Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Chapter 690 God's Flaws
"You must know that the three of you are all avatars of the main body, a trinity, and none of you can do without the others. Whether it is the seventh brother's struggle against the consciousness of the Heavenly Realm or the eighth brother's resistance to the corruption of the will of the Yellow Springs, the sixth brother will be needed to anchor you in the mortal realm. The stability of the sixth brother in the mortal realm is the balance point for you to fight against the will of the two great realms. You must have a long-term plan and not just care about immediate gains and losses."

The three of them wholeheartedly agreed.

The three are three parts of one god, replicas of the Primordial God of Xuanhuang, and three parts supported by the will of Xuanhuang.

They were born as one, bound by powerful bonds and causality.

The Lord of All Beings is a stable anchor. Only when this anchor is stable can there be stability, whether it is the True Self Lord refining the Yellow Springs or the Lord of Heaven and Earth invading the Heavenly Realm.

They are not afraid of being assimilated, or even of being transformed by the Tao.

To completely assimilate the true self, it is necessary to assimilate all three; assimilation of one alone is insufficient.

Under the balance of the Trinity, even if the true self is assimilated or even transformed into the Dao by the consciousness of the Yellow Springs, it will be quickly reborn or revived.

In other words, to kill one of them, you must kill all three of them; otherwise, you cannot kill them.

"Do you understand? Take a long-term view!" After saying that, Xuanhuang disappeared again.

They come and go like the wind, appearing and disappearing without a trace.

"It has to be the real me!" said the Lord of All Beings.

This time, the person in question really put in a lot of effort, emphasizing their own importance. Everyone already knew that, but not saying it is as good as not saying it at all.

It needs someone with a higher status to speak.

Otherwise, if you are important, then I am not important; you won't live well without me.

Only Xuanhuang could say this based on his status and strength.

"Brother, I've figured it out. The Yellow Springs is my Yellow Springs, and it's also the Yellow Springs of my two elder brothers. The three of us brothers each control one realm, but the three realms are one, and that's good enough," said the True Self Lord.

"Same as above!" the Lord of Heaven and Earth agreed.

"Hehe, that's for the best. The mortal realm will also belong to you two brothers. Follow my guidance and the three of us will unify the three realms," the Lord of All Beings laughed.

"Big brother, should we release the news?"

When brothers are of one mind, their strength can break metal; once internal problems are solved, external problems must be considered.

"Yes, we must. Only when everyone knows about it will the competition be fierce. Let them compete. Only in this way can we achieve the purpose of the Venerable One in letting us take control of everything and get the cultivation world moving."

"Okay, I'll notify them right away!"

The three then announced their plan to confer godhood in seven days.

"what?"

Bi Xia from the Suppression Department was surprised when she received the news.

Unexpectedly, the plan initiated by the Martial Arts Alliance and the Martial Temple has developed to this extent.

"Minister, should we try to persuade them?" Long Yue asked.

"Is that even a question? We must strive for it. Punishing and enforcing the law is our responsibility. How can we not strive for it?" Zhao Zheng said.

“We must strive for this. Do you see this? Once we are granted a divine position, we will be personally controlled and managed by the three supreme gods. This means that our superiors in the future will no longer be just the Lord of All Beings, but the three big bosses.” Bi Xia read carefully.

This is a significant change.

Previously, Sun Hui and Jiang Shang divided the three supreme gods into those in charge of punishment and law enforcement, those in charge of mountains and rivers, and those in charge of the underworld and city gods.

Everything has changed here; there's no longer a separate mention of the lineage managed by the Supreme God.

Instead, all the divine positions are managed by three supreme gods, meaning that all three are the ultimate rulers.

Originally, the plan was to sow discord among the three brothers, but under Xuanhuang's guidance, the three brothers saw through it all and realized that they were all just our subordinates and should not try to separate us.

"In other words, once we are unified, we can not only enforce the law in the human world, but also in the underworld and the heavenly realm. How can we not strive for this?" Han Wu said.

"Yes, that's the idea. You see, there are distinctions between celestial gods, spirit gods of the underworld, and true gods of the human realm. Once someone transcends two realms, they are called a righteous god, and once they become a trinity, they are called the Primordial God of Heaven and Earth. This is the future."

The three supreme gods changed the description of Xuanhuang as belonging to the gods, etc., because they felt it sounded bad and too petty.

Why not just come up with a more impressive name based on your own ideas?

They even brought out the Yellow Springs and the Heavenly Realm.

Since the three of us are of one mind, there's no need to hide anything. What the Venerable One said is true, but that was advice. Now that there's no conflict, we can be open about it.

When cultivators talk about wanting the Trinity, they say: That's the future, and we need everyone to work together to achieve it across the Three Realms. They don't believe the cultivators won't work hard to realize this dream.

Hall of Merit!
"Palace Master, you must step in and fight for us!" Xia Qing said anxiously.

Although it has long covered the entire cultivation world, how could one not be tempted by the two additional worlds? That would be a lie.

"Go and tell the three officials that all the suitable divine positions in our Hall of Merit must be ours, and this applies to any changes or additions in the future... Just say that, and I won't show myself."

Sun Tong waved her hand, indicating that she shouldn't disturb her cultivation.

She's already at level three and has accumulated 50,000 insights. Isn't that terrifying?

The Heaven and Earth Burial Coffin began to erupt, and all sorts of sudden insights and realizations fell like rain, as if being fed, at an incredibly rapid pace.

Take the Heaven and Earth Burial Coffin for example. It was originally only at the level of a fourth-order magic weapon, and it was difficult to achieve the fourth-order performance due to the Heaven and Earth Sealing.

But that day, a burst of purple light descended from the sky, and then the Heaven and Earth Burial Coffin inexplicably became vast, its specific levels unknown.

More importantly, it was completely refined, or rather, reshaped, becoming Sun Tong's innate treasure, along with an extremely powerful auxiliary magic weapon.

Sun Tong didn't want to ask why this was the case; in any case, it was inseparable from the efforts of a certain person.

I don't ask or care, I just focus on cultivating.

"Huh? This!" Xia Qing hesitated for a moment.

I know the temple master is special, but is it really possible?
"Don't ask too many questions, don't overthink it, just do as I say, and come back after you've finished. Our Merit Hall doesn't participate in the struggles between various forces, so as not to be accused of favoring anyone. Remember that?" Sun Tong's words directly entered Xia Qing's soul.

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand." Xia Qing snapped to attention.

The Palace Master is becoming increasingly unfathomable. He has learned the Dao Master's Resonance Method and advanced to the late stage of the second tier, which is already quite incredible.

What level has the Palace Master reached? Why does it feel like I can't see or touch him?
Listening Tower!
"The God of Fate can deduce and calculate; I wonder if the God of Heavenly Secrets and Geography exists. If so, it must be us." - Bai Xiaosheng.

"Who else but me possesses the ability to see a thousand miles and hear the wind?" This is the mark of a wise and insightful person.

University Alliance!

"Who but us is qualified to be the god who governs education and enlightenment?"

Source Formation Sect!
"The God of Formations will surely be ours!"

Spirit Beast Sect!
"The title of God of Spirit Beast Taming belongs to us alone; no one can take it away from us!" Warrior Alliance!

"We don't ask for much, we must have the brave and righteous god of war!"

Small World Alliance!
"We...no matter what suits us, we can't do without each other, we must strive for it."

Weapon Forging Alliance!

"Haha, we can forgo the divine position that belongs to humans, but we must confer a divine position upon our Qiankun Furnace. Humans can become gods, so why can't our magical artifact, the Qiankun Cauldron?"

This is even more perverted and unconventional.

Humans can forgo their divine status, but the Qiankun Furnace and the Six Ding Divine Fire of their headquarters should be granted divine status. In this way, it is not impossible for them to give birth to intelligence.

Baicao Pavilion!
"Our Hundred Herbs Pavilion has a century-old foundation and three second-tier spiritual roots, which are our greatest treasure and our most important reliance. Humans can become gods, so why can't these three spiritual roots be enshrined as heavenly spiritual roots?"

Wang Zihao said in a rare domineering tone.

Once you open your mind, it's not impossible to be in a transcendent world.

The Qiankun Cauldron and the Six Ding Divine Fire of the Weapon Refining Alliance are the strongest treasures they have refined over the past century.

All high-level magical artifacts require the Qiankun Furnace and the Six Ding Divine Fire for refinement. Their greatest hope is to confer these two supreme treasures with growth potential, or even innate potential.

Just like Prince Hao of Baicao Pavilion thought, there are three spiritual roots: a Yuanling Tree, a Wanshou Peach Tree, and a Golden Jujube Tree.

They all have second-tier spiritual roots; they are the greatest treasures of the Hundred Herbs Pavilion.

Once these three spiritual roots become innate spiritual roots, possessing their own merits and fortune, and having their own growth potential, their potential will be limitless.

After all, the role model is right in front of us. The Dao Lord's spiritual root and treasures are all like this. They can evolve on their own and grow on their own, without any limits.

Of course, we shouldn't think too much about the limits; that's just wishful thinking.

On the ghost ship!

All the supreme deities gathered together, along with the subordinate cultivators, including the Sweeping Monk, Liu Wenhe, and Xiaocao.

Those who are capable of making decisions and have brains have all come.

Regarding the treasures, apart from the Ghost Ship, the other brothers and sisters are just there to make up the numbers; don't expect them to offer any advice.

"The Four Superpowers are indeed the Four Superpowers. Even on the verge of collapse, they still caused such a huge commotion. And once they gain a significant advantage in this plan, even if they split us subordinate cultivators in the future, it will be difficult for us to resist. Sigh!"

The ghost ship sighed; it was too difficult.

I didn't expect it to be this difficult. The development was already bumpy, and I thought things would get better once we got started, but it turns out that even after we got started, there are still many difficulties.

They were all forced to temporarily retreat due to the four super-powerful beings' madness, and went to explore various realms.

Unexpectedly, they were pulled back again. Not participating was not an option; without participation, there would be no divine position. Although losing the divine position wouldn't matter much to them, having one was better than having none.

Strictly speaking, they did not crave the so-called divine position.

Why are they called God Lords? Because they are a type of god. Moreover, the development of subordinate cultivators is only suitable for one unique god, one supreme god, and it is not suitable to add more systems to it.

Once a subordinate cultivator is deified, it is extremely important whether they obey them or the three supreme gods.

The fact that the power structure is in disarray means that there is absolutely no power; Ghost Ship knows this.

"Ghost God, what do you mean?" Liu Wenhe asked cautiously.

"My meaning is very clear: we cannot not participate, but we cannot participate too much, as it would affect our purity," Ghost Ship said.

"Furthermore, the so-called gods are not very useful. They are more useful to those who lack talent, but they have no attraction to some geniuses. If you don't believe me, look at the four super powers, including the eight major powers and some other large forces. Their leaders, sect leaders, and even vice sect leaders are not interested in gods. Cultivation has always been very singular."

This is the judgment of the ghost ship.

It seems like cultivating with immortals is a great thing, but true geniuses might not even be interested in it.

I won't let my system become too complicated, because complexity means confusion, and a complicated path to enlightenment is not good.

"Yes!" Liu Wenhe, the Sweeper Monk, also thought so.

Don't think that the more systems you have, the better; that's not the case.

"If that's the case, we should just try to get the position of the Guardian God and protect the realms created by the various gods. We won't get involved in anything else," the Sweeper Monk suggested.

"The Guardian God?" The ghost ship was taken aback, then said, "That's right, it would be best if we had that position. If we get it, we'll strive for it; if not, we won't participate. As for being afraid of suppression, hehe..."

The ghost ship laughed, "Becoming a god doesn't mean you can suppress anyone you want. Just watch, the more you invest your power in the conferment of godhood, the greater the backlash you'll suffer in the future. The three lords aren't so easily fooled. You've become one of them, and you're still thinking about your old employer? Heh, you're probably overthinking it."

The idea of ​​ghost ships is correct.

God must be impartial, especially those who have been ordained. They may have their former masters in mind, but they cannot ignore the influence of divinity.

Divinity is a very special ability; divinity is the extension of God's will.

In other words, once they become gods, unless they stop cultivating and using their divine abilities, they will be gradually corrupted.

And what corrupted them were the three supreme gods.

Their divine power illuminates the entire world, and those who are enshrined as gods must absorb and comprehend their divinity in order to progress.

Just as a divine cultivator who wants to progress does not need spiritual energy or profound insights, but all of it comes from the primordial chaos.

They, too, must absorb the divine reflection of the three great gods in order to make progress.

Once absorbed and refined, the change in personality will be the simplest, but it will be a comprehensive transformation.

This is why gifted immortals like Jiang Shang only wanted to be carefree immortals, hoping to use this system to reincarnate rather than actually cultivate the divine path.

"Sir, do you mean that although the scene looks grand, like a huge upheaval, it's not actually as serious as everyone thinks?" Lin Heicao, also known as Xiaocao, said.

She has the least experience and knowledge; she's just there to make up the numbers.

"That's right, it doesn't have that much influence. This is the cultivation world. Our Lord has already established a solid foundation. How could a mere divine path shake it? It's just that it looks attractive on the surface. After a while, it definitely won't be as popular as it is now. Don't worry, besides..."

The ghost ship continued, "Besides, so what if they are made gods? Does being made a god mean they can start at the fourth-tier True King level? Impossible. Their strength is still based on their own level. Their strength is just so-so. With the help of the divine system, they are only roughly the same as true cultivators. It's just that they have a future."

Upon hearing this, all three understood.

These people were originally untalented and had no future; they only gained a future after becoming gods.

But we and others still have a future.
