Chapter 180 The Last Step

There was no voice of doubt. As Taiyi spoke, the five original karma positions of the heavenly realm were born amid the shock of the heavenly court and returned to their respective positions.

This kind of original karma position is extremely grand. At least in Qi Yu’s perception, the power contained in it has exceeded the limitations of the Nine Heavens Emperor and is almost infinitely close to the karma position of the Five Emperors. It is just that it is still not perfect enough and it is difficult to reach the end of the Five Directions Way.

For different people, the blessing of this status can bring different effects. For some people, this is just the icing on the cake. Apart from obtaining the orthodox authority and status of the Heavenly Court, the influence of the God’s position is not as great as imagined.

But for some people, such a change is like timely help, which can be said to greatly enhance their authority on their own paths, and they gain huge benefits from their position as Godly Lords all at once.

Obviously, among the five, Dijiang and Zhunti are the former, Nuwa and Dijun are the latter, and Qi Yu happens to be in the middle.

The reason for this is naturally related to the Dao Fruits that the five people are pursuing.

Di Jiang, there is no doubt that he is not walking on the Avenue of Golden Virtue, nor is he pursuing the path of the White Emperor. His current position as a divine monarch is more of a proxy for the authority of the Human Emperor, a move he had to make for the sake of the Witch Clan. He is not even that compatible with Jinmen Haolinghuang Laojun, so naturally his gains are minimal.

Zhunti’s situation is much better than Dijiang’s. After all, he is of sacred origin of the spirit race and achieved enlightenment through the innate spiritual root of the Bodhi tree. But he is still not without problems. After all, the future mother of all Buddhas in the West did not achieve success overnight. Her cultivation of merit and virtue had already already embarked on a path of Zen meditation.

Qingling Shi Laojun came out by following the Great Way of Wood Virtue, and there was also some gap between him and him. He could not allow the Western Heavenly Venerable, who had already reached the late stage of Quasi-Saint for many years, to make further progress. At most, he could serve as a reference.

But the situations of these two great gods, Nuwa and Di Jun, are very different from the previous two.

The former is the mother of the earth in the ancient times, and what she pursues is the position of the emperor of the earth. Although there are still some differences between the road of the emperor of the earth and the road of the Yellow Emperor, and even the position of the central Huang Laojun today, this is not a fundamental conflict. The two have many overlaps in their roads, and they can go hand in hand.

Therefore, this time, Nuwa’s gains were really great. She had almost taken the opportunity to completely suppress Hou Tu. As long as her cultivation was consolidated, she could start to challenge the throne of the Emperor of the Earth and end this dispute.

As for the latter, Di Jun, as the sun god and Emperor Yuyi of the Sun Palace, also seeks the path of fire virtue. Being promoted from Red Emperor to Heavenly Emperor is even one of the best ways for him to be promoted as the innate sun god and the Great Sun Golden Crow. Now that he is in charge of Danling Zhen Laojun, he has naturally gained a lot and is almost about to break through on the spot and reach the late stage of quasi-saint!
Finally, Qi Yu was somewhat different from the other four people present. Although the position of Wuling Xuan Laojun was indeed in line with him and water virtue was the foundation of his existence, his gains were not as great as he had imagined. Objectively speaking, he was just between the two situations.

The reason why things are like this is not because of the road, but because of Qi Yu’s current state.

In fact, ever since the trip to Guixu, Qi Yu’s accumulation has been on the verge of overflowing. He had gained too much from his past incarnation, and his power had expanded too quickly after gathering the water transport of heaven and earth, so his power was overflowing. Even after beheading the evil corpse, this overly deep foundation was not consumed, but there was still a large amount left.

To put it in the simplest terms, Qi Yu’s accumulation had long surpassed his current realm. Even if he wanted to, let alone killing the three corpses and entering the late stage of quasi-saint, even returning to the peak of quasi-saint would not be difficult. It’s just that he forcibly suppressed this impulse.

The reason why he did this was naturally to ensure that he could build a perfect Hunyuan foundation, so that after achieving enlightenment and becoming a saint, he could advance to a deeper realm in the shortest time possible.

This is also related to the possible pattern that may emerge in the future. After all, even if we don’t count the “pseudo-Hunyuan” Emperor of Heaven, under the established trend, there will be as many as six saints of the Heavenly Dao who will be born!
If he cannot make rapid progress after becoming a saint, how can he take the initiative? Competition between powerful primordial masters has often been irrelevant to planning and arrangement. Foresight cannot bring advantages. Absolute power is the key to solving all problems!

Therefore, Qi Yu’s current practice can be regarded as a necessary choice. This has created his current state and also determined that the position of a mere god is destined not to bring him a leap forward.

However, even so, the position of Wuling Xuan Laojun also brought Qi Yu a big surprise – that is, as he became a divine monarch, Qi Yu had sensed that his rich accumulation was being consumed at a very fast speed and transformed into a more solid foundation of Taoism.

This means that he can take another step at any time, kill off the last corpse of obsession, and after the three corpses are completed, he can completely surpass the “previous life” in his memory, and take advantage of the situation to prove his Tao and become a Hunyuan Saint!
……

Seeing that the five people who were conferred titles all gained something, especially Di Jun, the heir whom he almost designated, who gained the most, while Di Jiang, the abandoned heir to the palace, gained the least, Taiyi couldn’t help but nod secretly in his heart. In this way, it seems that the conflict between witches and monsters can be curbed to the greatest extent.

As for whether too many interests of the Wu Sect were sacrificed in this process, Taiyi actually didn’t care. As the Emperor of Heaven, his eyes were always on the entire prehistoric world, not on a certain place. As the Emperor of the Gods, he only needed to maintain the overall stability of the Gods. The turmoil of a certain branch of the Gods was not something he should care about. In addition to paying attention to the performance of Dijun and Dijiang, Taiyi also noticed the changes of the other three. Among them, the performance of Nuwa and Zhunti did not surprise him. Only Qi Yu made the Emperor of Heaven couldn’t help but take a second look –

Emperor Xishen’s harvest seems to be much smaller than expected?
From Taiyi’s perspective, he certainly would not think that Qi Yu was unable to grasp the position of Wuling Xuan Laojun, nor would he think that Qi Yu, the reincarnation of the ancient sea god, would not be in line with the Water Virtue Dao. So there are not many answers, and the most likely one is that the latter used some means and is actively showing weakness at this moment to reduce his own vigilance.

This cannot be said to be that Taiyi is too imaginative. It is just that the possibility of the water overflowing is too incredible. Taiyi cannot understand why some people have such full confidence in proving the truth that they are even willing to slow down their pace for this.

Taking into account his consistent suppression of Xuanmen and the conversation in the Emperor’s Palace not long ago, Taiyi could only think of this relatively reasonable possibility.

After seeing this scene, Taiyi became more hesitant. No matter what, the Purple Light Queen must be saved. He knew his own business, and the confidence of achieving enlightenment was not great. So Qi Yu’s method of reincarnation was Taiyi’s last choice.

Thinking of this, the balance in Taiyi’s heart unconsciously tilted a little. Even he himself did not realize that his attitude towards Qi Yu’s proposal had been changing subtly.

After a while, the five newly promoted gods successfully refined the godhood in their bodies, and the powerful gods in the Taiyi Palace gradually began to discuss. The Emperor finally announced the end of the grand court meeting. From then on, all matters in the Heavenly Court would be decided by the Five Emperors’ Palace and no longer needed to be decided by the Taiyi Palace.

Therefore, the newly appointed Five Gods could not leave Heaven immediately. They first listened to Taiyi’s private “teachings”, and then went to the Five Emperors’ Palaces. From then on, the Five Palaces each performed their duties, governed all matters in the ancient world, and presided over the government affairs of Heaven.

As for major events that cannot be decided by one government or one deity, the five people should go to Taiyi Palace for public discussion by the five deities.

For this reason, Qi Yu was very busy for a while. The affairs of Heavenly Palace were different from the previous affairs of Dongyuan and Water Palace. They were more complicated. In addition, Qi Yu was only in power on behalf of the emperor, not the emperor of Heaven. Many things had to be done personally and could not be delegated to others.

Therefore, even if he was passively serving as a rubber stamp, he had to stay in the Black Emperor’s Palace for a period of time. The only thing he was thankful for was that although Wenjia Daojun could not perform his duties on his behalf, he was still qualified to give advice. In addition, with Wangshu’s company, his life was still bearable.

Finally, after a long period of time, he was summoned by Taiyi again. This time, the location was not in the Emperor Palace, nor in the Taiyi Palace of Miluo Palace, but in the Ziguang Palace.

When Qi Yu received the news, he was still drinking with Wangshu. He immediately smiled when he saw this.

“Our Emperor Taiyi is indeed very patient. He made me wait for such a long time. In order to hide my incompetence, I even hesitated to cut off the corpse, for fear of irritating the Emperor of Heaven again.”

Wangshu certainly knew how Qi Yu had been going through these days. It was indeed very hard for the latter to endure, so he just smiled and comforted him.

“It can be said that the hardship has finally paid off. Well, stop complaining. My husband should go on this journey as soon as possible, so as to avoid any more trouble.”

“Well, since my wife despises me so much, I can only leave you alone and leave now.”

“So poor, oh my, husband, don’t be like this… it’s disgusting!”

After a brief commotion, Qi Yu walked out of the main hall of the Black Emperor’s Palace refreshed and ready to set off for the Purple Light Palace.

Behind him, Wangshu was left alone in the Black Emperor’s Mansion. His clothes were disheveled, his face was full of shame and anger, and there was a blush on the tips of his ears for some unknown reason. No one knew what had happened before Qi Yu left.

Pale and weak explanation, I went on a date yesterday, so you all understand…
