Chapter 596: Chapter 545: Boiled Emperor, Artificial Holiday

Yu King gathered copper from Jiuzhou to cast the Nine Cauldrons.

He had artisans use female gold for the Yin Tripods and male gold for the Yang Tripods.

Corresponding to Jiuzhou: Jun State, Yan State, Yu State, Dai State, Jiangzhou, Huai State, Qiongzhou, Liangzhou, and Yong State.

Of all the Yu-cast Nine Cauldrons, five were made as Yang Tripods using the Yingyang Method, and four as Yin Tripods, symbolizing the Yin count.

The knowledge inscribed on the Nine Cauldrons is the foundation of the Nine Soldiers and is also the earliest activated knowledge, the Slaughter Science!

It is said that after the cauldrons were completed, for nine consecutive days there appeared the auspicious sign of Gold Star Taibai shining in the daylight.

The cauldrons evolved from being containers, cooking utensils, sacrificial vessels, ritual artifacts, to treasures, divine artifacts, completely changing their practical use to become sacred items worshipped by the nation.

Thereafter, the successful changing of dynasties was called "setting the cauldrons in the Central Plains" or "setting the cauldrons in the world", all because of these Nine Cauldrons.

In the eras of Xia, Shang, and Zhou, the tripods were always filled with clear water to divine the auspices of the weather.

In Xia Jie’s time, the water in the tripods suddenly boiled; and as the Zhou dynasty neared its end, all Nine Cauldrons quivered.

These were all omens of impending doom!

The Nine Cauldrons are of great significance to the civilizational inheritance of Red County Divine Land, even more so than the Imperial Jade Seal.

On the day when the knowledge of the Hundred Schools of Thought collectively activated, they were sent into the Underworld by the ancestors of the Nine Soldiers.

They then became the central hub of the entire Red County Shenzhou’s "Mountain and River Country Formation" and "Dragon Qi Prohibition."

From then on, these Nine Cauldrons can be considered a possession and anchor of the Human Dao and the native Heavenly Dao of our world.

If the "Ancient Twelve Corpses" became part of the Heavenly Dao, then these "Nine Cauldrons" are part of the Human Dao, never again to be divided.

In front of Wang Yuan, this Yu State Tripod, continuously inhaling and exhaling dragon energy, was filled with bubbling, boiling liquid dragon energy.

Underneath the violently churning surface, there were three large... dragon eggs being boiled.

"Hiss!

If the Qi Fortune Golden Dragon of a dynasty lays an egg, then these three eggs being boiled in the Yu State Tripod, seem to be the Dragon Courts of the three dynasties in the twenty-three dynasty history of Red County Shenzhou!"

Seeing this scene, he couldn’t help but take a sharp breath of cold air.

[With eyes as deep as indigo] he could see clearly, within the semi-transparent golden dragon eggs, all elements of mountains, cities, gardens, and palaces were present.

Whether it be buildings or trees, grass, all conformed to absolute horizontality and verticality, or to absolute symmetry, with not the slightest bit of disorder.

Moreover, the overall architectural styles varied.

In the very center of the dragon eggs, with a golden dragon coiling around the column, flags of gold with the names Liang, Jin, and Wu hung separately above the dazzlingly splendid Imperial Palace.

In the main hall, they were all led by a monarch with an aura mighty and domineering, sitting quietly flanked by two rows of figures clad in various dragon robes.

These figures represented all the Emperors of a dynasty.

The majesty of the king was as massive as mountains and seas.

Had it not been for Wang Yuan himself holding the Emperor Position, he might have been unable to resist kneeling on the ground.

The number of emperors varied across these three dynasties, with the virtues of fire, water, and earth being present to differing extents.

But without exception, they all bore a shining golden dragon’s head.

The richer the dragon energy on their body, the more complete the dragon’s head on their neck; conversely, the more remnants of human characteristics they retained.

The pattern was fundamentally a sequential diminishment from the founding monarch to the last emperor, with the so-called rejuvenating monarchs being exceedingly rare.

This also conformed to the objective pattern in agricultural empires that "Divine Skills do not reach the level of land annexation."

Besides these emperors being boiled in the Nine Cauldrons, there was no one else in the oppressive dragon eggs.

Wang Yuan could see that these emperors of Red County Shenzhou’s history have survived to this day only because they have all been deeply eroded by dragon energy.

Their invasion was deeper than that of those City Gods on the ground who had become "clay dolls and wooden statues", nodes of Dharma Prohibition, and they were now permanently a part of the Dragon Qi Prohibition.

To say they were human-shaped dragon energy was no exaggeration.

If the tumultuous Thirty-Three Heavens are the ultimate in chaos, then this place is the ultimate in order!

"So it is, from the founding to the demise, the emperors of each era did not enter reincarnation.

Instead, they left the six realms, slumbering in these Nine Cauldrons.

Well, you could also say they became the ’ingredients’ in the Nine Cauldrons or the ’Elixir’ used for enlightening dragon energy.

Since these Yu-cast Nine Cauldrons fell into the hands of the Yin Department, even the Nine Soldiers are unclear about their subsequent developments.

In vain, I have become the Eastern Ghost Emperor; for such a long time, I’ve actually overlooked such details."

Seeing this spectacle, Wang Yuan finally understood that these Yu-cast Nine Cauldrons, like the Ancient Twelve Corpses, were not just the superficial nine large cauldrons that they appeared to be.

Inside them were the emperors from the beginning of Xia to the recently fallen Great Yan, totaling twenty-three dynasties.

These past emperors, though they did not possess longevity and were even shorter-lived than ordinary people, represented the will of millions and were the highest "Divine Position" in the Mortal World!

In life, they were supported by the people, wielding the power to grant life and death, where the wrath of an emperor could result in a million corpses, and even casually establish or abolish any gods within the Human Dao.

After they passed away, they were all sent here by the Heavenly Dao to be refined and boiled by dragon energy for hundreds of years.

Humanity disappeared from their hearts, leaving only a trace of pure "Divinity" representing the institutional rule—[Emperor]!

This affirms the saying, "To bear the nation’s filth is the role of the Sacrificial Master; to bear the nation’s ill fortune makes one the king of all below Heaven."

And this Yu-cast Nine Cauldrons, combined with past emperors altogether, is really what constitutes the central hub of the actual "Mountain and River Country Formation" and "Dragon Qi Prohibition."

Wang Yuan’s thoughts stirred.

"I have a feeling that my promotion ceremony as [Yin Heaven Son] may just fall on this."
