Chapter 313: 269: Emperor Taizong of Tang playing chess!
“Exit the game!”
Real World.
Qingping Mountain.
Xuanqing opens his eyes, awakening from the game.
“Huh?”
Just returning to the real world, he notices… In addition to the pressure between heaven and earth, there is a different sensation, but he couldn’t quite explain what it is.
It inexplicably… gives a feeling of bliss to the heart.
“Immortal Official Seal!”
Xuanqing waves his right hand, offering up his own transformed seal that was once the Immortal Official Document.
Buzz-
In an instant.
The once ordinary sky, in his eyes, becomes different with numerous colored threads covering the entire sky.
“This is…”
Xuanqing’s heart starts, and he emits a divine thought.
Accompanying the divine thought, after covering the entire Great Yan Kingdom, he discovers that wherever a Taoist temple is built, these threads are exceedingly dense.
“Faith Incense Fire!”
“These threads suspended above the Taoist temples are all faith incense fire.”
At this moment.
A warm current coming from the Immortal Official Seal contains a message that once the seal is activated, he can gather all his incense faith within the range of his god soul with a single thought.
Suddenly!
In his mind, a scene from when he was conferred the ‘Secondary First-rank’ Daoist Immortal Officer in the Lingxiao Bao Hall emerges.
“Enjoy the incense of sentient beings, condense the Golden Que Divine Landmark, establish the authority of the Daoist temple…”
“Yes, the Golden Que Divine Landmark… this Immortal Official Seal is the Golden Que Divine Landmark, and by using the authority of the divine landmark, the incense fire within the range of his divine thought can be taken with a single thought!”
Xuanqing’s mind shines, finally understanding.
In other words!
From now on, when he returns to the real world to harvest incense fire, he won’t need to do it manually like before, letting Huai Qingyun do it instead.
As long as he releases his divine thought and uses the Immortal Official Seal, he can instantly collect all the incense fire within the range of his divine thought.
As for his current range of divine thought coverage?
It can basically cover the entire Great Yan Kingdom, and even if he exerts a slight effort, it can expand further to cover the neighboring two East Asian countries.
Not only that.
This ‘Golden Que Divine Landmark’., also called his Immortal Official Seal, not only adds the ability to harvest incense fire with a single thought but also adds many small functions.
For example, enthroning deities, at most can confer Fifth-Rank Daoist Immortals, even after establishing a Taoist temple, all Daoist Immortal Officials above Fifth Rank and below Second Rank can be directly conferred.
Besides enthroning deities, it can also set incense fire ‘draws’.
The so-called draw is… For any deity conferred by Xuanqing, the number of incense fires obtained, how many taxes need to be handed over.
For example.
Xuanqing can now… set a draw of ten taxes on nine for Huai Qingyun. For every ten incense fires harvested, nine of them must be handed over to him.
Many small functions like this are added when promoted to the Standard First rank, transformed from the original Immortal Official Document to the Immortal Official Seal.
“Sigh-”
“No wonder it’s said that only after being promoted to the First Grade will one be counted as a high official in the Heavenly Court, evolving from the original chess piece to the one who controls the chess pieces!”
Xuanqing takes a deep breath, feeling somewhat emotional.
It’s true; those below the First Grade can only follow the rules set by others, while those at First Grade can arbitrarily modify the rules.
Even after establishing a Taoist temple, not only can the rules be arbitrarily modified, but one can also set their own rules for others to follow.
After understanding the Immortal Official Seal.
“Now, let’s try out this function of harvesting incense fire with a single thought!”
Xuanqing stands up.
Immortal Official Seal!
Whoosh-
The perfectly square, divine aura emitting Immortal Official Seal quietly floats in mid-air.
Divine thought covers the entire Great Yan Kingdom.
“Collect!” Xuanqing utters in a low voice.
In an instant.
There is an invisible ripple in the sky of the entire Great Yan Kingdom, and all the colorful faith threads, like being called by something, are instantly separated from the sub-array plates suspended above the Taoist temples.
Then, these faith incense fire detached from the sub-array plates gather in the air, flying in a certain direction.
Moments later.
This immensely vast faith incense fire arrives at Qingping Mountain and crazily pours into the Immortal Official Seal floating in the air.
As Xuanqing uses the Immortal Official Seal to absorb the incense fire of the entire Great Yan Kingdom.
Elsewhere.
In a valley.
Dozens of children dressed in bellybands stand neatly, looking at Huai Qingyun in front of them with respectful gazes.
“The month’s deadline has come. Little ones, when you go to change the incense fire this time, you must not cause any trouble and do not let those cultivators in the cultivation tower notice, understand?”
Huai Qingyun puts his hands behind his back, sweeping his gaze around the children.
“Under…understand- ”
“AI1…0I1.”
“Bi…Big King, I got it.”
Disjointed voices emerge from the mouths of these children dressed in bellybands. Some of them even stutter, stammering as they speak.
However.
Huai Qingyun is very satisfied with this.
At least these little ones can understand what’s being said now. Initially, they could barely understand words, requiring him to train them bit by bit.
Just as he is about to continue speaking.
Suddenly.
Incense fires blanket the sky, flying in a specific direction.
“Thi… thi… thi…”
Huai Qingyun’s pupils suddenly contract.
Moments later.
His face turns pale, and he screams, “Not good, Sir’s incense fire… It
