No taboos in the world

Chapter 595 You also shut up and act calmly

Facing Hong Chen's gaze, Emperor Xin, as the Emperor of Man, couldn't help but feel a little scared even though he had already made psychological preparations countless times in private.

In other words, in addition to his fear of Hong Chen's own strength, he also felt guilty towards Hong Chen in his heart, so much so that his eyes were unconsciously avoiding him.

Hong Chen did not keep staring at him. When he saw Emperor Xin's eyes avoiding him, he suddenly smiled and turned back to look at Zhunti.

"It seems that you have already met each other. Today, apart from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, the more important thing is probably to seize the Kongtong Seal in my hand, right?"

Zhunti smiled and nodded with tears on his face: "My nephew is indeed very smart. However, as mortals often say, too much wisdom will lead to harm. Today, my nephew has experienced some setbacks. I believe he can make further progress in the future."

Hearing this, Hong Chen also laughed and asked, "So, I should thank my uncle for taking the trouble to teach me?"

"That's not necessary."

Zhunti glanced at Emperor Xin, moved him to his side, and said, "Now that the Emperor has obtained the Kongtong Seal, he should fulfill his promise."

Emperor Xin didn't look at Hong Chen, but nodded and replied: "Don't worry, Saint, I will not break my promise."

Hong Chen asked: "What did you agree to? Withdrawal? Withdraw from the Western Land?"

Facing his direct question, Emperor Xin could no longer ignore it and could only nod and say, "Yes. I hope Emperor Xuanling will understand how difficult it is for me."

Without waiting for Hong Chen to speak, Zhunti said: "The human race needs education, and Buddhism can also lend a helping hand to the human race."

Hong Chen narrowed his eyes.

Emperor Xin tightly grasped the Kongtong Seal and nodded again: "Buddhism can preach, but it should also abide by the laws of the Shang Dynasty."

Zhunti: "Of course. The Buddhist precepts are strict, the Emperor can rest assured."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

Hong Chen laughed out loud: "The Conferred God Tribulation hasn't even passed yet, and Buddhism can't wait to spread eastward?"

Zhunti sighed, "Alas! My nephew has also been to the West and seen the barren land and the poor sentient beings there. Everything I have done is to restore the veins and vitality of the Western land, not for my own selfish interests."

Emperor Xin also said at this time: "Your Majesty, if the West can be restored, then the human race living in the West will also benefit from it, and I, as the Emperor of Mankind, can also rest assured."

"Is this the reason you use to convince yourself?" Hong Chen asked, "Putting the hope of the human race on the efforts of others? Or is this just an excuse?"

The corner of Emperor Xin's eye twitched, and he took a deep breath and said, "With the current situation of the Shang Dynasty, it is difficult to rule the western land. I need time to manage the government, and the human race also needs time..."

"All right!"

Hong Chen waved his hand to interrupt: "You'd better shut up. There's not a single word I like to hear."

Emperor Xin looked unhappy and kept silent.

Zhunti said at this time: "Hey, how can you talk to the Emperor like this?"

Hong Chen: "You shut up too!"

Zhunti was stunned, and was about to take the opportunity to get angry, but then he heard Hong Chen say:

"If you say one more word, I will immediately ask my master to block the entrance of the Western Two Saints. You won't be able to leave from now on! Do you want to try?"

Zhunti's face twitched and he dared not speak.

Nuwa was the first person to become a saint through the righteous path after Hongjun Daozu. It was also because of her process of attaining sainthood that she provided inspiration for the Three Pure Ones and the Two Saints of the West. Although they would have found a way sooner or later even without Nuwa, the fact that the one who gets there first is already there is an indisputable fact.

Therefore, although we cannot say that Nuwa Saint has the highest level of understanding, at least she is not inferior to other saints.

Moreover, Nuwa attained enlightenment first, and she seldom takes action or shows up in public, so no one knows how strong she is now.

But Zhunti knows a little bit.

Because during the process of conferring gods in the Three Realms, when the heavenly incarnation of the Sage Zhunti controlled Emperor Xin to write a poem in the Nuwa Palace, the ancient Nuwa directly blocked the way of the Sage Zhunti, and a shocking battle between the saints broke out with the two saints from the West.

If they are really blocked by Nuwa, then Jie Yin and Zhunti will really be unable to do anything next.

Leave everything to Tathagata?
Then they were still not sure whether Tathagata was a match for Hong Chen.

After all, in addition to his dazzling practice of the Great Dao, Hong Chen also has a collection of top-grade innate spiritual treasures and the number one killing formation in the Heavenly Dao.

Hong Chen turned his gaze and looked at Emperor Xin.

"It seems that you chose not the human race, but the Shang Dynasty."

Emperor Xin said: "In my opinion, there is no difference between the two."

Hong Chen shook his head: "The difference is too big. Today you can only see the Great Shang, then tomorrow it will be difficult for you to expand your vision to the larger human race."

"I am the Lord of the Shang Dynasty!" Emperor Xin suddenly became a little excited: "The Conferred God War should not have anything to do with the human race, let alone mortals. However, since the Conferred God War began, do you know how many people have died? The Western Land has been fighting for more than 20 years. How many Shang warriors have died?"

"Of course I know."

Hong Chen responded without hesitation, and the Six Paths of Reincarnation instantly appeared behind him.

Countless souls appeared in the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, and the past and present of all the soldiers who died in the battle were presented with incredible clarity.

Emperor Xin was stunned when he saw this.

After a pause, he said, "I know that the Great Emperor has the human race in his heart, and I am also very moved by everything the Great Emperor has done for the human race. But I still say that since I am the ruler of the Great Shang, I must consider the Great Shang. In the Great Emperor's heart, there is only the human race, not the Great Shang."

After hearing his words, Hong Chen didn't know how to respond for a moment.

refute?

There seems to be nothing to refute, because in his eyes, although he still supports Da Shang at this moment, the premise for doing so is that Da Shang represents the human race, so in essence he still supports the human race rather than Da Shang.

anger?
That would be even more unnecessary, because Emperor Xin did nothing wrong. He was indeed the ruler of the Shang Dynasty, and the blood of the Shang royal family flowed in his body. He should be responsible for the Shang Dynasty.

Frustrated?

This is not the case. Although the scene of Emperor Xin and the Western Religion joining forces did exceed Hong Chen's expectations, Emperor Xin was the Emperor of Man, and he naturally had his own methods and ways of governing. He had said before that the Emperor's rule should not be affected, not even by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors before him. Now he would not be double-standard for his own sake.

The root of everything seems to be summed up in just seven words:

Different road non-phase plan.

Emperor Xin seized the Kongtong Seal in order to better consolidate and inherit the Shang Dynasty, and also to make his position as the Human Emperor more legitimate.

Stopping the war in the West and allowing Buddhism to spread eastwards are not mistakes; they are merely adjustments to the strategic direction of humanity.

Silence for a long time.

Hong Chen nodded and said, "The mark I left in the Kongtong Seal must not be erased, as for the rest... you can do as you please." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhunti said again: "The Kongtong Seal should be controlled by the Human Emperor. My nephew's action is probably inappropriate." Hong Chen turned around, his eyes like swords.

"I said no, but if you disagree, you can try."

Zhunti's face darkened at this time: "Is this the attitude of a nephew talking to a saintly uncle? If I really want to take action, your master may not be able to save you in time."

Hearing this, Hong Chen did not reply to him, but only said: "You can fight now."

Before Zhunti could react, he saw a slender, white hand suddenly break through the air and a slap landed on Zhunti's face at an impossible speed.

Immediately, the Bodhisattva Cundi was knocked high into the air, crashing into the walls and smashing several palaces.

The next second, a pair of white jade-like feet stepped beside Hong Chen. Empress Pingxin clapped her hands and pouted with disgust on her face.

"This really dirty my hands."

Turning her head, she looked at Hong Chen and smiled: "It seems that you have cultivated the Great Dao of Reincarnation very well. The underground aura is also very strong. You can actually directly transform the Great Shang Palace, which has a very strong human aura, into an underground space-time in an instant." She also looked around with interest: "I haven't been back to this land for a long time."

"As for the road of reincarnation, I am far inferior to Your Majesty. I was only able to make the transition in a short period of time relying on the humanity and favor from the underground that I had gathered before. Thank you Your Majesty for coming from afar to help me. I am very grateful." Hong Chen bowed lightly.

Hearing the exchange between the two, Emperor Xin was also startled, and quickly bowed to Empress Pingxin: "Emperor Xin, meet Empress Pingxin."

However, Empress Pingxin ignored it.

Zhunti suddenly returned with a red slap mark on his face. He was still shocked: "How can you leave the underworld? How can the heaven allow you to do so?"

Lady Pingxin said playfully, "Why don't you quickly call your Heavenly Dao to beat me?"

Of course Zhunti called out, but unfortunately his call did not receive any response or feedback, so he was shocked.

But he soon understood and his eyes fell on Hong Chen.

Apart from Hong Chen, he couldn't think of any other reason.

"My nephew's great cultivation is indeed astonishing."

Hong Chen stopped being modest and smiled frankly: "How is it? Much better than before you became a saint, right?"

Empress Pingxin couldn't help but glance at him sideways, "How can you say that? Although he was a little weak before he became a saint, he was also a registered disciple personally recognized by the Taoist Ancestor."

"Oh? There is such a connection? May I ask, Madam, how did he become a registered disciple?"

"Of course... it was from crying, hahahahahahaha..." Empress Pingxin really couldn't help but burst out laughing on the spot.

The two of them sang in unison, stepping on Zhunti's face and rubbing it hard.

But Zhunti is Zhunti after all. There was only a brief trace of unhappiness on his face before he smiled again.

"Nephew, the Shang Dynasty is about to withdraw its troops, and there is no reason for the West to continue to interfere in the Conferred God Tribulation. You should quickly gather the disciples of Jiejiao, so as not to delay too long and fall into someone's trap."

Hong Chen also adjusted himself. He said, "It's okay. There are only a dozen names missing from the Conferred God List. At worst, I can go to the West to wait from today. It won't take a few years to gather enough people. If there are more people like the pharmacist on the list, Uncle Haotian will not have to worry about having no one to use in the future. What do you think, Uncle?"

Even though Zhunti was very thick-skinned, he couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard that.

The pharmacist is a disciple directly taught by the saint, and he may break through to the quasi-saint realm and reach the pinnacle of the Golden Immortal at any time.

Such a disciple who was highly respected in the West, died on the battlefield in the West, and was killed by the Three Sisters of the outer sect of Jiejiao.

At that time, only Tiandao and Jie Yin knew how heartbroken the Bodhisattva Zhunti was crying.

"My nephew is so arrogant, aren't you afraid that the past will happen again?"

"Haha, Uncle Master is talking about the four saints joining forces to fight Uncle Master Tongtian?"

Zhunti remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.

Hong Chen smiled and said, "It is no problem for my master to fight two alone. Lady Pingxin is a genuine saint, and the only genuine saint in countless Yuanhui. Not to mention winning the battle, at least it is no problem to stop Saint Yuanshi."

Zhunti: "My nephew, I'm afraid you are too idealistic. Since Daozu has confined Tongtian, he can't even think of returning until the Conferred God Tribulation is completely over. Could it be that my nephew means that you can defeat the Great Purity Saint?"

A quasi-saint facing a saint has no chance of winning even if he holds an innate treasure. The best he can do is rely on sneak attacks.

Even if a saint is killed in one wave, the saint's true spirit is entrusted to the way of heaven and can return in a blink of an eye. At that time, it will be a situation of death.

What Zhunti said was exactly the situation that Hong Chen was facing right now, where he had almost no choice.

There are only a few saints in the ancient times.

No matter how you arrange it, there will always be a vacant position.

Hong Chen looked at Zhunti with burning eyes: "My ideal is that Niangniang Pingxin faces the Saint Taiqing, and Master faces the Saint Yuanshi and Saint Jieyin. As for me, my cultivation is not good enough, so I can only be a rival to Uncle Master Zhunti."

These words are undoubtedly a humiliation to Zhunti.

But Zhunti was thick-skinned and said calmly, "Then I hope that you, Changmai, who I am looking forward to, will appear as promised. I also want to test the level of you, the Xuanling Emperor."

If a fight really breaks out according to this logic, Hong Chen will have no chance of winning.

A saint is a saint, no matter how weak he is, he is undoubtedly a saint.

Even if one had the best killing formation in the heavens and many top-grade spiritual treasures, it would be as ridiculous as a mantis trying to stop a chariot in front of a saint.

However, Zhunti knew the importance of Hong Chen to Honghuang, so he would never let Hong Chen die no matter what.

This is all because too much loan was taken out back then, so over the years, one can often hear words like "...we are destined to be together" in Honghuang.

Putting aside his character, he was still quite moved by Zhunti's persistence and perseverance.

Of course, this does not affect Hong Chen's determination to kill the Buddhists.

Hong Chen took one last look at Emperor Xin, then his gaze fell on the Kongtong Seal.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the Taiqing Saint who had previously mastered the Kongtong Seal.

Did this saint who advocates the doctrine of inaction already foresee this scene when his direct disciple, Master Xuan Gong, handed the Kongtong Seal to Hong Chen?
The Sage Taiqing seldom took the initiative to make moves in the ancient times, but every time an event was over, people would suddenly realize that his gains each time were astonishingly huge.

This is a truly tough opponent.

"The Kongtong Seal must not be lost, Emperor Xin, do you remember that?"

Emperor Xin nodded: "I understand."

Hong Chen nodded, and immediately teleported away with Empress Pingxin.

Now, he began to wonder what kind of benefits the Chan sect had provided in this rebellion that could directly change Emperor Xin's strategy.
