2000 Years of Eternal Life

Chapter 106 Heavenly Emperor
God?

Xie Cang did not answer after hearing the words, but fell into a long silence, as if thinking about something.

Du Heng was not in a hurry, so he continued to sit on the jade platform and wait.

Based on his understanding of this master, he would not have agreed rashly before he figured out the situation.

Sure enough, after a long time, Xie Cang cupped his hands and asked, "Dare to ask 'Emperor of Heaven' what is the answer?"

Du Heng smiled and said: "Emperor of Heaven, as the name suggests, is the emperor of the heavens, who acts on behalf of the heavens and controls the gods. If Daoist Xie agrees, he can be the emperor of this world and rule the heavenly court that is about to be established."

"..." Xie Cang fell into silence again. In his opinion, what this mysterious man said was so unbelievable that he even wondered if it was his hallucination before he died.

"I have clearly passed my lifespan, and I should return my soul to heaven and earth, disappearing into thin air, why did I come to this strange place, and I saw this mysterious man who said he wanted me to be the Emperor of Heaven.

"Even if what this person said is true, there are really heavenly gods to be established, there are really so-called gods, and there is really a need for a heavenly emperor, then why me?"

He couldn't figure it out, he couldn't think of the reason why he was summoned here and let himself be the Emperor of Heaven. In his 20 years of life experience, there was no chance that could be related to this.

"Or, is this actually a trick of the evil gods from outside the territory?" Xie Cang's heart suddenly became alert, and he said to himself, "Could it be that the evil gods from outside the territory took my soul away when I was about to die, and wanted to use it to use me To deal with Xu Jing?

"But now Xu Jing should be in my mourning hall. With his current level of cultivation, it is impossible not to notice the abnormal state of my death. If the evil gods from outside the territory can really use such a powerful method, they will completely deceive him. Perception, I am afraid there is no need to use me.

"However, this matter is full of doubts after all, it's too strange..."

The thoughts in Xie Cang's mind were mixed, and he kept changing his guesses. It was too weird to encounter such a thing when he was dying, and the words said by this mysterious man were too weird, which made it difficult for him to rest assured.

"Daoist Xie is worried about my purpose?" Du Heng asked with a smile.In fact, he had expected this a long time ago, and he was already prepared, "Where are the Gods of Water, God of Earth, and God of Metal?"

"What?!" Xie Cang was shocked when he heard this.

Immediately, three different colors of lights lit up beside the jade platform in front.

They are -

Black Water Divine Light, Loess Divine Light, Platinum Divine Light!
After a while, the three rays of light dissipated, and three figures of a woman and two men appeared here, and "they" all knew Xie Cang.

Especially Water God and Metal God, Xie Cang has met them many times.

"Several gods, this is..." The expression on Xie Cang's face was full of shock, and the conversations with these three people before quickly emerged in his mind. The figure above, exclaimed, "Your Excellency is Dao Zun?!"

In the past few years, the tentacles of Dao palace gatherings have penetrated into the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty. For the current high-level officials, it is no secret that there is an extremely mysterious sect organization secretly promoting changes in the world.

The God of Water, the God of Gold, and the God of Earth, the three most powerful beings in the world, and the other two Gods of Wood and Fire who rarely show up, are all members of this mysterious organization, and they are the gods of the Five Elements.

Anyone who is a little familiar with these people knows that the God of the Five Elements is not the leader of that mysterious sect organization, and above them there is a supreme existence called "Taoist".

Although this Daoist has never met before, just his existence is enough to be remembered in people's hearts.

After all, the strength of the gods of the Five Elements is too strong, any one of them is the most peak existence in the world, and in the eyes of many people, it is already an invincible existence.

And Dao Zun is above them!
What a terrifying strength this is!

Xie Cang had heard about this mysterious Taoist for a long time, but he didn't expect that he would meet him in this situation. He was at a loss immediately, and said with cupped hands, "Xie Cang pays homage to Senior Daoist."

In his opinion, since this Daoist is so powerful, his cultivation time must be far longer than his own. Compared with him, he must be regarded as a junior, so it should be appropriate to call him a senior.

"..." Du Heng turned his body slightly sideways under the mist, and he didn't receive Xie Cang's bow, but he didn't say anything to correct him either.

The best thing to say about this kind of thing is not to explain it. The more you explain, the easier it is to make people suspicious, and it is possible to find out their true identity.

"Xie Daoist, don't worry, and don't have to doubt." The water god said at this time, smiling, "Dao Zun does have the idea of ​​​​opening up the heavens and establishing the gods. Then, it will be much easier.”

"Water god, Taoist priest, actually I don't want to doubt you." Xie Cang hurriedly explained, "It's just that this happened suddenly, and I didn't figure out the way for a while, so I can only ask for some information as carefully as possible, so Feel more at ease."

"It's okay, it's better to be more cautious." Du Heng nodded lightly, and smiled, "So, Daoist Xie, do you trust me?"

"Of course I believe it." Xie Cang also nodded, and his whole body relaxed a lot, and then asked, "However, can Daoist allow me to ask some questions?"

"Of course." Du Heng nodded and smiled, "But it doesn't matter."

Regarding the plans of the Heavenly God Court, there is nothing he can't say, and there's nothing he can't ask. He won't restrict people from asking questions, let alone select comments.

"If you are the Emperor of Heaven, can you still retain your identity in life?" Xie Cang asked.

"Yes, but there are restrictions." Du Heng explained, "Among the gods and gods in the heavens, the identities in life are not kept secret, but they cannot be revealed to the living in the world."

"That is to say, I can no longer appear in the world as Xie Cang." Xie Cang pondered for a while, as if thinking of something, "Dao Zun wants to make the matter of conferring the gods a fixed formula?"

"That's right." Du Heng nodded and said, "After conferring a god, you can live forever, and you can also grasp great authority and power. The Heavenly God Court was first created, and there will be more people conferring gods in the future.

"If there are no restrictions on the communication between humans and gods, so that everyone knows about the gods after death, it will make the living lose their motivation to practice martial arts, leading to a series of serious consequences."

"If that's the case, the Daoist is very thoughtful." Xie Cang admired sincerely. He obviously thought of this, so he asked the question like that just now, and then asked, "Dare to ask why the Venerable wants to create a heavenly court, and why does he want to seal it?" Gods?"

"Daoist Xie should also be able to think of it." Du Heng smiled, "Naturally, it is to resist the Central Thick Soil Lord who came here more than ten years later. The power of the gods of the heavenly court came to resist."

Having said that, he paused, and then asked Xie Cang, "Xie Daoist, would you like to be the Emperor of Heaven now?"

Xie Cang respectfully saluted and said, "I'm determined to make my wish, but I dare not ask for it. Thank you Dao Zun for granting me the title!"

……

In Jinxiading Ziqi Palace, everyone was still immersed in grief.

Xie Cang's body was sitting cross-legged among a group of disciples, with no life left.

At this moment, an illusory light and shadow that no one could see suddenly appeared in the void three feet above the corpse.

The appearance of light and shadow is exactly the same as that of Xie Cang when he was middle-aged, but instead of wearing Taoist robes, he is wearing a crown and a purple gold gown.

It was Xie Cang who had been conferred the title of Heavenly Emperor by Du Heng as a Daoist.

The effect of the Longhu Mountain Dao Seed is extremely terrifying. Although the title of Heavenly Emperor can only be granted to one, and the requirements for the level of the soul are also extremely high, it can make him have a strength comparable to one-tenth of his own.

Du Heng didn't know how powerful he was now, but even if it was only one-tenth of his own strength, he only needed to breathe a sigh of relief to wipe out those evil gods from other regions who had descended to this world before.

This is just the strength of a Heavenly Emperor.

Next, Du Heng can confer the titles of the God of the Mountain, the Gods of the Eight Divisions, the Universal Astrology, the Stars of the All Heavens, etc., and jointly form a complete heavenly court.

At that time, he will be able to integrate the power of the entire heaven, and such power will be extremely terrifying.

It can definitely cause some "heavenly shock" to the evil gods from outside the world who descended on this world.

However, the current Heavenly Emperor Xie Cang is still a loner, not to mention his subordinates assisting his gods, even the heavenly gods are still in the stage of painting cakes.

Now he can only stay in the Ziqi Palace, and then move to the Heavenly Court after the mysterious Daoist opens up the Heavenly Court.

At this time, Xie Cang was hovering above his corpse, looking at a disciple who was in grief, feeling very complicated.

He never thought that he would still have the time to look back at the world.

Although after becoming the emperor of heaven, he can no longer communicate with the living, but no matter what, he will still exist in this world forever, which is fundamentally different from real death.

"What a great fortune." Xie Cang said with emotion from the bottom of his heart.

Originally, when he was about to die and become immortal, he had already decided to let go of everything in the world and no longer be attached. Now that he looked back at the world, he found that those obsessions that he had let go had returned.

Xie Cang took a closer look at his disciples, and finally his eyes rested on Du Heng. He was very grateful for his talented disciple and grandson.

Although neither the Daoist nor the Water God mentioned Du Heng, he knew in his heart that the reason why he was chosen as the Heavenly Emperor by the mysterious Daoist should be due to his disciple.

After all, the close relationship between the water god and Du Heng is well known in the world. As early as when the old King Zhao Wei and Tian Xing were still there, the water god was helping Du Heng.

Now that decades have passed, Du Heng himself has also broken through to the Netherworld, and perhaps he has also occupied a place in that mysterious sect organization. It is probably his suggestion that he assume the position of Emperor of Heaven.

"I didn't expect to be able to inherit the favor of the younger generation after death." Xie Cang smiled, looking at Du Heng with gentle eyes, and then he flew up into the sky with a flash of his figure, his eyes lowered.

In an instant, you can have a panoramic view of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and the bustling world.

"The beauty of the world, how can it be destroyed by evil gods from outside!" Xie Cang's eyes became firm, and he said secretly, "For my younger generations, for Chunyang Temple, and for this world, we must do our best to help the Taoist priest complete his plan .”

After making Xie Cangchi the Emperor of Heaven, Du Heng gave him a special authority.

That is to choose the right person to be a god.

The gods of the mountains, the eight righteous gods, the universal astrology, and the stars of the heavens are all within its authority.

As long as Xie Cang meets a suitable candidate, those who are not the main god can be directly conferred by the Emperor of Heaven, and the main god only needs to be reported, and as long as they pass the review of the "Taoist", they can be conferred as a god.

After all, Du Heng still needs to cultivate himself, and he still has to think about how to create a lineage of Taoism in order to condense the "Yi Qi Zu" Tao seed, so he doesn't have much energy to focus on conferring gods.

It is quite normal for the Emperor of Heaven to choose the person who conferred the gods.

……

In the seventh year of Yanguang in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

Jinxia Mountain is full of plains. The funeral of the old temple master Xie Cang has begun. The whole Chunyang Temple is immersed in great grief. At the same time, it is snowing heavily, as if even the sky and the earth are mourning.

Many people came to express condolences to Xie Cang, from the Great Zhou court and from various sects, all of whom were affected by this sad atmosphere, and the whole condolence process was very quiet and solemn.

However, when the contemporary leader of the Taiyin Sect came to Xie Cang's mourning hall, it caused quite a commotion.

After all, only a very few people know the true relationship between the Pure Yang Temple and the Taiyin Sect, and even most of the disciples of the Pure Yang Temple are not clear about it. In the eyes of most people, the Taiyin Sect has always been the enemy of the Pure Yang Temple power.

Then, something even more shocking happened.

The leader of this generation of Taiyin Sect actually announced in front of everyone present that Taiyin Sect was officially merged into Chunyang Temple from today, and he himself would become a disciple of Chunyang Temple, in order to comfort Xie Cang's spirit in heaven.

Later, Lin Qinghe, the current master of Chunyang Temple, also came forward. Together with the master of Taiyin, he told about the true relationship between Chunyang Temple and Taiyin Cult, and the reasons for doing so.

It is only now that the world finally understands the secret of the original, and also more clearly realizes how far Da Zhao suppressed the sect back then.

The whole process was under the watchful eyes of Xie Cang. When he saw Lin Qinghe and Taiyin Hierarch standing together, and seeing Taiyin Hierarch salute to Patriarch Chunyang, he finally showed a relieved smile.

After the funeral, Du Heng started to open up the heavenly court, and at the same time, as a Taoist priest, worked out the details of the power of the gods together with Xie Cang.

Afterwards, he devoted himself to studying new cultivation methods.

For Du Heng, the preparations for the Heavenly God Court have been completed, and the next primary goal is to strive to condense the Dao Seed of "One Qi Ancestor" before the arrival of the Central Thick Earth Lord.

This is the key to increasing the odds of winning against the evil gods outside the battle zone!
