Zhutian: Everything starts from becoming a disciple of Uncle Jiu!

Chapter 449 Zhao Zheng: So, I became... a landowner? (Subscribe!)
"Five hundred years ago, spiritual energy."

"???"

keep going!
No, that’s it? ?

Zhao Zheng tried to ask further questions, but before he could say anything, he felt his consciousness regain clarity and he exited the state of Zhitianxing.

Looking at the thunder that was still bombarding, Zhao Zheng fell into thought. First of all, he ruled out the havoc in heaven. He didn't remember any spiritual roots in Journey to the West... Hmm? The ginseng fruit tree was a spiritual root...

"Can this thing grow inside a person's body?"

Zhao Zheng shook his head and threw away the images in his mind that reduced his sanity. It was true that the ginseng fruit tree was a spiritual root, but it was not the same spiritual root as the flying zombie. The two were not the same thing!

"But five hundred years ago... huh?"

Zhao Zheng's heart moved, and he thought of the 500-year-old Ming Dynasty, and indirectly thought of Liu Bowen who cut off the dragon vein.

"Liu Bowen...dragon vein...spiritual root..."

So, Liu Bowen not only cut off the dragon vein, but also directly or indirectly cut off the so-called spiritual root? !
"Oh... spiritual energy..."

Zhao Zheng roughly understood, or rather, thought of a possibility, that is, spiritual roots did exist in the cultivation world five hundred years ago.

However, because Liu Bowen cut the dragon vein (affecting the spiritual energy), the spiritual roots gradually became less visible. Now that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has increased, the spiritual roots have been able to reappear. Fei Jiang is just one of the lucky ones whose spiritual roots reappeared earlier.

"The last struggle... Oh, it should be said that it is a great opportunity, a great chance to become a Buddha..." In Zhao Zheng's view, the reappearance of spiritual roots is tantamount to speeding up the progress of cultivation.

In other words, it is God, or the Way of Heaven, who is giving everyone in the cultivation world an opportunity, an opportunity to become a Buddha or an ancestor.

after all,

There is no need for 'God' in the future!
"Man can conquer nature..."

Zhao Zheng muttered to himself, looked at the five energies in his body gradually improving and himself who was already able to move, and dodged away from the range of the thunder bombing.

When he appeared again, Zhao Zheng was in the air far away from the thunder. He squinted his eyes and looked at the thunder in the sky that suddenly stopped in his sight.

Several illusory gods of thunder above the thunderclouds were stunned when they saw him. Their expressions were full of astonishment, confusion, and doubt, as if asking, "How could it be you?"

"???"

Don't tell me you hit the wrong person!!

Zhao Zheng's eyelids twitched as he looked at several thunder gods who were stationed in his temple and disappeared in a flash with guilty looks on their faces.

"Because I swallowed a flying zombie and my body was stained with the aura of a flying zombie, so these thunder gods struck the wrong person?"

Zhao Zheng was muttering in his heart, wondering whether he should withdraw the people in the worship hall... He raised his eyebrows and opened the system.

I saw that the handwriting of "Wu Lei Yuan Cong Jiupin Zuo Jianguan" on the certificate of title changed slightly, and the next moment, the word "Cong" disappeared.

And the word "from" by Shao seemed to be a signal. The next moment, the entire handwriting of the talisman changed slightly and then refreshed.

Position: Right Judge of Tianshu Court, ninth rank, Right Judge of Exorcism Court, ninth rank, Selected Jinshi of Taiji Palace, ninth rank, Left Judge of Wulei Court, ninth rank, Right Prime Minister of Shangqing Records, ninth rank, Taiping Fuhua Dianzhe, Shenxiao Chuanli, ninth rank, Hunyuan Zhang...

"..."

fine,
Let’s get promoted together!!

Zhao Zheng finished his inner complaints, bowed, and said loudly: "Praise...Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Voice Universal Transformation Heavenly Venerable!"

Finally,

Added another sentence of praise to the gods!!
After the ceremony, Zhao Zheng landed on the lake surface that had turned into steel and cleaned up the traces left by the flying zombie. After making sure that there would be no water pollution, he stretched out his hand and released his fingers to turn the steel back to its original state.

Then, he looked at the skin on his hands that had become crystal clear, or rather, the skin on his entire body that had become like a cicada's wing and flashing with electric arcs under the bombardment of thunder and the smelting of molten iron. He thought in amazement.

"Tsk, if my remains were put into the world of Grave Robbers' Chronicles or Ghost Blows Out the Light, it would at least be ranked high!"

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng touched the crack between his eyebrows, activated the Star Picking Technique, grabbed and pulled at his chest, and instantly got the twenty-fourth relic.

As he got the remains, a hint of surprise appeared in Zhao Zheng's eyes. As the surprise appeared, he saw his twenty-fourth remains floating and swelling in the wind, as if inflated, and turned into the appearance of a normal person, and then gave him a weird smile.

"???"

Hell,

My human skin has become a spirit???
Pipijing?!

Zhao Zheng stretched out his hand, and in an instant, his vital energy was stirred, and his magic power flowed out of his body, transforming into a golden hand and grabbing towards the remains.

The frightened exuvia's face changed, and it turned into a streak of lightning with a sonic boom and fled into the sky. The speed was so fast... that it took Zhao Zheng an extra moment to catch his 24th exuvia, which was suspected to be a spirit.

Looking at the relic that was being grabbed by the neck and was still urging Thunder to resist and struggle, Zhao Zheng tilted his head and asked curiously: "So, what are you?"

"I am you!"

"..."

Zhao Zheng exerted a little force with an expressionless face, ignoring the miserable look of the twenty-fourth remains which was struggling and unable to speak.

Immortal version of the detection technique - open!

What a naughty girl!

With a crisp sound, Zhao Zheng looked at the twenty-fourth remains in his hand, which had lost its breath as its neck was broken. When he saw the aura gradually fading away from the remains, his eyes moved slightly, and he began to use the Earthly Evil Method to chase it away. He just wanted to see if he could understand something from this aura.
Or in other words, research something!
With the activation of the Expelling Method, the dead remains came back to life. The Twenty-Fourth looked at Zhao Zheng, who was pinching its neck again, with a puzzled look on his face.

"I... am not dead? You didn't kill me..."

The method of expelling - opening,

"I...didn't..."

"You special..."

The method of expelling - opening,

After repeating this dozens of times, Zhao Zheng crushed the Pipi spirit to death with an expressionless face. After collecting the twenty-fourth remains, he opened the system and looked through it.

Magical power: Enlightenment (residual)

Introduction: ...After your tireless research, you have successfully found a way to unlock the wisdom of all things...

Note: ... Friendly reminder, the power of this magical power depends on the weight of the caster and the castee...

"The weight and size..."

Fate? Luck...

Zhao Zheng's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the ugly red carp swimming on the lake below, and stretched out his hand to flick it lightly.

A ray of golden light suddenly appeared, causing the red carp to jump out of the water with a bang, and then it fell heavily on the shore of the lake and lay motionless.

Seeing this, Zhao Zheng walked to the shore with an expressionless face, silently raised his foot and kicked out a healing kick, accompanied by a plop sound.

Zhao Zheng saw the red carps that were originally in the lake change from backstroke to normal swimming, and human-like doubts appeared in the eyes of the two fish.

It probably means who I am, where I am, and where I am going. Zhao Zheng looked around thoughtfully.

His eyes were fixed on the green-shelled turtle lying on the shore basking in the sun. He stretched out his hand and activated his magical powers again.

Looking at the eyes of the fish and the turtle revealing who I am, where I am, and what I am going to do, Zhao Zheng said with a serious expression.

"From today on, you are called Bubble and it is called Two-Faced Turtle. Do you understand? If you understand, nod your head."

Seeing the fish and the turtle nodding in confusion, Zhao Zheng withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and looked towards the lake. After a short while, he also enlightened a small green snake and a catfish.

There was also a lobster and a minnow that looked like a jellyfish. After doing all this, he looked towards the sea.

A bit far!!
Zhao Zheng frowned as he thought about it, then raised his brows and used the fake shape technique to transform a grass carp in the lake into a seahorse. He named it Aku and smiled with satisfaction.

"Perfect!"

Zhao Zheng nodded in satisfaction. The only pity was that the water creatures such as Bubble that were enlightened were not very intelligent.

It is similar to a newborn baby, but fortunately he discovered that wisdom can grow. So it seems that this incomplete magical enlightenment is not bad!
"You can order the living ones, but what about the dead ones?"

Zhao Zheng, standing on the shore of the lake, looked at the stone on the ground, stretched out his hand and pointed at the air, and a ray of golden light suddenly appeared.

And then... it was gone!!

Yes, gone!
“It seems no different!”

Zhao Zheng picked up a fist-sized stone from mid-air, examined it, wrote the words "Shiji" with his fingernails, and threw it towards a cave in the distance.

After doing all this, Zhao Zheng looked at Bubble and other water creatures in the lake, thought for a while, and took out some dragon scales that he accidentally got from the dragon girl during the Green Snake copy from his back. He took out a piece and threw it into the depths of the lake, then said to Bubble and other water creatures who were enlightened, "Go find my treasure", and turned away with a satisfied smile.

As for the legendary adventures of the little carp that might happen in this lake in the future, he would wait until he had time to come and see them.

He first went to the city to buy some paper money and asked the paper shop owners to burn it for the soldiers of the Five Battalions. Then he flew to the Jiang family.

After a while,
The Jiang family has arrived.

Zhao Zheng came to the inner courtyard and heard good news from Taoist Simu. The good news was that Tang Long, the villain in the original novel, was dead at the hands of Master Jiang.

There was good news, but naturally there was also bad news. In order to protect the eldest master Jiang Ming, the housekeeper Ajiu was beheaded by Tang Long, and Master Jiang also had a piece of hair chopped off. Zhao Zheng curled his lips when he heard it. To be honest, he seriously suspected that this was a plot arranged by a few hundred yuan himself.

However, the main culprit has been punished, so it is not appropriate for him to say anything or care about anything. Besides, he doesn't think about this matter.

"How about that zombie?"

"A Zheng, you are not hurt, right?"

Taoist Priest Hua and Taoist Priest Simu spoke one after another. Zhao Zheng glanced at Zhang Yi and others who were maintaining order and said.

"The zombies are dead, but I'm not hurt!"

"Dead!" ×2+4+1
Taoist Priest Hua and the others stared with their eyes wide open. Taoist Priest Simu was also shocked. That was a flying zombie. How could it die just like that? !
Isn't this too magical? !
"I moved it to the lake..."

Zhao Zheng pointed in the direction of the lake. Taoist Hua was thinking about the terrifying thunder that had appeared in the direction of the lake before, and interrupted him with a look of enlightenment in his eyes.

"I see. I didn't expect that even God would take it away. Well, well, I'm glad you're okay!"

Taoist Priest Hua seemed to understand everything. Wind, rain, thunder and lightning were all very happy. The Xiangxi Corpse Driving King also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhao Zheng didn't want to explain. Only Taoist Simu looked at Zhao Zheng and felt that the flying zombie was most likely killed by Zhao Zheng.

After chatting with Master Hua and his five disciples for a while, Zhao Zheng looked around and curled his lips after watching them find a guest room to rest.

"Don't look at it. It's better if they don't come. If they come, they won't punish you for taking advantage of the power of others and stealing the troops of the Three Mountains Alliance..."

Taoist Simu said unhappily. He naturally knew what Zhao Zheng was looking at. It was nothing more than to see if the owners of the five battalions of troops were coming.

Or,

See if there are any like-minded people coming over!
"I understand, but they... um? I am not alone!" Looking around, Zhao Zheng suddenly sighed and continued.

"Uncle Master, I'm going to retreat!"

"……it is good."

Taoist Simu looked around curiously and nodded. The corpse-driving king from Xiangxi rubbed his hands and looked at Zhao Zheng.

"Go back. By the way, this is for you..."

Zhao Zheng pointed to Fukang County and took out a silver note and handed it to the Xiangxi Corpse Driving King. The amount was not large, only one hundred dollars.

Looking at the instantly dumbfounded Xiangxi Corpse Driving King, and the Xiangxi Corpse Driving King's daughter who was peeking at him curiously from behind, Zhao Zheng smiled and said, "I can't let you make this trip in vain."

"Thank you, Master Zheng!"

The Xiangxi Corpse Driving King bowed his head respectfully, and Zhao Zheng stuffed the banknote into his hand: "You're welcome, this is what you deserve!"

The Xiangxi Corpse Driving King quickly shook his head. Apart from the inexplicable loss of eight zombies, he did nothing. He didn't even touch the clothes of the flying zombie. To say that he deserved it was just a shame... cough cough,
He dared not refuse Master Zheng's kindness! !

Seeing the Xiangxi Corpse-Driving King thanking him and then hurriedly heading into the city with his daughter, Zhao Zheng turned and left.

However, just as he started, he was stopped by Taoist Simu, who pulled him away from the crowd and asked in a low voice.

"A Zheng, did you kill that flying zombie?"

"you guess?"

Magical power of earth movement - open!

Zhao Zheng disappeared into the ground in a flash, which made Taoist Simu's eyes widen like bells. He did not forget what Taoist Hua said about this zombie being able to burrow into the ground.

Therefore,
He can really kill flying zombies!!
Taoist Simu was horrified, even though he had previously thought that the flying zombie was most likely killed by Zhao Zheng.

But he also said that it was nine out of ten, and he still didn't believe it. Now that he heard Zhao Zheng admit it himself, how could he not be shocked? You know, this is a flying zombie! !
The 'End' of the Zombie Road!!

An end he had only heard of!
Taoist Simu was just wondering how strong Zhao Zheng was now when he heard several voices suddenly coming from the sky.

"Eh, such a strong corpse aura? Could it be that there are really flying zombies here?"

"Stop joking. How could there be a flying zombie? In my opinion, it's just a zombie king, just like the zombie king outside the pass..."

"Where is the candidate for the title master's third disciple? Come out!"

"Where is Lin Jiu's apprentice?"

"Hey, Brother Simu!"

The cultivators flying in the sky started to speak one after another. Looking at some fellow cultivators flying in the sky, Taoist Simu understood what Zhao Zheng meant by "I am not alone in my path". At the same time, he also understood why Zhao Zheng was in such a hurry to go into seclusion.

"This kid..."

Taoist Simu cursed inwardly, then smiled and nodded to two of the seven Taoists who were also Maoshan disciples. He then saluted to the five strangers and said, "My fellow Taoists, I am Simu, the 69th generation disciple of Maoshan..."

"Okay, let Lin Jiu's third disciple come out..."

A Taoist priest in a white robe was speaking with a serious expression. After his ears moved slightly, a smile appeared on his face and he clasped his fists.

"Excuse me, my disrespect..."

The other four people looked confused, but after hearing what their own five battalions of soldiers said, they all smiled.

"Excuse me, my disrespect..."

"Forehead……"

This attitude...has it changed too quickly?!

Taoist Simu felt puzzled, and the other two Maoshan Taoists who were ready to take action at any time felt even more puzzled.

They were wondering how the attitudes of these fellow Taoists could change so quickly. Only the soldiers of the 53rd Team and the 5th Battalion in Fukang County who were distributing paper money were staring in amazement at the flames rising from more than a dozen paper-making shops in the city, secretly thinking that this Taoist master was truly magnanimous.

"What a great Master Zhao!"

"No, I should say, what a great boss Zhao is!"

"Haha, that's right, what a great boss Zhao is..."

The soldiers from the Five Battalions who were receiving paper money and paper buildings saw that the money around them was increasing, and they couldn't stop smiling and praised it.

The person being praised was Zhao Zheng, who was currently sitting cross-legged in a cave on the mountain behind the Jiang family mansion.

After making sure that those righteous people who were still considered righteous had not done anything unrighteous to Taoist Simu, Zhao Zheng began to study the magical power of earth movement that he obtained after devouring the flying zombie.

"Earth escape is only the most basic ability of the Earth Element. Unfortunately, I don't have the Earth Element Skill, otherwise it would be better to compare it..."

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng stretched out his big hands and opened them. The soil on the ground jumped into his palms as if it was grabbed by an invisible big hand.

Then it began to change shape, turning into swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, etc., and then fell to the ground as he withdrew his hands.

However, everything in the cave began to change as Zhao Zheng thought, of course, only limited to earth-related things.

But after a while, the cave was expanded into a huge cave, containing all kinds of earthen furniture.

"In theory, since the Earth Element can control the law of earth between heaven and earth, then can I research the Metal Element and the Wood Element... hm?" Zhao Zheng stopped thinking with a light exclamation, silently recited the system, and flipped through it.

Five Qis Returning to the Origin (2/5)

———↓———

Five Qis Returning to the Origin (3/5)

"Very good, only two are left to gather the five energies into three!"

Feeling the various subtle yet huge changes that had occurred in his body, his primordial spirit, and even his true soul after the five qi had condensed into one qi of the Earth Emperor, Zhao Zheng once again flipped through the system with emotion.

Finally, his gaze fixed on the second characteristic of the 36,000 body and soul state, which was originally just lit up but not activated.

Or,

Just opened the second feature above.

Feature 2: God of Fortune

Introduction: ...to protect the Lord of the Society...

Even if you don't tell me, I know that the land god is the guardian of the community. I also know that the next sentence is called Shang Gong. Zhao Zheng threw out the popular chapter of Zuo Zhuan that came to his mind.

"Is it because of the five energies that the second characteristic is activated? Or is it originally... Never mind, this is not important!"

Zhao Zheng stopped thinking, and his consciousness immediately wanted to go to the Yunzhai that he had opened up after practicing the Shangqing Huangting Secret Sutra.

But before his consciousness reached Yun's house, he found that his eyes went dark, and then he appeared in a shabby and old temple, which was not abandoned, but was almost the same.

Zhao Zheng looked at himself in confusion as he sat on the temple altar, wondering about the statue. Then he looked inside the temple and found some familiar furnishings. Suddenly, a star flew out from his head and headed for the temple gate.

As his sight changed, Zhao Zheng controlled his Sky Eye to look back. What he saw was a small temple no higher than his knees in the weeds on the side of the road. There was nothing written on the temple.
Just three words were written - Land God Temple!

"So... I'm a landowner?"
