Chapter 770 Four Cardinal Celestial Emperors
After Heavenly Saint Haitian left, Kunlun Dao had been thinking about what he had said. The Great Dao Ocean that produced the vitalities of the Great Dao was definitely not simple. For the orthodoxies that lived in the boundless world, if they did not advance, they would regress. If the Great Dao Ocean really had supreme fortune, how could the Immortal Dao miss it? Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Therefore, he deliberated for an hour before he set off for the Purple Cloud Palace.
"Yes, I understand. You can go back."
After listening to Kunlun Dao, Jiang Changsheng calmly said.
Kunlun Dao hastily bowed and left. After walking out of the Purple Cloud Palace, he laughed at himself. As expected, nothing could be hidden from his teacher.
In the Purple Cloud Palace.
Jiang Changsheng was not calm.
First, he encountered the Chaos Ocean, and now, the Great Dao Ocean appeared. He did not believe that the two were unrelated.
His consciousness immediately traveled through time and space towards the Chaos Ocean.
Arriving at the midst of a violent storm, Jiang Changsheng directly called for the Punishment Jealousy.
The thunderclouds parted and Punishment Jealousy appeared. He asked curiously, "What's the matter? Don't tell me you want to deal with the will of the Great Dao so soon? Don't be rash."
He was puzzled. This guy did not look rash.
"I want to know the origin of the Great Dao Ocean," Jiang Changsheng said bluntly. He had even changed to a more friendlier tone. This was his sign to be more familiar with each other.
When Punishment Jealousy heard that, his tone became even more curious. "The Great Dao Ocean has appeared? It seems like the power of the Chaos Ocean has descended on the boundless world. That Great Dao Ocean is good for you people. The Great Dao Ocean originates from the Chaos Ocean. The Chaos Ocean gives birth to everything in the boundless world, and one of the ocean areas that created the 3000 Great Daos was the Great Dao Ocean. After the Chaos Ocean was expelled, only the Great Dao Ocean remained. The Great Dao Ocean is located at the peak of the boundless world and is in an independent void. It is very hard for you people to find."
"The boundless world is expanding indefinitely, and so is the Chaotic Ocean that gave birth to the boundless world. It's just that it has been curbed at the beginning. However, the Great Dao Ocean is located in the boundless world, so it will also expand indefinitely. However, its rate of expansion is far inferior to the boundless world. Every time it expands to a certain point, the Great Dao will expel a portion of the Great Dao Ocean, which contains all the laws of the 3000 Great Daos. It is because of this that so many people would fight over it. You should try and fight for it too. Obtaining the Great Dao Ocean is very beneficial to you."
He hoped that Jiang Changsheng would be as strong as possible. Even though he no longer had any fighting strength, he could tell that Jiang Changsheng's approximate strength was still far from the will of the Great Dao.
Jiang Changsheng nodded and asked, "Since the Great Dao Ocean can help orthodoxies become stronger, why didn't the will of the Great Dao restrain it?"
"Hahaha, the three of us are only the rulers of the boundless world. The one who can truly control everything is Dao, unless we combine our powers. Right now, the will of the Great Dao cannot control the Great Dao Ocean. He has been in a deep sleep, unless an orthodoxy is powerful enough to alarm him. However, as long as he wakes up, he can easily suppress the anomalies in the boundless world."
Punishment Jealousy answered, his voice filled with jealousy.
Jiang Changsheng asked in confusion, "All of you are the will of the Great Dao, so why is he the strongest?"
"That's how he was born. Just like all beings, there's also a difference in talent. If you ask me, who should I ask? Dao? I still don't want to see him." Punishment Jealousy snorted.
Jiang Changsheng was amused. He suddenly realized that this Punishment Jealousy was a little cute. He did not have the indifference of the Great Dao. Instead, he looked like a mortal with his own emotions. He even suspected that this fellow had been possessed by a mortal or that he was a transmigrator.
Punishment Jealousy's resentment seemed to have been aroused and began to talk non-stop, his tone filled with dissatisfaction.
Dao separated into three wills of the Great Dao, but there was still a difference in strength between the wills of the Great Dao. According to Punishment Jealousy, he was the second strongest, while Punishment Source was the weakest. It was easy for Punishment Jealousy to defeat Punishment Source, but even if they worked together, they were not the opponent of the other will of the Great Dao.
Jiang Changsheng asked why the will of the Great Dao wanted to destroy him and not Punishment Source.
"My name is Punishment Jealousy. You should understand my personality from my name. I often contradict him, and that guy, Punishment Jealousy, only knows how to please…" The moment Punishment Jealousy mentioned this, he was furious.
Jiang Changsheng could not help but mourn. As expected, the culture of sucking up to one's superior was also present in a cultivation world.
They chatted for a long time before Jiang Changsheng bade farewell and left. On the other hand, Punishment Jealousy still felt unsatisfied from the chat. Before they parted, he even asked Jiang Changsheng to come and find him at any time.
When his will returned to the Purple Cloud Palace, Jiang Changsheng smiled and thought to himself, "As expected, no one can defeat loneliness. This is also the case for Punishment Jealousy."
Even after knowing the use of the Great Dao Ocean, he was still not tempted.
The creation that contained the 3000 Great Daos sounded extraordinary, but with it, he still could not break away from the Great Dao. So why should he get involved?
Jiang Changsheng closed his eyes and focused on comprehending the Primordial Great Dao.
After staying in the Chaos Ocean for such a long time, he would obtain insights and integrate them into the Primordial Great Dao, allowing it to possess the characteristics of infinite expansion.
However, these could only be used to embellish the Primordial Great Dao. Only after the Primordial Great Dao took shape could it begin to strengthen.
With the increase in Jiang Changsheng's current cultivation, he felt that after the Primordial Great Dao took shape, his strength would soar greatly. It was no exaggeration to say that at that time, his enemy could only be the will of the Great Dao, no one else could compare!
Next, he would immerse himself in the Primordial Chaos!
With that thought in mind, Jiang Changsheng decided to usher in an unprecedented seclusion.
He had not been in seclusion for many years, so he should calm down.
The moment he closed his eyes, it would last for a very long time. Ninety percent of the people of the Immortal Dao could not even live for such a long period of time.
…
Time passed. The sun and moon of the Immortal Dao circulated. One era after another passed and a new era arrived.
The worlds around the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm began to rise, and the world that was in the most limelight was the Earth Immortal Realm. The person in charge of this world was Xingtian. Right now, Xingtian was one of the few mighty figures in the Immortal Dao and was ranked as a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal. He wielded powerful connections and his strength was all-encompassing. His existence made the myriad worlds not dare to underestimate the Earth Immortal Realm.
Xingtian's proudest accomplishment was defeating the Future Buddha of the Buddhist Sect. As one of the main leaders of the Buddhist Sect, the Future Buddha controlled the Buddhist Kingdom and had extremely high amounts of merit. There were very few people in the world who could break his golden body, but Xingtian did it. He broke his golden body with one swing of his ax. Up until now, there was still a mountain stream he had carved out on Spirit Mountain. It stretched from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. It was extremely spectacular.
In the heavens above, the Heavenly Court relied on their control of the Primordial World to greatly increase their influence, far exceeding the past. The number of Heaven Realms they established exceeded tens of millions, and the main Heaven Realm was still in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm. The Immortal Gods gathered here were all ancient gods, and every one of them were legendary existences with great myths.
On this day, in the Lingxiao Palace.
The Celestial Emperor sat on one side while Great Emperor Ziwei, Jiang Xiu, sat on the other. They seemed to be on equal footing, but his dragon throne was far inferior to the Celestial Emperor's.
Immortal Gods gathered in the hall. Most of them were the earliest batch of Immortal Gods. As the Dao Ancestor was nostalgic, so was the Celestial Emperor. Even if these Immortal Gods made mistakes, they would be recruited again as long as their sins were cleansed away.
"Right now, the Heavenly Court has spread too widely. Therefore, I wish to choose four Cardinal Celestial Emperors and divide the Heavenly Court into four parts, each under the control of one Cardinal Celestial Emperor. As the center of power is in the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm, we will oversee the four Cardinal Heavenly Courts. What do you think?"
The Celestial Emperor slowly said. Even though Jiang Xiu was in charge most of the time, the Celestial Emperor's prestige was unshakable.
Chen Li took the lead and smiled. "Your Majesty's idea is good. The Heavenly Court should indeed be divided into levels. Only by constantly separating the ranks can we better and more efficiently govern the Immortal Dao."
Since Heavenly Lord Chen Li had spoken, the other Immortal Gods naturally agreed. No matter how they looked at it, this was beneficial for them. Not only would it improve their status, but it would also lessen their worries and allow them to better comprehend the Dao.
The Celestial Emperor continued, "Regarding the selection of the Four Cardinal Celestial Emperors, I am prepared to select them from the myriad worlds. Any Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal can compete for the position."
Such a plan was also recognized by the Immortal Gods.
The Heavenly Court needed a strong Celestial Emperor to lead them in order to deal with sects. Therefore, the Celestial Emperors chosen from competitions would undoubtedly be stronger than if they were directly chosen.
Soon after, the Celestial Emperor began to make arrangements for this matter. He had to spread the news first, and the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals who had lost the competition had to be comforted. Otherwise, it would tarnish the reputation of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals who lost.
A defeated Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was still a Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, so the Heavenly Court had no choice but to be cautious.
In the next hundred years, the news that the Heavenly Court was going to elect Celestial Emperors of the four cardinal directions spread out, and it aroused the spirits of the myriad worlds. The sect masters of various sects were tempted. Becoming a Celestial Emperor could better benefit their sects. Furthermore, they would also be the one of the rulers of the Heavenly Court. With such a position, their status would be completely different.
More and more Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals announced their intention to compete to be part of the Four Direction Celestial Emperors.
For example, Sovereign Jing Jue, Celestial Venerable, Jiang Wanxuan, Kong Que, Xingtian, Ye Zhan, Zhou Bushi, Chi Xinzi, and so on, which made this matter the most important event in the myriad worlds.
The competition for the positions of the Four Cardinal Celestial Emperors was divided into many forms, but in summary, it was a one-on-one competition based on strength.
Xingtian, who was one of the people whom the crowd held the most expectations for, was the first to be defeated. Furthermore, he had lost to an expert from the Earth Immortal Realm.
The Yellow Emperor!
The Human Emperor who unified the Human Race in the Earth Immortal Realm was far inferior to Xingtian in terms of reputation in the Immortal Dao because he rarely left the Earth Immortal Realm. Who would have expected that he would behead Xingtian and obtain a domineering victory? Even if Xingtian continued to fight with his chest as his eyes and his navel as his mouth, he was still not his opponent and was eventually sealed in the Earth Immortal Realm.
Not only did Xingtian's defeat cause an uproar, but Jiang Wanxuan, who had mastered the Clone Dao, had also been defeated by one of his clansmen. Furthermore, the other party was a junior who was only three million years old.
Zhou Bushi, who had once helped the Heavenly Court ascend, was defeated by the eldest disciple of an immortal sect in the sea area of the Zenith Heaven Immortal Realm.
Immortal Beidou had lost to Jin Chanzi of the Buddhist Sect.
Wait a minute!
The competition for the position of the Four Cardinal Celestial Emperors had brought about a huge change in the structure of the Immortal Dao.
It was only then that the public realized that they could not see through the Immortal Dao at all. The Immortal Dao was so vast that it was hard to determine who was stronger and who was weaker.
In the Purple Cloud Palace on the 33rd Heaven.
Jiang Changsheng slowly opened his eyes. He stretched his body and felt comfortable.
He calculated with his fingers and discovered that he had been in seclusion for 6.47 million years. Unknowingly, he was over 40 million years old.
In the past six million years, the Immortal Dao had encountered many troubles, but they did not disturb him. Furthermore, the so-called Great Dao Ocean and the mysterious Immeasurable Lord had not entered the Immortal Dao.
Coincidentally, Bai Qi was refining pills. When she saw that he had woken up, she hastily came over and excitedly said, "Master, you're finally awake. Right now, the selection of the Four Cardinal Celestial Emperors is going on. Tell me, which of them can become the Four Cardinal Celestial Emperors?"
