In mythology, the underworld is in charge of the reincarnation of life and death, and the heaven is divided into the righteous gods of the heaven. However, there is a type of immortals in the heaven who are not popular at all, and that is the gods of the earth, the mountain god, and the river god. Although they belong to the heaven, But they are not popular at all, and most of them are mountain spirits and ghosts with extremely low status. In "Journey to the West", they are simply minions who can be bullied by anyone, and heaven has never cared about their life and death.
But strictly speaking, these earth and mountain gods are all earth immortals. Zhen Yuanzi will be called the ancestor of earth immortals in the future. Logically speaking, they should be under the control of Zhen Yuanzi instead of being canonized by heaven. There are a total of 300 canonized gods on the list. The sixty-five heavenly gods are in charge of the stars in the sky, but the gods of land and mountains are not among them. They are just canonized by heaven to manage the prehistoric times.
But it would be different if there were Zhen Yuanzi’s Book of the Earth. Using the Book of the Earth to enshrine the immortals of the prehistoric times and form a force that could compete with heaven and the underworld, many casual cultivators in the prehistoric times would surely join in, and as gods of the land and mountains, Being like an Earth Immortal, managing the water flow in the mountains and wild lands is a good thing that can gain long-term merit and incense.
If this can be done, Zhen Yuanzi can be regarded as the true ancestor of the Earth Immortal, enjoy the luck of the Earth Immortal lineage, understand the law, and have great hope of realizing Hunyuan. It is precisely because of this hope that Ming Ming Hecai asked Taoist Qiankun to come here to discuss with Zhen Yuanzi.
Minghe is weak on his own. Even if all three corpses are killed, and all the righteous Hunyuan are killed, there are still only four Hunyuan warriors. And if you want to reach this point, you don't know how much time it will take. Now that the first battle of the Lich is over, There has been a truce for ten thousand years. During these ten thousand years, I am afraid that it will be the time for the Six Saints to appear together.
At present, among the two corpses of Styx and the Good and Evil Corpses, only the Evil Corpse Honglian Taoist has the hope of quickly realizing the Hunyuan Dao. Styx and the Good Corpse Qiankun Taoist are still far behind, so he needs allies, reliable allies, to suppress Motoko is the first ally he looks for. He has foundation, opportunity, and wisdom, and is the best choice for an ally.
As for Hongyun, Styx is not very optimistic about him. If he could decisively abandon Hongmeng Ziqi, Styx would be impressed by him, but unfortunately he didn't. Although what Hongyun did after that was still in Styx's taste, But it is still a little bit behind. If there is no chance of reaching the sky in the future, I am afraid that Hongyun will be able to reach the quasi-sage peak at most.
After listening to Taoist Qiankun's words, Zhen Yuanzi looked thoughtful, and Taoist Qiankun continued: "Fellow Taoist Zhen Yuanzi, what do you think of the two races of lichs?" Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi replied: "Liches. They are all powerful and want to compete for the position of the Lord of Heaven and Earth. In this battle, the Witch Clan has the upper hand. If Tao Ancestor hadn't stopped them, the Demon Clan would have been destroyed."
Zhen Yuanzi continued: "If the demon clan doesn't have a way to deal with Pangu's true form, the demon clan may be wiped out after ten thousand years. Of course, if Nuwa becomes a saint within ten thousand years, the situation will be different. Lich There will be a balance between them."
Taoist Qiankun nodded, Zhen Yuanzi was very insightful, and said: "My Taoist friend's insight is very unique, but my Taoist friend seems to have forgotten that the demon clan Nuwa is not the only one who can become a saint. Sanqing, Jie Yin He and Zhunti also have the foundation of the Great Dao. If they become saints, how can they allow any of the lichs to become the lord of heaven and earth."
Taoist Qiankun said, Zhen Yuanzi was shocked. If this was true, the Demon Clan could not stop the other five people with Nuwa alone. And although the Wu Clan had Pangu's true body, it might not be able to stop the saints. So this time In the calamity, the fate of the two tribes of lich and witches may be the same as that of the three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn.
How could Zhen Yuanzi not be shocked when he came to such a conclusion? In this way, Ming He asked Taoist Shanshi Qiankun to come here this time, probably because he wanted to unite with him, and he should have determined that he was after reading the book on the ground. This decision was made only with the hope of enlightening Hunyuan.
If according to this calculation, Minghe decided to join forces with him only after he was sure that Zhen Yuanzi had the hope of realizing Hunyuan, then Minghe's criteria for selecting allies should at least be strong men who are expected to realize Hunyuan, and Minghe may have already He found his own way to prove Hunyuan, but he didn't know whether it was before or after he obtained the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
There is a big difference between before and after. One relies on oneself, and the other relies on Hongmeng Ziqi. Although they both have achieved Hunyuan, who knows the difference. If it is the former, I am afraid that Styx's plan is not small, otherwise it will He won't come to win over Zhen Yuanzi.
Taoist Qiankun saw that Zhen Yuanzi was deep in thought and did not continue to speak. Zhen Yuanzi was no ordinary person. If the Six Saints came out together, Styx really needed allies. Now it only depends on how Zhen Yuanzi chooses. Even if Zhen Yuanzi refuses, With today's good fortune, this town Yuanzi will not deal with Styx with others in the future.
Zhen Yuanzi pondered for a long time, and then he said: "Pindao already knows the intention of fellow Taoist coming here. If we can really achieve the realization of Hunyuan as fellow Taoist said, I am willing to advance and retreat together with fellow Taoist." Zhen Yuanzi said. It was a pleasure to speak out, but he didn't say enough. The condition for advancing and retreating together was that he could obtain Hunyuan. Otherwise, if he participated in Hunyuan with quasi-sage strength, he would definitely die.
Taoist Qiankun naturally understands the meaning of Zhen Yuanzi's words. This is human nature, so he naturally has no objection. "Okay, fellow Taoist, be happy. I would like to wish fellow Taoist that you can realize Hunyuan as soon as possible." Today's appointment is considered. It's a good ending to settle on this.
Taoist Qiankun continued: "In this case, the great gift I have prepared for fellow Taoist monks is for fellow Taoist Hongyun. Fellow Taoist Hongyun's foundation was seriously damaged this time. Even with the Sanguang Shen Shui and the woody essence of the ginseng fruit tree, Even if the Qi is nourished, it may be difficult to recover.”
What Taoist Qiankun said hit home Zhen Yuanzi's worries. He had already checked the status of Hongyun's remnant soul before. As Taoist Qiankun said, it is almost impossible to fully recover. However, listening to Taoist Qiankun's words, Styx seems to have a way. Zhen Yuanzi hurriedly asked: "I wonder what fellow Taoist Minghe can do?" It was about his friend Hongyun, so why wasn't Zhen Yuanzi excited
Taoist Qiankun said with a smile: "I said that the time has not come yet, all you have to do is cultivate Hongyun Yuan Shen. When the time comes, I will come and notify you." Zhen Yuanzi nodded, I am afraid this is also an opportunity. Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi agreed to Styx's invitation, he sent it out.
Seeing that the trip was a success, Taoist Qiankun was about to stand up and say goodbye. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he said: "Fellow Taoist Zhen Yuanzi, I have finished talking about my affairs, but I still have something to ask for. I want to Can I trade some Sanguang Shenshui with my fellow Taoist for a ginseng fruit tree branch?"
When Zhen Yuanzi heard this, he said: "Since Taoist friend has spoken, I will not be stingy." He turned around and went to the backyard to take a branch of the ginseng fruit tree. Although it would damage the source of the spiritual root, it was nourished by the Three Lights Divine Water. , it can still be recovered, so he agreed.
After getting a branch of the ginseng fruit tree, Taoist Qiankun said goodbye to Zhen Yuanzi and got up to return to the Sea of Blood. With this branch of the ginseng fruit tree, the Styx River was enough to grow a ginseng fruit tree, although it was not as good as the one of Zhen Yuanzi. , but it won’t be much worse.
It's not that Styx is greedy for ginseng fruit. Although ginseng fruit is good, at Styx's level, it can only satisfy the desires of the mouth and tongue, and it has no effect on cultivation. Moreover, it is not Styx's idea to obtain the branches of the human fruit tree. , but Taoist Qiankun made it up temporarily, and naturally he had his reasons.
Seeing the Styx River and the Evil Corpse Honglian, Taoist priest has already found the way to realize the Hunyuan. In comparison, Taoist Qiankun is the one farthest from the way to Hunyuan. Naturally, he has to start planning his own way to realize the Tao. , at this time, he had already refined the Dinghai Divine Pearl, the Five Elements Spiritual Pearl, and the Four Elephant Spiritual Pearls, but he had not yet integrated them into the world of Qiankun.
Returning to the Blood Sea this time, Taoist Qiankun will also officially start his own practice on the road to enlightenment. This ginseng fruit tree is one of the links. Of course, in addition, he also needs the Bodhi tree corresponding to Gengjin in the west and Renshui in the north. The flat peach tree and the support wood of Binghuo in the south, plus the yellow plum in the central Wu soil that he already has, can complete the five elements.
For the three poor spiritual roots, the peach tree should be in the hands of Hongjun, the Bodhi tree should be in the hands of the two people in the west, and the hibiscus tree should be in the hands of Di Jun. I am afraid that it cannot be obtained for the time being. I can only make plans in the future. Fortunately, Styx has been there in these years. I have collected a lot of spiritual roots and can temporarily replace them.
