Divine Land Grand Gathering, Spiral View, and Wuzhiqi
In the Qin state, in its capital Xianyang, the majestic palace dome shone brilliantly in the sunlight. Amidst the towering stone pillars, the figure seated on the throne slowly opened his eyes.
With his hair tied up in a tall crown, wearing a crown with tassels and beaded curtains, and dressed in a black robe painted with flying black birds, King Ying Zheng of Qin stared at the bamboo slips on the table in front of him.
The words "Great disaster in Chu Land, Donghua, Taiyi..." describe the events that occurred in Chu Land recently.
As the Lord the most powerful nation in the world, Ying Zheng was undoubtedly aware of the consequences of the situation.
That's why that cotton silk letter came about.
That's why we have this scene of the King of Qin sitting high in the palace.
"Zhao Gao, has the letter been delivered?" Ying Zheng raised his eyes and asked the figure below the steps.
"Your Majesty, the letter has been delivered to Xu Fu!" Zhao Gao replied with a bow.
With a sudden thud, the King of Qin rose abruptly, his long robe billowing as his sleeves fluttered, and the sword hanging at his waist was drawn, flashing with a cold, thunderous light.
With a crash, the table shattered and the floor cracked.
"This sword is sharp enough."
"My Qin Sword is sharp enough."
"I wonder what kind of splendor the sword of the Immortals and Gods Donghua possesses?"
Ying Zheng raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a rather expectant smile, "Pass down the order."
"From this day forward, our Great Qin will constantly light lanterns and gather the essence of the sun to pave the roads of Qin—"
"To demonstrate the sincerity of our Great Qin."
"To welcome—"
"Immortal Lord Qin!"
In the ninth year of Qin First Emperor, he ordered that the essence of the sun be collected to pave roads, and that lanterns be hung for ten days to await the arrival of the Eastern Flower King of Qin.
'The Annals of the First Emperor '
Meanwhile, the wind and rain had stopped, but the puddles still flowed across the streets, forming small streams. On the streets of Yan State, Jing Ke, swaying and reeking of alcohol Jing Ke at Rovi's sleeve, completely unconcerned about Rovi's far superior status and strength. "Although you are a celestial emperor, you certainly don't know as much about the affairs of this mortal world as I do!"
"Don't let my lack of the Immortal Realm fool you; I, Jing Ke, am famously known for having many friends across this Divine Land... hiccup..."
The young female swordsman, reeking of alcohol, acted in a manner that darkened Yu Ji's pretty face, her delicate brows furrowing. "What an impudent fellow..."
Even I haven't gotten this close to this guy!
However, the people of Rovi didn't seem to care at all.
Whether it was a god or an immortal, Rovi never felt that he was much superior to others in terms of personality, or that he had ever seen beings far stronger than himself. In his view, he had never really been any different from the masses of this world.
So he just laughed and said, "Then you'd like to show me what you've got?"
"I definitely need to see it!" Jing Ke exhaled, her lips pouting.
Her free and unrestrained spirit, perhaps it was this seemingly insightful courage that enabled her to perform the heroic act of Jing Ke's Jing Ke.
It should be understood that in this era before the complete decline of the divine age, the ruler of the Nine Provinces of Huaxia, destined to unify the eight wastelands, would in no way be lower in rank than the Emperor—
Jing Ke pulled Rovi forward.
However, Rovi suddenly felt his other sleeve being grabbed as well. He turned his head and met a pair of crimson eyes.
"Hey, slow down!" Yu Ji snorted. "Walking like this, where's your manners?"
"Do I even have to teach you this kind of romantic gesture? It's so annoying—"
All this nagging and chattering is just an excuse for myself.
"Hahaha, what use is elegance? A mouthful of wine is better!" Jing Ke laughed heartily.
"Speaking of wine, I've seen far more than you have. Have you ever smelled the first cup of Dukang's finest wine?"
"Oh?" Jing Ke's attention was immediately piqued. "Du Kang? Is he the god of wine who brewed wine under the command of Xuanyuan? He's even drunk such an ancient divine substance? No wonder he's a Immortal Lord attendant under a celestial lord—"
Maidservant? Fairy Boy?
Yu Ji: "???"
"You are the fairy boy, you are the maid!"
Ignoring the inexplicable conversation between the two, although Rovi was being pulled by the sleeves on both sides, it was more like he was pulling two 'children'. One was gentle yet stubborn, and the other was dashing and full of heroic spirit. The two of them inevitably attracted the attention of people on the street.
The very existence of Rovi has drawn even more attention...
"We eagerly await the arrival of the Immortal Lord!"
A voice from ahead abruptly interrupted Yu Ji and Jing Ke's conversation. Yu Ji raised an eyebrow, her face showing disdain, while Jing Ke smiled, "Senior Huang Shigong, you've come too?"
"I heard that Immortal Lord has arrived, how could I not come?" It seems that although Luo Rovi and Jing Ke met by chance, Jing Ke had already secretly sent a message to those participating in the ' Divine Land Grand Gathering '.
"Immortal Lord, I am..."
"A descendant of the Yu family, a lineage of Jiang Shang, the Supreme Ruler of Tianqi, and a descendant of Fuxi." Facing Zheng Yi, who was bowing to Huang Shigong, Rovi simply nodded. "I have long admired your name."
This moment is different from the previous one, when he and Xunzi looked at each other across the sea. He was both an emperor and a descendant. At that time, it didn't matter if they bowed to each other. But now it's different.
He is 'Taiyi', he is 'Donghua'.
The person in front of him was a descendant of the Yu family.
Their identities and social status are not to be confused or discussed openly.
Huang Shigong could not accept the courtesy he received.
"With a single thought, one can know the universe; truly worthy of being called Immortal Lord." Huang Shigong chuckled as he stroked his long beard. From his appearance, he seemed to be nothing more than a kind-faced old man.
"Inside, inside!"
"It is a rare honor for Immortal Lord to grace us with his presence; this is an unprecedented celebration since the end of the Shang Dynasty."
"Let's go, let's go, let's go!"
Jing Ke took the lead, but saw a mist rising at the end of the street, layer upon layer. Taking a step forward felt like entering another world.
Like. Or rather, the root is.
Just one step away, the scenery of the street behind you suddenly disappears, and all around you is a beautiful landscape of mountains and clear waters.
A single step can feel like an eternity.
In the terminology of the Atlantis Civilization, this is 'space folding technology'; in the terminology of Western Magecraft, it is ' Reality Marble '.
If we use Eastern terminology...
"Hmm? This is actually a grotto-heaven? And ancient Grotto-Heaven at that!?" Yu Ji exclaimed in surprise, having not set foot in this world for so long. The 'foundation' of these cultivators from Shenzhou, who had only reached the Immortal realm after the departure of the ancient Immortals and Gods, seemed to exceed her expectations...
Huang Shigong said with a smile, "As expected of the fairy maid and attendant of the Immortal Lord, Guo Xin is very knowledgeable."
Yu Ji remained silent.
She really didn't want to talk.
She remained silent, but another voice rang out. "We have inherited much glory from our ancestors, but unfortunately, we ourselves have not strived to carry it forward."
The light swept across like a whisk, and a figure emerged from it.
He said, "The age of gods is coming to an end. In order to preserve our mysterious heritage, we have no choice but to gather here."
"Through our heritage, we gather boundless spirals to form a stable and mysterious 'plate,' thus creating the Spiral View."
"If the Immortal Lord is willing to help, we will be eternally grateful; if not, we still humbly request to take a look."
Without a doubt, this is a grand event to continue the legacy. The Western magic world has a foundation, which was built by the Magic King Solomon with the help of his "Yahweh".
The East, too, should have its own distinct "plate".
The tall, slender man bowed and said, "I am a descendant of the Mo family, and I pay my respects to Immortal Lord Immortal Lord!"
A robust old man strode over. "A descendant of Agriculturalist School greets the Immortal Lord!"
"A descendant of School of Military greets the Immortal Lord!"
"..."
One after another, most of them were descendants of the philosophers and scholars of the Zhou dynasty.
The "Divine Land Grand Gathering" that Jing Ke spoke of was, in essence, a meeting of the various schools of thought.
After all, most of the Taoist School in ancient China inherited their traditions from ancient sages and deities. For example, Daoism was founded by Fuxi, while the Agriculturalist School, though initially descended from the Mohist School, continued and inherited the ideas of Shennong. The School of Military can be traced back to the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, and the Confucianism School revered the Duke of Zhou of Duke of Zhou the hexagrams...
This is also the most quintessential group of people remaining in Divine Land today.
Even with the same meaning, there are exceptions.
For example, the chivalrous Jing Ke did not belong to any school; he was unrestrained and free-spirited, yet he could still be included among them based on his personality and martial arts skills.
For example, Rovi, who was suddenly pulled over, is the Emperor Dong Hua, now the most powerful Immortals and Gods in the Divine Land.
For example...
"Are they finally all ready? I've been waiting for so long, I even fell asleep waiting!"
A crisp sound came from above. The trees on both sides of the cave, which was covered by shade, swayed, and a figure leaped from a tree and landed in front of them.
Her long, flowing hair accentuated her slender figure, and the white, light silk dress she wore outlined her tall curves. The falling strands of hair covered half of her face, revealing a magnificent color in her left eye. Bells jingled in her ear, and her appearance was exquisite, yet carried a hint of untamed arrogance.
"Lord Wuzhiqi, I apologize for keeping you waiting."
Huang Shigong spoke respectfully, "It's just to wait for a distinguished guest..."
"Indeed a distinguished guest, and one of immeasurable importance." Before Huang Shigong could finish speaking, the white-haired woman looked at Rovi and Rovi Yu Ji him.
"And he even brought along an acquaintance, don't you think? Immortal Yu?"
"Who do I think it is? It's you, you stinky monkey." Clearly, Yu Ji and she knew each other.
The woman, referred to as Wuzhiqi, also laughed, "Still the same temperament, unchanged in the slightest."
Are you looking for the master of the succulent?
"You're the one who's looking for a master—you wild female monkey!"
"Wild monkeys don't have owners."
"..."
"Then—" Wuzhiqi, having finished his banter, turned his gaze to the truly noble person. "This Emperor Dong Hua, who suddenly appeared after the Immortals and Gods departed, I have long admired your name... well, not long, at most just a few days."
"I have long admired your name, Your Excellency. You are Wuzhiqi, the monster that once wreaked havoc Divine Land." Rovi Wei knew the ancient water god of the Huai River and the divine monster that stirred up huge waves during the time of Emperor Yu's flood control efforts.
It is both a water god and a monster.
It belongs to one of the Ancient Demon God, and is the embodiment of flood disasters.
Hearing Rovi's words, Wuzhiqi revealed a rather nostalgic expression. "The upheavals... I really miss that time."
"It's a pity that he played too much and was suppressed by Emperor Yu. He can only use his clone to move around today."
What appeared here was indeed the water god and monster's avatar named ' Wuzhiqi ', a purely flexible vessel directly constructed by Him through His connection with the planet as an immortal, the manifestation of the "Yang God".
His true form is still suppressed beneath the Huai River by the power left behind by Emperor Yu, unable to break free.
Therefore, she was unable to participate in the Investiture of the Gods War, and she knew she could not, like other Immortals and Gods, transcend the stars and reach the universe.
Just like Yu Ji, who has been asleep and is merely an observer, Wuzhiqi is also one of the few ancient immortals Immortals and Gods who remain on the Divine Land.
Now, he appears as one of the key figures in this grand event.
I was invited.
As one of the main components of the "plate".
"Where did you come from? Among the ancient gods, I have never heard of your name— Emperor Dong Hua."
With Heart Monkey and a wild, Wuzhiqi nature, Wuzhiqi, as one of the ancient gods, was extremely powerful. He had also seen the ancient gods of the Divine Land. Therefore, he did not treat Rovi with the same respect as others, but was full of curiosity and even slightly provocative.
The woman with disheveled white hair walked up to Rovi and looked him up and down...
She leaned forward slightly, tiptoed, and as she heaved her full chest, she raised a finger and lifted his chin. "Hmm!?"
Do all the 'demon gods' in China like to do this?
The previous Tamamo no Mae also...
"You monkey..." Yu Ji couldn't help but get angry.
Wuzhiqi, however, did not care at all. "Although I can't do anything to you, you couldn't beat me back then. Now, even though I only have one clone, you still can't beat me, so don't waste your time, Immortal Yu."
Yu Ji glared angrily, about to make a move.
Rovi Wei remained expressionless...
I tapped the 'chaos' in my mind.
Block the ground.
Wuzhiqi's brain was concussed and buzzing.
The voice was like a resounding bell, carrying countless intangible murmurs, leaving the ancient water god and demon god completely dumbfounded.
In her hazy state, she seemed to see endless chaos, madness, inversion, confusion... endless babbling exploded in her ears.
"Now, can we talk properly?" Rovi Wei said, though it could only be considered a small lesson... After all Wuzhiqi could only be described as an offense, not an enemy.
only...
"Is it acceptable to make your mother like this?!" Wuzhiqi suddenly blurted out, spewing profanities.
"..."
I just want to wake you up, not make you learn... And what is this "speaking nonsense" thing?! Has it evolved?
Fortunately Wuzhiqi had indeed calmed down at this moment. "Hoo... My Heart Monkey, and I really can't control it. No wonder Emperor Yu Great made me subdue my Heart Monkey before I could break the seal—"
The nature of monkeys has always been a major problem for Wuzhiqi.
Her provocative actions just now were not what she wanted.
Rather, it's their nature that's hard to change.
but...
"It seems that Emperor Dong Hua's abilities can help me with this?" Wuzhiqi looked at Rovi, his eyes shining.
Yu Ji finally couldn't hold back any longer and stood in front of Rovi: "Enough!"
"Hahaha, this is really lively!" Jing Ke grinned, looking like he was enjoying the show.
