Water elemental became a god, ultimately becoming the master of heaven, earth, mountains, and rivers

Chapter 55 The Trinity, the Cornerstone of the Divine Palace
The tombs and treasuries are divided into those with Heavenly Stems and those with Earthly Branches.

The "Xu Fire Tomb" is formed by the interaction of the five elements in the earthly branches Chen, Xu, Chou, and Wei, and contains the principle of "the place where the five elements return to their final destination, the end point of all things".

It has the meaning of tomb or warehouse.

The "Xu Fire Tomb" is a fire repository, and fire is the official of the metal day master. Therefore, the "Xu Fire Tomb" can store official coins, hibiscus oil, kiln tiles, firearms, weapons, and other items related to "fire and conflict".

Chen Shunan suddenly realized.

So it turns out that the Twelve Lines of the South China Sea used the blue-hot molten match from the [Xu Fire Tomb] to carry hibiscus oil and bypass customs inspections to travel north?

now,

The [Xu Fire Tomb] in front of Chen Shunan had no radiant color, nor any substantial shape.

It floats there quietly, seemingly eternal and existing alongside heaven and earth.

Following the call of his heart, Chen Shunan reached out his hand, his fingertips emitting a blue light, and gently touched the [Xu Fire Tomb].

Hmph!

As the [戌火墓库] merged into Chen Shun'an's body, he seemed to be born with knowledge, possessing a vast amount of knowledge and mysteries that flowed through his mind.

"The immortals follow the sun and moon to gather mysteries. With their mortal bodies and the destiny of the four pillars and eight gods, they may take food and water, refine internal and external elixirs, perform divination and accumulate good deeds, or shed their forms and gather qi. This is a method of using external things to distinguish the false from the true."

The divine can be bestowed by heaven or transformed by heaven. The divine is created from clay and straw, and its form is sculpted into a golden statue with incense and fire.
The innate divine beings are born in response to the times. They understand the cycle of the seasons by observing the rise and fall of rainwater, and they know the change of the four seasons by picking ripe melons and letting them fall from their stems. They understand the essence of the five elements, life and death, wind, fire, mountain, forest, and immortality by observing the rise and fall of day and night.

"To refine oneself with the essence of heaven and earth... and ultimately to transform one's body into that essence, to pluck the heart of heaven from the divine body, is called attaining the Dao."

At that moment, Chen Shunan seemed to understand something.

He is the [Great Emperor of the Upper Abyss of the Netherworld]. Although his origins are unknown, since he is an existence above the first-grade divine talisman, he must also be an innate deity.

In other words, the Water Emperor came first, then the Water Gods of the first to ninth ranks, such as Taiyi Xuanming, and then the incense offerings.

Therefore, Chen Shunan was not poisoned by wishes and incense offerings, nor was he swayed by the daily chatter of those who sought blessings.

As an innate deity, he can refine himself, perfect his authority, and construct a divine palace by extracting various 'essences'.

However, due to his current weak power, he can only extract the immortal opportunities that have already 'condensed their essence', and he cannot yet perceive the essence of heaven and earth out of thin air.

This blue-green match might have been refined with all sorts of immortal restrictions and a whole host of other things.

But setting aside the outward appearances and focusing on the essence, it still contains a very thin trace of the [戌火墓库].

Boom! !

As the [戌火墓库] merged into Chen Shun'an's body.

The strange world before Chen Shunan's eyes had undergone a complete transformation.

The mournful black rain gradually subsided.

A gentle, pure golden light, capable of instantly dispelling all worries and distractions, descended from the sky.

It touched the ground and rippled outwards.

As the golden light spread, the previously cracked and scorched soil became vibrant and covered with jade bricks and bluestone.

Finally, a magnificent palace adorned with carved beams and painted rafters, glazed tiles, and precious jade could be vaguely seen.

The shrine is small, covering only a little over an acre, making it feel somewhat cramped and confined.

On the throne in the very center of the temple, there was only a hazy, illusory statue that bore a resemblance to the facial features of Chen Shunan.

Baogao Temple offers incense to the Water God!
Chen Shunan, this upstart, finally has his own 'nest'!

It is quite obvious, however, that this divine palace currently only possesses the essence of '戌火墓库' (Xu Fire Tomb).

Therefore, it seems somewhat superficial and unrealistic.

At that moment, Chen Shunan vaguely realized that his status as the Water Emperor was also a trinity.

And this [戌火墓库] (Xu Fire Tomb) happens to match a certain position, which can add fuel to the fire. Sure enough, Chen Shunan's thoughts changed, and information appeared in his field of vision.

[Authority: The Trinity]

[The Trinity: Before the creation of heaven and earth, the Water Emperor already possessed a primordial state, harmonizing yin and yang and resetting the universe. After the initial separation of heaven and earth, he visited the Great Abyss, where he cultivated for countless years, mastering the root of life and creation, and the energy of annihilation of all things. Later, when heaven and earth stabilized, beings born from wet eggs and wombs were conceived. The Great Emperor then initiated a calamity to guide spirits, uttering heavenly laws and transmitting various wondrous paths. The Dao gives birth to one, one gives birth to three, three gives birth to myriad laws, among which water-based laws are the most numerous.]

Therefore, the Great Emperor of the Upper Abyss of the Netherworld has three positions: first, 'Qiankun'; second, 'Yushengmie'; and third, 'Miaodao Shuiyuan'.

[Revived Position: Qiankun (1)]

[The essence of the divine way: the tomb of Xu Fire (one of the four tombs of the Earthly Branches)]

Chen Shunan had never seen so many zero fractional symbols before, and he fell silent for a moment.

However, this is also a good thing, as it shows that the potential of the 'Qiankun' position is limitless.

This divine palace, which is closely related to Chen Shun'an, is actually based on the three elements of Qiankun, Yushengmie, and Miaodao Shuiyuan.

It can be said that one is prosperous and both are prosperous, and one is deprived of both.

……

"The shrine is already taking shape. Perhaps I can respond to the believers and actively cast my gaze upon them?"

Chen Shunan stepped forward and walked along the passageway into the depths of the shrine.

The so-called carved beams and painted rafters, and glazed tile roofs, are nothing but empty names.

This temple was extremely fragile; Chen Shunan could even crack the stone slabs by stepping on them with just a little force.

He climbed the steps, leaped onto the incense altar, and without hesitation, sat down cross-legged, merging into the blurry statue.

Emperor Shuiyuan, return to your position.

In an instant, Chen Shunan's body trembled slightly, his eyes washed clean of all impurities, becoming deep and ancient, as if they contained the brilliance of countless exploding stars, as well as the desolate loneliness of the end of heaven and earth.

But upon closer inspection, they returned to their original simplicity, showing no abnormality whatsoever; they were simply a pair of clear, bright eyes.

At this moment, Chen Shunan's hesitation, weakness, and emotions seemed to have become much more blurred and diluted.

They become rational and indifferent, possessing a certain divinity.

There is an incense burner at my feet.

Among them stood dozens of incense sticks, some thick and some thin, burning softly with flickering embers.

Various indistinct and clear murmurs came from within.

Chen Shunan sat high on his throne, unmoved, but his gaze flickered as he cast his eyes on the purest of wishes.

...

Yinding Street, a large courtyard.

"The ruler of the world, the emperor of the four seas, the ruler of the ocean, Qiao Jinxuan, the ruler of the Qianning Kingdom, to Emperor Baoqing of the Changbai Holy Dynasty... No, this translation is not acceptable, or it will be rejected again."

With a bright white candle and a dim lamp, Scholar Ma sat upright at his desk by the window, writing something earnestly.

In the shabby and dilapidated house, only this elm wood desk was exceptionally clean and tidy, with all the necessary writing materials.

By candlelight, Ma was mending clothes, one leg crossed between her legs and the other dangling off the bed, occasionally dozing off.

"Alas, if we don't translate it this way, it might be considered deceiving the emperor, and if discovered, it would be punishable by death..." Scholar Ma sighed softly.

Startled by the word 'beheading,' Madam Ma suddenly came to her senses and whispered,

"Of so many people, why were you, a student of the Imperial Academy, chosen to translate the official documents?"

　The setting will be gradually revealed... Readers unfamiliar with the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, the Four Pillars of Destiny, and the Ten Gods, don't worry, it won't be deliberately mysterious or written in a dry style. I'll try to explain the setting in a simple and easy-to-understand way through the plot. That's all~~~
