Honghuang: Eat a Hunyuan Daluo

Chapter 125: Interpretation of Conflicts of Doctrines
The way of heaven is still above them, which makes Bai Jing's subsequent plans a little difficult to carry out.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dao had just been punished by the Great Dao, so there shouldn't be any major moves. Bai Jing could take advantage of this time to strengthen the Holy Lotus Sect.

Thinking of this, Bai Jing turned to Laozi and said, "Fellow Daoist Taiqing, you gave me a disciple gift before. At that time, you had not accepted a disciple yet, so I did not return the gift. Now that you have a disciple, it is a good opportunity for me to make up for it with this gift."

After saying that, Bai Jing spread out his palms, and a magic treasure that looked like a ruler appeared in his hands.

“Daoyou Taiqing, this item is made by me imitating the Hongmeng Heaven-Measurement Ruler. It is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure with 48 restrictions. Its power is comparable to that of a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure with fewer restrictions. I will give it to Daoyou Taiqing’s disciple!”

After listening to Bai Jing's words, a hint of surprise flashed in my eyes. Could Bai Jing actually refine a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure with 48 prohibitions?

The top-grade acquired spiritual treasure that Yuanshi is currently refining has no more than 43 restrictions.

Of course, despite what he thought, Laozi did not refuse, but accepted the ruler on behalf of Xuan Du.

Upon seeing this, Yuanshi Tianzun quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Bai Jing's weapon refining skills have improved tremendously! Can you refine a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure with 48 restrictions?"

"It was just luck. This ruler is the first top-grade acquired spiritual treasure I refined that has 48 restrictions. Most of the top-grade acquired spiritual treasures I refined before had 45 or 46 restrictions. There were very few with 47 restrictions."

Yuanshi Tianzun felt a little more balanced after hearing this, and he said that no matter how fast Bai Jing's weapon refining skills improved, he shouldn't have surpassed him by so much.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, if you have time, you may come to Kunlun so that we can discuss Taoism." Yuanshi Tianzun invited Bai Jing.

Bai Jing nodded slightly and agreed.

He just deliberately took out the best imitation of the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler in order to get Yuanshi Tianzun to invite him to Kunlun.

When Yuanshi Tianzun saw Bai Jing agreed, he immediately said goodbye to the Western duo and Nuwa.

Apart from pursuing the great Dao, Yuanshi Tianzun's greatest hobby is to delve into refining equipment. Now, with great difficulty, he has invited Bai Jing, who is equally proficient in refining equipment and has even gone further than him in the art of refining equipment, to discuss the Dao with him. Naturally, Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't want to stay any longer.

Although the Three Pure Ones had some grudges at this time, they had not yet fallen out with each other and could still be considered friendly and respectful to each other.

Yuanshi wanted to leave, so Laozi and Tongtian naturally had no objection. The three of them, together with Bai Jing, tore through space and went to Kunlun.

It is worth mentioning that before leaving, Yuanshi Tianzun also collected a large piece of the broken Buzhou Mountain. Seeing this, Bai Jing smiled slightly and also collected a large piece of the broken mountain.

Yuanshi Tianzun's piece will be used to refine it into the Fantian Seal in the future, but Bai Jing does not plan to refine spiritual treasures such as seals. The main reason is that Bai Jing is not very interested in spiritual treasures such as seals. He has other uses for the broken mountain body of Mount Buzhou.

When the Western duo saw that Bai Jing and the Three Pure Ones had left, they bowed to Nuwa and returned to the Western Religion.

Nuwa hesitated for a moment and did not return to the Wa Palace. Instead, she directly tore through space and came to the Yingzhou Fairy Island.

She planned to wait for Bai Jing to come back and discuss some things with him.

After Bai Jing and the Three Pure Ones returned to Kunlun Mountain, he glanced at the disciples of the three religions in Kunlun Mountain and asked in surprise, "Do the three Taoist friends already have so many disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's face darkened and he said, "Most of them are my third brother's disciples."

Tongtian seemed not to hear the impatience in Yuanshi Tianzun's tone, and said cheerfully: "Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, those are my disciples. There are three direct disciples. You should have seen Duobao. The one surrounded by Gengjin Qi is Jinling, and the other one is Wudang.

The remaining dozen or so are all registered disciples. My favorite is Wu Yunxian. Because of his poor foundation, my second brother opposed me taking him as a direct disciple, but all his treatment is in accordance with that of a direct disciple."

Speaking of his disciples, Tongtian introduced them to Bai Jing with great interest. It can be seen that Tongtian likes his disciples very much.

At this time, three of the four true disciples of Tongtian have been acquired, and the seven attendants are also all present. The subsequent important disciples of Jiejiao will probably be accepted after Jiejiao moves to Jin'ao Island.

It is worth mentioning that Tongtian’s last disciple, Gui Ling, is said to be the descendant of a black tortoise whose four legs were cut off.

Now that Jianmu is supporting the heaven and earth and the four legs of the black turtle have not been cut off, the turtle spirit should have no chance of reaching the sky.

When Bai Jing watched the Investiture of the Gods in his previous life, he liked Gui Ling very much. It just so happened that Bai Jing also wanted to talk to Black Turtle. If there was a chance, Bai Jing planned to accept Gui Ling as his disciple.

After Tongtian finished introducing his disciples, Yuanshi Tianzun also talked about his own disciples: "Daoist Bai Jing, they are my disciples. Let's not talk about Nanji for now. Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Huanglong, Juliusun, Taiyi, Lingbao, Wenshu, Puxian, Cihang, these nine people are first-class virtuous immortals, especially Cihang, who has some fate with Daoist Bai Jing!"

Bai Jing smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "Fellow Daoist Yuanshi's vision in recruiting disciples is naturally very good. As for this Cihang, his true form should be a twin white lotus, right?"

"That's right. Cihang is the incarnation of a twin white lotus that I encountered by chance when traveling in the South China Sea. I saw that he had great blessings and great luck, so I accepted him as my disciple."

"So that's how it is. This person is somewhat similar to me, so it can be considered as fate. I'll give this to him as a gift!" After saying that, Bai Jing took out two leaves of the Wudao tea tree and handed them to Yuanshi Tianzun.

The smile on Yuanshi Tianzun's face became even wider. He was obviously very happy that his disciple could be recognized by such a great man as Bai Jing.

"Fellow Daoist Taiqing, are those your disciples?" Bai Jing pointed to the last dojo and asked. Laozi shook his head and said, "My disciple is only Xuandu, and the rest are some acquired creatures with good talents. The Taoism I founded has the responsibility to educate acquired creatures. I often go down the mountain to bring some acquired creatures with good talents to Kunlun Mountain and teach them the great way of the golden elixir."

Bai Jing smiled slightly when he heard this. The sect founded by Laozi changed from human religion to Taoism, and the way of the golden elixir was also changed from being taught to the human race to being taught to all acquired creatures. That's why Laozi acted in this way and taught many acquired creatures the way of the golden elixir.

In this case, there are quite a few acquired creatures that are related to Laozi, which is also a variable.

"Fellow Daoist Bai Jing, have you been accepting any disciples in recent years?" Laozi asked.

"No, I am the same as Taoist Taiqing. I only have one disciple, Kong Xuan. But if I meet someone I like later, I will probably accept other disciples!"

I nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Then everyone came to the Sanqing Temple together.

After the four of them sat down, Tongtian asked, "Brother Bai Jing, it is quite rare for a saint to discuss Taoism. Can my disciples be allowed to watch?"

Before Bai Jing could answer, Yuanshi Tianzun frowned and said, "Third brother, most of your disciples are those who were born from eggs, or have hair and horns. Not only do they not cultivate virtue, but they also always commit murders. How can such disciples listen to the teachings of a saint?"

Tong Tian obviously didn't expect that Yuanshi Tianzun would actually say this about his disciples in front of Bai Jing, an outsider. His face instantly turned cold: "Second brother, what do you mean by this? My disciples have always been respectful to you and have never stepped over the line. Do you act like an elder when you say this about them?"

Yuanshi Tianzun's face turned ugly when he heard this. Why didn't his third brother understand?

Leaving aside his direct disciples, the registered disciples he accepted were all worse than the other, and some of them particularly liked to eat people.

Bai Jing has always been very caring towards the human race. Now that he sees that one of Tongtian’s registered disciples likes to eat people, what will he think?

He was clearly doing this for his own good, but Tongtian didn't appreciate it, which made Yuanshi Tianzun feel very uncomfortable, but he didn't mean to give in. He said coldly: "You can listen to our discussion, but your registered disciples are not allowed to come and listen."

Tongtian glanced at Laozi, who sighed and said, "Then only the three of us direct disciples will be allowed to come and listen to the teachings! Those acquired beings I brought back will not be allowed to come either."

Since Laozi said so, Tongtian had no choice but to agree.

Yuanshi Tianzun was a little embarrassed. He actually forgot about his elder brother. Now the acquired creatures brought back by his elder brother also missed this opportunity.

But now that things have come to this, if we change it now, it would not just be a matter of losing face.

So that was settled.

Soon, all the disciples of the three religions arrived at the Sanqing Temple.

Leading the way is Taoist Xuandu.

Following closely behind are Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Huanglong, Juliusun, Taiyi, Lingbao, Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Cihang of the Chan school.

Finally there are Duobao, Jinling and Wudang from Jiejiao.

There are a total of thirteen direct disciples of the three religions.

After these thirteen people came in, they bowed deeply to Sanqing and Bai Jing.

Bai Jing smiled and nodded, then waved his hand and gave each of them two pieces of Wudao tea as a gift.

Those who can be accepted as disciples by the Three Pure Ones must have good vision, and they are familiar with natural treasures such as Wudao Tea.

Especially Duobao, he has an innate keen sense of natural treasures. When he saw the enlightenment tea in front of him, Duobao's eyes lit up.

Everyone put away their tea leaves and bowed to Bai Jing to express their gratitude.

Bai Jing smiled and nodded, then began to discuss Taoism with Yuanshi Tianzun.

The two people's discussion mainly revolved around the way of refining weapons. Yuanshi Tianzun's direct disciples all had a certain understanding of the way of refining weapons, so it was not too difficult to understand.

Among Tongtian’s disciples, Duobao learned Bai Jing’s simplified version of the weapon refining method, so he could naturally understand it.

Jin Ling is the innate Gengjin Qi in form, and he also has some understanding of the way of instruments. Although it sounds confusing at first, he has gained something from it.

Xuan Du and Wu Dang knew nothing about refining equipment, so naturally they didn't understand anything.

However, both of them were listening very seriously, trying to remember as much as possible about what the saints said, so that when they reach a higher level in the future, they will naturally be able to apply what they have learned to other situations.
