Chapter 104: The Great Divine King of the Jiang Family
At the Jiang family cemetery, Jiang Shuwen, who was unwilling to be a cannon fodder, explained to Jiang Caihong the seriousness of the matter. Jiang Caihong's resentment about guarding the cemetery then disappeared.
As an ancient family with a history of more than 100,000 years, the Jiang family, like the Ji family, has different branches. The differences between the branches are even more serious than those within the Ji family, another ancient family.
As one of the most talented young people in the Jiang family, Jiang Shuwen is kind and compassionate by nature. He does not want to get involved in family disputes because of unnecessary fights.
Originally, when he cultivated to the second level of the Four Extremes, he wanted to find the Golden-Winged Peng King to avenge his previous humiliation, but before he set out, he heard the news that the Golden-Winged Peng King was suppressed by the Holy Body, which made him a little disappointed.
After several years of careful feeding, the young golden-winged Roc obtained from Li Zhi has grown up. Its strength is comparable to that of the Dao Palace Secret Realm experts of the human race, and it is now able to provide him with help.
After arriving at the sacrificial hall of the cemetery, Jiang Shuwen and Jiang Caihong reported to the elders guarding the place, and then began to inspect the cemetery.
In the hearts of the people in the Northern Territory, the Jiang family is like a clan of gods. Their status is unshakable and supreme. Many people believe that the blood of gods flows in the bodies of the Jiang family.
There are countless countries that worship the descendants of the Jiang family as gods, and Emperor Hengyu is even worshipped as a god.
Therefore, a huge amount of power of faith gathered in the Jiang family. Part of it entered the Jiang family's eternal ancient city, and the other part fell into the Jiang family's cemetery.
The cemetery is filled with a sacred power, without any trace of evil spirits.
The sacrificial halls scattered throughout the mountains enshrine the spirits of the great figures of the Jiang family throughout the generations.
In this sacred cemetery, even the Great Kings are not qualified to build sacrificial halls and can only build temples in front of the graves. The Second Great Immortals buried here can only erect a stone tablet in front of the graves.
In almost every sacrificial hall, there is an elder from the Jiang family who is approaching the end of his life.
Jiang Shuwen and Jiang Caihong visited them one by one.
When they arrived in front of a sealed God King Palace, Jiang Caihong said with some envy: "We are also descendants of our ancestors, why haven't we awakened our Godly bodies?"
Jiang Shuwen smiled and said, "That's because the Great Emperor blood in our bodies is too strong, interfering with the birth of the divine blood."
"We are separated from our ancestors by thousands of generations. There is no imperial blood in our bodies. We are just flattering ourselves." Jiang Caihong did not believe Jiang Shuwen's words of comfort.
Whether there is the blood of the Great Emperor in the body and how strong the blood of the Great Emperor is is a test that almost every disciple in the Jiang family who embarks on the path of cultivation will take.
When Jiang Caihong and Jiang Shuwen conducted the test, they only discovered a tiny trace of the emperor's bloodline.
Bloodline did not provide much assistance to their cultivation.
They also practiced the "Heng Yu Sutra", but the results they achieved were far inferior to those of Jiang Yifei, Jiang Caixuan and others.
"Ever since the disappearance of the Taixu Divine King ancestor four thousand years ago, the divine body lineage has become somewhat weak. I don't know if we can rescue the ancestor from the Purple Mountain this time." Jiang Shuwen said.
“Rescuing him has nothing to do with us. I’m afraid it’s impossible for us to even meet the God King Ancestor, let alone get his guidance.” Jiang Caihong said with a pout.
Jiang Shuwen immediately said with a straight face: "Caihong, you'd better give up this idea. Once the Divine King Ancestor is successfully rescued, he can support our Jiang family. When we young people walk around outside, others will give us more face."
"I know." Jiang Caihong said indifferently, as if the life or death of the God King had nothing to do with her.
Jiang Shuwen was quite worried, fearing that she would suddenly disappear like Jiang Yichen, or even be killed by someone.
Looking at the sealed sacrificial hall in front of them, Jiang Caihong said to Jiang Shuwen, "Brother Shuwen, we have to stay here for ten years. Can we live here? Anyway, there are no elders living in this hall. Maybe the God King Ancestor will be grateful for our offerings to her here and bless us so that we can also awaken our divine bodies."
Jiang Shuwen was also somewhat moved, but he said hesitantly, "This is not good."
"What's wrong with it? No one above said we can't live here. Besides, if we live inside, we can clean it up a bit, so the temple won't continue to be covered in dust." Jiang Caihong said.
Jiang Shuwen thought for a moment and said, "I'd better ask the ancestor who guards the cemetery."
"Then go quickly, I'll wait for you here." Jiang Caihong urged.
Then Jiang Shuwen left.
At the same time, in the tomb of the Great God King deep in the underground Yin Vein, Li Zhi also finished reading her life story.
One cannot help but marvel at the peculiarity of the divine body.
The descendants of the divine body, almost every once in a while, can give birth to a descendant with divine blood. This talent is even more universal than the bloodline of the great emperor.
It is very difficult for the descendants of the great emperor to return to their ancestral bloodline.
However, it is very common for the descendants of divine bodies to have their ancestral bloodline revert to normal. This physique is indeed special.
It seems that the birth mechanism is very different from that of other Taoist bodies, and I don’t know what the origin of the divine body is?
Perhaps we can get some clues from the Great God King lying in the purple jade crystal coffin in front of us.
However, before that, Li Zhi suddenly took out the Coffin of Life.
Looking at the half-grown human-shaped elixir of immortality in the coffin, Li Zhi felt extremely fortunate for having planted it in the coffin before.
To a certain extent, it actually gave the Coffin of Life the ability to ignore any large formation, similar to the elixir of immortality.
With this ability, wouldn’t he have an extra layer of security when he goes to those life forbidden zones densely covered with great emperor’s Dao patterns in the future?
Li Zhi also had a guess about the ocean of life that his physical body had visited before.
Perhaps, what they entered was not the so-called ocean of life buried deep underground from which divine spring water could flow, but the spring of life of the chaotic body that was refined by the ancient Tianzun into the ancient star of Beidou.
Only the life fountain of a chaotic body would be so huge, like a boundless ocean.
The famous springs are so huge, I really don’t know how vast the sea of suffering in the chaotic body is. Perhaps his wheel sea is equivalent to a real world.
In comparison, his sea of suffering, which was only the size of a football field, seemed insignificant.
Moreover, after refining so much Life Spring Immortal Liquid of the Chaos Body, although Li Zhi's strength and Taoism did not improve, he still felt that his wheel of life seemed to have become heavier, completely matching the thickness of his immortal body.
If the previous nirvana transformation had greatly improved the quality of Li Zhi's life source, then now, after refining the Life Spring Immortal Liquid, the quantity of his life source had also been greatly supplemented.
It was as if he was just like those monks who were born holy and possessed extremely powerful vitality without any practice.
According to Li Zhi's observation, it seems that the life essence in his body at this moment is stronger than the life essence in the bodies of those powerful people who have practiced hard for thousands of years.
Eating it can probably extend a person's life by hundreds of years. It is simply a human-shaped elixir of immortality.
It is said that after the holy body is achieved a small success, the blood can be used to make medicine, and the immortality blood in Li Zhi's body is probably more effective than the holy blood of the holy body.
It can even be used to refine magical pills.
After coming to this conclusion, Li Zhi felt bad all over.
When he walks outside, isn't this clearly telling everyone to come and catch him to make medicine?
Although the "Eternal Life Locking Body Art" can lock his qi, blood and life source from leaking out.
But that was based on the premise that he was not caught by the powerful one.
Previously, in the Ji family stone archway, the old man who was guarding the Tianzihao Stone Garden simply used the Great Handprint of the Void to grab him from outside and brought him in front of him, thus confirming that his body was extremely powerful.
This is a true reflection of the fact that data can be falsified, but physical objects cannot be falsified.
As long as you have fought with him, you can more or less judge his strength.
Especially for those extremely powerful ones, it is very difficult, very difficult to hide your cultivation in front of them in actual combat.
This is not a question of whether the hidden skills are mysterious, but a question of judgment.
Whether one is strong or not is not determined by data, but by actual performance.
Fortunately, not many cultivators know that he has an immortal body.
But if you count carefully, quite a few people know about it.
Jiang Shuwen and Jiang Caihong from the Jiang family knew his physique.
Duan De also knew his physique.
The Saint of Yaochi also seemed to know his physical condition. As for whether other people knew it, Li Zhi was not sure.
However, what worries Li Zhi the most is that Jiang Shuwen and Jiang Caihong of the Jiang family may have leaked his physical condition.
It seems that we must be more careful in the future.
Although the Hundred Herbs Map can act as his protector to a certain extent, the divine map cannot be revived at any time after all. Moreover, the consumption of the divine map each time it is revived is extremely high, which makes it not worth the cost.
Thinking of this, Li Zhi felt that his future life as an immortal would be difficult.
At least the life of an immortal before becoming a powerful being is still quite dangerous.
I don't know whether the corpse of the great god king at the saint level in front of me can be regarded as my protector.
Feeling that he would be in danger in the future, Li Zhi changed his plan from whether he could see the secret of the divine body from her to inviting her out of the purple jade crystal coffin to be his protector.
Before that, Li Zhi needed to conduct a detailed examination of the body of the Great God King inside and out.
To ensure that she would not suddenly turn into a zombie or be possessed by evil spirits.
The purple jade crystal coffin has the effect of isolating divine thoughts, so Li Zhi used the coffin-opening method he learned from Duan De to open the coffin.
However, when the coffin was about to be opened, it suddenly stopped.
Afterwards, he circled the purple jade crystal coffin several times.
Afterwards, he sat at the entrance of the tomb and began to chant "The Sutra of the Rebirth of Hou Tu", a scripture for salvation that Li Zhi brought from his previous life.
With the blessing of the divine patterns and Taoist sounds, this scripture really seems to possess the mysterious power to send people to the afterlife.
“Dust returns to dust, ashes return to ashes, and the soul returns to Hou Tu. Death is not the end of fate, but the beginning of reincarnation.”
The sound of mysterious chanting rang out in the tomb, and a little bit of spiritual light condensed by the power of faith overflowed from her body.
Then he disappeared into the tomb.
In the outside world, the sealed God King sacrificial temple suddenly burst into divine light, and mysterious chanting sounds were heard in the temple, and strange images of flying fairies appeared in the sky.
There seemed to be the sound of a conch shell blowing between heaven and earth, and also like the sound of a suona playing at the end of a funeral, it was extremely ethereal and unreal and seemed to sound very unreal to people.
It was as if the door to the reincarnation path was wide open at this moment, and a ghost came to lead the soul of the God King to heaven.
After seeing this scene, Jiang Caihong was stunned and frightened to the point of turning pale. She knelt in front of the palace and apologized to the God King.
Jiang Shuwen, who had gone to seek the ancestor's advice, was now on his way back.
After seeing the strange phenomenon in the God King's sacrificial temple, he quickly quickened his pace.
But the elders guarding the cemetery were even faster.
Sensing changes in the cemetery, they transformed into streams of light and flew from all directions to the front of the God King's sacrificial hall.
At this moment, the vision is coming to an end, and the image of the flying fairy has disappeared, leaving only a little bit of spiritual light that has not dissipated.
Seeing that the seal of the God King Sacrifice Hall was intact and Jiang Caihong was kneeling there to apologize, an elder asked: "Jiang Caihong, what happened here just now?"
"Disciple doesn't know what happened here." Jiang Caihong said with lingering fear.
"Don't you know what happened? Then why are you kneeling there and apologizing?" another elder said.
Jiang Caihong said with a pale face, "I really don't know what happened just now. I was waiting for Brother Shu Wen to come back, and suddenly I saw a divine light shining brightly in the God King Sacrifice Hall, and then a little spiritual light emanated from it, and then a mysterious sound of the Great Dao sounded. Then I saw a purple-clothed God King with a veil covering his face flying out of the hall, and flew directly into the sky and disappeared. Grandmaster, every word I say is true, and I dare not lie."
At this moment, Jiang Shuwen also came to Jiang Caihong and said, "Grandfather, although Caihong is a little naughty on weekdays, she is definitely not the kind of person who dares to disturb the ancestral throne without permission. Moreover, the seal on the God King Sacrifice Hall is intact, and it must have nothing to do with Caihong. I think that instead of standing outside and speculating, it is better to open the God King Sacrifice Hall and see what kind of changes have occurred inside."
"Just do as Shu Wen said." At this moment, the powerful ancestor who guards the cemetery spoke. Before, Jiang Shuwen asked him whether he could live in the God King Sacrifice Hall, and he had already agreed to Jiang Shuwen's request.
The old ancestor admired Jiang Shuwen very much, as he was talented, mature, and cautious.
It can be cultivated as the "inner core" of the Jiang family.
In a family, it is impossible for all the geniuses in each generation of disciples to be known to outsiders.
Some people need to go out to maintain the family's reputation, while others need to stay at home and cultivate their heritage unknown to outsiders.
These foundations can often play a stabilizing role at critical moments.
This powerful man who guards the cemetery but has a short lifespan is the foundation that the Jiang family cultivated for its "inside".
Although his cultivation is earth-shattering and is not inferior to the saints of the major holy places, outsiders do not know his name or his past deeds.
Even when going out for training, he would secretly do it under a pseudonym.
Jiang Shuwen is the "inner talent" among this generation of disciples that he is optimistic about.
Compared with the dazzling Jiang Yifei and the Jiang family's divine body, the steady Jiang Shuwen is undoubtedly the best candidate to be the insider.
After the powerful ancestor spoke, the other elders stopped questioning Jiang Caihong.
After opening the seal outside the God King's sacrificial temple, everyone walked in carefully.
"The power of faith here seems to have dissipated?" An elder said with some confusion as he felt the changes in the hall.
"Could it be that the ancestor of the God King used his corpse to prove his truth and directly ascended to heaven?" said another elder, stroking his one-foot-long white beard.
Some people said this, some said that, and there was no consensus.
Jiang Caihong, who was standing behind a group of elders, had now recovered her composure, her eyes full of curiosity.
"Brother Shu Wen, why are you all guessing here instead of going directly to the tomb of the God King's ancestors to see if there has been any corpse transformation?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell into silence.
Everyone's eyes were on Jiang Caihong.
Seeing this, Jiang Shuwen quickly explained for her: "My fellow ancestors, Caihong's words were unintentional and she did not intend to offend the Divine King Ancestor. She is a simple person and does not think before she speaks. Please do not blame her."
"No, Shu Wen. I think what Caihong said is very right. Instead of old guys like us guessing here and wasting time, we might as well go into the tomb and take a look at the specific situation inside." said a sturdy old man.
"I'm afraid that's not possible." Another old man said, "Seventeenth brother, this God King ancestor is a great God King at the saint level. One drop of her blood can kill us all. If a corpse appears, it's okay if we don't alarm her underground, but once she is alarmed, even if all of us join hands, I'm afraid we won't be able to deal with that situation."
"My dear ancestors, it was I who took the initiative to request to live in the God King Sacrifice Hall. Why don't you let me go and investigate? My cultivation is weak, so perhaps I won't alarm her." At this moment, Jiang Shuwen stood up and spoke.
Seeing this, the great man guarding the cemetery nodded and said, "Compared to us old men who are in a state of decadence, you are indeed more suitable. Perhaps after the ancestor senses the vigor and vitality emanating from you, it will awaken her instinct to care for the younger generation."
Then, the mighty man took out a magic talisman and handed it to Jiang Shuwen, saying: "This is the Void Transfer Magic Talisman. You use it to protect yourself. Once there is a change in the tomb, activate this talisman immediately. It will take you back to the ground safely."
"Thank you, ancestor, for the treasure." Jiang Shuwen said after respectfully taking the talisman.
Another old man also took out a shuttle-like magic weapon and handed it to Jiang Shuwen, saying, "Shuwen, this shuttle can help you avoid being disturbed by the Yin Qi when you burrow underground. You can carry it with you."
Afterwards, two old men each gave Jiang Shuwen a magical weapon to protect himself.
Seeing this, Jiang Caihong said to Jiang Shuwen, "Brother Shuwen, I'll go with you."
Jiang Shuwen said, "Caihong, the situation below is unknown. Although there is a safe passage leading to the tomb, it still cannot guarantee that there will be no accidents. If I encounter any trouble, it will be easier for me to escape alone. You just wait for me outside."
Afterwards, Jiang Shuwen, led by an old man, passed through the God King Sacrifice Hall and entered a dark underground tomb passage.
