“Edict!”

Shen Yuan sat at the stone table, looking at the ancient book’s page about the God-appointment Imperial Edict. He summoned the Gods Purging Divine Edict subconsciously, forming a massive ‘Edict’ character in the void.

All laws of the Incense Offering Divinity Path are inseparable from incense offering and edict. In many ancient classics concerning incense offering deities, Shen Yuan could intuit the true meaning of Gods Purging Divine Power by using the incense fire and the Divine Edict.

Gazing at the illusory golden character in the sky, Shen Yuan narrowed his eyes and said,

“It’s risky to have the true meaning of the edict without incense faith. It can lead to great disaster if the foundation is unstable!”

With a sweep of his large sleeve, the massive golden character collapsed with a bang.

Shen Yuan didn’t follow the Incense Fire Way, hence he didn’t accumulate incense fire’s power. This could be considered a minor flaw in the Gods Purging Divine Power.

If there were enough incense fire power, it certainly would be easier for the Gods Purging Divine Power to advance.

“Unfortunately, to maintain my immortal foundation, I can’t arbitrarily accumulate incense fire power. This makes comprehending the Gods Purging Divine Power even more difficult,” Shen Yuan said regretfully, shaking his head. But then he thought of something else, his eyes directly landing on the Life Origin Stone under the date tree.

The Life Origin Stone had been under the tree for several days. It had taken the form of a white-robed immortal underneath the tree, indistinguishable from the real Shen Yuan to the young tree’s nascent spiritual wisdom.

The drifting leaves were mostly intentionally avoided by the date tree, only a few withered leaves remained on the shoulders of the stone.

From a distance, it did give off the impression of a banished immortal on earth.

However, what Shen Yuan was interested in was not the appearance of the Life Origin Stone, but its unique features.

“Even though I can’t accumulate incense fire power, it doesn’t mean that my External Incarnation can’t.

The Life Origin Stone, as the best material for incense offering deities to cast divine statues and the best carrier for divine incarnation, is the perfect choice to craft an Incense Avatar!”

Shen Yuan thought of a previously unconsidered possibility, excitement flashing in his eyes.

“The Life Origin Stone can not only perfectly carry incense fire’s power, but it can also perfectly manifest the thoughts of all beings contained within the incense fire power, maximizing the potential of all divine arts and skills.

If there is enough incense fire power, I can even directly cast the Gods Purging Divine Edict using the Life Origin Stone!”

Thinking of this, Shen Yuan walked into his room, preparing to enter the Electronic Scripture Depository to search for relevant information and to evaluate the feasibility of an Incense Avatar.

However, Shen Yuan didn’t notice that the Life Origin Stone, which had been mimicking him for several days, had already absorbed the incense fire power that belonged to him.

The resonate Gods Purging Edict, using the Life Origin Stone as a medium, appeared thousands of miles away, within Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens.

…

As the God’s Purging Edict fell, the giant God Invocation Incense, which was like a pillar reaching for the skies, burned rapidly, consuming almost half in just a short time.

In the silent mountains of Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood, which had its core removed, began to sprout new branches as if it was answering a supreme call. The once dying tree started sprouting buds again.

The roots rapidly spread, taking root deep within the earth. The branches flourished, growing a huge canopy that covered the skies and overshadowed the mountains.

In the place of the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood’s main trunk, the face of an old, decrepit man appeared clearly, his turbid eyes filled with the wisdom of ages.

The next moment, an intense aura of incense offering deity spread throughout Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens. The grotto heavens vibrated, announcing the birth of a deity to the entire heavenly realm.

“A Heavenly Court Canonical God!”

Unbelieving exclamations came from the True Beings within Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens. Everyone’s gaze trembled as they looked at the revived Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood. Its massive form seemed to merge with Jade Pillar Mountain.

The aura that controlled a corner of the world, connected to the earth veins, made everyone sure that this was absolutely a Canonical God bestowed by the Heavenly Court!

“The Great Schism cut off all connections between the Primal Chaos Realm and the Heavenly Court for thousands of years. How can there be another Heavenly Court Canonical God in the world?

And this isn’t even within the Primal Chaos Realm, it’s just within Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens!”

Everyone was horrified. Only Mo Li, who had thought of the incense fire deity-like figure and the faint edict earlier, couldn’t help but say to the real beings,

“Could it have been bestowed by the Supreme Taoist?”

As soon as his words were uttered, everyone fell silent.

At this moment, high atop Cloud Top Sky Palace, Gong Buhuo’s old face was also filled with disbelief.

When he saw the figure under the tree constantly changing with the thoughts of all beings from the incense fire, Gong Buhuo had some doubts about his identity. But as the edict fell, his doubts were mostly dispelled.

In front of him, in an ancient bronze cauldron, the God Invocation Incense that could only be crafted with the thoughts of thousands of beings had already burned half.

You have to know that before the Great Schism, a single stick of God Invocation Incense was enough to invite a single Canonical God of the Eight Bureaus to descend and lend their power, displaying strength comparable to a Tao Harmony Taoist Doyen.

Usually, only one stick of God Invocation Incense would be used up after a battle.

But now, Shen Yuan had only executed an Edict across the grotto heavens, causing the God Invocation Incense to be consumed by more than half, which was difficult for him to comprehend.

When he saw the lush Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood among the mountains, he immediately looked at the nameplate made from the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood’s heart which was placed on the altar of Cloud Top Sky Palace, and understanding dawned on him.

“The nameplate of Senior Brother Supreme Taoist is made from the heart of the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood. its construction nearly killed the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood.

Senior Brother Supreme Taoist foresaw this causality. Unable to bear seeing the Ten Thousand Years Xuan Yin Wood die because of him, he proclaimed the edict and bestowed the status of a Heavenly Court Canonical God!”

Even the experienced Gong Buhuo did not hold back his awe at such a move.

“Could this be some divine power obtained by the Ancestor before his reincarnation?”

Within this Great Schism environment, to be appointed as a Heavenly Court Canonical God in place of the Heavenly Court, even in the Upper World they would undoubtedly belong to the top powers!”

If it were anyone else, Gong Buhuo would naturally have doubts about the source of this divine power.

However, if it’s placed on the Supreme Taoist Brother, who is suspected to be the reincarnation of the Ancestor, Gong Buhuo’s doubts in his heart immediately disappear.

In his view, anything that happens to the Supreme Taoist Brother is reasonable.

After all, the Supreme Taoist represents the past and future of the sect leader. Renowned movers in the immortal world can choose to reincarnate, so what else is impossible?

With the end of the Divine Edict, the profound eyes of the banished immortal returned to being dim, as if he no longer paid attention to Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, and made no response to Gong Buhuo.

Feeling the changes brought by the Divine Edict, Gong Buhuocouldn’t help but sigh:

“Brother’s divine power truly far exceeds our imagination.”

Although he said so, Gong Buhuo did not end the God Invocation ceremony.

This Divine Edict is extraordinary, but it’s not enough to completely convince him. He must get more valuable information to confirm his speculation.

The scene manifested by the God Invocation Incense changed, Gong Buhuo tried to covertly probe the residence of Supreme Taoist, perhaps he could find some clues from it.

The blue smoke slowly intertwined, presenting a pond in front of Gong Buhuo’s eyes. Rich spirit energy was constantly emanating from the pond, and a golden light flashed between the images of the pond.

“This is a Natural Spirit Pool!”

Gong Buhuo was a little surprised. To seize the Natural Spirit Pool would mean opposing the entire Dragon Tribe. During the early stages of the Spirit Energy Tidal Surge’s return, it was fine to say that, as not a single Dragon Tribe had revived and anyone with strength could seize it freely.

But once the Four Waterways Dragon Palace returns and investigates all water areas, the disappearance of any Natural Spirit Pool will provoke the enmity of the entire Dragon Tribe.

If the trace of a Natural Spirit Pool is located, even a grotto heavens would have a hard time forcibly retaining the Natural Spirit Pool. Not a single sect alone could contend against the entire Aquatic Tribe.

“Given the Supreme Taoist Brother’s status, seizing a Natural Spirit Pool is not really a big deal.

However, this spirit pool is too small and seems a bit too small, it is simply not enough to…”

Before the words fell, Gong Buhuo saw a pure golden Divine Dragon leaping out of the pond in the blurry picture formed by the condensed blue smoke. It manipulated the clouds and mist to soar.

At its side, a huge seal emerged.

“A True Dragon! The Four Waterways Dragon Seal!”

Gong Buhuo’s throat felt like an invisible hand was strangling it intensely, his turbid eyes trembled continuously as he looked at the scene before his eyes in shock.

The blue smoke of the God Invocation Incense could discern the essence, ordinary things couldn’t hide their appearance, and the one that could appear in the blue smoke must certainly be a True Dragon, and not those mixed-blood Dragon Tribes.

After ten thousand years of the Great Schism, the number of True Dragons of the Dragon Tribe has decreased to a pitiful level, with many big rivers devoid of pure-blooded Dragon Sovereigns.

Under these circumstances, raising a True Dragon is a demonstration of boldness, and it would involve a huge stake.

But the real crux is not this, but the Four Waterways Dragon Seal that hovers around the Divine Dragon is the real focal point. It symbolizes the ancestral lineage of the Dragon Tribe, and there are only four of them under the whole heaven.

“Raising a True Dragon, and using the Four Waterways Dragon Seal as a companion.

Could the Supreme Taoist Brother be planning to get involved in the succession of the Four Waterways Dragon Palace and personally push out a Four Waterways Dragon Sovereign?”

It was hard to imagine, hard to comprehend. Ever since the water tribes replaced each other, the Four Waterways Dragon Palace has been the undisputed king of the world. Throughout the ages, countless forces challenging the Four Waterways Dragon Palace have turned into dry bones in their graves.

Supreme taoist left behind such a legacy, targeting the position of the Four Waterways Dragon Sovereign, causing Gong Buhuo to feel shaken.

Gong Buhuo seemed to faintly glimpse Supreme Taoist’s game plan of a chess strategy arranged throughout the world.

“Wait a second, chess?”

A flash of enlightenment suddenly came to Gong Buhuo’s mind. He seemed to remember that there was a chessboard under that tree.

He hurriedly controlled the changing picture of the blue smoke from the God Invocation Incense, looking in the direction of the chessboard.

At the same time, Shen Yuan, who had finally found a glimmer of insight into refining Incense Avatar, stepped out of the room happily.

Sitting in front of the stone table, Shen Yuan glanced at Life Origin Stone which was still imitating his appearance, casually storing it in the space within his sleeve.

When he retrieved his sleeve, Shen Yuan unintentionally knocked over the black piece on the Heavenly Element Position.

Glancing at the chessboard, Shen Yuan, who found the black pieces a bit monotonous, casually picked up a white piece and slowly placed it on the Heavenly Element Position.

The sky was already dark, and the sparse night sky did not please Shen Yuan.

He slightly shook his head and spoke softly: “Illumination!”

At the next moment, day and night alternated, and a proud sun replaced the dark night sky.

Within Rongcheng’s Fine Jade Grotto Heavens, the scene formed by the blue smoke in front of Gong Buhuo finally froze at this moment.

The white-robed banished immortal held a white piece and fell into a grand position, the night sky changed into a scene of the Great Sun descending.

The white piece that fell was the sun that enveloped the whole world!
