No taboos in the world

Chapter 529: Changes in Huashan, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree

The Bull Demon's idea was definitely not a spur-of-the-moment idea, and how could he possibly hide his little thoughts from Taishang Laojun?

The fact is, when Hong Chen wanted to guide Sun Wukong to the Tushita Palace to find Taishang Laojun, he received a message from Laojun.

Not only was he given the task of subduing the Green Bull Demon and gaining merit for the Journey to the West, but he was also entrusted with the Green Bull Demon, saying that Hong Chen could use his orders at his will.

Otherwise, even Hong Chen, a true god, could not guess what the Green Bull Demon wanted to do.

"Where do you want to go? Heaven? Hell?" Hong Chen asked.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he looks like a silly cow on the surface. In fact, the Green Bull Demon is also a master of the Taiyi Golden Fairyland.

Right now the quasi-saints are the strongest in the Three Realms, but these quasi-saints rarely show up and almost never take action.

The cultivators in the Daluo realm are all practicing hard in seclusion, trying to kill corpses and break through to the Quasi-Saint level, and they are all staying at home.

Among these people, those wandering around are almost all avatars.

Therefore, Taiyi Jinxian can almost be regarded as the top combat force.

Logically speaking, under such conditions, if the Green Bull Demon really went out to look for a job, he would definitely receive a large number of offers.

But the problem is that it is Laojun's mount.

In other words, even if it is really a cow, most people would not dare to treat it like a cow.

Therefore, the role positioning of the Green Bull Demon becomes somewhat awkward.

After searching through the three realms, it seems that only someone like Hong Chen, whose background and status are much higher than the saint's mount, can truly become the Green Bull Demon's immediate superior without any scruples, allowing the Green Bull Demon to truly leave his status as a mount and shine in other positions.

Obviously, the Green Bull Demon also realized this, so his attitude towards Hong Chen was very respectful from beginning to end, even a little flattering.

"Xiao Maverick is not picky. I will do whatever the Emperor asks me to do, and I promise to do my best and devote myself to it!"

Hong Chen smiled and shook his head: "I asked you this not to test whether you are sincere. But at present, both the Heaven and the Underworld have positions for you, so you can choose a place you like to serve."

Hearing this, the Green Bull Spirit blinked his big eyes and thought for a while before saying, "If that's the case, then the little bull wants to work in the underworld."

He had been in Heaven for who knows how many years and was so familiar with every tree and blade of grass there that he was a little bored. Now that he finally had the opportunity to be "sent out for duty", of course he had to choose a more novel destination.

"it is good."

Hong Chen nodded, "You can serve as the Inspector of the Three Realms of the Underworld. You can act alone, recruit people on your own, or the Underworld can assign subordinates to you. Your duty is to inspect all affairs of the Underworld. If you see any illegal behavior, you must record it and compile it into a book and hand it over to my Underworld clone every month."

Qingniu was overjoyed and immediately bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Three Realms Inspector of the Underworld, as the name suggests, he can roam around the Three Realms at will from now on, because that is his job.

If he wants to do something, he can record the illegal things he sees. If he doesn't want to do anything, he can just treat it as traveling.

All in all, this is a position tailor-made for him with a high rank and a high degree of freedom.

Qingniu was grateful for Hong Chen's generous gift and was also grateful to Laojun for letting him leave.

Hong Chen: "If you do well, I can give you the right to deal with it on the spot in the future."

The implication is: If you don't want to do anything, just be a street urchin; if you want to make a name for yourself, I will also give you more legitimate power in this position.

The blue ox clapped its head against the ground: "Yes! I will definitely live up to the great emperor's expectations!"

"Okay, we'll disband the little demons in Jindou Mountain later, and you can report to the underworld by yourself." Hong Chen left after saying this.

After leaving the cave, there were all kinds of monsters everywhere, trapped in the illusion and revealing their true forms and behaving strangely. Hong Chen snapped his fingers to wake them up, and then flashed to the top of the cloud.

"We thank the Emperor!" The gods took back their weapons and expressed their gratitude, including Tang Seng, Bajie and Sha Seng.

Only Sun Wukong held his head high and chest out, and just stood there like a soldier.

You worship your own emperor, what does it have to do with me, the Monkey King?

These are my beloved relatives, friends, brothers and sisters!
"No need to be so polite, please stand up quickly." After saying this politely, Hong Chen turned to Wukong and said, "I will take the Green Ox. You can continue on your journey with your master."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I knew that if I asked you to help, it would work."

"Then why didn't you come to me from the beginning?"

"Hey, aren't I afraid of disturbing your meditation?"

Hong Chen rolled his eyes at him, took out the banana he had just put in his sleeve, and handed it to Wukong.

"Okay, now that the matter has been resolved, I will go back first. Be careful on the road and come find me if you need anything."

Wukong looked at the banana in his hand, seemed very moved, and nodded slightly.

Return to Hongchen Palace.

Hong Chen calculated with his fingers and found out that the next place the pilgrims would face would be the River of Children and the Kingdom of Women.

He once sent Garuda to the lower world to occupy the mountain west of the Kingdom of Women and become the king, thus adding difficulty to the journey to the West.

Although Garuda's own cultivation is not high, he holds the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Lihuo Ding.

Old man Li Huoding has been around for a long time, and Garuda looks like a child. With the old and the young as a pair, Li Huoding must have taught Garuda a lot of things during these days.

With the old man around, there is no need to worry about Garuda not being able to catch Tang Seng, and there is no need to worry about his safety.

Hong Chen did not take any action to deal with this difficulty.

Otherwise, Sun Wukong might really throw a tantrum in his Red Dust Palace.

After pondering for a moment, Hong Chen suddenly had an idea. He first issued an order to the land god and mountain god of the area where Garuda was located, and then sent a message to the Three Heavenly Lords.

At that time, the land god and mountain god will tell Sun Wukong to go find the Three Heavenly Lords, and the Three Heavenly Lords will receive some merit when they see Sun Wukong.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for remembering us sisters. It's just the merit of Buddhism. It doesn't matter if you don't want it." Qiong Xiao refused as soon as she heard it.

Hong Chen said, "That's not what I meant. How can this merit belong to Buddhism? All the merits in the world are originally ownerless. They are born with time and fall with luck. Those with virtue can obtain them. If you don't take them, it is equivalent to giving the merits to Buddhism. I know the grievances and entanglements between the three of you and Buddhism, but because of this, you should take action."

If the enemy earns more, you lose.

This is a very simple reason.

Fairy Yunxiao continued: "Your Majesty is right. Let us sisters take care of this matter. Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You're welcome." After a pause, Hong Chen said, "Sage Tongtian has taken good care of me. When we met last time, he also said that he was worried about you. I can't help the saint in any way, so I can only make up for it with you. So you don't have to thank me."

Hearing this, the three Xiaos were all silent.

Hong Chen regained his mind, opened the Taoist book, continued to comprehend the Tao, and launched an attack on the Taiyi Taoist Fruit.
-
Datang.

The Crown Princess is pregnant, which is a great joyous event.

The rebellion of Crown Prince Li Chengqian many years ago broke Erfeng's heart, but Emperor Taizong, who killed his brother and forced his father, was ultimately reluctant to kill Li Chengqian.

However, Li Chengqian, who lost everything, died of depression soon after.

Erfeng was very sad.

Afterwards, King Wei Li Tai cried and said that he was willing to kill his son and pass on his succession to his younger brother in the future. At first, Er Feng was really moved to tears.

But when I thought about it again, I suddenly realized that Li Tai was just bragging.

So he decisively gave up Li Tai, and instead made Li Zhi the crown prince, and demoted Li Tai to a prince, completely cutting off Li Tai's hope of becoming the heir. It seemed that Li Zhi, the legitimate son, had won without much effort.

But in fact, Li Zhi was not an easy person to deal with.

Before being made crown prince, he stood idly by the fight between Li Chengqian and Li Tai, and focused on playing the role of a good son.

Because he knew that even if he wanted to compete at that time, it would be difficult for him to compete with his elder brother and fourth brother who were born many years earlier than him. On the contrary, his ambition would be exposed to Li Shimin, which would displease Taizong.

After being appointed crown prince, Li Zhi played the roles of both a good son and a good crown prince, and did not overstep the boundaries in his conduct, which satisfied Taizong without causing him to be wary of him.

How many princes throughout history can do this well?
The Crown Princess' pregnancy meant that the Tang Empire would have another successor, so Li Shimin was naturally very happy.

As the crown prince, Li Zhi still had many years before he ascended the throne. Although he was not as excited as Li Shimin, this incident could also consolidate his position as the crown prince, so even if he was pretending, he could do it very convincingly.

The happiest person in the entire palace was the Crown Princess herself.

The Crown Princess, who came from the Wang family of Taiyuan, was named Princess of Jin a long time ago because of her prominent family background and her beauty. As Li Zhi was named Crown Prince, she became the Crown Princess.

When Li Zhi ascends the throne in the future, she will be the queen.

The situation that had not produced any results for many years made her even more worried. Moreover, the palace maids Liu and Zheng had successively given birth to two illegitimate sons for Li Zhi, and the palace maid Yang was still pregnant, which made her even more uneasy.

Now that she was pregnant, she suddenly felt that everything had become better. The air in the East Palace became fresher and the sunshine became warmer.

Li Shimin held a grand banquet and invited royal family members and court ministers to celebrate together, and the imperial palace was brightly lit.

That night, a fifth-rank talent in the harem knelt in front of a Buddha statue and seemed to be chanting scriptures, but in fact she was whispering, as if communicating.

A month later.

The Three Heavenly Lords came together and sent Garuda back, and they also personally thanked Hong Chen.

Hong Chen was not arrogant and went out to greet him in person.

Yunxiao is a Daluo Jinxian, Qiongxiao and Bixiao are both at the peak of Taiyi. Regardless of their identities, their cultivation alone is worthy of respect.

After some discussion, Sanxiao stood up and said goodbye.

Hong Chen sent Garuda to the Taoist temple on earth and asked it to follow his divine incarnation or clone to practice.

Another half a year passed.

Hong Chen has pushed his swordsmanship to the upper reaches of the long river of swordsmanship. At this time, he can vaguely see the sword at the forefront of the entire long river of swordsmanship.

After all these years of training, he actually no longer had any desire to catch up with or even surpass the number one in the world of kendo.

Because every sword he encountered on his journey upstream actually had extremely unique and ingenious sword-fighting ideas.

The exchange and integration of these ideas made Hong Chen feel as if he was engaging in a very in-depth discussion of the Dao with each sword cultivator.

Sometimes they are close friends, sometimes they are enemies fighting for life and death.

This enlightenment process is so wonderful that it is hard to describe. There is no boredom at all.

If possible, he would not feel tired even if he sat there for tens of millions of years.

This can also be considered as finding the joy of practicing and attaining enlightenment.

Unfortunately, no matter how peaceful Journey to the West is compared to Conferred Gods, it can never escape the suffix of great catastrophe.

Even without the Journey to the West, the Three Realms may not be at peace.

Like now:

Hong Chen suddenly woke up from his practice, his eyes suddenly opened, and the blazing white sword light condensed into substance instantly pierced through the Imperial Palace.

Fortunately, he suppressed the sword rules in time, otherwise the two sword beams would have to penetrate the ninth level before they would stop.

The reason why he woke up suddenly was because the direct connection between his true spirit and the Red Dust Sword was suddenly broken.

This is definitely not normal and shouldn't even happen.

As a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, if one wants to cut off this connection, one must either wipe out the spirituality of the Hongchen Sword and thus sever the connection between Hong Chen and her, or use a magic weapon with a larger number of innate restrictions to directly cut off its connection with the outside world.

The former is unlikely, because even if a quasi-saint took action, the Red Dust Sword would not be able to struggle at all.

The latter requires a top-grade innate spiritual treasure with forty-seven or more innate restrictions to achieve.

There are not many treasures like this in the entire Three Realms, and most of them are still in the hands of the top masters of the major sects.

Therefore, after a little speculation, Hong Chen locked on the target:

Buddhism!

The Chan Sect is Yang Jian's master. Even though Yang Jian's attitude towards the Chan Sect has changed, he will not let the Chan Sect take the initiative to plot against his sister, and even in a way that rebels against the Heavenly Rules, because the Chan Sect is the defender of the Heavenly Rules.

It is true that Jiejiao and Yang Jian have a grudge against each other, but Jiejiao has no reason to target Yang Jian.

The Great Master Xuandu of the Human Sect almost never travels around the Three Realms. If he is really unhappy with Yang Jian, he will beat Yang Jian in front of the Orthodox Sect, and the Orthodox Sect may not dare to say a word.

This question is really too simple!

Hong Chen stood up and arrived at Huashan in a flash.

But unexpectedly, he did not enter the Huashan Holy Mother Temple as he wished. Instead, he was blocked by an invisible force and fell at the foot of Huashan Mountain.

This time, the problem was clearly exposed.

The immortal consciousness spread out, but nothing was discovered.

Hong Chen chuckled and raised his sword.

Two sword lights, one black and one blue, suddenly shot out like arrows.

In a blink of an eye, the Zhuxian Sword and the Juexian Sword hit an invisible barrier. As the waves on the surface of the barrier spread, the magic weapons hidden in the air also revealed their traces.

At first glance, it was a small tree with gold, silver, colored glaze, crystal, clam, pearls, and agate hanging on the tree, shining brightly and full of spiritual charm.

Seeing this magic weapon, the Zhuxian Sword and the Juexian Sword trembled at the same time, as if they were instantly excited, and they both expressed their strong desire to attack Hong Chen.

Hong Chen nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The two swords received the order and immediately flew high in excitement.

The small tree trembled violently, turned its head and ran away.

The Zhuxian Sword and the Juexian Sword did not give up and chased after them.

Hong Chen did not rush to call them back, but released the Xuanling Samsara Realm to break the barriers involved, and then spread out the Xuanling Beiyin Banner behind him, and then walked into Huashan.

In front of the Temple of Our Lady.

A man covered in a black robe suddenly appeared and blocked the road.

"The Holy Mother Temple is closed to visitors today. Please stay."

Hong Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"The beastly world welcomes you."
