The heavens begin from Pingyang City.

Chapter 859 The Lord of the Third Bronze Coffin
The courtyard is an ordinary courtyard, and the lake is just a simple lake.

However, because of the man sitting in the courtyard, who was dressed in white, had an elegant temperament but kept coughing, everything here became extraordinary.

A mountain is famous not because of its height, but because of the immortals living there; a river is magical not because of its depth, but because of the dragons living there!
Standing outside the courtyard, looking at the figure playing the piano in the courtyard, with the tinkling sound of the piano echoing in his ears, Jiang Yao couldn't help but think of these words.

"Ahem, you're here!"

At this moment, as if sensing the arrival of the 'guest', the sound of the piano slowly stopped, and a slightly sick cough was heard. The man in the courtyard stopped playing the piano and looked outside the courtyard, at Jiang Yao who had come outside the courtyard.

There was an unconcealable fatigue in his eyes, and his face was extremely pale. It was obvious that he had been tortured by illness for many years.

However, his expression did not change due to his "illness". Instead, he forced a smile and said weakly, "I have been waiting for you for a long time. Now we finally meet. Please come in and have a chat!"

Outside the courtyard.

Hearing the invitation from the man in the yard, Jiang Yao thought for a moment, gently pushed open the gate of the courtyard, raised his feet, and walked into the courtyard.

嗡

The moment he entered the courtyard, a feeling that made Jiang Yao's heart palpitate arose in his heart, and the scene before his eyes changed drastically in an instant.

A gloomy and strange gray fog suddenly appeared, shrouding the elegant man, and his body underwent a huge change in an instant.

First, thick red hair appeared on his body, turning him into a red-haired monster.

Then gray mist filled his eyes, ears, mouth, nose and other facial features, strange black blood began to flow, and he let out a violent coughing sound.

Finally, his body began to rot, accompanied by various "symptoms", and his whole body exuded a terrifying and terrifying aura.

problem occurs!
As this thought emerged in his mind, an indescribable feeling of palpitations arose in his heart. Jiang Yao's heart moved, and the energy in his body surged. The power of the two systems of Buddhism and Taoism in his body instantly merged, making his energy become extremely high and dispelling the strange energy.

The moment the two forces merged, Jiang Yao's vision changed instantly, and he saw the changes in the long river of time around the red-haired monster.

In the timeline before the red-haired monster, everything was nothingness, as if he was the source of the heavens and everything came from him, and as if everything before him had been sacrificed and completely returned to nothingness.

The timeline after him is the development process of the ancient history of the Perfect World, with countless scenes flowing in it.

There was a scene in front of us where a red-haired monster came to a plateau, refining an ancient bronze coffin with three layers inside and casting an ancient stone jar.

There was a scene where he burned himself to ashes, and his ashes fell into a stone jar, and then into a three-layered bronze ancient coffin and were buried under the plateau.

Then, as time passed, after an unknown amount of time, the plateau collapsed, the three-layer bronze coffin was shaken out, and the ashes were scattered on the plateau, causing the entire plateau to mutate and turn it into a strange and doomed land.

Then, endless years passed, and a group of outsiders came to the plateau. They were infected by the ashes on the plateau, and mutated, inheriting various "diseases" of the red-haired monster.

These "diseases" turned into all kinds of extremely strange powers, making them the ancestors of a strange clan.

Affected by these "diseases", the ancestors of these strange tribes instinctively performed a great sacrifice, wanting to sacrifice the entire heavens to the plateau and to the owner of the ashes.

It is precisely because of the emergence of the strange clan that countless evolved civilizations in the entire universe have been destroyed and countless big worlds have been turned into ruins.

A long illusory river flowed in his eyes, reflecting these scenes at the moment when Jiang Yao stretched out his right hand, and a jade disc emitting the clear light of Hongmeng appeared in his hand, constantly changing its shape, ready to take action at any time.

"Wait a minute, cough cough cough, fellow Taoist, please don't misunderstand!"

At this moment, a weak voice came from the mouth of the red-haired monster in front of him, accompanied by a violent cough, as if he was going to cough out his entire lung.

The next moment, the gray mist surrounding him merged into his body again, as if time had gone back. His rotten body and the black blood flowing in his facial features all disappeared, and he returned to his previous elegant and frail appearance.

Apart from the fact that his coughing became more intense, the elegant man in front of Jiang Yao had not changed at all, as if everything before was an illusion.

"cough cough"

The coughing sound continued, and the elegant man smiled and said, "My 'illness' is getting worse and worse. Even in this world beyond everything, I can no longer suppress it. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, fellow Taoist."

'disease.'

Hearing the man's words, Jiang Yao's eyes showed a hint of understanding, and at the same time he felt a little emotional.

What a terrible "disease" this is, even the being in front of him who has obviously reached a realm above the Dao of Sacrifice cannot suppress it temporarily!

He really is 'terminally ill'!

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Yao looked into the clear eyes of the man in front of him, and felt relieved immediately after feeling the change in his aura.

Then, his mind moved, and the jade disc of the Great Dao in his hand, which was emitting the clear light of Hongmeng, disappeared.

Jiang Yao walked to the stone table in the courtyard with a light step, and said with a bow, "My name is Jiang Yao, nice to meet you, fellow Taoist. If I am not mistaken, you are the strange source of the plateau disaster!"

Although it was a question, Jiang Yao's tone was extremely certain.

"Ahem, not bad!"

After coughing a few times, the elegant man nodded, picked up the teapot on the stove next to him, gently poured a cup of tea for Jiang Yao, and said, "Daoyou, please!"

Following the man's movements, Jiang Yao subconsciously turned his gaze to the stove.

With Jiang Yao's current level and eyesight, he could naturally see that it was just an ordinary stove.

However, because the man in front of him had used it, it was infected by his Qi, and extremely mysterious patterns of the Great Dao condensed in the furnace, turning it into a divine object of natural origin.

'This is the time furnace used by Chu Feng in the original book, or the 'cremation furnace'! '

As his thoughts turned, Jiang Yao looked across the courtyard and saw a flower that was constantly growing and then withering into seeds. It was the seed from the source of the Pollen Road.

In the lake next to the courtyard, a seemingly ordinary lotus continued to grow.

As time passed, influenced by the elegant masculine aura, the years around the lotus changed, and time passed, turning it into a lotus of eternal reincarnation.

And similar things can be found everywhere around the courtyard.

It really is true that:

When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!

Even if it is just an ordinary thing, if it stays in this small courtyard and is contaminated by the aura of this man who is at a level above the Dao of Sacrifice, it will become the most magical and exotic object in this world.

With thoughts turning in his mind, Jiang Yao retracted his gaze, sat opposite the elegant man, and looked at him.

"Just as you said!"

Sensing Jiang Yao's gaze, the elegant man smiled faintly and said, "The plateau disaster land in the future timeline you mentioned, and those strange tribes that have changed due to the power of my 'disease', are indeed from me."

"I am already 'terminally ill'. I can only burn myself and bury my ashes in the plateau, making the eternal void, in order to curb my 'illness'."

"But even I didn't expect that my 'disease' would be so strange. Even if I burned myself to ashes and suppressed myself in a bronze coffin, a huge change would still occur, causing my ashes to bring such a big trouble to the heavens and myriad worlds. I'm sorry to make a fool of myself!"

For the elegant man at this level of existence, he has long transcended the dimensions of time and space. The past, present and future, even illusion and reality, make no difference to him.

Therefore, when talking about the future timeline, his expression did not change much.

Of course, he himself has transcended the limitations of time and space, and the same is true for the 'disease' that can affect him. This means that even at the original source of time, or even in a special dimension beyond the world, he still cannot truly get rid of this 'disease'.

Shaking his head, Jiang Yao said calmly: "This is not Daoyou's will, but the inevitable law of the development of things. Daoyou don't have to say so." At this point, Jiang Yao's eyes showed a trace of curiosity, and he said: "Daoyou's realm should have reached above the sacrifice of Dao, why did you have such a terrible 'disease'?"

Although he had some guesses in his mind, Jiang Yao also wanted to hear the confirmation from this being above the Dao of Sacrifice himself.

"On the sacrificial path."

Hearing these four words, the elegant man was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said with a smile: "It is indeed quite appropriate to use this title as the name of this realm."

At this point, his eyes showed a trance, as if he recalled his own experience, and he spoke in a somewhat ethereal voice: "Maybe I was too greedy. After reaching the sacrificial path mentioned by fellow Taoists, I was still not satisfied with it. I wanted to explore the path to a higher realm, but I took the wrong path. Not only did I get an incurable "disease", but my ashes also brought great disaster to the entire universe!"

'A higher realm.'

Hearing the elegant man's words, Jiang Yao's eyes showed a look of "as expected", without any feeling of surprise.

Having reached the realm of the man in front of him who was above the level of the priest, only a higher realm could have such a great impact on him.

"I have long been tired of the world, and I just hope someone can help me get rid of it completely, which can also be regarded as getting rid of my own 'disease', but..."

Having said that, the elegant man turned his gaze to Jiang Yao. Divine light flashed in his eyes, and his aura suddenly became extremely lofty.

In an instant, the elegant man who was originally weak and frail suddenly became extremely tall and majestic, surpassing everything. Even Jiang Yao today could not see through his depth.

At this moment, he is the most powerful being in the world of sacrifice!

"However, because of your presence, I see a glimmer of hope to get rid of the 'disease', and also see the scenery of the great road beyond this world. That's why I called you here because I want to ask for your help."

'call.'

'I see.'

There was a hint of realization in Jiang Yao's eyes. No wonder he came directly here when he arrived in this world this time.

Jiang Yao's mind turned, and he seemed to have thought of something. He looked at the elegant man in front of him and said, "If what I guessed is correct, I was able to comprehend the essential power of primordial matter so easily before, and obtain the secret of the realm of sacrifice, because of your help in secret, right?"

“Primordial matter.”

Hearing these four words, the elegant man's mouth twitched slightly and his expression became a little awkward.

After a long while, he collected his thoughts and continued, "Although there are some reasons of my own, I just did not restrict you from comprehending the power of it. In fact, the most important thing is that you have a high level of understanding, and you can walk through the real heavens and experience the mysteries of different great ways. Only by drawing inferences from one instance to another can you comprehend the mysteries of the original matter."

"Although I have not truly lost everything in eternity due to my realm above the Dao of Sacrifice, I am still affected by my own 'illness' and can only appear in this dimension beyond the mundane world. I cannot affect the real world at all, nor can I affect my fellow Taoists. If it weren't for the fact that your state is now close to mine, I would not be able to call you, so you have misunderstood me on this point."

Having said that, the elegant man began to cough violently again, with gray mist looming around him, as if he could no longer suppress his own "illness".

"Yeah."

After taking a deep look at the elegant man, Jiang Yao did not continue the topic.

At the same time, sensing the terrifying and strange aura contained in the gray mist surrounding the elegant man, countless divine lights flowed in Jiang Yao's eyes, and the Buddhist and Taoist powers in his body blended and evolved into Tai Chi Yin and Yang, causing his aura to constantly change.

After an unknown amount of time, his body shook slightly, and Jiang Yao subconsciously shifted his gaze away, his own Qi fluctuating slightly.

He activated the embryonic form of his own Dao fruit and the power of offering sacrifice to the Dao fruit, and let the principles of Buddhism circulate in his body. The next moment, wisps of black mist emerged from Jiang Yao's body and then turned into nothingness.

"It's really scary!"

After doing all this, Jiang Yao turned his gaze to the elegant man in front of him again and said in a deep voice: "I hope you know that the 'disease' in your body is too difficult to cure, and I have no way to help you get rid of it now!"

"Cough cough."

Hearing Jiang Yao's words, the elegant man coughed twice, but his expression did not change much. He smiled and said, "I understand. In fact, I don't have much hope this time. After all, your current realm has not yet reached the peak, but..."

At this point, the elegant man showed a hint of request on his face, and he cupped his hands and said, "However, Daoist friend now possesses two extremely powerful systems, and has perfectly integrated them, and has walked out of his own path. In the future, he will definitely be able to reach or even surpass the realm above the so-called Sacrifice Dao that I am currently in."

"When that time comes, I hope you can help me get rid of my current 'illness'."

At this point, the elegant man sighed and said, "If you can't do it by then, I hope you can help me get real liberation!"

Obviously, rather than being constantly tortured by the "disease", the elegant man would rather disappear completely and be empty forever.

But at his current state, even if he wanted to truly die, it was not an easy thing to do, especially when he was still plagued by that terrible "disease".

"Fellow Taoist, don't worry."

Hearing the elegant man's words, Jiang Yao smiled and said, "If I can reach the realm you mentioned in the future and have the ability to help you, I will definitely help you solve the 'disease' in your body."

If he reaches the highest level in the future and can truly help the other party, Jiang Yao will naturally not be stingy. After all, the other party's strength has provided a great help to his own growth.

If this cannot be done, then Jiang Yao has no other options.

"Cough cough."

Another round of coughing sounded, and the elegant man cupped his hands and said, "In that case, I would like to thank you here first!"

The moment the words fell, the gray mist around the elegant man became thicker and thicker, and red hair began to appear on his body.

"Hey, cough, cough, I can't hold it back again, fellow Daoist, this is my understanding of the realm above the Dao of Sacrifice, I hope it can be helpful to you in your future path!"

Feeling the changes in himself, the elegant man sighed, stretched out his hand, and a divine light composed of countless great runes appeared in front of Jiang Yao, emitting a lofty aura that surpassed everything.

Obviously, the elegant man also understood that if you want the horse to run, you must let the horse eat grass. Since he needs the other party's help, he also needs to provide something of equal exchange.

As for him now, only his own understanding of the realm above the Dao of Sacrifice can be of help to the fellow Taoist in front of him.

The moment the divine light appeared, the sacrificial fruit position in Jiang Yao's body vibrated violently, as if it had sensed something extremely important to itself.

He stretched out his hand, took the divine light, and felt the endless mysterious secrets contained in it. A smile appeared in Jiang Yao's eyes.

At this moment, with a slight buzzing sound, the elegant man could no longer suppress his illness and turned into a red-haired monster again, surrounded by thick gray mist.

Before Jiang Yao could react, he walked out of the courtyard.

"Fellow Daoist, I still don't know what your name is?"

Looking at the courtyard gate that was about to close, Jiang Yao spoke subconsciously.

"My name."

The moment the voice fell, the gate of the courtyard closed completely, as if everything was completely sealed off.

The next moment, Jiang Yao's eyes changed. The original source of time returned to the chaos of primordial chaos. There was no trace of the courtyard.

Subconsciously looking towards the beginning of time, I saw only chaos, without any trace of the previous era, as if everything was nothingness.

"The source of everything?"

After a while, whispers were heard and Jiang Yao's figure disappeared in the light of Shi Guang.

The original source of time returned to tranquility again, only the primordial chaos existed, as if everything before was an illusion.
