Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now
Chapter 286: Granting Supernatural Powers, Wheel of Fortune or Purple Cloud, Five-Colored Stone Shat
In the primordial world, the world was in turmoil because of Houtu Niangniang of the Nine Netherworlds Reincarnation, and also because of the Heavenly Dao Ancestor Zixiao Hongjun.
All living beings were filled with excitement.
His gaze swept beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens to the eternally indestructible Purple Cloud Palace situated in the Chaos Realm, and also down to the Reincarnation Palace below, where all beings in the Nine Netherworlds reincarnate.
They don't know how to choose!
Now, the Great Dao governs the primordial world, and the concepts of the three paths of Heaven, Earth, and Man have been engraved in the minds of all living beings, who are aware of these three paths.
The Heavenly Dao elects the Heavenly Dao Saints, the Earthly Dao appoints the Earthly Dao Saints, but the Human Dao has not yet emerged, as the strength and realm of the Human Dao's representative have not yet reached the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal level, so it is not yet possible to determine the Human Dao Saints.
Now, the two paths of Heaven and Earth have issued a public announcement, ordering all living beings in the primordial world to rush to the Purple Cloud Palace or the Palace of Reincarnation to hear about the Great Dao of Reincarnation, the law of Heaven.
It also informs all living beings that this sermon establishes the Earthly Saint and the Heavenly Saint.
After only a moment of contemplation, many quasi-saints who had once listened to the Dao in Zixiao Palace and survived the era of witches and demons, felt a stirring in their minds and knew the location of their own Great Dao. They appeared in the primordial world and headed straight for Zixiao Palace in the chaotic land beyond the thirty-three heavens.
The one who preached to three thousand guests and explained the method of severing the three corpses was revered by the masses at that time as Hongjun Daozu, meaning the ancestor of the Dao.
Besides, the rogue cultivators of the prehistoric world, after some thought, realized that they were probably not qualified to go to Zixiao Palace to seize the three Heavenly Dao Saint positions.
The reason is that a Great Immortal could not possibly defeat a Quasi-Saint, which is a natural disadvantage.
And so, in this way, the quasi-saints and great powers of the primordial world are all rushing to the Zixiao Palace in the Chaos Land, while the great Luo Golden Immortals of the primordial world are hiding in the Nine Nether Lands, heading to the Samsara Palace where Houtu is located.
All living beings were mobilized. Not only were the quasi-saints and golden immortals who had been in seclusion for a long time, but even the quasi-saint powerhouses of the Buddhist sects in the Western Paradise and the Heavenly Court of the Primordial World, as well as the Buddhist emperors and heavenly emperors, were all rushing to Zixiao Palace.
Haotian Yaochi, having been a disciple of Hongjun Daozu, believed he had a place in the competition for the three Heavenly Saints and headed to Zixiao Palace without hesitation.
As for the other quasi-saints, they all held a hopeful attitude.
After all, among the three thousand guests in the mortal world of Zixiao Palace, only three Heavenly Saints were selected, making it one in a thousand.
Those beings who can become quasi-saints are certainly not ordinary; each one is blessed with good fortune and is extraordinary.
And so, the primordial world was swept up in a frenzy of rushing to the Samsara Palace and the Zixiao Palace to preach.
"..."
The primordial Southern Continent.
Oh no, due to the reshaping of the primordial world, the human race now resides in the eastern lands.
The original Southern Continent became the territory of various immortal and divine sects.
Xiniu Hezhou and Beiju Luzhou remain unchanged.
However, the names of the four great continents have changed, becoming similar to those during the Lich Wars period.
The Eastern Continent, the Western Continent, the Southern Continent, and the Northern Darkness.
Meanwhile, at the Qin Dynasty's Xianyang Palace.
Below, civil and military officials paid homage, while the emperor sat upright on his dragon throne, holding his daughter Ying Yinman, looking down at the civil and military officials below.
After the battle between heaven and man ended, Bai Qi, the Martial Lord of Wu'an, returned to the Nine Netherworld Reincarnation Land with Houtu. As for Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and the other three Great Luo Golden Immortals who were forged from the supreme innate spiritual root Huang Zhongli, they perished in the battle between heaven and man.
Of the more than 600,000 Qin troops, nearly 500,000 were killed or wounded.
However, unlike the Qin Dynasty, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist side also suffered more than half of their casualties. All five hundred golden Arhats perished, the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism suffered damage to their foundations, and at least three of the Heavenly Court's immortals and gods belonging to the Haotian lineage perished.
Moreover, he was one of those Great Immortals who wasn't listed on the Investiture of the Gods. He was truly dead and could only wait for the immeasurable calamity to be born before he could be reincarnated.
"Your Majesty, our Great Qin is now rebuilding from ruins. What methods do you have?" Li Si stepped forward and asked.
He had no objection to Ying Yinman staying on the dragon throne, nor did any of the civil or military officials.
With the emperor holding Ying Yinman, who was barely up to his shoulder, his gaze sharpened, and he said with a half-smile, "I have already won the war between heaven and man!"
"As for the Great Qin, everything is in ruins and needs rebuilding. What methods are there to deal with it?!"
"If I have to come up with a solution, then what use are you civil and military officials to me?!"
His shout instilled fear in both civil and military officials.
They had witnessed firsthand the ferocity of His Majesty the First Emperor.
Although the Twelve Capital Gods and Demons Formation set up by Hongjun and Shendu caused a great deal of aftershocks that shattered the primordial world, resulting in heavy casualties among all living beings.
However, the human race was spared from disaster because of the existence of the Nine Cauldrons of the human race, which protected the human race's fortune from the aftermath of the sage's attack.
As for other races, may they have good fortune.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Immediately, both civil and military officials trembled, knelt on both knees, and lowered their eyes to speak.
"okay!"
"Since none of you can do it, I will do it myself!"
"Issue an edict ordering all schools of thought, including the agricultural and medical schools—well, all schools of thought except Confucianism—to be summoned to Xianyang City!"
"Keep what benefits the people, and get rid of what's useless!"
After he finished speaking, a voice from below rang out, "Your Majesty is wise!" and then he fell silent again.
Even God had some doubts about this, wondering if he had ruined these people!
Little did he know that his cruelty was such that whether his memorials would be adopted was one thing, but they were unlikely to be accepted.
After all this time, whose memorials have been adopted by His Majesty the First Emperor?!
not a single one!
Looking at these "indecisive" civil and military officials, Shen Du couldn't help but feel annoyed.
Since humanity has been restored and the throne of the Human Emperor has been reclaimed, there is no need for this clone of him to continue being Qin Shi Huang in the Qin Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Shen Du slowly rose, holding Ying Yinman in his arms. He stood before the dragon throne, turned around under the gaze of the civil and military officials, and placed Ying Yinman on the dragon throne.
"Father, this..." Ying Yinman was shocked. She dared not be so rebellious.
But upon seeing those majestic eyes, she fell silent.
"I am about to achieve perfect merit and will soon ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave to live with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race!"
"From now on, the ruler of Great Qin will be my eldest princess, Ying Yinman!"
"Do any of you have any doubts?"
His voice was like a booming bell, echoing in the ears of the civil and military officials. They were about to refute the idea that a woman could not be emperor, but when they thought of their emperor's domineering behavior, they swallowed their breath.
On second thought, since His Majesty the First Emperor was going to ascend to the Fire Cloud Cave, he would inevitably be far removed from the mortal world.
After His Majesty the First Emperor leaves Qin, they can then elect another prince to succeed him. Wouldn't that be wonderful?!
But just when they thought they had victory in the bag...
Shen Du slowly raised his hand, and a wheel engraved with twelve talismans appeared before everyone's eyes.
He gently stroked Ying Yinman's hair with his palm and spoke softly, "I am leaving the Great Qin. From now on, you will be the ruler of the Great Qin, the ruler of the human race, and the emperor of all people!"
"These are the twelve talismans, corresponding to the twelve zodiac animals!"
A stream of light flowed into Ying Yinman's body.
At that moment, Shen Du said, word by word, "A noble horse will keep you away from pain!"
"A kind dog will live forever!"
"The swift rabbit lets you travel through time!"
"The sacred dragon makes you fearless!" "The strong ox gives you the strength to move mountains and rivers!"
"A free chicken lets you soar to the moon!"
"The adorable pig's captivating gaze is irresistible."
"The cunning mouse makes you believe what you've been tricked into!"
"The lurking snake makes you omnipresent!"
"The majestic tiger teaches you to distinguish between good and evil!"
"The mysterious sheep will help you see through illusions!"
"The agile monkey allows you to be versatile!"
After saying that, Shendu looked deeply at Ying Yinman, his figure gradually turning into an illusion. This was the first time he had given someone his original divine power, which also corresponded to the twelve divine powers he had during the Jackie Chan Adventures era.
He possesses twelve primordial divine abilities bestowed upon him by himself, and his strength has risen from that of a mortal to the mid-stage of a Primordial Golden Immortal.
After mastering all the knowledge, one may be able to reach the late stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm.
However, since it is a gift, God could naturally take it back, but there is no need for it.
He wanted to see what kind of waves he could stir up in this primordial world with his unused supernatural powers.
The reason it's no longer used is simply because the chaotic power of the Chaos Law is far more powerful than these twelve innate divine abilities.
At this moment, as twelve golden rays of light flowed into Ying Yinman's body, she felt that her essence had been sublimated. With a wave of her hand, she could destroy the heavens and the earth; with a thought, she could travel millions of miles; and with a roar, she could spew dragon flames, among other supernatural powers.
The avatar of the Divine Capital gradually faded into illusion, and finally, under the gaze of Ying Yinman and the many civil and military officials, it turned into strands of golden light and disappeared before their eyes.
"Respectfully seeing His Majesty off on the successful completion of his mission!"
"Respectfully sending His Majesty on his ascension to immortality!"
In an instant, the many civil and military officials came to their senses and began to offer their congratulations.
They also understood that bringing down Ying Yinman, this woman, would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
When their gazes fell upon Ying Yinman, they could feel an overwhelming pressure, a power that could kill them with its bare hands.
In a moment of reflection, he abandoned his previous idea of recommending a young master to become the new ruler of Qin.
"Father, your merits are complete. Now, I am the ruler of Great Qin, the emperor of all under heaven!"
As soon as Ying Yinman uttered her words, numerous civil and military officials bowed down in worship. Her voice carried throughout the territory of Qin, and many people knew that Qin had a new ruler.
Upon learning that the Qin Dynasty had changed its masters, the remnants of the six states beyond the borders began to stir again.
However, it remains to be seen whether the remnants of the six former states can overthrow the Qin Dynasty in the same way as history has unfolded.
In the world of immortals and heroes, the Han Dynasty naturally has the help of immortals and gods behind it. However, the immortals and gods of today have no time to manage the mortal world. They have all gone to the Reincarnation Palace under the Nine Netherworlds or the Purple Cloud Palace in the Chaos Land.
In a little-known corner, atop Huaguo Mountain, the ancestral vein of the Ten Provinces, a five-colored divine stone shimmering with five-colored light suddenly exploded, and a living being sprang out from it.
They are the protagonists of the next era.
This should have been a matter of concern within the Buddhist community, but due to the two places where the sermons were held, the news of the monkey's birth remained unknown.
If the primordial world had not become what it is today, but had remained in the state of the Three Realms, the waves stirred up by the birth of this monkey would surely have shocked the Three Realms.
But now, it's nothing more than a grain of cinnabar in the ocean.
"..."
heaven.
Lunar star.
Surrounded by the power of Yin, Chang Xi, with strands of silver hair flowing down her back, was immersed in the water, with only her head showing. In the pool, Chang'e from the Moon Palace was massaging and bathing her.
"Comfortable!"
"Husband, why don't you get down?"
Chang Xi glanced teasingly at Shen Du, who was sitting by the pool not far away, not daring to remove his armor.
A dark line appeared between Shen Du's brows. Was he going into the pool?
How could Chang Xi say something like that?!
This cold pool, imbued with the power of Yin, would freeze anyone who wasn't a being who cultivated the Yin Way or was born on the Yin Star. If they stepped into the pool, they would likely be frozen into an inexhaustible ice sculpture.
Even though he is now the Lord of the Sun Star, wielding the true fire of the sun in the world, if he falls into this cold pool, he will probably catch some minor illness just like a mortal.
Chang'e of the Moon Palace, who serves Chang Xi, is a being that Chang Xi enlightened in the Taiyin Star. She only finds the cold pool containing Taiyin power comfortable.
"Xi'er, I've taken care of the affairs of the Great Qin. The human realm has already made arrangements. I will go into seclusion for a hundred years to fully assist me in becoming a Primordial Golden Immortal. After that, I will take over the power of the human realm's representative and confer the title of Humanity Saint!"
"Xi'er, do you want the position of a saint of humanity?"
Chang Xi narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her hand to splash water, and said with a smile, "Husband, is this an attempt to abuse power for personal gain?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Du retorted, "As a humanitarian advocate, what's wrong with me abusing my power for personal gain?!"
"That one from Zixiao Palace, in order to repay the karmic debt in the West, also abused his power for personal gain, handing over the two positions of succession to Zhunti and Jieyin!"
"I'm giving this to Xi'er, does it mean Xi'er doesn't want it?"
After a few questions, Chang Xi replied softly, her voice as melodious as a lark's, "How could I not want it? It's my husband's gift, why wouldn't I accept it?"
A sage of the Heavenly Way is merely a puppet of the Heavenly Way.
So, the sage of the earthly way and the sage of the human way should also be, in principle.
In reality, the attainment of the status of the Earthly Saint and the Human Saint does not require the Primordial Purple Qi to communicate; it is only necessary for the Earthly Representative and the Human Representative to nod to each other.
Unlike the Heavenly Sages, the Sagehoods of the Earthly and Human Paths are a win-win situation for both sides.
It is not dominated by one party.
This is how things should be in the natural order.
However, due to Hongjun's selfishness and that of the Heavenly Dao, he switched to using the Primordial Purple Qi to communicate with the Heavenly Dao, thereby enabling the Heavenly Dao to attain the status of a Saint.
Also due to the Primordial Purple Qi, the Heavenly Sage was manipulated at will by the Heavenly Dao's representative and the Heavenly Dao itself.
It's not a win-win situation at all.
This is why the three ancestors of the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin spoke up and said that the Heavenly Saint was a puppet of the Heavenly Dao.
What is a saint who is completely unable to control his own realm if not a puppet?!
On the side of the Human Way Saint and the Earth Way Saint, they can voluntarily relinquish their positions.
On the side of Heaven, stripping oneself of the Heavenly Dao Saint status will also severely injure the Heavenly Dao Saint.
Even a puppet that fights desperately to reclaim its freedom will suffer severe injuries and die. What else could a Heavenly Saint be but a puppet?!
"Xi'er, if you don't come up, we'll..."
Before Shen Du could finish speaking, the Taiyin Cold Water was splashed at him, causing Shen Du to shiver and gasp.
"Go and go into seclusion to cultivate!"
"He really thinks about being suppressed down there every day!"
"As expected, a dragon can't change its nature!"
