Cultivating Immortality in a World of Chaos - Chapter 788

[Chapter 786 Divine Product]

Hua La La!

The black fish puppet retracted the black banner and swam downwards, shaking its head.

It wasn’t long before they arrived at an island in the middle of a lake.

The island in the middle of the lake is not big, but there are deep reeds.

In a reed marsh, Fang Xi’s figure was shrouded in a hazy glow and appeared gracefully.

He made a hand gesture and the black fish puppet spit out a black flag.

In the black banner, there was a loach-like soul suppressed, which had already been washed away by the evil spirit and became confused.

If Fang Xi hadn’t deliberately restrained his strength, this soul would have been “disintegrated” with just a slight shake.

“If anything happens to the Well Dragon King, the old land owner will be blamed…”

Fang Xi murmured, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.

The secret knowledge of the devil poured into the soul of the Well Dragon King, and he suddenly used the soul-searching technique!

Soon, many complete memories emerged, most of which were about a fish demon’s experience of practicing and accumulating merit.

‘This Well Dragon King is lucky. By chance, he has awakened his spiritual wisdom. He absorbs and exhales the essence of the sun and the moon and refines his demonic energy by instinct… Unfortunately, his progress is always poor. Even a demon that has practiced for a hundred years may be killed by ordinary hunters…’

‘This Well Dragon King is ambitious. He has been practicing hard, accumulating merits, and finally became the Well Dragon King…’

“Shinto rank?”

From the memory of the Well Dragon King, Fang Xi finally gained some understanding of the Shinto of this world.

It seems that for the gods, knowing these things is just instinct.

“In the Dao Court, the gods are divided into nine grades… from the lowest grade of ninth grade to the highest grade of first grade… but above the first grade, there are super grades! For example, the Emperor of the Dao Court is a super grade. Even if he ascends to the heaven, he still has a noble title.”

“What is a super-grade product? Anything above the first grade is a super-grade product!”

“In this world, perhaps only the emperor is a super-grade god, but in the heavenly court, there are many gods of the first grade. In addition, there are three grades of baron, marquis, and duke, each of which is above the first grade… If the merits of governing the world are average, the emperor of the mortal world can be granted the title of baron at most after ascending to the heavenly court. If he has made contributions to herding the people in the lower world, he can be granted the title of marquis or even duke!”

“Above the rank of Duke is the rank of Lord! Lord has a bit of the meaning of being a ruler. In the Heavenly Court Shinto system, they are all great gods!”

“Above the Lord are the Heavenly King and the Heavenly Lord…”

“And finally——The Emperor of Heaven!!”

“This is the characteristic of Shintoism. There are clear classes and the hierarchy is extremely important. The upper level has the power of life and death over the lower level. If it is within the jurisdiction, the king orders the minister to die, and the minister has to die! He cannot even complain!”

“The Well Dragon King and the Baigan Village Landlord are both unranked hairy gods, below the ninth rank, equivalent to clerks… Even so, they are enough to make the scattered gods without any real jobs extremely envious.”

“The ordination granted by the Dao Court is actually equivalent to a casual official position, which is just a rank determination… and then there is the actual position of God. Only when the two are combined can one be considered a true god!”

For example, the Daoist rank and the ordination are equivalent to the title of an official!
For example, if one passes the Jinshi exam, he or she will be awarded the Taishang Daotingdu Gongzhi Ordination, which is the ninth rank!

This also means that once one passes the imperial examination, one can immediately be appointed to a clergy position of the ninth rank or the ninth rank.

If we count according to the god of land, he must be at least a town of land to be barely worthy of the title.

Of course, it is more likely that there is still no real vacancy, and one can only wait and wait, and may even wait until death to be given a real job. However, with this Taoist seal, one’s spirit will not be forgotten after death, and one can go to the various city gods or even the earth gods to serve as a staff member, such as a civil or military judge, and then wait for promotion opportunities.

And Zhang Youde didn’t even have the ninth-grade ‘Taishang Daotingdu Gongzhi Lu’, which meant that even if there was a vacant town land position, he couldn’t be promoted… unless he gained the favor of a higher-ranking person.

Specifically speaking, the Dao talisman determines the upper limit of the gods! And the priesthood determines the current rank and authority of the gods!

In comparison, real power is naturally more important.

Because the lifespan of gods is similar to that of ghosts, both are quite long. Even with ascension and various consumptions, the number of scattered gods accumulated every year is countless.

Therefore, the position of a deity with a real job is the most sought-after one!
“This loach originally had a job as a deity, and its name was ‘Water Transfer Envoy of the Ancient Well of Niutou Mountain’…”

Fang Xi’s spiritual consciousness entered the body of the Well Dragon King inch by inch, but he did not find the gray-white Shinto talisman in its memory.

This is naturally because the Well Dragon King had been found guilty before and had been deprived of his deity status. It is unknown which god official in the City God Temple will take over his position.

Even if this ‘Niutou Mountain Ancient Well Water Transporter’ is terrible, not even of the ninth rank, he is still a god after all. He can rule over a place and enjoy the spiritual nourishment of a water vein.

If one still has some connections in the world of the living, one can send dreams to have people rebuild their golden bodies, gather faith, and enjoy the blessings of others.

At this moment, in Fang Xi’s consciousness, in the Well Dragon King’s soul, besides some thin demonic energy, there was only one talisman!
This talisman was about one foot long and three fingers wide, with strange patterns on it.

This is the Shinto text. According to rumors, it was obtained by the Emperor of Heaven through his enlightenment of the Great Dao. It is the ‘Divine Text’!
On the gray-white talisman, many divine texts are shining and colorful, forming a line of text – ‘Taishang Tongzi Lingguan talisman’!
“Sure enough… this Well Dragon King was also granted a talisman. Only by being granted a talisman can he be considered to have entered the Dao Court system and become a god… Otherwise, he will not be canonized, but will be an evil sacrifice temple, and will be the focus of the Dao Court’s crackdown!”

“‘Taishang Tongzi Lingguan Lu’… It seems that those who have passed the Tongzi test will be awarded this kind of talisman. It seems that the level of fame of this Well Dragon King is equivalent to that of Tongsheng and Daotong…”

Fang Xi couldn’t help but look down on him: “It’s not even a talent candidate, it’s equivalent to an elementary school diploma… No wonder he can’t be promoted no matter what, and he’s the first to take the blame when something goes wrong.”

His spiritual sense swept across the gray-white “Taishang Tongzi Lingguan Lu” inch by inch, and he immediately noticed several secret doors.

As a grand master of talismans, once you adapt, you will find that all talismans in the world are similar.

“The granting of the ordination certificate is the means by which the emperor of the Dao Court controls the world… It is understandable that there are secret doors. Just the few secret doors I have discovered have the effects of positioning, limiting divine power, etc…. Even if there are secret doors that can cause instant death, it may not be impossible!”

“Once you enter the Dao Court, your life and death are controlled by those above you.”

“So the Shinto talisman that the priesthood belongs to is a good thing, but this Taoist talisman… it’s better not to have it at all. But if it is like this, it will be an evil sacrifice to an obscene temple, and the Taoist court will destroy them all…”

“No… that’s not right. Is it true that there are no traps above the divine throne?”

Fang Xi looked up at the sky and suddenly felt a shock.

“In the Dao Scroll, there is a backer of the Dao Court Emperor… Who knows if there is a hidden hand of the Heavenly Emperor in this divine position?”

Although the throne of a god can be conferred by the imperial court, it can also be condensed from the incense and offerings of the people, or even created by heaven and earth, and be known as a congenital god.

But what if ‘Heaven and Earth’ is ‘Emperor of Heaven’?

Who knows if there is a secret door in the Shinto edict issued by the ‘Emperor of Heaven’?

Or rather, there must be!

“This Shinto is really full of traps…”

Fang Xi was so upset that she could not even cry: “Fortunately, I can take it back to the Earthly Immortal Realm for some research… No matter how powerful your secret door is, can you still curse me to death across a middle thousand worlds?”

This divine position in heaven cannot be used immediately after arriving in the earthly immortal world, as it will not be able to adapt to the local climate.

Therefore, more samples are needed for analysis and research…

Just above Xiankong Island is a large Shinto test base!
“This Well Dragon King is really a waste!”

Fang Xi threw the black flag away expressionlessly, and continued to be controlled by the black fish puppet, lurking in the river.

After all, there is a Taoist talisman on the Well Dragon King’s body, which will react whether he is dead or moving. Fang Xi does not want to alert the enemy at the moment.

“If this Well Dragon King still has the divine position of Water Transporter, I can take him back and study him carefully.”

“At this time, are we going to rob Zhang Youde of his position as the land god of Baigan Village?”

“Forget it, but it’s just a low-ranking priesthood… There will be more choices and opportunities in the future.”

…

county seat.

Gan Yu, exhausted from the journey, finally arrived at the gate of the county town.

At the city gate, there were patrolling soldiers, scanning the people entering the city with hawk-like eyes.

Just by meeting his gaze, Gan Yu felt a chill in his heart: “This is a tiger and wolf…”

But soon, he felt something was wrong.

Do the patrol soldiers in an ordinary county need to be so elite?

Even he, who had swallowed spiritual objects, felt a chill in his heart. These soldiers were probably ruthless characters who had killed people, seen blood, and had superb martial arts. Even on the battlefield, they were top-notch soldiers!
‘Is something going to happen?’

Gan Yu’s mind was racing, and he even had the urge to give up this autumn exam.

But… the threat from the Well Dragon King is right in front of us, so we can only queue up obediently to enter the city.

At the city gate.

Official notices and even wanted posters were posted on the city gate tower.

“The witch Zhen Li… is good at the art of taking life and worshipping evil gods… If anyone can capture them, a reward of ten gold coins will be given, regardless of whether they are dead or alive. Anyone who provides information will be rewarded with five silver coins…”

Gan Yu glanced casually and saw a warrant for arrest. With just a few strokes, the face of a woman in her thirties was vividly depicted, especially the beauty mole at the corner of her mouth, which was very impressive.

He scanned a few more times and saw several portraits, all of which were wanted criminals:
“The Taoist of Feixing Temple… violated the law with force, attacked officials of the imperial court, killed many yamen runners and constables, and fled to the ends of the earth… Regardless of whether he is dead or alive, the reward for killing him is fifty gold coins.”

“It’s actually fifty gold!”

Gan Yu was shocked. The exchange amount was five thousand silvers!

It is enough for a person to buy a house near the county town, which comes with a hundred acres of fertile land, and live a wealthy life in the future.

“Master Mei…”

He glanced at the wanted poster, as if he wanted to remember the portrait on it clearly.

This Taoist Mei only had the image of a thin old man. It was really hard to associate this person with the peerless ruthless person who attacked and killed Taoist officials and killed countless people…
