But the difference is that other great figures are born divine, but Zhuang Zhou was born into the human race.
He is the incarnation of the powerful human race from ancient times.
The real name of that powerful human being has been lost because it was too long ago. The only thing that has been passed down now is his Taoist name.
Great Master Xuandu!
Yes, Zhuang Zhou is the incarnation of Master Xuandu. He is the direct disciple of Saint Taiqing and his only disciple. He is now in charge of the human religion on his behalf.
Not only is he a disciple of a saint, but he is also one of the few ancient human beings. Master Xuandu's status in the human race is self-evident, and he also belongs to the list of sages.
If such a person betrays the human race and chooses to stand on the opposite side of the human race, the blow to the human race will be self-evident, and it will greatly affect the morale of the human race.
It can be said that even if the Master of the Hall of Law and the Master of the Martial Hall betrayed the human race together, the impact would not be as great as the betrayal of the human race by the Archmage Xuandu.
When the demon clan slaughtered people, Master Xuandu pulled the tiger skin of Saint Taiqing, but he saved many people. Why is Shouyang Mountain known as one of the ancestral lands of the human race? It is because Shouyang Mountain protects
Many human races.
If you really want to search for your roots, you will find that about one-third of the ancestors of today's human race came from near Shouyang Mountain.
And these people all relied on the protection of Master Xuandu to escape the disaster.
In addition, despite the fact that Archmage Xuandu is usually not very famous, all the human race’s people who practice immortality are headed by him. He is the leader of the human race’s immortality.
Archmage Xuandu just keeps a low profile, but his influence on the human race is still very great. If he betrays the human race, it will almost shake the foundation of the human race.
It is true that martial arts is the foundation of the human race, but the immortal way is also the foundation of the human race. Ever since the Taiqing saint established the human religion and created the golden elixir cultivation method, the human race has always followed the immortal way and martial arts in parallel.
It's just that in the ancient times, the ancient martial arts was so popular that it completely overshadowed the immortal way, so that it had no existence.
But by the late ancient times, immortality, like martial arts, had become the foundation of the human race.
When the human race was weak, what they pursued was survival, so ancient martial arts came into being. But by the late ancient times, the human race had become the protagonists of the world and there was no longer a threat.
At this time, people's ideas changed. They no longer pursued powerful power, but began to pursue immortality. Naturally, the immortal way that allowed them to live forever developed and gradually became the mainstream.
Grand Master Xuandu is the leader of the human race's immortal path, and his position is not light. Although his status is not as good as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it has surpassed the human king, and he is the true top of the human race.
…
Jiang Chen spent a day wandering around Luoyang City, but did not see the Great Master Xuandu. In this regard, he was not in a hurry, but continued to wait patiently.
When the first ray of sunshine fell in the early morning of the next day, a purple mist suddenly filled the sky in the distance and stretched for more than three thousand miles.
Seeing this, Jiang Chen knew that the Great Master of Xuandu had arrived. Purple Qi came from the east. This was the sign of a saint. For the human race, wasn't the person who protected them during the great calamity a saint?
The Great Master of Xuandu is a sage of the human race!
Under the purple aura, a purple-robed Taoist came slowly riding on a green bull.
This person is the Great Master of Xuandu. He looks seventeen or eighteen years old, but his eyes are full of vicissitudes of life. His whole person exudes a mysterious aura, and he is always in harmony with heaven and earth.
The green bull he sat down on was not simple at all. It was an innate green bull, transformed by an innate sacred tree. The green bull was not a real bull, but the essence of the ancient tree leaked out and manifested into a green bull after it attained enlightenment.
form.
"I've met Master Xuandu!"
Jiang Chen walked forward and greeted Master Xuandu.
"The king is so polite." Master Xuandu walked towards Qing Niu and returned the courtesy to Jiang Chen.
"Everyone says that my senior brother is the first second-generation disciple of the Three Religions. Only now that I have met the Master do I know that the Master may not be weaker than my senior brother."
Jiang Chen praised Master Xuandu. This praise came completely from his heart. Because Master Xuandu, like Tathagata Buddha, has attained the perfection of quasi-sage cultivation.
This is remarkable. You must know that Taoist Duobao is not simple. His body is the Fenbao Rock outside Zixu Palace, which carries the destiny of most of the innate spiritual treasures in the ancient world.
Such a background naturally makes Taoist Duobao extraordinary, so it is normal for him to be able to ride on top of the world and reach a level far beyond his peers.
But Master Xuandu is different. He is a human race, an ordinary human race, and he is born with defects. In his era, he is the weakest creature.
If he couldn't practice martial arts without a congenital defect, why should he abandon the near and seek the distant and practice the immortal way?
It was such a frail creature who worshiped mountains and waters wherever he encountered, and his great perseverance moved Saint Taiqing to accept him as his direct disciple.
It is also such a creature who quietly attained the state of Quasi-Saint Dzogchen and became a rare master in the world.
Compared with Taoist Duobao, Master Xuandu's background is nothing, no more than a firefly compared to the sun and the moon, but even with such a huge gap, he has cultivated to a level comparable to that of Taoist Duobao.
This kind of talent is truly astonishing.
In terms of treatment, although Master Xuandu is the only disciple of Saint Taiqing, Taoist Duobao is said to be a disciple of Saint Shangqing, but he was taught by Sanqing in his early years, and he even listened to Taoist sermons. This
How can the treatment be comparable to that of Xuandu Archmage?
"The human king is ridiculous. Pindao is not as good as the human king. Moreover, Pindao's achievements today are all due to the help of human luck. Without the blessing of human luck, with Pindao's talent, can he achieve innate achievements today?
The realm of Taoist Master is between the two theories."
Master Xuandu smiled bitterly and shook his head. He was a member of his own family who knew his own affairs. His talent was really hard to describe. Apart from his strong perseverance, he had no other advantages.
As long as his talent is better, when he meets mountains and worships water, those with great supernatural powers will accept him as a disciple instead of letting him worship all the way to Shouyang Mountain.
At that time, he risked being kicked out of the master to protect his clansmen and bring the exiled clansmen one by one to Shouyang Mountain to avoid being hunted by the demon clan. It was this behavior that created the great Master Xuandu.
Today's glory.
Later generations were grateful for his kindness and regarded him as the leader of the human race's immortal way and as their ancestor. At first, there was no abnormality, but later, as the immortal way flourished in the human race, more and more human luck gathered in the Xuandu Archmage.
.
Naturally, his cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds. First he became the Great Luo Jinxian, then the Innate Taoist Master, and then the Quasi-Sage. Until now, he is already a Quasi-Sage Dzogchen level master, at the same level as Tathagata Buddha.
Well, Master Xuandu was also the first monk to become Daluo Jinxian first, and then to attain the innate Taoist status.
It can be said that Master Xuandu is where he is today because of the luck of the human race.
"Mage is too presumptuous. As the saying goes, good deeds lead to good results. Everything you get now, Mage, is what you deserve. If Mage hadn't protected our people and preserved our bloodline, how could we be where we are today?
"
Jiang Chen said.
One drink and one peck will determine the outcome. Master Xuandu protected the human race back then, purely out of friendship with his own clan. Who would have thought that in countless thousands of years, he would reach the realm of quasi-sage perfection because of this incident.
This is what good people get!
"Human King, I think you already know Pindao's purpose of coming here today." After chatting with Jiang Chen, Master Xuandu got down to business.
"The Master is here probably because of Nanhua's affairs. Nanhua Zhenren is the incarnation of the Master. He is one of the disciples of hundreds of schools and a Taoist sub-sage. His cultivation has reached the quasi-sage realm and he is one of the few masters in the world."
"Now, he is mixed up with Huang Jiao and others, and he wants to disrupt the foundation of our human race. It can be said that he has violated the taboo of our human race. I originally wanted to kill him, but thinking that he is the incarnation of a mage, I delayed it.
I didn't take action, but waited for the mage to come and ask about the reason."
"The Master has been in hiding for several kalpas. He could have stayed out of what happened now, so why did he have to get involved in it himself?"
Now that we are talking about business, Jiang Chen has to ask the Ming Xuandu Archmage about his position, whether he is on the side of the human race or on the side of the Xuanmen.
Jiang Chen didn't understand the thoughts of Archmage Xuandu. In a matter like this, he could have chosen to stay out of the matter and not help either.
No one will blame him for this. After all, everyone understands his difficulty. It is indeed difficult to make a choice between the race that gave birth to him and the school that cultivated him.
Staying out of the situation is the best choice. Similarly, during the war, whoever wants to kidnap the morals and force the Xuandu Archmage to take sides will have problems.
"You don't have to be confused, King. I am here today just to express my attitude to you."
"From now on, Zhuang Zhou is Zhuang Zhou and Nan Hua is Nan Hua. They are two people and belong to two different camps."
"Zhuang Zhou is a human race and will fight for the human race. Nan Hua is an immortal and will fight for the Xuanmen. The two of them will decide whether to live or die in this battle between the human race and the Xuanmen."
"And the person who survives will inherit the name of Xuandu and walk around the world."
Master Xuandu smiled and expressed his attitude to Jiang Chen. Zhuang Zhou is Zhuang Zhou, and Nan Hua is Nan Hua.
At first Jiang Chen didn't understand what he meant, but soon he understood what Master Xuandu meant and couldn't help but sigh: "Master, why is this so?"
"I'm tired!"
"Since ancient times, the relationship between the human race and Xuanmen has gradually deteriorated. Pindao has been in a struggle in his heart. He doesn't know whether he should help the human race or the Xuanmen."
"If you help Xuanmen, you are betraying the human race. If you help the human race, you are betraying the master. If we don't help each other, then won't the hard work that the master and the clan have put in to train me will be in vain?"
"In short, it is wrong to help, and it is wrong not to help. The two choices are like two sledgehammers, beating Pindao constantly, causing Pindao to be tortured in his heart."
"Today, Pindao has long been fed up. He is too tired. Taking this opportunity, it is time to end things."
Master Xuandu sighed. When he said this, you could clearly see the look of relief and relief on his face.
It can be seen that the hostility between Xuanmen and the human race in these years has really tortured his heart, and he cannot rest at peace for a moment.
Perhaps the reason why Master Xuandu is unable to achieve the realm of a great supernatural power is related to this.
My heart is always in struggle, and I can never find peace for a moment. How can I achieve a perfect state of mind, and how can I enter the realm of a person with great supernatural powers?
"Oh, the Master is right, it's time to make a decision."
Jiang Chen sighed, now that he had spoken, it was hard for him to persuade Master Xuandu.
Master Xuandu's meaning is very simple. He just split himself into two people, Zhuang Zhou and Nan Hua. Among them, Zhuang Zhou represents the human race and Nan Hua represents Xuanmen.
The two use their own methods to fight with heaven and earth as the battlefield. Only the victor can survive in the world with the name of Xuandu.
If Zhuang Zhou, who represents the human race, wins, then Master Xuandu is a master of the human race and has nothing to do with Xuanmen. On the contrary, if Nanhua, who represents Xuanmen, wins, then Xuandu is the true successor of Xuanmen and has nothing to do with the human race.
relation.
End it!
This is Master Xuandu’s method of ending the fight!
Since there are two identities, let them become two people and let them fight. Whoever wins will exist in that identity.
"Human King, whether Pindao can win the final victory depends on your methods. Now, Pindao will leave first and contain Nanhua for you."
After smiling and speaking to Jiang Chen, the great mage Xuandu, no, it should be Zhuang Zhou, said goodbye and left.
"Oh, what a troubled time!"
After Zhuang Zhou left, Jiang Chen only felt a headache.
It is said that two people are fighting, but they are transformed by the same person, they know each other thoroughly, and their mental methods are exactly the same. Even if they fight for millions of years, they will not be able to tell the difference between life and death.
In the end, what determines their life and death is the struggle between the forces behind them. The two of them wanted to distinguish between life and death, but they did not rely on the power of Xuanmen and the human race.
Because their strength is the same, but the strength of Xuanmen and the human race is different. When the two are superimposed, there will naturally be a gap between them, and at the same time, there is a possibility of winning or losing.
This is the meaning of Zhuang Zhou's last words. Whether he can win the final victory does not depend on himself, but on Jiang Chen.
"It's not a good feeling to be burdened with other people's expectations."
What Jiang Chen hates most is having to bear the expectations of others, because it is a burden to him and will bring him a lot of pressure. Unfortunately, in his position, he naturally has to bear the expectations of countless people.
, and cannot refuse.
The expectations of these people brought him unparalleled pressure, but it was also because of this that he could continue to make progress.
Pressure is motivation! Sometimes you don’t know how much potential you have if you don’t push yourself.
"Well, if we do this, Nanhua will have no choice but to die in the hands of Zhuang Zhou."
Jiang Chen was speechless. Originally, he could have stretched out his hand to crush Nan Hua to death, but now it was better. Because he had to fight Zhuang Zhou, only Zhuang Zhou could kill Nan Hua.
Killing him by himself would have no effect at all. As long as Xuan Bu dies, Nan Hua can be resurrected at any time. It will increase the difficulty for him invisibly, which is quite helpless.
"Huh? The smell here feels so familiar. Who is it?"
