Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

"Disciple Ji Ren pays homage to the Grandmaster."

Ji Ren walked into Yuxu Palace and bowed to Yuanshi Tianzun who was lying on the cloud bed.

"No need to be polite. You are the one who reached the Golden Immortal stage in the shortest time and the youngest age among my disciples. In this respect, you have surpassed your master and your great uncle."

Yuanshi Tianzun sat high on the cloud platform, looking at Ji Ren with a smile on his face.

If you add up all the time of cultivation, it will be less than two hundred years before you can become a Golden Immortal.

With such talent, he can be called the best in the Chan sect.

“It’s all thanks to my master’s cultivation. Without my master’s teachings and treasures, I wouldn’t be where I am today.” Ji Ren did not become arrogant when he heard Yuanshi Tianzun’s praise, but said humbly.

"You passed through Longmen and entered Lei Ze, so you must have seen a lot of things." Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Ji Ren and said.

"How did Grandmaster know?" Ji Ren deliberately showed a surprised expression, and then reacted and said, "Grandmaster, did Grandmaster want me to enter Longmen? Was it Grandmaster's idea?"

“No, but the eldest brother lets you enter Longmen for your own good and for the good of the three realms.” Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"Disciple doesn't understand." Ji Ren was puzzled.

"You don't know what it means for you to have survived the Purple Sky Tribulation. Do you know why your great-grandmaster accepted your two Taoist companions as disciples?" Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Ji Ren and said.

“Disciple, I don’t know.” Ji Ren pretended to be confused.

"Because of the Chaos Demon God." Yuanshi Tianzun spoke slowly and leisurely, which was basically the same as what Laozi said, just as profound and unfathomable.

Ji Ren cooperated in time, showing all kinds of amazement and shock, and said for a long while: "So, disciple holds the Conferred God List and the God-beating Whip in his hand. This time, our Chan Sect will win the Conferred God!"

"Yes, my Chan sect will win." Yuanshi Tianzun nodded with a smile, "However, Chan sect's victory is inevitable, but Lei Ze is different, so the matter of Lei Ze is, in a sense, bigger than the fight between Chan and Jie sects. After all, in the Conferred God Battle, no matter who wins or loses, it is impossible to completely eliminate the other side. And Lei Ze is the one who can transcend."

“But when I entered, I didn’t gain anything. I just saw a stone statue with a human head and a dragon body. It was the Thunder God who appeared when I was overcoming the heavenly tribulation. I felt that this stone statue was different from others, and I wanted to bring it back for my master to see. However, it shattered automatically during my practice, and a lot of power entered my body. Now I have become a dragon body with a human head!” As Ji Ren spoke, the light on his body changed, and his legs turned into a dragon tail, shining with golden light, and an ancient and vicissitudes of life pressure flowed.

To be honest, Ji Ren was a little uncomfortable with the fact that his legs, which he had used for so many years, suddenly became a tail.

After revealing his true form, Ji Ren said to Yuanshi Tianzun: "My disciple has become like this unexpectedly. It is not his will. Please forgive me, Master."

"What crime can be forgiven? Don't say that this is not your original intention. Even if it is your original intention, what does it matter? Do you think that because you are not in human form, I will drive you out of the Chan Sect? For so many years, you still listen to those rumors of the Jie Sect. My Chan Sect looks down on beasts that are born from eggs and covered with fur and horns?" Yuanshi Tianzun laughed when he heard it, "These beasts eat raw meat and drink blood. It is difficult to get rid of their wildness. They kill only based on instinct. Although there are occasionally some with pure natures who are untainted by the mud, they are very few. I really don't like them. After all, you can pan for gold in the sand, but how can you find it in a pit?"

"But if you are really gold and can come before me to prove it, I will accept you. Moreover, you are my disciple of Chan Sect, and your original intention has not changed. What's the harm if you change in a thousand ways?"

"I am ignorant, I beg Master to forgive me." Ji Ren said again. In fact, he knew that Yuanshi Tianzun would not blame him, but he was just going through the motions.

"Okay, your appearance may not be a bad thing. The stone statue you saw should be the ancient Lei Ze Dragon God, who is the source of today's dragon clan." Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"I see." Ji Ren nodded, pretending not to know.

"Besides this, did you see anything else?" Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Ji Ren and said.

“There are many more scenes that I can’t see clearly. I just saw a person holding up the Bagua, and then fighting against countless gods and black shadows. I don’t know what’s deeper.” Ji Ren said.

In front of a celestial being like Yuanshi Tianzun, you can't tell lies. You can just conceal something.

If he was just Ji Ren in this world, he would only say this.

The rest of the technology is a story for another world.

"Eight trigrams, black shadow?" Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly, as if he was thinking.

“Yes, there are some things that I can’t see clearly, but I feel that it’s as if mortals have comprehended the power and are fighting against the disaster.” Ji Ren said.

“Forget it, just keep these things to yourself. Don’t tell anyone else except me, not even your uncles and aunts.” Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"Disciple knows." Ji Ren said.

"Okay, let's go back to Guanjiangkou. Now that you have entered the Golden Immortal realm, it is only natural for you to be the sea god of the four seas. I have discussed with your great uncle-in-law to confer upon you the title of Emperor Dongyin, the ruler of the world's water systems. At the same time, it's time to tidy up your Guanjiangkou. Some idiots are becoming more and more ignorant of their own limitations, and they really think they are going on a journey to the West. It's not easy for me to kill them." Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"The Buddhist sect took action against Guanjiangkou?" Ji Ren's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked up at Yuanshi Tianzun and said.

Because the only ones who benefited from Journey to the West were Buddhists.

These bald monks in Buddhism attacked the people of Guanjiangkou?
“Cihang is here, and the people around you are safe. But the Journey to the West of Conferred Gods is about to begin, and we have more and more conflicts with Biyou Palace. Those people in the Buddhist sect are getting more and more presumptuous under the guise of the prosperity of Buddhism, and they are determined to take over the South China Sea completely. Naturally, there will be conflicts with those people under your command.” Yuanshi Tianzun said.

"Disciple understands, they want to die! Disciple will send them to hell." Ji Ren said coldly.

“Sending them to the underworld to listen to Ksitigarbha’s lectures can be considered as fulfilling their fellow disciples’ friendship.” Yuanshi Tianzun said lightly.

"Disciple accepts the order."

Ji Ren saluted Yuanshi Tianzun, then after receiving Yuanshi Tianzun's instructions, he turned around and left Yuxu Palace.

For the people in the Buddhist sect, the issue of the Avici Sword has not been completely resolved, and yet they are still coming.

Okay, if I hadn’t become a Golden Immortal back then, I wouldn’t have been able to kill you. Now that I’m a Golden Immortal, I’m invincible under the Daluo.

When pressed to the limit, he pulled Gonggong's clone over and exchanged one for one above Daluo.

I give you face.

After Ji Ren left, Yuanshi Tianzun did not stay in Yuxu Palace. The void around him surged and then he disappeared out of thin air.

When he appeared again, he was outside the Zixiao Palace.

In Zixiao Palace, Patriarch Hongjun was not surprised. After letting Yuanshi Tianzun in, he slowly asked, "What did Ji Ren encounter in Lei Ze?"

Yuanshi Tianzun told the truth.

When Patriarch Hongjun heard this, his heart moved slightly. Does he know all this?
Not bad. (End of this chapter)
