Before coming to the Sword Tomb ruins, Zhang Yan's speculations about this place focused on the word "Sword Tomb". After all, there are the legendary four killing swords of the void, the first sword formation in the great world, the Immortal Killing Sword Formation, and the gimmick is that it is full of them.
Full of it. I feel like this should be a huge cemetery related to swords.
But now I realize that this place has nothing to do with the cemetery, nor does it have much to do with the "sword" itself. The focus is actually on the word "relics".
The "relics" here are not simply the remains of an ancient battlefield. Instead, Zhang Yan found many unusual clues that were obviously left behind by humans. But were these clues exactly as he had guessed?
That points to the direction in which the prehistoric world is leaving, which is hard to say.
Perhaps the reason why the word "sword" is placed in the ruins of the Sword Tomb is because of the ubiquitous wandering sword intentions. However, in Zhang Yan's view, these sword intentions should be a lead, leading to the "meaning of one way".
An introduction to special-level methods. Of course, there is also a flavor of screening and hiding in it.
If it weren't for Zhang Yan's unusual skills, he would never have been able to reach the center of this sword pit with his current cultivation level in the early stage of Immortal Realm.
But there is a huge stone monument standing in the center of the ruins left by a fierce killing in the ancient war? No need to guess, this stone monument must have been erected here after the war. Just like those golden fragments.
Zhang Yan's "intent" adhered to his hand, even if it was only a very weak layer, it was like fire and grease, naturally in conflict with each other, and Zhang Yan's hand passed through the barrier in one go. Then he repeated the same trick, "
After "meaning" covered his whole body, Zhang Yan successfully approached the stone tablet. On the dark stone tablet in front of him, after he crossed the barrier, golden inscriptions that had never been seen before appeared on the surface of the tablet.
The text is still in seal script, and each stroke is like a sword intention suddenly appearing in front of my eyes. Just looking at it gives me a dazzling discomfort. I quickly focused my "intent" on my eyes, and this feeling was
A slight improvement would at least allow Zhang Yan to continue reading without losing his eyesight.
"Those of the Three Religions, the tripod of heaven and earth's creatures, accumulate the essence of the Six Paths and carry out exploration..."
The first three words on the stone tablet raised my attention to the highest level.
Three religions? This almost nailed most of his previous guesses about the ruins of the Sword Tomb. He was right. It was indeed a super war between the three religions.
"The three religions originally came from the same source and should be one, but their ideas conflicted and cracks gradually developed. Later, they argued endlessly due to the dispute over destiny. Each one has its own intensifying trend...
Of all the difficulties in the world, the most difficult are the matters of living beings.
...... A bit of luck, but I didn't expect it to be biased. When the catastrophe comes, luck will be destroyed. Those without luck can only earn it on their own, but there is no way to avoid it. And my teacher is exploited, and the situation is
Tiny and difficult to break free from.
I originally wanted to be patient and survive the disaster, and use the many elites in the teaching to offset the lack of luck, and then make plans after surviving. But unexpectedly, people are unpredictable, and they want to use one of the three legs to annex and eliminate them.
Watching the disciples in the sect being bullied, everyone is filled with indignation. The only way is to stand up and fight, even if the luck is different, we will never sit still and wait for death..."
The words in the inscription were full of evil. Even if there was a slight "meaning" to offset it, Zhang Yan's eyes and soul could not bear to look at it for a long time. There were more than ten thousand words in the inscription, and he took five breaks to read it all.
"I teach" appears many times in the inscription. In addition, the content reveals "weak power" and "unfair treatment", as well as the sign with the word "Tong" when entering this place. Zhang Yan is sure that the inscription
From an extremely powerful man in the legend of the great world:
Saint, reach the sky!
In fact, Zhang Yan did not take the story about Saint Tongtian seriously before this. The reason is that there is no such person as Tongtian among the Three Pure Ones worshiped by the Taoist sect. In the legend, Tongtian is the junior brother of two of the Three Pure Ones, as well as Hong.
One of Zu's disciples.
The relationship was in a mess. There were many contradictions. In addition, the context of Tongtian was never mentioned in Taoist books, which indirectly made Zhang Yan not take the story involved seriously.
It wasn't until he heard about the ruins of the Sword Tomb and saw the inscription that Zhang Yan understood that Tongtian Sage existed, at least he had existed. However, it was not recorded in Taoist books.
Why is this?
Perhaps the grief, anger and determination revealed between the lines in the inscription can answer Zhang Yan's doubts, which can be summarized in two words: religious struggle.
Renjiao, Jiejiao and Chanjiao are the three teachings.
Saint Tongtian lives in Jiejiao, and he is the leader. And Saint Tongtian’s two senior brothers are Laozi, a saint of human religion, and Yuan, a saint of Chanjiao.
Where did the dispute between the three religions come from? The inscription mentioned "the dispute over luck" and did not elaborate further. But Zhang Yan knew clearly that the so-called luck here did not actually refer to the luck of the three religions, but the luck of each of the three religions.
It refers to the luck of the human world in the great world.
Although the human world is not overbearing, it is the largest and most complex of the six realms. It is also the one where luck is entangled the most and variables occur most frequently.
Just like Mingyue Valley wants to benefit from Zhang Yan's luck, the three religions also hope to use the luck of the human world to strengthen themselves. The so-called following the trend.
But luck is not a big pie that can be divided equally. Who has more and who has less depends on the means. The winner takes all is the norm.
The characteristic of Jiejiao is that "there is no distinction between teachings". In Tongtian's eyes, all creatures in the world, whether they are humans, animals, flying insects or weeds, are actually the same. As long as spiritual intelligence is opened, and as long as one has a heart for the Tao, then anyone can join the religion.
Practice together. Apart from practice, the main thing is to follow your heart.
Chanjiao and Renjiao are different. They have clearer missionary thresholds and strict teachings that need to be followed.
As time went by, differences and even contradictions began to appear in the styles of conduct and practice concepts between the Jiejiao and Renchan sects.
However, Jie Jiao has many disciples, so he has the most disciples, and there are many masters among them. Among the three religions, Jie Jiao ranks first based on the strength of his disciples, and rarely suffers losses.
But a good man cannot withstand a large number of people. No matter how powerful he is alone, he can't compare to attacking in groups. Especially when facing the changes in human destiny.
Should we stabilize the old trend and continue to replace it, or should we promote new trends and replace the old trend? This becomes the key.
Jiejiao had borrowed the luck of the old trend long before, so it was natural to choose to stabilize the old trend and continue to replace it. However, if the People's Education and Chanjiao join forces to break Jiejiao's opportunity, they can only push new forces to replace the old trend.
.
Then fierce conflicts began.
There is another big thing and a trap involved.
The big event was the "Great Tribulation" mentioned in the inscription. The trap was that Saint Tongtian was plotted by his two senior brothers and suffered a huge loss in dealing with the calamity.
The two things should not interfere with each other. However, in order to control the general trend of Yingjie, Renjiao and Chanjiao conveniently won the battle over fate. Suddenly, they completely disrupted the rhythm that the Saint Tongtian could control. Who did they evolve into in the end?
A battle with no way out.
The place where Zhang Yan is now is the decisive battle of this war.
