"Great Emperor Hongqing, you..." Taoist Hongjun said in disbelief, "You want them to join the Xuanjiao?"
Fang Jian smiled and said, "Do you think this is good?"
Taoist Hongjun was very excited. If those five people could join Xuanjiao, then Xuanjiao would suddenly have five Daluo Jinxians, and with himself, there would be six Daluo Jinxians.
His own Jade Disc of Creation could barely be considered a Hunyuan Wuji Daluo Jinxian. In this way, the Xuan Sect could replace the original position of the Demon Sect and become the third largest sect after Taoism and Buddhism.
But... what was the price? Taoist Hongjun didn't dare to agree to this matter casually. Although doing so would have a hundred benefits and no harm, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
So Taoist Hongjun cautiously asked Fang Jian, "May I ask Great Emperor Hongqing, what should the Xuan Sect do?"
Fang Jian said: "Leaving the treasure that suppresses destiny in the Heavenly Palace is the same as Taoism and Buddhism."
Taoist Hongjun was stunned for a moment, then said, "It's just that... the Jade Book of Creation is what my Xuan Sect uses to suppress destiny."
Fang Jian said, "In this critical moment for the Xuan Sect, you are allowed to temporarily retrieve the Jade Book of Creation. In addition..."
Fang Jian flipped his right palm, and two mysterious lights carrying two magic weapons appeared in Fang Jian's palm. They were the 'Calamity Furnace' and the 'Great Thousand Twenty-four Grade Black Lotus'.
"Do you recognize these two magic weapons?" Fang Jian asked.
Taoist Hongjun's pupils shrank as he said, "I know of the Demon Cult's treasure, the World-Killing Furnace, which suppresses destiny, and the Chaos Origin Demon's Great Thousand Twenty-Fourth Grade Black Lotus."
Fang Jian said, "Pick one."
"What? Great Emperor Hongqing, you want to give one of them to me?" Taoist Hongjun said with horror on his face.
Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "Although the Xuan Cult did some things that rebelled against the Heavenly Court when it entered the world, it has always been law-abiding and has always stood on the side of the Heavenly Court in every major event. This is very good. Merits will be rewarded, and faults will be punished. Today is the Emperor's reward to your Xuan Cult."
After saying that, Fang Jian said directly: "Pick one."
Hearing Fang Jian's words, Taoist Hongjun was deeply moved. He kowtowed three times to Fang Jian, then stood up and said to Fang Jian, "Reporting to Great Emperor Hongqing, I choose the World-Killing Furnace."
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded and directly sent the World-Calming Furnace to Taoist Hongjun.
After Taoist Hongjun took over the Ruins of the World, he discovered that all traces of the original owner had been wiped out, and it was as pure as a magic weapon that had just been taken out of the furnace.
Taoist Hongjun was shocked, and he was even more awed by the other party's "unfathomable" strength.
After Taoist Hongjun put away the World Calamity Furnace, he immediately performed three bows and nine kowtows to Fang Jian again and said, "From now on, everyone in the Xuan Sect must obey the laws of the Heavenly Court."
Fang Jian smiled and nodded, saying, "Good."
In the 383rd year of the Jade Emperor's reign, the five great sect leaders of the Shuxian Sect, Shaoyin Palace, Yuntai Xianting, Feihong Xianting, and Wukuo Xianting announced to the Three Realms that they would officially merge with the Xuan Sect and enshrine Hongjun Taoist as their leader.
Taoist Hongjun appointed Patriarch Tianshu, True Lord Juxia, True Lord Youhong, Taoist Lingyou and True Lord Jiying as the five great leaders of Xuanjiao. Those who achieved the status of Taiyi Golden Immortal in each sect were appointed as the Grand Elders, while those who achieved the status of Golden Immortals were appointed as the Elders.
Taoist Hongjun immediately announced that he would present the treasure used by Xuanjiao to suppress its destiny to the Heavenly Court.
Afterwards, the Heavenly Court issued an edict, conferring the title of Daoist Lord on Taoist Hongjun and the title of True Lord on the five great leaders of the Xuanjiao. All those who had previously held the title of Heavenly King were stripped of their titles.
In Yujing Mountain, after watching a series of actions of Xuanjiao, it was not difficult for Taishang Laojun and the ancient Buddha Ran Deng to understand the cause and effect.
This Xuanjiao was deliberately supported by the Great Emperor Hongqing as a check and balance. Although Taoism and Buddhism have been incorporated into the Heavenly Court, the various forces within it also need to be checked and balanced.
'The confluence of the six religions' is the last major event that will happen in this era.
In the 445th year of the Jade Emperor's reign, the Great Emperor Zhenwu, the Emperor Rensheng, the Emperor Taiyi, and the Emperor Qitian formally reported to Fang Jian at the grand court meeting in the Lingxiao Palace that all screenings in the three realms of the world had been completed, and all the immortal cultivators who met the requirements had entered Daluo Heaven or Jiufang Tianye to avoid disaster, and the reopening of the Yuanhui could be started.
Afterwards, Fang Jian reported to the Jade Emperor, who formally issued an edict:
Reopen the Yuanhui!
...
Following the Jade Emperor's decree to open the Yuan Dynasty, the first to take action was the Zhou Tian Xingjun.
The Lord of Zhoutian Stars presided over the Great Array of Zhoutian Stars. The moment the Jade Emperor's decree was issued, the mighty power of the Great Array of Zhoutian Stars was instantly unleashed.
The entire three realms of the present world, except for Daluo Heaven, the Nine Directions Heaven, and the Underworld, all the heavens and billions of worlds including the Jambu World and the other eight directions of the world were instantly enveloped by the power of the Zhoutian Star Array.
Afterwards, the Heavenly Dao began to operate, and the Dao energy of the three realms in the world all gathered at the top of the Daluo Sky Dome, forming a vast and boundless river of Dao energy.
Immediately afterwards, the Zhoutian Star Fighting Array was activated again, blocking the long river of time in the three realms of the present world, and then the power of the Zhoutian Star Fighting began to sort out the long river of time in this era.
At this point, relying solely on the Zhoutian Star Lords was no longer sufficient, so the four Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxians, Taishang Laojun, Randang Ancient Buddha, Jade Emperor, and Ziwei Emperor, all went down personally to preside over the Zhoutian Star Array and sort out the long river of time in this Yuanhui.
This process lasted for a thousand years. In the 1860th year of the Jade Emperor's reign, the long river of time of this Yuanhui was finally sorted out, and the node of this Yuanhui was found.
Then the four Hunyuan Wuda Daluo Jinxians and Zhoutian Xingjun immediately drove the Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array into the node of Benyuanhui. As the Zhoutian Xingdou Great Array was driven into the node of Benyuanhui, the flow of time in the long river of time of Benyuanhui was forcibly cut off in an instant.
Then an extremely magnificent scene appeared. Within the three realms of the present world, except for the three places of Daluo Heaven, Jiufang Heaven, and the Underworld, all the great and small worlds in the three realms of the present world began to be annihilated and collapsed, like soil washed by a river, disappearing in the surging river of time in an instant.
After an unknown amount of time, the 'annihilation' within the three realms of the mortal world ended. Looking around, apart from Daluo Heaven, Jiufang Heaven, and the underworld, the entire mortal world was left with only the empty and desolate boundless universe.
In the end, even these chaotic areas could not be seen, because the laws of heaven were in operation, and the black and white energies evaporated and rose, soon covering the entire three realms of the world.
The three realms of the world are now like being enveloped by two black and white clouds. There is no time, space, past, present or future.
Everything is still.
