After Master Yuding finished speaking, God Haotian said: "Although Yang Miaojun died, it was not enough to offset the sins he committed. He will need to be reincarnated for ten lives to atone for the crimes he committed." Although Master Yuding was angry, he was unwilling. God Haotian offended him too much and had to agree to let Yang Miaojun reincarnate for ten lives before sending him to the mountain gate.
After Master Yuding finished handling Yang Miaojun's matter, he flew to Huangquan to send Yang Miaojun to reincarnation, and then returned to Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain to wait for Yang Miaojun to be reincarnated for ten lives before ferrying him to the mountain gate. Master Yuding didn't know that his actions today made God Haotian extremely dissatisfied and laid the foundation for the Battle of the Gods.
Not to mention that Master Yuding sent Yang Miaojun to the mountain gate to practice again after he became Yang Jian in his tenth reincarnation.
But it was said that God Haotian thought after Master Yuding left: "I am appointed as the Emperor of Heaven by Hongjun Talisman, but I can't restrain the disciples of the two sects of interpretation and interpretation. Even though I have lost face like this today, I still can't take advantage of Master Yuding." It's extremely inconvenient for me not to have great supernatural powers. It's better to go to Zixiao Palace and ask Taozu to order the disciples of the second sect to obey me."
Thinking of this, God Haotian took off his dragon robe, put on his Taoist robe and walked towards Zixiao Palace. Not long after, they reached the edge of chaos. God Haotian spread out his protective divine light and flew towards Zixiao Palace. If others have not reached the realm of saints, they will not be able to find the location of the Zixiao Palace. However, the Haotian God is the son of the Hongjun Taoist Ancestor and has lived in the Zixiao Palace for countless years, but it is not difficult to find the location of the Zixiao Palace. God Haotian carefully avoided the earth, water, fire, and wind that had been churning ever since the beginning of Pangu and came to the Zixiao Palace.
God Haotian straightened his clothes, knelt in front of the palace gate and kowtowed: "Disciple Haotian, please see the Taoist Patriarch." After a long time, he heard a vague voice coming from the palace: "Haotian, why are you here?"
God Haotian raised his head and replied: "The disciples were ordered by the Dao Ancestor to form the Heavenly Court, but the manpower at hand is not enough to reflect the majesty of the Heavenly Court and cannot restrain the monks in prehistoric times. I am here to inform the ancestor. I hope the Dao Ancestor can make people, interpret, and intercept the disciples of the three religions. Take my orders."
Just listen to Daozu Hongjun say: "I already know this matter, you go first. I will handle it myself." After that, he stopped talking.
Seeing that Daozu had stopped talking, God Haotian flew back to heaven on the clouds.
After the Haotian God left, Taoist Hongjun sent out three jade talismans and flew towards the location of Sanqing.
Not long after, all three Qing Dynasties received a message from the Taoist Patriarch, and they all stopped preaching and rode in the clouds to the Zixiao Palace to listen to the Taoist Patriarch's decree.
Daozu Hongjun waited for the three Qings to come together and said: "This time I have invited three of your brothers and sisters to come here only for three things. One thing is that Haotian just came here to see me and said that there is no one in heaven who is not good at managing the living beings in the three realms. Let me order people." The disciples of the three sects, Chan and Jie, obeyed him. The second was that the disciples of the Chan sect violated the precept of killing.
When Sanqing heard this, they were all stunned. They all hated Haotian for being troublesome.
However, Hongjun continued to say: "The gods are divided into three categories. Those with deep roots will become immortals; those with slightly deeper roots will become divine ones; those with shallow roots will become human beings and still suffer the calamity of reincarnation." After saying this, he walked away from his arms. He took out a scroll and hung it in front of Zixiao Palace and said, "After discussion, your three brothers will fill in the name of the disciple on it."
Taishang Laojun asked: "Teacher, I don't know how many people are needed to be on the list of gods?"
Hongjun replied: "The gods are divided into eight righteous gods, each of which is divided into three hundred and sixty-five."
Taishang Laojun asked again: "How many disciples of Ren, Chan, and Jie are on the list? And how to fill in the list?"
Hongjun said: "The three of you will decide on the list of disciples of each sect after discussion. The three of you are in charge of the three sects. Laozi will fill in the original name of the disciple of the Chan sect, fill in the name of the disciple of the Jie sect, and fill in the name of the disciple of Tongtian. After discussion and decision, we will Just use magic power to write the disciple's name on the list of gods. "After saying that, he will disappear.
When the three saints saw that the teacher had left, they wanted to discuss the people on the list, but they didn't know how to speak.
In the end, it was Yuanshi Tianzun who spoke: "My sect Antarctic Yun Zhenzi Guangchengzi Red Jingzhen Huanglong Zhenren feared to stay Sun Taiyi Zhenren Lingbao** Master Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun Puxian Zhenzhen Cihang Taoist Yuding Zhenzhen Daoxing Tianzun Qingxu moral Zhenjunjun He is a man of high moral character but he should not be on the list. Grand Master Xuandu is also a man of moral character and should not be on the list. "
After a pause, he said: "Junior brother's disciples only practice magic power and do not cultivate virtue. They deserve to be on the list."
The leader of Tongtian Cult said with a smile: "Since the beginning of the world, my eldest disciple Qingxu has guided Nuwa to create humans and assisted Nuwa in repairing the sky. During the battle between the lich and the witches, he protected thousands of living beings in Nanzhan Continent and served as the master of the three emperors of heaven, earth, and people. Should Wuliang be on the list? "
Yuanshi Tianzun was in trouble. His face was full of embarrassment and he didn't know how to reply.
Lao Tzu said: "Qingxu, who is the teacher of the Three Emperors and assists me in educating all peoples, has great merits and virtues and should not be on the list."
The three saints were speechless again.
When I saw no one speak, I added: "To become a god is a major event for the three religions and cannot be decided in a hurry. I will wait until the three merchants can decide on the candidate."
Yuanshi Tianzun heard the words and said: "That's right." After saying this, the three pures left the clouds.
Among the Three Purities, apart from Taishang Laojun, there is only Master Xuandu, a disciple who is destined not to be on the list. You don't need to worry. In addition, both the original Tianzun and the Tongtian leader have many disciples. The Tongtian leader is also known as the Ten Thousand Immortals and has countless disciples.
The matter of canonizing gods is related to the luck of the sect. Both saints are extremely troubled by how to prevent their own disciples from being listed on the list and send the disciples of the other party to the list of canonized gods to preserve the vitality of their sect.
At this time, Dayu was already in the human world. The battle to clear Xu Si and the Conferment of Gods was about to come. With his current Taoist practice equivalent to beheading two corpses, he was still unable to protect the disciples of Jie Jiao, so he decided to retreat and meditate on what he had done in Zixiao Palace. Listen to the Tao and Dharma that you have not yet fully understood. In order to reach the state of great annihilation where the three corpses can be killed,.
Then he summoned two disciples and said, "Kong Xuan and Yuan Hong are teachers and want to retreat for a period of time. You two brothers will go to Biyou Palace to listen to the lectures and don't waste your practice." Kong Xuan and the two bowed in response. Seeing this, Qingxu went to the quiet room to retreat.
This retreat lasted for five hundred years. During these hundred years, the three saints of the Sanqing Dynasty once again discussed the matter of the list of gods, but there was still no result. The three saints had to come to Zixiao Palace for the third time to discuss. Just when the three saints came to Zixiao Palace and took their seats, Taoist Hongjun suddenly appeared and sat on the futon placed in Zixiao Palace.
The three saints stood up and bowed hurriedly: "Disciple Li Er (Yuan, Tongtian) pays homage to the teacher." Hongjun waved his hand and said: "This is the third time today that I have to do without ceremony. There are only three mortals, and you and the three of you need to be on the list of gods. The person is settled." After saying that, he sat on the futon with his eyes closed and stopped talking.
When the three saints of Sanqing saw what their teacher had said, they knew that they must decide on the disciples who would be on the list of gods today. However, even though the saint is a saint, he still has a human character and cannot cut off the four emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. Both Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Cult Master want to preserve the vitality of their sect and let the other's disciples be on the list. After arguing for a while, we still couldn't decide who would be on the list.
Taishang Laojun saw that the two junior brothers were arguing and couldn't decide who would be on the list, so he was afraid of missing the time to become a god, so he said: "Since the two junior brothers can't decide on the candidate, why don't I wait for one to fill up."
