Chapter 411: Tianque Tower Game
Wang Yi repeatedly weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

The situation of the ancestral land is now precarious. If I can use the power of the ancestral land to ascend to the throne of the Human Emperor, I may be able to gather the power of the human race in a short period of time to fight against the alliance of the four races, and at the same time, I can more calmly deal with the primitive chaos catastrophe that is coming one after another.

But just as he thought, the major forces were unwilling to accept the throne of the Human Emperor obtained in this way, and the subsequent process of integrating the human race would be full of difficulties, and might even cause internal disputes and turmoil.

“My dear elders, please allow me to consider this matter.”

Wang Yi’s brows relaxed, he raised his head, his eyes swept across everyone’s faces, and he said calmly, “This matter is of great importance. It not only concerns the safety of the ancestral land, but also the future direction of the entire human race. This emperor needs to make a careful decision.”

The high priest nodded slightly, with a look of understanding on his face: “Emperor Yi is right. Such a major matter does require careful consideration. But time is running out, I hope Emperor Yi can make a decision as soon as possible.”

Wang Yi stood up and bowed to everyone, thanking them: “Thank you for your understanding, elders. During this period, if there is any information related to the evil demons from outside the domain, I hope you can inform me in time.”

Everyone nodded.

When the high priest saw Wang Yi standing up, he smiled and looked towards Shennongyuan, and said, “Take Emperor Yi down to settle him down first, and you can take him to have a good look around the ancestral land.”

“Yes.” Shennong Yuan nodded, stood up and led Wang Yi away.

After the two left, the gate of the Queen Wa Palace closed.

Old Ji, who had remained silent from the beginning to the end, said: “Do you think that Emperor Yi is really capable of taking on the position of Human Emperor? Is this unfair to the other Dao Realm Emperors? And are the Five Great Masters behind him really trustworthy?”

“Elder Feng Xin’s concerns are reasonable, but when faced with two evils, we should choose the lesser of two evils. Compared with the current precarious situation, the threat from the Five Taizong is not that important.” The high priest shook his head slightly.

The old man beside Lao Ji stroked his beard and said calmly: “Emperor Yi is the Holy Emperor of the Fifth Taizong. If he ascends to the throne of the Human Emperor, can we ensure that he will be loyal to the human race? It’s not that I am worrying about nothing, but the group of crazy people in the Fifth Taizong never do good things.”

“If Emperor Yi ascends to the throne of the Human Emperor, the Five Great Sects will surely become the Holy Religion of the Human Race. If they, who occupy the destiny of humanity, have evil intentions, how should we respond?”

The others frowned slightly, and their hearts began to waver for a moment.

It’s not their fault. It’s just that the Fifth Emperor’s reputation is too bad and it’s hard for people to trust him.

The high priest looked calm and said slowly, “Elder Feng Shuo’s worries are not unreasonable, but I believe in the choice of Ren Zu and his people. No matter how crazy the Five Great Sects are, compared to the evil demons from outside the domain, they are nothing.”

Elder Jiang Ming echoed: “The Suizu ancestral weapon is in the hands of Emperor Yi, and according to Shennongyuan, the five guardians, Wazu, Huozu, Wenzu, and Dizu, have all helped Emperor Yi. In this case, what is there for Emperor Yi to distrust?”

Upon hearing this, Elder Feng Xin and Elder Feng Shuo fell silent.

The shaken hearts of everyone in the hall calmed down again.

Just as Elder Jiang Ming said, Emperor Yi, who is recognized by the ancestor of mankind, would never do anything to harm the human race.

The high priest looked around the room and saw that no one had any objections, so he said solemnly, “Since no one has any objections, let’s push this matter forward as soon as possible!”

After saying this, his figure vanished and left the Queen Wa Palace.

The others exchanged glances and chose to leave.

……

Shen Nong Yuan looked at Wang Yi who was enjoying the scenery along the way, and couldn’t help but ask: “Emperor Yi, in your opinion, how should this matter be decided?”

Wang Yi looked at the ancient buildings along the way and said slowly: “If I take this opportunity to ascend to the throne of the emperor, it may seem like a shortcut, but in fact, there will be endless troubles. The human race is complicated and the forces of all parties are intertwined. If I cannot convince the people with absolute strength and prestige, the throne of the emperor is just an empty title.”

Shennongyuan frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said: “What Emperor Yi said is not unreasonable, but now the ancestral land is in danger. If we can’t gather the power of the human race as soon as possible, I’m afraid…”

“I understand.” Wang Yi interrupted Shennongyuan and said with a firm look, “First, we need to learn more about the evil demons outside the domain and find a way to break their erosion barrier. At the same time, we will prepare for the expedition to Qidao Domain and use thunderous means to intimidate the alliance of the four clans.”

“In this process, I will gradually enhance the prestige of the Taiyi Dynasty and let all parties see my strength and determination. When the time is right, I will then seek the position of the Human Emperor, and that will be a natural outcome.”

Shennongyuan’s eyes flashed with admiration: “Emperor Yi has foresight. This will not only solve the urgent needs of the ancestral land, but also lay a solid foundation for gathering the strength of the human race.”

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the residence specially set up in the ancestral land, the Yihuang Palace.

In the following days, Wang Yi settled down in the Yihuang Palace, and acted as if he didn’t care about anything happening outside. This made many forces that wanted to visit him hesitate, and also made many people with ulterior motives scratch their heads.

Seven days later, at night, when the leaves of the sycamore tree outside the Yihuang Palace had fallen three inches thick, a gold-stamped visiting card quietly floated into the courtyard in the darkness.

The moment Wang Yi unfolded the leaflet, brilliant Buddha’s light shone everywhere, Zen sounds lingered, and lines of large gilded characters appeared in the air in front of the table.

[Three days later, our Buddhist and Taoist sects will hold a banquet at Tianque Tower and sincerely invite Emperor Yi to attend…]

Wang Yi narrowed his eyes, closed the visiting card, raised a faint smile at the corner of his mouth, and continued to look through the information on the table. He was not surprised by the invitations from the Buddhist and Taoist sects.

Although the Buddhist and Taoist sects were not directly founded by the Fourth Patriarch, due to their great contributions to the human race, they also enjoy the blessing of humanity and have an extraordinary status.

This banquet was probably held to test my strength, or perhaps he had some other purpose.

……

Three days later, Tianque Tower.

The building is towering into the clouds and is majestic. There are carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes on the building, and the misty clouds add a touch of mystery to the building.

Wang Yi was wearing a golden dragon robe and a crown on his head. He looked majestic and came through the air.

In front of the building, the chief monk of the Buddhist sect, Huineng, and the chief monk of the Taoist sect, Xuanjizi, had been waiting for a long time.

“Well, well, well, the Emperor Yi has come. I’m sorry for not welcoming you in person. I hope you’ll forgive me.” Huineng clasped his hands together, smiled, and spoke in a calm tone.

Xuanjizi bowed slightly, his expression calm: “We are honored that Emperor Yi is here, please come in.”

Wang Yi nodded slightly, looked around, and swept his eyes over the people in the distance. Finally, his eyes fell on the two of them, and he smiled and said, “Thank you for being so polite, both of you. This emperor has just arrived, and I still need your care.”

After saying that, the three of them walked into the Tianque Tower together.

The decoration inside the building is simple and elegant, and every detail reveals the accumulation of years and the heritage of the human race.

At the banquet, there were a dazzling array of delicacies and the sound of music, which made people feel relaxed and happy. After three rounds of wine, Huineng was the first to speak: “Emperor Yi, this time my Buddhist and Taoist sects are hosting a banquet. In addition to fulfilling our hospitality as hosts, we also want to discuss with you how to deal with the evil demons from outside the domain.”

Wang Yi put down the wine glass in his hand and said solemnly: “The matter of the evil demons outside the domain is related to the survival of the human race. Naturally, this emperor has no choice but to take responsibility. I wonder what the two sect leaders think?”

Xuanjizi stroked his beard and said slowly: “It’s not a brilliant opinion, but our Dao Sect has the support of Daozun Fude, and we know a lot about the details of the evil demons from outside the domain, as well as the means to deal with them.”

Huineng took over the conversation: “My Buddhist sect has the support of the Taoist Master of Suffering, and we also know some methods to deal with the evil demons from outside the realm.”

Wang Yi raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly, “I wonder how the two of you can tell me everything you know?”

Huineng clasped his hands together and said solemnly, “The Fifth Taizong is an evil heretic and should not interfere with the destiny of humanity, otherwise it may cause the destiny of humanity to be disturbed.”

Xuanjizi nodded slightly, and said calmly: “Emperor Yi established the Five Great Sects as the Holy Religion of the Taiyi Dynasty, and he personally served as the Holy Emperor of the Five Great Sects. All kinds of things are intended to prosper the Five Great Sects. This is against the benevolence of the Emperor.”

“A battle of destiny…” Wang Yi whispered in his heart, already understanding the purpose of the Buddhist and Taoist sects looking for him. He smiled, folded his hands, and asked back: “The Buddhist and Taoist sects want to interfere in the internal affairs of the human race? You want to… teach me to do something?!”

When Huineng and Xuanjizi heard this, their expressions changed slightly, but they still remained calm.

Huineng clasped his hands together, and said sincerely but with a bit of persistence: “Emperor Yi, please don’t misunderstand. Our Buddhist sect has always been compassionate and concerned about the safety of the human race. Naturally, we will not do anything beyond the limit.”

“But the Five Great Sects are eccentric and their actions are often contrary to the right path. If they are allowed to take root in the destiny of humanity, they may become a great trouble in the future and endanger the foundation of the human race. Our Buddhist sect is only worried about the future of the human race and has no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of the human race.”

Xuanjizi also bowed and said, “Emperor Yi, the Dao Sect pursues the way of following nature and coexisting in harmony. The rise of the Five Great Sects has disrupted the balance of destiny within the human race. If this continues, it will inevitably lead to struggles and chaos among various forces.”

“What Dao Zong said was all for the sake of the overall situation. There is no intention to overstep the mark. I just hope that Emperor Yi can weigh the pros and cons and put the long-term stability of the human race first.”

Wang Yi’s eyes were like torches, and a faint sneer hung on the corners of his mouth: “You two are talking in high-sounding terms. The human race is now facing the dual threats of the evil demons from outside the domain and the alliance of the four races. Instead of thinking about how to jointly resist the foreign enemies, you are fussing over this matter of luck. Do you think that it is easy to control me since I have just arrived in the ancestral land?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in Tianque Tower instantly dropped to freezing point, and the air around them seemed to solidify.

The crowds watching from afar, who were originally discussing in low voices, were now silent, fearing that they might accidentally anger the Emperor Yi.

Huineng sighed softly and said with compassion: “Emperor Yi, if you think so, our Buddhist sect has nothing to say. But no matter what, our original intention is for the human race.”

“If Emperor Yi can reconsider the status of the Five Great Sects, our Buddhist Sect is willing to do its best to assist Emperor Yi in fighting against the evil demons from outside the domain and the Four Clan Alliance, and contribute to protecting the human race.”

Xuanjizi continued, “The same is true for Dao Sect. As long as Emperor Yi can make the right choice, everyone in Dao Sect will follow Emperor Yi’s lead and go through fire and water without hesitation.”

Wang Yi leaned back in his chair, looking relaxed, his fingers tapping lightly on the table, making rhythmic sounds.

He seemed to be thinking, and also seemed to be putting pressure on the two. After a long while, he slowly said, “I understand what you mean, but the matter of the Five Grand Emperors involves many things, and it is not something that can be decided overnight. I need time to weigh the pros and cons carefully.”

Huineng and Xuanjizi were delighted and were about to speak, but Wang Yi raised his hand to stop them.

“But during this period, if the Buddhist and Taoist sects can come up with practical ways to fight against the evil demons from outside the domain and make some progress in resisting the alliance of the four races, this emperor will naturally re-evaluate the status and role of various forces in the human race.”

Wang Yi’s eyes were sharp as he spoke word by word.

Huineng and Xuanjizi thought to themselves that Emperor Yi was indeed thoughtful and did not give in easily. But it was not without reason. At this critical moment, whoever could make a greater contribution to resisting foreign enemies would naturally have more say.

Huineng clasped his hands together and said sincerely: “Emperor Yi has a far-sighted plan. Our Buddhist sect will definitely go all out and contribute to resisting foreign enemies.”

Xuanjizi cupped his hands and said, “Dao Zong also wishes.”

Wang Yi nodded slightly, looked at the screen behind the two of them, and said, “That’s great. Now that we have reached an agreement, let the person behind the screen show up.”

As soon as the words were spoken, two figures slowly walked out from behind the screen.

“Yan Beitian, meet Emperor Yi.”

“Zhao Qian, meet Emperor Yi.”

The two men came to the table and bowed with sad faces.

“No need to be so polite.” Wang Yi looked at the two of them, his Void Eyes moving, checking them inside and out, making sure that the two had not been infected by anything strange before he withdrew his gaze.

“Thank you, Emperor Yi.” Yan Beitian and Zhao Qian stood up and stood there in silence.

“Tell me, what do you two want to see me?” Wang Yi raised his glass and took a sip, then asked casually.

Huineng and Xuanjizi closed their eyes and remained silent. They had brought the two of them here today just to complete a transaction, so naturally they didn’t want to waste any more words.

“I beg Emperor Yi to avenge my Yan State! If Emperor Yi agrees, I, Yan Beitian, will repay this kindness even if I have to sacrifice my life.” Yan Beitian knelt on the ground with a sad and sincere expression.

“I am willing to serve the Emperor Yi at all costs, and only ask that the Emperor Yi take action to destroy the evil demons entrenched in Zhaodao Domain and avenge the entire Zhao Kingdom!” Zhao Qian prostrated himself on the ground, his eyes filled with tremendous hatred.

Wang Yi looked at the two of them, frowning slightly. He leaned back, stroking his chin, and said calmly: “As the emperor of the Dao Realm and one of the candidates for the Human Emperor, I will naturally take action to deal with the evil demons from outside the realm. You don’t need to pay anything.”

Yan Beitian stood up, his tiger eyes filled with tears, his handsome and resolute face full of grief, and pleaded: “There are still living people in Yandaoyu, please help them, Emperor Yi.”

“Yes, the human race in Zhao Daoyu needs Emperor Yi. Please, Emperor Yi, help and save them.” Zhao Qian raised his head, his eyes filled with tears, and the earnestness in his eyes almost overflowed.

Wang Yi frowned even more tightly, and his eyes gradually dimmed. He leaned forward, looked down at the two people at the table, and said faintly: “I am very curious, is this your idea, or the idea of ​​the Buddhist and Taoist sects, or the idea of ​​the ancestral elders’ council?”

Yan Beitian and Zhao Qian’s faces froze and they hurriedly opened their mouths to explain.

Wang Yi didn’t want to listen to their explanations at all. He just froze them in place, turned his head to look at Huineng and Xuanjizi who were keeping their eyes closed and silent, and said indifferently: “You two, don’t you have anything to say to me?”

He is not a fool. It goes without saying how terrifying the power of the extraterritorial evil demon that could cause the fall of Yan Daoyu and Zhao Daoyu is.

Since the fall of the two great Dao realms, the ancestral land has not yet taken back the two great Dao realms from the evil demons, which shows how dangerous it is.

He is not yet the Human Emperor, and it is impossible for him to use the lives of the Taiyi Dynasty soldiers to fill this bottomless pit just because of the pleas of Yan Beitian and the others.
