The Tai Chi diagram slowly opened, and two figures flew out from it, landing smoothly in front of the palace gate.
It was Li Pingan and Queen Mother Yaochi who came.
Yaochi has put on a plain dress. Although the majestic and graceful look that has been cultivated between her eyebrows cannot be hidden, at this moment, she has a smile on her lips and gleaming eyes. She is always shining brightly, and I feel pity for her.
She took the initiative to fall half a body behind, took two quick steps to hold Li Ping'an's arm, and spoke carefully:
"Your Majesty, why did you bring me here?"
"The human race values the husband and the wife," Li Ping'an tilted his head slightly, "You and I are one husband and wife, and I can't take you with me wherever I go?"
There was a little more smile in Yaochi's eyes, and he said: "Today is not a good job. I am still a disciple of Master Hongjun, so this will be a bit embarrassing."
"Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Li Ping'an pushed open the palace door, faced the bright fairy light in front of him, and stepped forward.
The six sages are all sitting in the front hall.
Taiqing Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun are in the middle, and the other four saints are on the left and right.
In Li Ping'an's perception, there seemed to be... six spiritual avenues ahead... Although it was not appropriate, this was what he felt.
It is as if the Dao has transformed into a human form, with a Dao body, exuding a mysterious Dao charm from the inside to the outside.
Only when the path to immortality reaches its end will one become a saint, and the door to mystery will not be empty.
Li Ping'an led Yaochi forward steadily. When he entered the front hall, he bowed from a distance and said:
"Disciple Li Ping'an, pay homage to our master, uncle, and uncle, and pay homage to the Holy Mother."
Queen Mother Yaochi followed and bowed.
A cold snort was heard, but it was Saint Zhunti who was dissatisfied that Li Ping'an had not paid his respects, and looked a little unkind.
Li Ping'an didn't pay attention.
He continued to speak loudly: "On the order of my great uncle, I came to welcome the six saints back to the ancient world. Since then, the foundation of the ancient world has been firmly established, and I have enjoyed prosperity without increasing hardship. My spiritual cultivation and virtue are truly a blessing to all souls. "
Taiqing nodded slightly: "Good."
Yuanshi Tianzun asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven, could I ask a few things?"
"Master just asks."
"You have made many great ambitions before. Today, the earth has stabilized. Have your ambitions been realized?"
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "It can only be said that the disciple's ambition has been partially realized. Today on earth, the world is at peace, evil demons are dormant, great demons have retreated, and evil spirits are slaying. However, there are still many shortcomings here, and the heavens still need to work hard. Move forward and strive to be the first.”
"good."
Yuanshi Tianzun asked again: "Kunpeng was in chaos before, and Xuanyuan died in battle. What is the specific reason for this?"
"Master, the inside story of this matter is complicated."
Li Pingan sighed, cupped his hands and said:
"The Patriarch Hongjun plotted to seize the way of heaven, and the transcendent man plotted to seize Hongjun. The two plotted against each other, and all creatures in heaven and earth were implicated.
"Kunpeng was originally killed by the three emperors of the human race in ancient times. The transcendent ones took away the remaining soul of Kunpeng, combined it with the body of the innate gods and demons, and taught Kunpeng the second soul method, using it as a chess piece to plan all things.
"Kunpeng didn't know it, so he gradually fell into decline, and eventually almost caused a catastrophe.
"Hongjun's plan is more far-reaching. Since ancient times, he took advantage of the fact that the way of heaven has not yet appeared, and used his evil corpse to merge with the way of heaven. He wants to take advantage of Kunpeng's rebellion and severely damage the way of heaven, so that he can control the complete way of heaven and pursue his own transcendence.
"In the end, Hongjun missed a move, and the transcendent ones completely subdued Hongjun, and he became a scourge to the world."
Taoist Zhunti said calmly: "The Emperor of Heaven seems to be the disciple of the transcendent one?"
Here comes the trouble.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "If we follow the ancient rules, junior brother should call me senior brother. After all, I am an official disciple and you are just a registered disciple."
"Be bold!"
Zhunti looked as if his tail had been stepped on and glared at Li Ping'an.
The mighty power of the saint came to suppress him.
Tongtian, Nuwa was about to take action when she saw that Li Pingan was motionless. On the contrary, Yaochi looked a little pale and was pulled behind by Li Pingan.
Li Ping'an looked up at Zhunti and said slowly:
"Why, did Junior Brother Zhunti forget that he went to the Transcendent Teacher to cry out in exchange for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, cut off the path of Sanqing and the Holy Mother to realize the Tao through strength, and fulfill the wishes of the Transcendent Teacher? Could it be that Junior Brother Zhunti has forgotten?
"Or is it that Junior Brother Zhunti has become a saint and no longer wants to recognize a transcendent person as his teacher?
"Then please allow me, Junior Brother, to shout three times. Those who are detached will think that the old man is a heinous person. Then I will truly believe it."
Zhunti narrowed his eyes slightly.
Sanqing's expressions were a bit ugly, but the Holy Mother seemed to be nothing, just watching and having fun.
The Taoist who led the way said slowly: "According to the rules, my junior brother and I should indeed call Your Majesty senior brother. However, now that we have both become saints, saints are the foundation of heaven and the faith of all living beings, so we can no longer be treated as teachers."
"It seems that you two really don't want to recognize the transcendent teacher."
Li Pingan shook his head and sighed:
"That's right. The two of you have become the teacher's pawns, so it makes sense that you don't want to recognize them now.
"But I think it's better not to make things too rigid. It's impossible to say that the next two people will still ask for our teacher."
Taoist Zhunti said coldly: "Teacher Transcendence is just teaching us how to practice. We are living beings in the world, and we naturally consider everything for the prehistoric world. The Emperor of Heaven is provocative with words like this, trying to stir up the Six Saints to conquer. Could it be that he is harboring evil intentions?
?”
"The disciples' respect for the Three Pure Ones and the Holy Mother can be learned by all the spirits in heaven and earth!"
Li Pingan took a step forward:
"On the contrary, the two Western sect leaders previously cultivated evil spirits and instigated their disciples to do evil. Maitreya, Disaster, and Jiafeng were always in trouble with the creatures of heaven and earth. The disasters they caused caused more than hundreds of millions of casualties!
“Why, does becoming a saint mean you don’t admit your fault?
"The two junior brothers have bad intentions. Can't we even say it?"
Yuanshi Tianzun spoke slowly: "Presumptuous."
The corner of Li Ping'an's mouth twitched slightly, but he lowered his head and saluted: "Master, forgive me. My disciple is the Emperor of Heaven and should plead for the lives of living beings. This is the teaching of Senior Brother Xuanyuan. I dare not forget it."
The Holy Mother Nuwa said warmly: "There is nothing wrong with what Emperor Ping An said. Although you and I have become saints, we are not transcendent. The moral and righteousness of the world also needs to be listened to at all times."
Leader Tongtian smiled and said: "Ping'an is right to scold you, Second Senior Brother."
Yuanshi Tianzun shook his head and said slowly: "Although Ping'an is the emperor of heaven, you should not be too rude in front of the saint. The past is past, don't mention it again."
Taiqing said: "Jie."
"That's right," Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly, "Before the Six Saints return to heaven and earth, they need to establish the Dao Immortal Tribulation. What do you think about Ping An?"
Li Ping'an said: "Everything is up to the arrangements of our ancestors, uncles, uncles and the Holy Mother."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slowly and said:
"The six sages have worked together to deduce everything and have understood everything here.
"The Dao Immortal Tribulation, also known as the Conferring God Tribulation, is a calamity for the disciples of the Tao Sect, but it is an opportunity for the Heavenly Court to grow.
"This calamity should take place in Nanzhou, where the destiny of the human race gathers. This is where the destiny of the heaven and earth gathers together to create a prosperous heaven. This is used to assist the perfection of the way of heaven and fight against the end together.
"Although Taoist disciples will encounter many catastrophes, when this catastrophe falls, the disciples of the two sects of Interpretation and Interpretation should each rely on their abilities to compete with each other for survival.
"What do you think, Junior Brother Tongtian?"
Leader Tongtian sneered: "I have many disciples, and I am also responsible for unfavorable education. Since the second senior brother understands the righteousness so well, how about we just set a rule that saints will not be punished?"
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slowly: "This is a disaster for Taoist disciples. How can you and I end up doing this?"
"good."
Taiqing gave a simple sentence.
Li Ping'an secretly sighed in his heart... If the saints didn't fight in the Great Tribulation of the Gods, Jie Jiao would definitely win no matter what.
But I can't say for sure, after all, when it comes to plotting and calculating, apart from Taiqing's uncle, he is the only one here.
Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly:
"There is a treasure in this catastrophe of becoming a god. This is the most precious treasure of heaven, and it is called the list of gods.
"When we calculated, this treasure has been sent between heaven and earth by Teacher Hongjun. Today we will cast a spell to bring... peace, what do you think?"
Li Ping'an sighed secretly in his heart, he was going to take away the right to become a god directly.
He smiled and said: "The list of gods is in the Lingxiao Palace. Master, you can just summon it."
"good."
Yuanshi Tianzun slowly raised his hand, and a beam of colorful rays of light flew from the direction of the ancient world and landed in his palm in an instant.
If not the list of gods that fell out of Li Dazhi's pocket, what was it?
Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly: "Senior brother should be in charge of this list."
Taiqing slowly shook his head: "You."
"Thank you for your trust, senior brother," Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slowly, then gently tossed it, and the list of gods slowly opened in front of the six saints.
What's strange is that Li Ping'an and Yaochi can also see the positive situation of the list of gods.
Vertical squares are revealed on the list of gods. Above each square is an empty red frame, and below is the corresponding god. This god is generated by heaven itself. There are more than three hundred in total, and they are all the gods of heaven.
.
The first ones are the three vacancies among the four emperors, followed by several great princes, various marshals, the gods of various departments in heaven, the thirty-six constellations, etc.
Yuanshi Tianzun said:
"Third Junior Brother, Senior Brother has only one disciple. He has excellent conduct and profound merits. He has worked hard to protect the entrance to heaven and earth and has made great achievements. He should not be included in the list.
"You and I deserve a spot on the list."
Leader Tongtian frowned and pondered.
The Holy Mother took the initiative to ask: "What can you say about the conferment of gods in heaven?"
Yuanshi Tianzun said: "His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven has the most appropriate explanation."
"That's right."
Li Pingan said:
"The Investiture of Gods is the most precious treasure of heaven, and it was born at the right moment. As long as you write your name on the Destiny of Gods, the fate of the Taoist master will revolve around you. In other words, you are destined to be in disaster.
"This is not without its benefits. If you are listed on the list, no matter how the subsequent disaster develops, if this immortal encounters disaster, even if his soul is scattered, the heaven will leave a trace of his soul on the list.
"The Dao Immortal Tribulation is originally for Heaven to consolidate the power of the Dao, so his name is on the list, and it rarely ends well."
The Holy Mother sighed: "So, being on the list is more of a disaster than a blessing."
"Disciple, I have the guts to say something," Li Ping'an said, "There are some problems with this list."
Yuanshi Tianzun asked: "What kind of question?"
"There are vacancies at the top of this list, and divine positions at the bottom. Could it be that who will occupy which divine position is decided today?"
Li Pingan shook his head:
“I feel something is wrong with this matter.
"For the operation of heaven, what is needed is not powerful gods, but gods who are dedicated to their duties and have the ability to fulfill their corresponding responsibilities as gods.
"When a saint signs this list, the main reference is the strength of the Taoist Immortal, right?
"The strength of practice is the strength of practice, one's own character is one's own character, one's own ability is another matter, and Western teaching has given the best example here."
Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slowly: "What Ping An said is right."
Taiqing said: "Change."
When Taiqing's words fell, the way of heaven began to change.
The gods on the list of gods quickly disappeared, leaving only blank spaces.
Li Pingan breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, he took back a little initiative. With his status uncertain, he, the Emperor of Heaven, would not be directly ignored by the saint.
The leader of Tongtian Cult said: "The amount remains the same. Only three hundred people are enough to fill the heaven?"
Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Junior brother, please don't think that you can just trick three hundred registered disciples. If your fate falls, the disciples within your teaching who cannot be listed will most likely perish!"
"Second Senior Brother's words are a bit exaggerated."
Leader Tongtian said slowly:
"If Heaven wants to take back the authority of the Great Dao, it cannot just leave this job to my Jiejiao family.
"The poor Taoist thinks that it is most fair to just go by the ratio of the number of disciples. The number of disciples of Chanjiao is one-twentieth of the number of disciples of Jiejiao. I get 95% of Jiejiao's disciples, and half of them are Chanjiao. That's it.
how?"
Yuanshi Tianzun sighed: "Junior brother, why don't you understand? This calamity is not just about the lives of three hundred disciples!"
The leader of Tongtian was silent.
The Taoist who led the way said slowly: "My disciples of the Western Sect can also be admitted to the list."
"No."
Li Ping'an spoke decisively: "To protect its own integrity, Heaven only recruits Taoist immortals."
"Why did the Emperor of Heaven say this?"
"That's how the rules are set," Li Ping'an said seriously, "I made them."
The Taoist leader remained calm and nodded slowly: "Since it is a rule set by His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, Western religions should also abide by it."
The leader of Tongtian Cult suddenly said: "Ping An, can you just recruit Immortal Jiejiao to serve as an official in the heaven?"
"This," Li Ping'an smiled bitterly, "disciples have tried it before, but were rejected by all the masters and uncles. What they meant is that everyone should rely on their abilities."
"Everyone depends on his or her ability."
Yuanshi Tianzun said:
"Ping An has painstakingly considered the Taoist sect, but Immortal Jie Jiao is so ignorant of the destiny. He should have suffered such a disaster.
"When the third junior disciple accepted a disciple, he didn't care about the heel and the karma. As a result, the disciple is now surrounded by karma. This is also the inducement for the great calamity of becoming a god."
Tongtian was dissatisfied and said: "Second senior brother, please give me an accurate answer. Do you want my religion to fall apart and all my disciples to die? That's why you want me to do what you want!"
Yuanshi Tianzun sighed: "The fate of the calamity is running, and the way of heaven is determined. How can I express my will? Jiejiao is supposed to have this calamity."
Tongtian said angrily: "Don't you want to explain your teaching and not want half of your disciples to die?"
"My disciples all cultivate the source of blessing."
"What a blessing!"
Leader Tongtian stood up in anger. He wanted to say something but held it back and said firmly:
"This is the list of Gods to be signed during the great catastrophe! I'll go and do it!"
His figure flashed, turned into a beam of blue light and disappeared.
Yuanshi Tianzun also had a dark face as he grabbed back the list of gods and slapped it on the lotus platform aside.
"Then let's all rely on our abilities!"
Li Ping'an and Yaochi looked at each other. Yaochi's eyes were a little more questioning, as if he wanted to say whether he wanted to take the opportunity to get back the list of gods.
Zhunti, who was on the side, had already spoken first: "This calamity is related to interpretation. The list of gods should be kept by a third party. How about..."
"There are too few disciples of Chanjiao," Li Ping'an said. "The master is an immortal with good fortune and integrity. He is a role model for the immortals in the world. He will not do anything selfish. The master should be in charge of this list and then find the master."
Given by those who have suffered calamity.”
Zhunti looked at Li Ping'an with a little anger in his eyes.
But Li Ping'an smiled and said: "Junior brother Zhunti, it's better not to be happy as a saint. You look like a bad person. It's not good for the teacher to know."
"snort!"
Zhunti snorted heavily, turned around and turned into colorful rays of light to escape.
