Primordial Era: This Heavenly Emperor is Too Powerful

Chapter 179 The Supreme Being Sets Up a Calamity

Should we just go into seclusion?

As soon as the thought arose, Taishang immediately extinguished it.

Sages are very busy.

They are all busy trying to understand the Tao.

But the truth is something that Yuanshi Tianzun, being a sage himself, naturally knows.

Given everyone's current state of bad luck, who can figure out anything?

If you don't even have the luck to support your enlightenment, what kind of enlightenment are you trying to achieve by going into seclusion?

Why is Wu dozing off?

Without a suitable reason, one should refuse to see the Primordial Celestial Venerable.

That would send a bad signal.

The Tongtian Cult Leader is now heartbroken.

If we refuse to let Yuanshi Tianzun in again.

Then he, the Supreme Emperor, will be all alone from now on.

Considering the consequences, the Supreme Being decisively said, "Come in!"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun entered the Eight Views Palace.

He nodded slightly and said, "Greetings, elder brother!"

"Second brother, please have a seat!"

After Yuanshi Tianzun took his seat, Taishang spoke, "Second brother, what brings you here to see me?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately said, "Elder brother!"

Haotian became increasingly unscrupulous.

Now he has attained enlightenment and realized the Primordial Chaos.

We sages are also confined to chaos.

If this continues, it will be very detrimental to our development of a large-scale education system.

Like this time, it was clearly something that everyone could gain merit from.

But Haotian, because he didn't want to, was determined to ruin things.

Moreover, those celestial deities.

They thought that by joining the Heavenly Court, they would no longer be under the pressure of Haotian.

They don't even care about accumulating merit anymore.

The majesty of our sage has been greatly diminished compared to that of the gods.

These situations must be stopped!

Upon hearing the words of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, Taishang also fell into deep thought.

After pondering for a moment, Taishang had a plan.

But we still need to see what Yuanshi Tianzun thinks first.

Otherwise, you'd be begging the Primordial Celestial Venerable for help.

Then the Supreme Elder spoke up: "Second Brother!"

Since you've come looking for me, brother, you must already have a plan, right?

Upon hearing these words, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable immediately looked embarrassed.

Planning?

What schemes could I possibly have?

If I had a plan, would I still be coming to you?

Realizing his own predicament, Yuanshi Tianzun had no choice but to honestly say, "Elder brother!"

There's nothing I can do about this.

I have come here today to seek advice from my elder brother.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Lord nodded.

He then said, "If we directly target Haotian in this matter, I don't have a good solution either."

However, the old Taoist priest had some ideas for approaching the issue from other angles.

Upon hearing the Supreme Being's reply, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable hurriedly said, "Elder brother, please enlighten me!"

Upon hearing this, Taishang didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "As a great religion of sages, our advantage lies in mastering all kinds of secret methods."

In addition, the inheritance is orderly.

Educating and guiding is the duty of us sages and great teachers.

In this primordial world, beings do not know what fear is, thus they are burdened by karma.

I believe that we must add a shackle to all living beings in the primordial world.

Let them learn to respect.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun asked in confusion, "What are these shackles you speak of, elder brother?"

Taishang glanced at Yuanshi Tianzun and said, "Second brother!"

The shackles I spoke of, brother, are the tribulations that cultivators face.

The cultivators of today are living too comfortably.

Once one enters the path of immortality, one can enjoy a long lifespan.

They acted recklessly and wantonly.

Therefore, I believe...

We should impose three calamities and nine tribulations upon all living beings in the primordial world.

Let them understand that acting recklessly is unacceptable.

From now on, all cultivators in the primordial world shall be judged according to the depth of their karma.

Every five hundred years, it endures a calamity.

This tribulation does not consider cultivation level, but only the merits of the cultivator.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately fell silent.

He looked at the Supreme Lord with a strange expression in his eyes.

If you hadn't said that to my face, you wouldn't have said it.

Even I have to suspect that you are deliberately targeting me.

In this ancient world, who doesn't know that among the disciples of my Chan Sect, those who are most likely to attract karmic consequences?

Your consideration of karma is putting me in a very difficult position.

Thinking of this, Yuanshi Tianzun hurriedly said, "Elder brother!"

Isn't this calamity a bit too much...?

However, before Yuanshi Tianzun could finish speaking, Taishang confidently laughed and said, "Second brother, don't be in a hurry!"

Since I, as your elder brother, have come up with this idea, I will naturally leave a sliver of hope.

Besides warding off calamities and misfortunes through virtuous deeds.

One can also use innate spiritual fruits and supernatural powers to evade them.

Our great religion naturally possesses supernatural powers to avert calamities.

The one who should be worried about this is Haotian.

After all, there are many cultivators in the Heavenly Court, and many of them still have karmic burdens.

Once the matter of calamity is settled, who would dare to refuse acts of merit in the future?

Even if Haotian, along with the cultivators who had previously joined the Heavenly Court, had already accumulated enough merit.

However, there are still millions of cultivators who have only recently joined the Heavenly Court.

These cultivators will not require our intervention in the future.

They would then force Haotian to earn merit.

This is what the people desire, and Haotian cannot refuse it.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun hurriedly said, "Brother, your plan is brilliant!"

It is only in our name that this calamity has been incurred.

I'm afraid this will attract a lot of criticism.

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Lord nodded and said, "That is indeed the case!"

This matter is of great importance and is beyond our control to decide.

So, let's go find our master together.

This matter is of great importance and is beyond our control to decide.

So, let's go find our master together.

Only with his involvement can this matter be settled legitimately.

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately stood up and said, "Elder brother!"

Let's go find our master now!

The Supreme Being was naturally unconcerned, as he had the Primordial Heavenly Venerable as his companion.

In addition, the banner he raised was also for the sake of the prehistoric world.

This matter is definitely going to succeed.

After leaving the temple, the two saints began searching for the Purple Cloud Palace amidst the chaos.

soon.

The location of Zixiao Palace came to mind.

Upon entering the main hall of Zixiao Palace, the two emperors bowed deeply.

"Greetings, Master!"

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu glanced at the two saints.

He then said calmly, "Get up!"

"What brings you here to see this old Taoist priest?"

Upon hearing this, the Supreme One replied, "Reporting to the Master!"

"This disciple has come for the purpose of educating and enlightening the people of the primordial world."

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu immediately looked at Taishang in surprise.

He began to ponder it to himself.

For the purpose of primordial civilization?

That's quite unusual!

He then asked, "What are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, the Supreme One replied, "Reporting to the Master!"

This disciple believes that the moral conduct of the cultivators in the primordial world is currently lacking.

As a result, countless eons have accumulated in a very short period of time.

In order to warn all beings, I believe that a specific calamity should be set.

This is to regulate the behavior of all living beings, enabling them to better maintain the primordial order.

Upon hearing this, Hongjun Daozu immediately became interested.

If it can truly regulate the behavior of all living beings, then that would be a good thing.

Then, after a hundred years, Hongjun Daozu said, "Tell me in detail."

The Supreme Lord nodded and said, "Yes!"

This disciple believes that a calamity should be set.

We should assess sentient beings based on the depth of their karma.

The cultivator's own karma has brought down three calamities and nine tribulations.

Moreover, in order to serve as a warning, these three calamities and nine misfortunes should not be separated by too much time.

Only in this way can we constantly remind all beings to do good deeds and avoid evil ones.
