No taboos in the world

Chapter 525: Obtaining the Immortal Sword, Old Events from the Conferred God Period

Jinting Mountain.

Hong Chen had just arrived in front of Daoxing Tianzun's dojo when the ordinary mountain scenery in front of him suddenly changed. The originally invisible mountain protection formation suddenly lit up, and then quickly retreated like spring water ruffled by a breeze.

Seeing this scene, Hong Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and suddenly felt a little helpless.

The principle of not hitting a smiling person is universal. Moreover, as a disciple of a saint, no matter how domineering he is, he cannot behave like an uneducated barbarian.

"Haha, what a ridiculous idea. The Twelve Golden Immortals did not show mercy to the third generation disciples of Jiejiao just because they were disciples of saints. Even sneak attacks were common. Even the saint Yuanshi Tianzun shamelessly attacked the disciples of Jiejiao, didn't he?"

The Zhuxian Sword, which had been silent ever since it was given to Hong Chen by Master Tongtian himself, spoke again.

"What you said is indeed true. I cannot refute it, nor do I need to refute it for the Chan Sect. However, I am not a Jie Sect immortal after all. Even if I take the initiative to stand in the Jie Sect's camp and consider their perspective, they may not appreciate it."

"Then why don't you join Jiejiao?"

Does this need to be said?
The country was founded and you joined the national army. Are you trying to stimulate yourself?
After a pause, Hong Chen said: "A catastrophe will not arise without a reason, and a disaster will not occur without a cause."

"You want to say that Jiejiao deserves what he gets?"

"Good fortune and bad luck come from no door, but only from man himself. Maybe he deserves the punishment for his crime, but the word 'rebellious' is definitely true, right?"

"Is this how you view Jiejiao Xian?"

"It's not that I have to see them this way, but they are just like that. Moreover, even if we take a step back and say that as a pure human race, there are many examples of Jiejiao disciples killing and eating people. Can I still speak for the murderer?"

"Are all Jiejiao immortals cannibals? Haven't you seen the Three Sky Gods?"

"The Three Heavenly Lords are indeed virtuous people, but then again, in the entire Jiejiao sect, there is no one more vicious and crazy than them, right?"

There are not many people who dare to take action against a saint.

Even fewer people dare to take action even though they know that "all are ants below the saints."

What's more, the Three Goddesses were about to open the head of Yuanshi Tianzun. Do you dare to say that they are not crazy?
Again, maybe doing so is not a capital crime, but a saint is a saint, and only a saint is qualified to stop him from doing what he wants.

If he is unhappy, Sanxiao will die.

Tongtian had no time to rescue him, and Sanxiao really died.

Of course, thinking this way does not mean that Hong Chen chooses to stand on the side of Yuanshi Tianzun and the Chanjiao.

On the contrary, like most people, he yearned for the freedom, unrestrainedness and arbitrariness of the Jie Religion, and was full of sympathy for the Jie Religion's final tragic fall and sad ending.

However, when you are in the Three Realms and the saints truly exist above your head, you have to consider more things.

He also thought seriously about the great disasters in the past, and therefore always reminded and warned himself not to be too willful and reckless.

Because once you provoke a saint, even if there is a saint behind you, he may not be able to save you.

The Three Heavenly Lords are the most straightforward and bloody example.

The Zhu Xian Sword snorted coldly and said nothing more.

Hong Chen stepped into the mountain.

As we moved forward, the trees and rivers ahead gave way and changed their courses, revealing a shady bluestone path sandwiched between two lush green trees.

Soon, a stone tablet appeared in front of us: Yuwu Cave.

Crossing the stone tablet, the space can be easily transferred.

The surrounding scenery is beautiful, with clouds rolling in the sky.

The trees, flowers and grass are flourishing, and cranes and phoenixes are flying.

There is an octagonal pavilion built on the cliff of the towering steep mountain.

In the pavilion, an old Taoist in linen robe was playing the piano with great concentration under the golden sunset.

And right at the entrance of the pavilion, there was a sword emitting a faint blue light hanging.

As soon as Hong Chen arrived here, the dark blue sword seemed to sense something and suddenly emitted a burst of light. The dark sword intent immediately shook and extinguished all the white clouds with gold edges in the sky.

The melodious and graceful piano music also stopped.

"Long time no see." Zhu Xian Sword's voice rang in Hong Chen's mind, and it was obvious that this sentence was not spoken to him.

The dark blue light of the Juexian Sword flickered and rose and fell in response like breathing.

"I am not a skilled martial artist, nor have I achieved great accomplishments. I did not expect the distinguished guest to come to my house today, and I was completely unaware of the situation. I hope that the Great Emperor Xuanling will forgive me!"

Hong Chen turned his gaze to the Taoist priest and raised his arm to bow: "Daoxing Tianzun, you are too polite. I am rude for coming here uninvited today."

Daoxing Tianzun smiled and extended his hand to invite him: "Please take a seat, Your Majesty."

Hong Chen nodded and walked into the pavilion.

After taking his seat, Daoxing Tianzun looked directly at the Juexian Sword hanging at the entrance of the pavilion, stroked his beard, and spoke with a sigh.

"Ever since Uncle Tongtian recalled the Immortal Execution Sword from Brother Guangchengzi, we knew that someone would come to take the sword sooner or later. The emperor's visit today really surprised me."

Before this, only a very few people knew that the Zhu Xian Sword was in Hong Chen's hands.

The Chan sect knew that Tongtian had taken back the Zhuxian Sword, but they didn't know what he was doing by suddenly taking the sword.

They asked Yuanshi Tianzun for advice, but did not receive a direct reply from him.

In order to avoid retaliation from the Jiejiao, the Chenjiao made a lot of preparations quietly afterwards, for fear that the Jiejiao would take advantage of the fact that most people's attention was focused on the great calamity of the journey to the West to attack them.

After all, with their way of thinking, if they were in their shoes, they would definitely do the same.

What a pity, this kind of defense now seems to be just laughable.

But who could have thought that Master Tongtian would actually give the Zhuxian Sword to another saint's direct disciple?
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that except for the Saint Nuwa who did not actively participate in the Conferred God Tribulation, it seems that the disciples of the other saints could not gain the trust of the Master Tongtian.

"Thank you, Uncle Tongtian, for your appreciation of me. To be honest, I was no less surprised than you at first." Hong Chen said calmly.

Daoxing Tianzun smiled and nodded: "Yes, after all, they are the core of the Heavenly Dao's No. 1 Killing Formation. Even if the formation diagram is gone, or even the four swords are separated, they are still the most top-notch, supreme innate spiritual treasures in the prehistoric world."

Hong Chen was too lazy to exchange pleasantries, so he said bluntly: "Tianzun, let's not talk about other things for now. I'm sure you already know why I came here today. Let's not beat around the bush, why don't you tell me how I can take the Juexian Sword today?"

unexpectedly.

Daoxing Tianzun waved his hand and said, "Since Emperor Xuanling wants to take the sword, then just take it directly. I'm not afraid of being laughed at by the Emperor, but since I took this sword from the Zhuxian Sword Formation until today, I have never touched it again except for using it once with the help of my master."

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't dare.

Taking the Four Swords of Zhu Xian and refining the Four Swords of Zhu Xian are two completely different things.

However, this is too easy. Would the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect give in so easily?
If that were really the case, there wouldn't have been a bloodbath between the Orthodox and Unorthodox sects back then!

Hong Chen swung his sword and the red rope wrapped around the Juexian Sword broke instantly.

The Juexian Sword, freed from its restraints, instantly turned into a blue light and rushed into Hong Chen's body, eager to reminisce with the Zhuxian Sword.

No matter what your plans are, I'll get what I want first!

Hong Chen checked the Juexian Sword and found nothing unusual, so he said, "Tianzun, if you have anything to say, you can speak directly. I took the Juexian Sword, and I will return it to you once."

Daoxing Tianzun's smile faded slightly and he asked softly.

"I heard that the Great Emperor and the Buddhist monk Dipankara are not on good terms?"

Hearing this, the storm in Hong Chen's mind suddenly rose and fell, and in the blink of an eye, a smile appeared.

"It's not that we are not on good terms. It's just that if I have the chance, I don't mind killing him. I believe he and I have the same idea."

Daoxing Tianzun bowed and said, "If there is such an opportunity in the future, could you please ask Emperor Xuanling to send a message to me? Although I am not well-versed in martial arts, I also want to contribute to the extermination of the rebellion of the Chan Sect."

"Okay. Does this mean that you have many supporters?" Hong Chen asked with a smile.

Daoxing Tianzun nodded: "Of course."

The two looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

it is more than words.

Of course, what Daoxing Tianzun wanted was not just to eliminate the traitors from the Chan Sect.

Or rather, it's just an excuse.

Before Ran Deng left Xuanmen, he was the deputy leader of the Chan sect, but he was never really taken seriously by the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan sect. So Ran Deng did not enjoy the position of deputy leader, which sounded good.

During the Conferred Gods Tribulation, in order to deeply reflect the meaning and value of his existence in the Orthodox Sect, Ran Deng did not hesitate to fight against the second and third generation disciples of the Jie Sect in his identity as a senior of the three thousand worldly guests of the Zixiao Palace. This also opened the prelude to the Orthodox Sect's violation of the rule of "soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals".

Therefore, for the Jiejiao, Dipankara is more disgusting than a troublemaker.

However, within the Chan sect, Ran Deng's efforts were not recognized by the sect. They still looked down on Ran Deng, the so-called "predecessor" who did not live up to his reputation. Although they imitated his behavior, they were even more disdainful of him on the surface.

Yuanshi Tianzun always said that the disciples of Jiejiao did not cultivate merits and did not care about their nature. Most of them were people with fur and horns, and those who laid eggs from moisture. There were good and bad people. Sooner or later, they would cause disasters to Jiejiao and bring more causes and troubles to Tongtian.

Facts have proved that Yuanshi Tianzun was not wrong.

But when he was talking about others, he seemed to have forgotten that his own sect also had many strange problems.

In fact, Randang’s defection was not heartbreaking, because he was not that important in the Chan sect.

What made Ran Deng even more sad was the reality: Even if he put aside his pride and disregarded his reputation to betray the Chan sect and join Buddhism, he was still not that important to Buddhism except for the position of the past Buddha, which sounded equally good but had no practical significance.

What really broke the heart of the Chan sect was that when Rāhādān Gāthāna defected, he also took away four of the Twelve Golden Immortals: Jīlúsun, Mānjuśrī, Pāṇādha, and Cīlhāng.

Manjushri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva and Cihang Taoist have now become the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism. Although they are not yet Buddhas, their actual authority and status are second only to Tathagata Many Treasures.

But revenge is still impossible.

If the Chan sect really wanted to take revenge on Ran Deng, it would have found an opportunity over the years.

So, the real reason only sounds more outrageous.

One of the causes of the great calamity of Conferred Gods was that the twelve golden immortals of the orthodox teachings committed sins in the mortal world and were thus punished with death.

In order to survive the catastrophe, Yuanshi Tianzun thought for a while and decided to let the Twelve Golden Immortals come into the world to recruit disciples and survive the catastrophe on his behalf.

Among them, Daoxing Tianzun accepted three disciples in total:
Han Dulong, Xue Ehu, and Wei Hu.

The former two were just ordinary cannon fodders in the Conferred Gods War, but Wei Hu became one of the seven people who achieved sainthood in the flesh after the Conferred Gods War, and also became the Quanzhen guardian of the three religions.

The fundamental reason for the huge difference in the outcome lies in Ran Deng!

Before Han Dulong and Xue Ehu had time to exert their strength, they were sent out by the then deputy leader of the Chan sect, Master Ran Deng, to test the formation.

That formation was exactly the "Ten Absolute Formations" that was researched and created by the Ten Heavenly Lords of the Jiejiao Sect, and it is still famous today!
At that time, the Zhou army was blocked by the Ten Absolute Formations and was unable to move forward for a long time. As the most prominent representative of the Chan sect, Ran Deng would have to bear increasingly heavy pressure as long as the Ten Absolute Formations were not broken.

In order to break the formation, Randeng tried almost everything he could.

The Ten Ultimate Formations are difficult to break, and no one knows the key to them.

After much thought, the Taoist Master Ran Deng could not find a perfect solution, so he decided to send someone to test the formation.

Han Dulong and Xue Ehu, two unlucky guys who went to deliver rations to Zhou army, died in the "Earth Fierce Array" and "Ice Array" respectively.

Finally, Han Dulong was named "God of Increasing Fortune" and Xue Ehu was named "God of Losing Fortune", which are the legendary two generals of increase and loss, also known as: the heads of officials and generals.

From this we can see that even if Han Dulong and Xue Ehu's true spirits were included in the List of Gods, their current status is actually not bad.

In the final analysis, it can only fall on the shoulders of Daoxing Tianzun.

This Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect might not just want to use his disciple to transcend the tribulation on his behalf, but he really loves and protects his disciple.

The emotions of living beings are always complex.

But today I came to the right place by accident.

Instead of making an enemy, he accidentally made a friend who could work together against Dipamkara Buddha.

After staying for half a day, Hong Chen got up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Daoxing Tianzun smiled and said, "Senior Brother Chijingzi has profound cultivation, and Senior Brother Yuding is very good at Taoism. In front of the two senior brothers, I often feel ashamed of myself."

These ambiguous and seemingly true words are also a subtle reminder to Hong Chen.

The implication is: Chi Jingzi and Yu Ding Zhenren are not as easy to deal with as me. If you want to get back the Luxian Sword and Xianxian Sword, you have to think carefully. It's best not to come directly to their house to get them like you did today.

Hong Chen smiled and responded: "Thank you for reminding me, I understand."

Taking the Juexian Sword means he has completed a stage of his mission. He can also use this sword to ask the Sage Tongtian for the method of transforming one qi into three pure ones.

As for the Immortal-Slaying Sword and the Immortal-Trapping Sword, he would have to wait until he achieved the status of Taiyi Golden Immortal before he could make any plans for them.

Saints are not allowed to enter the Three Realms. This is a protection for the many holy spirits in the Three Realms, but it is also a weakening of the saints' direct teachings.

After leaving Jinting Mountain, Hong Chen went directly back to Heaven.

In the Red Dust Palace, he sat cross-legged and calmed his mind, silently calling the name of the Sage Tongtian in his heart.
