Chapter 252

Fengxi greatly increased his knowledge.

Some female Great Luo who have lived through long ages told him many, many sly maneuvers.

Honghuang, this is a real world, a world woven with countless schemes.

In such a background, how could those great divine ability wielders who can command the winds and clouds have simple, pure good and evil?

If a person is too kind, becoming a Great Luo is the limit; wanting to improve further, how could they overcome those competitors whose hearts are rotten?

So.

Hongyun...

Not simple, nor kind.

But he can also flash a bright banner, firmly upholding the concept of kindness to others on himself, letting the legend flow into the Myriad Heavens and all ages... Behind this are heaven‑shaking methods and abilities.

In the weaving of linguistic art, there must be consummate mastery, far surpassing that of ordinary great powers.

This is a field of study.

How, without having performed the monumental feat of imprinting eternity, can one perfect one's good‑person image— the key is also being able to easily defuse when another Great Luo mobilizes subordinates to reveal the truth, forcibly lowering the heat of black history, and continuing to deceive the next batch of myriad beings... Who would dare say this isn't a field of study?

One must know that Nüwa, so exalted, pure and holy, has performed boundless merit, with countless servants under her, yet there are those who spread rumors and slander her, leaving her caught in an awkward situation between the Demon Race and humanity...

From this we can see how miraculous the abilities of that benevolent deity—Hongyun—are.

Hongyun excels at stirring up trouble without wind, fanning the flames, with tactics of 'echoing others'... a goddess Jijie exposed Hongyun's foundation to Fengxi, saying "She can convert cloud audiences, start cloud trends, invincible everywhere, dominant for a time."

His skill in promotion, marketing, and publicity once earned praise from August Emperor Majesty, who said he was comparable to the Western great power Jieyin.

His means of making a fortune aren't particularly glorious, but in the end he can retreat intact with a good reputation... making many people grit their teeth in secret resentment.

Another female Great Luo emperor—Suijie—also added.

"That impressive?" Fengxi exclaimed, "Even though he's hated, his daily life seems to be going quite well now?"

"There's nothing strange about that." Xinyin chuckled, "The more people who dislike him, the more it shows his ability... And for those top-tier figures—would they care about Hongyun's character?"

No, they won't.

If there's profit to be had, cooperation will happen.

Ordinary Great Luo may hate him, but it actually doesn't affect him; those truly capable of moving him, the great powers, don't care much about partners' reputations.

"That's the cloud cultivation you've been plotting, right?" Xinyin explained, "After you submitted it to Lady Houtu, she pondered for a while."

The Wu Clan can't handle this project, so they have to outsource it... and there are many potential contractors, great powers unaffiliated with the Wu and Demon clans, several of whom could take it on.

But why, in the end, would it be Hongyun who gets a share?

Behind that, it's both unexpected and not unexpected.

It's simply because they valued Hongyun's publicity skill.

That is the ability to handle things with ease even when facing targeted sniper attacks from high-level Demon Race.

Xinyin said, full of admiration.

If others talk to him about rules, he brings up morality.

If others talk to him about fairness, he argues about effort.

He always has a way to tilt the axis, twisting the essence of the issue to his advantage, gaining sympathy from clueless onlookers, even manufacturing a bunch of fans who can't understand and bring their own dry rations.

The goddess spread her hands, "In short, this is a tough character."

Fengxi's eye twitched.

He suddenly felt.

His wish to perfect the authority of the Blessing Great Dao suddenly became far more difficult.

I thought the weakest competitor... but actually they're not weak at all.

Fengxi silently raised Hongyun's rank in his mental list of great divine ability wielders, marking it as important.

Then he put on a big smile again, humbly asking these 'sisters' for advice, using their love of gossip to gather various deeds of the ancient Honghuang Great Luo, to make up for his information shortcomings, aiming to rise from a novice Great Luo to an ancient heavenly mandate.

"Ah... I'm having a tough time."

"If it weren't for the primordial era being jointly sealed and tampered with by the ancient gods and sages, the whole age would be a fabrication... would I really need to go through all this trouble now?"

"Just load the save... wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Fengxi muttered in his heart, yet the smile on his face grew even brighter.

Where there's a will, there is a way.

Those female Great Luo divine emperors also didn't hide much... they openly told Fengxi the well‑known information of the older generation and the irrelevant personal evaluations of the innate deities.

In a sense, this is also a form of cultivation.

Nüwa intended, Houtu planned, deciding to let Fengxi become the Wind Empress to contend with many Great Luo.

These individuals certainly are not lacking in veteran Great Luo existences... in order to avoid being overwhelmed by information, at least we must make up Fengxi's shortcomings.

But Nüwa simply can't personally explain things to Fengxi.

On one hand, doing so would too easily mix in personal subjective views, causing information discrepancies; on the other hand—Nüwa also cares about face!

How could such behind‑the‑scenes gossip about others' strengths and weaknesses be done by her, this flawless supreme goddess?

Where would her image be?

And how could she maintain absolute authority before Fengxi, such a trusted minister?

Moreover, if something went wrong and this reached Fuxi's ears... it would become a huge laughingstock, leaving him unable to hold his head up at home for years.

Nüwa is having a tough time.

So at critical moments, naturally the female retinue beneath her must step forward.

You say a word, I say a sentence—help Fengxi build a database on the ancient gods and sages.

You ask about the Dragon Ancestor?

Oh, he's undoubtedly a heroic figure... with one hand making everyone like dragons, he could almost sweep an entire era.

This is a qualified king, with broad mind and bearing, all top-notch.

Under his command, anyone can be put to use.

However, under this top-notch ability, he easily overlooks some detail problems... If we set aside the attribute of eternal Great Luo, he is likely to cause the predicament of dying in his second generation.

Yin Yin like a queen evaluating, 'He overestimates people's loyalty... He can command the top talents, can delegate power, dares to delegate power, this is a strength, also a weakness.'

When he was alive, he could naturally suppress everything; even those with different hearts and ambitions needed to lie low.

Furthermore, under his leadership, the entire force displays boundless sharpness, intimidating enemies.

But once he is no longer able...... it is very easy to capsize.

To deal with him, we have a recognized view: have ability, must endure, watch him go wild, then stab him in the back.

Fengxi listened, hurriedly noting it down in his notebook, like a diligent student attentively attending class.

……

Ah?

You ask about the Three Pure Ones Heavenly Lords?

The Three Pure Ones...... Yin Yin blinked, 'Among these three brothers, if speaking of danger level, it is certainly in order.'

Morality highest, Yuanshi next, Lingbao last.

Lingbao Heavenly Lord...... this is a pragmatic god, with foundations deep-rooted at the bottom.

However, perhaps having been in the bottom for too long, when dealing with high-level games he lacks smoothness...... and also represents the voice of certain lower beings, yet he is most likely to one day stand opposed to the great powers of Honghuang.

And Yuanshi Tianzun...... he takes the high-end route, suppressing from above, while our Honghuang heavenly will are what kind of figures...... you know this, I won't say more.

Yuanshi and Lingbao taken individually, each actually has shortcomings.

But when they join forces, neither high nor low levels lack anything, practical ability and authority fully in place, that is a qualitative change, instantly becoming hard to deal with.

But this is still not the most crucial.

The true core is their elder brother——Morality Heavenly Lord!

Everyone says he is most non-acting...... but this non‑acting, can any Tom, Dick, or Harry learn it?

Wrong, that has requirements.

Moreover, the requirements are not ordinarily high.

Yin Yin sighed, 'Vision!'

Morality Heavenly Lord's vision is extremely terrifying!

Because of the excellence of his vision, he almost always makes the correct choice, never picking the wrong side.

When the side is chosen correctly, even lying down one can fly up.

Therefore, he can be non-acting.

Fengxi suddenly realized.

He understood.

Top-notch wisdom, extraordinary vision, naturally one can easily, without doing much, yet obtain extremely rich returns.

For example, investment...... when others are starting out or in difficulty, a crucial investment stake, holding shares.

Later, the market value increases by thousands or even tens of thousands of times, principal and interest all return...... even just living off dividends, one can live worry‑free for life.

Compared to those who toil to death working, the gap appears instantly...... fully showing non‑action.

Morality Heavenly Lord's Dao is similar to Fuxi the Great Sage's Yi Dao.

Only one grasps the process, one locks in the result.

Morality Heavenly Lord, is actually a big shot in the investment field, right?

Fengxi sighed with feeling, 'Accurately grasp market dynamics, keep pace with the times...... non‑acting yet doing everything.'

Non‑not‑doing is constantly collecting and organizing information, using one's own wise vision to see the big from the small, the whole from a point, grasping the whole situation.

And non‑action is the manifestation of means, a careless placement of a piece that secures the final victory's fruit.

Right." Yin Yin nodded, then smiled, "But sometimes, just having vision isn't enough...... the qualification to sit at the table is stuck, without power one fundamentally cannot speak."

But he still has two younger brothers...... the Three Pure Ones as one, establishing the Daoist gate, this gives each other the greatest capital!

Therefore, to deal with the Three Pure Ones...... August Emperor Majesty said, we must first dismantle their system.

Let those with vision, those with pragmatic spirit...... be separated, each fighting alone.

Destroy them one by one!

So that's how it is." Fengxi nodded slightly, carefully recorded it.

……

While speaking, one also records.

Fengxi's trip to Phoenix Perch Mountain, calling out 'sister' many times, sweet little mouth, yet the reward was also abundant.

Established a basic understanding of the character and methods of the Ancient God Great Sage, to prevent future low‑level mistakes, being lured in.

Especially those who have a Great Luo Dao contention with his Five Virtues Great Dao.

Not only recording character and methods, but also having hypothetical counter‑methods.

Phoenix Perch Mountain, we've come right.

Fengxi muttered in his heart, 'This place once had the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Ruler who ruled Honghuang——Fuxi.'

Regarding the Ancient God Great Sage, the Great Luo Heavenly Will, the established files are the most complete.

Even the most important and secret, won't be leaked out, anyone could know, but...... some basic information is still quite casual.

With some commentary added, unintentionally it becomes known to the Great Luo here.

Fengxi sighed.

Fuxi...... this is truly a great good god.

All the countermeasures he knows come from that ancient Honghuang leader.

For example, the Three Pure Ones.

Although they are only rough directions, without details…… but this is enough.

In future Dao contests, his confidence will naturally increase.

If we can't resolve the Great Luo Dao contest issue through amicable negotiation and interest exchange…… then I'll have to prepare how to screw people over.

Fengxi, while turning over unspeakable thoughts in his mind, casually chatted with those goddesses, inadvertently mentioning the Feng Hou plan, indicating that he is insignificant and worries that he will hardly be able to secure that position later.

"You don't need to worry about this." Sui He said calmly, "As long as your ability is sufficient…… seniority? That's not even a problem."

Nüwa has decided it; even if you can't, it's fine!

By then, we will cooperate with you.

She outlined part of the planned operational steps.

We are unlike other Great Luo who choose to go it alone, establish their own totems…… we are all within the Feng clan.

Each will become a leader of a term of the Feng clan, inserting their own retinue to take charge of each department.

One female venerable after another holds the Feng clan…… of course, there are also those fellows." She gestured toward Fuxi's retinue not far away.

By then, if your performance is adequate…… even if your seniority is lacking, we can together show a supportive stance; what's there to fear that you won't be able to hold great power and contend externally?

She said as such.

"This…… is a dark box!" Fengxi's eyes glittered, "But I like it!"

He glanced over these female Great Luo powerhouses before him.

Sui He, Xin Yin, Yin Yin, Yu Juan, Yin Qiang……

Fengxi could envision such a scene in the future.

——Each of them, placing the Feng surname before their own divine name, becomes the leader of the Feng clan.

He is the ruler of the great Fuxi clan and also the great Nüwa clan, the human king!

And through generation after generation of leadership succession, accumulating retinue, accumulating talent, all for the sake of finally awaiting a supreme individual——

Feng Hou!

The king of the Feng clan.

He is to go undercover into Huangdi's command, the most outstanding in wisdom.

Such a great hand, all for Nüwa's final command.

To check Huangdi, ensure the stability of Nüwa's rule.

However, Fengxi thought of the rumors of that variable scene.

"In the end…… what will it be like?"
