Chapter 236: The rise and fall of one, the original struggle

"Yes!"

Hou Tu also sarcastically said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, the killing calamity was caused by your disciples. Fellow Daoist Tongtian filled half of the Conferred God List out of righteousness. If you, the disciple of the Chan Sect, don't fill in any of them, it would be a bit unreasonable! Could it be that... Fellow Daoist wants to drag all the cultivators in the prehistoric world into the killing calamity!"

"you!"

Yuanshi Tianzun was furious.

Seeing this, Taoist Zhunti also added fuel to the fire and said, "Yes! Senior Brother Yuanshi, Taoist Tongtian is selfless, you should also set an example!"

When Master Tongtian saw this scene, he immediately revealed a satisfied smile.

If he himself does not fill it out, the List of Gods will definitely not be filled up by the disciples of the orthodox sect alone, and the other saints will then turn their attention to the evil sect.

But now, he filled in the list before Yuanshi, and filled nearly half of the places. In addition, he had painstakingly planned over the years and made friendly relations with Houtu and Jie Yin Zhun Tiao. These people, for the interests of themselves and their Taoist lineage, would naturally target Yuanshi Tianzun and Chanjiao.

This is righteousness!
Although justice seems to be of little use, it is indispensable. At the critical moment, it may become the first straw that breaks the camel's back.

Yuanshi Tianzun glared at everyone with anger in his eyes, then turned his gaze to Hongjun and said respectfully: "Teacher, it's not that I don't want to fill the list, but there are only a few dozen disciples in my Xianjiao. Even if the names of all my disciples are filled in this Conferred God List, it still won't be enough!"

He turned to look at Master Tongtian and said, "In my opinion, among all the Xuanmen sects, only Jiejiao has the most disciples. Since Junior Brother Tongtian is willing to sacrifice himself for others, why not let him fill up the Conferred God List?"

"Hahaha!"

Tongtian Sect Master suddenly laughed and said, "Yuanshi! I didn't expect that you could say such shameless words. It's really eye-opening!"

Then, he looked at everyone and said, "As a saint of Xuanmen, it is my duty to contribute to Xuanmen, but I will not be taken advantage of!"

Taiqing Laozi frowned slightly, but he still looked at Tongtian Jiaozhu and said, "Third brother, there are indeed not enough disciples under Yuanshi to fill the list. How about...you fill in a few more names of disciples?"

"teacher!"

Yuanshi Tianzun immediately looked at Hongjun.

Hongjun raised his head slightly, his expression indifferent, and slowly said: "Tongtian, what do you think?"

Tongtian Patriarch glanced at everyone and said, "Then let Yuanshi fill in the list first! If the difference is not too big, I don't mind filling in a few more disciples!"

Then, he looked at Haotian and said, "In fact, I added so many disciples for the balance of Heaven. If there are too many disciples of Jiejiao in Heaven, is this Heaven the Heaven of the prehistoric world or the Heaven of Jiejiao?"

"Brother Tongtian is righteous!"

Upon hearing this, Haotian quickly bowed to Tongtian Sect Master.

There are a total of 365 gods in the List of Gods, and Tongtian Sect Master filled in 181 of them, no more, no less, which was obviously a deliberate attempt to keep the number below half.

Daozu Hongjun nodded and said, "If there are too many Jiejiao disciples, it will indeed affect the justice of the Heavenly Court. This is something that I have not considered!"

After saying that, Daozu Hongjun looked at Yuanshi Tianzun and sighed, "Fill in the list, Yuanshi! I believe you have heard Tongtian's words!"

"Yes!"

Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to take over the List of Gods and write a dozen names on it.

However, the names he filled in were mostly those of outer disciples or third-generation disciples, and none of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect were written down.

Seeing this, Haotian couldn't help but laugh and said, "Brother Yuanshi, who are the Xiao Zhen and Deng Hua you filled in? Didn't you just want Taiyi and Nanji to take the position of the emperor? Why didn't you fill in their names? And Yuding and Guangchengzi and others?"

Yuanshi Tianzun glared at him and said, "He is my direct disciple, and he is the one who will inherit the tradition of Chanjiao. How can he be bound by this Conferred God List?"

However, after seeing the aggressive looks of Tongtian Jiaozhu and Houtu, he sighed helplessly and still filled in the names of Taiyi Zhenren and Nanji Xianweng on the List of Gods.

"There are still one hundred and sixty places missing!"

Daozu Hongjun said indifferently.

“Teacher!” Yuanshi Tianzun showed a hint of pleading: “If all the Twelve Golden Immortals are included in the List of Conferred Gods, then my Chan Sect will exist in name only!”

"Every cause has its effect!" Hou Tu said bluntly, "If Guang Chengzi and the others had not attacked the mortals under Chi You when they were assisting Xuan Yuan, how could they have been involved in the killing disaster? Not to mention being listed on the Conferred God List, in my opinion, it is only natural that the twelve of them should be killed!"

Chi You has half the blood of the witch clan and half the blood of the human clan. In Hou Tu's view, if Guangchengzi and others had not intervened, he might have had a chance to become the emperor of mankind.

If Chi You became the Emperor of Man, the situation of the Wu Clan might be much better than it is now!
Therefore, she was also very unhappy with Yuanshi Tianzun.

Yuanshi Tianzun kept silent.

However, no matter what the other saints said, they were unwilling to sign another name.

Daoist Patriarch Hongjun was helpless and sighed, "Since I founded Xuanmen, the way of immortality has flourished in the world, but the so-called way of immortality is to fight for life with heaven! The path of cultivation will produce countless causes and effects, so that the accumulation of calamity will create a huge burden on the operation of heaven and earth! Heaven created all things to nourish man, but man has nothing to repay heaven! In order to continue the prehistoric world, heaven and earth will instinctively send down killing calamities in the dark!"

Having said this, he paused and continued, "Since none of you are willing to fill the remaining quota, then just follow God's arrangement!"

"This great calamity will be divided into three categories. Those with deep roots and practices will achieve the path of immortals, those with lesser roots and practices will achieve the path of gods, and as for those with shallow roots and practices, they will achieve the path of humans, but will still experience the calamity of reincarnation!"

“In the great calamity, there will be someone who will be borne by the calamity. Whoever among you can take that person as his disciple will be in charge of the List of Conferred Gods and the Divine Whip!”

"The sky is filled with murderous intent, and the stars are shifting! At this moment, there are still more than a hundred years before the person who will be worthy of the calamity is born. You can go back and think about it first!"

Daozu Hongjun's meaning was very clear. Either everyone should fill up the List of Gods directly, or they should go into the Calamity and compete with each other based on their strength.

For the former, as long as there are enough people with true spirits on the list and their cultivation is sufficient, the killing calamity will naturally dissipate.

As for the latter, it all depends on one's ability. It depends on who has more ruthless means, stronger magical powers, more powerful magic weapons, and who can have the upper hand in the struggle of catastrophe!

However...those whose names have been signed on the List of Gods are more likely to die than ordinary people.

Yuanshi Tianzun quickly spoke up and said, "May I ask, teacher, what are the characteristics of the person who is destined to suffer the calamity? Otherwise, I'm afraid we will be like looking for a needle in a haystack!"

"The one who is destined to be calamity must have the appearance of a flying bear!" Daozu Hongjun glanced at the saints and said, "One hundred and fifty years later, you can come to Zixiao Palace again!"

"Disciple retire!"

The Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West bowed hastily.

The same is true for Haotian.

Afterwards, Daoist Patriarch Hongjun looked at Hou Tu and Nuwa and said, "My two Daoist friends, please stay for a moment. I have something to discuss with you!"

……

Jin'ao Island.

When Master Tongtian returned to Jin'ao Island, Han Yi had already returned to Biyou Palace.

"Teacher, did you gain anything from this trip?"

Seeing Master Tongtian return, Han Yi immediately stepped forward and asked about the trip to Zixiao Palace.

Tongtian Patriarch nodded and said, "I used justice as a basis to force Yuanshi to sign the names of 24 disciples of the Chan Sect on the Conferred God List! However, he only signed Taiyi and Nanji as his personal disciples! For the remaining places, it seems that we will have to fight for them in the Great Tribulation!"

It was Han Yi's idea to sign half of the List of the Gods first. This way, he could show that Master Tongtian was righteous and force him to sign the List of the Gods.

"Tae Eul?"

When Han Yi heard the name, he was stunned, and then endless murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

In his previous life, after the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was broken and Jiejiao was defeated, Han Yi had planned to practice in seclusion, but Taiyi Zhenren came and killed him with a sword.

As a vengeful person, if given the chance, Han Yi would naturally want to let Taiyi Zhenren taste the feeling of being killed by a single sword.

Tongtian Patriarch glanced at Han Yi and said, "The Conferred Gods will not begin for another 150 years. Jiang Ziya should not be born yet, but Shen Gongbao, as a demon, must have already transformed! Since you bear the name of Yuanshi Tianmo, you might as well accept him as your disciple!"

"Shen Gongbao?"

Han Yi was stunned when he heard this: "Since the disaster star has already appeared, why didn't you teach him in person, but asked me to take him in as your disciple?"

He did know that Jiang Ziya was born during the reign of Emperor Wu Yi, which was the time when Emperor Xin's grandfather was in power.

However, he didn't know when Shen Gongbao transformed!
after all……

The demon race has a long lifespan!

“That Shen Gongbao has a master-disciple relationship with Yuanshi. If I accept him, I will only be contaminated by karma!” Tongtian Sect Master laughed, “But you are different. You are Yuanshi Tianmo, and there is a dispute between you and Yuanshi. If you accept him as your disciple, you can invisibly occupy the luck that originally belonged to Yuanshi!”

"I understand!"

Han Yi nodded and said, "I wonder, teacher, where is Shen Gongbao now?"

Yuanshi Tianzun is Yuanshi, and Yuanshi Tianmo is also Yuanshi. If one can seize Yuanshi Tianzun's luck and opportunity, he will naturally have more advantages in the competition for Yuanshi Avenue.

This is changing!

As Yuanshi Tianmo's luck increases, Yuanshi Tianzun's luck will naturally decline.

Upon hearing this, Master Tongtian took out a magic talisman from his sleeve and said, "Follow the guidance of this magic talisman, and you will naturally be able to find the whereabouts of Shen Gongbao!"

"Yes!"

Han Yi immediately accepted the order.

As for other things, he did not ask too many questions because he believed that Master Tongtian knew the answer.

……

After returning to Yuxu Palace, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately summoned his twelve golden immortals and explained to them the upcoming catastrophe of the Conferred Gods.

When Guangchengzi and other Golden Immortals of the Chan sect heard this, they all looked incredulous.

Measure the calamity!

Or was it because of them that the catastrophe was triggered!

Hearing this, Guang Chengzi immediately kowtowed and said, "Please have mercy on us, Master, and point out a way out for us!"

They already have the calamity of killing in their bodies. If they are involved in the calamity of measurement again, they will surely be in a situation where there is no chance of survival.

Therefore, the only one they can count on is Yuanshi Tianzun in front of them!
"Please have mercy on me, teacher!"

The other Golden Immortals also kowtowed.

During the catastrophe, not to mention the Golden Immortal, even those with great supernatural powers, and those who are even stronger at the level of ancestors, are likely to perish.

The Longhan catastrophe and the Lich catastrophe are lessons for them.

Naturally, they didn't dare to take any chances.
