Zhang Yan took his leave from the High Sky Heaven, but did not return to the Xuanyuan Heaven. With a thought, he landed in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
He first came to the Blue Sky Temple, and now lived in the Qinghuan Palace. This place was rare, but it was one of his former Daoist places, so there was no need to abandon it. He had made some changes to this place, and it was no longer the same as before. Now, however, it seemed that it was not enough.
He stretched out a finger, and the place was instantly transformed into a huge sky. He temporarily placed it in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but if he wanted to, he could move it to the Xuanyuan Heaven with a thought.
At the same time, a scene suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. He saw countless futures being created.
Seeing this, he could not help but think of the emotionless Daoist magic.
The so-called emotionless Daoist magic. If everything was in the palm of one's hand, then it would be fine. But in reality, it was just an illusion. How could a human be able to calculate the mysteries of heaven?
If this was really what he wanted, he could cut off thousands of futures, leaving only a sliver of hope. Everything seemed to be in the palm of one's hand, but in reality, everything was solid and there would be no more changes. He could use this opportunity to ascend to the Upper Realm, and the path of the Dao would come to an end.
The key here was the difference between the emotionless and emotional Daoist wills.
When the two sides fought, either one side completely annihilated the other, or one side completely submitted to the other, but this was not easy to achieve, unless one side was far stronger than the other. If one could obtain the Zhou Yuan Jade, and the person who obtained it could successfully cultivate to the True Yang stage, then perhaps there would be such a chance.
After these thoughts flashed through his mind, he decided to take a look outside. At this moment, Sect Master Qin was cultivating in seclusion in the Kun Residence, so it was not a good idea to disturb him. However, the matter of the Deity Position was not related to the safety of the sect, and it was not a secret, so there was no need to specially inform him. After thinking for a while, he separated a magical clone and sent it to the Floating Heavenly Palace.
In the Upper Extreme Hall, Qi Yuntian had already finished his chores and was meditating in the hall. Suddenly, he felt the movement of Qi outside and his expression changed. He immediately got up and walked to the front of the hall. He looked up and saw a ray of golden light shining down. He bowed and said, "Hall Master Du Zhen greets you."
Zhang Yan walked out from the rainbow of light and returned the greeting, "Hall Master Qi pays his respects."
After the ceremony, Qi Yuntian invited him to sit in the hall. After the host and the guest sat down, he solemnly asked, "Hall Master Du Zhen, do you have something important to tell me?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing important. A few days ago, I created a hundred thousand outer gods with a few Fellow Daoists on Kun Shi Continent to support the human dao and defend against the demons and devils. However, this continent is vast and there are countless demons and devils. This generation is still weak and we still need to fill in the manpower from other places, so we wanted to recruit from outside." He took out a jade scroll and passed it over. "The details are recorded in it."
Qi Yuntian took it and scanned it with his divine sense. He already knew the details and said, "I will remember this matter, does Hall Master Du Zhen have any other instructions?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "This is just a small matter. Hall Master Qi can decide for himself. Even if he fails, it won't be a problem." Therefore, this incarnation still had other matters to attend to, so he said a few more words to Qi Yuntian and left.
Qi Yuntian pondered for a while in the hall and said to the guards below, "Come, call Yingyue and Zhu Yi here."
After a while, his disciples Guan Yingyue and Zhu Yi came together and bowed, "Greetings, Master."
Qi Yuntian used his mana to throw the jade scroll and said, "The two of you take a look."
Guan Yingyue took it and looked through it. He was slightly moved. He thought for a while and Just Now passed the jade scroll to Zhu Yi and said, "Junior brother, please take a look." “
Zhu Yi was very curious because his cultivation was far from Guan Yingyue's. After he took it, he transferred his mana into it and Just Now saw what was recorded inside. After he looked through it, he was very surprised and said, "180 Deity Positions? If I can make up for it, I can live forever? "At that moment, he was also a little moved.
Guan Yingyue turned to look at him and reminded, "Junior brother, although you can live forever, you can't transcend. It's just an illusion."
When Zhu Yi heard this, it was like there was a bell ringing in his ears. He also had a deep Dao foundation. He immediately pinched away the strange thoughts that appeared in his heart Just Now. He nodded solemnly and said, "Senior brother is right. We seek to be free and unfettered. Although we can live forever by entering this Dao, we will still be restricted by the external forces. For those who wholeheartedly pursue Dao, I'm afraid they won't use this method, but …"
At this point, he changed the topic, "For those who have no hope of improving due to their lack of talent, this is also a way out."
Qi Yuntian listened and nodded slowly. He agreed with this. There were thousands of cultivators in the world, but there were not many who could really achieve great results.
Not to mention others, just in Qincang School, those who could become the top ten disciples were already considered outstanding. But how many of them could become Grotto-Heaven in the end? Not to mention shedding off the body and cutting off the mortal body. However, even if one could reach this step, one would need the endless spiritual vigor of Ziqing to be able to stay in the world and not be destroyed. Only by entering the Gate of True Yang would one be able to enjoy an infinite lifespan. However, this was a barrier that was almost impossible to cross.
But the Deity Position Selection, however, gave another way out.
For those cultivators who longed for immortality, this could not be said to be not attractive.
He said in a deep voice, "Because these 180 Deity Positions can't be given to anyone casually. Today, I called the two of you here to set a rule."
Guan Yingyue pondered for a while and said, "I think that those who are selected to become Deity Positions need to resist the demons and monsters on the Kun Shi Continent. This is not an easy task, they must have strong willpower."
He saw that the jade scroll said that the Kun Shi Continent had just prospered and there were demons and monsters everywhere. He knew that even if he ascended to the Deity Position, he might not be able to rest easy. There were rules here, and if he repeatedly violated them or slacked off on his duties, he would be expelled.
This was not as simple as losing their Deity Position. Even the mana that they had cultivated before would dissipate completely and they would be completely reduced to a normal person. Therefore, it was not something that anyone could do. The first people to be selected were those who had a good temperament, but because of their talent, external medicine and other reasons, they could not enter the sect.
Zhu Yi said, "It's just that these disciples have strong Daoist hearts and are valued by their teachers and peers. I'm afraid they would rather reincarnate and cultivate again than enter the path of godhood. In my opinion, why don't we let the elders in the sect recommend them and then choose a suitable person from among them. However, we need to make it clear in advance that those who covet wealth and happiness cannot enter this sect."
There were many cultivators who cultivated Daoism just to live a long life and enjoy life. However, with such thoughts, they usually only had hundreds of years of happiness. When they reached the end of their lives, they would be terrified and desperately seek the method of the upper state. This generation had no hope of Daoism. Now that the Deity Position was opened, this generation saw another path and would definitely break their heads to enter. However, the more one was of this generation, the more undesirable it was.
Guan Yingyue said, "Just from the needs of those external gods, the Mystic cultivators of the East Wilderness are very suitable for this position."
Zhu Yi thought about it and felt that it was true. This generation's lifespan was not long and Mystic cultivators did not cultivate to live a long life. One of their important duties was to be in charge of war and killing. In fact, it was a good choice to use them as gods. However, he was quick-witted and thought more. He said, "After all, the countries of the East Wilderness and I are only two families. We can't treat them equally but we can't ignore them either. I think we can give them some, but we can't give them for free. We need them to exchange for it with something good. The higher the price, the better."
Guan Yingyue said, "There are a total of 180 deity positions. Our sect will keep a hundred of them and the rest can be given to people outside the sect."
Qi Yuntian nodded and said, "As for the details, I will pass it to the two of you. Just show it to me later."
Guan Yingyue and Zhu Yi quickly bowed and said, "Yes, Master."
Qi Yuntian then said to the warden in the hall, "Later, take my message talisman and send messengers to each sect. Tell them that the Qincang School has something to discuss with them."
The warden also bowed and said, "Disciple will remember."
After Zhang Yan's incarnation left the Floating Heavenly Palace, he headed north. This time, he felt that one of his disciples was fated to enter the Dao in this life, so he personally came to take him back to the sect.
Although several of his disciples had reincarnated, it didn't mean that they would be fated to enter the Dao in every life. Although he could use his magical power to reverse the situation, sometimes fate was important. If one followed fate, they could avoid many twists and turns on their path of cultivation.
Not long after, they saw a stretch of green mountains. In the middle of the mountains, there was a big city surrounded by clear air.
Ever since the Qincang School occupied the Northern Frigid Abyss, they built more than a hundred big cities in this vast land. They settled the people of the Nine Cities in these cities. If the cultivators in the sect reincarnated, most of them would land in these cities.
These people had been bathing in spiritual energy since they were in the Nine Continents. Now that they had come to the Mountain and Sea Realm, a land of spiritual energy, after many generations, almost all of them had extraordinary talent, and were far superior to ordinary mortals in the Realm.
With a thought, he landed on a lakeside. There, he saw many children, led by a few slightly older youths, making mud and catching crabs. They chased each other and played. There was only one child, about five or six years old. His clothes were clean, and he sat quietly on a large rock, looking at the others.
He glanced at her, smiled, and slowly walked over. Soon, he was in front of her.
The child accidentally saw him, and immediately stood up from the rock. He respectfully clasped his hands and said, "Greetings, Daoist."
Zhang Yan saw that he was polite and nodded. He pointed ahead and smiled. "Why don't you go and play with them?"
The child curled his lips and said, "That's too boring."
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Then what is interesting?"
When the child heard his question, his face was filled with endless envy. He said, "Riding a sword through the air, flying in the sky, burrowing into the ground, going in and out of the dark, slaying demons and devils. Just Now is interesting!"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "That's not difficult. How about I teach you?"
The child's eyes lit up, and he grabbed the corner of his robe. "Really?"
Zhang Yan sighed in his heart when he saw this action of his. He recalled the past and this little boy seemed to overlap with the figure from back then. He extended his hand and gently rubbed the boy's head. He met the pair of expectant eyes and said in a warm voice, "Really."
