Chapter 183: Chapter 173: Donghua Rampant Soldiers, Emperor Jun Among the Heavens

Unknowingly, over three months had passed.

During this time, countless plans were proposed by everyone, but all were rejected by Song Lin.

They were either unpresentable or risked exposing secrets.

However, with many hands working together, the flame grew brighter. Finally, someone proposed a suitable plan, though it was something Song Lin had not anticipated.

"Master Ancestor, since you said only groundbreaking theories could garner the Heavenly Emperor’s special attention, why not take it to the extreme and directly establish and organize the Rampant Soldier Method?" Xuu Jingyang suggested.

Song Lin did not mention anything about the Real World, only emphasizing it as a meeting convened by the Heavenly Emperor.

"Can this really work?" Song Lin pondered for a moment.

"Disciple believes it can. Based on the content of the Taoist Method Meeting, the Rampant Soldier Method holds a relatively low status, its lineage is fragmented, and it lacks a strong doctrinal system. If you, Master Ancestor, could consolidate its teachings, you would certainly gain fame across the land."

No one doubted Song Lin’s statements.

The vast and profound content of the Taoist Method Meeting, though theoretical, had already opened their eyes to the immense sea of Taoist Skills, offering numerous inspirations.

"The Rampant Soldier Method, huh?" Song Lin seemed to recall something.

Perhaps it was worth trying.

The Rampant Soldier was widely practiced—almost every Refining Soldier Taoist had some knowledge of it.

The so-called Rampant Soldier represents reckless and omnipresent forces.

Compared to other Taoist Soldier Methods, Rampant Soldiers were fairly weak. Their training methods were simple, but they were difficult to control and lacked progression paths, with their distinctions based solely on quantity.

If a system could be established, it just might propel his reputation to new heights.

"Then it’s decided!" Song Lin made the decision on the spot.

Immediately, a group of people began assisting with the research and organization.

They consisted of six Core Formation cultivators, one Peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, and a prodigy who flourished late in life.

These influential individuals from their world aided him in developing theories. Song Lin was determined to dominate this Divine General’s Meeting.

Of course, Song Lin was still the main driving force behind the research. No one understood the Rampant Soldier Technique better than he did.

Another two years passed.

On this particular day, beside the Lake Heart Pavilion,

Wu Meng successfully broke through to Core Formation, while Song Lin remained inside his cultivation chamber.

Within the chamber, divine light radiated brightly, and the essence was overflowing.

Behind Song Lin, phenomena of heaven and earth manifested, and in his hand, he grasped a golden, shimmering seal.

The seal was ancient and unadorned, perfectly square, about half a palm in size. It was inscribed with patterns of lightning, and at its base were the four archaic characters: "Taiji Thunder Seal."

This was none other than the Taiji Thunder Seal, a top-grade spiritual artifact.

Song Lin had invested great effort in training with this seal.

The Taiji Thunder Seal had other levels, but the higher the level, the greater the summoning limit.

As it stood, this Taiji Thunder Seal could summon a total of five thousand Five Thunders Soldiers unseen in the Real World. Among them, those ranked captain over ten were Yellow Turban Warriors, while captains of a thousand were Yang Thunder Captains.

If he had to face Heluo again, these Rampant Soldiers alone would be enough to bring him to ruin.

As the Taiji Thunder Seal was perfected, the void echoed with rolling thunder.

The brilliance receded, and the essence dissipated.

Song Lin stepped out of the chamber.

As soon as he emerged, he saw a middle-aged Taoist approaching him.

Xuu Jingyang bowed respectfully and said, "Master Ancestor, the Rampant Soldier Method has been fully organized. Please review and refine it."

Xuu Jingyang presented a booklet with both hands.

Song Lin accepted the yellow booklet.

Opening the first page signified a new pinnacle for the Rampant Soldier Dao.

The Rampant Soldiers were no longer bandits in the eyes of orthodox Taoist Soldiers but a genuine system with a path for advancement.

As the founder of this system, Song Lin felt a surge of excitement.

Although it was merely laying the foundation, in the future, it could potentially rise to unimaginable heights.

The entire theory was based on the hierarchy of the Three Official Divine Generals, with Rampant Soldiers as the foundation, Water Technique as the basis for refining soldiers, Thunder Skill as the framework for advancement, and a step-by-step progression culminating in the highest rank of the Heavenly Official Divine General.

According to the theory, Heavenly Official Divine Generals were on par with Heavenly Masters, though this was only a hypothesis and might not materialize in the future.

Nevertheless, with the introduction of this theory, cultivators aspiring to delve deeper into the Rampant Soldier Dao would have no choice but to submit themselves under his tutelage.

While Song Lin was engrossed in reading, others had, unwittingly, gathered around him.

"Master Ancestor, please bestow a name upon it."

"Let it be called the Donghua Rampant Soldier Method."

Within the Taoist Soldier lineage, Rampant Soldiers were considered a minor branch. To call it a Taoist Soldier Method outright would feel overly grandiose and prone to ridicule.

By performing a major overhaul on a minor discipline without encroaching on others’ interests, it was undoubtedly the most advantageous route.

With this in mind, Song Lin put the booklet away.

From then on, he focused on cultivating in secret.

Xuu Jingyang, who had a keen interest in Constant Number Theory, shared a similar perspective to Song Lin. He believed that human fate was not predetermined, but his limited Taoist Realm left him unable to find evidence to refute the prevailing views.

Song Lin simply let him be.

For this historically renowned cultivator, he still held significant hopes.

The group secluded themselves in cultivation for over a decade.

This time, their stay in the Heavenly Emperor’s Secret Realm was longer than usual, lasting nearly thirty years.

Meanwhile, the external dynasties remained largely unchanged.

In a world with cultivators, where even emperors could cultivate, the lifespan of a dynasty easily extended beyond a thousand years.

Currently, it had been just over four hundred years, during a peak period of prosperity.

While Song Lin and the others were in cultivation, the Undying Pill World Emperor once again summoned the gods for a banquet.

In a celestial Immortal Realm filled with floating immortal energy, White Cranes and phoenix birds danced together, while unknown avian species and Divine Beasts resided beneath trees of fragrant orchids and jade.

Celestial music played endlessly in the palace, lingering for three days.

The source of the music was a Divine Dragon.

The Divine Officer rode the dragon as it soared across the Nine Heavens, summoning winds that produced bell-like chimes. The Yellow-Eel Divine Officer struck its tail against its belly, while phoenix birds raised their voices in melodious song.

The serene and enchanting music lifted the spirits.

This was the piece "Chengyun," created by Emperor Zhuanxu and later passed down to the current Heavenly Emperor, becoming a standard melody for banquets.

Whenever this music was played, the Eight Winds surged, and the hundred birds sang in chorus, signaling to the gods that a meeting was about to commence.

Among the banquet attendees were countless Feathered People and extraordinary beings with emerald eyes and bird-like feet, weaving in and out of the crowd.

The Heavenly Emperor appeared relatively ordinary, merely an old human man leaning on a cane. However, the gods who surrounded him were far more peculiar.

Some stood on serpents, others had human heads with beast bodies, and some spewed fire and mist... These were the gods of the Four Seasons and the Twelve Months.

After Emperor Jun destroyed the world, countless eons passed, and it was the current Heavenly Emperor, Emperor Yann, who reopened the cycles of earth, water, fire, and wind. Emperor Yann also dispatched Zhuu Rong and other deities to harmonize Yin and Yang, repairing the celestial canopy, thereby creating a new world.

During the era of the Wilderness, Emperor Yann sent Song Lin to descend into the Mortal World.

At that moment, everyone gazed at the Mortal World’s happenings through a mirror, where thousands of years of events flashed by in an instant. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm

"Haha, this boy really knows how to make things happen," the Summer God clad in fiery red, Zhuu, laughed heartily.

"Two more are still missing. Should we bring him up in the future?" the Spring God dryly remarked.

"If we don’t bring him up soon, the Human Clan will forget our grace entirely. What gives Song Lin the audacity to claim himself as the sun?"

The Heavenly Emperor smiled faintly and said, "Grace? We, too, have merely inherited Emperor Jun’s grace. Do we not call ourselves Heavenly Emperor and gods as well?"

The grace that gave rise to heaven and earth was Taiyi; no other being could speak of grace.

Before the Primordial Chaos was opened, Taiyi birthed water, and the water nourished Taiyi, thereby creating heaven and earth. From this, the first Heavenly Emperor was born and became the emperor of all heavens, known to the world as Emperor Jun.

"Jun" signifies the pinnacle, the one who stands at the zenith as the Heavenly Emperor.

His true name remains unknown. Some say he was the personified manifestation of Taiyi, the origin of the world. Others claim he was Fu Xi. The stories are numerous, and the truth is unclear.

Still, Emperor Jun’s achievements cannot be erased.

Neither Emperor Ku nor Zhuanxu held a candle to him; they were but juniors in comparison.

"Are we truly going to let him become the sun? Moreover, there has never been a precedent of a human ascending to this seat..."

"From today, the precedent begins! The future belongs to the later generations," Emperor Yann suddenly interjected.

"Furthermore... Emperor Jun is about to enter eternal slumber. We Heavenly Emperors, too, may soon have to take our eternal rest in the Undying Country. You must harmonize with the Four Seasons and the Twelve Months. The future world shall be entrusted to new gods!"

"Understood!"

Among the Twelve Gods of the Four Seasons, some harbored dissatisfaction in their hearts.

Harmonization meant becoming one with the rules, achieving immortality but losing all individuality. What meaning was there in such an eternal existence?

Emperor Yann was well aware of the attitude of certain deities.

This was to be humanity’s calamity.

The future catastrophe would be left to the new gods of tomorrow!
