Chapter 713: True Appearance: The Heavenly Pillar is high and the North Star is far away
ββ¦β¦ Who?! β
At this moment, Pei Chen naturally wouldn't continue to be stupid enough to think that he was still hallucinating, he held his breath and searched the space around him intently. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info didn't find that his unwitting fear was completely gone, and although he still retained a qualified vigilance, he was more often just acting according to the habit of the inscribed instinct.
Soon, Pei Chen finally found out in his consciousness why this clear voice made him feel familiar, and vaguely some of the rhythmic sound waves overlapped with the bells he had heard before. It's like the sound of a bell in the process of propagation, the sound waves oscillate, and finally turned into the sound of words, extremely weird and terrifying, and it also seems to contain the flow of great divine power that distorts the time and space of the heavens.
Ethereal and uncertain, as if it came from a distant sky, and as if it resounded from all directions at the same time, echoing in the main hall.
Slow, slow! Could it be that the entire hall is probably the inside of the bell?!
At the thought of this, Pei Chen's body couldn't help but tremble, and his soul almost wanted to leave his body. He extended his divine thoughts, but found that the walls around the main hall seemed to be simple and unpretentious, showing a chaotic and dark yellow, but there was an incomparable supernatural power circulating on it, imprisoning time and suppressing space, and it seemed to contain the vast power of the Heaven and Earth Hongmeng. The gods couldn't read through it, not to say it, and there was a trace of the power of the rules that made Pei Chen feel very familiar.
Those were the rules he had felt on the Immortal Rune Stone 'Zod' produced in the Dark World. It cannot be destroyed, it cannot be worn out, and it is indelible, so it is called immortal. However, it is only relatively indestructible, although it is said that the realm blade and the power of the nine tails are difficult to wear down the rune stone, but at least it is impossible to block Pei Chen's current finger, and it is also a taboo-level armor - the Meteor Spear Gangnir can also break it if he swings or throws it......
But now, the 'never wear' and 'indestructible' rules on the walls of the main hall are really truly unworn and indestructible.
There was a very small similarity with the rules of the Immortal Rune Stone 'zod', so Pei Chen could identify it through comparison and verification. However, whether it is the degree of mystery or the strength of defense, it is thousands of times higher than the former, just like the enhanced appreciation version of the former, which is followed by N plus signs...... In fact, Pei Chen genuinely doubted that there really were artifacts or characters in this world that could shake such a defense.
There's no way to get out...... He made that judgment, and it was accurate.
ββ¦β¦ Don't you already understand, so why bother? At this time, Zhong Bo turned into words again, and came leisurely, echoing in the hall.
ββ¦β¦β
Although it was very slight, there was a slight vibration on the surrounding walls and floor. Could it be that it is really the kind of innate treasure that is born in the heavens, and the instrument spirit that is thus conceived is the innate deity in the bell?
Pei Chen frowned, but he didn't notice any danger, but he didn't let his guard down, but stepped forward step by step. Although he knew that if he encountered something like the Divine Soul Seizure, he would not have the slightest chance in front of the highest-level existence that he had never seen in theory, but in any case, he had to do it after all.
And he also has an inexplicable idea, he is now appearing here is originally a divine soul, as long as he does not run those strange soul exercises obtained from the 'self' of other worlds through multiverse resonance, he will not reshape his body-
If his own body or material carrier is still in other places, if it has not been completely destroyed now, it should probably have followed instinct and has already unfolded the appearance of the Dharma, and merged into the time, space, matter, and energy of the void of the universe...... and so on.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the Divine Soul Snatching is, it has to be aimed at the existence of a body, if both sides are soul primordial gods...... How to take it?
The hall was quiet for a while, Pei Chen would take a few steps forward and pause cautiously for a while, he also subconsciously paid attention to the door behind him, and then tragically found that although there was no change on the surface, time and space were still completely imprisoned, it was a kind of mysterious and flexible line of rules, thousands of roots woven into a new legal principle, with Pei Chen's accumulation and understanding of the way of time, there was not much that could be understood at all......
He was now suddenly reliving the feeling he had when he was a student, that he couldn't read anything in front of a pile of heavenly booksβno, it would be more accurate to say that he had studied well before, but he lowered his head and picked up a pen in a math class, and he never understood it again.
There is no way back...... Moreover, the whole palace should be a space evolved from the inside of the big bell, and even if it escapes, it is just a run from one area of the bell to another, and it is still inside the bell body.
With such an awareness, Pei Chen finally spent about ten minutes, walked a distance of no more than 1,000 meters, and came to the statue of Gou Chen.
The relative scale relationship between the size of the distance and the near did not apply to this ghost place at all, and the closer he got, the more he found that the statue of the ancient snake was getting more and more majestic, not because of the perspective from which he got closer, but because it was really getting bigger and bigger - the crown on his head covered the heavens and the earth, and the wings behind him were set off by stars, and the incomparably majestic shore, and the stars in the humane starry sky were so small in comparison, none of them could cover the past.
Originally, it was only a thousand meters wide in the hall, and the time and space were suddenly stretched infinitely, endlessly, turning the land of dust into a cosmic desolation!
The so-called Gouchen is not only one of the emperors of heaven, but also the name of an ancient snake.
With such a glimmer of realization in his heart, Pei Chen suppressed the shock in his heart, and carefully approached to look at that 'person'. It was still a dozen paces away, but the 'man' could clearly be seen dressed in ancient costumes, sitting cross-legged in front of the huge base altar beneath the idol.
If you look closely, you will find that its clothes are big and crowned, the top and bottom are painted and embroidered with the congenital gossip map, the north and south two pole stars and the three talents of heaven, earth and man, the Xuanyi dress, the crown is two out of ten, and the white jade is beaded.
This kind of instrument form is like a high and indifferent ancient saint emperor, who has come out of the myth, but it does not give people any other feeling except for being pure and unclean, and there is no such thing as the power of the qi machine that is overwhelming for a while, it just exists quietly there, without any movement.
The only thing worth noting is that the face of this 'person' is blurry, and the twelve crown beads hanging down seem to not only cover the face, but also seem to be swirling with chaotic mist, making it impossible to see the true face of the emperor through the crown, at least it is blurry and unreal.
This is good news, at least Pei Chen's expectation that he would have to endure unimaginable killing opportunities every time he took a step closer, and the bloody plot of being able to get closer at the cost of serious injuries did not appear. But on the contrary, Pei Chen would rather have that kind of rejection effect, and the uneasy premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger, that 'person' seemed to have been dead for a long, long time, without any consciousness, otherwise he would not be so still.
But even on the surface, except for the face that can't be seen clearly, everything is ordinary, but Pei Chen doesn't know what's wrong, he just feels like facing a natural enemy who can't resist no matter what-obviously the other party doesn't have any soul fluctuations, but he just has an intuition that there is no reason, that 'person' is alive. Or should I say, immeasurably dead years, but still alive.
- Dead, but alive.
It is indeed a very contradictory statement, but Pei Chen doesn't feel that there is anything wrong.
This kind of state of the realm of the character is more troublesome than the state of quantum uncertainty, and it is not that there is no existence that has reached this level to assert. It is very likely that life and death are not absolute, and perhaps it is not uncommon for the two to be superimposed. Anyway, Pei Chen just felt that there was no reason why the other party's body seemed to be empty without any breath wavelength, and what was hidden was a great horror that could not be understood.
"Is there really a so-called body? β¦β¦ Even I am not limited to the material carrier, the form of existence has begun to extend to all conceptual levels of the world, connecting the axis of the world and the timeline......"
Pei Chen's eyes flickered and muttered to himself, but he couldn't see through the mysteries of the 'human' body, nor could he see in what state its existence was extended, there was no past, no future, and no other dimensional phases. Maybe it was because the inside of the Chaos Clock made time and space the same, but he just didn't believe that the Heavenly Emperor Gou Chen still had a so-called real body.
"You don't have to doubt that this is the remnant of Gou Chen's Dao body, and it is the condensation of his own Dao!"
At this time, Zhong Bo shook again, and the voice of the words came slowly, vast and solemn.
Relics? Pei Chen's mind moved slightly, he naturally knew what the so-called 'relics' were, the two families of Shi Dao thought that death was left behind and dissolved, so they called their corpses 'relics', everything is still like this, not to mention the relics of the immortals? Generally speaking, existences above the taboo level are difficult to kill, and they are generally the kind that are dead and immortal, and those who are stiff and immortal, autopsy, nirvana, and transformation ...... I don't know how many professional terms there are used to distinguish the different death states of immortals, saints, gods and Buddhas.
The Dao body relics are the condensation of the way that belongs to the immortal god's own body, not only all the powers, realms, perceptions, and paths before death...... And so on are condensed, and even the Dharma that unfolds in various fields and at various conceptual levels will collapse as one, and return to infinity. So, in general, it refers to the only corpse left behind after their true death.
It's not that all immortals and gods will leave a complete body of the Dao, only those great gods, great Buddhas, and great sages are qualified to do this, and more people, such as practitioners of Buddhism, great bodhisattvas, and great arhats, basically will only leave some relics after death.
"In this way, the Emperor of Heaven is really ...... Fallen? Or should I say I died? β
Although the instrument spirit of the suspected Chaos Bell has always been very cold and only speaks at certain moments, Pei Chen doesn't know why he feels an extra sense of intimacy, and subconsciously is sure that the other party will never do anything, so he asked decisively. He stared closely at the Dao body of the Heavenly Emperor Gou Chen, although he couldn't see his true face clearly, but it always gave him the feeling that the other party would open his bright eyes and look at him the next moment.
To be honest, Pei Chen never thought that his meeting with this one would be like this, it was not in line with his previous brain supplement at all, in his opinion, even if the other party was really dead, it should definitely not be so bland.
At least there must be a majestic and majestic tomb, a huge emperor mausoleum that runs through the universe of all worlds, and the deepest coffin in the ups and downs of the chaotic whirlpool, even the corpse should have the supernatural ability to suppress everything and reopen the heavens and the earth and establish the wilderness......
- This style of painting is in line with his imagination of this big man in the past, and it should definitely not be the current situation.
Moreover, if this one is so prosaic that he has disappeared in the long river of years, then who is arranging his life?!
"Fallen? Of course there is no ......" Zhong Bo's voice echoed, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, Pei Chen felt that there seemed to be a hint of strangeness in the indifferent sound wave. But he no longer had the heart to figure out these details, for the god in the bell uttered a stone-shattering word, almost mercilessly, that made his hairs stand on end in an instantβ
"Aren't you still alive?"
After being silent for a while, Pei Chen asked bitterly, "...... What do you mean by that? What does it have to do with me not dying and I am alive? β
"I've already said that He is your past, you are His present, maybe...... He is your future. The Chaos Bell said in a leisurely voice, "Since you are still alive and well, then he naturally cannot be considered dead. β
There was a sudden silence in the main hall.
After a while, Pei Chen's voice seemed a little strange: "I'm ...... Gou Chen's reincarnation? β
"No, it hasn't reached the level of reincarnation, it's probably just a thought incarnation." Chaos Zhong told frankly, "Gou Chen has been incarnated into hundreds of billions of dollars, and there are countless distractions, but there is no reincarnation...... Because He was not reincarnated, but he was reduced to zero, his own existence was fundamentally separated, and his qi was scattered among the void realms for hundreds of millions of heavens...... You are one of them, you are Gou Chen, but Gou Chen is not you. β
"I said before, 'you' haven't woken up yet-"
ββ¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β
"But if you fail to preach, you can only die, this is what the heavenly immortals have witnessed, is there any fake?" Pei Chen shook his head, he was unprecedentedly calm, he quickly thought about and integrated the clues and information he had obtained, hoping to deny this terrible fact.
"If you don't become a Taoist, you will become ashes. Failure of the sermon is only the death of the body and the ashes of the calamity, which is of course an unchangeable iron rule - but what if Gou Chen did not fail at all?! Otherwise, there is no reincarnation at all, and there is no chance of reincarnation, and it is naturally even more impossible to distract from the incarnation. "Zhong Bo is leisurely, shaking time," the failure of the preaching is just a pretense, if it were not for the fact that the heavenly immortals and bodhisattvas of the two schools of Buddha and Dao had witnessed Gou Chen's achievements fall short before his enlightenment, and made them believe that Gou Chen's victory was indeed a complete defeat, how could they do that strategy of hiding from the heavens and crossing the sea? β
Pei Chen said with difficulty: "What...... Meaning? β
"Do you know that the best time to attain enlightenment in an epoch is either the 129,600 years after the beginning of the epoch or the 129,600 years before the end...... Because the heavens and the earth are just opening, the rules are evolving, and they have not yet been perfected and rigorous; At the end of the catastrophe, the rules are loosened, and new legal principles are generated, conflicted, and run-in. But no matter what, the shackles on living beings have been removed, and the opportunity for enlightenment is better than in other periods. β
For some reason, the innate gods in Zhong Nai actually had questions to answer immediately, and they had no intention of concealing them.
"Although Gou Chen rose in one life, he missed the period of the Ancient Heavenly Court, and also missed the best opportunity to become enlightened...... Moreover, when they reached the top, they blocked the way in every way. Even if they choose to open up and end the period before the end, and avoid the greatest catastrophe of the Heavenly Wrath Heavenly Killing Machine, there are still others who will stop those who want to become enlightened...... It is no longer empty of great perseverance, great wisdom, and great firmness, and it is possible to achieve the past by upholding one's own heart, but it is more dependent on the game of other enlightened beings. No matter how firm your heart is, no matter how wise and persevering you are, you can't withstand the light finger of them......"
A pretense from the beginning?
"Heavenly Emperor Gou Chen didn't expect to succeed in preaching and replace the concept of Haotian God?" Pei Chen asked in a deep voice, as if he wanted to determine something.
"Nature." Zhong Bo shook slightly.
"Then what is he for...... Pei Chen's heart has already set off turbulent waves, and he whispered to himself in disbelief.
Listening to the secrets told by Fairy Qingyao before, he originally thought that the Heavenly Emperor Gou Chen was just before he preached, and he was worried that the Buddhist family would be dominant after the failure, so he secretly planned to give the immeasurable Buddha Land a heavy blow, so that the Buddha Gate was powerless to act rashly even after the four Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court Dao Gate disappeared and fell one after another. But I didn't think that this one was not there to maintain the heavenly court at all, but to take one step at a time and look at ten steps, and take everything into account.
- Even the failure of the sermon was just a pretense, and from the beginning he never thought of really replacing Haotian God...... Sure enough, those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek for a while?!
Wait a minute! Since it was a strategy to deceive the heavens and cross the sea, then his goal was not the true spiritual karma of the Haotian God from the beginning, so what was it?!
Raising his head in a daze, he looked around at the hall where the surrounding space had become vast and endless, and finally his gaze was fixed on his own ten steps ago: "...... Donghuang Taiyi? β
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God.
The Tao is an impersonal God, a corrective force in direction. 'God' is the personified Word, a continuation of the Word. What the enlightened person seeks is to become a 'god' that symbolizes the continuation of the Tao, and an original personality that is eternal with the Tao but retains its own knowledge, memory, and emotions. Whether it is Haotian God or the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, it is a personified concept of a grand and boundless 'Dao', which has not yet become an entity, and symbolizes a true spiritual karma that can be realized through falsehood.
"I should have thought of it...... The Haotian Mirror in the hands of the fairy is a genuine differentiation, and the body has always been in the fairy world, but the Eastern Emperor Bell has never appeared, and what is left in the fairy world is only legends...... "Pei Chen just wanted to laugh out loud now, and a funny feeling came to his heart, only feeling extremely absurd and incredible.
The bell did not ring, and there was silence.
Eventually, He calmed down and asked, "Does the fact that I know these things now mean that the time has come?" β
"Yes, from now on, with you as the main being, you can gradually return to your original face and former nature."
"So what? Will I become the Emperor of Heaven? Pei Chen sneered.
As if sensing his attitude of resisting emotions and uncooperation, Zhong Bo paused: "It's not to become the Heavenly Emperor Gou Chen, but to become the Heavenly Emperor Gou Chen...... You were Him, but now you don't remember it anymore and forget about it, but that doesn't change the fact that you are still Him. β
Pei Chen took two steps forward, staring at the Heavenly Emperor Dao who was crowned with beads, and spoke in an indifferent voice, as if to show his firm will: "However, I would rather be myself!" β
If you really wake up to the so-called 'past', then is your current self still yourself? The same is empathy and personal experience, but a life of 100 years and a life of 10 million years, do you think that period is your main experience memory? What is the true self at that time?
"How do you know who you are?"
"But I'm Pei Chen, not Gou Chen!!" Pei Chen was distraught, his tone was irritable, and his voice suddenly raised.
ββ¦β¦ Then why are you called Pei Chen? The Dao Weapon God bred by the Innate Supreme Treasure was still not in a hurry, and said leisurely, but this time it was in another ancient language, and the worst thing was that Pei Chen understood it at once.
It is the language of ancient mythology, the pronunciation is unusually strange, slightly related to the ancient Chinese Chinese, similar to the same line and then branching. It's just that in this language, the pronunciation of the word 'Pei Chen' is no different from the word 'Beichen' -
The pillar of heaven is high and the north is far away, and the stars arch over it.
The North Pole is called the North Star, which is also known as the North Star. In ancient times, the North Star belonged to Ziweiyuan, which happened to be 'Gou Chen'.
