The Great Emperor of Fengdu Guides the Way Forward
On the high platform in the center of the hall, a young man in imperial robes, whose face was obscured, sat upright. Behind his mind, divine halos of laws shone, and sacred images such as the Netherworld, the Lake of Reincarnation, and the Golden Lotus of Reincarnation manifested.
His aura exuded a vast and majestic divine dominance, which unconsciously made Simu want to kneel down and prostrate himself.
Upon seeing this important person before him, Simu also put aside his usual playful nature and calmly paid his respects.
"Your Simu Judgment Office Bureau, pays respects to the Lord of the Netherworld, the Great Emperor of Fengdu."
After saying this, Simu paused, as if waiting for the Lord of the Netherworld's response.
Upon seeing the Lord of the Netherworld merely nod slightly, Simu thought to himself, "As expected."
"This divine Avatar of the Netherworld Ruler is extremely indifferent. He will not pay any attention to our pleasantries."
Immediately, Simu stopped thinking about anything else, bowed again, and spoke of the troubles he had been going through over the years, asking for guidance from the Lord of the Netherworld.
"Your Majesty, the Simu, a Daoist Spirit-Commanding Heaven-Petitioning Daoist arts, has attained enlightenment based on the [Moon Yin Divine Talisman], which has led to a deeper understanding of the moon's imagery in the Netherworld. I wonder if I should revise this imagery to align it more closely with the Supreme Yin, or continue to delve deeper into the imagery of the Netherworld. I humbly request Your Majesty's guidance."
Wang An's divine Avatar, formed from the power of faith, while not as capable as his original self, still has a Yin Spirit residing within it, making it equivalent to a fully-fledged Dao Foundation cultivator with the Purple Mansion cultivation, carrying out the routine administrative affairs of the Lord of the Netherworld.
This also includes Guidance those cultivators who face difficulties on their path.
Thus, the Yin Spirit communicated with the Lord of the Netherworld through its thoughts, mobilizing its powerful domain calculation ability, and in just a moment, it had already calculated the approximate problems in the cultivation of the Simu.
Yin Spirit Shen quickly organized his thoughts, and slowly spoke as he controlled his divine Avatar. His voice was indeed as heavy as a thousand pounds, and boundless Dao essence was born within it.
"Your path is deeply connected to my Netherworld, with numerous karmic entanglements. If you wish to return to the mortal realm, you will likely need to find a way to sever these karmic ties. This will be extremely costly and difficult for you, and you will find it hard to bear."
"If you were to completely transform this image of the bright moon into the image of the dark moon, your cultivation in the Netherworld would be twice as effective. However, you still need to consider this carefully. This image of the bright moon lies between the Netherworld and the mortal realm. Once it is completely transformed, your future path will be closely intertwined with the Netherworld."
After saying this, the Great Emperor of Fengdu fell silent, waiting for Simu to make a decision.
Before coming here, Simu had some vague guesses about this outcome.
He joined Mount Mao as a child and began to deal with zombies and ghosts.
Although there wasn't the abundant cultivation energy we have now, most of what we dealt with were ordinary things.
Now that he has joined the ranks of judges in the Netherworld, he naturally will not give up these opportunities that others envy.
His gaze hardened immediately, and he bowed down in gratitude.
"Your Majesty, I have thought this through. I wish to shift my focus to cultivating the Netherworld's Moon Imagery. I humbly request Your Majesty's Guidance on the path ahead. Where should I go from here?"
A hint of admiration flashed in the eyes of the Great Emperor of Fengdu for Simu's clear understanding and decisive decision.
"Good"
"Now listen carefully. How much you absorb depends entirely on your individual affinity and cannot be forced."
"Your extraordinary profession, natal talisman, and the imagery of the bright moon, after switching to the Nether Moon cultivation path, may allow you to pursue the path of forgiveness in the Netherworld. Using your natal talisman as a foundation, you can be bestowed with talismanic lineages to guide evil spirits and accumulate Qi Destiny."
"The imagery of cultivation can perhaps be centered on the Nether Moon, primarily explaining my Netherworld Moon. This moon is the Lesser Yin Nether Moon, possessing countless Spirituality vitalitys; it is the source of life force for countless beings in my Netherworld, and the grand path to ascending to the Purple Mansion Loose Immortal realm."
"If one achieves something after this, one can grasp the principle of Yin and Yang's mutual generation, and further cultivate the imagery of the Netherworld and the imagery of life and death in the Yellow Springs, evolving the path of Yin and Yang's mutual generation and Yin and Yang's annihilation, which is not bad either..."
"As for the specific type of talisman to use to forge your destiny, that's something you'll have to decide for yourself."
Simu was so engrossed in the predictions made by the Lord of the Netherworld, the Great Emperor of Fengdu, about his future that he seemed unwilling to wake up, and indeed he was unable to remember even the slightest bit of knowledge about the Second Tier level of cultivation.
Only when the Great Emperor of Fengdu fell silent did he suddenly realize what had happened, and for a moment he felt a sense of loss.
When the Great Emperor of Fengdu saw that he was conscious, he waved his sleeve and sent him out of the main hall.
Immediately following this, Yixiu entered the path, Great Emperor of Fengdu continued to deduce Yixiu.
While the Yin Spirit dealt with matters of the Netherworld, Wang An's physical body had already begun to use the [Illusory Heaven Purifying Water] Dharma Nature to fuse the water resources of the laws of life and death, completing the last missing law of the Heavenly River Water Dharma Nature, in preparation for the next step of the Golden Nature Ritual.
At the same time, after he began to complete the Dharma Nature, two orders were issued to his three disciples.
To further expand the coverage of the Purification Heavenly River, connecting Venus and Mars, two rocky planets with a large number of extraordinary life forms.
The method of refining spiritual water, which aligns with the imagery of the Heavenly River Water and is suitable for the Qi Refining and Dao Foundation stages, which has been developed over the years, will be popularized throughout the entire Human Federation.
These methods are the necessary preparations for performing the Golden Nature Ceremony.
Even though he had deduced all the methods for refining spiritual water from Qi Refining to Second Tier tier, it still required human intervention to generate the corresponding imagery. It even required leveraging the infinite possibilities of civilized life to create new Daoist knowledge related to the Heavenly River Water that he himself had never considered, thus expanding the conceptual boundaries of the Heavenly River Water.
Ultimately, it is the wisdom and inspiration of countless intelligent beings that, after such rituals are accomplished, enables the Golden Nature and profound laws to withstand the erosive power brought about by the collision of countless laws in the universe, and only then can it be called the Imperishable Golden Nature.
Even relying on this bit of Golden Nature, the Great Universe and the Transcendent Dao Tree can still grant him a High Tier status, helping him to enter a higher level.
He had also made arrangements for his disciples Avatar the other side in advance.
As more and more worlds rise to prominence, although there are high-priced adults to handle them, Wang An also keenly senses that a chaotic world is coming.
It was no longer appropriate for his disciples to follow him; they would return to Blue Star aboard Second Tier warship dispatched by the Bronze Academy's exchange team.
At his current pace of absorbing knowledge and cultivation on the Divine Tree of Wisdom in the Bronze Academy, it would take him decades or even centuries to complete this task.
He didn't say anything about this progress to his disciples or the professors and mentors of the Bronze Academy, otherwise they would have been even more astonished.
After all, although the Divine Tree of Wisdom in the Bronze Academy only contains knowledge of cultivation below the Middle Tier 3, it is still an enormous amount for a civilization with a history of over a million years. Just memorizing it would take hundreds or thousands of years.
Not to mention absorbing it all and transforming it into one's own spiritual power to advance one's cultivation.
