Chapter 521: Glimpse of Five or Six, Seizing Incense
The mountain above suddenly seemed empty, no longer as noisy as before.
The Immortal Jin Ting captured a celestial god and questioned him. The god recognized him and answered honestly.
The third king Tongze and the fifth king Tongji led the wind and fire tribes and left Shangfang Mountain. Only the sky tribe was still staying in Shangfang Mountain, so it naturally became much quieter.
King Tonghui was waiting for him in the Baoguang Hall, standing in front of a golden basin filled with water. He had a serious expression and his magical powers were surging, and he was less frivolous than before.
The Immortal Jin Ting observed silently as King Tonghui used his destiny-seeing ability.
The water surface is like a mirror, reflecting the past and the future.
There was a strange light in King Tonghui's eyes, and endless illusions emerged from the golden basin. Then smoke and clouds emerged from the water surface, like a battle between soldiers. Then the entire golden basin began to boil, and the water surged in it, rising continuously, layer by layer, up to the void, in complete chaos, and nothing could be seen clearly.
King Tonghui closed his eyes, and the water ball in the air fell into the basin without splashing a single drop.
He greeted, "You're here."
The Immortal Jin Ting bowed and asked curiously, "Are the Four Kings fiddling with fate?"
King Tonghui shook his head and said, "This fate is no longer within my control. Being in the middle of it, it's difficult to see the overall situation. Being able to glimpse five or six points is enough."
Jin Ting Daxian was not worried about being seen through by him.
Cultivation is to change your destiny, to change it again and again.
Mortal bodies have limited strength, and food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death must be achieved through secular means, which ultimately determine our destiny.
Those who practice cultivation have infinite power, so they can change their fate and destiny.
Gong Mengbi's fate had long been concealed by the goddess. He did not have the abilities of a super-level celestial being. All he saw was that of the Jade-faced Immortal Jin Ting. This fate was no longer the same as the other one.
The Immortal Jin Ting said: "If you can get a glimpse of five or six, you can follow the current and gather the momentum to achieve success."
King Tonghui was appeased and smiled, saying, "Great Immortal, King Wu is still weak, and my third and fifth brothers have already led the rampant gods to help him seize Jiangnan."
The Immortal Jin Ting was shocked and said, "Four Kings, changing dynasties is not an easy task. Interfering with human nature with the way of God will not lead to disasters?"
King Tonghui couldn't help but frown and said, "This is a risky move, and we have no choice. If we don't help, it will be difficult for King Wu to control the Jiangnan Road on his own."
The King of Wu has always been known for his virtue.
How one acquires a reputation for virtue requires careful consideration. Even if one has the support of the people, one must also possess the ability to rally their hearts.
Under Da Gan's rule, he was able to quietly take down the Danyang Censor and seize the military power, which was the result of his painstaking efforts.
But these troops were not enough for him to completely control Jiangnan Road, let alone complete his great cause. If he accidentally alerted the imperial capital and exposed his plan, he might be trapped in a siege.
If he wanted to succeed, he had to follow the example of the original Dharma Saint and seize the military power with an aggressive momentum. He also had to take advantage of the strong wind created by the original Dharma Saint and seize Jiangnan as soon as possible while the northwest was in chaos.
Moreover, the sooner this matter is resolved, the better. If the imperial court reacts and mobilizes troops from around Gusu to attack, the Jiangnan Road will end up in the same deadlock as the Hexi Road.
Even if the King of Wu accumulates wealth for many more years, it will never be bigger than the camel of the imperial court. He will just be outlived by the end of the time. Let alone any great cause, let alone fulfilling his promise to the God of Five Elements.
Wutongshen has been accumulating wealth for many years, and since he has placed his bet on King Wu, how can he not take action?
King Tonghui said, "Don't worry. We have the King of Wu's imperial decree with us, and we are traveling with the King of Wu's own troops. We won't be easily exposed."
The Immortal Jin Ting said worriedly, "Even if he possesses the King of Wu's soldiers, it will be easy for other ghosts and gods to discover him."
King Tonghui said, "Don't worry about that. The Great City God will solve this problem."
The Immortal Jin Ting changed his tone and said, "I was overthinking it. Your Majesty has a foolproof plan, so there will be no danger."
King Tonghui said, "I have asked you to come here today because I have an important matter to entrust to you."
The Immortal Jin Ting bowed and said, "Please give your orders, Your Majesty."
King Tonghui said, "My third and fifth brothers assisted the King of Wu in his seizure of power, either by joining the army, attacking cities and strongholds, or by using covert tactics to take heads. Although the conquered territories belong to the King of Wu, we contributed greatly and should not go unrewarded."
He looked at the Great Immortal Jin Ting and said, "Second Brother will send the Earth Tribe to occupy these places and try to get the people to worship them. Second Brother has to deal with the incense and offerings and cannot do it himself. I want you to lead the Water Tribe to help the Earth Tribe take root."
"Except for offerings to the true gods, no other local practitioners are allowed to steal the incense offerings. If any practitioners try to stop us, we will punish them as well."
The Immortal Jin Ting accepted the order and said, "I will obey the command."
King Tonghui handed the Water Department's military token to the Immortal Jinting and said, "The Water Department's troops are at your disposal. Go to my second brother and he will instruct you on how to act."
Jin Ting Daxian took the military order and went straight to King Tongyou's residence.
When we arrived at the place, we heard the music of the orchestra getting faster and faster, like a surging river.
King Tongyou frowned, his face etched with annoyance. Before him lay a mountain of official documents, which several local gods kept reviewing and sketching.
When he saw the Great Immortal Jin Ting, he raised his hand, and the musicians in the mansion stopped what they were doing and quietly disappeared behind the scenes.
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "Second King, the Fourth King asked me to come find you."
King Tongyou's frown relaxed slightly, and he said, "Fifth brother has gone to Xuanzhou with the troops under King Wu's command. You take the Dibu Changshen and follow behind the army. When Xuancheng is broken, there will be disaster. You can take advantage of the situation and enter and establish a foothold."
King Tongyou took out the file and said, "In Xuanzhou, only Guangjiao Temple can be considered a rival, but that's all. If they know their place, it's fine. If they don't, we'll break through their gate."
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "I have never built a temple, and I don't know the intricacies involved. I hope it won't interfere with the Second King's important business."
King Tongyou laughed and said, "You don't need to build a temple. The gods of the earth are here, so you can just order them around."
The Immortal Jin Ting agreed.
King Tongyou shouted, "Earth Jia!"
A foul wind blew outside the mansion. A demon with vertical pupils walked in. He first bowed to King Tongyou, then to the Immortal Jinting, and said, "Commander Jinting, I was disrespectful last time and angered you. I beg for your forgiveness."
The Immortal Jin Ting still remembered him and said, "It's alright. Now we are ministers in the same palace. Please don't dwell on the past."
Dijia bowed to show his respect.
King Tongyou said, "Dijia, you will lead ten teams of rampant gods to Xuanzhou and assist Commander Jin Ting in building temples and gaining incense."
Dijia accepted the order and then bowed to the Great Immortal Jinting, saying, "Commander, I will go and gather the troops right away."
Dijia took his leave first, followed by Jinting Daxian. Then, Tongyou Dawang said, "Daxian, once you have finished your business in Xuanzhou, come back as soon as possible."
King Tongyou looked at the mountain of documents in front of him, then looked at the Immortal Jinting and said, "I have another important matter to tell you."
