Journey to the West: Start by giving Taishang Laojun a whole life

Chapter 149: The disciple-recruiting ceremony! The Taoist name bestowed by the Supreme Lord Laozi!
Zhang Tian didn't have a good face towards Qingniu.

After all, he originally came to heaven happily, but found that heaven was full of enemies who were ready to fight him. He was really badly cheated.

What's more, he didn't believe that Qingniu had any ability to find out in advance what kind of official position the Jade Emperor would assign to him. It was most likely that he was trying to cheat him out of his money!

But Zhang Tian couldn't stop his curiosity and began to look forward to it. After all, if he could catch the eye of the Jade Emperor, he would be given a very high official position.

Just like that Marshal Tianpeng, even though he was demoted to the mortal world, he still couldn't stop showing off in front of the monkey, saying that he had obtained the Nine-Turn Great Rejuvenation Pill, received the reward from the Jade Emperor, was in charge of 80,000 Tianhe navy, and was given the title of Marshal Tianpeng.

In addition, there is Zhenwu.

Because of his extraordinary abilities, the Jade Emperor promoted him to who knows how many levels, and he was promoted to the rank of Zhenwu Zhenjun. Later, because of his meritorious service in suppressing rebellions and conquering Beijuluzhou, he was directly promoted to the rank of Zhenwu Emperor, who was in charge of a region. His promotion speed was extremely fast.

The most outrageous thing is the monkey.

The monkey dared to ask for it, and directly ascended to heaven in one step, calling himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. The Jade Emperor actually dared to give it to him, so that all the other gods in heaven came and bowed, calling him "Great Sage".

Apart from the fact that the Jade Emperor is kind-hearted, he really gives official positions based on ability. The other party is Lord Tian, the top leader of Heaven. Zhang Tian has never seen such a high-ranking official before. Let alone Heaven, even if it was in his previous life, if he met someone of this level, he would brag about it for three days and three nights!

So Zhang Tian was looking forward to it very much.

The entire Tushita Palace became visibly busy, but it had nothing to do with him. He watched like an outsider, and he was like a groom, at the mercy of others.

The golden-horn and silver-horn brought out a Taoist robe. The color was very bright and it was a grade that Zhang Tian could not recognize. He immediately asked curiously, "I have heard those Taoist priests say that the Taoist robes they wear have different colors and cannot be violated. What grade does this color belong to?"

The two boys laughed immediately, "Young Master, you are joking. We are not from a small sect, so we naturally don't know how the other party ranks. We only know that if we put on this robe, we can go to the thirty-three heavens and the eighteen levels of hell. All the gods we see will have to show respect to us. What level is this?"

Of course it is the best!

Zhang Tian felt that he was too happy and actually asked such a stupid question. He laughed so hard that he couldn't close his mouth. He took off the armor that he had taken off from Kong Buxiao of the Peacock Clan in the West Sea last time, and put on the Taoist robe. He felt extremely comfortable.

It is refined with magic power and has the ability to perform magical powers as desired.

He took a look at Tianji and immediately saw it more clearly.

[Taishang Taoist robe: It is made from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Silk taken by the Weaver Girl and refined using the stars as the shuttle. It can keep warm in winter and cool in summer.

It is engraved with the divine blessing of Taishang Laojun. Anyone who wears it will not be affected by karma, will not be torn or broken, will be as big or small as desired, will not be affected by evil spirits, and will not be stained by filth. It is a rare and exquisite product in the world! 】

Zhang Tian smiled even more, but heard Yinjiao sighing, "The young master didn't catch up with the good times. I heard a great immortal mention it before. When the old master accepted a disciple, he gave him everything. It was really good."

“Later, I was defeated by disciples from other sects. For a while, I couldn’t accept it and couldn’t get over it. In the end, I was defeated in the epochal catastrophe and my true spirit was annihilated.”

Jinjiao, who was standing by, advised, "Young Master, you must be very capable to have caught my eye, but you must not be complacent and look down on others. After all, there are always people better than you."

Perhaps the two of them felt that Zhang Tianting was to their liking, so they said some words in private, all of which were words of advice, fearing that he would end up like a negative example.

There is such a person far away.

The most recent one is Bimawen.

They listed several people, all of whom were great figures in their eyes, and great geniuses, which made Zhang Tian smile without saying anything, because they were all very familiar to Zhang Tian, such as the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, that is, Nezha whom he had seen before. Nezha? Oh, is he the one who led the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals who besieged the monkey in the future?

Erlang Zhenjun? Oh, he is indeed a genius. I played him a few days ago.

However, what interested Zhang Tianlue was that the two of them actually mentioned some so-called fallen great masters, who were great masters of the last era and had attained the Golden Immortal.

Because they changed the era and altered the Hunyuan Dao of heaven and earth, they were not as powerful as the Jade Emperor in every era. They fell from their realm, had to practice hard again from the beginning, and did not return to the realm of Golden Immortals, so they were called the fallen great masters of supernatural powers.

But their former vision is still there, their martial arts are still there, their supernatural powers and perceptions are still there, and they are much stronger than those at the same level.

"Isn't this the Zhenwu Patriarch?"

Zhang Tian thought of Zhenwu, whom he had met in Shenniu Village. In the introduction of his supernatural powers, he mentioned that in his previous life, he was a divine beast named Xuanwu who dominated the world. Later, he was reincarnated and became an immortal in just a few decades. Hundreds of years later, he became a golden immortal!
It turned out to be the reason.

"Young Master, please follow me, the banquet is about to begin!"

Zhang Tian instantly perked up.

Take a deep breath.

Following the Golden Horn and the Silver Horn, they went directly down from the thirty-three heavens to the Lingxiao Palace. The place had already changed its appearance and was completely different from what Zhang Tian saw when he ascended to heaven that day.

In the distance, there is purple cloud coming from the east for three thousand miles, and nearby, there is a rosy glow like rolling clouds.

The Golden Crow folds its wings and rests on the Fusang tree. The Jade Rabbit leaps up to the Gui Palace with a pearl in its mouth. All the stars in the sky are decorated into colored glaze lamps and hang in the sky. The Milky Way pours down as wine and the starlight condenses into tea.

The Jade Emperor sits high above, and many immortals and gods have already been placed below him. The Yao Chi Pavilion is made of jade and carved with railings. Thousands of layers of auspicious mist support the golden lotus, and thousands of auspicious lights cover the green trees. There are fairies holding plates and strong men carrying tripods. It is a very lively scene.

Music begins with the sound of bells and drums.

Zhang Tian stepped in, gritted his teeth, and slowly entered the Lingxiao Palace under the gaze of many immortals and gods.

As he entered, the music in the palace became louder, and many immortals and gods stood up, holding up wine glasses to greet him. He saw Taishang Laojun sitting on the back of a green ox, stepping on a rainbow, and behind him, fairies scattering flowers and golden lotus appearing, which was very beautiful.

Zhang Tian hurriedly saluted and respectfully called "Master", which immediately caused Taishang Laojun to nod repeatedly and said thoughtfully, "I swallowed a golden pill, and my life is in my own hands. The Xuanmen has a way to pass on the torch, and the endless cycle of reincarnation is just a joke."

"As soon as you enter my sect, I will give you a Dao name. As the saying goes, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. There is no one before one. There is no eternal Dao. It is the source of all Daos."

“And I have also said in the Tao Te Ching, ‘When one reaches the extreme of emptiness and maintains deep stillness, one can see the nothingness and attain the origin of the Tao.’”

"in this way……"

"Transform nothingness into emptiness, and keep stillness into emptiness."

"How about calling you empty?"

Zhang Tian was confused: What is empty? What is hollow?
