Chapter 1207: Past Events, Rebellion of Lao Ai; Dao Fruit Revives, I Fight the Long Huang?
Qian Chen's thoughts moved, and he guessed the truth Lü Buwei wanted to tell him.
It was still the truth of holding One and non-action versus holding strongly and acting.
Lü Buwei had two great achievements in his life: one was opening the Immortal Path, establishing the realms and classes for countless cultivators; the second was creating Immortal Qin.
Now millions of years have passed, Immortal Qin has already fallen, and even the famous Qin Qin Shi Huang, who could be called the peerless Emperor Dao Fruit, was buried in this Qin Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum.
But the Immortal Path is vibrant, and the class law has spread throughout the cosmic realms, becoming the orthodox cultivation.
This is the difference between action and non-action!
Immortal Qin acted, but could not "hold One."
Therefore, after making rapid progress in Immortal Path technology, creating countless wonders and creations, and conquering countless worlds, it collapsed after two generations due to the outbreak of internal contradictions after its own development stagnated!
The Immortal Path is non-action, holding One and acting. Even if that "One" has deviations, it is still compensated by its vigorous vitality.
At the end of Immortal Qin, even the Qin people were opposing Qin.
And the development of the Immortal Path, even Lü Buwei's enemies, contributed to it...
Qian Chen understood the truth of Lü Buwei's implicit admonition, as well as the method to achieve "non-action."
He raised his head, looked at Lü Buwei, and said: "The truth that Master Lü realized from the Primordial Spirit Dao Fruit of Supreme Dao Xie Xie Zushi is selflessness, right!"
Lü Buwei laughed loudly: "Fellow Daoist truly has wisdom roots. Selfless and non-acting, the sage is selfless, so the world follows. You ask me what I realized from the Primordial Spirit Dao Fruit of Supreme Dao Xie Xie Zushi, I can only tell you these two words: 'Selfless'! Supreme merged with Dao for the sake of all living beings! The closer I get to the Primordial Spirit Dao Fruit, the more I understand that when creating the Primordial Spirit, Supreme had not a shred of selfishness in his heart, only for the sake of all living beings, opening the Primordial Spirit!"
"And when I opened the Immortal Path realms, to be honest, although the philosophy was extreme, I also had not a shred of selfishness."
"Although the Immortal Path fell into the cage of pursuing power, when I opened the Immortal Path and respected the strong, my heart was also open and honest..."
Qian Chen nodded.
Lü Buwei opening those Immortal Path realms did indeed achieve the extreme of what he could do.
As the ancestor of the Immortal Path who opened the realms, it was not difficult to bury a few mines in the realms, or even bury dark hands to control the cultivators on this path.
In the Demonic Path, there were not a thousand, but eight hundred such means.
Such as the Sensing pass, if Lü Buwei had not firmly chosen the Truth and Illusion Dao Fruit, and just leaned a little towards the Inspiration Dao Fruit in the direction of the Divine Dao, cultivators would be controlled by the source of their magic power.
But Lü Buwei used truth and illusion as the scale and Primordial Qi as the root, making cultivators pass this pass without any future troubles, possessing the greatest freedom of development.
Sensing, Qi Refining, Penetrating Law, Golden Core...
Passing pass after pass like this, the foundation of the Immortal Path is untainted, which is extremely rare.
Among the many cultivation paths in the cosmic realms, there is a reason why only the Immortal Path has become great.
Lü Buwei is selfless and acts, so he is called Master Lü, which is well-deserved...
"But when creating Immortal Qin, I had too much selfishness."
"The great supernatural powers of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend need the qi of the Heavenly Dipper and Earthly Fiend to be refined. In the cosmic realms, only the Earth Immortal Realm has this condition. Just this one pass screened out countless cosmic realm cultivators, so that among those who attained Dao Fruits in the cosmic realms, eight or nine out of ten came from the cosmic realms. This matter made my heart uneasy!"
"Many supernatural powers and methods created by the Fang-Immortal Dao gradually became the private property of family clans and sects..."
"As the founder of the Immortal Path, the Fangshi gradually cherished their own brooms. Although we opened the edges of the Immortal Path's power, many supernatural power paths became increasingly dangerous. If ordinary people obtained them, they might bring disaster to the world."
"But in recent years, even the philosophy of the Immortal Path has become increasingly conservative, so much so that after Immortal Qin's fall, there has been almost no progress."
"This is also the fault of the Fang-Immortal Dao..."
"If it is said that the Fang-Immortal Dao only had a loss of philosophy, Immortal Qin mixed in too much selfishness. Ying Zheng's selfishness, Wang Jian's selfishness, Li Si's selfishness, various selfish desires mixed in, and even Immortal Qin's sharpest philosophy of conquest, 'rewarding for merit' and 'military merit and nobility,' was polluted. Immortal Qin's destruction was 70% due to itself, and only 30% was the merit of the Heavenly Court..."
Lü Buwei sighed: "In the past, I followed the system of the hundred schools, opened the Immortal Path, and created Immortal Qin."
"At that time, the blood descendants of the Five Emperors and the noble seeds of the people were all over the world. It was the Confucian Master who taught without discrimination and opened the precedent of passing the Dao to the secular world. There was also the Legalist Master Shang, who first opened nobility and rewarded for merit. Regardless of background, as long as one had merit to Great Qin, one could be granted cultivation methods and inheritance."
"By the time I entered Qin, loose cultivators from the six states flocked to Great Qin, and the supernatural powers and magic arts created were endless. Primordial Spirit True Immortals were countless for a time, and even from the Western Pure Land, Rakshasa ghost people came to Great Qin from tens of millions of worlds."
"This is only respecting the virtuous..."
"And although there was the loss of Ying Zheng expelling guests, ultimately, it held the bottom line of Immortal Qin being open, without discrimination, and not respecting bloodlines. Immortal Qin was thus able to sweep away the six states." Lü Buwei smiled and looked at Qian Chen: "What are these family clans in the Earth Immortal Realm nowadays?"
"At that time, the noble seeds of the six states were all divine descendants of the Emperor. Many people had the power of the Primordial Spirit as soon as they became adults. Many methods could not be cultivated without corresponding bloodlines."
"The ancient Witch Dao, not to mention those small paths of insects, souls, curses, and spells that have now entered the Demonic Path, the true imperial Great Dao, one is sacrifice, two is bloodline, neither can be achieved without noble bloodlines."
"It was Immortal Qin that swept away the six states and slaughtered those noble seeds like dogs. It was Immortal Qin that gave those blood descendants of the Five Emperors to soldiers with merit. It was Immortal Qin that scattered those nobles and forced their bloodlines to integrate into the people. The Five Emperor family clans nowadays... are just those who were cut off from many origins in heaven by the masters of the hundred schools, and were eradicated by Immortal Qin once, surviving on their last breaths!"
Lü Buwei looked contemptuously at the Ying clan and the Zhou house Ji clan who were trembling beneath the altar.
"If it weren't for the fact that this generation has deep roots and their ancestors are all Emperor Lords in the Heavenly Realm, with occasional care, this generation would have been eradicated by Immortal Qin long ago!"
Speaking of this, Lü Buwei also sighed helplessly: "But just like the Immortal Path is holding One and non-action, family clans are also non-action and holding One. That One is power, and also virtue. The so-called power is that the power of the cosmic realms is distributed according to strength. The so-called 'virtue' is the selfishness of people. People have distance and closeness. Even if Supreme merges with Dao, he still has to promote his disciples and followers..."
"Aren't the current family clans the disciples passed down by the masters of the hundred schools after we cut off the Witch Dao and forced back the Heavenly Court, generation after generation of family-transmitted classics?"
"This generation does not rely on bloodlines, but monopolizing inheritance and orthodoxy is not another kind of bloodline?"
"There is another part, which is the inheritance of Immortal Qin generals, officials, and even nobles!" Lü Buwei shook his head: "Immortal Qin's collapse also had the merit of this generation!"
Qian Chen was thoughtful and suddenly said: "Holding One and non-action, selfless and respecting the virtuous, bringing law into Dao... Although Master Lü claims to mix the hundred schools and combine Confucianism and Mohism, the foundation is always the Daoist school. This sounds like a successor of Master Shi?"
Lü Buwei smiled: "You are indeed interesting! The masters of the hundred schools are watched by many, but you happen to see that I am a successor of Master Shi, who is not outstanding among them."
He smiled with his hands behind his back: "That's right, I am a successor of Master Shi among the Dao Lords of the hundred schools. When I entered Qin, it was also because my ancestor worked under the Legalist Master Shang. My ancestor Shi Jiao followed the Legalist Dao Lord Shang Yang into Qin to reform the law, which was to break those corrupt Five Emperor family clans and the cultivation methods monopolized by divine blood nobles, break old laws, and establish new laws. After the King of Qin died, the Five Emperor family clans counterattacked."
"The Heavenly Realm sent several Dao Lords, who turned into five dragon horses and dismembered Shang Jun."
"Master Shi could only carry Shang Jun's orthodoxy and flee Qin. In the past, I used Ying Yiren as a strange commodity to be hoarded, and after forcing him into Qin, I joined forces with Li Si, used the power of the Legalist school, supported the orthodoxy of the hundred schools, and thoroughly liquidated the Qin state public office..."
He pointed at the Ying clan Primordial Spirit piloting the war chariot and said: "It is this generation!"
Qian Chen saw the Ying clan elder constantly looking at the altar, panicked all day long, and immediately knew why this generation relied on the foundation of Immortal Qin, with an attitude that Immortal Qin was not Qin, and only my old Qin was Qin.
It turned out they had been liquidated.
"But because of my selfishness, two great future troubles were caused. One was that in order to liquidate the public office and eradicate those nobles who walked the path of the divine treasury bloodline, I sat by and watched Li Si harm Han Fei."
Lü Buwei sighed faintly: "The first time I saw Han Fei, I determined that he could inherit my orthodoxy. Although this person was the synthesizer of the Legalist school, his foundation was the Daoist school. When Ying Zheng saw him, he already knew he would die, and in order to continue the family and country, he offered the poisonous plan of 'the son offering his head.' He abandoned the Daoist foundation of his orthodoxy, attracted Li Si with that unfinished Dao Fruit of the Legalist school, and enlightened Ying Zheng, planting the seed of the Emperor Dao Fruit."
"Holding One and acting!"
"He is also holding One and acting!"
"At a glance, he saw that the 'One' of the Immortal Qin system was the strongest, and Ying Zheng had the heart to be the only one supreme and the ambition to swallow the world, so he offered Ying Zheng the Emperor Dao seed, and used Li Si to establish Immortal Qin's worship of law, but abandoned the Great Dao, ultimately destined to walk into a dead end."
"The second future trouble was that in order to strike at the public office and control Immortal Qin's path, I let Zhao Ji act recklessly and introduced Lao Ai."
Lü Buwei closed his eyes: "During that time, I also went astray, forgetting the Daoist principle of selflessness and non-action. I manipulated magic and power, leading Ying Zheng onto a devious path, forcing him to endure for a thousand years. Once his Five Emperors Dao Fruit was slightly perfected, he executed Lao Ai, deposed Zhao Ji, and even defeated me. Because of this, the Immortal Qin moved forward in his hands, entering its most glorious, yet also most isolated, path."
Qian Chen said faintly: "Master Lü, how does it sound like you don't seem to hope for the Qin Qin Shi Huang's resurrection?"
Lü Buwei said calmly: "I indeed don't hope for his resurrection, at least, he shouldn't be resurrected from the Emperor Dao Fruit!"
Lü Buwei said with his hands behind his back: "The Emperor Dao Fruit is my Dao reversal. In the past, in order to find the 'reform' Dao mentioned by the masters of the hundred schools, I let Ying Zheng condense the Emperor Dao Fruit, but created such a 'monster,' a 'tyrant' who has no fear or joy and has the absolute will to carry out his own power!"
Qian Chen said: "You should know that a Dao Fruit is the condensation of a person's entire self. It is not the Emperor Dao Fruit that created Ying Zheng, but Ying Zheng who created the Emperor Dao Fruit."
"Cutting off the Emperor Dao Fruit, Ying Zheng will no longer be Ying Zheng!"
Lü Buwei said: "Ordinary Dao Fruits are indeed like this, but the Emperor Dao Fruit is different..."
He looked outside the Zhao Zhao Tianli Dao Fruit, at the Bai Di's Great Dao that had already fallen, and at the jade wall that carried the ritual of triggering the Bai Di's Great Dao.
Qian Chen also saw that jade wall, or rather, it was he who let the Ear Dao God sink this jade wall into the Yin River and delivered it to Lü Buwei's hands.
"This year the Ancestral Dragon dies..."
Lü Buwei sighed faintly: "You should know the origin of this jade wall, right?"
Qian Chen said: "Could it be that Master Lü placed this wall in the hands of Dao Lord Bodhisattva Guangfa, luring me here, so that at this very moment, we could meet?"
"Han Fei's death and Lao Ai entering the palace were the two biggest mistakes I made when I was in Immortal Qin."
"But I didn't expect that besides me, there was a second person who took a fancy to this 'strange commodity' of Yiren. Ying Yiren's bloodline had long been polluted, so he would not have become the next King of Qin, but in order to invest in this 'strange commodity,' I cleansed his bloodline, and in order to ensure the purity of the human bloodline, when Zhao Ji was pregnant with Ying Zheng, I reshaped him with the method of creation!"
"But I didn't expect that the source of polluting his bloodline was so high."
"Perhaps there is no pure human bloodline at all; our bloodlines all originate from it!"
"Long Huang?" Qian Chen had expected it early on.
Lü Buwei nodded: "It was only when Lao Ai entered the palace that I realized something was wrong. Lao Ai was a Dragon Race Dao Lord, and dragon nature is inherently lecherous, so I felt his debauchery was natural. I even indulged Zhao Ji in her affair with him, giving birth to two bastard seeds. This was because I had the confidence to protect Ying Zheng, and because the Immortal Qin needed the power of the Dragon Race. Furthermore, Lao Ai's physical body was also that of a member of the Ying clan's royal family."
"The Dragon Clan's layout in the Ying clan was far earlier than I imagined..."
"But after Ying Zheng killed Lao Ai, I discovered something was wrong. Lao Ai's desire was too strong, and his status in the Dragon Clan was extremely special. Even if it was a Dao Lord, it shouldn't have been so easy to direct Dao Lord Bodhisattva Guangfa."
"And Lao Ai was killed too easily, it was just like a trap specifically set for Ying Zheng."
"And after killing Lao Ai, Ying Zheng was able to trigger the Five Emperor Dao Fruits. When he suppressed me, he continuously used the four Dao Fruits of Phoenix Emperor, Qilin Emperor, Ying Emperor, and Long Huang. Even though I held Immortal Qin at that time and had long achieved 'Zhao Zhao Tianli,' I was still no match. At that time, I knew that Ying Zheng had been 'polluted'!"
"Although Ying Zheng was my disciple, at that time I treated him too much like a 'child,' ultimately causing our master-disciple split."
"After Ying Zheng unified the Earth Immortal Realm, he originally wanted to take the position of Son of Heaven and did not intend to turn against the Heavenly Court and Divine Dao immediately, but was prepared to win over the Divine Dao and follow the normal steps of the Three Days replacement orthodoxy to raise the Heavenly Court."
"But one day he suddenly changed his mind and turned to pursue a taboo existence..."
Qian Chen said slowly: "Emperor Dao Fruit!"
Lü Buwei nodded: "Ying Zheng's power to defeat me and grasp great power originated from the 'Long Huang.' At that time, I am afraid he could no longer suppress the 'Long Huang' and had to use the most intense way to balance it. So he set his sights on the 'Emperor' Dao that Han Fei told him!"
"Only then did we great Fangshi formulate the Fengshan Great Sacrifice for him and create the most terrifying Dao Fruit in history—Emperor."
"It was also after Ying Zheng attained the Emperor Dao Fruit that Immortal Qin's original system was completely unbalanced. Fang-Immortal Dao, generals, Legalists, and the Demonic Path, these various forces that made up Immortal Qin, finally merged into one in Ying Zheng's hands, casting Immortal Qin!"
"From then on, we Fangshi could only add oil and firewood to this warship and could no longer decide the direction of Immortal Qin."
"It was also because of this that after losing Ying Zheng and the Emperor Dao Fruit being sealed in the Qin Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum, Immortal Qin collapsed with a bang..."
Qian Chen said faintly: "So, you are worried that the one who will revive from the Emperor Dao Fruit is the Long Huang? Not Ying Zheng?"
Lü Buwei sighed: "Who wouldn't fear the might of the Long Huang?"
"After this ancient Emperor passed away for countless ages, he could still invade Immortal Qin, touch the human Dao, and even the newly born Immortal Path was almost included in his pocket."
"I even suspect that the Emperor Dao Fruit was his own pushing of the boat with the current, so that once he revives, he can grasp the power of the ancient Five Emperors and Five Emperors, which is almost the entire Old Heaven era."
Qian Chen pointed at himself: "Me? Fight the Long Huang?"
Lü Buwei shook his head and smiled: "How is that possible? The ancient Qin Qin Shi Huang, a figure comparable to a Dao Venerable, how could I expect fellow Daoist to suppress him with your own strength?"
Qian Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Also, the Long Huang might be amazing in the Old Heaven, but he is still a bit lacking in the New Heaven.
There are more than twenty existences as strong as him in the New Heaven!
And aren't there Primordial Dao Xie Xie Zushi and Lingbao Dao Xie Xie Zushi who are stronger than him?
If not, the two Demon Ancestors and two Buddha Ancestors can also make a move...
"Don't count on the Dao Ancestors to make a move..." Lü Buwei seemed to see through his thoughts: "The Dao Ancestors rule by non-action; them not making a move is much better than them making a move. The Long Huang's revival is in accordance with the laws of the New Heaven; the Dao Ancestors will not stop him, and even the Dao Venerables will rarely intervene."
"But just stopping the Long Huang from reviving, fellow Daoist can handle it alone!"
Lü Buwei did not look like he was joking.
Qian Chen raised his eyebrows, suppress the Long Huang? Can I win?
Lü Buwei gave a look, you can win.
Qian Chen was not asking him, but asking Taiyi.
Taiyi was full of confidence: "Just the Long Huang, although I haven't fought him, suppressing him is just a flip of the palm. With me, Taiyi, supporting you, just go for it!"
"Guaranteed win!"
Qian Chen was helpless in his heart: "You'd better do what you say!"
No way, taking people's things makes one's mouth soft.
Not taking Taiyi's.
Taiyi's things are his things, Qian Chen never has soft hands.
It's Ying Zheng's. The twelve golden men are all people's things, and now they are all sent to Qian Chen's hands! It is very clear that Ying Zheng is also laying out a layout.
Lü Buwei smiled: "And didn't fellow Daoist lay out for this early on?"
He looked at the Bai Di's Great Dao not far away. The Fallen Dao Fruit polluted the sacrifice that pulled down the Bai Di's Great Dao through the yellow bell. The falling of the Five Emperor Great Dao itself was also a kind of "degeneration."
Lü Buwei knew that Qian Chen had long ago moved hands and feet in all five altars. When the Five Emperor Great Dao and the Five Emperor Dao Fruits merged and the Emperor Dao Fruit emerged, those backups would play a role.
It can be seen that Qian Chen had long had the heart to respond to the calamity!
So...
Qian Chen stood up, stood under the hall of Heavenly Principles, put his hands behind his back, and said faintly: "If you want me to fill the Long Huang's pit, without enough benefits, it is impossible. Speak! How much legacy does Immortal Qin have left for me to inherit?"
Lü Buwei said helplessly: "Fellow Daoist is not the kind of person who cares about trifles. You have long had the heart to respond to the calamity, why do you have to act like this?"
He looked at the entire Qin Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum and sighed: "Moreover, since Immortal Qin has already fallen, why let it revive? Many 'legacies' were the reasons for Immortal Qin's destruction. Appearing in the world suddenly is a disaster, not a blessing!"
"Disaster and blessing are another matter, appearing in the world is another matter. Whether I have it or not, this is very important. I have a friend who loves collecting! At worst, I can give it to her to collect!"
Qian Chen said loudly.
Lü Buwei shook his head, but he saw that Qian Chen had no intention of maintaining Immortal Qin, so naturally he wouldn't care about these things.
The so-called great Fangshi is more about maintaining the Immortal Path.
For Immortal Qin, perhaps only a responsibility and a care for the old people remained.
Lü Buwei's thoughts turned, and he suddenly said: "Does fellow Daoist have any thoughts of entering my Creation Dao and becoming the eighth great Fangshi?"
Qian Chen frowned: "What are the benefits?"
"Great Fangshi have the responsibility of keeping certain taboo laws of the Immortal Path and the relics of Immortal Qin..."
Qian Chen hammered his palm: "I have too much fate with the great Fangshi! I heard that the Great Completion of Turning Creation is the threshold for becoming a great Fangshi. I am still a line away from the Great Completion of Turning Creation. Please, Master Lü, keep it for me. When I reach the Great Completion of Turning Creation, I will go to the Creation Dao and hang a position."
Lü Buwei shook his head and sighed. Is it right or wrong to introduce such a person into the Creation Dao and serve as a great Fangshi?
He found it difficult to judge.
But the Creation Dao!
It didn't have many constraints to begin with.
This was an organization he founded to inherit the orthodoxy of the hundred schools and open the Immortal Path.
After the Immortal Path was opened, he should have retired, but he was too deeply entangled with Immortal Qin, and the karma of several great Fangshi was bound to the Emperor Dao Fruit, so he was dead but not stiff, and had to run for Immortal Qin from time to time.
Let this Immortal Path civilization cheat the corpse.
And Qian Chen thought: "Next time I do bad things, I can use the name of the great Fangshi!"
"Anyway, my reputation can't get any worse! Great Fangshi, everything I do is very natural. Even if I attack the Heavenly Court tomorrow, I'm afraid the cosmic realms can understand."
"Things that Dao Lords can do, we can all do; things that Demon Lords dare not do, we dare to do."
"Acting without dying, Immortal Path special permission, this is the great Fangshi!" ===== CHAPTER 1208 =====
