Chapter 761: Sacrifice to the Gods

Shao Siming's actions effectively intimidated many fourth-grade celestial beings present.

However, Xu Xiangxian, who did not bring any juniors with him, noticed something wrong. He stared at the clouds above the juniors' heads. While the wisps of fate took shape, some spiritual light also gathered in a certain direction, like clouds gathering, or like rivers flowing into the ocean.

But before I could take a closer look, the spiritual light disappeared.

Xu Xiangxian was secretly alert as he watched Shao Siming arrange the many monks who had condensed complete Shinto scriptures or corresponding treasures into their positions.

Afterwards, those monks who had condensed the incomplete scriptures were arranged to go to some mountain gods, water gods, and city gods for assistance.

If these monks look down on the positions and are unwilling to go, Shao Siming also said that they can leave on their own as long as they do not commit any evil in the future.

A celestial being was somewhat puzzled by this and said, "Fellow Daoist Shao Siming, you spent a lot of effort to sort out the foundation for them and summarize the methods, but you just let them leave like this. If they commit sins in the future, the new divine way will inevitably be criticized, and even some of its fate will be implicated."

“It’s not a big deal.”

Shao Siming smiled and said, "They have obtained the Shinto method, so it's fine if they don't practice it. Once they practice, they will be connected with Shinto and leave their names with the Great Siming. Once they do evil, they will attract the attention of gods from all over the world, and there will be gods wandering day and night, and heavenly soldiers and strong men to suppress them. If they practice outside the East, I will also be able to sense it, so I can ask Brother Yu to go and solve it."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Yu glanced at the celestial being who asked the question. His eyes were calm, but they made the other person stiffen. He chuckled twice and stopped talking.

Compared to those who failed to be selected and left, Xiling cared more about those who entered the Dongyue Divine Court.

"Fellow Daoist Shao Siming, is the supervision of these new monks also handled by the Great Siming... His Highness?"

When talking about the Great Sima Ming, Xi Ling paused obviously. She wanted to call the other party "fellow Taoist", but was concerned that the other party had reached the third rank. She wanted to call the other party "senior", but was embarrassed because she knew that the other party was the incarnation of Chu Tai. Finally, she chose to call the other party "Your Highness" in the identity of a god.

Shao Siming smiled when she heard that. She had a very good impression of Xiling. On the one hand, Xiling was practicing Shintoism, and on the other hand, she maintained the climate of Xuanzhou and brought vitality to the earth.

It can be said that Xiling's priesthood overlaps and complements Shao Siming's in some aspects. If she were to take up the job, much of Shao Siming's work could be divided up, so she would naturally be happy to share some not-so-secret information with him, and her tone would be more intimate.

"If this matter is handed over to the Great God of Destiny, he will be furious. You know, after the catastrophe some time ago, the chaotic causes and conditions of life and death in various places have already kept him busy. If it weren't for those monks who left, it would be easy to interfere with the life and death of residents in various places. He is not willing to take over this matter."

Having said that, Shao Siming narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he thought of something interesting.

Taoist Yu next to him lowered his head, thought for a while, and soon guessed that Shao Siming was recalling the scene where Da Siming rushed to the top of Mount Tai with the Mountain-Driving Bell and confronted Chu Tai.

Taoist Yu actually couldn't understand what was fun about this matter, so after pondering for a while, he didn't answer. Instead, his expression and actions made many people who were paying attention to him think that there was some hidden story behind this, and some even speculated whether there was factional division within the Dongyue Divine Court.

Shao Siming, who had never expected these people to think of this aspect, continued to tell Xiling about some of the systems of the Dongyue Divine Court.

"For these juniors who have joined the Shinto, oh, yes, including you who will join the Shinto in the future, the one who supervises us is He Bo."

"He Bo?"

Xi Ling frowned slightly, as if she couldn't understand why it was He Bo. Xu Xiangxian, who was standing next to her, recalled the scene he had seen before.

Shao Siming saw Xi Ling's confusion and said bluntly: "It will take a while to explain this clearly. You will understand it when you meet Chu Tai."

Having said that, Shao Siming took all the celestial beings to another palace to rest.

On the second day, several fourth-grade celestial beings arrived and held a test and induction meeting for the fifth- and sixth-grade cultivators. Then Shao Siming brought more than a dozen fourth-grade celestial beings to the top of Mount Tai.

As soon as they walked in, Xiling, Xu Xiangxian and other celestial beings felt that the embryonic forms of their own Tao fruits were operating slowly, and the Taoist laws and principles around them became heavy. Looking carefully, they saw a huge tripod standing on the top of Mount Tai, in which the luck of humans, gods, immortals, witches and part of Buddhism converged and turned into a beam of light that went straight into the sky.

At the same time, the terrifying laws and principles of Taoism were operating in the big cauldron, and under the operation of many destiny, it turned into a small flag.

On top of the small flag is an ancient sacred bell. On the bell face are many Shinto scriptures and changes in sacrificial rituals and music. At this moment, a piece of text fell.

"The ceremony is completed with drums, and the music is passed on... It will last forever."

It was the special series of poems "Li Hun" in Chu Tai's memory with the Nine Songs Gods.

At this moment, Chu Tai integrated it into the small banner, intending to forge it into a sacred treasure of the current Dongyue Divine Court.

With the integration of "Ritual Soul", the small flag trembled slightly, and countless cloud symbols and divine seals with bright light appeared and disappeared, performing hundreds of billions of changes, and many divine auras emerged in it.

Xiling immediately felt the aura of Mingqiong, Siming, Yeguang and Liu Huisu, which corresponded to a certain cloud talisman divine seal.

Sensing the meaning of "Li Hun" in worshiping the gods and the sacrificial rituals to send off the gods, she vaguely guessed that this should be a means of supervision.

And Chu Tai's subsequent words confirmed her guess.

"I am delighted that you are willing to come and help. Dongyue Divine Court also welcomes all Taoist friends who are willing to practice the way of God. However, order cannot be established without rules. I still have to say some ugly words in advance. When you accept the position of God, you must accept the constraints of the divine law and leave your own mark on this ritual soul flag."

As he spoke, Chu Tai stretched out his hand and lightly tapped. Names immediately appeared on the Soul Liturgy Banner, emitting many rays of light. The layers of divine light kept spinning, and inside were performed the underworld, the mortal world, the earth, the sky, as well as the underworld land palace, the rivers and water palace, the magnificent scenery of the heavenly palace, and so on. And those names, relying on these strange visions, manifested as people, sitting in the middle of them.

"I think you all have seen that the essence of the Godhood is still between heaven and earth. You have left your mark, but you have settled in a place. You are not restricted by me. It is just convenient for me to find your whereabouts later. Of course, if you are willing to completely turn to Godhood, I will also provide a way to occupy the authority of a piece of heaven and earth, but the relevant price is not just leaving a mark."

Upon hearing this, all the celestial beings nodded in understanding.

Among them, Xi Ling, who had been working in the divine way for a long time, asked directly: "May I ask, fellow Taoist, if I enter your divine court, can I take charge of the authority of the Sun?"

Chu Tai looked back and said bluntly, "If you are willing to join the Divine Court, I can give you the job of managing the daylight. But I am powerless to control the Great Sun. Now the Dongyue Divine Court can only control the East Land, part of the East China Sea, and parts of the South Border and North Desert near the East Land. It does not occupy the entire Shenzhou, let alone the Great East Heaven, so it is difficult to provide the Great Sun authority."

"The closest authority should be the work of differentiating sunlight on the Thousand Light Layer, that is, the right to handle the innate and true purple yang qi that falls on the East every day, as well as partial control over the yang-attributed Dao laws and principles in various parts of the East."
