Honghuang: Senior Brother of the Chan Sect, I am Guangchengzi

Chapter 263: Learning the Evil Law and Becoming a God

As soon as these words were spoken, all the immortals except Guangchengzi were in an uproar. Even Randang was shocked. They wondered how another catastrophe could have begun after only a few thousand years?
Everyone was talking about it, wanting to know how this could have happened. Not to mention that they had committed a murderous calamity, it was destiny that they helped the human race and they deserved to be rewarded.

If helping the way of heaven brings disaster upon oneself, who will dare to follow the will of heaven in the future? Why don't everyone learn to defy heaven like Jiejiao? Since they will be punished anyway, why not have some fun before the punishment comes?
Yuanshi Tianzun also let them argue until Guangchengzi couldn't stand it anymore and scolded them several times, and then they quieted down.

As the eldest senior brother of the Chan sect, Guangchengzi already knew everything, but he still had to ask a few questions first.

"May I ask, my dear master, how exactly will this calamity of the Conferred Gods be carried out? Will it be like the previous calamities, where we will be killed before it ends?" Guangchengzi asked.

The other immortals also looked at Yuanshi Tianzun, fearing that they would really die in the calamity.

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and said, "The Conferred God Tribulation is very different from the previous three tribulations. The root cause is that the Heavenly Court lost its way, which caused the Heavenly Way to combine with the killing tribulation in you, and this turned into the Conferred God Tribulation."

Afterwards, Yuanshi Tianzun explained all the matters, big and small, and the immortals understood them all.

He knew that if he wanted to survive this calamity, he would have to send many of the disciples of Jiejiao into the List of Conferred Gods. As long as the number of 365 was not reached, the calamity of Conferred Gods would not be over.

But in other words, if, when all the saints agree a hundred years later, Patriarch Tongtian is willing to send his disciples to the list, then the Conferred God Tribulation will collapse on its own and immediately turn into an ordinary tribulation.

But after thinking about Master Tongtian's usual temperament, none of the immortals wanted to persuade Yuanshi Tianzun to lobby Master Tongtian. Instead, they began to comprehend the various Taoist methods they had just learned, and it was obvious that they had made up their minds to take part in the calamity.

It can be seen that Yuanshi Tianzun never thought that Tongtian Jiaozhu would bow his head, so he taught this vicious spell that he would not easily mention in the past to many immortals.

However, Yuanshi Tianzun added at this time: "If you condense the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, you can avoid this calamity. Guangchengzi, you have achieved the sixth level of Hunyuan cultivation. If you are willing to stay indoors, you can avoid the Conferred God Calamity."

Guang Chengzi said without hesitation, "As the eldest senior disciple, how can I retreat when I see danger? This would be a betrayal of the master's teachings and the trust of many junior disciples.

I have made up my mind to enter this Conferred God Tribulation. Please rest assured, Master, I will bring all my fellow disciples and nephews back safe and sound. I will not harm any life, and I will not leave any behind!"

Many immortals were naturally very moved. After all, Guangchengzi had a chance to avoid it but did not avoid it. Instead, he chose to face it together with them. Naturally, everyone admired him very much.

The immortals also asked a few questions, but no one asked about how to avoid disasters. Instead, they asked about the difficult problems between Taoism.

It can be seen that everyone has a desire to move forward and has no thought of retreating at all.

It makes sense. They had just shown their might in the battle with the Human Emperor. How could they be forced to retreat by this disaster? Of course, they wanted to have a good fight with the Jiejiao!
Seeing that none of his disciples showed any fear, and even those second-generation disciples were all full of fighting spirit, Yuanshi Tianzun felt comforted, so he dismissed many of his disciples.

After sitting alone in Yuxu Palace for a hundred years, he slowly walked towards Zixiao Palace.

By the time Yuanshi Tianzun entered the Zixiao Palace, the other saints had already arrived.

Unlike the worried Yuanshi Tianzun a thousand years ago, he now looked extremely calm, as if he didn't take the upcoming signing matter seriously at all.

Yuanshi Tianzun took his seat, and Hongjun Daozu also appeared, still holding the List of Gods and the Divine Whip in his hands.

Daozu Hongjun said to all the saints present: "One or two is fine, but not three. This time we must decide on the name of the person in the upper position." After saying that, he closed his eyes and sat upright without saying anything more.

Nuwa, Jie Yin and Zhunti remained silent. This matter had nothing to do with them, so there was no need to say anything more.

Laozi could have been free and unrestrained, after all, he only had one disciple, and no matter whether it was Yuanshi Tianzun or Tongtian Jiaozhu, it was impossible for anyone to cut off his roots.

But seeing that one of my brothers was indifferent and the other was aloof, I couldn't help but sigh and decided to set an example for them.

Laozi said to Hongjun Daozu: "Master, I am willing to write my good corpse Taishang Laojun into the List of Conferred Gods in exchange for the safety of Master Xuandu."

After saying that, Laozi slapped the top of his head, and a white gas flew out. An old man could be vaguely seen in the white gas, and then the white gas spontaneously drilled into the List of Gods.

Stimulated by this wisp of white gas, the List of Gods suddenly began to vibrate for no reason, and finally it directly broke away from the hands of Hongjun Daozu and slowly unfolded in this palace.

I saw dazzling golden lights flashing, and then four large purple characters slowly appeared on the golden list, the name was: Taishang Laojun.

Seeing that Laozi had sent all his good corpses in, Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu had to react.

Patriarch Tongtian thought about it again and again, and finally said in a deep voice: "This matter concerns my destiny as an immortal, and I am willing to make concessions. As long as my second brother is willing to send in half of the immortals, or write Guangchengzi's name, I will fill in the remaining names." In Patriarch Tongtian's view, this was not only a concession, but also a great sacrifice.

After all, there are a total of three hundred and sixty-five positions. Even if I help out with one, there are still a total of three hundred and sixty-four.

Yuanshi Tianzun only needs to fill in six of the names, or if he can be ruthless enough, he can write Guangchengzi on the list. He can then sacrifice himself for the remaining 360 or so positions, which can naturally be considered a concession.

But Yuanshi Tianzun didn't think so. The Twelve Immortals were all his direct disciples. The loss of one was enough to make Yuanshi Tianzun feel distressed for countless thousands of years, let alone giving away six.

As for filling in Guangchengzi, that's a no-brainer, as Guangchengzi was accepted by Yuanshi Tianzun before he became a saint, or even achieved the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

Living together day and night, Guangchengzi brought great help to Yuanshi Tianzun. Even if other immortals were sacrificed, Yuanshi Tianzun would never sacrifice Guangchengzi, not to mention that he didn't want to sacrifice any of his disciples.

So under what Tong Tian Jiaozhu thought was a show of goodwill, Yuan Shi Tian Zun said calmly: "If Junior Brother is willing to fill in Duobao, San Sheng Mu, San Xiao, and Zhao Gongming, I am not against filling in the name of Nan Ji Xian Weng."

After these words were spoken, not to mention the two Western leaders who were watching the show on the side, even the goddess Nuwa couldn't help laughing.

These eight people are the essence of Jiejiao. Any one of them cannot be lost, let alone losing eight of them at once.

If he really lost all of them, I am afraid that Master Tongtian’s character would be destroyed.

What's more, the loss of these eight only resulted in the gain of an Antarctic Immortal who was already the Great Emperor in the Heavenly Court.

This Immortal of the South Pole is still only a nominal disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the mocking intention is obvious on his face, without any concealment.

Tongtian Jiaozhu was also so angry at Yuanshi Tianzun's tone that his hair stood on end. He immediately retorted, but Yuanshi Tianzun was also not polite and responded sharply, with no intention of backing down.

The two began arguing again, and the more they talked, the angrier they became. They wanted to go straight to the Zixiao Palace and have a fight, and they had even started fighting.

Seeing that my two younger brothers started quarreling again, I couldn't stand it anymore and immediately tried to persuade them, but these two were really angry and wouldn't listen to my advice at all.

Daozu Hongjun just let the two quarrel and continued to close his eyes, pretending he didn't hear anything.

It was not until the other three saints stood between the two leaders that they reluctantly stopped quarreling, but they still disliked each other and there was no brotherhood at all.

Seeing this, Nuwa came up with an idea and said to the two leaders, "Since both of you are unwilling to give in, why don't we both give in? When the Conferred God Tribulation begins, whoever is less skilled than the other will ascend to heaven and become a god. How about this?"

Yuanshi Tianzun naturally wanted this very much and agreed to it without hesitation.

After thinking about it, Master Tongtian felt that his disciples had made a lot of progress in recent years, and if they joined forces, they could defeat the strong with the weak. If they really fought with the Chan Sect, it was not certain who would win or lose, so he naturally nodded in agreement.

Daozu Hongjun opened his eyes at this time and said calmly: "Since you have already finished the discussion, then I can only agree. The person who will be the god will appear soon. Whichever sect he joins will be in charge of the God List and the God Whip."

After finishing speaking, Daozu Hongjun disappeared in an instant, and the Six Saints bowed their heads before leaving Zixiao Palace.

During these thousand years, the human race has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

When Dayu passed on the throne, he did not choose a virtuous person to abdicate, but directly passed it to his son Qi, completely taking the position of common ruler for himself.

Although there was a precedent that Emperor Huangdi passed the throne to his son Zhuanxu, Zhuanxu passed the throne to his son Emperor Ku, Emperor Ku passed the throne to his son Emperor Yao, and Emperor Yao passed the throne to his son Emperor Shun.

However, these emperors were all appointed by saints, so they naturally possessed unique prestige and talent. In the eyes of others, they were chosen from the best talents.

The fact that Emperor Shun passed the throne to Dayu instead of to his own son shows that abdication was still the mainstream at that time.

However, even though there were obviously more capable people, Dayu still passed the throne to his son, which can be said to be a complete transformation of the throne from abdication to a family empire.

Qi lived up to everyone's expectations and renamed Dayu's tribe the Xia Dynasty. He ordered many small countries to pay homage to the Xia Dynasty and named the rulers of these small countries as princes.

When Qi grew old, he did not learn the ancient rituals. He followed his father's example and gave up his position as co-leader to his son, completely turning the whole family into the king.
