I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 471 Return
The ancient scroll on sword casting lists in detail the casting methods of hundreds of flying swords. However, the flying swords cast by these methods are mostly of mediocre quality and are all standard items. Because flying swords belong to different attributes, the casting methods are different. For example, the flying swords of the fighting department need to be refined with the power of the stars; the flying swords of the fire department need to be attached with the strange flames between heaven and earth; the flying swords of the thunder department need to be carefully written with thunder patterns...

Xu Jia carefully examined the ancient scroll with a look of satisfaction on his face, thinking secretly in his heart: It seems that the Heavenly Court sent gods to save this world of the Dharma Ending Age, but they actually have ulterior motives, they just want to produce more, just like drawing blood from this world continuously.

But which dynasty or generation did not collect tributes and taxes? Since the Heavenly Court has the grace of saving the world, it seems that it is not impossible to let this world sign the so-called unequal treaty and let it continue to repay this "loan" for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Xu Jia had no sympathy for the fact that the Great Heng Dynasty, which was supported by the Heavenly Court, was destroyed by the Immortal Dao. After many years, the path to the rise of the Great Heng Dynasty was blocked, and its demise was an inevitable outcome.

But I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart. Even the high and mighty Heaven couldn't escape the cycle of history? After Huang Tianshang abdicated, the Huang Tian Sect that believed in him was labeled as a cult in an instant. Now I don't know which Heavenly Emperor is in power, and what new philosophy of governance he has, so that he completely overturned many of the actions of the previous Heavenly Emperor...

When Xu Jia thought of his great ambition, he could not help but feel pessimistic. Fortunately, this negative emotion did not last too long, otherwise, once the inner demons grew, his Yang Shen Wucui realm would be regressed, and it might even attract the demon gods to come and give him a severe test, causing his realm to be knocked down.

"The value of this ancient sword-making scroll cannot be underestimated." Xu Jia said to Gongye Xingyun, "Your family is sincere in offering it."

Gongye Xingyun replied, "However, many of the materials recorded in this ancient scroll are hard to find nowadays, and some of the casting techniques are also extremely difficult to replicate. The sword-making method of the Sword Casting Villa has also undergone several changes over the past thousand years. In this way, if we really want to talk about the value of this ancient scroll, it is nothing more than a useless thing."

Having said that, the Sword-Forging Villa does have its unique value after all. At least the research results of more than a thousand years are still firmly in their hands.

"Gongye Xingyun, you can practice peacefully in Huashan for a while. After I have completed the skills for you, you can return to Zhujian Villa with them. During this period, I will give you careful guidance. In addition, you can also practice several sets of skills and sword skills of Huashan sect."

"Thank you, Master!" Gongye Xingyun hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude.

"Huo Can'er, go and tell the two elders at Huashan to take charge of all matters concerning the incorporation of Zhujian Villa into our Huashan sect. They are both earthly immortals, so their actions won't attract too much attention. Just don't make it public for now, and let those disciples of Zhujian Villa who have joined other sects leave first to avoid being implicated."

When Gongye Xingyun heard this, he was moved and felt that the master was very thoughtful in his actions.

Xu Jia continued, "As for the tributes to the various sects, stop them from now on. Now that you have surrendered to me, you should stop being a wavering fence-sitter, especially towards Shushan."

Xu Jia paused for a moment, his expression becoming more serious: "Of course, from the moment you came to me with the sword-making scroll, I had no other choice."

"Ascend...Ascend..." Gongye Xingyun's eyes dimmed, and he muttered to himself, "If Shushan was willing to help us, why would we have to do this?"

In this world, ascending to heaven and leaving has become the consensus of most practitioners. This is because this world is about to enter the Dharma Ending Age, which is the catastrophe of the extinction of the Dharma. The spiritual power is becoming increasingly lazy, and all kinds of natural treasures are gradually disappearing.

On the contrary, those caves with restrictions left over from ancient times have frequently appeared in the world because of the lack of spiritual power, which makes the restrictions invalid. At first glance, it seems that another golden age of cultivation has arrived, but in fact it is just a flash of light. Xu Jia did not tell Gongye Xingyun and others the cruel truth, but silently lamented the various divisions and helplessness in this world.

At this time, the mortal world was already in the middle and late Yuan Dynasty. Not to mention the Zoroastrianism in the Western Regions, the Ming Cult in the Central Plains alone had rebelled many times, the most famous of which was the battle against Fang La by the Liangshan heroes. Now, under Xu Jia's interference, the Ming Cult may be about to start another war in the Central Plains, following the trend of history and laying the foundation for the emergence of the Ming Dynasty.

Historically, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he conferred titles on city gods all over the world. Before Zhu Yuanzhang, although city gods existed, they were not so common and their status was not recognized.

How is this not a "Ming Dynasty Conferred Gods Romance"?

The City God pantheon is a Shinto system that is highly dependent on humanity. It belongs to the acquired pantheon, which is different from the innate pantheon. The system belongs to the netherworld and is biased towards the world after death.

At the same time, the Ming Dynasty also built the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth to worship the gods and stabilize the country's destiny.

There is naturally nothing to say about this in reality, but when placed in the setting of immortal heroes and gods, it undoubtedly redefines a new concept of governing the world, where humans and gods rule together.

Man governs the yang, and spirit governs the yin.

The key to this world lies in the Youming Dynasty. If one can succeed in the Youming Dynasty, then one can delay the coming of the great catastrophe of the end of the world. If one fails, then natural and man-made disasters will appear at the same time, and the spiritual vitality of the Central Plains will be completely cut off, and demons and monsters will wreak havoc on the world.

This is the time when "Yao Qing" rules the world, which corresponds to the great catastrophe of the extinction of law. Yao Qing is similar to King Zhou of Shang and Daji, who brings the end of an era and ushers in the darkest, most law-destroying, and most chaotic era, until the universe is reshaped or civilization is completely destroyed.

Xu Jia deduced the secrets of heaven and felt that it was full of magic. However, his ability was limited after all. It was impossible for him to just deal with this mess without any advancement in the America world and the original world. He could only make plans in advance. If he really wanted to do something, he had to wait for another 30 years until the Ming Dynasty was established.

Therefore, Xu Jia did not continue to pay attention to other things, such as Deng Yin’s trip to the Great Snow Cave in West Kunlun, the old demon in Tiecheng Mountain, or the Shu Mountain.

He simply announced that he would go into seclusion to study martial arts for Gongye Xingyun Sword-Forging Villa. He then gave up his magic and used the Weiji Immortal Sword and the Nanming Lihuo Immortal Sword to open the Chaos Pearl Channel, sending his soul back to his original body and returning to the Taoist temple on the top of Sanqing Mountain.

Also brought back were many martial arts techniques from the world of Shushan Swordsman, ancient scrolls on sword-making, and other crystallizations of knowledge and civilization.
