According to the conventional process, if one wants to meet Laozi, one must first pay homage to the King of the East, then to the Queen Mother of the West, and finally one may be able to meet the Three Pure Ones, the supreme gods of Taoism.
However, Lin Yuan is a special existence in the box garden of the final trial of mankind, and the world dragon Julimo has a similar identity as an inspector.
He was able to travel unhindered and even arrived at the residence of the two-digit full authority domain alone without being noticed.
On the platform, an old man sat quietly beside the copper stove, a ray of moon-white round light floated behind his hair, and he held a whisk in his hand.
He is the founder of Taoism and the concrete symbol of all things in nature.
At the same time, he is also the last of the "Three Pure Ones" left in the box garden, namely Taiqing Daode Tianzun.
Lin Yuan strode forward.
"How many days does it take to refine this elixir?"
he asked.
"This elixir... requires the use of Samadhi Bright Fire and Samadhi Slow Fire, and it will take ninety-nine eighty-one days to be refined."
The old man's tone was very calm, and revealed a sense of indifference that was detached from the world.
Lin Yuan nodded, and then asked: "After the elixir is refined and taken, can it really prolong life and make people immortal?"
After a long time, the old man spoke in a slow tone:
"No hurry, no hurry, take your time, you can't rush things like alchemy..."
Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said meaningfully.
"I think the current box garden is like this alchemy furnace, integrating all things in the world into one and refining them into elixir."
"The Void of Stars: The End of Civilization" is it? It seems that you are also interested in my elixir?"
Taishang Laojun stood up while shaking his head and pounding his old waist.
"Even an old man who is about to retire from his position as a god or Buddha has no time to rest..."
In the dense smoke, the Dragon Demon King in a black robe approached step by step, accompanied by terrifying unknown void fluctuations, which blew away most of the green smoke in Lihentian, and even the immortal beasts were frightened and fled in all directions.
"Regardless of my identity as the Demon King, my real name is Lin Yuan, the Void Dragon God."
"'Taiqing' means the Heaven of Morality... just call me Taishang Laojun."
As the supreme god of Taoism, and the most dangerous final test for mankind.
These two beings at the pinnacle of the small garden finally meet at this moment.
Then, Taishang Laojun gently waved his whisk, and the Bagua copper furnace opened. Several fragrant pills slowly floated out of the furnace and were neatly arranged in front of Lin Yuan.
"Please use."
Taishang Laojun said slowly.
"It has been tens of thousands of years since my two colleagues left the small garden. During this period, no outsiders have come here. Let me show my hospitality as a host."
Lin Yuan nodded, picked up a pill and swallowed it.
In an instant, the aroma of medicine spread from the mouth to the whole body, and the aftertaste was long and continuous.
"The elixir made by Daozu himself has long been the treasure coveted by many immortals."
Lin Yuan chuckled.
Of course, for Lin Yuan today, the spiritual improvement brought by these golden elixirs is very limited.
"I, Laojun, have been refining pills for my entire life and have received countless praises, but I never expected that one day I would hear praise from the mouth of a human final trial."
Taishang Laojun stroked his long beard and said with a smile.
"Lin Yuan, you have become very famous in the lower world recently. The Heavenly Court is very afraid of you. Even the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Purple Star in the Central Sky fell at your hands. You really make people look at you with new eyes."
"Daozu, you are too modest. It shouldn't be difficult for you to make the star spirits fall."
The old man smiled and shook his head gently.
"Everything in the world has its destiny. Those who are not destined to die will naturally turn misfortune into fortune. However, those who are destined to die will not be able to escape death even if they are destined to die. Taoism advocates letting nature take its course and will never interfere with it by force."
"The Heavenly Palace will continue to exist. We just need to face disasters and changes."
Lin Yuan asked with a playful tone.
0 ·······Request flowers····· ····
However, Taishang Laojun's laughter became even more hearty.
"The gods and immortals revolve around human history, but humans are not simple. They use their own concepts to give attributes to the gods and assign responsibilities. From a macro perspective, isn't the Heavenly Court just like a huge human dynasty?"
"Daozu, you are so free and easy."
"How can I be so carefree?"
Taishang Laojun shook his head and said, "If I were really free and easy, I would have left the box garden like those two companions."
The word "free and easy" accurately summarizes Taiqing's attitude towards life.
Lin Yuan deeply understood this.
By the later times, Taoism had declined beyond recognition.
Most people worship Guanyin, but they don't know where her spirit has gone.
The only ones that remain are gods such as the door gods, the god of wealth and the god of land.
In other words, humans no longer believe in those seemingly useless gods.
If gods cannot bring direct benefits, their existence loses its meaning.
"Does Daozu know the purpose of my trip?"
Lin Yuan asked.
Taishang Laojun smiled slightly, and the yin and yang light behind him became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire Tushita Palace.
"If you don't tell me, how can I know? But even if you tell me, what can I do?"
"It seems that our negotiations have failed?"
"We talked, but no words came out. How can we know failure without talking?"
"Since Daozu said so, I will no longer hide it. I hope that Daozu can come forward to appease those heavenly soldiers and priests when the Heavenly Court and the Monkey King finally decide the winner."
Lin Yuan said.
"can."
Taishang Laojun's answer was clear and crisp, beyond Lin Yuan's expectations.
0 ... ....
The old man shook his head slightly, and his long beard fluttered with it.
"As the star spirit of Earth, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven is indeed qualified to sit in that position. But Lin Yuan, you have to agree to Laojun's two conditions."
"please say."
"We need to make sure that the Monkey King has the character that is worthy of the throne, so that she can properly handle all kinds of affairs in the heavenly court and become a true Jade Emperor, rather than a demon emperor."
"What about the second condition?"
"So, how can I trust you?"
Taishang Laojun gently waved his whisk, and in an instant, the stars in the entire sky began to change.
As the mountains, rivers and land moved, the whole world seemed to "come alive" and the power of the almighty domain was displayed without reservation.
Even behind the Taoist himself, the light of yin and yang gradually emerged.
This is exactly the majesty displayed by the spiritual nature of the two-digit Supreme God.
"Although Laojun lives in seclusion and inaction, he does not want to witness the destruction of human history. The fate of the 'Heavenly Movement Theory' has been broken, but what about your 'End of Civilization Theory'? You have to show me the opportunity to work with you."
Hearing this, Lin Yuan slowly stood up and looked directly at the Taoist Supreme God in front of him.
"Does Daozu know everything about the four-digit number Nine Nine Nine Outer Sect?"
"No."
"Okay, then I'll tell you my true identity..."
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he informed Taishang Laojun of the original intention of establishing the "Pure Blood of Dragon" community.
"As a dragon species, I was born from the prayer to avoid destruction. The final trial is just a "sharp blade" that I use to intimidate the gods, not the purpose. This is my essence. As a restraining force, I am an invisible vortex of power that will appear according to the situation. "
After saying this, he looked towards Taishang Laojun.
"Besides Kulima, you are the second person in the box garden who knows my true nature. Does this mean that we have established trust?"
Lin Yuan asked.
Laojun opened his eyes, looked at Lin Yuan who had a calm face in front of him, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Since you have already given the proof, I, Laojun, will naturally not break my promise. When the Monkey King ascends to the Lingxiao Palace and the grudges are settled, the throne of the Jade Emperor will naturally belong to her."
"In that case, I won't stay any longer."
Having said that, Lin Yuan prepared to turn around and leave.
"Wait a minute."
Taishang Laojun drew out the tone and stopped Lin Yuan's steps.
Lin Yuan turned around in confusion, only to find the old man looking at him with a smile.
"Since you are here, you might as well take some things with you before you leave. Otherwise, the people below will say that I am impolite."
Taishang Laojun waved his hand lightly, and dozens of pills flew into Lin Yuan's hands.
"Since my companions left, I have been refining pills for a long time, but no one is interested in them. The pills are piled up like a mountain. You can take some back to help me clean up the inventory."
"Thanks."
After Lin Yuan left, Taishang Laojun closed his eyes and thought for a while.
When he opened his eyes again, the old man shook his head slightly, stood up and tidied the alchemy furnace like an ordinary person.
"Since the "End of Civilization Theory" has proven its existence, what's the point of me staying in the small garden? Well, I should find a suitable time and leave as soon as possible like them..."
Above the Heaven of Lihen, the Tushita Palace returned to its former tranquility.
