Prehistoric: Twin lotuses with parallel stems

The years flow by, the trend is turbulent, but the long river of time is calm and without ripples, between reality and illusion, rolling forward.

A man in blue came strolling upstream, as if he was strolling in the garden, quite leisurely.

"It's you!"

A voice echoed in the past, and a figure condensed from the long river of time, turning into the appearance of a Taoist priest, staring at Qingxuan.

"You are obviously the same as us, walking the path of Hunyuan, you should be our fellow traveler, but you are willing to help Pangu to commit atrocities, how ridiculous!"

Qingxuan looked at Taoist Shichen with calm eyes.

He didn't take their ridicule to heart at all.

Hunyuan and Hunyuan, the fruits of the Tao are similar, but the paths are not necessarily the same.

Moreover, their path was opened up by themselves and has no inheritance relationship with the Chaos Demon.

Just like the Taoist priest Shichen, he mainly cultivates his own way of time, using one way to derive thousands of ways. In fact, his path is different from that of Qingxuan and the others.

Moreover, Taoist Shichen still covets the fruits of Pangu's Taoist practice, but Qingxuan and the others don't have such thoughts.

"Fellow Daoist, don't you understand yet? Your goal cannot be achieved at all. It has been like this since the beginning."

Taoist Shichen remained silent. How could he not know by now?

There was no chance for him to seize Pangu's Dao Fruit at all, and the other party was even too lazy to pay attention to him.

"You are different from Hongjun. His path has long been unchangeable, and he has no control over how high he can reach. Now that you are close to this level, you should know how difficult the road ahead is and how hard it is to find a chance."

Qing Xuan smiled and asked, "Well, so what?"

"Are you willing? Are you willing to do this? I don't believe that you really have no idea about that realm. No matter how slim the chance is, you should try to fight for it at all costs. Sooner or later, you will reach my point." Taoist Shichen asserted.

To attain the state of Hun Yuan might be difficult for ordinary creatures, but for Chaos Demons, they are born this way and it is their starting point.

But although their starting point is high, they cannot see the end, and they don’t even know if there is an end. They are at a loss as to how to move forward or whether their path is right.

But at this time, Pangu reached the other side and reached another realm. How could they not go crazy?

Qingxuan actually had the same feeling about what Taoist Shichen said.

I can feel the improvement in my cultivation level, but I don’t know if I am making progress. I don’t have any standards to refer to, and I don’t have a way forward.

Is it possible to transcend the current realm? To be honest, Qing Xuan didn't know.

However, Qingxuan was not in a hurry, nor was he that anxious. He firmly believed that the path he was taking was not the wrong one, and that was enough.

Therefore, Qingxuan’s response to what Taoist Shichen said was also very simple.

"Different road non-phase plan."

Taoist Shichen stared at Qingxuan but did not get angry.

The two did not say anything more. Taoist Shichen knew very well why Qingxuan came. He also knew that Hongjun's original plan was not just to suppress him.

He himself had foreseen this day long ago. When he was trapped, he knew that Hongjun would take action against him sooner or later.

He wanted to see how capable this young man in the Hunyuan realm was.

Moreover, Taoist Shichen was confident that Qingxuan could not do anything to him. Even if his great Dao was damaged, Qingxuan could take advantage of the situation to defeat him, or even join forces with Hongjun to suppress him, but they would still be unable to do anything to him.

Because the consequences of stirring up the river of time are not directed at him.

He couldn't bear it, and neither Qingxuan nor Hongjun could bear it.

At this time, only Qingxuan set foot here. Hongjun did not show up because Hongjun was suppressing the disorder of the long river of time. He even wanted to use this long river of time to create a cage to cut off his past and future.

Qingxuan raised his hand, and a pitch-black spear appeared in his hand, filled with destructive power. A huge tripod dropped endless laws of order, all of which merged into the long river of time.

Qingxuan hadn't used the God-killing Spear and the Qiankun Cauldron for a long time. He was not the kind of person who liked fighting and killing, and he was always kind to others.

Having said that, the opportunity to fight with someone in the Hunyuan realm is also very rare, and this can provide some reference for my own path.

Taoist Shichen looked back upstream of the long river of time. The past history was isolated and sealed, while downstream, a green lotus was swaying, blocking his future.

The aura of the Tao is permeating the body of Taoist Shichen, extending infinitely. With his own Tao, he becomes the source of all Taos, giving rise to countless possibilities that interweave and change. Figures that exist in different times and spaces emerge one after another, walking between reality and illusion. They are all the evolution of his Tao.

In the state of Daluo, the past and the future coexist without distinction of time and space. Only by blocking all possibilities can the future be determined.

For the state of Hunyuan, there is no need to rely on the future development of the general trend. You can create countless futures by yourself. Endless possibilities are all yours.

There are countless shadows, each different from the others, like the gods and demons in the sky, unpredictable and mysterious.

The difference was that Qing Xuan just lightly raised the God-killing Spear, and a point fell into the void. An ordinary ray of light of the avenue bloomed, quickly split, and continued to differentiate, extending out like a tree root, spreading to every corner of time and space in an instant, and colliding with the figures of gods and demons.

One by one, spread throughout the universe.

Taoist Shichen frowned. Qingxuan's avenue was very strange. It seemed like the avenue of devouring, but it was different in essence because it was not devouring.

Qingxuan's attack and destructive power are only superficial, and that is not his true path.

The real power contained in the attack is assimilation and returning to nothingness.

All his mysteries of the Tao were reversed and returned to emptiness, contained in the true nothingness, the nothingness where even the Tao did not exist.

Tai Chi returns to Wuji, all forms and qualities, virtuality and reality, all return to nothingness, and it embraces all the "existence" and "non-existence".

Looking at Qingxuan himself, he was clearly there, but he gave people a sense of nothingness as if he did not exist, as if his own existence had also been eliminated.

Qingxuan's Hunyuan path is originally evolving towards Taiyi, and all paths will return to nothingness.

Taoist Shichen understood this and his expression became more serious.

"With this evolution, aren't you afraid that you will become a Dao and disappear before you become a Dao, erasing your own existence and returning to nothingness completely?"

"How could that be? Nothingness is not everything to me. This is my Tao, but it is not me. My Tao is for my own use. How can I let Tao dominate my existence itself?"

Taoist Shichen was silent for a moment, then he understood.

"So that's how it is. The root of your great way is not in yourself. The existence that runs counter to the great way you are cultivating is maintaining your self and preventing you from being assimilated by your own great way. You are each other's roots, mutually dependent and mutually verified, like twins, huh!"

The evolution and attack of the great Dao between the two people never stopped for a moment, and then the Dao was annihilated and each displayed his own Dao.

However, both of them behaved extremely calmly. Rather than fighting, it was more like they were discussing the Tao and verifying their respective Tao achievements, with ease and composure.

"How is it? Are you envious, fellow Taoist?"

"Oh, if the fruits of your two Daos were combined, it might be a great fortune." Taoist Shichen said, "Unfortunately, your path is not easy to follow. If it cannot sustain your existence, you will really cease to exist. Moreover, the existence of the self will be an obstacle that you cannot cross. You cannot reach that realm, where you can become nothing without existence. This path does not work."

"Really? Everything is Tao, there is no such thing as absolute. Daoist friend, you have never understood the Tao fruit that Pangu evolved when he created the great world."

Qingxuan walked backwards step by step with a gun in hand, leaving a trail of figures behind along the way.

And the Qiankun Ding stayed at the beginning, fixing his original figure and making it last forever, just like the beginning of Tao.

Qingxuan's walking figure became increasingly faint and unreal, until finally, it seemed to disappear completely.

Not only itself, but also the places it has passed, all things return to their source, and are reversed into nothingness, chaos, formlessness, substancelessness, and Taoism, erasing all traces of its existence.

Taoist Shichen looked at the extending void and snorted coldly. Time passed and endless axes extended out. As his original body walked, the path under his feet seemed to lead to the past and the future.

But at the same time, in the upstream of the long river of time behind him, a ruler materialized, demonstrating the power of order, establishing order for all paths, binding and imprisoning everything, making all things follow their own paths, and punishing those who violate the paths, further consolidating the cage created by Hongjun, sealing everything of the Taoist priest of Shichen, and preventing his great evolution.

Qingxuan is not only in the realm of Hunyuan, in this vast world, he can also be a saint, administering punishment according to the order of heaven and earth.
