Chapter 139: Zixiao Discusses Matters According to Circumstances
The Supreme Saint finished speaking, and the other saints couldn't help but be speechless. However, the Supreme Saint's words were not wrong either. Not to mention Wuji, who was sitting beside them, whose strength was still not something that the saints could easily take down even now. Even Xuan Du, Feng Qiu, Liu Mei, Xiao Xue, Ling Zhen and others had already attained the quasi-saint position for tens of millions of years. As for their own sects, there really wasn't anyone who had the confidence to send them up to the Divine Rank List.
At the time of the saints' deliberation, Nüwa said: "Fellow Taoists, I, Nüwa, do not establish a sect and have no disciples under me, so I should not be included in the list." The saints and Wújí heard Nüwa's words and did not say much more. After all, apart from Jīnfèng, there were indeed no other disciples by Nüwa's side. The saints could hardly put Nüwa's mount and nominal disciple on the list.
Thereafter, the Western Pure Land Bodhisattva said: "Fellow Dharma friends, my Western Pure Land is poor and barren, with few disciples, and even fewer who have attained enlightenment through cause and effect. My disciples under me spend their days in the Western Pure Land contemplating the Buddha's teachings of myself and my fellow monk, where would they come into contact with any karma or killing? It is not right to include them on this list, it is not right to include them in the cycle of birth and death."
Yuanshi Tianzun originally wanted to speak, but was preempted by Zhunti Shengren. His face naturally looked displeased. Yuanshi Tianzun said: "All the immortals under my gate are virtuous and have countless merits, everyone has a high and profound nature, but it's not suitable for them to be on the list!" After finishing speaking, Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Zhunti Shengren with deep meaning and said: "As for what Zhunti Daoyou said about his disciples being few and rarely encountering cause-and-effect events, I dare not agree."
Tongtian Sect Master saw that his second brother had spoken up, and naturally helped to add: "That's right, Second Brother is absolutely right. Who doesn't know that the Western Sect under Daoist friends is now filled with talented people, and it's not much different from my own Cuttlefish Sect? Moreover, the reputation of Daoist friends' Western Sect in the Hongyuan is not very good, I think Daoist friends' Western Sect is entangled in karma."
Zhun Ti Sheng Ren originally wanted to refute, but was stopped by Jie Yin Sheng Ren. It turned out that Zhun Ti Sheng Ren said so earlier because he didn't want his own sect to suffer losses and unconsciously made false statements. At this time, being refuted by Tong Tian Jiao Zhu, there is no way to speak, Tong Tian Jiao Zhu's words are reasonable and well-founded, and the Western Sect has been somewhat disgraced in recent years due to some inferior members.
Just as Zhunti Shengren was about to get angry, the guide saint said: "What Tongtian Daoyou said is true, my humble abode indeed has some unscrupulous disciples, but under my and my fellow monk's Buddhist enlightenment, they have already taken refuge in Buddhism and will no longer do evil. On the other hand, your esteemed sect currently has a grand momentum of ten thousand immortals coming to pay respects, my humble brothers are far from comparable."
Jie Yin Sheng Ren's words not only explained to his own master and brother, but more importantly, Jie Yin Sheng Ren actually shifted the blame of the gunpowder barrel to Tong Tian Jiao Zhu's sect. Everyone couldn't help but feel that Jie Yin Sheng Ren was even more ruthless than Zhun Ti Sheng Ren, who was known for being merciless, and they didn't expect Jie Yin Sheng Ren to be so cunning.
The Immortal Guide didn't say how to deal with the Tianyi Sect disciples, but the people present were all top-notch figures in the Hongyuan era. The Tianyi Sect Master's subordinates knew some things about their master's actions. At this moment, the Tianyi Sect Master saw that the Immortal Guide's target had shifted to himself. He spoke out: "My humble sect has some unworthy disciples, but there are more virtuous people who help the human race and protect a region."
Wuji saw the various saints' children pulling and tugging, and couldn't help but say: "Master ancestors, teachers, master uncles, three fellow Taoists, since all of you do not agree to put your own disciples in the future rankings, don't leave us out. We came here relying on our own abilities, how can this be?"
Everyone who heard the words of Wu Jiets expressed their agreement. After all, it's not easy to cultivate a disciple, and now they want to send their own door to the list, but they can't bear to part with them. The plan of Wujie is to let them rely on their own abilities to fight for a chance at life.
Hongjun Daozu saw the various saints because of Wuji's words, and opened his mouth to say: "Since you have all decided, then so be it. One million five hundred thousand years later, a great calamity will arise. However, your disciples will each rely on their own destiny, and in the future, you will not be able to regret."
The various saints said: "Disciples humbly obey the master's orders, dare not go back on their word." After that, Hong Jun Dao Zu disappeared silently in the Purple Mist Palace. The various saints saw that Hong Jun Dao Zu had left and also returned to their respective Taoist temples one after another, thinking about how to welcome the Great Tribulation of the Sealing of the Gods 15,000 years later.
At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun did not return to his own Penglai Fairy Island, but instead came to the Taiqing Heaven of Taishang Shengren with Sanqing Shengren. After the four of them made their preparations, Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Elder brother, I don't know how you view this time's Great Calamity of Sealing the Gods; how should we proceed?"
The Supreme Saint had not yet responded when the Tongtian Sect Master spoke up, "Second Brother, what's there to worry about? With our four people's strength, who in the vast expanse of the universe is our match? Big Brother doesn't need to be overly concerned."
The Supreme Saint said, "Third Brother, don't be too proud. Although our abilities are not bad, there is still a master above us, and above the master is the Heavenly Way. This time we were robbed, but we cannot easily take action."
Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Elder brother's words are indeed correct. Third brother, think about how to take advantage of this great calamity to kick out the unscrupulous disciples from your sect and improve the fortunes of Jianjiao. Although you now have the Qiankun Ding suppressing the fortunes of Jianjiao, the fortunes of Jianjiao are still declining."
Tongtian Sect Master couldn't help but move his thoughts upon hearing the old affairs of Yuanshi Tianzun being brought up again. Originally, Tongtian Sect Master didn't have a treasure to suppress the aura of fate, and was unable to suppress the aura of fate of Jie Teaching, which is why Tongtian Sect Master had set up an extraordinary array of one million immortals to help himself suppress the aura of fate of Jie Teaching.
However, at this time, the Jie teaching gas operation has already had the innate treasure Qiankun Ding suppressing it. The Wanxian Great Array suppressing the Jie teaching's gas operation seems a bit awkward, and among the Wanxian who entered the Tongtian Sect, there will inevitably be some unscrupulous people.
The Wanxian Grand Array is now not only useless to Jie Jiao, but also consuming its aura. Even with the Qiankun Ding suppressing the aura, Tongtian Sect Master can still feel his own aura slowly disappearing. This calamity, if handled well, might actually be an opportunity to rectify his own Jie Jiao.
Although the Tianxian Sect Master thought so, he couldn't say it out loud, and could only remain silent, pretending to agree. The Taishang Shengren, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Wujizhen saw that the Tianxian Sect Master was being evasive and understood that he had already agreed to rectify the Jie Teaching.
Wuji suddenly said: "The teacher, Shibo, and disciples think that letting the younger generation get on the list won't necessarily be a bad thing. As long as we can control the Sealing God List."
Wuji's words made the Three Pure Ones saints pause, not understanding what Wuji was thinking, and they couldn't help but look at Wuji. The Tianyun Sect Master asked: "Wuji, how did you come up with this?"
