Chapter 403: Fishing for Emperor Emperor Dong Hua?

Upon hearing these words from Daoist Taishang, a monstrous wave surged in Taiyi's heart.

A brilliant light flashed and vanished within his golden eyes.

Establishing the position of the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" within the "God Race"?!

"May I ask, Fellow Daoist, what are the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?" Taiyi humbly inquired.

Xuanqing said, "The so-called Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are merely titles for certain positions; in truth, Fellow Daoist does not necessarily have to arrange the heavenly positions according to this configuration."

"The core idea of this proposal is that the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di must be willing to delegate power, establishing positions within the future God Race that are sufficient to attract many Great Luo Supremes, thereby strengthening the power of the God Race."

"At the same time, through such a form, the power structure of the Heavenly Court can also be consolidated."

"However—" Xuanqing paused while speaking.

Taiyi asked, "However what?"

Xuanqing said, "If the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di wishes to create a God Race and establish positions himself to manage the affairs of the God Race, that is no problem."

"But the positions of the Heavenly Court are a major matter concerning the Three Realms and all heavens; they cannot be given away just because one says so."

"Not to mention what kind of positions would be formed, the divinities who undertake these positions must possess great merit, great fortune, and great compassion."

Taiyi nodded lightly, quite approving of Xuanqing's words: "Fellow Daoist Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian's words are excellent."

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, regardless of which three sovereigns or which five emperors they are.

Their titles themselves contain the supreme authority and highest glory to rule over all directions and enlighten all living beings.

For any living being aspiring to establish immortal achievements in the Primordial universe, they possess an irresistible temptation.

Now, the Three Pure Ones proposed to use these supreme divine positions as the core symbols of authority for the newly created "God Race."

And it is explicitly stated that they can be held in rotation by various innate divinities or beings with great merit to the Primordial.

The political wisdom and interest-driven nature contained within this are simply immeasurable!

One can imagine that once this proposal is truly implemented.

Then, for those top-tier existences in the Primordial universe who have ambition, strength, and a longing for higher authority and higher paths, the attraction is no less than placing a shortcut to cultivation for the Great Luo of the Beginning and even the Great Luo of the Taiyi directly in front of them!

This is simply a naked "open conspiracy."

It can completely absorb many top combat powers and major clans of the Primordial, firmly tying them to the war chariot of the "God Sect" and "God Race"!

Taiyi is, after all, the newly appointed Taiwei Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di, shouldering the heavy responsibility of ruling the Three Realms and enlightening all spirits, and he also wants to accomplish a world-shaking great undertaking!

He knows that in the long run, the positions of the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" are definitely much more important than the position of the God Sect Leader, and can provide the most solid and attractive core cohesion for the future "God Race."

Moreover, as long as it is operated properly, it is not impossible to use this opportunity to integrate the myriad living beings of the Primordial more closely into the entire "God Race" system, thereby achieving the grand goal of "all spirits returning to the heart, and the Great Dao in harmony" at a higher level.

【Before coming to Mount Kunlun, I felt that the plan of "one clan ruling ten thousand clans" was a bit risky.】

【Now it seems that as long as this setup is big enough and the benefits are sufficient, there is no need to worry about no gods being willing to join in!】

【And this "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" plan is obviously a bigger setup and a deeper pit than a single God Sect Leader, and the benefits are definitely more.】

【Hmm, learned, learned.】

At this moment, Taiyi had awakened, feeling that he had been too hasty before.

Taiyi said with a smile: "The titles of these 'Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' have extraordinary significance."

"If they are to be bestowed upon the God Race, I am afraid it requires a few existences who are virtuous enough to match heaven and earth and capable of suppressing the fortune of all heavens to initiate the merit, only then can it be justified."

"Therefore..."

Taiyi looked at the Three Pure Ones with burning eyes:

"I believe that the three Fellow Daoists perfectly fit the status of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors."

"Even if you are unwilling to take the position of the Three Sovereigns, why not consider the position of the Five Emperors? After all, the three Fellow Daoists also enjoy the title of Emperor in the myriad heavens!"

"What a coincidence!"

It must be said, Taiyi's mind is indeed agile.

The names of the Three Pure Ones are spread throughout the heavens.

In their thirty-two-character honorific titles, there is indeed the status of "Emperor."

Xuanqing is the 【Jade Pure Mysterious Supreme Emperor of the Beginning】, Taishang is the 【Moral Heavenly Venerate Taiqing Hunyuan Supreme Emperor】, and Yuchen is the 【Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerate Shangqing Mysterious Existence Supreme Emperor】.

If the Three Pure Ones could really be invited to serve as three of the "Five Emperors," this God Race would have to be formed whether they liked it or not!

【Then, I will go to the Western Mount Xumi Academy and invite the two deans to serve as the other two Great Emperors. In this way, the East and West will be stable, and the Primordial will be worry-free!】

Taiyi imagined the future: 【Right, there is also Taihao Hearing Fu Xi of the Ten Directions Divine Palace, plus Fellow Daoist Nv Wa, and myself or my eldest brother.】

【The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, aren't they all gathered!】

Thinking this way, Taiyi suddenly felt that the creation of the God Race was not so difficult after all.

However, his plan was good, but the first step could not be passed.

"We Three Pure Ones only wish to sit at Kunlun, quietly chanting the Yellow Court, and have no intention of participating in the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di's God Race plan." Xuanqing shook his head, directly and bluntly refusing Taiyi.

Just kidding.

It's so good for us Three Pure Ones to be referees, why go down to play? Isn't that looking for trouble?

Besides, our work is also very busy.

On one hand, we must watch over the Heavenly Dao Hongjun to prevent him from really coming out; on the other hand, we must guard against those Chaos Demon Gods who want to cause trouble and maintain the stability of the Primordial.

We have to manage the immeasurable immortals of the Profound Gate, go to the committee for rotation duty from time to time, and also hold joint activities with various academies, conduct touring lectures, and so on.

Oh, right.

They also have to obey the call of the 【Taiwei Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di】 and attend the internal assembly of the Taiwei Enclosure.

How difficult it is!

A trace of a helpless smile flashed in Taishang's eyes, which were like an ancient well without waves, and he said: "Your Majesty, it is not that we do not want to help you, but we can only help you up to this point."

"The path of the God Race still has to be walked by yourself to be successful."

The last sentence, Taishang said meaningfully.

After hearing this, Taiyi was also thoughtful.

Then, he still didn't leave.

The Three Pure Ones let him sit there and didn't drive him away.

Although Taiyi came in the capacity of 【Sun Supreme】, he was the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di after all.

It would be inappropriate to drive him away directly.

【You say, will he go back to find Fellow Daoist Nv Wa?】 Taishang asked.

The Three Pure Ones sat high on the cloud platform, looking like they were wandering outside the heavens, but in fact, they were secretly communicating.

【It is possible.】

Daoist Yuchen said: 【Fellow Daoist Nv Wa is the Lord of Creation. According to the plan, in the future, she will have the great merit of molding earth to create new spirits, perfecting the Primordial spirit system, and connecting the two eras.】

【Even if the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di doesn't know about this, as long as he sits in this position and wants to accomplish something, the mysterious Heavenly Will will also lead him to find the right person.】

【For example, us.】

Actually, Taiyi's idea is correct; if the Three Pure Ones could really be invited to be the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it would definitely be the optimal solution.

But can the Three Pure Ones jump into the pit they dug themselves?

Of course not!

Xuanqing said: 【The great task of facilitating the emergence of the God Race, I think, still has to fall on Fellow Daoist Nv Wa and Fellow Daoist Hearing Fu Xi.】

【This is a major matter that can improve the overall well-being of the Primordial and promote the harmonious coexistence of all spirits. I believe they will not stand by idly.】

With her wisdom, when the Three Pure Ones stated the vision of the "God Race Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" positions without any concealment, the other party must have already understood what this means for the spirits she will create in the future and the evolution of the entire Primordial universe.

Taishang smiled: 【Perhaps, at this very moment, Fellow Daoist Nv Wa has already made up her mind and intends to get on the boat.】

Daoist Yuchen chuckled: 【Is it not very good for us to dig a pit for the other party so directly! After all, we are still allies.】

【Eh, Third Brother, you are wrong to say that. How can it be called digging a pit? We are thinking for our allies.】

Xuanqing transmitted: 【If operated properly, Fellow Daoist Nv Wa can completely secure a broad development prospect for the future Human Race.】

【If the cause of the God Race collapses halfway, the Human Race may not be unable to continue the path, but then it will depend on the layout of the two Fellow Daoists and the efforts of the Human Race itself.】

【And the efforts of many Destruction Mo Shen sponsors.】 Taishang added.

Xuanqing and Yuchen were both amused.

Taiyi stayed in the Jade Void Palace for nine days and nine nights.

Except for getting the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors" plan, the Three Pure Ones never gave another plan.

Having no choice, he could only leave.

"Your Majesty, shall we see you off?" Seeing Taiyi was about to leave, the Three Pure Ones became enthusiastic again.

"No need to trouble!"

After Taiyi bid farewell to the Three Pure Ones at the Jade Void Palace of East Kunlun, the grand blueprint regarding the "God Sect" and "God Race" in his heart became increasingly clear, and he also deeply felt the great responsibility of this matter, which could not be easily promoted by one person's strength.

【Still need to find more helpers!】

He did not return directly to the Taiwei Heavenly Court, but with a thought, he turned into a golden rainbow and galloped towards West Kunlun.

He remembered clearly that just now in the Jade Void Palace, when the Heavenly Venerate Taiwei Yuan Shi Tian "politely declined" the position of God Sect Leader, he "earnestly" mentioned that the legend of "the ancestor of ten thousand mountains, the hometown of all gods" actually pointed to something else, hinting exactly at the Xi Xi Wangmu, Jin Mu of Yaochi.

Although Taiyi knew in his heart that this was mostly the "passing the buck" words of the three Heavenly Venerates, it was not entirely unreasonable. The Xi Xi Wangmu, Yaochi, was born from the combination of innate Yin Qi and the supreme mysterious Qi of the West, in charge of punishment and disasters, and was once the head of all female immortals in the world; her status was also among the few in the Primordial.

If he could get her support, then the promotion of the "God Sect" cause would undoubtedly have another powerful guarantee.

At least in terms of uniting the vast group of female immortals in the Primordial, it would be twice the result with half the effort.

Moreover, Taiyi also had a thought of "widely accepting wise advice and pooling wisdom."

He wanted to hear what unique insights this goddess would have on the matters of the "God Sect" and "God Race."

"Arrived!"

Not long after, Taiyi arrived at the sacred realm of West Kunlun, which was shrouded in clouds and mist and filled with immortal Qi.

Seeing that there were peaks rising here, jade buildings and towers were everywhere, precious herbs and strange flowers were competing for beauty, and there were countless immortal birds and auspicious beasts playing among them, a scene of peace and tranquility, like a paradise outside the world.

Taiyi restrained his divine light and landed outside West Kunlun, and naturally, there were maidservants and immortal officials coming to greet him respectfully.

For the sudden visit of this newly appointed Taiwei Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di, the Xi Xi Wangmu, Yaochi, was indeed a bit surprised and unexpected.

She didn't have much interaction with the contemporary Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di in her daily life, let alone any deep personal friendship.

Now that the other party had just ascended to the position of Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di and was busy with a thousand tasks, yet suddenly lowered his status to visit her West Kunlun in person, his intention was probably not trivial.

【And also, didn't the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di go into seclusion to impact a higher realm?】

【Why did he suddenly come to me?】

Inside the Yaochi Palace, immortal music was lingering, and fragrant mist was permeating.

The Xi Xi Wangmu, Yaochi, was dressed in a graceful and luxurious golden phoenix robe, wearing a nine-phoenix facing-the-sun golden hairpin symbolizing the head of female immortals, sitting on the main seat. Although her appearance was not the kind of extreme charm and beauty, she had a natural dignity and majesty of ruling all directions and being the mother of the world.

In her arms, a three-colored cat was lazily lying.

The three-colored cat squinted its eyes, occasionally making one or two comfortable purring sounds, adding a rare warmth to this solemn and dignified palace.

"I don't know what brings Your Majesty the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di to my West Kunlun today? If there is any order, Yaochi will definitely do her best." Yaochi's voice was calm but carried a trace of imperceptible vigilance.

Taiyi didn't stand on ceremony either. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Yaochi, he stated his intention directly.

He honestly laid out his grand plan of wanting to create a "God Sect" and integrate all spirits with the "God Race," as well as the core concepts such as the initially proposed "establishment of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors positions of the God Race" to Yaochi.

Finally, he bowed to Yaochi with full sincerity and said earnestly: "Fellow Daoist Yaochi was once the head of female immortals, virtuous and respected, and admired by all immortals."

"I came here this time because I sincerely want to invite you to serve as the first-generation leader of this newly created 'God Sect,' to lead all gods, enlighten all living beings, and create a brand new era of the Primordial with me!"

"Cough cough... Meow!"

Just as Taiyi finished speaking, the three-colored kitten in Yaochi's arms, which was still purring comfortably, suddenly choked on something and started coughing violently.

And Yaochi herself, after hearing Taiyi's invitation, also rarely showed a trace of undisguised astonishment on her face, which was always graceful and calm!

Her hand holding the jade cup couldn't help but pause slightly in mid-air.

God Sect Leader?!

Me?!

Creating a new era?

In Yaochi's mind, countless thoughts flashed by, but they all converged into a big question mark.

She forced herself to calm down, tried to make her voice sound not so unseemly, and slowly asked: "Your Majesty the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di... are... are you sure you didn't say it wrong?"

"Absolutely not!" Taiyi answered decisively, his eyes full of sincerity and expectation.

Hearing this, Yaochi couldn't help but fall silent. She gently stroked the soft fur of the kitten in her arms, but her heart was surging and tossing.

She could clearly feel that this so-called "God Sect Leader" position was definitely not an easy and comfortable job.

Instead, it was like a bottomless pit full of unknown risks and monstrous karma!

Moreover, it was the kind that could easily bury her, the former head of female immortals!

"Something is wrong! This is definitely wrong!" Alarm bells rang in Yaochi's heart.

She had no personal relationship with the contemporary Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di. The other party suddenly ran to West Kunlun and invited her to come out of the mountains so sincerely. There must be a trap behind this!

Thinking of this, a sharp light flashed in Yaochi's eyes.

She raised her head, looked at Taiyi, and asked in a calm tone: "Your Majesty the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di, Yaochi is untalented and has one thing I don't understand, and I hope Your Majesty can enlighten me."

"May I rashly ask, who let Your Majesty the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di come to my West Kunlun specifically to invite me to serve as the God Sect Leader?"

She didn't seem to have offended anyone recently?

How could someone dig such a big pit and dig it precisely to the doorstep of her West Kunlun?!

Behind this, there must be an expert pointing the way!

"This matter was a decision I made after careful consideration, and no one else pointed it out."

Taiyi's expression was calm.

"I believe that in the past, Fellow Daoist once ruled the Immortal Court, governed all immortals, and had effective enlightenment. Your experience is rich, and your prestige is high. In the entire Primordial, no god can compare."

"Now, I want to create a God Race and start a God Sect. It is exactly the need for a great power like you who is both virtuous and talented and experienced to share worries and solve problems and conspire for a great cause!"

"Therefore, I came here specifically to earnestly request Fellow Daoist to help me!"

Hearing this, Yaochi remained silent.

I ruled the Immortal Court? Effective enlightenment?

That's all in the past.

Besides, the scale and influence of that so-called "Immortal Court" back then, where was it so exaggerated?

Compared with the current Heavenly Court, what does it count as?

【You come to West Kunlun to find me, it's not as suitable as going to the Demon Realm to find a few Demon Kings!】

Yaochi complained in her heart.

They were all innate gods who had lived for countless eons. Naturally, Yaochi would not be easily fooled by Taiyi's few words.

This Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di looked like he was going to do something big. The Demon Kings of the Demon Path were all masters who caused trouble for the heavens. If you invited a few into the God Sect or God Race, would you worry that things wouldn't get big?

Of course, making things big is one thing, whether it succeeds is another.

Yaochi held the three-colored cat that was still purring in her arms and was silent for a moment. A flash of cunning suddenly appeared in her eyes, as if she had thought of a brilliant "plan to get away."

She raised her head, looked at Taiyi, and showed a complex expression of sudden realization, mixed with a bit of "apology" and "reminiscence," and slowly said:

"Your Majesty the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di, what you said reminded Yaochi of a past event."

"Actually, Your Majesty might have misunderstood."

"Back then, the true core and soul figure of 'ruling the Immortal Court and effective enlightenment' was actually not me, Yaochi."

Yaochi sighed, a trace of "remembrance" and "admiration" appeared in her eyes, and she continued:

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that the Immortal Court actually had another Great Emperor who ruled Yin and Yang and harmonized all immortals with me—Fellow Daoist Emperor Dong Hua!"

"He was the one with true grand strategy and extraordinary wisdom!"

"Emperor Dong Hua not only had unfathomable cultivation but was also one of the ancestors of my True Immortal lineage. He had talent and insights far beyond mine in how to manage immortals and gods, formulate rules, and promote enlightenment."

"It can be said that the reason the 'Immortal Court' could take shape back then and have a place in the Primordial, most of the credit should go to Fellow Daoist Emperor Dong Hua!"

"I, Yaochi, at best just took advantage of him, helped out on the side, and cheered, and I am really ashamed to deserve such praise from Your Majesty."

"Therefore," Yaochi said this, her face showing an extremely sincere and earnest expression.

She looked at Taiyi and said, "If Your Majesty the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di is truly looking for an excellent candidate who can share your worries, rule the God Sect, lead all gods, and possess rich 'governance experience' and 'enlightenment ability'..."

"Then, in Yaochi's opinion, in the entire Primordial universe, I am afraid there is no more suitable candidate than Fellow Daoist Emperor Dong Hua!"

"This God Sect Leader position belongs to him!"

Yaochi was adamant, as if Emperor Dong Hua was really a peerless talent who could save the Primordial and recreate the universe.

After hearing Yaochi's "heartfelt" recommendation and her unsparing praise for Emperor Dong Hua, Taiyi couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Fellow Daoist Emperor Dong Hua?"

Taiyi thought about it. If he could really get the other party's help, it would indeed be beneficial for the creation and development of the "God Sect"!

The only drawback is—Emperor Dong Hua is dead, where can I find Emperor Dong Hua?

This Emperor Emperor Dong Hua, who was blown up by the Xi Xi Wangmu as wise and martial and having grand strategy, unfortunately fell on the Buzhou battlefield several eons ago!

His true spirit mark, I don't know where it dissipated to!

Regarding this, Yaochi thoughtfully gave some advice: "The Immortal Emperor Seal of the Immortal Court back then is now in the hands of Fellow Daoist Kunpeng."

"And Immortal Emperor Emperor Dong Hua fell many times, all saved by Taishang Laojun."

"Therefore, if Your Majesty wants to find Fellow Daoist Emperor Dong Hua, you can completely go find Kunpeng and Laojun first."

At this moment, Yaochi was extremely glad that she had stuffed the Immortal Emperor Seal to Kunpeng back then.

Otherwise, how could I pass such a big pot?

【Sigh, Fellow Daoist Kunpeng, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.】

【As the last pillar of the Immortal Court, the last conscience of the Dao Alliance, and the god most trusted by the Dao Ancestor, it is time to help the Taiwei Taiwei Tian Di find the Lord of the Immortal Court!】
