Imperial Capital, Suzaku Street.
This is a heavenly street south of the Imperial Palace.
It is called the Heavenly Street not only because it leads directly to the Imperial Palace, and not only because it is a long street as wide as the Milky Way in the sky, but also because it is a major passage for all the heavens and worlds to ascend to the imperial throne of the human race!
Every texture of Suzaku Street is made up of endless rules.
Indescribable truths and principles are interwoven throughout the earth, forming nodes of time and space that shine brightly.
And each of these time and space nodes is connected to a vast universe.
It is no exaggeration to say that the small space under your feet may correspond to a bright star, a vast world, or a dimensional universe.
Mount Sumeru can fit into a mustard seed.
All the gods gather in one street.
After countless immortals and gods in the heavens chose the human race's channel to ascend to the wilderness, they all needed to set foot on Suzaku Street and then go to the Imperial Platform to receive the Taoist scriptures.
The immortals and gods who come and go gather here, which also creates the prosperity of Zhuque Street.
This makes it one of the three major communication platforms in the prehistoric world, on par with the Tianshiyuan in Heaven and the Ghost Market in the Underworld.
Perhaps because this street is so all-encompassing and vast, most of the time Suzaku Street is called by another name in the heavens.
Suzaku Realm!
This is the place with the most intense human life!
Mingyu, who came here, is a true worldly visitor.
Ever since Mingyu stepped into Zhuque Street, the Jingzhen Sword, which had transformed into a hairpin, began to ring non-stop.
It seems to want to soar into the sky and write its own chapter in this world.
Mingyu's mind then broadened. He looked at the vast space and time, the heaven and earth, the beautiful mountains and rivers, and everything he saw could be painted!
He had different experiences each time he came to the human imperial capital.
Perhaps it is because human nature has more variables and is more exciting than the laws of heaven and earth .
A brilliant golden light shone on his Taoist crown.
Luobao Jinqian seemed quite interested in Suzaku Street. With a pair of snow-white wings spread out, it flew through the myriad lights, sometimes stopping at nodes of time and space to observe, and sometimes rushing into various trading venues to wander around.
Ever since Mingyu brought it out of Wuyi Mountain and made it the trading medium of the world, the fortune accumulated by Luobao Jinqian has been extremely profound.
It is keen to see the creatures of the ancient world make one deal after another.
Mingyu relied on it to perfect the power of wealth under the power of blessing held by the Emperor Changsheng.
"Speaking of which, once the authority is perfected, the corresponding industry positions should also appear. In that case, should I expand the Finance Department?"
Mingyu rode the divine beast and strolled along Suzaku Street. While experiencing the mundane world, he was also thinking about the power issue of the Shenxiao faction.
Financial luck is an indispensable part of all blessings.
It is extremely important to perfect it as soon as possible, both for the Great Emperor Changsheng and for the operation of the Heavenly Court.
It is also easy to find a candidate for the Ministry of Finance.
Zhao Gongming is the first one recommended.
"As for the other auxiliary gods, we can slowly look for them. This Journey to the West is a good testing ground."
Mingyu plans to continue poaching the leader's people and arrange a position of God of Wealth for Zhao Gongming in the Heavenly Palace of Journey to the West, and let him be responsible for recruiting people!
Then we will be promoted to the Honghuang Heaven together!
"Mingyu! Help quickly!"
Just as Mingyu was about to step into the imperial palace, Zhunti arrived and called him.
He turned around and looked at the hurried saint in surprise.
"Uncle Master, what are you doing?"
Mingyu saw a flash of golden light, and suddenly a jade book appeared in his hand.
"You decide on this matter!"
The Bodhisattva Zhunti decisively passed the buck and pointed the two chapters to Mingyu.
After reading it, Mingyu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
After some thought, he added a few scenes to the Story of Shi'e.
Zhunti took a look.
"My name is as high as the sky."
"Stealing peaches and pills."
"In the Bagua furnace."
"Vajra is indestructible."
“…”
After Mingyu finished adding, he handed the Shi'e Chuan back to the Bodhisattva Cundi.
When the saints saw this, they clapped their hands and exclaimed, "Wonderful, wonderful!"
"Cause and effect, beginning, middle, end, everything is interconnected. This really looks like a great sage!"
Mingyu said, "Whether or not he can finally become a true Great Sage depends on the hardships he endures along the way. The Five Elements Mountain, the link between the past and the future, is truly of paramount importance. Whether Wukong can nurture the universe, calm his mind, and finally glimpse the true nature of the Great Dao depends on this."
Zhunti clasped his hands together and said with a smile, "Don't worry, nephew, I will take care of this myself!"
"I will return you Fengqi a God of Fighting!"
Mingyu smiled softly and said, "He is also the Fighting God of Lingshan!"
Sun Wukong, the Clever Stone Monkey, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Fighting Buddha.
The vests are all ready-made.
In the future, you can have both Buddhism and Taoism, and have both luck and merit. Isn’t that great?
Upon hearing this, Zhunti also laughed.
Although his Western religion is not as prosperous as the three Eastern religions, it is more than enough to support a god of fighting!
The two agreed on the matter and further elaborated on the details.
Then he rode the divine beast, sat on the lotus platform, and led the White Lotus Boy into the imperial palace.
Baidi was slightly surprised to see the saint coming.
After the Saint Zhunti explained a little, she suddenly understood and then looked at her senior brother with a smile on her face.
The relationship between the Empress and Hou Tu depends entirely on their moods.
Senior brother is caught in the middle, and his life from now on will not be easy.
"Brother, please attain sainthood quickly!"
Bai Di smiled brightly and said to Ming Yu, "In Fengqi Mountain, words carry weight based on strength. And judging by the current situation, your position as the third in command is a bit precarious."
Mingyu glanced at his gloating junior sister and said lightly, "Your senior brother's position is as secure as a rock. But if a certain Fourth Master doesn't return to his position, he'll have to give up the fourth seat."
Baidi's smile froze.
She asked in a low voice: "Little Junior Brother hasn't even been born yet, how can he be so powerful?"
Mingyu couldn't help but smile at a junior sister who was pretending to be stupid.
After Su Hui awakened, he didn't look like a great emperor at all.
But Mingyu still followed Baidi's words and continued: "Junior brother is the Sky-Repairing Spirit Stone, and has a deep connection with one of the Chaos Demon Gods. This background is not small."
He pointed at Zhunti who was watching the show on the side and said, "With the universe created by our uncles and aunts, the Great God and the Goddess, how bad can the war god they cultivate be?"
"It's more than enough for me to take the position of the fourth head of Fengqi."
Baidi was speechless.
Senior brother , you really don’t give me any face!
She felt depressed when she looked at her unscrupulous uncle who seemed to be in a trance but was actually listening to gossip with his ears pricked up.
Well, before the true spirit was awakened, everyone was willing to pretend, but now no one is too lazy to act!
The White Emperor looked eastward toward Mount Tai, then cast his gaze toward Northern Juluzhou. She shook her head and said, "To be enshrined in the Heavenly Court at Mount Tai, I must have some achievements to show for myself. My mission isn't complete yet, so I can't really leave everything on the shoulders of the Black Emperor."
"Wait a little longer, there's still a lot of time!"
Zhunti felt very relieved after listening to Baidi's words.
He exclaimed in admiration: "The White Emperor leads an entire era, and he is worthy of the world!"
As expected of a great emperor from the Western Land, he has the awareness of being compassionate!
Western religions are planning to place their hopes on Zhuanxu in the next era, and certainly don't want to be burdened too heavily by history.
The three of them sat in the main hall and discussed a series of issues such as governance, world order, and great disasters.
The White Emperor, whose true spirit has awakened, has lost all his imperial power.
Mingyu, who re-enters the mortal world, is gentle and easy-going.
Zhunti, who is planning the journey to the West, always smiles.
He had no saintly airs at all and had a very pleasant conversation with his two junior apprentice disciples.
Buddha has no form.
Every person has his own unique appearance.
Among all the saints, Zhunti has always been the one closest to all living beings.
It's not annoying in any way.
…
When the ancient world was experiencing a peaceful and tranquil life, the immortal and demon universe was accelerated by Yuanshi Tianzun.
After completing his studies, Li Jing returned to Chentang Pass and provided protection to the area.
He fought in more than 180 battles, big and small, and never suffered a defeat, thus making a great reputation.
He had a fulfilling life and he and his wife Yin Suzhi had two sons.
The eldest son Jinzha and the second son Muzha are both extraordinary.
The former worshipped Manjusri Bodhisattva of Wulong Mountain as his teacher.
The latter was accepted as a disciple by Puxian Zhenren of Jiugong Mountain and Cihang Zhenren of Putuo Mountain.
Now Mrs. Yin is pregnant again, and it has been two years, but she has not given birth yet.
That day, Yin Suzhi was filled with worry: "My husband, when I gave birth to Jinzha and Muzha, I was not like this before. Now I am worried and anxious, fearing that a great disaster will happen."
Li Jing and his wife were very affectionate, and seeing her worried, he could not help but comfort her: "I heard that in ancient times, extraordinary creatures and innate gods gave birth to their children, and they often counted the years as ten thousand.
Madam, you should know my methods. My previous deduction revealed that my son is a child sent from heaven, destined to be extraordinary! Now that he has only been conceived for two years, the time is far from coming. My dear wife, please do not worry anymore."
Only then did Mrs. Yin feel relieved.
Another year passed.
Li Jing observed the sky at night and saw the Milky Way spinning and the stars falling.
He was secretly shocked.
He quickly deduced and learned that the thirty-six Tiangang stars and the seventy-two Disha stars broke through the seal of the sky and came down to the world together.
"Is there really a disaster?"
Li Jing's face was uncertain. He hesitated for a moment, left the Zhentian Arrow and Qiankun Bow at Chentang Pass, and immediately rushed to Jiuding Tiesha Mountain using the Five Elements Escape Technique.
But when Li Jing arrived here, he saw that the people had gone and the mountains were deserted, with no trace of immortals.
He suddenly understood.
Recalling every moment with Master Du'e, he felt lost: "Master really came with a mission, so resolute..."
"Idiot~"
At this moment, the sigh of Master Du'e echoed in Li Jing's ears.
“Master!”
Li Jing was overwhelmed with surprise. He called out, "Teacher, you've returned to the real West Kunlun!"
True Man Du'e said nothing.
In the Jiuding Tiesha Mountain, there was a red cloud thousands of feet high and a precious light reaching the sky.
Li Jing looked closely and saw seven treasures flying out of the mountain, including a sword, a painted halberd, a Liuchen whip, a demon-subduing pestle, a magic mirror, a demon-binding rope, and a Tiangang knife. They were all extraordinary.
"Overcome the adversity, overcome the adversity, only by overcoming this adversity can one achieve the right result."
"Disciple, I am in the Primordial Realm, in West Kunlun, waiting for you to come and see me."
As soon as Du'e finished speaking, the Nine Cauldrons and Iron Braking Mountain disappeared into the void and no longer appeared in the world.
"Disciple will remember Master's teachings!"
Li Jing bid farewell to the immortal with tears in his eyes.
He took the seven treasures and did not go to the temples of the three great Bodhisattvas. Instead, he chose to return directly to Chentang Pass.
One month later.
The world was filled with smoke and flames of war.
Two months later.
In the chaotic world of immortals and demons, all major sects are in danger.
Three months later.
Waves are rising in the East China Sea, and an ancient demon from purgatory is born.
…
Half a year later.
The wind was blowing, the rain was pouring, and the thunder and lightning were raging. The clear sky was covered with darkness, and the moon took away the sunlight.
The troops reached Chentang.
At this time, inside the Li Mansion, there was a red light and strange fragrance.
Mrs. Yin was pregnant for three years and six months and gave birth to a son.
Li Jing was overjoyed.
"I, Li Jing's third son , am named Nezha!"
The word "Zha" was uttered, announcing to the world and shaking the universe.
After Li Jing named his third son, he had no time to pamper him, so he entrusted Nezha to his beloved wife, took up his sword, assembled his troops, and rode out of the pass.
"Li Jing of Chentang Pass is here!"
Li Jingxiong looked around, making the evil spirits and monsters lurking at Chentang Pass dare not come forward, and making the immortals and demons from all sides unable to look directly at him.
"Li Jing, we know you're an undefeated military god, so we shouldn't have attacked your Chentang Pass! However, your third son was born at the hour of the Ox, which coincides with the 1,700th killing calamity. This is a punishment from heaven, not our wish!"
There are gods calling out in the darkness of the night, as if to convey their own morality.
"One thousand seven hundred killing calamities?"
Li Jing laughed heartily. He pointed his sword in all directions and said, "Then I will slaughter 1,700 of your immortals and demons to break the calamity!"
"The whole army!"
"Form a formation!"
The defenders of Chentang Pass responded upon hearing the voice.
For a moment, there was fighting outside Chentang Pass, the clouds and flags were waving, the stars were shaking, and the world was turning upside down!
Li Jing drew his bow like the moon, and an arrow shot out to shake the sky, intimidating all directions!
Wherever his sword points, wherever the battle formation goes, no one can stand against him!
This scene, this feeling, this atmosphere, and this momentum are truly magnificent.
It is true: With the demon-slaying halberd in hand, the sword of Heavenly Sword spreads its fame. With a cold brow, he saves the world from adversity. The battle of Chentang clears the dust!
Inside the city wall, Taiyi Zhenren looked at the lively and lovely Nezha in Madam Yin's arms and was extremely happy.
"My good disciple, God's will does not understand man, man must break this calamity himself."
"Whether it's a demon or an immortal, it's not up to God to decide."
Taiyi Zhenren took out two items from his sleeves, put a golden bracelet on Nezha's right hand, and wrapped a red silk around his belly. For a moment, golden light was dazzling and red clouds rolled in.
"Good job Taiyi! It turns out you've already taken the initiative!"
On the battlefield, a group of immortals and demons saw golden light and red clouds rising in Guanzhong, and then a splendid painting scroll hung high in the sky, covering Chentang Pass. They were so angry that they started cursing.
"Despicable!"
"The heavens have sent down a calamity upon the world, and the battle has not yet been decided. How can you do this? Could it be that all the immortals of the Chan Sect are untrustworthy?"
The son of destiny is born at Chentang Pass, and immortals and demons come together. He has two tasks: one is to choose to sacrifice his life and help the god of war Li Jing to become a Taoist; the other is to choose to break through Chentang Pass and take Nezha away. Whoever succeeds will win.
Now that the Chan sect has entered Chentang Pass first, it doesn’t matter if they choose to sacrifice their lives.
But those who chose to break through Chentang Pass were furious.
Yes, it was destiny that Taiyi accepted a disciple.
But you have to follow the rules!
The Battle of Chentang Pass hasn't ended yet?
You entered the city just like the Chan sect?
Who wouldn’t feel bad when most of the luck that was about to come to you was intercepted?
"Despicable? Who are you talking about?"
On top of the city wall, the three great masters appeared with their disciples, each guarding one side.
Manjusri, holding the Hui Sword, looked towards the battlefield calmly: "My disciple's home has been robbed. As a teacher, can't I come to help?"
Puxian Zhenren protected Mu Zha behind him and said righteously, "Don't be afraid, my disciple. With Master here, I will definitely keep Chentang Pass safe!"
Taoist Master Cihang smiled slightly and said nothing.
But the jade bottle held up has already made its attitude clear.
The teaching of Chanjiao is to clarify the will of heaven.
But the core idea is "my heart is the heart of heaven" and "my will is the will of heaven."
What does it mean?
In simple terms, they can always point fingers at you from the moral high ground.
If you try to reason with the Chan Sect, unless the Western Sect intervenes, ordinary immortals and gods will really be unable to win the argument.
"Everyone, the Xianjiao sect has gone too far, we can't just let this go!"
The immortals and demons were indignant, but they soon reached a consensus.
"You are willing to sacrifice your lives for this cause. Go and hit Li Jing's sword. You must ensure that you are 100% killed, but you must also hold back the Chentang Pass army."
"Let's break into the city and drive the Chan Sect out!"
The army of immortals and demons are united in their determination, some want to die, some want to attack the city, all determined to destroy the Chan sect.
At this moment, an exquisite tower fell down, and brilliant golden light shone on the thirty-three heavens.
When the army of immortals and demons saw it, their defenses were broken.
“Shameless!”
