I Am Loaded with Passive Skills - Chapter 2113

Chapter 1987 Remembering Myself

“Hurry, hurry, we’re going to be late.”

“What Master Ping is going to talk about today seems to be the Taoist Ancestor among the Ten Ancestors in the past… Is the magic derived from evil spirits, or is it derived from Taoism? She is the one who has the most say!”

In the Southern Heavenly Suozhou, Yunlong carried the island, and the holy power turned into colorful clouds. There were two young men escaping quickly in the clouds.

The one in front was energetic and hurried.

The one being pulled behind was sleepy, with two big dark circles under his eyes, as if he had just been pulled out of the quilt. No matter

how hard he tried, he was still late for this morning class, which was said to be the most precious after entering the door.

When the two arrived at the Qunxing Peak, passed through the cross-border Tianji formation, and then quietly entered the lecture hall of the Yin-Yang Taoist Palace, Master Ping on the stage had already started for a while:

“…So Shi Ming Nuo, they are all foreign ancestors, not the ancestor gods raised by my heavenly realm cloud soil.”

“Shi Zu Kong Yuhen, he was just forced to steal the name of Dao Zu Yi Ji, occupying the ‘position’ that was vacant during the period when Dao Zu did not enter the world during his preaching.”

“This is the truth.”

Master Ping spoke on the stage, and there were more than ten thousand people listening below the Yunhai seats.

Among these people, there were old scholars who studied the history of ancient ancestor gods, old seniors who practiced evil arts instead of Taoism, and some who believed that Shi Zu was one of the ten ancestors.

Obviously, not everyone agreed with this statement.

But as soon as Master Ping finished speaking, a rebuttal sounded from below:

“Master Ping, I have a doubt.”

“Time is earlier than Taoism, and the Taoist master cultivates memory. Could it be that the Taoist master tampered with historical memory and kicked the Shi master out of the seat of the Ten Masters, and you didn’t notice it?”

This voice was heard, and there was a commotion all around.

The idea was not bold, and it was a doubt that everyone had.

But from ancient times to the present, there has never been a definitive conclusion. If it was Master Ping, as the only one in the heavenly realm who cultivated the history of Taoism and used the long river of history to distinguish me, perhaps her answer would be the closest to the truth.

“Interesting…”

The sleepy guy in the back was also awakened by the noise and became a little more energetic.

How boring it is to cultivate Taoism. What he likes to listen to most is actually these ancestor gods’ gossip. In fact, if everyone can cultivate the history of Taoism, he thinks that the history of Taoism is the most fragrant.

As long as you delve into the ancestor gods’ gossip, you can gain power from it. How interesting!

“That’s right, Li Yun, otherwise why would I pull you here?” The young boy Tong Sheng snorted, then bumped the arm of the person next to him and asked in a low voice:

“Brother, what did Master Ping say just now? I was delayed by something and didn’t hear the previous part…” After saying that, he stuffed a piece of Lingque into it.

The square-faced senior brother was originally angry, after all, he was concentrating on immersing himself in Master Ping’s beauty and was interrupted. When he turned his head and saw Lingque, he laughed, with an expression that said you really understand me:

“There’s nothing else.”

“It just tells a different history, saying that the ‘Southern Heavenly Continent’ under our feet was formerly called the ‘Southern Territory Sin Land’.”

“This ‘Heavenly Realm’ is not the ancient Heavenly Realm, but the ‘New Heavenly Realm’ reshaped 129,600 epochs ago. It is said that it also combines the power of the ‘Time Realm’, which is why it has left the name of ‘Time Ancestor’ among the five Heavenly Continents.”

“If you were in that era, what we are in now would be called the ‘Future’.”

Hiss!

Tong Sheng took a breath of cold air.

Can Master Ping also trace the truth of such a long-ago event? Is this the power of history? It’s so good!

“Did Daozu tell you?” Tong Sheng asked. It was related to his next Daoist practice. It would be a pity if he missed it.

“It sounds like it’s about to start…”

As soon as the square-faced senior brother said this, Master Ping in front of the Yunhai stage lightly denied the doubt and continued the previous words:

“Speaking of Daozu, many people’s impression of Daozu is that he has only one real name, ‘Yi Ji’, right?”

“Yes, Daozu’s real name is Yi Ji, and he practices the way of memory, but you don’t know that this was the name of Daozu before he returned to zero.”

“Strictly speaking, after Daozu returned to zero, he is Daozu, but he is no longer Daozu. He should be called ‘Dao Qiong Cang’.”

What does it mean?

Tong Sheng was confused and opened his mouth.

Even Li Yun, who had dark circles under his eyes, became a little more curious.

Only the square-faced senior brother was still immersed in Master Ping’s grace and couldn’t extricate himself.

“Holy Demon, Medicine Ghost, Sword Dragon, and Daotian, you should not have forgotten the formula of the original ten ancestors, right?”

“The names of the ten ancestors were all determined before the ten ancestors were reset, regardless of Holy Demon, Medicine Ghost, Magic Demon, or Memory Dao.”

“To study Dao, you must investigate Dao Ancestor; to investigate Dao Ancestor, you cannot avoid memory and truth; to investigate memory and truth, you must review Dao Ancestor’s life of exquisite layout… Everyone, listen to me.”

Master Ping’s voice was like a bird in the valley, crisp and pleasant, fascinating.

As she spoke, her slender hand gently stroked the sea of clouds, and there were mysterious changes on it, turning into a small cloud disk, interpreting the history of the predecessor of the New Heaven Realm, the Holy Divine Continent.

“Daoist Ancestor Yiji was born after Saint Ancestor Shengxin. He was named the second ancestor god of the Holy God Continent, ascended to the heavenly realm, and later made friends with Nuo, Ming, and Shi.”

“At this moment, the ancestors have not yet returned to zero, so each performed his own method to explore the perfection of the great way… Shengxin’s two-in-one and one-return-to-zero path once led the historical development of the Holy God Continent, which also gave Yiji something to think about.”

“I have to say here. In terms of talent alone, Yiji is not as good as Shengxin. He only has great fortune in the way of memory. His greatest ability is to ‘reference’.”

The sea of clouds was lonely, and everyone was silent.

Obviously, everyone was immersed in the history of the Holy God Continent, and even Senior Brother Square Face told Master Ping about it.

“The Taoist Ancestor Yi Ji is not good at innovation, so He also took the path of two-in-one and one back to zero, but there are a few minor changes in details.”

“After witnessing Sheng Xin killing me, splitting out the Demon Ancestor, and being backlashed, Yi Ji’s choice was not to copy him, but to be on the safe side, he killed multiple ‘me’s’, named ‘him’.”

“Using ‘him’ and relying on ‘I’, this is the path that Yi Ji had chosen early on. He defined ‘the me of memory’ as the ‘first generation’, ‘power’ as the ‘second generation’, and ‘wisdom’ as the third generation.”

“The rest, the fourth and fifth generations, are all various incarnations and puppets of heaven. According to the law of the jungle, the fittest survive and the best are continuously selected to replace the ‘third generation’, until a most perfect ‘third generation’ appears, recovers the power of the ‘second generation’, and takes over the return of the ‘first generation’ of me, and then achieves the path of ascension to the zero ancestor god.”

Behind the sea of clouds, Tong Sheng listened in astonishment.

This is a bit too exaggerated. For the sake of cultivating the Tao, a person can be so crazy that he cuts himself into so many selves and defines them as him. And in the end, he can get them back?

Obviously, there are many people in the sea of clouds who think the same way. Soon, there is a noise, and someone asks: “Then is the self that returns still me?”

Master Ping smiled lightly: “Let’s put this aside for now. Just know that there was ‘Yi Ji’ first, and then there was ‘Dao Qiong Cang’, and both of them are Dao Zu.”

The sea of clouds returned to dead silence again.

Everyone was concentrating, listening attentively, waiting for the next words.

“The road of survival of the fittest is extremely long.”

“After all, the most perfect three generations need to evolve continuously, taking only the essence and eliminating the dross, until the generation with peak wisdom and ingenious calculations is evolved.”

“This road lasted from the Shengxin era to the Chongyin era, and then ended in the Lianling era.”

“During this period, Dao Zu Yi Ji imprisoned himself on the back of the long river of memory, relying on the power of memory to completely erase his own existence from the cognition of the world. Even if he was reset to zero, he would not know the ancestor without deliberately investigating.”

Wow~

Li Yun, who had dark circles under his eyes, couldn’t help but exclaim.

If you deliberately investigate, there must be a point to investigate, right?

The way of memory conceals all existence. Even if the ancestor god is reset to zero, how can you trace Dao Zu Yi Ji from the first point?

——There is no “first point” at all!

“I believe everyone has understood. Hiding behind the long river of memory is equivalent to hiding behind the normal people’s thinking, hiding in the shadows that no one in the world cares about.”

“In this case, those who can read about the existence of ‘Daozu’ are either not normal people or have confused memories. It is useless to know about it, after all, no one agrees.”

“Even if they really know about it and it is said, it will only be regarded as a fun story, a ‘belief’ fabricated out of thin air, and no one will verify its authenticity. In fact, there is no way to prove it.”

“After all, before Daozu Yiji voluntarily exposed himself, there was not even a Daozu in the name of the Ten Ancestors, and there is no inheritance or trace of him in the world.”

“And Sheng Xin, Shennong Baicao, Chongyin and others were affected by the way of memory. From the cognitive level, Daozu Yiji did not exist. In addition, Yiji’s move was not aimed at the way of the ancestral gods of each family. On the contrary, it avoided the great way of each family and only fulfilled the way of self. This is not dangerous to the ancestors, and naturally it will not trigger the induction, causing the ancestors to think deeply for no reason.”

“So, we can simply summarize it like this…”

Master Ping stared at the evolution of history on Yunhai, spread his hands, and exclaimed:

“If Daozu can’t be reset to zero in the end, then the way of memory really didn’t exist. There was no Daozu among the ten ancestors. He died while hiding. This has no impact on history. After all, some history is unknown.”

“If Daozu can be reset to zero in the end, then the way of memory will come back, and the real memory of the world will awaken, and the true knowledge will awaken. The trend of Daozu’s reset is unstoppable. This is indeed true history. What can we do?”

“No matter how uncomfortable it is, you have to accept it. This is memory, just like the predecessor in everyone’s memory.”

Hiss!

Li Yun’s expression twisted, and Qianqian, Yuan’er, A Leng, Dudu, Xiaobai appeared in his mind…

They all said they were ruthless, but in fact he loved every one of them.

They all said they loved everyone, but in fact he loved every one of them deeply.

Tong Sheng was confused. What is a predecessor? He has no predecessor. He has been single for eighteen years since his mother’s birth.

“So what Master Ping means is that the last of the third generation, named ‘Dao Qiongcang’, successfully abolished the first generation ‘Yi Ji’, sealed him as the ancestor god of zero, and completed the last step of the path of memory?” There were quite a few people in the sea of clouds who listened attentively, and not all of them were led astray by Master Ping.

“That’s right.” Master Ping nodded lightly and smiled sweetly, “But it’s more than that.”

Without waiting for questions, she continued:

“The Dao Ancestor Yi Ji has great ambitions, otherwise he would not have used such an exquisite and lengthy layout to calculate the perfect path to zero return to the Ancestral God.”

“Naturally, each of the ‘I’s’ that He cut out, also called ‘him’, also has a big appetite.”

“By the time of the third generation of ‘Dao Qiong Cang’, he was already proficient in various ways, and had dabbled in spirit refining, life, reincarnation, formation diagrams, heavenly secrets, stars, magic, swordsmanship, ancient martial arts… and so on. Each of them has made considerable achievements. Although they are not as good as the leaders of the Dao, they are all among the best.”

“Other people’s multi-practice is mixed, but the Dao Ancestor has already focused on the Dao of Memory, and supplemented it with other ways. He aims to make half a step forward and surpass zero when the Dao of Memory is perfectly returned to zero.”

“What is being thought of here should be what each ancestor thinks. In fact, only a few can succeed. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Taoist Patriarch is the ancestor of all Taos. After all, as long as they have been defeated by Him, at least the Tao that was taken away by Him has been ‘cut in two’ or ‘two in one’, and a few have also reached the ‘zero return’ level.”

Yun Hai was still puzzled, and said loudly: “But Master Ping, Sheng Xin, Shennong Baicao and the like are all top figures on the Ancestor God List, either with extraordinary combat power or extraordinary strategies, far from being comparable to the short-lived Hua Zu and Li Zu. How could they tolerate the three generations of Dao Qiong Cang, step by step towards perfection and zero return?”

“Good question!” Master Ping’s beautiful eyes lit up, and she gave him an appreciative look, saying:

“This is about the steps of Dao Zu Yiji’s enlightenment.”

“If we compare ‘strength’ to ‘appetite’, then Yiji is the entire way of memory, divided into pieces… apples.”

She stroked her hand, and a huge white apple appeared in the sea of clouds. In fact, it looked more like a meat cocoon, and there seemed to be a giant inside.

With a swish of her hand, the knife fell, and the white apple was cut into slices. She picked up a thin slice with her green jade fingers and said slowly:

“When the third generation was weak, his appetite was small, so he could only eat the first slice of apple.”

“At that time, the memories he awakened, or inherited from the first generation, were also very limited, not enough to attract the attention of the Ancestral God.”

“As the third generation continued to grow and his appetite gradually grew, he was able to eat the second, third, or even many slices of apple. The power of the way of memory also slowly awakened, and began to reach the realm of the Ancestral God.”

“This will touch off a ‘critical period’, between ‘being discovered’ and ‘being able to hide’. This awkward period is approximately at the realm of Semi-Saint of Spirit Refining – if it goes any higher, either the Ancestral God will discover Yi Ji’s layout, or he will completely transcend it.”

“We said that there were many ‘third generations’, so why did all the past ‘three generations’ die?”

“Because the ‘second generation’, the second generation holds the power and is placed in the third generation. In addition to being able to lend power at critical moments, the main responsibility is that when the third generation is at a critical period, but before it is ‘discovered’ due to any kind of ‘exceeding’, the second generation will take action, kill the third generation, reshape the ‘memory’, and let the Dao Ancestor return to zero and start over again.”

I understand!

Tong Sheng’s eyes widened, and he understood what Master Ping meant.

The existence of the second generation, this design is too ingenious. No matter what, he will detect whether the ‘third generation’ is too excessive before the ancestor gods, and he is closest to the third generation and can kill people first.

If the third generation exceeds, before the ancestor gods such as Sheng Xin, Shennong Baicao and others discover and take action to get involved in the way of memory, the second generation has already killed the third generation, and no one can get the way of memory.

Then, the clues to the way of memory are broken, and starting from the anchor point where “Yi Ji” was originally laid out, it becomes unnoticed again.

What was left behind was a lot of experience of failure, which could be used by the next three generations. In the end, the last and smartest three generations knew how to better control their power and not exceed it, and then perfectly passed that awkward critical period.

“So strong…”

“So complicated…”

Li Yun, with dark circles under his eyes, murmured silently.

This is what it means to cultivate the Tao with your brain. He clearly has the strongest power, but he is still so cautious.

If the Taoist Ancestor did not succeed, who could succeed?

In comparison, the calculations of the ancestors to achieve Taoism in the past were not calculations. It can only be said that they were lucky.

It just happened that no one in that era could shake his edge. The layout of the Taoist Ancestor was a wonderful layout that “must” achieve the return to zero ancestor god even in the era of refining spirits when the geniuses of various Daos bloomed and the ancestors took turns to be sealed.

“But Daozu failed, didn’t he?”

There were many talented seniors in the sea of clouds, and they raised another question: “When Daozu finally achieved enlightenment, he was no longer Yiji, but Daoqiongcang, wasn’t he?” Teacher

Ping smiled: “But, before I said the name ‘Daoqiongcang’, who in this era knew ‘Daoqiongcang’? Didn’t everyone think that Daozu was still ‘Yiji’?”

The senior who spoke was stunned and scratched his head, as if that was exactly the case?

Master Ping continued: “From the perspective of ‘he’ to ‘I’, we ‘he’ still think that Dao Zu is ‘Yi Ji’, and Dao Zu’s Tao is complete.”

“From the perspective of ‘I’, then in the era of Dao Qiong Cang, no one knew ‘Yi Ji’, only ‘Dao Qiong Cang’, and His ‘I’ Tao was also complete.”

“And if we discuss ‘Dao Qiong Cang’ from ‘Yi Ji’, or from ‘Dao Qiong Cang’ to ‘Yi Ji’, then ‘he’ and ‘I’ rely on each other, and prove the Eighth Ancestor’s ‘Sword I’ Yin-Yang Balance Tao, and Dao Zu is still complete.”

“You only talk about the name, not the essence, but Dao Zu only looks at the essence, not the name. This is the difference between you and Dao Zu, and it is also the difference between the Tao of ‘he’ relying on ‘I’ and the traditional Tao of distinguishing I… Do you understand?”

I understand!

Tong Sheng’s eyes lit up again.

Dao Zu doesn’t care whether he is called “Yi Ji” or “Dao Qiong Cang”, he only cares whether he can return to zero or even surpass it.

After returning to zero, every “he” will be “me”, so naturally, the ancestor of all paths should have more than ten thousand names.

“How can we maintain our ‘self’?” The sea of clouds was puzzled again.

“This is indeed what most people think.” Master Ping smiled, “but it is like looking at the moon from a small perspective.”

“At the level of the ancestor, what you think of as ‘the chaotic him’ is actually the ‘perfect me’ in his cognition, and what you think of as ‘chaos’ is the ‘balance’ that he has painstakingly cultivated in his eyes. How can you use your current perspective to determine that his state of existence is in a ‘lost’ state?”

With this explanation, even Li Yun understood.

A glance at Tong Sheng, who obviously understood it, but hesitated to speak.

He understood his friend’s shy and introverted personality, and immediately spoke loudly and asked: “Master Ping, Master Ping, which one is more orthodox, the evil arts or the Taoist arts?”

This is exactly what Tong Sheng was confused about.

Today, he came for this.

Master Ping smiled and gave him an admiring look. It was obviously a good question. She said,

“No technique is higher than evil, and no plan is higher than Taoism. I think everyone has heard this saying.”

“But Taoism and evil arts both use the power of the stars to evolve into the art of heavenly secrets, which is distinct from the art of evil spirits, but also has some interactions. They are on par with each other.”

“To investigate which is stronger, Taoism or evil arts, the essence is to investigate the order of Taoism and evil spirits, and also to investigate history.”

Master Ping paused and stroked again with her slender hand.

The sea of clouds surged again, forming various light and dark timelines of the Holy Divine Continent era.

“From the obvious point of view, the art of Taoism was established by the Art Ancestor, and then reached its peak in the evil spirit.”

“From the hidden point of view, the Taoist Ancestor was born before the Art Ancestor, and even before the ancestors after the Saint Ancestor.”

“But after the time ancestor lost his way, the long river of time became countless, and then parallel and chaotic. The ancestors of Taoism can be regarded as advancing in parallel and being born at the same time.”

“Then, who came first and who came later?”

Master Ping raised the corner of his lips, and after whetting the appetite of tens of thousands of people in the audience of Yunhai, he smiled lightly and said:

“Both can come first and can come later.”

Why did you say that?

This is too puzzling.

Fortunately, Master Ping did not interrupt and continued to talk. (End of this chapter)
