Taishang survived the five decays of heaven and man, and as the first god and demon to survive the fifth decay of heaven and man before becoming an ancestor, Taishang sent merit from heaven to show reward.

Taishang's move caused an uproar in the flood famine, and also directly caused two consequences.

First, more and more great gods are trying to survive the five decays of heaven and man, because at this stage, a considerable number of great gods are innate gods and demons, and they have survived the fifth decline of heaven and man according to their innate powers.

But in fact, Taishang's tribulation is completely different from that of other great gods, and Taishang forcibly crossed the tribulation with his own perseverance.

And the second consequence of the decay of Taishang's strength is that the future path of Taishang becomes brighter.

In fact, no one knows that the source of the fifth decline of heaven and man, the fifth decline of gods and demons, is the obsession of gods and demons.

Obsession is the strongest thought of gods and demons, and Pangu's obsession is the way of heaven, which can easily suppress all avenues, including righteous demons.

And what Taishang is fighting against is his own obsession.

Victory, the Taishang will control his obsession, and from then on the cultivation will be smooth sailing, going farther than other gods and demons; defeat, although he will not die, but the Taishang can only follow the same path as other gods and demons, and what is worse is that this will seriously damage the Dao heart of the Taishang.

This is a battle that no one takes seriously, but in fact, its impact is far-reaching: the combat power of the later Taishang finally surpassed Yuan Shi and became the first saint under Hongjun, because of the foundation laid by this battle.

Seeing that Taishang had survived the calamity, Yuan Shi and Tongtian stepped forward to congratulate.

Taishang said with a smile: "I thought that the fifth decay of heaven and man was a test of my cultivation and Taoism, but I didn't expect that it was the Dao heart and perseverance that were tested. ”

Tongtian said: "The firmness of the eldest brother's Dao heart is unparalleled in the world, and this heavenly decay can be regarded as meeting an opponent." ”

Yuan Shidao: "Big brother, what are you going to do next?"

Taishang said: "After that, I will start retreat, and after all these years of practice, I have found the path I want to take, and the path I want to attain is close at hand. ”

Yuan Shi was overjoyed: "Big brother, have you found the method of enlightenment?"

Taishang said: "Yes, in order to let my Dao focus on battle, I thought of a supernatural power of an incarnation outside my body, transferring the laws that have nothing to do with conquest into the incarnation. ”

Yuan Shi's eyes lit up, and he said: "Can the method of the outer incarnation of the eldest brother be taught to the younger brother, and let the younger brother also learn from it." ”

Taishang said: "What is this?" ”

After Taishang finished speaking, he pointed out, and the informatization of the method of incarnation outside the body made two blue rays of light, shooting into the Yuan Shi and the sea of knowledge that passed through the sky.

Yuan Shi and Tongtian carefully comprehended the method of this external incarnation, and exclaimed: "Big brother is really extraordinary, Jing can create such a wonderful method. ”

Taishang said: "You and my brothers don't have to praise each other, the path of cultivation is endless, you should also go back and cultivate well, I will also go into retreat." ”

"Yes, big brother. "The beginning and the beginning of the heavens.

Yuan Shi and Tongtian had just turned back to their dojo, and suddenly received a teleportation from Hongjun Ancestor: Retribution Ancestor summoned all Ancestors to gather in Zixiao Palace to discuss something.

Yuan Shi rushed to Zixiao Palace, except for the ancestor of Rahu who retreated and cultivated and did not ask about world affairs, including the ancestor of Hongjun, thirteen ancestors gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

Listening to the retribution ancestor explain the situation, Yuan Shi understood what was going on.

It turned out to be a matter of heaven and man.

The eighteen great gods of the Battle of the Secret Realm back then had already had the Tao of the peak gods, and anyone could preach the Tao at any time.

However, when a new path is born, at least nine eons apart, will others be able to preach.

If this continues, at most two or three of the eighteen great gods of that year will have the opportunity to preach again, and the others will all fall under the five decays of heaven and man.

Although Taishang has just survived the five decays of heaven and man, Taishang's strength far exceeds that of his peers, and Taishang dares to cross the five decays of heaven and man, and others dare not try it easily.

Yuan Shi and Tongtian knew that the innate gods had innate power, and there was no problem at all in overcoming the five decays of heaven and man. However, the mystery of innate power, Yuan Shi and Tongtian naturally will not be easily leaked, maybe other ancestors have also discovered it, but their thoughts are the same as Yuan Shi.

The ancestor will not attach much importance to his descendants, no matter how close the bloodline is, if he does not have the qualifications to preach.

It's not that the ancestors are indifferent, but that the ancestors are already immortal, and they are used to seeing life and death, and they don't dare to put too much love on those descendants who have no hope of enlightenment, because their hearts have been broken by the continuous fall of their relatives.

But once any descendant has the hope of enlightenment, even if it is only a little bit, the ancestor will do his best to escort his growth. Otherwise, Wuji Ancestor would not have been the enemy of Sanqing many times.

Now in the wilderness, the number of great gods is more than three thousand, and there are not one hundred or eighty who have the upper level of the great gods, but in the hearts of the ancestors, the most promising and capable of preaching, only these eighteen great gods back then can be said to be half-step ancestors. Only after these eighteen great gods have preached, will the ancestors turn their attention to the other great gods.

But now, these eighteen half-step ancestors have the ability to preach, but for inexplicable reasons, they have fallen under the five decays of heaven and man, which is absolutely unbearable for all ancestors.

Thirteen ancestors gathered in Zixiao Palace.

Qiankun Ancestor asked, "Why isn't Ancestor Rahu here?"

The Retribution Ancestor smiled bitterly and said: "Since the Immortal Law has been handed down, the Ancestor of Rahu has been in retreat and penance, and almost no longer pays attention to the desolate world. Even this seat and Wuji have only seen him three times, and they have heard him say less than ten words. ”

Hongjun Ancestor sighed and said, "Daoyou Rahu has drilled the tip of the horns." ”

Raising his eyebrows, the ancestor said: "Since Rahu doesn't ask about the world, then we don't have to wait for him, let's discuss the right thing." ”

The Chaos Ancestor who had just been promoted to the Mixed Yuan realm said: "Everyone knows what is going on in our gathering place, so there is no need to talk nonsense. Fellow Daoists, who knows what the hell is going on?"

No one spoke, and if the reason was known, there would be no need to gather here.

Wuji Ancestor said: "Origin Daoist, what you are proving is the Great Dao of Wisdom, what do you think?"

Everyone looked at the beginning.

Yuan Shi saw everyone looking at him and said, "This seat has a little idea, I don't know if it's true." ”

Qiankun Old Ancestor said: "It doesn't hurt to talk about the first Taoist friend, whether it is true or not, we can refer to it together." ”

Yuan Shi said: "I think that the restriction of these nine calamities may be due to merit and luck. ”

The Raised Eyebrows Ancestor and the Mixed Kun Ancestor were shocked, and seemed to understand something.

Seeing that others were still puzzled, Yuan Shi explained: "Every ancestor will open up an era of his own avenue, what is the use of this era, for ordinary gods and demons, it is just a mark of the division of an era, but for the ancestor of the era, it is of great significance. In its own era, every new piece of luck generated by the flood wilderness must be divided into one of the era ancestors. These qi luck are an important foundation for this ancestor's future cultivation. ”

Yuan Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The end of the era is the beginning of the ancestor's cultivation, and the era is just the cornerstone of the ancestor's stable realm. ”

Raising his eyebrows, the ancestor understood: "Therefore, for the sake of one's own future development, the merits of the Great Dao can suppress the luck, and the merits of the Great Dao itself will forcibly suppress the luck of others and prevent others from preaching, so as to ensure that they can collect enough luck, and the merits of the Great Dao can suppress at least nine eons of time." In the past, there were few great gods who had the ability to preach, so the time of each epoch was very long, and it could even reach more than a hundred eons, so this problem was not obvious. However, since the Heavenly Dao Era, there have been eighteen Daoists who have the resources to preach, and each of them is vying to preach, so the time limit for these nine calamities has leaked out. ”

Yuan Shi nodded: "The Nine Quantities Tribulation should be the lower limit of the epoch's time. If the more merit the Era Ancestor himself has, the longer it will be suppressed against others, so there are twelve calamities in the Wisdom Era of this throne, and ten calamities in the Divine Power Era of the Heavenly Realm. ”

Hearing Yuan Shi say this, the ancestors understood, and they also looked at Yuan Shi and Tongtian with envy.

In the era before the beginning of the Yuan, the level of the gods and demons civilization was still very low, and the development of an era to the peak was only millions of gods and demons, dozens of great gods, although the era was long, but not much luck was collected, after the beginning of the Yuan Dao, the qualitative transformation of the gods and demons civilization leaped, the number of gods and demons was tens of millions, and the number of gods and demons was thousands. And Yuan Shi and Tongtian suppressed the era with their own merits, and forcibly extended the era for one to three tribulations, and the luck of this harvest was gone.

Yuan Shi said the reason for his conjecture, and all the ancestors thought so.

Wuji Ancestor looked at Yuan Shi and said, "Now that the reason has been found, it's time to discuss what to do." ”

Yuan Shi said: "Wuji Daoist looks at this seat, do you think that this seat will have a way?"

Wuji Ancestor said: "You have a way, because you have the Peach Divine Tree." ”

The ancestors were moved and looked at Yuan Shi.

Tongtian said angrily: "Wuji Daoist, you have bad intentions. ”

Wuji smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, how do you have bad intentions in this seat. ”

Tongtian said: "The peach god tree is my second brother's thing, even the second brother's beloved son can't be shared by everyone, why give it to others, you deliberately said this, just to make my second brother difficult to be a man." ”

Yuan Shi waved his hand, stopped Tongtian, the purpose of Wuji Ancestor was clear at a glance, and pointed out the existence of the Pan Tao Divine Tree, and then no matter the Yuan Shi Day and the decision, whether to give it or not, how to give it, to whom, there are always people who can't get it, after all, the Pan Tao Divine Tree only bears a peach after nine tribulations, and the monks have more porridge and less, and those who can't get it will inevitably have a grudge against Yuan Shi.

Wuji Ancestor only needs to point out the existence of the Pan Tao Divine Tree, and its purpose has been achieved, this is a yang scheme, it is so, it is useless to say more.

It is not a secret that the peach tree at the beginning of the year was a blessing for the Lord, and the divine effect of the peach tree had long been propagated.

Without proving that the ancestor can live forever, what a temptation this is, which has attracted many gods and demons to want to fight the idea of the Yuan Shi Pan Peach Divine Tree, but because of the prestige of the Yuan Shi, they have to give up.

Yuan Shidao: "This seat does have a peach, which can make people immortal, but this seat does not recommend using a peach to solve the problem." ”

Wuji Ancestor sneered: "Origin Daoist Friend is not reluctant!"

Yuan Shi said: "It's not that this seat is reluctant, but because the peach is not a good thing, and it is harmful and useless to use it." ”

Wuji Ancestor said: "If you don't want to, you don't want to, why should the Origin Daoist make a fool of yourself?"

Seeing that the other ancestors were also looking at him, Yuan Shi said: "All of you Daoists are people who have preached the Tao, and your vision is not ordinary, you should understand that there is no perfect thing in the world, that is, your Dao, do you think it must be perfect?"

Pick up the ancestor and say: "Yuan Shi Daoyou means that there are hidden dangers in the peach?"

Yuan Shi nodded: "Pan Tao, can make people immortal like the ancestor without proving the Great Dao, how can there be such a beautiful thing in the world?"
