Chapter 854: Guarding the Path

"Big brother, the human fortune is surging; I'm afraid those people can also perceive it," Xuanyuan said after being happy for a while, his face suddenly turning gloomy.

"Is the third brother worried that someone will be unfavorable to this person?"

Fuxi instantly understood Xuanyuan's worry.

The prosperous age of the Hundred Schools of Thought was the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, which no one could stop; not to mention that the gods and Buddhas filling the sky also complied with the Heavenly Dao and earned quite a bit from it.

But now that the Hundred Schools of Thought had ended, the birth of another sage in the human race was not a good thing for those gods and Buddhas filling the sky.

They would certainly not let it go.

"Now that the heavenly secrets are chaotic, I'm afraid it's very difficult for them to deduce it, right?"

Even if they were the sages of the human race, they could not deduce it; those people would find it even more difficult to deduce the owner who created this supreme canon.

"Heavenly secrets cannot be deduced, but in the human world, one can find clues. Once this canon is promoted, they will follow this goal to trace the source; I think it will not be difficult to find it."

Fuxi's face also became ugly.

"Now that the calamity has opened, the Heavenly Dao will not descend merit; it will only descend merit uniformly after this Great Qin calamity ends. If this person is like Zhuangzi and the others, then he is inevitably in danger."

Zhuangzi, as the Sub-Sage of the Daoist school, practiced the Daoist Dream Butterfly Technique, and his cultivation was already superb; before the merit descended, he had already reached the cultivation of a True Immortal, and later reached the peak of Great Luo in the merit.

Even this Sub-Sage of the Daoist school was only a True Immortal.

They did not think that this person would be stronger than Zhuangzi.

And for a True Immortal cultivation, it was nothing to the gods and Buddhas filling the sky; without merit upon his body, the wariness of the gods and Buddhas filling the sky would be much less.

Even if protected by human fortune, killing him would certainly also be backlashed by human fortune.

But compared to killing a human sage with merit upon his body, that backlash would certainly be lighter.

So once they found out, they would inevitably take action.

"Big brother's meaning is that we must find this person first and protect him secretly."

Xuanyuan said upon hearing this.

"That's right! This person has at least the potential of a human Half-Sage, and perhaps even the possibility of becoming a human sage in the future."

Fuxi nodded, and Shennong and Xuanyuan did not refute.

They could perceive how strong the improvement of human fortune was from the appearance of this canon.

Although they did not know what kind of book this was, the increase in fortune alone was more than that of many sages of the Hundred Schools of Thought.

It seemed to be only below the Confucian, Mohist, and Daoist schools.

A human sage would very likely become a Quasi-Sage in the future; having one more Quasi-Sage level powerful being in the human race was a great improvement for the human race, and they would have more confidence when they contended with those gods and Buddhas filling the sky in the future.

Now in the Earth Immortal World, Saints could not descend to the lower realm, so Quasi-Sages were the most powerful combat power.

The gods and Buddhas filling the sky could suppress the human race now precisely because the number of Quasi-Sages exceeded that of their human race.

The Heavenly Court alone had no less Quasi-Sage level combat power than the human race, plus those other great supernatural beings.

Why did Great Qin want to cooperate with the Witch tribe? Wasn't it to borrow the Quasi-Sages of the Witch tribe?

It was a pity that of the twelve Ancestral Witches of the Witch tribe, only two remained, and among them, the Houtu Goddess had also transformed into the Difu and could not easily leave the Difu.

The other one, Xuanming, would not truly take action for the human race.

Great Qin currently did not have Quasi-Sage level combat power, unless it used Great Qin's dragon Qi, which could erupt with Quasi-Sage level combat power.

But that was consuming Great Qin's fortune and could not be used unless the country was about to be destroyed.

Of course, Great Qin seemed to have obtained the Twelve Capital Divine Demon Array of the Witch tribe and wanted to use it to improve Great Qin's foundation.

Back then, when Xuanyuan and Chiyou contended within the human race, Chiyou borrowed this array, and its power was indeed terrifying.

Back then, the Heavenly Court, and even the disciples of the Chan and Jie schools, were killed until they were peeing their pants; if it weren't for the Innate Spiritual Treasures bestowed by those Saints, whether they could return would be an unknown.

Precisely because of this array, Great Qin also had confidence.

However, Fuxi was not optimistic; in a real war, Great Qin, even if it borrowed this array, would face the Heavenly Court, which also had the Star Array left by the ancient Demon tribe Heavenly Court.

The immortals and gods of the Heavenly Court were even more powerful.

It was just that their Fire Cloud Cave could not provide support to Great Qin.

However, they could not support Great Qin, but right now, this human sage, no matter what, they had to protect him and not let the gods and Buddhas filling the sky harm him or forcibly convert him.

Especially the Buddhist school, which liked to do this kind of thing the most; once they saw someone with talent, they would forcibly convert them.

They would call it having an affinity with their Western Buddhist school.

"Second brother, third brother, what do you think?"

"Must protect this person."

"Then who should be sent to protect him?"

"At least Great Luo combat power."

Xuanyuan said firmly.

A future human sage, who even had the opportunity to break through to Quasi-Sage—one had to know that there were many human sages in the Fire Cloud Cave, thousands of them, but most of their cultivation was below True Immortal.

There were over a hundred powerful beings who had reached the Golden Immortal level; of course, the human race certainly did not only have over a hundred powerful beings at the Golden Immortal level.

But among those people, many did not necessarily stand on the side of the human race.

Only these human sages in the Fire Cloud Cave were the last bottom line of the human race.

"Great Luo level?"

Fuxi and Shennong were both silent; now in the Fire Cloud Cave, there were over a dozen Great Luo level powerful beings, but most of them were still settling; those of them who improved their cultivation through merit might not necessarily be as powerful as the War Gods of the Heavenly Court's Taiyi Golden Immortals when they came out.

"Then who do you think should go?"

"I think Dayu should go."

After Xuanyuan finished speaking, Fuxi and Shennong were both full of black lines.

Dayu was the first in strength among the Five Emperors, and his cultivation had reached Quasi-Sage; moreover, he was not an ordinary emperor, and his merit in controlling the floods was already very great, plus he had awakened the Witch tribe bloodline.

That's right, Dayu had the bloodline of the Houtu clan of the Witch tribe.

So his strength was extremely terrifying.

And Dayu was an emperor of the human race; it was somewhat inappropriate to guard that person.

Not to mention, once Dayu moved and headed to the Jiuzhou, could those gods and Buddhas filling the sky sit still?

It was not guaranteed that they would suspect that the Fire Cloud Cave was going to participate in the contention between Great Qin and the Heavenly Court, and at that time, the gods and Buddhas filling the sky would also personally enter the fray.

"Big brother, second brother, Dayu is the creator of the Nine Cauldrons; he enters the Jiuzhou and has the Nine Cauldrons, so he can hide, and many people will not be able to discover him."

"Secondly, his presence will make those gods and Buddhas filling the sky not dare to take action against this person; this is also showing the bottom line of our Fire Cloud Cave."

Xuanyuan explained.

The two of them did not refute his explanation; indeed, if Dayu entered the Jiuzhou, it was appropriate.

And with Dayu present, those gods and Buddhas filling the sky would absolutely not dare to take action again.

After all, Dayu's strength belonged to the forefront among Quasi-Sages, and in the Jiuzhou, Dayu had a sufficiently large advantage; if he really encountered a strong enemy, he would directly sacrifice the Nine Cauldrons. ===== CHAPTER 855 =====
