The Jade Emperor, Ziwei Emperor and others looked at Gou Chen and Hou Tu, their eyes flashing.
There are many weird things about Emperor Yao. He is not afraid of attacks from flying knives that kill immortals. His energy and blood are frighteningly strong. His physique is invincible. He can defeat innate gods and demons, and he can also kill three corpses...
They were quite curious about some of his secrets, but it was not convenient to explore them.
Could it be that Queen Houtu saw something at this time?
In terms of realm, she is higher than everyone present.
"Something's wrong?"
Ren stared at the Lord of the Netherworld, the peerless female emperor in front of him, with a bright smile, showing his white teeth, "Am I too handsome?"
"..."
The corner of Hou Tu's mouth twitched, and he was speechless for a moment.
The little guy is a bit different and doesn't play by the rules, which makes her a little uncomfortable.
There was no emotion on her cold face, and her eyes as dark as night kept staring at him. After a moment, she shook her head slightly.
She picked up the wine vessel, poured a glass of fairy wine for Ren, and apologized:
"I'm being rude. My Taoist friend is extremely beautiful and extraordinary. I can't see through it, so I won't make any unreasonable comments."
Gouchen's soul is very powerful, as if it were made of immortal gold. The mysterious runes of the Heavenly Emperor are shining in the sea of consciousness. They are shielded by the laws of immortality and cannot be seen clearly, but they exude an aura of immortality.
His soul was as bright and hot as the sun, almost burning her ghostly eyes.
His will and the power of his spiritual consciousness are also extremely powerful, like a vast and endless sea of stars, with incomparable vitality and astonishing appearance.
Such a soul is almost completely transcending reincarnation and possesses some characteristics of a saint's soul.
This is contrary to common sense. Haotian and Buddha's souls are also very powerful, but they don't have this kind of transcendence, nor this kind of almost immortality.
Gou Chen's soul also gave her a subtle feeling, a bit abnormal, inconsistent and uncoordinated.
But she doesn't know why this is happening...
Nuwa watched the process of the reunion of Ren's flesh and blood and the recovery of his spiritual consciousness. She studied it carefully for decades and gained insight into every detail, so that she could make more discoveries.
As the "Lord of Reincarnation", Hou Tu's attainments in the way of the soul are no less than those of Nuwa, but she did not have such an opportunity to observe. She could only tell that something was wrong through visual inspection, but she did not know the specific reason.
Renn picked up the bronze wine statue and drank it in one gulp.
The wine is golden in color, rippling with blue starlight, sweet in the mouth, nourishing the soul, and endless aftertaste.
A cup of the top-grade immortal brew can greatly increase Taiyi Golden Immortal's magic power. Unfortunately, it has no effect on a strong man like him. It can only satisfy his craving.
"Your Majesty, you are too praiseworthy. You created the Six Paths of Reincarnation, perfected the prehistoric cycle, and allowed all sentient beings to have the opportunity to be reincarnated after death. Your merits are immeasurable. When the evolution of this Pangu Era is completed, you will be able to become a saint. How can I be compared to a martial artist?
?”
He stared at the Mother Goddess of Earth in front of him, the Lord of Reincarnation, with a flash of silver in his eyes.
Houtu is very powerful, and the path of reincarnation has been completed. The rich power of the netherworld surrounds her, allowing her to transcend the three realms and six realms, standing outside of time, at the end of reincarnation, overlooking the vicissitudes of time, waiting for the end of the era.
Such a state is already equivalent to that of a heavenly saint!
But she is not a saint because she has no body.
Her body turned into a reincarnation disk deep in the netherworld and could not move freely.
What appears in front of everyone at this moment is only an incarnation condensed by the power of the Netherworld, which can be called the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation - Empress Pingxin.
Because there is no real body, the incarnation and clone of Emperor Houtu are not limited by the laws of heaven. Empress Pingxin has the strength of a quasi-sage and is the most powerful incarnation of Houtu.
Nowadays, things in the underworld are handled by Empress Pingxin. She also gave part of the power of reincarnation to Emperor Fengdu and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
In the land of reincarnation, Empress Pingxin, with the help of the reincarnation disk, has the strength of a saint and is not afraid of all saints.
This is also the reason why Ancestor Styx has always been entrenched in the Netherworld Blood Sea, occasionally harassing the underworld and devouring wandering souls, but never dared to step into the core of the underworld.
If he dares to go deep into the underworld, he will die miserably.
"Emperor Yao, there is no need to be humble. You are very strong, and you might be able to preach in front of me."
Empress Houtu said in a cold voice.
She has few emotions, is cold and calm, like the lake water on a winter night.
But she doesn't come across as cold and ruthless. Instead, she has a sense of open-mindedness and tolerance.
She is also an ancient and benevolent goddess. Unlike the Nuwa Empress, she is even more philanthropic and treats all races in the ancient world equally, including the once mortal enemies of the demon race.
The demon clan can also enjoy the opportunity of reincarnation equally. This alone has surprised countless powerful people.
Emperor Ziwei raised the wine bottle, smiled slightly, and said:
"Does Empress Houtu think so highly of Emperor Yao?"
"It's not optimistic, it's a fact."
Hou Tu said calmly.
Everyone was a little frightened and had different thoughts.
Hou Tu has already reached the realm of a saint, but he cannot be free until the end of the Pangu Period.
There is no room for error in the six paths of reincarnation. A saint can open up a big world like the Earthly Immortal Realm, but he cannot establish reincarnation again.
No one can destroy the body of Houtu Empress, unless this power can defeat the heavens and destroy the entire prehistoric world.
Therefore, she is bound to become a saint. As long as she waits for immeasurable calamities, the Three Realms return to ruins, and she recovers her true body, she will be a true saint. She may not be a saint yet, but may come from behind.
She is in a state where she can talk to all saints on an equal footing, yet she actually thinks that Gou Chen can beat her one step ahead...
The Great Heavenly Lord was a little moved, his eyes were focused, he looked at Emperor Gouchen meaningfully, and said:
"Brother Yao Xian seems to have something to hide."
"That's a shame. She can't compare to the Empress Houtu who is in charge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. She is just dawdling around."
Renn waved his hand and said modestly.
Everyone: "..."
What is this word?
If you put it this way, who is not dawdling?
Empress Houtu stopped observing Gou Chen. She looked at the Jade Emperor and said:
"Great Heavenly Lord invites me here, why do you want me to come here?"
Emperor Changsheng, Emperor Ziwei, and Ren En all looked at the Jade Emperor on the throne, waiting for him to explain the situation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The four emperors of heaven gather together, accompanied by the Queen Mother. This kind of battle is rare.
The Jade Emperor looked serious, flicked his sleeves and robe, and a yellow ancient scroll fell on the table.
The ancient scroll sparkled with golden light, and was engraved with many Sanskrit texts. Bodhi appeared, golden lotuses bloomed, and the shadows of two huge ancient Buddhas flashed away. The holy power filled the air and shocked the whole world!
The decree of the saint.
The marks of welcoming the Buddha and quainting the Buddha's mother are all imprinted on the decree.
"Two Saints from the West, want to preach to the East?"
Emperor Changsheng looked at the contents of the sage's decree and his expression changed.
Emperor Ziwei was also a little shaken, his eyes turned around, and the sun, moon and stars disappeared.
"Interesting, Western Buddhism and Eastern Taoism are preparing for the third large-scale exchange?"
There was a trace of interest on Queen Houtu's face, "Or is it simply the spread of Buddhism to the East?"
The content of the sage's decree was unclear, so the Jade Emperor opened his mouth and added:
"It's not an exchange between Taoism and Buddhism, it's just the spread of Buddhism eastward. What Lingshan means is that they want to spread Sakyamuni's Mahayana Buddhism among the people of various countries in the southern continent."
"I see."
Emperor Ziwei sneered, "It seems that what happened last time made them a little scared. This time they are not so radical."
Renn didn't know much about the conflict between Buddhism and Taoism, so he asked curiously:
"What is the difference between Taoist and Buddhist exchanges and the spread of Buddhism eastward?"
The Queen Mother glanced at him, knowing that he had been dormant for eternity and did not understand many historical grudges, so she explained:
"There have been two exchanges between Taoism and Buddhism in history. One occurred in the late ancient times. Taoist friends from Taiqing traveled to the wilderness and invited powerful people and people with great supernatural powers from all over the three realms to gather in the Bajing Palace. Among them were the powerful people from Xitian Buddhism, three thousand
Guests from the world of mortals discuss the Tao,
In the end, the Taiqing Dynasty opened up the golden elixir avenue, the immortal Tao system, announced the method of killing three corpses, and proved the Tao of Hunyuan. It was revered as the Taoist ancestor by all the tribes in the prehistoric era and the head of the Three Pure Ones..."
Taiqing's enlightenment connects the past and the future, ends the ancient times, and opens the ancient era of immortality.
Soon after, he led the Taoist back to the West, further perfected the Hinayana Buddhism and the Buddhist cultivation system, preached to all races, and made great aspirations. Finally, he received feedback from heaven and realized the path of Hunyuan.
This Taoist-Buddhist exchange was relatively successful, a win-win situation and everyone was happy.
The powerful Buddhists at that time did not stay in the East for long, nor did they leave any inheritance.
The Queen Mother continued:
"Three emperors ruled the world, five emperors established their relationships, and the Qing Emperor enlightened the Tao. The ancient era ended... During this period, the two Western religious leaders tried to unite the world with Buddhism and Taoism, but both ended in failure, so they thought of the unification of the three religions.
Road.
During the Xia and Shang Dynasties, under the initiative of the two Western leaders, the second exchange of Buddhism and Taoism was larger in scale and involved more powerful people."
Ren also knew what happened next.
At that time, Taoism and Buddhism were in their honeymoon period, and they were communicating and learning from each other. You learned Taoism from the East, and I learned Buddhism from the West. We all had a bright future.
In the prehistoric times of the Middle Ages, there was a flourishing era of spiritual practice, exchanges between Buddhism and Taoism, and countless magical powers and secret techniques were born.
Taoism has the universe in its sleeves, and Buddhism has the Buddha's kingdom in the palm of its hand. You cast the divine body of Taoism, and I will cultivate the Bodhi Golden Body. You will dream about it for eternity, and I will realize the Taoism in your dream...
Later, even two of the Three Pure Ones ended up creating Buddhist bodies and went to the Western Lands to preach.
Daode Tianzun made the vest of Amitayus Buddha, Yuanshi Tianzun made a holy Buddha's trumpet, but Lingbao Tianzun was not interested in Buddhism and devoted himself to preaching to all races, teaching regardless of distinction, and carrying forward the Taoism of the Supreme Purity.
This period of time is known as the "Golden Age of Medieval Cultivation" and the golden age of Buddhism and Taoism.
Ren drank the fairy brew and said, "Isn't this very pleasant? Why did they break up later?"
Emperor Ziwei played with the bronze wine bottle and explained:
"At the end of the Xia Dynasty, the two Western sect leaders attained the enlightenment of Hunyuan, and the reputation of Western Buddhism increased greatly, which aroused the fear of the Sanqing saints."
Emperor Changsheng added: "Not only that, the in-depth exchanges and mutual learning between Buddhism and Taoism have also brought about many problems of identity and position. Some Taoist priests are obsessed with Buddhism and became a monk halfway, and some monks advocate Taoism and switch to Taoism... The relationship is the same
It’s a mess.”
In the later period, this Taoist-Buddhist exchange got a little out of control.
Vests within vests, Buddhist incarnations turn against the guest, and the Taoist body suppresses the original body... Taoist traitors, Buddhist traitors, fagots, double agents, and some people don't know whether they are monks or Taoist priests.
At that time, Mission: Impossible was being staged every day, and the outsiders were jumping around again and again.
Even Sanqing and Ershi were a little dumbfounded. They didn't know which of their disciples was trustworthy, which one had rebelled, which one was trying to please both sides, and which one had become schizophrenic...
The orthodoxy of the two religions has lost its purity, and many disciples have crooked buttocks.
The contradictions among the top leaders of Buddhism and Taoism began to become acute. Some people wanted to annex Chanjiao and Renjiao, some wanted to usurp the Buddhist orthodoxy and claimed that Buddhism is the Tao. Some people wanted to unify Buddhism and Taoism and become the supreme master of the three religions...
Coincidentally, at this time, Yuanshi Tianzun obtained the innate divine object "The List of Gods" at the edge of the universe.
It just so happened that at this time, the human race was also at a time of revolution.
It just so happened that at this time, Jie Jiao, because of its teachings without distinction, reached its peak period when thousands of immortals came to the court, overwhelming Chan Jiao, Ren Jiao and Xitu Buddhism, and was at its peak. Therefore, Lingbao Tianzun became the leader of the Three Pure Ones in this period...
Ever since, the Battle of the Gods broke out.
The brutality of this battle far exceeded the description in "The Romance of the Gods". Countless immortals and Buddhas shed blood, Taoist Ran Deng, Master Cihang, Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun, Holy Buddha, Amitayus Buddha...all fell.
After the First World War, the great Jiejiao became a passing cloud, the Tao returned to the Tao, and the Buddha returned to the Buddha.
The Queen Mother sighed:
"The Battle of the Gods was the result of the internal struggle of the Three Qing Dynasties, the evolution of humanity, and the revival of Shinto. It was also a battle between Taoism and Buddhism."
Renn: "..."
No wonder the battle for the gods in this world is so fierce, with so many layers of explosives stacked up.
If there are so many conflicts accumulated and they break out all at once, the consequences will naturally be quite serious.
He finally understood why Lingbao Tianzun wanted to overturn the table.
The dispute between Taoism and Buddhism has ended.
Jiaduobao VS Wanglaoji, He Qizheng is in trouble.
Ren felt that if he were the leader of Tongtian Cult, he wouldn't be able to bear it. You guys fight back and forth, but in the end everything is fine, but my orthodoxy is completely gone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! You are a co-author to plot against me, right?
Lingbao Tianzun: What the hell, what the hell... (He was banned by Heaven for his excessive words)
After the Battle of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun became the biggest winner. He took charge of the list of gods, liquidated the Buddhist sect, destroyed the Jiejiao religion, emptied out the Haotian God (forcing him to reincarnate), and became the ancestor who presided over the heavenly world, the head of the Three Pure Ones, and the most famous among all the saints.
A powerful person.
Taiqing's work was basically in vain.
The foundation of Buddhism in the East was uprooted, but because of Taoist Zhunti's cunning manipulation, it was not considered a serious loss of vitality.
The human race was tortured so much, the world of Dashang Dongtian collapsed, and Taizu Chengtang died.
The Master of Tongtian, the biggest loser in the Battle of the Gods. He lost his mind and wanted to destroy the world. He was banned by the Heavenly Dao. In one word, it was miserable.
"Saints are basically old men who are good at calculations. Only Lingbao Tianzun is an upright boy. As a result, he was tricked by two senior brothers and foreign enemies..."
Renn thought to himself and became more vigilant.
MD, so dirty.
Empress Sanxiao used the Nine-Meander Yellow River Formation to kill so many strong Buddhists and made great contributions to Taoism. However, she was liquidated by her two uncles and was placed on the list of gods.
The cunning rabbit is dead, the lackey is cooked, the flying birds are gone, the good bow is hidden... it's really a fun game.
The Great Heavenly Lord looked at the four great emperors and said:
"Everyone, this is such a big matter that I cannot make the decision alone. What do you think of the spread of Buddhism to the east proposed by the two sages of the West?"
"Haotian, please tell me your own attitude first. I believe you have already made a decision."
Emperor Ziwei said calmly.
The Jade Emperor glanced at the Queen Mother, saw her nodding slightly, looked at everyone, and said bluntly:
"I have asked Taiqing Taoist Patriarch for instructions, and he agrees in principle with the spread of Buddhism to the East. My wife and I have decided to support Sakyamuni's action of spreading Mahayana Buddhism, which is the so-called "Fetching Buddhist Scriptures from the West."
After some bargaining, he got two spots on the Buddhist scripture learning team.
enough.
Emperor Ziwei said indifferently: "I object."
He did not get the benefits promised by Buddhism.
Jade Emperor: "..."
The Emperor of Immortality hesitated for a moment, touched his long beard, closed his eyes, and seemed to be communicating with an expert. After a moment, he slowly opened his eyes, and an unprecedented scene flashed across his eyes, and his voice seemed cold.
After a few minutes, he said:
"I remain neutral."
Renn: "..."
Have you asked Yuanshi Tianzun?
In this world, the Changsheng Emperor is the son of Yuanshi Tianzun and the second generation of the most powerful god in heaven.
The Jade Emperor showed a hint of joy. His relationship with Yuanshi Tianzun was no longer as good as before. He originally thought that Yu Qing would sing the opposite, but he chose to acquiesce.
Yes, this kind of thing, if you don’t object, you will acquiesce.
"Gou Chen, Empress Houtu, what do you think?" the Jade Emperor asked seriously.
He paid more attention to these two people. After all, the strength of Gou Chen and Hou Tu was there, and if one of them objected, it would bring many variables to Xitian's quest for scriptures.
Empress Houtu said calmly: "I agree."
Just now, Sage Chunti asked Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to communicate with her other incarnation. She has benefited from it and will naturally not regret it.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were turned to Gou Chen, who said nothing.
Gou Chen's attitude is very important. He is not only the supreme giant at the pinnacle of quasi-sage, but also the supreme human race. He is backed by the largest clan in the ancient world. There are rumors that Empress Nuwa likes him very much and even intends to marry him...
Renn drank the wine leisurely and said with a cold expression:
"I object!"
"..."x5
The Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, Ziwei Emperor, Changsheng Emperor, and Empress Houtu were all stunned for a moment.
