Chapter 20: The Nine Provinces Divided, the Heavenly Emperor Finally Visits the Meng Family
Fuxi God Lord's preemptive move caused Taiqing Daozhu, west Wangmu and others to feel quite regretful. This guy was too quick, allowing him to seize the initiative and take over a province.
The King of Lei Ze smiled broadly. As expected of his brother, he had managed to seize a province for them with his first move.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother of the West and the others no longer held back, their gazes quickly sweeping across the remaining eight continents, searching for a suitable continent for them.
Although Meng Chen divided the five regions, in order to ensure the integrity of the prehistoric land, he did not divide it like cutting a cake. The dividing lines were mostly curved, and it looked irregular and somewhat messy.
The three leaders of the Taiqing Daoist Sect, the Jade Void Palace Master, and the Intercepting Heaven Sect Master all looked at the location of their respective Daoist lineages, which happened to be assigned to a state.
They exchanged a glance, bowed to Meng Chen simultaneously, and said in unison:
"Your Majesty, our Taiqing Dao (Yuxu Palace) (Jietian Sect) happens to be located in one province, and our three sects share the same lineage and origin. Why not bestow this province upon our three sects? Our three sects will certainly live up to Your Majesty's expectations and assist Your Majesty in governing the Nine Provinces."
Taiqing Dao, Yuxu Palace, Jietian Sect.
The three major lineages originated from a single ancient lineage in the mythological era, called the "Zixiao Dao Sect." This lineage had three emperors, but due to ideological differences, the three lineages split, becoming the Taiqing Dao, Yuxu Palace, and Jietian Sect as they are today.
The three sects joined forces to occupy a province, and other sects dared not compete with them, choosing to retreat.
The Sun Emperor on his throne nodded slightly: "Agreed."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" ×3
The three leaders of the Taoist lineages looked delighted and immediately began discussing the naming of the new state. After much deliberation, they finally decided to adopt the name of the lineage from the mythological era.
"Your Majesty, we have reached a decision. This new state will be named [Purple Heaven Divine State], also known as [Purple Heaven World]!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the words "Zixiao" appeared on the map of the primordial world, representing the state where the three sects were located. Purple energy permeated the land, and the Daoist charm endured. The fortunes of the three sects were fully revealed. Taiqing was like a crane, Yuxu was like a unicorn, and Jietian transformed into a sword, encircling Zixiao.
The Fuze Divine Continent on the side was no exception, with two true dragons soaring and surging, their dragon aura boundless, summoning wind and rain, and causing lightning and thunder.
Two of the nine provinces have already been lost, and the remaining seven have sparked even stronger discussions. If the Heavenly Emperor hadn't been present, they wouldn't have just been talking about it; they would have inevitably had a showdown.
The most heated argument was between the Yun clan and the Jiuli clan, with the Si clan also joining in, while the other six major human royal families cheered them on.
"You from the Jiuli clan, what do you mean? How can my Yun clan not govern a province? Don't forget, my Yun clan is an ancient royal family!"
"That's right, my Si and Yun clans are among the eight ancient clans. How can we not govern the world for His Majesty? Or does your Jiuli clan want to start another war with the eight ancient clans?"
"Hmph! So what if we're from the Eight Ancient Clans? It's not like you're the only ones with royal lineage. My Jiuli clan is also a descendant of the Great Emperor!"
"My Jiuli clan has sacrificed their lives for the primordial world. Even our ancestor, the Emperor, offered his own body to stabilize the primordial world. How can we not be qualified to govern a single province? I ask you, am I, Jiuli clan, qualified?"
The Jiuli clan, also known as the Chiyou clan, descended from the Great Emperor Chiyou. The Jiuli clan leader was extremely burly, standing three zhang tall, resembling an ancient bronze giant.
Its head and horns were prominent, and it was covered with the fur of an unknown savage beast. Ancient patterns were drawn on its bare skin with the blood of beasts. It was covered with many precious bones of ferocious beasts. Its aura was fierce and domineering, and it exuded a wild and ferocious power.
When the Jiuli tribe chief mentioned the Emperor Ancestor, his eyes turned red and filled with tears, causing the Si tribe's Holy Lord and the others to take two steps back and dare not argue any further.
It is an indisputable fact that the Nine Li Emperor Ancestor sacrificed his imperial body for the primordial world, and all the lineages in the primordial world are sincerely grateful to that great emperor.
Faced with the achievements of their ancestors, the eight royal families of the human race all chose to retreat and ceded that province to the Jiuli clan.
The Jiuli clan lord did not want to use the achievements of the imperial ancestor, but he had no choice. The current environment of the Jiuli clan was too harsh. For the future of the clan and for the bloodline to be passed down for a longer period of time, he had no choice but to do so.
Relying on the achievements of the Emperor Ancestor, the Jiuli Clan seized a province that originally belonged to three-fifths of the Nanling region. Due to the large number of barbarians in Nanling, they named it "Barbarian Divine Province," also known as "Barbarian World."
Immediately afterwards, several great saints of the demon race jointly submitted a memorial, offering the inheritances of several demon emperors to enrich the Heavenly Court. They obtained two-fifths of the Southern Ridge and one-third of the Eastern Wilderness, naming it "Cangmang Shenzhou" or "Cangmang Tianxia".
Seeing this, the eight royal clans, including the Si and Yun clans, realized that discussing it was useless, so they quickly offered up their clan's heritage, the legacies of eight great emperors. Even Meng Chen was somewhat surprised.
"Your Majesty, our eight clans have long resided in this Central Plains and are truly unable to leave. We wonder if Your Majesty could entrust this Central Plains to our eight clans for governance? We will certainly not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations!"
The Holy Lord of the Si Clan pointed to the Central Plains. Although a lot of territory had been divided up and the Central Plains' territory had been reduced by almost half, the eight royal clans still wanted this land.
The eight royal families are Ying, Si, Yun, Ji, Jiang, Gui, Yao, and Ji.
Their ancestors were the eight great human emperors who attained enlightenment during the ancient times, and the First Emperor was one of them.
These eight royal families are a thorn in the side of the ancestral court, but due to the unity of the eight families, the ancestral court has never had the opportunity to eliminate the Ying clan.
"Alright." Meng Chen nodded slightly. The eight royal families have ruled the Central Plains since ancient times. Entrusting this place to them will reduce a lot of trouble.
The eight clan leaders were overjoyed. After a brief discussion, they named the new state "Human Emperor's Divine State," also known as "Human Emperor's World."
Time flies, and one after another, the land of China was divided up and granted out.
The Sumeru World, the Vast World, the Soaring World, and the smallest, yet most important, Taihao World.
There was no other reason than that the Sun Tree stood tall in the Taihao world.
Nine great lands, nine kingdoms.
Thus, the entire prehistoric land has been reshuffled.
"My lords, I will soon cast thirteen supreme dragon veins into the Nine Provinces. At that time, I will use the dragon veins as the core of the formation to set up the Nine Dragons Nine Heavens Imperial Formation to protect the realm. Once this formation is completed, a boundary wall will appear..."
Meng Chen explained in detail to the people in charge of the prehistoric world the use of the Emperor Array. It separates the nine divine continents with boundary walls, but does not prevent movement and communication between them. Its main purpose is to protect the prehistoric world, sort out the traces of the myriad paths, absorb the turbid dust from outside the boundary, and then transform it into the essence of heaven and earth, etc.
In addition, Meng Chen will use the immortal gold he extorted from the Mu family to refine nine imperial cauldrons to suppress the fortune of the Nine Provinces and the anomalies of heaven and earth.
The Four Seas are no exception. Meng Chen will also set up an unparalleled imperial formation and refine the Sea-Stabilizing Needle to stabilize the land of the Four Seas and suppress the sea eyes of the Four Seas.
"Your Majesty is wise!" ×N
After hearing Meng Chen's plan, the powerful beings of the primordial world all bowed deeply to him, and their voices grew even louder as they gained benefits from it.
After the affairs of the Nine Provinces were concluded, the people of the Primordial World gradually left the Taihao Palace and returned to their respective clans to prepare for the separation of the Nine Provinces.
"The world is now divided; it's time to deal with the Meng family..."
As the hall fell silent, the imposing figure on the throne slowly rose, took a step, and vanished from the Taihao Hall…
