Great Emperor Ziwei of the Central Pole
Although Haotian was a virgin before, he had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years and was certainly not a stupid person.
He knew the sages' covetousness of the Heavenly Emperor's throne, and he also knew their discontent.
With Hongjun as his backer, he was confident that he could secure his position as the Heavenly Emperor.
" With the Heavenly Court re-establishing order and rebuilding, there will be six rulers governing all the heavens."
The Heavenly Emperor has been chosen; the other imperial positions are vacant. You may decide for yourselves!
As the sounds of congratulations in the main hall gradually subsided, Hongjun spoke again.
Although he appointed Haotian as the Heavenly Emperor, he was also well aware that it would be difficult for Haotian to completely control the Heavenly Court.
To achieve balance, the positions of the five Great Emperors were created.
'The Six Emperors of Heavenly Court!'
As soon as Hongjun finished speaking, the heavenly secrets became clear instantly, and six divine positions manifested in the Sea of Fortune.
Besides the already established Heavenly Emperor, there are the Great Emperor Qinghua of the Eastern Extremity, the Great Emperor Changsheng of the Southern Extremity, the Great Emperor Tianhuang of the Upper Palace Gouchen, the Great Emperor Ziwei of the Central Pole, and the Empress Houtu, Sovereign of the Earth follows the laws of Heaven and Earth.
The moment the Great Emperor's divine position manifested, a divine might descended upon the Zixiao Palace.
A phantom divine seal landed in front of Houtu.
The divine seal manifests extraordinary phenomena of mountains and rivers, surrounded by the endless power of life and death.
It symbolizes the authority of the Empress Houtu, Sovereign of the Earth the example of Heaven.
Her authority is to control yin and yang, life and death, and mountains and rivers; no one is more suitable than Houtu.
Upon seeing Houtu, who was now on the throne of divinity, the auras of all the saints involuntarily faltered.
But they also knew that, apart from Houtu, no one else could control this divine position.
Empress Houtu, Sovereign of the Earth follows the example of Heaven, falls into the hands of the Houtu, then only the positions of the Four Emperors remain.
The Six Saints immediately activated their primordial spirit power to sense the Great Emperor's authority, hoping to use this to vie for the Great Emperor's divine position.
Although divine status is not a cultivation realm, it represents real power and authority.
The position of a Great Emperor is already infinitely close to that of a Sage.
Houtu, however, did not pay attention to this divine position; instead, she frowned deeply.
He was granted a divine position, but he did not refine it.
It should be understood that both the cycle of life and death and the power over mountains and rivers belong to the Earthly Dao.
The Heavenly Court created such a divine position simply to once again divide up the power of the Underworld.
How could Houtu possibly be happy under such Houtu?
Of course, she had no interest in a divine position, nor would she truly give it up.
The laws of the earth surged in Houtu's hand, transforming into restrictive Divine Mark that directly sealed the divine position of Empress Houtu, Sovereign of the Earth embodies the laws of heaven.
The original illusory divine position was refined by Houtu into a spiritual treasure divine seal.
Hongjun saw all of this, but said nothing.
He was well aware of Houtu's fear and wariness of the Heavenly Way.
In his heart, he also did not want the power of the Heavenly Dao to continue to increase.
At the same time, the Six Saints were also sensing the divine position and authority of the Great Emperor.
They don't care about the Great Emperor, but they are very important to their disciples.
The divine position represents not only authority and power, but also merit and fortune.
With only four Great Emperor positions available, the Six Saints inevitably clashed and fought again.
In the River of Destiny, the wills of the Six Saints clashed fiercely once again, each refusing to yield.
At that moment, starlight appeared around Cihang, and he moved in an extremely mysterious trajectory.
It is clearly just a small space, yet it seems to contain countless galaxies.
However, while the saints were vying for power, Cihang also set her sights on the throne of the Great Emperor.
Like the saints, he had no need for it, but it was a rare opportunity for the disciples of Mount Luojia.
Moreover, with the Star-Fruit Tree in his possession and his mastery of the Way of Stars, he could easily ascend to the position of the Great Emperor Ziwei of the Central Pole.
As Cihang had predicted, the moment the Star Law around him manifested, a divine position Dao fruit fell from the River of Destiny.
"It's a success!"
Cihang opened her eyes and looked at the extremely dazzling starlight in front of her, from which the power of supreme authority emanated.
Like Houtu, Cihang did not directly refine the Dao Fruit, but instead temporarily sealed it with the Star Law and took it into the Glass Realm.
'The Great Emperor Ziwei of the Central Pole, the successor of the stars? This is a great opportunity!'
Looking at Cihang, Hongjun's eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Cihang's actions and strategies indirectly helped him.
Hongjun is willing to see Cihang continue to grow.
He even had some anticipation about how far Cihang would eventually grow.
Compared to Cihang, all the saints seem inferior.
Although Hongjun and the Six Saints are nominally master and disciple, only they themselves know how much scheming and manipulation is involved.
With the loss of another divine position, the struggle among the saints intensified.
"Since we can't make a decision, let's discuss it again another day!"
Hongjun's words immediately interrupted the ongoing battle of wills.
The coldness in Hongjun's words deterred the saints from harboring any other thoughts.
Hongjun ignored the Six Saints and turned to look at Houtu.
"I wonder what arrangements Fellow Houtu has for the Underworld?"
Now that the underground passages have been revived, although Houtu's strength is not as great as his, their status and position are equal, and Houtu also represents the Houtu passages.
"Thank you for your concern, Dao Ancestor. I will take care of the matters of the Underworld!"
If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now!
When facing Hongjun, Houtu spoke in an extremely cold tone.
Houtu harbored resentment towards Hongjun and the other saints.
Like the Heavenly Court in the celestial realm, the Netherworld Underworld is the central hub of rules and authority in the underworld.
She would naturally not allow the power of Heaven to interfere with her again.
If she weren't lacking in strength, she wouldn't be sitting so calmly in the Zixiao Palace.
She came to the Zixiao Palace this time to see what Hongjun was planning.
To follow the example of Heaven Empress Houtu, Sovereign of the Earth? What a tremendous opportunity!
Is Hongjun, seeing that the divine position cannot sway him, openly declaring his intention to interfere in the power of the Netherworld?
Hongjun's plan was excellent, but it depended on whether she agreed.
"Please do as you please, fellow Daoist!"
Hongjun was keen to discuss matters concerning the underworld, but given Houtu's attitude, it was not appropriate to force the issue.
Because of the Heavenly Dao and the Witch Race, Houtu harbored a deep prejudice against him.
"Then Houtu will take her leave!"
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, would you like to leave together? I happen to have something to discuss with you!"
Houtu then turned to Cihang and extended an invitation to travel together.
"Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Cihang also takes his leave!"
Cihang bowed to Hongjun, then turned and bid Hongjun farewell before leaving.
The mere prospect of obtaining the title of the Great Emperor Ziwei makes Cihang's journey worthwhile.
Cihang also had a premonition that Hongjun's trip to the Zixiao Palace was not solely for the position of one of the Six Emperors.
Although he did not know what kind of schemes Hongjun had, one thing was certain: he did not yet have the strength to cooperate with Hongjun.
If Cihang were to rashly cooperate with Hongjun at this juncture, Cihang would ultimately become nothing more than a pawn.
Moreover, Cihang couldn't possibly completely trust Hongjun.
Although Hongjun never showed him any malice, one thing was undeniable: in a sense, Hongjun represented the Way of Heaven.
Before having absolute strength and certainty, Cihang was unwilling to have too much contact with Hongjun.
This time, Houtu's intervention gave him a chance to escape.
