I am a soldier in the border army

Chapter 353: Yun Zhongzi! Conferred the title of God! Controlling the Heavenly Gate!
The spirit and soul are the inner heaven and earth.

Four huge portals stand rootless in the void, yet seem to support the boundary between heaven and earth.

Great and sacred.

When Yun Zhongzi was young, he once vaguely saw some words about ancient times in an incomplete ancient book.

One of the passages talks about the four portals to heaven and earth in front of us.

Legend has it that in the Duguang Plain, where all the emperors lived, there was a sacred tree named Jianmu.

This tree penetrates heaven and earth, connecting heaven and earth, humans and gods.

Later, the emperor ordered an attack on them and built four gates in the sky to control the key to heaven and earth.

From then on, heaven and earth were cut off from each other, and humans and gods were separated.

Yun Zhongzi was unable to prove the truth of the legend recorded in the ancient book.

It is even harder to imagine how shocking the legendary Jianmu sacred tree that connects heaven and earth is.

So even though he had later stepped into the realm of heaven, lived out his lifespan, used a secret method to avoid the limit of reincarnation, and survived in the world for hundreds of years with a bit of his true spirit, he still held a skeptical attitude towards this.

Until he saw with his own eyes the endless magnificent picture of the heavenly palace that was imprinted in the heavenly book.

I saw the four huge sky gates standing in the void before me.

Yun Zhongzi finally believed everything recorded in the incomplete ancient book.

Only by using the great divine objects that have existed since ancient times as materials can such a majestic and sacred creation be built!

Too bad they are fake.

The magnificent heavenly palace that made him shout "My path is complete" and "I am the most blessed immortal in the world" was also fake.

Everything here is fake!
Including what he, the 'contractor', is doing now with a group of 'coolies', it's all just for show.

This is that person’s inner world.

And that person was just a lucky guy who got the heavenly book by chance.

Yun Zhongzi laughed in his heart.

But despite this, he still had to admire the man's ingenious ideas and audacity.

After all, if it were him, even if he had obtained the Heavenly Book under great luck and saw the picture of the Heavenly Palace imprinted on the Heavenly Book.

He would never have imagined that he could replicate that magnificent heavenly palace in his own inner world.

In other words, even if he really had an idea, he didn't have the courage to make such a crazy attempt.

What is the inner world?
It is the true foundation of the Tao after a cultivator has entered the upper three realms!
If you are not careful, not only will your way forward be completely blocked.

Even the transcendental cultivation that he had worked so hard to obtain could be destroyed in one day.

Faced with such a horrific cost, who would be foolish enough to try it?

Who dares to mess around?
But that person dared!

Not only did he dare to do it, he even took over the process to complete it himself.

Yun Zhongzi really didn't know how to comment on this.

You have to know that the reason why he made that suggestion at that time was actually just to try his luck and save his life.

As for whether he could do it in the end, he had no confidence at all.

"Forget it. If we can delay it for one day, then it will be considered as one day."

Yun Zhongzi sighed helplessly in his heart.

Then he looked again at the palace complex in front of him, which had already begun to take shape in scale and grandeur.

Honestly speaking, Yun Zhongzi has been working very hard since he took over this huge project.

Under his supervision and encouragement, those "coolies" worked very hard.

This is the only way to roughly replicate all the creatures depicted in the painting of the heavenly palace in this inner world in such a short period of time.

The imperial streets, palaces, mansions, and blessed places...

Except for an important building in the core area which has not yet been actually built, the others have gradually taken shape.

At first glance, this is indeed very shocking.

But in fact, just as Yun Zhongzi had thought in his heart before, all this was just a facade.

In fact, even without the help of those 'coolies', he could have achieved this by himself.

After all, there is no so-called material restriction in this inner world. Everything can be created out of thin air by using the power of the laws.

So it was built extremely quickly.

But what's the use?

There is no blessing from laws, nor the authority from heaven and earth.

This seemingly grand and glorious palace complex is just an intimidating sight.

If we really talk about the help to one's strength, it would be absolutely no help at all, not to mention no help at all!
Want to use this opportunity to advance to the eighth level of heavenly being?

Stop dreaming!

Unless that guy can really get the real ancient heavenly palace as the "material" for the harmony with the Tao, otherwise it will only be a fantasy.

For this reason, Yun Zhongzi was secretly worried.

He even thought of using the lack of inner world vitality as an excuse to deliberately delay the "project progress".

But what made him despair was that the inner world of that guy was not only much more vast than that of ordinary people, but the huge vital energy contained in it seemed endless.

Can’t use up!
It can never be used up!
'Damn it! What should I do?'

Given how cruel and ruthless that fellow is, if he finds out that I have been working in vain during this period of time, he will probably crush me to death.

When he thought of this, Yun Zhongzi was filled with fear and panic.

He doesn't want to die.

Even though he only has this little bit of true spirit left and is now trapped in this prison, he still wants to live.

There is hope in life.

And once you fall into the Nine Netherworld, what good will it do even if you can reincarnate and live another life?
Throughout the ages, no matter how high your cultivation level was in your previous life, and how you achieved the Taiyi Sanshu and obtained the Daluo Dao Fruit, has anyone ever seen a person who could resist the erosion of heaven and earth and break free from the mystery in the womb?
And how is the other 'me' after this reincarnation?
Therefore, Yun Zhongzi never believed in this bullshit about reincarnation.

For him, as long as he can stay in this world for one more day, he will never choose that path!
As the saying goes, what you fear will come to you.

Just when Yun Zhongzi was worried and frightened, a pair of huge eyes suddenly appeared in the void.

Like the eye of heaven.

Upon seeing this, Yun Zhongzi quickly hid his thoughts and bowed respectfully.

"Fellow."

The huge eyes in the sky did not look at him.

He just glanced indifferently at the palace complex below that was still evolving.

After a moment, he finally showed some satisfaction.

He hummed softly in response, followed by a sound of approval.

"Well done."

Yun Zhongzi was nervous in his heart, but he put on a confident attitude as if "everything is under control" and spoke modestly.

"Fellow Taoist is so complimentary."

"Since I have gained your trust, I will do my best and will never let you down!"

Stay calm, don't panic!

As long as the problem is not exposed, it is not a problem.

At this moment, Yun Zhongzi was possessed by Xu's belt, which made Han Shao laugh in his heart.

Then he thought about it and appeared in front of Yun Zhongzi.

He saw Han Shao suddenly appear and look at him with a smile.

Yun Zhongzi's fear reached its peak in an instant and he almost couldn't hold it in.

But Han Shao smiled and encouraged.

"Keep going, don't slack off."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi felt as if he had been pardoned and nodded quickly.

"Don't worry, fellow Taoist! I bear an important responsibility for you, and I dare not slack off for even a moment!"

Seeing that the old man was about to swear, Han Shao asked with a smile.

"Are you nervous?"

Facing Han Shao's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts, even if there was only a little spirit left, Yun Zhongzi subconsciously wiped his forehead.

After he reacted, he shook his head like a rattle and laughed dryly.

"You are joking, my friend. You are kind and friendly. How can I be nervous in front of you?"

Han Shao chuckled.

"Just don't be nervous."

Having said that, Han Shao nodded in approval.

"You are right. This duke has a kind and gentle temperament. This is well known."

The words fell.

The power of the laws on the body of a "coolie" not far away became disordered, and a temple that was about to take shape suddenly collapsed.

Looking at the figure who turned pale in an instant, Han Shao's smile gradually faded, and he said with some emotion, "But kind people are often bullied, so there are always people who bully me, Hou Renshan..."

After saying this, Han Shao stretched out his hand.

The old man Sun Xian, who was once a powerful and arrogant member of the Liaodong Gongsun clan, turned into a golden figurine and fell into his palm.

Without giving him a chance to beg for mercy, he gently squeezed it.

The last trace of this Liaodong Gongsun branch elder's existence in this world disappeared completely.

Only a pool of dazzling gold remained suspended in the void, displayed in front of everyone in this inner world.

After completing this simple action, Han Shao glanced at the frightened faces that were silent and terrified.

Finally, it fell on Yun Zhongzi again.

"This lack of one person won't delay the progress of the project, right?"

Although the word "engineering" was a little unfamiliar to Yun Zhongzi, it did not stop him from shaking his head quickly.

"No delay! No delay!"

If it has come to this, it is still unclear whether someone is killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

Yun Zhongzi has lived so many years in vain.

So he quickly made the promise.

"Daoyou's important matter is important, and I will not delay your important matter."

Han Shao nodded in satisfaction after hearing this.

"Will it be too hard for you, fellow Taoist?"

Yun Zhongzi smiled bitterly in his heart, but said seriously on his face.

"It is an honor for me to work for you, so how can I say it is hard work?"

Sure enough, during this period of time, this bastard seemed to have never paid attention to the specific developments in the inner world.

But in fact, nothing here can be hidden from him.

What puzzled Yun Zhongzi was that since he knew everything, why would he do something when he knew it was useless and impossible?
Yun Zhongzi couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to think about it any further.

If you stick your head out, you will be killed; if you retract your head, you will also be killed.

It would be better to just do as this bastard says and get the job done first.

It would be better to kill or chop him up at that time than to be crushed to death now.

Seeing that the old man Yun Zhongzi seemed to have figured out the key point of the matter, Han Shao smiled with relief.

No more knocking.

He turned his gaze towards a vacant space in the palace complex in front of him and suddenly asked.

"There is?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi quickly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind and looked in the direction Han Shao was looking.

As the contractor and chief engineer of this great project, Yun Zhongzi instantly corresponded to a certain star palace.

"My friend, that should be the star palace of Taiyin Star Lord."

Han Shao nodded and then spoke.

“Build there first.”

The palace complex depicted in that painting of the heavenly palace is so huge and numerous.

Especially those palaces located in the core position, which seem to be just a single palace.

But in fact, while the palaces and pavilions inside are extremely magnificent, it is also an entire palace complex in itself.

This is the location of the Lunar Palace.

Han Shao's decision to directly bypass other star palaces and build there first undoubtedly disrupted Yun Zhongzi's original arrangement and rhythm.

But the pool of gold that looked like blood was still before his eyes, so how could he dare to have any opinion?

He nodded immediately.

"Okay, let's do as you wish!"

"I built this Taiyin Star Palace myself!"

This kind of knowledge and interest is really likable.

Thinking about the cause and effect between him and Yu Xuanji, Han Shao couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

It seems that there is indeed fate in this world.

As the thought came to his mind, a smile appeared on Han Shao's face.

"Considering your hard work, it would be unreasonable for me not to reward you."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi wanted to say no.

But at this time, Han Shao had already taken advantage of the situation to summon the painting of the Heavenly Palace that Yun Zhongzi called the "Heavenly Book".

The Heavenly Palace disappeared, leaving only the names of people that Han Shao had written down earlier.

Ignoring the many names that were lit up in gold, Han Shao directly found the three words "Yun Zhongzi".

The jade pen appeared in his hand.

Han Shao used the golden color in the air as ink and licked the tip of the pen.

Then a line of small words was added below the three words "Yun Zhongzi".

【Ministry of Industry and Commerce】

Han Shao originally wanted to end with [Supervisory], but unfortunately, when he put pen to paper, no trace was left.

Han Shao suddenly felt enlightened and laughed.

"It seems that you are not destined to be..."

Han Shao muttered to himself and typed the word "in charge".

This time it succeeded in leaving a mark.

Yun Zhongzi, who was confused by Han Shao's words, was suddenly shocked.

The next moment, his true spirit appeared, and suddenly a not-so-bright golden light flashed.

When the golden light faded, everyone present was shocked to find that his original Yin-Yang Taoist robe had been replaced with a set of simple black clothes.

As the person involved, Yun Zhongzi was even more shocked and suspicious than others.

Because as he put on this set of simple black clothes, he suddenly found that a mysterious power seemed to emerge from his body out of thin air.

To be precise...it is authority!

Or rather, it is a function!
During this moment of distraction, Yun Zhongzi subconsciously touched his waist and unexpectedly took out a small square seal hanging on his waist out of thin air.

Yun Zhongzi raised it hesitantly and saw a line of small characters engraved on it in a language he had never seen before.

[Yun Zhongzi, Director of the Ministry of Works]

In an instant, Yun Zhongzi's body shook violently, and a look of disbelief suddenly burst out in his eyes.

Huo Ran raised his head and looked at Han Shao. When he was about to ask for an answer, he saw that Han Shao just glanced at him lightly and disappeared before his sight.

What he didn't know was that Han Shao had not actually left this inner world at this time.

And Han Shao did not come here for Yun Zhongzi.

Say something cold.

The reason why he appeared in front of Yun Zhongzi was just to use him as an experiment.

Now that the experiment has been successful, there is no need to continue wasting time on him.

With just a thought, Han Shao appeared in front of the four heavenly gates.

The heavenly book in his hand unfolded.

The golden brush strokes stained with the blood of the true immortals of the seven realms seemed to have a bit more sacredness and brilliance.

He casually erased the original names of Li Jing, Zhao Mu and the other three, and then picked up a pen to re-register their names.

The pen falls and the name is established.

In an instant, the names of the four people shone brightly under the blessing of the true spirit blood.

But at this time, Han Shao did not continue writing, but directly picked out the names of the four people one by one.

Then he pressed on the four gates of heaven respectively.

【Feng Can】, South Gate of Heaven.

[Qi Shuo], North Tianmen.

【Zhao Mu】, East Tianmen.

【Li Jing】, West Heaven Gate.

Compared with the four majestic and towering gates of heaven, the names of the four people are so insignificant that they are almost undetectable.

But at the moment when it was branded, the four heavenly gates standing in the void trembled faintly.

Almost at the same time, Li Jing and his four companions, who were guarding the four gates of Guanjun City in the southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest, looked up into the void as if they had sensed something.

But at this moment, they didn't care about the mysterious feeling coming from somewhere.

For the sky was bright and dawn had come.

The sunset is at this moment!
