CHAPTER 939: CHAPTER 708: IMPERIAL DECREE (PART 2)

"Xuan Yuezi, concern leads to chaos. There’s no request for assistance in the Feihua message from Taiyi, which means Taiyi doesn’t need our help for now. Now, sending the heavily injured Dao friend Feiyunzi here clearly indicates he hopes we can use the Power of Incense in this world to heal him."

At this moment, a dignified, mature, gentle, and virtuous woman approached with a smile. Her voice was soft, making one feel as if bathed in the warmth of spring.

This woman was none other than the recently resurrected Miao Huizi.

"What Senior Sister said is reasonable. The most important thing now is to aid Dao friend Feiyunzi. He is too severely wounded and is almost beyond healing. The only thing that can save him is the Power of Incense in this realm."

Xiang Xiangzi also spoke from the side, then she retrieved a Holy Decree from her Storage Magical Artifact.

The Holy Decree was blank, but it bore the seal of Emperor Shenwu, with eight large characters: Mandated by Heaven, Long-lasting and Prosperous.

"This is the Holy Decree given to me by Emperor Shenwu, which can be used to confer the position of True God, enjoying the incense of all people. I will now designate Feiyunzi as the Mountain God of Dao Mountain, thus he can re-gather incense and restore his Primordial Spirit."

Xiang Xiangzi transformed her mana into a brush, and swiftly began to write on the Holy Decree.

By the imperial mandate, the Emperor decrees: Cultivator Feiyunzi, for safeguarding the nation, is today appointed as Mountain God of Dao Mountain, enjoying earthly incense, thus decreed.

A simple Holy Decree, though it seems trivial, is accepted by this world because it is stamped with Emperor Shenwu’s seal.

As soon as the writing was completed.

In the surrounding world, wind and clouds surged instantly, and streams of Power of Incense gathered towards Feiyunzi.

The position of Mountain God of Dao Mountain isn’t small, able to enjoy much incense, especially after Li Yi shattered mountains and rebuilt the world, each divine position became extremely precious. If Xiang Xiangzi hadn’t used the title of Dual Cultivation Couple to request from Emperor Shenwu, he wouldn’t have been so generous to bestow Xiang Xiangzi with a blank Holy Decree.

"This is..." Feiyunzi felt the Power of Incense gathering.

This force was something never seen before, wondrous and extraordinary.

His dispersed Primordial Spirit began to recover at an incredible speed, and the residual demonic power within him was washed away by the Incense Fire Belief Power, instantly disappearing. Moreover, his wilting Primordial Spirit Flower began to bloom again.

However, the petals blooming were not crystal clear but were white.

This is the power constructed by Incense Fire Belief Power. If he leaves this world, or if the incense collapses, Feiyunzi will be stripped of power immediately, reverting to his original form.

"Feiyunzi, you truly obtained an opportunity and fortune. Taiyi has always been generous. Since you fought alongside him against the Great Demon, he surely won’t let you suffer. Since he is willing to send you to a world to become an Incense Fire God, he surely wishes you to occupy a divine position and enjoy the offering of incense from across the world."

Xiang Xiangzi said with a smile: "Take good care of and feel the Power of Incense. Once your condition stabilizes, you can then use temporary cultivation to restore your strength. But before that, understand how to properly be an Incense Fire God."

She then briefly explained the duties of an Incense Fire God.

An Incense Fire God must regularly manifest his divine presence; otherwise, even with a court-appointed divine position, the incense gathered won’t be much.

Even figures like Xiang Xiangzi and Xuan Yuezi, both Immortals, occasionally have to go out, make clouds and rain, ward off disasters, and even build bridges or move mountains to benefit the masses.

Only then will the incense be continuous.

"I see..." Feiyunzi nodded, feeling extremely curious about this world.

What a unique world it was.

No need for cultivation; merely using the Power of Incense one could achieve immortality.

"Thank you, Immortal, for your guidance. I will immediately establish the Mountain God Temple and bless the pilgrims at Dao Mountain. Once my abilities are restored, someday I will serve Taiyi."

Having understood, he immediately bowed and then swiftly took action, flying off Dao Mountain’s peak, ready to select a spot to build a temple and erect a Divine Statue.

After all, the sooner incense is gathered, the sooner cultivation can be restored.

As for blessing, that’s even simpler, removing ailments from those who pray to the Mountain God, granting dreams with guidance, occasionally manifesting to rescue... these were things many cultivators traveling the mortal world often did; it’s truly trivial.

"Xiang Xiangzi, you’re so biased, giving Feiyunzi a divine position to enjoy incense, why not give me one as well?" At this moment, Divine Lady Yun spoke with a hint of envy, wanting to become a god in this world and enjoy the incense offerings.

Xiang Xiangzi’s beautiful eyes turned, and she said with a smile: "The seat of the Seven Immortals under Master Taiyi only has me, Xuan Yuezi, and Senior Sister Miao Huizi now. Heavenly Dao Sect has fallen; why doesn’t the Goddess fill this vacancy? Then the incense offerings the goddess enjoys would far surpass that of a Mountain God by countless times."

"I, as the goddess, am already in name only; I am willing to fill the position of Seven Immortals." Divine Lady Yun immediately agreed.

"Goddess, think it over." Beside her, Xuan Yuezi couldn’t help but speak: "Don’t listen to Xiang Xiangzi’s nonsense. There’s no such thing as the Seven Immortals under Master Taiyi; it’s her own fabrication. Those incense fire statues are all swindled from Emperor Shenwu by Xiang Xiangzi using the name of Dual Cultivation Couple with the Taixi State Preceptor. Once Taiyi knows this, how will you explain yourselves?"

"What’s there to explain? Dual cultivation with Taiyi would definitely be a delightful experience; I wish for it." Xiang Xiangzi laughed playfully: "Xuan Yuezi, if Taiyi seeks you for dual cultivation, how would you refuse? You should know, having enjoyed the incense benefits brought by the name of Taiyi Dao Companion, you must acknowledge it at the time."

Xuan Yuezi’s face, usually cold, instantly flushed red.

"Uh?" At this moment, Divine Lady Yun was dumbfounded, never imagining there were such secrets involved.

Upon hearing this, even Miao Huizi couldn’t help but blush.

She had just been resurrected not long ago, and Xiang Xiangzi had already sold her as a Dao Companion to that yet unseen Taiyi.

"Nonsense." Miao Huizi reprimanded lightly.

Xiang Xiangzi, however, laughed softly, unconcerned: "I’m doing this for your good, don’t waste my good intentions. At worst, I’ll be the lesser wife, you’ll be the greater. After a lifetime of peaceful cultivation, can’t we enjoy ourselves a little? By the way, would you like me to teach you a few dual cultivation techniques today? I’ve studied them deeply."

Listening to these audacious words, everyone couldn’t help but blush.
