Although Tongtian Patriarch was defeated by Laojun during the Conferred God List, it was because he fell into the trap of Taishang Laojun. If it was a one-on-one fight, Laojun would not be able to defeat Tongtian Patriarch. Moreover, Tongtian Patriarch was deeply loved by Hongjun Patriarch, who secretly gave him magical skills, and his cultivation was incomparable.
The Supreme Lord was also surprised when he saw the four swords of Zhuxian falling from the sky. After all, the four swords of Zhuxian were the treasures of the heaven. The ancestor Hongjun gave the four swords of Zhuxian to Tongtian in order to maintain the justice of the heaven.
Although the Master Tongtian did not inject the fatal aura into it, Laojun was exhausted from dealing with it and had no idea what to do.
Tongtian used his unique skills, like an old man playing with a naughty boy, and fought Laojun to a draw. After all, the origin of the Four Swords of Zhuxian was extraordinary, and they were ancient artifacts bestowed by the ancestor Hongjun. The Four Swords of Zhuxian had been tempered for many years in the hands of Tongtian, and the murderous aura of the six paths was injected into them. Using the Danshu bestowed by the ancestor Hongjun, the magic sword was integrated into himself, and the chaotic body and mind were controlled, shocking all directions.
The Taishang Laojun originally placed the Conferred God List on the map of mountains, rivers, and states, and used the crutch and the mysterious energy to control the three realms and six paths. But the sudden appearance of the Four Swords of Zhuxian blocked the way, disrupting Laojun's plan. Although Laojun wanted to resist, he was powerless.
Although Tongtian Jiaozhu ranked third in the Three Realms, his cultivation was unparalleled. If he did not have such a strong force, he would have been wiped out by Laojun and Yuanshi Tianzun long ago. After all, the cultivators under Tongtian Jiaozhu were a mixture of humans and beasts, which was different from the majestic figures of the Human Sect and the Explanation Sect.
The Taishang Laojun saw that the mysterious aura was split by Tongtian Jiaozhu, and the righteous aura of the world poured into it. His own mysterious aura was diluted a lot. The world also seemed more colorful. Although Tongtian Jiaozhu did nothing wrong, he also received a trace of resentment from the Laojun.
Faced with such a powerful opponent, Laojun could only go with the flow.
The Taishang Laojun was talking with Tongtian Jiaozhu when suddenly the restriction of the Eight Scenery Palace was broken by the cold and murderous aura, and a group of people rushed in, which made the Laojun unexpected. After all, the restriction of the Eight Scenery Palace was not something that ordinary people could break. It was also the result of Tongtian Jiaozhu's four swords that made Wu Yugang and his people come here to take advantage of the victory.
Tongtian Patriarch sat alone, ignoring what was happening in front of him. This was in line with the principle of host and guest. After all, Tongtian Patriarch could not take over the main position in the Bajing Palace. However, the unparalleled righteousness of Wu Yugang, Xiang Yu and the others made Tongtian Patriarch secretly admire them. After all, it is difficult to find such upright people in this world.
Xiang Yu said, "Laojun, I'm sure you know my thousand years of suffering. For more than two thousand years, I have been trapped in the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's mantra to subdue demons. However, this mantra has also allowed me to see through the mysteries of the three realms."
Although Taishang Laojun had already seen that Xiang Yu had removed the curse and his cultivation had improved a lot compared to before, this powerful opponent was also a big threat to Taishang Laojun.
"This is God's will for you. If you didn't have the magic spell to subdue demons, you would not be able to see through the affairs of the three realms and six paths. This will allow you to transcend the mortal world. In this way, you can achieve perfect merit and no longer be entangled by the six paths of reincarnation." Although Taishang Laojun knew about Xiang Yu's injustice, he was also eloquent and cleared himself of the blame.
Xiang Yu was extremely powerful, although he was later harmed by Liu Bang and Zhang Liang's treacherous schemes. However, Xiang Yu's Shura body could only be saved by this. Qin Shihuang, who had penetrated the mysteries of heaven and could communicate with gods, had already violated the rules of heaven, so he needed someone like Xiang Yu to destroy him.
The old man knew the reason, but he did not reveal the secret. Although Xiang Yu was killed by a treacherous plot, he often appeared in the world, but he had no place to complain about the injustice of heaven. Therefore, he was called the King of Angry in the world. However, this King of Angry was not conferred by the heaven, but because of Xiang Yu's reputation, the gods did not dare to impose it on others.
Yang Chenguang, as Xiang Yu's disciple, did not shy away from the responsibility and said loudly: "You old man, you are too rude. Can the blame of the heaven be completely shifted by a single word of God's will? I was originally a child who was not in the five elements, but I suffered such a disaster. Could this also be God's will?"
Although Yang Chenguang was young, he was well versed in the principles of the human world. His words were very sure and beyond doubt. Such a dagger-like question made the Taishang Laojun laugh.
The Supreme Lord said to Yang Chenguang, "Hahaha, boy, you were originally the sweeping boy sitting under me. Because you stole the Nine Transformations Golden Pill, you were punished to go down to the lower world. This is also a punishment for you. Now it is time to come back, but you still need to go through the trials of the world. Even if you have endured the punishment of the five gates and eight barriers when you went down to the lower world, your fate is not over yet."
After hearing the words of Taishang Laojun, Yang Chenguang couldn't help but spit out his snake head. It turned out that he had such a past and present life. No wonder no one in the underworld dared to touch him.
Wu Yugang couldn't stand it any longer, after all, he was the reincarnation of the Dragon Prince. If there was justice in the heaven, the old Dragon King would not have imprisoned him in the Dragon Palace.
Yang Chenguang was a child and could be easily deceived, but Wu Yugang was not so easily deceived. As a disciple of the Eight Immortals, as a disciple of the Sword Immortal Lü Dongbin, and as a disciple of the Celestial Immortal School, Wu Yugang had long seen through the deception. After all, the Eight Immortals achieved their immortality by deceiving the world. All kinds of sleight of hand and deception were no problem for them.
Although the Eight Immortals achieved the way of the gods through the art of deception, in the three realms, there is truth and falsehood, reality and illusion. In the face of the fact that it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, the Eight Immortals' way of cultivation is concise and to the point, allowing people to experience the true meaning of the world in the midst of deception. The true meaning of the world can only be seen at a glance in this distinction between truth and falsehood. I think the Eight Immortals are also gods with noble morals.
Wu Yugang said loudly: "Laojun, could it be that the will of heaven is justice?" (To be continued)
