Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 199 On this day, the immortal recalled the fear of being ruled by the gods.

A night isn't long, but many stories can unfold.

The following morning, guards stood in rows in front of the ancestral worship altar in the central square of Fengdu City, with strict security.

Distinguished guests, please proceed through the passageway in order to the viewing platform.

Standing on the viewing platform, I looked around.

Several enormous statues stand around the square, depicting the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

Each statue is forty-nine feet tall, looking down with an imposing and majestic air.

The viewing platform is circular, with a magnificent sacrificial altar in the center. The altar is divided into nine tiers, each five feet high.

The altar has three tiers and is not yet filled with spirit tablets. It is shaped like a pagoda, but in terms of area, it can hold at least a hundred spirit tablets!

Such a grand altar is rarely seen, not only in the Immortal Realm but also in the mortal realm.

Fusu arrived very early, yesterday afternoon, but he didn't sleep a wink last night.

It's not that I was too excited about today's ceremony to sleep; it's simply because Fusu was disturbed all night last night.

Next door to Fusu, Gongsun Shengxie and the Zhou Dynasty envoys argued all night long.

The Zhou Dynasty delegation first provoked Gongsun Shengxie, mocking him for taking a salary from a celestial being, but in the end, he went to Qin Feng's side to work for him, saying that Gongsun Shengxie was two-faced.

Gongsun Shengxie, a petty and narrow-minded fellow, had never been treated like this before. He immediately retorted, "You bastard, you're just offering me a promise of becoming the Lord of Hell and expecting me to risk my life for you? Do you think I'm stupid?! Qin Feng, on the other hand, is giving me real money, tangible benefits! Compared to that, why would I follow you guys if not Qin Feng? Are you all out of your minds?!"

The Zhou Dynasty envoys were immediately enraged and directly confronted Gongsun Shengxie, revealing all the dirty secrets of Gongsun Shengxie's ancestors for eight generations.

Gongsun Shengxie's fighting spirit soared, and he single-handedly berated the entire group, exposing all sorts of Zhou Tianzi's embarrassing misdeeds. In the end, he even broke through the defenses of three outpost elders of Zhou Tianzi's envoy group, causing two of them to suffer internal demonic possession and go into qi deviation, while the other vomited blood and was seriously injured.

In fact, almost everyone was watching Gongsun Shengxie spew insults at people all night.

One person is attacking two hundred people!

As a result, two hundred people were verbally abused until their faces turned red, and many died or were injured. The scene was a complete mess. In the end, it almost became Gongsun Shengxie's show. Gongsun Shengxie's sharp tongue and down-to-earth cursing methods, including mockery, ridicule, whipping corpses, and bloodletting, were all used on the Zhou Dynasty emperor's envoy group. It was simply cruel!

Gongsun Shengxie's incredible battle record left everyone speechless! They thought he was just so-so, but they never expected his combat power to be so formidable!

Many people also realized that this kid had such formidable fighting power, yet he was twice beaten to a pulp by Qin Feng. Qin Feng's ability to verbally spar was probably even more impressive than his!

"Brother!" Hu Hai pointed around, "Look! The eldest prince of Yan! The second prince of Han, and almost all the princes from Chu, Wei, Qi, and Han have come! Only Zhao is missing! Zhao has sent a princess! How interesting! Is the King of Zhao planning to use a princess to humiliate you, sir?"

However, Fusu did not look at the envoys from the seven kingdoms, but instead looked at the seats of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

This time, the seats of the Hundred Schools of Thought are filled with many experts. At a glance, they are all big shots: the elusive Master Guigu, the contemporary leader of the Mohist school in a bamboo hat and black robe, the Taoist master with a sword in a gray-blue robe, the second head of the Legalist school, the second head of the Military school, the head of the Agricultural school, the Confucian sage Yan Hui, the head of the Gongshu school Gongshu Ban, the head of the Buddhist school...

Not far from the various schools of thought were the powerful figures associated with the Eighteen Blessed Lands. These powerful figures manifested in human form, and although their true forms could not be discerned, each of them was at least a great demon of the eighth realm or above, with some even being ninth-realm demon kings and one or two tenth-realm throne demons.

Such a large and impressive gathering of people is unprecedented in its grandeur.

Judging solely from the cards they've dealt, Qin Feng's hand is practically unbeatable.

Fusu asked himself honestly, even if his father wanted to invite a lot of big shots to gather together, he estimated that many of them would not listen to his father and would not attend.

For someone like Qin Feng to host a dinner party, the guests are either the head of the family or the second-in-command with real power. Such a scene is unprecedented and will never be repeated!

With such a grand scene and such imposing presence, what exactly is Qin Feng trying to do?

"Young Master!" Meng Yi muttered from the side, "Speaking of which, do you know what Qin Feng is up to? All the big shots are about to arrive, and the event is about to start, so why hasn't Qin Feng shown up yet!"

Fusu lowered his voice and asked, "Have you seen Qin Feng these past few days?"

Meng Yi said, "What a ghost! I didn't even see a shadow of him! Where did he go? Did he trick everyone into coming here to play a trick on us?"

The Sword Immortal, sipping his wine, said unhurriedly, "What's the rush! The Master hasn't even arrived yet! Master Meng is coming! Master Meng is Qin Feng's superior; if he dares to act recklessly, Master Meng will give him a good spanking!"

As soon as the Sword Immortal finished speaking, a magnificent purple aura appeared in the sky, stretching across the heavens.

This wisp of purple aura, vast and boundless, like a vertical river from the sky, gently descended from beyond the heavens and landed in Fengdu City. Its scale was beyond imagination!

Along with the majestic purple aura came a series of elegant golden characters, each over ten feet in diameter, their golden light spreading out like shadows and illusions around the azure-colored giant path.

One after another, magnificent golden lotuses bloomed and blossomed, arranged on the left and right, and for a moment, the sound of children reciting the Analects resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

Confucius said: "Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?"

Confucius said: "Listen widely and reserve judgment on what you doubt; speak cautiously about the rest, and you will have few faults. Observe widely and reserve judgment on what you find dangerous; act cautiously about the rest, and you will have few regrets. If you have few faults in your words and few regrets in your actions, then your reward will naturally follow."

Confucius said: "What is the point of practicing benevolence? It must be sagehood! Even Yao and Shun would have found it difficult! The benevolent person, wishing to establish himself, also establishes others; wishing to achieve success, also helps others achieve success. Being able to take what is near at hand as an analogy can be called the method of benevolence."

The image of a sage has appeared, the voice of a sage has arrived, the sage is about to descend!

Everyone present rose in unison, bowed towards the sky, and said, "We respectfully welcome Master Meng!"

Between heaven and earth, the sun and moon vanished, and an old man, stepping on a purple aura of destiny, leisurely landed in the main seat. His long sleeves billowed, and his voice was clear and resonant: "Greetings, sirs! Please be seated!"

Everyone shouted, "Thank you for your seats!"

A grand procession took their seats, and for a moment, all noise ceased as everyone sat upright, awaiting today's grand ceremony.

At that moment, a sharp-eyed person noticed a figure on the altar, who was also bowing in respect.

This person was none other than Qin Feng.

Qin Feng finally appeared.

Sure enough, Master Meng didn't come out, and neither did you. You scoundrel, you always drag your feet and show up at the last second!

Everyone was furious with Qin Feng's habit of being late!

However, even faster, the ancestral worship ceremony had already begun.

Master Meng, seated in the main position, looked down at Qin Feng and called out in a clear, resonant voice, "Qin Feng!"

Qin Feng respectfully replied, "Disciple is here!"

Mencius asked, "What is ancestor worship?"

Qin Feng said, "Paying respects to our ancestors is a great act of filial piety!"

Mencius asked, "Why do we offer sacrifices to our ancestors?"

Qin Feng said, "A year ago, guided by the secret scroll of Qiaoshan, I endured countless hardships and tribulations, finally reaching the legendary Xuanyuan Tomb! After several days of fierce battles within the Xuanyuan Tomb, I ventured deep into its depths and finally arrived at the Xuanyuan Shrine! Upon seeing the dilapidated state of the Xuanyuan Shrine, I felt compassion and vowed to rebuild the ancestral shrine, guiding my ancestors back to their rightful place among the human race, and to continue the dynasty's orthodox destiny!"

Master Meng waved his sleeve and announced in a resounding voice, "The ancestral worship ceremony begins!"

Qin Feng stood up. "Yes, sir!"

Through a series of questions and answers, everyone gained a detailed understanding of ancestor worship.

It turns out that Qin Feng's ancestral worship this time was actually related to the fortuitous encounter he had in the Qiaoshan Secret Realm!

Although most people guessed that the Xuanyuan Tomb might be behind Qiaoshan Mountain, no one had actually seen the Xuanyuan Tomb.

People have only heard the six words: "Xuanyuan collapsed and was buried at Qiaoshan."

Now, someone has actually gone to Xuanyuan Tomb and even returned from it. He must have seen the truth that many people have not seen: whether the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan really died, and where the tombs of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are!

It is important to know that after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, the human race almost lost the worship of the Xuanyuan Temple, and the Zhou Dynasty directly worshipped the Heavenly Man as their ancestor.

Humans refused to kneel before the immortals and could not find their ancestors, thus falling into a brief period of confusion.

Now Qin Feng actually claims to have found the ancestral hall of our ancestors, the Xuanyuan Temple!

That's no small matter!

There's no other reason than that the Xuanyuan Temple can decide one thing: to establish a human king!

Tang of Shang overthrew the Xia Dynasty and successfully became its successor. The Zhou Dynasty overthrew the Shang Dynasty, but could not become its successor.

The biggest reason is that Tang of Shang was recognized by the Xuanyuan Temple and worshipped at the tombs of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Therefore, Tang of Shang was the legitimate human king, recognized by all humankind.

The Zhou Dynasty couldn't even get close to the gate of the Xuanyuan Temple, let alone worship immortals as ancestors. It would be a miracle if the human race could accept that they took heaven and earth as their ancestors.

The existence of the Xuanyuan Temple signifies that whoever unifies the world and then enters the Xuanyuan Temple to worship their ancestors and receive their recognition will be the King of Man! A King of Man in the traditional sense of law and tradition, and one who is in the same lineage as the Xia and Shang dynasties!

This implies that he is the new rightful heir of the human race!

At that very moment, in the Qin King's palace, Ying Zheng, who was watching the live broadcast on a projector, suddenly stood up.

Ying Zheng stepped off the platform and walked to the projection, staring intently at Qin Feng's high-definition face. His fists clenched, and he said, word by word, "The Xuanyuan Tomb truly exists!"

"The Shrine of the King of Men, the King of Men has granted his request!"

"I knew it! If Xuanyuan's tomb exists, then Xuanyuan's shrine should also exist. The exact location of the tombs of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors can be found within Xuanyuan's shrine!"

"As long as one unifies the world and pays homage to one's ancestors, one is the legitimate ruler of the human race and the supreme king of the world! No one dares to defy the will of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!"

"An opportunity, what a great opportunity! Qin Feng, you're such a good strategist! You managed to keep such a big deal a secret until now!"

Meanwhile, compared to Ying Zheng's excitement and the ferocious power of the Qin Dynasty, the other six states, including the Zhou royal family, all felt a chill run down their spines!

The other six countries simply wanted to maintain their separatist rule and perpetuate the division!

The appearance of the Xuanyuan Ancestral Temple signifies the arrival of the era of unification under the Ancestor of Humanity. The fragmented and divisive state of the six states will not be recognized by the Ancestor's Temple. The Ancestor of Humanity only recognizes the strong rulers, just like when Tang of Shang destroyed Xia and unified the world! Thinking about King Ying Zheng of Qin, the rulers of the six states instantly became restless. The appearance of the Ancestor's Temple means that Ying Zheng can openly launch a war of unification without bearing the name of an unrighteous and tyrannical ruler.

Because the ultimate goal of the Ancestral Temple is to maintain the unity of the human race!

Even more panicked than the six states was the Zhou royal family.

The Zhou emperor never imagined that anyone could actually cross the natural barrier, reach Xuanyuan Tomb, or even enter Xuanyuan Temple.

The Zhou emperor never imagined that someone could bring the Xuanyuan Temple out of the Xuanyuan Tomb and allow the ancestral temple to reappear in the world!

The true ancestors have already appeared, so how long can the false ancestors of heaven and man continue to exist? How many more days will the Zhou emperor's good days last?

Inside the Heavenly Gate, Zhang Bairen and the group of immortals behind him stared intently at the live broadcast screen.

When Qin Feng mentioned Xuanyuan Tomb and Xuanyuan Shrine, the faces of the immortals turned extremely grim.

Some of the older immortals even showed fear deep in their eyes, vaguely recalling the various acts of persecution committed by human heroes against the celestial beings, which had been praised by the previous generation of celestial beings.

In the era when humans were in power, the celestial beings lived like the lowly immortals of today. The first rule humans had for immortals was that those who were lazy, idle, and spread falsehoods were not worthy of being human and should be slaves!

In other words, you are slaves, you are not worthy of being human, you immortals are our servants!

In that era,

Beautiful fairies are abducted by powerful humans as spoils of war, and various elixirs of immortals must be provided to the human kings free of charge. Every thirty to fifty years, the human kings will find various reasons to slaughter large numbers of celestial beings and severely kill a large number of immortals, keeping the number of immortals in a small group. The immortals are powerless to resist them, and if they dare to resist, they will be suppressed by humans a hundred times over!

Iron-fisted suppression, no forgiveness, gods led the army, the glorious sun shattered all immortal laws!

The Holy Body is like a mountain, insurmountable. One Holy Body, along with several divine beings, can easily slaughter hundreds of thousands of immortals!

That was the era of the human race, where a god-like being emerged every ten years and a saintly being emerged every hundred years. At its peak, during the reign of King Yu the Great, there were hundreds of saintly beings and over one hundred thousand god-like beings.

When King Yu went to war, he was followed by more than a hundred holy beings and a hundred thousand gods, who covered the sky and the earth. What ancient alien species or extraterrestrial demons were nothing but fleeting clouds in the face of absolute power!

King Yu followed the waterways from north to south and from west to east, slaughtering all the immortals in the three realms of heaven and earth, forcing them to flee and hide in caves, daring not to show themselves. He also led the human race to establish the Xia Dynasty with overwhelming momentum!

That was the glorious history of the human race!

It's also the dark history of immortals!

But now, it seems the immortals' good days are coming to an end.

Even though Haotian created the Heavenly Court back then, and even though Haotian and Zhuanxu fought several times, trying to deviate from the Heavenly Court, Haotian was always utterly defeated by Zhuanxu! So much so that Zhuanxu eventually instigated Xingtian to challenge Haotian! Xingtian clashed with the Emperor, and although Haotian beheaded him, Haotian was also severely injured by Xingtian and ultimately ascended to heaven in despair. The ancient Heavenly Court vanished into nothingness, while Xingtian was resurrected by Zhuanxu and enshrined in the Temple of Human Ancestors, enjoying the destiny of the human race!

Zhang Bairen noticed the low morale of his own faction and said in a cold voice, "What is there to fear! Qin Feng only went to Xuanyuan Tomb! He may not have actually seen those human heroes!"

The fairy in the palace dress beside her hurriedly added, "Besides, so much time has passed since the fall of the Shang Dynasty! Without incense offerings, those heroic spirits should have long since vanished!"

Zhang Bairen and the fairy's words did little to soften the gazes of the elderly immortals. There was a generation gap between them and Zhang Bairen; they were the conservative faction led by the old Taibai, while Zhang Bairen was the radical young faction.

Under these circumstances, no one can guarantee that all the spirits of the heroes in the Xuanyuan Shrine are truly dead. The only thing everyone blames is Qin Feng: why was he able to get to the Xuanyuan Tomb?

The immortals' gazes all turned to Taibai.

Taibai stood there quietly and recited, "I said back then that the Nine-Tailed Fox must be killed! Yet you spared her life! It's nothing more than Fan Li giving up his wealth in exchange for your forgiveness, and then suppressing his daughter!"

"Now it's all right! The Nine-Tailed Fox secretly slipped out to help Qin Feng, returned to Xuanyuan Tomb, and released Xuanyuan Shrine!"

"Have you gotten what you wanted now?"

"If we had killed that nine-tailed fox demon back then, would Qin Feng have found Xuanyuan Tomb today? Would he have been able to enter Xuanyuan Shrine?"

At this moment, a cold voice emanated from behind a golden-armored immortal, "Back then, all the masters of the Hundred Schools of Thought came out, and Laozi's disciple Yin Xi even used Hangu Pass as a shield to resist the celestial army! With the Tao Te Ching activated, we simply couldn't conquer Huanxi! How could we possibly kill the Nine-Tailed Fox! Moreover, you took the most of Fan Li's wealth! You were the one who set up the natural barrier of the Three Calamities, Five Disasters, Seven Tribulations, and Eight Calamities, Taibai, you should be held responsible for this!"

Taibai sneered, "Take responsibility? Fine!"

"I'll give you a responsible solution, one that can be implemented right now! Qin Feng hasn't fully summoned the ancestral hall yet, so now is the perfect opportunity!"

"Kill Qin Feng before he rebuilds the Xuanyuan Shrine!"

The golden-armored deity coldly said, "Easier said than done! Qin Feng is cunning and treacherous. He knew we would execute him, so he specially invited all the powerful forces of the human race, and almost all the heads of the various schools of thought are present. Even Master Meng himself is here. Who can kill him?"

Zhang Bairen said coldly, "Why can't we kill them? Three hundred thousand heavenly soldiers from Qiaoshan! Immediately send the Qiaoshan troops to attack Qin Feng! Let the heavenly soldiers descend and wipe out all these human experts!"

The golden-armored deity glanced at Zhang Bairen. "Are you insane? To wipe out so many human experts in one fell swoop! The heavenly army will suffer heavy losses. What if Qin Feng has another ambush?"

Zhang Bairen waved his sleeve, glanced around at the densely packed celestial beings, and sneered, "One by one, you're all hesitant and indecisive! Don't you understand the principle that hesitation leads to chaos?"

"Back then, you bunch of good-for-nothings couldn't even kill a nine-tailed fox demon properly, almost causing a rift between the human realm and the celestial realm!"

"Now that I'm here to do things, you keep obstructing me. What do you mean? Continue on your way, let Qin Feng complete the ancestral worship ceremony, and build the Xuanyuan Temple. At that point, not only will the Underworld be doomed, but even the Human Realm will be lost!"

"Li Bai's words make sense; killing Qin Feng is the fastest and most effective method!"

"I've made up my mind about this!"

"Heavenly soldiers of Qiaoshan, descend to the mortal realm immediately and raze Fengdu to the ground!"

Zhang Bairen's voice echoed within the Heavenly Gate, and all the celestial beings remained silent. They knew that the celestial beings were facing a crisis. Zhang Bairen's method might be rash, but it was the most appropriate method.

It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost!

Taibai asked, "But what about Master Meng?"

Zhang Bairen laughed heartily, "Master is indeed invincible. Under his destiny, even ordinary saints are not worthy to carry his shoes. But if I were to fuse with the Ten-Reincarnation Body, could I kill Master?"

Taibai was taken aback. "No! The Ten-Reincarnation Body is not yet mature. If something goes wrong, your soul will be bound!"

"Why not? What time is it now! Still worrying about these details!" Zhang Bairen angrily rebuked, "Being submissive will only cause us to miss the opportunity! Qin Feng's ancestral worship ceremony has already begun. At most five hours to complete all the procedures of the ceremony, once the human race and the Xuanyuan Shrine complete the connection of their destinies, and the vast human destiny rushes into the Xuanyuan Tomb, can you imagine the consequences if those heroic spirits are resurrected?"

"Those ancient human heroes, gods, and holy beings who once regarded the celestial beings as slaves will surge forth and, with their bare hands, extract each of the celestial beings' bones to build a work of art like a bone tower!"

"These guys, they're capable of anything against the Celestials!"

"They are the real Butchers of Gods!"

Taibai sighed helplessly, glancing at everyone. "Since that's the case, then let's follow Bai Ren's advice: this battle can only be won, not lost! All immortal lords, depart now! The secret passage of Qiaoshan leads directly to Fengdu! Heavenly soldiers will descend to the mortal realm, flatten Fengdu, and annihilate Qin Feng!"

The celestial beings, in a vast and resounding voice, replied, "Yes!"

"promise!"

"..."
