Chapter 1180 - 527: Yao’s Age, Shun’s Sun (Part 3)
However, at this moment, ten blazing and dazzling Taiyangs are simultaneously suspended in the sky, emitting boundless light and heat!
Within Tang Valley, the seal laid down by Taishang with Supreme Magical Power is trembling violently.
The Donghua Emperor of the former Mystic Era, the Fusang Emperor of the Demon Court Era, and the Lu Ya Daoist on the Chaos Battlefield were suppressed by Taishang with the Tai Chi Diagram,
After that, Taishang fed Donghua a [Ten Day Rebirth Pill], suppressing him in Tang Valley, transforming into ten solar wheels to atone for his sins here.
However, it's uncertain whether due to some mishap with Taishang's elixir or because Donghua seized an opportunity from the upheaval of heaven and earth.
In short, after this silence of hundreds of thousands of years, he accidentally awakened his latent wisdom.
"I am Donghua! I am Lu Ya!"
A loud roar exploded from the core of those ten days!
Boom!!!
The seal shattered, ten suns emerged together.
In an instant, terrifying heat waves swept across the entire Mortal World.
Yin Yang fell out of order, the four seasons were in chaos, and the entire Human Dao World was about to be plunged into an unprecedented catastrophe.
"Hm?"
Buzhou Mountain, Witch Dao Academy.
On the Martial Arts Arena, a man as imposing as a mountain, with muscles like knotted rope, emanating explosive strength, slowly put down the stone axe in his hand.
He lifted his gaze, those sharp eagle-like eyes penetrating endless space, looking towards those ten domineering Taiyangs in the Heavenly Vault.
This was once a Great Witch of the Witch Clan, now the headmaster of the Witch Dao Academy known throughout the world—Hou Yi.
"The old thing that fell during the Witch-Demon War, has he risen from the dead again?" A cold arc appeared at the corner of Hou Yi's mouth.
He waved his hand to fetch a Divine Bow, intending to step into the sky.
At this moment, an envoy wearing official Human Dao attire, riding on a cloud mandarin, hurriedly descended at the academy's gate.
"Dean Hou Yi, there is a Dharma Decree from the Human Dao Lords!"
Hou Yi took the decree made from animal hide, unfolded it, and grinned.
It turned out that the emergence of the ten suns and the surge of Yang Qi had triggered the hidden fiendish energies within the world, resulting in several Innate Strange Beasts being born and causing havoc.
Emperor Yao's decree requested him to resolve the ten sun crisis and simultaneously quell these disturbances.
Yi Yu, Zao Chi, Great Wind, Sealing Pig, Xiu Snake...
Hou Yi glanced over the True Names of the beasts.
"A trivial matter."
He put away the decree, gave the envoy a calm smile, and his form vanished beneath Buzhou Mountain.
That day, the living beings throughout the Mortal World saw a towering giant, holding a Divine Bow, striding across the Great Wilderness.
He slew Zao Chi in the fields of Chouhua, killed Great Wind in the marshes of Qingqiu, shot down the ten suns and then killed Yi Yu, severed Xiu Snake at Dongting, and captured Sealing Pig in the mulberry woods.
After a round of battle, the giant remained unscathed.
Hou Yi set out in the morning and returned to the Imperial City in the evening to report back to Emperor Yao.
Emperor Yao greatly praised Hou Yi's strength and hoped he would stay in the Imperial City to take a position.
Hou Yi politely declined Emperor Yao's invitation.
"Thank you for the kind offer, but as the headmaster of the Witch Dao Academy, teaching is my most important duty."
Emperor Yao was not upset.
He smiled: "Since Daoist is unwilling to hold a position in Human Dao, are you interested in accompanying me to the Underworld in the future?"
"A while ago, I made an agreement with the Netherworld Emperor, once my merit is complete, I'll send my Self Corpse to take office in the Underworld."
"At that time, would Daoist be willing to join me as part of my retinue?"
Emperor Yao invited again, and Hou Yi couldn't refuse.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Since the Common Lord's sincerity is considerable, I shall agree!"
Emperor Yao laughed heartily: "Then it's settled!"
Returning to Buzhou Mountain, Hou Yi was stirred with the idea of corpse separation.
He separated an Evil Corpse, cultivated the Ghost God Dao, and became the Ghost King.
This entity was named: Zong Bu.
As for the rumors in the Primordial about the Witch Clan not cultivating Primordial Spirit and unable to separate corpses...
That was a rumor spread by the Ancestor Witches themselves in the Purple Cloud Palace.
Whoever believed it would one day be ensnared by these "honest people" to their doom!
~~~~
Shouyang Mountain, Eight Sceneries Palace.
Taishang slowly opened his eyes, sighing softly.
"Daoist Donghua, why do you engage in such a futile struggle?"
"Now look what happened, resurrected not long and fallen again!"
Donghua was once again shot by Hou Yi, leaving a sun to slip away to Ganyuan, returning to work with peace of mind.
"I intended for you to atone for your sins in Tang Valley, operating the heavens and days, keeping the seasons in order, accumulating enough merit to rejoin the Mystic Sect someday."
"Now it seems, you are not suited for this path."
Taishang shook his head.
He reached out and retrieved a strand of Pure Yang Origin from Donghua.
Gazing at the Origin in his hand, Taishang pondered for a moment and then smiled faintly.
"So be it, so be it."
"Our Human Sect is just about to expand, and there is a position open among the Eight Immortals of Upper Cave for you."
With that, he casually tossed the Origin into the vast sea of humanity, awaiting its trials and tribulations, ready to rekindle its immortal fate.
~~~~
The emergence of the ten suns and the havoc of strange beasts,
Was merely a minor episode during Emperor Yao's reign, causing no significant impact.
Emperor Yao continued to govern the Mortal World methodically as he had for hundreds of thousands of years.
However, even the Human Dao Lords will have a day of meritorious retirement.
Emperor Yao, sensing his merit nearing completion, began seeking a new successor for the entire Human Dao Alliance.
On this day, he gathered the Divine Officers of the Four Mountains who governed the alliance of the four directions' tribes, asking them:
"Four Mountains, I have been in power for a long time; amongst you, who can inherit the throne and bring peace to all?"
Upon hearing this, the Four Mountains were filled with fear.
They repeatedly kowtowed: "Our virtues are shallow, insufficient to bring peace to all."
