Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 148 Yuanshi Ritual
"We need to push forward the killing calamity as soon as possible. While the luck of the Jiejiao disciples has just begun to grow and has not yet reached its peak, we should send them to the Conferred God List first to prevent future troubles."

Yuanshi Tianzun thought for a while and realized that the killing could not be delayed any longer. The longer it was delayed, the more unfavorable the situation would be for the Chan sect.

Now the plan of Jiejiao disciples has just begun, and the luck they have gathered is limited and cannot affect the overall situation. But after waiting for a while, it is hard to say.

At that time, if the disciples of the Chan sect go against him, they will definitely suffer calamity.

"Guangchengzi, you lead a group of fellow apprentices and go to the Zhou Kingdom under a pseudonym, teach them etiquette, and help them formulate rules and regulations to enhance their strength."

After thinking for a while, Yuanshi Tianzun sent a message to Guangchengzi. Since we want to promote the killing calamity, we must first strengthen the strength of the Zhou Kingdom. Only when the Zhou Kingdom is strong can we defeat the Shang Dynasty and overthrow its rule.

As for how to increase the strength of Zhou, Yuanshi Tianzun had already had an idea, which was to teach them etiquette, carry out reforms within Zhou, and promote the ritual system.

At this time, the Shang Dynasty was still in a semi-primitive civilization and extremely backward. The people worshipped ghosts and gods and often sacrificed living people to them. The Shang Dynasty did not prohibit cannibalism, and the phenomenon of cannibalism has continued to this day.

In the eyes of Yuanshi Tianzun, this is a manifestation of extreme ignorance and is destined to be eliminated by the times.

Therefore, he chose to support the Zhou State, which respected rituals, and sent his disciples there to promote the ritual system, establish a country governed by rituals, and then overthrow the Shang Dynasty, so that rituals flourished.

Etiquette is a rule, a system, and a norm that constrains human behavior. At the same time, it is also one of the teachings of Yuanshi Tianzun.

In his mind, people are different, some are born noble, some are born humble. The essence of etiquette is to follow his heart, distinguish these differences, and rank people high and low.

The noble ones rule over everything, while the lowly ones are driven by them and work hard for them.

Of course, this is only the core of etiquette, not the whole of etiquette. Etiquette involves all aspects, from personal behavior to national system.

For people, etiquette stipulates what treatment people of different levels should enjoy and what responsibilities they should bear. There are norms for food, clothing, housing and transportation, which promotes the development of morality.

For the country, etiquette clearly defines the scope of power. There are detailed regulations on what officials of different levels should and should not do, which greatly improves the efficiency of the country's operations.

In short, compared with the semi-primitive society of the Shang Dynasty, the ritual system that Yuanshi Tianzun was going to promote was definitely a stronger version.

If the Zhou Kingdom respected etiquette, its national strength would surely increase greatly, and it would be favored by the times, thus overthrowing the Shang Dynasty and replacing it.

At that time, the ritual system will be accepted by the world and flourish due to the rise of the Zhou Dynasty. And ritual is the core of Yuanshi Tianzun. The flourishing of ritual will bring him infinite benefits.

The essence of etiquette is respect and inferiority, that is to say, as long as all spirits in heaven and earth are not equal and there are still distinctions between high and low, then in the ancient times, no one can shake Yuanshi Tianzun.

This is the most powerful aspect of Yuanshi Tianzun. Unless all living things die, there will never be true equality.

"Yes!"

After receiving the order from Yuanshi Tianzun, Guangchengzi did not dare to hesitate and quickly notified all his fellow disciples to prepare to set off for the Zhou Kingdom.

It is not without reason that Tongtian Jiaozhu could not defeat Yuanshi Tianzun. If he succeeded in promoting the ritual system in Zhou State and educating the Zhou people, he would not only gather luck, but also gain merits of education.

Yuanshi Tianzun has put a lot of effort into planning for his disciples, which has brought both merit and fortune.

On the other hand, as for Master Tongtian, if Ao Bing had not found a way to allow the disciples of Jiejiao to take over the fortune of Xingyidao.

At this moment, they are probably still following the instructions of Master Tongtian, practicing hard in the Taoist temple and waiting for the disaster to come.

One side was actively looking for a way to break the calamity, while the other side was responding passively. There was a reason why Jiejiao was defeated.

"Humph, how can the luck of practicing a single path compare to the merit of promoting the teachings of etiquette?"

"If the ritual system is established, all living beings will be divided into high and low according to their origins, and the hierarchy will be strictly enforced. In this way, all living beings will do their own things, and the world will naturally usher in a brief peace."

"However, the law of nature is fair. How can it allow those who are superior to be superior forever and those who are inferior to be inferior forever?"

"When the resentment at the bottom accumulates to the limit, it will explode and turn into endless war, destroying all order and causing the world to fall into conflict again. Only when a new level is determined will the war end and the world return to peace."

"Then, a new cycle will appear. As conflicts break out, the world will fall into war again. With the establishment of a new order, peace will return, and the cycle will continue."

"Destroy and then build, build and then destroy again, in an endless cycle of destruction and building."

"All causes and consequences, all grudges, will vanish in these wars. Even the number of monks will decrease sharply."

How could Yuanshi Tianzun not know the disadvantages of etiquette? He knew, he knew everything, and he just did it on purpose.

How can there be disputes without distinction of rank? Without disputes, how can we start a war and take the opportunity to clear up the cause and effect and purge the monks?
Endless war is a bad thing for living beings, but it is a good thing for heaven and earth.

Living beings are the best tonic for the world. If what Yuanshi Tianzun said is true, a battlefield of unprecedented scale will break out every once in a while.

That is definitely the best thing for the world, as it can harvest a wave of origin and promote its own evolution. Compared to planning the fate of the Tao, this kind of thing that is beneficial to the evolution of the world is a real great merit and can be favored by the Tao.

This is the reason why Yuanshi Tianzun said that Tongtian Jiaozhu was not as good as him. As long as his plan succeeds, the Heavenly Dao will gain such a great benefit, so how could it not support him?
"When my disciples have gained the merit of teaching, even if the disciples of Jiejiao have gained the luck of practice, what does it matter? They will still not be able to escape the fate of being calamity."

Yuanshi Tianzun thought quite complacently that from the beginning to the end, he never thought he would lose.

Because there are too many Jiejiao disciples, Tongtian Jiaozhu can't take care of them all. As for the luck of this trip, if Yuanshi Tianzun is right, there shouldn't be many Jiejiao disciples involved in this matter.

Even if these Jiejiao disciples will not suffer the calamity due to their luck, so what? The remaining Jiejiao disciples will suffer the calamity in their place.

If the List of Gods is to be filled up, the disciples of Jiejiao must inevitably suffer calamity. If they do not, then the probability of the other disciples of Jiejiao suffering calamity will naturally be greater.

The disciples of Jiejiao have fallen into a misunderstanding. Their biggest competitor is not the Chanjiao, but their fellow disciples. What they need to do is to ensure that their luck is higher than that of their fellow disciples, not higher than that of the Chanjiao disciples.

What’s the use of having better luck than the disciples of the Chan sect? If you kill all the disciples of the Chan sect, can you fill up the List of Gods?

Obviously not.

Therefore, the most important thing for the disciples of Jiejiao is to ensure that their luck is far higher than that of their peers, so as to avoid being on the list.

……

Yuanshi Tianzun has his own plans and looks down on Xing Yidao's fortune, but even if he does, there are many people in the prehistoric world who do.

It is unknown how many forces took action and began to collect materials for setting up the Taiyu Void Array, preparing to build a teleportation array within their sphere of influence.

Regardless of whether this move can gather luck or not, at least it can strengthen their rule. Inconvenient transportation affects not only communication, but also rule.

As these forces took action, an invisible force gathered and slowly descended upon Ao Bing and the others.

This great trend is luck, the luck of the path.

It’s just that it’s too little for now and has little effect. However, as time goes by, this luck will become more and more, and then it will be able to play a greater role.

"Your luck has begun to grow, which is a good thing, but you must not get carried away and think that you have survived the disaster."

"You must know that acting recklessly will consume your luck. If your luck is exhausted, you will still be killed."

Master Tongtian knew the character of his disciples and was afraid that they would become complacent and take the initiative to provoke the disciples of the Chan sect, so he warned them specifically.

"Master, your teaching is correct. I will remember it." Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly agreed.

"Master, I was plotted against by Taiyi and others from the Chan Sect some time ago. Fortunately, Senior Brother Zhao and several friends helped me to turn danger into safety. Not only did they capture Taiyi, but they also took away Guangchengzi's Heaven-Flipping Seal."

"However, the Heaven-Flipping Seal is a great treasure of the prehistoric world. I dare not enjoy it alone, so I plan to transform the Heaven-Flipping Seal and use it to repair the broken prehistoric ancestral vein. I wonder if Master can teach me?"

After talking about the void formation, Ao Bing stood up and briefly recounted to Master Tongtian everything that had happened in Chentang Pass before.

After all, Taiyi is Tongtian Jiaozhu's direct nephew. Although Ao Bing had obtained his consent beforehand, he still had to inform him afterwards.

In this way, if Yuanshi Tianzun comes to seek revenge in the future, Tongtian Jiaozhu will not be unprepared.

"You have great merits and great luck. Taiyi provoked you for no reason. He deserves to be on the list. You can't blame him."

"It's the Heaven-Flipping Seal, which is the most precious treasure in the heart of your Second Uncle. If you take it for yourself, I will definitely advise you to return it."

“But you care about the world and all living things. After you got the Heaven-shaking Seal, instead of taking it for yourself, you planned to transform it and use it to repair the broken ancestral vein of the Great Desolation.”

"It's not easy for the master to say this. I advise you to return the Heaven-Flipping Seal."

When talking about Taiyi Zhenren, Tongtian Jiaozhu's expression did not change much, but when talking about the Fantian Seal, his expression became hesitant.

Because this treasure is very valuable, it is a rare acquired treasure that can suppress luck. It is no exaggeration to say that the effect of the Heaven-Flipping Seal in suppressing luck is even stronger than the Merit Golden Lotus in the West, and is comparable to an innate treasure.

If such a treasure was stolen from someone else, he would definitely take it for himself and would never return it. But Yuanshi Tianzun was his brother, a family member, so it was not easy for him not to return it.

"The Heaven-Flipping Seal is made from Father God's spine. If we use it to repair the primordial ancestral vein, I'm sure even if Father God knew about it, he would be extremely pleased."

"Since you have such a heart, I, as your teacher, must help you."
