Saints and the Buddhist Sect
The Heavenly Court meeting continued, but everyone felt it was rather dull.
"Your Taishang, Your Taishang, why can't you be a little more assertive!"
This is almost everyone's feeling!
For them, seeing a high-ranking Saint fall from grace and be instantly brought down from his pedestal is more satisfying than seeing someone who has made progress in their cultivation.
As for the conflict between the Heavenly Emperor and the Saint, what business is it of theirs?
It's simply a matter of the Heavenly Emperor managing them, or the Saint managing them, or perhaps the Heavenly Emperor and the Saint managing them together.
For them, there's no difference!
Donghua sat on the Emperor's Seat, gazing at the scene before him, his mind in a daze.
Having returned from that initial flash of inspiration and weathered countless storms, he has today officially become the number one being in the Primordial Wilderness, the undisputed number one.
They also established the Heavenly Court, the undisputed number one power in the Primordial Wilderness world, whose might overshadowed the three realms.
Everything seems like it happened yesterday, but countless ages have passed.
From a novice who had just entered the Quasi-Saint realm to a powerful expert at the Five Heavens Hun Yuan Primordial Chaos realm, he has witnessed countless successes and failures and met countless saints along the way.
There was once an unparalleled emperor, the Ziwei Emperor, who created Star Domain, connected the Starry Sky, slew Fierce Beasts, and punished the wicked, full of vigor and ambition.
There was a peerless goddess Wangshu, who emerged from the Moon Star, cultivated the Divine Dao, slew Fierce Beasts, and possessed unparalleled beauty. She laid the foundation for female cultivators in the Primordial Wilderness, letting the world know that female cultivators existed in the Primordial Wilderness.
If there were such a thing as idol worship in the Primordial Wilderness, then Ziwei and Wangshu would have been the most dazzling stars of that Primordial Wilderness.
These two individuals, carrying the memories of antiquity, illuminated the path forward in that era teeming with Fierce Beasts, in the years following the fall of the Kunwu Divine Dynasty, uniting all the gods to resist the Fierce Beasts.
This led to the later union of the Innate Three Races Myriad Races of the Primordial World, along with countless Innate Deities, and the unification of numerous forces to shatter the rule of the Shen Ni.
Ultimately, under the leadership of Hongjun, Luohu, Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and others, the first great calamity of the Primordial Wilderness came to an end.
Later, there were the Ancestor Dragon, the Yuanfeng, and the First Qilin, Gaia the world, attacked the Innate Deities, and made all races submit, dividing the Primordial Wilderness into three.
At that time, Donghua was merely a mere Daluo Golden Immortal, still trembling with fear.
And then there's Primordial Wilderness, the boy who once slew dragons and swept across the land, only to become a Luohu himself!
At that time, the entire Primordial Wilderness trembled under Luohu's demonic power, either submitting or perishing.
Ultimately, the Myriad Races of the Primordial World united once again, forming two major forces that clashed countless times on the vast and boundless Primordial World Continent.
One by one, new Innate Deities rose up, including the most dazzling Three Pure Ones. The three brothers united as one, starting from Kunlun, and eventually fought their way to the Western Continent.
There was a peerless goddess who, wielding Red Embroidery Saber, slashed her way from Buzhou Mountain to the Western Continent. When she looked back, she was followed by countless people, who called her "Empress".
There was also Di Jun and Taiyi, who created the demon race. The light of the Golden Crow eventually shone on the Primordial World Continent, and the demon race they created became synonymous with all races. The once disheveled youth eventually became a generation of emperors.
And then there were the Twelve Demon Gods who emerged from Buzhou Mountain in Mount Buzhou east and conquered the world. It was during that time that the world remembered what it meant to be invincible in their true form.
The divine might is as vast as the heavens, the demonic might as deep as a prison; these are the gods and demons!
And there's that ancestor who carries the Blood Sea and slaughter!
A Great Peng who rises with the wind in a single day!
"..."
Countless geniuses and Heavenly Pride stepped forward at that time, while Donghua was merely one of them, neither particularly outstanding nor insignificant.
However, he also earned a resounding reputation as Eastern Emperor Donghua, the Eastern Wood Duke.
Looking at the crowd below, Donghua was filled with emotion. At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be:
All that is past; to find truly remarkable figures, look to the present!
" With the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos perfectly aligned, the Underworld reigns supreme over the realms and the cycle of reincarnation, controlling the endless hells and the rise and fall of all the heavens!"
"The Human Realm is the foundation of the Primordial Wilderness world. The human race is the common ruler of all races, the master of humanity, and the Protagonist of Heaven and Earth. They control the creation of all things, the conquest of all races, the beginning and end of civilization, and the inheritance of the world."
"Does anyone have any objections?"
This time, Donghua divided the responsibilities and rights between the underworld and the human race, which meant setting a direction.
Everyone began to ponder. After a while, Houtu, Fuxi, and Minghe stood up and said:
"We have no objection!"
Donghua nodded in satisfaction. His division of responsibilities between the underworld and the human race was rather vague, because he knew that for every policy, there was a countermeasure.
No matter how well it's said now, there will always be loopholes in its execution. So it's better not to say anything at all, but first define the direction, let it grow wildly, and finally remove the inappropriate parts and subdivide it again.
After establishing the Heaven, Earth, and Human Realms, Earth, and Man, Donghua looked at the Saint. Another key point of this meeting was to distribute benefits to the Saint.
The allocation was well done, and everyone was satisfied!
Poor allocation will only sow the seeds of future conflicts and wars.
Donghua was never a conceited person, nor did he ever believe that the Heavenly Court was invincible.
The Kunwu Divine Dynasty was once so glorious, ruling over Myriad Races of the Primordial World and dividing them into five categories. Yet, in the great calamity, it too turned into a handful of dust.
The original trajectory of the Interception Sect was that of countless Investiture of the Gods paying homage, with its disciples spread Primordial Wilderness. However, during the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods, they were all reduced to ashes.
The Heavenly Court is very strong now, and Donghua is very strong, but who can guarantee that he will still be the invincible being in the next great calamity?
Throughout his journey, Donghua never believed that there were any protagonists in the Primordial Wilderness; he was just an ordinary saint who had been blessed by heaven.
In the present Primordial Wilderness, several Saints are indeed no match for him, but that does not mean he has no rivals.
Demon Ancestor Luohu!
And there's the Chaos Demon God!
The most terrifying one is Shen Ni, a truly unkillable being, one that even Hongjun cannot defeat.
It seems that Shen Ni has been present in every Primordial Wilderness calamity, making him an absolute threat.
Even if he breaks through to the Five Heavens of the Heavenly Taiji and comprehends the Taiji Dao of the Innate Five Primes, he still has no way to kill Shen Ni.
Therefore, Donghua can act forcefully now, just like he did this time by forcing All Saints to submit, but he must not be arrogant and must know how to be humble.
Until no one can threaten him anymore!
"Gentlemen, I intend to establish Four Saints above the Six Emperors, who will jointly govern the Heavenly Court with me, enjoy the fortune of the Heavenly Court and the Three Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos. They will be the Sages, ranking below the Heavenly Emperor and above the Six Emperors, and equal to the Empress!"
As Donghua finished speaking, the hall fell silent. The people below were concerned about the question, yet they didn't care. After all, judging from the name, this position was specially set up for Saint, and they were far from being qualified.
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa is the first saint of the Primordial Wilderness. She made great contributions to the establishment and development of the Heavenly Court and was therefore bestowed the title of the First Saint of the Heavenly Court."
Nuwa, upon emerging from her body, said, "Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerate!"
This time, Nuwa did not refuse, but gladly accepted.
As Donghua descended, using the Investiture of the Gods as a medium, it connected the Heavenly Dao, the Earthly Way, and the Human Way. The three Ways converged, and boundless power transformed into the power of rules, empowering Nuwa.
"The power of the Heavenly Rules?"
After accepting this power, Nuwa murmured that she was very familiar with this power of rules and that she could mobilize it herself; it was the Heavenly Dao Power.
However, this time, the power of rules that Donghua bestowed upon her, along with the power of the Earthly Path and the Human Path, Form Heavenly Rules through the Heavenly Book.
"Interesting!"
Nuwa glanced at Donghua and instantly understood this power, as well as Donghua's scheme.
Donghua smiled, offering no explanation, but instead looked at Houtu and said:
"Fellow Daoist Primordial Wilderness has great virtue in the Houtu world and has made indelible contributions to the perfection of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos. She can be appointed as a Holy Venerable of the Heavenly Court, in the form of the Earth Sovereign and Earthly Mother, and relieved of the duties of the Six Emperors!"
Houtu accepted without any hesitation.
A beam of light dissipated, also empowered by the three forces, capable of mobilizing the forces of Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos to form a unique power of Heavenly Laws.
Donghua looked at the remaining Saint, and finally his gaze settled on Minghe.
It's always necessary to show some respect to the first Saint who submits, and compared to the other Saint, Minghe's fortune and strength are still far inferior.
"Fellow Minghe has established merits in the perfection of humanity, and by circulating his own Blood Sea, he has improved the Primordial Wilderness. This is a great act of kindness, and he can be a Holy Venerable of the Heavenly Court, enjoying immeasurable fortune and merit."
Minghe was overjoyed and readily accepted. "Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerate!"
As Donghua's finger fell, the power of Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos converged and ultimately blessed Minghe.
Minghe sensed the power of the rules and finally fixed his gaze on Fuxi and Zhunti. With the blessing of the Heaven, Earth, and Human Daos, he reserved his opinion on Lao Mo's identity.
Donghua looked at Fuxi and said, "Human Emperor Fuxi has achieved the perfection of humanity, and his contributions to the Heavenly Court are immense. He can be made a Holy Venerable and relieved of his position as one of the Six Emperors."
"Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerate!"
Fuxi's calm face showed no emotion, but the position of Saint Venerable was something that absolutely could not be bypassed by him.
With the enfeoffment of Donghua, two of the Six Imperial Sovereigns were instantly lost, and above the Six Emperors came four Holy Venerables, each of whom was Hunyuan Saint, and in terms of strength and power, they were all top-tier beings in the Primordial Wilderness.
Just as Donghua had initially thought, he could have Four Emperors or eight emperors if he wanted to.
Donghua looked at Jieyin and Zhunti, and was about to say something when Zhunti spoke first:
"Your Great Heavenly Venerate, my brother and I have no intention of serving in the Heavenly Court. We only wish for the rise of the Western Region. This world advancement presents a great opportunity for the Western Region. Please forgive us, Your Great Heavenly Venerate!"
Donghua looked calmly at Zhunti. What Zhunti had just said was both within his expectations and unexpected.
Jieyin and Zhunti, the Three Pure Ones might submit, but they would not accept the Heavenly Court's bestowal of titles; otherwise, they would never have the possibility of surpassing Donghua in the Primordial Wilderness.
Nuwa accepted because her goal was no longer the Primordial Wilderness, but chaos, a fact that Donghua had long ago discerned.
After Zhunti speaking, he waited for Donghua's reply, but after waiting for a long time, he did not receive one. Instead, Donghua calmly looked at the two of them.
Jieyin sighed, knowing that his and his fellow disciples' plan had been exposed, and could only speak first.
"Your Great Heavenly Venerate, my fellow disciple and I have made some progress in this Three Paths Perfection, and have forged our own paths. We wish to establish another school, distinct from the Mystic Sect, which is the Buddhist Sect!"
The unhurried voice of the Jieyin resounded throughout the Lingxiao Hall, leaving everyone stunned for a long time.
Jieyin and Zhunti actually betrayed the Mystic Sect and established the Buddhist Sect.
At this moment, even the Taishang turned his gaze to the two of them, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent.
