Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 255: Heaven's Plan, Wen Zhong Becomes a Disciple

"When the enemy comes, we will fight back with our generals; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. Whatever tricks Tiandao Hongjun throws out, we will just have to crack and deal with them one by one." Bai Jing said in a calm tone.

“That’s what he said, but Tiandao Hongjun must know the relationship between the Divine Dao, the Human Dao and the Holy Lotus Sect, and he also knows that we will advance and retreat together. Right now, our combined strength has surpassed Tiandao Hongjun. Under this premise, he still dares to launch the Conferred God Tribulation. It’s not that simple no matter how you think about it.” said Queen Houtu.

"I think so too." Nuwa echoed.

"It's okay. As I said before, if an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops. If a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Both Daoists have said that our strength is now above that of Tiandao Hongjun. So what is there to fear?
If the saint goes down directly, we can just push him all the way and blow him up, but Tiandao Hongjun will most likely not let the saint go down directly."

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, what you mean is that Tiandao Hongjun wants to use the Hongmeng Purple Qi to lure out some ancient powers, and use the ancient powers to weaken the human way and the Holy Lotus Sect?"

Bai Jing nodded, agreeing with Nuwa's words.

"I can understand using the ancient powers to weaken the Holy Lotus Sect, but how do you weaken humanity?" asked Queen Hou Tu.

"The easiest way is to make the Emperor submit to the Heavenly Court."

Hou Tu and Nuwa were shocked when they heard this. If the Human Emperor really submitted to the Heaven, the Heavenly Way would naturally overwhelm the Human Way. Not only would the luck of the Human Way be lost in large quantities, it would even backfire on Nuwa.

"Brother Daoist Bai Jing, aren't you exaggerating a bit? Although the current Xia Dynasty monarch is not a great talent, he will not do such a stupid thing as to submit to the Heavenly Court, right?"

"A normal emperor would definitely not do that, but what if he was supported by the forces of the Heavenly Dao?"

Nuwa suddenly understood what was going on after hearing this. She counted with her fingers, and the previously chaotic secrets of the world became much clearer after Bai Jing's guidance. Nuwa also understood the cause and effect.

"No wonder Tiandao Hongjun wanted to make a deification. It turns out this is his idea."

“So the subsequent Conferred God Tribulation will be a battle between the dynasty to which the Human Emperor belongs and the puppets supported by Heavenly Dao Hongjun, right?” asked Houtu, who had also calculated something.

"That's right. What we have to do is to help the Human Emperor quell the rebellion, and our opponents are the ancient powerful beings who intend to obtain the Hongmeng Purple Qi, as well as the Chan Sect, the Western Sect, and possibly Laozi's Taoism." Bai Jing said.

"Laozi? Will he be involved in this?"

"There are some things that he can't avoid just because he wants to. He is a saint of heaven. Unless he abandons his sainthood, he can't escape heaven's way."

"What about Tongtian Jiejiao?"

"The Jie Sect is also the one that Tiandao Hongjun wants to wipe out. The teachings of the Jie Sect are contrary to Tiandao Hongjun's will, and Tongtian has already mastered 95% of the great sword path he created, which means that Tongtian has the possibility of transcendence.

If Jiejiao were allowed to grow further, with the luck of the largest sect in the prehistoric world, Tongtian might really become the first creature in the prehistoric world to create his own path.

By then Tongtian will be able to cut off his own sainthood, and with the great sword path he created, he will be able to attain the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, and transcendence from then on.

Moreover, once Tongtian proves his Dao with the Great Dao of the Sword, the merit of Creation that had previously promoted the fusion of the three corpses will return to his body. With the merit of Creation, Tiandao Hongjun will not be able to expel Tongtian from the prehistoric world. This is something Tiandao Hongjun absolutely does not want to see, so Jiejiao is also in danger. "

"So that's how it is. In this case, Jiejiao is our natural ally," said Nuwa.

"That's right, but the disciples of Jiejiao are mixed. Although a group of people with bad intentions who wantonly slaughtered lives in the name of Jiejiao were expelled before, the remaining disciples are not all good. There are many disciples in Jiejiao who deserve to be on the list."

After listening to Bai Jing's words, Nuwa nodded and said nothing more.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, is there anything you need us to do this time?"

"Please ask Brother Hou Tu to call back your brothers and sisters! When everything is settled, I will need Brother Hou Tu to set up the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation again."

"I see. I'll call them back right away."

Bai Jing smiled and said "good".

Jin Ling received the order from Master Tongtian and temporarily took charge of the arrangements for the Conferred God Conferment.

However, at this time, the calamity of the Conferred Gods had already begun, and the destiny was in chaos, so the method of calculation was no longer useful.

In desperation, Jin Ling could only summon the outer disciples of Jiejiao and ask them if they knew the whereabouts of the disciples who had been expelled from Jiejiao before.

As Jin Ling expected, many of these outer disciples were connected to the disciples who were expelled from Jiejiao. Jin Ling got the whereabouts of the disciples who were expelled from Jiejiao from them and went to investigate one by one.

Jin Ling was taught personally by Tongtian, so naturally he agreed with the teachings of Jiejiao from the bottom of his heart.

Jin Ling wanted these disciples to fill in the list, but she did not do it across the board. She left these disciples a glimmer of hope. If they reformed after being expelled from Jiejiao, Jin Ling would cross out their names.

If you still behave like that, then put yourself on the list directly!

Facts have proved that the saying "It is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature" is not just talk.

Jin Ling spent a hundred years and confirmed that among the more than 3000 disciples who were expelled from Jiejiao, only less than a hundred of them had truly reformed. They no longer slaughtered living beings wantonly, but instead cultivated their character and devoted themselves to practice.

The remaining disciples were still the same, but now without the protection of the title of Jiejiao disciples, they no longer dared to slaughter living creatures without scruples as before. Instead, they chose more gentle means, either directly keeping the human race in a big city or moving to another place after each shot.

For such disciples, Jin Ling directly sentenced them to death.

"Finally, there is only one person left!" Jin Ling sighed, then tore through the space and came to Tongzhou in the south of the Xia Dynasty.

As soon as he arrived over Tongzhou, Jin Ling could not help but frowning, because the officials of Tongzhou were driving a row of 10 mortal women and sending them to the deep mountains, under the pretext of worshiping the mountain god and praying for good weather.

These 10 mortal women were all around 15 or 6 years old. Each of them had a sad face, and it was obvious that they were not willing to be sacrificed.

"Another one who pretends to be a god and keeps humans in captivity. Damn it!" After saying that, Jin Ling was about to rescue these human girls.

However, what Jin Ling did not expect was that when she was about to attack, a boy who was also 15 or 6 years old rushed over from a distance.

This young man had a handsome face and a strong body. There was a faint horizontal mark between his eyebrows, like an unopened eye, mysterious and unfathomable.

Jin Ling felt a thrill in his heart as soon as he saw the young man. The last time he felt this way was when he accepted Yu Yuan as his disciple.

"Could it be that this young man and I have a master-disciple relationship?" Thinking of this, Jin Ling subconsciously began to calculate with his fingers.

Unfortunately, everything was in chaos at that time, and Jin Ling couldn't figure out anything.

While Jin Ling was calculating, the young man had already rushed into the crowd, knocked down all the officers escorting the mortal women, and rescued the 10 mortal women.

The young man untied the ropes on them, then took the hand of one of the mortal women and ran away. The golden spirit in the air saw this scene and raised his mouth slightly: "It turns out that he is a hero saving a beauty, that's all! Since we have met, he and I should have a master-disciple relationship, so I might as well accept him!"

The young man escorted the mortal girl all the way to Dongling City, 300 miles away from Tongzhou City, where the mortal girl's grandparents lived.

Jin Ling also got to know the young man a little through their conversation along the way.

This young man was also a pitiful man. Because of the strange mark between his eyebrows, he was abandoned by his parents. He had no idea who his parents were since he was a child. He only remembered that his name was Erlang.

Erlang has been wandering since he was a child. After going through many years of ups and downs, he has seen the ups and downs of the world and tasted all the sufferings of the world. Later, he met a martial arts master by chance and embarked on the road of martial arts.

The so-called martial arts was actually originally a method of physical fitness created by Fuxi for the human race who had no talent for cultivating immortals, based on the "Human Ancestor Classic".

Later, after years of inheritance and improvement, it eventually developed into a martial art that focused on tempering qi and blood.

When martial arts are cultivated to the extreme, one can have power comparable to that of a cultivator who has reached the state of Lianxu Hedao.

Erlang's master is a strange man with great martial arts skills, who teaches him all his skills.

Erlang is also a genius. At the age of 15, he has already cultivated his qi and blood to a level comparable to that of a cultivator who has refined his spirit and turned into emptiness. In Tongzhou, no one can defeat him.

Erlang loves to stand up for the weak and enjoys making friends with heroes. When he sees injustice, he will draw his sword to help.

The reason why these mortal women were saved this time was because Erlang received favor from the parents of one of the mortal women.

Since Erlang is so loyal and talented, the Golden Spirit Mother naturally likes him very much.

So she decided to accept Erlang as her disciple, but since the Tao could not be taught personally, the Golden Spirit Mother decided to test Erlang first.

After Erlang sent the mortal woman to her grandfather's house, the old man first thanked Erlang, and then said seriously: "Erlang, I know you have extraordinary skills, but the mountain god you worship in Tongzhou is not an ordinary person. He was once a disciple of Jiejiao and received the Shangqing magic from the saint.

Later, he was expelled from the sect because of his perverse behavior and wanton slaughter of mortals. Erlang, you are not capable enough to deal with immortals, so why don't you stay in Dongling City!"

Jilang hesitated and chose to refuse.

The old man sighed and continued, "Since Erlang is unwilling to stay in my Dongling City, why don't you go find an immortal to learn magical powers! With your qualifications, Erlang, you will definitely be accepted as a disciple by an immortal."

"Looking for immortals? Do you know where the immortals are?" Erlang asked excitedly.

"When I was young, I heard that 30,000 miles east of here, there is a fairy mountain called Wendao Mountain, where fairies live."

Erlang's eyes lit up. After bidding farewell to his father-in-law, he went to the market in Dongling City. He planned to buy some food and go looking for immortals.

The market was bustling with people coming and going. Erlang quickly bought some dry food. Just as his potential customer was leaving, Erlang suddenly saw an old woman carrying a basket and sighing on the side of the road.

Erlang went forward to ask and learned that the old woman lived alone outside the city and usually made a living by making shoes and selling them at the market. Today, on the way home, she accidentally sprained her ankle and could not walk, so she could only sigh.

Erlang said without hesitation: "Old woman, I just need to leave the city. I'll carry you there!"

"How embarrassing is this!"

"It's okay! They're all small matters." After saying that, Erlang carried the old woman on his back and walked out of the city.

Along the way, the old woman told her story. It turned out that she had a good time when she was young, but her fate was unfortunate, her children and husband all died before her, and now she is alone.

When we arrived at the old woman's house, we saw only a simple thatched hut with no other valuable belongings.

Erlang put the old woman down and prepared to leave. The old woman handed Erlang a pair of shoes, saying that she was 82 years old and made these shoes herself, and hoped that Erlang would not mind accepting her gift.

Erlang had no choice but to quietly put the silver on the table and leave.

Erlang didn't know that not long after he left, the old woman picked up the silver on the table with admiration in her eyes, and the next second the old woman and her thatched hut disappeared.

After Erlang left the old woman's house, he walked for more than a month, passing through several big cities and countless small villages. During this time, Erlang also asked about the fairy mountain, but no one knew about it. However, Erlang did not give up and continued to walk in the direction his father-in-law said.

On that day, the sun was scorching and the earth seemed to be baking hot. Erlang was taking a cool under a big tree on a hillside when he suddenly heard a noise in front of him. He went over to take a look and saw more than a dozen bandits surrounding four or five vendors selling dates and robbing them.

Erlang hated this kind of bullying the weak the most in his life, so he shouted and jumped out.

The bandits saw the young man and ignored him. How could they know Erlang's strength? How could a mere bandit be Erlang's opponent?

Erlang's body was as fast as lightning and his fists and feet were as quick as the wind. He beat the bandits so badly that they pissed themselves in fear and fled for their lives.

Those vendors came to thank him, but Erlang waved his hand nonchalantly and told them to leave quickly to prevent the bandits from attacking again.

The peddler thanked Erlang profusely and gave him a bag of dates. Erlang didn't like dates, but he couldn't refuse, so he accepted it.

After traveling for several more months, Erlang finally found out that Wendao Mountain was not far away.

Erlang was so excited that he walked down the mountain in one breath. By then it was already dark and he definitely couldn't go up the mountain.

Erlang planned to find a store to stay for one night and go up the mountain to learn from his master tomorrow. However, there were only households around, and no stores.

In desperation, he had to find a random farmhouse and pay the rent as required.

There was a 28-year-old peasant girl in that farmhouse, who was extremely beautiful. When she saw Erlang's appearance, she was very pleased and wanted to marry him.

The farmer was also very satisfied with Erlang, so he prepared some wine and food, went to the boy's room, and told him his intention.

Erlang refused without a second thought: "Thank you for your kindness, uncle, but I only want to ask for the truth, not for the love affair, so please don't force me."

The farmer had no choice but to leave.

Before dawn the next day, Erlang put down the silver and left quietly.

Not long after Erlang left, the house where he stayed also disappeared.

Afterwards, Erlang began to climb Wendao Mountain. There were strong winds and heavy rain along the way, but these could not stop Erlang. Until Erlang climbed to the top of the mountain, the wind and rain stopped suddenly. Jin Ling looked at the panting Erlang with satisfaction in his eyes.
