After hearing this, Xie Cang did not answer, but fell into a long silence, as if thinking about something.
Du Heng was not in a hurry and continued to sit on the jade platform and wait.
Based on his understanding of this master, he would not have rashly agreed before he understood the situation.
Sure enough, after a long time, Xie Cang raised his hands and asked, "May I ask what you mean by 'Emperor of Heaven'?"
Du Heng smiled and said: "The Emperor of Heaven, as the name suggests, is the emperor of the heaven, who acts on behalf of heaven and controls the gods. If Daoist Master Xie agrees, he can be the emperor of this world and dominate the divine court of heaven that will be established soon."
"..." Xie Cang fell into silence again. In his opinion, what this mysterious man said was so unbelievable that it even made him wonder whether it was a hallucination before his death.
"I have obviously reached the end of my life and my soul should return to heaven and earth and disappear into smoke. Why did I come to this strange place and see this mysterious man who said he wanted me to be the emperor of heaven?
"Even if what this person says is true, there really is a heavenly court to be established, there are really so-called gods, and there is really a need for a heavenly emperor, then why me?"
He was puzzled and couldn't imagine the reason why he was summoned here and asked to become the Emperor of Heaven. In his one hundred and twenty years of life, there was no opportunity related to this.
However, the current Heavenly Emperor Xie Cang is still just a lonely man. Not to mention the gods assisting him, even the Heavenly Court is still in the stage of drawing cakes.
"You can, but there are restrictions." Du Heng explained, "Among the gods in the heavens, your identity during life is not kept secret, but it cannot be revealed to the living people in the world."
The effect of Longhu Mountain's Tao Seed is extremely terrifying. Although the position of Heavenly Emperor can only be granted to one person, and the level requirements for the soul are extremely high, it can give him a strength comparable to one-tenth of his own.
Now he can only stay in the Ziqi Palace and wait for the mysterious Taoist to open up the Heavenly Palace before moving to the Heavenly Palace.
"It is true, Taoist Master has thought carefully." Xie Cang admired sincerely. He had obviously thought of this. He had just asked that question, and then asked again, "Why did Taoist Master want to create the Divine Court of Heaven, and why should he grant the title of imperial edict?"
Gods?”
"Are Taoist Master Xie worried about my purpose?" Du Heng asked with a smile. In fact, he had expected this and was already prepared. "Where are the God of Water, God of Earth, and God of Gold?"
As long as Xie Cang meets a suitable candidate, those who are not the main god can be directly conferred by the Emperor of Heaven. The main god only needs to be reported. As long as they pass the review of the "Taoist", they can be canonized as gods.
Immediately, I saw three different colors of light lighting up next to the jade platform in front of me.
"Xie Taoist Master, there is no need to worry or doubt." The Water God spoke at the right time and smiled, "Taoist Master indeed has the idea of opening up the heaven and establishing the divine court. By then, there will be gods in this world, and they will fight against the evil gods outside the territory.
It will make you feel much more relaxed."
It can definitely cause some "heavenly shock" to the extraterritorial evil gods who have descended on this world.
The whole process was under Xie Cang's gaze. When he saw Lin Qinghe and Taiyin Cult Master standing together, and saw Taiyin Cult Leader saluting Chunyang Patriarch, he finally showed a relieved smile.
"If there are no restrictions on the exchanges between humans and gods, and everyone knows about becoming a god after death, the living people will lose the motivation to practice martial arts, leading to a series of serious consequences."
"But now Xu Jing should be in my mourning hall. With his current level of cultivation, it is impossible for him to not notice the abnormality when I died. If the evil god from outside the territory can really use such a powerful method, it will completely deceive him.
Perception, I'm afraid there's no need to use me anymore.
"..." Du Heng's body was slightly turned sideways under the mist, and he did not accept Xie Cang's bow, but he did not correct him.
The God of Water, God of Gold, and God of Earth, the three most powerful beings in the world, as well as the other two Gods of Wood and Fire who rarely appear, are all members of this mysterious organization and are the gods of the five elements.
"Water God, Taoist Master, actually I don't want to doubt you." Xie Cang hurriedly explained, "It's just that this incident happened suddenly, and I didn't know the way for a while, so I could only ask for some information as cautiously as possible, so that I could
I feel more at ease."
"It doesn't matter. It's better to be more cautious." Du Heng nodded lightly and said with a smile, "So, Master Xie, do you trust me?"
This is just the strength of a Heavenly Emperor.
"That's right." Du Heng nodded and said, "After becoming a god, you can live forever and have great power and power. Since the Heavenly Divine Court was founded, more people will become gods in the future.
The light and shadow appearance is exactly the same as Xie Cang's appearance in middle age, but he does not wear a Taoist robe. Instead, he wears a crown and a purple gold robe, and he looks like an emperor.
There is nothing he cannot say or ask about the plans for the Celestial Court, and he will not restrict people from asking questions, nor will he select comments.
At this moment, an illusory light and shadow that no one could see suddenly appeared in the void three feet above the corpse.
It was Xie Cang who had been conferred the title of Emperor of Heaven by Du Heng as a Taoist.
Only now do people in the world finally understand the secret of the original period, and more clearly understand the extent to which Zhao suppressed the sect.
At that time, he can integrate the power of the entire heaven together, and such power will be extremely terrifying.
Xie Cang's corpse was sitting cross-legged among the disciples, with no life left at all.
"That is to say, I can no longer appear in the human world as Xie Cang." Xie Cang pondered for a moment, seeming to have thought of something, "Does the Taoist want to make the matter of becoming a god a formality?"
Although after becoming the Emperor of Heaven, he can no longer communicate with living people, he will still exist in this world anyway, which is essentially different from real death.
Immediately afterwards, something even more shocking happened.
"If you become the Emperor of Heaven, can you still retain your identity during your lifetime?" Xie Cang asked.
In his opinion, since this Taoist master is so powerful, his cultivation time must be much longer than his own. Compared with him, he must be considered a junior, so it is appropriate to call him a senior.
Having said this, he paused and asked Xie Cang, "Taoist Master Xie, are you willing to be the Emperor of Heaven now?"
Black water divine light, loess divine light, platinum divine light!
After a moment, these three rays of light dissipated, and three figures, one woman and two men, appeared here. "They" were all acquaintances with Xie Cang.
Anyone who is slightly familiar with these people knows that the God of the Five Elements is not the leader of the mysterious sect, but there is a supreme being called "Tao Zun" above them.
After all, Du Heng still has to practice and figure out how to create a lineage of Taoism in order to condense the Taoism of "One Qi Ancestor", so he doesn't have much energy to focus on the aspect of becoming a god.
In an instant, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and the prosperous world are all in sight.
There were many people who came to express their condolences to Xie Cang. They came from the Zhou Dynasty and various major sects and families. They were all infected by the sad atmosphere. The entire condolence process was very quiet and solemn.
At this time, Xie Cang was suspended above his own body, looking at his disciple who was heartbroken and feeling complicated.
After all, only a few people know the true relationship between Chunyang Guan and Taiyin Sect. Even most disciples of Chunyang Guan do not know it. In the eyes of most people, Taiyin Sect has always been the enemy of Chunyang Guan.
power.
The seventh year of Yanguang of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.
And Tao Zun is above them!
What a terrifying strength this is!
Jinxia Mountain is full of earthenware, and the funeral of the old temple master Xie Cang has begun. The entire Chunyang Temple is immersed in great sorrow. At the same time, there is heavy snowfall, as if even the heaven and earth are in sorrow.
"Several gods, this is..." The expression on Xie Cang's face was full of shock. The conversation he had with these three people in the past quickly appeared in his mind. Suddenly, an idea flashed and he looked at the man sitting on the jade platform.
The figure on the top exclaimed, "You are the Taoist Master?!"
"Taoist Master Xie should be able to think of it." Du Heng said with a smile, "Of course it is to resist the Lord of the Central Thick Earth who will come here more than ten years later. The evil god from outside the territory is extremely powerful, and my strength has not yet fully recovered, so I have to find another way to fight against it.
The power of the gods in the heavenly realm came to resist."
That is to choose the person who is suitable for being a god.
The best way to talk about this kind of thing is not to explain it. The more explanations you give, the easier it will be for people to suspect, and then it will be possible to find out his true identity.
"However, this matter is full of doubts after all. It's so strange..."
"What?!" Xie Cang was shocked when he heard this.
Although neither the Taoist Master nor the Water God mentioned Du Heng, he knew in his heart that the reason why he was chosen as the Emperor of Heaven by the mysterious Taoist Master should be because of his disciple.
In the Jinxiading Ziqi Palace, everyone was still immersed in sadness.
The current leader of the Taiyin Sect actually announced in front of everyone present that the Taiyin Sect would be officially merged into the Chunyang Temple from today on, and he himself would become a disciple of the Chunyang Temple, in order to comfort Xie Cang's spirit in heaven.
Xie Cang bowed respectfully and said: "I have my wish, but I dare not ask you. Thank you so much for the title!"
Although this Taoist priest has never passed by, his mere presence is enough to be remembered in people's hearts.
In the past few years, the tentacles of the Taoist Palace Gathering have penetrated deeply into the Zhou Dynasty. To the top leaders of the world, it is no secret that there is an extremely mysterious sect organization secretly driving changes in the world.
Du Heng didn't know how powerful he was now, but even if he was only one-tenth of his strength, he only needed to blow a breath to wipe out the evil spirits from outside the world who had previously descended to this world.
"What a great blessing." Xie Cang said sincerely.
Later, Lin Qinghe, the current leader of Chunyang Temple, also came forward. Together with the Taiyin Cult leader, he told the true relationship between Chunyang Temple and Taiyin Cult, and the reasons why they did this.
The gods of the mountains, the eight righteous gods, the stars in the sky, and the stars in the sky are all within their authority.
They are——
However, when the contemporary leader of Taiyin Sect came to Xie Cang's mourning hall, it caused quite a stir.
He never thought that he would have the time to look back at the world.
Originally, when he was about to die and emerge, he had already decided to let go of everything in the world and no longer be obsessed with it. Now that he looked back at the world, he found that those obsessions that he had let go of were back again.
"Of course." Du Heng nodded and said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter."
After all, everyone in the world knows that the Water God has a close relationship with Du Heng. As early as when the late King Wei of Zhao and Tian Xing were still there, the Water God was helping Du Heng.
It is normal for the Emperor of Heaven to choose the person to be conferred as a god.
Xie Cang took a closer look at his disciples, and finally his eyes rested on Du Heng. He was very grateful to his talented disciple.
After conferring Xie Cangchi the title of Emperor of Heaven, Du Heng also gave him a special authority.
"Or is this actually the plan of an evil god from outside the territory?" Xie Cang suddenly became alarmed and thought to himself, "Could it be that an evil god from outside the territory took action and took away my soul when I was about to die, hoping to use it and use me
To deal with Xu Jing?
Xie Cang had many thoughts in his mind, constantly changing his guesses. It was really too strange to encounter such a thing when he was about to die, and what the mysterious man said was too bizarre for him to feel at ease.
Xie Cang had heard about this mysterious Taoist Master for a long time, but he did not expect that he would see him under such circumstances. He was immediately at a loss and said with cupped hands: "Xie Cang pays homage to Senior Taoist Master."
Next, Du Heng can also consecrate the gods of the mountains, the eight gods, the universal astrology, the stars in the sky, etc., to jointly form a complete heavenly court.
After all, the gods of the five elements are too powerful. Any one of them is the most peak existence in the world, and is already invincible in the eyes of many people.
…
Especially the Water God and the Golden God, Xie Cang has met them many times.
"How can the beauty of the world be destroyed by evil gods from outside the realm!" Xie Cang's eyes became firm and he said secretly, "For these descendants of mine, for Chunyang Temple, and for this world, I must do my best to help Taoist Master complete his plan.
.”
…
"I didn't expect that I would be able to inherit the blessings from my descendants after my death." Xie Cang smiled and looked at Du Heng with a gentle look. Then he flew up into the sky with a flicker of his body and lowered his eyes.
Now that decades have passed, Du Heng himself has broken through to the Nether Realm, and may have also occupied a place in that mysterious religious organization. It was probably his suggestion that he assume the position of Emperor of Heaven.
"Of course I believe it." Xie Cang also nodded, and his whole body relaxed a lot, and then asked, "But, Dao Zun, can you allow me to ask some questions?"
After the funeral, Du Heng began to open up the Heavenly Divine Court, and at the same time worked out the details of the authority of the gods' positions with Xie Cang as Taoist Master.
Afterwards, he devoted himself to studying new cultivation methods.
For Du Heng, the preparations for the Celestial Court have been completed, and the next primary goal is to strive to form the "One Qi Ancestor" Tao Seed before the Lord of the Central Thick Earth comes.
This is the key to increasing your chances of winning against the evil gods outside the territory!
