Chapter 351: Chapter 167: Supreme Heaven Opening Talisman

"How about tonight?" Fan Wubing asked.

"What do you mean by ’How about tonight’?"

"Watching the mountains rise and rivers swell, witnessing the heavens darken and the earth grow dim, seeing the seas dry up and stones erode, observing the dragons soar and phoenixes dance."

Fu Manman twisted Fan Wubing’s arm and said, "Where did you learn so many phrases from? Go away, go away! I don’t want it!"

"Why not? Aren’t we adults now..."

"Who said you become an adult at eighteen?" Fu Manman crossed her arms and tilted her head back, humming softly with her eyes closed.

Fan Wubing muttered, "How was I supposed to know you’d grow into this at sixteen..."

The current Fu Manman had truly become graceful and elegant. To be precise, after that Thousand Flowers Festival, Fan Wubing completely changed his view of her. This girl had begun to trample all over his heart.

"Swayed by beauty!" Fu Manman said with her mouth, but her heart was racing like a fawn jumping around.

So happy!

But, no way!

Fu Manman intended to make Fan Wubing work for it; after all, he used to make others work for it! Retribution, it’s all retribution.

Watching Fan Wubing’s troubled expression, the Little Princess couldn’t be happier.

Knock, knock, knock!

The courtyard door was knocked.

Fan Wubing looked outside and saw He Youyi standing there, smiling slightly.

...

In the lounge, Fan Wubing spoke first, "I really didn’t expect Mr. He to come over."

He Youyi’s appearance was the same all year round, wearing a somewhat grayish Confucian robe, stepping with cloth shoes, the edges slightly muddied. His beard wasn’t thick, but it was very orderly, exuding a serious temperament, his gaze always deep yet gentle, with a few strands of white hair at the temples that didn’t make him look old, but rather added a sense of gravitas.

He smiled, "I heard from Emperor Li that you live around here, so I thought I’d come and take a look."

Emperor Li.

This title took Fan Wubing a moment to process, then he sighed internally; yes, Ye Yixian actually became the first Emperor of Great Li.

He Youyi’s gaze never gave anyone a sense of intrusion.

Fan Wubing felt the faint yet existent aura about him. He had always thought he was in the Integration Realm, but now it seemed much more than that.

Li Ying was already in the Small Mahayana, but she didn’t give Fan Wubing the same deep feeling as He Youyi. He figured He Youyi must be in the Mahayana now. However, a Confucian cultivator in the Mahayana Realm is supposed to be a Saint, so why does his demeanor still belong to a learned scholar? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Fu Manman brought some tea and then went outside to play with Xianchan.

He Youyi watched the two girls, one big and one small, in the courtyard, pondered for a moment, and then smiled, saying, "Even when I was in the northern lands, I felt the blessings of the Spring God appearing around the Celestial Balance Upper City. At that time, I wondered what kind of person could receive the Spring God’s blessing. After all, the Spring God, being the head of the Four Seasons Gods, hadn’t shown themselves in the heavens for two thousand years. Now seeing it, I must say the Spring God has good taste."

"Yes, she is excellent, very good." Fan Wubing looked at Fu Manman in the courtyard.

He Youyi actually wanted to ask what kind of child Xianchan was. Because in his perception, this kid was very unusual, yet he couldn’t sense more about them. After thinking about it, he decided not to ask.

"I’ve also heard about the matter with Queyu Mountain God and Lord Rou." He switched to another topic, "Queyu Mountain God explained to me extensively how remarkable you are. It looks like he really admires you."

Fan Wubing gave a reserved smile, "It’s nothing extraordinary; I believe anyone would lend a hand in such a situation."

He Youyi inhaled, his words laden with meaning, "That may not be the case." His brows slightly furrowed.

Fan Wubing, noticing his expression, paused a moment before asking, "Mr. He, is there anything you need me to do? I don’t have much going on right now."

He Youyi shook his head, "It’s not about needing you to do something, but rather that you’ve made significant contributions to the Confucian Divine Dao twice now, and we ought to compensate and reward you."

Fan Wubing laughed, "That first time wasn’t really a contribution, was it? It was merely a word."

"In your eyes, it was merely a word, but for the Confucian Dao, it was a chance for self-correction."

Fan Wubing thought for a moment, "Honestly, I don’t know much about the Confucian School, nor do I know what kind of compensation I could get from you."

Getting compensation and rewards is actually a tough matter. Especially now, having come into power, no longer being a naive youngster. It’s even less about just saying this and that.

He Youyi laughed, "Why not take a look at the specific rewards first, little friend?"

After speaking, he waved his long sleeve lightly, causing a golden tome to slowly emerge, with two prominent characters on the cover -

"Conferment," accompanied by a line of small words, "Supreme Heaven Opening Talisman."

The meaning of the characters "Conferment" was very straightforward across the world; it meant God-sealing.

Various local deities with golden forms were all conferred through the God-Sealing Register held by the Confucian sect.

As for the six words "Supreme Heaven Opening Talisman," they were highly prestigious. They implied the Supreme God, the Master of Myriad Saints, the Emperor Haotian, the legendary Jade Emperor.

The God-Sealing Register of the Confucian School was categorized into two types.

The first type bore the words "Enlightenment of the Righteous Path" and allowed one to obtain it upon earning the title of Gentleman in the Confucian Dao, but it could only confer the lowest three gods: Wandering God, Temple God, and Earth God.

The second type bore the phrase "Supreme Heaven Opening Talisman," capable of bestowing titles from Wandering God, Temple God, Earth God to the highest gods: Great God, Celestial God, True God. Although it had been long since any True Gods had been conferred, the prestige of the register was undisputed. Within the Confucian School, one had to be at least a learned scholar to qualify for it.
