Staring Into the Abyss

Chapter 932 Staring into the Abyss

Tao is a toad.

This sentence can summarize the Taoist's desire to seek the truth.

Daozu used to seek the Tao without asking about external affairs, and could not even solve his own food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and had to rely on the Buddha Brahma for help. When Qin Mu returned to the early years of Longhan and saw the two, it was the Buddha Brahma who begged for alms and brought elixirs to feed the two.

At that time, the Taoist Patriarch was obsessed with Taoism and did not care about the right or wrong of other things.

Tao is a toad. He regarded the ancient gods as Tao and toads, and used numerology to solve the ancient gods. During the long time of one million years, he pushed the classic numerology to the peak, used the classic numerology to solve the avenues of the ancient gods, turned the avenues into runes, and helped the Ten Heavenly Lords build the realm of heaven.

He no longer needed Lord Brahma Buddha to beg for alms for him.

However, when Qin Mu said that he sought the Tao from the Tao, he meant that he sought the Tao from the ancient gods. The ancient gods were the embodiment of the Tao. He sought the Tao from the ancient gods. The Tao of the ancient gods was always there. He did not need to seek the Tao. The Tao was there. He did not create anything.

Qin Mu also said that seeking the truth from people refers to the creativity of people. There was no swordsmanship before people, but people created the swordsmanship. There was no art of calligraphy and painting, but people created the art of calligraphy and painting. There was no spiritual fetus and divine treasure, but people created the spiritual fetus and divine treasure. There was no cultivation method, but people created the cultivation method.

The cultivation system, whether it is the Shenzang or the Tiangong, was created by humans, not by ancient gods or toads.

Daozu has been studying ancient gods over the years and has been obsessed with academics, but he has not been able to break away from his academic studies and his achievements are not as good as those of the Ten Heavenly Lords.

However, he must have realized his limitations, which is why he told the two toads to serve as a front for him.

It is not the case that the longer you live, the smarter and wiser you become. Intelligence and talent are 50% innate and 50% acquired. The acquired training depends on the environment.

Qin Mu was born in Yankang and experienced the Yankang Reform. He was the leader of the Yankang Reform and witnessed the process from reform to change of way, which changed the way of heaven and earth.

He would not dare to say that his vision and knowledge surpassed that of Daozu, but his insights in some aspects were better than those of Daozu.

"I heard that Madam Yunxiao went to Yaochi and met Mu Tianzun, so Tianzun must have come here for Yun Tianzun's box."

The Taoist took out a wooden box and said, "I have been guarding this box for hundreds of thousands of years, and now I can finally put down the burden in my heart."

Qin Mu took the box and asked, "Daozu doesn't know what's in the box?"

Daozu shook his head and said, "How can I open the things that Yun Tianzun gave to Mu Tianzun without permission? Yun Tianzun's relics have two boxes, one for Mu Tianzun and one for Qin Tianzun. I have already given the other box to Qin Tianzun."

"Yun Tianzun also left a box for Kaihuang? Madam Yunxiao never told me about this."

Qin Mu was surprised and asked, "What's in Qin Tianzun's box?"

Daozu smiled and said, “When Qin Tianzun opened it, I was right next to it. It was a geographical map of a place called Taixu. I didn’t look at it carefully.”

"Taixu?"

Qin Mu's heart was slightly moved, and he said, "I just visited Huo Tianzun and Xu Tianzun, and heard that there was something unusual happening in Taixu. They took their disciples to travel in Taixu. What is Taixu?"

Daozu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Only the Ten Heavenly Lords know what Taixu is. I just heard that there is such a place, but I don't know what is there or where it is. But when Qin Tianzun got the map of Taixu, the Kaihuang calamity broke out, and Qin Tianzun went to Wuyou Township. There are rumors that Wuyou Township is in Taixu. The reason why the Ten Heavenly Lords in the Heavenly Court are so concerned about Taixu is probably because they want to find the whereabouts of Qin Tianzun."

Qin Mu pondered for a moment. Is there any connection between Taixu, Wuyouxiang, and the world that the Creator wanted to create?

On the reliefs in the Blood Rust Zone, he saw prehistoric creators gathering their extremely powerful divine consciousness to create another world in the void in an attempt to get away from this chaotic world and avoid the slaughter by the ancient gods.

So is this world created by the Creator Taixu?

Is the Worry-Free Town in the void?

Both Qin Hanzhen and Princess Zhen have said that Wuyou Township is dangerous. What does this mean?

He couldn't figure it out.

Qin Mu opened Yun Tianzun's box and was stunned. There was a small altar in the box.

The altar was too small, only one inch and three centimeters long and about two fingers high, and it looked very miniature when placed in the box.

Qin Mu stretched out his hand to take out the small altar, but when he put his hand into the box, he found that his hand was getting smaller and smaller and he could not reach the bottom.

"The interior of this box is very spacious, and the altar is not as small as it looks."

Qin Mu looked at the box and the altar carefully, and suddenly found that there was something on the altar, but that thing was extremely small.

He mobilized his magic power, and his vital energy transformed into a hand that reached into the space inside the box and took out the object on the altar.

Qin Mu withdrew his vital energy, and a square treasure seal appeared in his hand. It was slightly larger than his palm and could be held by his five fingers.

"This seal is..."

He couldn't help but wonder. The seal was not big and was translucent. He didn't know what material it was made of. He could vaguely see the texture of the palm of his hand through the seal.

However, since it is a seal, there are usually words underneath it, but this treasure seal is blank, with only a complex mountain-shaped carving on the top of the seal.

He played with it for a while, then handed the seal to Daozu: "Daozu, can you tell what secret this seal has?"

Daozu observed carefully and suddenly an eye grew out from between his eyebrows, emitting endless starlight. It was the divine power of the Heavenly Eye.

After a while, the third eye on his forehead closed, and another eye grew out, with a blazing Netherworld Demonic Fire, which was the Eye of Tu Bo.

He dispersed the Eye of Tubo and used all the ancient gods' divine eyes and supernatural powers, but he was still unable to find out the mystery of this treasure seal.

"I can't see the mystery of this seal."

Daozu shook his head and returned the seal to him: "Since Yun Tianzun is so serious and must hand over the seal to Tianzun, then there must be another deep meaning."

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly. He opened the vertical eye between his eyebrows and looked at it carefully. At this time, Shu Jun's voice came from his mind: "This is the seal of the Great Emperor Ju Yu! It is a treasure condensed from the consciousness of the Great Emperor Ju Yu!"

Qin Mu used his third eye to look and immediately discovered the abnormality of the Emperor's Seal.

This imperial seal was made of material condensed from the extremely powerful divine consciousness. In the sight of his third eye, the imperial seal transformed into an emperor standing in his palm!

Qin Mu's gaze fell on this emperor, and he immediately felt his consciousness being impacted!

In an instant his consciousness was forced back into his body and into his brows, being squeezed to the point where he almost collapsed!

Qin Mu hurriedly closed his eyes, and Shu Jun's voice continued to come: "How could the treasure of the Great Emperor Ju Yu clan end up here? This imperial seal symbolizes the authority of the Ju Yu clan. In the past, the Ju Yu clan's envoys took the Great Emperor Seal to various parts of the universe, and any race that did not obey was destroyed by the Great Emperor Seal! Once the Great Emperor Seal appeared, corpses lay for thousands of miles, and no one dared to disobey! However, the Great Emperor Ju Yu clan should have died in the siege of the ancient gods, so why did his Great Emperor Seal appear again?"

Qin Mu's consciousness was impacted and he felt a splitting headache. After a while, he felt that his consciousness had recovered a little. He said, "Shujun, how can I bring out the power of the Great Emperor Seal?"

Shu Jun laughed and said, "Give me all your energy and consciousness for the next three years, and I will teach you how to activate the power of the Great Emperor Seal. The Great Emperor Seal is extremely powerful. It killed countless creators in the past. Even the clan leader, even the ancient god created by hundreds of millions of clansmen, could not resist the power of this treasure! As long as you give me your energy and consciousness for the next three years, I can let you master this power!"

"never mind."

Qin Mu ignored him, tossed the Great Emperor Seal, and said to himself: "What is the deep meaning of Yun Tianzun leaving this Great Emperor Seal? The box left to Kaihuang contains the geographical map of Taixu, and the box left to me contains the Great Emperor Seal. I am afraid these two things are related in some way..."

Daozu was surprised and asked, "Mu Tianzun knows the name of this seal?"

Qin Mu put away the Great Emperor Seal and said with a smile: "I know a thing or two. This Great Emperor Seal was formed by the prehistoric Great Emperor Ju Yu with his spiritual consciousness. It is very powerful, but I don't know how to activate it. Daozu and Yun Tianzun should have a good relationship, right?"

Daozu nodded: "After I achieved some success, I became prominent among the human race. Yun Tianzun found me and asked me about my attainments in numerology. He talked to me for a long time and told me that he could use my numerology to crack the great way of the ancient gods and overthrow their rule."

He told the story slowly and recounted how Yun Tianzun found him.

At that time, Yun Tianzun was already the Emperor of Xiaohan Heaven, and nominally belonged to Longhan Heaven, ruling all the acquired creatures in the world on behalf of the ancient god Emperor.

Longxiao Heaven is ruled by Haotianzun, who is the Emperor of Longxiao Heaven and rules over all demigod races in the world.

The two heavens have been fighting each other all year round, the battle between demigods and acquired creatures has never stopped, and the war between races lasted for hundreds of thousands of years in the Longhan era, and countless people died.

However, in name, both heavens are branches of the Longhan heaven. The ancient gods still rule the entire world. The war between demigods and acquired creatures makes the rule of the ancient gods extremely stable. The Xiaohan and Longxiao heavens still offer sacrifices and tributes to the ancient gods.

If sacrifices and tributes are not made, the ancient gods of Longhan Heaven will come down to help the other side participate in the war and punish the forces that disobey Longhan Heaven. There will be rivers of blood and mountains of corpses.

It was under such circumstances that Yun Tianzun found the already famous Daozu and invited him to join the Tianmeng.

At that time, Daozu tried to use numerology to analyze the various great principles of the world. Daozu was proficient in various magical powers, but his combat power was not high. He just learned a lot of magical powers.

In that difficult era, geniuses were as bright as stars, and there were many powerful warriors. Taozu and Lord Brahma Buddha were not very prominent among them.

When Yun Tianzun told Daozu that his magic could analyze the great way of the ancient gods, thereby completely overthrowing the rule of the ancient gods and ending the suffering in the world, Daozu was also shocked and did not dare to believe what Yun Tianzun said.

At that time, the Taoist master had already separated from Lord Brahma Buddha, and each lived his own life, with disciples and followers.

However, Yun Tianzun made him believe that he could do this, and that mortals could also understand the source of the ancient gods' power and even obtain the source of the ancient gods' power.

So Daozu began to implement Yun Tianzun's plan and continued to analyze the ancient gods' avenue. This took five or six hundred thousand years.

To date, he has basically mapped out the Avenue of Ancient Gods.

"But I have also noticed the changes in the world, and the ancient gods are no longer a threat to the world."

Daozu was in a trance, and suddenly said: "It is the Heavenly Alliance that has replaced the Ancient Gods as a threat to the world. I am just a researcher, not concerned with worldly affairs. I was caught off guard by this situation and I don't know what to do. So when I learned about Mu Tianzun's visit last time in Qingyuntian, I took the risk of sending Tianzun to the Shouzang Pavilion, hoping to pass on the Ancient God Avenue to Tianzun and make some changes."

Qin Mu thanked him and asked, "Why did Daozu pass on the ancient god avenue in the Storing Pavilion to the Ancient God Emperor?"

Daozu hesitated for a moment and said, "This was also Yun Tianzun's idea."

Qin Mu was stunned.

"During his last period, Yun Tianzun seemed to know that he would soon die, so he told me that the Heavenly Alliance had lost control and needed an enemy. He realized that someone in the Heavenly Alliance might be the Ancient God Emperor, so he asked me to get closer to him."

Daozu said: "He was unable to resolve the Heavenly Alliance, so he could only do this to split the Heavenly Alliance, so as to prevent it from becoming a behemoth. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Alliance still became what he feared."
