Chapter 1264: The Underbelly of Transmitting the Law

With a slight movement of the Holy Emperor’s golden chains, one of the paper figures was yanked in front of Li Ping.

A little different from the others, this paper man didn’t have much fear on his face. Instead, it was a bit listless and breathless.

The thick eyebrows were upside down, looking quite a bit comical.

“Survival?”

“If the skin doesn’t survive, what will the fur be? If the Xuan Huang Realm is all destroyed, where can you all live!” The Sacred Emperor said in a cold voice.

The thick-browed paper man laughed bitterly, “Our strength in the Duo’er Sect is sparse, if it’s true that the Xuanhuang Realm is destroyed, there’s nothing we can do about it, is there? It can only be recognized.”

“Is it hard to believe that Your Holiness would blame the mortals in this world for not coming forward to save the Xuan Huang Realm? As much as you can, do as much as you can ……”

Li Ping didn’t argue with the Duo Yu Sect paper man, the golden chains once again exerted a slight force, “Sharp-tongued, still unrepentant at the end of his life.”

The golden light slowly coalesced, gradually changing from a chain-like thickness to only a thin line.

The thick-browed paper man was wrapped around in a circle.

The other captured paper people were screaming in terror.

But only that thick-browed paper man, as if sitting upright, his expression became solemn.

Mouth recited words: “The years become empty, the calamity is eternal. A hundred lifetimes and a thousand robberies, melting my golden body ……”

The golden source power that had been unfavorable to Saint Emperors in the past lost its effectiveness for the first time at this moment.

Li Ping only felt that the power imposed on the thick-browed paper man was invisibly and skillfully melted away.

It was even absorbed by the other party, becoming a part of its underpinnings.

The golden threads slowly dissolved, and the thick-browed paper man stood still, only the color of the paper man’s body slowly changed from a stale white-yellow color to a radiant gold that was close to the essence of source power.

The stone plate that had been watching from the sidelines, his expression instantly became a bit serious: “Fellow Daoist, be careful, this is precisely the Duoyue Sect’s mastery [Eternal Robbery of the World], which can turn all the power of the world’s robberies into a gesture of one’s own cultivation.”

Li Ping laughed coldly, “Nothing more than a shrunken head turtle. You want to borrow my power to cultivate? Then you will be satisfied!”

A dazzling golden aura that resembled a blazing flame erupted from the Saint Emperor’s body.

The light and fire was blazing, reflecting all of the space of the Duoyue Sect in a golden color.

The golden flames that seemed to have condensed into a substance, along with the remaining chains, were all poured into the paper man’s golden body.

Those who are not the main target of the Holy Emperor, just be affected by the many paper people, all issued by the fire roasted like the sound of heavenly wailing. Can imagine this golden body of paper people by the oppression of the strong. It looked distorted, as if it was going to be melted.

But that thick eyebrow paper person but still stood still, expression indifferent.

This scene caused Slate to be secretly shocked.

Although it was not possible to recognize their original appearance after transforming into a paper person. However, those who could remain calm and safe under such a mighty power of a Saint Emperor were not rare even among the original Duo Yu Sect in its heyday.

Slate was guessing the identity of the thick-browed paper man.

At the same time, the Faceless Saint Emperor did not alleviate his torture of the paper man of the Duo Er Sect.

The golden flames burned more and more vigorously, and although they didn’t completely incinerate the paper people, they slowly gilded them with a layer of indelible golden color.

Especially the thick-browed paper people, wrapped in the flames, their bodies’ golden light became more and more eye-catching.

“You guys want to avoid the world and hide from trouble, but I forbid it!”

“All of you are responsible for the danger of Xuan Huang’s revival!”

The Sacred Emperor’s voice was like thunder, and the source power essence violently erupted.

It shone into every corner of the space here, and its light was so brilliant that even the stone slabs couldn’t help but close their eyes to avoid it.

When the light receded, the darkness in the great hall of the Duoyue Sect subsided as much as it could.

The extremely uncomfortable shadowy aura was no longer there.

The paper people who had lost their chained restraints fell to the ground in a chaotic mess.

Compared to before, there seemed to be some more life.

And the leader of the thick eyebrows of the paper people, but also directly into a “small golden man”.

The golden man still had the same listless, downcast look, and he sighed: “Your Holiness wasting so much source power essence on these losers like us is really a waste!”

“It’s so uneconomical!”

Li Ping said in a deep voice, “If all things in the world were decided by pure reason, I’m afraid that the Xuanhuang Realm would have already perished! You would still be allowed to clamor here!”

Before the words fell, a big “X” suddenly appeared on the golden paper man’s face, blocking his mouth.

Immediately after that, the rest of the paper people did the same.

The original food market-like main hall of the Duo Er Sect suddenly quieted down.

“Fellow Daoist Yijie?” It was at this time that Slate looked at the golden paper man and asked tentatively.

The gold paper man could not speak, but only blinked at Slate.

It was not known whether it was an acknowledgement or a denial.

The two had no time to catch up, and the space here slowly became less stable after losing the support of the source essence.

“Let’s go out first.”

Li Ping brought along Slate, as well as a group of paper people who had lost themselves, and flashed to the outside of the Duoyue Sect.

This ancient Immortal Sect, which had been sealed and suppressed by the Transmission Law, also revealed its true appearance at this moment.

A book that unfolded from it.

There were no words in the book, only relief-like mountains and empty buildings.

As the book turned naturally, the appearance of the book changed.

However, they were all silhouettes, which looked funny and weird.

Li Ping’s giant hand held the Book of Transition, and the mountains and rivers within it were instantly colored with a layer of gold.

“Collect!”

The Holy Emperor gave a low shout, and the densely packed and stacked paper figures, including the thick-browed little golden man, all flew uncontrollably into the Book of Transition.

Bang!
Li Ping pressed his right hand and closed the book.

All the visions disappeared in an instant.

“It is not advisable to stay here for a long time. Although the means I used to crack the Transmission Law’s prohibition was very skillful, and I restored the prohibition while cracking it. However, there is no guarantee that the abnormalities here will not be discovered by the Transmission.”

“Follow me.”

Li Ping said in a deep voice, his figure had already disappeared into the sealed space here.

Slate followed the Sacred Emperor all the way through the Xuan Huang Realm spatial passage and arrived in an endless void.

With their speed, they all flew through the void for a while before sensing the aura of the world ahead.

“That’s ……”

Slate was slightly stunned.

“The One Beginning Sect’s Five Elements Cave? It’s actually here. Doesn’t it mean that the original Everlasting Habitat of the General Luck Cave Heaven ……”

Slate was still pondering, but Hundred Flowers had already greeted him.

After her eyes lingered on Slate for a moment, Hundred Flowers then transmitted something to Li Ping.

Li Ping nodded slightly. Then Hundred Flowers nodded towards the stone plate before flying back into the Five Elements Cave Heaven.

“Here, this is where I rest and recuperate. How do you think it is compared to the Xuan Huang Realm?” Li Ping brought the stone plate into the Great Enlightenment Small World.

With a sweep of his divine sense, a rough view of the small world appeared in Slate’s mind.

Even though there were some places that were covered by the mysterious power, he could not know them all. But just what was revealed on the surface left Slate greatly shaken.

Although the name of the Creation Slate that recorded everything under the sun was now a bit of a misnomer. But at least the things that happened in the state area of the Xuan Huang Realm initially, the stone board also knew everything.

However, compared to this Great Enlightenment Small World ……

It was like being hundreds of years and an era behind.

Among the various things, even the stone plate himself can not understand.

In addition, he also felt the aura of an old acquaintance here.

For example, the Earth Vein Ancient Tree, and that Imperial Beast Sect disciple.

After following all the way to the Holy Emperor’s Seat, Slate’s shocked emotions slowly calmed down somewhat.

“I have been carrying a stone plate for so many years, thinking that the world’s affairs are all in my mind. I do not want to see and hear today, only to realize that the things of the world have long been beyond my expectations ……” said the stone plate with some frustration.

“Taoist friend need not be frustrated. It is only right that things change rapidly from day to day. If the world remains stagnant for thousands of years ……”

“Doesn’t it appear that we are incompetent?” Li Ping smiled faintly.

Slate didn’t know how to respond for a moment and fell silent.

Since coming into contact with this “Heavenly Dao Incarnation”, the shock he had received was simply too great.

Compared to the scenes he had seen today, the Xuan Huang Realm in his mind was like a theater on a stage, a false image purely for him to see!

This made Slate vaguely become somewhat disoriented.

“I had known that the Five Elders Association, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and even the other supreme beings in the Xuan Huang Realm, whoever knew of the existence of this stone slab behind me. All of them would try to find ways to avoid the record of the stone slab. But how could I not have expected that the truth of the world had already developed to such a point ……”

Li Ping vaguely saw the inner thoughts of the stone board and slowly said, “Xuanhuang Realm, the last surviving place of the Sea of Dark Stars. The Xuanhuang Realm itself, the remnants of other worlds, the Star Sea survivors, are the forces beyond the high walls ……”

“All converge here. The complexity of its form, not to mention you, Fellow Daoist, even the Transmission of the Law, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao itself, can’t manage to know this place like the back of their hand.”

“Yes ……” Slate sighed and nodded.

He thought again of the fishing pond he had seen earlier.

How many more such hidden treasures were there in the Xuan Huang Realm?

He, the ancient remnant of the Xuan Huang Realm, now finally experienced a hint of what it was like to be out of touch with the times.

“Things are different, the stories are not.”

A long time ago, a scene from the initial Xuan Huang Realm surfaced in Slate’s mind, causing him to slightly freeze.

It was still the Holy Emperor’s voice that interrupted him.

“The fusion of the realms has been finalized. Between Transmission and I, there will be a battle. But no matter who wins or loses, it won’t change the fact that the Xuanhuang Realm is being reborn in the midst of disrepair.”

Li Ping did not mention helping Slate with the matter of mind overload, but suddenly said so.

Slate’s thoughts could not help but collect themselves and gazed intently at Li Ping.

“The key to the problem lies in where the new orthodoxy of the Xuan Huang Realm lies.”

“Do you know, Fellow Daoist, the bottom of the transmission method?”

Li Ping’s divine thoughts locked onto the stone slab and asked in a deep voice.

Slate pondered for a moment and replied, “Back then, when the transmission of the Law first became apparent, our Immortal Dao Ten Sect investigated it. This person is indeed a native cultivator of the Xuan Huang Realm. His life trajectory from childhood to adulthood is all clean and documented.”

“The name of the Chuanfa is Xuanyuan, Self Tuo. Since childhood, he lived in the countryside and rural areas, and because he was weak and sickly at a young age, he was given the nickname of Dog Egg by his parents.”

“Before this person was fifty years old, his life trajectory was no different from that of an ordinary farmer. It wasn’t until after the age of fifty-one that he suddenly became enlightened and rose to prominence.”

“Because of this, during the initial investigation by the Immortal Dao’s ten clans, they simply couldn’t find out this person’s origin. It’s because he did suddenly become a Daoist.”

Slate slowly narrated.

A scene from back then also appeared in the Holy Emperor’s Throne.

……

“Xuanyuan Tuo.” Li Ping watched as the somewhat naive and foolish teenager on the screen slowly turned into a silent middle-aged farmer, and then gradually changed into a gray-haired old man.

“It is indeed possible for mortals to become enlightened in a single moment. But it often occurs at a young age. Evolutions such as the transmission of the Dharma appear almost at the end of their great life ……”

“It is really puzzling and suspicious.” Li Ping commented.

Slate nodded, “When the ten clans first started, they also had such suspicions. However, we utilized our secret techniques and the Heavenly Dao imprinted, confirming that there was no seizing of the body and people from the outside world assuming his identity in his body.”

“But the transmission method, really mysterious and abnormal. Just like the innate knower, that year, the ten sects several elders attacked, surprisingly, also was he did not know what method to dissolve. Since then, he is completely beyond our control. Perhaps, at the time if the ten sects of the full force, the result may be different ……” said the stone plate some sighs.

In the great hall, it steeply quieted down.

After a long time.

Li Ping suddenly spoke out and asked, “What if the means by which the Heavenly Dao is imprinted …… on the other side to steal the identity transcends the Heavenly Dao?”

Slate froze in shock.

This sentence, at first glance, looked like an unreasonable statement.

But when Slate thought about it, it was precisely because the ten clans had too much faith in their own methods back then that it led to the conclusion that they had been convinced for thousands of years.

“Now that things have come to this, what is the use of pursuing the bottom of the transmission method?”

After a short period of loss, this thought surged in Slate’s heart.

With disbelief, he once again looked at the Holy Emperor.

The Sacred Emperor’s voice was thunderous, echoing within the great hall, “As I said before, the key to the newborn Xuan Huang Realm lies in the word orthodoxy.”

“It’s like a brand new body pieced together from severed limbs, it’s important who will be the brain.”

“Nowadays, the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao still considers itself the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao. But in a short while, perhaps it won’t be so ……”

Li Ping spoke in a ghostly tone.

Knowing that the other party was an incarnation of the Heavenly Dao and was not likely to speak without reason, Slate’s expression changed, “Fellow Daoist speak in detail.”

“The things you see on the slate, all can be placed outside, the perspective of outsiders to see. However, the world is fused, but the memory is like a personal experience, like real or phantom. After a long time, you will not be able to distinguish between the false and the real, and the outside of the self.”

“Especially ……”

Li Ping’s sight looked towards the Xuan Huang Benevolent Realm that was ten thousand miles away.

“As weak as this Tao is, the power to resist it is already minimal.”

“If one day, the remnants of the Heavenly Dao of all realms’ intentions, like a flood crashing down and coming in unison ……”

“I’m afraid that the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao wouldn’t be able to withstand it in the first place, going insane and losing its true self.”

Li Ping said with a bit of self-deprecation in his tone.

“After this, if someone is guiding and eroding the Heavenly Dao with a more complete idea of the Heavenly Dao, they will be able to steal the sky and change the orthodoxy of Xuan Huang. At that time, although it will still be called the Xuan Huang Realm, from the inside to the outside, it will no longer be the original Xuan Huang.”

Slate sniffed and fell into deep thought.

The object that the Holy Emperor was referring to in his words was obvious, it was the Transmission of Dharma.
