Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 30: The Mysterious Riddler, the Moral God
Hearing this, Lingbao Tianzun at the top nodded slightly. It was obvious that he was quite satisfied with Qi Yu's statement.

However, even though he was satisfied in his heart and his first impression of Qi Yu was quite good, Lingbao Tianzun was still not in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he looked at the two senior brothers beside him.

Now, the Xuanmen sect is about to be established. As a new legal system jointly developed by his three fellow apprentices, and with the slogan that the immortal way wants to be respected on par with the divine way, the Xuanmen sect's momentum must be great enough to be worthy of the Three Pure Ones' positioning of the Xuanmen sect.

To this end, Xuanmen naturally recruited immortals from all walks of life, summoned many wise men in the ancient times, and made friends with all parties in order to enrich the Dongji ancestral temple.

It is for this reason that in recent times, with the nod of the Three Pure Ones, Xuanmen has accepted a lot of goodwill from various sacred beings in the prehistoric world, widely selected allies between heaven and earth, and absorbed their disciples into the Xuanmen ancestral temple.

As a result, many direct descendants of the gods' lineage turned to the Xuanmen immortal way and entered the Dongji ancestral temple. They would be granted the position of immortal official as soon as the Xuanmen was established.

For this reason, many powerful gods even took the initiative to trade with Xuanmen, and approached high-level Xuanmen figures such as Dong Wangong and Xi Wangmu, just to send them disciples and seek a future in Xuanmen.

In fact, this is the main way of dealing with the world for the ancient gods - they often take the initiative to take root in various parts of heaven and earth in order to make their roots grow strong. You are in me and I am in you. This supports their huge power and enables them to possess terrifying strength that even the Heavenly Court cannot do anything about.

Of course, as the seat of the Three Pure Ones, Xuanmen naturally has high requirements and thresholds, and it is impossible for it to accept all the bad ones.

People like Qi Yu, who has the Queen Mother of the West as a guarantor, the support of the Daiyu Sea God lineage, and a young talent from the God Clan who has achieved the level of a Half-Step Taoist at a young age, naturally meet the requirements of Xuanmen and the Three Pure Ones.

Therefore, a hero like Qi Yu is willing to join Xuanmen, and Xuanmen also needs new forces like Qi Yu to join. The two sides should have hit it off, and everything should have come naturally.

But at the moment, this is obviously not possible.

But the problem lies in Qi Yu's request.

It should be noted that Qi Yu’s request was not simply to join the Dongji ancestral temple and serve as an immortal official.

What he wanted was to go straight into the water palace of the Dongji ancestral temple, and what he sought was the position of the emperor of the ancestral temple!
Obviously, his intention was to occupy a high position in the Xuanmen ancestral temple and establish a foundation as soon as he entered Xuanmen.

This is no small matter.

If an ordinary person did this, it would be like asking for too much, blackmailing the Xuanmen and actively provoking the Three Pure Ones.

However, Qi Yu did not do so without any words - he exchanged important information about the riot in Tianhe and the birth of the innate water eye. He also had mastered some methods to deal with the flood in Tianhe. With the guarantee of the Queen Mother of the West, she strongly recommended Qi Yu to enter the ancestral temple of Xuanmen.

All these factors combined were enough to make the Three Pure Ones hesitate.

Obviously, the Queen Mother of the West also informed the Three Purities that there was suspected to be a quasi-saint in the Daiyu lineage, and that Qi Yu's action was instructed by that great master, which made it difficult for the Three Purities to make a decision.

If we agree, such a decision would be simply rash and how can we convince the public?
If you don't agree, the matter of Tianhe is of great importance, and Qi Yu is also very sincere. Are you going to ignore it?

This caused the Three Pure Ones' attitude to waver.

Finally, after some thought, the Three Pure Ones made the following decision - they released some news about the Qi-Yu affair, which attracted the attention of all the gods of Xuanmen.

If Qi Yu can deal with the questioning of the gods, even if he uses the gods' force to fight against them, it will prove that he is qualified to take the position of the emperor of the ancestral court and directly manage the water transportation of Dongji.

And if we cannot deal with such arrogant people, why should the Three Pure Ones worry about them?

The only one who would be slapped in the face would be the Queen Mother of the West who had strongly recommended Qi Yu to the throne.

At this moment, Lingbao Tianzun remained silent, but looked at Daode Tianzun and Yuanshi Tianzun, obviously waiting for the Xuanmen gods in the main hall of Yuxu Palace to speak. Moreover, he also wanted to see what his two senior brothers thought.

At this juncture, Yuanshi Tianzun naturally would not say much. His attitude was similar to that of Lingbao Tianzun and he would not change his previous decision based on the first impression.

Instead, it was the Lord of Morality, who was always calm and rarely spoke in such occasions, who suddenly spoke at this moment.

The Lord of Dao and Morality suddenly asked Qi Yu.

"My friend, you are from the Daiyu lineage, and you inherited the Taoist tradition of Yujiang in the past. Is that right?"

Hearing this, Qi Yu was slightly startled. He always had a feeling that the Lord of Morality in front of him seemed to have seen something, but at the moment, he obviously could not make any test, so he just replied.

"Reporting to the Heavenly Lord, that is correct."

"Yujiang, he is a great god from the ancient times. He once dominated the Tianhuang era and had great magical powers. Even if he is compared to the Three Emperors, I'm afraid it's not impossible."

After hearing Qi Yu's answer, Lord Daode said this, as if he was talking to himself, but also as if he was speaking specifically for everyone present to hear.

"If he is a disciple of his sect, he must have received the true teachings of the Sea God. It would be a good story if the descendants of the Water Ancestor were in charge of the Water Palace."

Having said this, the Lord of Morality suddenly stopped talking and just looked at Qi Yu with a smile, which made the latter feel even more heavy-hearted.

Could it be that this Taoist master, the head of the Three Pure Ones, has already seen something at this moment?
You can't really mean that?
Not to mention Qi Yu's surprise, at this moment, all the Xuanmen gods in Yuxu Palace also felt confused.

After all, what Daode Tianzun said was somewhat nonsensical and really surprising. Didn’t you see that even Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun who were beside him couldn’t understand the meaning of their eldest brother’s words at this moment?

As for the Lord of Morality, seeing that no one spoke, he did not seem to intend to give them any more time to think. He just spoke again and slowly continued to speak to Qi Yu.

"In this case, how about you join my Xuan Sect's ancestral temple and take charge of the Dongji Water Palace for me?"

The last words of Daode Tianzun came very suddenly, which surprised Yuanshi Tianzun and Lingbao Tianzun. The gods of Xuanmen present were all dumbfounded. They were just asking about his origins? How did things evolve to this point in the blink of an eye?
This is really too weird!
Just when most of the strong men in the hall were quite surprised and didn't know how to start, suddenly, a voice sounded in the hall, expressing a completely different opinion.

"Tianzun, no!"

The person who spoke was a powerful god sitting in the hall. There was mist surrounding him. It was Luo Tian Dao Jun who was in the Water Yuan Avenue.

At this moment, the Taoist Lord stood up, bowed towards the Three Pure Ones, and then began to speak.

"Three Heavenly Lords, fellow Taoists, this boy is only a half-step Taoist Lord. He has not yet achieved the Great Dao, yet he dares to talk about promoting the Immortal Dao and serving the Ancestral Temple. How arrogant is he?"

"The Zuting Water Palace is connected to the Kunlun Heavenly River above and the Dongji Water Element Veins below. It is the basis of our Xuanmen water transport. It is of great importance. How can we treat it as a joke?"

"Even if we are the founder of Xuan Sect and we have established the Dongji Ancestral Temple to rule the heavens, we need to set up the Water Palace and appoint an emperor. There are Dao Lords who can take on the important task. Why should we make a casual cultivator who has not made any contribution the emperor? Isn't this like holding Tai'a upside down and disregarding the reputation of Xuan Sect?"

"I hope the Heavenly Lord will reconsider and take back his order!"
