Chapter 84, Greed(1/2)
The five-member group of people gathered together, and the Lingshan Holy Meeting came to an end. As for the remaining disaster arrangements, it had nothing to do with Li Mu.
As Journey to the West approached, Li Mu felt that his day of enlightenment was not far away. The practitioners of Taoism had very accurate premonitions in this regard. They didn't bother to continue to cause trouble for Buddhism, so they returned to Heaven early.
There are endless disasters on the road of cultivation, let alone the enlightenment of Hunyuan. The outside world only saw Li Mu's smooth sailing, but did not see his painstaking planning along the way.
The main premise of a smooth journey is to bring great merits into one's body. This is the prehistoric way of heaven. As long as you are willing to spend merit, the disasters on the road to cultivation can be weakened or even eliminated invisible.
The heavenly tribulation is gone, and the earthly tribulation and the human tribulation are naturally no longer a problem. After all, Li Mu reported the saint's thigh early, and did not provoke any enemies. There is also the great trend of the human race's prosperity and great merits.
With so many favorable conditions gathered, if there is still a disaster, it would be unreasonable.
But this kind of smooth flow also comes at a price. That is, it means spending merits like flowing water. The outside world thinks that he has great merits, but his family knows that his family affairs are indeed somewhat merits, but he is still a little short of it to avoid the Hunyuan calamity.
If it weren't for increasing the probability of experiencing Hunyuan, he wouldn't have planned to drill into the heaven.
Although Bo Yikao and Lei Zhenzi died miserably, they were all about to be in a hurry and had to perish. Even so, Li Mu had planned for many years before he succeeded.
If the two of them were too shameless and didn't care about the influence of external public opinion, they would stay in the heaven and not move, and Li Mu would not give up on them.
It is one thing to attack the Six Emperors of Heaven on the surface, which is a provocation to the Three Realms Government.
The key to offending the gods in the Heavenly Court is to stand opposite to the way of heaven. Tiehan, who dares to fight against the great power of heaven, has rarely lived these days.
The rapid demise of the Great Qin Dynasty also caused the backlash of the number of days to kill Gou Chen Emperor. If it weren't for the backlash of days to be too powerful, Li Mu would not have brought the demon clan together to bear the cause and effect of killing Ziwei Emperor.
Now that he is changing his position, Li Mu naturally needs to make the most of the advantages brought by Emperor Gou Chen. Regardless of the rest, the Hunyuan tribulation can be placed in the heaven.
If you really encounter a robbery and block the way, it will be not difficult to drag the Heavenly Court into the water with all the younger brothers in your hands.
"Master, the Emperor of Heaven is invited!"
The difference between closeness and alienation is reflected everywhere, and the Gou Chen Palace is no exception. Outsiders call Li Mu the Great Emperor, but the disciples of the martial arts lineage all call him "ancestor".
The simple word "ancestor" seems ordinary, but in fact it reminds the gods at all times: Don't forget your identity.
As the second largest faction in the Heavenly Court and occupying the most divine positions, the identity of a disciple of the Martial Arts lineage is enough to make everyone proud.
The only regret is that the saints of the martial arts lineage have not yet been born, and they cannot compete with the great sects, so they can only join if they can't play.
When Li Mu nodded slightly, he secretly began to think. When he arrived at the Heavenly Court, the Emperor of Heaven sent an invitation, obviously not for a small matter.
However, Buddhism is about to prosper, and in order to avoid causing trouble, major forces are unwilling to jump out and cause trouble. The prehistoric world is in a rare period of peace, and nothing major happened in the Heavenly Court.
Unless we discuss the impact of the great rise of Buddhism on the Heavenly Court, or the countermeasures that the Heavenly Court needs to take. If this is the case, then all the gods in the Heavenly Court must participate.
After all, although Li Mu had had several social interactions with Haotian, both sides were worried and they were just a simple taste. They were a gentleman's friendship as light as water.
Apart from working together to gain the position of Six Emperors, they did not have any profit. Moreover, the two were the leaders of the two largest factions in the Heavenly Court, so it was difficult for them to have a close relationship.
Unclearing the situation, Li Mu was still happy to be invited. No matter what, Emperor Tian had to give face.
In one of the three-point land in the Heavenly Court, Li Mu was not prepared to compete with the Emperor of Heaven. What everyone wants now is different, and there is no need to become an enemy at all.
...
"See Your Majesty!"
Looking at the man in blue in front of him, if he hadn't changed his breath, Li Mu would not believe that this was the Emperor Haotian who was causing headaches for the great powers of Buddhism and Taoism.
Obviously, Haotian has not been in vain in these years. After throwing the responsibility of the Emperor of Heaven to his own corpse, Haotian's cultivation level has far exceeded that of that year after years of insidious cultivation.
But now Haotian is: success is the position of Emperor Tian, and defeat is the position of Emperor Tian.
As the nominal lord of the Three Realms, the position of Emperor Tian has great opportunities. With the great fortune and merits brought by the Emperor Tian, Haotian's cultivation has also soared all the way.
But "there is no free lunch in the world", while enjoying merits and luck, the Emperor of Heaven also bears corresponding rights and responsibilities, cause and effect.
Haotian's current situation is very obvious, and his cultivation is indeed rising, but the accumulated cause and effect are also increasing day by day.
Cause and effect are not a good thing for monks. Even if you are the Emperor of Heaven, you cannot be an exception.
Haotian is currently trapped by the cause and effect of beings in the prehistoric world, which leads to hindering the cultivation level and making it difficult to go further.
If you can't take this step, let alone Hunyuan Dao, even the current throne cannot be retained forever. If you continue, you might be rejected by the Heavenly Dao one day.
"Fellow Daoist Taihua, you're welcome! There is no Heavenly Emperor here, there is only an ordinary seeker. Fellow Daoist might as well call me: Haotian."
Haotian said carelessly.
It seems that glory, prosperity, and power have become the past in his eyes, and are not worth mentioning at all.
This scene made Li Mu recognise Haotian.
"It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality."
Glory and wealth are unforgettable enough, let alone the supreme power that can determine the fate of life in the three realms with just one word.
After hesitating a little, Li Mu asked directly: "I wonder what the so-called "Fellow Daotian invited me this time?"
Even Haotian can let go, so he can naturally let go. In Li Mu's opinion, the so-called status and other things are not as reliable as his own strength.
If he hadn't been strong enough, Haotian wouldn't have put down his airs of Emperor Tian and had a peaceful conversation with him.
If you can't let go of your airs, the key to the problem is whether it is worth it. A dragon does not live with a snake, a strong person does not associate with an ants, and the premise of a peer-to-people's friendship is always strength.
"Fellow Daoist Taihua, please see!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the water mirror in Haotian's hand expanded rapidly, and chaos appeared in the picture.
Through the deep chaos, the Chaos Demon Gods gathered in groups of three or five, and their cultivation levels are also uneven.
The worst cultivation level is the Daluo realm, while the highest cultivation level is just a phantom, and the facial expressions cannot be seen clearly.
Even so, Li Mu did not dare to peek directly, so as not to attract the other party's attention and bring a life-and-death crisis to himself.
The dignity of the strong cannot be desecrated. Being able to see a clue and not being discovered by the other party is enough to prove that the treasure mirror in Haotian’s hand is extraordinary.
The picture is still changing, and small dots appear in the picture outside the endless void. If Li Mu had not observed carefully, he would have almost ignored the past.
Although the levels of these worlds are very low, if you can encounter a world in the vast chaos, it will be a great fortune.
Continuing to watch the screen, Li Mu's expression suddenly became solemn.
Outside the distant void, a vast world at its peak is constantly moving. It can be vaguely judged that it is coming from the prehistoric world, and it is also devouring new worlds from time to time.
The picture came to an abrupt end here, and Li Mu, who was still unsatisfied, sighed secretly. Unfortunately, he had an opportunity to understand the enemy outside the territory.
I don’t know if the Haotian Mirror itself has limited abilities or Haotian did it intentionally, this is the closest time Li Mu has been to the truth.
After putting aside these messy thoughts, Li Mu, who was still nervous, asked uncertainly: "Fellow Daotian, is this an extraterrestrial demon god about to invade?"
If you don’t care, there will be no one who can be called a demon god. If they are all demon gods with low cultivation, it would be fine. If the demon god above Hunyuan comes, Li Mu will have to catch him blindly.
"Not bad! As fellow Taoist Taihua guessed, these are all extraterrestrial demons who invaded the prehistoric world.
However, the power of the Haotian Mirror is limited, so I can only observe a small part of it, or they deliberately released it for us to see it."
Haotian said calmly.
It seems that he is confident and does not care about the invasion of the demons outside the territory.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu, who was originally a little panicked, suddenly calmed down.
It is true that the enemy is coming in a fierce manner, but the prehistoric world is not a soft persimmon. If it weren't for the successive explosions of the prehistoric world, a large number of strong men fell and damaged their vitality, they wouldn't have fallen into embarrassment.
Whoever did the matter was responsible for the aftermath. If the sky really fell, it would be the ancestor Hongjun and the six saints who were the ones who were in charge of it.
If these people can't stand it, it will be useless no matter how anxious they are. With Li Mu's current cultivation level, he does not have the ability to win the big battle.
"I guess fellow Taoist Haotian invited me to come, it should be related to the invasion of the demon gods outside the territory?
But with my tiny little ability, it is unlikely that it will play a lot of role in such a war!”
Li Mu said expressionlessly.
It is impossible to show off your strength. If you participate in a war at this level, you will die if you are not careful. Without enough self-protection, Li Mu will not die.
"That's right, I invited fellow Taoist Taihua to come over because of the Chaos Demon God invaded the prehistoric world.
But fellow Taoist Taihua is really too humble. With fellow Taoist strength, he is definitely not a weak person in chaos.
The origin of the prehistoric world is the richest and the laws of heaven are the most stringent, which creates a series of holy worlds of practice, which is incomparable to other worlds.
Because of the innate origin, in the same realm, the strong people who have walked out of the prehistoric world are among the best in chaos, far beyond the reach of creatures in ordinary worlds.
Although there are many Hunyuan monks among the invading demon gods outside the domain, if they really start to take action, there are very few who can beat fellow Taoist Taihua.
If not, the saints could not easily repel the attacks of a group of Chaos Demon Gods. In my opinion, the saints should have a big plan for the demon gods outside the domain, otherwise the chaotic demon gods that appeared near the prehistoric world would have died long ago."
Haotian explained with a smile.
The same is to attain enlightenment of Hunyuan, the difficulty faced by pursuing enlightenment in different worlds is different, and the corresponding strength will be greatly affected.
If all worlds really have strict laws of heaven in the prehistoric world and are difficult to comprehend, I am afraid that all the monks of Hunyuan will be extinct in chaos.
There is no way, who can make the laws contained in the heavenly world different? Many worlds themselves are incomplete. If you want to realize Hunyuan, you will inevitably take shortcuts.
Either you are in line with the heavenly way and rely on the blessing of the heavenly way to prove the way; or you go to Chaos to find the origin of the high-level world to swallow it, and forcibly realize the Tao Hunyuan.
Compared with the cultivation level of hard work, the broken mirror brought by opportunism is ultimately inferior. Coupled with the gap in innate origin, this gap will be further magnified.
A top-notch powerful man like Li Mu may not be the opponent of such a pseudo-Hunyuan monk, but it is not difficult to save his life under his command.
