Daily Intelligence: From Water Snake to Jinghe Dragon King

Liu Qing has not yet fully mastered all its functions, but just considering its status as a supreme innate treasure, it can suppress Liu Qing's fortune and enhance his luck and destiny. Ultimately, when Liu Qing achieves the Great Dao, it can also suppress the Great Dao.

Even the ultimate Primordial Dao Fruit, the Primordial Treasure Scripture of Earth, can suppress it. Don't you see that the Heavenly Dao Saints during the prosperity of the Primordial Era, their Saintly Fruits were only suppressed by a Primordial Treasure like Liu Qing, without suffering any backlash from their Fruits?

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's creation treasure, the Chaos Banner; Lao Tzu's creation treasure, the Taiji Diagram.

Among the Three Pure Ones, the only one without the Heaven-Opening Treasure to suppress his position, Tongtian Shengren of the Jie Sect, suffered a backlash from his position, which affected the Jie Sect and ultimately led to its decline during the Investiture of the Gods.

Because it lacks the Zhuxian Formation Diagram, the Zhuxian Four Swords have fallen in rank and are no longer considered creation treasures, but rather top-grade innate spiritual treasures.

However, Liu Qing possesses a supreme treasure from the beginning of creation. While suppressing his future position, it is likely that if he truly takes over as the leader of the Jie Sect, he can also suppress the destiny of this great sect, unlike Tongtian Shengren, who suffered a backlash from his position and implicated the Jie Sect.

From this perspective, Liu Qing is more suitable to be the leader of the Jie Sect than Tongtian Shengren.

As a supreme treasure created at the beginning of time, the manifestation of the Earthly Dao in the Talking Earth True Scripture is far more powerful than the mere third of the Investiture of the Gods. Therefore, when the Talking Earth True Scripture was released, the original divine soul of the Golden Light Holy Mother was instantly snatched from the Investiture of the Gods and drawn into the Talking Earth True Scripture.

The True Scripture of the Earth opened a page displaying the divine titles conferred by Liu Qing, including the Ninth-Rank River God of Snake Pool, Old Tuolong, the Water-Dividing General Shen Gongbao, and now the Thirty-Six Heavenly Lords of the Ten Earthly Responses, and the Ninth-Rank Lightning Goddess, Golden Light Holy Mother.

Wen Zhong's corresponding divine duties had already evolved, but Wen Zhong's subsequent plans still required him, so he did not align himself with the divine duties and they were not shown in the True Scripture of Talking Earth.

At the same time, the Jade Emperor, who was drinking with Yu Yu Dao Ren in frustration, suddenly sensed something unusual about the Investiture of the Gods. Just as he was about to check, he saw Yu Yu Dao Ren look up at him with a surge of sword intent in his eyes.

The Jade Emperor was startled and dared not check the Investiture of the Gods. He could only pretend nothing was wrong and continue drinking alone with Yu Yu Dao Ren.

At the same time, he was secretly anxious. The unusual movement of the Investiture of the Gods must mean that something unpredictable had happened. But Yu Yu Daoist was right in front of him, and his intention was very clear: to keep him from being distracted.

Helpless, the Jade Emperor took a swig of wine and asked in a muffled voice, "Senior brother, we've drunk almost all the wine. What do you think?"

"Who said we've had enough to drink? It's still early. No rush. Keep drinking with me. The Three Realms won't collapse or sink without you."

The Golden Light Mother felt a sense of relief, as if some shackles had been broken. She immediately swept her divine sense across her entire body and saw that the original divine soul imprint that had been trapped on the Investiture of the Gods had returned and restored her divine soul to its perfect state.

Moreover, I did not feel anything else unusual.

The Golden Light Mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief, worried that after she came out of the Investiture of the Gods, she would fall into other restrictions.

The sect leader before him was, after all, a newcomer to the Jie Sect. Although he admired the sect leader's formidable strength, he had to remain wary of him.

As a supreme treasure created at the beginning of time, the power of the Talking Earth True Scripture far surpasses that of the Investiture of the Gods. How could it be like the Investiture of the Gods, so crudely imprisoning the original divine soul imprint of others?

The True Scripture of Talking About the Earth merely buried a wisp of its aura deep within the soul of the Golden Light Holy Mother, subtly influencing her to be loyal to Liu Qing. If the Golden Light Holy Mother were to act disrespectfully, Liu Qing only needed to make a thought, and this wisp of aura could immediately take control of her soul.

Previously, when the True Scripture of Earth did not manifest its true form, people like Old Tuolong, Shen Gongbao, and Yuan Haowen could still vaguely sense it and dared not disobey it, even respecting Liu Qing as their master.

Now, the manifestation of the True Scripture of the Earth is more subtle than before. After being sealed, outsiders cannot know it and will only be subtly influenced. It will not be like Shen Gongbao, who claimed to be the God and flaunted it in the world.

Liu Qing noted it down and immediately sent a message to Shen Gongbao, informing him that Yuan Haowen, who had been previously granted titles, no longer needed to address him as "Divine Lord."

So as not to cause unease to the Holy Mother of Golden Light and others.

The Golden Light Holy Mother felt a sense of relief both inside and out, thinking that she had been completely freed. Overwhelmed with emotion, she bowed deeply to Liu Qing and said, "Disciple Golden Light Holy Mother thanks the Sect Leader for rescuing me."

Liu Qing smiled and helped her up, offering a few words of comfort before telling her to rest aside, as there were other disciples of the Jie Sect who needed to be rescued.

Liu Qing's smile at this moment was not a polite one, but a genuine one.

This is because, after the True Scripture of the Earth plucked the original divine soul of the Golden Light Holy Mother from the Investiture of the Gods.

Previously, as one of the Thirty-Six Heavenly Lords of the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court, the God of Lightning, he had worked diligently for thousands of years, serving the Three Realms. However, the Heavenly Merits he had gained were all taken away by the True Scripture of Talking Earth.

The heavenly merits and virtues attained by celestial beings like the Holy Mother of Golden Light are all left deep within the imprint of their original divine soul, serving as resources for their divine bodies to die and be reborn.

After all, even gods can 'die'. Back when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he killed countless gods.

But 'death' is not true death; rather, it is the destruction of the divine body and the soul drifting back to the Investiture of the Gods, where it is reborn again by the merits and virtues it possesses.

It can be said that this Heavenly Merit is the salary of the gods, similar to the incense silver of the gods in the lower realm, or the gold of power, but it is better than incense silver, since incense silver cannot bring gods in the lower realm back to life.

When Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Thunder Department did not participate, and afterwards no great demon dared to kill the Jiejiao Heavenly Gods. Therefore, the Heavenly Merits bestowed upon the Jiejiao Heavenly Gods, such as the Golden Light Holy Mother, as their salary, were never used for rebirth and accumulated in great numbers.

Now that the True Scripture of the Earth has snatched it from the Investiture of the Gods, it has also taken away the accumulated merits of the Heavenly Dao.

The Holy Mother of Golden Light was in the midst of excitement at being freed from the Investiture of the Gods and regaining her freedom. Who would think about the Heavenly Dao's merits? Even if she thought about them later, she would think that the Heavenly Dao's merits remained in the Investiture of the Gods.

Therefore, Liu Qing earned the merits of Heaven with a clear conscience, without any worries or concerns about the future.

[Heavenly Merit +23 points]

The Golden Light Holy Mother accumulated 23 points of Heavenly Dao Merit, all of which benefited Liu Qing. This made Liu Qing happy and gave him even more motivation to rescue the Jiejiao Heavenly Gods from the Investiture of the Gods.

Seeing that the Golden Light Mother had escaped the Investiture of the Gods and gained 'freedom', the other Jiejiao gods no longer had any doubts. They all looked at Liu Qing with excitement, hoping that it would be their turn soon.

"Today, I am acting specifically to free you from the Investiture of the Gods. No one will be left behind, so there is no rush. Take your time."

Afterwards, Liu Qing summoned these Jiejiao deities one by one, according to their status within the Jiejiao sect during their lifetimes.

Hanzhi Fairy, Caiyun Fairy, Bai Li, Yu Qing, Ji Li.
First, they evolved corresponding divine positions, then imprinted these positions into their divine repositories, commanded the true scriptures of the earth, and seized their original divine soul imprints from the Investiture of the Gods.

Of course, the key is not to forget the Heavenly Dao merits hidden in their original divine soul imprints.

This is related to the development of smallpox, one of Liu Qing's three famous flowers.

These Heavenly Merits, which they found useless, were used as compensation for Liu Qing's hard work in rescuing them. [Thirty-six Heavenly Lords of the Ten Earthly Thunder Department, Ninth-Rank Assisting Wind God Han Zhi Immortal] -- [Heavenly Merits +21 points];
[Thirty-six Heavenly Lords of the Thunder Department of the Ten Earthly Realms, Ninth-Rank Cloud-Walking Fairy] -- [Heavenly Merit +19 points];
[The Thirty-Six Heavenly Lords of the Thunder Department of the Ten Earthly Realms, the Ninth-Rank Assistant Thunder God Bai Li] -- [Heavenly Merit +17 points].
After Liu Qing rescued all sixteen celestial beings from the Jie Sect from the Investiture of the Gods, the Heavenly Merit he gained was enough to give birth to the Heavenly Flower.

[Heavenly Merit: 233]

It only takes 200 points. Go and cultivate smallpox now, and you'll still have some left over.

With a thought, Liu Qing sent 200 points of Heavenly Dao Merit into the Divine Treasury, along with the Human Flower and Earth Flower from before. At the same time, he also infused a wisp of his divine soul's essence into the Heavenly Dao Merit, waiting for it to mature.

When Liu Qing has fully nurtured the three flowers of Heaven, Earth, and Man, his cultivation level will inevitably soar from the early stage of the Three Flowers Realm to the late stage of the Three Flowers Realm.

At that time, it wouldn't be long before I broke through to the Three Flowers Realm and advanced to the Divine Realm.

Furthermore, Liu Qing, who has already reached the Divine Realm, has completed most of the process. He has already evolved the real Lesser Thousand World that he needed to create, and it is larger than those of others who have reached the Golden Body or the Undying Realm, almost equivalent to the Middle Thousand World.

All that is needed is for the microcosms to evolve into a cycle of life and death.

Currently, that Ghost Lord in the gorge has been suppressed and is being ground into pure Netherworld Ghost Qi by the power of the world. However, there is not much of it. Once Yuan Haowen tricks the other Ghost Kings over, it will be able to completely evolve into the Netherworld of the Lesser Thousand Worlds, achieve the cycle of life and death, and leap into the Divine Realm.

It can be said that Liu Qing's path to the Three Flowers Realm and the Divine Realm is now without any obstacles; all that remains is to progress step by step.

The Jade Emperor felt the Investiture of the Gods fluctuate and tremble, as if it had suffered a severe blow, and felt anxious and uneasy.

Just as he was about to make a move, he saw Daoist Yu Yu pat the iron sword at his waist, and instantly a sword intent soared into the sky, cutting a bottomless abyss into the chaos outside the Nine Heavens, which could not be healed for a long time, and he was horrified.

I absolutely cannot withstand this sword strike.

Seeing that Yu Yu Daoist was looking at him, seemingly eager to try, the Jade Emperor quickly forced a smile and said, "Senior brother, please have some wine, please have some wine."

"Now that you have been freed from the Investiture of the Gods and gained your freedom, you cannot immediately appear in the Three Realms. You still need to wait patiently for a while."

"The follow-up plan is still in progress. I, along with my teacher and Wen Zhong, are planning to give Haotian and Tathagata a really tough scare."

"Therefore, you shall temporarily reside in my minor world, and travel through the Three Realms after your plan succeeds."

Golden Light Holy Mother, Hanzhi Fairy, Caiyun Fairy, and other disciples of the Jie Sect responded in unison, "We will obey the Sect Leader's order."

The next day, Li Shimin led the Tang army to Tongguan to challenge them. However, no matter how much the three vanguard generals, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, shouted and cursed, there was no response from the people inside Tongguan. They simply hung up the sign of truce.

In the following days, Li Shimin led his troops to Tongguan, and Tongguan always followed the same pattern, with a sign of truce raised high and the troops holding out to the death.

Li Shimin was determined to launch a strong attack, but when he saw the Thunder Pool hanging high above the Tongguan city wall, he felt a chill in his heart. He then found his clone and begged Liu Qing to deal with the Thunder Pool. Liu Qing declined, saying that he had no way to do so.

Right now, Wen Zhong is putting on an act of being unable to fight back and being trapped, asking for help. How could I not cooperate? Besides, this was originally my plan.

Another day passed, and Wen Zhong secretly sent a message: "Master Uncle, in the past few days, several trusted celestial beings of Haotian have descended to the mortal realm."

"Specifically, there are Kui Mulang Star Lord, Herbivore Star Lord, Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, Nezha, Bedside Goddess Yin Shiniang, Li Jing's adopted daughter Half-Bodhisattva, Giant Spirit God, Heavenly Official King Lingguan, Red Phoenix Star Princess Longji, and others, all of whom are the confidants of the Jade Emperor."

Kui Mulang was originally a boss in Journey to the West. He was a loyal follower of Haotian. Even his child, which he had given birth to as a demon in the mortal realm, was killed by Sun Wukong. Despite such deep hatred, he did not dare to seek revenge on Sun Wukong under Haotian's strong order.

The Herbivore God is the Jade Rabbit Spirit, the pet of the Moon Goddess. It is said in the Three Realms that the Moon Goddess has an affair with Haotian. Liu Qing did not believe it before, but first, Pigsy was punished with a pig fetus for offending the Moon Goddess, and now this pet rabbit is rushing down to the mortal realm. It seems that the rumors may be true.

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, Nezha, Yin Shiniang, and the half-Bodhisattva Golden-Nosed White Light Rat Spirit—this whole family are adrift between Buddhism and Heaven. Whether it's Buddhists coming or Heaven descending to the mortal realm, they're always there.

However, as far as we can see, Jinzha and Muzha are still missing. It is likely that they are on their way together with the Buddhists.

The two, Giant Spirit God and Wang Lingguan, were promoted by the Jade Emperor and were his trusted confidants, even more so than the Curtain-Raising General. Now that they have descended to the mortal realm, Liu Qing will definitely not allow them to return.

Princess Longji, the daughter of the Jade Emperor, was abandoned during the Investiture of the Gods and forced to take the place of the Jade Emperor in the mortal realm. Her pitiful soul was listed on the Investiture of the Gods. However, even after a thousand years, Princess Longji has not realized her mistake and has agreed to descend to the mortal realm again to serve as the Jade Emperor's weapon. It is true that every pitiful person has their hateful aspects.

The other gods were mostly minor figures, with low cultivation and weak abilities. Wen Zhong was too lazy to introduce them, and Liu Qing was too lazy to ask.

At best, they were just some random people who were easily dealt with.

"Have any Buddhists come?"

"not yet."

Liu Qing frowned: "Then let's not start a war for now. Let's keep the truce up until the Buddhists arrive, then we can begin fighting."

"This time, we must really screw over Buddhism and the Heavenly Court, making Buddha and Jade Emperor wince in heartache!"

Liu Qing sent a message, and Wen Zhonggong responded.

Wen Zhong already knew that the Golden Light Holy Mother and other Jiejiao gods had been rescued from the Investiture of the Gods by Liu Qing.

Wen Zhong was shocked, but also envious. If he didn't have to play along, he would have wanted the Master to rescue him from the Investiture of the Gods immediately.

Thinking of this, Wen Zhong now feels both gratitude and respect for Liu Qing.

A few days later, Wen Zhong followed Liu Qing's instructions and ignored Li Shimin's challenge with his army, as well as the insults and curses from Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, and kept the sign of no war up high.

Unless someone sent by Buddhism arrives.

Liu Qing was the same; if the Buddhists didn't come, he wouldn't go out either, but would just wait in the small world.

One day, Yuan Haowen sent word that he was leading the Mighty Ghost King, the One-Horned Ghost King, and the Mangshan Ghost King to come.

Liu Qing was taken aback. Instead of Buddhist reinforcements, he was greeted by three great ghost kings. He was overjoyed! (End of Chapter)
