"Build a temple?"
"He wants to build a temple?" Many of the martial artists present began to discuss. However, most of them did not look surprised. Instead, there was a hint of playfulness and even a hint of a smile.
"That's right! It's building a temple! When the time comes, I will demarcate an area and distribute the statues according to a certain range. I will also build a temple according to a certain area. What you all need to do is to publicize this matter and fully cooperate. "
At this point, Ling Dong's expression turned serious. "I will not allow any situation of feigning compliance. If I find out that any of you are slandering the temple, no matter who you are, you will be executed immediately!"
The last two words were shouted by Ling Dong with a trace of his Soul power. That shout caused the expressions of all the martial artists present to become extremely solemn.
Wu Zhengyang and Bu Ziwen, who were sitting at the front, looked at each other, their eyes filled with worry.
In fact, Ling Dong had discussed the matter of building a temple with the two of them. What was even more shocking was that before this, someone had already promoted the matter of building a temple.
About five to six hundred years ago, the Star Luo Temple had once promoted the matter of building a temple. However, in the end, it was left unsettled. To put it bluntly, the matter of building a temple was purely to slowly accumulate and obtain the divine power of the people dao.
The divine power of the people dao was not something that could be accomplished by building a temple, erecting a statue, and organizing the people to kowtow to it. It required piety. As long as one worshipped these statues sincerely, a trace of the divine power of the people dao would be produced and gathered in the statues.
Back then, the Star Luo Temple had also built a temple with great effort. However, there was almost no gain. It was purely a waste of the vitality of the Zhou Tian Righteous Gods. In the end, the built temple even became a place for martial artists in dire straits. In the end, the Star Luo Temple demolished it all in a fit of anger.
What Wu Zhengyang and Bu Ziwen were worried about was that Ling Dong's act of building a temple this time would follow in the footsteps of the Star Luo Temple. However, Ling Dong had his own confidence.
Firstly, Ling Dong's control over the entire Long 'an Boundary was stronger than the Star Luo Temple's control over the Long' an Boundary. Secondly, Ling Dong had researched for a long time and found the reason why the Star Luo Temple failed to build the temple back then. It was because they were not grounded.
The deity statues that were built were all illusory, god-like cultivators that the common people had never seen before. How could the common people worship them, let alone be devout?
The main reason was that the human dao divine power was too important. Although human dao divine power only had a supportive effect most of the time, it often had the effect of turning something rotten into something magical. It was precisely because he recognized this point that Ling Dong had made the arrangements he had today.
"In addition, after the temple is built, arrange several temple attendants according to your respective areas and follow the instructions in this jade talisman to ensure that the temple is built successfully! This Star Lord will say it here today. The success of the temples in the various places has a lot to do with the cultivation opportunities in the mystic realms that you will enjoy in the future and even obtain the God Sealing Stone!
This star lord can tell you with certainty that if any region fails to build a temple and doesn't meet my standards, then don't even think about getting the God Sealing Stone first! "Ling Dong directly used his trump card.
As expected, as soon as Ling Dong said this, the expressions of all the cultivators present immediately became tense. The temple itself had nothing to do with them, but if it affected the quota to enter the mystic realms and the God Sealing Stone of their respective families, then the relationship was huge.
It was unknown who took the lead, but all the cultivators immediately stood up and replied at the same time, "We will do our best to complete the heavy responsibility of the Star Lord!"
Only then did Ling Dong nod his head in satisfaction. He gave a few more important instructions before the summit meeting ended.
On the afternoon of the same day, Ling Dong received the collective worship of tens of thousands of cultivators from various sects and forces in Long An Territory at the square in front of the Big Dipper Treasure Hall. He was officially appointed as the Star Lord of Long An Star Palace, Star Lord Ling.
Of course, Ling Dong couldn't help but announce some benefits. For example, the Star Transformation Pool that he announced in the morning meeting was the most exciting benefit.
In front of these tens of thousands of cultivators, Ling Dong also announced some personnel appointments. For example, Wu Zhengyang was appointed as the Left Minister of Long An Star Palace, and Bu Zi Wen was appointed as the Right Minister.
As for the group of half-step Zhou Tian Righteous Gods who followed Ling Dong the earliest, including Elder Hai, they all had their own appointments. However, the Ling family didn't hold many positions, and Ling Dong had other arrangements for his clansmen.
In less than a day's time, a loose but highly efficient Star Lord's Residence was established, which was similar to the Empire. Compared to managing ordinary people, the management of cultivators was much simpler, and the power was much more centralized.
As long as Ling Dong was willing, his orders could spread throughout the entire Long An Territory in half a day. Of course, Ling Dong's initial joy at this kind of attention-grabbing matter had faded away.
What Ling Dong cared about the most was the accumulation of human dao divine power, and returning!
Killing his way back to the Vermilion Bird Galaxy!
Back then, Ling Dong was chased out of the Earth Deer World like a dog. Every time he thought of this, his cheeks burned. However, after so many years, Ling Dong was no longer in a hurry.
Ling Dong had been coming and going in a hurry these past few years, and it could be said that he didn't have a fixed residence. Now that he finally had a career in the Long An Territory, Ling Dong wanted to properly digest and absorb it.
Moreover, Ling Dong's cultivation had soared extremely quickly. In just a few decades, he had reached a height that others couldn't reach in hundreds or thousands of years. Ling Dong planned to use this rare opportunity to stabilize himself.
In particular, Ling Dong hadn't had the time to study the second half of the Three Extreme Mystic Eyes that he'd recently obtained. Even the more advanced talisman techniques behind the Void Finger, Ling Dong hadn't cultivated them yet.
Ling Dong planned to cultivate in the Long An Territory for a period of time before returning to the Vermilion Bird Planet Domain. When he thought of himself leading a large group of half-step Zhou Tian gods back to the Vermilion Bird Planet Domain and trampling over the Earth Deer World, Ling Dong sometimes trembled with excitement.
However, Ling Dong still had to wait. Just as Mountain God Yin Kang said, the Long An Territory was his current foundation. At least until the Long An Territory was completely stabilized, Ling Dong could only leave.
With the establishment of the Long An Star Lord's residence, which was similar to the central organization of the empire, the Long An Territory fell into a more efficient and orderly operation.
After careful consideration, Ling Dong decided to create statues for Jin Nu, Bai Bai Xuan, and Mountain God Yin Kang. The three of them would use their divine power to condense the statues and send them to various places to build temples. As for Ling Dong himself, he wanted to, but his cultivation hadn't reached Zhou Tianshen's level, so he couldn't even think about it.
Of course, building temples didn't mean that he would be able to obtain human dao divine power. Under Mountain God Yin Kang's suggestion, Ling Dong let Jin Nu, Bai Bai Xuan, and Jin Nu appear in various places.
To put it simply, they were pretending to be mysterious. Although they were already Zhou Tian gods, their skills were still very good. However, Zhou Tianzheng's ability to play tricks was still very strong. It was very easy for him to affect the weather of a certain area, treat a minor illness, or fulfill a small wish.
With the cooperation of various temple attendants, the divine power of human dao also began to accumulate bit by bit. The entire Long 'an Domain also began to develop rapidly with the Long' an Star Palace as the center, or rather, with Ling Dong as the center.
.....
Spring went and autumn came. The sun and moon were like edges. In a flash, a hundred years had passed!
In a hundred years, the Three River Valley had undergone earth-shaking changes. The originally small valley had now developed into a huge city with a population of millions. People called it the Three River God City.
The Long An Star Palace in the Three River God City was already known as the holy land of the entire Long An Territory. Every young martial artist who entered and came out of the Long An Star Palace had become an outstanding talent of their generation. All of them had advanced rapidly in their cultivation.
As for Ling Dong, this Long An Star Lord, he was directly deified in the Long An Territory. Some ignorant citizens even directly called Ling Dong Divine Lord. There were even some citizens who worshipped Ling Dong's longevity tablet.
However, speaking of which, Ling Dong didn't do many good things. The greatest good thing was that Ling Dong unified the entire Long An Territory, causing the endless killing and chaotic battles in the Long An Territory to end. It allowed the ordinary citizens of the Long An Territory to escape from that precarious life.
Of course, the nature of the Long An Territory's law of the jungle was something that Ling Dong couldn't change. This was determined by one's strength. Even the current Ling Dong was caused by this law of the jungle. It was just that Ling Dong was at the top of the food chain.
At this moment, Ling Dong, the initiator of all the changes in the Long An Domain, was sitting on a bamboo rocking chair in the back garden of the Long An Star Palace, gently rocking back and forth. Behind him, there was a woman whose clothes were whiter than snow. Her face was filled with a mature charm, but her skin was like that of a young girl. She was currently gently massaging Ling Dong's legs.
On the bamboo table at the side, a few charcoal stoves were emitting red flames. The purple teapot on top of the stoves was boiling with steam. A rich tea fragrance spread out.
The woman in snow-white clothes lifted a purple teapot and raised it high. The green tea soup rushed into the teacup made of green bamboo. Not a single drop spilled out.
After blowing a few times, the woman in snow-white clothes gently sent a bowl of tea soup to Ling Dong's mouth. Ling Dong, who closed his eyes and was thinking about something, took a sip. The fragrant tea soup immediately made Ling Dong open his eyes.
"Yuhan, your tea brewing skills are getting better and better. After drinking a bowl of tea soup, my entire body feels comfortable. Even I can't help but have the desire to taste it again." Ling Dong, who opened his eyes, praised.
Bai Yuhan only smiled. Her pair of white hands once again served Ling Dong a bowl of tea soup. "In the past, I focused on cultivation and never cared about anything else. Now that I'm focused on the Way of Tea, I feel more wonderful than before. I feel calmer than ever before. "
With a faint smile, Bai Yuhan continued, "Come and try my Stone Spirit Tea. I spent more than forty years to obtain the Bodhi Luminous Tree's seed from Bai Han. After germinating with dozens of other tea trees, I cultivated this new tea. Today, I've just plucked half a box. Come and try it. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Ling Dong shook his head. "Yuhan, it's been hard on you all these years. Every time I come out of seclusion, you're the one waiting for me …"
"My sisters are all cultivating. How can they have so much time like me …" Bai Yuhan smiled faintly. Her white hands were like butterflies as she began to prepare the Stone Spirit Tea for Ling Dong.
"That's true. I can't even tell if this situation is good or bad. However, I've already decided!" Ling Dong suddenly said.
Bai Yuhan didn't care at all and casually asked, "What have you decided?"
"Return to the Suzaku Star Sector and kill the Rushing Earth Deer!" At this moment, Ling Dong's body was overflowing with killing intent.
