Chapter 201 The thunder method destroys the gods, and the divine court recruits
The city where Chu Zheng is currently located is called 'Tiantan', with a population of more than 7 million. Together with the nearby affiliated towns, the population has exceeded 10 million. .
Hantan Lingjun has been here for nearly ten thousand years. The "tan" in the word "Tiantan" means Hantan Lingjun.
In the entire Tiantan City, apart from the Hantan Spiritual Lord, the only incense god who has entered the fourth realm is the Hongtian Spiritual Lord from Shenting, who is the leader of the entire Tiantan City.
One million believers is just an illusion. The real number of followers of Hantan Spirit Lord has already approached two million. Within a radius of several thousand miles, he is already the second only god to Hongtian Spirit Lord. .
In front of the not-so-magnificent temple, Hantan Lingjun's ten-foot-long soul stands in the wind and snow. He is covered with aqua-blue divine robes and his skin is green. He looks at the cold face that was nearly forty last year. He looked down at the entire temple without being angry.
In the distance, there are believers quietly watching. Many of the false believers belonging to Chu Zheng were captured by the power of Lord Hantan. They were wavering for a while and looked hesitant.
This dharma body alone is larger than the temple of Zhengchu Daojun. Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that the gap is as big as the abyss.
Even the many true believers headed by Yuan Dazun are full of worries at this moment.
The God of Incense and Fire, who had just completed his divine conception, had no chance of winning when facing a mid-level spiritual king.
They can only hope that this time the Tao Lord can try his best to protect himself, otherwise, the gods who have just gathered will fall apart in the blink of an eye.
Woo——
Looking at the temple in front of him, Hantan Lingjun said nothing. He suddenly raised his hand and swept across it. A dull whistling thunder sound exploded in the void, and the cold wind hunted and enveloped him. The violent ice flow swept across the temple dome.
Bang!
A thin layer of divine light was torn apart, broken bricks and tiles were scattered everywhere, and the scene inside the temple was clearly visible.
"Chi..."
Looking at the tiny statue in front of him, which was only seven feet tall, Hantan Lingjun narrowed his eyes slightly, a slight snort sounded in his nose, and a contemptuous sneer hung on the corner of his mouth:
"It's just a divine fetus, with an unborn soul. You dare to resist my divine decree and you don't know whether to live or die."
After saying that, he focused his eyes on Chu Zheng. After looking at him for a while, he couldn't help but feel a little moved:< br>
"Such a good talent and uncut jade, following such a small god is really a waste of natural resources. Why don't you practice with me and worship me as a god, I can grant you the title of venerable one."
He could tell at a glance that Chu Zheng was extraordinary, but with such cultivation at the age of just ten years old, his future achievements would be limitless.
If he can take him under his command and carefully train him to become a sage, he may be able to take a step further with this child in the future.
The power of believers will naturally make the gods they believe in stronger.
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar all around, and many of Hantan Lingjun’s followers were in disbelief.
The Venerable is the spokesperson of the gods. Among the gods, his power and status are second only to the gods themselves.
After a long while, Chu Zheng, who was sitting cross-legged in front of the statue, slowly opened his eyes. His expression was calm at all. The yin and yang energy circulated in his body, and through the statue, he established a trace of contact with the body in the distant sky.
He had not spoken just now because he was not absolutely sure of victory, but at this moment, he already had it.
"Give your opponent a chance to breathe and waste your breath. What use does a god as stupid as a pig have to you?"
Before he finished speaking, the seven-foot statue behind Chu Zheng, Suddenly there was a divine light, and the energy of yin and yang surged from the extremely distant sky and penetrated into Chu Zheng's body.
“Hu——”
Chu Zheng stood up slowly, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and the two qi of yin and yang came out of his body, soared into the sky, straight into the sky.
Boom——
The continuous wind and snow in the sky suddenly stopped, and dark clouds surged out of thin air.
Hantan Lingjun's expression changed slightly, and he ignored his anger. He suddenly raised his head and looked at the dark clouds that were gradually condensing. He immediately opened his mouth and blew out a mouthful of white smoke.
White smoke billowed upwards, carrying a fierce chill, crackling sounds continued in the void, and pieces of cold crystals precipitated from the air, falling like raindrops.
In an instant, the sky was filled with ice and all the snow could be seen.
A cheer like a mountain roaring and a tsunami rang out in the distance. It came from the followers of Hantan Lingjun, who felt extremely excited because the gods they worshiped were displaying their power.
Hantan Lingjun’s reaction was completely different from that of his followers, with a solemn look on his face.
Soon, his expression changed more and more drastically, and a hint of horror flashed in his eyes.
In the sky, the continuous colorful clouds frozen by low temperature made a crunching sound, and were torn apart by a ray of dazzling thunder.
Boom——
The thunderbolt, as thick as an adult's thigh, seemed like a sharp ax that cut through the clouds, then suddenly fell down, striking directly at Hantan Lingjun Tianling.
He wanted to dodge, but this blow came too fast and too hard to dodge.
Bang!
A shocking explosion sounded, and Hantan Lingjun's body instantly exploded and fell into pieces, unable to fully heal in a short period of time.
Thunder, the most powerful force in the world, is already terrifying in its power, and its lethality to the souls of Yin gods has increased tenfold.
Chu Zheng did not give him any time to breathe. He communicated with the golden body again, circulated the yin and yang and the two qi, and performed the thunder method.
Boom!
Another shocking explosion came, and the remaining aura of Hantan Lingjun dissipated, and there was no trace of the dharma body.
There was deathly silence all around, and then many monks and believers quickly began to flee. The gods they believed in were defeated and returned, and they no longer had the courage to stay here.
In full view of the public, the Dharmakaya was defeated, which was a shocking blow to a believer in the incense god.
Chu Zheng did not feel complacent at all, because he knew very well that this was just an incarnation of Hantan Lingjun, and there was still a lot to do to completely disintegrate it.
Soon, Chu Zheng made a decision, sent a letter to Yuan Dazun, and immediately began to gather the followers of Hantan Lingjun.
This was a God-given opportunity. At the same time, he left the temple and began to search for the other temples of Hantan Lingjun based on the calculation of destiny, and uprooted them along the way.
Chopping the grass without eradicating the root is a taboo for military strategists.
The fact that a god with no more than ten thousand followers defeated a spiritual king with millions of gods soon spread throughout Tiantan City.
Hantan Lingjun was chased by Chu Zheng one after another, and soon disappeared. Some people saw several of his fanatic followers taking him out of the city, but the specific number of cities is also unknown. .
With Yuan Dazun's efforts, the number of Chu Zheng's followers began to expand rapidly, and in an instant, it expanded to nearly one million people.
After a huge defeat, the Chu government was completely devastated and completely swallowed up.
In addition to Chu Zheng, there are many gods who secretly attack Hantan Lingjun, intending to divide his followers.
Chu Zheng didn't care about this. With his own strength, it would be difficult for him to snatch away so many hands, and the future would be long.
…………
…………
The location of Zhengchu Daojun Temple has changed and is now close to the center of Tiantan City.
Amidst the bulldozed ashes, Yuan Dazun built a new pilgrimage place on the site of the original Hantan Lingjun Temple.
A brand new temple was quickly erected, and preparations began for a thirty-foot-long golden body.
As a god among millions of gods, the size of his temple can be considered ordinary.
Chu Zheng has some expectations for this golden body. The stronger the golden body, the more power he can borrow from the body, and the faster he can gain a foothold in this world.
The surge in believers has also made Chu Zheng's cultivation level rise. He has successfully developed a divine soul and entered the second realm of the incense god, and it is still increasing all the way.
The cultivation of the main body has also taken a further step, entering the late stage of the Divine Infant, and is constantly approaching the perfection of the Divine Infant.
The quality of believers is also increasing day by day. Chu Zheng can feel that the number of true believers is increasing almost every day. Gods who have already demonstrated their strength are often more convincing than mythical legends.
The power of incense and aspiration obtained from Yuan Dazun has become more and more pure, even approaching the level of fanatic believers, and the number of true believers is even more numerous.
…………
…………
Within two days of the quiet and stable days, Chu Zheng received another summons.
Yuan Dazun hurriedly entered the door, bowed his head and bowed his head:
"Your Majesty, there is a decree coming from Shenting."
Hearing the word Shenting, Chu Zheng's eyes flashed slightly , after all, there is still no way to avoid the divine court.
He has already been prepared for this.
After swallowing most of Hantan Lingjun's followers, he has taken the original position of Hantan Lingjun and become one of the few gods within thousands of miles.
It is impossible not to attract the attention of Shenting at all. It is just a matter of sooner or later.
The person delivering the decree was a second-level incense and fire god dressed in brocade, which was equivalent to the apparent cultivation level of the ‘Zhengchu Daojun’ today.
The incense god who delivered the letter didn't say much. After handing the letter into Chu Zheng's hands, he turned around and left without a trace.
The meaning of this letter from Shenting is quite simple and direct. It is nothing more than wanting Chu Zheng to join Shenting.
Compared to Hantan Lingjun, Shenting's conditions were much gentler, and Chu Zheng was granted a priesthood, but he still needed to turn in his vows on weekdays. This ratio was generally 50%.
After reading it, Chu Zheng couldn’t help but think deeply.
Since he did not deliberately conceal the content of the letter from Shenting, Yuan Dazun soon learned part of the situation.
After waiting for several days, he finally couldn't restrain his wandering thoughts and looked for an opportunity to ask Chu Zheng:
"Your Majesty, how did Taojun reply?"
Yuan Dazun was a little uneasy. In his opinion, being able to join Shenting was a hard-earned luck, and the opportunity was very rare.
If Chu Zheng is willing to join Shenting, it will also provide a lot of convenience for his own development.
As for Yuan Dazun’s thoughts, Chu Zheng just shook his head slightly without saying anything clearly.
In the blink of an eye, a few more days passed, and an uninvited guest came to the temple where Chu Zheng was gradually taking shape.
The Hongtian Spirit Lord came to visit in person.
…………
…………
Hongtian Lingjun looks like he is only in his thirties. He has a majestic figure, long hair shawl, and a divine garment full of rays of light, like a ray of brilliance. Shenxia, people dare not look directly at it.
[Hongtian Lingjun (Level 5): The incense deity in the upper-level Lingjun realm, with nearly ten million followers under his command, and the deity under the command of the Immortal Snake Star Lord in the Divine Court, this is the incarnation. 】
Looking at the information from Hongtian Lingjun, Chu Zheng couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. This Hongtian Lingjun was far more terrifying than he imagined.
Not only has he reached the fifth level, there is even a Star Lord behind him as a background.
In the Divine Court, there are only 365 Star Lords, all of whom are rare and extremely powerful, comparable to the immortals of the Immortal Way, and most of them rule an entire star.
With such a character as the backstage support, on this star, Hongtian Lingjun is completely able to do whatever he wants.
“I haven’t seen you for a long time, so I came to take a look.”
Hongtian Lingjun raised his head slightly and looked at the statue that had just been built in front of him. His eyes were slightly focused, and he looked through the golden body. , saw the newly born soul.
Above the soul, there is still no facial features, no trace of the origin, and no trace of waves coming out.
For a moment, he couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling that something was a little tricky. The unknown often meant trouble.
With such a divine spirit, it is impossible for this god who appeared out of nowhere in front of him to have the ability to kill Hantan Spirit Lord.
“I have met Hongtian Lingjun.”
Chu Zheng stood up to greet him.
Hearing Chu Zheng's voice, Hongtian Lingjun laid his eyes on him.
But he didn't say much, but turned his gaze back to the statue, staring at the spirit hidden in it, with a faint look of anger between his brows.
Obviously, in his eyes, Chu Zheng was not qualified to communicate with him.
Seeing this, Chu Zheng sank his consciousness into the golden body not far away, and controlled the soul to slowly walk out.
“How do you think about it?”
Seeing Chu Zheng's reaction, Hongtian Lingjun's face softened slightly and he spoke softly:
"Join the Divine Court and pay 50% of the incense and vows. No evil god will dare to take action against you in the future. "
Chu Zheng's soul shone with a glimmer of light: "What will happen if you don't enter?"
"If you don't enter the divine court, it will be like the day you killed Hantan Lingjun. Likewise, no one will stand up for you, and the Divine Court will not interfere with the fight between the gods in the countryside. Likewise, no one will specifically target you."
Hongtian Lingjun glanced at Chu Zheng and already guessed. After hearing his answer, his expression became a little more indifferent.
"I'd like to thank Hongtian Lingjun for making a special trip. I won't enter the divine court." The slightly illusory spirit bowed slightly and said nothing more.
Hearing this, Hongtian Lingjun lowered his eyes slightly, turned around and left without speaking.
As he said before, since Tiantan City can accommodate one Hantan Spirit Lord, it can naturally accommodate another one.
They are just some rural gods who are used to being undisciplined and unwilling to surrender their incense and vows, which is normal.
However, just like the current Hantan Lingjun, he turned into a lost dog overnight, and thousands of years of accumulation were wasted in an instant. This is nothing new.
…………
…………
After Hongtian Lingjun left, Yuan Dazun walked in slowly and asked carefully:
“Your Majesty, what’s my next step? What should I do? "
As a believer, he unconditionally supports any decision of Zhengchu Daojun. If Daojun does not enter the divine court, then he will naturally have his reasons, no need to ask more.
"Do what you should do, cultivate your health, and attract followers." Chu Zheng said concisely and comprehensively.
Under the protection of Shenting, it is true that no evil god would dare to cause trouble, but for Chu Zheng, this is not an attractive condition.
Fifty percent of the incense wish was too much, and he was unwilling to accept it at all.
And under the protection of Shenting's wings, the calamity energy around him will only accumulate more and more thickly.
When the calamity reaches a certain level, it may turn into a bigger trouble. At that time, Shenting may take action against him personally.
To avoid trouble later, it is better to cut it off now.
When he completely eliminates those evil gods who are not included in the Divine Court, he should be able to gain an astonishing number of followers.
