Chapter 206: The Eye of the Emperor, the Inscription on the Rescue

The arrival of the gods caused a stir in the East and the West. The event was a huge sensation and a major reshuffle of Western beliefs. The Three-Eyed and Yitian version of Nestorianism completely overwhelmed other branches of faith. The Roman Kingdom took over most of Europe and became the Roman Empire.

The sea is vast, the waves are thousands of feet high, and huge ships are sailing on the sea.

Standing at the bow was a short-haired young man wearing a golden-yellow Roman royal costume with a sword and three-eye pattern, quite reminiscent of the Central Plains royal family style.

This person was none other than the Roman Emperor Charlotte the Firebearer.

Behind Charlotte are the extraordinary people of Europe, including the Nestorian Archbishop, eight cardinals, and seven holy knights.

At least they have the foundation-building level of cultivation, but there are no golden elixir-level cultivators.

The monks from the East and the West joined forces to defeat the devil and achieved great results. The next step is to establish the spheres of influence of both sides and start friendly trade.

"Cheer up and show the Ming people how powerful we are!"

"Great Knight Da Vinci, please straighten your collar. We are Catholic orthodox. Don't let the Orientals look down on us."

These people were the ruling class in Europe. They knew that the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, but they were orthodox Nestorians and descendants of God, and they could not lose face.

Soon, the ship docked at Ningbo Port.

The sight before them left them dumbfounded.

Thousands of boats were racing against each other, masts were like a forest, and cargo was flowing like clouds in the four seas. What they thought were huge warships were actually large ships carrying cargo.

The ship docked and envoys from the Ming Dynasty came to receive it.

"The Ming people didn't lie. They didn't fight the Demon Kingdom because it would be a loss, not because they don't have the ability."

Everyone was frustrated. Perhaps the Ming people didn't need their strength at all. All the Roman Kingdom could do was take over the mess on land.

Charlotte asked the messenger, "Is this your largest port?"

The messenger shook his head and smiled, saying, "Not really. We have five ports as big as this one, and a dozen smaller ones."

Everyone was so shocked that they were speechless for a long time.

The porters on both sides of the dock squatted down to eat with bowls in their hands. When they saw the Westerners, they did not look surprised or scared, but rather looked normal, as there was no shortage of exotic foreigners here.

Only then did everyone notice the food in the porters' bowls. There was shiny fat, juicy green vegetables, and many spices that were very precious in Europe.

"Is this how people in the Ming Dynasty eat?" Charlotte didn't think much of what happened before, after all, he had always remembered that the Ming Dynasty was very powerful. However, he was shocked by the food in the bowls of the common people.

"Not really. The dock laborers have a higher income and eat meat once a day, while ordinary citizens eat meat once every three days. Country people eat meat once every six or seven days, maybe."

"Tsk tsk, the Ming Kingdom is really rich."

Ordinary citizens have the standards of the aristocracy.

At dusk, everyone ate and drank their fill in the courtyard.

Only then did Charlotte ask the official, "When will we meet the emperor? Where are the sages of the Shenzhou Dao Sect?"

This time he brought all the elite troops from Europe, hoping to regain some face in terms of momentum.

If the other party doesn't come, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

"coming!"

Wow!
At this moment, a fiery red light path streaked across the dark night sky, and the blazing Samadhi Fire formed a fireball, which looked like an aerial carriage speeding towards them.

The temperature rose suddenly, and everyone's faces felt hot, as if they were being roasted in a furnace.

The fireball stopped, revealing a big man with a red face and beard, wearing golden armor and a red robe, and three angry eyes.

The moment this person appeared, all the Westerners were instantly overwhelmed by his aura.

"The tenth generation of the Great Celestial Master of the Divine Sky, Wang Lingguan, also known as the True Lord Huoche, greets all of you fellow Taoists!!"

Wang Lingguan spoke Chinese, but some Western officials who did not understand Chinese could understand him. This showed that his spiritual power was so strong that it could directly transcend language and project information into people's consciousness.

Wang Lingguan has a rare three-eyed bloodline. According to legend, his ancestors were direct descendants of the Li Tang Dynasty, who changed their surnames to seek refuge due to war.

After seeing this scene, the arrogant Westerners knew that they were defeated without fighting.

The next day.

The Westerners came to Jiankang Palace to discuss their interests with Emperor Zhu Yunwen and the cabinet ministers.

In the autumn of the third year of Jianwen, a new situation began as Charlotte, the Fire Bearer, put pen to paper.

The oceans were peaceful, and the Maritime Silk Road was opened, creating an unprecedented era of prosperity.

The Ming Dynasty's unique vassal system enabled its territory to expand to an unprecedented level.

It is called in history: Tianjing Jiankang tribute system.

After the meeting, everyone did not leave, but strolled around Jiankang City.

At this time, Ming Dynasty societies were rampant among the people, including opera societies, Jiangzuo literary societies, Lingnan maritime trading societies, and various other societies.

“Mr. Leonardo, we in the Central Plains worship gods but do not believe in them. The practice of inner alchemy originated from Liu An, flourished from Liang Shanbo and Lingbao, and was developed to perfection by Dong Wanggong. There is a legend that Liang Gong, Lingbao and Dong Wanggong are a trinity.” The new knowledge he came into contact with shocked Leonardo’s three views. It turned out that Nestorianism was not unique, and the Holy Knights were originally the Pure Yang Gong of the Central Plains.

"I am sitting...sitting in a well and looking at the world."

"Fellow Daoist, please don't say that. The Nestorianist's method of breaking through faith also has its merits. I have benefited a lot from it." Yao Guangxiao, a young man of the new generation of Maoshan Sect, said.

A group of young monks from all over the world chatted and discussed everything, except the sect's secret manuals, but they could share everything else such as cultivation experience, observations, and strange things.

These people include the Zhu royal family, the sons of the marquis of the previous dynasty, the maritime merchant families, the overseas princes, the Taoist geniuses, as well as overseas eccentrics like Leonardo da Vinci and local lords.

After ten days of conversation, some people were still not satisfied and prepared to go home.

"My fellow Taoists, please remember to write to me in the future. Da Vinci and William, please remember to send me more of your experiences in the West."

"Of course, of course." Da Vinci imitated the Central Plains people's way of clasping their fists.

One person suddenly came up with an idea.

"Why don't we set up a club to facilitate future exchanges and organize our experiences and knowledge, so as to live up to today's meeting."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone agreed.

"As for the name of the company..."

"Bai Yujing!"

"Fairyland!"

"How is Qingshan?"

"No, too many people have used it. It's a cliché."

"Freemasonry?"

"I don't know what to say."

The group of people kept chattering and some people were getting annoyed. If they couldn't even agree on a name, how could they be in the same boat?

A calm monk said, "Why not call it the Heavenly Eye Society? The Heavenly Eye is the eye of the Heavenly Emperor, which illuminates all things and has insight into the Great Dao. It fits our purpose of discussing the Great Dao."

"Alright, alright, that's it."

It's just an ordinary company, not a sect.

The Tianyan Society's purpose is to "work together and forge ahead". The pattern is a sparkling eye, symbolizing the eye of the Emperor of Heaven. Around the eye are "rules", "rules" and "books", symbolizing the order of heaven and earth and the laws of the Tao.

They agreed to exchange letters and meet in Jiankang every ten years.

The first generation leader of the company was Yao Guangxiao from the Maoshan sect.

"Haha, come on, come on, let's have a drink! Celebrate today!"

Everyone raised their glasses, drank the last glass of wine, and then went their separate ways.

As the ship sailed away and Da Vinci looked at the gradually shrinking coastline, he glanced at the jade pendant in his hand. In the center of the jade pendant was the Eye of the Emperor of Heaven.

"My friend from the East, take care. I will remember today's banquet."

Everyone is scattered all over the place, and no one knows what impact today's actions will have on future generations.

Penglai Island, Kuaiji Mountain.

A mysterious figure descended here and paced beside Jian Lake, the moonlight making the water sparkle.

The Taoist figure by the lake seems real but not real, and seems unreal but not unreal.

"The Vacuum Tribulation..."

Liang Yue pondered the future catastrophe.

The vacuum catastrophe of the universe should be similar to the vacuum catastrophe that ghost immortals experience when they undergo the catastrophe, when they lose all their magic powers and become mortals.

"But the way of cultivation creates its own world, which helps to resist the vacuum."

Of course, changes in the environment will definitely affect the practice of Taoism. There may no longer be spells with strong destructive power, and the cultivator's body may become much weaker.

"Forget it, let's talk about the future later. We have already crossed the Northern and Southern Dynasties."

In any case, these few hundred years have been very enjoyable and no one has the ability to threaten him.

In the future when technology is advanced, I am afraid this will not be the case, and most people will be more stable.

Liang Yue walked to the rock, took out the sword of Shoushan, shaved the rock flat, and engraved words on it.

"In the year of Jiazi, there is no leap month. The world is in calamity, and the vacuum appears..."

A long and eloquent inscription on the stele predicts a great vacuum in the future.

The pen fell and the wind and rain started. A heavy rainstorm came down. Liang Yue took off into the sky in the heavy rain and was never seen again.
