Chapter 37: Four Emperors
After Daozu Hongjun left, Haotian was very helpless and had no choice but to go forward to discuss the affairs of heaven with the saints. However, Sanqing did not want the two saints of the West to interfere with the affairs of heaven.
Just listen, Taishang Laojun said: "Heaven is related to the development of the East, but we have to consider it in the long term. This matter should wait until Heaven is stabilized, and we have arranged everything in the earth and immortal world, and then everyone can come to discuss it!"
Taishang Laojun, however, said it to death. He said that Heaven is unique to the East, but he excluded the two saints from the West. Nuwa Empress did not object to Taishang Laojun's words. After all, Zhunti was in
She went too far in the Lich War, and naturally she would not stand with the West.
Zhunti was very angry at what Taishang Laojun said, so he wanted to go forward to argue, but he didn't want to be stopped by the saint in secret. Although saint Zhunti was confused, he didn't resist, and everything was like this
The matter has come to an end for now.
However, everyone understands that this is just the beginning, and the subsequent battle will become more intense, especially the positions of the Four Imperial Guards in Heaven, which are even more exciting.
Both Sanqing and Nuwa were very concerned about the matter in the Heavenly Court, so they quickly settled the matters in the Earthly Immortal Realm and then made an appointment to go to the Heavenly Court together.
Speaking of the Heavenly Court, Haotian and Yaochi were very angry. The saints divided up the Heavenly Court but cleaned up everything in the Heavenly Court without leaving anything behind. This was going too far.
Moreover, there was no manpower left for them in the Heavenly Court. If Haotian and Yaochi hadn't been able to meet some casual cultivators to temporarily run the Heavenly Court, they would have been able to become mere commanders.
In terms of materials, it was Yuanshi Tianzun who took the initiative. As for the manpower, it was the Master Tongtian who was to blame. Of course, Empress Nuwa did not let go of Heaven. Among them, the ten demon saints took away all of Heaven's supplies when they evacuated Heaven.
Most of it.
After sitting down, Taishang Laojun first made his attitude clear and said: "There is only one person in my sect, Xuandu, so I will not interfere in the affairs of heaven. Everything is up to you to discuss on your own!"
Taishang Laojun's withdrawal made Haotian and Queen Mother Xi feel relieved, thinking that the saints would not go too far. Unfortunately, he looked down upon Yuanshi Tianzun and Nuwa Empress.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Nuwa Empress both wanted to control the four emperors who assisted the Emperor of Heaven. In this way, they could isolate Haotian and Yaochi and control the heaven in their own hands.
Although Haotian and Yaochi have been boys in Zixiao Palace, they are ambitious, otherwise they would not have made many casual cultivators when they were boys. However, the two of them are still relatively aware of current affairs and understand that although they are subject to
The Dao Ancestor's order governs the Heavenly Court, but the real decision-makers in the Three Realms are the Saints, so I don't want to be too impatient at the beginning to avoid attracting the attention of the Saints.
The next person to speak was Yuanshi Tianzun, who said: "There are four imperial positions in the heaven to assist the emperor of heaven. There is a disciple of mine, Nanji, who can be the emperor of immortality!"
Speaking of the four emperors, although their positions are equal, the most powerful one should be Zhongtian Ziwei, the North Pole Emperor. He is in charge of the latitude and longitude of the sky and the earth, and leads the star gods of the three realms and the gods of mountains and rivers. He is the king of all phenomena and can call the wind and rain.
, to serve the thunder and lightning ghosts and gods. You must know that the Monster Clan's "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation" is closely related to this position. It's not that Yuanshi Tianzun doesn't want to take charge of this position, but that things can't be done too obviously, as that will make things worse.
The immortals of the three realms thought that it would be very detrimental to their reputation if they did things in vain and ignored the Emperor of Heaven.
Haotian and Yaochi had no objection to Yuanshi Tianzun's request, and nodded in approval. Seeing that Haotian and Yaochi were so knowledgeable made Yuanshi Tianzun feel happy.
However, Yuanshi Tianzun achieved his goal and inserted his hand into the heaven. The Nuwa Empress could not sit still and said: "The Emperor Gouchen Shanggong assisted the Jade Emperor in controlling the north and south poles and the three talents of heaven, earth and man.
Stars, and presiding over the war and revolution in the world, this position belongs to the demon clan!"
The words of Empress Nuwa made Sanqing frown. You must know that Emperor Gouchen is the only emperor among the four emperors who controls the demon clan. If he falls into the hands of the demon clan, it will cause trouble for them.
Necessary influence, but this position must not be obtained by Nuwa Empress.
Just listen, Yuanshi Tianzun said: "Junior Sister Nuwa's words are wrong. You must know that the position of Emperor Gouchen is in charge of the war and revolution in the world. Everyone knows the nature of the demon clan, whether it is a war between lich or a human race.
The massacres all show that their nature is bad and cannot be used for much purpose. If the demon clan becomes the Gou Chen Emperor, it will not be a blessing to the three realms, so this is absolutely impossible!"
Yuanshi Tianzun's words offended Empress Nuwa to death. She snorted coldly and said: "Then according to Senior Brother Yuanshi's opinion, is it best for you to teach the positions of these four emperors and fight alone?"
Of course Yuanshi Tianzun thought so in his heart, but it was unrealistic. However, he could not let Nuwa Empress sarcastically, so he sneered: "Everyone knows the nature of the demon clan, but I don't agree with this matter!"
The dispute between Yuanshi Tianzun and Nuwa Empress made Haotian and Yaochi very happy. As long as the saints were at odds, they would have a chance, so they kept their heads down and let each other argue.
Yuanshi Tianzun saw that Haotian and Yaochi were silent, so he said to the leader of Tongtian: "Junior Brother Tongtian, how do you think this position of Gouchen should be dealt with?"
Among the Three Pure Ones, the one with the least ambition for the post of Heavenly Court is Tongtian Cult Leader. Nowadays, Jiejiao is the trend of Ten Thousand Immortals, and Heavenly Court doesn’t take it seriously at all. The only person in Heaven who is suitable for Jiejiao is Zhongtian Ziwei
The North Pole Emperor is the only one with this position that can allow the demons of Jiejiao to master the power of the stars in the sky to speed up their own cultivation. However, this position is obviously very important. Empress Nuwa will definitely not agree to it, and neither will Yuanshi Tianzun.
Therefore, the leader of Tongtian did not mention this matter.
After hearing Yuanshi Tianzun's inquiry, Master Tongtian said calmly: "This matter is up to my senior brother, I have no objection!"
For Tongtian Cult Leader, these words made the already cracked relationship between him and Yuanshi Tianzun become worse. In desperation, Yuanshi Tianzun turned his attention to Taishang Laojun, hoping to get Taishang Laojun's support.
.
Seeing this, Taishang Laojun let out a long sigh and said: "The Heavenly Court has just been established, but the positions of these four emperors are left to assist Junior Brother Haotian. We still leave it to Junior Brother Haotian to gather the manpower on his own!".
As soon as Taishang Laojun said this, both Yuanshi Tianzun and Nuwa Empress could not help but change their expressions. Yuanshi Tianzun resisted Nuwa Empress, but he wanted to win the position of Gouchen Emperor. After all, among the four emperors, Chengtian was the first to follow suit.
The Emperor Hou Tu is the only one who belongs to Empress Hou Tu. This is a decree of heaven, even if they are saints, they cannot change it. Since then, there are only three positions left. Haotian is the Emperor of Heaven who was chosen by Tao Ancestor, but they cannot do too much.
However, the position of the Zhongtian Ziwei and the North Pole Emperor will remain, and the only two remaining positions are the Changsheng Emperor and the Gouchen Emperor.
Without the support of Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun could not overpower Empress Nuwa. He could only sigh and said: "What senior brother said is true, but this matter is my fault for forgetting Junior Brother Haotian!"
Yuanshi Tianzun said this when Nuwa was forced to a dead end. If Nuwa wanted to fight for the position of Emperor Gouchen again, she would first hate Haotian and Yaochi. This is not what a wise person would do. In desperation,
Empress Nuwa could only retreat.
Because the battle between Yuanshi Tianzun and Nuwa Empress allowed Haotian and Yaochi to get a big advantage and save the positions of Emperor Gouchen and Emperor Ziwei. However, he could not be happy. The four emperors of heaven could not arrange it at will.
Yes, to sit in this position, you must first be recognized by Heaven and have consistent attributes. However, it is very difficult to achieve this.
Yuanshi Tianzun and Nuwa Empress competed for the position of Emperor Ziwei for this reason. Speaking of it, the one who could fit the position of Emperor Ziwei among the three realms was the demon master Kunpeng. After all, he had been in charge of the "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation"
He knew Zhou Tianxingchen very well, but unfortunately, the actions of the demon master Kunpeng in the Lich War hurt the heart of Nuwa Empress, and it was impossible for Nuwa Empress to support him as Emperor Ziwei.
As for the position of Emperor Gouchen, there are not so many restrictions. Whether it is Chanjiao or Jiejiao, many people are suitable. Of course, the surviving demon saints among the demon clan are more suitable. After all, they are better than Chanjiao.
The disciples of Jie Jiao have more experience, and in terms of cultivation, they are also much higher than these people. Not to mention experience in fighting enemies, it is conceivable that they can save their lives from the lich war.
And we know how rich their experiences are.
As for Hongyun, I have explained it at the end of the previous chapter. The reason why Taoist Hongjun was not able to see Hongyun's origin was because he did not join the Tao and the secret of heaven was not revealed. After joining the Tao, Taoist Hongjun was already part of the way of heaven. Naturally,
The secrets of heaven can be straightened out, which allows the saint to see Hongyun's origin.
