The whole world is cultivating qi, only I am cultivating the body

Zeng Wenyu stood there and kept guessing, but he still couldn't guess who Vairocana Tathagata was talking about. If one looks at it from the novel, those three are saints who can compete with Zhunti Taoist and Jie Yin Taoist. But if one looks at it from the Buddhist and Taoist scriptures... whether it is Buddha or the Three Pure Ones, their status in the scriptures is actually similar.

Zeng Wenyu couldn't figure out this kind of thing, but he also didn't know how the status of gods and Buddhas in this world was ranked, so he simply stopped guessing.

Vairocana Tathagata completely disappeared. Looking at the world in front of him that had turned back into the one where he couldn't tell what color it was, Zeng Wenyu changed direction and continued to move forward.

I didn't know how long I had been walking when I heard the sound of a cow mooing from a distance.

"There are animals here?" Zeng Wenyu had a strange expression on his face, because he remembered a god. "I just saw the Great Sun Tathagata, so I won't see the Supreme Lord Lao now, right?"

He moved forward in the direction of the cow's cry, and sure enough, he soon saw an old man riding a green cow in front of him. The old man had a Taoist look and he gently waved the whisk in his hand, and the strange creatures in front of him turned into ashes.

Unlike Vairocana Tathagata, He had already noticed Zeng Wenyu when he approached. He turned his head to look at Zeng Wenyu, patted the green ox's head, got off the ox's back, letting the green ox face the enemy on its belly, and He walked up to Zeng Wenyu step by step.

He bowed to Zeng Wenyu. Zeng Wenyu knew that this bow was not for him either. However, when Laojun was bowing, his body seemed to be controlled by something and he could not move at all. He could only stand there and accept Laojun's bow.

"God has mercy on me."

Another Heavenly Lord of Mercy? Zeng Wenyu's mind was spinning wildly. There were very few people who could be called Heavenly Lord by the Jade Emperor, but he couldn't figure out who this Heavenly Lord was.

Regarding this Heavenly Lord, Zeng Wenyu first ruled out Hongjun Taoist. Hongjun Taoist came from the mythological novel "Investiture of the Gods" and was a character in the novel. There was no such Taoist in Taoist scriptures. The name Hongjun should have been Hongjun, which means peace in the world.

However, he did not know much about Taoist scriptures. At most, he knew that among the Three Pure Ones, Yuanshi Tianzun was the most respected, Lingbao Tianzun was the second, and Daode Tianzun was the last. He knew that Hongjun was not in the Taoist scriptures because he had specifically looked it up when he was reading novels before.

"Laojun..."

"Laojun?" Zeng Wenyu hadn't finished his words yet, but the Taishang Laojun in front of him was stunned when he heard the name he was addressed to.

Seeing Taishang Laojun stunned for a moment, Zeng Wenyu was a little at a loss. However, Taishang Laojun in front of him was just stunned for a moment, then he calculated a few times with his hands, and seemed to have figured out something. He smiled gently at Zeng Wenyu: "I see, I know what you want to ask, and I also know the answer, but I can't tell you. I can only say that your worries are unnecessary and vain."

What is Zeng Wenyu worried about? Zeng Wenyu is worried about whether the phantom in his body will hurt the people around him. Of course, he is willing to believe the Taishang Laojun in front of him. Since Laojun said that his worry is unnecessary, it proves that what he is worried about will not happen.

"Moo..."

The green ox behind Taishang Laojun let out a long roar, and those strange creatures were shattered by the roar. After completing its task, the green ox slowly walked to Taishang Laojun. Laojun patted the green ox's back and sat on it.

"Meeting is fate. It is fate that you and I can meet here."

Taishang Laojun stretched out his hand and gently pointed at Zeng Wenyu. Zeng Wenyu felt a trace of energy emanating from Taishang Laojun's fingertips, and that energy entered his body without deviation.

Although it was just a tiny bit of energy to the Taishang Laojun in front of him, but for Zeng Wenyu, that tiny bit of energy was almost enough to burst his body. Fortunately, before his body was about to explode, a bit of cool energy flowed out of his Niwan Palace, and the energy that was about to burst his body began to become gentle and began to merge into his body.

Sitting cross-legged, Zeng Wenyu slowly absorbed the trace of energy given to him by Taishang Laojun. The blood in his body flowed rapidly, and the hematopoietic cells began to go crazy. More and more blood beads condensed from the heart. Those blood beads were blood red, but there were obvious patterns of black and white energy on them.

It took Zeng Wenyu an unknown amount of time to absorb just this trace of energy. He could feel that the blood in his body had been completely condensed, and all the blood beads turned back into blood water. However, the blood water in his body was different from before. It had completely reached the state of blood being like mercury, and the blood refining stage had already been completed.

He suddenly opened his eyes, and the scene in front of him was no longer the previous space. What caught his eye was the top of the tent, and behind him he felt a soft feeling. He shook his head and a scream came into his ears.

"Don't move!"

This was Zhang Qing's voice. During the time when Zeng Wenyu was asleep, Hua Wu Yue received a summons from the city lord and went to the city lord's mansion. Zeng Wenyu in the tent was left to Zhang Qing's care.

"How long have I slept?" Zeng Wenyu quickly stood up and asked Zhang Qing behind him.

"How long? About an hour, what's the matter?"

"Only one hour?"

"Yup!"

Zeng Wenyu couldn't believe that he had only slept for an hour. When he just woke up, he thought he just had a dream. But when he felt the mercury-like blood in his body, he was a little unconvinced.

"Has anything changed since I fell asleep just now?"

"Change? Does it count as the fact that your body was very hot for a few seconds before you woke up?"

Before waking up, he was practicing in his dream to completely condense the blood in his body. In other words, he was not dreaming just now, but really met Vairocana Tathagata and Taishang Laojun!

"So what is that place? Why can I encounter gods and Buddhas there? And what about the Heavenly Lord they mentioned..." Thinking of this, Zeng Wenyu turned his head and looked at Li Qi, "Li Qi, do you know what gods and Buddhas are revered in Tianyi Continent?"

Suddenly hearing Zeng Wenyu ask her this, Li Qi lowered her head and thought for a while before answering: "The Buddha's words are true. The Qi-refining monks of the Buddhist sect all respect the Buddha, but they themselves can't say which Buddha it is. As for other Qi-refining monks... there is no such thing as a god. They all worship the founders of various sects."

"There is Buddha but his name is unknown. Has Taoism been completely forgotten?"

"Taoism? The Taoism that was destroyed 3,700 years ago? Those can only be seen in the classics."

After hearing what Li Qi said, Zeng Wenyu finally understood why the world he had just visited in the dream was that color. This world had long since completely forgotten them. What's worse, the Taoists were destroyed. The world of Tianyi Continent might have changed a lot a long time ago.
