The next day, the coming-of-age ceremony of the nobles of the Chu State. Chu Zhongli did not participate.

Chu Zhongli walked into a ruined temple, and as soon as he entered, he felt the oncoming dust, and he was thrown away, Chu Zhongli choked and coughed a few times, but he felt unusually stable in his heart. Near the capital of the Chu State, no one will come here now, so naturally no one will ask him, "Why don't you go to today's noble coming-of-age ceremony?"

Don't say that no one will come today, that is, all year round, there may not be one person who comes here, and now the secular forces all worship the emperor Fuxi, how can anyone worship what Donghuang Taiyi, if it weren't for the time when Chu Zhongli was born, the Donghuang Temple happened to have a vision, and a stone was produced - it was the one hanging around Chu Zhongli's neck, which made Chu Zhongli and Donghuang Taiyi have some kind of special bond, and Chu Zhongli would not know that there was a god Donghuang Taiyi.

When he walked in, he felt that the place was not breathing, there was a lot of dust, and his eyes were uncomfortable. The sun peeked in through the hole-ridden walls and ceiling, and the cobwebs on the statue were clear. The statue of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi is covered with cobwebs and looks like patches of beggars. The dust accumulated on the offering table in front of you can be used to plant flowers, and only the two legs on the left side of the offering table are good, and a few stones are taken on the right side to cushion.

When Chu Zhongli saw it, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, what kind of Donghuang Temple is this, this is not even as good as a slum, and he couldn't help but feel like something hurt in his heart. Said to the statue of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi: "Senior of the Eastern Emperor, I heard that you used to be the highest god in the world, but now you are being snubbed by others, if you also feel it, it must be very uncomfortable, right?"

He was going to wipe the idol and the offering table, but he found that he didn't bring any rags or anything like that, and when he had nothing to do, he sighed and thought to himself, since he had to wipe it, now that he found that he didn't bring a guy and didn't wipe it, it was too boring. Seeing that the weather was not cold, it was useless to wear an overcoat outside, so I untied the coat outside, formed a ball as a rag, and wiped it on the table. This time, a large pile of dirt was pushed down.

Chu Zhongli wiped it a few more times, wiped the offering table clean, stood in front of the statue again, and wiped off the cobwebs and dust on the statue of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, this time the extraordinary and majestic image of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi was revealed. After he did all this, he sat on the ground to rest, he was not a cultivator, there was no energy bonus, as long as he was a cultivator, even if it was the lowest level of Qi Condensation, he could use his vitality to assist him in doing many things, but he was just an ordinary body, so he sweated a lot when he wiped this statue.

Sitting on the ground and looking at the portrait of the East Emperor Taiyi, he felt that he was still very satisfied, although he was covered by dust before, but after the dust was swept away, he would still show his true nature, maybe life was like this, right? Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that he had a lot to talk about, and he regarded this portrait of the East Emperor Taiyi that he had wiped as a confidant, and spoke to him. In fact, it is also talking to himself, but he has found a spiritual sustenance for his self-talk.

"Senior Donghuang, why do you say that there is so much suffering in life? Why is God so unfair? Of course...... I don't seem to be in a position to complain, at least I'm still fed and clothed, and there are still many people in this world who are struggling to fill their stomachs. But I think it's the same for these people, or for me, or for everyone...... People always can't get what they really want, or after getting it, they find that what they have always hoped for in their hearts is not so good......"

When Chu Zhongli said that later, because of his emotional mobilization, his voice was also a little choked, and he said: "Senior Donghuang, if you can really be effective, I hope you can bless me and let me stop being tricked by fate." After finishing speaking, he knelt in front of the statue of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and kowtowed respectfully. The strangely shaped stone necklace also touched the ground as the head and neck lowered.

Suddenly, Chu Zhongli only felt a flower in front of him, and a naked person appeared from the side, much bigger than a normal person, almost as big as a god statue, but he looked unremarkable, it was a public face, and it seemed to be translucent, which looked very strange.

The naked man picked up the idol by the waist, smashed it into half on the ground, and then went up and punched it, smashing the idol into countless pieces, and then jumped and trampled on it with his feet, trampling the statue of Donghuang Taiyi into countless powders, and then waved his arm, and a gust of wind was generated, and the wind swept all the powder and scattered in the land of Shenzhou.

"You...... Who are you?" Chu Zhongli was not small in surprise at this moment, and asked in a trembling voice.

"I am the one you worshipped. The naked man's voice was flat, and he said lightly.

"You are...... Donghuang Taiyi?"

"My name is Taiyi. ”

"How did you smash your own image?"

"That's not my image, that's just what you think I am. This image is not my image either, but an image that I have changed to make you understand. Believe it or not. The man was transformed into a huge boar and made a snorting sound. Snorted a few times, and then turned back into a naked man. said: "You see, if I talk to a pig, I will become like this, a majestic pig king." ”

"yes...... It's amazing...... But people have to wear clothes, and I can't accept your image. ”

"Okay. Then I will still become the image you admire in your minds, so that you can look more pleasing to the eye. As he spoke, he changed his body again, and became the image of the god statue that he had just smashed, which was extraordinary and majestic.

Chu Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief, this time it was indeed much more pleasing to the eye.

"And what is your true form?"

"In this world, I have no form. ”

"Invisible ......?"

"In the eyes of you low-level life forms, I am truly invisible. But that's just your ability to comprehend, not my state of being, and that's enough for you to know. ”

“......”

"Why don't you speak?" asked Donghuang Taiyi.

"I'm waiting for you to speak. Chu Zhongli replied honestly.

"Well, good. I was beaten by Fuxi before, and I have been adrift until the day you were born, and I saw that you were a good material, so I made a vision and entered this stone in your necklace. I've been following you for eighteen years, and in the past few days, due to various coincidences, I have finally been able to appear in this translucent image, do you understand?"

"I ...... Seems to understand. But there are too many questions that I don't understand, such as why were you beaten into a temperament by Fuxi?"

"That was a long, long time ago, when there was nothing in this world but endless dust. I called this world the world of dust, and I wanted to decorate this world, so I created water, and as a result, the water resonated with the energy in my body, and the heavens resonated with the energy in my body, and the earth was born. Between heaven and earth, there is temperature and flowing air, that is, wind and fire. The most ridiculous thing is that the energy of the matter I create is actually stronger than mine. Heaven and earth actually gave birth to their advanced species, gods, and the four substances of earth, water, fire, and wind, and gave birth to all things, and then later, this world was no longer under my control.

Among the gods, there is one of the most powerful, called Fuxi, who, together with Nuwa, has created what he considers to be a superior species called humans. Fu Xi also created the 'love' and cultivation system for human beings, and these creations can already determine Fu Xi's absolute influence among human beings. He is revered as the 'Emperor of Men'. The influence of my Eastern Emperor Taiyi is getting lower and lower. At that time, in addition to Fuxi Nuwa, there were many gods, and several of them were influenced by me and became my little brothers, namely Dongjun, Yunzhongjun, Xiangjun, Lady Xiang, Da Si Ming, Shao Si Ming, Mountain Ghost, and Hebo. The others have all become Fuxi's younger brothers......"

Chu Zhongli listened, secretly felt funny, not only did he change the image that he could understand, but even spoke according to the words he could understand, the word "little brother" came out, but the popularity of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi is really not very good, Fuxi has so many gods as "little brothers", and there are only eight Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

“...... Later, the contradiction with them became bigger and bigger, so I fought, and I was outnumbered, so I was beaten into a temperament by them. My eight little brothers, the ghost of Hebo Mountain and those two are all little gods, and they are all dead. Dongjun, Yunzhongjun, Da Si Ming, and Shao Si Ming were also beaten into temperament. However, I didn't make them feel better, and when I was about to fail, I used all my strength to launch the coordinates of this world to other worlds. There is a world called the Shadow World, and the advanced species of the Shadow World is called the Demon, and they are very interested in this world, so they poke a big hole in the sky of this world, and 100,000 demon generals and hundreds of millions of mountain spirits and wild monsters come down from that hole, and the fire burns but does not extinguish, and the water floods without stopping...... It's a spectacular scene!"

"It turns out that the first war of gods and demons actually came about like this! Are those remnant demons in the world now also the products of that incident?" Chu Zhongli said.

"Naturally, Fuxi was also beaten into a temperament in the invasion of the demons, and Nuwa used her body to make up for the sky and died directly. The other gods also died a lot, as for those people, they were killed all over the field, blood flowed like rivers, and the world was full of human remains, and finally died eight or nine times out of ten, and fought for thousands of years before the invasion of the demon clan was controlled under the leadership of a man named Ji Xuanyuan. That Ji Xuanyuan is the ancestor of the current Zhou State. ”

"This ...... It's a bit despicable, isn't it?" Chu Zhongli listened to his description, and it was really a little difficult to accept.

"I don't know much about this word, I'll look it up. Donghuang Taiyi held his head with his hands, and the light on his head flowed, flashing, and suddenly showed a great understanding.

Donghuang Taiyi smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out that meanness refers to a style of acting that is not bound by morality." Thanks for the compliment. I am indeed despicable. ”

Chu Zhongli laughed when he heard him, feeling very speechless, it seems that God's way of thinking is indeed different from that of people, since this is the case, there is no need to raise the bar with him, let's continue to listen to him.

"So, Fu Xi and I have been in a state of drifting souls for thousands of years. Now it's up to who can recover his strength first, I am the God of Creation, much stronger than Fu Xi's energy, but Fu Xi is the emperor of men, this world has become his home field, he may recover faster than me, I wake up now, he may have recovered his body. So I hope we can work together to defeat Fuxi and take back my absolute control of this world. ”

"Hmm...... Although you didn't do a very good job of exposing the coordinates, this world was originally created by you, and it is only natural to take it back. It's just that if I help you, what benefits will you give me?" Chu Zhongli said.

"You can't practice because your talent is the worst in the current cultivation system of Fuxi, but because of this, I can establish a special bond with you, because the cultivation method of my Donghuang Taiyi, a primordial god, is originally different from Fuxi. If you want, I can let you cultivate in my own way, and guide you throughout the process, ensuring that you are much stronger than those waste humans. After cultivating into a small god like Dongjun and Yunzhongjun, it shouldn't be much of a problem. ”

After listening to the last few words, Chu Zhongli's pupils dilated. The cultivation talent in this world is divided into thirteen levels, which are Shang, Jiazhong, Jiaxia, B, C, Ding, and E. His talent is E, he can't learn anything, this kind of person is extremely rare in the whole world, and even appeared only in theory before.

Talent determines how quickly you can level up and learn the exercises, as well as the upper limit of the exercises you can learn. A can cultivate to the highest twelfth order, B can only cultivate to the ninth order, C is the sixth order, and so on. E, I just can't learn it.

In this world, there is no absolute distinction between strong and weak exercises, they all have their own characteristics, and the exercises are divided into the first and twelfth levels. No matter how ordinary an exercise is at the first level, after cultivating to a high level, it is extremely amazing. One of the most ordinary boxing techniques, when you reach the tenth order, is also the Beidou God Fist.

This is in terms of tricks, and the use of tricks, as well as the improvement of one's physique, rely on energy, energy is generally generated by cultivation, and the level of cultivators has a total of nine levels, namely:

Condensing qi, concentrating essence, refining spirits, knowing the Tao, returning to simplicity, Xuantong, phantom stars, catching the moon, chasing the sun.

The first three belong to the "human" realm, the middle three belong to the "earth" realm, and the last three belong to the "heaven" realm. After that, there is the unknowable realm.

Generally speaking, those who can reach the human realm to "gather refinement and refine gods" belong to the masters, and the masters of the realm are wealth in the whole world, and even for a country, the number of masters in the realm reflects the national strength to a certain extent. And the people in the Heavenly Realm are all legendary characters, and there are only a handful, and there are not even many people who have seen them.

Of course, this is a universal cultivation system, and for the Buddha forces and the demon race, they have their own cultivation systems.

Before, Chu Zhongli was very happy as long as the Heavenly Power had a C and a level to reach the Refining God. As a result, now he tells himself that he can become the strongest in this world, how can he not let him cheer?

"Yes, I promise. Then you...... How can you let me start cultivating?"

"I have been sleeping in the Donghuang Stone on your neck before, in the past eighteen years, our energy has infected each other, you woke me up, and I also planted the 'Donghuang Power' in your body, just now, I have activated all your Donghuang Power, you can feel it yourself. ”

Chu Zhongli sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling the changes in his body with his heart, and sure enough, he felt that there was a force next to the dantian qi sea that was gradually circulating.

"Try to put that power to work. ”

Chu Zhongli walked out of the temple gate and saw an unlucky tree, as thick as a person hugging him, and he gradually channeled this power to his arm and then to his wrist...... fingers, then clenched into a fist, and hit the big tree, only to hear a loud noise, the big tree broke from it, and the effect was amazing, which startled Chu Zhongli himself.

"This is the power of the Eastern Emperor, which is characterized by the 'Extreme of All Things', which greatly enhances your application of martial arts and your understanding of the natural world. In addition, your current cultivation level is a period of condensation, but this is not important, it is just a secular evaluation standard. Just keep cultivating like this, and sooner or later you will be able to surpass this world. ”

Taiyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "To be honest, I originally planned to exterminate the human race, but the bow you gave to me just now made me change my mind, and I am willing to stay with the human race, and even help the human race, as long as the human race can change to believe in me." And you are the first to bow down to me, and I will not do you any wrong. He smiled as he spoke, as he spoke, with a human-like smile.

"Really, I see!" Chu Zhongli was also very happy when he heard this, he had been neglected over the years, although there were a few who had a good relationship with him, but there were almost no who valued him, and Donghuang Taiyi, as the creator god, was once the strongest, and he valued himself so much, he couldn't help but make his blood boil. So he said to the Eastern Emperor Taiyi: "Okay, since this is the case, even if you risk death, I will help you regain this world." Don't worry, otherwise, I have no other choice!"

Donghuang Taiyi smiled and said: "Haha, of course I believe that you and I have the same smell, but they are grasshoppers on a rope, and we must be in cahoots and be embarrassed!"

Chu Zhongli was puzzled: "This and this, this ......"

Donghuang Taiyi: "What? Isn't it right? These are a few idioms that I specially found, which shows that we are very united!"

Chu Zhongli sneered: "The Eastern Emperor's senior...... There are positive and derogatory idioms in this world......"

Donghuang Taiyi waved his hand, and said with a disdainful expression: "What praise and derogation, mediocrity is just disturbing itself." Human beings are like this, they always like to promote themselves very well, and the other party is nothing, so there are so-called positive and derogatory meanings, which is really boring!"

Chu Zhong thought, since this is the case, then I don't want to raise the bar with him, just follow him what he says. So he also smiled and said: "Okay, you and I must be in cahoots and be embarrassed......!"

The two talked happily, and Chu Zhongli asked, "Then what should I do next?"

Donghuang Taiyi: "I don't know much about the current situation in the world at the moment, and I can't formulate a strategy yet, so you can take me around." The rest of the day I slept in that stone necklace of yours, keeping an eye on what's going on around me. Of course, you don't have to worry, I will shy away from your privacy when it comes to it. ”

Chu Zhongli said: "Okay, that's fine." It just so happens that I have reached the age of having a fief, so when the time comes, seal me a little farther away, and we can experience more!"

......

After Chu Zhongli obtained the power of the Eastern Emperor, he did two things that day, one was to discuss with his father to seal his fief to the border of Chu and Wu, so as to get more opportunities to temper.

The second is to find Zhaoqing that night and ask Zhaoqing out to duel alone. With the power of the Eastern Emperor in his body, he subdued Zhaoqing in a few rounds, grabbed Zhaoqing's neck by the neck, and slapped him twice. The power of the Eastern Emperor is so powerful that he knocked out a few of his teeth. Zhaocheng didn't believe that he could be beaten by Chu Zhongli, but when he learned that he had a conflict with the son of the king of Chu, he beat Zhaoqing up and warned him not to spoil his own big thing. This time the beating was even harder, and Zhaoqing didn't get up for several days.

Note: "Taisheng water, water anti-Taiyi, is to become a day." The heavens are anti-Taiyi, and they are made into the earth. Heaven and earth complement each other, and they become gods...... The gods are born of heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are born of the Oneness. - Chu Jian, "Taisheng Water"
