After chattering for a while, Wang Xu said goodbye to Taoist Cihang and left Mount Putuo in the South China Sea.
Now that the innate wood is available and the Xuanyuan gold crystal is available, the main materials for refining sun-shooting arrows are three to two, and the only remaining ones are the short feathers of the bird-body, dragon-headed god.
The god with the body of a bird and the head of a dragon is an ancient alien species. During the ancient Demon Court period, he was classified as one of the eight hundred Nanshan gods.
During the Lich War, Hou Yi hunted and killed the tribe of birds-bodied and dragon-headed gods in order to shoot sun arrows, eliminating eight out of ten of their tribe.
By the Human Era, there was little news about the bird-body, dragon-headed god, and it was suspected of genocide.
Wang Xu didn't know where to find this thing, so he could only place his hope in Jiejiao.
Within the Jiejiao, the Shangqing Taoist ancestors taught all kinds of things. After the collapse of the Demon Clan Heavenly Court, many demon monks who had nowhere to go joined the Jiejiao sect in search of a place to live.
If we were to say where we could find the whereabouts of the bird-body, dragon-headed god, it must be within Jiejiao, otherwise we would have to find a needle in a haystack.
Fortunately, this visit was easier than Wang Xu thought. Although there was no bird-body, dragon-headed god as a disciple in the Jie sect, several corpses of the bird-body, dragon-headed god were collected.
These corpses were ancient alien species that were casually killed by the Jie Sect when they were preaching in a vast world.
Seeing that this monster had a bird body and a dragon head, it was so magical that he sent the body back to Biyou Palace to fill in the details of Biyou Palace.
Wang Xu got the short feathers and thanked him repeatedly. Others didn't know, but he knew the importance of a few short feathers to himself.
In the huge prehistoric world, ancient beasts like the bird-body dragon-headed god are probably almost extinct if not extinct. If short feathers cannot be found, it will be difficult to shoot the sun arrow with full effect, and the impact will be huge.
In the future, if the sun-shooting arrow is refined, it will all depend on the help of Taoist Cihang and Duobao. Whether Wang Xu wants to admit it or not, he owes a share of karma to the two of them.
The way of cause and effect is unusual. If there is an opportunity in the future, he will have to repay him.
With all the materials and the refining method in hand, Wang Xu left the two masters alone and went to Tushita Palace again to ask Master Xuandu for help in refining the weapon.
Master Xuandu agreed wholeheartedly and reminded him that as a third-generation Taoist disciple, he should get closer to his fellow disciples in the future.
After speaking, Master Xuandu stopped talking and had a troubled expression on his face.
When Wang Xu saw this, he knew that the great disaster of conferring gods was about to begin. Master Xuandu, as the direct descendant of Taiqing Taoist ancestors, might know a little about the matter of conferring gods, and he was worried.
The reason for becoming a god was that the Jade Emperor cried to Taoist Hongjun that the Three Realms were vast and there was no one who could use them.
After Taozu heard about it, he called all the saints and took out the list of canonized gods and asked everyone to decide to canonize the gods.
When Nuwa saw this, she was the first to stand up and say, I have no disciples in my name, but the matter of becoming a god has nothing to do with me.
Seeing this, the Second Sage of the West also cried and said that the land of the West was barren and there were only a few disciples under his sect, so they could not fill up the list of gods.
After all, on the list of gods, there are 365 star gods, twenty-eight constellations, and countless immortals to be canonized. Those on the list have at least thousands of skills.
When the Taiqing saints of Chanjiao heard this, they joked with the Shangqing saints, saying that thousands of immortals from the Jiejiao had come to the court. It was such a huge momentum. It would be better to choose this god from the Jiejiao.
The Sage of the Shangqing Dynasty was furious. The list of canonized gods is for conferring gods. As long as you are on the list, you will be bound by the canonized list. By then, although the world is big, there will be no way to escape.
After a few quarrels, they broke up on bad terms, but the relationship ended.
When Taoist Hongjun was held to account, the saints set a rule that whoever gets on the list of gods should be listed based on their abilities.
So, Jie Jiao helped Shang Zhou, and Chan Jiao helped King Wu. The two sides agreed to have a fight. If anyone died in the battle, he would naturally be unlucky enough and deserve to be listed as a god.
Therefore, when Master Xuandu talked about the children of the three religions, he hesitated to speak. He obviously knew about the matter of conferring gods. He also knew that if this matter was not done well, the three religions would turn against each other.
Wang Xu understood what Master Xuandu meant, but pretended not to know on the surface, because there were deeper problems hidden behind the incident of conferring gods.
Jiejiao is known as the Ten Thousand Immortals who come to the court, and has countless disciples, which is naturally very beneficial when it comes to preaching in the three realms.
Let’s not talk about the small and medium worlds for now. Among the three thousand worlds, Jiejiao occupies two thousand territories, and the remaining one thousand territories are shared by Chanjiao, Western Sect, Heavenly Court, Dragon Clan, Monster Clan, Loose Cultivators, Witch Clan, and ancient alien species.
.
Saint Taiqing saw this and was already dissatisfied in his heart, so he just took advantage of the situation.
Similarly, Western religions have been striving for great prosperity, and they are also secretly doing things.
In the middle and late stages of the Conferred Gods period, the war between the three religions continued to escalate. Senior disciples died one after another, and the Western religion was also the driving force in it.
Not to mention that the contribution made by Taoist Ran Deng here is not even a tiny bit.
If he hadn't gone around to stir up trouble, add fuel to the flames, and kill Zhao Gongming, the direct disciple of Sage Shangqing, there would not have been Sanxiao who went down the mountain to set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, nor would Sage Shangqing be in tears after Sanxiao's death.
After leaving the Biyou Palace, he set up the Zhuxian Sword Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to fight Chanjiao to the death.
Therefore, the matter of conferring gods is what should be done.
Even if no one intervenes, from the time when the Ten Thousand Immortals of the Jie Sect came to the court and continued to occupy the vast world, the foreshadowing of the break with the Chan Sect was laid.
At this point, no one is wrong. Heavenly Court is right, Chan Jiao is right, Jie Jiao is right, and even the Taoist monk Ran Deng who is planning for himself cannot be said to be wrong.
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. If Ran Deng wants to use the method of evolving the heavens to achieve the perfection of quasi-sage, he needs Zhao Gongming's twenty-four Dinghai Pearls to open up the twenty-four heavens and become
Lord of the twenty-four heavens.
The twenty-four Dinghai Pearls were a complete set of innate spiritual treasures. How could Zhao Gongming give them to him?
Even if Taoist Ran Deng snatches it, it will be recovered by Sage Shangqing. Sage Yuqing will not be able to make the decision for him, allowing him to take Dinghai Pearl as his own and evolve the heavens.
And this is the reason why Taoist Ran Deng betrayed the Chan Sect and joined the Western Sect with the Ding Haizhu he grabbed.
Why, it all depends on the promise of the two sages of the Western Sect that as long as Ran Deng Taoist enters the Western Sect, he will protect him from losing the Twenty-Four Dinghai Divine Pearls and help him achieve enlightenment.
Anyone who blocks the way will be killed without mercy. Ran Deng is a member of the same generation in the Three Qing Dynasty. He was a powerful man in the early days of the world and understood the law of the weak and the strong. What's wrong with that?
Therefore, there is only victory or defeat in the matter of becoming a god, and there is no right or wrong. It can be summed up in one sentence: people die for money, and birds die for food.
After handing the materials to Master Xuandu for refining, Wang Xu also began to go to Chaoge to plan for his own cake.
Being a god is a great calamity, and it will affect the structure of the three religions and even the human race for hundreds of millions of years.
There is great luck here, and with this luck, there are many people who have become quasi-sages, and even more people have achieved golden immortality.
If you don’t believe it, you can look back and see that most of today’s disciples of saints are in the Golden Immortal Realm.
During the journey to the west, Taoist Cihang became the Bodhisattva Guanyin, Samantabhadra became the Bodhisattva Samantabhadra, Khenliu Sun became the Buddha, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun became the Bodhisattva Manjushri, and Lishan Bodhisattva
The incompetent Holy Mother who appears as an old mother is not in the realm of quasi-saints.
It can be seen from this that those who have experienced the Great Tribulation of the Gods and survived have all benefited greatly from the catastrophe. From then on, the luck of heaven and earth has been added to their bodies, and their various cultivation levels have improved.
Wang Xu was not greedy and set a small goal for himself: to become a golden immortal in the Great Tribulation of the Gods, and then strive to become a quasi-sage in the Great Tribulation of the Journey to the West.
As for the saint, he dare not think about it for the time being, because the higher he reaches, the more he understands that every step up is no less than climbing the ladder to heaven.
The protagonist of the world back then, Donghuang Taiyi, was so majestic that he didn't reach the top even to the point of death. In the end, all his cultivation was wasted.
Wang Xu took one step at a time, not thinking about things too far away, but only focusing on what was in front of him.
In front of you, the golden immortal can be seen and touched, and the quasi-sage can also think about it. Let’s talk about the next thing later. If you take too big a step, you will easily get hurt.
