Once the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning left, the matter of signing the God roll could no longer continue.
Although that was within Li Changshou's expectations, he had previously used the phrase "maybe" to deduce the various negotiation methods of the Saints with the Jade Emperor.
But when this really happened, it really made people feel helpless.
Filling in the God roll was equivalent to being destined to be surrounded by calamity. Among the Saints, only the Saints of the Western Sect could do such a thing.
Which disciple was not a disciple? Wasn't he nurtured by preaching the Dao and dispelling doubts to inherit his legacy?
The Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch valued his disciple, and the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning valued his disciple as well. That was understandable.
Therefore, Li Changshou and the Jade Emperor had repeatedly mentioned that they could survive the Great Tribulation if they were on the rankings … However, the effect was rather weak.
Well, it was already an ideal outcome to be able to control the God roll and the God Striking Whip today.
The Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning said that everyone would rely on their luck. That was actually a method that was more beneficial to Chan School. After all, Chan School had treasures that could suppress the luck of the sect. There were many Gold God in the sect.
The three principles that the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning pursued when taking in disciples — background, luck, and luck. In front of the Great Tribulation, he had indeed laid a sufficient foundation for Chan School.
As for why the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning wanted to meet Daoist Jie Yin and had been targeting Jie School today …
Li Changshou could understand, but he did not want to support it.
No matter what, Teacher Taiqing did not like the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning and Daoist Jie Yin. Later, he could only stand on the side of the Celestial Court and maintain a distance from Chan School and Jie School.
Will Teacher Taiqing help Chan School or Jie School in the future?
In the original Great Tribulation, Teacher had helped Chan School, but now …
Teacher will only help the side with obvious advantages and protect the essence energy of the Dao Sect.
It all depended on how the future developed, how the calamity was controlled, and how the Chan School and Jie School would deal with it.
Li Changshou raised his head and looked in the direction of the Sky-reaching Hierarch, only to see the Sky-reaching Hierarch frowning as he looked out of the Purple Cloud Palace. His gaze was slightly complicated, but he soon sighed softly and slowly closed his eyes.
The atmosphere in the Purple Cloud Palace was a little depressing. The five Saints remained silent, as if they were waiting for Lao Tzu of Taiqing to say, "Let's go."
Daoist Duobao pondered and walked out from behind the Grandmaster of Heaven Hierarch. He asked softly, "Uncle-Master, Jade Emperor, how will the Great Tribulation be carried out?"
The Saint of Taiqing said slowly, "The heavenly secrets have appeared. The Great Tribulation should be in the mortal world of the South Continent. There's not much other information."
Goddess Nuwa also said, "This Great Tribulation started with mortals. It's reasonable for it to happen in the South Continent. On the other hand, when the Great Tribulation descends, I wonder how many mortals will suffer innocently."
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Senior Brothers and Sisters, why don't we make an agreement in this Purple Cloud Palace first?
The Great Tribulation of living beings is destined to cause heavy casualties. However, mortals are weak to begin with. They are not the cause of the Great Tribulation and are protected by the Heavenly Dao.
Senior Brothers, please restrain your disciples and not kill mortals indiscriminately.
Hundreds of thousands of mortals have died, but it can't compare to the burden of the world reduced by the death of a Longevity Immortal. The Great Tribulation is also a test for the Qi Refinement cultivators. "
"What the Jade Emperor said makes sense." The Daoist priest opened his eyes and smiled faintly. "I will naturally restrain the disciples of the sect and not go to the South Continent."
Li Changshou shook his head in his heart. The speed at which the Saint changed his expression was really too fast.
The Jade Emperor nodded with a smile and looked at the empty seat of the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.
"Let's go."
The Saint of Taiqing said. Streams of light appeared around the other Saints and they were about to leave the Purple Cloud Palace.
Li Changshou immediately walked behind Teacher Taiqing, but the Jade Emperor said, "Senior Brother Taiqing, can Changgeng stay for a while? I want to discuss the placement of the God roll with him. "
"Okay."
The Saint of Taiqing closed his eyes and answered. As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed and disappeared with the Great Daoist Master and the image of the Taiji Painting.
Streams of light flickered. The other four Saints disappeared with the Saint of Taiqing. Only Goddess Nuwa left behind a sentence.
"Changgeng, if you have nothing to do, remember to come to me."
Li Changshou bowed to the outside of the Purple Cloud Palace and heaved a long sigh of relief. He turned around and looked at the Jade Emperor. They both smiled.
However, Li Changshou's smile was a little gloomy.
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "I thought that the Saints would have to talk about some mysterious principles and waste decades here. I didn't expect that it would only be less than two hours."
"After all, it concerns the lives of the disciples of the two sects." Li Changshou walked forward with the God Striking Whip and asked, "Your Majesty, is this God Striking Whip really kept by me?"
The corners of the Jade Emperor's mouth twitched slightly.
He scolded jokingly, "What God Striking Whip? Didn't you ask me to take the God roll for you because you want to be stable and avoid being called over by the Saints for tea!?!"
As he scolded jokingly, the Jade Emperor moved to the side and revealed half of his meditation cushion. "Come and sit."
Li Changshou did not dare to really sit over. He bowed to the Jade Emperor and sat cross-legged on the ground …
The coolness of the cloth reminded him of the embarrassing scene just now. He could not help but raise his hand to support his forehead.
The Dao Ancestor did it on purpose, right?
He's too mischievous and approachable!
"Changgeng, what is the Saint of Chan School thinking?"
"I'm not sure either, but …"
It was impossible for him to be tsundere.
Li Changshou pondered for a while and said, "Second Uncle-Master might want to clean up Jie School."
At that moment, a voice sounded from the side.
"Primordial Beginning has that kind of personality. He feels that the Grandmaster of Heaven has gone astray and wants to help the Grandmaster of Heaven correct it. He worries more than anyone else. Every time, he will not have a good reputation."
Li Changshou's body stiffened. The Jade Emperor hurriedly stood up.
On the huge meditation cushion, the Dao Ancestor's burly figure appeared again without any warning, as if he had never left.
The Jade Emperor raised his hand and pulled Li Changshou, so that Li Changshou could stand up in time and bow to the Dao Ancestor.
The Dao Ancestor looked at Li Changshou with a faint smile, his eyes filled with playfulness.
Li Changshou lowered his head and did not dare to look at him. His heart twitched.
Why didn't I insist on leaving with Teacher just now!?!
"98%." The Dao Ancestor squinted slightly. "Why didn't you mention merit today?"
Li Changshou sighed and said, "I'm not smart enough. I naturally don't dare to compare myself to Grandmaster. Grandmaster naturally has a deeper meaning for not giving me these two merit. I'll just listen to you."
The Jade Emperor whispered, "Teacher, is there a problem with Changgeng condensing the Golden Body of Merit?"
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said calmly, "Doesn't he like 98%? Everything is just right. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a 98% Golden Body of Merit? "
Li Changshou's legs trembled and he almost knelt down. The Jade Emperor was speechless. He turned his head and shrugged his shoulders.
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun smiled and said, "I asked Hao Tian to keep you here because I have something to tell you in advance.
Hao Tian will return to the Celestial Court first to settle the God roll and let Changgeng stay in the Purple Cloud Palace for a while. "
Although the Jade Emperor did not understand, he still bowed and gave Li Changshou a "work harder" look. He carried the God roll and the Heavenly Emperor's Seal and walked away quickly.
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
He was stunned.
If he had to use a word to describe his current feelings, it would be stunned.
The Jade Emperor had been instructed by the Dao Ancestor to speak. The Dao Ancestor had left him alone in the Purple Cloud Palace and said that he had something to tell him.
Could it be that some god would unfold?
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said with a strong local flavor, "Eh, fellow townsman?"
As if he could see through Li Changshou's thoughts, the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun pointed his finger after the Jade Emperor left the Purple Cloud Palace. The Purple Cloud Palace was enveloped by golden light.
Li Changshou instantly felt that his connection with the Primordial World and the Great Dao had disappeared!
It was even more thorough than the isolation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation!
Could it be that his soul was going to be modified by the Dao Ancestor and become a Heavenly Dao puppet?!
This …
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's body emitted rays of light. His burly figure turned into the size of a normal person, and he looked even more benevolent.
He slowly opened his mouth and calmly said,
"I'm thinking, should I call you my old friend, or should I replace your soul and turn you into a magical equipment of the Heavenly Path?"
Li Changshou's Dao heart trembled. He shut his mouth tightly and frowned at the Dao Ancestor in front of him.
"You, are you?"
"Of course not." Dao Ancestor Hong Jun chuckled. "It's all thanks to your hometown that I am where I am today. Come, I'll show you around."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun waved his palm. The two of them did not move at all, and the surrounding scene suddenly changed. It turned into a lush forest, and there were two wooden houses at the side.
Universal Displacement!
The Dao Ancestor stood up and walked towards the wooden hut with his hands behind his back. His tall and straight figure revealed a hint of fatigue as he gestured for Li Changshou to follow.
Li Changshou sighed in his heart. Even if he was going to be erased today, he could not be a muddle-headed ghost …
"Grandmaster, what happened back then?"
"There's no need to mention the past." Hong Jun sighed slightly. "The Heavenly Dao has already killed your fellow countryman. Originally, many living beings such as Nuwa and the Lady of Earth had benefited from him. He had also done many good things for the Primordial World.
However, in the end, that person went crazy for some reason. He insisted on becoming a Saint with his strength and shattered the world. He suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao.
The Heavenly Dao is impartial. It's just a rule formed by the Great Dao under the will of the Pangu God.
Your Great Dao is not bad. It can be considered a form of feedback and replenishment for the Heavenly Dao. That's also the reason why I stopped the Heavenly Dao from interfering with you several times. "
Li Changshou was slightly touched when he heard that. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Grandmaster."
As he spoke, Dao Ancestor Hong Jun had already brought him to a wooden hut. He pushed open the wooden door of the wooden hut, revealing the simple furnishings inside.
"Sit. Don't worry. I have a favor to ask of you today."
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun sat cross-legged on the meditation cushion and looked at Li Changshou's uneasy expression. He smiled and said, "If I wanted to destroy you, why would I nurture you all the way until now?"
"Thank you, Grandmaster."
Li Changshou could only repeat those words. He bowed with a Dao salute and moved the meditation cushion to sit below Dao Ancestor Hong Jun.
The smile on Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's lips grew wider. He said, "How much do you know about I and the Heavenly Dao?"
"I don't know, and I don't dare to spout nonsense."
"Look." An emerald green jade disc appeared in Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's left hand. Rays of light shone from the jade disc, forming a three-dimensional grid. The image of the Primordial World was projected in the grid.
"I is the Heavenly Dao, but the Heavenly Dao is not I.
In other words, I can control the Heavenly Dao for a short period of time, but the Heavenly Dao cannot affect I. "
Li Changshou was shocked. However, he frowned and asked, "Grandmaster, you are already omnipotent in this world. What can I do?"
"Omnipotent?"
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun asked and shook his head slowly. "If I was omnipotent, how could there be a Great Tribulation?"
The jade disc in his hand rotated gently. The thin line that represented the rules disappeared from the world. Nine springs of different colors were projected on the jade disc.
Nine Polluted Springs.
"The Nine Polluted Springs exist between reality and illusion. It's right and wrong to say that the Sea Eye is the Nine Polluted Springs."
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said slowly, "The Sea Eye is just a place where the power of the Nine Polluted Springs is released. It's the same for the sea of blood. The Nine Polluted Springs gather the negative karma of living beings. Once too much negative karma accumulates, the Nine Polluted Springs will overturn the Primordial World and bury living beings.
In that case, the next reincarnation in the world would begin and a new era would begin.
I could not stop this matter. Although I believed that I had reached the peak of the path of cultivation, I could not be compared to the Pangu God.
Therefore, every time the Nine Polluted Springs are about to erupt, the Heavenly Dao will brew a Great Tribulation and continuously delay the Tribulation of Living Beings. "
Li Changshou looked enlightened. "So, the Heavenly Dao is constantly suppressing the strength of living beings because there will be a large number of negative karma remnants after every Great Tribulation. The buffer zone left for the Nine Polluted Springs will become narrower and narrower?"
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun praised, "You really have good comprehension.
However, the Great Dao of living beings has appeared. Birth, old age, illness, and death are the laws of living beings. It is the same for single living beings and all living beings.
Therefore, I is not omnipotent. I have only reached the peak of living beings. I have merged with the Heavenly Dao, completed the Heavenly Dao, and continued the will of the Pangu God.
Similarly, I could not leave this world.
These are all thanks to your fellow villagers. At that time, in order to prevent him from using his strength to prove the Dao and destroy the Primordial World, I could only use this unwise plan and give up the opportunity to go to the Chaos Sea to prove the Primordial Chaos. "
Li Changshou asked softly, "According to the rumors of the Primordial World, Grandmaster, aren't you worried that the Heavenly Dao will not be able to withstand it?"
"That's just a misrepresentation after the Heavenly Dao killed that fellow." Dao Ancestor Hong Jun sighed and said, "If I hadn't joined forces with the Heavenly Dao, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to suppress him.
This fellow accidentally arrived in the ancient Primordial World due to the turmoil of the universe when the heavens were opened. He was a good friend of the Pangu God. "
Senior Lang is so powerful?
Li Changshou was first surprised, then he felt a little depressed.
Such a ferocious man had been killed by the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun … It was better not to have thoughts that he should not have. After settling the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, he should retire as soon as possible.
"Are you in danger?" Dao Ancestor Hong Jun asked.
"I'm … naturally a little afraid."
"Actually, as long as you don't do anything to shake the stability of the world, you will naturally not be targeted by the Heavenly Dao." Dao Ancestor Hong Jun smiled and said, "Do you know when I paid attention to you?"
"I don't know."
"Guess."
"This …" Li Changshou pondered for a while. "When my soul came to the Primordial World?"
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun shook his head and chuckled. He said, "Although your hometown is not in the Primordial World, there's not much difference whether you come with a remnant soul with memories or transform into a True Spirit.
The Chaos Sea is boundless. The universe you know might just be a grain of sand in the Chaos Sea.
The True Spirit River flows in it. The Great Dao of Life and Death accompany it. At the end of the day, living beings are just disturbances and coincidences. The Great Dao appears and the rules appear.
Therefore, in I's eyes, you are no different from ordinary living beings. Your background is not worth mentioning. "
Li Changshou was rendered speechless.
For some reason, he felt a little happy and a little disappointed. What the hell?
"Grandmaster, when did you see me …"
"When you transcended the Immortal Ascension Tribulation on the sea, you deceived the Heavenly Dao." Dao Ancestor Hong Jun smiled and said, "I was also alarmed by you. I accidentally discovered that your Great Dao was actually born from the balance of the Great Dao of Yin and Yang. It was needed by the Heavenly Dao.
In that case, I secretly used a method and erected a statue for you in the Magihuman village. From there, I disturbed your original fate.
If not for that, you would probably have to stay in the mountain until the end of time.
However, I never thought that you would be so outstanding. Not only is your Dao outstanding, but you also helped the Celestial Court up. You saved I a lot of effort. "
Li Changshou could not help but smile bitterly.
This!
I've finally solved the case!
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun waved his hand gently. A spot of light appeared on the jade disc. It was the vague outline of a Daoist meditating. The surroundings were filled with blurry shadows.
"I left you here because of this. Do you know what this is?"
"I don't know."
"This is the will left behind by the Pangu God in the Heavenly Dao." Dao Ancestor Hong Jun sighed softly. "As the Heavenly Dao evolves, he gradually has the ability to think.
If the Heavenly Dao is disturbed, he will be born from the Heavenly Dao. "
Li Changshou said in shock, "Could the Pangu God be revived?"
"That's not the case. He's just a remnant thought of the Pangu God," Dao Ancestor Hong Jun said. "What I want to entrust to you is to judge whether he is beneficial or harmful to the world when he is born.
If it's the former, protect him from being killed by the Heavenly Dao.
If it's the latter, you have to ensure that he is completely wiped out. "
Li Changshou asked softly, "I'm afraid I'm not a match for the remnant thought of the Pangu God."
"When he was born, there would be no spiritual energy around him. He would not be able to absorb spiritual energy for his own use. He would be very weak." Dao Ancestor Hong Jun's gaze was a little complicated. It was so complicated that Li Changshou could not understand it.
The Dao Ancestor said slowly, "His life and death and the fate of the world are all in your hands.
The Three Pure Ones are formed from Pangu's essence soul. The two Saints of the Western Sect only care about themselves. Nuwa is indecisive. Hao Tian is too closely related to the Heavenly Dao. Only you are the most reliable.
Do you need any rewards? "
Li Changshou hesitated for a while and sighed. "It's my blessing to be able to share your worries, Grandmaster."
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun revealed a look of pity. He took out a small bronze cauldron from his sleeve and stuffed it back.
"I originally wanted to give you the Cosmic Cauldron that killed the Rahu in advance. If you want to contribute selflessly, forget it."
Li Changshou widened his eyes and did not manage to catch his breath. He almost fainted.
"Grandmaster, my Golden Body of Merit, look …"
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun smiled and squinted. "Didn't I say that you can use 98% of it?"
"But this …"
"Hahahaha!"
Dao Ancestor Hong Jun clapped and laughed. He took out a stone piece from his sleeve and tossed it into Li Changshou's hand.
"Cultivate well and perfect your Great Dao of Equalization as soon as possible. I can be less disturbed by the Heavenly Dao.
Go back.
If the Heavenly Dao disturbs later, I will naturally send you a message. "
Li Changshou wanted to say something else when Dao Ancestor Hong Jun waved his palm gently. Light and shadows circulated in front of his eyes. In a blink of an eye, he had already appeared above the vast waves.
This is … the East Ocean?
Everything previously seemed like a dream. Only the stone in his hand was rather real.
Li Changshou stood up out of thin air and looked at the stone piece in his hand. There were a few Dao patterns engraved on it. They were naturally cultivation techniques.
Back then, the Dao Ancestor merged with the Heavenly Dao to stop Senior Lang from becoming a Saint and destroying the Primordial World?
The living beings formed by the will of the Pangu God are about to be born from the Heavenly Dao and escape the control of the Heavenly Dao?
This …
Even if the person who instilled this information was the Dao Ancestor, he could only believe 60%, no, 40%.
History was written by the victors. No matter how unrestrained Senior Lang was, he should not have destroyed the Primordial World.
Is the Dao Ancestor really just protecting living beings?
After putting away the stone piece, Li Changshou was a little confused. His body turned into a swimming fish and escaped into the East Ocean, rushing towards a safe house in the East Ocean.
He had to calm down and think about the current situation and the mission that the Dao Ancestor had given him. He had to consider whether he should report this matter to his teacher.
Hence, three months later.
Li Changshou pretended that nothing had happened and quietly returned to Xiao Qiong Mount.
