The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 247 The Eternal Saint King, the Majestic Eastern King

The Yang spirit manifested the innate peach of immortality, and the thought of the number one was transformed into this object.

At this moment, Liang Yue is the true ruler of Kunlun Mountain, the real "Queen Mother of the West".

The Queen Mother of the West before us is nothing more than the essence left behind by the ancient Queen Mother.

Now Liang Yue revealed his true form and immediately absorbed the vital energy of the Queen Mother of the West.

"A thief of the Dharma-ending Age? Impossible!!"

The Queen Mother of the West was shocked as her divine form flickered. This person had actually controlled the innate treasure, the Peach Tree, and was doing so in the form of a mere mortal.

What kind of opportunity did this person obtain?
Why did it gain the approval of the innate peaches?

At this moment, thinking about these things is useless.

All of his own power was lost, taken away by the innate peach tree in the void.

boom!
The Queen Mother of the West could only watch helplessly as the Heaven-Turning Seal was applied.

boom!
In an instant, the Queen Mother of the West's soul was scattered, and her essence merged into the innate peach tree, causing the peaches to bloom and bear fruit. Ten enormous peaches blossomed from the jade-like treetop.

The peaches are white with a hint of red, crisp and tender, and exude a refreshing fragrance. Just one whiff is enough to fill your body with vital energy and cleanse your soul.

Where the Queen Mother disappeared, she left behind a fist-sized, naturally formed, snow-white mica.

This is the foundation of the Queen Mother of the West.

"The Queen Mother is dead?"

The leader of the Sun and Moon Celestials felt he had made a grave mistake; he shouldn't have brought this person in.

But who could have imagined that the Queen Mother, who had dominated the world, would die so easily?

On the other side, the Moon Goddess's beautiful eyes held a hint of confusion.

Is the Queen Mother of the West dead?

He was crushed to death by the Heaven-Turning Seal, like an ant in front of him.

The other party did it without lifting a finger.

Liang Yue swiftly captured the essence of the Queen Mother of the West into his hand.

"Run!"

The leader of the Sun, Moon, and Celestial Beings awakened the still-shocked people of the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom.

Only then did everyone realize what was happening, and they scattered like birds and beasts.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain.

The influence of the ten-thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image covered an area of ​​ten thousand miles, and no matter how they tried to escape, they could not escape Liang Yue's grasp.

The double pupils looked at the scattered crowd.

Whoosh! !

The double pupils activated the Thunder Eye Divine Power, and a bolt of lightning shot out from his eyes. The lightning split into thousands of fragments, accurately hitting the fleeing crowd.

Only one person escaped the net. This woman stood alone in the void, with a cold and aloof temperament. She had a pitiful appearance, but her eyes held a resolute intent, as if she wanted to perish together with Liang Yue.

As the approaching Yang God's Dharma Image drew nearer, the Taiyin Star Lord secretly channeled his true energy, preparing for a desperate, all-or-nothing confrontation.

Now that Liang Yue has absorbed the Queen Mother's cloud energy, his cultivation level is several times higher than before. With just a flick of his double pupils, the Moon Star Lord Chang Xi is unable to move.

Why not submit?

Liang Yue reverted to his true form, with the cold dragon like a long snake perched on his right shoulder, its sinister eyes fixed on Chang Xi. If the woman made the slightest move, it would immediately unleash a thunderous attack.

"A subject cannot serve two masters." Chang Xi looked directly into Liang Yue's eyes without fear.

"I am also the primordial master of the Peaches of Immortality and the Jade Pool, a being of the bloodline of the sun, moon, celestial beings, and Kuafu and Pangu. Am I not another 'Queen Mother of the West'?"

"If I am not qualified to be the Queen Mother of the West, can my remaining vital energy still qualify me as the Queen Mother of the West?"

Liang Yue said.

“Queen Mother of the West…” Chang Xi was lost in thought for a moment.

Upon closer examination, this statement makes sense.

The previous Queen Mother of the West was not the true Queen Mother of the West, but merely a manifestation of a small amount of primordial energy, and was irritable and cruel.

The person before her actually met the requirements of the Queen Mother of the West.

Seeing that he had no way out, the Moon Goddess pondered again and again before lowering his proud head.

"Chang Xi pays respects to the Queen Mother of the West."

The primordial energy and divine form of the Queen Mother of the West have been destroyed, and the Kunlun pantheon has changed hands; this is the arrangement of fate.

"From now on, you can call him Dongwanggong."

Liang Yue pointed a finger, and the life force of the innate peach turned into white light and fell into his forehead.

This life force repairs Chang Xi's hidden injuries and lies dormant deep within her bloodline. With just a thought from Liang Yue, Chang Xi will die on the spot.

"Thank you, Lord Dongwang." Chang Xi bowed gracefully, then followed Liang Yue to the starry sky.

Liang Yue withdrew all his supernatural powers and descended below the stars.

It wasn't that he was lustful; rather, he needed to keep Chang Xi to lead the people of the Western Queen Mother's Kingdom. The resurgence of the innate gods and demons was unstoppable, and they couldn't be killed off completely. It would be better to control one person and rule them indirectly.

The hybridity of innate gods and demons with humans can effectively increase the probability of lower-level humans cultivating immortality.

This woman is quite good; she seems calmer than most innate gods and demons, and much better than the previous leader of the Sun and Moon Celestials.

Endless chaos, narrow starry sky, filled with people.

An unfamiliar emperor stood in front of the crowd, looking at Liang Yue with gentle eyes.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Liang Yue smiled at everyone.

A thousand years later, the group of people who had secretly crossed the river of time meet again, amidst yet another great change of time.

However, the number of people seems a bit off; it's likely that others didn't come along.

"Many years have passed, but the patriarch's demeanor remains unchanged."

Lü Dongbin's words were full of vicissitudes.

I still remember the shock I felt when I first met the Immortal of Longevity. Now, we are all entering the Dao under the guidance of our ancestor.

Yuan Tiangang introduced Liang Yue, saying, "This is Emperor Yao, one of the Five Emperors of ancient times."

"This junior greets Emperor Yao." Liang Yue clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

"Please rise, there's no need for such formalities."

Emperor Yao, suspended in mid-air, looked at Liang Yue with immense satisfaction.

This is an exceptionally talented junior.

"The end of the Dharma has lasted for a thousand years. The feeling of waiting must be unbearable, right?" Emperor Yao did not ask Liang Yue why he was able to survive the end of the Dharma. This may be the biggest secret about Liang Yue.

"It really doesn't feel good."

Liang Yue smiled wryly.

The road ahead is long and arduous, and the dream of achieving perfect fulfillment is still far away, with no end in sight.

"How many years has Emperor Yao been here?"

"I wonder in what year, Lingbao, did you ever encounter Guangchengzi..."

When Emperor Yao saw Liang Yue's Heaven-Turning Seal and the twin swords, he actually understood what was going on, but he still asked him about it.

"Senior Guangchengzi has passed away..." Liang Yue briefly explained the situation.

Guang Chengzi's remains are still in Baiyun Dixiang.

After exchanging a few words with Emperor Yao, Liang Yue discovered that this person had nothing to do with the innate spirit silkworm.

"Who is it?"

Liang Yue knew that the innate spiritual silkworm was related to Guang Chengzi and Taiyi of Mount Tai.

I thought that Emperor Yao, one of the Five Emperors, knew about your secret, but now it seems that even Emperor Yao was unaware of this matter.

The two chatted as they arrived at Mount Buzhou and the Ruins of Guixu.

“Emperor Jun of the Sun…” Liang Yue frowned and pondered for a long time before saying, “Let’s not act rashly for now. We are not confident in dealing with Emperor Jun right now. Emperor Yao should suppress this place for the time being and come back later.”

If even a crippled Queen Mother of the West is so difficult to deal with, let alone the relatively intact Emperor Jun of the Sun.

"Then let's go out first, thank you for your trouble, Lingbao."

"Get ready." Liang Yue glanced at Chang Xi, the woman who had been pretending to be invisible in the corner, and quickly ran over.

Wow! !

The two dragons, one hot and one cold, floated into the air, and order was restored from chaos.

Click click click...

A tearing sound came from the void, and a dark crack appeared in front of everyone.

"Let's go!!"

Wow! !

Liang Yue led the group out of the crevice.

Emperor Yao did not retrieve his innate magical treasures, but left them here to suppress chaos.

Once chaos is clearly defined, even stronger ancient gods and demons will emerge, making the world even more chaotic, which is not in the best interests of humanity at this moment.

Whoosh! We arrived in the outside world, stepping onto the ruins of the mechanical city.

Emperor Yao took a deep breath, and the thin air entering his body carried a slight chill.

"It's been a long time, human world."

Liang Changming stood with his hands behind his back, sighing as he surveyed the broken walls and ruins.

Centuries of accumulation vanished.

The reconstruction of the spiritual energy industrial system remains uncertain, with no clear timeframe for when it will take.

Emperor Yao patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is but a minor matter. Lingbao has now integrated the bloodlines of the Queen Mother of the West, Guangchengzi, and Emperor Shun, and will surely walk the path of the Great Emperor of the Human Race. At that time, everything will be resolved."

"No, this is the Great Way."

Liang Yue turned around, looked directly into Emperor Yao's eyes, and said, "Power is certainly important, but I alone cannot control all things. A suitable system is the way to long-term stability."

Emperor Yao and other elders followed the path of human emperors who ascended to heaven through the ascension of their pets and even their chickens and dogs.

In modern terms, it would be a "saint-king" with eternal life who governs all things and rules over everything.

All living beings bow down at the feet of the sage king and obey the commands of the omnipotent Heavenly Emperor.

But Liang Yuezhi's ambitions lie elsewhere.

Such a human emperor is nothing more than a "Heavenly Way" devoid of emotion and humanity.

Because the sage king has no need for emotions, but the gods and immortals are moved by them, the three realms are in turmoil.

“This is not what I wish for,” Liang Yue said sincerely, looking at Emperor Yao.

He knew that these ancient people had made great sacrifices and had high hopes for him, hoping that he would succeed them in reviving the human race.

Of course, Liang Yue is willing to contribute some of his strength, but it would be best if everyone worked together.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to lead everyone.

"If there is no such method, what other way can be used to solve this problem?" Emperor Yao couldn't think of a solution.

The five emperors of the human race—Huangdi, Zhuanxu, Diku, Yao, and Shun—rose one after another, placing their hopes on the next generation.

After the Five Emperors, they still placed their hopes on the Sixth Emperor.

They had no better solutions, so they simply followed the ancient methods mechanically.

Chang Xi stood in the corner, looking out of place.

She overheard the conversation and looked at Liang Yue with curiosity.

Aren't all the myriad races this powerful? Could it be that the Corpse-Dissolving Immortals have another method? Or is it just a lie to shirk responsibility?

"It's very simple. We need not only a saintly king, but also a saintly system."

Liang Yue waved his hand.

Everyone entered Baiyun Imperial City.

In the center of the imperial capital, a primordial peach tree stands ten zhang tall, its roots firmly embedded in the grotto-heaven world.

The ten fruits on the peach tree bring life to this world.

Liang Yue stood under the tree, his discerning eyes scrutinizing the peaches.

This peach is a 500-year-old peach. Eating one will grant you a 500-year lifespan, cleanse your meridians, and enhance your physical attributes.

It's not time to allocate them yet.

Under the Bodhi tree, the people sat and discussed the Dao.

Lü Dongbin shared his insights from these years.

"Master, I have found the path to the Innate Golden Core and will break through soon."

Above the Nine Revolutions of the Golden Elixir is the Nine Revolutions of the Innate Golden Elixir.

The transition from the first to the third stage of the Innate Realm is equivalent to the Ghost Immortal Realm; the transition from the third to the sixth stage is equivalent to the Thunder Tribulation Ghost Immortal Realm.

Above that is the Yang Spirit.

Liang Yue thought for a moment and said, "You can take one peach later. Remember to write down your thoughts and pass them on to future generations."

"As ordered."

"By the way, what about the others?" Liang Yue finally voiced his doubts.

Xuanzang, Li Chunfeng, Zhang Sanfeng, and others have also disappeared without a trace.

Upon hearing this, Lü Dongbin smiled wryly and said, "We don't know either."

Many years ago, everyone lost contact.

"The other side of the stars is too vast; we'll search for it slowly later."

"Emperor Shun is suppressing the Dijiang deity of Penglai Mountain, but I do not know where Penglai is," Emperor Yao interjected from the side.

"We can look for it slowly in the future," Liang Yue said.

That's not his focus.

The most urgent task is to utilize the revived population to quickly establish a sound system and greatly enhance the human race's combat power.

Otherwise, if you take on all the responsibilities yourself, you'll probably be fighting your way through life.

Seeing that Liang Yue was not in a hurry, Emperor Yao became somewhat anxious and asked, "Where exactly is the system of sages you mentioned before?"

"The system of sages is not yet perfect, but there are already signs of it."

Liang Yue pointed, and the ground became transparent, revealing the human world.

In the Jade Kingdom, schools abound in the mortal realm.

Official schools and private academies were established in every region.

The Rain Department, Fire Department, Thunder Department... these six departments travel throughout the land, maintaining order.

The highest clouds, where Xiaotian and Xuanwu act on behalf of Heaven, monitor the Six Departments.

This was an ordinary scene, but Emperor Yao saw something special in it.

“The southeastern prefecture’s Liuyang County is experiencing a level C drought. Three inches of rain have been approved. The Rejuvenating Taoist priest of the Rain Department is in charge of the seedling-pulling technique.”

"As ordered!"

"Ghost soldiers have appeared in Black Mountain. Twenty Taoist priests with thunder magic are dispatched to subdue the demons and exorcise evil spirits."

"Yes!"

Commands were issued through the central "Lingxuzi" and executed in various locations.

Under the Chunyang Sect's system, cultivators participate in production, greatly increasing productivity.

"Under the system of sages, there is no way to exhaust or control the people; the only option is to unleash the power of cultivation at all costs..."

Throughout the entire Jade Kingdom, regardless of whether the land is barren or fertile, grain is harvested four times a year.

In extreme circumstances, such as plague, flood, or extreme drought, crops can grow overnight.

The medical and Taoist priests of the Plague Department solved most of the plagues and waterborne infectious diseases.

Except for its appearance, the Jade Kingdom is almost identical to modern times.

At this very moment, the Jade Kingdom has another major event—the Ascension Festival.

Crowds thronged the prefectures and counties across the country.

Li Tuo arranged all matters through the communication jade pendant.

"Are you ready for the journey of self-reflection?"

"Remember to maintain the mountain gate and do not cause any trouble."

"This time, we must not let any promising talents slip by."

The Chunyang Sect continues its inner and outer sect system, but this time the outer sect members are not menial laborers, but full-time ten-year "internship students".

At Li Tuo's suggestion, the inner sect was also divided into different academic systems and corresponding assessment systems.

In short, apart from the six ministries and their subordinate institutions, the inner and outer sects are now only places specifically for learning, no longer seizing large amounts of profit as before.

The group watched the entire journey from the mountain.

Emperor Yao couldn't help but exclaim, "Within a hundred years, the Jade Kingdom will surely become the strongest human nation in the world."

"It won't take a hundred years." Liang Yue looked at Yuan Tiangang, Liang Changming, and the others, and said with a smile, "The stage is set, and now it's time for you to shine."

"In sixty years, no, thirty years, we will surely restore a bright and clear world to our ancestors."

Liang Changming said excitedly.

The Chunyang Sect is now much weaker than when they left, but the people here have changed their mindset.

Feudal cultivation of immortality is gone; civilized cultivation of immortality will sow the seeds.

Everyone landed.

Lü Dongbin made his appearance as the Pure Yang Patriarch, then went into seclusion to break through to the next level. The others actively took over the responsibilities and began to transform the country.

Within the Heaven of Separation and Hatred.

In front of Zhu Yingtai's coffin.

Liang Yue held the essence left behind by the Queen Mother of the West before her death.

"Yingtai could very well become the Queen Mother of the West."
