Chapter 1534

The other is to directly imprint the rules between heaven and earth, to be executed by the Heavenly Dao.

The first type is fine; as long as people are executing it, there will always be loopholes to drill through.

The second type is troublesome.

The Heavenly Dao is ruthless.

The Heavenly Dao is strict.

Even a Saint has to grope in the dark when facing such rules.

Zhang Taixuan looked toward Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng: "You committed mistakes before the Heavenly Rule was established, so punishing you feels a bit like executing without teaching. Let's do this, Tang Xuanzang, I allow you to guide them to re-cultivate and return to the right path after they have redeemed their sins in reincarnation."

Tang Xuanzang: "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng looked at each other and also bowed very obediently: "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."

After speaking, their figures moved, turned into streams of light, and went straight into reincarnation.

Zhang Taixuan looked toward the other gods, his gaze falling on those spirit-monsters who had become immortals and had experience eating people.

"You have made contributions in subduing demons; your achievements and merits will be recorded for now, so go to reincarnation." Zhang Taixuan waved his hand, and a mysterious light fell upon everyone, "This spiritual light can help your true spirits remain clear and return when the calamity is over. After reincarnation, if you want to be a god, you can be conferred as a god based on your achievements; if you want to obtain freedom, you can also take back your true spirit imprint from the Investiture of the Gods."

"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."

Everyone was overjoyed.

Reincarnation was originally a very frightening thing.

After all, if one does not become a Golden Immortal, one cannot keep one's true spirit clear.

If one reincarnates too many times, they are no longer themselves.

Now, with the Heavenly Venerable making a move, there is naturally no problem at all.

More importantly, the thing they had thought about for billions of years was finally going to be realized—freedom!

This matter really made them happy.

Although the merits of subduing demons were not rewarded for now, freedom was solid.

"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable, we shall go to reincarnation."

Everyone bowed and turned into spiritual light, rushing toward the reincarnation of hell.

They couldn't wait for even a moment.

The other immortals of the Sect of Interception in the Heavenly Court were envious instead.

They didn't expect these fellow disciples to get the Heavenly Venerable's promise earlier because of their sins.

This was simply a great joy.

Everyone couldn't help but look toward Zhang Taixuan.

Zhang Taixuan naturally knew their intentions and smiled: "You don't need to be anxious either."

With a wave of his hand, suddenly, everyone felt a huge change in their divine bodies.

"It's a physical body, we have physical bodies!"

"Me too!"

"The Heavenly Venerable is too amazing; with a wave of his hand, he let so many of us have physical bodies. And, I feel that this physical body has huge potential, even stronger than before we died. If we cultivate with it, we will definitely reach a higher realm."

"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."

Everyone hurriedly bowed.

Their admiration for Zhang Taixuan's magical powers was even more profound.

It was too terrifying.

This way of revolving creation is probably enough to directly reproduce the scene of Nüwa creating humans.

With a wave of his hand, he created the physical bodies of so many gods.

This is simply unimaginable.

"Rise. Your tasks are not finished yet; if you want to be free practitioners, go find others to replace you as immortals and gods, and I will naturally remove your true spirit imprints; if you want to continue to be immortals and gods, you can continue to hold your luck and merits. In fact, with the previous merits of subduing demons, you can even go a step further."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions were different.

After having physical bodies, everyone's feelings about luck, incense, and merits were very different.

Before, without physical bodies, they always felt that incense, luck, and merits were of no great use; even if they cultivated for billions of years, they couldn't improve their realm.

With physical bodies, this feeling was very different.

With the blessing of merits, luck, and incense, their cultivation speed was much faster than before they became immortals and gods.

For those with physical bodies, the benefits of the fruit position of an immortal or god are simply too great.

At this moment, they finally understood why the cultivators who followed the Heavenly Venerable went to Lingshan to be Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

Nothing else, the benefits are huge.

"Heavenly Venerable, can we really continue to be gods?" Someone asked carefully.

Zhang Taixuan smiled: "Why not? Although you haven't said you love the people like your own children over these billions of years, you have performed your duties faithfully and have made great contributions. Continuing to be gods is naturally the right thing to do."

"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable, we are willing to continue to be gods, govern the authority in our hands, and assist the Heavenly Venerable in governing the Three Realms."

Zhang Taixuan nodded: "Very well."

In the end, only a very small number of gods were willing to give up their divine fruit positions and luck to go down to the lower world to be free practitioners.

"Zhao Gongming, I decree you as the Heavenly Emperor of this world; are you willing?"

"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable, Zhao Gongming is willing."

"Yunxiao, I decree you as the Great Emperor of the North Pole of the Middle Heaven and the Purple Subtlety of this world; are you willing?"

"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable. I am willing."

"Biyou, I decree you as the Great Emperor of the Gouchen Upper Palace, to subdue the demons of the Three Realms and educate the demon-immortals of the Three Realms; all those with noble character and perfect cultivation can ascend to become immortals. Are you willing?"

Biyou was stunned.

She never expected that she would have a share in this.

She is only a Golden Immortal.

Sitting in such a high position, can she really sit steadily?

"Brother Dao Lord, can I really do it well?"

Zhang Taixuan smiled: "Don't forget, you have us behind you."

Biyou heard this, and a bright smile appeared on her face: "Since that is the case, then Biyou thanks Brother Dao Lord for the decree."

As the words fell, she sensed a burst of luck falling upon her, and in an instant, her cultivation speed increased countless times.

Zhang Taixuan decreed in turn, conferring the positions of the Six Royals to the Three Clouds, Zhao Gongming, Biyou, and the Great Emperor Donghua.

"As for the remaining divine positions, those who should be promoted shall be promoted, and those who are lacking shall be selected from the ascenders. I will leave this matter to you Six Royals."

Zhao Gongming led the five people and hurriedly bowed: "Obey the Heavenly Venerable's decree."

Just as he was speaking, a figure came sneaking over.

"Brother Taixuan, I found something good!"

Zhang Taixuan smiled: "It's the Flat Peach Tree, right?"

Su Xiao beamed: "I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Taixuan."

With a thought, a shrunken version of a peach tree appeared in her hand.

"Flat peaches that ripen every nine thousand years, hehe, it's just a pity that there are a few, not enough for us to divide." Su Xiao was a bit regretful.

Zhang Taixuan smiled: "What is difficult about this?"

He took the Flat Peach Tree, shook it casually, and the flat peach in his hand instantly turned into thousands, landing in front of everyone.

"This time the work is perfect; apart from the merit and luck rewarded by the Heavenly Dao, these ten flat peach trees are a reward."
