Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

Chapter 21 Haotian's Helplessness, the Path to Enlightenment Fails

Is it wrong?

The answer is definitely yes. If Zhou Yi previously only had the potential to become a Great Luo Immortal, then now Zhou Yi is a sure thing to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal in the future!

This is the function of the True Ruler's position!

The rank of a True Monarch carries the same amount of celestial and spiritual fortune as the four chief bodhisattvas of Buddhism share from within the Buddhist community.

Not to mention, the positions of Heaven and Earth not only carry the fortune, but also have a certain authority over Heaven and Earth.

Those holding ranks above True Lord have the authority to establish their own government and command, and can directly communicate with the great will of Heaven and Earth without needing to go through the Heavenly Court's register of immortals. This is the case with Yang Jian's 1,200 grass-root gods.

Although these 1,200 grass-root gods have no celestial status or celestial court registration, they are still righteous gods of heaven and earth because they were enfeoffed as gods by relying on Yang Jian's position as a True Lord.

It can be said that each True Lord or Emperor's position is a small Heavenly Court.

With the title of True Lord and the identity of Pangu, it is foreseeable that Zhou Yi will at least become a Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivator in the future.

Therefore, the Jade Emperor felt regretful at this moment, regretting that he had so easily agreed to the Buddhist sect's offer of guidance!

"Senior brother, compared to a Grand Luo Golden Immortal, those hundreds of millions of Great Dao merits are far more important!"

Hundreds of millions of merits!

Yes, this was personally promised to him by the Buddhist guide!

Generally speaking, ten million merits are enough for a mortal to attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, while hundreds of millions of merits are enough to cultivate ten Great Luo Golden Immortals out of thin air.

This is being trained directly from ordinary people!

If so, with the foundation of a perfect Taiyi Golden Immortal, cultivating a hundred Daluo Golden Immortals would not be a problem.

One hundred Great Immortals!

With the addition of the Grand Luo Golden Immortals he secretly cultivated, and with a little more effort, he could gather 365 Grand Luo Golden Immortals, thus giving the Zhou Tian Star Array a purpose.

"Junior sister is absolutely right. Although it's a pity this time, it's not comparable to hundreds of millions of merits. Besides, whatever happens in the future, it's all his own choice, so we can't blame him."

It's not to say that a simple book like the I Ching is worth spending hundreds of millions of merits to guide people to enlightenment.

When Jieyin made the deal with Haotian, it was mainly for the smooth progress of the Buddhist Journey to the West calamity, so that Haotian would cooperate with the Journey to the West calamity!

As for the Book of Changes, it's just a minor addition!

"Junior sister, this boy has now become the Celestial True Lord, which means he has usurped the power of our Celestial Enforcement Department..."

Haotian felt somewhat helpless about this matter!

I thought Yang Jian would do things for me earnestly because of my relationship with him as his uncle!

Unexpectedly, Yang Jian was also a shrewd man. Afraid of offending the disciples of the Heavenly Court's saints, he rarely returned to the Heavenly Court's Department of Law Enforcement and was essentially absent from work.

"Senior brother, if that Qinglian boy survives the tribulation in the future, it wouldn't be a bad idea to train him. Anyway, Yang Jian doesn't really care about this position, so we can just give him a leisurely post later!"

Yaochi didn't care, but Haotian shook his head.

"Junior sister, you're thinking too simply. The celestial officials of the Heavenly Court, especially these high-ranking ones, are not something I can decide. If Donghua doesn't agree, it's probably useless!"

The most important thing is that the Primordial Celestial Venerable would absolutely never agree to this!

"well......"

After saying that, Haotian sighed helplessly. It was still because his cultivation level was too low. If he had the cultivation level of a saint, he wouldn't be unable to speak now!

"If one could attain the position of Heavenly Emperor..."

Haotian muttered to himself, while Yaochi beside him said discouragingly, "Senior brother, don't think about it. Master won't allow it, and neither will those saints. Back then, Fuxi was able to attain the position of Saint Emperor only because he took advantage of the world's advancement and the gap when Rahu Demon Ancestor attacked Master from behind."

Otherwise... hehe...

The Heavenly Emperor's Position!

He is the supreme ruler of the Three Realms, the true monarch, the son of the great will of Heaven and Earth, and the ruler who governs all living beings in the Three Realms on behalf of the creator god Pangu.

This position is of the highest and most prestigious!

He wields the power of the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, the greatest weapon in the world.

Even the Dao Ancestor Hongjun would respectfully address him as "Your Majesty"!

Therefore, Hongjun Daozu would never allow such a thing to happen. Back then, when the demon race's Heavenly Court Emperor Jun wanted to attain the position of Heavenly Emperor, the Heavenly Court was absolutely capable of defeating the Witch race.

As long as Di Jun proceeds steadily and surely, he will definitely be able to unify the fortunes of the Three Realms and attain the position of Heavenly Emperor.

But in the end, he was still outmaneuvered by the sage and all his efforts were in vain!

Behind the sage is actually the will of the Dao Ancestor Hongjun. Back then, Haotian and Yaochi, as the Dao Ancestor's attendants, witnessed their master's decree.

After the deaths of the Lich King and the Demon King, in order to prevent the next Heavenly Court from attaining the position of Heavenly Emperor, Hongjun Daozu directly divided the position of Heavenly Emperor into six, which was recognized by Heaven and Earth!

It can be said that if Haotian wants to attain the position of Heavenly Emperor, he will not only have to face the Sages, but also the other Six Emperors!

Of the other six emperors, the most difficult to deal with is Houtu Niangniang. She is the Lord of Reincarnation, a being who surpasses even a saint. Is she someone that Haotian can challenge?

Unless Houtu Niangniang voluntarily relinquishes her position, is that even possible?

"My lord, you made me the supreme ruler of heaven and earth, so why do you treat me like a puppet?"

Haotian was devastated by this!

"Senior brother, you should think more about attaining enlightenment. Didn't the Sage of Guidance pass on the method of attaining enlightenment in a dream to you? If you can truly create a great world using this method, attaining the Primordial Chaos realm won't be a problem!"

Having one's own unique world is indeed a way to attain the status of a Primordial Saint.

But.....

"The dream world of the guide saint is indeed very mysterious, but it also poses a great test to great wisdom. Everything looks so attractive, yet it is like a castle in the air!"

It doesn't look very realistic!

To use this method to create a real, vast world is incredibly difficult!

Haotian shook his head repeatedly!

"How could it not be difficult? If it weren't difficult, Buddhism wouldn't only have one Great Thousand World now. But this is also the only reliable method of enlightenment in the Three Realms today!"

I don't have that idea anymore!

If Senior Brother truly wishes to advance further on the path of the Great Dao, I fear he can only dedicate himself to diligent practice within this dream world.

Yaochi advised!

The laws governing the Three Realms are infinitely varied!

However, the number of lineages that can lead to enlightenment is pitifully small!

Back then, the Dao Ancestor spoke at Zixiao Palace about proving the Dao through force, severing the three corpses, and merit.

However, proving one's Dao through force is too unreliable. Without a Chaos Spiritual Root, who would dare to create the world in the chaos like the Great God Pangu?

Severing the Three Corpses...

Throughout the entire Three Realms, only Hongjun Daozu succeeded, while everyone else failed. Was it because they lacked wisdom, or because they lacked great fortune and perseverance?

Is that possible?

Talking about other people is fine, but talking about the Three Pure Ones is absolutely nonsense!

Aside from those who receive guidance, almost all saints attain enlightenment through merit, and their attainment of enlightenment through merit is mainly due to the blessing of the Primordial Purple Qi!

It can be said that the dream world of Jieyin has provided a fourth path to enlightenment for the Three Realms!

Because the connection was successful.
