Volume 2: Reenacting the Great Desolation Chapter 286: Taihao Retreats to Attain Enlightenment; Great Men Emerge and Survive the Catastrophe in the Styx
On the Thirty-Three Days of the Court, above the Lihen Realm, there is another strange continent, which is the Taizhi. A large millstone with stars hangs on it, rumbling in motion, absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth, reducing it to chaotic energy, and injecting it into the continent. Outside the continent, there was the Empress Chang'e playing the Heavenly Demon Qin beside her. One play lasted half a century. There are two more Taoists, who are the three-corpse incarnations of Saint Zhenyuan. One is holding a ginseng fruit tree, and the other is holding a dragon and phoenix treasure record, silently watching the reincarnation of life in the continent.
There is another Donghuang Bell, suspended in the sky above the mainland. The bell rings continuously, competing with the sound of the piano.
Ancient bells and ancient harp keep the minds of all living beings in that continent from being lost.
It is said that under that continent, there is God Taihao who transformed into a three-headed and four-armed giant, holding the continent in his palms, with a huge pillar of pure energy above his head surging and making sound, rushing into the continent, evolving into thousands of living beings. In the beginning, all sentient beings did not know who they were. They only knew that they were born with magical powers. They could move mountains and fill seas, chase the stars and the moon. They had various cultivation methods in their minds, which could be roughly divided into six sects and one sect. The six sects are naturally people interpreting Buddhism and Western demons, and the first sect is Asura. Because the Asura method has not yet been perfected, it cannot be called a religion.
Under the continent, the heavy and turbid air gave rise to eighteen levels of hell, and above the sky, the light and spiritual air gave rise to thirty-three levels. The eighteen levels of hell, the thirty-three heavens, and the thirty-three outer heavens are each inhabited by gods and humans. A total of sixteen gods rule the three realms of heaven, earth, and humans.
All living beings in the three realms, not only humans, gods, ghosts, feathers and feathers, but also those not included in these ten categories, such as lich, stone monkeys, etc., also thrive on the continent, either practicing or working for a living. There is also love and hatred, ups and downs, intrigues, killing and robbing each other, family friendship, brotherly loyalty, and indifference, ruthlessness and affection...
As the saying goes, there are hundreds of millions of living beings in this world. More than a hundred forms?
God Taihao used only one person to evolve all living beings and incarnate into billions. The billions of people are all himself, and he is also the billions of people. After the cultivation of hundreds of millions of living beings has returned to oneself, and the experiences of hundreds of millions of living beings have returned to the original body, they will be able to see through all obstacles and have a pair of wise eyes. After reading all over the world, Amitabha was born.
But when hundreds of millions of living beings were evolving, the demon Nanda Micha appeared first and was about to start a killing catastrophe and devour all living beings. At this time, Buddha's light suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped the demon king Nanda Mi. Send out the dreamland. As soon as the demon king came out of the dream, he was trapped by the dragon and phoenix treasure record, and he roared ferociously, trying to devour the world.
The two empresses, Xihe and Chang'e, were about to use their magic power to kill the demon king when they suddenly came to heaven to ask for a meeting with the Great Heavenly Lord, the Dongtian Qing Emperor. Seeing this devil, I couldn't help but be overjoyed. He prayed to the two empresses and said: "With this demon king, I can perfect the Asura Taoism, and hopefully I can prove the Tao and establish a religion. Your Majesty will benefit from your Asura religion, and you can let your Majesty choose someone to share the position of the leader of the Asura religion." ”
The two empresses hesitated for a moment, and then discussed: "The Styx is generous enough to share the position of leader. This merit is also amazingly great, far surpassing that of the deputy leader." <:.|The battleground for killing is the Shura field. , bones fill the field, blood flows into rivers, how can there be any merit? "
Empress Xihe smiled and said: "Can you manage so much? Killing is also within the operation of heaven. Otherwise, how could there be the First Tribulation of Longhan and all kinds of disasters? Give him Nanda Mi Zhe first, and see if there is any merit in the future. This is difficult. Demon King Tuomiza contains His Majesty's evil thoughts of destroying the world, and Qingdi Minghe will help him achieve enlightenment. If Your Majesty is in trouble or asks for help from him in the future, he will not refuse."
After the two empresses finished their discussion, they handed over the demon king Nanda Micha to the Qingdi Minghe. The Qing Emperor thanked him profusely and was overjoyed. He wrapped himself up in Nanda Mija and left. After the demon king Nanda Mi Zha was refined, the Shura teachings of Qingdi finally took shape and became qualified as a leader.
The demon king incarnations of Zhan Tan Merit Buddha and Bodhi Green Lotus can be completely enlightened with Buddhist Dharma, but Taihao God's Dharma cultivation is not as good as theirs, so they can only rely on killing, but killing is not the best way. It is the safest way to hand over Demon King Nanda Micha to the disposal of Qingdi Minghe. If he escapes from the heaven, or his remnant soul reaches the lower world, it will be a disaster that will destroy the world. He is cunning, insidious, bloodthirsty and murderous. Doing all kinds of evil will make him the most powerful demon in the world.
Things are unpredictable. Even a saint does not know what will happen in the future.
During the years when Chan Tan Merit Buddha was suppressed, all living beings in the three realms noticed the crazy changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, surging on a large scale in five directions, and the spiritual energy became increasingly thinner. The first surging direction is the Great Mill of Stars in Heaven, and the second surging direction is the Great Paradise of the West.
The first direction is between the colorful clouds in the sky, the fourth direction is the Great Wilderness Cloud Light Cave, and the fifth direction is the Silence Island in the west.
The spiritual energy consumed by these five places every day is equivalent to the spiritual energy consumed by all the cultivators in Zuzhou and the three hundred continents.
The natural blessed land of cave heaven is becoming increasingly rare, and the innate spiritual energy has collapsed on a large scale and turned into acquired energy, causing hundreds of millions of monks to tremble and panic, wondering what will happen if this continues. If all the spiritual energy in this world is sucked away by the five holy places, then the Ancestral Continent and the Three Hundred Continents will collapse and completely turn into large and small galaxies with no spiritual energy or very little spiritual energy. The line of monks can be said to be cut off.
In the past few decades, as much as 30% of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has been consumed. The cultivators dare not compete with the five holy places. They can only fight among themselves to compete for those heavenly blessed places and places of cultivation. When they were killing each other, they discovered that after the death of the cultivator, the results of their own cultivation would turn into the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and return to the world.
This discovery made everyone extremely happy, so there were constant fights and killings, which made Qingdi Minghe smile with joy, searching for dirty blood, evil spirits and wronged souls everywhere to prepare for his own enlightenment. More and more people believed in Shura Dao, and gradually some people proposed that killing a supreme being or a saint, killing one person, would be equivalent to killing hundreds of millions of living beings. When those saints died, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would suddenly increase.
During this period, Zhenyuan Saint discovered the abnormality of Zuzhou and hurriedly rushed from the edge of the universe to spread the spiritual energy on hand between heaven and earth, barely calming the anger of the cultivators. But this is only a temporary suppression. This contradiction will erupt sooner or later, and then it will be a disaster greater than the Conferred God and the Heaven Defeat.
Since the saints in the two universes of the Earthly Immortal Realm and the Demon Realm have attracted spiritual energy, there has been no great catastrophe of heaven and earth, but another kind of catastrophe has been derived. There are many immortals in the prehistoric world, and the speed of spiritual energy replenishment cannot keep up with the speed of consumption, which leads to the floating of people's hearts, thus generating the catastrophe of people's hearts. .
This catastrophe will involve everyone from saints to common people.
At this time, three great men were born one after another. They were Hunyuan Tianzun, a disciple of Xuandu Saint of the Human Religion. After Taihao God practiced in seclusion and attained enlightenment in his dream, he easily attained the fruit of the Supreme Humanity. Ten years later, Yuanshi Tianzun, a disciple of Yunzhong Saint, attained the fruit of the Supreme Humanity. Ten years later, Lingbao Tianzun, a disciple silently accepted by Duobao Tianzun, attained the fruit of the Supreme Humanity one step ahead of him. Duobao Tianzun announced that the two leaders of Jie Religion were on par with Lingbao Tianzun.
It was inevitable that these three people attained the fruit of the Supreme Humanity. Although they had only one tenth of the great merit of opening the sky, what merit could be higher than this? Not only the fruit of the Supreme Humanity, but also the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, it was easy for them as long as they had the Tao method.
If these three people achieve enlightenment, their power will be even greater than that of the saints who have achieved enlightenment through acquired merits. I am afraid that only the three corpses can restrain them. The Xuandu Saint holds the Tiandi Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, which occupies 50% of the merits of the creation of the world. This treasure is enough to look down on all saints.
In the fortieth year of Taihao God's retreat, four more great men were born one after another, namely Bodhi Taoist, Qinglian Taoist, Emperor Shi Tianwang Buddha, and Ran Deng Buddha. Bodhi, Qinglian, and Emperor Shi Tian exchanged what they had, combined the enlightenment in dreams with various methods, and their magic power increased rapidly, becoming a place that absorbs more spiritual energy than the heaven. In forty years, they finally entered the realm of the great man.
However, the ancient Buddha Ran Deng mixed Buddhism with the great method of enlightenment through extinction, shortening the extinction of Nirvana from a hundred years to once every ten years, forcibly improving his realm, and was reborn from the ashes four times, and finally achieved the fruit of the great man. However, this forced extinction caused his realm to be quite unstable, and his magic power fluctuated. He was the weakest among the sages. The ancient Buddha had the Thirty-three Days Chaos Bell Tower, which made up for the lack of magic power.
When the ancient Buddha Ran Deng turned his eyes to the Hinayana Buddhism, preparing to snatch disciples and kill them to make the spiritual energy more abundant, Jiejiao also set his sights on Qingdi Minghe.
Duobao Tianzun said to Lingbao Tianzun: "The Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Sword Formation Diagram are placed on Qingdi Minghe. It is a disaster after all. It is better to take them in your own hands. In the future, you can use this treasure to prove the Tao, and then help me prove the Tao. We will have two saints in Jiejiao, enough to resist any attack."
Lingbao Tianzun agreed with this. At this time, Minghe was the weakest among all the forces and the easiest to bully. But the magic weapon in his hand was not inferior to the immortal spiritual light, and it had the ability to kill saints. How could it not make people jealous?
However, just when Lingbao Tianzun and Duobao Tianzun were ready to take action, Qingdi Minghe survived the catastrophe. .
