Chapter 529: Emperor Gou Chen
With the Three Pure Ones signing the List of Gods, the great calamity of the List of Gods officially began.
Soon after,
Qin Mo quietly left the lower world and came to Wuyi Mountain, not for anything else, just to find two independent cultivators who were practicing in Wuyi Mountain - Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.
The Battle of the Gods,
At the invitation of Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, Zhao Gongming went down the mountain to help. He used the innate spiritual treasure, the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls, to defeat the people of the Chan Sect in a panic. He chased the Taoist Master Ran Deng all the way to Wuyi Mountain, where he met Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao by chance.
In no mood,
I actually met my nemesis.
Although Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were not very powerful, they had a rare treasure - Luobao Gold Coins.
In the world of "Honghuang", the Luobao Gold Coins obtained by Wanshi Zhenjun are replicas refined by Zaohua Daozu. Their power is extraordinary, not to mention that they are the original ones.
As soon as the Falling Treasure Money was sacrificed, Zhao Gongming's Dragon Binding Rope and Dinghai Divine Pearl fell one after another. Unfortunately, the Falling Treasure Money could only drop treasures but not weapons.
In the fight,
Xiao Sheng was beaten on the spot by Zhao Gongming with a magic whip, his brain bursting and he was listed on the List of Gods.
The funniest thing was that the surviving Cao Bao was so pedantic that he managed to seize the Dinghai Shenzhen Pearl, but with a few words, he gave it to the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
After the Battle of the Gods ended, the Taoist Master Ran Deng immediately rebelled against the Chan Sect and joined the Western Sect. He used the Dinghai Divine Pearl to evolve the Twenty-Four Gods and created the Ancient Buddha Ran Deng.
Qin Mo came to Wuyi Mountain this time not to covet the Luobao Gold and Silver. That was the companion treasure of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao. Unless the two were killed, it would be difficult to get it.
Once killed,
The calamity of Conferred Gods is currently in the midst, and the two of them will have to go to the Conferred Gods Platform to take up their posts in Heaven.
Isn't that embarrassing?
Besides, there is no need for Qin Mo to kill people all his life for this treasure and create unnecessary cause and effect.
As he was speaking, Qin Mo had already arrived at Wuyi Mountain. With a sweep of his spiritual sense, he came to a pine forest, and under the green pines, he saw two monks, one in a red robe and one in a green robe, playing chess.
The cultivation is not high.
They are all just celestial beings of the second stage of decline.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were playing chess when they suddenly felt a strong pressure coming. They were startled and turned around to see Qin Mo walking towards them. They were shocked and asked, "Emperor Haotian?"
"It's me!" Qin Mo smiled and nodded. "I happened to pass by here and sensed the presence of the two Taoist friends. I came here to pay you a visit. Is it not too abrupt?"
"No offense!"
The two of them quickly stood up and bowed, "Xiao Sheng (Cao Bao), greets the Emperor!"
Saying,
The two invited Qin Mo to sit under the pine tree and took out Wuyi Mountain's unique fairy tea to entertain him.
"Do you two fellow Taoists have any religious inheritance?" Qin Mo asked knowingly.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao looked at each other, and Cao Bao said, "I dare not hide it from the emperor. The two of us are independent cultivators who have been practicing in Wuyi Mountain for many years. We have no sect inheritance."
"Then, would you like to follow me to heaven to be an official?" Qin Mo asked.
"this……"
The two looked at each other, wanting to refuse but afraid of offending Qin Mo.
After all, he is the Emperor of Heaven...
After a moment's hesitation, Cao Bao answered, "The Emperor is so kind, and we two shouldn't refuse. But we two brothers have been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years, like idle clouds and wild cranes. We are afraid that we will disappoint the Emperor's expectations after we ascend to heaven."
But he politely declined.
"That makes sense," Qin Mo did not rush to refute, "Under normal circumstances, the two Taoists could be free and easy, but the Conferred God Tribulation has begun, and I'm afraid I can't escape from it. If you're not careful, you'll be caught in the crossfire."
Qin Mo is not exaggerating.
Countless independent cultivators, some were invited out of seclusion by good friends, some tried to curry favor with the Chan and Jie sects, and some suffered unexpected disasters and lost their lives in this great catastrophe of heaven and earth.
"The Great Tribulation of Conferred Gods?" Cao Bao was surprised.
"What? Don't you know?" Qin Mo was also speechless. These two people were quite idle. He didn't know what kind of luck they had accumulated to be able to obtain the treasure money.
"Not long ago, the Three Pure Ones jointly signed the List of Conferred Gods, which started the catastrophe of Conferred Gods. All the cultivators in heaven and earth are in the catastrophe, and once they die, they will have to go to the Conferred God Platform." Qin Mo explained.
"this……"
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's expressions changed constantly. Since these words came from the Emperor, they were definitely not false.
"If we two close the door tightly, it should be alright, right?" Cao Bao said.
"No," Qin Mo smiled and shook his head, "The calamity of heaven and earth changes in myriad ways, and under the entanglement of cause and effect, even if you close your cave and recite Huang Ting every day, there will be a day when disaster strikes from the sky."
The two men's expressions changed again.
Qin Mo went on to say: "Joining the Heavenly Court is different. This Conferred God Tribulation is meant to fill the vacancies in the Heavenly Court. As long as you two become immortals in the Heavenly Court, you will be able to escape this tribulation.
"Also, if you two fellow Taoists don't like the atmosphere in Heaven, you can continue to practice in Wuyi Mountain as long as you leave your name on the Jade Talisman Golden Book. How do you think?"
"really?"
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao were really tempted.
"Don't joke!"
The two looked at each other and finally gave in. "In that case, let's meet the Emperor!"
"Very good!" Qin Mo took out the jade talisman and golden book, and said solemnly: "Xiao Sheng, I confer upon you the title of the Ministry of Finance Zhaobao Tianzun! Cao Bao, I confer upon you the title of the Ministry of Finance Nazhen Tianzun"
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao expressed their gratitude.
…
After bidding farewell to Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao and leaving Wuyi Mountain, Qin Mo did not rush back to heaven, but came to Nandanbu Prefecture and found Kong Xuan, who was the general of Sanshan Pass in the Shang Dynasty.
That's right.
The famous Kong Xuan was still serving as a general in the Shang Dynasty at that time.
During the Battle of the Gods, Kong Xuan served as the marshal of the Shang Dynasty and blocked the Zhou army at Jinji Ridge. He used his unique skill of Five-Colored Divine Light to repeatedly defeat many immortals and generals of the Chan sect, including the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
Even when Lu Ya faced the five-colored divine light, he had no choice but to run away.
Kong Xuan defeated Nezha and Yang Jian, and beat the Zhou army led by Jiang Ziya without any chance to fight back, forcing Jiang Ziya to hang up a banner of not wanting to fight. Later, he was subdued by "Zunti Taoist", one of the two saints in the West, and returned to the Western Paradise. He became the mount and disciple of Zhunti Taoist, and was named the Peacock King.
Later, he was ordered to help Zhou and assisted the Taoist Zhunti in attacking the Sect Leader Tongtian of the Jiejiao during the battle against the Zhuxian Formation.
This shows how powerful he is.
What Qin Mo couldn't understand was why such a ruthless character, who was not from Jiejiao, would be a general in the Shang Dynasty? If it weren't for the Conferred Gods War, no one would know his reputation.
Qin Mo was even more surprised when he saw Kong Xuan in person.
This guy actually has the cultivation level of a Golden Immortal!
What is the purpose?
Qin Mo was puzzled and had no confidence in subduing the great general Kong Xuan.
Unexpectedly, Qin Mo just proposed that Kong Xuan follow him to heaven to command the heavenly soldiers and generals, Kong Xuan agreed without saying a word.
"????"
Qin Mo was so surprised that he didn't react for a moment.
Kong Xuan saw it and said in dissatisfaction: "Why, does the emperor look down on me?"
"no,"
Qin Mo shook his head, "It is a blessing for the Heavenly Court that you can join it." He took out the Jade Talisman and the Golden Book on the spot and said solemnly, "Kong Xuan, I want to confer upon you the title of Emperor Gou Chen, commanding 300,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. Are you willing?"
Nominally,
The four marshals and the four heavenly kings headed by Sun Wu were all under the command of Lu Xueqi, the goddess of the Dou Mu. However, Lu Xueqi did not understand the art of war and was not familiar with military affairs. She was just a figurehead.
Kong Xuan was different.
Not only is he extremely powerful, but he is also well versed in military affairs, making him the best candidate to lead the heavenly troops.
In this way, Lu Xueqi can also concentrate on the affairs of the stars. She can lead the constellations, the Heavenly Gangs and the Earthly Evils to sort out the stars in the nine heavens and be responsible for the operation of the Zhoutian Star Array.
It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"I do!"
Kong Xuan felt very satisfied and grateful that Qin Mo trusted him so much. He was finally no longer a wandering ghost and had a home to stay at.
otherwise,
Nor would he, as a Golden Immortal, mingle among the mortal world and be rejected by the orthodoxy.
