Ying Zheng said with a half-smile, "That's decisive. But the Xuan Tian Ring is out of the question. Your master is not so poor that I need to accept gifts from my disciples."

Jiang Tian's face lit up with even greater joy: "Disciple Jiang Tian greets Master!"

It is important to understand that a teacher and a master are completely different. In the cultivation world, a teacher is equivalent to the title that students of the Qingtian Dao Palace use for their teaching assistants. Although they have the name of master and disciple, they do not have the reality of being master and disciple.

The master is equivalent to the teacher, and is regarded as a son, who can inherit his mantle, connections and other benefits.

"Rise. There are not many rules for my disciples, only two prohibitions: never betray your master or ancestors, and never kill your fellow disciples. The rest are up to you. You are my second disciple, and as for your eldest brother, you will meet him in the future. Now that you have entered my sect, I will give you a gift." Ying Zheng said casually.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tian was puzzled by the senior brother's background—he had never heard of Master Ying Zheng taking on disciples, not even the top-ranked person on the Three Realms Hidden Dragon List had successfully become his disciple.

But they were soon drawn to the gift Ying Zheng mentioned.

Given the teacher's usual conduct, the gift he gives upon meeting must be extraordinary.

At this moment, Ying Zheng lightly touched the Xuan Tian Ring with his fingertip, and a vast and mighty power surged forth, instantly isolating heaven and earth. At this moment, Ying Zheng was like a ruler of immortals and demons.

He was surrounded by an aura of supreme holiness, and heaven and earth seemed to bow down beneath his feet, with the stars in the sky reflecting his glorious immortality.

This artistic conception deeply impressed Jiang Tian, ​​a country boy.

He stared in disbelief at the scene before him as the power of immortal rules began to repair the Xuan Tian Ring.

The Xuan Tian Ancestor, the spirit of the Xuan Tian Ring, was filled with disbelief: "This is definitely not a Golden Immortal! To be able to repair a Golden Immortal artifact so easily, one must be at least a Heavenly Venerable! Heavens! Just what kind of background does the host I chose have that he could be accepted as a disciple by a Heavenly Venerable!"

The Xuan Tian Ancestor no longer possessed the arrogance of a Golden Immortal artifact spirit. This was a disciple of the Heavenly Venerable, whose status was even more noble than that of a Golden Immortal.

What right does he, a mere Golden Immortal Artifact, have to be arrogant?
Moreover, by following the disciples of the Celestial Venerable, one day they may be able to transform their artifacts into spirits and become true living beings, rather than merely artifact spirits.

Thinking of this, the Xuan Tian Ancestor was greatly encouraged.

At the same time, Ying Zheng's solemn voice echoed in his ears:

"Do not reveal what you should not know at this stage. Assist him in his cultivation, and your own destiny will take care of it."

When Ying Zheng warned him, the Xuan Tian Ancestor replied with trepidation, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, I would never dare to interfere with your plan to cultivate your disciples!"

Seeing the anxious look on the Xuan Tian Ancestor's face, Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction and pointed a finger at Jiang Tian's spiritual platform.

A vast amount of information surged forth, and the profound techniques before me encompassed everything and contained the mysteries of the heavens.

"This is the Heavenly Cang Codex, the result of my deduction. It can lead directly to the realm of gods and demons. Cultivate it diligently."

After speaking, Ying Zheng's figure quietly disappeared, leaving Jiang Tian immersed in the artistic conception of the Heavenly Cang Codex.

Given its name, "Code of Laws," it must be a supreme method that directly points to the laws of the universe.

It should be understood that the most advanced cultivation techniques in the world can at most directly point to the laws of nature and thus achieve the Great Luo realm.

After the Great Luo, there were no more cultivation methods to guide him, which shows that Ying Zheng passed on all the essence of his life's cultivation.

The next morning, Jiang Tian woke up with a sense of awe: "As expected of my teacher, the cultivation method he bestowed upon me is so profound!"

Ancestor Xuantian couldn't help but complain, "Don't you even know what kind of existence Master is! Compared to him, the Taichang Qi Refining Technique you cultivated before is not even worthy of carrying his shoes!"

Jiang Tian was speechless with shock. His understanding was far inferior to that of the Xuan Tian Ancestor, and he only felt that the current technique was extremely profound.

The Taichang Qi Refining Technique he previously practiced was the one that the Taicang Divine Emperor made public, revealing his own cultivation methods for Qi refining and foundation building, hoping that all cultivators in the world would have an equal starting point.

This is already the most profound cultivation method in the Sky Dome Continent. After completing the Qi Refining and Foundation Building chapter, one can switch to other cultivation methods without any obstacles. It is also an unparalleled foundation building secret.

While immersed in the Heavenly Cang Codex, Jiang Tian had unknowingly switched his cultivation method.

He could feel his physical body and magical power being constantly strengthened and refined, and his whole being faintly exuded an artistic conception that was in harmony with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Jiang Tian was no longer willing to be the first to stick his neck out. As the class monitor, he had to handle many miscellaneous tasks, which might interfere with his cultivation.

Now that he possesses his own grotto-heaven, he still has many plans, such as planting spiritual herbs and practicing alchemy to exchange for resources.

After all, although his master repaired the Xuan Tian Ring and bestowed upon him cultivation techniques, he did not provide any resources. It seems that he must raise them himself.

Jiang Tian had no complaints about this, as he understood that it was a trial given to him by his master.

If you possess the Xuan Tian Ring and cultivate the all-encompassing Tian Cang Codex—which covers all aspects of immortal cultivation—yet you still cannot earn enough resources, you might as well find a noodle and commit suicide.

At this moment, Ying Zheng breathed a sigh of relief after accepting his disciple, as at least the first stage goal had been achieved.

There's no need to stay here any longer. Ying Zheng has already switched to cultivating this world's cultivation system during these six years.

However, he had already attained godhood and demonhood, and even the God Emperor of Taicang would probably find it difficult to compare.

Moreover, what kind of being is Ying Zheng? A divine thought avatar of a Primordial Dao Lord, capable of crushing even those of higher ranks, let alone those of the same rank.

Therefore, Ying Zheng is now preparing to investigate the true identity of the unknown mastermind behind the scenes.

Only by finding out who is standing behind the God of Starshine can one set up a trap.

He has been in this world for six years, and has infiltrated other realms many times, but has never found the person behind it all. He does not know whether it is the Great Luo Heavenly Venerable or the Primordial Dao Lord.

This shows how cunning this creature is; it seems that only by actively revealing itself can we lure it out of its hole.

At that moment, Ying Zheng lightly swiped his finger forward, and a spatial rift appeared. The other side of the rift connected to the alien Starry Continent.

The continent of Starshine is home to many nations, but whether they are duchies, kingdoms, or empires, they all submit to the Starshine Church.

Even when emperors of various countries ascend the throne, they still need the Pope to crown them before they can proceed.

The moment Ying Zheng stepped into the Starry Continent, the immortal light surrounding him transformed into a vast divine nature of destiny: "Destiny guides, and my wish will surely be fulfilled!"

Although the person behind the scenes is spreading a divine system, it cannot be ruled out that this is a cultivation method that is being spread casually to deceive people.

For Da Luo and Hunyuan Daozhu, such techniques can be deduced with ease.

However, when Ying Zheng first entered the Starry Continent, he appeared on a remote and winding path.

Then came the sounds of metal clanging and galloping horses.

"Tap tap tap tap... Clang..."

In the distance, dozens of elite knights escorted the carriage as it sped towards them.

Inside the carriage, Ying Zheng sensed divine fluctuations, indicating an existence at least at the fourth sequence level or higher.

The path to godhood is divided into nine tiers. The first tier is demigod, and the lowest tier is equivalent to the Body Tempering Realm. Their abilities are fixed, and even mortals can hunt them if they are well-prepared.

Above demigods are true gods, standing at the pinnacle of the hierarchy!

Reaching Sequence Four allows one to condense divinity. Ying Zheng could see the coffin carried by the chariot.

Four extraordinary individuals sat on either side, ready to defend the coffin with tense expressions.

A middle-aged man in a suit, exuding elegance, gently touched the mirror, in which Ying Zheng's image was reflected: "Appearing here and now, whether innocent or not, I can only send you to see His Majesty!"

A deep voice echoed in the ears of the knights. The charging knights, spears in hand, their eyes blazing with bloodlust, were like puppets carrying out orders.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng sighed softly, "Indeed, the guidance of fate is never wrong." Just as the spear was about to touch Ying Zheng, dozens of knights were sent flying backward with a thud.

"boom!"

Even the carriage fell apart, the inscriptions on it had no effect whatsoever, and all four extraordinary individuals guarding the coffin were sent flying.

All the changes happened in the blink of an eye. What they thought were lost lambs turned out to be ferocious beasts that preyed on people, catching them completely off guard.

The power Ying Zheng had just displayed was enough to terrify these extraordinary guardians. They were severely injured and their spirituality greatly diminished, blood gushing from their mouths, yet they still roared hoarsely, "Who on earth is this? Even angels themselves could not easily break through the protection of the gods!"

Ignoring the wailing of these ants, Ying Zheng stepped forward and gazed at the intact coffin.

The surface of the coffin was interwoven with divine radiance. Although this clone of his had just entered the realm of gods and demons, the power it had just unleashed was less than one percent of that of his original body.

However, the fact that the coffin was intact was a testament to its extraordinary nature, which only increased Ying Zheng's interest.

His body cultivates a self-created destiny sequence, possessing the ability to control destiny, with extremely lofty aspirations.

Since fate has led him here, the contents of the coffin must be closely related to the God of Starshine.

Perhaps this will allow us to unveil the mystery behind the God of Starshine.

The moment Ying Zheng's arm touched the coffin, the power of endless starlight suddenly burst forth.

The brilliance of stars carries a sharp edge that can tear everything apart; though dazzling, it is deadly.

The surface even depicts a divine map of stars, which presses down on Ying Zheng with immense divine power.

At the same time, two men and one woman, who had been hidden in the sky, came into view.

The men were dressed as bishops of the Starshine Church, while the women were dressed as nuns; their strong divinity indicated their status as Sequence Two angels.

The blond, hook-nosed man looked down at Ying Zheng as if he were an insect: "Under the glorious suppression of our lord, all heretics will eventually face judgment!"

"Speak! Which cult of evil gods do you come from? This power of destiny, could it be related to the order of diviners? But it's different from what we know. What order is it?" The nun pressed, her gaze sharp.

The arrogant, blue-haired middle-aged man scoffed, "What other forces could it be? It's nothing more than the Doomsday Association, the Twilight Society, and the Astrology Society—these are the major evil god cults. But to withstand the suppression of my Lord's Starlight for so long without being destroyed, it must be a demigod-level existence."

“Indeed, the trap we set this time was enough to capture a demigod-level being, which is quite a haul.” The blond man looked at Ying Zheng with barely concealed greed in his eyes.

However, Ying Zheng, shrouded in starlight, grew annoyed by the incessant chatter of these three ants.

He did not break free immediately, but took the opportunity to sense the source of the power of that Star God.

If the source of its power could be analyzed, Ying Zheng could easily find clues with a little deduction.

"How dare you, ants, question the gods? How many lives do you have to be so arrogant!"

Ying Zheng turned around leisurely, and with each step he took, his supreme power surged forth, instantly intimidating the three Starshine Cult angels.

At this moment, the three angels were filled with disbelief, for Ying Zheng's divine aura was as vast as the heavens, and he was like a god and a demon.

The terrifying aura was enough to terrify all spirits. Upon seeing this, the nun went hysterical: "Impossible! There is no true god in the world except my Lord. You are all false gods!"

Ying Zheng glanced at her indifferently, and an invisible force immediately erased the nun's existence.

As the gaze shifted to the remaining two angels, these two angels gritted their teeth, their faces contorted, their divine aura surging as if they were trying to guide a certain being, but they could not break free from the shackles of an invisible force.

The threads of fate have already woven a net, waiting for them to fall into it; they will not be allowed to escape easily.

Ying Zheng directly used the power of destiny to examine their heavily protected souls, and even the many seals that guarded the souls were modified and enhanced by Ying Zheng's power.

Then, with a disappointed expression, Ying Zheng erased the two, leaving only three orbs of divinity for his own use.

Although insignificant to Ying Zheng himself, it was quite helpful for the implementation of subsequent plans.

After all, the essence of the three angels still holds great allure for mortal beings.

With the help of Ying Zheng, he was able to integrate and master these techniques, thus creating a demigod-level being.

If the main body cannot provide assistance, use it as is for the time being.

At this moment, Ying Zheng's gaze fell on the coffin, where the star array inscription was already blurred: "A divine shroud? How interesting."

According to the memories of the three angels, they set this trap by using the Shroud of God to lure cultists with supernatural beings.

This is because many cults have been active recently, and there are even signs of demigods appearing.

The Shroud of the Gods contains the power of that god. It is said that the God of Starshine shed his old body from it, thus attaining the divine office of Starshine and ascending to the position of a true god.

It contained the secret to becoming a god, and coupled with the divine decree of the Starshine God, that compelled them to risk taking out this precious treasure to set a trap for fishing.

Unexpectedly, they lured out Qin Shi Huang, a prehistoric behemoth, and were instead completely devoured.

Now Ying Zheng was quite interested in whether there were any clues left inside this divine shroud.

As Ying Zheng opened the coffin, the star array engraved on its surface shattered, revealing a blanket inside. Divine energy surged from the blanket, revealing the outline of a human figure wrapped within it.

An invisible force gathers here, and the brilliant starlight continuously condenses.

The Star God, who reigned supreme in the Starry Continent's divine kingdom, suddenly rose from his throne, his face filled with shock and anger: "Insolence!"

However, Ying Zheng completely ignored the resentment and will of the God of Stars.

He directly unfurled the divine shroud, sensing the intertwining of two forces within it: one being the power of endless radiance.

Although only a small amount remains, its essence is extremely high, faintly revealing the essence of the Primordial Daoist realm.

Lord of Light?
But that's not necessarily true. It's also possible that the other party uses their own great path to gather light, helping these mortal ants to transform into gods and demons.

Without actually meeting them, it's difficult to determine their identity.

However, at this moment, drawing upon this glimmer of light, he immediately connected with his true form and began the deduction.
Ying Zheng himself hid in the crevices of the endless chaotic sea, where he created a small world.

Using the space-time willow leaf given by Immortal Yangmei to suppress it, it easily concealed its presence, making it difficult for even ordinary Primordial Dao Masters to detect its existence.

At the same time, he quietly sensed a ray of radiant power emanating from his clone and forcibly traced its origin along the cause-and-effect relationship.

The Great Dao of Primordial Chaos connects with the mysteries of heaven, destiny, cause and effect, and so on. By following the cause and effect and destiny of this power, one can trace back.

But the instant Ying Zheng caught sight of that figure, a colossal being from somewhere in the darkness, unleashing a wave of all-consuming darkness, swept in.

He is like the source of all darkness in the world, the master of all darkness.

"Who dares to deduce the existence of this sovereign!"

Accompanied by this low roar, a vast and wondrous phenomenon unleashed a terrifying aura, enough to shake the universe and terrify countless gods and demons.

"I'd like to see which fool dares to deduce the existence of this sovereign; they're simply courting death!" the Dark Sovereign said viciously.

Immediately, this towering figure used its own power of the Great Dao to counterattack, following the deductive forces of Heaven's will, destiny, and cause and effect. (End of Chapter)
