Seeking Immortals

Chapter 697 Shared Respect for Humanity

 Li Qing didn’t know the specific content of the Daoguan test, and even the three creatures Hong, Pan, and Hao couldn’t explain it clearly. However, after entering the long river of time, all he could do was to modify the imperfect experiences of the past.

If you ask him to just look at his past self without making any changes, then this relationship is meaningless.

 After revising his past experience, he must be right in the Dao Pass. If he was wrong, he would have been deemed to have failed the test and would have been kicked out of the Third Ancestor Tower.

 Making up for the regrets of the past, making life perfect without getting lost in it, Li Qing thought this was the way to break through the barriers, and he also enjoyed the process.

When the passage to his hometown appeared, Li Qing refused to step in. Instead, he insisted on his own Taoism. He believed that this was the right choice.

 Then when Li Qing did this, the Third Ancestral Pagoda did not pull him out. He was still in the world of Long River of Time.

 “Isn’t that enough?” Li Qing frowned.

 “What went wrong?”

Li Qing fell silent, sat on the top of a mountain, and looked up at the sky.

He doesn't know how to break through the barriers set by Hongtian, Panyuan, and Haoyue. Maybe he has to look at the world from a different angle.

"Fellow Taoist Hong said that the Tao of the Third Ancestor will evolve in the Tao Pass in the tower..." Li Qing entered into deep thinking. What he saw now was his own past, and there was no Tao of the Third Ancestor at all.

 It is obviously impossible to break through the Tao barrier without realizing the Tao of the Third Patriarch.

"Wait a minute!" Li Qing's thoughts changed, "What if... the third ancestor also used the long river of time to go back to the past, change the small details but not the big ones, so that the memory is intact, the life has no regrets, and no longer lost like me, On the contrary, it strengthens one’s own Taoism.”

“What should the Third Patriarch do next?”

Li Qing's thinking continues to diverge, introducing the roles of Hongtian, Panyuan, and Haoyue.

 Spring passes and autumn comes, and I don’t know how many years have passed.

 Li Qing's murmur floated in the sky.

“People respect the Tao, the Tao respects the Tao, and the Tao respects people...the Tao of the three ancestors seems to float away from the three..."

 “What should be the ultimate point of the Tao?”

Li Qing thought like this. His mind was full of Tao. He turned into Hongtian, Panyuan, and Haoyue.

Before entering the Third Ancestral Pagoda, Li Qing occasionally looked back on the past and thought of some old friends, but gradually, he lost the idea of ​​recalling the past.

 There were no regrets in the past, it was a perfect life, so there was nothing left to miss. The memories of the past were gradually blurring in his mind.

 A living being has many memories, but very few can be remembered specifically. Most of the memories will be forgotten, leaving only some unforgettable images.

 In silence, Li Qing's emotions were dissipating.

Li Qing can still see past memories, but the memories are all about practice and Tao, and he doesn't even look at other scenes.

 Suddenly, Li Qing woke up, his eyes suddenly opened, and his body was full of Tao Qi.

"Understood!"

“People respect the Tao, the Tao respects the Tao, and the Tao respects people, there is another level: respecting each other for the sake of humanity!”

"It can also be said that human nature is equal and human nature is one. Human beings are Tao, and Tao is human beings!"

“The unity of humanity and Tao is the ultimate Tao pursued by Hongtian, Panyuan and Haoyue!”

 The haze that permeated Li Qing's mind has dissipated. The three ancestors all have a perfect life. They can correct the past without leaving any regrets. When the regrets are gone and there is no nostalgia for the past, the three ancestors will only have Tao in their eyes.

 Before the Tao, everything can be thrown away.

Li Qing has understood how to break through the Tao of the Third Ancestor Pagoda. He only needs to return to the Tao, disconnect his past emotions, erase the emotions outside the Tao, and pursue the Tao of the Third Ancestor.

 …

 “Is this really the case?”

Li Qing shook his head. People respect the Tao, and Tao respects people. In his opinion, people respecting the Tao is ultimately an inferior method. Although people respecting the Tao is completely different from respecting the Tao, and has a higher intention, it ultimately includes the latter.

 “My way is to respect people. This way of people respecting each other is not what I want.”

"Even if I don't have the consideration of Tao Zunren, if I really want to give up my past emotions, it would still be inconsistent with my thoughts."

“I wholeheartedly seek immortality from Taoism and regard beauty as withered bones. It does not mean that I don’t want a Taoist companion. If I gain immortality, I can take as many Taoist companions as I want.”

“Becoming a machine for seeking Tao is not what I want. I have been a eunuch, not because I really want to be a eunuch. If it were really a machine for seeking Tao, I would not take Yingzi with me on the road to immortality..."

"A perfect life, even if it is beautiful, will always lose its charm without regrets." Li Qing suddenly realized.

 The experiences that have been modified over the years are being repaired, and Li Qing's memory is also being restored, returning to its original state.

In memory, Li Qing did become a real eunuch, Concubine Ming was seriously injured and hanged herself, and Yang Ying also committed suicide in the underworld.

“I am me, and all the growth paths are taken step by step. If you really change the memory of the past, then you will lose your true self!”

Li Qing's mind became clearer. He saw a complete path to the ultimate path of cultivating immortality, and he also saw himself more clearly.

“My Taoist Ultimate seems to have a clue...but I have only seen the general results, and the process still needs to be explored.”

 After awakening, Li Qing gained a lot. From the change of memory to the recovery of memory, this was not a simple cycle, and it made him strengthen his own path.

 At the same time, there was a huge shock in the Third Ancestor Pagoda, and the world where Li Qing lived was also destroyed.

"Have you failed? It has been three thousand years. Fellow Daoist Lin has been in the tower for three thousand years. Unexpectedly, he still failed to break through the Taoist barrier." Hong, Pan, and Yuan, the three creatures who had broken through the True Immortal Path, saw the Third Ancestor Tower shaking. result.

Liu Tong also sighed: "In this case, Lin Fusheng will not be able to get the Three Treasures. He is not the creature that the Third Ancestor Pagoda is waiting for. It is a pity."

Liu Tong already knows the power of the three treasures in the tower. If he is blessed by the three treasures, Li Qing's combat power will definitely rise to the next level.

The sky is wailing, the wind is roaring, and the world is collapsing over time.

Li Qing looked up at the sky and felt the dissatisfaction of the Third Ancestor Pagoda's weapon spirit. The Third Ancestor Pagoda naturally wanted to find a living being who would inherit the ways of the Three Ancestors. Obviously Li Qing could get through, but Li Qing refused.

 “The twisted melon is not sweet, so why keep me here.” Li Qing said leisurely.

Li Qing wants to get the treasure in the tower, but he doesn't want to change his ways.

With a bang, two blurry figures walked out of the river of time. Li Qing couldn't see each other's faces clearly, but the two creatures were extremely powerful and had already completed the path to true immortality.

 “I am Pan Yuan.”

 “I am Haoyue.”

 The two creatures each made a sound and immediately attacked Li Qing.

The war broke out instantly, and Li Qing was confident that he was invincible at the same level, even if he was one against two.

The result was no surprise. Even though Pan Yuan and Hao Yue were strong men in the early Yuan Dynasty and had a special understanding of the Tao, their backgrounds were not among the top twenty in the early Yuan Dynasty. Li Qing fought one against two and defeated them both. The blurry figures of Pan Yuan and Hao Yue were shattered.

 Everything is dissipating, and everything around Li Qing is dark, but he is still in the tower at the moment, and the scene around him is just like an ordinary tower.

In front of Li Qing, there are two shining golden magic weapons, a sword and a set of armor.

 The sword is Haoyue Sword, and the armor is Panyuan Jia.

"The second of the three treasures in the tower... I failed to break the barrier, why can I still see the treasure?" Li Qing was surprised.

 …

Li Qing doesn’t think that he can get the treasure just by defeating Pan Yuan and Hao Yue’s photos. If so, there is no need to set up a test in front of him.

Li Qing did not understand the rules of the Third Ancestral Pagoda. He held the Haoyue Sword and Panyuan Armor in his hands, felt them carefully, and sighed softly: "The sword and the armor are both extraordinary. They are the top magic weapons, perfectly suitable for all realms." .”

“The level is higher than the ancestral artifact, and much higher than the ever-burning lantern.”

The old weapon spirits of Pan Yuan Jia and Haoyue Sword have all died, and the prototypes of the new weapon spirits have taken shape. They only need to be sacrificed and refined by Li Qing to completely control the two treasures.

 With these two treasures in hand, Li Qing’s combat power will be upgraded.

 And there is a third treasure in the tower.

 Among the three ancestors, Hongtian was the strongest and was known as the first person of his level in the early Yuan Dynasty.

Li Qing collected the two treasures and continued walking up the tower. Soon, he reached the top of the Third Ancestor Tower.

 In the top floor, there is a futon with a living being sitting on the futon. Behind the living being, there is a box. Inside the box is obviously the third treasure.

 “I am Hongtian.” The futon creature spoke.

Li Qing bowed and bowed, cupped his hands and said, "I have met my senior."

Hongtian in front of me is a shadow, not Hongtian's real body. Hongtian in the early Yuan Dynasty, like other immortals, has long disappeared in the endless years.

"Why didn't you pursue our path?" Hongtian asked.

Li Qingyu: "Thousands of living beings all have their own way. Each living being's way is different. I am seeking my own way and do not want to follow the footsteps of other living beings."

“You think your way is better than our way, right?” Hongtian laughed.

Li Qing nodded: "I am not cultivating immortality to become the most powerful person in all ages, but I have taken a path of becoming stronger than anyone before or since. I believe that my way is indeed the strongest way."

"You are the number one person after the Immortal Ancient Era, and I am the number one person in the early Yuan Dynasty. Let us compete. If you win, you can take away the third treasure." Hongtian said leisurely.

"Okay." Li Qing nodded and asked, "How can I compare? The space here is too small and I can't use it."

Li Qing's fighting spirit suddenly rose, and he also wanted to compete with the number one man in the early Yuan Dynasty.

“Let’s compete here, you and I have a literary fight. This is the highest level of fighting.” Hongtian said solemnly.

 Wen Dou... Li Qing had never tried this kind of fighting before. He agreed, and Wen Dou followed Wen Dou.

Hongtian made a move. His move had no power. It was just a mysterious way to evolve a certain magical power. He said, "This method is called the Heaven-Destroying Life-Destroying Technique. How do you interpret it?"

"This technique is called the True Words Heavenly Seal. The magical power I cultivated when I was in the Nascent Soul Realm can break your technique." Li Qing performed the technique with both hands and said: "This magical power is called Wanli Changtu. How do you interpret it? "

"Yi'er, this magical power of mine is called the Shadow Escape Technique..." Hongtian responded calmly, evolving the picture of him using this technique.

 In this way, Li Qing and Hongtian, starting from the supernatural powers they had in the Nascent Soul realm, began to fight with each other. You attack and we solve.

Although these magical powers are the basis, they are all integrated into their own understandings. Their respective ways have long exceeded the profound meaning of the original scriptures, and their power cannot be taken lightly.

"This technique is called the Seven Steps of the Immortal Liu. It comes from Liu Sanbian, the strongest Immortal of Immortality in ancient times." Li Qing performed a picture of a starry sky. He used the Seven Steps of the Immortal Liu to resist the cruel attack of Master Tian Jue. Law.

"What a magical power!" Hongtian praised highly, "My magical power is called the guest in the world. It is unrestrained and unrestrained, born out of the world of mortals..."
