Chapter 534: Establish the underworld and create the way to God!
With the appearance of Hongjun Daozu, he restrained the Three Pure Ones with three red pills. Once the pills took effect in their stomachs, even if they were saints, they would die immediately.
This ended the legend of "immortality of saints" in one fell swoop.
From then on, without the approval of Hongjun Daozu, the Three Pure Ones could not personally take action, and the grudges and hatreds between the three religions could only be handled by their disciples themselves.
However, the two saints in the West made enough money. Not only did they instigate a rebellion against Randang, they also recruited three thousand disciples of Jiejiao in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, laying the foundation for the future rise of the Western Sect.
…
Heaven, Lingxiao Palace.
Seeing the end of the battle of ten thousand immortals and the Three Pure Ones being restrained by Hongjun Daozu, Qin Mo knew that the era belonging to the Heavenly Court was finally coming. With a thought, he contacted the incarnation of the demon god in the Netherworld Cave Heaven.
With the help of the Book of Life and Death, he collected the remaining souls of the Twelve Ancestral Witches wandering in Hongmeng Heaven. The Demon God's incarnation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he survived the catastrophes one after another, becoming a three-tribulation celestial being.
Finally, he has the capital to control the underworld.
Qin Mo no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the fact that the Conferred God Battle had just ended, he pointed his finger and the Netherworld Cave Heaven separated from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Tower and fell to the bottom of Mount Tai, the Eastern Peak, in the lower world.
From then on , all dead creatures in the four continents of Hongmeng Heaven would first be judged by the underworld, and then sent to the six reincarnations according to their different crimes and handed over to Houtu for disposal.
As for the reincarnation of the creatures in the major caves of the Jiutian Xuansha Tower, this is not difficult either. Qin Mo has set up a reincarnation millstone in the Netherworld Cave, which can be used to connect to the underworld.
It is equivalent to the two worlds sharing one underworld.
This is also because the Demon God's clone, Bai Qi, the Ten Kings of Hell and others are still weak and cannot be split into two, so they can only adopt a compromise method.
When the underworld becomes stronger in the future, they will be able to separate again.
In addition to establishing the Underworld, Qin Mo also took advantage of the opportunity given by the formation of the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, as the scattered cultivators in the lower world were in a state of panic and anxious to find backers, to recruit a large number of immortals. Before Jiang Ziya could confer the title of deity, he appointed a group of righteous gods of the three mountains and five peaks, thus strengthening Heaven's control over the lower world.
I would like to take this opportunity to
Qin Mo officially extended his tentacles to the Netherworld and the underworld, and initially established his supreme authority as the emperor of the three realms.
When the calamity of conferring the gods was officially over, Jiang Ziya presided over the conferring of gods. The god positions left for the disciples of the three religions were either insignificant or just in name only, and they could not shake the inherent system of heaven at all .
In this regard,
The disciples of the three religions did not care about it at all. Instead, they were happy to have a leisurely and comfortable time.
Everyone is happy!
One day, Qin Mo found Zhuang Zhou and Confucius, two of his disciples, and asked, "Have you made any progress on the things I told you to do before?"
Confucius said: "Teacher, the concept of Shinto has been sorted out and formed. Please consult with me."
Qin Mo took the jade slip and scanned it with his spiritual sense, which revealed everything. A satisfied smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Not bad, you two are worthy of being theoretical masters. I am very satisfied."
After the great calamity of the Conferred Gods, the winning sect, the Orthodox Sect, will completely squeeze out the Unholy Sect and become the mainstream sects in the world, and will be equated with Taoism itself by later generations.
Half of the twelve inner disciples of the Chan sect were killed, and the six who survived had the three flowers on their heads cut off, causing great damage to their cultivation. They were about to rely on preaching in the human world to share their luck and speed up the recovery of their cultivation.
How could they give the disciples of Jiejiao room to perform?
After several years, people in the world only knew about the orthodox teaching, but were not aware of the evil teaching!
As losers, although the Jiejiao was unwilling to accept the result, it had no choice but to retreat completely and disappear from the eyes of the world. It quietly licked its wounds in secret, accumulated strength, and looked forward to the day of its comeback.
The Jade Emperor went down to the mortal world with his clone, founded Confucianism , and also shared a lot of human fortune.
The Western religion was converted to Buddhism and began to emerge in Hongmengtian, with signs of flourishing.
In this way, the Heavenly Court still cannot interfere in the affairs of the lower world and cannot share the fate of the human race. How can Qin Mo be willing? Therefore, after the Conferred God Tribulation began, he gave Zhuang Zhou and Confucius a task.
It is to spread Shinto theories among the people.
The difference between gods and immortals is that gods are born with this status or are achieved and conferred after death, have official positions and constraints in heaven, and cannot be free.
Immortals are achieved through practice, they are free and unfettered by any constraints.
This is also the main reason why the disciples of the three religions are unwilling to be included in the List of Gods, and would rather live freely in the lower world than serve as officials in heaven.
What Qin Mo needs to do is to deconstruct Shintoism and break the inherent cognition of cultivators.
First,
Immortals are certainly less constrained than gods, but freedom is relative, not an absolute concept.
For example, the calamity of the Conferred Gods that just ended. Once the calamity comes, no matter what kind of immortal you are, as long as you are in the calamity, you are likely to fall.
If you have lost your life, what freedom and ease are you talking about?
Not like God,
Not only does he have the insurance of the jade talisman and golden book, he can also enjoy the incense of the human world, exist forever, and not be affected by cause and effect.
Second, God and God’s throne are not the same.
People like Lu Xueqi, Han Fei, Jingwei, etc., although they serve as officials in heaven and have obtained the status of gods, they are still immortals in essence. We can just regard heaven as an alternative sect or school.
Guangchengzi, Jinling Shengmu and other disciples of the three religions seem to be free and easy. Don’t they need to obey the orders of the saints?
The essence is the same.
The so-called freedom of immortals is itself a false proposition. The ancestor of earthly immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, has never been recognized by saints or heaven. He is just a self-satisfaction of a small circle.
The great calamity is coming,
How can there be any freedom?
It can even be said that Zhen Yuanzi seemed to be the most free, being neither controlled by the Heavenly Court nor constrained by the saints. He was unrestrained and had the same lifespan as heaven and earth. However, when the infinite calamity came, he became the first victim.
Because I have no backing...
There are lessons to be learned from this. As ferocious as the dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes are, and as powerful as the lich tribes are, none of them ended up well. Their so-called glory was only temporary.
Third, it is difficult for mortals to become immortals, but easy to become gods.
In order to strengthen his infiltration into the human race and the secular world, Qin Mo decided to expand the scope of deification. In the mortal world, loyal and brave civil officials and generals could be deified after their death, chaste and heroic women could be deified after their death, and filial sons and grandsons could be deified after their death.
Even those who do good deeds, have great reputations, and have accumulated blessings can be deified after death.
It is equivalent to stealing Buddhism’s job.
Because the new Shinto theory was a blend of Confucius' Confucianism and Zhuangzi's Taoism, it was equivalent to snatching away the jobs of the human religion and the expounded religion.
The ambition is huge.
When a mortal becomes a god, he or she may be conferred as a mountain god, land god, city god, kitchen god, water god, river god, door god, and other secular gods, thereby further strengthening the heaven's control over and penetration of the human world.
The ultimate goal,
It means that people in the world only believe in Shintoism, and do not believe in the three religions!
"While the Zhou Dynasty is just beginning, you two should go down to the mortal world and spread Shinto theories," Qin Mo said.
"Disciple obeys your command!"
Zhuang Zhou and Confucius understood clearly, and finally realized why their master had not arranged official positions for them in heaven until now. It turned out that he had already planned this. They were shocked.
