Zhu Tian: Starting from the World of Zongwu

As long as I pretend I don't know, nothing has happened and I am still the high and mighty Prime Minister of the Dragon Palace!

After all, he was a high-ranking official in the Dragon Palace, and his nephew was dead. With the death of a person, all debts were settled. Could the people behind Song Xuan still attack the Dragon Palace and demand an explanation?

Chapter 983 The Land Lord’s New Dojo!

The clinic in Lingxi County is closed.

The night before closing the door, Song Xuan avenged his previous shame and lovingly showered his young wife on the not-so-spacious bed.

The next morning, the wind and snow stopped for a while, and Song Xuan returned to the land temple with Lian Xing, who could not even straighten her waist.

After twelve years without returning, Song Xuan was shocked by the scene when he set foot on this familiar yet unfamiliar land again. The land temple he remembered was no longer there, replaced by a jaw-dropping scene.

Back then, this was just a small temple, standing alone at the foot of the mountain. It was small in size and had simple architecture, and it seemed like it would collapse at any time due to wind and rain.

However, time flies, and this land temple has undergone earth-shaking changes!

It is no longer the inconspicuous little temple of the past, but has expanded to more than ten times its original size. It is grand in scale and majestic in appearance. From a distance, it looks like a towering palace complex.

The palaces are arranged in an orderly manner, with red walls, yellow tiles, flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, which are magnificent. Every detail shows exquisite craftsmanship and endless luxury.

When you walk into this palace complex, you can feel a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

The spacious courtyard is filled with exotic flowers and plants, and the fragrance is overwhelming; the bluestone-paved roads meander and lead to various halls.

There are many tall statues of gods enshrined in the hall, and the statue of the land god, which looks 50% similar to Song Xuan, stands in the center. The incense is curling and the candlelight is swaying, which makes people feel awe.

Looking at the newly renovated land temple in front of him, Song Xuan subconsciously looked back. If the location was not correct, he would have suspected that he had gone in the wrong direction.

"Master, you are back!"

Suddenly, from within the solemn and majestic palace with carved beams and painted rafters, there came a clear and pleasant sound, as cheerful as a silver bell.

The sound was like a flower blooming in spring, instantly breaking the originally solemn and quiet atmosphere in the hall. Then, a beautiful and dazzling figure pushed open the door and walked out slowly.

Song Xuan looked up and down at the woman who was dressed in gorgeous colorful feathered clothes. She exuded a noble and elegant yet lively and agile temperament. For a moment, he was also surprised. This turned out to be the little divine messenger he had rescued that year.

Yingning's long, shiny black hair cascaded down to her slender waist. Seeing her own land master was a little stunned, she immediately bowed and said, "Disciple Yingning, greetings to the master!"

Lian Xing was also a little surprised. Before she followed her husband to become a mortal, Yingning, the little divine messenger, was still a half-grown girl. But now, after more than ten years, she has grown into a beautiful young lady.

Song Xuan nodded slightly, pointed at the huge palace complex, and asked, "Did you build all of this?"

Yingning smiled brightly, "Master, our family is rich now. I just feel that since you are a god in heaven, the land temple you used to live in is not worthy of your status.

In recent years, Bai Xiaochun, a disciple of Lingxi Sect, would send a large sum of immortal stones every once in a while. He told his disciples that, "Master, you are of noble status, and your temple should not be so shabby."

So, after I gave my permission, Bai Xiaochun brought a lot of people from Lingxi Sect to renovate and expand your dojo..."

Yingning was a little nervous and whispered, "I took the initiative. I wonder if you are satisfied with this new dojo, Master?"

Song Xuan smiled and said, "Although I don't have high demands for external things, the fact that you have this thought means that my love for you is not in vain."

After saying this, Song Xuan paused and felt a little strange.

After more than ten years of experience as a mortal and having been an old man for more than ten years, he now speaks with a sense of old age unconsciously.

Holding Lianxing's hand, Song Xuan instructed Yingning, "If you have nothing to do now, accompany me for a walk around this Taoist temple and chat about the past ten years."

Yingning nodded quickly and followed, walking diagonally behind Song Xuan. As they walked, she introduced the environment inside the Taoist temple from time to time.

"Master, this is the front hall, which is also the area where pilgrims burn incense."

"This is the main hall, where your statue is enshrined."

Song Xuan glanced at his statue. Others might not be able to sense it, but he could clearly sense that a lot of power of incense and faith had been condensed on the statue.

Song Xuan nodded and continued walking forward.

"This is the side hall, where the statues of the Three Pure Ones are enshrined, as well as the statue of Nuwa, the ancestor of our human race..."

"And this side, this is the Dao Discussion Hall. If you want to preach or discuss Dao with the immortals in the future, you can choose to do so here."

"Over there are nine secret cultivation chambers. Lingxi Sect has specially arranged various spirit gathering, gravity, and defense formations in them, which are very beneficial for cultivation."

...

Song Xuan listened quietly. When he arrived at the bedroom, he asked, "Have you encountered any difficulties during this period?"

Yingning waved her hands hurriedly. "Master, your divine power has long been known throughout the surrounding area, and with the protection of the mountain gods, Yingning has not encountered any troublemakers."

Song Xuan nodded slightly, "That's great!"

It was also a good time for him. The Lich Tribulation was over, and the God Tribulation had not yet begun. The entire prehistoric world was generally peaceful, giving him enough time to grow.

If he happens to ascend during a catastrophe, no matter how hard he tries to survive, he will never be able to live in peace. Sooner or later, he will be dragged into the catastrophe.

Yingning handed Song Xuan a storage ring, "Master, these are the tributes that Lingxi Sect has sent over the years. I have collected them all here."

Song Xuan used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that the entire storage ring was filled with fairy stones piled up densely, almost like a small mountain. This showed how profitable the alchemy industry was.

It’s a pity that I don’t have much talent in alchemy. If I have the chance in the future, I can mention it to Song Erni. If I am bored, I can refine more high-level pills.

Even if you don't sell it, it will be very beneficial to use it to make more connections in the Heavenly Palace.

Alchemy masters who can refine golden elixirs, even seventh-turn and eighth-turn golden elixirs, are extremely popular even in the prehistoric times. Wherever they go, there will be a bunch of bootlickers following them.

After encouraging Yingning a few words, Song Xuan took out a thousand fairy stones and rewarded them to her, then pulled Lianxing into the secret room for training.

After accompanying him in his mortal form for more than ten years, Lian Xing's cultivation had reached a critical point, and it was time to prepare for the first decline of a martial arts immortal.

Song Xuan calculated that a double-flowered martial arts immortal like Lian Xing was not a perfect immortal. Even if he had survived the first of the Five Degenerations of an Immortal, he could only be considered a normal immortal and had no chance of becoming an innate god or demon.

Therefore, in Song Xuan's deduction, Lian Xing's first decline would be much simpler than that of a perfect celestial being like himself.

Of course, this simplicity is from Song Xuan's perspective. For Lian Xing, the first catastrophe is still an extremely terrifying and powerful force of decay.

Chapter 984 Our goal is to monopolize the prehistoric land god!

Lian Xing is a person who is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that she is a cute little girl in bed, always calling her brother-in-law “be gentle”, but when it comes to cultivation, she is actually a very serious and resilient person.

This can be seen from the fact that she was able to follow all the way into the world of all spirits and now into the upper realm of the prehistoric world.

She may be less fortunate than her sister, but she is definitely very resilient.

Song Xuan was not stingy with her at all. He gave her immortal stones, pills, and amulets in piles. He even diluted a drop of his own innate divine and demonic blood and merged it into her body.

It’s not that I don’t want to give more, but Lian Xing simply can’t bear the complete innate essence of gods and demons.

After everything was ready, Lian Xing, at Song Xuan's signal, triggered the first calamity of heaven and man.

The power of the Great Dao of Decline seemed to appear out of thin air, and began to spread wildly from the inside out within Lian Xing's body, spreading all over the body.

It was visible to the naked eye that Lian Xing's skin began to crack, her hair began to fall out in clumps, her body gradually became shriveled, and the smell of decay came in waves, extremely violent.

Song Xuan watched the scene quietly with a calm expression, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although Lianxing's situation was not good, in his opinion, Lianxing's tribulation was indeed more than one level weaker than when he was going through the tribulation of physical decline. With all the preparations he had made in advance, there was no big problem.

It’s just a pity that the weak decline also means weak potential, and there is no great fortune to transform into an innate god or demon.

Even if she has her husband to protect her all the way in the future and is lucky enough to survive the fifth stage of decline of the celestial being, she can only stop at the Daluo realm. Her potential will be exhausted and the road to the great Dao will be at an end.

After observing for half a month and confirming that Lian Xing had survived the most violent stage of the decline and entered a stable stalemate stage, Song Xuan stopped staring at her and sat cross-legged on the cushion and began to sort himself out.

After going through the second decline of the celestial being, he was apparently a true immortal.

But in terms of combat power, with his innate divine and demonic body, combined with the immortal arts of decline and destruction he has mastered, an ordinary Golden Immortal, if he has no spiritual treasures to protect him, can basically be crushed to death in two or three moves!

As for Taiyi, his original body cannot deal with him yet.

According to the information he had, people at the Taiyi realm had already begun to comprehend the laws of the ancient universe. With a wave of his hand, the laws of the ancient universe descended, and everyone below Taiyi was an ant!

He now only has the power to trigger the great decline of his physical body and magic power, but he has not yet overcome the decline of his soul, let alone trigger the decline of his soul to fight the enemy.

But just because he can't deal with it doesn't mean he has no ability to fight back.

Not to mention the natal immortal sword that was being nurtured, just the Xuantian Moshi Pan, Song Xuan didn't know whether this thing could be considered a spiritual treasure, but what was certain was that it was definitely a powerful weapon.

If the demon clone fights desperately with this powerful weapon, combined with the original body's magic of decline, there is still a chance to escape from Taiyi.

That’s right, just run away!

From the beginning to the end, Song Xuan was very clear that Taiyi's realm was not something he could compete with head-on at the moment.

Unless, he can now find his world god clone.

In his previous life, the Lord God Xuantian planned for countless years and finally made his immortal clone completely sublime and transformed into a world god clone with terrifying potential.

It can be said that this clone has concentrated all the power of the universe into itself, absorbing countless powers into itself, and is extremely powerful.

Song Xuan couldn't judge how powerful the World God's clone was, but as soon as he made a move, he pierced the chest of the Golden Demon God, seized his demon origin, and gave it to Yao Yue as the final gift.

From this point of view, the clone of the World God is at least at the peak strength of Taiyi, and is very likely to be a half-step Daluo.

As for whether he is Daluo, Song Xuan is not sure. It is likely that he is not yet, but Song Xuan can be sure that he has unlimited potential and also possesses an incarnation of the World God in an absolutely rational state. There will be no accidents in his becoming a Daluo-level existence in the future.

I just don't know, when he reaches the Daluo level in the future and is in an absolutely rational state, what kind of attitude will he adopt to face his original self?

Is it to acknowledge the true self, or to ignore it?

Taking a deep breath, Song Xuan dispelled all the thoughts in his mind. There was no point in thinking so much now. With his cultivation level of the second lowest level of celestial being, his level was still not high enough in the prehistoric world.

So, we have to continue to survive!

Even if you go looking for the incarnation of the World God, you have to overcome the fifth decline and become a Daluo-level existence before you need to consider it!

Song Xuan, a Taoist monk, once again entered into seclusion mode.

Now he has no shortage of resources, and his path of cultivation is extremely clear. He only needs to expand his inner world step by step, and then use the inner world to feed back his body and soul, and continuously strengthen his innate body of gods and demons!

When the innate body of a god or demon is strengthened to a certain degree, the decline of the soul will naturally come!

After overcoming the decline of his primordial spirit, his essence, energy and spirit will be sublimated to the utmost, and the three flowers will gather at the top of his head to evolve into the innate immortal light of gods and demons. By then, his body will be reborn with an immortal drop of blood, his magic power will be inexhaustible, and his primordial spirit will be immortal to deduce the heavens. Under the catastrophe, he can already rest assured!

...

In the first year of seclusion, Song Xuan received a message from Ji Xuanfeng.

Ji Xuanfeng: "Song Xuan, I have overcome the first decline of the celestial being! Hahahaha, I am now also an innate god and demon!

At this moment, I finally understood how powerful and terrifying you were in the underworld!

Hahaha, now, I am so powerful!

By the way, as you said before, I have now left Lingxi Sect and am planning to follow your example and become a land god."

Song Xuan took the time out from his training to reply, "Congratulations!"

Perhaps it was Ji Xuanfeng who started it, or perhaps it was because of more than ten years of hard training, the spiritual cultivators who came from the lower realms have recast their immortal roots and laid a solid foundation.

In the following period, almost every year, Song Xuan would receive messages from acquaintances, either news of someone having survived the tribulation of physical decline, or good news of someone having survived the tribulation of heaven and entered the realm of celestial immortals.

Song Xuan would reply once in a while.

And all these people, without exception, followed Song Xuan's previous advice and went to the Heavenly Court to get a leisurely job.

Most of them followed Song Xuan's example and chose the immortal official position of land god.

Their idea is very simple. They just follow whatever Song Xuan does. Instead of spending time trying to figure out the general trend of the world, it is easier to follow the smart people.

Song Xuan silently put away the communication talisman with a smile on his face.

Looking at this trend, they, the cultivators of all spirits, are going to monopolize the grassroots position of the prehistoric land god!

To put it bluntly, when the time comes, as long as Song Xuan's strength reaches a certain level, he will have the final say on whether the prehistoric world will be in chaos or not!

Without the support of all the land gods in the prehistoric world, don’t even think about implementing any of your orders from heaven in the prehistoric world!

Chapter 985: Message from Heaven from Victoria Song!

In the fifth year of Song Xuan's retreat, Lian Xing ended his decline and officially became a glorious first-level celestial being, with the cultivation level of a prehistoric celestial being.

And in the same year, Song Xuan received news from Song Qian, the apprentice of Yue Lao.

Song Erni: "Brother, guess what I did when I returned to Heaven?"

Song Xuan: "I don't guess!"

Song Erni: "You guessed it right, Yue Lao is taking me to the Peach Festival!"
