Taoist Master Xuanhuang

"Master, to be honest, even the extension is difficult for us to handle!"

The porter said sadly.

What seems like an insignificant issue to Xuan Huang is a matter of life and death to them.

Indeed, it is just an extension. How much of a threat can it be? There is really no way. If you can't afford to provoke it, can't you just hide from it?
Unfortunately, the Taishan realm is not good, you can't afford to provoke it, nor can you hide from it.

The extensions of Huangquan and Tianting are right at our doorstep, how can we hide from them?
"Are there creatures from the two worlds threatening you?" Xuan Huang asked.

"Not yet." said the porter.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Xuan Huang really didn't understand.

"But, but it's like a thorn in the back, like a fishbone stuck in the throat, and it's like walking on thin ice!" said the porter.

Xuan Huang understood what was said.

It's like having two guns pointed at your chest. Even though the guns are currently in a misfire state and no bullets are fired, you can't guarantee when the trigger will be pulled. This is what they are worried about.

"What do you want me to do? Block these two extensions?" Xuan Huang asked.

"That would be best, but we know it's impossible. The only request of the three great masters is that you, the Taoist master, can help us when a crisis occurs. In return, you can propose any conditions you like." said the porter.

"Oh? Do you think so?" Xuan Huang asked puzzledly.

"Isn't it?" asked the porter.

"That's right." Xuan Huang didn't point it out.

It turned out that they didn't know that they had the ability to block or completely make an eight-day extension disappear.

Come to think of it, after I took control of Guixu, there were some things I did that outsiders really didn't know about.

For the sacred, the strange extension of eight days cannot be eliminated, they do not have the ability to do so.

The strange extension of Eight Days is the most special and strange. The degree of strength depends entirely on the degree of attack received. If you are weak, he will be weaker, and if you are strong, he will be stronger.

Belonging to the external tentacles of the Eight Heavens, just imagine how such an existence could be weak.

Xuan Huang's ability to swallow the stone mill was incomparable. He was the god of Guixu, so he could swallow it.

Ordinary people, even if they are holy, do not have the ability to destroy the extension of eight days.

This is the knowledge that the divine has received, no wonder they can't think of it.

“Let’s not talk about the conditions for now. Just hand over the control of the two major heavenly realms to me.” Xuan Huang said.

Since they misunderstood, let them misunderstand.

Xuanhuang can completely eliminate this extension. It is very simple to erode it with the will of Guixu. It is a collision between the two heavenly realms.

The sacred cannot destroy the extension, but Guixu can.

However, Xuan Huang didn't want to get rid of it, so he might as well take it over himself and build a Taoist temple in the two great worlds.

"You agree?" the porter said excitedly.

"I agree." Xuan Huang said.

It just so happens that the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the Lord of My True Self are currently idle, so let one go to heaven and the other go to the underworld, separating the two, so that they won’t quarrel all day long.

Xuan Huang felt that they were quarreling out of sheer idleness and would stop quarreling as long as they were separated.

The other angels are very busy, and the Lord of All Living Things has been sitting in Qingyun Mountain on behalf of Xuanhuang, in charge of all the causes and effects of the cultivators in the world.

Although the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the Lord of My True Self also have this responsibility, it is a burden that can be easily handled without using hands or brains.

This little bit of burden is as easy as breathing for them. Go and open up two great heavens.

Whether it is the underworld or the heaven, both are very important heavens, so the earlier you enter, the earlier you will plan.

Judging from the degree of welcome he received from Ba Tian, ​​it goes without saying that he would gain a lot if he went there. Maybe there would even be a ready-made dojo prepared for him.

Except for the very beginning dream world, Xuan Huang had low cultivation and little luck at that time, and was very inconspicuous. The dream world did not pay much attention to Xuan Huang's entry. Instead, because Xuan Huang brought the Gate of Time and Dream into the dream world, it robbed him of some of his rights.

Because of this, Xuan Huang was ignored.

In addition to the dream world, the second world that Xuan Huang went to, the Sea of ​​Bitterness, was different. The Sea of ​​Bitterness directly sent him to Yujing Mountain, a magical place, a magical place that Xuan Huang still couldn't figure out.

The entire sea of ​​suffering is a sea of ​​suffering where countless souls struggle to cross.

But in this sea of ​​suffering, there is a mountain on the other side. If you climb up it, you can escape from the sea of ​​suffering. It’s magical to think about it.

The third eight days to enter is the Blood Sea Realm. The same treatment is given, and you are directly taken to the Burial Ground. It is also a magical place. Not to mention how precious it is, just the intersection of the Blood Sea Karma Fire Realm and the Yellow Spring is very precious.

Once you go to heaven or the underworld, I think you will receive the same treatment.

Compared to the human world in the main world, Batian treats Xuanhuang better, and the treatment is simply incomparable. When he arrives, he is given land and wealth, and he doesn't ask for much. It's nothing more than Xuanhuang's taking over and driving His development.

It was really good, the kind that made me cry to death.

Although the Blood Sea Burial Ground is the junction of the three realms, because Xuan Huang has been practicing and has not spent the time to explore it, he has never found the passage to the other two realms.

Now that another passage to the underworld has been delivered to his doorstep, Xuan Huang does not intend to miss it.

There is another reason. There is an important premise for Xuan Huang to do this.

It is all about increasing one's own bargaining chips, all for a breakthrough.

Once the causal ties between Xuanhuang and the eight opposing sides of the main world increase, it will be equivalent to strengthening one's own bargaining chips, which is equivalent to obtaining more immunity from the Heavenly Dao.

Once it condenses to a certain degree, that is, the cause and effect and luck of the Xuanhuang bond are great enough, even the Heavenly Dao will have to think more about any ideas it wants, after all, it involves too much.

This is the most important reason why Xuan Huang wants to take over for two days.

……

"That's great, that's great, thank you, Taoist Master, for not holding a grudge against me." The porter kowtowed to Xuan Huang excitedly.

I didn't expect the Taoist master to agree to me so easily.

He didn't ask for any price at all and didn't make things difficult for himself at all.

"What I want cannot be given by your mere realm. As for the price... I'll talk to you after I think about it." Xuan Huang said proudly.

I'm not bragging, there really is no such thing as seeking the truth in the realm of Mount Tai.

"Yes, yes, yes, you are so kind." What could the porter say and he could only nod in acknowledgement.

If anyone else said this, the sacred beings in the Taishan realm would be angry, but Xuanhuang really has nothing to say.

The Taoist master has a precious treasure, the Spirit-Suppressing Stele, which is something that one cannot possess even if one gives up everything.

“In a while, the Lord of Heaven and Earth and the Lord of True Self will go with you. The Lord of Heaven and Earth will go to the underworld, and the Lord of True Self will go to heaven. You don’t have to worry about the others. Everything will be decided by my two great clones.” Xuan Huang said.

"Yes, yes!" the porter was very excited.

The Taoist master directly excluded his two major spirits. This weight was really aimed at solving the problem, not fooling himself. As for the Taoist master going there in person, forget it.

It is difficult for the Taoist master to go out as he is always being watched by heaven and earth. We cannot ask him to do so.

"If there is nothing else, please leave first."

Xuan Huang waved his hand and asked him to go out and wait.

Next, a group of Taoist realms headed by Penglai and several top Buddhist realms were invited in.

It can be seen here that within the Xia Kingdom, the power of Buddhism and Taoism is really strong, with four or five top-level realms each.

Even if there is one Lord in each realm, there are five or six in total.

In addition, after all, it is not the serious Taoist and Buddhist system of immortals and Buddhas, and the so-and-so powerful person that the public believes is the Lord.

That is to say, there is no very strict system. What the public considers to be great immortals and Buddhas may not necessarily be at the level of the Lord, and what the public considers to be middle-level immortals and Buddhas may actually be at the level of the Lord.

This also leads to the fact that although Buddhism and Taoism have many top-level realms, it is difficult to completely integrate them. Taoism is still stronger, while Buddhism is much more chaotic.

To give a very intuitive example, some Bodhisattvas are Venerables, while the Sixth Patriarch Huineng is at the level of Venerable Master.

They have communicated over the years, and gradually began to use honorifics according to their levels. All other titles were abandoned. It is said that being powerful is not enough. Only if you are powerful in strength can you be truly powerful.

Everything is divided according to strength.

The same is true for the level division of Buddhism. The sixth level is the Buddha, the fifth level is the Bodhisattva, and the fourth level is the Arhat.

As for Taoism not being re-divided, they don't like this. They can call it whatever they want and don't care.

It was also the first time that Xuan Huang saw the sacredness of Buddhism and Taoism.

Although their human tradition holds that Xuan Huang is the reincarnation of the Taoist ancestor and the Buddha who has gone through tribulations, the sacredness of these Buddhist and Taoist ancestor is not widely acknowledged.

It’s simply that Xuan Huang is too strong. His strength is beyond my imagination, and his speed of progress is even more beyond my imagination. I have slowly accepted it in recent years.

However, they still do not accept complete recognition.

"Greetings to Taoist Master Xuanhuang." The group of real people and arhats were very respectful.

Buddhas and Bodhisattvas do not recognize the Lord of Taoism. That is the business of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. We are just small true Arhats, and we recognize the Lord of Taoism.

To put things in perspective, as the weak, they have no reason not to respect the strong.

"Get up. This is the first time I meet you all. How is it? Is it as you believe in the traditions of the human world, that I am the reincarnation of the Taoist ancestor or the Buddha who experienced tribulations?"

Xuan Huang was not too polite. After all, sects have always been troublesome.

Never look down upon any religious sect. Where there is organization and management, power and selfish desires will inevitably arise, and this cannot be solved.

They are just people with higher cultivation, and as human beings they have flaws.

The group of real Arhats were stunned. They didn't expect the Taoist master to ask this. How should we answer?

"Amitabha, I believe that Buddha is not only the Buddha with boundless power, but more importantly, he has great compassion and great merits. Master, your merits and your spreading of Dharma throughout the world make you the Buddha." said an arhat.

Eloquence is their gift.

There is really nothing wrong with this sentence. As long as you have boundless merits, as long as you are compassionate, and as long as you save all living beings, you are the Buddha.

"There are thousands of Taoist methods, and you are the ancestor of them all. You created an invincible method in the world, opened up a way for all living beings, and established a mind for heaven and earth. I think you are the ancestor of Taoism." Those who follow Taoism will also do the same.

They all responded to Xuan Huang's difficult question.

"Hahaha, it seems you didn't misread the sutra, not bad, not bad."

Xuan Huang seemed very satisfied with this answer, but it didn't matter whether he was really satisfied or just satisfied.

So what if they are immortals or Buddhas? They are just rootless duckweed. It is very easy for me to cut off their future.

The Buddhist and Taoist traditions that they inherited from the human world have long been theirs. Once their roots in the human world are gone, they will be like rootless trees that will fall down with a single push.

Just like ordinary people are the foundation of monks, without billions of ordinary people, the monks would be like losing their roots, and would not last long.

"There are many Dao ancestors, but there is only one Dao Master. I believe that you are the Dao Master in Penglai Realm... Although we are immortals and Buddhas, we are like rootless duckweed that cannot withstand strong winds and waves. Everything we have comes from the sustenance of living beings, not from self-cultivation. We really have no capital to be proud of. Dao Master, you have cut through thorns and brambles, worked day and night, and have collected all the magic power into yourself. There is no comparison..."

The real person in the Penglai realm said that we are different.

This long and righteous speech fully demonstrates that we believe that you are the Taoist Master and we are different.

To be honest, this impact was a bit shocking to others.

I knew that fellow Taoists in the Penglai Realm were very rebellious, but I didn't expect them to be so rebellious.

Starting from Lu Dongbin, the only sacred being who "rebelled" in the Taoist world, later it was even more excessive, even the Venerable Chunyang "rebelled", it was indeed different.

Having arrived here, they are even more determined to recognize Xuan Huang. They really don’t understand why this is so.

The reason is simple. It's because he is far away from Xuanhuang. What you hear is not as true as what you see. The sacredness of the Penglai realm has impressed him many times after witnessing the incredible power of Xuanhuang.

The more times you are convinced, the stronger your psychological endurance will be.

And the most important thing is, Penglai belongs to the Taoist Xuanmen, and they are all free and easy immortals. You can call them great immortals or scattered immortals. In short, they are the kind that are free and easy and have boundless magical powers.

But how can one have any freedom with the sacred identity of the realm?

They are very dissatisfied with such an identity. Their current common goal is to change their path and become immortals, not to become a god.

The whole realm is in rebellion, there is nothing we can do about it.

On the contrary, the immortals and Buddhas in other places are much more disciplined. They are very formal and there are some rebellious ones but not many.

For example, a very intuitive example is that after Venerable Chunyang was reincarnated (they reincarnate after entering the human world to practice the great way), the Venerable who now presides over the Penglai realm is called Nezha.

It may be because of the sea disturbance, plus the fact that the birth of the sacred is random in nature, and it is just the sustenance of human beings. Don't expect the birth of some immortals and gods to be perfect.

Nezha was born in Penglai, a place known for its rebellion. There are many such sacred creatures in Penglai, or it can be said that all the rebellious people were placed in Penglai.

"What this fellow Taoist said is absolutely right. The world is simple. Whoever is stronger has the final say. How can there be any reason or logic? It's all nonsense. The Taoist master holds the lifeblood of all of us, and his power is gained through self-cultivation. What capital do we have to be proud of? Although I am a Buddhist disciple, I fully agree with the Taoist's point of view. Amitabha."

A monkey-like Buddhist disciple agreed loudly.

His speech was not at all like that of a Buddhist disciple; he behaved like a monkey. It seemed like he came from the Flower-Fruit Mountain.

If it's one man and one monkey, it's simple and crude.

This immediately made the Arhat and the Taoist, who had seemed to have responded very cleverly, feel ashamed and feel that what they had just said was nonsense.

He thought his answer was very clever, but it was completely ruined by this man and this monkey.

People believe in strength.
