No taboos in the world

Chapter 617: Wuzhuang Taoist Meeting, Tang Seng is becoming more and more different
Wanshou Mountain, Wuzhuang Temple.

This place is usually quiet and peaceful all year round, but today it is extremely lively with many visitors.

People from Jiejiao, Chenjiao and Buddhism were often seen, and immortals from heaven and gods from the underworld showed up one after another. Even powerful people like the ancestor of the Styx and the Queen Mother of West Kunlun who traveled outside the saints' sects and the heaven and the underworld came.

Qingfeng and Mingyue stood on both sides of the door acting as welcoming boys. They were both genuine Daluo Jinxian and would never lose face for Wuzhuang Temple.

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, the seemingly small Taoist temple expands with a large space avenue. Hundreds of long desks are arranged in order, and the fairies shuttling among them are all sent from the Heavenly Court.

Before the Taoist ceremony officially began, fairy music was played in the temple and the fairy Chang'e performed a dance.

The immortals and gods tasted the spiritual fruits and watched the dance and music without feeling bored.

"The Tathagata Buddha has arrived!"

Hearing the voice, people from the Buddhist sect and those independent cultivators who had no major power or background in the world stood up one after another.

The gods in heaven are just pretending.

Only the people of Jiejiao and Chenjiao seemed to have not heard it.

Even if Tathagata entered the temple, they pretended not to see him and continued to do their own things.

Fortunately, Tathagata did not cause trouble for himself, otherwise a fight might have broken out on the spot.

"The Golden Spirit Mother has arrived!"

Compared with Tathagata, the Golden Spirit Mother is the acting leader of Jiejiao, and her status is not inferior at all. It is obvious that the reputation of Jiejiao or the impression of the powerful people on Jiejiao is much better than that of Buddhism.

Furthermore, at today's Wuzhuang Taoist gathering, everyone did not come here just to eat, but to listen to Hong Chen preach the Hunyuan Taoist Fruit.

The saint's Hunyuan Daluo Dao Fruit is certainly what everyone desires, but in reality it is out of reach.

On the contrary, the realm of Hunyuan Jinxian that Hong Chen is in can be compared to a quasi-saint when converted into the method of beheading the three corpses.

There were many immortals and quasi-saints present, and they were eager to gain experience and nourishment beyond the Three Corpses Killing Method from Hong Chen's Hunyuan Zhengdao Method, so as to urge themselves to go further.

The largest number of Daluo Jinxians are more eager to obtain another great path besides the method of beheading the three corpses.

Long ago, the Taoist ancestor preached three times in Zixiao Palace, during which he mentioned the method of Hunyuan, but he never explained it in detail.

Over the years, most of the Daluo Jinxian in the prehistoric times would choose to use the method of beheading the three corpses to complete a breakthrough when they reached the peak of the Daluo Jinxian realm. During this period, no Hunyuan Jinxian had ever appeared.

But today.

Apart from the six saints who possess the Hongmeng purple energy, no one else can achieve the status of a saint.

However, the Hongmeng purple energy, which is known as the "foundation of saints", has never reappeared except after the six saints attained enlightenment.

Therefore, the Golden Immortals were eager to find another way.

Hong Chen's attainment of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal was a brand new hope in the eyes of the Daluo Golden Immortals.

Although I don’t know whether the Hunyuan method can make one a saint, it at least seems to have a higher probability than beheading the Three Corpses.

Considering that Hong Chen also served as the acting leader of Jiejiao, he led Jiejiao to successfully survive the great calamity of Conferred Gods and avoid the danger of abnormal overthrow.

Therefore, they naturally have to be much more polite to Jiejiao!

"The Emperor of Heaven is here!" Qingfeng and Mingyue at the door suddenly sang loudly.

Everyone in the audience stood up.

Seeing Haotian, dressed in a white-gold imperial robe, walking towards them with his hands behind his back, everyone saluted: "Greetings to the Emperor of Heaven!"

It is said that as early as when Haotian first followed the order of Daozu Hongjun and jumped from a boy in Zixiao Palace to become the emperor of Honghuang, although the powerful people in Honghuang at that time revered Daozu, they were disdainful of the boy Haotian.

The Taoist is the Taoist, and the boy is the boy; they are quite distinct from each other.

Besides, Haotian's cultivation at that time was not very high and his strength had not been demonstrated, so it was no wonder that everyone looked down on him.

However, times have changed. After Haotian ascended the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, he quickly consolidated his foundation through various means and tore open a piece of the world among the top forces in the prehistoric world.

Afterwards, Haotian went deeper into the cycle of reincarnation, experienced many disasters, and after returning to heaven, he ascended to heaven in one step and killed three corpses in a row, instantly becoming the pinnacle quasi-saint under the prehistoric saint.

In this way, these people have no choice but to be respectful.

To this day, in terms of cultivation, Haotian is only one step away from becoming a saint; in terms of power, the Heavenly Court is no less powerful than a saintly sect; in terms of authority, the Heavenly Court is established in accordance with the Way of Heaven, and the Underworld of the same status cannot catch up now.

The title of Heavenly Emperor has long been well deserved.

Furthermore, the Jade Emperor sitting high in the Heavenly Palace today is the benevolent corpse of Haotian. Normally, people cannot see Haotian even if they want to. But now that they have met him, how can they not observe etiquette?
Look at this ancient world, it is still full of human relationships and worldly affairs.

Haotian smiled and nodded, waving his hand and said: "Today is the Wuzhuang Taoist Association, the main venue of Zhenyuan Daxian, everyone does not need to be polite."

Zhen Yuan Daxian came forward and said, "Your Majesty, although this is my Taoist temple, I am not the one in charge today. To be honest, if I had said that I wanted to talk about Hun Yuan Dao Fruit, I am afraid there would not be so many guests here today."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the immortals and gods spoke up to save his reputation.

After some chatting and laughing, Zhen Yuanzi led Haotian to the front and sat down.

Everyone was drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

until……

"The Emperor Xuanling has arrived!!!"

The voices of Qingfeng and Mingyue suddenly became louder, and even Hong Chen, who was standing in front of the door, was startled.

With a swish, all the guests in the temple stood up and turned to look at the door at the same time.

Hong Chen didn't know what was going on. He took out two star fruits and stuffed them into Qingfeng and Mingyue, then pinched their heads.

In fact, he had wanted to do this for a long time, but he felt that they were much older than him. Although they looked like boys, they were actually elders.

But now that Hong Chen’s age has broken five digits, he suddenly doesn’t think age is that important anymore.

It's like an eighteen-year-old man finding an eight-year-old girlfriend. Everyone would say he is a pervert.

But if a fifty-year-old man finds an eighteen-year-old girlfriend, everyone would be envious and praise him for being awesome.

The age span is obviously larger, but the results are different.

Qingfeng and Mingyue obviously didn't care about Hong Chen's mess. They just puffed their cheeks into buns. Their pretended angry expressions made them look even more adorable.

Hong Chen stepped over the threshold with a loud laugh. Qingfeng and Mingyue smiled as they put away the star fruits, closed the door of Wuzhuang Temple, and followed closely behind him.

Looking past the attic that was dedicated to heaven and earth, I saw hundreds of eyes staring at me.

"Meet the Great Emperor Xuanling!"

Except for a few elders or senior brothers and sisters such as Haotian, everyone else bowed to greet them.

When it comes to seniority, they have to respect it; when it comes to strength, they have to be even more in awe of it.

When it comes to cultivation, everyone is here to listen to Hong Chen talk about Hunyuan Daoguo, so how can they act rashly?

Hong Chen stepped inside, raised his hand with a smile and said, "Don't be polite! Although today's event was organized by Zhenyuan Daxian and I on a whim, I also want to listen to everyone's opinions. So, today, let's borrow the precious land of Wanshou Mountain to exchange our experiences with each other, without distinction of importance."

Zhen Yuanzi stepped forward and led Hong Chen to the main seat on a high place.

Hong Chen would not refuse him and sat down directly with great openness.

Seeing that everything was quiet, Hong Chen picked up the spiritual fruit and took a bite, then said to the fairy Chang'e in the hall: "Fairy, why are you standing here? I just arrived here, it's not too much to ask me to eat something, right? Keep playing the music, and keep dancing!"

The fairy Chang'e laughed and nodded in response. The next moment, the fairy music started again and Chang'e danced again.

If Zhu Bajie knew that this scene could happen in Wuzhuang Temple, he would probably stay there and refuse to leave.

During the banquet, Hong Chen kept looking towards the Jiejiao.

Yunxiao had a smile in his eyes, while Qiongxiao and Bixiao looked a little guilty, glaring at him from time to time.

After a long time, Hong Chen had enough food and drink, and waved his hand, and the fairy music suddenly stopped.

In an instant, everyone below sat up straight.

After looking around, Hong Chen immediately started speaking.

As the sound of Tao came out, it immediately attracted clusters of golden lotuses on the road and bursts of nine-colored divine light.

The Hunyuan Dao Fruit rises on the top of the head, and the Taoist charm of the mortal world permeates leisurely.

In this lecture, Hong Chen was selfless and open-minded. No matter whether the people in the audience were friends or enemies, he simply opened up the Way of Hun Yuan to everyone.

In fact, he himself also very much hopes that someone can embark on the path of Hunyuan like him.

In this way, he will have a fellow Taoist with whom he can communicate.

Hong Chen's Hunyuan Dao Fruit can be called the Great Road of the Red Dust.

Although this avenue has not yet reached the level of Hunyuan Daluo, its complete release at this time in the prehistoric world also caused the three thousand avenues of the prehistoric world to shake.

This is something that a quasi-saint cannot do. From this point of view, the method of Hunyuan is indeed superior to the method of beheading the three corpses.

Of course, this does not mean that the method of beheading the three corpses is bad.

Taoist Hongjun, his background and luck are both the best in the prehistoric world.

The path he can choose will definitely not be a dead end.

It’s just that the method of beheading the three corpses may be suitable for Hongjun, but it may not be suitable for others.

With Hong Chen's current realm and the favor he receives from the three realms of heaven, earth and man, he can already vaguely guess Hongjun's whereabouts.

Pangu split the chaos with his axe and created the primitive world.

When chaos first began, the universe was founded. The light and clear air rose up to form the sky, and the heavy and turbid air condensed down to form the earth. Eventually, a big world was formed, called the Great Desolation.

Chaos becomes one, the great way is harmonious.

Pangu created the sky and began to separate the clear and the turbid.

The first clear air and the first turbid air that were born at that time connected to the chaos above and the primeval world below.

They came from chaos and were born in the primeval world. They have extraordinary luck and supreme talent.

The first pure energy took shape as Hongjun; the first turbid energy took shape as Luohou.

Therefore, Daozu is definitely not an earthworm, nor is he the Chaos Demon God who was chopped to death with an axe by Pangu and bleeds all over the chaos.

He and Luohou were the first creatures born in the ancient times.

From this point of view, the method of beheading the three corpses does have drawbacks, but this drawback may not exist for Taoist Patriarch Hongjun.

Hong Chen's preaching was profound and concise, and he only talked about Hunyuan Dao Fruit, so he stopped after three years.

After waiting for everyone to absorb it, Hong Chen looked at Zhen Yuanzi.

Zhen Yuanzi looked at Haotian.

Haotian nodded and began to preach without hesitation, but he only lectured for less than three months. Since the Three Corpses Killing Method had been basically studied thoroughly, he also interspersed some of his insights into the great Dao.

Afterwards, Zhen Yuanzi, Tathagata, Jin Ling, Nan Ji, Minghe, Queen Mother of the West and others came on stage one after another.

Although the Immortal of the South Pole was not among the Twelve Golden Immortals, he had practiced under Yuanshi Tianzun earlier, and his Dao Fruit cultivation was more profound than that of Guangchengzi. Although he fell in realm after his corpse was beheaded, he would not bring up old grudges in the current situation.

After the quasi-saint finished speaking, the Daluo Jinxian came on stage.

Don’t think that there is nothing to say just because the Golden Immortal is not as powerful as a Quasi-Saint.

In fact, the Dao fruits of some quasi-saints are not even as good as those of the Daluo Jinxian who have been accumulated for a long time.

It is just like Hongchen’s old friend Taibai Jinxing. Although this old angel is a Daluo Jinxian, his Daluo Dao fruit is extremely condensed. If he wants, he can use the innate spiritual treasure as a support to complete the corpse beheading at any time, and even imitate the Emperor of Heaven and beheaded the three corpses in a row.

However, Taibai Jinxing obviously does not pursue quasi-saint level combat strength. It can be said that he has achieved great success in the way of Hunyuan Daluo. But from another perspective, perhaps he originally wanted to pursue a broader and more complete path of Hunyuan Daluo?

In short, looking at the many Daluo Jinxians in Wuzhuang Temple, Hong Chen can conclude that the first person to embark on the Hunyuan Road and achieve the Hunyuan Jinxian must be Taibai Jinxing, and there is absolutely no doubt about it!
Later on, the performance of the Orthodox Sect's Daluo was average. Their state of mind has not yet been completely corrected, and they will definitely not be able to cultivate the Hunyuan Method in their current state.

The requirements for the unity of Hunyuan are naturally extremely high.

Among the Jiejiao, the Three Sky are the most recommended Daluo Golden Immortals. With Hong Chen personally guiding them, they will surely succeed in the future.

In Buddhism, there is a gap in the Golden Immortals, but if someone can truly implement the essence and teachings of Buddhism, it may not be impossible to achieve Hunyuan.

Besides, there are not many Golden Immortals in the underworld. After the underworld is fully revived, it will not be difficult to inherit the luck of the underworld and obtain the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

In West Kunlun, most of the Golden Immortals under the Queen Mother of the West have excellent talents and personalities. Perhaps they will be able to achieve the Golden Immortal of Hunyuan after Taibai Jinxing.

Inside the Wuzhuang Temple, Qingfeng and Mingyue already have the appearance of the Hunyuan Golden Immortals.

Seeing that everyone was promising, Hong Chen actually felt relieved from the bottom of his heart.

The stronger they are, the stronger the prehistoric world will be.

The more profound their great ways are, the more powerful and stable the three thousand great ways of the ancient world will be.

No wonder the three worlds of heaven, earth and man favor me. It turns out that what I care about more is the primitive world.

This discussion lasted for five years.

Five years later, everyone gained something. After waking up, they paid homage to Hong Chen and Zhen Yuanzi in turn before gradually leaving.

Haotian stayed until the end. He smiled and asked, "The Wuzhuang Taoist Conference was really worth the trip. I gained a lot. I really want to thank Taoist Zhenyuan and Xuanling."

Zhen Yuanzi smiled and shook his head: "I should thank Xuan Ling. I feel that the five years of listening to the teachings have been more useful than practicing for five Yuanhui."

Hong Chen raised the corners of his lips slightly: "I think Uncle Master and Taoist Zhenyuan are reluctant to eat the feast."

The three of them laughed in unison and it took a long time before they dispersed.

Hong Chen transformed himself into a mortal Taoist priest again, wearing green clothes and a wooden hairpin, riding a dull horse, and continued to move westward.

At this time, Tang Seng and his disciples had also gone through many tribulations. They had just left the Kingdom of Bhikkhu, defeated a fox spirit, and revealed the true form of the White Deer Spirit.

Because the Immortal of the South Pole was listening to the teachings in the Wuzhuang Temple, he gave the task of bringing back the White Deer Spirit to the White Crane Boy.

It’s a pity that the White Crane Boy has no face in front of Sun Wukong. After he appeared, Sun Wukong was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The White Crane Boy could only angrily explain his origins to Tang Seng and ask him to ask Sun Wukong to release the people.

However, Tang Seng knew that the source of the children's hearts being dug out for medicine in the Kingdom of Monks was the White Deer Demon. This time he did not ask Sun Wukong to stop, but instead hinted with his eyes.

Although Sun Wukong was surprised when he received the hint, he was more happy, so he immediately raised his golden cudgel and killed the White Deer Demon on the spot.

After the White Crane Boy angrily took the White Deer Spirit's corpse away, Sun Wukong said to Tang Monk, "Master, you seem to be a little different from when we first met."
