Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 175 Humanity and Fate

"Fellow Daoist Yuanshi, there is no need for you and me to fight anymore, right?" Bai Jing asked with a smile.

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed and retracted his magical powers.

The battle between the saints also ended.

After Tongtian glanced at the two saints from the West, he flew directly to Bai Jing, bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist."

"You are too polite, Daoist Tongtian. If you get hurt, it will be bad for me. I don't want to deal with three saints alone."

"Tongtian, are you creating your own path?" Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly asked.

"That's right, second brother, what do you think of my great sword path?"

"It's more sharp than defensive."

"The way of the sword should be to move forward courageously, rather break than bend. No matter who is ahead or what is blocking you, you should kill them with one sword!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said, "Tongtian, do you know that being too strong will lead to breaking?"

"That's better than being bound by rules and shrinking back."

Yuanshi Tianzun was silent for a long while before he turned to Bai Jing and asked, "Daoyou Bai Jing, is Hell Pingxin the incarnation of Daoyou Hou Tu?"

"Yes and no."

"how do I say this?"

"Fellow Daoist, you can regard a peaceful mind as the embodiment of the great way of reincarnation."

"I see. No wonder she has the fighting power of a saint."

"Speaking of this, I wonder when Fellow Daoist Hou Tu will be able to achieve the integration of Dao. She also promised us to help us find the marks of the Demon God of Weapons and the Demon God of Formations in the cycle of reincarnation!" Tongtian suddenly sighed.

The main reason is that Tongtian found that he had reached a bottleneck in his practice of formations over the years. He wanted to create a formation that was stronger than the Zhu Xian formation, but he could not find a way to do it.

In comparison, Yuanshi Tianzun has made great progress in the art of refining equipment. Now, the acquired spiritual treasures refined by Yuanshi Tianzun are becoming more and more powerful. Even some of the top-grade acquired spiritual treasures that are refined more carefully have the power of higher-grade innate spiritual treasures.

If he is allowed to study for some more time, perhaps Yuanshi Tianzun will be able to refine an acquired spiritual treasure that is comparable to the best innate spiritual treasures.

Yuanshi Tianzun's progress in the art of refining weapons depends entirely on his own comprehension, while Bai Jing holds the fragment of the Jade Disc of Creation that controls the great art of refining weapons. Bai Jing's level of refining weapons will always be higher than Yuanshi Tianzun's.

The acquired spiritual treasures that Bai Jing had refined before, even the top-grade acquired spiritual treasures with forty-eight prohibitions, were only as powerful as mid-grade innate spiritual treasures.

This made Bai Jing feel very confused. Logically speaking, given the number of restrictions in the spiritual treasure, its power should not be that much different from that of the top-grade innate spiritual treasures of the same level.

After all, the power of the restrictions of spiritual treasures should be the same. The difference is that the innate restrictions contain innate immortal spiritual light, while the acquired restrictions do not contain innate immortal spiritual light.

If a spiritual treasure is damaged, the innate restriction can use the innate immortal spiritual light within the restriction to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and slowly recover. If a spiritual treasure is damaged, it can only be repaired by someone else or directly scrapped.

However, no matter whether it is the acquired spiritual treasure refined by Bai Jing or the acquired spiritual treasure refined by Yuanshi Tianzun, they cannot exert the power of the innate spiritual treasures of the same level.

After these years of settling down, Bai Jing gradually came to some understanding.

If you want to refine an acquired spiritual treasure of the same level as an innate spiritual treasure, restrictions are one aspect, refining techniques are another, but the most important thing is the understanding of the great way of the weapon.

If one has mastered the Dao of Instruments for a beginner, one should be able to master more than nine restrictions and refine a world-class spiritual treasure. If one's comprehension of the Dao of Instruments exceeds 49%, one should be able to master all restrictions.

But this is just a beginning. Refining a weapon is not enough to just master the restrictions. It also requires the assistance of weapon refining techniques, as well as the mastery of various great ways. Using the great ways of weapons as a guide, they can be integrated into the spiritual treasure. Only then can a powerful spiritual treasure be refined.

Bai Jing's control over the Great Dao of Instruments was now over 70%. After the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array was completed, Bai Jing planned to use the many merits accumulated before, plus the merits gained from setting up the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array this time, to refine a defensive acquired merit treasure.

The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler is an offensive acquired treasure of merit, and the combination of attack and defense is the kingly way.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian, the Holy Lotus Purifying World Formation is about to be completed. Fellow Daoist, please come with me to the Sea of Blood!"

"Good!" Tongtian responded, bowed to Yuanshi Tianzun, and disappeared into the chaos with Bai Jing.

Yuanshi Tianzun sighed. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the voice of Tiandao Hongjun: "Yuanshi, come to Zixiao Palace quickly."

Yuanshi Tianzun was stunned when he heard this, obviously not expecting that his teacher would summon him at this time.

Without any delay, he raised his hand, cut through space and came to Zixiao Palace.

"Hello, teacher!" Yuanshi bowed to Tiandao Hongjun.

"Yuanshi, do you think there is something wrong with my choosing Haotian as the Emperor of Heaven?"

Yuanshi Tianzun hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher, I feel that Haotian's background does not qualify him to be the Emperor of Heaven, but since he is the Emperor of Heaven chosen by you, he represents the aptitude of Heaven, and I should support him. That is why I have never expressed my dissatisfaction with the Emperor of Heaven in front of all living beings in the prehistoric world."

"I am very pleased that you have such an idea. Heaven's Way is the foundation of the universe. All living things in the universe should put Heaven's Way first. However, some people who do not know Heaven's Way always want to go against Heaven's will.

Among all my disciples, you are the only one who is most pleasing to me. I have something to teach you. When it is done, you can make your teaching flourish."

After hearing Hongjun's words, Yuanshi Tianzun's face showed no expression. He bowed to Hongjun and said, "Teacher, please tell me what you want to do. As long as it is in accordance with the way of heaven, I will do my best."

Hongjun nodded with satisfaction and handed over the matter.

Looking back at the sea of blood, when Bai Jing and Tongtian came back, the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array was only one step away from completion.

Several hours later, a brilliant white light suddenly burst out from the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array, and the white light shot up from the sea of blood into the sky.

At this moment, all living beings in the prehistoric world saw a twenty-four-grade white lotus slowly blooming. After the white lotus petals unfolded, the fragrance of the flower spread throughout the prehistoric world.

Wherever the fragrance of flowers passes, all filthy things are thoroughly purified, and the entire world seems to be completely renewed.

The ancient world expanded by about half a percent, and many famous mountains, rivers, and paradises appeared.

At the same time, the concentration of innate spiritual energy in the prehistoric world also increased by half. Some acquired creatures that had been unable to practice since birth took advantage of the opportunity of this purification of heaven and earth and successfully embarked on the path of cultivation.

For a moment, cheers were heard from all over the world.

After a stick of incense, the twenty-four-grade white lotus that could be seen by all the creatures in the prehistoric world slowly disappeared, and the white light also converged. In the end, only a twenty-four-grade white lotus was left above the sea of blood.

This white lotus is ten thousand feet tall and ten thousand feet wide. It absorbs the soul power of the human soul, and then uses this soul power to continuously release white light to purify the evil spirit and filth in the sea of blood.

The pure innate spiritual energy purified by it is first used to nourish the true spirits of the human race and escort them to reincarnation.

This cycle can ensure that the Holy Lotus Purifying Array will never stop operating. Unless a saint comes to destroy it, it will always exist above the sea of blood.

But then again, is there really a saint who dares to attack the Holy Lotus Purifying Array?

This great formation is now purifying the filth in the sea of blood and ensuring that the sea of blood will not expand any further. This is of great benefit to the prehistoric world. If a saint is bold enough to destroy the Holy Lotus Purifying World Formation, he will be deposed from his sainthood immediately due to the terrible consequences.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, isn't the formation already completed? Why hasn't the person in the center of the formation come out yet?" Tongtian asked anxiously.

“Don’t worry, fellow Daoist. This Holy Lotus Purifying Array still needs their help to maintain its operation for a while. Once the array is stable, they will naturally come out.”

Tongtian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that.

Bai Jing took a step forward, came to Xuanyu, patted Xuanyu on the shoulder and said: "Xuanyu did a good job!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Saint."

"Xuan Yu, you are the first human created by Nuwa. I assisted Nuwa when she created humans, so you have been predestined to be with me since you were created. Once the Holy Lotus Purifying World Formation is completed, the human race will be able to obtain a huge amount of merit and luck, and the human race's position as the protagonist of heaven and earth will be determined. It is time for you, the leader of the human race, to step down and let others take over."

Xuan Yu was filled with mixed emotions when he heard this. Ever since he was created by Nuwa, he has been working diligently for the reproduction and survival of the human race.

Today, after hearing Saint Bai Jing say that he could step down as the leader of the human race, Xuanyu felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

Seeing this, Bai Jing smiled and said, "Xuanyu, are you willing to take me as your master?"

"Disciple is willing." After saying that, Xuanyu performed the three-kneeling and nine-kowtow ceremony to Bai Jing and shouted, "Xuanyu greets Master!"

Bai Jing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Get up!" "Thank you, Master."

After Xuanyu stood up, Bai Jing smiled and said, "My lineage is destined to have seven direct disciples, and you are the last one.

It’s just that Xuanyu, you are different from your fellow brothers and sisters. In addition to practicing step by step, you can also choose another path. "

"Is the Master talking about the path of cultivation?"

"I guess so! You are the first innate human race, and you have been the leader of the human race for more than a dozen Yuanhui. You have gathered a huge amount of luck, so you have a path of luck to prove the truth."

"Qiyun proves the truth?"

"Yes, you should also know that the number of the innate human race is limited. Initially, there were 129,600 people, and now about half of them have perished, leaving only more than 70,000 people.

As a person of the innate human race, you serve as the leader of the human race, so naturally you have the luck of part of the 129,600 innate humans. If in the future you become the leader of the human race as a person of the acquired human race, you will gather a huge amount of luck from the acquired human race.

When the luck of the two is superimposed on each other, there is a chance to prove the truth with luck and achieve the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. "

Xuanyu's eyes lit up when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would have a chance to become a saint.

Bai Jing knew Xuanyu was moved by his expression, so he continued, "Xuanyu, although the method of using luck to prove the Dao is good, there are two prerequisites for using this method to prove the Dao."

"Master, I wonder what the prerequisite is?"

“I have just said the first condition. You need to become the leader of the human race again with the identity of the acquired human race and gather the luck of the acquired human race.

The second condition is that your enlightenment must be carried out at the same time as the revival of humanity. Only when humanity is revived can you have the opportunity to enlighten yourself and become a saint. After enlightenment, you will not be expelled from the prehistoric world by the Heavenly Dao. It can even be said that your enlightenment is part of the revival of humanity."

After listening to Bai Jing's words, Xuan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "Master, do you want me to reincarnate again?"

Bai Jing shook his head and said, "The innate luck of the human race gathered in your body will disappear after reincarnation. Moreover, if you reincarnate as an acquired human, you may not have the cultivation qualifications like you have now."

"Then what should the disciples do?" Xuanyu asked.

"Some time ago, your senior brother Kong Xuan came to the underworld to send a wisp of Hong Yun's soul to reincarnate. This wisp of soul was once the good corpse that Hong Yun cut off, but later Hong Yun found a new way to prove his Dao, so he cut off the good corpse.

The soul left by Shan Shi was too incomplete, and Hong Yun's real body was still there, so this soul had no connection with Hong Yun after reincarnation.

You can follow Hong Yun's example and, once the Holy Lotus Purifying World Formation is completed, use the merit machine you have obtained to chop off your own good corpse, and then directly send the good corpse into reincarnation.

When you behead the corpse, you can also separate a wisp of the essence of your soul. When the good corpse reincarnates, he will still be you. When he becomes the leader of the human race and cultivates to the Daluo realm, he will be able to awaken his memories of his past lives. At that time, he will merge with your body, and the luck gathered from the two lives will also be integrated. Then you can try to prove the truth with your luck. "

"Master, after my disciple beheads the corpse, and then lets the good corpse enter reincarnation, wouldn't that be equivalent to the disciple's good corpse being destroyed? At that time, will the disciple's realm fall back to the peak of Daluo Jinxian?" Xuanyu asked.

"Your realm will inevitably fall, and only when your realm falls will it be a good thing for you."

"Why?"

“Because in order to achieve enlightenment through luck, it is best to follow the path of the Primordial Golden Immortal rather than the path of the Quasi-Sage. After killing the three corpses, if there is no Primordial Purple Qi, even if you have great luck, it will take some twists and turns to complete the unification of the three corpses.

The path of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal is different. After the two forces of luck converge, you can forcefully break through that threshold, condense your own Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, and thus complete the path of enlightenment."

"Then what law should my disciple practice to break through to become a Hunyuan Jinxian?"

"I think the human race's legacy is a good way to go."

"But the way of the torch is the way of Suiren, I..."

"Who says that a road can only be walked by one person? Besides, the way of inheritance and fire is the road created by Suiren. You can also use the way of inheritance and fire as a basis to improve and create your own road."

Xuanyu nodded as if he understood what was said.

At the same time, outside the underworld, Jie Yin and Zhunti were seeking to see Niangniang Pingxin.

To be honest, the two saints from the West are still confused about who Niangniang Pingxin is.

In other words, they don't understand why an incarnation of Hou Tu can possess the power of a saint, considering that the three corpses of their two brothers only have the power of a peak quasi-saint.

Aren't saints supposed to be unique?

No matter how powerful an incarnation is, it should not have the power of a saint.

But it just so happens that Niangniang Pingxin possesses the power of a saint, and this was confirmed after the two saints from the West came to the underworld.

At this time, there were three auras of the same level as theirs in the underworld. The deepest and most terrifying aura in the deepest part of the underworld was undoubtedly the real Hou Tu who was in harmony with the Tao.

And the aura in the center of the underworld should be that of a person, Dijiang, who supports the earth.

The last breath is near the Sansheng Stone, and this breath is most likely from Empress Pingxin.

"Brother, let me go first!"

Jie Yin nodded, and Zhunti stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Zunti from the Western Sect has come to visit fellow Taoist Pingxin. I hope you can show yourself and see me."

"I'm busy. No see you!" The voice of Empress Pingxin sounded immediately.

Zhunti's expression froze when he heard this. This was too disrespectful! He was a saint after all! How could an incarnation of Hou Tu dare to be so arrogant?
Then a six-foot-tall golden body appeared behind Zhunti, and Buddha's light shone everywhere. All of a sudden, the souls in the underworld were affected by the Buddha's light and began to howl like ghosts.

“I hope fellow Taoist will come out and see us, and don’t make things difficult for us.” After saying this, the Buddha’s light behind Zhunti became even brighter, and a large number of souls seemed to be forcibly converted.

"You want to die, I'll help you!" After saying that, a stream of magic power from a saint surged out from the side of the Three Lives Stone. This magic power transformed into a purple chain of order and came straight towards Zhunti.

Seeing this, Zhunti was not at all afraid. He put his hands together and urged his six-foot-tall golden body to resist the attack of Niangniang Pingxin. He really felt that Houtu's incarnation could not do anything to him.

"Bang~" The chain of order collided with the six-foot-tall golden body of Zhunti.

Zhunti, who was full of confidence just now, suddenly changed his expression because cracks had appeared on his six-foot-tall golden body.

"How is this possible!" Zhunti couldn't help but exclaimed.

Jie Yin, who was standing by, was also startled. Obviously, he did not expect that Niang Pingxin's casual attack would have such a strong power.

Is Pingxin really an incarnation of Hou Tu?

In fact, Niangniang Pingxin is indeed the incarnation of Niangniang Houtu, but she is not just an incarnation. She is the incarnation of Niangniang Houtu's reincarnation mark combined with the Avenue of Reincarnation. Since she is the incarnation of the Avenue of Reincarnation, it means that Niangniang Pingxin has the ability to control reincarnation.

In the underworld, Niangniang Pingxin, who can use the power of reincarnation to fight the enemy, is not someone that Zhunti can challenge.

Seeing Zhunti suffer, Jie Yin did not dare to say anything more and quickly apologized: "Fellow Daoist Pingxin, please calm down. My junior brother is just worried about my disciples of the Western Sect. Please do not blame me for any offense."

"You don't think that after your fellow disciples went wild in my underworld, you can just get away with it with just these two sentences?" Niangniang Pingxin asked in a calm tone.

"Of course that's not possible. Fellow Daoist Pingxin, please feel free to put forward any conditions. As long as you can release my Western Sect's disciples, we will try our best to meet them."

After hearing Jie Yin's words, Lady Ping Xin smiled and said, "Then I won't be polite. I originally planned to let you, the disciples of the Western Sect, work for me in the underworld for a thousand years to atone for your sins. Now that you say so, then I'll add another thousand years!"

Jie Yin's expression froze. Many of the Western Religion's disciples were forcibly converted by their fellow disciples. If they really stayed in the underworld for two thousand years, how many disciples of the Western Religion would be left?

Besides, they originally came here to pick up the disciples of the Western Religion. If they return empty-handed, they would really lose face and dignity.

Thinking of this, Jie Yin gritted his teeth and decided to borrow the power of Heaven. He would not let his disciples stay in the underworld at any cost.

At this moment, the voice of Tiandao Hongjun suddenly sounded: "Fellow Daoist Hou Tu, the Western Cult came here to help build the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array under the order of this poor Daoist. I think there must be some misunderstanding between the two sides if they are fighting. How about giving this poor Daoist some face and calling it a day?"

Now that Hongjun has shown up, the two Western saints can finally feel relieved.

When facing Hongjun, Empress Pingxin was indeed a little scared and could only awaken her original body since their identities were equal.

After a moment, Hou Tu's voice came from the depths of the underworld: "Daoyou, you are wrong. Regardless of whether the Western religion came to destroy the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array or to help build it, their biggest mistake was to come to our underworld without permission and show off their power. Since they have made a mistake, they should be punished. This is only natural."
