Lingxiao Palace.
The spiritual clouds are lingering, solemn and solemn.
Since the Three Immortals ascended, this place has become the absolute center of the Divine Continent.
The Emperor of Heaven sat on the throne, his gaze swept over the gods, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. The oath he made back then was finally fulfilled, and he truly took charge of the power of heaven.
The gods in the temple formed several sects, each of the three immortal sects formed one line, and the great sect and the imperial dynasty were divided into two groups. Later, the newly-confessed true gods of loose cultivators could also be counted as two groups because they held a group and fought among themselves.
The Emperor of Heaven only needs to be in the middle to mediate, and he can do anything.
With a slight hint in his eyes, Yu Chanzi, then the Minister of Rites and the first Sanxiu True God in charge of the first three departments, came out and said.
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report."
The Emperor of Heaven smiled and said: "My beloved, please speak."
Yuchanzi bowed and said, "I dare to ask, how old is your Majesty now?"
Buzz!
The majestic pressure appeared out of thin air, as heavy as a sacred mountain. Even the true gods couldn't help but feel horrified. The power of the Emperor of Heaven was far beyond that of ordinary true gods.
"Ai Qing, do you know what you are asking?"
"Your Majesty, there is a saying in mortal dynasties: A country cannot live without a king for a day!"
Yuchanzi said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's meritorious deeds in the Divine Continent are of course unprecedented. However, human life is limited, so preparations must be made early to avoid chaos in the heaven."
"I dare you to ask your Majesty to establish a crown prince!"
hiss!
The gods in the palace looked at Yuchanzi with admiration in their eyes. Even if they knew that this guy was a lackey of the Emperor of Heaven, they would still be bold enough to say this.
The Emperor's expression was as calm as ever, seemingly neither sad nor happy, but his pressure suddenly surged.
"I am now 3,600 years old and still have 1,400 years left to live. There is no need to discuss the matter of establishing a prince for the time being!"
Yuchanzi seemed to have lost his mind and said aggressively: "Thousands of years of life are fleeting. The prince will be in charge of Shenzhou in the future. How can thousands of threads be accomplished in one go?"
"After thousands of years of training, you can only be ready when you ascend the throne..."
"enough!"
The Emperor scolded and interrupted, and said coldly: "I will consider this matter myself. Do other beloved ladies have their own notes?"
The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel came out with a discerning eye: "Your Majesty, the number of newly-conferred righteous gods in Heaven in one hundred years is 1,700, which is an increase of 50% compared to the past hundred years, and the incense consumption has increased by 70%."
"This matter is related to the safety of Heaven, so please ask His Majesty to judge!"
The Emperor of Heaven pondered for a moment and said: "Abolish 50% of the Taoist temples, make the assessment more difficult for the remaining Taoist temples, and maintain the number of righteous gods in the thousands for a hundred years."
The True God of the Ministry of Punishment came out and said: "Your Majesty, this will definitely cause opposition from the immortal world."
"I learned that in recent years, many righteous gods in the world have relied on their power to make things easier for the sect, and many monks who have no immortal status have appeared!"
The Emperor of Heaven said: "This is a serious crime of annihilating a family. Please tell them, but just note it down for now."
"Follow the law."
The official minister suddenly realized that the sect had the right to speak in the world of immortal cultivation. As long as they did not dare to oppose the abolition of the Taoist temple, the remaining casual cultivators would not be able to do anything at all.
With a little guidance, you can change the direction of the wind!
Another Taoist true god came out and said, "Your Majesty, another reason for the sudden increase in true gods is that many of the people who entered the Taoist academy to study for exams have some cultivation."
Qi-refining monks have a photographic memory, and Ji-Building Masters can scan with their spiritual consciousness. Compared with ordinary people reciting sutras in Taoist temples, their learning efficiency is incomparable.
"Hmph, those sects are getting more and more excessive, always trying their best to find loopholes in the rules of heaven!"
The Emperor of Heaven snorted coldly. If Sun Changsheng had not made a big fuss in the Heavenly Court, he might have wiped out the sect long ago, and said: "We have made a new rule of heaven. People admitted to the Taoist Academy must not have any cultivation."
This matter may not seem to have much impact, but it is related to the foundation of heaven.
The sect colluded with the local righteous gods, recruited high-qualified disciples to practice, and then sent them to Taoist academies for examinations, and obtained immortal status and priesthood, and then came back to protect the sect.
As time goes by, the righteous gods at the middle and lower levels, who are completely disciples of the sect, will sooner or later come back to bite the heavens.
On the contrary, it also cuts off the promotion path for mortals, and the resentment caused is directed at the heaven. Maybe there will be a lucky child who fails the exam and flips the table!
The True God of the Taoist Academy said: "Your Majesty, how should the demon clan be selected?"
The Emperor of Heaven said: "Thousands of righteous gods for a hundred years will be directly allocated to the demon clan according to the number of eleven, and then awarded according to the results of the Taoist Academy."
"I will obey His Majesty's decree."
A few words from a few people determined the strategy of Shenzhou for hundreds of years to come, affecting the fate of countless people.
Some people may benefit and take advantage of the situation, or some old forces cannot keep up with the changes and decline.
The gods in the temple listened carefully and thought carefully in their hearts. Knowing the strategy in advance allowed many arrangements to be made, but no one who was short-sighted came out to object.
The things mentioned at the conference have already been discussed in the small meeting. They are announcements rather than discussions.
After saying these two things, Lei Bu Zhengshen came out again.
"Your Majesty, the number of demonic monks has spread far beyond the established number of tens of thousands. Do you want to clean them up on a large scale to uphold the majesty of heaven?"
In the past thousand years, when the incense in heaven was at its peak, it was not only enough for the cultivation of righteous gods, but also a large surplus, which was stored in the treasure house for emergencies.
The fundamental reason is that the demonic monks are causing trouble everywhere and making mortals fearful, so their faith is naturally devout.
Perhaps the foolish people can be taught a lesson, but it should be changed to the foolish people who should be taught a lesson!
"Before we clean up the demon cultivators, we should inform those demon gods first. If any of the disciples are reluctant to part with them, they can be spared."
The Emperor of Heaven nodded and said: "After all, we can't go too far in cooperating with the Heavenly Court..."
Before he finished speaking, a loud noise was heard.
Boom!
Lingxiao Palace swayed from side to side. Fortunately, there was a formation to restrain it. Otherwise, if a few bricks fell, it would be a disgrace to Heaven.
"what happened?"
The Emperor of Heaven frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see two figures bombarding the Heavenly Formation one by one.
One of them was Sun Changsheng, who used the magic stick to blast a hole in the formation.
The other one didn't know his name and didn't use his magic power. He broke through countless formation restrictions with the power of his fist alone.
"What is this monster monkey doing again?"
The Emperor of Heaven said angrily: "The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Thunder, and the Ministry of Taisui, join forces to capture the demon monkey to uphold the majesty of the heaven!"
"According to the order."
More than a dozen true gods bowed down to accept the order, but their faces were full of reluctance. They were thinking about how to deal with it for a few times and then came back to ask for help.
Outside heaven.
Sun Changsheng scratched his head and head excitedly and said with a smile.
"Junior brother, your strength is actually better than my grandson. The Wu Clan is really powerful!"
"Senior brother, you praise me."
Yang Xuan said: "According to what the witch god said, the witch clan of the same level is a hundred times more powerful than the immortal monks, but my senior brother is only 10% less powerful than me, which is extremely rare!"
One man and one monkey were boasting to each other about the gaping hole in the heaven, from which dozens of true gods flew out.
The leader of the Ministry of War had a smile on his face and a gentle tone: "Sun Dasheng, I wonder why you came to heaven today?"
"Hey hey hey, I'm not here to cause trouble."
Sun Changsheng said: "My junior brother's mother was imprisoned by your heavenly court. Today, I come to seek justice with my junior brother!"
"Junior brother?"
The Minister of War raised his brows, cupped his hands and said, "Fellow Taoist, I wonder who your mother is?"
Yang Xuan's strength is impressive. He can break the void with his strength alone, so he can naturally be regarded as a fellow Taoist.
"Zhao Yao!"
"Who are you……"
The Minister of War suddenly asked: "Yang Jin's son?"
Yang Xuan nodded and said: "Indeed, where is my mother? I haven't seen her for a thousand years and I miss her so much!"
The true gods immediately hesitated. If the two of them came to cause trouble, they would have to do it anyway to keep the face of heaven and the true gods. In the end, they were looking for their mother.
Regardless of legal principles, emotions, or strength, nothing should stop it!
"Fellow Taoist, wait a moment."
The Minister of War immediately summoned the Emperor of Heaven and asked what should be done.
"Hmph! Who dares to recognize me as a relative?"
The Emperor of Heaven replied coldly: "Send them away, thinking that there are extenuating circumstances, and we will not pursue the crime of destroying the formation!"
"??"
The Minister of War was puzzled as to why the always smooth Emperor could be so stubborn.
The person in front of me is comparable to a true god. Not to mention that he is already related by relatives. Even if he is not related, he still has to climb up to it. Isn’t there another powerful force in heaven!
What's more, it is not a trick to become a god. In the future, the strength will be further improved and Qingyun Mountain can be contained.
No matter how you thought about it, there were many benefits, but the Emperor's tone was harsh and he could not refuse. The Minister of War had to say solemnly.
"There is no such person in heaven, please retreat quickly!"
Yang Xuan frowned slightly and looked at Sun Changsheng, feeling something bad in his heart.
The Immortal and the Great Witch thought so quickly that they immediately noticed something strange. They agreed on the way here that they would save their mother first before causing trouble in heaven.
The reasons are of course easy to find, such as Zhao Yao was injured, or what are you worried about.
Yang Xuan sent a message: "Brother, what should we do?"
"Whatever, just follow the procedure!"
Sun Changsheng's magic power circulated, and the magic stick turned into a size of ten thousand feet, and smashed against the gods.
Yang Xuan's figure swayed, with arms on all sides, breaking through the void, and the next moment he appeared behind the Tai Sui God who was watching.
"Junior, how dare you!"
Tai Sui God shouted angrily in a deep voice, and the infinite divine light turned into a long river, instantly submerging Yang Xuan in it.
boom!
There was a loud noise, and the long river of divine light broke. Yang Xuan grabbed the divine light of Tai Sui God's body protection with both arms. It shattered with a squeeze of his palm, and the six arms instantly fired thousands of punches.
The Tai Sui God turned into flying ashes in an instant, and the incense power spread, and in an instant he jumped out intact.
"How can there be such physical cultivation in the world?"
Seeing this, the two true gods on the side did not dare to look down on Yang Xuan anymore. Their eyes met and they formed a three-talent formation with Tai Sui God, trying to suppress him together.
"True God, nothing more than that!"
Yang Xuan fought against the legendary existence for the first time, without any fear. Instead, he beat with the heart of the Witch God, which inspired the warlike nature of the Witch Clan.
"Look at the punch!"
Three gods and one witch, four figures entangled and fighting, regardless of top or bottom.
Next to him, Sun Changsheng was fighting one against ten, waving his magic stick, making the gods run away with their heads in their arms.
"Hehehe, 1,700 years have passed and they are still a bunch of losers!"
The True God of Heaven condensed the power of incense and will, and his strength became more and more profound. The Emperor of Heaven was not even weaker than the human immortal. However, compared with the growth of Sun Changsheng's mana, the speed was more than ten times slower.
call--
Sun Changsheng had enough fun, so he grabbed a handful of monkey hair and blew it out, turning it into 48,000 apes.
All the apes were wearing robes and holding magic weapons with long sticks. They gathered around Sun Changsheng and performed exactly the same stick techniques.
"Children, fight with Lao Sun to heaven!"
After that, the magic stick and the 48,000 magic soldiers blasted towards the heaven together.
Great sound!
The world was silent for a moment, and the true gods who were fighting with Yang Xuan stopped in shock. The bodies of the ten true gods were instantly shattered, and they could not stop the beating stick at all.
Buzz!
When the sound reached his ears, Yang Xuan felt severe pain in his eardrums. As soon as he thought about it, his ears disappeared.
But a black hole hundreds of miles in size appeared in the sky above the heaven. All formation restrictions within the range were turned into nothingness, and the ground below collapsed into a rift valley.
I don't know how many righteous gods were knocked out of their wits by this blow.
The formation that the Ministry of Engineering of Heaven spent thousands and seven hundred years setting up could not even block Sun Changsheng's strike, or it could be said that it blocked most of it, otherwise the entire area of thousands of miles would be turned into nothingness.
"Happy! So happy!"
Sun Changsheng opened his mouth and took a breath, transformed the languid ape clone into monkey hair again, and waved.
"Junior brother, let's go to Lingxiao Palace and have a look."
Yang Xuan glanced at the three true gods. They backed away to make way and couldn't help but admired them.
"Senior brother is so majestic!"
Sun Changsheng chuckled and said: "Just average, third in Shenzhou."
Yang Xuan said in surprise: "Who is the first?"
"Of course Master."
"What about the second one?"
"Of course it's Brother Niu!"
While they were talking, a man and a monkey came outside the Lingxiao Palace, and the Zhengshen on duty was so frightened that he fled in a hurry.
The salary given by heaven is not worth dying at all!
Sun Changsheng stepped in and looked at the Emperor of Heaven with a smile, as if he had been there thousands of years ago.
"Old Emperor of Heaven, my old grandson is here again!"
The Emperor of Heaven swept his eyes coldly and ignored the monkey. He looked at Yang Xuan for a moment and said, "Your mother is my direct grandson. She is practicing in Tianchi. Don't disturb her!"
Yang Xuan said: "I want to see my mother, and whoever stops me will be beaten to death!"
"Bold."
The Emperor of Heaven said angrily: "I am your ancestor. Without me, you would not exist. How dare you be so disrespectful!"
Yang Xuan didn't have any recognition or respect for Lao Shizi's ancestors, and said coldly: "If the ancestors stop me, then please ask the ancestors to ascend to heaven!"
"Okay, okay!"
Sun Changsheng clapped his hands in admiration, threw the magic stick, and directly lifted the roof of Lingxiao Palace.
"Emperor of Heaven, it's no use showing off your seniority. You'd better rely on your strength to speak for yourself. I'm going to beat you to the ground today!"
Yang Xuan's figure quickly expanded and turned into a hundred-foot giant, and he even stepped on the Emperor of Heaven.
"Why don't you let my senior brother take the seat of Emperor of Heaven?"
"court death!"
The Heavenly Emperor's divine power was operating, and nine layers of light appeared behind his head, blooming like a lotus.
The light wheel radiated the chanting sound of millions of hearts, exuding invisible and mysterious power. Yang Xuan, who was originally filled with rage, suddenly felt cool and cold in his soul.
"What an evil method!"
Sun Changsheng's eyes were red, and he shouted like thunder. After waking up Yang Xuan, he knocked the magic stick on the forehead of the Emperor of Heaven.
"Great Sage, stop it."
Seeing this, the gods in the temple joined forces to cast spells to stop him.
There was a conflict between the ancestors and the descendants. The gods wanted to watch the excitement and had confidence in the strength of the Emperor of Heaven, so they did not cast spells to stop it. However, Sun Changsheng could not stop it.
If you really beat the Emperor of Heaven to pieces, even if your life is not affected, it will bring shame to the Heavenly Court.
"Your strength is still far behind!"
Sun Changsheng saw more than forty true gods joining forces to cast spells. Instead of being afraid, he became more and more excited. With a slight shake, forty-eight thousand apes jumped out of his body.
"Take my stick!"
With the blessing of 48,000 apes, Sun Changsheng's magic power has reached 50% of that of the Buddha and the devil.
Before the magic stick fell, the mighty aftermath spread.
Thousands of miles of heaven are constantly shaking, the ground is cracked with cracks, and the blessing formation restrictions seem to be in vain under the magic power of human beings.
Seeing that heaven is about to be broken again, the gods will no longer hold back.
"Please suppress the demon tower!"
The sky cracked open, and a nine-story stone tower fell from it. It was simple and rough in shape. It seemed to have no mana fluctuations, but it easily calmed the turmoil in the heaven, and the demon-suppressing divine light fell down and enveloped the Lingxiao Palace.
Sun Changsheng only felt that the magic stick was as heavy as a stone, and he could not hit it down no matter what.
"Disciple Butian is so loyal that he sent the Demon Suppressing Tower to heaven, and he is not afraid of his ancestors coming down to earth to clean up the family!"
