Chapter 119: Cutting the Dragon Terrace
The Heavenly Court Edict, as the name suggests, is an edict sent down by the Heavenly Court to the lower realm.
In the prosperous era of cultivation 10,000 years ago, the Xuanhuang Realm was closely connected with the Upper Realm, and there were not a few Heavenly Court edicts that descended.
Whenever the spirits of famous mountains and rivers were born with spiritual wisdom, the heavenly court would send down an edict from the heavenly court to enshrine them as righteous gods, so as to incorporate these heavenly and earthly beings into the incense fire Shinto system.
And the incense deities of the god deity and the god monarch rank also need to be sealed by the edict of the heavenly court to be eligible to ascend to the god throne.
But since the Peerless Heaven and Earth passed for thousands of years, the connection between the Upper Realm and the Xuanhuang Realm has long been severed, and the Heavenly Court Edict has completely disappeared.
In the entire Xuanhuang Realm, there has been no Heavenly Court Edict for thousands of years.
Even the Lord of Yunfu Mountain, the young god of Heavenly Court, was also subject to the edict of Heavenly Court before he was born, so he was able to achieve the position of Heavenly Court God after his birth to dominate the Yunfu Mountains.
As the Dragon Monarch of Jidu, Ao Lang is not under the jurisdiction of any Divine Monarch, even if he is the Dragon King of the Four Seas, he belongs to the same rank as Ao Lang.
The only thing that can really influence Ao Lang is the edict from Heavenly Court.
This is also an important reason why Ao Lang scoffed at Shen Yuan's statement.
The connection between Heavenly Court and the Xuanhuang Realm was severed, and even if Shen Yuan had the ability to reach the heavens, he could not shake his position as the Dragon Monarch.
However, right now, the cognition in Ao Lang's heart has been broken.
The Heavenly Court, which has been cut off from contact for thousands of years, has really issued an edict!
At this moment, not only Ao Lang, who was the Dragon Monarch of Jidu, but even the entire Jidu Dragon Palace Cave Heaven also fell into a dead silence.
The eyes of the true dragon and the god of all waters crossed the obstruction of the cave heaven and looked at the great edict that descended from the nine heavens to the earthly world together.
The whole body of the edict is a sacred golden color, and its majesty is like a glorious sun, so that people dare not look at it directly.
As the Heavenly Court Edict descended, the entire Cangzhou Incense Divine Dao network trembled at this moment.
The temples that are either prosperous or deserted, and the land and water gods between the mountains, forests, and ponds all look up at the sky.
Countless incense qi lucks converged towards that Heavenly Court Edict, gradually forming a clear form.
It was a pale gold scroll, and the Taoist text on it was outlined, and each stroke showed the true meaning of the incense fire Shinto, pointing directly to the origin of the Great Dao.
On the outermost part of the pale golden scroll, the rivers, lakes and seas loom on it, and in the very center there is a star dotted with it.
The eight divisions of the heavenly court rule over all things in the world, and the four seas are all controlled by the Ministry of Water, and the righteous god of the Ministry of Water is the righteous god of the Big Dipper Five Qi Water De Xingjun.
The star is Mercury, and this vision represents that this edict of the Heavenly Court comes from the Ministry of Water, one of the eight divisions of the Heavenly Court.
After absorbing the power of a large amount of incense, the Heavenly Court Edict finally slowly fell in front of Shen Yuan.
Ao Lang, the Tridacnus Water God, and even the True Dragons and Water Gods in the Jidu Dragon Palace all stared at Shen Yuan with nervous eyes, looking nervous but not daring to make any moves.
Shen Yuan stretched out his right hand and slowly grasped the golden scroll.
Shen Yuan's hand was naturally not a Heavenly Court Edict, or it was not a Heavenly Court Edict submitted by the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Court and signed by the Emperor in the true sense.
Ten thousand years have passed since the Peerless Heaven and Earth Pass, and the Xuanhuang Realm has long since severed its connection with the Upper Realm, and it is impossible for a Heavenly Court Edict to descend.
The source of this edict is actually Shen Yuan's exorcism.
After stepping into the realm, Shen Yuan had already realized that the greatest use of the exorcism power was not to suppress individual beings, but to use the incense fire divine dao system to drive heaven and earth.
For example, Shen Yuan's "Fubo" edict is the effect achieved by using the Jidu Dragon Seal as a medium to suppress the water of Jidu, in essence, Shen Yuan only relies on the Jidu Dragon Seal to suppress the waters, and has nothing to do with the Tridacnus Water God, but he can easily break the supernatural power of the Tridacna Water God.
Such an edict can avoid the profound individual will, and directly start from the power of the ownerless heaven and earth, and achieve one's goals in a simpler and more efficient way.
But this alone was not enough for Shen Yuan to completely calm down the incident.
The edict could allow Shen Yuan to suppress the power of the Divine Dao of the Tridacnus Water God, but if the Tridacnus Water God forcibly used his realm strength, he would still fall into a stalemate.
Coupled with the fact that Ao Lang, the Dragon Monarch of Youji, was watching from the sidelines, Shen Yuan was not sure if Ao Lang would have a chance to summon another Refining God Demon King.
With this in mind, Shen Yuan simply ignored the Tridacnus Water God and targeted the Dragon Monarch as the source of the trouble.
The exorcism power that has stepped into a realm does not have much offensive power, but it can make a big fuss in the incense fire Shinto system.
Shen Yuan clearly understood the Xuanhuang Realm Incense Fire Divine Dao Context, and he could rely on his own Divine Exorcision Divine Power to pry the key nodes of the Incense Fire Divine Dao Context to suppress the enemy.
In this huge incense fire divine vein that envelops the heavens and the earth, who is at the apex?
The answer is obvious, at the apex of the Incense Fire Shinto Dao, it is always the Heavenly Court that lays out the worlds and allows the method of the Incense Fire Shinto to spread throughout the heavens and the earth.
And in the Incense Fire Shinto, the one who can best represent the will of the heavenly court is not a certain righteous god or a certain emperor, but the edict of the heavenly court that adheres to the will of the heavenly court! ”
Shen Yuan stared directly at the Heavenly Court Edict in his hand, letting the Jidu Dragon Seal in his right hand float beside him, and slowly opened the golden scroll in his hand with both hands.
From an angle that outsiders couldn't peep into, there was only a blank space on the golden scroll in Shen Yuan's hand, and there was no edict from Heavenly Court at all.
But the moment Shen Yuan opened the scroll, the apocalyptic scene accumulated by the Rain Summoning Great Divine Power dissipated, and the original heaven and earth were restored.
And above the newly restored white sky, golden auspicious clouds began to converge, and their layers spread to the top of the heavenly dome like a staircase to the sky.
Above that sky, the shadow of an emperor gathered by countless incense flowers appeared here.
The emperor was wearing an imperial robe and a crown of pearls, sitting upright on the throne of the heavenly court, his eyes slightly closed as if he was sleeping.
But under its throne, there are gods and Buddhas who worship on their tops.
Even though it was just a phantom, it could still make people feel the majesty of supreme reverence, and all the incense gods involuntarily knelt down to bow to the emperor, as if he was the source of hundreds of millions of incense gods.
In the cave of the Jidu Dragon Palace, whether it was the true dragon or the god of all waters, he had already knelt on his knees, and even the body of the Jidu Dragon Monarch Ao Lang on the throne knelt down on the steps.
An old-faced god of all waters trembled, and his voice was a little hoarse and exclaimed:
"It's . The Emperor's Will is born! ”
"This is the real Heavenly Edict!"
"Could it really be that he can really collude with the Heavenly Court that has been cut off for thousands of years, and let the emperor descend to the supreme will?"
"The Emperor Phantom that descended on the Xuanhuang Realm this time, which existence in the Heavenly Court did it come from?"
The Jidu Dragon Palace sent out an unprecedented vibration.
Outside the county town of Qingping, Shen Yuan still stood proudly between heaven and earth.
On him, the seed of the Exorcism that had been lodged in his chest had long since disappeared.
If a powerful monk carefully observed the majestic emperor in the sky, he would find that on the chest of the emperor's phantom, there was a faint light like a candle flame constantly beating.
That is the source of the great power exuded by the Emperor's Phantom, the seed of the divine power.
As early as when Shen Yuan was about to attack Ji Du Longjun, he had already made a plan.
First, with the help of the exorcism power, he leveraged the heavenly court at the top of the incense fire Shinto to create the power of the Heavenly Court Edict, and then used the Dragon Seal to control the power of the incense, so that the Heavenly Court Edict manifested into an entity.
In the previous ancient books about the edicts of the gods, the characteristics of the edicts of the heavenly court that came into the world thousands of years ago were recorded.
At that time, the Imperial Edict of the Heavenly Court was not uncommon, so there was not a small amount of information related to it, for example, depending on the importance, the Imperial Edict of the Heavenly Court would have different appearances such as tokens, rune paper, scrolls, etc.
The edicts corresponding to the eight parts of the Heavenly Court will show different signs, the edicts of the water department are inscribed with the stars, and the important edicts have key information such as the projection of the emperor to the world.
Based on this information, Shen Yuan created this Heavenly Court Edict.
In order to make the Emperor Phantom more realistic, Shen Yuan even secretly mobilized the seed of the Exorcism Divine Power, and manifested an Emperor Phantom with the help of the power of incense.
As the core of the Exorcism Divine Power, the Seed of Exorcism Divine Power represents the origin of the Incense Fire Divine Dao, and the Manifestation of the Emperor's Phantom with the Divine Power as the core cannot find any loopholes even if the Divine Monarch is present in person.
There may be a certain deviation in the details of the Heavenly Court Edict planned by Shen Yuan, but ten thousand years of time is enough to erase the cognition of most people.
In front of this real and innocent emperor's phantom, even the most rebellious gods bowed their heads, not daring to offend the divine power of this godless monarch.
The Heavenly Court Edict is derived from the exorcism of the method of the source of the incense Shinto, and the phantom of the emperor also symbolizes the true source of the incense Shinto.
To some extent, Shen Yuan's Heavenly Court Edict is true.
The only drawback was that there was a blank space above the edict, and there was no information about the removal of the Dragon Monarch from the throne.
But. What Shen Yuan wanted was just to convince everyone that this was the true edict from Heavenly Court.
It is enough to achieve this goal.
Holding the Heavenly Court Edict, Shen Yuan said clearly:
"Ji Desecrated Dragon Jun Ao Lang has a perverse temperament and acts recklessly, allowing the water tribe to cause chaos in the world.
Obey the emperor's order and remove him from the position of the dragon monarch! ”
The words fell, and the entire Cangzhou Incense Divine Dao vein completely fell into a riot.
In the cave of the Dragon Palace, Ao Lang, who was kneeling on the ground, struggled to raise his head and tried to look at the godless monarch above the sky, and said in a high voice:
"Ao Lang's move is just to track down the whereabouts of the Jidu Dragon Seal!"
"Ao Lang is guilty, but the crime is not so much, please ask the emperor to learn clearly!"
The emperor's eyes in the sky drooped slightly, and he did not react to all the movements in the outside world.
But above the sky of Qingping County, the boiling resentment caused by the destruction of hundreds of Dragon Monarch Temples before was frantically gathering at this moment.
The power of incense blended with the people's grievances, revealing a huge torture platform between heaven and earth.
There are five floors of the torture platform, with nine steps, and there is a mountain of swords and fires on it, and at the top is a huge guillotine.
The guillotine had long been stained with blood and turned a strange red, and looking directly at the guillotine, it seemed that he could hear the gods crying and the true dragon wailing.
In the Jidu Dragon Palace, the faces of several true dragons turned pale in an instant.
"Cutting the Dragon!"
Legend has it that before the dragon clan was a long time ago, it was a first-class clan in the world, and several ancestral dragons in the clan shook the world, and its power was not inferior to that of the ancient water gods.
However, with the expansion of Heavenly Court, Heavenly Court and the Dragon Clan launched a war that lasted for tens of thousands of years.
In the end, several ancestral dragons fell, and the dragon clan surrendered to the heavenly court, becoming a tool for the heavenly court to control the water tribe and lay the foundation of the incense and fire Shinto.
In order to deter the dragon clan, several divine weapons in the battle between the Heavenly Court Forge and the Dragon Clan were made into a dragon cutting platform to punish those dragons who committed the Heavenly Rules.
Even if the Four Desecrated Dragon Monarchs and the Four Seas Dragon Kings ascended to the Dragon Cutting Platform, they could only die.
Who would have thought that under this Heavenly Court edict, they would be able to see the projection of the Dragon Cutting Platform appear in the world.
In fact, not only the true dragons of the Dragon Palace, but even Shen Yuan was surprised by the dragon platform formed by the power of boiling people's grievances and incense.
On the surface, Shen Yuan used the Heavenly Court Edict to remove Ao Lang from the position of the Dragon Monarch, but the essence behind it was to use the boiling grievances of hundreds of millions of living beings as the fulcrum to pry the incense fire Shinto system to suppress Ao Lang.
This convergence of grievances seems to have triggered some remnants of Shinto history, allowing the Ryutai, which once intimidated the dragons, to manifest the world with the help of grievances and the power of Shinto.
Although it was a little unexpected by Shen Yuan, all this was no longer important.
Above the sky, the supreme revered emperor had slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing this, the dragon-headed human deity who manifested the authority of the Ao Lang Dragon Monarch tried to escape from this place despite the risk of offending the Godless Monarch.
In the next moment, the guillotine on the dragon cutting platform slowly raised, and the chains on it spread from the void, locking the dragon-headed human body and god to death.
Ao Lang let out an earth-shattering roar in pain, trying to stir up the power of the river to break free from the chains, but the Fubo Edict had already calmed the river, and even if you were the Dragon Monarch, you could not mobilize the power of the river.
The dragon-headed human body god whose authority was manifested by the dragon monarch was dragged to the dragon platform by chains, and the once arrogant dragon monarch was forcibly tied to the torture platform.
The knife mountain scraped off the dragon scales, and the huge dragon head was placed under the guillotine, soaked in the blood of countless real dragons, and the dragon platform made Ao Lang's soul tremble.
The desire to survive made him can't help but let out a crazy roar.
"As the Dragon Monarch of Jidu, I am in charge of the four ancestral veins, and I am the co-master of the water tribe in the world.
Even if you are the emperor, you should also go to the Jade Emperor, and you can only remove me from the position of Dragon Monarch after the trial of the four emperors! ”
"You are overstepping your authority, and you will not be tolerated by the water tribe!"
Shen Yuan, who was looking at the Dragon Cutting Platform, smiled.
As Ao Lang said, the removal of the position of the Dragon Monarch is indeed very implicated, and the Jade Emperor must be examined by the four emperors before the punishment can be determined.
But the Heaven and Earth have been connected for thousands of years, and such a long time has made everyone forget one thing, that is, the position of the Four Desecration Dragon Monarchs needs to be sealed by the Heavenly Court in order to become the real Four Desecrated Dragon Monarchs.
The old dragon monarch fell three thousand years ago, and Ao Lang succeeded to the throne without the dragon seal or the edict of the heavenly court, which means that Ao Lang is not the real dragon monarch at all.
He was able to sit on the throne of the Dragon Monarch and grasp the authority of the Dragon Monarch to control the water, all of which relied on the inheritance of the incense fire Shinto and the stability of the people's will accumulated over tens of thousands of years.
Ao Lang has now lost the will of the people, and the Incense Fire Divine Dao is controlled by Shen Yuan, and he has long lost the foundation of the Dragon Monarch.
His so-called position of the Dragon Monarch has long been like a rootless duckweed, and the reason why Shen Yuan made the Heavenly Court Edict and forged the Emperor's Phantom Shadow was to set the general trend of this incense fire divine dao.
Once the general trend has gone, can the position of the dragon monarch as a rootless duckweed remain?
Above the sky, the voice of supreme majesty came from the mouth of the emperor, and its voice spread throughout the ten worlds, and the emperor's edict could be heard everywhere the incense and fire gods reached.
"Slash!"
The blood flashed, and the guillotine that had slashed countless true dragons fell with a bang, and the hideous dragon head slammed into the dragon cutting platform.
The dragon-headed human deity that symbolized the authority of the Dragon Monarch fell, and the will of the Dragon Monarch that shrouded the hearts of countless living beings on the water quietly dissipated.
In the cave of the Dragon Palace, Ao Lang fell from the steps of the Dragon Monarch's throne in embarrassment, and the entire Crystal Palace began to shake violently as the Dragon Monarch's authority dissipated.
The pavilions collapsed, and a large number of gorgeous utensils smashed to the ground in a tremor, and the crystal palace no longer had the luxury of the past.
And the Jidu Dragon Palace Cave Heaven that gave birth to the endless sea area fell into chaos, setting off a raging tide in that sea area, and the raging waves continued to lap the barrier of the cave sky.
At the end of the sea, cracks began to appear in the complete cave world.
