A man from the Big Dipper, starting his charlatanship at Mount Tai.

Ye Fan felt that he could never learn this skill even if he studied for another hundred years.

Ji Ziyue's mouth was also agape, and she couldn't close it for a long time.

"That Lin Xiu... he's really too ruthless. Not only did he take away someone else's mountain terrain, but he also took away their power!"

"The sky over the Eastern Wilderness... is about to change!"

Ji Ziyue knew very well that a newly emerging force with imperial weapons and many powerful figures was already enough to stir up a huge wave in the Eastern Wilderness!

Putting everything else aside, the distribution of mining areas near the Primordial Ancient Mine will definitely have to be changed!

.......

On the other side, Lin Xiu's side.

With the major events already decided, he calmly gathered up the remaining mountain terrain.

Standing in the center of the valley, the ancient character for "mountain" hung above Lin Xiu's palm, radiating a hazy mountain glow.

The last few main peaks, like rivers flowing into the sea, continuously surged into the ancient rune.

The patterns on the surface of the ancient talisman became clearer and clearer, and even faintly revealed miniature phantoms of the 108 peaks of Tai Xuan, which were connected to each other and formed their own small world.

"Om~"

The ancient talisman trembled slightly, and its aura finally stabilized.

Peak Saint King.

He's just one step away from reaching the Great Sage level.

Lin Xiu could feel that his understanding of the Great Dao of "Mountain" had reached an unprecedented level. If he wished, he could summon the power of mountains and rivers to suppress his enemies at any time.

"One hundred and eight main peaks, which conform to the number of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends... Moreover, coincidentally, there are 36 stronger main peaks and 72 weaker main peaks among them."

"Could this... also be the so-called Heavenly Way?"

The term "Tian Gang" originally refers to the handle of the Big Dipper. Taoism believes that there are 36 Tian Gang stars in the Big Dipper constellation, each corresponding to a divine general, collectively known as the "Thirty-Six Tian Gang." They belong to the Yang element and represent righteousness, symbolizing order and authority.

The term "Di Sha" refers to 72 stars in the Big Dipper constellation that are associated with misfortune and killing. Each star corresponds to a deity, and they are collectively known as the "Seventy-Two Di Sha." They are considered to be yin in nature and are generally associated with evil spirits, ghosts, or evil soldiers.

Tiangang represents auspicious deities and righteous energy from the heavens, symbolizing positive, active, and masculine forces in the universe. In Chinese astrology, Tiangang is often associated with positive factors in a person's destiny, such as good fortune and the assistance of benefactors.

Earthly Fiends, in contrast, refer to the malevolent spirits and evil energies on earth, representing the yin and impure forces of the land, and symbolizing negative, passive, and yin-like forces in the universe. In numerology, Earthly Fiends are often associated with unfavorable factors in a person's destiny, such as setbacks, hardships, and the machinations of malicious people.

"Auspiciousness and evil... Righteousness and malevolent energy... Yang and Yin..."

"The Great Dao is interconnected to varying degrees, thus forming the universe."

"The Seal of Embracing the Mountain... does not suppress the opponent with a mountain... but rather suppresses the opponent with the 'momentum' engraved between heaven and earth."

……

As Lin Xiu's understanding of "mountain" and "Tao," "Yang" and "Yin" deepened, a system notification sounded in his ear.

【ding~】

The host altered the course of Hua Yunfei's fate. Under the host's influence, Hua Yunfei's destiny changed, and he became a fish breaking free from the river, leaping towards a completely new direction.

[Character Boost Level: High.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received the reward: Mastery of the Sound Dao (Quality: Gold).]

[Mastery of the Dao of Sound: The host's comprehension and control over the Dao of Sound have been elevated to the pinnacle of the world. If one focuses on cultivating the Dao of Sound, it may be possible to touch the threshold of the Immortal Path.]

Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Hmm? Mastery of the Sound Channel?

This reward came at just the right time.

He was thinking about how to teach his little girl to play "The Burial of Heaven".

Originally, he planned to have Hua Yunfei teach him, since Hua Yunfei's musical skills were among the best of the younger generation.

Now it seems I can do it myself.

Ever since the little girl played the Burial of Heaven Melody at the Qingdi Tomb, she has been pestering him to learn it.

Lin Xiu thought it would be a good idea to let his little girl learn some musical instruments to cultivate her character.

Perhaps in the future, when he's fighting the enemy, he can have the little girl play the "Burial of Heaven" tune beside him to create a festive atmosphere.

……

Lin Xiu put away the ancient talisman with the character "mountain" on it and turned to look at the Tai Xuan high-level officials, whose faces were full of worship and who were also physically in awe of him.

"Get up, everyone!"

"Thank you, Supreme Holy Lord!"

The elders and peak masters stood up, each with their heads bowed, not daring to meet Lin Xiu's gaze.

We're all adults, and we know exactly what a leader will do after taking office. To avoid becoming a tool used as a warning to others, it's best to keep quiet.

Lin Xiu's gaze swept across the room, finally settling on the elders and peak masters who hadn't uttered a single disrespectful word from beginning to end.

“You, you, and you… all of you come forward.”

Lin Xiu casually selected three or four people.

The elders were taken aback, then quickly walked up to Lin Xiu and bowed in greeting.

"What are the instructions of the Supreme Holy Lord?"

Lin Xiu didn't say much, just raised his hand and gestured.

Several beams of divine light flew from his fingertips and entered the brows of these people respectively.

"This is... the complete inheritance of the Fire Peak?!"

"The True Understanding of the Great Dao at Sunset Peak!"

"The true meaning of the rising sun at Chaoyang Peak!"

The group trembled violently, their faces beaming with ecstasy.

They had been stuck at a bottleneck for many years, but now that they have received the complete inheritance, a breakthrough is just around the corner!

"Thank you for your generous gift, Your Majesty!"

The group of people were so excited that their voices trembled, and they knelt down on the ground again.

The other elders around them turned red with rage at the sight.

That's the complete inheritance of the main peak!

The Tai Xuan Sect has 108 peaks, but due to the passage of time, many of its traditions have become incomplete.

Although the main peak is there, and theoretically anyone can comprehend it... but... you still need the ability!

Now that they have received the complete inheritance, they are expected to break through to an even higher level!

"Pfft!"

An elder who had previously reprimanded Lin Xiu immediately knelt down.

Rather than giving those peers who had been suppressed by them a chance to surpass them, they felt it was better for Lin Xiu to make an example of them and teach them a lesson!

Teaching them a lesson would only hurt their pride.

However, changing the hierarchy of power would damage their very foundation.

"Supreme Holy Lord! I was blind and offended you greatly! Please punish me, Supreme Holy Lord!"

"I only beg the Supreme Lord to give this old man a chance to make amends!"

He kowtowed so hard that his forehead turned blue.

Upon seeing this, the other elders who had spoken harshly also quickly knelt down to apologize.

In an instant, another group of people knelt down in the valley.

.........

Lin Xiu looked at these people with a blank expression.

"Get up, everyone!"

"Since I am the Supreme Lord of the Great Mystery, I shall treat everyone equally."

His tone was flat.

"But from today onwards, there will be rules within the Tai Xuan Sect."

"Reward those who have made contributions, and punish those who have made mistakes."

"I can overlook your previous offensive words. But if you continue to act insincerely in the future..."

Lin Xiu didn't finish speaking, but a chill ran down everyone's spine.

"I wouldn't dare! Absolutely not!"

"We swear to serve the Supreme Holy Lord to the death!"

The elders quickly pledged their loyalty.

Lin Xiu nodded and then raised his hand to unleash several more beams of divine light.

This time, the inheritance of their respective main peaks was completed for some other elders.

Although it wasn't as complete as what the previous people obtained, it was enough for them to break through their current bottleneck.

"Thank you, Supreme Holy Lord!"

The elder who was given the inheritance was overjoyed and bowed again.

Seeing Lin Xiu's actions, the elders and peak masters who had previously spoken rudely turned green with anger.

However, they couldn't say anything.

If Lin Xiu were to retaliate against them personally, they might still have a few complaints.

However, Lin Xiu simply bestowed the gift, and then deliberately avoided those who had offended him in the past... No one could find fault with this operation.

After all, you can't morally blackmail others and expect them to repay evil with kindness, can you?
