Chapter 166 Totems Transform into Auspicious Beasts, and the Underworld Opens Up a Netherworld Court
Chapter 166 Totems Transform into Auspicious Beasts, and the Underworld Opens Up a Netherworld Court
In ancient times, many great sages emerged among the human race.
There was a man named Suiren who invented fire by drilling wood, and from then on, the human race passed down the torch from generation to generation, continuing to this day.
Later, the human race experienced the reigns of the Three Sovereigns and the establishment of order by the Five Emperors, and the human race flourished, thus once again standing at the top of all races.
During the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, the Human Sovereign ruled the primordial world, his status was comparable to that of the Heavenly Emperor, and he could govern the three realms of the primordial world.
Therefore, the kingdom ruled by the human emperor was also called the divine dynasty. At that time, immortals and gods came to pay homage, and hundreds of millions of races submitted to him.
At the end of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, there was a human emperor named Yu the Great who cast nine tripods to bring peace to the world, turning the public world into a private world.
The human race's destiny then dispersed again, never to converge once more, and the divine dynasty evolved into the destiny imperial dynasty and the destiny dynasty.
The Dynasty of Destiny, its position comparable to the Primordial Heavenly Court!
The Human Emperor resides in the Divine Dynasty, his status comparable to that of the Jade Emperor. With a single decree, the Three Realms submit, and no one dares to disobey his orders.
When the Xia dynasty came to rule the world, the human race's fortune dissipated, and the Human Emperor became the Human King, his status declined, and he was no longer the overlord.
The Divine Dynasty of Destiny is no more, it has fallen to become the Imperial Dynasty of Destiny, residing in the primordial wilderness, protecting billions of humankind.
Even so, the King of Men should not be underestimated.
The position of the human king is extremely prestigious, second only to the Heavenly Emperor.
Even the last human king, Di Xin, was protected by the fortune of the human race and could be compared to the Heavenly Emperor.
Today, King Wu Ji Fa offered sacrifices to Heaven, using prayers to ignite the flame of humanity and forge a dynasty of destiny for humankind.
The Great Zhou Kingdom was thus established.
Unfortunately, King Wu Ji Fa suffered a calamity in the Red Sand Formation, which further diminished his status, and he was no longer a king.
Even though he established the Great Zhou Dynasty, he only became the Zhou Emperor, whose status was much lower than that of the King of Men.
"Heaven has shown its favor; the aura is purple-blue!"
"Unfortunately, the pillar of destiny of the Great Zhou Kingdom was just half a step away from completing its earth-shattering transformation."
Xin Huan arrived in Xiqi City and witnessed King Wu's sacrifice to Heaven, which led to the establishment of a dynasty. She couldn't help but exclaim.
The Dynasty of Fortune reigns supreme over the nine provinces of the human world, its fortunes shining like purple gold, naturally protected by the supreme fortune of the human race.
Its supreme ruler can be called the King of Men, whose position is comparable to that of the Great Emperor.
In comparison, the Qi Yun Dynasty was three points weaker than the Qi Yun Imperial Dynasty, and could only be given the title of Emperor.
Xin Huan couldn't help but sigh with regret, because fate is something that is predetermined at birth and cannot be changed.
The pillar of destiny stands upright, supported by the heavens.
A dynasty gathers unparalleled fortune, which can ignite the flame of humanity and transform auspicious totems into divine beasts of fortune, which then protect the region and achieve hegemony in the human world.
If a human emperor has rendered meritorious service to heaven and earth, and to the human race and society, he may open up the underworld and establish a nether empire, becoming a ghost emperor.
Humans have a lifespan in the Yang realm, while ghosts have a lifespan in the Yin realm.
Just as there are dynasties on earth, there are also courts in the underworld.
Houtu Niangniang transformed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, becoming the creator of the Earthly Realm and opening up the endless Netherworld.
The underworld is vast and boundless, with an endless expanse of dark land.
Ghosts have a lifespan in the underworld. If their lifespan is not completed, they cannot be reincarnated. Therefore, there is also a royal court in the underworld.
In ancient times, the five emperors of the human race opened up the endless underworld after their deaths, thus establishing the five ghost emperors.
Having achieved their goals in the underworld, the Five Emperors relinquished their positions as the Five Ghost Emperors and ascended to the Fiery Cloud Grotto.
The Five Emperors were rewarded for their contributions to Heaven and Earth and to the human race. Therefore, they attained the Primordial State.
After that, the Five Emperors ruled over the five directions, merged with the power of the Heavenly Dao, and rose to become supreme beings of the Primordial Chaos level.
"Congratulations, Your Highness, on establishing the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"From this point on, he will rule over a region, enjoy the supreme fortune of the human race, and establish his dominance in the primordial world, achieving great success."
When Xin Huan arrived in Xiqi City, he bowed to Ji Fa to show his respect and avoid being impolite.
"Brother Xin Huan!"
"You're finally back."
Ji Fa was quite pleased to see Xin Huan return, but there was no truly capable person to oversee the city of Xiqi.
He felt much more at ease after Xin Huan returned.
"Brother Wang, Prime Minister!"
"Xin Huan greets you."
Xin Huan arrived in the city, greeted everyone, and after exchanging pleasantries, he sat down again.
"Nephew/Grandson!"
"I wonder if your trip went smoothly?"
Jiang Ziya looked at Xin Huan and couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle-Master!"
"I have made proper arrangements for my four disciples. They have now become the four guardians of the Heavenly Court, guarding the four Heavenly Gates."
Xin Huan pointed to the heavens and spoke.
The Four Demon Generals are Xin Huan's disciples and also the fourth-generation direct disciples of Yu Xu, possessing a very powerful background.
After ascending to heaven, the four, through the recommendation of the Azure Emperor, seized the divine positions of the Four Heavenly Kings and joined the ranks of heavenly generals.
This starting point already surpasses that of many wandering immortals.
Mortal immortals ascend to the upper realm, where they become officials, soldiers, or minor clerks, but do not enter the ranks of the true immortals.
The famous Taoist Marshal Ma, also known as the Three-Eyed Lord Ma, started as a celestial official when he ascended to the Heavenly Realm. Eventually, he achieved great merit and became a righteous god of the Fire Department, attaining the Dao and becoming the Great Emperor Huaguang.
When Marshal Ma ascended to Heaven, he was appointed as the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, which was not as good as the Four Demon Generals of Jiameng Pass!
The four generals of the Demon Clan were granted the divine titles of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Heavenly Court, which is a fourth-rank divine title.
This rank of divine office is generally held by Xuanxian cultivators, or even great cultivators at the Golden Immortal level.
Given their immense backgrounds and the recommendation of the Qinghua Emperor, they were granted these divine positions.
"The Four Heavenly Kings of Heaven?"
"The Four Heavenly Kings of Heaven?"
"This kind of divine position already ranks at the peak of the Heavenly Generals. If we take another step forward, we will become Star Lords of the Heavenly Court."
Ziya knew this very well and nodded in agreement.
The Heavenly Court is strictly hierarchical.
Mortals, immortals, and ghost immortals, even if they go to the Heavenly Court, can only serve as low-ranking immortals such as strongmen.
Further up, there are heavenly soldiers and celestial officials.
Although this kind of official position is not considered high-ranking, it is the most common starting point for most celestial cultivators.
Above that are the Heavenly Generals.
This place contains all the celestial bodies, numerous divine generals, as well as Taoist divine generals such as the Four Duty Officers and the Twelve Earthly Branches.
These divine positions vary in rank, and if one can hold one of these positions, one can also achieve the immortal Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.
Above the Heavenly Generals are the Star Lords.
The Star Lords hold the power over the origins of stars beyond the realm, wielding immense authority, which cultivators can use to achieve the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.
If a cultivator refines the origin of divine authority, reverses the innate state, and achieves the Great Luo status, then he can attain the position of Great Emperor.
In Buddhism, the Great Golden Immortal is called the Buddha.
Such great supernatural powers are also known as great enlightenment, possessing immeasurable supernatural abilities and boundless creations, which cannot be attained by those without great perseverance.
In Taoism, the Great Golden Immortal is called the Lord of the Tao.
In the path of the gods, only those who attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal Dao Fruit can be bestowed the title of Great Emperor of the Gods.
The four demon generals achieved such merits, which was no easy feat, so Ziya had no objection to it.
Leaving aside the unusual events that occurred in Xiqi.
On the other hand, the establishment of the Western Zhou Dynasty caused a stir in the Qi, which quickly attracted the attention of many cultivators.
It is said that the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect returned to the mountains after escaping their predicament last time, and devoted themselves to quiet cultivation.
Having witnessed this scene, the twelve Golden Immortals immediately summoned their disciples and sent them to the mortal realm.
At Ziyang Cave on Qingfeng Mountain, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun summoned his disciples and invited them to a gathering in the Peach Garden.
The Pure Void Moral True Lord said, "Now that Xiqi has established the Great Zhou Dynasty and is acting in accordance with Heaven's will, it is blessed with immense fortune. You are cultivating in the mountains, so you may descend and take a trip!"
"Your senior brother suffered a misfortune some time ago, leaving none of my disciples in Xiqi!"
"Now that I have returned to the mountain for a short period of quiet cultivation, it will be very difficult for me to descend the mountain at this time. I would be grateful if you could make the trip for me."
Under the tutelage of the Pure Void Moral True Lord, there were still two disciples. The eldest disciple, Huang Tianhua, had already died in the great calamity.
Now only Yang Ren remains as a disciple.
Upon hearing this, Yang Renyi was immediately perplexed.
