This is so dishonest!

Chapter 340 Yu Chen's Fierce Attack; Xuan Qing's Unbearable Pain
As the gods of Taiwei conversed, a small, pitch-black boat swayed and moved forward on the river of time and space.

"Did you catch anything or not? I'm about to cast my net."

On the ferry, the handsome ferryman, dressed in flowing white robes, had seen the scenery of various worlds and times, and finally focused his gaze on the small pine tree by the side of the boat.

"Retrieving people from the river of time is a technical job. If it's really not possible, I'll do it."

Xiaosong remained unmoved and insisted, "Don't rush, okay? Fishing requires patience."

"Also, I don't see any special skills in you. Aren't you just casting a wide net to catch as many fish as possible?"

"You've caught the fish, but you haven't enjoyed the pleasure of fishing!"

After listening, the ferryman nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes a lot of sense."

"But my happiness comes from catching the fish, not yours."

Looking at Xiaosong, who had once again caught nothing, the ferryman asked with a smile, "You've been fishing for so long without catching a single fish, are you really happy?"

"."

Komatsu turned his head away and said, "I'm happy!"

"Alright." The ferryman couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that Xiaosong was so stubborn, he had no choice but to wait a little longer.

Anyway, it seems no one cares about the death of [Jupiter Supreme], and I'm not urging him either; we can take our time.

The ferryman sat down quietly. "Today I'm going to recite a passage from the scriptures. Which volume would you like to hear?"

Komatsu's eyes were fixed on the water. "Can't you see I'm busy? How could I have time to listen to the sermon?"

"Next time, next time."

The ferryman asked again, "What if it's a scripture that can help you fish?"

"Hmm?" Xiaosong's interest was instantly piqued. He looked at the ferryman curiously: "There are scriptures like this?"

"Of course!"

The ferryman said confidently, "What I'm about to impart is the ultimate teachings of the Three Pure Ones. Once you learn these scriptures, you'll never have trouble catching fish!"

"I want to learn this!"

Xiaosong immediately cast down his fishing rod, concentrating intently, ready to listen to the teachings.

"Then listen carefully!"

The ferryman cleared his throat and then began to chant scriptures.

"Chaos gives rise to Tai Chi, Tai Chi gives birth to two aunts, two aunts give birth to four uncles, four uncles give birth to eight cubs. The eight cubs want to drink milk, after drinking this milk they forget about the other cubs..."

What?!
What is being read?
The endless chaotic thoughts, chaotic principles, and chaotic causes, like demonic sounds piercing the ears, struck the focused Xiao Song as if he had been hit on the head, leaving the entire mouse feeling terrible.

Such chaotic scriptures caused turmoil throughout the long river of time.

Hua Hua Hua~~
The silvery-white light rippled, and fish appeared on the once calm water.

They heard the confusing scriptures, became disoriented and anxious, and in their haste, they all leaped out of the water.

Plop~~
A time-traveling fish jumped onto the boat.

Komatsu's eyes widened.

Then came two, three, and four.
One by one, fish leaped onto the ferryboat, and Xiaosong's expression changed from bewilderment to shock.

"Is this okay?"

"Why not?"

The ferryman smiled slightly when he saw a blue fish jump into the small boat.

With a gentle flick of his sleeve, he sent all the other fish back to the river of time, leaving only this blue fish behind.

"See? I told you so! This scripture can help with fishing!" The ferryman looked at Xiaosong, who was still in shock.

"You're blasting fish! This isn't fishing!"

Xiaosong snapped out of his daze but remained stubborn.

"You!"

The ferryman threw the blue fish into the pot.

A moment later, the fish in the pot transformed into a beam of light and flew out, changing into a handsome, innate deity.

"Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist!" Fuxi said with a smile, his attitude humble and polite.

"Are you sure you didn't return because you were tormented by the scriptures and had to perform self-salvation?" Xiaosong chimed in at the right moment.

That chaotic scripture was so terrifying that even the fish that had been swimming silently in the river of time were frightened into jumping out of the water to survive.

Xiao Song has reason to suspect that Fuxi was so frightened by the scriptures that his true spirit was directly awakened, which is why he jumped onto the boat to save the world.

"Thank you for your persistence, fellow Daoist."

Fuxi looked down at Xiaosong and said, "If you can bait your hook next time, it will surely increase your chances of catching fish."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Xiaosong was stunned for a moment.

"Alright, it's getting late. I need to go back for a meeting. Farewell, fellow Daoists." Fuxi nodded to the ferryman and turned to leave.

"What did he mean by what he just said?" Xiaosong asked the ferryman.

"It's obvious."

The ferryman's eyes flashed. "This Fellow Daoist Jupiter has not completely succumbed to the river of time, but has maintained a certain degree of clarity."

"Actually, we don't need to intervene; he can save himself on his own."

After hearing this, Xiaosong said dejectedly, "No wonder we can't catch these fish; they just won't bite!"

After listening to the ferryman's explanation, Xiaosong finally understood.

Fuxi's words just now clearly showed his disdain for him, saying that he hadn't even put any bait on the fish before fishing!

"So, whether it's fishing in the river of time or retrieving people, it's really a technical job."

The ferryman laughed, "See? With the Three Pure Ones' ultimate technique, no matter what kind of fish it is, it has to jump on. Hahaha."

"you're right!"

Xiaosong finally understood. He looked up at the ferryman and said earnestly, "You have to teach me your fish-frying technique properly. I don't believe I can mess it up again next time!"

~~~~
Taiwei Enclosure.

Fuxi's return was welcomed by the gods.

"Fellow Daoist Suixing, we've missed you so much!" When [Supreme Venerable Chenxing] Zulong saw Fuxi, tears welled up in his eyes.

"If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Suixing sacrificing his life to the heavens and uncovering the secrets of chaos, we truly wouldn't have been able to achieve victory so quickly!"

[The Supreme Lord of the Sun] Di Jun praised Fu Xi endlessly, "Fellow Daoist, you have truly made a great contribution to ending this great calamity of ferocious beasts!"

If Jupiter is not present, you can choose to ignore it and pretend that the god does not exist.

When Jupiter arrives, he will be the greatest contributor to Taiwei!

“Fellow Daoist Nuwa, please don’t forget to record this merit for Fellow Daoist Jupiter in the annals of history.”

[Supreme Master Jingyao] said with a smile, "We in Taiwei cannot let our meritorious officials go unnoticed."

Xuanqing nodded: "There's no need to write it down in detail. Just write it down based on the facts. Let future gods see what kind of role models our Taiwei Yuan deity is."

"The Heavenly Emperor has given his decree; how dare this humble subject disobey?"

After Nuwa agreed, she looked at Fuxi with a smile on her face the whole time.

This made Fuxi feel very uncomfortable.

"Ahem... everyone, let's discuss how to deal with Hongjun and the demons." Fuxi picked up the meeting minutes in front of his throne, glanced at them, and said:
"I think that if we want to deal with Hongjun, we must first discuss Hongjun separately from the immortals of the immortal path."

"What are your thoughts, fellow Daoist?" Xuanqing asked.

Fuxi said, "This is what I think. Judging from my recent interactions with the Immortal Path and Hongjun, although Hongjun is the ancestor of the Immortal Path, the relationship between the masters of the various lineages seems to be quite delicate."

"They appear to be in a subordinate relationship, but in reality they are all independent. If we could find an opportunity to kill Hongjun, the leader, the immortal path might fall apart."

[Chenxing Shangzun] Zulong stroked his chin: "Then this situation is very similar to our Taiwei Yuan."

"If we die, the Heavenly Emperor can save us; if the Heavenly Emperor dies, we will be the next Heavenly Emperor!"

"Chenxing, why are you speaking such blunt truths?" A flame suddenly lit up on the right side of the Ancestral Dragon's throne, and Yuanhuang, the [Yinghuo Supreme], arrived at Taiwei.

"Fellow Daoists, greetings!" Yuan Huang was full of energy and high spirits.

It looks like something very happy is going to happen.

After reading the meeting minutes, Yuan Huang said, "Our Taiwei Yuan follows a succession system, with the Heavenly Emperor taking turns to sit on the throne. This is certainly not for the purpose of splitting the organization, but for the purpose of unity."

"Think about it, the Heavenly Emperor has the greatest power and can rescue teammates in distress, but if the Heavenly Emperor dies, who will rescue them?"

"This would require the next Heavenly Emperor to ascend the throne and provide assistance to the former Emperor, which is reasonable and different from the Immortal Path."

At this point, Yuanhuang glanced at the Ancestral Dragon: "Could it be that some minister harbors disloyal intentions and, after succeeding to the Heavenly Emperor, plans to plot against the late Emperor?"

"No, no?"

"I didn't, I didn't, you're slandering me!" [Chenxing Shangzun] Zulong quickly tried to disclaim responsibility.

He said righteously, "As you all know, I, Chen Xing, only have a few hobbies and never do anything that is extremely immoral."

"I could never do something like murdering the current Heavenly Emperor and nailing his coffin shut."

"Fellow Daoist Chenxing, please don't get excited, please don't get excited."

Xuanqing smiled and said, "We all believe in you."

"The Heavenly Emperor is wise!" the Ancestral Dragon immediately exclaimed in support.

"However, Fellow Daoist Fuxi is right about one thing."

Xuanqing said, "Killing Hongjun and destroying the Immortal Path should be kept separate."

"We, Taiwei Yuan, killed Hongjun because he was vying with us for the Primordial Heavenly Dao."

“Our struggle against him is a struggle for the representation of Heaven.”

"But there's one thing we need to be aware of!" At this moment, Luo Hou, who had remained silent for a long time, spoke up:
"Our goal at Taiwei Yuan is to establish a Heavenly Court that governs the Primordial True Realm and all the immeasurable heavens."

"If Hongjun leads the Immortal Path to obstruct our path to unification, then the Immortal Path will also face its end!"

Luo Hou's words were sharp and undisguised, revealing his deep-seated murderous intent!
After the gods made their stance clear, they began to discuss how to deal with Hongjun.

"Hongjun was able to control the Heavenly Dao partly because of the cooperation of the Order Demon God. Could we somehow bring back the Order Demon God and then remove his control over the Heavenly Dao?"

[Taiyin Shangzun] Wangshu said that he had put forward an idea.

"That's probably quite difficult."

[Taiwei Shangxiang] Nuwa said, "Although the Heavenly Emperor's plan was involved in the emergence of the Primordial Heavenly Dao, the Order Demon God was also a key factor, and he eventually became a part of the Heavenly Dao."

"Leaving aside how to bring back the God of Order, the first thing to be 'injured' after His return is probably the Primordial Heavenly Dao."

"That makes sense."

[The Supreme Lord of the Sun] Di Jun said, "If we want to kill Hongjun, we need the right time, place, and people. Otherwise, if this old Taoist can't beat us, he can just turn around and run away."

"Then our battle will become a protracted war."

"Therefore, it is best to find an opportunity to make a final decision and not give Hongjun a second chance."

What do you all think of the power of the Void?

Zulong spoke up, saying, "In the Heavenly Emperor's plan, Guixu will become the burial place of all the gods."

"This place should possess the power of material decomposition, memory stripping, causal rupture, dissipation of the true spirit, confusion of true names, denial of existence, assimilation into nothingness, and so on."

"If Hongjun is suppressed within the Ruins after its completion, I think he will have no chance of turning the tables!"

"Hmm, that's a great idea!"

[Hidden Radiance Supreme] Rahu laughed, "It just so happens that we killed quite a few demon gods this time, so we can continue to modify the Void!"

"The artifact that destroys the demon god is quite impressive." Xuan Qing flipped his hand, and a millstone the size of a brick appeared, radiating an aura of destruction. Immediately afterward, the Slaughtering Holy Sword, the Banner of the Dead, the Book of Truth, and other artifacts appeared one by one.

Similarly, the divine bodies of the Chaos Gods were also brought along, lying across the void like floating continents.

"There are a lot of materials this time. If we want to transform Guixu, Jingyao and I won't be able to handle it all. We'll need everyone's help."

"no problem!"

The gods of Taiwei were all very enthusiastic.

This is the time to divide the spoils, who would complain about being tired?
Xuanqing also assigned tasks to Zhunti, Zhenyuanzi, Minghe, and others who were absent.

Leave can be taken, benefits will not be reduced, and work must be done.

"By the way, we should also mobilize the power of the masses."

After assigning the task of transforming Guixu, Xuanqing said, "We can launch some related games on the Star Network, such as 'War of Immortals and Demons' or 'Heavenly Frontline,' to simulate future wars and thus mobilize the initiative of the Star Gods."

“Speaking of which, I also remembered something.” Wang Shu looked at the person in the main seat.

Xuanqing asked, "What is it?"

"Your Majesty the Heavenly Emperor, shouldn't your masterpiece, 'The War of Gods and Demons,' be updated?"

A hint of anticipation flashed in Wang Shu's eyes: "The War of Gods and Demons hasn't had a new version update in a long time!"

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty, you absolutely must update 'The War of Gods and Demons'!"

The gods also remembered and urged for more updates.

This game, which simulates a war between gods and demons, is not only very attractive to beings below the Great Luo level, but also very important to supreme beings who are exploring the path ahead!
Xuanqing had hidden countless ingenious ideas within it, and the methods of enlightenment that were unraveled layer by layer captivated them several times.

The gods were eager to know what path the Great Luo would take next.

"I don't want to stop updating either, haven't I just saved the world?"

Xuan Qing smiled and said, "Then everyone go ahead and do your work. I'll go update the game."

"Go, go, go!"

The gods of Taiwei urged, "Leave your work to us."

~~~~~
Immortal Path, Jade Capital.

Just as the gods of Taiwei were discussing how to deal with Hongjun, the immortals also convened a grand assembly in Baiyujing.

Immortals from all the heavens and myriad realms once again came to Jade Capital Mountain, some to trade, some to joke.

"Barbecue master, two skewers of barbecue, please!"

A black-clad immortal strolled leisurely into the City of Heavens.

"What kind of skewers would you like, fellow Daoist? I have everything here—things that fly in the sky, swim in the water, and run on the ground!" Kunpeng said with a smile to the newcomer.

"Hmm? Fellow Daoist, don't you only sell Kun meat and Peng meat? How come you have so many new products?" Xuan Qing looked at the Kunpeng barbecue stall with a curious expression.

The ingredients for Kunpeng have changed dramatically. In addition to the basic set meals, there are also rare birds and animals, as well as flowers and plants.

Faced with Xuan Qing's question, Kunpeng smiled and said, "Even the heavens and earth change, so how could my little barbecue stall remain unchanged?"

"Come, come, Fellow Daoist Yuqing, have a taste! These are all specialties from my Xuanxian Universe!" Kunpeng warmly greeted Xuanqing, constantly sharing his new products with him.

Xuanqing casually took a few skewers of grilled mushrooms.

"It's pretty good, with a unique flavor!" Xuan Qing gave his honest opinion after tasting it.

Kunpeng beamed with joy upon hearing this: "I'm glad you like it, fellow Daoist. What you're eating is the Truth Mushroom. After you eat it, everything you say will be the truth!"

"Truth Mushroom?" Xuan Qing sensed it and confirmed that it indeed possessed the power of truth.

"Are there any Lie Mushrooms or Nonsense Mushrooms?"

"Of course!"

Kunpeng then took out two more skewers, one bright green and the other bright red.

"Besides these two, I also asked the [Complaining Immortal] to cultivate some Heart-Piercing Mushrooms. After eating them, all the words spoken are heart-piercing."

"That would be too offensive. We should be careful with this stuff." Xuan Qing said this, but immediately asked about the price of the Heart-Piercing Mushroom.

"What kind of relationship do we have? What's the price? I'll give it all to you!"

Kunpeng chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist, just don't forget to guide some customers to buy barbecue for me."

"no problem."

Xuanqing, holding a barbecue gift from Kunpeng, strolled around while eating.

"Hey, where's the tree-planting immortal?" Xuan Qing arrived at the stall where Dong Hua often appeared, and he only saw a lazy black bear and three enthusiastic immortals.

"It's the Jade Pure Celestial Venerable!"

The three immortals, Fu, Lu, and Shou, bowed to Xuanqing.

"Don't be so polite. Since we're all here, we're all fellow Daoists."

Xuan Qing casually handed out a few skewers of barbecue to the three immortals and asked, "Has the Tree Planting Immortal not yet revived?"

The Lucky Star Immortal shook his head: "No, the Emperor suffered a backlash from many demon gods before his death, and it would be extremely difficult to save him again."

Xuanqing said with sorrow, "Please accept my condolences."

"Alas, we grieve day and night while the Emperor is away. We truly hope that the Emperor can return soon," said the Immortal of Prosperity.

Xuanqing glanced at Lu Xing.

He just gave the other person a "lie mushroom".

"Actually, if you ask me, the Emperor shouldn't have become an Immortal Emperor. Now look what happened, everyone else is fine except for him. What bad luck!" The God of Longevity ate the Heart-Piercing Mushroom.

Donghua is dead; he has destroyed the soul.

This startled the God of Fortune and the God of Prosperity.

Fuxing: "Fellow Daoist, you are absolutely right!"

Lu Xing: "I wouldn't dare say that!"

"Let me speak!"

The God of Longevity continued, "Now that the Emperor is dead, we're all free to do whatever we want, so we can relax a bit. From this perspective, the Emperor's death was worthwhile."

"There's more."

The birthday celebrant's lips moved as if he had opened a floodgate, every sentence revolving around the Eastern Emperor, and every word aimed at piercing the heart.

From time to time, Fuxing also expressed his approval.

Lu Xing broke out in a cold sweat, and his words were full of defense of Emperor Donghua.

But he ate only "lie mushrooms," so you have to take that statement the wrong way.

Xuan Qing turned and left, blending into the crowd.

Finally, the black bear, who was sunbathing, couldn't stand it anymore.

It glanced at them twice, a look of doubt flashing in its eyes.

The Emperor is dead, but he's not gone forever. You're all too arrogant.

"Roar!" As Donghua's mount, the black bear felt it had to protect its master.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
The giant bear paw slammed out, knocking the three immortals to the ground.

"Brother Dao, you're so wicked." Daoist Yu Chen appeared, having witnessed the entire incident.

"This is their true nature being revealed, what does it have to do with me?"

Xuan Qing refused to take the blame and asked, "Want a skewer?"

“Okay.” Daoist Yu Chen readily accepted; he had eaten the Lie Mushroom.

"How does it taste?" Xuanqing asked.

Yu Chen replied, "It's quite good, with a unique flavor!"

"Really boring!"

Xuan Qing curled her lip. "Don't eliminate the power of lies. You should enjoy it. It's part of the meal."

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen suddenly understood.

He succumbed to the power of lies and tried saying, "Brother Dao, you are truly a gourmet."

Xuan Qing had a slight toothache: "I suddenly feel that lying isn't a good thing!"

"Brother Dao, I am speaking the truth, and this is genuine praise."

Yu Chen said sincerely, "My admiration for you is like a great river, flowing endlessly."

Xuanqing's facial muscles twitched.

He looked at Yu Chen and sighed, "Third brother, you've changed!"

"Nothing has changed. I am still me." Jade Emperor Daoist's eyes held a smile.
"What are you discussing?" Taishang asked, walking over from a distance with a string of candied hawthorns in his hand.

He looked at the two of them with a curious expression.

"Brother Dao seems rather unhappy?" Taishang looked at Xuanqing.

Xuan Qing shook his head: "No, I'm very happy."

Yu Chen laughed and said, "I suddenly feel that lying is not a good thing."

Xuanqing: "."

When a serious person starts acting unseriously, even Xuanqing finds it hard to handle.

"If you ask me, we only have one thing to say about the Taiwei Heavenly Emperor: go all out!" Suddenly, the voice of [Fuli Xianren] came from a teahouse.

"Yes, kill him as soon as possible. That way we can obtain complete Heavenly Dao authority, and we won't have to put up with Taiwei Yuan's nonsense."

This is the guidance of the "Stone Gambling Immortal".

"I heard that Taiwei Yuan has robbed the Dao Ancestor. This is intolerable! We must plunder them as well!"

This is the figure of Kazeki.

"Sooner or later, we immortals will take up our swords and ascend to heaven to denounce the evils."

This is the Underworld Emperor, Styx.

The three Qings exchanged a glance and went up to the teahouse.

As soon as they arrived, they saw a group of immortals sitting in a circle.

The four immortals who had shouted the loudest earlier quickly pretended to be nonchalant and lowered their heads to take a sip of tea.

“Fellow Daoists Sanqing have arrived at just the right time. We were just about to discuss how to destroy the Taiwei Enclosure.”

When the Immortal of the Upside Down saw the Three Pure Ones come upstairs, he was overjoyed.

"You three always have lots of ideas, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Yes, I have!"

Xuanqing said, "If we want to overthrow Taiwei Yuan, we must use the power of the gods!"

"Didn't our Immortal Path sign a non-aggression pact with the three primordial races?"

"We can form an alliance with them to jointly attack Taiwei!"

"To form an alliance with the three primordial races?" The immortals looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this feasible?" the Yin-Yang Taoist asked doubtfully.

Xuanqing asked with a smile, "How will you know it won't work if you don't try?"
