Chapter 6: The Primordial Chaos Opens for the First Time
Pangu died, his body fell to the sky and earth, all things were born, and the chaos was formed. Zhong Cheng witnessed the process of opening up the sky, and benefited greatly from it. Since Pangu's great array couldn't be taken out temporarily, he simply cultivated inside. A thousand years passed in a flash, after the creation of the universe, there were more reference objects between heaven and earth, the sun, moon, stars, and seasons had order, mountains, rivers, and waters had life, and the passage of time was even clearer.
After a thousand years, Zhou Chengxiu's cultivation had become even more profound, and he had also mastered the Pan Gu Great Array that shrouded him. He could set it up as well, but his magical powers were not yet at the level of Pan Gu, so the great array couldn't withstand the heavenly might of opening the sky. With a casual gesture, the Pan Gu Great Array was stored in a piece of purple jade, and in the future, if he found a cave abode, it would be good to use this array to defend against wild beasts.
Zhou Cheng emerged from the array, looked up at the sky and let out a loud laugh. The vast and desolate world, I have arrived! At this time, his magical powers had not increased much, but still surpassed those of a saint. Although he had gained a deeper understanding of the laws of the Great Way, he was still stuck in the realm of an quasi-sage. There were three things that could help him make a breakthrough: sudden enlightenment, bringing his own chaotic chapter to the highest level of the sage chapter, or comprehending the heavenly secrets imparted by Pangu and the seal of Pangu. Otherwise, relying solely on his powers to prove his way would not be enough, at least not in just one or two days. However, after a thousand years of quiet meditation following the creation of the heavens, he was not without gains. At the very least, he had gained an unparalleled advantage in terms of spatial power and creative transformation.
Zhou Cheng's mind stirred, his facial muscles twitched, and in an instant he transformed into a very lewd young man, extremely lewd. This kind of honor can only be discerned by someone at the level of Hong Jun. It's truly a great thing to have a steady life. Next, he displayed a part of the spatial principles that can only be understood by a Zhun Jiao master, lightly taking a step forward and appearing in front of the massive sun star.
The vastness of the Sun Star in the Primordial Era far surpassed that of later generations. The entire planet was covered with the true fire of the sun, and it was indeed a fierce flame that filled the sky. No wonder it could give birth to Dong Huang Tai Yi and Emperor Jun, those powerful heroes of the Primordial Era.
Zhou Cheng swept his divine consciousness across the area and immediately discovered a faint aura of chaos that he was familiar with. He found the Chaos Bell, which was currently being nurtured within the Sun Star along with Dong Huang Tai Yi. Later on, it was destined that Dong Huang would awaken while holding onto the Chaos Bell, and thus the bell in his arms came to be known as the East Emperor's Bell.
Zhou Cheng pointed with one hand, and instantly the twelve golden lotus flowers protected the two big demons who were sleeping soundly. The Hun Dun bell flew towards Zhou Cheng happily. Zhou Cheng held the small bell in his hand, clapped his hands and laughed: "Old friend, I've come to see you, but today isn't the time for us to meet. Let me think carefully first." This Hun Dun bell didn't want to protect Dong Huang Tai Yi and the others either, it was just that the heavenly way required it to go through the motions, but in the end, this bell would not help Dong Huang become a saint.
Zhou Cheng pointed at the Chaos Bell, and the Chaos Bell lightly rang 12 times. It flew slowly towards Zhou Cheng's head, and the vast expanse of time seemed to be frozen in place. Time itself appeared to have stopped moving. Zhou Cheng sat down cross-legged, focusing his mind on arranging the Chaos Bell. In the blink of an eye, 100 years had passed.
Haha, just you wait and see how you'll be able to prove your way again. This bell has already been calculated by me, and the Lingbao is spiritual and won't help you become a saint. The so-called great merit of becoming a saint and becoming a saint through power are all empty talk for you. Haha. Zhou Cheng set up a simplified Pangu array next to the bell spirit in the Hunyuan Bell, stably protecting the bell spirit. Unless a saint personally enters, it can't be discovered, but whether a saint can break it is unknown. What's more, even if they can break it, as soon as something happens, Zhou Cheng's divine consciousness inside will know. And unable to refine the bell spirit, Dong Huang can only admire its shape, able to use its form but without any other wonderful uses.
Having dealt with the Chaos Bell, Zhou Cheng felt a sense of relief, as if a pile of money had been placed on the road ahead, and everyone rushed to grab it, but he already knew that his name was written on the money, destined for him. Ah, who made me born early? Zhou Cheng indulged in self-admiration.
Zhou Cheng thought that since the matter of Hun Dun Zhong had been settled, he should consider finding a place to settle down. Recently, he calculated the heavenly machine and found it exceptionally clear, perhaps because the cause and effect were not complicated now, the heavenly machine was not chaotic, and the crisis in the future would be severe. He wanted to choose a good location as his foothold, and there were many spiritual mountains in the Hongyuan that could be searched for a treasure land. Although the destruction of the Hongyuan had a huge impact, since the original Kunlun Mountain was preserved, his own mountain head was protected by an ancient array, how could it be destroyed? He must make good arrangements to prevent his mountain gate from being disturbed by dragons and snakes in the future, and anyone could bully him. If someone's door was disturbed every day, making their life restless, who wouldn't become irritable?
This time, after calculating the heavenly machine, Zhou Cheng gained some insight and decided to cultivate first. He found a mountain peak with steep cliffs, gazing at the sea of clouds that his past self loved the most, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: why did he have the chance to watch the clouds and appreciate the scenery again? It was just good luck. But can one person be lucky for their whole life? At least without achieving Mixed Yuan, it's impossible to completely avoid cause and effect; who knows when a lifetime of cultivation would turn to dust. It seems that being low-key is necessary, while having strong techniques and treasures is crucial. When hitting with a black stick or knocking on a brick, one must also make the stick round and the brick solid. If he wants to be able to watch the wind and scenery with peace of mind in the future, then true strength is the only way. The Heavenly Way governs the world, but fists are what govern life and face.
Zhou Cheng sat quietly, organizing his own primordial chapter and the heavenly creation insights that Pangu had given him, as well as the yuan god's branding. This time he was prepared to thoroughly experience the heavenly creation insights that belonged to Pangu. Although Zhou Cheng had also witnessed the entire process of creating heaven, he hadn't personally taken action, so his feelings weren't as deep as Pangu's.
Zhou Cheng merged the Open Heaven Heart Method into his primordial spirit, and suddenly felt that the scene of opening up the sky reappeared in front of him. Either the chaos was split open by Pangu's axe, or the heavens and earth returned to chaos once again. The infinite gives birth to the supreme ultimate, the supreme ultimate gives birth to the two forms, yin and yang evolve into the eight trigrams, and the four images appear in the nine palaces.
In the end, all illusions turned into a life character and an extinction character. It turns out that everything is so simple, and the ultimate of all things in the world is the way of life and death. Zhou Cheng's Taoist practice took another big step towards the Hunyuan Saint.
The Way of Heaven has creation and destruction, yin and yang, evil and good, cause and effect. The evolution of the Heavenly Way is a cycle of fifty years, with forty-nine coming to an end. This remaining one is what should be responded to in opportunity. It's just like this, later sages knew the Heavenly Way was predetermined, but still struggled and plotted against each other for that small trend within the great trend of the Heavenly Way. Although it's only a small trend, it can establish a sect and bring blessings to disciples. In the future, for that small trend within the great trend of the Heavenly Way, I'll have to fight with various sages several times. Whether they're Taoist or Buddhist, male or female, let me be at a disadvantage? Don't believe me? Look at my brick...
Also don't know how long has passed, Zhou Cheng woke up from the enlightenment of Kaitian Heart Method, feeling that his magical powers have been improved and his Taoism has made great progress, but he still can't surpass the realm of Quanzong. The machine of the Great Way is like the moon in the water, it can be seen but not reached, it seems that there is no great opportunity, becoming a saint is an illusion.
Since the opportunity had not yet arrived, he did not force it. He immediately stood up, gazing at the vague and lingering floating clouds below the steep cliff, let out a faint sigh, and then stood up to leave.
Primordial Chaos, I have arrived! The long roar of Zhou Chengyi's voice echoed across the Primordial Continent for a long time.
