I really don't understand, why must we be detached? Why must we have to be detached?" Chasing the Tao Fruit? Is it worth sacrificing countless lives for an elusive answer?"
Guangchengzi said indifferently: "I don't know this. I only know that the teacher is very kind to me. Even if I die, I must fulfill the teacher's wishes."
Yang Jian also stood up: "If the teacher makes a mistake, shouldn't the disciple point it out?"
"Teacher can't be wrong, the world can only be wrong." Guangchengzi held Fan Tianyin in his hand, "Come on, if you want to stop me, come and defeat me."
boom!
Three streams of light rushed out of Yuxu Palace and started fighting above Kunlun.
The disciples of Yuxu who saw this scene were all at a loss. What happened?
Nezha flew out in a hurry and tried to stop him: "Uncle Guangcheng, Uncle Headmaster, Yang Jian, please stop!"
Red sperm also flew out: "Senior brother Guangcheng, what are you doing?"
Although their realm is not as good as the other side, they can still see that Meng Qi and Yang Jian are giving in at every turn.
Guangchengzi snorted coldly: "The two of them violated the teacher's decree. Do you also want to betray the teacher?"
"Ah? Isn't the master missing?" Nezha asked.
"Although the teacher has escaped from the world, he is not unable to deliver messages." Guangchengzi said coldly.
"What is the teacher's decree?" Aka Seiko noticed the problem.
"Destroy the world and free the moral master from the shackles of the foundation of existence." Guangchengzi did not hide it.
"What? Destroy the world!" All the Yuxu disciples were immediately confused and understood the dilemma that Meng Qi and Yang Jian were in.
"If you have any questions, please sit down and talk to us first. Don't fight among us." Chi Jingzhi dissuaded.
Guangchengzi looked indifferent and did not respond, but he sighed secretly in his heart. He did not dare to stop, because he was afraid that he would question the teacher if he stopped.
At this moment, two Buddhas came, namely Maitreya and the Buddha of the World, the two existing Buddhas from the other side.
"Mercy, mercy." Maitreya chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.
"Maitreya, you have come just in time to destroy the world with me." Guangchengzi did not care about Maitreya's obstruction thousands of years ago.
However, Maitreya smiled slightly: "Fellow Taoist Guangchengzi, I'm here to stop you."
"Stop me?" Guangchengzi was stunned, "You don't want to rescue the ancient Bodhi Buddha and lead the Buddha?"
"Why should we save? Isn't it bad to maintain the status quo?" Maitreya smiled and said, "I have no ambition to achieve Tao and Fruit, and the Holy Emperor has a broad mind and has never suppressed Buddhism. Why should we fight to the death for the illusory Tao and Fruit?"
At this moment, another person from the other side appeared, it was Zhen Yuanzi.
Guangchengzi asked: "Are you here to stop me too?"
"Yes, I also think it's good to maintain the status quo." Zhen Yuanzi said calmly.
He took refuge in Wusheng Old Mother just to find support for him to break through to the other side. Now that he has broken through to the other side, why should he succumb to others?
Immediately afterwards, everyone from the other side of the Holy Court, as well as the Demon Emperor and the Great Sage Qitian, also arrived.
Guangchengzi crossed the other side of the Holy Court, looked at the Demon Emperor, and asked numbly: "Demon Emperor, are you here to stop me too?"
"Of course it is, and I don't want to change the status quo."
Guangchengzi couldn't help but feel confused. No one on the other side of the world supported him. Even the Buddhists and demons who were once enemies of the Holy Court were on the side of the Holy Court. Was he really wrong?
"You will get more help if you are in good ways, but you will get less if you are unfaithful. Don't you understand, Senior Brother Guangcheng?" Meng Qi persuaded him earnestly.
Guangchengzi was silent for a long time and sighed: "I don't care anymore, you go and talk to the teacher."
The world was shaken violently, and an ancient Taoist figure that could not be described in words came from outside time and space, with an indifferent tone: "You all think I am wrong?"
This is Yuanshi Tianzun, the oldest and most powerful other shore in all the heavens and worlds. Just standing there makes all the other shores nervous.
If it hadn't been for the Holy Emperor to cross the eternity, the oldest person would not be able to go back to the beginning of the world. Even if there were more people on the other side, they would not be able to fight against this ancient existence.
Meng Qi took a deep breath, stepped forward and said: "I don't want to stop Teacher Yuanshi, but there is not only one path to Tao and fruition, why should it be at the expense of all heavens and worlds?"
Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "The birth and death of Tao are the numbers of heaven. The Holy Emperor goes against the number of heaven. I am just punishing you on behalf of heaven."
"Teacher Yuanshi, why do you want to trick me? The number of days is just the will of the person on the other side."
"The number of days I am talking about is the higher origin above the heavens and the worlds. Allowing the heavens and the worlds to expand infinitely is just wishful thinking of the Holy Emperor. His approach will only cause the complete destruction of the heavens and the worlds.
, there won’t even be one in the next era.”
"What?" Meng Qi was suddenly startled. Are there other heavens besides the heavens?
Si Ming sneered: "Master knows more about heaven than you do."
Qingdi also said: "This era is the end of the world. It is not certain whether there will be another era after the end. Rather than leaving my hope in the illusory future, I choose to follow the Holy Emperor and be respected in this life."
All the people on the other side nodded silently. The end of the world was dangerous, and even the other side was in danger of falling. Without pursuing the Tao Fruit, maintaining the status quo was the best for them.
You already have endless life and supreme status, so why take risks for something that is just a dream?
Yuanshi Tianzun also fell silent. Although there are many other shores born in later generations, why are they all content with the status quo? No one is willing to pursue the Taoist fruit. Where is their heart towards the Tao?
Shouldn't it be enough to hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening?
