I am a fairy in Journey to the West
Chapter 693 The Question from the Crowd
Led by Feng Yuanhua, the seven Dao Lords of the Wind and Thunder Great World first led Xue Baochai to pay homage to the two Dao Ancestors, Feng and Thunder.
Then the celestial banquet officially began. To show the importance attached to Pangu's Heavenly Dao, Xue Baochai was placed in a secondary position, which was second only to the seven Dao Lords, and was the head of all the immortal masters of the seven great immortal palaces.
Therefore, above Xue Baochai were seven Dao Lords, beside her were more than a hundred Immortal Lords, and below her were thousands of outstanding disciples from the seven Immortal Mansions, as well as thirty Zhang Tianying Divine Generals who accompanied Xue Baochai.
"Please, Your Excellency." The seven Daoist masters raised their wine cups in a toast to Xue Baochai from afar. Xue Baochai quickly returned the courtesy, raised her wine cup in return, and drank it all in one gulp.
Next, all the immortal masters and the outstanding young men from various mansions toasted Xue Baochai with a cup of wine. Xue Baochai drank three cups in a row, and her face was already a little red.
"I'm sorry," Xue Baochai said, cupping her hands in apology. "I'm a little weak from drinking."
"Hahahaha." The seven Dao Lords smiled slightly. Dao Lord Lei Buyi said, "This wine has been stored for ten thousand years. It is mellow and fragrant. It seems that the envoy is not a person who drinks often."
Xue Baochai said, "I usually only like to drink fruit wine and rarely drink such strong liquor."
"Is fruit wine even considered wine?" one immortal master asked. "I find it too bland to drink, even like water."
Xue Baochai turned her head and saw that the speaker was a middle-aged monk with a big nose, but there was no sarcasm on his face, so he seemed to be speaking from the heart.
Lei Buyi then said to the middle-aged cultivator, "Vulgar! Your Excellency is a refined person, how can you be compared to a drunkard like you?"
The middle-aged monk scratched his head, said nothing, but picked up his wine cup and said to Xue Baochai, "I apologize for my inappropriate words, Your Excellency. I will punish myself with a cup." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Xue Baochai smiled slightly and said, "Senior, you are so free and unrestrained; I admire you."
Seeing that Xue Baochai was not angry, Lei Buyi stopped scolding the middle-aged cultivator. After revealing the bottom of his bowl, the middle-aged cultivator burst into laughter.
At this moment, a celestial master asked Xue Baochai, "I am Fengyue Liu from the Biaofeng Immortal Abode. I have a question for you, and I would appreciate your esteemed guidance."
Xue Baochai looked at the willow tree and then cupped her hands and said, "Senior, please ask."
Feng Yue Liu paused slightly, then asked Xue Baochai, "May I ask, Your Excellency, how many Dao Ancestors did the Pangu Heavenly Dao have?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately held their breath and looked at Xue Baochai, including the Seven Great Dao Lords.
Upon hearing this, Xue Baochai sat up straight and slowly said, "My Pangu Heavenly Dao has two Dao Ancestors."
"what?"
"Two Dao Ancestors?"
"Only two."
Upon hearing this answer, everyone present was taken aback, and then began to whisper among themselves.
The Pangu Heavenly Dao made such a big commotion before, saying it was for the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, but it turns out there were only two Dao Ancestors.
However, after exchanging glances, the seven Dao Lords did not underestimate Pangu Heavenly Dao because of this, after all, they knew the strength that Zhuang Yan had displayed that day.
However, he was slightly disappointed that the Pangu Heavenly Dao only had two Dao Ancestors.
Hearing the commotion below, Daoist Feng Yuanhua raised his hand and pressed down, instantly silencing the noise.
Then Feng Yuanhua asked, "Your Excellency, could you please tell us the titles of these two Dao Ancestors, Pangu and Tiandao?"
Xue Baochai nodded and then said, "One is the Supreme Lord Laozi, the Ancestor of the Mysterious Origin, and the other is the Primordial Mysterious Law Ancestor Hongjun."
Feng Yuanhua nodded slightly, then asked, "Which one of them was the Divine Firmament Celestial Venerable who appeared in the Chaos not long ago?"
Xue Baochai was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Isn't Shenxiao Tianzun among these two?"
"Huh?" The seven Dao Lords uttered a sound of surprise and doubt. Then, Xuanfeng Dao Lord Feng Yizhi asked, "Your Excellency, didn't you say that there were only two Dao Ancestors in the Pangu Heavenly Dao? Why isn't Shenxiao Heavenly Venerable among them?"
Xue Baochai replied matter-of-factly, "Because Shenxiao Tianzun is not the Dao Ancestor."
The seven Dao Lords and the group of Immortal Lords were stunned for a moment, then they suddenly realized that the Pangu Heavenly Dao and their Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao had different interpretations!
Thinking of this, Feng Yizhi immediately changed his question: "Then, Your Excellency, may I ask how many Great Luo Golden Immortals are there in the Pangu Heavenly Dao?"
This time, Xue Baochai gave a different answer, saying, "Five." A gasp rippled through the room, and even the seven Dao Lords widened their eyes, realizing that, like the Five Elements Heavenly Dao, there were five Great Luo Golden Immortals.
Then Feng Yizhi continued to ask, "So, who are these five Great Luo Golden Immortals?"
Xue Baochai said, "The first one is the Supreme Lord of Heaven, who holds the power over the three realms and is in charge of the Heavenly Dao. He is the Supreme Lord of Heaven, who holds the power over the Heavenly Dao and the Three Realms, who is the Jade Emperor, who is in charge of ... the Jade Emperor, who is in charge of the
"..." Feng Yizhi blinked, and after a long while asked, "Excuse me for being presumptuous, but is the person you mentioned above the same person?"
“That’s right,” Xue Baochai said. “This is the supreme being of the Pangu Heavenly Dao, the Jade Emperor, who holds the reins of the Heavenly Dao and governs everything.”
Feng Yizhi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "I can tell. This title already encompasses everything."
Then Feng Yizhi asked, "And who is the second one?"
Xue Baochai said, "The second one is Laozi, the ancestor of the Dao, who created the world and spread the Dao."
Before Feng Yi could ask, Xue Baochai continued, "The third one is the Buddha, the ancestor of all Buddhas who founded Buddhism."
"The fourth one is the Primordial Mysterious Law Hongjun Dao Ancestor, who is the founder of the Mysterious Sect."
"The fifth one is the 'Spirit Platform Enlightened and Law-Bearing Heavenly Venerable, Three Realms Assisting and Governing Divine Firmament Great Emperor,' which is what you Dao Lords call the 'Divine Firmament Heavenly Venerable,' or in our name, the 'Divine Firmament Great Emperor.'"
After listening to Xue Baochai's explanation, the seven Dao Lords suddenly realized that the names of Pangu Heavenly Dao and Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao were indeed different.
At this moment, Lingfeng Daojun Feng Yangtian asked, "Then why are some called ancestors and others called emperors?"
Xue Baochai said, "It is because within my Pangu Heavenly Dao there is a 'Heavenly Court,' which holds all power in the present world's three realms and is ruled by the Jade Emperor. Therefore, there are various Great Emperors and Emperors assisting the Jade Emperor. The Supreme Dao Ancestor, the Buddha Tathagata, and the Hongjun Dao Ancestor are all the leaders of their respective religions, while the Divine Firmament Emperor is a god of the Heavenly Court, hence the title of Heavenly Court Emperor."
"I see." Everyone understood now.
Then Yuan Lei Daojun Lei Shuxuan asked, "Between the Heavenly Court and the various sects, who is the principal and who is the subordinate?"
“Of course, the Heavenly Court is the primary authority, and the various religions are secondary. The Heavenly Court rules over the three realms of immortals and governs everything, while the various religions assist the Heavenly Court in recruiting disciples, spreading the Dharma, educating all spirits, and saving all living beings. Each occupies its own position and performs its own duties,” Xue Baochai said.
Lei Shuxuan then asked, "What if disciples of various sects commit crimes?"
Xue Baochai said, "First, we will deal with it according to the precepts of the sect. If they do not obey the precepts, then the gods in charge of the heavenly laws will deal with them."
Lei Shuxuan then asked, "What about the crimes committed by deities?"
Xue Baochai said, "It should also be dealt with according to the laws of Heaven. As the saying goes, the net of Heaven is vast, and though its meshes are wide, nothing escapes it."
As Xue Baochai continued her narration, an image of a vast and orderly Heavenly Court appeared in the minds of everyone in the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Path.
They were especially shocked when Xue Baochai mentioned the duties of the 'Mountain God,' 'Earth God,' and 'Water God,' astonished that the Heavenly Court's control was so strong.
It took everyone a long time to digest the information Xue Baochai had shared. Then someone asked, "May I ask, Your Excellency, what do you mean by the 'Three Realms' in the 'Three Realms of the Present World' that you have been referring to?"
Xue Baochai smiled and said, "The Three Realms are the 'Desire Realm,' 'Form Realm,' and 'Formless Realm' inhabited by all living beings. Simply put, they are the Three Realms of 'Heaven, Earth, and Man.'"
"The Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man?" Upon hearing this, Daoist Feng Yuanhua of the Extreme Wind suddenly asked, "Could Man be the 'Human Race'?"
Xue Baochai nodded and smiled, "Indeed, it is the human race."
The scene erupted in uproar, because the two Dao Ancestors, Feng and Lei, had said that the human race was a race born under the 'Great Dao'. Although the human race was inherently weak, it was the second most powerful race under the Great Dao, second only to the innate beings. It was also the most intelligent and spiritually powerful race, and the most suitable for cultivation.
Now that there are no longer any innate beings, the human race has become the most intelligent and suitable race for cultivation under the Great Dao.
This race does not possess either the Five Elements Heavenly Dao or the Wind and Thunder Heavenly Dao; they are all formed by imitating the human race's appearance.
So don't be fooled by the fact that this place is full of 'people,' only Xue Baochai and those Zhang Tianying generals are truly 'people'! (End of Chapter)
