People in Jiejiao practice Taoism and become gods

Chapter 323 [It is people who can promote the Way, not the Way that promotes people] (Please subscribe)
Faced with the provocation of the Primordial Demon, Rahu naturally wouldn't fall for it. Before he understood the arrangements made by Xuanqing and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable in the prehistoric world, he would absolutely not risk his life by entering the prehistoric world in his true form.

He coldly looked at the Primordial Heavenly Demon: "Fellow Daoist, don't be too happy yet. Although the Holy Mother of Taiyuan, the Holy Mother of Jinling, and Pingxin can block my avatar, they cannot block the calamity of the Five Turbid Worlds!"

Before the words were finished, the heavens and earth trembled violently, and five extremely strange demonic energies, accompanied by the power of the primordial calamity, manifested in the primordial world.

After these five demonic energies manifested, all living beings in the primordial world sensed them, especially cultivators, who felt a sense of panic that the Great Dao was about to be severed.

"Five turbidities and evil times!"

Upon hearing this, the Primordial Heavenly Demon couldn't help but show a hint of worry. Without the suppression of the Demon Realm, the calamity of the Five Turbid Worlds would definitely erupt.

Even though his true form is the Lord of Heaven, he can only delay this process, but has no way to completely resolve the negative emotions of all living beings in the primordial world.

The five demonic energies stirred up the myriad phenomena of time and space before exploding and transforming into a jet-black spiritual rain that fell upon the primordial land.

The power of calamity erupted first, and various natural disasters such as landslides, earth fissures, droughts, floods, hurricanes, and tsunamis descended upon the primordial world in succession.

Following closely behind is the power of defilement, which stirs up the desires in the hearts of all beings, and creates a kind of cognitive obscuration that cloudes the mind of cultivators. Many methods become obscure and difficult to understand, and may even lead to demonic possession. Only killing can alleviate this power!
After the defilement of perception comes the defilement of afflictions, which complement each other. At this moment, the seven emotions and six desires of man are infinitely amplified by the power of the defilement of perception.

Greed, anger, delusion, killing, plundering, lust, jealousy, anxiety...

All sorts of primal desires erupted at once!
In this situation, people become suspicious of each other, and practitioners with weak resolve even begin to doubt their teachers and fellow disciples!
The defilement of all beings also descends upon them!

A wicked trend has swept across the land, stirring up the darkest parts of people's hearts!
"Why is it that those saints and those with great supernatural powers can be high above others?"

"Why?"

This power even caused the beings of the primordial world to become suspicious of the sages. The sages of the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao were not affected, but the sages of the Human Dao felt a great terror.

The power of the sages of humanity comes from the primordial beings. If the primordial beings no longer trust them, they will fall from the realm of sages.

Normally, people fear the power of saints and admire their virtues, so they dare not say anything. But as this evil trend begins to spread, black turns white and white turns black.

"That Kunpeng guy abandoned the two demon emperors in the past and took away the Hetu and Luoshu, which is why the demon race failed to rule the prehistoric world. Such a being is not worthy of being a demon master, let alone a saint!"

Among the demon race, emotions ran high, and some powerful demons belittled the Kunpeng to the point of worthlessness.

"Yes, and that guy Fuxi too!"

"Clearly a demon emperor, yet willingly falling into depravity, reincarnating as a human, and becoming some kind of human emperor!"

This is dissatisfaction with the existence of Fuxi.

Meanwhile, similar sentiments arose among the human race: "Humans and demons are sworn enemies, and Fuxi, having served as the Demon Emperor of the demon race, how could he be reincarnated as a human and become the Human Emperor of our race?"

"And Shennong, he actually married into a foreign tribe to help the Phoenix Clan eliminate their karma!"

"Xuanyuan De is unworthy of the position. If it weren't for the help of forces like the Phoenix Clan, the Chan Sect, the Heavenly Court, and the Dragon Clan, how could he have ascended to the throne of the Human Emperor?"

"The throne of the Human Emperor should belong to Li Tan!"

……

Under the influence of this unhealthy trend, both the demon race and the human race selectively forgot the achievements of Kunpeng, Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan, and instead focused on their dark history.

If there's no dark history, then create one; all sorts of unofficial histories emerge endlessly.

The story goes that Kunpeng secretly loved Xihe, but Dijun stole her away, which is why he has been lurking in the Demon Court, waiting for an opportunity to betray Dijun...

The claim that Fuxi was a sister-complex and that he only mastered the Dao of Music to flirt with Nuwa...

The reason Shennong manifested his bull-headed form was because he was cuckolded by Tingyao...

The claim that Xuanyuan relied on selling hooks to make Li Tan give up the throne of the Human Emperor, and that he had three thousand women, was just an excuse to cover up his homosexuality...

These unofficial histories may not be true, but they are certainly unbelievable, and they are often told with great detail and conviction.

"Which bastard is spreading rumors about me?"

In the long river of time, Fuxi, who was fighting against the Chaos Demon God, was furious. As a saint of humanity, he naturally knew that the Five Turbid World Calamity had broken out in the prehistoric world, and he also sensed the thoughts of all living beings in the prehistoric world.

Xuanyuan and Litan, who were originally looking out for each other, also felt a chill and then vented their anger on the Chaos Demon God.

"Slander!"

Kunpeng was also furious. He betrayed Dijun because he was unhappy that Dijun forced him to join the demon race. What did Guan Xihe have to do with it?

"calm!"

Shennong, however, remained calm. He looked at everyone and said, "These negative emotions are the result of countless years of accumulation by all living beings in the primordial world. Even humanity has been tainted by the five turbidities of this evil world!"

"Keep your mind focused and rational; we must not let anger cloud our judgment!"

The Ancestral Dragon was also affected. Although he was the source of the dragon bloodline, it was because of his willful actions during the Dragon-Han Calamity that the dragon race was entangled by karma for hundreds of years.

"Why should that sinner, the Ancestral Dragon, be allowed to continue commanding the dragon race upon his return?"

"He is a sinner against the dragon race!"

The Ancestral Dragon's Dao Heart was as hard as iron, and it was difficult for ordinary things to shake it, but upon hearing these words, a sense of sadness still rose deep within him.

Xuanqing also witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sigh, "That Luo Hou fellow really struck at the vital points of several human saints!"

When the beings of the primordial world begin to question these saints of humanity, their status may decline.

Fortunately, all five sages except Fuxi had already achieved the Great Golden Immortal Realm, so they were not harmed by the backlash of humanity.

However, Fuxi remained unmoved in the face of these rumors and gossip, and there was a faint indication that he was on the verge of becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal.

"Everything is changeable, yet change itself is unchanging!"

The Primordial Great Dao symbolizes the creation of the chaotic universe from nothingness, which is difficult to comprehend and master. Fuxi chose the most difficult path for himself.

This is why, while Shennong and Xuanyuan have both attained enlightenment, he has yet to do so!
But once he achieves the Great Golden Immortal of Hunyuan, his Great Dao of Taiyi will also advance by leaps and bounds.

Moreover, since the Great Dao of Taiyi symbolizes the process from nothing to something, and contains the changes of reality and illusion, if he were to emulate Hongjun and follow the path of reduction and seeking emptiness, he would surely achieve twice the result with half the effort on this path.

After thinking it over, Xuanqing decided to provoke Fuxi.

He repelled the God of Death with a single blow and joked, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, don't worry about it! We won't believe a few rumors anyway. Even if you really like flirting, it's not a big deal!"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi's lips twitched involuntarily. He knew it; Xuanqing wouldn't miss any opportunity to tease him!
However, at this moment, he had grasped the essence of the Great Dao of Taiyi and was on the verge of attaining enlightenment. He also knew that Xuanqing was trying to help him break through this barrier. If he were easily swayed by a few words, wouldn't all his cultivation of the Great Dao of Taiyi have been in vain?

Nuwa rolled her eyes at Xuanqing in annoyance, then summoned the "Red Embroidered Ball" and hurled it at the Chaos Demon God who was fighting Fuxi.

She transformed into human form along with Fuxi, and naturally wouldn't allow the Chaos Demon God to ruin Fuxi's opportunity!

Boom!

The "Red Embroidered Ball," refined by Xuanqing, is even more powerful and possesses the power of cause and effect, enabling it to automatically track and target any creature it has been locked onto.

Caught off guard, the Yellow Spring Demon God was directly defeated by Nuwa, leaving him completely disoriented. His chaotic divine blood spilled out, revealing the power to crush the ancient universe.

At this moment, Fuxi took a crucial step!
After attaining the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Fuxi's strength increased dramatically. After joining forces with Nuwa, he even killed the Yellow Spring Demon God in an instant!
Seeing this, Shi Qilin couldn't help but tease, "The unofficial histories of the other fellow Daoists may not be true, but Fellow Daoist Fuxi's may not be!"

But in response, he was met only with a "Taiyi Divine Thunder" and a "Creation Divine Thunder".

Fuxi and Nuwa were aware of the gravity of the situation. These two divine thunderbolts were not particularly powerful; they were merely meant to serve as a warning to the First Qilin.

"Deserve it!"

Yuan Feng gloated.

She never expected that Shi Qilin would dare to mock two Grand Luo Immortals at the same time.

Even the First Emperor couldn't help but chuckle.

As for the Chaos God who fought against them, they were furious. Did the others have the mind to joke around, as if they thought these Gods didn't exist?

On the other side, the Three Pure Ones within the Dharma Image of the Primordial Heavenly King also felt a sense of worry after sensing the changes in the primordial world.

The Tongtian Sect Leader frowned slightly: "Should we use our backup plan and return to the Primordial World?"

"Being not!"

Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head: "If it's that guy Luo Hou, even if we return to the Primordial World without me entering it, it will be difficult to keep him here. It's better to treat it as a test for our disciples!"

If it's just an incarnation of Rahu, then Taiyuan Shengmu, Jinling Shengmu, Pingxin, and others can handle it.

Although the calamity of the Five Turbid Worlds will cause internal strife in the prehistoric world, with many powerful beings present, the unrest will remain within a controllable range.

Those who have not severed their three corpses will be affected by the evil world of the five turbidities, but in the primordial world, there are now quite a few great supernatural beings who have severed their three corpses.

For example, the Antarctic Taoist, Guangchengzi, and Chijingzi of the Chan Sect, Xuandu of the Taoism, and the Holy Mother Wudang and Holy Mother Guiling of the Jie Sect have all severed their three corpses, which is enough to temporarily maintain the stability of the prehistoric world.

In addition, the human race's Zhuanxu and Shaohao, the witch race's Xingtian and Jiufeng, the demon race's Bai Ze, and the Buddhist sect's Yaoshi Daoren, have also severed their three corpses and are not affected by the five turbid evil worlds.

Boom!

When Fuxi attained enlightenment, the power of turbidity also affected many primordial beings.

This power is the most bizarre of the Five Turbidities; it can shorten the lifespan of ordinary people out of thin air, and even cause the primordial spirit of a Golden Immortal to gradually decay.

It should be understood that, in theory, Golden Immortals are already as old as heaven and earth, and as long as they do not encounter external factors, their lifespan is almost infinite!
But once the immortal golden nature is lost, the immortality of the Golden Immortal becomes nothing but a joke!

As an extension of the Golden Immortal realm, the Taiyi Golden Immortal cannot completely escape the influence of the cycle of time and space like the Daluo Golden Immortal, transcending the Three Realms and the Five Elements. They are also affected by the power of life turbidity and slowly lose the seemingly infinite lifespan of the Golden Immortal!
Most cultivators aim for immortality, but now, the power of life defilement has robbed them of the foundation for longevity.

How could they possibly be willing to accept this?

They were unwilling to accept it, but what could they do in the face of this corrupting force?
Once Golden Immortals and Taiyi Golden Immortals lose their immortality, their only option is to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm!
The path to immortality emphasizes aptitude. Most cultivators who can reach the Golden Immortal realm already possess considerable potential and have exhausted all their good fortune!

Taking it a step further is incredibly difficult!

In the past, if Golden Immortals could live forever, they might have chosen to give up!

But now, only the Great Luo Golden Immortal can achieve immortality, so their only option... is to switch to the demonic path, which has a lower barrier to entry!
As long as they continue to kill, using the essence of other living beings to replenish their own essence, they will not be without a chance to attain the Great Luo!
But this...

However, it goes against the will of the saints and the order established by the Heavenly Dao!

"The demonic path is destined to flourish!"

Luo Hou laughed loudly. Seeing that his several avatars were no match for Jinling Shengmu and the others, he immediately used his divine powers to recall them.

Since the primordial saints cannot return to the primordial world in a short time, he still has plenty of time to test Yuanshi Tianzun's backup plan.

Therefore, he was not in a hurry!
A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole. In the Chaos Origin Sea, he used scheming and self-interest to destroy countless worlds created by Pangu... He is quite skilled at instigating internal strife!
He coldly looked at the Primordial Demon, then disappeared into the chaos near the Primordial World: "Fellow Daoist Primordial, the future is destined to be the era of the demonic path, and all things in heaven and earth will also head towards destruction and return to nothingness!"

"This is an inevitable trend!"

Upon hearing this, the Primordial Demon fell silent. He knew that what Rahu said was true... The primordial world would eventually perish!
However, at this moment, the voice of the true self resounded in his heart: "What great trend? My heart is the heart of heaven, my will is the will of heaven, my way is the way of heaven, I am the great trend of the primordial world!"

Immediately afterwards, the decrees of the sages manifested in Shouyang Mountain, Kunlun Mountain, Jin'ao Island, Mount Sumeru, the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, the Dragon Palace, and so on!
"A great calamity is imminent, and there is no way to avoid it. You must immediately leave the mountains, spread the Dharma and the Tao, and use the methods of the sages to dispel the calamity of the primordial world!"

It is people who can promote the Way, not the Way that promotes people. With the great changes in the world and the decline of human nature, there must be virtuous people to promote the Way and restore order to the primordial world.

Although the Five Turbid World is filled with boundless calamities, morality can overcome the end times, saintly virtue can overcome the current state of affairs, blessings can overcome the killing times, merits can overcome the interrupted times, and hidden virtues can overcome the calamities. As long as one propagates the Dharma and spreads the Way, it can also become an opportunity to attain enlightenment.

A great calamity is also a blessing in disguise!

As long as the disciples of the sages take turns transmitting the teachings, and with the light of a single lamp pierces through the five turbidities of this evil world, illuminating the path ahead for all beings, they can accumulate boundless merit, mend the broken continuity of the Heavenly Way, and seize a glimmer of hope for all beings in the primordial world.

This is why, even though it is known that the five turbidities and evils have descended, no saints have returned.

A towering tree cannot grow in a greenhouse. Only those with great supernatural powers who have gone through numerous calamities have the possibility of breaking through to the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

"Gentlemen, follow me down the mountain to spread the Dharma!"

With the Antarctic Taoist in charge of the Heavenly Court, Guang Chengzi took charge of the Chan Sect. After receiving the decree from the Sage, he immediately led the Chan Sect disciples down Kunlun Mountain.

Shen Gongbao was among them.

Looking at the primordial aura that permeated the wilderness, he murmured, "I cultivate the path of calamity; perhaps I can use this great calamity to transform into the primordial source of calamity!"

"This is my destiny!"

Meanwhile, at several other sacred sites, streaks of rainbow light also flew out, preparing to spread the Great Dao of the Sages throughout the primordial world in accordance with the Sages' decrees.
