Readers who have read the list of gods know that in the book there is a mysterious immortal, he comes from the Purple Heaven Palace of the Outer Heavens, is the master of the innate saint, and his name is Hongjun Laozu. At the time of the Ten Thousand Immortals Array, the Master of the Tongtian Sect was defeated by Yuan Shi Tianzun, and he wanted to recreate Qiankun, but was later stopped by Hongjun Laozu. However, after carefully reading this book, we will find that Hongjun Laozu only appears once in the book, so many readers have been thinking about the true identity of Hongjun Laozu.
Judging from the contents of the book, we will know that Hongjun Old Ancestor was cultivating in the Purple Heaven Palace outside the heavens, and he had three disciples who had beheaded three corpses to become holy, each of whom was a congenital saint. After carefully reading this book, we will find that the content of this book is a god war between the disciples of Hongjun Old Ancestor, and his disciples are Taishang Laojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun and Tongtian Sect Lord.
In the ninety-fourth time, the book said, "Pangu sheng tai chi, one gas into Hongjun." From this point of view, we will find that there is a certain connection between Hongjun Laozu and Pangu. In ancient times, when the heavens and the earth had not yet appeared, the universe was still a lump of vitality, and people called it the chaotic universe. Later, Pangu took up the magic weapon in his hand, opened up Hongmeng, and created the heavens and the earth. Judging from the content of the book, Hongjun Laozu should be the embodiment of heaven and earth, and it can be said that Hongjun Laozu was the first immortal who appeared after Pangu opened the heavens and the earth.
At the time of the Immortal Array, Yuan Shi Tianzun once said, "Hongjun Laozu is the embodiment of heaven and earth, and swearing to heaven is swearing to Hongjun Laozu." Later, the Master of the Tongtian Sect went to the Zixiao Palace and met Hongjun Laozu, who said in the book, "Hongjun Laozu is the embodiment of heaven and earth, and he knows the things between heaven and earth very well." "In this way, the true identity of Hongjun Laozu in the book should be the embodiment of heaven and earth."
In addition to the list of gods, some Honghuangliu novels also mention the Hongjun Laozu as a god, and the Hongjun Laozu who appears in these books is not the embodiment of heaven and earth, but the teacher of the innate saint. According to legend, the first being that appeared between heaven and earth was called the Founding Yuanling, who was the beginning of everything, and there is a saying that the true identity of the Founding Yuanling is the Pangu who opened up the world.
The founding Yuan Ling had four apprentices, namely Hongjun Laozu, Kunpeng Zushi, Nuwa Niangniang, and Lu Pressure Daoist. According to legend, Hongjun Laozu cultivated the Nine Heavens Xuan Qi, that is, he used the Yuan God of Heaven and Earth to cultivate the flesh, and eventually became sanctified in the flesh, becoming a congenital saint who beheaded three corpses to become holy. At the time of the first raid of the Long Han Dynasty, Hongjun Laozu took in three apprentices, namely Pangu, Lady Niangniang, and Eastern Emperor Taiyi. Later, Pangu opened up the world, and the lady gave birth to all things in the world, and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi became the founder of the Heavenly Garden, that is, the earliest lord of the Three Realms, which is the introduction of Hongjun Laozu in the novel of Honghuangliu.
Hongjun Laozu's strength in the list of gods was a ceiling, but in the Honghuangliu novel, there were countless immortals who were more powerful than him, such as the founding Yuan Ling. At the edge of the chaotic universe, there is a hollow willow tree, which absorbs tens of billions of years of Hongmeng True Qi, and eventually transforms into a god, named Liu Shen, and some books also call this god Yang Mei Daxian.
According to legend, when Yang Mei Daxian cultivated to become an innate sage, the predecessor of Hongjun Laozu was still a lump of Yuan Qi, and even the Yuan God did not have it. Since Yang Mei Daxian was a hollow immortal, his body formed an infinitely large cave that could absorb all things in heaven and earth. It is said that yang mei daxian's cave ruins can not only suck away all kinds of magic weapons, but also absorb the cultivation of immortals, a bit like the star-sucking Dafa in martial arts novels.
At the time of the Dragon Han's first devastation, Hongjun Old Ancestor did not believe that Yang Mei Daxian was so powerful, so he went to the edge of the chaotic universe to find Liu Shen to compete. When Hongjun Laozu came to Liu Shen's side, he actually lost all his mana and became a mortal, at this time, Hongjun Laozu was afraid and directly conceded defeat. Seeing that Hongjun Laozu had conceded defeat, Yang Mei Daxian returned Hongjun Laozu's cultivation to him.
After this battle, Hongjun Old Ancestor did not dare to show his face for tens of billions of years, and had been hiding in the Zixiao Palace to cultivate, hoping to one day defeat Yang Mei Immortal. When the Master of the Tongtian Sect wanted to recreate Qiankun, Hongjun Laozu dared to show his face, and it was said that Hongjun Laozu still used a double body to appear. From this point of view, we can know that the Liu Shen who cultivated at the edge of the chaotic universe was definitely above the Hongjun Old Ancestor, but this one immortal also had limitations, he could not leave the edge of the chaotic universe, and it was estimated that he would not be so powerful.
