Chapter 939: Dogs and Chickens Ascend to Heaven
After three bows, the world before Wei Yuan's eyes changed, and he suddenly discovered that he was standing in the air, with endless mountains and rivers below, and people densely farming and working on the earth, smaller than ants, just tiny dots, hard to distinguish with the naked eye, and could only be perceived with divine sense.
Before Wei Yuan stood a young cultivator, looking down at the world; just looking at his back, Wei Yuan intuitively knew this was the Ancestor.
The young cultivator turned his head, and it was indeed the same appearance as the Ancestor. Wei Yuan understood that sure enough, a divine sense left by the Ancestor was hidden in the statue.
It was just that Wei Yuan looked around curiously, but discovered that the surroundings were empty, with neither palaces nor thrones or immortal mountains, completely inconsistent with the Ancestor's status.
Although what was left was only a divine sense, at the last moment, the Tai Chu Palace Ancestor was so strong that he could already suppress the world; even a divine sense left behind could slowly evolve into a small cave heaven. Just like this, a bare piece of space was really unworthy of the Ancestor's status.
The Ancestor's divine sense seemed to know what Wei Yuan was thinking, pointed his finger, and a quiet small courtyard appeared in front of him, but it was just one main hall and two side rooms. There was a deep spring in the courtyard, which could be considered a decoration.
"This is the place where I finally sat and died; I still miss it a bit."
Seeing this small courtyard, Wei Yuan finally knew the origin of why the two Immortal Lords, Yan Shi and Ting Hai, particularly liked to engage in small courtyards.
It was just that later the Tai Chu Palace became more and more prosperous, and as more and more cultivators joined and the Dao paths continuously increased, the style gradually became a hundred flowers blooming. For example, the True Person Xuanyue, whose heart was set on adding a Sky Blue Hall, the more magnificent the better, which was completely contrary to the Ancestor.
Take the Creation View, for example; the main view materials were called exaggerated. And the Heavenly Machine Hall simply refined the entire hall into a magic treasure.
Compared with the place where the Ancestor finally sat and died, the residence in Wei Yuan's Xiancheng, a quiet cultivation room, was larger than the entire courtyard here. The small courtyard and the surrounding land could all be packed into the discussion hall.
Seeing this, Wei Yuan felt a bit guilty, but not much.
Mainly because this was standard in the Xiancheng, everyone had such a set, and when everyone was free, they would decorate and manage it themselves. The residences of Cui Yu, Bao Yun, Xiaoyu, and Xu Henshui were all shining with treasure light.
At this time, the young cultivator turned into a divine sense said: "What is cultivating immortality? Some people say that if you are a monarch, you are to serve one person for the world. And if you become an immortal, it is heaven and earth serving one person, so an immortal is actually a thief of heaven and earth. One person becomes an immortal, and one domain is exhausted. Everyone becomes an immortal, and one world returns to silence. Do you think so?"
This question was a bit unexpected to Wei Yuan, but after thinking about it, he said: "Heaven and earth are impartial and all living things have spirit. The so-called impartiality is that the Great Dao should operate in whatever way it operates. For example, there will be grass and trees growing on fertile soil; grass and trees grow, and the land will naturally become barren; this is the Great Dao. But grass and trees have no mistakes, and one cannot blame grass and trees for this.
Furthermore, we are all living things with spirit, and we should stand on the side of living things with spirit to view this matter. More specifically, being born as a human, one should speak from the side of humans. Now there are countless mortals in the world suffering from hunger and cold, and only one in ten thousand can step onto the cultivation path. And even if they form a Dao Foundation, nine out of ten people have insufficient support, slow progress, and can only watch their lifespan wither, unable to advance further.
In many small places, a Dao Foundation can be called a sect ancestor; it seems absurd, but it is actually sad.
In this world, the vast majority of mortals have not eaten their fill or worn warm clothes, and the vast majority of cultivators can only drift with the tide, struggling bitterly! So many things are not seen, yet they want to worry about heaven and earth; do you think this person who cultivates immortality is too idle, is the cultivation not full? With this effort of moaning without illness, isn't it good to develop mathematics, isn't it okay to lower the threshold of Dao Foundation?"
The young cultivator looked stunned, completely not expecting such an answer.
Wei Yuan was not finished and added another sentence: "Of course, I am not talking about you! You established the mountain gate and laid the foundation for the Tai Chu Palace for ten thousand generations; this is truly a great merit! Without you, where would we be today?"
Wei Yuan said while secretly observing the Ancestor's expression. If the Ancestor was really angry, wouldn't the benefits he could get fly away? This must not happen!
And the more Wei Yuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong; the immortal friend the Ancestor mentioned, wouldn't it be himself? But thinking about it again, Wei Yuan felt it didn't look like it; the Ancestor's past deeds, the core was two words: one is fierce, two is dry; where was this kind of mother-in-law time?
The young cultivator finally recovered and looked at Wei Yuan deeply, saying: "My past life was full of killing, and it can be said that I spent my whole life fighting with heaven and earth, fighting with foreign tribes. The four immortal swords were all cast with the souls and Dharma bodies of foreign tribes. So to foreign tribes, I am actually no different from a demon. To heaven and earth, I cannot be considered to have merit."
"That's not right..." Wei Yuan was fast-mouthed, and only after the words were out did he realize it was wrong, and hurriedly closed his mouth.
The young cultivator smiled slightly and said: "I am just a divine sense, and I don't have any rewards for you; I am just helping you sort out your own Dao heart, so just say whatever you want."
Wei Yuan was startled: "No reward?"
The young cultivator spread his hands and said: "Look, is there anything left here? Even if I left something back then, thousands of years have passed, and it has long been taken out and used by later generations; how could it be left until now?"
Wei Yuan was suspicious: "Then how about the Ancestor's gift back then?"
"You had just entered the sect at that time and had no cultivation, so increasing your aptitude didn't cost much. The gift every five years was enough for the mountain gate to accumulate itself; it was just a little spiritual energy."
"So that's how it is!" Wei Yuan was not disappointed; he now sat on Qingming, and ordinary immortal objects were not in his eyes. Hearing that there was no reward, Wei Yuan had no desire and was strong, his attitude relaxed, and he said: "Then I can tell the truth!"
The young cultivator smiled and said: "Just say it."
"So that's how it is!" Wei Yuan was not disappointed; he now sat in possession of Azure Void and did not even look at ordinary immortal objects. Hearing there was no reward, Wei Yuan became indifferent and unyielding, his attitude relaxing as he said, "Then I shall speak the truth!"
The young cultivator smiled at the corners of his mouth and said, "Speak freely."
