I'm just an ornamental fish in the water.

When immortals and gods travel, they naturally do not walk on the ground.

Moreover, the chariot was driven by a dragon-horse, so the Lady of Luoshui's chariot was flying through the clouds.

Jiang Li sat outside the carriage, watching the white clouds below suddenly recede, her legs crossed, her hands supporting her chin, somewhat bored.

"Brother Jiang, bored?"

A guard riding a dragon horse came over and asked with a smile.

"There are some."

Jiang Li nodded.

The guard laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's only a quarter of an hour or two's journey, it'll be quick."

"Um?"

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment before realizing that Shouyang Mountain and Luoshui were actually not far apart, and that the one or two quarters of an hour was the result of deliberately suppressing the dragon horse's speed.

Was this location chosen by His Majesty Fuxi on purpose, or was it a coincidence?

Jiang Li couldn't help but let her thoughts wander.

This grand assembly was held so that His Majesty Fuxi could appoint his four sons as gods of the four seasons.

His Majesty Fuxi established the Eight Trigrams and clarified the four seasons and twenty-four solar terms, so it was most appropriate for his son to be in charge of the cycle of the four seasons.

Given such a status and position, and such a special and important divine role, choosing Shouyang Mountain, the ancestral home of humanity, as the location is naturally a perfect match.

It appears to be a location chosen entirely in accordance with regulations.

But then again, there are similar places.

Jiang Li turned around and glanced at the curtain behind her.

Perhaps it was intentional?

Jiang Li thought to herself silently.

The dragon-horse neighed, and Shouyang Mountain was already in sight.

At this moment, Shouyang Mountain may still look the same to ordinary people, but it is different in the eyes of cultivators with high attainment.

A surging purple aura, like flames, billowed from Shouyang Mountain, as if it were about to set the entire mountain ablaze.

That overwhelming aura inspires awe from the bottom of one's heart, even just from a glance.

Especially those people around Lady Luoshui's carriage, most of whom were aquatic beings who had attained enlightenment, felt their true qi within their bodies stop flowing and their bodies stiffen under the suppression of the almost tangible great fortune of humanity.

Only a few human guards were still able to maintain normal activities.

Jiang Li sat on the carriage frame, her expression somewhat strange.

Because he did not feel the suppression of the great fortune of humanity, but instead felt a sense of comfort all over his body.

This feeling is both familiar and strange.

Jiang Li couldn't help but recall when she entered Luoyang City, she was also overwhelmed by the worldly atmosphere and the great fortune of humanity in Luoyang City at the city gate.

But it quickly returned to normal.

At the time, he thought that Master Ge beside him had given him some blessing, but now it seems that he himself has some kind of supernatural power.

Is it because of my soul?

Jiang Li pondered silently.

Compared to the so-called origins of the alien red carp, what Jiang Li values ​​more is naturally the will of someone who was once born as a human.

"Buzz..."

Just then, a pale blue light flashed from inside the carriage frame. After the light swept over them, the Luoshui aquatic creatures immediately felt a sense of relief, and the oppressive force disappeared.

"Shouyang Mountain is the ancestral land of the human race. Even human cultivators who enter it will have their true qi sealed and will fall from the clouds."

A somewhat complex voice came from inside the carriage.

"Yes."

Everyone agreed, and the guards controlling the dragon horse began to descend to the ground.

Before long, they reached the ground, and Shouyang Mountain was already close at hand. The closer they got, the stronger the human fortune became.

After the dragon-horse pulling the cart traveled for about two or three miles, they finally arrived at the foot of Shouyang Mountain.

Suddenly, two teams of armored warriors clad in golden armor and wielding long spears appeared on the main road ahead. In front of the two teams of warriors stood a man dressed in simple linen clothes and with a short beard.

"Who is this visitor? Please show me your invitation."

The man approached, cupped his hands in a respectful bow, and adopted a businesslike demeanor.

Jiang Li frowned, glanced back, and saw a guard holding a long plaque on each side of the carriage.

The long plaque has "Luoshui" written on one side and "Chu Xun" on the other.

Anyone with eyesight can tell that this is the carriage frame of the Goddess of Luoshui.

The man in hemp clothing before them was clearly a human.

The human race, who are responsible for welcoming and seeing off guests at the grand event personally presided over by His Majesty Fuxi, are so lacking in discernment.

Discontinued?

Jiang Li was a little confused. It was you who invited my lady here, but it was you who instructed her to stop her at the door.

What exactly does His Majesty, the first sovereign of the human race, intend to do?

"I am the Goddess of the Luo River, and I have come to this gathering because of His Majesty King Yu's kindness."

The carriage curtain was lifted, and Lady Luoshui stepped out. Her face was covered by a light veil, making her expression unreadable. She spoke in a calm tone, and with a flick of her sleeve, the invitation fluttered away.

"The invitation is here; please examine it."

Upon seeing Lady Luoshui emerge, the man in hemp clothing instinctively reached out to bow, but he forced himself to do so, instead taking the invitation and opening it.

Jiang Li curled her lips. They already recognized her, so why were they still pretending?

The man in hemp clothing held the invitation and examined it closely, as if it contained some profound mystery, remaining silent for a long time.

Lady Luoshui did not urge them, but simply waited quietly.

After a long while, the man in hemp clothing closed the invitation, cupped his hands, and said, "So you are the River God of the Luo River, please."

Lady Luoshui neither stepped down from her carriage nor accepted the invitation; she simply looked down at the man in hemp clothing.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Li alighted from the carriage, accepted the invitation and put it away, then turned and said, "Spur the dragon horse, turn the carriage around, and return to the Luoshui Divine Palace!"

Upon hearing this, before the Luoshui guards could make a move, the man in hemp clothing couldn't help but step forward and say, "What do you mean by this, sir? You just attended the meeting and haven't even entered yet, why are you going back?"

Jiang Li looked at him, bowed respectfully, then straightened up and said indifferently, "My lady is of noble birth and has already come to this gathering out of respect for His Majesty King Yu. Now, before she has even entered, she has already been humiliated. If she doesn't leave, does she intend to continue to be humiliated by you all?"

These words were blunt and biting, causing the man in hemp clothing to pause for a moment.

He subconsciously looked up at Lady Luoshui, his expression somewhat embarrassed and troubled.

Seeing that Lady Luoshui made no comment, the man in hempen clothes bowed to the carriage and performed a very archaic gesture.

"Your subject, Ji Tong, respectfully welcomes the noblewoman Feng, daughter of the Fuxi clan..."

"You are mistaken."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Li violently interrupted him, even stepping forward and standing between Ji Tong and the carriage, preventing him from directly facing Lady Luoshui.

"My lady is not a noblewoman of the Fuxi clan, but a noblewoman of the Jiang clan of the Shennong Lieshan clan, named Jiang Mi."

Jiang Li kept a straight face, but her heart was pounding.

If I remember correctly, when Emperor Fuxi was the ruler of the human race, he had six trusted ministers, known as the "Six Assistants".

Among the six assistants, the one in charge of personnel and internal affairs, equivalent to the Minister of Personnel in a human dynasty, seems to be named Ji Tong...

An undisputed great sage of the human race.

But now he finds himself confronting such a great sage.

Despite being interrupted so rudely by Jiang Li, Ji Tong's expression remained unchanged; in fact, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

He didn't bother arguing with Jiang Li, nor did he try to refute her. Instead, he bowed again, his voice even more solemn than before.

"Ji Tong, a minister of His Majesty Fuxi, the Emperor of the Human Race."

"Welcome to Shouyang Mountain, Princess Jiang Mi, a noblewoman of the Lieshan clan, descended from the Earthly Sovereign Yan Emperor Shennong!"
