The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

"It seems that in those small spiritual realms below, the inheritance of the true spirit has also declined, and you are just following the crowd and drifting with the tide!

The so-called senior is the name given to the ancient cultivators. The young people respectfully address the older and more experienced ancient cultivators. We in the True Spirit lineage do not use this term. Although your rank is far inferior to mine, we are all born and raised True Spirits. Our status is equal. You should address me as the Black Martial Dao Master!"

Unexpectedly, the head of the Black Tortoise, as big as a towering mountain, shook slightly after hearing this, and then sighed again.

As soon as the words were spoken, they became law, and the gratitude of heaven and earth caused weak water tides to rise in this space, and smoke and mist filled the air, and the void was frozen layer by layer.

Upon hearing this, Xuyang, Jinlong and Tianfeng breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, they were even more in awe of the magical powers of the living fossil in front of them. They quickly followed suit and bowed their heads again, calling him Taoist Master Xuanwu.

In the Dragon Island of the Xiaonan Continent Group and the 'Fuyao Realm' where the Heavenly Phoenix resides, there are records of the inheritance of the magical powers of the True Spirit Black Tortoise.

In particular, he has mastered the Weak Water Law naturally, which has a sixteen-character verse.

A mustard dust cannot be carried, and a wild goose feather sinks into the abyss.

Xuanming weeps dew, Taisu condenses smoke.

The sixteen characters correspond to the Eight Sufferings of Weak Water: drowning the soul, corroding the bones, freezing the consciousness, burying the spirit, cutting off the cause, eliminating the result, imprisoning time, and locking the void.

What this means is that any object or living thing, no matter if it is a fairy treasure or goose feathers, magic power or divine thoughts, once it sinks into it, it will no longer have any support or room to struggle, and it will fall as soon as it touches it!

There are three thousand weak waters and nine layers of heaven. It is easy to cross the nine layers of heaven, but difficult to swim in the weak water.

It is even more terrifying than the legendary 'Nine Netherworld'. If you fall into the Nine Netherworld, you still have a chance of reincarnation, but if you fall into the Weak Water, it will be completely over. Your body and soul will be completely destroyed, and even the cause and effect will be severed. Even the Great Luo Daozu will be unable to guess the whereabouts.

That is why the Weak Water Law is called the Nine Heavens Weak Water.

"You haven't answered my questions yet." Xuanwu's two huge pupils seemed to be able to see through everything, and he looked at Xuyang steadily.

"Master Xuanwu, it is often said that the name of Daluo Daozu resonates with the Dao of heaven and earth. If one does not have a power close to or equal to it, it will be sensed when one mentions it. Is it taboo here?"

Xuyang calmed himself down and looked around. He felt that in front of such a powerful person, it would be humiliating to behave in a contradictory manner and say one thing but mean another. Anyway, he was now deeply trapped in the world of the second-grade Xuanbao Yin-Yang Universe Mirror, so he might as well be honest with him and take a gamble on the other party's character. After all, up to now, although the other party was certain that the Palm of the Heaven Bottle was in Xuyang's hands, he did not make any move to break into the Mother Qi Cave Heaven to look for the Palm of the Heaven Bottle.

"Haha! You can talk as you please. Here, no matter it is the Lord of Heaven, the God of Ancient Dao, or the old blind man who is best at deduction, they cannot sense it." Xuanwu replied with some disdain and complacency.

"Um"

Xuyang pondered for a moment, his expression slowly turned serious, and he started to say something shocking: "Master Xuanwu, do you know if time and space are unique?"

As soon as these words came out, not only were the Golden Dragon and Phoenix on the side stunned, but even the Black Tortoise's expression changed slightly, putting away that casual and indifferent magical power, becoming serious, and responded in a deep voice:
“Of course, time and space are not the only ones. The Heaven-Handling Bottle can travel through time and space. Regarding this, in order to curb the number of Daluo Daozu who killed the Three Corpses, the three generations of Ancestral Dragons and the Xuanwu Ancestor of our clan have already tried many times!
Time and space are not inherent existences. Some "small splashes" and "small waves" in the long river of time can go back. These splashes and waves are changed, rising or smoothed, and the different endings they lead to are different parallel time and space!

But time flows like a rushing river, and the trend of never returning cannot be changed by any living creature or any magical power. These 'little splashes' and 'small waves' will eventually be re-swept away by the surging river and eliminated!
So after several attempts, the third generation of Ancestral Dragons and the Xuanwu Ancestor came to the conclusion: traveling through time and space may change individual creatures in a short period of time, but in the long run, it has no meaning!

Under the Heavenly Dao, the trend of the succession of eras cannot be changed or predicted. The fall of the first overlord of the ancient barbaric era, the Giant Ancestor, was destined. The same is true for our True Spirit Clan. It has been tens of millions of years since we were able to rise to the top and become the ruler of the world. It has been long enough! Now accepting the end of the moment! It is also in line with the rules of Heavenly Dao!
Although individuals of the True Spirit Clan like you and me are extremely powerful, our numbers are far too small compared to the Three Corpses. This is why I am hiding here and not going out!
Whatever you want to say, just say it! And don't worry that I will covet the Heavenly Bottle!

"Looking in the mirror, my face has changed; climbing the stairs, my strength has weakened. I am old now, and I am still weak in bowing! Although my original energy and blood are still vigorous, my soul has long been decayed and exhausted, and I no longer have ambitions!"

When Xuanwu looked at Xuyang, complex and indescribable emotions flashed across his eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts.

Xu Yang's tentative thoughts were exposed by this person, but he did not feel embarrassed at all, and continued to speak shockingly: "You are right, the blooming and falling of flowers is the rule of heaven to balance everything. Heaven has endowed all races with powerful reproductive abilities and pure and clear spirits, which are destined to overthrow the true spirit lineage and establish the heaven!

But the protagonist of this world is that you finish your performance and I take the stage, and no one can escape the fate of ending. Now the consequences of killing the three corpses can no longer be covered up!

There was such a person. He was already the leader of the Seven Lords of Heaven and the supreme ancestor of Tao who combined the law of time. However, he did not want to be assimilated and eroded by the laws of Heaven and end up in silence. He wanted to go one step further and use the Three Thousand Dao Gods Array to wipe out the will of Heaven, create the world and recreate chaos, then combine Tao and chaos to achieve eternal existence!

There was another person, the former owner of the Heavenly Palm Bottle, named Han Li. He was once one step away from integrating the Law of Time, but like other creatures who challenged the Dao of Time, he failed! But Han Li was unwilling to accept his failure!

As you said, in the long span of time, the process of the rise and fall of a "small wave" in the long river of time is a parallel time and space. He sacrificed all his time laws, traveled back tens of millions of years, and began to practice another so-called supreme law - the law of reincarnation, and founded the current Samsara Palace!

But he was a little more petty. After failing once in the He Dao, he had become timid and did not want to take any more risks to make progress. He did not even dare to He Dao the law of reincarnation. He just tried his best to connect with more Daluo Daozu in private, trying to stop the ambition of the Supreme Daozu so that he could survive and continue to linger on, dragging on without making any progress or retreat.

And I am unwilling to become a victim of the fight between these two sides. Once the two sides reveal their true intentions, all the Daluo Daozu under the Three Thousand Great Daos will not be able to escape unscathed, and the whole world will be destroyed.

If I were to roam freely in the underworld, and wait for the final moment to come, I would only be able to struggle desperately like a tiny speck of dust. I cannot accept such an ending. The Heaven-holding Bottle is indeed in my hands now, and I also want to use it to become the chess player. Even if I am powerless to save the situation in the end, I must protect my relatives and friends as much as possible!
This! This is the purpose of my coming to the True Immortal Realm!"

Xuanwu was silent for a long time before saying:
"The first person you mentioned is the corpse of the Ancient Dao God, right? In fact, when this fairyland was still called the Great Northern Dipper Fairyland, the Ancient Dao God, as the supreme master of the previous generation of the fairyland, had actually used the 'Three Thousand Dao Gods Formation' once. At that time, I briefly sensed the vibration of the origin of the Heavenly Dao, but the result was obvious. The Ancient Dao God failed, and his corpse took advantage of the opportunity and deprived him of his physical body.

As for the Hall of Samsara, it should be a force that has only risen recently. Over the years, when I occasionally covered the nearby sea area with my divine consciousness, I often heard them mentioned by the immortals passing by. As for the hall master Han Li behind him, I have seen too many Daluo who failed to achieve the Dao, so I have never really paid attention to the Hall of Samsara before.

"Hmm. But there is one thing I am very curious about. As a True Dragon who has just ascended to heaven, how do you know these future events? Did you also use the Heaven-Holding Bottle to travel back from the future? As far as I know, the previous owner of the Heaven-Holding Bottle was the playboy Li Yuanjiu. He is considered one of the few neutral and friendly people in the Heavenly Court. I have had many interactions with him and can barely be called a Taoist friend. You... your soul is as strong as a newborn tree. You don't look like a reincarnated cultivator!"

At this point, some doubt appeared in Xuanwu's two huge pupils, and the cloud patterns on the several tortoise shells on his body began to intertwine and entwine, as if deducing the cause and effect of Xuyang.

But as soon as this action began, Xuanwu immediately stopped and looked at Xuyang in surprise.

"There are more than hundreds of millions of practitioners who have achieved success in the way of deduction in the immortal world from ancient times to the present, but the only one who dares to say that he is better than me is the old blind man who has mastered the law of prophecy. In this world, apart from chaos, is there anything I can't calculate? I am not weaker than the old blind man. He can only calculate the 108 hexagrams of heaven and earth, but I can calculate one hexagram for every piece of tortoise shell!"

Because he sensed that if he continued to deduced further, there would be a very serious backlash from the Heavenly Dao!

Just like Xuyang was afraid that Xuanwu would have other thoughts and come to snatch the Zhantian Bottle, Xuanwu also had doubts about Xuyang's origins. After all, Xuyang selectively told part of the truth, and there were quite a few unclear points in his words.

Xuanwu possesses several great supernatural powers. He is the true spirit of a tortoise and snake, and the incarnation of the four constellations above the nine heavens. He is also born with the ability to master the two great laws of Qiankun and Ruoshui. He can consult the underworld and see through people's hearts. His power is even more miraculous than Tianfeng's supernatural power of communicating with the Jade Phoenix. In the face of such a god-like existence, any clever words are useless.

Hearing this, the Golden Dragon and the Heavenly Phoenix also looked closely at Xuyang. They were also very curious about this because Xuyang had been trying their best to avoid talking about this. The reason why they believed in Xuyang and were willing to ascend together was purely because of the instinctive magic of the true spirit and they did not sense any malicious intent.

Xu Yang noticed the gaze of the Golden Dragon and the Phoenix, and smiled at them lightly, saying: "We avoided talking about it in the lower realm because we were afraid of the induction of certain powerful beings. If we don't keep things secret, we will lose our lives. If we say more taboo words, it will only harm our lives! Now that we have come to this place where causes are cut off, results are eliminated, time is imprisoned, and space is locked, there is nothing to be afraid of, and there is nothing we can't say!"

Xuyang smiled strangely at Xuanwu's head again, and then looked at the countless tortoise shells on his body. When Xuanwu understood, a cloud-patterned net that covered the sky and the sun rose from its tortoise shell, tightly covering the four of them. Xuyang slowly lowered his eyes and told the earth-shattering secret:
"I came from chaos!"

As soon as he finished speaking, even with the cover and seal of Xuanwu, there were still inexplicable thunder sounds within tens of thousands of feet around Xuyang.

In the silence, Xuanwu's expression became extremely surprised.

"Huh? No wonder I can't calculate, it's really chaos?"
