I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 522: Kaitianxia Agricultural Company
By this time, the sky was already dark. In the night sky, the hundred-acre thunderclouds covering the Taiyi Temple and the brilliant light rain that spread over dozens of miles became increasingly dazzling.

In the towering Xuanpin Gate, in the flowing and rotating river of stars, it seems as if there is an almighty god holding thunder and striking iron flowers, which are scattered towards the night sky.

There were also beams of long rainbows breaking through the air, converging from all directions, bringing with them a sharp sound like the cry of a phoenix, presenting colorful brilliance, and converging at the foot of Taiyi Temple.

There were thousands of these long rainbows, like colorful brocades floating in the air, trying to leap into the black and white Xuanpin Gate, into the infinite galaxy that reversed upwards to the sky, and transform into immortals.

The so-called fish leaping over the dragon gate is nothing more than this.

These long rainbows landed in front of the mountain gate of Taiyi Temple. Through the gate, looking at the green lotuses blooming in the hall, each one swaying gracefully under the warm energy of thunder and lightning, and about to bloom, he felt more and more that the opportunity in his heart had arrived.

From it appeared several corpse-reincarnated immortals, some wearing pine and crane longevity robes, some wearing lotus solemn crowns, and some holding forget-your-worries dust. Yin energy gathered and fell to the ground, forming light white clouds that floated in the air, like immortals in the clouds. The thousand-foot-high Menshen Mountain seemed to stand above the sea of ​​clouds. It did not look like a temple on earth, but a palace in heaven.

However, these hundreds of thousands of immortals in the clouds are now worshipping the main hall, "Please Master, please open the door of convenience and save us from the disaster of thunder."

At the highest point of the galaxy, a gaze fell on the group of fairies in the clouds, and then rays of starlight poured out from the Xuanpin Gate, turning into stairs, spreading from top to bottom.

Hundreds and thousands of corpse-reincarnated immortals saw the steps to heaven descending from the Xuanpin Gate, and they all smiled with joy. They went up hand in hand one by one, fell into the Taisu Chenfeng, and turned into huge balls of yin.

The gathering of these negative elements instantly attracted the thunderclouds in the sky, and the hundred acres of thunder expanded to a thousand acres of thunder, which not only covered the Taiyi Temple, but also the Feixian Palace next to it. The two Taoists nearby were so frightened that they quickly organized their disciples to go down the mountain to take refuge.

In the nebula, Zhou Tieyi looked at the more than 300 corpse-reincarnated immortals flying over at this time, as well as the thousands of corpse-reincarnated immortals rushing over from all directions of Daxia, and did not immediately let them enter the cauldron for transformation.

Hundreds or thousands of corpse-reincarnated immortals could be transformed at once, and the gathered thunder force would be enough to destroy the heaven and earth. He himself was now a carefree Minister of Monks, so naturally he had no shortage of time. This Taiyi Dharma Assembly could be held for one day or forty-nine days.

He raised his hand and pointed, and the Tai Su Chen Feng turned into a series of circles, restraining the Yin energy emitted by these corpse-reincarnated immortals and the information interacting with the outside world, so that the thunder clouds in the sky could curb the trend of expansion. Miaoyu also knew what he meant, and she used her magical powers to cleanse out wisps of vitality, which fell on these corpse-reincarnated immortals, harmonizing the Yin energy in their bodies and avoiding attracting more thunder and lightning energy.

At this time, the eight Taiyi Guanshijiexians who first entered the furnace had completed the condensation of their infant bodies under the enlightenment of thunder and fire.

Eight brilliant rays of light flew out from the cauldron and transformed into eight babies with red lips and white skin. The arms of these babies were like peeled lotus roots, snow-white and translucent. They looked human but not human, and they had flesh and blood again. The eight corpse-reincarnated immortals cried for joy, but the sound they made was that of babies crying, which was both ridiculous and laughable.

All eyes were focused on the eight babies, even Zhou Tieyi was the same. Although he was the legislator, this method of corpse transformation and immortal transformation into human was also the first time for him to practice on humans. His spiritual thoughts swept over the eight people bit by bit, and then he communicated with Miaoyu, Zhou's mother, and Taoist Chonghe.

"This new human orifice is really like a baby in the mother's womb. It only needs a dozen more years to grow and become a complete human form. At that time, it is equivalent to living another life. This method... is really unparalleled in the world!"

Taoist Chonghe was the first to sigh, and finally used the word "unparalleled in the world". He was not saying how powerful this human immortal was, but that if he lived another life, then naturally he would have the possibility of living a second or third life. By then, he would be able to cultivate the way to immortality among the ghost immortals. In that case, the number of people in the world who could achieve immortality would be as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river.

"Since it is the transformation of essence, energy and spirit into each other, using one's own spirit as the foundation and transforming it into a physical body is naturally equivalent to living another life."

Seeing that there was no problem with his method, Zhou Tieyi's tone became more casual, "But if you want to live another second or third life with the same method, it may not be that easy."

"Why?" Taoist Chonghe asked. As the master of Taiyi Temple, if this method of ghost immortals could lead to immortality, then he would naturally preach this.

Mother Zhou pointed to the sky with a smile, "Teacher, how come you are in the mountains without seeing the sun? After all, this is a method of stealing the sky and replacing the day. A disaster will befall you soon. The reason why thousands of ghost immortals have crowded into the sect today is not only because the method is hard to come by, but also because they are protected by the great fortune of the earth immortals, and they want to use this to survive the disaster."

Taoist Chonghe looked up and saw thunderclouds covering a thousand acres in the sky. Even as a Taoist who understood astronomical phenomena, he was frightened after seeing it. However, in the Xuanpin Gate, no divine power fell. Even if the thunder from the sky fell and hit the five-colored cauldron in the middle, it quickly turned from killing to rebirth.

Zhou Tieyi continued, "And the ancestor forgot that this method is to transform the soul into flesh after all, and the soul is composed of the three elements of heaven, earth and man, so the consumption should not be underestimated."

Zhou Tieyi pointed at the eight babies crying loudly in front of him. These eight Taiyi Ghost Immortals cried like babies, not only because of the limitations of their current physical bodies, but also because of the drastic consumption of their human souls, which also caused certain changes in their temperaments.

The consumption of human soul is still a small part, the real big part is the heavenly soul and the earthly soul.

Taoist Chonghe was reminded of this and looked thoughtful. He said, "That is to say, this method is similar to Shinto revival."

"All things return to oneness, and nature is similar."

Zhou Tieyi was very sure, "The resurrection of the gods from the dead depends on the great deeds of the gods themselves and the cause and effect entangled with the rules. This is itself a manifestation of the earth soul. Although the ghost immortals do not need to consume so much to transform into human orifices, they still have to consume their own earth souls. The earth soul is the cause and effect of the ghost immortals in the world. Generally speaking, Buddhist merits and Taoist morality all come from good causes and good results. They are invisible and intangible on weekdays. Even a third-grade Taoist cannot use it. But my method consumes earth souls, so naturally it requires ghost immortals to save the world and help the weak. When the good causes are accumulated enough, they will return to the world in the future to have enough earth souls to consume and transform. Otherwise, the transformation will not be visible once, and when it transforms for the second time, the earth soul is weak, and the spirit nourishes the qi, so the soul will naturally fly away."

At this point, Zhou Tieyi paused and said with a smile, "In fact, according to the evil god of Shinto, the evil cause and evil consequence of killing can actually be transformed. After all, heaven and earth are not kind, and treat all things as straw dogs. In the way of heaven, there is no ordinary distinction between good and evil. It's just that the ghost immortals who want to take this path will face more dangerous human calamities than heavenly calamities!"

Zhou Tieyi was the ancestor of the Five Immortals at this time. His words were golden and his voice was like thunder. The more than a thousand ghost immortals present could all hear the profound principles in his words and kill the evil in their hearts.

Of course, not all of these ghost immortals are good people. It can even be said that most of those who have become ghost immortals are cultivators who are afraid of death and are sophisticated egoists. When they heard that evil causes and evil consequences can also be used to transform earth souls, the people present were secretly happy, thinking to themselves, I don’t do good things on a daily basis, but I never thought that they are all the same in the eyes of Heaven.

But Zhou Tieyi's last words blocked the way. His words, "Human calamity is dangerous, even worse than heavenly calamity," turned into thunder and fell on the five-colored cauldron in front of him. As a tool for the transformation of earthly immortals, this cauldron has become a divine tool for the earthly immortals. Today, Zhou Tieyi has imposed laws based on human cause and effect. In the dark, those who want to transform themselves with evil causes and evil consequences will suffer unimaginable human calamity. The ghost immortals present also understood that this was Zhou Tieyi's warning to them and others, and they bowed down and said, "Master, please be wise. How dare we accumulate earth souls with evil causes and evil consequences? However, today, the master has given us a method of transformation, so we can still steal the sky and change the day. If I want to seek a second life in the future, please point out the way."

Zhou Tieyi waved his sleeves, and eight newborn babies fell onto the three thousand green lotuses outside the Ancestral Hall. Eight of the green lotuses bloomed, forming lotus pedestals to catch the babies. Suddenly, streams of green smoke floated out from the Ancestral Hall and landed on the eight babies. They absorbed the green smoke from the incense of the Ancestral Hall, and the eight babies grew up in the wind. In a short while, they grew into children of eight or nine years old.

Only then did Zhou Tieyi smile and say, "Congratulations to my uncles for returning to the Great Dao."

The eight Taiyi immortals who had been reborn did not dare to boast. The oldest one among them said, "Since I have been reborn, I will naturally cut off the title of my previous life and am willing to join the Taiyi Sect again."

In this way, the generation becomes smaller again.

Zhou Tieyi didn't care about these empty formalities. He pointed at the eight people and said, "As for the transformation of ordinary ghost immortals, I have already explained it just now. Since you didn't come at that time, I will say it again."

"Relying on the family home, offering sacrifices with incense, using blood as a bond and incense as a boost, I practiced the true form and transformed back into a human form."

The eight ghost immortals in the Taiyi Sect just now relied on the power of the ancestral incense that had been accumulated in the Taiyi Temple for hundreds of years. These incense powers were accumulated in the ancestral hall by the Taiyi Temple using secret methods. Although they cannot practice Shintoism, these incense powers can still be used to refine treasures and incense, both of which are useful.

At this time, this magical use has been added to another, which is to help ghosts and immortals transform back into humans.

However, the vast majority of ghost immortals are independent cultivators without any sect or school. Many of them established their own families in the secular world when they were alive, so that after they were transformed into ghost immortals, some of them could be protected during thunderstorm nights or when disaster strikes.

Now Zhou Tieyi has set an iron rule that these ghost immortals cannot absorb the beliefs of hundreds of schools like Shintoism, but can only absorb the power of incense from their own bloodlines.

Although this hinders the rapid transformation of ghost immortals into human immortals, it also has its benefits.

That is, the power of incense formed by blood is purer than the power of incense from hundreds of families.

The way of ghost immortals is not the way of Shinto after all. They do not follow the method of refining in the mortal world to reshape their image in the world. Therefore, rashly absorbing the beliefs of hundreds of schools will not only lead to the fact that people today cannot accept the fact that Shinto is being revived by the methods of ghost immortals, but will also cause a large number of ghost immortals to absorb beliefs indiscriminately and eventually turn into crazy evil ghosts and evil gods.

However, it is different to absorb incense from one's own family. Even in the era when Confucian sages suppressed Shinto the most, people were still allowed to worship their own ancestors. This is the basic core morality of humanity and cannot be changed.

Since offering sacrifices to one's own ancestors is permitted, then it is also naturally permitted for the ancestors to use the sacrifices of their children and grandchildren to achieve immortality.

Although it seems self-deceptive, sometimes it is necessary to circumvent this law in order to appear reasonable.

Of course, this in turn requires the ghost immortals to expand their own families and not be able to rely on themselves alone. This is the immortal way complementing the human way.

A ghost immortal can refine a new body not only by using his own soul, but also by using the essence and blood donated voluntarily by his descendants. This is the same principle as blood transfusion between ordinary people.

With the blood essence of blood relatives for transformation, the natural consumption will be reduced a lot. If it is really a big family, and everyone in the family practices martial arts and obtains blood essence, then every New Year, one drop can be offered. In just three to five years, it will be enough for a ghost fairy to transform the fetus' body.

This is the blood bond and the power of incense.

Most of the ghost immortals present were smiling, because Zhou Tieyi's words not only pointed out the way forward, but also opened a loophole in the Daxia sacrifice. Although they, the ghost immortals, could no longer take away the incense of others, they could enjoy the incense of their own family at home under the name of Zhang Tan.

Many of the ghost immortals who had already obtained the 'method of ancestor worship' secretly regretted it, as they had long known that the group of acquired gods were unreliable. Look, this one of the nine ancient gods took action personally and cultivated this method of human immortality, allowing him to roam freely in the world again, which was many times better than secretly collecting incense.

It’s a pity that I have already consumed a lot of my own incense and have been delayed in my path!
The remaining ghost immortals saw that the ancestor Zhou Tieyi was so easy to talk to, so they asked again, "Ancestor Rong Bing, before we transformed into corpses, we were already people in the mountains and wilds, without a sect or family. Now that we have turned into ghost bodies, we don’t know where to find a family. Can the ancestor show us a way forward?"

Faced with this repeated request, Zhou Tieyi was not annoyed, but smiled and said, "Okay, okay."

If you hadn't asked me this, I wouldn't know where to find workers who are destined to work for me!

As he spoke, Zhou Tieyi rolled up the eight ghost immortals again and dropped them into the cauldron to cultivate with the fat Taoist master. Then he continued, "Above the human immortals are called earth immortals. This is the path you are looking for."

"An earthly immortal has half of the heaven and earth, and the talent of a god. However, he does not understand the great way, and can only achieve a small success. He mediates the creation of a thousand acres, combs the earth's veins, and harmonizes yin and yang. I have two skills, one is called the Moon Transformation, also known as the Taiyin Passing Body, and the other is called the Earth Replenishment, also known as the Mysterious Yellow Transformation. If you learn one of them, you will immediately benefit the heaven and earth. At that time, you will transform the moon above to benefit all people, and replenish the earth below to nurture all things. The heaven and earth will not lack, and my life will not be lost. I will live as long as the heaven and be as old as the earth. That's all. Are you willing to learn this way?"

"Of course we are willing, but Master, how can this help us practice the way of immortality?"

Zhou Tieyi smiled and nodded, saying, "Good question."

"I want to open a world agricultural company. At that time, an agricultural company will manage thousands or tens of thousands of acres of land. The earth immortals will be the managers, managing the land veins and water veins of a piece of land. Naturally, they will need the assistance of human immortals and ghost immortals. If the farm is well managed, it can produce 10,000 tons, 100,000 tons, or 1 million tons of food to feed the people of the world. Then, you can still offer your incense. Isn't it wonderful!"
