I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 309: Casting the Heavenly Palace? Conferring the Gods? Creating Immortals in Bulk! (Part )
As his robe sleeves swung out, the terrifying and majestic power of a true immortal instantly enveloped the surroundings.

Han Shao looked at Zhong Xinggu who was imprisoned in the void, with confusion, doubt and surprise in his eyes.

It was as if I was meeting this old dog for the first time.

In Han Shao's opinion, someone like Zhong Xinggu could not be truly loyal to anyone.

In order to seek revenge, he could have forgotten his roots and defected to the barbarian Wuhuan tribe.

In order to survive, he could kneel down at his knees without dignity and crawl like a slave.

So although Han Shao understood his motives and actions, he never truly trusted him and never considered him as one of his own.

All along, Han Shao actually just regarded Bank of China as a special partner.

He worked hard for himself.

And I promised to give him a chance for revenge in the future.

Simple and clear, with clear accounts, no one owes anyone anything.

But at this moment, looking at Zhong Xinggu's eyes that were resolute and a little fanatical, Han Shao frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that things seemed to have some unexpected deviations.

Could it be that this guy really put himself in the role of a loyal dog?
Han Shao looked at him strangely, subconsciously showing some disbelief.

But no matter how much he didn't believe it, this guy's soul, which was already cracked everywhere, couldn't be faked.

If he hadn't acted in time just now, perhaps the old dog would have become a dead dog now.

At that moment just now, Han Shao even suspected that this guy was playing some desperate trick on him.

The bet is whether I will save him and then completely gain his trust.

But after Han Shao thought about it for a while, he denied this statement.

It was obviously something that could be easily covered up by just kneeling down and begging for mercy and saying a few soft words.

People who value life like Zhonghang Gu will not easily gamble with their own lives.

"So... is this old dog really willing to die just for a word from me?"

Han Shao, who always thought he could see through people's hearts, suddenly found it difficult to understand Zhong Xinggu.

Some people even don't understand where his fanatical loyalty, which is almost like that of a death warrior, comes from.

But at this moment, Han Shao was too lazy to think about these things.

There are so many things to do, there is no need to waste time on such meaningless things.

He just needs to know that Zhonghanggu is still useful, and very useful, and that's enough.

So this guy can't die now.

Only when you are alive can you do things for yourself.

Death is worthless.

Han Shao snorted in his heart and was about to take action, but his expression suddenly paused.

Because at this moment, the painting of the Heavenly Palace, which had been silent in the secret place of his soul for some time, suddenly trembled without any warning.

Han Shao had no choice but to temporarily leave the dying Zhonghang Gu aside.

Then he closed his eyes and came to the place where his soul was.

……

In practicing Taoism, each level of realm is a new level of heaven.

This is to describe the huge difference between the strength and level of one's realm.

This also means that every time a cultivator enters a new realm of practice, the "world" he sees is very different.

The lower three realms give one a glimpse into the small world of the human body.

The middle three realms can give one a glimpse of the vast world around them.

For example, the [Heavenly Gate] that seems to have never existed in reality.

Without opening the gate of heaven, there is no way to see God.

If the spirit does not exist, there is naturally no way to achieve the primordial spirit, cultivate the golden body, and evolve the Dharma image.

And after seeing the heaven and earth, the cultivator himself becomes the 'heaven and earth'.

These are the upper three realms.

However, compared with the almost real inner world of the Eight Realms of Heaven and Earth, the seventh realm, which had just stepped into the upper three realms, was initially just a void.

There is no sky above and no earth below, and there is no distinction between clear and turbid air.

Everything seemed like chaos.

Han Shao was also confused at first. Even with the guidance of Gongsun Ying, an experienced person, he could only understand it halfway.

It was not until after this period of "hard practice" and after killing three true immortals in a row, including the barbarian pseudo-seventh realm, that Han Shao finally got some clues.

For example, the seventh-level cultivators who follow the path of Dharmadhatu generally use the Dharmadhatu and Dharma domain of their past practice as a blueprint to continuously evolve their inner world.

Thereby achieving the goal of transforming the virtual into the real and achieving unity with the Tao.

It's just that the process is too difficult, time-consuming and too long.

The lifespan of a seventh-level True Immortal is no more than eight hundred years in total!
Therefore, anyone who can break through the realm and become a celestial being is undoubtedly a person with extraordinary talent.

Compared with the monks who have ascended to immortality through Dharma-Appearance, the golden-body monk, who seems to have relied on hard training and is famous throughout the world for breaking all Dharma with his own strength, is actually taking a shortcut!
After the Golden Body Monk breaks through and ascends to immortality, the only thing he has to do is to continue to expand this empty and chaotic inner world.

Then, after this inner world expands to a certain extent, a secret realm will be found and the two will be forcibly merged.

After success, you will reach the eighth level of celestial being!
It has to be said that compared to the Dharmakāya monks who can only rely on their talent and time to slowly persevere, the Golden Body method is simply cheating.

But everything has its pros and cons.

The Golden Body Journey is certainly convenient, and it can even be described as a shortcut.

Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of secret places in this world.

Every additional golden statue of one of the Eight Realms Heavenly Beings means one less secret realm in the world.

Over time, this already scarce secret realm was divided up until there was little left.

And once the secret realm in this world disappears completely, it also means that the path to becoming a seventh-level true immortal with a golden body will be completely cut off.

This is the case with many things in this world.

It looks like a shortcut, but in fact it is a dangerous road and a dead end!
Without great luck that defies heaven, once you embark on this path, it will be a dead end!
So really speaking, there is no difference between the two paths of Dharmakāya and Golden Body.

The only difference is that the former relies on talent and hard work.

The latter relies on luck.

Even their final paths to the Eight Realms of Heaven and Man are actually the same.

It’s all for the sake of harmony with the Tao!

"Refine the Void and unite with the Dao, unite with the Dao to be the true..."

"So the word 'True' in the Seven Realms of True Immortals does not refer to whether the immortals are real or fake, but to seeking 'truth'!"

As the world before his eyes suddenly changed, Han Shao looked at the vast empty world before him and couldn't help but sigh.

I haven't been here for a few days, and it seems that there have been some changes here.

Not only has the scope of this empty world expanded dramatically compared to before.

In one corner, there is an "ocean" of golden words.

With just a glance, you can understand the words and grasp their meaning in your mind without reciting them.

[“Guanju” is the virtue of the queen and concubines, and the beginning of the wind…]

【Poetry is the expression of one’s will. In the heart it is will, in words it is poetry…】

[Emotions are expressed in sounds, and sounds become words, which are called music…]

[The master teaches the six kinds of poetry: Feng, Fu, Bi, Xing, Ya, and Song. They are based on the six virtues and have the six rhythms as their music...]

After a general preface with profound meaning, the opening chapter is:

[The orioles are singing on the island in the river...]

……

The Jixia Academy is a holy place for Confucianism, but it is not the only place for Confucian heritage.

The Zheng family of Yuyang is also a Confucian lineage.

The family tradition is passed down through the Book of Songs, one of the Six Classics of Confucianism.

The ancestor of the Zheng family, Zheng Fan, achieved enlightenment through this sutra.

But all of this now belongs to him, Han.

Sometimes even Han Shao couldn't help but sigh at his own 'natural' tyranny and unreasonableness.

What others have worked hard for a lifetime to obtain, as long as Han Shao wants and as long as he is strong enough, he can plunder it all in one night, skin and bones!
Perhaps the Confucian master who taught my predecessor for some time could never have imagined it.

He, a useless student who was once denounced as "a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved", would be able to "surpass his teacher" in this way and reach a Confucian realm that he had never dared to imagine.

Han Shao shook his head and laughed for a moment, then shifted his attention away from the ocean of golden words.

After all, compared with the "world" that he owns, the corner of humanity that evolved from the "Book of Songs" is really too insignificant.

Yes!

The "world" that Han Shao himself owns is also evolving.

However, compared to ordinary Dharma practitioners, they can only rely on their own hard practice to imprint the laws bit by bit, thus turning the virtual into the real.

Han Shao seemed to be a little too "intelligent".

It evolves itself!

In the midst of chaos and nothingness, four bare "gates" stood abruptly in the four directions, defining the boundaries.

There are clouds rising and rolling in the middle, but nothing else. At first glance, it looks like a construction site that has just been erected and is about to start construction.

However, despite this, those who are fortunate enough to witness this scene would not dare to utter any sarcastic laugh. They would only be shocked and feel it was extremely absurd.

There is no other reason.

It’s just because the four gates standing abruptly in the void are not only extremely sacred and majestic.

Its shape gives people an unforgettable sense of familiarity!

They've seen it!

Or in other words, every cultivator who has the honor of stepping into the middle three realms has seen it!

Tianmen!

Except for its size, it doesn’t seem to connect heaven and earth like the one seen at Tianmen.

The rest is pretty much the same.

absurd!

How could such a divine object that concerns the entire universe and the path of cultivation of all practitioners in the world appear in the inner world of an 'ordinary' seventh-level cultivator?
This is impossible!

No one will believe it, and no one dares to believe it!
After all, doesn’t this mean that from now on, all future generations of cultivators who want to advance to the third level of the Heavenly Gate and meet the gods will have to do it under someone’s nose?

Even the success or failure of promotion may just depend on someone's thoughts?
No! This is horrible!

Just thinking about it can make one shudder.

Not to mention others, even Han Shao had the same feeling when he saw the four sky gates rising out of thin air with his own eyes.

The future of all the martial artists in the world depends on one person, or even one thought.

No matter how you look at it, this seems absurd and impossible.

But at a certain moment when Han Shao placed his divine consciousness on the four gates, he suddenly and clearly felt the joy, excitement and uneasiness of a weak existence "standing" in front of the gate.

At that moment, Han Shao was like a master high above the sky, looking down at a humble ant trying to cling to the clouds.

Listen to him shout out his bold words.

Watching him pleading humbly after he couldn't push the 'door'.

Han Shao felt a touch of pity in his heart and almost instinctively tried to help him.

The next moment, the door opened.

The ant, who had just been crying and begging humbly, was instantly ecstatic.

He laughed loudly as he rushed into the crack of the door that Han Shao had opened out of pity, shouting, "Han dog killed my Zhao clan members and slaughtered my entire family! One day, I will tear him into pieces and avenge this blood feud!"

Xia uses force to break the ban.

In this world, warriors and monks are rampant, so naturally there are many dirty things involving grudges and love affairs.

Han Shao was no longer surprised.

Just this Korean dog?
Could it be... this Lord?
Han Shao frowned, his head full of question marks.

After patiently listening to the ant's cursing for a while, Han Shao's face finally turned completely dark.

"Get back!"

A roar was like the power of heaven.

The next moment, the ant, which had clearly broken through the gate of heaven and was about to meet God, flew back without even the chance to react.

Then he watched helplessly as the towering gate of heaven behind him, which had clearly been open to him, suddenly closed.

Only a desperate cry of pain and anguish was left, "No——"

Then he completely disappeared in front of the door.

Later, Han Shao sent people to Dingrang County to investigate, only to find out that the remnant of a large clan who was implicated in the case of the Dingrang County Magistrate had suddenly gone mad after failing to break through the Tianmen Realm.

All day long, he was shouting with a look of fear, "There's someone in the sky! There's someone in the sky!"

Sometimes I burst into tears, sometimes I laughed crazily, 'God hates me! God hates me!'

However, no one took such crazy talk seriously.

After all, as the threshold to the middle three realms, Tianmen is extremely dangerous when encountering gods, and it is common for the soul to be damaged and lead to mental disorders.

However, Han Shao, who had already confirmed his guess, could not help but keep it in mind.

Tianmen, it’s real…

In other words, as long as he wanted, he could even, in a single thought, stop the martial arts practice in this world at the level of the innate grandmaster in the lower three realms!
The chain reaction brought about by this is earth-shaking and shocking!
But he didn't do it after all.

Even after that, he just watched the process of Tianmen meeting the gods several times from the perspective of a bystander, and never intervened once.

Every husband is not guilty, and he is guilty of his crime.

The same is true with authority.

When one's strength does not match the authority one controls, it is like a child swinging a sledgehammer. While killing others, he may also kill himself.

Be cautious in everything you do.

Han Shao gazed at the four majestic and sacred towering gates below, as well as the vast area shrouded in clouds and mist behind the gates.

He could feel that there were other buildings inside, being conceived and constructed.

It's just that without enough nutrients, or 'building materials', this process is much slower.

'This can't be done in a hurry...'

Han Shao sighed lightly and made a move towards the void.

The next moment, the heavenly palace scroll, which had been trembling slightly as if in response to Han Shao, suddenly became quiet.

Then it turned into a sacred stream of light and fell into Han Shao's hands.

The scroll unfolded, and the majestic, sacred and magnificent palace complex appeared before Han Shao's eyes again.

Han Shao lowered his eyes and glanced at the four inconspicuous gates at the corners of the scroll.

He raised his head again and took a look at the four towering gates standing in the void.

At this moment, he was like a contractor holding a construction drawing, carefully looking at the construction site that had just started in front of him.

Only he wasn’t building a tall building.

Instead, he is "personally" building a majestic palace that belongs only to him!
Casting Heavenly Palace?
No! The Heavenly Palace is just a representation!

The embodiment of all authority in heaven and earth!

The four heavenly gates are like this.

The same must be true for the various palaces that are now only depicted in the scrolls of the heavenly palace.

And it seemed to be to verify some of Han Shao's conjectures.

At this moment, the majestic palace on the painting that was emitting endless sacred light gradually disappeared in front of Han Shao.

Instead, there were names of people that Han Shao was now quite familiar with.

Putting aside the two who had been "used" by Han Shao before, Gongsun Xian and Zheng Fan from the Yuyang Zheng family were also on the list.

In terms of quantity alone, there is no increase or decrease.

Han Shao lowered his eyes and looked, and with this one glance, he finally broke through the illusion and saw the essence.

Therefore, people’s names are never just names, but the true spirits of their nature that are imprisoned within them.

The most special one among them is the true spirit named Gongyan.

The Mirage Dragon Pearl left by the Eight Realms Celestial Being that Han Shao is using quite easily now originated from her.

I have to say that the old Emperor Taikang is really lucky and also ruthless enough.

A woman of such beauty could actually be so cruel as to kill someone without any hesitation.

The mermaids in the South China Sea have extremely ugly males but stunningly beautiful females.

And this exquisite little man in front of him is obviously the best among them.

I feel pity for you.

With a thought, Han Shao subconsciously took the delicate aqua-blue figurine in his hand and played with it.

Han Shao felt somewhat indignant when he saw the fear and resistance in the other person's eyes.

What? I am not as good as that old guy Tai Kangdi?
But he eventually withdrew his hand.

One cannot, at least one should not...

Of course, the most important thing is that when Han Shao thought about such a delicate existence, which had been touched by the old man Emperor Taikang, and even gave birth to the bastard Ji Jiu, he suddenly felt disgusted.

As this thought occurred to him, Han Shao, feeling somewhat bored, glanced coldly at the remaining true spirits.

Among them, the disbelief and fear in the faces of Gongsun Xian and Yuyang Zheng Fan were quite interesting.

But that's all.

Han Shao just glanced at it and was too lazy to look at it again.

After all, if nothing unexpected happens, the only remaining value of these true spirits is to serve as nourishment and fuel to stimulate the ferocity and divinity of the Golden Crow.

Other than that, it's not worth mentioning.

The only thing that made him curious now was what had happened to this scroll that prompted him to come over.

Or in other words...are there any new functions opened?
Looking at the jade pen that condensed out of thin air, Han Shao frowned in confusion.

"Give me a hint?"
