Chapter 956 Codename: The New Master of Guixu!

Chapter 956 Codename: New Lord of Guixu!
At this moment, Chen Luo looked at the middle-aged man who was trying to please Chen Xuan with a shameless face, and his mind was a little dazed.

He, Chen Luo, AKA the light of literati, the ruler of the red dust road, the emperor of the universe.

He showed kindness to Zhao Gongming of Jiejiao and the Three Goddesses.

The master’s wife is Kuzhu, one of the innate creatures. She chats and laughs with Yun Zhongzi, the immortal of virtue and fortune, and absorbs the creation of Chi Jingzi and Wu Dang Sheng Mu into her own body.

My dearest sister is the reincarnation of the Tai Chi diagram.

Just this identity, just this background, just this foundation!

He was just waiting to show off when he saw his cheap dad.

Let the cheap old man know what the most handsome guy in the sky is!
I never expected!
The cheap old man is actually the great master Xuandu!

He is the direct descendant of Laozi and a legitimate Taoist master!
In the context of the transcendence of the Three Friends, from the perspective of the Taoist tradition, he is the undisputed leader of the Taoist sect and the leader of the sect!
Do you still want to bully others?
Now, I can only say that a new article is in the works.

“My Father: The Great Master Xuandu”!
…

After an unknown amount of time, the cheap dad seemed to have calmed Chen Xuan down.

It’s not that Master Xuandu wants to coax his daughter first, but Chen Xuan requires him to explain everything to her first, and then she will judge whether the other party is suitable for contacting Chen Luo.

If it was not appropriate, she would take Chen Luo and leave immediately.

But it seems that the conversation between the two went smoothly.

“I’m going to go out first. You can have a good chat with… Dad.” Chen Xuan walked up to Chen Luo, smiled, straightened Chen Luo’s clothes, and then turned and left. Only Chen Luo and Master Xuandu were left in the secret room.

The two people’s eyes met, and after a moment, it was Master Xuandu who broke the silence first.

“Well…if you’re not used to calling me dad, you can call me Lao Chen.”

“Is your last name really Chen?” Chen Luo himself didn’t expect that this would be his first question.

“Laojun’s name is ‘Er’, and purple air comes from the east, so I took the name ‘Erdong’, which means Chen!” Master Xuandu walked up to Chen Luo, sat down, and explained.

“What about your name? Ziyun, what does it mean?” Chen Luo asked again.

“When in Rome, do as the Romans do. At that time, Confucianism was flourishing in the world. Confucius said that poetry was an exposition of the doctrine, so he was named Ziyun!”

“I can’t call myself Chen Xuandu!”

Chen Luo smiled lightly upon hearing this, and the two fell into a brief silence again.

After a moment, Chen Luo raised his head, looked directly at Master Xuandu, and said, “You promised me that you would tell me everything when we meet again.”

Master Xuandu met Chen Luo’s gaze and nodded.

“Yes, but I really didn’t expect this day to come so soon.”

“It’s a long story.”

Chen Luo sat up straight: “I traveled without sleep just to save more time to listen to this story.”

…

In the vast sky, a treasure that looked like a cushion was flying rapidly.

The futon is not big, but it has its own space inside.

At this time, the Holy Mother Wu Dang was meditating to heal her wounds, Yang Jian and Nezha were still chatting, and Yun Zhongzi was studying the Dinghai Pearl that he had just snatched back from Randeng. Seeing Chen Xuan coming out, Jade Ding Zhenren and Lingbao Master hurried forward and bowed, saying, “Fellow Daoist Chen, how was the conversation between the Master and the Human Emperor?”

Chen Xuan bowed and said with a smile: “Two seniors, I have escaped the catastrophe and reincarnated. I am no longer the Tai Chi diagram of the past. According to my father’s seniority, you can call me nephew.”

Then, Chen Xuan said, “As for Daddy and Xiao Luo, they are just talking among men, so I won’t get involved.”

“Please wait patiently, seniors!”

Jade Ding Zhenren and Lingbao Dafashi looked at each other, and both of them sighed softly, then sat down on the left and right of the door like door gods.

…

“Where should I start?” Master Xuandu raised his head, looked at the sky, and finally said, “Let’s start from Guixu.”

Chen Luo nodded: “Okay. Anyway, I’ll listen to whatever you say.”

Master Xuandu smiled and said, “You should already know about the dispute between Hongmeng and Guixu, so I won’t say more.”

“Returning to the ruins and turning into a demon, it will devour the primordial world.”

“This demon comes from the world that is materialized from Guixu – Zuyuan.”

As he spoke, Master Xuandu stretched out his hand, and a ball of black mist appeared in his hand. It seemed as if a world began to slowly condense in the mist.

“Zuyuan, there are eight in total.”

“Among them, the one who controls Zuyuan is known as the Demon Ancestor, and is comparable to the Hunyuan Wuji Saint.”

Chen Luo frowned slightly: “Eight Demon Ancestors?”

“That’s not the case…” Grand Master Xuandu shook his head. “Zuyuan’s existence represents the will of Guixu, the return of all worlds to nothingness.”

“Therefore, among the Ancestral Abysses, there is a very special one, called the Ancestral Abyss of Disaster. This Ancestral Abyss was born when the primordial universe was destroyed in the future. It will be the one that will deal with the other Demon Ancestors and return everything to nothingness.”

“So, there are actually only seven ancestral abysses that truly exist.”

“The Ancestral Abyss will split into different numbers of lower-level Demon Abysses. Those who refine the Demon Abyss will have the same level of cultivation as good fortune.”

“The seven great ancestral abysses and nearly a hundred demonic abysses constitute the combat power of Guixu.”

“On the other hand, there are Hong Meng, the three friends of Chan Jie, the three emperors of the human race, plus the two saints of the West, and the secluded goddess Nuwa, there are a total of nine Hunyuan Wuji saints.”

“So, in the battle between Hongmeng and Guixu, the devil is always one foot taller than Taoism!”

“It’s just that there were two unexpected events.”

“What happened?” Chen Luo couldn’t help but asked.

“First, in Guixu, the ancestor source is immortal!” Great Master Xuandu sighed, “Even if you kill a demon lord, after a long time, a new demon ancestor will still be born.”

“This is why even though Hongmeng clearly has the upper hand, it still has to fight against the devil’s calamity one epoch after another.”

“But even though Zuyuan is not destroyed, Hongmeng can always deal with it. Sometimes, being united against the outside world can eliminate many conflicts within Hongmeng, which is not necessarily a bad thing.”

“The key lies in the second incident.”

The great master Xuandu said: “The three ancestors are about to transcend.”

Chen Luo frowned slightly. It was a very simple question.

It was originally seven to nine, but now it has become seven to six.

“I once asked Lao Jun what transcendence is,” said Master Xuan Du. “Lao Jun said it is a great temptation.”

“It’s like you’re standing on this side of the river, and a bridge appears, allowing you to walk to the other side of the river.”

“In the realm of the Primordial Saint, all laws are indestructible and indestructible, but it is still under the control of Hongmeng and exists in this chaotic world.”

“And transcendence will become eternity, jumping out of this chaos.”

Master Xuandu shrugged his shoulders and said, “Anyway, I am a real hands-off boss. I don’t care about anything anymore.”

Chen Luo nodded in agreement.

“What happened next?” Chen Luo continued to ask.

“Later?” Master Xuandu smiled. “The three friends have transcended, and Hongmeng is bound to be impacted, so we need to further consolidate the Hongmeng order.”

“This is the origin of the Conferred God List and the origin of the Heavenly Palace!”

Chen Luo paused slightly and looked at Master Xuandu.

“Is it very rare?”

“Guixu itself represents complete nothingness, while Hongmeng represents firm existence.”

“What can better demonstrate the existence of ‘existence’ than reason and order?”

“The Heavenly Court actually exists to sort out the origin of the Heavenly Dao, transform the origin into Heavenly Dao, and establish a more stable Hongmeng order, so as to resist the impact of the Guixu Demon Clan after the three friends transcend.”

“The Three Friends are innate creatures and cannot be considered human, but the Three Emperors are authentic humans.”

“For a race to produce three Hunyuan Wuji Saints is enough to show the luck of this race.”

“So, the human race was chosen to be the main body of the Heavenly Court and the master of Hongmeng.”

“This is exactly the origin of the three religions of Chan Sect, Jie Sect, and Ren Sect signing the List of Gods in the Biyou Palace!”

At this point, Master Xuandu smiled and said, “Let me tell you a little gossip that you don’t know.”

“This Conferred God List is the magic weapon that the Three Emperors worked together to refine!”

“Jiang Ziya actually has the destiny of becoming a golden immortal. But the Three Emperors insisted on using mortals to confer gods in order to consolidate the destiny of the human race. That’s why Junior Brother Jiang was driven down the mountain by Uncle Yuanshi and was not given the chance to become an immortal.”

Chen Luo was stunned and a little surprised.

But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed somewhat illogical for a person who can be deified to have no fate of becoming an immortal but only a career in officialdom.

Now it makes sense.

“Can a heaven fill the gap left by the three friends’ transcendence?” Chen Luo said.

Three Hunyuan Wuji saints.

Can a heaven support it?

Chen Luo: I don’t believe it!

“Of course not. There are other arrangements here.” Master Xuandu did not hide the fact, “This involves the three friends’ path to transcendence and their deal with the Three Emperors!”

“The world you came from should be the Three Pure Ones as ancestors, right?”

Chen Luo nodded upon hearing this.

In the past, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun were collectively known as the Three Pure Ones, the source of Taoism. However, in “The Investiture of the Gods”, these three pure ones are just the three incarnations of Laojun’s “three pure ones in one breath”.

“In the past, the three friends passed on the Dharma. Laojun and Yuanshi jointly established the Chan Sect, hoping to explain the truth to the people; while Uncle Tongtian established the Jie Sect, hoping to cut off a ray of hope for all things.”

“But Laojun discovered that there was something wrong with their path to transcendence.”

“Let’s talk about Chanjiao first. Laojun and Yuanshi share Chanjiao’s merits, but they can’t support two paths to transcendence.”

“Then there is Uncle Tongtian. His teachings run counter to the original intention of establishing the Heavenly Court and establishing the human race as the common ruler of heaven and earth.”

“You just said, can the Heavenly Court fill the gap left by the Three Friends’ transcendence?”

“Of course not.”

“If we want to fill the gap, there is another key, which is to increase the luck of the human race as much as possible.”

Master Xuandu spoke slowly, but seeing Chen Luo’s still puzzled expression, he said directly: “The method given by Laojun is to enter the human way!”

“Into the human world?” Chen Luo was puzzled. “How to enter?”

“This is the eternal plan of Laojun.” Master Xuandu pinched his beard and continued, “The real beginning was after the Conferred God.”

“The first step is to change the explanation into the Tao!”

“After the Conferred Gods, Laojun and Uncle Yuanshi disbanded the Chan Sect. Laojun gave up his Three Pure Ones clones and became the Three Pure Ones Patriarch. He founded Taoism and replaced the Human Sect of Huoyun Cave, becoming the New Human Sect.”

“Among the three pure avatars, Taiqing and Laojun, Shangqing and Tongtian, all established Dao fruit connections. Finally, Uncle Yuanshi directly occupied the position of Yuqing and ruled Taoism. Because of this, Yuqing is the most respected among the three pure ones.”

“With the merits of Conferred Gods, I will first help Master Yuanshi to transcend. The Three Pure Ones are one, and when Master Yuanshi transcends, Taiqing and Shangqing will also be able to transcend as well.”

“At this time, although Laojun and Tongtian are still in Hongmeng, they have a rope leading to transcendence because of the relationship between Taiqing Daode Tianzun and Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun. They only need a push from the helper to jump out of this chaos and transcend.”

“The second step is to transform into a Buddha!”

When Master Xuandu said this, he sighed softly.

“During the canonization war, the two saints Jie Yin and Zhunti wanted to take advantage of them, but they were also Lao Jun’s shields in front of the three emperors.”

“In addition to the important combat forces that are necessary for the Heavenly Court, Laojun secretly arranged for Jieyin and Zhunti to absorb a large number of Jiejiao disciples into the Western Religion to strengthen the fortune of the Western Religion.”

“After being deified, Laojun came to earth and transformed into Laozi, completing his ascension into the human way.”

“Afterwards, he went west through Hangu Pass and converted the barbarians into Buddhas, becoming Sakyamuni.”

Master Xuandu smiled and said, “During this process, Randeng, Juliusun, Cihang, Manjusri, and Samantabhadra, who converted to Western Buddhism after the Conferred Gods, had already sidelined Jieyin and Zhunti. Among them, Cihang was even known as the Master of the Seven Buddhas, and basically completed the conversion to Western Buddhism.”

“Think about it, what is the difference between cutting off a ray of hope for all things and being merciful to Buddha and saving all living beings?”

Chen Luo was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Oh shit!

Aren’t these two statements talking about the same thing?
One is more proactive, confronting the way of heaven directly, while the other is more tactful, facing the victim directly.

It’s just a different angle.

“That’s right. As a result, Jiejiao’s luck was absorbed by the newly born Buddhism, and Buddhism is dominated by the human race, so it once again strengthened the luck of the human race.”

“And Sakyamuni, the incarnation of Laozi, entered Lingshan Mountain and, with the help of the spread of Buddhism from the west to the east, he gained the help of transcendence, thus jumping out of chaos and transcending.”

“The Taishang Laojun in the Heavenly Palace at that time was just a projection of Laojun. After Sakyamuni transcended, the Taishang Laojun in the Tushita Palace also disappeared.”

At this moment, Chen Luo was filled with shock.

It’s wonderful.

After some planning, Taoism strengthened the human race once, Laozi came to the world to strengthen the human race once, and Western religion became Buddhism, which strengthened the human race again!
In addition, Yuanshi Tianzun and Laojun both successfully transcended.

“Then…what about Master Tongtian?” Chen Luo asked curiously.

“Uncle Tongtian?” Master Xuandu looked at him with a playful look and said with a smile, “He transcended earlier than Laojun.”

“Think about it…”

“Think about it carefully, using the layout thinking of Laojun that I just told you about!”

“Where do you think Uncle Tongtian got the help from?”

Hearing that Master Xuandu was testing him, Chen Luo frowned and his brain started working rapidly.

“One step earlier than Laojun?”

“It must be related to the human race!”

“Where did you get the help to transcend?”

After a moment, Chen Luo suddenly thought of something, his whole body trembled, and he looked at Master Xuandu in disbelief.

“Old Chen, no way?”

“Could it be that Master Tongtian is…”

Chen Luo swallowed his saliva and slowly opened his mouth: “Laojun came to the world and transformed into Laozi Li Er, thus entering the human world.”

“Could it be that Master Tongtian has also come to the mortal world?”

“He turned into…”

“Confucius?”

“Hahahahahaha…not bad!” Master Xuandu nodded approvingly.

What the hell!
Confucius is the master of all heaven?

Chen Luo was just testing the waters, but he didn’t expect to hit the mark.

Hold on, Hold on!

Let me sort this out.

Confucius was nine feet six inches tall, or two meters and two centimeters tall, and was able to hold up a city gate.

Well, the combat power is equal.

Three thousand disciples and seventy-two sages.

Well, this style of thousands of immortals coming to pay homage is totally in line with the situation.

The most important thing is that Confucius opened a private school, “teaching everyone without distinction, teaching according to their aptitude”…

Shit, isn’t this the educational purpose of Biyou Palace?

Think deeper.

The Confucian scholars who woke up early were all very powerful in combat, and they were all very good at fighting.

Don’t tell me, once you accept this setting, you suddenly feel that the style of painting is right!
“Master Tongtian entered the human race, regardless of his identity, and preached to the world. On the one hand, it was to increase the luck of the human race, and on the other hand, it was to make up for the murder committed by Jiejiao during the Conferred God War.”

“Finally, success is achieved and transcendence is achieved.”

“From now on, Laojun, Yuanshi, and Tongtian have all transcended!”

At this moment, Chen Luo didn’t know how to describe his feelings.

Together, the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are you three!

No wonder people keep saying that the three religions are one family. Aren’t they one family?

“The arrangements have been completed. Next, if nothing unexpected happens, what should happen?” Chen Luo asked.

Master Xuandu listened to Chen Luo’s words and nodded with a wry smile.

“Yes, there was an accident!”

“According to the original plan, after Laojun and the others transcend, Hongmeng still has three human emperors, Zhunti, Jieyin, and the Heavenly Court supported by the human race, which can mobilize the power of the Heavenly Dao. Together with Nuwa, it is enough to deal with the Guixu Demon Tribulation. Given time, a new saint will be born, and the situation will return to the past when the Taoist priests and demons disappeared.”

“It is worth mentioning Zhunti and Jieyin. Although they had their fortunes of the Western religion taken away by Laojun’s Buddha, their original path could only lead to sainthood, not transcendence, so it is hard to say who took away whose fortune.”

“On the contrary, if they help the human race resist the demonic calamity, there may be a slight possibility of transcendence.”

“However, when Zhunti and Jieyin saw the three friends transcend, they had other ideas.”

“They attempted to merge the power of Hongmeng and Guixu to reverse the chaos and achieve transcendence.”

“In order to achieve this goal, they released the demon into Hongmeng!”

“In that battle, Xuandu fell!”

The voice of the great magician Xuandu became low: “In order to save the common people of Hongmeng, the goddess Hou Tu turned into Xitu to fill the rift between the two worlds; the goddess Nuwa spread vitality to protect all living beings in the world from being invaded by the demons, and the five emperors of Huoyun Cave fell.”

“The Emperor of Heaven Suiren, the Emperor of Earth Shennong, the Emperor of Thailand Fuxi.”

“The three Human Emperors of the Primordial Wuji Saint Realm fought for their lives and perished together with the three Ancestral Abysses.”

“At this time, Jie Yin and Zhunti took action in the chaos, each killing a demon ancestor and refining the other’s ancestral abyss.”

“The Demon Ancestor was worried about a trick, so they withdrew. Jie Yin and Zhunti also returned to Guixu with the refined Zu Yuan, and among them were some of their disciples who had been instigated to rebel beforehand.”

“The two ancestral abysses, when combined into one, are the present-day Western Pure Land of Bliss.”

“Does the Western Pure Land of Bliss pose a threat to Hongmeng?” Chen Luo asked incisively.

If there is no threat, then no matter what the purpose of Jie Yin and Zhun Ti is, it is equivalent to exchanging the opponent’s two Zuyuan. Although the sacrifice is great, the Human Emperor and Zuyuan are the limit of one-to-one exchange. From a big picture perspective, the battle situation is still favorable to Hongmeng.

“How can there be nothing?” Master Xuandu said solemnly, “Jie Yin and Zhunti want to take the path of re-enacting the Primordial Chaos, and they will have to refine Guixu and Hongmeng again, then everything in Hongmeng will no longer exist.”

“It’s just that, relatively speaking, their urgency to refine Guixu is greater.”

Master Xuandu paused and continued, “Although the Three Emperors have fallen, they obtained a crucial piece of information when they destroyed the three ancestral abysses.”

“The key to dealing with Guixu is the eighth ancestral abyss of catastrophe that has been hidden from the world.”

“That is the end of everything, but also the beginning of everything. As long as we control that Zuyuan, we will control the entire Guixu.”

“But there are only two ways to make Jiemie Zuyuan appear in the world.”

“One is what I said before, the destruction of Hongmeng.”

“The other is that all the ancestors will be destroyed.”

“So, in Guixu, the Western Pure Land of Bliss and the two Ancestral Abysses are each other’s top enemies.”

“I understand!” Chen Luo nodded, “Heretics are often more hateful than pagans!”

Master Xuandu nodded and said, “It is because of the two ancestral demons restraining Jie Yin and Zhunti that we have room to move around.”

“So, I have been planning with Lady Nuwa for thousands of years and have come up with a plan that may solve the problem once and for all!”

“Codename: New Lord of Guixu!”

“The new master of Guixu?” Chen Luo paused for a moment, then pointed at himself, “Me?”

Well, let me explain, the number of candidates for the Three Emperors, 80,000, was selected from the “Shangshu Dachuan”. There are other versions, but this book is based on this setting.
