Gao Wu: My martial arts training relies solely on hard work

The vast East China Sea.

Zhao Xuan walked in the air, time passed around him, and there seemed to be the setting of the sun and the rising of the moon, and the scene of great changes in the world.

Suddenly, huge waves appeared, and a pillar-like figure rose from the sea.

A deep and rich voice came slowly: "I wonder what brings you here, young friend?"

Zhao Xuan casually drew a circle, and a Tai Chi Yin-Yang diagram appeared out of thin air and floated in front of the water giant: "Can Shui Zu recognize this diagram?"

Gong Gong chuckled: "Who in the Three Realms doesn't know the way of the Great Red Dao Master?"

"My friend, are you here on the orders of the Taoist Master? Do you have something to discuss with me?"

Zhao Xuan nodded: "The Dao Master once said that when the gods suffered great disasters in the past, he had helped many times to ensure the continuity of the gods' inheritance. The gods owe him a huge favor."

"Now that the other gods are not powerful, please ask Shuizu to repay this favor on behalf of the gods."

Gong Gong was silent for a long time, but his tone remained unchanged: "How to repay it?"

Zhao Xuan pointed at himself and said: "There are three thousand divine ways. Please do not keep them to yourself. Pass them all on to me."

In the eyes of Taishang Laojun, although he is a good helper, his strength is still a little lacking.

Fortunately, he had comprehended the avenue of time and had enough time to make up for it.

The way to make up for it is to discuss and practice Taoism with the powerful beings in the three realms.

It has to be said that Taishang Laojun's network of contacts is extremely terrifying.

To put it simply, Taishang Laojun knows many powerful people in the Three Realms, and these powerful people either treat him as a junior or owe him huge favors.

He asked them to stand with him and fight against the way of heaven, but they might not dare.

But it shouldn't be difficult to repay the kindness of the past by just preaching and discussing the truth.

If there are some powerful people who don't remember the friendship we had in the past, then don't blame them for not remembering the friendship we had in the past.

If you can’t take care of the Heavenly Dao, can’t you take care of a few youngsters?
Under the guidance of Taishang Laojun, Zhao Xuan was either discussing and practicing Taoism with the powerful beings of the Three Realms, or on his way to find the powerful beings of the Three Realms.

Gonggong was just one of them.

"No."

Before Gonggong could speak, a water monkey jumped out to object.

Zhao Xuan looked at Gonggong calmly, neither sad nor happy.

He used the favor of Taishang Laojun.

Even if others don't give him face, it's not him who loses face.

Besides, the real owner hasn't spoken yet. What qualifications does a monkey have to speak so arrogantly?
"No Zhiqi, no disrespect."

Gong Gong scolded: "The Great Red Dao Master has done a favor to the gods, how can we be ungrateful?"

Wuzhiqi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of being ungrateful. There are many ways to repay a favor. The way of God concerns our life and death, why do you have to do this?"

It's not that he doesn't want to repay the favor, he just doesn't want to give everything.

Gong Gong smiled bitterly: "Except for the way of gods, how can we have anything that the Taoist Master would look upon?"

"My friend, please follow me."

Wuzhiqi wanted to persuade him again, but was stopped by Gonggong's stern look.

He waved his hand, causing the sea to part a path and invited Zhao Xuan in, while asking, "My friend, have you traveled to many places this time?"

Zhao Xuan nodded: "Quite a lot."

"went well?"

Zhao Xuan thought for a moment and said, "Most of them are like the seniors, gentle and polite, but there are a few who are like the seniors' subordinates, rebellious and rude."

Gong Gong smiled and asked, "How did you deal with it, young friend?"

Zhao Xuan smiled back: "If you treat me with courtesy, I will keep you. If you are disrespectful and rude, I will leave."

Wuzhiqi, who was following behind, heard this and tried his best to wink at Gonggong.

It seems to be saying: "Did you hear that? He is a coward. Just refuse him."

Gong Gong was surprised and said, "My friend, your cultivation is not weak, so why didn't you argue with them?"

Zhao Xuan waved his hand and said, "What's the point of theory? Anyone who speaks rudely to the younger generation and refuses to repay the favor of the Great Red Daoist Reverend will be visited by the Daoist Reverend."

He paused and said calmly: "As far as I know, none of those who were ungrateful survived."

Wuzhiqi only felt a chill in his heart and his whole body was cold.

The Dao Master is here in person, and his monarch cannot bear the Dao Master's wrath.

Fortunately, the king is not as ignorant and short-sighted as him, otherwise both the master and the servant would have died without a burial place.

Gonggong looked normal.

How can there be any kind-hearted Taoist who has survived the creation of the world?
Those who are not cruel would not be alive today.

When they arrived at the fairy palace under the sea, Gonggong and Zhao Xuan sat opposite each other, one preaching and the other practicing, and occasionally discussing Taoism.

With the blessing of the Avenue of Time, it only took Zhao Xuan half a month to learn all the three thousand divine ways.

"Thank you for your preaching."

Gong Gong waved his hand and said, "I am just repaying the favor of the Great Equator Lord. Why should I thank you?"

Zhao Xuan smiled and said, "Let's put things aside. We'll meet again if we're lucky."

Gong Gong watched Zhao Xuan leave, shook his head and whispered: "Will we meet again?"

……

"Are you ready?"

Taishang Laojun looked at Zhao Xuan and asked calmly.

Zhao Xuan replied: "I have gained a lot during this period, but it's a pity that I haven't been able to take that step."

"Give it some more time, maybe things will be different."

The implication is that you are not ready.

Taishang Laojun didn't seem to hear the hidden meaning, and said calmly: "I will mobilize in the fairy world and make a direct settlement with the heaven, and you just stay in the human world."

"Now that things have come to this, I will not say anything that must be kept, so as not to disturb your Taoist heart."

"But you should be aware that if I fail this time, your close elder will probably have a hard time surviving."

Zhao Xuan drooped his eyelids slightly: "Junior knows what's going on, senior, just take care of yourself." Taishang Laojun looked at Zhao Xuan deeply, and his figure slowly disappeared.

"Boom!"

As soon as Laozi left, there was a sudden thunder.

The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

Zhang Taifeng appeared beside Zhao Xuan without knowing when, and asked calmly, "Has it started?"

Zhao Xuan sighed: "Junior doesn't know that the key to success or failure is not on our side, so Uncle Master might as well wait and see."

Zhang Taifeng shook his head and said with a smile: "I, Zhang Taifeng, have never relied on others in my life."

He patted Zhao Xuan's shoulder, and in Zhao Xuan's surprised eyes, his body continued to rise higher, and in the blink of an eye it seemed to break through the sky.

"Heaven is cruel and treats all things as straw dogs. Saints are cruel and treat the people as straw dogs. We, the living beings, should go against the will of Heaven, slaughter the saints, and restore peace to the world."

As the words fell, his aura continued to grow, becoming as deep as an abyss or a prison.

"Unbridled, bold, and arrogant."

An angry shout came from the sky, and a young man with a gloomy face stood in the air, glaring at Zhang Taifeng.

The one who came was the incarnation of Heaven in the human world.

Zhang Taifeng chuckled, slowly stretched his body, drew a circle with his arms, and threw a light punch at the young man.

The young man sneered: "How dare a mere mortal show himself in front of me?"

His palm turned over, as if the sky was tilting.

The huge palm that covered the sky and the sun pressed towards Zhang Taifeng, and was met with Zhang Taifeng's light and seemingly weak fist.

"Crack!"

The huge palm that almost covered the entire sky cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye and shattered in the air.

Zhang Taifeng's punch continued and landed on the young man. The young man didn't even make a sound and his whole body exploded.

Zhao Xuan looked at Zhang Taifeng in amazement: "When did Master Uncle become so strong?"

He then asked cautiously: "Are you the Great Senior?"

Zhang Taifeng smiled gently: "Of course not, you are already so strong, can't I rise a level?"

"My boy, you must know that there are always people who are better than you."

"Enough of the small talk, let's see how your great-grandmaster defies the heavens."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole person disappeared.

A moment later, the earth shook violently, as if it was the end of the world.

……

fairyland.

Taishang Laojun walked slowly forward, and from time to time a girl in palace dress appeared beside him.

The girl's dress was stained with blood, and she looked very embarrassed, but she was unyielding: "Da Chi, you and I have lived in peace for many years, why can't we maintain it? Why do we have to tear each other apart?"

The eyes of the Supreme Lord Laozi are dim: "I want this day, and you can no longer cover my eyes."

"This world should not be a cage that binds me. I was born to be free and will never be controlled by anyone, and the sky is no exception."

"puff!"

The girl spat out a mouthful of blood, her face showing madness: "Then let's die together."

As the words fell, figures appeared beside Taishang Laojun.

Zhulong, Donghuang Taiyi, Jidu Luohou...

They are all beings that once stirred up the heaven and earth.

Driven by the way of heaven, they rushed towards Taishang Laojun...

……

The human world.

Zhang Taifeng's Taoist robe rustled, and his jade-like palm stroked the boy's head, his tone extremely gentle: "The old Taoist won."

The boy shattered and disappeared completely.

Blood rain began to fall from the sky, as if mourning for the young man.

Zhang Taifeng's figure flashed and disappeared from the world.

……

fairyland.

"Da Chi, you are going to lose."

The girl was covered in blood. She slowly walked towards Taishang Laojun, who was sitting cross-legged with a decadent look. Her eyes were exceptionally bright.

Taishang Laojun laughed loudly: "Have you forgotten that I can transform into the Three Pure Ones?"

The girl chuckled: "Are you the only one who can do this? Do you know that man proposes, God disposes?"

Taishang Laojun was stunned when he heard this.

Zhang Taifeng walked over slowly.

He pointed at Zhang Taifeng and said, "What about him? Have you figured it out?"

The girl didn't care at first, but when she noticed that Zhang Taifeng had a strange aura, her face changed slightly.

"When did you break through the restrictions of the Heavenly Dao?"

Zhang Taifeng did not answer, but looked at the girl calmly: "Old Taoist Zhang Taifeng, please let the heavens return to peace."

The girl's heart became increasingly alarmed, and she instinctively wanted to escape, and her body collapsed.

When it was reshaped, it crashed into Zhang Taifeng's arms.

Zhang Taifeng opened his arms, yin and yang rotated, and the girl gradually faded and disappeared.

Taishang Laojun laughed loudly: "Well, it is worthy of being a chess piece planted by me personally."

Zhang Taifeng looked over and smiled, "Please return to your seat, fellow Taoist."
