Chapter 289: The New King of Xiqi, the Mandate of Heaven
Kunlun Mountains.
After hearing Fuxi's voice and realizing that his own luck was being lost, Taiqing Laozi's face darkened: "Fuxi is really impatient!"
During this catastrophe, the Human Sect lost several outer disciples, which was not a serious loss. However, what made him angry was that the Kongtong Seal was taken away by Fuxi.
Without the Kongtong Seal, he was left with only one person to teach the title of the leader and the cause and effect of the Golden Elixir Dao. The luck of the human race that he could obtain was reduced by two-thirds.
Moreover, even with the protection of the Tiandi Xuanhuang Linglong Tower, a treasure of acquired merit, he still lost dozens of Yuanhui of cultivation under the curse of the Six Soul Banner.
He is too clear-headed and claims to look down on all living things in the world. When has he ever suffered such a great loss?
However, I am afraid of comparison in everything.
Compared with Yuanshi Tianzun, his condition is undoubtedly much better.
There are only four disciples left from the second generation of the Chan Sect: Taoist Cihang, Manjusri Bodhisattva, Samantabhadra, and Huanglong. There are only a few disciples left from the third generation: Yang Jian, Han Dulong, Xue Ehu, etc. The others are all on the list, and even the protective Zhutian Qingyun has fallen into the hands of Han Yi from the Jie Sect.
Moreover, in the Zhuxian Sword Formation, Yuanshi Tianzun was given special attention by Tongtian Jiaozhu, and his Six Soul Banner, God-killing Spear, End of Sword Qi and other means were used without reservation, directly reducing his cultivation by nearly a hundred Yuanhui… Today, Yuanshi Tianzun, without relying on magic weapons, has the same level of cultivation as Zhunti, who owes countless merits to the Heavenly Dao.
Today, Yuanshi Tianzun is still constantly relying on the power of Heaven to wash away and remove the power of curse that is attached to his soul like a maggot on his tarsal bone.
"Next time, I will never lose again!"
Although Yuanshi Tianzun suffered a great blow this time, after experiencing failure, his Tao heart became clearer, and he even had a hint of the idea of breaking down and then rebuilding.
He looked at Taiqing Laozi: "Brother, we lost this time! But a temporary victory or defeat cannot determine the superiority between me and Tongtian Avenue! The disciples of Jiejiao have gone into seclusion, and we must seize this opportunity to complete the destruction of Zhou Xing by Shang as soon as possible, and use the luck of the human race to make up for this loss!"
"good!"
Taiqing Laozi nodded.
Then, he sent a message to the Great Master Xuandu and some powerful outer disciples of the Human Sect, asking them to find a suitable person among Ji Chang's many descendants to assist in completing the great cause of conquering Shang.
On the side of the Chan school, Yuanshi Tianzun also sent out the Taoist Master Ran Deng, the Taoist Master Cihang, the Tianzun Manjusri, the True Man Samantabhadra and the True Man Huanglong.
Without the obstruction of Master Tongtian and the disciples of Jiejiao, with so many Golden Immortals like them, destroying the Shang Dynasty would not be a problem as long as they planned carefully.
The Three Emperors of Huoyun Cave naturally noticed this scene, but because they had just offended Taiqing Laozi, they did not want to have any more cause and effect with Yuanshi Tianzun.
So there is no stopping either!
Emperor Xin forcefully activated the Six Soul Banner, which consumed a large amount of his lifespan, and he didn't have much time left.
Fuxi did arrange for a Daluo Jinxian from the Huoyun Cave to lead him into the underworld to practice the way of ghost immortals, but he refused!
"The black bird of heaven descended to give birth to the Shang Dynasty!" Emperor Xin cried bitterly, "The foundation of the Shang Dynasty was destroyed by my hands! How can I face my ancestors?"
"This……"
The Daluo Jinxian from Huoyun Cave sighed, "This is not your fault! How can a game between saints like you, a human king with no cultivation, change it?"
"You don't need to persuade me anymore, ancestor!" Emperor Xin said frankly, "I have decided to live and die with the Shang Dynasty! Even if I die, I will not regret it!"
The Daluo of Huoyun Cave had no choice but to leave in disappointment, his eyes full of regret.
After he left, Han Yi arrived quietly and told Emperor Xin what happened in the Zhuxian Sword Formation and the decision of Taoist Hongjun to let all the saints leave the prehistoric world.
At the same time, he retrieved the Seven Arrows Book with Nailed Heads and the Six Soul Banner, a rare and evil treasure from the Heavenly Dao, from Emperor Xin.
"This life is enough!"
Emperor Xin could not help but laugh and said, "I killed Ji Fa and Jiang Ziya, two great masters of supernatural powers. Even the saints suffered heavy losses because of me!"
Han Yi looked at the frantic Emperor Xin and could not help but sigh: "The Taoist master has issued a decree that Jiejiao will withdraw from the Conferred Gods. We can no longer help the Shang Dynasty!"
Although he had no intention of being tied to the Shang Dynasty from the beginning to the end, seeing Emperor Xin's current appearance, ripples still arose in his heart.
It's the same for the winners and losers!
Sometimes he couldn't help but wonder, if he were Emperor Xin, what choice would he make in the end? Would he live in disgrace or die in a spectacular way?
The answer!
He already had this in his previous life, when he was killed by Taiyi Zhenren and his soul returned to the underworld!
"Morality is precious, but friendship is even more valuable. If you want to live forever, you can abandon both! Xia Jie was sad about his desperate situation, but he did not blame the will of heaven. This heart is born naturally, how can it be reduced to mediocrity? In the next life, I will ascend to heaven and express my pride again!"
If he could survive, he would naturally try every possible means to survive.
If not, even if he dies, he will leave a mark in his memory.
He doesn't regret his choice!
The same is true for Emperor Xin!
……
After meeting Emperor Xin, he immediately went to Huoyun Cave. After learning that he was the spirit of "Records of Sages", he naturally wanted to see his true form.
He remembered that the history of the human race was recorded like this: "When Emperor Yu established his rule over the nine provinces, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky, and the Records of the Ancient Sages fell to warn the younger generations of the human race! Emperor Yu was overjoyed, and he made 10,000 copies of it and distributed them to the princes!"
As for the original copy of "Records of Ancient Sages", if it was not in the hands of Dayu, it was kept in the Huoyun Cave. In any case, it was impossible for it to be lost in the ancient times.
but……
This time, he saw countless killing arrays outside the Fire Cloud Cave, with dozens of Golden Immortals waiting in formation. After confirming Han Yi's identity, they reluctantly let him enter the Fire Cloud Cave. Xuanyuan immediately explained: "You can't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. We just took the Kongtong Seal, so we have to be careful!"
"Understand, understand!"
Upon hearing this, Han Yi nodded tactfully.
Speaking of which, if the saint left the Three Realms, with the Fire Cloud Cave commanded by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, plus nearly a hundred Daluo, wouldn't it become the largest force in the prehistoric world?
"You think too much!"
Fuxi saw Han Yi looking around, and seemed to understand what he was thinking: "The human race's foundation is not enough to dominate the entire prehistoric world! There are many Phoenixes who suppress the fire veins in the Undead Volcano, real dragons sleeping in the dragon tombs of the Dragon Clan, and great supernatural powers who have been suppressing the Eye of Guixu Sea! It's just that because of the karma of the great catastrophe, they can't manifest in the world! Otherwise, how can it be the turn of the later liches?"
Han Yi nodded.
The strength of the Dragon and Phoenix tribes is definitely more than what appears on the surface. If that was the only strength they had, Emperor Jun would have integrated these two tribes into the demon tribe!
In addition, there are also many powerful people in the Soul Clan and Bone Clan living in the Netherworld, but for some reason they did not enter the prehistoric world.
After a brief greeting with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Han Yi also explained his purpose and said that he wanted to ask for the original copy of "Records of Ancient Sages" in Dayu's hand.
Dayu frowned slightly: "Why do you want this thing? This thing, it's not some powerful spiritual treasure? I have copied tens of thousands of copies of its contents!"
Han Yi didn't know how to explain it for a moment. He couldn't say that it was his real body!
There are some things that he doesn't want too many people to know before he understands them clearly.
"Give it to him!"
Fuxi smiled: "It's not a big deal anyway!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Han Yi quickly bowed to him.
Afterwards, after saying hello to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he left the Fire Cloud Cave.
After Han Yi left, Dayu was puzzled and said, "That thing, although not a treasure, contains the breath of humanity, and it has traveled through the long river of time and space. Maybe it is a message passed to us by the human race in the future. Did he just give it to him like this?"
"if not?"
Fuxi asked back: "You have been meditating for so many years, have you figured out anything? Speaking of the long river of time and space, isn't this kid's senior brother a man of the future?"
"He reflects the future fruit of the Tao in the present, turning the future into the present, and in one fell swoop proves that he is a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. This is unique in the prehistoric world!"
"If this thing is related to future generations, let the people of future generations interpret it!"
To be honest, he really wanted to communicate with Duobao Tathagata and learn something about the future, but he was afraid that if he knew too much, the future would deviate in other directions.
After all, compared to Duobao Tathagata going against the flow of time and space, modifying history and changing the illusory future are undoubtedly simpler.
Especially for those with great supernatural powers, sometimes, just a thought can affect the fate of millions of lives and the direction of the great trend of heaven.
Dayu remained silent.
He knew that what Fuxi said was the best solution. Now that the human race and Jiejiao have a good relationship, the other party should not deliberately target the human race.
not to mention……
Han Yi is of human origin!
When Han Yi visited Huoyun Cave, the disciples of the Chan sect led by the Taoist Master Ran Deng and the disciples of the Ren sect led by the Great Master Xuan Du also arrived in Xiqi.
Due to Huang Feihu's crazy behavior, Ji Chang had only a few descendants left, among which the eldest son Ji Boyikao and the fourth son Ji Dan were the most outstanding.
Although Ji Dan was an outstanding person, he was not the eldest son. He was obsessed with divination and had no interest in the political affairs of Xiqi. After some weighing of the pros and cons, he was excluded by everyone!
Ji Bo Yikao naturally took on the responsibility of attacking Shang.
He personally arrived at the military camp at the front line to boost morale. An invisibly domineering aura spread out, and even made the immortals of the Chan sect feel that he was more suitable to be king than Ji Fa.
Taoist Burning Lamp could not help but mutter, "Could it be that the head saint made a mistake before?"
With Ji Bo Yikao boosting morale and the help of disciples from the Human Sect and the Chan Sect, the Xiqi army was unstoppable and broke through the heavily guarded Jiepai Pass in one fell swoop.
Afterwards, they captured the three checkpoints of Chuanyun Pass, Lintong Pass and Tong Pass in one fell swoop. As long as they captured Mianchi County, they would be able to reach Chaoge, the capital of the Shang Dynasty.
During this period, Shen Gongbao, who was known as "San Yisheng", showed amazing talent. Whether it was marching and fighting, or military strategy, he was far superior to Jiang Ziya of the past. Faced with these towering checkpoints, he did not choose to attack by force, but instead used psychological warfare to cause internal strife and thus captured them in one fell swoop.
This made Master Huang Long sigh: "I never thought that there is such a talent in Xiqi. If Junior Brother Zi Ya had had his help before, maybe he wouldn't have suffered so many casualties!"
All the immortals of the Chan sect had strange expressions on their faces.
At the beginning, when Jiang Ziya and Ji Fa led the Xiqi army, they suffered extremely heavy losses. But when Bo Yikao and San Yisheng took command of the Xiqi troops, the two seemed to be destined to succeed. They were unstoppable along the way, and there were not even many places where they, the practitioners, needed to take action!
This made them very suspicious, wondering if Yuanshi Tianzun had made a mistake at the beginning?
