"Now I'm giving you two choices: one, choose a classic and forge ahead without hesitation."
"Secondly, one should select all the classics, then read through all the scriptures, integrate them into one, create one's own Taoist scriptures, and walk one's own great path!"
"How are you going to choose?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young novice monk sitting to Zhou Xuan's left, his bottom red from Zhou Xuan's slap, shifted his position, staring intently at the Shakyamuni Buddha in the Amitabha Sutra. A resolute look appeared in his clear eyes as he stood up, bowed to Zhou Xuan, and spoke:
“Master, Shakyamuni chose to read all the scriptures and walk his own path.”
"it is good!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xuan nodded:
"as you wish!"
"brush!"
The moment he finished speaking, Zhou Xuan raised his hand and pressed down. From the various imperial scriptures that interacted with the Great Dao, a ray of light separated from each of the various phenomena that arose. These ray of light materialized from the illusory into the imperial scriptures, which then floated to the front of the young novice Shakyamuni.
Just as Shakyamuni finished making his choice, Yan Qing and Subhuti also stood up and spoke in succession:
"A lotus blooms under the eternal blue sky; I, Yan Qing, am no less than anyone else!"
"Yan Qing, the second disciple under our master, has chosen to forge his own path!"
"When the Bodhi flower blooms, I reign supreme over the world; I, Subhuti, will be invincible in this world!"
"Subhuti, the second disciple under Master, has chosen to merge into one and open up the path of the Dao!"
"brush!!"
The moment the two resounding sounds landed almost simultaneously, Yan Qing, who was holding the Azure Lotus Embryo, suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of Subhuti.
Just as Yan Qing turned his head, he saw Subhuti, who had turned his head at almost the same time as him, his eyes shining brightly.
The two locked eyes for a moment, then Yan Qing frowned and spoke:
“Junior brother, you were born later, so I should be Master’s second disciple!”
“Junior brother, we both took human form from the elixir of immortality. I was a step later than you, but we took human form almost at the same time. Therefore, my aptitude is superior to yours, and I should be the second disciple of our master!”
"it's me!"
"it's me!!"
"..."
Seeing the two little ones fighting like bulls, Zhou Xuan raised his hand and waved his hand, and fruit juice and nuts flew over.
Zhou Xuan, sipping juice and munching on nuts, watched with amusement as the two little ones vied to become the senior brother.
The young novice monk Shakyamuni, who was the first to become Zhou Xuan's disciple and whose position as the eldest disciple was unshakeable, stuffed one copy of the Imperial Scripture after another into the storage magic treasure that Zhou Xuan had crafted for him.
He then grabbed the Amitabha Sutra and, while flipping through its contents, tiptoed closer to Zhou Xuan to freeload.
Having severed his Dao fruit, imperial body, and memories, Shakyamuni at this moment is a novice monk with a naturally Buddha-like heart and innate wisdom. Since he has not yet cultivated, he naturally cannot silently crack nuts.
Just then, the crisp sound of a nut cracking open startled the two people who were locked in a standoff.
"brush!!"
Awakened by the sound of nut shells cracking, the two instantly turned their heads and stared intently in the direction from which the sound came.
Upon seeing Zhou Xuan and Shakyamuni, one big and one small, munching on nuts, drinking juice, and watching the show, Yan Qing and Subhuti's cheeks twitched, and they said in unison:
"Master, eldest brother, please tell me, am I the second senior brother, or is this Bodhi demon (lotus demon) the second senior brother!"
Hearing their simultaneous voices, Zhou Xuan, knowing there was no point in watching, raised his hand and waved it. The various imperial scriptures and phenomena in mid-air instantly transformed into various classic texts, floating before Yan Qing and Subhuti. At the same time, he spoke with a serious expression:
"As your master, I must guard the Big Dipper and prevent any unusual activity in the Big Dipper restricted area. As for the minor matter of your fellow disciples' ranking, you can discuss it yourselves!"
"Read all the imperial scriptures carefully!"
"I'm leaving now!"
"brush!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Xuan, who was sitting in front of the three children, vanished without a trace before their eyes, as if he were a dream or a bubble.
Only the three little ones remained, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Under the pretext of guarding the Big Dipper, Zhou Xuan, who was now using his great magical power to hide in the void and conceal his figure, was drinking juice and eating nuts, looking at the three little ones who were looking at each other with a wicked look.
After a long while, Subhuti, the immortal Bodhi elixir renowned for its wisdom, manifested in his eyes and spoke first:
"As Master just said, such a trivial matter as the ranking of fellow disciples should be discussed by us fellow disciples ourselves."
"And at this moment, the three of us remain here."
At this point, Subhuti turned and exchanged a glance with Yan Qing, then looked at the young Shakyamuni novice, who was shorter than both of them and had a more youthful appearance, and said:
"So, it's not just the second senior brother; the position of the eldest senior brother is also within the scope of our discussion, right?!"
The three little ones on the scene are either the embodiment of an immortal elixir or the reincarnation of the Amitabha Buddha Emperor, so they are naturally not lacking in wisdom.
Therefore, after Subhuti spoke, Yan Qing, who had transformed from the Immortal Green Lotus, brightened up and echoed:
“That’s right. Since it was a decision we made ourselves, then our eldest brother’s actions should also be included!”
Upon hearing their words, the young novice monk Shakyamuni, who had been watching the spectacle, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
These two guys are after me!
Chapter 51: Deducing the Layout, the Method of Reversing Three Lifetimes!
Just as Zhou Xuan was drinking his beverage, cracking nuts, and watching with great interest the three young monks, Shakyamuni and Shakyamuni, discussing who was the eldest brother.
Suddenly, Zhou Xuan was slightly taken aback.
Because, at that very moment, Zhou Xuan heard a familiar system notification:
"Ding! The host has obtained the flawless immortal artifact, the Immortal Seal!"
"It's time!"
Hearing the system notification in his ear, Zhou Xuan silently recited in his mind:
"System, bring up the properties panel."
As soon as he finished speaking, intricate runes and Dao patterns appeared before Zhou Xuan's eyes.
This eventually formed a semi-transparent light film, similar to a game panel.
……
Name: Zhou Xuan
[Combat Strength: Peak of the Second Emperor]
[Techniques: Ancient Sun Scripture, Ancient Moon Scripture, Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique...]
[Weapons: Supreme Emperor Seal, Immortal Ascension Seal...]
[Miscellaneous items: Elixir of Immortality for True Dragons, Elixir of Immortality for Ten Thousand Years...]
[Mission: The host has kept the Great Emperor's combat strength hidden for a thousand years and will receive all of Emperor Ye's insights.]
……
Looking back over the years, I haven't brought up the system panel to check anything.
Zhou Xuan focused his attention on the combat power section, after receiving various system rewards, various imperial scriptures, and the immortal power of the Immortal King collected from the Azure Lotus Immortal Medicine and the Bodhi Immortal Medicine.
At this moment, Zhou Xuan's combat power is only one step away from the level thirteen Heavenly Emperor.
"Although we are only one step away from the Heavenly Emperor's fighting strength."
"However, this diaphragm is as difficult to cross as an insurmountable barrier."
"Only by defying the heavens and living a second and third life without relying on the elixir of immortality, can one leverage the accumulation of these three lives to achieve ultimate sublimation, transcend the extremes of battle power, and prove oneself as the Heavenly Emperor!"
As the voice rang out, Zhou Xuan's mind stirred slightly.
The two great incarnations, Taiyin and Taiyang, silently manifested themselves.
Looking at the incarnations of the two ultimate Daos, Taiyin and Taiyang, respectively, Zhou Xuan's mind was filled with the two ultimate Dao texts, Taiyin Zhenjing and Taiyang Zhenjing.
Within his eyes, the yin and yang, and all sorts of Dao patterns, emerged.
In the next instant, Zhou Xuan's aura changed. The peerless holy body blood aura and the Taiyin Taiyang Dao emanating from his body suddenly transformed into a terrifying demonic wave that devoured the heavens and the earth.
Clearly, Zhou Xuan's combat strength, as assessed by the system, has reached the peak of the Second Emperor.
He was using the Taiyin Taiyang Emperor Scripture, which he had obtained the longest, and the "Devouring Heaven Emperor Scripture," created by the little girl from later generations, which could absorb and fuse infinite physical origins into one, to transform his own physique into a chaotic body. Together, they were deducing the method of physical transformation.
Zhou Xuan planned to use this method to defy fate and live a second life without relying on the elixir of immortality, while his lifespan was still abundant.
"Huh~!!"
Time passed, the sun and moon revolved, and finally, atop the Ninety-Nine Dragon Mountain...
Zhou Xuan, whose eyes were filled with various imperial inscriptions and profound principles, let out a long breath:
"With the help of the two great mother scriptures of the human race, Taiyin and Taiyang, as well as the cultivation experience of the little girl who later became the Heavenly Emperor of Nanling, and the various imperial scriptures I have now mastered, I have observed the transformation of the immortal medicine and the formation of the golden body through faith... and finally perfected the method of the transformation of the chaotic body."
At this point, within his eyes, the light of the Yin and Yang condensed into a Yin-Yang fish, and various runes appeared in turn.
At the same time, the yin-yang fish in Zhou Xuan's eyes spun faster and faster, becoming increasingly blurry. Finally, the two yin-yang fish trembled violently and disintegrated into the most primordial and fundamental chaotic radiance.
"brush!!"
The moment when Yin and Yang meet, reversing the chaos.
With chaotic light manifesting in his eyes, Zhou Xuan suddenly turned his head to look at the ancient Big Dipper star in front of him.
In that instant, Zhou Xuan actually sensed a familiar fluctuation on this enormous ancient Big Dipper star.
That fluctuation was none other than Zhou Xuan's Chaotic Body, which was reborn in his second life through reverse cultivation!
"The ancient star of the Big Dipper was actually forged from the fallen Chaos Being?!"
With chaotic light emanating from his eyes, Zhou Xuan swept across the land of Beidou and clearly saw that the essence of the five continents on the ancient star of life in Beidou was the five secret realms of the Chaotic Body.
"Such a feat must have been accomplished by an ultimate being. I wonder which being it was that forcibly fused a chaotic body into the ancient Big Dipper."
A glimpse of the ancient star of life in the Big Dipper reveals that it was formed in the instant of the fusion of chaotic matter.
