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

To Master Yuding's surprise, Daoist Duobao simply smiled calmly and then spoke.

"During the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts, the cultivation level of the four great ferocious beasts was only that of the Primordial Golden Immortal. Although countless eons have passed since the Great Calamity of the Ferocious Beasts, the four great ferocious beasts have remained in a state of slumber."

"Even if their cultivation has improved, they would at most reach the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm. With the Immortal Slaughtering Formation in place, what trouble can they possibly cause?"

Daoist Duobao is right. The cultivation level of the four ferocious beasts could never reach that of a half-step saint. After all, the way ferocious beasts improve their cultivation is by constantly devouring their own kind or by feeding on their blood.

The four slumbering ferocious beasts, of course, could not provide for this purpose. Therefore, their cultivation advancement was naturally very limited.

Even the Beast King Shen Ni, during the Great Calamity of Ferocious Beasts, was only a half-step Saint in cultivation. Even Hongjun and Luo Hou were only a minor realm higher.

Otherwise, even if Hongjun joined forces with the surviving Chaos Gods and Demons, it would have been impossible to suppress the Beast Emperor Shenni within the chaos.

However, the fact that the Beast Emperor Shenni was suppressed in the chaos did not restrict his cultivation level; at most, it only slowed down the speed at which he improved his cultivation.

After all, he was a surviving chaotic god-demon, so he could naturally feed on chaotic energy. Therefore, his cultivation level should have reached the level of a Primordial Golden Immortal.

Although Hongjun knew that suppressing the Beast Emperor God into the chaos was not a good solution, he had no other choice at that time.

If Hongjun had been able to kill the Beast Emperor Shenni back then, he would have done so without hesitation, causing Shenni's soul to be scattered.

Unfortunately, the Beast King Shen Ni cultivated immortality. If he were truly killed, he could be resurrected using other ferocious beasts.

Even Hongjun at that time probably wouldn't be able to find the Beast Emperor Shenni. Rather than letting him hide right under his nose and remain undiscovered, it's better to place him somewhere he can see him.

Furthermore, after Hongjun merged with the Dao, his cultivation reached the Dao Integration Realm. Having fully mastered the power of the Heavenly Dao, he naturally no longer feared the Beast Emperor Shenni returning to the Primordial World to wreak havoc.

This is also why Hongjun released the Beast Emperor Shenni, because Hongjun always believed that he had the strength to control the Beast Emperor Shenni.

However, the four ferocious beasts were not surviving chaotic gods and demons. They were merely the condensed resentment of the fallen chaotic gods and demons.

Therefore, Daoist Duobao was certain that the cultivation level of the four ferocious beasts could never have reached the level of a half-step saint.

Hearing Duobao's explanation, the Daoist disciples finally felt relieved, even though the cultivation levels of the four ferocious beasts had surpassed theirs.

After all, among the second-generation disciples of the Daoist sect, there wasn't just Duobao Daoist, a half-step saint. There was also Kong Xuan, who possessed the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Even the Golden Spirit Mother and the Wudang Mother have now reached the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, making them absolutely comparable to the Four Fiends.

Even so, Master Yu Ding still spoke up, saying, "Senior Brother, for the sake of safety, why not have Junior Sister Jin Ling and Junior Sister Wu Dang sit in front of the two armies to oversee the battle?"

Daoist Duobao nodded in agreement, then said to Yu Yixian beside him, "Junior Brother Yu Yixian, beat the fish drum."

Yu Yixian acknowledged and strode towards the outside of the central command tent. Then, with a wave of his hand, a fish drum appeared before him.

Then Yu Yixian struck the fish drum, and in an instant, the sound of the drum resounded throughout the primordial world. All the disciples of the Daoist sect heard it clearly.

In an instant, they all left their cultivation caves and headed directly towards Xiqi. Even Wen Zhong in Chaoge City couldn't help but say to Emperor Xin, "Your Majesty, now that the fish drum has sounded, all Daoist disciples must rush to Xiqi."

Upon hearing this, Di Xin nodded. "In that case, Grand Tutor, lead a million troops to conquer the rebels of Xiqi in my stead."

Wen Zhong nodded and headed out of the Nine-Room Palace. Then, he led a million-strong army, marching majestically towards Xiqi.

Huang Feihu also wanted to go to the front lines, but remembering Chen Xuan's instructions that he and Wen Zhong could not leave Chaoge together, he could only suppress his thoughts.

Finally, he spoke directly to Emperor Xin, saying, "Your Majesty, all the Daoist disciples have now gone to Xiqi. The Three Mountains Pass and the Wandering Soul Pass need to be re-assigned with cultivators to guard them, in order to prevent any unrest among the lords of the southeastern routes."

Di Xin nodded in agreement, after all, this was after he had killed the Eastern Marquis Jiang Huanchu and the Southern Marquis E Chongyu.

Jiang Wenhuan and E Shun then declared themselves powerful warlords in the southeast and raised the banner of rebellion against the Shang dynasty. They continued their attacks on Sanshan Pass and Youhun Pass.

Both Deng Jiugong, the general of Sanshan Pass, and Dou Rong, the general of Youhun Pass, defended their passes single-handedly.

After all, Deng Jiugong's daughter, Deng Chanyu, and Dou Rong's wife, Lady Chedi, were not ordinary people.

However, this was only to deal with attacks from ordinary cultivators and mortal soldiers. If disciples from the three sects of the Xuanmen were to head towards the southeast, these two passes would be in grave danger.

So after hearing this, Di Xin nodded and said, "I wonder what King Wu Cheng thinks we should send to Sanshan Pass and Youhun Pass?"

Huang Feihu said, "If ordinary warriors were to go to these two passes, they probably wouldn't be of any use. So at least a Great Luo Golden Immortal would be needed to defend the Three Mountains Pass and the Wandering Soul Pass."

Di Xin naturally knew that the people he sent were there to resist the disciples of the three religions. Otherwise, they were merely mortals, and Deng Jiugong and Dou Rong would have been sufficient to handle them.

However, there was no suitable candidate for Emperor Xin to send a Grand Luo Golden Immortal to guard the area. After all, since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Grand Luo Golden Immortals among the human race had become extremely rare.

Even generals with the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal were mostly disciples of the Daoist sect, or disciples sent by the Human Sect to take turns protecting the human race.

However, those disciples of the Human Cult will never participate in dynastic struggles. Their sole responsibility is to protect the human race and prevent them from being consumed by the demon race.

Therefore, Di Xin was somewhat troubled. At this moment, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong spoke at the same time: "Father, your children have reached the Great Luo Golden Immortal level and are willing to go to Sanshan Pass (Youhun Pass) to share your worries."

Although Yin Jiao and Yin Hong's cultivation levels as Great Luo Golden Immortals were forcibly increased by disciples of the Chan Sect, they essentially possessed the cultivation level but lacked combat power.

If it weren't for the need to unleash the power of the innate spiritual treasure, Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi probably wouldn't have bothered with all that trouble.

However, since the two returned to Chaoge City, they have received the blessing of the Great Shang Dynasty's national fortune, and their cultivation has long been completely stabilized.

Chen Xuan personally took action, re-refining the magical treasures on the two, thus severing his connection with Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi.

Therefore, Yin Jiao and Yin Hong were absolutely full of confidence at this moment. They were just worried about not having a chance to use their skills, so how could they give up this opportunity?

However, Di Xin was somewhat worried, after all, his two sons had just returned. Moreover, they were merely substitutes trained by the Chan Sect disciples; how could he easily let them leave Chaoge? (End of Chapter)
