Chapter 349: The Beginning of the Journey to the West, the Silence of Heaven

Zixiao Palace.

Taoist founder Hongjun, Taiqing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Zhunti Taoist, and Jieying Taoist gathered again, but this time there was also Nuwa, as well as Haotian and Yaochi who were summoned.

"teacher!"

Taiqing Laozi looked at Hongjun in confusion.

Daoist Ancestor Hongjun said in a deep voice: "The origin of the Heavenly Dao once evolved into nine primordial purple qi. I used one strand, and the six of you also used one strand to become saints! In addition, I also gave one strand to Haotian! The remaining strand was given to Hongyun in Zixiao Palace, but it has now been swallowed up by the origin of the earth!"

He looked at the saints and said, "The Heavenly Dao has nine extremes. Only when nine saints come together can the Heavenly Dao be completely perfected. Only then will you have the opportunity to transcend!"

"Now, the Honghuang Heavenly Dao has suffered a lot of damage during the game with the Xuanhuang Realm Heavenly Dao. In addition, a ray of Hongmeng purple energy was swallowed by the Earthly Dao's origin. The Heavenly Dao is in an unprecedented weak period. I will retreat for a while to help the Heavenly Dao sort out its origin!"

"As for the missing primordial purple energy, you need to enter the chaos and find enough chaos origin to help the Heavenly Dao be reborn."

Everyone frowned when they heard this.

The origin of chaos is usually hidden in the chaos. It can only be conceived in the singularity formed when a large universe is born.

But with the rise and fall of the chaos tide and the plundering of many chaos demons in the past, this origin of chaos that can give birth to a universe has become extremely rare.

The saints only glimpsed the existence of such things in the chaotic universe through the long river of time and space, but none of them had actually seen it.

Of course, except Nuwa!
She is one of the oldest chaotic gods and demons in this chaotic universe.

Daozu Hongjun continued, "Chaos is boundless and contains endless creations. There must be a chaotic singularity and initial space-time that is enough to form a large universe! Only the origin of chaos bred in it can make up for the shortcomings of the Heavenly Dao! Therefore, you all have to enter the unknown universe to find the origin of chaos!"

As he spoke, he looked at Haotian again and said, "Before, I gave you a ray of Hongmeng purple energy, because I saw that you could use the position of the Emperor of Heaven to gather infinite luck and have the possibility of becoming a Heavenly Saint! Therefore, you must find a way to prove your Dao as soon as possible and become the eighth Heavenly Saint since the creation of the prehistoric world!"

"Yes!"

Haotian nodded quickly.

The saints looked at Haotian with some unfriendly eyes. They did not expect that the Taoist Patriarch actually secretly bestowed a ray of primordial purple energy on Haotian.

Hongjun also noticed this, and immediately looked at the saints and Duobao and said: "Among the six of you, plus Duobao, whoever brings back the most Chaos Origin, I will give him the opportunity to become the ninth Heavenly Dao Saint!"

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and a gleam of light flashed in their eyes.

They are already saints of the Heavenly Dao, so naturally they cannot use this opportunity, but they can give it to their disciples. Whoever has one more saint under his/her tutelage will be able to gain more say in the prehistoric world.

Jie Yin and Zhunti were secretly delighted. If they were alone, they might not be able to defeat the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, but with the combined efforts of the two of them, plus Duobao Tathagata, they would naturally have the advantage.

Master Tongtian also thought so. In his eyes, even if Duobao joined Buddhism, he was still his disciple and theoretically closer to him.

Nuwa's expression remained unchanged.

Obviously, the opportunity mentioned by Daozu Hongjun did not have much appeal to her. The reason why she came here was more for her own path.

Taiqing Laozi took in the expressions of the crowd, and then looked towards Yuanshi Tianzun. Everything was self-explanatory. Only if the two of them joined forces could they have a chance to gain control of the Ninth Saint of Heaven.

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said, "Teacher, if we all leave Honghuang, what will happen to Pingxin, Houtu, and Han Yi who you have temporarily suppressed, if something happens to them?"

The Taoist Patriarch wants to go into seclusion to sort out the Way of Heaven. When they leave the prehistoric world, the Way of Heaven falls into silence. Wouldn't the prehistoric world become the world of the Taoist saints?

"It doesn't matter!"

Hongjun looked calm: "My three corpses are still in the wilderness, and with Haotian in charge of the heaven, they can't make any waves!"

As he spoke, he warned the saints, "The prosperity of the West is related to the general trend of Heaven. It is not only my will, but also the will of Heaven. Don't waste your time! Before entering the Primal Chaos, you must make arrangements. Haotian will cooperate with you. Don't hurt each other's harmony for the sake of temporary gains and losses!"

"Yes!"

The saints nodded quickly.

Jie Yin and Zhunti were even more delighted. With these words from Taoist Patriarch Hongjun, the prosperity of the West and Buddhism became a foregone conclusion.

Duobao Tathagata will not stop it, as this is related to his repayment of karma and also to his future path.

Although Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun were somewhat reluctant, they forced themselves to suppress the slight dissatisfaction in their hearts after hearing the order from Daozu Hongjun.

Afterwards, Daozu Hongjun said to Haotian: "The matter of disasters was originally created by Han Yi in the name of Yuchen. Now that he has been suppressed by me, I will hand over the power of disasters to the Heavenly Court. I hope you can make good use of it and let the glory of the Heavenly Court shine on all the heavens and worlds!"

Just as Haotian was about to thank him, Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Teacher, my disciple Nanji is the Nanji Changsheng Great Emperor, one of the Six Heavenly Emperors. He controls the myriad thunders and should be in charge of the disasters of this prehistoric world!"

Hearing this, Haotian glared angrily.

He had never expected that Yuanshi Tianzun would actually want to seek the power of disaster for his disciples.

Daozu Hongjun nodded: "But if Nanji wants to exercise the power of disaster, he also needs the approval of Haotian and the Thunder Department among the Eight Departments of Heaven!"

This time the plan ended in failure, and the Chan sect under Yuanshi Tianzun suffered the most, so Daozu Hongjun still wanted to compensate the other party in his heart.

but……

In order to prevent Yuanshi's followers from causing trouble, he divided the power into three parts and gave them to Nan Ji, Hao Tian and the God of Thunder respectively.

The saints returned to the primitive times, gave instructions to their disciples, and then entered the chaos one after another.

Patriarch Tongtian originally wanted to go see Han Yi, but when he saw the three ancient sacred mountains of Qiankun, Yinyang, and Luohou above the East China Sea, which were evolved by the power of heaven, he let out a deep sigh.

Just like that, with the departure of the saints, the prehistoric world fell into peace again, and Zhen Yuanzi also returned to Wuzhuang Temple, intending to seize the opportunity to become a genuine saint.

Di Jun also set his sights on the tunnel.

However, what he had his eyes on was the position of Fengdu Emperor in the underworld.

This position was held by Fengdu, the incarnation created by the great master Xuandu with the method of Tai Shang Wang Qing. However, as Tai Qing's original body went deep into the chaos, only an incarnation Li Er was left, who became the Tai Shang Lao Jun sitting in the Tushita Palace. Di Jun's ambitions exploded, and he naturally would not miss this rare opportunity.

"First, I will plot for the authority of the underworld, and with the help of the three talents of heaven, earth, and man, I will take my imperial path a step further, and then I will find an opportunity to plot for the position of the saint of the underworld!"

Di Jun has a clear goal. He is now the Ziwei Emperor of Heaven, and through Dao Ran Bo Yikao, he has been the Emperor of Man for a long time.

These two identities have enabled him to make great progress in the way of the emperor. If he could take control of the power of the underworld, perhaps he could break through the bottleneck of Hunyuan.

He learned from Pingxin that the tunnel could now accommodate five underground saints. Pingxin, Houtu and Han Yi each occupied a saint seat, which meant that there were still two saint seats that were pending.

Of course he wants to fight for it!
Currently, the powerful people in the prehistoric world who are qualified to compete with him are only Zhen Yuanzi, Haotian, Queen Mother of the West and a few others. He still has a great advantage.

As for Fuxi and his companions, they will probably focus their attention on the revived humanity, and it is unlikely that they will devote their energy to the tunnel.

This is his judgment!

……

At the same time, Subhuti found a reason to drive Sun Wukong out of Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, and he soon caused trouble in the underworld and broke into the Dragon Palace.

Of course, with his current cultivation level of Taiyi Jinxian, it is impossible for him to fight with real swords and guns. Instead, the powerful people in the underworld and the Dragon Palace are just acting with him!
Soon, he brought Bull Demon King, Dragon Demon King and others and caused quite a stir in Dongsheng Shenzhou. Haotian then sent Taibai Jinxing to the Heavenly Palace to recruit them.

At first, Sun Wukong, who was ignorant of the ways of the world, was happy to be the horse keeper. But when he heard that this was an inferior position, he overturned the stables and went straight to rebellion.

In order to maintain the face of the Heavenly Court, Haotian sent heavenly soldiers and generals to attack, even if it was just for show, but in the end he ended up recruiting them.

This time, in order to establish enough reputation for Sun Wukong, he was directly given the title of "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven" and was appointed as the guard of Pantao Garden.

The gods all understand tacitly.

There were even many immortals and gods who hoped that Sun Wukong would cause more trouble so that they could take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters and settle some bad debts in Heaven.

Therefore, many gods in heaven privately and affectionately called Sun Wukong "the Great Sage of Settlement" and even lowered their status to befriend him.

"The Great Saint of Balance, that's quite interesting!"

Han Yi, who occupied Jin Chanzi's consciousness, dared to allow Jin Chanzi to reincarnate from the six realms of reincarnation only after he had confirmed many times that Hongjun was in seclusion to sort out the Heavenly Dao, the saints had left the prehistoric world, and the Heavenly Dao had fallen into silence.

Although his original body is temporarily unable to leave Guixu, it does not prevent him from making secret arrangements to trick the person from Zixiao Palace at the critical moment.

Daozu Hongjun wanted to eliminate the cause and effect, but he would not let him do so. As long as the cause and effect were not eliminated, the other party's transcendence would be delayed.

This is also the purpose of Han Yi's trouble.

He began his first journey to the West in accordance with the Buddhist plan. Before reaching the Liusha River, he specially trained a tiger spirit from the Huangfeng Territory.

Afterwards, he took the initiative to bury himself in the Quicksand River, allowing General Juanlian, who had transformed into a fish demon, to eat Jin Chanzi's body, and he continued to reincarnate like this for life after life.

And in every life, when he passed by Huangfeng Ridge, he would cultivate the tiger demon named "Tiger Vanguard" and tell it to hide its strength.

One day, he looked at the Five Elements Mountain that fell from the sky and smiled strangely: "I don't know, when the Great Sage Equaling Heaven escapes from the Five Elements Mountain, will Tiger Vanguard's three punches shatter his dreams? Will he then realize his own weakness and see clearly the calculations of the gods and Buddhas?"

Now, Sun Wukong's mind is still unsettled and his will is unrestrained. If he can be made to see through the calculations of the gods and Buddhas, there is a great possibility that he can be used for his own purposes.

And this is also the reason why Han Yi has worked so hard to cultivate the Tiger Vanguard!
