Yang Jian politely welcomed Venus Taibai into the military camp and sent him to the main tent. They were seated according to the host and guest.
"Senior Taibai, may I know the reason for your visit this time?"
Venus Taibai swept his horsetail whisk, "These words cannot be heard by six people, and these words cannot be said to three people."
Yang Jian understood and raised his hand to wave. Ji Qianhua and the guards bowed and retreated. Yang Jian wrapped the tent with Xuanqi and held a teacup to toast Venus Taibai.
Venus Taibai also raised his teacup to welcome him and took a sip of tea with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a while, Perfected Cultivator is more elegant than before. It's really commendable."
"You and I don't need to be polite. Just say what you have to say," Yang Jian tapped on the armrest of the armchair with his fingers, "Senior has never visited without a reason. I believe you have the decree of His Majesty the Jade Emperor."
"Perfected Cultivator is indeed smart."
Yang Jian was speechless. He had a feeling that this old immortal was coaxing a child.
Venus Taibai took out a roll of cloth from his sleeve. It contained a faint pressure of the Heavenly Dao. It must be from the hands of the Jade Emperor.
However, he did not read it. Instead, he sent the cloth to Yang Jian and gestured for Yang Jian to open it.
Yang Jian opened it and took a look. He was immediately puzzled.
Wordless Heavenly Book? There was the seal of the Jade Emperor on it, but there were no words.
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
Venus Taibai smiled and said, "Listen to me carefully about this matter. Perfected Cultivator is in charge of the conferment of gods. There are already many immortals in the Deification List. The Celestial Court has sensed it and developed a corresponding immortal mansion."
"For example, Zhao Gongming. Although I don't know why the Heavenly Axiom arranged it this way, the Celestial Court has a new finance department a few days ago. Within it is the position of 'Golden Dragon Ruyi Dragon Tiger Enigmatic Altar', which is in charge of attracting wealth and treasures. From now on, he will be the God of Wealth in the Celestial Court."
"This is where the Celestial Court and the Heavenly Dao coincide. The fact that there is an Essence Soul in the God List is already a foregone conclusion."
Yang Jian nodded. He had once heard his master mention that the Celestial Court was a Dharma treasure refined by the Dao Ancestor Hong Jun. It was a Heavenly Dao treasure. This matter should not be wrong.
"So what?" Yang Jian still did not understand the purpose of this Wordless Heavenly Book.
"Do you still not understand, Perfected Lord?" Venus Taibai stroked his beard and chuckled. "If you enter the God roll, you can't escape being enslaved by the Heavenly Dao. Perfected Lord, you had previously used the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice and were wary of the Dao Sect's Essence Energy. His Majesty praised that, but you might not know … "
Yang Jian also couldn't help but listen attentively. What Tai Bai was talking about might be the aspect that he had overlooked.
He heard a sentence. "If one's body does not die and becomes a god, it will indeed not damage their Dao foundation. If their body dies and becomes a god, although they can recover their cultivation level, they will not advance further. However, there is actually no difference between the two. Once one's name is on the God roll, they will be restrained by the Heavenly Dao. If one's Dao wants to improve, it will be related to one's official position, merits, incense offerings, and even accumulated merit. "
"Is that so?" Yang Jian immediately had a headache.
Venus Taibai nodded. "The word 'immortal' will be different after becoming a god. Gods are gods, and immortals are immortals. Gods use the power given by the Heavenly Dao to maintain the Three Realms. Immortals are free and unfettered outside the court. They cultivate the Dao to seek the truth. Perfected Lord, do you understand? "
"I roughly understand." Yang Jian nodded. He looked at the cloth in front of him and knew that it was a favor that his uncle had given him and the Dao Sect.
The simplest example was the Three Xiao Immortals. Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao had died and entered the God roll. After becoming a god, they could recover their original cultivation level. However, there was no need to think about improving at all. They could not improve their entire lives and could not become top mighty figures.
Yun Xiao was not dead, but her name was also on the God roll. After becoming a god, if Yun Xiao wanted to cultivate and increase her Dao and enter a higher realm, apart from her own Dao comprehension and Dao nature, she also needed enough incense offerings, merit, and the support of an official position in the Celestial Court.
On the other hand, even if Yun Xiao did not comprehend the Dao and gave her a position in the Celestial Court that was second only to the Jade Emperor, she might be able to be bestowed with a cultivation realm by the Heavenly Dao and improve her Dao …
Gods could not help but be gods. That was forcing the righteous gods of the Celestial Court to work for the Celestial Court and the Heavenly Dao.
The decree that the Jade Emperor had asked Venus Taibai to send was also the decree of the Jade Emperor that the Heavenly Dao had recognized.
Yang Jian only needed to use this decree to write some names in advance before he became a god. For example, Nezha, Huang Tianhua, Li Jing, and the others, he would make them generals of the Celestial Court. They would be like Yang Jian and would not be affected by the God roll. They could also enter the Celestial Court.
It turned out that this was how the so-called "physical body becoming a Saint" came about.
Looking at the blank space on the edict, Yang Jian estimated that only a dozen or so names could be written on it.
Yang Jian asked, "Is there a limit to the number of people?"
"Seven or eight people are enough. Not too many. Otherwise, you will be devoured by the Heavenly Dao," Venus Taibai reminded him kindly. Yang Jian nodded and took out his brush and ink. He stood up and after thinking about it, he picked up his brush and wrote a short decree.
It was so short that there was no nonsense. There were only two words.
"Today."
"Will that work?"
"Of course." Venus Taibai smiled and nodded. "However, after you write the first name, the decree will automatically be incorporated into the Heavenly Dao's operation within an hour at most."
Yang Jian immediately stopped writing. He had not thought about who to send to the heavens first.
He naturally wanted his junior brothers, but there were still a few junior brothers who had yet to leave the mountain and were not familiar with him. If they got familiar in the future … "
He rolled up the Jade Emperor's decree and solemnly placed it in the deepest part of the Black Tortoise Belt. He leaned on his small iron token.
Yang Jian said seriously, "I should have gone to the Celestial Court to see His Majesty about this matter and personally thank him. However, I am busy with military affairs and it is inconvenient for me to go. Please pass the message to him."
Venus Taibai immediately smiled and nodded.
After Yang Jian saved Yohime, the Jade Emperor gave Yang Jian many benefits again and again. His intention to cultivate him could not be more obvious.
"I came for this matter. Now that it is done, I will go back to the Celestial Court to report."
Venus Taibai stood up and said goodbye. Yang Jian hurriedly sent him off. After all, the other party came to give him benefits. He could not take a big date and give the other party a sour look.
He was not an unreasonable person, and he still had this bit of etiquette.
After sending Venus Taibai to the gate of the military camp, Yang Jian watched the old immortal ride the clouds to the west. He stood with his hands behind his back. His heart was full of reverie.
If the Jade Emperor's uncle knew that he invested so much in exchange for him being disarmed after becoming a god, would he vomit blood …
On the field ahead, there was a slight breeze blowing. Yang Jian's robe and long hair swayed gently as if it was saying a truth to him.
If the tree wants to be quiet, it should ask if the wind stops.
Whose name was written on that wordless heavenly book? Yang Jian was not a selfless' sage '. Naturally, he chose a few people who had a good relationship with him and were on the List of Deification.
The Celestial Court, the position of god, the path of immortality, incense …
Yang Jian stopped for a long time. Finally, he chuckled and turned back to the main tent.
"Guards."
There were two groups of patrolling soldiers passing by and a few soldiers standing guard at the side. More than twenty people knelt down and waited for Yang Jian's words.
"Let General Jin Zha come to my tent for a discussion."
"Yes!"
It was time to teach some guys a lesson.
…
Taihua Mountain, Cloud Sky Cave.
That was Red Essence's Cave Abode. It was also a rare grotto-heaven in the Primordial World. There were layers of array formations around it. It was hidden in the mountains. It was an excellent cultivation place.
Red Essence was usually busy and often stayed in the Jade Void Palace. He did not return to the Cave Abode often.
However, more than ten years ago, Red Essence had left an incarnation in the Cave Abode to teach his disciple, Yin Hong.
Yin Hong was the son of Di Xin. Back then, Daji had entered the palace and killed Empress Jiang. The two princes were extremely angry. They raised their swords and wanted to kill Daji. However, Fei Zhong insisted that they wanted to assassinate Di Xin. Di Xin was furious and ordered to kill the two princes.
Yin Hong and Yin Jiao escaped from Zhaoge City under the protection of a few old officials. When they were attacked by the pursuing soldiers, they were picked up by Guangchengzi and Chijing Zi and brought back to the Chan Sect. They became the disciples of the two powerful figures and cultivated in the mountains. It had been more than ten years.
After the Nine-Turn Yellow River Array, Red Essence intended to return to the Cave Abode to enter seclusion. While Yang Jian returned to the Jade Void Palace because of Tu Xingsun, Red Essence applied for leave from Hiroshige and returned to the Cave Abode to cultivate.
His incarnation had always been in the Cave Abode, so he was quite close to Yin Hong. After all, they had been together for more than ten years.
That day, Red Essence was uneasy, so he pinched his fingers to deduce. However, the heavenly secrets sensed that it was time for Yin Hong to leave the mountain.
Red Essence woke up Yin Hong, who was cultivating in seclusion. After checking Yin Hong's cultivation, he nodded in satisfaction.
Just like Tu Xingsun, Red Essence had helped Yin Hong improve his cultivation quickly in order to become a god and block the calamity. However, Red Essence was the second senior brother of the second generation of Chanism after all. He had many treasures and a high cultivation level. Although he helped Yin Hong, he did not harm his Dao foundation.
Now, Yin Hong had been "pushed" to the Daira realm. He only needed to stay in the Daira realm for ten thousand years to consolidate. After ten thousand years, he could rely on his comprehension to cultivate and break through again. “
"Disciple, wake up."
"Master!"
"It's time for you to descend the mountain. Come with me. I'll give you a few treasures so you can go and help your Senior Brother Yang Jian," Master Red Essence said in a gentle voice. He led Yin Hong, who was still in a daze, into the main cave.
After entering the cave, Red Essence sat down cross-legged. Yin Hong stood at the side with his body bowed. Although the Daoist robe he wore was a little tight, it did not lose his elegant demeanor.
Red Essence first sighed. "You are the Crown Prince of the Great Shang Dynasty. Are you willing to go down the mountain to help Zhou attack the Shang Dynasty? If you're not willing, I will not make it difficult for you to go down the mountain. "
"Master!" Yin Hong looked up, his eyes filled with hatred. "I have a hundred lifetimes of enmity with Daji! I have long severed my ties with King Zhou! Today, Master, please let me help Senior Brother Yang Jian. In the future, I won't enter Chaoge City! "
"Alright." Red Essence nodded, his gaze still hesitant.
Yin Hong saw that his master still did not believe him. He immediately knelt on the ground and said, "I'm willing to swear a Heavenly Dao oath. If I don't help Senior Brother Yang Jian, I will definitely turn into ashes!"
"Fine, I'll believe you." Master Red Essence sighed softly and raised his hand. Three rays of light surrounded Yin Hong. "Take my treasures with you. Don't damage the reputation of the Chan School."
"Thank you, Master!"
At that moment, Yin Hong knelt and kowtowed to Red Essence. He put away the Yin-Yang Mirror and the Water-Fire Blade. He put on the Purple Ribbon Immortal Robe and bid farewell to Red Essence with tears in his eyes.
He turned around and walked on the cloud towards Xi Qi.
His mother's death was a debt of gratitude.
Yin Hong was filled with pride. After flying for half a day, he had already entered the border of the Zhou Nation from the northwest. He had more ambitions in his heart. He could not wait to enter the Zhou Camp and meet up with his fellow disciples.
Master had always described Eldest Senior Brother as a god. This time, I should learn more from him …
Suddenly, a shout came from the forest below the mountain.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait!"
