Chapter 13: The Person Who Seals the Gods (Part 2) (Seeking Recommendations and Favorites)

  The sage calculated that it was only a moment to know the cause and effect. The reason why two flying bears appeared in the dream was not because the sealing of the gods required two people to preside together, but because this time the sealing of the gods was presided over by Yu Xū, and he had a calculation with Laozi in Xuandu Cave, which moved the Heavenly Way, and thus descended two flying bears into the dream, assisting his calculation.

  At the beginning, I was overjoyed. The heavens were still helping me like this. I felt that my plan was almost certain to succeed. Tongtian would definitely be defeated, and at that time, it would be our turn to dominate the world of Taoism. How glorious!

  At this time, Laozi did not know that Yuanshi Tianzun was not planning to send some of the disciples under Tongtianmen into the Fengshenbang, but rather wanted to kill all the disciples of Jie Teaching and not let Jie Teaching revive. After that, there would be no more Jie Teaching, and only one person would dominate the world, and his teachings would be supreme.

  Unfortunately, the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign underestimated the people of the world. At least he underestimated the Western Regions, which he considered to be a barren land. When he was plotting against the Grandmaster of the Tongtian Sect, he didn't know that others were also plotting against him.

  The Western Paradise is now without the myriad Buddhas of later generations, only a few people such as the Medicine Buddha are once again cultivating, and it can be said that the gate is deserted.

  Under the Bodhi tree, Zhunti and the guide sat facing each other. The guide remained in still meditation, his face extremely bitter, with a compassionate golden light appearing on his body, shining brightly.

  Zhun Ti Dao Ren, however, was restless, grasping the seven-treasured wondrous tree in his hand and swaying it back and forth, clearly with an unsettled mind.

  "Junior brother, why is your heart and spirit fluctuating? Calm your mind and concentrate, to comprehend the true meaning of meditation!" The guide said calmly, his voice not loud, but it sounded like a bell ringing in one's ear.

  Zhun Ti's face turned gloomy, and he said: "Senior brother, my Western region is not as vast or prosperous as the Eastern region, with its abundance of talented people and spiritual energy. It is a barren land with little talent to speak of. Now, there are only a few disciples under me, and what's more, you and I are not direct descendants of our sect's founder. We have established our own separate branch, which may already be disapproved by the founder."

  The people on the street heard this and became even more anxious, exclaiming: "Amitabha Buddha!"

  After a moment of silence, Ananda continued: "However, the founder of Taoism once said that our side door will have a great prosperity day, but now there are only a few people in the door, and I don't know what can make it prosperous."

  The Bodhi tree is originally without a tree, the bright mirror is also not a stand. Originally there was not a single thing, where did you stir up dust? Younger brother, why must you be so attached to appearances?

  Zhun Ti let out a bitter laugh, mouth chanting Buddha's name, said: "I also understand the meaning of Shifu Xiong, but how can we two fight against the four Eastern Saints, who are extraordinary and divine? If I don't come up with a plan, I fear that our sect will not be able to prosper for countless kalpas!"

  "But I don't know what you want to do, young master?"

  Zhun Ti said: "I see that the Three Pure Ones of the East are no longer in harmony, and I want to take advantage of the opportunity of the sealing of the gods' fate to come to the Western world to enlighten those who have a predestined connection. If our plan is successful, perhaps by the next kalpa, my teachings will flourish."

  The guide heard this and opened his mouth, but had no words. His face grew increasingly sorrowful and painful, with a look of compassion and sympathy even more pronounced.

  Kunlun Mountains, in front of Qilin Cliff.

  Yuanshi Tianzun was very perplexed, not knowing who to choose as the person to be enshrined as a god, and who to choose as the person to calculate the teachings of the Jiuli sect. Both were people who had entered the dream of flying bears, and it was difficult to make a decision.

  Shen Gong Bao is now also the body of Taiyi Xuanxian, and he is also the best candidate to preside over the sealing of the gods. Unfortunately, his appearance is not good, and he is extremely ugly, not like a dignified person at all.

  If you choose Jiang Ziya, unfortunately his cultivation is only at the level of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, how can he handle the great task of sealing the gods.

  Just then, Jiang Ziya stepped forward and suddenly said: "Teacher, I have something to report!"

  "Oh?" Yuanshi Tianzun listened and exclaimed in surprise, "Tell me more!"

  Shen Gongbao's eyes twitched suddenly, and he saw that Jiang Ziya's face was not right. He was shocked in his heart, cried out "not good", but it was too late to stop Jiang Ziya, so he could only cry out in his heart: "Damn Jiang Ziya!"

  As expected, Jiang Ziya was not talking about other things, but rather about Shen Gongbao hunting and killing the immortal crane and deer, indulging in his desire for boasting. After Jiang Ziya finished speaking, Yuan Shi Tianzun's face had turned dark like the clouds at the edge of the sky, revealing the triumph of anger in his heart.

  But why did Jiang Ziya do so? It was because he suspected that his own talent was dull and foolish. If he could preside over the sealing of the gods, he would surely gain great merit and virtue. On the contrary, the path to immortality would be within reach. So, disregarding his previous promise, he revealed the secret of Shen Gongbao.

  Before Yuanshi Tianzun could react, the Southern Pole Immortal had already burst out in anger, pointing at Shen Gongbao with an uncharacteristic ferocity and shouting: "You scoundrel Shen Gongbao! Did you have my white crane mount killed? You must be avenging yourself for the humiliation I inflicted upon you earlier. Alas, my white crane has been with me for thousands of years of cultivation, only to meet this untimely disaster today. Shen Gongbao, you are no human!"

  Shen Gong Bao couldn't help but think to himself, "Old brother, this time I'm really being framed. Your mount is just too tempting for me, and yet I didn't dare to kill it. However, thanks to Dian Yang Zi's gift of the 'Huang Ting Nei Jing Jing', I'll just have to bear this injustice."

  There's a saying that having debts is better than being debt-free. Anyway, since I've indeed captured and killed the celestial crane and deer, there's no need to refute anything.

  Nanji Xianweng scolded for a while, and only calmed down under the persuasion of others. He still said to Yuanshi Tianzun: "I hope that the teacher will severely punish Shen Gongbao, otherwise it will be difficult for his disciple to dispel the anger in his heart!"

  After Nanji Xianweng left, Shen Gongbao said in a low voice: "Yuanshi Tianzun should make his move now."

  As expected, with a thud, Shen Gongbao knelt to the ground, enveloped by an overwhelming sacred aura, his chest feeling like it was being crushed by a mountain, almost suffocating.

  "Shen Gong Bao, do you know your crime?" The angry voice of Yuanshi Tianzun was like a thunderclap in the clear sky, surging forward, also like a huge bell, shaking Shen Gong Bao's two ears deaf, buzzing with sound.

  "Disciple knows his mistake, hopes Master will forgive him and give the disciple a chance to reform!" At this time, there is no need to make excuses, too many excuses would only displease Yuan Shi Tian Zun. He is still in a rage, so it's better to just admit it honestly.

  "Hmph!" A cold snort, exploded in Shen Gongbao's heart, and his magical powers suddenly lost control for a moment. A hot current burst out, and fresh blood flowed all over the ground.

  At this time, Yun Zhongzi saw that his face was unbearable, after all, he had a good conversation with Sheng Gongbao not long ago. Although Sheng Gongbao's move also made him speechless, he still stepped forward and said: "Please forgive my brother once, knowing the mistake can be corrected, nothing is better than this. I think my brother will not make mistakes again."

  "Indeed, Yun Zhongzi is the best!" Sheng Gongbao secretly exclaimed in his heart and hastily said: "Yes, yes, yes! Disciple will never dare again, I hope Master will forgive me!"

  Yuanshi Tianzun said, "Today, I will only impose a small punishment. Although your death sentence can be commuted, your life imprisonment cannot be pardoned. You are hereby ordered to descend the mountain today and not allowed to ascend the mountain to listen to the Tao for a hundred years. If you perform poorly within these hundred years, from now on, you will never be allowed to return to Mount Kunlun!"

  The immortals were shocked to hear this, and they couldn't believe that Shen Gongbiao would suffer such punishment. It was almost as if he had been expelled from the sect, which would bring eternal shame upon him, not to mention being expelled by a saint.

  Shen Gong Bao's face turned pale after listening, and he nodded repeatedly but didn't dare to speak. After a while, he knocked his head and said: "Your disciple obeys the order!"

  He then cast a hateful glance at Jiang Ziya, bid farewell to the crowd, and rode off on clouds and mist, leaving Kunlun behind.

  Jiang Ziya was stared at by Shen Gongbao with a resentful and hateful gaze, making him tremble with fear, and could only sigh in his heart: "I'm just seeking the path to immortality!"

  "After Shen Gong Bao left, Yuan Shi Tian Zun said: 'Today's matter, must not be spread outside!'"

  "We've been waiting for you!" everyone said.

  Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly and said, "This is very good. Family ugliness should not be spread outside." Then he said, "Jiang Ziya, you can calm your mind and cultivate. When the time comes, I will order you to go down the mountain and seal the gods. After that, you can take some elixirs from Nanji Xianweng to increase your cultivation."

  Yuanshi Tianzun once said that relying on the power of Danshi to improve one's cultivation is a inferior approach, and it can't compare to the solid foundation gained from sitting in meditation and refining one's qi. Therefore, very few people take Dan medicine. However, not long from now, Jiang Ziya will be descending the mountain to preside over the sealing of the gods, so he won't have time to worry about that anymore. It's better to quickly improve his cultivation instead.

  Yuanshi Tianzun then returned to the Jade Void Palace, and the various immortals dispersed. Only Jiang Ziya followed Nanji Xianweng to retrieve the spiritual elixir, after which he returned to his cave and went into seclusion, for the time being.

  After the crowd left, they walked together in pairs, all discussing Shen Gong Bao. Although they had many dislikes for him on ordinary days, now that he was expelled from the school, each of them had a different expression.

  Guang Chengzi, Taiyi Zhenren and others all thought it was very good, clapped their hands in approval. It seemed that Shengong Bao had indeed been disliked by many people for a long time. Only Yunzhongzi felt regretful, but since everyone else thought so, he couldn't say anything. He bid farewell to the crowd first and left on his cloud.

  The rest of the people saw this and didn't blame him, they all said: "Yun Zhongzi is still like this, what a good man!"

  Let's put these aside for now. After Shen Gong Bao left Kunlun Mountain, he had no specific destination in mind and simply wanted to quickly get away from Kunlun Mountain, heading eastward.
