Demoness, where are you Fleeing to?

Chapter 852: Chapter 710: Solar Furnace

Li Xuan’s purpose in seeking out Qiu Qianqiu was naturally to proclaim the divine name of the "Great Emperor of the Highest Heaven Miluo" and to expand the belief in the Xuanhuang Great Emperor.

To quickly make a "god" known to the common people, there was nothing more effective than manifesting miracles before their eyes.

Especially the people of the Jin Dynasty who were quite pragmatic; they would believe in whichever god or Buddha showed efficacy, disliking anything insubstantial.

In this regard, there were none more convenient than the members of the Liudao Division.

During the subjugation of demons, merely shouting "Xuanhuang Great Emperor, lend me your power" was more effective than anything else.

The Liudao Division was tasked with exorcising demons, and with grassroots branches throughout the entire Jin Dynasty, they had gained the sincere belief of the common people, making them the most suitable channel for spreading the faith of the "Xuanhuang Great Emperor."

Moreover, to gain the trust of people in a new deity, one could currently only heavily promote it through official channels.

Li Xuan also coveted the members of the Liudao Division.

These individuals were the elite among Wu cultivators and spell cultivators, and the faith power of one person could be equivalent to that of a hundred ordinary civilians.

Li Xuan was preparing to use the "Heavenly Soldiers and Generals" he controlled as bait to recruit followers from within the Liudao Division.

Qiu Qianqiu was quite shocked by Li Xuan styling himself as the "Xuanhuang Great Emperor" and did not understand why he chose the path of Divine Law, nor how he managed to conjure so many heavenly soldiers and generals able to appear throughout the entire Jin Dynasty.

However, after weighing his options briefly, he agreed very straightforwardly.

This was not a bad thing for the Liudao Division system; it could significantly enhance the grassroots combat power.

Summoning "heavenly soldiers" might be an unorthodox method, but many times, they were concerned about lacking reliable external assistance.

As long as they weren’t of the Evil Spirit kind and didn’t affect or interfere with the disciples’ minds, such practices were generally encouraged within the Liudao Division.

Next, Li Xuan had a secret conversation with Qiu Qianqiu that lasted for more than a Shichen before he walked out of Zhuque Hall.

By this time, it was already noon, and Li Xuan, with all his affairs concluded, prepared to return to Beijing.

Jiang Yunqi and her father no longer required his worry, with Tingtian Ao always helping him keep an eye on Jiang Hanyun.

According to the reports from this cowardly dog, father and daughter had already set off north early this morning.

There was also Lei, the Six-Tailed Spirit Fox, whom Li Xuan had also bribed with a substantial sum.

Therefore, he anticipated that tomorrow’s wedding should not encounter any drama such as the bride running away—

Just before leaving, Li Xuan’s Divine Consciousness moved, making his figure appear in the "Tianxingtai" under his control.

This odd space was still a deathly gray color. However, compared to several months ago, there were significant changes.

The Tianxingtai itself had been renovated and now looked completely new, no longer desolate as before.

To the north of the Tianxingtai, there was also a small palace.

It had green tiles and crimson eaves, carved beams and painted rafters, glorious in gold, with jade banisters—however, it only occupied an area equivalent to a five-section Siheyuan courtyard.

—This was the "Divine Palace" of the "Great Emperor of the Highest Heaven Miluo."

There was no choice; the space of Tianxingtai was originally not large, only nine Li from north to south and seven Li from east to west, and Li Xuan could only make do with what was available for the time being.

Inside this miniature palace were stationed over six hundred "heavenly soldiers," majestic in their physiques and solemn in their demeanors.

Over recent months, Li Xuan had collected quite a bit of Divine Power, gradually releasing some of the Hell Soldiers from within the Wuqu Pojun, enlisting and ennobling them one by one.

In fact, the core essence of these "heavenly soldiers" was still the vengeful souls, with their resentment not yet dispelled, and their obsessions not yet removed, merely coated in a layer of Divine Power.

However, embedded in their Primordial Spirits was Li Xuan’s divine seal, which could be used to regather the True Spirit and gradually restore sanity, progressively dissolving their malicious intent.

This was also a form of "influencing"; Li Xuan was using his own Divine Power to imbue these Hell Soldiers’ Divine Consciousness and awareness.

Nevertheless, this was still better than being eternally shackled inside a magical instrument, existing as a vengeful soul devoid of self-conscience.

In this Divine Palace, there was also the throne that Li Xuan had forged for himself.

The throne consisted of nine levels of jade stairs, upon which sat a Qiankun Shanhe Chair.

Inside, there was an enormously intricate and mysteriously sophisticated talisman array. The blueprint for the array was provided by Lv Qiluo.

Its function was akin to a "wish machine" or "intelligent server," helping Li Xuan to collect Divine Power, and then to respond simply to the prayers of the faithful.

For instance, with the "Heavenly Soldier Spell" and the "Heavenly General Spell," Li Xuan couldn’t possibly respond to each one personally, could he?

There were also sincere believers who wished to expel evil and avoid filth, to eliminate diseases and disasters; Li Xuan also needed to respond somewhat, for instance, sending a "Clarify Technique" or a "Purify Technique," and such.

Divine Power was not omnipotent and couldn’t genuinely cure diseases and save people—magic couldn’t simply remove the illness.

Li Xuan also did not agree with the idea that the people should turn to divine intervention for all ailments, as it did not align with his principles.

His Divine Power was targeted only at those pains and illnesses caused by Evil Spirits and sinister elements.

Li Xuan had spent a fortune on this throne, consuming materials worth ten million yuan of patterned silver.

But in reality, it was still a crudely made object, only slightly superior to the Stele he had previously erected.

According to Lv Qiluo, it was still a temporary measure, barely sufficient.

Then, on the eastern side of the small palace, a series of massive platforms had also been newly constructed.

They covered an extensive area, reaching three Li in both length and width, practically occupying the entire northeast space of the Tianxingtai.

Atop the platform, there was an egg-shaped structure. Also three Li in length and width, standing about a thousand zhang tall.

The exterior of the structure was silver-white in color and occasionally emitted strong light that illuminated the entire Tianxingtai space in blinding white.

When Li Xuan leaped into the interior of this giant egg, he found Leng Yurou and Mr. and Mrs. Yue Huaiyuan busily working there.
