Chapter 104: Fuxi Visits the Pangu Palace, Xuan Chu Reveals the Truth
On the day Shennong attained enlightenment and perfected his virtues, his beloved young daughter, Nüwa, returned. For Shennong, this was a double blessing. He then swore an oath to the Great Dao and the Earthly Dao.
As soon as Shennong finished speaking, the Kongtong Seal in Xuan Chu's hand shone brightly and emitted a series of buzzing sounds. A golden light of fortune flew from the Kongtong Seal to Shennong. Then, from nine heavens away, a thunderclap sounded, and a golden pillar of merit fell down, splitting into four parts.
Seventy percent fell on Shennong, twenty percent on Kong Xuan, the teacher of the Human Emperor, and half a percent each on Shennong's whip and Shennong's Hundred Herbs Classic, all of which became acquired meritorious spiritual treasures.
Bathed in the holy light of merit, Shennong's cultivation level began to rise, from the late Golden Immortal stage to the mid-quasi-saint stage. Shennong's merit was not as much as Fuxi's, and Fuxi also had the added benefit of his previous life's cultivation, so Shennong could only reach the mid-quasi-saint stage. However, this cultivation level was second only to Fuxi in the entire human race, making him the sixth quasi-saint powerhouse of the human race.
Apart from Fuxi, who was at the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, Cangjie, Suiren, Ziyi, and Youchao were all at the early stage of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm. Moreover, apart from Fuxi, the others broke through to the Quasi-Saint realm by relying on merit and did not cultivate the Xuanmen's method of severing the three corpses. Therefore, in terms of combat power, Fuxi could defeat all of them by himself.
However, with six Quasi-Saints among the clan, including one at the peak of Quasi-Sainthood and one at the mid-stage of Quasi-Sainthood, they were no weaker than when the Lich King was at his peak, and the human race's position as the overlord of the prehistoric world was once again solidified.
On the other side, after absorbing the merits of two human emperors, Kong Xuan's cultivation began to soar, reaching the late stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. He was only one step away from breaking through to the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, which relieved Kong Xuan. He had finally not disappointed Tongtian.
Kong Xuan nodded with satisfaction. Although Shennong's strength far surpassed his own, the master-disciple relationship was already established and could not be changed. Moreover, Shennong did not look down on his teacher because of his profound cultivation, which made Kong Xuan very happy.
"Shennong, you have attained the Holy Throne of the Human Emperor. From now on, you will sit in the Holy Temple of the Human Race and wait for the birth of the next Human Emperor." Xuan Chu said to Shennong. Becoming the Human Emperor does not mean that Shennong can ignore the affairs of the human race. At the very least, before the birth of the next human race leader, Shennong is still the human race leader.
"Disciple obeys!" Shennong replied.
After Shennong's enlightenment ceremony, Tongtian and Kong Xuan returned to Jin'ao Island. It is worth mentioning that Kong Xuan took the girl with him when he left, saying that he would take her back to Jin'ao Island to raise her personally.
Before Xuan Chu left, Fu Xi mustered his courage and called out to him, anxiously asking, "May I ask the Daoist Master how the Holy Mother is doing?" This matter had been weighing on Fu Xi's mind for a long time, and he had finally had the opportunity to ask Xuan Chu after Shen Nong's enlightenment was over.
"Fuxi, if you want to know about Nuwa, come to the Pangu Palace." After saying this, Xuan Chu flew away.
Upon returning to the Pangu Palace, Xuan Chu immediately sent a telepathic message to Hou Tu, asking her to come to the Pangu Palace.
"Houtu greets Uncle!" Soon, Houtu received Xuan Chu's message and arrived at the Pangu Palace.
"No need for formalities!" Xuan Chu nodded and said, "Hou Tu, the Earth Emperor of the Human Race has returned to his position. Five hundred years later, the Tai Emperor will be born. You should quickly arrange for Chi You's reincarnation." This matter has been planned for a long time. Back then, Xuan Chu took the initiative to give the position of Tai Emperor's teacher to Hong Jun, intending to secretly support Chi You and defeat Xuan Yuan, so that the position of Tai Emperor's teacher would still belong to Xuan Chu's lineage.
"Yes, Uncle, Houtu will make the arrangements immediately," Houtu replied. She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
"Reporting to the Great Ancestor of the Witch, the Human Emperor Fuxi is outside requesting an audience!" At this moment, Hou Yi's voice came from outside the Pangu Palace.
"Fuxi is here? Uncle, what is Fuxi doing at the Pangu Palace?" Houtu was very curious when she heard that Fuxi had come. Although Fuxi had been reincarnated as a human, he was a demon in his previous life. One of the places Fuxi least wanted to go in the entire prehistoric world was the Pangu Palace. Why did he suddenly come back to the Pangu Palace today?
"It was I who sent him. Houtu, you should return to the Netherworld and make arrangements for Chi You's reincarnation," Xuan Chu said.
"Yes!" Although Houtu was very curious about Fuxi's purpose, she couldn't press him further since Xuan Chu didn't say.
Houtu walked out of the Pangu Palace and saw Houyi and Fuxi.
"Hou Yi (Fu Xi) pays respects to the benevolent goddess Hou Tu!" Hou Yi and Fu Xi bowed to Hou Tu.
"Hmm!" Houtu nodded lightly and said, "Fuxi, your uncle invites you in." Then she left.
After Houtu left, Houyi said to Fuxi, "Emperor Fuxi, since your uncle wants you to go in, you should go in by yourself. I won't keep you company any longer."
"Thank you for your help, Ancestral Witch Hou Yi."
Fuxi entered the Pangu Palace and bowed to Xuan Chu, saying, "Fuxi pays respects to Daoist Xuan Chu, wishing you a long and prosperous life!"
"No need for formalities!" Xuan Chu waved his hand and said, "Fu Xi, you've finally come."
"Daoist Venerable," Fuxi said with a wry smile, "Although Nuwa has become a saint and Fuxi has been reincarnated as a human, Nuwa is still Fuxi's sister. Knowing my sister as I do, she would never miss the return of the Human Emperor. I knew something must have happened since she didn't come this time. It's just a pity that my cultivation is too low to help my sister. I beg Daoist Venerable for guidance."
For a fleeting moment, Xuan Chu was moved by the brotherly and sisterly affection between Fuxi and Nuwa. In the prehistoric world, a place of fame and fortune, affection is the most precious thing. Even close friends like the Three Pure Ones can turn against each other. There are very few who can remain steadfast in their feelings.
Xuan Chu nodded and said, "Fu Xi, you're right, Nuwa has indeed encountered an accident."
"May I ask the Daoist Master, how is my sister now?" Upon hearing Xuan Chu say that Nuwa was truly in trouble, Fuxi was extremely anxious.
"Nuwa is not in immediate danger, but she is currently imprisoned in the Nuwa Palace, isolated from the outside world. That's why you can't contact Nuwa, and Nuwa can't sense anything from the outside world either." Xuan Chu explained Nuwa's situation to Fuxi.
"Imprisoned? Nuwa is a Heavenly Saint. Who has such great power to imprison a Heavenly Saint?" Fuxi was shocked to hear that Nuwa was imprisoned in the Nuwa Palace. Nuwa was a Heavenly Saint. Who was so bold as to imprison a Heavenly Saint?
Xuan Chu smiled confidently and said, "Fu Xi, how many people in the entire prehistoric world do you think could imprison a Heavenly Dao Saint?"
"Is it the teacher?" Upon hearing Xuan Chu's reminder, Fu Xi understood. The Heavenly Dao Saints were the most powerful beings in the prehistoric world, and only a handful of people could imprison them. First of all, it couldn't be Xuan Chu. After all, if Xuan Chu had imprisoned Nuwa, he would never have told Fu Xi the truth. Moreover, Xuan Chu was an enemy of the Heavenly Dao. If Xuan Chu dared to imprison Nuwa, the Heavenly Dao and Hongjun would be the first to object. Since it wasn't Xuan Chu, then only Hongjun remained.
"Why did Master imprison Nuwa?" Fuxi murmured. He couldn't accept this outcome and couldn't understand why Hongjun would imprison Nuwa.
"Fuxi, when you attained enlightenment, according to the plan of Heaven and Hongjun, all of you human emperors were to be imprisoned in the Fire Cloud Cave to control the fate of the human race and achieve the goal of manipulating the human race. However, due to my intervention, you were able to stay in the Holy Temple of the human race. Think carefully about what Nuwa's attitude was back then," Xuan Chu said.
Fuxi carefully recalled the circumstances of his enlightenment. Back then, Taishang, in the name of Hongjun, sent him to Huoyun Cave. Nuwa was the first to jump out and question Taishang. Later, due to Xuanchu's intervention, he was able to stay in the Human Race Temple. Throughout this process, Nuwa supported him. Could it be because of this that Hongjun imprisoned Nuwa?
"It seems you've figured it out!" Xuan Chu smiled when he saw Fu Xi's expression of sudden realization and said, "Sending the Emperor to the Fire Cloud Cave was the will of Heaven and Hongjun. Nuwa dared to disobey their will, which in the eyes of Heaven and Hongjun was undoubtedly a betrayal. That's why Nuwa was imprisoned in the Nuwa Palace."
