Volume 5: The World of Conferred Gods Chapter 5: Ten years, the beginning of the catastrophe, the establishment of the dynasty
Jiale was immediately satisfied when he heard this.
Now Jiejiao is like the kingdom in his palm, and he can do whatever he wants with it from now on.
"Well, in that case, you all must be more vigilant in the future. I have just joined my sect. Although I love you all very much, for the future of my sect, I will take action when the time comes.
Next, I will divide the training areas on Jin'ao Island for everyone according to their cultivation level and the time of their entry. I didn't have any rules before, but I will have them in the future. The first thing to avoid is disobeying your teachers."
Well, there's nothing wrong with this, it's necessary.
When they heard that Jiale was going to make rules, they were startled at first, wondering what Jiale was going to do. But when they heard this, they all nodded immediately. This rule must be followed no matter where they go, not to mention that Master Tongtian is so good to them.
"The second rule is that fellow disciples are not allowed to kill each other."
Yes! This is also necessary. Looking at the fellow disciples, relatives and friends around them, these Jiejiao disciples couldn't help but look more kind. They are brothers from the same sect, how could they kill them.
"The third one..."
Then Jiale promulgated nearly a hundred regulations, all of which were reasonable and popular. Even the disciples of Jiejiao felt that it was necessary after hearing them. They thought that even if Jiale did not promulgate these regulations, they would abide by them. Jiale looked at these people and nodded.
It's fine if you agree to it. Even though they are just ordinary regulations, Jiale dares to say that it won't be long before someone breaks them.
The more common the rules are, the easier it is for cultivators who cannot concentrate on their cultivation to violate them, but they just don't take it too seriously at this moment.
The disciples of Jiejiao are of varying quality. Based on their cultivation alone, they are divided into many levels, ranging from cultivators at the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation level to Primordial Golden Immortals.
Most of them are below the Golden Immortal level, and a watershed begins to appear above the Golden Immortal level.
The number of cultivators above the Golden Immortal level is less than one percent of the disciples of Jiejiao.
In other words, among these more than ten thousand disciples, there are not even a hundred Golden Immortals. This shows that it is hard to obtain the fruit of the Tao and the great Tao.
Jiale divided Jin'ao Island into six layers. The sixth layer is the outermost layer, which is where the disciples below the fairyland are. The fifth layer is where the True Immortals practice, the fourth layer is where the Mysterious Immortals practice, the third layer is where the Golden Immortals practice, and the second layer is where the Taiyi Golden Immortals practice. The first layer is where the Daluo Golden Immortals and above practice.
In fact, cultivators above the level of Golden Immortal had their own places of practice on Jin'ao Island.
Apart from Duobao Taoist and a few others, there are almost no other Daluo Jinxian.
After allocating the places for cultivation, Jiale also established a duel place to deal with personal conflicts. Private fighting is not allowed in other places. It is almost unrealistic to prevent these cultivators, who are mainly trained by eating raw meat and drinking blood, from fighting. In the past, they lived in separate places and would go out to commit crimes, so naturally there would be no problem. But it is different now. Now that they live close to each other, the situation is different.
Even if they are relatives and live close to each other, things can still be a mess.
When it comes to the ways of the world, Jiale knows much more than them.
The previously peaceful Jin'ao Island suddenly .
Jia Le looked at these disciples, especially the ones with evil thoughts in their eyes, and couldn't help but smile. There were still too many of them. Although the more disciples the better, we couldn't accept disciples of all levels. Some disciples were obviously not worthy of being disciples of this saint.
Just like Jiale said, if the positions on the List of Gods are not filled, we will not be able to get through this catastrophe. In this case, let's plan a good future for those disciples. They are not really going to die anyway, and it is better to suck blood in Heaven than in Jiejiao.
With an idea in mind, Taoist Tongtian called Jiale over and prepared to give him some special treatment.
The disciple-accepting ceremony has been held and the treasures have been bestowed, but the preaching has not yet begun. Now that Jiale has made arrangements here, it’s time to proceed.
Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.
During these ten years, the disciples of Jiejiao came to know how vicious Jiale's hundreds of regulations were. Originally, they thought they were commonplace and there was nothing that could not be followed. However, when they actually followed them, they discovered that they were controlling them like a tight hoop.
In just ten years, those disciples who were unable to concentrate on their cultivation began to become restless.
If people become irritable, things will easily go wrong. Those who had personal grudges in the past will start looking for them again on Jin'ao Island.
Jiale's influence is still there, so they naturally don't dare to fight on their own, but they can do it on the duel stage. However, this duel stage is not for nothing. It depends on life and death. Once on the duel stage, only one person can come down. In other words, one person must die on the duel stage. This is not for fun.
Therefore, as long as one can exercise restraint, he will not be so irrational as to take office.
If the difference in skills between the two duelists is too great, the weaker one obviously won't be stupid enough to seek death on the stage.
Therefore, this dueling arena has not been used much in the past ten years.
However, today, it was finally used.
There are two disciples in the Soul Realm. Both of them have reached the peak of the Soul Realm, but have been unable to break through the bottleneck. In fact, they all know the reason, which is the limitation of their aptitude. This is a world that looks at innate aptitude. For most creatures, their upper limit is determined when they are born. Just like the two in front of them, the Soul Realm is their limit.
After ten years of training, he had made no progress and was extremely frustrated. It just so happened that the two of them had a grudge against each other before, and when they met, they could not agree on a few words and ended up on this duel stage.
The dueling arena was finally going to be used, and all the disciples of Jiejiao, especially those who couldn't sit still, came to watch the fun.
Even Duobao and the others were watching secretly.
Jiale and Tongtian Taoist were also watching the progress of the matter in the Biyou Palace using the mirror technique.
"Chun Yang, do you want to clean up a group of disciples?"
Tongtian looked at Jiale dimly, unable to understand the meaning of his words. Jiale shook his head and said, "We are all fellow disciples. How could a disciple have such thoughts? It's just like these two junior brothers. Due to their limited qualifications, they can only reach the Yuanshen realm. There is no way for them to practice further. In other words, their immortal path has ended.
However, if the path to immortality is blocked, one can try other paths, like the Shinto path. Disciples have heard of it. The Shinto path does not value aptitude, but rather values incense, luck, status and other factors. For them, perhaps switching to the Shinto path is a more suitable path. As for the so-called freedom, they are disciples of the Jiejiao. Haotian will not give them face, but will give his master's face, and will not make things difficult for them.
Sometimes, the best is the one that suits you best. Of course, the disciples won't force them, but if they step onto the duel stage, that might be fate's arrangement."
Tongtian couldn't help but fall silent when he heard this. What he said was really well-reasoned and could not be refuted. However, seeing that his disciples were really going to retreat from the sacred way, Tongtian still felt a little uncomfortable, as if he had given up on these disciples. However, Tongtian was not a saint. Just like Jiale said, everything was fate and it was all his own choice. In that case, what else could he do?
Do we have to carry them forward one by one?
On the duel stage, the battle had already begun, but Jia Le was not in the mood to watch the fight at the Soul Realm. Instead, he closed his eyes and digested what he had gained over the past ten years.
Only then did Jia Le understand why the four words personally taught by the saint were so precious.
In just ten years, he had achieved 20% of the Yin-Yang Dao. If he were to practice on his own, it would probably take tens of thousands of years to achieve this.
The closer you get to the end of your cultivation, the more difficult it becomes. When you reach the stage of Hunyuan Jinxian, it is extremely difficult. Each step needs to be measured in tens of thousands of years or even Yuanhui.
But now, because of the preaching of Taoist Tongtian, Jiale has saved tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years, which really makes Jiale happy.
Taoist Tongtian looked at Jiale and nodded when he saw that Jiale was closing his eyes to digest what he had learned.
Jiale is much better than Duobao in both aptitude and character, especially in character. Taoist Duobao has been accepted as a disciple by Taoist Tongtian since he was born. With his protection, although he has grown up along the way and has reached the current quasi-saint level due to his extraordinary innate aptitude, he still lacks a lot of experience.
On the other hand, Jiale seemed to have gone through thousands of trials and tribulations. His state of mind was calm and he did not need any supervision. He was able to seize every opportunity to improve his cultivation.
This is extremely rare. The future of Jiejiao will probably depend on Jiale.
The most important thing is that he can feel that Jiale's feelings towards him, Jiejiao, and several disciples are all sincere, which is very rare. After all, Jiale just became a disciple of Hunyuan Jinxian, and it hasn't been long since he became so devoted to Jiejiao. It is really rare. Of course, Tongtian Taoist thinks that most of the reason lies with him. This may be his personal charm.
boom!
Not long after, a roar was heard from the duel arena in the mirror. It turned out that one of the disciples, seeing that he was defeated, simply blew himself up. The one on the opposite side was already at the end of his strength, and such a self-explosion was simply impossible for him to resist, and they died together. In the end, both of them died together.
No one could have imagined such a result, and all the disciples fell silent.
On the duel stage, two souls were pulled towards the sky by an unknown force.
Everyone saw this scene, and thinking of what Jia Le had said before, their restless hearts couldn't help but calm down a little. They would really die, and they would really be on the list.
Kunlun Mountains.
The Heavenly Book of the List of Gods was handed over to Yuanshi Tianzun by Hongjun Daozu. From this we can see that Hongjun Daozu was not without attitude, but Tongtian Daoist refused to accept his fate and wanted to fight for it. Unfortunately, he almost lost himself.
At this time, Yuanshi Tianzun was in the process of enlightenment, and suddenly his mind moved. Two souls directly entered Kunlun Mountain and then fell directly into the List of Gods in front of him.
After these two divine souls fell, two more names appeared in the List of Gods.
In fact, in the List of Gods at this time, there are not only these two names, but also dozens of names, all of which were signed by the Three Purities before. However, the people represented by these names are not dead yet. Although their fate is already doomed because of the actions of the Three Purities, the catastrophe has not yet begun, and they can still survive for a while.
Therefore, these two disciples of Jiejiao were the first two to enter the List of Gods.
According to their cultivation level, these two guys are actually not worthy of being worshipped as true gods. However, there are always benefits for being the first to try something new, and there are also benefits for being the first to die. It is as if the heaven is rewarding someone for finally taking the lead, and the two guys were promoted to the position of true gods as an exception.
Although they are just ordinary star gods with low status and authority in heaven, they are still righteous gods. With the blessing of luck, the righteous gods in heaven can at least display the cultivation of true immortals. In other words, these two guys have ascended to the sky in one step and directly broken through from the Yuanshen realm to the true immortal realm.
This can't be said to be a good thing or a bad thing.
Two stars in the sky suddenly flashed, they were very inconspicuous, but Yuanshi Tianzun noticed them and his face became even gloomier.
"What's going on?"
The catastrophe hasn't started yet, why are some people on the list?
After counting with his fingers, even the sage Yuanshi Tianzun couldn't help but change his expression. The great catastrophe has already begun!
What's going on? It's not time yet.
Everything is in chaos! The destiny is in chaos, the catastrophe has come, it seems that something has derailed the catastrophe.
The Song City of the Shang Dynasty.
Wen Zhong looked at Emperor Xin on the altar with his eyes full of disbelief. At this moment, he actually felt that Emperor Xin was a little strange.
As the Grand Tutor, Wen Zhong had taught Emperor Xin since he was a child. As Emperor Xin's teacher, he naturally knew Emperor Xin very well and knew that he was far better than the court officials thought.
After hearing from court officials that Emperor Xin had appointed a national teacher, Wen Zhong thought it was ridiculous, but he was not too worried. He knew that Emperor Xin would not act recklessly. But just in case, he ended the rebellion as soon as possible and returned to Chaoge. After seeing Kunlun, his face changed.
Hunyuan Jinxian is the national teacher! He is a little unsure.
Just when Wen Zhong was about to report to his master, the Golden Spirit Mother, Kunlun directly accepted Wen Zhong as his younger brother as the deputy leader of the Jiejiao.
After Wen Zhong was confirmed by the Golden Spirit Holy Mother, he no longer had any doubts and followed Kunlun.
Then he witnessed the rise of Emperor Xin.
Emperor Xin practiced human martial arts and reached a level comparable to that of a Golden Immortal. However, at this point, the path of martial arts was over, and the Human Emperor could not practice the way of the gods, because the way of immortals was poison to him. However, Wen Zhong did not know where Emperor Xin obtained the follow-up methods of martial arts, and he actually began to rapidly cultivate with the support of the human race's luck.
That’s not all.
Ji, Yan, Xu, Qing, Yang, Jing, Yu, Yong, and Liang were the nine provinces of the Shang Dynasty, and Chaoge City was the center of them.
There were eight hundred vassal states under the Shang Dynasty, but eight hundred was just a rough number. Today, the number has already exceeded eight hundred.
Among these eight hundred town princes, the strongest are Jiuzhou Hou and Sibo Hou.
The Marquis of Jiuzhou are the nine marquises who occupy Jiuzhou. However, these nine marquises only rule Jiuzhou in name. The real situation is that Jiuzhou is directly ruled by the royal family of Da Shang. The military power and taxation of Jiuzhou are directly controlled by the court. It can be seen at a glance that even if it is divided into more parts, Jiuzhou is the center of the human race, and this is unshakable.
Although as the Shang Dynasty's rule lasted for a long time, some of the Nine Provinces Marquises either actively or passively forgot about these things and began to control the military power and conceal the truth from their superiors and subordinates, the facts will not change.
Therefore, although Jiuzhou Hou has a great reputation, his strength is not as good as Sibo Hou.
That is, the so-called Dongbohou, Xibohou, Nanbohou and Beibohou.
These four marquises each commanded two hundred lords. Of course, the number was definitely much more than two hundred. They were the real frontier officials who had absolute autonomy over their fiefdoms. All they had to do was pay tribute every year.
As time passed, even the Shang Emperor mainly tried to win over the four marquises.
For example, before Emperor Xin ascended the throne, he married the daughter of Dongbo Hou Jiang Huanchu as his queen, who is now Queen Jiang, under the arrangement of Emperor Yi.
Queen Jiang can be said to be virtuous and kind in every way.
Now she has given birth to two sons for Emperor Xin, named Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, and her position is even more stable.
Emperor Xin married Queen Jiang in order to win over Jiang Huanchu. It was rumored that Jiang Huanchu, Marquis of Dongbo, was an upright and strong man. He was the leader of the eight hundred princes in the world of King Zhou of Shang and the governor of the two hundred princes in East Lu.
However, no matter what his personality is, his power is unquestionable. He is undoubtedly the leader of the eight hundred princes in the town.
He was the most powerful person under Emperor Xin, especially after he became Emperor Xin's father-in-law.
With thousands of good generals and millions of soldiers, who can underestimate them?
Ever since Emperor Xin married Queen Jiang, Duke Dongbo has been very close to Emperor Xin, just like a family. However, everyone knows that they are only a family when their interests do not conflict with each other, but once their interests are conflicted, the relationship may not be the same anymore.
Today, the eight hundred town princes have become too powerful to be eliminated.
Wen Zhong knew Emperor Xin’s ambition, but it was difficult.
Ten years ago, when he returned to the court, Emperor Xin actually entrusted the important affairs of the court to him, and then led his troops directly to the rebellious Dongyi. He ignored the opposition of court officials and led the army in person. It took him a full ten years to conquer all the Dongyi. Eight million Dongyi subjects were enslaved and the territory of one state was expanded. Just when the court officials were praising Emperor Xin and wondering how many more vassal states would be added in this great trade fair, and whether they would have a share.
Emperor Xin did not even confer a title on a vassal state. Instead, he listed the territory of the Dongyi as the tenth state of the Shang Dynasty, Yizhou, and appointed General Lu Xiong as the governor of the state. He also selected two trusted civil officials in the court to assist him. The three of them were in charge of military and political affairs, forming the three giants of the newly established Yizhou to guard Yizhou. This move stunned the people in the court.
Then he seemed to have thought of something and began to feel confused and uncertain.
It seems that Emperor Xin has other thoughts. How can this be possible?
It would work or not. Emperor Xin returned to the court with a great victory. With a great victory, he expanded the territory by one state and saved the country from the disaster caused by the barbarians. This instantly elevated Emperor Xin's status in the hearts of the people of Shang. The people respected him and the court officials were in awe of him. The first thing Emperor Xin did after returning to Chaoge was to reward people according to their merits.
Then he summoned Jiuzhou Hou to Chaoge. At that time, the Shang Dynasty was at its peak, so Jiuzhou Hou did not dare to have too many ideas and immediately came to Chaoge following the order.
Then we saw that Emperor Xin left the nine people in Chaoge City and began to imitate the operation in Yizhou, selecting one military and two civil officials to start controlling the military and political affairs of Kyushu.
Among them, the four states close to the Four Marquisates chose Zhang Guifang, Zhang Kui, Han Rong and Yu Hualong as the state lords to guard them. These four people were all instructed by Emperor Xin's national teacher Kunlun and were regarded as his confidants. In Emperor Xin's view, they were all useful people. Not only these four people, but also Lu Xiong before, Hu Lei later and so on, had all been regarded as confidants by Emperor Xin and began to use them.
This series of actions by Emperor Xin made those who were interested guess some of his intentions. However, Emperor Xin did not depose the Jiuzhou Marquis, nor did he seize their fiefdoms. He just returned everything to its original state, and the taxes and military power were back under Emperor Xin's control.
At this time, the Marquis of Jiuzhou was completely confused. Emperor Xin had an idea and was going to attack them directly.
However, this move left the Jiuzhou Marquis with no way out. After all, they could not rebel, and Emperor Xin did not do anything out of line. Everything was within the rules. They could only endure it and wanted to return to Jiuzhou as soon as possible and then find a solution. However, Emperor Xin actually kept them and would not let them leave. He also summoned eight hundred lords to go to Chaoge together.
With the precedent of the Marquis of Jiuzhou, the princes of the eight hundred towns suddenly became a little worried, wondering if Emperor Xin wanted to take action against them.
However, the Shang Dynasty was at its peak at that time, so they could not rebel. They could only hand over the affairs of the fiefdom to the chosen successor and then go to Chaoge.
At this time, the princes of eight hundred towns and all the officials had arrived, and they only then knew what Emperor Xin was going to do.
Good luck!
To be honest, the officials of the Shang Dynasty had no idea what the Yun Dynasty was like. But Emperor Xin said that after the opening of the Yun Dynasty, everyone in the Shang Dynasty would be like a dragon, blessed with good fortune and extraordinary power, even more powerful than the immortals who were high and mysterious. They could even rely on the fortune of the dynasty to achieve immortality, just like the immortals in heaven.
Upon hearing about immortality, these court officials, even the eight hundred lords, could no longer remain calm and agreed immediately.
Wen Zhong seemed to have thought of something , but he just couldn't believe it. This was going to poke a hole in the sky.
Wen Zhong knew that both martial arts and fortune were probably the work of the deputy leader. This was the plan of his Jiejiao, so Wen Zhong naturally supported it strongly.
And Kunlun had already prepared what Yunchao needed.
The Nine Provinces Tripods were gathered in Chaoge City, the altar had been built, and all the necessary items for sacrifice were ready.
Today is the day when the Great Shang Dynasty is established.
"The Great Dao is above...Now there is a great merchant, Emperor Xin, who has established a dynasty...I hope the Great Dao will take notice."
The object of Emperor Xin's sacrifice was not the Way of Heaven, but the Way of the Great Dao. He was the Emperor of Man and would always be the Emperor of Man, not the Son of Heaven.
After the Heavenly Dao dared not roar, the Great Dao appeared in this world and directly suppressed the Heavenly Dao. It seemed that the Great Shang Dynasty had been recognized by the Great Dao. Outside the city of Chaoge, Kong Xuan felt his luck rising. As the luck totem of the Great Shang Dynasty, he knew that the Great Shang Dynasty was undergoing a great change, and this great change seemed to be of great benefit to him.
"allow!"
