Donghuang Ziji

Chapter 759: Donghuang Zun, the Lord of Life and Death

On Mount Tai, Chu Tai felt something the moment cultivators from all over the place gathered together. He picked up the golden bell hammer and struck the Donghuang Bell.

The sound of bells echoed in all directions. All the cultivators in the East knew Chu Tai's meaning and understood his invitation. They also felt a kind of deterrence hidden in the dark, warning them not to easily disrupt the order of the East.

"You are just a young man born for the times. How can you be so overbearing? Do you really think you are the Emperor of Heaven?"

A man in a dark Taoist robe and with his hair tied in a bun snorted coldly as he heard the bell sounds echoing around him.

His whole body is filled with vast and clear energy, and within the clouds above his head are rolling waves. He is constantly absorbing the vital energy and spiritual power from the surroundings to stabilize his own state and make his magic power more in line with the laws and principles of the East.

The people who were traveling with him also had the sound of tides surging around them, and the clear and bright precious light kept rolling and blending with the principles around them. He spoke to comfort them, "Daoyou Lu, this place is the East Land of Shenzhou, not our Morning Land Fairyland. This place is dominated by people, not our fairy way. This Lord of Dongyue occupies the sovereignty, and we are here for cooperation, so please don't break the etiquette."

"We immortals are naturally willing to maintain order, but this time it's not just us immortals who are here. Some demons may have taken the opportunity to sneak in. I just don't know... huh?"

Taoist Lu was halfway through his words when he felt the bell ring again, followed by a Netherworld aura sweeping past and at the same time, several demonic energies rushing up. Their aura was so powerful that they were considered top-notch among the fourth-grade celestial beings.

But as soon as they became airborne, they were deprived of their lifespans by the aura of the Netherworld. At the sound of the subsequent bell, their bodies disintegrated, leaving only a little soul that returned to the underworld.

Taoist Lu and his companion exchanged a glance and stopped talking instantly. The strange phenomenon of the vital energy circulating in their bodies also became much smaller.

Similar to Taoist Lu are Xiling, Chang Si, Mingqiong and Siming from Chengtu Xuanzhou's Daguanming Palace, and Yeguang and Liu Huisu from Guanghan Palace.

Among them, Ming Qiong, Siming, Ye Guang and Liu Huisu only heard the sound of the bell, while Xiling and Chang Su felt that Chu Tai instantly killed several fourth-grade demon gods.

Chang Su could not help but sigh: "Such a strong murderous aura, such a powerful method, Daoist friend, can you see the secret of this method of depriving life span from a distance?"

Xi Ling, who was being questioned, thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be a way of applying some kind of underworld god's authority, but it can exert its power from a distance, so it must have borrowed the power of some treasures. For many people, this is an effective way to show power."

As she said this, Xiling looked around.

As one of the few people who has made some achievements in practicing the way of immortals, Xiling is revered by many people in Xuanzhou as Madam Xuchu's Mighty Light and Virtue. She can see many interesting things with the help of sunlight.

For example, before the bell rang, many foreign celestial beings showed their existence. Most of them came here and communicated with the outside world frantically, allowing their own vital energy to communicate with the outside world, stirring up the changes in the vital energy of the place, causing a certain turbulence in the celestial layer and even the thousand light layer in that area, affecting the future wind, rain, frost and snow.

But after the bell rang, the noises became much smaller, and one or two of them even helped to sort out the changes in the surrounding vital energy while sorting out their own breath.

Chang Su, who also noticed something, sneered and said, "One or two of you, do you regard this place as your own dojo? Even if we are in Xuanzhou, which is covered with ice and snow all year round and all living beings rely on us and respect us, we shouldn't be like this. I saw that many people had pure auras and practiced the magic of immortals at that time, why are they like this?"

"Xintuyangzhou is located in the due east, below the easternmost point, and is the most prosperous place for immortals. Such scum should not appear there. They must be cultivators from the southeastern Chentuxianzhou. I heard some news about that place in my early years. It is said that the status of cultivators there is extremely high, and at the same time, the competition is fierce, and there are signs of moral decline. I don't know what the situation is now."

While Xi Ling was answering, she suddenly turned around and looked at the ground, saying: "Since you are here, why don't you show up, fellow Taoist?"

"I am Xu Xiangxian, a monk from Limo Mountain. Nice to meet you two fellow Taoists."

"Limo Mountain?"

Chang Su smiled and said, "I didn't expect that we would meet you when we were talking about Dongji. Are you here for the Lord of Dongyue as well?"

"It is for that person that my cultivation method involves the rotation of the four seasons and the changes of the four symbols. I want to seek a deity position to facilitate my cultivation."

While Xu Xiangxian was answering, Xiling also used the method of sound transmission to explain the relationship between Li Mo and Dong Ji to the other companions.

'In the ancient past, there were three mountains in the East Pole, namely, the East Pole Divine Mountain, Juling Yutian and Limo Divine Mountain. Later, as Datian expanded, the three mountains of East Pole merged, leaving only the name of East Pole. However, some monks still call East Pole Juling Divine Mountain, Juling Yutian and Limo Divine Mountain.'

'The same situation also exists in the other three poles. The western pole is also called Sun Moon Mountain, Tianshu Mountain, and Wuji Tianmen. The southern pole is Quya Mountain, and the northern pole is Tiangui Mountain and Beiji Tianshu.'

After quickly introducing the four poles, Xiling also invited Xu Xiangxian to go to Dongyue together.

Xu Xiangxian, who was alone, naturally would not refuse. The group rode on the cloud light and headed towards Dongyue. The closer they got, the more monks they saw. Some of them rode white cranes, some turned into flowing light, some rode on blue clouds, and some drove magic weapons.

As they gathered, many immortal energies continued to fill Mount Dongyue, causing many strange phenomena to emerge.

So much so that before the group even reached Mount Dongyue, they could already feel some divine power flowing in the air. Streams of incense and vows gathered from all directions and transformed into a cloud of auspiciousness covering it. The many immortal fortunes within it were like dragons and giant pythons, rolling in the sea of ​​clouds of vows and vows.

The collision of many wishes vaguely revealed endless beautiful scenery, wonderful lands, and palaces, with golden lanterns floating, flowers blooming from the ceiling, necklaces hanging, and jade dew spreading everywhere.

There were also many heavenly soldiers and generals standing among them. They were all wearing golden armor, had dignified expressions, held weapons in their hands, and guarded the area.

The auras blended with each other, driving the changes in their willpower, forming ripples that rippled behind their heads, like the halo of a god, inspiring awe.

Of course, most of these heavenly soldiers and generals were derived from Chu Tai's Taoist system by using his willpower as a carrier and the magical talisman of the Jade Emperor of Hunyuan. The power of the Taoist fruit fragments they carry are mostly seventh-grade [divine soldiers] and sixth-grade [heavenly generals]. When converted to the ninth-grade cultivation system, they are the power of some sixth-grade cultivators and cannot be taken seriously by fourth-grade cultivators.

But after Xiling saw this group of heavenly soldiers, she sighed: "With this kind of Taoist means, the Lord of Dongyue is able to deal with many problems."

In Xiling's eyes, although the power of these heavenly soldiers and generals is not strong, each of them is a node for transmitting power.

She could feel that there was an almost infinite power in Dongyue, which penetrated all ten directions of the East, unfolding and falling layer by layer to form a large formation covering the East.

These heavenly soldiers act as nodes and can mobilize the power of the formation to a certain extent. When their number reaches a certain level, they can blockade the formation from four levels: material, spiritual, energy, and legal. Even a fourth-rank celestial being may not be able to please them when they encounter them.

Of course, through the life forms of these heavenly soldiers and the environment around Dongyue, everyone can see that the Lord of Dongyue, who holds the sovereignty of the East, not only controls the power of the underworld, but is also quite good at creation. In the heyday of Shintoism, he can be said to be a great god in charge of life and death.

After a few people came forward and stated their purpose, they were led into a palace.

Shao Siming, holding a purple bamboo branch, sat in the middle. Taoist Yu followed behind her. When he saw Si Ming and Liu Huisu, his eyes lit up slightly, but he did not say anything. Instead, he communicated with the leaders Xiling, Chang Su and Xu Xiangxian.

"You three have reached the level of celestial beings, and you are extraordinary. If you are willing to join my Dongyue Divine Court, you will be granted a high position. However, this promotion requires Chu Tai to come in person. As for the cultivators who are traveling with you, you can look for suitable divine positions in advance. I wonder if you are willing to join the cultivators who are about to join?"

Xiling and Chang Su did not refuse and expressed their desire to watch.

Shao Siming nodded and said, "This is common sense."

As he spoke, he brought a few people to the edge of the palace.

At this time, there were already hundreds of people gathered here, most of whom had only the sixth level of cultivation, a few had reached the fifth level, and there were even a few who were at the seventh level.

They were sitting upright on the ground, and when they saw Shao Siming come in, they hurriedly stood up and saluted.

After Shao Siming nodded in return, he asked Mingqiong, Siming, Yeguang and Liu Huisu to take their seats. He then summoned a heavenly soldier and asked him to invite the several fourth-rank celestial beings who had brought the younger generation here first.

After a while, several fourth-rank celestial beings arrived. After they saluted each other, Shao Siming waved a purple bamboo branch, and red lines flew and fell on the heads of the monks sitting below, absorbing a wisp of their breath.

Shao Siming straightened his clothes, bowed in the direction of Donghuang Bell and Tianren Ding, and said: "I sincerely pay homage to you... Great compassion, great vows, great saint, great mercy. Tongyou Siming, Shaoyang Creator, Donghuang Supreme Honored!"

The next moment, an extremely majestic aura diffused, followed by natural, bright, warm, deep, vital, deadly, mysterious and other auras.

"This is……"

The expressions of all the fourth-grade celestial beings present changed slightly. They could see that these auras were essentially wonderful Qi that started from the fourth grade.

The Qi of purple, blue and green essence, the Qi of Taixia flying light, the Qi of Xuanyan Biaoxiang, the wonderful Qi of Taiyi Five Elements Elite, the wonderful Qi of Dafen Fire Essence Burning the Sky, the wonderful Qi of Taiyi Hanzhen Qianyuan, and so on, were constantly changing and blending above everyone's heads, resonating with their Qi, crisscrossing, forming cloud patterns, and splicing together into some kind of scripture.
