No taboos in the world

Chapter 649: Looking back at the past, the devil has no heaven

Time seems to be the least worthy of attention in the ancient times.

Because the lifespan of most prehistoric creatures is so long that they usually spend hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of years in seclusion or a simple sleep.

That is to say, although the present-day world seems quite peaceful, there is actually a catastrophe still going on. Otherwise, most of the powerful people would probably spend this period of time in enlightenment.

The same is true for Hong Chen.

If it weren't for Journey to the West, he would have fallen asleep by now.

By the time he wakes up, at least several thousand years will have passed.

However, even if Hong Chen wanted to be lazy, drink and sleep well, there would always be someone to disturb him.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Hong Chen rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the Guanyin in front of him helplessly.

Guanyin's expression was even more helpless than his. She waved her hand and placed a tea tray, and the spiritual spring water in the pot gurgled.

As you brew tea from the kettle, steam rises from the cup and as the tea leaves expand, strange visions such as Buddha, Bodhisattva, real dragon and phoenix appear one after another.

The fragrance that spread quickly dispelled Hong Chen's sleepiness a little, making his eyes more lively.

"Good tea, a specialty of Lingshan?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded: "That's right."

After her demonstration, a cup of pure golden, dazzling tea came in front of Hong Chen.

Raising the glass and taking a sip, Hong Chen's eyes became brighter.

When he finished drinking the cup, he put it down and couldn't help but sigh: "Guanyin, you don't treat me as a friend."

Guanyin Bodhisattva was stunned and asked in confusion: "What does the emperor mean by this? In my heart, I have long regarded the emperor as a true friend, even a confidant."

Hong Chen shook his head: "No, no. If you really regard me as a friend, why didn't you share some of this good tea with me during all the times we met before?"

Hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly explained: "The Great Emperor has misunderstood. The tea trees on Lingshan Mountain can only be picked once every 30,000 years. This time they have just matured, and I just happened to have something to ask for, so I went to Lingshan to pick tea first, and then came to visit Xuanling Mountain."

Hong Chen then smiled with satisfaction, reached out and poured himself another cup, and said, "So that's how it is, then it's all right."

Seeing this, Guanyin couldn't help but laugh.

After drinking a cup of tea, Hong Chen returned to the topic.

"You came to see me because of Kong Xuan?"

"The emperor is wise, that's exactly what he is doing."

Hong Chen frowned: "Kong Xuan blocking the way is something we have already discussed. Feng Yu's role as the person who will resolve the calamity has also been made clear. What else is wrong?"

Guanyin sighed softly, "If this goes smoothly, I would not dare to disturb you. But the emperor probably doesn't care about the journey to the west. Kong Xuan has taken Tang Sanzang away, and Sun Wukong has found Feng Yu under my guidance. I respectfully ask her to come and help, but..."

Having said this, Guanyin paused.

Hong Chen immediately understood and asked, "Feng Yu is unwilling to help?"

"It's not that she is unwilling to help, but she set three conditions for Sun Wukong." Guanyin looked helpless.

Hong Chen: "Sounds familiar?"

Guanyin sighed again: "Feng Yu must have paid attention to the disaster of Fengxian County on the way to the west."

"Oh~ I remember now, the chicken eats up the rice, the dog licks up the noodles, and the fire burns through the lock?" Hong Chen couldn't help laughing as he said this.

This is a disaster specially set up by the Jade Emperor.

Although it was not a battle scene, this disaster did cause considerable trouble to Sun Wukong and his two brothers.

To this day, Hong Chen still remembers that when he saw this scene as a child, he was worried for them.

"What are Feng Yu's three conditions? They can't be the same." Hong Chen asked curiously.

Hearing this, Guanyin's face twitched slightly, then she sighed and said, "She wants Sun Wukong to shave off all his hair, and Zhu Bajie to be so thin that his ribs are exposed."

Hong Chen couldn't help laughing.

This Feng Yu is a playful person.

God knows why Yuan Feng, who was once so graceful and dignified, would become like this after reincarnation.

"These are just two conditions. What about the other one? What does she want Sha Wujing to do?"

Guanyin pursed her lips.

Seeing this, Hong Chen's eyes turned and he asked in surprise: "Could the third condition be related to the Bodhisattva?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva immediately laughed bitterly and said, "Yes, it was me who went with Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie to seek her help that day."

"So that's how it is. Then what are her conditions?" Hong Chen did not give up asking because he was really curious about it.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Hong Chen with a look that said "Are you polite?"

Hong Chen remained calm and looked at her with the same smile.

In the end, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who gave in first.

After all, who asked her to ask for help?

"She wants me to return to my past Dharma body and not change it within ten thousand years."

"Oh~"

Hong Chen was startled.

The Dharma body of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the past was a real man!

That is, after she rebelled against the Chan sect and joined Buddhism, she went through repeated preaching and teaching, and finally chose a new female Dharma body and fixed it on this basis.

It is not difficult for Guanyin Bodhisattva to become a man again.

But doing so will inevitably damage her image.

Feng Yu wasn't necessarily targeting Buddhism, because she hadn't recovered her memory at all, and everything was probably just for fun.

Guanyin said, "It is not difficult for me to change my Dharma body, but it is difficult for Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie to meet her request. After all, she is also a golden immortal, and ordinary tricks cannot deceive her. We don't want to do such a deception. Therefore, we came to the emperor again, hoping that the emperor would lend a hand."

Hong Chen listened with a smile, and waited until she finished speaking before he spoke slowly.

"Well, she did go too far in this matter. Besides, we already had a plan, and it was inappropriate for her to add conditions at the last minute."

Hearing Hong Chen say this, Guanyin Bodhisattva secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When she came here today, Hong Chen refused to help at night, and she had no choice.

At the same time, she couldn't attack Feng Yu, otherwise Kong Xuan, who was holding Tang Sanzang in his hand, would definitely not mind killing Tang Sanzang directly.

Wouldn't the journey to the west, which was about to end, be ruined? Guanyin Bodhisattva would never let such a thing happen.

Hong Chen also didn't want to cause any trouble at this moment.

So he waved his hand to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and directly pinched out a token with his bare hands, with the words "Xuan Ling" written on it, and the token also carried a very strong aura that belonged to him.

"The Bodhisattva said that it must be handed over to her, and she will naturally waive the conditions and help."

Guanyin took it and thanked him quickly.

"Thank you, Emperor."

After receiving the token, Guanyin Bodhisattva gave him a can of tea and then hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Hong Chen was too lazy to watch how she negotiated with Feng Yu, nor did he want to know how Feng Yu appeared to subdue Kong Xuan.

After all, it was all a play. Even if Kong Xuan had ten thousand guts, he would not dare to disobey Feng Yu. However, when he discussed with Guanyin Bodhisattva, the disaster that Kong Xuan would encounter was already scheduled very late. Now that he encountered this disaster, it also meant that the Journey to the West was really about to end.

The day when the Journey to the West ended, when Hong Chen attained enlightenment.

After enlightenment, many things will change.

Now that Guanyin has woken him up, he might as well wait and see.

At first glance, Hong Chen looked back at the way he came.

The blue planet was still so beautiful that it enchanted him. After the spiritual energy was revived, it looked even more breathtakingly beautiful.

The women brought to this planet by Hong Chen had already cultivated into the fairyland. The reason why they did not ascend to other worlds was because the level of spiritual energy recovery there was too high, which was enough to accommodate the cultivators from the fairyland.

However, apart from them, there are no other immortals in that world.

Naturally, they became the faith of many people, and were respected or feared by many people.

Hong Chen spent tens of thousands of years in the prehistoric world, and the time in that world was only one tenth of that at most.

Not seen for a thousand years.

Looking at their faces, Hong Chen's heart still beat fast.

It's just not the time yet.

The second time, Hong Chen looked at the only disciple he had accepted with full legitimacy.

Zhang Xiaofan lived a good life and enjoyed the happiness of having many wives.

But now he doesn't look like a god-like figure, but more like a father who is desperate because of his children.

Hong Chen didn't understand why he had seven children. Was it for the Calabash Brothers? Or was it to summon the dragon?
He couldn't help but feel lucky that he had never had children.

This eldest disciple is considered "useless". Even if Hong Chen lets him ascend to a higher level world, he will definitely not be willing to leave.

Because that's his home.

He has an unusual obsession with the concept of "home".

Hong Chen would not really think that he was useless because of this. After all, he and his two wives still had a long lifespan. Even at the current rate, they still had at least tens of thousands of years to enjoy. Before the end of their lives, Hong Chen could guide him to attain the Golden Immortal at any time.

At worst, even if they die, their souls will go to the underworld to report to Hong Chen.

In that case, let him be.

The third eye.

Hong Chen looked at those people who had had positive karma with him.

Master, brother, relative, friend.

Some have already gone through reincarnation again and again, and have naturally accumulated a lot of luck and merits under his guidance, waiting for them to burst out in a certain reincarnation, and then they will be able to directly embark on a broad and smooth path of spiritual practice and longevity.

Such accumulated merits from many lifetimes are far more practical than those bestowed directly by Hong Chen. At least their foundation will be very solid.

Some people are already on the path of cultivation, and because of the karmic connection with Hong Chen and the invisible blessing of luck, they have not encountered any danger.

Just like Lin Fengjiao, he has become a giant in a certain world of immortal cultivation, and his cultivation is equivalent to that of the Xuanxian in the ancient times.

Even Qiu Sheng and Wencai, whom Hong Chen did not like very much in the past, returned to the path of cultivation after reincarnation, and are now famous geniuses in the world of cultivation.

It’s just that the two of them seem to be enemies from a previous life, and now they are still in a state of both enemies and friends.

Another example is my earliest master, Hong Zhennan.

He still has the same name, and his wife is still the reincarnation of his former wife. But now he is the master of a certain world, and his cultivation is equivalent to that of a true immortal in the prehistoric world.

Hong Chen expressed his satisfaction that everyone has a bright future.

The fourth eye.

Hong Chen looked towards the Flower-Fruit Mountain in the Three Realms world.

The Fighting Buddha Sun Wukong is still in seclusion.

His aura did not leak out at all, and at first glance he looked like a stone-carved monkey, his body covered with moss and weeds.

However, at this moment, his body seemed to be experiencing a cycle comparable to the destruction and rebirth of the universe. The powerful avenue of fighting allowed him to continuously destroy the universe and then cause it to be reborn.

According to his estimation, Sun Wukong will be able to achieve enlightenment in three to five years at the shortest, or ten years at the longest.

It will be interesting when the Honghuang reunites at that time.

The fifth eye.

Hong Chen saw that in the big worlds closest to the prehistoric world, forces called Heavenly Court were rapidly accumulating strength in secret, waiting for them to officially rise one day and then they would be able to directly control the supreme power of a world.

After all, the masters of the heavenly palaces are all incarnations of Uncle Haotian.

In fact, strictly speaking, the person who has followed Hongjun the longest time is Uncle Master Haotian.

However, several saints who were disciples of Taoism thought that Haotian was just a boy, so they looked down on him in the early days.

This may be the arrogance of a saint.

Fortunately, such a thing will never happen again, so Uncle Haotian can only work hard in secret, for fear that other people will find out the clues and affect the plan of Heaven to be the supreme ruler of all the heavens and worlds.

The sixth eye.

Hong Chen clenched his hand, and the dark and eerie God-killing Spear appeared instantly. Using the unignorable causal line on the God-killing Spear, he looked up and looked outside the prehistoric world.

Although he was already infinitely close to the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, the thick chaotic aura outside the prehistoric world still greatly obstructed his vision.

However, perhaps because the cause and effect of the God-killing Spear was too profound, he finally found his target in the chaos.

It was a world that seemed to be embedded in chaos just like the primitive times.

Although it is filled with evil spirits, it is not a barren place with no sunlight and no vegetation.

On the contrary, the scenery there looks exactly the same as in the ancient times.

Without thinking, Hong Chen knew that it was the demon world.

As soon as his eyes fell on this world, he immediately attracted the attention of the master of this world.

So his gaze was instantly moved to the center of the demon world by the other party.

"Senior Luohou, we meet again." Hong Chen transformed into a clone and bowed slightly to the figure sitting on the black lotus.

Luo Hou, however, did not have a good look on his face. Instead, he rolled his eyes and said, "Boy, I thought you would always avoid me. I didn't expect you to come to me today."

Hong Chen was not ashamed, and said with a smile: "Senior, what are you talking about? I still have something you lent me in my hand, so why would I keep hiding from you?"

Luo Hou snorted, "It's been so many years since the Conferred God Ceremony ended. Haven't you used the God-killing Spear enough?"

Hong Chen was surprised: "What do you mean by that, senior? Do you think I can still steal the God-killing Spear?"

Luohou said nothing, just sneered.

Hong Chen shook his head: "Senior, you really hurt me so much."

“Go away! Stop pretending in front of me!” Luo Hou waved his hand, and then a smile appeared on his face again. “I know you are definitely not here to return the God-killing Spear, but since you are here, you might as well take a look at my disciple. If you, the Emperor Xuanling, can give him some pointers or grant him some innate spiritual treasures, I will let you continue to use the God-killing Spear until you are satisfied!”

After saying that, he didn't wait for Hong Chen to respond and called out directly: "Come out!"

Immediately, a man with long hair, wearing a black robe and a resolute face walked out.

Hong Chen took a glance and was immediately surprised.

"Wutian? So early?!"
