Chapter 479: Visitors from Kunlun, Five-Party Talks
Moving forward slightly in time, the Earthly Immortal Realm was still in the great cause period ruled by Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.
At this time, the national destiny was still raging on the surface. The Holy Emperor and the Turks, the overlords of the grasslands, reached a brief peace, and then began to draw their own grand blueprint in the picturesque mountains and rivers, hoping to create an eternal empire and become an unparalleled emperor comparable to the Han Dynasty.
Yang Guang first started to study and obtain scholars, and then he dug the Grand Canal that ran through most of the southern continent. Because it involved the alteration and interception of many spiritual veins of the earth, the project was huge and long-lasting, wasting people and money, and the national power was overstretched.
It's just that Yang Guang's heart was as high as the sky and he was dedicated to making great achievements. At the moment when the people's livelihood was exhausted, not only did he not recuperate, but he also immediately planned a nationwide military operation to conquer Goguryeo, a powerful country in Liaodong.
However, due to his unmatched virtue, he suffered disasters. His imperial fortunes have been curtailed, and the king of the Sui Dynasty is dejected. Dragons, snakes, and grasses lurking in various places are ready to move. Thirty-six rebels have ruined the country of the Sui Dynasty, and seventy-two routes have been in smoke.
The first signs of it have emerged, and it can be said that the country is destined to be subjugated.
In the heavenly realm, since the last time we peered into the long river of humanity and received the information that a great catastrophe is about to happen, all the major forces have been surging undercurrents and collaborating with each other, hoping to seek benefits in the coming turmoil.
In the Kunlun Immortal Mansion, Sanqing, headed by Yuanshi Tianzun, sat on the cloud bed, eyes slightly closed, Taoist rhyme flowing, mind silent, thinking beyond the eight extremes, wandering to the top of the world, waiting quietly.
After a moment, an illusory network appeared in the void, intertwining into a screen of light in front of him, conveying all the unobstructed information in the world.
Soon after, the light curtain was filled with divine light, with thousands of auspicious colors, and several powerful divine thoughts descended, manifesting the form.
The incarnation of spiritual thoughts from the West is a Buddha with a bun of Buddha's bones and flesh on his head. He holds a branch inlaid with the seven Buddhist treasures in his hand. He is smiling and warm, silently moisturizing everything in the sky, and there is tranquility between heaven and earth.
Kindness and harmony interweave a piece of Sanskrit gold in the Kunlun Mountains, which is filled with good fortune and filled with fairy spirit.
"Mother Zhunti is invited!"
As the host, Yuanshi Tianzun slightly leaned forward, tapped the three precious jade Ruyi three times in his hand, pointed it at the hint, and greeted each other.
Zhunti clasped his hands together, sat cross-legged on the golden lotus, and said with a smile: "Friends of the Sanqing Dynasty, you are polite." From the Hao Tianyu in the west to the Cangtianyu in the east, the poor monk still has to go through the Jun Tianyu in the middle on the way. The journey is the longest. I thought
I was the last one to arrive, but I didn't expect to be the first one. These fellow Taoists are really busy with their work, or in other words, they are claiming to be superior to others and deliberately arrived late at the end?"
As soon as Zhunti finished speaking, a ray of blue light followed, revealing the face of an exquisite and dignified goddess. A clear and pleasant sound, like thousands of waters playing in unison, a clear and tinkling sound that nurtured all things and said dissatisfiedly: "Quite.
Fellow Taoist Ti always never forgets to stir up trouble and sow dissension. Although there is endless time and space in the heaven above, for you and me, the distance and the end of the world are just a thought. It is just from the Xuantian Realm of the North Pole to the Cangtian Realm of the East.
During this time, there were some high-dimensional chaotic secret realms that delayed Guhuang for a moment, otherwise how could you be allowed to go ahead?"
"Hahaha, what the Dragon King said is what I mean. Although the Haotian Territory is far away in the West, the central Juntian Territory is mysterious and unpredictable. Although it is in the center of the upper heaven, it is not entirely in the same time and space. On the contrary, it is certain
To a certain extent, it has shortened the distance between various places passing through this place. In this way, Taoist friend Zhunti has taken advantage of it, but acted like a villain and acted like a good person, which is not what a gentleman would do."
Zhunti was ridiculed one after another, but his face had already become thick to a certain extent, and he didn't care as if the breeze was blowing on his face. He looked with a smile and looked at him who arrived at almost the same time as Dragon King Ao Yi, suddenly lit up, and stretched out boundlessly in the Kunlun Mountains.
Two groups of light and shadow, purple air and golden light.
"Fellow Taoist Confucius and Taoist Xuanyuan came hand in hand. The poor Taoist would not welcome us from afar, but it would be a loss of etiquette."
After seeing the ceremony, Yuanshi Tianzun and Ao Yi bowed their heads to Confucius and Fu Xi again.
"Fellow Taoist Yuanshi is too polite. It's just that the two incarnations of spiritual thoughts scattered in the crowd are not worthy of the grand ceremony that fellow Taoist welcomes."
After Xuanyuan finished speaking, his eyes swept across the people sitting there, fell on Ao Yi, and praised: "My fellow Taoist body has a charm of water leaking out, and the dragon's luck is booming, but the momentum is as deep as an abyss, and the laws are as condensed as one, faintly revealing the immortality."
It seems that the rumors about the destruction of the Hunyuan image are true. We have really touched the true meaning of the Hunyuan. The road is in sight!"
His words were full of praise, but there was no hint of envy or jealousy. It was obvious that he was magnanimous and confident, and was not worried about being temporarily behind others.
Ao Yi and Xuanyuan were both Humanity Emperors, and they had signed the Human-Dragon Covenant. Naturally, they had shouted at each other many times, and their friendship had long been beyond ordinary. Hearing this, a reserved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he did not hide his joy and said with a smile: "
It's just that Taoists have made some progress and have a superficial understanding of the Hunyuan Avenue. It's still too early to say that the Great Avenue is in sight. Fellow Taoist Fuxi and Fellow Taoist Zhen Yuanzi had already attained the Tao when the two realms were separated, but it took a lot of effort.
It took millions of years to officially attain enlightenment, so it can be seen that there is still a huge gap between attainment and enlightenment."
As he spoke, he suddenly showed shame and said with emotion: "Speaking of which, Emperor Gu was born in the middle of the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation, earlier than all of you fellow Taoists, and he followed Your Majesty a long time ago, but now we are both in Zifu Continent.
All of my colleagues who served as ministers have attained enlightenment one after another, but the lonely emperor has been the only one who has held back, and has only now touched the threshold of Hunyuan. I feel ashamed of your majesty's cultivation."
Everyone was filled with emotion after hearing the words. Among the veterans of the same generation as Zifuzhou and Ao Yi, Zhenwu, Ziguang, Qingtongjun and even Yinglong had already realized the Hunyuan Tao. Even Zhenyuan who later followed the Yellow Emperor Xuanming in the process of spreading the martial arts.
She has already attained enlightenment. She has been the Dragon Emperor for countless years and has enjoyed all the luck of the dragon clan. She only attained enlightenment at this time. Looking at it this way, she is indeed not that powerful.
It's just that the enlightenment of Hunyuan is about chance, and the foundation is equally important, which determines to a certain extent the upper limit of what a person can achieve.
Ao Yi had a prosperous fortune and abundant opportunities, but he was only a little lacking in fundamentals and could not compare with the great masters such as Sanqing at the same time.
This is also a helpless thing. Since the beginning of the world, there have been no more than ten fingers with feet that can rival Sanqing. Not to mention her, even if the ancestral dragon is resurrected, she will be willing to be inferior.
As the Ancestral Dragon Princess, Ao Yi was once again lacking in basic skills. Although she made up for it through various magical powers, secrets, and rare treasures in the later period to strengthen her innate origin and reach the level of being on par with the first echelon of great powers, it also took endless years.
, delaying the time of enlightenment.
On this point, Xuanyuan deeply agrees. All the powerful people who are aspiring to Hunyuan Avenue, but have insufficient foundation and limited upper limit, are trying to do the same thing as Ao Yi, including himself, Di Hong, Lei Ni,
Shennong, Sakyamuni, Zhedan, Yaochi, Xuandu and others are all making various efforts.
It's just that among the three realms, things that can strengthen the innate origin must be innate and must be consistent with one's own attributes. They are very rare. Therefore, every time a rare treasure of heaven and earth comes out, it always attracts the attention of all major forces.
"The Dragon Emperor is your Majesty's old minister. He has made great contributions to your Majesty. Who doesn't admire him in the three realms? Your Majesty is a nostalgic person. The Dragon Emperor is enlightened. He must be very happy. How can he blame you? Why should fellow Taoists feel ashamed?"
Zhunti comforted him with a smile, and then said: "That's true. If His Majesty hadn't cared about the old relationship, he would not have merged the three clans of Dragon and Phoenix into one, with the Dragon clan in charge of the imperial seal. This is a reward for the Dragon clan's strong support in the past."
"What Taoist Taoist Zhunti said is true. The Dragon King's loyalty to His Majesty can be seen from heaven and earth, and I admire it." Yuanshi Tianzun continued with a smile, paused slightly, and waited for everyone to look over, then continued: "Seven forces were originally invited.
, this time only five schools including Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Human Race, and Dragon Race came here. Although they are not perfect, there is nothing they can do about it. I just don’t know what the Witch King and Yaoguang Goddess want?"
When talking about business, Ao Yi suppressed his smile and said calmly: "The Lone Emperor and the Witch Emperor are also familiar, and I know a little bit about his attitude. Although the ancestral witches are still full of ambitions for the leading role in the world after their return, the witches
The emperor himself has no ambitions, he is only obsessed with martial arts and wants to follow in His Majesty's footsteps, so he has no interest in fighting for hegemony."
Xuanyuan's thick sword eyebrows spread out and he said with a smile: "Since the birth of the Witch Emperor, he has never stopped pursuing the Tao. He has challenged almost all the strong men in the three realms. He has fought thousands of battles without ever losing. His sincerity
The lonely emperor admires his heart for martial arts the most. If he has no intention of competing for world domination, the lonely emperor would not be surprised."
Zhunti said with envy: "The Witch Clan has Empress Houtu, the Taishi Realm ancestral witch, who is meant to last forever and is innately invincible. There is also the Witch Emperor who is so powerful that he covers the world, and the Xuanming Ancestral Witch is so brave that he will become the protagonist of the world.
, it won’t have any impact on them, anyway, the Witch King will never lack the support of luck.”
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded and said: "With the Witch Emperor guarding the top, Xing Tian, Jiufeng, Xiang Liu, Feng Bo, Ancient Wisdom Tree, Mother of the Earth and other powerful people are loyal followers. Even though the Ancestral Witch once ruled the Witch Clan for an era, now
But we can’t afford to make a big splash. Now it seems that the Wu clan forces can be included in the neutral camp for the time being. What will happen in the future depends on the development of the situation."
Confucius said: "Leave aside the Wu Clan for now, the Zha Clan is only supported by the goddess of light. The lower-level forces suffered all casualties in the war between the two realms. Although they have recovered a lot in these years, they are still far behind the five major royal families in the prehistoric times.
It’s far away, so they don’t dare to give up easily, so it’s understandable that they have a wait-and-see attitude for the time being.”
Yuanshi Tianzun said calmly: "In this case, we cannot force the Witch King and the Goddess of Fluctuating Light to participate in the talks. However, these two parties are neutral, and the power of our five families is enough. It is time to stir up the turmoil and clear up the turmoil, so that all the demons and ghosts in the Three Realms can be eliminated.
