Chapter 696: Shennong’s Spirit Conception Pill!

　　Emperor Da Yu was a little stunned.

　　He took advantage of Jie School’s wedding to look for someone. Before he entered, Daoist Duobao smiled and asked, “Fellow Daoist, where did you come from?”

　　Something was wrong. Something was very wrong.

　　Emperor Da Yu smiled and said, “I came from the Fire Cloud Cave.”

　　“I don’t think we gave the Fire Cloud Cave an invitation.” Lu Yue frowned and said, “Fellow Daoist, you are…”

　　“Human, Da Yu.”

　　Daoist Duobao asked, “Fellow Daoist, how do you prove yourself?”

　　Emperor Da Yu widened his eyes.

　　Authentication? Did I experience so much in ancient times for nothing?

　　Although he was ranked last among the Three Emperors and Five Kings, he was still a representative of the human race. He also had a wisp of Primordial Violet Qi. His cultivation level was also considered a great mystical ability.

　　This!

　　Yes, it was very much like Changgeng.

　　Emperor Da Yu took half a step forward with his thick body. A stream of light trembled in his palm and condensed into a purple flame.

　　“Can the human race’s Torch Flame and Primordial Violet Qi prove themselves?”

　　Duobao carefully sensed it and bowed. He deliberately looked relieved and smiled.

　　“Human Emperor, don’t blame me. Human Emperor, don’t blame me. I’m just a little nervous because I received news that the Western Sect is coming to cause trouble. Quickly come in. Are you here to look for Junior Brother Changgeng?”

　　Da Yu smiled and nodded. He cupped his hands at Daoist Duobao and was welcomed into the Green Touring Palace by the two experts of Jie School.

　　He sent a voice transmission to remind Daoist Duobao not to make it public. He came rather quietly and went to Li Changshou’s table with everyone watching.

　　Li Changshou had already stood up to welcome him. Daoist Huang Long tactfully moved to another spot and gave up the spot beside Li Changshou.

　　Li Changshou cupped his hands and bowed.

　　“I didn’t go out to welcome you. Senior, please don’t blame me.”

　　Da Yu nodded with a smile and replied via voice transmission, “You should. You’re representing the Heavenly Courts now. You don’t have to care about that.”

　　Then, the two of them sat down at the same time. Li Changshou tapped his fingers on the table, but Emperor Da Yu adjusted his sitting position slightly. Under the table… he placed his left foot on Li Changshou’s calf.

　　The “Celestial Thearch II” frowned slightly.

　　Of course, he did not care that Changgeng was too close to the Great Yu Emperor. He would definitely not care. He was the Heavenly Emperor. What could be more loyal than the Heavenly Emperor and the ordinary gods of authority in the Heavenly Courts?

　　Definitely not!

　　Da Yu’s actions were actually to make it easier for him to send a voice transmission while staying rather secretive.

　　Considering the fact that Emperor Da Yu had become an outdated Human Emperor, he should be talking about the human race.

　　Dong Deqi calmly picked up food with the other end of the jade chopsticks and ate. He had no intention of eavesdropping at all. In other words, for the sake of the Heavenly Courts’ official business, he was slightly concerned about the conflict between the living beings and the world.

　　Within the scope of responsibility.

　　Therefore, the Jade Emperor calmly adjusted his sitting posture and accidentally stepped on the edge of Li Changshou’s Daoist robe.

　　Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

　　I almost forgot that His Majesty is magnanimous.

　　Before he could remind Emperor Da Yu, Emperor Da Yu’s words kept coming.

　　“Changgeng, there’s a huge problem. Senior Fuxi deduced for a long time and finally confirmed a calamity that was launched by the Heavenly Dao. You also know that in ancient times, when the human race began to separate the immortals from mortals, the Heavenly Dao was actually behind it. The Heavenly Dao’s plan was very brilliant. It valued mortals and underestimated immortals. I know that there’s nothing wrong with that. Protecting the weak and giving the living beings relative fairness is the good side of the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Courts. However, if the human race encounters the unfairness of the Heavenly Dao again, the strength to resist will become weaker and weaker. The immortals were separated from their destiny. The few of us analyzed the human, spirit, immortal, demon, and ghost system that you deduced previously. We realized that you seemed to have seen the problem a long time ago. You deliberately combined the power of living beings and diluted the negative effects of the separation of human immortals and mortals. Is that so?”

　　Li Changshou thought, ‘That’s true.’

　　However, it’s not good to say that in front of the Jade Emperor.

　　“Emperor, please.”

　　Li Changshou quietly raised his wine cup and drank with Emperor Da Yu. He sent a voice transmission.

　　“I actually didn’t consider that. It should be a coincidence. At that time, I was actually thinking of a way to protect mortals when immortals and mortals cannot be separated.”

　　The Jade Emperor’s incarnation at the side immediately smiled calmly.

　　Emperor Da Yu smiled and nodded. He gave Li Changshou a thumbs-up under the table and continued to send a voice transmission.

　　“The more we think about your system, the more impressive we feel. The needs of the Heavenly Dao, the needs of the Heavenly Courts, and the needs of the human race must be considered. Moreover, it is in line with the evolution of the world. However, Changgeng, I did not tell your incarnation that I came to look for your main body this time. There is something important that is related to this. I want to look for a countermeasure.”

　　Li Changshou nodded slowly and sent a voice transmission.

　　“Emperor, please tell me. If there’s anything I need to do, I will naturally think carefully and do my best.”

　　“Yes.” Emperor Da Yu slowly exhaled.

　　A worried voice sounded in Li Changshou’s heart. “According to Senior Fuxi’s divination, after the Great God-Conferment Tribulation, there will probably be no Human Emperor in the South Continent.”

　　Li Changshou paused.

　　The Jade Emperor’s incarnation beside him frowned slightly. However, he quickly retracted his feet that were stepping on Li Changshou’s Daoist robe and continued eating and drinking.

　　Li Changshou put down his chopsticks and asked via voice transmission, “What do you mean?”

　　Emperor Da Yu pondered for a while and continued to send a voice transmission.

　　“According to the divination, the king of the Shang Nation, Di Xin, will be the last human emperor. After that, he will be the emperor of the human race and will be appointed as the Son of Heaven. The king of the human race will be appointed to the heavens. According to the divination, the Shang Dynasty will be the Zhou Dynasty. After the Zhou Nation defeatss the Shang Nation, the Human Emperor will call himself the Son of Heaven… Perhaps you will participate in this matter when the time comes.”

　　Li Changshou closed his eyes and pondered quietly.

　　“Seniors, what do you mean?”

　　Emperor Da Yu picked up a mouthful of food and sent a voice transmission. “According to Senior Suiren’s final instructions, I’ll follow your arrangements. However, that will also give you a lot of pressure. Therefore, we have also discussed. Our opinion is that we should deal with all changes as long as we don’t change. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be the one looking for you. I would be inviting you to the Fire Cloud Cave to discuss how to send troops.”

　　Li Changshou fell silent and pondered quietly.

　　Clearly, the Dao Ancestor had already begun to end the battle.

　　The divination image was still internally related to the operation of the Heavenly Dao. What the divination image could already see was clearly the “more likely future events” that the Heavenly Dao had prepared.

　　Previously, he had focused on the immortals and gods in the Great God-Conferment Tribulation. That was indeed not enough.

　　It was not a mistake on his part. It was purely because the current mortal human emperor was useless. His plan did not involve the mortals.

　　Mortals did not need to know too much. It was fine as long as they had the energy to live.

　　The rise of the Heavenly Courts, the suppression of the human path by the Heavenly Dao, and even becoming the help of the Heavenly Dao, the destruction of the Saint’s sect, and the decline of the power of living beings to the point where they could not resist the Heavenly Dao. The Saint had lost the power to take the initiative and resist…

　　The Dao Ancestor had schemed so many things during the Great God-Conferment Tribulation.

　　In terms of the overall situation, he was far inferior to the Dao Ancestor.

　　Emperor Da Yu waited for a while. When he saw that Li Changshou did not speak, he frowned and asked “Is there a solution to this situation?”

　　“From the looks of it, it’s indeed gone,” Li Changshou said. “The Fire Cloud Cave is already one of the few places where living beings’ flames are gathered. Senior, please protect yourself first. It was not a bad thing for mortals to live according to the Heavenly Dao. However, outside the South Continent, the human race should unite all living beings. First, he had to stabilize the situation. The human race was fighting the Heavenly Dao. Instead, the living beings were fighting the Heavenly Dao. If there was a battle in the future, the human race could continue to prosper even if they lost. Although doing so is a little inappropriate for the other races, the large waves will not affect the ship and the small boat will collapse. In the end, the Magi and other races will probably disappear.”

　　Da Yu pondered for a while and asked, “Changgeng, do you mean to use mortals as the last foundation of the human race to let the human Qi Refinement cultivators fight? Then, where is the opportunity?”

　　“The timing is not clear,” Li Changshou said softly. “Perhaps there won’t be such an opportunity, but seniors, please remember. One of the fifty Great Dao escaped. The Heavenly Dao is not omnipotent. Everything is mutually beneficial and resistant. Everything is in the Yin-Yang Twin Fish.”

　　Da Yu was speechless.

　　It was a familiar tone.

　　Isn’t that what they usually use to teach juniors a lesson?

　　However, Da Yu was really relieved. The anxiety in his eyes disappeared.

　　He was naturally not a simple person since he could become the Human Emperor back then.

　　To tell a joke, after the human race became the protagonist of the world at the end of the ancient times, they implemented the Zen system.

　　That was indeed a Zen system. However, most of the time, a tribe would rise and become powerful. They would first become a substantial leader of the world and be supported by other tribes. The old leader felt that he could not hold on any longer, so he announced to the world that the position of the Human Emperor was given to the next one.

　　It was very realistic.

　　Apart from his own merits, the position of the Human Emperor, Yu the Great, was obtained through accumulating reputation and fighting everywhere. How could he not understand the twists and turns?

　　Li Changshou had already said, “Senior, don’t be afraid. Be steady. I have a way to deal with the Heavenly Dao. However, I need to wait for the opportunity to make everyone calm down. Keep your strength and unite the power of living beings. Wait for my signal later. Let’s do something huge!”

　　Indeed, heroes come from the younger generation.

　　The waves of the river hit the beach.

　　Da Yu said, “I will definitely not say a word and pass it to the seniors.”

　　Li Changshou cupped his hands and picked up the wine bottle. He smiled and said, “Let me toast to you, Emperor Da Yu.”

　　“Ah, you’re welcome, Lord Taibai Jinxing.” Da Yu waved his hand warmly. “Everyone, have a drink.”

　　The style of the Emperor made the Jade Emperor’s new incarnation call him an expert.

　　…

　　The Human Emperor, the Son of Heaven.

　　The difference felt huge, but in fact, it was not huge.

　　Li Changshou had to admit that he was acting when he told Emperor Da Yu that.

　　He wanted to increase the confidence of the Fire Cloud Cave and the Emperors. He wanted them to feel that they had a chance of winning.

　　Thinking about it, the Shang Tribe had yet to be established. The matter of Li Changshou setting up an immortal contract had already vaguely coincided with the needs of the Heavenly Dao.

　　The immortal contract had already restricted the human emperor to the Heavenly Courts.

　　However, at that time, Li Changshou was not provoked by Qi Yuan’s master’s death. At that time, his thoughts were very simple. He felt that even if there was a certain problem with the Heavenly Dao and the Dao Ancestor, they would not go overboard.

　　Later on, he realized…

　　Apart from being too much, it was simply too much!

　　He was a man who felt a strong sense of danger. Ever since the Golden Crow was affected by the calamity and spat a Turbid Immortal to death, he had been thinking.

　　In order to achieve his goal, would the Heavenly Dao be unscrupulous?

　　During the ten years that he had been in seclusion in the Primordial Chaos Golden Chalice, Li Changshou had been thinking and judging the situation. In the end…

　　He engraved the Heavenly Dao of Equalization into his Great Dao of Equalization.

　　All the plans had already taken shape at that time.

　　Under the gaze of the Heavenly Dao’s will, Li Changshou thought of hundreds of ways to break through the situation. He rejected and disassembled them one by one.

　　That was the only possibility.

　　On that path, Li Changshou had completed the most crucial step—becoming one of the escape routes.

　　That was the only way he could protect himself and his friends.

　　In the beginning, Li Changshou did not consider too many human positions. No matter how he deduced, the mortals of the South Continent were entities that the Heavenly Dao had to protect.

　　The human race would not be destroyed. That was the ideal form of living beings in the Heavenly Dao.

　　The Heavenly Dao wanted to suppress the power of living beings, but the power of living beings could not be reduced by too much because it was an important part of the power of the Heavenly Dao.

　　The Dao Ancestor naturally understood more than anyone that the world was born for living beings. If living beings were gone, the world would end.

　　However, Suiren’s entrustment…

　　Therefore, he had already been embroiled in strange karma.

　　It was a little ironic that the person who had personally written the Steadiness Sutra violated the core principles of the Steadiness Sutra.

　　That must be the weakness of living beings.

　　Li Changshou wanted to shout, “There is a limit to human beings. I’m not a Dao Ancestor anymore!”

　　Emperor Da Yu had come to discuss this matter with Li Changshou’s main body. He would not attract too much attention with the commotion.

　　After receiving Li Changshou’s reply, Emperor Da Yu took the initiative to congratulate Zhao Gongming and the Goddess of Golden Spirit. Then, he took out a precious congratulatory gift.

　　Shennong Spirit Conception Pill!

　　This item did not have much use. It could resolve the problem of Connate lifeforms having children to a certain extent.

　　Zhao Gongming had also drunk some wine. At that moment, he was a little overwhelmed. He pulled Emperor Da Yu and sighed. He almost revealed the joy he has in his bedroom in public.

　　After giving him the pills, Emperor Da Yu said that it was not convenient for him to stay outside for long. He bade farewell and returned to the Fire Cloud Cave.

　　Li Changshou went out to send him off. He sent Emperor Da Yu out of the Green Touring Palace and returned to continue the banquet.

　　The banquet lasted for half a month.

　　Zhao Gongming suddenly realized that the congratulatory gifts he had received from his wedding were more than ten times of what he had obtained from lying in the Western Sect!

　　At that moment, Master Zhao seemed to have grasped the wealth password.

　　Of course, Brother Zhao was still Brother Zhao. Those treasures were useless to him and the Goddess of Golden Spirit. After the wedding ended, most of them were distributed to the disciples of Jie School.

　　The reputation of the couple in the sect soared!

　　After the wedding ended, Ling’e was pulled to the Three-Immortal Island by Sister Yun Xiao. Li Changshou also sent Elder Moon and the Jade Emperor’s incarnation away.

　　The Green Touring Palace quickly became quiet again. Zhao Gongming left his best brothers behind and organized a small banquet on the Three-Immortal Island.

　　The Goddess of Golden Spirit was rather generous. She leaned against Zhao Gongming and smiled more than she usually did in the past half a month.

　　The people who entered the banquet were all their own people. Ling’e, Yun Xiao, Qiong Xiao, and Bi Xiao naturally did not need to be mentioned. They could not lack treasures and the Turtle Spirit.

　　Bai Ze, the head chef who had been busy for more than half a month, as well as Jiu Jiu and Jiu Wu, the chefs.

　　Originally, Zhao Gongming had invited Huang Long, but Huang Long declined and did not come.

　　It was indeed not appropriate for him to continue developing a friendship with Zhao Gongming.

　　Zhao Gongming held the wine glass and looked at the clear wine in it. For some reason, his eyes were red. He turned around and cleared his throat before grinning.

　　“Floating and sinking, yes and no. Grudges, you, me, you. Old Zhao, I thank Senior Brother, my foster sister, and my two brothers for helping me organize the wedding. I’ll drink three cups first.”

　　At that moment, Zhao Gongming drank three cups of wine.

　　He continued, “I know that the great calamity of Chan School is in front of us. What will happen in the future is unknown. However, today, I, Zhao Gongming, swear to Master that we will live and die together! I’ll do it!”

　　After saying that, he gulped it down.

　　The Goddess of Golden Spirit chided, “Why are you saying that?”

　　Zhao Gongming chuckled and sat down. He stared at the Goddess of Golden Spirit and laughed foolishly.

　　Yun Xiao said gently, “Sister-in-law, let me toast you. Brother is too straightforward sometimes. If he offends you, please forgive him.”

　　The Goddess of Golden Spirit shook her head slightly. She held the wine bottle and bumped it gently with Yun Xiao. She replied, “Don’t worry. The two of us usually can’t fight.”

　　Qiong Xiao and Bi Xiao also toasted to the Goddess of Golden Spirit. They officially recognized her as their sister-in-law.

　　Li Changshou gestured for Ling’e to serve the wine and looked at Jiu Jiu and Jiu Wu, who did not dare to speak.

　　It had been a long time since they last met. Little Aunt-Master was still… ahem, delicate.

　　She was dressed in a linen blouse. She seemed to be no different from when she was in the Immortal Du Sect. However, she looked more mature and stable now. She was less lively.

　　Instead, it became more charming.

　　The four of them toasted the Goddess of Golden Spirit together. They were considered disciples of Ren School.

　　Then, Bai Ze looked at Zhao Gongming and Li Changshou with mixed emotions. He seemed to have something to say.

　　Li Changshou naturally understood something when he saw Bai Ze’s expression. He gestured for Bai Ze to not say anything to ruin the atmosphere.

　　Bai Ze stood up and smiled at Zhao Gongming. “Next time, I’m going to the Luofu Cave to eat and drink.”

　　“Hahaha!”

　　Zhao Gongming laughed happily. He clinked his wine glass with Bai Ze and talked about the past of the Black Pool Peak.

　　After the banquet, before Bai Ze and Jiu Jiu left secretly, he took the initiative to hold Li Changshou’s arm and whispered, “Big omen.”

　　Li Changshou nodded slowly, his eyes shining.

　　“It’s reversible.”

　　Bai Ze was stunned. Then, he bowed deeply to Li Changshou and did not dare to say anything. He quickly left with Jiu Jiu, who was reluctant to part with Ling’e.
