Zongman: Is this how it’s sewn?

Chapter 357 353. Transcendence Assessment, Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea

Xu Zhenqing remained silent. If he refused, it would seem ungrateful. He didn't know what the Taoist Master wanted, although he had some guesses.

Among the two transcendent beings, Buddha and Daozun, only one of them truly jumped out of the other shore and achieved the Dao Fruit. Daozun is truly transcendent, while Buddha is actually only half transcendent.

The Buddha got the Jianmu Fruit by chance after the great battle in Heaven, but he only reached a semi-transcendent state through the Jianmu Fruit. He then came to extort and rob a few reincarnations.

Now even he himself has taken a fancy to her, how can this be good?

Xu Zhenqing thought to himself that if he called Gaia over and took advantage of the situation, even the Taoist Master would not be able to gain any benefit, so he naturally would not be too accommodating.

"Could you please allow me to think it over? This happened so suddenly." Xu Zhenqing stood leisurely in another world, his hands clasped behind his back. His murderous intent was restrained as he gazed at Dao Zun calmly across the endless void. He said calmly, "He was the one who committed the crime first. So why shouldn't I be allowed to fight back?"

"Those on the other side are incorruptible and immortal. It's just a matter of observing. It won't hurt Meng Tianzun." Xu Zhenqing spoke without thinking, completely forgetting his method of "observation is interference".

It is true that the other side will still be affected by some cause and effect and other things, but Xu Zhenqing's status is different. He transcends everything, including cause and effect, life and death, reincarnation, time and space. Therefore, many people on the other side, including Meng Qi, want to transcend and be free from constraints.

To put it simply, Meng Qi is still within the Tao, but he has surpassed the Tao and reached a transcendent state.

For ordinary people, it is wrong to think about this state, and it is absurd to talk about it. Only by becoming detached can one have the ability to see things equally.

Xu Zhenqing lived in the former wizard world. The boundless water seemed illusory and superimposed with the universe. There were sparkling stars in it, like crystal waves. If you got closer, you would find that they were all stars, some huge, some huge, of different sizes and colors.

As the former base camp, although it has been destroyed by strange creatures and turned into a chaotic universe, the traces he left behind will not disappear.

The Taoist priest stroked his beard, sitting high above the other heavens and myriad worlds, sitting cross-legged on it, wearing an ancient Taoist robe and an ancient crown on his head. "Since that's the case, I can't force you. If you change your mind, you might as well go to my Zixiao Palace and sit there."

"He is indeed a ruthless character who can kill himself." Xu Zhenqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the Taoist Master disappear, and secretly praised him in his heart.

Dao Zun and the Three Pure Ones have different means of transcendence.

Dao Zun cuts off a part of himself to replace himself. The advantage is that it is already a part of himself, so it is easier to replace himself in the long river of history.

The disadvantage is that there are stricter requirements for the part of reducing and seeking emptiness, which requires taking on His cause and effect. The origin is still connected with Him in the dark, so all of it needs to disappear to be considered transcendent.

The Three Pure Ones themselves have nothing to do with Meng Qi. Meng Qi is the fish of the Demon Buddha and is just bearing the cause and effect of the Three Pure Ones.

The method of the Three Pure Ones was improved on the basis of that of the Taoist Master. Xu Zhenqing was skeptical about "no connection at all", as there is no such thing as no connection between the world.

The Three Pure Ones never appeared from beginning to end. Xu Zhenqing guessed that they were in a state of transcendence, higher than the Buddha, but not as active as the Buddha, and needed to wait for Meng Qi to transcend.

The Sanqing let Mengqi, who had nothing to do with them, replace themselves. The disadvantage was that it was more difficult to synchronize with the historical imprint of the Sanqing. Mengqi was qualified only after he ate the Holy Buddha, the Demon Buddha and the Medicine Buddha and reached the ancient other shore.

The advantage is that Mengqi can "transcend" immediately after reaching the Ancient One, and there is no need for Mengqi's remnants to come ashore.

Simply put, the Buddha has already retaken the exam, while the Three Pure Ones are currently awaiting grading. A bug has been discovered in the grading process, which has tied "Meng Qi can transcend" as the answer. Therefore, the Buddha and the demons have captured the reincarnated beings as their own fish, and the beings in the outer heavens have absolutely no connection to them, making the possibility of a retake very high.

But Sanqing was stuck and couldn't even retake the exam.

"Anyway, Daoguo is wrong as soon as he thinks about it. Meng Qi's idea is already wrong." Xu Zhenqing insisted on his opinion.

As for whether Meng Qi suddenly transcended, that was basically impossible, because the karma he was carrying included repaying the Golden Emperor for helping him achieve enlightenment, and the Golden Emperor was dead, so he could not repay the cause. This karma could only be resolved by suffering at least one doomsday catastrophe.

Meng Qi is like someone who missed an exam. The result of this exam is no longer important, so he can just wait for the next one. Therefore, all the powerful people on the other side need to win him over and ask him to help them "do the exam".

This exam also requires an admission ticket, which means you need to have the cultivation of the other side. Only when you enter the examination room can you help others with the questions.

The end of the era is the end of the exam. Those who did not answer the questions have a chance to retake the exam, but those who answered the questions can only hope for the best. If they fail, they will be completely wiped out.

Moreover, this last question is also an answer question: Those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die. Dao Zun left a transcendent answer, but it only applies to Dao Zun alone.

The Buddha copied everything exactly, and everything went smoothly. There may have been no problems in the first part, but they stepped on shit at the last step, and all their efforts were in vain. It was only with the Buddha as an example that the Three Pure Ones changed their approach.

It is possible that the Three Pure Ones could have achieved transcendence earlier than the Buddha, but they felt unsure and did not take any action, waiting for the Buddha to be caught in the trap. They just didn't expect that there would be a real review.

As for why the Buddha was able to retake the exam, on the one hand, the exam had not yet ended, and on the other hand, it was not yet the end of the era and the results had not yet been announced.

The transcendence of the Supreme Being is similar to that of the Sacrifice Dao, for example, both have the requirement of "regular performance", which means that one must start with the Sacrifice Dao.

As for why the strange ancestor did not transcend, it was simply because he submitted a similar paper. They should ask themselves, was their sacrificial realm achieved through cultivation step by step?

However, Xu Zhenqing took another path in his previous life, impersonating someone else. In the end, he found that the review was too strict and they required to check his ID card (real name), which caught Xu Zhenqing out.

Xu Zhenqing naturally could not let the other party check his ID card. Anyway, according to the procedure, the patient had passed the exam and was qualified to go ashore.

So Xu Zhenqing simply took the exam again, but he was still using the patient's account. The owner of the account happened to not want to play anymore, so he didn't change the password.

In addition, there is the first transcendence in the Xiu Liao world. Xu Zhenqing thought to himself that the other party might have submitted a "special" answer sheet. Due to the Schrödinger state, he had to reduce his presence to avoid being audited and observed.

Xu Zhenqing couldn't help but sigh, it was really like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers, and even if they traveled through time, they couldn't escape the "exam". Thinking of Gaia, he pondered: "I wonder what the 'exam' on the Supreme Earth is like. It seems that Gaia is under a lot of pressure."

"Perhaps these first-transcendent 'diseases' are exam syndrome?"

After shaking his head for a while, Xu Zhenqing put the matter behind him. These things were still too far away from him.
