Chapter 199 The Divine Fetus, the First Dao Lord
Above the sky, the rising sun brought warmth, but this warmth could not penetrate into Yuan Dazun's heart at this moment.
"As you wish...worship God?"
Yuan Dazun repeated Chu Zheng's words, feeling slightly cold and looking a little dazed.
He could tell at a glance that the several magic weapons Chu Zheng was holding were of great value. At least with his previous family background, he could not afford them.
Overnight, Chu Zheng suddenly had so many magical weapons in his hands, which is difficult to explain with common sense.
When you worship the gods, you can sometimes get rewards from the gods, but this is rare. Only the most fanatical believers are likely to get rewards from the gods.
If Chu Zheng is a believer in a certain god, everything he has done before has become a joke.
Chu Zheng raised his hand and threw several magical artifacts to Yuan Dazun, turned around and walked into the room, and moved out the shaped statue.
Looking at the faceless statue in front of him, Yuan Dazun hesitated:
"Which god is this? Not even his face has been left...Didn't he ask a painter to copy the picture of the god before his death?"
Most of the monks who practice the way of incense and the gods will hire a skilled artist before they die. A good painter can imitate the body shape and appearance. This is also convenient for believers to mold a golden body and gather incense after death.
Most of the gods without faces like this can only stay in the divine embryo realm, and it is difficult to condense a decent divine kingdom.
Not even the face is left, so its credibility is naturally greatly reduced.
No matter how many myths and legends are fabricated for it, if there is not enough power to prove its strength, it will still be difficult to find followers.
Believers also have their own way of worshiping gods, which requires a loss of their own energy and spirit. The number of gods they can worship every day is limited.
Believers are not fools. Gods who can distinguish the pros and cons and can bring benefits to themselves are the ones that most believers are willing to choose.
A little-known god like this will soon be lost in time, with no bones left and no incense to continue.
"Zhengchu Daojun, Taoist monk."
Chu Zheng has already thought of a Taoist name for this statue.
The method used to shape this statue was the 'God Shaping Technique' he had obtained from the cave left behind by Zhao Tingxian, and he made some minor adjustments.
On the waist of the statue, he added a diagram of yin and yang as an identification of the 'Zhengchu Dao Lord'.
He did not imitate the facial features of the statue, and deliberately left a blank in order to test some possibilities.
"Daojun?"
Yuan Dazun looked suspicious, Daojun did not look like the orthodox title of Xianghuo Shen Dao.
After being silent for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Who gave you these magic weapons?"
"Yes."
Chu Zheng's eyes flashed slightly, a little. Expectation: "Maybe, he can realize most of your wishes."
If Yuan Dazun is unwilling, Chu Zheng has no intention of forcing him.
During this period, he has received a lot of care. These few magical artifacts are enough to make up for Yuan Dazun's efforts during this period, so that he can get together and disperse easily.
Yuan Dazun looked hesitant. He looked at the magic weapon in his hand and then at the statue in front of him, undecided.
There is already a vassal relationship between gods. The Divine Court is the best example. There are 36,000 gods with a clear hierarchy and each is their master.
Although the Emperor of God is the co-lord of all the gods, there are also many factions within the Divine Court.
A powerful god with hundreds or thousands of followers, who are also incense gods.
Yuan Dazun has a very clear understanding of his own abilities.
Even if he cultivates the path of incense god after death, his achievements will be limited. Even if he enters the divine court, he will probably find a place in the countryside, build a shrine, follow a certain god's subordinates, and live on the meager incense.
Compared with the current situation, the only advantage is that I can continue to live.
After a slight hesitation, Yuan Dazun took a deep breath, took out the incense burner and offered some spiritual fruits, then lit a stick of incense and muttered something.
After warning heaven and earth, he lowered his head and inserted the fragrance into the incense burner.
Chi——
The moment he entered the incense burner, the burning fragrance was instantly extinguished.
Seeing this, Yuan Dazun immediately frowned.
The incense burns out and the gods die.
I can’t even offer incense. This Zhengchu Dao Lord either doesn’t exist in the world at all, or his followers have died.
In addition to these two possibilities, there is another possibility, that is, this Zhengchu Taoist Lord is not willing to accept him as a disciple.
Seeing this, Yuan Dazun sighed softly. These magical weapons in his hands did not appear out of thin air. Since Chu Zheng benefited from this statue, it proved that this god should exist.
It seems that this Taoist Lord has a certain threshold for the choice of believers, and he is not just someone who can worship him if he wants to.
Yuan Dazun glanced at Chu Zheng, smiled helplessly, turned around and went into the house to take a rest.
Since it was his first time to worship gods, when he used the method of worshiping gods just now, he almost spared no effort. He lost a lot of energy and spirit and needed some time to relax.
Chu Zheng circled around the statue, his eyebrows furrowed. He did not feel any movement, and there was no fluctuation in the power of the incense.
Obviously, this proves beyond doubt that he failed.
Practice the incense and spiritual way, and want to directly collect the power of wishes without involving cause and effect, which is still a bit fanciful. How can there be such a good thing in the world that has the best of both worlds?
Chu Zheng fell into deep thought, picked up the spiritual fruit on the altar, stuffed it into his mouth, and began to consider whether there had been any omissions before.
Crack——
The moment the spirit fruit entered, the extinguished fragrance in the furnace suddenly shimmered and began to burn, with green smoke curling up.
Chu Zheng's expression was slightly startled, his pupils were slightly dilated, and a look of horror suddenly emerged.
…………
…………
Cangyun Realm, Taixuan Holy Land.
In the secret room, Chu Zheng suddenly opened his eyes, raised his hand to touch his heart, and his expression changed drastically.
He felt a throbbing, a faint connection, coming from the extremely distant starlight, establishing a connection with him.
In the spiritual platform, the Yin Yang Divine Baby trembled slightly, stretched out, and felt a gentle warmth.
He received a wisp of incense and wish power.
But...how is this possible? !
Chu Zheng’s heart was beating like a drum, and his expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty. This incense was actually transmitted directly to his body.
Zhengchu Daojun was just a name he chose arbitrarily and had nothing to do with himself.
The only connection is that the incarnation took a bite of the enshrined spiritual fruit.
After pondering, Chu Zheng frowned slightly. The problem should not be with the spiritual fruit, but with the statue.
That statue...
Chu Zheng became more and more frightened. Could it be that the statue made according to the God-shaping method was not the Taoist ancestor, but really himself? !
However, those Qi practitioners did not receive the incense and wish power. What is the explanation for this?
For a time, Chu Zheng's mind was filled with doubts, and unknown things were often a little scary.
…………
…………
In a slightly dilapidated courtyard. Chu Zheng opened his spiritual eyes and glanced at the statue in front of him.
[God Statue (Level 0): The only golden body of the 'Zhengchu Daojun', which is channeled by incense and has developed mysterious powers. With more than a hundred followers, you can try to derive the divine fetus. 】
The statue still had no facial features and was completely bare. Seeing this scene, Chu Zheng felt chills all over.
Zhengchu Daojun...
Did he create a god, or did he become a god himself?
Chu Zheng suddenly raised his hand and pressed it on the statue in front of him.
Bang——
With a muffled sound, the soil splashed and scattered all over the ground.
[Incomplete Statue (Level 0): The only golden body of 'Zhengchu Daojun' was broken by your own hands (can be repaired)]
Chu Zheng himself tried for a long time, I tried to cut off the connection with this ray of incense, but it was always in vain.
Even if the idol is broken into pieces, nothing has changed.
Zhengchu Daojun has left traces in this world that cannot be erased.
After a while, Chu Zheng restored the statue and his mood gradually stabilized.
Killing Yuan Dazun may be able to cut off this incense connection, but Chu Zheng has no intention of trying.
Firstly, he didn’t know the outcome, and secondly, he was prepared for a change before he tried it. Although this change was somewhat out of control, it didn’t have to be as exaggerated as a frightened bird.
If he was really so timid, he would have given up on refining Qi long ago.
However, judging from this statue, Zhao Tingxian may have experienced the same accident as he did now when he embarked on the path of the incense god.
Chu Zheng dismissed the thoughts in his mind, his eyes gradually sharpened, and if he couldn't let go, then he would go on.
Zhao Tingxian can practice both of these things, so naturally he can too.
After resting for a long time, Yuan Dazun walked out of the house and looked at only a small part of the green smoke left in the incense burner. He could not hide his surprise and his eyes were filled with confusion.
He had already given up, and he didn't expect that there would be such a change.
His eyes soon fell on Chu Zheng. This kind of change was probably inseparable from Chu Zheng.
Chu Zheng did not explain Yuan Dazun’s doubts and turned back to the house.
The day flew by and at nightfall, Chu Zheng used his invisibility technique and left the city again, starting to search for valuable artifact fragments.
The rapid improvement of cultivation is inseparable from the supplementation of elixirs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Earning a large amount of spiritual stones is the first priority.
In addition, it is to develop followers for the ‘Zhengchu Daojun’.
That wisp of incense and wish power just now, the divine infant has indeed received some nourishment, which is a benefit that cannot be ignored.
Since it is good for cultivation and cannot be put aside, Chu Zheng is ready to start spending some of his energy in this aspect.
It is not easy to recruit believers. Some clues can be seen from Yuan Dazun's previous experience.
Therefore, Chu Zheng needs to fabricate a series of myths and biographies to help this faceless Taoist establish a convincing support point.
Even if these are false, as long as there are believers willing to believe them, that is enough.
This time out of the city, Chu Zheng walked further.
After entering the Spiritual Transformation Realm, you can control the magic weapon to travel. The speed and search efficiency have changed a lot.
After walking around in a large circle, Chu Zheng suddenly saw a familiar river. He walked along the river, and soon he reached the first tribe.
Compared to before, many changes have taken place in the village.
The statue of the 'Zhenhe Lingjun' on the shore has disappeared without a trace, and every household in the tribe has placed a longevity tablet.
"Jiuxiao Changming Lord..."
Judging from this tablet, the outcome of that day's game is self-evident.
The gods of incense and fire in the Heavenly Lord realm are divided into upper and lower ranks. The upper Heavenly Lord is equivalent to the monks in the Immortal Tribulation Secret Realm. Even the lower Heavenly Lord is comparable to Tongxuan.
In terms of strength alone, the Jiuxiao Changming Lord is far stronger than Zhenhe Lingjun.
It can even be said that the two are not creatures of the same level at all.
However, even though they were blessed by a more powerful god, the people in this tribe showed no joy at all.
Chu Zheng walked around the tribe invisibly, and soon understood the reason.
Jiuxiao Changming Lord is indeed powerful, but he has too many followers, and it is impossible to protect them all.
If there are monsters and beasts that attack the tribe and cause death or injury to believers, Lord Jiuyou Changmingming will definitely take care of it and even eradicate it once and for all.
But the wind, frost, rain, snow, rising and falling tides, and even whether the weather is smooth or not, Lord Jiuxiao Changmingming doesn't pay too much attention to it. It's just the number of days and it won't hurt people's lives.
Only some small gods, in order to gather the hearts of believers, will work hard on this aspect.
And these are actually what these tribal people need. This is the basis for survival.
Chu Zheng did not disturb the tribe, quietly left, ran towards the distance, and continued to search.
At dawn, Chu Zheng returned to the city.
This night, he gained a lot and obtained many fragments of magical artifacts. After repairing them, he handed them all over to Yuan Dazun.
He is too young, and if he comes forward on his own, he will inevitably be looked down upon by others, and he can easily cause trouble.
It would be perfect for Yuan Dazun to look for an opportunity and then switch to spiritual stones and elixirs.
Chu Zheng specifically told Yuan Dazun to be extremely cautious and conceal his appearance when taking action.
These magical weapons and weapons are all damaged items recovered from the battlefield. After being repaired, the possibility of being hit by the original owner cannot be ruled out.
Before your cultivation is insufficient, it is better to be more stable.
In addition to these trivial matters, Chu Zheng officially began to compile the mythological biography of the ‘Zhengchu Daojun’, which required some thought.
Even if we don’t talk about the exaggeration of creating the universe and dividing yin and yang, Chu Zheng still has to improve the power of the 'Zhengchu Dao Lord' as much as possible, otherwise in this situation where gods are everywhere, Lack of competitiveness.
After Chu Zheng pondered for a while, he placed the origin of Zhengchu Daojun in the ancient times.
In the ancient wilderness, many things have been lost, leaving a lot of room for Chu Zheng to play. No one will really verify it anyway.
[The Taoist King is born adhering to the creation of heaven and earth, and is born to grasp the rise and fall of yin and yang. He knows it by himself without a teacher. He eats the qi of yin and yang, the essence of heaven and earth, and enters the path of practice...]
…………
…………
In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.
After three years of quiet practice, Chu Zheng's cultivation has steadily entered the late stage of the Jade Bone Realm.
This speed was deliberately suppressed by Chu Zheng and moved forward steadily, but compared to ordinary monks, it was still astonishingly fast.
After the biography of Zhengchu Daojun was released, the response from the surrounding area was mediocre.
However, after some believers came to try to worship, Chu Zheng was not stingy at all and spilled a lot of spiritual stones, and finally gathered a group of believers.
Although there are no fanatical believers in one god, that golden body still successfully developed a divine fetus and had a ray of true spirit.
