Using the paper effigy as an old immortal, Li Changshou specially corrected his image of Taibai Jinxing and added some elegant whiskers.
That way, he could use the stroking of his beard to enhance his body language when he did not want to talk.
After leaving the Grand White Palace, there were figures bowing with their heads lowered everywhere.
ME Li Changshou summoned the Heavenly General who was on duty in front of the palace and said warmly,
“I’ll go to the Jade Pool to find Her Highness Long Ji and ask her to bring people to the South-Heaven Gate to make preparations.”
Although Long Ji was his disciple, Li Changshou would add the word “Her Highness” when he mentioned about her to others while she was absent.
Later, during the Heaven-Worshiping Feast established by the Shang Kingdom, the Heavenly Courts would naturally show some phenomena and auspicious signs. It was just nice for Long Ji to train.
Speaking of the Shang Kingdom, Li Changshou subconsciously thought of the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.
However, the Great God-Conferment Tribulation was only using the chaos at the end of the Shang Dynasty to cause the karma of the human race to fall back on the human race.
The true meaning of the establishment of the Shang Dynasty was still the construction of the system that separated immortals and mortals.
That was the foundation of Li Changshou’s self-establishing of the Great Dao of Equalization. It was also a form of cultivation.
Although Li Changshou had not spent much effort on that matter over the years, he had only made arrangements in the beginning.
However, under the secret push of the Heavenly Dao and the protection of Big Sister Kong Xuan, the Shang Clan had completed several transformations. They had satisfied Li Changshou’s requirements for the “foundation of mortals” in the Three Realms system that he had designed.
Immortals, ghosts, and demons.
Mortals were protected by the Heavenly Dao. Immortals and gods guarded the Heavenly Dao. Demons did not mess with mortals. The Six Paths of Reincarnation were orderly.
That was the order of the Three Realms that Li Changshou had personally pushed.
Li Changshou had his reasons for doing that. In his opinion, he was not noble at all.
It was for his own cultivation.
He thought about how he was willing to die after Pangu established the Heaven and Earth. Then, he thought about the boldness of the Dao Ancestor to protect the Primordial World and stop Senior Lang. He thought about the small matter that he had done…
It was insignificant and not worth mentioning.
IT Yes, that’s what I’ll think later. Don’t think about Senior Lang for no reason. I’ll always keep the words of praising the Dao Ancestor in my heart. Perhaps my Golden Body of Merit can still be saved.
Along the way, he was asked about his well-being. When he arrived in front of the Lingxiao Hall, he “coincidentally” met General Dongmu, who looked worried and had a lot on his mind.
Li Changshou understood and took the initiative to stop. When General Dongmu approached, he smiled and said, “General Dongmu, what’s wrong? Why are you frowning?”
General Dongmu squeezed an ugly smile and sighed softly.
“Changgeng, is the Western Sect really…”
Li Changshou praised silently in his heart.
IT As expected of an old minister of the Heavenly Courts. He has not let his guard down for nearly a hundred years. He is indeed a role model of our generation.
“General Dongmu, you don’t have to be so worried,” Li Changshou said seriously. “You just have to accompany His Majesty often. How is it dangerous?”
“Ah,” General Dongmu said via voice transmission. “When I think of the might of the Saint, I feel a lingering fear.”
Li Changshou asked, “Has the Western Sect been doing anything recently?”
ME “It completely matches what Changgeng said previously,” General Dongmu said. “The Western Sect has begun to suppress the Immortal Union and spread rumors about the Heavenly Courts everywhere in the Middle Continent…
I’m just short of it.”
Li Changshou pondered for a while. It seemed that he had overestimated General Dongmu’s Dao heart.
At this rate, if any demons appeared, it would be a little self-defeating.
Li Changshou said, “General Dongmu, let’s enter the Lingxiao Hall first. Don’t let His Majesty wait for too long. General Dongmu, wait for me for a few days. I’ll visit you at your residence later. Let’s drink and talk.”
General Dongmu’s smile finally became much gentler. He bowed to Li Changshou and extended his left and right hands to invite him into the Lingxiao Hall.
It was none other than…
At that moment, the Heavenly Courts was flourishing. General Dongmu and Tai Bai were harmonious.
Putting aside the fact that Li Changshou had entered the Lingxiao Treasure Hall and reported to the Jade Emperor about the establishment of the South Continent’s Shang Nation today.
In the Jade Pool, the Heavenly General of the Great White Palace hurriedly reported. A fairy sent a letter to the Immortal Pavilion where Long Ji was cultivating.
Long Ji, who was originally standing by the window and staring at the mirror-like water surface, quickly walked to the dressing table. She looked at the makeup that she had packed a few days ago and pursed her lips with the essence of the sunset.
Her residence was one of the most elegant places in the Jade Pool. There were thirty-six mirror-like treasure pools behind the Immortal Pavilion. Not far away was the warm pavilion where the Queen Mother lived.
Long Ji was in a daze just now. It was not because she had thought of something. It was purely because she was in a daze when she had nothing to do.
After a while, Long Ji walked out slowly in a grayish-white, gilded, and wide-sleeved dress. Her pair of wide sleeves was an auspicious image of an immortal crane. The grayish-white dress hid golden and phoenix patterns. It was also a protective numinous treasure.
Her master asked her to dress up well today. She naturally dressed up meticulously. Her long hair was tied up at her temples, making her neck look slender. There were two light red pendants hanging on her earlobes. It was like the finishing touch, making people attracted to her figure and appearance at a glance.
They rode a cloud for less than a few kilometers. The two groups of fairies arranged by the Queen Mother carried flower baskets and bowed to Long Ji. They followed behind Long Ji and headed towards the South-Heaven Gate.
That was the Heavenly Courts’ award ceremony today.
When Long Ji and dozens of fairies arrived at the South-Heaven Gate, they immediately saw their teacher and could not wait to speed up their traveling.
However, following that, Long Ji saw the Heavenly General leading the troops today. He instantly puffed out his chest and raised his head, forming a nearly perfect figure. His face was solemn, his eyebrows were clear, and his breathing was balanced. He was labeled as “dignified”.
That Heavenly General was undoubtedly Quan Dong.
There were two figures standing behind Quan Dong and Li Changshou. On the left was the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy and the Second General of the Great White Palace, Ao Yi.
On the right was the most unrestrained child of the Heavenly Courts. He was the Deputy Commander who was on the verge of being removed from the ranks of the Heavenly River Navy. If he did not do well in the Heavenly Courts, he would have to go home and inherit the “family” chain corporation, Bian Zhuang.
After Ao Yi transcended the Golden Immortal Tribulation, he became even more heroic. When he was in human form, he had grown two inches. However, his face was still that of a handsome young man. At that moment, he was dressed in armor and holding a sword. He looked majestic.
At that moment, Bian Zhuang was standing there obediently. He did not dare to breathe loudly, afraid that he would be suddenly called out by the Lord Star Lord.
He had been thinking about the effects of the “live broadcast” every day and did not think about cultivation. After so many years, his cultivation speed could only be considered above average among the Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Courts. In the past, he had Ao Yi as a comparison, and now, he had the pressure of the Golden Roc. Bian Zhuang was extremely weak.
He felt guilty.
The Golden Roc went to help the Immortal Alliance, which had been in a disadvantageous situation recently. Li Changshou did not summon him back this time.
Long Ji rode a cloud and arrived. She bowed and greeted with a lark-like voice. “Long Ji greets Teacher and Marshal Quan.”
Quan Dong nodded with a smile. Li Changshou said warmly, “It’s been hard on you today. Follow behind Marshal Quan. Later, when the Shang Nation sacrifices to the heavens, we will spread the blessings of the Heavenly Courts.”
“Yes.”
Long Ji and the fairies behind her agreed in unison. They followed behind Li Changshou and Quan Dong. A large number of Heavenly Soldiers protected them from left and right. The group flew out of the South-Heaven Gate.
More than ten paper effigies that were scattered everywhere scanned with their immortal senses. Half of the South Continent was projected in Li Changshou’s heart.
Now, the role of the Sea God Sect was getting smaller and smaller. The income of the merit from incense offerings was getting slower and slower. It was as if the Heavenly Dao was limiting it. It was obvious that it wanted to continue blocking his Golden Body of Merit.
Li Changshou was also interested in finding an opportunity to give the Sea God Sect to the dragon race.
It would be best if a dragon from the dragon race committed a crime and the Heavenly Courts punished him. Then, they would give the dragon race benefits and transfer the Sea God Sect to change the fate of the dragon race.
It was an ordinary torture.
The South Continent was too big. It was so big that the human emperors could not really “unify the world”.
It was the same for the Shang Nation today.
They rose from the east of the South Continent. After 200 years of encroaching on the west, annexing, and conquering, they occupied the middle and prosperous area of the South Continent. At that moment, their territory only occupied a quarter of the South Continent.
Under his rule, there were countless living beings. There were as many mortals as there were smoke clouds. There were no cities or armors.
Today, the Shang Tribe had reestablished the Shang Kingdom. Hundreds of envoys from the various countries had sent gifts to pay tribute to the new human emperor.
From the perspective of mortals, the power of the Shang Nation was unstoppable. It could destroy any city or country at will. The only thing that prevented them from marching was the distance.
In the eyes of ordinary Qi Refinement cultivators, the Shang Nation had gathered the power of the Human Emperor. It was supported by the Heavenly Courts and could be considered the “Burning Incense Divine Kingdom” of the Heavenly Courts.
Only those who could truly experience the power of the world would know that the Shang Nation was extraordinary. The destiny of the human emperor was also affecting the operation of the Heavenly Dao.
However, the Shang Nation was not entirely beneficial.
The first was the system of the Shang Nation.
Shang was a small country in the East Continent. Under Li Changshou’s arrangements and the protection of the Heavenly Dao, they had reached their current state. However, their own system still retained the King, nobles, and slaves.
The hard work of the Shang Kingdom mostly came from the prisoners of war. The mortals in the country were also divided into three ranks, upper, middle, and lower. Slaves were not ranked.
Compared to the cities in the South Continent that had developed and evolved on their own since ancient times, most of the conquests of the Shang Tribe were considered barbaric conquests.
However, it was precisely because of this system that was strictly hierarchical. Coupled with the only promotion channel—the military, the Shang Nation’s army maintained a stronger combat power and could quickly advance to the central region of the South Continent.
Under the push of the Heavenly Dao, the Shang Tribe would also make a series of reforms that would adapt to the current territory.
Of course, the Shang Nation also had a more “enlightened” side compared to the other tribes.
The ancestors of the Shang Kingdom sacrificed to the world and did not sacrifice specific gods.
There was no such thing as men being superior to women in the Shang Nation. Women could enter the military and lead troops to battle. Although the ministers were mostly men, the priests and fortune-tellers who had a higher influence in the Shang Nation were all pure women.
Among the nobles of the Shang Kingdom, there were many who regarded women as their “parents”.
This point actually originated from the worship of an ancestor of the Shang Clan.
That’s right. It was Youqin Xuanya, who had saved Qi and his mother back then.
The King, the Divine Power, and the influential officials formed a certain restrictive relationship. From there, they could ensure the clarity of the Shang Nation and control such a vast territory.
Li Changshou saw that and did not want to comment.
Isn’t it a little too much to criticize the slave and nobility system in the Primordial World?
Everything had to develop in an orderly manner. The Heavenly Dao had arranged and advanced all of these. He only needed to do some appropriate things at the appropriate nodes.
By the time they arrived, the Heavenly Courts had already arrived above the extremely magnificent capital of the Shang Nation. They did not reveal their whereabouts.
There was a square platform built in the capital of the Shang Kingdom. The platform was more than a thousand feet tall and was in the shape of a ladder. Every level was filled with the nobles and generals of the Shang Kingdom. The four wide roads and the roofs around the platform were filled with mortals.
On the plains outside the city, a large number of slaves who had been temporarily expelled from the city were also squatting obediently under the surveillance of the army and waiting for the ceremony in the city to end.
The Black Bird Flags of the Shang Kingdom floated everywhere outside the city. Countless mortals remained silent.
The Jade Emperor’s incarnation, Quan Dong, sent a voice transmission to Li Changshou.
“Changgeng, mortals are foolish. The path of education is long.”
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission and replied, “Your Majesty, you should take your time. The Heavenly Courts is located in the Primordial World. Your Majesty, you have the heart to benefit all living beings. The human race will be at ease.”
“You even took the opportunity to teach me a lesson.”
Quan Dong smiled and shook his head. Li Changshou hurriedly sent a voice transmission to explain that he did not have that intention.
In the west, at the top of the platform, the daughter of the priest, who was wearing a ghost mask, finished the entire dance of the offering ceremony. In the north of the platform, the master of the Shang Kingdom, who was dressed in a black luxurious robe and holding a scepter, walked up the steps.
Soup.
Li Changshou sent a voice transmission. “Your Majesty, I’ll attack now.”
Quan Dong smiled and nodded.
Then, Li Changshou waved the horsetail whisk in his hand. A golden light flew over from the clear sky and landed on Shang Tang Tianyi’s head, illuminating the entire platform.
The corners of Tianyi’s mouth curled into a smile. He continued to climb the stairs calmly, his expression even more dignified.
Li Changshou attacked repeatedly on the cloud. The phenomena that he had prepared previously appeared one after another.
Lightning appeared in the four directions, and the shadows of the five gods appeared.
When Tianyi arrived at the highest point of the sacrificial platform, he raised his scepter with both hands and bowed.
Kong Xuan stood on the city wall of the city. He was dressed in a light white dress embroidered with a seven-colored divine bird. He pointed his white hand forward and the phantom of a divine bird and phoenix appeared in the sky. It circled above the city for three weeks and rushed into the sky.
The sky was filled with colorful streams of light. Beams of immortal light descended from the clouds. The thirty-six fairies circled and danced. Long Ji stepped on a cloud and slowly landed in the sky, bestowing the Human Emperor’s Seal that was cast by the Heavenly Courts.
Countless mortals outside the city exclaimed in admiration…
In the Heavenly Courts, the Lingxiao Treasure Hall trembled continuously. Golden light shone everywhere in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court.
The five continents were filled with auspicious clouds. Golden light scattered everywhere, and all living beings were silent.
The Fire Cloud Cave of the Middle Continent revealed a monstrous destiny that was red and purple. The foundation of the human race’s destiny was even more stable.
From then on, the mortal human emperors of the South Continent were ordered by the heavens. The mortals were completely integrated into the Heavenly Dao system. The South Continent was protected by the power of the Heavenly Dao. Mortals needed to respect the Heavenly Courts, and the incense offerings of the Heavenly Courts flourished.
Li Changshou had done many things on that matter, but most of them had gone with the flow and acted according to the script of the Heavenly Dao to obtain some merit for himself.
The situation would not change but the small details could be changed.
Li Changshou had actually done a few small things that affected the Shang Nation’s current situation.
Due to Youqin Xuanya’s influence, the status of women in the Shang Nation was now equal to that of men.
Abolishing human sacrifices and making the Shang Tribe use livestock for sacrifices in the early days was also considered one.
It was just a small matter.
…
“Ah.”
“Ah.”
Outside the Shang Nation’s capital, on the top of a small mountain, two figures were hiding in a hidden array formation and looking at the gorgeous light figures of the mortal city.
Jiu Jiu was dressed in a short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt. She sat on the stool and supported her chin with both hands. She was in a daze.
He should be in the clouds.
The Seven Emotions girl at the side was dressed in a colorful dress. She imitated Jiu Jiu and sighed with her chin in her hand.
“You’re learning from me again.” Jiu Jiu pursed her lips. “Who are you now?”
“Little Love!”
The Seven Emotions girl answered with a grin. “Little Grief will only come out in the next two hours. Don’t be anxious.”
“What’s the hurry?” Jiu Jiu muttered.
“I’m in a hurry to complain.”
“Pui!”
Jiu Jiu rolled her eyes. “I’m very happy. Why should I complain? However… Ah, Mr. Bai said that he might appear today. I won’t be able to see him anymore.”
The Seven Emotions girl tapped her cheek with her fingers and asked in confusion, “Aren’t you very close? Can’t you just meet him?”
“He was in seclusion previously. How could he have a chance?”
Jiu Jiu snorted. “When I attack, it will be easy! The Heavenly Courts’ gods of authority will be nothing!”
The young girl pondered for a while and nodded in approval. “That’s reasonable. After all, I have Aunt-Master’s domineering aura.”
“Of course!” Jiu Jiu waved her hand and fell into a daze.
“Hey, hey, can we do that again?”
Jiu Jiu blinked. “Which one?”
The Seven Emotions girl immediately put on a fierce expression. “Those who snatch my Disciple-Nephew from me! Wu! Wu! Wu!”
Jiu Jiu’s face was flushed. She raised her hand and pressed the young girl’s mouth. She was flustered and exasperated. She gritted her teeth and the two of them fought in the array formation.
Perhaps the “love” of the Seven Emotions incarnations accidentally revealed some Dao runes, but the yearning in Jiu Jiu’s heart was stirred. Soon, she was dejected and her Dao heart fell.
As if sensing that a large crack had appeared in Jiu Jiu’s Dao heart, a faint shadow swam quickly on the ground. It quietly floated to the top of the mountain and crawled towards Jiu Jiu’s shadow.
At that moment, Li Changshou, who was sitting in the sky, frowned slightly. He looked at the mountain peak and his eyes flickered. The array formation could not stop him at all. His gaze landed on the shadow.
He naturally knew that Jiu Jiu was there. He was also prepared to greet Aunt-Master Jiu after he was done with his business.
He was also puzzled as to why Jiu Jiu could establish such a deep friendship with the Seven Emotions reincarnations.
However, that was all in the future.
That shadow was like the shadow of a mental demon. It was quite similar to the situation when Youqin Xuanya encountered the mental demon in the Immortal Du Sect a long time ago.
Li Changshou flicked his horsetail whisk and was about to shoot out a ray of golden light to trigger the power of the Heavenly Punishment to shatter the mental demon.
However, before Li Changshou could attack, the young girl beside Jiu Jiu exclaimed softly. She clapped her hands and pulled a black shadow out from behind Jiu Jiu.
“What is this?”
The Seven Emotions reincarnation revealed some curiosity. Her beautiful eyes turned into seven colors.
