Infinite Professions

Chapter 431: Chapter 222: Consummation

Anping County, Divine Judgment Temple.

In the Judge Hall, Shen Hex sat high, his body radiating a bright golden light, still resplendent and unwavering.

As a subordinate god, his Divine Seal, along with his Divine Power, had been reclaimed by Zhou Qian, all thrown into the cycle of reincarnation.

Yet he had not fallen from the divine altar, continuing to maintain the dignity of a deity.

This was his reliance.

Professional Power!

Though Zhou Qian had taken away his Divine Seal and Power due to their subordinate relationship, he could not strip Shen Hex of his professions. Land, Lord Merit and Virtue, Earth God, Ziwei Star—the power of this series of professions continued to exert influence, supporting his status and sustaining his strength.

This was the reliance he previously mentioned to Zhou Qian.

The Blessed Golden Body of Lord Merit and Virtue.

The Earth Yellow Turban of the Earth God.

And the Ziwei Emperor’s Sacrifice of the Ziwei Star.

These three Professional Talents displayed their power after his Divine Seal was revoked.

The Blessed Golden Body, formed by incense fire, inherently possessed the Power of Blessings and Merits, and under the influence of the Earth God, it progressed, elevating to the Earth Golden Body. Even without the Divine Seal, it maintained the status of a Sixth Grade True God, able to consume this body and use various Divine Skills to repel enemies.

The Earth Yellow Turban, Daoist Soldier Technique, clerks of the Punishment Department, deities of the Divine Judgment Temple, nominally his subordinates but practically Zhou Qian’s vassals. After all, he himself was a subordinate god without the authority to grant seals to others. The divine positions of these subordinates were all requested from the Jinyang City God Mansion.

Therefore, now they too were affected, falling from the divine altar together. But luckily, Shen Hex had already refined them into Daoist Soldiers in advance, with the power of the Earth Yellow Turban, they barely maintained their dignity, not completely reduced to ordinary beings.

As for the last, the Ziwei Emperor’s Sacrifice...

The Daoist and Buddhist Sects made a mistake in judgment; indeed, he did not understand any great sacrifice methods.

Though the Cave God Eight Emperors’ Original Transformation Scripture is a True Dao Scripture, its specialization does not include such great sacrifice methods.

Zhou Qian himself might comprehend them, but as previously mentioned, aside from the Cave God Eight Emperors’ Original Transformation Scripture, the other Dao Scriptures he holds were gifted by the True Dragon, bearing restrictions, prohibited from being passed on, so even if he understood the great sacrifice methods, he could not impart them to Shen Hex.

If he doesn’t understand these great sacrifice methods, then why create such a spectacle?

It’s precisely for the Ziwei Emperor’s Sacrifice!

As the Professional Talent of the Ziwei Star, the Ziwei Emperor’s Sacrifice can substantially enhance the Ziwei Star Mandate, elevate the status, authority, magical techniques, and divine techniques, and likely grant believers, Daoist Soldiers, clerks the Tian Kui, Celestial Halberd, Left Minister, Right Minister, Wenchang, Celestial Scholar six stars into their mandate.

Though Shen Hex does not understand the great sacrifice methods, it does not prevent him from making the spectacle grand to enhance the effect of the Ziwei Emperor’s Sacrifice.

He intends to leverage the power of this Emperor’s Sacrifice to aid his own re-ascent to the divine altar!

No time to delay, Shen Hex immediately deploys the Cave God Eight Emperors’ Original Transformation Scripture, using this Mystic Sect Daoist Technique to forge the Divine Dao Seal, status, and authority.

"Those who know the Way of Change can understand the deeds of the gods, for gods are concealed past and known future, crafting all things, therefore one who can communicate with the divine, shares in their accomplishments..."

"Southern Dipper assisting the scribe, ghosts and gods of the eight directions, named the imperial heavens, each having a value day, coming down to the human world, roaming the world, nurturing and protecting the dao..."

"The Yin and Yang emerge in use, called the great creation, the essential of which must calculate Yin and Yang, what Yin and Yang honor, depends on the sun and moon, what the sun and moon establish, named the four seasons, the four seasons present effect, called transformation, transformation achieves accomplishments, capable of producing all things, what all things produce..."

Mysterious, mysterious, marvelous, marvelous!

Shen Hex hasn’t been without training in the Refining Spirit Method, whether it’s the Spirit Control Master of the Spirit Control Realm, or the Cultivator of the Taiyuan Realm, or the Professional of the Human Empire, all major systems have their methods of cultivating the Divine Soul.

But none can compare to the Cave God Eight Emperors’ Original Transformation Scripture in its mystic profundity.

This isn’t to suggest that this world’s Divine Dao is superior to the Taiyuan Immortal Dao or even the Human Empire, but rather that specialization and unique resources prevail.

The Great Dao has three thousand paths, all leading to the same destination, Shen Hex can be certain, whether the Taiyuan Immortal Dao or the Human Empire, there are extremely powerful Refining Spirit Methods, not inferior to the True Dao Scriptures of this world, but he simply lacks access.

The greatest advantage of this world is not the Dharma Gates, but the cultivation resources, the Incense Fire Will Power supplied by sentient beings.

This is something neither the Taiyuan Immortal Dao nor the Human Empire possesses.

Now, Shen Hex uses this resource to penetrate and experience the wondrous mystique of the Divine Dao.

Mysterious and subtle, profound and sublime.

He operates the Grotto God True Scripture, assimilating Incense Fire Will Power, instantly his Divine Intent sublimates, entering an extraordinarily mystical realm.

Within, incense fire is vast, all condensed from will power, looking it almost reveals the faces of all beings, further entangled with all matters and things, is human, is divine, is method, is dao.

Shen Hex holds fast his mind, operates the True Scripture, assimilates incense fire, refines will power.

Instantly, golden light gathers, dazzling like the proud sun.

A Divine Seal slowly forms, entirely golden, with red aura surrounding it.

Looking closely, within the red aura, the golden seal reveals various scenes, with men and women farming the idyllic landscape, soldiers training in military killing arrays, private school academies resonating with the sound of reading, temples exuding curling incense, mountains and waters, lands, cities and villages, all human conditions contained within.

Atop the altar, Shen Hex sat high, his body radiating a bright golden light, like the great sun in the sky.

This golden light is not the incense merit of the Earth Golden Body, but the newly condensed Divine Power, aspiring to achieve the Divine Power of the "Yang God."

From ancient times, Yin Spirits found it hard to enter sanctity amidst tribulations, Yin Soul cultivation naturally has shortcomings, numerous disadvantages.

But this world’s Divine Dao is profoundly mystical; as long as one attains the rank of Sixth Grade True God, one may transform from Yin to Yang, achieving the body of the Yang God, henceforth indistinguishable from living people, and if disregarding heavenly retribution, one could freely walk the human world, influence the world, change the passage of time, the rise and fall of dynasties.
