Chapter 310: This Godhood Shall Be Inherited By Me!
As these words fell, all was silent, and the audience was still.
At this moment, all the disciples of the Yellow Heaven Dao were looking at each other, trying to find any trace of Ma Zhou.
The elders and disciples of various Daoist temples who came to observe the ceremony, seeing that no one responded, were dripping with cold sweat. At this critical moment, why was Ma Zhou nowhere to be found?
"By the supreme decree of the Yellow Heaven and the decree of the Great Virtuous Teacher, the position of the Water God of the Miluo River is hereby conferred. Where is Ma Zhou of the Yellow Heaven Dao?" Liu Feng's eyes swept across the scene, his heart as steady as an old dog, but a hint of anxiety appeared on his face as he asked again:
"The auspicious time has arrived, Ma Zhou, quickly ascend the stage! Once the auspicious time is missed, the Godhood will dissipate between heaven and earth. Where is Ma Zhou? Why haven't you ascended the stage yet?"
"Quickly, find Ma Zhou!" The Enforcement Elder panicked and hurriedly ordered the disciples beside him.
This was a crucial moment in the conferral ceremony. If any accident occurred, it would be a major disaster.
Just as everyone in the audience was panicking, the Godhood in the sky merged with the laws of heaven and earth, but it could not find an object to rely on. Its light dimmed and began to dissipate. This scene shocked all the disciples of the Yellow Heaven Dao: "Quick, bring Ma Zhou here!"
"It's too late!" Liu Feng's face on the stage was as gloomy as water. Then, he unfolded the decree in his hand, glanced at it, and put it away. At this time, his face was solemn as he said:
"By the decree of the Yellow Heaven, Liu Feng is hereby conferred as the Water God of the Miluo River. Respect this!"
As the words fell, chains of water-blue light burst out from the Godhood, directly piercing into Liu Feng's head, dragging out Liu Feng's divine soul and merging it with the Godhood.
Under the stage, Zhang Xiaohua's face was tense, his fists clenched in his sleeves, his eyes fixed on the ceremony on the high platform.
"Young Master, don't worry, everything is ready. This Godhood belongs to you. No matter who from the Yellow Heaven Dao obtains the Godhood, as long as the divine soul returns to its place, the laws will be stripped away by the Primordial Water God in that jade tablet. At that time, you only need to make a slight move, and you can take its place according to the plan," Fifth or Sixth Mr. comforted Zhang Xiaohua from the side.
At this time, Liu Feng's soul floated below the Godhood. Under the power of the Godhood, Liu Feng's soul actually condensed into a physical form. Then, his eyes swept across the entire audience, and his gaze fell on Gu Mingyue: "Martial Uncle, this disciple is being rude. This Godhood is about to dissipate, and Junior Brother Ma Zhou has missed the auspicious time and cannot return. To avoid wasting the efforts of hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Yellow Heaven Dao, this disciple can only take his place. Please punish me, Martial Uncle."
Gu Mingyue glanced at Liu Feng. All of this was originally part of their plan. Seeing Liu Feng asking for punishment at this time, his face was solemn as he said: "You are innocent! Ma Zhou missed the auspicious time and almost ruined the great event of my Yellow Heaven Dao. I will report this matter to the Great Virtuous Teacher and ask the Great Virtuous Teacher to punish him. It is naturally excellent that you can properly respond and allow the plan of my Yellow Heaven Dao to continue!"
"This disciple has now been conferred as a god and cannot continue to preside over the following work. Please take over, Martial Uncle," Liu Feng said very modestly.
Gu Mingyue nodded upon hearing this, and then stepped onto the high platform to preside over the following ceremony: "Please, divine spirit, return to your place."
The next moment, a disciple took out a three-foot-long piece of yellow cloth, spread it into a passage, and headed towards the main hall in the backyard. Gu Mingyue led Liu Feng's divine soul all the way to the main hall in the backyard, where there was a shrine. Inside the shrine was a sculpture, which was made from the big tree that the fox spirit Nannan had tied the marriage thread to before.
At this time, the entire sculpture was covered with yellow cloth. Then, Gu Mingyue led dignitaries from all walks of life to the back hall, chanting words to the sculpture and constantly casting various secret techniques.
A full incense stick of time passed before Gu Mingyue finished the prelude, lit three incense sticks, and inserted them in front of the sculpture, bowing to the sculpture: "Please, divine spirit, return to your place."
Then, Liu Feng's soul, wrapped in the Godhood, headed towards the sculpture.
The sculpture was just a carrier, a tool for Liu Feng's soul and the Godhood to completely merge into one, becoming the foundation of his Dharma form. Then, his divine soul, which had completely melted the Godhood, could go to the Miluo River, merge with the Miluo River, and grasp all the authority within the Miluo River.
As the incense sticks were lit, Liu Feng's divine soul, wrapped in the Godhood, fell towards the sculpture. But who knew that at this moment, blue light suddenly flowed within the sculpture, and a bright moon burst out from the sculpture. The bright moon directly 'swallowed' the Godhood, and then Liu Feng's soul let out a miserable cry and was blocked back.
"What the hell?" Liu Feng was shocked by this scene. His connection with the Godhood was inexplicably severed.
"How could this be?" Gu Mingyue was also stunned, not knowing what had happened.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaohua, the Young Master of the Pingbian Prince's Mansion, took out a jade tablet from his bosom. The jade tablet emitted a blue light, which merged with the blue light in the sky above the sculpture. Then, Fifth or Sixth Mr. slapped his palm, and Zhang Xiaohua's soul flew out, heading directly towards the jade tablet emitting blue light in the air. But who knew that at this moment, Gu Mingyue reacted and realized that they had been plotted against. So, with a wave of his sleeve, Zhang Xiaohua's soul was pressed back by Gu Mingyue before it could get close to the blue light, and shrunk back into his body.
"Liu Feng, why hasn't your soul returned to its place yet? What are you waiting for?" Gu Mingyue's hand shot out a thunderbolt, blasting a hole in the blue light transformed by the jade tablet. Then, Liu Feng's soul took the opportunity to drill into the hole along the sculpture. Then, as Liu Feng's soul returned to its place, the ball of blue light also accepted guidance and fell into the sculpture.
"Gu Mingyue, how dare you be rude to the Young Master?" Fifth or Sixth Mr., seeing that the plan had been broken, was immediately a little angry and reprimanded Gu Mingyue.
Gu Mingyue smiled lightly upon hearing this, and did not even look at Fifth or Sixth Mr., but instead looked at the Pingbian Prince who was watching from the side. At this time, the Pingbian Prince looked at Zhang Xiaohua with a gloomy face, pretending to be angry and said: "Evil creature, explain to me clearly what is going on. What is that jade tablet?"
"That jade tablet is a mystery left by the Primordial Water God, containing the origin rules of the Primordial Water God. This child thought of adding more splendor to the God Conferral Ceremony of the Yellow Heaven Dao, so he took out this treasure, which can also be regarded as a congratulatory gift to the new god of the Yellow Heaven Dao," Zhang Xiaohua said calmly.
Although his plan had been broken, it was not a big deal for him. With his status as the Young Master, who could shake him? Who could hold him responsible?
Moreover, the scene before him was deliberate. He had deliberately revealed the jade tablet and sent it to Liu Feng so that the two jade tablets could be combined into one. If the two jade tablets were not combined into one, how could he make the next move?
He had already received news that someone was going to secretly intercept and kill the god. He wanted to use the jade tablet to seize the god's Godhood after the god fell.
Right now, it was just a smokescreen!
Gu Mingyue said with a calm demeanor, "Your Highness, you are too kind. Your Royal Highness, please do not blame him. However, you should advise His Highness not to be reckless in the future, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings."
As she spoke, a cluster of divine light flew out from the statue, heading straight towards the Miluo River.
"The deity has returned to its position. Once the deity returns, it will transform into the true Water God of the Miluo River." Gu Mingyue looked at the departing divine seat and explained to the crowd:
"Please remain calm and wait here. After the Water God returns to his position, he will return again to bestow blessings."
It is said that the Water God transformed into a stream of light and traveled far away, arriving directly at the Miluo River, and then plunged into the river.
It is also a miracle that although the Northern Lands are experiencing a severe drought, the Miluo River, which connects to the Yangtze River's water system, has not dried up.
As the divine seat fell into the Miluo River, the river stirred up monstrous waves. A blue light, centered on the divine seat, quickly swept across hundreds of miles, traversing the entire Miluo River and covering every corner.
At the same time, a shocking phenomenon rose from the sky above the Miluo River, transforming into a cluster of colorful auspicious clouds. At this moment, a voice from the void echoed, like the voice of heaven and earth, spreading from the Miluo River to all directions: God! God! God!
The silent cry spread throughout the world, and all living beings in the Northern Lands heard the ethereal cry in the void. In their spiritual world, they saw the deity shrouded in blue divine light.
Countless living beings fell to their knees and kowtowed in worship.
At the same time, Zhang Chen's body was surrounded by the golden light of a righteous god, blocking the divine power from the void outside his body.
"Has the deity returned to its position? I wonder who has obtained the divine seat." Zhang Chen wondered to himself. He could sense the human form through the water vapor, but he could not sense the specific face or hear the specific voice.
The outside world was irrelevant to him. What he had to do was to plunder the fortune of this place and then leave quickly.
Just as Zhang Chen was wandering in the secret chamber, he saw countless divine lights emerging from the river water. The divine light gathered in the sky above the Miluo River, and the vast divine light transformed into Liu Feng's body. At this time, Liu Feng's figure was tall, about three zhang in height, and he exuded a mighty divine power, whose power was comparable to a Yang God realm真人 (True Man).
"I have finally succeeded." Liu Feng stood in the sky above the Miluo River, looking at his solid body, a trace of excitement revealed in his eyes. Next, as long as he returned to the previous statue and refined the statue into a 法则 (Law) form, he could accept the incense offerings of all living beings, and then he would be completely successful.
In the next moment, Liu Feng stepped out and rushed towards the direction of the Huangli Temple, but on the way, when passing by a certain desolate mountain, suddenly a martial arts aura soared into the sky, actually shattering the clouds in the sky and blocking Liu Feng's path.
"This deity, please wait!" The man stood proudly on the mountain peak, his body surrounded by a vast aura, obscuring half of the sky and blocking Liu Feng's path.
Seeing this scene, Liu Feng's expression changed, knowing that the other party's intentions were not good. So he stopped and carefully observed the other party's origin. After a moment, he said, "I wondered who it was. So it's Zhou Chuan, the number one martial artist. You dare to provoke my Yellow Sky Dao instead of hiding from the Gong family's pursuit?"
"The mere Gong family is no longer in my eyes. They want to hunt me down? It's simply a daydream." Zhou Chuan looked at Liu Feng with a smile, his voice full of indifference.
"Why are you blocking my way?" Liu Feng suppressed his anger and replied.
"My 窍穴洗练法 (Acupoint Cleansing Method) has encountered a bottleneck. I heard that using the blood of a deity to cleanse the body will have incredible effects. I am blocking you, friend, in order to form a good relationship with you. I want to obtain some divine blood. I advise you not to be ungrateful."
Zhou Chuan had a friendly smile on his face, using the softest tone to say the most domineering words.
"You're courting death!" Liu Feng was furious when he heard this: "You have already offended the Gong family and are doomed to escape. Now you dare to provoke my Yellow Sky Dao. Are you afraid of dying too slowly?"
"It seems that you want to be ungrateful? I just want a little blood. Why don't you agree? What you lose is just a little blood, and I will open up an supreme path for all living beings in the world. Why are you unwilling to sacrifice?" Zhou Chuan looked at Liu Feng, his voice full of disappointment, as if blaming the other party for not considering the overall situation.
"I still want your head. Why don't you give it to me?" Liu Feng cursed angrily.
"Alas, it seems that I can only help you be grateful." Zhou Chuan smiled coldly, and the next moment, he punched out. Accompanied by the surge of martial arts will, the aura of the sky turned into a fist, suppressing Liu Feng.
"Martial arts can actually do this, actually interfere with the energy of heaven and earth?" Liu Feng's expression changed drastically when he saw this scene. In the next moment, he quickly mobilized his divine power, directly drawing the water vapor from the underground river to fight the enemy. Liu Feng's heart moved, and the underground river water actually appeared out of thin air in the void, turning into a heavenly river, surging and crushing towards Zhou Chuan.
"Although this river water is river water, it has been blessed with part of the weight of the Miluo River, weighing hundreds of thousands of catties. How can you mere ants comprehend the power of a deity?" Liu Feng's voice was full of coldness, overlooking Zhou Chuan below.
Zhou Chuan punched up, and the big hand composed of aura, facing the impact of the river, was like mud and sand, constantly dissipating.
"It's actually so strong? That kind of power? Is that the power of the Law of the Divine Dao?" Zhou Chuan's eyes were full of surprise at this time, but he was not panicked, because he did not come here alone.
Just as Zhou Chuan was in danger, another ray of lightning came from afar, sweeping towards Liu Feng.
"Another Yang God realm expert?" Liu Feng was shocked at this time: "This is a premeditated assassination."
Liu Feng quickly restrained his divine power, turned around to protect himself, and greeted the Yang God realm expert, manipulating the water flow to turn into a hundred-zhang-long ice cone, piercing towards the lightning.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The water light and the lightning collided, and Xie Xuan hid behind the lightning, a trace of surprise revealed in his eyes: "Is this the power of the Divine Dao? That kind of Law actually surpasses lightning?"
Between the collision of the two sides, the lightning actually fell into a disadvantage and was pierced by the ice cone. A surge of extreme cold air surged out, freezing towards Xie Xuan, startling Xie Xuan to retreat quickly.
"Kill!"
A master shot from the dark. At this moment, the earth cracked open, and ten thousand zhang of magma soared into the sky, rolling towards Liu Feng.
"A bloodline expert? And the purity of the bloodline can actually be compared to the battle power of the Yang God realm." Liu Feng's eyes revealed a look of horror when he saw the surging ocean of magma.
Water and fire restrain each other. When facing the power of magma, I must be vigilant and never capsize.
"Kill!"
At this moment, a black罩 (mantle)笼罩 (enveloped) tens of miles of heaven and earth, turning the area of tens of miles into a ghost realm. It was Zhang Gaqi of the Zhang family who made the move.
