The Lord of the Heights is not specifically targeting Deng ChanYu. When he observes and comments on the descendants of others, he does so with a magnifying glass, finding flaws here and shortcomings there. But for his own descendants, he considers each one a treasure, perfectly in line with his own heart's desire.
What does the Term 'Multiple Treasures Sage' and 'Perfect Heavenly Firmament' mean to him?
Now, withdraw the gaze projected to the Sun Star. There is no situation where Deng Chan Yu enters the Sun Star and the Sun Star hides in Yan Zhi Mountain forever and does not come out. She is not that powerful. The sun rises and sets, everything is normal, and staring at the high hanging Sun Star in the sky fiercely for a long time makes even the Saintly Lord of Heaven uncomfortable.
He slightly closed his eyes and quickly opened them again, turning to ask, "Gongming, has your mind calmed down?"
Zhao Gongming on the side hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you for the teacher's guidance, my mind has been completely calmed down."
The Lord of the Heights lifted his hand, indicating that there was no need for excessive politeness.
Zhao Gongming has been staying in Yu Yu Tian for more than ten days.
Previously, for the twenty-four solar terms of Huatian, he brought two disciples to plant melons on the shores of Dongting Lake with difficulty.
Plant once, interrupted for no apparent reason, then plant again, and then interrupted once more.
His character is like the wind, always not a person who can endure solitude. After years of being battered, his mental state really can't take it.
In the year when Deng ChanYu went to hear Nu Wa's teaching at the Palace of Wa, he did nothing but found friends to drink and secretly took Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao out to play, climbing mountains and playing in water, writing poetry and making music, having a lot of fun.
As a result, nothing happened that year; it was incredibly calm and peaceful!
No miraculous music suddenly burst out from the corners and corners, no Yinyang Grand Elder holding the Taijidian Fan to blow wind, not to mention the celestial realm, even the human world of Jiang Ziyao was actively preparing for war, stockpiling grain and training troops. There was peace in all three realms.
When Yun Xiao came a long way to congratulate him on achieving enlightenment, he felt extremely embarrassed and left with his sleeve covering his face.
Too ashamed to face his sister or his fellow immortals, he simply ran to Yu Yu Tian to find the Lord of Heaven.
If it weren't for the fact that their predestined fates were truly lacking, the Lord of the Heavens would have truly wanted to admit Zhao Gongming into his formal wall, as this disciple was devoted, decisive in handling matters, and the most "similar to himself."
The Lord of the Heavens comforted Zhao Gongming and spoke about the Great Road of Huanghai from the rise and fall of various tribes, essentially summing it up with one sentence: Your days are still long, don't be discouraged, this bit of difficulty in front of you doesn't amount to much.
Zhao Gongming attained the title of a Supreme Divine, but it wasn't because he feared difficulties; rather, he felt that the heavens were targeting him! What a bully! He had encountered problems every year before, but this year nothing had happened. Why is that?
Since his mindset has been restored, it's time to leave promptly and not disturb the Saint's cultivation.
Before leaving, Old Zhao couldn't help but ask one more thing, which was normally not appropriate. The Saint would say what they wanted to say naturally; do you really want to force the Saint to answer? However, there are few rules on this side of the Lord of Heaven.
"Teacher, my disciple wonders if this return will be smooth?"
The Lord of the Heavens could easily guess his disciple's intentions.
The Lord of the Heavens glanced at the past, future, and various causes and effects, made two calculations atop the great disaster, and then sighed softly, "Perhaps it can work."
Zhao Gongming heard these words and his heart cooled down half a measure.
With his current misfortune, the "perhaps can work" basically equated to "not work."
He was utterly shocked. Could it be that he is some kind of protagonist of fate? Whenever he cultivates, there are all sorts of obstacles, and when he stops cultivating, the world is peaceful? If that's the case, he would rather not be this protagonist!
The Lord of the Heavens furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment.
This matter, if exchanged with Taqing, would be indifferent and everything would naturally follow suit.
If it were the Primordial Venerable, he would simply stand by, watching his disciples go through trials. If they succeed, it's destiny; if they fail, it's a test of their resolve. It can be interpreted in any way.
The Lord of the Heavens doesn't have this style.
In a way, the Three Eternal Sacred Masters also carry some form of fate on their bodies. When they were not yet sacred, turning misfortunes into good luck and presenting blessings in times of trouble were commonplace skills. Almost none of the times when Zhao Gongming was so unlucky like this had ever occurred.
However, the reason why the Saints are called Saints is that they are all-powerful, capable of changing their fate against the heavens.
He said, "Gongming, you have too little accumulated karma and are not favored by fate, so you will encounter some tests."
Old Zhao's eyebrows drooped down, he wasn't afraid of tests, no matter what hardships lay ahead, he would swing his steel whip and gou out his path! He was just afraid of this kind of hard work for half a year, and then an unexpected incident occurred suddenly without reason, and all his efforts were in vain. Twice, he could endure it; time and again, that would be too torturous.
However, he also heard two methods in the words of the Lord of the Heavens: merit and destiny. Merit is now too hard to earn, or rather, what is easily earned has been taken by Deng ChanYu. The immortals in the Primordial chaos have been overwhelmed by her.
"Fate is given by Heaven"? This is a bit vague. According to Zhao Gongming's understanding, during the Three Dynasties and Five Emperors period of the human race, those leaders of the human race, such as the human king and human emperor, were the objects of Heaven's fate. What should he do? Assist the king?
The Lord of the Heavens reveals the answer: "If you want to borrow some heavenly fate, there are three methods for your master, one is to take a disciple, the second is to make friends, and the third is to subdue the riding beast."
Feeling that Zhao Gongming might not understand the key points, the Lord of the Heavens elaborated further: "Take those with great blessings as disciples, make friends with those of high moral caliber, and use auspicious beasts as mounts."
Zhao Gongming was overjoyed: "Thank you, teacher, for your guidance."
The Lord of the Heavens smiled and nodded: "Go ahead."
Old Zhao left Yu Yu Tian and pondered on the journey as well.
"Take those with great blessings as disciples"? In the current Great Disaster, who has blessings and who doesn't, it's hard to tell, and it's not written on their forehead either. How does he know who are the ones with great blessings?
Moral Sage? Many of the immortals of Juejiao barely touch the edges of morality, so that means he needs to find friends outside the school? When it comes to morality, the first thing he thinks of is the Xuanjiao School. At this moment, he introspectively asks himself and indeed finds that the average moral level of Xuanjiao is higher than that of Juejiao.
Auspicious beast? That's also quite difficult. He can't just make Bai Ze his mount, can he? He's not strong enough to defeat Bai Ze, and then it might not even be clear who would become the mount of whom.
Disciples cannot be taken lightly, it's a lifelong commitment. Zhao Gongming's two disciples, Chen Jiugong and Yao Shao Si, may have good potential, but when it comes to teaching them, they are not much better than a waste of time.
The bond between the rider and the mount is very close, sharing prosperity and misfortune. This option will also be set aside for now.
He thought of making friends instead. It's just about making friends, and it won't involve too many causes and effects. In the Primordial Chaos, there isn't a concept of lifelong friendship. You can turn your back on someone or do whatever you want at any time.
Zhao Gongming made up his mind, as the saying goes, "the one who cuts firewood does not interrupt the one who grinds his axe." He decided to find a moral person first as a friend, and then go back to plant melons.
