Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 489: You, the Lu family, won’t be united unless you have filial sons and daughters, right?
"Uncle?"

Ji Ren looked at Guang Chengzi who was standing there in a daze and exclaimed in surprise.

Uncle, what are you doing now?

Now that we have escaped from the space vortex, let’s go back.

"We may not be able to leave here for the time being. This is not the Fire Cloud Realm, but the Secret Realm of the Heavenly Dao." Guangchengzi said.

"The Secret Realm of Heavenly Dao?"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ren showed shock on his face. From ancient times to the present, no one has ever entered the secret realm of heaven. Even the clones without cultivation could not enter it. But now, the two of them came in?
Coming in already?
Is it because of the Investiture of the Gods and the Divine Whip?
Or was it that the appearance of the List of Gods and the Divine Whip was originally a bug, and then he and Guangchengzi seized this bug and passed through the firewall of heaven?

Ji Ren couldn't figure it out for a moment, and looked at Guang Chengzi apologetically and said, "It was my disciple who was reckless."

If you don't choose to leave, you may be able to get out.

“Not really. The fact that you were able to come in proves that your idea is right. The power of your Heavenly Eye is beyond my expectations. You will be able to use the Four Spiritual Secrets better than me in the future.” Guangchengzi said with a faint smile.

Ji Ren didn't find the right path, but at least he found the way. He didn't even find the way.

Moreover, no immortal had ever entered the Secret Realm of Heaven, and now that he had become the first person to do so, he found it extremely interesting.

As for the danger?

Within the secret realm of heaven, there are no immortals and he is invincible.

Just getting out might require some effort.

But it doesn’t matter. If he really can’t get out, he can just hand over the burden to his master Yuanshi Tianzun.

My master is Yuanshi Tianzun!

At worst, I can just shout “Master, save me.”

“Then next, let’s take a walk around here and look for some people who have condensed the Dharma image. If they succeed in condensing the Dharma image, they will be squeezed out and we may be able to get out.” Ji Ren suggested.

In addition, he could also look for Qiao Qingyu and the others. They have been here for such a long time and have not shown up, so he was worried.

But he couldn't get in, and now that he's in, it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Guangchengzi nodded slightly and led the way.

Ji Ren followed closely behind, protecting Guangchengzi in front of him, keeping his eyes and ears open, while secretly observing the scene in this secret realm of heaven.

At first glance, there's nothing special.

It's mediocre, and the spiritual energy isn't even as rich as that in the Fire Cloud Realm.

However, the special thing is that the spiritual energy here has an inexplicable golden glow, as if it is good fortune.

Guangchengzi and Ji Ren walked along the way, and they didn't know how long they had been walking.

Suddenly, a tiger roar was heard, and a strong wind blew. On the distant hillside, a thousand-foot-tall white tiger with a pair of wings flew over. It looked down at Guangchengzi and Ji Ren with a cruel look, as if it was looking at its food.

"Flying Tiger with Wings, Half-Immortal?" Guangchengzi's expression was a little subtle. He hadn't been looked at in this way for many years, let alone by a half-immortal monster.

However, the Flying Tiger had no idea how dangerous this Taoist priest in front of him was. He only felt that the two people in front of him were flawless, full of immortal aura without any impurities. They were more attractive than all the mortals he had seen in recent days and more nutritious than thousand-year-old elixir, making him unable to help but want to make a move.

It had an intuition that if it could eat these two people, it would be able to transcend the shackles of blood and complete the evolution of its blood.

The biological instinct made him even more greedy. Looking at Guangchengzi and Ji Ren approaching, he controlled the strong wind without thinking and rushed down. In an instant, the wind blew violently and the sky and the earth became dark.

The flying tiger with wings swooped down with great momentum.

Then Ji Ren raised his head, without even using his Heavenly Eye, he just glanced around, and then two rays of divine light shot out from his eyes, instantly piercing through the body of the Winged Flying Tiger. Blood splattered everywhere, and the Winged Flying Tiger died instantly on the spot. Its body turned into ashes and dispersed with the wind, leaving only a diamond-shaped crystal stone emitting a faint golden light at the scene.

Ji Ren showed a curious look on his face. He moved his fingers slightly, and the diamond-shaped crystal flew into Ji Ren's hand. The crystal emitted a faint golden light and was clear throughout, just like the Dragon Crystal of Luck. However, compared with the Dragon Crystal of Luck, this crystal was clearer and the luck inside was stronger. "A gold-grade Dragon Crystal of Luck is better than ten ordinary Dragon Crystals of Luck in the mortal world. It can improve the grade of a mortal's Dharma image, from a mortal to an immortal, or learn the location of a higher-level Dharma image." Guang Chengzi glanced at it and said.

Although he had never been here, he still had some understanding of the things in the secret realm of heaven.

After all, these things are recorded in the Chan teachings.

“So, it’s a good thing.” Ji Ren smiled and put it directly into his pocket.

"This dragon crystal is prepared for mortals. You are an immortal, and you take it without permission. This is considered competing with the mortals here and breaking the rules." Guangchengzi said when he saw this scene.

“I also think this is inappropriate, but since ancient times, no one has ever entered the secret realm. Today, my uncle and I entered the secret realm. I think it was arranged by God. God has bestowed a great mission on my uncle and me. We are now accumulating more treasures to prepare for the future.” Ji Ren said.

God’s arrangement is the greatest, and we should follow his will.

Hearing Ji Ren's words, Guang Chengzi smiled helplessly and said, "It's up to you, it's up to you."

Ji Ren grinned and followed Guang Chengzi, killing monsters along the way and obtaining luck dragon crystals. They killed monsters and demons, but they still hadn't found anyone, but they had accumulated a lot of luck dragon crystals.

According to Ji Ren's guess, if so many luck dragon crystals were placed in the mortal world, Guan Yan's Dharma image could be directly promoted to Guan Sheng Emperor, saving him the journey to immortality.

However, if one wants to improve Yang Jian's Dharma image, it is still far from enough and requires further efforts from several people.

After walking for a long time, Ji Ren didn't meet Qiao Qingyu and the others, and he didn't even meet anyone. When he was wondering in his heart, suddenly two strong lights shot towards the sky from the front, and two tall phantoms of Dharma images condensed at the same time.

One is a statue of a divine general with a strange appearance, long beard flying behind his head, phoenix eyes, and drooping eyebrows. He is wearing golden armor and holding a golden chisel and a reed pestle. He is majestic and looks murderous. What is particularly noticeable is that he is riding a five-colored divine bull with a murderous aura that frightens the demons and ghosts.

One is the statue of Tai Sui, with a ferocious face, three eyes, and wearing armor. He is filled with dark clouds and murderous aura, and has three heads and six arms. He holds a Fang Tian Hua Ji in front of him, and a pair of male and female swords in his left hands, and a Fan Tian Seal and a Luo Hun Bell in his right hands, all of which are magical treasures. He has a fierce aura and has the power to subdue demons and monsters. His power is even greater than that of the gods and generals beside him.

Ji Ren looked at the two statues with a subtle expression. He didn't expect that when he came here, he would actually find these two statues that were famous in the Conferred Gods.

The first Dharma image is Huang Feihu, the King of Wucheng.

Huang Feihu, the former number one military general of the Shang Dynasty, was named King Wucheng by King Zhou. Later, because his wife's sister was killed, he fled to the Western Zhou Dynasty and became the founding King Wucheng of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

He is a character that is highlighted in The Investiture of the Gods, and he performed the Investiture of the Gods version of "passing five passes and killing six generals".

He has a rich drama role, and it is even more amazing when he is deified after his death. He is canonized as the Great Emperor of Dongyue, in charge of the good and bad fortune of heaven and earth and the human world. He is also given an imperial decree to be in charge of the eighteen levels of hell in the underworld. All the transformations of life and death, humans, gods, and ghosts must be checked by Dongyue before they can be carried out.

The second statue is Yin Jiao, the Tai Sui of the year.

The eldest son of King Zhou, he was originally the crown prince of the Shang Dynasty. Unfortunately, King Zhou was bewitched by a fox demon, and deposed the emperor and killed his own son. He was later rescued by Guangchengzi, but after coming down the mountain, he was persuaded by Shen Gongbao to break his oath, obstruct the attack on King Zhou, and was finally executed.

He was not as deified as Huang Feihu after his death, but in terms of his status during his lifetime, whether it was the crown prince of the Shang Dynasty or the only direct disciple of the eldest disciple of the Chan sect, his status was higher than Huang Feihu's King Wucheng.

It is worth mentioning that outside of The Investiture of the Gods, Nezha, whose real name was Jin Nezha, successfully killed his biological father.

Ji Ren opened his third eye and looked curiously at the cultivator who was condensing the Dharma image, wanting to see who condensed it. The value of these two Dharma images was not low, and it would be best if he could recruit them.

But when he saw the other person's identity clearly, his expression suddenly became subtle.

One is Changsheng’s great-grandfather, Duke Su, and the other is Lu Shang’s biological father, Duke Wen!
The relationship with Changsheng, the great-grandfather, is a bit complicated.

After all, Changsheng Dharmakāya is Huang Tianhua, the son of Huang Feihu, so the Dharmakāya is a father-son relationship, and the Dharmakāya itself is a grandfather-grandson relationship.

That's fine, we just call each other by our own names anyway.

However, what Duke Wen said was a bit too much.

Does this really mean that the father and son will join the Chan sect together and call each other brothers?

Moreover, your Lu family is really not the image of a "filial son", so you won't be united, right?
