Chapter 626: Mu Zu's Past
The Heaven and Earth Plate, the Yin-Yang Fish Platform, and Chao Fengtian completely disappeared. Or rather, Chao Fengtian had died long ago, and what was revealed at this moment was his Taoism. It was his Taoism that was scattered all over the ground before he died, but was picked up by Li Changxiao.
However, even though the Heaven and Earth Plate is a luck-controlling device, even though it still controls the luck, it cannot always manifest. Therefore, even if Chao Fengtian does not step out of the black platform in the Yin-Yang Fish Platform, it will eventually dissipate, and it will not take too long.
He laughed loudly towards Fengtian and completely disappeared from the world. Li Changxiao bent down, picked up the remaining lotus of creation that he had left on the black platform, sat cross-legged on the black platform, and looked at Ancestor Mu quietly.
The old man is very old and is about to die. He has succumbed to the vastness of the world and is confused about his own Taoism. Today, he will see another side of Taoism.
Li Changxiao bowed and said, "Senior, I gladly accept your gift of heaven and earth."
After saying this, he lightly pressed his hand on the Yin-Yang Fish Platform, the gap between the black platform and the white platform. He jumped out of heaven and earth and looked down at the plate of heaven and earth. He already knew that this plate was divided into octagonal parts and was symmetrical on all four sides. There were the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams on the outside and Yin and Yang on the inside, hiding many changes in the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
But what a coincidence, in the Eryuan Sect's Treasure Library, Chao Fengtian also used a similar method to imitate the cycle of truth between heaven and earth and trapped himself and others inside.
From this point of view, the two people's actions are somewhat similar, but Chao Fengtian imprisoned himself in order to break the Tao, while Mu Laozu asked for it himself in order to escape, but called it following the Tao.
Because of his experience in the Fire Land, if it comes to understanding the truth of heaven and earth, no one can compare to Chao Fengtian. He told Li Changxiao the method of seizing the plate, which is very likely to be feasible. Ancestor Mu's face changed, he was shocked and angry, but he firmly believed in his own Taoism, pretended to be relaxed, and did not stop him.
The outermost part of the heaven and earth plate shows the changes between the five elements and the eight trigrams. From the outside to the inside, it is the changes between yin and yang. Li Changxiao pressed his right palm on the intersection of yin and yang on the Yin-Yang Fish Platform. His eyes were full of golden light, and he saw his consciousness radiating from the center of his eyebrows, which was light golden.
The consciousness is invisible, but after Li Changxiao's consciousness was integrated into the Danta Dingdan, it turned golden, with a certain power of control. Although he had studied the changes in his own consciousness before, he had been unable to find any results due to his vision or realm, and then he put it aside until this moment.
After being enlightened by Chao Fengtian, and Li Changxiao being quite smart, he immediately understood that this divine consciousness governed destiny. Why did he own the Danta? It was because of this golden divine consciousness.
All the instruments of destiny were transformed by destiny, and only those who could mobilize destiny could use them. Dingdan was cultivated for this purpose, and it took countless years to firmly believe in it.
Chao Fengtian also told Li Changxiao that although it seemed like he had taken advantage, in fact, it had always belonged to him. Because no matter whether it was Dingdan or the three-legged golden crow toad, it was not something that ordinary people could swallow. Only those who were free from everything and not restricted by heaven and earth, and those who were contradictory enough and special enough, could interest the three-legged golden crow toad and absorb Dingdan.
Li Changxiao, who happened to be in an era of no more methods, was just that kind of person, searching on a long road, searching hard, lonely and desolate. His spiritual consciousness spread, covering the entire world. When his mind changed, the five elements moved, and when his mind changed again, yin and yang reversed. Everything in the world was just in his mind.
Li Changxiao frowned, and the plate of heaven and earth shrank at an extremely fast speed, and the two people in the plate also shrank along with it. At this time, Li Changxiao stood up again, jumped lightly, and escaped from the plate, truly jumping out of between heaven and earth.
The moment he left the Heaven and Earth Plate, his figure gradually returned to its normal size. He held the huge Heaven and Earth Plate in his palm and looked down. But Patriarch Mu was terrified. He looked up, but he could only see the blue sky, not Li Changxiao. But he could clearly feel that Li Changxiao was looking at him. It was just that he had escaped from the Heaven and Earth, while he was trapped in prison. Therefore, one person had a broad vision, seeing everything in the world, while the other person looked around, with a narrow and cramped view.
Li Changxiao jumped lightly again and leapt into the plate of heaven and earth. He sat firmly on the black platform. This wonderful feeling made him comprehend more deeply. There was no joy in his heart, but a sense of Taoism that escaped from heaven and earth and returned to heaven and earth, and was extremely peaceful.
He looked at Grandmaster Mu, who also looked back at him. Finally, he sighed softly and said, "I lost again."
"I lost to Li Xundao before, and now I lose to you again. I am convinced."
He created the Heaven and Earth Plate, but he still cannot use it freely, and is even trapped in it, while Li Changxiao can not only enter and exit freely, but also control it easily. There is no way to argue who will win and who will lose in this competition between the two lines.
Li Changxiao did not forget the purpose of this trip, so he asked Ancestor Mu why he stole the Dao fruits, and whether all the stolen Dao fruits were hidden in the plate of heaven and earth, and whether any were left behind.
Patriarch Mu told Li Changxiao everything he knew, and told him a story from the past. In fact, Li Changxiao had heard about that story from Mu Shu, and it was almost the same, but he still listened attentively. Patriarch Mu was a famous person, invincible and romantic when he was young, and had few setbacks. But later, his invincible mind was stolen, he was defeated by a mermaid, his Tao heart was broken, and he failed to merge. Many setbacks came one after another. This made him at a loss and he dared not to see the world. After he returned to Dao Sect, his cultivation level dropped for a time, and he became decadent, thinking that this life was probably over.
Later, many younger disciples came out on top, and by chance, it was arranged for Grandmaster Mu to compete with a younger disciple. That competition was full of humiliation, and Grandmaster Mu saw it at the time, but he still accepted it. However, after the fight, he was no match for the younger disciple and was defeated by the younger disciple.
Since then, he has become a laughing stock and secretly hates his fellow disciples. Although Zhang Kuiyi strictly forbids any disciples to discuss this matter in front of him, Patriarch Mu knows that everyone in Dao Sect must be secretly laughing at him.
In a rage, he defected from the sect and took away many sacred objects such as the Azure Vine and the Grinding Stone. Zhang Kuiyi felt guilty and did not take any real action when he tried to capture Ancestor Mu. This incident became a stain on Zhang Kuiyi.
After leaving Dao Sect, Patriarch Mu kept thinking that his invincible mind was stolen, but the mermaids were stronger than him. He could also steal the Dao fruit of others, and then become stronger than them. When he had more Dao fruit in the future, he would be able to control all Daos and become a saint. What would be so difficult?
So, he devoted himself to research, and his cultivation level once dropped to that of a mortal. The Taoism he had learned from Dao Zong was almost completely gone. He forgot his real name and called himself "Mu".
He seized the Dao Fruit, his cultivation level rose, and later he established the Mu Mansion and became the Mu Patriarch.
