Chapter 888 The Renjiao Stele Reappears, Laozi is Overjoyed!
Alright, if that's the case...
Let's do as my second brother says and give it a try!
As soon as he finished speaking, the last trace of tranquility and inaction on Lao Tzu's calm and composed face shattered completely.
Instead, there was an unprecedented level of resolve.
The path has reached a dead end.
If we don't change, we're headed for death!
thief?
Shameless?
so what!
As long as the Renjiao sect can regain its former glory, as long as he, as the Supreme Elder, can regain his position as the senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect, what does it matter if he bears some infamy!
At this moment, Lao Tzu's resolve to follow the Tao was stronger than ever before!
"Good! Good! Good!"
Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's face erupted with uncontrollable ecstasy.
He said "good" three times in a row.
The reason why Yuanshi went to such lengths to persuade Laozi was because he wanted to do so.
Nature is not just about teaching people.
More importantly, if the Human Sect can regain its former glory, it would be a significant boost for the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
Meanwhile, Lao Tzu had already made his decision!
He said no more and took a deep breath.
Then, he suddenly waved his hand!
Om-!
In an instant, a mysterious and wondrous aura filled the entire Jade Void Palace.
In the void, an ancient stone tablet, its entire body a dark yellow color and of unknown material, slowly emerged.
The stone tablet is not decorated with many ornate carvings, but only with countless divine patterns of the Great Dao intertwined and entwined, outlining the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and evolving the mysteries of the birth and death of the universe.
Those divine runes are profound and obscure; even a saint would need to expend considerable effort to glimpse even a fraction of them.
At the very center of the stone tablet, four ancient divine characters exude supreme majesty, suppressing all ages and ruling over humanity!
Taiqing Human Religion!
This is the Human Religion Stele, a supreme treasure bestowed upon us by the Dao Ancestor Hongjun and recognized by the Heavenly Dao!
The appearance of this stele seemed to have stirred the entire fortune of Kunlun Mountain, making it more solid and profound.
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the stone tablet and his mind was shaken.
He could clearly sense that this Human Teaching Stele contained a powerful cause and effect that was connected to the entire human race!
Although this force of cause and effect has become extremely weak, almost non-existent, due to the independence of the human realm.
But it still exists!
As long as it exists, there is hope!
"Brother!"
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Laozi, his expression full of urging and expectation.
Lao Tzu nodded, his face solemn.
He extended his finger, and a drop of golden saint's blood was forced from his fingertip, slowly dripping onto the Human Religion Stele.
boom!
The moment the holy blood merged into the stone tablet, the entire Human Religion Stele trembled violently and emitted a thunderous roar that shook the very soul!
At this moment, the countless interwoven Daoist patterns on the monument seemed to come alive!
Beams of divine light shot into the sky, celestial clouds swirled, and auspicious colors stretched in thousands, illuminating the entire Jade Void Palace as if it were the chaotic scene of the beginning of the Great Dao!
"Second brother, help me!"
Laozi let out a low shout.
Without hesitation, Yuanshi Tianzun took a step forward and arrived at the other side of the Human Teaching Stele.
He also unleashed his own holy power, and streams of Jade Purity Immortal Light, containing the true meaning of the Chan Sect's "following the will of Heaven and responding to the people, elucidating the Great Dao," poured into the Human Sect Stele without reservation!
Rumble!
With the blessing of the two saints, the light of the Human Teaching Stele became even more dazzling, reaching the extreme of its divine power!
Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi exchanged a glance, then held nothing back.
The two sat cross-legged, their hands forming a mudra. The boundless power of the sages, like two vast celestial rivers, poured madly into the Human Teaching Stele!
The Way of Taiqing: Non-Action!
The Way that Yuqing elucidates!
Two forces of the orthodox Dao of the Xuanmen, which share the same origin but have different focuses, converge, collide, and merge within the Human Teaching Stele!
The entire stone tablet began to hum under the strain.
The four divine characters "Taiqing Renjiao" on it shone with unprecedented brilliance, almost piercing through the dome of Yuxu Palace!
Lao Tzu's face was extremely solemn.
His entire being was immersed in communicating with the Renjiao Stele.
He could sense that, driven by the combined power of the two of them, the primordial power deep within the Human Teaching Monument, which had been dormant for countless years, was being awakened little by little!
The causal thread that connects the fate of the entire human race is being forcibly lit up!
It's now!
Lao Tzu's heart stirred suddenly, and his divine sense followed the lit line of cause and effect, boldly probing towards the human world beyond the endless void, a world that had long since formed its own!
This is the first step in the theft!
Using the Human Education Monument as a bridge and the power of the sage as a guide, they forcibly linked the fate of the human race in the human realm!
however……
Just as Lao Tzu's divine thoughts were about to touch the barrier of the human realm!
boom!
In the darkness, a vast and unparalleled power seemed to arise out of nowhere.
That power was mysterious and elusive, but it seemed... to carry a will belonging to the human race.
Moreover, even under such immense power, Lao Tzu's incomparably strong will was forcibly blocked.
"Humph......"
Lao Tzu couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, revealing a hint of unconcealed pain.
"Brother!"
The Primordial Celestial Venerable was greatly alarmed and quickly withdrew his magical power, stepping forward to support Laozi.
Lao Tzu's face was filled with horror.
Failed!
The two saints joined forces and, with the help of the Heavenly Treasure, the Human Teaching Stele, they were even unable to break through the barrier of the human realm!
The force that rebounded was neither Nuwa's divine power nor Gu Changqing's power.
Rather, it is... the power of humanity formed by the collective will and power of countless human beings throughout the entire human realm!
The human world today is a monolithic entity, operating on its own in a self-sustaining cycle!
The fate of humanity belongs entirely to humanity itself!
Any external force that attempts to steal will be met with a relentless counterattack from the entire human will!
"how so……"
Yuanshi Tianzun also sensed that power and was completely stunned.
He had imagined countless possibilities, but he never expected that the human race would become so powerful!
Even a sage cannot shake it in the slightest!
Finished!
The last hope was shattered!
A deeper despair than before instantly enveloped the hearts of the two saints.
Inside the Jade Void Palace, the radiance faded, and the Human Teaching Stele returned to its ancient appearance, quietly floating in the air.
It was as if they were silently mocking their overestimation of their abilities.
Lao Tzu's face was drained of color, turning ashen.
He looked at the stone tablet, his heart filled with bitterness and self-mockery.
steal?
If you can't even get through the door, how can you steal anything?
ridiculous!
This is absolutely ridiculous!
He, Taiqing Laozi, the senior disciple of the Xuanmen sect, has actually fallen to such a state!
However, just as Lao Tzu was feeling utterly dejected and his Daoist heart was about to completely sink into despair.
The Renjiao Monument, which had been silently suspended, suddenly... trembled slightly.
hum.
A faint, almost inaudible buzzing sound.
Immediately afterwards, a wisp of primordial yellow energy, countless times thinner than a strand of hair and almost equivalent to "nothingness," appeared out of thin air on the stone tablet and then slowly merged into it.
This wisp of primordial energy was far too faint.
So faint that even the Primordial Celestial Venerable did not notice it.
But Lao Tzu, as the owner of the Human Teaching Monument, suddenly froze at that moment!
N-A-A
