NOVPUB"Donghuang Divine System?"
"Indeed, I’ve encountered an ’old acquaintance’."
Shen Yuan maintained the speed of an ordinary Qi Training cultivator as he used Speedy Evasion in the air, recalling the information he had obtained from the three people previously, with a touch of surprise in his expression.
Shen Yuan could say he was quite familiar with the name Donghuang Divine System.
Previously, in the Yunfu Mountain Range, Shen Yuan had encountered the master of the Blood River Yuan Slaughter Path, Kuang Tianjie, who mistook him for the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch.
And right after he gained control over the Gods Purging Divine Power, he disguised himself with the Gods Purging Edict, pretending to be a divinity of the Incense Offering Divinity Path to deceive the Yunfu Mountain Lord.
At that time, including the Yunfu Mountain Lord, many Mountain Gods mistook Shen Yuan for the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch who had ruled the Donghuang Divine System thousands of years ago.
From the information gained from Old Monster Kuang, Shen Yuan was able to confirm that the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch was one of the masterminds behind the Demon Transformation upheaval, previously stirring up a wide-reaching war in the Primal Chaos Realm.
In the end, the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch escaped with his life, but a hundred years later, he was killed by an Almighty Earth Immortal from the Falling Clouds Sect, and the entire Donghuang Divine System was completely destroyed.
However, this was history before Shen Yuan intervened. After Shen Yuan’s intervention across thousands of years, the entire Falling Clouds Sect ceased to exist, and the so-called Almighty Earth Immortal did not exist at all.
Destroying the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch and the entire Donghuang Divine System might encounter some changes.
"However, the Demon Transformation upheaval and the destruction of the Donghuang Divine System all happened after the Great Schism. It’s still too early for that, and thinking about it now is pointless."
Shen Yuan knew from those three people that only three years had passed since the trial of the Primal Chaos Nifty Pagoda, and the name of the Falling Clouds Sect Taoist had just started spreading throughout the Primal Chaos Realm. There were still decades to go before the Great Yin’s Mortal Emperor’s Absolute Heaven and Earth Passage.
Thinking this, Shen Yuan shook his head, temporarily casting aside the chaotic thoughts in his mind as he slowed down his approach to Luoyu City.
As Shen Yuan neared the city’s edge, he could clearly see beams of Flight of Light shooting up into the sky, flying towards the place where the temporal and spatial turbulence phenomenon was located.
The vast majority of Loose Cultivators chose to go there to compete for opportunities, with Shen Yuan being the only one flying back to Luoyu City alone, which naturally attracted quite a bit of attention.
However, when most cultivators realized that Shen Yuan wasn’t using a flying talisman tool but was piloting primordial Elemental Qi for Speedy Evasion, a look of awe appeared in their eyes.
In the remoteness of Luoyu City, Qi-training cultivators were already considered extremely important figures, and most cultivators there were merely at the Qi Transformation stage.
Luoyu City did not have aerial restrictions, so Shen Yuan landed directly in the city.
A few young men nearby brightened at this sight, and one of them quickly came forward, respectfully asking,
"Immortal Master, you’ve just arrived at Luoyu City, do you need someone to show you around?
I’m somewhat familiar with all the manuscript archive pavilions, talisman tool stores, and cultivation grotto residences in Luoyu City."
Shen Yuan glanced at the youngster who had come forward. His injured Yang God intent spread out, easily passing through each Formation barrier, thoroughly understanding everything within Luoyu City.
"Even though there are remnants of a Spirit Transmutation aura in the City Lord’s Residence, there are no great Spirit Transmutation cultivators present; the great Spirit Transmutation cultivator who oversees the city must have gone to fight for opportunities.
The rest left in the city are but four aging Qi-training cultivators, seemingly the so-called old ancestors of noble families in the city, struggling to survive by dint of secret methods to prolong their lineage."
With just one glance, Shen Yuan fully comprehended all the secrets within the city. In terms of understanding the city, he probably far surpassed the youngster before him.
With a mere thought, Shen Yuan took out a spirit stone from the void with his right hand and tossed it to the young man in front of him.
"I’m not interested in those shops or grotto residences, tell me about the general situation within the Donghuang Domain."
In the envious gaze of the others, the young man excitedly accepted the spirit stone and stored it in his embrace.
Resources in the Donghuang Domain were scarce, and even the cultivators there wished they could break a spirit stone in half to spend it.
For those guiding the Immortal Master, they would normally be rewarded with some gold and silver during normal circumstances. Receiving broken spirit stones was already considered a generous gesture.
Giving a whole spirit stone at once was undoubtedly a rare and generous act.
"Rest assured, Immortal Master, I, Miao Yu, will certainly tell you everything there is to know without any reservations!"
Without responding, Shen Yuan proceeded to a certain location in Luoyu City.
Miao Yu followed behind Shen Yuan, respectfully saying,
"Immortal Master must have come from another domain and is not very familiar with our Donghuang Domain.
Nominally ruling Donghuang Domain is the territory lord enthroned by the Imperial Court in Donghuang City, but in reality, the Donghuang Domain is under the governance of the Eastern Glory Divine Monarch, and every household within the domain must enshrine an image of the Divine Monarch."
"In many cities within the domain, the City God positions are also occupied by some deities from the Donghuang Divine System.
If the residents accumulate a hundred spirit stones, they can participate in the selection process, joining the City God Temple to become a lamp-lighting officer.
Lamp-lighting officers may cultivate methods provided by the Donghuang Divine System and travel throughout the domain to exterminate demons and accumulate merits. Once the merits reach a certain level, they may be enthroned as one of the deities within the Donghuang Divine System."
As Miao Yu spoke, he unconsciously clutched the spirit stone in his chest and looked at the City God Temple in the city with reverence.
For Miao Yu, who grew up in Luoyu City, all of this seemed completely natural. Conversely, Shen Yuan’s brow slightly raised, perceiving something amiss.
"How many lamp-lighting officers become deities within the Donghuang Divine System each year?"
The topic excited Miao Yu, who eagerly replied,
"Every ten years, the Donghuang Divine System selects three exceptional individuals from the lamp-lighting officers within the domain to be divinely enthroned."
