Chapter 98: The Great Tribulation of the Gods Perhaps, this is also Hongjun's concern, so he did not push himself too much. For other saints, they are just saints of if they have killed the three corpses and attained enlightenment, and have the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, they can still enter the chaos, which is also very dangerous. However, Hong Yun is different. He has a world that can exist independently in the chaos. The danger of him entering the chaos was greatly reduced. "However, I can endure it, but can you?" Hong Yun said to himself silently, but his eyes became more and more vague. …… And sure enough, not long after, Haotian could no longer tolerate the many saintly disciples' contempt for the laws of heaven, and in a rage he went to Zixiao Palace. Complaint went. Hongjun’s handling of this matter was very direct. He called all the saints together and then established the rules for conferring gods. However, whether it is Laozi's Taoism, Hongyun's Humanism and Confucianism, or Zhenyuanzi's Earth Immortalism, there are not many disciples. Hong Yun was still righteous and filled many names on the List of Gods, but they were all names of monks in the Three Realms who did not belong to the various saints' sects.
It was at this time that everyone realized that Hongyun’s religion was simply invincible. His "human" does not simply refer to the human race, but all living beings can be human. Especially those monks who have practiced martial arts, every one of them may be classified into the Human Sect by Hong Yun at any time. This is simply a rogue sect. You say he has few disciples. He really does have few. Ever since Xuanhong reincarnated as Xuanyuan and became the Human Emperor, the Human Sect now does not have a single disciple. But Hongyun can always find a large number of "Human Sect disciples" at any time. However, although Hong Yun was "righteous", he still added dozens of names to the List of Gods. But not to mention the others in the List of Gods, there are as many as 365 main gods, and even if these dozens of names are filled in, it is still far from enough. And the remaining vacancies can only be allocated to the orthodox, unorthodox and Buddhist sects. Some people may be confused after reading this. Your Hongyun's teachings say that all living beings in the three realms can become human beings. What about Zhen Yuanzi's Earthly Immortal Sect? Doesn't it say that all cultivators in the prehistoric land can become earthly immortals? This involves a cause and effect relationship. If Hongyun wants to fill in the names, then those people must have practiced martial arts, and there must be this layer of cause and effect involved, only then can it be legitimate. However, Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Immortal Sect was very shameless and he didn't even spread any skills. Just preaching. This resulted in Zhen Yuanzi's Earthly Immortal Sect being even more of an "empty shell" than Hong Yun's Human Sect, as those "Earthly Immortals" were not under Zhen Yuanzi's control. Zhen Yuanzi's Earthly Immortal Sect is even more invincible than Hong Yun's Human Sect. This level of shamelessness also made all the saints broaden their horizons. Looking at so many major religions, I am afraid that only Laozi's Taoism can compare with these two. The three of them were even grouped together, all of them were so shameless.
So, after Hongyun wrote down the names of dozens of cultivators, the three saints Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, and Zhunti began to quarrel in Zixiao Palace. Seeing the two forcing him, Zhunti came up with a plan and said to Hongjun: "Teacher, I, a disciple of Western Buddhism, am empty of the four elements, so I will not be involved in this catastrophe." Unexpectedly, Hongjun actually recognized Zhunti, saying that as long as Buddhist disciples did not leave the West, they would not fall into the great catastrophe. So, the pressure was once again placed on Yuanshi and Tongtian, and this time it was even greater. Even though they are brothers, how can they compromise on this matter? Quarreling. In the end, it was Taiqing Laozi who couldn't stand it anymore and told Hongjun to discuss it privately, and that's when the situation calmed down. Not long after that, there was another discussion in Zixiao Palace, but still no agreement was reached. By the third time, Taiqing Laozi was helpless and had to decide that the List of Gods could be left unfilled for the time being, and that anyone who made the list would depend on everyone's luck from then on. The dispute over the List of Gods was temporarily put to an end. Hongjun then handed the List of Gods to Yuanshi Tianzun for temporary safekeeping. Whoever found the person who was deified would own the list. Hong Yun did not interfere in these matters, but just watched silently. However, Hong Yun still felt that Hong Jun was obviously a little anxious during these three visits to Zixiao Palace. This anxiety is not directed at the calamity of the Conferred Gods, but at oneself. Although it cannot be seen on the surface, it is reflected in Hongyun's mind. This kind of spiritual perception cannot be wrong. Returning to the Pure Heaven, Hong Yun couldn't help but look down at the three realms of the ancient world, and saw that the evil spirit was getting thicker and the calamity was getting heavier. And chaos gradually arose in heaven and earth. Hong Yun shook his head and said to himself, "It is determined that during this calamity, Confucianism will flourish." So Hongyun called over a few of his disciples. They are Xuanfeng, Kongxuan and Xuanpeng. As for Xuanhong, he is now the emperor of men, but he is no longer in Qingjingtian. But it is also outside these thirty-three days. Moreover, it is right next to Qingjingtian. In his spare time, if Hongyun or Zhenyuanzi were preaching, he would come and listen. Xuan Hong and the other two emperors and five kings lived in Huoyun Cave, which was naturally funded by Hongyun as their residence. Right next to Qingjingtian, to the left and right of Qingjingtian are Wahuangtian and Huoyun Cave respectively. After the three disciples came, Hongyun began to preach, and what he preached was Confucianism and Taoism. After speaking for hundreds of years, Hong Yun stopped and said, "Kong Xuan, after this calamity, it will be the time for my Confucianism to spread. At that time, you can follow my command and go down to the world to preach." Among the three disciples, Kong Xuan was the one who best understood the essence of Confucianism and Taoism, so Hong Yun gave this important task to Kong Xuan. Afterwards, Hongyun ordered Xuanfeng and Xuanpeng to assist him. After the three disciples took the order and left, Hong Yun was free and watched the drama of Conferred Gods with Zhen Yuanzi. In fact, people like Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi have already become saints. Even though the catastrophe of heaven and earth is fierce, how can it do anything to them? It’s just that each of them has their own Taoist tradition, and the struggle for the fortune of their Taoist tradition has turned into a struggle between saints.
For people like Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi, this catastrophe will have very little impact on them. If they don't meddle in other people's business, then this catastrophe will have nothing to do with them at all. They could just watch the fight between the Chan sect and the Jie sect, and how the two saints Yuanshi and Tongtian would respond. It’s no wonder that the two saints’ attitudes towards this catastrophe are quite opposite. Yuanshi Tianzun attached great importance to it, and adopted the method of turning passive into active. He not only tried every means to calculate, but also asked his disciples to find someone to take the place of the disaster. Moreover, he was also very concerned about the person who was deified and possessed the flying bear vision mentioned by Hongjun. But on the other hand, Master Tongtian was somewhat negative. It cannot be said that he did not take it seriously, but his method was to lock up his disciples in caves and not let them go out. This is also partly due to the fact that there are too many disciples in the Jiejiao sect. Tongtian the Patriarch can control those direct disciples and inner disciples. But there are more outer disciples, and even Patriarch Tongtian may not remember their names, so how can he take care of them now? Therefore, Master Tongtian had no choice but to adopt this method in order to avoid the danger of Jiejiao falling into disaster. In the opinion of Master Tongtian, it is probably impossible to prevent all the disciples of the entire sect from suffering calamity. But as long as his direct disciples and inner disciples listen to him and do not participate in the catastrophe, then this catastrophe will pass. However, Master Tongtian never imagined that there was someone named Shen Gongbao in this catastrophe. (End of this chapter)
