Chapter 172: Talking about the general situation in Taisutian
Taisutian.
As the vast world opened up by the goddess Nuwa, there are undulating sacred mountains, surrounding stars, roaring thunder, and countless strange creatures. These creatures are unrestrained, playing and fighting between heaven and earth, just like the primitive world in ancient times, performing a magnificent picture of all creatures competing for freedom in the frosty sky.
This world was created in imitation of the primitive world. Going up along the numerous cloud ladders, across endless time and space, you can see a magnificent palace.
Wa Palace!
The three innate Taoist characters on the palace plaque reflect all the ways and are filled with the aura of creation. Just by taking a glance at them, one can feel the endless laws of the Tao.
Nuwa has always lived in seclusion and did not care about worldly affairs. Except for going to the Fire Cloud Cave on Fuxi's birthday, she would never set foot in the wild on weekdays.
Very few living beings would come to Taisu Heaven.
but……
Two saints of heaven came to the deserted Wahuang Palace today.
Nuwa, with a dignified demeanor and a beautiful face, looked at Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun in front of her and said, "Why are you two Taoist friends here in my Nuwa Palace instead of meditating on the Great Dao in Shouyang Mountain and Kunlun Mountain?"
Yuanshi Tianzun was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to start.
In the past, when they were both studying under Hongjun, he called Nuwa his junior sister. Now that Nuwa has awakened the memories of the Chaos Demon God, her seniority has instantly become equal to that of the Taoist Ancestor.
"Don't blame me, Madam!"
Tai Qing Laozi was much calmer and said slowly, "We two are just standing up for Your Majesty! Hou Tu stole Your Majesty's throne as the Emperor of the Earth. Don't You mind at all?"
The purpose of him and Yuanshi Tianzun coming to Taisutian was to invite Nuwa to come out of the mountain, curb the witchcraft created by Houtu, and once again start a battle for the emperor of the earth.
There are relatively few disciples in the Human Sect and the Orthodox Sect. The Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect are still plagued by disasters, and the Patriarch Tongtian is in cahoots with Houtu. Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun do not want to confront Houtu head-on, so they come up with the idea of instigating Nuwa to compete with Houtu for the throne of the Emperor of the Earth.
“I’m afraid I’ll disappoint you two fellow Taoists!” Nuwa’s expression was calm and she was not moved by anything. “The Earth Emperor Dao Fruit is not of much use to me. If Hou Tu wants it, just take it!”
Although she didn't care about worldly affairs, she was not a fool. How could she not see that Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to provoke her to deal with Houtu.
"This……"
Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand Nuwa's thoughts.
Nuwa glanced at the two of them calmly and said leisurely: "Whether it is the fruit position, luck, or merit, it may be of great help when you just achieve Hunyuan Daluo, but if you want to go further, you have to give it up. This process is called subtraction and seeking emptiness. Didn't Hongjun tell you?"
When she was at her prime, she inherited the primordial spirit of creation, cultivated the mysterious air, and overwhelmed many chaotic gods and demons. She had already reached the point where she needed the blessing of fruit status and luck.
Although she is no longer in her prime, she doesn't want to be involved in unnecessary affairs.
After all, the mystery of the Earth Emperor Dao Fruit had long been imprinted in her heart.
"In the beginning was the Word, and God and the Word were one!"
Nuwa smiled indifferently, and boundless holy light of creation surrounded her, instantly sweeping across the Taisu Sky. There was bright rays of light, and boundless mysterious yellow energy fell into the mountains and rivers.
In the mountains and rivers, gods that symbolized the rules appeared one after another, emitting a faint golden light, and shouted in unison: "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor Wa!"
In the void, gods also appeared one after another, praising: "Holy Mother Wa, the Creator of Heaven, with great mercy and virtue, may you bless all living things!"
These gods have all reached the level of Golden Immortal or Taiyi Golden Immortal, and exude a strong Shinto aura, manifesting a variety of strange forms.
"This is……"
Taiqing Laozi frowned slightly, and then his eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he was a little unbelievable.
Nuwa looked calm and asked, "In this Taisu Heaven, I am both the Emperor of Heaven and the Emperor of Earth. Why should I wade into the muddy waters of the prehistoric world?"
Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the gods in the sky and couldn't help but murmured: "Gods and Tao are the same! My Tao is the Tao of all Taos, and all Taos are my Tao!"
He always thought that Nuwa kept the Nuwa Palace closed and didn't care about worldly affairs, so her cultivation must be behind his, but he didn't expect that she had actually reached this point.
With Yuanshi Tianzun's vision, it is not difficult to see that all the gods in Taisu Heaven are evolved from the great laws that Nuwa comprehended.
In this world, Nuwa is the creator and the absolute ruler. She can be the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of Earth, or even Pangu.
Be it merits and fortune, or the fruit of the Tao and the status of karma, they do not have much meaning to him.
Nuwa's divine thoughts moved slightly, and the gods in the sky disappeared without a trace. She continued, "My two Taoist friends, if you want me to help you contain Hou Tu, then don't waste your words! In other words, your words simply cannot arouse my interest, and I don't want to become an enemy of Hou Tu!"
Suddenly, she looked at Taiqing Laozi and said, "Of course, if Taoist Taiqing is willing to give up the position of the leader of the Human Religion, I would consider taking action!"
She is a saint of heaven, the leader of a demon cult, and the former emperor of the earth. She has been able to evolve all kinds of powers in the ancient times on her own in Taisu Heaven.
But people say that it is still a little short of the right timing.
In the past, her old self created humans from clay and became the Holy Mother of the human race in order to comprehend the mysteries of humanity. Unfortunately, the power of the Lich and Warlock races was at its peak at that time, and the human race had no opportunity to develop. Even the credit for educating the human race was occupied by Taiqing Laozi, which made it difficult for her to comprehend the mysteries of humanity.
Later, because she sacrificed herself to repair the sky, her new self replaced her old self, and she fell into the catastrophe of losing herself. She missed the opportunity, and it was too late for her to make arrangements for humanity again.
"The leader of the human religion?" Taiqing Laozi was stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting Nuwa to make such a request.
In fact, he also vaguely touched the threshold of subtraction and emptiness, but in his heart, the position of the leader of the Human Religion would be left to Xuan Du in the future.
Success is due to human teaching, and failure is also due to human teaching.
At the beginning, he traveled through the ancient wilderness, established human religions, and carried out educational work. He took this opportunity to draw out the merits of creating the world in his body. This is how he gained the favor of the Heaven and became a saint in one fell swoop.
But as his cultivation grew, he slowly became aware of a layer of restraint, the restraint of the Human Religion on him. He had thought about gathering his luck and forcibly breaking through this layer of shackles, but after hearing what Nuwa said at this moment, he suddenly realized that perhaps he should give up the position of the leader of the Human Religion and look for a broader path!
"road?"
In his heart, he felt a hint of opportunity, a hint of opportunity to break through the current constraints, but now the situation in the prehistoric world has changed and the opportunity has not yet arrived.
Taiqing Laozi seemed to be thinking about something, and said in a deep voice: "It is not impossible for the Queen to want the position of the leader of this human sect, but she must wait until the three sects of Xuanmen are unified!"
"Brother?"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's face suddenly showed a look of great surprise.
Human teachings are the foundation for Taiqing Laozi to practice his own great way, and it is also the sage's tradition recognized by the will of heaven. How can it be easily abandoned?
Taiqing Laozi looked at him dimly and sighed, "I have seen part of the great trend of the Heavenly Dao. The rise of the West and the unification of the three sects of the Xuanmen Sect are inevitable! Recently, Tongtian's behavior has been very abnormal. I suspect that he has also seen part of the Heavenly Secret, which is why he set up the Heavenly Tribulation and made friends with the two saints of the West!"
Babel?
Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned.
He has always been proud, and only his brother Taiqing Laozi can surpass him. Now, when he heard that Master Tongtian had seen the secrets of heaven that he had never seen, he was unwilling to believe it.
Can……
If it is the general trend of Heaven, then the abnormal behavior of Master Tongtian can be explained.
after all……
The other party is a saint of heaven!
If the unification of the three religions of Xuanmen is the general trend of Heaven, Tongtian will create a heavenly calamity to eliminate the pests in Jiejiao, and use the heavenly calamity to kill the twelve golden immortals of Chenjiao who are infected with the killing calamity. Jiejiao will then be able to firmly grasp the discourse power of Xuanmen in the future.
no way!
The only person who has been directly taught by the Human Sect is the Great Master Xuandu.
If the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect passed away, the only ones who could take up the responsibility of the Orthodox Sect would be Yun Zhongzi and Nan Ji Xian Weng!
But, how could the two of them alone possibly contend against the Jiejiao sect that has tens of thousands of immortals coming to pay homage?
"What a great Tongtian!"
Yuanshi Tianzun thought about it and said angrily, "I was wondering why he has been making so many strange moves recently. It turns out that he wants to become the future headmaster of Xuanmen!"
At the beginning, Taoist Hongjun preached in Zixiao Palace and laid the foundation of Xuanmen, but Jieyin and Zhunti were only nominal disciples, and Nuwa awakened her memories as the Chaos Demon God, so it was impossible for them to inherit the Xuanmen tradition. If the three religions were to become one, the future leader of Xuanmen could only be born from the Three Pure Ones.
after all……
The Three Pure Ones are all direct disciples of Taoist Patriarch Hongjun, and only these three are qualified to inherit the Xuanmen Taoist tradition and pass on the mantle of Taoist Patriarch Hongjun.
Tongtian, the master who was far away in the ancient times, did not know that Yuanshi Tianzun had come up with such a plan, but even if he knew, he would not care at all.
Whether it is the Human Teaching, the Orthodox Teaching, or the Demonic Teaching, they are all manifestations of the great way of the saints. No matter what the reason, they must be ranked in order of superiority and inferiority.
Seeing that Taiqing Laozi seemed to want to hand over the position of the leader of the human sect to her, Nuwa did not hesitate and immediately summoned the guardian Teng Snake, gave it the demon-summoning flag, and ordered: "This treasure can command the demons in the world. You hold it and obey the orders of Taoist Taiqing, and go to the prehistoric world to gain some experience!"
"Yes, madam!"
Teng Snake is an innate creature and the left protector of the Wa Palace. He possesses the strength of a great supernatural being. Whenever he walks outside, he represents the face of the Wa Palace.
"Thank you, ma'am!"
Upon seeing this, Taiqing Laozi nodded and responded, "I can hand over the position of the leader of the Human Religion to you, but now is not the right time. I hope you will understand!"
"Can!"
Nuwa nodded.
Saints are immortal and time has no meaning to them. As long as Taiqing Laozi makes a promise, she doesn't mind waiting.
She is also a saint of the Heavenly Dao, and knows that what Taiqing Laozi said is true. The rise of the West and the unification of the three Xuanmen religions are both inevitable trends of the Heavenly Dao.
now……
not the right time yet!
However, she also had some doubts in her heart. In the future that she had seen before, there was a huge catastrophe, and thousands of immortals and gods fell like rain.
But for some unknown reason, the current trend has begun to deviate from its original trajectory.
Therefore, she also thought about joining the game!
