After the gods in heaven were entrusted with each other, they returned to their respective positions and entered each office in the thirty-two days to perform their duties.
In addition, the Heavenly Court had too many things to be responsible for, and the thousands of gods were all the chief officials of some major departments, which was far from enough to effectively rule the three realms, so they began to recruit openly in the three realms.
Dongwanggong asked the chief officers at all levels to replenish their manpower first, and then opened up some of the rights to the list of gods, allowing the chief officers to canonize minor gods by themselves to a certain extent.
They can use their own Shinto talismans to communicate with the God List and gather Shinto talismans lower than their own.
All the information about the Shinto talisman and its divine position will naturally appear on the list of gods, and will be incorporated into the system to form a link and constraint. It can also be regarded as a unified canonization by the list of gods.
Nowadays, the power of the Heavenly Court is unparalleled. Naturally, many people come to join, including many from the human race, as well as some from the demon race and other hundreds of races. It is filled up very quickly.
Among the remaining human races in the heaven, there was an immortal named Li Changgeng who also came to serve.
It is said that since the fall of the Lich, the life of the remaining heavenly people has become much better. They no longer have to worry about becoming the demon clan's food at any time, so they develop rapidly and multiply quickly.
In addition, the spiritual energy in the heaven is rich and all are derived from pure energy. For immortal cultivation, it is twice the result with half the effort. There are also many immortal cultivation methods in the heaven, which has led to the emergence of some immortals from the human race in the heaven, and Li Changgeng is one of the best.
Duke Dong Wang saw that Li Changgeng was smart, discerning, and very good at figuring out what was best for him, so he kept him close by and gave him the position of Taibai Jinxing.
Taibai Jinxing is the star king's karma position, and is generally not granted to those below Taiyi Jinxian, so he is only a temporary substitute. Only when he becomes Taiyi Jinxian one day can he become a full member.
After the Great Court meeting dispersed, Prince Dong also returned to Miluo Palace. As the Heavenly Emperor moved into Daluotian, there were naturally many female guards, fairy palace maidens, boy warriors, etc. to attend to his daily life. Therefore, although Miluo Palace is the residence of the Heavenly Emperor,
But it's not actually deserted.
After a while, Empress Nuwa came to visit. Duke Dong Wang welcomed her into the palace. The empress smiled and said: "The Great Heavenly Lord rules Wuji, and his mighty virtue is added to the three realms. All living beings are not afraid of mighty virtue. It is true."
congratulations."
Duke Dong said: "Your Majesty is so complimentary. She will never be as free as your Majesty, who lives outside the heaven."
Empress Nuwa said: "I have taken the liberty to come to visit you, and I have an unkind invitation. I hope Your Majesty will not be surprised."
Dong Wangzheng said: "But for the purpose of attracting demon flags?"
Empress Nuwa said: "Exactly. After all, this treasure is an important weapon of the demon clan. Although Emperor Jun is dead and the demon summoning flag is of little use, I still hope that your majesty can return it to the demon clan."
Duke Dong said in a deep voice: "I originally wanted to give this treasure to Emperor Gouchen. Since the empress has spoken, I should return it. However, if there are monsters who sincerely join the heaven, I hope the empress can release their true spirits."
Empress Nuwa said: "This is natural. There are descendants of the demon clan who are willing to make progress and serve in heaven. I am also very happy and will not restrain them anymore."
Duke Dong said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that you are not here just to attract demon flags, right?"
Empress Nuwa said: "To be honest, my brother Fuxi died in the final battle, and only his true spirit is left. I used the heavenly secrets the day before yesterday and found that the human race has great potential, and three emperors were born. I want my brother to join the human race and become an emperor.
, not only promotes the development of the human race, but also accumulates merit. I wonder what your Majesty wants?"
Duke Dong thought to himself, now that the great catastrophe has passed, the heavens are no longer chaotic. With the strength of Nuwa, the heavenly saint, it is not difficult to predict the future.
Although the human race is currently only the first choice for the protagonist of heaven and earth, with the Nuwa Empress behind him and the saints who are about to be born, the position of the protagonist of heaven and earth is also secure.
There are three emperors in the human race, which is considered to be the greatest force in heaven. As for who will be the three emperors, there is no definite number, and it is not impossible for Fuxi to do it.
"With the relationship between Taoist Fellow Fuxi and the empress, it is not impossible to be a human emperor. And if his merits are great enough, there is still hope for him to become the Supreme Being."
"A perfect person?" Nuwa's heart suddenly moved. This is the second-most attained status after a saint. As long as you become a perfect person, you will be immortal. The temptation to all non-saints is definitely strong enough.
"This, the credit is easy to say, but are there any other needs?" Nuwa Empress considered it.
Duke Dong understood that this was the condition given to him by Empress Nuwa. After all, it was the general trend for the Supreme Being to return to his throne, but there was no fixed number of who would become the Supreme Being. Now that Zi Qi was in his hands, the decision-making power rested with him.
"There is no rush. The human race has just started now, and it is far from enough to give birth to the Three Emperors. We will wait until the time comes. I believe that Taoist Fuxi has a deep blessing, and there must be a great chance to achieve perfection." Dongwang Gong planned to hang his daughter first.
According to Empress Wa's appetite, wait until the time comes and then discuss the terms with her.
Although Empress Nuwa hoped to reach an agreement immediately and confirm the identity of Fuxi's empress, Prince Dong refused to tell him, and she could not force him, so she had no choice but to leave, thinking about what conditions she could offer to impress Prince Dong.
Prince Dong thought for a while, then got up and went down to the heaven, and went straight to the netherworld.
In the Reincarnation Hall, Hou Tu opened his eyes and saw Duke Dong Wang arriving. He smiled and said, "The Great Heavenly Lord is here. I am sorry that I missed you from afar. Please forgive me."
Prince Dong laughed and said, "It's okay if you want me to forgive you. You have to show it."
Hou Tu said: "How do you want me to express it, Your Majesty?"
Duke Dong said: "I exchanged something with you, and you agreed readily. I was in a happy mood, so I decided to argue with you. How about it?"
Hou Tu's eyes wandered and he said with a smile: "What do you value about what I have here? The Chaos Clock?"
Duke Dong said: "It's not the Chaos Bell, it's the white lotus on your body."
Hou Tu suddenly said: "So this is it?" He stretched out his left hand, and the Pure World White Lotus appeared, and said: "What do you want to exchange for it?"
Dongwang Gongdao: "The top earth element spiritual root is Huang Zhongli."
Hou Tu said: "I won't change."
Dong Wangong said: "Don't refuse so quickly, I am serious. Considering the past relationship between the two of us, you should think about it carefully."
Hou Tu said: "I am serious too. Spiritual roots are of no use to me, but this white lotus is of some use. Also, don't talk about past relationships with me. You have become more and more distant from me recently. Now you have to ask for help from me."
It’s too late to think about love.”
Prince Dong said fairly: "I didn't mean to alienate you, but some people didn't allow it."
Hou Tu said: "Who in heaven and on earth can control you? Is it the Queen Mother?"
Duke Dong said: "It's not just her, there are some people who are more powerful than her. They hate me when they see me getting close to you. I have no choice but to reduce the number of times I meet you."
Hou Tu's face turned cold and he said, "Who is it?"
Prince Dong said vaguely: "I don't know exactly who they are, but there's nothing you and I can do about them. There's no point in going into detail."
Hou Tu said: "In that case, why are you here now?"
Dongwanggong said: "I came here under pressure."
Hou Tu snorted and said: "You only think of me when you need something from me. I am usually neither cold nor hot. Do you think I am easy to bully?"
Prince Dong said fairly: "Say your conditions. As long as they are not excessive, I will handle it immediately. But this white lotus is useful to me, so you have to give it to me."
Hou Tu smiled and said: "I'll give it to you. I've already understood the principles here. This spiritual treasure's defensive power is useless to me. It's no longer of much use to me. I don't want you either.
How about you accompany me to discuss the Tao for three thousand years?"
The corner of Dongwanggong's mouth twitched. Heaven had just been established. How could he have time for romance? Besides, it would be hard to explain to the Queen Mother that he disappeared for three thousand years just after he ascended the throne! But thinking of this white lotus, he gritted his teeth and decided to sacrifice his luster again:
"Okay, let's talk about Tao for three thousand years."
Hou Tu said: "Aren't you afraid of what those people say?"
Duke Dong said: "I am the supreme Emperor of Heaven, what do you have to be afraid of? Hurry up, I'm pressed for time."
Three thousand years later, Prince Dong came out of the Palace of Reincarnation with a white lotus in his arms. After taking a few steps, his expression suddenly changed and he saw a figure appearing in front of him.
"Your Majesty disappeared for three thousand years, leaving the officials to find you easily. I didn't expect you to be here with the Emperor, so I worry about you in vain." Although the Queen Mother of the West spoke softly, her face was light and there was no hint of happiness or anger.
However, Duke Dong Wang felt guilty and said hurriedly: "I came here to exchange for a spiritual treasure from the Emperor of the Earth, which is the Pure World White Lotus that is of great use to us. I told you before."
The Queen Mother of the West nodded and said: "It took Your Majesty three thousand years to replace this spiritual treasure. He is worthy of being the Great Heavenly Lord of the Three Realms, and his efficiency in doing things is very comparable to others."
Duke Dong said: "The Earth Emperor happened to ask a few questions about cultivation. I will give you some answers. I didn't expect that it would take so long."
Queen Mother Xi smiled slightly and said, "So that's it? That's what it should be."
Duke Dong said: "I have already taken this white lotus. How about we go back to heaven together?"
Queen Mother of the West said: "Your Majesty, please go on your own, I have something to do."
Duke Dong said: "There is no rush at this moment. I have some things to discuss with you, so why not go back first!"
Queen Mother of the West said: "I have a few questions to ask the Emperor of the Earth. She should be able to answer my questions. Your Majesty, please don't stay any longer. You have already delayed a lot of things by leaving for three thousand years."
Dongwanggong's eyes were dark, and he realized that this place was not a place to stay for a long time, so he decided to avoid the limelight first, and nodded: "That's fine, since you have something to do, I will go back first."
Let us also say that since the Heavenly Court ceremony that day, the immortals who had not served in the Heavenly Court each returned to their caves. After seeing the powerful strength of the Heavenly Court, these people also felt the pressure and went into seclusion to practice hard.
After the Sanqing returned to Kunlun, they felt unhappy. They were originally the saints of heaven designated by ancestor Hongjun, with the purple energy of Hongmeng. But after so many years, they have not been able to become saints.
But the three people, Dongwanggong, Xiwangmu and Houtu, who did not have the Hongmeng Purple Qi, realized Hunyuan one after another, which gave them a lot of stimulation and pressure.
However, Taiqing Laozi felt that they had not been able to realize the opportunity of becoming a saint after so many years, so he decided to follow the example of Nuwa and travel around to see if he could also find an opportunity to become a saint.
After traveling around the ancient land for more than a hundred years, I found nothing. He thought of Nuwa, the empress, who created humans to become saints, and also thought of the Emperor of Heaven saying in the Zixiao Palace that humans will replace the two lich clans and become the first choice for the new protagonists of the world.
clan, and immediately became interested in the human race.
So he began to consciously contact the human race again, slowly observing their habits, and even transformed into an old man and personally participated in the activities of the human race.
Along the way, I gradually realized something. On this day, I came to the junction of Dongsheng Shenzhou and Zhongsheng Shengzhou. There is a simple and beautiful sacred mountain here called Shouyang Mountain, which was once the ancestral land of a human tribe.
Now this tribe has developed and grown, and Shouyang Mountain has become one of the birthplaces of the human race. Countless tribes gather around it and are extremely prosperous.
Laozi opened a cave in Shouyang Mountain. In addition to enlightenment, he communicated with the human race every day. He saw that the human race was weak in body, and although they were intelligent and intelligent, they had poor resistance to natural disasters and man-made disasters, and their life span was short, so he created
He developed a method of cultivation called Jindan Dao.
This golden elixir avenue is mainly a cultivation method for earth immortals and below. It is divided into four realms: refining energy to transform, refining energy to transform into spirit, practicing spirit to return to void, and refining void to combine with Tao. The human body is treated as a big medicine. This is
The inner alchemy technique is supplemented by the outer alchemy method in alchemy. The combination is very suitable for the human race.
I preached in this Shouyang Mountain. The human race has obtained the method of cultivation and its strength has grown rapidly. There are many people who are already at a high level, but they have not practiced systematically, resulting in empty power and unable to use it.
Not long after, some people who were originally at a high level became Earth Immortals through systematic cultivation, and officially joined the mainstream immortal way in the ancient world. I then bestowed cultivation methods above those of Earth Immortals, which led to the emergence of masters from the human race. Therefore, the human race regarded me as
Master, I often pay homage to you.
I don't care about them. He feels that as the golden elixir avenue spreads widely among the human race, a kind of humane great fortune gradually gathers, causing the Hongmeng purple energy to beat frequently, and it actually begins to communicate with the way of heaven.
However, although the opportunity has been determined to belong to the human race, the last step has never been clearly understood. He also thought of the past in the Zixiao Palace, where the Taoist ancestors said that the saints preached, taught, and solved doubts, and also gave the treasure to suppress the fate of the great sect. Could this last step be related to the great sect?
Teaching related?
As soon as he thought about this, his heart suddenly became enlightened. What he had done during this period of time was not that he had already started preaching. Therefore, the purple energy of Hongmeng often beat, so the only thing left was to establish a religion.
Suddenly all doubts were gone, and he stood up and said: "I, Taiqing Laozi, today established a human religion to preach, accept karma and resolve doubts, educate the human race, lead people to good deeds, help people achieve enlightenment, and suppress the Qi with the Nine-Dragon Golden Staff and the Xuanhuang Exquisite Tower of Heaven and Earth.
transport."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the way of heaven, which stirred up the purple energy of the Hongmeng, evolved into the wheel of heaven, held up my soul, and gradually merged into the void.
And there is also a gathering of golden light of merit and virtue in the sky. The number is extremely huge, second only to the merits gained by the Empress Nuwa when she created humans and made them saints.
The merits fell into Laozi's Yuan Shen, and the golden light was rendered and shook violently. It also led to the opening of the sky's merits hidden deep in the Yuan Shen. When the two were combined, the boundless Taoist charm began to evolve.
I was immersed in the enlightenment of the Dao, and at the last moment I beheaded the third corpse. However, at this time, nearly half of the merits of the soul had been consumed, and they condensed into the complete Hunyuan Dao Fruit. The holy status was achieved immediately, and the three corpses were united into one.
, is no longer possible.
However, due to his strong foundation and strong merits due to the fact that all three corpses were killed before becoming a saint, as soon as I became a saint, I immediately reached the third level of Hunyuan, which was even better than the current Nuwa Empress.
I sighed, looking at the boundless visions between heaven and earth, I didn't know what it felt like in my heart, some were happy and some were bitter, some were sour and some were sweet.
He glanced at the human race who were kneeling and the young man who had been begging for three years outside the cave, and asked: "I have ignored you for three years, but now you are still willing to worship me as your teacher?"
The young man said excitedly: "Disciple meets his mentor."
Lao Tzu said: "Okay, since you join my sect, I will give you the Taoist title - Xuandu!"
