Humans in the primordial world, inscribing the Way of Heaven!

Chapter 11 [Mutual Reference, Life and Death as One]

Although the First Qilin wanted the Four-Faced Beast to make a righteous break with the Qilin clan, the Four-Faced Beast did not want to follow the First Qilin's wishes.

He is the young master of the Qilin clan, and naturally he should shoulder the future of the Qilin clan.

This is his pride!

Seeing this scene, Xuan Yin didn't know what to say. The father planned for the son, and the son planned for the father. If this were to spread, it would be a beautiful story.

But reality is cruel. Although the Four-Unlikes has the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, it is not able to shake the karmic obstacles accumulated by the Qilin clan!

Anyone can say nice things, but putting those words into practice is not an easy thing.

After thinking for a moment, Xuan Yin took out a Qilin horn that exuded Xuanhuang True Meaning from his sleeve. This was the Qilin Cliff that flew out of Qilin Cliff when he integrated Qilin Cliff into Qilin Blessed Land. The material was extraordinary. If more rare and precious materials were added during the refining process, it might be possible to refine a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure!
This time, he went to see Daoist Duobao to learn about the art of weapon crafting.

However, seeing the strange appearance of the Qilin, Xuan Yin still took the initiative to speak up: "This Qilin horn is the only part of Senior Shi Qilin's body that has not been corrupted by the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Fellow Daoist, you can keep it as a memento!"

"No need!"

Si Bu Xiang shook his head: "This is a deal between you and the Emperor. Fellow Daoist, you are valued by the Sage and can sign a Heavenly Dao Divine Contract with the Emperor. You must be a person of great fortune. I am just a little disappointed!"

Despite being burdened by karma, the Four-Faced Beast never complained. He simply felt that the First Qilin did not believe he could support the Qilin clan, and that he, as the young master of the Qilin clan, had never been recognized by the other party.

He took out a jade talisman and handed it to Xuan Yin: "This is my token. If you need anything, you can contact me through this jade talisman!"

After saying that, he left without looking back.

He stopped Xuan Yin not to cause trouble, but simply to clear up the doubts in his heart!
Xuan Yin didn't think much of it. He put away the Qilin horn and the jade talisman, then transformed into a streak of azure light and fled towards the cave of Daoist Duobao.

After leaving, the Four-Unlikes went directly to the Primordial Celestial Venerable and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty. The Four-Unlikes wishes to return to the Qilin Clan and will likely be unable to serve Your Majesty in the future. Please grant me permission!"

"allow!"

Yuanshi Tianzun did not refuse, his eyes flashing with endless cause and effect: "The course of heaven is constant, but some changes are also a good thing for the prehistoric world!"

In the eyes of the sage, the fate of the Four Unlikes is laid bare in the long river of time. But now, as the Four Unlikes decide to return to the ancestral land of the Qilin clan, their originally predetermined fate has undergone a slight change.

In his hand appeared a large, dark seal, solemn and ancient, surging with innate and indestructible spiritual light. It was none other than the top-grade innate spiritual treasure—the Qilin Seal!

"This Qilin Seal was a treasure that your father offered me when he asked for my protection! Now that you wish to return to the Qilin clan, I can no longer keep control of this Qilin Seal!"

"From this day forward, you are no longer my mount. When you are out in the world, you may consider yourself an outer disciple of the Chan Sect!"

"Go!"

As a spiritual treasure used by the original Qilin to suppress the fortune of the beast lineage, the Qilin Seal is extraordinary. It contains forty-eight innate restrictions, making it one of the top spiritual treasures below the innate treasures!

But in the eyes of a sage, even a top-grade innate spiritual treasure is only of some value!
The core concept of the Chan Sect is to explain the ultimate truth of the Heavenly Way. Now that the Heavenly Mandate has changed, the Primordial Celestial Venerable naturally does not mind exploring it.

He also wanted to see what the strange creature in front of him would become in the future.
"Thank you, teacher!"

Si Bu Xiang was overjoyed. He had thought that his actions would anger the sage, but to his surprise, the sage not only did not blame him, but also bestowed upon him the Qilin Seal and accepted him as a disciple of the Chan Sect.

A beam of divine light descended from the heavens, and in a short while, most of the karmic shackles on the Four-Faced Beast were severed.

As the celestial light descended, the Four-Faced Beast transformed from its original beast form into a primordial Dao body, with a wisp of Jade Purity Celestial Light flowing within the auspicious clouds above its head. Every action of the Sage was in harmony with the will of Heaven; his actions were naturally extraordinary. While the Primordial Celestial Venerable might not be able to retrieve the True Spirit of the Primordial Qilin from the depths of the Heavenly Dao's origin, severing some of the karmic shackles binding the Four-Faced Beast was still a simple matter, even at a cost!

"Disciple, thank you teacher!"

Upon seeing the four figures, their expressions grew even more respectful, and they bowed to the sage once more.

However, this time, the sage did not respond. He simply raised his hand and the four-legged creature was moved to the white jade square outside the Jade Void Palace.

After sending away the Four-Unlikes, the Primordial Celestial Venerable's gaze fell upon Shangqing Peak: "While a single variable is surprising, it cannot escape the constraints of the Heavenly Dao. Of the fifty Great Daos, forty-nine are the Heavenly Evolutions. If one escapes, is it truly possible to seize that sliver of hope?"

The way of the Chan sect lies in explaining the Heavenly Way of the Four Nines and replacing the Heavenly Way with one's own mind, while the way of the Jie sect lies in teaching without discrimination and seizing a sliver of hope. Perhaps in the eyes of those with limited knowledge, the two are irreconcilable, but just like Yin and Yang in the universe, while they are in opposition, they are also reference objects reflecting their own way.

Without understanding the principles of the Four Nine Heavens, how can one seize a sliver of hope? Without comprehending the profound mystery of that sliver of hope, how can one replace the original will of Heaven with one's own?
Therefore, although the paths of the two sages are completely different, they are fellow Daoists and thus formed the cause and effect of the Three Pure Ones as one before the beginning of time!

Meanwhile, Xuan Yin was consulting with Daoist Duobao about weapon crafting and thunder magic. He was unaware that his unintentional actions had caused the originally surging momentum of the Heavenly Dao to deviate slightly, and he was also unaware that the sage of the Chan Sect had cast a glance at him.

"Junior brother is truly blessed!"

Although it had been over a thousand years since they last met, and Xuan Yin was still at the Celestial Immortal realm, Duobao Daoren could see that his Dao fruit had undergone some qualitative changes.

Then, he looked at the Qilin horn that Xuan Yin had taken out and said with a smile, "Although I have a rudimentary understanding of weapon crafting, I can only craft mid-grade acquired spiritual treasures at present. Junior Brother, this Qilin horn of yours is of extraordinary material and has a natural Daoist charm. If you want to craft it into a magic weapon, it would be best to ask your teacher for help!"

Despite this, he did not hold back when Xuan Yin asked him questions. He even took out some of his own treasured natural materials suitable for weapon crafting and demonstrated the crafting techniques to Xuan Yin.

"Thank you, senior brother, for clarifying my doubts!"

Xuan Yin quickly bowed to him and then stepped forward to ask about the thunder magic.

He obtained the Taixiao Origin, and the Tongtian Sect Master then passed on to him a thunder magic power—Taixiao Divine Thunder!
After the last sermon, he had a basic grasp of it, but he knew that he had not yet fully comprehended the mysteries of the Supreme Thunder.

Upon hearing this, Daoist Duobao immediately laughed and said, "Junior brother, why don't you demonstrate first!"

Boom!

Without hesitation, Xuan Yin manifested the Tai Xiao Origin, brewing an ultimate intent of destruction, and directly unleashed several Tai Xiao Divine Lightning bolts powerful enough to shatter the void.

Seeing this, Duobao shook his head and said, "Thunder is the pivot of heaven and earth, the power of life and death. Although your thunder technique contains the might of heaven, it lacks a trace of vitality! You must know that life and death are one. If you cannot comprehend the vitality and creation contained in thunder technique, it will naturally be difficult to unleash the power of the Taixiao Divine Thunder!"

Having said that, Daoist Duobao had a thought and unleashed a Divine Firmament Thunder Technique. The intent of life and death rotated, and it actually evolved into a trace of the profound mystery of the Supreme Firmament Divine Thunder.

When he became an apprentice, he received the Divine Origin in the Yu Yu Heaven.

Shenxiao is the highest among the Nine Heavens, supreme and noble, with the ability to rule over the Nine Heavens, which complements the Daoist Duobao's cultivation.

"Yes!"

"Life and death are intertwined!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin suddenly realized something: "Isolated yang cannot produce life, isolated yin cannot grow, so how can thunder magic only pursue the ultimate destruction?"
