Chapter 230 The difference between conferred gods and degrees
Taoist Zhunti watched Qi Yuan's figure gradually disappear, and a faint smile appeared on his lips. Now that he has been targeted, do you still want to escape?
During this catastrophe, Jiejiao will definitely have to fight with Chanjiao.
And this battle is also an opportunity for the Western Sect to come and transform the three thousand mortal guests.
Zhunti had already made up his mind in his heart. When the time comes, others can leave it alone, but Qi Baimei must be saved first.
It doesn't matter even if the others are spared. As long as this little Taoist priest is ferried back, when the time is right, he can be released to the east to spread the teachings. Why worry that the Western religious tradition cannot flourish!
…………
Qi Yuan left Zhunti and escaped from the light all the way, flying quickly without any concern for his magic power.
It wasn't until he saw Jin'ao Island from a distance that he breathed a long sigh of relief.
After all, he was facing a Western saint just now, and it was already very difficult for him to maintain his composure.
Although he didn't know that Zhunti had already made up his mind to convert him to the West no matter what.
However, during the previous conversation, Zhunti repeatedly stated that she was destined to him, and it was obvious that she had already thought of sending him away.
Fortunately, Taoist Zhunti had no intention of taking action forcefully, otherwise Qi Yuan would not have the slightest power to resist in front of this leader of the Hunyuan Realm.
However, from this, he also secretly warned himself that it was best not to leave Jin'ao Island again before the Great Tribulation of Conferring Gods passed.
As for whether he could still obtain the position of Kitchen God without leaving Jin'ao Island, participating in the Battle of the Gods, and not being listed on the Gods List after his death, Qi Yuan said he didn't have to worry about it at all.
Now, as a direct disciple of Jie Jiao, he is no longer the little casual cultivator who ran around and didn't understand anything.
After becoming a disciple of Zhao Gongming, he not only learned the orthodox Kung Fu inheritance of Jie Jiao, but also learned many secret things during his years on Jin'ao Island, including some things about becoming a god.
The so-called Great Tribulation of the Gods, in the final analysis, is nothing more than selecting some talents for the Heavenly Court to assist the Jade Emperor in managing the Three Realms.
In fact, the real reason behind this is that Patriarch Hongjun did not want to see too much chaos in the Three Realms after he came to Tianhe Dao, so he gave the order.
The reason why the three religions jointly discussed the conferment of gods is because Sanqing is a direct disciple of Taoist Hongjun, and the Jade Emperor was also a child next to Taoist Hongjun. Of course, it is more secure to leave this kind of matter to someone close to him.
Some.
Otherwise, if the divine throne in Heaven is occupied by a large number of disciples of Western religions, or by those great demons from ancient Heaven, trouble will occur sooner or later.
What Taoist Hongjun wanted was to maintain the stability of the Three Realms, so this is the reason why most of the gods in heaven are disciples of the three religions.
Except for the disciples of the three religions, other divine positions would rather be chosen from among the mortal military commanders and civil servants, and they would rarely enshrine outsiders.
Although you will lose some freedom after being on the list of gods, from another perspective, this is not a welfare guarantee for these disciples of the three religions.
Even if there is a war in heaven, or these gods are killed when conquering unruly demons, as long as the list of gods is still there and the true spirits in the list are not lost, a new divine body can be condensed for them at any time.
.
For many Qi practitioners who see no future, being on the list of gods is actually a good thing.
And, to be honest, the Jade Emperor is not harsh on the gods from the three religions.
Just like Kuimulang from the Twenty-Eight Constellations, he fell in love with a fairy in heaven. After privately entering the mortal world, he not only took over the mountain and became the king, but also disturbed the mortal world and did many evil things.
As a result, the Jade Emperor only punished him to go to Tushita Palace to light a fire for Taishang Laojun, and he still had to work with his salary.
This means that when he went to Tusita Palace to light a fire, Xing Jun was still receiving his salary, and then he said that he would be reinstated if he had merit, but he would be punished if he had no merit.
As a result, it didn't take long for him to be reinstated.
As for how much contribution a fire can make, this is a matter of judgment and wisdom.
In fact, among the gods in heaven, the ones who are really valued are the 365 star kings and righteous gods.
The rest, even the eight righteous gods, are just departments that assist the Jade Emperor in governing the three realms.
Even if some of these eight righteous gods are lacking, there are still other departments helping to operate them, and there will be no major chaos in the Three Realms.
Only the three hundred and sixty-five Star Lords are the key to controlling the Zhoutian Star Formation, and there must be no mistakes.
Because the Zhoutian Xingdou Formation is not only a formation that controls the stars in the sky and mobilizes the power of the stars, it is also a great formation that protects the Three Realms.
Qi Yuan doesn't know the specific details, but he only needs to know that, except for some of the divine thrones in heaven that cannot be moved, it doesn't matter even if the rest of the divine thrones are banned.
Because the responsibilities of many gods have some overlap, and when there are more people in heaven in the future, there is no need to worry about not being able to find someone to handle specific tasks.
In addition to the main gods, most of the gods in heaven are auxiliary gods.
In fact, except for the eight main gods and the 365 star kings, most of the gods are auxiliary gods.
The so-called auxiliary gods do not mean that their power and status are inferior to those of the main gods, but that they are gods who assist the Jade Emperor in specific tasks.
For example, the gods under the Lei Department are mainly responsible for raising clouds and rain, regulating the climate of the four seasons, punishing evil and eradicating evil, judging good and evil, good and evil, and so on.
For example, the gods of the Ministry of Finance, whose main responsibility is to attract wealth and benefit the market, and to control wealth.
The duty of the four generals of the Demon Family is to guard Tianmen.
Clairvoyance and Shunfeng Er are responsible for monitoring the three realms.
Countless other gods, including the mountain gods Tuhe Bo who entrusted various places, etc., are all specific service personnel.
The position of Kitchen God that Qi Yuan wants to obtain for himself is such a being.
In fact, no matter whether it is the current Heaven or the ancient Heaven, there is no Kitchen God, and speaking of it, his status does not seem to be very high.
Compared with those positions of righteous gods, such and such a star king, they don't sound very high-end.
Qi Yuan is a disciple of Jie Jiao. With his current level of cultivation, it is difficult for him to obtain a high-ranking divine position.
However, if he just wanted the position of Kitchen God, whether it was the Jade Emperor or Jiang Ziya, they would definitely give it to him.
After all, looking at it now, this god does not have much power at all. It is just a priest in charge of the kitchen. No one will care about it.
Although Jiang Ziya is in charge of the list of gods and canonize gods on behalf of heaven, the matter of canonizing gods is jointly discussed by the leaders of the three religions. It is neither Jiang Ziya nor the Chanjiao family that has the final say.
To put it bluntly, Jiang Ziya just took out what had been discussed and read it from the script, just like the envoys around the emperor who came out to read out the imperial edict.
The Jade Emperor will also not be stingy with such a minor god's position to the disciples of Jie Jiao. Even if Qi Yuan goes directly to the heaven to ask for this divine position from the Jade Emperor, he does not need to go through the process of the list of gods, and can directly confer Qi Yuan.
The position of the Kitchen God.
In fact, as long as they are immortals and are willing to serve in heaven, the Jade Emperor will grant them divine status.
After all, Heaven needs to manage all aspects of the Three Realms, and there are too many things involved.
Even with the current Great Tribulation of Gods, it is only to establish a team for Heaven. There are many gods, and they all have multiple positions.
Therefore, the Heavenly Court always maintains a welcoming attitude towards the immortals who come to seek official positions.
It's just that relatively speaking, immortals prefer to be carefree and at ease. Very few immortals take the initiative to work in heaven, and even if they go, the specific position they can get depends on their abilities.
If he is a person with profound Taoism and great magical powers, it is easy to say that he will definitely not be assigned a particularly low position.
If Taoism is not enough, then it depends on whether there is a backstage.
If the backend is strong enough, there will be no problem. If it doesn't work, you can arrange a leisurely position.
As for those who have no backing and are not strong enough in their own right, they can only work hard to gain qualifications.
But in general, there are still many benefits to serving in heaven, which is why some immortals still want to seek official positions despite living a leisurely life.
Qi Yuan is a disciple of Jie Jiao, and his background is tough enough. As long as he doesn't make excessive demands, usually no one will make things difficult for him.
Just because he knew these things, he no longer worried about whether he could get the position of Kitchen God. A small god position that had never appeared before, the Jade Emperor could just grant it to him casually.
What really makes him worried now is Zhunti, the second leader of the West.
If you only look at the surface, Taoist Zhunti doesn't seem to be that scary. After all, he just wants to convert people to the West and does not kill anyone.
However, what really worries Qi Yuan is his method of transformation.
Qi Yuan is not afraid of being on the list of gods, because it is not considered death. As long as he completes the work of his priesthood, the Jade Emperor will not be idle every day and use the list to restrict people's freedom.
But Western religion is different.
After converting people to the West, Qi Yuan felt that they would definitely use some means to forcibly restrain them.
Otherwise, as long as the saint is not around, those Jiejiao disciples who were forcibly converted will definitely disappear within a short time.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about Wu Yunxian. As the head of the seven immortals who accompany Tongtian Cult, he is an existence at the peak of the Golden Immortal. He can defeat Guangchengzi Chi Jingjing and others in head-on battles, but in the end he was placed in the Eight Treasures of Merit
The pool is used for viewing purposes.
What a shame. Qi Yuan didn't believe that he stayed in that pool willingly.
Another example is Kong Xuan, who was so fierce that he dared to swallow Tathagata Buddha. Qi Yuan also did not believe that he was willing to stay in the West.
Even Qi Yuan himself would not stay there honestly if he was captured.
It can be seen from this that the Western religion must have imposed restrictions on these so-called mortals who were forcibly converted in the past, and controlled them without freedom. This level is even more miserable than the true spirit of the soul entering the list of gods.
What worries Qi Yuan even more is that Western religions use prohibitions on those profound beings and just force them to work for them.
But for someone with a shallow cultivation like him, some means might be used to brainwash him and make him willingly contribute to the Western religion, which would be really unlucky.
If you don’t even have self-awareness, what’s the difference between you and a puppet?
This is the reason why Qi Yuan is really unwilling to join the Western religion.
In other words, only those who actively defect will be reused after joining the Western Sect.
For example, the Changer Dingguang Immortal of Jiejiao, the Randeng Taoist of Chanjiao, Cihang Manjusri and other golden immortals not only did not restrict them, but also gave them a very high status, allowing them to establish sects and spread Buddhism widely.
Believers are all over the world.
Qi Yuan walked in a hurry all the way, with various thoughts in his mind.
He decided that he would not leave Jin'ao Island even if the calamity was over.
No matter how powerful Taoist Zhunti is, he would not dare to come to the dojo of Master Tongtian to save and teach the disciples.
When the Great Tribulation of the Gods is over and all the saints go to the outer world, he will no longer have to be so worried.
During this period of time, let’s study the Tao Dharma honestly.
No matter whether you can understand the way of sword cultivation or not, you must at least understand the future path.
It is best to cultivate the path of immortality first. After all, only by becoming an immortal can you not be restricted by longevity.
If he doesn't become an immortal, his lifespan will eventually have its limit.
Enlightenment is not an easy thing. Some people may achieve enlightenment once and become immortals. Some people have worked hard to gain enlightenment for thousands of years but have gained nothing. They can only watch their bodies grow old and eventually go through reincarnation.
Once.
Although Qi Yuan said that he had left two escape routes for himself, whether he became a god or went to the Fire Cloud Palace to become a human sage, he would not be free in the immortal way after all.
Therefore, what he wants most is to become an immortal and then take the position of god.
He didn't know how long it would take him to figure out his own path, so it was better to prepare early.
Just like that, he flew back to Jin'ao Island in the Escape with some carelessness.
