My construction materials are weird

Currently, in this world, to learn and practice magic, one must have a Divine Soul for suppression.

Unless one takes the path of Xuanhuang, where willpower reigns supreme.

But there's no need to mention that. Creating laws is difficult enough for them; wanting to walk the path of willpower is simply a pipe dream.

If you want to walk that path, you must first have a willpower law. They can't even create cultivation methods, let alone willpower laws. That's just making things difficult for Fatty Hu.

They can't walk the path of suppressing with their own willpower.

They can only use other things to replace it as suppression.

Currently, there are two paths: one with Xuanhuang as the source, and one with the Realm as the suppression.

Of course, there is also a third path: using magical treasures from small worlds for suppression.

However, this path is too limited. Fourth-order magical treasures can only allow cultivation up to the Third Order, and Fifth-order Venerable artifacts can only allow cultivation up to the Fourth Order King.

To progress, the magical treasure must first advance.

This is a dead end. If there were a choice, no one would choose this path.

Therefore, there are only two paths that can be taken.

Who is the source of suppression is crucial. Xuanhuang's laws all use him as the source of suppression.

If they were cultivators, it would be fine, but they wouldn't be in such a predicament.

But they are not cultivators; they are Realm Saints and can only use the Realm's consciousness as suppression. Choosing anything else is equivalent to betrayal.

The price of betrayal is unless, like Saintess Tushan, Xuanhuang creates a separate law for her to muddle through.

Otherwise, there is only death.

The Corpse Diver doesn't want to betray the Realm, so he can only take the path of using the Realm as the source of suppression. Then, the "Burial Coffin Law" is the best choice.

The first time Xuanhuang and the Corpse Diver met, the Corpse Diver came rowing a boat.

If you look closely, this boat is not an ordinary boat; it is a coffin-shaped boat, or rather, it is a coffin.

The strange, rampant corpse was suppressed and locked in the coffin by him.

It seems that fate has its own arrangements. The "Burial Coffin Law" seems to be waiting for someone who cherishes it, and the Corpse Diver is also waiting for a law that suits him.

If Xuanhuang had not risen, where would the cultivation methods circulating from the small worlds eventually go?

There seems to be no need to think much about it.

They would definitely flow into the hands of the Realm Saints.

Heaven is fair, establishing a great enemy, the Anomalies, for the Saints, and naturally giving the Saints equal alternatives.

The Saints first take the path of incense and faith, then collect various cultivation methods from the small worlds as resources to create cultivation methods that belong to them.

This seems to be already arranged.

That is to say, without Xuanhuang, this incomplete secret method, the "Burial Coffin Law," might, possibly, also fall into the hands of the Corpse Diver, or other similar Saints.

"What are you planning to do?" the Witch asked.

Now that she knew her companion's thoughts, the Witch felt much more at ease.

"I will take the path of Venerable Zuo Qiuming, capturing Anomalies to exchange for merit tokens and points, walking within the domain of Xuanhuang's fellow cultivators… In the future, the problems within the Realm will be left to the two of you. Thank you both for your hard work."

The Corpse Diver cupped his hands to the two fellow cultivators.

Originally, the three of them were on duty, but now that the Corpse Diver is leaving, the task falls on the Ferryman and the Witch. Therefore, the Corpse Diver cupped his hands apologetically.

"No trouble, no trouble. If you really feel guilty, then strive to forge a path. If that's the case, I'll be willing to work hard no matter how busy or tired I am," the Witch said.

"I will do my best."

The Corpse Diver has perseverance and courage, but he doesn't dare to guarantee it.

On the other side…

Xuanhuang instructed Sun Tong on many things, left the Lord of Sentient Beings to oversee things, and then left himself.

The four department heads of the Demon Subduing Department, who had rushed over, unfortunately missed him.

This was the first time she had seen all four department heads come together.

She had met Bi Xia and Han Wu, but Tang Zong and Zhao Zheng were the first time she had met them. These two department heads had actually come as well.

The reason she said so frankly that Master Xuan was not in, that he had gone to outer space?

It was Xuanhuang's instruction. There was no need to hide it, and he wasn't afraid that someone would make trouble while he was away. Xuanhuang had that much confidence.

Not to mention that all the supreme treasures were there, and the Myriad Spirits Palace was also there. Even the Five Elements Lord and the Lord of Sentient Beings were there.

The Five Elements Lord permanently resides in the Land of Origin, but that doesn't mean he can't return once he leaves. He can return immediately if something happens.

Therefore, there was nothing to hide.

Xuanhuang even hoped that enemies would attack while he was away.

That would be interesting.

"Alas, what a pity!" Tang Zong said regretfully.

This was the first time the two of them had come to Qingyun Mountain. After entering Qingyun Mountain, their first reaction was apprehension and nervousness.

Because the two of them were also experiencing what Han Wu and Bi Xia had experienced before, which was being suppressed by the small Heavenly Will domain of the Three Treasures.

It wasn't suppressing them, but suppressing their Anomalies.

Although Bi Xia and Han Wu had shared their experiences, experience is experience. It's only truly felt when one's own Anomalies are suppressed.

The feeling… can only be described as a feeling never experienced before.

From the moment they began to control Anomalies, they had never been so 'weak'.

Whether it was the Anomaly Father or the Anomaly Bride, they were all suppressed, without even a chance to resist.

Department Head Bi Xia had instructed: Don't resist when you feel the pressure, just go with the flow.

The two of them were prepared, but where was the pressure?

Why didn't they feel it? Their Anomalies were suppressed silently and imperceptibly.

What did this represent?

They weren't fools, so they naturally knew what it represented.

Not to mention the two of them, even Han Wu's Marquis Champion didn't react this time and fell silent. Han Wu's feelings were different from the two of them.

She felt the resistance of the Great General, but then an unparalleled palace projected into her mind, and then… there was no then.

Han Wu felt that it should be the rumored Myriad Spirits Palace that had taken action.

That legendary Fifth-order Venerable artifact.

"However, although Master Xuan is not here, the Lord of Sentient Beings is here. Master Xuan said when he left that seeing the Lord of Sentient Beings is like seeing his own self, it's the same. Do the four department heads want to meet him?" Sun Tong's roundabout way of speaking was really slow.

The hearts of the four were like roller coasters.

"The Lord of Sentient Beings, isn't that Fellow Cultivator Jin Xingzhu?" Bi Xia said.

"Jin Xingzhu is Jin Xingzhu, the Lord of Sentient Beings is the Lord of Sentient Beings, they are all Master Xuan's avatars. Master Xuan has improved after all."

To be honest, when Xuanhuang instructed her, saying that the Lord of Sentient Beings would replace him in overseeing things, Sun Tong initially had the same expression as the four of them.

How did another Lord of Sentient Beings come?

What about Jin Xingzhu?

Xuanhuang's explanation to her was: Jin Xingzhu doesn't get along with you, so I rearranged the avatar. How about it, am I considerate to my subordinates?

These were Xuanhuang's original words.

Although Sun Tong knew that Master Xuan was joking and teasing her, it was certain that Master Xuan had many avatars.

Before, there were the Five Elements Lords. She had met one, Jin Xingzhu, but hadn't met the other four.

Now, the Lord of Sentient Beings has arrived again.

"Cough cough!" Bi Xia was embarrassed. Sun Tong's words were meaningful.

"Let's meet him. Since Fellow Cultivator Xuanhuang said so, we should naturally meet him," Bi Xia decided.

Now that they had come, it wouldn't be good to just leave. Since the Lord of Sentient Beings could replace Xuanhuang, they should naturally meet him.

Even if Zhao Zheng and Tang Zong had objections, Bi Xia still wanted to see Xuanhuang's avatar.

He wanted to personally experience the difference, especially the specific differences between it and his own Dao soldiers.

The four of them had come with many doubts and requests for guidance, with too many questions to ask.

In this way, under Sun Tong's guidance, the four arrived at the main hall.

The four stepped inside and found it completely different, as if they had entered another world, experiencing the power of a fifth-order Supreme artifact.

The group saw the Celestial Lord of All Living Beings.

They felt something completely different from Xuan Huang.

The Celestial Lord of All Living Beings sat atop the majestic palace, his Taoist robe wide and flowing, embroidered with dancing dragons and shimmering gold threads, reflecting the glazed tiles of the palace.

His face was handsome, his eyebrows like swords, slanting into his temples, his eyes revealing depth and wisdom, as if he could see through all things in the world.

His eyes were like an abyss, making people afraid to look directly at them, yet they seemed to contain warmth, making people feel at ease. His nose was straight, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, making him appear both solemn and approachable.

Flawless from head to toe!

Behind the Celestial Lord of All Living Beings was a Dao wheel inlaid with seven-colored precious light, radiant and colorful, with faint dragon roars echoing, showing the extraordinary cultivation of its owner.

His posture was upright, like a pine standing in the snow, unyielding and unbent, his Taoist bones highlighting his transcendent temperament. His left hand rested lightly on the wide armrest, while his right hand held a jade slip symbolizing mana, with a faint light flowing between his fingers, as if he held the mighty righteousness.

Inside the surrounding palace, incense burners emitted smoke, auspicious air steamed, and various immortal flowers emitted a faint fragrance, complementing the Celestial Lord of All Living Beings' immortal demeanor, creating a transcendent and tranquil atmosphere.

The palace door was open, and outside the door, clouds surged, and mountain peaks loomed, like a fairyland, echoing the Celestial Lord of All Living Beings' immortal style.

The biggest difference between the Celestial Lord of All Living Beings and Xuan Huang was the Dao wheel suspended behind him and the jade slip in his hand.

Collecting all the karma of all living beings, condensed into the Dao wheel behind him, controlling the life and death of all living beings, condensed into the jade slip in his hand.

Transcendent and sacred.

If they hadn't seen the so-called sacred beings before, the four chief ministers would have thought that the sacred beings outside were all fake, and this one was the true sacred being.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Celestial Lord of All Living Beings."

The four politely cupped their hands and bowed.

It wouldn't have been necessary to be so polite to Xuan Huang, but the inviolable appearance of the Celestial Lord of All Living Beings made them unable to resist bowing respectfully.

After all, they still had to ask for help later, so there was no need to be shy.

"Greetings, four Fellow Daoists, greetings to the four Fellow Daoists."

The Celestial Lord of All Living Beings lightly raised his hand, helping up the four who were bowing.

Immediately, auspicious clouds appeared, and colorful lotuses emerged, gathering into four seats.

"Please!" said the Celestial Lord of All Living Beings.

The four were all experts with extraordinary knowledge, but this was the first time they had been treated like this.

They sat on the throne nervously, trying not to embarrass themselves.

Bi Xia understood at this moment, as expected, it was different, unlike Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang who was so casual.

The style and manner of this Celestial Lord of All Living Beings were truly like two different people. Was this the difference between a Dao soldier and a clone?

His own Dao soldier could only be commanded and controlled by himself, but the person in front of him, if one didn't know better, would think he was another living being.

After exchanging pleasantries, they entered the formal topic.

"Having learned that Fellow Daoist is attacking the Boundary, although we cannot help, we are very happy, representing that we humans are not lambs to be slaughtered, we also have the means to fight back..."

Bi Xia said politely and formally.

Attacking the Boundary was the reason why they couldn't sit still and the four came together.

This event was too sensational.

Before, it was only sensational news between Boundaries, but the Spirit Master Realm was also shocked into silence.

Xuan Huang was already the pride of all human beings, including the Spirit Masters.

From the initial contempt, hostility, and desire to obliterate Xuan Huang, to later facing Xuan Huang squarely, treating him equally, and then not being able to afford to provoke him or defeat him, and somewhat admiring him.

Now, Xuan Huang has become the pride of all people.

Of course, this is within the scope of Xia Country, and many people in other countries do not know that Xuan Huang exists.

They are tightly blocked by the Spirit Masters of other countries, with no news at all, for fear that the existence of such a person will spread and make it difficult to control the people below.

But within Xia Country, Xuan Huang has become the pride of all people.

Especially this time's attack on the Boundary, which can be regarded as having a common enemy.

The previous contradictions have also been resolved by 90%, the sacred beings equally despise human beings.

Whether you are a Spirit Master or a cultivator, in their eyes, you are all lambs to be ruled.

Especially Spirit Masters, they are also called demons, possessed people, self-degrading people, and human filth.

Even more uncomfortable than cultivators.

The sacred beings at most resent cultivators, because the appearance of cultivators destroys their sacred image and their layout.

Spirit Masters are different, in the eyes of the sacred beings, they are human filth.

After all, the great enemy of the sacred beings, or rather, the destined enemy is the strange.

Spirit Masters have merged with the strange?

How can this be good!

Just treat them as strange beings.

The Spirit Masters truly felt that today was different from the past, and their status and position were declining day by day.

Before, they didn't obey anyone except the strange, and dared to fight anyone.

Later, there were cultivators, who they couldn't afford to provoke. But, except for the strange and the cultivators, they didn't obey anyone.

Now the sacred beings have also come, and there are more and more people they can't afford to provoke or defeat, which is very uncomfortable.

The news that Xuan Huang attacked the Boundary and could actually do it spread through the strange network and directly caused a sensation.

Especially abroad.

The contradiction between the foreign Boundary and the Spirit Masters is even greater.

From dogma, to culture, to personality, to dealing with problems, they are all black and white, with the attitude that the monotheistic religion is all heresy except for themselves.

There is no such thing as each being beautiful, beauty together, harmony together, and difference in harmony.

Under the guidance of this philosophical and cultural thought of black and white, either me or the enemy, the foreign Spirit Masters and the Boundary have already reached a situation where a war is about to break out.

If it weren't for the fact that the Spirit Masters couldn't break through and the sacred beings couldn't get out, foreign countries would have already started fighting.

It indirectly reflects the culture and philosophical thinking of a nation.

Xia Country is actually the most gentle place.

As mentioned earlier, because Xia Country has a long history and a deep culture, it has the most and strongest Boundaries.

This is a bad thing, but at this moment it has become the best thing.

Long history, thick culture, coupled with ancestor worship, self-deification.

As a result, many of the sacred beings in the Boundary are their own ancestors returning from history, returning from space-time fantasies.

Coming back to see, they are all their descendants, and they are deeply guided by their own thoughts, continuing to this day.

It's not good to really fight each other and turn against each other, plus the same civilization and thinking, so let's try to cooperate as much as possible.

Anyway, within Xia Country, the Boundary sacred beings achieved by Xia Country's ancestors have not attacked the people of Xia Country so far.

Cannot, and dare not.

There are many factors that cannot be done, the inseparable emotions and the identity of the descendants.

And not daring is the attitude of the Civil and Military Temples. These two top-level beings say that they are human, they are human sacred beings, they are Xia Country sacred beings, dare other human Boundaries have any objections?

What is culture? What is civilization?

This is it.

And civilization is in the hands of civilized people.
