This is so dishonest!

Chapter 458: Plotting to Secure the Thrones of the Three Human Emperors!

The Great Wilderness, a human tribe.

The Demon Ancestor Rahu, who had become somewhat cunning, chased Haotian all over the mountains and fields, giving the little guy a good beating.

After Xuanqing completed the construction of the spiritual realm and returned to the Great Wilderness, he saw this scene and stood happily under the willow tree.

“Fellow Daoist, is it necessary for you two Supreme Beings to personally instruct the new Heavenly Emperor?” the willow tree at the village entrance spoke up.

Yangmei Daxian tactfully said, "Actually, I can keep an eye on things here, after all, Haotian is also a student of our Yujing Academy."

"As the dean, I have an obligation to teach him!"

As Hongjun's best partner, Yang Mei had actually discovered Haotian's problem long ago.

However, considering that they were all founders of the Immortal Path and had worked together for countless years, Yang Mei kindly did not report him to the Heavenly Path Committee.

Even after handing over the immortal legacy to the Three Pure Ones, he did not reveal any information about Haotian.

After meeting Haotian's reincarnation, Yang Mei kept an eye on him, intending to protect her old friend and record his dark history.

Nine generations have passed since then.

In these nine lifetimes, Haotian has been reincarnated in different worlds.

He might be a prince of a kingdom, an immortal, a bird in the sky, or a beast on the ground.
This is the tenth generation.

Yang Mei originally planned to participate in Haotian's reincarnation life herself.

As a result, Rahu arrived.

Then, Xuanqing arrived.

Considering their grudges with Hongjun, Yang Mei felt that Haotian's life was destined to be turbulent.

"Fellow Daoist, don't overthink it. Neither Fellow Daoist Luo Hou nor I have any ill intentions."

Xuanqing looked at Yangmei the Great Immortal with a smile and said, "The new Heavenly Emperor is concerned with the well-being of the Three Realms and countless heavens in the primordial world."

"It is our duty to come and oversee the process."

"All of this is for Haotian!"

"I hope so," Yang Mei said, half believing and half doubting.

He actually preferred to believe that Xuan Qing was retaliating for what happened to the Taixu Kingdom back then.

At that time, Hongjun and Yangmei "coincidentally" had Dao Seed incarnations in the Taixu World, and by "fortuitous chance" they encountered the reincarnation of Xuanqing.

So the two immortals transformed into Emperor Taixu and Grand Preceptor Taixu respectively, and carefully nurtured [Axuan].

Now, three hundred yuan will go east of the river, and three hundred yuan will go west of the river.

Xuanqing returned this cause and effect.

Yang Mei could only be thankful that she hadn't been robbed, otherwise she would have had to share in the karma.

"Master, Master, if you don't save me, I'm going to be beaten to death by the clan chief!"

Haotian roared and charged over like a small whirlwind.

He first circled the tree three times to the left and three times to the right.

Then, revealing eight big white teeth, she shouted in a crisp voice.

"Of all the directions, my master is the most beautiful!"

In an instant, the green clouds blazed brightly, and the misty light shimmered with countless auspicious rays.

A deity appeared.

Yang Mei pinched a branch in her hand, which emitted a precious light like a divine chain of order, and lashed it out at Haotian.

Snapped!
"Ow~"

A crisp sound followed by a howl.

The little baby covered his bottom and jumped around.

Seeing Yang Mei raise her hand again, Haotian was so frightened that he cried out repeatedly.

"Master, I was wrong. I will no longer chant spells randomly!"

Unfortunately, Yang Mei didn't stop. She slapped Haotian twice before finally giving up.

"Hey, it hurts!"

Haotian was in pain and lay on the stone bench groaning.

Yang Mei shook her head and sat down to the side.

"Fellow Daoist, please sit down as well." Yang Mei looked at the void beside him.

Xuanqing stepped into reality and appeared before Haotian.

"Huh? Who are you?" Haotian stared with wide eyes, looking up at Xuanqing who had suddenly appeared.

He was dressed in black robes, with black hair like a waterfall, eyebrows shaped like swords, and eyes as bright as stars. He always had an elegant smile on his face.

"I am a friend of your master."

His voice was gentle and calming.

Haotian felt relieved and thought that Xuanqing must be a good person.

"Master's friend, so that must be Senior?" Haotian asked with a smile.

He bowed formally and said, "Senior, it's our first meeting. Please forgive me if I have been impolite."

Xuanqing smiled and said, "Young friend, you are not only lively, but also so well-behaved. It's rare to find someone like you."

"So you were here the whole time, senior."

Haotian felt a little embarrassed when he thought about how he had been chased and jumped around. He scratched the back of his head and a shy expression appeared on his face.

Yang Mei was extremely surprised to see Haotian being so respectful to Xuan Qing.

“I have some scriptures here that are very suitable for you, so I'll give them to you as a gift.”

Then, Xuanqing reached out and touched Haotian's forehead.

Haotian did not dodge.

"The Great Luo Immortal Scripture, the Thunder Emperor's Book, and the Mysterious Nurturing Demon Embryo Scripture."

Haotian was overjoyed to have obtained several volumes of Daoist scriptures he had never seen before.

His gaze towards Xuan Qing was much warmer.

"Thank you, senior!" Haotian looked at Xuanqing with much more enthusiasm, calling him senior repeatedly.

Then, Haotian rummaged through the Green Leaf Space and pulled out a handful of pitch-black spikes. They looked heavy, there were dozens of them, each a foot long, and they didn't look like any kind of metal.

"Master, could you help me refine these into magical treasures? They'd be quite handy as hand spikes. If that doesn't work, I'll make them into arrows!" Haotian shamelessly begged.

Yang Mei noticed the clean break at the tip of the stinger and was somewhat surprised: "Is this the stinger of a different species of bee?"

Haotian's eyes brightened slightly, and he said, "Master has a discerning eye. This really was obtained from a beehive. I've been chased by these mountain bees for ages last time, and I've been remembering it ever since. I taught them a lesson on the way here."

"But don't worry, Master, I didn't go too far."

“My people said that bees would die if their stingers were pulled out directly. I am kind-hearted, so I didn’t pull them out directly. Instead, I used a sharp pair of scissors to cut off their stingers one by one.”

"It wasn't completely taken; a little bit was left!"

Haotian looked at his teacher with a proud expression, waiting for praise.

Little did he know that Yang Mei's gaze towards him was incredibly complex.

You cut off the stinger of an entire bee colony, and you call that kindness?

“You don’t need so many daggers. Keep one, and refine the rest into arrows. Seven arrows per set, just enough for one supernatural power.”

Yang Mei waved her hand, putting away all the sharp spikes.

With a flick of his hand, three jade cups appeared.

He plucked a few leaves from the treetop and put them into the cup, about to draw the spiritual spring, when Haotian suddenly started shouting.

"Master, wait!"

Yang Mei paused and looked at him.

Haotian chuckled and took out a can of beast milk from the Green Leaf Space.

"How about we use this to make tea? Hmm... this is called... milk tea! How does it sound? It's pretty good, isn't it!"

"Milk tea?" Xuan Qing whispered from the side, seemingly with a hint of a smile.

Just how much do they love animal milk?!

"Mmm, it's milk tea!" Haotian pushed the milk can to his master and thoughtfully gave one to Xuanqing as well.

Yang Mei hesitated for a moment, but still used animal milk to make him a milk tea, and specially used a large bowl.

"Give!"

"Master is so good!"

Haotian was overjoyed and showered Yang Mei with praise, his words filled with genuine emotion.

Yang Mei heard this and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Goojigji!"

Haotian held the large bowl and savored the milk tea, a unique delicacy in the Great Wilderness.

After finishing his drink, he didn't forget to let out a satisfying burp.

He scooped up a green leaf from the bottom of the bowl, then put it in his mouth and chewed it.

Suddenly, he stopped.

He quickly plucked half a leaf from his mouth, looked at Yang Mei, then at the big tree behind him, his face full of shock.

"Master, I've discovered something big!"

"What's wrong?" Yang Mei asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you say that this tree is your true form?" The little baby pointed at the Tree of Life with an exaggerated expression.

"Yes, I did say that." Yang Mei nodded slightly, still calm. She didn't understand what Haotian was trying to say.

Haotian was very excited. He said, "Then... then Master, every time you use leaves to make tea for me, does that count as self-harm?"

Yang Mei: "..."

Xuan Qing: "..."

He also felt something was off, so he didn't drink it.

Yang Mei fell silent. Behind her, the willow tree, its leaves glistening, seemed to be petrified along with her, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

"Master, are you alright?" Haotian asked cautiously, lying on the stone bench, rubbing his bottom.

Yang Mei said in a low voice, "You've grown too fast. The Great Wilderness is no longer suitable for you. It just so happens that a major event has recently occurred. I'll send you there to hone your skills!"

"Master, can I refuse?" Haotian felt guilty and uneasy.

"No!" Yang Mei's words were concise and decisive, directly rejecting him.

"Fellow!"

Yang Mei looked at Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing nodded slightly. Before Hao Tian could react, he waved his hand and sent him into the Spirit Realm.

Meanwhile, in the endless, vast and boundless myriad realms...

Each of them, with different identities and backgrounds, was a chosen one of destiny, and through various coincidences, they all stepped into the mysterious portal leading to the spirit world.

In a vast world of immortals and heroes filled with the true meaning of swordsmanship, a white-clad youth, hailed as the "Number One Swordsman of All Time," pulls out a rusty ancient sword from an ancient sword tomb.

The moment he infused his sword intent into the ancient sword, instead of unleashing unparalleled sharpness, a spatial rift filled with endless spiritual energy and leading to an unknown world was opened on the blade.

In a wild and untamed universe, a tribal youth born with the ability to control all beasts is chasing after a legendary "Nine-Colored Deer".

When he finally chased the nine-colored deer to an ancient altar, a seven-colored divine light suddenly emanated from the deer, engulfing him in a completely new and vibrant world.

In a cyber city where technology and mythology coexist, a girl hailed as the "strongest hacker" successfully breaches the ultimate firewall known as the "Heavenly Brain." What she sees is not the cold, hard data core.

Instead, it is a "hidden world" filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, like a fairyland, and brimming with endless possibilities.

The King of Fighters in the martial arts universe, the saintess of the magic world, the investigator of the bizarre world, the savior of the wasteland world...

At this moment, countless geniuses from different worlds, civilizations, and races seemed to be summoned by some irresistible call from their "roots".

Whether by choice or by force, they crossed the barriers of the world and entered the spirit world!

"Tsk tsk tsk, you two are not gentle at all with children." Demon Ancestor Rahu walked over.

Yang Mei glanced at the other person's strong and powerful physique and pursed her lips slightly.

"Fellow Daoist is so gentle."

"of course."

Rahu felt good about himself.

He didn't mind that the tea was made with willow leaves; he simply took a cup and began to savor it.

"Fellow Daoist, I still want to ask, what state are you in right now?"

Xuanqing asked curiously, "The Three Gods, you, and your deceased and reincarnated fiancée, Sacty?"

"..." Luo Hou's hand froze in mid-air for a moment.

He then continued to drink his tea in silence without replying.

"Actually, I'm quite curious too." Yangmei the Immortal also stared at Rahu.

He decided to go to the Brahma universe on a whim.

Later, Yang Mei discovered some clues about the Three-Phase God.

However, he did not investigate further.

Since I'm just a traveler, sometimes it's best not to have too much of a thirst for knowledge.

What if I accidentally violate someone's taboo?
Capsizing the boat is a minor matter, but delaying our travels through the heavens would be a much bigger problem.

Now, Luo Hou is sitting right in front of him, and the question has been raised by Xuan Qing.

Yang Mei said she doesn't mind getting a big piece of gossip at this time.

"It's nothing really." Luo Hou felt uncomfortable being stared at by his two fellow Daoists.

Finally, he spoke up to explain. "Let's talk about the Three Gods first. Just like Hongjun and Fellow Daoist Yangmei and Fellow Daoist Yinyang have a close relationship, they were acquainted as early as the Chaos Era."

"I did have some friends during the chaotic era."

"For example, fellow practitioners of life."

“Indeed.” Yang Mei nodded and echoed her.

In this chaotic era, who doesn't have a few close friends?

Rahu is a righteous demon god, but he has a hostile relationship with demon gods such as the Destruction Demon God and the Death Demon God.

However, he has a good relationship with the God of Life. (See Chapter 254 for details)
"During this return, I accidentally reconnected with my fellow Daoist, Life."

With a hint of reminiscence, Rahu said, "At that time, He and the Creation Demon God were trying to learn the Great Dao of Pangu and planned to create a new universe to deduce the Dao of Enlightenment."

"After the three of us met and had a discussion, we hit it off immediately and decided to join forces to create a new world."

"The friend of life transformed into the guardian deity Vishnu, and the friend of creation transformed into the creator deity Brahma."

"My demonic path has reached perfection, so I simply used the Black Lotus of Annihilation as my foundation to cultivate the [Destruction Dao Fruit], and transformed into the god of destruction [Shiva]."

“Oh, so Shiva is your embodiment of destruction.” Xuanqing nodded.

Once people reach the Taiyi Daluo level, they will try to cultivate other paths as well, and bring them to perfection.

Rahu has returned from the void, having already attained the first proof of the Great Dao.

Then, cultivating the [Destruction Dao Fruit], taking control of the universe's annihilation, accumulating immeasurable merit, and achieving the second proof of the Great Dao would be a very simple matter.

"What about the goddess Sakti?" Xuanqing and Yangmei pressed.

"Don't worry!"

Rahu was actually very reluctant to say it.

"Later, just as we were about to create the world, Fellow Daoist Jieyin unexpectedly broke in."

"There's something about being guided?" Yang Mei asked in surprise.

As expected of a top-tier deity in the primordial world, you can bump into them everywhere.

"Yes, it's the Vedas, the true Dharma of the Brahma universe. He wrote that."

After much back and forth, Rahu finally brought up Sakti.

"Because my power among the three gods was too great, the universe's evolution encountered a bottleneck, so I manifested the part of myself that represents 'yin' to promote the evolution of the world."

"At the same time, it is also to prepare for the three proofs of the Great Dao."

"So you really intend to get together?" Xuanqing asked bluntly.

Rahu's expression was complicated.

"Actually, you can just think of this as the two energies of Yin and Yang."

“When the time is right, this part of the ‘yin’ power will be withdrawn.”

"Just like the Doumu Yuanjun you altered, which represents the primordial 'yin'."

Luo Hou changed the subject and looked at Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing was clearly taken aback.

He hadn't expected the fire to spread to him.

At this moment, Yangmei the Immortal looked at Xuanqing with shining eyes.

He hadn't expected such a big surprise.

[Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!]

~~~~~
The East Sea rose with azure waves, and a roar of a bull shook the heavens. Daoist Yu Chen rode the Kui Bull out of Jin'ao Island and ascended straight to the Thirty-Third Heaven.

On the Western Spirit Mountain, lotuses bloom on the flat ground. Two saints of the Western Sect stepped on pure lotuses, free from dust and impurity, and ascended directly to the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Kunlun white cranes lined up to clear the way, and with a dragon's roar, the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable arrived.

A blue ox rises from the clouds, and the sage of the Great Purity and Morality rides a blue ox eastward.

Purple clouds rise from the east for 30,000 miles, and pure air fills the universe. Countless golden lamps shine brightly, and exotic lotus flowers bloom in the west.

Of the Three Purifications, only Yu Chen Daojun is the true self; the other two are incarnations.

It was Yu Chen who used the power of the [True Realm of the Great Dao] to materialize his two elder brothers.

He can also transform one wisp of Qi into three pure ones.

The five saints bowed and paid their respects.

Suddenly, a heavenly sound was heard.

The five saints raised their heads.

The colorful clouds were as beautiful and magnificent as brocade and satin.

Taiqing Daode Tianzun laughed and said, "Fellow Daoist Nuwa has arrived."

The saints nodded.

Since creation descended from the heavens, Nuwa descended upon the primordial wilderness, bringing forth a myriad of wonders.

Zhunti looked at Nuwa carefully and suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, you have made further progress in the Great Dao. Congratulations!"

The saints nodded: "Congratulations!"

"Fellow Daoists, please stop teasing me. Everyone has made progress. How can I be the only one making progress in the Great Dao?" Nuwa smiled and bowed.

Nuwa cultivated the Way of Creation, and mending the sky and saving the world was her duty.

The thoughts of countless beings throughout the myriad realms, illuminating their sacred hearts, can also promote the continuous perfection of the [Human Immortal Path Fruit], leading it towards eternity.

She was like that, and so are all the saints.

After exchanging pleasantries, the sages got down to business.

[Taiqing Daode Tianzun] spoke first, revealing a worried expression.

"The Heavenly Emperor is about to return to his throne, and the great era of humanity will begin. I wonder when Fellow Daoist Fuxi will reincarnate?"

Yu Chen Daojun also looked at Nuwa, waiting for her reply.

The Three Pure Ones have a pact with the siblings Fuxi and Nuwa.

Therefore, Fuxi's reincarnation is not just Fuxi's own affair.

Now that the great era of humanity is about to arrive, if Fuxi does not reincarnate, will humanity still be able to prosper?
Besides, aren't you worried about your own brother?

The five saints looked at Nuwa together, and Nuwa remained calm.

She's really not in a hurry.

Whether you arrive early or late, the spots are always there; who can take them?
However, since the Five Saints had specifically invited her to discuss this matter, she couldn't refuse them, so she replied, "Since you fellow Daoists are so anxious, then I will help you resolve your worries."

As soon as he finished speaking, his sleeves suddenly rose, and a beam of red light descended into the netherworld.

Under the astonished gaze of Meng Po, the incarnation of Meng Wuyou, a bowl of soup was swept up by a red light and then cast into the six realms of reincarnation.

The two Western Saints were stunned.

"Are we just going to leave the underground passage and the Underworld Emperor like this?"

"We should follow the normal procedures!"

Because of the existence of the Underworld Emperor, the Underworld has always maintained a high degree of independence.

To be reincarnated, everyone must go through the normal process.

This is the first time I've seen the Six Paths of Reincarnation open up to the gods.

Won't the newly appointed ruler of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, Fellow Daoist Pingxin, even offer a symbolic act of obstruction?
What they didn't know was that Fuxi and Nuwa had made a deal with the underworld long ago.

It's normal to give them the green light.

At this moment, Jieyin asked, "It seems that the supreme treasure of humanity, the Kongtong Seal, is in your possession, fellow Daoist?"

Nuwa raised her eyebrows slightly, seemingly sensing Jieyin's thoughts, and deliberately said, "The Kongtong Seal was obtained by my elder brother on the Treasure Distribution Cliff. Now I am keeping it safe on his behalf. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"

Seeing this, Zhunti continued, "The Kongtong Seal is related to the highest position in human society, therefore..."

"So you want to take away the Kongtong Seal?"

Nuwa frowned, and a miniature version of the Heavenly Blade appeared between her fingers. She turned her jade fingers and began to play with it.

Jieyin and Zhunti's lips twitched.

They really wanted to say, "You're cultivating the [Robbery Path] yourself, so you can't see everyone as a potential robber!"

The Jade Emperor Daoist standing to the side smiled.

He and his two brothers, in their avatars, remained silent, watching the performance unfold before them.

Zhunti could only bite the bullet and say, "Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand. What we meant was..."

"All five together?"

Nuwa smiled enigmatically.

Zhunti almost choked to death.

Can't people just talk normally anymore?!
The two Western Saints originally intended to use the excuse of sharing a position to get the Kongtong Seal for free.

Then we'll share some of the benefits with our disciples.

Nuwa now appears to have consumed the Yin-Yang Dao Fruit, but her resolute attitude clearly shows that she has seen through their intentions and does not want them to benefit from it for free.

Then we'll have to find another solution.

Zhunti looked at Jie Yin.

A moment of anguish crossed Jieyin's face, and he bowed to Nuwa in place of Zhunti.

"Borrow treasure!"

He speaks very quickly and concisely, as if afraid of being interrupted.

"How to borrow it?"

Nuwa's delicate eyebrows finally relaxed.

Jieyin said, "My junior brother and I have jointly calculated that in this great age of humanity, three holy emperors and five great emperors will emerge. All the positions of these eight directions depend on this treasure. Therefore, we hope that you, fellow Daoist, can lend this item at that time to fulfill the destiny of our five religions."

As a result, the great sect of the Three Pure Ones was also brought up along.

There were even demonic cults.

The power of the demon cult is now in Nuwa's hands.

Lord Yu Chen raised an eyebrow and glanced at him.

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?"

A subtle divine light flashed in Nuwa's eyes.

She looked at the Supreme Celestial Venerable of the Great Purity and said, "Of the eight rank of lords, how do you four religions intend to divide them?"

Nuwa deliberately ignored the demon cult.

It seems they don't want it to get involved in the grand scheme of things.

[Taiqing Daode Tianzun] smiled slightly.

"Fellow Daoist, you jest. How could we possibly discuss the division of spoils without your knowledge?"

"Moreover, the candidates for the eight positions of honor should be from the human realm, from the human race. We sages, who uphold the Way of Heaven, should not interfere, but only seek the assistance of one or two great emperors and the power of bestowing titles."

"Sure?"

Nuwa asked.

"That's true!"

The Guide Daoist laughed and said, "As you know, assisting the Holy Emperor and the Great Emperor in establishing their positions and presiding over the investiture ceremony will bring immense merit and fortune, but this is of little use to the Holy Emperor."

"However, there are quite a few disciples among us and your fellow Daoist's demonic sect who need to be trained."

Nuwa neither confirmed nor denied this, but said, "The Kongtong Seal can be borrowed!"

The two emperors were overjoyed.

"but……"

Nuwa looked at them and said, "You need to promise me two things."

The five sages exchanged a glance, then cupped their hands in greeting: "Fellow Daoist, please speak!"

Nuwa nodded: "First, the emperor and ruler of humanity should be supported by all three realms and the ten directions."

Upon hearing this, the five sages were all taken aback and looked at Nuwa.

With the joint efforts of the three realms and the support of all directions.

Are you sure you're referring to the human realm's karmic position and not the heavenly emperor's karmic position?
Lord Yu Chen pondered.

The throne of the Human Emperor belongs to Fellow Daoist Fuxi.

According to the rules of Taiwei Enclosure, the next Heavenly Emperor will be Fuxi. This agreement of "revered by all three realms and supported by all ten directions" makes sense when applied to Fuxi.

[But she wants all the emperors and rulers of humanity to have this influence. Even if we agree, the gods won't. What's the point of doing this?]

Both Jieyin and Zhunti were puzzled by this.

They remained silent, each internally speculating.

"Just tell me if you agree or not!"

Seeing their troubled expressions, Nuwa smiled slightly and urged them on.

At this moment, the Jade Pure Primordial Heavenly Venerable, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

"It's a small problem, we agree."

Xuanqing returned, smiling as he looked at Nuwa.

In that instant, Nuwa felt as if her thoughts had been read.

[This feels like the divination has been performed.] Nuwa thought to herself.

As the god in charge of divination in the primordial world, she trusted her intuition.

They've definitely opened fire!
