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

Chapter 368 Self-knowledge
Seeing everyone speaking up to petition, Yang Huai smiled slightly.

"The celestial sphere is vast, and it is not something that a single god or one being can accomplish. You are all welcome to try. I will divide the celestial sphere into twelve regions for you to explore, to help you create the void and the earth."

The best candidate will occupy the main position in the Wood element.

But you must all remember that enlightening the wood spirit and cultivating creation is not merely for the sake of its origin. If you cannot understand this and uphold your Dao heart, obtaining the wood element's origin will only increase your Dao cultivation in vain, and will not help your Dao path!

Upon hearing this, the Taoist priests were overjoyed.

They all focused their attention on the Wood element master position mentioned by their master (eldest brother).

Only a few people focused their attention on the latter part of Yang Huai's speech.

After saying that, Yang Huai waved his hand and twenty-two jade bottles appeared in his hand.

With a wave of his hand, twenty-two jade bottles fell into the hands of the Taoist priests.

Deep within each jade bottle lies a diluted innate elixir of life, which can help people fulfill their responsibility of giving life.

As for the medicinal herb seeds, they can go to the Ziwei Imperial Palace to collect them themselves.

Yang Huai then elaborated on some of the more detailed requirements.

His request to everyone was naturally not just to distribute these medicinal seed seeds and thereby awaken the life force of the wood spirits in the various star worlds!
Furthermore, it's more important to compare who can cultivate more spiritual seeds over a wider area, and secondly, who can cultivate more high-quality spiritual herb seeds.

There are also some hidden requirements.

After giving the instructions, all the Taoist priests bowed in unison.

"Thank you, Master, for granting me this opportunity!"

Upon seeing some of the outer disciples bowing, Taiyi Daoist and Guiling Shengmu also performed the proper etiquette.

Opportunities in the world are always fought over by countless people, and they are deeply grateful that their senior brother is willing to bestow such a blessing upon them.

"Go!"

Yang Huai simply smiled slightly.

With a wave of his hand, the Taoists immediately departed, heading to the Purple Palace Imperial Palace to collect the spiritual seeds.

Many of the Taoist priests looked excited and thrilled.

All the Daoists knew that this enlightenment of the Star Wood Spirits was a matter of great importance to their own Daoist practice, and could not be taken lightly.

As Yang Huai watched the departing figures of the Taoist priests, a smile crept into his heart.

This time, he did indeed intend to give them a bit of good fortune.

But no matter who accomplishes this task, the greatest authority of the Wood element will still converge in the Ziwei Imperial Palace and the Creation Gourd. Only he can decide the ownership of the Wood element deity of the Zhou Tian Star Sea.

Secondly, he also had his own reasons for entrusting the task of enlightening the wood spirits to everyone.

That's fishing!
To lure out an old friend hidden in the vast universe.

The origin of the Grand Duke Jupiter is the power of the Wood element deep within the celestial sea. Now that this power has been taken away by others, he refuses to believe he can remain in power.

Yang Huai was somewhat looking forward to seeing his old friend again.

Then Yang Huai turned his gaze to the Holy Mother of Wudang and Daoist Xuanfeng. He first looked at Daoist Xuanfeng and asked.

"Disciple, why did you choose to give up the struggle for the Wood Element Source?"

Xuanfeng Daoist was born from the innate Geng metal sword bamboo, a spiritual root of heaven and earth. Although he was mainly composed of innate Geng metal, he also had a portion of the wood element as his origin.

Master Xuanfeng's expression was solemn, and he spoke respectfully.

"This disciple only wishes to cultivate the Metal element alone and inherit Master's swordsmanship!"

"very good!"

A hint of satisfaction appeared deep in Yang Huai's eyes.

To be able to maintain one's original aspirations amidst such temptations is far superior to a mere power over the fundamental source of the wood element.

As for the fundamental authority over the Gold Element, he would naturally pass it on to Daoist Xuanfeng.

"And you, Junior Sister Wudang?"

Yang Huai's gaze fell on the Holy Mother of Wudang.

Since the Holy Mother of Wudang possesses both the essence of water and wood, she should also be able to participate in the struggle for the authority of the essence of wood.

The Holy Mother of Wudang smiled slightly.

"Senior Brother Taiwei, Junior Sister has never liked to join in the fun!"

She clearly had her own plans.

Yang Huai smiled slightly and did not ask any further questions.

Not long after, Huanglong Daoist arrived upon hearing the news. He was slightly hesitant when facing Yang Huai.

Seeing his expression, Yang Huai knew what he was up to, and smiled as he looked at him.

"Junior Brother Huanglong, you've also set your sights on the position of Star Lord of Zhenxing?"

Huanglong Daoist blushed slightly and nodded.

"That is indeed the case. However, I have nothing of value except a treasure I acquired years ago, which I would like to offer to you, senior brother. I wonder if you would be willing to exchange it?"

With a simple gesture, a wooden box appeared in his hand.

On the Purple Emperor's throne, Yang Huai raised his hand and the golden wooden box instantly appeared in his hand. He opened it slightly, and a hint of surprise appeared deep in Yang Huai's eyes.

How did you end up with this?

In his hand was a precious pearl.

A bright red jewel.

Inside, there seemed to be an extremely strong and powerful innate fire elemental energy.

Inside, there was also a gas generator that Yang Huai was extremely familiar with.

The power of the divine fire of Zhurong.

This should be a Zhurong Pearl containing a portion of the essence of the fire god.

Yang Huai was absolutely certain.

He cultivated the fire-refining secrets of the Zhurong clan, and was one of the few beings in the desolate land who could control the fire of Zhurong.

Seeing that his senior brother's gaze was drawn to it, Huanglong Daoist said.

"Junior brother has no other supernatural abilities, except for a slight talent in earth-elemental supernatural abilities, which is why he likes to travel around. This treasure is something I obtained while exploring at the foot of Buzhou Mountain!"

"However, this item is incompatible with my junior brother's attributes, so it won't work!"

He seemed to be reminiscing, then continued.

"However, this treasure is only part of the treasure trove. It's a pity that another part of the treasure was taken by someone else!" He looked somewhat regretful.

He had put in a lot of effort to dig through the bottom of Buzhou Mountain, but he didn't know that there was a hidden master behind him. Fortunately, his escape technique was also quite good, and he eventually managed to bring out a precious pearl.

Yang Huai frowned and asked.

"So, there's more than one bead inside?"

Huanglong Daoist nodded.

"Yes, there should have been three, but I only managed to take one. The other two were taken by the Earth Spirit, and I almost died at his hands!"

Yang Huai nodded slightly and casually put the precious pearl away.

This item may not be of much use to others, but it may be of some use to him. He might be able to comprehend the sixth level of the Fire Refining Technique.

Seeing Huanglong Daoist looking at him, Yang Huai pondered for a moment.

"Lord of Zhenxing, I have other plans!"

Upon hearing this, Huanglong Daoist's heart sank, but then he heard Yang Huai laugh.

"However, since Junior Brother has taken a liking to you, we can give you a choice!"

"Firstly, junior brother can become the Earth Palace Star Lord, a slightly less prestigious position. Secondly, accept one of my tests! If you pass, you can become the Town Star Lord!"

"However, I will not go easy on you just because you are my junior brother!"

Yang Huai's expression remained calm.

The star lords in the depths of the Zhou Tian star sea today are different from those in the ancient demon court.

As the celestial sphere is opened up, their value will increase rapidly.

If the Zhou Tian Star Sea can be fully opened up in the future, Yang Huai estimates that the Five Elements Main Stars may possess more origins than the ancient Five Elements Origin Gods.

For example, Ru Shou, Zhu Rong, Gong Gong, Hou Tu Huang Di Qi, etc.

Even if he fails to complete the project according to his plan, even if he only opens up 50% or 60% of the Zhou Tian Star Sea, he will still have authority comparable to many primordial gods.

Zhenxing represents the earth god of the celestial sphere.

Yang Huai wasn't unwilling to pass on this source to his fellow disciples.

The question is whether Huanglong Daoist can hold out.

As for the Five Stars, they might be quite different, but they can still be compared to some powerful primordial gods.

Yang Huai awaited Huanglong Daoist's choice.

Huanglong Daoist looked somewhat hesitant.

His expression changed slightly for a moment, then he slowly raised his head and looked at Yang Huai.

"Senior Brother, I am willing to become the Earth Star and assist you in governing the Zhou Tian Star Sea, and to share a portion of the Earth Element Origin!"

"Oh?"

This answer surprised Yang Huai slightly.

His eyes fell on Huanglong Daoist, who met Yang Huai's gaze with complete composure.

He was well aware that although he had some talent, he was still different from the top gods.

His strengths lie in his talent and perseverance, but he is not particularly good at planning and does not possess any top-notch wisdom. Therefore, it would be better to acquire the Earth Mansion Star first. As for the Star Lord Zhenxing, he can ask his senior brother for help when his cultivation reaches that level. Perhaps there will still be a chance then.

Are we looking for stability?
Yang Huai glanced at Huanglong Daoist.

Faced with a major choice, this is probably the choice many people would make, and there's nothing wrong with that.

As for right and wrong, only time will tell.

Yang Huai nodded.

"Very good, but after becoming a member of the Earth Palace Star, Junior Brother will need to establish his own palace and build a Star God team, otherwise there will be no peace and quiet in the future!"

Yang Huai then gave another warning.

"The path of the gods is far less carefree than the path of the immortals!"

Huanglong Daoist cupped his hands in greeting.

"If my junior brother abandons his post and violates the rules, I am willing to be punished along with all the stars!"

Yang Huai nodded.

Huanglong Daoist's statement pleased him.

"Go!"

As he raised his hand, a wisp of vast, earth-yellow immortal light fell upon Huanglong Daoist.

As the rich starlight entered his body, Huanglong Daoist immediately sensed a connection between himself and a vast, earth-yellow star. A tremendous source of energy transformed into a divine seal and fell into the depths of his consciousness.

I could only sense a hint of great joy on his face.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother!"

He bowed again, and after a moment strode away from the Ziwei Imperial Palace.

Yang Huai watched his figure with a smile on his face. Rather than handing over power to some unknown people or ingrates, he would naturally prefer to cultivate these junior brothers with good character.

Of course, the important thing is that they have this ability.

In the future, they may become powerful figures who can stand alone for Zhou Tianxinghai.

After Huanglong Daoist left, some Yuqing and Shangqing disciples entered the Ziwei Imperial Palace in an attempt to obtain the positions of those core Origin Star Lords.

Yang Huai either refused or suggested that they compete fairly with his disciples three thousand years later.

If they themselves cannot pass the test, then they cannot be blamed on him.

Six hundred years later.

As the Star God entered the designated area, many ancient stars that had already begun to evolve showed signs of life. These spiritual roots and herbs were seeds of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

Their existence is the origin of spirituality.

However, Yang Huai still could not sense the aura of those ancient star lords who had infiltrated the Zhou Tian Star Sea!
The Grand Duke Jupiter has not revealed any trace of himself.

He wasn't in a hurry. With Zhou Tianxinghai under his control, he would eventually be able to dig out all these rats.

Not long after, he arrived above the Moon.

As far as he could see, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth accumulated in the Chaotic Star Sea had reached a certain level, and he could try to release the spiritual tide.

This marks the beginning of the first large-scale spiritual awakening in the Zhou Tian Xing Hai.
