Chapter 241 [Tit-for-Tat, Compromise and Concession] (Subscribe)
Conferring the gods?
Xuanqing didn't think that Hongjun's purpose would be so simple. The Heavenly Court was thriving before, but he watched the Heavenly Court and the gods fall. Now that Luohou hasn't been dealt with, the other party wants to confer the gods again?
Is the other party dissatisfied that the Three Pure Ones have sidelined Haotian? Or is he dissatisfied that the Emperor of Heaven is on duty, and his two boys are just decorations in the current Heavenly Court?
Moreover, he can see that the "Conferring the Gods List" was really destroyed by Luohou before, but now it has been re-condensed by Daozu Hongjun with the power of the Heavenly Dao!
Before the witch and demon catastrophe, there was no God in the world. Those innate gods held various powers, so why did they need to be conferred by the "Conferring the Gods List"?
The twelve ancestors of the witch clan each hold a law, and can also be called witch gods, which are more powerful than those innate gods.
But in the end, only Xuanming survived. After Hou Tu was reincarnated, she lost the authority of earth that she originally held as the ancestor of earth. Although Ju Mang retained a little innate spiritual light and was able to reincarnate and cultivate again, he no longer had the authority of wood that he held when he was the ancestor of wood!
Hongjun seemed to be deliberately bringing all kinds of authority into the control of the Heavenly Dao. Otherwise, why would there be a need for the "List of Conferred Gods" to confer titles on all gods?
Not only Xuanqing, Taiqing Laozi also saw this point, and immediately smiled and said: "Don't bother, teacher. Although the gods in the heavenly court suffered disasters this time, several emperors and the eight main gods are still alive. As long as the prehistoric tribes work together, rebuilding the heavenly court is not a difficult task!"
"Teacher, you are in harmony with the way of heaven, and you should maintain the stability of the prehistoric world and balance the way of earth and humanity. You should think about how to solve the scourge of Luohou!"
"Luohou, this guy, is ambitious and intends to reverse the prehistoric world. Last time he targeted the four poles, and this time he invited several chaotic demons to subvert the heavenly court. It is really a big scourge of the prehistoric world!"
"Please help, flatten the demon world, suppress Luohou, and clean up the universe!"
Taiqing Laozi's meaning is very clear. They will worry about the matters of the heavenly court and the conferred gods, and Hongjun doesn't need to call them to make comments.
If the other party really intends to do something, it is better to target Luohou, the scourge!
"It's not me who's meddling!"
Hongjun's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "It's just that you have excluded Haotian and let Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan and others take turns to be the Emperor of Heaven, which is unfair and not conducive to the balance and stability of the order of the Heavenly Dao! If one day, they join the embrace of the Human Dao, wouldn't it affect the perfection of the Heavenly Dao?"
Tongtian Sect Master heard this and immediately laughed softly: "The Heavenly Dao is not perfect, and the Human Dao is not full. There are fifty great ways, and there is still one that escapes. The teacher is detached from the world, so why should we force the perfection of the Heavenly Dao?"
Yuanshi Tianzun also said: "Third brother, what you said makes sense. As saints of the Heavenly Dao, we only need to maintain the stability of the prehistoric world. Forcing perfection may... bring disaster rather than blessing!"
Nuwa remained silent.
Taixuan looked like an old god.
"I'm doing this for your own good!"
Hongjun continued, "You are all saints of the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao is perfect, you will be able to control more Heavenly Dao power and authority! Isn't it just a matter of a word for your Dao to flourish?"
Taiqing Laozi was sharp-tongued, "The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contention. It stays in the midst of all evil, so it is close to the Dao! Teacher, the general trend of the Heavenly Dao is that when it is at its peak, it will decline, and when it is at its peak, it will flourish. Is there any Dao in the world that is always prosperous? Junior Brother Tongtian's Jiejiao is strong, but didn't it suffer a disaster this time?"
"Therefore, I think that everything should be left to nature, and there is no need to force perfection!"
"If the teacher really wants the prehistoric Heavenly Dao to be perfect, why not give the two primordial purple qi? If the nine saints of the Heavenly Dao are born together, wouldn't it be easy for the Heavenly Dao to be perfect?"
Taiqing Laozi showed his true colors and asked for the "primordial purple qi". Since you want the Heavenly Dao to be perfect, then give the foundation for becoming a saint first!
Hongjun frowned when he heard this: "I said that when the destined person is born, whoever of you can accept him as your disciple will be given the Hongmeng Purple Qi by me. Don't you believe what I said?"
"Why bother?"
Xuanqing said immediately: "Now that fellow Daoist Taixuan has become a saint by becoming the disciple of the master uncle, Daozu only needs to give the two Hongmeng Purple Qi to the teacher and the second master uncle!"
"In this way, Daozu is fair!"
He could see that Hongjun didn't want to give the two "Hongmeng Purple Qi" to Sanqing, but some things can only be known after trying.
What if?
Seeing Hongjun was silent, Xuanqing continued, "Could it be that Daozu didn't want to give the two primordial purple qi to the teacher and the second uncle? Didn't Daozu say that after the Heavenly Dao was perfected, the Xuanmen Dao would prosper? Why didn't he want to let the three Xuanmen religions have two more Heavenly Dao saints? Isn't this contradictory?"
Hongjun is in harmony with the Heavenly Dao, and his strength is definitely the strongest among all the saints, but Xuanqing is sure that the constraints he is subject to are also the strongest among all the saints.
This is also his confidence!
"Oh, right!"
Then, Xuanqing spit out another piece of news: "After I proved the Dao, Pangu took away the Earth-opening Chisel by some means! Daozu occupies the Heavenly Dao, so be careful of Pangu's reckoning!"
As soon as these words came out, Hongjun's expression changed immediately: "Daoyou, are you kidding me?"
"I swear to the Great Dao!"
Xuanqing said solemnly.
It is not a good idea to continue to stalemate with Hongjun here. It is better to borrow Pangu's reputation to intimidate Hongjun, the former demon god of creation.
Sanqing is indeed a bit of a threat to Hongjun, but compared with Pangu, it pales in comparison!
After all, even the way of heaven was shaped by Pangu’s supreme means!
Swear to the road!
This is no joke!
If you take the oath of heaven, as long as you leave the prehistoric world and leave the scope of heaven, heaven will not be able to drive you out and kill you.
But the Great Dao is endless chaos, boundless universe, infinite time and space, infinite dimensions, everywhere. As long as you do not transcend the chaotic universe, the Great Dao Oath has great binding force on you.
Among the people Xuan Qing knew, so far, perhaps only Pangu dared to disobey the Dao, but his current state was that he did not know whether he would live or die.
Hongjun's expression moved, fairy light circulated around him, and two "Hongmeng Purple Qi" appeared in his hands, but he still did not want to compromise easily.
He looked at Xuan Qing and said: "Everything I do is for the sake of balance. Fellow Taoist has become a disciple of Tongtian Sect and has now attained the Tao of Hunyuan Da Luo Jinxian. If the old Taoist gives the Hongmeng Purple Qi again, won't it cause imbalance again? How about that? Fellow Taoist, how about refining one of the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"
"Not so good?"
Xuan Qing said coldly.
He finally realized the Daluo of Hunyuan and got rid of the shackles of the Great Dao on the Chaos Demon God. How could he be willing to let his own soul be controlled by the way of heaven?
impossible!
Hongjun is now in line with the way of heaven. If he places his soul in the way of heaven, wouldn't his avenue be clear to Hongjun's eyes?
He glanced at Nuwa next to him: "If Dao Ancestor really wants to pursue fairness, he can also give this Hongmeng Purple Qi to Empress Nuwa!"
Nuwa is now the new demon of creation, and she is also the target of Hongjun's attempt to reduce and seek space. However, things in the world are unpredictable, and Nuwa may not be willing to be controlled by Hongjun.
Sanqing also discussed with him several times and believed that Nuwa could win over to their side.
Therefore, when he saw Hongjun "in trouble", he immediately handed over one of the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" to Nuwa Empress for disposal.
This was not only a gesture of goodwill to Empress Nuwa, but also a test of Taoist ancestor Hongjun's attitude.
after all……
If Fuxi had a "Hongmeng Purple Qi", he might also be able to become a heavenly saint!
But Nuwa shook her head: "It is useless for the disciples to ask for Hongmeng Purple Qi. Teacher should give it to Senior Brother Yuanshi and Senior Brother Tongtian!"
What's going on?
Whether it was Sanqing or Xuanqing, they couldn't help but be stunned. Nuwa didn't care about Fuxi anymore? Or did he find another way for Fuxi to attain enlightenment?
In the prehistoric world, it would be extremely difficult to attain the Daluo Jinxian of Hunyuan. If Xuanqing had not possessed the rich heritage of his predecessor as the Demon God of Destiny, there would have been little hope of attaining enlightenment!
Even Hongjun showed a look of astonishment, and then returned to normal and said: "In that case, let's give this Hongmeng Purple Qi to Yuanshi! As for the remaining one, let's leave it to the destined person!"
As he said that, in order to avoid Sanqing's thoughts, he directly sent the remaining "Hongmeng Purple Qi" into the prehistoric world using the power of heaven.
"Thank you teacher!"
As for Yuanshi Tianzun, he put away another "Hongmeng Purple Qi" and nodded slightly towards Taoist Ancestor Hongjun, but there was not much respect.
Only if Dao Ancestor Hongjun can be made to compromise and obtain one of the "Hongmeng Purple Qi", and one more saint can be taught, the possibility of replacing the other person will increase.
So far, he still can't see through the other party's true and false, so it's best not to rush to show off.
As for the last "Hongmeng Purple Qi", was it Taoist Hongjun's way of hiding it from others, or did he really send it into the prehistoric world...
He didn't know either.
"God List!"
Hongjun reminded lightly: "To canonize the gods in heaven, you must use the Gods List! Otherwise, the earth and humanity may seize the power of the gods!"
"Heaven has fallen and all the gods have been destroyed. You also need to rebuild the heaven with all the heavens!"
"In addition, when the two people who are destined to be catastrophic are born within ten yuanhui, the Hongmeng Purple Qi will also choose one of them as the master!"
"Pindao's words are still valid!"
This time, Hongjun's attitude was much tougher. Since he was given a "Hongmeng Purple Qi", Sanqing could not fool him on the matter of becoming a god.
Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand a little more, and Haotian's true spirit flew out of Yuanshi Tianzun's sleeves, and Kuigang's soul also flew out of Tongtian Sect's sleeves.
Haotian couldn't help but be overjoyed!
Kui Gang, on the other hand, had a terrifying look on his face, worried that he would be killed by Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
"Haotian, from now on, you can practice with me in Zixiao Palace!" Hongjun glanced at Haotian, then looked at Kuigang's soul: "Demons are also Tao! You also follow Haotian to stay here In the Zixiao Palace!"
"yes!"
Qui-Gon didn't dare refuse.
Xuan Qing couldn't help but frown slightly. Haotian's Hongjun boy, what the other party did was not surprising. Why should Kui Gang be left behind?
