Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 176 Bai Jing Refining the Treasure

"You are right, fellow Taoist. However, the Western Church has the responsibility to educate the creatures in the West, and it cannot be left alone for a day. So I will apologize to you on behalf of the Western Church!" After saying this, Hongjun's mind moved, and a piece of blood-red jade appeared in his hand.

The witches in the underworld, including Hou Tu and Ruoshou, felt a blood connection after seeing the jade.

"This item is a drop of Pangu's blood. I got it accidentally when I was traveling in the prehistoric times. This item should be of great use to the Wu clan. I will use it as an apology in exchange for the freedom of the Western Sect disciples. What do you think, Taoist Hou Tu?"

Hou Tu hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

Although the Father God's heart blood is far less precious than his essence blood, it is also extremely rare. With this drop of heart blood, Jiufeng may be able to go one step further and reach the realm of the ancestor witch.

When Hongjun saw Houtu agreed, he threw the blood jade casually, and the next second the blood jade appeared accurately in the hands of Niangniang Pingxin.

Niangniang Pingxin took the blood jade, and with a thought, she threw all the disciples of the Western Sect out of the underworld.

"Now that the matter here is settled, I will take my leave." After saying this, Hongjun was about to turn around and leave.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

Hearing Hou Tu's request to stay, Hong Jun paused and asked, "Does Daoist friend have anything to say?"

"I heard that when I merged with the Dao, you directly decided on the position of Heavenly Emperor. May I ask why you chose Haotian as Heavenly Emperor? Logically speaking, the Eastern King has been reincarnated now, and at worst there is Ziwei Xingjun as a backup. Isn't it a bit too much of a joke for you to choose Haotian as Heavenly Emperor?"

Hongjun heard this and said calmly: "Although the Duke of the East has been reincarnated, it is unknown how long it will take for him to cultivate to the Daluo state, and it is still unclear whether he can even cultivate to the Daluo state. As for the Purple Star Lord, the responsibility of the Emperor of Heaven is not only to rule the stars, but also to balance yin and yang and manage the gods and immortals in the heavens. The Purple Star Lord does not have the foundation of the emperor's way, so I am afraid it will be difficult for him to rule the people.

On the other hand, Haotian is the incarnation of Shaoyang Qi, and his status is similar to Dongwanggong, Dijun, and Taiyi. He is born with the aura of an emperor, and is the best candidate for the current emperor."

After hearing Hongjun's answer, Hou Tu shook her head and said, "As the saying goes, living in a place changes one's aura, and nurturing changes one's body. Ziwei Xingjun has taken the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, so he has the aura of the Imperial Way accompanying him. It is only a matter of time for him to nurture an Imperial Way body and cultivate the way of the Emperor."

“You are right, fellow Daoist. However, the Heavenly Court can no longer wait for him to develop an imperial body and cultivate the aura of an emperor. After the destruction of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, the prehistoric world is without a master, order is uncertain, all living beings are confused, and killing continues. If this continues, the calamity that just ended may come back again.

Deciding on the Heavenly Emperor as soon as possible can stabilize the prehistoric world and reduce the killing, which is beneficial to both the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao."

"If what you said is true, my brother, Wu Rushou, the ancestor of the Jin race, has the aura of an emperor, and Xuanyu, the leader of the human race, also has the aura of an emperor. The two of them can also become the emperor of heaven. Why don't you consider it?"

"The throne of the Heavenly Emperor belongs to those who are in the Heavenly Dao."

"Fellow Daoist, you are just being obsessed with appearances. The three paths of heaven, earth and man all come from the same source. Although they each have their own responsibilities, they also intersect and blend with each other during their operation. Why should we distinguish them clearly? It is common sense for them to borrow from each other.

Furthermore, strictly speaking, many of the gods in the heaven today are acquired creatures. Acquired creatures belong to the human way. They came from the human way, and they are under the jurisdiction of the heaven only because they bear the power and responsibilities of the heaven. Since acquired creatures can be priests in the heaven, how can the emperor of the earth and the human way not be the emperor of heaven?
Moreover, an important duty of the Earth and Human is to supervise and assist the Heaven. Wouldn't it be better for the Emperor of Earth and Human to supervise and assist the Heaven?"

"You are wrong, my friend. If we follow what you said, the Way of Earth and the Way of Man should be subordinate to the Way of Heaven. This way, they can better assist the Way of Heaven."

"Did you miss the word 'supervision'?"

This time, Hongjun did not answer, but turned around and left the underworld.

Upon seeing this, the two saints from the West hurriedly followed. Their backers had left, so how could they not follow?

Before I knew it, another ten years had passed.

Ten years later, the Holy Lotus Purifying Array only needed the last bit of soul power to operate completely on its own.

Bai Jing flipped his right hand and the Yuanyang Ding appeared in his hand. Then Fuxi's corpse flew out of the cauldron. After he bowed to Bai Jing, he injected everything he had into the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array.

After a while, only a wisp of Fuxi's soul remained. Bai Jing hurriedly used the Sanguan Divine Water to nourish Fuxi's soul, allowing it to continue to grow stronger.

After the Holy Lotus Purifying Array absorbed all the power of Fuxi's corpse, its merits were fulfilled.

The twenty-four immortals at the center of the formation flew out simultaneously.

The next second, auspicious clouds covered the sea of blood, and a huge amount of merit descended from the endless golden clouds. These were the merits bestowed by heaven.

The tunnel was not stingy either. Golden lotuses rose up from the sea of blood, covering half of the sea of blood. As the golden lotuses bloomed, huge merits also poured into the crowd.

The merits bestowed by the laws of heaven and earth are divided into four parts. The largest one accounts for about 40% of all the merits, comparable to the merits of Nuwa when she repaired the sky. The remaining three parts of merit each account for about 20%.

The largest group poured into the human race. The status of the human race soared between heaven and earth, and a huge amount of luck gathered along with it. In just a few breaths of time, the human race took the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth with an unstoppable momentum.

Every member of the human race can clearly feel that the ancient world has become closer to them, and whether it is cultivation or anything else, they can get twice the result with half the effort.

Many human race members broke through the bottleneck and made further progress in their cultivation, including the human race leader Xuanyu.

Before Xuanyu could wait for the merits to be accrued, he naturally broke through to the quasi-saint level. Youchao and Ziyi also made the same breakthrough.

Suiren's cultivation level has not made any breakthroughs and is still in the early stage of quasi-sainthood, but he is not far from a breakthrough.

When Xuanyu achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation, he did as Bai Jing said and cut out a wisp of good corpse that carried the essence of his own soul.

Bai Jing smiled slightly when he saw this. Amid the puzzled gazes of everyone, Bai Jing waved his hand and held Xuanyu's corpse and Fuxi's soul in his palms. Then he took a step forward and arrived in the underworld.

After entering the gates of hell and crossing the Naihe Bridge, under the gaze of Meng Po, who was transformed from the purple lotus seed of reincarnation, Bai Jing bowed and said, "Fellow Daoist Pingxin, can I borrow the Book of Life and Death and the Judge's Pen?"

As soon as Bai Jing finished speaking, the Book of Life and Death appeared out of thin air in his hands.

"Thank you, Taoist friend Pingxin." After saying this, Bai Jing first entered Fuxi's true spirit into the Book of Life and Death, then held the judge's pen in his hand and wrote three bright red ancient characters in the void: "The Way of the World."

The Book of Life and Death immediately sensed something, and a stream of light shot out from the Book of Life and Death. The three bright red characters floating in the air were covered by the light.

Just at this moment, a merit fell from the sky and fell into Fuxi's soul. Fuxi's soul continued to grow stronger and soon recovered to a level similar to when he had just transformed.

This merit was exactly what Fuxi had gained after he helped to complete the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array. As Fuxi was about to be reincarnated, this merit fell on Fuxi first.

"Thank you, Saint!" Fuxi's soul bowed deeply to Bai Jing.

"No need to be polite, just go to reincarnation!" After saying that, Bai Jing waved the Judge's Pen, and a red light came out from the tip of the Pen, which turned into a barrier to wrap Fuxi's soul, and then quickly fled to the reincarnation barrier of the human world and disappeared. "Xuanyu, it's your turn next." Bai Jing said to Xuanyu's good corpse.

"Master, please go ahead and do what you want. I am already prepared."

"Okay! I'll leave my disciple to you, Daoyou Pingxin!"

As soon as Bai Jing finished speaking, Empress Pingxin appeared out of thin air. She raised her hand and pointed at the Avenue of Reincarnation, which acted on Xuanyu's good corpse. Soon, under the influence of the Avenue of Reincarnation, Xuanyu's good corpse was cut off from its original body and turned into a ball of light.

On Xuanyu's real body's side, Xuanyu, who had just broken through to the Quasi-Saint level, turned pale, and his aura quickly dropped back to the peak of Daluo Golden Immortal.

Empress Pingxin took the Judge's Pen and the Book of Life and Death from Bai Jing and used the Avenue of Reincarnation to drive the two magical treasures, sending the ball of light that Xuan Yushan's corpse had transformed into reincarnation as well.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Pingxin."

"A dry thank you doesn't show any sincerity." Empress Pingxin said with a pout.

This was also Bai Jing's first time meeting Empress Pingxin. Hearing Empress Pingxin speaking to him in such a coquettish tone of a little girl, Bai Jing was somewhat not used to it.

"Ahem! I wonder what fellow Daoist Pingxin wants? As long as I have it, I will definitely not be stingy."

"Bai Jing, I heard that you have a family of iron-eating beasts? I really like them. Just give me one."

Hou Tu, who was in the deepest part of the earth, couldn't help but recall when she first transformed and went out for fun, she encountered an iron-eating beast. At that time, she wanted to take it as a mount, but the iron-eating beast was protected by the Yin-Yang Taoist priest, and she couldn't beat him, so she had to give up!

Now that Empress Pingxin had made this request, it was just what she wanted. But when she thought that Empress Pingxin was her younger self, she would not share with anyone, so Hou Tu could not help but said, "I want two! One for her and one for me."

Bai Jing's mouth twitched when he heard this. Aren't you all alone? Are you trying to blackmail my iron-eating beast in various ways?

In the end, Bai Jing still agreed. The main reason was that if he didn't agree, Empress Pingxin would look like she was going to cry in front of him. Who could stand that?
Bai Jing thought of sending a pair of male and female iron-eating beasts over, maybe they could have a child in the future.

After coming out of the underworld, Bai Jing returned to the top of the sea of blood.

When he came back, one of the three balls of merit on the sea of blood fell down.

This group of merit was divided into twenty-four parts, and the largest three parts fell on the three ancestors of the human race. The cultivation of the three ancestors of the human race was instantly raised. Suiren directly broke through to the late quasi-saint stage, Youchao and Ziyi reached the middle quasi-saint stage.

The middle six portions fell to Bai Jing's six direct disciples.

After Kong Xuan gained merit, the aura around him surged, and based on the Five Elements, he broke through to the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

The cultivation of the other disciples also improved a lot.

Yu Ding and Yun Xiao reached the late stage of Daluo Golden Immortal, Gui Ling, Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao all broke through to the middle stage of Daluo Golden Immortal, and were only one step away from the late stage of Daluo Golden Immortal.

The remaining 15 merits fell on the monks guarding the 15 formation centers on the periphery, and their cultivation levels generally improved by one level.

Then another group of merit fell down. This group of merit was divided into nearly ten thousand parts. The largest one was almost the same as the merit obtained by the three ancestors of the human race. This group of merit fell on Xuanyu.

Xuanyu's fallen realm was restored with the nourishment of merit, but this time Xuanyu chose the path of Hunyuan Jinxian, and what he comprehended was the great way of fire.

The remaining merits fell on other human beings and disciples of the Jiejiao.

The last bit of merit fell on Bai Jing.

When Bai Jing saw this, his mind moved, and a large pile of immortal materials and minerals contaminated with chaotic energy appeared around him.

Bai Jing then formed seals with his hands, and a ball of pitch-black flame appeared out of thin air, wrapping up these immortal materials and minerals.

Almost in the blink of an eye, these immortal materials and minerals were melted by the black flames summoned by Bai Jing.

Bai Jing used the magic power of a saint to transform into a pair of large hands, constantly beating the immortal materials and ores that were melted by the flames.

Under Bai Jing's beating, these balls of "liquid" merged perfectly together and kept changing their shape.

Finally, the liquid turned into the shape of a cauldron. Bai Jing made hand seals again, and a series of restrictions were driven into the cauldron.

After all 49 prohibitions were put in place, the shape of the tripod changed again, from the original three-legged tripod to a four-legged one.

Bai Jing nodded with satisfaction. With a thought, the laws of devouring and purification transformed into two chains of order, wrapping around the four-legged tripod.

The innate divine texts of the two avenues were constantly imprinted on the four-legged tripod. At the same time, Bai Jing also injected wisps of mysterious yellow energy collected in the chaos into the four-legged tripod.

Soon the four-legged tripod turned into a square shape. Seeing this, Bai Jing knew that the time had come, and he injected all the huge amount of merit he had accumulated into the four-legged tripod.

With the infusion of merit, the power of the four-legged tripod continued to rise, and almost in an instant it evolved from the initial power comparable to a perfect top-grade innate spiritual treasure with thirty-six prohibitions to a power comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure.

After that, it was out of control and reached the level where it could be on par with the top innate spiritual treasures that had forty-eight innate restrictions.

But Bai Jing was not satisfied with this, as there was still a large amount of merit in the cauldron that had not been digested.

Bai Jing's mind moved, and he took out the small world that he had refined on Fangzhang Island from his body, placed it in the four-legged tripod, and mobilized a huge amount of merit to merge the two.

This small world slowly merged with the Four-legged Tripod. The power of the Four-legged Tripod increased again, and finally crossed the threshold of the best innate spiritual treasure and reached the level of an innate treasure.

At this point, the appearance of the four-legged tripod was officially finalized. Earth, fire, water and wind were flowing on the tripod feet, and the Taoist rhyme of devouring and purifying was intertwined in the tripod body. There was a complete small world inside the tripod.

"Boom~" At the moment when the four-legged tripod was refined, dark clouds gathered and the might of heaven was pervasive. The artificial refining of acquired merit treasures is not tolerated by the way of heaven, so a heavenly calamity will fall.

ps: There are only 4000 words today. I went to the 4S store to pick up the car yesterday, met with the insurance company, and completed the messy procedures. This matter is finally over, and I feel relieved. However, the car needed a major overhaul just half a month after I got it. I feel so sad.
