Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 368 Phoenix Promotion
"This Master seems to have something here?" Old Bear pouted at Master Huanglong, then pointed at his own head.

Phoenix shook her head slightly and said, "Don't talk nonsense. I'm just unlucky."

Although Huang Long was always unlucky, nothing serious had ever happened to him. Yu Ding had been healthy and free from disaster for many years, but he died suddenly. It is sometimes really hard to tell whether it is a blessing or a disaster.

Huanglong Zhenren was seriously injured, so Jiang Ziya escorted him back to Xiqi to recuperate.

Yang Jian carried his master's body on his back, preparing to take it back for burial.

No matter what, the blood feud between his father, mother and elder brother has been settled in a muddled way, and now he wants to avenge his master!
You can't just rush into revenge without thinking.

A True Immortal who wasn't even at the lowest Xuanxian level in the Xuan Sect was going to fight a Quasi-Sage? That was a joke.

Thanks to the sacrifice of his master, his mind is now clear, and he has found the answers to many mysterious methods that he could not figure out before. He has broken through the bottleneck from True Immortal to Profound Immortal. He will go back and retreat for a period of time. When his body and soul are adjusted to the best condition, he can try to break through.

The cost of this breakthrough was a bit high, but for many immortals, this is the norm.

What is it that refines the heart in this worldly world?

It would be a freak to be like Wen Zhong, who practiced for fifty years and didn't leave after finishing his practice.

The phoenix gestured to Yang Jian to let him take a step back to talk.

She spoke slowly, "Fellow Daoist Yang, the case of your father and mother has now been thoroughly investigated. Initially, it was Immortal Fu Yuan who arbitrarily altered the red thread in Yue Lao Temple, allowing your mother and father to become connected. Later, Taoist Mosquito coveted your master's Immortal Slaying Sword and secretly manipulated the celestial generals in an attempt to sow discord between the Heavenly Court and the Chan Sect. This concludes the case. Does Fellow Daoist have anything else to add?"

Yang Jian's face was as gloomy as water. You have closed the case, what else can I add?
Tired, that's it.

Phoenix continued, "Your mother is Fairy Yunhua of the Heavenly Court, the biological sister of Lord Haotian. According to the rules of heaven, you can have a son ascend to heaven and serve as an official."

Yang Jian stiffened his neck and made a final insistence: "I will not accept his official position."

Fenghuang feels that a lowly official like me has to mediate your family disputes? It's exhausting!

She took out a small notebook.

It is said that immortal magic changes life. Nowadays, many daily necessities have been refined by Deng Chanyu. Her little notebook records various enemies and causes and effects. Some have been "returned" and some have not yet been "returned".

She also records a lot of miscellaneous things in her little notebook.

The Han Kingdom was a normal feudal society, but the Shu region under Deng Chanyu's charge was a very strange offline monarchy system.

Sometimes when something big happened in Shu that needed her attention, the officials below would burn the memorials for her to see if they couldn't find her in person.

She can receive various information in real time on her little notebook.

Take a look at this time.

"There's a dragon stirring up trouble in the Min River in Shu. If you're interested, you can go and eliminate it. I'm sure the local people will build a temple for you and give you a revered title. You don't need the Emperor of Heaven to appoint you; you can ascend to heaven and serve as an official through the faith of the people."

Yang Jian did not refuse this method. It was a good idea for both face and money. Fighting the dragon for Shu was not a difficult task for him. He could do it easily when the time came.

The immortals left the sea of ​​blood one after another.

Outside Xiqi City, Yang Jian and Jiang Ziya said goodbye.

"Thank you, Uncle Jiang, for your care over the past few years. Yang Jian wishes to avenge his master and will temporarily leave the barracks. I beg for your forgiveness, Uncle Jiang."

He had already stepped halfway out of the Conferred God Tribulation, so there was no need to fight to the death in Xiqi. The most important thing now was to return to the mountains for seclusion and then avenge Jade Ding Zhenren. "Temporary departure" was just a nice word; in reality, it was doubtful whether they would ever see each other again. Jiang Ziya felt bitter. He had finally found a capable nephew willing to assist him, but now this nephew was abandoning him. His situation was really difficult.

He couldn't say anything yet. Revenge for the master was a natural thing to do. He just said a few words of encouragement and a few words to take care.

"Don't worry, nephew will go on his own. If it weren't for the heavy responsibility of the Conferred God, this old Jiang would also want to avenge Senior Brother Yu Ding."

Yang Jian brought the body of Jade Ding Zhenren back to Jinxia Cave in Yuquan Mountain.

After burying his master with the boy, he began to retreat and strive to reach the realm of Xuanxian.

the other side.

The phoenix returned to heaven to report the order and went to Tushita Palace to return the palm-leaf fan.

The Yang family murder case has been investigated thoroughly at this point. The main culprit is Taoist Mosquito and the second culprit is Fu Yuan.

Haotian was very satisfied with the result.

Fenghuang returned to heaven in the morning, wrote a "report" at noon, and in the afternoon Fu Yuan was taken to the beheading platform. With a "click", his body and soul were destroyed, and he was not even given the chance to reincarnate.

The Heavenly Court has also put a bounty on the head of Taoist Mosquito. Anyone who can catch or kill him can come to the Heavenly Court to receive a reward.

Fenghuang guessed that this was prepared for Yang Jian, so that he could be promoted at the same time, and no one would be able to say anything.

She made a great contribution this time and was promoted.

Officials like her who are in heaven in the flesh can only rise step by step, which is completely different from the system of the Investiture of the Gods where one can move up in one step.

She is not qualified to be one of the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, or the Ten Direction Heavenly Lords.

After receiving the imperial edict and expressing gratitude, her new official title became [Water Department's Chief God Beidou Five Qi Water Virtue Chenxing Shichen Star Lord] abbreviated as Water Virtue Star Lord.

They are still star gods, but the Water Deity Star God and the Liuhe Star God are completely different concepts.

Theoretically, all the rivers, lakes, and seas in the world, as well as the Milky Way in the sky, are under her jurisdiction. In reality, it is just like the underworld. The Heavenly Court, Taoism, and Buddhism all have jurisdiction. You can manage it, and I can manage it too. Who is in charge depends on who has the stronger fist and who has the stronger background.

The difference between Shuide and Liuhe is that Shuide now has a "birthday". People believe that the 16th day of the first lunar month is her birthday. On this day, they offer sacrifices to her and pray for a year of good weather and harvest.

She can enjoy some incense, which can be accumulated to increase her blessings, and can also be used normally to improve her cultivation.

The Shinto way focuses on incense and cultivation is secondary, while the immortal way focuses on self-cultivation and incense is secondary.

Of course, that's how faith works in this vast land. If you, the god, do the work, I'll believe in you. If you don't, then I'll believe in another god.

The Water Deity Star Lord has a wide range of powers and his status is completely different from that of ordinary star gods.

According to the traditional Taoist "administrative hierarchy" of Emperor, Dao Lord, Zhen Lord, and Xing Lord, she is still a Xing Lord in name, but the gods with lower status than her must now call her "Zhen Lord", on the same level as Yang Jian's final "Qingyuan Miaodao Zhen Lord".

If you call her Star Lord, you are looking down on her!
According to the saying that "male immortals are called Zhenren and female immortals are called Yuanjun", it is acceptable to call her "Yuanjun".

However, Phoenix still prefers to be called "True Lord", which is more formal.
