Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

“Empress, the practice of each Dharmakāya is different from that of the Dharmakāya. The practice of Houyi’s Dharmakāya is also different from that of Yang Jian. After reaching the fourth realm, Houyi’s Dharmakāya’s way is to concentrate on cultivating the magic weapon, which is the Sun-Shooting Bow in my hand, and then enter the fifth realm. How to enter the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian? And are there any more realm divisions after the Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian?” Ji Ren asked curiously.

“The sixth realm is not called Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. Daluo Jinxian is the name of the fairy world. The sixth realm is Hunyuan, the seventh realm is Wuji, and the eighth realm is Hongmeng. These eight realms were created by the first human king. The first human king once said that there is a ninth realm, which is above all the heavens and worlds, transcending time and space cause and effect, unknowable and indisputable, but omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. But even the first human king has not reached it, let alone the others.” said Queen Hou Tu.

Now that the gods in the divine world want to obtain the Dharma image of Fuxi, they also have this consideration.

I hope to learn from the cultivation experience of the first generation of human king to break through Hongmeng.

"The innate eight trigrams, the eight realms of the Dharma." Ji Ren seemed to be thinking about something, and then said, "My lady, the divine Dharma is supreme and can be cultivated to the seventh and eighth realms. So the limit of the nine-color immortal Dharma is the sixth realm?"

"Wrong, it's the five realms. The limit of the nine colors is the Daluo Golden Immortal. The Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal is not the complete Hunyuan realm, but they have borrowed the power of the original rules of this world. In this world, they can exert a power comparable to Hunyuan. If they leave this world and go to the other heavens, they are just ordinary Daluo Golden Immortals, and essentially they are just pseudo-Hunyuan." said the Queen Mother Hou Tu.

"Fake Hunyuan?" Ji Ren was surprised. After thinking for a while, he said, "Then Niangniang and Niangniang Nuwa are the real Hunyuan, and Daozu is the seventh level Wuji?"

“No, they are all Hunyuan. Once you reach the Hongmeng Realm, you will become the emperor of the human race. You can create the world with just a wave of your hand. But you also need to guard one place and cannot leave. Therefore, in the God Realm, the seventh realm, the Wuji Realm, is the strongest that ordinary gods and men have seen. You can guard dozens of worlds. For just one world, naturally Hunyuan should be the one to guard it. It’s just that Ji Hong is very strong. Feng Yuexi and I can defeat him only if we join forces.” said the Queen Mother Hou Tu.

"How is the Hunyuan realm divided, first level or second level?" Ji Ren asked curiously.

"In the Hunyuan realm, the Dao is used to distinguish things, and there is no clear boundary between strong and weak. The specific strength depends on how one performs the action." said the Queen Mother Hou Tu.

"Yes." Ji Ren nodded. There was no obvious distinction between the strong and the weak, and it was difficult to tell their specific strengths. If they were all in the Hunyuan realm, it would be assumed that there were six in the Three Realms. No, the five saints were in the early Hunyuan realm, so Laozi had to be excluded. This guy hid too deeply. The Hou Tu Niangniang and Nuwa Niangniang were in the middle Hunyuan realm, and Hongjun was in the late Hunyuan realm.

As for the specific strength, we will explore it later.

Got to speed up the process.

"Okay, these are too far away from you. I am just telling you this. You don't need to delve into the real mysteries, so as not to be too ambitious. Right now, your top priority is to take advantage of Yang Jian's Dharma image to gain the luck of the catastrophe, and then to hone the power of Houyi's Dharma image. Then, when the catastrophe is over and the luck gathers, enter Lei Ze and find the Dharma image of the Human King." said Queen Hou Tu.

"I understand. By the way, Your Majesty, when you entered the secret realm, did you find anyone else besides me? Before, I entered the secret realm with four people: Randang, Dingguang, Dashizhi, and the Great Saint National Master Wang. Where are they now?" Ji Ren said.

"They failed Houyi's assessment and stayed in the first level of the secret realm. After you condensed Houyi's Dharma image and the secret realm began to collapse, they left first. Now they have been taken away by two people in the west and are no longer in the underworld." Queen Hou Tu.

It has been a few days.

In fact, it wasn't the first time she saw Ji Ren.

She saw it when Ji Ren and Yue Shen were playing offense and defense.

It’s just that the scene was a bit too intense, and Hou Tu was embarrassed to go in and interrupt.

Therefore, Queen Hou Tu directly cut the secret space, cutting Ji Ren, the Moon Goddess and the secret realm into the depths of the underworld, and announced to Hongjun and Nuwa that she wanted this person.

She didn’t show up until now when Ji-in came out.

"Have they all been taken away?" Ji Ren raised his eyebrows when he heard this. By only mentioning these people, it means that Queen Hou Tu did not discover the Great Emperor Zhenwu. When she has time, she will go and have a good contact with this emperor.

The people in the God Realm regard the beings in the Immortal Realm as prey, but these people in the Immortal Realm are unwilling to do so.

Maybe we can collaborate.

"Yes, they have all been taken away. Although this time you have turned a disaster into a blessing, the inheritance of Houyi was also a life-and-death experience. It is natural that you feel unfair. However, not to mention the other three, Randeng's strength is above yours, and it will not be easy for you to kill him. Under Hunyuan, I will protect you from death, but I will not take the initiative to help you. After all, you have to walk your own path." said the Queen Mother Hou Tu.

"I understand, but I wonder if Your Majesty can stop the two saints from the West for me?" Ji Ren said.

"Of course, they are nothing as long as I am here." said Queen Hou Tu.

"Thank you, your Highness." Ji Ren said.

“Don’t thank me yet. I’m curious about how you are going to deal with Buddhism. You need to know that the fortune of the fairy world is also important to the gods, so Buddhism cannot be destroyed, at least not before the script of Journey to the West is finished.” said Queen Hou Tu.

"I know, so I will not touch the four continents and will just act according to the script. But in this world, besides the four continents, there are also four seas. In terms of area, the four seas are even more vast than the four continents. I want the Western Sea of ​​Buddhism. I have observed Houyi's life and found that in addition to the record of him ruling over thousands of ghosts, he also patrolled the world, sympathized with the people, and killed the evil demons. The demons in the Western Sea are also a target." Ji Ren said.

"You have already occupied most of the fortune of the South China Sea. If you take the West Sea, do you want to occupy the four seas?" Queen Hou Tu looked at Ji Ren and said.

“Yes, please help me, Madam.” Ji Ren said bluntly.

"It's okay, it's just a trivial matter. I said, your current identity is not a fairy in this fairy world, but the Sun-Shooting God of my Divine Court. Whatever you want, it will be possible. This fairy world is at your disposal. If you can finally take out the Dharma image of Fuxi, what's wrong with giving you this entire fairy world? But by then, I'm afraid you won't look down on this small fairy world." Queen Hou Tu chuckled.

"I understand, thank you, Your Majesty." Ji Ren said solemnly.

"Come with me. From now on, the underworld will be handed over to you. You can practice as you like." said the Queen Mother Hou Tu.

"Yes." Ji Ren immediately took the Moon Goddess with him and followed the Queen Mother Hou Tu to start his practice and governance in the underworld.

Because of some arrangements he made in the underworld in his early years, it was easy for him to interfere in the affairs of the underworld.

Start with the Soul-Suppressing General, who will first be in charge of the living beings that died in this calamity, and then take over the rest of the affairs in the underworld.

Of course, most of the creatures in the Three Realms only know that he is in charge of the Soul-Suppressing General and that he has the cooperation of Taiyi Savior of Sufferings, but they don’t know much about what happens later.

This is also a kind of protection that Hou Tu Niangniang gives to Ji Ren.

Although she was confident that she could protect Ji Ren in the underworld, Ji Ren was too famous, and the people from Jiejiao were really willing to risk their lives to assassinate him, so it would be difficult for her to deal with him, after all, Jiejiao was still needed for the Conferred God Tribulation.

Moreover, Ji Ren’s current strength is not enough to take over the entire underworld, so keeping a low profile for the time being will also help Ji Ren’s practice.

Therefore, although the sentient beings in the three realms were indignant, they did not react much.

Although he was shocked that Ji Ren had a relationship with Hou Tu Niangniang, being in charge of calming the souls was not an important job.

In this way, Ji Ren practiced diligently in the underworld and comprehended the art of archery.

Under the promotion of Yang Jian's Dharmakā, Houyi's Dharmakā cultivation also progressed rapidly.

In just twenty years, he reached the peak of Xuanxian. After Ji Ren's archery skills reached a higher level, he fought his way into the realm of Jinxian.

At the same time, the luck of the underworld, the South China Sea, and part of the North China Sea all converged on Ji Ren.

Ji Ren felt that he was only one opportunity away from becoming a Golden Immortal.

And this opportunity came one day when a drunk monkey went to the underworld and made a big fuss. He felt it had come!
