Journey to the West: The Eighty-One Tribulations of Being Hairless

The positions of Heaven and Earth!

Yes, the positions of Heaven and Earth!

There are ranks and titles in the world, which are actually equivalent to noble titles in mortal dynasties!

The difference is that the dynastic title lasts with the country, and disappears when the country falls. But the Heavenly and Earthly title lasts with Heaven and Earth. As long as Heaven and Earth exist, and as long as you do not commit heinous crimes, that title will always be yours.

Each position is blessed with corresponding fortune and recognized with corresponding authority!

The mainstream positions in the Heavenly and Earthly system are the six True Person, Divine Lord, True Lord, Emperor, Heavenly Venerable, and Heavenly Emperor, while the less mainstream positions include Heavenly Master, Humanity's Protector, Human Emperor, Holy Emperor, and so on.

It can be said that a rank is something every cultivator dreams of!

Especially for those who have become immortals!

However, obtaining a rank is extremely difficult. This can only be sensed by the great will of heaven and earth, which will sense what you have done that is beneficial to heaven and earth!

Then the corresponding rank will be automatically lowered as a reward, and even the Three Pure Ones and the Six Emperors cannot interfere!

So far, the only beings in the entire Three Realms who are on par with the Heavenly Emperor are the Three Realms Sage Master Hongjun Daozu, the Human Dao Sage Emperor Fuxi, and the Reincarnation Dao Master Houtu Niangniang.

As for the Heavenly Emperor in the true sense!

Not really!

The Three Pure Ones and the Six Emperors are all Heavenly Venerable-level positions!

The Jade Emperor, who is known as the Heavenly Emperor, is actually also a Heavenly Venerable, but he adds the word "Great" before "Heavenly Venerable," becoming the Great Heavenly Venerable of the Three Realms, to show his nobility and legitimacy.

Below the Celestial Venerable is the Emperor!

There aren't many titles at the level of Emperors in the Three Realms; the most common is the title of True Lord!

Many veteran Grand Immortals can obtain this rank. For example, Zhou Yi's current superior, Yang Jian, holds the rank of True Lord of Pure Origin and Wondrous Path, which is the rank of True Lord.

And do not underestimate the true position of a ruler!

As long as you have the title of True Lord, you don't have to worry about the fortune of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. You also have authority. With such a title, the Heavenly Court generally won't interfere with you. You can be like Yang Jian, who obeys orders but not summons.

Otherwise, do you think Yang Jian is so arrogant because he's the Jade Emperor's nephew and a Great Luo Golden Immortal?

And now...

The five-colored divine light above the Azure Lotus Palace was constantly being nurtured and gathered, making even the Great Luo Golden Immortals of the Three Realms grit their teeth in envy and jealousy.

On what grounds?

Why should I?

The Great Golden Immortal of the Three Realms kept asking the question in his heart.

Okay, actually the great beings of the Three Realms know why, because Zhou Yi was born from Pangu!

Yes, those are the three words: Pangu!

As long as you belong to the Pangu clan, you can receive the blessing of your karmic position. Of course, the premise is that you cannot cause destruction, especially by doing something as rebellious as destroying the world.

The Book of Changes is only so-so!

Before the Three Pure Ones attained enlightenment, they were born with the status of emperors!

After attaining enlightenment, each of the Three Pure Ones directly ascended to the Heavenly Venerable rank. In addition, they already possessed the Heavenly Dao Saint rank, which was on par with the Heavenly Venerable rank. It can be said that each of the Three Pure Ones possessed two Heavenly Venerable-level rank positions.

This is also the main reason why the Three Pure Ones are so revered in the Three Realms and hold such a high position in the Heavenly Court.

It can be said that Heaven and Earth have always been biased towards the gods of Pangu's lineage, but there's nothing that can be done about it, since this world was created by the great god Pangu.

The gods of the Three Realms, especially those Great Luo Golden Immortals who had not yet attained their rank, could only feel envy, jealousy, and resentment.

That's not fair!

Zhou Yi could not hear the jealousy in the hearts of all beings in the Three Realms. At this moment, Zhou Yi also received the information of the great will of heaven and earth in his mind and immediately understood the reason!

The positions of Heaven and Earth!

"This...this...Pangu has such a good thing?" At this moment, Zhou Yi looked at the five-colored divine light gathering in the sky in disbelief.

What a lucky kid!

In the Tushita Palace, the Supreme Sage smiled merrily upon seeing this.

Anyone in the Three Realms can complain about injustice, but the Three Pure Ones are the only ones who cannot complain about injustice, as they themselves are the beneficiaries of this rule.

Therefore, Taiqing only said that Zhouyi was lucky to obtain the name of Pangu.

"Hmph!" Yuanshi of Yuxu Palace in Yuqing Realm let out a cold snort.

He certainly wouldn't say anything unfair, but he felt that Zhou Yi was unworthy to be a member of Pangu's clan and unworthy to be in the same system as him, Yuanshi Tianzun!

A country bumpkin from the lower realm has somehow risen to prominence and become a phoenix!

How could this not be a great disrespect to the Primordial Celestial Venerable!

"Interesting, interesting. The Celestials should also be considered part of my human race!"

"Fire Cloud Cave Heaven," the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan said with a smile, somewhat intrigued.

They belong to the Nuwa Xuanhuang human race, which is different from the origin of Zhou Yi. However, Zhou Yi has now become a celestial human race of the Pangu lineage, which is equivalent to opening up another extension for the human race.

"Brother, the Celestial Race inherits the fortune of Pangu. If we can unite the Celestial Race with our human race and promote their glory, perhaps the human race's fortune can be further strengthened in the future!"

The Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, thought to himself as his eyes flickered.

"It is indeed possible. The Celestial Race and the Primordial Pangu Clan are the main characters of the world. Although our human race is currently the protagonist of the world, we are missing a Pangu Clan. If we can extend the concept of the human race to the Celestial Race, then..."

Perhaps our human race has more options!

Shennong Yandi nodded slightly upon hearing this.

"You're overthinking it. If it were really that easy, Pangu would have been everywhere in the Three Realms by now!"

Pangu's existence is not just a matter of bloodline, but also of destiny and various mysterious creations!

Although I wield the divine powers of Heaven to manipulate creation, without the blessing of the Great Thousand Worlds, it would be impossible to create innate beings, let alone Pangu, who was recognized by the Great Will of Heaven and Earth!

This child has some secrets that are not widely known!

Looking in the direction of the Book of Changes, Fuxi shook his head and said!

"However, you can also give it a try. This boy is now considered a prodigy in the Three Realms, and he is worthy of your precious daughter..." Fuxi said jokingly, looking at the two of them.

"Huh... it's actually this rank?" Suddenly, Fuxi looked at the rank Dao Fruit in the sky with some surprise.

The Nine Heavens Purple Palace Celestial Lord!

"This...this is the rank? Is this fate?"

In the Jade Pool Wonderland, the Jade Emperor was somewhat bewildered when he saw the rank and fruit of the Dao!

Lord of Heaven!

Isn't this the position of a true ruler created for the Department of Astronomical Law Enforcement?

This is far more suitable than his nephew Yang Jian's title of Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun.

The title of True Lord Qingyuan Miaodao was earned by Yang Jian for his work in controlling floods in the mortal realm. It has absolutely nothing to do with the power of the Department of Law Enforcement of Heaven, which is in charge of supervising, enforcing the law, and administering justice within the Heavenly Court system!

Frankly speaking, Yang Jian's position as a True Lord is more suitable for the Department of Water, to manage the waters of the Heavenly River.

The entirety of the duties of the Nine Heavens Purple Palace True Lord is no longer limited to the judicial system within the Heavenly Court, but also extends to the judicial enforcement against all evil and heretical forces that disrupt the Three Realms!

It can be said to be a judicial authority independent of the Heavenly Court!

Hiss...

"Junior sister, did we make a mistake by giving up on this child before?"
