Whether it's to become a master of the Dusheng True Way, or to recreate the Phoenix Wand, it is not something that can be achieved overnight.
The treasure of the Demon Master's Palace is there, anyway, it can't run away. The moonlight shrinks the tall palace to the size of a palm and then places it in the treasure vault of the Spiritual Mountain, waiting for the right moment to open this treasure.
She has her own way of doing things. Even if she's poor, she knows how to live well. She won't be affected by these temporary wealth.
A month later, Yueguang and Yunxiao made a date again to return to Yunzhongjie. This time, Yunxiao would cultivate this world's inheritance for herself, while Yueguang would find some cloud-life forms and study their body structures.
"This is the Supreme Chaos Bell? It looks quite ordinary, doesn't it?" Deng ChanYu muttered a few complaints. The repaired Chaos Bell looked no different from before.
Nuwa looked at her without expression. She quickly changed her words: "Teacher, your powers are vast and mysterious, turning rotten things into wonderful ones! You are truly a great and perfect teacher!"
Nuwa only then revealed a contented smile, indicating that you can talk, so talk more.
The Chaos Bell has been fully repaired, it is said that it not only restored the old injuries but also went a step further. As for who specifically said this, there's no need to delve into it.
On Deng ChanYu's side, she also went through all three thousand ways of the Dao, and it can be said that she made a lot of progress. However, to transform the gains into real combat power, besides making her mind clear, she also needs her body to understand it, which will take some time, and even some opportunities. It can't be rushed.
The master and apprentice returned to the Zixiao Palace through the portal set up by Hongjun before, only to find that it was empty, not even a ghost's shadow in sight.
Under the leadership of Nuwa, the master and apprentice bowed to Hongjun's stone platform and then returned to the Weihu Palace.
Time has passed again for several months.
A relatively minor but not negligible event occurred in Zhou Guo's capital.
After Taishen and Hongyāi died in battle, and Sanyíshēng passed away in the illness after serving the Han country, the remaining veteran among the Four Friends of King Wen, Nan Gongshì, also passed away.
He didn't die of illness in bed, but died in front of the palace gate, in front of Ji chuang.
The old general had planned to take Ji Chong and go to join Bo Yika, the Marquis of Xining City in the northwest. He intended to serve as the Prime Minister under Bo Yika, lead an army back to the capital of Gaojing to quell the chaotic battles among the Ji clans. The plan was excellent, but unfortunately, the old general's sense of confidentiality was a bit lacking. His actions enraged Guan Shuixian, who held power in his hands.
Numerous soldiers stopped Ji Song from leaving the palace, and then arrows flew like hailstones. Nan Gongshì, the lucky general, didn't die in the Battle of Mythical Beings. He had survived so many bloody battles in the past. However, at the end of a Great Calamity, he died at the hands of his own people's arrows.
The old general died with his eyes wide open, and Ji Song burst into tears. When the servants wanted him to change out of the robe stained with blood, he said that it was the blood of a loyal subject and shouldn't be washed away.
The news of Nan Gongshi's death reached the Southern Capital.
The limit of 800 days has already passed.
Deng Jiugong publicly displayed one of the nine Tripod Cauldrons, the Yuzhou Cauldron (Chapter 406), to prove himself as the overlord of the Central Plains.
During the time of Emperor Yu, when the nine Tripod Cauldrons were divided to establish the nine provinces, all of them were lost. No one would have thought that another cauldron was still in Deng's family's hands if Deng Jiugong had not brought it out publicly.
In the present age, the Imperial Jade Seal is not valuable. It does not embody the "imperial inheritance" characteristic. The authority of the nine cauldrons is much higher than that of the imperial jade seal.
Deng Jiugong styled himself as the "Duke," leading a mighty army of 600,000 troops in a grand northern campaign. The official slogan was to "rectify the emperor's side," "mediate" the conflicts among the various clans of the Ji family, and then return power to Ji Chu, son of Ji Fa.
Before leaving, Deng Jiugong pointed at his Han Palace and told the remaining officials and family members: "Don't neglect the cultivated land. When I return after achieving success, I will come back."
Whether it's thirty years from now, or three hundred years, the specific time of my return is uncertain.
However, the gesture was done well. Ji Zi, Wei Zi, and these important ministers of the Shang kingdom are all helping to sing praise songs, expressing that it is very right for the Han kingdom to help the Zhou kingdom.
King Wu of Di had responded from the north, and Ji Xuunkun, a small local ruler, immediately changed his banner and welcomed the Duke into the heart of China.
Deng Xiu marched out of Qishan from Hanzhong, while Li Jing led his troops out of Yuangcheng. The main offensive was carried out on the western and central lines. Su Hu on the eastern line took a defensive stance, as long as he guarded the Huai River defense line and prevented Qi from breaking through, that would be a victory.
The Central Plains erupted into another great battle, but this time the Ten Kings and Buddha didn't pay much attention. Yuan Shih tai zun, who should have taken a momentary glance, was actually not in the Hongwang realm. The opinions of the Ten Kings and Buddha were also simple: "Feel free to fight as you wish."
The Heavenly Palace, the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Chi Jiaozi Da Xian stepped forward and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is a qin mountain cultivator named Jiang Shang, who is well versed in both civil and military matters, has high aspirations, and is renowned for loyalty and filial piety. He may be summoned to serve in the heavens."
Wan Tian did not immediately respond but instead looked at the assembled ministers. Wensen Zong immediately stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, this Jiang Shang, the minister is well acquainted with him. He appears to be a loyal individual but in reality is deceptive and has a thin personality. Moreover, he is cunning and ambitious. If he joins the Shang Dynasty, the dynasty will perish; if he joins the Zhou Dynasty, chaos will reign. He is indeed not a suitable candidate for a loyal subject."
Lei Zhenshi rebutted: "The difference in words from Lei Sheng Puhua Tianzun is that we must remember that Jiang Shang is a high-ranking scholar of Kunlun Mountain, practicing for forty years, and even the Jade Clear Saint calls him 'able'. Such excellent talent, why is the heavenly court rejecting him?"
Many gods who died in the Battle of Mythical Beings stood up to support Wencong. Their words and deeds implied that Jiang Ziyang was garbage, unworthy to serve in heaven, and that Lei Zhenshi was alone and unable to withstand the pressure. In fact, Lei Zhenshi was still resentful about the Battle of Mythical Beings. If there had been no war, he would still be the young master of Qingwei Mountain's Golden Cave as a teacher in the Qingweishijiao. He wouldn't have ended up as an agent at Tianming Palace.
Translated into English, the phrase would be: "It's often unreasonable to blame others. Seeing the fervor of the crowd, all opposing Jiang Ziyang's appointment to heavenly office, he ceased to argue after two retorts."
Chi Jiaozi Da Xian was acting on the instructions of the Heavenly Emperor when he brought up this matter. As a good-natured person, he didn't want to offend a large number of colleagues in the Heavenly Court over such a trivial matter.
Wan Tian was silent for a moment, not expressing any particular fondness for Jiang Ziyang, but needing the high levels of hatred that Jiang Ziyang harbors to help him balance the several major factions within the Imperial Court.
The factions under his command are becoming increasingly severe, and he cannot personally mediate the disputes between the officials. That's why he thought of old Jiang, who will continue to hold the Divine Chainsaw and suppress these officials who rely on the List of Divine Beings to ascend to heaven.
Now that the opposition was too loud, even the Heavenly Emperor could not act alone. He immediately put off the matter of old Jiang and decided to discuss it again later.
The subsequent topics were more diverse. With more people, there are more disputes. In the days when there were only a few great and small cats in the Heavenly Court, there weren't as many issues as there are now.
Deities who came from the Ji race and ascended to heaven for official duties after participating in the Battle of Mythical Beings proposed to remove the title of 'Ji Teacher' for Kunpeng, which was conferred by Emperor Jun's Heavenly Court. Wu Tian held a somewhat ambiguous attitude towards many events from the previous dynasty, acknowledging some while not others.
Now, Wu Tian's response to this flattery was quite ordinary. After all, the person is gone; whether or not to retain the title has little significance, especially since there are no descendants to inherit the legacy. As a Zan'erjun Zhunsheng of the same level, he has a certain amount of sympathy for Kunpeng. The proposal to strip him of the title of 'Ji Teacher' was temporarily put on hold as well.
The officials discussed various matters one by one, with some making on-the-spot decisions and others being temporarily put aside for further discussion at a later time.
Suddenly.
Suddenly, a violent shake was heard outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, causing the officials to stumble and fall in all directions. The Heavenly Emperor extended his hand, using his Zan'erjun-level cultivation to stabilize the hall and the thirty-three celestial realms.
After about fifteen minutes of waiting, Liang Jian, Feng Shun'er, hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, the messenger has brought a precious gift from a distant land. Please accept it."
