The holy light of heaven shines on the water of Xuanwu Lake, and many sacred immortals and Buddhas appear around it. These people have left their names behind for ten thousand years, and in a certain period of time, they even took the lead.
From the dense aura of the lake, one can vaguely see the angels in heaven besieging Shen Lian and Bai Lianhua.
Even with the depth of their cultivation, they dare not get involved in it. They can only watch from a distance and see some clues. Compared with here, the petty quarrels in the imperial city were almost ignored by them.
Queen Mother and Luluo also approached the lake, and suddenly their hearts moved. They saw an old Taoist with white beard and white eyebrows standing on the rooftop in the clouds of the Zixiao Palace among the three peaks on the edge of Xuanwu Lake.
The old Taoist has the shape of a turtle and a crane, and is tall. In addition to his air of elegance, he also has a heroic spirit, which is quite unusual.
The Queen Mother said to Luluo beside her: "This battle actually alarmed Zhenwu."
Luluo said: "Emperor Zhenwu is here too, where is he?"
The Queen Mother said, "You can't see it."
After she finished speaking, her spiritual thoughts reached the old Taoist place in an instant, and the clouds and smoke condensed into shape, but they were not noticed by outsiders. The Queen Mother bowed slightly and said, "Why is the Emperor here?"
The old Taoist said calmly: "I am just the manifestation of the spiritual consciousness left by Zhenwu thousands of years ago. You don't need to call me Zhenwu."
The Queen Mother smiled faintly and continued without arguing: "So, fellow Taoist, how long do you think Aloha will take to suppress them?"
The old Taoist seemed a little distracted and said: "How could it be possible? Aloha can't suppress him."
The Queen Mother asked curiously: "Fellow Taoist, can't you see that those two people are just in the Taiyi realm, and have not even attained coexistence with the world? How can they fight with Aloha, an existence that has endured countless tribulations?"
The old Taoist said with a smile: "I saw that young man ten thousand years ago, and he is indestructible."
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Friends, you are kidding. Throughout the ages, except for the Taoist Lord Buddha, who may not even have ten fingers has achieved such achievements. Who is not awe-inspiring in the heavens and known to everyone?"
The old Taoist shook his head and said: "Back then, he was just a flash in the pan, and he tried to cut off the past. There are not many traces left in the world. It's normal that you haven't heard of him. If I hadn't been transformed by Zhenwu Divine Consciousness, I wouldn't be able to remember him."
The Queen Mother was shocked: "Is there really a way to cut off the past in this world?"
The old Taoist smiled slightly and said: "Both Sakyamuni and Taoist Master Taiyi have used this method. It is not unprecedented."
Cutting off the past is a method that only exists in imagination. The reason why some practitioners come up with this idea is precisely because there are magical powers or Taoist secrets in the world that can trace back time and go back to the past. That could kill a powerful being in the past and change the future.
Of course, the cost of using this method is also extremely terrifying. It's not ruled out that someone would do this.
So some people imagine that after they achieve greatness and cut off their past, there will be no weaknesses.
The Queen Mother said: "I have always heard of this method. Since Taoist Taiyi and Buddha have both used it, what is the mystery behind it?"
The old Taoist did not hide anything from the Queen Mother, and said leisurely: "I ask you, do you know the deeds of Taoist Taiyi and the Buddha before they transcended."
The Queen Mother said: "I know a little bit. It is said that after countless reincarnations, Taiyi Taoist enlightened the world and finally transcended. As for the Buddha, he understood all the heavenly books and realized the ultimate truth."
The old Taoist shook his head and said: "Actually, you are right, but in fact, no matter how detached the Taoist master and the Buddha were in the past, it actually has nothing to do with their detachment itself. No matter what they encountered before No matter how many hardships they go through, even if someone goes back in time to kill them, they will eventually transcend. Their past is like countless rivers on the earth, but the end result is that all rivers return to the sea, boundless."
The Queen Mother said: "Junior, I don't understand something."
The old Taoist said leisurely: "Actually, to explain it with the concept of Aloha, after they transcended, they rewoven their destiny through the long river of time. No matter what happens, going down the long river of time, they are destined to become Buddhas at that node. With Taoist Master, nothing else will happen, because any accidents have been accounted for by them."
The Queen Mother said: "Senior, no matter what efforts we make, we have actually become Tao masters. That practice is just a lie after all."
The old Taoist smiled faintly and said: "How could it be possible? You still don't understand. They had the results first before they started to make up the causes of the past. And when they reached that stage, they already had the appearance of sentient beings, so anyone could become them. Of course. What I said may not be entirely correct, this is just Zhenwu’s understanding.”
The Queen Mother said again: "You said that boy tried to cut off the past, so he failed?"
The old Taoist said: "Of course it didn't succeed, and it's almost impossible for anyone to succeed. Even though the emperor was so majestic, he couldn't get what he wanted before Taoist Taiyi and Buddha became enlightened. What's more, the achievements of the latter two were increased out of thin air. Higher difficulty. Therefore, unless immeasurable calamity breaks out and overturns everything, no one should be able to transcend it."
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief. Since she began to practice, she has been moving towards the supreme transcendence. If the way forward is completely cut off, that would be a despairing thing. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, she believes that she will make it to the end.
Not only does she have this idea, all the sacred immortals and Buddhas who have achieved Taiyi have this thought to some extent.
Because at this stage, it has become the world of its own, can create things, and has almost seen through most of the secrets of the heaven, earth, and universe. Although it is not omniscient and omnipotent, it is moving in this direction.
Then she asked: "If the senior is right, then why doesn't the current Shen Lian show the characteristics of being invincible?"
The old Taoist smiled bitterly and said: "This is also something that I am extremely puzzled by, but his essence is still the same as it was ten thousand years ago, and I am sure that he is not an incarnation."
The Queen Mother said: "Could it be that his strength was greatly damaged and he fell from a state of indestructibility?"
The old Taoist shook his head and said: "Since it is invincible, how can it be possible for his practice to regress? Even if Zhenwu has been practicing for so many years, he has only touched the threshold of being invincible, and he is still half a step away."
When he said this, he couldn't help but sigh. Half a step away, there were thousands of mountains and rivers. It is difficult to seek the Tao. Only the more advanced you are, the more you can understand the hardship, pain and despair of every step you take.
… …
The weapon of the angels is the cross. Their power is very special. They have an irresistible power of judgment, which seems to be related to cause and effect, but not entirely.
Shen Lian could still resist, but Bai Lianhua was almost completely restrained in the face of this power.
She kept vomiting blood, but there was nothing she could do.
