Another method is to directly imprint the rules onto the world, which are then executed by the Heavenly Dao.
The first one is alright; as long as it's executed by people, there will always be loopholes to exploit.
The second option is more troublesome.
Heaven is ruthless.
The laws of Heaven are strict and unpredictable.
Even a saint would be at a loss when faced with such rules.
Zhang Taixuan looked at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing: "You made mistakes before the Heavenly Rules were established, so punishing you feels a bit like killing someone without teaching them. How about this, Tang Xuanzang, I will allow you to guide them to start anew and return to the right path after they have redeemed themselves through reincarnation."
Xuanzang: "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."
Pigsy and Sandy exchanged a glance and obediently bowed, saying, "Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."
After saying that, he moved and transformed into a stream of light, heading straight into the cycle of reincarnation.
Zhang Taixuan looked at the other gods and immortals, his gaze falling on those demons and monsters who had become immortals and had experience eating people.
"You have rendered meritorious service in vanquishing demons. Your achievements and merits will be recorded for now. Now, go back to your cycle of reincarnation." Zhang Taixuan waved his hand, and a beam of mysterious light fell upon everyone. "This spiritual light can help your true spirits remain undisturbed and return after your tribulations are complete. After reincarnation, if you wish to become a god, you can be appointed a god based on your merits. If you wish to gain your freedom, you can also retrieve the true spirit imprint from the Investiture of the Gods."
"Thank you, Heavenly Lord."
Everyone was overjoyed.
Reincarnation is something that is originally very frightening.
After all, without becoming a Golden Immortal, one cannot achieve true spiritual clarity.
If they reincarnate too many times, they will no longer be the same people they were.
Now that the Celestial Venerable has intervened, there's naturally no problem.
More importantly, what they've been dreaming of for millions of years is finally about to come true—freedom!
This made them extremely happy.
Although the merit of vanquishing the demon has not yet been rewarded, the freedom is real.
"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable. We shall now proceed to reincarnation."
The crowd clasped their hands in greeting, their bodies transforming into spiritual light as they rushed towards the cycle of hell.
They couldn't wait a moment longer.
The other immortals of the Jie Sect in Heaven were envious.
Unexpectedly, these fellow disciples received the Celestial Venerable's permission earlier because of their sins.
This is absolutely wonderful!
Everyone couldn't help but turn their gaze to Zhang Taixuan.
Zhang Taixuan naturally understood everyone's thoughts and said with a smile, "You all don't need to be in such a hurry."
With a wave of his hand, everyone immediately felt a tremendous change in their divine bodies.
"It's a physical body! We now possess physical bodies!"
"Me too!"
"The Celestial Venerable is too powerful. With a wave of his hand, he gave so many of us physical bodies. Moreover, I feel that this body has enormous potential, even stronger than before he died. If we cultivate with it, we can definitely reach a higher realm."
"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable."
Everyone saluted quickly.
He admired Zhang Taixuan's supernatural abilities even more.
so horrible.
This art of manipulating creation could probably directly recreate the scene of Nuwa creating humans.
With a wave of his hand, he created the physical bodies of so many gods.
This is simply unimaginable.
"Rise. Your mission is not yet over. If you wish to become a wandering immortal, find someone else to take your place and become an immortal. I will remove the True Spirit Mark from you. If you wish to continue as immortals, you can continue to retain your fortune and merits. Furthermore, with your previous merits from subduing demons, you can advance even further."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the crowd varied.
After having a physical body, people's feelings about fortune and incense offerings are very different.
Before they had physical bodies, they always felt that incense offerings, fortune, and merit were of little use, and even if they cultivated for hundreds of millions of years, they could not improve their realm.
Having a physical body makes the feeling quite different.
With the blessings of merit, fortune, and incense offerings, their cultivation speed is much faster than before they became immortals.
The benefits of attaining the status of a deity are immense for people with physical bodies.
At this moment, they finally understood why those cultivators who followed the Celestial Venerable wanted to go to Mount Ling to become Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
There's no other reason than that the benefits are enormous.
"Heavenly Venerable One, can we really continue to be gods?" someone asked cautiously.
Zhang Taixuan laughed and said, "Why not? Although you may not say you love the people like your own children for millions of years, you have been dutiful and have made great contributions. It is only right that you continue to be gods."
"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable. We are willing to continue to be gods, to wield the power in our hands, and to assist the Heavenly Venerable in governing the Three Realms."
Zhang Taixuan nodded: "Alright."
Ultimately, only a very small number of immortals were willing to give up their divine achievements and fortune to descend to the mortal realm as wandering cultivators.
"Zhao Gongming, I hereby bestow upon you the title of Heavenly Emperor of this realm. Are you willing?"
"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable. Zhao Gongming is willing."
"Yunxiao, I hereby bestow upon you the title of the Supreme Emperor of the North Pole of this Realm. Are you willing?"
"Thank you, Heavenly Venerable. I am willing."
"Biyou, I hereby bestow upon you the title of the Great Emperor of Gouchen Palace, to vanquish demons and monsters of the Three Realms and to educate the immortals and demons of the Three Realms. All those of high moral character and perfect cultivation may ascend to immortality. Are you willing?"
Biyou was stunned.
She never expected that she would be involved in this matter.
She's just a Golden Immortal.
Is it really safe to sit in such a high position?
"Brother Daojun, can I really do it well?"
Zhang Taixuan laughed and said, "Don't forget, we've got your backing."
Upon hearing this, Biyou smiled brightly and said, "In that case, Biyou thanks Brother Daojun for the bestowal of the title."
As soon as she finished speaking, she sensed a surge of fortune descending upon her, and in an instant, her cultivation speed increased countless times.
Zhang Taixuan bestowed titles in turn, granting the positions of the Six Emperors to the Three Immortals of Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, Biyou, and Donghua Dijun.
"As for the remaining divine positions, those who should be promoted should be promoted, and those who are lacking should be selected from among the ascendants. This matter is entrusted to you six rulers."
Zhao Gongming led the five men and quickly bowed, saying, "We obey the Heavenly Venerable's decree."
Just then, a figure crept over furtively.
"Brother Taixuan, I've found something good!"
Zhang Taixuan laughed and said, "It's a peach tree, isn't it?"
Su Xiaoxiao beamed, "I knew I couldn't hide it from Brother Taixuan."
With a thought, a miniature peach tree appeared in his hand.
"Peaches that ripen only once every nine thousand years, hehe, it's just a pity there aren't enough for us to share." Su Xiaoxiao said with some regret.
Zhang Taixuan laughed and said, "What's so difficult about that?"
He took the peach tree, and with a flick of his wrist, the single peach instantly multiplied into thousands, falling before the crowd.
"This mission is now complete. Besides the merits and fortune bestowed by Heaven, these ten peaches are the reward."

"I lost it!"
"Wholesale peaches!"
"Thank you, Brother Taixuan!"
The crowd cheered.
Su Xiaoxiao threw the peach tree into her own grotto-world and then asked, "Brother Taixuan, are these peaches genuine?"
Zhang Taixuan was speechless: "Do you think I'd give you a fake one? Don't worry, it's just a minor supernatural power—a mere manifestation of a peach tree."
"Ugh, stop pretending." Su Xiaoxiao covered her eyes. "This pretentious air is blinding me."
Yunxiao chuckled: "Su Xiaoxiao, you're so mischievous."
Qiongxiao snorted: "If this were our world, you would have been suppressed for billions of years if you dared to speak to a saint like that."
