Chapter 1284 Not the Worst (4k)

The sky above Yimen Pass.

The Lord of Heaven and the Queen Mother of the West killed everyone in their path, and no one could withstand their brilliance.

Taoist Lu Ya, Taoist Randeng, Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, and others were all defeated.

For countless years, the two of them have been called the masters of the Three Realms, but in fact, there have always been several huge mountains pressing down on their heads, giving orders.

How can you allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

This was true for the mortal emperor Zhao Kuangyin, let alone Haotian and Yaochi, the masters of the three realms?
today,

They first removed Yuanshi Tianzun, the Sage Laozi, the Master of Tongtian, the Taoist Jieying, and the Taoist Zhunti from the throne.

At this time, no one of the quasi-saints who swept across the three religions could be his opponent, which made the two of them feel extremely proud.

He truly has the demeanor of the master of the three realms, the only one who reigns supreme.

"boom!"

The Turtle Spirit Mother was slapped down by Haotian with the Heavenly Law, directly knocking down a mountain below.

"Lord Zhang is right. If the three religions are not destroyed, there will be endless troubles once the saints recover their strength." Haotian said with a cold look. The Turtle Spirit Mother just now was already the last quasi-saint among the three religions.

Haotian stepped on the void, seemingly slowly walking step by step towards the reed hut where the saint was.

After dealing with the last quasi-saint, Queen Mother of the West stood together with Haotian and pressed towards the place where the saint was.

Kill him while he is ill, this is the truth.

"Haotian, do you really want to make things extreme?" Yuanshi Tianzun said with gritting teeth as he looked at Haotian Holy Land and Yaochi Jinmu with an icy gaze.

"Isn't it enough for you to attack us by surprise? Do you really want to kill us?" said the sage Lao Tzu.

"Haotian, I, Tongtian, have never offended you, right? Why bother comparing yourself with me?" Tongtian Patriarch said angrily.

“Fellow Daoist Haotian, my brother and I are from the outside world and have no intention of ruling the East. We came here only at the invitation of fellow Daoist Yuanshi.

I wonder if you can let us leave?" said the Taoist Zhunti very tactfully.

Zhunti and Jie Yin have always been on the same side, so Zhunti's opinion at this time is naturally the same as Jie Yin's opinion.

What is the easiest way to reconcile two people who hate each other?
Give them a common enemy they have to deal with.

The sudden intervention of Lord Haotian in the battle instantly shifted the internal conflicts between Tongtian and Yuanshi to the outside.

Faced with several saints who were in dire straits, Haotian simply ignored the words of the Taoist Zhunti and the Taoist Jieying.

Look at Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and the sage Laozi.

Haotian, who had originally had a calm look, glanced at Laozi. When he saw Yuanshi Tianzun, a nameless fire suddenly arose.

·······
The beginning of the Conferred God Ceremony started with the Twelve Golden Immortals headed by Guangchengzi.

When the Heavenly Palace was first established, Haotian and Yaochi were left alone.

Although he is known as the Lord of the Three Realms, not everyone listens to him.

I want to make this Lord of the Three Realms the real Lord of the Three Realms, rather than a puppet or decoration.

He had to recruit soldiers.

But he soon discovered the embarrassment.

The recruitment notice has been sent out for a long time, but the people who applied for it are not decent characters.

After some inquiries, he finally understood why he couldn't find anyone and why no one took him seriously.

Lord of the Three Realms?

Ordinary people can recognize it, but who would recognize it if there are followers?
He, Haotian, and Yaochi are only at the level of quasi-saints.

The saints have not yet disappeared from the world, and he wants to be the monarch of the three realms.

Who can bird him?

Among them, the one that competed with him the most for people was the Jie Religion. The saying that there is no discrimination in teaching is not an empty boast.

In order to establish his own authority, Haotian wanted to kill a chicken to scare others... uh...
Do not!
It should set an example.

I originally wanted to let Tongtian disciples set an example, but after thinking about it, I gave up the idea.

Immortals and gods are different.

Immortals are far away from the mundane world, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, drawing the essence of the sun and the moon, practicing the laws of heaven and earth, and living forever between heaven and earth.

Gods are close to the mortal world, collecting incense from the world, gathering supreme merits, and conforming to the rules of heaven and earth. As long as the incense continues to burn, the gods will never die.

Priesthood! For the immortals, it is a cause and effect, a great terror that delays his daily meditation to absorb the essence of the heaven, earth, sun and moon.

Purity! For the gods, it means death. To be pure, one must cut off cause and effect and sever the earthly world. Without cause and effect and the earthly world, where would the incense come from?
Compared with gods and immortals, which one is better?
There is no doubt that immortals have more freedom. Who would want to be a social animal working 996 hours a day?
So, although they had very poor aptitude in becoming immortals, they still stubbornly squatted outside the Biyou Palace and took advantage of the open classes taught by Master Tongtian.

Just don’t go and become a god.

Anyone can become a god, but there are certain requirements.

The souls of mortals are inherently weak. Even if they are protected by divine powers, they will be eroded by the power of incense and vows over time, and their spirits will then undergo changes.

It is more likely that the incense will directly backfire on you.

The highest limit for ordinary people to become gods is only the celestial immortal level.

Therefore, Haotian needs many alien species from heaven and earth, or those who have a strong foundation in practicing the immortal way, or those with strong luck to switch to practicing the divine way.

but.

Only those who have that foundation have problems with their brains and practice Shintoism.

and so.

Lord Haotian actually wants the disciples of the three religions to cooperate with him to serve as officials in heaven, and then other ordinary cultivators will enter the heaven to serve.

Haotian is still an honest man. He just wants to set an example and establish his own prestige. He doesn't really want to deceive the immortals of the two sects of Chan and Jie.

This is how Mr. Tang, the lawyer, concocted various excuses to lure the gentry into paying taxes and donations. Once the gentry paid, the people would follow suit. After getting the money, the gentry's money was returned in full, and the people's money was divided into 30% and 70%.

Ordinary cultivators went to heaven and were directly forced to abandon their physical bodies and practice the divine way.

When the disciples of the three religions go to heaven, they basically play the same game as Yang Jian and Lei Zhenzi, where they achieve sanctification through their physical bodies.

After choosing among the Human Teaching, the Orthodox Teaching, and the Unorthodox Teaching, he found that the Orthodox Teaching was the most suitable.

There is only one Master Xuandu among the disciples of the Human Sect. Both Laozi and Master Xuandu are too low-key, and the effect of setting an example is too poor.

There are too many disciples in Jiejiao, and too many misfits among the Ten Thousand Immortals. What will happen if Tongtianjiao asks for more than a hundred deity seats?
Although Yang Jian and his companions did not need incense to sanctify their physical bodies, they were still consuming the incense quota.

Moreover, each of them would rather sleep on the floor outside the Biyou Palace than be an official in the Heavenly Palace, which makes Haotian dislike Master Tongtian.

finally,
I chose Chanjiao.

The number of disciples in the Chan sect is just right, with no more than 30 in total.

The Twelve Golden Immortals directly ascended to heaven and became gods, and their influence and shock were absolutely maximized.

Haotian had a good idea and a perfect plan, but problems arose during implementation.

He didn't expect Guangchengzi and the others to be so arrogant.

Or maybe it was Yuanshi Tianzun's arrogance that affected Guangchengzi and the others, who directly rode a flying dragon on Haotian's face and stomped his face into the mud. That's why the Conferred God List was created.

·······
Lord Haotian took a long breath, suppressed his emotions, and then put his hands behind his back and said:

"I'm overdoing it? Can you guys be overdoing it?"

"What you did was ruthless? Are you as ruthless as you?" "Grudges? How can there be no grudges?"

Several seriously injured saints were puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

Haotian did not answer them, but chuckled and said, "Zhang Aiqing, please explain it to me."

"Zhang Aiqing!"

"Zhang Yi..."

After waiting for a while and hearing no sound, Haotian, who was pretending to be cool, seemed to have a row of black lines on his face, and a group of crows flew over his head...

Haotian looked somewhere to his side.

There was a Taoist priest wearing a black Bagua Taoist robe and a mustache, caressing the unconscious body of Randeng.

However, due to the difference in their cultivation levels, even though Ran Deng was unconscious, Wang Ming still could not obtain the "Fragments of the Book of Changes" from Ran Deng.

A quasi-saint can create a special storage space in his body, which can hold anything except innate spiritual treasures of this level or above.

Therefore, Wang Ming failed to succeed in a short time.

At this moment, Lord Haotian waved his hand, and instantly Randeng and Zhang Yi were pulled to his side by invisible rules.

"What are you looking for, Zhang Aiqing?"

"Your Majesty, a spiritual treasure left by our master has been seized by Randeng, and I, your disciple, want to take it back."

"So that's how it is." Lord Haotian looked at Zhang Yi meaningfully.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the Taoist priest Ran Deng, and instantly a large number of bottles, jars, flowers and plants appeared and all floated towards Zhang Yi.

Then he threw the body of Master Ran Deng like throwing away garbage.

Without saying a word, Zhang Yi grabbed the "Fragments of the Book of Changes" from a pile of items and put it in his pocket.

Haotian and the Saint naturally saw it, but didn't say anything.

They might be slightly moved by the complete version of the Book of Changes, but the incomplete manuscripts would not cause any emotional fluctuations at all.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Well! Lord Zhang, tell the saints what you said in the Lingxiao Palace!"

Zhang Yi's heart suddenly started beating fast when he heard this.

Zhang Yi is Wang Ming's clone. In order to get back the "Book of Changes", Wang Ming tried every possible means.

The strategists used all the tactics of forming alliances and making alliances before they successfully recovered the "Book of Changes".

but,

The rhetoric of a strategist is usually accompanied by lies. Originally, it would be enough to talk alone, but now both parties are here, and they are confronting each other on the spot...

Isn't this the end?

Wang Ming said he was very panicked, but he had to hold on.

"Saints, which side do you think will benefit the most if Your Majesty does not take action?"

“Of course it was Brother Yuanshi. Although Brother Tongtian successfully used the [Six Soul Banner] to plot against our Four Saints, Haotian did not intervene.

He couldn't do anything to us and could only let us go.

The final result is that Tongtian won the battle, but lost the entire Chan Sect." Zhunti Taoist said maliciously.

Even though it looked like Haotian had won at this moment, everyone was actually quite nervous, and no one knew what cards the other party had.

Otherwise, we wouldn't be having a quarrel here.

Zhunti wanted to divide Tongtian and Yuanshi. However, due to the appearance of the great enemy Haotian, Yuanshi and Tongtian seemed to be showing signs of reconciliation, which was naturally not what Zhunti wanted to see.

Haotian obviously wanted to use Zhang Yi to divide the Five Saints. Wang Ming guessed it, but he had to cooperate.

"no no!!!
"I originally thought that Tianzun didn't win, but I just realized that the one who lost the most in this battle was actually you, Yuanshi Saint!" Zhang Yi shook his head.

Yuanshi Tianzun's eyes were slightly cold, and he said in a cold tone: "Young man, don't talk nonsense."

The clone Zhang Yi said, "Hey! When Your Majesty was helping me retrieve my master's relics, I saw some things in Fellow Daoist Ran Deng's belongings."

"What?" Haotian picked up the things on the ground again in confusion. From the pile of things before, Wang Ming only took the "Book of Changes" and left the others untouched.

"Everyone, please look at what this is?" The clone Zhang Yi walked to a pile of items and picked out three blooming lotus flowers.

When Yuanshi saw this thing, his expression changed immediately, and then everyone's spiritual consciousness swept over the lotus.

"You are so good, Zhunti and Jieyin, you have saved three thousand mortals, not to mention that you are trying to poach my deputy leader.

How greedy and shameless!" Yuanshi Tianzun pointed at Jieyin and Zhunti behind Tongtian while holding the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and cursed.

“Brother Yuanshi, there is no need to be so excited. All this is fate and destiny! It is destined that Brother Randeng and I will enjoy happiness in the West.” Taoist Zhunti said with a very thick skin.

Yuanshi Tiandao's heart was filled with blood and energy. Wasn't fate the excuse he used to put Jiejiao's disciples on the list?
Those three lotus flowers are none other than the wonderful Dharma of the West: the Six-foot-tall Golden Body, the Buddha Kingdom in the Palm, and the Golden Lotus of Merit.

The first two lotuses are just ordinary first-grade lotuses, which are used as jade slips. The golden lotus of merit at the back is a ninth-grade golden lotus.

“You…” Yuanshi Tianzun pointed at Zhunti Taoist for a long time, and finally sighed and said, “Forget it. In the beginning, Randeng and I were of the same generation. Since he is willing to go to your West, I will not keep him.”

Originally, we had asked Jie Yin and Zhunti to come over to help because we owed them a favor. Now that Randeng's matter was reported, the favor was basically canceled out.

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi is indeed magnanimous!"

"My fellow Daoist is of high moral character!"

Jie Yin and Zhunti laughed.

While they were arguing, Wang Ming took the opportunity to enter the lotus with his spiritual consciousness and watch the [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm] and the [Six-foot-tall Golden Body].

There's nothing wrong with just trying it out without practicing, but it's also good for expanding your own foundation.

Lord Haotian saw Wang Ming's actions but ignored them. But at this moment, Wang Ming said again: "Ai Lai, I still miscalculated!"

Everyone: "..."

Wang Ming didn't say anything, but just brushed his hand across the lotus in the [Buddha Kingdom in the Palm].

moment,

Several images appeared in the air.

"Assholes! You two...you...Pfft~~"

Yuanshi Tianzun pointed at the image in the sky with trembling fingers, then pointed at Jie Yin and Zhunti. Finally, he, who was already seriously injured, became so angry that he vomited blood.

The image in the sky is exactly the image of Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, Cihang Bodhisattva, and Juliusun, who were recently sent by Dipankara to learn the wonderful Dharma from the West.

This thing was originally evidence left by Master Ran Deng, used to make it impossible for those who detained Sun to regret it later.

result·····
He didn't expect it to be announced on this occasion.

When Tongtian Taoist saw Yuanshi Tianzun vomiting blood in anger, his resentment immediately subsided a lot.

Yuanshi stabbed his long-time brother in the back for the sake of his twelve beloved disciples, but now he told him that four of his twelve disciples were planning to run away and change jobs.

Well····

Do not!
There should be five.

The Taoist Master Ran Deng is actually also a disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun.

Tongtian thought to himself that he was not the one who suffered the most! Then he felt the change in the airflow behind him, and immediately asked Qingyun under him to change direction, away from the two shameless guys behind him.
