Chapter 782 The Holy King's Heir Visits
Looking at the soldiers leaving, Chu Tai raised his hand and stroked them gently, disrupting their memories and sending them to the corresponding places.

At the same time, Chu Tai left behind several heavenly generals to guard them, and based on them, he established his own Shinto beliefs in some places in the Northern Wilderness.

"Master, you are so merciful. These soldiers took up arms against you, yet you are willing to give them a chance to live."

The vigil watched the disappearing soldiers, then sighed slightly as he looked back at Chu Tai.

"When two armies clash, it is the soldiers' duty to kill the enemy, but after the war, they can also be our subjects. At this time, we should arrange them in a suitable place. Besides, they have witnessed my power and are very good believers. If they are handled properly, it will be of great benefit to the subsequent promotion of the Northern Wilderness Divine Way."

Chu Tai's answer made Shi Huajin nod his head: "This is a very good saying. These soldiers have been trained and their spirits are much stronger than ordinary people. If they are guided well, they can be the guardians of the gods and the soldiers of the immortals to protect the area. If we advance steadily in the future, we will not be without a foundation in the Northern Wilderness."

While several people were communicating, wisps of rosy clouds surged, and a celestial being appeared in front of the cloud chariot.

He has a handsome appearance and wears a white Taoist robe with cloud patterns. What concerns people most is that the aura flowing from him is pure Taiyi Xianmen. Shi Huajin's eyes widened.

"Is there a fourth-grade celestial being from my Taiyi lineage in the Northern Wilds?"

Shang Zhu could not help but speak, and the celestial being opposite him had already bowed and said, "Taoist Yunyuan of the Taiyi Zhuanzhou lineage greets Taoist Taining, the head of the Jinhua lineage."

Chu Tai stared at the other person for a long time, and whispered: "Since you are a fellow from the Zhuanzhou lineage, please come in."

As he spoke, the celestial maidens around him dispersed, and a cloud road appeared under the other person's feet.

Walking in front of Chu Tai, clear light fell down, layer upon layer, as if thousands of layers of gauze covered the two of them.

Shi Huajin frowned slightly, but still stopped the three junior brothers and sisters beside him and said, "The master has great cultivation, so he must have his own plans."

In the clear light, Chu Tai looked at Taoist Yunyuan and said softly, "Should I call you Taoist friend as a member of the Taiyi lineage, or should I call you Royal Brother as a member of the Saint King Avenue?"

"Although my original body inherited the legacy of the Saint King, I am now the successor of the Zhuanzhou lineage of the Taiyi Immortal Sect. Fellow Daoist Taining, you can just call me Yunyuan."

The Taoist's answer made Chu Tai feel a little regretful: "It seems that you don't think highly of me. Otherwise, you should let me choose."

Yun Yuan bowed and said, "It's not that I look down on you, fellow Daoist, but we can no longer bear the consumption. Since the destruction of the Holy Nation, seven out of ten of our companions have died in the Holy King Avenue. We have exhausted all our energy just to protect our own little piece of land. We are really powerless to support you and save lives."

"So what is your purpose for coming here?"

Chu Tai looked at the other person and didn't believe what he said at all. If he was really powerless, he wouldn't appear in front of him at this moment.

"Although we are unable to provide assistance at the third level, we are one of the heirs of the Saint King Avenue after all. We have some power in the Northern Wilderness, Southern Border, and Western Regions, and can help you solve some problems. As for the purpose..."

Taoist Yunyuan looked towards the Central Plains and said, "I hope you can completely destroy the traces left by the Saint King Avenue."

"are you serious?"

Chu Tai looked at the Taoist Yunyuan in front of him, and through him saw a certain successor to the Saint King's Avenue in the Central Plains who had reached the third level of realm by relying on the Saint King's Avenue, was in charge of a cave, and maintained the livelihoods of tens of millions of people.

The other party seemed to sense Chu Tai's gaze as well. He looked back and opened his mouth slightly. Taoist Yunyuan said synchronously: "The ending of the Holy Kingdom has already told us that mild reforms are of no use to the Holy King Avenue."

"Even if you can suppress them, when they are in danger, they will still choose to let you die and then eat your remains to gain more power."

"The remnants of the Saint King Avenue have now become a cage that prevents all living beings from making further progress. If we want to liberate all living beings, we have to destroy it completely."

Chu Tai looked at the other person: "What about you?"

"Me? I can't protect all living beings, I can't continue the Saint King's ideals, and I can't uphold morality. When you destroy the Saint King's avenue, I will cover my face with my hair and die in the cave."

Taoist Yunyuan looked at Chu Tai, the emotion in his eyes was very calm and resolute.

Chu Tai sighed and said, "According to what you said, it's not easy for you to protect someone in that environment. You don't have to be so determined..."

"No, being able to protect the creatures in a cave is not my ability, but they need a successor to the Saint King Avenue to retain absolute ruling power over the cave, so as to maintain our power corresponding to the Saint King Avenue."

"At the same time, we are able to maintain a certain amount of power outside to ensure that the Saint King Avenues we correspond to still have influence outside, and to ensure that the connections between the Saint King Avenues are close enough and the power is strong enough."

When Yun Yuan said this, his eyes were still calm, but his words did not save face for himself at all: "Therefore, I only survived by relying on the characteristics of the Saint King Avenue. What I did was to release a pig, no, I can't insult the pig, I should say I can put a corpse up, and I can do it."

“But didn’t they do it?”

Chu Tai asked back, and was about to continue persuading him, but Yun Yuan waved his hand and said, "Put my question aside for now. These things are the forces we left in various places. Before we have any problems, they may suppress these forces, but they will not completely withdraw them. You should take them over as soon as possible."

Looking at the information handed over by the other party, Chu Tai frowned slightly.

"According to what you said before, since these forces are all known, and they have surrendered to me, I think the other heirs of the Saint King Avenue will know that you have betrayed them. Is that really okay?"

"It's okay? Unless they want to reduce the power of Saint King Avenue, there won't be any major problems in the short term. As for wanting to attack us, the prerequisite is that they can find a more suitable successor, otherwise the most they can do is limit our power."

As he spoke, Yun Yuan smiled at Chu Tai and said, "Besides, you are also recognized by the Saint Kings. You can be regarded as the successor of the Saint King Avenue. According to the rules left by the Saint Kings, you are qualified to fight for the power of the Central Plains and establish your dynasty. In this process, our forces joining you can be regarded as an advance investment. As your power expands, the blessings we receive will also increase, and it will be even more difficult for them to take action."

While speaking, the other party handed over a few marks and whispered, "If they find other means to kill us, these marks will be of some use."

Chu Tai took it and looked at it, and found that they were several royal seals, symbolizing the inheritance rights of several Holy King Avenues.

With this thing, theoretically speaking, Chu Tai could try to tear apart the Holy King Avenue mastered by those people.

He looked at Taoist Yunyuan and was a little confused about his thoughts, but he also saw that he really had no other power to help him. As if seeing Chu Tai's doubts, Yunyuan chuckled and said, "This is all we can do. The follow-up depends on you."

After saying that, he bowed again, and then some of the divine light in his eyes dissipated. It turned out that the other party had completely destroyed his control over this incarnation and handed it over to Chu Tai.

With a sigh, Chu Tai refined the mark while digesting the information given to him by the other party, and then controlled the incarnation to go to some places in the Northern Wilderness first to summon more people to gather together.

At the same time, Yun Zhongjun's incarnation also used his identity as the Secret Treasure Master to gather many immortal monks together.

The layers of cloud light blended together to form a huge square, where hundreds of fifth-grade cultivators and a dozen fourth-grade celestial beings gathered.

Everyone exchanged the information they had with each other and explored the future of the Northern Wilderness.

A cultivator in a green Taoist robe spoke first: "This Taoist Taining is really powerful. Along the way, he has successively destroyed seven marquis inheritances, destroyed four armies, and cleared countless obstacles. Is there anyone in the Northern Wilderness who can stop him?"

The cultivator in the red robe laughed and said, "Stop it? Unless a third-rank immortal takes action, how can he stop it? And whose cloud chariot is he riding now? Which immortal dares to take action?"

The monk in yellow robe asked, "Then Zhongyuan can't say anything?"
"How did they do it? You and I are both aware that the power of the Central Plains Dynasty, those who can enter the third rank are basically the inheritors of the Saint King Avenue, or those who barely step into the third rank with the help of human power. And you have seen what happened to this kind of third rank cultivator when they faced this Taoist Taining?"

In response to the red-robed monk's question, the yellow-robed monk sighed.

"Great Sima! I didn't expect that this ability to seduce souls and shorten lifespans would also work on third-grade cultivators. With such a powerful weapon, Taoist Taining didn't even need to discuss it with us. How could we go against his philosophy?"

Hearing this, another man dressed in luxurious clothes, who should be the leader of a certain sect, sneered and said, "Come on, do you really think we are here today to discuss the future of Northern Wilderness with Taining? Why do you choose to gather here at this time?"

"February 2, the Dragon raises its head. Any questions?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the sect laughed again and said, "The temple built by Taoist Taining is the Dongyue Temple. On the second day of the second month, the dragon raises its head, which happens to be the time when the power of the Seven Stars in the East rises. They can also take this opportunity to guide the order of the Eastern Shinto and invade the north along with the yang and warm energy of the dragon raising its head."

"You said, when the seniors above sense the erosion of the Shinto order, will they welcome it or stop it?"

"And once they welcome us, can we still stop them later?"

After hearing this, the green-robed, red-robed, and yellow-robed Taoists who had spoken earlier fell silent, and many of the other cultivators also sighed inwardly.

In fact, they also knew that there was no chance for them to interrupt the party, and they only had two choices.

One is to follow the general trend and cooperate with Chu Tai to revive the Shinto in the Northern Wilderness to fight against the Central Plains Dynasty and the representatives of the successors of the Saint King Avenue.

The other option is to abandon all current resources outside the mountain gate, choose to seek the talisman from the True Lord, close the mountain gate, and ignore external affairs.

Those who would choose the latter obviously would not appear here, so everyone's choice had actually been made long ago.

It's just that the name of the party sounds nice, and it seems to give everyone the right to choose.

Just when everyone was in a low mood, Chu Tai also came riding on a cloud chariot.

Just as the headmaster said, Chu Tai's timing of arrival was very good, just when the dragon's aura was rising most obviously.

Wisps of warm and yang energy descended, bringing with them the Shinto order.

Led by Yun Zhongjun and Taoist Yunyuan, more than a dozen celestial beings came forward to welcome Chu Tai, combining the Shinto order with the Northern Wilderness Immortal Way.

The whole process went very smoothly without any obstacles.

At the same time, the immortal monks who had sighed earlier also released their own aura and destiny to make them compatible with the falling aura of Dongyue Divine Court.

During this process, several immortal monks looked at each other and showed expressions that showed "as expected".

However, the three cultivators in green robe, red robe and yellow robe who spoke first were a little slow. Looking at the sect leader who seemed to have some opinions about Chu Tai, he actually put all the luck of his own sect into the divine way and let several heavenly generals fall into his own sect.

These cultivators knew what the other party was thinking, and they all took the initiative to join the Dongyue Divine Way.

Taoist Yunyuan and the incarnation of Yun Zhongjun, who were observing all this silently, nodded, and then brought a dozen celestial beings to communicate with Chu Tai, briefly expressing the needs of each sect.

Chu Tai also said that he did not intend to deprive the various immortal sects of their status, but at the same time said that human beings should have their own living space.

"The human world will continue to establish countries and order in various places. You immortals can protect a place, but you cannot easily affect the development of humanity. Instead, you should serve as a backup to supervise humanity and supervise the gods of Shinto to prevent them from crossing the line."

This is Chu Tai's governance philosophy. Humanity should still be left to humanity, but in order to prevent the reappearance of those crazy blood-sucking individuals, those in high positions in humanity must accept the supervision of immortals and gods.

Although the immortal way and the divine way are beyond the human way, Chu Tai left some restrictions on the divine way, so that the subsequent existence of gods would be bound to all living beings to a certain extent, thereby increasing the resistance of the human way to the immortal way.

Of course, from a certain perspective, Chu Tai's binding of some gods and humanity also reduced the extraordinary power possessed by humanity itself, reduced the power that high-level beings could wield, and reduced possible oppression.

After speaking of his own ideas, Chu Tai asked everyone for their opinions.

Moreover, he directly asked for everyone's opinions. While asking, Chu Tai's Tao fruit was revealed, projecting his own emotions into everyone's hearts, showing that he was asking sincerely, not falsely seeking opinions.

This move stunned many immortal cultivators for a while. Even some of them who had already joined the incarnation of Yun Zhongjun, or were the forces brought by Taoist Yun Yuan, did not expect that Chu Tai would actually ask them questions.

But Chu Tai's move undoubtedly made many people feel more involved and identified with the future of Northern Wilderness. Bits of destiny that had not been manifested before began to gather around Chu Tai.
