Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 332 Chen Xuan Bestows a Treasure, the Gate to All Living Beings

At this moment, Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, was extremely excited. He even took out tortoise shells and copper coins again to divine his fortune for the next day.

Just as Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, was emptying the copper coins from the tortoise shell, he heard someone say to him, "My lord, if you don't leave Chaoge City soon, you'll probably lose your head."

Following the sound, they saw a Taoist priest already in the room of Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo. Moreover, Ji Chang was no stranger to this person; he was none other than Guang Chengzi, the chief disciple of the Chan Sect.

The Marquis of Xibo hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Immortal Master, what brings you here? Is it that I am truly doomed and need your intervention to save me?"

Guang Chengzi nodded. "My spies in the court have already learned that the tyrannical emperor intends to kill the four great feudal lords."

“If you do not leave Chaoge City tonight, you will surely fall victim to the tyrannical emperor’s cruel hand tomorrow. That is why I have come here to help you escape this dangerous place.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, showed no sign of worry. He didn't even immediately agree to let Guang Chengzi take him away from Chaoge City.

Instead, he turned to look at the six copper coins he had just poured out. After looking at them, he sighed and spoke.

"Immortal, you may not know this, but before I left Xiqi, I cast a divination for myself. I knew that this journey would bring me seven years of imprisonment."

"I just received a personal letter from Uncle Bigan. He also mentioned that the tyrannical emperor wanted to kill the four great vassal states."

"So I cast another divination, but before I could even look at the hexagram, the Immortal Master arrived."

"However, judging from the divination, I will not be in any danger of death tomorrow. But the seven years of imprisonment I suffered will not be resolved."

"Therefore, I absolutely cannot leave now, otherwise it would be tantamount to giving that tyrannical ruler an excuse to send troops to Xiqi."

"But right now, Xiqi is not fully prepared. If we face war now, the efforts of generations will be in vain."

"Therefore, I am willing to be trapped in Chaoge City for seven years in order to buy time for my Xiqi. Moreover, I'm afraid your sect is not fully prepared either."

Upon hearing what Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, said, Guang Chengzi couldn't help but feel admiration. He immediately bowed to Ji Chang and said...

"Since Your Excellency has made your decision, I will not linger any longer. If Your Excellency is in danger of being killed tomorrow, I will certainly step in to rescue you."

After saying that, Guang Chengzi vanished from the spot, as if he had never existed.

Little did they know that everything that had happened to Ji Chang, the Marquis of Xibo, had already been relayed to Emperor Xin by the brothers Gao Ming and Gao Jue, word for word.

At this moment, Di Xin spoke with a smile, "Minister Yang, if Guang Chengzi goes to the execution ground to rescue someone tomorrow, could you please keep him here?"

Yang Jian hadn't expected that Di Xin would actually consider keeping Guang Chengzi alive. Nevertheless, he still spoke to Di Xin.

“If it were just Guang Chengzi alone, I can guarantee that he wouldn’t be able to rescue Ji Chang. But if you want to keep him here, I cannot do that at the moment.”

As soon as Yang Jian finished speaking, Chen Xuan stepped into Xiande Hall and said to Yang Jian, "I am truly gratified that you have this self-awareness."

"After all, your cultivation has improved too quickly. In just a thousand years, you have already reached the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. It is normal that your mental state cannot keep up."

Upon seeing Chen Xuan enter, Di Xin and Yang Jian hurriedly stood up and bowed to him.

Although Gao Ming and Gao Jue did not recognize Chen Xuan, they had all bowed to Di Xin and Yang Jian, so they naturally hurriedly bowed and paid their respects as well.

Chen Xuan waved his hand, helping everyone to their feet. Then he looked at Gao Ming and Gao Jue, and said to Yang Jian, "Your own disciples don't even have a decent magic weapon. As their master, aren't you being a bit irresponsible?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Jian couldn't help but look ashamed and awkwardly said to Chen Xuan, "Ancestor, you should know that Yang Jian rarely uses magic weapons. After all, what Yang Jian cultivates is the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique passed down by you, Ancestor."

"Therefore, Yang Jian planned to pass on the Nine Revolutions Profound Origin Technique to them after he met the Ancestor and obtained the Ancestor's permission."

Upon hearing Yang Jian address this young man as "Ancestor," Gao Ming and Gao Jue had already guessed the other party's identity.

He immediately knelt down again and performed the full kowtow to Chen Xuan. However, for a moment, he didn't know how to address Chen Xuan.

After all, even their master, Yang Jian, addressed them as "Ancestor." How should they address them?

Chen Xuan noticed their embarrassment and immediately said, "Your master has a powerful physical body, so you think you are like him."

"Since he doesn't have anything good to give you, then let me, your ancestor, give you a few magical treasures for self-defense."

As he finished speaking, Chen Xuan waved his hand at Gao Ming and Gao Jue. Several streaks of light instantly landed in front of the two of them.

Chen Xuan was exceptionally generous, providing Gao Ming and Gao Jue with suitable weapons, including a spear and a halberd of innate spiritual treasure level.

They also prepared two sets of immortal robes for them, both of which were top-grade innate spiritual treasures. This was to compensate for their lack of defensive capabilities.

In addition, Emperor Xin also gifted the brothers Gao Ming and Gao Jue a superior innate spiritual treasure in combination.

In the original primordial timeline, during the Investiture of the Gods war, two flag gates appeared. One was the outer flag gate of Hong Jin, a disciple of the Jie Sect, and the other was the inner flag gate of Princess Longji.

Both of these gates hold hidden secrets; if you mistakenly enter one, even if you possess high cultivation, you will suffer a terrible fate at the hands of the enemy.

What Chen Xuan gave to Gao Ming and Gao Jue was also a gate. However, it was not a small path like the inner or outer gate.

Instead, it is called the Gate of All Beings. Simply place the Gate of All Beings in front of the two armies. Even if the enemy has thousands of troops, they cannot cross the Gate of All Beings by even half a step.

Once one enters the realm of sentient beings, one's seven emotions and six desires will be amplified infinitely. Those with weak willpower will become trapped and unable to extricate themselves.

In this process of decline, the holder of the Gate of All Beings can take their lives at any time.

However, this Gate of All Beings is not something that everyone can use. If one is not careful, one will suffer a backlash from the magic weapon and sink into the seven emotions and six desires.

Chen Xuan's decision to give the Gate of All Beings to Gao Ming and Gao Jue was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather the result of his own careful consideration.

Gao Ming and Gao Jue are also known as Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears. But besides these names, they have an even more resounding name: Shen Tu and Yu Lei.

Shen Tu and Yu Lei were the earliest door gods in Chinese mythology. Since they guarded the gates of all living beings, they were naturally unaffected by the gates of all living beings.

It could even be said that this gate to all beings is tailor-made for those who are enlightened and highly sagacious.

Gao Ming and Gao Jue accepted the spiritual treasure bestowed upon them by Chen Xuan with beaming smiles. Then they knelt before Chen Xuan once more.
