Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 505: The Demon King Jiao is causing trouble? Erlang kills the Jiao! (Two in one)

"Your Majesty, calm down."

Seeing the Jade Emperor's rage, Taibai Jinxing was shocked. He did not dare to read the contents of the memorial like the Queen Mother did. He could only hurriedly bow and persuade her.

"Calm down? If I calm down again, I'm afraid these four seas will no longer belong to me." The Jade Emperor looked domineering, waved his sleeves, and a stream of spiritual power surged, sending the memorial to Taibai Star Lord.

The four seas are vast, and contain countless treasures and living creatures.

It has belonged to the dragon clan since ancient times. The four dragon kings are in charge of the four seas and have the power to establish their own governments and appoint and dismiss immortals and gods.

The Heavenly Court provided checks and balances, with twelve water kings set up in each sea, for a total of forty-eight water kings. In name, they were under the four dragon kings, but in fact they supervised the four dragon kings.

The Jade Emperor became the Heavenly Emperor after the previous calamity. For a very long time, all the creatures in the three realms had no respect for this Heavenly Emperor.

The Jade Emperor went to great lengths to train his own team, and then used his own team as the main force and the gods on the List of Gods as the auxiliary force to govern the Three Realms, thus establishing the prestige of the Emperor of Heaven.

But the Jade Emperor spends most of his time taking over the heavens and the four continents, and his control over the four seas is already limited. Lingyu Water God of the North Sea is the water god closest to him. Lingyu's death exposed too many problems.

Taibai Xingjun took it and looked at it. His face suddenly changed, showing shock. He said quickly: "Your Majesty, think twice. The Jiao Demon King is not a concern, but the Jiao Demon King is behind the Jie Sect. The situation in the four seas is already linked to one move, and now it is the time of the immortal killing calamity, so we must be on guard."

If the Jiao Demon King was just the Jiao Demon King, he could be killed with a snap of a finger, but behind the Jiao Demon King is the Bull Demon King, and behind the Bull Demon King is the Master Tongtian.

The Demon King Jiao was being too presumptuous this time. If they act rashly, what would greet the Heavenly Court would be the counterattack of the entire Jie Religion.

Climb the mountains and cut off the sea.

The Yuxu Palace of the Chan sect is located on Mount Kunlun, and the Biyou Palace of the Jie sect is located above the East China Sea.

What is good above is effective below.

Therefore, when the disciples of the two sects, Orthodox and Jie, chose their temples, they all followed the example of their leaders. The disciples of the Orthodox sect mostly chose famous mountains, such as the Nine Immortals Mountain of Guangchengzi and the Jade Spring Mountain of Jade Ding Zhenren, while the disciples of the Jie sect mostly chose their temples on an island in the vast ocean, such as the Three Immortals Cave of the Three Sky and the Golden Ao Island of the Ten Heavenly Lords.

So, in other words, the overlords of the four seas are basically the Jiejiao immortals.

What is even more subtle is that the styles of the two major religions are the same as the temples they choose.

The Chan religion is like a mountain, well-ordered, attaches great importance to dignity, and is strict in accepting disciples. Not only does it examine the cause and effect karma of disciples in this life, but it also examines their three generations of direct relatives, and even the karma of previous lives is included in the examination.

Putting aside the requirements for talent, it is much stricter than recruiting gods in heaven. After all, heaven also has the practice of recruiting gods.

The Jiejiao is like the ocean, embracing all rivers and welcoming everyone. It does not care about your past life, your origin, or whether your parents are evil demon kings. As long as you have the right talent and destiny, you can come in.

As a result, there are many disciples in Jiejiao, and they are a mixed bag.

There are indeed people who remain untainted by the mud, people who turn over a new leaf, and even worse, people who rise from the ashes and achieve enlightenment. These people have seen the ugliness of the world and the fickleness of the world, and in the end they often achieve extraordinary results.

But there are more people with bad character, who act recklessly, are unruly and think that they are the greatest in the world.

These people are the most troublesome.

They are spread all over the world, doing whatever they want. They have the name of immortals, but their actions are demonic, and they are not bound by the laws of heaven.

If you encounter trouble, you can find a cave of Jiejiao to hide in. Ordinary gods would not dare to search.

It would be even more troublesome if it was taught by Jiejiao himself.

In the mortal world, no official shall be punished.

In the fairy world, punishment does not apply to the true teachings of the three religions.

Once caught, the three religions will take them back and punish them themselves.

This is the tacit rule of the three religions. Even the Chan sect, which is the most hostile to the Jie sect, supports the Jie sect on this point.

As for the punishment from the leader of Jiejiao, it is better not to mention it.

For now, the Dragon Demon King deserves to die, but we still need to think twice about how to deal with him.

Especially this critical juncture of the immortal killing calamity.

Those fearless guys are capable of doing anything.

"My dear minister, there is no need to say more. The Shangqing people don't take care of these evil creatures in Jiejiao, so I will take care of them. Since it is a killing calamity among the immortals, it is time to eradicate these evil creatures." The Jade Emperor said with a cold face.

"The situation in the four seas affects the whole body. If we want to move, we cannot just move one Jiao Demon King. And the person in charge has to face more than just one Jiao Demon King. Who should be chosen to lead this matter?" Queen Mother Wang looked at the Jade Emperor and asked the most crucial question.

If we attack the Demon King Jiao at this point in time, the people of Jiejiao will most likely have different ideas. Some people will even continue to encourage the theory of threat from Heaven and let the entire Jiejiao fight against Heaven.

As we all know, when the other party suspects that you want to destroy them, you'd better actually have the ability to destroy them.

So if you want to take action, you have to take the whole situation into consideration.

But who should be chosen to be the pioneer?

King against king, against general.

The Jade Emperor cannot come out until the Master of Heaven appears.

Even the Queen Mother and the two emperors cannot leave, otherwise, the Daluo Jinxian who has not participated in the Jiejiao will probably come in just to catch his breath.

After all, there is a group of people within Jiejiao who, although they themselves do not commit crimes, do not allow others to touch their people. They think that this is trampling on their people. They must fight, and the fittest will survive, and the strong will prevail.

This also leaves some room for this fight to turn around.

As long as the Jade Emperor and the Taoist Master Tongtian do not intervene personally, then even if there is a big quarrel, the grudges can be forgotten with a smile.

But if it ends, there will be no end to it.

And if the Golden Immortal of Great Luo does not come out, there will be no suitable Golden Immortal in the Heavenly Court who can take the position.

These great demons who have learned from the Jiejiao have practiced for many years and have developed their own magical powers. They all live in water and are proficient in water battles. They are familiar with water-related magical powers. Under the vast ocean, their cultivation level is greatly increased. Some people who are not familiar with water battles may be defeated by them, let alone killed or even captured alive.

And if he really goes there, the opponent he will face is not just the demon king in public.

Take the incident in the North Sea for example. Although the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas are only kings of the four seas in name, no matter how weak they are, they are not weak enough to be humiliated and trampled upon by the Dragon Demon King.

Moreover, how did the Demon King Jiao know the whereabouts of the King of the North Sea and set up an ambush in advance?

If you look closely, you will find that the water inside is terribly deep.

The East Sea Dragon King, the leader of the Four Dragon Kings, is a frequent visitor to the Biyou Palace.

In this situation, if an ordinary Golden Immortal went there, he would be seeking death.

"Father, let me go. I am of noble status, they dare not do anything. Moreover, I have obtained Princess Longji's Four Seas Bottle and Dragon Binding Rope, which can restrain water creatures." Zhang Yuchan said. Next, the one who does this thing not only needs ability, but also status. She is of noble status, and no one dares to touch her.

If something happened to her, the Jade Emperor would be furious and take action, and no one in the entire Jie Religion could bear the consequences.

The youngest saint is also a saint.

What's more, this saint is the nominal ruler of the three realms.

The Master of Tongtian could defeat him, but he could only defeat him and could not kill him.

They all have nuclear weapons, and when it comes to the bottom line, he has every right to bomb the Jiejiao Sect, and Tongtian Sect Master has nothing to say.

"No, you just came back, and your father can't bear the pain of losing you anymore." The Jade Emperor refused without hesitation.

Zhang Yuchan’s identity is enough, but her ability is not enough!
If we really fight with them, it will only affect one place at most, but it won't affect the overall situation and we won't be able to accomplish this goal.

Can only save life.

But saying this would hurt his daughter's feelings, so the Jade Emperor was more tactful.

"But who else can you choose besides me?" Zhang Yuchan said.

The Jade Emperor frowned slightly when he heard this. It's not that he didn't do anything over the years. On the one hand, he used the disciples of the orthodox sect to suppress the sect, and on the other hand, he promoted many gods who dared to confront the evil sect. However, it was not enough to deal with the current situation.

"If there is no one, I do have a candidate." The Queen Mother suddenly looked at the Jade Emperor with a smile.

"Who?" The Jade Emperor asked curiously. He and the Queen Mother had the same manpower. Was there anyone under the Queen Mother's command that he didn't know about?
"When the dragon demon causes chaos, naturally we have to kill it. Have you forgotten that Erlang killed the dragon?" Queen Mother Wang chuckled.

“Are you talking about Erlang Shen, the disciple of the Chan sect who survived the Purple Sky Tribulation? That can’t be possible. He has only been practicing for a short time. I’m afraid he is still a Yuanxian now.” The Jade Emperor shook his head.

The identity is sufficient, but the cultivation is not enough.

“No, an eighth-level True Immortal, with his bare hands and without any magic weapon, killed a sixth-level Mystical Immortal Buddhist Arhat. And I feel this is not even his full strength,” explained the Queen Mother.

“An eighth-level True Immortal killed a sixth-level Profound Immortal? Hasn’t he only been practicing for eight years? To reach the eighth level of True Immortal in eight years is truly a peerless talent. No wonder he could attract the Purple Sky Tribulation.” Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor showed shock on his face for the first time.

"That's right, and I don't think he used his full strength. With this level of cultivation, according to Yuqing's character, he will definitely reward him with spiritual treasures. If he encounters a Golden Immortal without spiritual treasures, he can also defeat him. And there are not many Golden Immortals in Jiejiao who have spiritual treasures." said the Queen Mother.

Lingbao is not like cabbage on the street. Not to mention the Golden Immortal like Jiao Demon King, even few of the Seven Immortals have spiritual treasures.

"In this way, given time, I will be able to conquer the world." A gleam of light flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes. Now that his fighting power is so strong, what if he is given another hundred years?
Conquering the four seas is not a matter of a day or two, and the Jade Emperor has enough patience and can wait.

After all, a hundred years is just a blink of an eye for him.

"If he is willing, it may not even take time." Queen Mother said, "He has a very special position in the Chan Sect. From what I saw today, he and Guangchengzi were almost walking side by side, and Guangchengzi didn't care at all. He secretly communicated with Nanji Xianweng, and Nanji Xianweng didn't care either. This would make sense in Jie Sect, but it doesn't make sense in Chan Sect."

The Jiejiao sect was not particular about trivial matters, and it was common for the second-generation disciples and the third-generation disciples to call each other fellow Taoists, but it was different in the Chenjiao sect.

The Chan Sect is the orthodox Taoist school that emphasizes etiquette and respect for elders.

"Almost walking side by side with Guang Cheng Zi?" The Jade Emperor was surprised when he heard this. He was the emperor supported by Yuan Shi Tian Zun and was most familiar with Yuan Shi Tian Zun. This specialness could not be simply described as love for a younger generation. After thinking for a while, he said, "In this case, his status in the Chan Sect may be higher than we expected. Then his fate will be the fate of the Chan Sect. All problems will be solved. He is indeed a perfect candidate."

"But why would the new Erlang Shen of the Orthodox Sect take action? Although there will be a war between the Orthodox and the Jie Sect in the end, according to the news from the Fire Cloud Realm, the person who condensed the image of King Zhou has fallen into the hands of the Jie Sect. In other words, even if they did not get the List of Gods, they were in charge of the first half of this catastrophe, and their luck must have greatly increased. The Orthodox Sect usually does not become an enemy of the Jie Sect at this time." Taibai Jinxing on the side spoke at the right time and raised the key question.

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what you said makes sense, but what should we do if others don’t agree?
As the third generation chief of the Chan sect, you have the right to say no.

Once you take on the mission, you will be fighting on the front line of the battlefield. What do they want?
Want the rights of the King of the North Sea?
As the third generation leader of the Chan sect, he doesn't even want the position of Sea God.

"Ordinary people won't do that, but he is different. Erlang killed the dragon and has the authority to control water. During his practice, he will inevitably have to deal with water monsters. And considering the relationship between the Chan and Jie sects, as long as the fight starts, we won't even need to push for what happens next." A confident look appeared in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

"No, there is no need to be so troublesome. If you choose him, you can arrange it now. Do you really think that Jiejiao can sit back and watch such a genius develop?" The Jade Emperor moved his fingers slightly, and a memorial flew out of the mountain of memorials on the table and landed in the hands of the Queen Mother. "This is it. Not long ago, the water god of Guanjiang was killed, and the God of Plague recommended his junior brother to succeed him, believing that he could slay demons and maintain peace at the mouth of Guanjiang for ten thousand years."

"Why didn't you recommend him earlier or later, but at this time? I'm afraid that the water god of Guanjiang River died in their hands. After all, Jiejiao has never lacked monsters." The Queen Mother sneered as she looked at the memorial.

Although the cause of death of the Guanjiang Water God was apparently unrelated to Jiejiao and he died at the hands of the Demon King, everyone knows that Tongtian Patriarch is the biggest backer of all demons.

Among the four continents, Jambu is the human world, the battlefield of the Conferred Gods Killing Tribulation, and it has no obvious beliefs. Dongsheng Shenzhou respects the Bajing Palace and Yuxu Palace, Xiniuhezhou respects Lingshan, and Uttarakuru has the worst spiritual energy, with poor mountains and bad water, and many demons, and it respects the Biyou Palace.

The Taoist temple of Master Tongtian is in the East China Sea, but he does not reject the beliefs of the Northern Continent of Julu because these demon kings are enemies of the Chan sect, which he likes.

"Just to stop Ji Ren from further practicing, you killed the Water God of Heaven. You really don't take Heaven seriously." Zhang Yuchan said with cold eyes.

“It’s a deal, but also a threat. Give them the position of the Water God, and they will appropriately slow down their offensive. Otherwise, there will be unrest in the world. As the master of the three realms, I will have karma on my body.” said the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor is the master of the three realms. Theoretically speaking, the stronger the heaven and earth and the stronger the heaven is, the stronger he is.

And conversely, the weaker the rule of Heaven, the weaker he becomes.

"This trend cannot be allowed to continue." Queen Mother said firmly.

"So we have to borrow the power of the Chan Sect." The Jade Emperor said, and then looked at Taibai Jinxing and said, "My dear, please come down to the mortal world and confer Guan Yan the title of the fifth-level Guanjiang Water God, and inform Yu Jiren of the current situation of Guanjiang."

It is better to provoke the general than to invite him, and it is better to make the general beg him than to provoke him.

Both Chan and Jie are tigers, and Tianting is slightly weaker, so let's switch gears and let Chan and Jie fight first, and then the choice will be back in his hands.

Now, Jiejiao is ready to take action against you. Can you endure this?

I'll give you a legitimate chance.

"Guan Yan?" Taibai Jinxing was a little confused. Who is it?

"Daoist friend Ji Ren is in the Fire Cloud Realm. You take my imperial edict with you and make sure first whether they want it, and then announce it. Huang Long is here too, and when the time comes, you can pretend to say something to him unintentionally, saying that Jiejiao is getting bigger and intends to unify the world. I am extremely distressed, but I am powerless. I intend to establish a second-level water god, who will be above the four dragon kings and in charge of the water in all corners of the world, and also have the job of slaying demons and eliminating monsters. It's just that I lack capable people." said the Jade Emperor.

"I obey your order." Taibai Jinxing immediately understood and accepted the order gladly.

The Jade Emperor smiled slightly and said, "They took action first and are about to unify the world. How can you just stand there and do nothing?"

"Let's put the Dragon Demon King aside for now." said the Queen Mother.

"He's just a clown. Let the Five Pole War Gods under my third brother go and beat him so that he won't show up again for a hundred years." The Jade Emperor said calmly.

The good food will be served slowly; the life or death of the Dragon Demon King is not that important.

However, the power of Heaven must be shown. The Jiao Demon King has overstepped his boundaries. Even if Heaven cannot kill him, it must demonstrate its strength to the North Sea. Otherwise, there will be more such troubles in the future.

"Okay, you think about these things. I will prepare for the Peach Banquet. After this Peach Banquet, the next one might be after the killing calamity." The Queen Mother chuckled and turned away with Zhang Yuchan.

The Jade Emperor stayed where he was, smiling, looking towards the Fire Cloud Realm. “Choose Guanjiang as your first battle. If you win this battle and this calamity, I will let you reach the top.”
