Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 367 Perfection, Enlightening the Star Sea

Yang Huai led some of the disciples of the Shangqing Daoist lineage back to the Ziwei Imperial Palace.

This includes Duobao, Wudang Shengmu, and two other newly recruited disciples of Shangqing, as well as some outer disciples who passed through the Thousand Illusions Reincarnation Array, totaling dozens of people.

Fortunately, the Zhou Tian Star Sea was vast, and he had many star gods under his command. After dividing them into several teams and assigning them to those star god squads, Yang Huai began his own plan.

On one hand, he summoned Daoist Ran Deng and many Yuqing disciples, including nearly a thousand outer disciples and registered disciples under his own sect, and announced that the Arctic Law Academy would be improved. He told all disciples to be cautious in their actions in the future and not to do anything that would disgrace their sect.

To this end, he established several Northern Emperor laws, which stipulated that those who committed evil deeds and killed innocent people would be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

In addition, there are more than a dozen other precepts.

At best, they will be stripped of their divine status and banished to the cycle of reincarnation.

In severe cases, the disciple will be stripped of their status as a disciple of the Daoist lineage, their Daoist cultivation will be reduced, and they will be executed.

Forewarned is forearmed, without prejudging the waste.

Yang Huai was trying his best to prevent the great religion from decaying from its roots in the future.

Subsequently, Xuanfeng and Kong Xuan were appointed as the head and deputy head of the Arctic Law Academy, respectively.

One of them is the head disciple of the third generation of the Yuqing Daoist lineage, and the other is in charge of the outer sect as an inner disciple.

The emergence of numerous new Northern Emperor decrees quickly spread across the desolate lands through the Purple Palace, causing many Qi cultivators to tremble at the mere mention of them.

Meanwhile, many Qi cultivators also discovered that many Xuanmen sects of the Yuqing Dao lineage were beginning to have ordination ceremonies on the earth.

Once one's cultivation reaches a certain level, one can be granted the talisman of the Ziwei Imperial Palace in advance, and have one's immortal name displayed in the Ziwei Imperial Palace or the residence of the Antarctic Longevity Emperor. One can then ascend to the Heavenly Court and be granted various immortal decrees upon achieving success in one's cultivation.

The imperial edict, on the other hand, is linked to authority in the heavens and earth, as well as the treatment of various departments in the Heavenly Court.

There are clear distinctions regarding the ability of certain ranks to summon celestial beings to descend to earth for assistance, or even to summon an avatar of an emperor.

Everything happens subtly and gradually.

However, many ancient gods were able to perceive the changes.

After this round of reforms in the Xuanmen (mystical sect), the cohesion and centripetal force of all Xuanmen Qi practitioners have significantly increased.

Above the Heavenly Court, in the Palace of Emperor Xi.

Fuxi sat with his head bowed over his desk, with only the Hetu and Luoshu, two innate magical treasures, in front of him.

These two innate magical treasures, which were originally powerful enough to control the central hub of the Zhou Tian Starry Sky, are now completely useless.

"Taiweizi..."

He pondered to himself, glancing at the depths of the sky.

He had witnessed Xuanmen's major moves; after such a series of measures, Xuanmen had completely established itself in the Heavenly Court.

Of the four imperial courts, the Xuanmen sect occupies two positions, and it also possesses the Zhou Tian Xing Hai (a starry sky). This is not a good thing for the entire Heavenly Court.

However, his most important task at present is to overcome the current difficulties, quell the rebellious hearts of the gods, and stabilize the Heavenly Court before he can think of other solutions.

As he raised his hand, runes flowed through his palm, radiating a pure, tangible divine light.

Each rune is a manifestation of divine authority.

After nearly ten thousand years of study, he finally perfected the Heavenly Court's divine edict system.

Each divine decree represents a special acquired divine position, including some very important positions of authority.

These divine edicts are a huge supplement to the degenerated pantheon.

In the primordial era, there existed the way of the ancient gods.

When the post-heaven era arrives, corresponding divine phenomena will naturally emerge to complete the changes in the divine path.

He will use this to completely perfect the authority of all gods, take control of the ancestral energy of all gods, and reach new heights in his Taoist practice.

Strands of ancestral energy dissipated from his hand, and with a wave of his hand, the Hetu and Luoshu fell into his grasp, causing a smile to appear in his eyes.

The Heavenly Emperor Di Jun possesses a treasure mountain but is unaware of it.

The Hetu and Luoshu are considered treasures of heaven and earth, from which the authority of all stars, gods, and lands originates. Yet, they only condensed the authority of all stars and a portion of the authority of all gods, which is truly regrettable.

If he could condense the authority of all gods and all lands from it, how could he be so easily defeated by the gods?

It's possible that the Heavenly Demon Path has already reached its peak.

"With the Gods, my Nine Palaces Great Dao is now complete!"

Fuxi remained calm.

Soon after, a brand new divine decree was issued from the Heavenly Court.

At the same time, the Heavenly Court established six new departments of gods, namely the Department of Wealth, Department of War, Department of Fire, Department of Rain, Department of Thunder, Department of Plague, and so on.

Later, various departments were established in the Heavenly Court, such as the Tai Xuan Three Provinces, which were exclusively for the Heavenly Emperor, and the Three Officials and Five Emperors, who were responsible for medicine and hygiene in the world.

Among them are the Office of Destiny, which is responsible for managing the registers of gods and immortals in the Heavenly Court; the Hall of Childbirth and the Hall of Marriage, which are responsible for supervising marriages in the world; the Hall of Spirit Officials, a violent institution; the Office of Exorcism and the Office of Danger, which are in charge of the law; and the Office of Justice, which is responsible for law enforcement, and so on, with the establishment of positions such as the God of Justice.

Each divine decree corresponds to a different kind of authority.

The scale of the event was so great that it even overshadowed the changes in the lineage of Xuanmen Qi cultivators.

The gods also saw Fuxi's determination to make the Heavenly Court prosperous and strong from his many actions.

This attracted many powerful deities to come and serve.

Of course, these powerful ancient gods were more interested in the authority of each department.

As one of the Four Heavenly Emperors of the Heavenly Court, Yang Huai and the Antarctic Daoist both received a share of the new power.

In fact, that was already within the scope of his authority.

Inside the Purple Palace, Yang Huai gazed calmly at the portion of the Divine Edicts and the several tokens before him.

This time, Fuxi made quite a stir.

After this reform of the Heavenly Court, the Heavenly Court will completely end the major problem of the chaotic status of the gods in the previous period, and the power of the Heavenly Court will also be elevated to a new level.

"His Majesty Fuxi is still the same His Majesty Fuxi, full of ambition!"

He looked at the several tokens in front of him.

He was assigned to the Dipper Department, which represents the stars of the Heavenly Court, followed by the Spirit Official Hall, the Heavenly Court's Ministry of Justice, and the Four Stations (Jiaolong Station, Jinlong Station, Fenghuo Station, and Jinma Station), which represent directional authority.

The Four Stations were mainly used to deliver messages from the Heavenly Court or to manage the mounts of the gods.

Yang Huai actually felt that the Four Post Stations could be expanded.

It represents the authority of direction and path, and is not merely used to indicate the direction of heaven and earth and to convey messages to people.

With the authority to direct the direction, the future holds great promise. Yang Huai observed the Heavenly Court's actions but quietly cooperated.

Now, he and Xi Huang Palace keep to themselves, and the Four Emperors need to cooperate with the Heavenly Emperor in order for the Heavenly Court to prosper.

In the chaotic starry sea, within the Purple Star.

Yang Huai examined the changes deep within the Purple Star once more, and a smile appeared on his face.

Indeed, signs of life have emerged on the Ziwei Star.

From afar, more than twenty figures broke through the air and landed in front of Yang Huai in an instant.

"Master!"

"Big Brother!"

"Senior Brother Taiwei!"

Upon seeing Yang Huai, he immediately bowed slightly.

These twenty-odd figures included those from the Yuqing Daoist lineage and those from the Shangqing Daoist lineage.

Leading the group was Taiyi Daoist, followed by Xuanfeng Daoist, then Wudang Holy Mother, Guiling Holy Mother, and many other outer disciples of the two palaces.

Facing Yang Huai, everyone looked respectful.

For them, the person who can guide them into the path is the greatest benefactor in their lives, and Yang Huai is undoubtedly such a person. This is also true for many Yuqing disciples, who still benefit from the mutual aid association to this day.

The same applies to many disciples of the Shangqing Dao Palace.

Yang Huai looked at them and said.

"I have summoned you here because I have another mundane matter to entrust to you. You will have to wait and see!"

"Mundane affairs?"

The Taoist priests' expressions subtly shifted.

As Yang Huainian moved, he took out a gourd from his person.

Under the gaze of everyone.

He casually poured some seeds out of the gourd.

Each one is round and full, radiating a spiritual light.

Aura can be strong or weak.

A few are quite extraordinary.

These are all medicinal herb seeds collected from the wild and desolate land.

Most of these medicinal herb seeds are of exceptional quality, including some that are rapidly becoming extinct.

Each seed needs a different environment to take root and sprout. Yang Huai first scattered some of the spiritual seeds with strong adaptability to the environment, and they fell to the ground.

He then took out another gourd from his bosom.

That gourd of creation.

A drop of emerald green innate creation liquid appeared from the mouth of the gourd, flashed with light, and suddenly fell onto the land beneath the Purple Star Divine Mountain.

Wow!
The expressions of the many Taoists present changed subconsciously. They could all sense an incredibly strong vitality being awakened from the depths of the earth. It wasn't just the seeds underground; even just a slight whiff of this vitality made them feel as if their marrow had been cleansed and their bodies refreshed.

"This kind of miraculous medicine is..."

Xuanfeng Daoist, whose innate Gengjin sword bamboo had taken human form, moved his eyes and instantly fell on the gourd in his master's hand.

As a spiritual root of heaven and earth, even he felt that his own origin was being subtly enhanced in the spiritual light.

Such a treasure could not help but stir his heart.

In the blink of an eye, strange phenomena occurred.

From the depths of that barren land, suddenly beams of emerald light burst forth from the ground, and tender green shoots broke through the soil and quickly blossomed.

As they bloomed, all the disciples could clearly sense that from the depths of Ziwei Star, strands of invisible power of the Great Dao were born, some falling into Taiwei Zi in front of them, and some falling into the azure gourd.

The fragrance of herbs wafted from the foot of the mountain, and in the blink of an eye, a garden of medicinal herbs covering hundreds of acres had been formed.

However, the disciples' gazes unconsciously fell on the azure gourd in Yang Huai's hand.

The dazzling divine light caused a slight shift in the Daoist hearts of many disciples.

Some of them even found it difficult to control their emotions.

This is authority!

Moreover, it is an extremely pure wood-attribute authority.

This authority, though weak, is extremely pure.

Clearly, Taiweizi had just enlightened the origin of the wood spirit in the Ziwei star and received feedback from the wood element source deep within the entire Ziwei star, thus becoming the god of the wood element source.

This is only the Wood elemental god within one of the stars.

If one could participate in enlightening the wood spirit deep within the Zhou Tian stars and gain the recognition of the Zhou Tian wood spirit, then what an enormous source of wood elemental power that would be!
The twenty-odd disciples present were slightly shaken.

They vaguely guessed what the senior disciple was thinking.

Sure enough, Yang Huai's gaze turned serious as he spoke.

"If I wish to revitalize the Zhou Tian Star Sea, the first thing I must do is to nurture the wood spirits deep within it, just as this is done with the Five Elements. As the saying goes, metal and wood are the foremost. I wonder who among you is willing to shoulder this heavy responsibility and bestow blessings upon the Zhou Tian Star Sea?!"

Upon hearing his words, the Taoist Taiyi's eyes lit up, and he spoke first.

"Senior Brother, I am willing to go!"

He was originally a successful manifestation of the innate Taiyi Qingling Yuanqi, and was born with a partial control over the Wood element. If he can obtain the origin of the Wood element and change his background, his future achievements will be limitless.

Leaving aside the future, with the nourishment of the Wood element's essence, he should be able to touch the mysteries of the essence realm and condense an innate Dao embryo in a short period of time.

"Senior Brother Taiwei, your junior sister is also willing to go!"

Not to be outdone, the Holy Mother of the Tortoise Spirit also spoke up. She was also born with the water and wood attributes and was a green tortoise, so naturally she would not let go of such an opportunity.

"Master, your disciple is also willing to go!"

Many outer disciples present spoke up.

How could anyone miss out on such a great opportunity?

Only two people remained silent: Xuanfeng Daoist and Wudang Holy Mother.

Xuanfeng Daoist's eyes were filled with a strange look. How could his master be willing to give up such a power of the origin of heaven and earth and let others compete for it?
