The Suppression of Yuanshi, the Submission of the Saints

In the Great Luo Heaven of the Heaven Realm, Donghua sits on the Emperor's Seat, with the West Queen Mother seated beside him, and on either side of them are Saint sitting on Cloud Bed.

On the left are Taishang, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Jieyin, and Zhunti.

On the right are Nuwa, Houtu, Fuxi, and the Minghe.

Below them are the Great Powers from all Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms, all at the Quasi-Saint level. The vast majority of them are guests of the Purple Sky Palace, all of them Quasi- Quasi-Saint.

This is all thanks to Hongjun!

Donghua sat high on the Emperor's Seat, with the Taiji Dao forming Three Thousand Great Daos light wheels behind him, the Merit Power radiating a dark golden color.

Within the Great Dao, the Heavenly Emperor Sword could be faintly seen standing, while the Heavenly Emperor Seal suppressed time and space.

"Everyone, Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos have been perfected, Primordial World has entered a new era. This is all thanks to the efforts of each and every one of you. It is truly a cause for celebration!"

The crowd below said, "We dare not take credit; we owe our success largely to the Great Heavenly Venerate and all the Saint."

"..."

Everything seemed to be pre-rehearsed; after a normal round of mutual compliments, the real topic began.

To put it bluntly, this meeting was a redistribution of interests, which is what Donghua previously referred to as the All Saints Alliance.

Only the time and place have changed!

However, its main purpose remains unchanged.

With Minghe and Fuxi attaining enlightenment, and the West Queen Mother just one step away from achieving it, the interests of the Primordial Wilderness will definitely be redistributed.

First try diplomacy, then resort to force!

First, allocate the tasks at the meeting; it's a win-win situation for everyone.

As for any dissatisfaction after the meeting, that is a private conflict among the All Saints. Whether it is mutual attack or one-on-one duel, the general direction will not change. This is called "the essence remains unchanged despite all changes".

Donghua and the Heavenly Court only need to act as referees and third parties, keeping the struggle between the All Saints within a certain range!

"Fellow Daoists, the Three Realms are now at peace, the world has advanced, and the Tai Wei Era has entered a new chapter in history."

"Among the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms, Earth, Starry Sky, the Heavenly Court sits in charge of the Heaven Realm and the Starry Primordial Wilderness, pacifies the primordial world, controls internal and external warfare, governs the ascension of all realms, and holds the reins of the Primordial Wilderness. Is there any objection?"

Without any hesitation or retreat, Donghua directly and frankly stated the powers of the Heavenly Court. This was also the first time Donghua had explained the responsibilities of the Heavenly Court to the outside world.

The rights of heaven are clearly explained and vividly expressed using the five words "controlling", "levelling", "holding", "controlling" and "executing".

The Taishang others looked toward Donghua, trying to discern something from him, but they could not see Donghua's true appearance at a glance.

It was as if the Emperor's Seat did not belong to Donghua, but to a vast world, the Way of Taiji, the Great Way.

The group quickly calmed themselves down, exchanged glances, but none of them spoke first.

This was the first time anyone had witnessed Donghua's aggressiveness. If Donghua had been reserved before, now he was unleashing all his brilliance, fully displaying the majesty of the Great Heavenly Venerate Heavenly Emperor.

"Your Great Heavenly Venerate, I have no objection!"

The first person stepped forward!

It is not the Three Pure Ones, nor the Western Two Saints, nor Nuwa or Houtu, nor Fuxi.

Instead, it was Minghe, the least prominent Saint in the primordial Primordial Wilderness, a Saint who attained Attain Sainthood through divine favor, and also the weakest of all the Hunyuan Saint.

Donghua's gaze lingered on Minghe, instantly making Minghe tense. He then forced himself to calm down and exchanged a glance with Donghua.

This time, Minghe made the decision to surrender first after much deliberation; previously, he had been wavering between the two forces.

However, during this perfect attainment of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, he saw Donghua's figure and witnessed the entire process of Donghua's breakthrough. The pressure he felt even made this Saint tremble.

Later, he saw Hongjun's figure again.

When Donghua and Hongjun stood together, he suddenly realized that Donghua and they were no longer on the same path, and their power levels were not comparable.

So he took the gamble!

In one act of surrender, he staked his entire worth, becoming Saint and directly submitting to the Heavenly Emperor.

Donghua smiled gently at the Minghe, then turned his gaze to the other Saint.

This time, he had enough confidence and time to reason with these Saints and see if they would submit. If they did not submit, then he would suppress them.

Suppressed within their own world!

Killing is out of the question.

Firstly, it is extremely difficult to completely kill a Hunyuan Saint in the Primordial Wilderness, unless he can currently defeat the Heavenly Dao.

However, one cannot completely kill Saint, but one can kill him countless times, causing him to sink into the ways of Heavenly Dao and the Great Way.

Secondly, because Hongjun is still alive, he has to save face for Hongjun; otherwise, if he can suppress the Saint, Hongjun can also suppress him.

Donghua never doubted this point; he always held Hongjun in high regard, never looked down upon him.

Although Hongjun could not and had no way to kill him, he could suppress himself.

For example, using the Heaven Realm as a prison and dividing the land to suppress others, one may still be the Heavenly Emperor within the Heaven Realm, but only the Heavenly Emperor of the Heaven Realm, not the Heavenly Emperor of the Primordial Wilderness.

Fuxi looked up at Donghua, but this time he didn't see the usual mutual appreciation, only a cold indifference, as if he was just waiting for an answer.

After a long silence, Fuxi sighed and then spoke:

"Your Great Heavenly Venerate, I have no objection!"

Human Emperor Fuxi submits!

After Fuxi, Houtu also stepped forward.

"Your Great Heavenly Venerate, I have no objection!"

The two voices, like divine punishment, echoed in the ears of the Three Pure Ones and the Western Two Saints, and also resounded among the top forces and experts of the Three Realms below.

The heavens and earth of the Primordial Wilderness world have changed!

Things have really changed!

A new order has been established in the Primordial Wilderness, even more shocking than when Donghua defeated the Witch and Monster Two Clans and ascended to heaven as emperor on Buzhou Mountain.

From this point onward, the Saint's status automatically decreased, placing him below the Heavenly Emperor.

Yuanshi looked at the Minghe, Houtu, and Fuxi, his eyes filled with anger and resentment. He could lose to Donghua, and all of them could lose to Donghua, but how could Saint lose to the Heavenly Emperor?

How can we lose sight of righteousness!

As long as the greater good remains, even if they lose a hundred times, they can win back on the hundred and first time.

But once the greater good is lost, it is a permanent defeat. Even if their strength surpasses that of Donghua in the future, it will not change the fact that the Heavenly Emperor is superior to the Saint.

Because on this very day, the proper roles of ruler and subject were established!

But before Yuanshi could think further, the Western Two Saints exchanged a glance and then said in unison:

"Your Great Heavenly Venerate, I have no objection!"

"Whoosh!"

The hall erupted in chaos. They expected today's meeting to be explosive, but they never imagined it would be this explosive.

At this moment, they witnessed history!

Of the nine Saints of the Primordial Wilderness, five have already Saint, leaving only the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa, but their opinions seem to be of little importance anymore.

Nuwa is a staunch supporter of Donghua. Regardless of her current thoughts, she will absolutely not oppose this trend.

Sure enough, right after the Western Two Saints, Nuwa spoke.

"This humble Daoist congratulates the Great Heavenly Venerate! I have no objection!"

Donghua nodded to Nuwa. They had discussed this matter countless times before, but had never reached an agreement.

After all, Nuwa is Nuwa, Saint Nuwa is another matter entirely.

However, given the prevailing circumstances, Nuwa also chose to submit.

At this moment, Nuwa also felt very conflicted. She was willing to form an alliance with Donghua, but she did not want to submit.

However, upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem like much. She is no longer among the strongest forces in the Primordial Wilderness. The demon race has four Demon Emperors in charge and has already submitted to the Heavenly Court.

She created the human race, but Donghua is also a part of it; the title "Teacher" speaks louder than anything.

Moreover, since Fuxi has already submitted on behalf of the human race and the Human Realm, what other choice does she have?

At this moment, the pressure was on the Three Pure Ones!

Yuanshi closed his eyes tightly, appearing isolated from the world, seemingly unwilling to acknowledge anyone.

Taishang appeared as if he had just entered, his eyes slightly closed, composed and serene. However, from the trembling whisk, one could tell that this seemingly inactive Saint was not as calm as he appeared.

Tongtian coughed lightly, glanced at Yuanshi, then looked at Taishang, but the two remained silent.

Tongtian then swept his gaze around the main hall. Today, the hall was almost filled with all the Great Powers of the Primordial Wilderness, and there was not a single one whose cultivation was lower than that of Grand Unity.

Even some ancient beings who survived from previous eras appeared in the main hall, and even the fearful Bodhi Old Ancestor sat in the last row.

Just as Tongtian looked at everyone, everyone was also looking at the Three Pure Ones.

After scanning the area, Tongtian turned his gaze to Donghua and then slowly said:

"This humble Daoist congratulates Junior Brother on your great progress in cultivation; the path to the Great Dao is within your reach."

Donghua said softly, "Thank you, Senior Brother Tongtian. Let us encourage each other!"

Tongtian: "May I ask my junior brother for some guidance on the Great Dao of cultivation?"

Donghua laughed and said, "If not today, another day is fine!"

Tongtian nodded and finally said, "I have no objection to the Great Heavenly Venerate's words!"

Having gained both face and substance, Tongtian yielded to the situation, signifying his submission.

Yuanshi opened his eyes, pointed at Heavenly Dao, "Third brother, you..."

In the end, he said nothing, but looked at Donghua and said:

"I will never submit, but I have no objection to what you just said."

He knew the tide had turned against him, but he refused to submit.

He can lose, but he cannot surrender.

This is the inner world of Yuanshi, his final pride and struggle.

Donghua shook his head and said softly, "It's alright, it's alright, as long as there are no objections."

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Donghua made his move in an instant.

"Boom!"

With a single finger pointing out, there were no magnificent fluctuations of the Great Dao, no dazzling magical images, only a monstrous attack of the Great Dao.

The Emperor Dao Power transformed into a Taiji, which, like a vast world, pressed down upon the Yuanshi.

Everyone saw it at that moment, but no one could react in time.

That's too fast!

That's incredible!

With a single finger, myriad paths are born;

Within the Taiji, all things are suppressed.

In Yuanshi instant, Yuanshi unleashed the Pangu Banner, stirring up the Hunyuan Power. The Yuqing Great Dao merged with the Three Thousand Great Daos, forming a completely new Great Dao.

"The Yuanshi Sword!"

Thousands of Chaos Sword Qi transformed into a single sword and pressed down on Donghua's Taiji Dao.

Donghua murmured, "Interesting. The Dao of Yuanshi? From the beginning of the One, all things are reborn. This sword strike is quite interesting."

"However, you're far from good enough!"

The Taiji formed by the Emperor Dao Power pressed down, instantly turning the sword energy released by the Pangu Banner into nothingness upon contact.

The Taiji continued its downward suppression, annihilating all paths.

"Sing!"

With a soft sound, the Taiji formed a covering, suppressing the Yuanshi within.

There were no fluctuations around him, and Tongtian and Taishang, who were beside Yuanshi, were not affected in any way.

Suppressing the Yuanshi within a mere inch!

Everyone looked at Donghua in disbelief. They didn't know how much of his power Donghua had used, but they all understood that if he could suppress Yuanshi so easily, he could also suppress them.

They knew that Donghua was very strong after breaking through his cultivation level, but they had no idea what that meant.

Just like the gap between Quasi-Saint and Hun Yuan, those who don't reach the Hun Yuan will never know how big that gap is.

This is no longer a battle of the same level!

"Yuanshi, who was wicked and roared soaring to the heavens, was suppressed in the Jade Void Palace of Kunlun Mountain and ordered to reflect on his mistakes!"

With a flick of his hand, the world turned upside down, a gentle breeze swept by, and Yuanshi's figure vanished from the hall.

"Boom!"

A crack suddenly appeared above Kunlun Mountain, and Yuanshi's figure materialized, then appeared on a futon in the Jade Void Palace.

A Taiji followed closely behind, landing on the Jade Void Palace. The Daoist energy combined with the Jade Void Palace to form a restriction.

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, all eyes were on Donghua, filled with shock, fear, terror, and fervor...

At this moment, it seemed that all emotions were contained within the main hall.

Donghua wasn't making an example of someone; he was doing it openly and aboveboard, using overwhelming power to subdue them.

And it's not just about killing someone, it's about destroying their spirit!

The Yuanshi was suppressed, not because he refused to submit, but because he roared at the heavens.

Is that a reason?

Before today, who would have believed it?

But today they not only believed it, but also witnessed it with their own eyes: the mighty Yuanshi Tianzun, the Saint, the leader of a religion, was suppressed by the Great Heavenly Venerate with his roaring power, and forced to face the wall in repentance!

This reason was enough to make the prideful Yuanshi want to commit suicide; he had truly lost face throughout the entire Primordial Wilderness.

"Ahhh..."

In the Jade Void Palace, Yuanshi's eyes were bloodshot, and he no longer had his usual kind and dignified appearance; he looked like a madman.

"Donghua, I'm going to kill you!"

"I'll kill you!"

"You've gone too far!"

With the Pangu Banner in his hand, he continuously waved his sword, unleashing fierce Chaos Sword Qi and Yuanshi sword energy that slashed at the Jade Void Palace.

However, with each strike, Taiji Diagram appeared within the Jade Void Palace, suppressing all power into nothingness.

It didn't cause any damage!

"Pfft!"

Inside the Lingxiao Palace, Randeng, who witnessed this scene, suddenly burst out laughing for some reason; he felt a strange sense of amusement.

But then he realized what was happening and immediately shut up.

But that laugh seemed to open up some unexpected channel, and everyone in the hall burst into laughter.

Surprisingly, the loudest voice came from Tongtian.

Good heavens, that's really something!

The solemn conference seemed to lighten up at this moment.

Donghua looked at Taishang beside him and asked softly, "What does Fellow Daoist Taishang say?"

All eyes turned to the Taishang, their gazes seemingly conveying a certain meaning.

"Be strong, don't surrender, resist, resist!"

It seemed that everyone was hoping that Taishang would rebel against Donghua. Even Tongtian, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but look at Taishang, completely watching the show.

"I have no objection!"

"Alas!"

Although no one spoke, their expressions conveyed this message.

The Taishang continued, "Your subject wishes to place the benevolent corpse of the Taishang Laojun Laozi in the Heavenly Court so that he may refine elixirs for the Great Heavenly Venerate."

Donghua glanced at Taishang; this guy reacted quickly enough. In fact, he was also hoping that Taishang would rebel.

He wanted to see just how powerful the Taishang of the Fourth Heaven was, what kind of Great Dao he had comprehended, and to what extent he had developed the Great Dao of Taiqing.

But Taishang, like a non-stick pan, surrendered instantly.

But this is fine too!

P. S.: Guys, this isn't a long story. I've been busy lately, and I also have an exam to study for. Ugh, it's so tough!
