Chapter 32: Sun's Sacred Doubts
Human hands may seem useless in the ancient times, but they are really useful at critical moments, and even very useful.
Why was Jiejiao able to crush the other three religions? Even if Yuanshi Tianzun had not bullied the weak and all the saints except Nuwa had targeted Tongtian, Jiejiao would not necessarily have lost in the Conferred God Tribulation? It was because Jiejiao taught everyone without distinction and opened its doors to everyone. As long as one could breathe, no matter what kind of person they were, almost everyone could enter the Jiejiao gate to listen to the teachings. It was so powerful that it was said that all the immortals came to pay homage to it. It was also the main person who would be afflicted in the Conferred God Tribulation.
It’s a pity that this method is suitable for reaching the sky, but not for maintaining a permanent life.
Tongtian founded Jiejiao in order to test his own path, and Hengming did the same. However, Tongtian did not care whether his disciples were loyal to him, but Hengming cared very much.
There was no other reason. Tongtian was already a saint at that time, that is, the immortal Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. No one could kill him, so they could only seal him. Naturally, there was no need for so-called loyalty.
Hengming is now just a small Taiyi Golden Immortal. If someone betrays him and he is hunted down by Dijun Taiyi and the entire demon clan, he will be in a state of despair.
These two Demon Kings and Demon Emperors are not comparable to Dong Wanggong and Xukong Taoist, not to mention that there are countless talented people in the demon clan. If they form a large formation, I am afraid they will be another top-level innate sacred being.
So this time he seemed to have accepted Qinggu's loyalty very simply, but he also made some backup plans.
A life chart depicting a vague pattern slowly appeared and stayed quietly in Hengming's hand. On a corner of this life chart, a snow-white divine bull was clearly engraved in it, and in the middle was Qinggu.
As long as Hengming slightly lingers his spiritual thoughts on this divine bull, he will be able to completely discover everything about Qinggu.
"It's a pity that the destiny map can only be engraved by those who are not as good as me in cultivation, and there are even very strict requirements. For example, those who do not have great luck cannot engrave it. Otherwise, I don't need to worry about the manpower problem."
Hengming felt very troubled by these restrictions.
The Life Chart's ability to allow others to enter it is a function he has just discovered through experimentation. Anyone whose life is engraved by the Life Chart will never be able to escape the control of the eternal destiny, but he himself is unaware of this, as unpredictable as fate.
It’s a pity that there are many restrictions. The issue of cultivation is the only thing that matters. The biggest restriction is that only those with great luck can engrave it.
Qinggu is a congenitally sacred being. Although he is very weak, he naturally has great luck. Because he is developing his race, every time a Tiangu divine bull appears, his luck will become stronger. This is the help given to him by his race.
But since Qinggu had the destiny diagram engraved on him, the luck on him no longer belonged to him. As long as Hengming had a thought, he could immediately devour all the luck. Now it was just temporarily stored in Qinggu's body.
Otherwise, he would not have let Qinggu leave so easily. He would at least have placed some restrictions inside his soul so that he could feel at ease.
After much deliberation, Hengming could only set his sights on the innate sacred beings who had developed the race. As long as he could engrave them in the life map, it would be able to make up for the problem of lack of manpower.
Hengming began to move towards Mount Buzhou again. This time he wasted too much time. First it was Qiongqi, then Ji Meng, and now there was Qinggu. It all involved the prototype of the demon clan, the arrangement of chess pieces, and the chief of the ferocious beasts. His thoughts were as complicated as a sea of problems. If Hengming was not born good at dealing with these, he would probably feel a little dizzy at this moment.
Even so, Hengming now feels his head a little swollen. This is a problem of overusing the brain. The innate sacredness involves the laws of the great way. Thinking about them is like deducing a completely different great way, which naturally consumes a lot of mental energy.
He picked a Binghuo fruit and savored the sweet and spicy juice. Hengming finally felt better. Although he couldn't comprehend the law of fire through the Binghuo fruit, the taste alone was enough to make him relax.
"It feels like drinking spicy juice. Maybe I can make some hot pot with these fruits?"
Heng Ming smiled and put the idea behind him. It was just a joke. With his current level of cultivation, even if he ate the Qinggu, it would only be impurities and a waste of time.
Just when Hengming began to travel around the ancient world in a good mood again, things started to get uneasy inside the Palace of the Sun God.
"What? You said you met a god who is as great as Taichi and I?"
Di Jun frowned slightly and asked. Next to him sat a young emperor wearing the robe of the Sun and Moon Emperor and the crown of the Lord of Stars. He was naturally the Demon Emperor Taiyi.
Di Jun and Tai Yi look very similar, but anyone who has seen these two brothers will not confuse them.
If Di Jun is like the mysterious emperor who can make blood flow for thousands of miles while talking and laughing, and who can kill nine generations of a family with a wave of his hand, making it impossible for people to figure out his true colors, then Taiyi is like a tyrant who sticks to his words, makes decisions when necessary, and never allows anyone to disobey him. Their temperaments are completely opposite, so the difference can naturally be seen at a glance.
That’s right, Taiyi is a tyrant in the eyes of the demon gods and saints of the demon clan. If you offend Dijun, there is still a chance of survival, but if you offend Taiyi, there will be no other choice except to be reduced to ashes.
At this moment, in front of the two of them, a great god with a dragon head and a human body and a majestic face was standing trembling with fear. He was Ji Meng who was very confident in front of Heng Ming.
Realizing that his tone was a little harsh, Di Jun put on a smile and said, "Ji Meng, the demon god, can you tell me who that great god is who is no less powerful than us?"
Ji Meng glanced upwards, focusing on Taiyi with a stern face for some time, and finally whispered: "Your Majesty, that great god called himself Hengming. The reason he found me was because Hengming had heard that someone was giving a sermon nearby, so he wanted to meet me. Later, I wanted to invite this Taoist friend to the Sun Palace to meet the two Demon Kings, but Taoist friend Hengming said he wanted to leave on a whim. I tried to persuade him to stay, but I couldn't get him to come here to meet the two Demon Kings. It is really a sin for Ji Meng to act in the name of the two adults without informing the Demon Kings."
As he spoke, Ji Meng couldn't help but twist his dragon beard. He felt very uncomfortable, not because of Di Jun Taiyi, but because of the Sun God Palace.
The Sun Palace was filled with golden flames of the sun. As the top divine fire in the ancient times, its power was even greater above the Sun Star. Even though Ji Meng was a congenital Feng Shui god, he was unable to summon any Feng Shui here, and he could not exert even 80% of his strength, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
This is also the reason why other demon gods stayed in the Sun God Palace, while he stayed in Zhangyuan.
Di Jun thought for a moment, and finally exchanged glances with Taiyi, and comforted him: "Ji Meng, the demon god, don't be so nervous. As the saying goes, in an emergency, you should make decisions based on your circumstances. What's more, what you did is indeed correct. Even if Taiyi and I were here, I'm afraid we would ask the same question. Go to Bai Ze and get a hibiscus bud. This is what you deserve."
Ji Meng was overjoyed. He didn't expect that he could get a hibiscus branch just for the job promotion. He bowed quickly to express his gratitude and left the temple.
After Ji Meng left, Taiyi said, "Brother, do you think what Ji Meng said is true or false? There is actually a congenital saint who is no less powerful than us talking to him. Why do I feel that it is not true?"
Di Jun smiled slightly, left the throne above the temple, walked to a small window and said slowly: "Half true, half false, what Ji Meng said about meeting an innate god is true, and his strength is no less than ours is also true, but he wants to join the demon race is false, think about how long you and I have been inviting the three Taiyin goddesses, even at the cost of the throne, but not a single goddess is willing to nod, which is enough to show the arrogance in the hearts of the top innate gods. There must be a reason behind this, but why did they target the demon race?"
My throat is uncomfortable. I will be able to recover once my throat is better.
