Da Zaojun

The ten golden crows all cawed and sang wildly, circling around Song Wuji.

Song Wuji recalled his initial awakening: the three treasures of man are essence, energy, and spirit; the three treasures of earth are water, fire, and wind.

Now that we have arrived at the Heavenly Palace, how can we not awaken the Three Treasures of Heaven: the Sun, the Moon, and the Stars?

When Heaven, Earth, and Man are all present, one possesses the potential to accomplish great things.

Thinking of this, Song Wuji examined himself and found that one of his supernatural powers was incomplete. It was something he had obtained by consuming the [Qionghua], and it was called [Bathing in the Three Lights], which allowed him to absorb the light of the sun, moon, and stars to grow.

They immediately took the initiative to kill a large number of fire crows, collecting their inner cores and true feathers.

Using fire to refine fire and following the supernatural power of ingestion, he ate the inner core of the fire crow as if it were a snack or candy.

These fire crows were numerous and born from the fire poison of the sun, making them quite formidable. However, Song Wuji was born of the fire element, and his ten little golden crows became his adoptive fathers. They were trained by the Bird and Beast Taming Technique and became very obedient, making them all easily defeated.

After consuming the various inner elixirs, Song Wuji's essence, qi, and spirit rapidly increased. He then used the excess to gather fuel for the fire, bestowing it upon ten little golden crows. The little golden crows, sensing the growth of their vital essence without being contaminated by the fire poison, became even more devoted to and delighted with Song Wuji.

Song Wuji then simply bestowed upon them the talent of [consuming food].

The little golden crows immediately became excited. The first thing they ate was their own eggshells. They couldn't digest them before, but now they ate them up like cookies, finding them crunchy.

Golden crow feathers have also grown on its body, no longer resembling its initial appearance when it was first born.

The golden crow is born with the ability to bathe the sun.

At this moment, in the secret realm, the flames were treated as a hot spring, emitting a comfortable, gurgling sound.

At the same time, the [Beast Taming] divine power returned to nourish the user, revealing that this divine power could feed back the same talent of taming beasts to the user.

All ten little golden crows possess the talent of [Bathing in the Sun]. Each one contributes a little, thus fully enriching the entire talent.

It aligns with the incomplete supernatural power [Bathing in the Three Lights] that Song Wuji had previously cultivated.

Instantly, the Vermilion Bird, which Song Wuji had transformed into, gained a ring of sun behind its head.

At the same time, the Kitchen God's talents are activated.

The Three Treasures of Heaven: Sun, Moon, and Stars: Cultivate the authority of celestial phenomena, gain blessings, and automatically acquire the ranks of [Star Lord] and [Celestial God].

Talent: [Sunbathing] is activated.

Talent: [Moon-Embracing] Not activated.

Talent: [Star Picking] Not activated.

Once the Three Treasures of Heaven are activated, they can be used to create the Three Lights Divine Water and automatically comprehend the great supernatural power [Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations], serving as the pivot of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Obtaining the Nine Treasures of Heaven, Earth, and Man means reaching the threshold for comprehending [Manipulating Heaven and Earth], [Mending the Sky and Bathing the Sun], [Returning Heaven and Returning to the Sun], [Reversing Yin and Yang], and [Manipulating Creation].

Sunlight Divine Water: Eliminates blood essence and bone flesh

Moonlight Divine Water: Corrodes the Primordial Spirit and Soul
Starlight Divine Water: Dissolves True Spiritual Consciousness

The Three Lights Divine Water: It harmonizes the three lights—sun, moon, and stars—and recreates the essence, energy, and spirit of the three treasures. It defies the principles of acquired nature and creates innate qualities.

The contents of the Eight Treasures Glazed Bottle of the Primordial Celestial Venerable were used by Nuwa to create humans, and by Guanyin to revive trees. The immortal sects of the Three Islands and Ten Continents all owe their longevity to this.

Song Wuji sensed that he had activated his Sun Bathing Talent and mastered the method of making [Sunlight Divine Water]. Although the divine water used by the Golden Crow for bathing is a poison for the body, it is also a mysterious treasure for reshaping the physical body and Dao body.

However, Song Wuji had no clue how to activate the talents of "Reaching for the Moon" and "Plucking Stars".

Do we really have to pluck a star and grasp the moon?

Even this Sun-Bathing Divine Power was given to him by the Little Golden Crow. Song Wuji thought to himself: In the future, I can eat more spiritual roots and immortal roots from the Immortal Realm.

While in the Moon Palace, Song Wuji picked a lot of Taiyin cassia fruits, leaves, and bark, but he did not consume them; he only used them as spices.

Upon seeing this hibiscus tree, I immediately picked some mulberries and ate them directly, but I didn't feel anything. It seems that my talent has already overlapped with that of [Sunbathing].

The little golden crows, sensing Song Wuji's changes, all took flight. In their eyes, Song Wuji was originally the sun god incarnate with the virtue of fire, and now that he had acquired the talent of bathing in the sun, it felt as if they were of the same bloodline.

Only Song Wuji understood that this was the Vermilion Bird, representing the Li trigram, which was transformed from the essence of the innate fire of Li. The Li trigram is the sun in the sky, and it is also a symbol of fire.

Having acquired the talent of "Bathing in the Sun," Song Wuji was even more in line with the "Li Hexagram," the Vermilion Bird, and the Fire Virtue.

[The Great Possession of Heaven]
Song Wuji immediately understood that this was the blessing power of the Vermilion Bird, an auspicious and divine beast.

The Vermilion Bird itself symbolizes great gain and prosperity for all things. Fire in the sky shines brightly, and all things flourish.

At the same time, Song Wuji, whose virtue was in harmony with the sun, faintly sensed a solar authority gathering around him.

The spirit of the sun is calling to itself.

The section about the sun in the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array was fully opened to Song Wuji.

Song Wuji sensed the Zhou Tian Star Array and manipulated the power of chaos, imitating the creation of heaven and earth. He first opened up the chaotic energy and transformed it into yin and yang energies, then the yin embraced the yang, and the sun embraced the yin, thus forming the four symbols.

The four symbols are the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise. These correspond to Kan, Li, Zhen, and Xun.

Drawing water from Kan and filling fire from Li creates Qian and Kun.

When Heaven and Earth unite in harmony, it is called creation, and creation can be used to increase the origin of the world.

The Taiyin, Taiyang, and the Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Mansions form the core of the Zhou Tian Star Array.

Other stars include the Southern Dipper, the Northern Dipper, and the Five Stars, which serve as auxiliary stars.

Therefore, the sun is the master of the stars, and the moon is the mother of the stars.

However, in mythology, the lord of all stars is Ziwei, and the mother of all stars is Doumu Yuanjun.

It does not conform to the principles of the celestial sphere.

The subsequent Zhou Tian Star Array also operates around the Ziwei Three Enclosures, with the Southern Dipper and Northern Dipper representing civil and military affairs, seizing power over the sun and moon.

However, Ziwei is revered because of the Ziwei Emperor. Without the Ziwei Emperor, it would be difficult to preside over the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array.

If the Sun and Moon are changed to be the core, the Zhou Tian Star Array can operate automatically for a period of time without the need for star gods to train it, without any problems.

"If we can change the layout of the Zhou Tian Star Array and move the central point from the Zi Wei Three Enclosures to the Sun and Moon, the Zhou Tian Star Array can operate again. It will not accumulate Yin and Yang energy on the Taiyin and Taiyang stars, but will instead transform into various innate energies..."

These innate energies were originally intercepted by various professions, deities, and ancestors, transformed into creation, and used to nourish themselves in order to attain the Dao.

From this perspective, it is indeed a bit excessive; 90% belongs to others, and only 10% belongs to the world.

If it were split 30/70, they wouldn't have gone this far.

Whether the entire Zhou Tian Star Array is presided over by the Sun and Moon or by the Three Palaces of Ziwei, it is precisely the point of contention between the Heavenly Dao of this world and the immortal and divine civilization of that eternal world.

When the Yin and Yang govern, they can nurture all living beings and enlighten a large number of naturally born deities in this world.

When the Ziwei Star is in charge, priority is given to supporting and elevating the Star Gods, the Heavenly Court positions, and the Underworld positions. There will be no opportunity for the birth of innate deities in this realm.
