Chapter 1240: Chapters 1188-1189 Four Heavens Gate Heavenly Gifts The Path of the Future_2 Chapter 1240: Chapters 1188-1189 Four Heavens Gate Heavenly Gifts The Path of the Future_2 “With the Heavenly Court in session, and all the Gods returning to their positions, we ask Heaven and Earth to bestow their seals!” Pei Xuanjing, holding the Gods Sealing List in one hand and the God-beating Whip in the other, stood solemnly before the Lingxiao Palace of the Heavenly Court and spoke out loud.
The Lingxiao Palace, also known as the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, is the foremost of the many palaces in the Heavenly Court and the dwelling of the future Emperor of Heaven, under the watchful eye of the Will of Heaven and Earth.
The most important goal of Enthroning Gods is to officially enthrone all Gods, receive blessings from Heaven and Earth, and then gain recognition from Heaven and Earth to achieve Longevity.
The recent Enthroning Gods ceremony was only to complete all the Divine Positions, but since the Heavenly world had not made its appearance, the blessings of Heaven and Earth were not yet bestowed.
This moment, with the Heavenly Court in place and the Gods in their positions, represented the genuine, perfect completion of the Enthroning Gods.
Indeed, following the end of Pei Xuanjing’s speech, Heaven and Earth thundered loudly, especially in the Heavenly world where the Will of Heaven and Earth resides, allowing an even clearer sensation of the Will of Heaven and Earth.
Boom, boom, boom…
Zi Qi came from the east, spanning thirty thousand miles, instantly enveloping the entire sky. This Qi descended from the firmament, blessing every creature between Heaven and Earth.
Under the completion of the Three Talents–Heaven, Earth and Man–by the human race, followed by all Gods returning to their positions, transformation naturally unfolded as Heaven and Earth reached their full circle.
No matter whether they had participated in the War of Sealing Gods or not, every creature in the Great Ming World received these benefactions, it was simply a matter of more or less.
Of course, those who did not partake in the War of Sealing Gods merely received the most ordinary of benefactions, deemed the lowest.
And for those who did take part in the War, the benefactions varied according to their achievements.
“My arm, it has actually regrown?”
“My lame leg is healed?”
“I’ve become younger?”
“I’ve broken through?”
“…”
In the Mortal Realm, many commoners from the human race found their illnesses vanishing in the instant the Zi Qi entered their bodies.
Even the cultivators who were free from calamities, thanks to the infusion of Zi Qi, overcame the barriers that had previously held them back, stepping into a higher Realm.
All beings between Heaven and Earth reaped rewards, with the Demon Race taken by numerous True Immortals and Monster Gods. Those who were obstinately unenlightened were slain, some were subdued, and there also remained unenlightened beasts.
Heaven and Earth are impartial, and although the human race has seized the dominant role, all creatures are nonetheless the progeny of Heaven and Earth, receiving transformation during the descent of the Zi Qi.
Severely injured Great Demons and Demon Kings, with the help of Zi Qi, found renewal of life; many wild beasts that had not yet awakened their senses suddenly became aware, and embarked on the path of cultivation.
It seemed the Demon Race had not been extinguished from the world; like the grass that resists being burned away by wildfire, they once again appeared upon the land.
As for this, the powerful beings of the human race had already become aware but did not accept the extermination of the Demon Race.
Firstly, as the Demon Race is part of all creatures, Heaven and Earth do not permit their eradication.
Secondly, the human race needs training, and the existence of the Demon Race provides opponents, which is of great use to humanity…
“The former failures will never again have the chance to defeat the human race. Instead, retaining these Demons stands as a witness to the brilliance of our human race.”
That is the thought of the strong ones of the human race.
After weighing the options, they realized that from all perspectives, the presence of the Demon Race is beneficial to the human race; hence, they naturally would not completely obliterate the Demon Race.
So even though there were signs that the Demon Race was resurging, the strong practitioners of the human race did not take it to heart.
At this moment, the strong practitioners of the human race were all accepting the divine bestowal from heaven and earth, seizing every minute and second to upgrade their strength, including the True Immortals.
The War of Sealing Gods, besides giving those cultivators who could not step onto the Immortal Path a chance for longevity, was also an opportunity for those strong practitioners stuck at the threshold of the Immortal Path to break free from their bonds.
Now that divine bestowal had descended, all the strong practitioners were seizing the chance to advance in their cultivation.
The divine bestowal was granted according to the achievements of these strong practitioners in the War of Sealing Gods, as well as the Divine Positions and authority they obtained, so different cultivators received different divine bestowals and therefore different gains.
However, when these divine bestowals descended, all the strong practitioners had earlier made some predictions, and what was happening now was not far off from their estimates.
Enthroning Gods, aside from those who really obtained a Divine Position and controlled authority, primarily comprised the human race soldiers who participated in the beginning, who transformed into the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, serving as the invincible army that would suppress the heavens and earth and campaign against other worlds for the Heavenly Court in the future.
The cultivation level of the original human army soldiers was mostly between the First Layer and the Third Layer of the Spirit Realm, and stepping into the Fourth Layer of the Spirit Realm would qualify one to become a general commanding troops and horses.
The human soldiers transformed into Heavenly Soldiers numbered approximately one hundred and ninety-six million, each one a cream of the crop, able to defeat several practitioners stronger than their own realm. Having gone through the Conferred God War, they were truly an invincible force.
After this divine bestowal and the baptism of heaven and earth, almost every one of them had their strength increased by one level on average, with some of the outstanding ones even advancing by two or three levels, undoubtedly making this invincible army of the Heavenly Court even more formidable.
The other strong practitioners who were conferred Divine Positions, aside from those in the Strongest Realm, nearly all had their strength increased by at least one level.
Even for those at the Heavenly Chasm of Supreme Strong, it was unknown how many cultivators took this opportunity to completely cross that gap, multiplying the number of Supreme Strong in this world by several times.
As for the cultivators in the Supreme Strong Realm, although they did not break through to the next realm with this bestowal, they nevertheless walked further within the realm of Supreme Strong, touching the threshold of the Immortal Path and earning the title of Supreme Overlord.
As for the gains of the Supreme Overlords, only they truly knew what they achieved, as they did not immediately show it.
After all, even among the Supreme Overlords, the moment that the Divine Tree Fruit appeared, they were also subtly divided into two levels.
One level was that of those who had already refined the Divine Tree Fruit and touched upon the opportunity for a breakthrough, having only left to attempt the celestial trials to ascend to the True Immortal Realm. The other was those who, despite reaching the threshold, still lacked that slim chance.
Now, the divine bestowal from heaven and earth presented these strong practitioners with an opportunity to completely solidify their foundation and then touch upon the chance for a breakthrough, ready to attempt inciting the celestial trials.
“Such a divine bestowal is of little use to me,” Pei Xuanjing mused as he watched the descending Zi Qi, slightly shaking his head, then gently waved his sleeve, letting it fall upon his Divine Tao incarnation, the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life.
He had already obtained the Three Proofs on the Immortal Path and had walked on it for a long time. He was known as a Profound Immortal.
The bestowal from heaven and earth after the enshrining of gods was just a trivial part of his realm’s upgrade; even if he refined it, it would only add some mana.
But being in the Great Ming World, as the bearer of the will of heaven and earth and holding a portion of the heavenly authority, he would never have a moment when his mana was exhausted, nor could anyone force him to that step.
So rather than adding flowers to brocade, it was better to send charcoal in snowy weather, bestowing it upon his Divine Tao incarnation that bore the title of Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life.
Although this Divine Tao incarnation that he divided had the power of a True Immortal, from Pei Xuanjing’s perspective, it was still somewhat weak.
Pei Xuanjing looked forward with anticipation for the continuous growth of this Divine Tao incarnation as the foundation for his next plan.
In the quest for the Immortal Path, Pei Xuanjing had few references to guide his future, and everything was based on his own deductions and assumptions. Whether these deductions and assumptions were correct or useful needed constant trial and error.
His previous deduction proposed two paths on the Immortal Path: one was to deeply cultivate one of the five Immortal Paths of Heaven, Earth, True Immortal, God, Human, and Ghost, then, after reaching the pinnacle, to turn around and cultivate the others.
The other was the path he was currently on, which was to gather proof on all five paths of Heaven, Earth, True Immortal, God, Human, and Ghost, and then continue to deepen his cultivation.
Now that he had already obtained the Three Proofs of True Immortal, God, Human, and Ghost, the paths of Earth Immortal and Heavenly Immortal were not far off, Pei Xuanjing naturally had to consider his future path.
And undoubtedly, differentiating this Divine Tao incarnation was Pei Xuanjing’s current groundwork for his future path.
