Buddha is the Tao

Zhou Qing had not shown his full strength just now. Whether it was Wude Xingjun or the four marshals Wang, Yang, Gao, and Li, they were all a little far from Nezha, and it was even more impossible for them to be Zhou Qing's opponents. However, there were many people with good eyesight in the heavenly court. As long as Zhou Qing took action, they could roughly see the clues.

The magic power displayed by Zhou Qing was both Taoist and Buddhist. Some of his techniques were unique, combining the experience of the ancient witches fighting and the gentleness of Taoism. This was a little bit, but no one could see it.

"From this day on, the immortal Zhou Qing in the lower world will be the new Emperor Gou Chen, and will be in charge of the Gou Chen Palace!" The Jade Emperor said without any dissatisfaction. The voice was majestic and irresistible.

The immortals finally came to their senses and understood what the Jade Emperor was going to do. Xu Tianshi hurriedly stepped out of the ministerial class and said, "Your Majesty, you have to remember this matter for a long time. Emperor Gou Chen was canonized by Yuanshi Tianzun. Although he was injured, he was not summoned by Yuanshi Fu. It might be inappropriate to canonize him like this. Especially although Master Zhou has profound magical powers, after all, Gou Chen is the emperor who commands the demons of the three realms. I am afraid that the demon kings in the lower realms will not accept it and will inevitably cause trouble, which will make our heaven uneasy. I hope Your Majesty will think deeply about it!"

This matter was too sudden. The immortals didn't know what to say, but they all knew that it was inappropriate. However, offending the majesty of the Jade Emperor was a violation of the heavenly rules, so the immortals didn't dare to say much. Only the four great Tianshis relied on their status and stepped forward to make a report and raised objections.

"Master Xu is wrong. Your Majesty is the common ruler of the Three Realms. All creatures in the Three Realms are subject to Your Majesty's divine power. When the three religions discussed together, they also served our Heavenly Court. Even the Three Pure Ones had to bow and salute Your Majesty. The position of Emperor Gou Chen has been vacant for a long time, so that the people in the lower realms no longer obey the jurisdiction of Heaven. Seeing the imperial edict but not bowing is blaspheming the divine power. Master Zhou subdued the great witch Bai Qi, fulfilling the last wish of Emperor Gou Chen. It is just the cycle of heaven. Every bite and every drink has a fixed number. Your Majesty's canonization is reasonable. Does Your Majesty have to go to the Thirty-three Heavens to ask for the original talisman to summon him?"

Taibai Jinxing is indeed a favorite of the Jade Emperor. His words are reasonable. Master Xu can also hear that the Jade Emperor's voice is decisive and no one can shake the divine power. He just came out to play the good cop and the bad cop with Taibai Jinxing. The immortals also saw what was going on, so they didn't answer. Since the Jade Emperor had spoken, the matter was settled. Let's see how Zhou Qing answered.

"I am a poor Taoist with only a few minor skills. I am definitely not worthy of the throne of the Great Emperor. But your Majesty's reward, I dare not refuse it. It's just that I have no fate with this heavenly palace. I wander around the three realms and am a free and easy person. Recently, I have occasionally comprehended the secrets of heaven and decided to open a Taoist temple in the lower realm to pass on my mantle. I hope your Majesty will grant me permission."

Zhou Qing knew that if he refused or boasted again, he might really make things worse. But of course he couldn't stay in the Heavenly Palace. Zhou Qing was alone and weak. If he stayed in the Heavenly Palace for a long time, his boasting would eventually wear thin. It is better to go to the lower world, which is vast and boundless, and can avoid the eyes and ears of the heaven. Zhou Qing has a vague idea of ​​what the heaven is thinking. He can't let others use him as a pawn. It is different from the heaven and the human world. Although Zhou Qing has some strength, it is nothing.

"Oh, this is easy. The immortal wants to open a Taoist temple. There are many sacred mountains in the lower world. I don't know which mountain the immortal has set his eyes on!" Taibai laughed and spoke for the Jade Emperor.

"I am sure. The lower world is vast and boundless, and there are countless sacred mountains, but most of them are not destined for me. I have to find a sacred mountain with a destiny, so that I can flourish my Taoism!" Zhou Qing made a promise to the Jade Emperor again.

"Since you don't want to live in the Heavenly Palace, you should open a Taoist temple in the lower world. The lower world is vast, you can find a Taoist temple by yourself!"

The Jade Emperor never hesitated when speaking, and said to Taibai Jinxing: "Changgeng Xingjun, you should quickly convey my will and announce my enthronement to the three realms. I will adjourn the court!" After saying that, he turned around and walked to the back, leaving a group of ministers and generals looking at each other. After a while, everyone dispersed, and only Nezha came forward to congratulate him. He strongly invited Zhou Qing to stay in his mansion for two days.

Zhou Qing refused of course. He didn't want to stay in the Heavenly Palace for a moment. He became the Great Emperor of Gou Chen without knowing what was going on. He didn't get any gifts or benefits. It was just a nice title. Zhou Qing felt a little ridiculous, but he had no choice. He said goodbye to Nezha and others and went out of the South Heavenly Gate. The Four Heavenly Kings had already received the news and saluted Zhou Qing. Although the Great Emperor of Gou Chen was just a title, he was also one of the Four Emperors with a high status. Although the Four Heavenly Kings were puzzled and unconvinced, they had to pretend to be good on the surface.

"It looks like the situation is not good! Even the gatekeeper is a little dissatisfied with me, not to mention the demon king of the lower world. He was manipulated by the Jade Emperor, but he couldn't get angry. He was really depressed. If I can't afford to provoke him, can't I hide? I'll go to the human world for a while, and when this matter has faded, I'll come up to find out the situation."

Emperor Gou Chen once commanded the demons of the three realms, and the earthly immortal world is mostly demons. Zhou Qing opened a Taoist temple in the earthly immortal world, and the demons would definitely not obey. If they come to the door every day, Zhou Qing would temporarily give up the idea. The Jade Emperor wanted Zhou Qing to go down to the lower world to contain the demons in the earthly immortal world. Even if Zhou Qing was willing to stay in the Heavenly Palace, I'm afraid the Jade Emperor would find an opportunity for him to go down to the lower world. Zhou Qing's intention was just what he wanted, so he agreed so readily. The Gou Chen Palace had long been accepted by the Jade Emperor, and he would never give it up. In this matter, the Heavenly Court did not suffer any loss, but it caused Zhou Qing a huge trouble, disrupting Zhou Qing's overall plan.

With a flash of his figure and a divine thought, Zhou Qing made sure that no one was following him. He then went down to the earthly immortal world, stepped on the ground, and landed in a vast mountainous area. He walked east and west, looking around, not knowing what he was doing. After tinkering with it for a while, Zhou Qing offered up the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, and the colorful light covered the entire valley like a tide. After a while, the colorful light gradually disappeared, and Zhou Qing also disappeared.

"What a powerful magic weapon, what a wonderful Taoist technique! Your Majesty, do you know where this person came from?" In the Pixiang Hall of the Bullfighting Palace, behind the Jade Emperor stood Taibai Jinxing and an immortal wearing a yellow robe, with a white face and black beard. This immortal was the Huangjiao Great Immortal in the center of Zhongji.

At this time, the three were fighting in front of a square mirror inlaid with gold and jade. The colorful light flashed for a moment, and a valley appeared, lush and green, which was exactly where Zhou Qing disappeared.

This sky-viewing mirror is a rare treasure in the heavens. It can observe people and things, and is very intelligent. Unable to figure out Zhou Qing's origin, the Jade Emperor wanted to play hard to get and let Zhou Qing go down to the lower world to see what kind of sacredness he is. However, Zhou Qing was very thoughtful. After falling down, he broke through the gap between the three realms to go to the human world. He first set up a suspicious formation, then used the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to cover up all his breath, and disappeared by escaping the earth.

"Mr. Huang Jiao, where do you think this person came from?" The Jade Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, this person's martial arts skills are all top-notch, but the relic that appeared in the Lingxiao Palace is a Western thing. It is common for him to practice Buddhism and Taoism together. However, this person said that he got the Tao outside the universe and in the pre-primordial times. I'm afraid he is a little arrogant. At most, he is an ancient Taoist in the prehistoric times. However, this person is alert and used magic weapons to cover up his breath, so that the viewing mirror cannot detect him. His whereabouts are unknown. However, it is certain that he is a Taoist from the lower world, not a celestial immortal. The branch in his hand is definitely not an ordinary thing. I think there are not many magic weapons in my heaven that can compare to this branch, but I don't know where it came from."

Huang Jiao Daxian said slowly, with some speculation.

"Oh, even the Yellow Horned Immortal doesn't know where this Taoist came from, which is really strange. However, the lower world is endless, and we in Heaven cannot know everything. Unless we go to the Wanshou Mountain Wuzhuang Temple to borrow the Earth Book of the Earth Immortal Ancestor, we can find out where this Taoist came from in the Earth Immortal Knot." Taibai Jinxing said.

"Don't bother with this Taoist, but the great wizard Bai Qi is immortal, and can only be sealed. It is very difficult to kill him and destroy his body and soul. Do you have any good ideas?" The Jade Emperor asked.

"Your Majesty, Bai Qi is extremely brave, so you don't need to kill him. Just seal him in the Gou Chen Palace. He may be useful in the future. Your Majesty has obtained the Mountain and River State Map, but you can secretly ask those immortals who have opened Taoist temples in the lower world to offer disciples with good roots to practice in the Mountain and River State Map. On the one hand, it can enhance the strength of the Heavenly Court, and on the other hand, it can conceal people's tracks. Your Majesty has few people available now. The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King is a disciple of the ancient Buddha of the Western Paradise, Randeng, and can command the Buddha soldiers in Lingshan. The eldest son Jinzha and the second son Muzha are both monks. The gods in the sky are all canonized by Yuanshi Tianzun. In name, they are under the command of Your Majesty, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will not be able to command them after the Yuanshi Talisman is issued."

Huangjiao Daxian, Taibai Jinxing, is the real confidant of the Jade Emperor. Taibai does not shy away from anything and tells his strategies one by one.

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor was overjoyed and said, "This is something that I am deeply interested in. Among the immortals in the Heavenly Court, there are dozens who have opened Taoist temples in the lower world. There are also countless idle immortals in the Heavenly Court who have Taoist traditions in the lower world. Huang Jiao, this matter will be handed over to you to handle. Don't let the news leak out."

Huang Jiao Daxian quickly received the order and said with Taibai Jinxing, "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Within a few decades, Your Majesty can firmly control millions of special forces."

"Taibai, tell Bai Qi to obey me and help me train strong soldiers. You are the best at some of these methods. The God of Heaven is at your disposal. You must make Bai Qi submit to me." The Jade Emperor took out a blazing gold medal and handed it to Taibai Jinxing.

The three of them were all delighted. In comparison, Zhou Qing's power was weak. Even if he had the power to reach the sky, he was just a lone man and could not be on the stage. The Jade Emperor conferred him a nominal title, but he did not lose anything. He could also muddy the waters. There were urgent things to do. In comparison, Zhou Qing was nothing.

Not to mention that the Heavenly Court was calculating there, Zhou Qing used earth escape to turn underground for several hours. He hid his body and no one found him. He did not know how many miles he had traveled until he was sure that no one was following or checking him. He quietly came out. He put down several seals, broke the space, came to the gap in the heaven, walked for a while, and entered the human world. He had a trace of his soul and the soul of the blue god merged. After a while, he found the location of the earth and fell down. But it was in Kunlun Cave Heaven.

"Master, you finally appeared!" Zhou Qing's mind moved, and the blue god appeared in front of him.

Now in Kunlun Cave Heaven, exotic flowers are blooming, herbs are fragrant, and trees are standing in rows. In Yuxu Palace, fairy music is ringing, white cranes with red crowns are flying, and the crisp and vigorous sound goes straight into the sky. It is a blessed land for immortals, but Zhou Qing feels that there is a faint smell of filth rippling, which is a phenomenon unique to the entire human world. After seeing the earthly immortal world and the heavenly world, Zhou Qing finally understood why the immortals are unwilling to come to the human world. Relatively speaking, this human world is just like a toilet. Fortunately, Zhou Qing has not stayed in those two worlds for a short time. If he stayed for a few years or decades, he might not even want to return to the human world.

"Lan Shen, have you completed the things I told you to do?" Zhou Qing suddenly said. The descendant of the witch clan, Bai Qi, has now fallen into the hands of the heaven. The only threat has been solved. Zhou Qing doesn't want to leave any harm in the world.

"Master, everything is done. A total of 1,365 descendants of the Wu Sect have been killed by me. I took back their souls and was about to present them to you. Di Lingzi has completely replaced the dead ghosts of the Wu Sect and controlled the secular government. In the past month, he has fought with surrounding forces many times. The eldest, second, and third ladies and I have eradicated all the surrounding island countries and Western forces, and collected more than 34 million souls. The eldest lady selected 300 disciples with excellent roots from the young disciples of the original Zhongtu Dao Sect and reopened a branch of my Tiandao Sect in this Kunlun Cave Heaven."

Lan Shen reported everything one by one, and Zhou Qing laughed happily: "Haha, haha, Lan Shen, you are worthy of being my proud assistant. You do things without any mistakes. I will never treat you unfairly."

Lan Shen grabbed a large bottle about one foot high from the void. It was pitch black and had a blood-red talisman sealed on it.

"This is the soul-collecting Ruyi bottle made by the eldest lady using magic methods. All the souls inside are in it. I am going to present it to the sect master."

Zhou Qing was overjoyed. He took the bottle and looked into the mouth of the bottle. He saw that it was pitch black inside, deep and endless. Gusts of cold wind blew out of the mouth of the bottle. Zhou Qing took out a flag of the King of Hell. The black air turned and rolled the bottle into the flag.

"Wen Lanxin's weapon refining skills have already mastered the essence of it. You have done a good job. With so many souls and spirits, my power as the Dutian Demon God will be even stronger. It will be the foundation of our Tiandao sect in the future!"

Lan Shen led Zhou Qing into the Yuxu Palace. Two beautiful women came to him. They were Zhou Qing's acquaintances. They were the two female disciples of Longhu Mountain, Dai Jinrong and Li Rong. Because their aptitude and bones were superior, they were favored by Wen Lanxin and accepted as disciples. The two women were originally modern people and did not value their master. In addition, Zhou Qing's iron-blooded methods that day almost frightened them to death. There was no reason to resist. Now all the Taoist sects in the world have returned to Kongtong. All the proud disciples of Shushan assisted Di Lingzi in dealing with worldly affairs. With the help of super masters such as Little Fox, Toad, Zhou Chen, and Mighty Bear King, they were like fish in water and the situation was very good.

The Taoism in the Central Plains helped the secular regime and worked together. The effect was incomparable to the previous struggles.

The two women were shocked when they saw Zhou Qing, and then they dared not move, shaking with fear.

"You, go and call the eldest lady out to see the holy cross of the sect master!" Lan Shen waved his hand and ordered, and the two women hurriedly ran inside.

Zhou Qing observed the interior of the Yuxu Palace. The white jade was the wall, and it went deep into it layer by layer, with no end in sight. The alchemy room was nested in the alchemy room, and the hall was connected to the hall, endless. There was only heaven and earth inside, small bridges and flowing water, and the fragrance of rare grass and flowers, day and night.

After a while, Wen Lanxin heard the report and hurried out to greet him. He bowed and took Zhou Qing into a large hall.

"Lan Shen, go to Da Zi Zai Palace to fetch Yun Xia, and fetch my two disciples as well." Zhou Qing sat on a white jade bed in the hall, and below him was Wen Lanxin and a group of disciples, half of them men and half of them women, about 300 people.

This hall was very spacious, no less than Lingxiao Hall, and it was the place where Yuanshi Tianzun preached in the past. The white jade bed Zhou Qing sat on was the one Yuanshi Tianzun sat on to preach in the past, and later Kunlun used it to worship Yuanshi Tianzun's tablet. Bai Qi broke the ban of Yuxu Palace, killed the elders who stayed inside, and smashed Yuanshi Tianzun's tablet. Wen Lanxin took advantage of it, entered Yuxu Palace, opened a Taoist temple, and used it as the mountain gate.

Wen Lanxin reported these situations to Zhou Qing one by one. Zhou Qing looked at the disciples below and shook his head repeatedly. After seeing the strength of the Heavenly Court and comparing it with his own strength, Zhou Qing was really amused. Even the Dragon Palace could easily send out a team of a thousand soldiers to wipe out his power. It was really not optimistic. These disciples were also good. Each of them had the strength of the late stage of Qi Induction, especially Li Rong and the two girls, who were already in the early stage of Spiritualization. However, compared with the Earthly Immortal Realm, they were not even fire-burning boys.

About an hour later, Yunxia, ​​Little Fox, and Zhou Chen came one after another. They were all very happy to see Zhou Qing. Zhou Qing was very satisfied to see that Wen Lanxin handled everything properly.

There are no major events in the human world now, so he instructs Wen Lanxin to continue developing his power. There are countless Kunlun classics and techniques stored in the Yuxu Palace, and Zhou Qing has also collected them one by one. When things settle down, he will study the techniques of various sects, refer to the memories of the Great Witch Demon God, and the method of condensing the golden body, and he must create his own sect's cultivation classics.
