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

Chapter 227 Hongjun is defeated, the saint's thoughts

Both Huang Long and Hou Tu had guessed the identity of the mysterious black shadow.

Looking across the ancient world, there are only a few creatures that have such strength.

In addition, since he dared to do such a thing, his identity is self-evident.

Even if this black shadow is not the man's real body, if he can be seriously injured, it will definitely cause him considerable losses.

However, even if Hou Tu could defeat the opponent alone, it would be difficult for her to cause too much damage to him.

After Huang Long used the Chaos Bell to stabilize the Netherworld, he turned his gaze towards the black shadow.

He thought for a moment, and finally gave up the idea of ​​using the Chaos White Gourd.

Although he used all his strength to activate the Chaos White Gourd and send out the Chaos Divine Thunder, combined with Hou Tu's axe, it would definitely severely damage the black shadow.

However, once the Chaos Divine Thunder appears, the path Huang Long plans to take will be discovered by the Heavenly Saint and Hongjun.

There will definitely be many obstacles in the future, which will not be worth the effort.

Even the purpose of the black shadow's active appearance was to find out his background in order to prepare for the future battle between saints.

Therefore, Huang Long chose to settle for the second best and chose to show the known part of his strength.

next moment.

A black and a gray Tao fruit flew out from Huang Long's soul, hovering above his head, releasing an extremely mysterious Tao rhyme.

The Avenue of Death and the Avenue of the Moon also manifested in the underworld at this time.

At this moment, Huang Long seemed to have transformed into two roads of Death and Taiyin.

With a light tap of his fingers, the two Taoist fruits, Death and Taiyin, instantly appeared beside the black shadow.

The two avenues of Death and Taiyin that permeated the underworld began to shrink rapidly and entangled the black shadow.

No, to be precise, at this moment, the two avenues of death and Taiyin in the entire prehistoric world became extremely weak and could only maintain the basic operation of the prehistoric world.

This means that Huang Long relied on these two great Dao fruits to draw away the power of the two great Daos in the prehistoric world in a single thought.

Moreover, they are the two top avenues of Death and Taiyin, and their mysteries are even higher than the most top-grade innate spiritual treasures in the prehistoric world.

Surrounded by these two avenues, the vitality of the black shadow quickly dissipated, and death and yin energy spread everywhere.

Moreover, all other avenues around were squeezed out by these two avenues and were completely occupied by the two avenues of Death and Taiyin.

When one reaches the realm of quasi-saint, the battle comes down to who has the better magic weapon and the deeper grasp of the Dao. The same is true for saints.

Once the saint's expertise is no longer around him, his strength will be greatly reduced.

Even the black shadow did not expect such a sudden change to happen, so that his body stiffened slightly and the magic he had prepared was interrupted.

But soon, he adjusted his state and allowed the surrounding avenues to squeeze in again.

However, when saints clash, a moment's gain or loss is enough to determine the outcome.

The moment the black shadow stiffened slightly, he lost the possibility of avoiding Hou Tu's axe and could only choose to take it head-on.

next moment.

Behind the true body of Hou Tu, the ancestor witch, a tall figure emerged, also holding a huge axe.

This is actually Pangu’s projection!
In the final stage of the Lich King's Calamity, Pangu's instinctive will, which he placed on Mount Buzhou, was indeed destroyed by Hongjun.

But the prehistoric world was created by Pangu after all, and his will is spread throughout the prehistoric world. How can it be completely destroyed just like that?
As long as the primitive world is not destroyed, the heaven and earth do not collapse, and the sun and the moon do not fall, Pangu's will will remain.

It just turns from light to darkness, hiding among all things and integrating into the truth.

Huang Long understood this principle, and other saints also understood it.

But the person who can truly revive Pangu's will so far is only Hou Tu, at least on the surface.

The emergence of Pangu's will undoubtedly further enhanced the power of Houtu's axe.

As Hou Tu swung her axe down, the shadow of Pangu behind her made the same move.

In the end, the giant axes in the hands of Hou Tu and Pangu's phantom combined, bursting out with terrifying power, re-enacting the phenomenon of the creation of the world.

The black shadow persisted in the situation, realizing that he had suffered a great loss this time.

Since there is no possibility of avoidance, we can only try to minimize the losses.

He bit his tongue, spurting out a drop of the essence of the Great Dao, and performing a shocking secret technique, turning heaven and earth upside down, reversing yin and yang, and destroying the order of the Great Dao, breaking the shackles of the two Great Daos of Death and Taiyin.

Afterwards, he withstood Hou Tu's terrifying attack, gave up half of his body, disappeared without a trace, leaving only broken space.

The saints of the Heavenly Dao were also paying attention to this battle, and they looked at this scene with extremely complicated expressions.

On the one hand, it was because Hou Tu was able to restore Pangu's will and swing the axe that was enough to threaten the saint's life.

On the other hand, it is because of Huang Long’s application of the Tao.

Huang Long was able to use the two avenues of death and Taiyin to isolate the other avenues around him, which had a huge impact in the battle between saints.

Moreover, they did not think that it was as simple as Huang Long being able to isolate Zhou Dadao.

The two avenues of Death and Taiyin must have other uses in Huang Long's hands.

More importantly, after so many years, it is clear that Huang Long’s methods are not limited to these.

In the saint's heart, Huang Long was given more importance.

At the same time, they also guessed who did it, but they didn't say much, and there was no change in their facial expressions. Only they themselves knew what they were thinking.

……

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

After Huang Long came back, he sat in the pavilion and poured a cup of Wudaoyuan tea for Hou Tu, feeling very happy.

It is an indisputable fact that the powerful man in black is definitely related to Hongjun Daozu.

It is even very likely that he is one of the three corpses of the Taoist ancestors. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have the cultivation level of a saint of the second level.

If it really is one of Hongjun's three corpses, then it means that the method of beheading the three corpses that he gave to Sanqing and others is indeed problematic.

Or it is incomplete, otherwise why is there no method to separate the three corpses again?

But no matter what, being able to severely damage that black shadow will definitely cause considerable losses to Hongjun.

At least in the short term, Hongjun will probably not act rashly.

As for why Hongjun Daozu plotted against Emperor Xin, he also had a rough guess.

In the time traveler's memory, after the Conferred God War, the Human Emperor was demoted to the Son of Heaven, no longer equal to the Emperor of Heaven, and the human race was controlled by the Heavenly Court.

The same is true for the Netherworld, which is occupied by the powerful Xuanmen, and the Underworld becomes a subsidiary of the Heavenly Court.

Both human morality and earthly morality are subject to the Way of Heaven, which shows that the pattern of the supremacy of the Way of Heaven has been completely formed.

The human way and the earthly way are completely controlled by the way of heaven. They have lost their self-operating rules and everything is based on the way of heaven.

The three paths of heaven, earth and man are completely out of balance and are constantly moving towards a deformed path. There is only one person who benefits the most in the entire prehistoric world, and that is Hongjun.

Through the ever-growing Heavenly Dao, he comprehended the Three Thousand Great Daos and thus attained the Dao of Hun Yuan Wu Ji.

From a certain perspective, his behavior is not much better than Luohu's.

One is to quickly destroy the primitive world, and the other is to boil a frog in warm water, letting the primitive world die little by little, with no future at all.

The appearance of Huang Long made the earthly way and the heavenly way go hand in hand, and the human way became more vigorous and powerful. All the calculations of Hongjun Daozu fell through, and everything went against his plan.

In this situation, Conferred Gods was Hongjun Daozu's last chance, so he chose to do it himself.

Unfortunately, Huang Long’s move was one step ahead of his opponent, not only causing Hongjun Daozu’s plan to fail, but also causing him considerable damage.

"After this incident, I think those Heavenly Dao Saints will have to make a choice!"

Huang Long glanced at the sky and muttered to himself.

This is indeed the case. When Emperor Xin was affected by the evil wind, the Sage of Heaven had some vague guesses.

After seeing that Huang Long and Hou Tu joined forces and only severely injured the black shadow, they were completely certain that it was Hongjun Daozu who took action.

They had mixed reactions to this.

Taiqing Daode Tianzun remained calm and showed no reaction at all, apparently deciding to wait and see what happened.

Whether the Way of Heaven is supreme or the three elements coexist, both are helpful for the saints to practice.

However, the supremacy of Heaven's Way may lead to the end of the future for the ancient world, but it will help improve the cultivation of saints faster.

The three talents working together will have greater potential, but for the saints of the Heavenly Dao, the pace of practice will be slower.

But no matter what, it's good for him.

The highest good is like water. Water benefits all things without contending. It simply takes advantage of circumstances and accepts everything without contending.

He practices the way of inaction, so he will not express his position so quickly in this game. He will make a decision only at the last moment.

After Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun pondered for a while, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes and he made a choice.

His original purpose was to follow the Way of Heaven, so naturally he should do things that are in accordance with Heaven's will.

Since it was God's will that Xiqi should flourish and that Zhou should replace Shang, he would support Xiqi.

He had no interest in exploring what Hongjun Daozu's plan was or what the consequences of the supremacy of Heaven's Way would be. As long as it was beneficial to Heaven's Way, he would fully support it.

In his heart, the Way of Heaven is always the most important thing.

If one day, Hongjun Daozu goes against the will of Heaven, Yuanshi Tianzun will turn around and deal with him.

After all, Hongjun is the Way of Heaven, but the Way of Heaven is not Hongjun!

Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun made a completely opposite choice to Yuanshi Tianzun. He decided to stand on Huanglong's side.

This is not only because the fate of the Great Shang Dynasty is connected with that of the Jiejiao, but also because he practiced the Jietian Dao in order to gain a glimmer of hope for all living beings in the prehistoric world.

Although he did not have the memories of a time traveler, he could not see as far as Huang Long.

But he had a vague feeling that if the Heavenly Dao really was allowed to reign supreme, the cultivation speed of these Heavenly Dao saints would certainly increase.

But in the end, the ancient world will go on a path of no return, and all living beings will completely lose their only hope of survival.

In addition, in the eyes of the Saint Taiqing, Hongjun Daozu, as a person who is in harmony with the Tao, should be impartial and follow the way of heaven.

Instead of taking action in secret and influencing Emperor Xin, the Human Emperor.

Even if Heaven has destined the Zhou Dynasty to rise and the Shang Dynasty to fall, then all of this should be left to the rules of the world and the goal should be achieved naturally.

Instead of intervening and destroying that glimmer of hope.

Since the part of Heaven represented by Hongjun Daozu is unfair, he will use the sword in his hand to create a glimmer of hope for the Shang Dynasty and Jiejiao.

After signing the Conferred God List three times, the Sage Shangqing once gave two maxims in the Biyou Palace to warn his disciples:
Close the cave door tightly and recite two or three volumes of Huangting in silence; go to the Western Land and become a famous person on the List of Gods.

……

……

……

Now that this happened, the Saint Shangqing changed his mind.

The Jiejiao immortal whose name was originally on the List of Gods was sent to heaven by him using his great magic power.

They were ordered not to leave the Heavenly Palace before the end of the Conferred God Tribulation, otherwise they would be expelled from the sect and would no longer be immortals of the Jiejiao Sect.

Saint Shangqing did this to fight for a glimmer of hope for his disciples.

Although they are on the list, there is a huge difference between whether their souls and their physical bodies are on the list.

In addition, he ordered other disciples to prepare for the catastrophe.

Once a fellow disciple serving in the Great Shang Dynasty asks for help, you cannot go alone to help, but try to gather as many disciples as possible.

No matter who the other party is, if you are hostile, there is no need to be polite, just fight to the death!

Only in this way can we win more possibilities for Jiejiao.

In fact, the Shangqing Sage had already had the idea of ​​giving up the supremacy of the Way of Heaven as early as when Dayu abdicated and combined the three talents of heaven, earth and man into one.

Although he did not have the memories of a time traveler, he could vaguely sense that perhaps this was the correct way for the prehistoric world to develop.

After years of deduction, he became more determined in this idea.

Because, in the development method of Tiandao Supremacy, he did not even see the one that escaped.

In other words, once the prehistoric world takes the Way of Heaven as its only supreme being, its future will become unchanging and lifeless.

This result was not what he wanted to see, and it was contrary to the path he was pursuing.

There's nothing strange about him making this choice so quickly.

Nuwa showed a playful look on her face. She sat cross-legged in the Queen Nuwa Palace without making any unnecessary moves, and no one knew what she was thinking.

She has already sent some of the demon tribes to the List of Gods, and they will successfully enter the heaven in the future.

As long as the demons don't seek death, no matter who wins or loses in this great calamity of conferring the gods, it will not have much impact on her.

So her attitude is hard to understand.

However, in addition to being a Saint of Heaven, she is also the Holy Mother of the human race. The other Saints of Heaven know that in her heart she is more inclined to the parallel development of the three elements of heaven, earth, and man.

In this way, she can obtain double benefits from both the heaven and man, which will help her practice.

If the three elements coexist as Huang Long said, it can also help the evolution and advancement of Honghuang.

The attitude of the two saints in the West is even simpler. Because of Hongyuan, they will do anything that is beneficial to the West and conducive to fulfilling their vows.

Whether the Way of Heaven is supreme or the three elements coexist, as long as Western religions can flourish, they will not care too much.

Heaven beyond heaven, Zixiao Palace.

Daozu Hongjun has not changed for many years, and a tiny crack has never appeared on his face.

He had not paid much attention to Emperor Xin before. Even though the latter was the Emperor of Man, in his eyes he was still just an ant and not worthy of his excessive attention.

However, it was just such an ant that caused him to fall today.

Not only was the evil corpse seriously injured, but his actions were also exposed.

"Huanglong..."

He soon realized that all this was Huang Long's plan, otherwise, Ziwei Star God would not have become Emperor Xin!
It would also be impossible to worship so many saints at the same time, and what happened today would not have happened.

His eyes narrowed slightly, a cold light flashed across them, and he became even more wary of Huang Long.
