From dual spiritual roots to a sword master with all attributes

Chapter 1085 Incense Offerings and Divine Path, Second-Rank Divine Position

The object in Zhang Tiansheng's hand looked like a talisman.

To the naked eye, it appears to have a shape, but it is elusive and uncertain.

It seems to exist yet not exist, as if it exists between reality and illusion.

On it, countless mysterious Dao patterns flowed continuously, as if they were alive.

Sometimes they converge, sometimes they disperse.

It also subtly exuded a kind of pressure that Fang Xiao had never felt before.

It resembles the Dao, but it is not the Dao.

For a moment, even he, who had mastered the power of the Great Dao, could not discern the details of this object or its origin.

"This thing contains the power of heaven and earth?"

The younger generation is ignorant and cannot recognize its origin.

I wonder if you could offer some guidance, senior?

"To be honest, I can't be sure whether the power it contains belongs to the power of heaven and earth."

Zhang Tiansheng then proceeded to explain the origin of the object.

In his early years, when Zhang Tiansheng and his Daoist companion first entered the Mahayana path, they also traveled to various realms.

During this time, they inadvertently arrived at a special interface.

This realm is called the Heavenly Sea Realm.

Its territory is so vast that it is almost on par with the spirit world.

The human race within was extremely prosperous, and their numbers were countless.

But Zhang Tiansheng made an unexpected discovery.

Not only are there no sects or factions within this Tianhai Realm, but it has also achieved complete unification.

It was completely controlled by a divine dynasty called 'Da Qian'.

Furthermore, the cultivation path of refining essence into qi is not prevalent in this world.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it has withered to the extreme.

Although it has not yet reached the point of complete cessation, it has been completely relegated to a peripheral role.

Since it's a supporting role, there must also be a main character.

The mainstream cultivation system in the Heavenly Sea Realm is the 'Incense and Divine Path', which involves condensing divine positions, bestowing divine duties, and then absorbing the wishes of all living beings to achieve godhood.

This path is similar to that of cultivators, dividing the divine path into nine grades.

The ninth rank is the lowest, and the first rank is the highest.

As for where that divine position came from.

That is to forge divine registers based on spiritual veins of various grades, and to obtain divine positions and establish divine duties through divine registers.

A divine talisman forged from a first-order spiritual vein can lead to a ninth-rank divine position.

And a first-rank deity naturally needs a ninth-order spiritual vein.

Although Zhang Tiansheng and his wife infiltrated the Tianhai Realm, the various divine positions within the Tianhai Realm also included the duties of inspection.

Therefore, the moment they stepped into the Tianhai Realm, they were detected by the 'Great Qian Divine Dynasty'.

They also directly dispatched several second-rank deities to besiege them.

But Zhang Tiansheng and his wife were clearly not weak either, even if they were only at the initial stage of Mahayana.

Even when they joined forces, it was not something that several second-rank Divine Path cultivators could defeat.

It was also because the two reacted quickly and were lucky.

Before the 'Great Qian Divine Dynasty's' first-grade divine being, comparable to the Tribulation Transcending stage, could make a move, the two of them had already successfully broken through and directly vanished into the void.

It can only be said that the 'Great Qian Divine Dynasty' has dominated for too long, and these second-rank divine beings are too arrogant.

Even after Zhang Tiansheng and his wife left, they continued to pursue them relentlessly, even venturing deep into the void.

However, the drawbacks of the "incense and deity worship" system have also become apparent.

After it left the Heavenly Sea Realm, the willpower of the beings in the Heavenly Sea Realm began to decline sharply.

And the Great Dao that they temporarily controlled through their divine positions immediately spiraled out of control.

Seizing the opportunity, Zhang Tiansheng and his wife killed one of the second-rank Divine Path cultivators on the spot.

Of course, even if the two were confident in killing all these out-of-control second-rank divine beings, the first-rank being could appear at any time, so they dared not linger.

After intimidating the other second-rank Divine Path cultivators, they chose to flee immediately, heading far away from the Heavenly Sea Realm.

And back to the present moment.

The object in Zhang Tiansheng's hand was the second-rank divine position left behind by the second-rank divine being that he and his wife had killed that day.

"These second-rank divine positions are forged from eighth-order spiritual veins, and the power within them is completely different from the normal power of heaven and earth."

Whether it meets your requirements is for you to judge.

The so-called poison of incense actually refers to the power of the wishes of sentient beings contained within it.

The reason why the gods and deities, who are comparable to the cultivators of the three upper realms, can control the power of the Great Dao and even the Great Dao itself, is because of the power of the wishes of all living beings.

But it is the power of aspiration that can also lead to its downfall.

When the soul is constantly permeated by a massive amount of willpower, its self-perception will gradually be influenced by that willpower.

For example, someone who obtains a divine position may be a Confucian scholar, but his divine office belongs to the category of fighting.

The incense offerings and prayers received are naturally prayers for conquest and fighting.

Over time, their initially refined character will be distorted into extreme belligerence.

However, if one abandons the power of will, one's control over the divine position will decrease, and one's power will naturally be lost.

Therefore, even though the gods of the Heavenly Sea Realm understand the drawbacks of incense and vows, they cannot push them away. They can only sink deeper and deeper, becoming more and more bound to the beings of the Heavenly Sea Realm.

Of course, the divine tablet that Zhang Tiansheng took out had been separated from the Tianhai Realm for a long time, and the incense and vows within it had long since dissipated.

As long as Fang Xiao doesn't refine it and accepts the incense offerings and vows, there won't be any problems.

"That is to say.

Today, what makes up this second-grade divine position is not only an eighth-order spiritual vein, but also a part of the Great Dao.

Their divine duties are, in fact, bestowed upon them by the Great Dao.

This was the first time Fang Xiao had ever heard of such a power system.

But this is normal.

Although all the realms are under the same Great Dao, there are still some differences in the underlying rules of each realm.

It's just like the Spirit Realm and the Desolate Heaven Realm.

Although they both used spiritual energy, they embarked on completely different paths.

"Your understanding is not wrong either."

It seems that the existence of this divine position must be a creation of heaven and earth.

Otherwise, I really can't think of anyone who has such means to extract the Great Dao from heaven and earth and merge with it.

However, after this divine position left the Heavenly Sea Realm, it seems to have lost its proper function.

Therefore, I don't know what the great path is.

However, I remember that the people of the Heavenly Sea Realm called that deity the Lord of the Underworld, so this path should be related to the legendary Underworld.

I just don't know if this will affect what you're doing.

If this second-grade divine position were still usable, Zhang Tiansheng would have used it to cultivate a second-grade deity long ago, instead of keeping it until now.

And back to the present moment.

Whether it's collecting Dao track projections or gathering the power of heaven and earth, these are not things a normal cultivator should do.

Zhang Tiansheng understood that Fang Xiao must have had a deeper meaning in doing this.

Although he was very curious, he didn't ask any questions.

As long as Fang Xiao can ultimately fulfill his wish, these are just minor details to him and he doesn't need to care about them at all.

Upon hearing Zhang Tiansheng's words, Fang Xiao was immediately overjoyed.

However, his face did not show the slightest change in expression.

"Is that so? Then we can only try it out for now."

Defenses can not do without.

Although Zhang Tiansheng still gives him the feeling of being upright and one of his own, he is ultimately at the Mahayana stage.

This also involves the existence of a small world.

If Fang Xiao lowers his guard, Zhang Tiansheng will realize something and change his mind, then make a move against him.

At that time, he will probably be powerless to resist.

Therefore, things that should be kept secret should still be kept secret.
