Chapter 270: Take orders from heaven and live forever

"Please give me some advice, senior." Wei Zhuang said firmly.

Bei Mingzi chuckled and said, "Ha, then the old Taoist should stretch his muscles."

After Bei Mingzi finished speaking, his Dharma image appeared behind him, and a hundred-meter-long Kun fish emerged from behind Bei Mingzi.

Wei Zhuang tightly grasped the shark-tooth sword and looked at the Kun fish image with burning eyes. His palms were sweating, his heart was beating wildly, and even every cell in his body was trembling.

Wei Zhuang knew that the gap between him and Bei Mingzi was like a dimensional gap. He was far from being Bei Mingzi's opponent. Even Bei Mingzi could crush him with just a flick of his finger.

Unsheathed! Unsheathed!
Therefore, Wei Zhuang roared in his heart, forcing himself to swing the sword, even if it was just one sword.

The art of strategy requires knowing when to advance and retreat. When facing a strong and dangerous enemy, Guiguzi will retreat.

But Wei Zhuang did not want to retreat. Under such intimidation, Wei Zhuang realized one thing, that is, he cared too much about Guiguzi's identity.

He cared too much about the blessing of Zongheng to himself, so much so that he somewhat blinded his true self.

No fear!
Wei Zhuang recited softly in his heart, and at this moment his heart was calm.

Although his body was still shaking and his heart was beating wildly, his mood began to calm down.

Finally, Wei Zhuang drew his sword, and his sword hit the air, but Gongsun Ce heard the sound of shackles breaking.

Gongsun Ce said to Wei Zhuang in his heart: Congratulations.

"I broke the old shackles with one sword. Today I know who I am." Wei Zhuang slowly put away his sword, then bowed to Bei Mingzi, "Thank you for your teachings, senior."

Bei Mingzi looked at Wei Zhuang and nodded. What a good seedling. But he was not envious. He still had Xiao Meng, whose talent was no less than Guiguzi Zongheng.

But when Bei Mingzi saw Xiao Meng being held in Gongsun Ce's arms and fed, his face darkened. If this continued, Taoism would become Xiao Meng's mother's home sooner or later.

Bei Mingzi changed his mind and decided that it didn't matter what her parents' home was. Xiao Meng was still his disciple anyway. With this thought, Gongsun Ce became half of his son-in-law, which brought them closer.

Just after Wei Zhuang stepped down from the stage, the Six-Fingered Black Knight stepped onto the Guanmiao Terrace.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight clasped his fists and saluted Bei Mingzi, saying, "Senior Bei Mingzi, I am Six Fingers, please teach me."

"Please." Bei Mingzi was not interested in the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight is neither a particularly outstanding young junior nor a master of the same level of cultivation.

Bei Mingzi had no expectations for the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

"Stick to the rules!" The six-fingered black hero held the ink eyebrow in his hand, and the black true energy was like ink falling on white paper, painting wantonly, instantly covering the Guanmiao Terrace.

Bei Mingzi looked at the conventionality in front of him and felt a little disappointed. This conventionality was too conventional and lacked any novelty.

Bei Mingzi understood that the Six-Fingered Black Knight had followed his old path, and had too much followed the path of his predecessors, and had lost his own spirit.

In a word, the Six-Fingered Black Knight can enter the late stage of Grandmaster, and may even reach the perfection of Grandmaster, but it is difficult for him to step into the realm of half-step unity of man and nature.

Because the Six-Fingered Black Knight cannot regard one place as his territory, and he cannot control the power of heaven and earth.

The six-fingered black knight is alive, but the sword is dead.

Under the Guanmiao Stage, many members of various schools of thought held their breath, staring intently at the thrilling scene on the stage.

I saw Bei Mingzi activating the Kun fish image above his head.

The Kun fish image exudes a black and white aura all over its body, which is an upgraded version of the Taoist Tianzong's unique skill "The Color of Heaven and Earth is Obliterated".

As Bei Mingzi's mind urged, the black and white aura began to spread slowly, spreading out like ripples, and finally enveloped the entire Guanmiaotai.

The one enveloped by this black and white aura was none other than the Six-Fingered Black Knight.

The sword energy condensed on the Momei Sword was extremely heavy, but under the black and white aura, the sword energy emitted by the conventional sword moves seemed to be frozen and stagnated in the air.

What is even more shocking is that the figure of the Six-Fingered Black Knight also solidified in this breath, as if time had stopped at this moment.

"Is this the Taoist secret that makes heaven and earth pale in comparison?" The people below the Guanmiao Stage were whispering to each other, their voices filled with awe.

They all knew of the reputation of this Taoist master, but had never seen its true power. After all, very few Taoist masters appeared in the world.

At this moment, they couldn't help but gasp after witnessing with their own eyes that Six-Fingered Black Knight, a mid-stage grandmaster, was completely unable to fight back against this move.

"The world is eclipsed by this, and the reputation is well-deserved." Someone sighed.

"Yes, this Heaven and Earth Lost Color is not only incredibly powerful, but also profound in meaning." Another person echoed.

“Although Tiandi Facai is powerful, Mohist swordsmanship is also a rare sword move.” Gongsun Ce said calmly.

Gongsun Jian bowed to Gongsun Ce and asked, "What is your opinion, my dear Confucian scholar?"

Gongsun Ce glanced at Gongsun Jian, the young man who was once full of vigor and vitality. At this moment, he seemed a bit restrained after being beaten by the society. Gongsun Jian couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"The truly powerful one is Bei Ming Zi. The loss of the world is just an embellishment."

Members of the various schools of thought nodded in agreement with Gongsun Ce's words.

But Gongsun Ce could see that he was just unwilling to accept the suggestion in his heart.

Suddenly, a powerful internal energy surged out of his body and instantly transformed into a dark mist, covering the Guanmiao Terrace.

This is exactly the Taoist Tianzong's unique skill, the eclipse of heaven and earth, but the expression of Gongsun Ce's eclipse of heaven and earth is different from that of Bei Mingzi's eclipse of heaven and earth.

Suddenly, Gongsun Ce's world of eclipse began to drive out Bei Mingzi's world of eclipse.

At the same time, Bei Mingzi activated the Kun fish image above his head.

The Kun fish image opened its huge mouth and let out an earth-shaking roar. Then an equally powerful true energy surged out to empower Bei Mingzi's Heaven and Earth Dimming, and collided with Gongsun Ce's Heaven and Earth Dimming.

"Boom!" The two streams of true energy collided, making a deafening noise.

The floor tiles around Guanmiao Terrace were constantly vibrating, the dust in the cracks between the tiles was constantly shaken out, and then the tiles were broken one by one in the vibration.

"Bang bang bang..."

The small insects in the soil under the floor tiles were also killed by the shock.

However, Gongsun Ce's Tiandi Shise was even more powerful. It was like a ferocious beast, madly squeezing the living space of Bei Mingzi Tiandi Shise on Guanmiaotai.

"You are worthy of being called the Imperial Confucian Scholar." Bei Mingzi was shocked, and then he took it for granted that without such ability, he was not worthy of the title of Imperial Confucian Scholar.

However, he boasted that he had comprehended the Loss of Heaven and Earth for many years, and his comprehension of the Loss of Heaven and Earth had reached an extremely high level.

However, he did not expect that Gongsun Ce's Heaven and Earth Color Decaying Skill was so powerful that even his true energy could not resist it.

At this moment, Bei Mingzi's Heaven and Earth Fading Color on the Six-Fingered Black Knight who had been watching the battle on the side was expelled by Gongsun Ce's Heaven and Earth Fading Color.

The six-fingered black knight held a long sword and rushed towards Bei Mingzi as fast as lightning.

However, his sword move was destroyed by Gongsun Ce's Heaven and Earth Colorless just when he was halfway through.

The conventional sword moves were like blank paper in front of Gongsun Ce's overwhelming power and were easily torn into pieces.

After all, the loss of color of heaven and earth is not simply a cessation of thinking and action ability, but essentially it is a force field formed by a large amount of true energy.

The six-fingered black knight only felt an irresistible force coming, and his body flew out of the Guanmiao Terrace uncontrollably.

After he stood firmly on the ground, he looked at Gongsun Ce and Bei Mingzi on the Guanmiao Terrace, his eyes full of emotion.

"The realm of unity between man and nature is truly unfathomable." Six-Fingered Black Knight muttered to himself.

He knew how big the gap was between himself and Gongsun Ce, and he was also aware of the huge distance between himself and Bei Mingzi.

He quietly retreated among the members of the Hundred Schools of Thought and observed the clash of true qi on the Guanmiao Platform.

On the Guanmiao Stage, the Qi duel between Gongsun Ce and Bei Mingzi was still going on.

Bei Mingzi wanted to show off his abilities and at the same time test Gongsun Ce's true strength. He once again activated the Kun fish form and released stronger true energy.

Although Bei Mingzi tried his best to mobilize his true energy, he was still unable to shake Gongsun Ce's loss of his luster.

"Your Majesty the Imperial Confucian is worthy of being the best in the world." Bei Mingzi finally sighed and said.

He withdrew his true energy, cancelled the discoloration of heaven and earth, bowed to Gongsun Ce and said, "I invite you to fight, Master Gongsun."

Gongsun Ce smiled slightly, and also withdrew the eclipse of heaven and earth.

He looked at Bei Mingzi and said, "Since Senior Bei Mingzi has asked for a fight, I will accept it."

After Gongsun Ce finished speaking, he took a step forward and appeared on the Guanmiao Terrace.

"Please."

As Gongsun Ce finished speaking, Bei Mingzi took the first step.

The image of Kun fish flashed, and Bei Mingzi's figure appeared in front of Gongsun Ce in a flash.

"Be one with the light and dust? What a good trick." Gongsun Ce could tell at a glance that what Bei Mingzi was using at the moment was "Be one with the light and dust."

Gongsun Ce took a look at the Dharma image above Bei Mingzi's head and roughly guessed that Bei Mingzi's Dharma image should be a fusion of Taoist skills and had been upgraded.

Otherwise, when Bei Mingzi performed the Dharmakāya of Harmony with Dust and Oblivion of Heaven and Earth, it would not have been as smooth as it is now.

Simply put, the mana consumption of skills is reduced and the cooldown time is gone.

Gongsun Ce grinned, then moved his body, using his Unlimited Power to avoid Bei Mingzi's swift attack.

Bei Mingzi's attack missed, which was within his expectations. He had long anticipated Gongsun Ce's unlimited magical power, and he had also thought about how to limit Gongsun Ce's unlimited magical power.

The essence of the infinite magical power is to travel through the gaps in the vital energy of heaven and earth, and thus make the world seem close yet far away.

Therefore, if you want to limit the Wu Ji, you must either empty the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth within a certain range, or find a way to close the gap between the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth.

Bei Mingzi can't do these two things, but he can interfere with the magical power of Wu Shi.

The principle is very simple, which is to disrupt the surrounding heaven and earth vitality, and then interfere with Gongsun Ce's landing point.

However, the time that Gongsun Ce spent passing through the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth was very short, and Bei Mingzi was unable to determine the direction of the gap in the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth that Gongsun Ce passed through.

The vital energy of heaven and earth is everywhere, and there are countless so-called gaps in the so-called vital energy of heaven and earth.

Simply put, when Gongsun Ce activated his infinite magical power, countless passages appeared in front of his eyes, and Bei Mingzi could not be sure which passage Gongsun Ce passed through.

So Bei Mingzi could only take a gamble, interfering with the vitality of heaven and earth could prevent Gongsun Ce from moving as he wished. Bei Mingzi activated the Kunyu Dharma Image, which opened its mouth and took a deep breath, and the vitality of heaven and earth was instantly disturbed by the Kunyu.

Gongsun Ce felt no surprise at the chaotic energy of heaven and earth nearby.

It would be strange if Bei Mingzi didn't have this skill, but Bei Mingzi didn't understand the value of the Wu Shi magical power at all.

There are many talented people in the world of Ever Night, but the only one that can limit the supernatural power of Wu Shi is the pond fish cage bird formation.

The pond fish cage bird formation is a formation that can stop Haotian, which shows the unsolvable nature of the Wuju magical power.

However, Bei Mingzi's Kun fish form is a bit interesting. His breathing is like the autumn waters of thousands of rivers and his heart is as calm as still water.

Wanchuan Qiushui is a move to kill enemies by controlling the outward airflow.

"Mind as Still as Water" is a defensive move to calm chaotic airflow, and it is also Wanchuan Qiu Shui's counter-move.

"Is there anything else?" Gongsun Ce asked.

Gongsun Ce was somewhat curious about the ability of Bei Mingzi's Kunyu Dharmakā, so he allowed Bei Mingzi to attack.

However, if Bei Mingzi's Kunyu Dharmakāya only has this ability, Gongsun Ce is ready to take direct action to suppress Bei Mingzi.

Bei Mingzi was not annoyed after hearing Gongsun Ce's words, but confirmed that Gongsun Ce had broken through to a higher level.

Instead, he was somewhat excited. If Gongsun Ce could break through, it meant that he could also break through. There were indeed higher peaks in the path of martial arts.

"Of course there is, Your Excellency, be careful! There is a fish in the North Sea, its name is Kun. Kun is so big, I don't know how many thousands of miles it is.

It turned into a bird, named Peng. The back of Peng is unknown how many thousands of miles long it is. When it flies in anger, its wings are like clouds hanging from the sky..."

Bei Mingzi recited the beginning of "Xiao Yao You", and then the Kun fish transformed into a big peng. The big peng flapped its wings and flew high into the sky. With its wings spread, it seemed to cover the sky and the sun.

It’s a pity that Bei Mingzi has just entered the realm of unity between man and nature, so Dapeng and Kunyu are only a hundred meters high.

Even with the blessing of "Xiao Yao You", the combined width of Dapeng's wings is only four or five hundred meters.

Gongsun Ce summoned his own Dharma image. When the imperial Confucian Dharma image reappeared, the imperial energy, earth energy, and dragon energy around his body transformed into a small golden dragon that hovered around the Dharma image, as if protecting the Dharma image.

“Look at my Holy Dragon Seal.” Gongsun Ce suddenly had an idea and created a suppressive move.

The Imperial Confucian Dharma Image, who was also a hundred meters tall, raised his hand, and the golden dragon immediately fell into the hands of the Imperial Confucian Dharma Image.

Then the golden dragon connected head to tail and turned into a large seal. At this moment in Zhangtai Palace, Ying Zheng discovered that his imperial seal was shaking.

Then a stream of light flew out from the imperial seal and instantly fell onto the Holy Dragon Seal in Gongsun Ce's hand.

The originally ordinary Holy Dragon Seal suddenly transformed into the appearance of an imperial seal.

Mandated by Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper. Eight characters appeared on the Holy Dragon Heavenly Seal.

Gongsun Ce's imperial Confucian Dharma image suddenly slapped out the Holy Dragon Seal, which swelled in the wind and in the blink of an eye had transformed into a thousand-meter-wide seal suspended above Dapeng's head.

“Fall!” Gongsun Ce shouted, and the Holy Dragon Sky Seal suddenly fell down, slapping the Dapeng down like slapping a fly.

"Quick! Retreat!" The Six-Fingered Black Knight shouted and used his soft power to slap away all the members of the various schools of thought around him who did not have time to escape.

Judging from the vision of the Six-Fingered Black Knight, when this seal falls, the entire mountain will be flattened, and even cracks will appear on the mountain.

I'm afraid that after today, the Taoist's residence will have to change.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight suddenly thought that the Taoist classics seemed to have been moved a few days ago.

"What a good plan." Although he sighed, the Six-Fingered Black Knight continued to slap the members of the various schools of thought with his palms.

He finally understood that Bei Mingzi had already prepared for the worst.

If the Taoist base in Taiyi Mountain was destroyed, would Ying Zheng not compensate Gongsun Ce?

Even if the Taoist residence was not destroyed, we could still take precautions.

The Six-Fingered Black Knight might not know what kind of power the state of unity between man and nature has, but how could Bei Mingzi not know?

Gongsun Ce also realized this at this moment. He shook his head, realizing that the older generation was indeed cunning.

But it’s not bad if Gongsun Ce is looking for new food for the Qin world, or if he has to go out for something.

In addition to the Demon God of War and the twelve golden men that are about to be completed, Bei Mingzi is another line of defense for Xianyang City.

Gongsun Ce saw that the other members of the Hundred Schools of Thought did not run far enough, so the space ring in his hand flashed, and a small wooden box appeared in his hand.

"Changhong, Bingpo, Yuhua, Ziyun, Benlei, Qingguang, Whirlwind, Dragon Scale, go!"

Seven small swords and the dragon scale sword turned into a stream of light and flew out.

"Hold the small sword, the small sword can carry you down the mountain." Gongsun Ce said in a voice transmission.

Then the members of the various schools of thought raised their hands and grasped the small swords, but there were only seven small swords, so the members of the various schools of thought hung on the people holding the small swords.

With a bunch of people hanging on one person, except for Nian Duan and the other women who were supported by the Dragon Scale Sword and were relatively easy to carry.

The other seven small swords seemed to be hung with a bunch of sausages, and they swayed a little when the wind blew, but the small swords were not affected at all.

"boom!"

The Holy Dragon Seal descended from the sky with Dapeng, and a strong gust of wind instantly destroyed the Guanmiao Terrace, and the floor tiles underneath the Guanmiao Terrace were completely cracked.

The buildings in other Taoist settlements were also affected. When the strong winds passed through, all the buildings were destroyed. Even the bamboos in the small bamboo forest where Bei Mingzi had lived all year round were uprooted.

"Boom!"

After a deafening noise, the Taoist settlement was completely destroyed, Taiyi Mountain was shortened, and crooked cracks appeared on the mountain.

The members of the various schools of thought who were still hanging on the small sword and slowly falling to the ground gasped when they saw this.

With just one move, he flattened a mountain and created countless cracks on it. It was so terrifying!
"Hiss!"
The sounds of people gasping for air came one after another. What I saw and heard today was like a sharp knife pulling my butt - it was an eye-opener.

Gongsun Ce and Bei Mingzi were suspended in the air, looking at Mount Taiyi below their feet.

Gongsun Ce touched his chin. According to Qin Shi Tiandao, once the night world is incorporated, the famous mountains and rivers will be strengthened accordingly.

In other words, if Gongsun Ce's strength had not improved, the situation where he could almost smash a mountain with a casual slap like now would no longer exist.

No matter what, you have to take two shots.

The ninth realm of Ever Night's world, Wu Ju, is a realm where one can easily become a star.

The eighth level of purity is naturally not bad, and in terms of defense, the purity is still a step higher.

Gongsun Ce looked at the masterpiece under his feet and wrote the magical symbols of "Kun" and "Gen" in the air.

With the blessing of the power of heaven and earth, the two talismans sank into Taiyi Mountain, and then the mountain gradually closed and the cracks disappeared.

However, the buildings on Mount Taiyi are difficult to restore in a short period of time, and the damaged earth veins also need time to heal themselves.

Gongsun Ce's move did not completely destroy the earth veins of Taiyi Mountain, but it did damage the earth veins. It will take at least fifty or sixty years for the earth veins to recover.

"My dear son-in-law, what do you think of the compensation for this Taoist base?" Bei Mingzi rubbed his hands and approached Gongsun Ce.

"As for the compensation issue, ask A Zheng. I'm poor too." Gongsun Ce raised his hand, and the power of heaven and earth turned into a three-foot air wall to stop Bei Mingzi. "And where did the title of virtuous son-in-law come from?"

"Xiao Meng is the old Taoist's disciple." Bei Mingzi stroked his white beard, "So the Emperor is naturally the old Taoist's virtuous son-in-law."

"You are too harsh. How old is Xiaomeng?" Gongsun Ce stroked his forehead.

Bei Mingzi suddenly shouted like a possessed actor: "Are you going to let go of my poor, helpless and weak disciple?"

"I won't let it go. No one can take away what's in my pocket." Gongsun Ce said with a black face.

Bei Mingzi looked at Gongsun Ce meaningfully, then took out two bamboo slips and several paper books and threw them to Gongsun Ce.

"This is the dowry. Laozi, the handwriting of the ancient sage and my master. In addition, these are Wanchuan Qiushui, Mind Like Still Water, Harmony with the Light and Dust, Sunshine After Snow, Spring Returns to All Things."

"Wow." Gongsun Ce looked at the books in front of him and was surprised. "So generous?"

"They are all dowry, and Xiaomeng doesn't have to go back to my Taoist residence." Bei Mingzi waved his hand, "It's just right for you to teach her the follow-up skills."

Gongsun Ce said helplessly: "Xiao Meng is your successor."

"That's right. Xiaomeng is my successor, and we are like father and daughter." Bei Mingzi deliberately paused here.

"So?" Gongsun Ce asked in cooperation.

"It costs more money. My Taoist base cannot be worse than the Yin-Yang School's base in Xianyang." Bei Mingzi stroked his white beard, and seemed to understand Gongsun Ce's eyes, so he added a few words.

"In the past, I was bound by the way of heaven and the methods of my predecessors. Now it seems that the teacher has prepared the most suitable path for me, but I am completely unaware of it."

"Xiaoyaoyou?"

"Yes, it is "Xiao Yao You"." Bei Mingzi recalled the past, "Before I followed my teacher to practice Taoism, I was still a wandering knight, a young man with heroic spirit, admiring justice..."

"Stop!" Gongsun Ce raised his hand to interrupt Bei Mingzi's recollection, "Speak to the point."

"After practicing Taoism, the old Taoist pursued the Way of Heaven with all his heart, but ignored the Way of Man. It seemed that the old Taoist had been in seclusion for many days, but in fact, the old Taoist had been thinking about the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man.

If it weren’t for the handwritten letter left by the teacher, I’m afraid I would still be in seclusion…”

Just after the Qin world swallowed up the Ever Night world, Bei Mingzi felt the opportunity for a breakthrough, so he began to retreat.

As expected, as soon as he entered the retreat state, he felt that he was about to break through.

But just as he was about to follow the heavenly path and enter the state of unity between man and nature, the handwritten copy of "Xiao Yao You" that he carried with him emitted a bright glow.

Bei Mingzi instantly stopped his breakthrough into the city and began to study the handwritten copy of "Xiao Yao You" left by Zhuangzi.

And he began to think about the relationship between the Way of Heaven and the Way of Man. This was the reason for the split of Taoism, and it is also the problem that confuses Bei Mingzi now.

The Taoist way of heaven is the way of heaven, selfless, impartial, and ruthless...

If Gongsun Ce knew how confused Bei Mingzi was at that time, he would probably laugh his head off.

Qin Shi Tiandao is so talkative, how can he be ruthless?

Fair-minded and selfless... Gongsun Ce felt that Qin Shi Tiandao had opened many back doors for him.

However, Gongsun Ce did not interrupt Bei Mingzi's memories. He was a little curious about what Bei Mingzi had realized.
