Chapter 1918
Mountain God 22
Dan Qing's strength has improved by leaps and bounds. He is no longer the little mountain god he used to be. He is now the Great Emperor of Zhongtian Ziwei.
Now, even the ghosts and gods in the underworld have to bow to him when they see him.
Unfortunately, he is now all alone.
Dan Qing sighed, "Where are the talented people?!"
Liu Tong gave him a suggestion: "You can choose from the Xuanmen. There's no need to hide the fact that the Heavenly Court was destroyed; you can tell the various Xuanmen. With the evil god as a sword hanging over your head, the people in the Xuanmen will only be more eager than you to rebuild the Heavenly Court and increase their combat power."
Shan Qing gave Liu Tong a thumbs up.
Using the divine position of the Ziwei Emperor, Shan Qing sent a message to the next generation of Xuanmen.
The Ziwei Emperor is one of the Six Emperors of Taoism, and he also oversees the succession of emperors in the mortal realm. He is quite famous in the mortal world and has his own temple.
Even the royal family worshipped the Ziwei Emperor.
On this day, all the temples of the Ziwei Emperor received divine decrees from the Emperor.
The people of the Xuanmen sect were overjoyed.
After hundreds of years, they finally received news from the previous session.
All the high-ranking members of the Xuanmen sect gathered together to watch the message sent from the previous generation.
Upon seeing this, everyone was terrified.
The Heavenly Court has been destroyed!
Beyond this world, there are other worlds, and evil gods.
If another evil god were to appear, and no one were to resist, the world would be destroyed by that evil god!
What should we do? What should we do?
The group of old men couldn't sit still any longer and paced around the main hall.
The leader of the Celestial Masters Sect was the most composed, and he spoke up to remind everyone: "Isn't there still the Ziwei Emperor here?"
Everyone then returned to their seats.
They will definitely give their full support to the Ziwei Emperor's plan to rebuild the Heavenly Court.
The young disciples under my tutelage must be trained as soon as possible.
The Purple Star Emperor is truly a great person, no, a great immortal, who actually gave them cultivation techniques.
This technique is even better than the most secret techniques held by each of their sects. After practicing it, they might be able to become immortals.
What are we waiting for? Let's switch to a different cultivation method right away!
Thus began the grand and vigorous efforts of the Xuanmen sect in the human realm to cultivate.
The demons and monsters, unaware of what had happened, dared not show themselves.
These people from the Xuanmen sect were acting like they'd been injected with adrenaline, and their individual strength had increased considerably; they dared not provoke them.
Let's hide first.
It's not too late to show your face after this storm has passed.
After the divine decree was issued, Shan Qing and Liu Zongda left the Heavenly Court.
The Heavenly Court is so empty, it's so boring to stay there.
The three of them left through the teleportation array.
The passage between Heaven and the mortal realm has not yet been opened.
This passage requires the combined efforts of nine high-ranking deities deep within to open.
Because it was originally closed by the Six Emperors and nine other immortals, including Laozi and Yang Jian.
Upon returning to the mortal realm, the three first went to the capital to visit Huangfu You.
A day in heaven is a year on earth. They spent ten days in heaven, while ten years had passed on earth.
Huangfu You has left the Hanlin Academy and entered the Ministry of Revenue.
When he was in Daqingshan, he saw Shan Qing teaching Mao Lianlian how to do accounts and also learned some modern accounting methods.
Huangfu You promoted this method within the Ministry of Revenue and received the emperor's commendation.
The current emperor is the former crown prince from ten years ago. He is in his prime and at the time to make a difference, and he greatly admires young and talented ministers like Huangfu You.
Therefore, Huangfu You was promoted very quickly.
He is now a third-rank official, serving as the Vice Minister of Revenue. He hasn't neglected his cultivation either, and his strength has improved considerably.
Dan Qing was very satisfied and intended to let Qi succeed Tianpeng Zhenjun as a deity.
Don't look down on Tianpeng Zhenjun just because your second senior brother was once Marshal Tianpeng.
Well, Marshal Tianpeng and True Lord Tianpeng both hold the same divine position, being the head of the Four Saints of the North Pole.
Volume 172 of the Dao Fa Hui Yuan states: "The nine stars of the Big Dipper, in response to the transformation of their essence, become the nine gods. The nine gods are Tian Peng, Tian Ren, Tian Heng, Tian Fu, Tian Ying, Tian Tian, Tian Zhu, Tian Xin, and Tian Qin. They are said to follow the earthly branches, govern Yin and Yang, harmonize with Heaven and Earth, preside over creation, ride the Three Brightnesses to respond to the four seasons, follow the lunar calendar to determine the eight solar terms, and advance and retreat through the Nine Palaces."
That is, Tianpeng is the chief minister of the nine stars of the Big Dipper, in charge of the four seasons, eight solar terms, and the governance of yin and yang.
Tianpeng holds a high position in Taoism, being the foremost protector of Taoism.
The second senior brother...
It can only be said that the Journey to the West was both a catastrophe and an opportunity for the world.
Therefore, all parties wanted to get involved.
As a third-generation disciple of the Humanist Cult, the second senior brother naturally sought to gain benefits for the cult.
You're saying he's not very strong?
Heh, as the naval marshal of the Heavenly Court, how could his strength be lacking?
Did you think that the Monkey King could get scratched by a few attendants from Heaven and one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions?
How could Marshal Tianpeng be weak?
The second senior brother was merely coasting along in the pilgrimage team.
With a fool like Monkey King, who was fooled by both the Heavenly Court and the West, he could hide aside and slack off.
We've digressed; let's get back to the topic.
Shan Qing implanted the seal of Marshal Tianpeng into Huangfu You's body.
This seal can help Huangfu You better absorb the power of the North Star, increasing his cultivation speed by at least three times.
But this doesn't mean that Huangfu You is already the Heavenly Lord; he can only be considered a reserve for the Heavenly Lord.
Tianpeng's seal of office has not yet fully recognized him.
He needs to cultivate himself into an immortal and refine the seal before he can become the Heavenly Marshal.
Upon hearing that Shan Qing and Liu Dong had arrived in the capital, Shisi Niang immediately came to pay her respects.
Over the past ten years, she has diligently cultivated and acquired proper cultivation techniques. Combined with the accumulation of the previous hundreds of years, she has once again transcended tribulation, transforming from a half-immortal into a true demon immortal.
Dan Qing then gave the seal of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to Fourteenth Sister.
Similarly, Shisi Niang could not immediately become the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden; she needed the seal of approval before she could assume the divine duties of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
After that, they stayed in the capital for a while before leaving.
The three returned to Daqingshan, but the route they took was different from the route they had taken to the capital.
This road passes through An County.
Liu Tong thought of the Wen family of Huaihe River and decided to go and take a look.
Upon arriving in An County, they did not meet Wen Tinghuai.
Wen Tinghuai also passed the imperial examination and was appointed as a county magistrate in another region.
Ten years later, he was promoted to prefect, but he was still stationed in another place and did not return home for many years.
Liu Tong visited the Liu family as a friend of Wen Tinghuai and met Master Wen, his maternal grandfather in this life.
The old man is getting old and his health is not good.
Liu Tong secretly gave the old man some health-boosting medicine, ensuring he would live to be a hundred years old.
When he left the Wen residence, his karmic ties with the Wen family were severed.
The three returned to Daqingshan and found that the area at the foot of Daqingshan had developed into a bustling town.
Mao Lianlian opened a teahouse in town and hired a storyteller to tell them the stories Shan Qing had told them.
The story was so captivating that the teahouse did very well.
Looking at Mao Lianlian's cultivation level, it had also improved significantly. (End of Chapter)
