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

Chapter 239: Shen Gongbao makes trouble, Yang Jiao helps
Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long saw everything.

She was quite satisfied with Deng Chanyu's performance.

He is decisive and courageous, yet steady and never takes his enemies lightly. With time, he will become a great man.

As for the life or death of the Jiejiao immortal, Huang Long didn't care.

He is not a saint of Jiejiao, nor is he a saint.

The only thing he could do was to let his disciples do what they could in the future.

Help a few kind-hearted Jiejiao immortals, preserve some incense for Jiejiao, and save a glimmer of hope for the prehistoric world.

As for the life and death of other Jiejiao immortals, what does it have to do with him?

However, Yang Jian is indeed difficult to deal with. If one wants to end the Conferred God Tribulation as soon as possible and quickly advance to the moment when the primitive world is destroyed.

It is necessary to resolve the obstacle of Yang Jian and speed up the process of war between Shang and Zhou.

This not only concerns the path of Ziwei Star God, but also Huanglong's own path.

To this end, he sent a message to Yunxiao, asking her to send Yang Jiao to help Da Shang, eliminate Yang Jian, the obstacle, and imprison him in Guanjiangkou.

In addition, Huang Long also gave some advice to other disciples, especially Zhao Gongming.

Although Zhao Gongming did not become a disciple of Jiejiao as the time traveler remembered.

But his nature has not changed. He is still generous and has many friends. He has become acquainted with many people in the Jiejiao sect.

According to Huang Long's speculation, Zhao Gongming was very likely to be involved in this catastrophe.

Huang Long doesn't think this is a bad thing.

This is Zhao Gongming's nature. If he is forced to change, it will not be a good thing for him.

The most important thing for a person who practices Taoism is to have clear thoughts and a pure and harmonious heart.

If Zhao Gongming felt guilty because of this incident and had to spend a long time repairing his Tao heart, it would be too costly.

What’s more, the Great Tribulation of Conferred Gods is a crisis, but also a blessing!

If Zhao Gongming could enter the calamity and escape it, he would definitely benefit from it and his cultivation would greatly improve.

In addition, Daozu Hongjun was watching covetously, always wanting to drag the Guixu lineage into a catastrophe.

In this case, it would be better to take the initiative to enter the robbery, seize the initiative, and gain more benefits.

Therefore, Huang Long just gave Zhao Gongming some reminders, hoping that he would not be impulsive, seek steady progress in everything, and keep some backup plans in mind.

If a fellow disciple encounters the great calamity of Conferred Gods, they must share what they have and help each other. They must never face the calamity alone.

At the same time, Huang Long warned his disciples that if they met a Taoist named Shen Gongbao.

Be sure to be extra careful and try not to communicate with them.

Huang Long saw the evil side of Shen Gongbao from the time traveler's memory.

Afterwards, he deduced and realized that this was because Shen Gongbao was carrying the aura of disaster.

Even a Daluo Jinxian would be affected, with the calamity energy clouding the spirit and causing one to act unwisely.

In order to prevent his disciples from being affected, Huang Long not only asked them to be careful, but also warned them to find a way to kill it if possible.

After all, it is not a good idea to be on guard against Shen Gongbao all the time. It would be best to get rid of Shen Gongbao once and for all.

In fact, Huang Long has always suspected that the Taoist Feixiong was not referring to just Jiang Ziya.

In other words, Jiang Ziya is only a part of Feixiong Taoist, the part that represents good.

Shen Gongbao is the other part of Taoist Feixiong, representing the evil part.

Otherwise, it would be too unreasonable for a person who presided over the calamity of conferring the gods to have mediocre cultivation and ordinary qualifications.

Perhaps this was also what Hongjun Daozu intended to do, splitting Feixiong Daoist into two parts, one bright and one dark, to jointly accomplish the great cause of Conferred Godhood.

It’s just that Jiang Ziya is the open chess piece, while Shen Gongbao is the hidden piece.

Through the causal entanglement of the two people, they invisibly intensified the contradiction between the orthodox teaching and the unorthodox teaching.

Today, in the ancient world, there is the sage sect of Guixu.

In addition to intensifying the conflict between Jiejiao and Chenjiao, Shen Gongbao is probably also trying to drag Guixu into the conflict.

There are also opportunities during the Conferred God Tribulation. Huang Long does not reject his disciples from entering the tribulation, but they must not enter the tribulation because of Shen Gongbao.

It would be better to get rid of this troublemaker as soon as possible.

The fact was indeed as Huang Long worried. Just a few days after Yunxiao sent Yang Jiao down the mountain, Shen Gongbao came to Mount Emei and found Zhao Gongming.

Inside the Luofu Cave, Zhao Gongming looked at Shen Gongbao who introduced himself outside the mountain. He remembered Huang Long's order and did not want to have any contact with Shen Gongbao.

But no one expected that Shen Gongbao was so shameless that he not only stayed outside Mount Emei, but also spoke eloquently, analyzing the war between Shang and Zhou from all aspects.

He said that if he did not come down the mountain to help the Shang Dynasty conquer the Zhou Dynasty, it would be a huge loss on his path of cultivation.

Finally, it was said that because Deng Chanyu killed Tuxingsun, Jiang Ziya was going to ask the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect to take action against him, using the power to bully the weak and kill Deng Chanyu.

Hearing this, Zhao Gongming was filled with murderous intent. No matter who it is, anyone who dares to bully the younger generation of Guixu is seeking death!

He immediately had the idea of ​​going down the mountain to compete with the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Orthodox Sect.

But at the critical moment, he remembered Huang Long's advice, which was like a pour of cold water on his head, extinguishing the fire in his heart. When he looked at Shen Gongbao again, there was a bit more fear in his eyes.

"Master is right. This Taoist is really a bit weird!"

He is already a Golden Immortal and has the potential to become a Quasi-Sage in the future.

Shen Gongbao was able to make him angry with his eloquence, so how could he not be afraid of him?

Thinking of this, a murderous intent appeared on Zhao Gongming's face again.

He is a Daluo Jinxian, but Shen Gongbao could provoke the nameless fire in his heart. What about the second-generation disciples?

This person must not be allowed to stay!
Without hesitation, Zhao Gongming immediately sacrificed nine precious beads and flew out of Luofu Cave.

These pearls are called Xuanshui Divine Pearls, each of them is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and when combined together they are even more powerful than ordinary top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

The magic weapon bestowed by Huanglong is also the most powerful magic weapon in Zhao Gongming's possession.

The style of the Guixu lineage has always been to not take action unless necessary, but once they do, it is a fatal blow.

Outside Mount Emei, Shen Gongbao was angry.

He had already wasted several days here and was talking until he was dry-mouthed, but he did not expect that Zhao Gongming would be so stubborn and unmoved, and had no intention of meeting him at all.

As they both belong to the same saintly lineage, the immortals of Jiejiao are much easier to fool than Zhao Gongming.

If Zhao Gongming was not a Daluo Jinxian and a disciple of the Guixu lineage, he would have been able to inflict a great loss on Jiang Ziya and even very likely have conquered Xiqi.

Why would Shen Gongbao waste so much time here?
At this moment, the mountain protection formation of Mount Emei surged, and seemed to be showing signs of opening.

Shen Gongbao was overjoyed, thinking that Zhao Gongming had finally been persuaded by him and was willing to follow him out of seclusion to help the Shang Dynasty.

But in the next moment, his expression changed drastically. He used the technique of escape, turned around and ran away in a panic.

Nine azure blue gems flew out and fought, like nine oceans, pressing towards Shen Gongbao.

As a Daluo Jinxian, Zhao Gongming did not hold back, so killing Shen Gongbao was a sure thing for him.

Unexpectedly, a golden light descended from the sky and rescued Shen Gongbao.

Looking at the location where Shen Gongbao disappeared, after some deduction, Zhao Gongming frowned, he could not find any relevant traces.

He knew that anyone who could do this was at least a quasi-saint, or possibly even a saint.

So he reported back to Guixu what had happened here and told Huang Long.

Guixu, a Taoist temple hidden in the clouds.

Huang Long received Zhao Gongming's message, but after calculating with his fingers, he still found nothing.

But the absence of gain itself represents a kind of gain.

Now he has reached the middle stage of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, the third level of sainthood.

With such skills, and with the help of the power of the tunnel, there is no way to deduce any relevant clues.

The only people who can do this, besides Hongjun Daozu, are the Six Heavenly Saints. The possibility of the Six Heavenly Saints being able to do this is not very high, after all, their cultivation is slightly inferior to Huanglong.

The person who rescued Shen Gongbao was most likely Hongjun Daozu.

This also confirms Huang Long's long-held guess that Shen Gongbao is indeed Hongjun Daozu's hidden man.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Hongjun to take action for a mere celestial being.

Obviously, Daozu Hongjun knew that Huanglong had already known about his plot to target the Guixu lineage.

That's why he didn't hesitate this time and rescued Shen Gongbao again.

Regarding this matter, both Huang Long and Hongjun Daozu maintained a tacit understanding.

"At least Shen Gongbao won't pose such a big threat to the Guixu lineage in the future..."

Through this incident, Daozu Hongjun also realized that the Guixu lineage had become wary of Shen Gongbao.

His chess piece then turned from hidden to visible. At least on Guixu's side, Shen Gongbao was already half useless.

If Shen Gongbao wasn't needed to intensify the conflict between the Jie and Chan sects, he would never have been saved.

Huang Long did not send any message to remind the Shangqing Saint to pay attention to Shen Gongbao, otherwise, Hongjun would probably take action again.

Besides, even if he said it, the Shangqing Saint would think that Shen Gongbao was a pawn of Yuanshi Tianzun.

He might even turn a blind eye to Shen Gongbao because of a glimmer of hope.

In the eyes of this saint, the Conferred God Tribulation is a disaster, but also a blessing!

……

at the same time.

A young Taoist priest came to visit the Da Shang military camp.

He has an upright posture, a strong body, a resolute face, and an extraordinary aura.

Judging from his facial features, he is somewhat similar to Yang Jian.

That was why the soldiers did not dare to let him in.

It was not until Deng Chanyu came forward and proved that he was his senior brother, the second-generation disciple of the Guixu lineage - Yang Jiao, that he was invited into the military camp.

"Master Yang has profound cultivation. It is a blessing for Da Shang that he can come to help."

After their identities were confirmed, Lu Xiong and others were extremely welcoming.

This is because the Shang Dynasty and the Yunyin Taoist Temple have always had good relations, especially after Emperor Xin came to power, he showed even more respect to the immortals of the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

Also, because Yang Jiao's cultivation is extraordinary, he is actually a rare martial arts master in the prehistoric times, and now he has reached the peak realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Nowadays, the pinnacle of martial arts is Taiyi Golden Immortal, so Yang Jiao's martial arts skills are one of the strongest in the prehistoric world.

His arrival not only made the Shang Dynasty more powerful, but also inspired many Shang Dynasty generals, who hoped to get guidance.

As for Yang Jiao's identity, with Deng Chanyu's guarantee, no one doubted it anymore.

Moreover, pretending to be a disciple of a saint would result in huge consequences. Even a Daluo Jinxian would not have the courage to do so, let alone a mere Taiyi Jinxian.

To celebrate Yang Jiao's coming to help, Lu Xiong and others held a banquet in the Dashang camp.

Lu Yue and other Jiejiao immortals looked at this scene and felt uncomfortable.

Yang Jian has the cultivation level of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he can also comfort himself by saying that Yang Jian is the first disciple of the third generation of the Chan sect.

No matter which force, the first disciple has extraordinary significance.

To a certain extent, their status and treatment are no worse than those of the second-generation disciples of the Chan sect.

With all the hard work and cultivation, this level of accomplishment was expected, but it was also reasonable and not unacceptable.

But Yang Jiao is different. He is not the first disciple of the second generation of Guixu lineage, nor is he even in the top three. He is just an ordinary second-generation disciple.

Guixu is different from Xuanmen, because Xuanmen originated from Hongjun, so the saint’s disciples are the second generation disciples.

Guixu originated from Huanglong. Strictly speaking, second-generation disciples like Yang Jiao are equivalent to third-generation disciples of the Chan Sect.

Any random second-generation disciple of Guixu has a cultivation level that is not inferior to theirs, and some are even better. How can their mentality not be complicated?
Yang Jiao did not pay attention to what the Jiejiao immortals were thinking. After a brief familiarization, he came to the arranged tent, sat cross-legged in meditation, and gathered his strength.

The next day.

At daybreak, Yang Jiao went to the Xiqi camp to challenge the enemy, thus breaking the peace that had lasted for more than half a month between the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

"Yang Jiao, the disciple of Fairy Yunxiao, is here on Guixu Sanxiao Island. Tell Yang Jian to come see me quickly!"

With the blessing of magic power, Yang Jiao's voice was like a loud bell, spreading in all directions and could be clearly heard throughout the Xiqi camp.

In the Marshal's Mansion, Yang Jian was shocked when he heard the long-lost voice. Jiang Ziya and other members of the Chan Sect looked at Yang Jian's strangeness and couldn't help asking:
"Yang Jian, do you recognize him?"

"Uncle Master, Yang Jiao is my brother."

As he spoke, Yang Jian stepped out and flew towards the outside of the Xiqi camp.

Jiang Ziya and the others wanted to stop them, but they swallowed the words back. They couldn't stop brothers from meeting each other, right?

Although the visitor has bad intentions, we don't think there will be much of a fight as we are brothers from the same mother.

Perhaps this relationship could be used to make Yang Jiao work for the Great Zhou.

With this in mind, Jiang Ziya and his fellow disciples also rushed out of the camp.

……

"Brother, how are you?"

"Second brother, it seems that you haven't slacked off in your practice over the years!"

Having not seen each other for many years, Yang Jiao and Yang Jian were both extremely excited.

However, now was not the time to reminisce about the past, so after a simple greeting, Yang Jian asked directly:
"I wonder why you came here, brother?"

Yang Jian was not a fool, so he naturally saw that Yang Jiao was a bad guest this time, but he was still unwilling to fight with his brother.

In his early years, if it weren't for Yang Jiao, he and Yang Chan would probably have starved to death on the streets.

Then, he was still young and ignorant, so he left a letter and ran away from home in search of immortal fate.

He felt both guilty and grateful and respectful towards his brother.

How could Yang Jiao not see what his brother was thinking? He sighed. If possible, he didn't want to fight with Yang Jian.

But I cannot disobey the master's orders, so I have to beat him with the stick today.

Yang Jiao did not beat around the bush when stating his intentions, and spoke directly:
"I came here this time to persuade you, my second brother, to leave with me."

"This Conferred God Battle is extremely dangerous. Even a powerful Daluo Jinxian may perish if he is not careful."

"My Guixu clan wants to support the Shang Dynasty and destroy the Zhou Dynasty. I, your brother, do not want to fight with you on the battlefield and kill each other."

Yang Jiao's words were spoken with great sincerity, but unfortunately, Yang Jian was also unable to disobey his master's orders.

"Brother, everyone has their own aspirations. I am a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect, and my master has been very kind to me."

"Since the Chan Sect wants to help Zhou destroy Shang, I will also help with all my strength!"

Yang Jiao was not surprised by this result. He even felt relieved after hearing Yang Jian's words.

The most important thing for a person who practices Taoism is the heart of Taoism. If Yang Jian cannot stick to his original intention, he is destined to not go far.

Since this road is blocked, we have to take another one.

"In that case, let's fight it out, brother."

"If you win, I will have done my best for our sect. I will return to the mountain immediately and will not leave until the Conferred God Tribulation is over."

Yang Jian nodded and also made a promise.

"If my brother wins, I will return to the mountains to practice and no longer care about the war between Shang and Zhou!"

After all, they are brothers, it is impossible for them to fight to the death. With such a commitment, no one can find fault.

As for who will go back, that will depend on actual combat.

In this battle, they are fighting for their respective masters, and no one will hold back!
