Bai Ze was slightly frightened and did not dare to mention the man in black robe again.
Taoist Master Donghua smiled lightly and said, "Please also ask fellow Taoist Bai Ze to show us the way."
Bai Ze knew that by now, he couldn't help himself. However, he is born with magical powers, can avoid disasters and seek blessings, and can clearly observe all things. Although the immortal formation set up by Shen Lian is unpredictable and can confuse these extremely skilled people, he can still find a general way out due to his innate ability.
The time and space barriers here are layer upon layer, and all the immortals and gods have turned into tangible or intangible existences and followed Bai Ze secretly.
Sometimes you will hear the roar of the sea of suffering, and sometimes you will see many scenes of hell or fairyland. All kinds of illusions are outside Bai Ze's route.
The rest of the people were secretly surprised by Bai Ze's ability. They must know that those visions are actually a real time and space that may be real or fake. If you fall into it, you will definitely be able to come out, but you will definitely be held back and trapped. Practice more time.
And if in some of these time and spaces, thousands of years of the outside world have passed in an instant, wouldn't it mean that Shen Lian could directly take the gate of heaven away.
Therefore, even figures such as Donghua Daojun and the black-robed man must rely on Bai Ze's miraculous abilities.
This kind of innate magical power, unless they are in the realm of Hunyuan Wuji, even if they are so powerful, they cannot imitate it.
… …
Shen Lian was sitting cross-legged in the void. In front of him was the gate of heaven that looked like a natural giant bell. It was surrounded by nothingness, not even the vitality of heaven and earth. He silently stared at the gate of heaven, and his spiritual thoughts had already invaded the inside of this divine object.
The structure inside this clock is densely packed and engraved with Dao marks. It seems that the essential Dao patterns of all things in the world can be found in it.
If Shen Lian wants to completely become the master of this clock, he must first find the mark left by Taoist Taiyi in it. As for why this clock is not the seal of the previous owner, the Emperor, it is a very simple reason.
If the emperor was qualified to become the true owner of this bell, he would not have fallen and would have become as chaotic as Xuandu.
Shen Lian also sighed when talking about this matter. Half of the credit for Xuandu's achievements must be attributed to him. At that time, he did not understand the reason, otherwise he would definitely not accept the mark of Taiqing Yuanshen.
Although he has obtained the seals of the three pure souls together, he will truly have perfected the realm of Hunyuan Wuji, but it will be a hundred times more difficult to transcend.
As for why this is so, it is because each of the Three Pure Taoists has their own symbols.
The Tao of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Taoist master of Yuqing, represents the original and most ancient universe, which is also chaos. Even the land of nothing can be counted as part of the Yuanshi. And the way of Lingbao Tianzun, the master of Shangqing Taoism, is to open up the real universe, the heavens and the world, or the prehistoric world from the Chaos Bell. Therefore, the Shangqing Taoist master and the Yuqing Taoist master are both opposites and unified.
It can be said that Yuanshi is one and Lingbao is ten thousand. Since it is ten thousand, it is also one. The appearance of the two is different, but the essence is the same. It can also be said to be the respective embodiments of nothingness and existence.
As for Taiqing Taoist Master Daode Tianzun, he represents Tao. Whether it is the original and most ancient universe or the real world, they all follow the eternal Tao.
As the saying goes, "There is something mixed, born in heaven and earth. I don't know its name, so I just call it Tao."
The Taoist masters of the Three Purities interpret everything in the world, and in the eyes of the outside world, they are one and the same person. But their unity is not due to some great being in the beginning, but because they each understood the essence of the world and reached the same destination through different paths.
They have understood the most profound principles of the universe, and thus are detached and have a deep connection with the natural cause and effect of the universe. This cause and effect is left in the mark of the soul. The reason why Shen Lian's Dao tribulation was so terrifying was because he possessed the two great karma of Taiqing and Shangqing. Of course, he can resist the Dao tribulation, and he is also able to withstand the Dao tribulation. He understood that Taiqing was related to the Tao of Shangqing.
But this is also a false proposition, because the higher the level of Taoism, the higher the level of Taoism and calamity, so there is no solution.
If you want to transcend the world and follow the path of your predecessors, it will not work.
He even had to use his own way to break the way of the Taoist in front.
No matter how talented Shen Lian is, it is almost impossible to surpass the Taoist masters and Buddhas before him. Of course, there are no absolutes in things in this world, and he is still ahead of anyone else in this regard.
The purpose of refining the Gate of Heaven is not to improve Taoism, but to test Taiyi Taoist Master and increase his combat power.
It's just that the Taoist master is not so easy to test. Even with Shen Lian's current ability, it is not easy to find the mark of Taiyi Taoist master in the gate of heaven.
When he concentrated on refining the clock, he suddenly opened his eyes and stretched out the index finger of his right hand. His index finger fell off his hand and kept changing, turning into a red monster with the head of a human and the body of a snake.
The monster entered the fairy formation laid out by Shen Lian.
… …
"Stop." Yun Xiao suddenly heard Kong Xuan speaking to her.
She couldn't help but turned her beautiful eyes to Kong Xuan beside her and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
Kong Xuan closed his eyes, slowly opened them, and said, "There is danger."
Yunxiao said: "How do you know?"
Kong Xuan said: "Although my eternal practice has been in vain, I have finally made a breakthrough, so my spiritual awareness is even more powerful than before. In the words of the old monk, I am about to achieve perfect enlightenment."
Yunxiao said: "That's it."
After listening to Kong Xuan's words, she did not continue to follow Bai Ze. Zhenwu temporarily moved with them and then paused.
Others were unaware of their affairs. Suddenly, time and space collapsed in front of them, and a raging river swept most of the immortals into it in an instant, including Bai Ze.
That's a long time.
Donghua Daojun and the man in black were also involved, and they watched Bai Ze sink into the river.
They each glowed with divine light and stood on the river.
The other immortals and gods also used their own magical powers to prevent themselves from sinking in the years.
A red monster with a human face and a snake body emerged from the river.
Zhenwu who was outside the river was surprised and said: "Zhu Jiuyin."
Yunxiao said: "Is this Zhu Jiuyin?"
Zhenwu Dao: "Yes, I have seen it once before, so I won't admit it wrong, but this Zhu Jiuyin should be something created by Shen Lian."
Kong Xuan said calmly: "Even Yang Jian can understand changes and transform into a big black dragon, and Shen Lian can transform into Zhu Jiuyin. What's so strange about it."
Yunxiao nodded, and then said: "This is a bit difficult to handle. Zhu Jiuyin is born with the ability to drive time, and in the long river of time, it is extremely powerful. It is not that easy to overcome it."
Kong Xuan said: "That's true, but if you cross Zhu Jiuyin, you may not be able to rush out and see Shen Lian. Fellow Taoist Yunxiao, let's rescue Bai Ze."
Yunxiao smiled bitterly and said: "The power of this long river is unpredictable and more terrifying than the weak waters. How can we save people from it?"
Kong Xuan looked at the passing time and frowned: "Please lend me the sword of a true warrior."
