Primordial Era: Mistakenly Taking Emperor Xin as Father, Nuwa is Destroyed at the Start

"presumptuous!"

Yun Zhongzi slammed his hand on the table, causing the cups and plates to clang loudly.

He suddenly stood up, pointing his whisk at Shang Rong and the other man, his voice filled with thunderous rage.

"I am Yun Zhongzi, a cultivator from Zhongnan Mountain! I have come by divine mandate to rid your Great Shang of demons and dispel your doubts! Where is Emperor Xin? How dare you be so disrespectful! Sending you mere mortal subjects, do you consider my righteous Xuanmen sect to be nothing?!"

He was so angry that his beard was shaking.

As a dignified Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect and a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable, he was treated as an honored guest wherever he went.

Now that I have condescended to come to this mortal Chaoge and offered to "eliminate demons" for the Emperor, I am being treated with such contempt!

You think you can get rid of him by sending two old ministers? That's outrageous!

Yun Zhongzi grew angrier the more he thought about it, his face turning ashen.

"This brat is not worth discussing anything with!" He flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

He didn't want to stay in this place for even a second longer!

Shang Rong and Du Yuanxian were startled by his sudden outburst of anger.

Shang Rong, being a veteran official, reacted quickly, immediately stepping forward and bowing deeply, adopting an extremely humble posture.

"Immortal Master, please calm your anger! Immortal Master, please calm your anger!"

Shang Rong spoke sincerely, with deep remorse.

"The arrival of the Immortal Master in Chaoge is truly an honor for our Great Shang Dynasty! His Majesty, upon hearing of the Immortal Master's arrival, intended to personally welcome him immediately, but alas..."

Shang Rong sighed at just the right moment, her face showing just the right amount of sorrow.

"However, the affairs of state have been very demanding lately. Your Majesty has been working tirelessly day and night, and has fallen ill from overwork. Your health is not good and it is difficult for you to continue."

His Majesty felt deeply ashamed and specially ordered this old minister and Lord Du to bring imperial wine and delicacies from the palace to welcome the immortal and express our heartfelt gratitude!

Du Yuanxian quickly followed suit, bowing and adding in support:

"Yes, yes! Immortal Master! His Majesty specifically instructed that you must be treated with the highest honors!"

"Look, these are the finest imperial wines and the most exquisite pastries from the palace! His Majesty said that since the Immortal has come from afar, he must first rest and settle in at the inn. Once he has recovered somewhat, His Majesty will personally host a banquet to listen to the Immortal's teachings!"

Shang Rong seized the opportunity, stepping aside to reveal the palace servants behind her carrying various delicacies and fine wines.

"Immortal Master, please look! This is His Majesty's personally bestowed 'Jade Marrow Wine,' aged for a hundred years! And this 'Eight Treasures Stew,' made with the finest ingredients... Although His Majesty cannot be here in person, his intentions are sincere, and he would never dare to neglect you in the slightest!"

Yun Zhongzi, filled with rage, was momentarily speechless by Shang Rong's watertight yet considerate explanation.

His gaze swept over the expensive imperial wines and delicacies being carried by the palace servants.

The other party's attitude was so humble, repeatedly saying "Your Majesty is unwell," "I feel deeply ashamed," and "You are being treated with the highest courtesy," that he couldn't bring himself to lash out again.

The action of turning away with a flick of his sleeve stopped abruptly.

His face remained gloomy, but the urge to rush out was forcibly suppressed.

Of course, that's not the most important thing.

It was because he was under orders from his master!

The task assigned by his master, Yuanshi Tianzun, was not yet completed. The key step in the Investiture of the Gods calamity lay in whether he could stir up the storm in Chaoge and disrupt Emperor Xin's plan to "self-proclaim himself a god".

If I were to leave in a fit of anger, how would I explain it to my master? How would I explain it to Yuxu Palace?

Thinking this, Yun Zhongzi took a deep breath and managed to suppress the anger surging in his chest.

He snorted coldly and sat back down in his chair, but his expression remained unpleasant.

"Hmph! I, this humble Taoist, would like to see what kind of logic you, the rulers and ministers of the Great Shang Dynasty, have!"

It was a reluctant statement, but in the end, it stayed.

Shang Rong and Du Yuanxian exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of relaxation in each other's eyes.

The first step has finally brought things under control.

"Thank you for your understanding, Immortal Master!" Shang Rong quickly bowed, a smile spreading across his face.

"Immortal, you must be tired from your journey. Please have some food and wine. The inn has been prepared in advance, and all necessities are of the highest standard. Once you have rested, His Majesty will surely summon you as soon as possible."

Du Yuanxian quickly instructed the palace servants, "Hurry! Set out the wine and dishes for the immortal! Serve him carefully!"

The palace maids filed in and quietly laid out delicacies and fine wines on the table.

For a moment, the private room was filled with fragrance.

Yun Zhongzi looked at the table full of delicacies, but had no appetite.

He picked up the freshly poured "jade marrow wine," looking at the amber liquid inside, still harboring a burning desire.

To think that a dignified Golden Immortal would be treated so perfunctorily!

Di Xin... you'd better be truly too ill to get up!

Otherwise, I'll make you pay!

He gripped the wine glass with slightly increased force, his knuckles turning slightly white.

For the sake of his sect's grand plan, Yun Zhongzi... swallowed this humiliation!

However, he said he endured it.

But when evening came, he still felt restless and uneasy.

Who is he? A born sage of good fortune, his ability to avoid misfortune and seek good luck is ingrained in his very bones. This feeling I have now is definitely wrong!

He thought about it over and over, but the more he thought about it, the more uncertain he felt.

This passive waiting won't work.

Yun Zhongzi steeled his heart and decided to go all out.

He sat cross-legged, and his soul left his body.

A beam of clear light shot straight towards the Jade Void Palace, located thirty-three heavens away.

He was going to the Jade Void Palace to ask his master, the Primordial Celestial Venerable, for an explanation.

Inside the Jade Void Palace, Yun Zhongzi's soul prostrated himself on the ground.

"Master! Your disciple Yun Zhongzi has something important to report."

He recounted his experiences in Chaoge in detail, from Emperor Xin's avoidance of him to the "warm hospitality" from Shang Rong and Du Yuanxi. Finally, he expressed his unease: "I am deeply troubled and fear something unforeseen may happen, so I have come to seek guidance from my master."

After hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was sitting high on his cloud bed, slowly opened his eyes.

A hint of approval appeared on his face.

"Good." The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable echoed in the empty hall. "You did the right thing by considering the bigger picture, swallowing your anger, and not leaving on the spot."

Yun Zhongzi felt slightly relieved, but his doubts deepened. "Master, is there some hidden reason behind Di Xin's blatant disrespect?"

The Primordial Celestial Venerable's gaze was profound, as if piercing through layers of space and seeing the city of Chaoge.

"Di Xin is no easy man to deal with. He dared to promote 'self-deification' and openly defy the Heavenly Court. How could he be without any support? His avoidance of them must mean he has a backup plan."

Yun Zhongzi's heart skipped a beat. "Master means..."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded slightly.

"Indeed. I sensed earlier that Junior Brother Tongtian had stirred up the heavenly secrets, causing violent fluctuations in the Dao principles, which even I found difficult to deduce clearly. Such an anomaly is no small matter."

He paused, his tone becoming more serious.

"The Jie Sect has very likely already intervened. Emperor Xin's reliance may lie with the Jie Sect."

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi gasped.

He only thought about fulfilling his master's orders and disrupting the Investiture of the Gods ceremony, but he didn't expect the waters behind it to be so deep, possibly directly confronting the Jie Sect!

The thought that the Tongtian Sect Leader and the entire Jie Sect might be behind the Investiture of the Gods ceremony sent a chill down Yun Zhongzi's spine.

A strong sense of regret welled up inside him.

If I had known that the Jie Sect was backing me up, why would I have stepped forward and taken on this hot potato?

Isn't this just walking into the line of fire?

"Master..." Yun Zhongzi's voice was a little dry, filled with lingering fear.

But what's done is done, there's no turning back now.

The mission has been accepted, and the person has arrived in Chaoge.

If we back down now, not only will we fail to fulfill our master's orders, but we will also leave an impression of incompetence and cowardice in front of our master. How will we be able to stand firm in the Chan Sect in the future?

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and proceed. "Disciple understands. Then... how should disciple proceed?"

Yuanshi Tianzun looked at the fear and regret on the face of his disciple, who was always known for his good fortune, and understood.

He was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, his tone was somewhat gentler.

"Yun Zhongzi".

"Disciple is here!" Yun Zhongzi quickly replied.

"You have risked your life for the sake of Yuxu Palace and Chan Sect. How can I, your master, let you go into danger alone?" Yuanshi Tianzun said slowly.

Yun Zhongzi was taken aback, looked up at his master, and a glimmer of hope flashed in his eyes.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable simply raised his hand and gently beckoned, "Take out your 'Innate Origin Demon-Illuminating Mirror'."

Yun Zhongzi dared not be negligent. With a thought, his ancient and profound treasure mirror, containing the innate energy of the primordial source, immediately appeared in his hand.

This is precisely the magical artifact he relies on to travel through the primordial world, identify demons and evil spirits, and protect himself.

The Primordial Celestial Lord's gaze fell upon the Demon-Illuminating Mirror, and he extended a finger, pointing it remotely towards the mirror.

hum!

An indescribable beam of pure light, imbued with supreme holy power, instantly entered the Demon-Identifying Mirror.

The treasure mirror trembled violently, its radiance receded, and a layer of deeper and more profound Dao patterns flowed across its surface, making its aura even more substantial and solid.

"alright."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable withdrew his finger, his voice calm. "I have already imbued this treasure with a wisp of sacred Dao opportunity. If you truly encounter danger in Chaoge, this treasure may protect you and help you escape."

Looking at the Demon-Identifying Mirror in his hand, which was clearly more powerful and contained a radiant light, Yun Zhongzi's fear and lingering apprehension were instantly replaced by immense joy and gratitude!

A talisman personally blessed by a saint! This is simply an incredibly powerful talisman!

He was so excited that he prostrated himself on the ground again, his voice trembling slightly: "Thank you for your grace, Master! This disciple... this disciple will certainly live up to your expectations and do my utmost to complete this task!"

With the protective talisman bestowed by his master, his anxious heart finally settled down completely. His master still valued him!

The Primordial Celestial Venerable nodded slightly. "Go. Be careful in all matters and act according to the circumstances."

"Disciple obeys!" Yun Zhongzi kowtowed respectfully.

The soul returns to the body.

Yun Zhongzi suddenly opened his eyes and found himself still sitting on the bed in the inn.

Outside the window, it was already bright daylight.

He subconsciously touched his chest. The "Innate Origin Demon-Illuminating Mirror," blessed by his master, was resting peacefully, radiating a warm and reassuring aura.

The sounds of daytime hustle and bustle of Chaoge City could still be faintly heard.

Yun Zhongzi took a deep breath, and his eyes became firm again.

He got up and walked to the window.

There were shouts and bugle calls coming from outside; it was quite lively.

He looked out curiously.

In the distance, on the square where the Shang Dynasty was preparing for the Investiture of the Gods ceremony, craftsmen were busily erecting two enormous sculptures.

Upon closer inspection, they were indeed Xuanyuan and Shennong, two of the Three Saints of Huoyun Cave.

Shang Rong and Du Yuanxi, those two old men, were also downstairs, directing people to put something on the sculpture's base.

Yun Zhongzi squinted and looked at them. The two things were ordinary and unremarkable, without any precious light or spiritual energy. They were just ordinary clods of earth.

He scoffed, his face full of disdain:

"Ha, what happened to the promised Three Saints of Fire Cloud Cave? Only two statues are erected? Where is Emperor Fuxi? This scheme to sow discord... is far too clumsy!"

He shook his head, feeling that the Shang dynasty's methods were really unsophisticated. The frustration he felt from being left hanging was somewhat diluted by this clumsy performance.

……

at the same time.

The sculpture was erected not long ago.

The Three Saints of Huoyun Cave also learned of this matter.

After all, this kind of sculpture is related to faith.

The three sages smiled dismissively at this, considering it a clumsy attempt to sow discord.

Shennong and Xuanyuan were quite dismissive of this.

They felt this tactic of courting was too simplistic.

The two turned their heads and started chatting and joking with Fuxi.

As wise as Fuxi was, he even foresaw the subsequent actions of the human race.

He said, "In my opinion, they will probably offer incense and merits to you two next as a way to divide yourselves."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan and Shennong immediately nodded in agreement.

They felt that what Fuxi said made a lot of sense.

Shennong patted his chest and assured him, "Brother, rest assured, we brothers are one. How could mere offerings and merits separate us?"

Xuanyuan also chimed in with magnanimity: "Exactly! How many years have we three sages been of one spirit and one branch? To think that such a small favor can sow discord among us is simply a pipe dream!"

The two spoke with absolute certainty.

At that very moment, the three holy emperors, Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan, simultaneously sensed something and turned their gazes toward the outside of the Fire Cloud Cave.

Outside the cave, a huge cloud of auspicious merit was seen drifting towards the Fire Cloud Cave, its swirling clouds shimmering with golden light.

All three emperors were startled.

Fuxi frowned slightly: "Hmm? More auspicious clouds of merit?"

Xuanyuan was also somewhat surprised: "Besides the waterwheels and open channels we've already presented, does the Great Shang Dynasty actually have anything else to offer?"

A hint of inquiry flashed in Shennong's eyes: "That's quite strange."

After his initial surprise, Shennong's gaze was firmly fixed on that auspicious cloud.

He suddenly took a step forward, as if to meet him.

Upon seeing Shennong's actions, Xuanyuan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately asked, "Shennong, what do you mean by this? Weren't you just making such a confident promise?"

Shennong's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but he quickly became serious and said, "Brother Xuanyuan, it's not that I'm disregarding our friendship. This merit... I have no choice but to accept!"

He pointed to the auspicious cloud, his voice tinged with excitement: "The power of merit contained within this object is intimately connected to the foundation of my Great Dao! The foundation of my sainthood lies in the agriculture and medicine of humankind! This object aids agriculture and greatly benefits the advancement of my Great Dao!"

Feelings are feelings, but when it comes to matters of fundamental principles, no one can afford to be ambiguous!

Before he could finish speaking, and before Fuxi and Xuanyuan could say anything more, Shennong's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light and instantly appearing outside the Fire Cloud Cave.

He went straight into the vast cloud of auspicious merit.

Auspicious clouds surged, and a thick beam of golden light of merit poured down like a waterfall, directly into Shennong's body!

As this immense merit entered his body, Shennong's aura suddenly surged!

The already dazzling golden light of merit behind him now surged even more, like the blazing sun in the sky, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it, and its aura became even more profound and vast.

Bathed in this rich golden light of merit,

Shennong closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then his face showed sincere admiration and satisfaction.

He opened his eyes and laughed loudly:

"Excellent! Excellent sweet potato! Wonderful! Wonderful indeed! This thing is truly a life-saving wonder, benefiting all people, its merit is immeasurable!"

His joyful and admiring expression was clearly seen by Fuxi and Xuanyuan inside the Fire Cloud Cave.

Looking at Shennong's surging merits and radiant appearance outside the cave, Fuxi's expression became somewhat stiff and unnatural.

He tried hard to maintain a smile, but it looked somewhat forced.

Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan frowned deeply, a hint of dissatisfaction and reproach in his eyes, and said to Shennong, who had just returned to the cave:

"Shennong, I must say a few words to you. We three sages are of the same blood and lineage; our words were just spoken a moment ago, how can you..."

However, before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped!

At that very moment, another auspicious cloud of merit, equally magnificent and radiant with golden light, drifted over from the horizon outside the Fire Cloud Cave!

Cola Novels: turn the page and you're in another world.

Yun Zhongzi squinted and looked at them. The two things were ordinary and unremarkable, without any precious light or spiritual energy. They were just ordinary clods of earth.

He said, "In my opinion, they will probably offer incense and merits to you two next as a way to divide yourselves."

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan and Shennong immediately nodded in agreement.

They felt that what Fuxi said made a lot of sense.

Shennong patted his chest and assured him, "Brother, rest assured, we brothers are one. How could mere offerings and merits separate us?"

Xuanyuan also chimed in with magnanimity: "Exactly! How many years have we three sages been of one spirit and one branch? To think that such a small favor can sow discord among us is simply a pipe dream!"

The two spoke with absolute certainty.

At that very moment, the three holy emperors, Fuxi, Shennong, and Xuanyuan, simultaneously sensed something and turned their gazes toward the outside of the Fire Cloud Cave.

Outside the cave, a huge cloud of auspicious merit was seen drifting towards the Fire Cloud Cave, its swirling clouds shimmering with golden light.

All three emperors were startled.

Fuxi frowned slightly: "Hmm? More auspicious clouds of merit?"

Xuanyuan was also somewhat surprised: "Besides the waterwheels and open channels we've already presented, does the Great Shang Dynasty actually have anything else to offer?"

A hint of inquiry flashed in Shennong's eyes: "That's quite strange."

After his initial surprise, Shennong's gaze was firmly fixed on that auspicious cloud.

He suddenly took a step forward, as if to meet him.

Upon seeing Shennong's actions, Xuanyuan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately asked, "Shennong, what do you mean by this? Weren't you just making such a confident promise?"

Shennong's face showed a hint of embarrassment, but he quickly became serious and said, "Brother Xuanyuan, it's not that I'm disregarding our friendship. This merit... I have no choice but to accept!"

He pointed to the auspicious cloud, his voice tinged with excitement: "The power of merit contained within this object is intimately connected to the foundation of my Great Dao! The foundation of my sainthood lies in the agriculture and medicine of humankind! This object aids agriculture and greatly benefits the advancement of my Great Dao!"

Feelings are feelings, but when it comes to matters of fundamental principles, no one can afford to be ambiguous!

Before he could finish speaking, and before Fuxi and Xuanyuan could say anything more, Shennong's figure flashed, transforming into a streak of light and instantly appearing outside the Fire Cloud Cave.

He went straight into the vast cloud of auspicious merit.

Auspicious clouds surged, and a thick beam of golden light of merit poured down like a waterfall, directly into Shennong's body!

As this immense merit entered his body, Shennong's aura suddenly surged!

The already dazzling golden light of merit behind him now surged even more, like the blazing sun in the sky, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it, and its aura became even more profound and vast.

Bathed in this rich golden light of merit,

Shennong closed his eyes and sensed for a moment, then his face showed sincere admiration and satisfaction.

He opened his eyes and laughed loudly:

"Excellent! Excellent sweet potato! Wonderful! Wonderful indeed! This thing is truly a life-saving wonder, benefiting all people, its merit is immeasurable!"

His joyful and admiring expression was clearly seen by Fuxi and Xuanyuan inside the Fire Cloud Cave.

Looking at Shennong's surging merits and radiant appearance outside the cave, Fuxi's expression became somewhat stiff and unnatural.

He tried hard to maintain a smile, but it looked somewhat forced.

Seeing this scene, Xuanyuan frowned deeply, a hint of dissatisfaction and reproach in his eyes, and said to Shennong, who had just returned to the cave:

"Shennong, I must say a few words to you. We three sages are of the same blood and lineage; our words were just spoken a moment ago, how can you..."

However, before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped!

At that very moment, another auspicious cloud of merit, equally magnificent and radiant with golden light, drifted over from the horizon outside the Fire Cloud Cave!
