Chapter 494: Receiving the Tao and Helping Much
The number of Heavenly Dao rules not only represents how much rule power can be mobilized, but also determines the number of saints under his command.
How many Heavenly Dao Saints can the Flood Desolate World hold at most? According to Hongjun, it was seven, because he only took out a total of seven Hongmeng purple qi back then.
Six of them were successfully refined, giving birth to the six saints of the Three Qings, the Two Sages of the West, and Nuwa. And the last one was given to Hongyun Ancestor, but Hongyun Ancestor had no blessing to end, and ended up with a dead soul, so he returned to Hongjun's hands, and he never took it out again.
Therefore, everyone in the world thinks that the flood can only accommodate seven Heavenly Dao saints at most.
However, they forgot that Hongjun himself is also a saint, and counting him, there are at least eight of them!
Before, Mu Feng didn't know what the upper limit was, but it wasn't until he was truly sanctified that he finally knew that it was originally nine, and the flood wilderness could accommodate up to nine saints. Nine is the extreme, and if there are more, this world will collapse.
The New Heavenly Dao controls two-thirds of the rules, and theoretically can have six directly subordinate saints, while Hongjun can only have three.
For the saints under their command, they can completely control them, and even deprive them of their holy positions at the slightest thought. But for the saints under the command of others, this cannot be done.
The reason why the New Heavenly Dao was able to deprive it of the Holy Positions of Zhun Ti and Receiving was because Mu Feng had completed the task of unifying the underworld, helping it control one-third of the Heavenly Dao and obtaining the places of three directly subordinate saints, including the Holy Positions of Zhun Ti and Introduction.
Later, the deprivation of the Holy Position of Yuan Shi Tianzun was the same, just after Mu Feng completed the task of unifying the Heavenly Realm.
It's a pity that at that time, Hongjun was already in the Dao and was not among the saints, keeping the three directly subordinate saints of Laozi, Nuwa and Tongtian.
There are six saints in the New Heavenly Dao, but there are only two directly subordinate saints at the moment, one is Mu Feng and the other is Houtu.
It's not that it's unwilling to train more direct saints to increase its competitiveness, it's really because there are no suitable candidates.
It is true that the Holy Mother of Wudang, Kong Xuan and others are all quasi-saints who beheaded two corpses, and they can become saints one step further, but they have a very important condition - huge merit. How can merit be sanctified without a huge amount of merit? If everyone had the same great merit as Hou Tu, it wouldn't mind filling up the six direct saints at once!
Above the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, Hongjun was attacking frantically, but let alone Mu Feng, he couldn't do anything about Tongtian nowβTongtian was also included in the rule shield by Mu Feng.
It's just that Tongtian's face is not good, and he said worriedly: "How long can you maintain this shield?" If we don't break the situation as soon as possible, I'm afraid we will still be killed. β
Mu Feng looked at him and asked with a smile: "Master, if you and I lay down the Zhuxian Sword Formation together, it may be possible to block Hongjun and Lao Tzu?" β
Tongtian smiled bitterly and said, "Although the Zhuxian Sword Formation is powerful, the mana of the Three Corpse Slashing Saints far surpasses us. If I were a saint, maybe there would be that possibility......"
Before his words fell, Mu Feng said confidently: "Then I will make you a saint again!" β
"What did you say?" Tongtian looked at him in surprise, wondering if he had heard him wrong.
Mu Feng said with a smile: "Shizun may not know yet, in fact, I still have a Hongmeng purple qi on my body, I originally wanted to leave it to the queen of heaven, but now, it is more appropriate to give it to Shizun." β
As he spoke, Mu Feng had already summoned that Hongmeng purple qi and instantly injected it into Tongtian's body.
Tongtian was stunned there, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, and he was moved, "Okay, well, accepting you as a disciple back then was the wisest decision in my life!" β
At this time, he didn't dare to be hypocritical, and after speaking, he immediately began to absorb the Hongmeng purple qi. The next moment, auspicious clouds emerged, the sky fell, and a terrifying coercion spread to the Three Realms.
Hongjun's face changed greatly, and he wanted to slap himself twice, what he was most worried about finally happened. He thought he could kill Tongtian before he was re-sanctified, but he didn't want to fail!
He looked at Mu Feng angrily, his eyes were full of cold killing intent, it was all because of this person, otherwise things would never have become so tricky!
Without waiting for him to think about it, Tongtian's mana had been fully restored.
Tongtian glanced at Our Lady of Jin Ling, Zhao Gongming and others who were crying with joy in the distance, and smiled faintly. Immediately, he suddenly shouted softly: "Zhuxian Sword Formation, get up!" β
As his words fell, the Zhu Immortal Sword, the Killing Immortal Sword, and the Absolute Immortal Sword flew out of the bodies of the Holy Mother of Wudang, the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit, and Zhao Gongming respectively. At the same time, the Immortal Formation that had already been placed under the Heavenly Court bloomed with a thousand rays of light.
Mu Feng knew his intentions, and took out the Trapping Immortal Sword without thinking about it.
The next moment, the terrifying murderous aura spread, and the Zhuxian Sword Array appeared, including Hongjun, Laozi, and Nuwa.
"Zhuxian Sword Array!"
Nuwa's face changed drastically. At this time, she couldn't help but regret a little, why didn't she hide a little farther? The physical body is already on the verge of collapse, how can it resist the great array set up by the saint himself?
Lao Tzu was also a little afraid, and subconsciously looked at Hongjun.
The Zhuxian Sword Array is known as the unbreakable of the four saints, and now that they are full of calculations, there are only three saints, how can they not worry in their hearts? Lao Tzu's only hope now is Hongjun, hoping that this teacher can come to an outbreak and break this formation.
However, Hongjun's face was also solemn.
If only Tongtian was the one who presided over the big array, even if he singled out the Immortal Sword Formation, he would be sure to break it. However, there are now two saints presiding over the great array. Especially Mu Feng, faintly made him feel a little jealous.
There is no way, Mu Feng has too many hole cards, and he can still mobilize the power of the rules, so he can't be cautious. You must know that when he used the rules to protect his body, the injuries on Mu Feng's body were also healed by the way, which is equivalent to having an immortal body again!
Hongjun didn't know how long the power of those rules could last, and if it could be maintained, it would be almost impossible to kill him!
Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular. He already felt very tricky, but at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded outside the big array: "It seems that it is not too late." Hongjun, it's time to settle the cause and effect between you and me! β
After that, he directly entered the big array.
Our Lady of Wudang, Our Lady of Jin Ling, and Zhao Gongming also spoke: "Master, disciple is here to help you!" β
Although the three of them are quasi-saints, they are holding the four swords of the Zhuxian to guard the four gates of the great array, and they can get the blessing of the great array, which is enough to compete with the saints for a while.
"Hahaha, okay, there is a lot of help for the righteous, and little help for the unjust, this is the general trend of heaven!"
Tongtian laughed loudly, and with a movement of his mind, the Zhuxian Sword, the Killing Immortal Sword, and the Absolute Immortal Sword flew back into the hands of the Holy Mother of Wudang. The three of them each guard a door, and the momentum is great.
