Chapter 569: The Emergence of the Deity System, Conferring Gods

Several months later.

The one thousand Great Thousand Worlds ruled by the Xuanhuang Sect began to undergo silent and imperceptible changes.

Tianxin World, Wulan City.

This is a high-level city in the Tianxin World, with a population exceeding ten billion.

The one who controls this city is a Refining Void Cultivator.

Named Dai Fangqi.

As an Inner Sect Disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect, his natural talent is passable, and being assigned to this city as the City Lord is considered a decent path; at the very least, it is a stable position, and he does not need to face too many dangers.

If he accumulates enough Contribution Points, he can continue to be promoted.

Compared to those Loose Cultivators outside who are fighting and killing, it is countless times better.

The salary of the City Lord alone is enough to satisfy his daily cultivation needs.

Who knows how many Xuanhuang Sect Disciples want to be sent out to become City Lords, yet they might not even be able to obtain such a good job.

Therefore, he is also very satisfied.

Boom~~

At this very moment, Dai Fangqi suddenly received a mysterious Official Seal sent from the main Xuanhuang Sect; it was entirely red, cube-shaped, the size of a fist, and engraved with dense and complex Immortal Talisman, unfathomable.

One look and he knew it was an extraordinary Dharma Treasure.

"What is this thing?"

Dai Fangqi felt very puzzled, looking the Official Seal up and down; he instinctively felt that this was a special Dharma Treasure, but he did not know what kind of function it actually had.

He immediately logged into the Dream World to ask Master Book Immortal.

After all, the Book Immortal is like Baidu from his past life, capable of answering all kinds of intelligence.

Moreover, as an Inner Sect Disciple of the Xuanhuang Sect and a Refining Void Cultivator, his authorization level is naturally very high.

Therefore, he can also obtain a great deal of relevant intelligence, so he won't be left in the dark.

"This is an Official Seal refined by the Sect Master."

"As long as you refine this Official Seal, you can control the Luck and power of a region."

"To thoroughly become the master of this land can be described as having infinite mysteries."

"This is a special Dharma Treasure refined by the Sect Master to strengthen the rule of the Xuanhuang Sect."

"Only Cultivators who become officials can obtain an Official Seal."

"If one leaves the post, then the Official Seal on one's person must be handed over to the next successor."

The Book Immortal replied.

"There is actually such a Dharma Treasure in the world? As expected of the Sect Master."

After hearing these words, Dai Fangqi felt very satisfied.

Although he still did not quite understand what the effect of this Official Seal was, generally speaking, since it was a Dharma Treasure refined by the Sect Master, it must have infinite wonderful uses, and it would not harm him.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate and immediately refined the Official Seal.

Rumble~~~

The next second, Dai Fangqi immediately discovered that he had merged into one with this Official Seal, and the infinite Luck between heaven and earth surged over, sinking into this Official Seal.

Then, with the help of the power of this Official Seal, his divine sense expanded infinitely, easily covering the entire Wulan City, and even the many subordinate cities under Wulan City's jurisdiction were under his control.

In the depths of his consciousness, the figures of countless Cultivators appeared.

It seemed that as long as his thought moved, he could control the countless living beings of this land.

It was as if he were the deity of this land.

"How could it be like this? My divine sense has actually expanded to this extent, and it can actually easily cover a radius of one million kilometers; it is truly too exaggerated. Is this the power of the Official Seal?"

"No, it is not just that the range of divine sense has expanded."

"It seems that the Luck and Heaven and Earth Origin Qi of this world are all under my control; as long as my thought moves, I can manipulate the infinite Heaven and Earth Origin Qi to unleash terrifying combat power."

"Even an Integration Stage Cultivator would find it impossible to fight me in Wulan City."

"The current me is simply a human-shaped Array Formation."

Dai Fangqi exclaimed in endless wonder.

Although he knew the power of this Dharma Treasure was inconceivable, he did not expect it to be this tyrannical; this had already exceeded the scope of his imagination, it was truly inconceivable.

After controlling this Official Seal, he is the deity of this place.

No one can hope to escape his perception and pursuit.

Even with a single thought, he can drive this Official Seal to travel to any place in the land under his jurisdiction.

This is already a capability equivalent to Instant Movement; it is too exaggerated.

"Master Book Immortal, does every City Lord have such an Official Seal?"

Dai Fangqi could not help but ask.

"That is correct; any region ruled by the Xuanhuang Sect will give birth to an Official Seal."

"Officials taking up their posts can also refine the Official Seal to become the master of this region."

"However, the might of the Official Seal is also related to the size of the city, the size of the region, and the number of people."

"Generally speaking, if the city is larger and the position is higher, then the might of the Official Seal will be even more terrifying."

"After mastering this Official Seal, even a mortal can possess immense power and become a deity of a region."

The Book Immortal replied.

"Good, this is truly too good."

"With this Official Seal, those rebels will have nowhere to escape."

"Anyone who dares to cause trouble on my turf will undoubtedly die."

Dai Fangqi laughed heartily, feeling very joyful.

Do not look at the fact that the Xuanhuang Sect has now conquered one thousand Great Thousand Worlds; in reality, these resistance forces are still hiding in the shadows, frequently plotting various acts of resistance and violence in secret.

Sometimes, some Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators might be assassinated by these rebels.

After all, those forces that were originally nobles of the Tianxin World have had their territories seized by the Xuanhuang Sect, so naturally, they cannot swallow this insult and are constantly thinking of revenge.

Since the Xuanhuang Sect has not been conquering this world for very long, their understanding of the Tianxin World is not very profound; these local natives hide at will in certain secret places, and the Xuanhuang Sect finds it difficult to track them down.

Therefore, many Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators can only turn a blind eye.

It is just like mosquitoes.

Although very annoying, there is nothing that can be done, as they always appear in secret.

They have no intention of confronting the Xuanhuang Sect head-on.

However, things are different now.

After mastering this Official Seal, he is equivalent to a deity in this region; any outsider attempting to enter this area will be perceived by him with absolute clarity, like a firefly in the dark of night.

More importantly, after mastering this Official Seal, he can sense enemies and arrive in an instant.

Once an enemy wants to plot any conspiracy, they will be thwarted by him at the first opportunity.

The benefits gained from this can be imagined.

This is absolutely an incredible Dharma Treasure.

"Lord Shuxian, if this is the case, if I leave Wulan City, wouldn't the power of the Official Seal disappear?" Dai Fangqi could not help but think of this point.

He always felt that this Official Seal had a great degree of limitation and could not be used infinitely.

"That is correct, the power of the Official Seal will indeed disappear."

"For example, the radiation range of the power of the Wulan City Official Seal is only within Wulan City and cannot reach other places."

Shuxian also admitted this point.

"So that is how it is."

Hearing this, Dai Fangqi felt a little regretful.

If the power of this Dharma Treasure could be applied anywhere, wouldn't he be invincible?

However, even so, as long as he stays in Wulan City, he is a powerful existence.

Even an Integration Stage Cultivator would not dare to act wildly in front of him.

This point alone is enough to prove the formidable nature of this Official Seal; it is simply like an Immortal Artifact.

If he had not experienced the power of the Official Seal personally, he would not have believed that such a Dharma Treasure existed in the world.

"Lord Shuxian, if this is the case, wouldn't there be higher-level Official Seals?"

Dai Fangqi immediately thought of this point.

After all, in this Great Thousand World, he is not the only city lord.

There are plenty of people with higher official ranks than him.

If even he can obtain an Official Seal, then there is no need to mention others.

"That is correct, Official Seals naturally have differences in rank."

"Not only do the various city lords have corresponding Official Seals, but even ordinary officials have Official Seals."

"Even high-ranking officials in the military will have similar Dharma Treasures."

"In short, this is a complete system."

"The Sect Master can appoint officials one by one to guard the various regions of the Xuanhuang Sect."

"As long as the Official Seal remains, then no matter who is the official, they can guard a region."

"Protecting the safety of this heaven and earth."

Shuxian said straightforwardly.

Clearly, the appearance of the Immortal Art Conferring Gods will completely change the system of the Xuanhuang Sect, thereby causing the Xuanhuang Sect to undergo earth-shaking changes, while also being able to completely integrate the various worlds into one.

For the Xuanhuang Sect, the Official Seal is the most important thing.

If the Official Seal exists, then it represents that the power exists eternally.

Even if it is impossible to give birth to high-level Cultivators, as long as the power of the Official Seal remains, it can still protect a place.

"If you put it that way, aren't we officials helping the Xuanhuang Sect refine Dharma Treasures?"

"And we are not the masters of the Dharma Treasure?"

Hearing this, Dai Fangqi immediately understood the Sect Master's plan; clearly, they are all tools, using their power to refine the Official Seals one by one.

As time passes, these Official Seals will be refined into immortal Dharma Treasures, and their power will continuously increase.

Even if these people die, or go to other places.

As long as someone can come to take over the position and control the Official Seal, they can still become the controller of this place.

This is just like becoming a local deity of the land.

"It can indeed be understood this way."

"However, you can also obtain huge benefits from it."

"After refining the Official Seal, you can obtain the protection of the Luck of this place."

"The cultivation efficiency is several times, or even ten times higher than before, and the probability of breaking through bottlenecks will also be higher."

"In other words, as long as you become an official, your hundred years of holding office will be comparable to several hundred years of bitter cultivation."

Shuxian mentioned some of the benefits.

After all, if one can obtain the protection of the Luck of a place, then cultivation will naturally progress rapidly.

Who knows how many Cultivators break their heads trying to obtain the corresponding position and then control the Official Seal.

"There is actually such a benefit?"

"In that case, wouldn't the positions of the various City Lords and officials be fought over until heads are broken?"

Dai Fangqi's pupils constricted; he was no fool and immediately realized just how highly sought-after official positions would become in the future.

To tell the truth, going to various places to serve as an official was previously considered a decent position.

But for true cultivation geniuses, this was not exactly a great errand.

Because once one becomes an official, they are troubled by numerous miscellaneous affairs.

At that point, it might drag down their own cultivation, which is completely not worth the loss.

Rather than becoming an official for such petty gains, it is better to stay in one's Cave Abode and cultivate diligently.

After all, attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal is the goal that many Xuanhuang Sect Disciples dream of.

"That's right, after the Official Seal appeared, it already caused a huge stir within the Xuanhuang Sect."

"Currently, many Xuanhuang Sect Inner Sect Disciples, and even True Disciples, have applied to go to various places to serve as officials."

"But because the number of applicants is simply too high, further assessment is needed before arrangements can be made."

The Book Immortal explained.

Without a doubt, after the benefits of refining the Official Seal spread, it immediately made numerous Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators excited.

To a certain extent, the Official Seal is a massive cultivation auxiliary Artifact.

Who wouldn't want to obtain such a magical Dharma Treasure?

Even if it means acting as a tool to help refine the Dharma Treasure Official Seal, it doesn't matter; they aren't losing out anyway.

They can even obtain quite a few benefits from it.

Therefore, such positions are naturally fought over until heads are broken.

"If that's the case, it's fortunate that I applied in time to come to Wulan City to serve as City Lord."

"If I had been even a step late, I'm afraid such a position wouldn't have fallen to me."

Dai Fangqi felt extremely fortunate.

He felt his luck was at its peak; he had only been City Lord for a few years, and he actually happened upon the emergence of the Official Seal.

This is simply heaven helping him.

If his cultivation efficiency increases several times over, then he too will have the possibility of attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal in the future.

"However, there is one thing I need to remind you of."

"The magnitude of the Official Seal's power is closely tied to your governance of the city."

"If Wulan City's economy flourishes, the population is large, many high-level Cultivators are nurtured, Luck is prosperous, and the government and people are in harmony,"

"Then the power of the Official Seal will become increasingly formidable, and you will be able to unleash even greater might."

"If you cause this place to be plagued by heaven's wrath and people's grievances, then you will also suffer the backlash of Luck."

"Therefore, mastering the Official Seal is not just as simple as having power; it is also an obligation."

"Without a doubt, if you are complained about by local residents and cause the Luck of this place to decline, then you will also bear major responsibility."

"Lightly, you will be imprisoned; heavily, you will be executed."

The Book Immortal warned.

After all, many people, once they grasp immense power, begin to lose themselves and even want to do whatever they please.

Therefore, it is necessary to warn these Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators in advance, lest they walk the wrong path.

Of course, under the surveillance of the Dream World, these officials located all over the world have nowhere to hide.

Whenever anything happens, it can be reported through the Dream World, and problems can be solved immediately.

It can be said that the saying "the mountains are high and the emperor is far away" no longer exists.

Every place ruled by the Xuanhuang Sect is like an Inch by Inch World, simply akin to a village.

"Yes, Master Book Immortal."

Dai Fangqi nodded, his expression very serious.

He realized that becoming an official is not such an easy matter; he is afraid there will also be performance assessments.

If the assessment is not passed, it is possible that the Official Seal will be stripped away and the position revoked.

At that time, he might completely lose a massive opportunity.

Therefore, he felt that he perhaps needed to be more attentive to the affairs of Wulan City.

He could no longer be like he was before, ignoring Wulan City.

Thinking of this, Dai Fangqi's heart stirred, and he immediately opened his chat group.

He discovered at once that his Xuanhuang Sect Disciple group had completely exploded.

Without a doubt, the appearance of the Official Seal had caused a sensation among numerous Xuanhuang Sect Cultivators.

"My god, the Sect Master actually refined a Treasure like the Official Seal."

"As long as one refines an Official Seal, one can sit in charge of a region and grasp absolute power."

"More importantly, one can also increase one's cultivation speed and help break through bottlenecks."

"This is simply the path to becoming an immortal."

"Don't stop me, everyone, I want to go be an official."

A Xuanhuang Sect Inner Sect Disciple sent his message into the group, very excited.

He felt that the appearance of the Official Seal was simply an epoch-making change for the Xuanhuang Sect.

Even a Cultivator with ordinary talent, as long as they refined an Official Seal, could obtain a cultivation speed comparable to a genius.

This is also an important reason for attracting countless Cultivators.

"Hehe, do you think you can just be an official if you want to?"

"Before the Official Seal came out, you could go to any place to be an official as you pleased."

"But now, this is no longer a bitter chore, but a highly sought-after prize."

"It is not just us Inner Sect Disciples who want to snatch up official positions, but also the True Disciples."

"It is said that some Elders also want to come out of seclusion personally to occupy the positions of City Lords in those main cities."

"For us to want to snatch one or two official positions is simply wishful thinking; it is truly too difficult."

Someone said with great helplessness.

If they could have occupied an official position in advance before the news spread, then naturally they would not need to compete with latecomers, but now the situation is completely different.

Too many people are competing for such positions.

However, the number of official positions is limited, which requires everyone to fight for them.

This is the so-called "thousands of troops and horses crossing a single-plank bridge."

It is estimated that those who can succeed are few and far between.

Many people regret it so much that their guts have turned green; had they known that being an official would have such benefits, they would have applied for an external posting long ago.

But now it is too late to say anything, and there is no regret medicine to eat in this world.

"Fortunately, I am already the City Lord of Wulan City."

"Otherwise, I would still have to compete with other fellow disciples."

Seeing this content, Dai Fangqi felt extremely fortunate.

After all, he knows exactly how monstrous the Cultivators of the Xuanhuang Sect are; the reason he was able to be sent out to become a City Lord is simply because those monsters did not compete with him.

Once they competed, he feared he would not have such an opportunity.

But regardless, this is indeed his greatest stroke of luck.

If he grasps it well, then there is hope for him to become an immortal in the future.

"However, the power of the Official Seal is indeed extraordinary."

"After mastering the Official Seal, it is just like being a deity of a region."

"Not only can one discern the situation of a region, but one can also use Instant Movement to reach any place within one's territory."

"I think this is no different from an ordinary immortal."

"I can only say that Sect Master is truly too formidable; I do not know what method was used to refine such a Dharma Treasure."

Someone said with great emotion, having already experienced the power of the Official Seal.

To a certain extent, he felt that perhaps it was no different from an Immortal Artifact.

Moreover, ordinary people can use it, and the threshold is very low, which is already quite incredible.

"As far as I know, the materials for refining the Official Seal are not simple; they seem to be Taiyi Refined Gold from the Immortal World."

"After adding this Immortal World material, the Official Seal is made almost indestructible."

"Even a full-strength strike from a Great Vehicle Loose Immortal cannot damage these Official Seals in the slightest."

"The Official Seal even has an Immortal Technique fused within it, which is why it possesses such incredible abilities."

Many people were discussing it, starting to chat about the origin of the Official Seal.

But generally speaking, they were not very clear about it, only knowing that this Dharma Treasure is indeed extraordinary.

It is not something that an ordinary Cultivator could refine.

This definitely belongs to a Dharma Treasure unique to the Xuanhuang Sect, which can be described as infinitely profound and unfathomable.

"I think that with this Dharma Treasure, managing cities in the future will be very simple."

"Especially those cities in other worlds that have just been occupied."

"Previously, those indigenous people from other worlds were all like mice, hiding in the dark to carry out sneak attacks."

"Because we were not familiar with the other worlds, we could only let them do as they pleased."

"But now it is different; having mastered the power of the Official Seal, these mice in the dark have nowhere to hide."

"If they still dare to come to my territory to run wild, then they will surely die."

Someone laughed loudly, feeling that after refining the Official Seal, it is basically impossible for outsiders to invade his territory; under the shroud of Luck, all demons and monsters will completely reveal their true forms.

Without a doubt, once this system is promoted, the Xuanhuang Sect's control over various regions will likely rise to a higher level, and it will no longer be possible to overthrow the rule of the Xuanhuang Sect.

…………

At the same time, Xuanhuang Peak.

The women gathered together, and they were all looking at the Divine Seals in their hands with excitement.

These Divine Seals were all refined by Zhou Sui.

As his Dao Companions, they naturally enjoy the most benefits, which is also a matter without doubt.

"Is this the Divine Seal? Can one obtain a Divine Position after refining it? To become a god of the Human Race?"

Ji Bingyu curiously examined the Divine Seal in her hand; she could perceive that this was a peculiar Dharma Treasure, containing immortal power, and it was indeed unfathomable.

At the same time, her body also seemed to be very eager to refine this Divine Seal.

To her, this was definitely an incredible Dharma Treasure.

"That's right, the number of Divine Positions is limited."

"First come, first served."

"You all have different degrees of talent, so you will also obtain different Divine Positions."

"Once you obtain a Divine Position, you will receive the protection of the Human Race's Luck."

"Cultivation efficiency will increase by more than several dozen times."

"At the same time, it will also make it easier for you to comprehend the Heavenly Law."

"Of course, you also need to shoulder the responsibility of protecting the Human Race."

"These two are complementary."

Zhou Sui explained.

Clearly, compared to an Official Seal, a Divine Seal is naturally on a higher level.

After all, an Official Seal is merely a Treasure refined by mortals.

But as for a Divine Seal, it can only be refined by immortals, and it grants mastery over immense authority.

As long as one is within the Human Territory, the deity who has refined the Divine Seal will possess formidable combat power.

At the same time, they will also receive the blessing of the infinite Luck of the Human Race.

Therefore, after his Dao Companion refines the Divine Seal, her strength will certainly increase significantly.

Then, her cultivation speed will also receive an astonishing boost; the benefits can be described as infinite.

"Good."

Hearing this, Ji Bingyu and the others' eyes immediately lit up, and they felt very excited.

Without saying another word, they immediately refined this Divine Seal completely.

Then they felt an invisible power from the void blessing them, thereby causing their combat power to receive an astonishing boost, as if they had mastered immense authority.
