"The eighth saint? Is there a new saint seat vacant?"
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor, the Lord of Heaven, sat on a high throne. He had just received news from above, and the expression on his face was extremely exciting.
While I am worried, I am also looking forward to and excited about it.
The new holy position represents new hope.
Just the four words "Saint of Heaven" can drive people crazy, because only the status of a saint is eternal in the fairy world. If you cannot become a saint, even if you are a quasi-saint, you are just a puppet.
The fairy world is a chessboard, and everyone is a chess piece. Quasi-saints are just the largest chess pieces. In the final analysis, they have not left the chessboard. Only saints can jump out of the three realms and become the real chess player.
Only saints can truly transcend, escape from the natural disasters that always hang over their heads, and seek a wider world.
Under the great calamity, even the quasi-saint will perish.
Haotian will never forget that at the end of the Shang Dynasty, during the Conferred Gods War, the quasi-saint Kong Xuan, who claimed that if the saint did not take action, Kong Xuan could walk sideways, was eventually led away by the saint like a mount.
If you don't become a saint, you will be at the mercy of others.
Although he has a background in Lord Haotian and Daozu Hongjun has a deep relationship with him, but then again, if you rely on others, they will run away, and if you rely on mountains, the mountains will fall. In the end, it is better to rely on yourself.
No matter how powerful Daozu Hongjun is, it is not as good as becoming a saint yourself and seeing with your own eyes the glory of sitting on the throne of a saint.
Haotian stood up and said to the group of immortals in the Heavenly Court below, "Pass on my decree. From today on, I will be in seclusion, cultivating arduously and comprehending the Great Dao. The affairs of the Three Realms will be managed by the Great Emperor of the North Pole, Ziwei, assisted by the Four Heavenly Masters."
Haotian's figure disappeared on the seat of the Lord of the Three Realms in the Lingxiao Palace. All the ministers in the Lingxiao Palace were stunned. They obviously didn't react to why the Jade Emperor suddenly went into seclusion. Is something big going to happen?
In Lingxiao Palace, Nezha had a strange expression on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
Next to Nezha, Tota-Bearing Heavenly King Li exchanged glances with the Four Heavenly Kings not far away, and everything was said without words.
In Heaven, the Jade Emperor suddenly announced that he would go into seclusion. This was definitely a big event, and it was something that had never happened before.
On the surface, Tota-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing is loyal to the Heavenly Court, but in fact he was enlightened by the Buddhist Buddha Dipankara to become an immortal. Dipankara Buddha was very kind to him, so Li Jing is naturally a Buddhist.
As a spy planted by Buddhism in Heaven, how could he not inform Buddhism immediately about such a big thing?
After leaving the court, Li Jing immediately contacted the Buddhist Buddha Dipankara and informed him of the matter.
However, after using magic to contact for a long time, there was no news from Randeng, and Li Tianwang was confused.
Seeing that he failed to contact Randang, Li Tianwang turned to contact Guanyin Bodhisattva, but there was no response from Guanyin either.
Buddha Tathagata, Samantabhadra, Manjushri, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva...
These great Buddhist masters were usually very active in gathering information from Heaven, but for some reason today, there was no response when Li Jing tried to contact them.
Li Jing tried to contact anyone for a long time but couldn't find anyone. However, he saw Nezha coming out from the South Heaven Gate. Seeing Li Jing secretly using magic to communicate with others, he naturally knew what Li Jing was doing.
Nezha sneered, "Some people, on the surface, appear majestic and awe-inspiring, wearing the official uniforms of Heaven and receiving Heaven's salary, but they actually engage in shady and dishonest activities. Don't you agree, Li Tianwang?"
Li Jing's face turned stern, and he shouted, "Rebellious son, what did you say?"
Nezha: "Who am I calling a rebellious son? You and I are no longer father and son. I am the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly in the Heavenly Court, Li Tianwang. I call my title at work, so don't try to be related to me."
Li Jing still hasn't figured out what's going on in Buddhism and why all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have suddenly gone offline. How could he have the time to argue with Nezha?
Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go, don't get in the way here."
Nezha was a rebellious person, and the two of them had been at odds for a long time. This matter had been going on for so many years without any result. Li Jing didn't want to argue with him and asked him to leave as soon as possible and not get in the way.
Nezha is the type of person who would be happy to see Li Jing being humiliated. He knew what Li Jing was doing here, so he deliberately stayed there.
"Why? Did you, Li Tianwang, open the Nantianmen Gate? I'm also the Marshal of Heaven. Can't I be here?"
Li Jing was furious and raised the exquisite pagoda in his hand: "Let's go."
Nezha was humiliated, and Ran Deng forced him to recognize the pagoda as his father. Li Jing ordered him to leave with the pagoda in his hand. Nezha could only shake his head and leave.
However, Nezha swore in his heart that he would make Li Jing pay the price sooner or later.
And there is that old bald donkey, Ran Deng, who regards the pagoda as his father. How ridiculous! He would be a coward if he doesn't take revenge for this. But it's a pity that he is not strong enough now and cannot defeat the old thief, Ran Deng. The strength of the quasi-saint is still too terrifying.
Nezha has practiced hard until now, and although he has reached the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, he is still far from being a Quasi-Saint, so he can only endure it.
…
Li Jing tried to contact the Buddhist sect again at Nantianmen for a while, but there was still no response. He couldn't help but wonder if something had happened in the Buddhist sect.
However, in fact, something did happen in Buddhism, which was why Li Jing could not contact the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism.
That's because the top Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in Buddhism, all those who have cultivated to the level of Daluo Jinxian and above, especially the quasi-saints, have basically all gone into seclusion to practice hard, just like the Jade Emperor, who suddenly announced their seclusion.
Some people in the Buddhist community were also confused and didn't know what had happened at the top.
But only those at the top know what is meant.
The above means that the Taoist ancestor said that there may be an eighth saint in the future. The meaning of what the saints passed down above is to let them go and find out who is most likely to become the eighth saint in the current fairy world.
But obviously, the six saints above underestimated the desire of these disciples below for the sainthood.
When they heard that the eighth saint had appeared, the ancestors and quasi-saints of the fairy world went crazy and did not understand what the saints meant at all.
What the saints meant was that they should find out who could become the eighth saint. When this news reached their ears, it automatically translated into: the sainthood was vacant, and there was someone in the fairy world who could become the eighth transcendent saint. Guess who it could be.
These quasi-saints have accumulated experience over countless years. To become a quasi-saint, who doesn’t have great luck and great supernatural powers?
Quasi-saints are the most powerful beings in the world. Who doesn't have some skills? Who would think that they are inferior to others besides saints?
Let’s not talk about anything else. Even within the Buddhist community, although there are many strong people, although they appear to be harmonious on the surface, now that the Holy Throne is in front of them, no one will give in to anyone else.
As soon as the Buddhist giants such as Tathagata, Dipankara and Ksitigarbha heard that there was a new opportunity to become a saint, they immediately went into seclusion and practiced hard. They all wanted to increase their strength to the peak and face the great opportunities that were coming in the future with the best attitude.
Not only the Tathagatas, but also some great masters who have attained the Bodhisattva status such as Guanyin Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva also secretly went into seclusion.
Although their strength is not as great as that of Tathagata, Dipankara, and Ksitigarbha, as the saying goes: The emperor takes turns to sit on the throne, and it will be my turn next year.
If you don’t try, how do you know if there is a chance?
The holy position has just appeared, it is not confirmed, so we just think, what if?
Even the future Buddha Maitreya, who is usually the most cheerful and cheerful among Buddhists and always talks about "not competing", "not grabbing" and "not being greedy", is also in seclusion and practicing hard to adjust his state and compete for the illusory eighth holy position, right?
He says he won't fight or compete, but that's because he never had the chance to compete. Now that he has the chance, let's see if he will compete for it.
There was a reason why Li Jing couldn't contact anyone. The quasi-saint was in seclusion, and even some Daluo who knew the inside story had quietly gone into seclusion. Who would care about such a thing?
And it's not just Buddhism and heaven.
The same is true among the three religions, including all the quasi-saints and Daluo.
As long as there was a little bit of hope, after hearing that the eighth saint might appear, everyone felt that they were the son of destiny and had the hope of taking the sainthood, so they all went into seclusion.
There is unprecedented peace in the fairy world.
…
Lu Yuan had just broken through to the Golden Immortal level and had digested a bunch of rewards from the system. He had no idea that his breakthrough to the Golden Immortal level would cause such a big commotion outside.
However, just as he came out of seclusion, he received a message from Prince Lotus of the Chan Sect, who asked Lu Yuan to meet privately because he had something important to say.
Lu Yuan looked at the message from Prince Lotus, pondered for a moment, and decided to go and meet him.
The first time I dealt with Prince Lotus was in the Qingtian World. At that time, Prince Lotus was a man who had come down from the upper realm to reincarnate and cultivate in order to avoid natural disasters.
This person's status in the Chan sect is not low, but not particularly high either. He has some connections but they are not particularly powerful, which is a rather awkward position.
He went to the Qingtian World to avoid disaster, thinking that he was from the upper realm and wanted to act tyrannically in the Qingtian World. However, he unexpectedly met the cheating Lu Yuan, and was taught a lesson clearly.
Later, before ascending to heaven, Prince Lotus came to pay a private visit to Lu Yuan. After this traitor was taught a lesson by Lu Yuan, his traitorous nature could no longer be hidden.
When they met privately in the Qingtian World, this guy actually said that he wanted to quit the Chan Sect and join the Ren Sect instead. He also hoped that Lu Yuan would guide him and give him a chance.
Because this guy felt that the Qingtian world had been transformed too well by Lu Yuan and was too idealistic, he felt that human education had more prospects based on his limited experience.
Anyway, there was not much future for him to stay in the Chan Sect, so he might as well take a chance and turn the bicycle into a motorcycle. At that time, Lu Yuan didn't know what to say and did not agree to his request. He just asked him to think it over carefully.
Because Lu Yuan himself was not a person who could be taught by others, it was even more impossible for him to agree to do important things for others casually.
But it seems that this guy really wants to join the People's Education Press, and he came here again this time.
However, this time, Prince Lotus conveyed that there was something important to discuss in private, and it seemed quite serious, so it should be a big deal, so Lu Yuan made an appointment to meet him at the Hualong Tower.
In the past, Lu Yuan would not have come to Hualong Tower to eat, after all, the food here was too expensive. But now it is different. The amount of immortal crystals that King Jinjiao has earned from selling Xuanxian Five Qi Liquid over the years has reached an astronomical figure. Lu Yuan is no longer short of money, so coming here to meet him is also a way to give face to Prince Lianhua.
After all, the other party had something important to discuss with him, saying that he had important information about the Chan Sect, so he had to give him some formality.
Not long after Lu Yuan arrived at Hualong Tower, Prince Lianhua arrived and was led to the private room by the waiter of Hualong Tower.
After he entered the private room, Lu Yuan opened the isolation array of the private room. In addition, he set up another isolation array just in case.
Then Lu Yuan asked him to sit down.
Although Prince Lotus is a disciple of the Chan Sect, the cost of the Hualong Tower is too high for him, so he usually can't afford to come here.
I didn't expect that Senior Lu would actually make an appointment to meet him here this time. It really gives him face.
Prince Lotus became more polite because at this moment he found that Lu Yuan's cultivation was becoming more and more terrifying. It had only been a few years since they last met, but Senior Lu's aura had risen to a level that he could not understand.
This must at least be Taiyi Xuanxian, right?
When Prince Lotus reached the peak of his cultivation, he was only a Xuanxian. Not to mention that he has now reincarnated and started cultivating again. Although it has been nearly ten thousand years since he returned to the fairyland, his strength has only just recovered to its peak.
How could the Lotus Prince of Xuanxian see through the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal?
Prince Lianhua was genuinely curious and asked, "Senior Lu, may I ask what your current realm is?"
Lu Yuan didn't hide it and said directly: "Golden Immortal."
There is no need to hide your realm. It is useless to hide it from those who are weaker than you, because they will not be able to understand it even if you hide it.
The other party can almost tell at a glance that they are stronger than him, and now they are all Golden Immortals anyway, so Lu Yuan has nothing to be afraid of and simply stops pretending.
When Prince Lotus heard this, he took a deep breath.
This is the Golden Immortal. It seems that my guess was right. This Senior Lu is indeed a great man in the Human Sect. Maybe he is a clone, or he may be reincarnated. But I am sure that my guess is right.
After all, how could a normal cultivator achieve such a fast cultivation speed? Isn't this ridiculous? No one understands cultivation better than him.
Prince Lotus expressed his admiration and flattered him.
Lu Yuan didn't have the patience to listen anymore. He hadn't asked Prince Lianhua here today to listen to his flattery. He simply asked directly: "You told me you had important news to tell me, what is it?"
Hearing Lu Yuan get straight to the point, Prince Lotus's expression became serious and he temporarily stopped flattering.
He said, "Senior Lu, I actually just learned this news, and the source of the news is not legitimate, it can be regarded as gossip.
"However! Although it was just gossip, I later asked a few close elders of my Chan Sect for indirect information and can basically confirm that the news is true."
This guy went around in circles in his words, just to tell Lu Yuan that this news was hard-won, and he had spent a lot of time to check it out before confirming it.
Lu Yuan said, "Tell me, what's the news?"
Prince Lianhua's face was serious as he spoke the news word for word: "Senior Lu, the Jade Emperor of Heaven is in seclusion."
Lu Yuan: “???”
For a moment, Lu Yuan thought he had heard wrongly.
Before I came, this guy said it was some important news. But after I got here, I spent a lot of fairy crystals to book a private room, which was enough to give him face. But you come here and tell me this?
What does the Jade Emperor of Heaven's seclusion have to do with me?
He's a quasi-saint, so who cares if he likes to retreat into seclusion? What's the big deal?
Are you here to get free food and drinks?
Just as Lu Yuan's face darkened, Prince Lotus quickly added, "It's not just the Jade Emperor. Most of the well-known gods in Heaven, with strength above the Golden Immortal level, are in seclusion.
The same is true in Buddhism. Almost all the famous quasi-saints are in seclusion, and some Golden Immortals are also practicing hard in secret.
It’s the same in my Chan sect, the top leaders are basically invisible.”
If it was just the Jade Emperor in seclusion, it wouldn't be a big deal at all, but the problem was that all the famous Daluo and Quasi-Sages in the Immortal Realm were in seclusion and refused to come out.
There's obviously something big going on here.
Lu Yuan became interested after hearing what he said.
So, what did you find out? (End of this chapter)
