Man in the wilderness, Shui Yuan becomes a saint

Chapter 161 Negotiation in Progress

Chapter 161 Negotiation in Progress (asking for monthly tickets!)

After hearing what Qi Yu said, Nuwa was obviously shocked. The amount of information in it was so huge and so subversive that the Earth Mother was really stunned for a moment and didn’t know what to say.

On the other hand, his brother Fuxi obviously accepted Qi Yu’s words well. However, at this moment, Fuxi also fell into silence, obviously thinking about the pros and cons in order to make the final decision.

What does Qi Yu’s proposal mean? Of course, it means he is not convinced by Taiyi!
The core point of his proposal is that the Five Gods will take turns to rule the world! Three great leaders will also be set up to monitor the Heavenly Court and hold power!
After this concept came into being, it no longer mattered whether it was Taiyi, the Five Gods of the present, or even the Five Emperors of Heaven in the future. After all, the inherent order of Heaven would inevitably be overturned under the new system. In other words, this was anti-Heaven and the attempt to rebuild the Second Heaven!
Of course, in the words of Taoism, this is certainly not a rebellion, but rather following the will of heaven and allowing those with virtue to take control of the central government and occupy the orthodox position.

Then who is the virtuous person?

Judging from Qi Yu’s attitude at the moment, it is naturally the many great gods of Xuanmen, such as the Three Pure Ones of East Kunlun, and Qi Yu himself in front of him. Of course, if his brother and sister join them, they will probably become one of the virtuous people.

The risks are naturally not small, but the rewards are also great. For a moment, Fuxi found it difficult to make a decision.

In fact, unlike some other emperors of the gods, Fuxi was not so attached to Shinto. On the one hand, he gave up the throne of the Green Emperor in the past, and failed in the competition with Taiyi for the throne of the Heavenly Emperor. On the other hand, the brother and sister were now suppressed by the Earth Emperor Palace and were wary of by the Heavenly Emperor’s lineage.

Since he does not enjoy any rights, Fuxi naturally does not want to take on too much responsibility. This is human nature and is obviously beyond reproach.

But no matter how to say it, something like rebelling against heaven is still too big. It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that one will be doomed to eternal damnation, but one may also end up like Luohou and Zulong, so naturally one must make a careful decision.

After thinking for a moment, Fuxi spoke, and this time he asked a new question.

“What you said is of course very good, but I’m afraid this method is somewhat contrary to the will of His Majesty Taiyi. What will you do then?”

“Of course there will be no rush.”

Hearing this, Qi Yu smiled and waved his hand, and said again.

“Speaking of which, His Majesty Taiyi, if he participates in the creation, he will surely be able to attain the Dao of Hunyuan and achieve the supreme sainthood. If His Majesty Taiyi succeeds in attaining the Dao, the Emperor of Heaven will deal with the demonic troubles. Even if it is to plow the court and sweep the caves, it will surely be a piece of cake for the Heavenly Court.”

“But then again, it’s good to think things through. After all, I am in charge of a divine palace. At this critical moment, I can’t help but think more. I hope fellow Taoist Fuxi won’t laugh at me.”

At this moment, the meaning of Qi Yu’s words was very clear. He was not optimistic that Taiyi would be able to achieve enlightenment and was absolutely pessimistic about it. That was why he planned to rebel against the gods and establish another Heavenly Court.

Of course, this cannot be said openly, not to mention that the two sides have not reached a consensus at the moment. Even if they really reached a consensus, it is risky to make irresponsible remarks about the Emperor of Heaven! Fortunately, Fuxi and Nuwa are both smart people. Of course, they can hear the meaning behind Qi Yu’s words. Therefore, for the sake of caution, it is always good to keep it to yourself.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Fuxi nodded slightly, and then began to think about the strength comparison between the two sides again.

In fact, Fuxi is still very optimistic about Xuanmen. Let’s not talk about how terrifying the potential of the Emperor Xishen is for now, let’s just talk about the Three Pure Ones on East Kunlun. They are three almost invincible existences.

Especially the Taiqing Daode Tianzun among them, who is probably a supreme being who is no less powerful than Taiyi. With this one person, Xuanmen has increased its chances of winning by three points.

Taking into account what Qi Yu said, that he planned to take action after Taiyi failed to prove his Dao and the Heavenly Court was leaderless, then in Fuxi’s view, even if Di Jun or Di Jiang ascended the throne as the Fifth Heavenly Emperor, with the background of the gods, the Xuanmen side would still have a great chance of winning.

A most powerful celestial being who holds an innate treasure definitely has that kind of background!

Just as Qi Yu was quietly waiting for Fuxi’s reply and Fuxi was still thinking, Nuwa, who had been offline for a long time, suddenly came online. She spoke at this moment and raised a question that Fuxi had inadvertently ignored.

“Fellow Daoist Qi Yu, could it be that you know the current situation of the Purple Light Palace?”

The truth cannot be hidden. Although the Purple Light Queen had acted powerfully at the grand court meeting in Heaven and demonstrated her invincibility, many people even thought that she was going to try to prove the truth together with the Taitian Emperor and create a story of a couple of saints.

However, as the Queen’s close friends who used to frequent the Purple Light Palace, Nuwa, Queen Mother of the West and other goddesses in heaven who were originally very close to the Purple Light Queen, have sensed something unusual from the Purple Light Palace’s recent attitude towards the outside world.

After experiencing the battle between the Five Divine Lords, this intuition was magnified at this moment.

Could it be that, as some rumors say, the Purple Light Queen was not in seclusion, making final preparations for the impact on the Primordial Saint Realm, but something really went wrong, forcing Taiyi to make a desperate bet? !

If this is true, then this is big news that will shock the entire God Clan!
Hearing Nuwa’s question, Qi Yu was shocked. He felt that these ancient goddesses really had accurate intuition in some aspects. Taiyi and Queen Zi Guang were trying their best to conceal the truth and divert the attention of the gods, but he didn’t expect that part of the truth was still known to them.

However, Qi Yu did not give a direct answer to Nuwa’s question. After all, since he was entrusted by the Purple Light Queen, he had to be loyal to her. This kind of news was of great importance. Even if Nuwa had guessed it, it would not be easy for him to tell her everything.

In the end, Qi Yu only gave an ambiguous answer. However, for Fuxi and Nuwa, this ambiguous answer itself was equivalent to a statement, which was enough for them to make corresponding judgments.

Immediately, the brother and sister looked at each other and made a decision in their hearts –

This is doable!

Comparing the paper strength of both sides, it is not difficult to see how huge an advantage the Xuanmen side has now.

First of all, there are the Three Pure Ones. Among them there is the terrifying and powerful Lord of Dao and Virtue who is already on the verge of attaining enlightenment, as well as Yuanshi and Lingbao who are about to take a further step and be on par with their elder brothers. In terms of top combat power, Xuanmen no longer has any problem.

Secondly, among the high-level combat forces, Xuanmen has the existence of Qi Yu who goes against common sense and can serve as a pillar. Strong men such as the Queen Mother of the West and Zhen Yuanzi are definitely not weak. Under the command of the Dongji ancestral court, there are even more powerful people and many Taoist monarchs. Their strength is enough to fight against any one of the witches and monsters.

Finally, Xuanmen nowadays is not short of allies. The Taiyin lineage of the Daiyu lineage represented by Qi Yu has obviously completely bet on Xuanmen. These are all ancient and profound Taoist traditions of the gods. Now, his own lineage also plans to join them.

The sum of these paper strengths is “harmony among people”, and if Taiyi really fails to prove his truth and the Purple Light Queen cannot take action, then it is “harmony of heaven”.

The only thing missing was “geographical advantage”, which was actually not that important at this moment. Thinking of this, Fuxi had already made his own decision in his heart.

“As a divine monarch of the divine race, you are thoughtful and considerate, which is of course a good thing. It is better to be prepared.”

“However, the rotation of the Five Gods is a matter of great importance. If this is really going to happen, I wonder how you plan to arrange the details? Will the Five Gods be promoted directly to the position of God in Heaven, or will we choose other virtuous and capable people to occupy the high position in Heaven?”

When Fuxi spoke again at this moment, his words were much more straightforward. Apart from the pretext of “being prepared for any eventuality”, it was almost certain that he was dividing the spoils.

Qi Yu was very satisfied with this. Since Fuxi was willing to talk about this, it meant that he had already accepted his invitation. From then on, Fengqishan would become a member of Xuanmen, or in other words, a member of his lineage.

It can be imagined that the two sides will be the closest allies for a long time in the future. This situation will at least continue until Xuanmen completely wins. Therefore, it is not a big problem to speak frankly at this moment.

Immediately, Qi Yu started laughing.

“Since there is already a legal system in my God Clan, the rotation of the Heavenly Emperor should naturally be determined according to the legal system.”

“In my opinion, the Five Gods should come from the Blue, Red, Yellow, White and Black Emperors. When they take turns, they inherit the Three Sovereigns’ legal system and take charge of the government.” “As for the rotating leader, since he is not a member of the Heavenly Emperor, he is not considered one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. I heard that during the evolution of the Heavenly Dao, the three great positions of Xuan, Yuan and Shi came into being. In my humble opinion, this can be the foundation of the rotating leader.”

“Of course, this is just my humble opinion. What do you two fellow Taoists think of this arrangement?”

With these words, Qi Yu had already explained clearly the future structure of the Heavenly Court under the supervision of the Emperor of Heaven. Fuxi had of course heard of the so-called “Xuan, Yuan, and Shi” three masters. They were probably the destiny of the Three Pure Ones. They were indeed one of the foundations of the ancient world with extremely important status, and it was not an exaggeration to put them on par with the Three Sovereigns and Emperors of Heaven.

After all, judging from the future situation, the Emperor of Heaven may only be on par with one of the Three Pure Ones. It is definitely impossible for him to fight against three alone.

In addition, Xuanmen was founded by the Three Pure Ones after all, and it belongs to the Taoist tradition of the three Kunlun Celestial Lords. They set up a new heaven, and even used Xuanmen as the foundation, but they wanted to kick them out? That was obviously not realistic at all!

If you dare to do this, the Three Purities will definitely let you experience the profoundness of the unity of the Three Purities!

As for the arrangement of the rotating Heavenly Emperor, Fuxi would not have any dissatisfaction. He had been the first Green Emperor and had even once ruled the Heavenly Court in the late ancient times. It would not be difficult for him to return to that position now, but he was just worried about Taiyi.

Now, by joining Qi Yu’s camp, he can not only keep the position of Green Emperor and win a rotating position of Heavenly Emperor for Fengqi Mountain, but he is also expected to go one step further and take charge of the throne of Heavenly Emperor that he was just one step away from but missed in the past during his term of office!
This was obviously a very good deal for Fuxi.

At this moment, the only two things that still worried Fuxi were the authority of the rotating leader and the ownership of the throne of the Emperor of Earth.

As for the former, although the rotating leader is only in charge of supervision, the Three Pure Ones are one after all, and their strength is too transcendent, so Fuxi would naturally have some worries in his heart.

As for the latter, he obviously saw his sister’s obsession with the position of Emperor of Earth. If the Emperor of Heaven on duty wanted to be promoted to one of the Three Emperors, he was afraid that one day it would be the turn of the Emperor of Earth’s Palace, which would obviously be a trouble.

In response to this, Fuxi did not drag his feet, but asked directly, hoping that Qi Yu could give him a suitable answer.

Of course, Qi Yu had already considered these two questions from Fuxi, so he just smiled indifferently.

“My two fellow Taoists, there is really no need to worry too much.”

“Let’s talk about the rotating leader first. The rotating leader’s duty is to educate, not to rule the world. Just like in the current Dongji Ancestral Temple, Dong Wanggong is the Heavenly Emperor and can be called the Lord of the Ancestral Temple. The three Heavenly Lords have never interfered in the affairs of the Dongji Ancestral Temple.”

“Since it was like this before, I can assure you two fellow Taoists that the three Heavenly Lords will naturally do the same in the future.”

“In addition, the two Taoist friends must not forget one thing. The three Heavenly Lords have also long been masters of creation, and they will eventually achieve the Dao of Primordial Chaos.”

“If the matter is successful, then there will be saints in heaven to teach and enlighten us, which is of course reasonable. If the matter is not successful, Taoist Fuxi will not have to think so much. Taoist friend, tell me, is what I said right or wrong?”

Qi Yu did not say anything about the inevitable separation of the Three Pure Ones. Although the three brothers had already had differences in their paths, it was not the turn of an “outsider” like him to make comments, let alone in front of the two “strangers” Fuxi and Nuwa.

But even the reasons that Qi Yu could give were basically enough for Fuxi. Indeed, even if he could not trust the character of the Three Pure Ones, it was a fact that the Three Pure Ones would eventually attain the Dao of Hunyuan.

Since it was impossible for him to achieve enlightenment before the Three Pure Ones, there were only two possible outcomes:

If the Three Pure Ones have accomplished their mission and are the saints of the time, there would be nothing for everyone to say and everyone would just accept it. Otherwise, even if it is the Emperor of Heaven, so what? Does the Emperor of Heaven have the capital to fight against Hunyuan?
That’s obviously not the case.

As for the Three Pure Ones, if they fail to attain enlightenment, then there will be no problem at all.

Failure to prove the truth means sitting in meditation and death. Could this still affect the living Heavenly Emperor on duty?

It has to be said that although this mentality is extremely negative, it is very correct. For a moment, Fuxi also felt that he was worrying too much and actually raised a question that was not qualified to be called a problem.

Now that the first question has been solved, Qi Yu naturally has to answer the second question.

At this moment, Nuwa and Fuxi both looked at Qi Yu. Nuwa was closely related to this matter, while Fuxi cared about his sister’s thoughts and attitude.

Seeing this, Qi Yu remained calm and composed. He only spoke calmly after taking a sip of the fairy tea.

“As for the rotation of the Five Gods and their promotion to the Three Emperors, it is really no big deal in my opinion.”

“After all, I have already obtained one of the Three Emperors. Fellow Daoist Nuwa is the Emperor of the Earth. I think it shouldn’t be a problem for me to first become the Central Yellow Emperor and then become the Supreme Emperor of the Earth, right?”

Qi Yu’s meaning was very clear. In the Fengqi Mountain lineage, not only Fuxi, the ancient Green Emperor, could take the position of Heavenly Emperor, but Nuwa, the heir of the Earth Emperor Palace, could do the same.

Of course, as the price of exchange, the karma and legal system of the Emperor of Earth’s lineage must naturally be incorporated into the immortal path. This is a mutual compromise between both parties.

Hearing this, Nuwa was half surprised and half confused.

The reason for the surprise was, of course, that he had already obtained one of the Three Emperors’ legal lines that Qi Yu had mentioned. Since the throne of the Heavenly Emperor was still in the hands of Taiyi, and it was obvious that the successor would be Emperor Jun, then what Qi Yu held in his hands could only be the legal lineage of the Human Emperor.

This made Nuwa very confused. Could it be that the Purple Light Queen really trusted Qi Yu so much? Even the other heirs of the imperial palace would never receive such treatment, right? Could it be that this Xichen Emperor was the illegitimate son of the Queen?
As for the dilemma, it lies in the issue of who should take charge of the legal lineage of the Emperor of Earth. In fact, Nuwa naturally knows that no matter whether she has attained enlightenment or succeeded or not, it is impossible for her to always hold the throne of the Emperor of Earth. As long as she can use the situation to suppress Hou Tu and eventually seize the throne of the Emperor of Earth, she can accept Qi Yu’s rotation in principle.

But if the position of the Emperor of Earth and his law were unified and brought into the Xuanmen and converted into the foundation of the immortal way, this would challenge Nuwa’s bottom line.

For a moment, Nuwa was torn between her own conscience and her own desires. This matter was not a big deal, but it was not a small matter either. The only thing that worried Nuwa was whether the Earth Emperor’s Yuan Ling could continue his past foundation in the immortal way.

After all, the position of Emperor of Earth was inherited from Yue Jian, and the Yuanling Dharma image naturally came from the first Emperor of Earth. In a sense, this contained the opportunity for Yue Jian to return again. Since Nuwa regarded Yue Jian as her father, it was absolutely impossible for her to cut off the foundation for Yue Jian’s return for the sake of her own path.

However, changing one’s status from the Emperor of Earth to the Immortal Path naturally involves such risks, and this is the core reason for Nuwa’s hesitation.

Seeing this, Qi Yu naturally realized this, but he did not rush to say anything. Instead, he spoke only when Nuwa’s inner struggle had reached a peak, and comforted Nuwa’s anxiety.

“Fellow Daoist Nuwa, are you worried about the Yuanling Dharma Image of His Majesty Yue Jian?”

“If that’s the case, then you don’t need to be so anxious. The emperor is not without a chance to return. On the contrary, whether His Majesty Yue Jian can successfully reincarnate is in your hands! It all depends on what choice you make!”
