Innate Saint …
I was dazed for a moment before I reacted. This was my Celestial Master's seal.
All of my worries were put to rest at this moment. The result was even better than what I had expected. Not only was my word count no lower than Lu Zhenyang's, the meaning of my words was even better than his.
"Heaven" was the supreme being.
As for life, it was written in the Book of Rites and Fortune, "A man lives freely, but lives unrestrainedly." This was used to distinguish the difference between people.
After that, the word 'Saint', when taken apart, was interlinked with the word 'Heavenly', meaning that the Saint was the Heavens.
Man is the heart of heaven and earth, the end of the five elements, the taste of food, sound, and beauty.
Birds, beasts, insects, and trees are all born of the Heaven and Earth, but cannot be the heart of the Heaven and Earth. Only man is the heart of the Heaven and Earth.
Therefore, everything in the world is extremely precious.
The Heart of Heaven and Earth was also known as Man, and it could harmonize with Heaven and Earth. The Heart of Fruit was also known as Man, and it could resurrect the Black Tree and turn it into a fruit.
They were all small, yet they contained the whole.
Therefore, Heaven is a saint, and life is a human.
I cultivate the Dao and Shaman Qi. Now that I have become a Celestial Master, the Dao and Shaman Qi are both perfected. The Celestial Master Vital Essence is a combination of the Dao and Shaman Qi. The Celestial Master Seal is also a combination of the Dao and Shaman Qi.
Therefore, the four words' Innate Saint 'were half made from Daoist Qi and the other half from Shaman Qi.
After a short moment, the four words formed by the ten-colored light scattered and gathered above my head, forming a seal.
I didn't directly store it in my body. Instead, I extended my hand to take it down and observed it.
The seal was three inches long, just like Officer Wang's seal. But the difference was that my seal wasn't milky white. It had two colors, half of which was black and the other half was milky white. In the middle of the seal, there was a clear dividing line.
I turned the seal over and looked at the writing underneath.
Similarly, the bottom of the seal was also black and white. On the left side, the word "Tiansheng" was milky white, and on the right side, the word "Sage" was thick black.
A very long time ago, when I saw Tai Sui's corpse transform into a Dragon Vein at the underground Dragon Vein in Shenzhen, I knew that while the Daoist and Shaman Qi seemed to be completely different, they were actually of the same origin.
Now that he saw my seal, he understood this logic even more clearly.
'Innate' was' Saint ', and' Saint 'was' Innate '.
Even though there was a clear distinction between black and white, the meaning of each word was exactly the same.
However, this distinct black and white seal made me recall the time when I was in Glory of Consciousness. In that illusion, I had crossed the river and brought darkness to the world.
Since black and white were of the same origin, why were they so frightened?
I remembered their kowtow, the way they cut their bodies with knives and used their blood to worship.
I suddenly understood. Although black and white came from the same source, people were ignorant. How could they understand?
Just like the people in the illusion, they could only look at the darkness in the distance in fear. They could only pray and sacrifice their lives to the heavens so that they could stay in the daylight.
But he didn't know that the so-called night and day were only the two sides of my body.
At that time, I thought that I was the darkness, but now I understand that was not the case. Behind me was the darkness, and in front of me was the day.
Everyone in the illusory world was afraid of being swallowed by the darkness behind me. They hated me, but they didn't know that the reason they were in the daytime was because I was facing them. If I turned around, black would become white, and white would become black!
Therefore, there were only two ways to get rid of those people's hatred.
The first way was that I couldn't separate black and white with my body. Instead, I had to merge the black and white into one. If the black and white were no longer distinct, there would be no concept of black and white, and naturally, there would be no hatred.
The black and white were the two Qi of witchcraft in my body. The terrified people were the people in the metaphysics world who wanted to kill me.
The two Qi of witchcraft and witchcraft were deeply planted in my body. I couldn't give up on either of them. Only one day, when I could merge the Qi of witchcraft and Qi of Dao into one, those people might not treat me as an anomaly.
Other than that, there was another way.
Back in the illusion, there was a rainbow light on the other side of the river. There was an old man in the rainbow light.
The ignorant people prayed to him because they were afraid of the darkness. They sacrificed their lives and blood.
If I replaced the old man and let the people know that regardless of day or night, they were all bestowed by me. They would kneel and serve me, begging for my bestowment. Similarly, there would be no hatred.
By then, even if I shrouded them in the darkness, they could only crawl on the ground and endure everything in silence.
I didn't know who the old man was, but I knew that it was impossible for me to replace the old man with my current cultivation.
Not to mention anything else, I wasn't a match for the ten Celestial Masters who had besieged me in the back mountain of the metaphysics world. If I wanted to replace the old man, I would have to wait until my cultivation reached the peak.
No matter what method I used, it was still too far away for me. Only by diligently cultivating could I plan for the future.
I shook my head and put these thoughts aside for the time being. With a slight thought, I put the seal back into my body. Then, my body slowly floated down to the ground.
After my Celestial Master seal had condensed, the blood fog had reappeared and covered the entire War God Mountain.
So, when I was close to the ground, I could see clearly that among the people standing under the high platform, Officer Wang, the fat father and son, Ah Fu, Ah Shou, and several others were kneeling on the ground. They raised their heads and looked at me.
Seeing them like that, I suddenly recalled what Officer Wang had told me.
The Nine Cauldrons Clan's duty was to guard the Sages. They were the servants of the Sages. Since I had the word 'Sage' in my Celestial Master seal, it was obvious that they had recognized me as a Sage.
In fact, they weren't the only ones who thought so. After listening to Officer Wang's words about the so-called 'Sage', I also had my doubts. However, when I saw the Wang family's great power, I felt that it was unimaginable. So, I denied it.
But after condensing the seal, I realized that this kind of thinking wasn't that unimaginable.
The Nine Cauldrons Clan had the word 'Sage' in their seal, so there must be a connection between them. Most importantly, the Nine Cauldrons Clan was the only cultivators in the world who cultivated sorcery energy. There was an inexplicable connection between me and sorcery energy. From this, I could infer that the Sage wasn't a fantasy.
After I landed on the ground, I didn't wait for Officer Wang's voice to ring out.
"Long live the Sage! Holy Spirit Guard Wang Can greets the Sage!"
After saying that, he bent down and kowtowed continuously.
The rest of the people also said, "Greetings to the Sage!" Then, they kowtowed together.
Although I had begun to accept this explanation, I still felt uncomfortable when I saw Officer Wang, who had been talking and laughing with me, kneel down and Lin Acheng, who I had regarded as an elder, kowtowed.
I said, "Although my seal has the word 'Sage' in it, it's still unclear whether I'm the Sage that Brother Wang mentioned. Brother Wang, you don't have to bow to me."
As soon as I said that, Officer replied excitedly, "Reporting to the Sage, when you condensed the seal, the bloodline of the Nine Cauldrons Clan clearly transmitted the message of the Sage's arrival. This is the bloodline memory inherited from the Antiquity Antiquity. There's no need to identify it. You are the Sage!"
I was shaken. This time, I didn't doubt him anymore. The saint he was talking about was really me!
After Officer Wang said that, he still looked excited. He bent down and continued to kowtow. After he had kowtowed nine times, he got up and said respectfully, "I didn't know the Sage's identity before. Please punish me for my rudeness."
I was extremely embarrassed. After a moment of silence, I tried to adapt to my current identity. I shook my head and said, "You don't have to do that. Wang … Can, you are the commander of the Holy Spirit Guard and an old friend of mine. Just treat me as an elder brother."
Officer Wang hesitated and didn't agree. I urged him a few times before he finally agreed. He raised his head and looked at me, smiling cautiously.
Although he had agreed to treat me as an elder brother, he didn't change the way he addressed me. He insisted on not calling me Brother Zhou. He said that if he called me anything else, it would be a blasphemy against the Sage and against the Wang family's rules.
I had no choice but to let him do as he pleased.
After talking to Officer Wang, I turned to talk to the fat man and his son.
Compared to Officer Wang, I was more embarrassed when facing them. One was my childhood playmate, while the other was my neighbor's uncle. It was hard for me to adapt to this change in identity.
However, with Officer Wang as an example, the two followed suit. They didn't kneel but insisted on addressing me as an elder brother.
After dealing with this matter, I raised my head and looked at Lu Zhenyang, who wasn't far from me.
After receiving Chiyou's inheritance, the hatred in Lu Zhenyang's eyes had decreased a lot. It seemed he didn't put me in his eyes anymore.
But this time, when our eyes met, Lu Zhenyang's eyes glowed with red light. The resentment in his eyes was even thicker than before.
I understood that Lu Zhenyang had sensed the threat and was afraid of me.
Although Chiyou's inheritance was powerful, my 'Inborn Saint' seal and the Wang family's attitude towards me were more threatening than the sense of security that Chiyou's inheritance had given him.
I smiled and moved my eyes away from him. I turned around and called the fat man. "There's only one door left. Don't delay. Hurry up and get in."
The fat man nodded and cupped his hands to greet me. Then, he walked to the high platform.
Every time someone entered the previous blood doors, they had to follow Lu Zhenyang's instructions. It was the same for me when I entered.
But now, I didn't even look at him and directly arranged things.
It was true that Lu Zhenyang had the Blood Spirit Guards, but they couldn't do anything to us. Moreover, the Wang family's reinforcements would arrive soon. After Chiyou's inheritance was over, the Blood Spirit Guards wouldn't stay for long. That was why I didn't care about him anymore.
