My construction materials are weird

"Fellow Daoist, please rest assured, we firmly support you and will not change our views because of rumors. Please be at ease about this."

The Corpse Retriever didn't understand Xuan Huang's thoughts and emphasized his attitude.

This statement made Xuan Huang not know whether to laugh or cry. He even had to thank them, regardless of whether they were genuinely ignorant or pretending to be confused.

"Thank you for your trust. I can clearly tell you that I am human and never a creature from the Ruins of Return... You can think of it as me being lucky enough to accidentally enter the Ruins of Return, where I had a stroke of good fortune and turned misfortune into blessing, achieving a little success."

Xuan Huang said these words to the Corpse Retriever.

Regardless, if he didn't reveal anything, they would speculate even more.

Rather than that, he might as well tell a 'benevolent lie' to prevent them from guessing wildly.

"So that's how it is!"

The Corpse Retriever's turbid eyes suddenly sparkled.

Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang finally revealed some secrets to them.

Whether he was human or not was beside the point. The fact that he had obtained some opportunities in the Ruins of Return was enough.

Moreover, it made sense that he was human. There was always a glimmer of hope in everything, which everyone acknowledged.

In the Ruins of Return, the final destination of all things, there was a touch of vibrant color. What was impossible about that?

"As for creating techniques, there's nothing magical about it. I just happened to have a talent for it, coupled with a little bit of luck. It looks good now, but it might not be the case later, Fellow Daoist, you understand?" Xuan Huang added.

"Understood, I understand, I understand," the Corpse Retriever quickly nodded.

Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang's meaning was very clear. He had indeed obtained 'some techniques,' and with his talent and intelligence, he had achieved his current success.

But he also said that it wouldn't work later.

For example, after the Fourth Order True Self, it wouldn't work, and he would need to explore on his own.

This was the Corpse Retriever's understanding.

Xuan Huang wasn't lying. Currently, the Super Self state was the perception of the Third Order, but who could guarantee that after the Seventh Order True Spirit, he could maintain the current rate of iteration?

Xuan Huang said at the end, not knowing whether it was a complaint or sincere words.

It sounded a bit melancholic, at least that's how the Corpse Retriever felt.

He felt that Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang was under great pressure from everyone's attention and didn't want everyone to value him so much.

He could understand this state, and he thought Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang must be under great pressure.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang, please rest assured, I will convey this and definitely bring your meaning back."

The Corpse Retriever replied with great importance.

He felt Xuan Huang's heavy entrustment.

"However, Fellow Daoist, the title of Teacher of the Human Race is still worthy, which was decided by the adults of the Two Temples of Literature and Martial Arts. I think it suits Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang very well."

The Corpse Retriever said to Xuan Huang.

This title had to be given. With this title, some villains would not dare to be careless. This was a public statement from the two top-level realms.

Provoking this was equivalent to provoking the Two Temples of Literature and Martial Arts.

"Whatever!"

Xuan Huang had no reason to refuse.

Regardless, people came up with it for his own good, and it was not good to rashly refuse to accept it.

Moreover, accepting it would not do him any harm, and there were some benefits.

For example, the rise of luck, the luck belonging to the human race was added to Xuan Huang's body. The title of Human Teacher was still very strong.

Moreover, the conferment was from the two top-level realms, similar to the effect of words becoming law.

At this moment, Xuan Huang seemed to understand.

The sacredness of the Two Temples of Literature and Martial Arts also had this arrangement, not only verbal support but also definite benefits.

For example, his enhanced luck.

If he weren't in the Myriad Spirits Palace, covering up the rise of luck, if he were outside, he would see Xuan Huang's luck completely transform into a dragon at this moment.

From the state of clouds and mist, it transformed into a roaring giant dragon.

The previous clouds and mist surrounded the Spirit Suppressing Tablet. At this moment, after transforming into a dragon, it was like gnarled roots clinging to the Spirit Suppressing Tablet, and faintly visible, there were chaotic runes flashing, appearing on the body of the Dragon of Luck.

Adding a sense of majesty and vastness.

"Fellow Daoist has great divine powers and good treasures. I admire you, I admire you."

The Corpse Retriever, who hadn't noticed the movement for a while, saw Xuan Huang suddenly shake inexplicably and knew that the benefits had been obtained.

He originally thought he would see Daoist Xuan Huang's luck soaring, turning into auspicious clouds, but it didn't happen.

Only then did he remember that this was inside a Fifth Order Supreme Treasure, which must have been concealed by this treasure.

While regretting it secretly, it also aroused more exclamations.

Daoist Xuan Huang's palace was a Fifth Order Supreme artifact. This time, he had witnessed it.

It could also be confirmed that it was real.

When Xuan Huang's Myriad Spirits Palace appeared, it shocked the creatures of the realm, but it was not easy to ask about it.

This was very reckless and might even be guarded against by Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang.

Putting himself in his shoes, if he had a treasure and others immediately came to say they wanted to take a look, he would also think too much.

Therefore, they all held a skeptical attitude.

Now, the Corpse Retriever was sure that it was a Supreme Venerable artifact, too magical.

"Haha, just good luck."

Xuan Huang understood what the Corpse Retriever wanted to express.

It was also a topic that was not good to delve into, so he could only politely gloss over it.

"The Two Temples of Literature and Martial Arts have invested heavily, and we Venerables admire it. Fellow Daoist also knows the role of luck, so I won't say more... I have achieved the purpose of my visit here. Before leaving, I am a little curious. I wonder if your subordinate, Star Mother Yuanjun, is currently at her limit?... Also, Fellow Daoist, some changes have occurred after the Third Order. Can my Yellow River Realm do some small experiments..."

"Fellow Daoist, don't misunderstand. This is not the meaning of our Venerable, nor the meaning of the Yellow River Realm. It is purely my personal idea. Fellow Daoist, please forgive me."

He said that the purpose had been achieved and he was about to leave, but Xuan Huang would be surprised if he believed this attitude.

This was the most important thing, right?

However, it's meaningless to see through without saying it.

Even if people are acting, you have to let them finish the performance.

"Star Mother's limit should be a large realm, but you should understand that the difficulty is different, and the time is different, but currently, it does not pose a threat to the top-level realms... Moreover, even if it can, it will be an endless and long time, which is equivalent to useless."

Xuan Huang said without concealing anything.

There was nothing to hide.

Star Mother Yuanjun currently poses no threat to the top-level realms.

Even a large realm would require a long time.

The Bright Lake Realm was an exception. First, it was already declining, second, the sacred beings within it were also exploiting it, and third, the Star Mother insect race was eroding it.

If it were a normal realm, it would definitely not be breached in a year and a half.

Even if Star Mother Yuanjun learned Xuan Huang's Dao techniques, her abilities would be greatly improved.

However, it would normally take more than ten years to break through a small realm.

The Corpse Retriever nodded. It was good as long as it didn't pose a threat to the top-tier domains. Even if the top-tier domains weren't afraid, being unafraid and an enemy being incapable were two different things.

If the enemy couldn't do it, how could I prove I was truly unafraid?

Of course, Daoist Xuan Huang also said, 'currently unable to threaten.' This 'currently' is very interesting.

Currently not possible doesn't mean it won't be possible in the future. This point is very important.

"As for small experiments? Lü Dongbin of the Daoist World has already done it. Zuo Qiuming of the Confucian Temple has also been doing it recently. It's fine for your Yellow River Domain to participate. It's nothing major. Do as you please. I have no objections."

Xuan Huang's response was as generous as ever.

"Thank you, Daoist friend. Thank you, Daoist friend. The Yellow River Domain will remember your kindness."

The Corpse Retriever solemnly cupped his hands towards Xuan Huang in a distant bow. Xuan Huang deserved this great gift.

He knew exactly what they wanted to do.

One cannot create laws or gain insights within a domain, but one's own field is different.

Xuan Huang understood very well that after his Aspect of the Masses returned to its place, it gathered all the lines of karma, fulfilling a part of the Heavenly Dao's capabilities.

Not one mistake, not one verse, not one hair, not one content, not one appearance, not one look!

Karma is often integrated with creation. When creation coalesces and karma gathers, that is the Heavenly Dao.

How does the Heavenly Dao appear? It is born from the coalesced karma and creation of endless living beings.

It can be said that the kind of Heavenly Dao depends on the kind of living beings under that Heavenly Dao.

Living beings achieve the Heavenly Dao, and conversely, the Heavenly Dao achieves living beings. They are two sides of the same coin.

As the Confucian scholar Zeng Wu guessed, creating laws in one's own domain as a substitute for the Heavenly Dao is like learning the three fundamental laws. The source is oneself.

Once one shields a cultivator, that cultivator will perish.

Moreover, any law that is created becomes nourishment for oneself, or rather, nourishment for the Aspect of the Masses.

However, Xuan Huang was very clear that he could only replace one-third of the Heavenly Dao at present and could not yet achieve the level of the Great Heavenly Dao.

The Aspect of the Masses only covers the masses. The masses' insights into him cannot yet involve the heavens and earth or all things.

He needs his Aspect of the Heavens and Earth to appear, and his Aspect of All Things to appear, to achieve a small, complete Heavenly Dao.

The Aspect of All Things is also the True Aspect, the Self Aspect.

Gaining insights into the masses and gaining insights into the heavens and earth will ultimately reveal that there is no end to it. Therefore, gaining insights into the true self, using oneself as the anchor, one's insights into the heavens, earth, and masses are how one sees all things, and how all things see oneself.

Therefore, it is also called the Aspect of All Things, the True Aspect, the True Self, etc.

Only when these three major Aspects all appear can a small Heavenly Dao be achieved within Xuan Huang's domain.

Currently, he can only replace one-third of the Heavenly Dao.

However, even this is enough.

The Saints were already very satisfied.

There was nothing in their own domains, and they were completely unable to gain insights into the Heavenly Dao or learn from the heavens and earth.

In Daoist Xuan Huang's domain, they could at least gain insights into the insights of a lifetime.

Moreover, how were these Saints born?

They appeared from the fantasies, entrustments, beliefs, etc., of the masses. The masses are their ultimate goal to reach higher.

It would be better to have the heavens, earth, and all things, but they can get by without them.

It can only be said that the Heavenly Dao of the Masses in Xuan Huang's domain is too friendly to them and very suitable for them.

As an aside, when First Order Xuan Huang opened up his lower dantian qi sea, he said that infinitely expanding the area of the qi sea and undergoing transformation was also a path to the heavens.

By analogy, infinitely opening up one's middle dantian Yellow Court and upper dantian Purple Palace is also a great path to the heavens.

Putting it here, the masses, the heavens and earth, and all things are also three great paths.

A single one can reach a very high level. Don't look down on some Saints who were born as Sixth Order Venerable Lords, but walking the path of the masses alone can still go further. Seventh Order is definitely not the limit of the path of the masses; it is only their personal limit.

Xuan Huang currently only has the Aspect of the Masses. Don't underestimate it just because it is only one-third of the Great Perfection Heavenly Dao and still in its rudimentary form.

It is enough for them.

"It's fine. Your insights are also my insights. It's mutually beneficial," Xuan Huang said without taking credit.

He didn't need them to remember it in their hearts or never forget it.

It's better to be more genuine and sincere.

"Hehe, that's true. But no matter what, we will remember it."

The Corpse Retriever sighed at Daoist Xuan Huang's uprightness but didn't forget that it was his generosity that he didn't care, and it would be your small-mindedness if you didn't express it.

"I just heard Daoist friend say that Daoist Lü Dongbin and Daoist Zuo Qiuming have taken a step ahead. I wonder what the two have gained?"

This Corpse Retriever, he just said the last question, the 'personal wish' before leaving.

Now he has forgotten it and is curious again.

Overall, Xuan Huang has a decent temper and is willing to communicate with people peacefully, as long as it's not too excessive.

As for this kind of communication that probes for secrets, as long as it doesn't involve his bottom line, it doesn't matter if he tells him.

This can also stimulate their competition. If their competition isn't fierce, how can he have great gains?

They are all his 'workers.' He might as well kindly tell them.

"I sensed that Lü Dongbin has made great progress, and Daoist Zuo Qiuming should have improved in essence," Xuan Huang said.

"Ah? What?"

The Corpse Retriever was shocked.

He just asked out of curiosity, but he actually asked out a big secret.

As for how Xuan Huang knew, he couldn't hide it from him.

Lü Dongbin's sword dao was imprinted there. He wasn't blind and could feel the increase in Daoist essence. This was the increase in his master, Lü Dongbin.

There was a very deep line of karma.

The Storyteller's 《Book of Entering the Dao》was even more so. Moreover, when Zuo Qiuming recorded the Bright Lake Domain, the essential improvement was in Nan City.

How could he not feel this?

He was just unwilling to be a 360-degree, no-dead-angle monitor. If he wanted to, even the slightest disturbance in Nan City's Green Cloud Mountain, including places further away, couldn't escape him.

He was omniscient within the domain he controlled.

It's just that he can't be omnipotent yet.

"That's right, that's right. Lü Dongbin should be about to transform soon. Daoist Zuo Qiuming is a bit special. You are domain neighbors. You should know more than I do," Xuan Huang 'lured' him wickedly.

"I understand, I understand!"

The Corpse Retriever hurriedly nodded to indicate that he understood.

Zuo Qiuming hadn't been idle and had been wandering around Nan City. They weren't blind and could all see it.

Combined with this person's rumors, they could probably guess what was going on.

It's just that he didn't expect it to be so fast, that there had already been an essential change. He also had to work hard.

After returning, he would emphasize it to the Venerable. He must seize the opportunity. One cannot gain insights into the Heavenly Dao in the domain, but one can come to Daoist Xuan Huang's domain.

At this moment, he didn't know what he was thinking, but he suddenly felt a little lucky that he was a Fourth Order King.

Because even top-tier domains currently do not support Fifth Order Venerable Lords going out.

This was an opportunity for Fourth Order Kings like him, no, it was an opportunity for Fourth Order Kings of top-tier domains.

Ordinary domains can't even produce Fourth Order Kings.

The Corpse Retriever had no more questions this time and left in a hurry.

He left with 90% joy and a little bit of anxiety.
