Chapter 924: Heavenly Decree
Thinking of this, and then thinking about the events at Yingxu, Changqing looked at Jie Xinyu. Jie Xinyu seemed to have figured something out through his physical cultivation, and he also looked back at Changqing. The woman in the coffin who had preached to Jie Xinyu, and the hundreds of gigantic skeletons, and the aura of those skeletons, seemed even more imposing than any peerless figures or venerables he had ever seen. Were they immortals too? Why had they descended into this world, and why had they confined themselves to this world?
Now it seems that what the woman in the coffin said was probably fabricated. Thinking of what she said about them meeting again in the future, Changqing felt a little wary. Could it be that she saw something from his blood?
Changqing and Jie Xinyu subtly withdrew their gazes and did not say much to the others. The affairs of the fairyland were still too far away, so they shifted the topic to why spiritual power was banned.
Zhong Baixuan was also very confused, staring at Chang Qing in amazement. "Junior Brother, what's the need for this ban? Countless cultivators are just passing through the mortal world, quietly observing everything. Once they've gathered enough insights into the mortal world, they return on their own. Isn't this ban a bit too much?"
"If I tell you that this is what truly enables you to compete with the Central Region's geniuses, would you believe me?"
Everyone looked over, stretched their necks and supported their heads, curiously waiting for Changqing's answer.
"The handsome uncle is very strong, extremely strong, even a little abnormal. I think you can all feel it." Changqing said softly.
They all nodded in agreement. Almost any disciple with keen spiritual perception could sense how powerful the handsome uncle was.
"And to get to the root of it, the body of shortcuts? No, no, no, this kind of physique will only enhance your perception of the world and your comprehension, but it will not be reflected in your combat power. When I went to find the sect leader, it was to inquire about this matter. Sure enough, I got a method called - Transformation into Mortal." Chang Qing took out a jade slip, which was the 'wedding candy' given by the handsome uncle.
"The art of mortal transformation differs greatly from the ordinary cultivator's understanding of the mortal world. Most ordinary cultivators perceive the mortal world from a high and mighty perspective, observing the myriad aspects of life. But if they don't let go of their arrogance and truly blend in with the common people, how can they truly understand the joys and sorrows of ordinary people? Drifting with the flow, without any control? This is the true mortal world."
Forget your identity as an immortal cultivator, forget your own strength, forget all your methods, and treat yourself as a mortal. A true mortal struggles in the mortal world. Once you get used to it, your understanding of the mortal world will naturally arise.
"When we feel the time is right, those insights will become the most solid foundation, helping us soar to the sky, lift the restrictions on our spiritual power, and easily reach the realm of enlightenment."
Yun Qinghan took the jade slip and said, "This method is very extreme. It transforms into a mortal, completely abandoning one's identity. Even if one encounters danger, one can only fight with this mortal body..."
Zhong Baixuan took the jade slip with a serious expression: "This unconventional move will also bring great results. The insights gained may even surpass the number nine. I think it is feasible!"
Ling Yu looked at the jade slip in his hand with a resolute look on his face: "The Central Region's geniuses are as numerous as the stars. We can't match their luck. Then we can only... go crazy or die!"
Xie Xinyu didn't even look at the jade slip, and crushed it directly: "It's even more wonderful among mortals."
"Then let's use the power of the mortals in the Central Region to meet the heroes of the world. No, not only the world, but also a hundred years later, we will let the geniuses outside the region see the style of monk Lingran!" Yun Qinghan stood up and shouted.
Several people looked at each other and laughed, with a lot of heroic spirit in their hearts. How could they admit defeat? For the sake of the immortal path, no one would back down.
But the laughter of the crowd stopped abruptly, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Changqing's mouth. Changqing just wiped it off and didn't care about this sudden change.
Facing everyone's concerned gazes, Chang Qing pretended to be relaxed and smiled slightly: "Heaven's way is against being full, and human nature is against being perfect. This is a good thing, proving that even Heaven is jealous of me. My condition is similar to Li Yuesu's, but also very different. You've seen the side effects of Li Yuesu's condition, and mine is already extremely mild."
Seeing this, they couldn't help but think of the dense array of formations on Li Yuesu's body. Seeing Changqing's stress-free appearance, they felt relieved. Changqing had told them about Li Yuesu's affairs, and they had seen it with their own eyes. Their doubts were immediately dispelled, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
After this casual chat, it was already bright outside. No one mentioned spiritual power again. In order to compete with the heroes of the world, the danger of becoming a mortal was not worth mentioning.
Chang Qing helped the statue, which had lost its spirit, to rebuild its clay body. He also wrote a couplet with his own golden blood outside the temple gate:
The mountain god appears and illuminates the sun and moon
The majestic temple dominates the world
Horizontal banner: God’s blessing
Several people said goodbye to the new mountain god and left. Although he was not given a title by imperial decree, there was no need for one. The dust demon was born in a special way. It had already contained the power of incense and vows since its birth, and was already considered half a god.
Half a moment after the few people left, a light spot that was high above and could not be disobeyed came towards Chen Yao while he was confused. Chen Yao held the talisman and thought that the threat had come. However, his body came to the outside of the temple uncontrollably. The light spot turned horizontally and turned into a golden silk book. It was the decree of the Heavenly Dao!
"The mountain deity of the past has passed away. Remembering that Dust Demon was born from incense and sacrificed himself to save others, I have appointed you as the mountain deity of this mountain. You shall live as long as the mountains and rivers, shine as brightly as the sun and the moon, and govern peace for a hundred miles. You shall follow your original aspirations, fulfill your duties, and eradicate all evil. This is the decree of Heaven."
As soon as the imperial decree was issued, all the monsters and beasts within a ten-mile radius were shocked. It was such an honor for the mountain god to be conferred by the Heavenly Dao himself!
The decree turned into a light spot again, merged with the dust monster, and transformed into a young man in clear yellow clothes. He leaned over the temple gate and kowtowed to thank heaven and earth.
The clay statue turned into stone, suddenly rising taller, and the golden light carved out the appearance of a young man, clear and bright, extremely soft. Where the mountain god temple was located, the temple suddenly turned and became magnificent. Where the tiles and beams were broken, they grew back. Where they were, the trees retreated, the temple rose taller, and a flat bluestone path led directly to the main road. The status suddenly changed.
The couplet written with golden blood instantly penetrated three-quarters of the pillar, just like a stone carving, with extraordinary spirit.
A wisp of Heavenly Dao consciousness nodded in satisfaction and drifted away. "That kid can't accept my luck, but he doesn't want to owe me anything. Perhaps the best solution is for him to be like this mountain temple. The kid wants me to shirk my debt and owe you a favor. No way!"
After Tiandao left, Chen Yao stood up. His cultivation, aided by the decree, was rapidly advancing. How many mountain gods had been appointed by Tiandao throughout history?
Chen Yao was not stupid, so he naturally knew that his ability to gain the favor of Heaven must be related to the few people who had left before, and the person with the golden blood engraved on the doorpost must be of great origin.
At this moment, he has become a mountain god. The area within a hundred miles is within his sight. He can see several people three miles away. With a thought, all the creatures in the mountains appear in his mind. It's a pity that there is only one wild horse in the hundred miles of mountains and rivers. He smiled bitterly and settled for the next best thing.
Changqing and his companions walked five or six miles and were discussing the imperial decree that had just been issued.
"This new mountain god is lucky. He has been conferred by heaven. I'm afraid he will have a bright future." Zhong Baixuan had not walked for long when the weather was hot and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He fanned himself with his sleeves, but the wind was hot and he didn't feel any coolness.
