Siheyuan: Breaking up with Shazhu at the beginning

Although the old Taoist priest has an old face, his eyes are shining and he is in high spirits. He wears a fishtail crown in the shape of a Taiqing dragon's tail, holds a silver silk dust brush in his hand, and wears a Yin-Yang Bagua suit. His expression is calm and unperturbed, showing a natural and free-spirited aura both inside and out.

**Everyone on the stage immediately stood up and bowed to the Great Saint in a solemn and polite manner. Their words were in unison, full of reverence, "We respectfully wish the Great Saint endless blessings!"

At the same time, the Lord of Heaven and the Immortal King Yuanshi walked out of the gate of the Tongming Fairyland together. The Saint Jieying and the Saint Zhunti followed closely behind them, keeping a certain distance.

Four pagodas rose up at the same time to pay respect to the Great Purity Saint. \"I have met my senior brother."

"No unnecessary pleasantries.

"You're welcome."

After the saints bowed their heads in greeting, Saint Taiqing slowly stepped down from the tall and strong bull and politely returned a small bow.

Tianjun smiled and suggested: "Since our senior brother is here, we can start now. This is a meeting of the Heavenly Court."

Saint Taiqing simply nodded slightly in approval.

When Yuanshi Tianjun nodded and turned his gaze to the two saints of the Western sects, he calmly said: "My two disciples are important leaders of the Western Mega Church. They came here without receiving the order of the Heavenly Dao. It is also appropriate for you to be witnesses." Then he answered easily: "Since Senior Brother needs it, my answer will always be right."

On the other side, the saint who introduced the meeting expressed his approval by nodding.

Now, the three saints have each taken their seats, forming the basic structure of this meeting.

The Heavenly Lord first raised the topic: "Brother, what do you think about this matter? How should we deal with the human deification affairs arranged by God?"

The principle of the elder brother of the Saint Taiqing is that he usually seeks the opinions of others before expressing his views, but Yuanshi Tianjun calmly and objectively explained: "You only have one disciple, Xuandu, in your sect, so if you let him be on this list, it will lead to the people around you being left without anyone to serve you, after all, he is responsible for the task of human inheritance."

"Oh, I see."

After hearing this, the Great Qing Saint nodded slightly, and said in a gentle voice: "If you two agree, I will keep my **Xuan Du, but he can't be on the list."

After a brief moment, he continued to add: "However, since Xuandu is not on the list, the appointment of God has nothing to do with our human religion. The Conferred God Plan belongs to the two sects of the Exposition and **, so the people below should make their own decisions and don't have to bother me anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Saint Taiqing's eyelids drooped slightly, and he seemed to be lost in thought, as if he was really thinking about some problems.

On the platform below, a fairy boy named Yu Yuan could not help but look curiously at the powerful figure known as the Taiqing Saint, and cast a questioning look at his attitude towards this meeting.

Although the Tai Su Saint showed a non-confrontational attitude at that moment, as far as Yu Yuan knew, the Tai Su Saint did not sit idly by during the Tribulation of the Conferred Gods. He even personally intervened and took the initiative.

At the beginning, when the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, the Zhuxian Formation, and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation built by the Jiejiao were deployed one by one, the Saint Tai Su had already appeared and participated in them.

Soon after the Buddha Jie Yin had arranged the Zhu Xian formation, he took the initiative to investigate the situation in the formation and had an initial confrontation with Jie Yin. Then, he joined forces with Master Liang Yi and Jie Yin to attack the Zhu Xian formation.

Not only did he take action towards the Buddha, he also showed his strict side to the young ** without reservation.

Two of the eight young men from Jiejiao became his immediate targets, demonstrating that Saint Taisu also had a resolute spirit of practice in his pursuit of "inaction and purity", and was not as passive and inactive as the outside world believed.

At this moment, his speech seemed inappropriate for the occasion, because his words conveyed a key message: If Taiqing Zongxuan did not make the list, then the matter of deification would not be important to him.

Logically, as the leader of the three great saints and the head of Tongtian Sect, he should be in charge of such major events, but the current situation seems that he is turning a blind eye.

So, who should this power belong to? Obviously, the answer is obvious - this power falls into the hands of Yuqing Saint and Yuanshi Tianzun.

After Taiqing Sheng made clear his position, all the gods immediately turned to look at Yuanshi Tianzun. This noble man waved his hand lightly, and a rolled-up scroll appeared from the air, which immediately attracted the attention of all the gods present.

The peculiarity of the material used to construct this scroll is that it is neither ordinary paper, cloth, nor animal leather or bamboo products. It is actually a specific form that represents the laws of heaven and earth. To be precise, the Book of Conferred Gods is actually just the result of the specific manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth. This book symbolizes the basic principles of the operation of heaven and earth. In the combination of the five elements in the three realms, as long as their names are in the list, these individuals will naturally be pushed to their respective sacred positions to bear their due responsibilities.

At this moment, the book of conferred gods had not yet been opened, and the name was not listed. Yuanshi Tianzun's expression remained calm and steady, and his voice was firm and powerful:

"The natural laws of the universe tell us that there is always a time for prosperity and decline."

"It involves the stability and maintenance of order in the three realms and six major realms. It is urgent. There will be a total of 360 main gods on the list, plus 2,000 groups of deputy gods. They will take on management responsibilities together. This includes controlling wind, rain, thunder and lightning, plague, battles, star sequences, mountains and hills, dispatching rain, stimulating elements in the clouds, karma, good and evil, blessings and disasters, and other matters."

"I will be responsible for the task of deifying. If any of you are willing to be on the list and accept the selection, then when the deification is truly achieved, your rank will be raised by one level and you will obtain the corresponding position and power."

Before he finished speaking, dozens of figures stood up in the void, bowed respectfully, and their hearts were surging.

\"In front of the saint, I, the Chan Church ** Xiao Zhen, is willing to be included in the list of gods! \"

\"Report to the Saint, I, the monk Deng Hua of the Chan Society, am willing to join the Conferred God List!\"

\“…………\“

Li Yuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw that most of the dozens of people who stood up were disciples of the Chan Sect. Only a few people from the Jie Sect appeared, and they were all people who had practiced for a long time but had not lost their Taoist foundation.

Considering their superficial foundation, it is impossible for them to survive the Three Calamities, the Six Great Tribulations and achieve the Golden Immortal Realm.

Therefore, among the Jiejiao people, there were nearly a thousand of them, but only those with the lowest cultivation and shallow roots showed up. And among the Chanjiao people who came, more than half of them had come forward out of the total of more than thirty people.

In comparison, the difference between the two is obvious.

** Master Tongtian, who was sitting beside Zixiao Xiangyun's bed, couldn't help but frown slightly.

At this time, the saint from the west, Taoist Cihang, looked at him with a smile. He glanced at the leader, looked at the Supreme Xuanling and said, "Junior brother, your disciples are willing to sacrifice their own path of cultivation and volunteer to be engraved on the List of Gods when faced with maintaining the stability of the six paths and the universe. This shows that our Chan Sect truly has the good reputation of 'obeying the will of heaven to lead all things, guarding the eight wastelands, and leading all immortals'."

Hearing such praise, Shangzun still maintained an indifferent expression, but Tongtian Jiaozhu frowned and showed an unhappy look on his face.

This displeasure was not directed at the Supreme Lord, but was actually directed at the actions of Taoist Cihang.

The discussion among the various factions on that day was just an internal matter. It was inappropriate for a Western saint who was not chosen by the gods to come here without permission. Now he is actually interrupting and commenting, showing bias and suppression. Are he really so self-righteous that he cannot understand people's hearts?

At this time, Xuanling Supreme asked calmly, "Are there only so many volunteers?"

At the same time, he lowered his eyes and looked at the figures of the immortals below.

Many members of the Jiejiao sect lowered their heads to avoid looking into his eyes.

On the contrary, Guangchengzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals, Chijingzi and other scholars of the Chan school all stood up.

"Reporting to the Master, we are eager to make our contribution to protecting the world!"

"As your disciple, it is my duty to maintain the order of the six realms and the harmony of the universe... I voluntarily devote myself to the sacred duty of heaven!"

"Now that the order from Zixiao Palace has been issued, we must not make things difficult for you again!"

……

Seeing that even those students taught by the Twelve Golden Immortals who were deeply skilled in Taoism had taken the initiative to "get on the list", everyone looked at each other, finding it hard to believe what they were seeing.

Are they crazy?

Are they really so determined that they are willing to give up their own path of cultivation?

Among the many members of the Jiejiao sect, the one who was most surprised by this scene was the Qiushou Immortal, one of the seven great immortals.

At this moment, the man's eyes widened and turned around naturally, looking at Yu Yuan who was sitting cross-legged behind the Golden Spirit Mother.

He had heard about such a scene when his nephew mentioned it!

At first, he couldn't believe the situation and swore that it would never happen.

The Twelve Golden Immortals are all disciples of the Daluo Golden Immortal. All of them have immense magical powers and are top-notch beings without exception. How could they possibly abandon their own cultivation?

But he didn't expect that this moment would actually happen in front of everyone's eyes!

Then I thought of the "power of enfeoffment" mentioned by my nephew. Is it really possible that the great men of the Chan Sect used this thing to exert their power?

While he was shocked, many disciples of the Jiejiao sect had already stood up and actively participated in the selection.

"Since all the immortals of the Chan Sect are willing to take the risk and stand up to compete for the throne, how can we, the Jie Sect, be willing to fall behind?"

"What the Xianlu of the Chan Sect said is indeed true. This time, the Conferred God Movement is to maintain the stability of the entire Qiankun world. As followers of the Great Teacher, we should contribute to stabilizing the Qiankun world!"

"The event of deifying the gods is unstoppable. We must not make things difficult for our master."

"..."

As more and more disciples of the Jiejiao sect stood up one after another, the sage Tongtian, who was sitting cross-legged on a high place, could not help but sigh softly.
