Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 824 Chen Yun Becomes the Emperor
Qingcheng Mountain, Damian Peak.

After Chen Yun achieved Half-Step Daluo, he was immediately sensed by many rulers of heaven and earth, who sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts.

Although he accepted all the gifts, he did not hold a grand banquet to celebrate as if he had entered the fairyland. Instead, he continued to live an ordinary life as before. Apart from spending time with Wang Siyan and teaching his disciples how to practice, the rest of his time was spent comprehending the great Dao.

As he entered the Half-Step Daluo stage, his understanding of inner and outer alchemy had reached perfection and pinnacle, and his disciples benefited greatly from it.

For example, Lord Horse, Nine-Headed Bull Demon King and Golden-Eyed Ghost have realized how to break through to the Heavenly Immortal Realm and have already gone into seclusion.

I believe that after they come out of seclusion, they will be able to achieve the status of a celestial being.

In addition to these top fighters, the middle-level fighters in the mountain, such as Niu Dali, Jiao Taoist and Ba Taoist, have also seen a significant improvement in their realm because of Chen Yun's pill refining and explanation of their doubts about cultivation.

For example, Niu Dali successfully broke through from the human fairyland to the earth fairyland.

Taoist Jiao and Taoist Ba are also approaching the Earthly Immortal Realm and will probably be able to break through in the next two years.

The remaining Zhang Qian, Lin Chen and others seemed to be not far from achieving immortality.

The same is true for the rest of the disciples.

In addition, the cultivation of two people increased so rapidly that Chen Yun was a little surprised.

The first one is his "cheap son" monkey Chen Lizhi.

Although he has not been exposed to formal inner alchemy, he has already reached the level of a high-level wizard and is only one step away from becoming a leader.

Although this monkey was formed from the essence, blood and spiritual energy of the person before he attained enlightenment and became an immortal, and it itself has a very high "talent", but the fact that it has been able to cultivate to such a high level in just a few years is enough to show its superior natural talent.

The other is Lin Lingsu.

It had been less than two years since he started practicing, but he had already reached the level of a high-level wizard.

To be honest, his cultivation speed is even more abnormal than when Chen Yun took the "Daluo Ling Tang".

Chen Yun finally understood why Lin Lingsu was able to become the Grand Master of Shenxiao. To be honest, his talent in cultivation was really terrifying.

This day is close to the winter solstice.

Chen Yun had just finished instructing Mei Junyan on her cultivation when Qingfeng Mingyue came to report that Lu Dongbin was here to visit.

He straightened his clothes and walked slowly towards the living room.

After a while, we arrived at the living room.

Chen Yun stepped over the threshold and said with a smile, "Brother, long time no see. How have you been lately?"

Lü Dongbin stood up quickly, took the initiative to bow and said, "Thank you for your concern, brother. I am very grateful to you."

Chen Yun laughed dumbly and said, "Why has Senior Brother become so reserved?"

Lü Dongbin lost his usual playful and carefree attitude and said seriously, "Junior brother has now achieved the Half-Step Daluo state and is one of the rulers of heaven and earth. Although I am your senior brother, I must also remain in awe of you."

Chen Yun said: "This is wrong. I am still me, not the ruler of the world."

As he spoke, he invited Lu Dongbin to sit down, and he himself sat in the main seat.

Lü Dongbin said with envy: "Achieving the Half-Step Daluo is equivalent to controlling the trajectory of a certain avenue. All the laws of this avenue are at your disposal. If you are not the master of heaven and earth, then what else can you do?"

Chen Yun smiled and shook his head, saying: "Although all the methods of the Golden Elixir Dao are for my use, the Heavenly Court does not recognize me as one of the rulers of heaven and earth."

Lu Dongbin said seriously, "This is only a temporary problem. It won't be long before Laojun's decree of deification will come, and you will be canonized as the title of Heavenly Venerable, Great Emperor, or Dao Lord, and thus obtain the corresponding godhood. You are half-step Daluo, and you don't need to fight for the merits of the Deification War like us. You can be directly deified, and the top kind of god."

Oh?
Is there still such a saying?
Chen Yun really didn't know this before, but he believed that Lu Dongbin, as the inner minister of Yuqing, would not talk nonsense about such things, so it might be true that he would be conferred the title of Heavenly Venerable, Great Emperor or Taoist Lord next.

In fact, it is normal to think about it. He has achieved the Half-Step Daluo and mastered all the methods of the Golden Elixir Avenue. It is equivalent to being the highest level existence on this avenue. It would be strange if he is not granted a transcendent godhood.

This made him curious.

What kind of priesthood will he be canonized into?
Chen Yun couldn’t figure it out for the time being, but he knew that his status would not be low.

He did not think too much about it, but asked: "Brother, why did you come to my Damian Peak today? Is there something important?"

Lü Dongbin smiled and said, "In a few days it will be Yuanshi Tianzun's birthday. Tianzun has shown mercy and is preparing to give a lecture on 'Hunyuan Daoguo' before his birthday. I was thinking of recommending you to attend the lecture, but Tianzun learned that you had achieved Half-Step Daluo and took the initiative to ask me to come and invite you."

Huh?
Is there such a good thing after breaking through to the Half-Step Daluo?

Chen Yun had been coveting the "Hunyuan Dao Fruit" for a long time, and now that he heard that he had the opportunity to attend the lecture, he was of course happy.

He hurriedly asked, "When will Tianzun start to talk about 'Huanyuan Daoguo'?"

Lü Dongbin said: "Tomorrow."

Chen Yun asked again, "Do I need to prepare anything? Like a gift."

Lü Dongbin laughed loudly and said, "All the heavens and worlds were created by Yuanshi Tianzun, the incarnation of Pangu. What gift can you give to Tianzun to please him?"

Chen Yun thought the same and laughed as well, "Okay, then I will go to Yujing Mountain with you tomorrow?"

Lü Dongbin nodded and said, "Good."

The two sat and chatted for a while.

Afterwards, Lu Dongbin stood up and said goodbye.

Chen Yun sent the other party to the outside of the mountain gate, and then slowly walked back inside.

When Chen Yun thought about going to Yujing Mountain tomorrow to listen to Yuanshi Tianzun explain the "Hunyuan Daoguo", he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Since breaking through to the Half-Step Daluo realm, although his own strength has greatly increased, there is also a fatal problem, that is, all previous training methods are no longer applicable to him, and it seems to be very difficult to significantly improve his strength again.

Therefore, he wanted to see if he could get some inspiration from the "Hunyuan Daoguo" to solve this problem.

If he really cannot solve the problem, he can only use the supreme method of the Three Turns and Twelve Phases taught by Sakyamuni Buddha to overcome the tribulation.

Well, overcoming the tribulation is a certainty.

If you can solve this problem before going through the tribulation, perhaps you will gain more when you go through the tribulation.

Chen Yun didn’t know what the “Hunyuan Dao Fruit” was for the time being, nor did he know if he could find a way to solve the problem of improving his strength from it. However, he knew that a method that could be explained personally by Yuanshi Tianzun must be what the world dreams of, and it might even be a real “Dao Fruit”.

It’s okay if you don’t know now. You can find out when you go and listen to the lecture tomorrow, right?
Thinking about it, Chen Yun couldn't help but think back to the "Daluo Ling Tang".

He thought to himself, "If I can collect all the spiritual roots of heaven and earth needed for the Great Luo Spiritual Soup, I can immediately achieve the Great Luo Dao Fruit after taking a pot of the spiritual soup. Why would I need to go through so much trouble?"

It’s a pity that the spiritual roots of heaven and earth needed for the Daluo Ling Soup are too precious.

Although he had it in the secret realm he had visited with Erlang Shen, Changmei Daxian and others before, he didn't know yet whether he could defeat the Half-Step Daluo Realm Chaos Demon God who was guarding the mountain.

Chen Yun would not go there to try until he was absolutely sure of defeating the Chaos Demon God.

This is not to say that he is afraid of death. After all, he has integrated into the trajectory of the Golden Elixir Avenue and is almost immortal in the true sense. No matter how powerful the Chaos Demon God is, he can't break the trajectory of the Avenue and he will not die.

The reason why he didn't go there for the time being was because he knew that even if he defeated the Chaos Demon God, he might not be able to obtain all the treasures on the sacred mountain.

This can be discerned from the Chaos Demon God guarding the sacred mountain, as well as the information brought back by Changshengtian, Changmei Daxian and others.

If that Chaos Demon God could withstand the test of the Great Dao, he would naturally be able to achieve Daluo and there would be no need to guard the sacred mountain.

If your own strength is not as good as or equal to that of the Chaos Demon God, there is a high probability that you will not be able to withstand the test of the Great Dao, so there is no point in going.

Only if he is more advanced than the Chaos Demon God, can he hope to withstand the test and choose to merge with the Tao, or enter the sacred mountain to obtain the spiritual roots of heaven and earth required for the Daluo Spirit Soup. "From the strength shown by the Chaos Demon God last time, he should be stronger than Lei Zu."

Chen Yun recalled carefully, "Although I have entered the Half-Step Daluo realm, my cultivation level is definitely not as good as Lei Zu's. The other party has been in the Half-Step Daluo realm for who knows how long. How can I, who has just entered this realm, have a higher cultivation level than him?"

Of course, just because your cultivation level is not as high as yours doesn’t mean you can’t win.

Chen Yun possesses three Taoist bodies. Although after entering the Half-Step Daluo realm, the Thunder and Fire Taoist Body and the Golden Demon God Taoist Body are no longer of much help to him, Pangu's true body can still greatly enhance his combat effectiveness.

He believed that as long as Pangu's true form was revealed, it might be possible to defeat Leizu and Mori Putian.

These are all speculations at the moment. No one knows whether they can win the fight or not because they have never fought each other.

When thinking of Pangu's true body, Chen Yun immediately thought of the "Pangu True Body Secret". "With my current realm, I should be able to cultivate to the eighth level. Once I succeed in cultivating, I will be able to manifest the eighth transformation of Pangu's true body, and my combat power will definitely usher in a surge."

He planned to wait until tomorrow to finish listening to the lecture on "Hunyuan Daoguo" and then calm down to study "Pangu's True Body Secret" carefully.

Once the eighth level of "Pangu's True Body Secret" is mastered, one can then use the supreme method taught by Sakyamuni Buddha to overcome the disaster.

……

Most of the day passed quietly.

Around dusk, Chen Yun was admiring the flowers in the inner courtyard garden.

Suddenly, the breeze and the bright moon came to report that the angel Yan was about to come and convey his order, asking him to prepare the incense table and offerings.

As soon as Chen Yun heard this, he knew that Taishang Laojun had sent an envoy to deify him.

He immediately had people set up the incense table and offerings.

He himself took a bath and changed his clothes.

About half an hour later, an angel arrived at Qingcheng Mountain.

In front of the incense table, bursts of rosy rays of light were radiating, and auspicious clouds covered the entire Damei Peak.

A young man with the appearance of an immortal and dressed in court robes was holding a decree and reading out the order.

This young man looks like an immortal but is in the form of a magpie. He is the messenger of the heavenly court and is called "Magpie God".

There are some heavenly soldiers around the Magpie God to protect him.

After all, the main responsibility of the "Magpie God" is to convey imperial orders, and he does not have much combat power.

If you are attacked by monsters or demons, something bad might happen.

Therefore, it needs heavenly soldiers to guard it.

Well, it was the Magpie God who came to deliver the order last time, and Chen Yun knew the other party’s identity.

At this time, Chen Yun and all his disciples came out, stood there, and listened respectfully to Laojun's instructions.

The Magpie God announced, "By order of the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Morality, Chen Yun, whose Dharma name is Chen Pu and whose courtesy name is Chongyong, is hereby canonized as the Great Emperor Shengfuming and the Taoist Lord of the Nine Netherworlds for his great merit in suppressing the evil spirit of the Nine Netherworlds. He is in charge of all the Yin gods in the human world and will temporarily take over some of the duties of the Great Emperor Fengdu and supervise the Nine Netherworlds."

The content of this decree is very vague, and it does not specify how many gods and divine soldiers one should be assigned.

Chen Yun was confused by what he heard, but he still accepted the decree respectfully.

Although the content about the gods and divine weapons is very vague, the canonization of his own divine position is already very advanced, and he was directly named "Emperor".

The position of "Great Emperor" is very transcendent in the Taoist mythology system.

For example, the Six Imperial Lords are all great emperors, as are the Five Great Emperors of the Mountains, and so on.

It can be said that Chen Yun's "clerical status" suddenly rose to the top of the universe.

As for the "part-time job" of Jiuyou Baku Daojun, Chen Yun felt very confused.

He remembered that the King of Fengdu had a title called Jiuyou Purifying Heavenly Lord. Now, Taishang Laojun conferred a similar divine title on himself, but did not give him the title of Heavenly Lord, but only gave him the title of Taoist Lord. What does this mean?

In fact, Chen Yun was not only confused about this title, but also about the title of Chengtian Jianguo Simin Shengfuming Emperor.

If I remember correctly, the title of the Chief City God later should be "Chengtian Jianguo Simin Shengfu Mingling Wang", which was different from his own title with only the last two characters, one is "Ling Wang" and the other is "The Great Emperor".

Today, the City God has not yet been included in the formal sacrificial system.

Chen Yun wondered if Taishang Laojun named himself "Chengtian Jianguo Simin Shengfuming Emperor" in order to pave the way for the appearance of City Gods in the future and make himself the boss of City Gods?

If so, it seems a bit unreasonable.

After all, the City God department belongs to the "office" of the underworld in the human world. Even the rank of the Chief City God is not very high, but Taishang Laojun named himself "The Great Emperor", which obviously surpassed the rank of City God.

First there was a very vague "Great Emperor", and then there was a very vague "Tao Lord".

Chen Yun really didn't know why Taishang Laojun conferred such an honor. It was really strange.

"Could it be that Laojun is training my 'business ability' in preparation for conferring the title of 'Emperor of Fengdu' on me in the future?"

When he thought of this, Chen Yun really felt that it was very possible.

Why do you say that?

Because the City God was originally under the jurisdiction of the Fengdu Underworld, and the Nine Netherworlds were also suppressed by the Fengdu Emperor.

If the two are combined, wouldn't it all be the responsibility of the King of Fengdu?
Then why didn't Laojun directly confer the title of King of Fengdu on himself?
You know, the position of King of Fengdu is vacant now. No one will gossip if you directly confer the title, after all, he is already half a step away from becoming a Daluo.

Chen Yun thought that it might be because he had never been involved in the management of the underworld, so Laojun used this method to make him familiar with the "business" first. When he was familiar with it, he would confer the title of Fengdu Emperor, also known as Jiuyou Baiku Tianzun.

In this way, it makes sense to confer titles on himself as "Emperor Chengtian Jianguo Simin Shengfu Ming" and "Jiuyou Baku Daojun".

Will I become the King of Fengdu in the future and manage the vast underworld?
Chen Yun vaguely knew why Qingjia wanted to "commit suicide", it turned out that he was doing so to make room for himself.

But a new problem arises. Qingjia is the King of Fengdu, so it makes no sense for him to do this.

After all, if one reincarnates and cultivates again, one may not be able to cultivate to the Half-Step Daluo level again.

For example, Lu Dongbin was the King of the East in his previous life. Now he has only cultivated to the peak of the celestial realm and has not yet achieved the half-step Daluo.

If that’s the case, why must Qingjia give up his position to me?

There are many problems here that are hard to figure out, and Chen Yun knows it is useless to think further.

Unless Laojun or Qingjia tells me the reason personally, I can't figure out why no matter how hard I try.

Forget it, I don't want to.

Anyway, just know that you have the hope of becoming the King of Fengdu in the future.

All in all, this is definitely a great joy for me.

Chen Yun was very satisfied with this and decided to perform his duties well.

In order to avoid mishandling the "business" and losing the priesthood that one should have obtained.

There is not much "business" at the moment, just managing the Yin gods in the human world and suppressing the Nine Netherworlds.

Chen Yun was very confident that he could do it well. After listening to "Hunyuan Daoguo", he decided to come back and form a team to establish the Yinsi Yamen to manage the Yin gods.
