Chapter 595: Meeting (2)

Chapter 595: Meeting (2)

The old Daoist chuckled and cupped his fists, “Fellow Daoist, after a million years of separation, you have finally condensed a trace of humanity from the chaos and could travel across the universe. Congratulations!”

Ling Ping’an’s expression froze.

When he appeared, Ling Ping’an’s intuition had already told him what the old Daoist was up to.

The Supreme Moral Celestial Venerable!

The real one!

One of the three pure ones in a practical sense!

The Great One who projected all realms and all aspects.

The immortal who had occupied the source of time and glimpsed the end of time.

He was almost one step away from breaking free from the shackles of time, space, and matter.

He was truly leaping over time and space.

He had obtained complete freedom and peace.

The reason why he said he was only one step away was that this great immortal had yet to truly stop all projections.

And Ling Ping’an’s intuition was telling him that this immortal was not unable, but unwilling.

The great number was fifty, but it was only forty-nine.

This immortal’s path emphasized leaving a line in everything.

Therefore, if he stopped everything, he could control everything.

His own Dao fruit would instantly collapse, and his ten thousand years of cultivation would go down the drain.

But… had he seen it a million years ago?

Ling Ping’an frowned slightly.

He thought of the Tao-Te Ching that he had sealed himself in.

The old Daoist looked at Ling Ping’an and instantly understood the confusion of this “old friend”.

He cupped his fists and said, “I was too rash!”

“Your Excellency was born not long ago. The past is still in chaos, and the future is still ignorant!”

Thus, he began to recite the Tao-Te Ching in front of Ling Ping’an.

“It’s called Yi, but it’s called Xi…”

The faint recitation sounded in Ling Ping’an’s ears.

Thus, a sealed memory appeared in his mind.

In the depths of a universe in a distant era.

This universe was about to end.

Pulsars were heading towards the end of the world amidst the violent explosions.

Black holes rotated and disappeared into the silence.

Countless tentacles wrapped in the matter that was carrying the weight of time and space collapsed in a certain direction.

“Goodness be true! Goodness be true!”

In this apocalyptic scene, the figure of an old Daoist was riding a green bull and slowly walking.

“Earth, water, wind, and fire, all return to Chaos…”

“The wonders of this world are so different!” the old Daoist sighed and chased after the tentacles, arriving at the end of the collapse, the origin of everything.

The deformed, huge and bloated monster began to wake up from its long sleep.

As if sensing the arrival of a guest, the bizarre-shaped eyeballs opened one after another.

Roar!

Countless sharp teeth opened up in countless dimensions. Without any explanation, they bit at the old Daoist.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Space was collapsing.

Rumble.

Countless tentacles wrapped in incomparably majestic strength slapped toward the old Daoist one after another.

The old Daoist remained unmoved.

The horsetail whisk in his hand and the green bull beneath him emitted countless rays of light.

“Goodness be true! Goodness be true!” the old Daoist was overjoyed. Layers of clear light appeared above his head, and a Tai Chi diagram separated the earth, water, wind, and fire. “Fellow Daoist, you are truly the most miraculous and mysterious existence outside of the Heavenly Dao!”

“The ultimate Yin is the evilest, and it is naturally chaotic!”

“No wisdom, no heart, no thoughts, no intentions!”

“Did you know that extreme yin gives birth to yang, extreme yang gives birth to yin…”

“Therefore, great wisdom is like a fool, and great sound is like a Xi!”

“Wonderful! Wonderful!”

In the priest’s voice, the terrifying monster stopped its attack.

Countless eyeballs turned around one by one.

He was very serious!

Therefore, the terrifying strength and endless pressure came from all directions.

This thing that saw his true face must be wiped out!

No matter what his background was, where he came from!

This was instinct, and also wisdom!

Quantum wisdom!

The ultimate monster born in Chaos was never the blind fool that others imagined.

But he did not have the so-called wisdom in the practical sense.

To be precise, something like him was the combination of all the negativity and destruction.

He was the source of all distorted worlds and also the source of all omens.

He was the master of taboos and the embodiment of the concept of evil and chaos.

Therefore, to see him, even if it was just a shadow of him.

It was also omens and taboos, and it was bound to lead to death and destruction.

Wherever he appeared, there would be endless slaughter and chaotic battles, countless terrifying monsters would emerge, and there would also be countless evil sacrifices and chaos sacrifices.

He knew all the secrets.

But he didn’t care!

This was him.

The evil god that was first born and nurtured in all the chaos of the universe and space-time.

The Primordial Core of Chaos.

The ultimate evil and chaos.

Therefore, even if the old Daoist had already embarked on the eternal path of immortality.

In a sense, he had already touched upon the mystery of space-time.

However, it was still difficult for him to resist the final Chaos.

However, the old Daoist was unafraid.

He bowed slightly and made a promise to the monster, “Fellow Daoist, please wait!”

“Haven’t you noticed?”

“Even though you have gathered the boundless chaos and transcended heaven, Earth, universe, and space-time… you must have some regrets.”

“The infinite space-time in the thousands of universes is absolutely marvelous but you have no chance to see it.”

“Although you exist in the past, you also exist in the future but you could only see the moment of the apocalypse forever!”

“Don’t you want to see the magnificence of the universe and space-time?”

The tentacles stopped.

The big mouths full of sharp teeth began to close.

At this moment, even the doomsday of the universe seemed to be delayed for a moment.

Countless eyeballs flickered up and down according to a certain pattern.

It seemed to be a password.

“Goodness be true! Goodness be true!” the old Daoist seemed to understand the password. He smiled and said, “I have a plan. Fellow Daoist, you might need it!”

He chanted with his mouth, and a string of inexplicable words reverberated in the depths of the universe.

In the end, these words converged into an article.

It was precisely this article that the old Daoist was currently reciting.

It came from the fourteenth chapter of the Tao-Te Ching.

This was also a seal.

A seal that sealed each other.

It sealed all the memories of this meeting.

Until the two met again.

“The upper part is not shapeless, the lower part is not concealed, the rope is nameless and returns to nothingness. It is the state of nothingness and the state of trance. One can not see the head when one welcomes it, and then one can not see the back…” as the old Daoist recited the sutras.

Ling Ping’an’s consciousness gradually returned.

He looked at the old Daoist.

The old Daoist looked at him with a smile.

“Do you understand now?”

Ling Ping’an nodded.

The old Daoist chuckled. “The last time I visited the Western World, I had a brief meeting with your clone!”

“Considering that you are still in the chaos, I couldn’t meet you.”

“Fortunately, due to the pull of karma and the interweaving of cosmic light, I met you in the end!”

Ling Ping’an smiled.

His reason told him that the Western World was probably not like this.

Because the Journey to the West was not the old Daoist’s home ground.

Other gazes were coveting there.

The old Daoist also smiled. He knew that he could not hide it from this person, so he said, “The Journey to the West is the Saha world that fellow Daoist Zhun Ti opened up!”

“It is to subdue the stubborn stone in my heart and shine upon Wukong!”

“This old Daoist is just one of the guests!”

“I don’t want to steal the spotlight, lest fellow Daoist Zhun Ti gets angry out of humiliation!”

Ling Ping’an nodded. In his opinion, this explanation was probably close to the truth.

However, this old Daoist must be hiding something.

But it didn’t matter.

Ling Ping’an also had chess pieces on his Journey to the West.

Sooner or later, he would meet with that master, Zhun Ti.

Therefore, Ling Ping’an asked, “Fellow Daoist, you didn’t come here to catch up with me!”

He vaguely understood that he, the monster, might have made an agreement with the old Daoist.

The old Daoist chuckled and said, “The stone of a mountain can be used to attack jade!”

“You have experienced an immeasurable tribulation and emerged from the chaos. Then, you immersed yourself in space-time and followed countless veins, extending to the other side of space-time. Then, you leaped into space-time from the other side of space-time. You have reached perfection!”

“I am not talented. I want to sacrifice the world and space-time that you soaked yourself in

“With your Dao, you can comprehend your own body and make up for the one that escaped!”

This was his flaw.

It was a regret that he could never make up for.

Even though he had illuminated all the ages and projected all the worlds.

However, because of the requirements of his own path, he had no choice but to abide by his duty and could not reach perfection.

Therefore, many worlds had his legends.

There were even beliefs and training grounds.

But he was not there.

It was not that he could not, but he did not dare!

The great number was fifty, but he used forty-nine.

He had to give up part of the projection, and he also had to give up countless times and space.

Therefore, in most of the worlds without spirit aura, he could only be Lao Tzu of the Taoist School of Huang.

He was not Supreme Moral Celestial Venerable.

Moreover, he could never appear in those worlds.

This was a predestined fate and a predetermined number.

The saints of the projection worlds were helpless in the end.

Ling Ping’an listened and smiled slightly, “Why not?”

He thought for a moment and said, “However, I don’t have much control over time and space now!”

“It’s alright!” the old Daoist smiled and said, “I just want to borrow your strength to comprehend a little!”

“The stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade!”

“But the stones of other mountains are only the stones of others, it’s not my path!”

As he said that, the old Daoist also proposed an invitation, “Fellow Daoist, you can also travel to the boundless world that I created…”

“Perhaps understanding by analogy will be beneficial to your current situation!”

“Also your actions in this world have greatly exceeded my expectations!” the old Daoist narrowed his eyes with a smile.

“As for the disciples of the old Daoist, they have been stuck for a long time. They haven’t been able to break through their own evil spawn, and it is difficult for them to advance any further!”

“Flowing water does not rot!”

“If you can give some advice to these juniors, it’s also their good fortune!”

Ling Ping’an blinked and instantly understood why the immortals and Buddhas of this world were unmoved by his and Li An’an’s reckless actions.

Feelings…

He and Li An’an had become the catfish of this space-time!

All the mighty figures of this world were watching.

They wanted to know what kind of influence these catfish from the outside world could bring?

Of course, those people were not as good as this old Daoist.

They still didn’t know Ling Ping’an’s background.

With that thought, Ling Ping’an immediately understood.

He smiled, “Fellow Daoist, you have your wish!”
