Immortal Mystery Sequence: I Establish a Divine Duty for Heaven and Earth

Chapter 90 All beings, with their devout faith, enter my path; the Dao Lord's divine miracles bring blessings to a thousand miles.

Rong Residence, a place of seclusion.

Swish!

The fragrant mist spread, and the scattered incense sticks gathered and merged into one, just like candles flickering and shining in the darkness.

Jiang Tu concentrated his mind and carefully perceived the various wonderful uses of incense. In a daze, he seemed to see images swirling and flashing from outside the incense, appearing continuously. Upon closer inspection, all the scenes were clear and detailed!

The first scene begins on the shore of Qingshan Lake.

Castle Peak.

Inside the Qin family's inner quarters, a single lamp shone dimly, and no one else was visible.

Qin Xian sat alone at her desk, her hands clasped together, her eyes closed, silently reciting something to herself—a prayer that should have been known only to her, yet it echoed clearly in Jiang Tu's ears!

"I believe that there must be a reason for the way of agriculture in this world. It cannot come from nowhere. Perhaps there are indeed wise and powerful people in the past, or even the gods and immortals of agriculture in the heavens protecting it."

"If that is truly the case, I hope that the spirits of the Taoist immortals three feet above our heads can protect my Qin family and also protect Master Wang from misfortune and good fortune."

"Master Wang has never wronged the farmers in his life. I hope Heaven has eyes and the gods will open their eyes and see that poor man, and save him."

stop!"

These silently recited prayers all transformed into faint spiritual light, rising gently and gathering among the incense sticks, burning eternally, symbolizing one of the sources of the incense's flame.

Though the incense flames were faint, their purity was extraordinary, embodying the trust, reliance, and dependence accumulated over many years.

It was an exceptionally sincere and devout expression.

Jiang Tu felt a warmth in his heart. He hadn't expected that Madam Qin would believe in the so-called agricultural deity.

Indeed, the "Great Sage Farmer" was a fabrication by the Qin family, so she naturally wouldn't believe it and would only believe in completely unknown gods and immortals—little did she know that the gods and immortals she worshipped were actually pointing to him.

It's a pity that what Madam Qin desires—that the King Dao will be safe and sound, and that the Qin family will be safe and sound—is also what he wants, but whether he can achieve it depends on the future, and he can hardly guarantee it!

Swish!

Another scene unfolds.

Inside a simple mud house in an unfamiliar village.

The elderly woman with white hair knelt on the ground, her hands supporting her weight, and was bowing and kowtowing with utmost sincerity.

There were no statues or memorial tablets in front of her, only a handful of rice and five dishes of ordinary grains, yet she treated them with the utmost respect, as if they were precious deities.

"I beseech the spirit of the Lord of the Way of Agriculture in heaven to bless my son so that he may awaken his innate wisdom—he has devoted his life to the earth with sincere devotion, diligently cultivating it, all so that one day he may awaken and become a member of the Way of Agriculture!"

"I beg the Lord of Heaven to have mercy and protect my son so that he may complete his awakening."

Her voice was old and hoarse, yet exceptionally firm and devout, as if she truly believed that in this vast world, there was a Daoist Master of Agriculture overlooking all living beings, guiding them through the four transformations and opening up their great path.

Jiang Tu's heart stirred, and Hui Zhi felt a mysterious call within his soul!

He—it seems—can use the incense offerings available to him to help this old man fulfill his wish.

The incense power gathered from all directions contains boundless spiritual energy and might, with just a slight thought, be able to travel hundreds of miles to the place where the old woman prayed, and fulfill her insignificant little wish.

Should we give it a try?

He shouldn't be noticed by the Taoists because of this. He has the Sequence Golden Strategy and the ability to block out the sun and sky—let's give it a try!

We can't be afraid to use newly acquired techniques, can we?

The old woman's son just happened to be his best guinea pig, so it can be said that they were destined to be together!

Swish!

The next moment, the four-inch incense stick shrank by an inch in the darkness, transforming into a magnificent and vast power of agriculture, spanning thousands of miles, and falling down fiercely in that instant!

Xiaopingzhuang, a remote area north of the Yangtze River.

In the courtyard of Grandma Fu's house in the east of the village.

The old woman knelt on the ground and kowtowed, muttering incantations.

Behind her, her son Xiao Fu seemed unconcerned. He picked up a hoe and was about to go to work in the fields. It was the busy time for planting, with grass growing and birds singing. Seeing this, he casually said, "Mother, there is no such thing as a Daoist Master in this world! The reason why my agricultural path was able to be born is because of the protection of the Boundless Heavenly Venerable. Don't believe in any other nonsense—"

"Besides, how could you possibly know? My sincere farming isn't about awakening some kind of innate wisdom and soaring to the heavens! Don't underestimate your son. I just hope to be more diligent so that I can provide a better life for my mother, and it would be even better if I could marry a wife someday."

As Granny Fu turned around, she pouted and retorted, "You can only fool your old mother with such words! Don't think I don't know that when Xiao Shunzi next door awakened his innate wisdom the other day, you were so jealous you cried. You pounded on the wall every night and wouldn't sleep, disturbing my sleep too."

Not! "

Xiao Fu blushed, scratched his head sheepishly, and said, "Mom, let's not say anything even though we know the truth, okay?"

Grandma Fu grabbed her son and said sternly, "You must believe your mother! Back then, your mother was able to awaken her innate wisdom because she believed in the Daoist Master of the Agricultural Way—sincere faith brings results! You should believe in the Daoist Master well, and perhaps the Daoist Master will be magnanimous and guide you to awaken your innate wisdom!"

Xiao Fu became increasingly confused.

"Sincerity brings miracles—it can awaken innate wisdom? Really? Mother, I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me—I've only heard of countless celestial beings in this world, and I know that our agricultural path has great sage agricultural masters, but when has there ever been a Daoist master? Is this news even true?"

"Of course! Come on, come on!"

Xiao Fu sighed. Well, what could a mortal like him do about the affairs of immortals and gods?

Ultimately, it's better to believe it exists than to believe it doesn't!

thump!

He knelt down on the ground and, imitating his mother, kowtowed repeatedly, silently reciting prayers.

"Your Majesty, I, Lü Afu, pay my respects to Your Majesty. I have offended you in the past, please forgive me—today, I bow with utmost sincerity, and I pray that Heaven will bless me and grant me enlightenment!"

"I am deeply grateful!"

He kowtowed several times, waited a moment, and saw no reaction—he felt as if he had done something incredibly stupid! It was utterly ridiculous!

He was about to look up—

Snapped!

Grandma Fu slapped him on the head, and he had no choice but to obediently lower his head again.

Strangely enough, after being slapped by his mother, he actually stopped his careless thoughts and became even more devout.

Such tales of immortals and gods have been around since ancient times, with belief determining their existence and disbelief their non-existence—no one in the world has ever said that the Lord of the Dao exists, but no one has ever said that the Lord of the Dao truly does not exist either!

They knelt and worshipped for a good half hour, and the old lady recited scriptures in a jumbled mess for a long time, mostly copied from the prayers of the "Great Sage Farmer".

He kept rolling his eyes as he listened, feeling completely numb, but he still managed to finish the prayer with his mother and call it a day.

Finally, he got up and left to work in the fields.

For some reason, I felt incredibly energetic while working today, and I didn't feel tired at all as I ran around. It was as if I had some kind of blessing from the unseen world.

As he returned home in the evening, he looked up at the sky. The twilight was vast, and the afterglow of the setting sun slanted westward. For a moment, his heart felt incredibly open and expansive.

Suddenly, in a moment of clarity of mind, one feels a sharp sense of hearing and sight, hearing the chirping of insects and birds in all directions, the roots of grass and trees on the ground, the crops and seedlings in the distance, and all the things in the world are contained in a single thought.

In an instant, I understood many changes in plants, trees, celestial phenomena, and the earth, just like a sage touching my head, giving me a sudden enlightenment!

Innate wisdom?! This is innate wisdom?!

He's awakened?!

Xiao Fu was shocked and shouted in disbelief.

"So, devout faith really works! Could the Lord of the Dao really exist?!"

He suddenly covered his mouth halfway through his shout, his face turning red.

No no no!

How could such important news be known to outsiders?

These kinds of gods and deities are more effective the fewer people believe in them; if too many people believe in them, they become commonplace and lose their effectiveness!

He wants to make a fortune quietly!

Everyone else has gone to believe in the Great Sage Farmer, but only this mother and son believe in the Master of the Farmer Way. Doesn't that make him seem to have a bright future?

!

Doesn't that show he's sincere enough?!

Moreover—who knows if his awakening today was truly due to the protection of the Dao Lord? Who can say for sure?

What if it's just a sudden enlightenment after years of hard work? What if someone else believes in the Lord of the Sea but doesn't receive enlightenment? They might come back and call him a fool!

Thinking of this, the clever and shrewd Xiao Fu kept quiet, but was secretly overjoyed.

Yingfeng City, Rong Residence.

The secluded retreat.

Jiang Tu waited for a while without receiving a response, and was unsure whether the incense was truly effective.

Then he saw that the incense that had been gathered from all directions had been shortened by an inch, and he was a little annoyed. Even if incense could really help people fulfill their wishes and awaken their enlightenment, was it easy for him to collect incense?

So it's only enough to activate the Soul-Binding Awakening skill for a maximum of four people? That's such a waste!

This is absolutely unacceptable!

No matter what, you can't be a big philanthropist (a sucker); trying it once is enough.

After that, he looked at several more pictures depicting the source of the incense offerings.

He soon discovered that he could receive offerings from anyone who genuinely revered the Daoist Master of Agriculture, the Immortal God of Agriculture, or the Sages of Agriculture.

Unfortunately, similar folk beliefs are extremely rare, existing only sporadically. Many originate from the Qin family, especially the six members of the Qin family's inner circle who survived a bizarre calamity in Dajiang County and thus believe that the agricultural path is protected by deities.

Few other ordinary people believe in it.

This should be the norm for the "Minister of Agriculture." It's impossible for someone to easily enjoy the incense offerings and gain access to endless wonders. The incense offerings and faith need to be accumulated slowly. He's just taking advantage of the incense offerings by enjoying the benefits of the sequence gold policy feedback.

It is likely that most other officials in charge of agriculture would need the support of officials in charge of agriculture to start receiving offerings, and it would be impossible for them to accumulate four inches of incense offerings all at once.

When he saw the last picture, he was greatly surprised and almost got angry.

The picture shows a young couple, both of whom are ninth-rank farmers with the ability to cultivate wisdom.

Originally, everything was peaceful and beautiful.

But the woman said, "I worship the Celestial God of Agriculture, a great being who pioneered the way of agriculture. He is worlds apart from your little Great Sage Farmer; the two are incomparable!"

The man scoffed, "You're the one spouting nonsense! Where are there any immortals or gods in the agricultural path? It's nothing but your conjecture! In contrast, I, the Great Sage Farmer, have statues and talismans among the people, and there are even legends that I am the right-hand man of the Infinite Heavenly Venerable—"

Isn't that more reliable than your fake gods and immortals? If you're going to believe, believe in the Great Sage Farmer!

"Bah! That's disrespectful to the gods! I think that Great Sage Farmer is a fraud, spouting nonsense and witchcraft. Without the Great Farmer God establishing the Great Dao, where would the Farmer Dao be today?"

"Then tell me, what is the name of this so-called Agricultural God? Who is he/she? What deity is he/she worshipped among the people?"

"I...I...I...I..."

"Go ahead and say it?"

"I...I don't know either! I'm just guessing that there must be some kind of deity watching us from above!"

"Shout! Even you can't say it yourself, so why should I believe you? It's utterly ridiculous and untrue!"

boom!

The man moved aside the shrine to the agricultural deity worshipped by the woman, placed his own clay sculpture of the Great Sage Farmer upright on it, and respectfully invited it into his home.

door.

At this point, the incense smoke dissipated completely.

Well, his already low profile among the common people led to even less worship and offerings.

Jiang Tu: "???"

So that's what happened.

There were originally people in the world who believed in him as the master of agriculture and the pioneering "immortal god".

However, since the birth of the Great Sage Farmer, he has exclusively taken over all the scattered and trivial folk beliefs.

After all, the Qin family's agricultural masters spread their teachings far and wide, making the story of the Great Sage Agricultural Master known to people on both sides of the strait. They had a whole set of stories about his background and deeds.

In contrast, this genuine master of agriculture is far too low-key.

He has never done anything significant—or rather, everything he did was done behind the scenes, unknown to the general public. Why would anyone believe in him?

this----

Jiang Tu was momentarily stunned.

It's impossible for him to deliberately create some kind of great agricultural master like the Qin family, parading it around and spreading it far and wide.

It could easily attract the attention of the Taoist sects, and if they accidentally reveal their secrets, they would be in big trouble.

The Qin family's Great Sage Farmer is a fake; he's not afraid of being exposed. But his title of Dao Master is real.

Even if he were to fight with all his might now, his strength would at most be enough to fight a Daoist master who has received the Dao four times. If he were to encounter a Daoist master or elder, he would be powerless to fight back.

It's best to be cautious.

Hmm? Wait, is there any way he can steal the incense offerings from the "Great Sage Farmer"?

Let the Great Sage Farmer be your disguise as the Master of Agriculture!

Since the person in question never existed, all the incense and faith in the world would simply be a waste.

He thought for a moment, but couldn't come up with a reliable solution, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

Immediately, he immersed himself in his senses again, carefully exploring the other wonderful uses of incense, and his spirits were lifted.

It turns out that incense can not only grant believers some trivial wishes, but also enlighten the spirits of the local earth spirits or rare treasures, and can enlighten the best helpers who will be loyal to them forever. These are called "small farmer officials", which are even more amazing than enlightening straw figures.

In addition, incense can be used to instantly and significantly increase the age of rare and precious materials!

The former enlightens and the latter accelerates ripening; both are extremely practical.

Give it a try!

We have to try it right now!

He still has a little bit of incense left to burn, so he should use it wisely!

Swish!

He immediately broke free of his meditation, and with a flick of his sleeve, the secluded meditation chamber behind him was covered by earth and stones, and all traces of it vanished.
