Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 251 Qi Yu Proves His Dao (Part 1)

The primordial era never counts years.

In the blink of an eye, three thousand years have quietly passed. Many major events have occurred in the Three Realms, such as the Dragon Mother who had fallen into demonic possession being beheaded and displayed to the public, the remnants of the demon race being completely incorporated into Phoenix Perch Mountain, and the West's preparations to establish a great religion to suppress the demonic sects, which is another unusual event.

But compared to another piece of news, all of these things seemed insignificant.

That is, the Black Emperor is preparing to attain enlightenment.

Unlike Taiyi's sudden abdication and attainment of enlightenment, the news of Qi Yu's attainment of enlightenment spread far and wide from the very beginning.

Naturally, this was initially just a rumor from the underworld. Although it was shocking, it was not enough to convince people. It wasn't until later, when similar news spread from the Blackwater Palace and the Underworld, Kunlun in the East, and even the Heavenly Court, that people realized it was actually true.

That invincible Xuanmen Black Emperor is really planning to attain enlightenment!
In an instant, the Three Realms were shaken, and countless people eagerly awaited the news. Of course, most of them were not actually qualified to attend the ceremony. Even many powerful figures who had accumulated experience over the years were not necessarily among those invited. But since it concerned the Primordial Chaos, this news still garnered the most discussion in the entire Primordial World.

Countless people are discussing the possibility of Qi Yu's success, and exploring the foundation and path upon which this strongest man of our time relied to prove his Dao.

Since the news that Qi Yu was the reincarnation of an ancient god had already spread, most people believed that he would continue on the path of the gods, following the example of the Three Sovereigns of antiquity and Taiyi of the previous dynasty to prove Hunyuan. Only a few people were more optimistic about the immortal path, believing that Qi Yu was the ancestor of the Xuanmen Dao and the creator of the Three Corpses Severing Method, and that he might take the immortal path as his foundation.

This highly controversial discussion even sparked considerable conflict, with conservatives who supported the divine way and defenders of the Xuanmen sect engaging in several significant battles that even alarmed the Heavenly Court before the matter was finally resolved.

In this atmosphere, after some time, the Hunyuan Grand Ceremony organized by the Xuanmen arrived as scheduled.

On Mount Buzhou, top experts such as Wangshu, the Three Pure Ones, and the Queen Mother of the West gathered. All the experts above the Xuanmen Daojun were present. A group of great gods and emperors from the Heavenly Court, including Nuwa, also came to observe the ceremony. There were also a number of powerful figures from the wilderness, including Kunpeng and Hongyun. Some even brought their families, just to witness Qi Yu's enlightenment process and deepen their own accumulation on the Hunyuan Path.

Qi Yu lowered his head, and Wen Jia Daojun was momentarily dazed by the scene before him, as if he had returned to the beginning of the ancient times, when the gods were at their peak. At that time, all the gods paid homage to Cangli Clan, and this was the scene he had never imagined that it would be repeated now.

This thought stirred the heart of Daoist Wenjia, who was finally witnessing the great prosperity of the Daiyu lineage.

Upon witnessing such a sight, he even felt that he had already lived a worthwhile life!
……

Meanwhile, atop Mount Buzhou.

Qi Yu looked at the scene before him, but his heart was not stirred. He simply glanced at it and that was it.

In fact, ever since he took control of the Xuanmen Tongtian, such a situation has hardly stirred any emotion in his heart. Now, as the Black Emperor of the Five Directions, the Ancestor of the Xuanmen, and holding the throne, he has firmly stood at the pinnacle of the world, with no obstacles in his way and a clear view ahead.

After slaying the Ancestral Dragon and suppressing Cangyuan, Qi Yu has become the number one person in the world. In the eyes of countless people, he is comparable to a true Hunyuan, and his status has become increasingly revered and transcendent.

This transcendence will not change even if he attains enlightenment or not. Unless another sage appears in the prehistoric world and can crush Qi Yu with absolute strength, no one can shake Qi Yu's current position in the prehistoric world.

This is actually a consensus among many powerful individuals; they all have a tacit understanding, and there's nothing more to say about it.

Seeing that it was almost time, Qi Yu turned his head, whispered a few words to Wang Shu on the other side, and then stepped up into the sky, arriving above Mount Buzhou.

In an instant, everyone's attention was drawn to him, and Qi Yu did not hesitate to speak.

"Thank you all for coming to witness my enlightenment ceremony."

"Now that the time has come, please stay here and observe quietly."

boom--

As Qi Yu finished speaking, an immense and unparalleled power erupted instantly.

That was Qi Yu's Dao-proving treasure, the Myriad Rivers Returning to Origin Diagram. At this moment, it was unleashed and driven to its limit. The vast power of the innate treasure's origin instantly swept across the heavens, connecting the thirty-six heavens, the earth realm, and the primordial land. At this moment, the water veins of the three realms trembled together, and the power of the great water cycle began to surge. This was also the first time that a group of primordial powerhouses had seen the complete foundation of Qi Yu's Dao-proving.

“The water element is vast and boundless. This is not the end of the Xuanming era, but rather the creation of the Heavenly Dao, with the Holy Heart upholding the Heavenly Heart.”

"This is the path of the emperor!"

It was Zhen Yuanzi who spoke. At this moment, he was standing at the front of the Xuanmen team watching the ceremony, but his gaze toward Qi Yu was full of shock. Before this, he had always thought that this Black Emperor's foundation was on the Xuanming Dao, completely continuing the path he had taken in the ancient times. He never expected that His Majesty would be so determined to start from scratch and choose a path completely opposite to that of his previous life!
On the other side, Nuwa was also somewhat shocked. She had always known about her Daoist brother's ambition, which was to follow the path of water elemental sublimation, but she did not expect that his ambition would exceed her imagination!

If the Primordial Chaos Barrier is broken through in this way, what is the Heavenly Court? What is the Heavenly Emperor? He himself is to inherit the will of Heaven and act on behalf of Heaven to govern destiny! No matter how powerful the Heavenly Court is, it will be useless.

Clearly, this is a huge blow to the existing order of the Heavenly Emperor's rule and the coexistence of the Five Heavenly Emperors, posing a significant threat to the interests of the Phoenix Perch Mountain lineage. Nuwa, however, is powerless to stop it. At this juncture, to attack Qi Yu? This is no longer simply a matter of cutting oneself off from the world. Given the opponent's strength and the powerful figures behind him, anyone who dares to make a move must be prepared to be instantly suppressed.

In Nuwa's own words, this was something you wouldn't even consider courting death like this!
Clearly, this was the purpose of Xuanmen's special preparation for such a grand ceremony. Firstly, it reduced the possibility of anyone obstructing Qi Yu's path to the extreme. With the Xuanmen and Daiyu lineage's powerful figures present, and nearly all the top forces of the prehistoric world gathered on Buzhou Mountain, they naturally had no fear of the Demonic Sect and others stirring up any more trouble. Secondly, it was also to flex their muscles, intimidate other powerful figures in the prehistoric world, and demonstrate the superiority of the immortal path and the strength of Xuanmen's Heavenly Court.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Needless to say, this was naturally the Queen Mother of the West's idea, and at this moment, it seems to be working quite well, even if Qi Yu himself may not need this kind of assistance.

……

But said the other side.

As the Myriad Rivers Returning to Origin Diagram activated the primordial water elemental cycle, soon, a mysterious radiance began to emerge around Qi Yu. This was the origin of all the primordial waters, which was now being condensed to serve as the foundation for Qi Yu's path to enlightenment.

"Celestial River, open!"

At Qi Yu's command, the Buzhou Heavenly River immediately responded. This is the main branch of the ancient Heavenly River and is still the source of the Nine Heavenly Rivers. It symbolizes the waters of heaven and is also the starting point for Qi Yu's enlightenment today.

In an instant, the Milky Way surged, and the waters of the nine heavens responded to the Black Emperor's command, actually starting to flow backward, rushing straight from the Thirty-Six Heavens Realm into the Zhou Tian Starry Sky, echoing the Morning Star in the north.

"Fall into the netherworld!"

At another command, a tremendous phenomenon erupted in the land. Above the Black Water Abyss, nine springs connecting to the Chaos Netherworld began to surge, breaking the boundaries of the primordial world and beginning to absorb the chaotic energy.

With the blessing of Qi Yu's power, the entire realm trembled. The River of Oblivion, the Yellow Springs, and the Black Water all reverberated, and even the Six Paths of Reincarnation were affected. In an instant, endless radiance was released, washing over the entire underworld and making the entire Netherworld bizarre and colorful.

Seeing that the Thirty-Six Heavens and the Netherworld were in turmoil, Qi Yu immediately stopped hesitating, held the Myriad Rivers Returning to Origin Diagram, and issued his final command.

"Wanchuan, join!"

In an instant, all the rivers and streams on the primordial land stirred. The primordial water element system, which Qi Yu had established, was now responding to the Black Emperor's call without reservation. Looking around, the entire primordial land was almost glowing, reflecting the primordial water network that spread between mountains and plains, and then extending to the four seas, resonating with the positions of the Four Seas Gods who had been conferred and born not long ago, transforming into a kind of abundant and unstoppable power.

Soaring straight into the sky!

"Condensate—"

The next moment, the three great forces began to slowly converge in the ancient celestial river above Mount Buzhou. Guided by Qi Yu, they constructed an unprecedented Three Realms Water Element Landscape, encompassing the entire primordial world, with all water elemental domains contained within it.

Except for Guixu.

“No! Although Guixu is an outsider, it is ultimately governed by the Heavenly Dao and should be part of the primordial water cycle of my world. Now that Fellow Daoist Qi Yu has attained enlightenment, all waters are present, so why is Guixu the only one missing?”

"Could it be that he failed to anticipate this?"

On Mount Buzhou, the Celestial Venerable Zhunti immediately noticed something amiss. He and his senior brother, the Celestial Venerable Jieyin, were now among the busiest people in the prehistoric world, having devoted themselves to the cause of establishing a religion in the West. Now, they had taken time out of their busy schedules to come and observe the ceremony, only to find such a huge oversight.

"It should be more than this..."

At this moment, even the Heavenly Venerable of Guidance was somewhat uncertain. Above the Milky Way, Qi Yu's actions had clearly stopped. The matter of guiding the source of the East Sea three thousand years ago was still vivid in his mind. Logically speaking, this Black Emperor should have been prepared long ago. Why is he delaying his action now?
Could it be that something went wrong with the previous methods?

Besides the two Western Saints, many powerful figures from various factions who were watching the ceremony also noticed this scene. Some were surprised and puzzled, some were gloating, and some were secretly regretful. However, they did not notice that the Daiyu lineage remained calm and composed, and the Three Pure Ones were also at ease, showing no concern that anything might go wrong.

Finally, as time went by, the vast water elemental circulation power above the Buzhou Heavenly River gradually lost its stability and began to fluctuate, making it difficult to conform to the Heavenly Dao. At the same time, the Myriad Rivers Returning to Origin Diagram in Qi Yu's hand also began to stir, seemingly showing signs of getting out of control.

Anyone with eyes can see that something is wrong.

next moment--

boom! !

A beam of mysterious light immediately shot towards the heavens!
