In the fifteenth year of Dazhen Jianchang, on an autumn night in Bingzhou, the rice and wheat in the fields had all been harvested, and the fields were full of newly built solid straw sheds, which looked like small houses in the fields.
This year is another bumper harvest. Farmers will often lie on the straw piles and look at the stars in the sky in their spare time. This is also a leisure activity that Bingzhou people have become increasingly fond of in recent years.
The children lay on the straw hut and looked at the bright stars in the sky. The beautiful Milky Way was so intoxicating. The children counted the stars and looked at the silver light in the sky, also looking for the stars that the old man said belonged to them.
"Is there any boat sailing on this great river in the sky? If I could get on that boat, I would be able to find my own star!"
"Only gods can ride on this kind of boat, how can it be your turn?"
"Where do you think our star is? Is it in the Milky Way?"
"My star must be the brightest among them!"
"Mine is the best. Yours is not as bright as mine."
"I'm the bright one!"
Several children were fighting and arguing with each other, but after a while they would calm down and look at the beautiful scenery in the sky. There had been signs of changes in the sky before, but in recent years a river of stars had become increasingly obvious, gradually extending from Bingzhou to most of Dazhen.
"Hey—Xiaoliang, it's getting late, let's go home!"
An elder called out at the edge of the field, and a child in the straw hut immediately stood up.
"My mother called me, I have to go first."
"Then I have to go too." "You all are leaving?"
“Boring!”
After the first child left, the rest of the parents seemed to arrive one after another in tacit understanding and took their children back.
However, although it was night, the weather was clear with bright stars and moonlight, and there was no lack of visibility on the road. The farmers were diligent in tidying up the fields and there were not many weeds, so there was no need to worry about the children being bitten by snakes or insects.
In the end, only one child was left looking at the sky, because this was his family's field, and his own yard was about twenty steps away. At this time, the mother over there also stood at the door and called out.
"Ayu, why don't you come back soon?"
"oh… "
The child responded, but his eyes were staring blankly at the Milky Way in the sky, as if there was really the shadow of a ship sailing there.
…
In the Yunshan Temple, Ji Yuan, who was supposed to be sitting cross-legged, could not be seen in the old temple hall. Nor could the Mountain Imperial Decree and the Human God Huang Xingye, who were supposed to be floating above, be seen. It was just like the seven years in the Southern Wilderness, when Ji Yuan and the Human God disappeared for no reason.
Of course, the people in Yunshan Temple were different from the Li family and Zuo Wuji. They knew that Mr. Ji did not leave without saying goodbye, and no one would enter the old temple to disturb them at this time.
In fact, the stars in the sky cannot be simply attributed to the Nine Heavens Galaxy Array of Yunshan Temple. In addition to the fact that the array and the stars echo each other and even have a tendency to merge with each other, it is also because of Ji Yuan's method of transforming heaven and earth and transforming the world through dreams that such a brilliant starry sky beauty appears in the sky.
At this moment, a golden boat was sailing in the galaxy above the nine heavens, surrounded by brilliant starlight and hazy stars. There were three people on the boat, one was the human-sized god Huang Xingye, one was the world-traveling god Qin Zizhou, and the other was Ji Yuan.
“No matter how many times I see it, it still feels so beautiful!”
Huang Xingye sighed, and Qin Zizhou on the side couldn't help but nodded.
"Moreover, the magic of Mr. Ji's method of transforming the world is truly a magnificent wonder that few people in the world can see!"
Ji Yuan shook his head.
"That's both right and wrong. It's a magnificent sight, but it's not hard for people to see it. A farmer can see it just by lying on his straw hut, right?"
"Haha, that's true. Among the practitioners of various paths, I think there must be many Taoist friends who have flown here out of curiosity, right?"
“That’s too many to count!”
Huang Xingye said this with a smile. Unlike the mortal Huang Xingye, the human god had no restraint when facing Qin Zizhou and Ji Yuan. He spoke freely like he was communicating with close Taoist friends.
There were faintly some seal characters on the golden boat that the three people were riding on. It was called a boat, but it looked more like a raft. If you look closely, you will find that it was actually a small part of the imperial summons that was unfolded.
"Yin alone cannot survive, and Yang alone cannot be born. I thought this step would take at least a hundred years, but with two sides of the Star Banner and the help of Lord Qin's great magical power, it really saves a lot of time. In addition, with Fellow Daoist Huang and the Imperial Edict, it is enough to achieve that crucial step."
Huang Xingye looked at the brilliant starlight around him, and then at the lights of thousands of homes in Bingzhou below. They were in this world but seemed to be floating outside the heaven and earth, yet they could see the lights of the lower world.
"Mr. Ji, you are underestimating me. Without your extraordinary talent and boundless magical powers, this matter would not even be possible."
Huang Xingye is still a god now. It may not be appropriate to call him a god in human form, but he still has no duties or affiliations. He knows that he will be in charge of Wuliang Mountain sooner or later, and he has a keen sense of the affairs of heaven and earth and the people and things he comes into contact with.
Qin Zizhou also agreed with this very much, but after listening to the key step that Ji Yuan mentioned, he still felt it was a bit of a pity.
"Alas, what a pity! Unfortunately, there is still not enough time. If there were another 100 or 200 years, there would be time to build the framework of the Heavenly Palace. This is a flaw in the ointment!"
Ji Yuan didn't mind it at all. He seemed to be in a very good mood and was even in the mood to make a joke.
"Does Lord Qin feel a little regretful that he was not able to directly become a god or king in heaven?"
"Hahahahaha... Mr. Ji, please don't make fun of Qin. Even if the Heaven Palace is perfect, I will only show up occasionally. It's better to tinker with the Emperor of Heaven. I would rather study the miraculous pharmacology in my spare time. By the way, since we are talking about this, Mr. Ji, when will you write a heavenly book on alchemy and pharmacology? Your masterpieces are all wonderful beyond heaven and earth."
Ji Yuan was a little amused and helpless.
"Mr. Qin, do you really think I know everything? Well, no more words, we are here, let's get started."
While the few people were chatting, the golden boat had sailed to a special position on the Milky Way. Although nothing could be seen from the earth, in the eyes of the three people, this place was faintly the center of the projection of the Yunshanguanxinghe formation, and it was also the center of this world of transformation. The starlight and the universe all revolved around this place.
"This is the place!"
"Friend Huang, be careful not to damage your vitality too much!"
"Huang knows his limits!"
The three of them said a word each, and then took a step away from the golden boat under their feet. Ji Yuan and Qin Zizhou had not made any move yet, but Huang Xingye wiped his forehead, and suddenly a purple light shot out from it, shining on the mountain-sealing talisman, dyeing the golden color into purple-gold.
"My two Taoist friends, please take action."
After Huang Xingye said this, Ji Yuan and Qin Zizhou immediately cast a spell together. The latter pinched his fingers and slapped the front, causing a starlight to swirl around the golden boat. Ji Yuan flicked his sleeves, stretched out his hand towards the sky and gently pulled it down, then spread out his sleeves.
With the combined efforts of the two, the endless starlight from the higher sky poured down like mercury, covering not only a corner of the sky, but the entire sky.
In other places between heaven and earth, the starry sky tonight seemed to have dimmed all of a sudden, but in the Dazhen sky, especially in the Bingzhou sky, the starlight seemed to be becoming brighter and brighter, more and more dazzling.
I don’t know how many people with great spiritual power have used various methods to predict what the changes in the stars represent, and I don’t know how many people have been unable to sleep at night because of this.
Not only Taoist monks, but also some kings, princes and generals of the human dynasties were sleepless at night, because the great changes in the stars would inevitably reflect the general trend of the world, so officials like the Imperial Observatory were also busy and overwhelmed.
Ji Yuan and others could not care about what the outside world thought or how they reacted. Since Ji Yuan arrived at Yunshan Temple with the Mountain Sealing Talisman, what he had prepared for was not only to make Huang Xingye gradually get in tune with the power of the talisman, but more importantly, what happened tonight.
The Taoists of Yunshan Temple were also awake at this moment. They all stood on the top of Yanxia Peak and looked up at the stars in the sky. Bai Ruo and Sun Yaya were naturally among them.
In the Ju'an Pavilion, Zao Niang stood under a jujube tree and looked up at the sky. In her arms was Hu Yun, who had transformed into a red fox.
On the vast ocean, thousands of aquatic creatures are traveling together. The old dragon, his son and his daughter look back at the stars in the distant sky.
In the Yin Mansion in the capital city of Dazhen, the Yin family members also looked up at the sky in silence.
Whether it is the immortals such as Ju Yuanzi, Zhao Yu and the old beggar in Yuhuaishan, Jiufengshan and Qianyuan Sect, or the Mingwang in the Buddha Kingdom, or Xin Wuya in the netherworld, or even Aze who is alone outside, as well as those enemies of Jiyuan and all kinds of people who pay attention to Tianxing...
As long as people notice the starry sky, they can't help but look up at this moment.
Because the center of this starlight is located in Dazhen, Yunzhou, many people who know the truth or not will inevitably think of Ji Yuan at this moment and guess what happened.
Of course, there are also some cultivators who have already been riding clouds or wind to approach Bingzhou at this moment, but they cannot get close to the stars in the sky, and dare not get too close.
The stars in the sky kept getting brighter and brighter, but finally reached a limit, and the star power of the stars in the sky seemed to fall endlessly into a bottomless pit, falling without a moment's delay.
"Do it for me!"
Ji Yuan shouted softly, and made hand gestures with both hands at his sleeves, and finally pointed his finger at the mountain-sealing talisman.
"boom-"
When this finger was brought down, an endless stream of purple-gold light rippled out. The stars in the sky all burst into a faint purple-gold light at this moment, and then immediately disappeared.
At this moment, a muffled thunder sounded in the sky. No matter where in the world, whether there were clouds or not, as long as one had a certain level of Taoism, one could hear the muffled thunder.
And above the Milky Way where only Ji Yuan and three other people were, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
A light golden stone platform appeared at the location of the original golden boat, and on it there was a square stele that was only one person tall. Both the stone platform and the stele were engraved with densely packed characters, some of which could be understood, while others were irregular celestial symbols, and there were stars everywhere.
"I just hope that by doing this, I can make sure that I can be the mountain god of Wuliang Mountain."
Huang Xingye frowned and said something, still a little worried, while Ji Yuan shook his head.
"Won't."
Qin Zizhou remained silent and approached the stone platform and the square stele. On one side, there were several patterns that were different from ordinary words, which converged into four large characters - Heaven.
"Mr. Ji, how similar is this to the foundation of the ancient heaven?"
Qin Zizhou asked this question, and Ji Yuan thought about it. Although he had no memory of the ancient heaven, it seemed that it was definitely different from the present.
"Perhaps not at all. Back then it was just a palace hanging in the sky, but now it is a special world floating in the sky. Although it is just an empty shell, it has a foundation."
Huang Xingye's face was a little pale. In order for this inscription to connect heaven and earth and turn the virtual into the real, in addition to Ji Yuan's great supernatural power, he contributed a lot of vitality, but he still had a smile on his face.
"In this case, as long as they can get a response, those virtuous gods will be able to transcend the constraints of the earth with the help of the power of the sky river!"
Even Ji Yuan couldn't contain his pride at this moment.
This heavenly realm is extremely mysterious, but fundamentally, the principles are not complicated. As early as the time when Emperor Zhenyuan De held the water and land conference, Ji Yuan Guanyue had already conceived of it.
For example, some powerful gods are restricted by the boundaries of the earth and cannot leave too far from their jurisdiction or simply cannot leave at all, but the existence of the Tianhe boundary can make up for this problem to a certain extent.
First, it is because the power of the stars in the sky is descending, which has the effect of moving stars to different constellations; the second and most crucial point is that since the Milky Way is a river, it also has reflections. Although this reflection may not be visible at all in the starry light, as long as the starlight of the Milky Way can reach a place, the image of the reflected earth can be projected with the star power, and the earth-limiting methods of those great gods can be avoided.
Of course, the basic premise is that the great gods themselves have to be willing.
