Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful

Chapter 180 The Saints Discuss the Tribulation

Upon hearing the Supreme Being's thoughts, Hongjun Daozu couldn't help but glance at Yuanshi Tianzun.

The implications of this consideration made Yuanshi Tianzun break out in a cold sweat.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

His disciples from the Chan Sect, under the tutelage of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, are the ones who attract the most karma.

Now they're actually getting involved, stirring up all sorts of disasters and calamities together.

It's not hard to imagine that something is definitely going on here.

Then, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun said, "Since it involves calamity, it also carries the meaning of punishment."

This matter could not be avoided by the Heavenly Court.

Let Haotian come here and discuss this.

After he finished speaking, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun transmitted his voice to Haotian a hundred years later.

The meaning is obvious: I know you have ulterior motives.

But the old Taoist priest was too lazy to deal with you, so he threw out Haotian and told you to negotiate yourselves.

That went well.

Then it will be implemented smoothly.

If the talks don't go well, that's your problem.

Don't say the old Taoist priest didn't give you a chance.

A short while later.

Haotian arrived at Zixiao Palace.

After glancing at the two saints, Haotian bowed to the Dao Ancestor and said, "Disciple greets Master!"

Hongjun Daozu looked at Haotian and said, "Get up!"

Previously, Taishang and Yuanshi came to seek out the old Taoist.

The cultivators of the primordial world are now lacking in virtue and intend to set up three calamities and nine tribulations.

This serves to regulate the behavior of all beings and also to warn them.

What are your thoughts on this, Haotian?

Upon hearing this, Haotian couldn't help but glance at Taishang and Yuanshi Tianzun.

These two actually came up with this kind of suggestion.

Is this an attempt to drag all the cultivators of the primordial world down with them and destroy their future?

Perhaps the teachings of the Supreme Beings will not have too many problems.

But how can you, Yuanshi Tianzun, be so confident in saying this?

Do you think that by being imprisoned for five kalpas, your sect of Chan Sect can become true moral cultivators?

After a moment's thought, Haotian said, "I agree to this matter in principle."

After all, this method can indeed serve to awaken and enlighten the masses.

but.

I also have some doubts.

This method is applicable to all cultivators and living beings in the primordial world.

Or is it only aimed at beings outside of the major religions?

Also, how often do we experience a calamity?

In addition, there are these three calamities and nine disasters.

Since it is not a great calamity, there must be a way to avoid it.

Is this method of avoiding calamity exclusive to certain cultivators?

Some cultivators may be able to exclusively enjoy the method of avoiding calamity.

I think it's better not to implement this method.

It's too targeted, and it will definitely cause widespread resentment.

This is also detrimental to the stability of the primordial world.

It would have been better not to do this at all.

That saved a lot of trouble.

As Haotian finished speaking, Hongjun Daozu turned his gaze to Taishang.

Noticing the Dao Ancestor's gaze, Taishang explained, "Since the purpose is to awaken all living beings, this calamity cannot be delayed for too long."

In my old age, once every five hundred years is just right.

Also.

Since it is meant to warn all living beings, it naturally includes all creatures in the entire prehistoric world.

The three calamities and nine tribulations are not comparable to the great eons.

Cultivators naturally have ways to avoid it.

This can be considered as leaving a glimmer of hope.

As for how to avoid it, there are two.

One is to use the innate spiritual fruit to avoid calamity.

Those who obtain innate spiritual fruits are considered to have some good fortune.

There must be a glimmer of hope.

Secondly, some supernatural powers and methods can also help one avoid calamities.

..

Upon hearing this, Haotian immediately understood.

So you were waiting for me here?

Supernatural powers and magic?

You great religions of saints, how could you lack supernatural powers and methods?

It also says that all living beings in the entire prehistoric world are included in it.

This is clearly aimed at all those who are not disciples of major sects.

Haotian then said, "Since it is aimed at all living beings in the prehistoric world, in my opinion, we should not let any supernatural powers or methods be used to avoid the calamity."

Otherwise, what's the point of talking about all living beings?

You great religions of saints, how could you lack supernatural powers and magic?

Such actions are unfair!

"Either don't do it at all, or do it fairly."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Lord frowned and asked, "Then, in the Heavenly Emperor's opinion, what should be done?"

Haotian replied, "Since we must highlight fairness, we must also leave a glimmer of hope for all living beings."

In my opinion, there should be no supernatural powers or methods that can avert calamities.

The innate spiritual fruit represents an opportunity, a glimmer of hope, and there's not much more to say about it.

What kind of opportunity is the supernatural ability to communicate with others?

Will each of you spread your supernatural powers and methods outside your families?

This clearly shows an intention to deliberately avoid the disciples of their own sect.

Let the suffering of the primordial beings make life more comfortable for you saints and great religions.

So all that fuss you two have been up to is this?

So, if you are truly sincere, it is for the sake of the primordial world.

Let's be straightforward: without merit and innate spiritual fruits, one cannot avoid calamity.

What do you two think?

Upon hearing Haotian's words, Taishang immediately turned his gaze to Yuanshi Tianzun.

The meaning is obvious.

What does the Chan Sect think?

Can the problem of karma be resolved?

If you can't figure it out, then say it now.

At worst, it's better to ruin things than to suffer later.

When Yuanshi Tianzun saw Taishang asking him questions, he was somewhat annoyed.

What's going on? It's like only our Chan Church has problems?

I, Yuanshi Tianzun, a dignified sage, am not capable of dealing with mere karma?

Karma?

Isn't that a piece of cake?

I may not have much else, but I do have some merit.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun nodded slightly.

Seeing that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable had agreed, Taishang immediately said, "For the sake of fairness, let us follow the Heavenly Emperor's words."

Seeing that the two sides had almost reached an agreement, Dao Ancestor Hongjun said, "You have reached an agreement."

The old Taoist priest will double-check.

Are you sure you won't regret it in the future?

If the old Taoist priest makes this decision now, there will be no room for regret later.

Upon hearing this, Haotian and the other cultivators immediately nodded and said, "No regrets!"

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded and said, "Very well!"

Since no one regrets it, then this old Taoist priest will announce the matter.

Upon hearing this, Haotian's heart stirred.

"teacher!

Should we inform the other sages about this matter first?

Should we let them discuss this as well?

After all, this matter involves other sages.

Upon hearing this, Dao Ancestor Hongjun nodded and said, "Very well!"

Let them hear it too.

Immediately, Hongjun Daozu notified the other four saints.

soon.

The other four saints arrived.

Hongjun Daozu recounted the events.

Upon hearing the whole story, Zhunti and Jieyin's expressions immediately turned grim.

Your cat!

The Supreme Lord and the Primordial Beginning are up to something again.

If you keep doing things this way, how many disciples will my Buddhist sect be able to retain?

How can we proselytize then?

What's the point of spreading it?

In the end, they all have to turn to ashes amidst all sorts of calamities and tribulations.

Immediately, Zhunti spoke up: "I hereby report to the Dao Ancestor!"

"We Buddhists are outsiders; we should not be subject to such calamity."

As soon as Zhunti finished speaking, Haotian immediately turned his gaze to Taishang and Yuanshi Tianzun.

The meaning is obvious.

You're the ones who caused this mess, and now the Buddhist community has a single sentence telling them to stay home completely.

In the end, it is we Xuanmen cultivators who suffer.

You must get this sorted out.
