When the Emperor Fuxi ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave and forever suppressed the fate of the human race, under the operation of heaven's will, the Earth Emperor Shennong was about to come to the world.
At the same time, in the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Hou Tu Zuwu flicked his finger, and one drop of the eight drops of essence and blood in the depths of the Six Paths of Reincarnation went towards the human path in the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Reincarnated as Emperor Fuxi, Jiang Heng needed him to transform into Fuxi Yuanshen so that he could successfully hide the truth from Heaven and Taoist ancestor Hongjun.
Reincarnation as the Earth Emperor Shennong does not need to be so complicated. It is naturally easy for Hou Tuzu Shaman to control the six paths of reincarnation.
It would take some time for Shennong's reincarnation to be born, but at this time, Saint Nuwa visited the Fire Cloud Cave.
His brother has successfully achieved enlightenment, achieved the status of emperor of the human race, and enjoyed boundless merits from the human race. It is natural for Saint Nuwa to come to congratulate him.
But Jiang Heng and Nuwa both knew that this Fuxi was not that Fuxi, so the visit of the saint Nuwa was not that simple.
When Sage Nuwa visited Huoyun Cave, Jiang Heng and Fu Xi naturally went out to welcome Sage Nuwa into Huoyun Cave.
Looking at Jiang Heng and Fu Xi in front of him, the expression on Saint Nuwa's face was quite subtle. After a long time, she said:
"Fellow Taoist, these methods are simply amazing. Even I can't see anything unusual!"
Although she reached a deal with Jiang Heng, Saint Nuwa had always been hesitant about Jiang Heng's transformation into Fuxi.
After all, in the face of the almost omnipotent Heaven, it is difficult for a saint to bully Heaven, not to mention that Jiang Heng is only a quasi-sage.
But the facts told Saint Nuwa that Jiang Heng's methods were indeed against the heavens. He transformed into Fuxi and became the emperor of the human race. He was able to deceive even the Heavenly Dao and the Taoist ancestors.
At this time, seeing Jiang Heng transformed into Fuxi, even though she was Fuxi's sister, Saint Nuwa could not see any flaws.
Because of this, Saint Nuwa's words of "fellow Taoist" meant that she was sincerely convinced, and she was already on an equal footing with Jiang Hengping.
Looking at the entire world, how many creatures can interact with saints on an equal footing? All saints are ants, so how can they be false?
"The Holy Mother is ridiculous! It's just some small tricks, but it will never wait until the grand hall! I wonder what the reason for the Holy Mother's visit is?" Jiang Heng said.
Sage Nuwa can take the initiative to have equal friendship with Jiang Heng, but a saint is a saint after all, and Jiang Heng will not be blindly arrogant because of this.
Moreover, Jiang Heng always maintained sufficient respect for the saint Nuwa. Just the fact that Nuwa created humans is the cause and effect that all human beings can never erase.
"I won't hide it from you, I am still here for my brother Fuxi's enlightenment!" Sage Nuwa said.
Although she had already reached a deal with Jiang Heng, Sage Nuwa actually still had some doubts about what Jiang Heng said.
It wasn't until Jiang Heng really hid the truth from Heaven and Taoist Hongjun, and transformed into Fuxi to achieve the Dao Fruit of the Human Emperor, that Saint Nuwa truly felt relieved.
This is normal, but without being able to witness Jiang Heng's abilities with his own eyes, how could Saint Nuwa let her brother Fuxi be in danger so easily.
"The Purple Qi of Hongmeng is the foundation of enlightenment. The Holy Mother should know this better than anyone else! With this treasure, what do the Holy Mother have to worry about?"
Jiang Heng naturally knew what Sage Nuwa had in mind, but the deal between him and Sage Nuwa had been completed, so how could he let go easily?
"It is true that Hongmeng Purple Qi is the foundation of sainthood, but if you want to become a saint, Hongmeng Purple Qi alone is not enough!" Saint Nuwa shook her head and said.
Sage Nuwa is naturally not without Taoist friends. If one can become a saint with the foundation of Hongmeng, the original Ancestor Hongyun would have become a saint long ago.
"It is indeed not enough. The road to becoming a saint is so difficult! I am also groping and I don't even know where the road is!" Jiang Heng sighed.
This sentence is not a lie. Although Jiang Heng has found a way out of countless possibilities in the future, this does not mean that Jiang Heng will be 100% successful.
If he is not careful, no matter how many plans Jiang Heng has, even if Jiang Heng has systematic help, he will still die.
Without him! Just because the opponent Jiang Heng faced was Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the supreme Dao of Heaven, how could there be so many easy opponents to deal with?
"Don't sell yourself to me. In our original transaction, you promised that you would do your best to help me make Fuxi enlightened!" Sage Nuwa said.
"Of course I remember this matter. Since the Virgin Mother mentioned this matter, I happen to have something to ask the Virgin Mother first!
Did the Holy Mother of God ever remember that the Taoist ancestor preached in the Zixiao Palace and accepted the current Six Saints as his disciples? Jiang Heng asked.
"Of course I remember! When you talk about this, is it related to Fuxi's enlightenment?" Saint Nuwa asked with some doubts.
"Of course there is some connection. The Holy Mother should remember that the Taoist ancestor accepted the Holy Mother and other six saints as his disciples, and each of them gave Hongmeng Purple Qi.
But why did the Dao Ancestor only accept six direct disciples, but there were seven ways of the Hongmeng Purple Qi? Jiang Heng asked.
"According to what the teacher said at the beginning, the Great Dao is fifty and the Tianyan is forty-nine! The seventh Hongmeng Purple Qi is exactly the one that escaped, so it should become a variable!" Sage Nuwa said.
"Variable! Heavenly Dao is supreme and controls the fate of all living beings. Does the Holy Mother really believe that Dao Ancestor will allow Yi to escape?" Jiang Heng said with a smile.
As soon as these words came out, Sage Nuwa also showed some doubts on her face. If you think about it carefully, there is indeed something unreasonable in it.
"Is there any explanation for the seventh Hongmeng Purple Qi?" Sage Nuwa asked again.
"The Holy Mother should have personally inspected it. There is nothing wrong with the seventh Hongmeng Purple Qi. If there is a problem, who can become a saint with it?
The Taoist ancestor once said that there should be six saints under the heaven, but now there are seven saints in the ancient world!
Has the Holy Mother ever thought about whether there is a limit to the number of saints? Is there only that much, or maybe more? Jiang Heng asked.
Sage Nuwa really didn't expect to hear such shocking words from the mouth of the human race in front of her.
The six saints had doubts about what Jiang Heng said. But because this was what the Taoist Patriarch said, the Six Sages did not dare to question it and could not question it.
But after Hou Tu Zuwu became the seventh saint under the heaven, the other six saints may have more doubts about the matter of becoming a saint.
It's a very simple reason. Since Tu Tu Zu Wu can break what Dao Zu Hongjun once said and become the seventh saint under the way of heaven, can others do the same?
The biggest reason why Saint Nuwa agreed to the deal with Jiang Heng was that Houtu Zuwu became the seventh saint under the law of heaven.
It was precisely because of the deviation in what Daozu Hongjun said that Saint Nuwa saw hope, the hope that his brother Fuxi would become a saint.
Just like Jiang Heng said, even if he becomes the emperor of the human race and enjoys the boundless luck of the human race, he is trapped in the Fire Cloud Cave after all. How can it be compared with becoming a saint?
"If you think about it carefully, there are indeed many unreasonable things about this matter, but the truth is not something we can pursue!" Sage Nuwa said.
"Then let us take a look at why the Virgin Mary and the other six saints were able to become saints. In other words, why it was the Virgin Mary and the other six saints who became saints!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.
Saint Nuwa was once again shocked by Jiang Heng's words. She had never thought about these things since she became a saint.
Logically speaking, when Taozu preached in Zixiao Palace, he was already in the realm of a saint. With the ability of a saint, it is not difficult to deduce the secrets of heaven.
Although there were many creatures who came to Zixiao Palace to listen to the teachings, Tao Ancestor must have already made a decision on which six should be accepted as disciples.
With the power of a saint, it is only a piece of cake to accept Nuwa and the other six saints as his direct disciples without leaving any trace.
In other words, before Taozu gave his sermon in Zixiao Palace, the positions of the Six Saints had actually been decided, and the rest was just a formality.
"Senior Brother Sanqing is the incarnation of Pangu Yuanshen. He possesses the merits of opening up the heavens and deserves to be a saint!" Saint Nuwa said.
"The prehistoric world was opened up by the Great God Pangu. The Three Pure Ones were transformed by Pangu Yuan Shen, and it is natural for them to achieve the status of saints!
Has the Holy Mother ever thought about whether the Sanqing saints could become saints on their own without the Taoist ancestor Hongjun? I’m afraid it’s possible! "Jiang Heng said.
Sage Nuwa nodded, Jiang Heng was right. In the prehistoric world, if the three pure beings cannot become saints, I'm afraid it will be even more impossible for other living beings.
"Then why can I become a saint? Is it because I created the human race?" Saint Nuwa asked doubtfully.
If we talk about qualifications, Sanqing is naturally above Saint Nuwa. Even Emperor Jun and Taiyi of the Demon Clan are above Nuwa in qualifications and background.
As for the creation of human beings, Sage Nuwa thought about it carefully. If she had been replaced by a Taoist disciple, she might not be able to create a human race.
But Taozu just accepted Saint Nuwa as his disciple. Is all this a coincidence, or is it already destined?
"There is no need to belittle oneself as the Holy Mother. In my opinion, it is inevitable that the Holy Mother can become a saint!" Jiang Heng said.
"Oh? What do you mean by this?" Saint Nuwa asked in confusion.
"Does the Holy Mother really think that anyone in the human race can create something? Looking at the powerful people of that time, who understood the way of life?
The Holy Mother is indeed a saint for creating the human race, but apart from the Holy Mother, no strong person can create the human race, not even Taozu! "
Jiang Heng's words were also carefully considered. When he embarked on the road to sainthood, Jiang Heng had carefully studied the path to sainthood of the Six Saints.
Rather than saying that Dao Patriarch Hongjun chose the current Six Saints, it is better that Dao Patriarch had to choose the current Six Saints and accept the Six Saints as his disciples.
Needless to say, there is no need to say more about the Three Purities. Even if there is no Taoist ancestor, it should not be difficult to become a Saint. At most, it is only a matter of time.
There seems to be nothing special about Sage Nuwa, but how could there be no reason why Taoist ancestor Hongjun chose Sage Nuwa?
Creating living beings seems simple. Even the leader of Styx could imitate the saint Nuwa and create the Asura clan.
But if you want to create creatures that conform to the general trend of heaven, only Sage Nuwa has this ability. Everything comes from the Tao that Sage Nuwa understood.
The road to life! Among the thousands of creatures in the ancient world, only the sage Nuwa understood this great way and cultivated it to the state of quasi-sage.
Only the Avenue of Life can create incredible creatures like the human race. Otherwise, how can the human race become the protagonist of the world?
As for the leader of the Styx, he was nothing more than Dong Shi. The Asura clan he created already had huge flaws.
Therefore, it was not becoming a direct disciple of Taoist Hongjun and being given the Hongmeng Purple Qi that enabled Saint Nuwa to become a saint.
But because of the way of life understood by Saint Nuwa, Heaven had to choose Saint Nuwa. This is inevitable.
"Then why were the two saints of the West able to become saints?" Saint Nuwa asked.
Since becoming a saint, Saint Nuwa has never had so many questions. The indifference that belongs to a saint has long been forgotten by her.
This is the case with many things. If you look at it from another angle, you will find a completely different world.
It was also because Jiang Heng knew the future development direction of the prehistoric world that he was able to guess some of the truth about the Six Saints' sanctification from the foregone conclusion of the future.
"The Two Saints of the West? According to Daozu, when he and Demon Patriarch Luohu competed for the opportunity to become a saint, they fought in the west.
As a result, the West was beaten to pieces, and the spiritual veins in various places were almost cut off. Daozu also owed the cause and effect of the West!
The Two Saints of the West are precisely the creatures born in the West. In order to repay the cause and effect, they made the Western Saints Zhunti and Gueyin become saints! "Jiang Heng said.
"Is it really just to repay the karma of the West?" Sage Nuwa asked with some uncertainty.
"If we really want to be honest, not everything Daozu said was false. When Zixiao Palace was preaching, Daozu Hongjun was already about to join the Tao.
To be in harmony with the Tao is to end all causes and effects, and to end the cause and effect in the West, only then can the Taoist ancestors be in harmony with the way of heaven without any distractions!
But the reason why Jieyin and Zhunti became enlightened was the key to their enlightenment. Western teachings are actually the best at educating all living beings! "Jiang Heng said.
If it is just for the purpose of solving the problem of cause and effect, there are many creatures on the Western land. The most outstanding ones are Jieyin and Zhunti, but it is not impossible for Daozu to choose other creatures.
The key lies in the Tao understood by Jie Ying and Zhunti. Western teachings do not seek this life but only cultivate the afterlife. This is really too suitable for educating all sentient beings.
Or to put it another way, the teachings of Western religions are actually particularly suitable for educating the human race, so how can they not be noticed by heaven?
Otherwise, during the eons of traveling westward in later generations, Buddhism spread eastward, and Western religion flourished, how could it be without reason?
Let’s look at the fact that after the Tribulation in Journey to the West, the strength of the human race was completely reduced and they were completely reduced to puppets under the will of heaven.
Therefore, the reason why the Six Saints are the Six Saints is because they have their own reasons for becoming saints, and it is not due to any coincidence.
"Then how can Hou Tu become a saint?" Saint Nuwa continued to ask.
"Houtu is the one who truly escaped. The reason why Hongmeng Purple Qi has seven paths is not without reason!" Jiang Heng said.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that God is impartial and selfless. Therefore, before Taoist ancestor Hongjun came together, the choices of heaven and earth were all in the direction that was beneficial to the prehistoric world.
According to Jiang Heng's guess, the seventh ray of Hongmeng Purple Qi should have belonged to the Hou Tu Ancestral Witch, and would help the Hou Tu Ancestral Witch to open up reincarnation.
The establishment of reincarnation is extremely important to the prehistoric world. Therefore, it is natural for Houtu Zusha to become an authentic saint and take charge of the six paths of reincarnation.
However, the way of heaven is selfless, but Dao Ancestor Hongjun may have selfish motives. The selfishness of Dao Ancestor Hongjun can be seen from the ownership of the seventh Hongmeng Purple Qi.
If you get the help of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, when Hou Tuzu's shaman body turns into reincarnation, you can immediately achieve the complete state of an authentic saint.
Without the Hongmeng Purple Qi, the reincarnation of Hou Tuzu's shaman body is the way to die. If he can retain a trace of his soul, it is considered a fluke among flukes.
When the Hou Tuzu Witch transformed into reincarnation, the reason why Jiang Heng did not hand over the Hongmeng Purple Qi to the Hou Tuzu Witch was actually very simple.
At that time, Dao Ancestor Hongjun had already merged with Tao, and Tian Dao had selfish motives from that moment on. Hong Meng Zi Qi was a disaster rather than a blessing to Hou Tu Ancestor Wu.
That's why Jiang Heng said that Hou Tuzu Wu was one of those who escaped, because the sanctification of Hou Tuzu Wu was not part of Daozu Hongjun's plan at all.
It's just because Daozu Hongjun couldn't bear the consequences of the collapse of the six paths of reincarnation after killing the Tuzu Witch.
In desperation, Daozu Hongjun could only make Hou Tuzu Witch the seventh saint under the way of heaven, and impose a series of restrictions on Hou Tuzu Witch.
Of course, these words related to Jiang Heng's deepest secret, which naturally could not be explained to Saint Nuwa.
"After saying so much, you still haven't told me how Fuxi should become enlightened!" Sage Nuwa said.
"Having said so much, I just want to tell the Holy Mother that the number of saints is not fixed, but that there can only be seven saints in the ancient world.
When the time is right, there will naturally be an opportunity for a new saint to be born. There is no need for the Holy Mother to be anxious! "Jiang Heng said.
"When is the opportunity for a new saint to be born!" Saint Nuwa asked reluctantly.
"Every time the heaven and earth measure calamity, there should be a living being who can become a saint, but the situation in the ancient world is a bit special..."
Only one creature can become a saint in every calamity of heaven and earth. This is a rule set by heaven, but now it has been completely broken.
When the heaven was opened to measure the calamity, the great god Pangu should have become a great saint, but for the sake of the prehistoric world, the great god Pangu chose to incarnate all things.
This legacy is attributed to Sanqing, and the saints of Dao Dao are infinitely higher than the saints of Tiandao.
Therefore, Sanqing can become a saint without going through calamities. This can also be regarded as Heaven's reward for Pangu's creation of the world.
The second calamity in the prehistoric world was the calamity of Long Han. Taoist Hongjun finally defeated the demon ancestor Luohu and achieved the status of a saint.
The third calamity in the prehistoric world was the calamity of the lich. This time, it was actually the saint Nuwa who should become enlightened.
Nuwa's creation of human beings is the general trend of heaven. Only when the human race appears, the general trend of heaven can move forward, and the current scenario of the great prosperity of the human race can be staged.
Zhunti and Jieyin were not supposed to become enlightened when the lich was measuring calamity. This can be seen from the fact that they established Western religions but failed to become saints.
Only when the gods are conferred and the calamity is measured can Jie Yin become a saint. When traveling to the west to measure calamity, Zhunti was able to achieve the status of a saint.
But who is it that these two saints, Jie Yin and Zhunti, were so weird that they actually came up with the idea of borrowing money to become a saint?
By making great aspirations, he actually borrowed boundless merit from heaven and became a saint in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, Jieyin and Zhunti were destined to become saints, and borrowing money to become saints was actually equivalent to advancing the time of their own sainthood.
The saint who received the lead became a saint one calamity ahead of schedule, and the saint who Zhunti became a saint two calamities ahead of schedule. This naturally required a huge price to be paid.
He must fulfill his great ambitions in order to repay the infinite karma owed to heaven. This is the price paid by the two saints Zhunti and Jieying.
If this were not the case, the two saints Zhunti and Jieying would not be so impatient to make the Western religion flourish.
If it wasn’t because they owed too much to heaven, if the two saints Zhunti and Jieying didn’t work hard, they would probably fall down from the holy status.
Based on this calculation, by the time of the next calamity of heaven and earth after the calamity of Journey to the West, there should be new creatures in the prehistoric world who will achieve the status of saints.
The sage makes a heroic move, the spark spreads the way to humanity, the world shares the same soil, the sun rises in the east, and sets off the catastrophe of the end of the gods!
This may have been the seventh saint under heaven, but all of this has changed a little with Hou Tuzu Wu becoming a saint.
There are already seven saints under the heaven, which also means that even after the journey to the west, two more calamities are still needed before a new saint can be born.
"So, after returning the medicine for four calamities, Fuxi can become a saint?" Saint Nuwa said.
"Of course this is not a given. There is another way to become a saint without going through calamity!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.
"What can I do?" Saint Nuwa asked quickly.
"Break the shackles of heaven and become a saint with your strength!" Jiang Heng said extremely seriously.
Saint Nuwa couldn't help but roll her eyes. She broke the shackles of heaven and became a saint with her strength. This was simply wishful thinking.
Throughout the world, only the great god Pangu who created the world was closest to this level, but the great god Pangu also failed in the end!
In today's prehistoric times, after the Taoist ancestors combined their bodies with the Tao, the Tao of Heaven has gradually been perfected and has begun to control the fate of all living beings.
Under such circumstances, do you still want to break the shackles of heaven and become a saint by force? Heaven will tell you in a minute what cruelty is.
Jiang Heng saw the white eyes of Saint Nuwa and didn't care at all. This path sounds a bit whimsical, but this is what Jiang Heng is doing now.
Even though the hope of success is extremely slim, Jiang Heng has no other choice, and heaven does not allow the emergence of a saint like Jiang Heng.
"Okay! That's it for today. I already understand what you said. After four calamities, you must not forget what you promised!"
Sage Nuwa took a deep look at Jiang Heng. Everything Jiang Heng said today really subverted her understanding of the ancient world.
After returning home, Saint Nuwa also had to think carefully about how she could make her brother Fuxi a saint without any hidden dangers.
Perhaps it would be a good choice to use Jiang Heng's method to transform Fuxi into a brand new creature so as to hide it from Heaven and Tao Ancestor.
Jiang Heng and he transformed into Fuxi and sent Saint Nuwa out of the Fire Cloud Cave. Looking at the disappearing figure of Saint Nuwa, Jiang Heng had an inexplicable look on his face.
What he said to Sage Nuwa just now was not Jiang Heng's impromptu idea. Compared with the Three Pure Ones, the Nuwa Saint is a special existence.
At this time, a seed was planted in the heart of Saint Nuwa, which will play an unexpected role at some point in the future.
Moreover, the fact that Saint Nuwa was a human mother forced Jiang Heng to treat Saint Nuwa differently.
"It's so difficult to achieve enlightenment through strength! It's time for the Earth Emperor Shennong to come to this world!"
The muttering voice only stayed in the Fire Cloud Cave.
