Honghuang: I, Huanglong, refine the heavens and do not join the Chan sect

Chapter 225: Ziwei Cheng Di Xin, the Ninth Emperor of the Shang Dynasty

The Nine Provinces of Human Race, Xiqi.

As time went by, Ji Chang gradually grew up, constantly displayed his talents and made his mark.

He personally participated in farming and animal husbandry, worked in the fields with old farmers, understood the sufferings of the people, improved farm tools and increased production.

He also implemented benevolent policies, divided the land, and asked the people of Xiqi to help cultivate the public land and pay one-ninth of the taxes.

He vigorously developed commerce and did not charge customs fees for merchants, thereby attracting a large number of merchants to trade with Xiqi, making Xiqi's commerce gradually prosperous.

He abolished the system of collective responsibility, so that the prisoners' wives and children would no longer be implicated by them.

At the same time, he also advocated reducing rents and taxes so that people could save some money, thereby igniting their enthusiasm for work and allowing people to live and work in peace and contentment.

As a result of these measures, Ji Chang's prestige in Xiqi continued to rise, and it was second only to his father, Ji Li, the Marquis of Xibo.

In the way of spiritual practice, Ji Chang also excelled.

He had extraordinary comprehension, and in just three hundred years he achieved immortality and entered the realm of celestial immortals.

In addition, he also practiced literature and Taoism, and his attainments were equally extraordinary, and he was only one step away from becoming a literary and Taoist immortal.

Especially after he got started with the Bagua, Ji Chang's practice became twice as effective with half the effort.

The deeper your understanding of the Bagua, the faster you will practice, and you will basically not encounter any bottlenecks.

In just one thousand years, he achieved true immortality, and even cultivated the literary arts to the pinnacle of celestial immortality.

Such a speed of cultivation is considered to be a top-notch qualification among the entire human race.

In addition, he became good at calculation by studying the Eight Trigrams.

He is able to gain insight into the mysteries of nature and the earth through divination. Although he cannot be said to be completely prepared, he can still be considered to be able to predict the future.

Even the Duke of Xibo, who had the cultivation level of a Xuanxian, could not compare with him.

This is Ji Chang's ability in domestic affairs and cultivation. His achievements in external battles are equally outstanding.

Ji Chang once personally led a large army to resist foreign enemies and created many mysterious military formations, all of which won great victories, resolved foreign threats, and brought stability to Xiqi.

After Ji Chang achieved the status of a mysterious immortal, it was natural for him to inherit the throne of King Xibo.

at the same time.

When Yunxiao was traveling in the human territory, he encountered a monster that had just transformed near Xuanyuan Hill.

It was a jade pipa fairy, innocent and cute with a simple personality.

It took many years to successfully transform after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon.

At present, I have not been tainted by karma and have not committed any murder.

Although its quality is a bit ordinary, it is also a rare spiritual stone and its foundation is pretty good.

The most important thing is that this little monster is transformed from stone. Compared with plant monsters, the difficulty of transformation is a bit higher.

Even for clouds and mist, the difficulty of changing shape is not as great as that of stone. This shows how difficult it is for earth and stone to change shape.

In addition, the true form of this stone spirit is a jade pipa, and it is naturally suited to the path of music theory.

It just so happened that Yunxiao had recently gained some insights into music theory, so he took this jade pipa spirit as his disciple.

As for the fact that she didn't want to be separated from the other two sisters, that was easy to deal with. She could just bring them along together.

A nine-tailed fox and a nine-headed pheasant spirit, both are considered to be ancient alien species and have good aptitude.

In addition, they have just transformed not long ago, have no blood debts, and have no karma. If they are well trained, they can become a helper to one's own disciples.

The three demons were extremely grateful for this, knowing that they had encountered an opportunity.

Especially after knowing that Yunxiao was a disciple of Huanglong, they were extremely excited. They realized that they were in luck and did not dare to question Yunxiao's appointment.

Not only Yunxiao accepted a disciple, but Qiongxiao also accepted a disciple.

With Huang Long's instructions, the disciples of Guixu Sect would take time out to visit the human territory whenever they had nothing to do, to see if they could find something useful.

One day, Qiong Xiao came to the human territory.

He happened to see a mother who died while giving birth. In the end, her obsession was too strong and she was reborn as a Guhuo bird.

This is the first Guhuo bird in the ancient world.

This ghost bird flies at night and hides during the day. When it is covered with feathers, it is a flying bird, and when it takes off its feathers, it is a woman. It is a creature that is born to survive in the underworld.

It would be fine if Qiong Xiao hadn't seen it, but since he had seen it, there was no reason for him to let it go.

So he revealed his identity and accepted the boy as his disciple.

The same is true for other disciples of Guixu. They either recruit disciples among the human race or leave traces among the human race.

For example, Lingxi accepted Yuan Hong, the long-armed ape, as his apprentice; Bixiao accepted Bigan as his apprentice; Zhao Gongming accepted the six-eared macaque...

Huang Long was not omniscient and omnipotent after all, and it took him a long time to learn about all this.

When he learned that the three monsters from Xuanyuan Tomb were brought back to Guixu by Yunxiao to practice, especially the Jade Pipa Monster, who became the third-generation disciple of Guixu,

Huang Long was quite surprised at first, but he soon figured out the reason.

Hongjun was determined to push the Guixu lineage towards the Shangqing Taoist.

However, Huang Long had intended to interfere in the matter of conferring gods, and did not take this matter to heart.

Putting aside the period of the Conferred God Tribulation, the Jade Pipa Fairy's qualifications and luck are quite good.

Otherwise, in the time traveler's memory, he would not be chosen by Nuwa and entrusted with such an important task.

There are countless creatures in the ancient world, but only a few are qualified to be calculated by the saints.

The reason why the three Xuanyuan demons were later killed was because they were bewildered by the evil spirit and acted too much, so Nuwa had no choice but to let go.

Judging from their current progress, it should not be a problem for them to cultivate to Xuanxian before the Battle of the Gods.

And with my own advance arrangements, at least I could avoid such a tragic ending.

Huang Long thought about it, and when he waved his arm, a pipa flew out of his sleeve and appeared in Yunxiao's hand.

This is a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure. Although it is not precious in the Guixu lineage, it is sufficient as an entry-level gift.

Besides, this is not precious, relative to Guixu.

To the Jade Pipa Fairy and most creatures in the prehistoric world, this is already an extremely rare spiritual treasure.

of course!

Huanglong has always been fair and impartial, and never favors one over another.

After giving it to the Jade Pipa Fairy, the other disciples must not be left behind.

Huang Long was quite satisfied with his second- and third-generation disciples, including Yuan Hong and Liu'er Mihou.

Therefore, he gave each of these disciples a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure.

As for matters concerning cultivation, their master should take care of them. He cannot let the master do everything.

In addition, there are plenty of enlightenment tea, yellow plums, and peaches in Guixu, so there is really no need to worry about the problem of cultivation.

If Huang Long had not repeatedly emphasized that one must be down-to-earth in cultivation and not think of achieving success overnight.

With the help of these precious spiritual objects, it won’t take long to produce a group of Daluo Jinxian.

But even if they play it safe all the way, it will be enough for these people to improve their realm a lot before the arrival of the Conferred God Tribulation.

With the protection of the magical treasures bestowed by Huang Long, their fighting power will not be too bad.

But if there was one thing that surprised Huang Long the most, it would have to be Ziwei.

He also didn't expect that after many reincarnations, the Ziwei Star God would be reborn into the Human Emperor family in this life and become a son.

Many people may not be familiar with the name Zishou, but his other name is well-known in later generations.

That is Emperor Xin, the future King Zhou!
Huang Long originally thought that he would be reincarnated as Bo Yikao, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

After silently calculating for a while, he understood the whole process and was deeply moved.

Ziwei Star God had been reincarnated into the royal family of the Shang Dynasty for ten thousand years, and had been tainted with too much luck from the royal family of the Shang Dynasty. Although his origins were gradually replenished, he had also formed a deep cause and effect. This reincarnation as King Zhou was both an opportunity and a test for him.

If Ziwei can help the Great Shang Dynasty survive the catastrophe of the Conferred Gods, it will be able to completely replenish its foundation.

If it fails, all the years of planning will be wasted, and the country will still be inherently flawed, and the situation will only be slightly better than before.

In other words, it is the human calamity of the Ziwei Star God.

As for Bo Yikao, he naturally did not have the Ziwei destiny in this life.

But if Xiqi completely defeats the Shang Dynasty in the future, Bo Yikao will be able to obtain some of the power of the Ziwei Star God through his humanitarian merits.

The Ziwei Star God was reincarnated as King Zhou. Many future civil and military officials of the Shang Dynasty became the third-generation disciples of the Guixu lineage!
Such a result was really too much of a coincidence. Huang Long would never believe it if Hongjun had not intervened.

But the same thing, since you want me to come in, I will grant your wish.

But what the final result will be and who will profit more depends on each person's strategy.

This time, Huanglong and Hongjun, the Way of Heaven and the Way of Earth, will have a good fight with humanity as the chessboard and the change of the human dynasty as an opportunity.

Will it be the Zhou Dynasty that replaced the Shang Dynasty, changing the dynasty, or will the Shang Dynasty be revived and continue the national destiny?

If the Emperor Xin of this life is not the King Zhou in the time traveler's memory, but an eternal wise ruler who can be compared with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, then how will Xiqi start the rebellion?
When Huang Long thought of this, he became excited.

I believe that by that time, both the Heavenly Dao Saint and Hongjun Daozu will have a headache about this.

Afterwards, he found Hou Tu and Chang Xi, and together they provided Zishou with an additional layer of protection to prevent him from being plotted against secretly.

At the same time, he also ordered Xuanniao to act secretly to stimulate the Xuanniao bloodline and Emperor Ku bloodline in the child's body.

With these two bloodlines, it is natural to gain some luck from the Netherworld and the Emperor of Man, thus increasing the protection of humanity's luck.

In addition, Zishou is the reincarnation of Ziwei and a disciple of Huanglong.

Even if Hongjun wanted to do something bad in secret, he would have to think carefully.

Time flies, and a thousand years pass in the blink of an eye.

The Great Shang Dynasty, in Chaoge City.

A burly young man wearing armor rode on a dragon-tiger monster, followed by a huge army. The people lined the streets to welcome him with great enthusiasm and joy.

This burly young man is none other than the legitimate son of the contemporary Human Emperor—Zishou.

Over the past thousand years, he has grown rapidly, not only has his martial arts skills improved by leaps and bounds, but he has also become a martial arts immortal.

Moreover, Zishou practiced both literature and Taoism, and his accomplishments in both were equally impressive, reaching the peak of the celestial being, making him a man of both civil and military talents.

In addition, he also took Wen Zhong, a disciple of Jiejiao, as his teacher, practiced the way of immortality, and tied Jiejiao and the Shang Dynasty more closely. His cultivation of the way of immortality also entered the realm of celestial immortals.

This was his first time leading an army to battle, and he returned victorious.
In the ancient world, the strong are respected.

This sentence is also useful to the human race. Zishou's victorious return is inspiring.

Not only did it greatly increase the prestige of the Great Shang Dynasty, it also intimidated the eight hundred princes and the foreign tribes on the border of Kyushu, making them dare not act rashly.

Emperor Yi led the civil and military officials to personally welcome Zishou at the palace gate.

Not only was he proud of the great victory of his army, but also of Zishou's victory.

His life can only be considered mediocre among all the emperors in history, whether in terms of spiritual practice or in governing government.

Unfortunately, the Shang Dynasty reached the point of decline, with internal and external troubles.

Even being a king who can maintain the status quo seems extremely difficult.

If it were not for the Great Shang Dynasty, there would still be the Jiejiao immortals headed by Master Wen, as well as many civil and military officials.

I'm afraid that the Shang Dynasty will not be able to maintain its appearance, exposing the fact that it is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Fortunately, with the blessing of his ancestors, he was given a good son at this critical moment.

Zishou was gifted with extraordinary talents. Not only was he full of energy and blood, making him a martial arts genius, he was also virtuous and decisive in killing, just like his ancestor Wu Ding.

Emperor Yi had high hopes for Zishou, hoping that he could revive the Shang Dynasty like Wu Ding did!

In the years that followed, Emperor Yi continued to pave the way for his son and frequently sent him to lead troops on expeditions.

On the one hand, he hoped that Zishou would accumulate more achievements and enhance his prestige in the process of pacifying various rebellious parties and resisting foreign enemies.

On the other hand, he knew that a wise ruler could not be born in a greenhouse, so he wanted Zishou to grow up in fighting and become stronger in the bloody storm.

During this period, Huang Feihu became a martial arts immortal and returned to the Huang family in Chaoge City.

With the tacit arrangement between his father and Emperor Yi, he joined Zishou's army, went on expeditions with him, and made great achievements.

Huang Feihu lived up to expectations and followed Zishou. He always led the charge with the king, leading the Shang cavalry and killing the powerful Shang army.

A thousand years later, after Zishou achieved immortality in martial arts, he gave up his position as commander-in-chief to Huang Feihu and was recalled by Emperor Yi.

From then on, Zishou stayed in Chaoge City for a long time, assisted Emperor Yi in governing the Shang Dynasty, and made many policy changes that were beneficial to the people.

In just a few hundred years, the atmosphere of the Shang Dynasty was completely renewed, and there was no sign of the dynasty's end.

Militarily, the soldiers are strong and the horses are powerful, the martial arts are flourishing, and there are many strong people.

The older generation includes Master Wen, Deng Jiugong and others, while the new generation includes Huang Feihu, E Lai and others.

Huang Feihu, in particular, has achieved the status of a martial arts immortal, has superb martial arts skills, is good at deploying troops and formations, and is strong enough to rival the older generation of generals.

In terms of civil administration, there were also great and wise officials such as Shang Rong, Bigan, and Weizi Qi.

This scene of the Shang Dynasty made the eight hundred princes convinced again. They followed its lead and did not dare to act rashly.

At least that was the case on the surface, and it brought a period of peace to Dashang.

Until one day, the Dongyi rebelled, and Zishou once again led his army out of Chaoge City.

The Dongyi are the remnants of the ancient witch tribe.

Although they have surrendered to the human race, they would rebel every once in a while, causing considerable trouble to the human race.

It’s not that the emperors of all dynasties had never thought about solving the problem of Dongyi once and for all, but they were unable to do so.

The Dongyi tribe is large in number, not only has a profound foundation, but also has strange methods.

Many great sages of the human race were born here, and their luck is strong. If the human race completely destroys the Dongyi tribe, it will damage its own luck.

If foreign races intervene in this process, it will likely lead to a turbulence in the human race, which will not be worth the cost. The only way is to use both kindness and force to slowly assimilate them.

In fact, this policy is effective.

At least over the past tens of thousands of years, the Dongyi tribes have become much more docile and rarely launched large-scale rebellions.

This sudden rebellion was also because the leader of the tribal alliance was promoted to Golden Immortal and wanted to compete for the throne of Human Emperor.

Zishou naturally could not tolerate such a bad behavior, so he led his troops to fight in person.

This war was more difficult than he had imagined and lasted for hundreds of years before the Dongyi were conquered.

During this process, the Shang army suffered serious damage.

But the soldiers who survived had all experienced the trials and baptism of blood, and many martial arts immortals and true immortals were born.

He also has rich combat experience and a strong will in martial arts, making him stronger than many of his peers.

More importantly, they are good at fighting in formation.

Such an army brought a strong deterrent to the surrounding tribes and eight hundred princes.

On the day when the leader of the Dongyi Alliance died, Zishou successfully broke through and became a Golden Immortal in martial arts.

Huang Feihu also reached the peak of martial arts in the final battle.

With such achievements, when Zishou returned to the court, he naturally took over the heavy responsibility from Di Yi, ascended the throne of Human Emperor, and became the ninth emperor of the Shang Dynasty.

With the blessing of the Human Emperor's luck, Zishou broke the mystery in the womb, enlightened his mind and saw his true self, knowing his identity as the Ziwei Star God.

I also recalled my past life's cultivation experience and Huang Long's many teachings, and gained more insights into governing state affairs...
