Investiture of the Gods: I am Bigan, the Master of Conspiracy

Chapter 150 A Flower Blooms with Nine Grades, Astounding the Three Realms!
Unexpectedly, Confucius was able to obtain such great fortune. At this time, the Antarctic Immortal who preached Confucius was also blessed with good fortune and merit. As a result, good fortune appeared above his head, and he directly severed his corpse and became a quasi-saint.

At this moment, the Antarctic Immortal almost burst into tears.

When he was teaching Ji Chang, he should have been able to dismember the corpse himself.

Unfortunately, when Ji Chang was developing the sixty-four hexagrams, Yin Ziyu stole the show, ultimately making Ji Chang's performance seem like a farce.

He was supposed to execute the corpse while plotting to rule the East Sea, but due to Yin Ziyu's scheme, he slunk back to Kunlun Mountain.

This time, his master once again granted him a great opportunity, allowing him to seize the opportunity to sever his corpse and become the second Quasi-Saint of the Chan Sect.

We've waited too long for this moment.

In the present primordial world, the Human Sect has one Quasi-Saint, but he has already reached the Second Corpse stage; the Intercepting Sect has two; the Chan Sect has two; and the Western Sect has one.

This Investiture of the Gods left the Chan Sect in a very embarrassing situation, and even the Primordial Heavenly Lord lost face.

Now that the Antarctic Immortal has finally achieved the status of a Quasi-Saint, the Primordial Celestial Venerable can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Guang Chengzi had too many opportunities, even being the teacher of the Human Emperor, but in the end, he was forcibly pushed to the quasi-saint level by the fortune of the Chan Sect. Otherwise, the leader of the Chan Sect wouldn't even be a quasi-saint, which would be awkward.

Following Confucius and Guang Chengzi's initial planning for the future of the nation, Mozi also established the Mohist school.

At this time, the five schools of thought that flourished most were the Heavenly Dao and the Daoist school of Taishang. However, the Daoist school of Taishang was a school of elites in the Three Realms and could not be popularized among the middle and lower classes. Only the superior students could hear the Dao.

The remaining four families have all begun to spread their teachings to all sentient beings in the Three Realms.

After Confucianism and Mohism established their respective schools of thought, Yang Zhu also established his own. Yang Zhu's teachings should belong to the Daoist school. However, since Laozi had already established the Daoist school, Yang Zhu could no longer do so.

The Jie Sect also belongs to the Dao, but it is ultimately different from Lao Tzu's Dao.

If the world's discourse either belongs to Yang or Mo, then its religion is named the Yang Religion.

At the Luoshui Temple, the Luoshui River suddenly surged and boiled, with thousands of fish leaping out of the water. The entire Luoshui River was the color of crystal, and the laws of the Great Dao flowed through it.

At this moment, Luo Shen had completely refined the Luo River and allowed countless causes and effects to be added to it.

Mi Fei stepped onto a bridge of light formed by the laws of cause and effect, and slowly walked from the Shenluo River.

Dressed in white, with her hair flowing in the wind and her clothes billowing, she was truly a woman of unparalleled beauty.

At this moment, three thousand disciples of the Heart Sect were already standing solemnly in the square in front of the temple.

The three thousand disciples of the School of Mind were all dressed in plain white robes, with rough red ropes wrapped around their wrists. When they saw the Goddess of the Luo River emerge from the Luo River, they all prostrated themselves in worship.

Mi Fei looked at Mount Ni and realized that Confucius had established his teachings, and that it was time for her to establish her own. Zi Yu had given her this great opportunity, and she had to seize it!

Immediately, Mi Fei established a teaching, following Yin Ziyu's instructions, to give life to all living beings, and those who comprehend it can go to the Great Shang.

"Heaven and earth have no boundaries; it is the human heart that imprisons itself!"

Mi Fei's voice was like a booming bell. With a wave of her wide sleeves, suddenly blue lotuses appeared, each lotus leaf displaying the illusion of people being bound by fame, fortune, and the constraints of social norms.

"The great Shang dynasty priest Bi Gan attained enlightenment through self-cultivation, breaking through the shackles of heaven and earth. Now, our Heart Teaching is founded on conscience, shattering the chains of humanity and guiding all beings to know their conscience. Heaven reigns supreme, and the Heart Teaching is established!"

Nine golden rays of light split open in the sky, and Yin Ziyu's phantom emerged from the void, revealing the Great Dao of Yin Ziyu's heart, which resonated with the Heart Teachings passed down by Mi Fei.

Three thousand disciples chanted in unison: "Break free from shackles to see your true nature; observe your mind, and you will find the Way!"

Mi Fei established her teachings with her heart, naturally taking Yin Ziyu as her patriarch, while Mi Fei herself was the one who carried on the legacy and opened up new possibilities.

At the moment of establishing the religion, in an instant, golden light of merit cascaded down from the sky like a waterfall, landing on Mi Fei's shoulder and transforming into the image of the Goddess of the Luo River.

Countless blessings converged upon Mi Fei's body, while a surge of heavenly fortune and merit also began to converge upon Yin Ziyu's body.

At this moment, the Luo River suddenly surged and boiled. With the help of good fortune and merit, Mi Fei's aura suddenly increased tenfold. At this moment, the Great Dao was perfected, and the infinite Great Dao proverbs transformed into thousands of fine golden rays that pierced into the sky.

Mi Fei immediately knew that her opportunity to advance to the Great Luo realm had arrived. She stood barefoot in mid-air, her moon-white dress fluttering without wind.

"boom!"

As Mi Fei began her breakthrough, a deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The void above Mi Fei's head suddenly cracked open, and wisps of chaotic energy fell down.

Mi Fei suddenly opened her tightly closed eyes, her pupils reflecting the brilliance of the sun, moon, and stars, and slowly exhaled a breath containing the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

The aura condensed in the air into three crystal-clear lotus phantoms, but then quickly dissipated, turning into specks of starlight that disappeared into her brow.

The next moment, the first golden flower slowly bloomed to everyone's astonishment.

It was a pure golden lotus, its petals engraved with the laws of cause and effect of the Luo River, each petal flowing with the maxims of the Great Dao.

This golden flower was created through the practice of the Luo River's law of cause and effect, and was transformed from the essence of Mi Fei.

Immediately afterwards, the second golden flower bloomed.

This flower displays a dreamlike seven-colored hue, with the petals shimmering with the radiance of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

The five elements of heaven and earth converged wildly, and the waters of the Luo River flowed upstream, swirling and dancing around Mi Fei.

This is a golden flower transformed from qi, and it also embodies the five elements principle mastered by Mi Fei.

At this moment, Mi Fei's skin became even more radiant and translucent, as if it were carved from glass.

Her hair shimmered with a starlight-like luster, each strand containing profound truths. As the two golden flowers bloomed, the five energies within her body—the energies of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys—flowed like five rushing rivers, converging towards the top of her head.

The nascent form of the third golden flower was already faintly visible above her head, radiating a chilling pressure that caused the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a thousand miles to surge wildly.

At this moment, the three golden flowers were all in bud and had not yet bloomed, but they immediately attracted the astonishment of all parties in the Three Realms.

"This Mi Fei is truly blessed. Since the Luo River overflowed its banks and flooded Xiqi, she has become famous throughout the Three Realms. She has also assisted in sorting out the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth and gained merit. Now, she has gained this fortune and merit by spreading the Dao for Bi Gan, the Grand Priest of the Yin Shang Dynasty. Now she has advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal. She is truly a top-grade flower!"

"Mi Fei is the daughter of Fuxi, born from Fuxi's essence. Her innate talent is not low. Now she has no shortage of merit, no shortage of fortune, and her laws are perfected. She is definitely not below the seventh rank!"

"Seventh rank? That's too low. In my opinion, even someone like his father, who is ninth rank, might not be unable to achieve it!"

"What? Ninth Rank! None of the direct disciples of these four sects have reached the ninth rank yet!"

"So what? With such a great opportunity, what's wrong with Mi Fei reaching the ninth rank!"

"."

For a time, everyone in the Three Realms was abuzz with discussion about the grade of the Mi Fei Flower!

Meanwhile, in the Nuwa Heaven, Fuxi was discussing this matter with Nuwa. Just as Mi Fei was about to advance to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, Fuxi arrived at the Nuwa Heaven.

"Brother, the Mi Fei flower is in bloom this time, so its grade must be quite high. You finally have a worthy successor!"

Fuxi was overjoyed, seeing that Mi Fei was about to enter the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, possessing so much fortune and merit, and all her actions were solid and reliable. "Indeed, I never expected that Ziyu and Chaoge would immediately recognize Mi Fei as my daughter upon seeing her, and immediately recruit her as a junior priestess. Now, she has accumulated abundant fortune and merit, and Mi Fei is also the first person Ziyu has nurtured. My original intention to let her live in seclusion by the Luo River, untouched by worldly affairs, may have been a mistake!"

Nuwa shook her head: "Brother was not wrong, but it would have been useless for him to enter the mortal world at that time. It was Ziyu's birth that was Mifei's opportunity!"

It can be said that Yin Ziyu was truly Mi Fei's mentor; otherwise, if he had entered the world earlier, he might have been schemed against.

The Great Tribulation is also a great opportunity; outside of the Great Tribulation, one will not achieve much.

Fuxi watched with anticipation as the golden flowers of Mifei began to bloom above the Luo River.

All beings in the Three Realms are watching to see how many grades of flowers Mi Fei can bloom.

At this moment, Mi Fei sat cross-legged above the Luo River, and the first petal of her flower instantly opened.

The blooming of the Great Luo Flower is a manifestation of potential and an embodiment of the affinity of the Great Dao. After the first bloom, the potential will naturally reach its peak and continue to bloom.

When the second and third petals unfold, Mi Fei can clearly perceive the rules of the Heavenly Dao and easily grasp its origin. She can arrive at any place in the Three Realms in an instant.

As the fourth petal bloomed, Mi Fei gained a deeper understanding of the laws. The Dao that she could not comprehend before became as clear as the lines on her palm in the golden light of the blooming flower.

The moment the fifth and sixth golden flowers bloomed, five-colored light burst forth from all the acupoints around Mi Fei's body, and her divine sense pierced through the three realms like a sharp sword.

The sights and sounds of the world could no longer stir any emotion within her. Instead, she felt an indescribable clarity: all beings were struggling in the webs they themselves had woven, and only by transcending them could one glimpse the truth.

As the seventh petal fully unfurled, the oppressive force tore through the void, and Mi Fei finally revealed a smile.

Looking at all living beings with a changing mindset is a compassionate perspective from above.

"This, Senior Brother Guang Chengzi, this Mi Fei Flower has actually reached the seventh grade, and its potential has not diminished at all!"

Inside the Jade Void Palace, Guang Chengzi stared in shock at Mi Fei of Luoshui, his eyes filled with horror. Qingxu's words only made Guang Chengzi more shocked.

When he advanced to the Great Luo realm, he had such talent, but after reaching the seventh rank, his potential for opening the eighth rank was already insufficient. He had to exert all his strength to successfully enter the eighth rank.

This was also due to my own background, the merits of the Emperor's teacher, and other blessings, which enabled me to achieve the eighth grade of the flower!
Even after Mi Fei's flower has reached the seventh grade, her potential is still so immense. Could she really possibly reach the ninth grade?
Guang Chengzi murmured, "If a flower truly reaches the ninth grade, I wonder what level Mi Fei will reach in the future!"

Qingxu said, "Senior brother, there's no need to worry. You might not be able to reach the ninth rank. You should know that the difficulty of advancing from the eighth rank to the ninth rank is the sum of the first to the eighth rank. It takes immeasurable good fortune to achieve this!"

Qingxu's words put Guangchengzi at ease. Yes, even if it's just a hair's breadth away, it's still the eighth rank. The ninth rank isn't so easy to achieve.

At this moment, Duobao, who was looking at Qianniu, exclaimed in surprise at Luoshui: "He's actually a seventh-rank official, and his aura is still undiminished!"

Li Er remained calm: "Even if someone is a ninth-rank expert, so what? From ancient times to the present, there have been many ninth-rank experts, but only six sages!"

"What my eldest uncle says is absolutely right!"

"..."

And the blooming of Mi Fei's giant Luo flower continues.

Her potential remains formidable, and Yin Ziyu is also watching Mi Fei advance to the Great Luo realm.

Yin Ziyu was naturally aware that the quality of the Da Luo flower represented its future potential.

"May the flower bloom successfully to the ninth grade!"

Yin Ziyu muttered to himself.

Given the current situation in the Three Realms, the Great Shang Dynasty does not yet have its own Quasi-Saint. Yin Ziyu has only cultivated for a short time, has made many plans during the Great Tribulation, and has achieved a cultivation level equivalent to that of a Great Luo due to his physical constitution.

However, further development is needed in the future; the gap between the Great Luo and the Quasi-Saint is insurmountable.

For the Three Realms, the Great Luo Golden Immortal is the highest level of cultivation. For the great sects of sages, the Great Luo is the ultimate level that can be achieved through elixirs.

The ultimate level that merit can elevate, though such opportunities are rare, is not unattainable; only a Quasi-Saint can reach the pinnacle.

The Jie Sect and the Shang Dynasty were allies, but despite their close alliance, it did not contribute to the Shang Dynasty's overall strength.

Mi Fei is the daughter of Emperor Fuxi. As long as Mi Fei's Great Luo Flower blooms to the ninth grade, with such great potential, even if there is only a slight chance of reaching the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint, she will definitely reach that stage.

And the fortunes of the great merchants will rise as a result.

Mi Fei's potential is indeed immense; after reaching the seventh rank, she continued to flourish and soon reached the eighth rank.

"I see."

Mi Fei gazed at the unfolding eighth petal and murmured softly.

There was neither joy nor sorrow in his voice, only the emptiness that came from understanding the ways of heaven.

At this moment, everything has become clear. All things in the world are but a drop in the ocean. The mind has long since transcended the Three Realms. Just as Yin Ziyu said, there is no good or evil, no right or wrong, only the eternal Dao flowing endlessly.

Even after reaching the eighth rank, Mi Fei's potential remained formidable, leaving Guang Chengzi dumbfounded: "Could she really be destined to reach the ninth rank of the Great Luo Flower!"

Mi Fei's background was already quite strong. Fu Xi's background was that of a primordial deity. Although Mi Fei was a second-generation primordial being, her background was still formidable.

With such immense fortune and merit, as well as the countless uncertainties brought by following Yin Ziyu, all of this has transformed into enormous potential.

"boom!"

at last!

The Great Luo Flower has reached its ninth grade!
At this moment, the Luo River hangs upside down towards the sky, transforming into a golden galaxy that stretches straight to the heavens.

Mi Fei was enveloped in chaotic purple energy. The moment the ninth-grade Great Luo Golden Flower fully bloomed, the laws of heaven and earth began to twist and collapse.

Each petal of the golden flower reflects a different scene of time and space, as if the river of time is contained within it.

At the heart of the Golden Flower, Mi Fei's figure became increasingly ethereal, her skin began to turn transparent, and Daoist runes flowed around her.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Mi Fei instantly created a floating golden dojo on the banks of the Luo River. Above the dojo, countless golden laws intertwined into a net, covering an area of ​​millions of miles.

"Advancing to the Great Luo realm, the flower blooms at the ninth grade!"

Mi Fei's voice was no longer a human sound, but rather the sound of the Dao at the beginning of the creation of heaven and earth.

Yin Ziyu saw that Mi Fei's flower had finally blossomed into the ninth grade. He watched as the petals of the ninth grade displayed a chaotic color like the Great Dao, a grade that could not be reached by anyone other than the innate saints.

"Finally, she's reached the ninth rank! It wasn't in vain that I gave this opportunity to Consort Mi!"

At this moment, Yin Ziyu was extremely gratified. After all, Mi Fei was the first person Yin Ziyu had truly given an opportunity to and nurtured with all his heart. Luck and opportunities are limited. Apart from himself, it was already very rare to be able to nurture one person. It was not in vain that he planned this opportunity of the Hundred Schools of Thought to give to Mi Fei.

At this moment, the Three Realms were all stunned and dumbfounded to see that, apart from the innate saints who created the heavens, there was someone else whose flower had blossomed to the ninth grade!
