Chapter 361: Xiang Xuanqing: I Want to Enshrine Gods!
"Tai Wei's new plan is set; it's enlightening all things, maybe the Enlightenment Race!" The undercover agent of the Metal Qilin clan reported to the Elder Council.
Elder Council: "Enlightenment Race? Copying our race name, right? Find a way to let the Immortal Path interrupt their progress, or at least let them get a name like Spirit Race."
"Absolutely cannot let them organize an Enlightenment Race; it sounds annoying."
"Received!"
The undercover agent of the Phoenix clan reported to Yuan Feng: "Clan Leader, Tai Wei uses star preaching to create a new race; it is estimated to be the Star-Chasing Race!"
Yuan Feng was surprised: "There is such a thing?"
The undercover agent asked: "Regarding this matter, what good strategy does the Clan Leader have?"
Yuan Feng pondered for a moment and replied: "Differentiate and absorb, infiltrate reasonably."
"Please instruct, Clan Leader."
Yuan Feng explained: "No matter what race they create, it actually doesn't harm our interests; you must know that our Phoenix clan is the leader of flying birds."
"All things enlightened by starlight and transformed are our race if they can fly, and our race if they have feathers."
"There are four great elements in the world: earth, fire, water, and wind. Our Phoenix clan is the ancestor of fire elements; all fire spirits, fire monsters, and fire gods in the world can join our clan."
"Our clan practices the method of nirvana and performs the act of saving the world; it is bright, magnificent, and sacred. All those who yearn for light can become our kind."
"No matter what race Tai Wei wants to create, whether it's the Star-Chasing Race, the Enlightenment Race, or some other race, the living beings on the earth can be absorbed and assimilated by us."
Yuan Feng had a broad mind and a long-term vision; he said: "In fact, Tai Wei helping all things open their spiritual wisdom is a good thing for us and for the Primordial World."
"The Primordial World has more living beings with emotion, spirit, and wisdom, which can expand the scale of Primordial World cultivators and replenish fresh blood for the myriad races of the Primordial World."
"Our Phoenix clan can even take advantage of this wind to obtain many high-quality clansmen."
"So, there is no need to panic at all."
"Clan Leader's high opinion!" The
The Dragon Clan.
"Your Majesty Meng Zhang, the wolfish ambition of the Taiwei Enclosure is clear as day; they are clearly setting the rhythm to create a God Clan!" 【Goddess of Danxiao】 Ying Long personally spread the rumor.
The Azure Dragon hesitated for a moment: "Should we burn a stick of incense for Big Brother?"
"Big Brother said before he died: for small matters, burn incense; for major matters, summon the soul. If there is a response, dig up the grave immediately. I think digging up the grave directly is more reliable," Ying Long said.
The Azure Dragon asked: "How does Fourth Sister see it?"
The White Dragon replied: "Watch it repeatedly."
"What does that mean?" the Azure Dragon and Ying Long asked.
"Learn how Taiwei operates; if we Dragon Clan members could also pull off such a grand feat, that would be great."
The White Dragon was very calm, and she said unhurriedly: "Anyway, no matter what kind of race Taiwei wants to create, our Dragon Clan won't lose out."
"What is the definition of the Dragon Clan? To put it narrowly, anything with scales and armor is a dragon; to put it broadly, anyone with desire can also become a dragon."
"So no matter what this new race is, we can let it become part of the Dragon Clan, or have the Dragon Clan become part of this new race."
The Azure Dragon listened and agreed wholeheartedly.
"Fourth Sister has profound insight!"
"Then let's not dig up Big Brother's grave; let him rest in peace after death."
Once their thinking was opened up, the Dragon Clan was indeed less wary of a potentially emerging new race.
After all, their Dragon Clan had indeed embarked on a broad road of compatibility and inclusion.
With the Dragon Clan's philanthropic spirit, they could fully assist all races in completing their cultivation and develop an evolutionary path toward True Dragons for the other party.
Dual cultivation is a two-way journey of cultivation.
And the greatness of the Dragon Clan lies in the fact that they can complete this two-way journey with any living creature.
This is love!
At this very moment, the myriad races of the Primordial World that already possessed wisdom were deeply shocked by this move from the Taiwei Enclosure.
Some nature-loving races, such as the Wood Clan, Stone Clan, and Earth Clan, discovered that the homelands they relied on for survival—those mountains, rivers, plants, trees, earth, and mineral veins—had all become more spiritual under Taiwei's grace, and many new "kindred" had even been born.
This sense of intimacy, connected by blood, made them naturally develop a fondness for the Taiwei Enclosure.
Many weak races struggling to survive in the Primordial World saw hope in the Taiwei Enclosure's actions of "teaching without discrimination" and "nurturing all things."
Although the Immortal Path preached to all living beings, the threshold of the Immortal Path was still too high for them.
This silent, nourishing method of the Taiwei Enclosure was very suitable for them.
"The stars awaken all spirits; even plants, trees, sand, and stones can enter the Dao. Though we are weak, we are also living beings. Taiwei may be our true destination!" Such voices quietly circulated among the weak races.
As time passed, outstanding individuals began to emerge among the first batch of living beings inspired by the "Stars Awaken All Spirits" plan.
Some of them, relying on their superior talent and devotion to the Star Dao, successfully passed the trials, ascended to the Nine Heavens, were granted "Heavenly Talisman Star Seals," and became members of the Zhou Tian Star Gods, working together to maintain the order of the starry sky and strengthen the momentum of the Taiwei Enclosure.
More chose the other path in Di Jun's blueprint—returning to their homelands.
They were enfeoffed by the Taiwei Enclosure as gods of the mountains, rivers, spirits of plants and trees, and spirits of the Five Elements of the Primordial Earth...
They took root in the land that raised them, using the wisdom and power bestowed by the Taiwei Dao to manage the local water and soil, comb through the spiritual energy of the earth's veins, and bring benefits to the local living beings.
These newly promoted Mountain Gods and River Lords, because they originated from that land, held deep feelings for their hometowns.
They worked diligently, integrating Taiwei's philosophy and grace more deeply into the daily operations of the Primordial Earth.
The order of the Primordial World, under the governance of these new gods, became more harmonious and stable, and the spiritual energy became increasingly abundant.
Their success was in itself the most vivid proof of the Taiwei Enclosure's achievements.
Through them, the philosophy and system displayed by the Taiwei Enclosure also gradually spread as the spirit-awakening movement progressed.
The "come from the masses, go to the masses" proposed by Di Jun, the "Heavenly Dao Merit Assessment System" supplemented by Hearing Fu Xi Xi, and the "Star Realm Projection" of the Friend Friend Yinghuo—those "Star Light Mystical Realms" spread throughout the Primordial World—provided a fair and open platform for cultivation and promotion for all living beings who looked toward Taiwei.
In the Star Light Mystical Realms, whether it was a newborn plant spirit or a long-famous rogue immortal, all could bathe in starlight, comprehend the Dao, and obtain star inheritance.
Those who performed excellently could even receive personal guidance from the Star Gods.
This atmosphere of not asking about background and promoting only based on talent attracted a large number of living beings.
Some gods, driven by curiosity, also obtained partial inheritance by defecting to Taiwei.
"So, this is what Taiwei is like?"
"Once the thought of defecting arises, one suddenly feels the world is wide!"
"Taiwei is the direction of the Great Dao."
For a time, the hearts of the people on the Primordial Earth were restless.
Countless forces that were originally wavering between the Immortal Path and Taiwei began to seriously evaluate the potential and philosophy of both sides.
One had to admit that this combination of moves by Taiwei was too successful.
The implementation of the "Heavenly Dao Merit Assessment System" stimulated the enthusiasm of all living beings and gods who had defected to the Taiwei Enclosure.
Whether they were Star Gods of the Heavenly Realm or new deities of the earth, they were all evaluated based on their contributions to the stability of the Primordial World, the prosperity of all things, and the flourishing of the Great Dao.
The Taiwei Enclosure hung high in the Nine Heavens, but its brilliance was no longer limited to the starry sky.
It became the enlightening teacher for the low-level life of the entire Primordial World, the guide for them to embark on the path of cultivation, and the most sacred source of faith in their hearts.
The hearts of the people are the trend of the times.
The Dao Alliance was still a behemoth, but in the competition for the "Great Dao Foundation," the Taiwei Enclosure, by virtue of the magnificent and unprecedented "Stars Awaken All Spirits" plan, had already occupied an unshakable absolute upper hand.
The Taiwei Dao, just like that endless starlight, would truly become the source of living water that nourishes all things and pushes the Primordial World forward.
Above the Nine Heavens, within the Taiwei Enclosure.
Xiang Xuanqing looked at the pure power of faith emerging from the new wisdom of all parts of the Primordial World on the Star Network, and at the scene of each newly promoted deity shining and heating up in their respective positions, a profound smile curling at the corner of his mouth.
"Positive, upward, striving for development—this is the Primordial World I wanted!"
After the new round of work inspections ended, the Heavenly Emperor turned his gaze toward the Primordial Earth.
"The Taiyi Gods of the Primordial World, and even those Great Luo Supremes who are watching from the sidelines, must be wavering in their hearts at this moment."
The Taiwei Gods also looked toward the Primordial Earth, each with a smile on their face.
"Wavering? That's exactly right."
Xiang Xuanqing smiled: "They still need a dose of strong medicine!"
"Does the Heavenly Emperor have another big move?" Di Jun asked.
"Of course!"
A golden light flashed in Xiang Xuanqing's palm, and the Investiture of the Gods appeared in his hand.
"We are awakening spirits for all things to sink the foundation of the Taiwei Enclosure's rule."
"And what we need to do next is to win over these middle-of-the-roaders and top-tier combatants among the Primordial sacred beings."
"Therefore, I plan to start the Investiture of the Gods plan and enfeoff ten thousand gods!"
"Investiture of the Gods plan?" The Taiwei Gods looked at each other.
"That's right."
Xiang Xuanqing smiled: "Since we want to create a new era in the Primordial World, establish a Heavenly Court, and rule over all the heavens, we naturally need to unite all forces that can be united and absorb all talents that can be absorbed."
"Governing the Three Realms together with the sages of the Primordial World and leading all directions—what do you all think of this slogan?"
"The slogan is good, but I have a question—will any gods really be willing to accept our enfeoffment?"
【Friend Friend Yinghuo】 Ming He asked: "Among the Primordial Gods, whether it's Taiyi or Great Luo, or any immortal, which one doesn't have tens of thousands of schemes?"
"Before we have officially defeated the Immortal Path, will this group of gods really place their bets so easily?"
"They will, Daoist friend, they will."
Friend Friend Yinghuo smiled and looked at Ming He, saying: "Don't forget, the bottom line of our Primordial Gods is that there is no bottom line."
"The Great Dao can be sought; even a whip-wielding servant will do it."
"As long as the temptation we offer is great enough and the stage we provide is large enough, we don't have to worry about no gods taking the bait."
"Aren't the sacred beings who defected during the Fierce Beast Catastrophe the best examples?"
"That's right!" Friend Friend Yinghuo's eyes shone, and she clapped her hands and laughed: "Our Primordial Gods are serious about finding fun."
"The Heavenly Emperor enfeoffing ten thousand gods and agreeing with the gods to govern the Three Realms together—I think this definitely counts as a big fun."
"Don't they want to come and see our Taiwei? Don't they want to become messengers of justice and enforce the law on behalf of Heaven?"
"Don't they want to find a big organization to rely on?"
"I absolutely support the Investiture of the Gods!" Di Jun expressed his agreement without hesitation.
As the founder of the Divine Path, the more gods Taiwei enfeoffs, the more beneficial it is for him to develop the Divine Path!
【Lady Jin Mu】 Wang Shu also nodded, and she said: "The Primordial Gods are still wavering, hesitating, and watching because they are still outside the game."
"As long as they enter the game, we can use the 'cultivation of the Great Dao'—ahem, I mean, rely on sincere guidance to lead them to wholeheartedly support Taiwei, turning them into vanguards of doing good and accumulating virtue, and true great gods who save the suffering!"
Wang Shu indicated that the Heavenly Emperor doesn't need to worry about the problem of turncoats at all.
Since ancient times, it has always been sincerity for sincerity.
As long as he starts the Investiture of the Gods, she can play the cultivation game.
She can definitely help the Heavenly Emperor cultivate a group of excellent Heavenly Gods who serve the living beings of the Primordial World.
【Friend Friend Yinghuo】 Hearing Fu Xi Xi also stated: "The Heavenly Emperor enfeoffing ten thousand gods must definitely be checked layer by layer and screened continuously. It doesn't matter if a traitor is selected; just send them to the God-Slaying Platform for a walk."
"Of course, if the Heavenly Emperor finds it troublesome, I can add the World-Extinguishing Divine Thunder to the Heavenly Dao review system; if I find a heretic, I'll just strike them dead."
"I guarantee we only develop Daoist friends and don't subsidize enemies."
"Friend Friend Yinghuo, your World-Extinguishing Heavenly Thunder is still too cruel; it's better to use pills."
Taishang said with compassion: "We must also have a compassionate heart for our enemies; we must give them care before they die. I think letting them help us test pills is a good decision. I recently refined a batch of 'Indestructible Ten Thousand Beasts Coming to Court Pills' based on the characteristics of the Fierce Beast Clan, and I'm just short of a batch of volunteers."
Master Mo Zu Luo Hou said indifferently: "Our Demon Path has some Demon Caves that can temper the heart."
【Friend Friend Yinghuo】 Zhen Yuanzi said: "I can farm, and I'm good at planting every traitor in the ground!"
Listening to the fierce words of the Taiwei Gods, Xiang Xuanqing was between laughter and tears.
He said: "I am sincerely enfeoffing ten thousand gods; don't mess around."
"Taiwei wants to rule all the heavens and myriad worlds, and we also need more gods to join us."
"Moreover, this plan is also what I use to expand the authority of the Heavenly Dao."
Xiang Xuanqing explained: "The Primordial Heavenly Dao was planned by us and brought out through Hongjun's hands. Although it has great power, I think it's not enough."
"What's more, another part of the Heavenly Dao authority is still in Hongjun's hands, making it easy to be restrained by him."
"So I have an idea: can we use the power of the Heavenly Dao to enfeoff the gods and give them Heavenly and Earthly God Positions in exchange for their support for the Taiwei Heavenly Dao, and use their Great Dao to feed back into the Heavenly Dao?"
"There are three thousand Great Daos, and the Heavenly Dao also has three thousand. If we choose three thousand Great Dao Lords to hold one kind of Heavenly Dao, I think only such a Heavenly Dao can be called powerful and worthy of our Taiwei Heavenly Court!"
The Taiwei Gods listened and clicked their tongues in secret.
Choosing three thousand Great Dao Lords to preside over the Heavenly Dao?
Good fellow, the Heavenly Emperor's Investiture of the Gods plan is crazy enough!
If this matter succeeds, there's no need to take back the remaining Heavenly Dao control from Hongjun; they could probably make the Heavenly Dao approach perfection themselves!
"Therefore, the first stage of the Investiture of the Gods plan is to enfeoff ten thousand gods, and the second stage is to screen the three thousand Great Dao Lords."
"Of course, the difficulty of the latter is a bit high. We will promote the former first and take care of the development of the second stage."
Xiang Xuanqing gave the next development goal.
The gods all nodded.
"Secure the first, strive for the second, and do our best!"
"We must do this Investiture of the Gods well!"
Not long after, a piece of news shocked the Primordial World.
The Taiwei Heavenly Emperor started the Investiture of the Gods plan to enfeoff the Heavenly Gods and Earthly Deities of the Primordial World.
This left the Primordial Gods and living beings who had just recovered from the "All Things Spirit Awakening" plan stunned.
"Sure enough, the Dao Alliance's antics are just for fun; the key still depends on the Taiwei Enclosure!"
Mount Kaiming, the thirteen Ancestral Wu sat on the ground eating melons.
The Dao Alliance preaching and opening nine paths to prove the Dao had already given them quite a shock.
After all, the Great Dao should not be preached lightly—that was the consensus of the Primordial World.
Unexpectedly, Taiwei was an even greater master.
First, it awakened spirits for all things, and then it enfeoffed a group of gods.
These feats were bigger than the last.
Now the gods in all parts of the Primordial World must be restless, wanting to go to heaven to play.
Zhu Rong felt the restless emotions of the Primordial Gods, and he grinned and said: "You say, since the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor is recruiting sages, should we go to heaven and try?"
"Maybe we can mix into a position of Friend Friend Yinghuo!"
The group of Ancestral Wu nodded: "This can really be considered."
"It's just that I don't know what Taiwei's enfeoffment standard is?"
Di Jiang said: "We can wait."
"That..."
Xuan Ming asked: "Aren't we on the side of the Immortal Path?"
"Thinking about going to heaven now, isn't it good?"
Hou Tu smiled: "The one cooperating with the Immortal Path is the Wu Shen organization; what does it have to do with us thirteen Ancestral Wu of the Great Pangu Hall?"
At this moment, they were sitting in a great hall.
The hall's name: Great Pangu!
Mount Yushan.
An old Daoist sat upright.
Above his head, the Creation Jade Plate floated, three thousand laws intertwined like divine chains, three thousand Great Dao long rivers surged, and three thousand worlds floated behind him.
As the last gap in the jade plate was repaired, the order of heaven and earth through the ages seemed to have been further perfected at this moment, and endless time was frozen.
A kind-faced Daoist smiled and watched the clouds rise and fall at the horizon; a black-robed Daoist had a fierce look in his eyes, as if he were in endless darkness; another Daoist was expressionless, always so indifferent, as if nothing could move his heart.
Hongjun smiled and looked at the three Daoists, bowing: "Three Daoist friends, please!"
"Congratulations, Main Body!" The three Daoists stood up and returned the salute, then walked toward Hongjun and merged with him.
Rolling purple energy surged from east to west between heaven and earth, sweeping across the world to form a tide that covered the sky.
Infinite heavenly flowers fell from the heavy high heavens, and endless golden lotuses grew from the vast earth.
The vast sun and the bright moon retreated at this moment; the myriad stars illuminating the three thousand great worlds dimmed at this moment.
The misty atmosphere filled the mountains and rivers, the vast power suppressed the void, the Dao rules of the universe filled the world, and the Great Law of Heaven and Earth shone with its own brilliance.
"Old Daoist, did you succeed?" Friend Yang Mei was overjoyed.
"Almost, almost."
Hongjun restrained his smile and sighed slightly, looking toward the heavens: "I want to merge with the Dao, but I found that if the Heavenly Dao is not complete, I cannot walk the final path."
"Then what should be done?" Friend Yang Mei was worried.
Recently, Taiwei had been moving frequently, and its big moves were one after another.
If there was no absolute power suppression, he himself would not be optimistic about the future of the Dao Alliance.
Especially the implementation of this Investiture of the Gods plan.
The Heavenly Emperor governing the Primordial World together with the sages and creating a new era—this temptation was too great.
Many gods were moved.
Following this trend, the advantage that the Immortal Path had just accumulated would soon vanish.
"No way, I can only patch the sky!" Hongjun's eyes were deep.
"Patch the sky?"
"Right! Patch the Heavenly Dao!"
Hongjun immediately launched a plan—Heaven and Earth Contract!
"Using the Creation Jade Plate as a carrier, persuade the sacred beings of the heavens to sign a Heaven and Earth Contract with the Heavenly Dao."
"Announce that one's own Dao is merged into the three thousand Great Daos of the Heavenly Dao; this is the Heavenly Contract."
"Announce that the cave heavens and blessed lands are included in the Dao Alliance forces; this is the Earthly Agreement."
"The Great Dao cultivated by the sacred beings can complete the three thousand Great Daos of the Heavenly Dao, and the cave heavens and blessed lands they inhabit are all created by Great Pangu's creation, which itself contains a unique Great Dao, and can also complete the Heavenly Dao."
"As a reward, the Dao Alliance will protect the sacred beings who join, and the Great Dao contained in the Heavenly Dao will also be opened to them to help them comprehend the Dao."
"Heavenly and Earthly authority is shared with them; the more the sacred beings comprehend the Dao, the more perfect the Heavenly Dao becomes."
"The best of both worlds, complementing each other."
"Can it be done like this?" Friend Yang Mei's eyes lit up.
Hongjun nodded and said: "Our actions must be fast."
"If I'm not mistaken, Taiwei's Investiture of the Gods plan and our plan are likely to reach the same goal by different routes."
"Good, I'll go discuss it with Friend Lady Jin Mu and the others!" Friend Yang Mei turned around and was about to leave.
"Slow!"
Hongjun said: "You stay, I'll go."
Friend Yang Mei gave a puzzled expression.
He felt a bit guilty in his heart.
【Could it be that my secret communication with Taiwei has been discovered?】
However, Hongjun's expression was as usual.
He just said: "Although I didn't walk the final step in this retreat, it was not without gains."
"This is the latest result of the Three Corpses Severing the Dao; you comprehend it and strive for a breakthrough!"
Hongjun handed half of the Creation Jade Plate to Friend Yang Mei.
Friend Yang Mei's tense mind relaxed.
"Good, I won't be polite with you."
Hongjun smiled: "We have supported each other until now, why be so polite?"
"Hmm!"
Friend Yang Mei nodded gloomily, comprehending the Dao with the help of the Creation Jade Plate, and sat down in meditation.
Soon, a mysterious and mysterious aura spread out.
"Not bad, not bad."
Seeing his old friend enter the state so quickly, Hongjun was all smiles.
Then he turned around, left Mount Yushan, and came to the first cave heaven and blessed land.
"Heaven and Earth Contract?"
The Ancestral Wu who were waiting for a chance to go to heaven were visited by Hongjun.
The thirteen Ancestral Wu looked at Hongjun and then at the terms in the contract.
It seemed there was no problem.
The Ancestral Wu hesitated: "Uh... it's not impossible."
Seeing the Ancestral Wu agree, Hongjun smiled sincerely: "To be recognized by the Great Pangu Clan, this poor Daoist is very comforted!"
Boom!!
Hongjun's words were like a thunderclap exploding in the ears of the thirteen Ancestral Wu.
"Great Pangu Clan?"
The Ancestral Wu looked at the void; it was calm.
No Great Pangu Axe fell from the sky.
They looked at Hongjun again: "Daoist friend, what do you mean by this?"
"Of course, it's the literal meaning."
Hongjun took back the contract, shared the authority of the thirteen Great Daos, and bowed: "Thank you, Daoist friends, this poor Daoist won't disturb you anymore."
"Farewell!"
Hongjun came fast and left fast.
Only the Ancestral Wu, with uncertain expressions, put away their respective divine weapons.
"This old Daoist has some tricks!"
