The Way of the Prehistoric World

"Old Taoist, who did you think came to visit? Unexpectedly, it is Taoist Fellow Five Elements. I haven't seen you for a long time. Is your Taoist friend okay? Please come to the palace quickly to talk!"

Perhaps he was in retreat just now, but Taoist Hongjun showed up later than Mei Zihan expected. After he showed up, he hurriedly welcomed the three of them into the Zixiao Palace.

As for Gaia and Ni Funa beside Mei Zihan, Master Hongjun discovered their existence at the first moment. However, seeing that his old friend did not take the initiative to introduce them, he did not ask first.

Just by looking at them a few times, Daozu Hongjun noticed that the total amount of incomparable divine power in the two people's bodies was not inferior to his alone, but was actually much greater than it was. This shocked him.

When you reach the level of Hongjun, you naturally know that in the chaotic world, there are hundreds of millions of cultivation paths, and there are completely different classification standards between them. Even at the same level, the combat power will be very different.

However, these cultivators have one thing in common, that is, their realm determines their cultivation, and their cultivation determines their magic power. Just from the majestic magic power in Gaia and Nifuna's bodies, it is certain that the opponent must have no less than the late Heavenly Dao. of cultivation.

When Hongjun was observing Gaia and Ni Funa, they were also secretly sizing up the old Taoist in front of them. To be precise, only the Mother Goddess of Earth could examine each other like Hongjun did.

As for Ni Funa, whose mind is not yet fully mature, the curiosity in her eyes far exceeds the scrutiny.

After a moment of perception, the Mother Goddess of the Earth was sure in her heart that the old Taoist with a slovenly beard in front of her was a strong man of the same level as herself. Furthermore, from him, she found a strong aura of heaven, so he must be the spokesman of heaven in the ancient times. .

If the eldest brother Ao had never died. The current identity should be the same as the other party, but I don’t know that it is intersected with Chaos, so why not choose to transform into the Chaos Demon God? Could it be that Chaos didn't agree? For this reason Gaia asked Mei Zihan with her eyes.

Mei Zihan nodded slightly at this. Then he hurriedly followed Master Hongjun and entered the Zixiao Palace. Ni Funa, who had seen the ancient palace buildings for the first time, kept looking around with her small eyes. If her brother and sister hadn't been present, she might have started knocking down bricks and tiles in order to study it.

It wasn't until Gaia and Ni Funa followed Mei Zihan and Hongjun's example and sat down on the futon, Mei Zihan introduced to Hongjun: "Everyone who came with Pindao this time. The supreme god from the other side of the world, that is, the great wilderness, the elder is called the Mother Goddess of the Earth Gaia, and the younger is called the Goddess of Life Nifuna.”

After saying that, he introduced Hongjun to the two masters: "The other party is the spokesperson of Heavenly Dao in the prehistoric times. He can be called Hongjun Daozu, or His Highness Hongjun."

After the three of them met, Mei Zihan asked Hongjun about the changes in the wilderness after he left. The Taoist ancestor said: "When my Taoist friends left. After the way of heaven was severely damaged, the way of heaven was no longer there for some reason." At first, the old Taoist thought that it was due to his own injuries. However, after the recovery of Heavenly Dao, he did not provoke another great war like before. "

"Without the calculations of Heaven, the ancient world has always been relatively stable. However, Buddhism has become more and more prosperous in recent years, suppressing the three disciples of Lao Tao to the point where they can hardly breathe."

Long before Mei Zihan left. With the secret support of Heavenly Dao, Buddhism had the foundation for its great prosperity. And because of the journey to the west, not only did the great religion directly add two quasi-sages. He also ordered Guanyin Bodhisattva to kill another corpse and become the top powerhouse in the ancient world.

Except for Tang Monk and Guanyin, all Buddhists who participated in the Westward Journey have obtained some acquired merits and have made great progress in their cultivation. Under such circumstances, it is understandable that Taoism will flourish and squeeze the space of Taoism. of.

Compared with Buddhism, apart from the sharp internal conflicts, the three Taoist religions are also at a disadvantage in terms of the number of followers. As for their cultivation, because they are not biased by the way of heaven, they also lag behind the great powers of Buddhism.

Since saints cannot be born at will, the quantity and quality of quasi-sages within a great religion have become an important weight to measure the strength of the sect. In this aspect, Buddhism has left the three Taoist religions far behind. Even if the three It would be slightly worse if the religions united.

This is what troubles Hongjun the most. Being suppressed by the sect founded by his original disciple, he has undoubtedly lost his face.

"Buddhism was once subverted by Wutian, so why can it continue to suppress Xuanmen?"

The demon sect subverted Buddhism because of what Mei Zihan saw in his previous life. This life is still happening in the ancient world. Less than a calamity after he left, the demon ancestor Wutian in the West joined forces with his original colleagues Brahma and Shiva to take advantage of the saint's inability to enter the world. On this occasion, he subverted Buddhism in one fell swoop and almost overturned the great religion.

Since it has been subverted, its strength must have been greatly damaged. How could it be as prosperous as it is now?

I saw Taoist Hongjun sighing softly, and then replied: "Demon Ancestor Wutian tried to subvert Buddhism, and was noticed by Tiandao, Jieyin, and Zhunti long ago, so the two Westerners set up a terrible situation, causing Wutian, Brahma and The three Shivas fell into the trap, and in the end, except for the three quasi-sages who were seriously injured and escaped, most of the other demon cultivators were destroyed by Buddhism. With the merit of destroying demons, Buddhism gave birth to several quasi-sages one after another."

Ever since Luo Hu led the Great Dao before his death and founded the prehistoric Demonic Path, the Dao and the demons have been in conflict with each other. Demonic cultivators can devour and refine righteous cultivators to quickly enhance their cultivation, and righteous cultivators can also gain corresponding benefits by killing demonic cultivators. Merit, use it as a help.

Originally, Wutian, Brahma, and Shiva were all in their respective caves. Even if Buddhists were willing, it would be difficult for them to break through the base camp of demon cultivators. Even if they could succeed, the price they would have to pay would be very high, which can be said to hurt the enemy. Thousands, self-destruction of eight hundred, so the great power of Buddhism has not yet moved.

After learning that the three Demon Ancestors were plotting to subvert Buddhism, the Second Sage of the West simply lured the snake out of its hole and made Buddhism pretend to be defeated, thereby attracting many demon cultivators out of the Western Wilderness and Southwest Wilderness. Finally, they launched a massive counterattack and decided the outcome in one battle.

After this battle, not only was Buddhism's strength not greatly damaged, but with the merit of killing demon cultivators, it gained a few more quasi-sages, and also gained the two territories of the Western Wilderness and the Southwest Wilderness.

It should be noted that since the battle of the ferocious beast, the only intact places on the prehistoric continent are Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniuhezhou, Nanzhanbuzhou, Xihuang, Southwest Huang, Nanhuang, Southeast Huang, Donghuang and Northeast Huang.

After Buddhism dominated Xiniuhezhou, Xihuang and Southwesthuang, its strength began to grow rapidly. In addition, during the journey to the west, Buddhism was widely spread in a small half of Dongsheng Shenzhou and most of Nanzhanbuzhou. Together, they account for half of the ancient continent.

With such a large territory and many powerful quasi-sages, generally speaking, there is almost no possibility of Buddhism declining.

However, the power of Buddhism was not what Mei Zihan wanted to see. He casually took out some innate merits and handed them to Hongjun's hands: "These scattered merits are obtained by a poor Taoist in his spare time. Fellow Taoists can The mixed prehistoric origins are transformed into acquired merits for the use of the three religions.”

When Mei Zihan did not deliberately obtain innate merits, due to some actions, Mei Zihan also collected scattered merits. The total amount was less than 20%. If he mixed it with the origin of the world, he might be able to achieve more than half of the acquired merits.

The acquired merits and virtues in the ancient world were under the jurisdiction of heaven. Because of its bias in favor of the acquired saints, the Buddhism founded by the acquired saints, Guiding and Zhunti, made the other party as prosperous as it is now.

Once these merits given by Mei Zihan are transformed into acquired merits, they will be enough to become more than ten quasi-sages. It is also unknown whether this can be used to reverse the unfavorable situation of Xuanmen.

This is the limit of what he can do. The innate merits of the ingredients can be used to make his disciples and descendants saints. He is very lacking now and cannot easily use them on the monks of the three religions.

"Thank you, fellow Taoist Five Elements!"

Taoist Hongjun received the innate merits and expressed a burst of gratitude. Don't think of him as a Taoist, but in fact he didn't have much merit, and the total amount may not be as good as what Mei Zihan gave him in one go.

After obtaining these merits, as long as they make good use of them, they will surely be able to reverse the unfavorable situation of Xuanmen. At the worst, they can also curb the continued expansion of Buddhism, Hongjun thought in his heart.

On the other hand, Mei Zihan, who had given away innate merits, was currently thinking about how to beat Pangu's autumn wind. Before the Great Wilderness destroyed itself and opened up a big world for himself, his greatest source of innate merits was Pangu.

The last time he entered the wilderness with his spiritual thoughts, he gave away dozens of innate merits. Unfortunately, it took too much to become a saint, otherwise there would be no need to ask for it from the other party.

There was a saying in my previous life: If you come out to fool around, you will eventually have to pay back! No matter how much he got from Pangu, he would definitely need to repay it one by one in the future.

"Forget it, let's just borrow it!"

Mei Zihan sighed in her heart. Without borrowing innate merits from Pangu, it would be impossible for several disciples to become saints in the three ways.

It should be noted that for the Chaos Demon God, every great realm is a natural chasm, which cannot be easily broken through without the help of long-term accumulation and great opportunities.

Ever since Mei Zihan successfully refined the Shenyuan Pill based on his faith and mixed heavenly materials and earthly treasures, he gave most of them to several generations of disciples. After that, the cultivation of Earth Ling and others began to grow rapidly and steadily. The improvement has reached the limit below the Heavenly Dao stage several kalpas ago.

Several disciples of the first generation of Chaos Island are currently subject to the bottleneck of the peak of the late Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal. They have never been able to go further and break through to the early stage of Heavenly Dao, even though they have all become saints together in three ways, and then realized a little of the Heavenly Dao stage. Realm has not been able to loosen the bottleneck.

With the experience of becoming a saint in three ways, it is still difficult to break through to the Heavenly Dao stage. If several disciples miss this opportunity, it will be even more difficult to advance to the Heavenly Dao stage in the future.

This is the difference between the re-cultivation and the first cultivation. Before the immeasurable kalpas, Mei Zihan spent millions of kalpas of effort before he could break through to the Heavenly Dao stage. However, since the re-cultivation, only a few kalpas have passed. , he has returned to the Tiandao stage, and has gone one step further, breaking through to the middle stage of Tiandao.

If you can finally get that treasure-level spiritual root, and if you can open up a big world, I believe you can break through the Chaos Period by then. Only then can you be called a powerful person among the Chaos Demon Gods.

Through Pangu's mouth, Mei Zihan had already known that there was a huge gap between cultivation before and after the Chaos Stage. However, when he was about to ask in detail, Pangu only smiled slightly: "When my dear brother breaks through the Chaos Stage, , naturally you can know.” (To be continued)
