Chapter 177 Qi Yu’s Solution

The Emperor’s Palace, as the central heavenly palace where the ancient Emperor Cangli lived and ruled the world, was once the supreme palace where all the ancient gods worshipped together. It is also regarded as the origin of the great way of the gods and was called Luotian Dao Palace. It had an extremely high status in those days.

Apart from anything else, during the reign of the Emperor of Heaven, Qi Yu’s predecessor Yujiang was one of the important ministers of the gods in the Emperor of Heaven’s Palace. Many gods and celestial beings worshipped the Emperor of Heaven here and established the first heavenly court. The gods ruled the world from here, each performing their own duties, which led to the initial glorious years.

Later, in the era of the two ancient celestial emperors, Emperor of Earth and Emperor of Man, the Palace of the Emperor of Heaven still played a vital role. From then on, the Emperor of Heaven was responsible for governing the celestial bodies, regulating the movement of the stars, and resisting the repeated invasions from the chaos.

Until now, when Taiyi came to the throne and used the Miluo Palace as a symbol of the co-governance of the gods to appease all the lineages, the Emperor’s Palace has been completely idle, serving only as a symbol of heaven rather than the Emperor’s Palace.

Of course, even though it has been idle for many years, the Emperor’s Palace still has a very important position in the current structure of the Heavenly Court. As the seat of the Emperor’s legal system and the foundation for the development of the Heavenly Court, it even carries part of the fortune of the gods and exists as the foundation for the establishment of the Heavenly Court.

Because of this, even to this day, the legal system of Heaven has undergone several lineage transfers, this ancient temple is still located in the central area of ​​the entire Juntian Heavenly Realm. From the location point of view, it is even closer to the center of Heaven than the Earth Emperor Palace and Human Emperor Palace, which are also part of the Three Emperors Temples!

At this moment, Qi Yu drove straight in and finally arrived in front of the Emperor’s Palace. Looking at the plaque of this former main hall of heaven, he felt filled with emotion.

After all, he had discussed politics in this hall many times in the past. At that time, he was still the Water Ancestor of Heaven. Although he did not have the title of Black Emperor, he was almost the Black Emperor in reality. He occupied one of the five directions of the prehistoric world, and even the Ancestral Dragon was suppressed by him.

Unfortunately, times have changed. He has now returned for the second time and is no longer the original Water Ancestor of Heaven. His old friends from the past have either died or have secluded themselves from the world and will never appear again.

Qi Yu had never thought that one day he would be able to taste the changes of the world so clearly. He was even speechless for a moment. So, after sorting out his thoughts, Qi Yu raised his head again and stepped into the Emperor’s Palace.

“Meet His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven.”

As soon as he entered the hall, Qi Yu bowed slightly and saluted Taiyi who was not far away.

At this moment, the Taitian Emperor was standing with his back to Qi Yu. After hearing the voice, he slowly turned around and said.

“Stand up.”

“This is not a court meeting, so Emperor Xishen does not need to be so reserved.”

“Thank you, Your Majesty.”

Qi Yu stood up as he was told, but still observed the etiquette, not wanting to leave any excuses for Taiyi to attack.

At the same time, taking the opportunity to pay his respects, he was also looking at the Emperor’s Palace in front of him. The furnishings in the palace were not much different from the past, but at this moment, in the huge temple, there were only Taiyi and himself.

Apart from this, all the divine servants, heavenly officials, and guards were not in the hall at the moment. It was obvious that Taiyi had dismissed them in advance. So it seemed that this matter should be a private matter and not some insignificant matter.

If my guess is correct, then what Taiyi is going to say next must be related to the Purple Light Queen.

While Qi Yu was looking at the Emperor’s Palace, Taiyi was also looking at Qi Yu in front of him, and spoke only after being noticed by the latter.

“Emperor Xishen, does the Emperor’s Palace feel any different from the past?”

Taiyi spoke, and although he still had a smile on his face, his words were full of deep meaning. It was obvious that his words had a specific meaning.

Hearing this, Qi Yu was not surprised. When he “killed” Minghe that day, he briefly summoned the power of the Tao fruit from the past. In a hurry, he did not try to conceal his own aura, so his true background was completely exposed to the eyes of several powerful people in the world.

It was precisely for this reason that Qi Yu had already been prepared for the scene before him. When Taiyi pointed it out to him, he naturally felt nothing in his heart.

In response to Taiyi’s question, he just said.

“From what I have seen, there is not much difference, except that the palace is no longer as grand as it once was.”

“You are a sincere person.”

Hearing Qi Yu’s answer, Taiyi raised his eyebrows slightly, but was not surprised. He just quietly changed the way he addressed Qi Yu. Emperor Xishen might not be qualified to have an equal dialogue with the Emperor of Heaven, but Yujiang was qualified to be equal to Taiyi.

Qi Yu didn’t have any special reaction to this and just smiled.

“Your Majesty, thank you for your compliment. However, I know that Your Majesty already has the answer. Why do you need to make excuses? It only makes you look like you have something to hide.”

“Daoyou is open-minded.”

Taiyi nodded, and then continued.

“However, as far as I know, fellow Daoist fell in the ancient times and died in the sacrifice of Guixu Avenue.”

“But now, fellow Daoist has returned and created a miracle that the three ancient emperors have never achieved.”

“Moreover, the land of Guixu is the source of the destruction of heaven and earth, and the place where the end of the world is brewing. Even if I am the Emperor of Heaven and my god is one with the sky, I have no confidence that I can escape from it unscathed.”

“Although you were extremely powerful back then, human power is limited. How did you manage to return?”

To be honest, Taiyi’s words were a bit impolite, but objective enough.

After all, he is indeed the undisputed strongest man in the world. Even compared with the Three Ancient Emperors on the eve of their enlightenment, he is not much worse. He can be said to be the strongest existence under Hunyuan.

What he couldn’t do was accomplished by Qi Yu, who was even worse than him. How could Taiyi not feel surprised and curious?
Qi Yu had no intention of hiding anything from Taiyi’s question and gave a direct answer.

“Your Majesty, didn’t you guess it long ago? The power of reincarnation is what I rely on.”

This time, Taiyi really didn’t expect Qi Yu to be so straightforward. After all, the power of reincarnation was precious, and the latter had just established a foundation in the earth. In this case, even if Qi Yu deliberately concealed it, Taiyi could completely understand it. It was just human nature.

But now Qi Yu hit a straight ball, which surprised Taiyi. For a moment, the Emperor of Heaven was speechless and didn’t know what to say.

Qi Yu didn’t care about this at all, he just continued.

“I dare to guess that your majesty came here to check on the Queen’s injury. I’m afraid that the Queen’s injury has become so serious that your majesty can’t even suppress it.”

“Your Majesty, are you here to seek a way out for the Queen Mother of Heaven? After all, Your Majesty is not absolutely sure about the matter of attaining enlightenment, right?”

Qi Yu’s straightforward words almost instantly hit the nail on the head for Taiyi. To be honest, such behavior was very taboo. However, at this moment, the latter was not angry when he heard it, but just sighed dejectedly.

“Fellow Daoist, you are right.”

“Who dares to say that they are sure of the matter of Hunyuan? Even the three emperors in the ancient times were strong enough to meet the calamity one after another. I have no way to retreat, and this is the only way to go.”

“Then, fellow Taoist, are you sure you can help me solve my problems?” As he spoke, Taiyi’s eyes gradually became sharper. After all, he was the Emperor of Heaven, the Lord of Heaven who had ruled the ancient world for a long time, the most supreme existence in the world.

Qi Yu could speak frankly, but the premise was that he could indeed come up with a feasible solution. Otherwise, even if he was a great ancient god, he would certainly be punished for violating the majesty of heaven. Taiyi believed that Qi Yu should be aware of this.

Hearing this, Qi Yu smiled slightly.

“Don’t worry, Your Majesty. Deceiving the emperor is a serious crime. I am the emperor of heaven. How could I know the law and break it?”

“Of course I have the solution that Your Majesty wants. It all depends on whether Your Majesty and Your Majesty can make up their minds.”

Having said that, Qi Yu no longer held back and gave his own solution, which was to enlighten the innate spiritual roots to give birth to the embryo of the Great Dao, abandon the sick body and reincarnate the true spirit. This was also the method of salvation that Qi Yu had come up with after the meeting in the Purple Light Palace.

“If you follow this method, your life can be saved, and your foundation will not be damaged. You can still retain a little foundation for proving the Tao. However, as a price, most of your cultivation will be wasted. This is also the fate of heaven. Under the way of heaven, there is really no such thing as perfection.”

“As for the matter of reincarnation, Your Majesty and the Empress do not need to worry too much. Although the reincarnation is not complete now, with my current means, it is not difficult to help the Empress complete her reincarnation.”

“As long as the Wu Sect does not interfere, everything will go smoothly. Of course, I can only give suggestions. How to choose depends on the opinions of Your Majesty and Your Majesty.”

At this moment, Qi Yu, with a smile on his face, told Taiyi his method in detail, almost all the pros and cons were explained clearly without keeping anything secret.

The reason why he did so was naturally because the times were different now. Qi Yu did not have enough cards in his hand at the time, nor did he have any plans to establish another heaven. Of course, he did not have to care about the life or death of the Purple Light Queen. Whether the latter lived or died, it would not really affect the overall situation.

But now, the situation is different. For the sake of reputation and justice, and to be able to restrain Di Jun in the future, Qi Yu does not want the Purple Light Queen to die.

Starting over again, the Purple Light Queen who cannot interfere with the general trend but has a righteous cause is more in line with Qi Yu’s interests and will have unimaginable benefits for the development of the immortal heaven.

Taiyi certainly would never have thought that there would be someone in the world who would be so bold as to think of rebellion in front of him, the Emperor of Heaven. Seeing that Qi Yu remained silent, he also fell into silence. He was obviously thinking and considering the gains and losses of this matter.

In fact, Taiyi was quite supportive of Qi Yu’s approach. Overall, this was certainly the solution with the greatest certainty, it was highly feasible, and there was little chance of any unexpected situations.

However, the disadvantages of this method are equally obvious. First of all, Queen Zi Guang still has to “die” once. This method does not solve the problem, but completely circumvents the problem and only gives Queen Zi Guang a chance to start over.

Secondly, it is the matter of rebuilding. With Taiyi’s current state, he is on the verge of attaining enlightenment. It is naturally impossible for him to wait until the Purple Light Queen is reincarnated, and of course there is no question of protecting the Queen when she returns.

However, the current situation is complicated. The former Queen Mother, who has a righteous reputation but insufficient strength, is in a dangerous situation. Therefore, it is difficult for Taiyi to make a decision for the time being.

After thinking for a long time, Taiyi raised his head and looked at Qi Yu in front of him.

“So, what do you need, fellow Taoist?”

There is no free lunch in the world. Although Taiyi is the Emperor of Heaven, Qi Yu is obviously not a soft persimmon that can be easily bullied. Naturally, if you want the latter to help you, you have to pay a certain price.

Although Taiyi has not made up his mind yet, he still plans to listen to Qi Yu’s quotation first and use it as one of the reference indicators for the final decision.

Hearing this, Qi Yu’s smile suddenly became even brighter.

“Jade Certificate of Good Fortune.”

“The price is the Jade Book of Fortune. If your Majesty and the Queen allow me to do it, please lend me this treasure of the Emperor for three thousand years. This is my only request.”

Upon hearing this request, Taiyi frowned immediately. Qi Yu obviously had a good grasp of Taiyi’s thoughts. This request was obviously the bottom line in the former’s mind. It was precisely because of this that Taiyi found it even more difficult to make up his mind at this moment and fell into deep thought again.

After a moment, he said in a deep voice.

“Emperor Xishen, you should know that the Jade Book of Creation is a treasure of the Emperor. It symbolizes the destiny of the Emperor’s lineage and is also a tool of heaven. It is extremely important and must not be lost.”

Taiyi changed his name back to normal, which was obviously a signal that the Emperor of Heaven was not in a very clear mood at the moment.

In response to this, Qi Yu replied.

“Of course I know. After all, this Jade Book of Creation was forged by His Majesty the Emperor himself. I witnessed its birth with my own eyes. How could I not know?”

“I understand. He dares to make such a request. It seems that Emperor Xichen is quite courageous and has great ambition!”

Taiyi looked at Qi Yu and sighed with ambiguous meaning. The latter did not have any special reaction and just looked at the former calmly. After they were silent for a moment, Taiyi finally spoke again.

“Forget it. I am tired. Emperor Xichen, please leave first. I don’t want anyone else to know what happened today.”

“Yes.”

In response, Qi Yu just nodded and said.

“My minister retire.”

This time, Taiyi did not respond, but just waved his hand. Qi Yu also left in silence and walked out of the gate of the Emperor’s Palace.

Just like that, the Emperor’s Palace fell into silence again.
