Chapter 82 Sacrificing to Heaven, the Wonders of Divine Sense! (Second Update, Please Subscribe and Vote)

At this moment, it wasn't just the gods of Longmen who were shocked.

Even on the wasteland, the Zhu Xiang clan, the Yunyang clan, and others were astonished by the power of the Great Wilderness Seal.

They can refine various kinds of malevolent energy to some extent, but they cannot transform these malevolent energies into usable spiritual energies; these are two completely different tasks.

As for the Great Wilderness Seal itself, they certainly do not possess such great power; otherwise, the Duowen clan would have been famous throughout the Three Realms long ago.

However, it was no secret that the Taiyi Clan in Longmen could refine the evil energy of heaven and earth for their own use, but the scale of their transformation between different spiritual energies was still astonishing.

While others were shocked, Ju Ling Shi, Ju Jiang, Li Ling Shi, and others were overjoyed.

In time, this place will surpass the main peak of the Longmen Mountains and become a great holy land of Longmen, further enhancing the prestige of the Longmen human race!

Once the Great Wilderness Seal was settled, Li Lingshi, Ju Jiang, and others immediately rose up and, along with many human deities, began to set up the mountain range that had been transformed from the artifact of a divine ruler.

The palaces are already in place, and are integrated with the Great Wilderness Seal, belonging to the Great Wilderness Seal's transformation, but some other arrangements are still needed.

For example, pavilions and towers also need to be planted with some exotic flowers and rare plants, and so on.

Let Li Ling and the others make their arrangements, Tai Yi smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, please come inside for a chat!"

Yunyang and the others nodded with smiles and followed Taiyi into the Great Wilderness Mountain Range, arriving at the central peak.

On a broad platform atop the peak lies a rock inscribed with Taoist characters as sharp as iron hooks and as graceful as dragons and phoenixes: Five Treasures Peak.

The crowd stopped to look at the Taoist inscriptions on the rocks, trying to understand the profound Tao contained within them.

After observing, Yunyang couldn't help but laugh and say, "Fellow Daoist Taiyi is about to become a Divine Lord, congratulations!"

Zhu Xiangshi and others also offered their congratulations to Taiyi.

Just by looking at these few Daoist inscriptions, they already knew that Taiyi's attainments in the Dao of the Five Elements and the Dao of Sword had reached the Divine Lord Dao Realm.

Tai Yi humbly replied, "I apologize for showing off like this; I hope you will all forgive me."

That is incorrect.

The envoy from the Dragon Clan laughed and said, "When we cultivate and comprehend the Dao, enlightenment is one thing, and practice is another. As the saying goes, knowing is easy but doing is difficult. Fellow Daoist, you practice the Dao everywhere, and this is not just showing off."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The group crossed the square and arrived in front of a five-colored palace. The plaque above the palace gate had gilded Taoist inscriptions: Palace of One Qi!

This time, Yunyang and the others observed not only the Taoist inscriptions on the gate plaque, but the entire palace.

Because they discovered that the palace was actually a manifestation of Taoism.

Not to mention the envoys from the Zhu Xiang clan, the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans, even the Yi Di clan, whose cultivation was the highest among them, and the Hou Tu clan, whose cultivation was extremely profound, were all captivated at this moment.

At a glance, Julingshi recognized it as a Daoist image transformed from the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman, and immediately transmitted his voice: "Brother, this is the foundational method for you."

"I may not understand it, but others may not."

Taiyi laughed and said, "No problem. The Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is everywhere, but all living beings have their own attainments, varying in strength and weakness. Besides, with our level of cultivation and attainment, what secrets could we possibly have?"

"Furthermore, everyone is different. Even those who study the same path will have very different thoughts and ideas. The insights that my elder brother, Ao Qing, and others have gained have been of great help to me."

"As the saying goes, one person's wisdom is limited, but the wisdom of many is superior; that's all!"

Upon hearing this, Julingshi immediately understood Taiyishi's intentions and found them to be quite reasonable, so he was no longer worried.

Ultimately, the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman is a unique supernatural power, formed by a fortuitous coincidence. Due to the characteristics of Xuanhuang merit, this supernatural power is also like an invisible and intangible talisman treasure.

The mysteries of the Primordial Qi are so profound that even the Gods may not be able to comprehend them, let alone others.

Taiyi asked himself if he would have succeeded without the help of the Daoshu tree.

Moreover, as he cultivated, this supernatural power became increasingly profound, encompassing all the mysteries of the Dao that he had mastered, including the profound principles of the Seven Souls that he had just discovered.

But how many people in the Three Realms and Heavens truly know the secrets of the Seven Souls?

……

Taiyi looked at the group of people who were lost in thought, and he was full of anticipation.

Houtu, needless to say, was a primordial deity.

Yunyang was a primordial being who had taken human form and was proficient in the Way of the Sun and the Way of Water.

Zhu Xiangshi is at the level of a divine lord. Xin Yunzi and Weng Yi are both divine lords. They are nothing special in the Three Realms and Heavens, but they are definitely not bad.

In addition, there are the Divine Lord Yidi, as well as the various divine lords and true gods of the dragon, phoenix, and qilin clans.

There is also Hui Kui Shi, who is now a true god. In terms of comprehension, he surpasses Zhu You, Ao Qingren, and others.

After all, he was the one who created the Life Spring Realm.

Therefore, Taiyi was very much looking forward to seeing what insights these people would gain.

It doesn't need to be a lot; just a little from each person, gathered together, will form a small stream.

a few days later.

One by one, the Emperor Yi and others awoke.

"Observing this manifestation of the Dao surpasses my cultivation over the past hundreds of years!"

Hui Kui was deeply moved.

Everyone nodded in agreement, each with their own insights, and they praised it endlessly.

Taiyi smiled and led everyone into the hall to take their seats. Liling immediately led many goddesses of the human race to serve melons, fruits, and fragrant tea. The Dharma assembly began, and everyone shared what they had just learned.

In an instant, all sorts of Taoist phenomena appeared in the main hall, manifesting wondrous images of the universe, each different and absolutely magnificent.

Not to mention the Li Ling clan and others who were accompanying them, even the Tai Yi clan, who was the host, was completely captivated.

These people did not disappoint him; they each gained something, though not exactly the same.

For example, what Huikui Shi comprehended was the application of divine consciousness.

The so-called divine consciousness, also known as the consciousness spirit, is the acquired spirit derived from the primordial spirit, the desire spirit.

All of the seven emotions and six desires of human beings are contained within this.

What Huikui obtained was simply the use of divine consciousness to create illusions, absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and interfere with reality with his thoughts. He almost used the power of divine consciousness as magic power.

This was something Taiyi had never encountered before, and this made him think of the power of sacrifice.

The essence of sacrificial power is the power of the thoughts of all living beings, which is actually the power of the consciousness of all living beings.

……

And then there was Yunyang, who actually touched upon the profound Dao of Yin arising from Yang.

Of course, what Taiyi clan looked forward to the most were Houtu clan and Yidi clan.

Unfortunately, time flies too fast.

Before it was even their turn, a new era had already begun.

The Human Emperor's Era, the twelfth era, has finally arrived.

This day is also the day for offering sacrifices to Heaven.

Huang Shenshi also led a group of people from the Tianheng Mountains to attend the ceremony.

Within the Longmen Mountains, all the gods have gathered.

Many chieftains of human tribes within the Longmen Mountains, as well as chieftains of other acquired races, were also brought over by Ju Jiang and his group.

To exaggerate a bit, one could even say that a gathering of wise men had arrived.

The ceremony temporarily ended, and Taiyi and others left the main hall. At this time, two altars had been raised in the square.

One of them is an altar for worshipping Heaven and Earth, with twelve layers.

Above are statues of the Human Emperor and the Earth Mother Goddess.

The second is the altar for worshipping the Five Dragons, the first ancestor of the Five-Colored Human Race, which has nine layers.

Above is a statue of the Five Dragons.

This time, the Taiyi clan invited the Huangshen clan to serve as priests and preside over the sacrificial ceremony.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, and guided by Huang Shenshi, Taiyi solemnly ascended the twelve-tiered altar, standing before the statues of the Human Emperor and the Earth Mother Yuanjun. He led Jujiang, along with many tribal chiefs of the human race and the chiefs of the acquired races below the altar, to bow down in unison at Huang Shenshi's shout.

Huang Shenshi's voice also spread throughout the entire Longmen Mountains.

Human tribes and other tribes of later generations also bowed down to the statues of the Human Emperor and the Earth Mother Goddess.

Huang Shenshi began reciting the sacrificial text in his hand, informing the world that the Taiyi Clan had unified the human race in the Longmen Mountains and ruled over many other acquired races.

However, the expressions of Guang Qi and the other gods of Longmen were not very pleasant as they listened to the sacrificial text recited by Huang Shenshi.

If it weren't for the demigods, they would have truly become a godless bunch.

Unfortunately, it was too late to turn the tide.

After the sacrificial text was finished, Huang Shenshi shouted loudly, his voice resounding in all directions.

"Festival!"

The Taiyi clan, the human race, and even the Zhuxiang and Yunyang clans who came to observe the ceremony all bowed and kowtowed to the statues of the Human Emperor and the Earth Mother Yuanjun.

In an instant.

The surging sacrificial power shrouded the entire Longmen Mountains, like mist and clouds, like a vast ocean, surging and rolling.

The sacrificial text in Huang Shenshi's hand also flew up, merging into the sacrificial power, permeating the void, and disappearing.

There was no response for a short time.

But no response is a response in itself!

Huang Shenshi then shouted loudly, "The ceremony is complete!"

Tai Yi took the lead, and everyone stood up.

But it's not over yet.

Next is the worship of the Five Dragons, the first ancestor of the Five-Colored Human Race, following the same procedure as before.

However, this time, the Hou Tu clan, Yun Yang clan, and others who came to observe the ceremony did not join in the worship of the Five Dragons clan.

They were subjects of the Human Emperor and the Earth Mother Yuanjun, but not of the Five Dragon Clan.

After the sacrifice to the Five Dragons, under the leadership of the chiefs and leaders of various human tribes and acquired races, including the Yanzi clan, and guided by the temple priests who had long been distributed among the tribes, the people were able to participate in the rituals.

Many human tribes and acquired races in the Longmen Mountains worshipped Taiyi, chanting "God Taiyi" in unison, their voices resounding across the land and reaching the clouds.

At the same time, the immense power of the sacrificial ceremony appeared for the third time.

This time, everyone who witnessed the ceremony was shocked.

Because the power of this sacrifice far surpassed that of the previous two.

It's not about quantity, it's about quality!

Tai Yi was not surprised.

The Human Emperor and the Earth Mother are far-reaching figures. As for their great achievements in quelling the darkness and chaos and establishing a new divine order, only the gods have witnessed them over the long course of time. Mortals only live for eight hundred years. Even if their ancestors pass down their stories, how many people can truly empathize with them and sincerely worship the Human Emperor and the Earth Mother?

Taiyi has been presiding over the sacrifices for hundreds of years. The quality of the sacrifices made by ordinary people to the Human Emperor and the Earth Mother is far inferior to that of the gods of the Longmen Mountains.

However, the quality of the sacrifices to the gods of the Longmen Mountains was not as good as that of the Five Dragons Clan.

Although the Five Dragons Clan was also high above, the Five Dragons Divine Mantra was passed down to protect human tribes from fighting fierce beasts.

But now his sacrificial power is of higher quality than that of the Five Dragons Clan because he does more.

This is simply human nature!

The sacrificial power surged forth, and a halo rose behind Taiyi's head, within which a grotto appeared, completely devouring the sacrificial power.

Immediately, Hou Tu, Yi Di, and others saw the sacrificial power, like clouds, surging and changing within the cave.

Everyone was taken aback, because the change in the sacrificial power was exactly the use of divine consciousness that Hui Kui had previously comprehended.

Hui Kui Shi exclaimed in admiration, "Brother Taiyi is truly a genius!"

At this moment, Taiyi made a move that surprised everyone.

His primordial spirit appeared in the cave and bowed deeply before the sycamore branch planted in the ground: "Offering!"

The surging sacrificial power in the air immediately fell down, forming a huge funnel like clouds, and rapidly poured into the branches of the paulownia tree.

The phoenix tree branch that Taiyi had planted for hundreds of years without much progress suddenly grew rapidly after absorbing the sacrificial power, growing from a branch into a sapling under everyone's astonished gaze.

A low-grade acquired spiritual root sapling!

However, what surprised everyone was not the seedling with the acquired spiritual root.

Rather, it was Taiyi's use of sacrificial power.

The human race's sacrificial power was originally quite pure. After being absorbed into the grotto-heaven, it was transformed using the profound Dao that Hui Kui had comprehended. Then, it employed the sacrificial method established by the Human Emperor to offer sacrifices to the branches of the phoenix tree.

At this moment, everyone felt that the quality of the sacrificial power had improved again, as if it did not come from hundreds of millions of humans, but from one person, from the Taiyi clan!

Moreover, there seems to be some mystery involved, but it is impossible to understand it because of the hidden world.

Otherwise, this small amount of sacrificial power would not have been enough to make that paulownia branch grow into a sapling.

"How...how did he do that?"

The deities of the Longmen Mountains cried out in alarm.

This is the first time I've seen someone use the power of sacrifice in this way.

They used the power of sacrifice to either directly refine magical power and increase their cultivation.

Alternatively, one can use the power of sacrifice, which originates from all living beings and possesses a complex and diverse nature, to protect oneself in the process of aligning with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, preventing oneself from being corrupted by the Dao, and thereby attaining enlightenment.

However, those with too little sacrificial power dare not use it for enlightenment in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, because the risk of Dao transformation is still very high if the sacrificial power is too little.

However, one can take a step back and use the power of sacrifice to achieve harmony between heaven and humanity. This is the reason for those demigods' licentious and evil rituals; in a state of harmony between heaven and humanity, it is easier to understand one's true nature and to align oneself with the divine and the Dao.

But what kind of method is Taiyi using now?

If the power of sacrifice can be transferred to sacrifice other things, wouldn't it also be used to refine divine artifacts?

Unfortunately, Mr. Tai did not respond.

In fact, he was inspired by Huikui Shi to make this attempt.

The sacrificial ceremony is complete.

The chiefs and leaders of various tribes were entertained by Yanzi and his group, while Taiyi led Houtu, Yidi and others back to the Yiqi Palace.

Among the gods of the Longmen Mountains, Feng Bai calmly followed.

Guang Qi and the others exchanged glances, and their faces also flushed with embarrassment.

For a time, it was inevitable that the room would be filled with distinguished guests.

Fortunately, the hall was very spacious, so it could fit everything.

Taiyi did not intend to completely sever ties with the gods of Longmen.

After the host and guests were seated, without waiting for any questions, Taiyi said with a smile, "I suppose everyone is curious about my use of sacrificial power just now. This method actually originated from the profound Dao of Divine Consciousness that Brother Huikui comprehended earlier."

"And the power of sacrifice originates from the power of divine consciousness..."

Taiyi recounted in detail the wonders of how he transformed the human race and the sacrificial power given to him by the acquired race into his own sacrificial power.

However, what he said was only a very mysterious theory, which also involved the profound principle of returning to one's original nature.

Whether one can comprehend and apply this knowledge in practice depends on each person's own circumstances.

For a moment, some people in the hall suddenly realized something, some frowned and pondered, and some stared blankly, completely unable to understand.

It rained heavily this afternoon and the power went out, ┭┮﹏┭┮. I'll try to write another chapter after dinner, it might be quite late, please forgive me, fellow cultivators.
