People in Jiejiao practice Taoism and become gods

Chapter 241 [Tit-for-tat, compromise and concession] (Subscription required)
Conferred God?

Xuanqing doesn't think that Hongjun's purpose is so simple. When the Heavenly Court was thriving before, he watched the Heavenly Court and the gods fall. Now that Luohou has not been dealt with yet, he wants to be a god again?
Is the other party dissatisfied that the Three Pure Ones have sidelined Haotian? Or is he dissatisfied that the Emperor of Heaven is on duty and his two boys are just decorations in the current Heavenly Palace?
Moreover, he could see that the "Investiture of the Gods" had really been destroyed by Luohou before, but now it had been condensed again by Daoist Patriarch Hongjun using the power of Heaven!
Before the Lich and Wizard Calamity, there were gods between heaven and earth. Those innate gods held all kinds of power, so why did they need to be enthroned in the "List of Gods"?
The twelve ancestor witches of the witch clan each govern a law and can be called witch gods, who are more powerful than those innate gods.

But in the end, only Xuanming survived. After Hou Tu reincarnated, she lost the authority over earth that she had held as the ancestor of earth. Although Ju Mang retained a little innate spiritual light and was able to reincarnate and cultivate again, he no longer had the authority over wood that he had held as the ancestor of wood!
Hongjun seemed to be deliberately bringing all kinds of authority under the control of Heaven. Otherwise, why would he need the "List of Gods" to enthrone the gods?

Not only Xuanqing, but also Taiqing Laozi saw this and immediately said with a smile: "Don't bother, teacher. Although the gods in the heavenly palace have suffered disasters this time, several emperors and the eight main gods are still alive. As long as all the tribes in the prehistoric world work together, rebuilding the heavenly palace will not be a difficult task!"

"Teacher, you are in harmony with the Way of Heaven. You should maintain the stability of the wilderness and balance the Way of Earth and humanity. You should think about how to solve the problem of Luohou!"

"Luo Hou is a wicked man with evil ambitions. He intends to reverse the primitive world. Last time he targeted the four poles, and this time he invited several Chaos Demon Gods to overthrow the Heavenly Court. He is really a great scourge to the primitive world!"

"Please help me, Master, to pacify the demon world, suppress Luo Hou, and cleanse the universe!"

Taiqing Laozi's meaning was very clear. They would take care of the matters of Heaven and the Conferred Gods themselves, and there was no need for Hongjun to call them in specifically to give instructions.

If the other party really intends to do something, it is better to target Luohu, the troublemaker!
"It's not my fault!"

Hongjun's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "It's just that you have excluded Haotian and let Fuxi, Shennong, Xuanyuan and others take turns to be the Emperor of Heaven. This is unfair and not conducive to the balance and stability of the Heavenly Dao order! If one day, they join the embrace of humanity, wouldn't it affect the perfection of the Heavenly Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Master Tongtian laughed softly and said, "The Way of Heaven forbids perfection, and the Way of Man forbids fullness. There are fifty great ways, and even one of them escapes. Teacher is detached from the world, so why should we force the perfection of the Way of Heaven?"

Yuanshi Tianzun also spoke up: "Third brother, what you said makes sense. As saints of the Heavenly Dao, we only need to maintain the stability of the prehistoric world. Forcing perfection may... bring disaster rather than blessing!"

Nuwa remained silent.

Taixuan looked as if he was always calm.

"I'm doing this for your own good!"

Hongjun continued, "You are all saints of the Heavenly Dao. If the Heavenly Dao is perfect, you will be able to control more Heavenly Dao power and authority! Isn't it just a matter of a word for your Dao to flourish?"

Taiqing Laozi said wittily: "The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contention. It stays in the midst of all evil, so it is close to the Tao! Teacher, the trend of the heavenly way is that when it reaches its peak, it will decline, and when it declines, it will rise. Is there any Taoism that always prospers in the world? Junior Brother Tongtian's Jiejiao is very powerful, but didn't it encounter a disaster this time?"

"Therefore, I think that everything should be left to nature, and there is no need to force perfection!"

"If the teacher really wants the prehistoric Heavenly Dao to be perfect, why not bestow those two primordial purple qi? If the nine saints of the Heavenly Dao are born together, wouldn't it be easy to perfect the Heavenly Dao?"

Taiqing Laozi revealed his true intentions and directly asked for the "Hongmeng Purple Qi". Since you want the way of heaven to be perfect, then I will grant you the foundation for becoming a saint first!
Upon hearing this, Hongjun could not help but frown: "I have said that when a destined person is born, whoever of you can accept him as your disciple will be given the Hongmeng Purple Qi by me. Don't you believe what I say?"

"Why bother?"

Xuan Qing immediately said: "Now that fellow Daoist Taixuan has become a disciple of the master uncle, he has become a saint. Daozu only needs to give the two primordial purple qi to the teacher and the second master uncle respectively!"

"This also shows that Daozu is fair!"

He could see that Hongjun did not want to hand over the two "Hongmeng Purple Qi" to the Three Pure Ones, but for some things, the result could only be known after trying.

What if?
Seeing Hongjun remained silent, Xuanqing continued, "Could it be that Daozu does not want to give the two primordial purple qi to Teacher and Second Uncle? Didn't Daozu say that after the Heavenly Dao is perfected, the Xuanmen Daoism will prosper? Why is he unwilling to allow the three Xuanmen religions to have two more Heavenly Dao saints? Isn't this a contradiction?"

Hongjun's body is in harmony with the Way of Heaven, and his strength is definitely the strongest among all the saints, but Xuanqing is sure that the constraints he faces are also the strongest among all the saints.

This is also where his confidence comes from!
"Oh, right!"

Immediately afterwards, Xuan Qing uttered another piece of news: "After I attained enlightenment, Pangu took the Earth-Splitting Chisel away with some means! Daozu occupies the Heavenly Dao, so be careful of Pangu's reckoning!"

As soon as these words came out, Hongjun's expression suddenly changed: "Fellow Daoist, are you kidding me?"

"I swear to the Tao!"

Xuan Qing said with a solemn vow.

It is not a good idea to continue to stalemate with Hongjun here. It is better to borrow Pangu's reputation to intimidate Hongjun, the former demon god of creation.

The Three Pure Ones are indeed a threat to Hongjun, but compared with Pangu, they are nothing!
After all, even the way of heaven was created by Pangu with supreme means!

Swear to the Tao!
This is not a joke!

If you swear an oath to the Heaven, as long as you leave the prehistoric world and leave the area covered by the Heaven, the Heaven will not be able to kill you.

But the Great Dao is endless chaos, boundless universe, infinite time and space, infinite dimensions, and is everywhere. As long as you have not transcended the chaotic universe, the Great Dao oath will have a great binding force on you. Among the people Xuan Qing knows, so far, perhaps only Pangu dared to disobey the Great Dao, and his current state is uncertain whether he will live or die.

Hongjun's expression changed, fairy light circulated around his body, and two "Hongmeng Purple Qi" appeared in his hands, but he still didn't want to compromise easily.

He looked at Xuan Qing and said, "Everything I do is for balance. Daoyou has become a disciple of Tongtian Sect and has already achieved the status of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. If I give you Hongmeng Purple Qi again, wouldn't it cause imbalance again? How about Daoyou refine one of the Hongmeng Purple Qi?"

"not so good?"

Xuan Qing said coldly.

He had finally achieved the state of Hunyuan Daluo and freed himself from the shackles of the Great Dao on the Chaos Demon God. How could he be willing to let his own soul be controlled by the Heavenly Dao?
impossible!
Hongjun is now in harmony with the Way of Heaven. If he places his soul in the Way of Heaven, wouldn't his great path be clearly visible to Hongjun?
He glanced at Nuwa next to him and said, "If Daozu really wants to pursue fairness, he can also give this primordial purple energy to Nuwa!"

Nuwa is now the new demon god of creation and the object of Hongjun's pursuit of emptiness, but the world is unpredictable and Nuwa may not be willing to be controlled by Hongjun.

The Three Pure Ones also discussed with him several times and believed that Nuwa could be won over to their side.

Therefore, when he saw that Hongjun was in "trouble", he immediately handed over one of the "Hongmeng Purple Qi" to Nuwa for disposal.

This was both a gesture of goodwill to Nuwa and a test of the attitude of Taoist Hongjun.

after all……

If Fuxi had a "Hongmeng purple energy", he might be able to become a saint of heaven!
But Nuwa shook her head and said, "It is useless for me to have the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Teacher, please give it to Senior Brother Yuanshi and Senior Brother Tongtian!"

what's the situation?
Both Sanqing and Xuanqing were stunned. Did Nuwa ignore Fuxi? Or did she find another way to help Fuxi attain enlightenment?
In the ancient world, it is extremely difficult to achieve the status of a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. If Xuanqing did not have a strong foundation as a predecessor as the Demon God of Destiny, his hope of achieving enlightenment would be slim!

Even Hongjun showed a look of astonishment, but then he returned to normal and said, "In this case, then this primordial purple energy should be given to Yuanshi! As for the remaining one, let's leave it to the destined person!"

Having said that, in order to avoid the Three Pure Ones from worrying about him, he directly used the power of Heaven to send the remaining "Hongmeng Purple Qi" into the prehistoric world.

"Thank you teacher!"

As for Yuanshi Tianzun, he put away another "Hongmeng Purple Qi" and nodded slightly to Daozu Hongjun, but there was not much respect in his expression.

If we can make Daozu Hongjun compromise and obtain one of the "Hongmeng Purple Qi", the Chan Sect will have one more saint, and the possibility of replacing the other party will increase.

So far, he still can't see through the other party's strengths and weaknesses, so it's better not to rush into a fight.

As for the last "Hongmeng Purple Qi", was it a trick used by Daozu Hongjun to deceive people, or was it really sent into the prehistoric world...

He didn't know either.

"God List!"

Hongjun reminded calmly: "To confer titles on the gods in heaven, you must use the Conferred God List! Otherwise, the underworld and the human world may seize the authority of the gods!"

"The Heaven Palace has fallen, and all the gods have perished. You must rebuild the Heaven Palace to preserve the number of the Heavenly Dao!"

"In addition, the two people who are destined to be calamities will be born within ten epochs, and the primordial purple energy will choose one of them as its master!"

"My words are still valid!"

This time, Hongjun's attitude became much tougher. Since he had been given a ray of "Hongmeng Purple Qi", the Three Pure Ones could not fool him about the matter of Conferred God.

Then, he stretched out his hand again, and the true spirit of Haotian flew out of Yuanshi Tianzun's sleeve, and the soul of Kui-Gon also flew out of Tongtian Jiaozhu's sleeve.

Haotian couldn't help but be overjoyed!

As for Kui Gang, he had a horrified look on his face, worried that he would be killed by Daozu Hongjun.

“Haotian, you will practice with me in Zixiao Palace in the future!” Hongjun glanced at Haotian, then looked at Kui Gang’s soul: “Demons are also Tao! You should stay in Zixiao Palace with Haotian!”

"Yes!"

Qui-Gon didn't dare refuse.

Xuan Qing couldn't help but frown. It was not surprising that Haotian's Hongjun boy did this. Why did he keep Qui-Gon, this scourge?
