Chapter 212: Heavenly Palace Banquet, Conflicts Among the Three Religions Aroused
Human territory.
Under the rule of Daxia, the life of the human race has become more and more stable.
Although there are occasional civil strife, it will be suppressed soon and the overall situation is relatively stable.
If there is any major event, in addition to the disciples of the saints gradually preaching in the human race and competing for luck.
The status of the nine-tailed fox tribe in the human race has been rising steadily, becoming the totem auspicious beast second only to the dragon tribe.
Some high-ranking human leaders even proposed that the totem of the human race should be changed to the nine-tailed fox.
The reason is that Qi's mother is the nine-tailed fox Tushan Nvjiao.
The blood of the nine-tailed fox flows in the body of this Daxia human emperor.
Qi is naturally partial to his mother's tribe.
In addition, the nine-tailed fox is also a great tribe in the prehistoric times. If it can form an alliance with it, it can not only consolidate its own rule, but also enhance the strength of the human race.
It is a win-win situation. Qi certainly supports it strongly, so he promotes the worship of the nine-tailed fox in the human race.
In order to help Dayu control the flood, Tushan Nujiao lent her own power to the former emperor, so that she turned into a stone statue in the end.
In addition, she had some complaints about Dayu's three passing by her home without entering, and even though she was rewarded with the merit of controlling the flood, she never recovered her original body.
It was not until the establishment of the Xia Dynasty and Qi ascended the throne of the emperor that the nine-tailed fox became widely known among the human race.
Under the influence of the human race's luck, Tushan Nujiao finally lifted the petrified state, accepted Qi's commission, and went to Qingqiu.
Although the nine-tailed fox clan was a prehistoric clan, it had been in a slump since the war between witches and demons.
Even if Tushan Laozu survived, the fox clan still had a hard time surviving and could only barely ensure the normal life of the fox clan in Qingqiu.
Even after Tushan Nujiao married Dayu, with the help of the human race's luck, the situation of the fox clan improved a little.
It was also impossible to restore the nine-tailed fox clan to its peak period. Now, hearing Qi's willingness to form an alliance, Tushan Laozu immediately agreed.
And let Tushan Nujiao establish Qingqiu State, consolidate the strength of the fox tribe, and then form an alliance with the human race.
After the alliance between the human and fox tribes, many fox female fairies married human fairies.
This process lasted for nine thousand years until Qi passed the throne of the human emperor to his son Taikang.
Huang Long did not care too much about the changes in the human race.
During this period, Huang Long had been in seclusion to comprehend the great way, observe the chaotic small world inside the innate gourd vine, and divide a part of his mind to refine the star god flag.
Then three thousand years later, Taibai Jinxing personally visited Guixu.
Today, Taibai Jinxing is already a Daluo Jinxian.
He came here for only one thing, that is, to send an invitation.
It turned out that the Emperor of Heaven had returned from the catastrophe, perfected the rules of heaven, and made the power of the Heavenly Court even greater, so he specially held a banquet.
Huang Long took the invitation and put it aside.
The only spiritual fruit that the Heavenly Court could show off at this banquet was the five-needle pine, which Huang Long did not find very rare.
In his Yunyin Taoist Temple, there are five top-grade innate spiritual roots, three of which can bear fruit.
They are the innate Renshui Pantao, the innate Huangzhongli tree, the innate enlightenment tea tree, and the innate Fusang tree.
In terms of efficacy, any one of them is no worse than the five-needle pine.
Of course!
After all, this is an invitation from the Emperor of Heaven. Although he doesn't want to go, the disciples of Yunyin Taoist Temple can go to join in the fun and see the scene.
A thousand years later, under the leadership of the Queen Mother of the West, the Yunyin Taoist Temple drove the cloud to the Nine Heavens.
Like the last time, their arrival received the greatest courtesy.
After sensing the breath released by the Queen Mother of the West, Taibai Jinxing waited in advance at the South Heaven Gate to welcome the disciples of Yunyin Taoist Temple.
Daluo leads the way, this is a treatment that only the disciples of saints and some prehistoric great powers can have!
This is also the treatment that the Yunyin Taoist Temple deserves.
Even without mentioning the saint Huang Long, the two famous quasi-saints, Queen Mother of the West and Minghe, are fully worthy of this treatment.
Even the other second and third generation disciples of the Yunyin Taoist Temple are enough to attract the attention of the Heavenly Court and win a place in the Peach Festival.
In the Yaochi Fairyland.
The seats of the disciples of the Yunyin Taoist Temple are in the front row, which is closer to the front than other saints' disciples.
This scene made the disciples of the saints feel particularly complicated, with envy and helplessness.
Especially Xuandu, Nanji Xianweng, Guangchengzi, Duobao, Yaoshi, and Maitreya, they were even more complicated.
They are all outstanding disciples of the saints, with the lowest cultivation level of the late Daluo Jinxian. With the inheritance of the saints, they are not inferior to some quasi-saints.
But compared with the Guixu lineage, they are not so dazzling.
Not to mention Queen Mother of the West and Minghe, even Baimi, Shenlong and Lingxi are not weaker than them in cultivation.
After the saint's disciples arrived, Kunpeng Demon Master, Jiugong Patriarch and other quasi-saints arrived one after another.
Each of these people was a guest in Zixiao Palace, and each of them had at least the peak of the early stage of quasi-saint cultivation.
After all the guests arrived, the light flashed, and the Emperor of Heaven appeared on the main seat.
"Greetings, His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven!"
After all, everyone present today came to attend the banquet, so they still had to follow the proper etiquette.
After Haotian made a few simple speeches, he waved his hand and called the strong man fairy to serve spiritual fruits, fine wine and five-needle pine.
Kunpeng sat in the front row, looking at Haotian, whose cultivation had surpassed his own and successfully promoted to a late quasi-saint strongman, he felt mixed emotions.
Back then, Haotian was just a little Taoist boy in Zixiao Palace, with only the perfect cultivation of Taiyi Jinxian.
I don’t know how big the gap between him and Haotian is, but now, after so many years, Haotian has walked ahead of him.
Kunpeng sighed, and knew that he couldn’t go on like this.
It’s hard to break through by practicing hard, and you have to find another opportunity.
After eating and drinking, the banquet was about to end.
But at this moment, the Western Sect disciple suddenly proposed to discuss the Tao.
Haotian heard it and agreed without thinking much.
There were many people participating in this banquet, including saints and disciples, and quasi-saints.
If these people can discuss the Tao at the banquet in the Heavenly Court, it will benefit all the immortals and enhance the reputation of the Heavenly Court. Naturally, he has no reason to refuse.
The rest of the people saw that Haotian agreed, and the one who proposed this idea was a disciple of the Western Sect, so they did not raise any objections.
Moreover, discussing the Tao itself is also good for oneself.
You can verify your own Tao, and you can also improve your own Tao through the Tao described by others.
Then, the Western sect disciples immediately manifested a cloud of celebration, from which starless golden light shone, emitting endless compassion.
They even evolved into visions such as the Bodhi Wisdom Tree and the Nine-Grade Compassion Golden Lotus, which already had some future Buddhist atmosphere.
The disciples of Jiejiao and Chanjiao were not to be outdone, and they all manifested a cloud of celebration, interpreting various mysterious visions of the Great Dao.
The Shangqing Immortal Light and Yuqing Immortal Light bloomed brilliantly, the sky fell, the golden lotus surged, and the immortal music burst out.
They all understood why the Western sect disciples proposed to discuss the Dao, because in the Xuanmen Conference that just ended, the Western sect lost again.
The top three places in the Xuanmen Conference were all taken by the three sects of Ren, Jie, and Chan.
This made the Western sect feel ashamed, and the anger accumulated in their hearts, and they wanted to regain their place at the Pantao Conference.
In fact, the immortals of Jie and Chan were right, and the Western sect disciples did want to take this opportunity to turn the tables.
Because of the dragon and phoenix catastrophe and the great war between the demons, the veins of the West were damaged, the spiritual energy was scarce, and the natural treasures could not be compared with those of the East.
Compared with the three religions of human, Jie, and Chan, the Western religion is much less attractive to the prehistoric creatures.
If they cannot reverse the situation and increase the influence of the Western religion, their situation will only become more and more difficult.
In the final analysis, the prehistoric creatures are all cultivating the Great Dao.
In the eyes of the disciples of the Western religion, they are defeated by the three religions because of their lack of footwork, spiritual treasures and resources.
But if they were placed in the same environment, they would not be weaker than the disciples of the three religions.
In terms of combat power, the entire Western religion can't produce a few decent spiritual treasures, so it is naturally not a match for the disciples of the three religions.
But if it is just a simple discussion of the Dao, they may not necessarily lose.
The discussion of the Dao has nothing to do with spiritual treasures, what is compared is one's own understanding of the Great Dao.
Guixu, Yunyin Taoist Temple.
Huang Long felt something in his heart and opened his eyes to look at the heaven.
Seeing the saints' disciples in Yaochi fairyland fighting for the Tao, he showed a meaningful smile on his face.
Discussing Tao is indeed a good thing. It can bring a lot of improvement to both the listeners and the participants.
But no one expected that in the end of this discussion, the Western Sect, Jie Sect and Xian Sect could not suppress their anger.
They turned a harmonious discussion into a confrontation of coercion.
Not only did the people present not gain anything from this discussion, but they also messed up the banquet.
Not only did it offend Haotian, but it also stabbed a thorn in his heart.
It laid the groundwork for the future Conferred God Calamity.
Otherwise, even if the evolution of the Heavenly Dao requires the return of the gods in the Heavenly Court, it will be carried out in a more gentle way.
Of course, it is hard to say whether there is the shadow of Hongjun behind this.
But no matter what the facts are, Huanglong will not stop this.
Instead, he looks forward to the Conferred God War as soon as possible. Only then will the saints tacitly split the prehistoric world, and he will have a chance to break through.
Heaven.
As time passed, the disciples of Jiejiao gradually gained the upper hand due to their numerical advantage.
The Shangqing Immortal Light not only suppressed the Western Bodhi Divine Light and the Nirvana Immortal Light, but also the Yuqing Immortal Light of the Chan Sect.
Because of Yuanshi Tianzun, the Chan Sect disciples looked down on the people of Jiejiao from the bottom of their hearts.
They felt that the disciples of Jiejiao were a mob born from wet eggs and were not worthy of being compared with them.
But today, they were suppressed by the disciples of Jiejiao they looked down on, how could they accept this?
So, the Chan Sect disciples immediately shared the same hatred with the Western Sect disciples, turned around and pressed towards the Shangqing Immortal Light of Jiejiao.
Seeing this, the disciples of Jiejiao were also really angry, thinking that the Chan Sect disciples were joining the Western Sect to suppress them.
The two sides had already had some grievances, and seeing the Chan Sect disciples' undisguised attack, the Jie Sect was naturally merciless.
Xuandu on the side could not sit still any longer, and immediately manifested a cloud of auspiciousness, releasing a vast Taiqing fairy light, trying to stop these people from continuing.
Unfortunately, the three parties of Jiejiao, Chanjiao and Xifangjiao have already fought with real anger, how could they just give up like this.
As soon as the Taiqing fairy light came out, it was dragged into the battle by the Jiejiao immortals.
In the eyes of the Jiejiao immortals, Xifangjiao and Chanjiao have joined forces, and Master Xuandu of the Human Sect should help Jiejiao both emotionally and rationally.
Xuandu naturally did not want to do so, but when the Xifangjiao and Chanjiao saw him joining the battle, they regarded him as an opponent and attacked him.
Helplessly, Xuandu could only try his best to mediate the fight between the three parties in order not to cause too much impact.
But how could Xuandu fight against the three religions alone?
In the end, the banquet was messed up by them.
"Hmph! What do you think of my Heavenly Palace?"
Haotian saw this, his face was gloomy, he snorted coldly, and released the pressure of the late Quasi-Saint, interrupting the fight between the Western Sect, the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect and the Human Sect.
The immortals of the four sects also calmed down at this time. They were all shocked, knowing that this made Haotian unhappy.
However, they were proud of their status as disciples of the saints, and did not take Haotian, the Emperor of Heaven, to heart.
After apologizing to Haotian, they said goodbye and left one after another.
Mount Xumi, Paradise.
The two saints in the West were also paying attention to the Heavenly Palace, knowing that their disciples had acted too much this time.
However, the conflict between the Jie and Chan Sects also gave them an opportunity.
Their eyes flickered slightly, and I don't know what they were thinking.
Mount Shouyang, Bajing Palace.
The Saint Taiqing shook his head helplessly. He practiced the way of tranquility and inaction, and did not care too much about this matter.
But he also understood that if the Chan and Jie sects were allowed to develop like this, the two sects would eventually turn against each other.
So, he sent a message to his two junior brothers, asking them to discipline their disciples properly.
Jin'ao Island, Biyou Palace.
The Sage of Shangqing disagreed with this matter, thinking that although his disciples were wrong, the Chan sect had a greater responsibility.
As for the message of the Sage of Taiqing, he replied verbally, but did not take it to heart.
The Sage of Yuqing was the same, although he was dissatisfied with the Chan sect disciples joining forces with the Western sect.
But he did not think that his disciples were wrong. If the Jie sect disciples had not suppressed the Chan sect disciples, how could the following things happen?
...
Heaven.
Haotian looked at the backs of the four sect disciples leaving, and his face became more gloomy.
Originally, he thought that he had returned from the calamity, his merits were complete, and he had the cultivation of the late quasi-saint, which could be regarded as a stable position of the emperor of heaven.
In addition, he established the rules of heaven, which gave him more prestige in the prehistoric world.
So he held this banquet to recruit a group of talents.
If those quasi-saints could join the Heavenly Court, it would be a great gain.
But what was the result?
The banquet had just ended, and he didn't have time to say anything, and the Western Church proposed a discussion.
This was originally a good thing, but the discussion had just begun for a while, and it turned into a fight between the disciples of the four religions, and the banquet was messed up.
Seeing this situation, the great men present had no intention of staying any longer, and they all said goodbye and left.
This also led to the end of Haotian's plan before it even started.
He looked at the backs of the disciples of the four religions leaving, and a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.
In the eyes of these saints and disciples, there is no such thing as me, the Heavenly Emperor!
Sooner or later, I will make you willingly call me the Heavenly Emperor!
"If I can get these saints and disciples to join the Heavenly Court..."
Haotian's eyes flashed slightly, and he had a bold idea in his mind, but in his opinion, this might be difficult to do.
After all, the Saint's disciples were unruly, and the Heavenly Saint would not allow them to do so.
"If only the disciples of the Heavenly Saint could be like the Guixu lineage..."
Haotian sighed helplessly and turned to leave.
