Chapter 248 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.

When Jiang Ziya went down the mountain, Nuwa also summoned the three demons from Xuanyuan Tomb and asked them to enter the Shang Dynasty to disrupt the government and provide an excuse for Xiqi to attack Shang in the future.

Looking at the three demons in front of her, Nuwa immediately made a promise: "After the Shang Dynasty is destroyed, I will grant you three a share of the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit!"

"Thank you, empress!"

When the three demons heard this, they were overjoyed and did not doubt Nuwa's words at all.

At the same time, the day for the princes to pay tribute was approaching. The four princes, namely Jiang Huanchu, Marquis of the East, Chonghouhu, Marquis of the North, Ji Chang, Marquis of the West, and E Chongyu, Marquis of the South, as well as eight hundred princes from all over the world, set out on the road to Chaoge.

only……

But some are happy, while others are sad!

The daughter of Jiang Hengchu, Marquis of Dongbo, is now the queen of the Shang Dynasty. She gave birth to two sons for Emperor Xin and has the closest relationship with the Shang Dynasty.

Therefore, there was not much worry about the tribute.

Chonghouhu, the Marquis of Beibo, was also a die-hard supporter of the Shang Dynasty. He obeyed Emperor Xin's orders and was loyal to him. He was not worried that Emperor Xin would suddenly attack him.

However, Ji Chang, the Duke of Xibo, and E Chongyu, the Duke of Nanbo, could not sit still. In recent years, Emperor Xin had been constantly weakening their influence.

Obviously, he is very dissatisfied with them!

One day, Ji Chang was on his way to pay tribute and passed through Yanshan Mountain. He happened to encounter a thunderstorm and was planning to find a place to shelter from the rain, but he saw a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket falling down, and suddenly a baby appeared in front of him.

This baby is the innate star god Emperor Gou Chen, who has returned from the catastrophe of losing me in Daluo. He has amazing blessings and should have been accepted as a disciple by Yun Zhongzi.

“It is said that Dou Mu Yuanjun is the mother of all stars. Ziwei, Gou Chen, Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang were all born because of her!” Han Yi secretly watched this scene and couldn’t help but sighed: “The real Ziwei has been reincarnated as Bo Yikao, and now Gou Chen has also emerged from the calamity. I wonder… Will the other seven Daluo star gods also return from the calamity of losing me in Daluo!”

Based on what he learned in his previous life, he had been waiting here for a long time, with the purpose of intercepting Lei Zhenzi before Yun Zhongzi arrived.

Yun Zhongzi is different from the Twelve Golden Immortals. He is a true Golden Immortal of virtue and has never been tainted by killing. He met Lei Zhenzi purely because of good luck.

When Ji Chang heard the baby crying, he was about to ask someone to check it out, but he saw a person walking out of the void and picking up the baby directly.

Upon seeing this situation, Ji Chang immediately realized that he had met a god!
"Please stay, Immortal!"

Ji Chang called out loudly.

Upon hearing this, Han Yi stopped immediately and turned to ask, "Does the Marquis have any advice?"

To be honest, there is a causal relationship between him and King Ji Chang of Xibo.

That's right!

It's the acquired gossip!

The Eight Trigrams of the Later Heaven that should have been deduced by Ji Chang was brought out by him in advance for some reason, thus intercepting the merit and fortune that should have belonged to Ji Chang.

Moreover, the Postnatal Eight Trigrams were mastered by Han Yi when Ji Chang was imprisoned in Youli in the previous life and he had nothing to do so he asked Ji Chang for advice.

Ji Chang trotted all the way to Han Yi and asked, "May I ask the immortal's name?"

"Han Yi!"

Han Yi did not hide this.

"National Division?"

Ji Chang was stunned when he heard this.

He practiced the art of divination, so naturally he knew the origin of the Eight Trigrams. He also knew that the Shang Dynasty had a national teacher who was the same age as the country and was elusive.

Unexpectedly, I met him today!

"Chang, I need the advice of the Imperial Master!"

Ji Chang was very humble.

Han Yi heard this and sighed, "I know what you want to ask. I also know that you have been in contact with disciples of the Chan Sect, and I know that you can't let go of the hatred of your father's murder! But some things can't be forced! If you really have a rebellious heart, although you may succeed, it will inevitably endanger your life and offspring!"

Ji Chang stood there in a daze.

He was well versed in divination and figured out that this trip would be disastrous, but when he heard Han Yi express his thoughts, he still felt a sense of panic.

"Please, Master, save me!"

Ji Chang kowtowed quickly.

Han Yi thought for a moment and said, "This disaster is difficult to resolve. Either you return to Xiqi immediately and don't pay tribute. Perhaps you can avoid the fate of being imprisoned!"

"but……"

"If you don't pay tribute, it will be tantamount to rebellion, and Xiqi will surely be in danger of war!"

Ji Chang's current situation is the same as that of Cheng Tang in the past. He is in a dilemma. Whether he goes to pay tribute or not, he will encounter a disaster.

"This……"

Ji Chang was very nervous when he heard this.

Because what Han Yi said was exactly the same as what he calculated.

"However, this trip is not entirely a bad thing!" Han Yi suddenly laughed and said, "Being imprisoned, there is still a day when the trapped dragon will ascend to heaven!" He paused and asked, "Have you ever read the "Records of Ancient Sages" and studied Cangjie and Emperor Xuanyuan? Which one is about freedom?"

Ji Chang nodded.

As a local lord, he had learned how to govern a country since he was young, and he could recite the classic "Records of Ancient Sages" by heart.

Chapter 20 of Records of Ancient Sages records the story of Cangjie creating characters and enlightening Xuanyuan.

……

Xuanyuan was defeated by Chiyou several times, the army's morale was unstable and fell to the bottom.

When he was patrolling the tribe, he saw Cang Jie writing and drawing on the ground, so he went up to him and asked, "Shi Huang, what are you doing?"

Shi Huang family!
This is the name of Cangjie’s tribe!
Upon seeing this, Cang Jie quickly replied: "I want to create a language that belongs to the human race, to record the history of the human race and those great sages!"

"history?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanyuan immediately revealed a bitter smile: "Suiren ignited the fire of human civilization, Ziyi sewed clothes to distinguish humans from beasts, Youchao made humans no longer vulnerable to wind and rain, Emperor Fuxi domesticated livestock and evolved the Eight Diagrams, and Emperor Shennong cultivated grains and tasted hundreds of herbs himself, all of which made great contributions to the human race! But when it comes to me, it's nothing but failure. In the future history of the human race, I'm afraid there won't be another... human emperor as failed as me!"

Cang Jie frowned slightly: "A temporary failure is nothing. Your Majesty, don't underestimate yourself. Just like me, I failed countless times in creating characters, but I didn't give up. Your Majesty, how many times have you failed?"

After hearing this, Xuanyuan felt suddenly enlightened.

Cangjie never gave up after failing so many times, so how could he give up so easily?
Xuanyuan talked to Cangjie: "When I was born, some people said that I would be the future emperor of mankind. I have been working hard for this goal. But now it seems that I have lost a lot of freedom!"

"Free?"

When Cang Jie heard this, he seemed to have an inspiration and wrote the word "freedom" on the ground.

Seeing this, Xuanyuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you have so many rules and regulations when it comes to the word freedom?"

Cang Jie smiled, added another stroke to the top of the two characters, and said, "But there is always a stroke that breaks out of the cage, don't you think so, Your Majesty?"

"Freedom is good, but it must also conform to the rules. The freedom of the strong should be bounded by the freedom of the weak. This is why I follow Your Majesty!"

"Chi You has killed too many people. Although he has won many victories, he is not a suitable emperor!"

"Your Majesty, if you stick to your original intention and regroup, you may be like the word 'freedom', and one day you will ascend to heaven like a trapped dragon!"

Xuanyuan suddenly realized.

……

Ji Chang recalled the story in the Records of Sages and asked, "Could it be that the Imperial Master thinks that I can accomplish something as great as the Holy Emperor?"

"That's right!"

Han Yi nodded and said, "However, this road is destined to be full of thorns. The bright and beautiful throne must be built of millions of corpses, including some of your own flesh and blood. Do you realize this, my Lord?"

Ji Chang remained silent.

Han Yi took out a jade slip and handed it to Ji Chang, saying, "I am meeting with you today. This is some of my insights about the innate and acquired eight trigrams. I hope it will be of some help to you!"

After saying that, he directly activated the Avenue of Time and Space and left Yanshan with Lei Zhenzi.

……

Yuchen Realm.

Han Yi looked at the baby in front of him and couldn't help laughing: "Gou Chen! Gou Chen! This is really a great opportunity, enough for me to take a step further!"

The practice of the Daluo Jinxian realm can be divided into three stages if it is broken down, namely, the Tao has no beginning or end, the Tao leaves traces, and the Tao penetrates all heavens.

The Tao has no beginning or end, which means that all the imprints, incarnations of others and the like in the long river of time and space are taken back, and all the great powers belong to oneself. The Tao has no beginning and no end. Once the Tao is realized, it has the characteristics of Daluo in any time and space, and it cannot be erased from the time when it was weak by means of time and space or cause and effect.

This realm is Han Yi’s current realm.

Daluo, once you prove it, it will last forever!
The Dao Shadow Leaves Traces takes itself as the origin, allowing its own Dao to radiate infinite time and space, giving rise to countless existences that are similar to itself but are not.

It sounds somewhat similar to his incarnation in the celestial realm, but it is completely different. It involves authority, cause and effect, and fate.

There is a shortcut to practicing at this level, which is to "infect" other Daluo Jinxian with the Dao and turn their Dao into your own.

At the beginning, Lugui was the greedy person who wanted to swallow an elephant. After refining the essence of the great wizard Chongli and the nine golden crows, he intended to use this cause and effect connection to "infect" the demon emperor Dijun and the ancestor of fire Zhurong, so that he could become the demon king and the ancestor wizard, and thus obtain the fruits of the two's hard practice for countless epochs.

But, he failed!

There is a huge risk in "Dao Ran" other Daluo Jinxian. If you are not careful, not only will you fail to seize the Dao fruit, but you may also become the nourishment for others.

Lugui is an example!
He failed to "infect" the demon emperor Jun with Taoism, and was "infected" by Taoism instead, which became an opportunity for him to return from the calamity of losing me in Daluo!
The reason why Han Yi intercepted Lei Zhenzi was to take advantage of the fact that Emperor Gou Chen had not yet fully recovered and "influenced" the great Dao of Emperor Gou Chen.

Once it’s done!
From now on, whether in the past or in the future, whether in the ancient world or in the heavens and myriad worlds, he is the new "Emperor Gou Chen"!
When he occupies the great road of "Emperor Gou Chen", his Daluo Dao Fruit will also undergo a qualitative change, and he will directly step into the state of leaving a trace of Dao.

Of course, the risks are not small!

However, Han Yi has calculated it tens of millions of times, so he will not give up easily.

after all……

The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!
