Cultivating Immortals in Two Realms, I Possessed the Primordial Thunder Vine

Chapter 100 Thunder Ancestor Temple! Incense as Firewood

Even though the contact was brief, within Xu Changjun's soul, colorful specks of light danced in the flames of faith, appearing like twinkling starlight and giving a dreamlike feeling.

However, these seemingly dazzling and beautiful lights are a deadly poison to cultivators, binding your steps and making it difficult for you to unite your body and soul and continue to climb the path of cultivation.

These things are the true impurities of the mortal world, which cannot be cleansed.

However, just as the surging flames of faith spread throughout the entire divine soul space, suddenly, a pyramid fell from the void, and the flames of faith were swallowed up by the entire pyramid.

A pure, flawless white light ignited at the very top of the tower—a purified flame of faith.

Immediately, all the incense smoke was vaporized and slowly dispersed into the air, gathering together and compressing into a shape, like a condensed droplet of liquid, as if it might fall at any moment, and just floated there quietly.

"These droplets represent the purest spiritual power within the incense and religious practices."

Looking at the single drop of soul power floating around the pyramid, Xu Changjun's eyes gleamed. This was the core secret of the Three-Eyed Man's Pyramid of Gods!

Outsiders worship gods, while others worship me as a god!

Because of their powerful supernatural abilities, the Three-Eyed Clan had become an exceptionally gifted race in the ancient primordial era, enslaving countless other races and building a pyramid of divine souls for them.

The Three-Eyed Clan, with their powerful racial nature, purified these sacred offerings, removing nine-tenths and leaving only the purest divine soul essence, thus enabling them to exploit other races even more recklessly.

Xu Changjun seized control of the legitimate emperor of the Southern Li Kingdom, but as the decree was issued, many sacrificial pyramids were soon built throughout the country, corresponding to the divine pyramids in his mind, and began to purify the power of incense offerings.

Of course, the emperor was not without desires. After witnessing Xu Changjun's power to suppress everything, he developed the idea of ​​seeking immortality and longevity.

He even had the idea of ​​abandoning the throne to cultivate immortality.

As a bargaining chip for fair trade, Xu Changjun said that if he could make a great contribution, it wouldn't be impossible for him to go to the Upper Realm of Spiritual Cultivation.

However, in the mortal realm, it is a taboo for an emperor to cultivate immortality.

At the same time, Xu Changjun also supplemented the cultivation systems of those courtiers in the palace, giving them tangible benefits and making them work even harder to build up Xu Changjun's divine power.

In no time, the name of "Nine Heavens Responding to the Origin of Thunder and Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable" resounded throughout the entire Southern Li Kingdom, and with official support, the construction of pyramids in various places proceeded extremely rapidly.

Tempted by cultivation resources, some cultivators voluntarily joined. After being selected by Xu Changjun, they became the presiding priests of the Thunder Ancestor Temples in various places, filling the ranks of the regions. In a short period of time, he gathered a large number of believers, and the Thunder Ancestor Temple became the number one religious force in the Southern Li Kingdom.

The main deity enshrined in the Thunder Ancestor Temple is naturally the Heavenly Venerable of Universal Transformation of Thunder Sound in the Nine Heavens, and below are the positions of the many Thunder Department generals.

Of course, these positions are currently vacant and will require time to develop.

The Pyramid of the Gods enslaved all spirits, and the rituals that conferred titles upon the gods were all handed over to the Three-Eyed Tribe's servants, or rather, attendants of the gods.

As long as there is enough incense offering, it is entirely possible to confer titles upon deities.

In fact, Xu Changjun built pyramids throughout the entire territory of the Southern Li Kingdom to collect the power of divine incense offerings, and then purified it through the pyramids. This was the very step he was aiming for.

He needs to establish his own foothold in this mortal realm, and then gradually rise up to gain a firm foothold in the cultivation world.

Having gained a foothold in the prehistoric world, Xu Changjun was not satisfied with the small Xu family. Even the vast Yundong Lake was nothing more than a small stinking ditch in his eyes. But to accomplish these things, establishing a solid foundation was crucial.

……

Since Xu Changjun has a bright future ahead of him, there is naturally no need for him to follow the path of incense and deity, nor does he need the incense offerings of the masses.

However, this concentrated incense power has a unique effect on the pyramid of the Three-Eyed Clan's natal deity, and can be said to be the foundation of all paths.

The purified incense power, aided by the might of the Divine Pyramid, allowed Xu Changjun to independently differentiate a primordial consciousness within his consciousness space. Using the incense power as a catalyst and the endless calculation and deduction capabilities of the Divine Pyramid, this consciousness became the fuel that propelled Xu Changjun's comprehension of the cultivation technique.

Moreover, its various functions and effects are astonishing. It can accelerate the derivation of cultivation techniques, the simulation of formations, and even the identification and correction of the entire operating system. Many problems such as simulation calculations can be solved through practice using this divine pyramid.

This is the crucial point for Xu Changjun.

In the primordial era, the Three-Eyed Clan rose to power because they possessed a divine pyramid that was practically a magic artifact, thanks to their inherent advantage.

Xu Changyun has found a shortcut in cultivation techniques, which allows him to quickly master various spells and immortal arts, so the power of incense offerings is indispensable.

In the short term, this item will be just as important to him as his natal spiritual root, the Thunder Vine.

After all, mastering a brand new technique greatly improves efficiency and can be considered a significant improvement in one's cultivation path.

With Xu Changjun, a cultivator at the Purple Mansion stage from the Upper Realm, overseeing the suppression of all dissent, the plan in the Southern Li Kingdom was quickly implemented.

Especially the cultivators in the offering halls of the royal family, after tasting the small benefits that Xu Changyun casually offered, were tempted by the prospect of breaking through their cultivation levels and out of awe for powerful cultivators. They did not resist Xu Changyun's orders at all, but instead did their best to complete them.

Moreover, among all the cultivators in Nanli Kingdom, after being selected by Xu Changjun, they were all merged into the Thunder Ancestor Palace.

News frequently circulated, especially about several elderly cultivators whose cultivation levels were still stuck at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, seemingly having lost all possibility of breaking through. However, they successfully broke through after joining the Thunder Ancestor Palace, which attracted the attention of many cultivators, who expressed great enthusiasm to join the Thunder Ancestor Palace.

As later cultivators, it was naturally impossible to join as easily as before. The selection process for the Thunder Ancestor Palace became more stringent, requiring the completion of a series of tasks and passing through layers of screening before cultivators who met the requirements could join.

Times have changed. Xu Changjun now holds many trump cards, making his Thunder Ancestor Palace a highly sought-after prize compared to the impoverished cultivators of the lower realm.

They possess a great deal of initiative and control.

Even with such stringent conditions, many cultivators still hope to join.

Joining the Thunder Ancestor's Palace would grant them access to breakthrough techniques and cultivation resources supplied by the entire nation. Although it required sacrificing loyalty and some freedom, with Xu Changjun in charge, it wasn't a bad deal for them.
