No taboos in the world

Chapter 587: Achieving the Golden Immortal
Yaochi Banquet.

Hong Chen's real body was still in Xuanling Mountain to practice Taoism, so he asked Bai Chen's clone who stayed in the Xuanling Imperial Palace in Heaven to attend the banquet.

The seven fairies came to pick him up for the banquet, but because they were only at the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, they did not know the story of their interactions with Hong Chen in the Three Realms.

However, although Hong Chen did not approach them directly, he still treated them like a friend.

After all, no one knows when in the future they will achieve enlightenment and become the only one in the universe.

Accompanied by the seven fairies, they arrived at the Yaochi Lake, where the sounds of singing and music floated into their ears.

Hong Chen stopped and turned around: "Thank you fairies for showing me the way." He pushed out seven gourds and said, "These are the pills I made in my spare time. They contain the Daluo Dao rhyme, which should be helpful to the fairies."

The ability to refine pills with the Daluo Daoyun is something that only those at the Daluo realm can master. This kind of pill is usually simply called the "Daluo Golden Pill."

This kind of elixir is of no use to practitioners below the Golden Immortal Realm, because they are simply not qualified to absorb the Dao rhyme contained therein. On the contrary, it is possible that the powerful Daluo Dao rhyme will allow them to directly transform into Dao after taking the elixir.

What is transformation?

That is, the flesh, blood, soul and even the true spirit of the whole body can no longer remain firm under the influence of the Tao, and eventually all of them are transformed into the power of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

It is equivalent to this person disappearing directly from the world.

However, if they are in the Golden Immortal realm, no matter if they have just entered the Golden Immortal realm or are picking the Taiyi Dao Fruit, the Daluo Golden Pill will become their most desired thing.

In short, when the Golden Immortals take the Daluo Golden Elixir, their immortal golden nature can resist the power of the Dao, and the Daluo Dao rhyme that can be perfectly utilized becomes an accelerator for their practice.

However, if too much Daluo Daoyun is used to refine pills, it will have a certain impact on the Daluo Jinxian itself.

Therefore, Daluo Jindan is extremely rare, and usually only the elders in the sect will refine some for the younger generations who are eager to break through or are stuck in a bottleneck.

After receiving the Daluo Golden Pill, the seven fairies were extremely surprised and delighted. They all bowed together, saying in a gentle and graceful voice: "Thank you, Great Emperor, for your generous gift!"

"You're welcome. I hope you can achieve enlightenment soon. The Xuanling Imperial Palace welcomes you all."

The seven people smiled and thanked again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hong Chen nodded, turned around and walked into the Yao Chi venue.

Many people had already arrived at the banquet in advance, including Tathagata from Buddhism, Guangchengzi from the Chan sect, Jinling Shengmu from the Jie sect, and other leaders of major sects. Saints rarely come out nowadays, and these quasi-saints are already the most powerful in the Three Realms, only one level lower than the three thousand guests in the old Zixiao Palace, such as Minghe, Zhenyuanzi, Kunpeng, etc.

The chief seat, Haotian, did not look middle-aged but a young man, wearing a platinum imperial robe, which was extremely precious.

Hong Chen walked into the arena in a crimson robe, and everyone looked at him.

Tathagata remained calm, Guangchengzi nodded slightly with a stern face, and the Golden Spirit Mother nodded with a smile.

Haotian above laughed and said, "Hahaha, Xuanling, you are late. Take a seat quickly and drink a glass as a punishment!"

Hong Chen smiled and nodded, and found his seat facing Taishang Laojun on the right.

The position of this person is higher than that of the great powers of the three religions, and is second only to Laozi.

But everyone knows that Taishang Laojun is the benevolent corpse of Taiqing Saint. Even though Laojun is refining elixirs in heaven every day and rarely shows up, no one dares to disrespect him.

Then the position where Hong Chen sat down at this time was equivalent to Haotian clearly confirming his status in the Heavenly Court.

In layman's terms, he is the second in command of heaven.

Emperor Xuanling, who governs all the stars above, controls all the spirits in the middle, and governs the underworld, is indeed worthy of this position.

If you change to thin and easy to bake, you'd better go to bed immediately.

But then again, today's Yao Chi event is not just a gathering of the three religions' great powers. The backbones and younger disciples of the three religions, and even Da Shang and Xiqi have sent mortals as representatives.

The representative of the Shang Dynasty was Crown Prince Yin Jiao, and the representative of Xiqi was Ji Chang’s eldest son Ji Yi.

Those who can sit here have some understanding of the great calamity of the Conferred Gods that evolved from the heavens and myriad worlds.

If Yin Jiao was glad that he did not become a god in the Three Realms, then Ji Yi was filled with fear and anticipation.

What he feared, of course, was being made into meat patties by Emperor Xin and eaten by his father, and what he was looking forward to was naturally the eventual Emperor of Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei.

Even though everyone laughed at Bo Yikao for not being worthy of the title of emperor, no matter how well he performed as an emperor or how powerful he was, at least his status as one of the Four Imperial Emperors was real.

However, nowadays, the power and responsibilities of Emperor Ziwei have been replaced by Emperor Xuanling, and there will never be a similar throne appearing in the Conferred Gods in the future.

This made Bo Yikao feel quite complicated.

Although his eyes and expression when he looked at Hong Chen at this time were full of awe and respect, how could he hide the little tricks in his heart from Hong Chen, the Golden Immortal?

Besides...

Hong Chen glanced at Guangchengzi. Everything that Bo Yikao knew was probably said by Guangchengzi. And judging from the indifferent expression of this leader of the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, it seemed that everything Yunxiao had said before was about to become a reality.

I'm afraid that the Chan sect will no longer cooperate with the Jie sect.

So what will they do next?

Hong Chen thought about it for a moment and couldn't help but shook his head.

The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.

Even if the evil consequences of the evolution of the heavens are clearly laid out before them, it may not necessarily prompt some people to change.

Because when the knife didn't hit the original body, they would always think that the clone of the Ten Thousand Worlds was not strong enough. If it was their own original body, there would definitely be no bad consequences, etc...

When a person desperately wants to do or not do something, he can always find countless reasons.

Otherwise, in the prehistoric world today, there would not be only Lu Ya and the remaining monsters left in the Demon Court, and the Witch Clan would not have suffered heavy losses again.

The dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes back then must have seen the fate of the tribes in the other world, but didn’t they end up taking the same path?
Now, everything in Hong Chen seems to have changed, but if you look deeper, you will find that in fact there are not many major changes at all.

The dragon clan is still entangled in karma, the demon clan is still defeated and retreating, and the witch clan is still huddled in the underworld.

So why do we demand changes in the teachings?

If Hong Chen had not suddenly appeared and directed his attack directly at the Western Land and Buddhism in the confrontation with Xiqi and Chanjiao, the current situation would probably not be much better than before, even without Zhunti's conspiracy.

If that’s the case, what is the purpose of the emergence of all the heavens and worlds?
Is it really just to provide a reference experience for the powerful people in the ancient times?
Or were they originally part of the primitive world, but were dispersed for various reasons, and then blossomed into bright and complex flowers and produced fruits of various flavors in each world?

Is this the operation driven by the way of heaven, or is it that when Pangu created the world, he did not just want a primitive world, but his original intention was to have a world with a hundred flowers blooming in all colors, which is completely opposite to the chaos of misty darkness?
Is this the true future of the prehistoric world?

At the Yaochi banquet, the music stopped at some point, the dancing fairies stood still, and the great men of various religions attending the banquet held their breath, staring at Hong Chen who suddenly entered a state of enlightenment in astonishment and shock. The Golden Spirit Mother even came directly to Hong Chen, staring at Tathagata and Guangchengzi with a covetous look, fearing that they would suddenly take action and interrupt Hong Chen's enlightenment process.

Even Haotian, who was sitting on the first seat, although he had already reached the great perfection of the quasi-sage realm, could not help but flash a look of amazement in his eyes when he looked at his brilliant deputy, Emperor Xuanling.

Everyone talks about talent, but in daily life, apart from one's specific background and the speed of one's practice and enlightenment, it is difficult to truly see where talent lies.

Now, I happened to catch a glimpse of the embodiment of talent.

Being able to have sudden epiphany even in the middle of a noisy banquet, what else could this be but talent?
At this moment, Hong Chen's aura suddenly changed, and clearly layered avenues appeared one after another.

The most brilliant and dazzling thing is the great way of sword that he has studied deeply. The vast and boundless river of swordsmanship is surging, crossing the gate of heaven from Yaochi, passing through the underworld from the human world. In the surging river, countless sword cultivators are crowding in groups with the precious swords condensed from their own swordsmanship, filling the long river of swordsmanship. There are heavy swords, thin swords, soft swords, wooden swords, blue, red, yellow, white, black, different lengths, and different spirits.

The further you cross the Endless River and go upstream, the fewer sword cultivators there are.

Gradually, the Qingping sword that had suppressed the ancient world and the heavens for countless years came into view.

And behind the Qingping Sword, there was also a unique blazing white fairy sword that was glowing brightly.

The sword seemed to be made of pure white light, shining blindingly.

In the ever-present light and shadow, there are men and women, young and old, relatives and friends, mortal enemies, eternal entanglements, the seven emotions, the ups and downs of good and evil, the attainment of the Tao, the mediocre life, emperors and generals, and ordinary people...

It seems to encompass everything.

thereafter.

The six realms of reincarnation, the stars in the sky, the thunder and lightning, the yin and yang, the marriage, the rotation of space, the passage of time, the birth and death of the five elements, the phantom light, the rising of the great array, the lingering breeze, the fierce fire refining, the plants turning into pills...

The avenues emitted a brilliance that was difficult to conceal, causing constant exclamations in the Yao Chi. The brilliance of the avenues illuminated the three realms of heaven, earth and man.

“All these great ways are perfect…” The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit was also surprised. “This junior fellow disciple is truly gifted. No wonder the master chose him…”

Tathagata's eyes narrowed slightly, and the speed of the Buddhist beads in his hand increased quietly.

Guangchengzi pursed his lips tightly, and his hands hidden in his wide sleeves clenched tightly.

Usually, as long as the Golden Immortal has perfected one great path, he will be ready to break through to the Quasi-Sage realm by beheading corpses.

Even if there are people with extraordinary talents, if they cultivate three or five great ways to perfection and break through to the Quasi-Sage level, their combat power will be top-notch. If they can cultivate eight or nine perfect great ways, they will sooner or later become top Quasi-Sages.

People like Hong Chen, who not only achieved the Dao of the sword but also cultivated thirteen other perfect paths, are even rarer.

Of course, as mentioned above, saints are not included, nor are those great masters with supernatural powers who were born in ancient times.

The true spirit of the saints is entrusted to the way of heaven, and the three thousand great ways are almost no secrets to them, so this is the root of why they are like ants below the saints. The improvement of the saint realm is no longer the inherent three thousand great ways, but it is based on the three thousand great ways to improve or even open up other things. This is the origin of the saints' great teachings. The great teachings can also be said to be the experimental tools for the saints to improve their own unique great ways.

As for those ancient masters with great supernatural powers, they have enough time to comprehend more great principles and reach the state of perfection.

Thirteen avenues circled around the blazing white fairy sword, and the aura of each avenue continued to flow towards the fairy sword during the rotation.

In a moment, the immortal sword that had absorbed the power of thirteen perfect avenues took another big step closer to the Qingping Sword in front.

At the same time, the aura around Hong Chen was swirling, neither bright nor dark, as if it was there and not there.

The luck of the Nine Dragons soars and is injected into the immortal sword.

The three auras of heaven, earth and man are injected into the immortal sword.

The immortal sword vibrated, and endless aura returned to its original state, revealing its true nature above the long river of swordsmanship. It was Hong Chen's true spirit!

At this moment, the three paths of heaven, earth and man resonated, auspicious colors bloomed, and golden light illuminated the entire world!
In Hunyuan, the vitality is not divided, and chaos becomes one, which is the beginning of vitality!

At this moment, Emperor Xuanling has attained the Dao of Hunyuan and become the Hunyuan Golden Immortal!
As we all know, there are three paths to enlightenment and sainthood.

First, merit and virtue prove the truth. This is the case for all the six saints in the prehistoric world.

The second is to kill the corpses and prove the truth. The Taoist ancestor Hongjun was the pioneer. In the realm of Daluo Jinxian, he killed the three corpses one after another, and finally the three corpses merged into one, proving the truth and becoming a saint.

Third, Hunyuan attains enlightenment.

Just like Hong Chen, he returns his own great way to its origin, becomes one with everything, and possesses everything, thus becoming the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, also known as the Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

This state is similar to the quasi-saint state after beheading a corpse, and both are transitional states before becoming a saint through the righteous path.

As the saying goes: Without the ultimate primordial chaos, there is no way to reach the pre-natal state; without the ultimate mysterious virtue, there is no way to reach the sage.

After achieving Hunyuan Dao Fruit, one must hold on to Xuan De, open up the Hunyuan Heaven and Earth, experience the Five Pre-Heavenly Tai, and finally attain Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

Therefore, Hunyuan's method of attaining enlightenment is also called attaining enlightenment through force.

Attaining the Dao of Hunyuan means that from this moment on, Hong Chen has officially become a powerful being second only to the saints in the prehistoric world.

And to prove the Dao of Hunyuan with the fourteen perfect great ways means that he does not need to go through countless epochs of practice, and he can become a top-notch Daoist comparable to the ancient great masters!

This is the feedback from the Tao, and it is also the foundation of practicing and realizing the Tao.

In an instant, the long river of swordsmanship that ran through the ancient world suddenly converged, and all the strange phenomena slowly calmed down.

Hong Chen's real body, who was in Xuanling Mountain in the western land of the prehistoric world, instantly replaced Bai Chen's clone and sat down in the Yaochi banquet!
I opened my eyes and looked around quickly, and all I saw were evasive looks.

Only Laojun closed his eyes and lowered his head, while Haotian stared motionlessly.

"I have just realized something. I shouldn't have disturbed your interest." Hong Chen bowed: "I apologize to you all."

A series of "I don't deserve it" voices came one after another.

Tathagata and Guangchengzi continued to remain silent.

Previously, Tathagata did not dare to really fight with Hong Chen, but now Hong Chen's realm has really caught up with him. According to Hong Chen's estimation, Buddhism still has to take action, otherwise it will be suppressed by Jiejiao and Chenjiao and collapsed on Lingshan Mountain.

As for Guangchengzi...

This Golden Immortal, who had always looked down on Jiejiao, was no longer an advantage over Hong Chen at the quasi-saint level. The rift in the cooperation between Chenjiao and Jiejiao continued to widen, and was almost on the verge of collapse.

The Conferred Gods still have to change, and it seems to have returned to the original camp and appearance.

"Oh, the way of heaven!" Hong Chen sighed in his heart and raised his glass to invite all the immortals to drink together.
