Taiyi Dao Fruit-Chapter 1230 - 21: Spiritual Mechanism Recovery, the Choice of Dao

The largest Cave Heaven Blessed Land in Liangzhou is actually Wushan. The Great Venerable has relocated several Cave Heavens there, integrated with the space where Wushan is located, and used Cosmic Light Divine Ability to isolate the interior and exterior, making Wushan take up most of the essence of Liangzhou.

Now that Wushan has been moved, naturally, there aren't many Cave Heaven Blessed Lands left to open.

This space itself is very rare, and even if small families own it, they couldn't possibly sustain it. Maintaining a Cave Heaven Blessed Land mainly relies on experts near the end of their lifespan self-sacrificing and using the leftover Essence Qi to nourish the Cave Heaven.

Small families simply lack such experts, making it impossible to maintain.

With the Great Venerable's sweep, Liangzhou has truly become a barren land now.

However, even in poverty, there is still a bit of spiritual mechanism to be extracted. Although not much, it's still some support.

For a while, spiritual mechanisms blossomed everywhere, with the impurities weakening day by day.

······

······

Time quickly moved to the thirtieth of the first month.

On this day, continuous spring rain fell for several days without showing any signs of stopping.

The Imperial College Sacrificial Officer pushed open the wooden window of the book building, watching the rain outside, sensing the omnipresent Essence Qi, yet his expression did not show joy, only solemnity.

The Divine Capital is currently the source of spiritual mechanism in the Nine Provinces, naturally, it is also the place where the spiritual mechanism is most abundant.

Located on the outskirts of the Divine Capital, the Imperial College also enjoys geographical advantages, with a surrounding environment where purity and impurity are distinct, purity walks the heavens and impurity absorbs into the earth, truly a splendid scene.

"How is it?" the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer asked in a deep voice.

Imperial Historian Xiao Zhi, not far behind him, reported with his head down: "Jingzhou, Yangzhou, Qing State, Yu State, Xuzhou, the Five States are already covered by spiritual mechanism, the impurities still exist, but they are always in decline."

"Although Liangzhou is being managed by us Confucian scholars, in the face of the court's decree, we cannot disobey, all the discovered Cave Heaven Blessed Lands have been opened, within at most two months, they will also be covered by spiritual mechanism."

"And then there's Yan State, this area is not large, yet it turns out Mo Sect's main hall is located here. Recently, Mo Sect Master Mo Xuankong personally opened the Mo Sect's Shangxian Palace, connecting the Cave Heaven to the outside world. Within a few days Yan State will also be covered by spiritual mechanism."

After all, the place itself is not big, and Mo Sect has passed down through many years, a historically long-standing Daoist inheritance.

In the remaining states, Yong Province is now filled with Buddha Cultivators who promote Buddhist Law everywhere, those monks no longer play the deceitful mind games of the past but their skills are still formidable.

The main thing is that Buddha Country's cultivation techniques either emphasize enlightenment, where those with aptitude can rapidly progress through the Spiritual Realm; or emphasize ascetic cultivation, with the greatest requirement being the ability to endure hardship.

As long as one can endure hardship, there will always be some gains, and Yong Province is full of people who can endure hardship better than anywhere else.

Thus, Buddha Country opened the high-end market with enlightenment techniques and the low-end market with ascetic techniques, spreading across this once troubled land of Yong Province.

The key is that once these monks heard the court's order, they started spreading the benefits of the spiritual mechanism's resurgence with their own rations, turning Yong Province, once a breeding ground for rebels, into a land of loyal subjects.

As for Jizhou, the Daoist Lord is currently sitting in the Divine Capital Imperial City. Daode Sect, as the local dragon of Jizhou, has not opened Cave Heaven Blessed Lands to respond, but has fully supported the transformation of purity and impurity, Jizhou should be almost done too.

"Almost all are done."

The Imperial College Sacrificial Officer sighed lightly: "After years of war, those in the Nine Provinces who did not submit to the Emperor have either died or fled, now with the transformation of purity and impurity, and the resurgence of the spiritual mechanism, all under Great Zhou's heaven is firmly in the Emperor's hand. If he were a true Emperor, how great it would be······"

In the same prosperous era, Elder Tianji sees brilliance, while the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer sees high centralization.

For generations, Emperors used Earth God Dao Fruits to control the world, but with the Heavenly Monarch's destruction, this system is now mostly ruined.

The main reason is that the Heavenly Monarch once controlled a wide array of local officials, and most of those officials were offered as blood sacrifices by the Heavenly Monarch, and when the Heavenly Monarch was defeated, the Earth God Dao Fruits were lost.

Now, even if the court wants to use the same method to control the localities, there are no Dao Fruits to issue with. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Emperor Jiang's method of controlling the Nine Provinces through the spiritual mechanism completely replaces the former Earth God official system, and is more centralized than before. Judging from the current situation, this method is much better than the Earth God system.

The premise is that the current Emperor is as selfless as those of past generations······

For the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer, the more centralized Emperor Jiang becomes, the more uneasy he feels.

If the Emperor pulls off some grand event, this realm will likely crumble.

"Additionally, Emperor's power increasing too fast will certainly attract powerful enemies to hinder, a new great war is imminent." The Imperial College Sacrificial Officer said with sunken eyes.

The commotion of purity and impurity transformation was too apparent, the power boost it brought to Jiang Li was too rapid. Let alone others, the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer right now could sense the increasingly immense Qi Mechanism in the Divine Capital.

Just by sensing the Qi Mechanism, a figure that seemed to fill the universe unconsciously sketched itself in his mind.

The commotion is too great, so much so that enemies can clearly sense Jiang Li's power increase.

If this continues, a new round of great war is bound to unfold.

This time, the Emperor's means are too conspicuous, clearly, he could have used gentler ways······

While pondering, the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer suddenly showed a pause in expression.

After a while, the Sacrificial Officer suddenly spoke up: "The Emperor must be planning to advance. Xiao Zhi, has there been any movement recently in the Yin World where the former Yin Law Department was?"

Xiao Zhi heard this, also paused, then carefully recalled and said: "After Earth Uncle's death, the Yin Law Department was basically abolished, after which there has been basically no news."

Indeed, there was no news, otherwise the Imperial College Sacrificial Officer would have surely heard.

After all, it was once the secluded cultivation ground of the Ji Family's old artifacts, and supported by an existence like Earth Uncle, being of great importance, if there were any movements, the Sacrificial Officer would have been informed first.

"No news······" the Sacrificial Officer murmured, "No news, is the greatest anomaly."

Even if there are no suitable ghost cultivators at hand, it's impossible to leave the Yin World entirely deserted.

That place was once part of the Yin Soil, how could it just be neglected? Even with no grand movements, some actions should be unavoidable.

No movement can only mean someone is covering up the activity.

'Is the Emperor purposely attempting to advance to the Jade Emperor Dao Fruit?'

······

······

"Jade Emperor Dao Fruit, Emperor Yan's Tao Fruit, East King Lord Dao Fruit."

Under the ginseng fruit tree, Jiang Li arranged the three Dao Artifacts.

The Jade Emperor Dao Fruit now uses the Emperor Jade Seal as its carrier, the Emperor Yan's Tao Fruit uses the Ochre Whip and the Divine Farmer's Cauldron, while the East King Lord Dao Fruit is represented by a Qingmu Ancient Tree.

"Lastly, there's Zhen Yuanzi's Dao Fruit."

Jiang Li finally glanced at the tree root beside him.

This ginseng fruit tree is also a Second Grade Daoist Artifact, containing the Dao Fruit of the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhen Yuanzi. The ginseng fruit tree belongs to the wood element, Zhen Yuanzi's Dao Fruit also has some wood element, which somewhat aligns with Jiang Li's Green Emperor Dao Fruit.

It's just that Zhen Yuanzi also has earth element attributes, and his Dao Fruit is purely immortal, which somewhat contradicts Jiang Li's future choices.

His choice primarily leans towards humanity and divinity.

However, if truly argued, an immortal Dao Fruit isn't infeasible. Dao Fruits of early included Daoist, magician, Qi Refiner, and Daoist Persona, all are quite compatible with immortal Dao Fruits. Furthermore, he now possesses Yuanshi Tianzun, a First Grade immortal Dao Fruit.

'These are the most suitable Dao Fruits I have at hand; the others, though powerful and highly compatible, are somewhat difficult to mix with other Dao Fruits.'

Jiang Li thought silently.

The most typical example is Warlord Chi You's Dao Fruit.

Emperor Jiang's hands are stained with much blood of the Ji and Jiang families, including formidable figures like Manjusri, the Former Emperor, Heavenly Monarch, starting from a branch of the Jiang family to rise up, greatly fitting the cause and effect of Warlord, with a considerable degree of compatibility.

However, the Warlord Dao Fruit has some incompatibility with the Green Emperor Dao Fruit, so it's set aside as an alternative.

'What I can think of, you can think of too. In your conjectures, I should only have these choices. Your targeting, will also be based on these Dao Fruits, to set arrangements.'
