Chapter 136: Great Tang Female Emperor Li Wanqing
Empress Wa looked astonished: “Has someone really touched that edge?”
There are many Innate Sages in this world, and many Little Sages, but there are only a few Post-Heaven Sages.
Having reached their status, what they care most about is what realm exists above them?
Although they don’t know, they believe it exists, because they also have a shackle.
Although they have obtained eternal life and cannot even be killed by any means, they have paid a price: they cannot directly interfere in the affairs of the Three Realms. They can only indirectly interfere through their disciples or avatars.
Everyone says they have gained freedom and eternal immortality.
However, they themselves know that they cannot kill even an ant within these Three Realms.
Isn’t that ridiculous?
Their disciples can easily shatter a mountain range, but they cannot kill a single ant in the Three Realms.
Post-Heaven Sages have severed most of their karmic ties with the Three Realms, so they can only indirectly influence what happens within. Their vast divine power can only be used on those who have severed their three corpses, because once one begins to sever their three corpses, it signifies that they are about to achieve eternal life and also begin to sever their karma with the Three Realms.
As for matters within the Three Realms, the Post-Heaven Big Shots cannot directly intervene.
Therefore, in order to influence the Three Realms, the Post-Heaven Big Shots have to lay down various plans in the Three Realms. For example, Wukong is a plan laid down by Empress Wa.
Although she cannot directly interfere in the Three Realms, she can influence them through Wukong.
And everything they do is only to find and break that final shackle.
If one is immortal and indestructible, but in the end cannot even kill an ant, and the entire Three Realms have nothing to do with you, what is the point of such eternal life?
However, today’s celestial phenomena tell them that someone has touched the edge of that shackle.
Outside Hangu Pass, an old man with a white beard rode a green ox, looking up at the sky.
His surname was Li, and his given name was Er. Because he was born looking like an old grandfather, people nicknamed him Laozi.
During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, he wrote a 《Tao Te Ching》, and founded the Human Sect with it.
He also has another identity, which is Laozi’s true form.
The Laozi in the Tushita Palace is just his avatar.
Laozi’s true form has always been in the Mortal Realm.
After all, Yuan Shi Tianzun’s Chan Sect mainly has disciples from the Divine Race, mainly celestial beings, and Tongtian Master’s Jie Sect has disciples mostly from the Demon Race.
And Laozi’s Human Sect has disciples who are all from the Human Race. If he doesn’t stay in the human world, where else would he go?
It’s just that Post-Heaven Sages cannot directly interfere in the Three Realms, so he left an Innate Sage avatar in Tushita Heaven, letting the avatar indirectly influence the Three Realms.
Laozi looked at the sky and said, “This world is going to be in chaos. I don’t know if someone touching that shackle is good or bad?”
In the Great Tang capital, the female emperor Li Wanqing’s beautiful eyes flickered.
She slowly walked out of the royal palace, looking at the celestial phenomena.
She is the female emperor of the Great Tang, with the most supreme and noble status, but she is not happy at all.
Because she feels like she is just a puppet!
It’s not that someone is interfering with her, but she herself feels that her life is a joke.
Since the Human Emperor lineage was severed, the soul of the Divine Continent Son of Heaven, who represents the supreme of the human world, must come from the Heavenly Court.
Either from the Dragon Race, so human emperors are also called True Dragon Sons of Heaven.
Or from the stars, so human emperors are also called Ziwei Descendants.
Although Li Wanqing is only sixteen years old, she has already seen her true identity.
Her main body is the daughter of the Sāgararāja Dragon King, named Long Sanyuan.
She is just a mortal avatar of Long Sanyuan, and her life is short. She will probably die at the age of eighteen, and after death, she will return to Long Sanyuan.
She is unwilling to accept such a fate, but she is also helpless.
At this moment, she actually sensed a turning point in her fate. She hurriedly said, “Isn’t someone plundering the luck of my Great Tang in Chang’an? Report this matter to the Heavenly Court.”
The eunuch beside her said, “Is it really necessary to alarm the Heavenly Court over such a small matter? Li Bai’s Qinglian Sword Song is very capable of slaying ghosts, Your Majesty can just send him.”
◈◈◈
Li Wanqing frowned: “The luck of my dignified Great Tang is being plundered, and in your mouth, it’s a small matter?
You are really audacious!”
“This humble one dares not, this humble one dares not.”
The eunuch hurriedly knelt down, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Li Wanqing said, “Quickly send the information I told you.”
The eunuch said, “Yes, this humble one will follow Your Majesty’s instructions and send the matter of the plundering of the Great Tang’s luck to the Hall of Enlightenment.”
Li Wanqing waved her hand: “Don’t send it to the Hall of Enlightenment, send it to the Purple Bamboo Grove in the South Sea. Guanyin Bodhisattva has always been compassionate, and I believe she will send a capable disciple to investigate after learning that the luck of my Great Tang is being plundered.”
“This…”
The eunuch hesitated. Guanyin Bodhisattva has a great reputation among the people, but Mount Putuo is located in a remote area and rarely interferes in the affairs of the Great Tang. Letters between the mortal realm and the Heavenly Court are all sent through Taibai Jinxing’s Hall of Enlightenment. Why send it to the South Sea all of a sudden?
Li Wanqing scolded, “Hurry up and go!”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
Soon, a flying ship set off from Chang’an, heading directly to the South Sea to deliver the message.
At this time, Bai Ze had already emerged from the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform Diagram. He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.
The Nine-Rank Lotus Platform Diagram in his hand began to burn on its own, and soon turned into ashes.
He had already cultivated this diagram to perfection, and there was nothing more to cultivate.
“It’s time to undergo the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Tribulation!”
Bai Ze said lightly. In this month of listening to scriptures and practicing visualization, he had made great progress in the Purple Bamboo Grove.
But there was no progress on the outside, because his body needed to undergo tribulation, so he had been suppressing his realm.
And his state of mind had already risen several levels.
Now, as long as he successfully undergoes tribulation, and his physical body no longer holds him back, his own realm will immediately skyrocket.
“If only the realm I had in the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform Diagram were my real realm.”
Before, when he cultivated with the help of the Lotus Platform Diagram, entering that state where his entire body was about to burst the universe, that was naturally not him reaching that state himself, but the assistance of the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform Diagram.
And in real life, he was much lower than that state.
But it was enough for him to cross several realms after undergoing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Tribulation.
At this time, suddenly a light spot was shot into Bai Ze’s head, and then a piece of information spread out.
“I’ve found a way to communicate with you. It’s like this: compress all the content into a single point, and transmit it across the Great Chasm at an extremely fast speed. Because each transmission is only a light spot, the target is very small, and the transmission speed is very fast, so we don’t have to worry about being discovered by those Sages.”
“Is that so?”
Bai Ze was overjoyed. Since entering Mount Putuo, he had not contacted Ying Lao again, because Guanyin Bodhisattva could sense Ying Lao’s existence.
But if they used this compression transmission method, it seemed that they could really avoid being detected by others.
Bai Ze quickly compressed a paragraph into a light spot, and then shot it into the Hong Gou World: “That’s great, Teacher. I can finally hear your voice again, but I can’t bring you food.”
Although the two had thought of a harmless way to communicate, Bai Ze still did not dare to open the gate of the Hong Gou, as that would definitely be discovered by his master Guanyin.
