"Little friend, if you are willing to help me transcend, I can't help but express it. I will give you this drop of ancestral witch essence and blood, and also give you the Nine Transformations Mysterious Technique. I hope you will practice it well..."
"Thank you, Heavenly Lord!"
After leaving Yuxu Palace, Cheng Long took the three-headed demonic dragon sealed by Taiyi Master, turned into a stream of light, and fled into the distance.
The disciples of Chanjiao who were guarding outside the palace returned to the palace one after another and continued to listen to the saint's teachings.
But this time Cihang, Keliusun, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Randeng Taoist clearly noticed that the master (leader) looked at them differently.
This made the five people feel like they were sitting on pins and needles, with rays on their backs, and felt extremely uneasy.
Sure enough.
Yuanshi Tianzun spoke eloquently as if to deal with it, then changed the subject and said to the disciples: "A hundred years ago, the Jade Emperor cried to Tao Ancestor, saying that there was no one available in the heaven, and he hoped that our sage sect would arrange some people to help the heaven. Official, assist him in managing the Three Realms, I have been hesitating as a teacher..."
"Now, I have figured it out for my teacher."
"The Jade Emperor is in charge of the three realms of heaven, earth and man, and he really needs manpower to maintain the order and tranquility of the three realms. What's more, the upcoming calamity is ultimately caused by the murderous calamity you committed while assisting the Human Emperor..."
Hearing this, the disciples in front of Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but look at each other. This was not what the Master said decades ago.
At that time, the master couldn't help but protect the calf, and his words showed disdain for the heaven. He even asked them to recruit disciples to ward off the disaster, so as not to perish in the calamity of the gods, and the true spirit was listed and died. future.
Why did Master change his mind as soon as Emperor Ziwei came today?
What did that kid say to Master?
"Master, all the gods in heaven have duties. If we enter heaven, we may be entangled in affairs, which will be detrimental to our practice. Master, please take back our orders."
Guangchengzi stood up respectfully and said anxiously.
As the only disciple of the saint in the Chan religion who is expected to break through the Daluo realm and be promoted to a quasi-sage within a thousand years, he feels that he needs to be the first person to beg the master to take back his life.
"Master, senior brother is right, you should think twice!"
"Master, in our teachings we have always valued the essence rather than the number. We have a lot of disciples. If all of them went to heaven and became immortal officials, no one would be around to serve you."
"Master~~"
"Master~~"
After Guangchengzi finished speaking, Manjusri, Qiliu Sun and other disciples began to persuade him.
It is obvious that they are all afraid of becoming officials in heaven, afraid of losing their freedom, and becoming puppets who obey the orders of the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother.
How can a disciple of a dignified saint live in a state of depression for a long time?
"Quiet!"
Yuanshi Tianzun chuckled softly, and the chattering disciples trembled and immediately sat down obediently.
The atmosphere became solemn for a moment, and the few who had made the most noise just shrank their necks in fear, not daring to look at the master.
After a long time.
Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly: "You are all elite disciples of my master. How can I ruin your future innocently? How can I know your worries?"
Hearing this, Guangchengzi blurted out, "Master, why do you still want me to wait for heaven to serve as an official?"
"Because the Immortal Officials in Heaven can be permanent gods, or they can also be used as mobile priests..." Speaking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and explained to the confused disciples: "I am preparing to win. For some priesthoods, you will be divided into two waves and become errands, rotating every thousand or three thousand years.”
call!
All the disciples breathed a long sigh of relief.
Everyone here is a Daluo Jinxian, and everyone wants to become a saint. Let them stay in the heaven all the time. No one is willing, but if they switch to a shift system and work for a thousand, three or five thousand years at a time, then there will be no problem. .
Anyway, they don't stay in seclusion all the time, and they have to go out to relax from time to time.
When you become an immortal official, you should relax and experience the world of mortals.
Wanting to understand all this, the Twelve Golden Immortals of Chanjiao, as well as the Antarctic Immortal and Yun Zhongzi, stood up excitedly, raised their hands in gratitude and said: "Master, Holy Ming, we are willing to take turns as errands to serve the heaven."
……
It was the third day of Cheng Long's retreat to refine the essence and blood of the ancestral witch.
A piece of news came out from heaven, causing shock in the three realms. All forces were confused about it, among which the Jie Sect and the Western Sect were the most important.
Because during the previous two discussions in Zixiao Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was the most noisy and protective of the calf, quietly changed his attitude and took the initiative to ask for seven gods.
The three vacant emperors among the six emperors, the Eastern Qinghua Emperor, the Antarctic Changsheng Emperor, and the Western Gouchen Emperor, were directly occupied by Chanjiao.
The other four divine positions are the four of the Five Virtues Star Lords, excluding the Taibai Star Lord. They are the Eastern Wood Virtue Chonghua Star Lord, the Southern Fire Virtue Yinghuo Star Lord, the Northern Water Virtue Serving Star Lord, and the Central Earth Virtue Earth Lord Star Lord.
However, except for the Antarctic Immortal who complemented his destiny and chose to take the initiative to refine the seal of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, the other six disciples who were officials in Heaven were all temporarily refined, and their names could not even be included in the list of gods. Manifested above.
Simply refining the divine seal meant that he could quit at any time in the future. The Jade Emperor was very dissatisfied with this, but he couldn't say much in front of the saint's disciples, so he could only hold it in his heart and hold back his anger.
Fortunately, the Antarctic Immortal is very sensible. After receiving the divine seal of the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, he actually took the initiative to completely refine the divine seal and inherited the position of the Immortal Emperor.
The return of one of the six emperors brings a lot of luck to the heaven.
Of course, the Antarctic Immortal's luck in increasing Heavenly Court is completely incomparable to that of Cheng Long. Even with the addition of six other Chanjiao disciples, Chanjiao's help to Heavenly Court is not even one-tenth of Cheng Long's.
Unless Guang Chengzi and others who were on duty in the first batch took the initiative to return to their positions, they would just receive priesthoods, help with work, and join the Heavenly Court as temporary workers, which would have a limited impact on their luck.
Time passed quietly.
Twenty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and fifty years have passed before the Conferred Gods were launched.
At the invitation of Taozu, the Six Saints gathered in Zixiao Palace again.
As soon as Master Tongtian saw his second brother Yuanshi Tianzun, he couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, why did you suddenly change your gender? You were so protective before and refused to let your disciples take responsibility, but now you have arranged for seven disciples at once Even Guang Chengzi, your most valued person, was sent to cheat Emperor Chen. This made me very confused."
"Third brother, it was my second brother who took advantage of me before. I feel that most of your disciples are rabble-rousers and are suitable to be put on the list to change their behavior..."
Before Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, Master Tongtian could no longer suppress his violent temper.
He frowned and interrupted: "Why do you mean that most of my disciples are just mobs? Why, are all your disciples full of good deeds and meritorious deities?"
"..."
Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened and he wanted to curse.
Everyone has a clear conscience about the virtues of the ten thousand immortals under the Tongtian Sect. The heart-eating Immortal Ma Yuan, as well as the fire master Luo Xuan, the sharp-mouthed Winged Immortal, the originator of Poison Pill Lu Yue and other demon immortals are all the same. A cruel person.
Of course, from the standpoint of the demon clan, demons eating humans is just like humans eating animals or spiritual beasts. They are all following the laws of the jungle, the weak and the strong. Tongtian didn't seem to care very much. He always followed the principles of Tianyan's four nines and one of them to escape, giving a glimmer of hope to the people or demons who came to be his disciples.
The tens of thousands of immortals from Jiejiao came to court, and it was precisely because Tongtian refused to refuse those who came that they were able to gather so many powerful immortals and demons.
Even if the vast majority of them are registered disciples, not even outer disciples, after entering the Jie Jiao sect, that is, under the Jie Jiao sect, all the sins and causes and effects committed by these demons and evil spirits will be revealed. Count it on the head coach.
This is also the point that Yuanshi Tianzun despises the most.
Tongtian didn't have the magic treasure to suppress luck, and now he allowed all the crooked melons and cracked jujubes to ruin his reputation. He couldn't even help him by sending some crooked melons and cracked jujubes to be listed on the list to fulfill the Taoist ancestor's instructions.
If Yuanshi Tianzun had not predicted the future in advance and knew that if he continued to cause trouble, it would only cause the Three Pure Ones to split, and he would also be fed the Meteorite Pill by his master. He would not even be in the mood to talk to Tongtian.
"Third brother, your second brother is right, you have too many evil disciples!" Taiqing said appropriately, acting as a peacemaker to prevent the situation from getting worse.
"..."
Facing his eldest brother Taiqing, Tongtian still respects him, and...among his disciples, there are indeed many who are full of murderous and evil spirits. Although they are all titled Immortal, in fact, those registered disciples and even outer disciples practice It's all the same thing as the demon clan, the weak eat the strong.
He couldn't refute this.
"Three senior brothers, you are here so early!"
While Sanqing was chatting together, Empress Nuwa, who had been staying at Emperor Wa's Heaven, quietly appeared in Yuxu Palace in a red dress, waved at Sanqing and said hello playfully.
The Nuwa in the Lotus Lantern world is different from the Nuwa who was easily bullied in the ancient world. This Nuwa empress can even hand over innate treasures like the Lotus Lantern to her young disciple Yang Chan for use. She is absolutely terrifyingly powerful.
Different worlds will develop differently. The world is named after the Lotus Lamp, which means that the most powerful innate treasure in this world is the Lotus Lamp.
As the holder of the Lotus Lamp, Nuwa is second only to Tao Ancestor in strength, but she actually belongs to the Ganges River.
Anyway, Sanqing needs Taoist ancestors who are in awe, but Nuwa doesn't have much awe.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, if you have time later, how about you come and sit in my Yuxu Palace?"
Yuanshi Tianzun warmly invited.
Regarding the first person under Daozu, if Yuanshi wanted to resist Daozu's plan, he had to try to win over Nuwa. Even if he couldn't pull her into a united front, she had to keep her neutral.
This way you have a chance of winning!
"Okay, I also want to know why you changed your mentality from resisting to becoming a god to actively accepting it." Nuwa Lanzhihui was very sincere. She could tell at a glance that there was something in Yuan Shi's words, so she agreed very readily.
After spending so long in Wahuang’s heavenly residence, it’s time to go down to earth for a walk.
"Eldest brother, third brother, you will go too soon, don't refuse, I have something important to say." Yuanshi invited Nuwa, and immediately turned around to invite Laozi and Tongtian with his heart.
The three pure beings are all transformed by the soul of the Great God Pangu. As long as they are around, they are born with telepathy. This is a spiritual ability that is different from the divine mind and can effectively shield Tao Ancestor from prying eyes.
The leader of Tongtian received the unquestionable invitation from Yuanshi Tianzun and wondered: "What can't be said in person?"
"You'll know later." Yuan Shi didn't bother to say more. After saying this, he took the initiative to cut off the spiritual link and had a secret conversation with his eldest brother, me alone.
After a while.
As the Two Saints from the West arrived at Zixiao Palace, Daozu immediately appeared on the futon in the palace and said slowly: "The canonization of gods is imminent. If you cannot discuss the list of canonized gods, then let fate decide everything. In the calamity, except for the saints, In addition, no one is immune. After death, the true spirit can become a god; if there is no fate, the body will die and the path will disappear."
Finished.
Dao Ancestor Hongjun simply closed his eyes and left the decision-making power to his six sages.
"Me first."
Yuanshi Tianzun opened the list of gods and wrote down several names directly on the list.
Among them is Yang Jian's name, and the corresponding divine position is Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun, which is the divine position that Erlang later became a saint in body and was conferred by heaven.
Then there are the three generations of disciples such as Wei Hu and Tu Xingsun.
After finishing writing.
Yuanshi Tianzun directly handed the pen to Tongtian and said: "Third brother, it's your turn."
"...Okay, I'll also write down a few names!" Tongtian reluctantly took over the writing. The second brother had almost given away all the disciples of the Chan Cult. He couldn't refuse, so he could only select some disciples who he didn't think highly of and put them on the list.
When the two Western Saints saw this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other. They had argued so fiercely the first two times, but now they didn't argue even a word and just started writing. This made them very uncomfortable.
The two of them looked at each other silently, then waved their hands to stop, saying, "Wait a minute, the Heavenly Court's six emperors explain the teaching to occupy the third, which is very inappropriate. After all, the heaven is the Jade Emperor's heaven, not the heaven of your interpretation."
"Senior Brother Yuanshi, I think you should give up the two thrones and give them to me in the West."
Hearing this, the leader of the Tongtian cult immediately scolded: "Zhunti, this is our east's business, what does it have to do with your west? You actually want to put someone in heaven to be the emperor, and you don't even look at the virtues and abilities of your disciples?"
"Tongtian, don't tell me. My disciple Maitreya has been with me since the prehistoric period to mend the earth and maintain the order of the West. Although he does not have a golden wheel of merit, he can still be called a true immortal of merit. Maitreya is fully qualified. Serve as the Western Taiji Emperor." Although Zhunti didn't know why Yuanshi and Tongtian changed their minds, it did not prevent him from deploying people to share the power of the heaven.
If Chan Jiao occupies three seats among the six emperors of Heaven, then half of the Heaven would belong to Chan Jiao.
"Zhunti, I think my disciple Xuandu is more suitable to become Emperor Gouchen..." Taiqing Laozi Feng Qingyun added calmly.
It doesn't matter the other divine positions. The Six Imperial Palaces in Heaven are the positions that many people covet.
In addition to saints like them in the entire Three Realms, even the ancestors of Blood Sea and Kunpeng are willing to become emperors, but these ancestors are too embarrassed to take the initiative to come because of their face.
"Senior Brother, you are too domineering. Senior brother and I want only one of the Six Imperial Guards in the Heavenly Court, but you are not allowed to do this?" Zhun puffed his beard and glared angrily, silently following the lead. Although he did not speak directly, he also Dissatisfaction was expressed in his eyes.
"Brother, you only have Xuandu under your command, so don't join in the fun. Whoever wants to be Emperor Gou Chen can be the emperor. Second brother, you just need to give me Emperor Dongfang Qinghua..."
Seeing that the six saints were about to reach an agreement and carve up the six emperors of heaven, Taozu, who closed his eyes and rested his mind, suddenly interrupted: "Since it is difficult for you to reach an agreement, then Yuanshi will be in charge of the list of gods and the whip of gods, waiting to measure the calamity. At the beginning, it depends on one’s destiny.”
Yuanshi: "..."
Tongtian: "..."
The Second Saint of the West: "..."
Taiqing and Nuwa: "..."
With such an obvious interruption, even a fool could see the problem.
Daozu is trying to muddy the water! (End of chapter)
