Shen Lian pondered: "It is inevitable to decline from the peak of prosperity, but how did Tianting decline?"
Zi Ling glanced at Shen Lian lightly and said quietly: "If the Emperor of Heaven wants to control the way of Heaven and rule all living beings, there will naturally be resistance, just like human dynasties will encounter uprisings. Except for the Buddhist and Taoist families, the demon clan has no control over the rule of Heaven. Resistance has never stopped since the establishment of the Heavenly Emperor. There was even a demon clan great sage who entered the Heavenly Court and entered the depths of the Heavenly Court."
Shen Lian added: "Since the Emperor of Heaven is nearly invincible, and the Great Sage of the Demon Clan is only comparable to immortals and Bodhisattvas, even the Emperor of Heaven should have many subordinates who can rival him. How can the Great Sage of the Demon Clan attack the depths of the Heavenly Court? "
Zi Ling smiled slightly and said: "The Great Sage of the Demon Race is already the supreme one among the demons. When a demon race enters this realm, their mana and magical power will continue to improve without limit. Even the most tyrannical Great Sage of the Demon Race can challenge Lord, Buddha, it can be said that the demon clan’s cultivation in the great holy realm is endless.
And the great sage of the demon race not only has noble blood and great talents, he also learned the Tao from a Taoist master. He is also the head of the Buddhist and Taoist families. His achievements are so high that only a few have traveled across the universe and the stars, so he is in heaven. Although there are many talents in China, there are very few who can rival him. Moreover, he has six sworn brothers, all of whom are great saints of the demon clan. Each one of them has magical power that is not inferior to his. Although they did not enter the heaven with him, But he still made Heavenly Court fearful and involved some of the troops, allowing him to turn Heavenly Court upside down. "
Shen Lian said: "No matter how powerful the great sage of the demon clan is, he did not overthrow the heaven. So what happened next?"
Zi Ling sighed: "The great sage of the demon tribe was still suppressed, but it is said that the one who took action was not the Emperor of Heaven, but I don't know who it was. Since then, the prestige of the Heavenly Court has been greatly damaged, and its dominance has been shaky. Until later The sudden disappearance of the Emperor of Heaven finally caused internal strife in the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Court that ruled the heavens was also shattered. "
Shen Lian still had a doubt in his mind. He asked, "Is the reason for the civil strife in Heaven because of the Book of Heaven?"
Zi Ling said: "Yes, the Book of Heaven is the source of the destruction of the Heavenly Court. The Emperor of Heaven named the fragment of the Book of Heaven the Golden Que and the Jade Book. From this, countless wonderful magical powers of the immortal family were derived, and many magic weapons were created. The Golden Que and the Jade Book can be said to be It is the foundation of the operation of heaven. Whoever obtains the Golden Palace and Jade Book may become the next emperor of heaven. This is a temptation that no living being can refuse, and it has caused a catastrophe that affects the heavens and the world. You may not know, but we. The heaven we are in now is actually just one of many heavens in the past.”
Shen Lian was shocked and said: "Many heavens?"
Zi Ling smiled and said: "Because this world is not the only place where enlightened beings appear. In the galaxy, there are countless places similar to where we are in the world, where many powerful beings were born and have extremely long lives. The Emperor’s ambition is beyond anyone’s imagination, and he spreads the rule of Heaven to these places.”
Shen Lian nodded slowly.
Zi Ling said leisurely: "No one knows how big the territory the Emperor of Heaven will eventually rule. In order to maintain his control over all living beings, he spent countless spiritual materials and practiced one after another according to the appearance of the original Heavenly Court. A magic weapon named 'Heaven', and then the projection of the Golden Palace and Jade Book is separated into a trace, which serves as the core of these heavenly magic weapons.
The Tianhe is the channel that communicates with many heavens. It is visible to the naked eye, but difficult to enter. It is between reality and reality. It was originally opened by the Emperor of Heaven himself. As the Emperor of Heaven's boundless power grows, it becomes wider and wider, running through almost every corner of the universe. A corner, thus extending the rule of heaven.
In addition, he and the four Heavenly Emperors also transformed into countless avatars to sit in each Heavenly Palace, and then recruited powerful creatures in each Heavenly Palace to serve as the 365 righteous gods of the Heavenly Palace, making them enter the immortal and divine ways, and with the help of the Heavenly Palace With their power, these powerful creatures can avoid Tao tribulations, enjoy peace and happiness, and rank among the immortals, but they must also abide by the laws set by the Emperor of Heaven and lose part of their freedom at the same time.
This is precisely the reason why those powerful seniors want to escape the Great Thousand. They have eliminated the Tao Tribulation and have completed their practice in this world. They do not want to be bound by the majesty of the Emperor of Heaven, so they can only leave this world and find another place. Elsewhere, I can feel at ease.
This tradition has also been passed down.
And only after leaving this world can we realize the vastness of the universe and be able to pursue a higher realm, so when we reach that point, we have to leave. "
Shen Lian thought to himself that this Heavenly Emperor's desire for power was so great that it was rarely seen in ancient times. He not only wanted to rule all living beings, but also ruled Taoist beings. As the eternal ruler, if he could maintain such a rule, even if he could not be like Taoist masters and Buddhas, Such detachment is enough to comfort my life.
"It was after the destruction of Heavenly Court that Patriarch Qingshui entered this place and saw the projection of the Golden Palace and Jade Book. After some enlightenment, he created the Taixu Divine Strategy. It is precisely because it was just a projection that Patriarch Qingshui was able to gain something in a short time. If he saw What she has arrived at is the true form of the Golden Palace and Jade Book. I am afraid it will take her thousands of years to stop being immersed in the Taoist meaning and regain her consciousness," Zi Ling said.
After hearing this, Shen Lian still had many doubts in his mind. For example, the Emperor of Heaven disappeared, the gods fought for the Golden Palace and the Jade Book, and the internal strife led to the destruction of Heaven. However, it should not be as dilapidated as it is now, and how could an invincible creature like the Emperor of Heaven disappear so easily? No trace, there are too many secrets in it.
Maybe it wasn't that Fairy Zi Ling hid something from him, but that she didn't know much either.
But now that I think about it, since the Golden Palace and Jade Book is so valuable, even a trace of projection can make Patriarch Qingshui realize Taixu's magical strategy, then Ye Liuyun is not afraid that he will be tempted and not give it to him after getting the Golden Palace and Jade Book
Shen Lian felt that he had uncovered a bit of the fog, and then fell into an even bigger fog.
At this time, Fairy Zi Ling held Shen Lian's hand again, turned into an afterimage, and left quickly.
Then there was a loud noise, and a huge pit appeared where they were just now, rolling up countless sand and dust. Then there was a palace, which slowly emerged from the deep pit. It was the Lingxiao Palace of Yuming Immortal Lord.
This Lingxiao Palace is originally the core of the Heavenly Palace, and the Golden Tower and Jade Book is the core of the Lingxiao Palace. As long as the Jade Ming Immortal Master gets the projection of the Golden Palace and the Jade Book, he can recreate the complete Heavenly Court in this world and become a new generation of this world. The Emperor of Heaven, although not as powerful as that one, is still an extremely powerful being. By then, Lu Jiuyuan's status as the number one person in the world will also be shaken.
Even just re-establishing the Heavenly Court in this area would have countless benefits. At least it would allow them to avoid Taoist calamity and eliminate the worry of diminished magic power.
