"The intrigue within Taoism is very serious. I discovered this many years ago when the first holder of the pen was still in office."
Chibi said softly.
In fact, the internal struggles within Taoism are much more intense than imagined.
When Jiang Ziya was the first pen holder and presided over the Ceremony of Conferring the Gods, the conflicts among the three Taoist religions had already intensified to the point where they were almost out of control.
The so-called Taoism is too fragmented.
Since then.
There was already a problem with the Creation Monument.
There are many reasons why Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Taishang Laojun were chosen to leave their names on the Creation Monument.
People in later generations generally believed that it was the Creation Monument that chose these three people and had their names engraved on the monument, making them the three Heavenly Lords of Taoism.
But in fact.
The Creation Monument has no feelings towards these three people.
But why choose these three?
There are many reasons.
The most important reason is that the three of them have a good master.
Very few people in later generations know the name of the master of these three people. Even in the ancient world, it was relatively unknown.
The master of these three people is named Hongjun.
Hongjun and Nuwa are all terrifying beings of the same level. Even the Creation Monument has to give them some respect.
The three of them were qualified to have their names engraved on the stele only because they were Hongjun's disciples. In other words, if Hongjun's disciple was a dog, the name engraved on the stele would be the dog's name, not theirs.
This is the main reason.
The Creation Monument needs to give Hongjun this face.
to be honest.
The Creation Monument did not have a good impression of Hongjun.
After the sky collapsed, all the ancestral-level beings in the world were divided into three camps. This has been mentioned before.
The first category is the ancestors headed by Nuwa. They worked tirelessly to save all living things and paid huge efforts and costs.
The second category is the ancestors headed by Kunpeng. In the early days, they, like Nuwa, wanted to save all living things, but later they chose to ignore them.
The third category is also the most heartless.
The ancestors, led by Hongjun, turned a blind eye to the life and death choices of all living things from the very beginning.
This is actually normal.
after all.
Everyone's choices are different.
Especially in the world of cultivation where competition is cruel, it is also normal to watch someone die without helping. Cultivators will not be morally kidnapped.
But the most disgusting thing is that after Nuwa repaired the sky, many of Nuwa's ancestors died, and Hongjun, who did not contribute any effort to repairing the sky, began to show off his presence.
He declared that he hoped to maintain order in all things and strongly supported Taoism.
Before the sky fell, Taoism had not yet been divided into three religions, and there was no obvious distinction among disciples within it.
But after the repair of the sky, Taoism was divided into three religions in a short period of time, namely the current Xianjiao, Jiejiao and Renjiao.
That’s not all.
Hongjun found the Creation Tablet.
The names of Yuanshi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu and Taishang Laojun were recorded on the stele.
This incident caused Taoism's influence to expand rapidly in the ancient world, and in a short period of time it became the unique and largest religion in the ancient world.
I can only say.
Hongjun is good at calculating.
But the same thing.
The Creation Monument needs to give face to Hongjun.
Seriously.
Although Taoism was divided into three major religions at that time, there were no obvious conflicts or contradictions among the three major religions. At most, the concepts were slightly different.
Later.
There are more and more conflicts among the three major Taoist religions, but they have always maintained a delicate balance.
If history had developed normally, the relationship between the three major Taoist religions would have maintained a delicate balance, with checks and balances on each other.
But something happened.
Hongjun...is missing.
That's right.
It's literally gone.
No matter who it is, no one can find where Hongjun is. Even the three Taoist Heavenly Masters cannot find where their master has gone.
At the beginning.
Everyone thought that Hongjun had just gone somewhere and would come back after a while.
But gradually.
Hongjun never appeared again.
It's not just Hongjun.
All the ancestral-level beings who survived after the sky was repaired disappeared one by one in a short period of time.
That's why.
There is no longer an ancestor-level existence in the ancient world, and the most is half a step to the ancestor realm.
For Taoism, Hongjun's disappearance did not cause much impact, because Taoism at that time was already the largest religion in the ancient world, and almost a dominant existence in the ancient world.
After Hongjun disappeared, other ancestor-level beings also disappeared. Everyone's strength was weakened, which was equivalent to not weakening at all.
so.
Taoism is still the dominant religion.
even.
The three Taoist gods were secretly delighted.
Because their master has always been like a huge mountain pressing down on them, making it hard for them to breathe.
Especially Taishang Laojun, he himself was not very liked by Hongjun, so Hongjun’s disappearance was definitely a great thing for Taishang Laojun.
certainly.
It is also a good thing for the Creation Monument.
Because the Creation Monument had long been dissatisfied with the mess within Taoism, but because of Hongjun, it could not express it.
The disappearance of Hongjun means that the Creation Monument no longer needs to give face to Taoism.
but.
The Creation Monument did not change its attitude immediately, but waited.
after all.
No one knows whether Hongjun will come back suddenly.
