Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 212: Heavenly Palace Banquet, Conflicts among the Three Religions

Human territory.

Under the rule of Daxia, the lives of human beings became more and more stable.

Although there are occasional internal disturbances, they are quickly suppressed and the overall situation is relatively stable.

If there is any big event, it is that the saints' disciples are gradually preaching among the human race and competing for luck.

The status of the nine-tailed fox clan among the human race has been rising steadily, becoming a totem beast second only to the dragon clan.

Some high-ranking human leaders even suggested that the human totem should be changed to the nine-tailed fox.

The reason is that Qi's mother is the nine-tailed fox Tushan Nvjiao.

The blood of the nine-tailed fox flows in the body of this Great Xia Emperor.

Qi naturally favors his mother's family.

In addition, the Nine-tailed Fox is also a great tribe in the ancient times. If we can form an alliance with it, we can not only consolidate our own rule, but also enhance the strength of the human race.

It is a win-win situation, so Qi of course strongly supports it and promotes the worship of the nine-tailed fox among the human race.

In order to help Dayu control the flood, Nujiao of Tushan lent her own power to the former emperor of man, and eventually she turned into a stone statue.

In addition, he had some complaints about Dayu for passing by his home three times without entering. Even though he was rewarded for his merit in controlling the flood, he never returned to his original form.

It was not until the establishment of the Xia Dynasty that Qi ascended the throne of the human emperor and the nine-tailed fox became widely known among the human race.

Under the influence of the human race's destiny, Tushan Nujiao was able to break free from her petrified state, accepted Qi's commission, and went to Qingqiu.

Although the Nine-tailed Fox Clan was a large tribe in the ancient times, it has never recovered since the war between the wizard and the demon.

Even if Patriarch Tushan survived, the fox clan would still have a hard time surviving, and could only barely ensure the fox clan's normal life in Qingqiu.

Even after Tushan Nujiao married Dayu, with the help of human luck, the situation of the fox clan improved a little.

It was also impossible for the Nine-tailed Fox Clan to recover to its peak period. Now, hearing Qi's willingness to form an alliance, Patriarch Tushan immediately agreed.

He also asked Tushan Nujiao to establish the Qingqiu Kingdom, consolidate the strength of the fox clan, and then form an alliance with the human race.

After the human and fox tribes formed an alliance, many female fox fairies married human fairies.

This process lasted for nine thousand years until Qi passed the throne of the Human Emperor to his son Taikang.

Huang Long didn't care too much about the changes in the human race.

During this period, Huang Long had been in seclusion, comprehending the Great Dao, observing the chaotic small world inside the innate gourd vine, and devoting part of his mind to refining the Star God Banner.

Three thousand years later, Taibai Jinxing personally visited Guixu.

Today, Taibai Jinxing is already a Daluo Jinxian.

He came here for only one thing, which was to deliver the invitation.

It turned out that the Emperor of Heaven had returned after surviving a catastrophe and perfected the rules of heaven, making the heavenly court more powerful, so he specially held a banquet.

Huang Long took the invitation and put it aside.

The only spiritual fruit that the Heavenly Court had on display at this banquet was the five-needle pine, which Huang Long did not find very rare.

In his Yunyin Taoist Temple, there are five top-grade innate spiritual roots, three of which can bear fruit.

They are the Xiantian Renshui Pantao, the Xiantian Huangzhongli Tree, the Xiantian Wudao Tea Tree, and the Xiantian Fusang Tree.

In terms of efficacy, any one of them is as good as the five-needle pine.

of course!

After all, this was an invitation from the Emperor of Heaven. Although he didn't want to go, the disciples of the Yunyin Taoist Temple could go to join in the fun and see the scene.

A thousand years later, led by the Queen Mother of the West, the Yunyin Taoist Temple lineage rode on the clouds to the sky of the nine heavens.

Just like last time, their arrival was received with the greatest courtesy.

After sensing the aura released by the Queen Mother of the West, Taibai Jinxing waited in advance at the South Gate of Heaven to welcome the disciples of the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

Daluo leads the way, this is a treatment that only the disciples of saints and some great powers in the ancient times can have!

This is also the treatment that the Yunyin Taoist Temple deserves.

Even without mentioning the saint Huang Long, the two quasi-saints, Queen Mother of the West and Minghe, who were famous in the ancient times, are fully worthy of this treatment.

Even the other second and third generation disciples of the Yunyin Taoist Temple are enough to attract the attention of the Heavenly Court and win a seat at the Peach Conference.

In the fairyland of Yaochi.

The disciples of the Yunyin Taoist Temple sit in the front row, closer to the front than the disciples of other saints.

Seeing this scene, the saint's disciples felt extremely complicated, with envy and helplessness.

Especially Xuandu, Nan Ji Xian Weng, Guangchengzi, Duobao, Yaoshi and Maitreya, they all had complicated feelings.

They are all the best under the saints, and some have at least reached the late stage of Golden Immortal. With the saints' inheritance, they are not at all inferior even when facing some quasi-saints.

But compared with the Guixu lineage, it is not so eye-catching.

Not to mention the Queen Mother of the West and the Styx, even Bai Mi, Shenlong and Ling Xi are not weaker than them in cultivation.

After the saint's disciples arrived, quasi-saints such as Kunpeng Demon Master and Jiugong Patriarch came one after another.

Each of these people is a guest of Zixiao Palace, and each of them has at least the peak cultivation level of the early Quasi-Saint stage.

After all the guests arrived, there was a flash of light and the Emperor of Heaven appeared on the throne.

"I have met His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven!"

After all, everyone present today is here to attend a banquet, so they still have to observe the proper etiquette.

After Haotian gave a brief speech, he waved his hand and called over the strong men and fairies, who presented them with spiritual fruits, fine wine and five-needle pine.

Kunpeng sat in the front row, looking at Haotian, whose cultivation had surpassed his and who had successfully been promoted to a late-stage quasi-saint. He felt mixed emotions.

Back then, Haotian was just a little Taoist boy in Zixiao Palace, with only the perfect cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

I don’t know how big the gap between him and me is, but now, after so many years, Haotian has surpassed him.

While Kunpeng was feeling emotional, he also knew that he couldn't go on like this.

It is difficult to break through by simply practicing hard, you must look for another opportunity.

After eating and drinking, the banquet was supposed to be over.

But at this moment, the Western sect disciple suddenly proposed to discuss the Dao.

Upon hearing this, Haotian agreed without thinking too much.

There were many people attending this banquet, including disciples of saints and quasi-saints.

If these people could discuss the Dao at the banquet in Heaven, benefiting all the immortals and enhancing the reputation of Heaven, he naturally had no reason to refuse.

Seeing that Haotian agreed, and seeing that the one who proposed this idea was a disciple of the Western Religion, the others did not raise any objections.

Moreover, discussing the Dao itself is also beneficial to oneself.

You can verify your own great way, or you can perfect your own great way through the ways told by others.

Afterwards, the disciples of the Western Religion immediately manifested auspicious clouds, from which starless golden light hung, emitting endless compassion.

It even evolved into visions such as the Bodhi Tree of Wisdom and the Nine-Level Golden Lotus of Compassion, which already have some of the future Buddhist atmosphere.

The disciples of Jiejiao and Chenjiao were not willing to be outdone and they manifested auspicious clouds one after another and performed various mysterious and visionary visions of the great way.

The Shangqing Immortal Light and the Yuqing Immortal Light bloomed brilliantly, the ceiling fell, the golden lotus surged, and the immortal music continued.

They all understood why the Western Religion disciples proposed the discussion, because in the Xuanmen Conference that just ended, the Western Religion suffered another defeat.

The top three places in the Xuanmen Conference were all taken by the three religions of Human, Jie and Chan.

This made the Western Sect feel ashamed, and they were filled with anger, and wanted to regain their position at the Peach Festival. In fact, the immortals of the Jie and Chan sects were right, and the Western Sect disciples did want to take this opportunity to turn the tables.

Because of the dragon and phoenix calamities, as well as the great war between demons, the veins of the West were damaged, spiritual energy was scarce, and the natural resources and treasures of the West could not be compared with those of the East.

Compared with the three religions of Human, Jie and Chan, Western religion has much less appeal to the creatures in the ancient world.

If they cannot reverse the situation and increase the influence of Western religions, their situation will only become more and more difficult.

In the final analysis, all the creatures in the ancient world are cultivating the Great Way.

In the eyes of the Western sect disciples, they were defeated by the three religions because of their lack of skills, spiritual treasures and resources.
But if they were placed in the same environment, they would not be weaker than the disciples of the three religions.

In terms of combat power, the entire Western religion cannot produce a few decent spiritual treasures, so it is naturally no match for the disciples of the three religions.

But if we simply talk about philosophy, they may not necessarily lose.

Discussing the Tao has nothing to do with spiritual treasures. What matters is one's own understanding of the Tao.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long felt something in his heart and opened his eyes to look towards the heaven.

When he saw the saint's disciples in the Yao Chi Fairyland arguing with each other, a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

Discussing the Dao is indeed a good thing. It can bring significant improvement to both those who listen to the Dao and those who participate in the discussion.

But no one expected that at the end of this discussion, the Western Sect, the Jie Sect and the Chen Sect could no longer suppress their anger.

It turned a harmonious discussion into a confrontation of coercion.

Not only did the people present fail to gain anything from the discussion, but the entire banquet was turned into a complete mess.

Not only did it offend Haotian, but it also stuck a thorn in his heart.

This lays the groundwork for the future Conferred God Tribulation.

If this were not the case, even if the evolution of the Heavenly Dao required the return of the gods in Heaven, it would be done in a more gentle manner.

Of course, it is hard to say whether Hongjun’s shadow is behind this.

But no matter what the truth is, Huang Long will not stop it.

Instead, he looked forward to the Battle of the Gods to come as soon as possible. Only then would the saints tacitly split the prehistoric world, and he would have a chance to break through.

heaven.

As time passed, the disciples of Jiejiao gradually gained the upper hand due to their numerical advantage.

The Shangqing Immortal Light not only suppressed the Western Bodhi Divine Light and the Nirvana Immortal Light, but even the Yuqing Immortal Light of the Chan Sect was suppressed by them.

Because of Yuanshi Tianzun, the disciples of the Chan sect look down on the people of the Jie sect from the bottom of their hearts.

He felt that the disciples of Jiejiao were a mob of people who were born from moisture and eggs, and were not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath with them.

But today, they were suppressed by the disciples of Jiejiao, whom they looked down upon. How could they accept this?

Therefore, the disciples of the Chan Sect immediately united with the disciples of the Western Sect and turned around to press towards the Shangqing Immortal Light of the Jie Sect.

When the disciples of Jiejiao saw this, they also became furious and felt that the disciples of Chenjiao were joining forces with Western religion to suppress them.

The two sides already had some grudges against each other, and seeing the disciples of the Chan sect attacking without any concealment, the Jie sect naturally showed no mercy either.

Xuan Du on the side could no longer sit still, and immediately manifested a auspicious cloud and released a vast Taiqing fairy light, trying to stop these people from going any further.

It’s a pity that the three sects of Jiejiao, Chenjiao and Xifangjiao have already become really angry, so how could they just give up like that?

As soon as the Taiqing Immortal Light appeared, it was pulled into the battle by the Jiejiao Immortal.

In the eyes of the Jiejiao immortals, the Western Sect and the Chen Sect have already joined forces, and Master Xuandu of the Human Sect should help the Jiejiao both morally and logically.

Xuan Du naturally did not want to do so, but when the Western Sect and the Chan Sect saw him joining the battle, they regarded him as an opponent and attacked him.

In desperation, Xuan Du could only try his best to reconcile the conflict between the three parties in order not to cause too much impact.

But how can Xuandu alone fight against the three religions?
In the end, the party was ruined by them.

"Humph! What do you think of my heaven?"

Upon seeing this, Haotian's face darkened and he snorted coldly, releasing the pressure of a late quasi-saint, interrupting the fight between the Western Sect, the Orthodox Sect, the Jie Sect and the Human Sect.

The immortals from the four religions also calmed down at this time. They were all shocked, knowing that this had displeased Haotian.

However, they considered themselves to be disciples of the saint and did not take Haotian, the Emperor of Heaven, seriously.

After apologizing to Haotian, they said goodbye and left one after another.

Mount Sumeru, the Pure Land.

The two saints from the West were also paying attention to the Heavenly Palace and knew that their disciples had gone too far this time.

However, the conflict between the two religions also gave them an opportunity.

Their eyes flickered slightly, and I don't know what they were thinking or saying.

Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.

Saint Taiqing shook his head helplessly. He practiced the way of tranquility and inaction, so he didn't care too much about this matter.

But he also understood that if the orthodox and unorthodox sects were allowed to develop as they did, the two sects would eventually become enemies.

So, he sent a message to his two junior brothers, asking them to discipline their disciples properly.

Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.

The Sage Shangqing disagreed with this matter, thinking that although his own disciple was wrong, the Chan sect had a greater responsibility.

As for the message from Saint Taiqing, he responded verbally but did not take it to heart.

The same was true for Jade Purity Saint, although he was dissatisfied with the fact that the disciples of the Chan Sect had joined forces with the Western Sect.

But he also did not think that his disciples were at fault. If the divine light of the disciples of the Jiejiao had not overwhelmed the disciples of the Chenjiao, how could the subsequent events have happened?
……

heaven.

Haotian looked at the backs of the disciples from the four religions as they left, and his expression became increasingly gloomy.

Originally, he thought that after he had survived the catastrophe and returned with complete merit and accomplishment, and with the cultivation base of a late quasi-saint, he would have secured his position as Heavenly Emperor.

In addition, he established the Heavenly Rules, which gave him even more prestige in the prehistoric world.

So they held this banquet in the hope of recruiting a group of talents.

If we could allow those quasi-saints to join the Heavenly Court, it would definitely be a great gain.

But the result?
The banquet had just ended and he didn't have time to say anything before the Western Church proposed a discussion on the Dao.

This was originally a good thing, but not long after the discussion began, it turned into a fight between the disciples of the four religions, and the banquet was turned into a mess.

Seeing this, all the powerful people present had no intention of staying any longer and they all said goodbye and left.

This resulted in Haotian's plan coming to an end before it even began.

He looked at the backs of the disciples from the four religions as they left, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.

In the eyes of these saints' disciples, there is no such thing as me, the Emperor of Heaven!
Sooner or later, I will make you willingly call me the Emperor of Heaven!
"If we can allow these saintly disciples to join the Heavenly Court..."

Haotian's eyes flashed slightly, and a bold idea came into his mind, but in his opinion, this might be difficult to do.

After all, if the saint's disciples are unruly, the saint of heaven will not allow it.

“It would be great if the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Saint could be like the Guixu lineage…”

Haotian sighed helplessly and turned to leave.
