Shennong Daojun.

Chapter 597 imparts the experience of proving the Dao through Heaven and Earth.

The immeasurable true god is about to become the immeasurable true god king, and his backing is being upgraded, which is undoubtedly good news.

If he's this powerful as a general, what will he be like as a god-king?
Upon hearing this news, Zhao Xing naturally offered his congratulations with great delight:
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

The Boundless True God smiled and waved his hand, and a Taoist book floated out.

"This is my understanding of the process of proving the Dao of Heaven and Earth. Now that you are a mid-stage Divine General with a stable origin, you can also study it."

"Yes."

Zhao Xing suppressed his excitement and accepted it as if it were a precious treasure.

The enlightenment journey of the immeasurable true gods, and their insights!

This Taoist book is incredibly precious!

Throughout the vast river of time, countless extraordinary figures have emerged, yet the immeasurable true gods still radiate a brilliant and dazzling light.

Among the divine generals, how many can compare to Wuliang?

After much thought, Zhao Xing concluded that the only possible solution was the ancient Luo River.

As for Bovi, he felt he still lacked a certain depth.

Upon returning to Daoqing Land from the Boundless Divine Temple, Zhao Xing eagerly opened the Daoist books to read.

The method of proving the Dao in Heaven and Earth is a closely guarded secret of every power; even a master might not tell his disciple. Yet, the Boundless True God was willing to show it to him.

Opening a Taoist book, the first sentence is a striking admonition:

"The path to enlightenment is fraught with risks. Success leads to becoming a true god without tribulations, while failure brings not only no reward but also a divine tribulation that weakens one's origin and causes one to fall in realm."

Zhao Xing was shocked. He hadn't realized that failing to prove one's Dao could have such serious consequences.

"No wonder that after becoming a free god, one must wait until one's foundation is solid before going to heaven and earth to prove one's Dao."

According to the Nian beast, proving the Dao of Heaven and Earth means healing the sick.

If the condition is cured, there will be a reward; if it is not cured, there will be medical disputes.

This patient is quite special; he is a manifestation of heaven and earth, the universe, and the Tao.

"The strength of a true god depends mainly on the length of time and the extent of its enlightenment, as well as the strength of the things it uses to demonstrate its power."

"The strongest manifestation of the Dao of Heaven and Earth is the five Divine Emperors."

"Its way extends through the nine heavens and ten earths, influencing the past and the future, regardless of people, things, or events."

The Taoist text begins by introducing five divine emperors.

Because the five divine emperors are all the supreme manifestations of the Dao of Heaven and Earth.

At the same time, the Boundless True God also mentioned the Fengshan ceremony, the highest way for Heaven and Earth to attain enlightenment, which is to seal Heaven and offer sacrifices to Earth.

Regardless of whether the God-Emperor was a free god before, once he becomes the God-Emperor, he must go through this step.

Therefore, there is no longer any distinction between the Free God Emperor and the True God Emperor.

The two words "Divine Emperor" are enough to represent it.

"The Ancestor of the Void created the martial arts, his body became heaven and earth, and the brilliance of the Great Dao spread to endless territories. The physique of the human race was improved, and they gradually rose to prominence."

Transforming oneself into heaven and earth, creating the martial arts path—this is the path of the Void Ancestor to attain enlightenment.

In the early stages of the Archean or Proterozoic Eon, when the human race first appeared, they were unable to compete with other races in the universe. The emergence of the Xuzu (a legendary being) enabled the human race to begin to rise.

He transformed into heaven and earth, providing humanity with a pure land where they could grow safely and gradually become stronger, eventually gaining a firm foothold in the universe.

However, the ancestral home of the Void Ancestor is quite distant, and the Boundless True God has never seen it, so there are only a few words about it here.

"In the Divine Court, there is Dao Lord Mingli, who is the first god to be worshipped."

"After the disappearance of the Ancestor Xu, Mingli opened up the path of sacrificial gods, created reincarnation, redefined the order of the Dao, abolished human sacrifice, and became the second generation of God Emperor."

The Lord of the Netherworld is the God Emperor, the Li Emperor, who succeeded the Ancestor of the Void.

The Mingli Wuying Technique that Zhao Xing learned was created by the Li Emperor during the Dao Lord's era.

So it was the god of priests?
"What does 'creating reincarnation' mean? Was the Reincarnation Realm defined by Emperor Li, or did he create the Reincarnation Temple, or perhaps he created the Law of Reincarnation?"

Zhao Xing knew about the need to redefine the Daoist order and abolish human sacrifice.

It was after this that the straw figure ritual flourished for a period of time, and as the Minister of Agriculture and the priests vied for power, the straw figure ritual ceased to be a ritual practice and was classified as a Ministry of Agriculture ritual.

"Zhuanxu created the path of destiny, eliminated demons, and opened up the nine heavens and ten earths. From then on, the human race could make use of the blessed lands of the sacred mountains, take what the heavens had to give them, make up for their own deficiencies, and become the third generation of divine emperors."

Zhao Xing could easily understand Zhuanxu's enlightenment, since he had just captured Ruixuan.

The orthodox God of Fortune does not plunder the fortune of life, but rather gathers the essence of heaven and earth to increase fortune.

Before this, people couldn't make good use of this; they just instinctively sought out good places to eat and stay.

Before Emperor Zhuanxu, there was no concept of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, according to the Taoist scriptures of the Boundless True Gods.

The land is very scattered, including star continents, boundary stars, Panhu continent, and so on.

Heaven refers to the various worlds, large and small, born in the universe, including the Primordial Realm, the Realm of All Phenomena, and the Realm of Nirvana.

In other words, Zhuanxu moved these places together, bringing them together to form the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

"According to the theory of the four realms of the universe, Zhuanxu's actions unintentionally slowed down the aging process of the universe," Zhao Xing said, seemingly enlightened.

Hot water in a small cup cools down quickly, but hot water in a pond takes a long time to cool down.

Stealing or dividing matter can easily accelerate the decline of the universe. The gods of the Desolate Era and the gods of the past faction are both vying for each other's matter.

"Yu Huang Haoqian subdued demon gods, governed all races, opened the Divine Sound Path, created the Theory of Heavenly Nature, re-established the order of races, and sealed the heavens and offered sacrifices to the earth, becoming the fourth generation of Divine Emperor."

The Feather Emperor is a hybrid of human and demon races, born with wings. His only major achievement is to bring other races besides humans into the Divine Court.

Starting with the Feather Emperor, a large number of demons were removed from the kill list, and demon gods were also allowed to hold important positions in the Divine Court. During this period, the number of demons was greatly reduced, and many ancient gods, demon gods, and dark source life forms were also assimilated.

Humans no longer distinguish friend from foe or classify demons based on their physical appearance, but rather on their spirituality.

When Zhao Xing first met Lu Ya, he saw the "Theory of Human Nature," which was created by Yu Huang.

Humans no longer kill and eat other races or use them as materials for refining; instead, they begin to coexist peacefully with them.

Only races whose spirituality is extremely chaotic and cannot be enlightened, and who are born bloodthirsty and extremely destructive, are designated as 'demons'.

The Way of the Feather Emperor has a profound influence.

The Boundless True God specifically mentioned its benefits to the Minister of Agriculture.

Before the Feather Emperor, the Hou Reform Method of the Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Timing Faction and the Di Reform Method of the Minister of Agriculture of the Earthly Advantage Faction were directly judged as evil methods.

Because in the early stages of the Hou Reform and Di Reform, if humans transformed into other races, they might not be able to revert back.

They believed this to be demonic magic, and that it violated the 'morality' of human life forms.

In addition, there were occasional demonic officials who used this kind of magic to harm people, turning them into demons and then killing them to claim credit. Therefore, before the Emperor Yu, the system of officials was not perfect at all.

The Primal Faction is also having a tough time, because tree spirits are also spirits, and the Primal Faction's Minister of Agriculture is basically unable to raise combat-type troops.

Most egoist sansnophobic plants only cultivate auxiliary plants with low spirituality or whose spirituality is concentrated in the fruit, which can bring benefits.

With Emperor Haoqian's ascension to the throne, the position of the Minister of Agriculture rose sharply, and all three factions began to emerge. In particular, the Marquis Reform, the Land Reform, combat troop types, and legionary divine skills were greatly enhanced during this period.

In addition, the Feather Emperor improved the Divine Sound System. Before this, it was very difficult to become a god by cultivating the Five Divine Sounds. After this, the difficulty for musicians and dancers to become gods was greatly reduced.

Dance and music were formally incorporated into the Fengshan ceremony, which in turn spurred the development of sacrificial rituals.

It can be said that the path to enlightenment of the Feather Emperor involves the widest range of races and benefits the most career paths.

There are many descriptions of the Feather Emperor, which is related to the fact that the Boundless True God was previously considered to be a subordinate of the Feather Emperor.

"After the Feather Emperor, Di Luo became the last God Emperor."

"Emperor Luo created the 'Theory of Chaos Realm,' governed the desolate regions, eradicated intractable diseases, and revised history; during the reign of Emperor Luo, it became easier for historians and physicians to become gods, and in addition, the status of the Minister of Agriculture and the Heavenly Time faction rose."

"This is mainly because the Dao that Emperor Luo proved eliminated the vast majority of diseases. In addition, the theory of the desolate region was formally formed, and the theory of the four realms of the universe of the Self School of Agriculture and the cosmology of the Geographical School of Agriculture were both perfected during this period."

"Theories of time and space, the Xuanling History Book, ancient medicine, and the Academy City all originated during the reign of Emperor Luo."

Zhao Xing thought of Fan Qianrou, the God of Physicians under the Luo Emperor, whose Seven Star Cabinet was formed from her Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart and sealed the Desolate God Poison.

Fan Qianrou's last words specified that only the Emperor of Luo could cure the Desolate God Poison.

In addition, Bi Qi and Wei Tianchen were both born during the reign of Emperor Luo.

The Academy City, the Mysterious Spirit History Book, and the Transmission Tower also appeared at this time.

"The time it took Luo Huang to complete unification was the longest, but the time he maintained that unification was the shortest." Zhao Xing drew a conclusion from the description of the Boundless True God.

"It seems like Emperor Luo is a bit weaker than the other God Emperors."

Other God Emperors quickly defeated the other Dao Lords, possessed the strongest power, and had many directly subordinate Gods, but Emperor Luo was clearly different.

Under his command are many non-direct forces. Although many forces were born during this period, not all of them necessarily obeyed Emperor Luo.

Zhao Xing continued to read, but found no further description. After using the Five Emperors as an example, the Boundless True God began to describe in more detail the process of Heaven and Earth proving the Dao, as well as the difference between the True God and the Free God.

“Cultivate the origin to become a free god, Heaven and Earth prove the Dao to become a true god. Free gods have divine tribulations, but true gods do not.”

"In essence, there is no obvious difference between the two in terms of strength or weakness. It is only because the universe is constantly weakening that the self-reliant god who cultivates the origin is also becoming weaker and weaker."

"This results in the true god's fighting power usually being stronger than that of the free god."

Zhao Xing nodded secretly.

He has now merged his three origins into a free god, but he does not feel that Bai Fan, who has proven the Dao of Heaven and Earth, is that strong. The fusion of the three divine thunders is enough to threaten Bai Fan.

If the four divine thunders were to merge, they could likely severely injure Bai Fan.

The opponent was at the peak of the Divine General realm, while I was only at the mid-stage of the Divine General realm; this is an example.

Going back further, there's the Moon Sovereign in recent times and the Lotus Sound God General in the distant past, none of them were ridiculously strong.

After Yue Zai was killed, Lian Yin Shen Jiang was easily captured by Wu Liang Zhen Shen and became a prisoner.

One reason why the true God is stronger than the independent God is that the universe is weakening and the overall environment is deteriorating, so the independent God is correspondingly weaker.

Secondly, with the divine tribulation pressing down upon them, they are not as unrestrained in battle as true gods.

The purpose of practicing the Divine Concealment Technique is to avoid calamity, but fighting will accumulate karma, which will accelerate the arrival of the divine calamity.

As the saying goes, there is no weak path; it all depends on the person cultivating it.

"The power of a true god is influenced by four main factors."

“The place of enlightenment, the object of enlightenment, the duration of enlightenment, and the method of enlightenment.”

"Simply put, it is matter, law, heaven, and earth."

“The weakest true god has neither the means nor the method to attain enlightenment; he became a true god simply by doing something right unintentionally.”

Zhao Xing found it strange that one could become a true god without the method of attaining enlightenment or the method of attaining enlightenment.

He soon saw the evidence.

"After the Li Emperor Era ended, during the chaotic era, the 'Starfish Continent' of Panhu Land experienced a cataclysmic geological event that lasted for 3.75 million years."

"The area of ​​the starfish continent is only about 300 million square kilometers."

"Yi Ying, the Minister of Agriculture of the Four Kun Palace, passed by Haixing Continent and, with a sense of righteousness in his heart, took the initiative to govern the land."

"He was lucky; the catastrophe was almost over, so it was quickly quelled."

"After the cataclysm that lasted for more than three eras ended, the God of Agriculture, Yi Ying, suddenly felt that his magic had been greatly enhanced and all sorts of miraculous things happened."

"Take the Enlightenment Earth Splitting Technique of the Four Kun Palaces as an example. Originally, it was only a medium-to-high-level technique, but when he used it, its power increased tenfold."

"Mountain method, underground palace method, earth passage method, the growth is even more exaggerated."

"And when he encounters danger, he can use his Earth-Connecting Technique to travel a great distance and return to the Sea Star Continent."

"Yi Ying rose to fame and even became the Palace Master of the Four Kun Palace."

"However, this miraculous event only lasted for three Yang years before it ended."

"Yi Ying's strength has returned to its original state. At that time, he was fighting against the Demon God, and his strength suddenly dropped, so he died at the hands of the Demon God."

Upon seeing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.

Of the four elements—object, law, heaven, and earth—Yi Ying clearly only obtained one.

Only the main places of enlightenment are present, and the duration is too short.

Unfortunately, he knew the facts but not the reasons behind them.

They did not take the opportunity to create anything for proving the Way, nor did they create any method for proving the Way.

Three years later, the Sea Star Land of Panhu experienced another catastrophe, turning most of the Sea Star Land into a dead zone and severing the connection between heaven and earth.

Yi Ying transformed from a true god into a free god, reverting to her original form.

His strength was greatly diminished, and he happened to be in the middle of a battle when he died at the hands of the demon god.

"I was lucky and accidentally completed the [Earth Proof] and received feedback, but the scope is small, the duration is short, and it is easy to repeat. This is the weakest true god."

Things, laws, heaven, and earth—each step is extremely important.

All four steps must be complete and strong; otherwise, it will only be a flash in the pan.

Zhao Xing then saw the Boundless True God elaborate on matter, law, heaven, and earth.

The concepts represented by the things that prove the Way, the methods that prove the Way, Heaven, and Earth cannot be generalized.

For example, Yi Ying unintentionally achieved the Dao of Heaven and Earth because he governed the changes in the land of 'Sea Star Land', but this was only the work of the God of Agriculture.

Some instances of the Dao being proven in the heavens and earth do not manifest in obvious ways.

Zhao Xing continued reading and soon saw that the Boundless True God used himself, the Crimson Star Emperor, and the Realm God General as examples.

All three were mechanics, but their paths were completely different.

The three examples are: the Boundless True God is from the perspective of a participant, the Realm God is a loser, and the Great Emperor is a stronger one.

Such detailed descriptions quickly captivated Zhao Xing, making him unable to tear himself away.
