Chapter 213: Looking at the Qi
Daoxing Tianzun is indeed not as wealthy as Qingxu Daode Tianzun. He doesn't even have a mount and can only float slowly on auspicious clouds.
It took them five or six days to finally reach the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
Upon hearing the news, Jiajing immediately summoned the ceremonial officials to burn incense and candles, and ordered people to sweep the Wanshou Palace spotlessly inside and out, and then sprinkle the collected flower dew on it. Then he called the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun, and with a respectful look on his face, led the three of Daoxing Tianzun into the Wanshou Palace.
He is a Heavenly Lord and is very likely to accept him as a disciple, so he dare not neglect him.
Although Daoxing Tianzun was polite on the surface, saying that there was no need for pomp and ceremony, but after he sat cross-legged in the main hall of the Wanshou Palace, he said solemnly: "Hou Cong, there is no need to be so polite about other things, but you can't be careless about becoming my disciple. If you want to take me as your master, you still have to follow the etiquette of becoming my disciple."
I am the emperor of the mortal world, and you want me to perform the ceremony of becoming your disciple?
Okay, okay, you go and fight that Tongtian Sect, I can just calm down and practice. You can't possibly take away my throne.
Jiajing pretended to be well-behaved and said, "Disciple understands."
Daoxing Tianzun nodded slightly, raised his hand and said, "This is Baiyun Zhenjun, a disciple of Qingxu Daode Tianzun. Your grandson wants to worship Qingxu Daode Tianzun as his master, so I specially helped you to speak to him. Unfortunately, my junior brother is busy and has no time to come. I can only send my disciple Baiyun Zhenjun to teach on my behalf."
Okay, as long as I can learn something, it doesn’t matter who teaches me.
Jiajing still pretended to be well-behaved and said, "Thank you, Master."
Daoxing Tianzun nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you should prepare yourself well and come to become my disciple tomorrow."
Are you here to deal with Chen Jiu or to recruit a disciple?
Jiajing couldn't help but feel puzzled. The two disciples of Daoxing Tianzun were trapped in Jiuling Mountain and there was no news, but he was not in a hurry at all and came here to recruit disciples!
How could he know that Daoxing Tianzun had already calculated that his two disciples were destroyed both physically and spiritually, so there was no point in being anxious.
Besides, the focus of the Hongmeng Sect at the moment is to control the imperial court and gather all the forces in the mortal world to fight a big battle with the Tongtian Sect. Daoxing Tianzun will naturally have to quickly take him and the Crown Prince in.
The ceremony of paying homage to the master at this time is extremely complicated. Not only does one have to prepare gifts for the master, but one also has to do one's best to put on the most grand ceremony, pay homage to the ancestors, pay homage to the master, and wait for the master's scolding.
Fortunately, Jiajing was the emperor of the world, so he didn't have to worry about the pomp and circumstance. He just had to offer his apprenticeship gifts and then bow.
The next morning, at about the hour of Mao, Jiajing and the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun bathed, burned incense, and packed themselves up. They were busy until the hour of Chen, then they took their apprenticeship gifts and rushed to the Wanshou Palace.
By this time, the Wanshou Palace was already decorated with lights and filled with incense. Civil and military officials as well as dukes and nobles had already lined up neatly on both sides of the red carpet outside the hall, waiting to see the emperor.
Jiajing personally went forward first, holding the gift of paying homage to his teacher. Only after he finished paying homage did it come to the turn of the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun.
This time he also spent a lot of money and prepared four rare treasures, two for him and two for the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun, which meant good things come in pairs.
He entered the hall holding the apprenticeship gift, respectfully handed the tray in his hand to his eldest brother Wei Hu, and then walked towards the statue of Hongmeng Patriarch on the shrine in the middle under the guidance of Daoxing Tianzun.
At this moment, the main hall of Wanshou Palace has also changed its appearance. All the previous statues inside have been taken away by Daoxing Tianzun. The shrine in the middle has been replaced with the statue of Hongmeng Patriarch, and on both sides are Hongmeng Patriarch's twelve disciples.
His meaning was very clear. The Imperial Court is now under the control of our Hongmeng Sect. All other evildoers should get out!
Jiajing was too lazy to care about all this. After the ceremonial officer spoke for a while, he gritted his teeth, knelt down, and kowtowed three times respectfully to the statue of Hongmeng Patriarch. Then he stood up and waited for Daoxing Zhenjun to sit down on the left side of the ancestor statue. He waited for the ceremonial officer to speak for a while, and then he gritted his teeth, knelt down, and kowtowed three times respectfully to Daoxing Tianzun.
Daoxing Tianzun actually took out a scroll-like object and said solemnly: "This is the Qiankuntu, the most precious treasure of my Hongmeng Sect. When it is unfolded, it can summon 108 immortal-level yellow-turbaned warriors to protect the body. When it is rolled up, it can trap a strong enemy. You can use it for self-defense."
My God, he actually gave me a treasure!
Jiajing really didn't expect this. He was a little confused, so much so that he didn't pay attention to what Daoxing Tianzun said later.
Isn’t Daoxing Tianzun a poor man? How could he have the Qiankuntu, the most precious treasure of Hongmeng Sect?
In fact, he had to force it on the ancestor Hongmeng.
He had already calculated that what belonged to his disciple was his anyway. He kept asking his master for it, saying that it was a disgrace to the Hongmeng Sect if he accepted an emperor of the mortal world as his disciple but was not even given a decent magic weapon.
Ancestor Hongmeng was cornered and had no choice but to give him the Qiankuntu, which represents the universe.
Jiajing obtained a treasure inexplicably, so it was not too bad to worship this master.
The next one to become the apprentice was the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun.
His master, Qingxu Daode Tianzun, did not come, so he could only ask Baiyun Zhenjun to accept disciples on his behalf. Fortunately, their ancestors were all Hongmeng Patriarch, so they did not have to go to other places to worship the ancestors.
The Crown Prince Zhu Yijun presented his apprenticeship gift, and after a round of prostration, True Lord Baiyun actually bestowed a precious treasure on his master's behalf, the Moye Sword!
This Moye sword is no joke. It is known as the treasure of Qingfeng Mountain. With a flash of the sword, a head will fall to the ground. Killing an immortal is as easy as killing a chicken. If a real person is not careful, he may be cut by the sword light. If a true lord is not careful at all, he may die under the sword.
The Crown Prince Zhu Yijun was so excited to obtain this treasure that if it weren't for the rumor that the Tianzun of Tongtian Sect was in charge of Jiuling Mountain, he would have wanted to run over and kill Chen Jiu.
What's the matter with this Qingxu Daode Tianzun? He actually gave the treasure of the mountain to a disciple he had never met!
In fact, he had also calculated it. If Daoxing Tianzun could calculate it, then naturally he could calculate it too. This Moye sword was just for the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun to play with, and it wouldn't last long.
Jiajing and the Crown Prince Zhu Yijun were all very happy, but Chen Jiu was a little confused.
What’s wrong with this Daoxing Tianzun? He has arrived in the capital, but he doesn’t come out of his lair and doesn’t even come to Jiuling Mountain!
Doesn't this guy care about his two disciples?
He naturally didn't know that Daoxing Tianzun was busy recruiting disciples, and Daoxing Tianzun was not indifferent to his two disciples. Both disciples had destroyed, so what could he do?
After completing the etiquette of becoming a disciple, Daoxing Tianzun began to explain the Five Elements of Heaven to Jiajing in a pretentious manner.
Jiajing originally comprehended the fire element of heaven, and he had already cultivated it into a god, so his comprehension was quite good.
Daoxing Tianzun's cultivation is not fake. He has understood the Five Elements of Heavenly Dao long ago, so it is natural that he is very familiar with it when teaching his disciples.
The two masters and apprentices, one teaching and the other learning, actually forgot the time. It was not until late at night when Daoxing Tianzun said seriously: "This is the end of my explanation of the Five Elements Essence today. You should think carefully about which Heavenly Dao you want to comprehend next. When comprehending the Heavenly Dao, you usually comprehend the Five Elements first, then Yin and Yang, then Qi and blood, life and death, then space, time, then light, darkness, and then chaos.
It is best for you to comprehend in this order, so that you can successfully reach the realm of True Lord, or even the realm of Heavenly Lord."
Jiajing hurriedly said respectfully: "Disciple will follow the master's instructions."
Daoxing Tianzun nodded slightly, and then said solemnly: "Okay, now you can talk to your master about the rebel king Chen Jiu."
How do you say this?
Jiajing thought about it carefully, and then introduced in detail: "I heard from the people below that Chen Jiu was originally a hunter in Lingshan Village, Jimo, Qingzhou. I don't know what kind of magic he practiced, but he actually killed the village god when he was sixteen years old. Then, this boy rose straight up, breaking through the realm of demon king and demon fairy, so that no one could control him. I don't know how many earth immortals died at his hands.
Later, it was rumored that this boy had cultivated to the level of a demon god. It was unknown whether it was true or not. However, this boy did defeat two true gods from Japan and killed the Yamata no Orochi, the true god of Japan."
Is that so?
Daoxing Tianzun asked again: "Are you sure he is from a hunter family?"
Jiajing nodded without hesitation and said, "Disciple has already ordered people to check the tax and labor yellow book. Chen Jiu is indeed a hunter in Lingshan Village. However, it seems that Chen Jiu is not a biological child of the Chen family, but an adopted child."
Daoxing Tianzun heard this and couldn't help but wonder, "Adopted? Where was it adopted from? Why doesn't it seem to be adopted from this world?"
ah!
Jiajing was stunned when he heard this.
How could this Chen Jiu not be from this world?
Then where did his parents adopt him? Can an ordinary hunter leave this world and go to another world to adopt a baby like a being beyond God?
Daoxing Tianzun counted again with his fingers, and finally sighed slightly: "This boy can't calculate anything, it's really puzzling. "
Seeing this, Jiajing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master, is this finger counting arithmetic a secret power? Is it possible to teach it to your disciples?"
Daoxing Tianzun shook his head slightly and said: "You can't learn this for the time being. To calculate this, you need to understand Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, and comprehend the way of life and death. It's useless to teach you now."
It turns out to be so troublesome. No wonder I haven’t seen any earthly immortals know how to do this.
Jiajing thought for a moment, then asked carefully, "Master, how are you going to deal with Chen Jiu?"
You can't just sit there and talk all the time. Can you possibly kill someone by talking?
Daoxing Tianzun heard this and said solemnly: "There may be a large formation set up by Tongtian Sect on Jiuling Mountain. I can't just rush in blindly. Let me observe the aura first to see if I can find any clues."
Jiajing couldn't help but ask curiously, "Reading the Qi? Master, how do you read the Qi?"
You won’t be able to learn this even if I teach you now.
Daoxing Tianzun simply pressed his shoulder and said, "Don't move."
What is this for?
The master told him not to move, so Jiajing naturally did not dare to move.
As a result, he was quickly taken to the nearest observation platform by Daoxing Tianzun.
Daoxing Tianzun stared at the direction of Jiuling Mountain for a while, then closed his eyes and stretched out his spiritual body to a height of two or three hundred miles to observe carefully, then he started pinching his fingers again.
After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed in surprise: "The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation! Such a strong sharp gold energy!"
Jiajing was so shocked that he couldn't help asking, "Master, is the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation a formation formed by tens of thousands of immortals? Where did they get these tens of thousands of immortals from?"
Daoxing Tianzun shook his head slightly and said, "It doesn't necessarily take tens of thousands of immortals to set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. If it really was set up by tens of thousands of immortals, then this Master would not be able to get out even if he entered."
So awesome!
Jiajing couldn't help but ask, "What should we do then?"
Daoxing Tianzun said solemnly, "I will have to send someone back to ask your master how he plans to deal with the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation of the Tongtian Sect."
Since they had already set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, he naturally wouldn't rush over and take the risk.
