Chapter 99 Supernatural Powers - Karma, List of Gods, Flying Bear Vision, Yellow Bear Reincarnates as Jiang Ziya!When several saints heard that the Taoist Patriarch was going to select disciples from several religions to serve in the Heavenly Court and wait for the Heavenly Court's orders, they immediately began to complain. "Daozu, my West is poor and barren. Over the years, I have finally recruited some disciples. If they all go to heaven, how can we in the West be revived? Restoring the Western spiritual veins will be even more of a distant goal. I hope Daozu will understand my Western religion." The Taoist Zhunti pleaded with a bitter voice. The Taoist Jie Yin also said, "Yes, our Western Sect already lacks manpower. If we were to draw more disciples, I'm afraid it would be difficult." Yuanshi Tianzun said: "I only have more than ten disciples. If they are transferred to the Heavenly Palace, the foundation of the Chan Sect will be shaken." The Supreme Saint was not in a hurry: "Daozu, I have several disciples in the Human Sect who are serving in the Heavenly Court. The Human Sect has few disciples to begin with, unless Xuandu is sent to the Heavenly Court, otherwise, I am afraid that I will not be able to transfer any more disciples." Nuwa also began to complain. Tongtian had many disciples and wanted to speak, but he didn't know where to start, so he said, "Daozu, although my Jiejiao has many disciples, if we send all of them to the Heavenly Palace, forming cliques and factions will be detrimental to the Heavenly Palace." Daozu frowned when he saw several saints, each holding an opinion. "The Heavenly Court controls the rotation of the heavens, and is also responsible for monitoring the great wasteland and stabilizing the great wasteland. If there are not enough people to coordinate, how can the great wasteland be stabilized? Since you all have your own opinions, I will bestow the Conferred God List. When the Conferred God Calamity begins, whoever is on the Conferred God List will be determined by their ability." "During this Conferred God Tribulation, the sects cannot remain in seclusion and must send disciples to face the tribulation."
When the six saints heard this, they were all shocked. However, what Daozu said was fair, and they had nothing to say. Whoever is included in the list of gods and canonized as a god depends on his or her ability. If I were to make it to the List of Gods, I could only blame myself for not having good fortune and abilities. I met several great saints and they all had no objection. Daozu moved his hand, and a scroll appeared in his hand. "This is the Heavenly Book of the Conferred God List. If we build a Conferred God Platform, we can absorb the true spirits of the strong. Then, we can enthrone the gods." After saying this, he glanced at several disciples and said, "Taiqing, you are the eldest senior brother, so the Conferred God List will be handed over to you. You need to formulate a plan to promote the Conferred God cause. If you accomplish this, you will definitely gain great merit." After hearing this, Saint Taiqing did not dare to neglect it and immediately took over the List of Gods. Daozu moved his hand again, and a long whip appeared in his hand: "This is the God-beating Whip. It has unexpected effects when used in conjunction with the List of Conferred Gods. This God-beating Whip will be bestowed upon you by me." Saint Taiqing received the divine whip again. Several great saints were all thinking and planning about the matter of deification. They knew that this ancient world was about to change again. Daozu bestowed the Conferred God List and the Divine Whip, and then said: "All of you need to cooperate with Taiqing and send disciples out to respond to the calamity. Whether or not you are included in the Conferred God List depends solely on fate. All of you go down." After hearing this, several saints said goodbye and left. Saint Taiqing was weighed down with many things in his mind. He put away the Divine Whip and the List of Gods and headed towards Shouyang Mountain. …… Taiqing returned to the Bajing Palace on Shouyang Mountain. Summon Xuandu and Huaguang immediately.
After a while, Huaguang and Xuandu arrived at the Bajing Palace together. The two men stepped forward and saluted. The Great Purity Saint then said: "This time I entered the Purple Sky Palace, and Daozu wanted to recruit disciples to serve in the Heavenly Court, but several great saints all had excuses, so Daozu gave the List of Conferred Gods and let me take charge of the great cause of Conferred Gods. This time I summoned you here to discuss this matter." Hua Guang was shocked when he heard this. The plot is wrong. Wasn’t this list of gods bestowed upon Yuanshi Tianzun? How could it be given to our master? It seems that because of my arrival, the trend of the prehistoric world has changed. Xuan Du thought for a moment and said, "The matter of conferring the gods is of great importance, and several major sects are required to participate. This must be a tough task. If it is not done well, it will offend the other saints." "Yes!" The Great Purity Saint sighed, "How could I not know this? But since the Taoist Master ordered me to do so, how could I dare to disobey? So I accepted this difficult task." As the Saint Taiqing spoke, he cast his gaze towards Hua Guang and said, "Hua Guang, our Grandmaster wants to hand this matter over to you. What do you think?" After hearing this, Hua Guang felt helpless but had to agree. "Master, rest assured. I am the Great Emperor Huaguang of the Heavenly Court. I am in charge of the Conferred God Ceremony. It is legitimate. However, the Conferred God Ceremony involves several other major sects, so it is not easy to implement." After hearing this, Saint Taiqing said, "Hua Guang, you just need to push it forward. If other saints interfere, I, the Grandmaster, will take action. Your Master will also help you." After hearing this, Hua Guang thanked the Saint Taiqing. At that moment, Saint Taiqing gave Huaguang the List of Gods and the Divine Whip. Hua Guang took the two treasures and said goodbye. After returning to the cave, Hua Guang sat cross-legged and began to think. According to the plot of Conferred Gods, the catastrophe of Conferred Gods and the war between Shang and Zhou started at the same time. The orthodox sect bet on the Zhou Dynasty, while the evil sect bet on the Shang Dynasty. After that battle, the three religions split and Jiejiao was destroyed. Western religion became the biggest winner. And this time, since I am in charge of the Conferred God Ceremony, I will try my best to avoid such things. According to the normal plot, he should go to the Yuxu Palace, unite with the Chan Sect, negotiate with the Western Sect, and then plot against the Jie Sect. If he did this, he might end up bearing the consequences and be hated by Tongtian. Hua Guang rubbed his head, thinking over and over again, but couldn't come to a conclusion. Then he made some deduction, but found that he could not deduce the trend of Conferred God. After thinking for several days, Hua Guang moved his hand and took out the List of Gods and the Divine Whip. These two treasures are top-grade innate spiritual treasures. I don't know, what's the mystery behind the List of Gods and the Divine Whip? With this thought in mind, Hua Guang’s divine consciousness probed into the List of Conferred Gods and began to comprehend the mysteries of the List of Conferred Gods.
In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed. Hua Guang’s comprehension of the Investiture of the Gods became deeper and deeper. This List of Gods was transformed from the leaves of the Chaos Blue Lotus Sky. It contains the ultimate principles of the universe and the cause and effect of the world. As his understanding deepened, a kind of supernatural power slowly took shape in Huaguang's sea of consciousness. Sure enough, the voice of the reminder sounded in his sea of consciousness: [You comprehend the Heavenly Book of the List of Gods, strike the Divine Whip, and seem to have some realizations. Your power is as great as that of nature, and your understanding is beyond heaven. You comprehend a trace of the law of cause and effect, and comprehend supernatural powers, and retribution for cause and effect.] Immediately, this supernatural power appeared in Huaguang's sea of consciousness. After absorbing the information about the magical powers, Hua Guang couldn't help but feel inexplicably happy. The law of cause and effect is one of the three thousand laws of chaos, and it has endless uses. And this magical power of cause and effect is even more powerful. If the other party is entangled in karma and has suffered terrible consequences, you only need to activate this magical power and the other party will be immediately attacked by karma. In the worst case, one will die from the backlash of cause and effect. This is the supernatural power of the law, and it is extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators to resist. Even if a saint is contaminated by the karma that goes against heaven, the activation of this magical power can cause great interference to him, and even cause his cultivation to regress. Hua Guang was comprehending the List of Gods and the Divine Whip in the Taoist temple, and he actually developed a magical power. After absorbing the information about the magical power of cause and effect, Hua Guang was indescribably happy. This magical power is extremely mysterious. Once used, the power is extremely powerful. Then, he continued to comprehend the List of Gods and learn the mystery of the divine whip. Time flies by. In the blink of an eye, a hundred years passed. Hua Guang seemed to have gained something. He did comprehend another mystery of the List of Gods. If the List of Conferred Gods is refined, then one can use it to gain the ability to enthrone the gods. Moreover, one does not need to absorb true spirits to enthrone gods, and there is no need to build a platform for conferring gods. In other words, he could directly confer the title of God on anyone, whether they died in battle or not. After discovering this mystery, Hua Guang touched his chin. This List of Gods was bestowed by the Taoist Ancestor. If I refine it, will the Taoist Ancestor have anything to say? After thinking about it, Hua Guang finally decided to refine the List of Gods and the Divine Whip so that he could better promote the cause of Conferring Gods. He then extended his divine consciousness, sacrificed the List of Gods, and swung the divine whip. Time passes!
Hua Guang finally completely refined these two treasures. At the same time, he also realized the power of deification. Only then did he break through the barrier. Now, the List of Gods is in hand. Hua Guang plans to travel around the ancient world to find an opportunity to become a god. He then bid farewell to his master, called several disciples over, gave them some instructions, and asked them to practice well. Only then did he leave Shouyang Mountain and head towards the primitive world. Hua Guang left the primitive world and transformed into an old man, riding a mount and walking slowly. In the blink of an eye, three years passed. This day! Hua Guang entered a tribe. It was discovered that the people of this tribe all worshipped a flying bear immortal. He was immediately surprised and slowly stepped into the tribe. I saw several young men, carrying bows and crossbows and weapons, walking out of the tribe. Seeing Hua Guang coming, a young man asked, "Where are you from, old man?" Hua Guang said, "I have traveled all over the world. When I came here, I saw that this tribe has outstanding people and a peaceful place, so I came to take a look. I wonder who the Flying Bear Immortal is in the Flying Bear Temple built in the tribe?" Speaking of the Flying Bear Immortal, the eyes of several young men lit up and they talked incessantly. "The Immortal Flying Bear is the savior of our tribe." "Our Feixiong tribe has experienced several crises, and we were all saved by the Feixiong Immortal who was practicing Taoism nearby." "A few years ago, a mountain torrent broke out and the flood was about to engulf the tribe. The Flying Bear Immortal used his magic to stop the flood, which saved the tribe. When the locust plague occurred, countless people suffered disasters, but the Flying Bear Immortal protected the tribe, and the tribe was not affected by the disaster." "Therefore, this tribe was renamed the Flying Bear Tribe, and we have great respect for the Immortal Flying Bear." After hearing this, Hua Guang became interested in this Flying Bear Immortal. In this case, this Feixiong Immortal is actually a good cultivator. I don’t know where it came from. "I wonder where the Immortal Feixiong lives. I would like to pay him a visit." One of the young men said, "The Flying Bear Immortal lives on the Flying Bear Mountain, ten miles away." Hua Guang asked about the location of Feixiong Mountain, then rode his mount towards the mountain. The Feixiong Mountain is not majestic, it is just a small hill. This mountain is densely wooded and the environment is quiet and peaceful.
There is a cave in the belly of the mountain. In front of the cave, there is a stone tablet with the words "Fei Xiong Cave" engraved on it. Hua Guang rode his mount and came to the outside of Feixiong Cave. He said loudly, "I wonder if Daoist Fellow Feixiong is here?" Not long after, a Taoist with a white beard walked out of the cave. The Taoist priest was dressed in gray and white Taoist robes, and he looked like an immortal. When he saw Hua Guang, he bowed slightly and asked, "Where are you from, Taoist friend?" Hua Guang said: "I passed by here and heard of the name of the Flying Bear Immortal, so I came to investigate." After hearing this, the Immortal Flying Bear said, "Since you are here, why don't you go into the cave and have a chat?" Hua Guang did not hesitate and followed the Taoist into the cave. "Fellow Taoist, please sit down." Hua Guang sat down, and the Feixiong Immortal brewed a pot of tea and brought it to Hua Guang. "Why does Daohe live in seclusion here?" Hua Guang felt that the Taoist in front of him was only at the Golden Immortal realm, so he asked. The Immortal Feixiong said: "I live here, practicing Taoism, just to be free and at ease." Hua Guang said: "I envy you for your life, but it's a pity that you are so obsessed with desires." As he spoke, Hua Guang used his divine eye to investigate the origins of Taoist Fei Xiong. Taoist Feixiong's whereabouts suddenly appeared in his sea of consciousness. Hua Guang was extremely surprised when he saw Taoist Feixiong's origin. This Taoist Feixiong is actually a yellow bear spirit. When Xuanyuan and Chiyou fought each other, this yellow bear demon also came down the mountain to help Xuanyuan and made great contributions. After Xuanyuan ascended to heaven, the Yellow Bear Spirit retired to this place and devoted himself to practicing Taoism. It’s just that his aptitude is poor, and after practicing Taoism for countless years, he is still at the Golden Immortal level. However, Huang Xiong is a kind-hearted person and is not in a hurry to improve his skills. He just wants to live a carefree and happy life. Not only that, Hua Guang also found out that this yellow bear demon was the predecessor of Jiang Ziya, who was once in charge of the Conferred Gods and a key figure in the Conferred Gods Tribulation. Now, the Taoist Patriarch has ordered himself to be in charge of the Conferred God Ceremony. Could it be that the fate of the Yellow Bear Demon has been changed? The yellow bear demon entered reincarnation and became Jiang Ziya. Doesn’t that mean that the yellow bear demon will die? Why would such a virtuous person bring disaster upon himself? Hua Guang and the yellow bear demon were drinking tea and discussing Taoism in the cave.
Hua Guang had a very good impression of the yellow bear demon. During his conversation, he mentioned the subtleties of Taoism and also gave the yellow bear demon some invisible guidance on his cultivation. The yellow bear demon saw Hua Guang, who had profound Taoism and whose understanding of Taoism was far superior to his own. Then he looked at Hua Guang and said, "Your understanding of the Dao is so profound. You are definitely not an unknown person in the prehistoric world. Therefore, I dare to speculate that your understanding is not your true self." When Hua Guang heard this, his figure flashed and he returned to his true appearance. When the yellow bear demon saw him, he immediately leaned forward and bowed: "So it is the Great Emperor Hua Guang who has come in person. Please forgive me for my impoliteness." Hua Guang smiled and said, "No need to be polite." This yellow bear demon had naturally met Hua Guang when he helped Xuanyuan. Therefore, Huaguang can be recognized. Hua Guang said: "Fellow Daoist Huang Xiong, I have something to discuss with you. What do you think?" The Yellow Bear Spirit said, "Just tell me, Taoist friend." Hua Guang said: "Now, the great catastrophe of Conferred Gods is about to come. Daozu has given the Conferred God List, and the Supreme has ordered me to be in charge of Conferred Gods. Daoist friend Huang Xiong is a virtuous person, and he deserves a godhood. Therefore, Daoist friend, why don't you enter the reincarnation and join the human race. If the Conferred God is successful in the future, this emperor will personally enlighten you and confer you a godhood. What do you think?" Taoist Huang Xiong heard this and said, "I naturally trust the Great Emperor and am willing to follow His orders, enter the reincarnation cycle, and complete His Majesty's mission of deifying the gods."
