Chapter 117: Earthly Divine Rice

Only to see Zhenyuanzi holding the Earth Book, one of the three books of Heaven, Earth, and Man, praying to Heaven with a solemn expression.

"The Heavenly Rice is above, let all the gods of the Divine Court bear witness: I, Zhenyuanzi, have contemplated the Earth Book and realized a Rice from it, named: Earth Immortal Great Rice!"

"Now, feeling that the ley lines of the Primordial Land are in chaos, and the lakes and rivers are running rampant, causing harm to the regions, I hereby establish the Earth Immortal Great Rice!"

"The Earth Immortal Great Rice is both an Immortal Rice and a Divine Rice; whether one is a Divine Rice Cultivator or an Immortal Rice Cultivator, all may set foot upon the Earth Immortal Great Rice!"

"An Earth Immortal is one who is enfeoffed by the Earth Deity Divine Rice and thus attains a region, which is an Earth Immortal. Therefore, I shall enfeoff the Mountain Gods, Land Deities, and River Earls of the world, to assist the Heavenly Court Divine Court in managing the Primordial Land, open up a Netherworld Divine Kingdom, connect the Underworld, and assist the Earth Deity Divine Court in governing the white souls! With the Superior Innate Spiritual Treasure Earth Book to suppress the Qi Luck of the Earth Immortal Rice, the Earth Immortal Great Rice, established!!"

"Boom!"

Above the nine heavens, the Heavenly Rice responded, the Divine Court echoed, and the Earth Deity Divine Court praised, all of which were accompanied by the sound of thunder.

Soon, in the area of Wanshou Mountain, auspicious clouds arose, and a golden light of merit descended from the sky.

Sixty percent fell upon Zhenyuanzi, and thirty percent fell upon the Innate Spiritual Treasure Earth Book.

After the Earth Book received the merit, it suddenly split into three, transforming into three Superior Innate Spiritual Treasures: the Mountain God Seal, the Land Deity Seal, and the Water God Seal.

Ten percent of the merit fell upon the Underworld Earth Deity Divine Court.

At the same time, as the merit entered his body, Zhenyuanzi's cultivation base began to grow rapidly.

As the barrier broke, a powerful aura erupted from his body, suppressing all directions.

This aura was like a Saint yet not a Saint, like a God yet not a God, yet it was the birth of the first Sub-Saint between Heaven and Earth.

A Sub-Saint is similar to a Saint of the Heavenly Rice, immortal and indestructible, but has not attained the Heavens Rice, having only attained the Primordial Great Thousand Rice.

This! Is a Sub-Saint! However, even so, it allowed countless Primordial Great Gods to see hope, to see another path.

Moreover.

The Primordial Calamity had not ended long ago, and the various disasters and the scourge of fierce beasts left on the Primordial Land indeed needed others to manage them.

One must know.

As a top Great Supernatural Being of the Mysterious Gate Immortal Rice in the Primordial Land, Zhenyuanzi's reputation was truly renowned throughout the Primordial Land.

Yet, at this moment, he had joined forces with the Earth Deity Divine Court to create the Earth Immortal Rice.

Although this did not indicate that Zhenyuanzi had switched to cultivating the Divine Rice, this move by Zhenyuanzi truly helped the Divine Court solve two difficult problems.

Not only did he help the Heavenly Court Divine Court manage the ley lines and waters, but he also helped the Earth Deity Divine Court solve the problem of insufficient manpower.

Just as the gods of the Primordial Land were exclaiming in wonder, there was another celestial phenomenon change in the direction of Wanshou Mountain.

Only to see two massive figures flickering with Divine Light appearing in the sky.

"This is... are these the two Supreme Emperors of the Underworld?"

As soon as these figures appeared, they were immediately recognized by many cultivators nearby.

The arrivals were precisely the projections of the two Great Emperors of the Underworld Earth Deity Divine Court, Huangtian and Houtu.

Seeing this, Zhenyuanzi and his group also bowed to Huangtian and Houtu with solemn expressions.

Only to see.

Huangtian on the left smiled and said: "Congratulations, fellow Daoist!"

Zhenyuanzi also smiled and said: "Congratulations to you too!"

Seeing this, Huangtian could not help but nod, then exchanged a glance with Houtu.

Then the two said aloud simultaneously.

"Now, feeling that the virtuous Zhenyuanzi has solved the problems of the Underworld for the Earth Deity Divine Court, we hereby enfeoff him as the Earth Immortal Ancestor, to enjoy the Qi Luck of the Earth Immortal, and specially grant Zhenyuanzi the title of the first God of the Divine Mountain Mount Tai, as the Mount Tai Lord!"

Hearing this, Zhenyuanzi below could not help but smile bitterly, but after thinking about it, he finally decided to accept it.

But it was not him! After thinking this.

Only to see a flash of Divine Light behind his head, and a middle-aged man wearing a divine robe walked out from it.

"This poor Daoist Diyuan, greets all fellow Daoists!"

Seeing this, Zhenyuanzi smiled and said: "I have troubled you, fellow Daoist!"

"Indeed!"

After speaking, the Daoist Diyuan took the divine seal under the gaze of the Primordial gods, and soon a seal inscribed with Mount Tai Lord was separated from the Mountain God Seal. At this moment, Emperor Houtu in the sky saw this and could not help but lower the projections of two spiritual treasures.

Only to see.

One book and one brush, these two spiritual treasures were the important Qi Luck Supreme Treasures of the Earthly Divine Rice: the Life and Death Book and the Judge Brush.

It was just that they were also projections of the two Supreme Treasures.

The two spiritual treasures also flashed with Divine Light and flew toward the Mount Tai Lord respectively.

Seeing this, the Daoist Diyuan also respectfully accepted the two spiritual treasures.

After doing all this, the Daoist Diyuan shouted aloud again.

"From this day forward, I, the poor Daoist Diyuan, am the first Mount Tai Lord of the Primordial Heaven and Earth, the Mount Tai Great Emperor, weighing truth and falsehood, upholding justice with awe; judging yin and yang, observing the finest details!"

After speaking, the Divine Light flowed on his body, and his Daoist robe changed into the divine official robe of the Mount Tai Lord.

After this change, he respectfully bowed to Huangtian and Houtu: "Mount Tai Great Emperor, greets the Earthly Deity Supreme Emperors Huangtian and Houtu!"

"Indeed~!"

Huangtian and Houtu saw this, and their faces revealed expressions of satisfaction.

Countless Loose Cultivators of famous mountains on the side all showed expressions of envy, and at the same time, they were all eager to say something.

And this scene fell into the eyes of Huangtian and Houtu, and a trace of a smile immediately appeared at the corners of their eyes.

After Diyuan finished all this, he exchanged a glance with Zhenyuanzi, and under the gaze of the gods, he turned into a ray of Divine Light and flew toward the location of Mount Tai.

He was heading to Mount Tai to take up his post.

Just at this moment, Huangtian beckoned to the three Superior Innate Spiritual Treasures below.

The Mountain God Seal, the Land Deity Seal, and the Water God Seal all flew toward him.

At the right moment, he looked at the Loose Cultivators below and said indifferently: "From today on, any virtuous person in the Primordial Land, those with ambition, may all swear an oath to the Earth Deity Divine Court and receive an enfeoffment!"

Having said this, the two, Huangtian and Houtu, slowly vanished under the smiling farewell of Zhenyuanzi.

Before long.

The countless Loose Cultivators watching the ceremony all burst into excited laughter.

After coming to their senses, they all offered their congratulations to Zhenyuanzi in unison.

Three days later.

On West Kunlun Mountain, there was a spiritual being named Lu Wu, at the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal, with a human face, tiger body, tiger claws, and nine tails.

Because he was on good terms with the Queen Mother of the West, he went to Wanshou Mountain on behalf of the Queen Mother of the West's lineage to observe the ceremony.

After returning to Kunlun Hill, he thought it over and over, and finally decided to join the Earthly Divine Rice.

For no other reason.

Because the Earth Deity Divine Path allows one to ascend to the Divine Court with an Immortal Rice body and enjoy the Qi Luck of the Earth Deity Divine Court.

He could not go to the Heavenly Court Divine Court, so wasn't the Earth Deity Divine Court the best choice for this poor Daoist? In any case, the Earth Deity Divine Court was also subordinate to the God Court Lord of the Heavenly Court Divine Court.

This was no different from joining the Divine Court, was it? Furthermore.

By joining the Earth Deity Divine Court, he, Lu Wu, would also be a person with a profound background, backed by one who had attained the Proof of Rice.

Thinking of this, he could not help but recall the Twelve Golden Immortals among the Saint's disciples of East Kunlun, and a cold glint suddenly flashed in his eyes.

"Randeng, Guangchengzi! You surely would not have guessed that soon this poor Daoist will also be a person with a profound background, backed by one who has attained the Proof of Rice!"

Speaking of this, a look of determination flashed across Lu Wu's eyes.

Subsequently, he straightened his expression, soared into the air, and shouted loudly toward the sky.

"Huangtian and Houtu above, this poor Daoist Lu Wu is a Loose Cultivator of Kunlun Hill."

"Feeling that the Kunlun earth veins are in chaos, I specially request the Great Emperor to bestow a Divine Seal. I, Lu Wu, am willing to open up a netherworld to harmonize the earth veins and, in addition, govern the affairs of the netherworld! May Huangtian and Houtu bear witness!"
