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

The Styx Ancestor had no objection to this, and instead bowed to Chen Xuan, saying, "Disciple will obey Master's orders."

After saying that, he turned to look at the multi-eyed centipede and said, "I am the Netherworld Blood Sea Ancestor of the Styx River. I have been ordered by my master to take you as my disciple."

"From now on, you will be my second disciple. Before you, there was a senior brother named Mosquito Daoist, whose true form is a Bloodwing Black Mosquito."

"In a way, we are from the same lineage, so we must get along well in the future. After all, the Qinglian Island lineage abhors killing among its own disciples."

"Since you have entered my Green Lotus Island, you must abide by the rules of my Green Lotus Island. That is, at no time should you wantonly kill and get involved in karma."

The multi-eyed centipede hurriedly bowed to the Styx Ancestor and paid homage to him. He also said, "Disciple greets Master."

Finally, he hoped that the Styx Ancestor could bestow upon him a Taoist title, which would also be a way of putting an end to his past self.

The Styx Ancestor did not directly bestow a name upon the multi-eyed centipede, but instead turned to Chen Xuan and said, "The matter of bestowing a name should be handled by you, Master."

Thinking about the names the Styx Ancestor gave to his subordinates, such as Ghost Mother Mara, Chen Xuan felt somewhat helpless, so he simply spoke up.

“You previously called yourself the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, which you can keep. In addition, I will give you the name Yellow Flower Taoist.”

Upon hearing Chen Xuan bestow a name upon him, the Multi-Eyed Centipede immediately knelt down on the ground, saying, "Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Grandmaster. From now on, I will be the Yellow Flower Daoist."

Chen Xuan waved his hand and helped Qi to his feet. Immediately, another stream of light flew into the Yellow Flower Taoist's hand.

"This treasure is called 'A Leaf Obscures the View.' Once activated, it can block the view of others. It is especially effective against your natural enemies, the bird race."

Huanghua Daoren looked into his hand and saw that it was a green leaf that had been rolled up, with a seed of unknown origin hanging in the middle, connected to the leaf by a golden thread.

The moment he saw the treasure in his hand, information about it flooded his mind. It was actually a primordial spiritual treasure, and a superior one at that.

This stirred Huanghua Daoren's heart with excitement, and he bowed to Chen Xuan again to express his gratitude. Then he followed the Styx Ancestor to the Netherworld Blood Sea to cultivate.

After seeing the master and disciple off, Chen Xuan muttered to himself, "I'll find an opportunity in the future to have all five innate insects join the Styx Sect, and then the Netherworld Blood Sea will be quite lively."

If Jade Cauldron Immortal were to hear that Chen Xuan planned to have the Styx Ancestor take the Five Innate Insects as his disciples, he certainly wouldn't be particularly shocked.

His four monkey disciples already proved that Chen Xuan had this kind of hobby: classifying the special creatures in the primordial world.

……

In the Jade Pool of Heaven, the Jade Emperor looked at Dong Yong and the Seventh Fairy Maiden kneeling before him. His face was extremely grim as he spoke.

"It's not that Father Emperor is heartless, but that the child in your womb is a Buddha's child. He is a pawn used by Buddhism to scheme against my Heavenly Court."

"If you give birth to her, you will inevitably suffer as a result. You will ultimately become a victim of the struggle between Buddhism and Heaven."

Even if you are willing to risk your life to protect him, you may not be able to wait until he grows up. Because he is just a pawn, and his fate has already been decided.

The Jade Emperor made his point very clear, hoping that his daughter could understand his helplessness.

Unfortunately, as a mother, how could she bear to watch her child die in her womb before even being born? With tears streaming down her face, she said, "Little Seven knows that Father is doing this for Little Seven's sake. But Little Seven truly cannot bear it, and begs Father to grant her wish."

The Jade Emperor's face grew even more somber, and a hint of murderous intent even appeared in his eyes. He turned directly to look at Dong Yong and said...

"Dong Yong, is that what you're thinking too? You want your son with Xiao Qi to be born, and then be used by the Buddhist sect?"

Dong Yong spoke up, saying, "Your Majesty, the reason I was reincarnated is because I saw through the true nature of Buddhism. I wanted to escape Buddhism through reincarnation, but I never expected to be used by it."

“Even the Buddhist sect has extended its reach to my child with Xiaoqi. This has crossed my bottom line. I, Dong Yong, will settle this score with the Buddhist sect sooner or later.”

"As for my child with Xiaoqi, I beg Your Majesty to use your divine powers to completely seal his Buddha-nature, and then let me take him to the primordial world to live as a mortal for a lifetime."

"Dong Yongyuan swears to Heaven that he will never allow this child to cultivate. He will never give him the opportunity to awaken his Buddha-nature."

This was the only solution that Dong Yong could come up with after careful consideration, a way to achieve the best of both worlds. Even so, he was still worried that the Jade Emperor would refuse.

After all, would the Jade Emperor really let someone who poses a potential threat to the Heavenly Court be born into this world out of familial affection?

At this moment, the Queen Mother of the West waved her hand at Dong Yong and the Seven Fairy Maidens, telling them to temporarily leave the Jade Pool.

Then he spoke to the Jade Emperor, saying, "Senior brother, I think this method is feasible."

"If you are worried that the Buddhist sect will not give up, you can send Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears to keep a close eye on the father and son."

"At the same time, my senior brother can also send heavenly generals down to earth to protect them secretly. They can also report their situation back to the Heavenly Court as soon as possible."

The Jade Emperor nodded in agreement. “This method is feasible, but if we set this precedent, where will the Heavenly Laws of Heaven be placed?”

"What about the Weaver Girl? We can't just punish the Weaver Girl and not Xiao Qi, can we? If we don't even punish the Weaver Girl, then who will still take the Heavenly Laws seriously?"

The Queen Mother of the West naturally understood this principle, and immediately said to the Jade Emperor, "Brother, how could you forget? The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are currently in the Fire Cloud Cave. We can't take the Fire Cloud Cave; there's nothing we can do."

"As for Xiao Qi, let's punish him by making him stay facing the wall at the foot of Mount Hua for a thousand years. That way, we can at least give the Heavenly Court an explanation."

A thousand years of seclusion sounds terrifying, but what is it to a cultivator? After all, countless people spend thousands or even tens of thousands of years in a simple period of seclusion.

So the Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Then it's settled. But we'll have to wait until Xiao Qi gives birth in Heaven before punishing him to reflect on his mistakes at the foot of Mount Hua."

The Queen Mother of the West smiled and nodded, then personally retrieved the imperial edict, had the Jade Emperor write it down, and then had Venus announce it.

As a result, Dong Yong was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison, and the Seventh Fairy was punished by being forced to face the wall at the foot of Mount Hua for a thousand years. However, this would have to wait until after she gave birth.

Although the gods in Heaven knew that the Jade Emperor was protecting his daughter, they considered the punishment to be fairly standard and did not raise any objections.

As for the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, they were never mentioned from beginning to end. After all, the fact that their family of four stayed in the Fire Cloud Cave was already beyond what the Heavenly Court could easily punish. (End of Chapter)
