Chapter 280: The Final Battle of Chanjie, Zhuxian Formation Outside Jiepai Pass
The next Yuanhui will be the era of Heaven and Buddhism. Since Turtle Spirit Holy Mother and others are unwilling to join Buddhism, then joining Heaven becomes the best choice.

It is not a problem for a person with great supernatural powers to rule a region or live in seclusion from the world, but if he wants to go further, he must rely on the trend of heaven.

Practicing Buddhism is like rowing against the current, if you don’t move forward you will move backward. Ordinary practitioners are like small boats, while heaven and Buddhism are like big ships. It goes without saying who can get more benefits!

"I will follow the teacher's orders!"

The Golden Spirit Mother spoke first, followed by Gui Ling, Wu Dang, and Yun Xiao.

As for Zhao Gongming, he had allowed the good corpse Zhao Xuantan to join the Heavenly Court and become the Dragon and Tiger Xuantan True Lord six hundred years ago. Naturally, he understood the benefits of taking advantage of the situation.

As the authority of Heaven expanded, his status as the head of the Finance Department also rose, and the luck he obtained increased day by day, and he was about to kill the second corpse.

"Let's go!"

Master Tongtian nodded immediately and said, "I will take you to meet Junior Brother Haotian!"

Although the matter of conferring gods was in the charge of the Chan sect and Jiang Ziya, Haotian, as the Emperor of Heaven, naturally also had the authority to confer gods and could even add new gods.

Just like the Four Imperial Gods becoming the Six Imperial Gods, Shinto authority can be divided. After the establishment of the underworld, more gods such as the King of Fengdu appeared between heaven and earth.

Therefore, the position of the gods is not static. As long as there is a demand, not to mention 365 gods, even 3,650 can be canonized.

Patriarch Tongtian had read the Investiture of the Gods and knew that in the pantheon planned by Taoist Hongjun, the Heavenly Court was divided into eight divisions. The upper four divisions were the Division of Thunder, the Division of Fire, the Division of Plague, and the Division of Fighting; the lower four divisions were the Gods of Stars, the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, the God of Rain and Clouds, and the God of Good and Evil, totaling 365 gods.

For example, the Ministry of Finance led by Zhao Gongming was actually under the jurisdiction of the God of Good and Evil, and this department also included the authorities of the Three Stars of Fortune, Longevity and Fortune and the Tai Sui Department.

Not long ago, Master Tongtian had a conversation with Han Yi, and they both felt that with the development of Heaven, departments such as the Ministry of Finance might become independent.

In addition, after the Heavenly Court grows stronger, it will inevitably set up a Ministry of Foreign Affairs to serve all major forces, instead of only receiving Taibai Jinxing as it does now.

There is a lot of potential to be tapped!
Soon, Master Tongtian brought the Golden Spirit Mother and others to the Heavenly Palace, and asked Haotian, who had just returned to Heaven, to confer a god title on everyone.

Haotian showed a strange look on his face: "Brother Tongtian, now is the time of the Conferred God Tribulation. With the Conferred God List, why did you come to me alone to be conferred a god?"

Tongtian Sect Master smiled and said, "Brother! The power to confer the title of God is in the hands of the Chan Sect. Do you think that Yuanshi can treat my Jie Sect disciples fairly with his generosity?"

Haotian shook his head.

It is no secret in the prehistoric world that Yuanshi Tianzun hates those with fur and horns and those who lay eggs through moisture, and most of the disciples of Jiejiao are transformed from different species.

In addition, now that more than half of the disciples of the School of Orthodoxy have died, since Yuanshi Tianzun holds the power to confer gods, he will definitely allow the disciples of the School of Orthodoxy to occupy high positions.

He looked at the people behind Tongtian and said, "Jiu-Jiu-Ji Jin Ling has a profound cultivation, has gone through thousands of tribulations, and has perfected his merits. He should be the leader of the Dou Department of our Heavenly Court!"

"Junior nephew Han Yi Daoran is the Star Lord of Gou Chen. Their fates match. There is no problem for him to become the Great Emperor of Gou Chen. However, his cultivation level seems to be a little lacking now!"

"Master Gongming's incarnation is the head of the Finance Department. It is only natural for him to inherit Longhu Xuantan Zhenjun's position. It all depends on Master Gongming's opinion!"

“As for the four nephews Wu Dang, Gui Ling, Yun Xiao, and Wu Yun Xian, they are all masters of great supernatural powers. If their divine positions are too low, I’m afraid they will say that my Heavenly Court doesn’t know how to use people!”

"I wonder what kind of divine positions do you think I should assign to these nephews, Senior Brother Tongtian?"

Haotian also understood that too many disciples of the Chan sect had died, and after the Conferred Gods, they would definitely find ways to occupy high positions. He immediately came up with the idea of ​​letting the disciples of the Jie sect contain the other party... The 365 god seats in the Heavenly Court need balance, and how to arrange them also requires careful consideration.

Therefore, Haotian did not make a decision immediately, but asked Tongtian Sect Master for his opinion.

After a moment of silence, Master Tongtian said, "Jin Ling should do as Junior Brother says! As for Gong Ming, I think he can be responsible for the future diplomatic work of the Heavenly Court! As for Wu Dang, Gui Ling, Yun Xiao, and Wu Yun Xian, they have always liked to practice in seclusion and are not good at handling worldly affairs! In this case, it is better to let them serve as guardians and worshippers, directly obey Junior Brother's orders, and assist Junior Brother in supervising the various gods in the Heavenly Court!"

He heard from Han Yi that in the future, the Jade Emperor would be surrounded by four Heavenly Masters. Although they rarely interfered in the Heavenly Court, they were the Emperor's confidants.

The power of a confidant can be great or small. If Haotian doesn't need one, it is just a sinecure. If Haotian needs one, the power may be no less than that of a local emperor.

"good!"

Haotian nodded immediately.

The opinions given by Master Tongtian undoubtedly took full consideration of the situation in Heaven. They would not overshadow the host and would be beneficial to his command of Heaven.

The Fighting Department, Fire Department, and Plague Department among the four departments in Heaven were all handed over to the disciples of Jiejiao to be in charge. If they were allowed to hold high positions, it would definitely be detrimental to the balance of Heaven.

Therefore, letting Wu Dang, Gui Ling, Yun Xiao and Wu Yun Xian take up idle positions and directly obey his orders is obviously the most suitable option.

"What about Junior-Martial Brother Han Yi?"

Haotian glanced at Han Yi, then looked at Tongtian Patriarch, not knowing how to arrange it. With his cultivation level, it was still a little bit wrong for him to sit in the position of Emperor Gou Chen. Patriarch Tongtian thought for a while and said, "Let him be the Mars Star Lord first! He has the authority of Mars Fire Star Lord given to him by Taoist Shennong, so it is quite suitable! Moreover, in addition to being a disciple of my Jiejiao, he is also a disciple of Wujiao and Buddhism, so he may not stay in the Heavenly Court for a long time! If he breaks through to become a great supernatural power in the future and is willing to stay in the Heavenly Court, then consider the position of Emperor Gou Chen!"

"Brother, this is very kind!" Haotian smiled and said, "Let's follow your advice!"

The arrangements made by Master Tongtian for the Golden Spirit Mother and others undoubtedly took into full consideration the balance of Heaven and the inner feelings of himself as the Emperor of Heaven.

This touched him deeply.

Thinking of this, he immediately appointed the Golden Spirit Mother as the leader of the Dou Department, let Zhao Gongming be in charge of the diplomatic affairs of the Heavenly Court, and let Taibai Jinxing be his deputy.

Afterwards, Han Yi was named the Star Lord of Mars, and the Holy Mother Wudang, the Holy Mother Guiling, Yunxiao, and the Wuyunxian were canonized as the Heavenly Masters who protect the Dharma in Heaven.

This guardian celestial master was of the same rank as the emperor, a second-rank clergyman, but he had no real power.

However, as a close minister of the Emperor of Heaven, how much power does this so-called guardian celestial master have in his hands? Doesn't it all depend on a word from Haotian?
Therefore, everyone was extremely satisfied!

After doing all this, Haotian couldn't help but look at Tongtian Sect Master and asked, "Brother, you sent all your disciples to my heavenly palace, what about the lineage of Jiejiao?"

Hearing this, Master Tongtian sighed and said, "This is a long story. I have learned a ray of divine information. After the Conferred Gods, all the saints in the prehistoric world should temporarily leave the prehistoric world! Jiejiao has always been a big tree that attracts wind, and it has almost become the target of public criticism! Therefore, I only plan to arrange a few third-generation disciples to inherit the Taoist tradition in the prehistoric world!"

After the saint left, the prehistoric world would undoubtedly be dominated by the Heavenly Court and Buddhism. He had already taken the initiative, so he wanted to let the Jiejiao to temporarily restrain its edge.

"leave?"

A trace of surprise flashed across Haotian's face, and then he was secretly delighted in his heart. If the saint left the prehistoric world, that would be the time when the light of heaven would shine on the three realms.

If this is the case, as long as the Heavenly Court prospers and as long as the luck is sufficient, with my current strength, there may be a possibility that I can achieve the Dao of Hunyuan in the future.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but recall what Taoist Master Yuchen had said to him six hundred years ago.

"We are the only two heroes here!"

……

After making arrangements for the Golden Spirit Mother and others, Master Tongtian immediately went to Chaoge City, and then went to the outside of Jiepai Pass to set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation.

As for Han Yi, he did not stay in heaven, but followed Tongtian Sect Master.

Seeing this, Master Tongtian couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are now a thorn in Yuanshi Tianzun's side, there is no need for you to wade into this muddy water with me!"

Han Yi shook his head and said, "Teacher is a saint. Since you have set up the Immortal Execution Sword Formation, if there is no one to serve you, you will inevitably be laughed at by others!"

He paused, then continued, "I practice the Way of Time and Space. As long as the teacher stops me for a moment, I am confident that I can escape from the Saint!"

"Furthermore..."

"Teacher Jieyin should also come here at Yuanshi's invitation. If the teacher is defeated, I will naturally seek protection from Teacher Jieyin and Saint Zhunti!"

“You are quite cunning!” Tongtian Sect Master smiled and said, “As long as those two don’t make a move, I am still 50% sure that I can defeat Taiqing and Yuanshi!”

Han Yi thought for a moment, took out the God-killing Spear and the Clouds of Celebration of the Heavens, and handed them to Master Tongtian: "I hope these two treasures can help you, Teacher!"

The God-killing Spear is a fierce and rare treasure of the Heavenly Dao that can harm the body and soul of a saint. The Celebrating Cloud of the Heavens is also a defensive treasure second only to the Linglong Tower of the Mysterious Heaven and Earth.

With these two rare treasures from heaven, perhaps Master Tongtian's chances of winning could be increased by two levels.

Patriarch Tongtian thought for a moment, put away the God-killing Spear and said, "I'll lend this spear to you first! However, I already have the twelfth-grade Karma Fire Red Lotus, so the Heavenly Celebration Cloud is dispensable. You can keep it for yourself to protect yourself!"

Han Yi nodded.

He believed in the judgment of Master Tongtian.

At the same time, Emperor Xin and Queen Jiang went up to the Lu Terrace hand in hand, waiting for Yuanshi Tianzun to enter the Zhuxian Sword Formation, and then they shook the Six Soul Banner with the destiny of the human race.

“Taichuang Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tengshe Shenjun, Taiyuan Shengmu, Jifa, Jiang Ziya!” Emperor Xin looked at the six names on the Six Soul Banner and couldn’t help but laugh: “In the past, when Cheng Tang’s ancestor destroyed the Xia Dynasty, Xia Jie left behind a curse that said, “When the time comes, you and I will all die.” This curse has now come true on me! However, I am not someone you can easily mess with. Even if I die, I will take a few of you with me to the underworld!”

Queen Jiang silently grasped Emperor Xin's right hand and smiled gently: "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, I will live and die with Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xin did not answer, but just smiled at Queen Jiang. Then the Nine Cauldrons rose into the air, and the endless luck of the human race was integrated into the Six Soul Banner.
