This is so dishonest!

Chapter 483 Yu Chen's Secret Plot to Suppress His Elder Brother

Fuxi is Taihao.

This astonishing fact is something that many self-proclaimed holy beings who claim to know the secrets of the primordial world never imagined.

After Fuxi performed the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, thus completing his meritorious deeds.

The Azure Emperor Taihao, who symbolized the burgeoning energy of the East, ascended directly to the Nine Heavens, established the Eastern Heavenly Realm, and became one of the Five Heavenly Emperors.

This event caught many deities, who had been silently observing, completely off guard.

In an instant, the entire primordial world, whether in the celestial palaces above the nine heavens or in the caves of the four seas and eight wastelands, was stirred up by this.

The reactions of the various immortals and powerful beings were also quite different.

Yes, it was genuine joy.

They witnessed the rise of humanity and the arrival of a more prosperous and orderly prehistoric world.

Some felt genuinely exhilarated.

They were thrilled that yet another fellow Daoist had attained enlightenment and was at the forefront of the Great Dao, and that there would be new successful experiences to learn from in the future!

Some fell into a long silence.

They were pondering the profound impact that the Human Emperor's ascension to heaven would have on the future landscape of the entire prehistoric world.

Even more so, some people furrowed their brows tightly.

They are worried that this newly crowned Eastern Heavenly Emperor might disrupt the existing power balance, thereby triggering a new round of conflict and turmoil.

Just like the chaos caused by the witches and demons during the reign of the second Heavenly Emperor.

However, whatever these holy and powerful beings may think.

At the summit of Mount Tai, the supreme reward bestowed by Heaven, Earth, and Humanity continues.

The vast and boundless golden clouds of merit were seen continuously condensing and compressing in the void.

Ultimately, it transformed into a vast, tangible sea of ​​clouds.

Immediately afterwards, a rain of merit, nourishing all things and cleansing the soul, fell gently from the sea of ​​clouds.

This merit does not come from the Heavenly Dao alone, but from the joint reward of the three fundamental wills of Heaven, Earth, and Man in the primordial world!
Its weight and significance are unprecedented!
Faced with this immeasurable merit, enough to drive any Great Luo Golden Immortal mad.

Fuxi, who was the greatest contributor to this event, only symbolically took 20% of it.

He simply stretched out his hand and gently beckoned.

The two golden rays of virtue, as if guided by a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, all converged into his palm.

Before countless living beings, he used these two merits as material and his own Great Dao as fire.

On the spot, two supreme artifacts filled with the charm of teaching and order were forged.

One symbolizes the harmony of the Way of Heaven, and its name is "Guide".

One symbolizes the squareness of the earth, and its name is "Ju".

"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished."

The Emperor holds the compass and ruler, which correspond to the will of Heaven above and the geography below.

Meanwhile, Grand Master Xuandu, who was standing to the side, also received his own reward.

A full ten percent of his immense merit transformed into a golden pillar of light, falling from the sea of ​​clouds and merging entirely into his body.

This is the reward he deserves for his wisdom and dedication in assisting Fuxi in governing the human world during this great undertaking of humanity.

Then, the golden cloud of merit surged violently once more.

The amount of golden light of merit that fell this time was extremely large, accounting for a full 40% of the total!
These four virtues transformed into countless fine golden rays, falling precisely on the human sages and meritorious officials of all races who had followed Fuxi and fought for the great cause of humanity, just like sweet rain.

It is because of them, in their respective fields, that the Holy Emperor has helped govern the world and implement new policies, which has led to the glory and prosperity of today's great human society.

Their achievements are outstanding and unparalleled, witnessed by heaven and earth!
Among these meritorious individuals who received awards.

Aside from the human sages who devoted themselves to the cause, the dragons, who had always actively responded to Fuxi's call, received even more merit.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Who can blame them when the dragon race has such keen insight and acts so quickly?
Not only did they place their bets early, but they also contributed the most effort in the subsequent collaborations.

At this moment, the dragon gods who had been ordered to come to the primordial land to control the clouds and rain and manage the waters were all grinning from ear to ear.

Their joyful dragon roars echoed from the rivers, lakes, and marshes of the Yangtze, Huai, and Ji rivers.

"Hahaha! Our sovereign has truly chosen an excellent site for the Fengshan ceremony!"

"That's right! Mount Tai is located in the human realm, connecting the celestial palaces of the Nine Heavens above and the netherworld of the Nine Netherworlds below. It is truly a place where the three realms meet!"

"The achievements of our dragon race are clearly seen by the will of the Three Realms!"

"It was worth it for our dragon clan to personally intervene and spare no effort to save the world!"

However, this was in the face of the complacency and pride of these younger generation of dragon gods.

Those dragon sovereigns who, though outwardly disingenuous, resided in the Dragon Palaces of the Four Seas, immediately sent them a stern warning via telepathy:

"What nonsense are you spouting! What do you mean by 'our dragon race will step in to uphold justice and restore order to the world'?"

"You must always remember this!"

"That was clearly due to the effective leadership of the Human Emperor and his many humane colleagues!"

"It is thanks to the concerted efforts and joint struggle of countless beings that we have achieved this hard-won peaceful and prosperous era today!"

"We dragons are merely fulfilling our duties, routinely performing our tasks of controlling clouds and rain, harmonizing yin and yang, and managing waterways..."

"Could this be considered a great achievement?"

Sing the song that suits the mountain you're on.

Times have changed.

We are no longer in the era of racial rivalry where each race had to act ostentatiously and demonstrate its power.

Today, we live in a peaceful era where all races work together to govern the ancient world, emphasizing peace, stability, and harmonious development.

Under the leadership of Ao Guang and the other four Dragon Kings, the Dragon Clan had long since changed its development strategy.

They said: What storms haven't we dragons seen?

But let's not dwell on past glories.

Now, we dragons just want to follow the trend of the times, develop peacefully and steadily.

If a suitable opportunity arises, then come out and make a splash, let your presence be known, and earn some good karma.

In the void, the vast golden clouds of merit continued to condense.

Ultimately, the remaining three merits did not descend in a concentrated manner.

Instead, they transformed into countless tiny specks of light, like dandelion seeds, scattering throughout the world.

This is a reward for countless living beings.

Just as those dragon supreme beings said.

All living beings, as direct participants and witnesses of this era, are the most indispensable part of building this great human world.

People are adapting to the times and bravely pursuing their dreams.

Together, we are moving towards a brighter future.

This is in itself a result of the efforts of all living beings.

And on the viewing platform of this grand Fengshan ceremony.

Those celestial beings and deities who came to witness the ceremony also received a small share of the golden light of merit, more or less.

Even if it's just a tiny, insignificant little thing.

That was enough to make everyone smile.

Lingshan Sacred Realm.

Beside the Eight Treasures Merit Pool, beneath the ancient Bodhi tree.

The two saints, Jieyin and Zhunti, were bathed in Buddhist light and exuded a profound sense of Zen.

Their gazes pierced through endless time and space, taking in all the changes that occurred in the human world.

As the Sage of Guidance looked upon the vibrant life of the great human world and the immeasurable merits of Fuxi when he attained enlightenment, a deep worry appeared on his face, which was always filled with sorrow.

He sighed softly and said slowly to Zhunti beside him:
“Junior brother, now, the Supreme Daoist and the Fuxi Daoist are in perfect harmony, and together they have delivered such a perfect answer.”

"I suddenly feel a lot of pressure!"

Fuxi was the first emperor and sage ruler of this great human world.

With his intervention, he directly elevated the development level of the entire human world to an unprecedented height.

This undoubtedly laid an incredibly solid foundation for the several humanitarian leaders who would succeed to the throne later.

But at the same time, it also invisibly increased the intensity for all successors.

It is foreseeable that the next leader of humanity, supported by the two great esoteric sects, Jiejiao and Chanjiao, will surely work hard and create new glories.

So, when it comes to the fourth generation of the humanistic leader they are assisting in the Western Church, if they cannot produce achievements comparable to his, then they will really have to risk their lives.

Upon hearing this, the Sage Zhunti revealed a smile full of wisdom and confidence.

He gently shook his head and softly comforted her:

"Senior brother, why should you worry about this?"

"The so-called number of the Great Way begins with one, is established at three, is completed at five, flourishes at seven, and reaches its peak at nine."

"In my opinion, the order of humanity could not possibly have gone wrong with the fourth sovereign."

"Now, all we need to do is sit here on this sacred mountain and quietly watch how our fellow Daoists Shangqing and Yuqing continue the glory of this great human world."

"When it's our turn, simply copying the model will be a piece of cake, won't it?"

After hearing this, the pressure on the guiding saint's heart was relieved a little.

But he still sighed softly.

“Junior brother, it’s not that I’m worried we won’t do a good job.”

"Brother, I'm just worried that we won't do a good enough job!"

His eyes revealed boundless compassion.

"If we don't do a good enough job, then we will have failed the people and their high expectations of our Western Religion!"

Upon hearing this, the Sage Zhunti burst into laughter.

"Senior brother, what's so difficult about this?"

He stretched out his hand, pointing to the vast and boundless human realm, his eyes gleaming with a light called "Great Aspiration".

"At that time, I, your junior brother, can personally go and experience the mortal world!"

Upon hearing this, the Sage who guided the pilgrim was greatly surprised.

"This...this won't do."

"Why won't this work?"

The sage Zhunti smiled as he held up a flower, his gaze deep as he looked toward the distant eastern land.

"In the past, the mysterious leader of the Eastern Loose Cultivator Alliance, 'Taihao,' was able to transform into the human realm, become Fuxi, and create such a glorious era!"

"Then I, as the leader of the Western Loose Cultivator Alliance, can also ride the great wave into the world to save countless sentient beings!"

Saint Zhunti turned his head to look at Jieyin, his voice becoming extremely solemn and dignified.

"Moreover, all the disciples of my Western Religion uphold the great vow of 'saving all sentient beings'."

"After they have escaped their own sea of ​​suffering and attained Buddhahood, they will ascend to the lotus throne and face the masses who are still sinking in the sea of ​​suffering to save them from their suffering."

"As the leader of the Western Religion, it is only right and proper for me to personally descend to the mortal realm to practice the core Mahayana Buddhism of my Western Religion!" After hearing Zhunti's words, all the worries on the face of the Sage of Assistance vanished at this moment.

He beamed, clasped his hands together, and solemnly bowed to Zhunti.

"Amitabha, well done, well done!"

The grand Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai, a spectacle unprecedented in history, finally came to a successful conclusion in an atmosphere of peace and joy.

After receiving the worship of all races and the blessings of heaven and earth, Emperor Fuxi returned to the capital of the human race, Chendu.

In the long years to come.

He basically adhered to the philosophy of "governing by doing nothing".

He generously bestowed upon the supreme power of the human emperor upon those virtuous and talented human sages who had passed numerous trials, as well as those meritorious officials of all races who had a deep alliance with the human race.

He gave them full trust and autonomy, allowing them to jointly manage this vast and prosperous humanitarian world.

He himself gradually withdrew from daily government affairs.

Only occasionally, on a whim, would he ride in a Thunder chariot to travel and explore the world.

Of course, he had an even more important purpose.

That is, to see if we can find a destined person in this vast sea of ​​people to inherit the throne.

If it's on his way, he'll also climb Shouyang Mountain to find the tranquil and inactive leader of the Human Sect, the Sage Taiqing, to have some tea and play chess together.

In any case, the Sage Taiqing always seemed very happy about Fuxi's arrival.

After all, Fuxi was the Holy Emperor of Humanity, whom they had helped to establish!

On this day, Fuxi, as usual, came to the Bajing Palace on Shouyang Mountain to play chess with the Taiqing Sage.

The two still used the Tai Chi diagram, which could evolve into all things in the universe, as their chessboard.

Using the yin and yang energies that represent the origin of the universe as chess pieces, they are engaged in a mysterious and silent game.

Inside the palace, a purple mist filled the air, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere.

"Fellow."

Fuxi held a white chess piece formed from yang energy and gently placed it on a key star position.

He asked, seemingly casually:
"What do you think of me leaving a Green Emperor Palace atop Mount Tai in the East?"

"Why bother asking me about such a trivial matter?"

The Supreme Being wore a faint, all-knowing smile.

The black chess piece in his hand, formed from yin energy, arrived late and cleverly neutralized Fuxi's attack.

He raised his head, his eyes, which seemed to hold boundless wisdom, looking at Fuxi, and slowly said:

"You are the Holy Emperor of Humanity, whose merits have been perfected."

"Wouldn't it be an incredibly simple thing to leave behind a small palace in the human realm that you're protecting?"

Upon hearing this, Fuxi chuckled, a slightly sly expression appearing on his face.

"That may be true, but you are, after all, the leader of the Human Sect."

"There are some things I should ask for your opinion on first, as a sign of respect."

Upon hearing this, the Supreme Lord shook his head and chuckled.

He could easily see through Fuxi's little scheme.

"Do whatever you want."

"You don't always have to use me as a cover."

"Since fellow Daoist has expressed his support, then this matter is much easier to discuss!" This was exactly what Fuxi had been waiting for.

He immediately turned around, sent a wisp of his divine sense directly to the Netherworld, and greeted the Underworld Emperor, as if to report in advance.

After that, he left behind a palace for the Green Emperor on Mount Tai.

Not only that, he also specially left behind a subordinate deity named "Jumang".

This god Jumang has a human face and a bird's body, and rides on two blue dragons. He looks very majestic.

Fuxi ordered him to carry a Fuxi Heavenly Stele engraved with the Eight Trigrams of Heaven and Earth, and to be responsible for guarding the Green Emperor's Palace day and night.

In the underworld, within the Seven Heavenly Palaces.

Upon learning this news, the immortal Taiyi Zhenren (King of Mount Tai) showed deep bewilderment on his face.

He approached Xuan Qing, bowed respectfully, and asked with a hint of confusion:
“Master, that Human Emperor Fuxi has so openly left behind a palace in the human world as part of the office of our Underworld.”

"This...this isn't quite appropriate, is it?"

The Underworld was only used as a venue for the Emperor to hold the Fengshan ceremony, out of consideration for harmony among the three realms.

But how come the Fengshan ceremony ended so long ago?

He turned around and settled down on our turf?
Upon hearing this, Xuan Qing smiled.

He took a sip of his tea and said leisurely:

"Didn't you just say that yourself?"

"Mount Tai is the office of our underworld stationed in the human world."

"Since it's an office, can't the Emperor himself leave behind a palace here?"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren shook his head.

"Master, your disciple is foolish and dull."

"This disciple simply doesn't understand the deeper meaning behind His Majesty's actions."

"Well..."

Xuanqing thought for a moment and decided to give his disciple some pointers.

He put down his teacup and slowly said:

"Actually, this matter concerns Fuxi's future... retirement life."

"Retirement life?"

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren looked even more bewildered.

Does someone as meritorious as the Human Emperor need to consider retirement and old age?
"Ah."

Xuan Qing nodded and patiently explained.

"The future Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of humanity, in addition to educating the people and creating a prosperous era, actually shouldered a more important and longer-lasting mission."

"That is, after they have accomplished their merits and abdicated, they need to go together to that holy place called 'Fire Cloud Cave' to settle down, as the most stable 'ballast' of human fortune."

"In this way, we can ensure that no matter what turmoil and changes occur in the human world in the future, it will not affect the fundamental trend of the development of humanity."

"From this perspective, their duty is similar to that of the Heavenly Emperor and the thirty-three deities of the Heavenly Dao Committee, who are required to suppress the Heavenly Dao's fortune and stabilize the Heavenly Dao's order at all times."

"The only difference is that these eight people have to do all the work that the entire system of the Heavenly Gods can do."

"Therefore, once they settled in Fire Cloud Cave, in order to ensure the absolute stability of the human destiny, the eight human emperors would not easily leave there again."

Upon hearing this, Taiyi Zhenren seemed to be deep in thought, and touched his chin.

"In other words, after the Emperor retires, he will be forced to go to the Fire Cloud Cave Nursing Home for centralized retirement?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanqing was amused by the vivid analogy of his disciple.

"Haha, that's pretty much the idea."

"That's why Fuxi left such a palace in the human world in advance."

"Moreover, he also specially arranged for a so-called 'divine' Jumang to guard this palace."

A meaningful smile appeared on Xuan Qing's lips.

"And that Jumang is actually Fuxi himself."

"His real purpose in doing this was to leave behind another avatar that could move freely in the future, so that he could go out and have some fresh air."

"So that's how it is!" Master Taiyi suddenly realized.

"Alright, alright, Junior Brother has finished asking about this trivial matter. Now we'll ask about the important one." Behind Taiyi, Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Huanglong Zhenren, and a group of other disciples of the Chan Sect crowded around him.

Xuanqing looked at his disciples and asked, "What important matter do you have to discuss?"

"Is such that."

Everyone pushed Master Yuding forward to speak as their representative: "Our master recently passed down the method to reverse the Three Corpses."

“We suddenly had a brilliant idea that this method could be used on the Primordial Dao.”

"Didn't Master dissolve the Primordial Nine Qi and transform into nine great incarnations?"

"When we cultivate the Primordial True Body, can we cultivate one Qi separately, then combine them into nine incarnations, and then refine the Primordial Body in reverse?"

As Master Yuding finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Xuanqing's expression.

He suppressed his excitement and said excitedly:
"If this method can reverse the primordial state, how much of Master's cultivation level could one achieve?"

"How does it differ from the true form of Pangu that was transformed from the ordinary Primordial Great Luo?"

Xuan Qing smiled as he looked at his disciples' bright, eager eyes.
“Your idea is excellent.”

"Alright, come with me to Qingwei Heaven and let's test the feasibility of this idea together."

Cihang Zhenren cheered, "Great! Master is the best!"

"Junior sister (senior sister), be reserved, be reserved!"

The disciples were all grinning from ear to ear.

~~~~
Just as Xuanqing was discussing the Great Dao with his disciples.

Yu Chen Daojun found Yuan Huang.

"Fellow Daoist, what brings you to the Heavenly Dao Academy all of a sudden?" Yuan Huang asked curiously.

Daoist Yu Chen cut to the chase: "Looking for fellow Daoists to attract investment?"

"Investment?" Yuan Huang blinked.

"Correct!"

Yu Chen Daojun said, "I will personally be the master of a great calamity in the future, and I need your help, fellow Daoist."

"Great catastrophe?"

Yuan Huang hesitated: "Fellow Daoist, as you know, our Phoenix Clan is bound by a Heavenly Oath!"

Yu Chen said, "I can accept Kong Xuan Jinpeng as my disciple and impart all the secrets of the Jie Sect to him."

Yuan Huang was somewhat tempted.

But he still shook his head.

Yu Chen said, "I will use a great calamity to settle the karmic debts of the demon gods and restore peace to the primordial world!"

Yuan Huang remained silent.

Yu Chen said, "I want to turn the tables on my elder brother. Please help me, fellow Daoist!"

Yuan Huang's eyes lit up: "This is good, this is good!"

"I agreed!"
