The fairy father

The Taoist intention arose in the nine heavens, and thunder arose in Xizhou.

Li Ping'an sailed across the sky, waiting for his opportunity to appear.

In his estimation, even if the human side had the upper hand from the beginning of this war, it would take at least dozens of days to complete the encirclement of the Lingshan area.

Therefore, he looked down at all sentient beings from a high place, and gained inspiration from thinking about the relationship between 'war and peace' and 'living beings and the way of heaven'. Without much hesitation, he began to meditate with his eyes closed and comprehend carefully.

He has been on the battlefield between humans and monsters;

That experience gave him a deeper understanding of the war between creatures that began to break out below, and many clear, tangible, flesh-and-blood pictures emerged in his heart.

Gradually, Li Ping'an's inner feelings began to overflow.

He is comprehending the way of heaven;

Also comprehending the way of life;

Or perhaps, he is not practicing Taoism, but trying to understand and resonate.

A killing cry suddenly appeared in my ears;

Li Ping'an seemed to be back in front of Suiye City again. Looking at Centurion Fu Yu who looked like a demon, his eyes suddenly went blank again.

Like a flying bird, he was at the site of the great battle in Xizhou, looking at the millions of creatures below that were colliding like torrents and dams, and at the monster soldiers that began to retreat on a large scale in just a moment.

We also saw beasts raging, and large numbers of monsters appeared on several frontal battlefields. These monsters besieged the human battle formations from all directions, and their numbers were incalculable.

Suddenly hearing the strange sound of the flute, the demon soldiers' eyes turned red.

The demon clan has begun to use the "Spirit-Addicting Art".

Li Ping'an couldn't explain clearly what state he was in now.

He looked down at the small half of Xizhou, drifting and slowly, with many enlightenments in his heart, and even directly knew the principles of "Spirit-Addicting Art".

——This technique requires planting talisman seeds in the demon soldiers and demon souls in advance, and it has a certain timeliness. Generally, it will be planted in wine by the demon king and distributed to the unsuspecting group of demons to drink.

The appearance of the beast herd and the "Spirit-Addicting Art" gradually increased the intensity of the frontal battlefield.

Li Ping'an watched all this silently, feeling all this.

Heaven seems to be trying to tell him some truth, letting him understand that it is inevitable for living beings to fight each other;

Or Tiandao wants him to understand that by containing the powerful, Tiandao protects the world and more living beings.

In Li Ping'an's perception, there seemed to be some problems with the flow of time.

His current state is like the soul leaving the body, but it is more mysterious than the soul leaving the body.

The soul still resides on the spiritual platform, and there are no differences anywhere on the spiritual platform;

The previous breath, he was still overlooking half of the Western Continent, and in his eyes he could see the rolling torrent of the power of living beings;

The next breath he took, he seemed to be standing in the center of a tragic battlefield, seeing magic weapons flying all over the sky, watching the beasts and demons being torn apart by the human battle formation, and watching the immortal soldiers who had exhausted their immortal power being swallowed up by the beasts...

Invisible and traceless, erratic and natural.

It was as if he had become the eyes of Heaven, and it was as if Heaven had given him countless pairs of new eyes.

An unknown amount of time passed like this.

The battle line began to move from south to north.

After the humans and monsters each suffered more casualties, the coaches of both sides began to consciously lengthen the front line and reduce the intensity. The humans began to focus on leveraging their advantages in battle formations, magic weapons, talismans, and elixirs, while the monsters began to continuously attack the rear. Monsters and cheap monster soldiers.

In the deserts, mountains, and lakes of Xizhou, wars have been raging since ancient times.

‘What does Heaven want me to understand? ’

‘Or is this just the way of heaven letting me see clearly the scene of creatures fighting? ’

‘It’s not quite right. Heaven doesn’t seem to want me to do anything. It’s because my Dao heart can’t calm down, so I borrowed the power of Heaven and the sight of all living beings. ’

Li Ping'an was speechless.

After realizing this, he stopped thinking randomly and concentrated on 'browsing' the battle.

He sometimes became the immortal soldier of the human race, following behind the captain, following orders from behind, encircling and slaying monsters or charging fearlessly;

Sometimes it turns into a monster full of bloodlust, rushing forward blankly, biting everything it can touch;

Sometimes they become innocent creatures affected by the war, such as an old tree, a flower, a trembling fish, and an earthworm rolling in the mud.

Many wonderful insights come from within.

There were sentences in that "Tao Jing" that he had no deep understanding of before, but now they kept coming to his mind.

There is no reason, only nature.

Li Ping'an was feeling and thinking like this while walking on the front battlefield of the Xizhou War.

Gradually, he was no longer satisfied with 'looking'.

He began to feel the emotions of the creatures that lent him his sight, as well as the strong desires in their hearts.

At this moment, Li Ping'an didn't have any personal emotional tendencies. He naturally wandered among the hearts of all living beings and heard different voices.

‘Why can’t these damn monsters die on their own! kill! Kill them all! ’

'I want to bring them back as much as possible... Damn it, if I had the cultivation of an immortal, I would definitely have fewer casualties...'

‘Death, you’re all going to die, you’re all going to die here! ’

‘Why do you want us to come and fight against the human race? I don’t eat humans, I’m here to fight. ’

'Mom, I want to go home...'

Li Ping'an listened silently, but in his sight were bright red flowers that kept blooming.

War is never an art, nor is it a continuation of politics. It is creatures killing each other and competing for their own rights to survive in the world.

It is a sin to bully the weak and start wars based on one's own strength;

Fighting back against invaders to protect your homeland is justice;

In this war that has been going on since ancient times, is the human race absolutely righteous, or is it evil? Many of these monsters absorbed the essence of the sun and moon and became spirits, and were incorporated into the caves by the great monsters. Are such creatures evil?

‘It’s just a different perspective on the problem. ’

Li Ping thought quietly.

In the small boat above the nine heavens, Li Ping'an was surrounded by strong power of heaven, and the power of heaven was constantly changing, revealing almost the entire battlefield.

What Li Ping'an didn't know was that the war had already started for several days.

The Terrans launched a frontal offensive;

Under the organization behind the Western Sect, the demon tribe gathered the power of the Western Continent to resist the human offensive with all their strength, and as usual began to harass the northern section of Dongzhou and the coast of the East China Sea.

At this moment, there was no trace of Qing Su on the boat.

She was a golden immortal from the human race. Not even half a day after the war started, she couldn't help but join in the battle.

Li Ping'an has two masters, Fairy Ziyao and Gui Lingling, by his side, but Qing Su doesn't have to worry too much about the safety of her apprentice.

"What is Master Nephew trying to figure out?"

Gui Lingling sat on the turtle shell, tilting her head and looking at the Tao Yun surging around Li Ping'an.

Fairy Ziyao couldn't help but sigh slightly. Instead of answering Gui Lingling's question, she said:

"It's really strange. He doesn't have the fate of a Heavenly Emperor, but he walks ahead of a creature like me that is destined by Heaven."

Gui Lingling asked in confusion: "What is this? Ziyao, what are you talking about in your sleep?"

"I just feel that his understanding is amazing, or maybe this is not just a matter of understanding."

There is a bit more brilliance in Ziyaofeng's eyes:

"He and the way of heaven not only resonate with each other, but the two influence each other. Compared with him, Emperor Jun back then was far inferior to him in understanding the way of heaven."

Gui Lingling rolled her eyes.

Why can't we talk and go together?

Zi Yao didn't pay much attention to the battle below, but just stared at Li Ping'an's figure, thinking quietly about something.

And her inner voice only circulated beside the treasure pool in the secret realm of West Kunlun.

‘Last time he scolded me, but he was also giving me guidance. ’

‘But I almost took the wrong path. The way of heaven is above all living beings and is closely related to all living beings. ’

"The opportunity for sanctification that I am looking for is not actually in heaven, but in all living beings. I want to be as close to all living beings as Nuwa did... This is not what I like. All living beings have evil thoughts." ’

'Teacher, I regret why I didn't leave with you that day... However, when he establishes the Heavenly Court, I should have some opportunities. ’

Queen Mother Xi thought quietly.

On the long axis of heaven and earth, the Great War of Xizhou continues to advance;

On the long axis of heaven and earth, the battle line continues to move north.

Millions of creatures from the 'Wonderland' are fighting each other on the land of Xizhou, but the leader behind this battle is still testing the waters.

The shadow of Lord Anan seemed to appear behind the demon clan, holding the chess piece with a sneer and playing with it casually;

Behind the human race, the figure of the Godly Prime Minister Fenghou emerged. He continued to calmly analyze and deduce carefully, and a piece of jade talisman flew out of the Bagua disc to control the three armies.

finally.

On the twelfth day of the war, the fighting took a break.

The human race stopped advancing, and the demon clan quickly formed a camp. Both sides counted the casualties and collected magic weapons. The demon clan lost thousands of miles. The human race's immortal soldiers had already rushed through the desert area and began to attack the hinterland of several major demon clan forces.

Dozens of golden immortals from the human race died in battle, and dozens of demon kings from the demon race fell.

However, there was no so-called 'situation' where the land of Xizhou was dyed red. Except for some small areas, there was no 'scene' of blood flowing into rivers.

Compared with the battles between immortal soldiers, demon soldiers, and monster beasts, the battles between masters of the Heavenly Immortal Realm and above have a greater impact on the world.

In this battle, most of the mutual karma between the human race and the demon race comes from the latter.

Above the nine heavens, Li Ping'an's enlightenment has not stopped.

Fairy Ziyao and Gui Lingling discovered at the same time that among the shadows that appeared around Li Pingan, there was a beautiful figure that they were also familiar with.

"Ah! It's Qingqing!"

…

Suddenly resonating with his master, Li Ping'an almost fell from the state of enlightenment.

But soon, he stabilized his Taoist mind and kept himself in a state of not being happy with things or sad with himself, and wanted to pass by the master.

Then he heard a sound...

‘Are Xiao Longnu and Yang Guo really in love with each other? ’

Qing Su was dressed in a white dress that was spotless, and the ice blue fairy sword in her hand was not stained with demon blood. She stood quietly behind several old women of the Human Race Golden Immortal, waiting for the next order to attack.

She looked at the hills in the distance and thought in her heart.

Li Ping'an's heart trembled slightly. Although he wanted to leave, he always wanted to resonate with his master for a while longer.

He actually really wanted to know the answer, the answer that Master understood.

However, I don't know whether Qing Su's own mood does not fluctuate too obviously, or whether she is slow in thinking about problems. Li Ping'an seemed to have waited for a long time before hearing the master's sigh.

‘There should be some, after all, Xiao Longnu might feel lonely if she spends time together. ’

Li Pingan breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

His performance was actually noticed by Zi Yao and Gui Lingling at the same time.

Li Ping'an wanted to continue his enlightenment and was about to leave, but Qing Su's third sentence came to mind.

'How could master have such thoughts towards his apprentice...'

A long time passed.

The fourth sentence floated through her mind.

'What does my apprentice think of me...'

Li Ping'an really couldn't listen any more, otherwise he might have to stay here and waste this rare opportunity of enlightenment.

Therefore, Li Ping'an apologized to his master from the bottom of his heart and left quietly. With the ripples of his Taoist heart, he continued to wander around the battlefield where the fighting stopped.

He felt the fragility and confusion of the fighting creatures everywhere.

Not only immortal soldiers, but also true immortals and heavenly immortals.

Li Ping'an didn't know how long it had been, he was wandering back and forth in the hearts of the creatures until the human race launched the second offensive.

A familiar demonic energy suddenly appeared behind the demon clan, and a huge demonic shadow thousands of feet high appeared between the sky and the earth.

The military leader Chi You appears again.

Correspondingly, a brilliant dragon aura appeared behind the human race, and Xuanyuan Huangdi showed his traces, facing Chi You through the air.

Subsequently, a more intense battle broke out.

Bursts of Sanskrit singing suddenly appeared in the sky, and golden clouds floated in. Countless figures fell on them, and most of them were human beings, exuding spiritual power fluctuations from the Yuanxian Realm.

The Western religion sacrificed their Taoist soldiers!

With the appearance of Chi You and the participation of millions of Taoist soldiers, the entire battle situation changed again. Although the human race had made plans in advance, under the fierce and fearless charge of the Taoist soldiers, the battle line still began to move south.

What followed was a month-long tug of war.

Immortal soldiers from the human race are coming in a steady stream, and a large number of sect qigong masters and casual cultivators appear on various battlefields.

Taoist soldiers from Western religions are also continuing to enter the battlefield.

Soon, the human masters came up with many ways to fight Taoist soldiers. The most effective method was to use the Immortal Technique of Musical Rhythm to cover the battle situation. This method could make the Taoist soldiers move very slowly.

These Taoist soldiers taught by the West are obviously only half-finished products and have many shortcomings.

After figuring this out, the morale of the human race was greatly boosted.

On the forty-fifth day of the second war, the demon clan's defenses in the northern part of Xizhou were open, and the human clan's immortal soldiers made a strong appearance, opening up a second battlefield.

The success of this sneak attack is directly related to the beheading of the ancient giant crocodile in the poisonous sea.

On the fifty-sixth day of the second war, in the northwest of Xizhou, several great generals from the Shennong clan appeared. They led Shennong's personal guards as the vanguard and dug through the demon soldiers to appear on the third battlefield.

The divine generals of the two generations of human emperors have exerted their strength at the same time, and have begun to attack the demons of Xizhou from the north and the south.

On the 63rd day of the second war, Emperor Xuanyuan personally led 3,000 bear guards to attack Chi You, and started a battle with the demon kings led by Chi You. Chi You was defeated again and retreated thousands of miles.

Although Chi You's strength has not declined significantly compared to ancient times;

But compared to the Battle of Zhuolu 80,000 years ago, Huangdi Xuanyuan's Taoist realm has been greatly improved, and the Xuanyuan Sword, the most precious human treasure in his hand, is more powerful than the ancients.

The weight of victory has been hung on the human race.

Such a situation also occurred in ancient times, but at that time, Huangdi Xuanyuan, who led many demon-falling masters to pursue the group of demons, was blocked by the sudden appearance of the second leader of the Western Sect, Zhunti.

But today;

Still on this land;

The Tao Yun of Tongtian Cult Master was lying quietly aside.

Zhunti, dare not show up.

Xuanyuan Huangdi looked in the direction of Lingshan Mountain and said in his heart: 'Ping An, thank you very much. ’

Li Pingan heard this murmur.

He didn't stay beside Xuanyuan Huangdi for long, he smiled and raised his eyebrows, his heart gradually became full of insights, and the way he understood this time was extremely clear.

This Tao is called the Tao of all living beings. It is born out of the Tao of living beings and is not simply the Tao of humans.

By this way, one can attain the status of Heavenly Emperor.

To cultivate this path, one needs to understand all sentient beings, wander around the mortal world, experience the seven emotions, condense the six desires, and finally resonate with all sentient beings.

Li Ping'an is not in a hurry to take back his mind. Such a rare opportunity, he will continue to use the eyes of heaven to understand the feelings of all living beings.

The war soon broke out again.

Emperor Xuanyuan ordered the humans to launch a general offensive on three sides and shouted the slogan of conquering Xizhou within one year.

Li Pingan continued to wander freely.

There were some small-scale riots in the Kongmeng Realm, but the riots were quickly quelled by the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jin'ao Island who Li Ping'an had arranged to go to in advance;

A plague also appeared in the Kongmeng Realm. Lord Shitian invited two experts who were good at spreading plague and poison, and the plague was suppressed directly.

In fact, the two experts who played the plague expressed strong dissatisfaction with the fact that the little plague invited them over.

Li Ping'an didn't know this, he continued to wander in the hearts of living beings.

The battle started and stopped, and the demon tribe lost more than half of its territory.

The human race did not commit many crimes, and the entire army implemented the concept of "killing the ancient sinful demons".

Although the human race immortal soldiers have not yet reached the state of "not taking advantage of the people of hundreds of races," they are very noble and full of quality compared to their opponents.

For this reason, Heaven also took the initiative to reduce the karma that should have been distributed to human beings.

Just when Li Ping'an wanted to end this enlightenment, he felt something in his heart and resonated with a group of strange creatures.

The vision of these creatures was extremely dim, as if they were traveling through thick liquid.

And their Taoist hearts...

Empty, pale, without any color, only a gray mist, and the only emotion is 'killing'. It is purer and more tyrannical than the demon soldiers who have been hit by the "Spirit-Addicting Art".

They keep rising;

They are numerous;

There are many tyrannical creatures here, and these creatures all seem to be incomplete and incomplete.

Li Ping'an kept circulating in the hearts of these strange creatures, and soon recognized their identities.

Sea of ​​blood, Shura clan!

Li Ping'an did not hesitate, and suddenly broke away from the state of enlightenment. Before he had time to open his eyes, he began to use the power of heaven to observe the land of Xizhou.

He saw it.

After the previous series of battles, the blood that emerged from the battles in various parts of Xizhou began to gather underground at some point.

A wave of blood, like magma surging before a volcano erupts, spurts upward from the depths of the ground and will soon reach the surface of Xizhou.

Li Ping'an immediately warned Emperor Xuanyuan.

On the ground, the human race, which had a comprehensive advantage, suddenly retreated, retreating thousands of miles in three directions at the same time, each forming a large formation, ready to leave at any time.

This truce is to prevent more blood from flowing into the earth and becoming a bridge for the Shura clan to show up.

After warning Huangdi Xuanyuan, Li Ping'an originally planned to retreat to understand the way of all living beings, but before he could enter the state of enlightenment, something strange happened to the demon clan.

Since the human race took the initiative to avoid the war, it was impossible to collect the blood of living creatures through the war and attract the Shura tribe to show up;

That……

Lord Ernan gave an order, and the evil demons slaughtered hundreds of monster villages, gathered blood, and poured it into the ground.

From behind the demon clan's battle formation, a bloody lotus flower quickly formed.

Above the nine heavens, Li Ping'an opened his eyes, and his whole body erupted with strong majesty.

A white jade temple slowly emerged from behind him. There are thirty-six white jade pillars in the temple, on which various forms of living beings are depicted. There are two huge murals on the left and right sides of the temple. The mural on the left depicts the "Peace" where all living beings thrive. The mural on the right depicts "War" in which all living beings kill each other.

The temple is a shadow of the avenue.

Waves of thunder erupted from Li Ping'an's body, and his Tao realm continued to rise like a broken bamboo, directly reaching the realm of the second-level immortal.

Blossoming green clouds cover the White Jade Temple, which represents the coexistence of the Great Way of Clouds and the Way of all living beings.

After a moment, the strange scene dispersed, and Li Ping'an stood up with an ashen complexion.

Gui Lingling and Fairy Ziyao moved forward at the same time, with a bit of inquiry in their eyes.

Li Ping'an said directly: "It is inconvenient for Jiejiao to participate in the killing, so please ask Fairy Ziyao for some help."

Fairy Ziyao asked: "What's wrong?"

Li Ping'an looked at the ground below and said slowly:

"Here comes Styx."
