Only Names and Implements Must Not Be Entrusted to Others!
Fire Sovereign form is that of a middle-aged man dressed in a fiery red court robe, which is quite elegant. However, not only is his hair now messy, but even his Divine Eye can be faintly seen with firelight, and sparks occasionally fly out from his body.
Beside him floated a shadow, twisting and shifting, with fire within it, occasionally erupting with fluctuations of Domain of Law, ever-changing, sometimes as heavy as a mountain, sometimes as continuous as a river, sometimes as muddy as a swamp, and sometimes quiet and peaceful, as if soothing people's hearts.
The Fire Sovereign's perception permeated the shadow from top to bottom, intently sensing and not missing a single change or trace.
In the shadows, a subtle sensation, like flowing water, connects with the perception and the Fire Sovereign, slowly transmitting and gradually Divine Body, merging into the Incense Faith, being analyzed and comprehended, forming various insights, appearing in the mind of the deity, and faintly revealing the Human Path realm.
This shadowy figure was the strange object that had recently intruded into the Fire Sovereign Domain. It appeared to be a ghost, but it had little consciousness. Instead, it contained a great deal of Domain of Law aura and could also present the artistic conception of the Humanistic Fire Seed. The Fire Sovereign discovered its value and captured it on the spot.
After that, Fire Sovereign understood this object and meditated on it every day. His understanding became richer and richer, and gradually his whole body and mind were immersed in it. He felt that the path ahead of Divine Path was becoming clearer and clearer. As long as he could explore the mysteries of the soul shadow in one go, he could reach a higher level!
At such a moment, any disturbance would be unbearable for Fire Sovereign, yet he was unwilling to be distracted and let his enlightenment dissipate. That's why he was angry at the visiting Seventh Grade god. If he had been too anxious to comprehend, he would have rushed out and roared at him.
Now, Fire Sovereign had no choice but to patiently use his Divine Sense to capture a ball of light not far away.
This radiant light, glowing with emerald green, was composed of divine power. Within it, one could see countless seal characters floating and flowing, carrying various kinds of information.
Upon witnessing this, Fire Sovereign extended his finger, his fingertip touching the ball of light. The ball of light vanished instantly, like a burst soap bubble, but the information within flowed out, entering his Divine Body through his fingertip and being transmitted into his Divine Power Space.
The next moment, the Incense Faith converged in the past, enveloping and analyzing this Duan Xin.
However, even Fire Sovereign himself did not realize that a large part of the thoughts gathered in the past contained extremely fine black lines. The fluctuations and composition of these lines were exactly the same as those of the Incense Faith, and there was no unusual movement. Therefore, even the deity in question did not notice the difference.
Soon, the information was deciphered. It revealed that Fire Sovereign to the Yin-Yang Pagoda to discuss matters concerning the Netherworld Domain.
"Such a trivial matter, and you dare to disturb me, a god, and send me there? What for? To interrupt my comprehension? Can they bear the responsibility?!"
Having understood the message, Fire Sovereign's heart was ablaze with rage. His Divine Body emitted waves of energy that affected the ghost servant. The ghost servant felt a surge of Heart Fire his soul, becoming extremely violent. Before he even had a chance to cry out, he was burned to ashes, leaving not a trace.
Fire Sovereign made no comment, only letting out a cold snort. He then separated a portion of his Divine Sense, formed information, condensed it into a ball of flame, and flicked his finger, sending the flame flying out!
Whoosh!
The flames swept past, made a few turns, and arrived at the Fire Regent Palace. Without slowing down, they crashed straight into the Seventh Grade deity.
In an instant, flames shot into the sky, and the deity was sent flying through the air. After tumbling in mid-air, his Divine Sense power surged, and a well emerged from his entire Divine Body. He plummeted to the ground, took root, and finally came to a stop.
Then, the well moved and revealed the divine body again. However, the god's face was slightly pale and his clothes still had burn marks, but they were quickly recovering.
Boom!
At that moment, the ball of flame exploded, and a sound rang out—
"Alright! Take this ball of Thought Fire back and tell the prefect and the child-sending official that I have things to attend to and don't have time to meddle in other matters. Don't disturb my peace any longer. Show them out!"
As soon as the last two words were uttered, the entire hall instantly transformed, flames erupted, and it became a Sea of Fire!
Heat rises.
The Seventh Grade Well God dared not say more, nor did he hesitate any longer. He raised his hand and grasped a spark in his palm, swallowed his anger, bowed respectfully, and finally vanished in a flash of light. Before he came, he had anticipated that he might encounter such "courtesy." After all, the Fire Sovereign Divine Office's arrogance was well-known among the gods. Relying on his rank and backing, he never considered the feelings of others when he did things. Every god who dealt with him disliked him.
Having seen off the Well God, Fire Sovereign finally calmed down and withdrew his Divine Sense. The flames in his core area spread out again, obscuring his figure. This deity had once again immersed himself in comprehending the shadows. However, he was unaware that within his Divine Power Space, several strange Incense Faith were digesting various pieces of information.
The main content of this Duan Xin is to inquire about the details of capturing the Ghost Mother from the Fire Sovereign, and to subtly probe the matter of the Child-Giving God Feng Zhen.
However, although the information was deciphered, it was not grasped by the Fire Sovereign. Instead, it was intercepted by the Incense Faith, who simulated other content and allowed the gods to perceive it, thereby controlling the information.
Then, the Incense Faith slowly returned to their source, returning to the Divine Pool.
Beneath the Divine Pool, a faint shadow drifted, slowly growing. Because it resembled the Incense Faith and fire, it was almost indistinguishable. Furthermore, the Fire Sovereign had recently been engrossed in comprehending external things, and his mind was restless and unsettled, so he failed to discover this object.
This object is neither real nor illusory; it seems to be formed from the combined Incense Faith. On the surface, it appears to be controlled by the Fire Sovereign, but in reality, it is something else in disguise, slowly gathering the surrounding thoughts and intentions, concentrating them on its body...
Outside, as Fire Sovereign began to comprehend the matter anew, the entire Fire Regent Palace returned to tranquility.
"Desire stirs the human heart, even the gods are no exception. The more one tries to comprehend the Fire Sovereign, the more one is Feeling Aggregate, and in the end, one can only end up with nothing."
Inside the Eastern Capital Inn, Qiu Yan put down the Jade Basin in his hand and shook his head.
Before infiltrating the Yin-Yang Pagoda, in order to restrain Fire Sovereign, I left an object in his Domain of Law, mixed with Heart Demon Fragment, which I deliberately allowed Fire Sovereign to obtain.
It should be understood that Heart Demon Fragment can create feelings out of thin air, giving people the illusion of having gained some understanding even when they have not.
As Fire Sovereign's "comprehension" deepened, the Heart Demon Fragment gradually seeped into his divine heart, growing with the help of Incense Thoughts. Without attracting the other party's attention, they constantly created new sensations, giving Fire Sovereign the illusion of increasing progress, making him addicted and gradually unable to extricate himself. The Divine Sense's descent into depravity, in turn, promoted the growth of the Heart Demon Fragment.
After the Heart Demon Clone returned from the Pitch-Black Space, it broke into numerous fragments, which lay dormant in various hearts. It recovered and grew stronger by devouring thoughts, insights, and emotional fluctuations. However, how could the hearts of ordinary people compare to those of gods? The thoughts of gods are inherently imbued with the incense offerings of believers, pure and unadulterated, making them the ideal prey for the Heart Demon. Therefore, this restless and unsettled Fire Sovereign has become a breeding ground for the Heart Demon.
"These days, through the help of the Heart Demon Clone, the true divine being has comprehended the Dao of Raging Fire Heart Fire and Wrath, while the Heart Demon itself has also gained something, accumulating and brewing, and soon it will be able to sublimate and transform..."
As he pondered, Qiu Yan stood up, formed hand seals, and walked around the room, releasing a faint aura that isolated the entire room from the outside world.
Then, he returned to the table, picked up the White Jade Paperweight again, and slowly placed it into the Jade Basin.
Instantly, invisible ripples spread across the Jade Basin, and rich Literary Thought surged forth, accompanied by the sound of reading aloud. If the room had not been isolated, these sounds and Literary Thought would have caused a great stir.
As Literary Thought flowed, water droplets appeared in the Jade Basin, reflecting figures of people reciting, reading, or writing.
"This Jade Basin has an extraordinary origin, containing the Sage Spirit, but it is locked away and difficult to learn. However, after examining it just now, I roughly know how to use this Jade Basin. If used properly, it can restore one's Literary Thought."
A thought flashed through Qiu Yan's mind, and he suddenly froze. He sensed an alluring atmosphere from the Jade Basin, and the water of Literary Thought within released a tempting aroma, stirring Qiu Yan heart and making him want to drink it. It was as if drinking this water of Literary Thought would immediately make his Literary Thought like a spring!
Slowly, Qiu Yan stepped forward and picked up the Jade Basin.
From within the basin, it seemed as if a gentle voice was whispering in his ear—
"Drink up, drink up! Of all the talents in the world, eight out of ten are here! After drinking this, your talent will be eight times greater!"
This voice is bewitching, captivating the mind and spirit.
But Qiu Yan suddenly laughed, "What a fine Jade Basin! Since you are jade, you should know how to be a humble gentleman, gentle and refined like jade. Why do you resort to these bewitching and seductive tricks? The world is complicated, and the mortal realm is full of temptations that can wear down one's will. But one must have a bottom line. The gentlemen of old could be entrusted with the care of an orphan, or with the fate of a hundred miles of land. They could not be swayed in the face of great adversity. Since I, Qiu Yan, am learned and understand principles, how could I possibly seize the Literary Thought that allows others to make a living?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand and splashed the water of Literary Thought in the basin, which then flew into the air!
Then Qiu Yan's body was shaken, and the living soul that was half-stepped fused jumped out from the sky spirit, releasing the scriptures and literary thoughts, which echoed the aura of literary thoughts in the room. Then four bookshelves flew out, surrounded the living soul, and formed the word "knowledge" in the soul!
This character flew out, disintegrated, and reformed, forming a row.
Names and titles, however, cannot be given to others!
This phrase is used by ministers to advise their monarchs, referring to the fact that titles, ranks, and corresponding ceremonial implements should not be easily granted to others. It is used to illustrate that orthodoxy, righteousness, and responsibility cannot be shirked at will. However, Qiu Yan here interprets it as referring to Literary Thought and knowledge, representing the foundation upon which many Confucian scholars stand, which should not be given to others!
As soon as this column of words came out, the artistic conception released spread to the whole room, and then the words condensed into a word "", scattered and radiated, integrating into the whole room of literary thoughts!
The next moment, his Literary Thought surged, and chains of Karma emerged one after another, extending out of the room.
After witnessing this scene, Qiu Yan's Living Soul uttered the word "Go".
Suddenly, a strong wind arose in the room, and strands of Literary Thought, following the Karma -effect connection, broke through the window and scattered in all directions!
