My All-Heavens Chat Group-Chapter 414 - 26: The Marquis Turns Out to Be Cao the Bandit (Part 2)_3
Along with the proclamation to all under heaven came the "Meditation Method."
Originally, many wanted to oppose it. But after reciting the "Meditation Method," all opposing voices disappeared completely. Everyone began to devoutly worship the Lord of Hongmeng of their own accord, offering morning and evening prayers. At this moment, anyone who dared to stop them from worshipping the Lord of Hongmeng would face their anger. Even as they went about their tasks, they recited the Method. The more they recited, the more energized they became. The more they recited, the more strength they felt. Even after toiling through the night, they were still brimming with energy and vitality the next day. Their backs weren’t sore, their legs didn’t ache; they felt better than ever before. The world was filled with cheers. Countless commoners spontaneously constructed temples to worship the great Lord of Hongmeng.
After realizing he had become a puppet emperor, Zhu Houzhao became even more immersed in the pleasures of his leopard room and divine grace, unable to extricate himself.
「On this day.」
「Outside the Imperial Capital.」
A magnificent altar rose from the ground.
Zhu Houzhao led the civil and military officials, following Zhu Wushi to the front of the altar. Gazing at the towering altar, a peculiar light flashed in Zhu Houzhao’s eyes. Will the Lord of Hongmeng reveal Himself? he wondered.
His heart both hoped and did not hope for the Lord of Hongmeng to reveal Himself. It was a contradiction, but perfectly normal.
If the Lord of Hongmeng were to reveal Himself, it would prove Divine Spirits truly exist and that his own longevity was hopeful. Naturally, he hoped for it.
But if the Lord of Hongmeng did not make an appearance, it would mean Zhu Wushi was not the Messenger of the Divine Spirit. It would also mean he had only been lucky enough to obtain the "Meditation Method." Moreover, Zhu Wushi without the favor of a Divine Spirit was not someone Zhu Houzhao feared. Someday, he might even be able to deal with him.
Zhu Wushi was unaware of Zhu Houzhao’s thoughts and preferred not to know. He too was excited at this moment.
Su Xin, just wait, soon I will be able to bring you back to life! he anticipated in his heart.
According to the "future" spoilers from Dog Son, it was easy for him to find the remaining Heavenly Cardamom to resurrect Su Xin. But he had not searched for them.
If the Divine Spirit resurrected Su Xin, wouldn’t she be even more moved and grateful upon waking? After all, it wasn’t just her body that he was after.
With his status and position, what kind of woman could he not find if he wished to indulge? Why go through so much trouble to resurrect Su Xin? What he wanted was her heart.
Will we see the Divine Spirit soon? The civil and military officials were filled with anticipation. Having received divine grace, they no longer harbored the slightest doubt about the existence of Divine Spirits. The thought of being able to meet a legendary Divine Spirit... that feeling... was beyond description.
"The auspicious time has arrived, present the Sacrifices!" Zhu Wushi didn’t delay and presided over the ceremony.
The sacrifices included three types of livestock, six types of domestic animals, various classic tomes, treasures, and beauties. In addition to the predetermined Shangguan Haitang, there were also Liusheng Piaoxu and Yunluo County Master.
"Haitang looks especially beautiful today!" Duan Tianya exclaimed, gazing at Shangguan Haitang in a white dress, incredibly alluring. It was the first time he had seen Shangguan Haitang dressed as a woman.
Guihai One Move, next to him, watched Shangguan Haitang on the altar with a stone-faced expression but a hint of subtle sorrow in the depths of his eyes. It had ended before it even began.
"The ceremony begins, everyone, follow my lead in prayer!" Zhu Wushi’s loud voice echoed in the sky, and every person’s spirit focused, their eyes filled with fervor, anticipation, and excitement as they began to pray.
「In the chat group.」
Empress of Huan Yin Sect: "It’s my first time watching a live broadcast, it feels like I’m actually there, simply magical!"
In the world of Painting the World, within the crimson-canopied bed of the Huan Yin Sect, the alluring and languid Empress Shui Yunji watched Zhu Wushi’s live broadcast, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation. Although there were many videos in the chat group, watching a video and watching a live broadcast gave completely different experiences. Moreover, the chat group’s live broadcast had a magical power that made it feel genuinely immersive. That feeling couldn’t be put into words.
Dog Son of the Upper God: "Miss Empress, you’ll get used to it after a while!"
The Lord of Great Qin: "After enough times, it doesn’t feel like much. It’s just like that."
Lecherous Immortal from Toad Mountain: "Is this the enlightenment of a man surrounded by three thousand beauties in his harem?"
Lecherous Immortal from Toad Mountain: "That’s profound indeed. I would be content in this lifetime if I ever have such an epiphany!"
Demon Gate Yinhou: "Why long for three thousand beauties? A single plot of land doesn’t have to be tilled just once; tilling it over and over yields the same result!"
Lover of Beast Milk: "Oh, my, our village also had land, but if you excessively till the same plot, it becomes barren and needs to be fertilized!"
Demon Gate Yinhou: "Little Dot is really too cute. He knows all about fertilization as well. Good, good, especially parched land that requires irrigation to become fertile and moist."
Dog Son of the Upper God: "Sister Zhu, you’re speeding! Hands up, you’re under arrest!"
For Zhu Wushi’s live broadcast, the veterans of the chat group were uninterested; they had seen it too many times. Minor sacrificial rites in Martial Worlds like this didn’t intrigue them much. Except for newcomers like Empress Shui Yunji, and Wutian Buddha Ancestor, who had always been lurking.
「In the world of the sequel to Journey to the West.」 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
「Xitian Heavenly Spirit Mountain.」
「Great Thunder Sound Temple.」
The Tathagata has reincarnated and cannot influence me? Could it be my kinder side? But that doesn’t seem quite right... Wutian, clad in a black robe with long hair cascading down, sat cross-legged on the Primordial Spirit Black Lotus, his heart filled with doubt.
This live broadcast is indeed vivid. Are these people really from other worlds beyond the Three Realms?
Wutian originally practiced Buddhist Law. One thought to become a Buddha, one thought to fall into devilry. As Buddhism says, "One flower, one world; one leaf, one Bodhi." Wutian didn’t find it difficult to believe in other worlds beyond the Three Realms. He had yet to speak in the chat group, still uncertain whether the chat group was reality or an illusion.
This live broadcast might just give some clues... Wutian thought to himself, observing Zhu Wushi’s live broadcast attentively.
