Volume 5: The World of Conferred Gods Chapter 2: Brother Emperor
Inside Sanshan Pass.
Kong Xuan and Jia Le sat opposite each other in the mansion, with a lot of spiritual fruits, tea and wine placed in front of them, all of which were Kong Xuan's stock.
"The Way of Yin and Yang..."
"The Way of the Five Elements..."
The two did not say anything extra and started discussing the Dao directly. Jia Le practiced the Dao of Yin and Yang, and Kong Xuan practiced the Dao of Five Elements, both of which were ranked in the top ten great Daos. Yin and Yang derive from the Five Elements, and the Five Elements are the reverse of Yin and Yang. The Dao of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements can be said to be the closest. Discussing the Dao now will be of great benefit to the practice of both of them.
During the discussion, until the discussion stopped, both of them benefited a lot.
When Kong Xuan looked at Jia Le again, he was even more friendly. Jia Le did not hold back much when discussing the Dao, which made Kong Xuan, who was deeply moved by the discussion, feel extremely ashamed. He actually wanted to hold back. It was not that Kong Xuan was not honest, but Jia Le was too honest. One has to know that in this world, all the cultivators would hold back when discussing the Dao, and none of them would be as unreserved as Jia Le.
All I can say is that Kong Xuan felt that he had met an elegant person.
Being put in this position, Kong Xuan naturally couldn't keep it to himself any longer, and he opened up to the other person directly. Discussing in this way was naturally more beneficial. After a discussion, Jia Le's understanding of the Yin-Yang Dao had already reached 13%, a direct improvement of 20%. As expected, only communication can lead to progress.
To be honest, Jiale didn't expect that Kong Xuan actually had a trick up his sleeve. Fortunately, he came to his senses and changed his ways. Otherwise, Jiale would have to give him a good beating.
The discussion is over.
Kong Xuan actually felt a little guilty, "Daoyou!"
Not to mention, Kong Xuan was also a little depressed at this time. It was obviously Jiale who did not follow the rules, but now he seemed to have done something wrong. Not to mention, sometimes it was very troublesome to meet such a good person.
Jiale looked at Kong Xuan's expression and smiled.
After all, he is the son of the Phoenix. Although he is arrogant, he also values his reputation more. Now he probably feels a little embarrassed, so he acts like this.
"Fellow Daoist, I just came out of seclusion and I am still a little confused about the current situation. I wonder if you can explain it to me?"
Jiale took the opportunity to give Kong Xuan a way out. Kong Xuan was relieved to see that Jiale had no intention of making a fuss.
As for what Jia Le said, Kong Xuan believed it a little. He had never heard of Jia Le's name before, but now he could understand it. He looked like an ascetic monk who had just started traveling in the world, so he was not well-known.
Kong Xuan didn't know where to start, so he started from the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and then talked about the major forces in the world today.
Overall, it’s pretty much what Jiale thought.
Hongjun merged with the Tao and established the Xuanmen.
The Xuanmen sect is divided into three religions: the Taiqing Laozi founded the Human Religion, the Yuqing Yuanshi founded the Chan Religion, and the Shangqing Tongtian founded the Jie Religion.
The Buddhist sect came out of the mysterious sect, and led the two saints, Cundi and Jinni, to govern the Western Regions.
The Six Saints of Heaven and Nuwa, the Mother of Man.
Outside of them are the Blood Sea and the Styx, Kunpeng in the North Sea, Zhenyuanzi of the Wuzhuang Temple, Queen Mother of the West in West Kunlun, Haotian Yaochi in Heaven, and many other quasi-saint powers and forces.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors lived in seclusion in the Fire Cloud Cave, and now the one who rules the world is the Shang Dynasty.
The monarch is called the Human Emperor, and the position of the Human Emperor is no lower than that of the Heavenly Emperor. Although the human race cannot achieve immortality through martial arts, they can also possess extraordinary powers. Today, the strongest martial artist can rival the Golden Immortal.
The Shang Dynasty established nine provinces and enfeoffed eight hundred princes.
Now is the heyday of the Shang Dynasty, but Kong Xuan has already felt that the calamity energy in the world seems to be filling up again, which means that the next great calamity is about to come. However, although he is a quasi-saint, he still does not know when the calamity will come and which forces will be affected.
Jiale looked at Kong Xuan in front of him.
"Fellow Daoist, if the catastrophe affects the Great Shang, if you withdraw now, you may be able to escape the catastrophe. What will you choose?"
Um!
Kong Xuan was shocked when he heard this. He didn't think Jia Le was making a fuss.
A Hunyuan Jinxian would not be so bored as to gossip, but what Jiale said was a little too shocking. This catastrophe would actually affect the quasi-saints. How severe would the catastrophe be? Could it be as severe as the lich catastrophe?
Moreover, if it affects the Shang Dynasty, does that mean that the human race will become the protagonist of this catastrophe?
Yes, the human race has always been the protagonist of the world. Before it was the dragon, the phoenix, the unicorn, and the lich, and now it is naturally the human race’s turn.
However, he is the totem of the Shang Dynasty. How could he just leave now? Putting aside the cause and effect, Kong Xuan's pride would not allow him to do so.
Kong Xuan just shook his head slowly, "It's just fate. I, Kong Xuan, don't believe in fate."
Jia Le couldn't help but laugh. "I was right about you. If there really comes a day like that, I might help you. Sorry for bothering you. Goodbye."
Jiale didn't stay any longer and left immediately.
Jiale wasn't trying to deceive Kong Xuan.
What kind of reputation Emperor Xin had was all said by later generations, but he was called the Human Emperor in the Shang Dynasty and the Son of Heaven in the Zhou Dynasty. At least, in the Shang Dynasty, the backbone of the human race was straight. Based on this point alone, as long as Jiale had the ability, he would definitely help.
What's more, Jiejiao and Da Shang are natural camps.
Xuanmen governs the East, and the three religions take turns to preach in the East. Now it is Jiejiao's turn to preach in Dashan. Do you think Wen Zhong really came to Dashan just to seek a way out? No, this is just a means for Jiejiao to preach. The current Dashan is actually protected by Dashan. Overthrowing Dashan is actually a slap in the face of Jiejiao.
Based on Jiale's understanding of Shangqing disciples, you can take their lives, but you cannot hit them in the face.
Therefore, this battle was actually destined before the catastrophe came.
Although Jiale still doesn't know how to face Jiejiao, this does not prevent Jiale from getting close to Jiejiao and thinking about problems from Jiejiao's perspective.
In fact, the death of Jiejiao disciples and the decline of Jiejiao are not the same concept.
Jiejiao claims that tens of thousands of immortals have come to pay homage, and to say that they are a mixed bag of good and bad is actually overstating the Jiejiao, as there really are many evildoers among them.
These disciples were actually included in the List of Gods, which is not a bad thing.
These guys don't have a very good future to begin with, so it's actually a very good thing for them to get some incense and enjoy some good luck.
It would be even better if those who are not loyal to Jiejiao and just want to use Jiejiao's banner to do bad things were taken away by other forces.
What remains is the essence.
What really brought down Jiejiao was that Tongtian Taoist was forced into chaos, three of the four direct disciples were killed, and almost all of the 300 elite disciples from the outer sect were on the list. This was the real reason why Jiejiao could never recover. Without the soul, everything else is just empty talk.
Disciples of Jiejiao can be on the list, can die, and can leave, but Duobao Taoist, Jinling Holy Mother, Guiling Holy Mother, and Wudang Holy Mother cannot die.
Zhao Gongming and Sanxiao should not die.
Master Tongtian cannot leave.
However, from the moment Daozu threw out the List of Gods, Tongtian Sect Master was destined to be in a one-on-four situation.
If the West wants to march into the East, the largest force of the Xuanmen, Jiejiao, will be their obstacle. Naturally, the two saints of the West will not hesitate to take action because there are benefits to be gained.
This side of Xuanmen.
The eldest brother Laozi seems to be indifferent, but he has always regarded himself as the leader of Xuanmen. The power of Jiejiao is growing stronger and stronger, and it has already threatened the status of Renjiao. Therefore, it is inevitable that Laozi will take action against Tongtian and Jiejiao. As for Yuanshi, he is the most proud and will not allow himself, the power of Chenjiao, which is smaller than Jiejiao, to be suppressed by Jiejiao.
This is the breaking point of the conflict.
The Six Saints all know this truth, but Master Tongtian cannot retreat. If Yuanshi Tianzun wants to defeat Jiejiao, he can only be willing to be Laozi's gun.
The final winner is Yuanshi Tianzun, or the two saints of the West? No, neither of them, but Taiqing Laozi.
Are saints really free?
But that's not entirely true. Jia Le could now imagine how helpless Tongtian, Yuanshi and the others were. They needed luck to practice, and they needed the support of luck provided by the great sect to make rapid progress in their practice. Therefore, they had to fight. This was the way of saints. They had to follow the way of heaven, which was also the way of saints.
Therefore, from the moment they chose to achieve the path of sainthood, all of this was actually destined.
Therefore, Jiale would never allow himself to embark on the path of a saint. Even if the path of Hunyuan is a little difficult to walk now, he will continue on it.
The city of Chaoge was bustling with people.
There was no gate fee when entering the city. Perhaps because it was the capital, there were too many people and Jiale had to wait in line for a long time before he could enter the city.
At this point, there is already something to identify your identity, which is the so-called pass.
However, this is just a piece of cake for Jiale.
Looking at the prosperous scene before his eyes, Jiale did not see much numbness on their faces. At that time, the Shang Dynasty was still a slavery country. Jiale thought that these ordinary people would be tortured by life and become numb, but now it seems that every era has its own system.
On the street, Jiale is just like an ordinary person. He buys whatever he likes and tries whatever he sees delicious.
As they walked along, it seemed that their minds had become much clearer, and Jiale had finally integrated into this world.
And at this moment, another group of people came towards them.
When their eyes met, Jiale's mind couldn't help but be startled. Looking at the figure surrounded by purple air, Jiale actually saw a hint of an old friend in him.
The person opposite was much more excited than Jiale.
“Brother!”
A trembling voice came out from that person's mouth, and Jiale couldn't help but sigh. Now he had one more reason to support Dashang.
Jiale also didn't expect that the opportunity he gave Sun Zichu before would actually be seized by Sun Zichu.
Moreover, he is so lucky. He was the Human Emperor before, and now he is even better. What this Human Emperor has done is much more impressive than the previous one.
That’s right, the person opposite is Jiale’s cousin in the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Sun Zichu.
When he was on the verge of death, Jia Le had an idea and used the Kunlun Mirror to consume some energy and give him an opportunity. However, Sun Zichu was not Jia Le after all, and even Jia Le could not grasp what would happen next. Jia Le could not have imagined that Sun Zichu actually came to the world of Fengshen and was reincarnated as Emperor Xin.
From the looks of it, the mystery in the womb has been solved.
He was covered in purple aura, and although he was disturbed by calamity, he remained standing . It was obvious that he was a hero and an emperor. Jia Le had no way of judging what the original Emperor Xin was like in the world of Fengshen. However, Jia Le knew about his grandson Zichu, which was a good thing. As for Sun Zichu, he had great potential as Emperor Xin.
“Brother!”
Shang Rong and Bigan, who were accompanying Emperor Xin, were also surprised. Is this also the bloodline of the Shang Dynasty? Looking at Jiale's young face, Shang Rong is of the Shang Dynasty bloodline, and can be considered Emperor Xin's uncle. However, after thinking carefully about the bloodline of the Shang Dynasty royal family, they could not figure out where Jiale came from, and why Emperor Xin called him brother.
And looking at Emperor Xin's appearance, Jiale seems to have a high position in his heart.
"I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really fate."
Emperor Xin was even more delighted to see that Jiale did not deny it. After reincarnation, his face must have changed, but Jiale's face had remained the same for thousands of years. Emperor Xin thought that he would never be able to meet Jiale again in this life, but the world is really full of chance, and he actually met Jiale here.
Not only his appearance, but also his temperament is almost the same as before. If there is any change, it is that Jiale seems more approachable.
"Brother, let's go back and talk."
Emperor Xin did not chat with Jiale on the street, but hurriedly took Jiale to the palace.
Shang Rong, Bigan, and the accompanying Fei Lian, E Lai and others were full of doubts at this time, but they had no time to ask and could only follow Emperor Xin back to the palace.
Along the way, Jiale was also looking at Emperor Xin.
The martial arts fairyland is comparable to the golden immortal. Perhaps it is because of the blessing of the Human Emperor's luck. Its martial arts strength has reached the highest level of martial arts inheritance in this world. Although martial arts are suppressed by the way of heaven and it is difficult to achieve immortality, the strength cannot be faked. Even the martial arts golden immortal is stronger than the immortal golden immortal.
Entering the palace and feeling its atmosphere, Jiale seemed to have thought of something.
In the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Jiale passed on a book to his grandson, Zhu Yung.
It seems that Sun Zichu has not given up his philosophy, but is preparing to implement it in Da Shang. This is a smart choice.
After experiencing so many worlds, Jiale has never seen the way of fortune.
In fact, this way of fortune-telling is partly the accumulation of the previous life, but more importantly, it is the result of Jiale's reverse deduction based on the foundation of the Heavenly Palace.
In fact, the Heavenly Court is the greatest dynasty.
The reason why there is no Yun Dynasty in these worlds may be due to the suppression of Heaven. However, in the current world of Conferred Gods, Heaven is in decline, which is exactly the time for the Yun Dynasty to rise. If luck is good, it is not impossible to replace Heaven.
The Human Emperor is in charge of humanity. Although Haotian has the support of Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao.
However, there is no distinction between the three ways of heaven, earth and man. It is not wrong to use the way of man to go against the way of heaven.
The Great Catastrophe used the Shang Dynasty as a chessboard. It was said that the Six Saints suppressed the human race, but in the final analysis, the Six Saints were nothing more than the minions of Heaven. The one who really wanted to suppress humanity was Heaven.
If the Shang Dynasty wants to win, it is not just facing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, but also Hongjun and the Way of Heaven.
However, although the Heavenly Dao is an enemy, Hongjun is not necessarily the same, so there is still much that can be done about this matter.
After many thoughts in his mind, Jiale already had an idea.
"Brother, why are you here in Chaoge?"
Facing Di Xin's question, Jia Le naturally knew what he was asking, but Jia Le just shook his head, "I was just passing by. If I hadn't seen you, I really wouldn't have known you were here."
It was Emperor Xin who spoke next. At this time, there were only Emperor Xin and Jia Le in the hall. Everyone else had been dismissed.
As Emperor Xin was talking about what happened next, Jia Le seemed to be thinking about something.
Perhaps, his push was just a trigger, and the real mastermind behind the scenes might be humanity.
The way of heaven exists, and the way of man naturally exists as well.
In fact, it should be the spiritual way, the way of all spirits. Unfortunately, the human race is the protagonist, and this spiritual way is also the human way.
Humanity came into the world late, so it was naturally suppressed by the Heavenly Way. However, humanity would not be willing to be suppressed or even swallowed up by the Heavenly Way. So, how could it not rise up in resistance?
At this time, Jiale appeared and gave him a grandson, Chu.
Or it could be said that humanity saw hope in the Dynasty of Fortune and the Dynasty established by Sun Zichu.
Therefore, when starting to invest in Sun Zichu, perhaps humanity was also taking him into account in this matter, but it was harmless.
After all, humanity is not the way of heaven, and it is still too weak at this moment. Humanity wants to drag him into the chess game, but he is not necessarily the chess piece, and humanity is not necessarily the chess player.
It is still unclear who will benefit in the end.
Thinking of this, Jiale also laughed. This matter was becoming more and more interesting.
When playing the chess game, Jiale likes it best when there are as many players as possible, because the more players there are, the more room there is for maneuvering.
What's more, life is full of surprises, just like the Sun Zichu I met today.
"Brother, what should I do from now on?"
Emperor Xin looked at Jiale with hope. Although he had been reincarnated once, it was obvious that Sun Zichu was still the same Sun Zichu. At least he had not changed in front of Jiale. Today's Sun Zichu was still Jiale's cousin, not the big businessman Emperor Xin.
Looked at Sun Zichu.
"Work hard to govern the country! Zichu, you are more professional than me in governing the country. Just focus on governing the country. I will take care of the rest."
At this moment, Jiale was suddenly filled with supreme confidence and aura.
Originally, he was planning to stay calm and practice for a while. After all, he was only in the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal. Not to mention the Six Saints and Hongjun, even those veteran Hunyuan Golden Immortals were no match for him.
But now it's different.
Jiale felt that he had another way to go. He could use humanity as a fulcrum to play a big game with the way of heaven.
Perhaps, what Jiale holds in his hands is not only humanity, but also the truth.
It is an indisputable fact that the Earth is suppressed by the Heaven. Hou Tu's transformation into reincarnation was originally the biggest calculation of the Heaven. The land of reincarnation already existed between heaven and earth, so why did the Heaven need Hou Tu to transform into reincarnation? The Heaven was just using this to suppress the Earth. The Earth was born prematurely and became a premature baby. It lacked strength. Even if it could not fight against the Heaven, how could it be willing to do so?
Humanity sent Sun Zichu to become Emperor Xin, but it was ultimately reincarnation. Would this be possible without the involvement of the underground?
With the laws of earth and humanity in hand, what can't he fight against the laws of heaven?
Thinking of this, Jiale became even more proud.
After hearing Jia Le's words, Sun Zichu was even more delighted. As expected, his eldest brother was still his eldest brother, just as heroic and domineering.
Sun Zichu is not a fool. After coming to this world, Sun Zichu has always been low-key.
Because, in his eyes, this world is too terrible.
The Taoist Ancestor, the Six Saints, various major forces, and thousands of races.
The human race seems to be the protagonist, but Sun Zichu does not dare to think so. He dare not act rashly until he is sure of his ability to fight against these forces.
Why , even though he clearly holds the method to control the dynasty, he can only stay in the preparation stage and dares not take any action?
Isn’t it because of those people and forces that are above the human race?
Originally, Sun Zichu was lonely, because he could only fight these on his own. As the Emperor of Mankind, surrounded by the destiny of humanity, he had always been facing crises that others could not feel. It seemed that if he did nothing, a huge crisis would occur, not only for him, but also for the human race.
Because of this, Sun Zichu became even more cautious.
Now that Jiale is here and his elder brother is there, there is nothing his grandson Chu should be afraid of. Just do it the same as before. He just needs to focus on giggling and Jiale will do the rest.
Jiale thought for a moment, then lightly tapped his fingertips and passed two Taoist books to Emperor Xin.
One is about martial arts.
Yes, it is martial arts. This is not the first time that Jiale has comprehended martial arts. Since the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Jiale has been compiling and comprehending martial arts.
It's just that it has always been a by-product. However, even if it was a by-product, Jia Le has already pushed the martial arts to the level of Taiyi Jinxian.
Now, after some progress, it has been pushed to the level of Daluo Jinxian. To continue from then on, it will take time.
The immortal path conflicts with the human path, and is even more harmful to the luck of the Human Emperor. It is indeed not suitable for the Human Emperor to practice. The martial arts path is just right.
However, Sun Zichu's desire to go further was obviously not feasible.
After seeing the martial arts method passed down to him by Jia Le, Sun Zichu couldn't help but be overjoyed. No one knew how much he longed for power at this moment. His elder brother understood him too well. Moreover, this was not only a method of cultivation, but also a real great way.
It includes methods of practicing martial arts, methods of refining martial arts formations, methods of refining weapons, methods of tempering the body and soul, methods of tempering elixirs, etc., etc. It is all-encompassing. This is equivalent to establishing a sect, like Buddhism.
Naturally, Jia Le not only wanted to teach martial arts to his grandson, Zichu, but also wanted to spread martial arts among the human race.
Today's human martial arts are more like what the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did, because most of them were at the Golden Immortal level, and they were directly infused with merit and entered the Fire Cloud Cave to practice. No one studied the follow-up of martial arts anymore.
No one really sees the value of martial arts, so if that's the case, let him pick it up.
From today on, he is the Martial Ancestor. His martial arts are different from the current human martial arts. In the future, as long as someone from the human race practices his martial arts, some of their luck will gather towards Jiale. The human race is so numerous that the luck of this Martial Ancestor, even if not better than the three religions and Buddhism, is only second to theirs.
Then there is the method of ruling the dynasty. Previously, Jiale only passed on the method of ruling the dynasty to his grandson, Chu, which was far from enough.
Dynasty, imperial dynasty, empire, celestial dynasty, heavenly court.
Since the human race wants to rise, let’s start from here.
