Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 488 Entering the Secret Realm of Heaven
"The List of Gods and the Whip of the Gods were conquered by my nephew?"

Guang Chengzi looked at Ji Rendao in surprise.

Going in by yourself, does this mean you recognize the master voluntarily?

But this is not reasonable.

Don’t the List of the Gods and the Divine Whip only recognize those who are deified to meet the calamity?

“That should be the case.” Ji Ren said uncertainly, his mind moved, and a flash of light passed in front of him, and then the List of Gods and the Divine Whip appeared. Moreover, unlike the violent ones just now, the List of Gods and the Divine Whip were now floating quietly in the air, and were unspeakably docile and well-behaved, suddenly changing from a ferocious tiger into a docile little lamb.

Ji Ren held the divine whip and could feel the blood connection even more. At this moment, he felt as if he had mastered the rules of heaven and earth. If he met an ordinary immortal, it would be fine, but if he met an immortal with a divine position, even if he was not on the list of gods, he could beat him with a whip and make him doubt his life.

Then Ji Ren's heart moved slightly, and the List of Gods and the Divine Whip automatically returned to the Heavenly Eye.

"Junior brother, is your Dharma image really that of Erlang Zhenjun?" Guangchengzi asked uncertainly.

"Definitely and definitely." Ji Ren nodded.

Although he now has three prime ministers and two Dharma ministers, none of them is Jiang Ziya.

It can’t be that my third Dharma form wants Jiang Ziya, right?
To be honest, Ji Ren didn't think much of this Dharma image.

Generally speaking, the style of historical figures will be improved after they are deified.

Guan Yu is a typical example. He was only the Marquis of Han Shou Ting during his lifetime, but became Guan Sheng Emperor after his death. And Han Qinhu became the King of Hell after his death.

But there are always exceptions. For example, the mortal Li Jing is invincible, while the mythical Li Jing dare not see his son without a tower. But if we talk about the difference, the biggest one is still Jiang Ziya.

In history, Jiang Ziya was incredibly strong. He came out of seclusion at the age of 72 and led the Western Zhou Dynasty to destroy the Shang Dynasty. He was capable of both civil and military affairs, and was in charge of both politics and military affairs. He assisted four generations of Zhou kings. Not only did he stabilize the Zhou Dynasty, he also made his own fiefdom, the Da Qi, prosperous, laying the foundation for the Dong Qi to become one of the Five Hegemons of the Spring and Autumn Period and even one of the Seven Kingdoms of the future Warring States Period.

Taoists revere him as their ancestor, military strategists worship him as the ancestor of martial arts, and Confucianism, Legalism, and the schools of diplomacy all vied to claim him as their own, and he was recognized as the grandmaster of all schools of thought.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Temple of Martial Arts, he was a true Martial Saint.

But in The Investiture of the Gods, not to mention his mediocre fighting ability, the key point is that there is no sign of any wisdom at all.

Moreover, even if we don’t mention this, the character of Jiang Ziya in The Investiture of the Gods is completely inconsistent with the previous two Dharma images. Yang Jian is okay, after all, he is the uncle, but the real boss in Ji Ren’s palace now is Gonggong.

Ji Ren was certain that if Jiang Ziya's Dharma image moved into his third palace, it would undoubtedly be crushed by Gonggong's Dharma image.

"In this case, my nephew will be blessed with great fortune." Guangchengzi chuckled. The specific key is not important. There are variables in every killing calamity. The Emperor of Heaven can be replaced, so what if the person who conferred the gods is replaced?

In any case, the List of Gods and the Divine Whip belong to the Chan Sect.

In this calamity, the Chan school has taken the initiative.

The initiative of how the play will proceed lies in their hands.

“If it weren’t for uncle’s magical powers to open up a space channel, even if I could see the List of Gods and the Divine Whip, I would only be able to sigh in despair and be helpless. How could I get the List of Gods and the Divine Whip? Now that this is accomplished, the credit should go to uncle.” Ji Ren said politely.

"Junior apprentice brother, you are so humble." Upon hearing Ji Ren say this, Guang Chengzi showed some joy on his face, and he looked at Ji Ren with more and more fondness. What a good disciple! It's a pity that he is not my disciple. Yu Ding is really lucky. If he could get such a disciple, what would be wrong with giving up his cultivation and going to the mortal world to experience some tribulations?

"It's not advisable to stay here for long. Uncle Master, let's leave as soon as possible and return to Biyuan Mountain." Ji Ren reminded.

Although we have obtained the List of Gods and the Divine Whip, it is still safer to return to Kunlun. Otherwise, if they are robbed again, the consequences will be disastrous.

"My nephew is right." Guangchengzi nodded slightly, and the male and female swords in his sleeves fluttered, with a sharp and fierce aura, forcefully splitting the space, and he was about to take Ji Ren back to Biyuan Mountain.

But after Guangchengzi slashed down with both swords and the void broke, the space became even more chaotic and the nodes were in a mess.

Ji Ren looked at Guang Chengzi with a little confusion. This seemed to be wrong.

Normally, shouldn't we be leaving now?

"It seems that because of the disturbance in the rules of the List of Gods and the Divine Whip just now, the spatial nodes here are a bit disordered." Guangchengzi explained.

Golden Immortals can travel freely through space, and their speed is far faster than that of ordinary immortals.

But traveling through space does not mean you can reach a place directly just by thinking about it.

It is necessary to use great magic power to break through the space, then determine the space node, and then form a short space channel between yourself and the space node you want to go to, and go directly through.

So although they are all traveling through space, the speeds of different Golden Immortals are different.

Those with high levels of Taoism can go directly from the first node to the last node, while those with lower levels of Taoism need to go through a few more nodes. Of course, the method is also very important.

And now, in order to obtain the List of Gods and the Divine Whip, the two of them rushed too fast and now fell into a space crack. There were no space nodes around them, and the place was in chaos, with only turbulent space airflow.

With Guangchengzi's cultivation level, he is not afraid. With his level of Taoism, ordinary space turbulence cannot destroy him. At most, he will be trapped in another place. He will be able to break out sooner or later. But Ji Ren is different. Ji Ren's cultivation level is relatively low. If he goes in like this and dies in there, not to mention how he will face Jade Ding Zhenren, Guangchengzi himself will be embarrassed to return to the Chan Sect.

"disorder?"

Ji Ren opened the third eye on his forehead and looked in all directions. He saw a special energy invisible to the naked eye surging in the void. Is this the space element?

"That's right, but don't worry, nephew. With uncle here, we can definitely get out." Guang Chengzi said confidently. As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of light flew out from his sleeves and turned into an ancient bell, floating above Ji Ren's head to protect his safety.

The Soul-Falling Bell is the second-ranked magical weapon in Guangchengzi's hands. It is used for protection and has extraordinary power.

"Space is mysterious. Even if you become a Golden Immortal, you can only glimpse a fraction of its mystery. I'm afraid only Daluo can truly understand it. It's too early for you to comprehend the truth now, but the truth is one thing, the law is another, and the technique is another. The saints in the heavens have created wonderful methods that can help people solve the most common spatial fluctuations. The magic of my teaching is the Four Spirits Technique. You can slowly memorize it..."

Guangchengzi was talking to Ji Ren with a smile, his eyes sweeping around, a faint golden light surged on his fingers, and he drew talismans in the air. A huge talisman emerged and hit the void, emitting an inexplicable power that made it impossible to look directly at it.

"Tao gives birth to one, and one is the root. The root of the Four Spirits Technique is also in this first talisman, which is the root of time." Guangchengzi introduced the subtleties of the spell to Ji Ren while performing the spell.

Ji Ren nodded continuously, with the third eye on his forehead fully open, paying attention to the changes in the surrounding space.

The void was turbulent, earth, water, fire and wind emerged, and inexplicable space elements surged. However, the originally chaotic space elements became docile under Guangchengzi's talisman, and he secretly admired him in his heart.

Looking at Ji Ren's expression, Guangchengzi looked satisfied and cast another talisman to ease the fluctuations in space and sort out the key.

Finally, Guang Chengzi cast forty-eight talismans in succession, shaking the void. Then Guang Chengzi drew the last talisman and said, "Nephew, cast this last talisman on the last Qian position, and the surrounding space will be stable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guangchengzi cast his last talisman. Then Ji Ren saw that the space element that had originally calmed down suddenly became agitated, and the talisman that Guangchengzi had just cast shattered instantly.

Ji Ren tried hard to glance away and pretend nothing happened.

Guang Chengzi's face also darkened slightly, and then he said nonchalantly: "This place is combined with the space of the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, and coupled with the special nature of the Conferred God List itself, it is much more difficult to stabilize the space than in other places. But don't worry, it's not difficult to get out of here."

Ji Ren nodded obediently, expressing his trust in his uncle-master, while secretly observing and learning.

Guangchengzi also immediately used his magical powers to stabilize the space, striving to open up a new space channel.

Then, when he hit the forty-ninth talisman, it would explode with a loud bang, and all his previous efforts would be wasted.

Guangchengzi was confident and eloquent at the beginning, but later on, he didn't want to say a word.

Seeing that Guang Chengzi was about to cast another talisman, Ji Ren couldn't help but ask, "Wait a minute, Master, how about changing to Liwei?"

"Li position?" Guang Chengzi frowned slightly and said, "My nephew, according to the key of the Four Spirits Sutra, this position should be Kun position. If there is a deviation, Xun position is also possible, but it will not be Li position."

“But uncle, this place is special. It may be contrary to our common sense, right? I have just watched you use the Four Spirits Technique and the Sky Eye to observe the fluctuations of the surrounding space elements. Every time you use the last talisman, the space will vibrate violently and destroy the original seal. And this time, the space energy fluctuations in your Kun position are exactly the same as the previous space energy fluctuations. If you leave the position, it should be better.” Ji Ren said cautiously.

This was the conclusion he came to after witnessing Guangchengzi fail dozens of times.

"What the Heavenly Eye sees, is it out of place?"

Guangchengzi was a little unconvinced and wanted to stick to his own opinion, but he also thought that Ji Ren's heavenly eyes were mysterious and perhaps he could really see things that he could not see. Moreover, he only opened up a space channel when he came to get the List of Gods and beat the Divine Whip. Apart from that, he had no merit at all. He had to respect Ji Ren as a meritorious official. Thinking of this, he threw the last talisman towards Li.

I thought that even if I failed, it would be good to teach my nephew.

However, when the last talisman was cast, in an instant, powerful spiritual power surged, the turbulence in space stabilized, a space node appeared in front of Guangchengzi, and some light came.

Guangchengzi was shocked. He didn't expect it to actually work!
"Uncle!"

Ji Ren quickly reminded, stop looking, and go away!
Guangchengzi finally reacted and grabbed Ji Ren, traveling through the void and passing through a space node. Soon, the stars moved, the void changed, and he could see the mountains and rivers again.

Guangchengzi breathed a sigh of relief and planned to travel through space again to return to Biyuan Mountain. However, after doing so, he discovered another problem. There was no Biyuan Mountain here. This was not the Fire Cloud Realm, but the Tiandao Secret Realm.

Thinking of this, Guangchengzi looked at Ji Ren in disbelief. Throughout the ages, the gods and immortals have committed countless killings, but no one has ever entered the secret realm of heaven.

After all, if he could come in, there would be a great possibility that he would interfere with the inheritor of Jiang Ziya's Dharma image.

But now this iron rule has been broken.
