Entering the Investiture of the Gods, starting by controlling the three calamities of wind and thund
Chapter 4: The Great Shang Territory, Chen Tang Pass in the East China Sea!
It is said that Xin Huan summoned his Wind and Fire Wings, emerged from the Immortal Island of Yunmengze, passed through the Nine Heavens Gale, and with the help of the clouds, soared straight into the Nine Heavens beyond the clouds. He then flew eastward for tens of thousands of miles until he saw the vast ocean. Only then did he land and gather up his attire.
"On another note!"
"I had just taken human form and hadn't even had time to tidy up my appearance when I stayed in the Yunmeng Marsh for eight or nine years."
"Fortunately, few people travel in Yunmeng Marsh, and the White Ape is a demon who knows nothing of propriety or shame. Otherwise, my naked body would probably be considered indecent."
Xin Huan smiled. In Yunmeng Marsh, he usually covered his body with green ivy and vines, which was quite unseemly, but it was a temporary measure and difficult to explain in detail.
Now that he has traveled to the human realm and entered the human kingdom, he naturally cannot reveal his original form. Otherwise, with his ferocious appearance, he would probably frighten many mortals.
Xin Huan's original appearance was his original form, which could be considered the law body of an innate god-demon body. He was a fierce god, so his innate appearance was naturally not kind; he looked fierce and strange!
Xin Huan landed on the ground, then turned around, chanting incantations to gather the wind and fire energies, surrounding herself completely before transforming.
In the blink of an eye, changes have occurred again.
Then, a Taoist priest appeared on the ground!
This person was nine feet tall, with a wooden hairpin in his hair, wearing a blue and red monastic robe, cloud-patterned shoes, and a delicate jeweled belt around his waist.
He had a pair of fierce eyebrows, bright phoenix eyes, sharp teeth, red lips, a long beard that seemed to fly like fire under his forehead, and short, unkempt red hair at his temples. His face was as fierce as a general in a red robe, but his clothes were different.
"With my natural appearance, even if I were to take human form, I'm afraid I would look quite ferocious. If I were to frighten people on the street, that would be my fault."
Xin Huan shook his head. As a fierce god born of nature, his ferocious appearance actually made it easier for him to act. After tidying himself up, he came to the human world.
"This place is adjacent to the vast ocean, with boundless terrain. I have been traveling eastward along the Yunmeng Marsh, soaring like a dragon entering the sea. Now, looking around, I have no idea where I am or where to find my people."
After a moment's thought, Xin Huan made up his mind. He planned to walk along the coastline to see what he could find. If he encountered anyone, things would be much easier.
"Now that we have come to the human world, we must first find out what year it is and which human emperor is in charge of this human world."
Xin Huan had just transformed into human form and entered the world, and then stayed in the mountains for eight or nine years. He didn't know what year it was, or which emperor was in power in this land.

Having found his direction, Xin Huan immediately followed the coastline upstream, continuing for over a thousand kilometers.
As the sun began to set, Xin Huan, aided by its last rays, finally saw a majestic pass stretching across the distant mountain pass.
"What a majestic pass! What magnificent mountains!"
"This formidable pass is nestled between two mountains, strategically located at a crucial juncture, making it easy to defend and difficult to attack; it is undoubtedly a vital military stronghold."
Xin Huan also saw the secret: this formidable pass was no ordinary place. Its walls were towering, about a hundred feet high, and were inscribed with celestial talismans, forming a seamless whole.
The entire layout was exceptionally meticulous. The bluestone on the city gate gleamed with an eerie light, as if it were cast from refined iron. Armored soldiers patrolled above, each clad in armor and wielding sharp weapons, creating a somber atmosphere.
"Chen Tang Pass, a major trading post!"
"I've actually arrived in the East China Sea?"
Xin Huan glanced around and immediately saw the name on the city gate. The majestic pass in front of him, stretching for hundreds of miles, was none other than Chen Tang Pass, a major merchant city in the East China Sea region!
The Shang Dynasty's kingdom spanned an immense and boundless territory!
From Kunlun in the west to the vast ocean in the east, numerous formidable passes were built along the way to defend against foreign enemies and resist calamities.
Chen Tang Pass is adjacent to the East China Sea and often confronts the demons of the East China Sea, so its terrain is extremely dangerous.
The general of Chentang Pass was named Li Jing. He was a disciple of the Taoist master Xikunlun Du'e. In his youth, he went into the mountains to study Taoism, but due to a lack of affinity with immortality, he was unable to attain immortality. Therefore, he went down the mountain to enter the world and seek wealth and honor.
Although it was difficult for Li Jing to achieve immortality, he was born with good fortune. After descending the mountain, he won the favor of the princess of the court with his talent and skills.
For Li Jing, Yin Jiao did not hesitate to lower herself and marry him, becoming his wife.
With Lady Yin as his guarantor, Li Jing's official position rose higher and higher. When Emperor Xin ascended the throne, he promoted his confidants extensively, and he also promoted this brother-in-law to the position of general of Chentang Pass.
Li Jingye is now married and holds the official position of General of Chentang Pass. He has two sons, Jinzha and Muzha, and recently it was heard that Lady Yin is pregnant.
At this time, inside Chentang Pass.
Li Jing glanced at the sky and shook his head. The weather had been too abnormal these past few days.
"Why is the weather so strange this year? Normally, around the time of the Awakening of Insects, all things grow, but the weather outside is getting hotter and hotter every day!"
"I hear the first rumble of spring thunder, but see no gentle rain. With spring planting just around the corner, I am filled with unease."
Li Jing looked up at the sky. For the past few days, there had been thunder but no rain, and not even a single cloud in the sky. This sight was so distressing that it almost made him cry.
"My husband, don't worry!"
"Perhaps the weather will be unpredictable these next few days, so it's not too late to wait a few more days and see!"
"As for spring plowing, give the order to let them get started and then see how things go."
When Lady Yin came to Li Jing's side, perhaps because she was pregnant, she exuded a maternal glow.
"Madam, why are you out again?"
When Li Jing saw Lady Yin come out, he hurriedly went forward. Ever since he became pregnant with his youngest son, he had encountered one difficulty after another, as if the heavens were against him.
It is springtime for plowing, and in the Chentang Pass area, only thunder can be heard from the sky, but not a drop of rain can be seen.
As the saying goes, spring rain is as precious as oil!
Without the nourishment of spring rain, spring farming production is restricted, which will make this year's harvest difficult.
"There has been no rain this year since the Awakening of Insects, and I fear the summer months will be dry and barren. I was just about to petition Your Majesty to hold a religious ceremony at Chentang Pass to pray for a good rain for the people, so that the people may be saved and the region may not be disturbed."
"What do you think, Madam?"
Li Jing looked at Madam Yin. Yin Jiao was the eldest daughter of Emperor Yi of the Shang Dynasty and also the Grand Princess of the Great Shang. With her personally intervening, there was still room for maneuver in this matter.
Upon hearing this, Lady Yin immediately replied with delight, "My husband serves the country and its people; how could I not be compassionate towards him?"
"In a few days, a messenger from the court will arrive. I will then present my case and explain the reasons. I believe His Majesty, knowing this, will surely agree!"
The Bluebird Envoy mentioned by Lady Yin was the eyes and ears of the Shang Dynasty, also known as the legendary Bluebird.
The Heavenly Mandate sent the Black Bird down to give birth to the Shang Dynasty, which settled in the vast land of Yin. The ancient Emperor commanded Wu Tang to govern the four directions.
During the Shang Dynasty, the Black Bird was used as a totem, hence the eyes and ears of the emperor, also known as the Azure Bird Envoy.
As the old saying goes!
The journey to Pengshan is not far, and the Azure Bird is diligently scouting ahead. As the envoy of the Human Emperor, the Azure Bird can tour the entire Great Shang Dynasty and take in all its customs and traditions.
"Good, good!"
"With your help, my wife, I have nothing to worry about!"
"If all else fails, I'll personally travel to the East Sea to visit my fellow Daoist!"
"Then, we'll ask him to borrow some rain!"
Li Jing and the Dragon King of the East Sea were sworn brothers. If his prayer for rain failed this time, he was prepared to ask Ao Guang for a favor and to get some benefits.
With this in mind, Li Jing made another plan!
