Cultivating Immortals in Two Worlds: From Qing Fu to Primordial Chaos

Chapter 447 Dividing the Fruit
Then Yan Ju discussed some details in detail with the second-generation Zhu Rong.

The task of pioneering was inherently fraught with danger, and many areas could only be completed by the second-generation Zhu Rong and Yan Ju, while some minor details could be left to other deities.

This matter not only has great merit, but it can also enhance one's spiritual practice in the process.

This is especially true for fire-attribute deities.

This is a feast.

Since there are benefits, they should be carefully distributed to avoid unfair distribution and potential problems.

Throughout history, countless calamities have resulted from unequal distribution of benefits.

Ultimately, the two finalized the number of people from each side to participate in the matter.

Among them, the Zhurong tribe accounted for 30%, the Yan Emperor accounted for 30%, the Xuanmen accounted for 30%, and the Heavenly Court accounted for 10%.

The divine positions that were created were also divided in this way.

However, the selection of the person must be discussed and approved by both parties to prevent the inclusion of unscrupulous individuals who could ultimately ruin the entire operation.

The one in charge was the second generation of Zhu Rong.

The second-generation Zhu Rong was responsible for opening up more than a thousand major fire spirit orifices.

Yanju was responsible for a portion of the main branches and orifices, numbering in the thousands, while the remaining intricate details were left to the selected fire gods to complete together.

Two people ate the meat, while the others drank the soup.

Afterwards, he returned to the Heavenly Court and reported the matter to Shennong and his wife.

At the Yan Emperor's Palace, Shennong learned of Yan Ju and the second generation Zhu Rong's ideas and was slightly surprised, but then smiled.

"Opening up the mind is beneficial to the harmony of the five elements and yin and yang of heaven and earth, and the creation of all things. I will discuss this matter with the Taoist masters of the Xuanmen, and they will certainly give their full support!"

He paused slightly, then continued.

"However, it's commendable that my son thought of bringing the Xuanmen over!"

Yan Ju thought to himself.

"If we don't bring those precious second-generation and third-generation disciples of the Xuanmen into our fold, how can the Three Venerables truly exert their efforts!"

He then sent another message to the Ziwei Palace.

This matter absolutely requires the help of someone from the Ziwei Palace to mediate.

Otherwise, there will inevitably be disputes.

There's a possibility of severe bleeding.

After Yanju left, the Heavenly Emperor Shennong hurriedly went to Kunlun Mountain.

Opening the Fire Spirit Heart Palace will inevitably attract the attention of powerful beings from the Other Shore; this matter requires the intervention of other beings from the Other Shore.

However, he believed that the three masters of the Xuanmen sect would agree.

This is also of great benefit to the Xuanmen (Taoist) sect.

Moreover, Zhu Rong has already agreed to hand over a portion of the divine positions and fortune born from the depths of the ancient earth to the Xuanmen.

This is a win-win situation.

However, if one day the second generation of Zhu Rong is unable to resist and the ancient earth core falls into the hands of the primordial fire god of the Earth Emperor Palace lineage, it would be a great disaster for the Xuanmen.

It will also affect the battle between gods and mystics.

Ziwei Star, Ziwei Palace

An unparalleled, vast, and supreme purple aura enveloped the divine palace from all directions, making it sacred and majestic.

It seemed as if boundless purple energy transformed into a galaxy, originating from which it permeated the entire sky, forming layers of purple cloud steps that spread beyond the Purple Star, creating an unparalleled magnificence and vastness.

Taiwei Daoist sat on the Heavenly Emperor's Throne in the center of the Ziwei Dao Palace, with several disciples from Biyou Palace below him.

He is meeting with guests.

Suddenly, a streak of light pierced through the purple clouds in the void and landed in front of him. He caught it with a wave of his hand, and at the same time, a message flew out from it, transforming into lines of text.

Those four people, including Zhao Gongming, below dared not look up when they saw this scene.

The Taoist Taiwei glanced over, a hint of mockery in his eyes.

Since Zhu Rong and Yan Ju wanted to complete their plan, he naturally had to lend them a hand.

But he wasn't in a hurry. He then turned his gaze to Zhao Gongming and the Three Immortal Maidens of Sanxiao and pondered for a moment.

"The wind and cloud-based immortal techniques displayed by Junior Brother Zhao and Junior Sister Sanxiao are indeed quite extraordinary. Why don't they stay in the Ziwei Palace to await their duties? As for their divine positions, they can serve as messengers of the Ziwei Palace, inspecting various places on my behalf, investigating the faults of the gods, and also serving as messengers of wind and clouds, wielding the power of wind and water in the celestial sphere!"

Upon hearing this, the four siblings were immediately delighted.

The way the Taiwei Daoist arranged for the four people was considered a courtesy, especially since it represented the Ziwei Emperor's inspection of the starry sky and his supervision of the faults of the gods, which was of great power.

The four of them were even somewhat flattered.

Zhao Gongming hesitated slightly, then couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty, we have not rendered any service, is it inappropriate for us to be appointed to such a high position..."

Master Taiwei glanced at the four siblings and smiled.

"The Ziwei Palace has always been open to recruiting talents without being bound by convention. As long as someone has special abilities, I will never be stingy with granting them divine authority. However, the matter of oversight is indeed of great importance. I hope that Junior Brother Zhao and the three Junior Sisters will put some thought into it to avoid being misled!"

After a moment's thought, the Taoist Taiwei spoke again.

"Alright then, you will stay in the Ziwei Palace for three months. I will have some ancient immortals in the palace teach you some techniques for judging people, and then we will set off!"

Zhao Gongming was overjoyed upon hearing this and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Your Majesty's considerations are indeed thorough!"

Upon hearing this, both Fairy Qiongxiao and Fairy Bixiao turned their beautiful eyes to Daoist Taiwei, feeling that the figure on the Heavenly Emperor's throne shone with boundless light and his beautiful eyes were sparkling.

Fairy Yunxiao took in this scene and sighed inwardly.

However, she also felt that this senior brother Taiwei acted with thoroughness and was admirable.

The four siblings got up and left the Ziwei Palace.

Upon seeing this, Daoist Taiwei slowly rose to his feet.

These four siblings are all promising talents, but they are arrogant and unwilling to lower their guard, making them easily provoked. He had them patrol a part of the star field in his place in order to temper their character.

The reason for having them learn the art of judging character first was also for this reason. Once these four siblings have honed their skills and become more worldly-wise, they will be able to become four great generals in the Ziwei Palace.

This can be considered a way of repaying the Shangqing Daoist for his high regard.

After a moment's thought, he summoned his many personal disciples and inner disciples.

In addition, there are many outer disciples and inner disciples who cultivate the fire attribute.

There were several hundred people in total.

He then revealed that the Xuanmen sect was about to cooperate with the Yan Emperor tribe to explore the ancient Earth's core.

"I intend to select a portion of you to enter the ancient Earth's core, to assist the Great Sun Holy Emperor and His Highness the Fire God in this grand undertaking!"

Upon hearing this, all the immortals and gods in the palace were overjoyed.

Emperor Huo stood among the disciples and bowed respectfully upon hearing this.

"Master, I am willing to lead a group of junior brothers and sisters to the ancient core of the earth to accomplish this unparalleled feat!"

Many outer disciples and registered disciples nearby also volunteered.

Their faces were full of spirit.

Even some outer disciples and nominal disciples know that once this matter is completed, it will bring considerable merit and fortune.

Of course, aside from these factors, participating in such a grand event can also be of great help to one's own spiritual practice.

However, their knowledge was ultimately inferior to that of the inner disciples and direct disciples like Emperor Huo.

Emperor Fire knew very well that although the ancient journey to the Earth's core was dangerous, if it succeeded, it would bring not only benefits but also fame.

Only with fame can one acquire talent.

Moreover, he speculated that the successful opening of the ancient earth's core would likely give rise to many fire-attribute deities, similar to the southwest earth's lungs.

Although he is now the Mars Star Lord of the Zhou Tian Starry Sky, in charge of the source of fire, he does not think he has too much.

The Taoist Taiwei landed on him and said.

"In that case, you shall lead some of the fire gods from the Ziwei Palace down to the mortal realm to lend a helping hand to the Great Sun Holy Emperor!"

Emperor Huo bowed and said.

"Yes!"

Master Taiwei glanced at the others. He had eight personal disciples in total, having entered his palace.

They are Xuanfeng, Dilingji, Gulin, Kongxuan, Guanghua, Dihuo, Bingxueer, Taichu Daoren, and Dihongshi.

But only the Emperor Fire cultivates the fire element.

After witnessing Emperor Huo leave with many outer and registered disciples, Daoist Taiwei turned his gaze to the earth.

The calamity of the Di Hong clan on Earth should be approaching soon.

However, they also took this opportunity to further suppress the Imperial Palace.

Human Emperor Palace

In the place where the Purple Star shone brightly, boundless dragon energy from all directions surged into the depths of the Human Emperor's Palace.

In the Emperor's Palace, Emperor Hongshi was gazing at the Boundless Emperor Map in his hand.

As more and more of the Nine Palaces deities returned to their positions, Emperor Hongshi clearly sensed that the Human Emperor's throne he controlled was becoming increasingly powerful.

He gradually broke free from the constraints of the Ziwei Heavenly Emperor's origins and found the Yellow Emperor's Great Dao that belonged to him.

This path is formed by the condensation of the Earth Spirit and the Great Dao of the Heavenly Emperor.

Just then, a thought suddenly struck him, and a moment later, a messenger from the underworld came to report.

"The envoy from the Blackwater tribe in the north has arrived and is waiting to see Your Majesty outside the palace gates!"

Those were envoys sent by the Blackwater tribe to pay tribute.

Every so often, powerful tribes from across the land would send envoys to pay tribute.

Outside the Emperor's Palace, several Blackwater people were waiting. These Blackwater people had rather peculiar appearances, with necks that were different from ordinary people, able to stretch and twist like snake necks, covered in snake scales, and surrounded by a strong Yin energy.

The gods in front of the Human Emperor's Palace watched this scene with slight surprise. As divine generals in front of the Human Emperor's Palace, they were quite knowledgeable, but they had never seen such a strange race.

The burly man at the head of the group, having waited for some time, couldn't help but ask one of the golden-armored dragon gods.

"Your Majesty, how much longer do we have to wait?!"

His gaze fell upon the front of the hall, where a divine mirror, radiating nine-colored light, shone brightly. It seemed capable of reflecting all changes in the world. As the mirror's light swept over the group of five, nothing changed.

Upon seeing this, the Golden-Armored Dragon God laughed.

"Your Excellencies may now enter!"

The burly man in black nodded slightly, then led the five men into the Emperor's Palace. From afar, he saw a majestic Emperor dressed as an emperor on the nine-headed dragon throne.

Upon seeing that figure exuding an aura of imperial authority, the burly man at the head of the group quickly took out a wooden box from his robes and held it up with both hands.

"The people of Blackwater, Hei Kui, have come to pay homage to His Majesty the Human Emperor on the orders of His Majesty the King, wishing His Majesty eternal indestructibility and the attainment of the Primordial Dao!"

The other Blackwater people also bowed down in unison.

The figure on the throne looked over, and Hei felt an invisible pressure coming down with him. After a moment, a faint voice came.

"King Blackwater is very kind. Keep the tribute here and go to the Hall of Fortune and Prosperity to receive your reward!"

They then signaled that they could leave.

Hei Kui was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. It was that simple?
Did this Emperor Hongshi not even have the slightest curiosity about the rare and precious treasures presented as tribute by the Blackwater King, a major tribe in the north?

But how could he assassinate it then?

He glanced around discreetly. The Emperor's Palace was imposing and protected by the majestic aura of the Emperor's dragon.

There might even be a hidden killing formation.

He wasn't very confident unless he was close enough.

They were caught in a dilemma.
