Chapter 71

After hearing Laozi's words, everyone pricked up their ears; the human race's becoming the protagonists of heaven and earth is already a settled matter, and if we can do something regarding the teacher of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, we can later gain a large amount of merit.

"The teacher of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors is, in principle, for you to discuss among yourselves, but it requires the Ren Sect's approval." Heavenly Dao Hongjun sighed.

Because the current leader of the Ren Sect is the Wu Clan's Ancestral Witch, this Ancestral Witch Panhuang has grudges with all the saints.

Therefore Heavenly Dao Hongjun will sigh; if Panhuang cannot get past this, the rise of the human race will be delayed, which is very disadvantageous for the Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Dao Hongjun has already prepared for the worst; if Panhuang wants to use this as a condition, within the limits allowed by the condition, he can make some concessions.

Once the human race becomes the protagonists of heaven and earth, the Heavenly Dao will have plenty of time to scheme against Panhuang.

After hearing Heavenly Dao Hongjun's sigh, they knew that using force would not work; they estimated that to seize the teacher of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors later, they would have to pay a price.

But upon further thought, the Dao Ancestor just said that Fuxi could be the Heavenly Emperor, so the price Nüwa would have to pay should be greater; thinking of this, the saints felt somewhat relieved.

"Go!" After Heavenly Dao Hongjun said that, he waved his hand at everyone.

"Disciples take their leave!" The saints all rose, clasped their hands, and then left the the Zixiao Palace.

After leaving the the Zixiao Palace, Nüwa went ahead to look for Panhuang; Jieyin and Zhunti also hurried away, wanting to go back and discuss: if they cannot secure the teacher of the Three Sovereigns, at the very least they should also obtain the teacher of the Five Emperors.

"Elder Brother, what should we do?" When only the Three Pure Ones remained outside the the Zixiao Palace, Yuanshi asked Laozi.

In this lifetime, because of Panhuang, although the Three Pure Ones have split up, their relationship is not as bad as imagined.

"Wait!" Laozi said calmly.

"Wait? What does that mean?" Tongtian was somewhat puzzled.

"Fuxi's true spirit should be in Junior Sister Nüwa's hands; Fuxi was formerly the Xi Emperor of the Demon Race, and although the teacher said Fuxi could be the Heavenly Emperor, this still requires the Ren Sect's approval. If Fuxi can smoothly become the Heavenly Emperor, we still have a chance."

"What if Fuxi cannot become the Heavenly Emperor?" Tongtian asked.

"It depends on how Junior Sister Nüwa handles it, after all the human race was ultimately created by Junior Sister Nüwa; as long as Junior Sister Nüwa succeeds, we on this side can also succeed by paying some price." Laozi said.

"Yes!" Yuanshi and Tongtian nodded upon hearing Laozi say that, feeling it made some sense.

"Let's go; now we just need to keep a close watch on Junior Sister Nüwa." After saying that, Laozi led the way out.

Yuanshi and Tongtian exchanged a glance, understanding the information in each other's eyes.

This Heavenly Emperor probably has nothing to do with Laozi after all, since he is the leader of the Demon Sect, while Fuxi was formerly the Xi Emperor of the Demon Race.

If the Heavenly Emperor lets the Demon Race teach him, then after Fuxi regains his memory, will he be the human race's Heavenly Emperor or the Demon Race's Xi Emperor?

Therefore, Yuanshi and Tongtian are determined to obtain the teacher of the Heavenly Emperor.

Primordial, First Yang Mountain.

After Zhao Gongming told Panhuang about the Heavenly Court's affairs, he nodded; nowadays the Wu and Demon have retreated into seclusion, and he has the Ren Sect leader's identity to rely on, so he does not fear Heavenly Dao Hongjun—at least before the establishment of the Shang dynasty, he does not fear Heavenly Dao Hongjun.

On the Heavenly Court's side, because Zhao Gongming and others have fought them to their doorstep, causing them to lose face, Haotian has restrained his arrogance; at least in the Queen Mother's eyes, he has curbed his arrogance and begun to manage the Heavenly Court seriously.

But the Queen Mother knows that once the Heavenly Court finds an opportunity, Haotian will surely inflict the heaviest blow on the Ren Sect and the human race.

……

"Lady Nüwa, what brings you to my First Yang Mountain?" Not mentioning the Heavenly Court for now, Lady Nüwa has already arrived at First Yang Mountain.

"Do you know about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Fellow Daoist?" Lady Nüwa looked at Panhuang and asked.

"Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? I don't know! I don't know!" Upon hearing those words, Panhuang blurted out without thinking.

"Fellow Daoist, you certainly do know." Seeing Panhuang like that, Lady Nüwa said with a smile.

"When you initially asked this palace for the human race's fortune, you should have known already, right?" Lady Nüwa added.

"I don't know what Lady Nüwa is talking about." Panhuang continued to feign ignorance.

"When the human race was just created by this palace, you, Fellow Daoist, had already mentioned wanting to lead the human race to become the protagonists of heaven and earth; how could you not know the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? If you don't know them, why would you answer so bluntly?" Lady Nüwa laughed as she looked at Panhuang.

Even though she is extremely displeased inside, she dare not show it on her face; in the the Zixiao Palace, the Dao Ancestor mentioned that he would sigh over this, and if she showed the slightest impatience, the Heavenly Emperor's position might then have nothing to do with Fuxi.

When Panhuang slaughtered humans in the Demon Race and then began to vigorously develop the human race, Nüwa felt a sense of great danger at that time.

It seems this is related to the Heavenly Emperor; if I have any dissatisfaction, even if Fuxi becomes the Heavenly Emperor, he will not attain the Dao, because the achievements belonging to the Heavenly Emperor will be divided by Panhuang among others.

By that time, Fuxi's Heavenly Emperor might just be a joke.

"Lady Nüwa, I really don't know what the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are." Panhuang shook his head.

"Back in the Nüwa Palace, we had a conversation; Fellow Daoist, just say what you want in order for my older brother to become this Heavenly Emperor." Lady Nüwa's patience vanished.

"Lady Nüwa, since you know, you shouldn't have come to my place today." Panhuang also wiped the smile from his face.

"Fuxi becoming the Heavenly Emperor is ordained by the Dao Ancestor."

"Hongjun? Do you think my Wu Clan will listen to Hongjun's words?"

"The human race will listen!"

"Human race? Ask the human race whether they listen to the Dao Ancestor or to me; or you, Lady, could go personally tell the human race that the Xi Emperor who once slaughtered humans is about to become the future Heavenly Emperor of the human race—see if the human race is willing." Panhuang coldly stared at Lady Nüwa.

"You! The human race is a species created by this palace." Lady Nüwa's face showed anger.

"Yes! The human race is what you created, what you created as food and fodder for the Demon Race." Panhuang's face was full of mockery.

"Enough, Panhuang; this palace just asks one thing: can Fuxi become the human race's Heavenly Emperor?"

"I also have something to say, Lady Nüwa: are you certain that at that time Fuxi will be the human race's Heavenly Emperor and not the Demon Race's Xi Emperor?" Panhuang stared fixedly at Lady Nüwa, speaking word by word.

"If Lady Nüwa dares to swear a Heavenly Dao oath using the human race's fortune as the price, then Fuxi can become the human race's Heavenly Emperor, and I will personally teach him." Seeing Lady Nüwa silent, Panhuang added another sentence.

After hearing Panhuang's words, Lady Nüwa involuntarily stepped back two steps.

"Lady, as long as you swear a Heavenly Dao oath, we can now go to the Underworld; I will personally send Fuxi into reincarnation, and after he is born in the human race, I will personally seek him out, bring him by my side, personally teach him, until he attains the Dao as Heavenly Emperor."

"Fellow Daoist Panhuang, let's change the condition." After taking several deep breaths, Lady Nüwa spoke.

"Look, even you dare not guarantee it, so why would this poor Daoist let him become the Heavenly Emperor of the human race? This poor Daoist will not place the future of the human race on an uncertain factor. You may not be responsible for the human race, but as the sect leader of the Ren Sect, I must be responsible for the human race." Pan Huang heard Nüwa say this, laughed, and said a sentence.
