Chapter 981: Sacrificing to Heaven and Earth, mysterious methods!

While Seeing Ying Zheng was carefully feeling the difference in himself and the mystery of the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword.

Su Xuan, who had quietly disappeared earlier and created many strange phenomena, appeared once again.

Just like when he left, Su Xuan's return did not cause any stir.

Only a few people who were bored and had kept their attention on him noticed his return.

That's right, this refers to Han Fei again.

Only Han Fei was bored enough not to focus on the scene of the Immortal Realm appearing earlier, not to observe the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, but to keep his attention on Su Xuan.

However, although Han Fei had guessed some things, he would not be foolish enough to point them out; he only praised Su Xuan's brilliant methods in his heart.

Su Xuan noticed Han Fei's gaze but did not take it to heart.

At this moment, his attention was entirely on Seeing Ying Zheng.

Seeing Ying Zheng had lifted the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, which was not beyond his expectations and also verified some of his conjectures.

"Is this a 'Fengzheng' (conferment/recognition)?"

What happened to Seeing Ying Zheng inevitably reminded him of the legendary story of demons seeking 'Fengzheng'. Only after obtaining 'Fengzheng' could they be considered authentic demons; without it, no matter how strong their cultivation was, they were not considered proper demons.

Therefore, for monsters and strange beings, obtaining 'Fengzheng' was an extremely important matter.

Seeing Ying Zheng's sacrifice to Heaven, was it not a different kind of 'Fengzheng'?

However, this did not confer the status of a demon, but the status of a Human Emperor.

Through the sacrifice to Heaven, he proclaimed that he received the mandate from Heaven, obtained the recognition of Heaven and Earth, and thus became a Human Emperor recognized by Heaven and Earth.

In ancient times, this was performed by the gods; mortal emperors obtained the recognition of the gods, which was the divine right of kings.

Although the elixir of immortality in this world was not a real elixir of immortality, it was to maintain the activity of human cells with the help of the power of the star, making people live forever. As long as the star was destroyed, the human body would age and die in an instant.

But the existence of the Nine Provinces Barrier was like a god in another sense.

The only difference was that its existence was to protect the people of the world, and it would not interfere in human affairs like the gods.

If a mortal emperor could obtain the recognition of the Nine Provinces Barrier, he could also obtain the status.

"However, even if one can receive the mandate from Heaven and obtain the status of Human Emperor through the Fengshan sacrifice, not everyone can perform this event!"

Su Xuan whispered to himself.

If just anyone could perform the Fengshan sacrifice and obtain the status of Human Emperor, then obtaining this status would be too easy.

The Nine Provinces Barrier protects the common people of the world; likewise, it records everything in this world, and it is well aware of the flow of destiny (Qi).

Want to perform the Fengshan sacrifice? One must have the qualifications.

The so-called qualification is destiny (Qi)!

If one's destiny is insufficient, perhaps they might really encounter the divine punishment mentioned by those Confucian scholars.

Without a doubt, for Seeing Ying Zheng, who unified the world, conquered Baiyue in the south, annihilated the Xiongnu in the north, and expanded the territory, there was no such thing as insufficient destiny.

Therefore, Seeing Ying Zheng's Fengshan sacrifice was destined to be a success.

Since his primordial spirit reached perfection on Penglai Immortal Mountain and he stepped into the Mysterious Penetration Realm, this world truly had no mysteries for Su Xuan; the truth of Heaven and Earth was so clear in his eyes.

It was also because he had completely understood the truth of Heaven and Earth that he wanted to do some things even more.

It seemed that persuading Seeing Ying Zheng to perform the Fengshan sacrifice was to allow him to lift the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, but in reality, this matter had another significance for Su Xuan.

"Sacrificing to Heaven on Mount Taishan obtains the recognition of the blue sky; after sacrificing to Earth on Liang Fushan later and obtaining the recognition of the Earth, the status of Human Emperor will be almost condensed. I hope you can become my signpost..."

Su Xuan said in his heart.

Afterward, he buried many thoughts deep in his heart.

After the sacrifice to Heaven on Mount Taishan was completed, Seeing Ying Zheng took everyone away from Mount Taishan.

After resting for a night in the palace at the foot of Mount Taishan, the next day, everyone set off again for Liang Fushan.

Fengshan!

'Feng' is the sacrifice to Heaven, 'Shan' is the sacrifice to Earth.

It is said that the Fengshan sacrifice is performed on Mount Taishan, but in reality, what is performed on Mount Taishan is only half of the Fengshan sacrifice, completing only the process of sacrificing to Heaven. It was not until Liang Fushan that Seeing Ying Zheng completed the sacrifice to Earth.

Only then could this Fengshan sacrifice be considered completely finished.

Since he wanted to create strange phenomena, he naturally had to carry it through to the end.

When Seeing Ying Zheng sacrificed to Heaven, strange phenomena appeared, and the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan descended to the mortal world riding a dragon to bestow the Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword upon Seeing Ying Zheng. There was no reason for no strange phenomena to appear when sacrificing to Earth.

And so, the people watching Seeing Ying Zheng sacrifice to Earth saw golden lotuses spring from the ground, many clear springs gushing from the earth, and a humming sound coming from the earth, as if the earth had come alive and was responding to the First Emperor's sacrifice.

After the many strange phenomena ended, everyone was shocked to find that near the altar where Seeing Ying Zheng sacrificed to Earth, rare flowers and grasses grew, and many precious medicinal herbs like lingzhi covered the earth.

Seeing Ying Zheng ordered people to pick these precious medicinal herbs and show them to everyone. Everyone discovered that these precious medicinal herbs, rare flowers, and grasses were indeed real.

If these things had been growing next to the altar earlier, it would not have caused surprise, but they grew in an instant, which made everyone even more shocked.

Even Han Fei was very surprised.

After the sacrifice to Earth was finished and the Fengshan ceremony was completely completed, he quietly came to Su Xuan's side.

"How did you do it?"

"What does Brother Han Fei want to say?" Su Xuan looked at Han Fei with feigned confusion, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about.

"Stop pretending." Han Fei was very direct. "The strange phenomena earlier were your handiwork, right? How did you do such a thing?"

If the strange phenomena during the sacrifice to Heaven on Mount Taishan could be understood as illusion, then these medicinal herbs were real. Han Fei was very curious about how Su Xuan did this.

Su Xuan was not surprised to hear Han Fei's direct words; it was not strange that Han Fei could see that these things were his handiwork.

After pondering for a while, he told Han Fei the answer: "It's just that I scattered the seeds of many medicinal herbs on the ground beforehand. When His Majesty sacrificed to Earth, I used some methods to accelerate their growth, letting them grow rapidly."

Although he said it simply, these words made Han Fei sigh in his heart.

It sounded simple, but some medicinal herbs that would take decades or even a hundred years to grow grew in an instant before Su Xuan.

Was this not a divine method?

'Su Xuan, oh Su Xuan, what realm have you reached?'

Han Fei pondered this question in his heart again. ===== CHAPTER 983 =====
