The southern sky tilted, the heavenly palace trembled, and a corner of it collapsed, alarming the High God of Xuan Qiong and the Jade Emperor.
"What happened?"
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor is sitting on the throne. He is tall and has a majestic face. At this time, due to the turmoil in the heavenly palace, some jade beads on the crown above his head shake and collide, making a soft sound.
The hall was filled with immortal energy, and the coiled dragon pillars were towering. The immortal gods standing on both sides felt the tremors of the heavenly palace, and couldn't help but look at each other, somewhat confused.
Could it be that there are demons invading heaven?
It doesn't look like it.
At this time, a golden-armored god general ran in in a hurry, knelt on one knee and said:
"Your Majesty, the sky pillar supporting the Antarctic tilted, and the Suzaku God almost manifested his true form, bleeding all over his body, causing turmoil in the heavenly palace."
"Suzaku God Lord?"
The Jade Emperor frowned slightly.
Green Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku, and Xuanwu are the four great mythical beasts in ancient times, but they all made big mistakes. In order to atone for their sins, they transformed into pillars of heaven to support the heaven.
At the same time, they are also one of the foundations of the Heavenly Palace. Each of the ancient beasts has the strength of the Great Luo Peak. Together, they can set up a four-elephant formation to protect the Lingxiao Heavenly Palace.
The Jade Emperor asked with a cold face: "What's going on? The four divine beasts and heavenly kings have turned into pillars to support the heavens. How could they be injured?"
Who can attack Tianzhu when he is full? Even if a demon attacks the heaven, he will not choose Tianzhu as his target.
"This, this..."
The golden-armored god general hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
Several immortals who were responsible for monitoring the lower world or patrolling the heavenly palace also looked frightened, with cold sweat breaking out on their foreheads.
The Jade Emperor knew roughly what had happened at a glance. It was nothing more than nonsense. He stared at the immortals and said indifferently:
"Who has news to add?"
An immortal official immediately came out, knelt down, and kowtowed:
"Your Majesty, forgive me! The true spirit of the Suzaku God Lord left his true body, secretly went to the lower world, re-condensed his legal body, and proclaimed himself the Ghost Emperor of the Netherworld in Dongsheng Divine Continent, causing trouble in the lower world for thousands of years!"
"Then why didn't you report what you knew?"
"The Lord Suzaku is threatening me. If I tell you this, I will be doomed."
The immortal official cried.
He is just a little immortal official responsible for inspecting the buildings in the heaven, how dare he offend the Suzaku God.
The Jade Emperor snorted coldly and said: "Afraid of power, if you know what you know, you will not report it, you will cut off your immortal body, be demoted to reincarnation, reincarnate as a mortal, and never be employed!"
The immortal official cried and begged for mercy, but no one spoke for him. Several law enforcement officials immediately took him into custody.
Then, the Jade Emperor said again:
"Clairvoyance, tailwind...forget it, I'll see for myself what's going on."
He took out the "Haotian Mirror", and the mirror surface was covered with green light. Following a series of spells, chaos gave rise to all phenomena, manifesting the scene of Dongsheng Shenzhou and Nanyue Kingdom.
Pictures fly by and time flows backwards.
The Ghost Emperor massacred a country, millions of creatures suffered, and the demonic energy surged into the sky. Then, a Taoist appeared, and the true fire of the sun turned into a golden sea of fire and swept across the wasteland, burning up all the demonic energy. The Six Paths of Samsara Fist shook the heaven and earth, and shattered the body of the Suzaku God with one punch...
The immortals could also see these scenes and were moved one after another.
Looking at the domineering fist seal formed by six endlessly rotating chaotic worlds, the Jade Emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"Who is this person?"
One punch destroyed the body of the Suzaku God Lord at the peak of Daluo. Such strength is rare in the three worlds.
In the main hall, the Tower King Li Jing, Nezha, the Barefoot Immortal, Jiuyao Xingjun and others were all a little surprised, but no one said a word.
Strange face, I don’t recognize it.
Taishang Laojun raised his eyebrows slightly, shook his fly whisk, walked out of the row, and said:
"Old Taoist has met this person several times. He is an overseas loose cultivator, Taoist Lord Xingluo. He has been living in seclusion and hiding from the world. He was active for a while in ancient times and suppressed many demons, gods and witches. He was one of the early Daluo sages of the human race. He was
Respected as the Divine Martial God."
Divine Martial God?
The Jade Emperor's eyes lit up, he thought for a moment and said:
"I think this man is quite brave and looks like a god of war. What do you think if you don't ask him to go to heaven and take up the position of Gou Chen?"
Taishang Laojun looked a little surprised, didn't answer, and stepped back.
"Your Majesty, this move is a bit inappropriate! This person has no merit and virtue, how can he hold the position of the Fourth Emperor?"
"Yes, he is just a casual cultivator. Even though he is strong, his virtue is not worthy of his qualifications, so he may not be able to hold a big position!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice. There are virtuous and true immortals in our heaven, and there are as many powerful people as stars. Why do we need to let an outsider inherit the position of the Four Emperors?"
Now the immortals couldn't sit still and came out one after another to express their opposition.
There were many opponents, at least a majority of them. Each one of them almost reduced Xingluo Taojun to nothing.
How important is the position of the Four Imperial Guards?
There are too many great gods eyeing this position. Some support Emperor Zhenwu, some support Jiutian Xuannv, and some support Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun...
Many immortal officials and Xingjun have actually been bribed a long time ago, and they are all talking for the big boss behind them.
At this time, an overseas loose cultivator jumped out, a washed-up human race power with no foundation at all in heaven. Who would support him?
"I think this person is pretty good."
The Third Prince Nezha had a baby face, and when he saw the image flashing by the Haotian Mirror, he was a little impressed, "What a powerful boxing technique, you guys will be jealous of your talents.
Why can't he be the Gou Chen Emperor? Ask yourselves, who can take this punch?"
All the immortals were immediately speechless.
Li Jing, the King of Pagoda, changed his face slightly, pulled him and scolded him:
"Nezha, don't talk nonsense!"
"snort."
Nezha crossed his arms and turned his little head away, "The position of the Four Imperial Guards was won through competition, not by default, nor by relying on some bullshit moral character. This man is invincible, why not give him a chance?"
He likes the god of war like Xingluo Daojun who takes life and death lightly and will do anything if he doesn't accept it.
So what if the Heavenly Suzaku God Lord dared to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he would still blow them up with one punch.
On the golden throne of the Heavenly Emperor, the Jade Emperor smiled faintly and said:
"What Nezha said makes sense. Some time ago, Zhen Yuanzi of Wuzhuangguan also recommended this person to me. Today, I saw that he is indeed brave and has the demeanor of a military god. He can be a candidate for the position of Gouchen.
.”
Has Zhenyuan Immortal recommended it?
At this moment, the expressions of all the immortals in heaven changed slightly, their hearts were filled with ups and downs, and they had different thoughts.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although the ancestor of the Earth Immortal is not in the system of Heavenly Court, he still has great influence, and his recommendation naturally carries a certain weight.
At least Xingluo Daojun can be qualified as a candidate for the throne. Even if it is to give face to Zhenyuan Immortal, His Majesty will do this.
"Okay, let's go."
The Jade Emperor stood up and left.
He did not mention punishing the Lord Suzaku, because the Lord Suzaku was already seriously injured, and it was Tianzhu, so it was not easy to continue punishing him.
Of course, after recovering from his injuries, the life of Lord Suzaku was no longer as easy as before. Killing an entire country was also a serious crime in heaven, and the Queen Mother, who was in charge of criminal law and was notoriously strict in enforcing the law, would definitely punish him severely.
The immortals exited the Lingxiao Palace, gathered in small groups, and began to discuss in low voices.
"What do you think His Majesty is thinking about letting an outsider participate in the election for the position of the Four Imperial Guards?"
"Who knows, maybe it's because he is an outsider?"
There are many factions, large and small, in the Heavenly Court, and the water is very deep. In recent years, due to the fall of Emperor Gouchen, the struggle has become quite fierce.
To a certain extent, there is no difference between heaven and earth's courts and government agencies. No matter how mortals fight, immortals are also the same.
Even gods usually hold grudges more and fight harder because they have extremely long lifespans and endless energy.
It is difficult for mortals to fight for something for decades, and hatred will slowly let go over time. No struggle or hatred can last for hundreds of years.
When an immortal becomes bored, he may be torn apart for tens of thousands of years over a trivial matter...
This is why the Hunyuan Saints are so proud of themselves. If they lose their dignity, it is definitely a big deal.
Because once you lose face, you will be remembered by all the immortals forever, and it will be difficult to wash away it for thousands of years until the end of time.
You will always be a laughing stock, forever a dark history, until one day you find a way to regain your place.
After leaving Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor came to Yaochi.
The golden palace and the silver palace merge with the purple palace, and the Qihua Yaocao and Qiongpa.
The water of the lake in Yaochi is clear, reflecting the stars and the moon. Fairy music is ringing around the pool, and fairies are dancing. The scenery is picturesque. Goldfish swim freely in the pool, and peach blossoms laugh at the spring breeze on the shore. It is a supreme fairyland.
An extraordinary female fairy stands beside the pavilion, admiring the fish in the pond, watching the dance and listening to the string music.
She was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a golden crown on her head and a jade in her hand. Her expression was solemn and kind, her face exquisite, beautiful and dignified, and her eyes were deep, as if she could see through all the troubles in the world.
"Why is Your Majesty free to come to my place today?"
The Jade Emperor mentioned the matter of the Suzaku God secretly descending to the lower world.
The Queen Mother looked cold and said:
"What a greedy and bloodthirsty Suzaku, he is so stubborn! If it weren't for the trouble of changing Tianzhu, I would have cut off all his magical powers and reduced him to a beast."
The fairies stopped dancing and did not dare to play the harp any more, remaining as silent as cicadas.
In heaven, sometimes it's not a big deal if you bump into the Jade Emperor, because the Jade Emperor doesn't like to argue with little fairies or gods.
But if you offend the Queen Mother, no matter whether you are a great god or a small fairy, you will not get any good results.
The Jade Emperor shook his head slightly and didn't know what to say. He waved the fairies to leave and then brought up the matter of Xingluo Daojun and Zhen Yuanzi.
"You want to push Xingluo Daojun to the top? Why?"
"You know, Ziwei insists that it was me who killed his brother, and he can no longer accept explanations. The thoughts and positions of the other candidates are also very complicated. Xingluo Daojun, an outsider and a casual cultivator, makes people feel more at ease."
The Jade Emperor rubbed his forehead, looking like he had a headache.
Emperor Ziwei is now chasing him like a mad dog and biting him. This time during the gambling battle in the Eastern Han Dynasty, he almost rebelled openly.
But the most unjust thing is that he really didn't harm the previous Emperor Gou Chen.
Damn it, who knows how Gou Chen fell? He couldn't find any information using the Haotian Mirror...
The Queen Mother saw the irritable expression on the Jade Emperor's face and knew that he was a little exhausted mentally and physically because of the last gambling fight, so she said:
"It's a troubled time. Both internally and externally, we are restless. In the near future, the future Buddha of Buddhism will return to his throne, and those monks are afraid that there will be another wave of missionary expansion."
"So, I need a powerful and strong-willed Emperor Gouchen to suppress the Three Realms and bring order to these demons and demons," the Jade Emperor said.
"Xuan Nu of the Nine Heavens, how about the Duke of the East?" said the Queen Mother.
No one can decide the position of the Four Emperors with one word, not even the Jade Emperor.
No god has the ability to directly deprive or grant others the divine status and authority of the Four Imperial Levels, otherwise Emperor Ziwei would have been expelled long ago.
The Jade Emperor supported Jiutian Xuannv to become the new Emperor Gouchen.
The Queen Mother supports her old friend Dongwanggong.
The Jade Emperor waved his hand, and an immortal talisman floated out.
"Buzz buzz..."
The immortal talisman trembles slightly, is golden yellow, and is supreme and noble. Sometimes it turns into a mysterious innate Taoist inscription, sometimes it manifests the phantom of various magical weapons, and sometimes it turns into a jade seal shining with brilliant divine light.
The aura is majestic, commanding all gods, and carrying an unimaginably vast aura of war.
Gou Chen Guo bit!
The Jade Emperor stared at this immortal talisman with deep eyes and said:
"Xuan Nu is very good. She is also the god of war and the art of war. She is very suitable for Gouchen Guo. She was originally the best candidate in my mind. Unfortunately, although she became a Taoist in ancient times and has sufficient qualifications, she is stuck in the quasi-sage category.
This barrier has been unable to be broken through for a long time.”
In addition, the relationship between Jiutian Xuannv and Ziwei Emperor is also good, which helps to alleviate conflicts.
In other words, she has a good relationship with Shiyu and is a smart woman.
"Theoretically speaking, the peak state of Da Luo can carry the four imperial realms. When I became the Emperor of Heaven, I was only Da Luo, but... I can't do that now." The Jade Emperor sighed.
At this time, the framework of heaven has been set up, and the gods have returned to their places. They are not just empty frames in the early days. The strength of Da Luo at his peak cannot hold down the situation.
In particular, Maitreya Bodhisattva seems to have made a breakthrough and became a quasi-sage.
If Jiutian Xuannv is promoted to the throne, then the new Four Emperors will not be as good as the Third Buddha of Buddhism, which will become a joke in the Three Realms.
The Queen Mother's expression remained unchanged and she said: "You can do it, Duke Dongwang. Although he only beheaded one corpse, he is still a quasi-sage. It is not difficult to temporarily suppress Maitreya Bodhisattva."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Jade Emperor shook his head gently and said:
"His carefree nature and dislike of fighting really don't match Gou Chen's status. Now he chooses Emperor Gou Chen, the Martial God of the Three Realms, instead of the Emperor of Immortality."
The status of Dongwang Gong and Changsheng Emperor are very similar, but there is no shortage of this emperor in heaven.
The Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and said: "Zhenwu——"
"snort."
The Jade Emperor raised his hand to interrupt her, with an unpleasant look on his face, "I know he can do it, both in terms of strength and compatibility with Gou Chen Guo position, but he is too close to...Yu Qing."
.”
Yuqing refers to Yuanshi Tianzun.
Directly reciting the official name and title of the saint may be perceived, so I use Yuqing instead.
The Jade Emperor hates Yuanshi Tianzun the most.
Hongjun has almost no sense of existence in this world. The list of gods and the whip of gods are actually the things of Yuanshi Tianzun.
Until now, Yuanshi Tianzun still occupies the list of gods and the whip of gods, which means that the lives of many gods in heaven are still in his hands and cannot go against his will.
The Jade Emperor's decrees may not be as effective as the Yuanshi Fu Zhao.
As for Emperor Zhenwu, he was able to break through to the Quasi-Sage only after he obtained Yuanshi Tianzun's "Eight-Nine Mysterious Skills" as a reference.
Emperor Zhenwu was able to come from behind and become the Five Elders of the Five Directions, also because he had the support of Chan Jiao.
He is too close to Yuanshi Tianzun...
Seeing the Jade Emperor's anger, the Queen Mother turned green, shook her head, and said helplessly:
"Then there is no other way. None of the people we support are good enough. Emperor Dongyue has not broken through to the Quasi-Sage. Taiyi saved Ku Tianzun. He is strong enough, but he is not worthy of Gouchen Guobit. Unless you put Gouchen Guobit
Make the conversion."
"According to Taiyi's request to save Ku Tianzun, transform into the so-called Eastern Qinghua Great Emperor's fruition status?"
The Jade Emperor shook his head.
This is even less of a good choice.
It is too difficult to forcibly transform the four imperial realms, and if you succeed by chance, it may not necessarily be a good thing. If the Three Realms Martial God and the Master of War are not in the system of Heavenly Court, it means that military power will be lost.
The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother discussed for a while, thought over and over again, and finally made up their minds.
He summoned Jiutian Xuannv and said:
"You immediately go down to the Star Luo Islands and invite the Star Luo Dao Lord to go to heaven."
Jiutian Xuannv was very smart and immediately understood something. A bitter smile appeared on her face, she bowed slightly and said:
"I have disappointed Your Majesty. I have failed to live up to your expectations."
The Jade Emperor sighed softly and said: "How difficult it is to kill three corpses and become a quasi-sage. There are so many great powers in ancient times. How many of them can finally rival those great giants born at the beginning of the world?"
The ancient times roughly refers to the period from the Lich's struggle for hegemony to the rule of the Three Emperors and the rise of the human race.
At that time, the situation was turbulent, thousands of races were fighting for hegemony, and heroes emerged in large numbers, but most of the strong men still stayed in the realm of Da Luo.
Jiutian Xuannv's eyes were a little sad, but she didn't refute, nodded, and left in the clouds.
There is no doubt that she was abandoned by the Great God.
She finally understood that her own strength was not enough, and it would be useless no matter how well she matched the Gou Chen Guo position. The Three Realms and Six Paths would ultimately speak with their fists.
Buddha is only the five elders of the five directions, but he is more majestic than the four emperors. Why?
It's not because the Tathagata Palm is powerful enough.
………
Undercurrents in the heavens are surging, and around the positions of the four emperors, all parties are fighting openly and secretly.
Renn returned to the Star Luo Islands like an old god, and stayed in seclusion for several months without any rush.
Tianshu Island, Xingluo Palace.
A huge golden bell hangs outside the main hall. The golden bell is flowing with brilliance and the light is blazing, like a big sun.
On this day, the bell rang nine times, and a group of wandering cultivators... no, it should be said that the Xingluo Immortals gathered to listen to Dao Lord's sermon.
"The Taoist man covers the sky and the earth, outlines all directions, and has eight poles. He is immeasurably high and unfathomable. He wraps up the heaven and the earth and imparts formlessness. The original stream of springs rushes and slowly becomes clear. It is muddy and slippery, and becomes turbid and slowly clears.
.So plant it and block it in the heaven and earth, spread it horizontally across the four seas; give it endlessly, but no day or night..."
Ren sat cross-legged outside the palace and preached to the immortals.
Flowers were falling from the sky, golden lotuses were emerging from the ground, the clouds were changing, and the rays of light were shining all over the place. The stars and immortals were mesmerized by what they heard.
Three days later, the sermon ended, and all the immortals thanked Taojun and left Tianshu Island.
Only Lu Daoren stayed on the island amid the envy of everyone.
"Xiao Lu, what did you do before and why did you enter the road? Tell me in detail." Renn asked casually while sitting on a bluestone on the edge of the cliff, looking at the sky where the clouds rose above the sea and dawned.
Mr. Lu hesitated for a moment and said:
"I come from a small seaside town in the country of Aolai. My ancestors had little fame, but by my father's generation, our family had fallen into decline..."
Lu Renjia, the only son in the family, was selected to be a scholar at the age of nineteen, and he was selected to be a civil servant before he was twenty-five. His future was bright, and his mother was very pleased, feeling that the revival of the family business was just around the corner.
But then, he unfortunately failed the exam twice and failed to become a high school scholar.
He was not bad at being a civil servant. Moreover, he was a talented person and a beautiful tree. He was appreciated by the county magistrate and married his daughter. Later, he became the chief registrar himself.
A sure winner in life.
However, in a certain accident, he saved an old Taoist priest who was seriously injured and unconscious. Afterwards, he was taught a Taoist book and embarked on the path of spiritual practice.
Lu Daoren's eyes were red and he said: "I was very excited at the time. Immortality is more attractive than fame and fortune. I became a little accomplished in Taoism, so I resigned from the post of chief bookkeeper and went around doing chivalrous work and exterminating demons.
.
But at that time, I was high-spirited, too conceited, and did not hide my identity. A tiger demon came to seek revenge, and while I was out, the whole family was brutally killed."
When Ren heard this, he sighed and said:
"Then have you ever regretted it?"
Lu Daoren's expression froze and he remained silent.
He felt that Dao Lord might want to test him. Perhaps, after passing the test, he could truly become a disciple of Dao Lord...
After a moment, he said in a hoarse voice: "I regret it."
"I thought you would say you have no regrets."
"But I do regret it."
Lu Daoren lowered his head, a little ashamed.
He must have failed Daojun's test.
Ren stood up, smiled slightly, and said: "Very good, you can be my registered disciple."
