Taoist Master Xuanhuang

As the temple keeper predicted, in the following period of time, statues of gods began to rise from the ground in various places within the Confucian school's control.

Because it was handled by the Confucian school, a lot of trouble was saved.

For a deity statue to be imbued with spiritual power, it requires sufficient faith and incense offerings. This is easily achieved by Confucian scholars, unlike when cultivating a divine path, which requires a certain amount of time to accumulate spiritual power before a deity statue of the Dao Lord of Xuanhuang can generate spirituality.

The Confucian school and the Temple of Literature are taking action here.

Meanwhile, the Martial Temple and the Martial Arts Alliance were also taking action.

Jiang Shang and Confucius were experts in the study of the universe.

Confucius's Refining Domain Method mainly comes from his research on the Xuanhuang Will Method.

Jiang Shang's desire to refine the Martial Temple Domain stemmed primarily from his research on the Xuanhuang Field.

They have similarities, but also differences.

The refining of the Martial Temple domain is mainly accomplished through domain resonance.

Treat the Martial Temple as a vast field, and consider the countless fields, mountains, rivers, and other fields within the Xia Kingdom as other fields.

Although these famous mountains and rivers cannot compare to the top-level realms, they can accumulate little by little.

When a deity from the Martial Temple is reincarnated, it carries the field template of the Martial Temple realm to spread and flourish. Once the conception is successful, it means that the Martial Temple realm indirectly resonates with other fields.

Once this resonance lasts for a long time, the field of the top-level realm can assimilate the field of the lower level.

It's like gradually extending its reach to other areas over time, thus expanding the scope of the Martial Temple's domain.

After all, each assimilation of a field strengthens the Martial Temple domain.

In this way, even if it is a divine reincarnation, the Martial Temple Realm would be happy to see it, just like seeing its own child build a foundation and then repay its old mother.

This is positive feedback.

Of course, it would be great if it were just positive feedback like this.

Jiang Shang didn't think that way. His goal was the same as Confucius': to refine his own Martial Temple Domain and become the true master and controller of the domain.

In this way, one can transform the realm into one's own dantian world and become a true cultivator.

To achieve this, secret techniques are naturally indispensable, and countless methods utilize the principles of Xuanhuang.

For example, even if he refined the Martial Temple, he still couldn't suppress his own will, ending up in the same situation as Confucius.

Both of them had the same thought: the Jianmu clone that was rooted in the two realms.

All of these require the suppression of Jianmu (a type of ancient Chinese tree), which is simply a matter of materializing the imagined manifestation of Jianmu.

Ultimately, it relies on the will of Xuanhuang to suppress the world to control the entire realm and prevent it from spiraling out of control.

Confucius had his own laws of will, and Jiang Shang naturally had his own laws of will as well.

However, the difference is that Confucius mainly referred to the Four Gates and Twelve Heavenly Pillars Refining Intent Method, while Jiang Shang used the Life and Death Reincarnation Refining Intent Method.

The Xuanhuang Refining Intent Method, whether it is the Four Gates and Twelve Pillars Refining Intent Method, the Life and Death Reincarnation Refining Intent Method, or the Return to the Void and the Mysterious Mist Refining Intent Method.

None of them should be regarded as methods for a certain stage; rather, each method of refining intention should be regarded as a method of refining intention that leads directly to the Great Dao.

In other words, a cultivator can use a single cultivation technique to reach its limit.

The Four Gates and Twelve Pillars Refining Intent Method may seem to only temper the first level of true will at Xuanhuang, but that is not the case.

If one is willing, one can certainly continue to improve. How could a method that uses the power of heaven and earth to temper one's will only temper one level of the will of heaven and earth?

Don't forget, where does the so-called power of heaven and earth come from?

It comes from the power of heaven and earth within the opened dantian world. How much so-called power of heaven and earth can there be in the void within a dantian?

Because of the void, and the connection within the dantian, it was as if a trace of the power of heaven and earth was being utilized.

When one reaches the second stage of willpower, having the foundation of first-stage true willpower, one can completely transform the void within the dantian into the real power of the external world.

The true will of the first rank is condensed into inscriptions and engraved on the four gates and twelve pillars. It is strengthened and refined little by little, and can be improved infinitely.

Theoretically, there is no limit; the limit is the power of the entire universe.

When the power of heaven and earth can no longer temper your will, it means you are not much different from heaven and earth.

There are no limits to the law.

With a change of environment, or by gathering stronger inscriptions and stronger Four Gates and Twelve Pillars, it is entirely possible to continue to improve.

The cycle of life and death is the same. Xuanhuang created several methods of refining intent for his own reasons.

For example, the first stage of Xuanhuang involves body refinement, the second stage involves Qi refinement, the third stage involves spirit refinement, and then one must purify spiritual energy to refine innate Qi, and so on.

This is the main reason why each level of Xuanhuang requires a different method of refining intent.

If it weren't for these reasons, Xuanhuang could have reached the fourth level of willpower realization entirely through a single refining technique.

In the eyes of cultivators, each of the Dao Lord's methods of refining intent is a path of refining intent, and there are no limits to it.

Jiang Shang chose the method of refining his will through the cycle of life and death.

It was mainly because it suited him. He still remembered the time when he cultivated the true will of the second stage of Xuanhuang, and it also gave birth to the Five Elements Master.

The divine treasure trove has been opened, the place where the five elements originate.

Jiang Shang followed Xuanhuang's experience to forge his own path.

He would take a piece of his will from each of the gods he reincarnated into, and reincarnate with that god.

Just as when the Five Elements of Xuanhuang were conceived, Xuanhuang shattered into ninety, eighty, and seventy percent of its true will at a time.

Of course, Jiang Shang couldn't be that crazy, shattering ninety percent of his will in one go, unless he didn't want to live anymore.

He only gave a tiny bit, really a tiny bit, perhaps less than one-thousandth.

After all, he needs to divide up a lot of space; if he divides up too much, he will collapse first.

He set a limit for himself: he must never split off half of his will, as that would be very dangerous.

Each will that is reincarnated as a deity will grow on its own until it can control the entire field.

And the countless fields meant that his will was greatly enhanced.

Once the will within the field is sufficient to control it, the combination of countless fields will be able to withstand the entire Martial Temple Realm.

That was the moment when he would turn around and refine the Martial Temple Domain.

They deceived everyone, used others to their advantage, and ultimately took advantage of the chaos to plunder.

Don't ask why the local spiritual realms are so foolish as to allow the divine to reincarnate. That's none of your business, because there are others who are more proactive.

This person, or rather, not a person, is the consciousness of the Martial Temple realm.

The children go out to conquer the world and ultimately give back to Him. How could His mother not support Him? She would use her abilities to break through various fields and then let her children take over.

It will also protect the reincarnated deity from being erased or uncooperative by the consciousness of the field.

It can be said that they have calculated things to the core.

Did you choose this one? My idol.

It really was chosen by the consciousness of the realm itself.

After all, consciousness is merely a condensation of the rules of a realm. Don't expect it to have thoughts and wisdom; it only has instincts under the kinetic energy of the rules. It has no wisdom whatsoever; it is only the rules.

In other words, as long as the rules aren't broken, it's okay to sell yourself. He sent people away himself, and He protected them with all His might, so when Jiang Shang's plan succeeds and he turns around to refine Him, please don't cry.

This is Jiang Shang's plan.

Of course, methods such as how to infiltrate one's own will and how to prevent one's will from being detected by the realm are also achieved through the Jianmu tree as a transit point.

The realm believed that Jianmu was gradually taking control of the field, but in fact it was Jiang Shang's will.

In general, people live off the land and water. Jiang Shang and Confucius both wanted Jianmu to lend a hand because they saw that Jianmu had taken root in their homes.

and so.

When the Confucian Temple began its actions, the Martial Temple also began its actions.

"Is everything ready?" Jiang Shang asked.

"The teacher is ready."

"Then let's go. Let's start with the fourth-tier True Kings, beginning with the easy ones."

"Yes!"

Although the plan was perfect and all the mistakes and omissions were thought out, we still started with something simple, experimenting and summarizing our experiences as we went.

The easiest way to reincarnate is at the fourth-tier True King level.

At this point, the Martial Arts Alliance needs an anchor point. Previously, the Martial Arts Alliance occupied famous mountains and rivers and various fields on the land for the purpose of accurate coordinate anchoring.

In this way, the Martial Temple deity can be accurately reincarnated in the field, and with the help of the field's power, an ordinary field can be transformed into a field that can nurture life.

It was the original source of the Martial Temple realm that accomplished all of this.

The divine does not possess this ability.

The term "field" is used broadly. The world is a field, the realm is a field, a cultivator's dantian and even themselves are fields. Everything in the world is a field.

However, different fields have different capabilities. The world, as a large field, has the capabilities of the world, while the realm, as a field, has the capabilities of the realm.

A typical field might be a spiritual vein, a dangerous and perilous place, or a field with no special abilities but simply very strong field energy.

They are all different and want to give birth to life.

The first step is to transform this space to give it the ability to nurture life, and this transformation will be carried out by the Martial Temple Realm.

Simply replicate your own domain rules and imprint them on the domain where the deity will be reincarnated.

As the origin of the top realm, He was capable of doing so.

Don't forget the efforts of the divine itself; it's a two-way effort. Dealing with a field that only has rules is not something that can be accomplished easily.

"Once my plan succeeds, my will will naturally be withdrawn," Jiang Shang concluded.

This means that I am only using the field to counterattack the Martial Temple, and I do not intend to occupy the field where you were born forever. You are the future masters of the field.

"Yes, teacher, we did not mean that." The disciples understood.

"Yes, I know you understand, but I still have to say it. Besides, this is only the first step. If the field plan goes smoothly, we can directly plan the boundary. You also know about the division of the boundary."

Jiang Shang painted a picture of a cake and said...

Don't assume that people at their level stop making empty promises; they still do.

Moreover, a promise that can be fulfilled is not a promise, but a dream; it is a promise that cannot be fulfilled that is a promise.

The saints nodded, naturally understanding what their teacher meant.

It's about dividing up the territories in consultation with the three supreme gods. Those within the territory have official status, but those outside don't have this protection.

If you can possess a field, why can't you possess a realm?

It is still possible for a top-tier realm to possess a high- or mid-tier realm.

It's far better to directly seize a domain and refine it into your own dantian than to go to a field.

Unless it's a large-scale field comparable to a boundary.

"Fellow disciples, let me remind you, a planet is also a huge field, and the world is also a huge field, which can even be extended. Don't think that reincarnation into a small field will limit your development. It won't. As long as you work hard, what's wrong with asking your teacher to change your field in the future? I wonder if any of you have studied a creature called a hermit crab?"

Sun Wu spoke.

He was reminding the first batch of reincarnated saints not to feel wronged, not to feel like they were experimental subjects, and not to feel like they were starting from the most ordinary realm.

Don't be dissatisfied; everything depends on human effort.

As long as you work hard enough, what's wrong with being reincarnated in a different realm? As long as you make the right path, you'll have a bright future.

Even you are pioneers. Pioneers face dangers, but they also have opportunities.

Sure enough, some things were not suitable for Jiang Shang to say, but were suitable for his two chief protectors, Sun Wu and Wu Qi, to say.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they immediately felt that the world was vast and boundless.

The possibilities are endless as long as you let your thoughts run wild.

Yes, it's just the first place of gestation. Although the example my senior gave was not good, like hermit crabs, they can molt, so there's nothing wrong with that, right?

There are many fields in a broad sense, such as planets and worlds.

As long as you work hard enough and endure enough hardship, you'll always find... there's no end to the hardships, cough cough.

That's not right either; it's too negative.

If hardship brings rewards, no one thinks it's bad.

I'm afraid of enduring the most hardship, only to receive a tiny, or even none, reward.

This is the main reason for the dissatisfaction.

"This is a bright future, but no matter how bright it is, it all starts with taking the first step. Fellow disciples, you must work hard," Wu Qi said.

Everyone knows about Jiang Shang's laws, but the knowledge of different levels of deities varies depending on their status.

Clearly, these fourth-tier kings knew very little.

Unlike Wu Qi, Sun Wu, and even Han Xin, Yue Fei, Li Jing, Bai Qi, etc., who often studied and discussed with Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang said this was a law of collective wisdom, and he wasn't being modest; it was indeed true.

From the initial outline to the disciples' current efforts to complete it, it has become unrecognizable and completely different.

Once you start studying the concept of field and get a feel for it, you'll find that there are virtually no limits.

It's so vast, so profound.

"Furthermore, after you are reincarnated, do not forget to temper your will. You must understand that no matter how vast the future may be, it requires the support of will, and you must not be negligent."

As a teacher, and a strict one at that, Jiang Shang needed to speak to someone of equal standing.

Yes, these reincarnated saints are also practicing the method of refining their will through the cycle of birth and death, since they also split off a portion of their will to be reincarnated.

It's not just about improving one's cultivation level, changing one's identity, and breaking free from the shackles of holiness, but also about cultivating magical power and willpower.

That's why the new Investiture of the Gods is so sensational; it's truly superior to Confucius's Legalist teachings.

"is teacher!"

All the kings responded in unison. (End of Chapter)
