All realms have enabled me to achieve the Great Dao.

Chapter 258 The miserable mandarin duck

Inside the bamboo house, Zhou Yongcheng was looking at a celestial book.

The first sentence of the Heavenly Book is "Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things as straw dogs." This sentence explains that all things and people are equal before Heaven, Earth, and the Dao.

In the real world, Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching has a next line: "The sage is not benevolent; he treats the people like straw dogs."

The Dao, Heaven and Earth, sages, and all things under Heaven exist equally before them, without distinction of rank or quality, good or bad.

However, the Dao is the rule, and Heaven and Earth encompass all things. Sages who have severed their seven emotions and six desires have become part of the rule and Heaven and Earth.

They are devoid of emotion, allowing all things in the world to evolve freely, whether the world is destroyed or a race is wiped out, they simply watch quietly.

But all things have spirits, emotions, and desires. Can they be like the Tao, Heaven and Earth, or sages? Certainly not.

Even the saints of the primordial world couldn't do it well, because they also have emotions and desires, and it's impossible for them to just watch the world and all things evolve freely. Even if Hongjun became the spokesperson of the Heavenly Dao, he still couldn't do it. He still had to consider himself and how to transcend the primordial universe.

After Zhou Yongcheng finished reading the nine volumes of the Heavenly Book, which expounded the essence of various paths, those who cultivated immortality saw the path of immortality when they comprehended the Heavenly Book, those who cultivated demonic ways saw the path of demonic ways, and those who cultivated Buddhism saw the path of Buddhism.

However, this is not absolute. Some people may cultivate demonic arts, but they may actually see the path of immortals or the path of Buddhas.

What you see is also determined by your heart.

As the opening of the Heavenly Book says, Heaven and Earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs. If you can view all living beings like Heaven and Earth, then you will see the Great Dao.

But can a human do that? It's difficult, very difficult, very difficult.

Even if Zhou Yongcheng reaches a certain level, as long as he doesn't sever his seven emotions and six desires and transform them into the Dao, he still won't be able to view all living beings like heaven and earth.

Zhou Yongcheng casually placed the celestial book on the table and looked across the land. He saw two foxes scurrying around, trying to escape their pursuers.

This is yet another ill-fated couple.

Zhou Yongcheng couldn't bear to see such a separation of life and death, and with a thought, two foxes appeared in the bamboo house.

The two foxes were extremely nervous. They looked around the bamboo house and saw Zhou Yongcheng sitting on a bamboo chair. They knew that this senior had used his supernatural powers to bring them here.

"Junior Liu greets senior."

"Senior, I...I...I don't have a name yet."

Xiao Liu is already seriously injured, and if nothing unexpected happens, he doesn't have many years left to live.

Zhou Yongcheng looked the two foxes over and said with a smile, "Since you don't have a sentence, you'll be called Xiao Lan from now on. You'll live here from now on and don't try to transform into humans."

"Yes, senior."

Both foxes have excellent bloodlines, belonging to the Celestial Fox clan, which is extremely rare.

With a flick of his finger, Zhou Yongcheng completely healed Xiao Liu's injuries.

Xiao Liu was shocked to find that his body had fully recovered. No cultivator in the world could do such a thing.

Xiao Liu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Zhou Yongcheng to express his gratitude.

"Your mother is still trapped in Burning Incense Valley. Focus on your cultivation and rescue her once you have achieved success."

Xiao Liu was even more shocked upon hearing this. He hadn't expected his mother to still be alive, and he kept kowtowing to Zhou Yongcheng in gratitude.

The bamboo house in Zhou Yongcheng is rich in spiritual energy, making it a treasure land for cultivation. People who cultivate here grow very quickly.

Zhou Yongcheng waved his hand, telling them to find a place to cultivate on their own, and then ignored them.

Zhou Yongcheng picked up his teacup, took a sip of tea, and lay down casually. His eyes were slightly closed, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Xiao Liu and Xiao Lan carefully walked to a corner of the bamboo building, lay down, and began to cultivate.

Inside the cultivation room on Dazhu Peak, Zhang Xiaofan was studying the Heavenly Book in his mind. He felt that the Qingyun Sect's cultivation technique and the technique given to him by the monk were somewhat similar to the Heavenly Book.

As his understanding deepened, he suddenly realized that the Qingyun Sect's cultivation method he was practicing was quite simple, and the method given by that monk was also similar, and that the method had its shortcomings.

That day, Zhang Xiaofan arrived at the bamboo house, and as soon as he entered, he saw two foxes.

"Senior, you have foxes here too. They're so pretty!"

The fox was pure white and looked quite beautiful.

Xiao Liu and Xiao Lan glanced at Zhang Xiaofan, ignored him, and continued their cultivation.

Zhou Yongcheng looked Zhang Xiaofan up and down. Not bad, he had embarked on a completely new path.

Seeing that the two foxes ignored him, Zhang Xiaofan was a little annoyed and walked over to Zhou Yongcheng.

"Senior, is there something wrong with my cultivation? I feel that the true energy in my body is different from before," Zhang Xiaofan asked.

Zhou Yongcheng said with a smile, "Don't worry, it's a normal change. Just cultivate according to the feeling you had when you were comprehending the Heavenly Book."

Zhang Xiaofan was relieved and then asked, "Senior, after I comprehended the Heavenly Book, I feel that there are some problems with the cultivation methods of our Qingyun Sect. Should I tell my master and the others?"

Zhou Yongcheng shook his head. This little guy was really innocent and naive. He said, "Don't tell them for now. You're still young and don't know how wicked people can be. You'll understand when you grow up."

"Okay senior."

Zhou Yongcheng waved his hand at Zhang Xiaofan, and the Bloodthirsty Bead on his body appeared in his hand. The Bloodthirsty Bead was sealed by Puzhi of Tianyin Temple with Buddhist power.

Although sealed, Puzhi's strength was still insufficient, and the seal was not completely completed.

Zhou Yongcheng modified the Bloodthirsty Bead and then gave it to Zhang Xiaofan.

"The cultivation method you comprehended from the Heavenly Book is a completely new cultivation method, which is suitable for you. It allows you to absorb various kinds of energy for cultivation, whether it is primordial energy, evil energy, demonic energy or other energies. You can absorb and refine them. This bead contains a large amount of evil power. When you cultivate, holding it in your hand can accelerate your cultivation."

Zhang Xiaofan was overjoyed to hear this, never expecting that the bead he hadn't been willing to throw away would have such a use.

"Thank you, senior."

Zhang Xiaofan happily left the bamboo house with the bead, not forgetting to say goodbye to the two foxes as he left.

Several years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Although Tian Buyi didn't pay much attention to Zhang Xiaofan and had only taught him two levels of cultivation techniques over the years, Zhang Xiaofan's cultivation level had far surpassed that of the younger generation thanks to the cultivation techniques he had comprehended from the Heavenly Book and the blessing of the Bloodthirsty Pearl.

Under Zhou Yongcheng's tutelage, Zhang Xiaofan learned how to conceal his abilities and avoid the limelight. However, this did not mean he would not take action. In recent days, members of the Blood Refining Hall had been searching for the Blood Devouring Pearl. They found Zhang Xiaofan based on the pearl's aura. Some of the weaker cultivators were killed by Zhang Xiaofan, while the stronger ones were dealt with by Xiao Liu.

After spending several years together, Zhang Xiaofan and Xiao Liu and Xiao Lan have become good friends and can talk about anything.

Some time ago, when Zhang Xiaofan and Tian Ling'er went out to travel, Zhang Xiaofan met Biyao. Although it wasn't love at first sight, they left a deep impression on each other.

As for that Cangsong, Zhou Yongcheng was also keeping an eye on him. Although he would not betray the Qingyun Sect, he practiced evil arts and secretly used the souls and blood of low-level cultivators to cultivate. This person was beyond redemption.

Soon it was the day before the Seven Peaks Martial Arts Tournament of Qingyun Sect, and Zhang Xiaofan was struggling with whether or not to show off his skills.
