Old Five is a Goose.
Chapter 1083 Saint's Divine Decree
After grumbling, Kun Yun's expression turned serious again. "The number of divine positions is limited. The competition for each position is a blood-soaked chronicle of slaughter. Apart from some unacknowledged, self-proclaimed divine positions, the true positions are the Eight Sages, the Four Dao Lords, the Three Loose Saints, the Twelve God Emperors, one hundred and eight Proper Gods, and one hundred and eight Guardian Gods. The one hundred and eight Proper Gods are further divided into thirty-six Departments and seventy-two Regions. Beyond these, there are thirteen thousand six hundred and eighty lesser deities."
The Leaving Heaven God King and the others were stunned, but Mo Wuji said, "Brother Kun Yun, according to you, there seem to be quite a few divine positions."
Kun Yun scoffed. "Quite a few? Do you know how many divine realms, similar to ours, exist in the vast universe? Do you know how many powerful cultivators in each divine realm compete for a mere position of a lesser deity?
A measly ten thousand divine positions, and you think that's a lot?"
Mo Wuji asked, "Brother Kun Yun, it seems you yourself hold a divine position. What is it?"
Kun Yun said proudly, "I was one of the thirty-six Departments of the Proper Gods. Alas, I couldn't escape the Great Calamity and nearly had my soul extinguished. As long as I still exist, no one will easily seize my divine position."
Hearing that Kun Yun was actually one of the thirty-six Departments of the one hundred and eight Proper Gods, the Leaving Heaven God King and the others stood up and bowed respectfully once more.
Mo Wuji, however, was inwardly shocked. He knew how powerful Kun Yun was. For such a strong individual to be just one of the one hundred and eight Proper Gods… In his mind, even if he wasn't one of the Four Dao Lords or Three Loose Saints, he should at least be a God Emperor, right?
It seemed that, short of being a Sage, the Twelve God Emperors, Four Dao Lords, and Three Loose Saints were all unparalleled powerhouses.
"How about that? Intimidated, aren't you? Old Brother Wuji, stick with me, and when I reclaim my divine position, I'll definitely get you a small one," Kun Yun said smugly.
Mo Wuji shook his head and sighed. "Brother Kun Yun, I thought even if you couldn't become a Sage, you should at least be a God Emperor. Never imagined you'd only be one of the thirty-six Departments of the Proper Gods, and even had your body shattered, forced to hide in a low-level plane's crack just to survive."
"You…" Kun Yun was so angered by Mo Wuji's words that he nearly spat blood. What did he mean by 'only one of the thirty-six Departments'? Back when Kun Yun's name was mentioned, who didn't bow down? Was being one of the thirty-six Departments easy? To stand out from billions of cultivators, to break through so many shackles, to endure so much hardship… And now, Mo Wuji made it sound like nothing.
Mo Wuji waved his hand. "Don't get worked up. I'm just encouraging you to take it a step further."
Kun Yun said bitterly, "Take it a step further? Easier said than done. Do you know what taking it a step further entails? Don't even mention the Twelve God Emperors; even the heads of the thirty-six Departments are those Great Quasi-Sages who are close to becoming Sages. I only coincidentally managed to get a place in the thirty-six Departments."
Mo Wuji stood up. "Brother Kun Yun, tell me, how can I help you? I'm determined to help you this time. Of course, I'll also see if I can snag a divine position for myself."
Kun Yun waved his hand. "Old Brother Wuji, with those words from you, I, Kun Yun, will have a better chance. During that Great Calamity, my body did collapse, but others aren't necessarily doing much better than me. Many even lost their primordial spirits. That will be your opportunity in the future."
Saying this, Kun Yun saw the envious and eager gazes of the Leaving Heaven God King and the others. He chuckled and said, "Your paths are too ordinary. However, as long as I can secure my position in the thirty-six Departments, and Old Brother Wuji can obtain a divine position, it's not impossible for you to join the ranks of the gods in the future. Of course, after Old Brother Wuji and I leave, your responsibility will be the affairs of his Mortal Sect. The Mortal Sect is related to the stability of Old Brother Wuji's future divine position, and therefore to your own future prospects."
This time, Wen Mingyang and Mo Hai stood up almost simultaneously and said, "Senior, please rest assured, and Sect Leader Mo, please rest assured as well. After you leave, the Mortal Sect will be the most important sect in the God Realm."
Mo Wuji cupped his fists at the Leaving Heaven God King and the others. "My wife has been lost in the God Realm. Before Brother Kun Yun and I leave, I need to find my wife, Shuyin. I hope you fellow Daoists can lend a hand."
Kun Yun was somewhat helpless. He knew that persuading Mo Wuji not to look for Cen Shuyin was impossible.
"Sect Leader Mo, who is your wife?" the Leaving Heaven God King asked quickly.
Although they all thought that Mo Wuji's Dao companion was Qu You, Mo Wuji had clearly said that his wife was Shuyin. They couldn't openly inquire about such a matter.
Mo Wuji raised his hand and created an image. "This is my wife, Cen Shuyin. She should have come to the God Realm. However, her trail disappeared after reaching the edge of the Burial God Valley."
"Sect Leader Mo, rest assured. Leave this matter to me. I'll have news for you soon," the Leaving Heaven God King said decisively.
As he spoke, he sent out several flying swords.
Mo Wuji didn't doubt the Leaving Heaven God King's words. After all, the Leaving Heaven God King was once the number one person in the God Domain. Even if he couldn't command absolute obedience, he still held a very high position in the God Domain.
Mo Wuji planned to spend half a year searching for Cen Shuyin.
However, to his surprise, a message-carrying flying sword shot into the Mortal Sect and landed in the Leaving Heaven God King's hands in just half a day.
The Leaving Heaven God King's expression changed after reading the contents of the flying sword.
Mo Wuji could no longer bother with formalities and directly scanned the Leaving Heaven God King's message-carrying flying sword with his spiritual will.
The content on the flying sword was very clear. Someone had seen a woman who looked like the one in Mo Wuji's image, entering the Burial God Valley alone.
Mo Wuji felt his mind buzzing. Cen Shuyin had entered the Burial God Valley? Why? Was Cen Shuyin also forced in by someone?
But Mo Wuji didn't have time to investigate how Cen Shuyin had entered the Burial God Valley. He needed to go to the Burial God Valley again immediately.
Kun Yun knew something was wrong from Mo Wuji's expression. When he scanned the flying sword with his spiritual will, he understood Mo Wuji's thoughts.
Sure enough, Mo Wuji then cupped his fists at Kun Yun and said, "Brother Kun Yun, I'm truly sorry. I can't accompany you for the time being. I need to go to the Burial God Valley."
After speaking, Mo Wuji drew images of Empress Wen Lan and Lin Gu and gave them to the Leaving Heaven God King, asking him to continue helping him investigate their whereabouts.
Kun Yun's expression was unpleasant, but he didn't lose his temper. Instead, he said in a deep voice, "Old Brother Wuji, there's no need to worry about finding a Dao companion! Divine positions are the most important thing. Now that the God Realm is being repaired, if we don't seize the time to do that thing, I'm afraid that when we go in the future, we won't even get the dish washing water."
Mo Wuji shook his head, not even in the mood to refute Kun Yun's words. He had to go to the Burial God Valley. The Burial God Valley had indeed been flattened, but Mo Wuji hadn't completely given up hope, because there was still a stone cave in the Burial God Valley.
According to Tian Nu, that stone cave was likely the path to survival in the Burial God Valley. Originally, he wanted to look for Cen Shuyin and establish the Mortal Sect first, which was why he hadn't entered the stone cave. Now that he heard that Shuyin had also entered the Burial God Valley, he had to enter that stone cave.
Kun Yun had no choice but to say, "The place I'm going to is actually the Burial God Valley as well, but that place is a bit special. How about this? I'll accompany you to the Burial God Valley to search for a while. If we really can't find her, then come with me and help me complete my task. How about it?"
Mo Wuji shook his head without hesitation and refused. "I want to go to a stone cave in the Burial God Valley. I don't even know if I can come out after entering, so…"
"You actually know that there's a Burial God Cave in the Burial God Valley?" Kun Yun said in surprise. "The place I'm going to is there, but how did you know about the Burial God Cave? That place shouldn't even appear…"
Kun Yun frowned as he spoke. The place where he really needed Mo Wuji's help was indeed the Burial God Cave, but he was sure that the Burial God Cave wouldn't appear. Since the Burial God Cave wouldn't appear, how did Mo Wuji know about it?
Mo Wuji was about to say that the place he was looking for wasn't necessarily the Burial God Cave when a golden light suddenly fell from the void and hung directly over the Silent Extinction Sea.
Even though they were sitting on the main peak of the Mortal Sect, they could still see that distant golden light. The golden light quickly formed a golden staircase, and then a deep voice came from the staircase. "The divine decree of Sage Luo Xu is transmitted to congratulate the restoration of the God Realm's rules. Now the Sage will perfect the hierarchy of the God Realm and promote the Dao of the Gods.
Order all sects in the God Realm to jointly build a God Tower. The God Tower should be ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang tall. The God Tower must be built with the materials obtained from the Heaven-Splitting Fissure that repaired the God Realm's rules. After the God Tower is completed, forty-nine Heaven-Opening supreme-grade divine spirit veins must be planted, and it shall be named the Tower of Gods. After the Tower of Gods is completed, Sage Luo Xu will reward several divine positions, all of which will be obtained by those who have the greatest contribution to the Tower of Gods and have the opportunity…"
(Holding the baby almost broke my back, feeling that my Human race is really thriving. Fortunately, I am cultivating the Immortal Mortal Technique and went back to the hotel to sleep early. When I wake up, I will code the second update, the time is definitely not accurate. But there will definitely be a second update)
