Chapter 289: The Founding Ceremony
"The Lord of Heaven is such a kind person, how could he massacre millions of people? You all misunderstood him."
"Originally, I shouldn't have told you about this. This is a test for you, the future Holy Spirits. But your crying and cursing were unbearable to hear, and it caused dissatisfaction among the higher-ups, so they asked me to tell you the truth of the matter."
“After the blood sacrifice, you will not enter the underworld, but will become living beings that protect the Immortal Dynasty and maintain the great formation. You will exist forever and be respected by all cultivators.”
Some people were moved and felt that what Yu Feng said seemed to make sense.
That’s right, how could millions of people die every year? The monk wouldn’t be so cruel.
Monks are separated from mortals, and mortals' concept of monks remains in beautiful fantasies, imagining that they can fly into the sky, perform heroic deeds, and save people from danger.
When they were chosen and trapped in a dungeon waiting to die, they came to their senses.
There are no chivalrous monks there, only man-eating evil ghosts.
Tonggu Continent is a world of cannibalism. No one wants to be eaten, and everyone wants to eat others.
But Yu Feng's words rekindled their good impression of the monks.
Perhaps what the great monk said was right. They would become eternal creatures, immortal and indestructible. They thought so, hoping for a lucky break.
In fact, they had no choice but to believe Yu Feng's words.
Rather than facing the cruel reality, they would rather see a glimmer of hope for life.
Yu Feng secretly sighed that Senior Jiang's words were so outrageous yet reasonable, and had a magical power that made people believe them.
People who don't know the truth will really believe this statement.
"I borrowed some tricks from the demons from outside the realm." Jiang Li said.
"The Jiuzhou world was once invaded by foreign demons, who tried to use demons to save people. Those killed by the demons would ascend to heaven and enjoy wealth and glory, as well as endless spiritual stones. Some people believed it."
"The demon from outside the domain?" Yu Feng had never heard Jiang Li mention it.
Jiang Li shook his head slightly without further explanation.
How he wished that this world was created by the demons from outer space.
Unfortunately, it is not.
The Blood River Patriarch used his spiritual sense to secretly observe Yu Feng's actions and was surprised to find that this young monk actually had some skills.
These foolish mortals would believe Yu Feng's words.
…
"Xuehe, how are the preparations for the ceremony going?" In the temple, Tianzun was like an indifferent god, looking down at the six shivering monks in the fusion stage below the steps.
He really enjoyed this feeling.
In fact, if he wants to maintain his dominance, the best way is to kill all those in the fusion stage. This way, he won’t have to worry about anyone breaking through to the tribulation stage.
But the problem is, if he kills all the fusion-stage cultivators, who will he rule? Summer insects cannot talk about ice. What's the point of ruling a group of ignorant spirit-transformation-stage cultivators? It would be better to rule mortals.
He is the oldest cultivator in Tonggu Continent, and the only one in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
He had never thought about becoming an immortal. He knew that the ladder to immortality had disappeared and no one could become an immortal anymore. So, why not become the king of Tonggu Continent?
He wanted to monopolize the Tonggu Continent and did not want a second person to cross the tribulation period to appear, so he collected the ancient books left behind in the continent by the immortals and destroyed them all.
In addition to this, there are the way of talismans, the way of space, and so on. He will hide if he can, and mislead if he can.
Moreover, the monks would keep their cultivation methods secret and would rather take them to the grave than pass them on to others.
This is exactly in line with Tianzun's idea of lowering the level of cultivators and making it difficult for them to cultivate to a high level.
"To reply to Tianzun, Xuehe has come up with a novel idea, which will surely shine at the ceremony."
"Oh, really? Then I'll have to look forward to it." When Tianzun saw Xuehe rarely say such words, he knew that he had something in mind.
"If you perform well, I will rank you first among those in the fusion stage."
"Thank you, God, for your kindness!" The Blood River Patriarch was extremely surprised. Yu Feng was truly his lucky star.
The other people in the fusion stage envy the old ghost Xuehe. This old guy is really lucky.
No wonder. It is said that Tianzun made his fortune by killing people, so he favors Xuehe Laogui, often takes his side, and even entrusts him with such a grand task as the founding ceremony.
After the six monks in the fusion stage left, two more monks in the fusion stage appeared.
"East Prison, West Prison, Blood River, what's the new idea?"
East Prison and West Prison are not their names, but their positions.
Tianzun trained two trusted masters in the Fusion Stage and asked them to monitor the six masters in the Fusion Stage.
The other fusion stages are unaware of their existence.
Their fighting power was mediocre during the fusion period, but they had gone very far in hiding, and no one at the same level would notice them.
"Your Majesty, Xuehe intends to brainwash millions of mortals, making them willingly die at the ceremony, and before they die, they will shout for the immortal dynasty to last forever."
"It's really interesting." Tianzun felt that this matter was what he wanted.

From that day on, Yu Feng lived and ate in the dungeon and seldom went home, even neglecting his dual cultivation technique.
After Wu Lian heard Yu Feng talk about weaving lies for mortals, Yu Feng wanted to tell her the plan so as not to make his senior sister worry. However, Wu Lian felt that if a secret was spoken out loud, it was no longer a secret and there was a risk of leakage, so she asked him not to tell it.
She believed that Yu Feng's action must have a deeper meaning and was not simply an attempt to deceive mortals.
…
A month passed in a flash, and the much-anticipated founding ceremony arrived as scheduled. Five million monks were waiting for this day to come.
There are only five million cultivators in Tonggu Continent, and 99% of them are in the Qi training stage.
Five million cultivators may seem like a lot, but compared to the cultivators in Jiuzhou, they are far too few.
Take Yuyin’s Tianyuan Imperial City as an example. There are eight million cultivators in Tianyuan Imperial City, and it would still be impossible to cram all of them into Tianyuan Imperial City.
Tianzun said that he was establishing an immortal dynasty, but in fact, he was just building a city, and it would be more accurate to call it an immortal city.
The altar made of top-grade spiritual stones was dazzling, and the Heavenly Venerable, wearing an imperial robe, came on stage.
This was the first time Yu Feng met Tianzun.
Arrogant, noble, and disrespectful, this is Yu Feng's first impression.
It was hard for Yu Feng to imagine that although both of them were in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, the temperaments of Tianzun and Bai Hongtu were so different.
Yu Feng felt that Bai Hongtu was better because he was humorous and approachable.
"That's the Tribulation Crossing Stage. It looks so powerful."
"It turns out there really is a Tribulation Period. I thought it was just a rumor."
"Who said it wasn't? Before this, I didn't even know if there was a fusion period."
The monks were whispering to each other, as it was the first time they saw a monk in the Tribulation Crossing Stage.
Given their status, this might be the only chance they have to see the Heavenly Lord in their lifetime, so they cherish it very much.
Tianzun took the stage, and people's hearts beat with every step he took.
People's hearts uncontrollably followed the rhythm of Tianzun.
The Heavenly Lord climbed to the highest point and said in a loud voice: "Today, I, on behalf of Heaven, will establish the Immortal Dynasty here. The name of the Dynasty is 'Sheng'. From now on, you are the subjects of the Holy Immortal Dynasty!"
The six people who were in the fusion stage in public and the two people who were in the fusion stage in secret knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "The Heavenly Venerable is immortal and invincible in the world. We bow to the Heavenly Venerable."
Upon seeing this, the other monks also knelt down and shouted.
"The Heavenly Lord is immortal and invincible. We bow to the Heavenly Lord."
The whistling sound of worship rang out, resounding throughout heaven and earth. It could be heard thousands of miles away and was extremely shocking.
