Primordial Era: I rule the great sect and command all immortals.

Chapter 77 Five Horses Sever Chiyou, Unifying the World

Meanwhile, the Yellow Emperor brought Chi You to the main camp, summoned the three armies, and intended to publicly execute Chi You, the culprit, to uphold the dignity of the human emperor.

Who would have thought that even with the sharpness of the "Xuanyuan Sword," it would be difficult to kill Chi You? Every time Chi You's limbs and head were cut off, his true form as a great shaman would reunite, making him impossible to kill!

"Hahaha! You brat, Xuanyuan, you want to kill me? Don't even dream about it! I, Chi You, am immortal!"

It turns out that Chi You used his own blood as a catalyst and employed a secret technique of the Wu tribe to forge a true copper head and iron body, and his primordial spirit was closely connected to his body, allowing him to be reborn repeatedly.

Even the "Witch-Slaying Sword," once a supreme treasure of the demon race, could not harm its life!

"Teacher, what should we do?"

Seeing that Chi You was difficult to kill, the Yellow Emperor's face turned ashen, and he lost face in front of his army.

"I'll go and take a look."

Having obtained Chi You's "Blood-Transforming Divine Blade" and dozens of "Chi You Flags" from the Yellow Emperor, Chaos Daojun had reaped considerable gains. Now, arriving at the execution ground, he looked at the still arrogant Chi You and smiled slightly.

"My disciple, do not be anxious! As the saying goes, those who follow the right path will find many helpers, while those who stray from it will find few. Now that you are an emperor and have encountered difficulties, people will come to your aid."

Originally, Chaos Dao Lord was prepared to personally kill Chi You and end this great war. However, just before he was about to make his move, he calculated with his fingers, had a sudden thought, and stopped in his tracks. Chi You should not have died at his hands.

"Teacher, what does this mean?"

The Yellow Emperor was taken aback, not understanding why his teacher had stopped making a move, but there was no need for the Chaos Dao Lord to explain further.

Just then, several dragon roars echoed from the void. The Yellow Emperor and many immortal masters looked up and saw a boy leading five dragon horses descending from the sky.

Upon arriving before the Human Emperor, the boy stepped forward and said to the Yellow Emperor, "The two lords of Huoyun Cave have ordered me to deliver five dragon horses to slay Chiyou."

"Good! Good! Child, please thank the two human emperors, Fuxi and Shennong, for their help!"

Upon hearing this, the Yellow Emperor was overjoyed. He had indeed encountered trouble, but there was someone who could help him. He, Xuanyuan, was truly destined by Heaven.

With the help of the five sacred dragon horses, the Yellow Emperor gave an order, and the soldiers tied Chi You's limbs and head to the dragon horses. He then ordered five generals to drive the dragon horses in five directions. The five dragon horses neighed and began to run in five directions.

Chi You endured the immense power of the five sacred beasts galloping forward. His body was taut, even emitting a "crunching" sound. But even with the five sacred beasts and dragon horses exerting their full strength, they still could not tear Chi You's body apart.

Upon seeing this, the Yellow Emperor drew his "Xuanyuan Sword" and slashed at Chi You's neck and limbs five times. Chi You let out a miserable scream as his entire body was split into six pieces.

Even so, Chi You was not dead yet. Chi You laughed and said, "You little brat, what can you do to me?"

The corpse, which had been divided into six parts, began to gradually reassemble. The Yellow Emperor was greatly alarmed and hurriedly ordered five dragon horses to be driven to the desolate borderlands and buried underground. Many disciples from the Jie Sect, the Chan Sect, and various scattered immortals joined forces to set up a sealing formation, which prevented the corpse from being resurrected.

Seeing that the situation was settled, the immortals and gods from all sides paid homage to the other emperor and returned to their mountains to cultivate. Chaos Dao Lord also returned to Wuyi Mountain and went into seclusion again, awaiting the opening of the Peach Banquet.

After quelling the rebellion of the Jiuli tribe, the Yellow Emperor truly gained the recognition of all the tribes of the prehistoric human race and became the true ruler of the world.

Not long after the Yellow Emperor executed Chiyou, Shennong's son Yuwang, dissatisfied with the Yellow Emperor's rule, actually launched a rebellion.

The Yellow Emperor could not tolerate the chaos that had broken out again in the newly settled world, so he raised an army to attack Yugang. The Yellow Emperor fought Yugang at Banquan Field.

After three battles, they defeated Yugang.

The Yellow Emperor demoted and enfeoffed Emperor Yan, Jiang Yuwang, as a vassal, and placed him in Luoshui. From then on, the Yellow Emperor unified the entire Dongsheng Shenzhou. At the same time, some human tribes in Nanzhanbuzhou, Xiniuhezhou, and Beijuluzhou also submitted to the Yellow Emperor. From then on, the human race was unified.

After unifying the world, the Yellow Emperor divided the land into states and fields, established rites and music, and educated the people.

He also determined the names of all things in the world and divided the stars into twenty-eight constellations.

The ten Heavenly Stems (甲乙) are used to record days, and the twelve Earthly Branches (子丑) are used to record months, with sixty days constituting one Jiazi cycle.

The Yellow Emperor further divided the land into nine regions, with eight households forming a well, three wells forming a neighborhood, three neighborhoods forming a group, three groups forming a village, five villages forming a town, ten towns forming a capital, ten capitals forming a division, and ten divisions forming a province. He established official positions, appointed left and right grand supervisors to oversee all the states, and set up one hundred and twenty official positions, including three dukes, three junior dukes, four assistants, four historians, six ministers, and nine virtuous officials, to manage the country.

Six prohibitions were imposed on officials at all levels: prohibition of excessive use of sound, color, clothing, fragrance, taste, and living space, requiring officials to be frugal and simple and opposing extravagance.

He proposed governing the country with virtue, "cultivating virtue and strengthening the army", and using "virtue" to govern the world. He advocated cultivating virtue together, acting only with benevolence, and establishing righteousness through cultivating virtue. In particular, he established "ministers of nine virtues" to teach the people nine virtues, namely filial piety, kindness, literature, trustworthiness, speech, respect, loyalty, courage, and righteousness.

In utilizing talent, we seek out the virtuous, select the virtuous, appoint the capable, and use talent according to its suitability.

The country was governed by law, with "rites, laws and regulations" and "rule by law without change". Those who committed serious crimes were sentenced to exile, and those who committed heinous crimes were sentenced to beheading.

The Yellow Emperor also made many inventions in agricultural production, the most important of which was the implementation of the field system.

Before the Yellow Emperor, fields were boundless and cultivated countless times. To prevent disputes, the Yellow Emperor measured the land by step and re-divided the land in the country into a "well" shape, with the central plot being the "public land" and the surrounding eight plots being the "private land".

At this time, the written characters created by Emperor Fuxi could no longer adequately record events in the world, so Emperor Huangdi ordered Cangjie to create more practical characters.

After completing all this, the Yellow Emperor began touring the world and performing the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai.

The Yellow Emperor then inquired about methods of cultivating the Dao and nourishing life from his teachers, the Chaos Dao Lord and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

Grateful for his teacher's guidance, the Yellow Emperor moved the site of the Chaos Dao Lord's worship from the Shangqing Temple and built the Chaos Dao Temple independently.

"As expected of my third disciple."

On Mount Wuyi, Li Yunjing sensed that his incense power had increased dozens of times. After a quick calculation, he immediately understood what was going on. He sighed inwardly, thinking that accepting the Three Emperors as his direct disciples was a brilliant move. It had achieved the best results in both his own cultivation and the spread of the Jie Sect.

With the help of the Yellow Emperor, Chaos Dao Lord often manifested in various human tribes in his avatar to do things such as saving lives, healing the sick, and spreading knowledge.

In this way, the name of the Jie Sect became more and more famous, and even became the representative of the Xuanmen (mystical sects). On the contrary, the Renjiao (human sect) and Chanjiao (explaining sect) were not prominent, especially the Chanjiao, which did not even exist in the minds of the prehistoric beings.
