Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 351 Brother Tian·Shengzi Taiyi
[Mission Completed, You Gain: Paradise Points x 20000, Attribute Points +5]

[Trial Mission: Obtain the Taiyi Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword within three months]

[Trial Difficulty: S-Rank (Nightmare)]

[Trial Reward: Paradise Points x 20000, Attribute Points +5]

[Trial Failed: Forced Return and All Attributes -10, All Gains Deducted]

On the seventh day, the mission was completed on time, and a new mission was generated.

The new task, however, surprised Chu Danqing greatly.

Some tasks are rated S difficulty because that's the only possible rank.

However, some tasks are S-rank difficulty because the upper limit of Tier 1 is only S-rank.

"Get it within three months, what's the difficulty?" Chu Danqing looked at the task, not quite understanding it for a moment.

After all, Hong Shixun said he could finish forging it in seven days, but the task actually took three months.

Either something has happened to Hong Shixun, or the process of Taiyi Tianwang's demon-slaying sword is not yet complete.

Chu Danqing also realized that the Heavenly Craftsmanship: Summoning the Gods storyline was probably to get him the Taiyi Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword.

Then you can take the sword and do the real trial.

All the preceding tasks were paving the way for this sword.

"We can only wait until Hong Shixun comes out of seclusion." Chu Danqing muttered, "According to Hong Xuanjiao, he should be coming out of seclusion today."

Hong Xuanjiao had previously told Chu Danqing about Hong Shixun's changes and begged Chu Danqing to help investigate.

She couldn't entrust this matter to anyone else, so she could only ask Chu Danqing.

As the saying goes, speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao will appear.

Around noon, someone came to report that Hong Shixun had come out of seclusion and invited everyone to come for a meeting.

As the vice leader, Chu Danqing would definitely have to attend the meeting as well.

When he arrived, Hong Shixun was already sitting in the main seat. When he saw Chu Danqing, he smiled warmly and nodded, saying, "I'm so grateful for Fellow Daoist Chu's help these past few days."

"As the vice leader, it's what I should do," Chu Danqing said, sitting in the vice seat and looking the other person up and down.

It's bad news: Hong Shixun's personality and self-image have completely changed from before.

However, he should still be himself, only his mindset has changed.

He was Hong Shixun before, but now he is the Holy Son of Taiyi, no longer a mortal.

The problem with the summoning of spirits was far more serious than he had imagined.

Furthermore, his beliefs became purer, and everything would proceed according to the basic logic presupposed by the deity Taiyi Tianwang.

That is, to overthrow the Chongde dynasty and eliminate demons and monsters.

It's hard to say whether it's good or bad, but it fits Hong Shixun's plan.

He understood that he lacked the ability and that his personality made it difficult for him to achieve great things.

He pinned his hopes on others, who could invoke divine arts and the Heavenly King Taiyi was also on him.

Therefore, he chose to have the Taiyi Saint Son, whom he created, take over his account.

At that moment, Chu Danqing understood the meaning of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother.

The Heavenly Father is the Heavenly King Taiyi, and the Heavenly Brother is the Holy Son Taiyi, a deity created by him.

Hong Shixun may not have realized this, and only thought that he had been influenced by Taiyi Tianwang, which caused the change.

From the very beginning, neither Chu Danqing nor Hong Shixun realized the true nature of the summoning technique.

Regardless of whether it has been used or not, as long as someone re-cultivates this divine craftsmanship, a new deity will be created.

This is normal; after all, it's a god they created themselves, so please rest assured.

However, Chu Danqing is a summoner, and Hong Shixun's crafting abilities are no match for Yonghua Society.

This information gap led Hung Shih-hsun to choose the missionary path of the Holy Son's teachings.

This led to the birth of the second deity, Taiyi Shengzi.

The Holy Son said there is no problem, provided that such propaganda is done after the creation of a god.

Hong Shixun was promoted as the holy son of Taiyi Tianwang even before the god was created.

The holy son of Taiyi Heavenly King—everyone thought, isn't that also a god?

Therefore, his method of preaching the gospel of the Holy Son is actually a theory of reincarnation.

After figuring out these key points, Chu Danqing started thinking about how to make amends.

But after thinking it over and over, I realized that I was powerless to do anything about it.

Unless he can turn back time, everything is already set in stone.

Hong Shixun is now the Heavenly Brother, the Holy Son of Taiyi.

However, there might actually be a way to find Hong Shixun.

For example, the Taiyi Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword.

This sword definitely didn't appear out of thin air, so the raw material might be Hong Shixun's original self-thoughts.

Tianxiong Taiyi Saint noticed that Chu Danqing's gaze was fixed on the sword at his waist, so he chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Chu is very observant. You have already seen what I have gained in my seven days of seclusion before I have even made an announcement."

"Unfortunately, the Taiyi Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword has not yet been forged; for now, only the hilt exists."

As he finished speaking, Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son reached out and drew his sword.

When the Taiyi Heavenly King drew his demon-slaying sword, apart from the hilt, which was tangible, the rest of the sword was extremely illusory.

After hearing what the other party said, Chu Danqing understood why he had to obtain the trial mission within three months.

The sword hasn't even been forged yet, so it's useless to have it.

After he finished speaking, everyone had arrived.

Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son stood up and began to speak, first giving encouragement and boosting morale, and then explaining the situation of the Taiyi Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword.

His skill level was far superior to that of Hong Shixun back then.

Both her temperament and charm have been greatly enhanced.

Chu Danqing was not affected, which means he was still restrained and his charm was mainly based on friendliness and goodwill, and he had no intention of competing with the other party.

If he really wanted to seize power, given his circumstances, he could bring the entire Taiyi Sect under his control in three days at most.

However, the core of the Taiyi Sect is ultimately the art of summoning gods, and doing so would incite internal conflicts and affect unity. "We will march westward, straight to Tianjing, to slay demons and forge a precious sword!" Heavenly Brother, the Holy Son of Taiyi, announced his next plan.

Chu Danqing really didn't expect that his brother, the Holy Son of Taiyi, would be so resolute, with the same idea as him: to go straight for the enemy's heart.

He thought he would first clear out the surrounding demons and monsters, and then head straight for Tianjing after the sword was forged.

"Great Master, with our mastery of immortal energy and manpower, how can we possibly be a match for the demon army?" Hong Xuanjiao originally wanted to call him "elder brother," but because it was official business, she changed her form of address.

However, it also voiced the sentiments of all the celestial craftsmen present.

They made rapid progress in all aspects after acquiring immortal energy, but they were not arrogant enough to think they could stand against the Chongde Dynasty.

Apart from Chu Danqing, they were unable to defeat even the great demons, let alone the natural disasters caused by demons.

How could we possibly launch a direct counterattack towards Tianjing?

If Chu Danqing were to step forward and say he would lead the charge while the others provide logistical support, they would actually believe there was a chance of success.

After all, they had truly witnessed Chu Danqing's combat prowess.

However, the words of Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son are indeed not very credible.

Faced with Hong Xuanjiao's words, Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son smiled and said, "Don't worry, the seven-day seclusion was not a complete waste."

"I use immortal energy and herbs to refine pills, which the people can take and gain the power of heavenly soldiers."

"It makes him incredibly strong, agile, and invulnerable to weapons and armor. With enough courage and strength, he can kill ten evil demon corpses all by himself."

"However, this pill has a drawback: it can only be effective for a moment."

In fact, when they heard the Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son talk about the so-called power of the Heavenly Soldiers and their effects, all the Heavenly Craftsmen had already gripped their Heavenly Weapons.

This scene is all too familiar; it was said the same thing when the Chongde era turned into a world of demons.

If they hadn't said in time that it would only be effective for a moment, they would have already swarmed forward and hacked Tianxiong Taiyi Shengzi into mincemeat.

They helped Hong Shixun spread his faith so that the human race could be freed from slavery, not so that demons could be driven away and a god could be invited.

To all the sorcerers, gods and demons were all the same.

They simply chose God because God was in their best interest.

"Does the Master not mind making public the masterpiece of this Heavenly Soldier Pill so that we may take a look?" said the newly appointed wise ruler, Feng Shaoguang.

It all depends on whether you dare to go public. If there are no problems, you certainly won't feel guilty.

"Naturally, it should be made public so that we can better fight against demons by spreading the word throughout the world," Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son gave a direct answer.

"However, I will not only announce the Heavenly Soldier Pill, which can only be used by the common people to resist demons, but also a Heavenly Craftsmanship that is used by all of you and even by myself."

"By combining celestial energy with talismans, and carrying them, celestial craftsmen can obtain the power of celestial generals."

"The power of this heavenly general is borrowed from the divine power of the Taiyi Heavenly King, but it is not as much as my specialization in the art of summoning gods."

"As for this drawback, the Heavenly General Talisman, like the Heavenly Soldier Pill, has a time limit."

"Moreover, besides the time limit, the more divine power you borrow, the less time you will have left."

"Therefore, it is necessary to frequently change the Heavenly General Talisman and carry multiple Heavenly General Talismans, which is quite inconvenient."

"I am powerless to resolve these issues," said Tianxiong Taiyi Shengzi with regret on his face.

It's okay if it has flaws; it's normal for its effects to have a time limit. If it were to become permanently distorted like evil qi, they certainly wouldn't dare to use it.

"Master, you flatter me. Such a masterpiece is already beyond human skill. How can you say we are powerless to do anything about it?" Feng Shaoguang immediately offered a way out, and then asked, "I just wonder how much these heavenly soldiers and generals can be strengthened? Can more be used?"

"The Heavenly Soldier Pill can be used multiple times, but the Heavenly General Talisman can only be used once at a time and cannot be used multiple times." After answering, Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son added, "As for how much it enhances, we can find out by having someone test it."

They quickly called a patrol team member.

Since most of the Celestial Craftsmen are high-ranking officials, the other positions are naturally filled by ordinary people.

After taking the Heavenly Soldier Pill, his strength increased rapidly, far exceeding the level that his brother, the Holy Son of Taiyi, had said he could kill ten evil Qi demon corpses.

The other party spoke more subdued.

However, the prerequisite is courage, that is, not being afraid. Otherwise, being afraid on the battlefield will be of no use.

However, as time went by, his power gradually disappeared.

It is most potent when first taken, and its potency decreases afterward.

The Heavenly Soldier Pill doesn't lose all its buffs when the time is up; instead, it continuously depletes its power over the fifteen-minute period, becoming weaker as time goes on.

It only maintains its peak effect for the first three minutes after taking it.

But the more this is the case, the safer it seems to the sorcerers.

"Using more Heavenly Soldier Pills can extend the duration, but no more than ten pills should be used in a day, otherwise it will harm your health," said Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son upon seeing this.

Upon hearing about this side effect, the sorcerers felt even more reassured.

But Chu Danqing remained silent, feeling that something was off about the heavenly soldiers and generals.

However, he did not have much in-depth research on Qi, so he could not pinpoint the problem.

Of course, the problem wasn't with these two masterpieces, but with the identity of the Heavenly Brother, the Holy Son of Taiyi.

If these words were said by Hong Shixun, he would be very reassured.

Unfortunately, the one who said this was Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son.

We need to discuss this with Hong Xuanjiao first, rather than questioning it now.

It will definitely have an effect, but there's no way to stop it.

Besides the fact that he had no evidence, even if the Celestial Craftsmen knew, they would accept it as long as the cost was not the fall of humanity but their personal payment.

Heavenly Brother Taiyi Saint Son's timing was too precise.

Compared to him, Hong Shixun is simply child's play.

They used grand and imposing methods, relying on their own efforts to achieve great things.

All schemes, tricks, attempts to win him over or suppress him are mere child's play in his eyes.

It's like dragging everyone onto the same bandwagon of interests, and any stumbling block in the way of this interest will be crushed.

Either use force to blast this chariot of interests into dust, or form a new chariot of interests to pull everyone else in, forcing him to consider the bigger picture.

So even if Chu Danqing reveals the truth, the outcome won't change.

Unless Chu Danqing is willing to seize power by force, but what will happen after that? Destruction is easy, but creation is difficult.

It's better to use someone else's resources to your advantage and wait for them to make a move before striking.
