Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 255 Arrangements and Preaching

As Qi Yu's voice fell, the entire prehistoric world, from Mount Buzhou to the four corners of the earth, trembled.

This is precisely a manifestation of the status of a sage in the Heavenly Dao. Sages act on behalf of Heaven and uphold the Dao. They possess great supernatural powers and great majesty. Naturally, their every word and deed receives the response of the Heavenly Dao. They can freely invoke the fundamental power of the primordial world and change the heavens with a single thought. This is no ordinary matter.

At this moment, as his gaze swept across the heavens and earth, the mountains and seas trembled, and all things shone. All the immortals and gods on Mount Buzhou also paid their respects. Except for a few people such as the Three Pure Ones, Wangshu, and Nuwa, who either held high positions or were specially taken care of by Qi Yu and did not need to perform the grand ceremony, the rest of them all prostrated themselves. On the one hand, they paid their respects to the sage, and on the other hand, they were really unable to move. Under the sage's pressure, they had no choice but to perform the grand ceremony.

"We congratulate the sage on attaining enlightenment!"

"rise."

Qi Yu spoke softly again, and his words became law.

The next moment, everyone was in their true form. Even the mighty Sanqing found it difficult to control their bodies at this moment. They subconsciously followed the power in the dark and stood up. Then they looked at Qi Yu with shock and envy in their eyes.

Qi Yu didn't seem to care about the others' opinions. After all the gods and immortals had paid their respects, he immediately spoke up.

"Now that I have become a saint, I will take up the Dao of the Black Emperor to prove the Dao of Primordial Chaos."

"Therefore, a Black Emperor's Palace will emerge from the Three Realms, wielding my talisman and edict, to oversee all matters concerning the Three Realms of Heaven, Earth, Man, and Water."

"By special decree, the ancient god Wen Jia is appointed as the Great Emperor of the Lower Yuan Water Official. He is hereby granted my command, and all the gods bear witness to this and shall all honor him!"

As Qi Yu finished speaking, in an instant, the sage's words became the law of the world, and the great power of the Heavenly Dao descended. The Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and others each sensed a vast authority beginning to separate from the Xuanmen and Heavenly Court systems, transforming into new positions, and falling from the Thirty-Three Heavens.

It is precisely the "Water Official Emperor" title bestowed by Qi Yu!
Moreover, it seems that Heaven itself was moved and automatically completed the sage's edict. For a time, two other great powers were in turmoil, almost separating from the Heavenly Court.

The Great Emperor of the Heavenly Official of the Upper Yuan!

The Great Emperor of the Earthly Official of the Central Yuan!

Nuwa's face immediately darkened, but she was helpless. With the appearance of the sage, the original pattern of the Three Sovereigns rotating and the Five Emperors ruling the world naturally disintegrated. Even the Three Pure Ones, the so-called leaders of the Three Teachings, were nothing at this moment. The Heavenly Emperor was in seclusion, so only Qi Yu could have the sage's heart replace the Heavenly Heart.

She had been prepared for this, but she still couldn't help feeling the pain. The only consolation was that the new saint hadn't directly attacked the authority of the Heaven and Earth lineages, and the Upper and Middle Yuan positions were still vacant, which gave the Phoenix Perch Mountain lineage a final bit of face.

But Qi Yu's actions were not yet finished.

"The way of Heaven is that the sage governs all things in the primordial world, and the Heavenly Emperor manages the mountains and rivers of the Three Realms. Therefore, the sage teaches the great way and guides the people, while the Heavenly Court and the Divine Palace hold power and authority. This is the way of Heaven."

"For the sake of the Three Realms, the immortal Chunyang was ordered to undergo 15,000 kalpas to return to the true path and become the head of the male immortals of the Xuanmen, the Eastern Emperor, who holds the register of all immortals."

"Returning to its rightful place after three thousand years to restore the order of Xuanmen's teachings!"

Another decree appeared out of thin air, descending from the sky and falling from Mount Buzhou. It entered the Sea of ​​Wheels in the underworld, its radiance enveloping the entire underworld. Even Houtu, who was slumbering in the Great Millstone of Annihilation, was briefly awakened.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation, respectfully obeying the decree of the Sage—" Soon, Houtu fell into slumber again, continuing to merge and verify with the Six Paths of Reincarnation, leaving countless people dumbfounded.

Separation of religion and state, changing the head of the male immortals, and making Donghua the new one?

That's insane!

The one who suffered the most was Nuwa. This was another blow to the Heavenly Court, or rather, to the Phoenix Perch Mountain lineage. Qi Yu's decree meant that after at most 15,000 kalpas, the position of the head of the male immortals would inevitably be separated from Fuxi, the current Xuanmen Heavenly Emperor. This was undoubtedly a severe blow.

However, Nuwa still couldn't object. Firstly, she was weaker than him, and secondly, it was due to the original agreement—Fuxi would temporarily take over as the head of the male immortals of the Xuanmen, wield pure yang, and ascend to the Nine Heavens as the Eastern Heavenly Emperor of the Xuanmen. This was merely an expedient measure, meaning that from the very beginning, Fuxi's position in the Xuanmen was unstable.

However, Fuxi and Nuwa thought they had plenty of time, at least enough to hold the reins of the Heavenly Court and the Xuanmen for a long time to come, laying the foundation for the Hunyuan Daoist cause. Who knew that this Water Element Saint would pull such a stunt right from the start—

They treated her and her brother like thieves!
If Nuwa felt distressed, disappointed, and frustrated, then on the other hand, the Three Pure Ones, especially Yuanshi Tianzun, felt regret.

Of the Three Pure Ones, the one who most supported the former Pure Yang Heavenly Emperor was naturally the Jade Pure lineage, the absolute order and conservative faction on Kunlun Mountain. He was also the one who most hoped to see Pure Yang reincarnate in the future, take over the reins from Fuxi, and regain control of the Xuanmen.

Of course, Yuanshi Tianzun always knew that after offending Qi Yu, the hope of Chunyang returning to power was very slim. However, he did not expect that Qi Yu was even more ruthless than he imagined. After attaining enlightenment, the second thing he did was to completely cut off the hope of Chunyang's return!

You should know that what Qi Yu just said is that the immortal Pure Yang must go through 15,000 tribulations!

It has been reincarnated a full 15,000 times!
This is not a number that Qi Yu casually reported. Three thousand years, fifteen thousand kalpas, that is five reincarnations a year. With such frequency, the Primordial Heavenly Venerable can imagine what kind of thing Chunyang will be reincarnated into. He will probably be nothing more than a creature with scales, feathers, or insects. Even if he were to enter the cycle of reincarnation normally, let alone after being severely injured by demonic transformation, he would probably be wiped out and become a blank slate!
This ancient water ancestor is truly petty!
So, is Qi Yu really as petty as Yuan Shi and the others think?

Of course!

Let's put it this way: based on the actions of the Eastern King Duke that day, this Xuanmen Heavenly Emperor is practically nailed to Qi Yu's blacklist, and no matter who turns the tables, he will never be able to turn the tables!

Therefore, even though Qi Yu needed a pure Yang emperor born with the fortune of immortality to replace Fuxi and balance the future Heavenly Court, he still refused to let the former Dong Wang Gong return. This led to his current decision to upgrade the three thousand tribulations he had discussed with the Queen Mother of the West to fifteen thousand tribulations, just to create a new "pure Yang immortal leader" as blank as a sheet of paper.

Qi Yu went to great lengths to come up with such a brilliant idea as the Fifteen Thousand Tribulations, leaving Nuwa helpless and the Three Pure Ones speechless.

When a sage is unwilling to reason, he acts in such a crude and simple way!
……

Of course, after giving someone a slap, you always have to give them a sweet treat.

Even though Qi Yu is now a saint, he is a ruler who governs the world, not a demon who destroys it. Since he is in charge of governing the people, he cannot simply and brutally take a one-size-fits-all approach to everything. The true way of a king is to appease those below him.

With this in mind, Qi Yu quickly offered his "sweet treat".

"Thus, everything is settled."

"A hundred years from now, I will go to the Chaos Realm to open the Great Netherworld and preach the Primordial Dao Fruit, which all living beings can listen to!"
