When Li Zhen explained his understanding of the relationship between heaven and earth, Chi Yunzi unexpectedly said: "You are wrong, the underworld is never the source, but the destination!

It is the place where turbid air settles. All living beings in heaven, the human world, the underworld, and the three realms are constantly flowing between the pure and the turbid, but in the end they all return to the underworld, just like the sand in a clepsydra!"

Li Zhen was surprised: "If the heaven, earth and the universe are clepsydras and all living beings are gravel, then... what is heaven and what is earth? What are immortals and demons?"

Chi Yunzi sighed softly and said: "Heaven is like earth, immortals are like demons, yin and yang are mixed together, and then it becomes the Tao!

All things in this world are one, and they are all formed by the changes of the two scorpions. It is the appearance of the day after tomorrow that makes them different."

Hearing this, Li Zhen fell into deep thought.

From the moment it was created, the heaven, earth and universe have been constantly moving and changing. This is its vitality.

However, as clear air rises and turbid air descends, there is always a flow pattern that is difficult to reverse, and over time, it gradually becomes extreme.

It cannot be divided by simple space. It does not mean that the sky is above and the earth is below. The "sand" that makes up everything really flows from above to below.

This is just a metaphor, the reality is an irreversible law under known conditions - karma cannot be eliminated!

Cause and effect give rise to tribulations, and tribulations make the avenues of heaven and earth filthy, depleting their origins and gradually becoming dead.

Locally, it will be limited and self-purifying as time goes by, but when magnified to the level of the entire universe, it is indelible.

This is because the elimination of this calamity actually precipitates along with the source of the pollution, rather than really disappearing out of thin air.

The war between immortals and demons is a catastrophe, and it is also a last resort method to eliminate the catastrophe, because it can use chaos to confuse the three realms and allow the origin to flow again.

Therefore, this level is far more cruel and terrifying than imagined.

It wants to cause the great power to fall, the origin to be released, the fairy mountain to be destroyed, the heaven and the earth to be reset, and everything to flow again.

From this, Li Zhen finally understood why the trend of the heaven, earth and universe was from the age of gods and demons to the end of the Dharma.

In the renewal of each era, important original forces will be stained and precipitated by the karma of cause and effect. Enough turmoil can reverse the cause and effect and reappear.

However, in later generations, the origin is hidden and the magical power is not revealed, so how can this be achieved?

The vitality of the heaven, earth and universe will only continue to disappear and turn into a pool of stagnant water.

The protagonists of the past dynasties, the sons of fate, and the people who are destined to disaster, not only cannot escape the disputes, but must stir up the storm, cause greater turmoil, and kill more powerful and powerful people in order to create peace for future generations!

This is really a contradiction.

"Let's not mention those things for now. If we join the rule of Heaven and become the righteous path of the Immortal Sect, what responsibilities should we bear?"

Li Zhen came back to his senses and asked.

The matter of Heaven and Earth Avenue only allowed him to understand the current situation more deeply, and at the moment, choosing a camp was undoubtedly more important.

Chi Yunzi said: "It's very simple. Kill the demons and eliminate them, and establish the right path!"

Li Zhendao: "We have always done this."

Chi Yunzi said: "It is still different. In the past, you were doing it for self-protection, and you were also swaying by the instinct of reckless forces. The responsibilities that the Immortal Sect should bear are more important. You must even consider the interests of all the Immortal Sects and accept orders from others.

The overall arrangement of heaven.”

Li Zhen nodded slightly and said: "This is the meaning of the title. If necessary, our sect will accept the arrangement."

Chi Yunzi said solemnly: "I hope you can remember what you said."

Li Zhendao: "Once you become an immortal sect, you will become the mortal enemy of the devil. I won't play tricks on you, but there should be a limit to accepting arrangements. It is impossible for heaven to send a supreme sect master to rule us, right?"

Chi Yunzi said: "Don't worry, Heaven is Heaven, Immortal Sect is Immortal Sect, nothing like this will happen.

In fact, the heavens of the past dynasties have never considered directly controlling the earth. This has a lot to do with the existence form of the gods and the power of the heaven itself.

Heaven itself is the embodiment of heaven's way and order, and it is impossible to break this pattern and directly control it on its own.

The incense gods and secular dynasties set up on the ground are all maintaining the pattern of heaven, earth and people. The immortal gate represents the earth immortal world. If you can join, you will share the earth immortal status!"

Li Zhen said: "That's it, I understand!"

In fact, he is not too worried about Heavenly Court intervening in the internal affairs of the Immortal Sect. In addition to what Chi Yunzi said, Heavenly Court itself is the embodiment of the order of heaven, and there is another major reason why they cannot do it.

The world is so vast, and how costly it would be for Heaven to sort out all these forces one by one and control them?

This kind of thing does not mean just clearing out the opponents. It also requires governance and governance.

Therefore, even the dynasties in the human world have the right of autonomy, and the heavenly court only enjoys incense and supervises.

It is not that there are no Yuanying gods in this world. The great powers of all parties are themselves important forces in the three realms. Both immortals and demons have to fight for it, so how can they be easily controlled?

Once the interests of many powerful people are touched at the same time, if you are not anxious, other immortal sects will be anxious too.

Chi Yunzi said: "So, the immortal sect basically listens to the instructions but not the announcements. When necessary, they send experts to heaven to listen to the seals, or they may bear the responsibility of making corresponding donations and suppressing demons.

In addition, it also has an important responsibility, which is to govern the ground and assume similar functions to a secular dynasty.

I think the Jixiang Sect has quite a lot of experience in this regard, so why not choose the route of governing the world, provide heaven with incense and faith, and choose a god to enshrine it in Zen!"

This is actually similar to the outer courtyard where some major sects are stationed in the mortal world, opening their doors regularly to recruit new members.

The Jixiang Sect has been cultivating the secular world for more than a hundred years, and although the wealth accumulated is not as good as that of the Daqian Dynasty that unified Xuanzhou, it still has a lot of ordinary people.

Isn't it more comfortable to promote heaven and heavenly beliefs, canonize gods, and provide incense here than those old sects offering treasures such as immortal mushrooms and spiritual roots?

Now even if the Heavenly Court wants Jixiang Sect to send out masters to go to Heaven to listen to the title, or to pay tribute to some heavenly materials and earthly treasures, they can't afford it.

Therefore, this responsibility is actually tailor-made for Jixiang Sect.

Letting Li Zhen go to heaven and become a god would only create one more true king, a master at the level of a heavenly king, and might ruin his potential, but by cultivating the ground and becoming a god, the results would be limitless.

Heavenly Court has some understanding of Li Zhe's path and has expectations for him. Now it is time to put it into practice and truly make it work for him.

"Listen to the tune rather than the announcement... This is in line with what I thought before. However, under the rule of heaven, it seems that there are various mountain gods and lands to control the earth. How do you calculate this?" Li Zhen asked.

Chi Yunzi said: "Of course it is appointed by heaven."

Li Zhen smiled and said: "But I heard that even on the Xuanzhou side, the people's wishes are the same, and the imperial court can only grant the incense god.

If our Jixiang Sect is an immortal sect and wants to go one step further than Xuanzhou and have the authority to confer gods and abolish its own power, Heavenly Court will not interfere.

As for the responsibilities of those gods, they are supervised by our own sect, and they also obey the instructions rather than the announcements."

When Chi Yunzi, Master Qingyu and Master Yingxuan heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

"If you can declare a god on your own, the Heavenly Court will not interfere? There are also those gods who will listen to the instructions but not the declaration. What is the difference between this and setting up a small Heavenly Court?"

Li Zhen said: "The Heavenly Court is so powerful that if we don't agree to these conditions, our sect will feel very insecure."

Chi Yunzi and others were almost laughed at by him.

If heaven is really powerful and there is no sense of security, then shouldn't he be trembling and begging for orders? How can he still have the guts to ask for this or that?

"If you have any other requests, just tell them all." Chi Yunzi was not as knowledgeable as Li Zhen, so he just said, "I also said before that you can speak freely, but after it is finalized, it should not be changed easily.

"

Li Zhen said: "Okay, then please forgive me for speaking frankly.

If you are lucky enough to join the rule of the Heavenly Court and become a member of the righteous path of the Immortal Sect, we, the Jixiang Sect, will definitely take it as our own responsibility to eliminate demons and defend the path, and fulfill our duties in our own path. However, within the sphere of control, all monks and gods will obey.

If you don't listen to the announcement, everything is governed by the legal system of this sect.

In addition, we will expand within the four seas, and will bring more territory under our control. As long as we can gain it, we will rule it under the same conditions.

As for my expectations for Heavenly Court and other immortal sects, there is nothing special about them, just treat them fairly.

We, the Jixiang Sect, will receive the rights and benefits that other immortal sects should have as usual, and we, the Jixiang Sect, will also bear the obligations that other immortal sects should fulfill..."

After this confidential conversation, it was almost noon, and Li Zhen temporarily arranged for the three Yuanying masters to stay here in Fangshi.

The three of them remained noncommittal until they had a private discussion and couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly.

Master Qingyu couldn't help but said: "This Li Zhen is really ignorant. He is obviously a relative of the Xuanxin Peak lineage and has a close relationship with the Heavenly Lord Linghui, but he still puts forward such conditions.

Doesn't he have any requirements? It's like a lion opening his mouth!"

Master Ying Xuan also said: "It is simply unreasonable to keep saying that you only seek fairness, but at the same time it violates the authority of the heaven to become a god!

I have never heard of an immortal sect conferring gods on its own. This is the hub of Tao, heaven, earth, and people. It is also the foundation for heaven to monitor the world, control incense, and destiny. How can even the grassroots gods ask him to appoint himself? "

Chi Yunzi shook his head and sighed, "I think it's not that he doesn't understand, but he understands it too well!

This is clearly an attempt to retreat, trying to force Heavenly Court to make concessions through such conditions, or to delay the time of joining Heavenly Court."

The two people were slightly different when they heard the words: "How do you say this?"

Chi Yunzi said: "Outsiders don't know what is going on in Heaven right now. Don't you two know it too?"

Master Ying Xuan hesitated and said: "The current heaven...is indeed in the ascendant!"

Chi Yunzi said: "It is not only in the ascendant, it is simply a primitive creation. So far, there are still only a dozen heavenly kings, a hundred star officials, and heavenly generals!

Put on the ground, this is the level of more than ten Nascent Souls and hundreds of pills. For ordinary sects, it is more than enough, but for the Heavenly Court, which governs the heavens and controls all walks of life, it is simply pitifully shabby!

Until now, I have been relying on that person's personal strength to support me. Even He can only maintain the might of God, but is unable to manage and develop..."

Ying Xuanzhen said: "So, now that the Heavenly Court is using its gods, it is not an exaggeration to buy a piece of gold to sell one's bones!"

Chi Yunzi said: "Yes, Li Zhen has understood this exactly and wants to seek greater autonomy."

Qingyu Zhenren said: "Currently, Heaven is facing many difficulties. The situation is not very good. Demonic cultivators are also frequently causing trouble in various places. Maybe some concessions have to be made. But being a god is the bottom line of Heaven. It is impossible to use this kind of power.
