Chapter 1: The First Seal of God

  Seal of the Gods?

  Seal of the Gods?

  NNB wants to seal the gods?

  When the two words "Seal God" were heard from Hongjun's mouth, all the saints were frightened. What is Seal God? These saints naturally understood that even if they didn't understand before, with one sentence from Hongjun Laozu, the heavenly machine was already clear, and it was easy for them to figure out the beginning and end of things.

  To say the most painful among saints, it's none other than the two Western Saints. At this moment, Zhunti finally knew what he had done, that was to drag his Western teachings into an irreparable situation!

  He originally had a bitter and tired expression, but now it's even more so. The other saints can't help but want to give him two punches. You're a saint, yet you always have this look on your face, who are you showing it to? If saints are also miserable, then what about the other immortals who are struggling on the path of cultivation?

  Another one that makes me uneasy is the Tianxian Sect Master, because this calamity also involves his disciples who intercepted the teachings, it's just unknown whether the karma tied to Haotian will affect those few inner sect disciples of mine.

  The old man and the original were fine, one was because he had guessed it before, and the other was because this time they didn't get involved in the cause and effect of their doors, so they didn't care. As for Nüwa, she just smiled and watched the saints anxiously, what can you do? She doesn't even have a disciple, how can you expect her to be on the list of gods?

  Hong Jun swept his gaze over the six people's expressions, feeling relieved that at least his Xuanmen disciples could protect the Tianjiao lineage, which was a blessing in disguise.

  "This calamity is caused by the Western religious sects and the outer disciples of the Intercepting Sect who do not cultivate virtue, provoking the Lord of the Three Realms. Moreover, all four sectarian disciples who have not obtained permission from the Sage are in this calamity."

  Having said that, he closed his eyes and didn't ask anything more.

  What? The Primordial Heavenly Lord and Laozi were both stunned, how could this be? They weren't even involved in the cause and effect, yet they had to participate in the calamity of fate? Thinking about it, it's indeed because the Sealing God was just a minor figure, but the real reason is that the causal forces of the Honghuang Great World were too numerous and entangled, leading to the calamity of fate. Regardless of where these causal forces came from, although some of them were poured into the Honghuang by other chaotic demons, they still had to be borne by them. How could the Primordial Heavenly Lord and Laozi possibly remain completely uninvolved?

  "There is a copy of the Investiture of the Gods, which shares the same origin as the Heavenly Book 'Investiture of the Gods' held by the Jade Emperor. You all discuss and decide, then sign the name of the person destined for calamity!"

  Hong Jun Dao Zu didn't care how many thoughts flashed through the minds of the people present, took out a yellow silk banner from his hand and handed it over to the saints for discussion on who would be listed on the banner. After that, he disappeared into the Purple Cloud Palace.

  As the eldest senior, Laozi naturally took over the "Seal of the Gods" from the hands of the saints and the heavenly book "Seal of the Gods" of Huang Tian Yu Di. It should be said that it is a relationship between an avatar and its true self. Otherwise, how could such a rare treasure of heaven and earth be handed over to Jiang Shang, an ordinary mortal, to control?

  Six people saw Hong Jun leave, knowing it was time for them to negotiate among themselves. As a result, they each returned to their own camps. Jie Yin and Zhun Ti, two good friends, naturally gathered together. Yuanshi and Laozi had long since formed an alliance. The master of Tongtian Sect was proud and arrogant, unwilling to form alliances with others, so he sat alone on one side, constantly wiping his Qingpeng sword. His sharp eyes scanned the crowd of saints in front of him, revealing a hint of a transcendent swordsman's demeanor.

  As for Nüwa, she was carefree and playful with her hair, smiling brightly as she waited to watch the show.

  The saints looked at each other, silent and speechless. After a few hours, Laozi couldn't bear it anymore. Hongjun ordered them to decide on the person who would enter the tribulation, but he also couldn't let them stay here forever.

  "My fellow junior brothers, I'll sign first." The old man took the Sealing Chart and wrote down the four big characters of Taishang Laojun with a few strokes. After a flash of light, an old Taoist appeared behind him, who looked 80% similar to him. This was actually the three corpses' split body of Taishang Laojun! There was no other way - he had only one junior brother in the Human Teachings, and as for the three Emperors of the Huoyun Cave, they were nominally under the Human Teachings, but who was whose master? Fuxi was from the same era as his old man, while Xuan Yuan was actually the split body of the original Heavenly Venerable's junior brother. There was no other way - this old Taoist had to take action himself.

  Laozi took the lead and set an example, and other saints also had to sign one by one.

  First of all, the Primordial Heavenly Lord, who has been occupying the moral high ground from the very beginning, would naturally not sign the Seal of Gods. Moreover, his sect only had twelve Golden Immortals, plus Yu Long, Yun Zhongzi and Nanji Xianweng a few disciples. If you must count, Huo Deng was also one, but even if he wanted to let Huo Deng go on the list, it's impossible. After all, Hong Jun said that those above the Quasi-Saint level don't need to be reincarnated. If he insisted on sending Huo Deng onto the Seal of Gods, that guy would probably directly rebel against the Tianxian teachings.

  Tongtian Sect Master took the Sealing List from the original hand, and it was very self-aware to sign up several outer door disciples with poor moral character in their daily lives, but not many, only a few dozen, compared to the situation of cutting off the teachings of Wanxian coming to pay respects, Xiao Wu saw Da Wu.

  The two Western Saints are even more shameless, taking the Sealing List and handing it directly to Nüwa without even looking at it, leaving the Eastern Saint aghast. Is this really how shameless you can be? It was clearly your Western Sect that provoked the calamity, yet not one of you is willing to sign! As the Lord of Tongtian, as a saint with integrity who has signed dozens of quotas, I refuse to participate any further!

  "You two scoundrels, how dare you be so shameless? You Western Sect disciples are not few in number, how can one of you not sign?" The Heavenly Gate Sect Master grasped the Qingfeng Sword, his anger bursting forth, and almost stabbed them directly.

  Jie Yin's face was still pale and bitter, eyes closed reciting scriptures. Zhun Ti's face turned red with shame, afraid of being directly exposed by others! Not to mention he was a saint: "Why didn't you sign the original?!" Zhun Ti couldn't find an excuse, so he brought out the Original Heavenly Master. Jie Yin knew something was wrong as soon as he heard his junior brother's words come out.

  As expected, the original was not too concerned at first, but as a result of a single sentence from Zhenyi, his unnamed fire was stirred up. The three treasures in his hand shone brightly: "What? The two Taoist friends from the West want to verify their Taoist methods with me?" His voice was icy cold.

  Zhun Ti heard that and immediately shut up, sat in silence, making it clear that he wouldn't fight with them, what could they do?

  Tongtian and Yuanshi had a rare consensus, but Zhunti didn't respond. They were also powerful but couldn't find an outlet, so they might as well directly charge up and launch a surprise attack? They still couldn't bear to abandon that person!

  Seeing the crowd calm down, he let out a deep sigh and said: "It's not that I, the Western Sect Master, don't want to sign, but the truth is, my disciples are too few, I really can't sign this divine list!" With his bitter face, it was as if he was about to wipe away tears.

  Nüwa took over the list of gods, casually found a few names of small monsters from the demon tribe, and wrote them down. No way, all the creatures in the world who have attained the Tao are her demons, so it's easy for her to find a few heavenly saints-level small monsters to make up the numbers. Nüwa was completely stress-free.

  In the end, after going around in a circle and returning to Laozi's hands, among the 365 orthodox gods, less than 100 people had filled out their forms. Even though Laozi was calm and serene, he couldn't help but have a strong opinion about the two Westerners: "Western Daoist friend, you said that the number of Western religious followers is small, but I think there are at least 500 people in the Western Pure Land alone?"

  Uh, he was taken aback, he just made an excuse, who would have thought that I, a sacred person, would be so inconsiderate of his face, directly saying how many people were in the Western Church, for a moment his face turned red, almost covering his face and fleeing.

  Zhun Ti was very calm: "That is an ordinary person who believes in my Western Great Law, Old Master Brother you are wrong..."

  "Zhunti! You shameless thing, a mortal? Can mortals possess the power of Taiyi Xuanxian? Can mortals travel through heaven and earth, ferrying those with fate?" Tongtian's fiery temper flared up again, wanting to fight Zhunti to the death.

  Luckily, Laozi knew that the Purple Mansion was not a place for troublemaking. He glared at the two of them with anger: "Enough! This is not a place for you to cause trouble!" When Laozi gets angry, it's different from ordinary people. You should know that when a good-tempered person gets angry, they are generally more terrifying than those with bad tempers.

  You see the overwhelming pressure scattered in my hands...

  At this time, Hong Jun reappeared on the couch, looking at the noisy crowd of saints and sighing helplessly.

  "Since you can't sign the Seal of the Gods, let's discuss it again in a hundred years. Everyone go back for now..."
