Zhen Yuanzi asked Qingfeng Mingyue to take away the alchemy plate and put a table full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, as well as fine nectar and jade liquid, before he said unhurriedly:
"Based on fellow Taoist's cultivation, ordinary achievements and authority must be looked down upon. Then, there are not many forces to choose from, only a few."
Renn smiled noncommittally.
"First, become a disciple of the saint and become the direct descendant of the Three Pure Ones. Second, join the Heavenly Court or the Buddhist sect. Third, join the Emperor Wa. That's it. The Demon Master's Palace and the Netherworld Sea of Blood are not enough to make fellow Taoists surrender."
"Although Sanqing's Taoism is profound, I don't want to become a disciple. Emperor Wa has been away from the world for a long time, so I'm afraid he won't want me." Ren replied.
"Then the only choice is heaven and Buddhism."
"According to Taoist friends, should I choose heaven or Buddhism?"
Both Heavenly Court and Buddhism meet the conditions for main task 1, but which one you choose is very different and will affect the subsequent series of layouts, so you must be careful.
Speaking of this, Zhen Yuanzi was obviously hesitant. He thought carefully for a moment and then said cautiously:
"I suggest fellow Taoist choose Heavenly Court."
"Why?"
"Although Lingshan Buddhism is powerful, Heaven is the nominal master of the three realms. Moreover, fellow Taoist, your current practice method is closer to the authentic Taoism. You went to Lingshan to practice Buddhism, so you need to adapt."
Zhen Yuanzi paused for a moment before adding, "As far as I know, the position of the Four Emperors of Heaven is still vacant. Although the future Buddha among the three Buddhas of Buddhism is also vacant, it is basically determined to be Maitreya Bodhisattva.
Maitreya has already received the support of the Two Saints of the West, and if you join Buddhism now, it will be impossible to squeeze him out!"
"Maitreya Bodhisattva has received the support of the two saints?"
"Yes, this is what Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of the Buddha, told me. It is still confidential information, so fellow Taoists must not make it public."
Zhen Yuanzi asked with a serious expression.
If it wasn't for the favor of Lord Xingluo, he wouldn't have revealed this secret information.
Ren was a little surprised.
After the "System Mission" was released, he had calculated and knew that there were still vacancies for the Four Emperors and the Third Buddha, but he really didn't know that Maitreya Bodhisattva had already received the support of the Second Saint of Buddhism.
Competition in the future is also fierce.
Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva... are all competitors for the future Buddha.
But Maitreya Bodhisattva has the support of the two Buddhist saints, so absolutely no one can compete with him. When it comes to saints, even Tathagata Buddha is powerless.
If he went to Buddhism now, he would not be able to compete with Maitreya, and would most likely accompany the prince to study...
"Thank you fellow Taoist for the warning."
Ren cupped his hand and solemnly thanked him.
In his mind, he was also inclined to join Tianting, because the Buddhist philosophy was really not to his liking, but he also had a little hesitation.
If the position of "Future Buddha" is easily available, it may not be impossible to make do with it.
But now...
MMP, Buddhism is like a sinkhole.
Once the third Buddha is determined, it will be difficult to change it, unless Ren can find a way to kill one of them, but doing so will definitely alarm the two saints of Buddhism.
It's too troublesome, it's better to go to heaven.
"What about the situation in heaven?" Ren asked.
Zhen Yuanzi took a sip of the immortal brew and said eloquently: "The previous Emperor Gouchen died unexpectedly, and it is still an unsolved case. However, the position of the Four Emperors cannot be vacant for a long time. Currently, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother and others are selecting suitable candidates.
, Emperor Zhenwu, Xuannv Jiutian, Taiyi Kutianzun, Dongwanggong, Emperor Dongyue... are all candidates."
"..."
It doesn't sound easy to get it either.
With so many powerful giants competing for a position, you can imagine how fierce the competition is.
Renn is not afraid of these big guys, but he doesn't take it for granted that he can definitely squeeze them out. The position of the Four Imperial Guards cannot be achieved by force alone, but also requires connections and reputation.
Unfortunately, he has little reputation and no connections or background.
The disadvantage is huge. If you just recommend yourself, there is a high chance that you will be a companion again...
Zhen Yuanzi said: "Brother Yu can go to heaven and recommend fellow Taoists, but fellow Taoists don't have high expectations. There are many competitors with great supernatural powers, and there may be support from other great emperors and even saints.
For example, Taiyi saves the suffering god, but behind it is the moral god.
Emperor Zhenwu, behind him is Yuanshi Tianzun.
Jiutian Xuannv may have the support of the Jade Emperor.
Duke Dongwang has the support of the Queen Mother."
Renn: "..."
When you say that, I almost want to switch to Buddhism.
This is too damn curly.
I never expected that in the world of mythology, I still couldn't escape the circle of fighting for my father, background, and connections...
"Fellow Taoist can just make a recommendation when you have time. Leave other matters to me."
Ren knew that Zhen Yuanzi couldn't be of much help in this matter, so he didn't make any excessive demands and just asked the other party to nominate him.
"There is nothing you can't do."
Zhen Yuanzi readily agreed.
Recommending a person to the Jade Emperor is just a matter of effort. Although he himself is not in the system of Heaven, he still has a little face as a great leader.
Of course, there are more things that he can't do anything about. The position of the Four Emperors is not a third-rate priesthood. There are too many big bosses watching.
Renn drank the holy spring of fairy brew and then asked:
"In the Three Realms, who is the strongest among the saints?"
"Of course it's the Jade Emperor, the Great Heavenly Lord, the World-Honored Tathagata." Zhen Yuanzi replied without thinking.
Ren was surprised, his face remained calm, and he said:
"Oh, why is that?"
"You have been hiding from the world for too long, and you don't know anything. The bodies of the Jade Emperor and Tathagata Buddha have all been killed, and the six qi have gone away, and the prototype of the Hunyuan Tao Fruit has been condensed... You are only one step away from the saint, and your strength exceeds that of the old Taoist.
Styx, as well as Kunpeng and other great powers."
Zhen Yuanzi said with a little emotion on his face.
The Jade Emperor, the Tathagata was of extraordinary origin, with mysterious roots, was born with great opportunities, and was burdened with great fortune. However, after all, he attained enlightenment far behind him, but now he has caught up from behind.
The three corpses are chopped off, the six qi are gone, and the Dao fruit takes shape?
Ren was secretly shocked.
This is a bit scary.
According to his deduction, several Hunyuan saints in this world are not at the bottom at the beginning of the seventh level, which is roughly equivalent to the level of godhead 23, the immortal who covers the sky and the world.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The Jade Emperor and Tathagata Buddha are a bit awesome. They are only one step away from the Hunyuan Saint, and are at least as good as the fifth and sixth generations of Emperor Ye Tian.
Of course, this is just talking about the realm and specific combat effectiveness. It’s hard to say without observation.
"It's amazing to come from behind."
Ren praised in admiration, but he felt wary in his heart.
You have to be more careful when facing the Jade Emperor and Buddha in the future, he may not be their opponent for the time being.
He also understood the specific divisions of the quasi-sage realm.
In the early stage of quasi-sage, he killed a corpse and reached the peak of the sixth level. His state was equivalent to covering the sky and becoming a Taoist.
In the middle stage of the quasi-sage, two corpses were cut off, and he was at the peak of the sixth level, and his realm was equivalent to that of a peak emperor.
In the late stage of the Quasi-Sage, the three corpses have been cut off, the six qi have been eliminated, and the seventh level is reached in half a step, which is equivalent to entering the level of the Heavenly Emperor for the first time?
The pinnacle of quasi-sage, the embryonic form of Dao Fruit, half a step to the seventh level, equivalent to the Emperor of Heaven who has passed half of the mortal world?
That's more or less the case, after all, he has never fought against each other before...
"Brother Taoist, how about a discussion on Taoism?"
Renn suggested with a smile.
Zhen Yuanzi, as a giant at the beginning of the creation of the world, should now be in the late stage of the quasi-sage. He has killed three corpses, but he has not yet condensed the prototype of the Taoist Fruit, which is a step behind the Emperor of Heaven and the Buddha.
But even so, his realm is much higher than him.
The completion of his holy body is equivalent to the early stage of quasi-sage, and there is still some way to go before the peak of quasi-sage.
"There is nothing you can't do."
Zhen Yuanzi smiled and nodded.
Xingluo Daojun has become a quasi-sage, and it will be beneficial to both of us to discuss the Tao.
The two of them came to a long pavilion outside the main hall and sat down to talk.
Suddenly, the sound of Taoism was faint, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses surged from the ground, colorful lights surrounded them, symbols of the Immortal Taoism flashed, and the mysterious Taoist rhyme spread throughout the Wuzhuang Temple.
Zhen Yuanzi is worthy of being a great supernatural being who has achieved enlightenment since the beginning of the world. His knowledge and understanding of the avenue have benefited Renne a lot.
Similarly, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes also lit up with those modified and unique ideas in Ren's "Xing Zun Sutra".
"The acupoints of the body and mind, the cave in the body, the power of gods and demons...wonderful!"
Zhen Yuanzi was a little touched, his body glowed with immortal immortal light, Tao Yun purple energy surrounded him, his whole aura also changed, and his Tao practice improved even though it was just a trace, it still made him feel happy.
If he wants to make progress in his realm, it will be extremely difficult.
So every time Yuanshi Tianzun invited him to Miluo Palace to listen to the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, he would go.
As the two discussed Taoism, fairy flowers bloomed inside and outside the pavilion, sweet rain fell from the sky, divine springs gushed from the ground, purple gas transpired, and the breeze and bright moonlight illuminated the two Taoist boys standing aside, mesmerized.
Finally, dozens of Zhen Yuanzi's disciples were also alarmed and gathered one after another, not daring to disturb the master. They sat outside the pavilion and listened to the two men's discussion.
There are no Jiazi in the mountains, and it is so cold that I don’t know the year.
This discussion lasted three years.
This is the case in the world of mythology. Time is worthless. The more powerful you are, the longer you will spend in retreat. It is common to realize Taoism once and for thousands of years.
"The righteous path of earthly immortals has profound blessings, is broad and profound, and my fellow Taoists have pioneered this path, which is admirable."
At the end of the discussion, Ren smiled while stroking his palms. Infinite Tao accumulation was flowing in his eyes, the vitality on his body was filled with immortal light, and his domineering aura was completely restrained. Compared with before, he felt a little more back to his original nature.
He also gained a lot.
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head, with admiration in his eyes, and said:
"Fellow Taoist's technique has taken a different approach, forging a leak-proof holy embryo and an immortal golden body. In terms of body refining, he is considered to be the strongest in the three realms. He does not let the Eight-nine Mysterious Techniques and the Tathagata's golden body be more beautiful than before. With this kind of atmosphere, the old Taoist is also open to the world.
Vision.”
Only then did he vaguely realize that Xingluo Daojun was powerful, had an immortal golden body, and fought against the holy law. Such a path could not be imagined with common sense.
Hearing the two big guys exchanging business blows, dozens of brothers remained silent in the clear breeze and bright moon.
They did not dare to disturb the two of them, so they bowed to the pavilion and retreated on their own.
Ren was about to say something when he suddenly felt something in his heart and opened his mouth to speak.
"Shua"
A stream of green energy rolled and spread out on the long table, turning into the light and shadow of rivers, mountains, states, cities and counties, like a holographic projection, with images of common people and heroes flashing on it.
This is the scene in China at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
The Yellow Turban Army revived, gathered millions of people, reversed the situation, and wiped out the imperial army. The Thirty-sixth Route Rebels, led by the Digong General Zhang Bao and the Renggong General Zhang Liang, attacked the capital Luoyang.
For a time, the world was in shock.
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty was in great distress and ordered the garrison from all over the country to rescue Luoyang and fight against the Yellow Turban Army.
Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu, Liu Bei and others led their armies one after another to respond to the emperor's call and went to Beijing to serve the king.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army had already reached Hulao Pass, and the war was about to break out.
"What a great show."
Ren En looked at the scene of wars all over the land of Kyushu and said with a smile, "The situation of killing the wolf has been broken. The Jade Emperor's face must not look good."
"It happened."
When Zhen Yuanzi saw this, he counted with his fingers and roughly understood what had happened. He was a little surprised, "Cangtian is dead, Huangtian is standing, this and this -"
He was a little speechless.
This is simply Hong Guoguo's provocation to the Jade Emperor.
It's like a minister shouting in the court - The emperor takes turns, come to my house this year!
"Do you know whose handiwork this is?" Ren asked.
Zhen Yuanzi is well-informed and may know who the Taoist sect leader whose pseudonym is Zhang Jiao is.
"this……"
Zhen Yuanzi wanted to speak but stopped.
Judging from his appearance, he really knew who he was.
"Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I won't disclose it to anyone," Renn promised, looking at him eagerly.
Curiosity, really too much curiosity.
Zhen Yuanzi had a little hesitation on his face. He waved his hand and laid down a white Taoist barrier before saying:
"Do you know about the Five Elders of the Five Directions?"
"Of course, the Three Pure Ones, Four Imperial Guards and Five Elders. The Five Directions and Five Elders are the most respected positions after the Four Imperial Guards. They are very powerful and are outside the system of Heaven."
Ren replied.
The Five Directions and Five Elders were mentioned by the Seven Fairies during the Peach Festival in Journey to the West.
The meeting has its own old rules. The people invited are Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, holy monks, Arhats in the West, Guanyin in the South and South Pole, Holy Emperor Chong'en in the East, Immortals from Ten Continents and Three Islands, Xuanling from the North Pole, Great Immortal Huangjiao from the Central Yellow Pole, this
They are the Five Directions and the Five Elders.
Buddha of the West, this is easy to understand, refers to Tathagata Buddha.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tathagata Buddha has a very high status. Not only can he attend the peach festival, but he can also bring a group of people with him.
South Antarctic Guanyin refers to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
The Holy Emperor of Dongfang Chong'en should be Duke Dong. He is in charge of ten continents and three islands. As an ancient god, he has a high status.
The North Arctic Xuanling is most likely the Zhenwu Emperor.
The central yellow pole and yellow horned immortal is a bit mysterious. I don’t know who it is.
Thinking of this, Ren suddenly had an idea and said:
"you mean--"
"That's right, I'm afraid it was the one who did this, the Yellow Turban Army, Huang Tiandang Li, Zhang Jiao, Taiping Dao, who respected the so-called 'Zhonghuang Taiyi' as the Emperor of Heaven. He has his style. He doesn't think the Jade Emperor
It’s been pleasing to the eye for a long time.”
Zhen Yuanzi smiled bitterly.
Renn: "..."
Good guy, it turns out that Zhang Jiao is the vest of Huangji Huangjiao Immortal.
At first glance, the central Huangji Huangjiao Immortal is ranked at the bottom of the Five Elders. Compared with the famous bosses in front of him, he seems to be just making up the numbers.
Unexpectedly, this great immortal was so brave and dared to give eye drops to the Jade Emperor like this. Emperor Zhenwu and Guanyin Bodhisattva may not have such courage.
Zhang Jiao founded Taiping Dao, Huangjin Army, Huang Tiandang was established, and respected "Zhonghuang Taiyi" as the new emperor of heaven. It was the Central Huangji Huangjiao Immortal who did not run away.
But, how dare he?
"Isn't he afraid that the Jade Emperor will deal with him?"
"It's difficult. The Five Directions and the Five Elders, to put it bluntly, are the five mountains outside the heavenly system. For example, the Lingshan World Honored One only respects the Jade Emperor on the surface. Can the Jade Emperor interfere in the internal affairs of Lingshan Mountain?" Zhen Yuanzi
He said calmly.
"..."
It seems so.
Lingshan and Tianting are not considered a force in any way, and even the systems are considered separately.
Of course, the Buddha has the final say in the internal affairs of Lingshan, and the Jade Emperor has no right to interfere.
"look."
Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand, and a white light passed by.
It illuminated the void, and I saw a precious mirror floating above the cities and counties in the Central Plains.
This precious mirror is neither gold nor jade. It has ancient seal script with tadpole inscriptions and the shape of clouds, dragons and strange birds on the back. The front is glowing with green light, as if three thousand worlds are opening up, and the atmosphere of chaos is permeated.
Haotian Mirror!
The Haotian Mirror is suspended on the land of the Central Plains, flowing with clear light, gathering the power of the stars in the sky, suppressing time and space, forming a huge barrier of divine power, and all forces that exceed the second-level foundation building period will be rejected.
This means that all immortals cannot take action.
Even if a person with great supernatural powers can resist the power of the Haotian Mirror, his position and true identity will be revealed immediately, and he will be at odds with the Jade Emperor.
"So that's it, so it's a literary fight." Ren suddenly realized.
"If we fight by force, it might lead to calamity. The painful lessons of the Conferred God War are still fresh in my mind." Zhen Yuanzi said.
In the Battle of the Gods, the disciples and grandsons of the Sanqing Dynasty supported Xiqi and Shangtang, and ended up fighting and fighting. As a result, the conflict became more and more intense until it could not be ended.
Hongjun in this world is not the Taoist ancestor, nor is he the master of the Six Saints. He has almost never appeared.
The Emperor of Heaven is naturally not Hongjun's boy. The cause of the Conferred God War was the internal fighting among the Three Qing Dynasties.
Because of the painful lessons of the Battle of the Gods, and the subsequent historical evolution of the human world, the immortals rarely intervened directly. If they wanted to intervene, they would descend into incarnations, or reincarnate as true spirits, walk around the human world, and return to the throne of gods after death.
This time, although the Jade Emperor was angry, he did not intend to escalate the incident.
The Haotian Mirror hanging high in Kyushu is a kind of deterrent. Immortals can take action, but they must abide by the rules of the game.
Behind Wen Dou, there may be a bet. If the Yellow Turban Army fails against the will of heaven, the Central Huangji Huangjiao Immortal will definitely have to pay some price.
"interesting."
Ren looked at the evolution of the situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and said, "This game is about to end. I'll go over and have a look."
Three years ago, he had already made a decision, and a ray of spiritual thought was thrown into the Changshan Cave area of Beiyue.
"Then I'll join in and go with you."
Zhen Yuanzi smiled and pointed out.
A bit of white aura instantly flew out of Wanshou Mountain, fell into the Central Plains, and transformed into a veteran general.
The two closed their eyes, and their consciousness communicated with that ray of spiritual thought.
………
Capital City, Luoyang.
Hulao Pass, also known as Sishui Pass, Chenggao Pass and Guxiao Pass, is the gateway and important pass to the east of Luoyang.
At this time, two huge armies were stationed here and were confronting each other.
One group is the Yellow Turban Army, which wants to capture Luoyang, kill Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, sacrifice to heaven, and rebuild the world.
The other group is the Qinwang army from all walks of life, coming to escort him.
Imperial Court VS Yellow Turban Army.
It was October, outside Hulao Pass, the north wind was howling, the flags were like a forest, the war horses were neighing, and the continuous military tents could not be seen at a glance, and the atmosphere was solemn.
"drive!"
A young general in white robes led an elite cavalry force of several hundred people, galloping on horseback, approaching Hulao Pass, but did not join any party.
They stopped in the distance, waiting for an opportunity to move.
There are many similar small groups.
Not long after, a veteran general with a half-white beard and hair, wearing plate armor, carrying a powerful bow on his back, and holding a broadsword, also arrived here with a group of archers.
"Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
The young general in white robes had handsome features and an extraordinary bearing. He was dressed in a white python and a white waistcoat with blue trim, a trousers helmet, thick-soled boots, and held a silver gun in his hand as he greeted the veteran general.
"Nanyang Huang Zhong."
The veteran raised his hands and clasped his fists in return.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and asked their subordinates to join together. Although there were only over a thousand people in total, the archers and cavalry were all elite.
Zhao Yun looked at the two camps confronting each other outside Hulao Pass, his eyes bright and clear, and he said:
"Brother Dao, do you think the Yellow Turban Army has a chance of winning?"
"It's hard, it's hard."
Huang Zhong shook his head and said three difficult words in a row, expressing his disdain for the Yellow Turban Army.
Although in terms of numbers, the Yellow Turban Army had more troops, the quality was far behind. Most of them were farmers and their equipment was poor. Not to mention armor, many of them were still carrying hoes and rakes.
He looked at King Qin's army guarding Hulao Pass and explained:
"Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Diao Chan, Lu Bu... there are many familiar atmospheres, and the Jade Emperor is still powerful."
Compared with the ragtag Yellow Turban Army, the various heroes in King Qin's Army are not fuel-efficient lamps.
"Who are these immortals?"
The young man in white robe Zhao Leien said curiously.
He could only recognize that Diao Chan should be Fairy Chang'e, a beautiful woman with skin as thick as gelatin, lingering in the aura of the lunar calendar, cold eyes, and a noble temperament.
The characteristics are too obvious, a little red among the greenery.
"Liu Bei should be the Antarctic Immortal Emperor, Dong Zhuo is the Tianpeng Marshal, Cao Cao... eh, the Jade Emperor?"
Huang Zhong raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Zhao Lei'en: "..."
Good guy, the Jade Emperor turned out to be a thief.
It seemed that he was indeed furious and personally dismissed the army.
