Yuanshi Tianzun received a satisfactory answer and did not linger. He said goodbye and left Buzhou Mountain directly.
Hu Le sat on the cloud bed, calculated the celestial numbers, sighed, and ordered the Red Jade Boy to go to the Heavenly Court.
Not long after, Ziwei and Gouchen arrived at the Heavenly Dao Palace together with the boy.
After the two brothers exchanged greetings, Ziwei, as the elder brother, asked, "What are the sect leader's instructions for summoning us brothers here?"
"I called you here today because of your parents' matter," Hu Le stated his purpose directly.
The two brothers were both taken aback upon hearing this.
Hu Le collected the true spirits of Taiyi and his wife and sent them to reincarnation, without hiding it from the Ziwei brothers.
"What happened to them?" Ziwei asked with some concern.
Hu Le sighed, but instead of answering the question directly, he asked someone else, "Are you aware of the 1,500-year-old calamity that befell the Xuanmen sect?"
The two brothers didn't know why Hu Le had changed the subject, but they nodded nonetheless.
Now that the Investiture of the Gods has been signed, the three major sects of Taoism are all treating it with utmost caution. As one of the six emperors of the Heavenly Court, how could the matter of the Investiture of the Gods be kept from them?
"Why does the Master ask this? Could it be that my father and mother are among those who perished in this calamity?" Ziwei asked tentatively.
Hu Le nodded slightly, "You probably only know a general idea about this calamity. Now I will explain the changes of the calamity to you in detail."
Soon after, war will break out on earth, the phoenix will cry on Mount Qi, the Zhou will replace the Shang, and the calamity of the gods will begin along with the war on earth…
Ziwei frowned and replied, "The Phoenix Cries on Mount Qi? Replacing the Shang with the Zhou? Is the Zhou ruler you're referring to the Marquis of Xiqi?"
“That’s right, the one who will overthrow the Shang Dynasty and become the new king will surely be the Marquis of Xibo!” Hu Le confirmed Ziwei’s guess once again.
Gou Chen stepped forward and asked, "But what does all this have to do with us? This calamity of gods and immortals is a matter for the Xuanmen sect; it shouldn't concern us, right?"
Hu Le sighed, "Unfortunately, you will likely find it difficult to remain uninvolved in this calamity."
"Oh? Why does the cult leader say that?"
"Do you know who the new Marquis of Xibo is?" Hu Le glanced at the two of them with a half-smile.
The two brothers had a guess in their minds and immediately became nervous. "Does the leader mean...?"
“That’s right, he is the reincarnation of your father.” Hu Le revealed the answer directly.
"So what if that's the case? It's just one cycle of reincarnation." Ziwei continued, frowning.
As he said, Taiyi and his wife had already gone through countless reincarnations, and with each reincarnation, the bond between father and son and the cause and effect between them would fade a little.
Even though Taiyi has now been reincarnated as the Marquis of Xibo, they do not acknowledge him as their father.
After all, their bloodlines were different, and the Marquis of Xibo had not awakened Taiyi's memories...
"Well, what you say isn't entirely wrong. However, in this tribulation, he will achieve the Dao of Change. You should be his father and son again in this life to fulfill the karmic connection between you and him from your previous life."
Moreover, the two of you can also take this opportunity to secure a divine position on the Investiture of the Gods, thus sharing some of the fortune with the Xuanmen (Taoist sect).
The two men were speechless after hearing this, and they believed that Hu Le would not harm them.
"If that's the case, we'll all follow the leader's arrangements."
Ziwei and Gouchen bowed deeply, then took their leave and returned directly to the Heavenly Court.
They arranged the affairs of the palace, and then each of them released their primordial spirits, sealed their consciousness, and returned to a primordial chaos, which they then cast towards the human world...
Not long after, the cry of a baby rang out from inside the Marquis of Xibo's residence.
It turned out that the eldest son of Marquis Ji Chang had been born.
Ji Chang named him Boyi Kao.
And this Boyi Kao is the reincarnation of Ziwei...
As for Gouchen, it is still in its gestation stage and its birth is not yet imminent...
The aura of calamity hanging over the Xuanmen was growing stronger and stronger.
One day, Hu Le was practicing magic at the Heavenly Dao Palace when his second disciple, Yuan Huang, came to pay his respects.
She was accompanied by a beautiful young woman.
After bowing, Yuan Huang pointed to the girl and said to Hu Le, "Teacher, this girl is my newly accepted disciple named Yang Chan. I brought her here today to pay my respects."
Hu Le glanced at Yang Chan and immediately recognized her identity.
Isn't this Yang Jian's sister? How did she become a disciple of our family?
However, at that moment, a ball of clear light rose from the rear hall.
Hu Le sensed this change and his heart stirred. He reached out and beckoned, and a beam of clear light flew from the back hall, transforming into a precious lotus lantern that landed in his palm.
He clutched the Lotus Lantern, glanced at Yang Chan again, and thought to himself: So this is where fate lies...
Having understood the cause and effect, he naturally wouldn't turn Yang Chan away.
Moreover, although Yang Jian is one of the main characters in this calamity, his younger sister Yang Chan is not a member of the Xuanmen sect and is not included in the calamity. There is no problem in taking her into the Taoist sect.
This is why Yang Jian asked Yu Ding Zhenren for help, and then, after several twists and turns within the Chan Sect, found a Chan Sect disciple who was familiar with Yuan Huang, and through this person entrusted his younger sister to Yuan Huang.
After all, with Yang Chan's aptitude, it's not impossible for her to join the Chan Sect.
However, the Xuanmen sect is currently facing a turbulent period, and the Chan sect is one of the main forces causing the killing.
He himself had already joined the Chan Sect and couldn't avoid it, but he didn't want his only younger sister to be caught in the same calamity...
Hu Le casually tossed the Lotus Lantern in his hand, and the treasure immediately transformed into a beam of light and flew out, directly entering Yang Chan's body.
Yang Chan froze on the spot.
Seeing this, Yuan Huang reached out and gently patted her back, smiling as she reminded her, "What? Has my disciple gone mad? Hurry up and thank the Ancestor."
Yang Chan then came to her senses, knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times, saying shyly, "Chan'er thanks the Ancestor."
Hu Le nodded, telling her not to stand on ceremony.
Now that her disciple had paid homage to the ancestral master and obtained a primordial spiritual treasure, Yuan Huang was very satisfied and bowed to take her leave.
As she was leaving, Hu Le gave her a reminder: "According to my calculations, this child will face a great calamity in the future. You, as his teacher, must be careful."
"this……?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Huang was taken aback and was about to ask where the calamity came from when she suddenly realized what was happening.
She was also a person who understood the workings of fate, and knew that the future was subject to infinite changes. Some things could be known but not spoken of. If they were spoken of too clearly, it would disrupt the workings of fate, and the tribulations that were supposed to unfold would be altered.
But this change will not disappear; instead, it will evolve into an even greater calamity...
Therefore, she simply kept the matter in mind and did not investigate it further.
Moreover, in her view, with her protecting her, what if Yang Chan encounters a calamity in the future?
Besides, even if she can't protect them, they still have teachers above them...
But she forgot that the so-called tribulation was not just a matter of death. As long as the seven emotions and six desires were not eradicated, various tribulations would constantly evolve.
Sometimes, the calamity of killing is easy to resolve, but the calamity arising from the seven emotions and six desires is hard to escape...
