Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint
Chapter 164 Heading to the East China Sea
Chapter 164 Heading to the East China Sea (asking for monthly tickets!)
In Qi Yu’s view, the Three Emperors’ position, as the orthodox seat of the Heavenly Court and the important foundation for the rotation of the Five Gods, naturally cannot be held for a long time by certain lineages as in the past.
However, the Three Emperors Taoist Palace is the seat of the gods’ legal system. Even if it is to be abolished, it will not be done in a short time. Therefore, Qi Yu made a certain compromise and prepared to set up nine Dao Zun positions in Xuanmen, existing independently of the Heavenly Court and with the same status as the leader of a sect, so as to separate the legal system from the position of karma itself.
This solution may seem to encounter great resistance, but in reality it is not.
Because, there is no emperor among the three emperors. This is because the positions of the Three Emperors can all serve as the foundation for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, to bear the authority of the Heavenly Dao, but there can only be one Heavenly Emperor. Therefore, it is impossible for two perfect emperors to appear in the same era.
Just like from ancient times to the present, the Emperor of Heaven died, the Emperor of Earth came into being, and after the Emperor of Earth passed away, the Emperor of Man came to rule all spirits. After the Emperor of Man, Taiyi came to the throne as the second Emperor of Heaven. In the Taiyi era, even though the Queen of Purple Light was the Emperor and Empress of Heaven and shared power with Taiyi, she could only seize the throne of the Emperor of Man as the Queen of Heaven, rather than becoming the Emperor of Man.
Every generation of the God Emperor is unique and will inevitably become the Emperor of Heaven. Therefore, the Three Emperors have never truly coexisted. There never was in the past, there never is now, and probably won’t be in the future.
And if one wants to complete the Three Emperors’ Dao Fruit without being a Heavenly Emperor, it is obvious that this cannot be done under the Hunyuan. In Qi Yu’s speculation, unless a true saint appears one day, perhaps he can achieve this step with the power of Hunyuan. But isn’t it obviously more difficult to prove the Dao and become a saint than to ascend the throne of Heavenly Emperor?
Therefore, this question is completely unsolvable –
One emperor per generation will become an iron rule.
And this is exactly the situation that Emperor Hong needs to face. In fact, unless he can overwhelm all the heroes and become the Central Heavenly Emperor of a certain era, otherwise, he can only hold the throne of the Human Emperor. If he is lucky, he may be able to take the throne, but it is absolutely hopeless for him to become the Human Emperor.
Under such circumstances, Qi Yu only needs to grant him the title of Taoist Master and help him preserve the legal system of the Human Emperor, and that would be enough.
As for the throne of the Emperor, if Emperor Hong is truly determined to live up to his expectations, he will certainly have a chance to take over the throne.
If not, it would be no wonder that Qi Yu did not help him. It was just that his own cultivation was not good enough.
In addition to the lineage of the Human Emperor, Qi Yu can obviously use the same method to deal with the lineages of the Heavenly Emperor and the Earthly Emperor, and it may even be simpler.
For example, the lineage of the Emperor of Earth has only two heirs, Nuwa and Hou Tu. Nuwa is bound to take turns, and the transaction has naturally been completed long ago. As for Hou Tu, according to Qi Yu’s arrangement, whether she is willing or not, she will eventually reincarnate.
A descendant of the Emperor of Earth who cannot leave the Netherworld certainly does not have much say. At most, Qi Yu can give him a nominal title of Heavenly Venerable and respect Hou Tu as the leader of the Netherworld. Moreover, this treatment can only be given on the premise that Hou Tu can be reincarnated alive.
As for the lineage of the Emperor of Heaven, there is no need to mention it. After Taiyi passed away, he dealt with Emperor Jun. How could there be any other successors in the lineage of the Emperor of Heaven?
At worst, we can let Fuxi be the Taoist master of the Heavenly Emperor’s lineage. At least, it can also bring together the three elements of heaven, earth and man, and complete the destiny of the universe, which is also a good deed.
It can be said that Qi Yu’s idea was extremely shameless, but in terms of legal theory, it did have a lot of room for maneuver, especially when Xuanmen’s fist was obviously bigger and the general trend was about to take shape, the gods were destined to not have many objections. Qi Yu gave them a way out, and they just had to accept it.
After hearing this, Queen Mother of the West was speechless, thinking that Qi Yu’s method was indeed a bit shameless, but it must be said that it was indeed a highly feasible method.
“And with this method, the responsibility of Xuanmen’s teaching and the authority of the Heavenly Court to govern the world will be further divided, which is also a bit beneficial.”
“At that time, the Five Gods will rule the world as rotating Heavenly Emperors, and establish the Five Emperors’ Dao Lineage to inherit the throne. The three great leaders will be the Taoist ancestors of the Xuanmen Sect, and will be ranked among the Dao Lords. The rotating leader will be the head of the nine Dao Lords, and will be in charge of the teachings of the Heavenly Dao.”
“In this way, under the same immortal path, Xuanmen and Tianting can be said to have settled down in their respective places.”
After hearing what Qi Yu said, Queen Mother of the West actually felt that Qi Yu’s idea was interesting. Of course, no matter how good the design was, it could not guarantee that there would be no problems in the execution process. For example, in a system like this, only one Hunyuan was needed to completely break the situation.
But if the variables were not taken into consideration, Queen Mother of the West thought that it would be difficult for her to come up with a better system, so she finally nodded in praise.
“What Daoyou said makes sense. If we can arrange it this way, there will indeed be many benefits.”
The Queen Mother of the West did not say anything more. In fact, she was not without other concerns. For example, there were already nine great ancestor positions in the Xuanmen sect. If nine more Dao Zuns were set up, would they conflict with each other?
But considering that establishing the immortal heaven is the general trend, everything will have to give way to it, and the nine great ancestors may not necessarily not be reshuffled, and Qi Yu has the support of the Three Pure Ones, she finally did not say anything more.
No matter how big the problem is, Qi Yu is obviously going to take the path of breaking all laws with one force. As for educating the people and proving the Tao of Hunyuan, the Three Pure Ones will definitely stand on Qi Yu’s side and become their most staunch supporters.
In this case, why should she worry about anything?
After confirming some more details, this meeting about Xuanmen’s future plans almost came to an end. After Qi Yu expressed that he might go to the East China Sea and the earth respectively, the Queen Mother of the West couldn’t help but hold her forehead with her hand.
She now feels more and more that she is not Qi Yu’s ally, but the latter’s logistical support. If she thinks about it carefully, Qi Yu, the Emperor Dongyuan, is not in the Dongji Ancestral Court most of the time. Even the affairs of the Water Palace are mostly handed over to Wenjia Daojun under his command.
He himself was just a hands-off boss. He was either practicing enlightenment or running around outside. He hardly ever governed the Dongji ancestral temple. However, he made rapid progress in his practice and received full support from the Three Pure Ones. He had an extremely high status in the Xuanmen.
Looking at myself, I work hard but get little benefit, and my progress in cultivation is just mediocre in comparison.
Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry. Qi Yu is really annoying!
The more she thought about it, the more Queen Mother of the West felt like she didn’t want to say anything. Although Qi Yu completely couldn’t understand her inexplicable emotions, he also felt that there was no need to continue the conversation at this moment.
Besides, he didn’t want to waste any more time, so he quickly said goodbye to the Queen Mother of the West and left the Yaochi Palace.
After returning to the Dongyuan Palace, Qi Yu also did not stay for long. He just entrusted some things to Wenjia Daojun and asked him to send messages to the Heavenly Water Palace and the Black Water Abyss respectively. Then he left the Dongji Ancestral Court again. This time, his target was the East China Sea, the Guixu area.
……
This road from East Kunlun to the East China Sea was not the first time Qi Yu had walked it, so he was quite familiar with it. However, the more distant Guixu area was not so easy to reach.
After all, Guixu is the abyss that is truly located at the bottom of the world. It contains the deepest destructive power in the world. It can be said to be one of the sources of countless calamities. It truly possesses the power to destroy the world and is the origin of the ultimate trend of the world’s Xuanming doomsday!
Such a place of extinction is naturally also a place where cause and effect have been annihilated. In the initial years, the place of Guixu actually had no fixed place, but wandered throughout the four seas.
Until the time when the Emperor of Heaven Cangli passed away and the Emperor of Earth had not yet truly arrived, a catastrophe was brewing in Guixu. Qi Yu’s predecessor, Yujiang, sacrificed himself to quell the disaster and took the opportunity to stabilize Guixu, locking it in a void area in the deepest part of the East China Sea.
From then on, the location of Guixu was considered to be fixed, but it never appeared in the world again, and it has been difficult for people to detect its whereabouts.
Until the battle at the end of the ancient times, the three tribes and the demons fought each other, almost destroying the prehistoric world and causing great suffering to the four seas. The Ancestral Dragon, who had committed extreme karma, took the opportunity to suppress the Return Ruins with his body, preserving some of the vitality of the dragon clan, offsetting a large amount of their karma, and also gaining a chance to survive. It was at that time that the Return Ruins appeared briefly in the world, and the world was able to catch a glimpse and realize the root power of the Great Dao of Destruction in the Return Ruins.
As for Zulong who chose to “atone his sins” by being imprisoned in Guixu forever, he certainly did so without paying a price. The way of heaven is not something that a mere Zulong can calculate.
As a price, not only is he imprisoned forever by the Heavenly Dao in the Eye of the Guixu Sea, no longer able to interfere with the situation in the prehistoric world, but more importantly, he must continue to endure the constant erosion of the destructive force from Guixu, using his own origin to eliminate the calamity that is constantly brewing in it, in order to prolong the time for the arrival of the infinite calamity as much as possible.
This is no longer a hard job, but the most terrible and long-lasting kind of torture and punishment in the world. It is because of the merits of heaven that Zulong was able to support the long years by eliminating the great catastrophe in the ancient times.
Otherwise, even if the destructive power in Guixu today is not as violent as when the catastrophe was brewing, it is definitely not something that Hunyuan can withstand. Under that kind of pressure, even if Zulong was stronger than Yujiang in the last years of the Emperor of Heaven when he entered Guixu, he would definitely not be able to survive for a moment!
However, it is precisely because of this that the land of Guixu can appear in the void for a long time under the anchoring of the Heavenly Dao, which also makes it possible for outsiders to go here.
Of course, considering the danger of Guixu, a strong man at the level of Quasi-Saint Heavenly Venerable would not approach there casually, for fear of being accidentally involved in it and directly perishing.
Among the powerful Heavenly Lords, there are even fewer who are interested in Guixu. Even for the Demonic Heavenly Lord and the End Heavenly Lord who are practicing the Great Way of Destruction and walking on the road to annihilation, there is really no need for them to take risks in Guixu and gamble on whether they will encounter any accidents.
In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that there had been no news from Shanshi for a long time and that there was indeed an opportunity for him in Guixu, Qi Yu would never have rashly approached Guixu.
It’s a pity that things have come to this point now. Whether he likes it or not, he has to take this journey.
Qi Yu was also very cautious along the way. The situation in the East China Sea was very complicated now, and Qi Yu did not want any additional changes to occur on this trip. He only wanted to complete the Guixu trip as soon as possible. Therefore, he was very vigilant and did not leave any traces along the way in order to avoid alerting the enemy.
In order to avoid the people from Zulongting and Chunyang lineage, and also not wanting to meet the possible powerful demons, Qi Yu even chose to take a detour to avoid risks along the way as much as possible.
With Qi Yu’s current level of cultivation, he has been cautious enough, so naturally there won’t be any problems.
In this way, Qi Yu traveled safely along the way, bypassing the area where Xuanmen and Zulongting were confronting each other, and without attracting anyone’s attention, he went straight to the deep sea and void area at the beginning of the East China Sea, and from there went to Guixu.
……
As Qi Yu continued on his way and was about to reach his destination, in the East China Sea, at the Ancestral Dragon Court, the Dragon Mother was also talking to Lord Mori.
“Your Majesty is still too anxious. Fortunately, I left a backup plan and did not leave any evidence to Xuanmen. Otherwise, Your Majesty would inevitably be in a state of panic this time.”
Mori smiled, as if it had nothing to do with him. What he was talking about was, of course, that the Dragon Mother sent the newly promoted Heavenly Masters of the Dragon Clan to fight for the Shuiyuan Taoist Palace, but they were caught in one fell swoop by Qi Yu and all of them were killed, and the Heavenly Master who led the team was also captured.
And this matter was indeed as Morley said. If the Demon Sect had not left a backup plan in advance, I am afraid that the many arrangements made by the Demon Sect in the Ancestral Dragon Court would have been fully exposed before they were launched.
Even though Taiyi is now focused on attacking Hunyuan and ignoring state affairs, that’s because the situation is not big enough!
If he were to learn that the powerful demon who was suspected of attacking the Queen of Purple Light had reappeared, and this time had brought the dragon clan into collusion with him, do you think Taiyi would be directly provoked to come out again, sweeping the land and killing demons to defend the way, and then settle the cause and effect of the past?
It can be said that the secret move of Lord Mori really helped the Dragon Mother and the Ancestral Dragon Court a lot, and it can also be said to be a very successful self-rescue.
From this perspective, the Mother of Dragons should thank them!
Unfortunately, at this moment, the Dragon Mother obviously did not think so. Her face was gloomy, her eyes were cold, and she stared closely at the Lord Mori in front of her.
“Moli, you have crossed the line! I don’t remember giving you the power to secretly plant a backup plan in the origin of my clan’s strong men!”
At this moment, the Dragon Mother was very dissatisfied. Admittedly, she also knew that the Ancestral Dragon Court had escaped disaster this time, but this did not mean that the Dragon Mother was willing to punish Mori. On the contrary, she hated it and was still frightened. It was the first time that she felt the harm of seeking the skin of a tiger.
Unfortunately, now that they are on the Demon Sect’s ship, the Dragon Clan has no chance of escaping successfully. They can only choose to go all the way and continue to accept the Demon Sect’s “help”.
Of course, even though there is no chance to get off once on the pirate ship, the Dragon Mother still wants to take this opportunity to express her dissatisfaction as a warning to the Demon Sect for crossing the line.
In order to show her attitude and position, at this moment, the Dragon Mother even did not hesitate to use a part of the foundation left by the Ancestral Dragon in the Black Emperor’s Palace. For a moment, her aura was monstrous, and the terrifying power of water seemed to be able to suppress the ages, vast and boundless.
Mori accepted this well and did not take it as an offense at all, because at the moment, his real body was not here, but he just left behind a clone that carried part of his original body’s Taoism. Even if it was damaged, it would not be that important. In fact, the Dragon Mother was not aware of this matter.
Naturally, in order to make better use of the dragon clan in the future, Mori still had an expression of humility in accepting the offer.
In this regard, the Dragon Mother was actually very clear in her heart that the other party’s expression was a true reflection of the fact that he did not take her words to heart at all. However, she still had no choice but to do so. Even though she appeared to be strong on the outside but weak on the inside, she could not retreat even a single step.
Today’s dragon clan has already lost its last retreat, and the Ancestral Dragon Court has paid too much. What else can they do except keep going?
From the moment the Dragon Mother made the decision, the dragon clan had no other choice!
Just like this, Morley seemed to be showing weakness, but in fact she was extremely tough, and the Mother of Dragons seemed tough, but in fact she was already empty inside. After the two of them “confronted” each other in such a weird atmosphere for a long time, Morley finally gave in first, giving the Mother of Dragons, who was holding on to her airs, a way out.
“Well, Madam, we have indeed crossed the line this time. I hope you can forgive us.”
After Molly said this, the Dragon Mother naturally could not continue to be so arrogant. In the end, she took the initiative to restrain her aura and then sat down again with Molly.
“The situation in Xuanmen has changed. The one who is suppressing Penglai Island now is Dong Wanggong. However, although he is the Lord of Dongji in name, he is actually exiled.”
“I wonder if the Queen has any plans for this person?”
At this moment, Mori asked with a smile, but the Dragon Mother frowned.
“I have my own arrangements. It is not your turn to worry about such matters!”
The attitude of the Dragon Mother is as tough as ever, but in fact, she is not confident enough. The arrival of the King of the East and the preparations of Xuanmen have given the Dragon Mother a headache. At this moment, she is trying hard to think and come up with a proper arrangement.
Speaking of which, today is already the 6th, and the event will end soon. Friends who have monthly tickets, please vote during the double period! Thank you for your support!
