Chapter 84 Continue to divide the treasures, Taozu answers questions
In Zixiao Palace, under the eyes full of jealousy from all the cultivators, Daozu Hongjun bestowed the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the formation diagram to Tongtian.
Afterwards, Hongjun looked at Nuwa, pondered slightly, and remained silent for a moment, and continued:
"Nuwa is a great meritorious person. I have a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Mountain and River Society Map, and a top-grade innate spiritual treasure lotus lamp. Today, I will give it to you to manage."
"Disciple thanks the teacher!"
Nuwa took the Mountain and River Society Map and the Treasure Lotus Lamp and thanked Hongjun. But she was very dissatisfied in her heart. The Three Pure Ones all got the innate treasures, but when it was her turn, she was only given a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and a top-grade spiritual treasure.
After giving the Mountain and River Society Map to Nuwa, Daozu Hongjun closed his eyes and remained silent. Seeing this, Jie Yin and Zhunti were secretly annoyed and had to use their own magical skills to exchange for spiritual treasures. They only heard the two crying to Hongjun:
"Teacher, my western part is extremely poor and I don't have many spiritual treasures. I hope you will have mercy on me!"
"Oh, forget it, forget it! Jie Yin, I have a twelve-grade golden lotus of merit here, which can suppress your western luck. I will also give you six pure bamboos for attack. Zhunti, I will give you the seven-treasure wonderful tree, which can sweep everything under the innate. I will also give you the Vajra Divine Pestle for attacking spiritual treasures. I hope you two will use it carefully!" Hongjun said impatiently, and then handed a golden lotus, a green bamboo, a seven-color small tree and a golden pestle to the two.
In this way, the difference between direct disciples and registered disciples was revealed. Yuanshi sneered in his heart, Tongtian showed disdain, Laozi had no expression on his face, and many other cultivators, in addition to some laughter, were more fiery in their hearts, so that they looked at Daozu Hongjun with extremely fiery eyes.
"Hongjun is unfair, why does he treat us in the West like this?" Jieyin and Zhunti were grateful on the surface, and they kept bowing their heads, but they were already cursing in their hearts, cursing Hongjun for being unfair. Everyone can see that their spiritual treasures are not comparable to those of the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. They only have the top-grade spiritual treasure like the 12-grade golden lotus, which is not powerful and is mainly used for defense. The others are all top-grade innate spiritual treasures, which are even worse. And the direct disciples of the Three Pure Ones not only have innate treasures, but also killing treasures like the Zhuxian Sword Formation.
Yuanshi sneered in his heart, you are a poor place in the West, and you still want Hongjun to give you spiritual treasures? If it weren't for repaying the cause and effect, maybe you wouldn't even have a seat? Haha!
"Report to Daozu."
At this moment, Dong Wanggong, who was sitting in the middle, shouted loudly, "In the prehistoric world, there were wars from time to time, and many cultivators were robbed. I would like to establish an alliance to protect the scattered cultivators in the world. Please grant me the Daozu's permission."
"Since that's the case, then Dong Wanggong, you will be the leader of the prehistoric male immortals from now on. I will give you the innate spiritual treasure Tianyang Divine Sword." I don't know what the ancestor was thinking. He waved his hand and handed a red divine sword to Dong Wanggong.
"Queen Mother of the West, you will be the leader of the prehistoric female immortals from now on. I will give you the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Kunlun Mirror. This mirror is also known as the Tianji Mirror. It can see through the past and future secrets. It contains the laws of space and can travel through the void. From now on, you two will be in charge of the scattered cultivators in the world." Hongjun said to Queen Mother of the West next to Dong Wanggong indifferently, and then handed her a treasure mirror.
"Thank you, Daozu."
The two of them were full of excitement and thanked Daozu. They didn't know how many people had already hated them at this moment. The leader of the male and female immortals in the world, doesn't that mean that we will also be under their control? Humph!
"Disciples and others have little cultivation, please give us some spiritual treasures for self-defense and corpse-cutting."
After seeing the spiritual treasures being divided, Hongjun closed his eyes and stopped talking. Some cultivators immediately shouted, and others hurriedly asked Hongjun Daozu to give them spiritual treasures.
Seeing this, Hongjun had no choice but to say: "Forget it, there are still many innate spiritual treasures on the Dividing Treasure Rock outside Zixiao Palace. You can go there and try your luck after I merge with the Dao."
"Ah! Disciples and others thank you, teacher, for your mercy!" When the cultivators heard that there were still spiritual treasures? They were overjoyed and thanked him.
"Do you have any questions? I will answer them for you before I merge with the Dao." Hongjun asked calmly.
All the cultivators looked at Yuanshi. As the eldest disciple, Yuanshi should be the one to ask questions.
"Teacher, can I achieve enlightenment without the primordial purple qi?" Yuanshi asked calmly, asking a question that he already knew but everyone wanted to know.
Sure enough, as soon as this was said, all the cultivators brightened their eyes and stared at Daozu to see how he would answer.
"Yes!" Daozu looked at Yuanshi deeply and answered with one word.
Ah? Really? The cultivators were very excited, and they felt that they still had a chance. But they didn't know that it would be thousands of times more difficult to achieve enlightenment without the primordial purple qi than with the primordial purple qi.
"Teacher, is everything destined and unchangeable?" Yuanshi continued to ask.
Hongjun looked at Yuanshi deeply again and said lightly: "Small trends can be changed, but big trends cannot be changed."
Yuanshi was thoughtful, and Hongjun's words were worth thinking about. What is a small trend? What is a big trend? Size is generally relative, and no one can tell the difference. Only by finding the measure between the two, and then grasping it, don't go too far, and generally nothing will happen. Now what he had to do was to find that balance point.
"Teacher, what is the way to achieve enlightenment?" Laozi thought for a while and asked. As soon as this question came out, all the cultivators listened carefully to the Taoist's answer again, fearing that they would miss something.
"Three thousand great avenues, each one can prove the Hunyuan. But I have summarized three. One is the strongest one, who proves the Tao with strength. The second one is the middle one, who kills three corpses to prove the Tao. The third one is the inferior one. The person who achieves great merits and becomes a saint has the weakest magic power.”
"I dare to ask the teacher, has anyone ever succeeded in proving the Tao with force?" Tongtian asked hurriedly. Proving the Tao with force has the strongest magic power. Of course, his first choice is to prove the Tao with force.
"Pangu was a person who used his strength to prove the Tao, but he failed in the end and transformed into all things in the world." Daozu glanced at Tongtian and said calmly. He would not say that Pangu almost succeeded. If it weren't for the sneak attack and the battle with three thousand demon gods, Pangu would have succeeded.
ah? Everyone felt bitter. Even Pangu failed. Aren't they doomed too? It seems that we need to think about the second way, or becoming a saint through merit, but is merit so easy to obtain?
"I dare to ask the teacher, after joining the Tao, will the teacher be the way of heaven?" Nuwa, as a woman, is more careful and asked a more profound question.
"After the union, Hongjun becomes the Dao of Heaven, but the Dao of Heaven is not Hongjun."
Hongjun gave an ambiguous answer, and everyone was still confused. In Yuanshi's view, this means that after Hongjun joined the Tao, Hongjun became a part of the Tao of Heaven, so he is the Tao of Heaven. But the way of heaven is not only Hongjun, it also has other large parts. Therefore, the way of heaven is not Hongjun.
"After the teacher joins the Tao, if we have something to report, how should we meet the teacher?" Jie Yin, who had always been reluctant to talk, asked at this time.
"The calamity cannot be calculated, and Hongjun will not show up! Well, I am about to join the Tao. Whether you can seize this opportunity depends on you." After Hongjun answered the leading question, he saw Some people wanted to ask questions, so they interrupted directly and spoke.
"Teacher, be merciful!" Everyone worshiped.
