Honghuang: The Golden Crow Emperor, starts by robbing the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 271 Zixiao Palace Discusses Journey to the West
"The Buddha is compassionate. The Journey to the West Calamity is different from the previous ones. It can be quelled without a large number of killings. It is the best opportunity to harvest merits."

"The Journey to the West began with the human race. The human race was the protagonist of the prehistoric world. Buddhism was introduced to the human race, and Buddhism was promoted by borrowing the luck of the human race. This is the root of the Journey to the West."

"However, you isolated the human race and planned the Journey to the West without authorization, wanting to take all the merits for yourself and not share them with the human race."

"Since you don't want to share the merits with the human race, why should the human race allow Lingshan to spread Buddhism and share the human race's luck with Buddhism?"

"You are greedy and yet you have the nerve to question our Phoenix Clan."

Zhuque directly stripped the underwear of Jade Emperor and others, and a group of shameless people dared to come and ask for punishment. They really took their greed for granted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhulong came from the East China Sea, Emperor Xin came from the Dongsheng Continent, Jiufeng came from the underworld, and Yuan Hong came from the Penglai Fairy Mountain to meet up with Suzaku.

The Jade Emperor and others' faces changed, and they realized that Emperor Xin and others had clearly discussed it beforehand and were deliberately taking advantage of this incident to cause trouble.

They are in the open while others are in the dark. They have known it all along and are just waiting for the right time to strike.

On one side are the Phoenix Clan, the Human Clan, the Dragon Clan and the Underworld; on the other side are Lingshan, the Heavenly Court, the Demon Clan, the Qilin Clan and the Three Religions. If a real fight breaks out, it's hard to say who will win or lose.

"It has only been tens of thousands of years since the Conferred God Tribulation, and the three religions are still suffering from severe damage. I don't think you would want to end up like the three religions. Why don't we go to Zixiao Palace to find Daozu and redistribute the Western Tribulation?"

The Jade Emperor knew that today would not end well, so he asked Daozu for support, and Daozu would definitely side with the Taoist sect.

"Okay." Emperor Xin and others nodded in agreement.

So, the group went to Zixiao Palace.

And this is exactly the result that Emperor Xin and others wanted. Ling Xiao secretly sent someone to give the order, to find an excuse to go to Zixiao Palace.

Ling Xiao gave the Celebratory Clouds of the Heavens to Emperor Xin, inside which was hidden the Lord of the Weird Way, and asked Emperor Xin to take it to Zixiao Palace so that the Lord of the Weird Way could see what level of cultivation Hongjun had reached now.

Everyone arrived at Zixiao Palace. The four evil gods were guarding the door as usual. They opened their eyes, took a look, and then continued to practice in seclusion.

With just these people, Hongjun couldn't be hurt at all if he just sat there doing nothing.

These people came to Zixiao Palace to discuss the Journey to the West, which was far less lively than when the saints first came to Zixiao Palace to discuss the Conferring of Gods.

After entering the Zixiao Palace, the Jade Emperor explained the situation to Hongjun so that he could be prepared.

"The merits of the Journey to the West are the easiest to get. How about this, one third of the merits of the Journey to the West will go to the human race, and the human race is not allowed to interfere in the Journey to the West anymore. How about that?" Hongjun said.

What he wants is the Buddhist cause and effect; merit and virtue don’t really matter.

“No, the Journey to the West is for spreading Buddhism to the human race, which is equivalent to plundering the human race’s luck. Our race will suffer a great loss. Our race should get at least half of the merits of the Journey to the West.” Emperor Xin said dissatisfiedly.

"Half, you are not afraid of being stuffed to death, you don't have to worry about anything, you can just sit at home and get one third of the merit, and you are still greedy."

"The human race took half, and the rest is not enough for us. We worked so hard to set up the disaster and complete the disaster, and now we are working for you humans. Why?"

The Jade Emperor was furious.

The three giants of Lingshan and Fuxi and others also criticized Emperor Xin.

"If you don't want to work, you don't have to get involved. The Journey to the West can be completed by our human race in conjunction with the Dragon Clan, Phoenix Clan and the Underworld. You can just quit."

"So it's not your own luck that is being sacrificed. It's easy for you to talk without any pain. How hard can it be to set up a disaster? How about changing your mind and letting the Buddhist sect plunder the luck of the Heavenly Court? We don't want any merit from the human race. How do you think?"

Emperor Xin was so passionate that he spoke so much. The Jade Emperor and others were all shut up. Luck is far more important than virtue. If you lose virtue, you can find a way to get it back. But if you lose luck, it is extremely difficult to make it back.

In the long run, luck is much more valuable than merit.

"From the Journey to the West, our race wants 70% of the merits, or you can exchange them for something, like the World-Destroying Black Lotus and the Qiankun Cauldron, and our race only needs 30% of the merits." Emperor Xin said.

The human race really wants the Qiankun Ding. The function of the Qiankun Ding is too amazing. It can reverse the acquired into the innate and can also advance the level of spiritual treasure. It can definitely greatly increase the strength of the human race.

For the human race, the Qiankun Ding is more useful than the Chaos Lingbao. Although it consumes luck or merit, the human race has no shortage of luck, and the underworld has no shortage of merit.

Lingshan and the Underworld are the only two places where one can continuously gain merit. Lingshan gathers the power of faith and transforms it into merit using the Eight Treasures Merit Pool; the Underworld helps the dead souls to reincarnate and be reborn, both of which can continuously gain merit.

The underworld has no use for spiritual treasures, but it needs elixirs that can speed up cultivation. Humans can use the elixirs to trade merit with the underworld. Both parties benefit mutually and each gets what they need.

As for the black lotus of destruction, it was purely a test for Hongjun to see if he had the intention of gathering five twelve-grade lotus pedestals to refine the Chaos Spirit Treasure.

The Jade Emperor and others all looked at Hongjun. The Qiankun Cauldron and the Black Lotus of Destruction were both in Hongjun's hands.

Hongjun frowned slightly. Although he did not attach much importance to merit, seven merits was a bit too much and he did not want to give it.

Seventy percent of the merits from the Journey to the West can give birth to two or three saints. To give birth to a saint from a sub-saint, the merits needed are not that much.

The appearance of more and more saints in the prehistoric world was not what he wanted to see. After all, a large number of ants could kill an elephant.

The more saints there are, the less control he has over the world.

Especially now that there are the Three Golden Crows and the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who go against him every day.

As for the World-Destroying Black Lotus and the Qiankun Cauldron, he was even less willing to give them. He did want to collect all five lotuses to refine the Chaos Spirit Treasure.

The Qiankun Ding is too powerful. With it, he can quickly arm a powerful fighting force. With it, he will never have to worry about having no one to send him around.

Didn’t you see that he was unwilling to give the Qiankun Ding to the Six Saints of Heaven, and would rather give them the innate treasure than the Qiankun Ding.

"At most five merits." Hongjun looked directly at Emperor Xin.

“Then the Taoist priest should choose one between the Qiankun Cauldron and the World-Destroying Black Lotus to give to the human race. The human race is poor, and apart from the Xuanyuan Sword and the Nine Cauldrons of Emperor Yu, they have no other magic weapon to show off.” Emperor Xin said.

"You need to be a little bit embarrassed, right? Having the Xuanyuan Sword and the Nine Cauldrons of Emperor Yu is not enough. Aren't the Ten Absolute Swords of the Ten Heavenly Lords powerful? Isn't Fengze's Wind Shuttle powerful?"

The Jade Emperor was so angry that he cursed, "If you humans are still poor, then I'm afraid our Heavenly Court will not survive."

You humans at least have two meritorious treasures, the Xuanyuan Sword and the Nine Cauldrons of Emperor Yu. What I have in Heaven is only an innate treasure, the Huan Dao Fan, which Heaven spent a lot of effort to get.

Emperor Xin rolled his eyes up and looked like he couldn't hear anything.

They are all shameless anyway. Don’t laugh at the second brother, big brother. Defeat magic with magic.

"Being greedy is not a good thing." Hongjun's voice became a little colder. This Human Emperor had learned 70% of the virtues of the Three Golden Crows. He was extremely bold, unscrupulous and greedy.

"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. If he is not greedy, how can he climb up? If the Taoist Ancestor was not greedy, how could he enter the state of Hedao, right?" Emperor Xin smiled with narrowed eyes.
