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

Chapter 214: Mirage Dragon's Great Wish, Incarnation of Ksitigarbha

Like previous emperors, after coming to power, Jie took many actions to prove his talent and strength and achieved remarkable achievements.

For example, he led the human army to recapture various tribes, quell civil strife, and stabilize Daxia.

He also encouraged farming, developed the army, vigorously promoted martial arts, and even perfected martial arts to the level of true wonderland.

In the beginning, he did make considerable achievements and was worthy of the title of Human Emperor.

Just as Jie was governing the human race and improving the lives of his people, a baby was born in the mall.

He was born extraordinary. He learned to walk at the age of half a year, could communicate normally, often said shocking things, had wonderful ideas, and his energy and blood were far beyond that of children of the same age.

Interestingly, before his mother became pregnant, she dreamed of a black bird frolicking by the Tangshui River and bringing an egg to it. Soon, she became pregnant.

Because of this mysterious dream, his mother named the baby boy Tang.

Tang has been smart since he was a child, and his grandfather has high hopes for him.

When he was six years old, he was brought to his grandfather and taught by his grandfather himself.

His grandfather was the previous lord of the mall. He was knowledgeable and had a high level of cultivation.

With the personal guidance of such a great sage, Tang grew up very quickly. He was not only extremely wise, but also proficient in agriculture, sericulture and military tactics.

He also has profound moral character and never bullies others by taking advantage of his power. Instead, he is strict with himself and lenient with others.

He also has extremely high qualifications in the path of cultivation.

Not long after he started practicing, he had already begun to awaken the Xuanniao bloodline.

With the power of his blood and his extraordinary physique, in just three hundred years, Tang's cultivation level broke through to the Xuanxian level.

Because of his Xuanniao bloodline, his body is stronger than that of other practitioners.

So he took the path of cultivating both immortality and martial arts, and now he is a war immortal with a powerful body.

Tang was able to awaken the bloodline of the Xuanniao not only because his mother dreamed of the Xuanniao delivering a child, but also because Tang’s ancestor was Qi.

Qi was a great sage of the human race, and had worked under Emperor Shun and Dayu, two of the common leaders of the human race.

He was in charge of education and was quite wise. Because of his achievements, Emperor Shun gave the land of Shang to Qi.

Speaking of which, Qi's birth is even more mysterious than Tang's.

Qi's mother was Jian Di, the daughter of Youxu clan, and the second concubine of Emperor Ku.

Once when she returned home to visit her relatives, she went out to bathe with two other women from the same tribe. By chance, they saw a black bird laying eggs and then leaving.

Xuanniao is a legendary divine bird, and its eggs are extraordinary, containing tremendous energy.

Jian Di was delighted and put the magic egg away.

Later, Jian Di consulted ancient books and swallowed the mysterious bird egg.

Unfortunately, she found that there was nothing magical about it. She did not make a breakthrough in her cultivation, nor did she awaken any magical power, nor did she undergo a complete transformation. It was as if she had swallowed an ordinary bird egg.

It was not until she had an affair with Emperor Ku and became pregnant that she understood the effect of the magic egg.

Later, Qi was born successfully and became the ancestor of Tang.

Therefore, Tang's lineage originally had the blood of Xuanniao and could enjoy the legacy of Emperor Ku and the fortune of Xuanniao.

It’s a pity that bloodline inheritance is not something you can get just because you want it.

Over the past tens of thousands of years, most of Tang's father and grandfather awakened the bloodline of Emperor Ku, and only a handful of them were able to awaken the bloodline of the Black Bird.

Tang was extremely lucky to be able to awaken the Xuanniao bloodline after so many years.

With two major bloodlines, Tang has great potential and a bright future.

Since he achieved celestial immortality, his grandfather's efforts in training him have gradually increased.

All kinds of precious resources are leaning towards Tang, and he is beginning to be involved in the governance of the mall.

Except for being a little awkward in the beginning, as time passed, Tang gradually became proficient in handling various affairs in the city.

In the end, we were not only able to solve the problem properly, but also point out some shortcomings and provide more efficient solutions.

Because he brought forth new ideas and improved the system, and he was clear about rewards and punishments and consistent in his words and deeds, his prestige gradually grew in the mall and surrounding city-states.

Time flies, and a thousand years have passed. Tang's cultivation has also entered the realm of true immortal.

His performance over the past thousand years won everyone's recognition and he was named the Young Lord of Shangcheng.

At the same time, during this period, Human Emperor Jie firmly established his position as Human Emperor and began to enjoy the power that came with being Human Emperor.

He ordered people to select beauties from all over Daxia and bring them to Yangcheng.

He even sent a letter to Qingqiu Kingdom, hoping to follow the example of his ancestor Dayu and marry an orphan girl to deepen his ties with the fox clan.

at the same time.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long woke up from his enlightenment, walked out of the secret room, called his disciples and explained the great way to them.

Since tens of thousands of years ago, Huang Long would preach the great truth to his disciples every once in a while.

The Queen Mother of the West and Minghe have already reached the level of quasi-saints, and have both embarked on alternative paths to enlightenment. Improving their realm is by no means easy, but they have also gained something.

Huang Long's understanding of the Great Dao cannot be compared even to that of the Heavenly Dao Saint.

Every time after listening to Huang Long’s explanation, the two of them had considerable insights and their Taoism was improved to varying degrees.

If this is the case for these two quasi-saints, the changes in others are even more obvious.

Among them, white rice and mirage dragon have the biggest changes.

They had already achieved the perfect cultivation of Daluo Jinxian long ago.

During the period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, they gained a lot of merit and fortune for the human race.

More than a thousand years ago, Bai Mi and Shenlong's cultivation advanced further and they became true quasi-saints!

Apart from these two, the changes in the others were equally obvious.

Lingxi's current cultivation has already reached the perfection of Daluo Jinxian.

With the road Huang Long had paved for her, if nothing unexpected happened, it would not be difficult for him to become a quasi-saint.

Among the three Xiaos, Yunxiao has the highest cultivation level, having reached the late stage of Daluo Jinxian. Zhao Gongming is slightly worse, but he also entered the late stage of Daluo Jinxian two thousand years ago.

Bixiao and Qiongxiao also have the cultivation level of the middle stage of Daluo Jinxian, which is considered to be an upper-middle level even if they are placed under the tutelage of a Heavenly Dao Saint.

Whether it is the Three Sky or Zhao Gongming, compared with the time traveler's memory, they are much better choices than joining Jiejiao.

As for how far they can go in the future and whether they can achieve the quasi-saint status, it depends on their own luck.

What Huang Long can do is to pave a path for them to become quasi-saints, just like Lingxi did. As for whether they can complete this path, it depends on themselves.

Even the Ziwei Star God has now jumped out of the long river of fate and become a Daluo Jinxian.

After the sermon, Huang Long taught everyone how to refine the Star God Flag.

Over the years, Huang Long has refined corresponding star flags for 14,800 auxiliary stars.

However, it is obviously unrealistic for Huang Long alone to refine the remaining billions of stars.

Therefore, he decided to entrust this task to his disciples.

Although Bai Mi and others' cultivation is not as good as Huang Long's, they are still considered to have high cultivation in the prehistoric world and can stand on their own.

In addition, the quality requirements for the star flags corresponding to the remaining stars are not too high, as long as there is a medium-quality acquired one, the requirements are met.

With the strength of Bai Mi and others, it would be easy to accomplish this.

Therefore, Huang Long's intention was to let Bai Mi and others be responsible for this matter, but he did not ask them to do it themselves.

As long as he could refine a Star God Banner of at least mid-level acquired quality, it would be fine. As for whether he should refine it himself or find someone to help, Huang Long had no strict requirements.

As for whether Bai Mi and the others would expose Huang Long's plan if they asked someone to do it for them, he was not worried at all. Because it was not a secret in the first place, as long as the Heavenly Dao Saint was not blind, he would discover his actions and know his arrangement in the endless starry sky.

Therefore, he was not worried about being discovered while refining the Star Flag and arranging the Star Array.

As long as the changes in the innate gourd vine are not noticed by the Saint of Heaven, that will be enough.

The innate gourd vine was placed in Guixu, which was Huanglong's territory, and he was watching it all the time. Even Hongjun could not notice anything.

After explaining the matter of refining the Star God Banner, he took a step forward and arrived in the endless starry sky.

Just like the 365 main flags, after he refined the 14,800 auxiliary flags, he placed them in the corresponding stars to nurture them.

And on these stars, corresponding formations including the spirit gathering formation were arranged.

Now the time is ripe, it is time to take away these star flags and increase the scale of the star formation.

Rumble——!
Accompanied by a loud bang, fourteen thousand eight hundred star flags were placed by Huang Long at designated locations and turned into fourteen thousand eight hundred dazzling stars.

From then on, the power of the Star Array increased greatly.

The 14,800 auxiliary stars are truly connected to the 365 main stars.

As the stars move, a large amount of star power flows into this small world, and is then converted into chaos gas by the Chaos Furnace, making this world increasingly larger.

There is no doubt that with the addition of 14,800 auxiliary flags, the star formation will be able to draw in more star power from the endless starry sky.

The evolution speed of the innate gourd vine also became faster.

The next step is to increase the number of star flags little by little and continue to expand the scale of the star array.

But this process cannot be accomplished overnight and requires a long time.

……

Time flies, and hundreds of years pass in the blink of an eye.

this day.

Huang Long called Shenlong and said to him, "The time has come," and then let him leave with a strange beast.

This strange beast is called Di Ting. It combines the images of many beasts in one body and the grace of many creatures into one.

It has a tiger head, a single horn, dog ears, a dragon body, a lion tail, and unicorn feet. It can identify all things in the world by hearing, and is especially good at listening to the voices of all things.

After leaving Guixu, Shenlong took Di Ting into the depths of the underworld.

This is where the Eighteen Levels of Hell are located. Mirage Dragon has stayed here for tens of thousands of years and is already very familiar with it.

But this matter was of great importance, so he did not take it lightly, but instead went into seclusion to adjust his state of mind.

Until a thousand years later.

The mirage dragon suddenly opened its eyes, and the hell of endless suffering also shone brightly at this moment.

Countless divine lights containing the power of purification shone brightly. The mirage dragon, dressed in a black robe, sat cross-legged on a ninth-grade white lotus and slowly rose into the air.

Under the illumination of the infinite divine light, a large number of evil spirits were forcibly liberated.

Some of them turned into pure yin energy and death energy amidst their shrill wails to feed the underworld.

Some of them shed their resentment, and while they screamed in pain, their expressions gradually changed from ferocious to peaceful, and finally the resentment was gone and they regained consciousness.

Looking up at the ball of white light in the sky, gratitude and admiration appeared in his eyes.

Such a huge commotion naturally alarmed many gods in the underworld.

In Fengdu City, the Emperor of Fengdu opened his eyes, his gaze passed through the eighteen levels of hell, looked towards the Avici Hell, and then looked towards Guixu, his heart filled with amazement.

In the dark river, Minghe looked towards the endless hell with a smile on his face.

The Five Ghost Emperors and the Four Hades also cast curious glances.

Under the gaze of all beings in the Netherworld, the Mirage Dragon had a solemn expression, made a hand gesture to save people, exhaled and spoke, and solemnly swore an oath.

"The way of the earth is above, I am a mirage dragon, I feel that the netherworld is incomplete, all living beings are extremely evil, and all worlds are full of suffering."

"I have taken this body to sit in the Avici Hell, and take the name Ksitigarbha, to save all sentient beings and evil spirits in the world. I will not attain enlightenment until hell is empty. I hope the Ksitigarbha will bear witness to my words!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the underworld suddenly became silent.

No matter if it is a powerful god or a ghost messenger running errands on duty.

When the gods and ghosts heard the mirage dragon's great wish, they all fell silent.

No one expected that the Mirage Dragon would be so cruel to him!
Once this great wish came out, it was equivalent to that Mirage Dragon would no longer have the possibility of attaining enlightenment.

Unless the Avici Hell is truly empty, he will never be able to attain enlightenment.

But the Hell of Unending Suffering gathers the most evil ghosts in the world. As long as the evil thoughts in the ancient times continue, the hell of evil ghosts will continue to emerge.

Trying to solve this problem and fulfill this great ambition is as difficult as it is for a mortal to ascend to heaven.

But on second thought, they couldn't help but sigh that this method was very wonderful.

In such a vast universe, how many people can achieve enlightenment?
The saints of the Heavenly Dao and the Earthly Dao, as well as some great and powerful beings in the prehistoric times like Zulong who were reclusive, are just as good as each other.

Although Shenlong's great wish has no chance of attaining the status of a saint, it can still gain him a great deal of merit and greatly improve his cultivation.

Once he truly accomplishes his great ambition, he will be able to immediately attain sub-sagehood and become the strongest being below the saint.

Boom!

Before the beings in the Netherworld could give it much thought, the underground responded by bestowing a great deal of merit.

The moment the merit entered his body, Mirage Dragon's cultivation began to rise rapidly.

The bottleneck that had seemed like a barrier to heaven in the past was easily broken, and he successfully cut it open and his cultivation level was further improved.

Even so, the merits have not been completely consumed, and the Mirage Dragon's cultivation is still continuing to grow. Although the speed has decreased, it is more stable.

Although it would be difficult for him to cut off his future body and enter the late stage of quasi-sainthood with these merits, they were enough to stabilize his cultivation.

"Welcome back to Ksitigarbha!"

After everything calmed down, all beings in the netherworld sent their congratulations.

At the same time, Zhen Yuanzi, Kunpeng and other great powers of the ancient times also felt something and understood what had happened. They bowed from afar to the underworld to express their congratulations.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long's eyes are always on the mirage dragon.

Seeing the mirage dragon emit Hongyuan, his cultivation will be further improved, and there will be no worries about reaching the late stage of quasi-saint in the future, and there is hope for perfection.

If he could complete Hongyuan, he would have the hope of achieving another kind of enlightenment, and a look of relief appeared on his face.

On the other hand, the feelings of the saints of the Heavenly Dao were quite complicated.

Huang Long's disciples were all so outstanding. When he thought of his disciples, he suddenly felt ashamed.

Especially the two saints from the West, their mood was mixed.

In the past, when they attained enlightenment, they did not have enough merit and made forty-eight great vows. These were marked by the Heavenly Dao and needed to be repaid.

Otherwise, sooner or later, they will suffer backlash and fall from their holy position.

Some of their ambitions are related to the underworld, and they want to save all the evil spirits in the world.

Now that this has happened again, it will become even more difficult for them to fulfill their vows.

Originally, they wanted to use their own strength to steal some of the power of the underworld to accomplish this task.

But later they found that with Huang Long watching, they couldn't even sneak into the underworld, let alone steal the authority of the underworld.

They now know very well that if they want to fulfill their vow, they have to cooperate with Huang Long...
