Prehistoric: Twin lotuses with parallel stems

On this day, ordinary people were ignorant and unaware, but the spiritual practitioners were in a state of constant fear.

The more advanced a person is, the more terrified he is. For those who practice Taoism, it is as if the heaven and earth have collapsed.

The power of the great laws between heaven and earth receded like the tide and turned into nothingness, and heaven and earth lost their way.

At this moment, for them, it was like a fish living in water and suddenly the pond dried up, which was tantamount to a disaster.

Fear and powerlessness grew from the bottom of their hearts, and many cultivators even experienced a decline in their realm.

Without the support of the power of the Great Dao, their cultivation and spiritual attainments were rapidly dissipating and returning to nothingness.

The surface of the world seems to be fine, but the laws of the universe that support its existence and operation are disappearing. The entire world seems to have become a mirage and is no longer real.

Many perceptive practitioners can vaguely sense that the traces of their own existence are silently returning to nothingness and being erased, like dust in the wind, dissipating and becoming untraceable.

The Golden Immortals who lived forever with the Tao are no longer immortal, their Tao fades away and they become mortals. After all, their immortality depends on the heaven and earth.

Only those who have reached the Taiyi realm can slightly resist becoming empty, because they are already on the path of binding all their own causes and effects.

Those who are Daluo are self-perfected, and can resist the erosion of the external Dao by consuming their own Dao. They can even protect those around them, turning their own Dao into fireflies to fill the void left by the decline of the Dao of heaven and earth.

It's just that his own power is limited, and it's difficult to produce much effect under such consumption. Thousands of fireflies gather together, perhaps to illuminate a corner, but it's difficult to illuminate the sky and replace the sun, moon and stars.

The power of the Great Dao is fading, regardless of time or space, and is difficult to contain.

If you continue like this, you will face a moment of absolute helplessness, and everything will become vain.

Creation, existence, destruction and emptiness, this moment is the process of destruction to emptiness.

Countless spiritual beings were in panic. Even saints could no longer borrow the power of heaven and earth, because there was no power left between heaven and earth.

However, many people were already prepared for such a situation. The Taoist summoned many powerful people to the Zixiao Palace, and this was what he was talking about.

This kind of situation was something they had never imagined in the past, but they had to accept this fact.

This dissipated power will all return to nothingness and will turn into absolute "blank" and fall down, erasing all existence and returning to emptiness.

However, the Taoist also told them that what they, the saints and other kinds of enlightened ones, need to face is not the subsequent declining power, and someone will bear the swallowing of nothingness.

Between heaven and earth, in the residences of immortals and the temples of powerful beings, all eyes opened from their seclusion with solemn expressions.

In the starry sky, the stars are shining, the gods have returned to their positions, ready for battle, and everything is silent.

Beneath the netherworld, the six paths of reincarnation stand tall, with the underworld and heaven echoing each other from afar, and the power of heaven and earth intertwined.

Between the two, all living beings inherit the way of heaven and the way of earth, connecting the two closely.

Above the Heavenly Palace, the Zixiao Palace appeared, located close to the Heavenly Dao. Daoist Patriarch Hongjun sat calmly with a calm look. Taoist Yangmei had an unhappy look on his face, but it was useless to complain at this moment. He was feeling the evolution of the heaven and earth at this moment, comprehending the process of birth, existence, destruction and emptiness, and watching the birth and death of the Great Dao.

Deep in the underworld, a woman with a beautiful face stood still, her body one with the Tao, and she carried the Tao with her body.

These existences are like the light of the sun and the moon that disappears, and fireflies that appear in the dark night, scattered between heaven and earth, but facing the same situation without any difference.

There were no endless battles, no overwhelming momentum, and all magical powers, treasures, and mysterious Taoist techniques were of no use.

What there is is just a pure and direct confrontation with the Great Dao, seeking the survival of the Dao and the survival of one's body.

Above the long river of time, Qingxuan looked towards the heaven and earth, towards the evolving heavens, and also towards the past, looking through the ages. His aura was peaceful and flowing naturally.

"Nvqing, if you don't attain enlightenment now, when will you?" Qingxuan retracted his gaze, looked at the figure of his closed disciple who was sitting cross-legged not far away, and spoke.

The young woman closed her eyes and entered a state of meditation. She made hand gestures and eight figures materialized and surrounded her.

The Taoist bodies evolved from the seven gourds, as well as Nvqing's original body, guard her innate gourd vine.

Her way of attaining the Tao naturally took the innate gourd vine as her foundation. Only this innate gourd vine body could better accommodate her Tao fruits that evolved from different but common origins.

The shadow of the innate gourd vine emerged and stretched out across the long river of time.

Seven gourds carrying different avenues are hung on the vines, connected by their roots, and all the avenues are integrated into one.

At this moment, Nv Qing's aura reached its peak, and a great road stretched out from her body, filled with the aura of Hunyuan.

As the power of the Great Dao between heaven and earth faded, the suppression and restraint of heaven and earth also dissipated on their own. Nv Qing's own power was no longer restrained, and the shackles became the weakest at this moment.

Nv Qing had accumulated enough experience and no longer needed to break free from external constraints. As a result, she had one less shackle to break through. The constraints from her roots were broken, and the path was formed. The threshold was easily broken.

At this moment when the world was losing its way, Nü Qing had her chance to prove her way, breaking through the realm and attaining Hun Yuan.

Qingxuan did not pay attention to his disciple's breakthrough. There would be no accidents in Nuqing's enlightenment, and there was no need for him to intervene.

"Fellow Daoist Zhulong, thank you for your trouble." Qingxuan's gaze fell on a certain place in the long river of time, where there was a red dragon figure lurking in it.

Zhulong appeared, his face showing a bit of bitterness, but he didn't say anything.

In order to protect himself, he has to preserve this long river of time, otherwise he will also disappear.

The long river of time runs through the world, connecting the past and the future.

And now, the past is fading away, returning to nothingness, erasing all traces of the past.

There is a gap in the future, with no extension forward. It is flat and smooth, as if cut off with a knife, and there is no future.

"Fellow Daoists, thank you for your trouble." Qing Xuan's calm voice reached the ears of many Daoists in the Three Realms, and at this moment he still seemed casual, "If this calamity can be overcome, the prehistoric world can be saved. In the long river of time, someone will lead you back. Don't worry."

"Is worrying useful?" As soon as Qing Xuan finished speaking, he received the first response from his fellow Taoist, and the unpleasant voice of Taoist Yangmei came.

"It's useless, so don't worry, fellow Taoist." Qingxuan responded.

"When heaven and earth lose their way, I am the way. As long as I am alive, the way will last forever." Hongjun's voice was gentle and calm.

As he finished speaking, he summoned his companion treasure, the Jade Disc of Creation, and his own avenue spread out. The Way of Heaven became apparent, covering the vast world.

The two saints, Hongjun and Houtu, one sat cross-legged on the heavenly path and the other stood under the earthly path, suppressing the two poles and turning into two sources.

The saints of the Heavenly Dao and the masters of the six Earthly Daos protect them, further evolving and extending the power of both Heaven and Earth, and adding blessing to it with their own Dao fruits.

Heaven and Hell, taking over the power of the two paths, split into thousands.

When the power of all human beings gathers together, the positions of the gods become like nodes, receiving the power of the heaven and earth.

With the three paths of heaven, earth and man as the source, a web of order spreads out, imprinted into time and space, replacing the fading power of the avenue and suppressing the trend of collapse.

The laws of the Great Dao that filled the heaven and earth faded away, and these beings, based on the Three Daos, evolved their own Great Dao to fill the gaps left there, using themselves as the source of the Dao and returning emptiness to reality.

This is a complete change of the world, replacing everything left by Pangu from the root.

Pangu's Dao fruit gathered everything and took back all the power, causing everything to become an illusion of nothingness, while the three paths of heaven, earth and man turned into a new source of power to fill it.

The existence of the ancient world cannot be supported by personal strength alone. Even the Taoist Hongjun cannot do it because he is not Pangu.

However, the three forces were evolved by Pangu, leaving behind a glimmer of hope. With sufficient strength to support them, they can hopefully hold up the heaven and earth.

At the same time, the Three Paths do not belong to anyone, not to Hongjun and Houtu, the masters of the Heavenly Path and Earthly Path, and not even to Pangu.

Heaven creates all things, earth nurtures all living things, and all living things depend on heaven and earth for survival.

At this moment, it is the power of living beings that is the foundation, which in turn supports the continuation of heaven and earth. They have become the fundamental power support for the existence of heaven and earth, preventing heaven and earth from becoming empty with the convergence of Pangu's power.

Qingxuan and Qinglian just watched it all quietly, watching the twinkling candlelights light up in the long river of time, as bright as the galaxy.

They did not make any move, and the axe had not yet fallen. They were just gathering their strength at this moment.

They are not one of the candles that illuminate the heaven and earth. The collapse of the prehistoric world caused by the fading of the power of the Great Dao is a catastrophe that the three paths of sentient beings need to face. Relying on their own strength to maintain the existence and continuation of the prehistoric world is what others need to do.

What Qingxuan and Qinglian need to face is the power of nothingness transformed from the gathered power, and the axe light that will return everything in the world to nothingness.

Is this a chance to attain enlightenment and transcendence?

Qingxuan picked up Long Ji with his backhand, but the latter hugged her arm tightly.

"Master, I want to follow you!"

Realizing something, Long Ji's young face was full of determination. Deep in her golden dragon pupils, a green lotus shadow was reflected. The two great ways intertwined, and the aura on her body was no longer calm.

Qingxuan frowned and stretched out his other hand to touch her head, but Long Ji was still unwilling to let go.

Long Ji never thought that her master would be in danger, but at this moment, her intuition told her that what her master was facing was even more powerful than her two masters and very dangerous.

The majestic power of Hunyuan surrounded them, and a silver-white dragon shadow coiled around them, seeming to protect Qingxuan and the other person.

Qing Xuan flicked his finger on Long Ji's forehead and said, "As a junior, how can you stand in front of your uncles? This is a great opportunity for me. Please stay at the back and keep an eye on the cave for me."

"Gu Hou will take good care of the cave." For the first time, Long Ji questioned Qing Xuan's words and argued.

"Just stay here, we will come back. Remember, you are the only disciple who will inherit our great way." Qingxuan said.

Qingxuan picked up Long Ji, threw her out of the long river of time, into the chaos, and she landed in the Lotus Sky.

Long Ji is the Hunyuan Dao Fruit. She does not rely on the great Dao of the ancient world, nor does she rely on the three Daos of heaven, earth and man, and is not affected by them.

Qingxuan looked at another disciple present and took a step back.

"Master, I have already handed over the Classic of Mountains and Seas to my senior sister. Although I am a Hun Yuan, I can still share some of the burden. Please allow me to stay in the prehistoric world."

"You have just achieved Hun Yuan. You must know that if Hong Huang cannot survive this catastrophe, it will be too late for you to escape from the Hong Huang world."

"The existence of the ancient world is more beneficial to the two masters, right? I have received great kindness from you in teaching and protecting the Dao. With my level of cultivation, I really have no chance to repay you. Please let me stay here and do my part." The young woman bowed.

Qingxuan didn't say anything. It was true that Nvqing was not as easy to fool as Longji and she preferred to use her brain.

"Disciple believes in Master. The ancient world will not be destroyed by this catastrophe. Disciple will stay in the ancient world and leave some traces for Master." The young woman continued.

Qingxuan looked at Nuqing, this disciple really knew too much.

"Master, please rest assured. I will follow your instructions and will not steal the limelight from you uncles."

Having said this, Qing Xuan waved his hand: "Then go ahead."

After paying her respects, Nv Qing turned around and left. She did not go to Daozu's Zixiao Palace, nor did she go to Hou Tu's underworld. Instead, she ran directly to the Heavenly Palace.

Qingxuan smiled. This disciple really stood behind all the uncles.

The Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth are the first to be affected. Hongjun and Houtu, standing at the front, face the greatest pressure.

The Heavenly Palace is the last network where the power of the great way of all living beings exists.
