Chapter 163: The Prophecy of Eternal Life Wangshu's Surprise
Heng Ming was a little puzzled after seeing this. He didn't know why these two were fighting so frantically. You have to know that at this moment they were just trying to break the formation, not to decide the purple energy. Such a fight would only make outsiders laugh at them and waste their own magic power.
Seeing that the fight between the two was getting more and more intense, and even had the tendency to affect the prehistoric world, several people present used their magical treasures to stop it, and the two men barely stopped fighting.
Just by looking at the malicious flashes in their eyes, one could tell that the fight between the two was not over, but merely paused temporarily.
Although Hengming was puzzled, Dijun at the side said, "We have broken Brother Tongtian's sword formation. According to the agreement, Brother Tongtian should retreat from Kunlun."
Tongtian came back to his senses at this moment, and looked at the triumphant Di Jun with a cold snort. When he was about to leave, he was grabbed by the sleeve by Laozi, who said calmly: "The Immortal Execution Sword Formation was broken by my junior brothers and sisters, not you. Since you haven't made any effort yet, why do you want us to retreat?"
Although he knew that the Three Pure Ones would not retreat so easily, when he heard Laozi flatly deny what he had just said, Di Jun could not help but sigh: This Taoist priest could be so shameless.
Seeing that the gods began to argue again, the primordial purple energy seemed unwilling to be discussed like a commodity anymore. Under the noses of the gods, it drilled out of the Jiujiusanpo Gourd, ignored the restrictions around it, and immediately drilled into the void, turning into a purple light and dissipating.
"not good!"
Laozi was the first to notice the abnormality of the Hongmeng purple energy. He immediately shook the Tai Chi diagram in his hand, and suddenly he saw a golden bridge that stabilized the earth, water, fire and wind, breaking through the infinite void and rushing towards the purple light in a mighty manner.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian also took out the magic weapons in their hands. A large formation was quickly set up in front of the purple light, and a chaotic river was chasing behind them, trying to wrap them up in it.
Donghuang Taiyi also reacted. Seeing that the purple light was about to be taken down by the three innate treasures, he threw the Donghuang Bell in his hand. Suddenly, countless vast bell sounds resounded through the heavens and the earth, freezing the universe, trapping Hongmeng, and suppressing the chaos. The bell sounds swept away the chaotic river, and then the bell and the flag began to fight each other.
Jie Yin also threw out a golden lotus, and while the great formation had not yet been set up, the golden lotus slowly bloomed, blocking the great formation for a moment. Zhunti then threw out the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, which made a crackling sound, and seven-colored Buddha light shone brightly, also moving the golden bridge an inch to the left.
Seeing that these spiritual treasures were blocked by others, Zi Guang seized the opportunity and immediately disappeared into nothingness, completely disappearing without a trace.
The Three Pure Ones were furious when they saw this, but there was nothing they could do as the Hongmeng Purple Qi had already disappeared without a trace. They had no choice but to put away the treasures in their hands and leave immediately, trying to track down any trace of the Hongmeng Purple Qi before it disappeared. The other great gods also followed closely behind.
In this valley, only Hengming, Nuwa, Wangshu, Bixia Yuanjun and Doumu Yuanjun were left. When the Hongmeng purple air dissipated, Zhen Yuanzi took the Jiujiusanpo Gourd and waited to be led back to the West by Zhunti before handing it over to them.
Heng Ming smiled and said nothing as he watched the gods leave. Then he turned to Nuwa, who was still a little angry, and said, "Junior sister, what did Yuanshi Tianzun do to make you so angry?"
Nuwa couldn't help but snort coldly after hearing this, and then she slowly told the story.
It turned out that when the two of them entered the formation, Sanqing knew that the Zhuxian Sword Formation would definitely be broken, so they were just pretending.
But Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun were unwilling to admit defeat and insisted on having a fight before they would give up. Only then did Hengming and Nuwa join the Zhuxian Sect and the Luxian Sect.
Unexpectedly, Laozi stopped in time after realizing that the situation was unstoppable, saving a little face for both parties. However, Yuanshi Tianzun refused to give up. He used all his strength to block Nuwa and even entangled her tightly.
When the two were fighting at the end, Yuanshi Tianzun actually broke Nuwa's hair bun with a jade ruyi, and even scratched Nuwa's eyebrow with a chaotic sword energy, which naturally made Nuwa furious.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone in the face. What's more, they are senior and junior brothers and sisters, and are also saints destined by heaven. They will inevitably have dealings with each other in the future. However, Yuanshi Tianzun actually injured her eyebrow, which was equivalent to giving her a slap in the face. Naturally, Nuwa was extremely angry.
Afterwards, Nuwa, at the cost of being injured, returned the humiliation to Yuanshi Tianzun by smashing his ear off. Yuanshi Tianzun was very concerned about his reputation and became even more angry, so the two naturally fought fiercely.
It’s no wonder that Tongtian and Laozi looked so strange, because Yuanshi Tianzun’s behavior was really too inappropriate.
After hearing this, Hengming couldn't help but sigh: "Yuanshi Tianzun is too serious. He can't tolerate being humiliated, but he can humiliate others at will. He will definitely suffer in the future."
Nuwa was in a bad mood and didn't want to stay here any longer. She bowed and said, "Junior sister, please don't stay for long. The Creation Furnace is here. You can use it yourself. Junior sisters, please don't be polite."
After throwing down the furnace of creation, Nuwa did not wait for the others to return the favor, and turned into a ray of green light and rushed into the sky, but returned to Taisu Heaven.
Seeing Nuwa leave, Bixia Yuanjun and Doumu Yuanjun bowed and then turned into light and left. Seeing the three women leave, Wangshu said calmly: "Brother, where are you going next?"
Heng Ming put away the Creation Furnace, looked at the vast expanse of beautiful mountains and rivers, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Such a beautiful landscape, if I leave now, wouldn't it be a waste of the beautiful scenery? Junior Sister, why don't you come with me to travel around?"
Wangshu agreed, and the two of them used their feet as a ruler to measure the vast wilderness.
Compared with the time when the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity just ended, the prehistoric world at this time has undergone tremendous changes.
The cultivation of all living beings naturally rises with the tide. Countless gods hope to obtain the status of saints with their infinite merits, so they start to preach and spread the Tao. At this moment, all living beings no longer need to worry about how to practice, as they all have a way forward and can naturally continue to practice hard.
However, as the number of people practicing cultivation increases day by day, the blessed land remains the same as before. Although the primitive world is expanding all the time, no matter how big a place is, if there is no spiritual energy, it is still a wasteland.
For example, the West is not much smaller than the East in terms of size, but no one is willing to leave the crowded East and enter the vast West, because the West is barren and there is no spiritual cultivation, so no matter how big it is, it is useless.
There are many practitioners, but few blessed places, so there are endless conflicts, all because of the practice environment.
Looking at the two little demons fighting over a magical herb, Hengming couldn't help but sigh: "In the chaos of the prehistoric world, even if a heavenly marriage is arranged, it is just a drop in the bucket. As long as the problem of cultivation is not solved, there will never be peace in the prehistoric world." Wangshu thought this was normal and said calmly: "Brother, you are kind, but the cultivation resources are scarce. If you want to move forward, you must rob them. Only plundering is the way for us to cultivate."
After hearing this, Heng Ming just smiled slightly and said, "Plunder is indeed the biggest and best way to cultivate, but if plundering is the end, who should we plunder? We are still Hunyuan Jinxian now, and there are still places to plunder, but if we achieve Hunyuan Daluo, what should we plunder? Should we kill each other?"
Wangshu was slightly touched after hearing this. She had been practicing Taoism until now, and except for the interactions with her two younger sisters, no one had ever discussed Taoism with her.
Hongjun's preaching does not count, because she could only listen and could not talk at that time. Although she asked Hongjun a few questions, it does not count as a discussion of the Tao.
What Hengming said now was the first time she had ever heard such a thing in her life.
Although she was cold and not good at speaking, she was the first to achieve success in the path of cultivation, and she could not give up any opportunity, so Wangshu hurriedly asked respectfully: "May I ask, Senior Brother, what is the deep meaning of this?"
Hengming was naturally happy to answer others' questions. He gently stretched out a hand, and a ball of spiritual energy appeared on it. Near this spiritual energy, there was an imperceptible little insect.
The little bug had an honest face, and seemed to be sleeping soundly, unaware that it had been caught by someone. Wangshu looked carefully but could not find any secret.
Heng Ming said, "Watch carefully. If the plundering method you mentioned is implemented, then if my palm is compared to the world, and this spiritual energy is something that the little bug can plunder, when this ball of spiritual energy is plundered, what will happen to this little bug?"
As Hengming spoke, the little insect suddenly woke up, and then followed its instinct to pounce towards the ball of spiritual energy beside it.
As the spiritual energy decreased, the little bug's cultivation increased accordingly, until the last bit of spiritual energy was consumed, and the little bug was only one step away from becoming a true immortal.
But one step away can make a world of difference. The little bug tried to devour more spiritual energy, but the spiritual energy had been completely consumed and there was no more. The little bug roared angrily, trying to find more things to devour.
Until finally, the little bug set its sights on the palm under it, opened its sharp teeth without hesitation, and bit the palm fiercely.
Watching the crazy movements of the little bug, Heng Ming asked, "Have you figured out what's going on?"
Wangshu looked confused and frowned slightly, but finally shook his head and said, "Please forgive me, Senior Brother. I haven't figured out anything yet."
Hengming was not surprised, and only said: "This little bug is gnawing at my palm now. If my palm can be devoured by this little bug, will it eat my palm completely? If I am the consciousness of this palm, and I sense the devouring intention of this little bug, then will I let it devour my spiritual energy and finally start to devour my body, or will I crush it to death before it grows up?"
As Hengming's palm closed, the little bug instantly turned into a ball of ash and disappeared.
Heng Ming said again: "If I am the Heavenly Dao, my palm is the Great Wilderness, and these little bugs are the great gods who practice in the Great Wilderness, if one day the Great Wilderness can no longer bear the practice of these great gods, and these great gods begin to devour the Great Wilderness, then will I send down the punishment from Heaven and completely kill these great gods?"
Wangshu was immediately sweating profusely after hearing Hengming's words. In the end, he had to calm down and said, "How could this be? The vast wilderness can accommodate even a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, let alone us little Daluo Jinxians or Hunyuan Jinxians?"
Heng Ming shook his head and said, "How can you be sure that a Daluo Jinxian will always be a Daluo Jinxian and will not become a Hunyuan Jinxian? How can you be sure that a Hunyuan Jinxian will always be a Hunyuan Jinxian and will not become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian?"
Looking at Wangshu's slightly thoughtful expression, Hengming said again: "You must know that Pangu God is only in the rank of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and he is only half a step away from completely transcending Hunyuan Daluo and becoming an existence equal to the Great Dao. However, Pangu God did not completely transcend after all, but fell at the time of the creation of the world and turned into the prehistoric world.
Since the Great Desolation was created by the great god Pangu, it is destined that the Great Desolation has not transcended the ranks of the Hunyuan Daluo. So as long as there are more Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, sooner or later the Great Desolation will be completely devoured. "
"Devouring the Great Desolation? Is what you said too alarmist?"
Wangshu was startled, and her beautiful face was full of horror.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that what Hengming said is indeed correct. If we look at the current increase in the number of sentient beings who are practicing, I am afraid that in a few tens of millions of years, no matter how big the prehistoric world is, it will not be enough for them to breathe.
Although the number of sentient beings is reduced by the calamity, there are still some great gods who are beyond the calamity and are practicing, and they will not be killed by the calamity.
A single breath of a great god who can transcend the calamity is enough to equal the spiritual energy needed by billions of living beings for cultivation. No matter how much spiritual energy Honghuang can absorb and exhale, it will eventually be unable to make ends meet.
Heng Ming's face showed no expression, but he looked extremely terrified, "Alarmist? I think I said too little. Heaven's Way may not harm Hong Huang, but it can extinguish our hopes of witnessing Hun Yuan Daluo. Look at those two little demons fighting for the elixir, don't they know that this will be our fate in the future?
If one day the universe undergoes a drastic change, and the innate spiritual energy turns into acquired spiritual energy, or even the acquired spiritual energy begins to become thin, and countless avenues disappear, how should we, the innate sacred ones, cope with the situation?
If I achieve Hunyuan Daluo, I may still have the hope of leaving Honghuang and heading to other great universes. What about you? Are you willing to perish along with Honghuang, or take the lead and prepare for battle with all your strength? "
"Prepare for battle with all your strength? Why do you say that, brother?"
Wangshu couldn't help but be even more surprised after hearing this.
Heng Ming turned around and said seriously: "Junior sister, do you know why Nuwa and I didn't fight for that Hongmeng purple energy?"
