Chapter 1154: The Gentleman Changes Like a Leopard to Cultivate and Reflect, Externally Guarding Against the Five Thieves to Steal Hea

"Revolution!"

Rushou was horrified when he heard this. He took a deep breath, recalled many old things about the Immortal Qin, and suddenly said: "Lord Pangu, hmm! Your name has great momentum, and it seems to occupy a kind of mysterious energy in the new heaven."

"Lord Pangu, I trusted my father too much back then!"

"I always thought they stood high and saw far, and their knowledge and actions could be a step higher than ours, so I was plotted against and killed by the side of the Yellow Springs and Underworld River, becoming a Vermilion Bird, flying over the Earth Immortal Realm for billions of years, neither god nor ghost, before I finally understood that the ancient Five Emperors and Five Sovereigns were long outdated!"

"They achieved the Dao in the old heaven opened by the Heavenly Emperor. At that time, there was no such thing as Dao fruit or Primordial Spirit."

"This led to our bias against Dao fruits. Even if we reflected after transforming into a Vermilion Bird, we were ultimately not living people and could not see the Dao fruits completely, so we didn't understand what Dao reversal was."

"But as soon as your word 'Revolution' came out, I felt it in my heart."

"You gathering our Yu Jiuyou remnant souls is definitely not a casual move. The Heavenly Court still occupies the great trend of the cosmic realms. No matter what you are planning, you will eventually collide with the Jade Emperor."

"Now I must warn you—be careful of the Jade Emperor!"

"You must treat him as a Dao Lord of the perfect level..."

Lilith hesitated and said solemnly: "I originally treated him as a Dao Lord of the perfect level, but now that you say so, it seems I have to look at him even higher..."

"But I still want to ask, the strength the Jade Emperor has shown is only in the middle reaches of Dao Lords, and he has always suppressed the Immortal Qin with the great trend, with few strange moves. Why do you have such a feeling?"

"Because your two words 'Dao reversal' made me understand some things that Ying Zheng and the Jade Emperor were fighting for."

Rushou said solemnly: "Before the battle with the Immortal Qin, the Jade Emperor might have only been in the middle reaches of Dao Lords, but after that battle, he must have obtained a great benefit, enough for him to achieve a perfect Dao fruit."

Lilith was thoughtful. It was not surprising that Rushou could see through many things that were previously ignorant after getting the word 'Dao reversal'.

'Dao reversal' was definitely one of the most secret and critical secrets involving the Dao Lord realm.

It contained things like opposite Dao seeds, Primordial Taiji Dao fruits, etc., which were extremely secret and critical involving the Dao Lord realm.

Not to mention anything else, just the phrase 'opposite Dao seed' was enough to increase the conflicts between Primordial Spirit True Immortals in the cosmic realms by tenfold.

The Primordial Taiji Dao fruit would attract the Great Dao struggle between Dao Lords...

This was definitely not in line with the direction of the Primordial Dao Ancestor's governance.

Therefore, those who truly understood the secrets would not speak of them casually.

Of course, Brother Qian Chen was an exception. As the carrier of the final Dao reversal seal, he was not only one of the Dao Lords who knew the most about Dao reversal in the world.

His movement with Tai Yi also made him unable to help but intentionally or unintentionally reveal the secrets of Dao reversal.

To help Tai Yi's final Dao method be unsealed and destroy the cosmic realms.

This was the summoning of his future state and destruction essence, which he could not control at all...

Rushou sighed: "Times change, the Dao changes, and Heaven also changes. It's fine for the Five Emperors of the old era to reincarnate early and integrate into the new heaven. Those like my father who stayed in the Yu Jiuyou for too long have brains that are no longer usable!"

"The 'Heaven' and 'Dao' of their time was that Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian."

"The Heaven of our era is 'Supreme Dao Ancestor', 'Primordial Dao Ancestor'. Hmm! And a 'Lingbao Dao Ancestor'. He doesn't care much, sigh! Heaven that doesn't care is still Heaven. Anyway, Heaven and Dao have changed, so how can it be the same?"

"He is still using that set of the old heaven. I think his brain is muddled. He should reincarnate early!"

Rushou was very disrespectful to the White Emperor, treating him only as an old man in his words.

"The ancient Five Emperors were existences polluted by the human path and who rebelled against Hao Tian, let alone talk about them."

"When my father and the others ascended to the throne in the past, there was no path ahead, and the Heavenly Emperor would not open up cultivation realms like Dao Lord and Dao Venerable like the Supreme Dao Ancestor."

"So the path my father and the others practiced was just imitating that Heavenly Emperor, Hao Tian."

"Hao Tian was the Heavenly Emperor, so they called themselves the Five Emperors, which was the status."

"Hao Tian had virtue, so they also implemented their will with great magic power, influencing the entire heaven and earth, giving birth to the 'Five Elements', and their will, their 'Dao', was 'Five Virtues'!"

"Therefore, I have always understood the Emperor Dao fruit as the 'Five Virtues' that influence heaven and earth and operate the Great Dao like my father and the others."

"The Emperor Dao fruit is essentially the status cast by the Five Virtues..."

"Now it seems that I understood it wrongly!"

"I always thought that Ying Zheng was just clumsily imitating the 'Five Virtues' to open up a path that implemented his own will, thereby achieving the Human Emperor status, and in the future plotting the Heavenly Emperor status, eventually walking the path of the Five Emperors or even Hao Tian."

"But just now I discovered that Dao seeds and status are completely different, and Dao Lords and practicing virtue are also completely different..."

"The Five Emperors imitated Hao Tian to become Five Virtues, and operated the Five Virtues to become Five Elements, because when they achieved the Dao, Hao Tian was the only Heavenly Emperor and the Primordial who mastered the Great Dao. But when Ying Zheng practiced the Dao, the old heaven had long been destroyed, and Hao Tian had also been knocked down by the Supreme. How could he still simply imitate Hao Tian?"

"Therefore, the Emperor Dao fruit is a degraded Five Virtues, a degraded path of the Five Emperors and Five Sovereigns, because Ying Zheng is not only imitating Hao Tian, but also imitating the Supreme Dao Ancestor!"

"Or rather, he is imitating the power that knocked down Hao Tian."

"The Supreme Dao Ancestor said that that power originates from all living beings, which is 'Tai Yi', and he hid that power completely in the 'Primordial Spirit', and everyone who proves the Primordial Spirit has it!"

"But Ying Zheng obviously doesn't believe it!"

"Revolution!"

"Your word 'Revolution' is well said! How is the new heaven not a revolution of the old heaven? Isn't the Supreme a revolution of the Heavenly Emperor's life? So Ying Zheng and the Jade Emperor might have seen this kind of power that is gestated within all existing orders, the power of 'revolution', and saw that in the eternal and supreme 'virtue' of the Heavenly Emperor, there was also gestated the 'revolution' power of the Supreme Dao Ancestor."

"Therefore, that kind of power is not hidden in 'Tai Yi', but hidden in 'Tai Yi'."

"So they found the word 'Revolution' from the *I Ching*!"

"The new heaven replaces the old heaven, so the change of Heavenly Dao contains 'Revolution'."

"You said the Great Dao is like a knife, Heavenly Mandate is like a knife, and all living beings are like a knife, which is 'Revolution'! The Great Dao is like a knife, which is the destruction of the old heaven and the opening of the new heaven. Ying Zheng should have seen that the Jade Emperor had already mastered Heavenly Mandate like a knife and mastered fate; so he had to use all living beings as a knife, comprehended the secret of the Dao fruit, cast the Emperor Dao fruit, to induce Revolution as Dao reversal, to implement his own will with the Emperor Dao fruit, to attract the backlash of all living beings, and to grasp this knife at the risk of being revolutionized!"

Lilith opened her eyes again, and it had become Brother Qian Chen.

He held the umbrella, looking at the gods and demons of the cosmic realms who were like headless flies in the darkness, feeling that the Yu Jiuyou was really easy to use. No wonder everyone liked to throw all their secrets into the Yu Jiuyou.

"So you think that the Immortal Qin failed in the competition with the Jade Emperor for 'Revolution', and the Jade Emperor has already mastered 'Revolution', and may even have cultivated it into a Dao fruit?"

Rushou nodded.

Brother Qian Chen shook his head and said: "Impossible, you don't understand at all that 'Revolution' is not a Dao fruit at all. The infinite power of all living beings is real..."

He was willing to believe the Supreme.

That kind of power could not be divine abilities and techniques, because all divine abilities and techniques originate from the power of the Heavenly Emperor, which is the sublimation of the most essential and primitive violence.

If 'Revolution', or that kind of power, were divine abilities and techniques, the Supreme would never be able to defeat the Heavenly Emperor!

Brother Qian Chen was slightly dazed, and suddenly said: "However, if Ying Zheng and the Jade Emperor both have this idea, then I can guess some of the paths they might take..."

"The power of all living beings is ultimately the power of all living beings."

"As Heavenly Emperors and Human Emperors, they might have really taken the things they 'borrowed' as their own!"

"After all, the essence of 'God' is to operate the Great Dao, and the foundation of 'Human' is free will."

"'Immortal' therefore becomes an existence that operates the Great Dao with its own will... For an Immortal, implementing one's own will is very important, so that one can be called a human. But the Primordial Dao Ancestor believes that if an Immortal only implements his own will, then sooner or later he will become a 'Demon', making the cosmic realms a demon cave! So he hopes that Immortals will lean towards gods, follow the Heavenly Dao, revere the Great Dao, and have constraints on their own will."

The Jade Emperor was the Heavenly Emperor supported under his ideology, so if he used Revolution, it must be Heavenly Mandate like a knife.

Plus the Qin Qin Shi Huang's all living beings like a knife!

"The Qin Qin Shi Huang used the Emperor Dao fruit to implement his will onto all living beings. In the resistance of all living beings, he tempered a knife operated by the will of all living beings. He tried to master this knife, but obviously, Heavenly Mandate is like a knife, all living beings are like a knife. He was killed by the Jade Emperor, and even the knife of all living beings was snatched away by the Jade Emperor."

"Hoo!" Brother Qian Chen let out a long sigh and laughed: "If it were just these three knives, the Jade Emperor would still be okay."

After all, 'Revolution' cannot achieve a Dao fruit, it can only be induced as the opposite of a Dao fruit.

And Tai Yi is the final Dao reversal!

So even if Heavenly Mandate like a knife and all living beings like a knife are in the hands of the Jade Emperor.

Brother Qian Chen still has the Great Dao like a knife in his hand, as the movement of the Supreme, representing the power of the heaven and earth Great Dao to change itself!

"Forget it, prepare for the enemy with leniency. I'll just assume the Jade Emperor has gathered all three knives!"

Brother Qian Chen said indifferently: "But the three knives are only the manifestation of 'Revolution', the appearance of pursuing the Great Dao. Seeking 'Revolution' through divine abilities and techniques and the Immortal Path is no different from carving a boat to mark the sword. I didn't expect that the Qin Qin Shi Huang and the Jade Emperor, who were heroes of an era, would also make such shallow mistakes."

"Also! They are high and above, operating the fate of all living beings, and one holds great power, conquering everything with naked violence. Naturally, they believe more in the power of Heavenly Mandate and violence."

"And I, I believe in nothing, I only believe in the Supreme, so even if I can't understand Revolution, I believe that what the Supreme said is true."

As long as you believe that what the Supreme said is the truth.

Then the Great Dao like a knife, Heavenly Mandate like a knife, and all living beings like a knife cannot be controlled and mastered, let alone used as divine abilities and techniques.

Because power that can be controlled and mastered will eventually become an extension of one's own will.

And Revolution is not an extension of one's own will.

On the contrary, it is the change of heaven and earth, the operation of Easy, the change that turns into a revolution knife from the outside, aimed at you, and then you are trembling, changing yourself in accordance with the changes in the outside world.

So in the *I Ching*, the Revolution hexagram is Lake over Fire, which is Lake Fire Revolution!

But as long as Brother Qian Chen thinks about it, following the changes and the Great Dao makes him feel uncomfortable all over, his rebellious bones are acting up!

The Jade Emperor and Ying Zheng are both incomparably confident people, so even if they understand this truth, they still believe that they can influence and change heaven and earth through their own revolution.

This is also a kind of 'Revolution' power.

Thinking of this, the three 'Revolution' knives they practiced are also logical.

"But Revolution is ultimately a change of one's own will, a power that reshapes the self from the inside. There is no revolution that is outward. Can that be called revolution? The Jade Emperor thinks that others need to obey, otherwise they will be revolutionized by Heavenly Mandate, and Ying Zheng thinks that the Immortal Qin and all living beings belong to him, so implementing his will to all living beings is also called 'Revolution'..."

"This is just delusion, not to be feared!"

Brother Qian Chen thought of this, but his thinking did not continue along this line of thought, how to innovate himself, how to revolutionize his own life.

Instead, his brain turned to the *Moon Demon Painting Skin Classic*.

"The original meaning of revolution seems to be changing the texture of the skin."

"The so-called 'consolidate with yellow cow leather'."

"Moon Demon Painting Skin, heavy skin, heavy painting, although it also means changing the skin, it is ultimately painting skin. If it is tanned, it might not be impossible to integrate the meaning of 'Revolution' into it. Leather, leather, is the change of skin quality. Painting skin is imitation and deception, but if it becomes leather, what will happen?"

"I use the Buddhist school's middle view method to cultivate the emptiness of the skin, which is already a step further in the *Moon Demon Painting Skin Classic*."

"The so-called 'gentleman changes like a leopard, the villain changes like leather', if the inside is empty and the outside is leather, is it still a villain?"

"The essence of Dao fruit is the distortion of the Great Dao. Generally speaking, its foundation is still the conflict between heaven and man, that is, the conflict between the outside world and the self. The practitioner uses the lever that implements his own will, that heaven and earth Great Dao, to reach a reality that distorts the core self, and amplifies it to the extent of completely distorting the laws of the Great Dao."

"The reason why it is necessary to distort the Great Dao with the self is because the Dao fruit is round, and if you want to perfect the Dao fruit, there can only be one center, which is the self."

"Therefore, the Dao fruit can protect the self and amplify the self."

"If you use other methods to distort the Great Dao, it is equivalent to a circle having many centers. How can this be perfected?"

"But if the gathering of the self is an internal force for the Dao fruit, then the backlash of the Great Dao, which is Dao reversal, is an external force."

"And 'Revolution' is a change of internal self-innovation and external pressure from the heaven and earth Great Dao."

"The essence of this change is to require Dao Lords to also follow the Great Dao and change themselves, but this is the path of the righteous. If you think about it from the demon path..."

"This revolution might not be impossible to tan the skin of the Dao fruit!"

"The process of tanning leather is nothing more than using internal force to change the stress of the skin, using external force to change the state of the skin, stretching and shrinking, and then using medicine to change the skin quality—internal force, external force, using medicine."

"Self, Dao reversal, Revolution... It's settled!"

"I seem to have found a way to peel off the skin of the Dao fruit... but what is the use of peeling off the skin of the Dao fruit for now? The skin of the Dao fruit is nothing more than a part of the authority of heaven and earth, which is the status, a part of the brand of the laws of heaven and earth, a part of..."

"In general, the skin of the Dao fruit should have three functions. One is perfection, perfection is smoothness, the Dao fruit is round, so it can smooth out the conflict between the self and the heaven and earth Great Dao. Second is holding the Dao like a god, representing that the authority to hold the heaven and earth Great Dao will not fall on the self, but on the Dao fruit, borne by its skin, avoiding the conflict between the divine path and the self. Third is the ripening of the seed and the bearing of the flower, representing completeness, not relying on external factors, which is equivalent to a small heaven and earth!"

"In this way, peeling off the leather of the Dao fruit can at most let the conflict of the heaven and earth Great Dao fall on it, let it bear the backlash of the tribulation, falsely hold the Great Dao like a god, and act as the status of a god."

"But these functions, for the Dao Lord himself, are far inferior to the Dao fruit."

"If this skin is added to others, the effect will be greatly weakened, not to mention that the practitioner loses the skin of the Dao fruit, exposes the self to the outside, suffers the wear and tear of the Great Dao, and the Dao reversal is countless times stronger, which is also thankless. So this thing, except for letting people replace their own position and falsely hold the Dao Lord, seems to be useless."

Brother Qian Chen's train of thought didn't know where it had gone. Rushou thought he was thinking.

He didn't dare to interrupt him easily.

But as Pei Erke's magic eyes became more and more restless, Rushou felt that attracting more and more curiosity from the gods and demons of the cosmic realms was not a good thing.

He had to interrupt: "What is the Daoist thinking about? So absent-minded!"

Brother Qian Chen first recorded this little demon path inspiration, regardless of whether it was useful or not.

He withdrew his thinking that had shifted to the sky—perhaps as the essence of the Supreme Dao Dust, he could not change himself, thus triggering movement and producing demon thoughts.

Brother Qian Chen casually prevaricated: "I roughly understand some secrets of the Emperor Dao fruit. In the past, the *Yin Fu Classic* said: 'There are five thieves inside, those who see them will prosper!'"

"The Five Emperors' Great Dao is 'Five Virtues', holding the five elements to operate heaven and earth, and the opposite of the Five Virtues is the Five Thieves."

"In this way, the Emperor Dao fruit seems to be the great thief of the world, with the five thieves gestating inside, which is one of its important components."

He seemed thoughtful.

"The opposite of Wood Virtue is greed, which is endless demand from heaven and earth. In the Emperor Dao fruit, it is endless demand from all living beings;"

"The opposite of Fire Virtue is anger, which is endless destruction of heaven and earth. In the Emperor Dao fruit, it is the pleasure of wantonly imposing one's own emotions on all living beings;"

"The opposite of Earth Virtue is fear, which is suspicion of all external things. In the Emperor Dao fruit, it is the fear of loss and suspicion of everything that cannot be controlled;"

"The opposite of Water Virtue is arrogance, which is the loneliness of being above heaven and earth. In the Emperor Dao fruit, it is the arrogance of being a lonely man who cannot tolerate all living beings;"

"The opposite of Metal Virtue is jealousy, which is hatred for all things in heaven and earth. In the Emperor Dao fruit, it is the madness of not being able to be eternal and live forever!"

"No matter what the Dao fruit representing the Five Emperors is in the Emperor Dao fruit, anyway, in the Dao fruit representing the Five Emperors, there are five great thieves. The reason why they are 'thieves' is because the positive use of the Five Emperors' Dao fruit can give birth to all things in heaven and earth, representing the Five Elements Dao of the divine path nourishing and nurturing all living beings, while the reverse use is the Five Thieves, representing the Emperor Dao fruit stealing the creation of heaven and earth, and it is stealing openly... no, it is simply robbing, using its own Dao fruit to incomparably overbearingly rob the creation and authority in heaven and earth."

"This thing is based on human nature, but it also wears away human nature. It is grand but overbearing. It is held with the righteous path of heaven and earth, but when used, it has the five thieves entangled. It is violent, deceitful, suspicious, fearful, hateful, greedy. It is really very 'Emperor'!"

Rushou also nodded with emotion: "You really understand the Emperor Dao fruit. If the Qin Qin Shi Huang were you, the Great Qin might still be here."

Brother Qian Chen's expression was strange: "It would probably have perished faster!"

Rushou said: "The Dao fruit takes one's own will as the core. The essence of the Five Emperors' Great Dao is virtue, is status. A part of it is opposite to the absolute self of the Dao fruit, so the separate Five Elements and Five Virtues cannot condense the Dao fruit."

"Therefore, there are Saint Virtue Dao fruit, Yin Virtue Dao fruit, Moral Dao fruit, Fortune Virtue Dao fruit, and Merit Virtue Dao fruit."

"The Five Emperors' Great Dao can only be dismantled into Five Virtues Dao fruit and Five Elements Dao fruit. Among them, the Five Virtues Dao fruit is the interpretation of the Five Emperors' operation of heaven and earth in the old heaven in the new heaven. It is the five Dao fruits mentioned earlier, which have mostly been occupied by great powers, and it is extremely difficult for anyone other than great powers to occupy them."

"After all, the Yin Virtue Dao fruit is related to the Underworld reincarnation, and has been occupied by the Buddhist school for the most part."

"The Merit Virtue Dao fruit is the human authority held by the divine path, and it must be in the Heavenly Court."

"The Saint Virtue Dao fruit was occupied by Great Yu. I didn't compete with him back then, and it has been circulating in the human race."

"The Moral Dao fruit must be in the hands of the Supreme. He knocked down the Heavenly Emperor, and the Moral Dao fruit naturally belongs to him."

"The Fortune Virtue Dao fruit is closely related to the fate Dao fruit, and it may also be in the Heavenly Court..."

"The remaining Five Elements Dao fruit is one body, a Dao fruit, which is difficult to dismantle, representing the operation of the five elements and the origin of heaven and earth. Too many people are grabbing this. The ancient Five Emperors grabbed one Dao fruit, so they would have fought until their dog brains came out, so no one has achieved the Five Elements Dao fruit yet."

"Ying Zheng condensed the Five Emperors' status and cast the Emperor Dao fruit by using the Five Thieves, this kind of absolute self, to steal the Five Elements authority and the Five Virtues of heaven and earth, and forcibly achieved the Dao!"

"It can be said to be an absolute demon path method..."

Brother Qian Chen thought secretly in his heart: "Demon path method, then I am too familiar with it! It turns out that the Qin Qin Shi Huang and I thought of the same thing, both reversing the *Heavenly Derivation Five Virtues Profound Classic*..."

"The method Ying Zheng used is exactly the same as my *Internal Guarding Five Thieves Stealing Heaven Classic*, but I am a small thief, and he is a great thief of heaven. If I can get his *External Guarding Five Thieves Stealing Heaven Classic*, I might be able to open up a demon path true transmission comparable to the *Heavenly Derivation Five Virtues Profound Classic*!"

Rushou didn't know his little schemes and continued: "Ying Zheng is dead, but the Emperor Dao fruit has not perished, but has been stealing heaven and earth. Although he is dead, the principles of the Emperor Dao fruit have already been established. These principles are not broken, so those five great thieves still exist."

"So the Five Thieves are no longer just principles, but..."

"Status!" Brother Qian Chen said: "The status in the Dao fruit, such as the Buddhist school opening up the cause and effect Great Dao, falsely holding the divine position in it, supporting the gods and Buddhas all over the sky on Mount Ling!"

Rushou nodded: "I have a mysterious connection with the Metal Thief, and I can divide a wisp of status for you. Although the Five Thieves are everywhere following the Emperor Dao fruit, in the Qin Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, their existence is especially obvious. The reason why the Heavenly Court could not break through this mausoleum is half due to the Five Thieves."

"Alright, I've explained what I should explain. Open the Return Ruins and let me in!"

Rushou was a little tired, but Brother Qian Chen was relentless: "Don't be in a hurry, help me with one more thing..." ===== CHAPTER 1155 =====
