Chapter 630 The Truth of Taoism
Amid the hustle and bustle of the reconstruction of Yunhua Sect, an uninvited guest quietly arrived. This person was dressed in a white Taoist robe, as if wrapped in the pure breath of the beginning of the world, with white hair like snow but not messy at all, a clear face, and deep eyes, as if hiding the endless mysteries of time. He walked slowly from the mountain gate, and every step seemed to step on the heartstrings of everyone, attracting the attention of the disciples on duty, but they did not dare to stop him rashly because of the invisible majesty.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were discussing the future development of the sect in the hall when they suddenly felt a strange breath approaching. The two looked at each other and instantly understood each other, and stood up to greet the old man. The old man had already arrived at the steps in front of the hall. His eyes swept over the two of them, and finally fell on Yun Yao's white hair. He sighed slightly, and the sigh seemed to have traveled through time and space, carrying endless vicissitudes.
“Back then, the first ancestor of the Yunhua Sect and the ancestor of the Fentian Palace were twin Taoist companions who jointly created the heavenly rules of the world of cultivation, but parted ways due to differences in their ideologies. Now you and Chu Mochen are their reincarnations, and the resurrection of ancestor Fentian is nothing more than Heaven’s way of letting you repeat the ‘dispute over the orthodoxy’ of a thousand years ago.” The old man’s voice was low and mellow, like a huge bell echoing in the mountains, and every word he said struck into everyone’s hearts.
Yun Yao's body trembled when she heard this, and she subconsciously clenched Chu Mochen's hand, her fingertips turning white due to the force. The many doubts in her heart were like pieces of a puzzle, and they began to be pieced together at a rapid speed at this moment. Recalling the various adventures and hardships after the time travel, as well as every life-and-death moment she met and got to know Chu Mochen, it seemed that there was an invisible big hand controlling it behind the scenes. Those seemingly accidental encounters, sudden crises, and tasks issued by the system, were they just chess games preset by the heaven?
Chu Mochen also had a deep look in his eyes. He turned his head to look at Yun Yao, his eyes full of love and determination. In the past, he only knew to protect Yun Yao, even if it meant going against the will of heaven, but he didn't expect that their fate would be so deeply bound from the beginning. He gently squeezed Yun Yao's hand, as if to give her endless strength, letting her know that no matter what the road ahead was, he would stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
The old man seemed to see through the two's thoughts. He raised his hand and waved it gently. A magnificent picture slowly unfolded in the void. It was the real "Heavenly Dao Origin Diagram". In the picture, light flickered, runes flowed, showing a grand and mysterious world of cultivation. Yun Yao looked at it and was shocked to find that the so-called following the will of heaven and going against the will of heaven were just two sides of the same coin of the Heavenly Dao, just like the two poles of yin and yang, interdependent and mutually restrained. Only when the twin Taoists work together can this delicate balance be maintained.
Thousands of years ago, Yunhua Sect and Burning Heaven Temple had the same origin. The first generation of twin Taoist partners, with their extraordinary cultivation and wisdom, jointly forged the basic laws of heaven in the world of cultivation. At that time, the world was just beginning to be established, the aura was dense, and all living things flourished under their protection. However, as time went by, the understanding and practice of heaven gradually diverged. The first generation of the founder of Yunhua Sect adhered to the way of "following heaven and responding to people", believing that cultivators should follow the natural way of heaven, guide the people with compassion, and let all things grow naturally on the established track, so as to maintain the harmony and stability between heaven and earth; while the founder of Burning Heaven Temple advocated "going against heaven to become a demon". He felt that although heaven dominated all things, it also bound the infinite possibilities of living beings. Only by breaking the routine and changing fate with powerful power can cultivators transcend the world and control true freedom.
At first, it was just a dispute of ideas. Although the twin Taoists sometimes argued, they also loved each other and tried to find a way to have the best of both worlds in the process of running-in. But a sudden change broke this balance. While exploring a mysterious ancient domain, the founder of the Burning Heaven Temple was accidentally eroded by an ancient and evil demonic energy, and his mind gradually became confused. The demonic energy was like the whisper of a devil, constantly tempting him to pursue the ultimate power and overthrow the so-called "unfair" heaven. Under the influence of the demonic energy, his temperament changed drastically, and he began to secretly gather forces, trying to reshape the heavenly way with the power of the Burning Heaven Temple and make the world run according to his wishes.
The first generation of the Yunhua Sect's founder noticed her lover's abnormality and was heartbroken. She knew that if she allowed it to develop, it would bring disaster to the world of cultivation. In order to prevent this catastrophe, she had to make a difficult decision - to direct and act out a war between the Yunhua Sect and the Burning Heaven Palace. She hoped that through this war, she could not only seal her lover who was controlled by the evil spirit, but also let the world see the harm of acting against the will of heaven, so as to protect the fire of righteousness.
On the day of the battle, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds were turbulent. The monks of Yunhua Sect and Burning Heaven Palace fought desperately above the clouds, the lights of magic weapons intertwined like a net, and the roar of magic was deafening. The first generation of ancestors, with tears in her eyes, personally sealed her lover in the depths of the Burning Heart Mirror. At the same time, at the cost of the sacrifice of most of the elite members of Yunhua Sect, she destroyed her own spiritual veins and laid down layers of seals to imprison the evil power of Burning Heaven Palace. But she never expected that the evil spirit was too tenacious. Although it was suppressed, it quietly eroded the seal over the long years, waiting for an opportunity to move. Until today, in the name of the resurrection of the Burning Heaven Patriarch, it attempted to set off a bloody storm again.
“Now, you must make a choice: to fall into a cycle like your predecessors, or…” The old man looked deeply at the sea of clouds in the distance. The sea of clouds was surging like the unpredictable undercurrent of fate, “to create your own way of heaven.” After speaking, the scroll was slowly rolled up, the light faded, leaving only silence, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in this shocking historical truth.
Yun Yao raised her eyes and looked at the endless sky, as if there was a flame burning in her heart. She knew very well that at this moment they were standing at the crossroads of fate, with the blood and tears left by their ancestors thousands of years ago behind them, and the unknown road ahead of them was foggy but full of hope. Looking back on the past, she traveled from an ordinary modern woman and experienced hardships, from the intrigues in the inner house of the palace to the bloody storm in the world of cultivation, and every step was difficult and firm. She learned to love and be loved in the world, understood responsibility and commitment, and realized that going against the will of heaven is not blind confrontation, but finding life in desperation and protecting the love and justice in her heart.
Chu Mochen's heart was also surging, and his eyes followed Yun Yao all the time. From the first glimpse when he saw her, to the companionship of life and death later, Yun Yao had long been everything in his life. He understood that no matter which path he chose, as long as he joined hands with Yun Yao, he would have nothing to fear. He remembered that when he was in the palace, Yun Yao saved Xiao Cui and other servants regardless of her own safety. That kindness and courage moved him; in the sect, facing false accusations and crises, Yun Yao always stuck to her heart, trusted him, relied on him, and the two grew up together and broke through difficulties together. These bits and pieces of the past have converged into their firm belief today-not to be at the mercy of fate, to seek the welfare of the people, and to create a new era of cultivation.
"Senior, we will not repeat the same mistakes." Yun Yao broke the silence, her voice clear and firm, like the dawn that penetrated the clouds, "The tragedy of a thousand years ago was caused by misunderstanding and out-of-control power. Now that we know the truth, we must break this cycle. The world of cultivation should not be bound by outdated rules. Every living being should have the right to pursue freedom and happiness. We are willing to use the power of our twin Taoist companions to reshape the way of heaven and let the light shine on the earth."
The old man heard this, a trace of relief flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly: "Very good, since you have made this determination, you must be prepared. The road ahead is full of thorns. Not only will you face the counterattack of the old forces, but you will also have to explore the unknown mysteries of the Heavenly Dao. But I believe that your fetters and beliefs will be the sharp blade that breaks through all obstacles." After saying this, the old man's figure gradually faded, as if he had merged into the world, leaving only the last words of advice echoing in the air: "Remember, the true Dao rhythm is the key to your breakthrough, and it is also the key to opening a new Heavenly Dao..."
After the old man left, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen smiled at each other, their smiles full of expectations and fearlessness for the future. They turned around and looked at the busy disciples in the Yunhua Sect. These young faces were full of vitality and hope. They were the hope for the future of the sect and the driving force for their protection. At this moment, rebuilding the Yunhua Sect was no longer just to continue the inheritance of the ancestors, but also to create a new starting point, a cradle that could carry their ideals and breed freedom and justice.
In the following days, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen studied ancient books day and night, exploring more secrets about the twin Taoists and the Way of Heaven. They read countless yellowed books in the Yunhua Sect's library, interpreting the wisdom of their ancestors from the ancient rune records; they also practiced hard in the secret room, trying to integrate the power of each other's spiritual veins and comprehend the way of "examination of the heart" to a deeper level. Every collision of spiritual power and every exchange of souls made them more tacit, as if two swords joined together, their sharpness gradually revealed.
At the same time, Yunhua Sect flourished under their leadership. After experiencing many changes, Liu Yan'er completely let go of her inner demons and devoted herself to the construction of the sect. With her superb cultivation, she taught her disciples practical skills. She could always be seen in the martial arts arena, with her heroic figure, each move was fierce, and she gave careful guidance to her disciples from time to time. As the first elder, Ye Wuhen coordinated the overall situation, introduced the management of Xingyun Pavilion into Yunhua Sect, dealt with various forces, and strived for resources and development space for the sect. With his efforts, Yunhua Sect established friendly exchanges with many neutral sects, and exchanged what they had. For a time, Yunhua Sect became famous and became a rising star in the world of cultivation.
However, under the calm, there are undercurrents. The old and established sects, especially those deeply influenced by the traditional concept of Heavenly Dao, are deeply disturbed by the rise of Yunhua Sect. They sense Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's determination to change the rules of Heavenly Dao, and they are afraid that this new force will break their long-standing dominance. So, in secret, an organization called "Shou Dao League" was quietly established. They conspired and tried to find the flaws of Yunhua Sect, suppress this "anti-Heavenly Dao" force, and re-stabilize the old Heavenly Dao order.
One day, Yun Yao was practicing in seclusion in the back mountain, trying to further integrate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and comprehend the true meaning of the chaotic heaven. Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis came to her heart, and she opened her eyes abruptly, looking into the distance with a sharp gaze. At the same time, Chu Mochen also noticed something strange, and his figure flashed to Yun Yao's side. The two looked at each other, and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
"It seems that those old forces can't sit still anymore." Chu Mochen frowned slightly, and the Sword of Questioning in his hand hummed, as if it sensed the master's will to fight, and couldn't wait to unsheathe it and drink blood.
Yun Yao nodded gently, stood up and straightened her sleeves. Her white hair fluttered in the wind, but it didn't look messy at all. Instead, it revealed an extraordinary temperament. "In this case, let's go meet them and let them know that the times have changed and a new heaven will surely come." After that, the two of them joined hands and turned into two streams of light, flying towards the foot of Yunhua Sect Mountain. There, a battle about the future fate of the cultivation world is about to begin... And their legend will also continue to write a more magnificent chapter in this baptism of blood and fire, and move forward bravely towards the unknown and hopeful other side of the heaven.
