After hearing what Fuxi said, Zhen Yuanzi had many doubts in his heart, but seeing that Fuxi was so sure, he nodded in agreement and decided to follow him to the Huoyun Cave to find out what was going on.

The two men rode on the clouds and soon arrived at a canyon surrounded by clouds and mist, with an ethereal aura.

There were mountains in front of us, and behind the clouds we could vaguely see a cave.

The entrance of the cave was surrounded by colorful auspicious clouds and there was a faint auspicious aura rising. It was obvious that there was an array formation set up around it.

Fortunately, Fuxi is very familiar with this place.

He led Zhen Yuanzi through layers of auspicious clouds with ease, and soon passed through the formation barrier and arrived at the entrance of the cave.

Zhen Yuanzi noticed that there was an ancient rune carved on the cliff outside the Fire Cloud Cave.

Those runes emitted a warm light, illuminating the inner walls of the cave, making the entire cave look sparkling and exuding an incomparable sacred feeling.

Besides.

The air in the cave is filled with a faint scent of medicine and grass, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Obviously, there must be some precious medicinal herbs grown in this cave.

And it is an extremely precious natural treasure.

if not.

The aroma of medicine and the scent of plants will never waft out of the cave.

"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, this is the holy land of our human race, Huoyun Cave. This place is protected by formations and the energy of the human emperor. Non-humans are not allowed to enter. Please follow me..."

Fuxi took Zhen Yuanzi into the cave, and at the same time introduced the situation inside the Huoyun Cave to him, with a bit of pride in his tone.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the entrance to the Fire Cloud Cave is just a small cave. There is a whole new world inside."

"This place is divided into several areas, and each one is decorated very carefully. There is a training room that simulates the changing of the four seasons, a library with a rich collection of books, and a furnace room for refining pills and making medicines..."

As he went deeper, Zhen Yuanzi felt powerful auras coming from deep inside the cave.

That was the pressure from a saint, but it was not as sharp as that of an ordinary saint. Instead, it carried a sense of peace as gentle as jade.

Under the guidance of Fuxi, the two soon arrived at a spacious hall.

At this moment, an old man wearing a yellow robe and with a kind face was sitting in the hall.

This person was none other than Emperor Yan of the Shennong clan, one of the three famous emperors of the human race in the ancient times!

"Fuxi, you are finally back."

Just when Fuxi brought Zhen Yuanzi here, Emperor Yan, who was originally resting with his eyes closed, also opened his eyes.

Fuxi stepped forward lightly, turned around and introduced to Emperor Yan: "Brother Shennong, I am here with Taoist friend Zhenyuanzi to visit you, and I have come to see you..."

Emperor Yan smiled slightly, his eyes swept over the two of them gently, and finally stopped his gaze on Zhen Yuanzi, as if he was evaluating this ancestor of earthly immortals.

"Daoyou Zhenyuanzi has an extraordinary opportunity. Although you were intercepted by the Master Tongtian when you entered the world to face the calamity, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. You have survived and stood up again. Now your cultivation level is probably about to reach the middle stage of the Saint Realm, right?"

His voice is as mellow as a bell, as if revealing the accumulation of years and wisdom!
Zhen Yuanzi quickly returned the greeting. Although he was shocked in his heart, he remained calm on the surface: "I was just lucky. Brother Yandi, thank you for your praise..."

"Hahaha~"

"It has been many years since outsiders have come to our Huoyun Cave. Fuxi, why did you come to see old Yandi first when you brought your friends back to the cave? Why didn't you come to see me first?"

Just as the three were talking, a hearty laugh suddenly came from the other side of the hall, accompanied by a slight sound of footsteps.

Zhen Yuanzi looked back and saw an old man in simple clothes, with a simple face and a look of wisdom in his eyes slowly walking into the hall. Although he had never seen this person before.

But it is not difficult to see from the other party's words and actions.

This person should be another emperor of the human race in the prehistoric era, who is known as the ancestor of the human race together with Shennong, Yan Emperor, and Fuxi, namely Suiren, also known as Suihuang.

Speaking of Suiren, his contributions to human beings are greater than those of Fuxi and Yan Emperor.

In that distant primitive period, with his supreme wisdom, he discovered the use of fire, enabling human beings to break away from the primitive life of eating raw meat and drinking blood and enter a new chapter of civilization.

His great discovery not only greatly promoted the development of the human race, but also greatly enhanced his prestige among the human race!

As a result, he also gathered the vast destiny of the human race.

Besides.

During that period of catastrophe when wizards and demons fought for supremacy and the world was in turmoil, he led the human race and, relying on his own wisdom and courage, cleverly avoided countless disasters, protected the reproduction and survival of the human race, and accumulated endless merits.

Later, when the war between the liches was at its most intense.

He directly used the destiny of the human race as a guide and with the help of the protection of the human emperor's energy, he successfully resisted the powerful interference from the outside world, allowing the human race to survive in the cracks and gradually grow stronger.

This contribution to the human race made the light of his merit shine even brighter. Finally, with the recognition of heaven and earth, his merit was fulfilled and he became the first human emperor in the history of the human race to achieve enlightenment and become a saint.

It is worth mentioning that.

After becoming a saint, he did not ascend to the ninth heaven like other saints.

Instead, he chose to stay with the human race and continue to protect the development of the human race as the Emperor of Humanity.

He used his saintly power to open up a lot of living space for the human race and taught them various survival skills, allowing the human race to gradually gain a foothold in the wild land.

It is said that this Fire Cloud Cave was also opened up by him with the power of a saint.
"Haha~ It seems that Huoyun Cave is really lively today. Even a distinguished guest like Taoist Zhen Yuanzi has arrived."

Emperor Sui had a hearty laugh, and his words revealed an indescribable friendliness.

"I have met Emperor Sui..."

Zhen Yuanzi quickly turned around and saluted, but Emperor Sui waved his hand to indicate that there was no need for formalities and immediately joined their conversation.

He smiled and introduced: "Daoyou Zhenyuanzi, do you know that this Fire Cloud Cave is not only the place where the three emperors of our human race practiced, but also a rare blessed place in the world. Here, we can peek into the secrets of the heavens and protect the human race. If it weren't for this blessed place, the previous catastrophes would have already been riddled with holes."

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I have only heard that the Fire Cloud Cave of the human race is the world's number one holy place for cultivation. Seeing it today, I find that it is indeed worthy of its reputation. Apart from anything else, the medicinal fragrance emanating from this cave alone can help people to cultivate more effectively..."

Hearing outsiders exaggerating about the Fire Cloud Cave, Fuxi and the other two smiled at each other, and they couldn't help but feel a little more happy.

A few people chatted with each other here for a while and soon got to the point.

However, when Suiren and Yandi heard that Fuxi was looking for that person with Zhenyuanzi, their expressions suddenly changed.

Suiren smiled bitterly and said, "Fuxi, you brought Taoist friend Zhenyuanzi here at the wrong time. Emperor Xin knows that the human race is facing an unprecedented catastrophe, so he has been in seclusion for a few days to strive for a higher realm..."

what?
Emperor Xin?

When Zhen Yuanzi heard the name uttered by Suiren, his pupils shrank instantly.

He looked up at Fuxi and asked in disbelief: "Daoist Fuxi, could it be that the fourth emperor of your race who became a saint is Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty?"
