Chapter 671: Enlightenment
Yueshan Daluo follows the path of analogy. Once he masters the earth element, he will naturally comprehend other elements. It is his choice to take advantage of the opportunity to improve his comprehension. In this way, not only is the risk much smaller, but the efficiency of comprehension is also greatly improved. However, this still requires a long time. It is not possible for other elements to touch the laws by accumulating time.
Therefore, the Five Elements Ring Lock still exists in the five universes and has not been taken away by Yueshan Daluo. Instead, he has gained some understanding of the Five Elements Ring Lock with the help of the power of the Heavenly Dao of the five universes, and has lived in the universe where the Earth and Sky Ring is located for a long time, so he can mobilize a bit of the power of the Earth and Sky Ring.
Even a saint has to be cautious about the power of the holy weapon. With the help of the power of the holy weapon, Yueshan Daluo would naturally be invincible, but he was only borrowing the power and couldn't use it freely. That's why Yueshan Daluo was in such a miserable state. He was attacked by the Lord of Tianzun Fort and the three-headed bird, and finally had to escape.
This also made Yue Shan Daluo extremely annoyed. If he could take out the treasure, he could completely sweep through. Not to mention the three-headed bird and Tianzun Fort, he would not even be afraid of a saint. Unfortunately, he had the treasure now but could not obtain it, let alone use it. He also had his home robbed, which was really depressing.
In heaven, the conversation in the Jade Emperor's Palace is still going on.
"What excuse should we use to attack the Yueshan Alliance?" Mei Xianren looked at the emperor and asked, "Or should we just attack directly?"
"The excuse is ready," Immortal Master Mohen said with a smile, "He wantonly provoked a fight among the Golden Immortals, destroyed many universes, and killed too many lives. Although my Heavenly Court is neutral, we love peace and will never have anything to do with such a murderous immortal. We must seek justice for the dead lives."
"The Yueshan Alliance is bouncing back and forth between the two major forces, so they are not afraid of not having an excuse, and as long as the excuse is acceptable, there is no need to think about it specifically," said the empress. "He has provoked Tianzun Fort and Huantian Palace, plus the three of us, it is enough to cause headaches."
Strength is respected in the universe. As long as the Yueshan Alliance can withstand the joint efforts of Heaven and the other two families this time, then he can rest assured. Otherwise, everything will be divided up among the three families. Maybe the other two families will also get involved, but I don’t know if they have the appetite to do so.
Next, everyone discussed the Immortal Squad.
Currently, the immortal team is stationed in the universe not far from the Yueshan Alliance. There are also teams from the Chi Ming Dao Palace and the Dragon Clan nearby. Everyone is present and can take action at any time. The Daluo Jinxians from the Dragon Clan and the Chi Ming Dao Palace have also arrived long ago and even witnessed the battle in person.
At present, neither the Dragon Clan nor the Chi Ming Dao Palace have a good way to suppress and subdue Yueshan Daluo. Although Yueshan Daluo made a very embarrassing exit, if you really look at him blindly, you would be asking for trouble. Because the Heavenly Court is the main attack on this matter, both families have set their sights on the Heavenly Court, hoping that the Heavenly Court can suppress Yueshan Daluo.
On the Heavenly Palace side, the Emperor and Empress were sitting on the Diaoyutai. They were mainly waiting for the Heavenly Dao Net to gain the power of authority. As long as the power of authority was sufficient, she could order the Heavenly Dao Net to suppress the Golden Immortal. By then, even Yueshan Daluo would not be able to communicate with the Five Elements Ring and could be captured directly.
After letting Immortal Master Mo Hen explain things clearly to the Dragon Clan and the Chi Ming Dao Palace, the Emperor and Empress set about investigating and optimizing the reforms of the departments of Heaven. As for the Yueshan Alliance, they had not taken any action yet and had not revealed any signs. Even the leader of the Yueshan Alliance did not notice anything wrong.
After the small court meeting, Heaven started a wave of enrollment expansion. A large number of students from academic institutions chose to enter Heaven and become heavenly soldiers and generals. Many students from academic institutions wanted to go to the warships, but there were not so many opportunities. Most of them were aiming for the next rotation, and a small number really wanted to get a position.
Not only is the military expanding, but the Ministry of Personnel is also expanding. The number of immortal officials is constantly growing, and various positions in the Heavenly Court are becoming more and more sought-after. Even the immortals from the Taoist sects will choose to join. This is the evil consequence of the lack of extra immortal official positions.
Although the environment in Heaven remains the same as before, with a large amount of resources pouring in, there are still immortals who have the opportunity to break through. With the skyrocketing number of celestial immortals and golden immortals, positions in Heaven are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, so the emperor and empress simply set up an assessment directly on the Skynet.
Different assessment requirements are set according to different immortal positions. After most people pass the test, they are sent to join the universe. It would be fine if they become garrison commanders or star gods, but the key is that most of them become immortal officials. This also makes the influence of the Ministry of Personnel gradually increase. After all, talents are rare.
Almost every thousand years, the Heavenly Court would make adjustments and recruit people, because the fleets were constantly on expeditions, the Space Wanderers were constantly exploring the Golden Immortal Universe, and a large number of immortal officials and star gods had to go to the Golden Immortal Universe to work, so the Heavenly Court became larger and larger, and it became more and more troublesome to manage.
For this reason, the emperor and empress had to clean up, investigate, adjust, and sort out the work every thousand years. Now a huge system has been formed. She has the final say in the Heavenly Court, and all adjustments are made with just one word from her. However, before she makes a decision, she will discuss it with the immortal officials above the fourth rank, and will not act on her own.
Basically, major changes will be resolved at the large and small court meetings.
For example, at the grand court meeting of 40,000 years ago, the emperor and empress re-divided each department more finely. Take the Ministry of Personnel as an example. Personnel recruitment, personnel assessment, financial distribution, merit calculation, etc., all the departments were subdivided. It was not like this before. The more subdivisions, the more power was divided, and the more people there were.
In addition to focusing on the universe, the emperor and empress's energy is mostly devoted to the subdivision of the heaven. In the process of subdivision, the interests of some people are inevitably affected. This is when Chu Wuxia has to come into play. Today, the judicial heavenly army is also increasing with the increase in the number of people joining the universe.
According to the orders of the Emperor and Empress, every universe that surrenders must have a base of the Judicial Heavenly Army, with a Judicial Heavenly Army permanently stationed there. So not only is the Heavenly Court recruiting people, but the Judicial Heavenly Army is also recruiting people. Unlike other armies, the Judicial Heavenly Army recruits people with no background.
Most of the immortals were recruited by Chu Wuxia in the Dimension Universe and the Guifu Universe. They had nothing to do with the Eight Desolations Universe, so naturally they would not affect the purity of the Judicial Army. She also strictly formulated rules, and anyone who violated them would be severely punished. Therefore, the Judicial Army had strict discipline, was fair, and had a great reputation.
As the three-way melee ended and the small court meeting in Heaven came to an end, Tiange Taiyi from the Guanglong Universe also began to assist Heaven in controlling the many Taiyi and Golden Immortal universes. With his help, hundreds of Golden Immortal universes and dozens of Taiyi universes fell into the Heavenly Dao net.
At the 41,200th year of the Eight Desolate Calendar, Tiange Taiyi finally set out with his fleet of warships, but this time their speed was very slow, and their destination was the territory of the Yueshan Alliance. If they changed direction, they could reach the universe occupied by the dragon clan, or head towards the Huantian Palace.
Tiange Taiyi was not in a hurry at all. He had the order from the Emperor and Empress and was acting according to his own convenience. Therefore, the fleet he brought was completely different from other fleets. Other fleets only looked for Daluo and Taiyi class universes, while Tiange Taiyi would cast the Heavenly Dao Net as soon as he discovered a universe, and the warships could go as slow as possible.
It is also because of this that almost all the universes near the Guanglong Universe are occupied by the Heavenly Dao Net. With the tacit cooperation of Tiange Taiyi and Master Ziyun, these universes have become the universes that belong to the Heavenly Court. With the complete opening of the Heavenly Dao Net, the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Heavenly Court completely took over the universe without the attention of the local demons and immortals.
As time goes by, the number of universes that have surrendered to Heaven is increasing at an unimaginable rate. In addition to the Space Wandering Team, there are also two expeditionary forces in the east and west. According to the latest statistics, the number of Golden Immortal-level universes that have surrendered to Heaven has reached a terrifying one million, and this number is still increasing at an average rate of three every ten years.
There are as many as 60,000 Taiyi-level universes, and over a thousand Daluo-level universes. This includes the number of universes near the Guanglong Universe. Universes such as the Yueshan Alliance, which have left behind the Heavenly Dao Net but have no heavenly soldiers or generals stationed there, are also not counted.
It is worth mentioning that the millions of Golden Immortal-level universes are all above-standard universes. The Golden Immortal universes below the standard are not counted in the Heavenly Court. Even some extremely desolate Golden Immortal universes will be sent by the Heavenly Court to pick the cores of the planets and set up formations to become training places.
There is no need to leave the Heavenly Dao Net in these universes, but if marks and formations are left behind, they can be teleported using the Skynet. Currently, the Emperor and Empress and Immortal Master Mo Hen are already looking for the desolate Taiyi Universe to build a training ground. After recruiting immortals on a large scale, training only on the Skynet is still somewhat unsatisfactory.
In the 41,500 years of the Eight Desolate Calendar, twelve Taiyi Universe-level training grounds have been set up, and six Taiyi-level universes have become experimental sites in the Tushita Heaven. For example, some weapons equipped with warships will be tested here, and some fairy treasures made from stars are also refined in these universes.
Mei Xianren was very interested in this. She sent three clones to three Taiyi-level experimental sites and set up various formations to test the power of the formations. She also wanted to deduce a completely new formation and use the power of digital life. The emperor and empress did not stop her but gave her a lot of support.
Over the years, the universe has been at peace and all major forces have maintained restraint. In fact, Tianzun Fort, Huantian Palace, and Yueshan Alliance all have their grievances in silence. They have tried for so many years but have been unable to dispel the Heavenly Dao Web. They can only seal it temporarily to prevent it from continuing to usurp power.
But the seal is only a temporary solution. The Heavenly Dao Net has only slowed down the speed of usurping power, and it will also have a great impact on the universe. In this situation, they naturally have no intention of fighting with others, especially Yue Shan Daluo, who has been driven insane by the Heavenly Dao Net.
Almost every hundred years he would summon the natural disaster demon gods and ask them to look at the calamity aura on their bodies and eliminate the disasters. The five natural disaster demon gods refused on the pretext that they could not take action against the Daluo Golden Immortal to avoid backlash, but Yueshan Daluo rewarded each of them with a prototype of a Daluo fairy treasure and forced them to take action.
In response to this, Fu Yunzi and others agreed reluctantly.
For five hundred years in a row, the five natural disaster demon gods took turns to eliminate disasters and solve problems for Yueshan Daluo. Yueshan Daluo was sure that he was much more sober, but he found that he was still unable to affect the Heavenly Dao Net. He did not fall into paranoia, but became more rational and kept a clear mind.
Yueshan Daluo was extremely disappointed with this situation, and finally he could only ask the Natural Disaster Demon to stop. He continued to meditate on the Heavenly Dao Web alone, trying to see if he could find some clues from it, or at least find out the mastermind behind the scenes. Without a doubt, he was destined to be disappointed.
On the contrary, the five demon gods of natural disasters suffered some backlash when they were clearing the aura of disaster from Yueshan Daluo, but their origins were in the Eight Desolate Universe, and these backlashes did not affect their origins, so the damage to them was limited. Instead, they took this opportunity to see a glimpse of the shadow of the law, which was the law of disaster.
The five demon gods chose to retreat one after another. Even if Yueshan Daluo wanted to summon them, he couldn't do it. The five demon gods all had insights and felt that it was possible for them to go further and become Daluo. As long as they continued to gain enlightenment, perhaps they would be able to successfully advance with just one opportunity.
This makes the natural disaster demons whose strength has been stagnant feel very happy and excited. Once they become Daluo, they will be able to initially comprehend the laws of natural disasters. Then they will not be afraid of the natural disaster energy invading their minds, and it will not affect their own personalities. At that time, they will be indestructible, undamaged, and truly invincible.
If someone plots against him, he will naturally feel the disaster.
If someone curses him, disaster will naturally come to him.
If someone attacks him, disasters will naturally accumulate.
After becoming Daluo, they are natural disasters. Attacking natural disasters will naturally backfire on themselves. At that time, they can really run rampant.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
When Tiange Taiyi learned that the five demon gods were all in seclusion to practice, he was overjoyed and rarely lost his composure.
He knew the five natural disaster demon gods very well and knew that they would not go into seclusion under normal circumstances, because it was impossible for them to do so if they wanted to improve their cultivation. Unless they wanted to refine immortal treasures, they must be seeking enlightenment. At this time, seclusion could only be for enlightenment. After all, Yueshan Daluo would not be so generous as to reward them with immortal treasures again.
For Tiange Taiyi, the enlightenment of the five natural disaster demon gods is a huge progress. Once they succeed in enlightenment and ascend to Daluo, Luotian Immortal Sect will be truly worry-free. In the future, Luotian Immortal Sect will share weal and woe with Heaven, so this is of great significance.
He was just happy by himself and did not tell his fellow disciples. The matter of the natural disaster demon god still needed to be kept secret, and the situation was unclear for the time being and it was afraid of making mistakes if he said too much. But no matter what, the happy Tiange Taiyi was happy for a long time and thought about many things.
Then his face fell. He thought of Fu Yunzi. If the Natural Disaster Demon God really attained enlightenment, then Fu Yunzi would have surpassed him as his master. He didn't know how he would have the face to see this disciple in the future. Thinking of this, Tiange Taiyi's joy disappeared a little.
