At the same time that Samantabhadra Zhenren arrived at the Sea Realm, above the 33rd Heaven.
Above the Daluotian, in the majestic Purple Cloud Palace, the Way of Heaven Hongjun slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of surprise flashed through the corners of his eyes.
It could be clearly seen that in front of the Way of Heaven Hongjun, there were still a few futons quietly placed. On those futons, there were still remnants of the aura of the many saints of the Mythological World.
Outside the Purple Cloud Palace, the two golden boys, Haotian and Yao Chi, had also been replaced by two other Taoist children.
"Tao Ancestor, the Way of Heaven Immortal has begun to act."
Suddenly, a shadow flickered and appeared. It was a very ordinary Taoist. His voice was not loud, but it was full of a terrifying aura.
"Mm!"
In the face of the Taoist's words, the middle-aged man who had been sitting on the futon in the middle of the palace slowly opened his eyes and nodded gently.
Perhaps no one would have imagined that in this Mythological World, there was such a top place like the Purple Cloud Palace, right?!
One had to know that the man sitting quietly in front of the Taoist was not an ordinary person, but the Way of Heaven Hongjun!
What was the Way of Heaven?!
It was the rules, laws, and operating principles of this Mythological World, and the Way of Heaven Hongjun controlled the operation and laws of the entire Mythological World. As long as he was willing, he could create a new Mythological World in an instant.
It could be said that the Way of Heaven Hongjun was similar to the existence of the Mythological World's ruler.
And the top experts of the Mythological World, such as the Three Pure Ones and the Goddess Nuwa, were just insignificant ants to the Way of Heaven Hongjun.
However, even though the Way of Heaven Hongjun was so powerful, he also had people that he was extremely afraid of. That was the Way of Heaven in the West, which was similar to him, and the Way of Heaven in the North and the West, which were the Creation Spirits of the North and the West.
The Creation Spirits were the supreme beings who created this world, and their strength was extremely terrifying.
Although the Heavenly Dao in the north and the west had yet to take action and was only in the incubation period, it was still a taboo for the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, a place that could not be reached.
That's right. Hongjun controlled the east of the entire mythical world. When he preached in the Purple Cloud Palace, the sect he created was called the Eastern Profound Sect!
Originally, the Eastern Heavenly Dao Hongjun and the Western Heavenly Dao did not interfere with each other. Before the Heavenly Dao Hongjun became the Heavenly Dao, he had interacted with Daoist Jie Yin and Daoist Zhunti from the West. He felt that the people of the West were very friendly.
However, what he did not expect was that along with the occurrence of various calamities, Daoist Zhunti and Daoist Jie Yin of the Western Sect relied on the support of the Great Burning King of the West to constantly harass the people of the Celestial Sect of Wonders. They even tried to seize the fate of the Celestial Sect of Wonders of the East.
Before the Great God-Conferment Tribulation began, he had received a lot of news about the Western Sect trying to rope in the disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
In order to fight against the Western Heavenly Dao and infiltrate the Western Sect, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun specially ordered Daoist Ci Hang, Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa, Ju Liusun, Duobao Taoist, and the others to deliberately join the Western Sect and become the spies of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun. From then on, the Western Sect would completely become a sect that the Heavenly Dao Hongjun could control.
Moreover, he also planned to use the Western Sect as a benchmark to completely open the Western market and control the Western Sect.
To put it simply, during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun completed the infiltration of the forces and gradually disintegrated the Great Burning King's forces.
However, what Hongjun did not expect was that with the beginning of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, the original plan was all destroyed by a sudden rise of Dragons. This guy called Long Sheng Ao Qing not only destroyed the God-Conferment Plan several times, but also made the righteous gods and side gods of the God-Conferment Tribulation his own. Not only did he not strengthen the power of the Heavenly Court, but he also strengthened the power of the Sea Realm.
In the beginning, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun did not make a move. After all, the rising Dragons were also considered an Eastern force. A proper internal conflict was beneficial to the rule of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
However, what the Heavenly Dao Hongjun did not expect was that the rising power of the Dragons would actually grow bigger and bigger. It even seemed to have the momentum and prestige of the Tōhoku Taichi and Di Jun when they ruled the entire Heavenly Court.
Therefore, in order to realize his ambition and not let the Dragons continue to cause destruction, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun ordered the Samantabhadra Spiritual Master to go to the Sea Realm and join the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect. From then on, he took control of the Heavenly Dragon Divine Sect step by step and completely kicked out the Long Sheng Ao Qing.
In fact, his original plan was to be implemented for the Western Sect. After letting Daoist Ci Hang, Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa and the others gain a foothold, he would plot to control the entire Western Sect.
In fact, in the battle of the later generations, if not for the appearance of Ao Qing, Daoist Ci Hang, Manjushri Heavenly Lord Guangfa, Duobao Taoist and the others successfully controlled the Western Sect under the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun and turned the Western Sect into Buddhism. From then on, they kicked out the founders of the Western Sect, Daoist Cundi and Daoist Jie Yin.
On the surface, the Western Sect seemed to be the sect of the Heavenly Dao of the West, but in fact, it was the sect of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun.
Otherwise, the Great Burning of the Heavenly Dao of the West would not have established other religious sects in India. Unfortunately, he lost the opportunity to establish a sect, and the sects established by the Great Burning of the West did not last long.
In fact, this was one of the biggest reasons why the country of India could not develop in the later generations. It was because the Heavenly Dao Hongjun secretly controlled Buddhism and used it to suppress India, turning it into a religious country. He bewitched the people. Even though the population was large, the productivity was extremely low.
Of course, this was also because India was later attacked by the Heavenly Dao of the North, which made it even more difficult to recover.
In short, for the Heavenly Dao Hongjun of the East, the Great Burning of the West, the Heavenly Dao of the North, and the Heavenly Dao of the West, the Mortal Realm was just a chessboard under their control. The so-called Chosen One was also a chess piece under their control.
However, what made the Heavenly Dao Hongjun a little depressed was that a chess piece suddenly did not play by the rules and ruined his plan.
"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, the sudden appearance of the Long Sheng Ao Qing did indeed catch someone off guard. However, it is also because of this that the whole mythical game becomes interesting, isn't it?"
The mysterious Taoist said with a smile, "And I heard that the Long Sheng Ao Qing has evolved into a Crape Myrtle True Dragon."
When the Crape Myrtle True Dragon was mentioned, the eyes of the Heavenly Dao Hongjun, which had been looking down, suddenly lit up with a trace of astonishment.
"A Crape Myrtle True Dragon?"
Perhaps only the Heavenly Dao Hongjun knew that the Crape Myrtle True Dragon was not simply born before Pangu created the world. More importantly, the Crape Myrtle True Dragon was a kind of super divine dragon that was not bound or controlled by the Heavenly Dao.
In other words, no matter how powerful Zu Long was, he was just a chess piece of the Heavenly Dao. However, the Crape Myrtle True Dragon was different. It could not be controlled by the Heavenly Dao, let alone become his chess piece.
More often than not, such a divine dragon was the true Chosen One, the True Dragon of Destiny!
For some reason, the Heavenly Dao Hongjun suddenly felt an unprecedented threat from the Crape Myrtle True Dragon!
"It seems that I was right to send Samantabhadra Immortal and the others."
