Chapter 160: Fengqishan Negotiations, the Rotating Heavenly Emperor’s Idea
In fact, although Qi Yu had clashed with the Wumen several times and even took the initiative to “provoke” them, for example, this time he seized the origin of the black water from the Wumen’s base camp, which caused Hou Tu and other powerful people to jump up and down.

But in fact, Qi Yu never dared to underestimate this prehistoric overlord who was gradually taking shape, and he had always been extremely vigilant towards the Witch Clan.

The previous friendly gesture to Di Jun and the current further alliance with Fengqishan both have this kind of vigilant influence.

The reason why Qi Yu was like this was because he knew too much about the foundation of the Wu Sect. It was because of this understanding that he knew that it was not without reason that the Twelve Ancestral Witches were known as the authentic Pangu Sect. The potential of this lineage was truly incomparably astonishing.

What few people know is that in the past the great god Pangu created the world and proved the truth, but he died of exhaustion. After that, when his body turned into all things, the most fundamental inheritance was given to the Witch Clan. Now, this inheritance is in the Witch God Temple!
That’s right, Pangu’s Taoism transformed the heaven and earth. Although his most fundamental spirit was transformed into the Three Pure Ones, and even most of the merits for creating the world fell on the Three Pure Ones, in fact, the Three Pure Ones were not the heirs of Pangu’s Taoism. The Twelve Ancestral Witches were the ones who benefited the most.

Of course, the Three Pure Ones may have gained more, because from Qi Yu’s perspective, the Three Pure Ones are by no means Pangu, but a kind of future that Pangu placed his hopes on. They occupy the three fundamental positions of Xuan, Yuan and Shi in the Heavenly Dao, but have not inherited Pangu’s Dao fruit. Naturally, they are destined to take a path in the future that is completely different from Pangu’s!

As for the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Pangu obviously did not have such great expectations. Therefore, although they were born with the twelve drops of essence and blood in Pangu’s heart vein, they were only “successors” born from Pangu’s origin. They were more like a continuation of Pangu’s past path.

Therefore, although they inherited all of Pangu’s achievements in the Great Dao of Turbidity, Evil, Gods and Demons, their status in the Heavenly Dao is far less lofty than that of the Three Pure Ones.

Regarding this point, we can see something from the fact that the twelve ancient witches all regard Pangu as their father god, while the Three Pure Ones only respect Pangu as their teacher.

Of course, there is no absolute distinction between superior and inferior paths. We cannot arbitrarily say that the Three Pure Ones’ path of deriving their own paths from the three major foundations of Xuan, Yuan and Shi is definitely a better choice, and that the Twelve Ancestral Witches’ inheritance of Pangu Avenue is definitely inferior.

But based on the current situation, Qi Yu can basically conclude that among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, except for Hou Tu and Di Jiang, the upper limits of the others have been affected and their potential to achieve enlightenment is far inferior to that of the Three Pure Ones.

However, judging from the current situation, this may not be a bad thing. After all, before achieving the Dao of Hunyuan, the gap in the potential of the Great Dao is not actually obvious. On the contrary, because of Pangu’s Dao, the Twelve Ancestral Witches have gained certain advantages.

Apart from anything else, as long as they can abandon their many concerns and focus on following Pangu’s old path, the twelve of them will definitely be able to accelerate their growth in a short period of time and rush into higher realms at the fastest speed. It can be said that they are exchanging potential for combat power and gaining the opportunity to dominate the world!

Considering that the witch sect is now surrounded by enemies all over the world, this path may really become the last choice of the Twelve Ancestral Witches!

Especially those among the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Tian Wu, Xi Zi, Qiang Liang, She Bi Shi and others, who have relatively backward cultivation, are entirely likely to take this path after Tai Yi passed away and the Witch Clan completely lost its position, so that the Witch Clan will have the opportunity to fight the Heaven head-on!

To be honest, Qi Yu was not sure whether he could return to the peak before that day came, and he could not guarantee when the Three Purities would take the final step to achieve enlightenment. Therefore, the necessity of forming an alliance with Fengqi Mountain was even greater.

As for Fengqi Mountain, the same is true for them. Although the relationship between Fuxi, Nuwa and the demon clan is close, and they are even honored as emperors among the demon clan, this does not mean that Fuxi and Nuwa can be truly close to Di Jun’s clan.

After all, this involves the issue of dominance, and dominance is a taboo at all times and is most likely to cause conflicts between the two sides. Whether it is Emperor Jun, Fuxi, or Nuwa, both sides are aware of this and naturally do not want to challenge each other’s bottom line.

Moreover, Fuxi was also born in the Heavenly Palace!

As a person who once competed with Taiyi, he not only has a delicate relationship with the current Taitian Court! Is there nothing between him and Dijun, the next generation emperor?
Fuxi, do you really not have any thoughts about the Heavenly Palace at all?
How can it be!

Therefore, Fengqishan will inevitably seek more help from outside, and in such a situation, how could there be a more suitable choice than Qi Yu?
It was natural that the two sides hit it off immediately.

As expected, when Qi Yu arrived and landed on Fengqi Mountain, he received the most grand welcome of this lineage. Amid the long cry of the blue luan divine bird, the two great celestial beings, Fuxi and Nuwa, came out of the mountain to greet him in person. After they and their many Taoist masters met Qi Yu one by one, they moved to the Palace of the Earth Mother and sat down as host and guest.

“It’s rare for a distinguished guest to come. My sister and I don’t have much, so we can only treat you with some tea and fruit. I hope you won’t mind.”

After several people sat down, Fuxi spoke first. At this moment, the ancient Green Emperor had a smile on his face and looked very warm. His words were like a spring breeze blowing across the face, making Qi Yu feel relaxed and happy.

This is not some trick used by Fuxi, but he really has this charm. It is a special temperament that is similar to Di Jun’s but also different. Qi Yu had similar feelings about Cangli clan in the past. Perhaps this is what all emperors have in common.

As for the tea and fruit mentioned by Fuxi, that tea was produced by the innate spiritual roots. It took one Yuanhui to irrigate with spiritual energy to get some spiritual tea for enlightenment. That fruit was also a kind of magical fruit that only produced once in ten thousand years from the innate ancestral roots. It was of great benefit to those under the Tao Lord and had the wonderful effect of increasing Taoism.

To Qi Yu, these teas and fruits were not particularly precious. At least the effects of these spiritual roots were negligible for the powerful Heavenly Lords. But in terms of etiquette, the standards for entertaining guests at Fengqi Mountain were really very high. Only contemporary Heavenly Lords like Fuxi and Nuwa could afford to entertain others in this way.

Therefore, after taking a sip of the spiritual tea, Qi Yu responded with a smile.

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty is too modest. Such spiritual tea and immortal fruit, even I feel it is a waste. Such courtesy makes me not know what to do.”

Hearing this, Fuxi raised his eyebrows. Qi Yu called himself “poor Taoist” instead of anything else. This was obviously a very interesting signal. It seemed that this time the emperor came not only to represent himself, but to a certain extent, he could also be regarded as representing the will of the entire Xuanmen.

Thinking of this, the smile on Fuxi’s face became even more intense, and he spoke again.

“Fellow Daoist, you are the founder of Xuanmen and the emperor of Heaven. There is nothing you haven’t seen. If you really say that, you are embarrassing my brother and I.”

“Speaking of which, my sister and I would like to thank you for your help in this matter of Xiantian Dao Palace. Fortunately, you stirred up the situation in the Netherworld and then held back the Wumen Hou Tu. My sister was able to concentrate on refining Wutu Dao Palace.”

“In this case, my Fengqi Mountain lineage owes you a favor. In the future, if you need anything, you can send someone to my Fengqi Mountain. Fuxi will definitely help you!”

Fuxi said these words firmly, but unconsciously, he also changed the way of referring to himself. The intention was very interesting. This was not only putting down the so-called “airs” of the ancient Green Emperor to get closer to Qi Yu, but also a way of severing his identity from the Heavenly Court.

Immediately after Fuxi, Nuwa also spoke, she said.

“Brother, you are right. This time, I was able to achieve success thanks to your help. From now on, the Fengqi Mountain clan will be close to you. If you have any problems, you can send someone at any time.”

Compared to Fuxi, Nuwa obviously did not have so many roundabout intentions at this moment. She was really making her promise seriously. Of course, this was also because Fuxi was by her side at the moment. The two of them were brother and sister, and there was no need for them to negotiate with Qi Yu at the same time. In this regard, Qi Yu alone was enough.

In response to this, Qi Yu nodded and agreed to the alliance suggested by the two Fengqi Mountain Heavenly Lords.

“In that case, I would like to thank your Majesty and your Majesty in advance.”

“Your Majesty, Madam, you and I can just call each other fellow Taoists. To be honest, you were able to kill Minghe by yourself, which was beyond the expectations of many people. In the eyes of many people, your current level of Taoism is probably even better than that of the demon emperor Dijun.”

Before Qi Yu finished speaking, Nuwa spoke again and asked a relatively private question.

And Qi Yu had no intention of hiding anything, he just said.

“I dare not compare myself with the Sun Emperor, but I have indeed been diligent over the years. I also seized the origin of the black water and improved my Taoism. That is why I was able to suppress the Styx.”

Qi Yu deliberately addressed Di Jun with the honorific title of Sun Emperor, which obviously expressed another meaning, making Fuxi smile even more.

However, Nuwa was obviously more concerned about the second half of Qi Yu’s sentence at this moment.

“Fellow Daoist, do you mean that Minghe is not dead?”

“good.”

Qi Yu felt that there was nothing to hide in this matter, so he explained it immediately.

“Although I have suppressed the Styx and even damaged its roots, I am sure that this beast must not have died. I am afraid that a strong man helped it at the last moment.”

“Moreover, the cultivation level of the person who made the move is definitely not inferior to the three Heavenly Lords of Kunlun Mountain. I even vaguely suspect that this matter is related to the Demon Sect.”

“Magic Gate?”

Upon hearing this, Nuwa’s face suddenly became more solemn, and Fuxi’s eyes also showed more disgust and thought.

As the Green Emperor of the God Clan at the end of the ancient times, and a powerful person who had personally experienced the Longhan Calamity and the struggle between Taoism and Demons, he obviously had a deep understanding of the rampant Demon Sect. Now, when he heard that there was such a powerful person in the Demon Sect who was suspected of taking action for the Styx, he naturally felt uncomfortable.

“Yes, it must be the Demon Sect. Unfortunately, I have no evidence, and I cannot stop that person in such a hurry. Otherwise, I should have reported this to the Emperor of Heaven and asked the Heavenly Court to kill the demon and ensure the peace of the world forever.”

Facing the gazes of Fuxi and Nuwa, Qi Yu explained, of course, the so-called report to the Emperor of Heaven was nothing but nonsense. Not to mention that the current situation was complicated and it was almost impossible to destroy the demons, Taiyi was now making final preparations for proving his Tao, and it was probably impossible for him to take action again.

As for why Qi Yu insisted on saying this, the reason was actually very simple. Firstly, his position naturally had to be made clear. It was not that he was indifferent to the rampant evil, but that the conditions did not allow it.

Secondly, it is naturally a display of muscle. At this moment, after Fuxi heard the word “intercept”, he was obviously a little more suspicious.

How far has this Xichen Emperor’s cultivation reached? How dare he claim that he could intercept a demon sect celestial master who could rival the Three Pure Ones in the Zhoutian?
How can this be? !
For a moment, thoughts flashed through Fuxi’s mind one after another. As for Qi Yu’s nonsense, this kind of thing was obviously not within Fuxi’s consideration.

Having reached their level of innate holiness, they have already been close to the Way of Heaven. Their every move is a manifestation of the Great Way. How could they still speak nonsense?

No quasi-saint Heavenly Lord would do this, unless he is a Demon Heavenly Lord who practices this method. Otherwise, such outrageous words would go against one’s original intention and path, which would be greatly detrimental to one’s practice!
Seeing this, Qi Yu still had a faint smile on his face. This was exactly the effect he wanted. Only by constantly adding weight to his side could the subsequent negotiations proceed more smoothly. Just by looking at Fuxi’s silence at this moment, he knew that he had already succeeded halfway. As for the other half, of course, it still depended on his performance in the future. The next moment, he spoke again.

“Speaking of which, the demonic plague is becoming more and more rampant now. I wonder what the two Taoist friends are thinking?”

“Subduing demons is not a matter for one family or one household. What happens to Fengqi Mountain depends on the decree of the Heavenly Court.”

In response to this, Fuxi said that the shock in his heart did not affect his thoughts. There was nothing difficult to answer Qi Yu’s question. Eliminating demons was the righteous cause of Heaven. Could Fengqishan really go against the Emperor of Heaven?
However, since the demonic threat is only in the West, his Fengqi Mountain lineage will naturally not act rashly. Only when the Heavenly Court sends down an edict, will Fuxi act accordingly. This is also a matter of course. No one can find fault with these words.

However, just as he finished speaking, he heard Qi Yu speak again.

“Fellow Daoist Fuxi is right. We gods are all under the rule of Heaven, so we should follow orders.”

“However, now that His Majesty Taiyi is about to attain enlightenment, he wants the Five Divine Lords to jointly rule the Divine Race. Then, under the Five Divine Lords, whose orders should we obey, Fellow Daoist Fuxi?”

As soon as Qi Yu said this, Fuxi reacted immediately, and even Nuwa, who had been just doing nothing before, was moved and looked at the former.

The amount of information contained in these words is even greater than those before. From what Qi Yu said, it seems that he not only wants to occupy power and watch the fight between the witches and monsters, but he also wants to personally take charge of the situation among the gods!

Could it be that this Xichen Emperor also wanted to fight for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor? Or was it the common will of the Xuanmen, and the three Heavenly Lords of East Kunlun finally planned to attack the Heavenly Court to seize the orthodoxy of the God Clan?
For a moment, it was as if a storm had swept through Fuxi’s mind. Thoughts emerged one after another, and were then erased by him.

In the end, Fuxi simply stopped thinking about it and looked at Qi Yu seriously.

“Fellow Daoist, I have something to ask you.”

“Fellow Daoist Fuxi, please speak.”

“Did you come here to represent only your own ideas? Is it the idea of ​​the Daiyu lineage? Or is it the common idea of ​​Kunlun?”

There were too many possibilities, so Fuxi decided not to make blind guesses anymore. Instead, he chose to ask directly and let Qi Yu give a positive response.

Obviously, Qi Yu did not come here only to form an alliance. Between his words, he was actually hinting at asking the Fengqi Mountain lineage to abandon the God Clan and stand with Xuanmen. This was naturally a major choice for Fuxi and Nuwa, who had always known about Xuanmen’s ambitions. Before making a choice, Fuxi of course had to ask clearly on behalf of the entire Fengqi Mountain.

Otherwise, he would never have made such a hasty decision.

However, Qi Yu once again gave Fuxi an answer that was somewhat unexpected.

Qi Yu suddenly smiled at this moment, with a somewhat nonchalant look on his face. Then, his eyes became serious as he met Fuxi’s eyes and spoke at the same time.

“Do you think there is a difference?”

At this moment, Qi Yu was undoubtedly very satisfied with Fuxi’s question. The fact that the latter asked this question could only mean one thing, that the Fengqishan lineage did not reject changing its affiliation. As long as the conditions were right, the two brothers and sisters were willing to take the initiative to join the Xuanmen Xiandao system.

Therefore, what is important at this moment is whether Qi Yu’s words were just a momentary whim, or the common choice of his Daiyu lineage and even the entire Queen Mother of the West camp, or even the collective will of the entire Xuanmen including the Three Pure Ones.

As for Qi Yu’s answer, it is even more interesting.

In Fuxi’s ears, the meaning of this Xichen Emperor was clearly that there was no difference between these situations. He could not only represent the entire Daiyu Sea God lineage and the Xuanmen Immortal Sect, but he could also represent the will of the entire Xuanmen at the same time. Even the will of the Three Pure Ones was included in it? !
If this is true, it is shocking!

“Is there really no difference?”

“There really is no difference.”

Another question and an answer, but at this moment, Fuxi could truly be sure that this Emperor Xishen could indeed make decisions on behalf of the entire Xuanmen. This realization made his heart tremble again.

Immediately, he put aside the hesitation in his heart and asked a new question.

“Then, fellow Taoist, who do you think we gods should obey and act according to?”

Hearing this, Qi Yu finally laughed. How could he not hear that Fuxi was gradually loosening up and was just waiting for him to make the first move?

Immediately, Qi Yu responded with a big laugh.

“Hahahaha, Fellow Daoist Fuxi is as wise as the ocean. Don’t you know whose orders you should obey?”

“We, the gods, must naturally obey the orders of the Emperor of Heaven.”

“Since the Emperor of Heaven has not come out and has appointed the Five Gods, then in the future there will always be a primary and a secondary one. Only the one who is in the right position will be the real Emperor of Heaven.”

“My two Taoist friends, you should know who is the orthodox one, right?”

The three people present were not stupid. Fuxi and Nuwa naturally would not think that the orthodoxy Qi Yu mentioned referred to themselves. Of course, it could not be Di Jun, who was likely to be the heir directly designated by Taiyi.

The so-called orthodoxy can only be Xuanmen, or in other words, it is the general trend of immortals gradually replacing Shinto.

In response to this, Fuxi asked again.

“As Daoist friend said, the Heavenly Court should have priorities and respect the orthodoxy. My sister and I are of course clear about this, but who is the orthodoxy? It can’t be that there are multiple sources of power, right? That would be the case, with the order of the upper and lower being reversed!”

Fuxi sighed and looked at Qi Yu with Nuwa. Of course, he and his sister were well aware of the current situation of Xuanmen. Needless to say, the Three Pure Ones were the founders of the religion. Although the Emperor Xishen in front of them also had a high status, he was not the rightful Emperor of Xuanmen after all!
As for the King of the East and the Queen Mother of the West, it was not that Fuxi looked down on them, but that they were not qualified enough.

Therefore, Fuxi must be clear that if Xuanmen becomes the orthodox one in the future and the Dongji ancestral temple dominates the Nine Heavens Realm, who should be the leader?

And what role does Fengqishan play in this and what position does he occupy?
This was another crucial question, and Qi Yu certainly could not be vague. However, this time, he still spoke without thinking too much, and it was obvious that he already had an idea in mind.

I just heard him say with a smile.

“Speaking of which, fellow Daoist, you once held the throne of the Green Emperor at the end of the ancient times. You were also one of the Five Gods appointed by the Human Emperor Jiu Tou. You once held the authority of the Heavenly Court together with the other four Gods. Isn’t that right?”

Seeing Fuxi nod, Qi Yu continued.

“Now, His Majesty Taiyi has set up five divine monarchs, which is also to imitate the way of the ancient emperor, and to rule by the five directions. Is what I said correct?”

Hearing this, Fuxi and Nuwa nodded again, and then Qi Yu suddenly spoke loudly.

“But I think that although this method is good, it still has loopholes.”

“In the ancient times, the Five Gods ruled the heaven together. Just as Taoist Fuxi said, it was difficult for the government to issue orders from one source. Even though the Five Gods each had their own authority, it was still difficult to hide the many contradictions among them.”

“This method eventually led to the chaos at the end of the ancient times. The White Emperor Luohou fled and actually opened up his own demonic path. Then the three tribes fought each other, and finally a catastrophe broke out, bringing disaster to all living things.”

“Fellow Daoist Fuxi was an eyewitness to this matter, so he probably knows it better than I do.”

“Therefore, the five parties’ joint rule can only maintain temporary order, but it cannot last long, and it is absolutely unfeasible.”

“However, although this method has loopholes, it is not impossible to improve it.”

“If we can establish the Five Gods’ Palace in our heaven, not for joint governance, but for rotation, what should we do?”

“So, the position of the Heavenly Emperor circulates among the various veins, and all the gods are orthodox, so three ancestors of education are appointed to serve as the leaders of the Heavenly Court to supervise. What do you think, fellow Taoist?”

“In this way, the Heavenly Court will be stable, and the Gods and all the tribes in the prehistoric world will be able to enjoy eternal peace without any more disputes.”

“Fellow Daoist Fuxi, what do you think of my idea? Is it possible to implement it in the Heavenly Court?”
