eld and fight. What kind of top-grade magic weapon can compare to such a powerful corpse puppet Wen Daoyou, don't talk nonsense. Today, this old man will pretend he never saw you!"Qin Sang put away th...The Hall of Investiture seemed like an bottomless pit, with the influx of heaven and earth's spiritual energy showing no signs of stopping.
In the main hall, Zhang Zhenjun was surrounded by spiritual tides, and an endless stream of spiritual energy poured into his body. His breath immediately surged.
At this time, Zhang Zhenjun's cultivation was at the beginning stage of He Tu.

In fact, the realm he could truly attain was far beyond this, but he was restricted by Zhong Mao's decree.
According to Taoist scriptures, even if the Great Seal of Heavenly Mandate (都功印) has not yet been fully accomplished in the normal state of the Divine Court (神庭), the cultivation of one's own abilities can still grow alongside it. Furthermore, the advancement of one's cultivation actually helps refine the Great Seal of Heavenly Mandate.
Beyond the River of Retribution, there was no need to consider the adverse effects that the six-day qi would have on cultivators, nor were there any restrictions.
All the powers bestowed upon the Divine Court should serve as a boon for Daoist expansion, not become a constraint.

The origins of the twenty-four Zhengzhi (orthodox teachings) of the Dao court, as well as the coming into being of the lower treatments, complementary treatments, and traveling treatments, are all attributed to accomplished individuals who aspired to expand their territories. They would first select a geomantically auspicious site and establish a treatment altar. Then, they would refine the imperial seal of merit and transmit teachings, gradually strengthening their influence.
The Celestial Court has fallen silent, sealing itself off from the world, causing the Great Seal of Merit to cease its refinement.
Among the Four Reigns, Shi Zhi's "True Mountain Seal" which was closest to completion, has been destroyed. Qian Shan's reign was possessed by demonic forces. As cultivators in this realm are unable to escape the limitations of the Six Heavens' Qi, this unprecedented predicament caught even the foresighted sages of the Dao Court off guard.

The imprint of unfinished accomplishment, the power of protection exists within limits. The holder of the seal can choose to disperse "power" or choose to monopolize it.
If Zhang Zhenjun monopolizes all the merits, there will be no more Great Immortals in Tianshuyuan, and he can advance to the middle stage. The price is that the advancement of Taoism will stagnate, resulting in a break.
He didn't do so, nor did the previous Heaven Division Minister. His cultivation remained stagnant at the River Map Stage initial until the last celestial tribulation approached. He ventured into the depths of the Calamity Origin using his final strength to pave the way for future generations, and never returned.
Before his departure, he handed over the seal of the Shangqing Tianshu Courtyard, symbolizing the position of Minister of Rites, and the Zhongmaozhi Gongyin to his chosen successor.
Dao Ting Zhenjun is like this, and Gui Fang Guo's Great Sage is also like this.
>
Even if their cultivation had settled for many years, they could easily break through the middle stage of the River Diagram Dharma Realm and pass the last heavenly tribulation. After all, those who stood out from the Dao Gate were without exception extraordinary talents.
But they still calmly faced death, so that their incense could continue to burn.
If nothing unexpected happens, Zhang Zhenjun may follow in the footsteps of the former Tianshu Academy Chancellor.
Until the esteemed Mr. Tian Yue Shang visited, a turning point finally arrived.
After the battle with the Mountain God, Left True Person and others voluntarily committed suicide. Zhang Zhenjun reclaimed his 'power' and began secretly cultivating to enhance his cultivation level.
Now that the Divine Court is back in its rightful place, the merits of all are gradually recovering and reconnecting with the Divine Court. The restrictions no longer exist!
The hall of initiation for Zhong Maoji and Shi Baiji, the two true monarchs of the Taoist court, their cultivation was rapidly increasing.
Within the Divine Court.
Qin Sang rode the dragon carriage, soaring through the clouds.
He had thoroughly comprehended the inscription, and was now attempting to control the Heavenly Divine Chariot using its power.
The golden dragon continued to dash forward relentlessly, but the frequency of its tail wagging noticeably increased, and its roar sounded agitated.
Qin Sang dispelled all distracting thoughts, holding the jade throne's handrails tightly in both hands, trying to synchronize her mind with the divine carriage.
On the horizon, the plumes of smoke became more prominent, churning the clouds into a frenzy. Some plumes dissipated after a brief burst, vanishing without a trace, while others grew increasingly powerful.
Observing its signs, it will soon pierce the clouds and enter the divine court.
Within the divine court, all the immortal palaces and pavilions were silent, except for a dragon carriage flying across the clouds, which was too conspicuous.
The eyes in the gas column were filled with malice, locking onto Qin Sang, leaving him little time.
"Roar!"
The dragon's roar suddenly became shrill, causing the Celestial God Cart to become unsteady, and Qin Sang's body swayed with it.
The roars kept pounding against Qin Sang's heart.
Qin Sang still doesn't know what the Golden Dragon is like.
> Is it living or non-living
Was it a dragon soul imprisoned within the divine chariot, or the spirit of the chariot itself Or perhaps it was part of the chariot all along In reality, it lacked sentience and merely displayed an appearance of animation.
Here is the English translation of the provided text, remembering to keep the HTML tags intact:

The Heavenly Chariot of the Divine Patrol exceeded Qin Sang's comprehension of the path of refining tools. At this moment, there was no time to carefully ponder it, so he could only hope in this talisman.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The good news is that no matter how 'furious' the roar of the golden dragon was, it didn't launch an attack on Qin Sang.
Qin Sang hesitated for a moment before probing further. No longer dawdling, he pointed his finger imbued with true energy, tracing the seal in mid-air.
When the Grand Talisman of Summoning is complete, with a flick of his hand, he strikes the Golden Dragon's nape.
Whoosh!
The talisman transformed into a beam of light, piercing through the scales on the back of the Golden Dragon's head and disappearing into its body.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The golden dragon suddenly began to wildly shake its head, as if struggling against something.
Amazingly, even in this state, the Golden Dragon still struggled valiantly forward.
Qin Sang was secretly astonished, and at the same time, her tense mind relaxed a little.
Jinlong's demeanor looked fierce, but as the seal was imprinted, its resistance to Qin Sang gradually weakened, showing signs of being controlled.
Qin Sang split a wisp of his mind, and couldn't help but open his eyes, sweeping around him, observing the environment inside the Divine Court.
At this moment, the scenery Qin Sang saw was vastly different from what it was when he first entered Nantianmen.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Only then did he realize that the Divine Court was not as wonderful as he had imagined.
Outside the Nan Tian Gate, one sees a fairyland. Upon entering, one discovers signs of dilapidation everywhere, including half-mountain slopes where immortal peaks have crumbled and palaces have collapsed into ruins.
Of course, there are also perfect golden palaces. The palace gates are tightly closed, but they radiate a brilliant light, illuminating the fairy mountain, extraordinary and wondrous.
The God's Court seemed to have gone through the baptism of war, with only a few places remaining intact.
His gaze drifted over the carriage, his eyes fixed on what lay ahead, curious about what was attracting the golden dragon.
There, not only are there billowing clouds rising and fading, but also strange lights flashing, faintly revealing an air of the immortals. It's far superior to the surrounding immortal mountains and golden palaces.
Immortal mountains are like forests, golden palaces reach the sky, and there is a grand spectacle.
This is the true celestial palace, the residence of the Heavenly Emperor!
If he was not mistaken, that place should be the core of the entire divine court, but what wonders it held remained to be seen
Qin Sang's eyes widened in shock. He activated his Heaven's Eye divine ability, but regretfully discovered that the core of the Divine Court was also severely damaged. Broken bridges and dilapidated mountains lay scattered everywhere, a scene of utter ruin even worse than the outer regions.
“Huh”
Qin Sang's expression moved slightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth, taking in the fairy mountains and golden palace within his field of vision, a thoughtful look on his face.
For some reason, the Divine Court gave him a sense of familiarity.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Sang finally found the familiar source. It was the layout of these immortal mountain golden palaces!
"It's actually in harmony with the number of stars in the heavens! When Dao Ting created Shen Ting back then, could it be that the effectiveness of their law is derived from celestial stars"
Qin Sang had practiced the "Seven Constellations Boundary Sword Formation" and thus had a certain understanding of the Zhou Tian stars.
People divided the Zhou Tian stars into Three Palaces, Four Symbols, and Twenty-Eight Mansions, believing them to be abodes of immortals and bestowing upon them extraordinary significance.
>
The Three Enclosures are the Ziwei Enclosure, Taimi Enclosure, and Tianshi Enclosure. They are the core star zones of the celestial sphere's stars.
The Twenty-Eight Mansions orbit the Three Enclosures, divided into four constellations of Azure Dragon, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise according to the four cardinal directions, encompassing all celestial stars within them.
The sword array is modeled after the Western White Tiger's Seven Stars.
>
The Taoist sect incorporates the Zhoutian stars into their divine court, with each immortal mountain and golden palace representing a star.
Qin Sang's current location should be in the Southern Seven Stars. According to the celestial palace arrangement, those fairy mountains and palaces ahead are the Three Palaces.
But what is above the Three Palaces
Qin Sang raised her head slightly, a hint of confusion on her face.
>
Only in the center of the Three Enclosures could one see clouds piled high, like a heavenly celestial body. Layer upon layer, they reached up endlessly into the sky, with no end in sight.
And just like a towering immortal mountain, it stands tall and proud, piercing the clouds and reaching to the furthest reaches of the universe.
Above the clouds, there were faint rays of sunlight and flashes of thunder and lightning.
Qin Sang focused his gaze, making out the scene of the second heaven. He was immediately shocked by what he saw.
There was nothing but utter ruin, with only a few temples remaining.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
And above that, the same!
Unbeknownst to him, Qin Sang was now witnessing the very moment when the Divine Court was first established. It was during this time that the head of the Shenxiao Sect spearheaded the creation of Jiuxiao Jiu Tian, a nine-layered structure reaching from heaven to earth, later known as Leicheng.
After the Second Heavenly Thunder Assembly, Taoism was further established, but the Nine Heavens and Nine Skies were not abandoned. Instead, they connected with the new Divine Court, serving exclusively as the dwelling place for the deities of the thunder department.
The new celestial temple's efficacy revolves around the Zhoutian Xingdou (Celestial Cycle of Constellations). It relies on the Three Palaces, Four Symbols, and Twenty-Eight Mansions to establish thirty-two heavens and define the four cardinal directions and eight extremities. It venerates deities beyond those of the Thunder Department.
By the end, the two divine temples had become indistinguishable.
>
"What a magnificent Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Formation!"
Please provide me with the text you would like me to translate. I'm ready when you are!
Qin Sang retracted his gaze from Leicheng and kept scanning the surroundings, secretly admiring it.
It is evident that the Shen Ting arrangement is not a simple correspondence with star positions, but a hidden formation, profound and mysterious.
I wonder if there is any connection between the Seven Palaces and Boundary Swords Formation and the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Array of Dao Court
Qin Sang couldn't help but recall what the Swordmaster had said about the "Seven Constellations Dividing Sword Formation". Gathering the Three Palaces, Four Symbols, and Twenty-Eight Mansions would create a different kind of spectacle.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
If there were an opportunity to observe in the Divine Court for a period, perhaps Qin Sang could truly use the as a foundation and build the rudimentary form of the Zhoutian Starry Sky Sword Formation.
Unfortunately, the situation does not allow him to do so.
"Roar!"
The golden dragon surged forward with a deafening roar, its neck reins suddenly tightening, bringing its forward momentum to an abrupt halt.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The other end of the rein was held in Qin Sang's hand, pulling it back with all his might.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Even the golden dragon was unwilling to submit, shaking its head and tail constantly, but in the end, it couldn't break free from the reins.
Qin Sang let out a long breath, finally able to barely control the Divine Chariot of Heavenly Patrol.
Although it's not fully in control, it can direct the golden dragon to change its course and prevent it from charging forward.
"Bang!"
Qin Sang pulled on the reins, and the golden dragon shook its head as if unwilling, but it did not disobey. Its tail swished, changing direction and flying westward.
At this moment, pillars of qi surge through the cloud sea, demons are approaching.
Qin Sang wasn't sure what these demons were after by entering the Divine Court. He guessed their target was most likely the Three Palaces region at the heart of the Divine Court.
He naturally wanted to avoid that place as much as possible, subconsciously choosing the Western Seven Constellations he was most familiar with, hoping for peace.
However, judging from Tian Yue Shangren's tone, the demons probably wouldn't let him off the hook. Therefore, Qin Sang dared not relax for a moment and quickly gained control of and familiarity with the Heavenly Divine Chariot.
'Boom!'
‘Boom!’
Boom!
White clouds birth raging waves.
A constant stream of Qi pillars bombarded the sea of clouds, with a deafening roar that shook the surrounding immortal mountains and caused the fairy palaces to tremble.

One black and one green air column first appeared to change, suddenly expanding.
"Hahaha..."
Two illusory figures surged out of the air column, bursting into the divine court amidst maniacal laughter.
The sound of manic laughter reached Qin Sang's ears, causing his blood to surge and his heart to pound. He looked up in horror, seeing two terrifying phantom beasts hovering above the horizon, immense and colossal, clearly the forms of two demon kings!
>
A pitch-black shadow, its entire body covered in obsidian feathers, spread its massive wings, shrouding half the sky in darkness.
Qin Sang felt very familiar, it was the black demon peng who had robbed and killed them outside Gui Shan Zhi's altar that year.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Another demon king's form was a green-scaled serpent, its crimson forked tongue constantly flicking in and out. While it was only half the size of the black demonic peng, its aura was no less imposing.
Fierce demons and celestial beings stand side by side, reaching the pinnacle of heaven. Demonic eyes gaze down upon the divine court.
This scene, this situation, clearly shows a demon is about to take over the fairy palace!
The black demonic peng's eyes darted around, sweeping over the surroundings. It focused on the San Yuan positions before finally raising its head to gaze at the Lei City. It openly expressed its admiration and awe, exclaiming: "Dao Zang did not deceive me. Those old fellows weren't exaggerating."
As he spoke, the black demon peng lightly flapped its wings, revealing a relaxed expression. "It seems that the Demon God is not an illusion. We will be even more at ease in the divine court!"
The scales on the Bi Lin Demon Snake's body slightly opened, making a '沙沙' sound. Red and blue light alternated, flashing as it nodded in approval. It gazed at Leicheng for a moment, staring intently at the Heavenly God's Palanquin.
Its eyeballs were also red, with vertical pupils that glinted with a crimson light.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Qin Sang sat on the divine chariot, facing away from the two demons, yet still felt a chill down his spine, a deep sense of unease in his heart.
“This person must be Dao Ting's Heavenly God Chariot, I wonder where it came from. If the Heavenly God Chariot had always been in Dao Ting's hands, they would have already opened the Divine Court long ago. This treasure has been missing for many years and suddenly appeared. This person must know many secrets! The Heavenly God Chariot could also help us. I will go and detain him, you guys first go to break into the Shenxiao Upper Palace...Old Serpent Demon, do you know where the Shenxiao Upper Palace is”
The black demonic roc also looked over and quickly said.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
The Bi Lin demon snake's eyes turned, giving the black demon peng a cold stare before lifting its head to gaze at the heavens.
Its gaze pierced through the heavens, fixed on the peak of Leicheng.
The Shenxiao Shanggong is located above the nine heavens.
The ranks of the Dao court are divided into three categories: Zhi (職), Zhì (秩), and Wèi (位). For example, Zhang Haichen, also known as Zhang Zhenjun, held the rank of Zheng Erpin (正二品), the position of Shangshu Ling (尚書令) of Tianshuyuan (天樞院), and was a high official of the Jiutian Jinque (九天金闕).
Among them, 'Nine Heavens Golden Que Above the Official' refers to Shenxiao Palace in a narrow sense.
For the Taoist sect, Shenxiao Shanggong holds immense significance. It is where celestial masters reside and all their edicts originate from.
>
Three sessions of the Shenxiao Conclave, sealed the fate of Taoism.
Furthermore, the Shenxiao Shanggong is also at the heart of the Daoist divine court, containing key secrets that control the divine court.
The Great Saint's Edict: Do whatever it takes to control the Heavenly Palace of Shenxiao!
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Good!"
The voice of the Bi Lin demon snake was hoarse, its tone and gaze as cold as ice. It stared at the peak of Lei City, a thoughtful look in its eyes.
"This king goes!"
The black demon peng laughed wildly, its wings flapping hard, a demonic wind whipping up endless clouds of mist. Its black feathers blotted out the sky as it charged furiously at Qin Sang.
The Bi Lin Demon Serpent refused to yield. Its serpentine body swayed lightly, transforming into a crimson streak that shot towards the San Yuan position.
>
Then, other gas pillars emerged with phenomena. Some inevitably met their demise, but most of the gas pillars persisted until now and are able to barely remain stable.
More and more demons are entering the Divine Court.
The fairyland is about to become a demon's world! (End of chapter)”Bai suddenly opened his eyes, roared, pinched a seal, and the demon-binding rope on Jade Bone shattered inch by inch. The remaining power erupted all at once.Then, Bai's whole body twitched and crack...
