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

Chapter 226 Mysterious Shadow, Abnormal Sacrifice
Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

When Zishou became the new emperor of the Shang Dynasty and became Emperor Xin, Huang Long felt a sense of it and showed some anticipation.

Emperor Xin's accession to the throne meant that the curtain was about to officially begin on the Conferred God Ceremony.

He was very curious about what kind of sparks would be created between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi, the Chan Sect, the Immortal Path, and the Guixu lineage.

With the help of the tunnel, Emperor Xin could not be as foolish as the time traveler remembered.

In such a situation, will humanity still favor Xiqi? Will the Shang Dynasty still fall into ruin?

Huang Long was doing two things at once, practicing while keeping an eye on Emperor Xin's condition.

Time continued to rush forward in this process, and in the blink of an eye, a hundred years had passed.

During this period, Emperor Xin married Huang Feihu's sister, which was different from what the time traveler remembered.

On the one hand, it was because the current Shang Dynasty was powerful enough to intimidate the princes and border tribes, so there was no need to give up the position of the main wife and marry into the princes.

On the other hand, Huang Feihu's sister is Qiong Xiao's disciple, belongs to the Guixu lineage, and is a Xuanxian herself, so she deserves to be his wife.

In addition, during the conquest of the Dongyi, Emperor Xin and Concubine Huang fought side by side for many years and had long since developed a secret crush on each other. It was not surprising that they were now getting married.

this day.

Emperor Xin was handling government affairs as usual when a civil official suddenly stepped out.

"Your Majesty, it will be the birthday of Nuwa soon. She is the mother of the human race and a saint of heaven. She has countless merits and virtues, so we should worship her properly."

His proposal was not out of the blue, as he would make it every once in a while.

Nuwa has a very high status among the human race. Every human emperor will find a suitable time to worship Nuwa and pray for the people of the human race.

But the outcome this time will be different.

Shang Rong, who was standing by, also stepped out and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, Niangniang Wa is the Holy Mother of the human race. We must worship her. This is a tradition that has been passed down for many years."

"But Saint Huanglong is the Lord of the Netherworld and the God of the Country. He has also made significant contributions to the stability of the human race."

“Without the Yellow Dragon Saint, the human race would have to go through more hardships and suffer greater losses to reach its current heights.”

"Your Majesty, I beg you to come to the Guixu Temple outside Chaoge City. There is not only a statue of Nuwa, but also a statue of Huanglong."

"If we offer sacrifices to both together, the human race will be blessed by heaven and earth!"

Huang Long is the master of Ziwei Star God. Emperor Xin has awakened his memories of past lives, so naturally he would not object to the proposal to worship Huang Long.

So, Emperor Xin agreed to Shang Rong's proposal.

Since we are going to hold a sacrifice, we might as well offer sacrifice to all the saints to avoid being accused of favoring some over others.

The emperor's tour is extraordinary.

With Emperor Xin's order, the entire Chaoge city began to move.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Looking at the result, Huang Long showed a bit of amusement.

In the memory of the time traveler, there is no such saint as Huang Long, and the influence of the underworld on the human race is not that great. Naturally, it is impossible for a priest or an underground saint to appear.

Since the memories of the time traveler belong to the future, Huang Long cannot tell anyone.

Therefore, Emperor Xin had no idea what kind of disaster this sacrifice to Nuwa would bring him.

However, nowadays, the sacrifice has changed from worshipping Nuwa to worshipping the saints.

Huang Long wanted to see if the strange wind would blow again when Emperor Xin offered sacrifices to the temple? Would Emperor Xin suddenly become deaf again?

……

A few days later.

Guixu Temple.

The ceremonial guard and most of the soldiers were left outside the temple, and Emperor Xin walked in with civil and military officials and his personal guards.

Initially, Wu Ding built the Guixu Temple to worship the Yellow Dragon.

Later, with the continuous expansion of Guixu Temple, the influence of other saints' disciples on successive human emperors.

Gradually, more statues of the Six Saints of Heaven and Hou Tu appeared in the Guixu Temple.

These statues were placed in the Temple of All Saints, which was also the place for this sacrifice.

After a solemn sacrificial ceremony, Emperor Xin took the incense sticks, bowed personally, and offered sacrifices to the saints, praying that they would bless the human race with good weather and a good harvest.

The sacrifice to the Human Emperor is extraordinary.

The saints soon sensed something and sent down their divine thoughts.

When they saw the idols being offered, they were astonished but also found it interesting.

But at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the temple, lifting the veil in front of the two female saint statues, revealing the true faces of the two female saints.

Nuwa and Houtu were both extremely beautiful, but these were just statues of gods after all, so their faces appeared a little blurry.

Even for someone who is completely dominated by his lower body, it is impossible for this to go to his head.

But under the influence of this evil wind, Emperor Xin's originally clear eyes suddenly became blurred, with a hint of obsession.

It seemed that there was a force influencing him.

next moment.

His soul burst into a dazzling purple light, and a star appeared in the sky at this time.

It is the Ziwei star that is protecting Emperor Xin. It is the Ziwei star's essence deep in his soul that is protecting him!
At the same time, the luck of humanity and the luck of the earth erupted, jointly fighting against the strange power that invaded the soul.

This power was very strange. The other saints only felt a trace of consciousness and did not notice this change.

The only exception is Huanglong!

He is the teacher of Ziwei Star God, and has the most connected destiny with Emperor Xin.

As his qi moved, he immediately felt something.

So, in the Temple of Saints.

The yellow dragon statue suddenly opened its eyes and burst into brilliant divine light.

Under the cover of light, the strange force was finally defeated and began to retreat.

Seeing Huang Long's actions, the saints gradually realized that something was wrong.

Hou Tu descended upon the statue without saying a word, and the true form of the Ancestral Witch appeared behind him, holding a giant axe in one hand and the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk in the other.

There was murderous aura all around him, and cracks appeared in the surrounding void.

Such a scene made all the saints slightly stunned. Then they remembered that Hou Tu was an ancestor witch before she reincarnated and became a genuine saint.

And he is the most unreasonable Ancestral Witch. When he disagrees with something, he reveals his true form and uses the Three Axes of Creation.

Afterwards, Nuwa and Taiqing also came here.

One of them is the Holy Mother of the human race, and the other is the Lord of the Human Religion. The human race's aura was turbulent, and they soon discovered something unusual. The two statues also released infinite divine light.

The Jiejiao is now connected with the destiny of the Shang Dynasty, and the Shangqing Saint follows closely behind.

The same was true for Yuanshi Tianzun and the Two Saints of the West, although these people did not know what exactly happened.

But thinking that Huang Long always had an ulterior motive in doing things, he followed suit.

In just a short moment, Emperor Xin returned to normal.

That strange power was crushed by the combined efforts of all the saints, and the storm was overcome safely.

But because of this incident, the Six Heavenly Saints discovered that Emperor Xin was the reincarnation of Ziwei Star God, which surprised them. What surprised them was not that Ziwei was reincarnated as Emperor Xin.

After all, Huang Long is a genuine saint and the absolute ruler of the underworld. If he wants to make someone go to a certain place, isn't it just a matter of a word?

What they really didn't expect was that Huang Long would actually let Ziwei reincarnate as Emperor Xin.

They all knew that this time the calamity of the Conferred Gods would fall on the human race.

No matter who it is, if they can't avoid the catastrophe, how could Huang Long take the initiative to get in this direction?
But soon, their attention was no longer focused here.

The Conferred Gods War will be based on the changes in human dynasties. According to their calculations, Emperor Xin will be the last emperor of the Shang Dynasty.

But now Ziwei has been reincarnated as Emperor Xin, and this trajectory seems to have undergone some subtle changes.

Under Emperor Xin's governance, the Shang Dynasty showed no signs of collapse.

If Xiqi rebelled at this time, they would not be righteous armies but traitors.

This is the best way to make Xiqi’s uprising legitimate.

The best thing to do was to secretly do something to Emperor Xin, let him do ridiculous things like Jie, and ruin the future of the Shang Dynasty.

But the scene just now made them realize that it was difficult to do so.

With the blessing of humanity and authentic luck, even if they are saints, it is not an easy task to influence Emperor Xin without anyone knowing.

What's more, Emperor Xin was Huang Long's disciple. With Huang Long watching over him, these things became even more difficult.

If you act rashly, not only will you fail, but you will also alert the enemy.

In addition, they also had some guesses about the source of the strange power just now.

Looking at the entire prehistoric world, there is only one person who can do this.

The six Heavenly Dao Saints had different expressions, and no one knew what they were thinking, but in the end they all pretended they knew nothing and withdrew their gazes.

The same thing happened to Huang Long and Hou Tu, and peace returned to the Holy Temples once again.

Emperor Xin looked at the statue whose divine light had disappeared, and his heart was filled with relief.

Fortunately, he chose to offer sacrifices to the saints, otherwise without Huang Long's timely help, the consequences would be disastrous, and even the Great Shang Dynasty would most likely be destroyed in his hands.

Thinking of this, Emperor Xin was extremely angry at the person who had acted secretly, but he was also full of doubts.

This is the holy temple where saints are worshipped. Who dares to take action here?
Moreover, judging from the situation just now, the person who took action is probably not simple and may also have the fighting power of a saint.

But in the ancient world, there are only a few powerful people with the fighting power of saints. Who would choose to take action at this time?

Thinking of this, Emperor Xin's face changed slightly and he dared not think any further.

He bowed to Hou Tu and Huang Long, and performed the same ceremony to the Six Saints of Heaven. Then he left the Temple of Saints with the civil and military officials who were both surprised and delighted.

Next, he seemed to have forgotten what had happened before, and led his ministers to offer sacrifices to the Emperor of Fengdu, the Fairy of Mingyue and the God of Mingri.

These were all great gods of the underworld who had equal status to Emperor Xin. Emperor Xin knew the importance of the status of the Human Emperor, so he simply performed ordinary greetings to these ghosts and gods of the underworld.

Afterwards, he ordered his ministers to pay respects to other gods of the underworld on his behalf.

After a lot of trouble, Emperor Xin returned to Chaoge City with his civil and military officials.

After some time, the news of what happened during Emperor Xin's sacrifice to the saints gradually spread.

However, it is impossible for outsiders to know the inside story.

They could only see that after the Human Emperor offered sacrifices to all the saints, the statues of the saints shone brightly.

They believed that Emperor Xin had been recognized and blessed by all the saints, and protected by heaven and earth. He was the first emperor of the Shang Dynasty and would definitely accomplish great things.

Because of this, Emperor Xin gained the wholehearted support of civil and military officials.

With their unremitting propaganda, the news quickly spread throughout the Shang Dynasty and beyond, intimidating eight hundred princes and many foreign races, and winning the hearts of the people.

No one disbelieved what they said.

On the one hand, it is because no one dares to use saints as a gimmick.

On the other hand, the Guixu Temple is indeed shining brightly.

There were many strange phenomena, such as purple air coming from the east and auspicious clouds lingering around, stretching for billions of miles and covering most of the Shang Dynasty. Billions of lives witnessed this scene.

Because of this incident, the Shang Dynasty showed no signs of being its last dynasty.

On the contrary, his prestige soared and was at its peak, comparable to the reigns of Wu Ding and Shang Tang, and his fortune was flourishing.

Although the eight hundred princes and many alien races coveted the throne of the Human Emperor, under such circumstances, they could only choose to be honest and wait and see.

Later, when Emperor Xin learned about this, he was greatly surprised. Naturally, he would not expose this lie. After all, the advent of the saints was an indisputable fact.

……

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long didn't care about the exposure of Emperor Xin's true identity.

Even if this incident had not happened, when the Conferred God Tribulation began, Heaven would naturally be able to see Emperor Xin's true identity.

Anyway, Emperor Xin has become the emperor of the modern era. Even if the saints of heaven do not want to see this result, this matter cannot be changed.

At this moment, he was not in the mood to pay attention to the affairs of the human race. His attention was all focused on a dark shadow in the underworld.

This is a mysterious being whose cultivation is comparable to that of a Second Heaven Saint, or even surpasses it by some points.

The strange and evil wind in the Temple of All Saints was caused by him.

Hou Tu looked at the black shadow and without saying a word, she took out the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk and smashed it towards the black shadow.

"Sneaky thing, why don't you show your true form at once!"

The tunnel was created because of Hou Tu, so in the underworld, the increase in power Hou Tu received was even greater than that of Huang Long.

Even her current cultivation level is only at the middle stage of the second level of Sainthood.

But in the netherworld, it is enough to display the perfect cultivation of the second level of saint.

The black shadow was indeed powerful, but seeing Hou Tu's unreasonable look, he did not dare to take it head-on.

The Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk is a special spiritual treasure that is no weaker than an innate treasure. After being fully activated, it can force a person to reincarnate.

Even that black shadow was unwilling to experience the feeling of reincarnation in the battle.

Once you fall into reincarnation, all your magic power will be greatly reduced, and you will become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Seeing that the black shadow had been avoiding fighting, Hou Tu became even more angry and immediately revealed the true form of the Ancestral Witch.

On the right hand, the shadow of a giant axe appeared, and cracks appeared in the surrounding space.

But this is not the end yet. She gently threw the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk with her left hand into the shadow of the giant axe, and it turned into a sharp axe blade.

Huang Long was shocked when he saw this scene.

Although Hou Tu has been quiet for so many years, her nature has not changed and is still the same as before.

If she were to chop down with this axe, the underworld would be split in half, creating a permanent passage connecting the underworld and the prehistoric world.

Huang Long had been managing the underworld for so many years before he had given the underworld its own order, allowing all creatures in the ancient world to understand the difference between life and death and to be full of awe for the underworld.

If a permanent passage really appeared between the Netherworld and the Great Wilderness, he would have to spend a lot of time to perfect the order.

He immediately took out the Chaos Bell and tapped it lightly with his fingers. A melodious bell sound resounded throughout the Netherworld, strengthening the space of the Netherworld.

The Chaos Bell has been in Huang Long's hands for many years, and with the relationship with Donghuang Taiyi, he has long been able to use this innate treasure like his own arm.

With his cultivation level of the third level of sainthood, he could activate the Chaos Bell with all his strength, which was enough to ensure that the underworld would not suffer too serious consequences after being struck by Hou Tu.

But he did not stop and looked at the black shadow...
