Since Taoist Hongjun started teaching Taoism in Zixiao Palace, Taoism has four direct disciples (Sanqing and Nuwa), two named disciples (Two Saints of the West), and nearly three thousand disciples (those who came to listen to the teachings) Innate gods and demons).
Among them, four direct disciples of Taozu and two named disciples, a total of six people, were all sanctified, known as the Six Saints of Heaven.
Among the nearly three thousand disciples, Donghuang Taiyi was extremely talented. He became a Taoist by beheading three corpses and entered the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. After that, Di Jun condensed the destiny of heaven into his body, and also entered the realm of Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
Except for these two people, none of the other disciples of Daozu became enlightened. But this does not mean that their strength is weak.
Among the nearly three thousand Taoist disciples, even the weakest ones have the cultivation of a quasi-sage. As for those who killed three corpses, jumped out of the river of time and space, and achieved the realm of great supernatural powers, there were hundreds of them.
There is no doubt that the first generation disciples of Xuanmen are not only extremely numerous, but each one is more terrifying than the last. It is such a huge force that has created the invincible situation of Xuanmen, and there is no force that can even compete with it.
However, having too many disciples and too strong might sometimes not be a good thing. There are so many powerful beings, and everyone has their own ideas. In addition, without the teacher's suppression, naturally they cannot all be of the same mind.
Therefore, like other forces, even if it is as strong as Xuanmen, it still has to face the problems of numerous internal hills. Xuanmen is in chaos, and even the opinions of the saints cannot be unified, let alone the opinions of other great supernatural beings.
Just like when it comes to dealing with Jiang Chen, there are huge differences within Xuanmen. Not to mention those with great magical powers who have long since gone to live in seclusion in the outer chaos, or who have left the ancient world, let’s talk about those people with great magical powers who are still in the ancient world.
Some of those with great supernatural powers believe that they should use thunderous methods on Jiang Chen and seal him with the power of Xuanmen until the human race is in trouble, and then let him out.
After all, Jiang Chen had made great contributions to Xuanmen. Even if some powerful people hated him, they would not tell him to die in front of everyone. If he really did this, wouldn't it be a shock to everyone in the world? heart of? Who will dare to do things for Xuanmen in the future?
Since killing is impossible, sealing is the best option.
The factions of the great supernatural powers who made this suggestion belong to the faction within Xuanmen that plans the fate of the human race. They had a grudge against Jiang Chen because of the human race's affairs, so they tried their best to move Jiang Chen away. They calculated that the biggest stumbling block on the human race's road was.
The other group of great supernatural beings, that is, those who live in seclusion in Dongsheng Shenzhou, maintain a neutral attitude towards this. No matter how others deal with Jiang Chen, it has nothing to do with them, and they neither support nor oppose it.
These people with great supernatural powers are not interested in the destiny of the human race. What they want is to turn Dongsheng China into a fairyland and replace it with the heavenly realm. In this way, they can gather the destiny of all heavens and worlds, and thus gain the opportunity to become Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal.
Before Jiang Chen's idea of reshaping the ancient world was exposed, not only would they not be Jiang Chen's enemies, they might even become his friends.
Of course, if Jiang Chen's plan is exposed, they may immediately become the enemies who most want Jiang Chen to die.
There are also some people with great supernatural powers who are on Jiang Chen's side. No, it shouldn't be said that they are on Jiang Chen's side, but that they are on the side of justice.
This group of people with great supernatural powers are extremely special in Xuanmen. They are true ascetic cultivators who do not compete with others and do not covet their luck.
Only when a catastrophe breaks out in heaven and earth, will they show up and perform acts of salvation. The rest of the time, they have been living in seclusion between heaven and earth, practicing silently, waiting for the moment when they can cultivate Hunyuan.
This group of people has their own persistence and truly inherits the ideas of Hongjun Daozu. They adhere to the right path, take justice as their heart, and do justice. It can be said that they are the mainstay of the righteous path and truly have the world in mind.
In the beginning, there were a lot of such great supernatural beings, but as time went by, most of them either went to live in seclusion in the outer chaos, or they completely left the wilderness and traveled far away from the chaos to find opportunities.
If not, the current prehistoric situation would never be like this.
Because they adhere to the right path, this group of people naturally cannot stand the behavior of their colleagues who seek to steal the fate of the human race, and believe that this is an unjust act that goes against the concept of the right path.
Therefore, the relationship between the two sides has always been bad, that is, the current prehistoric period cannot bear too many melee battles between the great supernatural powers, otherwise, the two sides would have started fighting long ago.
As for Jiang Chen's actions, whether it was destroying Buddhism or opening up the path of ghosts and immortals, they all greatly appreciated it.
Because Jiang Chen’s achievements are all real. Even those who hate him cannot deny his achievements.
The destruction of Buddhism allowed some of the luck lost by Taoism to return. Opening up the way of ghosts and immortals makes the Xuanmen immortal way more perfect.
Any one of these two things is better than many great magical powers in Xuanmen, let alone Jiang Chen completing two things by himself?
Jiang Chen has made great contributions to Xuanmen. How can those beings who care about the right path and Xuanmen not praise him highly? That is to say, this group of people is weak alone. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would already be the Immortal Emperor at this moment.
…
In addition to the above three major factions, Xuanmen also has some independent great supernatural powers, most of them are people with eccentric personalities.
For example, Patriarch Styx has a typical withdrawn personality and doesn't want to know anyone. Just like Zhen Yuanzi, he has a typical good-natured character who doesn't offend anyone.
There are also some fun-loving people who are typical spectators who don’t take things too seriously and often do things that provoke the three major factions.
Just like at this moment, the great magical person who asked everyone to go to the Netherworld to congratulate is a typical fun person. He knew clearly that there were many powerful practitioners in Xuanmen who were at odds with Jiang Chen, and he wished he could just ignore him. How could he possibly be willing to congratulate Jiang Chen?
But he also deliberately brought up the matter of letting everyone go over to congratulate him, which was obviously to create trouble for some people so that they could laugh at their jokes.
In other words, he was deliberately stirring up trouble to see if anyone would start a fight over it.
There is no lack of fun people everywhere, this is normal, the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, not to mention there are so many great supernatural beings in Xuanmen.
There are some who are hostile to Jiang Chen, some who ignore Jiang Chen, some who are optimistic about Jiang Chen, and some who are just watching the fun. They are all normal.
…
…………
"Indeed, when the ancestor of ghosts and immortals is born, we must go to congratulate him no matter what. Otherwise, if word spreads, it will be thought that we underestimate the way of ghosts and immortals, which is not beautiful."
Many people nodded and were about to leave for the Netherworld. In fact, this is also the thought of many Taoist practitioners.
Internal fighting is internal fighting, but on such a major matter related to the fundamentals of immortality, you can't be careless, because this is the bottom line.
Today you can ignore major issues related to the fundamentals of Immortal Dao for the sake of internal fighting, but will you directly sacrifice the interests of Immortal Dao tomorrow for the sake of internal fighting?
This is how the bottom line is destroyed step by step. Therefore, when it comes to the bottom line, no matter whether you want to or not, you cannot cross it.
Internal fighting is okay, but it must be limited to a certain range and cannot involve the fundamentals. Fighting will not lead to a solution. If it evolves into opposing for the sake of opposing, that would not be beautiful.
"Fellow Taoists, don't be anxious. The way of ghosts and immortals has only just appeared for the first time and has not yet been truly opened up. When it is truly born in the future, it will not be too late for you, fellow Taoists, to go and congratulate you."
Just as the great supernatural beings were preparing to leave, a burst of jade sound suddenly came from the chaos in the distant sky, causing everyone to stop.
This sound is...
Yuanshi Tianzun!
All those with great supernatural powers present were acquaintances of Yuanshi Tianzun, so how could they not recognize his voice? Even Yuanshi Tianzun has spoken, telling them that they don't need to go to the Netherworld to congratulate them, so do they still need to go?
Of course you don’t have to go!
After realizing that the person who spoke out was Yuanshi Tianzun, all the great supernatural power practitioners present understood that in the future, if the way of ghosts and immortals were to truly appear, there would be many complications.
There will definitely be nothing wrong with the Ghost Immortal Way, but it's hard to say whether the selection of the Ghost Immortal Ancestor will change.
Why did Yuanshi Tianzun stop everyone from going to the Netherworld to congratulate the ancestor of ghosts and immortals? Is it really because the way of ghosts and immortals has only just begun to appear and has not been truly developed yet? of course not.
Everyone present is a person with great supernatural powers, how could they believe such a ridiculous reason? Now that the way of ghosts and immortals has appeared, what's so difficult about really opening it up? Pulling out any quasi-sage at random can complete Jiang Chen's unfinished explanation of the ways of ghosts and immortals based on the existing foundation.
If it is not really developed, it will not affect anything at all. Anyway, as long as some time passes, Jiang Chen can always completely develop it.
Since it has no impact, why does Yuanshi Tianzun prevent the great supernatural power from going to the Nether Realm to congratulate Jiang Chen? The reason is very simple, they are afraid that Jiang Chen is the ancestor of ghosts and immortals.
If all the powerful practitioners of Xuanmen go to the Nether Realm to congratulate Jiang Chen, it means that they have recognized Jiang Chen's identity as the ancestor of ghosts and immortals, and this matter will be considered confirmed. In the future, even if someone finishes Jiang Chen's unfinished lecture on the ways of ghosts and immortals, his status will not be shaken.
Yuanshi Tianzun obviously didn't want to see this scene, so he stepped forward to stop everyone.
Why is Yuanshi Tianzun unwilling to confirm Jiang Chen’s identity as the ancestor of ghosts and immortals? Thinking more deeply, it is not difficult to see the purpose of Yuanshi Tianzun in connection with the rumors that the ancestor of the ghost immortal should be from his sect, which is obviously to intercept Hu.
As long as the way of ghosts and immortals has not been fully developed, there is a possibility of being intercepted. If someone can defeat Jiang Chen and complete the way of ghosts and immortals that Jiang Chen has not yet finished, then he can be defeated. Instead, he turned himself into the ancestor of ghosts and immortals.
Obviously, Yuanshi Tianzun planned to let his disciples go and start a Taoist struggle with Jiang Chen to regain the position of ancestor of ghosts and immortals that should have belonged to his disciples.
"Follow the sage's decree!"
Some people with great supernatural powers reacted very quickly. After guessing the purpose of Yuanshi Tianzun, they agreed directly without any hesitation.
If you take a closer look, it is not difficult to find that these people with great supernatural powers are all those who have a grudge against Jiang Chen because of the human race.
They originally didn't want to see Jiang Chen become the ancestor of ghost immortals, but they just didn't have a suitable reason to object. But now that Yuanshi Tianzun took the initiative to hand over the reason, it was too late for them to be happy, so how could they refuse?
The neutral supernatural power users did not express their stance, but not expressing their stance was the biggest expression of their stance. Obviously, they did not want to offend Yuanshi Tianzun for such a trivial matter.
"this……"
Those with great supernatural powers who adhere to the right path seem a little hesitant. They could guess the purpose of Yuanshi Tianzun, but they could not find any refutation of the reasons given by Yuanshi Tianzun.
If the way of ghosts and immortals is really opened up, then even if Yuanshi Tianzun says to break the sky, everyone will have to go.
But it's a pity that the way of ghosts and immortals has not been developed yet, but it has just been a concept, which means that everyone can go or not, it all depends on their own wishes.
People who have a good relationship with Jiang Chen want to go, and no one will stop them. But similarly, if people who don't have a good relationship with Jiang Chen don't want to go, then no one can force them to go.
"Why……"
"As a saint, after all, you can't just focus on your own gains and losses. You must also put heaven, earth and Xuanmen first!"
The person with great supernatural powers sighed, as if he was venting his grievances, or expressing his dissatisfaction with Yuanshi Tianzun.
In short, after saying these words, these great supernatural beings who adhered to the right path left this place together and went to the Netherworld to congratulate Jiang Chen.
How can those who adhere to the right path be afraid of power? Even if the saint is in front of them, they can't shake their will. In their opinion, Jiang Chen, who taught the way of ghosts and immortals, is the ancestor of ghosts and immortals. In this case, as a Xuanmen immortal, he must be present to congratulate him.
If the saint doesn't go, and others don't go, that's their dereliction of duty. What does it have to do with them?
As for whether they would be hated by Yuanshi Tianzun because of this matter, they didn't care at all. Not to mention dying because of sticking to the beliefs in your heart, it can be said that you die without regrets. Even if it is so vast, it is not a place where Yuanshi Tianzun can cover the sky with one hand.
If the saint could kill whoever he wanted, the Jiejiao sect would not be destroyed. When it comes to freedom, a saint is not as good as a person with great supernatural powers.
Watching this group of people leave silently, the remaining great powers were not surprised by this. What's so surprising? We have known each other for such a long time, and it can be said that we know each other's personalities very well. We all know what kind of things we will do on certain occasions.
Therefore, everyone is no exception to the choices made by these people. It is expected. If they did not do this, everyone would be surprised.
…
…………
Calm gradually returned to those with great supernatural powers, but in the distant chaos outside the sky, huge waves arose among the saints.
"You actually intervened in the affairs between the juniors. Senior brother, you really don't have any dignity at all."
In the chaos, the huge figure of Shangqing Sage appeared, and said in a sarcastic tone toward the other side of the chaos, in the direction of the Yuanshi Tianzun Taoist Temple.
