Chapter 135 The Plot of the Western Religion
The demon clan was ready to make a move, and there was also a considerable conflict between the Western Religion and the Asura clan. The Taoist Jie Yin used his great magical powers to open up a Pure Land of Hualian near the Netherworld Blood Sea to train the Western Religion disciples.
The Asura clan was bloodthirsty and aggressive by nature, so when they saw a group of uninvited guests coming to the sea of blood, they naturally wanted to cause trouble for the disciples of the Western Religion.
but……
Thanks to the restraint of the Taoist Master Jie Yin and the Patriarch of the Styx, the current struggle between the Western Church and the Asura clan is still restrained below the level of the Daluo Golden Immortal.
"Too deceiving!"
Shiva, one of the four demon kings of the Asura clan, was furious when he saw those disciples of the Western religion, under the guise of compassion, stopping the creatures of the Asura clan from going to the prehistoric world to kill and plunder. If it weren't for Zizai Tian, Boxun and others holding him back, he would have destroyed the Hualian Pure Land long ago.
Brahma smiled and said, "This is the master's decree. It's useless for you to get angry! The Western religion has a saint in charge, so it's not easy to mess with!"
Among the Asura clan, apart from the leader Minghe, the four most powerful ones are Paxun, Brahma, Devi, and Shiva.
In addition, there are several great golden immortals such as Indra, Vishnu, Rutoro, the Ghost Mother, and the Heavenly Queen Uma, as well as many Asura kings!
In terms of foundation, the Ashura sect is actually not inferior to the saintly tradition. It is just that due to the lack of a true saint in charge, it has always been suppressed by the saintly tradition.
Upon hearing this, Shiva said angrily: "Can't you see that the Western Cult has evil intentions? People have no intention to harm tigers, but tigers have the intention to hurt people! How many Asuras have been converted by those Western Cult disciples in these days? If this continues, it will be the turn of great masters like us!"
Zizai Tian, Boxun and others also understood this truth, but the ancestor of the Minghe River issued a decree, asking them to restrain the Asuras under their command!
Yu Se Tian sighed and advised, "Shiva, calm down! The Pure Land of Hua Lian is guarded by the White Lotus Boy holding the Saint's Treasure, so it's not that easy to attack! What's more, if we act rashly, I'm afraid we will drag the entire Asura clan into the quagmire!"
"So what?" Among the four Asura demon kings, Shiva had the hottest temper. He said angrily, "No one in the Asura clan is afraid of death! Even if they die, with the leader in charge of the Asura Dao, those Asuras can throw themselves into the sea of blood again in the next life! What are you afraid of?"
Although the Styx Patriarch had been claiming to be in seclusion, he was always paying attention to the movements of the four demon kings. Seeing Shiva's excitement, he couldn't help but sigh: "The Western Religion has come with bad intentions!"
In the past, he was also one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace. His strength was unrivaled among all the others. He was also accompanied by the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus and the Yuantu and Avici Swords. In terms of realm, he could be said to be the number one person under the saints. It was said that the Sea of Blood would never dry up and the River of Hell would never die. How could he not see the conspiracy of the Western Religion?
but……
It was precisely because he saw through the Western religion's plan that he did not dare to act rashly.
But he knew how dishonest those two saints of the Western religion could be once they found an excuse.
"pity……"
"The ancestor missed the chance to become a saint!"
The eyes of the old man of the Styx pierced through billions of voids and looked towards the Hualian Pure Land. He sighed and said, "Otherwise, why would we be afraid of those two guys, Jie Yin and Zhunti!"
With a slight movement of his mind, he quietly left the Netherworld Sea of Blood and fled towards Shouyang Mountain.
If the saint did not intervene, he would not be afraid even if the Asuras and the Western Religion went to war.
Can……
But he didn't believe it. With the personalities of Jie Yin and Zhunti, would they watch the disciples of the Western Religion being slaughtered by the Asuras under their command?
All those below the saints are ants. Relying on the everlasting properties of the Sea of Blood and the Immortal River of Hades, the River of Hades is confident that it can save its life in front of the two saints.
But I can’t…
Protecting the entire Asura clan!
Therefore, he could only seek help from several other saints.
Taiqing is the leader of the Three Pure Ones and his strength is unfathomable. Not long ago, he fought a great battle with Tongtian in the chaos and even evolved three clones that are comparable to saints.
It is the first choice of the Styx.
……
Han Yi, who left Wuyi Mountain and traveled around the ancient world to save the souls of the dead and accumulate merit, also heard about the conflict between the Western Church and the Asura clan.
"Strange?" Han Yi asked in confusion, "According to the developments in the last life, it should take two or three hundred years for the Western Church to attack the Netherworld Blood Sea, establish the Hualian Pure Land, and convert the Asura clan. How could it be so early? Could it be... another butterfly effect caused by my rebirth?"
According to his memories before his rebirth, the Western Church attacked the Ashura clan because a few hundred years later, Brahma, one of the four demon kings of the Ashura clan, lured Kinnara, a disciple of the Western Church, into the devil.
The disciples of the Western Religion have lived under the protection of saints all year round, but in terms of strength, they are far inferior to the disciples of the Asura Religion. They suffered a great loss in the initial battle.
Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the Western Taoist's Taoist Master to remain indifferent. He first incarnated as a saint and severely damaged the four demon kings of the Asura clan in one fell swoop. Then, with his great magical powers, he almost collapsed the sea of blood, forcing the ancestor of the Styx to ask Taiqing Laozi for help.
The price that the Styx paid was the Xuanyuan Water Controlling Flag, one of the five innate flags.
Later, this flag was given by Taiqing Laozi to Xuanyuan, an outer disciple of the Human Sect, who was known as the Zhenwu Emperor in later legends.
Therefore, this Xuanyuan Water Controlling Flag was later also called the Zhenwu Soap Carving Flag.
"perhaps……"
"It's time for the teacher to get involved!"
After thinking for a moment, Han Yi used the special connection between the two to pass the news to Tongtian Sect Master who was in seclusion studying the Taiqing magical powers.
Although Patriarch Tongtian was very powerful and wielded the Zhuxian Sword Formation which was said to be unbreakable by anyone except the Four Saints, as well as the Six Soul Banner which was said to be able to harm the spirit of a saint, he did not have any powerful protective treasure. As a result, in the subsequent battle of the Zhuxian Formation, he was ambushed by the Dinghai Pearl by the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
It's not enough to just attack without defense! Taiqing Laozi has the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Linglong Tower and the Lidi Yanguang Banner, Yuanshi Tianzun has the Zhutian Qingyun and Wuji Xinghuang Banner, Jieyin Taoist has the Twelve-Grade Merit Golden Lotus, Zhunti Taoist has the Qinglian Baose Banner... These spiritual treasures are all in the prehistoric world, known as the most powerful defensive treasures that are invulnerable to all kinds of attacks.
It cannot be broken by ordinary means.
If Master Tongtian can take advantage of this opportunity to obtain the Twelve-Rank Karma Fire Lotus or the Xuanyuan Water Control Flag from the Ancestor of the Styx, he should be more confident in dealing with the Conferred God Tribulation in the future.
At least……
That’s what Han Yi thought.
……
And Master Tongtian, who was far away on Jin'ao Island, studying the magical power of transforming one qi into three pure ones, also thought of this after receiving Han Yi's message, and immediately prepared to get involved.
He counted with his fingers and thought to himself, "Has Minghe gone to find Taiqing?"
He also knew about the war between the Western Church and the Ashura clan through the backup plan he left in the Kunlun Mirror.
only……
I didn’t expect it to be so long in advance!
"It looks like this is a chain reaction caused by the heavenly calamity!"
"This time, the calamity has been caused. Among the several saintly sects, the one that has been most seriously affected, apart from my Jie Sect, is the Western Sect led by Jie Yin Zhunti!"
"It is estimated that they want to covet the reincarnation authority in the hands of Minghe, so as to help the disciples of the Western Religion to step into the immortal path after their death, join the Western Religion, and re-attain the Bodhi fruit!"
Tongtian Sect Master is a saint of the Heavenly Dao who exists with heaven and with Tao, has gone through countless calamities without being worn out, and has not been stained by cause and effect. He possesses boundless power. Combining the information he obtained from Han Yi with what is happening now, he has deduced the plans of the two saints in the West in just a moment.
"That's fine!"
Tongtian Patriarch's eyes were sharp, as if he had made up his mind. He suddenly stood up and said, "Since the Styx has gone to find Taiqing Laozi, then I will go to see the two saints of the West! With the Luobao Money, it shouldn't be difficult to get the twelfth-grade karma fire red lotus from the Styx!"
Before this, he thought deeply about Han Yi's words. Although it was unrealistic to take the entire Jiejiao directly to the West to become one of the three leaders, he knew that the two saints in the West were profit-oriented people. As long as the benefits he offered were generous enough, he might be able to get them to stand on his side.
Thinking of this, Master Tongtian immediately asked his alter ego, the Corpse Spirit Bao Tianzun, to quietly go to Mount Xumi to prepare for a conversation with the two saints from the West.
He is now in seclusion seeking a way to crack the problem of One Qi turning into Three Pure Ones. The evil corpse Yuchen Daojun was transformed by Han Yi into the Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor Emperor and the good corpse Shangqing Emperor using the Supreme Forgetfulness Method. Using Han Yi's identity, he serves as the national teacher in the Shang Dynasty. Only his own corpse is relatively free.
So he had no choice!
……
Mount Sumeru.
When Lingbao Tianzun descended to the west, Jieyin Taoist sensed something and said to Zhunti Taoist: "Brother, a distinguished guest is coming. Let's go and welcome him!"
"Dignified guest?"
Taoist Zhunti was stunned at first, then he made some deductions and snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's not an evil guest! The disaster that guy set up has caused great suffering to my disciples of the Western Sect!"
"Brother, be careful with your words!" The Taoist Jie Yin chuckled and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "No one comes to visit you for no reason! That Taoist brother has been acting more and more irrelevant recently. Maybe it's a good thing that he came to my West?"
A saint can cross billions of spaces with just a thought. While Jie Yin and Zhunti were talking, Lingbao Tianzun had already arrived at the foot of Mount Sumeru.
Seeing this, Jie Yin stepped on the golden lotus and also came to the foot of Mount Xumi: "Brother Daoist, you have come from afar. I am sorry for not welcoming you. I am sorry for neglecting you. I hope you will not blame me!"
“No, no!” Lingbao Tianzun saw this and immediately returned the greeting, “It is I who disturbed you!”
He followed the Taoist Jie Yin all the way to Mount Xumi. Looking at the scenery along the way, he couldn't help but sigh: "You two Taoist brothers, this Western religion is also quite extraordinary!"
It is well known that the West is barren.
But this time...
When Tongtian Jiaozhu sent his incarnation Lingbao Tianzun to Mount Xumi, he discovered that under the governance of Jieyin Zhunti, the West had already shown signs of revitalization.
Therefore, I couldn't help but be secretly shocked!
The Taoist Jie Yin said with a smile: "My western part is poor and barren, but it cannot compare to the rich and beautiful eastern part!"
Lingbao Tianzun heard this and did not refute it. He just suddenly changed the subject and said, "I heard that the two Taoist friends are trying to plan the blood sea and the river of Hades?"
Taoist Zhunti thought something was not good.
Could it be...
Is this Lingbao Tianzun the helper invited by Minghe guy to deal with them?
Seeing Jie Yin and Zhunti's solemn expressions, Ling Bao Tian Zun hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, the two of you! I am not the helper invited by Minghe! Minghe should be on Shouyang Mountain now, asking Taiqing Laozi for help! And I am actually here to lend a helping hand to the two of you!"
