Journey to the West: Cultivation Begins at Jindou Mountain

Chapter 452 Shennong's Miraculous Manifestation
The next day, at the Three Emperors Temple in Suzhou.

As the headquarters of the Three Emperors Ancestral Master Association, the Three Emperors Temple is also the most magnificent building. Every year, countless amounts of gold and silver are invested in its renovation. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most magnificent temple in the entire city of Suzhou.

However, since a few years ago, the Three Sovereigns Temple, which enshrines the Three Sovereigns, has somehow become an important social venue for these doctors within the Patriarchal Society. It is used to entertain local landlords and gentry, and they curry favor with each other, all for the purpose of making money.

I don't know how these people dared to do such a thing under the noses of the Three Sovereigns. The current magnificence of the Three Sovereigns Temple is probably because these people have something to hide, so they invest a lot of money every year to seek some peace of mind.

At this time, the Sanhuang Temple was crowded with people. In previous years, the Sanhuang Temple, which did not allow ordinary people to enter except for members of the Ancestral Master Association, had its doors wide open to welcome all visitors.

Meanwhile, the heads of the various medical clinics inside the Three Emperors' Palace were being watched by the commoners gathered outside the palace's doors and windows, making them very uncomfortable.

After all these years, they had never had such an experience before. In the past, they would set up a banquet outside the Three Emperors Hall early in the morning and enjoy the food with many landlords and gentry.

Now, the local landlords and gentry, led by Prefect Chen, are also observing the ancestral worship ceremony, surrounded by many doctors.

At this moment, Niu Yi, who was at the forefront, held three sticks of incense in his hand and looked at the Three Sovereigns sculptures in front of him with a solemn expression.

Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs and is revered as the ancestor of medicine. He was both the creator and the practitioner, both in this world and in the Three Realms.

Even though he was a revered divine physician and Daoist master in the Three Realms, in charge of the destiny of medicine, he still had to address this person as a senior. The status and faith this person held in people's hearts were beyond his reach.

This is Shennong, the ancestor of medicine.

Of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Niu Yi was the only one who had indirectly interacted with Shennong, the emperor before him. As for the others, he had never even met them.

It is said that these individuals either roam freely in the mortal realm and have disappeared without a trace, or they left this world long ago and their whereabouts are unknown. However, their legends are eternally imprinted in the Three Realms.

No, it's not just the Three Realms.
Niu Yi closed his eyes and gently exhaled. The incense in his hand spontaneously combusted without any wind, emitting wisps of smoke.

The Prefect Chen and the others who were watching from the sidelines stared wide-eyed as Niu Yi stepped forward and placed three sticks of incense in the incense burner in front of the statue of the Three Sovereigns.

Niu Yi turned around and looked at the doctors who were bowing behind him. He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a vast divine thought descend upon the statue behind him.

Niu Yi quickly turned around and saw that the Shennong statue, which looked like an old farmer, was emitting bursts of light and a majestic divine aura was spreading out silently.

In a daze, everyone present seemed to see a smiling old man looking at them, whose appearance was exactly the same as the statue of Shennong!
"This...this is the miracle of the God of Medicine!"

"It's a miracle! It really is a miracle!"

Those surrounding the Three Emperors Hall and the physicians behind Niu Yi watched this scene in shock. Upon feeling the majestic aura, they knelt down without hesitation, as did Prefect Chen and his guards.

For a moment, only Niu Yi stood in the entire Three Emperors Hall, while everyone inside and outside the hall knelt down.

In the deepest part of the endless sea of ​​stars, the figure that had been bowing its head as if asleep had somehow stood up, opened its eyes, and looked down at its feet.

"Hmm? An old friend has come."

"This kid has some connection with Shennong, doesn't he? It's interesting that he expended his faith and divine sense to cross the chaos and descend here."

"It's been tens of thousands of years since we've seen this. Judging from this divine power, he hasn't stopped; he's made progress again."

At the same time, the other four Great Luo Golden Immortals in this realm also sensed the sudden appearance of this vast divine thought, but they only sensed it briefly before leaving.

Meanwhile, in Suzhou, Niu Yi was also somewhat surprised by the scene before him. In his eyes, atop a colossal tree that seemed to support the entire world, two figures were smiling down at him, one in front of the other. Although the tree was enormous, supporting the heavens and the earth, its height unknown, it exuded an aura of death, completely withered and lifeless. The only glimmer of life was beneath the feet of the two figures standing on a branch.

Niu Yi bowed respectfully to the old man opposite him.

"Niu Guangyi greets Senior Shennong."

"I had nothing to do at the time, and when I sensed someone making a sacrifice, I came to take a look. Young friend, there's no need for such formalities."

Upon hearing the gentle, aged voice beside him, Niu Yi straightened up and saw Shennong, who had a grass ring on his head, smiling at him.

Behind Shennong, that familiar figure also cupped his hands and smiled:

"Brother Niu, it's been a long time. It seems you're doing well these days."

Niu Yi smiled and returned the greeting to He Liansheng, who was all smiles, and nodded.

"It seems that Brother He has also found the senior Shennong as he wished."

"This is all thanks to Brother Niu!"

Shennong watched this scene with a smile. After Niu Yi and He Liansheng finished exchanging pleasantries, he raised his palm and gently pushed Niu Yi.

A vibrant green leaf slowly emerged from Shennong's hand and drifted towards him.

"Young friend, take this leaf. In some part of this world, it is of great importance to you."

"Young friend, you should know that the Great Luo Golden Immortal is not the ultimate realm of the Dao."

Niu Yi reached out and caught the emerald green leaf that drifted down in front of him, looking at Shennong opposite him with some surprise.

He was somewhat puzzled by the seemingly unrelated words spoken by the person in front of him, and Niu Yi was also curious about this person's sudden appearance to see him.

Shennong looked at Niu Yi with a smile.

"Young friend, do not be surprised. You only need to know that after Pangu created the world, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all received the favor of your master."

As Shennong spoke, Niu Yi's gaze did not wander far away, and his eyes returned to the Three Sovereigns Hall.

"Someone in this world is extremely important. And that last sentence too."

"Could this person be related to my future path as a Great Luo Immortal? But isn't this a bit too early?"

Niu Yi gently shook his head and turned to look at the people kneeling on the ground.

He had a strange feeling that Shennong's divine manifestation was to support him, but was it really necessary to do so in front of a group of mortals?
Niu Yi looked up at the blue sky outside. For the first time, he realized that what he had thought would be a simple reincarnation and cultivation journey, like the last one, was not so simple after all.
From the depths of the endless sea of ​​stars, a soft hum slowly drifted out.

"Hmph, so they came here specifically to remind me of our promise from back then?"

"You old man, you underestimate me too much."
