Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Beyond the thirty-three heavens is the Xuandu Zifu Eight Scenery Palace.

Ji Ren came through the endless void and walked towards the palace on his own without being led by the boy. The gate of Bajing Palace opened automatically.

Ji Ren walked in and soon saw Laozi sitting on the wind and fire cushion.

“You have just broken the Yunxiao Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation and gained the luck of the four seas. Why are you coming to my Bajing Palace instead of practicing hard and striving to break through Hunyuan?” Laozi looked at Ji Ren strangely.

"Because I have some doubts and want to ask my Grand Master for advice." Ji Ren said.

Hearing this, Laozi frowned slightly, looked at Ji Ren for a while, and then said, "Speak."

"Back then, I asked Grand Master why they concealed the news of my condensation of Gonggong's Dharma image. Grand Master said that he wanted to keep me as a backup. But how should he keep me? If Grand Master was indeed deceiving Grand Master, how could Grand Master fight back? Could he rely on me alone?" Ji Ren went straight to the point.

"Don't you have confidence in yourself?" Lao Tzu chuckled.

"Uncle Grand Master, please answer my questions directly. Otherwise, I don't mind telling Hongjun everything you and I have been planning." Ji Ren looked directly at Lao Tzu with a rare sharp look in his eyes.

The smile on Laozi's face froze instantly, and he put away his smile the next moment, looking straight at Ji Ren. The atmosphere in Bajing Palace changed in an instant. At this moment, Ji Ren felt as if he was in the end of the world, and the heaven and earth were about to collapse completely. He, the number one person under the new saint, was as weak as an ant and could be annihilated at any time.

But Ji Ren was not afraid. He looked directly into Laozi's eyes and said, "Uncle Taishi, please answer my question directly."

Hearing Ji Ren's reiteration, Laozi narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Although you defeated Yun Xiao, you are still as insignificant as an ant to me. I can kill you with just a snap of my fingers. Did you come to me with the intention of dying?"

“No, Grand Master won’t kill me. After all, Grand Master needs me now, and Grand Master can’t kill me, right? Only a part of me came here. The one with Gonggong’s image is in the four seas, and the one with Houyi’s image is in the underworld. It is impossible for Grand Master to kill three of me at the same time, and it is even more impossible for him to keep the news from leaking out.” Ji Ren said.

"If this matter is made public, Hongjun will definitely be wary of you. On the contrary, I did nothing. Who do you think suffers?" Laozi said.

"You." Ji Ren said in a resolute voice, "Uncle Grandmaster, there are some things I didn't want to say before, but that doesn't mean I really don't know. Your search for Gonggong's image is not a matter of one day or one night, is it really just a so-called backup, rather than a change of dynasty? I told you about the God Realm before, and you were not surprised. Uncle Grandmaster, how did you know? And this time, the images of King Zhou of Shang and King Wu of Zhou just happened to fall into Da Qi, a country where the patron saint of the empire is the eldest disciple of the Human Religion, and the ancestor of the empire is the second disciple of the Human Religion. Is it really just a coincidence?"

Listening to Ji Ren's words, Laozi's eyes, which were usually gentle as water, suddenly became sharp, like a magic sword unsheathed, and said coldly: "Some things, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but the more you know, the more disadvantageous it may be to the plan."

"Is it Grand Master's plan or our plan?" Ji Ren asked back, "Grand Master and I have a close relationship because he is my Grand Master, but today my Grand Master took me to see Hongjun and made his position clear. He is the only disciple recognized by Hongjun. He knows everything and supports Hongjun. In other words, if I continue to cooperate with Grand Master, I will be against my Grand Master. The deepest emotional connection between you and me is broken in half. If Grand Master doesn't give me enough confidence, then you can't blame me for not cooperating?"

Sensing Ji Ren's determination, Laozi's eyes flickered. After a long time, the violent aura in the Bajing Palace gradually dissipated. Looking at Ji Ren, he said, "It was an accident that the Dharma of King Zhou of Shang and King Wu of Zhou appeared in Da Qi at the same time. I alone cannot decide on the candidates for the two great calamity emperors at the same time. And I am looking for you to overthrow Hongjun. I don't want to be his enemy unless it is absolutely necessary, but I know that it is useless to discuss with Hongjun. You should know clearly from your contact with them that in their eyes, the people of my fairy world are nothing more than animals like pigs, dogs, cows and horses. They need luck, so the Three Realms must continuously provide them with luck. Even if the result of launching a war is that only one in ten creatures in the Three Realms survives."

"But how to rebel?" Ji Ren looked at Lao Tzu and said, he knew very well what the attitude of the God Realm towards the Immortal Realm was.

Be it Hou Tu, Nuwa or Hong Jun, none of them regarded the creatures in the fairy world as human beings, but as leeks that provided luck.

After harvesting one crop, there will be another.

Therefore, Ji Ren has the possibility to condense the Dharma image of the Human King, and he will be invincible.

After condensing Houyi's Dharma image, Houtu directly said that she would give the entire Three Realms to Ji Ren.

The creatures of the three realms are not worth mentioning in their eyes.

So, the key is how do you resist?

Whether you want to resist is one thing, but whether you can resist is another.

"Become the Way of Heaven. They are outsiders of this world. We are the real masters of this world. The will of Heaven is with us. If we drive them out and close the Way of Heaven, the gods will not be able to find us, which is enough time for us to develop." Lao Tzu said.

Hearing this, Ji Ren's eyes lit up and he said, "But how to become the Heavenly Dao? The method is to defeat Hongjun. Grand Master alone cannot do it!"

“Yes, you can get all the luck of this calamity, sublimate your Dharma image, become a true Taoist ancestor, surpass Hongjun, communicate directly with the Heavenly Dao, and seal off the heaven and earth. Abolishing Hongjun has nothing to do with him?” Lao Tzu said at the end with a bit of pride on his face.

"Get all the luck of this calamity? Lei Ze?" Ji Ren was surprised when he heard this and looked at Laozi.

Is this what I arranged?

"Yes, Lei Ze, you are going to enter Lei Ze. This is also the reason why I was looking for you in the first place. Gonggong, the god of water, is in charge of all waters. If you can achieve Hunyuan, you should be able to enter and exit Lei Ze freely, and you can also control the luck of this part of Lei Ze." Lao Tzu said.

“So Grand Master’s method is that I should enter Lei Ze and gain luck for him?” Ji Ren said.

“That’s right. With my luck, I can ascend to the Supreme Dharma Image and become the true Taoist ancestor, replacing the false god Hongjun.” Laozi said.

"For such a big matter, it may not be enough for Grand Master alone. There should be another ally. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Grand Master Uncle." Ji Ren raised his head and looked directly at Laozi.

It's incredible.

Everyone knows that Taiqing and Yuqing are good friends, while the relationship between Taiqing and Shangqing is average.

But after Ji Ren made a rough calculation according to Laozi's method, he found that the only one who could help Taiqing was Tongtian Sect Master.

The destruction of Tongtian Sect represents the collapse of the original order and the reconstruction of a new order.

To bypass Hongjun and directly become the current Heavenly Dao, it is obvious that the original order will collapse, and it must be done by Master Tongtian.

If it weren't for Master Tongtian, this wouldn't be possible.

And knowing all this clearly means that I am familiar with Lei Ze. The only people who are familiar with this are Ji Ren, the current Zixiao Heavenly Tribulation Survivor, and the former Yunxiao Goddess.

"He is indeed smart, Senior Brother. You were wrong before. He is smarter than you said."

As soon as Ji Ren finished speaking, a loud and hearty laugh suddenly came from the Bajing Palace.

The next moment, a tall and majestic figure appeared out of nowhere, it was none other than the Jiejiao Sect's leader Tongtian.
