The World Becomes a Road

Chapter 1407 The Red Dust Becomes the Road

The Empress looked at Qin Mu. Qin Mu's expression remained calm, as if he had known about this for a long time and was not surprised at all.

The Empress calmed down, thought for a moment, and said, "My late husband was born prematurely and was dug out by the Great Emperor for sacrifice, so he had great deficiencies in both his cultivation and strength. Brother Dao has been in silence here for countless millions of years, so I think his cultivation should be perfect and he won't be in the same situation as my late husband. Why are you two so afraid of the future?"

What she meant was actually to ask the ancient god Tai Chi: they were hiding here, absorbing the power of the mineral veins with peace of mind. After so much time had passed, they should have been able to be born into the world in perfection. Why hadn't they been born yet?

But she was the empress after all, so she asked in a more tactful way.

"According to common sense, we can indeed be born. Such a long time is enough for us to absorb all the power and Taoism of the mining area."

The male voice in the egg said: "However, the ancestral temple restricts our birth."

The Emperor and Empress were extremely puzzled, and Qin Mu couldn't help but become curious and leaned forward involuntarily.

The female voice in the egg said, "We have been absorbing the power of the Tai Chi mineral veins, and have never stopped since the creation of the universe. When the Creator clan rose, they began to mine the mineral veins, and all five major mineral veins have been mined. There was a Taoist brother who was born before the Creator, leaving the mining area empty and living freely. When he was born, there was no disturbance from the world, and the Tao was pure. As soon as he was born, he transcended and became a Taoist."

The male voice in the egg said, "The next one is Brother Taichu. Brother Taichu was expected to achieve enlightenment after him, but unfortunately, he was only half grown before he was dug out and was sacrificed by the Creator as a treasure. He was polluted before he was even born. It will be extremely difficult for him to achieve enlightenment. He must cut off the Creator's sacrificial power on him and recover the power of all the Taichu mineral veins."

"The third Taoist brother is Taishi. He was dug out and treated as a great treasure, worshipped and sacrificed by the world. However, he later fell into the hands of Taidi Juyu. Taidi was defeated, and he fell into the hands of Taichu. Taichu was no longer in the egg state and had a desire for power. He was worried that his perfect birth would threaten his position, so he imprisoned him."

"Tai Su is also a person with a miserable life. She was dug out from the mine by the Creator's daughter Xin, and then taken to Ju Yu. Later, she fell into the hands of the Northern Emperor Xuanwu, and was treated as a treasure and refined into the Glazed Blue Sky Pagoda. She desperately pursued the way to transcendence, but she met the wrong person and was taken to the previous universe by someone, so she had to be born early."

"She wants to achieve enlightenment, so the karma is huge. Not only does she have to avenge Nuxin, Juyu, and being refined into a treasure, but she also has to avenge being born prematurely. She also has to settle the karma from the previous universe era."

When Qin Mu heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.

The person that the ancient Tai Chi God mentioned about meeting the wrong person was him.

He left the Big Black Tree at night, carrying the Tai Su Egg and inadvertently arrived at the moment when the last cosmic era was destroyed. He had to hold up the Tai Su Egg and try to return to the World Tree. Tai Su was also born at that time!

The birth of Tai Su had a lot to do with him.

"As for us, we have also been polluted by worldly affairs."

The female voice in the egg sighed and said, "After we observed what happened to you fellow Taoists, we first became alert. With alertness, we no longer have a pure heart of Tao. From then on, we were one step further away from achieving Tao."

"It's just that we didn't anticipate this at the time. We created a fake mine to deceive the Creator, and the real mine was hidden by us. In this way, we are one step further away from enlightenment."

The male voice in the egg sighed and said, "We mobilized the Taiji Star Region to strangle the Creator and other creatures that entered the mining area to protect ourselves. We had the killing intention, which made us further away from achieving enlightenment. We didn't realize it at the time and thought we had succeeded."

The female voice in the egg said, "We hid ourselves and lived in fear all day long, always worried that we would be discovered by the Great Emperor and Taichu. It was not until Taichu led the other ancient gods to seal the ancestral temple that we felt relieved and felt that we could absorb the Taiji ore veins and achieve enlightenment."

The male voice in the egg sighed: "It was not until then that we realized that we had already been polluted by the worldly world. Although we were no longer disturbed by the worldly world, we were getting further and further away from enlightenment. Not only that, we also discovered another terrible thing."

Both the male and female voices fell silent.

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and he had a terrible guess. He opened his mouth to ask, but he held back.

The Emperor and Empress were calmer than him and were still waiting quietly.

After a while, the male and female voices in the egg overlapped and said in unison: "Although the ancestral temple is sealed, we found that there are not only us in the ancestral temple, but also other people!"

Qin Mu's heart was greatly shocked, and he thought to himself: "It is just as I guessed!"

"The ancestral temple was sealed, but the Taoist brother who was born early could not be sealed. He appears and disappears mysteriously and is unfathomable. But the others in the ancestral temple are not him."

"The others came from underground, but they are not from underground. They are remnants of the previous cosmic era. They came from the previous cosmic era."

"They have made preparations long ago and have set up numerous traps and schemes in the ancestral temple. Even our Taiji mining area has been included in their schemes."

"When you sealed the ancestral temple and left it, we felt a terrifying prehistoric relic driving towards our mining area, blocking our ability to absorb the power and avenue of the mining area, causing our progress to be slow over the years."

The Tai Chi Ancient God in the egg said with some fear in his voice: "We have developed a fearful heart, which makes us one step further away from enlightenment. Therefore, when an uninvited guest comes to visit the mine, we will lend him the Tai Chi raw stone. Because we have not been able to draw much power from the raw stone or the mine in the past million years, it is okay to lend it to him for a while."

Qin Mu immediately opened his eyes between his brows and looked towards the underground of the mining area. His divine eyes were unparalleled and could even see through the Daluotian fragments under the Yao Chi ground. He immediately had a clear view of the underground of the Taiji mining area.

But below the vast Taiji star field, a piece of ancient Daluotian fragment is devouring the star field and encroaching on the Taiji mining area. There is a mysterious relic right below the Taiji mining area. There are strange buildings on the ruins, made of the best divine gold. Although it is covered with mottled rust, you can still see the ripples of the avenue flowing on the surface.

That should be the remains of a highly developed civilization, which built a divine city with supreme divine gold in an attempt to survive the great destruction of the universe, survive the great destruction, and come to a new universe.

However, Qin Mu saw that there were no living creatures there, as if all life had been destroyed. But since it was a fragment of Daluotian, it would not be that simple.

The Empress could not see this scene, and did not understand the fear of the Ancient God of Taiji. She said, "Brother Dao, since you are locked up and cannot improve your cultivation and Taoism here, you should not be able to be born perfectly. You have stopped growing, so how can you help me?"

She said calmly, "Excuse me for being blunt, but interests come first. If I don't have enough interests, why should I cooperate with you? You can't help me, so it's a joke to form an alliance with you and join forces to fight against future disasters."

Qin Mu's eyes flickered, and he said, "So, the two Taoist brothers are planning to be born early?"

The Emperor and Empress were slightly shocked, and after he reminded them, they immediately thought of the key.

The reason why the ancient Tai Chi God asked her to come was probably because he wanted to be born early!

If the ancient god Tai Chi were to be born and leave the mining area, he could indeed become her assistant!

The ancient god in the egg praised: "Mu Tianzun is indeed very smart. He can understand the meaning of the music. Unfortunately, you are not strong enough, otherwise we would definitely choose you as our ally instead of the Empress. You guessed right, we are indeed tempted to leave the world."

The female voice in the egg said, "We are trapped here. We have the mine but cannot draw strength to comprehend the Great Dao. Our Dao hearts have also been destroyed and invaded by the mortal world. Instead of guarding the Taiji mine all the time, it is better to be born early and walk in the mortal world."

The male voice in the egg said, "The trivialities of the worldly world have destroyed our Tao hearts, giving us cunning hearts, fearful hearts, joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, as well as greed, worry, killing, murder, power, profit, cunning, deceit, and other negative emotions that delay our attainment of Tao. Since the worldly world has given us these negative emotions, we must go through it for a while."

The female voice in the egg said: "Only by going through the mortal world can we get rid of greed, worry, power and interests, get rid of cunning and fear, and let our Tao hearts return to the simplicity before the emergence of sentient beings, so as to achieve Taoism and liberation."

The words of the ancient Tai Chi God brought different touches to Qin Mu and the Emperor and Empress, and each of them had different insights in their hearts.

The Empress remembered the time of her birth. It was the Dao of Guixu that gave her consciousness. At that time, her consciousness was extremely pure and most in line with the Dao of Guixu.

The heart of Tao is my heart.

She was born in a lotus in the Guixu Abyss, peaceful and beautiful.

But when did all this start to change?

Did it start from the time when the Creator discovered her, the ancient god of Taoism, felt her fertility power, and then worshiped her, prayed for her protection, and wished that his race would have many children and blessings?

Did it start when the Creator tried to use her power to eliminate dissidents?

Did it start from the moment I met her and fell in love with each other?

Or did it start when you felt the worship of the Creator, the worship of all living beings, and enjoyed the desire for power?

It’s just that she didn’t have the same high level of awareness as the ancient Tai Chi God. She didn’t realize this and thus sank into the world of mortals.

Qin Mu was thinking of something else.

He felt that it was indeed a feasible path for the ancient Tai Chi God to hone his Dao heart in the mortal world. After all, he was also struggling in the mortal world, growing up bit by bit, and his Dao heart was also growing along the way, and his Dao realm was also slowly improving.

He thought of another thing, that was Lan Yutian.

In the past, Yu Tianzun was disturbed by the trivialities of the worldly affairs, so his Tao heart was not as pure as Lan Yutian's. Although Lan Yutian now walks in the world of mortals, he is more like the ancient god laid from eggs before the birth of all living beings. He has no utilitarian heart, no desire for power, and no troubled thoughts. He only has an incomparably pure Tao heart.

Compared with other egg-laying ancient gods except Taiyi, he is more like an egg-laying ancient god, quietly absorbing nutrients and improving himself in the huge mining area of ​​​​the mortal world.

He is the one who is closest to enlightenment.

In Qin Mu's spiritual fetus, Tai Shi in the egg also had his own understanding. He unknowingly stopped absorbing the power of the Tai Shi ore and Tai Shi vein, and quietly thought about his future path.

“Although the ancient Tai Chi gods were formed after me, their understanding of Tao is already higher than mine.”

He couldn't help but sigh, feeling that he had benefited a lot: "The Empress Dowager occupied my Taishi mining area. Even if I can take it back with the help of Mu Tianzun and completely absorb the power of the mining area, I can't achieve perfection, I can't achieve Taoism, and I can't transcend. I also need to walk in the human world like the Taiji Ancient God to sharpen my Tao heart before I can reach the level of Brother Taiyi."

They each gained something and realized something, but what they realized were different.

The Tai Chi Ancient God in the egg said: "This time, we asked the Queen to come because our strength is not enough to break the divine egg. Please help us."

The Empress stood up and said sternly, "We should help."

Qin Mu also stood up and said sternly, "My two brothers in the egg, how will you treat me after you are born? I want to know your positions."

The Empress looked at him, a hint of murderous intent flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Mu Tianzun, now you and our Ten Tianzun are on the same boat. You should recognize your own weight, put yourself in the right position, and don't have too many thoughts. Otherwise, it will only bring disaster upon yourself. Guixu is one of the few places in the world that can wipe you out, and Guixu Avenue is also one of the few avenues that can break the magical power of matter!"

Qin Mu laughed loudly, full of murderous intent: "If you two Taoist brothers want to be my enemy in the future, then today I will fight to the death! You two Taoist brothers, please think about this!"

He turned around and said, "Empress, if you think that Guixu magical power can wipe me out, why not give it a try!"
