Pre-Qin Mythology: Starting with the River God

Lianshan!

Taoism...

So this is the true path to immortality.

This is probably the biggest difference between high-ranking immortals and ordinary immortals!

Shao Siming really gave him a great gift.

The power granted by the High Priest to compensate him for the loss of souls over a hundred years in the Quanshui River Basin... was nothing compared to the power of the High Priest. It's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish.

Of course, Quan Ming also respected the impartiality of the Grand Master of Destiny.

In contrast, he had rendered meritorious service by intercepting the immortals of Luo Kingdom, and Shao Siming did not want to deal with Mo Ao. This merit was reported by Zhang Xian, but three days have passed and the reward he was due has not yet appeared, which is truly disheartening.

"This Qu Xia..."

Quan Ming smiled and shook his head. In fact, with this method of physiognomy, he didn't expect Qu Xia to come up with anything good.

Unexpectedly, Qu Xia was even more ruthless, refusing to part with a single hair.

"Qu Xia, Mo Ao... they're bullying me, this little narcissus who was posthumously honored, not because I'm alive."

"The immortals and gods prioritize the prosperity of the Chu Kingdom's fortune."

"The living should fulfill their own destiny. Otherwise, even if I am just a lowly soldier, I must be rewarded by the Mo'ao. Otherwise, how can the living be motivated to charge into battle?"

——Chu Di’s Will·32257——

This is Quan Ming's will of Chu at this moment. When the divine decree to escort the ships was completed, the six thousand wills of Chu promised by Dao Tian had already descended.

Furthermore, because Quan Ming had rendered meritorious service in protecting the enemy, an additional four thousand men were dismissed as a token of appreciation.

With the recent small favors he's done to help ships, his Chu territory will now number 30,000, enough for him to make a proper plan.

Will of Chudi-10000

The will of the Hundred Paths of Chu can transform into a wisp of Daoist essence, akin to that of immortals and

The will of Chu is consumed when used, but the Dao essence only occupies it and returns after use, accumulating in the sea of ​​will of immortals and gods. Even if one dies and is reborn, only the divine body is damaged, and the Dao essence still exists...

It can be said that the essence of immortals and gods lies in the Daoist philosophy.

At this moment, Quan Ming channeled the will of ten thousand paths into himself, adding a hundred strands of Dao rhyme, bringing his total to two hundred Dao rhymes.

As for why it was added at this time?

The foundation of the Hundred Threads of Daoist Rhyme is the basis for condensing the Daoist Image. Even a person without virtue can gather a [Minister Yin Child Image] ten feet high. This is the lower limit. Of course, the [Minister Yin Child Image] of a person without virtue is not in harmony with their heart. It is like thin paper, which will break at the slightest touch and is of no use.

Those who possess virtue and conform to the standards of a "minister and son" in the eyes of "humanity" will receive an amplification of their Daoist qualities.

According to Shao Siming, there are nine ranks in total, and each rank will double the power of the Dao Aspect. This is the upper limit and is called [Aspect Nature]!

They are compatible in nature and have the Daoist principles as their foundation.

At this moment, Quan Ming, with his third-order aura and two hundred Dao rhymes, can condense a Dao image of six and a half zhang, or one zhang, three meters, and three fen, which is nearly twenty meters tall.

You can cross the stream simply by stepping on it.

You can raise your hand and use a tree as a walking stick.

It's like the giant Kuafu in ancient legends, chasing the sun.

……

Feeling the power brought by the Dao Image, Quan Ming took a deep breath, feeling increasingly at ease... Because gods live for hundreds of years, even if he suffers a defeat in this war between the Zhou emperor and Chu, he can still use the power of the Dao Image to start over, giving him the confidence to overcome any setback and prevent him from losing everything because of one defeat...

This is something Quan Ming has always been worried about.

It is conceivable that if the Chu state were to suffer a defeat in the war, it would be forced to confront the Yong and Luo states directly, making it difficult for it to recover and rebuild amidst the chaos.

If the State of Chu wins... with the momentum of victory, Xiong Tong, as the King of Chu, will surely press his advantage and seize the State of Luo.

At that time, Luo will become the second powerful nation.

With the arrival of the second Quan state, the importance of Quan land in the eyes of the King of Chu diminished. It was no longer an irreplaceable place, and he would no longer accommodate the Quan people. At that time, Quan Ming... it would be difficult for him to protect Quan people amidst the covetous eyes of the clans.

Therefore... Quan Ming absolutely cannot afford to fail.

But now it's different; there's a Daoist manifestation.

In this world where strength matters everywhere, Quan Di has a powerful guardian deity, so even without Quan Ming's intervention, those people will still be wary...

Receive!

The closed-eyed Daoist image dissipated into mist under Quan Ming's control. Under the night sky, the mist reflected the stars, sparkling and shimmering, before falling into the rippling water. Due to harmony, the surface remained calm.

call……

The wind blows.

Quan Mingyu steered the small boat slowly toward the Corpse Domain... Tonight, besides testing his cultivation results, there was another secret matter to attend to.

In the Corpse Domain—

Before the headless corpse, a mass of flesh and blood was shrouded in black mist.

The flesh and veins were grotesque, pounding like a heart, and within it seemed to be the sound of cursing, but it quickly disappeared into the black mist.

Quan Ming landed by boat.

This place was originally the water palace of the immortal, but it was destroyed and is now just a ruin. Because of the black mist and golden patterns, it is not clear from the outside world, so it was not rebuilt. The water flow was blocked, and a temporary altar was built in the center.

The headless corpse, holding a long spear and a broken horn, rose to greet Quan Ming's arrival.

Quan Ming slowly disembarked from the small boat.

Nodding slightly, he and his own corpse no longer needed such formalities. He approached the flesh and blood noodle stand and said in a deep voice, "Is the piece of flesh and blood I cut off from the previous Quan Shui Shui Xian satisfactory?"

The previous Quan Shui Shui Xian was the giant python that became a spirit and was bestowed the title of Shui Xian... In the forbidden area of ​​Quan Kingdom, he was lured by Quan Ming with a bronze mural and killed as a sacrifice to prevent him from seizing the remaining Quan Kingdom Dao Tian and condensing it into the sacrificial artifact of the Shang descendants, the Xuan Niao Seal.

At this moment, Quan Ming has obtained the power to guide the souls of the dead in the Quan Shui waters.

The soul of the giant python that died in Quan Di fell into his hands again... In truth, Quan Ming didn't know whether it was fate or destiny, but he had no intention of wasting it. Three days ago, after killing Luo Shui Shui Xian and cutting off Luo Xian's divine body and flesh, he sealed it with divine power to keep the body and flesh from completely dissipating...

Generally speaking, this divine body is useless to him.

But it's a great tonic for spirits and monsters... It's a bit of a pity that when he killed Lord Jingshan in the Water Palace, he didn't leave any flesh and blood behind... Otherwise, his spirits and monsters could have eaten it and increased their cultivation.

Of course, leaving Luo Xian's flesh and blood behind this time was not to allow the giant python's soul to increase its cultivation.

Flesh and blood cannot benefit the soul.

The only thing that flesh and blood are useful to the soul is attachment, the possession of another body to return to life.

But to revive a deity whose corpse is about to dissipate... the corpse is created by the Dao and Heaven, and is not flesh and blood in the absolute sense. This method is not so easy to succeed.

But Quan Ming has a way...

He still has a Luo Kingdom immortal god at the first level of the Dao Heaven realm suppressed in his hands—the Luo Bird Immortal Spirit!

Rumble!

A black light emanated from the broken horn in the headless corpse's hand, piercing into the surrounding black mist and golden patterns. The sound of chains being pulled echoed from within the corpse domain. With these chains, a black raven with a weakened aura was dragged out and landed not far from the flesh and blood.

The fairy spirit of the bird.

Decades ago, after the early death of the crown prince of Luo Kingdom, Luo Jun bestowed upon him the title of Luo Kingdom Immortal God.

Since there was no further news after reporting to Qu Xia, Quan Ming did not send the immortal spirit to Mo Ao. Of course, he had not intended to do so in the first place.

This celestial being was of great use to him.

This was his chance to infiltrate Luo!
