Chapter 620: Chapter 54: Establishing the Dao Dynasty, Ennobling the Myriad Ministers, the 3 Pure Ones Congratulate Me

Xuandu’s expression was grave. His mind churned, unable to make sense of the current situation.

They had been sealed by Amitabha Buddha. When they were suddenly released, they gazed out upon the world, only to find it calm and peaceful. Amitabha was nowhere to be seen, nor was the Buddha Mother.

And yet, this mysterious Dao Fruit had suddenly appeared before them...

’Who is this Dao Fruit?’

’Or rather, which great senior’s incarnation is he?’

The Ancestral Dragon narrowed his eyes cautiously. Emperor Fengdu’s expression was heavy. Zhenyuan Zi silently took a step back.

At the same time, Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes. His demeanor was solemn, and around his face, Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water slowly churned, accompanied by countless profound and mysterious phenomena.

He spoke with majesty, as if issuing a Celestial Decree.

"The Mandate of the Han Dynasty is exhausted. The great calamity of the Late Han Dynasty has ended. The conflict between man, Dao, and Buddha has been recorded and its outcome decided."

The great voice resounded throughout heaven and earth. Whether they were the Immortal Gods in the heavens, the people on earth, or the vengeful ghosts and fierce spirits in the Nine Nether, all turned their ears to listen.

The many Daluo standing before Lu Xuan also wore grave expressions, eager to understand what was happening.

’What... exactly happened?’

Lu Xuan continued:

"The world is now settled and all is at peace. I wish to establish a dynasty that shall rule over the Celestial Realm above, reside in the Human World in the middle, and govern the Nine Nether below. I will rank you all according to your merits, establish your positions, and enfeoff the heavens of three ages. This dynasty shall be named..."

"Dao."

"Dao is the mystery of all mysteries. It contains the measure of heaven and earth and encompasses the distinctions of all things. It commands the wonders of all the Celestial Realms. Dao is ancient, and what is ancient is long-lived. What is long-lived is inexhaustible, and what is inexhaustible is infinite. The fortune of this dynasty shall be equal to that of heaven and earth."

"Named for Dao, it can be called the Dao Dynasty, or the Dao Country... This great dynasty is hereby established!"

As Lu Xuan’s solemn voice faded, the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms trembled, the Human World swayed, and the Nine Nether hummed!

Most of the Immortal Gods and living beings were bewildered, listening in a daze. But a few of the ancient powers from the Celestial Realms and the Daluo gathered before Lu Xuan all gasped in shock.

Ordinary beings might not have understood, but they knew with absolute certainty what it meant for a single dynasty to rule the Celestial Realm, the Human World, and the Nine Nether!

’This person before them... with such immense ambition, isn’t he afraid of provoking the wrath of Heaven? Isn’t he afraid that all the Dao Fruits will descend in fury?!’

Subconsciously, Xuandu, Zhenyuan Zi, and the others looked up at the boundless firmament. But they only saw it suffused with a purple light. Then, a tide of purple qi surged forth as Immortal Flowers bloomed and Golden Lotuses blossomed...

It seemed to be a celebration, a congratulation.

No, it *was* a grand celebration, a great congratulation!

As for the so-called punishment from Heaven... there was no sign of it at all.

’How could this be??’

These Daluo did not know that the punishment and tribulation Heaven should have sent down had already been borne in its entirety by a certain good person...

At this moment, Lu Xuan gazed upon the magnificent phenomena, quietly observing the phantom images of the myriad realms, a faint smile on his lips.

"Now that the Dao Dynasty is established, I shall enfeoff three heavens."

"The first heaven is Spring and Autumn. The Spring and Autumn Years carry the Dao of Taiqing, with a single volume of Daoist Virtue spreading throughout the world. Above the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms, another heaven shall be added. It shall be the Spring and Autumn Heaven, also known as the Taiqing Celestial Realm and the Supreme Celestial Realm."

"The second heaven is Qin. The years of Great Qin carry the Dao of Shangqing. Shangqing is established through conquest and is the final destination for all spirits. This shall be the Thirty-Fifth Celestial Realm, called Qin Heaven, the Shangqing Celestial Realm, and the Spirit Treasure Celestial Realm."

"The third heaven is Han. The years of the Great Han carry the Dao of Yuqing. Yuqing is the beginning, the origin of all things. This shall be the Thirty-Sixth Celestial Realm, called the Han Celestial Realm, the Yuqing Celestial Realm, and the Primordial Celestial Realm."

As Lu Xuan’s words fell,

under the gazes of all beings in the Great Heaven and Earth, the Thirty-Three Celestial Realms suddenly shot upward, transforming from the number thirty-three to the number thirty-six.

The old Celestial Realm had thirty-three levels; the new Celestial Realm has thirty-six. The three additional levels all belong to Lu Xuan.

The Thirty-Six Celestial Realms emerged at this moment, yet they were also born at The Beginning of Ancient Times, their light reflecting upon all of Ancient History, upon all worlds and All Realms.

From this day forth, back to ages before and forward to ages after, the heavens would have thirty-six levels. This would be true for all Ancient Realms.

A rumbling sound echoed through all worlds and All Realms. Great waves stirred the past and future of the Years. History was changed, altered from its very source!

"Since the Dao Dynasty has been established and three heavens enfeoffed, I must offer my congratulations."

An ethereal voice drifted over. The Daluo subconsciously looked up, their hearts seizing in terror. Without exception, they all bowed in ritual greeting.

The newcomer was...

The Supreme.

To be precise, it was The Three Pristine Ones.

The Three Pristine Ones drifted into view, a rare sight as they entered the River of Time and the Great Heaven and Earth together. And they all came in their true forms—the Supreme even brought his Eight Trigrams Furnace!

Zhenyuan Zi, being relatively the most ancient among them, felt this most deeply. He knew that ever since The Beginning of Ancient Times,

throughout the infinite Chapters of Ancient History and its infinite transformations,

The Three Pristine Ones had never once appeared in the Great Heaven and Earth in their true forms at the same time.

Never!

Zhenyuan Zi swallowed hard, his heart pounding violently. The hairs on his body stood on end. Then, as if remembering something, he snapped his gaze toward that mysterious Existence.

’To make The Three Pristine Ones appear together... no, it can’t be, can it??’

An absurd thought flashed through his mind, but then he suddenly felt it was only natural.

’This person... the one who quietly spread his Cultivation at The Beginning of Ancient Times and obtained the Dao Ancestor Embryo... for him to become a Dao Fruit so quickly... it doesn’t seem impossible, does it??’

’But if that’s the case, then in that battle, Amitabha... lost?’

It wasn’t just Zhenyuan Zi; Xuandu, the Jade Void Twelve Immortals, and the others also considered this possibility, but they immediately rejected it.

Lu Xuan’s talent was world-shaking, but to say he had achieved the Dao Fruit?

’How could it be so fast!’

From the Spring and Autumn Period until now, only a few tens of thousands of years had passed.

For Daluo like them, a simple nap could last for a hundred thousand Years!

Just as the minds of the Daluo were reeling,

The Three Pristine Ones had arrived.

Lu Xuan was about to rise and bow, but the Supreme stopped him with a raised hand.

The old man said with a smile:

"Today, you are the host. There is no need for ceremony. At this moment, you are our equal."

Lu Xuan was not a Dao Fruit, but by controlling a part of the Great Heaven and Earth, he was comparable to one. In a sense, he had truly achieved a standing equal to The Three Pristine Ones, not just bluffing his way through with his identity as the Purple Cloud Palace Master...
