Chapter 841 Righteous God and Heavenly God

"The King of Pagodas." The Jade Emperor called out softly as if he was following his words, and Li Jing, the Heavenly King of Pagodas, appeared here out of thin air.

After Li Jing appeared, he immediately saluted the Jade Emperor respectfully: "Your Majesty, why are you summoning me?"

The Jade Emperor said in a heavy voice: "Li Jing, do you know that some immortals in heaven have been infected by demonic energy?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Jing was instantly shocked. He glanced at Fang Xiu from the corner of his eyes, and he suddenly had a guess in his heart. Could it be that the successor of Nuwa came here for this matter?

"Your Majesty, I don't know. I patrol the heaven with a demon mirror every day, and no demonic intrusion is found. I have neglected my duty. Please punish me!" Li Jing knelt down on one knee, his face full of shame.

The Jade Emperor examined Li Jing's expression: "My dear, please get up quickly. This matter is not your fault. This demonic infection is very hidden. Even I can hardly detect it. If it weren't for the descendant of Nuwa, I would not come to tell you. I am also kept in the dark now.”

Li Jing secretly thought that indeed, only such a big event would be enough to alarm the descendants of Nuwa.

He looked at Fang Xiu and asked politely: "Who are the people who dare to be Nuwa's successor and are infected by the demonic energy?"

Fang Xiu said bluntly: "Currently, we only know Yue Lao. He was injured by Sun Wukong, and the body of the immortal god was no longer perfect, causing the magic energy to accidentally leak. I discovered it. I called you here today to test you. Let's see. Are you infected by evil spirits?"

Li Jing looked serious, without any hesitation. He turned his right hand, and a dark golden dagger appeared out of thin air in his hand. Then he picked up the dagger and slashed it against the palm of his left hand.

Uh-huh!

A dark red wound appeared, and divine light surged from the wound, majestic and majestic.

Fang Xiu looked carefully, felt carefully, and found that there was no demonic energy.

He is extremely sensitive to demonic energy. As long as there is no obstacle from the immortal body, it is impossible for the demonic energy to hide from his eyes.

"How?" the Jade Emperor said calmly. Although he seemed to be motionless, everyone knew that once Fang Xiu's answer was not ideal, Li Jing would be struck by a thunderbolt immediately.

Li Jing also had a calm face at this time, as if he was confident and not panicked at all.

Fang Xiu nodded: "He's fine."

"Very good, Aiqing has passed the test, and I can rest assured to entrust you with important tasks."

Afterwards, the Jade Emperor revealed his plan to send him to capture Sun Wukong, and Li Jing immediately accepted the order.

Later, the Jade Emperor directly called several immortal gods, including the Arctic Ziwei Emperor, the Antarctic Eternal Life Palace Emperor, the Fengdu Emperor, etc...

Although many of them are not well-known in later generations, they are definitely considered to be high-ranking and powerful in heaven.

What surprised Fang Xiu the most was that there was one without official position among them.

This man has outstanding temperament, solemn expression, tall and mighty, wearing silver armor, holding a three-pointed two-edged gun, and a very eye-catching vertical pupil on his forehead.

Seeing this person's image, Fang Xiu knew who he was without any introduction.

Guanjiangkou Erlang shows his true sage, Erlang God!

In myths and legends, there is an existence that can tie with Sun Wukong.

After the Jade Emperor called several top immortals and gods, he stated his purpose straightforwardly. Then all the immortals and gods proved to themselves one by one that none of them had been invaded by demonic energy.

Such a result is not beyond Fang Xiu's expectation. The current time period is the early stage of the invasion of the other side. Compared with the Three Realms, the other side is weak. If in the early stage, the other side has infected many top immortals , there will be no need to fight in Tianting.

"From this point of view, among the top immortals, only the Queen Mother of the West is infected." Fang Xiu's calm voice sounded.

After he finished speaking, he frowned slightly, feeling that he had forgotten something important.

"The Queen Mother of the West is the most holy, and she has lived in Kunlunxu for a long time without going out. Even we are not infected. How did the Queen Mother of the West become infected?" Emperor Ziwei of the Arctic asked the doubts in his heart.

However, there is currently no answer to this question.

"Perhaps, the answer can only be known after the true face of Queen Mother Xi is completely exposed." The Jade Emperor's voice was heavy, as if the infection of Queen Mother Xi made him worried.

"Everyone, please retreat according to the plan of Nuwa's successor. Don't arouse others' suspicion." Following the Jade Emperor's order, all the gods retreated.

In this drama, except for Erlang Shen, the others don't have to play, but that doesn't mean they don't have anything to do.

What they have to do is to go back and screen their disciples, find the infected, and keep an eye on the movements of the Queen Mother of the West.

It can be said that after this meeting, the entire heaven became undercurrents, and the contest between the gods and demons officially kicked off.

After taking everyone away, Fang Xiu suddenly asked: "It seems that Heavenly Court does not all divide strength according to official positions."

The Jade Emperor smiled lightly: "I almost forgot, you are a descendant, so you don't know about this. But you are wondering why other top immortal gods are in high positions and dominate one side, such as Li Jing, the king of the tower. He is a righteous god, commanding hundreds of thousands of heavenly soldiers and generals, but Yang Jian has no official position, but he can still be among the top immortal gods? "

Fang Xiu nodded. He was indeed wondering about the division of strength in Heaven. Official positions could not completely summarize the strength.

The Jade Emperor explained: "Because the Shinto path is divided into two paths, one is to become a god through faith, collect the faith of all people, build a kingdom of God outwards, and become a god with the power of faith; the other is to become a god through power, and all the great power is attributed to oneself and directed towards the gods. Open up the world within and become a god by yourself.”

Fang Xiu's mind moved. Building a kingdom of God outside and opening up the world inside? He absorbed the beliefs of Xia Kingdom and turned Xia Kingdom into a kingdom of God, which was the path of becoming a god through faith. The Kingdom of Taotie was in the stomach of Taotie, which should be the path of opening up the world inside.

He had been thinking about a question before. How could a demon god like Taotie, who only knew how to eat, take such a complicated path of becoming a god through faith? It turned out that he became a god through strength.

"You were chosen, so your talent is naturally top-notch, but you took the path of becoming a god through faith. This shows that the heavenly way is weak in the future, and the cultivation environment is extremely declining. There are no more people who become gods through strength in the world."

Fang Xiu nodded. After listening to the words of the Jade Emperor, he understood why Yan Luo and others, and even all the gods, became gods through faith. Because the cultivation environment in the future is not as good as that in ancient times, they can only become gods through faith. Faith gods consume fewer resources and can use the power of the people to complete the transformation of people and gods.

"Is becoming a god through strength better than becoming a god through faith?" he asked.

The Jade Emperor shook his head slightly: "There is no distinction between strong and weak in the Tao. The Tao has different paths but the same destination. However, in terms of combat power, those who prove the Tao with force are naturally better at the same level.

After becoming a god, the two paths are divided into the path of the righteous god and the path of the heavenly god. The righteous god is the one who believes in becoming a god and accepts the canonization of the heaven. His true name is included in the heavenly way. Every move is blessed by the will of heaven and he acts on behalf of heaven.

The heavenly god is the one who understands the heavenly way, engraves the will of heaven on himself, and regards himself as heaven.

Like the Pagoda Heavenly King, he is a righteous god and holds the first rank.

Like Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, they are heavenly gods. Although they have no official rank, their strength is not weaker than that of the first rank righteous god, or even stronger."
