"The Grand Sage said: 'Please, Your Imperial Majesty, enter the palace for official duties. Also, invite this immortal from the True Domain to witness the ceremony.'"
Cuian Yu glanced in the distance. Shao Shengming ran like a headless fly, but this person was also losing their composure. Fengdu Mountain was a sealed off place. Are you skilled in the way of space as well? Where can you run to?
Now, Daji's assumption of office is the most important. She gave a glance and said nothing more.
The Grand Sage is very familiar with the Extrication Hall and leads Daji into the main hall.
Daji returned the seal of Fengdu Emperor to its rightful place, and then took out that jade Pure Law Token. She passed it to Deng Chanyu in the midst of Shao Shengming's bewildered gaze.
"Hmm, this matter has been temporarily approved by the palace of Yu Xu, I hope you will not become proud or restless and spread the laws and teachings of the Tao." She rambled on for a while. Daji, as if she didn't recognize her, nodded occasionally, acting as if she were attentively listening.
Their childish actions made Shao Shengming, who was watching from the side, look stunned.
You are one of them! Although my eyes are blind, I can still tell.
The seal and the magical token are two important credentials for assuming the position of the Emperor of Fengdu.
The seal represents the recognition of the Underworld, while the magical token represents the support of the Taoist door.
Previously, the Grand Sage and Shao Shengming found a seal of the hall master in the side hall. At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder: If I use the hall master's seal to assume office and write a magical token by myself, "randomly" find someone to come over, can I also complete the whole appointment process?
The Grand Sage sighed to himself in secret, feeling that he had missed a great opportunity.
It is now ineffective to form an alliance with Shao Shengming and expel Daji. The opponent has already taken office and is now the master of Fengdu Mountain. Even if you don't kill them with a single thought, at the very least, you can make them live in constant fear and desperation.
Once Daji opens this world in Fengdu Mountain, they can go out, but Daji is no big-hearted person. Facing a sealed world and a formidable Daoist quasi-saint, Shao Shengming was left with only two choices in front of him: live or die. The option of escape does not exist.
"Your majesty's divine might is awe-inspiring, I am truly in awe and gratitude. I humbly request your mercy, may Your majesty permit me to build a straw cottage in Fengdu Mountain, where I can listen to Your teachings morning and evening!" The Grand Sage instantly shed his royal headdress and robes, along with his chariot and the black crow, leaving only a middle-aged man in coarse hemp clothes at the original spot.
Daji pondered for a moment: "The Grand Sage has always been renowned for his virtues of benevolence and compassion, and can serve as my assistant. I will appoint him as the Supreme Teacher of the Ninth Hell Extrication!"
The Grand Sage immediately bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
As soon as the words fell, he changed into another set of official robes. Before, they were pure black, but now they had turned to a dark red, looking indeed a significant step down in rank.
Daji is still too new in his position and lacks sufficient authority.
The number of diviners willing to work in the Underworld is too small. "Getting more money with less effort and being close to home" jobs they don't want, let alone going far away from home to work for you? Do you want a fried dough cake?
She can only gather a very few people, and she is in urgent need of help. At this time, the celestial court is short-handed, the Underworld is short-handed, and the Taoist door is short-handed. Everyone everywhere is short-handed. At such a time, one cannot be picky and choosey. Recruiting the Grand Sage was an inevitable choice under such circumstances.
With the establishment of a monarch-subject relationship, the other party will no longer worry about their own lives and will abandon their ancient god identity to successfully enter the existing Daoist god system. Daji will also be able to do some work without restrictions, achieving a win-win situation.
The matter from here on will be simple.
The Grand Sage acts as a guide, utilizing his familiarity with the terrain to lead Daji and Deng Chanyu to find the secret room. He then kills Shao Shengming.
Deng Chanyu uses an invisible space chain to slow down Shao Shengming's movements. Daji first uses the Bow of the Sunset to shoot three arrows, and then accelerates the charge. With a single staff strike, she kills Shao Shengming, whose strength is comparable to that of Taiyi Golden Immortals.
This operation of killing someone at a higher level, jumping grades, is quite shocking to the Grand Sage. He used to be stronger than Shao Shengming. However, he was imprisoned in the other's body for billions of years and suffered a decline in cultivation. Now he is only at the level of a divine immortal. Shao Shengming has been killed, making himself no match for him anymore. Any remaining chance of survival was shattered.
Daji remained in Fengdu Mountain to handle official duties. On one hand, she needed to gather the department heads of the Underworld to work here. On the other hand, she also had to take over a portion of the tasks from the Ten Hell Kings.
The "initial character" has been established. Fengdu Mountain has six celestial palaces, which are equivalent to six small celestial realms. Establishing six "sect fronts" is more than sufficient. The next step is to distribute the tasks of the Underworld and get the entire institution of Fengdu Mountain up and running as soon as possible.
Daji is recruiting people, while Deng Chanyu goes to the Nuwa Temple to fetch her daughter first.
She patted her daughter's bottom, pinched her round cheeks, and then let her daughter hit her twice. Only then did she lower her voice and ask.
"Teacher? Are you there?"
"Can't you ask another question? Not here!"
Deng Chanyu was overjoyed, as this teacher-student dialogue was no longer the super "roaming" mode with two-way charges like that of Hongjun.
The information she felt was very clear; a strand of Nuwa's will was within the temple of Nuwa.
That's much more comfortable! I won't chat with Nuwa in the wilderness again next time!
She is preparing to find Deng Xiu after finishing the business in Fengdu. Build a temple of Nuwa for me, build more temples, and then develop more followers. Provide more and better spiritual incense power.
Nuwa waited for a while, then, seeing that she didn't say anything, she complained a little: "Is there something? Xiao Wu just had a nap. This little rascal is so energetic."
Deng Chanyu laughed twice and said, "This little guy is a bit bigger now. At least they can take him out for a play. When he was little, it was much harder to take care of him. He was like a living ancestor."
She coughs and says: "Teacher, I am now looking for that thing."
Nuwa is puzzled: "What thing?"
"That thing!"
The female body of Nuwa, who was in chaos, was confused and couldn't understand what Deng Chanyu was looking for. To her, it had been a long time since she left Hongwu, and she really couldn't remember what Deng Chanyu was searching for.
It was only with Nuwa's reminder that she suddenly remembered.
"Oh oh, my teacher always remembered, yeah yeah, so what's going on?"
Deng Chanyu complained for a while: "Is there a way to make that thing not reveal any abnormal signs? My disciple doesn't mind enemies, but this abnormal sign keeps jumping out from time to time, which is really annoying."
Nuwa was even more puzzled: "You said you're not afraid of enemies. If the abnormal signs attract all those enemies to come together, why not solve them all at once?"
Deng Chanyu's face flushed slightly: "When I said I was not afraid, it was a form of literary hyperbole."
"Hehe" Laoliu, who was standing by, couldn't tell if he understood it or not. He laughed out loud at the appropriate moment. Laoliu's laughter was so happy that it made her forget to smile until Bapu made a hand gesture for spanking, then she smiled and covered her mouth.
Nuwa in the chaos finally understood her meaning.
Nuwa spoke with a hint of helplessness, "Then I can't help you. In the past when I obtained the Primordial Purple Mist, no one dared to cause trouble in the Primordial Chaos. I really don't know what kind of secret method there is to hide abnormal signs in it. Back then, none of them could defeat me."
