Volume 5: The World of Conferred Gods Chapter 24: People's Teachings Move, Entering the Court Song
Most of his cultivation was restricted, and the Immortal of the South Pole could not even exert cultivation above the level of the Golden Immortal.
Now he was in a trance. Facing Shen Gongbao's attack, he had little strength to resist. When the divine whip hit him, his body and soul were destroyed.
Only one true spirit remained, heading towards the List of Gods.
After killing Nanji Xianweng, Shen Gongbao was a little dazed. Did he really kill Nanji Xianweng? Shen Gongbao couldn't believe it for a while. After all, Nanji Xianweng was someone he looked up to before. How long has it been now? Only a few decades, and he has already been able to kill Nanji Xianweng.
Picking up the deer staff on the ground, Shen Gongbao caught his mount, the sika deer, which was trying to escape, with one hand. Only then was he sure that he had indeed killed the Immortal of the South Pole.
Jiale's image appeared in his mind, and Shen Gongbao knew who was the reason for his current situation.
If he had not met Jia Le, if Jia Le had not led him into Jiejiao and made plans for him, it would have been impossible for him to reach the realm he is at today and have the strength he has today.
Now that he had gotten over the anger of being expelled from the sect, Jiang Ziya and the Immortal of the South Pole were both dead, and it was time for him to complete the task assigned to him by Jia Le.
Thinking of what Jiale said to him when he left Jin'ao Island, Shen Gongbao couldn't help but feel awe towards Jiale.
This senior brother of his really has something. It's as if he had predicted everything in advance. It seems that everything is developing in the direction that Jia Le said, without any deviation. Even his ability to rapidly improve his cultivation is the same.
Quickly leave the place and head towards Dashang.
Kunlun Mountains.
Yuanshi Tianzun held the Investiture of the Gods tightly in his hand. Looking at the extra name on the Investiture of the Gods, Yuanshi Tianzun almost had some evil thoughts again.
The Immortal of Antarctica.
There was actually one more name on the List of Gods, and that name was his outer sect disciple, the Immortal Nan Ji.
You have to know that this is the Golden Immortal of Fortune. Before the catastrophe began, he had calculated that it was absolutely impossible for the Immortal of the South Pole to be on the list. What is going on now? Everything is a mess.
Taiqing Laozi was also in Kunlun Mountain at this time. He had just helped Yuanshi Tianzun stabilize his state of mind. When he saw his name on the List of Gods, he couldn't help but be silent.
In fact, at this time, the names on the List of Gods had almost been listed.
Well! Most of them are disciples of Jiejiao.
Who would have thought that Tongtian, who had initially been making a fuss about not wanting to sign, was actually quite honest in his actions and sent several thousand disciples to the list at once.
If most of these disciples were not low-level disciples and could not fill the 365 positions of the true gods, this great calamity of conferring the gods would have lost its meaning. However, even so, it was quite cruel. Among these disciples, there was also a Daluo Jinxian, the Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.
Now, the List of Conferred Gods is filled with names, and the highest one is Lu Ya, who has reached the level of Hunyuan Golden Immortal.
Then there are the two Daluo Golden Immortals, the Nan Ji Xian Weng and the Chang Er Ding Guang Xian.
In fact, we can see from here how dangerous this disaster is.
Nothing has happened yet, and already one Hunyuan Golden Immortal and two Daluo Golden Immortals have died. What will happen in the future?
Taiqing Laozi, the catastrophe at this time has already entered a rapid speed mode, it has gone off the right track and is out of his control.
But he really didn't like this feeling, so the most important thing was to get the catastrophe back on track as soon as possible.
As for whether this matter is difficult or not, Taiqing Laozi said that in this world, as long as their saints are here, there will be no big waves, and if it is difficult to pull, just pull it hard.
"We can't let the situation develop any further. I'll ask Xuandu to go out and take a group of disciples to Xiqi. You have Guangchengzi and the others follow Xuandu's instructions. We can't afford to make any mistakes this time."
Laozi's words reached Yuanshi Tianzun's ears. Yuanshi Tianzun suddenly looked up and looked at Laozi with a serious face, knowing that Laozi was serious.
I actually have to do it myself, but Yuanshi Tianzun's face looks a little ugly. I am not satisfied with his work, so I have to do it myself.
However, it's just a thought. Without Laozi's support at this time, Yuanshi Tianzun really feels a little weak.
Because of the incident with Yuanshi Tianmo, Yuanshi Tianzun's cultivation level has been affected. If a fight really breaks out, he may not be a match for Tongtian Jiaozhu. And the current Shang Dynasty is a bit weird. It will be very difficult for Xiqi to fight against the Shang Dynasty. It is indeed the best choice for me to take the fight now.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother."
At Shouyang Mountain, Master Xuandu couldn't help but sigh when he received Laozi's arrangement.
To be honest, after joining the Human Religion, Master Xuandu had already severed most of his ties with the human race, because the philosophy of the Human Religion and the philosophy of the human race are two completely different extremes. However, after practicing Taoism, it seems that whether or not one is a human is no longer so important. Especially as his cultivation level has improved step by step, and he has now reached the level of a Hunyuan Golden Immortal, Master Xuandu has become even less human.
But after all, there is still a certain persistence that does not want to get involved in human affairs.
Especially now that he is going to be on the opposite side of the Human Emperor, it is really against his will, but it is hard to disobey the master's orders, not to mention that it concerns the fate of the Human Religion. As the eldest disciple of the Human Religion, he has reasons to go.
"All disciples, follow me down the mountain."
"Disciple obeys the order."
As Master Xuandu descended the mountain, the Human Sect officially entered.
The moon.
Jiale's refining has entered the countdown, and it seems that refining the laurel tree is no longer a difficult task.
The Yin-Yang Avenue successfully broke through 70%, and countless Taiyin forces gathered in his body. Jia Le's cultivation also successfully reached the late stage of Hunyuan Jinxian.
After a long time, Jiale restrained his momentum, and his Taoist charm also came to an abrupt end.
Because of the rhyme of Tao, Chang'e, who was immersed in enlightenment, was suddenly awakened. Looking at the place where the laurel tree was originally rooted, it was now empty. Chang'e could not help but feel sad. It was gone, just like that. Her good sister was gone, and she was harmed by the man in front of her. How hateful.
Looking at Chang'e, who had a face full of grief and anger, Jiale was also happy and immediately walked towards her.
Chang'e couldn't help but feel a little scared. This was the bad guy who had brought disaster to the laurel tree. She wouldn't do anything to her, would she? Just when Chang'e was about to scold Jiale loudly, Jiale simply passed her and walked towards Guanghan Palace. Chang'e heaved a sigh of relief immediately, but then she remembered something.
"Wait, that's my home, come out now."
It was really outrageous that Jiale just barged into a girl's bedroom like that.
Ignoring Chang'e's embarrassed look, it's time to take action against Taiyin. If you think his things are so easy to get, you must pay enough.
You can go directly to the core of Taiyin Star through Guanghan Palace. Jiale really doesn't like Chang'e's junky things in Guanghan Palace.
Soon, the Dao rhyme covered the entire Taiyin Star again.
Chang'e was shocked. This is!!
You know, at this time, the Lunar Star has already been refined by her, and Jiale is trying to strip her of her control and take the Lunar Star for himself.
Damn it! Why did this robber steal her Moon?
She tried to struggle, but was tied even tighter. Chang'e was angry and anxious, but was soon attracted by waves of Tao rhyme and entered the state of enlightenment again. She had a feeling that if she was lucky this time, she might be able to kill the corpse and break through to the late stage of Quasi-Saint.
I have to say, the female fairy is very real. She cursed and shouted "It smells so good" at the same time.
Yin and Yang attracted each other, and the refining of the Lunar Star was actually very fast. Especially after Chang'e stopped struggling, the imprint of Chang'e on the Lunar Star was stripped off, and Jiale's refining was twice the result with half the effort, and he also comprehended the Dao very quickly.
Chaoge City.
Shen Gongbao slowly landed outside the city of Chaoge. Looking at the majestic city in front of him, Shen Gongbao was also a little shocked.
The Chaoge City at this time was very different from when Kunlun moved in. After establishing the Yun Dynasty, Emperor Xin transformed the Chaoge City. Now the Chaoge City has been completely transformed. It is no exaggeration to say that within the Three Realms, only the Heavenly Palace can be more majestic than the Chaoge City.
After the renovation, Chaoge City occupies an area as large as half a state.
The territories of Dongbohou and Beibohou are being incorporated in an orderly manner. Today, the land area of Dashan has almost doubled, and the number of people has also doubled. As a result, the foundation has also been greatly improved. With the implementation of various policies, the entire Dashan has ushered in a booming development.
The emperor and his subjects were of one mind, and the people worked hard to tap the potential of the Shang Dynasty to the extreme. Today, the Shang Dynasty can be said to be on the road to prosperity.
Shen Gongbao stood at the gate of Chaoge City and could even feel the oppression of humanity on him.
You know, he is a Daluo Jinxian. If Emperor Xin was standing in front of him, it would not be surprising that he could suppress him. But now it is just a capital city and it is somewhat exaggerated to say that he can be suppressed.
Even he, a Golden Immortal, is in such a state. Those demons and monsters would probably be destroyed by the power of humanity before they even get here.
Is this the heritage of the human race?
Shen Gongbao was originally thinking about facing the power of both the Human Sect and the Orthodox Sect, and he was a little nervous. But now it seems that he is still very confident. The human race is so powerful, so he is confident enough.
"The Immortal Shen Gongbao is ahead?"
At this moment, two people appeared at the door. Shen Gongbao was seen in the crowd at a glance. It was because Shen Gongbao's temperament was so outstanding that if he was not concealed, he could be seen as extraordinary at a glance when standing in the crowd.
Shen Gongbao was also surprised when he heard this and looked at the two people who were coming towards him.
They are two mortals, but they both have a force of humanity in their bodies. If they can be mobilized, it will be enough to make their strength reach that of a mysterious immortal.
Is this the so-called power of fortune?
Shen Gongbao felt a little emotional, but he was more concerned about how the two people in front of him knew he was coming. They looked like people from the Shang Dynasty court, and they took the initiative to greet him here. Could it be that his senior brother had already made some arrangements?
Thinking of this, Shen Gongbao was even more shocked, and felt a fear of being dominated.
It is said that people from Jiejiao are not suitable for planning, but now it seems that it is not entirely true. Isn’t that freak, our senior brother, the one who made the move?
"I wonder who you two are?"
Seeing Shen Gongbao's response, the two of them smiled even more.
"I am honored to be appointed as the Imperial Attendant by the Emperor's trust. I am Fei Zhong and he is You Hun. We are here on the Emperor's orders to welcome the Immortal Master into the city. Please go in first."
It really is the arrangement of the Human Emperor.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Shen Gongbao majored in the way of destiny, so he could naturally see the fate of the two people in front of him. They were rich for half their lives, but ended up in a miserable state. Their original fate should have been like this. According to such a fate, the two should have been treacherous ministers, but now it seems that this fate has changed. Instead, it is a fate of wealth and prosperity throughout life, and a rapid rise. Here, Shen Gongbao felt that the way of heaven was suppressed by the way of man.
The original destinies of these two people were changed by the power of humanity. Is this the power of Yunchao?
"Thank you both for your help."
Following the two men into the city, Shen Gongbao looked at the happy faces of the people in the city and felt deeply touched.
Before, he always liked to compete with Jiang Ziya. Jiang Ziya learned military strategies and so on, and he did not fall behind. He knew that the most important thing in the struggle for the throne was the people's hearts.
Today's Human Emperor is obviously very popular, as can be seen from the happiness on the faces of the people.
He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world. Shen Gongbao seemed to have realized something in his mind and was more confident about what to do next.
"Today's Da Shang is changing with each passing day, and the people are getting richer. Thanks to the wisdom of our emperor, the efforts of Da Shang's civil and military officials, and the support of policies, the official system of Da Shang has been reformed.
From top to bottom, there are nine ranks of civil and military officials.
Among the civil officials, the Three Dukes are the first and rank first, followed by the Nine Ministers and rank second. The six departments of Personnel, Revenue, Punishment, Rites, Works, and War have one Shangshu position and rank second. There are also Left and Right Vice Ministers, Four Great Doctors, etc. The second and third ranks are spread across various departments to assist in managing court affairs.
The division of political work will naturally lead to higher efficiency.
The five officials are headed by the general, who is of the first rank. The General of Cavalry and the General of Guards are of the second rank. The four generals in front, behind, left and right are of the second rank. Below them are the four generals of expedition, four generals of garrison, four generals of peace, four generals of security, the generals of the lieutenant generals, the commanders of the dukes, the colonels, etc., who fill the army and assist the general and the grand marshal of the three officials in handling military affairs.
In the court.
Our emperor is the leader and he rules the world together with the national teacher Kunlun.
Prime Minister Shang Rong, Grand Commandant Wen Zhong, Imperial Censor Bigan, Dongbo Marquis Jiang Huanchu, who is now the Grand Master, Beibo Marquis Chonghouhu, who is now the Junior Master, and General Huang Feihu, these people are respected in the court now. When the Immortal comes, he will definitely be used by our emperor. When the time comes, we will need the Immortal to help us."
Shen Gongbao took a deep look at the two of them. It really did not disgrace their previous fate at all. It was really a good thing for him.
The situation in the court was no secret, though, and he would know it after spending some time in the court. However, it would be of great benefit to know it first. The two in front of him obviously knew it, and they told him everything. It seemed that these two not only had the potential to be treacherous ministers, but also had strong abilities!
That’s right, with the wisdom of the Human Emperor, if the two people in front of him were only good at flattering, he would never keep them by his side.
Outside the palace.
At this time, groups of women were queuing up to enter the palace.
"This is?"
"Oh, recently, my emperor is selecting concubines. These are all good girls who came to participate in the selection. These are just the girls in Chaoge City. Later, there will be girls from various states to participate. My emperor is diligent in government affairs. Now, there are only two ladies in the harem. The queen is the daughter of the Grand Tutor, and the imperial concubine is the sister of General Huang Feihu.
The Queen already has two princes, and the Imperial Consort is also pregnant.
However, this is not enough. Now that the Shang Dynasty is thriving, it is inevitable to select a concubine. The most popular candidate for this selection is Su Daji, the daughter of Jizhou Hou Su Hu. She should enter Chaoge City in three days, and the Immortal will be able to see her then."
Shen Gongbao couldn't help feeling a little strange when he heard that, and looked at Fei Zhong and You Hun, "You guys are so naughty, he doesn't even care about the woman of the Human Emperor."
Shen Gongbao didn't feel anything about the Human Emperor's selection of concubines. They practiced Taoism and did not care about women. Only a few cultivators had the need to harmonize yin and yang, and most of the others just walked the path alone. But for the human race, this seemed to be a necessity. Just like the Human Emperor Xuanyuan among the Three Emperors, it was said that he had three thousand concubines. Three thousand was probably more than that.
From this perspective, Emperor Xin only had two concubines in his harem, which was indeed a bit too few.
After entering the palace, Fei Zhong and You Hun took Shen Gongbao straight to the main hall.
At this time, Emperor Xin was handling government affairs. In front of him were the Three Dukes Shang Rong, Wen Zhong and Bigan. General Huang Feihu, Grand Tutor Jiang Huanchu and Junior Tutor Chong Houhu were also present.
"Now the fiefs of the Eastern Marquis and the Northern Marquis have been taken in almost completely. The next step is to slowly manage them so that there won't be any chaos. However, the Southern Marquis and the Western Marquis have been in frequent contact recently."
Emperor Xin said this with a smile on his face, but those in the palace all knew a little about him.
It looked like he was saying this with a smile, but the murderous intent mixed in it was not weak at all.
I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Marquis Nanbo and Marquis Xibo.
With the current strength of the Shang Dynasty, they don’t think that Marquis Nanbo and Marquis Xibo alone can be the opponent of the Shang Dynasty. They are afraid that they will be easily crushed.
Moreover, it would have been fine if the Duke of Xibo had done anything wrong, but the Duke of Nanbo actually dared to meddle in the matter.
Jiang Huanchu and Chong Houhu couldn't help but feel a little excited at this time. If these two weren't miserable, how could they highlight their wisdom in surrendering early?
Isn't this coming now?
"My emperor, Lord Fei and Lord You have welcomed the return of Immortal Shen Gongbao."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Xin couldn't help but laugh. "Haha, everyone, I have a great talent for you. He was recommended by the Imperial Master. His talent may not be inferior to yours."
Everyone was also surprised when they heard this. Recommended by the Imperial Master?
To this day, although the National Master rarely appears in public, let alone in the court, his reputation has reached the point where no one can ignore him even if he does not appear. Just look at the attitude of the Human Emperor. He treats the National Master with more respect than he treats Wen Zhong, and Wen Zhong seems to respect the National Master very much as well, which shows how powerful he is.
Now that someone recommended by the national teacher has come, how can we underestimate him?
