Prehistoric: Twin lotuses with parallel stems

Chapter 408: The End of the Conferred God

After the Mengjin Alliance, within just a few years, the Shang army was defeated step by step. The two sides started a decisive battle in Muye, and the allied forces won a great victory. After this battle, the situation was no longer suspenseful.

Internally, loyal ministers of the Shang Dynasty died one after another. Some died in battles, and some, like Bigan, were killed by Emperor Xin. The princes also rebelled in all directions.

Especially after Wen Zhong, the veteran Grand Tutor of three dynasties, died in battle at Juelong Ridge, the last of the Shang Dynasty's luck had dissipated, and there were no more ministers who could stabilize the people's hearts.

The most important ministers of the Shang Dynasty, Duke Dongbo and Duke Nanbo, were killed by Emperor Xin, and Duke Beibo was killed by his brother Chong Heihu. None of the great princes were loyal to the Shang Dynasty anymore.

Grand Tutor Wen Zhong died in battle, Junior Tutor Bigan died by having his heart dug out, King Wucheng Huang Feihu and his family fled to Xiqi, and Emperor Xin's two elder brothers also fled with the ancestral tripod, leaving no one available in the court.

Externally, with the collapse of Jiejiao, the Shang Dynasty lost its greatest and only source of support.

The city of Chaoge was broken, the Zhaixing Tower was burned down, the Shang Dynasty was destroyed, and the Zhou Dynasty took over the world.

Order is being rebuilt, developing in the midst of change, and fortune is prospering.

At the same time, on the top of Mount Qishan, on the Conferred God Platform, Jiang Ziya was in charge of the Conferred God List and conferred titles on the gods.

Saints from all sides gathered together, and many powerful people watched the ceremony and witnessed it together.

Among those who were included in the List of Gods, the majority were disciples of the Jie Religion and humans who were not disciples of the three religions, followed by the abandoned disciples of the Western Religion.

The three great forces converge to create the throne of heaven and earth.

Those who are deified enjoy the authority of the deity, but are also subject to restrictions of the deity.

Qingxuan and the other two brought Long Ji to watch the ceremony. In addition, there was also Nuqing guarding the Fengshen platform.

The matter of conferring the gods has been a foregone conclusion, there will be no more variables, and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Qingxuan rarely intervenes in matters himself, so the changes caused by this are also very small.

The position of Emperor Shanggong Gou Chen, one of the Four Imperial Gods of the Four Directions, was given to Taoist Mosquito by Haotian. In addition, Haotian also promoted some newcomers in the Heavenly Court, which brought about some changes.

Qingxuan would certainly not interfere in the enthronement of the god's throne. There was no need for him to interfere in matters that would not affect the general situation.

The Three Sky, Zhao Gongming, and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother used the methods he left behind to reshape their Taoist bodies and were listed on the list in their physical bodies, which was similar to the situation of Yang Jian and others.

Qingxuan originally planned to make the number nine. After all, people who practice Taoism have always attached great importance to the number nine.

But Qing Xuan thought about it and felt that this would make things too difficult for Haotian, so he gave up and only left five opportunities to make it an even number.

After this event of deifying, the power of heaven was directly transformed, and the order of heaven, earth and all living things was truly established.

The gods returned to their positions, the Three Realms were at peace, and the world was peaceful and tranquil as never before.

But soon after the Conferred Gods, a great event occurred that shook the ancient world: the deputy leader of the Chan sect, Master Ran Deng, rebelled against the Chan sect and joined the Western sect.

Not only that, in addition to the Taoist Master Ran Deng himself who defected to the Western Religion, four of the Twelve Immortals of the Chan Sect followed the Taoist Master Ran Deng and joined the Western Religion together.

Taoist Cihang, Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra, and Juliusun are all disciples directly taught by Yuanshi Saint.

Among the second generation disciples, Jinzha, Muzha, Wei Tuo and others also followed and joined the Western Religion.

In addition, after the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation was broken, a number of Jiejiao disciples were led away by the Western Religion, such as the Wuyun Immortal and the Chang'er Dingguang Immortal among the Seven Immortals. Six of the Seven Immortals were also in the Western Religion, making the Western Religion more prosperous than the Jiejiao when Ten Thousand Immortals once came to pay homage.

The Western Religion not only accepted some of the scattered luck of the Jie Religion, but also poached from the Chen Religion and took away some of its luck.

After this incident happened, many people were amazed at the handiwork of the two Western saints. They actually managed to poach the saints' personal disciples. This was beyond imagination, yet they succeeded.

It can be said that half of the Western religion's current wealth was taken from the Jie religion and the Chen religion.

Everyone was wondering if a war of saints would break out after this happened.

After all, the disciples of Jiejiao were not so bad. The Sage Tongtian was defeated and taken to Zixiao Palace by the Taoist Patriarch. He never showed up again, not even when the gods were being enthroned. Without the protection of the saint, they were just gone.

But the situation of the Chan Sect was different. Moreover, Yuanshi was such an arrogant person who attached great importance to rules. How could he tolerate such an ugly thing as his own disciple betraying his religion?

Although the Western Church has two saints, Yuanshi also has Taiqing to help him. His strength is not weaker than theirs, but even better. How could he possibly swallow this?

The result of the matter was beyond expectations. Yuanshi did not argue with the Western saint, and suffered a loss.

In the eyes of many people, Xuanmen has shown signs of decline. The Human Sect is transcendent, the Chan Sect is unable to support itself and has closed its own mountain gate. However, the Western Sect has reached directly into the East and started to preach in the East.

Without the obstruction of the orthodox and unorthodox teachings, even if the three religions took root here, the Western religions would still take away a considerable base.

The inaction of the Humanities Department on this issue is understandable, after all, the Humanities Department has always been committed to cultivating tranquility and inaction.

But the Chan sect also remained silent, leaving people with all kinds of speculations.

The Taoist Master Ran Deng entered the Western Religion and used his own top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Qiankun Ruler, and a set of top-grade innate spiritual treasures, the twenty-four Dinghai Divine Pearls, which he had snatched from Zhao Gongming, to borrow the power of the Western Religion and evolve the twenty-four heavens.

The Taoist Master Ran Deng also took this opportunity to break through the shackles, merge with the Tao and become a saint in a different way.

The evolution of the twenty-four heavens allowed the Pure Land of Western Buddhism to take shape and create the Western Paradise, from which all Western Buddhism disciples benefited greatly.

In addition, Western religions evolved the Lapis Lazuli Pure Land in the East and worshipped the Medicine Buddha, making this Medicine Buddha a saint in another way.

The world was unfamiliar with this pharmacist who suddenly appeared, but a group of powerful beings knew his origins very clearly: Dong Mugong, who was born into a divine family.

The two pure lands evolved and took shape, creating two alternative enlightened beings in one fell swoop.

And this is not the limit. According to the deduction of a group of powerful beings, the Pure Land world opened up by the Western religions will be enough for more people to achieve another kind of sainthood through it.

No one knows how many eras the Western Church has planned for this, but the scale of this undertaking is so huge that it leaves them speechless.

Two saints of the Heavenly Way, two people who have attained sainthood through alternative means. It is very likely that more people who have attained sainthood through alternative means will be born in the future. How profound is the foundation of Western religion?

Not to mention the orthodox teaching and the human teaching, even if the two teachings joined forces, there would still be a big gap. In the ancient times, it seems that there is no one who can be compared with them, and their power is unparalleled.

Without the support of Taoist Patriarch Hongjun, the Heavenly Court would not be as good as the Western Religion this time.

Of course, this is only the surface situation. Many discerning people can see that the internal components of Western religions are not pure, or are extremely complex.

The master of the Eastern Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, Medicine Master, was directly born in Heaven, so it is hard to say whether he can be considered a member of the Western religion.

Moreover, in the eyes of many people, the low-key Qingqiu lineage is still more terrifying in strength.

No one knows what level of strength Qingxuan and Qinglian have reached, but their eldest disciple Long Ji is a genuine Hunyuan realm expert.

There is also gossip that Qingqiu's second disciple, Tianhu, has already attained the status of a saint, a saint of heaven.

Three Hunyuans, one true saint, and the remaining three disciples, no one would doubt their potential.

It was also at this time that the Zixiao Palace opened again, summoning all the saints and alternative enlightened people in the prehistoric times, including Hou Tu and the Lords of the Six Paths, Emperor Haotian, and even several Human Emperors from the Human Emperor Palace were invited and all gathered in the Zixiao Palace.

After preaching in Zixiao Palace, this was the first time that Taoist Hongjun summoned so many people to Zixiao Palace.

Not long after, everyone returned from Zixiao Palace. With their return, the atmosphere between the ancient world and heaven suddenly changed, becoming quiet, like the eve of a storm.

Few people know what exactly happened in Zixiao Palace.

At this moment, Qingxuan was working on the moving matter. He planned to move Lianhuatian to the chaos first.

It’s not that he wants to take Qinglian and run away, but it’s mainly because it’s not easy to open up a cave. If it is affected and destroyed, how troublesome it will be to clean up.

Now there is no more danger in the chaos, no more worries, and chaos is actually the safest place.

Inside the cave, Qinglian was sitting not far away making tea.

Hanging in front of Qingxuan was the innate treasure Qiankun Ding, and inside the cauldron was an exquisite palace filled with the aura of innate spiritual treasures.

Long Ji followed Qing Xuan and assisted him in refining various precious materials, and Nv Qing assisted her.

The innate spiritual treasure palace that Qingxuan had been longing for for countless years had to be refined by himself in the end, as Qinglian was unwilling to help.

Time is like water, and the world has been peaceful for hundreds of years.

At a certain moment, a strange aura grew between heaven and earth, and then swept across the ancient world, causing all the eyes in the dojos of powerful people to suddenly open, with a solemn expression on their faces.
