Primordial Era: Starting with the repair of Penglai Immortal Island

Huang Long and his two companions walked to the front of the Eight Views Palace, straightened their clothes, and respectfully bowed to the door.

The door remained closed. Xuan Du reached out and gently pushed the door, but it didn't budge.

The gates of Hakkeijō Palace remained tightly shut, with no indication that they would be opened.

Xuan Du was slightly taken aback, then took two steps back, bowed towards the direction of the Eight Views Palace, and said, "Disciple Xuan Du has returned with Senior Brother Huang Long and Senior Brother Duo Bao to pay respects to Master."

There was no response from inside the house.

Only the mountain breeze rustling through the pine needles made the pine branches whisper in the wind.

Huang Long stepped forward, straightened his clothes, and respectfully bowed to the Eight Views Palace: "Disciple Huang Long has returned safely from his trip to Xiniu Hezhou. I pay my respects to my senior master."

The room remained quiet.

Duobao also stepped forward and bowed, but there was no response.

The three waited outside the thatched hut for a while, and the Daoist aura flowing on the gate of the Eight Views Palace suddenly accelerated and spread out, and a faint wisp of Xuanhuang Qi drifted out from the crack in the door.

Xuan Du looked at the wisp of primordial yellow energy and smiled helplessly.

He turned to Huanglong and Duobao and said, "The teacher isn't here; it seems we won't be seeing him today."

Huanglong also felt some regret.

Besides paying his respects to the Sage Taiqing, he also had another matter to ask about when he came to Shouyang Mountain... He was worried that the dozens of Bodhi seeds might be a backup plan left by the two Western Sages.

Otherwise, he would have already refined that Bodhi seed into a spiritual treasure for enlightenment and given it to Xuandu and Duobao to help them comprehend the Great Dao.

Since our senior master is not here, we can only wait until we return to Kunlun to verify this.

"Um!"

Just then, Huang Long and the other two looked out of Kunlun Mountain.

A sharp sword light suddenly appeared from the horizon, carrying with it undisguised anger.

The sword light landed at the foot of Shouyang Mountain, and then a figure rushed up the mountain like a drawn sword.

The figure was dressed in a purple celestial robe and had a handsome face, but at this moment, his handsome face was covered with dark clouds and his eyes were filled with anger that seemed about to burst out.

Guangchengzi, the chief disciple of the Chan sect.

He stormed up to Huanglong and the other two in a rage!

"Greetings, Senior Brother Guangchengzi!" Huanglong, Xuandu, and Duobao bowed simultaneously.

"Junior Brother Huanglong, shouldn't you give your senior brother an explanation?" Guang Chengzi ignored Xuandu and Duobao and questioned Huanglong.

"Senior brother, please sit down." Huang Long pointed to the stone bench next to him.

Guang Chengzi snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and sat down on the stone bench.

Xuandu and Duobao exchanged a glance, both of them curious about why Guangchengzi was so angry and what Huanglong wanted to explain.

Duobao even pulled out a handful of unidentified wild fruits from his sleeve, shared some with Xuandu, and chewed on them while watching the upcoming show with great interest.

Huang Long didn't rush to explain.

He took out a teapot and four teacups.

He took out a few more pieces of Enlightenment Tea, put the tea leaves into the pot, used his magic to heat the water to a simmer, and then poured the hot water into the pot.

As the pale green tea flows from the spout, a refreshing aroma fills the air, instantly invigorating the senses.

Xuandu and Duobao did not sit down, but instead took a few steps back, their curiosity growing stronger.

Guang Chengzi had no interest in sipping tea.

He lifted the teacup and placed it heavily on the stone table.

Staring angrily at Huanglong, he demanded in a deep voice, "What's going on with Chi You?"

Xuandu and Duobao both perked up their ears.

Chi You, the one with no human bloodline, who broke through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm along with Xuanyuan.

Duobao slowed down his chewing of wild fruits.

Huang Long still did not answer immediately.

He took a small sip from his teacup, then put it down and pointed to the still-steaming cup of Enlightenment Tea in front of Guang Chengzi. He said calmly, "Brother, don't be impatient. Drink this tea, and I'll explain to you slowly."

Looking at Huang Long's calm and composed face, Guang Chengzi felt his anger rise even higher.

But he was, after all, a direct disciple of the sage and Huanglong's senior brother; he wasn't the kind of person who would slam his fist on the table at the slightest disagreement.

He gritted his teeth, raised his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

The cup of Enlightenment Tea was refreshingly cool upon entry, and a refreshing sensation flowed down his throat into his dantian, calming his agitated state somewhat.

He slammed the empty teacup down on the stone table with a dull thud, then stared at Huang Long, waiting for him to speak.

Huang Long poured him another cup.

The tea made a crisp, pleasant sound as it was poured into the cup, a stark contrast to the dull thud on the stone table.

He put down the teapot, looked at the sea of ​​clouds outside Kunlun Mountain, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"The Witch Clan is both a witch clan and a human clan."

These words landed on the stone table, causing all three people present to pause in surprise.

Guang Chengzi frowned even more. He wasn't quite sure what Huang Long meant. Humans are humans, and witches are witches. What did it mean to be both witches and humans?

Huanglong didn't leave him puzzled for long.

He picked up his teacup and took another sip, then looked away, his gaze falling on Guang Chengzi's furrowed brows: "The Wuren race are descendants of the fusion of the bloodlines of the Wu and humans. They existed in the primordial world before the Great Calamity of the Wu and Demons, but because of the karma of the Wu race, they were always protected in the underworld by the Goddess Houtu. Now that they have been reborn, Chi You is the leader of the Wuren race, and he carries the destiny of the Wu race."

After hearing this, Guang Chengzi did not show any sign of sudden understanding; instead, he became even more confused.

Since he came to find Huanglong, he must already know Chiyou's background and was not completely unaware of the existence of the Wuren tribe.

Knowing Chi You's origins is one thing, but understanding the connection between this and the struggle for the Human Emperor is another.

He leaned forward slightly, tapping his fingers lightly twice on the stone table, producing a dull sound: "What does this have to do with the human race and the Human Emperor? The position of Human Emperor is determined by the Sages, and can only be achieved with the blessing of the human race. Chi You possesses the blood of the Wu tribe; even with human lineage, he is still half-Wu. What makes him worthy to compete with Xuanyuan for the Human Emperor position?"

This is a direct and pointed question.

Xuandu and Duobao both turned their gazes to Huanglong, as they too wanted to know the answer.

Duobao had finished eating the wild fruit in his hand. He clapped his hands and sat down at the table with Xuandu, clearly ready to listen to a great show.

"Does Senior Brother know Fuxi?" He straightened up and turned to look at Guang Chengzi.

Guang Chengzi paused slightly, his brows furrowing even deeper: "Fuxi was the first human emperor of the human race, who created the Eight Trigrams and educated all people. This is known to everyone in the prehistoric world."

"Does Senior Brother know who Fuxi was in his previous life?" Huanglong asked again.

"In his previous life, Fuxi was the demon king Fuxi, the Xi Emperor of the Demon Court. He was in charge of the Hetu and Luoshu, and calculated the secrets of heaven," Guang Chengzi answered without hesitation.

"Does Senior Brother know why Fuxi was able to reincarnate as a human and become the Human Emperor?"

"Because Fuxi was the elder brother of Nuwa, and he perished in the great calamity of the witches and demons, his reincarnation as a human was arranged by Nuwa," Guang Chengzi replied after a moment of contemplation.

Huang Long nodded: "That's just one aspect..."
