Wu Yugang and Overlord Xiang Yu rushed to the thirty-six heavens, and suddenly felt refreshed, as if they were bathed in rain and wind, and the complicated aura immediately dissipated without a trace. However, in this vast world, Wu Yugang suddenly felt that there was a kind of inviolable momentum hidden in it.
This strange feeling made Wu Yuguang deeply feel that the heaven was also very insidious. After all, in this mysterious spiritual realm, the yin and yang aura was like the eight trigrams, unpredictable and full of infinite mysteries.
Although Wu Yugang was considered a bit pedantic by Yuanshi Tianzun, he was not really pedantic. However, Yuanshi Tianzun was indignant and inexpressible about Wu Yugang's attack of repaying evil with kindness.
The Overlord had long been fascinated by the thirty-six heavens. After all, when Xiang Yu was thrown into the underworld, Laojun also did something to him, but as he was an alien being, Laojun was powerless.
Now is the time to seek the advice of the Supreme Lord Lao. If the Lord Lao does not listen to his good advice, Xiang Yu can also create a new world. However, after many years in the underworld, he has seen the suffering of all living beings. Creating a new world is only a last resort.
Xiang Yu had 8,000 soldiers under his command, and even the heavenly soldiers and generals were in awe and dared not touch him easily. These 8,000 soldiers enabled Xiang Yu to sit on the supreme throne of the overlord in the world, and their bravery and fighting skills were not exaggerated.
The god in heaven was afraid that Xiang Yu would cause trouble again in the Three Realms, so he used the Buddhist mantra to destroy Xiang Yu. It also shows that the god in heaven was extremely afraid of Xiang Yu.
Xiang Yu, Wu Yugang and eight others were above the thirty-six heavens, majestic and murderous, and headed straight for the Laojun Temple in the Taiqing Holy Land.
As the eight people were walking, suddenly colorful auspicious clouds flashed in front of them, and an ethereal aura blocked everyone's way.
Wu Yugang was shocked when he saw this. He said loudly, "Who are you? Show yourself quickly, or I will treat you badly."
However, Xiang Yu did not take this sudden situation seriously. He pointed with the halberd in his hand, and murderous energy swirled up in the sky, attacking the spiritual energy blocking his way.
A calm and composed laugh came from the colorful clouds, and two people slowly appeared in the sky.
The leader held a fishing rod in his hand, wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat. He looked like a fisherman. However, this fisherman was also extraordinary, with long eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and a handsome face. Five strands of long beard fluttered in front of his chest, and his whole body exuded a transcendental aura. This person was not someone else, but the immortal from the other world, the god who had attained the Tao. This person was the hermit from the other world, Yan Guang.
Yan Guang was a poor scholar during the chaotic times of the late Western Han Dynasty. Yan Guang was a learned man and a classmate of Liu Xiu. Yan Guang had a thorough understanding of reality. During the chaotic times, Liu Xiu joined the army, but Yan Guang believed that wealth and honor were not honorable, so he lived in seclusion in order to detach himself from nature and preserve his reputation.
It is admirable that Yan Guang did not seek glory in troubled times. Even after Liu Xiu ascended the throne, Yan Guang did not try to curry favor with powerful people. Instead, he hid his identity and kept himself secret. Liu Xiu searched for many years and finally found his fishing friend in the mountains. The soldiers invited his friend to the palace.
Although Yan Guang was invited to the court by Liu Xiu, he was not moved by fame and fortune. After explaining the strategy of building a country to Liu Xiu, he left and went to farm, fish and hunt in Fuchun Mountain. This noble character of never fawning on the rich and powerful is also admired by people. After all, most of those who followed Liu Xiu to fight were just people who prayed for fame and fortune.
Yan Guang thus became an outstanding hermit among the secluded people, and Fuchun Mountain became famous because of this. It was all because of the hermit's seclusion from the world.
There was a man beside Yan Guang. He wore a square crown and a blue robe. He had white hair and a youthful face, and looked like a Taoist. He held a Buddhist whisk in his hand and looked calm. He was the famous Taoist, the master of Quanzhen Dao, the hermit immortal Lu Jian, known to the world as Huang Gongwang.
People are not familiar with Huang Gongwang, but everyone knows his famous painting Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains. Huang Gongwang was not only an extraordinary Taoist, but also had many famous paintings handed down from generation to generation. He is known as the first of the four famous painters of the Yuan Dynasty.
It was Huang Gongwang's style of transcending the mundane world and his foundation of Taoist meditation that made this Taoist stand out from the crowd and made him an immortal.
These two immortals, who had left the mortal world, had long seen through the world. When faced with the Overlord Xiang Yu and Wu Yugang who had rushed to heaven, they saw them as ordinary people who were vying for fame and fortune. After all, among the cultivators, there were also those who pursued immortality and the status of gods, and they were no different from the devil.
Yan Guang, wearing a bamboo hat, blocked everyone's way with a fishing rod in his hand and said, "Everyone, wait a minute!"
The Overlord Xiang Yu was also a warrior, and he had a lot of resentment towards the scholar. After all, Xiang Yu was also controlled by the scholar's trap and fell into a situation of being controlled by others.
"If you have something to say, say it quickly, or my men will be ruthless." Xiang Yu shook the halberd in his hand, and the faint murderous aura made people shudder.
Yan Guang smiled and said, "In the Three Realms, those who practice Taoism only want to transcend the mundane world and achieve a carefree and long-lasting state. And all of you are coming here aggressively, I think they must be here for the coveted divine position. It's fine if you don't seek such fame and fortune, wouldn't it be better to transcend the mundane world!"
Although Yan Guang was a hermit, he had a clear view of the affairs of the three realms in the world. However, he lacked the aura of fighting, which made him look a little weak.
Wu Yugang laughed out loud after hearing what this person said, and said, "It's ridiculous. It's a pity for you, a wandering immortal. The human world has been in chaos for a long time, but the gods only see the prosperity. The righteousness among the gods has been drastically reduced, but you wandering immortals ignore it and live in seclusion. It's really infuriating. If we don't do this, the righteousness in the three realms will also be reduced. In that case, how can these three realms face people?"
The Overlord Xiang Yu was angry in his heart. After all, facing the immortal in front of him, he felt pity for his misfortune and angry at his lack of fighting spirit.
Xiang Yu said to Yan Guang: "You are a pedantic immortal. If you don't compete with the Heavenly Court, justice will be reduced. You celestials still want to transcend the world, but don't want to change the environment without justice. This makes it more and more unreasonable."
Huang Gongwang was a minor official when he was alive. He was framed and imprisoned. After he was released from prison, he had seen through the struggle for fame and fortune in the world. He also happened to meet the Zen Master Wuwei, and thus he became an immortal through practicing Taoism.
Huang Gongwang agreed with what Xiang Yu and Wu Yugang said. After all, he did not have the cultivation to compete with heaven and earth, so he could only listen to the Pure Sutra explained by Laojun. (To be continued)
