On a small mountain in the north of Luoyang, a small Taoist temple was located on the top of the mountain. It was winter, and the trees on the mountain were no longer green. Only branches were left. When the wind blew, some withered leaves would roll up and pass through the forest. It looked rather bleak.
In front of the temple, there was an empty space that had been specially cleared. A seventeen or eighteen-year-old youth was practicing boxing. He was wearing a white middle robe and a pair of cloth shoes. His thick black hair was tied into a hairpin. He had a handsome face and bright eyes. He looked like an ancient hero.
After finishing his morning class, Zhao Hao slowly stopped practicing and let out a long breath. He wiped his sweat and walked into the house."Master, is the meal ready? This disciple is starving to death!"
"It's almost done. Don't worry." A gentle and aged voice came from the room.
Zhao Hao entered the room and sat on the bamboo chair. He took off his white inner robe and draped it over the back of the chair, revealing his lean muscles. He reached out for the laptop beside him, crossed his legs, and placed the notebook on his lap. He turned it on and swiped his fingers to find some interesting news.
Not long after, a 60-year-old man in a navy blue Daoist robe came into the room with two plates of food. Zhao Hao quickly put the computer aside and stood up to greet him. He reached out to take the dishes and said,"Master, you didn't even call me, what else? I'll bring it over."
"Go ahead. There are still two more dishes. I'll sit and relax. It's really hot today." The old Taoist priest wiped his sweat and sat down.
Zhao Hao brought over the remaining two dishes and two bowls of rice. The two chatted as they ate.
"What do you think happened to the sky? Not only did it not snow in the middle of winter, but the temperature was almost as high as summer.”The old Taoist priest put down his chopsticks and sighed.”
Zhao Hao picked up a mouthful of food and raised his eyebrows."It's been this damn temperature since summer. Who knows! Droughts were everywhere in the world, and the rain was getting lesser and lesser.”As he spoke, he pointed at the door with his chopsticks." Look, the leaves on the trees are almost gone. Even the pine trees and cypress trees are dying."”
He put away his chopsticks and took a mouthful of rice. He chewed and swallowed it in two mouthfuls. Suddenly, he had an idea and raised his head to ask,"Master, do you think the end of the world is really coming?”As he spoke, he frowned. Could it be that the legendary immeasurable tribulation is coming? Dharma Ending Tribulation?"
The old Taoist priest said gently," I told you to read more Taoist scriptures to gain more knowledge, but you didn't listen. You just like to practice martial arts. Otherwise, you'll hold onto your computer and won't let go. You'll look at it all day." There is no spiritual energy in the world. For cultivators like us, it is useless to absorb qi and take pills all day long. At most, we can strengthen our bodies. However, he could no longer cultivate any magic power or divine arts. Sigh…" He shook his head with a desolate expression.
" You make it sound like it's true…" Zhao Hao muttered softly.
"Pa!" The old Taoist priest slapped Zhao Hao's forehead.
"Aiya, Master, why did you hit me? The hairpin was broken.”Zhao Hao shouted as he put down his bowl and chopsticks to tidy up his hair. Seeing the old Taoist priest raise his hand again, he quickly admitted his mistake."I was wrong, Master. I know I was wrong!”
The old Taoist priest put down his hand angrily and said,"You didn't believe me all this time, right? After dinner, I'll show you the treasures passed down from our ancestors so that you won't have to be so scientific every day. Today, I'll let you know that science is not omnipotent!”
"Really? There really was a magic treasure that could overturn mountains and seas? Flying sword? Taking someone's head from a thousand miles away?" Zhao Hao looked doubtful.
The old Taoist priest's face darkened, and he could no longer maintain his elegant demeanor. He chased after Zhao Hao and knocked his head with a chopstick."I told you to overturn mountains and seas, I told you to take people's heads! You read novels all day!"
"Master, don't worry, I was wrong…"
————————————————————————————————————————
"Is this the treasure you were talking about?" Zhao Hao looked at the small white jade seal in front of him and asked,""It looks quite valuable, but I don't see how it's powerful.”
"This is the 'Yang Ping's Capital Control Seal' that Heavenly Master Zhang of Longhu Mountain used to command the ghosts and gods of the world!”The old Taoist priest had a serious expression on his face, and his eyes flashed with a yearning light. He said,"Legend has it that this is the first of the twenty-four capital governing seals that Grand Supreme Elder gave to Heavenly Teacher Zhang Daoling. It has earth-shattering power! Back then, Master Zhang held this seal and subdued demons. Countless demons died and the world was at peace. Later on, Master Zhang ascended and left the 24 Capital Ruling Skill Seals in the human world as the most precious treasure of the Celestial Master Sect! Later, during the Jin and Wei Dynasties, the current Heavenly Master Zhang received the Supreme Decree of pardon and re-established the Divine Path. With this seal in hand, he killed ancient gods and destroyed mountains and temples. Many gods were terrified when they heard this! They even didn't hesitate to sacrifice themselves to mortals to avoid the calamity!”The old Taoist priest glanced at Zhao Hao and said,""Now you know how powerful it is, right?”
"Are you kidding me? No matter how powerful Master Zhang was, he was just a mortal. How could he kill a god? Even if he had the Flipping Sky Seal in his hand, it was impossible, let alone the Seal of Capital Skill.”Zhao Hao retorted with his eyes wide open.
" Sigh, you joined us too late and you don't like to read Taoist scriptures, so you know very little about these things." The old Taoist shook his head."The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, the Seven Celestial Maidens of Dong Yong, the Third Holy Mother Liu Yanchang…all these stories happened during that period. Since then, the Divine Path was re-established, and there have been no more stories of people falling in love with the Divine Path. Do you think it's a coincidence? At that time, even a powerful descendant like Duke She, who was in charge of a continent, was trembling in fear. He was afraid of being killed, so he married his daughter to a mortal with great luck in order to seek protection. It was said that the secret techniques of the Dao Sect could drive ghosts and enslave gods when cultivated to a high level! Do you think it's empty talk?"
"Then Master, aren't you holding onto this 'Anything' Skill Seal? Can you enslave a god for me to see? It would be great if you could call Brother Monkey over for me to get to know him!”Zhao Hao smiled.
The old Taoist priest's face darkened as he raised his hand, and Zhao Hao jumped far away with a whoosh. He crossed his arms and shouted,""Master, a gentleman uses his mouth, not his hands. Besides, you said that this seal is very powerful.”
Just as the old Taoist priest was about to open his mouth, the ground suddenly shook. The old and the young almost fell down. Fortunately, the two of them practiced Taoist health cultivation every day. Although their combat strength was not very good when they fought, they were still strong and stronger than ordinary people. He barely managed to maintain his balance and did not fall.
Earthquake!
The unfinished food on the dining table fell all over the ground, and the bits and pieces in the room bounced around! Even this elegant-looking Taoist temple was screaming!
"Master!" Zhao Hao was flustered, but he did not hesitate at all. He quickly rushed to the old Taoist priest and pulled him out of the house.
"Kacha! Crack! Boom!" The beam on the roof was broken! With a loud crash, the wall quickly cracked. The entire Taoist temple was about to collapse! Zhao Hao's hair stood on end. He had never been so close to death! There was only one thought in his mind, Run!! They would be safe outside!
They ran forward on the bumpy ground. When the two of them ran out of the door, the ground cracked in less than three seconds! A huge gap appeared! The small Taoist temple on the top of the mountain was like a plastic toy that had been stepped on by a giant. It shattered into pieces along with half of the mountain!
The entire world seemed to be roaring. A huge rumble came from the ground, from the sky, and from all directions!
The heat between heaven and earth was rising rapidly, and the sun was getting brighter and brighter. It spurted out endless white-gold flames, as if it was struggling to survive! Black cracks that spanned thousands of miles appeared in the sky.
Earth was wailing!
The world was dying!
In just a dozen seconds, the entire world had changed beyond recognition!
When Zhao Hao fell from a huge crack that suddenly appeared, time seemed to have slowed down a lot. He raised his head and saw his master's sorrowful and desperate face. The moment before the world fell into darkness, he saw a white light.
When Zhao Hao woke up, he was in a white world. Endless white light illuminated every corner. There was no north, south, east, west, up, down, or up, so he couldn't tell directions. Zhao Hao was floating in this strange place where he couldn't reach the sky or the ground. There were two seals with him. One white and one black, they flew around him in circles. They were also floating in the air, making him a little dizzy.
After adapting for an hour, Zhao Hao, who had imagined countless possibilities, spoke carefully for the first time,""Is anyone there?"
"No, I haven't." An indifferent voice sounded.
Zhao Hao was speechless.
"Hello, who are you?"
"As you can understand, I am the will of the universe. Open your heart and you will know everything.”
______________________________________________________________________________
" So, you are the will of the universe I'm in. You are about to die, but you don't want to die. You chose me. You help me open the passage to other universes and protect me from the consciousness of other universes. I'm responsible for plundering the resources and power in other universes that are enough to stop you from dying. Am I right?”Zhao Hao frowned and continued asking, Can you provide me with any other help? Also, how dangerous is the world I'm going to?……How should I address you? It can't just be called the will of the universe, right?"
"I don't have a name. You can call me according to your habit. " Also, the world you're heading to isn't dangerous. I'll choose a parallel world similar to Earth for you to use as your base and source world. This universe is on the verge of destruction and is no longer suitable to exist as a base. During each time you transmigrate to another world, you need time to open a channel. During this period, what you need to do is to develop faith in the Source World and collect spiritual power as the energy needed for the next transmigration.”The universe will's voice was a little erratic,""But you have to be quick. I stopped the time of this universe at the moment you left. This isn't without a price. If you can't come back within 30 years, then this universe will be completely destroyed, and there will be no way to stop it!”
"To develop faith…to collect spiritual energy…do I have to create a sect? No, no, it's completely unrealistic. There's no money, and it's dangerous. It'll be a scam if people think that the Oblique Sect has been destroyed. Let me think. Collect spiritual energy…spiritual…faith, worship, yes, worship!”Zhao Hao's eyes lit up." Is it okay as long as others admire me and like me?" he asked. Can we collect spiritual energy like this?"
"Sure." The universe will replied indifferently.
"Shredded coconut! That would be much easier. Didn't they say that I would be transported to a parallel world? I could become a celebrity. What could be faster than gathering fans? With more fans, there would naturally be more power, and it would be easier to earn money. He could show off! Everyone's attention. Just thinking about it makes me a little excited. Hehe, this is simply my ideal life! Thirty years, just you wait, Master!" He recalled the old Taoist priest's desperate and dejected expression when he lost his footing and fell. The smile on Zhao Hao's face gradually disappeared.""I will definitely come back!"
