"Sister, don't close the passage yet!" The Goddess of Jinding was going to save her disciple Yu Yuan and didn't wait for Deng ChanYu to agree. She rushed into the space passage above her with the Four Symbols Tower.
"YunXiao spoke in a timely manner: 'My YuanXiao has also entered, AhYu, wait for me! I will go with you!'"
QiongXiao and BiXiao, acting like two accessories, grabbed the sleeve of the eldest sister and followed her in.
Chuspirit was worried and straightened his beard. As a member of the ChuanQi School and one of the highest-level cultivators present, it was inappropriate not to go in.
"Master Teacher, oh no, that one, wait for me, I'll go to save Brother Huanglong!"
"Venerable, please hold a moment! My younger brother was also pulled in just now, I must go save him!"
"Venerable, please don't close the passage. My wife was just pulled in, I must go to save her!"
"I must go to save my master, none of you can stop me!"
Deng ChanYu has a strong sense of professional ethics. She only activated the 'vehicle' after everyone was present, sending a multitude of immortals inside. Among them were those who needed to save their master, their disciples, and even Jinjiao who had to save his brother.
The TaiShen Laojun sighed and said that this was the reason why he followed the doctrine of simplicity and non-action. The Dao was simple, but people were complex. He believed that taking a steady approach was the most suitable method at present, but once people's hearts were involved, whether they meant well or ill, his plan would be disrupted.
He crushed the seal in his hand. It was now impossible to balance the Yin and Yang of the Taiji Diagram outside, as there were too many variables involved. The only way to resolve this was to expel all immortals from the Taiji Diagram at this moment, something that TaQing Saint could do but he couldn't. So, he could only adapt and respond as he went along.
Xuan Dou had a bit of discernment and noticed that Laojun was in poor condition. He volunteered to take charge of the inner field. The Great Emperor of the Taoist Canon silently nodded, indicating that he would be watching from outside.
Inside the Taiji Diagram world.
Just a short time after leaving this world of black and white, I've returned again, although Huanglong's mood isn't very pleasant.
When he was first led in by Xuan Dou, it was like a visit to a Jurassic Park, with electric fences, towering facilities, and well-equipped security personnel. Everything was new to him, and looking at anything could provide some enlightenment.
Now the entire park is without power, and all the gates are wide open. The scenes that were once so joyful and beautiful are no longer as attractive. It's full of killing intent, everywhere is filled with dense and intense killing aura.
It appears to be an empty area, but in reality, it secretly hides a chaotic space with a jagged and intricate layout. Taking a step onto it would be torn apart by the ferocious power of Yin and Yang.
It's only a short distance away from a mountain, but when climbing halfway, one might step on an empty space and fall into some chaotic current.
Danger is everywhere, and one must be extremely careful.
Huanglong, as a Taiyi Jinxian, had encountered crises several times. In less than a quarter of an hour inside the Taiji Diagram world, his robe, adorned with eighteen defensive spells, had been shattered by more than half, and he was covered in blood.
He used some of the precious materials he had obtained from the Demon Teacher Hall to create a long sword. Now, the sword is only half of its original length, and the other half has been devoured by a extremely violent vortex.
Terrible!
He followed a river forward. The dragon race naturally likes to control water currents, and he thought that staying by the water was the safest option. By following the water, he might soon see the creatures of this world. Unaware of the situation outside and not knowing what had happened in this world, he urgently needed some intelligence.
"I don't know about Li's disciple. I hope he is blessed and protected by heaven."
The Five-child bravely came to save him, which deeply moved him. He worried that the misfortune on his body might affect this lifelong friend, so he sighed deeply along the way.
At this moment, his apprentice Li is gnawing on a bamboo shoot. The previous incident with the Yin-Yang giant tree was just a cover-up; the turmoil inside the Taiji Diagram was all caused by Deng ChanYu and the Old Mother of Lishan. Without much effort, she found Nezha and Yuanxiao, who felt embarrassed to say that he was a bit hungry and was then rewarded with a purple bamboo shoot.
Surroundings were peaceful, Yuanxiao sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the bamboo shoot and began to gnaw on it.
Nezha didn't want to lose, he thought, what was the big deal with eating bamboo? I want one too!
After holding back for a while, he couldn't help it anymore and asked with a hint of implication, "Teacher, did Yuanxiao get the bamboo he wanted?"
Yuanxiao on the side: "???"
I didn't say I wanted bamboo, it was Deng uncle who gave it to me!
Deng ChanYu thought for a moment about how to phrase her words and then said, "It's in hand, but not quite in hand yet."
"What does that mean?"
"Yuanxiao is to travel from Shu to Jiangkou by the river current. She sits in a wooden boat, but because of her too" Deng ChanYu was going to say "fat," but seeing Yuanxiao pouting and looking slightly unhappy, she stopped.
The more one cultivates, the more one resembles a human, and the more human nature one has, the less one likes to be called fat! There was never such a thing before; the iron-eating beast had no concept of fatness or thinness.
In the end, she is still a little girl I watched grow up. As an old lady of over a thousand years, it's better not to hurt her self-esteem.
She changed her words: "Yuanxiao is going to Jiangkou by boat. Halfway there, she found that the bamboo from Emei Mountain might be delicious, but using it to make a wooden boat is really inappropriate. Unfortunately, she has urgent matters and cannot stop, so she can only replace the planks on the boat while sailing. She changes one block today and another tomorrow."
I ask you, when Yuanxiao reaches Jiangkou, is the wooden boat she is riding still the same one as before?
Yuanxiao widened her eyes, gave it some serious thought, and confidently said, "No!"
Nezha, however, had a different opinion: "It should still be the same. The essence of the wooden boat hasn't changed, its function hasn't changed either, and neither have the passengers on the boat. The only difference is that it has evolved from the wooden boat of yesterday to today."
Yuanxiao was a bit confused, but neither Deng ChanYu nor her disciples explained further.
She could only frown and think deeply about the key issue. After thinking for a while, she didn't quite understand, and her stomach started to growl. She quickly accelerated her eating of bamboo shoots.
The Taiji Diagram cannot be directly seized by force. It's too impulsive.
The Ta Qing Saint has only temporarily left and will definitely return sooner or later.
Deng ChanYu's method is substitution. She changed a little bit today and tomorrow she will change another little bit. Starting is always difficult, but with the help of NaoJia's cover-up, she has already obtained a part of the origin of the Taiji Diagram through the authority of Yinyang Elder.
The Taiji Diagram is a treasure created alongside Yinyang Elder, which is much closer in relationship to Hongjun and Taqing than to others. It's only because they have attained the Way of Ultimate Creation that they didn't fight for it during the time of learning the Dao at Zihao Palace.
It's a bit too late for Yinyang Elder now, but it's just right for Deng ChanYu.
It's like replacing wooden boards, changing one piece today and another tomorrow, all done silently and without a sound.
Even Taishou Laojun wouldn't be able to discover any traces. Moreover, Laojun is so engrossed in refining elixirs that he doesn't have the time to watch the Taiji Diagram every day.
As long as we can deceive Xuan Dou, we can consider the task completed.
This time span may be very long, but Deng ChanYu is not currently short on time.
