I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 553: Eagle-eyed and Wolf-looking
Seeing Zhou Tieyi spread his wings and flew into the three circles of stars, the huge wings not only did not get lost in the turbulence of earth, wind, water and fire, but with the help of the agitation of earth, wind, water and fire, it crossed layer after layer of space barriers in a flash.

Seeing this, Hong Yang said in a low voice, "Everyone, the only solution now is to seal off the Small Heavenly Palace! Please lend a helping hand!"

As he spoke, the extremely mysterious chaotic hole transformed into a real talisman that emerged, chaotically changing unpredictably, establishing a connection with the entire small heavenly palace and beginning to weave new rules.

There are two methods of Tianyi Zhenlu. Zhou Tieyi only learned the Dengzhen Yunlu, which is used to pardon and confer titles on all gods. It is inherited by twenty-four masters. The descendants of Daozhu learned the Rusheng Yunlu, holding the Hundong Red Book in their hands to restrain all gods.

What is God?
In the beginning there was God, and God and Tao were the same.

God is the personification of rules. The Hundong Red Book constrains the gods, which is to constrain the rules.

There is a saying in the Taoist scriptures: The Red Book of Chaos contains the Supreme Truth, the Original Calamity, which gave birth to all the heavens.

Zhou Tieyi had condensed the primordial ancestor qi himself, so he understood the second half of the sentence. At the beginning of the primordial calamity, the primordial ancestor obtained the innate qi, also known as the primordial ancestor qi, which is the basis of all material energy and can be used to evolve time and space. It can be regarded as the material for building time and space. The corresponding Hundong Red Book is the legal principles of how to maintain the time and space built by the primordial ancestor qi. It can constrain and change the existing rules, and therefore can constrain the behavior of the gods.

The connection between the Hundong Red Book and the Small Heavenly Palace is equivalent to connecting to a new editor, which can be used to write new rules or constrain existing rules in the Small Heavenly Palace.

The priests who had just squeezed in certainly understood what "Hong Yang" meant. Although he had the editor of Hundong Red Book, he was limited by his own strength and was unable to write or constrain the core rules. Therefore, he needed to let the priests infuse divine power so that "Hong Yang" would be able to write and constrain the core rules, thereby stopping Zhou Tieyi from moving forward.

Things in this world are unpredictable. Just half a day ago, the God Zhou Tieyi borrowed the Hundong Red Book to restrain the divine way of the Nine Ancient Gods. And half a day later, the controller of the Hundong Red Book borrowed the Taoist way of the Nine Ancient Gods to stop Zhou Tieyi.

After a moment's hesitation, the brilliant red fire of the Phoenix Ancestor and the mysterious and deep blue dragon water veins converged into the Hundong Red Book. Soon after, even the Earth Priest who "supported" Zhou Tieyi the most and the Blood Priest Guan Guan gathered their own divine power into the Hundong Red Book.

The Earth Priests and the Blood Priests did hope that Zhou Tieyi would become powerful so as to guarantee their interests, but they absolutely did not want Zhou Tieyi to take control of the Small Heavenly Palace, open the Daluo Palace, and directly ascend to the holy throne, because facing a saint in a truly perfect state, they were not qualified to be allies at all.

With the support of the eight priests, Hong Yang's strength skyrocketed instantly. Even an illusory bridge of the holy way appeared in front of his eyes, as if as long as he stepped on it, he would be able to enter the Daluo Palace faster than Zhou Tieyi.

But Hong Yang knew that this was just an illusion, and his accumulation was far from enough to step onto the bridge of the Holy Way. Resisting the temptation in his heart, Hong Yang compiled the legal principles.

Thoughts flashed through his mind. If he directly wrote down the legal principles that allowed him to enter the Daluo Palace, the priests of the Nine Ancient Gods would withdraw their divine power before the legal principles were finished. Hong Yang did not forget that there was also a phantom priest who could interfere with the regulations formed by the Hundong Red Book. They would definitely not let him directly enter the Daluo Palace and take control of the Small Heavenly Palace.

If he expelled Zhou Tieyi first, he would be left with the priests of the Nine Ancient Gods to compete for the ownership of the Small Heavenly Palace. His chances of winning would be too small, and the result would not be what he wanted.

Therefore, there is actually only one rule that can satisfy the requirements of himself and the nine ancient priests.

"Today is not the time for the Little Heavenly Palace to be born. It will reappear in two years."

As new clauses appeared, the power of "Hongyang" and the nine ancient priests was drawn away like a flood. As a result, the sky above Taiyi Temple was so magnificent that the heavenly palace, which seemed to be pulled out from the void, slowly retreated back into the void, disappeared in the shadow of Tao, and no longer merged into the thirty-three heavens.

In the eyes of Zhou Tieyi who was riding on Tianpeng, the torrents of earth, wind, water and fire around him were like flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. The small heavenly palace that he was about to reach was like a faded and yellowed photo, slowly becoming unreal.

Zhou Tieyi looked back, and Hong Yang bowed and said, "It seems that the dispute over the orthodoxy will not allow the God to get what he wants today."

He said words of apology because he would form alliances with Zhou Tieyi to fight against other forces in the future, so he did not want to offend Zhou Tieyi, so he apologized twice, but there was no sign of apology on his face.

After all, it is a dispute over the orthodoxy, you know what I mean.

Although the nearby Little Heavenly Palace was about to disappear again, Zhou Tieyi did not have a look of loss or regret on his face. Instead, he smiled, "I don't think I can get what I want."

The moment Zhou Tieyi smiled, 'Hong Yang' felt something was wrong, because within this divine body, the original will of Hong Yang had actually reawakened, and was fighting with him for the ownership of this body!

Zhou Tieyi continued, "The reason why the Taoist master Tianyi was defeated back then was because it seemed good to rule the Dao as a god, but when Taoists borrowed the power of gods, they would inevitably be assimilated by the gods and eventually become believers of gods. At that time, it was hard to say whether it was ruled by gods or ruled by gods. How to distinguish the boundaries between Taoists and gods has always been a difficult point. After hundreds of years, you, the descendant of the previous generation, have not figured this out. This is not good. Today, I will teach you on behalf of the Taoist master Tianyi!"

On top of the black roc, Zhou Tieyi, whose appearance changed among all living beings, stood with his hands behind his back. The smile in his eyes faded, and he glanced up, looking down at "Hong Yang" below.

"Hong Yang, how dare you betray the orthodoxy!"

The Taoist Xuancheng who occupied Hongyang's divine body spoke in a voice of shock and anger.

The expression on Hong Yang's face changed. His flying eyebrows turned from a humble Taoist posture to a sharp one. His black and white pupils were once again filled with the domineering intent of a military general. His black eyebrows were like an eagle and his eyes were like a wolf.

This is the look of an eagle looking at a wolf!

"How can you say you are betraying me? The Dao lineage was destroyed three hundred years ago. Instead of handing it over to a loser like you, it would be better to let the Lord take charge and rebuild the Dao lineage! Look at what you have done. If it weren't for your intervention, the Lord would have taken control of the Daluo Palace and fulfilled the Dao Master's wish to lead the world's gods. But you, Xuan Chengzi, ruined this great opportunity for your own selfish reasons. If the Dao Master is resurrected, you will be deprived of your qualification to be a leader of the Dao lineage!"

Hong Yang's words were confident and righteous. The reason he answered was that in the battle of minds, these words could directly strike Xuan Chengzi's mind.

Sure enough, after hearing Hong Yang's shameless words, Xuan Chengzi, who was occupying Hong Yang's body at this time, couldn't help but recall the appearance he found himself in two or three months ago.

He knelt in front of him and cried about how Zhou Tieyi didn't value him. A cook who was taken as his subordinate at the same time had already held a high position, but Zhou Tieyi didn't even give him the resources to recover the artifact, and made him guard the ghost-free hell prison. If he hadn't found himself, he would probably have become a prison boss.

Xuan Chengzi would certainly not simply believe Hong Yang's words, so he occupied Hong Yang's body, checked Hong Yang's memory, and secretly entered the Divine Court several times. As a result, he indeed found out that as Hong Yang said, Zhou Tieyi was afraid of Hong Yang's background in the Tianyi Taoist lineage, so he had never dared to entrust him with important tasks. Hong Yang was also very excluded in the Divine Court, and no sect was willing to accept him.

In Xuan Chengzi's opinion, Hong Yang has always been a spy arranged by the Tianyi Taoist sect inside Zhou Tieyi, and Zhou Tieyi has tolerated this spy for the sake of the secrets of the Little Heavenly Palace.

But what Xuan Chengzi didn't expect was that Hong Yang, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, was actually a double agent who betrayed him at such a critical moment. "What benefits did He give you? Did you have a connection with Him before? No, I have occupied your body several times and checked all the details. He really ignored you from the beginning. You were also an object of exclusion in the Taihang Divine Court. You actually worked for Him! You have the appearance of an eagle watching a wolf, so it is reasonable for you to betray Him..."

Xuan Chengzi couldn't believe it, but he was not a fool. For such an important matter, he had naturally deduced the cause and effect of the clues over and over again. Any unreasonable situation in the middle would attract his attention!

unless……

Unless Zhou Tieyi had no communication with Hong Yang at the beginning, even if he ignored and suppressed Hong Yang, Hong Yang would be willing!
Xuan Chengzi paused.

The look of an eagle and the gaze of a wolf!

Since betraying Zhou Tieyi is reasonable, then betraying myself is also reasonable!
When Xuan Chengzi was excited, Hong Yang did not stop fighting for the control of the divine body. The virtual godhead in his body shone brightly. With the help of the power of Taiyi Jade Disc, Hong Xiang offset the restraint of the Hundong Red Book in Xuan Chengzi's hand. Naturally, as the master of the divine body, he began to take the lead. In addition, Xuan Chengzi had just used the Red Book to close the Small Heavenly Palace. The loss was definitely not something that could be recovered in a breath or two.

Hong Yang had already taken the lead, so Xuan Chengzi's voice became weaker and weaker, and Hong Yang's voice became louder and louder, "With your wisdom, how can you revive the Taoist tradition! Rather than handing the Hundong Red Book to you, it is better to hand it over to the master."

Through the virtual godhood, Zhou Tieyi instantly raised Hong Yang's godhood, raising him from a fourth-rank prison general to the third rank. With sufficient status, Hong Yang could naturally absorb the divine power that Xuan Chengzi poured into his body, and even a part of his soul.

This is the flaw of the Tianyi Taoist lineage. Taoists of the Tianyi Taoist lineage can drive or even occupy the bodies of gods, but the same is true in reverse. Gods can also occupy the bodies of Taoists. The contest between the two is ultimately a competition of authority.

Hong Yang first raised his own strength to about the third rank. Without any delay, he grabbed the Hundong Red Book in front of him and flew towards Zhou Tieyi. Several gods and priests in the distance wanted to stop him, but Ju Zidan, who had not taken action, smiled and said, "Everyone, the situation is set, so don't waste your time."

Ju Zidan waved his sleeves, taking advantage of the situation and accelerating Hong Yang to land in front of Zhou Tieyi.

As soon as Hong Yang landed in front of Zhou Tieyi, he knelt on one knee and presented the Chaos Cave Red Book to him, "My Lord, I have fulfilled your mission!"

Xuan Chengzi's voice was already inaudible. He knew that he had already lost, but he still refused to admit defeat. Through Hong Yang's mouth, he finally asked, "Why would he rather be your dog than revive my Tianyi Daoist sect!"

Zhou Tieyi grabbed the Hundong Red Book, smiled cordially and helped Hong Yang up, explaining to both Hong Yang and Xuan Chengzi, "You see, this is the difference between you and me. In your eyes, even a fourth-rank general is just a dog, but in my eyes, Hong Qing just wants to improve himself too much. Don't you agree, Hong Qing?"

Hong Yang was really surprised and happy to be supported by Zhou Tieyi on the shoulders, although he didn't quite understand the meaning of Zhou Tieyi's words "you want to make progress too much", it seemed like a compliment, but also like a warning.

However, after following Zhou Tieyi for so long, Hong Yang naturally summed up a set of speaking habits of Zhou Tieyi, his immediate boss.

Zhou Tieyi often says some difficult to understand, profound but straightforward words.

He usually won't say these words to subordinates he doesn't value. When he is willing to say these words, it means he is either in a very good mood or he is starting to value you.

Hong Yang did not dare to be arrogant, and lowered his head and said, "The remnants of the Tianyi sect treat me as a dog, but the master treats me as a confidant. If they do not repay the grace of resurrection, then I am worse than a dog. On the other hand, people like Xuan Chengzi are not worthy of inheriting the Taoist lineage. Now that the Taoist lineage has returned to the master's hands, it is really the manifestation of heaven's justice!"

Zhou Tieyi couldn't help but burst into laughter. He patted Hong Yang on the shoulder and helped Hong Yang suppress the remaining soul of Xuan Chengzi. "You see, your only shortcoming is that you progress too fast."

He already had the Taiyi Jade Disc in his hands, and now with the Hundong Red Book in his hand, he quickly completed the jade disc. In just a moment, he had enough power to confer new second-grade gods.

"You have performed a great deed this time, so you deserve a reward. You are the Prison God General, and the Divine Court is still short of someone in charge of laws. I will pardon you and make you the True Lord of Chaos Cave Red Laws and Punishments."

With the help of the virtual godhead, Zhou Tieyi bestowed a part of the authority of the Hundong Red Book that he had just obtained, and once again upgraded the virtual godhead in Hong Yang's body to the second level. Of course, this was only the corresponding position. Now Hong Yang had just broken through to the third level, and there was still some distance before he could digest the third level of godhood and establish his own kingdom of God. He could not immediately become a complete second-level god.

But for Hong Yang, this is already what he wanted.

Now there is one civil and one military in the Taihang Divine Court.

Cao Shan is in charge of the performance evaluations and promotions of all the gods, while Kui Shen is in charge of the military affairs of all the gods.

It is equivalent to the positions of Simin and Sibing in the court of Daxia. Now he has obtained the power of 'Criminal Law', which is the position of Silu. He is already a first-rank official in the Divine Court. The next step is to divide the territory and establish the Divine Court again.

Thinking of this ambition, Hong Yang's body trembled slightly. He somewhat understood the meaning of Zhou Tieyi's words just now.

I want to improve so much!
As expected, the master knew everything.

This sentence is both encouragement and warning, it all depends on the Lord's intention!

In this cause and effect conspiracy, Xuan Chengzi is not even as good as the tail feathers. How can such a person be worthy of my loyalty!
With the help of Zhou Tieyi's pat on his shoulder, he knelt down again with his fists clasped, "I will definitely live up to the trust of my lord!"

Zhou Tieyi did not help him up this time. Instead, he said calmly with his hands behind his back, "Get up."

As the saying goes, an eagle looks at a wolf and is the best at judging the situation. What kind of treatment does Hong Yang get from following Xuan Chengzi? What can Xuan Chengzi give Hong Yang?
It's considered good to be able to throw a bone, so people are raised to be dogs.

But what kind of treatment will one get by following me? It will be a step to success, so I train people to be wolves.

Xuan Chengzi couldn't even figure this out, so it was not unfair for him to lose this time.
