Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 178 Zixiao Palace discusses the protagonist of heaven and earth
On this day, Bai Jing came to the underworld. After a hundred years of reincarnation, only a few wisps of the purest origin remained of the half-remaining body of the Time Demon.

Empress Pingxin took these origins out of the six realms of reincarnation and gave them to Bai Jing.

As Bai Jing's mind moved, chaotic divine fire emerged around his body. Pieces of rare treasures were melted and finally condensed into a disc together with these origins.

As the disc was refined, a large amount of merit fell from the sky.

Empress Pingxin was startled. She looked at the disc in Bai Jing's hand with curiosity, obviously not understanding why this thing could attract merits from heaven.

When the merits were absorbed by the disc, two innate divine characters appeared on the disc: "Corona".

"Corona? What is this?" Empress Pingxin came over and asked.

"A time-keeping device."

"Timekeeping?"

"Yes, Pingxin, do you know how many hours there are in a day?"

"Twelve hours! This was destined after Father God created the world."

"This corona lets people know what time it is."

"I see, but this doesn't make any sense!"

"Not now, but there will be later!"

"What are you planning?" asked Empress Pingxin.

"You will know it in the future. Let me talk about this corona first! Since it is made from the essence of the Chaos Demon God, it is not among the acquired spiritual treasures, but belongs to the category of innate spiritual treasures. However, there is no innate restriction in it, so it is an innate treasure like the Falling Treasure Money.

Driving the Falling Treasure Money does not require mana, only luck is enough. Driving the Sun Corona also does not require mana, only the user's practice time is needed. In other words, it will devour the user's practice. The more practice it devours, the greater its power will be. "

"What can it do?"

"It can do everything that the Avenue of Time can do. It can stop time, speed up time, reverse time, and deprive a person of time. As long as you put in enough practice, even a saint can be influenced."

"I see. This item is very suitable for my second brother."

"That's right. You Wu clan don't have a soul, so you can't refine spiritual treasures, and naturally you can't exert the power of ordinary spiritual treasures. But this thing doesn't need to be refined. Just let him devour the Taoism."

"Then I would like to thank Fellow Daoist Bai Jing on behalf of my second brother." After saying this, Empress Pingxin bowed to Bai Jing.

Bai Jing smiled and nodded, then turned and left the underworld.

After Bai Jing returned to Yingzhou Fairy Island, he did not go into seclusion, but called the Three Xiaos instead.

"The situation in the Heavenly Palace has stabilized. Bixiao, you have obtained the title of Qinghua Emperor. Yunxiao and Qiongxiao have also obtained the title of Suishi Ganxiang Xiannu. Today, I plan to help you refine an avatar. This avatar will take your place in the Heavenly Palace so that your original body will have time to practice."

"Master, may I ask how to refine the incarnation?" Yunxiao, the eldest sister, asked.

"When I fought with the saint Jie Yin of the Western religion before, I was quite interested in his ability to attain enlightenment in dreams, so I pondered and created my own method of attaining enlightenment in dreams. Now I will teach you this method. If you practice well, you should be able to condense your own incarnation within a thousand years. Then I will use the Great Dao of Creation to shape your body, and the incarnation will be complete."

The three sisters were overjoyed when they heard this. With this incarnation, it became a lot more convenient for them.

"Yunxiao, your senior brother brought back Daoist Fellow Hongyun's spiritual treasure. There was a wisp of Daoist Fellow Hongyun's soul on it. Do you have any insights into it?" Bai Jing asked, changing the subject.

"In reply to Master, I have learned many magical skills from Senior Hongyun's spirit, and I have begun to practice now."

"In this case, you and fellow Daoist Hongyun have become a master and disciple. Yunxiao, don't rush to practice and attain enlightenment in dreams. Go to Wuzhuang Temple first! Since you have learned his magical powers, you should at least become his registered disciple."

"It's Master."

"When you go, take these two things to Fellow Daoist Hongyun. You are my disciple, and you have learned the magical powers from Fellow Daoist Hongyun. I should also show my appreciation." After saying that, Bai Jing raised his hand and pointed to a branch of the Wudao tea tree and a jade slip, which appeared in front of Yunxiao.

Yunxiao picked up the branch and the jade slip, bowed to Bai Jing, then turned and left Yingzhou Fairy Island.

A few days later, Yunxiao arrived at Wuzhuang Temple.

During this period of time, Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun had actually been waiting for someone from Bai Jing's side. Before the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array was set up, Kong Xuan came to Wuzhuang Temple and handed Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun a jade slip, which stated that if Tiandao personally took action against the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array, Zhen Yuanzi would take the opportunity to establish a lineage of earth immortals.

Bai Jing will take advantage of the opportunity of Heaven's move and, at the cost of his own clone's self-destruction, forcibly blast out a piece of space in the prehistoric world where Heaven's move cannot interfere, and let Hong Yun evolve earth, fire, water and wind in this space, thus opening up the world of earthly immortals.

As a result, Heavenly Dao did not take direct action this time, but only asked the saints to block the arrangement of the Holy Lotus Purifying World Array. Bai Jing did not take such an extreme approach to weaken the authority of Heavenly Dao.

After all, once the incarnation of enlightenment in the dream is destroyed, it is gone, and there is no way to condense a second one.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Bai Jing didn't want to let his clone self-destruct.

Returning his sight to Wuzhuang Temple, Hongyun immediately stopped practicing when he learned that Yunxiao came to interview him. He was very interested in this younger generation mentioned by Kong Xuan, who was also incarnated as a cloud like him, but had extraordinary comprehension.

After seeing Yunxiao, Hongyun was even more envious. This child had actually comprehended his magical powers. He was truly the most suitable person to inherit his mantle.

It’s a pity that Yunxiao already has a master!
When Zhen Yuanzi first saw Yunxiao, he felt very close to him, as if he had met his own nephew.

The feeling Yunxiao gave him was very similar to that Hongyun gave him, which made Zhen Yuanzi feel sorry for his old friend.

After meeting the two seniors, Yunxiao bowed very respectfully, then took out the things Bai Jing gave her and handed them to Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun.

The two of them had obtained a branch of the Wudao tea tree from Bai Jing before, so they naturally understood the magic of this thing. This branch was also useful even to a saint, so such a treasure would definitely be accepted by everyone.

After putting away the branches of the enlightenment tea tree, Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun read the contents of the jade slip together.

“Fellow Daoist Hongyun, Fellow Daoist Zhenyuanzi, I am glad to see you in person. I have told you two before that if the Heavenly Dao himself takes action when setting up the Holy Lotus Purifying World Formation, I will create an opportunity for you two to open up the Earthly Immortal Realm.

But this time, the Heavenly Dao did not take action, so the plan was temporarily canceled. The two Taoist friends should be patient, and when the opportunity comes later, the Earthly Immortal Realm can be opened up.

Furthermore, Yunxiao has learned many magical powers from Daoist Hongyun, so we are now master and disciple. I want her to worship Daoist Hongyun as her master. If Daoist Hongyun is willing, he can accept her as a nominal disciple. This branch of the Enlightenment Tea Tree can be regarded as a gift for worshiping her master."

After reading the contents of Bai Jing's jade slip, Zhen Yuanzi sighed. He thought that Hong Yun would be able to attain enlightenment this time, but he didn't expect that the time was still not right.

Hong Yun understood Zhen Yuanzi's thoughts, and he sent a message to Zhen Yuanzi: "Brother, don't be sad. I can achieve enlightenment at any time. It's just a matter of time!"

"I don't want to burden you. If there was no need to open up the Earthly Immortal Realm, I'm afraid you would have already become a saint."

"Brothers, let's not talk about this! If you can't achieve enlightenment and become a saint, there's no fun in me becoming a saint alone."

After saying this, Hong Yun no longer paid attention to Zhen Yuanzi, but looked at Yun Xiao and said, "Yun Xiao, since you have comprehended my magical powers, you are my successor. However, you have already practiced the Dao of Taoist Bai Jing and cannot inherit my Dao. So I will accept you as a nominal disciple! Are you willing?"

"Disciple is willing. Disciple Yunxiao greets the teacher." After saying this, Yunxiao performed the ceremony of bowing three times and kowtow nine times to Hongyun.

Hongyun nodded with satisfaction and reached out to help Yunxiao up.

Afterwards, Hongyun kept Yunxiao for a while, broke down his magical powers and explained them to Yunxiao.

Yunxiao already had amazing comprehension, and with Hongyun teaching him everything he knew, his combat power could be said to be improving by leaps and bounds.

Today, Yunxiao Daluo is invincible. Even when facing cultivators who have just entered the realm of Quasi-Saint, he can fight against them with the power of his supernatural powers.

Three hundred years later, Yunxiao returned to the fairy island of Yingzhou and began to practice the magical power of attaining enlightenment in dreams.

Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao began to practice this magical power three hundred years ago. It is worth mentioning that more than 200 years ago, Xuan Yu stepped down as the leader of the human race and returned to Yingzhou Fairy Island. Since then, the human race has entered a new era.

Since the Lich Catastrophe, various races have emerged in the ancient world, competing with each other and displaying their magical powers in this vast and unknown ancient land.

After years of difficult development, the human race has gradually got on the right track. At first, the human race was like a fragile seedling, swaying in the wind and rain in this primitive land full of unknowns and dangers.

They are weak and frail, and often seem powerless in the face of countless powerful monsters and harsh environments in the prehistoric world. A random roar from those huge and powerful prehistoric monsters could plunge the entire human tribe into panic; and the unpredictable natural disasters, such as strong winds, heavy rains, and floods, ruthlessly destroy their homes.

Fortunately, however, the human race received support from the two saints, Bai Jing and Nuwa, as well as leaders like the three human ancestors and Xuanyu who devoted everything to the development of the human race and were willing to sacrifice their lives. This allowed the human race to gradually learn how to survive in this dangerous land.

Today, the human race has taken the lead in the world with the help of the Holy Lotus Purifying Array, and has also gained a certain status in the ancient world.

Apart from the two ancestral lands of the human race, Shouyang Mountain and the shores of the East China Sea, humans in other places have also begun to gain a certain amount of power and are able to contend with many monsters.

Relying on tenacious vitality and indomitable spirit, the human race has reproduced and thrived from generation to generation, and the areas covered by the human race have become increasingly wider, almost covering the entire primitive land.

As a congenital human, Xuanyu has been the leader of the human race since its birth. He has done a very good job and the people of the human race have great faith in him.

But now the human race is dominated by the acquired humans, and they are the backbone of the human race. Xuanyu, a congenital human, is no longer suitable to be the leader of the human race. It is the best choice for him to step down at this time.

Therefore, neither the three ancestors of the human race nor the other powerful people of the human race tried to keep Xuanyu.

After Xuanyu stepped down from the position of leader of the human race, he felt as if a huge rock had finally fallen from his heart. He immediately went to Yingzhou Fairy Island to pay homage to his master.

Although Xuanyu was the last of Bai Jing's seven direct disciples to join, his cultivation was comparable to Kong Xuan's, both were in the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.

The method that Xuanyu practiced before was given to the human race by Bai Jing. Now he can naturally switch to practicing "The True Explanation of White Lotus Hunyuan" seamlessly.

Bai Jing also taught Xuanyu some magical skills and let Xuanyu go into seclusion.

Kong Xuan and Yu Ding left Yingzhou Fairy Island a hundred years ago to travel.

One of these two is in the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, and the other is in the late stage of Daluo Golden Immortal. They are considered good masters in the prehistoric world. Apart from the old monsters who survived the previous kalpas, they are among the strongest in the new generation.

The direct disciples of other saints' sects, whether it is Xuandu of Taoism, Guangchengzi of the Chan sect, or Duobao of the Jie sect, are no match for Kong Xuan, and their cultivation levels are also far behind Kong Xuan.

Yu Ding's cultivation level is similar to that of Xuan Du and Guang Chengzi, but if a real fight breaks out, the two are definitely no match for Yu Ding.

Duobao also shared the merits of the Holy Lotus Purifying Array. His cultivation has reached the peak of the Golden Immortal, one small realm higher than Yuding. He also has a top-grade innate spiritual treasure in his hand, so he should be able to slightly suppress Yuding.

Therefore, Bai Jing felt very relieved when the two of them went out to gain experience.

On this day, when Bai Jing was consolidating his own realm, an imperial decree suddenly came from the Zixiao Palace. The Taoist Hongjun invited Houtu, Bai Jing and the Six Saints of Heaven to gather in the Zixiao Palace to discuss important matters.

Following the Taoist's order, the Six Saints dared not delay and immediately left Honghuang and rushed to Zixiao Palace.

Hou Tu was in the process of merging with the Dao, and Niangniang Pingxin would only have the strength of a peak quasi-saint once she came out of the underworld, so the underworld would definitely not send anyone over. Naturally, this matter fell on Bai Jing's head.

Bai Jing also guessed why Hongjun summoned all the saints to the Zixiao Palace at this time. It was most likely to discuss the matter of the protagonist of heaven and earth, and Bai Jing naturally would not miss it.

In the Heaven Beyond Heaven, in front of the gate of Zixiao Palace, among all the invited saints, Nuwa was the first to arrive. Since it was related to the human race and her brother, it was normal for Nuwa to come first.

Nuwa waited for a long time before Yuanshi Tianzun arrived. After the two greeted each other, no one said much.

The next one to come was Laozi, followed closely by Bai Jing and Tongtian.

Finally, the two saints from the West arrived late, wearing tattered Taoist robes.

"My fellow Taoists, I'm so sorry that we are late again." The two saints from the West looked apologetic.

"Could it be that you two fellow Taoists have gone to my East to convert disciples again?" Tongtian asked unhappily.

The Two Saints of the West are habitual offenders in this regard. All the acquired creatures who have listened to Laozi's Taoism, the registered disciples of the Jiejiao, and the acquired creatures of the human race who are quite talented have been secretly converted to the West by the Two Saints of the West.

The two Western Saints did not change their expressions or hearts when they heard this, and said shamelessly: "Fellow Daoist Tongtian, you are wrong. My brother and I did not do anything. We just told these people about the great way of my Western religion, and they voluntarily joined my Western religion."

Hearing Zhunti's shameless sophistry, all the saints present showed disdain on their faces, and Tongtian even snorted coldly and stopped talking.

After a while, the gate of Zixiao Palace opened and the saints walked into it.

"Greetings, teacher." The Six Saints of Heaven bowed down to Hongjun who was sitting on the cushion.

Bai Jing bowed and sat down.

Hongjun glanced at Bai Jing, then turned to his disciples and said, "Everyone, get up."

As the eldest brother of the Six Saints, Laozi was the first to ask Hongjun's call: "I wonder why the teacher summoned us?"

Hongjun said expressionlessly: "Thousands of years have passed since the great calamity of the witches and liches. The Heavenly Court is operating, stabilizing the four poles of the Zhoutian. The prehistoric world is flourishing, and a protagonist of the Heavenly Dao will be born."

"The protagonist of heaven and earth?" The saints breathed faster when they heard this. The dragon, phoenix and unicorn tribes in the Longhan period, and the witch and demon tribes in the Lich Age, they fought to the death, wasn't it just for the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth?
These races at that time did have the hope of becoming the protagonists of heaven and earth, but unfortunately they ultimately failed. The Witch Clan, which had the most hope of success, also gave up its position as the protagonist of heaven and earth because they opened up the land.

And now the position of the protagonist of the world has fallen to the human race, which is something most living beings never expected.

But then again, although the protagonist of heaven and earth has been determined, the Heavenly Dao has not officially recognized it, so Laozi stood up again and bowed and asked: "Teacher, among the myriad races in the prehistoric world, who can be the protagonist of heaven and earth?"

"The human race, with its everlasting self-improvement and boundless potential, can become the protagonists of the world." Hongjun's voice, like the sound of a huge bell, resounded throughout the Zixiao Palace.

Upon hearing this, all the saints showed expressions of "as expected".

It can be said that the human race made great contributions to the completion of the Holy Lotus Purifying Array, and as a result, it has been allocated a huge amount of luck and merit. It would be strange if the human race did not become the protagonist of heaven and earth.

The saints naturally knew that the four words "protagonist of heaven and earth" meant enormous merits, and even if they could get a little bit of it, they could get countless benefits.

Taoism, the Orthodox school, the Jie school, and the Western school are all thinking about sending people to preach to the human race.

Hongjun ignored the six saints' thoughts and continued, "The witches and liches have retreated, and today's destiny has emerged. The human race created by Nuwa should be the protagonist of the new world after the witches and liches. However, the human race is weak, and it will take time to prosper. Therefore, we saints should teach the human race and establish the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to rule the world. In this way, the human race will prosper.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors represent the supreme position of humanity. You can be their teachers and help them return to the throne."

Hongjun paused, and then continued meaningfully: "The human race is flourishing, and the treasure of humanity has been born. Whoever holds the treasure of humanity can decide who will be the teacher of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

Upon hearing this, Zhunti immediately asked, "Teacher, may I ask, who holds the treasure of humanity?"

Hongjun shook his head and said, "The treasure of humanity cannot be predicted by the way of heaven, and I don't know where it is. The only thing I can confirm is that the treasure of humanity has appeared in the world. You can look for it by yourselves."

After saying this, Hongjun waved his hand casually, and a strong Taoist aura swept across, sending all the saints out of Zixiao Palace.

This time, the Six Saints of Heaven still failed to see through the mystery of Hongjun's move, but Bai Jing had some understanding. Hongjun's move had some similarities with the Tao rhyme contained in the second axe mark of the great god Pangu.

Outside the Zixiao Palace, there was a gleam in the eyes of Zhunti and Jie Yin.

"Brother, the teacher said that whoever teaches the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will gain great merit and become the most precious treasure of humanity. I will definitely take this from the West."

After listening to Zhunti's voice transmission, Jie Yin nodded in agreement. The human race is the protagonist of heaven and earth. Jie Yin is very sure that as long as he takes advantage of this opportunity of the human race's rise, his West will be able to rise, and the rise of the West will not be an empty talk.
