Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 509 Secret
"Is each cave immortal?"

Xu Yang shook his head and said with a faint smile: "It's just a mustard disease, what's the point of talking about it."

"Daoyou, take it seriously and speak frankly!"

Jun Qing heard this and smiled: "Since you are not a true immortal from each cave, what difficulty can Jun Qing solve?"

"The inheritance of the Alliance Heavenly Dao is very long, and Fairy Jun has read the three religions and is well-versed in ancient and modern times. She must know the secrets of the ancient times!"

Xu Yang praised and chuckled, saying, "Please help me solve this mystery, Fairy."

"Oh?"

Jun Qing raised his eyebrows, his eyes were inexplicable: "What secret do you want to know, fellow Taoist?"

"The Secret of the God War!"

Xu Yang went straight to the point and said, "What caused the ancient war and how did it end? Why were all the major fairyland, divine kingdom, and Buddhist realm closed after the war, cutting off the connection between heaven and earth, allowing the demonic calamity to wreak havoc and has not been seen since then?"

"This……"

Jun Qing's eyes changed and he was speechless for a moment.

Xu Yang didn't care. He sipped his tea and waited for the result.

This Fairy Jun is none other than the leader of the Alliance of Heaven, a practitioner of the three religions, and a true immortal who has achieved perfection in the nine tribulations.

More than ten years ago, she quietly passed the heavenly tribulation of entering the world and returned to the human world, becoming the first Nine Tribulations True Immortal to enter the world.

Xu Yang was not surprised by this. After all, the Mengtian Dao method was mysterious. It was the result of the joint practice of the three religions. It combined the great aspirations and vows of Buddhism, the Taoist method of heaven and man, and the Confucian teachings. Its comprehension and understanding of the way of heaven and the human heart was not comparable to that of ordinary Taoist methods, and it had a huge advantage in the way of "overcoming the tribulation".

Back then, Yu Zhao, as the successor of Mengtian Dao, had "business competition" with him. Relying on Mengtian Dao's methods, she opened up many blessed places and gained a lot of merits.

This shows the magic of the Alliance Heavenly Dao Law.

As the leader of the Alliance of Heaven, it is reasonable for Jun Qing to be the first to enter the world.

But although it makes sense, this is just an exception and not the general situation.

Other immortals in the caves are still dormant in the caves and have not been able to enter the world together.

Otherwise, three months ago, on the Golden Summit of Mount Emei, those who watched his battle with Ren Baimei were not a group of immortal gods in the Tribulation Realm, but a group of True Immortals in the Nine Tribulations Realm.

Unless there is a method of overcoming tribulations that is equivalent to the Alliance Heavenly Dao, the True Immortals from various caves who want to enter the world will have to wait for the situation to develop and for the Heavenly Dao to further relax restrictions.

After all, it is extremely difficult for the Nine Tribulations to come true, and there is no way that one would take risks and gamble one's life on the road for a momentary dispute over interests.

Even if it is possible, Xu Yang doesn't care too much. After all, he has the Xuantian Sword Sect as a lesson and deterrence. Even if the true immortals from various caves enter the world, the Wandao Academy can guarantee the basic situation, and there will not be much change in thousands of years.

So, as he said, the true immortals in each cave are just a tiny disease.

What Xu Yang really cares about and values ​​are the various fairylands, Buddhist kingdoms, divine realms, and holy places.

Those celestial emperors, earthly immortals, the Three Pure Ones, the three-phase gods, the Buddhas of the three worlds...

These supreme strong men are his "biggest worries!"

Three months ago, in the battle at the Golden Summit of Emei Mountain, although he defeated Ren Baimei and the Liangyi Microdust Array and established his status as the "True Immortal Invincible", he was only the True Immortal Invincible.

His resources have been exhausted!
The Three Elements of Heaven and Earth and the Nine-Ring Sword Formation are his strongest means. If another powerful enemy emerges, stronger than Ren Baimei, then not only will he be defeated without a doubt and have no chance of survival, he will also be stretched to the limit and be controlled by others.

The hidden dangers are extremely serious and the threats are huge!
But there are many such hidden dangers and threats.

After all, this world is a world of immortals and gods.

Among all the major pantheons, if we take into account all the gods, how many celestial beings and earthly immortals are there?
Xu Yang wasn’t sure, but he was sure that the number was definitely not small.

Whatever the considerations, he must plan ahead and make arrangements for the future.

Therefore, he invited the leader of the Alliance to seek her advice and help him solve his problems.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle!
As for whether this will reveal anything...

If you don't want people to know, then don't do it yourself!
Things have developed to this point, and some things can no longer be concealed.

There are no fools among the immortals and gods. If you can deceive them for a while, can you deceive them for the rest of your life?
Therefore, it doesn’t matter whether it is exposed or not, everyone knows it, but they just don’t point it out.

……

Jun Qing put down the teacup, his expression changing, and after a long while he spoke: "This is a long story!"

Xu Yang smiled, not startled: "Then please tell me in detail, Fairy, I will listen attentively!"

"All right!"

Jun Qing shook his head and said, "Daoyou, you know the myriad worlds."

"Um!?"

Xu Yang's eyes condensed, and then he nodded: "There are so many heavens in the world, and the worlds are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges?"

"Yes, there are many heavens in the world, and the worlds are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges!"

Jun Qing nodded and murmured, "This world is the world of immortals and gods. Outside this world, there are countless heavens and worlds, just like the countless sands in the Ganges. The demon world of the outsiders is one of them."

After saying that, Jun Qing's eyes turned, his expression even more amused: "Daoyou, have you ever traveled through the heavens?"

Xu Yang smiled and said nothing: "Fairy, if you say so, you must have traveled before?"

"Not bad!"

Jun Qing nodded, chuckled and said, "After the Nine Tribulations came true, I traveled through the heavens and gained a lot."

"Oh?"

Xu Yang smiled: "What did the fairy gain?"

"See the Tao, see the Buddha, see the Confucianism, see the wonderful laws of the heavens, and the mysteries of the worlds!"

Jun Qing made a witty remark, then smiled and said, "I have traveled through the heavens and discovered one thing, that is, in all the heavens and the myriad worlds, there are traces of various Taoist sects, such as the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, the Two Vehicles of Buddhism, and the Saint Master of Confucianism..."

"Besides that, the inheritance and cultivation methods of each sect are similar, or even the same."

"Like my Xuanmen, I refine Qi to build my foundation, condense the golden elixir into an infant, return my primordial spirit to the void, and merge into a great body..."

"This level of realm is divided into more than one world, more than one realm. Some are very similar, while others are the same."

Jun Qing turned his gaze and looked at Xu Yang: "Daoyou, do you know the reason?"

After hearing this, Xu Yang fell silent.

This question has actually been lingering in his mind.

Zhuang Zhou dreamed of being a butterfly and traveled through the heavens. During his practice, he had traveled through many worlds, experienced many things, and accumulated many questions.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talking about the inheritance of Taoism. In so many worlds, there are traces of the three religions of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism, just more or less.

These three religious traditions have true and false, real and imaginary. For example, in the Great Zhou and Tang dynasties and the secular martial arts world, they are pure imaginary Taoism and false Buddhism. In the world of Taoism and Yuanling, they are true Buddhas and true Taoism, as well as the legends, traditions, and methods left over from the ancient immortals and gods.

But whether true or false, real or imaginary, they exist and their inheritance is similar.

Taoism must have the Three Pure Ones, Buddhism must have Sakyamuni, and Confucianism must have a Holy Master. This is true in every world. There may be slight differences in the names, but the essence is the same, changing without changing.

So, here comes the problem.

Where do so many Three Pure Ones come from, where do so many Sakyas come from, where do so many saints come from?
Are the Three Pure Ones, Sakyamuni Tathagata, and the Eternal Holy Teacher of these worlds independent existences?
If so, with their great powers, how could they coincidentally use similar names?

If not, then what are these Taoists and Buddhas, these Three Pure Ones, and Sakyamuni Tathagata?
Are these worlds real or fake?
Such questions have been lingering in Xu Yang's mind, without any definite answers. It even made him doubt himself, his own existence, and everything he had experienced. Was it true or false? Was it just an imaginary, man-made story?

These questions have no answers.

Xu Yang once made a guess, but without evidence, all guesses were meaningless.

Then now...

"In my opinion, there are only two explanations for this phenomenon that can barely make sense!"

Jun Qing spoke softly with a serious look on his face: "First, among all the heavens and myriad worlds, there is a core that exists. It is the only true world. It radiates from the core. Everything in the heavens and myriad worlds is a reflection of this world!"

"In that one true world, there are Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Legalism. So in all the heavens and myriad worlds, there are Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Legalism. They are similar, changing but not changing."

"The Three Pure Ones in the heavens and myriad worlds, Sakyamuni Tathagata, and the saintly teachers are all incarnations of the Three Pure Ones in the one true world. Sakyamuni's dharma image and the saints' thoughts are real and false existences."

Jun Qing looked at Xu Yang with a calm expression: "Taoism and Buddha are so sacred, other creatures and other things may be the same, including you and me!"

Xu Yang was also calm after hearing this: "Although this explanation makes sense, it is also absurd and difficult to justify." "That's right!"

Jun Qing nodded and said in a deep voice: "So most of the fellow Taoists agree with the second theory of the great way."

"The Great Dao?"

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed: "How do you say it?"

"There are three thousand great ways, but they all lead to the same destination!"

Jun Qing smiled: "All heavens are real, all worlds are real, the reason why they are similar and there are so many Three Pure Ones and Sakya is because the great way of heaven and earth is essentially the same."

"The Three Pure Ones are the Tao, Sakyamuni is the Tao, and the saints are the Tao!"

“If someone practices and realizes this truth, he is the Three Pure Ones, the Sakyamuni, and a saint!”

"Just as the name of the sky is sky, and the name of the earth is earth!"

"The three religions in the universe are not a reflection of any particular world, but the embodiment of the great Dao of the world itself. Where there is Dao, there are the Three Pure Ones, and where there is Dao, there is Sakyamuni."

Jun Qing looked at Xu Yang with an inexplicable expression: "Do you understand what I mean, fellow Daoist?"

"suddenly see the light!"

Hearing this, Xu Yang also sighed: "Thank you for your guidance, fellow Taoist!"

Jun Qing's explanation might be confusing to others.

But now it is not someone else, but Xu Yang, Xu Yang who has practiced Taoism deeply.

So he heard it clearly and understood it deeply.

In the Taoist world, there are immortals and gods, and the methods passed down by the major Taoist sects are also closely related to these immortals and gods.

Apart from other things, the formulas are mostly chanting the names of immortals and gods, such as "Taishang Laojun, hurry up and command!"

But this kind of Taoism can actually be used in other worlds.

Why?

Could it be that there are similar immortals and gods in other worlds?

Of course not!

But there are no immortals or gods, but there is the Great Way!

The Jade Emperor is in a hurry to obey the orders. In fact, it is not "The Jade Emperor" who is in a hurry to obey the orders, but "Tao" who is in a hurry to obey the orders.

What we are asking for is not God, but Tao. As long as "Tao" exists in this world and there are such principles and rules, the Taoist method can be used.

Therefore, everything suddenly becomes clear. The reason why all the heavens and worlds have the Three Religions, the Three Pure Ones, and Sakyamuni Tathagata is because these Three Pure Ones and Sakyamuni are essentially manifestations of "Tao".

Just like every world has heaven and earth, as long as there is Taoism, there are the Three Pure Ones; as long as there is Buddha, there is Sakyamuni.

They are not projections or incarnations of any world or supreme being, but manifestations of the "Tao" of each world. They are all independent existences, but with the same form of expression.

Taking Xu Yang himself as an example, if one day he cultivates to the highest level of Taoism, or even achieves the Golden Immortal, and opens up a world of his own, then he can also say that he is the Three Pure Ones, and that he is Sakyamuni, because he has mastered such principles and rules.

To put it simply, this is a "position" that exists in every world and every "company". The same position does not mean the person is the same.

Of course, this is also a hypothesis, at least for Xu Yang, because he does not have the ability to verify it now.

and so……

Xu Yang looked at Jun Qing: "What does this have to do with the ancient war?"

"Important connection!"

Jun Qing smiled and said, "In the end of the ancient times, the immortals and gods fought a great battle, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to split. Countless immortals and gods fell, and the vitality of the major sects was greatly damaged. Even the emperor of the immortals and gods was seriously injured and had to seal himself off to cultivate."

"This is what the public says, and there is a key point in it!"

Jun Qing smiled inexplicably: "That is why the various sects, immortal gods and emperors would start such a war?"

"The immortals are immortal and have long vision. It is only natural that they would be so unwise as to perish together with the enemy."

"So, there is only one possibility, that is, for some reason, they have to fight and struggle."

"And the reason why all the major sects and immortal gods and emperors came out to fight and risk their lives..."

Jun Qing smiled and said, "Only one!"

Xu Yang glanced and took over the conversation: "Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, Hunyuan Opportunity?"

"Not bad!"

Jun Qing nodded and murmured, "Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, Hunyuan Opportunity."

Xu Yang was not surprised at all and asked calmly, "What is the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit?"

"I don't know!"

Jun Qing shook his head: "What exactly is the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit? Is it a magic weapon, an innate spiritual root, or some other spiritual object?"

"No one knows. We only know that all the major sects fought for him, and the immortals, gods and emperors risked their lives."

"In the end, both sides were destroyed and both suffered losses. All the major fairylands sealed themselves off, creating a situation in which the connection between heaven and earth was cut off since the ancient times."

Jun Qing looked at Xu Yang, chuckled and asked, "In your opinion, what is this Golden Immortal Dao Fruit?"

"How can I know if I haven't seen it?"

Xu Yang shook his head and said without making any guesses: "Every cause has its effect. Even if both sides are destroyed and both are hurt, the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit should have a destination. Who will get it in the end?"

"No one knows!"

Jun Qing also shook his head: "I have only heard some rumors. In the end, the opportunity of Hunyuan was torn into pieces by the struggle among the various immortal gods and emperors. The emperors each got a share, then stopped fighting and returned to the fairyland to recuperate, while comprehending the opportunity of Hunyuan to prove themselves as golden immortals."

"is it?"

Xu Yang was not surprised to hear this, and simply changed the subject: "Then who among the various immortal gods and emperors is the strongest and has gained the most?"

Jun Qing was not surprised by this question, and chuckled and said, "All the major sects, immortals, gods and emperors are innately sacred, and it is difficult to tell who is stronger. But when it comes to the strongest, there is indeed one, and that is the Great Brahma True God of the Brahma Sect!"

"Great Brahma God?"

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed: "Three phases merge into one?"

"Not bad!"

Jun Qing nodded: "All the great Dao sects cultivate the great Dao, and the immortals and gods exist independently. Taiqing is the master, Yuqing is the master, Shangqing is also the master, Dipankara is the Buddha, Sakyamuni is the Buddha, and Maitreya is also the Buddha."

"These immortal gods and emperors are unique, and their strengths are comparable."

"Only Brahma is different. The three gods are born from the same source, so they have a supreme magical power that can combine the three into one and transform into the true god Brahma."

"It is said that this Great Brahma True God has a strength infinitely close to that of a Golden Immortal, and is the strongest among all the Immortal Gods and Emperors."

“Although Taoism and Buddhism also have the Three Pure Ones and the Three Worlds of Buddhism, because the various emperors are independent, they cannot be as deeply united as the Three Gods, and cannot be distinguished from each other, so…”

Jun Qing sighed: "In the ancient war, the Brahma sect should have benefited the most. With the power of the Great Brahma God, they seized the most opportunities for the Primordial Chaos."

"is it?"

Xu Yang was not surprised when he heard this.

Just as Jun Qing said, the Immortal God Emperors are equally powerful, but the Three-phase God comes from the same source and is able to combine the three phases into one to achieve Great Brahma, which is slightly superior.

Although Xuanmen also has Buddhist and Taoist methods that can unite the Three Pure Ones and return to Buddhahood for three lifetimes, these Three Pure Ones and the Three Buddhas of the past, present and future are not born from the same source, but exist independently.

It's like Xu Yang cultivated the way of Taiqing and became the Taoist Lord of Taiqing, while another unknown person cultivated the way of Yuqing and Shangqing. So he came over and wanted Xu Yang to become one with him among the Three Purities?

Is it possible that Xu Yang agrees to this?

Of course it’s impossible!
He is an independent existence. At most, he can practice with him and perform some complementary methods. There is absolutely no principle of giving up oneself to merge with him and achieve "Hunyuan".

Therefore, in the ancient war, the three-phase god of Brahma should be the biggest beneficiary because of his common origin and the advantage of being able to combine the three phases into one.

So here comes the problem.

What exactly are the Golden Immortal Fruit and the opportunity of Hunyuan?
