Chapter 150 The Yellow Emperor's Reign
The atmosphere in Xuanyuan's military camp was somewhat somber, because although Xuanyuan had captured Chiyou alive, the axemen in his army were unable to kill him.

Even when the disciples of Yuxu and Jiejiao used the Samadhi True Fire to burn him, and Chijingzi used the Yin-Yang Mirror, they could not defeat Chiyou.

Guang Chengzi used the Heaven-Turning Seal, but it only injured Chi You. Did he intend to kill him by repeatedly smashing him with the Heaven-Turning Seal?

Should we try to kill him by having Yu Xu and the disciples of Jie Jiao join forces?

The fact that so many of them couldn't defeat Chi You left Guang Chengzi and the others somewhat frustrated and speechless.

However, they also realized that this Chi You seemed to be somewhat different from ordinary great shamans.

Just as everyone was looking at each other with a headache, the only direct disciple of Laozi, the Grand Master Xuandu, arrived, bringing with him a rather special divine sword.

"The Sword of Slaughtering Witches? It really has fallen into my hands!" In the cave of Panwang Ancestor in Panwang Mountain, looking at the scene that appeared in front of him, in which Xuanyuan held a dark red divine sword and cut off Chiyou's head, Shi Mo couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

Turning to look at the complex expression on the face of the Panwang Ancestor, Shi Mo couldn't help but say:

"Don't worry, your disciple was carefully chosen by the Goddess Houtu, he won't die so easily. Even if he does die, what difficulty would it be for the Goddess Houtu to make him reincarnate?"

In Chichi Xuanyuan's military camp, seeing that even several disciples of the Jie Sect could not burn Chi You's corpse to ashes with Samadhi True Fire, the onlookers couldn't help but change their expressions.

“His soul has already vanished, and his remains are not a concern. We can bury his head, limbs, and body separately,” said the Grand Master Xuandu from the side.

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan followed his advice and personally used the Slaughtering Witch Sword to sever Chi You's limbs. He then arranged for his trusted men to carry Chi You's head, limbs, and torso to be buried in remote places in different directions. Chi You's head was buried in Mount Tai.
Xuanyuan won the trust and allegiance of various human tribes through this battle, thus firmly securing his position as the Human Emperor.

After defeating Chiyou, Xuanyuan divided the land into states and fields, established rites and music to educate the people, and invented various utensils and objects to facilitate the daily lives of the people.

Xuanyuan and Qibo also created the Inner and Outer Classics based on Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, enabling people to better identify and treat diseases.

He also defined the names of all things in the world, divided the stars into twenty-eight constellations, used the ten Heavenly Stems (甲乙) to record the days, and used the twelve Earthly Branches (子丑) to record the months, thus giving humankind the concept of the universe, time and space, and the operation of all things in heaven and earth.

The Yellow Emperor reigned for over a thousand years, during which time the human race prospered, the government was stable, and culture progressed. He made many inventions and creations, such as writing, music, calendars, palaces, boats and vehicles, clothing, and the compass chariot, which benefited future generations.

Later historians described the people at that time as "enjoying their food, appreciating their clothing, finding joy in their customs, and living in peace," a scene of peace and harmony.

While governing the human race, Xuanyuan did not forget to cultivate. He also met Su Nu, another of Xi Wangmu's favorite disciples, and they became Daoist partners. They studied meridian medicine and the wonderful method of Yin-Yang dual cultivation. With his extraordinary talent, he easily cultivated to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

During the reign of Xuanyuan, many virtuous and capable figures emerged, such as Su Nu, Cangjie, and Qibo. Xuanyuan's wives, Leizu and Mumu, were also renowned for their virtue and wisdom.
Although Qi Bo's talent in cultivation was far inferior to that of Huangdi and Cangjie, he was still quite wise and his knowledge was diverse.

To study pharmacology, Qi Bo went to the mountains of southwest China to collect and identify medicinal herbs. When he passed by Panwang Mountain, he was noticed by Panwang and taken in as a disciple. Under Panwang's tutelage, Qi Bo diligently studied medicine and the art of poisons and venoms.
Under the joint governance of Xuanyuan and some great sages under his command, the living standards and cultural level of the people have greatly improved, and the entire human race has become increasingly prosperous.

Gradually, Xuanyuan gained influence among the human race that was no less than that of Shennong, Fuxi, and Suirenshi, and was even revered as the Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor along with Shennong.

After cultivating to the peak of the Great Luo realm, Emperor Huangdi Xuanyuan also relied on his merits and fortune in governing the world to sever his corpse and become a Quasi-Saint, which completely established his position and influence as the future leader of the Five Emperors of the Human Race.

Afterwards, the Yellow Emperor passed the throne to his eldest son, Xuanxiao, who was quite capable and prestigious.

Xuanxiao was the son of the Yellow Emperor and Leizu. He married a woman from the Fenghong clan and became the leader of the Fenghong clan. Later, he was revered by various Dongyi tribes and became the leader of the entire Dongyi tribe, known as Shaohao.

At the same time, he was also a disciple of Jinling Shengmu, the eldest disciple of Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Jie Sect.

Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang became disciples of Grand Master Xuandu and Guangchengzi respectively. The Jie Sect was naturally not to be outdone and wanted to teach the Human Emperor in order to gain merit and fortune.

Guang Chengzi, a disciple of the Jade Void Sect, gained a lot of merit by teaching Xuanyuan, and his cultivation level reached the peak of the Great Luo realm in one fell swoop. Although he had not yet severed his corpse, he had laid a solid foundation for severing his corpse in the future.

The Golden Spirit Mother has cultivated for a longer time than Guang Chengzi and has long since reached the peak of the Great Luo realm. Naturally, she is even more eager for the assistance of merit and fortune so that she can sever her corpse as soon as possible.

When Shaohao was born, five phoenixes of different colors appeared in the sky. When he became the leader of the Dongyi, phoenixes also came to congratulate him. Later, many tribes of the Dongyi adopted the phoenix as their totem.
At the foot of the mother peach tree atop Babao Peak on Jiuding Iron Fork Mountain, Shi Mo and Bai Ze sat facing each other, sipping tea and chatting.

"The current Human Emperor Shaohao actually uses the phoenix as his totem. This must be Shang Yang's doing, right? It seems that Goddess Nuwa intends to gather the Phoenix Clan's fortune." Shi Mo said casually. Bai Ze's eyes flickered slightly as he listened and said, "I'm not too sure about that. Ever since Shang Yang became a disciple of Goddess Nuwa, I've had almost no contact with her."

"What a pity! The Phoenix Clan's fortune is limited. Nuwa's actions not only failed to help Shaohao, but also affected him, making it difficult for him to achieve anything," Shi Moqing shook his head and said.

Bai Ze nodded slightly: "Indeed! This current Human Emperor is far inferior to his father, the Yellow Emperor. He can only control the Dongyi tribe. Other human tribes, especially those that have gradually adopted the dragon as their totem, are quite dissatisfied with the Dongyi's use of the phoenix as their totem!"

The reason why humans use the dragon as a totem is mainly because of the Yellow Dragon.

In particular, after learning that Huanglong was a member of the dragon race, and that Fuxi and his descendants all had dragon blood, the consensus gradually shifted to using the dragon as a totem.

"After the Three Sovereigns, the so-called Five Emperors, their achievements and fortune in governing the world ultimately depend on what they did that benefited the human race. If they did not do well, the position of Human Emperor was merely an empty title."

Shi Mo then said, "Therefore, even a sage, although he can see through the secrets of heaven and see who is destined to be the human emperor, can hardly see how much merit and fortune he will have after becoming the human emperor."

“Yes! It’s a pity about Shaohao! I’m afraid that the human race will not remember how many merits he has done in the future, and it will be difficult for him to be ranked among the Five Emperors with the Yellow Emperor,” Bai Ze added.

Shao Hao did not achieve much, except for establishing a system based on the phoenix. Later, he discovered the talent of his nephew Zhuanxu, nurtured him, and then, seeing that Zhuanxu was more capable than him, passed the throne to Zhuanxu and devoted himself to cultivation.

Unfortunately, Shao Hao's talent in cultivation was only average, and he didn't have much merit or luck to support him, so his progress in cultivation was slow.

The Holy Mother of Golden Spirit has really lost out by taking on this disciple. Shao Hao has only received a very limited amount of merit and fortune. How much merit and fortune can she gain by teaching Shao Hao?

Compared to his uncle Shaohao, Zhuanxu was much more ambitious, directly aiming to achieve something great, like his grandfather, the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.

After Zhuanxu succeeded to the throne, he appointed the important official of the South to be in charge of sacrifices, and appointed the official of the Fire Department to be in charge of civil affairs.

He became a disciple of Chi Jingzi of the Yuxu lineage, and under Chi Jingzi's influence, the influence of the Three Pure Ones began to rise among the human race.

In particular, the orthodox status of the Jade Void lineage is increasingly being recognized by some rising stars among the human race, including cultivators and Qi refiners.

Meanwhile, the Jiuli tribe, which had been conquered by the Yellow Emperor, continued to practice shamanism and worship various spirits during the reign of Emperor Zhuanxu. The tribe members were warlike and bloodthirsty, and frequently engaged in raids.

Emperor Zhuanxu then personally led a large army to conquer the Jiuli tribe, and with the help of the Yuxu lineage, they fought a fierce battle.
However, this war did not go as smoothly as Zhuanxu and the Yuxu lineage had imagined.

The remnants of the Wu tribe merged with the Jiuli tribe, and after thousands of years of recuperation, the Jiuli's strength is now not to be underestimated.

If the war were to continue, even if Zhuanxu were to win, it would be a Pyrrhic victory.

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, on Panwang Mountain, Panwang Ancestor, who had awakened from his meditation, found Qibo, who was pondering alchemy and medicine preparation:
"Alright, Qi Bo, stop bothering with your medicinal herbs. Your grandmaster has ordered you to go to the human race."

"Go to the human race?" Qi Bo, who was obsessed with alchemy, was taken aback upon hearing this and couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what is it? Why would it alarm our grandmaster? Could something serious have happened to the human race?"

Seeing Qi Bo's anxious expression, Pan Wang Lao Zu shook his head slightly: "It's nothing major. It's just that the Human Emperor Zhuanxu is currently at war with the Jiuli tribe, and you are needed to resolve this conflict."

"Warring with the Jiuli?" Somewhat surprised, Qi Bo asked doubtfully, "Teacher, warfare is not my forte! How can I resolve this conflict?"

"Resolving this war will not be easy, but it's not actually that difficult either," said Panwang Ancestor meaningfully.
"Now that Jiufeng is the leader of the Jiuli tribe, if she is willing to marry Emperor Zhuanxu, the war can be completely ended."

“That is indeed a good idea! But given Jiu Feng’s personality, would she be willing to marry Zhuanxu? And Zhuanxu might not be willing to marry her either!” Upon hearing this, Qi Bo’s eyes lit up, but he immediately frowned and said.

Panwang Patriarch confidently smiled and said, "Don't worry! They are destined to be together. Just tell Jiufeng that this is my idea, for the future of the Wu Clan and the Jiuli Tribe, and she will agree. As for Emperor Zhuanxu, you will have to persuade him."

“Alright! If we can truly end the war and allow the Wu tribe and Jiuli to fully integrate into the human race, it would be a meritorious deed,” Qi Bo nodded slightly.

Thus, with Qi Bo's intervention, Shang Yang, also on the orders of the Goddess Nuwa, brought the supreme innate spiritual treasure, the Red Embroidered Ball, to witness the marriage of Zhuanxu and Jiufeng, resolving the unnecessary war and completing the human marriage.
