Chapter 96: We are the only heroes here
heaven.
Tens of thousands of golden lights rolled red neon, thousands of auspicious auras emitted purple mist, and the majestic South Gate of Heaven was dark green and bright, as if it was made of colored glaze and made up of precious jade.
On both sides stood dozens of Heavenly Marshals, each wearing helmets and armor, holding millstones and banners. Around them stood dozens of golden-armored gods, each holding halberds and whips, and holding knives and swords.
Judging from the appearance alone, the majesty of heaven is evident, but if you look closely, you will find that these heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the South Gate of Heaven with their bright and beautiful appearance are at most at the level of true immortals.
"It seems that the Heavenly Court is indeed short of people!"
After looking at it for a while, "Yuchen Daojun" sighed, then took Zhao Gongming to the Ninth Heaven.
In Jiejiao, many disciples were different species who had achieved enlightenment and had served under Emperor Jun. In his previous life, Han Yi had also heard about the glory of the demon clan's heaven.
Not to mention the four demon emperors, ten demon saints, hundreds of demon gods in the Daluo realm, and nearly ten thousand Taiyi demon kings, the demons in the Golden Immortal and True Immortal realms can be seen everywhere. At that time, the one guarding the South Heaven Gate was at least a Taiyi Demon King, and from time to time there would be Daluo demon gods who would take turns patrolling and guarding.
Compared with the current heaven, it is like heaven and earth, and they are simply not on the same level.
No wonder...
Haotian will cry to Taoist Hongjun that there is a shortage of people in the Heavenly Court!
Because, there is a real shortage!
The original heaven had only nine layers of heaven. The center was called Juntian, the east was called Cangtian, the northeast was called Biantian, the north was called Xuantian, the northwest was called Youtian, the west was called Haotian, the southwest was called Zhutian, the south was called Yantian, and the southeast was called Yangtian. The place where Haotian was located was the central Juntian realm.
When "Yuchen Daojun" arrived at Juntian, Emperor Haotian had been waiting for a long time. He smiled and said, "Brother Tongtian, your presence has really brought glory to my humble palace!"
"No, no!"
The "Jade Emperor" shook his head and said in return: "Greetings to the Emperor of Heaven! The one who is here today is only the Jade Emperor, not the Master of Tongtian!"
Haotian was stunned, and did not notice the difference, but he still followed Han Yi's wishes and said, "Since you are a guest from afar, why don't you come with me to Yaochi to have a chat, Taoist Yuchen?"
The Lingxiao Palace was where he handled daily Heavenly Affairs and was not suitable for receiving guests, so Haotian took the initiative to invite Taoist Yuchen to go to Yaochi.
"Very good!"
Upon hearing this, "Taoist Master Yuchen" nodded immediately.
Zhao Gongming secretly glanced at the Emperor of Heaven and saw that he had an extraordinary bearing and was full of majesty, which was not at all like what was rumored in the ancient times.
When they arrived at Yaochi, Yaochi Jinmu also appeared and said, "Greetings, Senior Brother Tongtian!"
This time, before Han Yi could open his mouth to correct him, Haotian took the initiative to speak to Yaochi, "Junior sister, the one who came here today is Yuchen Daojun, not Tongtian Jiaozhu! Don't get confused!"
When Yao Chi Jin Mu heard this, she was slightly surprised, but she still changed her words and said, "Greetings to Yu Chen Dao Jun!"
Although, in the eyes of all living beings in the ancient world, there is no difference between the incarnation of a saint and the saint himself, but who knows what is in Tongtian Sect Master's gourd?
Since the other party claims to be Yuchen Daojun, they will just follow his ideas.
Upon hearing this, "Yu Chen Dao Jun" smiled and said, "Greetings to Daoist Fellow Hao Tian, and Daoist Fellow Yao Chi! To be honest, I came to see Daoist Fellow Hao Tian today because I want to ask for a deity position in the Heavenly Court for my disciple's good corpse! His incarnation has already merged with the twenty-four heavens and has established cause and effect with the Heavenly Court. I hope Daoist Fellow Hao Tian will help me!"
"Easy to say, easy to say!"
Haotian smiled and said, "My Heavenly Court is eager to recruit talented people. If Junior Brother Gongming is willing to join the Heavenly Court, my Heavenly Court will naturally not treat him unfairly! I just don't know what kind of god position does Junior Brother Gongming, this kind corpse, want?"
Just now, he saw with his own eyes Zhao Gongming beheading a corpse. He was amazed to see that he used the twenty-four heavens as a basis to behead a good corpse comparable to that of a great supernatural being.
after all……
In his memory, when several saints first started beheading the corpses, the Three Corpses were only at the level of Daluo Golden Immortal. It was only later that they were elevated to the realm of great supernatural powers.
Upon hearing this, "Yuchen Daojun" looked at Zhao Gongming, then looked at Haotian, and said with a smile: "The good corpse of my disciple is named Zhao Xuantan, so let him be the Dragon and Tiger Xuantan Zhenjun!"
“This…” Haotian looked embarrassed, looking at Zhao Gongming’s corpse and said, “Isn’t this a bit of a waste of talent? I see that Junior Brother Gongming’s corpse has the strength of a great supernatural being. Even if he is a regional emperor, it is more than enough. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate for him to be a Dragon and Tiger Xuantan contender!”
Zhao Gongming said nothing when he heard this, but just looked at "Yu Chen Dao Jun" as if he was obeying his teacher's orders.
The "Yu Chen Daojun" smiled and said, "The status of the god is not important. The most important thing is that my disciple has a connection with that god! Moreover, he usually manages the outer sect of Jiejiao for me! I believe that his good corpse can also be a good head of the finance department and be a good Dragon Tiger Xuantan Zhenjun!"
Money makes the world go round. The God of Wealth, also known as Longhu Xuantan Zhenjun, may not be of high rank, but the fortune and luck that he will gain in the future is far beyond the reach of other immortals and gods.
Moreover, according to the original trajectory, after Zhao Gongming fell and was listed, the deity he was given was the Lord of the Mysterious Altar of the Dragon and Tiger, a position that best fits him.
"Well!"
Seeing that "Yuchen Daojun" insisted and Zhao Gongming was obedient, Haotian immediately took out the Heavenly Emperor Seal and conferred a title on Zhao Xuantan: "From now on, Zhao Xuantan is the head of the Finance Department of our Heavenly Court, ranked third, in charge of all matters of the Finance Department, and is conferred the title of Dragon and Tiger Xuantan Zhenjun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a seal of "Dragon-Tiger Xuantan True Lord" and two magical treasures symbolizing the power of the God of Wealth, the Treasure Bowl and the Ruyi Golden Hook, appeared in front of Zhao Xuantan.
There was also a set of official uniform from the heavenly court on Zhao Xuantan, which made him look extremely majestic.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhao Xuantan immediately took the seal and magic treasure and bowed respectfully towards Haotian.
However, "Yuchen Daojun" couldn't help but take a look at the treasure bowl and the Ruyi golden hook. These two magical treasures were actually innate magical treasures.
Although, these two spiritual treasures are only low-grade innate spiritual treasures.
But, that is also an innate spiritual treasure!
Han Yi didn't know whether the Heavenly Court's background was beyond his imagination, or Haotian spent a fortune to buy horse bones, or Haotian had some means to mass-produce innate spiritual treasures. But at least, it made him see the possibility of the Heavenly Court rising in the future and dominating the prehistoric world and all the heavens and worlds.
Having achieved his goal, Han Yi did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked at Haotian and said in the identity of "Yuchen Daojun": "I see that there are really not many powerful practitioners in Daoist Fellow Haotian's Heaven! I wonder if Daoist Fellow Haotian has ever seriously thought about making this Heaven grow stronger?"
At this time, several fairies came and presented nectar, peaches and various innate spiritual fruits and placed them in front of Haotian, Yaochi, Zhao Gongming and "Yuchen Daojun".
Haotian picked up a cup of immortal wine, drank it all, and sighed, "I naturally want to expand the Heavenly Court, but human power is sometimes limited, what can I do?" Then, he looked at "Yuchen Daojun" and asked, "I wonder if you have anything to teach me?"
He could see that "Yu Chen Dao Jun" seemed to be very interested in the Heavenly Palace. He first used his great magical powers to open up twenty-four vast heavens, merged them with the Three Pure Heavens and the original Nine Heavens, turning them into thirty-six heavens. He then allowed Zhao Xuantan to join the Heavenly Palace. It was obvious that he had other intentions!
Therefore, he followed the other party's attitude and began to ask back questions.
who knew...
"Yuchen Daojun" did not answer his question, but smiled and said: "Daoist Haotian, you once practiced with Daozu, do you know the changes of dragons?"
Without waiting for Haotian to answer, he continued, "A dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide! When it is big, it can create clouds and mist, and when it is small, it can hide its shape; when it rises, it can fly in the universe, and when it hides, it can lurk in the waves! Now that spring is deep, dragons take advantage of the time to change, just like people who are successful and travel across the world! Dragons are comparable to heroes in the world! Daoist friend Haotian, since you are the Emperor of Heaven, you must know the heroes of the ancient world! Why don't you discuss it with me?"
Haotian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Daoyou Yuchen should know that I was just a Daoist boy serving Daozu in the past. I had little knowledge, so how could I know...what great heroes of the prehistoric world are there?"
"Yuchen Daojun" immediately laughed and said, "Daoyou, you are too modest! I believe that with your knowledge, you must have some real insights!"
Haotian sighed and asked, "In the past, the demon emperor Jun transformed all races into demons, occupied the Nine Heavens, and his reputation spread throughout the heavens and the worlds. Can he be considered a hero?"
"Yuchen Daojun" shook his head and said, "Emperor Jun is too conceited and cannot see the destiny clearly. He is just like Wang Lugui, who is ambitious and cannot be considered a hero!"
After hearing this, Haotian asked again, "Those twelve witch ancestors fought against heaven and earth, and were brave and diligent. Every move they made had the shadow of the great god Pangu. I wonder if they can be called heroes in the eyes of fellow Taoists?"
“Yu Chen Dao Jun” still shook his head: “The Twelve Ancestral Witches only have brute force, they are not heroes!”
Haotian had no choice but to continue probing: "That Dong Wanggong is the incarnation of the first ray of innate Yang energy, and he is also the leader of male immortals. Can he be called a hero?"
"Yuchen Daojun" continued to shake his head: "Dong Wanggong is arrogant and conceited, looking down on everyone. He is not even as good as that demon emperor Jun. How can he be called a hero?"
Haotian frowned when he heard this and said, "The Ancestral Dragon, the Original Phoenix, and the First Kirin lead the three ancient tribes. I wonder if they are considered heroes in your eyes, brother?"
"Yuchen Daojun" laughed and said, "Zulong is lustful and has no limits, Yuanfeng is just a woman, and Shi Qilin even reduced his son to Yuanshi's mount. How can they be called heroes?"
"What about Kunpeng?"
"You only have the title of a demon master, but at the critical moment, you abandoned the demon clan and left. You don't deserve the title of a hero!"
"What about the Styx?"
"Practicing the way of killing, yet living in a sea of blood all year round, being greedy for life and afraid of death, is nothing but a withered bone in a tomb!"
……
Whatever Haotian said, "Yuchen Daojun" would veto it. The Ancestral Witch, the Demon Emperor, the Human Emperor, each of them was a great and powerful person who had left a strong mark in the history of the prehistoric world.
pity……
No name can catch the eye of "Yu Chen Dao Jun".
Zhao Gongming and Yao Chi, who were listening attentively on the side, were already dumbfounded. They didn't know what "Yu Chen Daojun" and Haotian were up to.
After a long while, Haotian sighed and said, "Since these people are not worthy of your attention, then only the Taoist Ancestor and a few saints can be called heroes!"
“Yuchen Daojun” still shook his head: “Daozu opened up a new path, so he is naturally considered a hero, but he is in harmony with the way of heaven, so he is no longer a living being!”
"So, it doesn't count here!"
"Among all the saints, Jie Yin and Zhunti cried to obtain their sainthood, so they can't be considered heroes!"
"Tai Qing claims to be inaction, but he is actually doing things everywhere. He is two-faced and cannot be considered a hero!"
"Yuanshi is too arrogant. He looks down on creatures that lay eggs and have fur and horns. Without a broad mind that embraces all living things, he is not a hero!"
"Nuwa's will is now stronger than people's will, and she no longer has the ambition to be the leader of the demon cult!"
"It is a bit heroic to be calm and transform into a reincarnation, but it is a pity that you cannot leave the netherworld!"
A trace of helplessness flashed across Haotian's eyes. He had never expected that in the eyes of "Yuchen Daojun", even saints were not considered heroes. He could only shake his head and said, "Besides this, I really don't know who else can be called a hero?"
“Yuchen Daojun” smiled and said, “In my opinion, a hero should have great ambitions, good plans, the ability to bend and stretch, and the ambition to contain the universe and swallow up the world!”
Haotian asked quickly, "Who is worthy of the title of 'hero'?"
Upon hearing this, "Yu Chen Dao Jun" pointed at Hao Tian first, then at himself, and laughed, "In my opinion, the only two people who can be called 'heroes' in the prehistoric world are Daoyou and me!"
Haotian was shocked, as if he did not expect this answer. He even dropped the cup in his hand to the ground. He waved his hands and shook his head, saying, "I am just a Taoist child. Even my becoming the Heavenly Emperor was due to the face of the Taoist Ancestor. How can I be worthy of the title of 'hero' from Taoist friend?"
As for Zhao Gongming, he was already stunned, looking at the "Yu Chen Daojun" in front of him with a puzzled look.
Is this really the incarnation of my teacher?
How crazy!
Even the two saintly masters were mediocre in his eyes.
It was really unbelievable for him.
The same is true for the Queen Mother of the West.
Although she had heard that Master Tongtian was broad-minded and taught everyone, she had never heard that he was so contemptuous of the other saints!
Seeing Haotian's trembling appearance, "Yuchen Daojun" quickly said: "It is not a shame to be born in a humble family. Only those who can bend and stretch can be a real man. Why do you belittle yourself, Daoist friend?"
