Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 41 Going down the mountain
The four sea dragon kings gathered together to discuss the unfortunate events that happened to the Jinghe Dragon King.

It's almost like the story of a rabbit dying and a fox mourning over his loss. King Zhou said, "The Dragon King of the Jing River was disrespectful to him," and then without a second thought, he sent Ji Chang to kill the Dragon King of the Jing River. That's it? You could at least make up a plausible excuse! We are the Dragon King, not some shrewd general. You can kill us just like that. Don't we have any dignity left?
The Four Dragon Kings shouted loudly, but actually they did not dare to confront King Zhou head-on. The Dragon King of the West Sea did not dare to say that a saint was involved in this matter. He was afraid that after he finished speaking, the three Dragon Kings would tie him up and take him to the saint to seek credit. No matter what the other three Dragon Kings said, he would just say "Ah, yes, yes, yes".

Finally, the Four Dragon Kings presented the memorial to the Heavenly Court and handed it to Haotian for judgment. We, the dragon clan, brought our families to seek refuge in the Heavenly Court, and worked diligently every day. Even farting required approval from the Heavenly Court. Now we are being bullied by humans like this. Boss, you have to stand up for us!

Haotian felt very embarrassed.

Through the Haotian Mirror, he has seen the cause and effect clearly.

This seems to be just an order from King Zhou, a trivial matter, but in fact it is very complicated!
It includes the grievances between the Phoenix and Dragon clans since the creation of the world, the will of heaven to establish the Zhou Dynasty and destroy the Shang Dynasty, the struggle for national destiny between the Shang Dynasty and Xiqi, the disciples of Nuwa, the disciples of Yuanshi Tianzun, and the layout of the saints.

The water is too deep, even Haotian can't grasp it.

He could only try to smooth things over.

The source of this incident was the Dragon Girl of Dongting Lake. She was a soft persimmon and the easiest to deal with. Haotian waved his pen and sentenced her to fourteen years of exile. She was not allowed to return to the Dragon Palace of Dongting Lake during the exile period.

The Jinghe Dragon King is also responsible for his greed for power, but the Jinghe Dragon King is in such a miserable state. Among all his belongings, the most valuable thing is probably the clothes he is wearing now. Haotian took a mirror, racked his brains, studied it from many angles for a long time, but still didn't know how to punish him. In the end, he simply fined him ten years.

The dragon clan can punish, but King Zhou and Ji Chang of the mortal world cannot. If he dares to send down a thunderbolt from heaven to strike King Zhou to death, a purple thunderbolt will be sent down from thirty-three days away to strike him to death in a breath.

Going to punish Deng Chanyu? Nuwa's red hydrangea can also hit people.

A top-tier Quasi-Saint like Haotian looked upon Juliusun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and Deng Chanyu, who had just entered the Dao, as if there was no difference at all. If he wanted to attack, it would be a one-stroke deal. It was likely that Nuwa saw the same thing from him and Deng Chanyu, too; it would be a one-stroke deal.
Anything involving a saint is a big deal. This time, the Jinghe Dragon King incident involves Deng Chanyu and Ju Liusun, so it is really difficult to deal with.

Haotian racked his brains to think of a way to show the majesty of heaven without hurting the reputation of the saint. He called his confidant Taibai Jinxing, and the king and his ministers discussed it. Then he sent Taibai Jinxing to the Wahuang Palace first, and then to the Yuxu Palace.

Lishan.

"That's almost it, let's get started."

All in all, it took Deng Chanyu almost two weeks to refine the Cuiguang Liangyi Lamp. The mark of Taiyi was still there, but the Liangyi Lamp no longer rejected her.

She made a hand gesture and her body turned into five-colored stream of light, instantly drilling into the wick.

The Qingyang True Fire protected her from being burned by the Great Sun Golden Flame, and soon, she came to the world inside the Cuiguang Liangyi Lamp.

According to the Old Mother of Mount Li, the Cuiguang Liangyi Lamp has been refined by Donghuang Taiyi for many years. Like many innate spiritual treasures, there is also a vast world inside the lamp.

Now this world is in extreme ruins and there is no living creature. She entered the world inside the lamp and looked around, but there was no chance of finding something good. Donghuang Taiyi did not even leave the Chaos Bell inside the lamp.

There was nothing else except poor mountains and bad water, so she found a towering mountain, sat cross-legged, and began to practice.

The Cuiguang Liangyi Lamp has the power to differentiate yin and yang. While it might seem useless at first, it's actually incredibly useful. Refining yin and yang is fundamental to cultivation. For a novice like Deng Chanyu, defining the three levels of "young" (young), "old" (young), and "young" (young) is incredibly difficult. How much is considered "old" and how much is "young" is entirely up to the cultivator.

There is less Yang energy today and more Yin energy tomorrow. I can’t tell the difference here, and it will be even more chaotic to transform the Bagua, and the effect of my practice will be greatly reduced.

Unlike the Cuiguang Liangyi Lamp, this lamp, as an innate spiritual lamp, is like a ruler, able to accurately divide the yin and yang according to the standard that best conforms to the way of heaven.

How to divide and how much to divide are all automatically determined by the spirit lamp, and Deng Chanyu does not need to worry about it, which saves her a lot of effort.

No matter how dilapidated the world inside the spirit lamp is, it is still a whole world, and all the spiritual energy here is absorbed by Deng Chanyu alone.

If a quasi-saint like Donghuang Taiyi were to absorb spiritual energy, this vast world would definitely not be able to handle it, and would have to absorb a large portion from the prehistoric world. Supporting Deng Chanyu wouldn't be a problem now; thousands or even tens of thousands of her could cultivate in the inner world of the lamp without any problem.

Because of the Phoenix clone, she now has no weaknesses and her upper limit is extremely high. All she has to do every day is absorb and exhale spiritual energy and temper her magic power.

As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death.

Her cultivation speed improved by leaps and bounds. One day of practice was equivalent to ten days of practice for others, and one month of practice was almost equivalent to one year of practice for a normal cultivator. She was so fast that even she was surprised.

Deng Chanyu had a heavy workload. After initiating the Huangting Sutra, she began to cultivate the fundamentals of the Lishan Old Mother lineage, the [Lishan Old Mother Mysterious Sutra], abbreviated as the [Mysterious Sutra]. This sutra would remain her primary source of cultivation until she reached the fifth level of the Avatar Transformation, the stage of Xuanxian's ascension to Jinxian.

She is not even a human immortal now, so this scripture will be enough for her to practice for a while.

"Cultivate the truth and refine the nature, transform the barbaric into the good, praise and criticize the good and the evil in the four seas and nine continents, and there will definitely be a spring and autumn.

The true way of immortality is not easy to come across and practice. If you want to forget your innate nature, it is bestowed upon you by heaven and earth, and sages have embodied it.”

While explaining the true meaning of the scripture, the Lishan Old Mother suddenly paused. Deng Chanyu gave her a puzzled look, and the old mother raised her hands and said, "No problem, let's continue."

This lecture will last for three days.

This sutra is profound and extensive. Without anyone to explain it, one cannot understand it even if one reads the text for a hundred years. Even so, Deng Chanyu only understood the general idea. The mysterious sutra involves a very small part of the way of life and creation. This is the real way, which she cannot understand at all. She can only rely on the super-strong spiritual consciousness that far exceeds her own level to memorize all the details of her mother's lecture, and then slowly figure it out.

After my mother finished her lecture this time, she did not leave immediately, but sat on the jade throne and closed her eyes to rest.

After Deng Chanyu sorted out the contents of the sutra in her mind, her mother slowly spoke.

"Today, Yuan Futong, a demon from the North Sea, is leading seventy-two vassal states in rebellion. The Shang Dynasty has dispatched Wen Zhong, a disciple of the Jiejiao sect, to quell the rebellion. The human race should rise, and the demon race should be destroyed. Since you are a human and my disciple, you may serve the army for one year, after which you can return to Mount Li to cultivate."
