Chapter 481 - 334: Nameless Surname on the Ancestor God Tablet, Green Emperor Suddenly Employs a Beauty Trick
"Such a divine treasure!"
"Wonderful artifacts!"
Before Green Jade Square, all the cultivator heroes couldn't help but utter their admiration subconsciously.
It must be known that nearly all the individuals gathered here were not weak; none was without a significant background. Their divine power and insightful eyes were far from ordinary.
None of them could see anything amiss with the divine tablet, no matter how they perceived it, they could only sense a terrifying, abyss-like presence.
Looking at the extraordinary benefits that were immediately apparent, they all instantly believed Ying Qingdi's words.
It was at this moment that Ying Qingdi's voice came again.
"Fellow brothers, this divine tablet is not owned by me alone."
"It came into being because of the first rebellion initiated by the Ancestor Dragon Society, and naturally belongs to all members of the Ancestor Dragon Society."
"I suppose the fellow brothers have already experienced the divine mysteries of this tablet, but this is just the tip of the iceberg."
"There are blanks on this tablet where names can be inscribed."
"Once a name is placed upon the divine tablet, one will immediately commune with the divine, benefiting from myriad marvels; all devils cannot invade, and one will have the support of Human Dao's fortune, free from disasters and difficulties."
"This explanation might not be clear enough, so let me, Ying Qingdi, serve as an example. Currently, I am in the Perfection of Cavernous Mystery state, and if the name 'Ying Qingdi' were to be engraved upon it."
"Within three days, I will ascend to the Ultimate Happiness Realm!"
"Hiss"
Without any suspense, as soon as Ying Qingdi finished speaking, while everyone fell into amazement, their faces showed a fervent eagerness.
Some with naturally less benevolent characters now had greedy eyes.
And others who were impatient immediately planned to rush forward, wielding knives and swords, aiming to carve their own mundane names on the bronze tablet.
It's not surprising that the cultivators reacted this way as the benefits were just too astonishing.
Any cultivator, whether a Daoist disciple, a bald-headed monk from the Buddhist Sect, or practitioners of heresy and heterodoxy, demons of alien species, and so on, could not hold back.
Just considering the benefit of "free from disasters and difficulties," even Tao Qian, the sole disciple and the Spirit Treasure True Inheritor of Duobao, was immediately moved.
Not to mention Ying Qingdi, who even used himself as an example.
In an instant, nearly all the immortals, demons, and cultivator heroes felt that participating in the New Moon rebellion and the uprising of the Ancestor Dragon was a highly profitable deal.
However, it was very unfortunate that a huge bucket of cold water was soon poured over their excitement.
It was still Ying Qingdi who bluntly said,
"Fellow brothers should know, this tablet is a divine object; no matter how precious your treasures are, divine knives or demon swords, if they are not recognized, they cannot leave the slightest mark upon it."
"If they are recognized, a mere touch with a flesh finger can cause bronze fragments to fly, leaving behind one's own name."
"As for how to gain recognition from the divine object?"
"It's quite simple, the tadpole script already makes it clear: by slaying demons, exterminating devils, and protecting all people."
"I reckon that as long as tomorrow's New Moon rebellion succeeds, any brother who has made sufficient contributions can come here to write their name."
"Right now, I'm afraid no one is qualified, not even I, Ying Qingdi."
"If there are brothers who don't believe it, they may come forward and try."
Cultivators, many don't believe in curses.
Seeing such an incomprehensible divine object that could greatly assist their cultivation, how could they resist?
As soon as Ying Qingdi finished speaking, immediately figures began flashing, and at least a dozen moved to take action.
A Daoist disciple was the first to move; he spat out a sword elixir that ground upon the tablet. Sharp sword Qi surged, but not even a white mark could be left on the tablet; by his side, a high monk who cultivated a certain divine power from the Vajra Temple, with a finger capable of breaking divine weapons, pressed it on the bronze divine tablet, but regardless of how much effort, he failed to leave any mark.
A demon cultivator came forward, trying in vain to corrode with Poison Water Demon Ointment; a devil general forced his way through, his naturally sharp claws scraping against the tablet, but the divine tablet remained unmoved.
Towards the end, even one of the four Devil Goddesses made an attempt, taking out a weapon similar to the "Heavenly Demon Blood Slaughter Divine Needle," trying to etch her name one stroke at a time; unfortunately, despite the surge of blood light, not even the first stroke could be made.
After much commotion, no one doubted Ying Qingdi anymore.
Indeed, it made more sense this way!
In this world of cultivation, there is no such thing as a pie falling from the sky, the Ancestor God Tablet's power was so incredible, it couldn't be easily obtained by anyone.
If adding the prerequisite of successfully launching the rebellion and protecting tens of millions of civilians, it immediately became entirely convincing.
Seeing everyone greatly moved and stirred, Ying Qingdi spoke at the right moment, proclaiming:
"Fellow brothers, the hour has arrived."
"Let's not delay any longer, let's leave Hidden Dragon Mountain, and at this time tomorrow, upon the signal, the whole province will rise up."
"The lives and hopes of tens of millions in New Moon rest in the hands of the fellow brothers."
"Green Emperor, I thank all of you."
Every word of these few sentences seemed to come from the bottom of Ying Qingdi's heart.
Naturally, it also had an extraordinary appeal.
With this bow completed, the entire hall of heroes returned the gesture with equal enthusiasm and promises, then each transformed into streaks of evasion light and left Hidden Dragon Mountain.
They went to the territories already agreed upon, ready for the upcoming New Moon rebellion.
"Leader, rest assured, the uprising will surely succeed."
"The Seven Evils shall be slain, the alchemists annihilated, and our Ancestor Dragon Society will surely succeed."
"I am also a person of New Moon, how can I not risk my life?"
"As long as it can save tens of millions, my name need not be left on that stone tablet."
"I shall depart, gentlemen, tomorrow at this time, let us unite to exterminate the evil demons."
One by one, heroes and cultivators, immortals and demons, left their fervent words behind and all together vanished from Hidden Dragon Mountain.
A widespread rebellion across the whole province of New Moon is set to launch simultaneously tomorrow.
Tao Qian had previously defeated four Cavernous Mystery Cultivators and made headlines, but soon the focus on the mountain shifted to Ying Qingdi.
He effortlessly took over the reins of leadership, first revealing his extraordinary background, then summoning the "Ancestor God Tablet" from the Outer Realm, and finally assuming the posture of a compassionate reformist hero. In just a few breaths' time, he won over everyone except for the ten, including Tao Qian, who had accidentally glimpsed his true face.
"Enticing external allies like Yin Susu and Xu Wenkai with potential gains, then with lofty ideals, enticing true reformist heroes to die for the cause."
"This fiend is indeed a capable hawkish figure."
Tao Qian lamented inwardly, but knew there was nothing he could do at the moment.
On the contrary, the ten of them had to fully support Ying Qingdi and left the Ancestor Dragon Hall to begin their preparations diligently.
...
The chaos previously seen in Green Jade Square might easily lead one to believe that the Ancestor Dragon Society was a casual association of bandits gathering to rebel.
Of course, that wasn't the case. Tao Qian, once appointed as the Grain and Grass Officer, immediately arranged for a dozen subordinates to serve under him and was about to be taken to an important territory within the Ancestor Dragon Society.
Despite all members of the Ancestor Dragon Society being cultivators, there were only a few hundred, insufficient to seize the whole province of New Moon.
This province's territory, after all, was vast.
The real force behind the uprising was these few hundred representing members, each controlling their own unit of the rebel army.
And for the rebel army to move, they required not only the ordinary rations of mortals but also a large amount of the essence of the Five Grains, Elixirs to replenish marrow and enhance vitality, Medicine Ointments for bone healing and flesh regeneration, spirit powder for detoxification and miasma clearing, among others.
Such provisions were beyond the reach of common powers.
But the Ancestor Dragon Society, with the support of many major powers including Beichan Temple and Xuan Dao Sect, was entirely different.
Now, the territories under Tao Qian's jurisdiction totaled three.
Namely: Demon Trap Pit, Ten Thousand Meat Field, and Immortal Ganoderma Forest.
The latter two did not require Tao Qian's attention as they were provided by the two major Daoist and Buddhist sects of New Moon Province and were managed by their dispatched cultivators.
Tao Qian's task was to use the "Valley God Gui" to refine the mountainous heaps of demon corpses accumulated in the Demon Trap Pit to supply the entire province's rebel army.
He originally planned to depart early to that territory.
But before he could set out, he was stopped in his room by Ying Qingdi.
Without pleasantries, Ying Qingdi grabbed Tao Qian, bowed apologetically, and helplessly said:
"The conflict that occurred in the hall just now did put Brother Lin at some disadvantage."
"I've already spoken with Yin Susu, Xu Wenkai, Zheng Zhongxiong, and Xiao Ling'er. All four have assured there will be no grudges and compensation for Brother Lin afterward."
"If Brother Lin harbors any resentment, blame me, Ying Qingdi. As the leader, it indeed was my fault for failing to maintain order within the society."
"I only hope that Brother Lin can set aside his concerns for now, and when the reform succeeds, the first name on the Ancestor God Tablet should be 'Lin Runiu'."
Hearing this, Tao Qian felt nauseated.
However, externally, he earnestly entertained Ying Qingdi, careful not to reveal the slightest flaw.
The two exchanged pleasantries hypocritically, convincingly playing their parts.
Not until after some time did Tao Qian, unable to bear it any longer, gently remind him, prompting Ying Qingdi to finally wrap up his rambling speech.
He then called in a Yellow Robed Eunuch and gave a command.
Shortly after, a Yellow Robed Slave actually brought back a woman.
The moment the woman stepped into Tao Qian's room, he froze, surprise and admiration shining in his eyes.
She wore a flowing green robe, her hair pinned with a wooden hairpin, her graceful figure barely concealed by the loose clothing, especially her chest, as broad as Master Xiao. Her face, cool yet subtly seductive, and her eyes, mature, wise, and gentle, were most captivating.
Any person locking eyes with her would find it hard to look away.
But after the first glance, Tao Qian immediately sensed something amiss.
Why?
Bizarrely, he saw reflections and traces of many people he knew on this woman.
"Senior Sister Lingji, Master Xiao, Aunt Bai Yin, Aunt Yunhua, Sister Yunrong... What an odd mixture," he thought.
Startled inside,
Yuan Gong, without caring that Ying Qingdi was still in the room, directly mocked Tao Qian telepathically.
"Ha, ha, ha!
"Lucky you, little guy. This little scoundrel sure knows how to play, subtly using evil techniques to capture your desires, and in such a short time, specially created this beautiful woman just for you."
"Her features, her figure, tsk tsk, truly the quintessence of beauty, perfectly matching your preferences."
"What do you think? Can you resist her?"
