Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 56: Dongyuan Central Palace, Welcome Moon Goddess

The sudden conversation and agreement between Wangshu and Qi Yu disrupted the rhythm of the Queen Mother of the West's banquet. In addition, the Queen Mother of the West's original purpose had been achieved. Therefore, this temporary banquet in the Yaochi Palace did not last too long and soon ended.

Outside the Yaochi Heavenly Palace, the process of the Xuanmen founding ceremony has now come to an end.

The chief officials of the Nine Departments, Three Ministries, Three Prefectures and other departments have now been conferred titles under the auspices of Dong Wanggong. At this moment, Dong Wanggong takes the stage on behalf of the Three Pure Ones to recite sacrificial speeches in front of the gods of Luotian, offering sacrifices to the way of heaven and completing the fortune of the Dongji ancestral temple.

As for why the Three Pure Ones themselves did not go on stage to offer sacrifices to heaven?
The reason for this is not difficult to guess. Firstly, although the Three Pure Ones are the founders of the Xuanmen sect, Dong Wanggong is the ancestral emperor of the heaven, and he was also conferred a title by Taiyi. Therefore, his offering sacrifices to heaven is in accordance with the will of heaven and cannot be considered as usurpation.

The second reason is that Taiyi suddenly intervened in the founding ceremony of Xuanmen, disrupting the original rhythm of the ceremony. In order not to affect the progress of the ceremony, the Three Pure Ones chose to go with the flow.

Anyway, for the Three Pure Ones, now that the destiny of the Xuanmen Immortal Dao has been officially established, there are no more major issues. The so-called Dongji Ancestral Temple is just a small matter for them.

And since Taiyi wanted to promote Dongwanggong, the Three Pure Ones were naturally willing to give in temporarily to show Xuanmen's obedience to the Emperor of Heaven and the Heavenly Court.

There is no doubt that through this move, the attitudes of the Three Pure Ones and Xuanmen will surely be heard by Heaven, and Taiyi will certainly understand the good intentions of the three Xuanmen Heavenly Masters. In the future, Heaven will not impose any restrictions on the development of Xuanmen, and such a good situation can at least continue until Taiyi decides to prove the Dao of Hunyuan.

As for whether Taiyi will change his attitude towards Xuanmen after his successful enlightenment, or whether the new Central Heavenly Emperor will continue Taiyi's decision after his failure and death, it is an unknown. At the moment, no one can speculate.

As for the Three Pure Ones' move, in fact, many powerful people present could see the Three Pure Ones' intentions, naturally, including Dong Wanggong himself.

However, it is obvious that Dong Wanggong does not care about the starting point of the Three Pure Ones, just as he does not care whether the Xuanmen ancestral temple is the ancestral temple of the immortals or the divine heaven.

All he wanted was the honor of the Emperor of Heaven and the authority of the Eastern Emperor of Heaven to rule the world.

Therefore, at this moment, taking advantage of the rare opportunity of the Three Pure Ones giving up power, Dong Wanggong put on a good show of being the Eastern Emperor, and gave orders to all the immortals on the altar of heaven. For a time, he was the most popular and glorious person.

The real powerful men of the Xuanmen sect did not care about this. Since the King of the East liked fame, let him take the limelight. After all, it was Taiyi who appointed him as the Emperor of the East, and the Three Pure Ones had also approved it. There was no need for them to make things difficult for the King of the East under such circumstances.

As long as Dong Wanggong can guarantee their interests in the Xuanmen ancestral temple, they don't mind supporting such a Heavenly Emperor who can consider the interests of everyone.

Such a scene is naturally what Dong Wanggong wants to see. He gives orders and no one dares to interfere. In his opinion, how can this not be a direct symbol of his great virtue that wins the submission of all the immortals?
With this mentality, Dong Wanggong struggled for a long time before announcing the official end of the Xuanmen founding ceremony.

At this point, many immortal gods of the Xuanmen sect officially returned to their positions, and naturally they had to enter the various departments of the ancestral temple, form teams, and exercise authority to make the big machine of the Dongji Ancestral Temple operate at the fastest speed and truly become the supreme ruler of the entire Eastern land.

Among them, in addition to the Emperor of Heaven and the Queen of Heaven who have to take charge of the overall situation and manage all internal and external affairs, the tasks of the nine emperors are the heaviest.

As the Emperor of the Six Heavens Cave and the Emperor of the Eastern Water Palace, Qi Yu had a lot of responsibilities - organizing the water elements, taking over the Tianhe River, and dividing the rivers of the Eastern Poles were all within his authority. In addition, some stubborn forces rooted in the major water veins of the Eastern Poles also needed Qi Yu to dispatch troops and remove them one by one. With so many things to do, Qi Yu would hardly have a chance to rest during the long period of time he was away.

At this moment, Qi Yu, like the other eight emperors, immediately went to the Dongyuan Palace to take over all matters related to Dongji water transportation.

Although the Dongji ancestral temple had just been built, some clerks with magical powers had already been in place. After Qi Yu arrived at the Dongyuan Central Palace, an immortal official soon came forward and presented the Water Palace roster for Qi Yu to review.

As the location of the Dongji Water Palace, under the Dongyuan Central Palace, there are eight palaces in the upper cave, twelve palaces in the middle cave, and sixteen palaces in the Yuantai, totaling thirty-six palaces in Dongyuan. Under the thirty-six palaces, there are numerous Gongcaoyuan and teaching schools. The Dongyuan Central Palace is in charge of the Shenxiao Palace, Dushuisi, etc.

At the same time, under the Dongyuan Central Palace, there is also the Tianhe Navy, which is a very important armed force in the Dongji Ancestral Temple. Under the Water Palace, there are a total of one million heavenly soldiers on the books!

It can be said that with the Tianhe Water Army alone, the authority of the Dongyuan Palace has expanded to an incredible level. It is no wonder that after Qi Yu received the imperial decree from the Water Palace in advance, the strong men of the Zulong Court reacted so fiercely and the King of the East was so dissatisfied.

Such huge benefits were taken away, and the dragon clan was almost completely kicked out. If Qi Yu were faced with such a situation, he would also be dissatisfied and retaliate. It would not be surprising at all.

In this way, Qi Yu spent a full half day before he finally sorted out all the matters under the Dongyuan Palace. Some basic imperial edicts had also been conveyed, waiting for the immortal officials and divine officials below to execute them.

After doing all this, Qi Yu missed his registered disciple more and more. If Ying Ze was here, why would he bother with so much paperwork?

"It seems that I still need to transfer some of the direct descendants of the Dharma lineage to the ancestral temple as soon as possible to form a team to take charge of the affairs of the Water Palace on my behalf."

At this moment, Qi Yu, the newly enthroned Emperor Dongyuan, was already thinking about how to be lazy.

Then he remembered another important matter.

"Now that I have a moment of peace, it's time to call Wangshu over and meet her."

"I hope this woman can calm down. Otherwise, this Dongyuan Palace may not be able to withstand her disturbance."

Thinking of this, Qi Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Then he summoned the fairy children serving in the palace of Dongyuan and gave them orders.

"Let's go to the Queen Mother of Heaven in Yaochi Palace and ask the innate moon goddess Wangshu to come to Dongyuan Palace to meet me."
