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

Chapter 19 [Extraterrestrial Cause and Effect, Refining the False into the Real]

Upon hearing this, Wuzhiqi felt an overwhelming surge of ambition. If he could refine the water veins of the Three Realms, he might be able to rival Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortals!
Previously, it would have been extremely difficult for him to control the water veins. The dragon clan, which controlled all the water veins in the world, would not have allowed him to monopolize the fortune of the Water Element Great Dao.

But now, as the Water Official Emperor appointed by the Heavenly Court, he is in charge of managing the Water Element Great Dao of the Three Realms, and it is perfectly legitimate for him to refine the water veins of the Three Realms!
So, after giving instructions to Xuan Yin, he went into seclusion to prepare to refine the water veins of the four continents, using the Huai River basin as a base!

As for the duties of the Water Official Emperor and the management of the Huai River Water Palace, they were entrusted to Xuan Yin. Xuan Yin began to recruit a large number of demons in the name of Wu Zhiqi to strengthen the power of the Huai River Water Palace.

Wuzhiqi's reputation is still quite high, especially after that earth-shattering battle, which attracted countless demon cultivators to join him.

Among them are some powerful demons that appeared in Journey to the West, such as the Bull Demon King, the Flood Dragon Demon King, the Yu Rong King, and the Macaque King, who are quite famous demon kings.

The demon race admires strength, and with Wuzhiqi's reputation, there was no shortage of powerful demons coming to join them.

However, looking at each of the powerful demons with distinct personalities, Xuan Yin couldn't help but frown and begin to doubt the reality of this world!

Long ago, Xuan Yin pondered whether this world was real or an illusion.
If it is true, then why is he unable to use the power of the Dao Fruit?
If it is illusory, then do all the beings in the three realms, each with their own thoughts, know that the world they live in is illusory?

"I really can't tell the difference!"

Xuan Yin shook his head, his expression extremely pained, and a golden light suddenly shot out from his eyes, as if he wanted to see through the boundary between reality and illusion.

But they gained nothing!
After a long while, he sighed softly, "My current strength is far from reaching the limit of this realm, so naturally I cannot see through illusions!"

His intuition told him that this world was an illusion, yet the vibrant creatures seemed to constantly contradict his assumptions.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Wuzhuang Temple.

When Xuan Yin was cultivating the Great Dao of Earthly Immortals, he formed a karmic bond with Zhen Yuanzi, who even took the initiative to invite Xuan Yin to visit Wuzhuang Temple sometime in the future.

In the Primordial Realm, his cultivation level was insufficient for him to travel far, but in this world, going to Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Mountain was not a difficult task!
"who?"

As soon as Xuan Yin's escape light landed outside Wuzhuang Temple, two young Taoist boys stopped him.

Upon seeing the two young Taoist disciples before him, Xuan Yin quickly bowed and said, "I am Gu Yue Fang Yuan, and I have come here to pay my respects to the Great Immortal Zhen Yuan!"

As he spoke, he revealed the aura of someone who had cultivated the Great Dao of Earth Immortals: "Speaking of which, I am also considered half a disciple of the Great Immortal Zhenyuan!"

In the Three Realms, all beings who cultivate the Great Dao of Earthly Immortals revere Zhenyuan Daxian as their ancestor, so there is absolutely no problem with what he said.

Seeing this, Qingfeng frowned slightly: "You wait here, I'll go and inform the teacher!"

Mingyue looked at him strangely and said, "Although our teacher is generous in imparting the Great Dao of Earth Immortals, and countless rogue immortals have emerged from his disciples, there are only forty-eight people with the title of master and disciple, including myself and Senior Brother Qingfeng. When did you, monkey, learn the methods of Earth Immortals?"

"I do not know either!"

Xuan Yin shook his head and said, "I reckon it should be at least several hundred Yuanhui, right?"

Mingyue's face immediately showed shock: "Hundreds of Yuanhui? How is that possible?"

"I would never lie!"

Xuan Yin smiled slightly, stood outside the gate of Wuzhuang Temple, silently observing everything around him, and answered Mingyue's questions whenever she asked.

If this were Journey to the West, he wouldn't be lying. Although he couldn't see the future, there were at least several hundred years between the Lich King era and the Journey to the West era.

"Go and invite him in!"

Zhenyuan Daxian, possessing profound magical power, naturally noticed everything outside the door: "How strange! I have never seen this monkey before, yet why is there a karmic connection between him and me?" Soon, Xuan Yin met Zhenyuan Daxian: "Junior Xuan Yin greets Zhenyuan Daxian!"

Zhen Yuanzi's fingertips twitched slightly as he carefully calculated: "Xuan Yin? Could it be the Ancient Moon Ape?"

Xuan Yin nodded, then shook his head and said, "Within this realm, there is the Ancient Moon Ape, but outside this realm, there is Xuan Yin, a disciple of the Jie Sect!"

"Within the boundary? Outside the boundary?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi's face showed doubt, but not much surprise: "Truth and falsehood are intertwined, and the truth may be false while the falsehood is true! The Great Dao is boundless, and it seems there are still many things in this world that I, a humble Daoist, do not know! I wonder if you have come to my Wuzhuang Temple with any important business?"

"Nothing urgent!"

Xuan Yin shook his head: "Outside this realm, Senior Zhen Yuanzi once invited me to Wuzhuang Temple, but I am currently in this realm and cannot keep the appointment. I can only come here to see another senior!"

Although he only exchanged a few words with Zhen Yuanzi after entering Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi's behavior had already confirmed some of his guesses.

This world is an illusion!
Otherwise, why wouldn't Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of earth immortals whose name is eternally imprinted across endless time and space, remember the invitation he once received?

Zhen Yuanzi said calmly, "The world is as vast as the sands of the Ganges, with countless beings. It's truly interesting. If possible, I would really like to meet another version of myself!"

He pointed to the pond in Wuzhuang Temple, looked at the reflection on the water, and laughed: "This reflection in the water may seem illusory, but since it exists, it means that our world is not unique! Truth and falsehood are intertwined, and some things are not actually that important!"

"You're quite magnanimous, senior!"

Xuan Yin nodded, revealing his Celestial Immortal Dao Fruit: "My world, in terms of origin, can be said to be ten thousand times larger than this world, and is called the Primordial True World. But no matter which world it is, Senior Zhen Yuanzi is one of the most carefree and magnanimous people in the world!"

Although he was certain that this world was an illusion, he couldn't help but admire Zhenyuan Daxian. No matter which world Zhenyuan Daxian was from, he could be described as...unbound by material things, unfettered by the mind, and unconfused by the Dao!
At this moment, although Xuan Yin could not use the power of the Heavenly Immortal Dao Fruit, he could still manifest the Dao Fruit and let Zhenyuan Daxian observe its mysteries.

"This……"

Zhen Yuanzi gazed at the Dao Fruit before him, becoming completely absorbed in it. In any world, he was one of the strongest individuals below the level of a sage, and his understanding of the Great Dao was unparalleled.

He glimpsed another path from Xuan Yin's Dao Fruit, and within this great path, some parts were extremely similar to his own Earth Immortal Dao.

"Time and space..."

After a long silence, Zhen Yuanzi let out a long sigh: "So, in your eyes, my existence is just an illusion?"

Xuan Yin also cultivated the Earth Immortal Path, but the Earth Immortal Path that Xuan Yin cultivated had the concept of all the heavens and myriad worlds added to it compared to the Earth Immortal Path that Xuan Yin cultivated.

With Zhen Yuanzi's keen eyesight, it was not difficult for him to see the mystery within. And through these mysteries, he could naturally understand that his own existence was just a dream, an illusion, like a reflection in water.

Boom!

When Zhen Yuanzi began to question this world, the Three Realms and Six Paths were shaken, just like ripples in Zhen Yuanzi's heart.

Seeing this, Xuan Yin immediately pressed his advantage, saying, "Just as you said, senior, what is true may be false, and what is false may be true. Have you ever thought about turning the false into the true?"

Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi immediately became interested: "May I ask, fellow Daoist, how does one refine an imposter into a real one?"

If he could, he naturally wouldn't want to. As a mere illusion, he even wished to meet the real Zhen Yuanzi.
