Chapter 261 The Truth About Tianmen, the New Emperor Ascends the Throne, the Struggle for Destiny, and the Arrival of the Great Era
At this moment, the world was silent.
The whole world was looking at one person.
With Lu Mingyuan's farewell, everyone looked over.
Many people showed curiosity, confusion, and thinking.
For most people, they didn't know what was happening in front of them.
Or, they didn't know anything about this mysterious old senior who guarded the gate of heaven.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows this senior very well?"
Suddenly, a circle of people stood in the square, and a voice sounded on the right side of Lu Mingyuan.
Not only was the voice mellow, but there was also a unique charm, like the upper rulers of the royal family, and it gave people a feeling of spring breeze.
Lu Mingyuan looked over and saw a handsome man with a red compass on his back, black hair fluttering, and wearing a red robe, who was as handsome as a god, slowly walked up.
He was still very vague about the true identity of this man and couldn't be sure.
After all, he had never met him before.
Anyway, his identity should not be low.
At this time, the powerful people who can come to the sky above the Great Flame Dragon Wall to watch are all well-known figures in the world of the Middle Earth.
Looking at this posture, it must be not simple.
There is an inexplicable smile in the eyes of the visitor.
At this time, a clear voice of a woman, like a light spring flowing through stones, sounded in Lu Mingyuan's ears.
"Your Highness, this person is the leader of the Dao League, Lunri Tianjun, late fourteenth realm."
It is Fairy Cihang.
Lu Mingyuan almost immediately heard who the voice of the visitor belonged to.
Because it is already familiar.
It was actually her who reminded him.
The only thing that surprised Lu Mingyuan a little was that this young-looking man was actually the leader of the Dao League? !
You know, the Dao League, as the strongest force in the Dao Sect, has gathered hundreds of Dao Sects in the world, and is the world's number one force.
The so-called king of the secular dynasty should not be in his eyes.
For a person like Lunri Tianjun, it is easy for him to invest in that dynasty.
No matter which small country, as long as it gets the support of the Dao League and has enough Qigong practitioners stationed in it, it can make rapid progress and greatly improve its national strength.
There are even many countries and dynasties that want the Dao League to send people to serve as guest officials to guard a country.
The three religions in the world, Confucianism, Buddhism, and Dao League.
Each occupies Haoran Continent, Wanfo Continent, and Qingming Continent, enjoys the fortune of one continent, and governs the world together with the human court.
Therefore, Lu Mingyuan still has to give the other party some face.
It’s okay to build relationships.
Compared with the Confucian Temple and the inheritance of the seven Buddhas of Buddhism, he feels that it is easier to win over the Taoist Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
The reason is also very simple.
Among the people who support him now, the Taoists have the most people.
Lu Mingyuan looked apologetic and said, "So it's Senior Lunri Tianjun, I'm sorry."
Even though his attitude was humble enough.
No one at the scene would look down on the young prince in front of them.
Because they knew.
In the future, in a few days, this young man may very likely be the master of this huge dynasty.
No one would underestimate a prince who fought his way out of the nine princes' battle for the throne and killed his father with his own hands.
So even though Lunri Tianjun was in a high position and strong, he didn't mean to underestimate Lu Mingyuan.
After all, with Lu Mingyuan's appearance, he might be able to create a precedent for a warrior to enter the fourteenth and fifteenth realms in his lifetime.
Instead, he looked at everyone present with kindness and continued, "I see that the senior just now has a cultivation strength of no less than the fourteenth realm, but looking at the entire Middle-earth world, those who can enter the fourteenth realm can be counted on one hand, but this one has never been heard of."
Translate this sentence.
He felt that Wei Laojiu was a mysterious strong man who suddenly appeared, and he didn't know his background. The fourteenth realm strong men in the Middle-earth were all well-known, so he was quite curious.
This question was not only what he wanted to ask, but the monks of the other three religions were also curious.
After hearing this, Lu Mingyuan did not hide anything and explained directly: "The one who just escaped into the Heavenly Gate is called Wei Laojiu. He is my close friend. His real identity is an old eunuch who has been guarding in the cold palace for three hundred years. He stayed in the palace for a hundred years because of the oath of heaven. Now that the agreement is fulfilled, he will leave naturally."
"So that's how it is."
Lunri Tianjun nodded after hearing this. After thinking about it, he said to Lu Mingyuan seriously:
"Perhaps, Your Highness was on the ground just now, so he couldn't see what happened in the sky. Just now, this senior Wei Laojiu, with his own strength, resisted the projection of the god summoned by the magic bead."
"Magic bead?"
Lu Mingyuan murmured, and asked: "Senior Tianjun, are you referring to the black bead?"
Lunri Tianjun nodded slightly: "Yes, it is this black bead."
"This object is from the Holy Underworld. It can be traced back to an ancient god in the Middle Ages of the Holy Underworld. It is the heart of this ancient god. I didn't expect it to be in the hands of Emperor Yong'an."
Hearing this, Lu Mingyuan finally knew the reason why Wei Laojiu took action.
"Just relying on this, can it make so many gods covet it?"
Lunri Tianjun continued: "This object may not be a big deal for the cultivators in the Middle Earth, but for the demons of the Holy Underworld, it is the supreme divine object and the source of power."
At this time, another old man with a purple Confucian robe and a clear temperament also stood up and said slowly: "Outside the Heavenly Gate, many Holy Underworld gods, seeing the existence of this object, naturally want to move."
Lu Mingyuan found that he had seen this person in the Great Thousand Canglan Map.
It was the appearance of the Li Sheng in the illusion, but now they met offline.
I just don't know if it is the real person or the clone.
Lu Mingyuan doesn't believe that these great powers all came with their real bodies. There should be a part of them who came with clones.
Because the main body still has to guard a continent, nothing can go wrong.
Lu Mingyuan looked at Li Sheng, his eyes were sharp and he said: "Mr. Li Sheng means that Senior Wei is facing a group of holy and dark gods? Doesn't that mean that gods can still interfere with the human world?"
He couldn't help but wonder, Wei Laojiu's "Go" just now.
Is it a farewell forever.
Li Sheng saw what he was thinking, smiled faintly and said: "Your Highness, don't worry, this person's Taoism is higher than you think, and the gods in the sky are not his opponents. So it's not a sacrifice, but a new life, which is the unattainable fifteenth realm."
New life, it seems to have entered a higher realm.
Lu Mingyuan pondered in his heart.
The origin of the Blood Tao Tianyun Sutra is more complicated than he thought.
Will he be like Wei Laojiu in the future?
The martial artists in the world, seeing the gate of heaven, are like seeing the ancestral hall!
"Another senior who is more advanced than us, ascending to the Heavenly Gate" Lunri Tianjun seemed to have an inexplicable obsession with ascending. He sighed: "I think he has found a way to ascend. Could it be that there is more than one way to ascend to the Heavenly Gate?"
Lu Mingyuan asked: "Can only the fifteenth realm ascend to the Heavenly Gate?"
Li Sheng shook his head: "The fifteenth realm is not enough, you must ascend to the Ascension Platform."
His eyes became slightly solemn: "Since the mythological era, if human cultivators want to become gods, they must go through the Ascension Platform."
"Later, the human cultivators led by Daozu launched a crusade against the gods, and the Middle Earth completely entered the era of no gods. Six of the seven ascension platforms were destroyed. This battle was called the Battle of Ascension to the Gods."
"The last ascension platform of our human race has been lost."
"This is the purpose of our coming here. If there are gods who want to interfere in the human world, the human race must put aside the past conflicts and fight against the gods together. This has always been an unwritten rule among the three religions."
After listening, Lu Mingyuan roughly understood the ins and outs of it.
He also understood why the powerful people present were so surprised.
It was mainly because Wei Laojiu's strength was too strong, and he blocked the gods alone, which gave them a little shock.
In this way, Wei Laojiu is indeed very strong.
This time, it is more appropriate to use it to resist the attack of the Holy Dark God.
He did not regret it.
If there was no Wei Laojiu, the gods in the sky might have already taken action against him.
Just like the second life he experienced in the Great Thousand Canglan Map.
Finally, he died from the punishment of the gods.
With his current power, he might not be able to defeat the gods outside the gate of heaven.
Lunri Tianjun explained again: "In the mythological era, the gods and Buddhas coveted the luck of mortals. Once the luck of mortals reached its peak, they would come out to harvest.
So the mortal countries were in chaos and the people were living in misery.
And they supported one or two true dragon emperors behind the scenes, waiting for unification and the luck to return to the peak.
This cycle repeats itself, and mortals are like ants.
Therefore, mortals have the saying that the world will be united after a long period of division, and will be divided after a long period of unity.
This is the meaning of Daozu leading the human cultivators to resist the gods."
"Amitabha, in my opinion, ascending to the gate of heaven is not a good thing. Tianjun's obsession is still a bit heavy."
The leader is a Bodhisattva sitting cross-legged on a golden lotus, holding a jade bottle, with a plump face, and a spirit tiger accompanying him.
There are five knots on the top of the head, a ruddy face, and gentle eyes.
Facing this person, Lunri Tianjun did not have a very good face, and said in a light tone: "If it is true as Shenshu Bodhisattva said, then why did the ancestors of the three religions all go outside the gate of heaven."
Shenshu Bodhisattva of Wenshu Temple.
In Lu Mingyuan's view, this name is also well-known in the world of Zhongtu.
He received the true teachings of the Sixth Patriarch and is one of the four great bodhisattvas of Buddhism.
Condensed the twelve-leaf Buddhist lotus, ranked thirteenth realm, Buddha lotus.
The thirteenth realm of Qigong can be called land immortals, which is the realm of human immortals.
The fourteenth realm is the realm of ascension, which can be called heavenly immortals.
In Buddhism, there are at least thirteen realms that can be called bodhisattvas.
Condensing thirty-six lotus leaves, the six reincarnations are perfected, and one can enter the fourteenth realm and become a Buddha.
"After the six great Buddhas of our Buddhist sect entered the Heavenly Gate, there was no news. The Confucian Temple's most holy teacher Rensheng, Zongsheng, Lisheng, and Yasheng were also the same. The two ancestors of Taoism, Taiqing and Shangqing, are even missing."
"Outside the Heavenly Gate, there must be unexpected dangers waiting for the world."
Halfway through, Shenshu Bodhisattva glanced at Lu Mingyuan, as if observing the inheritance of the Seventh Ancestor on him.
The Seventh Ancestor was the top master of the human race who fell in the battle of ascending to the gods in the Middle Ages.
Before his death, he called himself the ancestor, sat in the Wanfo Continent, spread the Dao Buddhist Kingdom, protected one side, resisted the demon clan, and his body turned into more than 10,000 relics for the benefit of future generations.
Lu Mingyuan could see it.
Buddhism and Taoism are still at odds with each other.
The Taoist Alliance, led by Lunri Tianjun, hopes to find the ascension platform, find the way to the Heaven Gate, and pursue a higher realm, but Shenshu Bodhisattva of Buddhism does not think so.
She believes that the Heaven Gate is the source of danger and should not be visited.
No matter what, no matter how many rumors are heard, they are just guesses. The big guys who have not returned from the Heaven Gate can explain the real situation outside the Heaven Gate.
It was just Wei Laojiu's feat of ascending to heaven that made Lu Mingyuan's heart burn with a raging fire.
No matter how the situation changes outside the Heaven Gate.
But as long as he intervenes in the human world, the first person to be impacted must be the human emperor who is the master of the Heavenly Destiny Dynasty.
In this case, if he is the emperor, why can't he unify the Central Plains, establish the Supreme Dynasty, establish the laws of the human race as the rules of heaven, and kill the gods and Buddhas if they are not respected!
Since Wei Laojiu blocked the gods alone, the world fell into a brief peace.
After the death of Emperor Yong'an, there were only countless messes.
On the next day, Lu Mingyuan announced to the world that he ascended the throne and changed the reign title to Longyuan. The era of Yong'an was completely over.
He announced the various crimes of Emperor Yong'an, the most serious of which involved disturbing the country, practicing the forbidden methods of the enemy country, and worshiping the gods of the underworld.
In the palace, Lu Mingyuan flipped through the major events of Yong'an in the past 69 years.
He found that if Emperor Yong'an had died 20 years earlier.
Perhaps his father was really a wise ruler who deserved the title.
Although he was not as good as Taizu, the founding emperor of all dynasties was also a wise ruler who opened up a prosperous era.
But what he did in the next 20 years was really innumerable.
Lu Mingyuan used the Taoist method to find the secret room hidden in the bedroom of Emperor Yong'an. In addition, he also built an underground altar under the palace, which was specially used to feed the ancient gods.
These are the best evidence.
With these ironclad evidences, no matter how much the court officials argued, it would be useless.
The father was eventually destroyed by his own greed.
His desire for immortality, his eternal foundation, and his desire to completely seize power from the three religions had devoured him, and he had completely become a puppet of the gods.
The first year of Longyuan.
Qianyuan Hall.
This was where the emperor lived his daily life.
At this time, in front of the bronze mirror, stood a tall man with unparalleled beauty and skin as white as jade.
The morning sun was rising, gradually becoming brighter, hanging over the capital of Dayan, and reflecting in front of the bronze mirror of Qianyuan Hall.
The man was wearing a wide five-clawed bright yellow dragon robe with complicated gilded patterns, and the length covered his ankles.
Dayan belongs to the fire virtue, so the jade belt of the dragon robe is red.
Lu Mingyuan finally put on the emperor's robe, but he looked at himself in the mirror, but he was very calm.
There were eight beautiful palace maids around him, serving him and tidying up his appearance, because he would start to attend court soon.
The first morning court session of the first year of Longyuan.
Standing beside him was a tall woman in a bamboo green dress with a high bun on her head. She was gentle and virtuous. The white palace gauze on her collarbone revealed her snow-white back and slender thighs, making her look tall.
She personally leaned over to help Lu Mingyuan adjust his belt.
Lu Mingyuan stared at the woman in front of him, and curled his lips: "Muxue, from now on, you are also the queen. Let them do these things."
Qi Muxue smiled softly, and this frown alone was already the most beautiful thing in the world.
"These things have always been done by me in the cold palace. Now let the servants do it, it is inevitable that I am not very used to it."
Lu Mingyuan smiled helplessly, but he could only follow her.
Some habits have been formed in the cold palace, and they really can't be changed back in a short time.
"Your Majesty, it's time to preside over the enthronement."
Lu Mingyuan was a little dazed when he heard the palace maid's "Your Majesty" bowed her head.
If it was three years ago.
Would I dare to think that I could sit on this supreme throne?
I probably wouldn’t dare.
But at this moment.
When I really sat on this position.
Looking back, there were already countless graves.
On the way to the Temple of Heaven.
The palace maid dragged the long ceremonial imperial robe until she walked into the door of Tianyou Hall.
Tianyou Hall is the sacrificial hall of the Tiantan Temple of Dayan. It is extremely spacious, covering an area of nearly a thousand meters. Looking around, there are only neat and symmetrical palaces.
Even if it is empty, it is crowded at the moment of the coronation ceremony.
Dayan puts all the ceremonies of succession, coronation, and worship of heaven and earth together.
As the queen, Qi Muxue's delicate face is extremely solemn at this moment. She stands on the high platform of Tianyou Hall with Lu Mingyuan, overlooking everyone.
The staff has arrived, and they are just waiting for the officials of the Ministry of Rites to recite the manuscripts prepared in advance.
"Since Taizu founded the country, the eight wildernesses have been ruled, the emperor is holy and the ministers are good, and the four seas are submissive."
"But now it is barbarians and barbarians, surrounded by wolves."
After the long ceremony, the official finally announced:
"The new emperor ascends the throne, the world is amnesty, and the reign is changed to Longyuan."
As soon as the voice fell, a deafening and loud voice sounded below.
"Long live the emperor!"
"Long live the emperor!"
The ministers bowed and prostrated themselves.
The Great Yan Dynasty welcomed its new master.
Just when the ceremony was over.
"Roar!"
A loud and buzzing dragon roar sounded, extremely abrupt, resounding throughout the world.
Everyone heard this sound.
Lu Mingyuan seemed to have sensed something and raised his head.
Above the capital, a steady stream of luck gathered, like a phoenix nirvana, a true dragon was bred.
Above the sky, a ten-thousand-foot-high divine lotus appeared, reflecting the world of the Middle Earth, the blessed land, the mountains, rivers, and the major dynasties. Everyone saw this scene.
"This is the divine lotus of luck gathered by destiny!"
The movement of the national destiny was so great that it shocked the ministers on the scene.
The great Confucian scholars and sages who came to watch the ceremony, as well as the literary saint who sat in the upper seat of the Great Yan guests, all frowned.
A great scholar asked, "Senior Wensheng, isn't the destiny predestined? Why is there a hundred years left before the deadline, but the Divine Lotus of Destiny has already appeared?"
"Throughout the ages, the destiny that comes once every five hundred years cannot be deduced by ordinary people. Only the saints of the Confucian Temple can get a glimpse of the secret. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, the Divine Lotus has appeared. Does it indicate something?"
"Today's scene is really rare in the ages!"
Wensheng did not answer, but a trace of heaviness appeared in his eyes.
The struggle for destiny is something that all dynasties in the Middle-earth care about. Basically, no emperor can refuse the gift of heaven.
However, at this moment.
The Divine Lotus above the sky turned into six golden lights and fell towards the world.
"The Divine Lotus of Luck has separated?"
"What's going on?"
"Go after it and see!"
For a moment, countless people were confused. They didn't understand what happened. He originally thought that the new emperor ascended the throne and the blessing of destiny appeared, which was a good thing.
But now it seems that it is not that simple.
These six golden lights fell in different directions, attracting many cultivators to chase them and try to find out what was going on.
Soon, someone found out where these six golden lights went.
They were Da Sui, Jin Wu, Nan Li, Yin Shuang, Da Wu, and Song.
Only Da Yan was not there.
