Chapter 452: The Pocket, the Lunar Phantom Fire
"King Tonghui wishes to offer the incense of 100,000 people annually, the Gusu Grand Ceremony, and the Zhengshen Temple as gifts to the Venerable God in order to obtain the water veins of Wu County."
"One hundred thousand incense offerings will be delivered soon. If the deity agrees, your name will be included in the New Year's Day Gusu Grand Sacrifice. Within a month, a palace and temple will be built for you outside Gusu City. King Wu will be invited to personally offer incense and worship you, thus spreading your name."
The Taihu God jumped up in frustration, looked at the Jinting Great Immortal, and asked, "How could the Five-Directions God control the New Year's Day festival and build imperial palaces and temples? And how could he possibly attract the incense of 100,000 people?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "It's easiest to raise 100,000 incense offerings. The Five Gods' faith is spread all over Jiangnan, not just Wujun. While 100,000 incense offerings is not a small number, it won't break their bones. As for the New Year's Day sacrifices and the construction of imperial palaces and temples, that depends on what the deity thinks."
These three gifts are gifts on the surface, but in fact they demonstrate the power of the Five Gods.
The 100,000 incense sticks represent their popularity. The Gusu Grand Sacrifice is the endorsement of the Gusu God. The imperial palaces and temples are the endorsement of the King of Wu.
If the Taihu God were perceptive enough, he would have known that the entire Wu Commandery was completely blocked by the Five Gods. From the gods to the ghosts, they were all under their control.
Looking at the appearance of the Taihu God, the Immortal Jin Ting knew that he had been moved.
Taihu God asked, "Sir, do you think what they said is credible?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I find it credible, but the deity shouldn't agree so quickly, lest they give him a chance. It's better to let them fulfill their promise first, and then we can consider it."
Taihu God said: "Sir, you are right."
The Taihu God sighed and said, "The Five-Directions God is very powerful. If I disagree, I'm afraid it will bring disaster to the Taihu water race."
The Immortal Jin Ting laughed and said, "There's no need to say such things in front of me. I will negotiate with the Five-Power God on your behalf and will not harm you."
The Taihu God laughed awkwardly and asked, "Why are you acting as a lobbyist, Great Immortal?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "The thank-you gift they offer is truly too generous, and I have reasons I cannot refuse. Venerable God, if you agree, you must also restrain your subordinates and make necessary preparations in advance, so as not to alarm the higher-ups."
The Taihu God stroked his dragon beard and said, "I understand. Thank you for your help, sir."
Jin Ting Daxian was not surprised by this result.
Taihu Lake remains constant, but its gods are ever-changing. Rejecting this deal would mean a war with the Five Gods, a fate that might not end well. Overtly and covertly, it would also offend the righteous gods of Gusu and even the King of Wu.
But if you agree, that's different. Taihu's spiritual power and divine might, like the Taihu God, cannot be taken away, but can only be passed on to the next Taihu God. However, the incense, sacrifices, and shrine are all yours, and will benefit your practice in the long run.
No matter how good public property is, it is not as good as the things you actually have in your hands.
The Taihu Water God's choice did not surprise Jin Ting Daxian at all. If he had such a public-spirited mindset, he would not be in the position he holds today.
The atmosphere of chaos has spread throughout the world. No one knows what the future will hold, so it is better to lock in profits.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting laughed. Now that the God of Taihu had made this choice, it would be much easier for his cheap disciple to take revenge.
After emerging from Taihu Lake, the Thunder Officer carried the Immortal Jin Ting to West Dongting Mountain and said, "Today on Shihu Lake, King Tonghui really frightened me. However, the Immortal showed no fear at all, which is truly admirable."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I'm afraid too. But I can't show any weakness in front of them. Once I do, they'll just take advantage of me. Don't be fooled by the fact that we're chatting happily now, as if we're eager to recruit talents. If I show any weakness, I'll become their tyrant."
The God of Chaos was originally a mountain spirit and water monster. If he had received a proper talisman, it would have been a way for him to accumulate merits and achieve the right result.
But under the command of Wutong Shen, although they are ghosts and gods, they are nothing more than chickens and dogs.
They formed a group of five people and practiced a set of techniques, combining their auras to refine their own qualities, which eventually turned into a mixed magic power.
It is hard to say which one is more miserable, this or the disciples of the Yin-Yang Dharma King.
One is to complete the Taoism for Venerable Tianyang and Madam Diyin and reserve their essence, and the other is to rely on the Five Gods to fight for them.
In the eyes of Jin Ting Daxian, there is not much difference.
The officer in charge of thunder shuddered. The strange and arrogant look of the five men, acting as one, really made him feel sick.
Back in the Golden Palace, the Immortal Jin Ting summoned Yuehua Liuguang, and then took out the Taiyin Jade Egg given by King Tonghui.
As the moonlight fell, the jade egg began to beat rhythmically, as if it was giving birth to a fetal heart, as if it was giving birth to an extraordinary life.
But in fact, this jade egg is dead and is not a living thing.
Even the Immortal Jin Ting couldn't tell what the jade egg came from. There were so many creatures that lay eggs. Even creatures that lay live young might be able to lay eggs.
All we can see is that this egg is in accordance with Taiyin. It is a small egg with the appearance of a bright moon. It must be the mother of an immortal god in accordance with Taiyin.
However, the egg died long ago and would never hatch. Even so, as long as this substance is refined and combined with the body, a foundation that conforms to the Way of the Taiyin can be created.
Generally speaking, people call it Taiyin Yuantai.
Jin Ting Daxian said that those who practice Taiyin Law cannot remain unmoved by the Jade Egg, which is true. However, it is not applicable to Jin Ting Daxian because he himself is the Taiyin Yuantai.
But it is not without use. By comprehending this jade egg, he can observe the second Taiyin Yuantai, making his existing Taiyin Yuantai more perfect.
However, before comprehending, the Great Immortal Jin Ting did not hesitate to transform into the Moon Betel phase, and transformed the most vicious Taiyin spell into flames, burning the Taiyin Jade Egg from the inside out.
The Yuebei spell focuses on spiritual gods.
The moonlight pouring down from the sky became the fuel for the spell, producing an almost black lunar ghost fire that licked the lunar jade egg from the inside out.
This did not harm the Taiyin Jade Egg itself. The Jade Egg was already dead and could not hatch an immortal saint, so it was naturally not afraid of the Taiyin Phantom Fire incinerating the spirit god. Moreover, the Taiyin Jade Egg itself was in accordance with the Taiyin Dao, and the cursed fire transformed by the Yuebei spell would not burn it.
In just a moment, there seemed to be some rustling sound inside the jade egg, and then there was a sound like bubbles bursting.
Soon, the jade egg stopped moving, leaving only the slowly beating "fetal heart" in accordance with the principle of Taiyin.
The egg is a world of its own, and unless it is opened, you cannot see what is inside.
However, the Immortal Jin Ting burned it so carefully for a whole night, so even if there was something hidden in it, he would regret it.
