Houtu Sacred Mountain, the world's number one holy place for cultivation and the location of the five cities of gods and demons, was sparsely populated when the earth was closed when it turned into a cave world. Now it has regained its prosperity. More than tens of millions of people from all over the world live in the five cities of gods and demons. The cultivators and wealthy people from all over the world, in addition to buying properties in the sky city, also like to live in the holy place of Houtu Sacred Mountain.
As for the City of Alchemy, this city is very special. Only alchemists, weapon refiners, alchemists and pill refiners are allowed to join. Except for these people's families, students and hired personnel, outsiders are prohibited from settling in for a long time. The only people who go there are tourists who buy alchemical items and businessmen. Some people even say that in this city, the number of mechanical men, golden warriors, alchemical dolls and golems combined is more than the number of living people.
However, several additional island towns in the surrounding area prospered because of the Alchemy City.
At this moment, on the cloud vortexes and cloud platforms outside the fairy formations surrounding the Houtu Divine Mountain, there are thousands of flying cars of various types and colors parked. Some are like iron cylinders, some are like flying saucers, and there are also some special large spirit ships and flying fortresses. These are official personnel from various countries. Today happens to be the final day of the selection of fairy officials at the Houtu Divine Mountain, and they are waiting for the end of the ceremony of conferring the fairy officials by the Houtu Divine Palace.
With the development of the cultivation system to its current level, and the improvement of the technology of alchemical lathes and standard refining furnaces, flying cars can now be manufactured in batches. They are quite popular all over the world and can be bought everywhere. The only difference is that the price varies depending on the production workshop. Most of the other manned flying instruments similar to spirit ships and temples are custom-made products.
As for the most common flying carpet, for most people, this thing is equivalent to a bicycle before the era of spiritual practice. At least before the Houtu Sacred Mountain, no one had the nerve to ride on such a thing.
While everyone was anxiously waiting, they also discussed the information they knew. At this point, the overall situation was basically decided and there was no possibility of information leaks.
"It looks like the Eastern cultivation circle has the upper hand again this time!"
"The Celestial Official has been decided. I heard it's Zhou Yang?"
"Is this guy still here? Hasn't he retired? I heard he's old? Is his life coming to an end?"
"But he has great merits! Since the first year of the cultivation era when the Gate of Gods and Demons was discovered, he has been the person behind the scenes controlling the situation of the entire Eastern cultivation world. His influence can be seen in the cultivation world and the creation of the entire cultivation system."
"But it seems that they failed with the immortal official from the Earth Department. The Buddhist sect from the Mountain and Sea Realm took action, and the one they sent was a monk who was born in the world of gods and demons."
"If both the Heaven Department and the Earth Department are controlled by the Chinese snobs, I'm afraid the Earth will be completely controlled by them."
"One department is in charge of all climate changes in the world, the length of the four seasons and even the length of daylight and night. Another department is in charge of all the veins on the earth. Mineral veins, plants, water resources, oil resources and other resources are all planned and controlled by them."
"Although the immortal officials of the Water Department are not their people, the auxiliary gods are from the former Chinese Investigation Bureau. Fortunately, the Spirit Department was obtained by the chief of the Temple of the Gods, but this has exhausted all the power of the Western cultivation circle."
"There is also the Immortal Official of the God Department. He has the final say on all Earth God advancements. This time the competition is the most intense. Three big guys have made it to the final stage. It has not been decided yet. I don't know who will win in the end."
Several white men in suits spoke jaw-droppingly fluent Chinese, saying all kinds of terms that many Chinese people might not know. They were well-versed in all kinds of Eastern myths and cultivation terms. If you didn't look at their faces, they looked more Chinese than the Chinese.
If it were in the previous era, there would definitely be a strong sense of incongruity, but after the arrival of the Great Cultivation Era, this situation has become a common status quo. In order to adapt to the arrival of the Cultivation Era, even Chinese has surpassed English several years ago and has become not only the most widely spoken language in the world, but also the most widely used language.
From the discussions of the crowd outside, we can learn that the immortal officials and auxiliary gods belonging to the various departments under the Hou Tu Divine Palace have basically been selected one by one, and even the gods who make up the departments of heaven, earth, water, spirits, gods, etc. have been decided.
After so many years in Houtu Mountain and in the human world, there are still a lot of earth gods and gods of merit and virtue that have been accumulated, which are enough to build a system that controls the rules and order of the entire Houtu Cave Heaven.
Outside the Houtu Sacred Mountain, everyone was waiting anxiously. Inside the mountain, the sound of the chime bells shook the sea of clouds. Every time it was struck, a group of people would enter the Houtu Temple to pay homage to the great goddess Houtu.
The image of Hou Tu Tianzun stood above the Yunhai Palace. Under Tianzun's throne, Ling Ji, the Palace Master of the Immortal Palace, led the immortal officials and divine clerks of Hou Tu Divine Mansion and stood at his feet. Among them were the five present gods and demons, who were also witnessing this scene.
She held in her hands a divine decree from Heaven and a decree from the Lord of Heaven, representing that this ceremony of deifying the gods was not only an internal decree of the Houtu Divine Palace, but also recognized by the ancient Heavenly Court. The immortal officials who were deified would also be recorded in the immortal register of Heaven and become gods of Heaven.
"The decree of Hou Tu Tianzun, the imperial seal of the ancient heaven, the heaven and earth are witnesses!"
"The Hou Tu Divine Palace appointed Zhou Yang as the Immortal Official of the Heavenly Department of Hou Tu Realm, and He Yunshan as the Assistant God of the Heavenly Department..."
After a group of immortal officials and divine clerks were conferred titles, they were seen to have the destiny of heaven and earth added to them, and divine robes automatically emerged from their bodies. Several immortal officials came down holding divine seals, which were personally taken over by the leading immortal official and divine clerk. The vast power of the laws involuntarily surged out from the leading immortal official.
Afterwards, the celestial official Zhou Yang slowly withdrew from the Hou Tu Temple. He still had to hold the divine seal and enter the Immortal Washing Pool, and go through nine divine night thunder tribulations before he could truly ascend to the position of celestial official. However, only the main immortal officials of each department were qualified, and the auxiliary gods of each department did not have this opportunity.
After the immortal officials and divine officials appointed by the Heaven Department left, the next batch of reserve immortal officials from the Earth Department walked in as the bell rang.
Batch after batch, from early morning to sunset, this grand ceremony of immortals and gods finally came to an end, announcing the outcome of the game between various parties in the world, and the snobbish divisions in the world also entered a new situation.
Some countries have risen because people occupied important positions, while some countries have lost in this game and began to decline.
When Lu Wu, the ancestor of human immortals, walked out of the Hou Tu Temple, he immediately saw several flying cars emitting spiritual light parked in mid-air. Several people had been waiting for him on the exit platform of the Hou Tu Mountain.
"Martial Ancestor! Baigang is leaving Earth!"
"So soon? I was originally planning to go and see the Emperor off, but I didn't expect it was too late!"
Lu Wu counted on his fingers and immediately shook his head. He had stayed in the Hou Tu Temple for too long and spent all his energy on it.
"Forget it! The moon isn't too far away anyway. I'll go there myself later. I've never left Earth before, so I'd like to take a look at the scenery in space."
Many people had gone into space before, and some even wanted to fly directly to the moon. After all, after reaching the realm of immortality, one could survive for a long time even in outer space or even in worse environments. However, that practitioner felt his magic power was gradually exhausted after he left the earth halfway through the flight, and he almost didn't fly back.
Because of the bestowal of the mountain god Teng and gods from all directions, the earth is full of spiritual energy and its veins are like dragons. However, there is still no place without any spiritual energy outside of space. After practitioners fly up there, not only will their own magic power not be replenished, it will even instinctively overflow to the outside.
However, if it is an immortal god, flying to the moon or even Mars will have no problem. However, if there is no extraterritorial temple established, even an immortal god will not be able to return after his immortal power is exhausted, and will be sealed in the cold starry universe.
If no one rescues them, because of their immortality, they will only turn into mummies in the cold and lonely starry sky and feel the coldness forever.
After learning about the horror of the starry universe, no monk would dare to fly directly out of the earth to the moon, Mars, or Jupiter.
Originally, the official cultivation organizations of various countries and many practitioners had planned to proceed in other ways. For example, China had also created immortal artifacts such as the Nine Star Palace. Other countries also had various plans and plans, but plans could not keep up with changes. With the reopening of the Heavenly Palace, the era of extraterritorial Taoist temples arrived.
The intelligent shadow bead in one person's hand suddenly projected the current scene and picture of White Harbor. It was seen that the entire Antarctic was in daylight and the weather was clear and cloudless. Above the sea of clouds, one could only see the sky city at the bottom slowly descending, and the city on the ground also burst out beams of light to connect with the sky city.
