Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 258 Identity
"Sir, this is too embarrassing!" said the old man, shaking his head.

He felt that Shi Fei was a little unwilling to listen to advice. But he also knew that reason could not make people listen to advice, only fists could make people listen to advice.

"It seems that you want to fight with swords after all!" the old man said again.

Shi Fei suddenly laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "One moment you talk about the Dao, the next you talk about the sword. If you want to discuss the Dao, then discuss the Dao; if you want to discuss the sword, then discuss the sword. Old man, you are too overbearing."

You say we should discuss the Dao, so we should discuss the Dao. You say we should discuss the sword, so we should discuss the sword?
You have the initiative, why?
"How can you be considered as overbearing if you are upholding the Way of Heaven?" The old man said solemnly, "On the contrary, it is you who are acting recklessly and destroying the Way of Heaven, and that is overbearing!"

"Heh..." Shi Fei just sneered: "Is it possible that this Heavenly Dao has not been updated for a long, long time and is very rigid."

The old man's face suddenly changed when he heard this, as if he had heard something extremely treasonous. He shouted, "Nonsense! There is nothing wrong with the way of heaven!"

If the way of heaven is wrong, doesn't that mean the Great Celestial Lord is not the rightful Lord of the Three Realms?

This is a mistake of principle!

Shi Fei didn't take it seriously and continued, "I heard that the Book of Life and Death existed a long, long time ago. Could the world back then be the same as the world today?"

The old man asked, “What’s the difference?”

In the eyes of the gods, the gods are the masters of the world. The gods have not changed, and the world remains the same.

"The world is changing, but the Book of Life and Death and the operation of heaven and earth remain unchanged. Isn't this like looking for fish in a tree?" Shi Fei finally said what he wanted to say: "It's like a ghost on the road to the underworld. If you die suddenly, you can't be reincarnated. Why is that?"

After a person dies suddenly, he or she becomes a wronged soul and cannot be reincarnated. Some of them can even seek revenge on living people and use them as scapegoats, which is very outrageous.

The reincarnation of the three realms seemed to Shi Fei like an outdated system. There were many bugs, but no one fixed them. It was just a mechanical execution.

Is there anything in the world that remains eternal and unchanging?

"God has his own destiny, so stop talking nonsense!" Seeing that Shi Fei's words were getting more and more outrageous, the old man's face became more gloomy and his voice became colder.

He felt that Shi Fei was so bold that he dared to interfere with the way things work!
The operation of heaven is governed by the Great Celestial Lord and the immortals in heaven. How could Shi Fei have any say in this?
Having said this, the old man knew that it was useless to continue talking. He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "Your Excellency, take care of yourself!"

After saying this, he waved his sleeves, and a white cloud suddenly rose from under his feet. The white cloud lifted his figure and slowly rose to the sky. The old man's figure gradually went farther and farther in the clouds, and finally turned into a golden light and disappeared into the sky.

Shi Fei just saw his figure flying into the sky, shook his head without saying a word, and continued walking towards the distance.

On the tree, Xiaotian Dog, who had transformed into a sparrow, witnessed all this and was secretly shocked. He had followed Yang Jian for many years and knew the majesty of the heaven and the inviolability of the way of heaven.

Even Yang Jian only complained in private and never spoke out directly like Shi Fei did, saying that the way of heaven was wrong in front of the messenger from heaven.

Is he too bold, or does he have something else to rely on?

The sparrow transformed by Roaring Sky Dog spread its wings and followed Shi Fei.

On the other side, Taibai Star Lord rode on auspicious clouds, passed through layers of fairy mist, and returned to heaven.

In the heavenly palace, immortal air lingers, rays of bright sunlight appear in the sky, the magnificent golden palace appears and disappears in the clouds, cranes dance gracefully among the clouds, and spiritual beasts stroll leisurely beside the Yaochi Lake.

The morning court session had already ended, and the immortal officials in the heavenly court had dispersed. Taibai Star Lord flew straight to the bedroom of the Great Celestial Lord.

The sleeping palace is located at the highest point of the heaven, surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds. The palace gate is carved from white jade and inlaid with countless sparkling gems, emitting a soft light.

In front of the bedroom, two fairy trees towered into the clouds, with branches and leaves full of crystal clear fairy fruits, emitting an alluring fragrance. Taibai Jinxing was the confidant of the Great Celestial Lord, so there was no need to inform him. He stepped into the bedroom and saw that the floor was paved with gold bricks, jade pillars were supported by the sky, and there were fairy silks hanging around, gently fluttering in the wind.

A huge night-shining pearl was inlaid on the top of the palace, emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire bedroom. In the center of the bedroom, a chessboard carved from ten-thousand-year-old cold jade was placed there, with black and white chess pieces interlaced on the chessboard, like the changes of yin and yang between heaven and earth.

The Great Heavenly Venerable was playing chess with the Jade Emperor, and both of them looked very focused.

Hearing Taibai Jinxing coming in, the Great Celestial Lord raised his head, smiled and said, "You came back so quickly! How was it? Did you try to find out the identity of that person?"

Taibai Jinxing didn't dare to hide it, so he told Shi Fei about his conversation.

Upon hearing this, the Great Celestial Master frowned slightly, and the chess piece in his hand stopped in mid-air. He said to Taibai Jinxing, "Thank you for your hard work! This guy is so arrogant!"

If it was a few hundred years ago, he would have been furious and sent soldiers to capture Shi Fei. But as the saying goes, once you teach someone, they will learn.

What if the heavenly soldiers and generals are defeated, what if that guy attacks the Lingxiao Palace again?
If a monkey in the Three Realms has such power, how much more so this mysterious man?
"I wonder if Laojun knows the origin of this person?" The Great Heavenly Venerable said to Taishang Laojun, who was wearing a plain white Taoist robe and holding a whisk.

He is already a mature Great Celestial Master, and it is not blind for him to look for someone to play chess with.

Taishang Laojun pinched his fingers in his sleeves for a long time, until his fingers were sore, but he still couldn't figure out who the person Taibai Jinxing was talking about was.

Although this body of his is just a clone of his original body, there are very few people who can escape his calculations.

So... he already knew the identity of that person.

The Supreme Lord smiled and said, "This person is not an ordinary person. When I came here, I saw that the Great Heavenly Venerable also sent someone to ask the Tathagata Buddha. Why don't we wait for the person to come back and verify it together?"

"Oh?" The Great Heavenly Venerable said with a smile, "Nothing can be hidden from you, Laojun!"

Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "It was just a chance encounter. It's time for the Great Heavenly Venerable to make his move."

Just now, the Great Celestial Venerable was about to make a move, but was interrupted by Taibai Jinxing and stopped.

After they made a few more moves, they saw Mo Liqing coming hurriedly, kneeling on one knee and presenting a piece of gold and silk.

"Your Majesty, I have brought back the Buddha's letter from the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Heaven."

Mo Liqing and his three brothers are not only the four guardians of the South Heaven Gate, but also the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism. It is very reasonable for him to ask.

Taibai Jinxing took the gold and silk from Mo Liqing and handed it to the Great Heavenly Venerable.

The Great Celestial Venerable took the gold and silk and said to the Supreme Lord Lao, "Laojun, how about we unfold them together?"

"That's exactly what I want!" said Taishang Laojun with a laugh.

Then the Great Heavenly Venerable opened the gold and silk, and the Jade Emperor stretched out his hand.

I saw the same four words on the palms of Jinbo and Taishang Laojun.

"Extraterritorial Demon!"
