“Fellow Daoist, please!”
In the center of the imperial throne, seventeen cushions floated in the air, and people sat around them without any distinction of importance.
This gathering was initiated by Emperor Haotian.
However, everyone did not get to the point right away, but chose to liven up the atmosphere first.
So the Green Emperor takes the lead, and we chat about interesting things in the ancient times, or talk about experiences in time and space. You add some negative information about the gods, and I say that things in the world are unpredictable.
"So, what interesting stories were there during Fellow Daoist General's time?"
At this time, Mingyu, who was the second to last speaker, turned the topic to Jiang Chen.
The general was eating the melon with gusto when suddenly the food got on his own body.
He saw everyone looking at him with shining eyes, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.
Jiang Chen pondered for a moment, then said uncertainly, "The most interesting story is probably that my birth announced the complete defeat of the Beast King, which led to the more turbulent and prosperous prehistoric era."
As soon as these words were spoken, silence fell.
The sixteen Hunyuan and Emperors looked at the generals and ministers with gloomy eyes.
Jiang Chen felt that what he said was good, but when he saw that no one was saying anything, he became confused.
"Isn't it interesting?"
“Hehe~”
He was responded with the standard smile of everyone.
But what everyone was thinking was: What a bad move, he actually got away with it!
Mingyu said bluntly, "That was a good point. Don't say it again next time."
The calamity of ferocious beasts swept across the ancient world. Before the gods completed their alliance, the Beast King could be said to have whipped the world and his power was feared for eternity.
Regardless of whether he failed in the end, the Beast King did teach the innate gods a lesson.
If he hadn't died, the history of the prehistoric world would probably have gone in a different direction.
It is very likely that there would be no great world like today.
So to some extent, the pioneers such as the Taoist Ancestor and the Demon Ancestor also made great contributions.
Not only did he exorcise the Beast King, he also nailed the other party's coffin lid shut.
As a result, it was the Corpse Ancestor General who crawled out of the coffin instead of the Beast King Shen Ni.
Since this topic has been talked about to death by someone, the Taiqing Saint plays the role of the head of the Xuanmen.
He slightly sternened his expression, announced his Taoist name, and took the initiative to speak: "Thanks to a Taoist friend's ingenuity, this small gathering has been transformed into a Dan Yuan Dao Conference. Then, I would like to invite you Taoist friends to taste the golden elixirs I have refined over the years."
As he said this, Taiqing looked at Fuxi.
The Blue Emperor Fuxi sat upright, not looking around.
Taiqing smiled and waved his whisk lightly. Nine gourds appeared in front of everyone, adding to the twelve before, a total of twenty-one.
In addition to the saints and emperors, Xuandu, Xuannv, Venus and Chenxing all have a share.
Fuxi beamed. He was the first to take the gourd and said, "Daoist friend, you are so kind!"
Everyone laughed, bowed, and praised him.
As the pill gourds were opened one by one, thousands of colorful rays and auspicious auras gushed out from the gourds, and the fragrance of medicine filled the air. Just taking a light breath would make one feel refreshed and energetic.
The saints each took a golden pill, and then simultaneously put the gourd into their sleeves.
The auspicious light finally dissipated.
But after a while, the golden elixir entered his stomach and the hall was filled with mysterious light again.
When everyone looked, they saw Mingyu sitting upright on a cushion, seemingly half asleep and half awake, gradually entering into a state of Taoism, in a state of being in tune with the will of heaven.
"Mingyu, you're so good!"
The first to react were Haotian and Yaochi, two of the three giants of heaven.
They looked at each other, followed suit, and also entered the realm of Tao.
Green Emperor Fuxi looked at the three actors, especially Mingyu, who had taken the lead in entering the Dao Realm, and muttered to himself, "This acting is too unprofessional!"
The next moment, a golden pill entered Fuxi's stomach, the imperial crown swayed slightly, auspicious clouds extended above his head, three flowers bloomed brilliantly, and Taoist images appeared.
When the actors saw this, they seemed to understand something.
Goddess Nuwa gently closed her eyes, auspicious clouds spread out, and the creation of the universe was infinitely beautiful.
Hou Tu followed closely behind, with three flowers blooming brilliantly, interpreting the six paths of reincarnation with a bit of the true meaning of yin and yang.
The auspicious clouds of the heavens of the Celestial Lord, the sword of the Azure Waterlily of the Sect Leader, the golden sun of Taiyi, the golden lotuses of Zhunti...
At one moment, twenty completely different avenues and images evolved in the hall.
Everyone is giving face.
When Taiqing saw this, he also smiled.
His face was bright and his expression was even more kind and benevolent.
The Three Pure Ones each have their own strengths. Shangqing is proficient in formations, Yuqing is good at refining weapons, and Taiqing is the best at refining elixirs.
Although the three have different focuses, they have one thing in common - the great way.
Taiqing's alchemy is the practice of Taoism.
Only those who understand it know the truth behind it.
As for whether the actors in front of him knew about it, it was not within Taiqing's consideration.
After all, he's an actor.
After a while, all the actors woke up.
Everyone was smiling.
Nuwa said: "Wonderful!"
Hou Tu said: "Xuan!"
The remaining saints added: "Mysterious!"
Mingyu opened his eyes and made a summary on behalf of the emperors, which was the most respectful.
“You can see Hunyuan!”
All the saints and emperors laughed.
Mingyu spread her hands and said seriously, "Really."
Taiqing uses Tai Chi to connect with Wuji, which is very consistent with his Yin and Yang connecting to the other side.
The two people's paths are different but they reach the same destination, which can be fully verified.
A golden pill entered the stomach.
He really gained something just now.
In response to this, the actors all smiled and said nothing, and it was unclear whether they believed it or not.
After tasting the golden elixir, the next step is to contribute to the inventory.
Peaches, apricots, ginseng fruit, hibiscus fruit, star fruit, yellow plum, laurel, bodhi seeds...
Most of the ten innate spiritual roots are edible, and most of them are now gathered.
Even if it is an innate spiritual root, it is of little use to the immortals and saints present.
But everyone is still in a good mood.
Eat whatever you want and talk freely, it's quite joyful.
This gathering was more like a tea party than a Danyuan Taoist meeting.
Everyone exchanged opinions while eating.
When the Emperor of Heaven saw that the atmosphere was almost created, he secretly glanced at Mingyu.
Mingyu picked up a peach and nodded slightly without any expression.
The Emperor of Heaven calmed down.
He coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention.
"Great Lord, please speak."
All the saints present gave him face.
This made Haotian secretly relieved.
"Fellow Daoists, you have come together to give Haotian a favor, for which Haotian is deeply grateful."
Everyone exchanged a few polite words and listened quietly to what was to follow.
Haotian said: "Before the Xuanhuang Banquet, I invite all of you fellow Taoists to a small gathering for two reasons."
"This one is related to the affairs of the Heavenly Court."
"These two are the calamities of the Journey to the West."
After everyone heard this, Taiqing asked, "What is the matter with the Heavenly Court?"
Haotian replied: "Nothing else, it's Liu Yuer!"
When the saints heard this, their expressions changed.
Nuwa looked at Mingyu, who was holding a cup of fragrant tea and taking a sip gently, looking as if it had nothing to do with her.
"What are the Six Imperials?"
Nuwa curled her lips and turned to ask Haotian.
"The Six Imperial Guardians are the great emperors of heaven."
Haotian smiled slightly and said, "Besides Brother Mingyu and I, there are also the Great Emperor Gouchen, the Great Emperor Ziwei, the Great Emperor Qinghua, and even..."
Haotian paused and looked at Houtu beside Nuwa.
"According to Heaven, follow the example of Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi!"
Phew~~
Ahem!!
As soon as these words were spoken, the Green Emperor Fuxi, the Master of Tongtian, and the Sage Zhunti, who were drinking tea with them, all spat out the tea.
Taiyi, Yuanshi and Jieyin raised their sleeves to block it without changing their expressions.
Hou Tu was also surprised.
She glanced at Mingyu.
Mingyu held up the cup, concentrating on admiring the exquisite patterns.
Hou Tu smiled, looked at Hao Tian, and asked, "Who will take on the three thrones of Gou Chen, Zi Wei, and Qing Hua?"
Haotian was secretly delighted when he heard this.
Hou Tu asked this question instead of directly refusing, which shows that it can really be done!
Emperors never show their emotions. Haotian's appearance was very calm. He did not directly answer Hou Tu's question, but said: "Gou Chen controls all monsters; Zi Wei controls all stars; Qing Hua Emperor controls all creatures."
As soon as he finished speaking, Taiyi's expression changed.
Fuxi, who had just made a cup of tea, almost spilled it again.
His eyes also became strange.
And the people with strange expressions discovered that there was something even more wrong with the way Haotian looked at them!
It was an immense enthusiasm and anticipation.
Taiyi's mouth twitched slightly.
[Ten Thousand Monsters and Ten Thousand Stars, are you asking me to choose? ]
Fuxi blinked.
[Qinghua Emperor? Or Qingdi for short? It seems that's not impossible.]
Mingyu, on the other hand, was still looking at the pattern on the jade cup.
Well, very fascinating!
Tianzun, the leader and others looked at the Emperor of Heaven with curiosity.
The six emperors appeared in the sky, which means power is divided.
Regardless of who the other four are, or whether they agree or not, this is not good news for the Emperor of Heaven.
I don’t know what kind of medicine Mingyu fed him, but he actually agreed to it and even wanted to get Hunyuan to invest?
Haotian saw that Taiyi and Fuxi did not respond for a long time, and it seemed that he had expected this.
All I heard was him saying, "Heaven is the ruler of the Three Realms and the seat of order in the prehistoric world. I, following the order of the Daoist Ancestor, have succeeded to the throne of Heaven and governed the myriad realms. I have weathered countless calamities to reach this day."
"Brother Dao, the Queen Mother, and I have been working diligently and diligently to establish a better order for the Three Realms."
"However, the world is unpredictable and time waits for no one. The catastrophe of gods and demons is imminent. Although Haotian is not talented, he is willing to lead the people of the Heavenly Court to fight on the front lines of the battlefield."
"Unfortunately, the current Heavenly Court is still imperfect, and the major positions have not yet emerged, so it is not capable of shouldering such a heavy burden."
"This is exactly what I worry about day and night!"
After Haotian finished speaking, he sighed repeatedly.
The Queen Mother understood and was worried.
This time, Mingyu put down the cup with the flower on it and nodded seriously.
The four human emperors looked at each other in bewilderment.
The Six Saints of Heaven seemed to be thinking about something.
Hou Tu and Zhen Yuanzi, representing the underground world, looked at each other.
Taiyi was a little hesitant.
Only Jiang Chen looked at the three people from Heaven with interest, admiring their courage.
"This chess game is so cool~~"
Haotian’s words are easy to understand.
Basically, it means that the Heavenly Court is the ancient Heavenly Court, but now a catastrophe is coming, and the development of the Heavenly Court has reached a bottleneck and it urgently needs your support.
The position of the Four Emperors.
One is given to Hou Tu, representing the earth and the witch clan.
One is given to Fuxi, representing humanity and the human race.
Two are for Donghuang to choose from, representing the ancient starry sky and the demon clan.
Think again about the powers of the Four Emperors.
You taste it, you taste it carefully.
Isn't this clearly using the power of the human world and the underworld to promote the development of heaven?
It seems that the power of heaven is dispersed, but the size of heaven has actually expanded!
In the past, the so-called Heaven was the ruler of the three realms. Everyone just gave it some face and listened to it.
But if the Six Emperors decide, without first saying whether the one who receives the title is the real body of Hunyuan, even if it is the incarnation of form and spirit, then the Heavenly Court will truly be the Heavenly Court of the three realms combined!
There is nothing wrong with saying that you are the ruler of the three realms.
"If several Hunyuan incarnations ascend to heaven, coupled with the various contributions from humanity and earth, wouldn't the luck and merit of Heavenly Court skyrocket? And in the future, there will be the plan of conferring gods upon the gods, and then I will command all the gods..."
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen's eyes suddenly widened.
He realized a possibility.
Jiang Chen then looked at Haotian who was sighing repeatedly, and then stared at Mingyu who seemed to be smiling, and a word almost came out of his mouth.
“I know how to play!”
“What a fun game!”
He still held back, feeling deeply moved.
At first I thought he was on the second floor, but when I turned around, he was on the fifth floor!
Hunyuan Wuji, these four words are not a problem for Mingyu.
But for Haotian, it’s hard to say.
Mingyu advocates Liuyu, whether it is to share power or to combine benefits, I am afraid that his ultimate goal is to help Haotian before he takes the last step!
Even if you fail to achieve Hunyuan in the end, you can still become a saint through your merits!
He really wanted to push Haotian, who possessed the status of Heavenly Emperor, to the position of the Supreme Being of the Three Realms!
Jiang Chen, an outsider, saw this truth clearly.
The Six Saints, Hou Tu, Tai Yi, the Four Emperors, and Zhen Yuan also saw it clearly.
Yao Chi, one of the three giants in heaven, had known this for a long time.
But she is very calm.
After Haotian entrusted her with the power by the Heavenly Court, he turned around and went to experience the tribulation.
Although the two of them had a deal, Yao Chi always remembered this kindness.
Therefore, after the Emperor of Heaven returned to the throne, she directly returned power without any delay.
Now that Haotian has the opportunity to achieve enlightenment, Yaochi will not be jealous of him or stop him.
Just like Mingyu, I will help him with all my strength.
“Maybe this is like-minded.”
Yao Chi, which has experienced the ups and downs of life over the long years, sighed sincerely in its heart at this moment.
She looked at Mingyu, who remained calm and composed, and the saints who remained silent, weighing the pros and cons but did not speak out in direct opposition.
I wondered what the world would be like without him.
"Maybe it won't be that smooth."
Mingyu saw everyone's reactions and didn't find it strange at all.
He first gave Haotian a secret look, then picked up the jade cup and sipped the tea slowly, seemingly in no hurry at all.
And that is exactly what is happening.
To put it bluntly, the position of the Six Emperors is about making and dividing the cake.
The rulers of the human world and the underworld invested in the heavenly court.
The cake of heaven will become bigger and bigger, and the human world and the underworld will get more.
This is a win-win situation.
The same is true for humans, witches, and demons.
But there is only one difficult thing: face!
Fuxi, Taiyi and Houtu are all Hunyuan saints.
Investing in the Heavenly Court and taking the position of the Six Emperors, even if it means being on par with Haotian and Mingyu, would not look good in terms of face.
And when it comes down to it, this matter has basically no benefit for the three Hunyuan themselves, and they may even have to pay for it.
So, that's the key to their hesitation.
If Mingyu's purpose was only to expand the power of Heaven and to unite the dominant forces of the three realms, then to be honest, there was no need for them to hold this meeting.
Because the existence of Daluotian is to integrate the prehistoric forces.
The Journey to the West and the Conferred God Program were initiated with the intention of increasing the power of Heaven.
The former is ready, and the latter is about to begin.
However, Mingyu's purpose is far more than that!
He wanted to make the forces of the three realms and the three tribes go one step further, and at the same time, let Honghuang produce another Hunyuan fighting force!
That's different.
If Haotian can achieve enlightenment, then everyone will be a Hunyuan Sage, and it is not impossible to sit in the position of Liuyu.
Wouldn’t this restore your face?
Since there is hope for enlightenment, then there will be fellow Taoists who can fight side by side with me in the future!
Then if we join Liuyu, wouldn’t that be helping our comrades achieve enlightenment?
Having one more Heavenly Emperor who can attain enlightenment will reduce a lot of pressure in the future.
There is one more hope for the prehistoric world.
Is this embarrassing?
It’s very profitable!
Reasonable, beneficial and compliant.
This is simply like-minded!
We are all actors, and Mingyu has handed over the "ladder" so well, so we can take this step down.
