My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 575 Finally Obtaining an Honorable Title, Marriage Alliance with Shanghao

Li Wei was jolted awake from his coma, the faint echoes of fate still lingering in his ears.

fear?
What's so scary?
Here we go again. Whose voice is this?

Just as Li Wei was thinking, there was a loud thud!
Yang Chan rushed in, her face filled with worry: "My second brother hasn't left the house for three days, and he won't even see me. Could something have happened to him?"

After finishing their visit to Yuxu Palace, Yang Jian and Li Wei returned to Tianfu County together, and then locked themselves in their home, refusing to see anyone.

This is not a good sign.

Upon hearing this, Li Wei shook his head, dispelling the strange thoughts in his mind, and said without even opening his eyes:
[He was definitely a little shocked, but Second Brother isn't that fragile. Once he adjusts his Dao heart, he'll be fine soon!]

Yang Chan nodded upon hearing this, but then remembered something else and asked curiously, "Do you really possess the title of 'extorting the masses'?"

Li Wei: [What, scared?]

[Hehehe! I was destined to suffer three calamities and nine misfortunes for my second brother, and was destined to have bad luck for the rest of my life, so why should I be afraid?]

However, throughout history, I've only ever seen this term applied to Lord Shen Gongbao!

[But calling it an entry isn't quite right! After all, the era of the Heavenly Dao hadn't been established yet, so it was just a law-based ability.]

Shen Gongbao, relying on this law, developed an unparalleled divine power, which he used to bring down the entire Shang Dynasty and bury the entire Investiture of the Gods era.

If used properly, the entry for Li Wei could be a terrifying weapon that determines the rise and fall of a hegemonic power!

But weren't these kinds of terms banned by the Heavenly Court long ago? How did Li Wei manage to get them?
Yang Chan was very curious.

Li Wei, on a sudden inspiration, said: "The supreme divine power you mentioned, shouldn't it be 'Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment'?"

[That's right, Shen Gongbao, somehow, managed to reconstruct the laws of extorting sentient beings using the Chan Sect's principle of following the will of Heaven, and developed a domineering method of forming bonds that spans the Three Realms!]

[It's a pity that this supernatural power, along with Shen Gongbao himself, was completely erased long ago! Otherwise, if you tried to learn it, you might be able to orchestrate the great calamity yourself.]

Li Wei shook his head and said, "This is no longer the era of the Investiture of the Gods. Methods of forming bonds that were intractable then may not be intractable now, and techniques that were effective then may not be effective now!"

[Besides, even Shen Gongbao himself is dead; having this title might not even save my life.]

The title of "extorting the masses" is by no means invincible. The key is whether those top experts are willing to pay a sufficient price!
However, there was one thing Li Wei really hadn't expected.

Yang Jian knew He was under a halo of misfortune, but he still summoned Him back to Tianfu County.

This second brother is truly brave!
Since her older brother has already taken such good care of her, she can't be unfair to him. This time, she must reward Yang Chan properly!

Thinking of this, a hint of malice rose in Li Wei's heart.

After all, He had faced several life-or-death crises on this trip to Jade Void Palace. Now that He had finally survived, He naturally wanted to fully appreciate the beauty of reality!
Seeing the strange look in Li Wei's eyes, Yang Chan quickly took a step back warily: "What do you want?"

【Dry! 】

Yang Chan knew she couldn't escape it, so she quickly asked a question in an attempt to distract Li Wei.

[The reason you went to Jade Void Palace before was about the title. Now that Jade Void Palace is mostly destroyed, what will happen to your title?]

Li Wei smiled slightly, as if victory was assured, and said, "Don't worry, we should have news soon."

People are in high spirits when they have good news!
The Supreme Heavenly Emperor has been doing just that recently.

During this period, with the Jade Void Palace, the Nine Saints Heretic Path, and the Buddhist sect successively entering the tribulation, He was no longer the first to be subject to the tribulation, and the pressure suddenly lessened considerably.

Meng Shifei had already returned from Yuxu Palace and, after undergoing numerous checks, was finally summoned to Lingxiao Palace by Shanghao.

[Your Majesty!! Waaaaah, I thought I'd never see you again!]

[Hahaha! Why are you crying? You've done a great service at Jade Void Palace this time, and I'm just about to reward you! If you keep crying, you won't get the reward!]

Meng Shifei quickly replied, sounding aggrieved, "Your Majesty's willingness to bestow rewards is naturally gratifying, but Yuxu Palace is, after all, on our side. If you openly reward them, I fear it might easily offend them."

[Hehehe, if I, in this position, want to achieve anything, do you think I'm afraid of offending anyone? But what you said makes a lot of sense, so I'll secretly reward you with something.]

The Supreme Emperor picked up a list from the table: "[In the two days you were at the Jade Void Palace, eight deities ascended to heaven. Adding to the previous batch, there are now over twenty deities who have not yet been granted titles.]"

[In principle, I should personally examine them in the Lingxiao Palace before bestowing upon them honorary titles.]

[However, the turmoil at Jade Void Palace these past few days has been too great for me to initiate the palace examination, so I've entrusted this task to you.]

Meng Shifei glanced at the list.

Huang Ling, the seventh-generation descendant of Lord Huang Feihu, and Ning Lu, the tenth-generation descendant of Lord Jiuyao Mude Xingjun, are both descendants of top-tier divine bloodline clans!
Therefore, these people's backgrounds are definitely not problematic, and His Majesty's sending him there was probably just a formality.

Even if it was just a formality, he was still a special envoy of the Heavenly Emperor!

When the time comes to bestow titles upon these dozen or so deities, their families will naturally be bound by strict rules.

Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Meng Shifei's face:
Ha ha!

These aristocratic families have plundered countless riches from the people over the past few versions; this time, they'll definitely have to pay a heavy price!

However, as he was thinking, Meng Shifei suddenly felt something was wrong. He glanced at the list again and suddenly realized a problem.

Why are all the people on this list women?
Meng Shifei's heart pounded with anxiety. After studying it carefully,
It was discovered that many of the seventeen ascended goddesses were gods of the Doubu lineage, which was now leaderless due to the fall of Venus. However, the Great Emperor of Mount Tai, Huang Feihu, and others were not from the Doubu lineage.

However, he is one of the oldest gods in Heaven, and like Bi Gan, the God of Wealth, he has the support of the remnants of the previous dynasty, and is even a strong contender for the position of the next God of War.

His Majesty specifically mentioned these few people
Meng Shifei seemed thoughtful, then tentatively asked, "Does Your Majesty have any other plans?"

The Supreme Emperor nodded, then suddenly coughed and said, "Those who understand me are wise! I do have a task for you this time."

Meng Shifei quickly bowed: "Your Majesty, please speak!"

[Let's examine the personalities and appearances of these goddesses, inquire about their karmic connections and relationships, and also sound out the intentions of these gods.]

Although Meng Shifei had a premonition, she still couldn't help but pause in surprise, her expression somewhat strange as she asked, "Your Majesty, are you... choosing concubines?"

The Supreme Heavenly Emperor nodded helplessly, then turned to look at the Three Realms and said: "The current situation in the Heavenly Court has changed drastically, with the power struggle between the old and new forces intensifying. It is the time for me to reclaim my imperial power!"

So now I need more support!

If these fellows are willing to help me, then what harm is there in offering my body to them?

In short, Shanghao wants to find someone to form a marriage alliance, and try to bind more gods to his war chariot and engage in deeper cooperation with them.

After all, from ancient times to the present, marriage has always been the most effective means of binding relationships!
Shanghao was not used before because He was cursed with misfortune and destined to be a victim of the great calamity of heaven and earth. Anyone who dared to marry into His family would be committing suicide. Those established powers would avoid Him as soon as possible, let alone dare to form a marriage alliance with Him.

But the situation is different now.

The Buddhist sect, the demonic land, and the Jade Void Palace have all entered the tribulation. The Supreme Emperor Haotian is no longer the first to be subject to the tribulation. There are many more heads to be placed with Him, and it is really hard to say who will live and who will die.

Moreover, Jade Void Palace was determined to perish together with everyone, dragging everyone into the great calamity!

Therefore, an earth-shattering war is bound to break out in the Three Realms. Whether it is Buddhism, the Demonic Path, the Heavenly Court, or the Jade Void Palace, all are at risk of being wiped out.

If we don't get through this hurdle first, how can we talk about the future?

In any case, the Supreme Emperor is the nominal ruler of the Heavenly Court. If one could form a marriage alliance with Him, it might be possible to determine the rise and fall, life and death of a family!

So maybe quite a few people will actually be tempted.

Upon realizing this, Meng Shifei quickly squeezed out tears and sobbed, "Your Majesty, I am ashamed! Not only am I unable to relieve Your Majesty's worries, but I have also forced Your Majesty to personally sacrifice your body to feed the tiger!"

[Your Majesty, I am utterly incompetent!]

[Woooooo! 】

The Supreme Emperor Haotian declared with righteous indignation: "There's a saying in Buddhism: 'If I don't go to hell, who will?' Now, to restore imperial power, this is the only option left."

【But remember, I don't eat everything. Once you get there, carefully examine these goddesses; they can't be too bad.】

【Yes! 】

Thus, Meng Shifei happily carried the Heavenly Emperor's decree and arrived at the divine seat of the Great Emperor of Mount Tai in the East.

[Emperor Taishan Huang Feihu, accompanied by his junior disciple Huang Ling, pays respects to the special envoy!]

Huang Xiaobai Ling knew the most crucial moment had arrived; the success of the task entrusted to her by Master Li Wei depended on this. So she quickly and respectfully said, "Goddess, greetings to the special envoy!"

Meng Shifei laughed heartily: "Both of you are true gods of my Heavenly Court lineage, no need for formalities! Let's proceed directly with the inspection and conferment process."

Huang Feihu was slightly taken aback: "Isn't His Majesty holding the palace examination in the Lingxiao Palace?"

If His Majesty goes to the palace examination, he will essentially become the examiner of these new gods. Once he has this master-disciple relationship, how will He choose his concubines?

If word gets out, will His Majesty's reputation be ruined?

Meng Shifei chuckled and said, "Hehehe, in times of emergency, one must act expediently. Besides, the Emperor of Mount Tai is an elder of my Heavenly Court; your descendant His Majesty naturally trusts him!"

Huang Feihu felt something was wrong, but he couldn't go against Meng Shifei's insistence, so he quickly completed a series of procedures, including the conferment of the title.

Get better soon.

The explanation is that there were no surprises and the process was standard. The title was a pre-registered title in the Heavenly Court, not a custom-made title like Li Wei's. Even if there are pitfalls, they are limited!
The Heavenly Dao 0.81 hidden within Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief, having finally completed its master's task without any major incident.

Little White was also very happy. From now on, I can become my master's alternate identity. How wonderful!

Just as He was thinking about how to curry favor with Li Wei, He suddenly noticed that the fat man in front of him was scrutinizing him from head to toe with a critical look.

evil!
Xiao Bai felt a chill run down his spine: "Lord Meng, is there something you need that's causing you to look at me like that?"

Meng Shifei chuckled: "May I ask, fairy, are you married? What are your birth details?"

Huang Feihu's face immediately turned ashen, and he stared intently at him, saying, "What does Lord Meng mean by asking this?"

Meng Shifei quickly waved his hand: "Hey, Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand. I'm asking on behalf of His Majesty. His Majesty intends to arrange a marriage alliance, so..."

Upon hearing the words "marriage alliance," Xiao Bai and Tiandao 0.81 were struck dumb, their scalps tingling, and they couldn't even hear what Meng Shifei was saying afterward.
