I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 523: The Man Who Feeds the Tiger, the Immortal Who Raises the Spirit

Zhou Tieyi's true colors were revealed when his plan was finally revealed. It was an earthly immortal's ability to identify water sources and distinguish climates. This was both an internal and external skill. On this basis, Zhou Tieyi's method of transforming the moon into a supplement for the earth gave the earthly immortal the ability to mediate the creation of heaven and earth. Although it was incomplete, it was just like the saying that if you get half of heaven and earth, you can make up for the other half with humanity.

This is the confluence of immortals, and is also a variation of Zhou Tieyi's great way of confluence of gods and humans. Since immortals can merge, naturally there can be a confluence of immortals, gods and humans.

Zhou Tieyi's great path is like an endless torrent, which undergoes mysterious changes as he proclaims the principles of earthly immortality.

The first is the Taiyi Jade Disc, which is the treasure of the confluence of gods and humans. It absorbs the fire of humanity and refines the talismans of the gods. Because the Five Emperors lacked luck, they entered a stage of recuperation. At this time, after the method of local immortality was proposed, the jade disc rose into the air from behind Zhou Tieyi's head, like a huge sun, illuminating the universe and illuminating the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles. The magnificent holy way cannot be looked directly at.

The second is the five-colored cauldron in front of him. The dragon seals on the cauldron become more and more complex as they are refined by ghost immortals. Not only does it contain the seventy-two changes that Zhou Tieyi himself has comprehended, but also the magical principles obtained from refining ghost immortals.

Although these ghost immortal techniques are not as amazing as the ones Zhou Tieyi has realized, they can only produce two or three dragon seals at the least and seven or eight at the most. Only a very small number of ghost immortals with extraordinary talents can realize the nine dragon seals of the top three grades with their ghost immortal bodies. But although the number of each ghost immortal is small, the number of ghost immortals is large.

Today, this five-colored cauldron has become the vessel of the ancestor of the earthly immortals, and it can even be said to be the vessel of the ancestor of the five immortals. It is now gathering the luck of the ghost immortals.

On the wall of the cauldron, with the striking of thunder, with the engraving of the Ghost Immortal Dragon Seal, and with the refining of the life vessels of the Ghost Immortals in the cauldron, Zhou Tieyi's innate magical power gradually turned from virtual to real, and was no longer half real and half virtual.

In the five-colored cauldron, infinite luck gathered and merged with the original golden elixir and jade liquid transformed from the object in which the ghost immortal resided, so that the cauldron wall no longer appeared colorful, but instead appeared the pure white color that symbolized the ghost immortal. This white color was close to jade and as soft as water waves, outlining the pattern of the supreme and wonderful ceremony of the immortals coming to pay homage and the gods appearing in the sky.

And when Zhou Tieyi explained the way to become an immortal, the group of immortals came to pay homage. After they appeared in the sky, they outlined the image of thousands of generations of descendants and continuous incense. In the rising auspicious clouds of incense, ghosts and immortals transformed into infants, left the Yin and returned to the Yang, and their families prospered and their populations grew large.

Zhou Tieyi saw this scene and chuckled, "This thing is done."

He waved his hand and lanterns flew out one after another. On each lantern was written a different surname, 'Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang', totaling hundreds of surnames. At this time, flames rose into the sky from the lanterns and burned the lanterns, but left behind hundreds of surnames that fell on the picture of immortals for generations.

The Queen Mother asked him to help stabilize the country that day, and today is the day to pay the price. How could Zhou Tieyi do business at a loss?

With the support of hundreds of surnames, even without the fire of humanity as its source, this big tripod can continue to draw power from humanity on its own, which is equivalent to a completely independent sacred artifact of the country.

With the help of the fires of the surnames and the luck of the ghosts and immortals, this peerless divine weapon began to appear in the world, and countless masters who had been paying attention to this place immediately felt a sense of it.

In the endless flow of history, a huge tripod, guarded by a group of immortals, transcends the mortal world and leaps on the water, like the rising sun. Although it is not perfect, it is already able to shine on the world and bring blessings to the nine provinces.

On Yujing Mountain, in the Xuanfa Hall.

While Zhou Tieyi was preaching the Dharma, the Queen Mother, the Emperor, and Ke Anran, the three most important figures in the Great Xia court, had gathered together to watch the changes.

At this moment, they all felt a connection in their hearts, and they all looked at the statue that could escape the long river of history, and under the protection of the immortals, become extraordinary and holy, existing now, existing in the past, and existing forever.

The emperor and the other two remained silent. The eunuch Su Xibi, who was also able to feel the power of the huge tripod, could only smile bitterly in his heart. This huge tripod, plus the Tai Chi Yin-Yang bracelet that was revealed before and the Shinto jade disc.

There are already three embryos of peerless divine weapons!

And this is the new thing refined by this ancient nine gods after his reincarnation. We still don’t know what the thing he used to achieve enlightenment and protect the law was. With such means, can’t we say that he is indeed one of the most mysterious nine gods?
The peerless divine weapon is a symbol of the world's great fortune and is also the weapon in the hands of the saints. Only the true sub-saints can refine the peerless divine weapon. At the beginning, each of the Five Emperors refined one, and the Buddha and the Taoist Master only refined two each. For saints, these are things that they can only be encountered by chance.

But this person who was born, before attaining enlightenment, already held the embryos of three peerless magic weapons. If the three peerless magic weapons were perfected, and he held the three great fortunes of the world, and the world, heaven, and immortals merged, who could stop his path?
Thinking of this, even as the person who had the most confidence in and was the most loyal to the Emperor of Great Xia, he could only smile bitterly in his heart.

The Queen was silent for a while before she said, "It's my fault. I didn't expect that the Hundred Lights in his hands could actually become the embryo of a peerless divine weapon."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Queen, don't blame yourself. Although the Hundred Lanterns are just the beginning, the method of the Five Immortals' achievement is the key. Moreover, even if the Queen hadn't given the Hundred Lanterns, it would be easy for him to gather the Hundred Lanterns with his methods."

Ke Anran, who had just felt a small joy from suppressing Dong Xingshu a month ago, was completely crushed. He said with a sigh, "The Master walks, the Master runs, the Master gallops; the Master runs away, and the Master is far behind."

This is a dialogue between the Confucian Yan Hui and Confucius, but it is recorded in the Taoist classic "Zhuangzi". It is really appropriate to use it here to describe it.

In Ke Anran's eyes, Zhou Tieyi could only be described as dumbfounded.

He finally felt the pressure Dong Xingshu felt when facing Zhou Tieyi. It was not because of how powerful Zhou Tieyi was, but because Zhou Tieyi's changes were mysterious.

Every step he took was uniting more people in the world, and every step he was discovering and solving new problems. Even himself, the Queen Mother and the Emperor, who were already the three smartest people in the world, followed him closely. He changed the God-Slaying Bureau and established a newspaper, and Ke Anran took over the newspaper affairs. He changed the currency and established a bank, and the Queen Mother took over the bank affairs. Now that Zhou Tieyi changed the farm and established the Five Immortals Avenue, who else could take it over?
This does not include Zhou Tieyi's Mohist and Gongshujia reforms, as well as local steel, water transport, railway and air transport reforms. The wisdom of one person is like the wisdom of millions of people, which is immeasurable and incomparable. Even if one tries hard to catch up with him, one can still only look up to him.

After hearing what Ke Anran said, the Emperor of Daxia was silent for a while. Just as Ke Anran said, even if they followed closely, who in the world could carry on Zhou Tieyi's Five Immortal Avenue?
It’s not that Daxia is without useful people, but there are only one or two people who can inherit the holy way in the entire world in two thousand years.

But he was the ruler of the world after all, and he suddenly laughed and said, "Those who reform may not necessarily enjoy the fruits of victory."

The Queen, Ke Anran, and Su Xibi all turned to look at the Great Xia Emperor, only to see that the Lord of the World had a smile on his face again. Ke Anran hesitated for a moment and asked, "Your Majesty, what you said seems..."

He was considering the choice of words, because the word usage of this sentence was very novel. Although vernacular Chinese has been widely used in the world, the only person who would say this sentence should be Zhou Tieyi.

"It's like what he said, isn't it?"

The Great Xia Emperor didn't care at all. He asked with a smile, then looked in the direction of Taiyi Temple and said, "He always likes to unite the most people when he comes up with something new. He never eats alone. What good things do you think he will come up with this time to satisfy my appetite, so that I want to show my teeth and claws, but can't do it?"

Ke Anran followed the words of His Majesty the Great Xia, and thought about the relationship between His Majesty the Great Xia and Zhou Tieyi, which was neither an enemy nor a friend. He let out a breath and said one word, "Feed the tiger."

As the saying goes, serving the king is like serving a tiger. The power of life and death of ministers is in the hands of the king, and power is the king's food. If the king is hungry one day, he will devour the ministers who seem to have tremendous power.

Therefore, the power of the king is unpredictable, like a tiger always ready to hunt.

But no one has ever been able to use power to fill the king like Zhou Tieyi is doing now, so that the king, the most ferocious tiger in the world, needs time to digest the "meat" thrown by Zhou Tieyi. This well-fed tiger naturally does not have the extreme desire to attack with one strike. When the tiger is full and takes a nap and reacts, Zhou Tieyi, the feeder of the tiger, is no longer a weak minister. Even Zhou Tieyi's power does not come from the Great Xia Emperor. He is also a beast in the world, but a "tiger" who can farm and feed other beasts. He drove the Great Xia Emperor, this tiger, into the cage silently, but the cage is full of food and drink, so that the Great Xia Emperor, this tiger, is hesitant and has no idea of ​​fighting to the death immediately...

Thinking of this, Ke Anran's expression became more and more strange. This idea was already deceiving the emperor, but it could well explain the current situation.

The Zhou family uses "Tiger" as their name, but Zhou Tieyi is the one who feeds the tiger.

No matter how ferocious a tiger is, can it be more ferocious than the person who feeds it?
While the king, the queen and the minister were discussing in the imperial study, the great tripod that spanned the long river of history continued to evolve. With the lights of hundreds of families, it presented prosperous human families, and these human families did not stop expanding.

At the foot of Fuyao Mountain, Taoist Lan Cang, who had just achieved the status of Earthly Immortal, had the idea of ​​opening the door to convenience. In recent months, anyone who came to him to seek the way to become an Earthly Immortal, would be taught wholeheartedly after he distinguished between good and evil. This was also in line with the kindness of Zhou Tieyi who had taught him the method at that time.

Unfortunately, as he had just become an earthly immortal, he had not yet been able to completely leave his fiefdom, and could not go to Taiyi Temple to listen to lectures.

At this time, the great cauldron stood across the long river of history, and human immortals had evolved to their extreme, which was naturally the way of earthly immortals. However, earthly immortals already had their own Taoist traditions, and could actively integrate their own great ways into other Taoist traditions.

At this time, even though thousands of miles of mountains and rivers separated them, Taoist Lan Cang felt extremely happy in his heart, and his baby-like body clapped his hands in applause, "So this is how the methods of earthly immortals evolved. Thank you, Master, for your teachings."

Then an illusory long river of Taoism leaped from his body and merged with the big cauldron. Behind the scene of a home with bells and drums and people living and working in peace and contentment, a fertile land was opened up. Within the fertile land, grass and trees grew, the lake was clear, and the place was full of vitality. This is the way of the earth immortals to replenish the earth.

With the Taoist Lan Cang, the first practitioner of the Earthly Immortals, as an introduction, the big cauldron turned increasingly real. The body of the cauldron showed pure white, which symbolizes ghost immortals, scarlet red, which symbolizes human immortals, and muddy yellow, which symbolizes earthly immortals. The three principles were intertwined and gathered in Zhou Tieyi's hands, intending to deduce it further above the Earthly Immortals.

"Those above earthly immortals are called divine immortals."

Zhou Tieyi's great Dao sounded, with the help of a thousand acres of thunderclouds as a drum, and the sound could be heard over three thousand miles away.

"This is a big fallacy!"

The streams of light transformed into celestial phenomena, some were brilliant morning glow, the red clouds of heavenly essence, some were extremely ethereal, the mysterious and ethereal qi, some were full of vitality, the azure spirit of the dark old age...

One by one, Taoist third-grade masters came from the direction of Xuandu Mountain with clouds all over the sky. They transformed themselves into innate ancestral qi, and could travel hundreds of miles in the rolling clouds. Their methods were much more advanced than those of ghosts and immortals who could break through the air.

Originally, the old Taoists of Xuandu Mountain were planning to embarrass Zhou Tieyi in their base camp to let him know that the Luotian Grand Ceremony was not so easy to handle.

However, Zhou Tieyi did not go to Xuandu Mountain to preach first, but preached in Taiyi Temple, which was someone else's ancestral temple. Even if Xuandu Mountain was more domineering, it would not dare to risk the world's condemnation and go to someone else's Taoist temple to stop preaching. This was a taboo in Taoism.

Zhou Tieyi first integrated the ghost immortals, which was beyond everyone's expectations. Ghost immortals have a long lifespan. Although there are various inconveniences, the number of ghost immortals hidden in the world may exceed everyone's expectations. In just half a day, nearly a thousand people came to listen to the lectures. This was already the sign of establishing a new Taoist ancestral temple.

Now that the words of the gods and immortals have been spoken, not only will the way of earthly immortals be introduced again, allowing the way of earthly immortals to have a step forward and truly compete with the way of the Taoist ancestor's celestial phenomena, what's more, the merging of gods and immortals has been done before. The Tianyi Taoist lineage wanted to control the gods with the Tao, which eventually led to a huge disaster and even caused the Taoists to lose control of the Heavenly Palace.

At this time, the old Taoists in Xuandu Mountain would naturally not allow Zhou Tieyi to mention this method again.

The clouds in the sky gathered at Taiyi Mountain, forming a sharp contrast with the inky thunder in the sky and the flowing stars. However, even the ancestral qi of heaven and earth transformed by Taoism was blocked outside the Xuanpin Gate and could not enter easily.

When the Taoist clouds came one after another, Zhou Tieyi didn't care at all and continued to preach, "The earth immortals have worked hard and their merits are perfect. The five qi converge to the origin, the three flowers gather at the top of the head, and the fetal immortal is born. There is a spirit inside the body and a body outside the body. They break free from the shackles and break the golden locks. The spirit replaces the body. They have perfected the earth and their merits are transcendent. At this point, they are no longer fixed to the earth, but ascend to the sky. From then on, they can live freely in heaven or on earth. This is the Daluo immortal."

Many ghosts and immortals listened with fascination, and saw that at the top of the flowing galaxy, the figure of the Taoist under the sun was becoming more and more majestic. His form dissipated, and in each acupoint, a spirit suddenly appeared. This was the footsteps that Miaoyu helped Zhou Tieyi to hide on New Year's Day, and it was now clearly revealed.

In that spirituality, many innate gods were born. When the gods were born, they exercised Zhou Tieyi's power as earthly immortals. They also combed the mountains and rivers and guarded the earth. However, Zhou Tieyi was able to ascend to heaven and transform, no longer bound by his original duties. That's why it is called having a god inside and an incarnation outside the body. He broke free from the shackles of earthly immortals, replaced his body with a god, perfected the earth, and ascended to Daluo.
