Chapter 1 What are you doing, General?

Another general, Jie Sheng, rushed over and saw Liu Ting's provocative act. He was immediately puzzled and angrily said:

"The Arctic True Lord is an honored guest before His Majesty, and Celestial Master Zhang even calls him brother. You are just a general who has been granted a divine title. How dare you be so arrogant as to provoke this Great True Man?"

"Attacking an immortal with mortal strength, what are you trying to achieve! You're just a brainless brute!"

Jie Sheng almost pointed at Liu Ting's nose. Liu Ting, like a mountain of iron, immediately roared, "Jie Sheng, do you have any respect for superiors? How dare you point at my face and scold me like that?"

"I have no respect for superiors? At most, I'll just take a beating from you. If you don't have respect for superiors, I'm afraid your entire family, twenty-odd wives and concubines, will be executed!" Jie Sheng didn't back down at all, shouting angrily, "Besides, I am Ma Gui's subordinate, not yours. Speaking of punishment, you have no right to punish me! If you want to overstep your authority, wait until you become the Minister of War!"

"You provoke the Arctic True Lord, and regardless of how the immortals will deal with you, even if you are hanged and killed, no one will plead for you! Stepping back, when you return to Shuntian, do you think this matter can be easily glossed over?"

"What kind of punishment do you think the Forbidden City will give you?"

"It's just some incense offerings. You actually said you ate them all yourself, and when others wanted to take some, you didn't even look at who they were and refused to give it to them. By refusing the incense offerings, you brought great disaster upon yourself!"

Liu Ting narrowed his eyes, and Lord Huang also chimed in from the side, "Deputy General Jie, please calm down. General Liu, please calm down as well. Deputy General Jie is right. Why should General Liu argue with an immortal over a little incense?"

"There's no benefit to it, and it only leaves a bad impression on others. Why bother? It's easy to do a favor, but making enemies never ends well. Do you think that just because the other party is an immortal, they won't care about your mortal grudges?"

Lord Huang was also afraid that Ji Xiang would do something big, and he certainly didn't want to be counted among this group of people, that would be terrible. At this time, this immortal had refined a Heavenly God and was obviously about to complete the final sacrificial steps, and was worried about not having a place to find an opponent to test the power of the new Heavenly God. What good show are you putting on by coming to die?

Liu Ting was silent for a moment, then suddenly changed his tone and laughed loudly, "Alright, alright, I'm just a soldier, are you satisfied now?"

"But I'm not doing this to fight over a few taels of incense. I just want to see where the difference between immortals and mortals lies."

"They all say that this immortal killed those Japanese pirate generals, but I didn't see their corpses. How big is the gap between the immortal path and the mortal path? How can I know without experiencing it myself?"

Lord Huang was shocked: "You... you just want to test the power of the immortal path?"

"This, there's no need to do this!"

Lord Huang cursed inwardly. This Liu the Saber was greedy and belligerent. He could guess eight or nine out of ten of what he was thinking.

Sure enough, Liu Ting said:

"Everyone, rest assured, we are all subordinates of the Great Ming Emperor, how can we fight to the death? It's just a mutual test of skills."

"I'm doing this just to get some benefits. This immortal won't personally attack me, and if I defeat this Heavenly God, I'll be famous. Later, I can say everywhere that I once slightly defeated an immortal's subordinate, both gaining fame and successfully preserving... successfully protecting the incense offerings."

No one can cure my problem. Liu Ting added this sentence in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.

"The survival of the people in this city is closely related to us. The incense offerings from the sacrifices are used to support our divine positions. Otherwise, this place is far from the Great Ming homeland, and the incense offerings from the homeland are weakly sensed here. Among the tributary states, our national power can only exert 60% of its strength. If the Japanese army makes a comeback, and we can't use our divine positions because of the lack of incense offerings, wouldn't we be at their mercy?"

"So, I'm doing this to protect everyone's incense offerings, to protect the combat power of the divine positions on your bodies. How can it be said that I am selfish and greedy? Besides, what are you talking about executing my entire family? I am wholeheartedly and diligently managing this place to serve the court and the emperor!"

"Even immortals can't be so unreasonable as to take our incense offerings for nothing, right?"

Liu Ting spoke in an official tone, making the reasons sound adequate. Jie Sheng was so angry, what so-called everyone's incense offerings, most of the incense offerings here ended up in whose hands, you just made it clear yourself!

Lord Huang then said: "But as Deputy General Jie said, how can General Liu be sure that the other party won't directly attack?"

At least in Lord Huang's view, this immortal was not like Celestial Master Zhang, who was more reserved!

If he wanted to attack, he would attack directly. Moreover, Lord Huang still remembered Ji Xiang's previous theory, which was to scold you a few times first, then give you a punch, and finally scold you while beating you, making you feel like it should have been this way all along!

Liu Ting, however, had a calm expression on his face: "If this immortal fights me, then wouldn't I gain even more, and the benefits would be even greater!"

"Losing to an immortal is not shameful, and besides, it's just a sparring match. And if the immortal really attacks me personally, it means that my strength has already made the immortal value me. In that case, even if the immortal kills me, I won't be able to get any wealth while I'm alive, so dying like this and gaining a little prestige wouldn't be a loss!"

"We generals risk our lives in battle, isn't it all for fame and fortune? For profit while alive, and for fame after death!"

Jie Sheng was already jumping with anger, while Liu Ting, holding both greedy and probing thoughts, jumped off the city wall!

Lord Huang then realized that this guy was serious!

It would be best to get benefits while alive, and if he accidentally died, he would still gain something. In that case, this kind of person doesn't care about family lineage at all, and lives entirely for his own pleasure!

Jie Sheng said: "This Liu the Saber is such a scoundrel. This kind of thing has happened many times before. He even punched court officials and smashed their offices. After being dismissed, he was re-appointed and still didn't change his arrogant nature!"

The divine position of the Heavenly Marquis King was huge, and his divine form suddenly expanded after leaving the city, causing strong winds and surging clouds even with just one movement. The black-clothed scholar, Da Huangluo, received instructions from Ji Xiang at this time.

Liu Ting was making a vast sound, speaking to the black-clothed scholar, "You and I do not know each other, but we are both working for the court. Since you are a subordinate of the Arctic True Lord, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Let's limit it to ten moves. If you win six moves, I will gladly give you half of these incense offerings... What do you think..."

How about it?

"No need."

The black-clothed scholar looked at this "Heavenly Marquis King" with a calm tone, as cold and indifferent as a dead person: "The Heavenly Devil Lord has spoken."

"All the incense offerings in this city will be taken from your hands, without leaving a single bit. I hope you can understand."

"As for the contest, one move is enough."

Liu Ting's expression froze slightly, and then he showed a strange smile, but there was no anger, but rather some expectation:

"One move? It seems that the immortal is somewhat annoyed by my impolite behavior and wants to fight me personally? That's exactly what I want..."

"Wrong. The Heavenly Devil Lord said, if I fight you, one move is enough."

"?"

The smile on Liu Ting's face vanished instantly.

The saber in his hand also became huge with the manifestation of the divine appearance, and his voice was already filled with irrepressible anger:

"I can't accept such an insult. No matter what, I am a great general of the court, and I am one of the anti-Japanese generals in this war. You say you can take me down in one move without borrowing the power of the immortal path? Who do you think you are?"

"Hiding under the appearance of a Heavenly God, hiding and dodging and afraid to show your face, did the immortal teach you to do this? Just like a rat."

The black-clothed scholar shook his head and said frankly, "I am not hiding under the appearance of a Heavenly God, but rather, I am a Heavenly God to begin with."

Liu Ting couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but the next moment, the black-clothed scholar had already made his move.

The black-clothed scholar condensed Yin energy into a dark giant hand and slapped it towards Liu Ting!

In an instant.

There were bursts of wailing ghosts and howling gods in the universe. The Heavenly God Qi on his body went straight into the clouds, and bursts of demonic power gradually spread out. Under the influence of this power, the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in this Korea seemed to have transformed into a huge demon god!

The mountains and rivers were dark, and the earth wailed. As a Heavenly God of the underworld, he naturally had the means of the underworld.

The hells and underworlds, among which the gods control various horrific punishments, and the Ten Kings of Hell control various methods of controlling life and death, these are all natural divine powers that come with the position of Heavenly God.

And as appointed by Ji Xiang, the master who suppresses all the ghosts and demons in this thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, the black-clothed scholar, the Heavenly God named Da Huangluo, was also the first one created by Ji Xiang, belonging to the demonic Heavenly God of the underworld emperor. How could he not possess the "rules" of the emperor?

Moreover, the black-clothed scholar inherited the vast "demonic power" and a certain amount of "fortune" from Ji Xiang!

It was as if destiny was on his side, and both the Demon King and the God King were in Ji Xiang's Dharma, so even the black-clothed scholar, this newly created Heavenly God named Da Huangluo, also had the characteristics of the integration of gods and demons. The body of the underworld emperor, transformed by the Western Liang Li Gongshou Heavenly Emperor's Dharma realm, even combined the three in one: gods, demons, and ghosts!

As soon as the divine power came out, all the gods were silent, as if they had entered a state of nirvana, and their divine powers could not be manifested, prostrating to the heavens!

The earth was transformed into the sky!

"Yin and Yang push and change!"

"Suppress—"

One word, one cause, announced to the world, the changes of Yin and Yang, there was nothing that did not follow!

In Liu Ting's eyes, the sky and the earth suddenly turned upside down.

The black mountains and rivers became the sky, and his power as the Heavenly Marquis King was also suppressed, and the light of the Big Dipper suddenly collapsed! His Heavenly God image exploded at the moment of his greatest aura, transforming into his original human form, and at this moment, Liu Ting also suddenly widened his eyes!

The Yin and Yang Qi, flowed in reverse!

Da Huangluo.

All things are flourishing, and then suddenly fall!

........

"Well done."

A smile appeared on the corner of Ji Xiang's mouth. The refining of this Heavenly God could be considered very successful. In this way, he had also created another kind of "born Heavenly God." This time, he could finally have a strong and powerful competition with Xu Fu and the others.

At this time, he had taken over the incense offerings of the living beings in that city and carried out a ritual to help the dead and save souls, and the feedback he received was vast. This was doing good deeds, and even the power of the Heavenly Dao in this country recognized him, and also bestowed some merit.

In this way, the position of the underworld emperor would be firmly established.

Being able to order him to be the master of all the ghosts and monsters in the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains was not only because of his own merits, but also mainly because of the existence of the Dharma Realm fragment. Just as the method of refining the Heavenly God said, take the Dharma Realm as the country, and the master of the Dharma Realm as the emperor, so that similar enforcements could be completed, and everything about this Heavenly God originated from the refined Dharma Realm or Dharma Realm fragment.

The divine spirit created with a fragment of a Heavenly Emperor's Dharma Realm as its root had extremely high potential. At least among mortals, even if they obtained a divine position in the Heavenly Division, they would be like Liu Ting. Once the divine form collapsed, the role of the divine general would be almost equivalent to nothing. To resist, they would need a higher level of divine position.

However, Korea was small. The master of all the ghosts and monsters in the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains was already equivalent to the underworld emperor on this land. In this moment, after being ravaged by Japan, with the gods losing their positions and the cultivators exhausted, a new god appeared, collecting the powers that had been lost and failed in the past. Ji Xiang initially estimated that the height he could reach by gathering the power of a country was at most the eighth or ninth of the Heavenly Division.

And although it was not yet rated, judging from the state, as long as the incense offerings were successfully refined and the last step was completed, it would at least be in the eleventh position of the Heavenly Division. This level was not tolerated by the world. Except for a small number of people with extremely special means, such as Xu Fu and other pseudo-immortals who exhausted their minds to break through, all the others were people in the imperial court who could receive the positions above the thirteenth level of the Heavenly Division.

And his Heavenly God would become a special existence not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

At this time, Ji Xiang once again thought of Changbai Mountain.

The reason why Lord Huang could bring a divine position here to refine it, and it was not yet completely successful, was not only because they did not have the materials for refining and suitable candidates for refining, but, as could be learned from what he explained, there were many Heavenly Gods in the depths of Changbai Mountain who had not been completely refined. Their divine positions could not reach above the thirteenth level of the Heavenly Division, but many of them had also entered the level of the Heavenly Division, breaking away from the shackles of the people-god level of the Human Division.

Ji Xiang's current position allowed him to see Wangjing.

The mountains and rivers were far away, and Wangjing, which had been ravaged by war many times, still reeked of gunpowder even though the war had passed for nearly a year.

Ji Xiang did not tell anyone about his return, but transformed into the image of the Shadow God and entered the ancestral temple of the Korean royal family, which had been destroyed several times and only had one hall left.

The major events of a country lie in sacrifices and wars. The ruler's sacrifices are equivalent to recognition, which is very important for a Heavenly God. What he had to do was replace it. Although the temples in this ancestral temple that were used to sacrifice the gods had been destroyed long ago, that was why they could be rebuilt.

The new gods replaced the old gods and became the new enjoyers of the national incense offerings, and the images on those statues would also constantly change with the change of the images of the sacrificial objects.

Gods have many images, and have different images in different eras. They are influenced by various factors such as dynasties, folklore, and religion. People influence gods.

However, this time, Ji Xiang's footsteps stopped as soon as he entered the ancestral temple, because a strange name appeared on the ancestral temple in front of him.

"Gyeongryeong... Hall?"
