Chapter 57 The So-called Immortal
Chapter 57 The so-called immortal
Ye Wen never thought that a dignified general in the Heavenly Court would have family problems?
But after thinking about it, it seems normal. Most people in this heaven are monks and have been busy practicing all their lives. Even if they don’t practice, they are busy dealing with work affairs all day long. They don’t understand the affairs of men and women at all. It seems reasonable that family disputes will occur?
After looking at Shen Gongbao, Ye Wen didn't know how to talk to him, so he could only say: "If you have the chance, talk to Mrs. Zun..." Even though it was a bit overwhelming, after all, there was a saying that it was difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs, and he was not likely to participate in many outsiders.
At this time, the two had already turned to the foot of the mountain and circled along the Shu Mountain. Soon after, they circled from the front to the back. The huge lake appeared in front of the two. Shen Gongbao looked at the clear water of the lake and smiled and said to Ye Wen: "The mountain of the Guizhai is really a blessing in the world. This water not only has a little coolness, but also contains the vitality of heaven and earth. It is also beneficial to everyone when using such water all day long.
Ye Wen smiled and didn't say anything. He naturally knew what the water was like. He could still retain so much vitality after flowing from the top of the mountain to the foot of the mountain. Among them, the contribution of the Jiuzhou Ding cannot be ignored. However, this is the biggest secret of the Shushan Sect and it must not be known to everyone. He could only say with a smile: "This sect was established on this mountain. When the ancestors of this sect chose this place to start a sect, they actually didn't think so much. They just felt that the environment was quiet and it was relatively close!"
Shen Gongbao soaked in the lake with his hands and felt the coolness in the lake and the spiritual energy in the water: "This is also an opportunity for the noble school. If it were not for the lucky ones, even if they stood on this mountain, they would not be able to see the goodness of this mountain. In the end, they missed such a blessing!"
As he spoke, he followed up again: "It made me quite curious about how far-sighted the ancestor of the noble school is... I think the person who can create the noble school must be a rare hero in the world!"
"What kind of character, just a down-and-out gangster!"
Ye Wen, who knew the truth, ended up just smiling. He didn't know how to answer this question. He couldn't tell him: "This sect is just something that a down-and-out guy made casually!" Moreover, Shushan was not exclusive to the Shushan sect, but he snatched it from many "neighbors" after becoming the head of Shushan sect.
"By the way, I don't know what Mount Olympus and the Buddha Realm look like?"
Ye Wen suddenly remembered that his Shushan Sect was likely to be enemies of the Olympus tribe or the Buddhist world, and the Heavenly Court also deliberately leaked some information to make himself prepare. Maybe he could inquire first?
There is no need to ask too much about the Buddha Realm in the West. The general situation is similar to the legendary Buddha Realm. The Buddha who is now in charge of the Buddha Realm in the West is the Buddha Tathagata. Although there are many Buddhas and Tathagata status, those who do not care about the matter and are almost gone on weekdays.
Therefore, the current Western Buddha Realm is dominated by the Tathagata Buddha. A large number of Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Venerables, etc. are the main components of the Western Buddha Realm. If there is a real conflict, this group of people will come out to deal with the situation. Until necessary, those Buddhas who have almost no trace will not come out.
Ye Wen doesn't need to worry too much about the situation of those people. What we need to consider at present is this large number of venerables, arhats and Bodhisattvas who are the main combat power of the Buddha world. It is said that the strongest combat power among them are the five Ming kings, the Peacock King and the Fighting and Battle Buddha, who are considered the main generals of the Buddha world.
The soldiers in the Buddha world are monks, and what is more troublesome in the Buddha world is that almost all ordinary people under their jurisdiction believe in Buddhism, and most of them can participate in wars as espous monks. Fortunately, these civilian monks with poor strength cannot have a severe impact on their occupation, just beware of these people's infiltrating the jurisdiction of the heavenly realm to promote their doctrines.
Compared to Buddhism, he didn't know much about Mount Olympus. He only knew that the god king of the Olympus clan was Zeus, while his two brothers were the sea emperor Poseidon and Hades, who were generally almost the same as the composition in Greek mythology. Many gods on Mount Olympus also had some familiar names.
For example, Apollo, the sun god, Artemis, the goddess of war and wisdom Athena, the god of war Ares, etc.
However, Ares has been removed from the position of God of War. In addition, God of War is the pioneer general of the Olympus tribe who launched a war against the outside world. Ye Wen also didn't know who would take the position of God of War if Mount Olympus attacked next time.
"Is it Athena?"
The reason why he paid attention to Mount Olympus was also related to this goddess. He was curious whether Mount Olympus in the fairy world had a group of warriors called Saint Seiya.
"Saint Seiya?" Shen Gongbao was covered in mist: "What is that?"
Just looking at this reaction, Ye Wen knew that Mount Olympus did not have a warrior like Saint Seiya. If there were, perhaps he would have gone to Mount Olympus to take a look because of curiosity.
"Nothing!" Since there is no such fighter, what is the army of the Olympus tribe composed of? Shen Gongbao gave a very clear answer to this question.
"Although the number of troops specially selected from the people under the jurisdiction led by a group of half-man and demigods is not particularly large, the strength is stronger than our heavenly soldiers, and they are not afraid of death and are extremely difficult to deal with."
"Some monsters found in the so-called underworld and sea world, as well as many strange half-human and half-monster guys - I don't know if they are demon cultivators! This is the army of Mount Olympus, which is very messy..."
Ye Wen was surprised by Shen Gongbao's understanding of Mount Olympus. As a general of the water division, he realized that Shen Gongbao, as the general of the water division, had once commanded the Heavenly Court Navy to fight the Olympus tribe from the sea. As a result, the battle was dark and the Shen Gongbao encountered the army led by the sea emperor Poseidon.
The soldiers were basically all kinds of monsters in the sea. These monsters themselves had extremely strong destructive power, and a large number of strange abilities caused huge losses to the Heavenly Court Navy. Fortunately, Shen Gongbao still had some tricks, and Wen Zhong led the gods of Lei to rescue him, so he barely defeated the Olympus navy.
However, in that battle, Mount Olympus only lost a lot of monsters that were just pets to them, but the Heavenly Court Navy was almost wiped out and has not yet recovered.
"Just because of that battle, I am no different from an idle person now!"
The general who has no soldiers in his hands is indeed not very good! Although Shen Gongbao also wanted to restore the Heavenly Court Navy, the Heavenly Court army was replenishing slowly and giving priority to those more important generals.
"How do we replenish the soldiers of the Heavenly Court?"
"The souls of the lower realm who are better than those in the lower realm, or those who died in battle, are reincarnated!" Shen Gongbao sighed helplessly: "There is almost no war in the lower realm under the notice of the Heavenly Court. The price of the people's living and working in peace is that it is difficult for the heavenly soldiers in the Heavenly Court to replenish them!" This situation is also very helpless. If you want to replenish the source of soldiers, then the easiest way is to put the entire Dongfang Xianzhou into war. The death of a large number of soldiers will naturally replenish the soldiers in the Heavenly Court.
However, the Jade Emperor did not agree with this method. Although the Heavenly Court would not directly interfere in the situation in the human world, all those who become priests are not the kind of person who ignores the lives of others. If a war really happens in the human world, these gods may immediately calm the war down.
What's more, many immortal sects also live in the human world. Once they intervene, they will not be able to fight any war unless these sects start fighting first.
Therefore, the source of troops in the Heavenly Court can only be absorbed by finding some outstanding people to absorb them into the Heavenly Court, or some monks feel that they have no hope of improving their cultivation, so they simply go to the Heavenly Court to find a job. Maybe they have a chance to be on the list of gods and be awarded the position of gods. In that way, they can still have an almost endless life span.
"So that's how it is!"
In fact, Ye Wen's opinion, this situation is not impossible to solve. One of the solutions is to increase some connections with each sect, or simply ask them to send their disciples to serve in the Heavenly Court Army in turn.
Or take the elite soldiers' route and try to improve the strength of each heavenly soldier. If any heavenly soldier can have one-to-ten strength, then even if there are not so many soldiers in the war, there will be no problem.
The last method is to expand the source of soldiers - Ye Wen thinks that the earth is a good choice, why doesn’t the heavenly world drive the source of soldiers to the other side of the earth? Since the gods can find them from the earth, the source of soldiers is the same!
"This... Actually, the Jade Emperor has also considered this issue. If he continues like this, the Heavenly Court will really take action!" Speaking of this, Shen Gongbao looked around and secretly said to Ye Wen: "In fact, not only the earth, but the Jade Emperor is also preparing to contact various immortal sects and ask them to contribute the world under their sect as the world of military source!"
Ye Wen was stunned and did not wake up for a moment what Shen Gongbao meant!
When Shen Gongbao saw Ye Wen's expression, he was not surprised. He continued to say his words as if he hadn't seen it: "In fact, there are also some monks from other places outside the earth in this fairy world! In addition, some large immortal sects even control the one in a certain world. If anyone can ascend from that world to the fairy world, he will immediately include him under his own disciple!"
Ye Wen's first reaction when he heard this was that the matter of Jiuzhou Ding was exposed, but after thinking about it carefully, he found that it was not the case. Shen Gongbao's words seemed to be telling him something similar to what he did, but in fact many sects were doing it.
Take one world into your own hands and observe the changes in this world. If an outstanding person leaves this world and comes to the fairy world, he can receive this person into the sect as soon as possible and improve his own strength. However, what is different from the Shushan sect is that the Jiuzhou World is a world evolved from the Jiuzhou Ding, and the entire world is under the control of Ye Wen. If necessary, Ye Wen can even use one idea to kill a person who he does not want to successfully break the void and die on the spot.
You can also rely on your own idea to make the entire Jiuzhou world revolve around a "protagonist" and directly cultivate a strong man.
The worlds of those sects are just a world that runs by themselves. They are only pure bystanders and are powerless to interfere with that world and the fate of that monk.
From this point of view, the Shushan Sect still has an advantage! However, this news still surprised Ye Wen. It turned out that all the sects in the fairy world had such a channel to absorb sects.
"Where is the earth? Under which faction is under the control of it?"
Shen Gongbao smiled and said, "The gods in the heavenly court basically come from the earth, and they pay attention to the earth naturally. Which faction is so bold to snatch things from the heavenly court?"
This sentence made Ye Wen understand why his Shushan Sect was valued by Yang Jian. It was absolutely indispensable for his Shushan Sect and the Gods of Heaven. The reason why he was a family member.
In addition, Ye Wen also thought that when the courtyards come from the earth today, wouldn’t other worlds come to this fairy world?
Shen Gongbao replied very simply: "Of course there is one. In fact, there was a battle to enthrone the gods back then, just to reunite the monks on earth, and finally came to the fairy world to decide the victory and defeat with the gods in other worlds. After the last battle, he won the dominance of this Eastern Immortal Continent!"
Unexpectedly, there was such an inside story in the Battle of the Gods. It turned out that the fundamental reason was an internal cleansing war launched to harmonize resources. Those who were disobeyed and those who did not accept discipline were directly killed. Those who were useful in the Battle of the Gods were controlled, or some useful talents but had too low cultivation, they also used the Battle of the Gods to take over the territory, and finally led a large number of people to the fairy world to grab the territory.
After the last battle, the gods of the Heavenly Court defeated other gods and occupied the Eastern Immortal Continent - probably this name was also later.
"So have the gods from other worlds left behind?"
"Of course there are too!" Shen Gongbao pointed to the west: "There are a few stores over there..."
Ye Wenran was silent. He thought of countless possibilities, but he didn't expect that there was such a connection, because he came from the earth, and there were legends of gods on the earth. From the beginning, he believed that these gods were also gods born and raised on the earth.
"Actually, several forces formed a group of people. Not only did the earth have their descendants, but they also had their inheritance in the world where they originally lived!"
"There are some of the doctrines and related myths you hear on Earth, which are also products that they have passed down after they have merged some local legends on Earth. They may be very different from what they originally circulated in their world, but they are more suitable for the situation on Earth!"
"Can you be a white man? Black people are not Earthlings?" It was difficult for Ye Wen not to turn his ideas into this direction, but Shen Gongbao told him clearly: "Those are Earthlings, there will be white black people, etc., which are also differences caused by the environment, living habits and long-term evolution. In fact, they are all humans!"
"As for the sect inheritance on the earth, it is because these gods chose the part of people closest to themselves to spread it, so it is so!"
Ye Wen felt a little dizzy. After hearing too much insider information today, he could not digest it for a while.
To put it simply, the Battle of the Gods was originally a very internal unity war between the monks on earth, and after the end, they formed the Heavenly Court power.
The forces of the Heavenly Court competed with several other forces, and the war even crossed several planes. The Earth was not spared from becoming a battlefield. Many forces also tried hard to promote their own doctrines to people on earth who were close to them. As a result, many legendary sects were spread on the earth - some of them left people to promote their own sects on the earth. Ye Wen guessed that the purpose was to destroy the Eastern Heavenly Court.
After finally getting a clue, Shen Gongbao threw out a bigger bomb: "In fact, the earth is just a world where we monks live. Before that, we also lived in other worlds!"
"What is the world you originally lived in?"
"No name..." Shen Gongbao shook his head: "That world is very vast, and the world is extremely vital, so all kinds of powerful lives can be brewed! But even so, he could not bear more and more cultivators, thus moving towards destruction. Then we arrived at the earth. After staying for a long time, the Jade Emperor found the current fairy world, but the trouble is that we need to compete with various forces for ownership of the fairy world first!"
It turns out that the earth is just a temporary place before the gods of the Heavenly Court seized the territory of the Immortal Realm. If you talk about it unpleasantly, it is the battlefield that these monks chose early in the morning. It is just that because their original hometown has been destroyed, the gods of the Heavenly Court have a good impression of the earth that they had stayed in - not to mention that many people have indeed passed down their own Taoist traditions on the earth and regarded it as their hometown.
Knowing the true origin of various gods and immortals, Ye Wen felt that his original cognition had been subverted, and even he found that many things he heard on the earth were wrong! For example, the gods left the earth, not because the spiritual energy of the earth was reduced, but because they were not prepared to stay for a long time at the beginning.
It is estimated that the so-called legend of ascension was also deliberately left by the Heavenly Court, which may be to ensure that the monks on Earth will become members of the Heavenly Court after going to the Immortal World and help them enhance their strength in the Immortal World.
After thinking it through, Ye Wen continued to talk to Shen Gongbao about the worlds that were mastered by various sects, and learned that the world that still exists today is not so simple. There are many sects in the Eastern Immortal Continent that were not formed by monks from Earth. These sects are all staring at the world they have lived in, just like the Heavenly Court is focusing on the earth.
"But over the past thousand years, fewer and fewer people can ascend to the fairy world, and no matter which world it is, it is the case!" Shen Gongbao sighed: "So these worlds are gradually less valued now! Fortunately, the cycle of life and death in these worlds is normal. Your Majesty is now considering connecting those cycles of life and death into the Heavenly Court Army, so that those soldiers who died in war in the world become heavenly soldiers."
