Chapter 874

But if Zhuangzi, the Daoist saint from three thousand years ago, were to be resurrected, he would truly have no chance of winning at all.

Not to mention Zhuangzi's terrifying cultivation at the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm, just his influence in the Daoist gate of the world is something no faction can contend with.

Never mind him; even if the Demon Emperor Ying Shuntian from five hundred years ago were resurrected, he would not dare to act presumptuously in front of Zhuangzi.

However, he was a man of deep schemes, and he soon returned to calm, gazing at the Bai Yu Platform.

He admitted that Zhuangzi was indeed brilliant, being able to comprehend such heaven-defying supernatural powers as human reincarnation.

But Old Immortal Nanhua has lived for three hundred years and still has not realized his past life.

Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly—who knows if it was Zhuang Zhou dreaming of becoming a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of becoming Zhuang Zhou.

Who can guarantee that Old Immortal Nanhua will definitely be able to remember his past identity?

The sixth private room in the South District.

Luo Xian revealed an expression of extreme shock again.

Previously, she always thought that Di Shitian's strength was invincible in the world, at least in the Great Han Jianghu, there were no opponents.

But this time listening to the storytelling at Tongfu Inn completely changed her mind.

Just from what is known so far, there are two great experts: the Palace Master of the Search God Palace and the Demon Lord of the Demon Heart Palace.

The strength of these two people can be described as unfathomable, and they may not be inferior to Di Shitian.

Now, another world-shaking secret has been exposed to her.

In the Great Han Jianghu, there is also an Old Immortal Nanhua who may break through at any time.

And once this person realizes his past identity as Zhuangzi, he can immediately prove his path to the peak of the Quasi-Emperor realm and be invincible in the human world.

"Too terrifying. This matter must be reported to the Sect Master as soon as possible. We must never offend this Old Immortal Nanhua."

Luo Xian whispered, feeling that there were more and more things that needed to be reported.

On the Bai Yu Platform.

Su Chen sipped his tea leisurely, scanned the audience, and said again:

"Regarding this Old Immortal Nanhua, there is another strange story."

"He is the reincarnation of the Daoist saint Zhuangzi from three thousand years ago, so he was born with knowledge and went to Mount Bi alone to practice at the age of seven."

"For three hundred years, he has not taken a single step down Mount Bi, living in seclusion and independence, a carefree immortal."

"Until more than ten years ago, a man from Julu named Zhang Jiao went into the mountains to collect herbs and accidentally entered the immortal mansion."

"He saw an old man in the cave with green eyes and a childlike face, holding a staff, looking very immortal, so he determined that he was an immortal and asked for his help."

"This old man was Old Immortal Nanhua. Having practiced for three hundred years, seeing Zhang Jiao as fate, he asked Zhang Jiao what he wanted."

"Zhang Jiao was also quite extraordinary."

"He was originally a failed scholar, but he cared about the world and had the ambition to save the world and bring peace to the people."

"Hearing Old Immortal Nanhua's question, he immediately expressed his request for a method to save the world and bring peace, in order to save the suffering people of the world."

"Old Immortal Nanhua saw his sincerity and gave him an immortal method he created himself, called 'Taiping Essential Arts'."

"This 'Taiping Essential Arts' can be called an immortal method that covers the world, divided into three books: Heaven, Earth, and Man."

"The Book of Man is divided into upper and lower volumes; the upper volume has strange arts such as drawing talismans to heal wounds, and the lower volume has cultivation methods for refining armor and increasing strength."

"This Book of Man is the simplest of the three heavenly books, and Zhang Jiao practiced it most proficiently."

"Relying on the strange arts of drawing talismans to heal wounds recorded in it, he cured countless patients, thereby gaining a large number of believers and laying the foundation for the Taiping Dao."

"At the same time, he also used the secret arts recorded in the lower volume of the Book of Man to train a group of elite Yellow Turban strongmen."

"This secret art can stimulate the potential of the body, allowing ordinary people to possess strength comparable to a Grandmaster, or even a Wu Wang, within a few years."

"The Book of Earth is also divided into upper and lower volumes."

"Cultivating the upper volume can control the earth's veins; with one thought, one can move mountains, and with one thought, one can divert rivers."

"Cultivating the lower volume allows all things on earth to be used as arrays, and one can be in the most favorable terrain at any time and place, occupying all the advantages of the terrain."

"But this Book of Earth is ten times more difficult than the Book of Man, and Zhang Jiao studied it for many years without finding a way."

"The Book of Heaven is also divided into upper and lower volumes, which is also the most difficult part."

"The upper volume of the Book of Heaven records secret arts for calling wind and rain and deducing heavenly secrets."

"The lower volume of the Book of Heaven records secret arts for Qi Men Dun Jia and changing destiny against the heavens."

"This changing destiny against the heavens can not only change one's own destiny and forcibly extend one's life, but even change the great numbers of the Heavenly Dao, which can be called a heaven-defying method."

"Zhang Jiao originally wanted to practice the 'Taiping Essential Arts' with concentration until the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man were all completed before carrying out the great event of changing the world."

"But he did not expect a disciple named Tang Zhou to betray him and report the Taiping Dao's conspiracy to rebel to the imperial court."

"The leader of the internal response in the capital, Ma Yuanyi, who was betrayed, was directly torn apart by chariots, and thousands of other Taiping Dao backbone members were lost, and Taiping Dao believers were publicly arrested."

"Zhang Jiao was forced to rebel in advance."

"But he practiced two volumes of the Book of Heaven of the 'Taiping Essential Arts', initially understood the mysterious secrets, and knew that the Great Han still had sixty years of destiny."

"In order to successfully overthrow the imperial court's rule, Zhang Jiao risked using the heaven-defying destiny-changing method in the lower volume of the Book of Heaven, directly cutting off fifty years of the Great Han's destiny."

"But this method is a heaven-defying method, and Zhang Jiao himself was also severely backlashed, and his destiny was exhausted."

"Therefore, the failure of the Yellow Turban Rebellion was precisely because Zhang Jiao's destiny was exhausted and he was destined to be destroyed."

"And the Great Han could have supported for another sixty years, but was cut off by Zhang Jiao's heaven-defying fifty years of destiny, and thus chaos arose, almost at the end."

"Back then, Old Immortal Nanhua knew that the method of 'Taiping Essential Arts' was too shocking, and warned Zhang Jiao to use it cautiously. If he were defeated, he should destroy the 'Taiping Essential Arts' and not pass it on to the world."

"But Zhang Jiao was determined to overthrow the Great Han, and before he died, he scattered the six volumes of the heavenly books across the world with his last magic power, giving them to those with fate, hoping that they could save the common people."

As Su Chen's voice fell, the hall exploded again.

Taiping Essential Arts!

Everyone did not expect that Zhang Jiao had obtained such terrifying immortal arts from Old Immortal Nanhua.

Although Zhang Jiao spread across the Nine Provinces in the name of the Great Virtuous Teacher, very few people had truly seen him.

The reputation of him in the Jianghu was mostly that of a Jianghu swindler.

Now the truth finally came out.

Zhang Jiao really obtained heaven-reaching and earth-moving terrifying immortal arts from Old Immortal Nanhua.

The "Taiping Essential Arts" is divided into three books: Heaven, Earth, and Man, and each book is divided into upper and lower volumes, totaling six volumes.

Taking out any one of the volumes, its power can be called world-shaking.

For example, the secret arts recorded in the lower volume of the Book of Man can stimulate the potential of the human body, and in just a few months, one can possess strength comparable to a Grandmaster, or even a Wu Wang.

How astonishing is this?

The immortal demon Yao Yue and the Eastern Sect Master who suppressed the Great Ming Jianghu only had the Wu Wang realm.

And as long as one uses the secret arts in the lower volume of the Book of Man, even ordinary people can achieve this in a few years.

If Zhang Jiao were allowed to lurk for decades, he could at least cultivate tens of thousands of Yellow Turban strongmen comparable to Grandmasters.

Thinking of the scene of tens of thousands of Grandmasters and Martial Kings charging into battle, who could not be terrified?

Of course, strength comparable to a Grandmaster and a true Grandmaster-level martial artist are completely different.

One side is stronger in military formation, and the other is stronger in single combat.

In a melee of less than a hundred people, a martial arts Grandmaster is definitely stronger than a Yellow Turban strongman.

Between a hundred and a thousand people, both sides have their own victories and defeats.

But as long as it exceeds a thousand people, the Yellow Turban strongmen form a military formation, and the same number of martial arts Grandmasters cannot be their opponents.

And the Book of Earth and the Book of Heaven are countless times more powerful than the Book of Man.

After the upper volume of the Book of Earth is practiced, one can change the terrain at will, move mountains with one thought, and change river courses with one thought.

After the upper volume of the Book of Heaven is practiced, one can change the weather at will, call wind and rain with one thought, and bring down thunder and lightning with one thought.

Such abilities are completely beyond the imagination of the Jianghu heroes.

Because this is not a martial arts method at all, but an immortal arts method.

It is even called a world-shaking level among immortal arts, which cannot be mastered by ordinary people.

However, the most powerful one is the lower volume of the Book of Heaven.

After the lower volume of the Book of Earth is practiced, one can directly use the earth as an array, occupying all the advantages of the terrain no matter where one is.

Although this is invincible, it is still within the acceptable range.

And if the lower volume of the Book of Heaven is practiced, one is simply no longer a person in the human world.

Not only is one proficient in miraculous Qi Men Dun Jia arts, but there is also a method of changing destiny against the heavens.

One can change one's own destiny, and even change the national destiny of the imperial dynasty. ===== CHAPTER 876 =====
