Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 431: Climbing Jade Mountain for the Third Time, Fuxi's Reincarnation
Chaos outside the sky.
The Conference of Ten Thousand Immortals lasted for ten thousand years. According to the custom formed since the Taoist ancestors preached in the past, the conference was divided into three sessions, one lasting three thousand years, and the remaining thousand years was a break to consolidate the gains.
The great gods and ancestors may not need it. At their level, it is difficult to increase their cultivation. The thousands of immortals communicate, their thoughts collide, and they unravel the mystery and see the great truth.
If you realize it, you will get it.
But the lesser gods and immortals are still outside the Great Dao. In a large conference , thousands of thoughts and principles are like a hodgepodge, which they have to swallow all at once. If they don't digest it, they will get bloated.
It can be predicted that after this conference, the immortals who can digest what they have gained will definitely achieve great improvement.
"There are merits in front and great ways behind. If the road ahead is not clear, I will fail the Taoist master and the expectations of my predecessors!"
The immortal whose seat was first snatched away held a scripture in his hand and saluted the holy disciple.
Sheng Shen nodded secretly, but said: "It's all due to chance. How much you can gain is up to you. I should thank you and the Taoist master. It has nothing to do with me. In the future, you should do more good deeds. Don't rely on the merit of opening the world to kill people indiscriminately, so as to be entangled in karma and cut off the path of Taoism!"
When the immortal heard the first half of the sentence, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he felt a little disappointed. Then his expression straightened up, and he bowed and said, "I will definitely remember your teachings!"
"That's great!"
Shensheng nodded and laughed, then waved his sleeves and left.
He never left his Taoist name from beginning to end.
He is alone, without any disciples or followers, and now he does not want to be involved in this cause and effect.
There are many sacred people like him. When his work is done, he leaves without a trace, hiding his achievements and fame. Whether we can meet again in the future depends entirely on fate!
"Master, we still have the responsibility to protect the world, so let's say goodbye now."
The four supreme beings bowed to Mingyu, and each left behind a Taoist body to sit in the outer worlds and maintain the operation of the world, and then left together.
"Master Lingzun, could you please confer titles on the priests of the various realms of mountains and seas?"
After the powerful men left, the three ancestors of the human race came to Mingyu and looked at him eagerly.
Mingyu smiled and said, "You guys built the priest's hall so quickly?"
Suiren chuckled and said, "After the opening of the world, we established the Temple of Creation in the various worlds of mountains and seas, including the Temple of the Goddess, the Temple of Life, the Temple of Marriage, the Temple of Life, the Temple of Sacrifice, the Temple of Martial Arts, and other buildings. In the future, depending on the development of our clan, we will probably add more. This is the heritage of our clan, and we can't be careless."
"By the way, Lord Lingzun, we plan to migrate some talented humans to settle in the mountain and sea realms. What do you think?" A wise look flashed in Youchao's eyes.
Mingyu didn't comment. He said, "Just make it your decision."
Afterwards, accompanied by the three ancestors of the human race, he traveled around the mountains and seas and appointed many priests and messengers.
The layout of the mountain and sea realms is very similar to that of the prehistoric world, but it also has its own characteristics. There are towering mountains, vast sea of fog, mountains surrounding the sea, and mountains in the sea.
The mountains are hidden in the sea fog, the sea exists in the wilderness, the fairy air is ethereal, and there is also a sense of wildness and antiquity.
"Good!"
Mingyu nodded.
When he left, the mountains and seas were filled with spiritual energy, and the blessing and light lingered for a long time.
The Three Ancestors of the Human Race were overjoyed upon seeing this: "Thank you, Master Lingzun!"
…
The gods left or dispersed, some returned to the wilderness, and some stayed beyond the heavens.
This time the grand spectacle of opening up the world was unprecedented, with tens of thousands of immortals coming together in the wilderness, making the whole world less noisy and much quieter.
Many creatures actually did not understand what happened exactly during this period, but the disappearance of all the immortals was indeed terrifying, and they thought there was some big horror going on.
It was not until Fu Ze's fortune declined, the primeval spiritual energy changed drastically, the acquired spiritual energy returned to the innate, and even the wilderness gradually became full of vitality, that all living beings realized how great changes the gods had brought to the primeval world.
The gods created the world to make up for the chaos, which greatly improved the environment of heaven and earth. The living space and resources of all living things also expanded at once, which eased the development contradictions among living beings to a great extent.
Thousands of immortal gods have gained something from this, more or less. All matters outside the sky have been successfully completed, and they also have to continue exploring their own paths. Even if they have the mind to do so, they don't have the time to go out and mess around.
Thus, the prehistoric world ushered in a period of true peace after the great catastrophe.
All living beings cultivate themselves, all gods retreat into seclusion, the sky is clear and the earth is quiet, the whole place is peaceful.
Zhen Yuanzi in Wuzhuang Temple watched this with a smile.
This was his time and he was happy with it.
When an earthly immortal rules the world, what he wants is stability.
All beings live in peace and their hearts are settled.
"Mingyu, Mingyu, I really should thank you." Zhen Yuanzi looked up at the sky at Wuzhuang Temple, feeling deeply moved.
Heaven.
After the Great Emperor Changsheng returned to the ancient world, he went straight to the south of the heaven, where he rebuilt thousands of palaces and built his own Shenxiao Palace.
After Haotian and Mingyu returned, they went straight here.
“Fellow Daoist, your Shenxiao Palace is not grand enough!” Seeing that the Changsheng Emperor settled directly in the heaven, Haotian was not angry but overjoyed.
This means that the other party wants to invest in Heaven and join us!
With such a great help, Haotian would be happy to see the Shenxiao Palace become more magnificent.
The Great Emperor Changsheng shook his head. "After you return to your position, you will be the Great Celestial Lord. You and I are of similar status, but we must distinguish between the primary and the secondary, lest the immortals do not know your majesty in the future, causing the power of heaven to fall into the hands of others. This is the best for the Divine Sky Palace."
The seven emperors of the Demon Court have the same status, but the Heavenly Court is still ruled by the Emperor of Heaven. This is the reason.
When Haotian heard this, the smile on his face widened and he exchanged greetings with him again.
Mingyu waited for the two to finish their chat before saying, "Now that Tianquan is about to return, the Heavenly Palace is gradually taking shape. Three thousand years later, we should go to West Kunlun again and invite the Queen Mother of the West to take charge of the Heavenly Palace."
Haotian nodded solemnly, "This matter is urgent at the moment. I wonder what Mingyu can teach me about inviting the Queen Mother of the West?"
He is not afraid of others sharing his power, he is just afraid that others will not come!
The Heavenly Palace is not even a half-finished product yet. When I ascend to the throne of Heavenly Emperor, wouldn’t it be a joke if there are more people watching the ceremony than there are people in the Heavenly Palace?
When the demon clan’s heaven was established, there were seven emperors. No matter how bad I am, I should at least get three, right?
Mingyu knew what Haotian was thinking, so she smiled and said, "I have nothing to teach you. Once you get to West Kunlun, just tell the truth and speak kindly. That lady is a reasonable person and won't make things difficult for you."
Haotian felt relieved when Mingyu said this.
"Then let's get ready and set off in three thousand years?"
"It's time to prepare."
Mingyu smiled.
…
Three thousand years later, Haotian went to West Kunlun again.
Mingyu went with him.
After a long time, Mingyu's heart couldn't help but be a little disturbed when she came here again.
He came to the foot of the sacred mountain of West Kunlun, but saw only white fog but no mountain gate. The fog flowed from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside, and the white veil covered his face, making it vague and unclear, so he could not see his true appearance.
"When we were outside the sky, Queen Yaochi didn't talk to me. I don't know if we can go up." Seeing that the West Kunlun Mountains were shrouded in fog and there was no entrance, Haotian suddenly became worried.
Mingyu smiled and said, "I'm here, so just take it as a relief."
Haotian sneered: "That's right!"
If you bring Mingyu but still can't invite the Queen Mother of the West, then there is really no chance for you to come.
West Kunlun was covered by clouds and fog, and Mingyu's consciousness was also isolated.
He thought for a moment, took out the Queen Mother's Golden Book, held it in his hand, and then bowed to the mountain: "Mingyu came here to fulfill the promise made that year, and will meet Senior Yaochi with the Emperor of Heaven!"
As soon as the words fell, the clouds and fog dissipated, revealing a winding mountain path.
"That's all?"
Haotian was stunned and his eyelids twitched.
“It’s that simple.”
Mingyu shrugged and said, "We are family, so let's not talk about different things. To be honest, I am also the god of guiding the West Kunlun. In the ancient times, I was the one who guided the last female fairy in Upper West Kunlun!"
After hearing this, Haotian fell silent again.
He discovered that there was no place in this world where Mingyu couldn't make his way!
"Let's go!"
Haotian felt somewhat dejected and depressed, and headed straight towards the mountain path.
"Hey, wait a minute!"
Mingyu called him.
Haotian turned around: "What's wrong?"
"Don't be so anxious, someone will come to greet us." Mingyu said.
"Is there anyone to greet you?"
Haotian's expression changed, and there was a hint of sourness in his tone.
He came twice, but couldn't see the mountain gate.
When Mingyu arrives, is there anyone to pick her up?!
Haotian looked up at the mountain. The mountain path was winding and shrouded in clouds and mist. The mountain was hidden in the mist and people were walking in the mist.
Someone actually came!
Not only did people come, but there were quite a lot of them.
The female fairies in West Kunlun were extremely excited when they learned that Mingyu had arrived.
Two teams of peerless female fairies, led by Xuannv and Qingniao, came down the mountain path to greet them.
…
The East China Sea was filled with blue waves, and a bull’s roar was heard like thunder. The Shangqing sage Tongtian rode the Kui bull out of the Jin’ao Island and went straight up to the thirty-third heaven.
On the sacred mountain in the west, lotus flowers grow on the flat ground. Two saints of the Western religion step on the pure lotus without dust or dirt and go straight into the thirty-three heavens.
The white cranes of Kunlun formed a formation to clear the way; with a dragon roar, the Jade Purity Sage Yuanshi Tianzun rode on a four-legged beast to meet us.
The green ox rises on the clouds, and Laozi, the Taoist saint of Taiqing, rides the green ox to the east.
Purple air comes from the east for thirty thousand miles, and clear air fills the universe. Billions of golden lamps are shining, and fragrant lotus flowers are growing in the west.
The five saints bowed their heads in greeting.
Suddenly, I heard the sound of heaven shaking.
The Five Saints looked up.
All I saw was the colorful rays of light, as gorgeous and beautiful as brocade and satin.
Laozi smiled and said, "Nuwa has arrived."
The saints nodded.
Since creation came from the sky, the saint Nuwa has been in the world, with a variety of scenes.
The saints were slightly startled, and Zhunti was the first to speak: "The goddess has made further progress, congratulations!"
The saints nodded: "Congratulations!"
"But I gained a little." Nuwa smiled and bowed.
Nuwa repaired the sky and saved the world, and gained a lot of Xuanhuang merits. The thoughts of all living beings were clear and the holy heart was raised, so it was difficult for her cultivation not to increase!
"Zhen Yuanzi is about to step down, the Emperor of Heaven is about to return to the throne, and the great era of humanity is about to begin. I wonder when fellow Taoist Fuxi will be reincarnated?" Laozi rarely showed a worried look. He looked at Nuwa, waiting for a reply.
To be honest, Xuandu went to the underworld to urge Fuxi several times, but each time he came back confused. Fuxi's true spirit was still in the world and had never been reincarnated.
Now that the great era of humanity is approaching, Laozi, who has always been calm, is no longer calm. If Fuxi doesn't go, will humanity still flourish?
Besides, he’s your own brother, aren’t you really anxious?
The five saints looked at Nuwa together, and Nuwa had a calm expression.
She is really not in a hurry.
No matter how early or late you go, the seats are all there, who can grab them?
However, the Five Saints had specially invited her to discuss this matter, and she didn't want to lose face for them, so she replied: "Since you fellow Taoists are so anxious, I will help you relieve your worries."
As soon as he finished speaking, his sleeves suddenly rose, and a red light fell into the underworld. While Meng Po was astonished, he rolled up a bowl of soup and then fell into the six reincarnations.
Not to mention Meng Po was surprised, even the Five Saints were stunned.
Laozi frowned, he looked at the Western Ghost King who was still in the underworld, and after some calculations, everything became clear to him.
"I made a mistake before, isn't this the real one?"
No wonder people are unwilling to reincarnate.
I remained silent. I didn't expect that after all the fuss I had, I ended up with such a misunderstanding.
Turning around, he saw Nuwa looking at him with a half-smile. Laozi coughed lightly, and Yuanshi immediately understood. He stepped forward and said, "The most precious treasure of humanity, Kongtong Seal, seems to be in the hands of the goddess?"
Nuwa raised her eyebrows slightly, "The Kongtong Seal was found by my brother on the Treasure Dividing Cliff. Now I am keeping it for you. I wonder if Daoist Yuanshi has any advice for you?"
The voice was calm, but it suppressed the thought that had just arisen in Yuanshi Tianzun.
Tianzun felt disappointed and took a step back.
Tongtian saw this and continued, "The Kongtong Seal is related to the highest karma of humanity, and the karma of humanity that will be born next is both numerous and valuable, so, we think..."
"Want to take away the Kongtong Seal?"
Nuwa frowned, and a miniature version of the Heavenly Sword appeared between her fingers. She started playing with it with her jade fingers.
The eyelids of the Five Saints twitched in unison.
Tongtian's mouth twitched, and he quickly stopped talking and looked towards Zhunti.
Zhunti could only bite the bullet and say, "Your Majesty, you misunderstood. We meant..."
"Five together?"
Nuwa seemed to be smiling.
Zhunti almost choked to death.
Laozi and others were also amazed by it.
Can people still talk properly?
But Nuwa’s attitude was so resolute that their plan was likely to fail, so they had to change the plan.
The four saints looked at Jie Yin together.
Jie Yin's face showed pain for a moment, and he bowed to Nuwa on behalf of Zhunti.
"Borrow treasure!"
He spoke very quickly and concisely, for fear of being interrupted.
"How do I borrow it?"
Nuwa's beautiful brows finally relaxed.
Laozi said, "My three brothers have calculated together that in the great era of humanity, there will be three Holy Emperors and five Great Emperors. The positions of the eight directions all depend on this treasure, so we hope that the goddess can lend this item to us when the time comes to complete the destiny of our four religions."
"Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"
A hidden divine light flashed in Nuwa's eyes.
She looked at Laozi and said, "There are eight lords in the Karma Position. How do you four sects want to divide them?"
This is too blunt, I can't accept it.
Zhunti stepped forward again, "Your Highness, you are joking. How can the four sects of us talk about the division of the kingdom without your help? Besides, the candidates for the eight positions of honor should be from the human race. We will not interfere. We just want to seek assistance and the right to confer titles."
"Is that true?"
Nuwa asked.
“It’s true!”
The Five Saints nodded.
Assisting the Holy Emperor and the Great Emperor to certify their positions, and then presiding over the enthronement ceremony, both the merits and fortune would surely be enormous, which would be a great temptation for the four religions.
Nuwa did not comment on this. She said, "You can borrow the Kongtong Seal!"
The five saints were overjoyed.
"but……"
Nuwa looked at them and said, "You must do two things for me."
The five saints looked at each other, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please speak!"
Nuwa nodded: "First, the emperor of humanity is determined by man, not by heaven."
Upon hearing this, the Five Saints were all stunned. They looked up into the sky and then back at Nuwa.
I couldn't help but ask, "My Lady, do you want to..."
"Just tell me whether you should or not!"
The saints did not reply and were all perplexed.
Especially Yuanshi Tianzun, his mission is to follow the will of heaven. The conditions proposed by Nuwa are obviously against the will of heaven. How can he agree to them?
“Your Majesty, you should know that Heaven’s full support for the development of Humanity is not without price. The Emperor and King of Humanity will be under Heaven’s control after their mission is accomplished. This is…” Tianzun paused and pointed upwards.
Nuwa said calmly: "So?"
Yuanshi was quite helpless when he saw this, so he simply said: "Heaven is the order, in charge of the wilderness, it has been destined since the teacher was chosen, otherwise the teacher would not have gone to the netherworld, and the way of heaven would not have suppressed the way of earth.
Humanity was born late and has not developed as well as earth. It is not easy for it to have a chance to flourish. Why should Your Majesty force it?"
Even though the underground is independent now and not under the jurisdiction of heaven, why don’t you take a look at who is the master of the underground and who is the master of the underworld?
Hou Tu and Ming Yu are both guests of the Heavenly Dao’s Purple Sky!
Mingyu is the direct disciple of the Taoist Patriarch.
If it were someone else, Youming would have become a sieve long ago!
Putting aside other things, do you think the Five Saints are not jealous of the Emperor of the Underworld, the Five Ghost Emperors, the Ten Kings of Hell, etc.?
If the King of Fengdu was not Mingyu, do you think the Five Saints of Heaven would come out to make plans?
So what if someone else strikes first?
Of course, first come first served.
But you could add a sentence at the end - later they were robbers!
If possible, the Five Saints of Heaven wouldn't mind being robbers for once!
Similarly, the earth is subject to the control of heaven to a certain extent, let alone humanity which has not even developed its own will.
The emperor of human nature is determined by man, not by heaven.
In other words: human rights are autonomous and are not controlled by heaven.
As one of the administrators of the Heavenly Dao, how could the Five Saints be willing to agree to this condition?
