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

Chapter 229 Jiang Ziya Goes to Kunlun
Xiqi.

After Ji Chang completed his mission, the envoys from Chaoge City came to the stage and announced Emperor Xin's will.

"King Wenchang Jichang has both virtue and behavior..."

After a series of praises, Ji Chang was canonized as Emperor Wenchang, and held a high position of power in the Shang Dynasty, second only to the emperor.

No one expected that Emperor Xin would have such courage and vision that he would actually appoint Ji Chang as the emperor.

Even if this emperor is more of a title and does not have much power outside of Xiqi, this is still amazing enough.

In the era when the calamity of the Conferred Gods had not yet ended and the three paths of heaven, earth and man coexisted, the status of the emperor of the human dynasty was not much inferior to that of the emperor of heaven and the five ghost kings of the underworld.

Not to mention Ji Chang and the ministers of Xiqi, even the minister who announced the decree was shocked.

The imperial edict was sealed with magical power, and it was the first time he saw its contents.

In comparison, the importance of Bo Yikao's succession to the throne of King Xibo has declined a lot.

Looking at the ecstatic Bo Yikao and Ji Fa, Ji Chang sighed helplessly.

Compared with the great businessman Emperor Xin, his two sons are far from impressive. Whether in terms of strength, talent, or temperament and mind, they are not on the same level.

If in the future, his two sons really follow the will of heaven and intend to overthrow the rule of the Shang Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.

I'm afraid it will bring a devastating disaster to them and Xiqi.

Thinking of this, Ji Chang became more determined than ever before to leave a way out for the Ji family no matter what.

At least, we must preserve some of the Ji family's bloodline.

As for the future of Xiqi and whether Da Shang will be destroyed by Xiqi, he cannot and will not interfere.

Then, Ji Chang's eyes fell on Ji Dan.

Compared with other children, Ji Dan has a gentler temperament.

Although his aptitude in civil and martial arts is not very high, he has a good talent in the way of immortality and has an extraordinary talent in the Eight Trigrams and the Book of Changes.

After years of contemplation, Ji Chang finally made a decision and planned to let Ji Dan lead a group of tribesmen to leave Xiqi and live in seclusion in the mountains.

Become a hidden family like the Daxia royal family and leave bloodline for the Ji family.

If in the future Xiqi really follows the will of heaven, rises up in rebellion and stands against the Shang Dynasty.

This branch of the Ji family bloodline will stay out of the matter and not help either side.

With Emperor Xin's broad-mindedness and magnanimity, even if the Shang Dynasty won in the end, he would surely spare Ji Dan and his branch of the Ji clan, or at least would not kill them all.

As for the other members of the Ji family, he was powerless to do anything.

He knew the nature of Bo Yikao, Ji Fa and others, so it would be useless even if he told them not to rebel.

Moreover, for the emperors and ministers of this era, there was never a shortage of offspring.

Take Ji Chang as an example, he had 19 sons, so it was not a big deal if a few of them died!
After warmly entertaining the envoys from Chaoge, Ji Chang began to arrange the follow-up matters and left a way out for the Ji family.

As for Bo Yikao, Ji Fa and other nobles of the Ji clan, Ji Chang did not tell them the results of divination.

As the saying goes, no one knows a son better than his father.

Ji Chang knew very well that once he told his two sons about the destiny represented by Xiqi, they would not give up their pursuit of power.

Instead, it will make them more covetous of the throne of the Human Emperor, thus speeding up the rebellion in Xiqi.

Given the current prestige and military strength of the Shang Dynasty, launching an uprising now would be tantamount to seeking one's own death.

Ji Chang's decision made Hongjun Daozu and Yuanshi Tianzun very depressed.

Ji Chang was able to calculate Xiqi's destiny when he was a Xuanxian, partly because he was well versed in divination.

But the more important reason is that Hongjun and Yuanshi Tianzun wanted him to know.

They both naturally knew that Ji Chang was the reincarnation of Kunpeng. They just wanted to watch Kunpeng and Ziwei fight and see how Huanglong would end up.

Even if Ji Chang could remain calm, as long as he told the hexagram to any of his sons.

It can also plant a seed in these people's hearts. As long as it is watered continuously, it will blossom and bear fruit, and then it will be the day to launch an attack on Shang.

However, it is counterproductive.

Sometimes man proposes, but God proposes. They did not expect that Ji Chang would be so steady.

This was certainly because Emperor Xin was broad-minded, the Shang Dynasty was the one that people supported, and its military force was strong, so Ji Chang did not dare to rebel.

But Ji Chang never even told anyone about the hexagram, which was too cautious.

The development of Ji Chang and the Shang Dynasty was far from what they had planned.

In desperation, Daozu Hongjun could only take action again.

Since Ji Chang won’t cooperate, I will just bypass Ji Chang.

Although we cannot see the internal strife of the Guixu lineage, it is also good to be able to achieve the goal.

Since Hongjun took action personally, naturally no one noticed.

That night, Bo Yikao and Ji Fa had the same dream.

In their dreams, they saw the glorious scene of Xiqi winning victory after victory in its attacks on the Shang Dynasty, and finally overthrowing the rule of the Shang Dynasty, taking over the nine provinces, and becoming the emperor of mankind.

At the same time, Yuanshi Tianzun also secretly fanned the flames and made Qilin appear in Mount Qishan.

The rumor that Xiqi was about to claim the throne of the Nine Provinces spread throughout Xiqi, and even gradually spread to all parts of Da Shang.

Throughout history, no emperor could tolerate anyone threatening his rule, not even Emperor Xin.

As long as Emperor Xin heard of this, if Xiqi made any further moves, he would be furious and send a large army to attack Xiqi.

At that time, the great calamity of the Conferred Gods will begin completely, and Xiqi will be able to take advantage of the situation to raise an army.

……

Ji Chang was unaware of Hongjun and Yuanshi Tianzun's plan for Xiqi. After leaving Xiqi, he did not go to Huoyun Cave or Kongtong ancestral land.

Instead, he followed the mysterious inspiration and headed eastward.

Finally, he sailed eastward and arrived in front of Guixu, where he bowed to the bottomless abyss in the sea.

"Xiqi Jichang, I want to see the Yellow Dragon Saint!"

Inside the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

Huang Long was not surprised by Ji Chang's arrival.

Huang Long knew that this day would come as early as when he completed his merits and left Xiqi.

After all, this is the reincarnation of Kunpeng, a disciple of Huanglong. Even if he has not yet awakened the memory of his past life, he will come to Guixu because of that cause and effect relationship.

Soon, Ji Chang was taken into the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

"Greetings to Saint Huang Long!"

After some formalities, Ji Chang stated his purpose, which was to become Guixu's disciple and seek the great way.

Huang Long showed a meaningful smile, "You are already my disciple, how can you become my disciple again?"

As he spoke, Huang Long waved his sleeves lightly.

Accompanied by a flash of light, a divine body that looked only the size of a palm but was actually extremely huge appeared in Ji Chang's eyes.

The divine body had its eyes slightly closed and fell into a deep sleep, with the surroundings filled with the rich avenues of wind and water.

After just one look, Ji Chang was mesmerized by it and had many insights in his mind.

There are insights into the theory of Feng Shui, and some of them are mysterious and unusual, difficult to describe or explain.

He sat on the ground, entering a mysterious state.

It was not until ten years later that Ji Chang woke up slowly, with endless vicissitudes of life appearing in his eyes.

"Today you know that I am who I am..."

Ji Chang murmured to himself that after all these years, he had awakened the memories of his past life.

Knowing that he is Ji Chang, he is also Guixu Kunpeng! The majestic divine body that was compressed by Huang Long using the space method and suspended in the air was his body that he had polished for endless years.

After realizing his past and present life, a soul flew out of Ji Chang's mind and flew into Kunpeng's body.

Boom!

As the soul returned to its place and the body and soul became one, infinite light burst out from Kunpeng's body, and it transformed into its true body and flew out of Guixu, hovering over the East China Sea.

Kunpeng's body is extremely large, floating above the East China Sea, and its own avenue is manifested.

The scene could be described as covering the sky and blocking out the sun, with wind and rain raging.

A few days later, Kunpeng transformed into a human body, flew into Guixu, and landed in the Yunyin Taoist Temple.

Looking at Ji Chang's body that seemed to be in a deep sleep, he raised his hand and summoned it lightly, and a huge amount of merit flew out from Ji Chang's body.

These merits are exactly what Ji Chang gained by creating the theory of Feng Shui.

At that time, he stored these merits into his body based on the inspiration from within.

With the increase of merits, the aura in Kunpeng's body continued to grow stronger.

Finally, as if breaking through some kind of barrier, wind and water flowed around him, and a terrifying aura burst out from the body of this ancient demon master.

"After endless years of hard training, I have finally made a step forward."

Kunpeng was overjoyed and laughed out loud.

He had been stuck at the peak of the middle stage of Quasi-Saint for tens of thousands of years. Now, thanks to the merit of founding the Feng Shui lineage, his cultivation had finally made a further step forward.

As the human race continues to improve and develop Feng Shui, he will not only be blessed by the fortune of humanity, but will also be able to gain merit continuously.

Sooner or later, his cultivation will advance further and he will have the opportunity to achieve enlightenment.

It is unlikely to become a saint by this means, but there is a good hope of becoming a sub-saint.

After all, Feng Shui theory, like the Bagua, occupies an important position among human beings.

Afterwards, Kunpeng bowed respectfully to Huanglong and shed tears of gratitude.

"Thank you for your kindness, Saint Huanglong. I will never forget it."

There is hope for the future, Kunpeng sincerely thanked Huanglong, but he didn't say anything nice.

No words can be more real than actual actions. No matter whether it is Kunpeng or Huanglong, they don't like to do such empty things.

Huang Long was also happy for Kunpeng when he saw that his cultivation had improved further.

Although Huang Long and Kunpeng had some conflicts during the Lich-War Tribulation, Kunpeng had a history of backstabbing Emperor Jun.

But with the oath of the Great Dao in mind, he was not worried that Kunpeng would betray him.

Moreover, becoming a disciple of Guixu will only bring benefits to Kunpeng, not any harm.

As long as Huanglong is alive, Kunpeng will never have the heart to rebel.

Without any worries, it would naturally be better if Kunpeng's cultivation level was as high as possible.

Afterwards, Huanglong bestowed the "Zhanwo Mingdao Jue" on Kunpeng.

Now that Kunpeng has a promising future, it is natural for him to switch to building tunnels in order to make further progress in the future.

Kunpeng didn't hesitate at all. After getting the spell, he turned around and left, and began to practice the Zhan Wo Ming Dao Jue.

With the examples of Zhen Yuanzi, Minghe and others, it has been proved that the method of "Slaying My Ming Dao Jue" is not inferior to the method of "Slaying the Three Corpses".

It is even more advanced than the method of beheading the three corpses. At least by practicing this method, one can reach quasi-saint perfection.

If that’s the case, how could Kunpeng hesitate?

……

Before leaving, Kunpeng took Ji Chang away.

He planned to separate a bit of his soul and inject it into Ji Chang's body along with the remaining merits, and use it as the incarnation of Taiyi Jinxian.

Ji Chang is his reincarnation and also a sage of the human race. Preserving Ji Chang's identity can allow him to gain more luck of the human race.

Although this will lose some merit, it is undoubtedly a better choice in the long run.

Over time, it will be of great benefit to Kunpeng's practice.

……

at the same time.

East Kunlun, Yuxu Palace.

A white-haired Taoist priest bid farewell to Yuanshi Tianzun and headed towards the Nine Provinces of the human race.

This person is Jiang Ziya.

He has been practicing Taoism in the mountains for more than a hundred years. Logically speaking, with the guidance of the saints and a large amount of resources, even a pig can achieve remarkable cultivation.

But after so many years, he still hasn't even reached the level of a celestial being.

On the other hand, Shen Gongbao, who became his disciple in the same year, made rapid progress in his cultivation and had already achieved the status of a celestial being.

How could this not frustrate Jiang Ziya?

Especially after Yuanshi Tianzun personally determined that it would be difficult for him to achieve immortality in this lifetime and he could only come down the mountain, become a high-ranking official, and enjoy the wealth and honor of the world.

Jiang Ziya was in even more complicated and mixed emotions.

In desperation, he could only bid farewell to his master and go down the mountain into the world.

After leaving Kunlun Mountain, he headed towards Xiqi according to Yuanshi Tianzun's instructions.

According to Yuanshi Tianzun, Xiqi will rule the world in the future.

Although the Shang Dynasty was prosperous, it was just a flash in the pan and would soon fall apart under the trend of heaven.

In the future, Jiang Ziya will use the strategies he has learned over the years to assist the Holy Lord of Xiqi, overthrow the rule of the Shang Dynasty and establish a new dynasty.

This is Jiang Ziya’s destiny.

Because of this, Jiang Ziya came directly to Xiqi to settle down, and transformed himself into an old man fishing with a straight hook, using this as a gimmick to attract the attention of outsiders.

He then cast a few spells to improve local farm tools, increase grain production, and improve people's lives, hoping to attract the attention of Xiqi's upper echelons.

Huang Long did not interfere with Jiang Ziya's behavior.

The calamity of Conferred Gods is inevitable. No matter what, Hongjun will make sure that the calamity of Conferred Gods proceeds normally.

This is the last chance to let the Heavenly Dao reign supreme. This matter concerns his own path, so he cannot give up.

In this case, there is no need to do anything unnecessary, so as not to push Hongjun into a corner and cause him to do something that would be disadvantageous to both parties.

It’s just that due to the ways of literature and martial arts, as well as the existence of earthly immortals and ghosts and gods in the underworld.

The human race today is not as weak as in the time traveler's memory.

Jiang Ziya's lack of cultivation and his childish trick of fishing with a straight hook could not attract the attention of the upper class at all.

If he wants to enter the upper echelons of Xiqi and influence its future, he must make changes.

As a person who was deified and a disciple of a saint, Jiang Ziya was naturally not a fool.

He soon discovered that the straight hook fishing gimmick was not feasible. Instead, he improved farm tools, increased grain production, and improved people's lives, which had a good effect.

So he made changes, focusing on helping his fellow villagers, gradually improving his reputation and gaining a firm foothold in Xiqi.

On the other side, at Chentang Pass, Li Jing and Yin Shiniang have been married for hundreds of years.

During this period, they often met Bai Mi and others who were out playing at the beach.

Over the years, the two sides gradually became familiar with each other.

Seeing that Yin Shiniang had a cheerful personality, Bai Mi gave her some advice and invited her to drink a few cups of enlightenment tea.

Although Bai Mi did not practice martial arts, her advancement was obvious. A single word from her could solve Yin Shiniang's doubts for many years, allowing them to gain a lot...
