Jiang Ziyu acted quickly, almost without thinking, and the Five Yue Emperor completed the conferment in a short time.
Huang Feihu was the Eastern Mount Tai Yue, Tian Qi Ren Sheng Great Emperor.
Chong Heihu was the Southern Mount Hengshan Celestial Saint Emperor.
Wen Ren was the Central Mount Songzhong Zhong Tian Chong Sheng Great Emperor.
Cui Ying was the Northern Mount Hengshan An Tian Xuan Sheng Great Emperor.
Jiang Xiong was the Western Mount Hua, Jin Tian Yuan Sheng Great Emperor.
As for Huang Feihu, there's no need to say much. He was the Wu Cheng Wang, a military leader of seven generations, and during both the Shang and Han dynasties, he was a pivotal figure, comparable to an axis mundi.
Chong Heihu was the younger brother of Chong Hou, the Duke of North. After betraying his elder brother, he made remarkable contributions to the founding of the Zhou dynasty. Accompanying Grandpa Jiang in battles both north and south, he was often a general in command. This was the case when he died in battle while securing the northern bank of the Yellow River for Zhou.
Wen Ren, Cui Ying, and Jiang Xiong were three people who could be said to be even more modest than in a performance. They remained quiet for decades, going with the flow. When they were on the verge of being deified, they hastened to die and made their way onto the list.
It can't be said that the five of them did anything underhanded. Their origins are all ancient deities, not far from the credentials of the Yun Zhong Jun in the Yunmeng Lake. They were willing to defect to the Heavenly Court, but they couldn't cleanly cut off their own karmic connections and past. So they simply reincarnated into the human race, took advantage of the God-Deification War to sever their past, and started a second playthrough.
There are several candidates for the Zhong Tian Bei Jing Zui Wei Tai Yuhua Di, but the five of them don't have any candidates, making them typical sacrificial lambs.
Before the God-Deification, they knew their future positions. Huang Feihu and Chong Heihu made at least an effort, while the other three were pure "lie down," automatically starting their new jobs when the time came.
At this moment, the five true spirits emerged from the List of Deification, originally still dressed as ordinary martial artists. However, as the five kinds of pure Qi from the East, South, West, North, and Center rapidly converged around them, their past experiences and true spirits merged, altering their appearance accordingly. Their demeanor was also vastly different from before.
Huang Tianhua performed a solemn and grand gesture to the Taiyue Emperor, who also nodded in return. Huang Feihu's memories spanning just a few decades seemed like a tiny fragment in the Taiyue Emperor's memories that spanned countless millennia. With the dream awakened, the paternal affection had been severed.
The Five Colors Divine Ox, inside the Taiyuan Cave on Mount Emei, also saw the live broadcast. A tear rolled down from its large ox eyes. If someone can abandon their son, can they still want a cow?
Biaozi has been on Mount Emei for the past few days. At this moment, he kicked it hard, saying, "We are oxen and horses, just do our jobs well, and there's no need for extra help. Be a loyal companion and serve us willingly!"
Deng Chanyu and Daji exchanged glances, but did not utter any strange words.
These days, investing carries risks, and one must be cautious when entering an industry.
The investment of the Divine Ox Tribe cannot be said to have been a complete waste. At least, it has not reached their expectations, especially after Deng Chanyu took over on this side, where they have completely neglected the other side.
After the Five Yue Emperor were conferred, the old Jia started to confer several immortal beings of the Hsun Tao sect.
The deputy head of the Hsun Tao sect, Yuan Jing, was enshrined as the "Golden DragonYuqiZhengyiLonghuXuantanTrue Lord."
This pit only had two candidates, Yuan Jing and Zhao Gongming. Zhao Gongming was still tending his melon, so Yuan Jing had to accept this position as the "True Lord of the Dragon and Tiger Sword Heavenly Court."
If it were someone with a temper and a love for face, this would be an indignity of colossal proportions. I am, after all, one of the Three Thousand Guests of Zihao Palace! A Hengwu Great Spirit who listened to Dao alongside the Sage today! Yet here I am, reduced to this?
Not to mention the Four Emperors, but even just a broken True Lord? Who are you insulting?
Yuan Jing really doesn't care about face. He bowed courteously to Jiang Ziyu, who stepped aside half a step and called him "teacher," without reciprocating his courtesy.
Soon, Yuan Jing's side added two more gods from heaven, who were the previous Wuyi Mountain scattershan xian Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.
These two individuals were originally scheduled to be enshrined later. Jiang Ziyu may have done this to preserve some face for Yuan Jing.
Now that Yuan Jing is being enshrined, everyone looks at him and makes some comments, humiliating the deputy head of the Hsun Tao sect and the Three Thousand Guests of Zihao Palace. Then, when Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao are enshrined later, everyone will look at Yuan Jing again and humiliate him once more.
Why bother with it? Let's just enshrine them all at once.
"Teacher, from now on, please take good care of us," Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao bowed deeply to Yuan Jing.
As they've all been reduced to this level, one might expect them to be on equal footing, but the reality is quite different.
Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's ceiling is just Tianxian, and with a single spirit trapped within the List of Deification, their essence is incomplete. No matter how hard they try, they can't reach their limit.
Yuan Jing is different.
Even if his own essence is not yet perfect, as long as he continues to practice and refine himself, his future prospects will far surpass those of Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao.
Restoring to the early Saint stage is nearly impossible, and even a Grand Golden Immortal needs an enormous amount of heavenly and earthly treasures to reach that level. In today's age, it's not easy to breakthrough, but Yuan Jing has a strong foundation from his past experience. As long as he relies on his previous knowledge, achieving the status of a Golden Immortal should not be a problem.
Nothing is absolute, and the List of Deification is at most an exquisite True Primordial Spiritual Treasure - a celestial script. It's possible that Yuan Jing will indeed find a way to bypass the restrictions of the List of Deification on the true spirit and regain his freedom.
The meaning behind Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's words is to ingratiate themselves. Teacher, if you become prosperous in the future, don't forget about your brothers and us.
Yuan Jing was also examining the List of Deification at this time. Indeed, he hadn't paid much attention to it in his life. He never expected that he would face a mortal calamity and, after death, a spirit would be bound to the List of Deification.
With his insight and skills, he thought of five or six methods to contaminate the List of Deification in an instant, believing it could free his own spirit. However, contaminating the List of Deification and allowing all spirits to escape would mean that the campaign to support the Zhou Dynasty and destroy the Shang Dynasty was for naught. The causality would be too great; if he dared to act, the Sages would dare to kill him.
Clearly, contaminating it isn't an option. What other methods could there be?
Yuan Jing pondered to the side as Jiang Ziyu continued to confer deities.
Yuding Zhenren was enshrined as the Lord of the Sun Star.
"Thank you for the conferment."
"Brother, you're too modest."
In the current heavenly court of the Hao Tian era, it's not the same as the Ding Jun era. The previous Zhou Dynasty venerated the Sun Star and the Moon Star, but in this current Houtian era, they are intentionally being dimmed down. The Hall of Supreme Succession is now the center of power, and anything related to the Sun Star or Moon Star is passé.
Yuding Zhenren as the Lord of the Sun Star is actually somewhat demeaning, but this position is extremely leisurely. The Sun Star moves on its own and doesn't require you to drive it around aimlessly, nor does it require you to report back to Hao Tian every other day. This environment is very suitable for Yuding Zhenren's cultivation refinement.
Yuding Zhenren is Yuding Zhenren; he's not like Huang Feihu, who is a transformed ancient immortal. He has no additional memories to inherit. After being enshrined, he went to the side and quietly waited.
The next true spirit to be brought out from the List of Deification by Bo Jian is Lei Zhenzi.
Lei Zhenzi was simply unlucky. He served loyally, fighting countless battles, and made great contributions to the Zhou Dynasty. However, in the final battle of supporting the Zhou Dynasty and overthrowing the Shang Dynasty, he was killed by King Zu with his Butcher's Sword. He was just a few hours away from the final victory.
In this time-space, the God-Deification War fought by old Jiang was too difficult. None of Li Jing, Jin Zha, Mu Zha, Nezha, or Huang Tianhua were under his command. Yang Jian returned to the mountains halfway through and stayed there for three years. Wei Hu defected to Han during the later stages. He was left with only Lei Zhenzi to carry the main burden.
