I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 242 Hongmeng Purple Qi
Zixiao Palace, on the high platform.

There are thousands of rays of sunshine, thousands of auspicious auras, strange fragrances and bursts of fairy sounds.

Daozu Hongjun gradually appeared.

The already agitated hall instantly became quiet.

Everyone, including Li Anran, suddenly looked towards the high platform, observing the saint who was the first person in history to successfully attain enlightenment.

He was wearing a Taoist robe, wearing straw sandals, holding a jade pole, and the top was covered with colorful golden light. He sat on a twelve-grade lotus pedestal. He looked to be in his thirties, with a clear face and deep eyes, giving people a sense of vastness. A feeling of boundlessness.

Standing in front of him, I couldn't help but feel as insignificant as an ant facing the world.

Hongjun Daozu looked around, his eyes sweeping over the six people sitting on the futons including Sanqing Jieyin Zhunti Nuwa. When passing by Hongyun Daozu, he paused for a moment and then continued to look elsewhere. go.

All the people he saw straightened up unconsciously and looked dignified and solemn.

Even Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun, who had always been unruly and lawless, were no exception and stopped.

The two brothers didn't know what had delayed them, but they arrived just a little earlier than Yin Zhunti.

After seeing Jieyin Zhunti cheating him out of Hongyun's seat and forcing Kunpeng to give up his seat, the two brothers walked towards Jieyin Zhunti without saying a word.

Unlike other powerful officials who wanted to snatch Nuwa's seat, their brothers had a close friendship with Nuwa Fuxi's brother and sister, and they needed two more seats, so they decided to take Yin Zhunti.

Jieyin Zhunti was also aware of it, and took out their respective accompanying spiritual treasures, the Jieyin Divine Banner and the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and prepared for a battle.

It was interrupted by the sudden appearance of ancestor Hongjun.

Ancestor Hongjun said: "You are all able to come here because you are related to Pindao. Remember your respective positions, and this will be the way it is from now on."

"Good." Although the powerful officials felt unwilling to do so, they did not dare to speak at this time and could only respond honestly.

Only Dong Huangtai showed dissatisfaction, and when she was about to retort, she saw Di Jun shaking his head at him, signaling him not to speak.

At that time, the creatures in the ancient times all relied on their instincts to practice, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon to temper their bodies. Starting from the sermons of Taoist Hongjun, there were many things such as energy, energy, refining, merit, karma, luck, etc. The concept has just gradually taken root in people's hearts.

However, this does not mean that no one thought of these before Daozu Hongjun!

Since the founding of the world by Pangu, countless people with amazing talents and beauty have appeared in the ancient world. After discovering that the way to prove the Tao through force is unavailable, they are also looking for other ways to prove the Tao.

The essence, merit, karma, and luck themselves exist objectively, and many living beings have also noticed them.

However, they did not understand it as thoroughly as Taoist Hongjun, and became the first person in the world to successfully attain enlightenment.

From this point of view, Taoist Hongjun has surpassed Pangu, the great god who created the world and gave birth to all things.

Emperor Jun was born with profound talents and had two top-quality innate spiritual treasures, the River Tuluo Book, so he naturally understood a lot of content related to them.

It was also because of this that he deliberately gained a great reputation in order to prepare for the establishment of the Demon Clan Heavenly Palace in the future, hoping to become a saint through the imperial way.

Emperor Jun realized that these six futons had great opportunities, so he thought of going forward to snatch them with Donghuang Taiyi.

However, the moment Daozu Hongjun appeared, something suddenly moved in his heart, and he realized that although these six futons had great opportunities, they also had great cause and effect!
Once their brothers sit on it, they will probably be restricted by Hongjun Daozu in the future, and it will be difficult to escape.

Although Taoist Hongjun was the first person to achieve Taoism and become a saint, Di Jun also had his own pride. He came to Zixiao Palace more to confirm whether Hongjun achieved Taoism through force or in other ways.

If it was the former, he would be willing to bow to Taoist Hongjun for advice.

If the latter...

Hongjun can achieve enlightenment in his own way, and he must also be able to achieve enlightenment in his own way!

Then there is no need to follow Hongjun’s path!
Donghuang Taiyi didn't think so much, but he had always believed in his brother. Seeing this, he endured it and stood beside Kunpeng with Di Junyi.

Daozu Hongjun noticed the little actions of the two brothers, but he didn't say much. Instead, he went directly to the topic and began his first sermon.

In an instant, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses surged from the ground, infinite fairy sounds echoed, and all the laws of heaven and earth appeared.

At this time of prehistoric times, the way of heaven had not yet evolved completely, and the way of heaven was already easy to comprehend.

With Daozu Hongjun's opening, it can be said that he directly removed the veil covering the avenue, clearly displaying the mystery and depth of the avenue in front of everyone.

It can be said that it performs three thousand ways in seconds, the subtle laws of heaven and earth, slowly shakes its tail, sprays pearls and jade, and vibrates with thunder to shake the nine heavens.

Li Anran was browsing Kunpeng's life, and also noticed Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi beside Kunpeng.

However, before he could think too much, he was attracted by the Taoist Taoist Hongjun's words.

Li Anran's eyes lit up and he smiled happily.

Many contents that could not be comprehended in the past, or were not fully comprehended, now come into my mind like an enlightenment, and the effect is even better than a sudden enlightenment.

When placed on the character panel of the Evil Punishment Book, not only the experience value has skyrocketed, but also many spells and techniques that have been cultivated to the highest level have been reborn and their grades have been improved.

For example, Samadhi True Fire and Samadhi Divine Wind.

They were originally fifth-level spells, but with the teachings of Taoist Hongjun, Li Anran's understanding of the way of wind and fire became deeper and deeper, and he improved again on the original Samadhi True Fire and Samadhi Divine Wind, changing their level from five to five. The level has been upgraded to the sixth level, and the power has increased more than a hundred times.

In addition, Li Anran also comprehended many spells such as Nanming Lihuo, Sun True Fire, Jiuxiao Gangfeng, etc.

Of course, just as fish are naturally better at swimming than humans, Li Anran's Nanming Lihuo and Sun True Fire cannot compare with the Phoenix and the Three-Legged Golden Crow in terms of power.

Gradually, Li Anran also understood why Taoist Hongjun did not preach to the entire prehistoric world, but instead selected these guests from Zixiao Palace based on whether they could arrive at Zixiao Palace within three months.

That's right, it's a matter of choice, not all based on your own strength and luck!
The three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace are not the same as the three thousand powerful ones.

Three thousand is just an imaginary number. Li Anran glanced at it before Daozu Hongjun appeared. At this time, there were 130 powerful men in Zixiao Palace!
However, these were all carefully selected by Daozu Hongjun!

They are not the most powerful group of powerful people in the world at this time——

From what Li Anran saw in Kunpeng's life, many of the remaining top experts from the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin tribes did not appear.

It's not that they are not strong enough, it's that they were screened out by Daozu Hongjun and couldn't find the location of Zixiao Palace!
Those who can come here are the most representative.

Each of them understands the Tao differently, and the content they understand from Taoist Hongjun's sermons is also completely different. Only after they return to the ancient times, Taoism will truly blossom.

These thoughts just flashed through Li Anran's mind, and his whole mind was once again immersed in the sermons of Taoist Hongjun.

Ten thousand and eight hundred years have passed by like a fleeting moment.Li Anran didn't even notice when Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun left.

It was not until Taoist Hongjun stopped preaching and another thousand years passed that Li Anran woke up from the state of enlightenment.

However, the powerful people in Zixiao Palace, including the six saints who led the Sanqing Dynasty to lead Zhunti Nuwa, did not perform as well as Li Anran, and they did not gain as much as Li Anran!
This is not to say that Li Anran's understanding has surpassed that of these six future saints.

But because it was the first time for the Six Saints to come into contact with the way of cultivation, they started from scratch, from nothing to something.

Li Anran has been practicing for many years and has learned countless skills and spells through the Book of Punishing Evil. He knows that he can gain something from every bit of what Taoist Hongjun said.

After Taoist Hongjun and other great masters in Zixiao Palace woke up from their state of enlightenment, he informed them of the time of the next sermon. He also said that if they had free time, they could open a forum to preach, and they would gain merit by doing so. Let them leave Zixiao Palace.

After this first sermon, all the great masters also knew how powerful Taoist Hongjun was and the gap between themselves and Taoist Hongjun.

When leaving, they were respectful and held disciple's rituals one after another.

After leaving, they also followed the instructions of Taoist Hongjun and opened forums one after another to preach and earn merit.

Kunpeng is no exception.

After leaving Zixiao Palace, he returned directly to Beiming. While he was meditating on the avenue that he had not yet fully understood, he was giving sermons to the creatures in Beiming.

Most of the other great powers are like this.

Many of them are the ancestors of a clan, and they originally had the intention to compete for the hegemony of the ancient times and replace the status of the three clans of dragon, phoenix and unicorn.

However, after listening to Taoist Hongjun's teachings, I just feel that a new world has opened up, and I am completely uninterested in these mundane matters. In addition to practicing in seclusion, I only want to earn merit by giving lectures.

Among these powerful people, some care more about the descendants of their own clan. For example, the Qingqiu Fox Clan chose to let the Qingqiu Fox Clan defect to the Demon Court.

But more often than not, they don't care about the life and death of the descendants of their own ethnic group, they only focus on attaining enlightenment and becoming saints, and regard them as a tool to earn merit.

This was cheaper for Donghuang Taiyi and Dijun.

By the time Taozu Hongjun gave his second sermon, the Demon Clan Heavenly Court established by Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun was well-deserved. During this period, they even suppressed the Qilin Clan, the former leader of beasts, and took away Mount Buzhou.

But these have nothing to do with Kunpeng at this time.

All his thoughts were focused on attaining enlightenment and becoming a saint and earning merit.

This situation lasted until Taozu Hongjun's third and final sermon.

After this sermon ended, Taoist Hongjun did not inform everyone of the time of the next sermon. Instead, in front of all the great masters, he accepted Sanqing as his direct disciple, Nuwa as an ordinary disciple, and Jie Yin. In order to be a registered disciple, Zhunti also bestowed upon him six paths of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

Although Taoist Hongjun didn't say it clearly, everyone could guess that this Hongmeng Purple Qi was related to enlightenment and becoming a saint.

All the powerful officials looked at Sanqing and the others who were bowing respectfully to Taoist Hongjun and their eyes were full of joy. They were extremely jealous and regretful that they had not arrived earlier and grabbed these six seats.

Patriarch Hongyun has a good temper, but when it comes to matters of enlightenment, he also regrets that he gave up his seat out of a soft heart.

As for Kunpeng, who was forced to give up his seat, he was gnashing his teeth in hatred, looking at the eyes of Jie Yin Zhunti and Hongyun Patriarch, as if they wanted to eat people.

This gnashing of teeth turned into a strong greed and murderous intention after Daozu Hongjun gave Patriarch Hongyun another beam of Hongmeng Purple Qi.

But at this time, Kunpeng's city was already very deep——

In other words, since Taoist Hongjun preached in Zixiao Palace and three thousand guests from Zixiao Palace preached in the ancient world, the spiritual intelligence of all living beings has been greatly improved, and the entire ancient world has begun to get rid of the straight and straight muscles in the past. The age of kings.

Kunpeng, as one of the best, kept his emotions and anger to himself, and hid his greed and murderous intentions deeply in his heart.

However, any fool can guess his resentment towards Jie Yin Zhunti and Hongyun Patriarch. The more calm he is, the more it shows that he has not given up.

Zhen Yuanzi was worried that something would happen to Patriarch Hongyun, so he forcibly brought Patriarch Hongyun back to Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain.

Kunpeng failed to find an opportunity, so he could only give up temporarily and returned to Beiming to continue practicing.

Until the Six Saints relied on the Hongmeng Purple Qi to achieve enlightenment and become saints, Patriarch Hongyun couldn't help but feel anxious. He ignored Zhen Yuanzi's persuasion and traveled around the ancient world in search of opportunities.

As a result, before he found the opportunity, he was attacked and killed by Kunpeng.

At the critical moment of life and death, Ancestor Hongyun directly broke through the space and threw the Hongmeng Purple Qi into the chaos. He merged his soul into the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd and fled in the opposite direction.

At that time, Kun Peng had not yet developed the magical power to separate Kun and Peng's bodies, so he chose to search for the Hongmeng Purple Qi in the chaos.

But, not found.

When he looked back, he learned the news that Ancestor Hongyun was rescued by Zhen Yuanzi.

Because Ancestor Hongyun had many contacts, Kunpeng was worried about being retaliated against, so he took refuge in the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, which was recruiting troops, and gradually became a Demon Master.

"Stealing the chicken will end up losing the rice. Kunpeng is unlucky enough!"

Li Anran then thought about the reality in which Patriarch Hongyun and Zhen Yuanzi teamed up with Tianting to deal with Kunpeng. He could only say that Kunpeng was so unlucky that he even lost his underwear.

As for Kunpeng's subsequent affairs in the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, Li Anran was not interested at all.

Even if it involves the secrets of the ancient demon clan's heaven.

Li Anran only hated that the Book of Punishment did not have a skip function when he browsed his life for the first time. Now he just wanted to read Kunpeng's life quickly, then turn around and listen to Taoist Hongjun's sermon.

Compared with the Sanqing sermons I have heard before, the Great Dao taught by Hongjun Taoist is truly a high-level and all-encompassing one.

Li Anran was not sure whether he had understood one thousandth of it.

However, these did not fulfill Li Anran's wishes. He didn't dare to agree or not. Kunpeng's life continued to progress.

Soon, he saw Jie Yin personally appearing in Beiming. With the general trend of Xuanmen's inevitable rise and the position of deputy leader of the Western Sect, he persuaded Kunpeng to betray Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, step by step intensifying the conflict between the Lich and the Demon clans. , triggered the final decisive battle between the two Lich clans, and both sides suffered losses.

Kunpeng was greedy when Emperor Jun asked him to hand over Hetu Luoshu to him, and fled to Beiju Luzhou with Hetu Luoshu and a group of remnants of the ancient heaven, and established the Demon Master's Mansion.

Things after that were lackluster and nothing major happened.

Until the Heavenly Court mobilized troops to attack the Demon Master's Mansion, Kunpeng was besieged by the Daluo Jinxian and became a prisoner and was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison.
