In the troubled times of the ten directions, the Martial Saint in the world!

"Time is as ruthless as a knife, and years are as cruel as a blade. In the course of time, there are always frustrated people. Even the Primordial Heavenly Venerable cannot be perfect." There was a hint of emotion in Qiu's words.

Han asked curiously, "Speaking of which year did Yuanshi Tianzun attain the Dao of the Ancient One? For some reason, I always feel that my memory is vague and ambiguous."

The young man smiled gently and said softly, "The ancient war took place one hundred and ninety-five years ago. Because the war affected the universe, many great masters died, countless stars returned to silence, all living things were annihilated, and billions of lives turned into scorched earth. The old man Tianzun was kind-hearted and could not bear to see all living things suffer such a catastrophe, so he used his supreme supernatural power to go back to the long river and reverse the flow of time, allowing us to return to the present world and erasing many years of war! Therefore, when we think of the past, our memories will be incomplete and vague."

It turned out to be the case.

Han nodded slightly as if thinking about something.

Qiu pondered and said, "What about the restoration of the human network?"

"At that time, our human race was under attack, and the situation was imminent. The Great Celestial Venerable used the virtual space of the Ten Thousand Worlds as a sacrifice, transforming the network of human beings into the power of countless beings, thereby creating endless incense and gods to protect the Tang Dynasty and the human race. After the Great Celestial Venerable proved the ancient way, he fell into a deep sleep for nearly 150 years, until more than ten years ago, when he slowly woke up. He authorized the current Human Emperor, and the Tang Empire began to reweave the network of human beings and restore the virtual space of the Ten Thousand Worlds." There was a bit of helplessness in the young man's words, "The Human Emperor's order has therefore been invalid for nearly a hundred years!"

Outside Yuxu Palace, a figure slowly knelt down.

It is the ancient Maitreya Buddha of Buddhism.

In his hand, he held an ancient bright lamp and said with great respect: "I am Maitreya, a poor monk, and I am here by the order of the ancient Buddha Bodhi to present the palace lamp of Vulture Peak to the Heavenly Venerable."

The moment the words fell, the bright light disappeared.

Deep in the void, billions of starlight lines burst out and infinite black and white converge.

The ancient Maitreya Buddha slowly raised his head, and what came into view was an ancient and weathered glass lamp.

It is an ancient lamp with indescribable colors that are beyond the world's cognition. It is also an ancient lamp that is extremely wild and filled with the meaning of time. It is an ancient lamp that embraces the eight sufferings of the world and contains the source of all grudges and entanglements in the myriad things in the world, such as birth, old age, sickness and death, hatred and separation, love and hate, and failure to obtain. It is also an ancient lamp that illuminates everything and has insight into all things.

The lights are dim, like the beginning and source of all things.

“The cause of all results, the source of all things”

Such thoughts emerged in the mind of the ancient Buddha Maitreya.

He looked at the ancient lamp rising slowly and landing in the palm of Chen Xiu, the [Original Heavenly Venerable] of the time. He felt it was extremely profound and mysterious. He immediately bowed his head and worshiped it with great respect.

"Thank you for your hard work in bringing me this ancient lamp." Chen Xiu said gently.

The ancient Buddha Maitreya clasped his hands together, speaking with only respect and great obedience, "I, the humble monk, would like to congratulate the Heavenly Venerable for attaining the ancient Dao, achieving the supreme Dao fruit, and completely completing his merits and deeds!"

At this time, a cold and gentle voice sounded: "Thank you for your help. Please ask the ancient Buddha to tell Bodhi that Chen Xiu is very grateful to Him."

"The words of the Heavenly Lord must be conveyed."

Maitreya Buddha heaved a sigh of relief and immediately stood up to say goodbye, but a lofty and vast voice rang in his ears: "I have never heard that you made a grand wish, saying that the supreme wish is 'not to save sentient beings, not to seek the future, but to fight for the present'! At that time, I enlightened you. I wonder what the ancient Buddha thinks of your previous wish today?"

Upon hearing this, the ancient Buddha Maitreya felt a little more uneasy.

He didn't understand why the ancient one who sat high above the Ninth Heaven, the current Primordial Heavenly Venerable, would mention this matter, and he felt quite uneasy for a moment.

According to the instructions of the ancient Buddha Bodhi, the purpose of his trip to Yuxu Palace was to hand over the ancient lamp of the ancient Buddha Dipankara to Yuanshi Tianzun, to hand over all the causes and effects to this ancient man, to temporarily resolve the grievances between Buddhism and Taoism, which was an act of great kindness.

Everything in this trip is to resolve the hatred of Chen Xiu, who helped the underworld and blocked the way in the ancient war.

Now that the goal has been achieved, it is reasonable and logical for us to return.

Who would have thought that this contemporary Primordial Heavenly Master would actually take the initiative to talk about this matter.

Is He blaming me, or questioning me, or is there some other meaning?

In an instant, thousands of thoughts and ideas emerged in the mind of Maitreya Buddha.

Even so, He still maintained a naive smile, leaned forward with great respect and responded: "I dare not forget the guidance of the Heavenly Venerable in the past, and I have always kept it in my heart. I often think about it and gain a lot!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was surrounded by billions of golden lights, and he said indifferently: "The ancient Buddha has something in his mind, I wonder if you can share it with me."

The ancient Buddha Maitreya said slowly: "Even though all sentient beings have not been saved, the Pure Land still exists, and the Buddha's kingdom is still safe. I seek the ancient path within, not outside, so don't be too anxious."

"It's good that you know." Chen Xiu spoke slowly, his voice unfathomable.

The ancient Buddha Maitreya clasped his hands together, appearing to be extremely respectful, and said slowly: "Before this, I was too eager to step into the ancient times and achieve the realm of Taoism. To the extent that I forgot my original intention of establishing the Pure Land of Buddhism in the past. Thanks to the enlightenment of the former Heavenly Venerable, I was able to understand it."

"My Pure Land is to save sentient beings from the sea of ​​suffering! I seek the fruit of the Tao and long to prove the ancient truth in order to save sentient beings, not just to prove the ancient truth and save sentient beings!"

Chen Xiu nodded slightly and said softly: "Your great wish is to 'not seek the future', not 'not prove the ancient'. Now you are still a long way to go before you can condense the Dao fruit and prove the ancient Dao. If your state of mind changes at this moment and you are no longer the 'Ancient Maitreya Buddha' you once were, then your road to prove the Dao will come to an end."

"Ancient Buddha Bodhi gave me the glass lamp of the ancient Buddha Dipankara, which made my way of karma completely complete and replaced the world's way of karma with my way of karma. Today, I return the favor by enlightening you, which is considered to be a repayment of his kindness. You, take care of yourself."

The ancient Buddha Maitreya bowed and said with great respect: "Thank you very much for your guidance."

At this moment, he still had a lot of confusion in his heart: Why would Chen Xiu, the original heavenly master of the time, take the initiative to give him advice? Could it be that he was intentionally helping him to prove the ancient Dao and condense the Dao fruit? But why did he help him? There were many people in Yuxu Palace who were capable of proving the Dao.

The thoughts are deep and the doubts are endless.

But no further words were heard in the Yuxu Palace. The ancient Buddha Maitreya knew that this was all he had to say today, so he bowed his head again.

Then, he said goodbye honestly and left, returning to the Pure Land of Buddhism!
Looking at the receding figure of the ancient Maitreya Buddha, all the heavens and worlds were evolving in Chen Xiu's pupils.

He raised his hand lightly and held it in the air.

At this moment, endless Hou Tu Xuan Huang's power gathered together, and the [Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag] condensed in his palm again.

"Brother, you are practicing in the netherworld, this item will help you."

As he spoke, Chen Xiu relaxed his hands slightly.

[Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag] fell to the earth, pierced through the boundless universe and sea of ​​stars, and dissolved into the Nine Netherworld Yama World.

Billions of golden lotuses blossomed, and the flag landed beside Yang Jian who was trying to break through the life and death barrier, and instantly took root in the world of life and death.

Boundless golden light burst out, completely protecting Yang Jian's figure.

"The war is over, and all the heavens are at peace. It's time to refine this thing again."

Chen Xiu muttered softly, and a long river of fantasy, both illusory and real, surged in his palms.

Many lines of cause and effect then manifested in the void and once again fell upon the heavens and myriad worlds. The tower that once symbolized the network of human beings once again stood above the Divine Capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The waves are sparkling and illusory, and many human emperors have emerged over the years, returning to their original appearance.

Everything seems to have not changed!
"Time is ruthless and years are like a knife! A hundred years of time, for practitioners like us, may be just a fleeting moment in the blink of an eye. But for people in the mortal world, it is a lifetime for many people. I hope they can withstand it. After all, I had no choice back then!" Chen Xiu spoke softly, with helplessness in his words.

In the territory of the human race, between luxurious mansions, a white-haired old man sat on a cloud bed with a calm expression, telling his family descendants the true meaning of martial arts in the "Martial God Canon". At this time, a brilliant light burst out from his arms, and a vast breath spread, as if it was a giant dragon that had been silent for a long time.

At this moment, the old man who was like an immortal in the eyes of many young people was completely stunned.

He stretched out his hand tremblingly, reached into his arms very carefully, and took out a golden token.

With his perfect Dharmakaya realm and the strength of a martial arts immortal, his hands were shaking violently and uncontrollably, which was enough to reveal his inner excitement.

"Grandpa, what is this?"

Many of the younger generations seemed extremely curious.

There were many memories in the old man's eyes, and he said softly: "This is the past of my great grandfather."

Several younger generations looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

At this time, they saw clearly what was in the old man's hand.

It was a golden token engraved with a real dragon and many mysterious and ancient patterns. It was brilliant and sacred, and it was bursting with brilliance at this moment.

"The Emperor's Order?"

"Can it be used again?"

The old man took a deep breath, raised his hand tremblingly, tapped lightly, and immersed his soul in it.

In an instant, many scenes that haunted him appeared in his eyes, just as they had happened in the past.

A hundred years have passed, and many things here remain the same as they were back then.

"Jianghu Teahouse, Wanjie Mall, Virtual Martial Arts Conference, Zhutian News, Wanjie Forum, and Martial Arts Exchange Conference."

The old man's voice was trembling.

Everything is so familiar and yet so strange.

In the blink of an eye, one hundred and seventy years have passed, and everything seems the same as before!

At this time, a "beeping" sound was heard.

The old man looked in the direction of the sound and saw an extremely pretty girl.

Many characters flashed and gentle words rang in his ears, as if at this moment he traveled through time and returned to the past.

"What should we do? The Humanity Network is about to be shut down, and the Myriad Worlds Virtual Space will also be shut down, and the time of reopening is unknown."

"We had planned to meet after the New Year, but now that's not possible."

"How about this, I'll go to the Izumo Star Region to find you."

"We have arrived at the Izumo Star Region, but I heard that your family has moved away from the Izumo Star Region and headed to the East China Sea of ​​the Tang Dynasty."

"I finally arrived at the East China Sea. Is this really the sea? How can it be so big? It feels like a new world."

"I have been looking for you for fifteen years, but I still can't find any news about you."

"Do you think we can meet again?"

"I hope we can meet again."

A lot of news appeared in the old man's eyes, some of which were more than ten days apart, and some of which were several years apart.

But they were all issued within the past 170 years.

And it was only now that he received it and saw it for the first time!
"no no!"

After reading the news, the old man's vision blurred instantly, tears flowed down his cheeks, and he seemed quite at a loss.

At this moment, his hands were shaking violently and he was crying like a child.

One hundred and seventy years ago, he found the lover with whom he planned to be with for the rest of his life. However, on the eve of the appointment, the Human Emperor's Order became completely invalid, and the virtual space of all realms also completely collapsed. The two could no longer communicate with each other, and they have been separated from each other ever since.

The elders in the family were afraid of the flames of the ancient war and worried about being affected, so they chose to migrate their family to the East China Sea world outside the former human imperial city.

Before leaving, he left behind many letters and signposts, hoping to be discovered.

After arriving at the East China Sea, he not only sent tens of thousands of letters, but also tried to contact the other party according to the address left by the other party.

But all this fell on deaf ears, and the news was completely cut off, and they were separated from each other.

Thinking of how this figure had traveled across the sea of ​​stars in search of him over the past hundred years, the old man's tears became more obvious.

He immediately asked: "Where are you? I have become a god, I will go to find you immediately!"

His hands were shaking as he asked the question.

This was his first reply after one hundred and seventy years.

At this moment, the other party's portrait appeared, the old man's heartbeat instantly accelerated, and many expectations burst out in his eyes.

Information emerges:

"Hello, is this Grandpa Chen? I am the granddaughter of Grandmaster Wang, who passed away ten years ago. She did not attain the Dharmakaya, and her life span has run out! She gave this to me, and I look forward to replying to your message one day."

Sit, sit and become.
The old man's heart completely fell to the bottom. His eyes dimmed in an instant. He staggered to the ground and asked slowly, "What news?"

The other side immediately replied: "The old master, all the living beings are alone, and she has never been married."

At this moment, the old man could no longer control his emotions. He instantly burst into tears and was overwhelmed with grief.

Back then, I was not late for just one day!
But, it was one hundred and seventy years late!

Ugh--

Li Shimin, who had insight into everything in the heavens and the world, could only sigh.

Time is the most ruthless, especially for mortals.

A hundred years is a lifetime! (End of this chapter)
