Volume 5: The World of Conferred Gods Chapter 7 Fire Cloud Cave: The Hundred Ancestors of the Human Race
Tongtian was even more jealous.
"At this moment, what are you talking about? We are master and disciple. If I don't believe you, who will you believe?"
Tongtian was also sighing in his heart at this time. He originally thought that Jiale was just the only hope for Jiejiao. Now it seems that not only Jiejiao, but even his roots can be saved.
saint!
He is just a slave of Heaven. He practices all his life and can only be under Heaven's way. How could he be willing to do that with such a determined mind?
He had regretted it a long time ago, but on the path to becoming a saint, there was no turning back. The Hongmeng purple energy was the poison that controlled them, and if Heaven was willing, it could even kill them instantly. Their feelings towards Hongjun were complicated, and they even hated him a little, but the method that Hongjun taught them was true, and they chose their own path.
The most important thing is that Hongjun is the way of heaven, and sometimes, Hongjun has no other choice.
Because the way of heaven does not allow anyone in this world to break through to the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, one must either become a saint or die, even for them.
However, Hongjun did not tell them these when he bestowed them with the Hongmeng Purple Qi, so they embarked on a path of no return. But even so, they did not dare to express any dissatisfaction towards Hongjun, because their life and death were controlled by Hongjun.
Now Jiale actually said that there was a way to allow him to make a new choice.
Even if he were to return to the time before liberation, even if he might never be able to break through to the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian, Tongtian was willing to give it a try.
"Then please support me, Master. I will definitely open up a way for you."
Tongtian thought Jiale would tell him the method, but after listening to Jiale's words, Tongtian remained silent and then nodded.
He knew that Jiale was afraid that he would say it out loud and let it spread to other places. After all, in this world, when you say something, it may not be known only to you and me, but also to others.
"Okay, from now on, you can command the Jiejiao, and so can I, your master."
Done!
Jiale laughed secretly in his heart, the power of Tongtian and others actually came from the world, and Heaven is the master of the world. They took it for granted that they were dependent on Heaven, but the fact was, in fact, the world was the world, Heaven was Heaven. Now the master of the world was Heaven, but that might not be the case in the future. Why couldn't we change the master?
After Jiale controls the underground and human ways, it will naturally be possible for him to counter the heavenly way. At that time, if Tongtian wants to make a new choice, won't it just take Jiale a word to do it?
Not only can he allow Tongtian to make a new choice, Jiale can even return Taiqing and Yuqing to Shangqing, and unite the Three Purities into one, helping Tongtian to reach the level of Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian in one step.
However, these are all matters for the future, and everything is based on the premise that he can succeed.
The west.
Jie Yin and Zhunti also looked distressed at this time. Wasn't it agreed that this calamity would not affect their Buddhist sect? What was going on now? The calamity energy had enveloped the entire Lingshan Mountain. Wasn't this considered an impact? Not only the Buddhist sect, but even the two saints were affected. The calamity energy on them was no less than that of Nuwa.
Feeling the breath of the Great Dao, they knew that in this catastrophe, they would not be safe and that Buddhism would need to face the catastrophe.
Since the great catastrophe started in the Shang Dynasty, it will naturally end in the Shang Dynasty. At this time, Buddhism has no way to avoid it and can only take the initiative to enter the catastrophe.
"Maitreya, Medicine Master, lead the Buddhist disciples down the mountain and go to Dashang."
At the same time, the Human Sect and the Orthodox Sect also came down the mountain. If they wanted to restore order, they had to destroy the Shang Dynasty. This was the original trajectory.
However, this destruction was not caused by the saints like them, or the disciples of the Holy Church, who could have directly wiped out the Great Shang Dynasty, because that was impossible. The Great Shang Dynasty was now a top-notch imperial dynasty. Even if it was the Twelve Jade Golden Immortals, if they killed a third or fourth-rank official of the Great Shang Dynasty at this time, they would be killed by the backlash of their luck.
Human affairs are human affairs . Now they can only support human forces and weaken the fortune of Shang Dynasty step by step in the form of dynasties until it is destroyed.
Fortunately, the eight hundred princes of the Shang Dynasty all had their own ulterior motives at this time.
Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Nuwa, Jieyin and Zhunti all gathered together.
They invited Tongtian Taoist, but he did not come. They knew the reason. Da Shang was still the missionary place of Jiejiao, and Jiejiao disciple Wen Zhong was the prime minister of Da Shang. Tongtian Taoist might be more inclined to Da Shang, but they just wanted to say that they were confused.
If the Shang Dynasty really grew up, even if it did not truly achieve humanity, even if it produced a figure like the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it would be disadvantageous to them.
To them, the human race is just a group of tools that provide faith.
To keep the fortune of their great sect stable and to facilitate their practice. A growing human race did not meet their expectations at all. Otherwise, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would not have been trapped in the Fire Cloud Cave.
Seeing that the human race was about to be completely controlled by them, and now such a thing had happened, they were really upset.
However, Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi were not surprised. Their third brother has always had a different mindset from them. What might seem like a big deal to them is a big deal, but in Tongtian's eyes, it might not be a big deal even if the human race really grows up, because Tongtian always has some kind of persistence and a certain character, which seems ridiculous to them.
Up to now, the two of them are close, but Tongtian is isolated, and there is a reason for that.
If Tongtian doesn't come, then Nuwa can't have any accidents.
Taiqing Laozi, Yuqing Yuanshi, and Jieyin Zhunti were all looking at Nuwa at this time, ready to let her make a choice.
Nuwa was also a little confused at this time. She was still thinking about how to get rid of the calamity in her body, when Laozi and the others came. Looking at the expressions of the four people, how could Nuwa not know what they meant.
But the human race is her children.
Nuwa has always regarded herself as a demon. During the great calamity between witches and liches, she was even the Queen Nuwa of the demon clan. Later, the demon clan attacked humans, using humans' blood and souls to sacrifice to the witch-killing knife, killing humans, and devouring humans' souls for cultivation. Nuwa chose to ignore it all, because, at that time, she was the saint of the demon clan. The stronger the demon clan was, the stronger the luck she could get.
Even if the human race is her child and helps her become a saint, the human race is too weak. When making a choice, one of them must be sacrificed.
It just so happened that at that time, Taiqing Laozi and others, just like today, came to discuss the Dao with her, giving her a way out, so she simply went with the flow. However, she could never have imagined that the Demon Clan and the Witch Clan would both suffer heavy losses and withdraw from the world stage. Instead, the human race took advantage of the situation and became the protagonists of heaven and earth.
However, the rise of the human race is also a good thing for Nuwa.
Nuwa is the mother of the human race and she occupies most of the luck of the human race. In the beginning, 90% of the luck of the human race actually lies with Nuwa. But how could other saints watch Nuwa eat up such a big cake alone? Then there came into being the Laozi Li Ren Sect.
Although this human religion represents the human path among the three paths of heaven, earth and man, Laozi did not accept any other disciples except those of the human race. This human religion also applies to the human race. Of the 90% luck, 30% was given to Laozi.
Later, the Orthodox, Unorthodox and Buddhist sects separated and each obtained 10% of the human race's fortune. Now, only 30% of the human race's fortune is left in Nuwa's hands.
However, even with 30% of the luck of the human race, plus the luck of the demon race, Nuwa is almost the luckiest person in this world.
Nuwa became a saint through merit. Her strength should have been the weakest among the Six Saints. However, with a large amount of luck supporting her, Nuwa's cultivation speed is one of the fastest among the Six Saints. Now, it is really uncertain who is the weakest among the Six Saints.
The most ironic thing is that, in the end, only 10% of the human race's fortune fell on the human race, and the other 90% was divided among the six saints.
And now the Six Saints want to completely transform the human race into flesh worms of luck. Why did Jiale let Emperor Xin establish the Yun Dynasty? On the one hand, he wanted to take control of humanity and earth and combine the three ways of heaven, earth and man to enhance his strength. On the other hand, he also felt sorry for the difficulties of the human race and wanted to do something for them.
He is a human after all, this is the fundamental fact that can never be forgotten.
The human race should have a human emperor, and it should be up to the human race to make the decision, instead of becoming the so-called Son of Heaven and the plaything of the Heavenly Dao and the Six Saints.
It's not about right or wrong, it's just a matter of stance.
Fire Cloud Cave.
Emperor Xin slowly stopped not far from the Fire Cloud Cave. The one who brought Emperor Xin here was Kunlun.
To be honest, even though Jiejiao stood with Da Shang, it was essentially no different from other sects. They just regarded Da Shang as a tool. Neither Tongtian Taoist nor Jiejiao disciples took the human race too seriously. The current situation was only because of Jiale's appearance.
The only one that humans can truly rely on is themselves.
The human race is not without experts.
The human race had three ancestors, namely, Suiren, Youchao and Ziyi. In that era, there were also a group of founders of human civilization who, together with the three ancestors, paved the way for human civilization.
Later, there were the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, namely, Emperor Fuxi, Emperor Shennong, Emperor Xuanyuan, Emperor Zhuanxu, Emperor Ku, Emperor Yao, Emperor Shun, and Emperor Yu, the ancestors of mankind who brought the human race to the pinnacle.
In addition to these, the human race also has ancestors from all walks of life, such as Cangjie, the ancestor who created human writing.
If we count carefully, there are probably more than a hundred ancestors imprisoned in Huoyun Cave.
That's right, these people did not choose to enter the Fire Cloud Cave on their own, but were forced into the Cave by the Six Saints. The dignified ancestors of the human race were not allowed freedom, while those who deprived them of freedom were enjoying the good fortune of the human race. Just think about it and you will know how ironic it is.
However, there is nothing that can be done about it. As the saying goes, strength is everything.
Even the strongest Three Ancestors, Three Emperors and Cangjie are probably at most at the sub-sage level now, below the Six Saints, or perhaps the first, but compared with the Six Saints, they are nothing. They entered the Fire Cloud Cave, and were able to suppress the luck of the human race, protect the luck of the human race, and become the foundation of the human race.
Even if the human race really encounters a disaster of genocide one day, they will be able to take action.
The Six Saints could only force them into the Fire Cloud Cave. After all, these human ancestors all had the luck of the human race. If they killed them, the backlash would be so strong that the Six Saints would not feel good. Of course, it would just be a bad feeling, not a life-threatening situation. Therefore, if these human ancestors did not listen and stay in the Fire Cloud Cave, they would probably be killed by the backlash of the Six Saints.
After all, since it concerns the path of cultivation, the Six Saints will not give in.
This is understandable. If you put yourself in their shoes, Jiale would do the same.
Today, the Fire Cloud Cave should be controlled by the Three Ancestors and the Three Emperors.
The ones with the highest status among them should be Suiren and Fuxi.
There is nothing wrong with the Three Ancestors, but the Three Emperors were actually disciples of the Three Religions, of course, in name only. In order to share the fortune of the Three Emperors and prevent them from becoming saints, the three religions accepted the Three Emperors as their disciples. The master of Heavenly Emperor Fuxi was the Great Master Xuandu, the master of Earthly Emperor Shennong was the Taoist Lingbao, and the master of Human Emperor Xuanyuan was Guangchengzi.
These three people are all senior disciples of the three religions, and they have one thing in common, that is, they were able to successfully break through the quasi-saint realm because they accepted the Three Emperors as their disciples and shared the Human Emperor's luck. It was also from that time that the second generation disciples of the Three Religions began to step into the quasi-saint realm. To be honest, if the Three Religions had not shared their luck, it is possible that the Three Emperors of the human race might have been able to break through to the saint realm with the help of the human race's luck.
Especially the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, he can be said to be a watershed for the human race. If he could bring the human race to the peak with his own strength, he might have directly broken through to the saint realm. Unfortunately, the Orthodox Sect took action, and other sects such as the Demon Sect, Buddhism, and Heaven all joined in the fun. In the end, the strength of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan might not be comparable to that of Fuxi and Shennong.
Everything was within the calculations of the Three Purities. The rise of the human race was actually just empty talk from the very beginning.
One more thing.
Emperor Fuxi is the brother of Nuwa. During the war between wizards and demons, there was Emperor Fuxi from the demon clan, who died on the battlefield. Later, under the arrangement of Nuwa, he entered reincarnation and sought the position of Emperor Fuxi. It can be said that his soul is from the demon clan, but his body is from the human clan.
However, after he abdicated, he did not leave the human race, but chose to stay in the Huoyun Cave, which shows that he regarded himself as a human being and had cut off all ties with the past.
Otherwise, if Fuxi really wanted to leave the human race, for the sake of Nuwa, the Three Pure Ones and the Two Buddhas would never make things difficult for Fuxi.
In fact, there is no need to worry too much. The fact that all three emperors chose to stay in the Fire Cloud Cave shows their choice. They are of human descent. They have human blood in their bodies and their hearts belong to the human race.
"The Emperor of Mankind requests to see the ancestors."
Emperor Xin shouted towards the Huoyun Cave. Inside the Huoyun Cave, the Three Ancestors, Three Sovereigns, Five Emperors and other ancestors of the human race were gathered together.
Before Emperor Xin came, they had already started discussing the affairs of the human race.
The three religions and Buddhist sects all knew about such a big move by the human race, so they naturally would not be unaware of it. In fact, after Emperor Xin established the Yun Dynasty and gathered the luck of the human race, in addition to Emperor Xin and Jia Le who gained great benefits, they were the ones who gained the most.
They knew that with Emperor Xin's ambition, he would either bring the human race to the peak or bring it into the abyss.
The problem is, if Emperor Xin wants to go straight to the top, will they help him? If Emperor Xin wants to go to the abyss, will they accompany him?
Of course, a core question is whether Emperor Xin is trustworthy.
It would be more accurate to say that their meeting was an assessment of Emperor Xin's potential and abilities.
And now, Emperor Xin came so soon, to be honest, it was a little beyond their expectations.
No matter how much I say here, it is not as practical as meeting Emperor Xin in person. However, if I really meet him, there will be no turning back. I will either agree or refuse. There is no other choice.
"Please invite the Emperor!"
The Fire Cloud Cave opened wide. Although the human ancestors in the cave were once the leaders of the human race, just like in a sect, they have abdicated and become elders. Now the emperor of the human race is Emperor Xin. Even if their status is high, after the appearance of Emperor Xin, they should lower their positions. This is the foundation for the human race to inherit civilization.
The hundreds of ancestors of the human race invited Emperor Xin in with the ceremony of welcoming the Emperor of Man.
Emperor Xin looked at the hundreds of ancestors of the human race in front of him and sighed in his heart. He had a clear understanding of himself. He was just the inheritor of the blessings of the hundreds of ancestors. The main credit for his current achievements and the establishment of the Shang Dynasty went to these ancestors of the human race.
Since Baizu treated him with courtesy, Emperor Xin naturally would not put on airs.
After paying respect, he looked towards the Three Ancestors and Three Emperors in the middle.
"Emperor Xin meets all the ancestors of the human race."
"Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. Now that you are the Human Emperor, we should greet you with courtesy. Your Majesty, please take a seat."
Fuxi responded with a smile, but his eyes fell on Kunlun again.
Emperor Xin immediately understood.
"Emperor, this is Kunlun, the Imperial Master of the Great Shang Dynasty."
Kunlun!
Fuxi was no novice, he knew Kunlun's background at a glance. Emperor Xin was in the early stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal and had a spiritual body. He was able to recruit such a national teacher. If he didn't have other purposes, then he must have some connection.
Only Emperor Xin and a few people in Jiejiao know Kunlun’s current identity.
Kunlun also bowed to Fuxi.
"Greetings to the Emperor, I am a clone, my original body is also a human, and now I am the deputy leader of Jiejiao."
Hmm! As soon as these words came out, everyone in Huoyun Cave was shocked.
It turned out to be a clone, and the clone was a Hunyuan Golden Immortal. I have never heard that there is a Hunyuan Golden Immortal in the human race in the Jiejiao, and he is the deputy leader. This is a bit shocking.
However, after Kunlun's introduction, all the ancestors of the human race seemed to know something.
"The method of Yunchao and the martial arts of the Human Emperor, were they all given by fellow Taoist?"
Kunlun nodded. Actually, there was no need to hide too much from Fuxi and others. He took the initiative to confess his identity in order to give Emperor Xin some support. He knew that it was not so easy to persuade these human ancestors. It was true that they were the ancestors of the human race and they would give everything for the human race, but this was no longer their era and comfort would wear down their fighting spirit.
Staying in Huoyun Cave for a long time has enabled them to think first before encountering any problems, and consider the pros and cons before making a decision.
If they were not more than 50% sure, they would not have pinned the entire destiny of the human race on Emperor Xin. The appearance of Kunlun had already increased Emperor Xin's chances by 30%.
The deputy leader of Jiejiao, does mean that Emperor Xin has won over a saint and brought Jiejiao over?
