Chapter 998: The Edict of Heaven and Earth! The Great God of the Future [Second Update (Updated Update)
)】
"Brother, help me~"
Before the kid arrived, Chu Chen could already see the situation outside with his eyes.
I saw the little ghost stepping on the auspicious clouds and rushing towards him, his face full of panic, as if there was a huge beast behind him, ready to bite anyone at any time.
The golden eyes of fire shine brightly.
Immediately, Chu Chen saw a scene that was invisible to the naked eye and ordinary spiritual eyes.
As the little devil said, at this moment, it's on fire and smoking
Above its head, a ball of divine fire rose blazingly, emitting a dazzling divine light that was dazzling.
What is even more frightening is that behind the little ghost, the "green smoke" that blocks the sky and the sun keeps chasing it, turning into a dragon and a python, trying to get into its body.
"This is the power of incense!"
Chu Chen recognized at a glance what the "green smoke" chasing the little ghost was.
Obviously, the consequences of the little devil's "high effort" came.
After the little ghost's magical power of "mediating disasters" was revealed to the world, the "spirit image" of the little ghost with one hand to deal with disasters and one hand to bring down disasters became widely spread, making him famous as the "little fairy boy who relieves misfortunes and eliminates disasters"
Throughout the eight states in the southwest, the number of believers increased dramatically, incense came from all directions, and the power of incense increased dramatically.
It’s too late to say it, but it will be soon!
In just a few moments, the little devil broke into the study room of the Du Guan compound, crying and crying:
"Senior brother, save me, there is a fire burning me!"
"Friend Zhen Luck, there is no need to worry. This is a good thing. The divine fire is ignited and you have become a god. A serious god has completely broken away from the category of a grass-headed wild god!"
Lizhou City God Duancang smiled and comforted the panicked kid, then looked at Chu Chen and congratulated him:
"Congratulations, just now, I was just about to congratulate fellow Taoist that your fairy boy is going to be successful. I never expected that the good news would come so quickly."
Chu Chen suddenly realized.
It turns out that the good news that the city god Duan Cang said was this.
However, after hearing the "good news", Chu Chen's face showed no joy at all. Instead, he felt quite depressed and frowned:
"Little devil, didn't Senior Brother tell you not to integrate the power of incense and light the divine fire? Did you turn a deaf ear to my words?"
"Uuuuuu~ Senior brother, you have wronged me."
The three-inch little radish boy was rolling around on the small cloud bed, looking like he was about to extinguish the divine fire, his face was full of innocence:
"I didn't combine the power of incense and incense, they came by themselves."
Chu Chen was a little angry: "You won't resist. What do you do with all your magic power?"
The kid had a grimace on his face: "The incense has too much mental power, and I can't suppress it anymore. They are drilling into me like crazy, and I can't stop them. For some reason, smoke starts coming from the top of my head."
Duan Cang, the city god of the city on the side, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but couldn't for a long time.
Lizhou has a vast territory and is sparsely populated. Its population is considered backward among the eight southwest states and even among the forty seven states of the Celestial Dynasty.
Even the incense and telekinesis power contributed by the locals in Lizhou could not maintain the normal operation of the Lizhou City God's Mansion. Every month, they had to receive subsidies from the heaven and earth to make ends meet, and their lives were very tight.
As the city god of the state, he worries about the power of incense and telepathy every day.
But now, after listening to the conversation between Chu Chen and the little ghost boy's master and servant, the look on Zhoucheng God's face was so wonderful that his face was almost distorted.
These gods think in the day and dream at night, and their minds are filled with the power of incense. However, some people are chased and fed by the power of incense in the sky, but they think it is too much.
The world is so different than this.
"Brother, what should we do~"
The little kid looked frustrated and a little worried.
"this"
When Chu Chen heard this, he fell silent for a moment.
This, perhaps, is really not the fault of the little devil.
As the reputation of "resolving disasters" and "mediating disasters" spread far and wide, the number of followers of the little ghost boy skyrocketed, and the power of incense and telepathy changed from quantitative to qualitative changes. It seemed to be beyond the control of the little ghost boy and exceeded his expectations. The situation has undergone amazing changes.
.
Now, if the little devil is allowed to ignite the divine fire, the position of the "little fairy boy who can relieve misfortune and bring good luck" will be stable.
At that time, the little ghost will become a "human god" in the true sense.
At this thought, Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He turned around and saw the city god Duancang, and immediately asked for advice:
"Fellow Daoist Duan, how do you put out the divine fire?"
"What, Fellow Daoist Chu, you said you want to put out the divine fire?"
The already twisted face of Zhoucheng God Duan Cang trembled several times, with a look of disbelief on his face:
"Fellow Daoist Chu, do you want to extinguish the divine fire? This is divine fire descending from the sky. It is the most noble spirit besides the innate spirits!"
Chu Chen nodded slightly.
Of course he knows.
Generally speaking, gods enjoy the worship of all people. Behind immortality, there are many obligations and responsibilities, and gods do not do it casually.
For example, the duty of the city god of a state, a county, and a city is to protect the land and protect the living beings. If he fails to fulfill his obligations and cannot shoulder his responsibilities, the Immortal Court will hold him accountable, and he will be subject to many constraints, making it difficult to be truly free and at ease.
.
However, despite this, countless practitioners are still extremely yearning to become gods, and they continue to do so.
You don’t want to become a god, but some people want to become gods.
Countless people practice meritorious deeds and use various connections to dream of being granted the title of Immortal Court, lighting the sacred fire, becoming a god, and working hard and making contributions to the lives of a certain place.
But now, the situation of the little devil is a little different.
His "divine fire" was not enshrined by the Immortal Court, nor was it ignited by his own practice of the "Secret Techniques of the Shinto", but fell from the sky and was enshrined by heaven and earth.
"Sacred fire descending from the sky" is an extremely superior way to "enlighten the Tao" in Shinto practice, and is much larger than the "Original Sacrifice" card of the Immortal Court.
Just as the city god Duancang said, the "divine fire descending from the sky" the little ghost boy is seeing is extremely special. It is a decree from heaven and earth. Once he becomes a god, he will not bear many responsibilities and will be very carefree. He is second only to the innate gods.
.
Chu Chen vaguely guessed that the little devil's chance of encountering the "divine fire descending from the sky" was probably related to the killing of the Litian Witch God, which was a good fortune.
However, despite this, he still felt uneasy.
He knew that the little devil really didn't have the ability to control the fate of disasters, and he was very vain.
Although the current situation is good, if there is a backlash in the future, it will be a big trouble.
He has the ability to arrange a better and more secure path to immortality for the little devil, so he naturally does not want to let the little devil take risks and get too involved with the human world.
"Is there any way to cut off fellow Taoist?"
The little kid also looked extremely excited.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether it becomes a god or not. It is just worried that after becoming a human god, its bond with the human world will deepen, which will affect its ascension. The senior brother will definitely be able to ascend in the future, and it does not want to be separated from his senior brother.
"Yes, City God, please help me quickly, I don't want to become a god!"
"this"
At this moment, the face of Zhoucheng God Duancang became more and more distorted, and even his mind became a little distorted at this moment.
How many people want it.
There are still people who abandon them like worn-out shoes.
Duan Cang's expression became more and more strange, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart, and he stopped talking.
Finally, he suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and slowly uttered a sentence:
"It's too late. Once the seal of heaven and earth takes hold, the position of fellow Taoist Zhenyun will be stable and there is no possibility of reversal."
Just as he was talking, the divine fire on the little devil's body disappeared, and then the divine light on his body shone brightly, showing great majesty.
Vaguely, there was actually an extremely strong divine power exuding.
At a glance, the divine power has actually reached the fifth level.
In other words, the little devil has become the fifth-grade god of the Eight Zheng'er Classics.
"Eh~"
"Brother, what should we do now?"
"It's okay, senior brother will be there for everything."
"Uh-huh!"
When Chu Chen and the little kid saw this scene, they felt that they could not turn the situation around, and they all sighed, looking like they were hopeless.
The city god of the city, Duan Cang: "."
Before I knew it, another three days had passed.
The two major shamans of Litian are deeply hidden in the Litianzi Temple. The Litian Ghosts and Gods Department and the Lizhou Supervision Department interrogated the shamans from Litian Shifang Conglin and Miaozhu, but no clues were found.
It seems that, as Litian Witch God said, as his last resort, as long as he doesn't want to be exposed, no one can find him.
This result made Chu Chen and everyone in Lizhou very regretful.
There is a golden mountain in front of you, but you can't find it, which makes everyone feel itchy and have trouble sleeping and eating.
Fortunately, although the two major disciples from the Tianzi Temple have not been found, the rewards from the Celestial Court are coming one after another.
This time, the witch hunt was a complete victory, and the Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty was very generous. Most of the spoils captured were used as rewards, and even some were subsidized by the national treasury and the Immortal Court Treasure House.
Lizhou Prefecture, the State Department of Ghosts and Gods, and the Supervision Department, all officials, immortals, ghosts and gods received extremely generous rewards.
Of course, those who died and were transferred away during the "Witch Suppression War" also received corresponding rewards and good results.
Among them, the most eye-catching one is undoubtedly Bailu Xianweng, the former governor of the state.
Although Bailu Xianweng has only been in charge of Lizhou Ghosts and Gods Division for two and a half years, his contribution and achievements are obvious to all and no one can erase them.
Rumor has it that when Chu Chen killed the Li Tian Witch God and caused the golden light to roll hundreds of miles away, the White Deer Immortal in the underworld also had merit and golden light came down to help him reshape his soul body and create mysteries.
Immediately after the incident, Immortal Court immediately expressed its merits to Heaven and Earth as the "White Deer Immortal" and was granted the title of a third-grade god in Heaven and Earth. It was no small feat.
The number of "gods" in this imperial edict is the number of gods in the Dachang Dynasty. Generally speaking, heaven and earth will definitely not refuse this kind of title.
Even if there is a great god in heaven and earth who appreciates the White Deer Immortal, in a word, maybe he will be exempted from the title of god.
In other words, the White Deer Immortal attained enlightenment decades in advance and created a mysterious world.
"Thank you very much, Chu Duguan, for avenging my Guanzhu and showing your merits to his old man!"
"It's your duty, fellow Taoists, so there's no need to be polite!"
In the Lizhou Capital Administrative Courtyard, all the Taoist priests from Xianlu Temple bowed to Chu Chen and saluted. They came all the way from the imperial capital to Lizhou to express their gratitude.
Chu Chen smiled and introduced a group of Taoists into the Du Guan compound to entertain them.
During the banquet, everyone in the Xianlu audience spoke highly of Chu Chen. He said nice words one after another, and those who praised him were a little carried away.
Chu Chen secretly felt funny.
In fact, he was not surprised at all that the Xianlu audience came, and he knew their true purpose.
The "Witch Suppression" is over, which means that the [Purple Light Pill Heavenly Seal] has returned to its original owner.
Chu Chen is not someone who covets other people's master's magic treasures. At the banquet, he simply handed over the [Purple Light Pill Heavenly Seal] to Xianlu Temple and let them leave happily with the master's treasure.
"Hmph~ This group of people are afraid that you, senior brother, will detain the purple light and use the heart of a villain to judge the heart of a gentleman!"
The little kid pursed his lips, feeling very unhappy.
"Hahaha~ It's human nature!"
Chu Chen waved his hands and didn't take it to heart at all.
Xianlu Temple no longer has the "White Deer Immortal" in charge, and its reputation has plummeted. Naturally, it attaches great importance to the top magic weapon [Purple Light Dan Tianyin], and is nervous and sensitive. It is completely understandable.
For the sake of "Brother Bailu", he would naturally not be as familiar with the people of Xianlu Temple.
In this witch-suppression war, the people who gained the most were, apart from the White Deer Immortal, he and the little ghost boy.
In the past two days, the Immortal Court's decree was issued.
Mr. Ming Jing really responded positively to the little devil's request for an official position, and he actually promoted the little devil.
Originally, the little ghost boy was only a fourth-level master. This time, he was promoted to two levels in a row, and was promoted to a third-level master. He was awarded the fourteenth-level cultivation instrument (the third-level master), was granted the title of [Mage Dongyuan], and was given a set of high-gong Taoist robes of the third-level master, with various rewards.
Six stones of high-quality spiritual incense and three hundred immortal tributes.
This is not over yet.
After the little ghost's immortal decree, the second immortal decree followed.
The second level of immortality decreed that the little ghost be the official deity of the country, a fifth-level deity, and he was titled "The Little Fairy Boy who relieves disasters and brings good luck".
This imperial edict means that Xiaoguizi has jumped from a local folk god to a national and official deity. He has jumped out of the category of Lizhou and can develop followers all over the world.
Regardless of whether he is from Lizhou or not, as long as he believes in him, he can worship him. This undoubtedly gives the little ghost the potential to become a great god across several states. It can be said that the path to god is bright, and he will go further and further on the road to becoming a great god.
Of course, Chu Chen and the little devil didn't think this was good news and were very worried.
In addition to the little ghost boy, Chu Chen’s fairy edict also came.
The first immortal decree was to remove Chu Chen from the concurrent position of [Lizhou Supervisor].
This incident was expected by Chu Chen and was not surprising at all.
As the governor of the state, he also serves as the supervisor of Lizhou, which is a special situation. Now that the witch hunt is over, it is naturally difficult for him to monopolize two important errands.
He was not disappointed to be exempted from the job of "Supervisory Envoy of Lizhou", but the reward from the immortal decree was a great surprise to him.
[The elder of the central presbytery of Xianting, Chu Chen, the governor of Lizhou, has made great contributions in suppressing witches. He is hereby rewarded with a thousand immortal tributes, five million jade coins, admission to the Xianting treasury, the qualification of Yibao from the imperial treasury, and three other treasures.
.]
Not to mention anything else, there are one thousand immortal tributes, five million jade coins, three treasures to choose from the national treasury and the immortal court treasure house.
Previously, the losses incurred during the three years of fines were recouped several times.
Of course, to Chu Chen today, these rewards are nothing. What really surprises him is the "Yibao" qualification of the Immortal Court Treasury and the imperial treasury.
As the name suggests, with the "Yi Bao" qualification, Chu Chen can enter the highest level imperial treasury, the Immortal Court Treasury, at any time, and exchange what he has.
Even though it is just a "Yibao" qualification, it is actually an extremely rare opportunity.
When one reaches the third level of cultivation, the treasures required for transforming magic weapons and top-level magic weapons are becoming more and more rare and rare. It is difficult to collect them with one's own strength or the resources of the master. However, the imperial treasury and the treasury of the Immortal Court can be said to be
It is the largest treasure house in the world, it is all-encompassing, has numerous treasures, and is updated at any time.
Being able to enter the two major treasure houses "Yi Bao" is a great opportunity for any upper-level third-level monk with great supernatural powers.
Under normal circumstances, only those who become important ministers of the state can have this honor.
Chu Chen made an exception this time.
"Senior brother, let's go to the Litian Dharma Altar and communicate with the two treasure houses to choose the treasure?"
The little kid couldn't help but ask.
"Not urgent!"
Chu Chen waved his hand and was not in a hurry to communicate with the treasury of Immortal Court and the treasury of the imperial court.
A few days ago, after slaying the Litian Witch God, his meritorious deeds suddenly exceeded the 10,000 mark, and he became qualified to comprehend Lei Ancestor's supreme magical power [Five Thunders of the Ten Directions, Golden Light, Fire Cloud].
He was more interested in this top-level lightning-killing method than choosing treasures.
Apart from anything else, to practice this magical power, you may need to use some precious treasures. It is undoubtedly the best choice to choose the treasures after comprehending them.
"Little devil, please stabilize your divine power. Senior brother, go to seclusion for some cultivation first."
