The master comes down the mountain: I don’t want to be a son-in-law

Lin Yun and Yan Jin were both very excited, because coming to this conclusion meant that even without external help and without anyone else to rescue them, they might be able to get out of the painting as long as they found Pangu.

But there are only three of them here, where did Pangu come from?

“If we can’t find Pangu, it’ll be fine if we find Pangu’s axe.” said the eldest brother.

"Axe?" Yan Jin asked curiously, "Without Pangu, where would the axe come from?"

“Haha,” the eldest brother laughed, “Pangu has never been a specific person. He is a name, a symbol, and an intention that represents the creation of heaven and earth and the creation of the world.”

"Then who created the world? It is said that a saint created the world. I always thought that this saint was Pangu! Since Pangu is just a symbol, who is the saint who created the world? How did he create the world?" Lin Yun asked puzzledly.

"In fact, the world has always existed and does not need to be created by humans. You can also understand the so-called creation of the world by the saints as the saints establishing a set of rules from chaos. Yin and Yang rise and fall, the five elements circulate, and life is born from the spiritual energy. This is why our world is so rich and colorful." said the eldest brother.

"Establish a set of rules?" Lin Yun immediately realized the problem. "If that's the case, then our world is not the whole world, but a part of the chaotic world. It's like the saints created a barrier in the original chaotic world and created an independent small universe?"

The eldest brother smiled and nodded: "The word barrier comes from this. The so-called barrier we usually use only refers to the door to the cave. The real barrier is to form a world."

"I understand. When one's practice reaches a level close to the Tao, one has the ability to establish rules to create an independent world. The saints created the world, and the Buddha established Lingshan. They were all creating rules of their own," Yan Jin said.

"But what's the point? What we need now is to find a way out of this bird painting!" Lin Yun said angrily.

Yan Jin said: "This painting is a barrier. As long as we break it, we can get out."

Lin Yun said, "It's easy for you to say that, but how can we break the barrier? Didn't you hear what Senior Brother said? This was painted by Fuxi, embroidered by Nuwa, and made by the ten great witches. How can we break it?"

Yan Jin lowered his head and frowned as he thought: "Here, yin and yang are not yet separated, spiritual energy is hidden, and there is nothingness, just like a chaotic world. Is it possible that, according to the rules of our world, we can create a world in chaos and return to our world?"

Lin Yun was stunned: "What are you talking about? What a mess of nesting doll theory! The saint created the world from chaos, Fuxi painted a picture of chaos in the world, and then we created a barrier from the painting, and then returned to the world outside? Did you damage your brain when you were in college?"

Yan Jing remained silent, as if thinking about something.

At this time, the eldest brother suddenly coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The two were shocked: "Big Brother, what's wrong with you?"

In fact, it is clear without asking that the eldest brother's true energy is constantly being transferred to them, and they are leaking all over their bodies. When all the true energy is leaked out, no matter how powerful the eldest brother is, he cannot withstand it.

"I'm fine." The eldest brother's breath was obviously not as strong as it was at the beginning.

Lin Yun tried to break free from his senior brother's hand and said, "Senior brother, please stop wasting your energy."

But the eldest brother’s palm was firmly pressed against his back.

"Don't move! Keep discussing. We're almost getting to the point."

"Big Brother, what can we do? If you have a solution, please tell us now! Even if we can create the world, it is you who will create it. What can we do?"

"No! I can't create it!" Liu Chongjun shook his head. "The Mountain and River State Map has been in a state of nothingness and chaos since its creation. This is definitely not the original intention of the saint when he created it. It must be waiting for someone, waiting for an opportunity."

"The person you are talking about can't be us, right?" Lin Yun said in surprise.

"I don't know if it's you, but it definitely isn't me. If it were me, I should have felt the key to this painting as soon as we came in. But I didn't feel anything, which means that this empty world does not belong to me," said Liu Chongjun.

Lin Yun and Yan Jin looked at each other in bewilderment: "Then what should we do?"

"Originally, I wanted you to hold on to your Yuan and guard your true energy until the Tiandu Incident is over. As long as you are alive, you will always have a chance to get out. But it seems that you can't hold on, so you can only take a risk. I will use my true energy to protect you as much as I can. You must use your heart to feel and understand the world in this painting and find the key to this world."

"Cardinal?"

"Yes, the cardinal! It is the key to the operation of this world. When a saint creates the world, there must be a cardinal. This is also the key to connecting the barrier with the external chaotic primordial world."

"Big Brother, what you mean is that this painting is connected to the outside world?"

"Of course, otherwise how could we get in? However, in the outside world, this is just a painting, a magical tool. We only need to use special methods, that is, secret mantras and magic formulas, to interfere with external forces. But inside, without external interference, it is impossible for us to force our way out by our own strength. Only when the cardinal point of this painting itself is activated can we find a passage to the outside world."

"Is our world also connected to the outside world?" Yan Jin suddenly thought.

“Of course, the Kunlun Golden Summit and the formation of ten thousand immortals are to protect the core of the Heavenly Dao and prevent the demons from outside the domain from invading this world through this channel. At the same time, it also prevents the true energy of this world from leaking out and returning to chaos,” said Liu Chongjun.

"So this is ah!"

Lin Yun and Yan Jin then understood why Tiandu was regarded as the orthodox heavenly way and the ancestor of all immortals. It turned out that it had the mission of protecting the world.

"Big Brother, I heard that the immortals who entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Sword Formation were the strongest in history, and once they entered, they would never come out again. How come Gao Qi was able to come out? And he was accompanied by many Jiang family masters?"

"Actually, this is also a rumor. There has never been a rule that says you can't come out once you enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Sword Formation. It's just that those who can enter the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation have already reached the pinnacle of their practice and are close to realizing the way of heaven. Firstly, there is nothing in this world worth their nostalgia, and secondly, the spiritual energy in the world is not enough to sustain their future practice. So they would rather stay in the formation, like the stars in the sky, than come down again."

"As for Gao Qi..." Liu Chongjun shook his head. "When he came down, I was also surprised. Later I found out that he came to help Jiang Zifeng seize power. Jiang Zifeng is a descendant of the Jiang family. He is quite talented, but he is far from being able to lead the Wanxian Sect. There is no way he can be among the disciples of Tiandu. The Jiang family is so eager to come down to seize power, so there is only one possibility."

"What's possible?" Lin Yun asked.

"The sky is going to change..." Liu Chongjun raised his head and said while looking at the empty sky in the painting.
