Chapter 1756 Changes in the Three Realms
The subsequent changes in the situation in the bitter sea world were indeed similar to what the old Taoist Gu Yao had predicted before.
Not long after many geniuses and great powers in the Xuantian Three Realms were attracted by the many benefits promised by Di Ting and Amitabha and left with them, a terrible disaster broke out in the Hongmeng Three Realms and the heavens and all the worlds.
There were countless great immortals and late immortals who were infected and demonized by the dark power and eventually became the dark demons. The great powers in the Hongmeng Three Realms could not resist their attacks and were defeated one after another.
In the Xuantian Three Realms, large tracts of territory were occupied by the dark demons, and the dark demonic energy continued to spread in many heavenly realms of Xuantian.
In less than a month, the seven heavenly realms of Xuanwu and the seven heavenly realms of Baihu were completely occupied by the dark demons. What's more terrifying is that as the dark demonic energy invaded the fourteen heavenly realms of Taiyi Realm, the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao and the corresponding avenues here all changed hands and became the world of the dark heavenly Dao!
Not only did these fourteen heavenly domains fall, but also the Daluo Realm where the Xuanwu Holy Land and the White Tiger Holy Land, which ruled these fourteen heavenly domains, were located, and eventually became the dojo of the Dark Demon Clan. Under the control of the Dark Holy Spirit, it changed the world and became the holy land of the Dark Demon Clan.
The fall of these two holy lands completely shocked the four great celestial masters of the Four Holy Realms of Xuantian, and also made the creatures of the entire Hongmeng Xuantian suddenly realize that this was probably the legendary Dark Tribulation!
When the Xuanwu Holy Land and the White Tiger Holy Land and their subordinate heavenly domains fell, the Azure Dragon Holy Land and the Vermillion Bird Holy Land naturally could not escape alone.
When the two holy lands fell, the Azure Dragon Holy Land and the Vermillion Bird Holy Land also fell.
Moreover, the speed at which these two holy lands fell was even faster than that of the Xuanwu Holy Land and the White Tiger Holy Land. In fact, it is more appropriate to say that they fell than to say that they surrendered.
After all, the Merit Holy Spirit is different from the Dark Holy Spirit. Wherever the Dark Holy Spirit passes, it directly infects the earth with dark magic energy and demonizes living beings. Whether you like it or not, you will eventually be demonized by the dark magic energy and become a dark demon clan.
In contrast to the dark demon clan, after directly occupying the Qinglong Seven Heavens and the Suzaku Seven Heavens of the Taiyi Realm, the Merit Holy Spirit quickly replaced the original Hongmeng Heavenly Dao with his own Merit Heavenly Dao, and sent down the power of merit, so that the great immortals and late immortals who were conquered by him were scattered into the fourteen heavenly realms, conquering large and small forces, and personally guiding them to cultivate the power of merit and achieve the position of merit!
Of course, the Merit Holy Spirit was able to conquer these two holy places and the Taiyi Realm under its jurisdiction so quickly, mainly due to the power of merit, which had long been inherited in the Hongmeng Three Realms.
In just one month, the Dark Holy Spirit and the Merit Holy Spirit divided the Daluo Realm and the Taiyi Realm equally.
Both sides seemed to be very restrained. Whether in the ancient demon tomb or in Hongmeng Xuantian, the expected battle for the dominance of the Heavenly Dao did not break out.
As if they had agreed, they all chose to occupy the territory in the world of Bitter Sea first, increase their foundation, and then use the creatures under the rule of Heavenly Dao to fight the final battle for the dominance of Heavenly Dao.
It is no wonder that Gu Yao Laodao and others could not guess this situation. In fact, it is a battle for the dominance of Heavenly Dao, not a simple replacement of Heavenly Dao. It is more important to fight the creatures in the region under the dominance of Heavenly Dao.
This kind of battle only broke out once shortly after this world was opened up by Pan Zu. It has been countless tens of thousands of years since then. It is normal that the creatures in the bitter sea do not know this.
The only thing to be thankful for for the time being is that the immortals who are unwilling to surrender in the three realms of Xuantian have either died in battle or retreated to the four holy realms above the holy realm barrier.
Although the Daluo Realm and Taiyi Realm had fallen, for some unknown reason, the Dark Holy Spirit and the Merit Holy Spirit were not in a hurry to attack the four holy realms on the holy realm barrier.
Their expansion steps spread to the heavens and myriad worlds around the Hongmeng Three Realms. However, the heavens and myriad worlds are scattered in the real world and the illusionary world of the bitter sea world. It is not possible to completely occupy and unify them in a short time.
This also gave more heavenly powers who did not want to submit to the two great holy spirits to gather towards the four holy realms.
As for the earth spirit world under the Xuantian Realm and the Tianzhou continent scattered in the bitter sea world, they were not as stable as the Taiyi Realm and the Daluo Realm, but quickly fell into endless wars.
The two sides of the war are naturally divided into the creatures under the dark heaven and the merit heaven.
In the Earth Spirit Realm, Beidou Jianzun accidentally joined the Merit Holy Spirit, and with the help of the Merit Holy Spirit, he successfully transformed into the Heavenly Dao and became the Merit Heavenly Lord, which made the expansion of the Merit Heavenly Dao in the Earth Spirit Realm go very smoothly.
It is said that in just over a month, 70% of the places have been under the Merit Heavenly Dao and turned into the Merit Earth Realm.
However, with the emergence of the Dark Holy Spirit and the Dark God Tree, the dark demons who were originally suppressed in the Earth Spirit Realm and the heavens and all the worlds and have not died have also escaped and joined the Dark Holy Spirit, constantly expanding the ranks of the dark demons.
Among them, the most fearful news for the creatures of the heavens and all the worlds is the emergence of the Dark Night Demon Queen and the reappearance of the Dark Demon Nest.
Under the control of the Dark Night Demon Queen, the speed of the Dark Demon Nest to demonize and produce dark demons is dozens of times that of the dark demon energy.
Therefore, after the appearance of the two, the number of dark demons is constantly increasing at an extremely terrifying speed.
The entire world of suffering seemed to have fallen into unprecedented chaos in just over a month.
When the Dark Holy Spirit and the Merit Holy Spirit came into the world and began to sweep across the heavens and the worlds, the several Hongmeng Tianzun who had appeared in the ancient holy land seemed to have suddenly disappeared, and there was no news about them.
And with their disappearance, there were naturally many geniuses and powerful people in the Hongmeng Three Realms and the heavens and the worlds.
It was half a year later when Wu Yan learned all these news from Longxuzi.
At this time, Yuantongtian had changed its owner, and the world master was no longer the Dragon Emperor, but a foreign Merit Great Immortal Venerable.
It is said that the cultivation of this Merit Great Immortal Venerable is much stronger than the original headmaster of the Qinglong Holy Land, and he is the first batch of Great Immortal Venerables who surrendered to the Merit Holy Spirit.
This Merit Great Immortal Venerable did not move the capital, and still chose the original Dragon Emperor Capital as the capital, but changed the name of the Dragon Emperor Capital to the Merit Yuantong Saint Mansion.
Of course, this was not his idea. The fourteen Taiyi Realm Heavenly Domains belonging to the Holy Spirit of Merit have all been renamed the Merit Holy Palace, and the Palace Masters are all Great Merit Immortal Venerables.
The original forces that were intertwined throughout the world were also occupied by the sects and families brought from the outside world by the Palace Master, as well as other large and small Merit Immortal Venerables.
The original Hongmeng creatures all became vassals of these outsiders.
In fact, in the world of bitter sea, the Hongmeng Three Realms of the pseudo-world have never been the most valued place by the great powers of the heavens and the worlds.
The reason is that the Heavenly Dao here is incomplete, and the power of the Heavenly Dao is not strong. For the strong who have cultivated to the late stage of the Immortal Venerable, it is no longer of much use.
This is also the main reason why there are very few Immortal Venerables and Heavenly Venerables in the Hongmeng Three Realms.
But now it is different. The Dark Holy Spirit and the Merit Holy Spirit have all chosen to root their original bodies in this realm. As a result, the power of the Heavenly Dao here has naturally become the best in the world of the Sea of Bitterness, and it has also become a holy place for all the immortals who want to cultivate the power of darkness and the power of merit.
Longxuzi is no longer the manager of this area, and now he has become a Taoist boy under Wu Yan. Of course, this is also what he is willing to do.
Since the imperial capital has been replaced by the Holy Palace, the large and small forces that originally occupied the imperial capital have naturally all been replaced.
The place where Wu Yan rented was allocated to an outsider Merit Holy Emperor.
This Merit Holy Emperor is named Fei Changtian. He is already in the late stage of cultivation and is not far from becoming a Taoist Immortal. Similarly, he is also a disciple of the Lord of Yuantong Holy Palace, which is why he can own a small industry here.
Originally, even the Golden Immortal would not look at a small piece of land, but now it is occupied by a Meritorious Saint Emperor, and it can only be obtained by relying on a powerful backer. From this, we can imagine how precious the territory of the three realms of Xuantian is now.
There is naturally a reason for this.
As a native immortal of Hongmeng Xuantian, Wu Yan was not only not driven out of such a precious courtyard, but was able to continue to rent it here. This matter still makes Longxuzi feel incredible.
You know, Wu Yan's cultivation is only in the late Yuanxian realm, and he has not yet broken through to the Saint realm. And the courtyard he rented is only ten thousand miles away from the Saint Palace, belonging to the real core area of Yuantong Saint Palace!
In such a place, I am afraid that there is only Wu Yan, who is in the late Yuanxian realm. The lowest cultivation of other Meritorious Immortals living in this area is also the Meritorious Saint Emperor realm!
What really brings Wu Yan convenience is not just his terrifying alchemy!
Just a few months ago, not long after Yuantongtian fell, the Dragon Emperor evacuated the imperial capital and fled with his tribe. Suddenly, a golden lotus fell from the sky and landed in the center of the original Dragon Emperor's imperial palace, destroying all the buildings of the original palace and turning its area of 10,000 miles into a golden lotus pond.
This golden lotus, with its strong power of merit, suddenly turned into thousands of large and small golden lotus leaves and lotus flowers as soon as it entered the lotus pond, turning this 10,000-mile lotus pond into a real merit pond.
At the same time as the merit pond was derived, a great merit immortal was also wrapped in a golden lotus and landed on the side of the merit pond.
This great merit immortal was Situ Bofeng, the lord of Yuantong Saint Mansion. As soon as he landed on the side of the merit pond, he saw a native immortal from Yuantongtian, bathing in the golden holy light, walking towards the merit pond, and before Situ Bofeng could stop him, he plunged into the merit pond.
This native fairy was Wu Yan, who had changed his appearance and transformed into Gu Tian, hiding in the imperial capital. He entered the Merit Pool for three full days before coming out.
When he came out of the Merit Pool, there was actually a golden lotus protecting him.
