Looking at the receding figure of Immortal Chang Geng, Huang Long smiled and nodded.
At the same time, he also realized that this was a good entry point.
He had two ideas about how to make the Queen Mother of the West, the Styx and Zhen Yuanzi settle the cause and effect relationship with Hongjun.
One is to do as Donghuang Taiyi and others did, pay enough price, settle this cause and effect once and for all, allow Queen Mother of the West and others to break away from the influence of the Heavenly Dao, and make further progress in their cultivation.
Just to satisfy Hongjun, the price would have to be high, so Huang Long was not very inclined to this option.
The second idea, which is also the method Huang Long prefers, is to turn passivity into initiative and let Hongjun take the initiative to resolve the cause and effect.
If Huang Long wanted something from Hongjun, then Hongjun would definitely ask for a huge price, and Huang Long would have to pay a huge price.
But the opposite is different. If Hongjun takes the initiative to ask for it, the result will be different. Huanglong can even take the initiative to ask for a price! One of Huanglong’s major goals in the future is to find a way to make Hongjun take the initiative to ask for it.
If you want Hongjun to come to you on his own initiative, you must involve Hongjun’s interests and force him to make concessions.
Huang Long tapped the table lightly, looked up at the sky, and after some deduction, he made a decision in his heart.
After preparing for so long, it's time to start closing the net.
Afterwards, he called the Queen Mother of the West, told her about the banquet in Heaven, and asked her to take Bai Mi and others with her.
Although the status of the Emperor of Heaven is high, the current Heavenly Court cannot invite Huang Long or other saints, so it is not reasonable to ask him to go there in person.
Moreover, if he showed up, wouldn't that tell the Heavenly Saint that he wanted to cause trouble? It would simply give them room to be on guard.
In this case, it is better to stay in the Yunyin Taoist Temple and wait for the opportunity to come.
Two hundred years later.
The Queen Mother of the West, along with the disciples of the Guixu lineage, headed towards the sky of the Ninth Heaven.
This time, Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming also went along to witness the great event of the ancient times and the innate gods, so as to avoid being ignorant and not recognizing them when they meet in the future.
Xuanmen Heaven.
As the banquet in heaven approached, immortals came one after another.
They have different appearances and identities.
There are not only prehistoric independent cultivators, but also leaders of forces, as well as local powerful beings and innate powerful beings.
There are white-haired immortals with a sage-like demeanor and there are fairies in colorful clothes who are as graceful as a startled swan.
There are burly men with strong builds and middle-aged Taoist priests with plain looks.
Some people ride on cranes, some ride on tigers, some fly on clouds, and some turn into light.
When there were only a few months left before the agreed date of the Heavenly Palace banquet, a beam of light rose from the ground. It was none other than the disciple of the Guixu lineage.
As disciples of the saint, and led by the quasi-saint Queen Mother of the West, they can arrive at the same time as the top powerful beings in the prehistoric world.
Therefore, although Queen Mother of the West and her companions set out very early, they were not in a hurry to travel.
Instead, he took this opportunity to travel around the mountains and rivers, and visited the wild places, and really had a carefree time.
The escaping light stopped in front of the South Heaven Gate, and many immortals stopped to watch.
These people may not know the Three Sisters, Bai Mi, or Ling Xi, but few of them do not know the Queen Mother of the West.
As the former leader of the female immortals in the ancient world and one of the two rulers of the Immortal Court, how many people would not recognize her? "I am the Queen Mother of the West, a disciple of Guixu, and I have come with my fellow apprentices to visit you."
Queen Mother of the West took the lead and handed the invitation to the gatekeeper celestial general.
It has to be said that Haotian indeed has the qualities of a Heavenly Emperor. In just tens of thousands of years, he has won over a group of helpers and governed the Heavenly Court well.
Today, the gatekeeper is a golden immortal from the giant spirit clan, and he looks very powerful.
After hearing that the person was a disciple of the saint, the giant spirit was in awe and immediately and respectfully invited the person into the South Heaven Gate.
When Haotian heard that the Guixu lineage had arrived and was led by the quasi-saint Queen Mother of the West, he hurriedly sent the immortal Changgeng to receive them.
Although the relationship between heaven and earth is not good, heaven and hell are in opposition and competition with each other.
However, Huang Long was able to send Queen Mother of the West to attend the banquet in Heaven, which was a great honor for Haotian.
After the immortal Chang Geng received the Queen Mother of the West and others, he led them to the fairyland of Yaochi and arranged for them to sit at the top.
Not long after the Queen Mother of the West took her seat, the disciples of the Jiejiao, led by Duobao, arrived at the South Heaven Gate.
There are many disciples in Jiejiao, and even if only a small number of carefully selected ones came, there are more than two hundred of them.
I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but the disciples of the Jiejiao lineage happened to sit next to the disciples of the Guixu lineage.
After all, the disciples of both sides had once had an unpleasant experience, even though Duobao and Queen Mother of the West nodded to each other in greeting.
The Three Sisters also became acquainted with the female fairies of Jiejiao, such as Caiyun Fairy, Zhihan Fairy, and Jinling Holy Mother.
But most of the disciples of Jiejiao looked at Bai Mi and others with extremely complicated expressions, including fear and anger, and the atmosphere between the two sides was very weird.
Not long after, the Immortal of the South Pole came with the immortals of the Chan Sect and successfully diverted their attention.
Compared with the feud with the Guixu lineage, the feud between the Jiejiao and the Chenjiao is deeper, even to the point of being disgusted with each other.
The great master Xuandu followed closely behind and came to the Yaochi fairyland alone, and was placed next to the Queen Mother of the West.
Looking at Bai Mi's cultivation level of the late Daluo Jinxian, the only direct disciple of the Human Sect nodded and smiled on the surface as a greeting, but he was extremely solemn in his heart.
Saint Taiqing once commented on the disciples of various saints, and he was deeply moved by Huanglong's disciples.
It is clear that even Sanxiao and Zhao Gongming, who have the worst cultivation among these people, have the qualifications to be quasi-saints.
There is no need to say much about the Queen Mother of the West and the Styx, they are both well-known powerful beings in the ancient times and have the cultivation level of quasi-saints.
The true form of the Styx is combined with the River of Oblivion to become the Netherworld's dark river, thus achieving another kind of enlightenment.
As long as the underworld exists, he will be immortal and indestructible and cannot be suppressed.
But what surprised Saint Taiqing the most was Bai Mi, the eldest disciple of the Guixu lineage.
Bai Mi is just an ordinary crane of the flying family, with poor roots and no special luck.
Yet he was able to cultivate to this level so easily, so the position of quasi-saint would surely not be a problem for him in the future.
This made Saint Taiqing quite puzzled, and he could only attribute it to Huanglong's good teaching.
Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, he understood why even the Saint Taiqing would have such feelings.
After a while, the Western religion and other powerful beings in the prehistoric times also arrived.
When the time came, Emperor Haotian appeared at the right time.
Since all the saints of the Heavenly Dao knew that the Xuanmen Heavenly Court was a hot potato, they were unwilling to send their disciples to help.
Hongjun thought the time was not right, so he simply did not choose a candidate for the Queen of Heaven.
As a result, in the current Xuanmen Heavenly Court, there is only Haotian as the ruler.
This was the first time that Haotian officially appeared on the stage in the prehistoric world as the Emperor of Heaven.
He had made a lot of preparations for this, and said a lot about how he would govern the ancient world well in the future. His words were sincere and came from his heart.
Many people have a favorable impression of this Emperor of Heaven. No matter what happens in the future, at least Haotian has done a good job and has a positive attitude during the tens of thousands of years since he came to power.
As for the future, that is a matter for the future.
After a few speeches, Haotian announced the official start of the banquet.
Palace maids and strong men shuttled around, serving fine wines and delicious dishes and fruits.
According to the normal development history of the prehistoric world, the Queen Mother of the West had already entered the Heavenly Palace and became the leader of the female immortals.
The name of this banquet will be called the Peach Banquet.
Now that the Queen Mother of the West has been accepted by Huang Long and the Xiantian Renshui Peach Tree is also in the Yunyin Taoist Temple, the final main dish naturally cannot be the peaches.
However, it would be a bit unreasonable to hold a banquet dedicated to the ancient times without bringing out a decent spiritual object as the finale.
Finally, Haotian came to Zixiao Palace and gave this thing to Hongjun.
It is the top-grade innate spiritual root - five-needle pine.
In front of every great and powerful being in the ancient times, there is a piece of five-needle pine leaf.
A mysterious Taoist charm emanates from it. Just by smelling it, one can suddenly have many insights, which shows the magical power of this thing.
Even the Queen Mother of the West was seeing this thing for the first time. Foodies like Bai Mi and Ling Xi ate it without hesitation.
Both the taste and the aroma were refreshing. The vast spiritual power quickly surged in the body, flowing through the limbs and bones, nourishing the soul and condensing magic power.
It took more than half an hour for Bai Mi and the others to refine the pine leaves of the five-needle pine, and their cultivation levels were improved to varying degrees.
The digestion speed of the other Taiyi Golden Immortals was much slower and they were still in the process of refining.
After all, the banquet at Xuanmen Tianting was a grand event in the ancient times. Even if the saints did not attend in person, they all cast their eyes on it.
The Sage of Heaven knows clearly that his disciples look down upon Haotian, the Emperor of Heaven.
If at this critical juncture, some immortal among their disciples deliberately made trouble and offended the Emperor of Heaven, all of them, the saints of the Heavenly Dao, would lose face.
Before leaving, they all warned their disciples not to provoke others without reason.
Therefore, they were more confident in their disciples, but the problem was that the Guixu lineage was also attending the banquet.
In their opinion, anything related to Huanglong is a time bomb that must be guarded against, and it is always better to spend more time on it.
Their eyes fell on the disciples of Guixu lineage, on the one hand to be on guard, and on the other hand to observe.
Because the disciples of the Guixu lineage either stay in Guixu, or travel around the prehistoric world in a low-key manner, or cooperate with Huanglong to do thundering things.
This is the first time that people are attending a banquet together.
The more the Heavenly Dao Saint looked, the more solemn his expression became.
Even though they all knew that every disciple of Huang Long was extraordinary.
But looking at those all-Royal Golden Immortals, they were still filled with emotion.
When one’s cultivation reaches their level, they can destroy the world at will.
There is no need to take action in many matters. What matters is planning, the great way, disciples, face, and inheritance.
At present, the disciples of Guixu lineage have completely suppressed the disciples of Jiejiao, Chenjiao, Renjiao and Xifangjiao.
Even if we exclude the Queen Mother of the West and the Styx, among the disciples of the four religions, only Xuan Du can barely be compared with Bai Mi.
Such a scene made them all feel a little embarrassed.
Especially Yuanshi Tianzun, he has always attached great importance to face, so he would naturally feel uncomfortable when his disciples did not live up to his expectations.
Just thinking about the fact that the Chan sect is now assisting Xuanyuan, I feel a lot better.
When Xuanyuan's merits are complete, the disciples of the Chanjiao will naturally be able to obtain a lot of merits, and their cultivation will be able to be further improved, gradually narrowing the gap.
The Saint of Taiqing, the Saint of Shangqing and the Two Saints of the West also quickly let go of the situation and regained their peace of mind.
In spiritual practice, one cannot just strive for a short-term success, but also for eternal success. There is nothing to be afraid of falling behind now. The one who laughs last is the real winner.
A few days later, the other immortals woke up one after another.
They have not completely refined the spiritual power in their bodies, but they have been able to suppress these Tao rhymes and spiritual powers.
I plan to wait until the banquet is over and then go to the temple for retreat to digest what I have gained.
As all the immortals woke up one after another, the banquet came to an end and the guests prepared to leave.
But at this moment, Queen Mother of the West paused slightly, suddenly remembered something, and took a step forward.
But the next moment, the surrounding space seemed to freeze.
The wind stopped, the clouds stopped, the spiritual energy no longer flowed, and even time seemed to have stopped flowing.
An ordinary-looking old Taoist suddenly appeared out of nowhere. There was no fluctuation of magical power or Taoist charm on his body. He was just like an ordinary person.
But the fact that he appeared out of nowhere in heaven is enough to show his extraordinaryness.
If everyone present could see this scene, they would exclaim "Hongjun Daozu".
That's right, the person who came was indeed Hongjun! He looked at the Queen Mother of the West, and beneath his calm expression, there was a chill that seemed to be able to destroy everything.
As saints, it is impossible to hide anything related to their own path from them.
This is even more true in a place like Heaven where the power of Heaven is strong. The Queen Mother of the West was noticed by Hongjun just by recovering her memory.
However, since Huang Long asked the Queen Mother of the West to attend the banquet in Heaven and explained that matter to her, he was naturally prepared.
Almost at the same time when Hongjun appeared, the space beside Queen Mother of the West began to fluctuate, and Huang Long's figure quietly appeared.
He held the Chaos Bell in his hand, with the Nine Nether Soul-Calming Umbrella on his head. Chaos energy swirled around him, and the avenues of time, space, life, and death were floating in the chaos energy.
"What do you mean, fellow Daoist? Are you trying to bully the weak?"
Huang Long looked at Hongjun and asked in a puzzled manner.
If we talk about cultivation, Hongjun was born when the world was first created, and then achieved the Hunyuan fruit position, and now he is even more in harmony with the heaven. In the prehistoric times, Huanglong could never be his opponent.
However, Huang Long is also a Hunyuan Golden Immortal after all, and now he has become a genuine saint.
The current location of both parties is in the important area of Heaven.
If Hongjun really wanted to take action against the Queen Mother of the West, the final result would certainly be that he would be able to forcibly suppress the Queen Mother of the West, but the Heavenly Palace would no longer exist and would never be able to appear again.
But just now, he felt a threat from the Queen Mother of the West.
If we just leave the Queen Mother of the West alone, she will be able to reach out to the Heavenly Palace and gain some of its power.
Now that Didao controls the underworld and the earthly immortal palace, the prehistoric land has basically completely fallen into Didao's hands.
It is very difficult, extremely difficult for the Heavenly Dao to gain a foothold in the prehistoric land under such circumstances.
If Heaven is allowed to fall into the control of the Underworld again, even just a little bit, it will be a huge loss for Heaven.
This means that the authority of the underworld extends from the primitive earth to the sky.
The prestige of the Queen Mother of the West in the prehistoric world is far beyond what Haotian can compare to.
Once the Queen Mother of the West is allowed to take over the Heavenly Palace, it will probably not be long before Haotian is sidelined and the Heavenly Palace will completely fall into the control of the underworld.
Even if there is a saint in charge, it may only delay the process.
Hongjun must not let such a thing happen! "What do you want?"
Hongjun looked towards Huanglong. His usually calm expression now seemed a little solemn.
He knew that since Huang Long made him aware of this matter, he must have something to ask for.
