Honghuang: Yu Ding forgot to accept a disciple

Chapter 412: Expanding Heavenly Dao (4000 words)
After Hongjun retreated, Yang Jian thought about it again and again and decided not to merge the authority of the underworld with the prehistoric world, but to divide it separately.

Using a method similar to that of Taoist Duobao who sealed Mount Xumi, a sub-list was split from the List of Conferred Gods, turned into an imperial decree and handed over to Houtu, called the Book of Life and Death, which controls the lifespan of mortals, immortals, common demons and other creatures. The immortals and gods in the main list of Conferred Gods are not under the control of the Book of Life and Death.

Afterwards, Hou Tu performed a ritual to transform the underworld. A ray of light flew out from her sleeves and her face looked dazed, as if her spirit was empty.

Looking at his face, it is surprisingly the same as Xuanming.

"When Xuanming guessed that Hongjun might rule the underworld, he handed the authority of the underworld to me. Xuanming's soul was swallowed by Hongjun, but the underworld was originally established by him. It is stained with Xuanming's blood and blood, and is stained with a trace of Xuanming's spirit. I will gather this trace of spirit, and perhaps after tens of millions of years, there is a chance that he will wake up."

Hou Tu was talking to herself, and it seemed like she was explaining something to Yang Jian.

She pointed with her fingertips repeatedly, and the underworld shook, like mud, and began to reorganize. The aftermath of her fight with Hongjun had scattered the Yellow Springs, but now it was drawn together and turned into a long river that ran through the underworld.

Huge white bones flew out from the underworld. They were the bodies that were broken up during the battle between Zhulong and Nuwa. Now only the bones were left, and they turned into a bridge across the River Styx.

Then, Hou Tu ordered Xuan Ming to stand behind the bridge and said: "You will guide the living beings again and use your own spiritual power to cleanse the memories of the living beings. Xuan Ming is dead, and you are not Xuan Ming anymore. From now on, you will be called Meng Po. If you are lucky enough to be able to join the true spirit~~~"

~~~~~
The matter of the underworld has been settled.

Yang Jian led the crowd to leave the underworld through the gap in Fengdu. As soon as they entered the wilderness, they saw auspicious clouds gathering in the sky, shining with golden light.

Yang Jian couldn't help but squint his eyes and take a closer look. Above the clouds stood the heavenly soldiers, surrounded by the heavenly immortals. Among the heavenly immortals there was a tall figure, it was Haotian himself.

There was a familiar figure nearby, it turned out to be Taixuan who brought the immortals from Dongsheng Shenzhou here.

Yang Jian had not sent a letter to Taixuan before, so he came here at this moment probably to help with the affairs of the underworld.

He stood up and came to the Emperor's carriage, bowing and saying, "Yang Jian pays respect to the Emperor. The great goddess Hou Tu has received the imperial decree and is willing to let the Heaven Court intervene in the jurisdiction of the underworld. He agrees to establish the underworld to manage the six reincarnations."

"Good good!"

Haotian said three good words repeatedly and was about to say something, but seeing that there were many people around him and they were all looking at him, he had to endure it.

He particularly wanted to know what happened in the underworld.

Previously, the underworld was obscured by the Jade Disc of Creation, and he could not see into it. After the Jade Disc of Creation left, the deathly aura emanating from the underworld was mixed with a hint of eerie demonic energy, as if Rāhu was reborn.

A guess was infinitely magnified in his mind, but he was unwilling to believe it.

It was also extremely inappropriate to ask at this time. If the immortals in Heaven knew that Hongjun was actually related to Luohou, Heaven would surely be shaken and people's hearts would be divided.

Other powerful beings in the ancient times must have paid attention to this place. If they spread this matter, the foundation of the Heavenly Court will certainly be destroyed.

Thinking of this, Haotian said: "The battle of conferring the gods has ended, and it is time to confer the titles on the immortals~"

~~~~~~
Time flies, and a hundred years have passed without realizing it.

Dongsheng Shenzhou.

Yang Jian opened a cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain to comprehend the mysteries.

One day, a ray of light flew down from the sky and landed on the mountain.

He has a handsome look and a fierce dog follows him.

"Xiaotian, you stay here and guard. I'll be back soon."

Then, the figure searched the mountain to identify the Qi.

In the mountain stream, there is running water, and there is a hint of mysterious energy in the water.

A hint of joy flashed in the visitor's eyes: "So he's hiding here."

He jumped into the water and turned into a swimming fish, following the energy flow and swimming upstream. Soon he saw a waterfall and vaguely saw an iron bridge hanging under the waterfall.

The fish in the water jumped up, turned into a flying swallow, flew across the waterfall and stood on the bridge.

Then you can see clouds and mist with a strong Taoist atmosphere, and at the end there is a cave.

Feiyan flapped her wings and moved forward. When she was near the cave, she saw a stone tablet with the words "The blessed land of Huaguo Mountain, the paradise of Water Curtain Cave" written on it in Lei Wenyun seal script.

"You good Yang Jian, you hide here and enjoy yourself, while I work hard for you and take the blame!"

A trace of annoyance flashed in Feiyan's eyes, and she flew into the cave, transforming into a fairy-like woman.

He had an extraordinary appearance and the moment he appeared, the cave seemed to be lit up.

There is a golden plaque hanging in the cave, with a strong Taoist flavor on it.

The woman looked at the gold list, her eyes flashing with deep shock.

There were nearly a hundred avenues hanging on the golden list, and she seemed to be facing the torrent of the avenues.

"Yang Jian, come out!"

The woman shouted, "You deceived me so badly. You offered me a high position in heaven, but you continue to bully me. You are so good, just enjoying your life here!"

The golden list suddenly shook, and a figure fell from it, with spiritual light rising from his body.

When the spiritual light faded, revealing Yang Jian's appearance, he looked at the person who came and said, "Su Daji, why do you want to come to me when you can be a god? It's fine if you come here, but you dare to show your true face. If people find out about your fox tail, you will be in big trouble."

The woman turned out to be Su Daji. After hearing Yang Jian's frank words, she raised her head and said unwillingly, "It's OK if I'm found out. What kind of God of Justice is this? All you do every day is offend people. Those Jiejiao immortals are united and form cliques for selfish ends. If I deal with one of them, it will lead to a lot of trouble. I don't want to do this kind of thing any longer!"

Yang Jian asked with a smile: "You are Yang Jian, who would give you face or not?"

Su Daji's face turned bitter, and she complained bitterly: "It was better before the Conferred God Ceremony. In the past, the immortals hid in the mountains and practiced hard, not going out for thousands of years. Now that all the immortals and gods have been gathered in the Heavenly Palace, it's good now. They can exchange their merits and salaries for Laojun's golden elixir and Queen Mother's peaches.

Without the pressure of heavenly tribulation and with endless lifespans, they are just like mortals, playing around with matters between men and women, which is fine. They also have children, and after having children, they use connections to have them listed on the List of Gods and be included in the ranks of immortals. In just a hundred years, there are not enough immortal positions in Heaven, and many idle immortals are causing trouble in Heaven all day long. I have been so busy in the past decade or so that I have not had a rest, and I am getting wrinkles at the corners of my eyes!
The Heavenly Emperor Haotian also noticed this. The old immortals occupied high positions, and they kept giving birth to children, so that their offspring also shared the positions in the Heavenly Court. Even if the subsequent prehistoric creatures became immortals, they could only live in the mortal world. There were no vacant immortal positions in the Heavenly Court. This closed Heavenly Court made the prehistoric world like a pool of stagnant water. Haotian asked me to think of a solution, but what could I do? It was not me who conferred the title of God, but they came to me when there was trouble! "

Yang Jian looked at Su Daji's smooth face, which showed no signs of aging, but he also said cooperatively, "Thank you for your hard work."

Su Daji was shocked and continued, "And that Chang'e, who comes here to flirt with me all day long, I wish I could strip her naked and hang her at the South Heaven Gate! I'll get rid of her stench."

"What did you tell me when you tricked me out to be a god? You said that because of my kindness to you, I would let you enjoy a peaceful life. But now it's like this, who is enjoying a peaceful life? Now you tell me what to do! If this matter is not resolved, I will quit."

Su Daji spread her hands, revealing a magic weapon strung on her wrist, each of the beads glowing with extraordinary light.

She lowered her sleeves inconspicuously to cover the magic weapon.

She won this thing from gambling, so she couldn't let Yang Jian see it, otherwise he would ask her to take a share of it, which was absolutely unacceptable.

Yang Jian said with a smile, "You come to me for such a small matter? You are the God of Justice, in charge of the Heavenly Laws, who dares not to respect them? After the birth of a child in Heaven, the power is abused for personal gain, so the Heavenly Laws should be added to prohibit the gods from falling in love." "Then what about the descendants of the gods? The Heavenly Court is overcrowded. If we don't assign them a job, I'm afraid it will cause public outrage."

Yang Jian pointed at Su Daji's wrist and said, "How come Master Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Dinghai Pearls are in your hand? These twenty-four Dinghai Pearls can solve the problems in the Heavenly Palace."

"What Dinghaizhu? This is a magic weapon I won. It has nothing to do with you. Don't even think about sharing it with me."

Hearing this, Su Daji cautiously took the beads on her wrist into her arms: "Zhao Gongming made a bet with me and lost this treasure to me."

"Then you have two choices. I will send an incarnation to take over the position of the God of Justice, and you can leave the Heavenly Court to enjoy a peaceful life. Alternatively, you can take out the Dinghai Pearl and I will use a ritual to resolve this matter for you."

Su Daji was skeptical and handed over the pearl.

Yang Jian took it and injected his magic power into it. Suddenly, waves' sounds came from the Dinghai Pearl.

"These twenty-four Dinghai Pearls were formed when defective Chaos Spirit Pearls fell into the sea. They contain infinite sea water, so they are called Dinghai Pearls. In the past hundred years, I have traveled in the chaos and found countless ordinary spirit pearls. In addition, there are nine Chaos Spirit Pearls bestowed by the three saints Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Nuwa, which can evolve the heavens. When I repair these twenty-four spirit pearls with the power of merit and bless them with the List of Conferred Gods, you can go to Yuanshi Tianzun to borrow the Celebration Clouds of the Heavens and bless them together. At that time, the immortal and mortal worlds can be divided. These Chaos Spirit Pearls and the present world of Honghuang can be transformed into the thirty-three heavens of immortals. There are also ordinary spirit pearls that can evolve the heavens and myriad worlds in the celebration clouds, which are enough to accommodate countless immortals and gods."

"Yuanshi Tianzun? I don't want to live long enough to hang around in front of Yuanshi Tianzun. No, no, if you want to go, go by yourself."

Su Daji shook her head repeatedly.

"It doesn't matter if you don't go. I will send a message to Yuanshi Tianzun and ask him to send someone to bring the auspicious clouds from the heavens."

Yang Jian threw out the Dinghai Pearl, used the merits from the Investiture of the Gods to refine and repair it himself, and then sent a message to Yuanshi Tianzun.

Not long after, a huge spiritual light swept over and arrived above the Flower-Fruit Mountain, revealing the appearance of the South Pole Immortal.

"Where is my nephew Yang Jian? I am here on the orders of my master to send the auspicious clouds to the heavens."

Yang Jian came out to greet him with a smile: "Thank you for the trip personally, Great Emperor Changsheng of the South Pole. If I had known this, Yang Jian would have gone there himself."

Nanji Xianweng waved his hand immediately and said, "Don't bother. It is my honor to make a trip for you. As for the title of Great Emperor, you don't have to be so polite. It's just an empty title."

The two of them had a brief conversation, and then the Immortal of the South Pole flew away on a cloud.

Return to the cave.

In order to hide her figure, Su Daji transformed herself into a weed in the cave to avoid the Nanji Xianweng's divine consciousness. When she saw Yang Jian coming back, she quickly transformed into her original form and said, "Yang Jian, how did you make the saint send his eldest disciple to deliver the treasure?"

She looked shocked. It seemed that she had not made good use of the name of Yang Jian. If she had known earlier that Yang Jian had such ability and could make the saint send the treasure with just one sentence, she would definitely ask Master Tongtian to get the Four Swords of Zhu Xian. She had already made up her mind to give it a try when she returned.

Yang Jian smiled but said nothing.

Ever since Hongjun's identity was exposed, the saints have secretly joined forces and tried every means to slow down Hongjun's progress in achieving the Dao.

It was for this very purpose that Yang Jian gave up his throne in Heaven and hid in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, wandering in the chaos with his spirit.

As long as the Heavenly Dao expands, Hongjun's integration with the Dao will slow down.

Haotian also tried his best to promote the expansion of the Heavenly Dao. After all, he did not want to see Hongjun merge with the Dao.

If Hongjun were to achieve the Dao, the survival of all things would depend on his thoughts, and there would be no need for their Heavenly Court to exist at all.

Yang Jian took off the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls. His merits had completed the Dinghai Pearls, reversed their innate nature, and turned them into Chaos Spirit Pearls. He took out nine more Chaos Spirit Pearls from his sleeves and put them into the celebration clouds of the heavens.

As the thirty-three Chaos Spirit Pearls returned to their positions, the clouds of celebration in the heavens shook violently.

Afterwards, Yang Jian came to the outside of the cave and connected the List of Investiture of the Gods with the Celebration Clouds of the Heavens. He used the boundless magic power contained in the List of Investiture of the Gods to support the expansion of the Celebration Clouds of the Heavens, and then threw the Celebration Clouds of the Heavens out.

Then, a sky full of colorful colors swept across the vast world, as if there was an extra cover in the sky.

The creatures in the ancient world couldn't help but raise their heads and look at the sky curiously.

"Old man Hongjun, could you have expected this move?"

Yang Jian curled the corners of his mouth.

His perception spread along with the celebratory clouds of the heavens, and then several other huge consciousnesses suddenly joined in.

They are from many great gods in the ancient times, including Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, the Holy Nuwa, Haotian, Houtu, Queen Mother of the West, etc.

After the auspicious clouds from the heavens covered the vast wilderness, pillars of light burst out and connected the earth.

The creatures in the ancient world suddenly felt something strange, and the scenery in front of them seemed to be overlapping.

As if~
They were copied, but their thoughts were still connected!
~~~~~
Zixiao Palace.

Hongjun was originally focusing on the Jade Disc of Creation to deepen his connection with the Way of Heaven.

"Master, something serious has happened!"

Taoist Zhunti came running over.

Hongjun was disturbed and opened his eyes. The coldness in his eyes made the Taoist Zhunti shiver.

"I have said that this is a critical moment for the unity of the Dao. Unless it is a major event that will destroy the prehistoric world, please do not disturb me."

Zhunti pointed to the sky outside Zixiao Palace and said, "Yuanshi Tianzun has caused the auspicious clouds from the heavens to cover the whole world!"

Hongjun looked unhappy: "So what? If he wants to tear his face off and re-refine the primordial world, it is a foregone conclusion that I will merge with the Dao. It will only take a hundred or two hundred years for me to fail to take over the underworld. By the time I merge with the Dao, they will be nothing but chickens and dogs. They are just resisting stubbornly now. Even if they really re-refine the primordial world, the worst that can happen is that I will take another path. Repeating it thousands of times, they can't change the fact that I will merge with the Dao."

Suddenly, Hongjun's expression changed.

He sensed something strange through the Jade Disc of Creation.

His fusion with the Heavenly Dao was already 70%.

At this time, this 70% is constantly decreasing.

65%, 64%~~50%~~~30%~~20%~
Do not!
Hongjun's eyes widened: "How is this possible! How can Hedao go backwards!"

He quickly calmed his mind and sensed the heaven and earth.

It's not that his level of harmony with the Dao is regressing, but that the primordial Heavenly Dao is expanding. The Heavenly Dao that he originally occupied is being constantly diluted.

He looked at the auspicious clouds of the heavens outside the Purple Sky Palace and said in hatred, "What a good trick! Using the Chaos Spirit Pearl to evolve the world, using the auspicious clouds of the heavens as a carrier, and using the List of Conferred Gods as a foundation, he integrated the heavens into the prehistoric world, thereby weakening my control over the prehistoric heavenly way! Do you really think I don't have any countermeasures?"
