From the Carp that Brings Children to the Celestial Officials

Chapter 408 Spreading the Dao in the World
You Ming kept raising his willpower to 21 points.

With the help of the "Cessation of Thoughts and Flow of Observation," he can increase the flow of time by up to 365 times, which means that one day in the outside world is equivalent to one year in the Yellow Millet World.

Although You Ming hasn't figured out what he can do with this Yellow Millet World yet, the amount of incense he's obtained is already terrifying enough.

It should be noted that in the same amount of time, the total amount of incense burned in this "Yellow Millet World" was four or five times that of Yuanling County.

With the flow of time now increased by 365 times, the total amount of incense offerings is naturally even more terrifying.

However, these incense smokers dare not absorb the offerings on a large scale yet.

Because this world does not have a complete system of deities, this means that there are a huge amount of impurities in these offerings.

Just as in the early stages of the divine way in the real world, when the gods used incense with impurities, it would distort their personalities.

After all, all beings have selfish desires, and their prayers often contain their own wants. Once these desires become too numerous, even the gods will be swept up and forced to become what beings imagine them to be.

"To solve this problem, you need to obtain a divine authority."

As his cultivation improved day by day, even though he had increased the speed of his consciousness time by more than three hundred times, he still had the energy to think about other things.

Shinto has many powers, but for Shinto, this is almost the least valuable thing.

Take You Ming himself as an example; he can freely bestow titles upon many eighth- and ninth-rank deities.

However, from another perspective, the authority of the gods is extremely precious. Each authority is limited and leaves a trace within the entire divine system.

If one truly steals authority, Shinto will discover it immediately and investigate at all costs.

The authority of the gods is also the foundation of the gods.

You Ming himself certainly has his own divine authority as the [Official in charge of procreation, preservation of life, and harmony of blessings], but this thing is connected to the entire divine system. If he were to use it to sort out a large number of incense offerings of unknown origin, he would probably be detected immediately.

He doesn't want to reveal his "world of illusions" yet.

"We'll ask Ao Jun when the time comes; perhaps the Dragon Clan has some methods that are independent of the divine path."

You Ming didn't have any immediate need to use a large amount of incense offerings, so he temporarily put the issue aside.

"I have not yet become an immortal, yet I have the opportunity to obtain such a small world that belongs only to me. It would be a real pity not to use it to spread teachings."

"All the paths in the world spread out like roots and branches."

"Although my own way has not yet taken shape, I should follow the example of the sages, using my own method as a foundation to spread teachings and develop its branches and leaves."

"Ultimately, I combined the many branches into one, forming my own way."

You Ming knew that among all the martial arts techniques in the world today, they were divided into five categories: [Dao], [Jing], [Dian], [Ce], and [Fa].

The so-called "Dao" is the method personally taught and evolved by the Dao Masters. Those who can learn the "Dao" level are basically at the Golden Immortal level, and at the very least, they must be at the Celestial Immortal level.

The scriptures, on the other hand, are the evolution of the Dao. Although they are not the fundamental mysteries, they are the most brilliant and fruitful fruits among all the Daos.

As for the next level down, they differentiate in sequence.

The Nine Great Daoist Gates of the Celestial Realm also have this structure. The worlds inhabited by the various Dao Lords are the foundation, with countless branches and lineages spreading out like branches and leaves, densely surrounding the worlds of the Dao Lords.

The closer a sect is to the core, the closer its lineage is to the Dao of the Dao Master.

You Ming is currently only practicing the [Classic] level method. He can pass on his method, either by teaching it to his true disciples or by modifying and adding to it, and by teaching it to many unorthodox methods, so that people all over the world can practice his method.

And these people's insights into the Dharma will ultimately benefit him, aiding his spiritual practice.

After all, one person's understanding is ultimately limited, and the further we go, the more we need to gather the strength of all beings.

“However, in order to gather the cultivation power of all living beings, we must have spiritual energy, and the Yellow Millet World is most lacking in spiritual energy.” You Ming fell into thought.

He had successfully cultivated before, meaning that cultivation wasn't restricted at the level of the laws. If that's the case, unless he adds a new law that allows cultivation, probably no one can do anything about it.

If people in the Yellow Millet World want to cultivate, they need to replenish the spiritual energy of this world.

Thinking of this, the image that came to his mind was the Azure Divine Tree.

The Azure Divine Tree truly lives up to its reputation as one of the four ancient divine trees, capable of extending its roots into the void to directly synthesize spiritual energy and nourish the world.

Now that the Azure Divine Tree in his Azure Cave Heaven has grown to a considerable size, perhaps he can transplant a section of it to slowly add some spiritual energy to this illusory world.

You Ming was very patient with the Yellow Millet World, even if the growth of spiritual energy was a little slow, it didn't matter.

With his 365-fold acceleration, the increase in spiritual energy would be considerable if we waited a few more years.

Thinking of this, his figure suddenly flickered and disappeared into the distance, only to reappear a moment later.

At the same time, a glistening branch appeared in his palm.

The branch was not thick, only about a foot long, but it was as translucent as jade, with a faint emerald light flowing through it. The spiritual patterns on its surface floated on their own, as if breathing, in sync with the pulse of heaven and earth.

It was a branch of the Azure Divine Tree.

Now that his strength has increased, he can use the [Transformation at Will] supernatural power more skillfully. Even though [Yuanling Mountain] is tens of thousands of miles away, he can travel between them in the blink of an eye.

You Ming reached out and swiped his hand across the paper. Countless runes flashed by, and the radiance on the entire branch instantly disappeared, appearing as ordinary numerical values.

He slowly planted it into the soil of the Yellow Millet World.

In an instant, the heavens and earth trembled.

It was as if a strong wind had suddenly swept through the entire Yellow Millet World, and everyone felt an invisible pressure bearing down on them.

The moment the branch fell, it was as if a law leading to a higher dimension was directly nailed into this world.

The Azure Divine Tree began to grow instinctively, its roots emerging from the soil like serpents and extending continuously into the ground.

However, after only one breath, the world of illusion began to rumble with a low rumble.

"Kakakaka."

Everything around was shattered like a broken mirror, and the cracks stretched for hundreds of miles and were expanding at an extremely fast speed.

Wherever the cracks reached, the river twisted and turned, like a scroll being crumpled. The illusory images of cities and towns flickered between reality and illusion, vanishing like smoke in an instant.

The laughter of countless mortals was shattered in an instant; temple bells and drums, fishing, woodcutting, farming, and reading all turned into fragments of light and disintegrated with the wind.

You Ming was startled and immediately pulled out the Azure Divine Wood. At the same time, a [Mirage] appeared behind him.

The misty mirage flowed, swiftly repairing all the damage; the shattered cities and destroyed mountains were restored in an instant.

He cannot bring the dead back to life; he can only reincarnate them.

In the extremely short time it took for the Azure Divine Tree to tear through the void, the number of humans who died in the Yellow Millet World reached 300,000.

"The Azure Divine Tree is too high in status. Before it can absorb spiritual energy from the void, it will destroy the world."

You Ming frowned, not expecting to be stumped at this hurdle.
