Conferred God: Started from Swallowing the Heaven-Repairing Stone

Chapter 25 Emerged at the historic moment
"Second Master shouldn't be like this!"

Taoist Duobao thought of how Yuanshi Tianzun had taken care of him when they were in Kunlun Mountain, and couldn't help but speak up to defend him.

"Humph, you underestimate your Second Uncle. You think he's a good man. He originally wanted you to take the place of his good disciples to face the calamity."

When Tongtian Jiaozhu thought of the expression on Yuanshi Tianzun's face when he saw Zixiao Palace, he was both angry and disdainful.

"what?"

Duobao was shocked when he heard this and wanted to ask more questions, but Tongtian realized that he had said something wrong and did not want to continue talking about his brother's faults in front of his disciples, so he quickly changed the subject and said:
"There is no doubt about this. This killing disaster was caused by the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect. If there is no way to replace the disaster, they will never be able to escape it and will all be included in the Conferred God List."

“But if a disciple were to bear the calamity for them, then at least 80% of their calamity would be reduced. After that, they would only need to suffer a little bit to survive the calamity.”

At this point, fearing that Duobao might not believe it, Tongtian added: "If you don't believe it, you only need to pay attention to the disciples of the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect."

"See if their cultivation was achieved by external forces. And whether what they hold in their hands is the life-saving magic weapon of the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect."

"If so, then the disciple of the Chan Sect's Golden Immortal must be their substitute for the calamity."

Although using external force to forcibly improve one's cultivation can achieve rapid success, it will damage the foundation and make it impossible to break through to a higher level in the future.

If he were really a disciple, he would definitely not improve his cultivation in this way. Only disposable tools would be treated this way. There was no need to care about things that were thrown away after use.

The relationship between master and disciple is already close. If one gives the disciple his natal magic weapon, it can almost be indistinguishable from the real thing, and naturally be able to deceive the heavens and let the disciple take the calamity on his behalf.

"Ah~~"

After sighing, Taoist Duobao said no more.

Master has said this, so it is obvious that this is not false. In order to save his disciples' lives, Yuanshi Tianzun really taught them the method of abdication.

The other disciples looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to believe that this was true.

Although they were dissatisfied with the disciples of the Chan Sect, they still respected their uncle Yuanshi Tianzun. But who could have thought that such a dignified saint would behave like this.

This is really...

It's speechless!

Ao Bing did not say anything, because with his memories of later life, he knew that what Master Tongtian said was true.

The experiences of the three generations of disciples of the Chan Sect were exactly the same as what Tong Tian Jiaozhu had just said. First, they used external forces to improve their cultivation, then they were given their life-saving magic weapons to let them leave the mountain, and finally they lost their lives hastily.

The nature of being a tool is too obvious.

Moreover, the judgment made by Tongtian Sect Master regarding the future of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect was not wrong. They just suffered a little, and then all survived the catastrophe safely.

"The method of replacing the calamity is the behavior of the devil. You must not imitate it. Yuanshi Tianzun will definitely be punished for his behavior in the future."

Fearing that his disciples might have the same idea, Tong Tian Sect Master warned him. He also knew the method of substitution, because it was something that the three brothers had snatched from a demon when they were young.

But no matter what, he, as a teacher, would never allow himself or his disciples to do such vicious things and use their disciples as tools.

"Disciple understands, please rest assured, Master!"

Although they did not believe that Yuanshi Tianzun would be punished, they dared not disobey Tongtian Jiaozhu's words and quickly agreed.

retribution!

Ao Bing felt that what Master Tongtian said made sense. In the future, some of the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect might betray their religion and go to the West, which might be the retribution from Yuanshi Tianzun.

The method of passing on the disaster-replacement method destroyed the relationship between master and disciple, where they would prosper and suffer together, and caused the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect and the Chan sect's Golden Immortal to become estranged.

As retribution, Yuanshi Tianzun’s disciples would naturally become alienated from him and abandon him.

This would not only make Yuanshi Tianzun feel sad, but also make his previous painstaking plans for his disciples appear quite ridiculous.

The so-called retribution is to make the person who suffers the retribution suffer. And for Yuanshi Tianzun, is there anything more painful than becoming a clown?
He took great pains to plan for his disciples, even resorting to evil means to do so, but in the end, he was ruthlessly betrayed by his disciples. What else could he be but a clown?
"All of you should leave. Renlong and Shiji should stay. I have something to tell them."

After giving instructions to all his disciples, Master Tongtian waved his hand and asked them to leave, leaving only Renlong and Shiji.

Because both of them have committed the killing calamity, they cannot hide from it, so they can only find a way to escape it. The method of taking the place of the calamity is not bad, but Tongtian would rather they be on the list than allow them to practice such a vicious method. The foundation of Jiejiao is to respect teachers and honor morality.

If the method of replacing the calamity is used, it won't take long for the Jiejiao's atmosphere to change drastically. From then on, the master will regard the disciple as a tool, and the disciple will regard the master as an enemy. Respecting the teacher and respecting the way has become a complete joke.

How long can Jiejiao last if the foundation of its existence is gone? It will disintegrate on its own and slowly become history without any intervention from outsiders.

How could he destroy the foundation of Jiejiao just for two disciples? So no matter what, Tongtian would not let his disciples use the method of substitution.

If anyone violates the rules, he will clean up the mess himself without waiting for others to take action.

"Shiji, your cultivation is too low. If you want to defeat Taiyi Zhenren, you can only rely on external forces."

"The magic weapons that your master will pass on to you are the Eight Trigrams Cloud Light Handkerchief, the Eight Trigrams Dragon Whisk Handkerchief, and the Tai'a Sword. They are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures, no worse than the treasures in the hands of Taiyi Zhenren."

"You are no match for Master Taiyi. Not only is your cultivation not as good as his, but your control over magic weapons is also far inferior to his."

"Well, I will teach you a formation called the Eight Trigrams Cloud Dragon Formation, which is a perfect match for the Eight Trigrams Cloud Light Handkerchief and the Eight Trigrams Dragon Whisker Handkerchief in your hands."

"If you can master it, even if you can't defeat Master Taiyi, at least you can save your life in his hands."

After everyone left, Master Tongtian took out a set of innate magic array and passed it to Shiji.

"Thank you, Master, for teaching me the Dharma!"

Shiji stepped forward, took over the formation, and thanked him.

"Don't thank me yet. I'll be frank with you. I won't get involved in a fight between my disciples. As for your fellow disciples, you can ask them to help you."

"But before asking for help, you must think carefully. No matter who it is, as long as they help you deal with Taiyi Zhenren, they will inevitably be involved in the disaster and it will be difficult to escape."

"You should consider the importance of this matter yourself. I will not interfere with your decision."

When he said this, Master Tongtian's expression was extremely complicated. He wanted his disciples to help Shiji, but he also didn't want his disciples to help her.

Saving Shiji alone might cost dozens of lives. If he didn't save Shiji, he could save the others, but where would the friendship between fellow disciples be?

That is why Tong Tian was torn between wanting to save him and not wanting to save him. In the end, he was so indecisive that he decided to give the choice to his disciple.

Those who are willing to help will help, and those who are unwilling will not help. He will not interfere, and it is all voluntary.

"Disciple knows!"

Shiji's expression was stern, and she replied. But she had already made up her mind that even if she really died in the hands of Taiyi Zhenren, she would not implicate other fellow Taoists.

How could someone else's life be endangered because of her?

"You go down and practice hard, and try to master the Eight Trigrams Cloud Dragon Formation as soon as possible."

He nodded and asked Shiji to leave, then Tongtian turned his gaze to Ao Bing.

"From what I have seen of you, not only do you have the legacy of the Ancestral Dragon, but you also have the aura of Junior Sister Nuwa, the power of the Chaos Devil, and even a hint of the Saint Emperor's aura."

"From this, it can be seen that you have great luck. This killing disaster is a disaster for others, but for you, it may be an opportunity."

After staring at Ao Bing for a long time, Master Tongtian spoke slowly.

Some people are born to bring disaster upon themselves, bringing chaos to the world. For example, those disciples who were accepted by the Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect to bring disaster upon themselves were born with the mission of bringing chaos upon the world.

Some people are born to benefit the world, such as Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang, who were born to stop wars, calm disasters and create a prosperous era.

And now, Master Tongtian seriously suspects that Ao Bing was born for the sake of destiny and is destined to quell the killing calamity.

Otherwise, this cannot explain why Ao Bing has such good luck. He has the legacy of the Ancestral Dragon, the Chaos Demon God, the power of Nuwa, the aura of the Saint Emperor, and so on.

Anyone who could obtain one of these powers would be lucky, but Ao Bing was lucky enough to have all four powers in one. This was such luck that no one would believe that he had no destiny.

I just regret that it is the time of the catastrophe, the heavens are in chaos, and nothing can be calculated. Otherwise, why would Master Tongtian need to guess here? He only needs to count with his fingers to know the truth.
