Qiongxiao knew that Lu Hengge was very bold.
But she certainly couldn't have imagined that what Lu Hengge was about to do would constantly push the boundaries of her understanding.
Why are you three schools of Taoism gathered here?
Lu Henge asked.
Logically speaking...
The three schools of Renjiao, Jiejiao, and Chanjiao each have their own principal positions, and under normal circumstances, they do not gather together.
certainly.
Taoism must have a headquarters.
The purpose of this headquarters is to provide a fixed location for the three religions to meet, and it also serves as a place for sacrificial rites.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is the headquarters of Taoism.
In other words...
This is not the place of the pope of the three religions.
Upon hearing this...
Qiongxiao replied softly, "If there are no unforeseen circumstances, this period should be the time for Taoism to promote its leader and accept disciples."
"According to past practice, the three religions need to gather together to worship the Supreme Heavenly Venerable before accepting disciples."
“In the past, the annual sacrifices were held at the headquarters, but starting from the last few eras, the sacrifices have been taken over by the three religions in rotation. This year it is the turn of the Jie Sect.”
Sacrifice?
Taking on apprentices?
Lu Henge never expected that he would come at such a good time.
Normally, he would have to go to each one individually, which would take up a lot of time.
but.
Lu Henge noticed a detail: who was the Supreme Celestial Venerable that Qiongxiao mentioned?
Who is the Supreme Celestial Venerable?
Lu Henge had a guess in his mind.
Qiongxiao answered quickly as always: "Ancestor Hongjun".
Although Hongjun, as the master of the three Heavenly Venerables, has been missing for many years, all the necessary procedures must still be followed.
after all.
Hongjun has simply disappeared, not died.
Lu Henge felt a strong sense of crisis.
His current fighting strength is so great that he struggles even to deal with the three Heavenly Venerables of Taoism. If Hongjun happens to return to Taoism at this time...
I can't even imagine!
Lu Hengge shook his head, realizing that his plan should be made sooner rather than later.
Hongjun was a true progenitor, and his combat power was no less than that of the Demon God, and was even more terrifying than the Demon God.
Only when Lu Henge is able to defeat the Demon God will he have the right to act arrogantly in front of Hongjun.
But unfortunately.
Constrained by the Ancestral Lock, Lu Henge could only cultivate to the half-step Ancestral Realm at most.
"no."
"This ancestral lock must be unlocked."
Lu Henge was resolute.
The legendary book of creation prophecy must be obtained.
Lu Henge quipped, "According to your Taoist standards for accepting disciples, am I qualified to become a Taoist disciple?"
Qiongxiao glanced at Lu Hengge: "Yes."
"But your fate after joining Taoism won't be good. Before you, there was someone very similar to you."
"who?"
"Jiang Ziya".
Qiongxiao's voice was very soft, but to Lu Henge, it sounded like a thunderclap in a clear sky.
Qiongxiao continued, "What you and Jiang Ziya have in common is that you are both proficient in everything and can do everything. If we put aside your grudges, you will be just like Jiang Ziya, and you will be fought over by the three religions."
"You will be recruited by the Human Sect because of your superb alchemy skills, but after you enter the Human Sect, you will find that you can't learn anything else besides alchemy. So you will switch to the Intercepting Sect. The Intercepting Sect's doctrine of teaching without discrimination will allow you to live a relatively comfortable life for a while, but you will find another problem, the same problem as the Human Sect, that is, you can't learn anything else besides formations."
Qiongxiao shook her head.
In this world, alchemy and formations are ultimately external things.
You can use them as tools, but they should never be your primary focus of practice.
certainly.
The disciples of both the Human Sect and the Intercepting Sect are well aware of this.
But they had no choice.
The requirements for selecting disciples were the lowest in the Human Sect, followed by the Intercepting Sect. Being able to join the Human Sect or the Intercepting Sect was already a great fortune, and one dared not even dream of joining the Chan Sect.
"If you're lucky, you'll join the Chan Sect."
Qiongxiao's words were referring to the path Jiang Ziya had walked.
Lu Henge quipped, "Wouldn't that make me a slave to three masters?"
Qiongxiao tilted her head and thought for a moment, then replied in the same mocking tone, "In layman's terms, what's wrong with being a dog for Taoism? So many people want to be dogs, but none of them are worthy."
Lu Henge shrugged.
That's the truth.
Regardless of Lu Henge's impression of Taoism, it cannot be denied that Taoism is an existence that countless people cannot reach.
How is Jiang Ziya now?
Lu Henge was quite curious.
He knew Jiang Ziya quite well, after all, Jiang Ziya was the first person to hold the imperial edict pen, and he could learn a lot about Jiang Ziya from the edict pen.
"After the Investiture of the Gods ceremony, he left Taoism and found a place to live in seclusion."
"To put it more politely, he left voluntarily, but anyone with eyes can see that he was no longer of any value to Taoism."
It's better to leave with dignity than to be kicked out.
actually.
Jiang Ziya was inherently incompatible with the Chan Sect.
His calm and unassuming personality was too out of place in the self-proclaimed arrogant and conceited Chan Sect.
Cultivation is about striving and seizing!
If you don't compete or fight, what kind of cultivation are you talking about!
To put it bluntly...
In the eyes of the disciples of the Chan Sect, Jiang Ziya was just one sentence: "You're pretending to be something you're not."
so.
After the Investiture of the Gods ceremony, Jiang Ziya's departure was inevitable. If it weren't for the imperial edict, Jiang Ziya wouldn't even have been qualified to preside over the Investiture of the Gods ceremony.
