Honghuang: Oh no, the Witch Clan Chief has lost his mind!

Chapter 220 Making a mistake in the lower realm to get on the list?!

Lao Tzu nodded slowly upon hearing this and said:

"The fate of the human race is related to the future and should not be taken lightly."

However, if we forcefully apply pressure, it will likely backfire.

We have already sent disciples to try it out!

We might be able to assist the Emperor in governing, protecting the borders and ensuring the safety of the people, and also gain the reputation of passing on our skills.

Then, select suitable disciples from the Xuanmen sect to descend to the mortal realm and make contact with the human race.

Demonstrating divine methods and benevolence, subtly influencing,

Let's proceed slowly and methodically.

When the time is right, the results will be revealed on the Investiture of the Gods.

After saying this, Lao Tzu thought to himself,

My previous plan failed!

But that was simply a matter of bad timing; I wasn't adequately prepared!

Try it again now, and it will definitely work!

Tongtian listened to the words of his two elder brothers and Haotian.

His brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

He finally understood what was going on with the Investiture of the Gods.

It seems that it's not just about filling celestial positions.

It also implies a struggle with the underworld for the fate of the human race.

It may even be an excuse to allow the Xuanmen forces to intervene in human affairs.

This conflicts somewhat with his philosophy of teaching without discrimination and letting nature take its course.

"Brother, Haotian!"

Tongtian couldn't help but speak up.

"Since the human race has already chosen its own path..."

Why should we force it?

As for disciples of the Xuanmen sect descending to the mortal realm, if they sincerely wish to impart their skills and protect the people and the land, then there is nothing wrong with it.

But if one relies on such things, it becomes a contest for fortune.

Interfering with the operation of the human race,

After all, it's not the right path, and it will still be tainted by karma.

This is bad for the Investiture of the Gods!

Seeing that the atmosphere in Zixiao Palace was a bit tense,

The group was arguing without any regard for the relationship between humans and the underground world.

Yaochi, standing to the side, suddenly spoke up weakly:

"Holy Ones!"

I don't mean to deny your point of view!

I just wanted to point out that the human race seems to have quite a few connections with the underworld.

We want to plan for the fate and prosperity of the human race.

We'd better think this through carefully!

Upon hearing this, the group all glared at Yaochi with hostility.

Heart Road:

"You don't need to tell me that!"

The human race's Fengshan ceremony was such a grand event; apart from the two of you, the entire prehistoric world was filled with such activity.

Who doesn't know that?!

"If you can't beat them, can't you at least gain some verbal advantage?!"

The group glanced at Yaochi and then ignored her.

Anyway, the main target this time isn't the human race!

This whole ordeal left Yaochi in a very awkward position.

And they dared not say anything more!

Then Yuanshi glanced at Tongtian.

His tone immediately turned cold!

"Junior Brother Tongtian, you are a disciple of the Jie Sect, known for the 'ten thousand immortals paying homage' tradition."

But they were mostly furry, horned, and hatched from eggs in a wet environment.

The roots of knowledge are shallow, but the causes and effects are profound.

Now that a great calamity is about to begin, it is necessary to cleanse the karma of these sins.

Let them descend to the mortal realm to accumulate merit, or guide the human race.

This is both their opportunity and...

This could also alleviate some of the calamities for the Jie Sect.

Junior brother, do you only want to protect those unfilial disciples under your tutelage?

"And disregarding the overall situation of the Xuanmen sect and the order of Heaven?"

Yuanshi's words were a bit harsh.

It directly points out that the Tongtian sect is lax in its discipline, and that many of its followers are destined for calamity.

It also subtly implied that he disregarded the overall situation.

Tongtian was stunned when he heard this!

"???"

"What's going on?!"

Aren't you brothers discussing how to plot against the human race right now?!

How did this get dragged into my name, Jie Jiao?!

And what do you mean by saying I'm protecting those wicked disciples under my wing?!

"If I don't protect my own disciple, why would I protect yours?!"

With a puzzled look on his face, Tongtian asked:

"What do you mean by that, Second Brother?"

Our Jie Sect teaches without discrimination, and all beings are equal.

The disciples may come from various backgrounds.

But they are also people who are devoted to the Tao and have accumulated great merit!

How can an elder brother refer to all of them as "wicked children"?

As for what my second brother said about being tainted by karma...

This is the supply for those who practice cultivation.

Who doesn't have some karma to live by?

In this case,

Then wouldn't the disciples under your elder brother's tutelage also benefit from this great calamity?

To sever the ties of cause and effect, and to attain enlightenment and see one's true nature!

"snort!"

After Tongtian finished speaking, he waved his sleeve and turned his head away.

I don't want to see my brother even once more!

As the two men's tone became increasingly confrontational,

Having understood the reason, Lao Tzu coughed lightly.

He interrupted their argument, saying:

"Once the Investiture of the Gods is issued, the calamity will be determined."

Who makes the list and when they make it are all matters of chance and destiny.

You can't force it, and you can't avoid it either.

As teachers, we should plan for our students and guide them to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune.

But in the end,

It still depends on one's own foundation, merits, and destiny.

His words seemed to show neutrality, neither favoring either side.

However, the conversation had already been subtly steered towards the level of disciples from the three religions.

This implies that those on the list should primarily come from the disciples of the three religions.

And it also depends on each person's abilities!

Seeing this, Hongjun slowly spoke, delivering the final blow with his hammer:

"At this moment, the phantom image of the Investiture of the Gods has already appeared, and the aura of calamity has begun to stir."

This calamity will primarily affect you, the disciples of the three religions.

The affairs of the human race concern destiny and even involve the underworld.

This may be considered at the discretion of the authorities.

Those who make the list need to have a solid foundation.

Those who lack sufficient merit or whose karmic entanglements are difficult to resolve.

True spirits were listed and appointed as righteous gods of the Heavenly Court.

It is another kind of spiritual attainment.

In the future, they can enjoy incense offerings and attain longevity.

To assist the Heavenly Court and maintain order.

His gaze was deep as he swept over the Three Pure Ones and continued:

"You may discuss and draft a list yourselves first."

It also allows disciples to undergo trials and tribulations based on their own opportunities.

When the tribulation is complete, the true spirits will return to their rightful places, and the divine duties will be fulfilled.

As for the human race... Lao Tzu said it should be done gradually and subtly, step by step.

This is a good strategy.

However, it had already failed once before.

This time, we must send disciples with upright character and skill in teaching to the mortal realm.

I don't want my contact with humans to end in vain again!

The argument between Hongjun and the others continued incessantly until it abruptly ended.

The tune is given:

First, the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods mainly occurred among the three disciples.

Secondly, for the human race, things need to be done slowly, but we must see results.

Third, being on the list is not necessarily a bad thing; it is a "positive outcome."

Yuanshi and Laozi had already made their decision, and then bowed and said:

"I will obey the teacher's instructions."

Although Tongtian also bowed to his teacher,

But the feeling that something was wrong grew stronger.

The great eon should be among the disciples of the three religions?

Do we still need to draft a list?

Although the teacher said "it all depends on fate,"

But the thoughtful expressions on Yuanshi Tianzun and Laozi's faces... do they already know something?

Or what are you planning to do?

After the meeting concluded, the Three Pure Ones took their leave and exited the Zixiao Palace.

Outside the palace, chaotic currents surged. The three exchanged glances.

There was silence for a moment.

However, before proceeding further,

Lao Tzu suddenly said to Yuan Shi:

"Second brother, I have suddenly had an epiphany and need to return to the Eight Views Palace to meditate."

The affairs of humanity are of paramount importance, requiring a solid foundation and virtuous character.

Only disciples who are good at getting along with ordinary people can be qualified for this position.

My sect only has Xuandu, and I fear it will be difficult to take care of everyone.

I wonder if my second brother has any suitable candidates among his disciples?

Or perhaps... a disciple of Tongtian Junior Brother,

A gathering of immortals

Can anyone recommend someone?

Yuanshi narrowed his eyes and immediately understood, then continued:

"What you say is absolutely right, elder brother."

My disciples, who expound the teachings, all value spiritual cultivation and uphold the precepts.

However, most of them are not well-versed in worldly affairs and have difficulty interacting with humans.

I'm afraid I'm not good at it.

However, among the disciples of the Jie Sect, many had unusual backgrounds.

They have quite a few ties with the human race.

Moreover, many of them are quite resourceful.

Perhaps it will be easier to contact and educate humans!

only……"

He looked at Tongtian and said in a very "sincere" tone,

"However, the disciples of the Jie Sect are of varying quality, and their karma is in a chaotic mess. It would be premature for them to descend to the mortal realm."

If you make a mistake

I'm afraid it won't be able to guide the human race.

On the contrary, it will bring more calamities to the Jie Sect.

Junior brothers should carefully select and strictly supervise their selections.

Tongtian listened to the two of them singing in harmony.

The anger in my heart flared up again.

What does that mean?

When it comes to dirty, tiring, or risky jobs, you think of my Jie Sect?

It also implied that my disciples were prone to causing trouble?

What are they trying to do?

Are they planning to wait for them to make mistakes in the mortal realm so they can be listed on the leaderboard?!
