Chapter 498 Yuqing Origins

[This is impossible!] Mister Gu was in the future of the Old Yuqing, and he couldn't believe that Yuanshi Tianzun had actually disappeared. The ultimate thing he sought had vanished like smoke, and the Daoist myth that had been passed down through the ages, from ancient times to the distant future, had also been terminated.

Yuanshi Tianzun was gone.

What was the name of the supreme deity who was eulogized in the myths?

There was no name anymore.

The events that were praised no longer existed, and the beings who carried out the praise were also gone from the fragments of history.

Yuqing was truly shattered, to the point that this path was abandoned.

[Without the beginning, Yuqing ceases to exist. If Yuqing ceases to exist, then what are we?]

[Who is the divine master of Yuqing?]

[No! Yuanshi Tianzun has not disappeared. If he disappeared, everything in Yuqing, and even the Yuqing Realm, would not exist. There would be no defined demise, completely disappearing from history, leaving no trace in the past or future, as if being forcibly extracted.]

[But now, I still remember Yuqing, I still remember the Yuqing cultivators and Yuanshi Tianzun. Yuanshi Tianzun has not disappeared; he has merely gone to a place that rejects me, forbidding me, or forbidding all Yuqing cultivators, from entering, because we never existed in that place! Naturally, we cannot enter....]

[Could it be.... there is an 'unknown history'!]

Mister Gu's wisdom was unmatched, and his knowledge was extremely broad. After thinking, he came to the conclusion that Yuanshi Tianzun had jumped into an independent history that was unknown to anyone.

People have definite records of history, written in historical books for later generations to view. Those without definite records are passed down orally, which is praise. Generally, they are either inscribed in visible things or circulated within wishes and beings themselves.

And those histories that can be easily traced back or even fabricated, even without deliberately replacing the real history, are moments that are vague in praise and records, where even mortals can wantonly tamper with their past.

When the Tianxin (Celestial Heart) experts are in the future and reflecting the past, they will also encounter obstacles left by some past experts, and even some eras are blurred, leaving behind various mysteries that even the Tianxin experts cannot easily crack. Just like the Han Dynasty, when the Immortal Dao was strong and Confucianism was also prosperous, so that period of history was controlled by them, making it difficult to verify.

But if there is a period of history that is not known to everyone, has never been praised in the world, and there is not even a single record of it, to the point that even the Yuqing cultivators cannot find this period of history when tracing back their true form...

Then, Yuanshi Tianzun has entered such a piece of history.

And then.....

[So, no matter how much I trace back, I can't see Yuanshi Tianzun. He is not in the known history, but in another history isolated from the world.]

[I am not in that history, and I will never see Yuanshi.]

Any history is related. The universe is up, down, left, and right, and the past and present are called the cosmos. Such as the various Dharma realms of the heavens, and even the Vajra Great Realm, the Great Floating Li Earth, or the illusory years fabricated by the Tianxin experts, like parallel worlds, all have historical trajectories to follow. This kind of history must have contact with the outside world. Once contact is made, it can be traced back to.

In the end, how many worlds and years have been praised? Countless since ancient times. Just like those Dao, even the same sect has different legends. Thus, in different legends and praises, there is Yuanshi Tianzun who pioneered the world, and there is also Taishang Laojun.

They are all things in praise, and they only live in the origin of praise. Every origin that is praised relies on the power of the future to exist and go further, driving the future to become stronger.

.......

"Without seeing Yuanshi, in a sense, Mister Gu's crisis is resolved."

Yuan Huang was more realistic. He found that although Mister Gu was still left in the Old Yuqing World, his connection with him had become shallow, because the absence of the important Yuanshi Tianzun made his goal of achieving the position of Yuanshi impossible.

But Mister Gu still wanted to see Yuanshi again. Yuan Huang, located in the distant past, also simply tried to continue tracing back, only to find that the historical moment when Yuanshi Tianzun should have appeared was now empty.

Yuan Huang thought, since the position of Yuanshi Tianzun does not exist, why not replace him?

It was when this idea arose and he wanted to put it into practice, although the phenomena related to the beginning of Yuanshi Tianzun had vanished like smoke, Yuan Huang found that he had no way to go to this piece of history.

Because he was a Yuqing cultivator, and still related to Yuanshi.

"Yuanshi Tianzun has vanished like smoke, and the myriad phenomena related to Yuanshi cannot appear naturally."

"Because no one praises Yuanshi Tianzun anymore, even if many people praise me, I cannot intervene in the history related to Yuanshi Tianzun."

"I am trapped. This is not good."

Yuan Huang noticed an even more terrible trouble.

Unable to leave Yuanshi, unable to replace Yuanshi, and these Yuqing cultivators have also lost the beginning of themselves.

Just as the Golden Elixir Great Dao opened up a clear future, there is always a future surrounding the path of the Golden Elixir Great Dao. The Corpse 解 Immortals fantasized about the origin of Yuqing, and Yuanshi Tianzun was born because of this. The Yuqing cultivators of later generations continued to praise the name of Yuanshi, so that they obtained the Dharma image and mighty power of Yuanshi Tianzun.

The past and the future complement each other.

But now the past is gone, and everything in the future related to this past, although it still exists, is also excluded from other histories, because they are out of tune with the corrected years.

They seem to never have existed in the years, nor should they be in history.

"Tianxin experts can reflect history and fabricate history."

"The Tianxin of Yuqing can even trace back history and replace anything at will. Destroying the origin, it can be recreated. This kind of thing has not happened before. If there is a force blocking the Tianxin Realm, is this force from within the Dao?"

Yuan Huang had never encountered this kind of thing either, and he fell into deep thought.

Tianxin was already a rare realm in the world. Even the heart of heaven could be stolen and replaced, and manipulated with one's own will. Cause and effect, heavenly secrets, and even history can be recreated, but now, because of the disappearance of an origin, it is rejected by history.

History should have been something that they could modify at will, which was insignificant.

The future creates the history of the past.

The history of the past may not have existed, but was created by many Tianxin. What makes people confused is only the definition of each piece of past and future.

Rejected, and even suppressed, by insignificant things.

Unimaginable for Tianxin Realm.

"Perhaps, the heart always has a beginning, and the Tianxin Realm is the same. What we have lost may not be a simple origin, but something more important."

"It is something from the beginning."

........

If I do not leave the Xuanxiang (Dark Image), then I can become the origin of this Second Yuqing, eternally residing before all things.

But this is not proving the Dao, but becoming a part of the Dao.

The Dao is the greatest, the most mysterious, and the deepest. It encompasses everything, gives everything, and can take back everything.

Yuanshi Tianzun proved the Xuanxiang in the Second Yuqing. He took a step closer to the Dao because he came from the Xuanxiang.

But I will leave the Xuanxiang, because I was not born from the Xuanxiang.

The Innate Heart can evolve the Xuanxiang, and truly return to the time of the Xuanxiang, so that the Tianzun of the world can see the Xuanxiang, but it cannot allow those who achieve the Innate Heart to completely transform into the Xuanxiang.

If it could, that would be to become the body of the Dao, in the unknowable.

The Dao may be the Xuanxiang itself, or it may be above the High, in the depths of the Xuanxiang.

"The name of praise, giving form to things that never existed, making it possess great power, constantly elevating it, but it can never reach the highest realm."

"If the first empty thought arises, everything will fall."

"From the past to the future, everything is evolved from the single thought of the Xuanxiang. Because the body of the Dao is empty, all the myriad phenomena lose their Dao, and all are made of emptiness."

"Then the Innate Heart is the first to see the virtual body of the Xuanxiang. At this time, seeing the Xuanxiang, there is an earlier and closer origin to the Dao."

Ji Xiang only felt that this proposition was too grand.

Emptiness and reality are originally very simple and easy to understand things that can be easily dialectical.

But if you add the Xuanxiang, it becomes difficult to say, because the Xuanxiang cannot be defined and cannot be spoken of. Even the word Xuanxiang itself may be wrong.

But, more people in the world cannot even know the meaning represented by the word Xuanxiang.

So seeing the Xuanxiang is already surpassing the vast majority of beings in the world.

"Hmm?"

In the process of leaving the Xuanxiang, Ji Xiang seemed to see a light. The light did not come from any history, nor should it have appeared in the Second Yuqing that he had just created.

It pierced in from the "outside", extremely dazzling.

"It's because I left the Xuanxiang."

Ji Xiang knew where this light came from. This was the history of this Second Yuqing beginning to move. Because he left the Xuanxiang, the world evolved from "Wu Ji" (Limitless) to "Tai Ji" (Supreme Ultimate). Yin and Yang were originally one, and they were opposite sides to each other. Therefore, if he left the Xuanxiang, the Dao would give birth to Yin and Yang.

Thus, all kinds of things in the world began to appear. This moment was the origin and beginning of the world.

It was the real "Moment of Yuanshi"!

"And when I leave the Second Yuqing, the Tianxin Realm is in the future, and the past and the future are one. I come from the very first beginning in the past, and in the next moment I come to the distant future."

Ji Xiang's thought arose, and he took another step.

Thus, the Immortal Mountain hung in the world, and the clear Qi rose to the sky. There were various Immortals and Gods lined up in front, sitting down in order, to listen to him tell some sacred scriptures passed down from the ancient times.

From the Xuanxiang to the prosperous age of immortality.

Rebuild Yuqing and recalculate Dayuan.

"The origin of Yuqing, the vacant position of Yuanshi, the place where the true body of the Dao once was."

"In the history unknown to all the Dao."

Ji Xiang looked to the future, waiting here.

He had already foreseen the arrival of the Green Ram, and this event would happen in the next thought.
