"The so-called True Ancestor is just a title for future generations. Little friend Shen Lang can just call me old man Wu Shi." The old man said with kind eyes.
"Don't take it seriously! Shen was so offended just now, please forgive me, Senior Wu Shi." Shen Lang hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted.
The True Ancestor Wu Shi shook his head and said with a smile: "Hahaha, since we meet in this way, there is no need to stick to etiquette. If we really want to dig deeper, maybe you are my senior."
"I'm your senior? This..." Shen Lang was stunned and couldn't recover for a while.
The True Ancestor Wushi smiled lightly and said: "I once had a friendship with the predecessor of little friend Shen Lang. Compared with the predecessor of little friend Shen Lang, I can be considered a junior."
Shen Lang could roughly guess that the "predecessor" Wushi True Ancestor was referring to was probably the Heaven Jie Emperor, so he asked tentatively: "Senior Wu Shi also knows the Heaven Jie Emperor?"
The True Ancestor Wu Shi nodded slightly and said: "In my early years, I was inspired by the Emperor of Heaven to establish a sect in the human realm and establish Buddhism."
Shen Lang was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the Infinite True Ancestor actually founded Buddhism under the guidance of Emperor Jie Tian.
"Little friends may not know that the original purpose of my founding of Buddhism was not to preach, but to gather the power of faith of all living things and gather the energy of heaven and earth passing by in the human realm." Wushi True Ancestor said frankly.
"Gathering the energy of heaven and earth? What does this mean?" Shen Lang was very curious.
Wushi True Ancestor explained: "Since the death of the two realm masters of the human and demon realms, the lack of the treasure that sealed the realm has caused the realms to continue to weaken, and the energy is also passing away."
"The energy of heaven and earth in a realm is constant. Once the energy of the human realm dissipates, it will be completely destroyed and there will be no possibility of salvation."
Shen Lang listened a little confused and asked in a deep voice: "Junior still doesn't understand, what is the so-called Qi of Heaven and Earth?"
Wu Shi True Ancestor said: "Little friend Shen Lang, you can imagine the Qi of heaven and earth as the Qi of Yin and Yang, the root of cause and effect, the source of the existence of all things in the world, and the source of all laws."
"Once the Qi dissipates, the laws of heaven and earth in the realm will be infinitely weakened, and over time, the realm will decline and perish."
"The only power that can stop or gather the flow of heaven and earth energy is the power of faith of all living beings."
"After I got a glimpse of this method, I founded Buddhism, made connections with all living beings, opened wide doors of teaching, relieved the sufferings of all living beings, gathered the faith of all living beings and transformed thousands of wishes into the realm, preventing the flow of heaven and earth energy."
"However, the Hunyuan catastrophe suddenly came, causing heavy damage to the realm and the destruction of all things."
"At that time, in order to prevent the disaster from destroying the human realm, I joined forces with three fellow Taoists, Hongjun, Chongli, and Xingxuan, to sacrifice themselves. With the help of the power of the sealing astrolabe, I barely stopped the disaster, but it also cost a lot of effort. cost."
The Beginning True Ancestor sighed.
Shen Lang looked astonished. No wonder the four true ancestors suddenly disappeared and looked for traces. It turned out that they died trying to save the human realm.
Although he had never understood the Hunyuan Great Tribulation and had never read the description of the Hunyuan Great Tribulation in ancient books, based on Shen Lang's experience, he could basically guess that the great disaster in the Hunyuan Era was the human domain. The first realm intersection!
During the first intersection of the demon realm, Shen Lang also relied on the repaired Demon Sky Shield to create a strong enough interface barrier to completely isolate the demon realm from the ghost realm, thereby blocking the invasion of ghost realm creatures.
If the Demonic Sky Shield, a replica of the world-sealing treasure, did not work, even if the Demonic Realm would not be destroyed by the invading ghost realm creatures, it would collapse and collapse due to the rapid loss of the realm's energy.
This shows the importance of the sealed treasure!
"Although I died in that Hunyuan catastrophe, before my death, I sealed some of the unexpired heaven and earth Qi of the human domain in the Qiankun Tower, and separated three primordial spirits to take care of them."
"Over time, my three primordial spirits merged with the energy of heaven and earth in the Qiankun Pagoda, and turned into the third generation of Buddhas, which is the three dharma appearances of Tathagata, Lantern, and Maitreya that you just saw, little friend Shen Lang." Wu Shi The True Ancestor spoke eloquently.
Shen Lang was shocked and apologized repeatedly: "Shen didn't know that those three Dharma signs were actually the souls of Senior Wu Shi. This... is really offensive!"
Unexpectedly, the Tathagata, the burning lamp and the Maitreya Dharma that he had just swallowed were actually the spirits of the ancestors without beginning.
Buddhism in the Hunyuan era did have the theory of three Buddhas.
Three generations refers to: past, present and future.
Tathagata represents the present, the burning lamp represents the past, and Maitreya represents the future.
The three are unified, without past or present, without beginning or end.
It also represents the identity of the Beginning True Ancestor.
The Original Ancestor shook his head and laughed: "Only the Son of Heaven in this world can control the energy of heaven and earth and save the realm."
"The energy of heaven and earth carried by the 'Three Worlds Buddha' transformed by my soul should be returned to you in full, so why should I offend you?"
"If you can't swallow it, it will be a big problem."
Shen Lang seemed to understand, but asked curiously: "What does this mean?"
The True Ancestor Wushi smiled and said: "Little friend Shen Lang, although the amount of Qi you have accumulated is huge, it is far from reaching the limit. The addition of the Third Buddha can quickly improve your cultivation strength."
Shen Lang finally realized it later.
No wonder that after devouring the Dharma of the Third Buddha, he was able to advance to the realm of divine transformation very smoothly. It turned out that it was not the power of the Third Buddha himself, but the blessing of the energy of heaven and earth.
Shen Lang could indeed feel that his soul and body seemed to be filled with an increasingly enriched and mysterious force. The reason for this force was unclear, but he did feel that his existence had become more complete.
This experience is difficult to express in words, it is very wonderful.
"Why did Senior Wushi help me like this? Is it because I am the so-called son of heaven?" Shen Lang couldn't help but ask.
The True Ancestor Wu Shi said with a smile: "In the past, fellow Taoist Hongjun deduced everything with the art of Dream Dao. We knew that we could not save the human realm, so we chose to pave the way for the sons of Heaven."
"The reason why we help you and why we insist on letting you save the world is for no other reason than that, because only you can do it!"
Shen Lang still didn't understand, gritted his teeth and said, "Why...only I can do it?"
"When you truly transform into the way of heaven, you should know everything."
"When then, you may find that everyone along the way, including me...maybe just a link in this chain of cause and effect." The True Ancestor Wu Shi said meaningfully.
Shen Lang didn't want to dwell on these things anymore. He took a deep breath, cupped his fists towards the True Ancestor Wu Shi and said, "No matter what, I would like to thank Senior Wu Shi for the opportunity!"
The True Ancestor Wu Shi smiled faintly: "I have completed my mission. Go, little friend Shen Lang. It's time for you to witness all this."
As soon as he finished speaking, the body of the True Ancestor Wu Shi turned into a ray of Buddha light and dissipated in the galaxy universe.
Although Shen Lang still had many doubts, he felt that it didn't matter if he asked any more questions. He wanted to explore the truth himself.
The Beginning True Ancestor just disappeared.
"Boom boom boom!"
The space on the ninth floor of the Samsara Palace began to become unstable.
Without the blessing of the Wu Shi True Ancestor's wish, the ninth level of the Samsara Heavenly Palace could not withstand the Heaven-Swallowing Technique of the Snake of the Beginning.
Soon, the space in the ninth layer began to collapse, and the sky of the Galaxy Universe collapsed into a large black space. It would not be long before it completely collapsed.
Shen Lang sat upright as usual.
Now that his cultivation has reached the realm of divine transformation, he is fearless and plans to confront the Snake of the Beginning head-on.
