Chapter 249: The Saints Discuss the Future

After the few people exchanged greetings, Hengming was the first to step onto Shouyang Mountain. He saw the floating light of the mountains, the clear jade springs, the flying birds and the running beasts, and the fairy forests everywhere, all of which were beautiful scenery. Not far away was a jade cave covered with clouds, deep cliffs and dangerous valleys, dense ancient trees, gurgling water, and fresh air. There were rays of rosy clouds, auspicious air, and brilliance. The eyes were painted with the color of precious jade, and the mouth and nose were clear. The flow of qi suddenly became a little faster. The scenery here is beyond words.

Heng Ming carefully tasted it for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "This spiritual energy is mixed with the alchemy energy. Senior Brother Taishang is really good at the alchemy. He can actually use the spiritual energy as fuel to refine a good sacred mountain."

To outsiders, they may just think that Shouyang Mountain is a place where saints do things, so it should naturally have such momentum.

But Hengming was also a saint, so he could naturally see the mystery at a glance.

Taishang Laojun seemed to have treated the entire Shouyang Mountain as the main material for alchemy. He used spiritual energy as fuel and the heaven and earth as a furnace. He had thoroughly refining Shouyang Mountain. Even the spiritual energy was mixed with countless elixir qi. If a pig climbed Shouyang Mountain, it would be a divine pig. Such means fully demonstrated the wonders of alchemy.

Nuwa looked at Shouyang Mountain thoughtfully, thinking that she would be able to refine Taisutian again in the future.

Although she is more proficient in refining equipment, elixir and equipment are inseparable. Since she can refine equipment, she can naturally refine elixir.

Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "It's just a little trick. If I can catch the eye of Junior Brother, then my efforts over the years have not been in vain. Please take a seat and don't stay here any longer, otherwise it would be very rude."

After hearing this, several other people also spoke up, asking them to take the seat first, either explicitly or implicitly.

Heng Ming's eyes flickered slightly after hearing this. He glanced at Nuwa and Yang Mei without leaving a trace, with a hint of a smile in his heart.

"It seems like you want to show us your power? Never mind, I'll give you a little face, but I want to see what you are up to."

Since he had made up his mind, Heng Ming also smiled and said, "It is better to obey than to be respectful. Junior Sister, Ancestor, let's go and take a seat."

Then, they chatted and laughed, and came to a tall flying island.

There is a mountain on the flying island. There is an earthen platform on top, which reaches the top of the clouds. It is an observatory. There are three nine-story pavilions on both sides, all of which are built with jade and have arched doors. There are no plaques, only two lines of couplets.

On the left side of the tree: "Three thousand worlds, look carefully, is it true or false?"

On the right side of the tree: "Five hundred fortunes and disasters, count them clearly, who is lucky and who is unlucky?"

The observatory is about a thousand feet high, leaning against the cliff. It has diversions and flowers planted around it, elegant terraces and pavilions, gurgling green springs, and is free from dust. The wood is covered with jade and the tiles are made of glazed tiles. The whole building is crystal clear and dazzling.

Even Hengming couldn't help but praise it when he saw it: "What a divine building! I think it was made by Senior Brother Yuanshi himself. The couplet on it is quite mysterious, and it seems to contain the secret of Chantian. I wonder who can explain it."

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled reservedly and said proudly: "I have nothing to do, so I thought of adding luster to the Taoist temple of my senior brother. It's just that my senior brother doesn't mind it. How can there be a divine building?"

Several other saints also complimented him. Logically, they should have entered the building at this point, but Tongtian Sect Master didn't want to see Yuanshi Tianzun so proud, so he snorted coldly, "I think it's just average. I will create a great formation for Shouyang Mountain in the future. That will be in line with the great way of the eldest brother. This divine building is too majestic and amazing, and it really doesn't conform to the true meaning of inaction."

Yuanshi Tianzun's smile faded, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just didn't want to show off anymore, and said calmly: "Junior brother Tongtian is right, I didn't think much about it."

Tongtian Sect Leader also had a bad expression on his face, and said calmly: "I am too outspoken, and I hope that Senior Brother will forgive me."

These two have been doing this for years. Once they start a fight, they will not care about the occasion or location. Taishang Laojun has long been accustomed to it, so he still greeted them into the building with a normal expression.

Hengming looked at this scene in amazement.

Although Yuanshi Tianzun used the word "brother" to pressure Tongtian Jiaozhu, he still bowed his head in the end. In order to let them talk about things, Yuanshi Tianzun bowed his head, which shows how important what they are going to say next is to these saints.

After entering this sacred building, I realized that everything outside was just a trivial matter, and the things inside were truly precious and rare.

The Buddha Cundi was jealous and excited, because in front of him there was a completely blue jade bottle. The jade bottle was only about ten feet in size and emitted a faint blue light. As long as he was swept by this blue light, his heart would feel extremely warm, as if he could feel the salty sea breeze and was in the boundless ocean.

"This is actually a jade bottle carved from a complete heart of the sea! If this heart of the sea is given to me, I can at least refine a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure! A treasure comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure is actually used as a decorative jade bottle. It's really a waste of natural resources. The East is too rich!"

The Heart of the Sea was formed from a leaked bit of the Four Seas Origin. This bit of the Four Seas Origin did not return to the four seas, but instead turned into soil and rocks, becoming a precious material. It is extremely rare.

And he was born with the ability to attract a bit of luck from all over the world. Although the amount was small, it was continuous, and this was what the West needed most. It was also the first time for Zhunti Buddha to enter this sacred building. After all, Shouyang Mountain was the Taoist temple of Taishang Laojun, and he couldn't just go in randomly. But until this moment, he secretly hated how stupid his behavior was. If he had entered earlier, I'm afraid the jade bottle would have been his long ago.

But Hengming and his companions turned a blind eye to it and didn't care about the jade bottle at all.

Among the seven saints in the world, Sanqing and Nuwa were born in the East, Zhunti and Jie Yin were great gods in the West, and only Heng Ming was born above the four seas. But apart from the West, there is almost no place so barren.

But it was no use regretting, as other saints took their seats one by one, he had no choice but to follow suit.

When the seven saints and one ancestor entered the building, the bells and chimes in the building rang loudly, striking nine times in a row. After a moment, the sound ended and the door behind them fell down with a slam. Except for these eight supreme rulers in the prehistoric world, there were only a few disciples and boys who could listen on the side.

As the master of Shouyang Mountain and the landlord of this place, Taishang Laojun naturally had to speak first. He looked around and saw that the seats of several saints were quite mysterious, and there was a vague sense of opposition between two groups of people.

There are four saints beside him, namely: Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jieying Taoist, and Zhunti Buddha.

Opposite Taishang Laojun are two saints and one ancestor, namely: Master Hengming, Nuwa, and Ancestor Yangmei.

But although they are numerous and powerful, their auras are not compatible with each other. The two saints in the West are naturally of the same blood, but while leaning towards the Three Pure Ones, they also remain neutral. They are also the two saints closest to Hengming and others.

Although the Three Pure Ones were united against the outside world, there had long been a conflict between Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu. Even with his presence to mediate, and with external enemies nearby, they were ultimately unable to show their true colors and were only smiling on the outside but not on the inside.

As for the three people on the opposite side, although they are weak, their aura is tightly twisted into a rope. With Heng Ming as the leader, they can hit whatever they point at. Overall, they can be said to be evenly matched.

"If Luo Hou is added... then it will be difficult."

Taishang Laojun is not a fool either. Although he follows the doctrine of inaction, he does not ignore everything. Instead, he knows everything well. Luohou dared to lead the demon world to integrate into the prehistoric world, and there were saints endorsing him, which shows that they have already colluded with each other.

This is also the reason why he urgently invited these three people to come and discuss the matter, because the longer it drags on, the worse the situation will be for them.

The two saints in the West are fence-sitters. Even if they side with humanity today, they might surrender to humanity in the future when they see that the human side is more powerful.

Therefore, they must work together to divide the interests of the prehistoric world today, otherwise the Three Pure Ones will be forced to stay indoors and focus on teaching their followers sooner or later.

Although he thought a lot, everything happened in a flash. To outsiders, it seemed that Taishang Laojun just stood up, paused, and then bowed his head, saying to the saints: "At the beginning of the world, there were caves and blessed places everywhere. Although there were few people practicing Taoism, there were also Taoist ancestors. It was rare to be quiet. Calamities occurred frequently and there were many disasters in the prehistoric times. Two catastrophes damaged the West, and now the catastrophe is even worse than before. If we don't plan early, I'm afraid even the East will be destroyed. As the eldest brother, I have to take on this responsibility on my own, but the prehistoric times are not mine alone, so I specially invite several junior brothers and sisters and the ancestor to come to discuss the matter."

After he finished speaking, more than ten breaths passed before Yuanshi Tianzun said loudly, "Big Brother, what you said is very true. The witches and demons have no morals and do not understand the will of heaven. They only wreak havoc on the myriad races in the prehistoric world for their own selfish desires, causing countless lives to suffer. Among them, the demon race is the most abominable. They call themselves the leaders of all races, but do not think about seeking welfare for all races. Instead, they only contribute to those demon kings. It is really heartbreaking!"

Yuanshi Tianzun's words were deliberately directed at Nuwa.

This is because among the several saints present, some are alone and only have a few disciples; some have founded a large religion to teach all living beings and treat everyone equally. Only Nuwa is the Queen of the demon clan, so they are afraid that Nuwa will speak for the demon clan, so they deliberately suppress her.

Then, Master Tongtian nodded and said, "As the saying goes, those who have the right path will have many supporters, while those who lose the right path will have few supporters. The two races of wizards and liches have lost the respect of many great gods, and they no longer have the virtue to dominate the prehistoric world. They must be completely destroyed in this catastrophe to make up for the sins of killing they have caused."

The Taoist Master Jie Yin has never been a talkative person, and it is always the Buddha Cundi who fights for him.

Now that the three saints have taken the lead in targeting the witches and liches, Zhunti Buddha could no longer hold back his thoughts and said, "What the three brothers said is very true. Heaven is merciful and will grant a glimmer of hope to all living things in the world, including the witches and liches. If those sinners are willing to exterminate themselves and join the saints to listen to the great truth and wash away their sins, it would be a good move."

The meaning of Cundi Buddha is very clear, which is to divide the vitality of the two races of wizards and liches.

It should be known that the demon race is the result of the convergence of most of the prehistoric races, and there are countless spiritual talents among them. They are the seeds of cultivators that the West desires most.

Although the witches have no soul and cannot listen to the teachings of the saints, they have strong bodies and can become guardian gods.

Taishang Laojun didn't care about what Zhunti Buddha said, Yuanshi Tianzun showed disgust, but Tongtian Jiaozhu's eyes lit up and he said with great interest: "That's right. The Jietian Dao that I practice is to seize a ray of hope from the Heavenly Dao. Those sinners can just listen to my Dao and wash away the filth on their bodies."
