Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 422 Mingyu: What are you worried about?
Haotian drank a cup of tea and savored the innate Dao essence in it. He smacked his lips and asked, "Before I came here, I went to the Netherworld. Do I know the Southern Ghost Emperor?"
Originally I just felt that it looked familiar, but now after drinking Mingyu's Xiantian Taoist tea, I remembered it.
Mingyu shook her head: "You have only met once, you can't say you know each other."
He was telling the truth. The one who took over the position of the Southern Ghost King was the consciousness of Yun Zhongjun, the Red Cloud Shanshi.
When Daozu gave his second lecture, he showed up once when the immortals were beheading corpses.
Haotian blinked, and some enlightenment came into his mind.
After all, he was born a god, so he knew something about the traditional craftsmanship of the gods.
Haotian drank a cup of tea and Mingyu refilled it for him. A few green leaves rose and fell in the cup, which was very lovely. The fragrance of the tea gradually spread, constantly teasing Haotian's sense of smell.
“A-choo!”
A sudden sneeze ruined the elegant atmosphere.
"This tea has become spirit after passing through your hands."
Haotian stared at a few pieces of innate tea leaves in the cup, lost in thought. He found that these leaves really possessed some spirituality, and it seemed that they were about to become spirits.
Mingyu looked at him, shook her head slightly, then picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup. She didn't say anything and just sipped her tea.
"Have you crossed that hurdle?"
Suddenly, the light in Haotian's eyes flickered like fireworks, so bright that it was frightening.
He was talking about the thirty levels of Daluo, the realm of beheading the three corpses, the highest level in the world!
Mingyu put the cup down and said with some regret: "My combat power is up, but as for my realm... it's almost there, it will take some time."
"So, it's almost there?"
There was a hint of envy on Haotian's face. The reason why the top powerful beings were called "top" was because they had ascended to the thirtyth level of heaven and had reached the front of the Tao. They were only one step away from the other side of the Tao.
Only when you reach this realm, you are truly qualified to aspire for the status of Hunyuan.
He is now at the twenty-eighth level of the Golden Immortal, and is still some distance away from the pinnacle. He can only be called a great power of heaven and earth.
As the two were talking, Fengqi Mountain trembled slightly.
Haotian looked and saw a Taoist in black with an extraordinary aura and an appearance that was 80% similar to Mingyu coming to the lake.
Behind the Taoist priest, there followed a giant ape as big as a bright mountain.
"This fellow Taoist is Wu Zhiji. Inspired by this poor Taoist, he is not only willing to share our worries, but also actively asks to guard Fengqi Mountain for me."
The Taoist in black smiled and pointed at Wu Zhiji.
Mingyu looked at the giant ape and her eyes lit up.
He saw another figure in Wu Zhiji's long river of destiny. The eternal yet decaying aura reminded Mingyu of the black tortoise in the North Sea.
However, Wu Zhiji’s situation is somewhat different from Xuangui’s.
"The Chaos Demon God? That's really interesting."
Mingyu smiled faintly, he flipped his right hand, took out the teacup, poured tea in it, and handed it to Wu Zhiji.
"Since you are so kind, I will accept this favor on behalf of the Empress."
With just one sentence, Wu Zhiji's inner depression was resolved.
He looked excited and took the tea carefully, "Thank you, Master!"
"No, it was the Queen who made it possible!" Mingyu shook her head and pointed to the main peak of Fengqi.
There is a magnificent palace there.
Wu Zhiji became even more excited when he heard this.
He hurriedly bowed towards the main peak, kowtowed so loudly that the mountains shook.
"Wu Zhiji thanks the queen!"
After performing the great ceremony and drinking the magical tea, the giant ape became one of their own.
The Taoist in black nodded, his figure turned into a point of light and disappeared, returning to his dream.
Haotian keenly discovered that with the Taoist's return, Mingyu's aura seemed to become even more ethereal.
“That, Taoist Master…” Wu Zhiji’s expression changed when he saw the Taoist in black disappear. He said to Mingyu in a shy tone, “Taoist Master, that figure in my long river of destiny…”
With a hint of worry in his tone, the Taoist in black told him that his luck was very strange and that there was obviously a hand controlling it. In the end, he would have to wait until he was fattened up before being harvested.
At first, Wu Zhiji didn't believe it. After all, he was a powerful being in the world. How could any existence control him silently?
"What if the one controlling you is yourself?"
The Taoist in black said something very scary, which shocked Wu Zhiji on the spot.
Then, the Taoist in black asked him about some of his experiences, and took out an ancient tortoise shell and started to deduce it in a serious manner.
Then he told him another story.
A story about the North Sea Black Turtle.
As expected, Wu Zhiji was fooled and agreed to the Taoist in black to guard the mountain for Fengqi without thinking.
Because the Taoist told him that the Queen is the supreme saint, and if you guard the gate of Fengqi Mountain, you will be protecting the saint's face.
With this logic in mind , no matter how big the plans of the people behind you are, they will all fail!
This makes so much sense!
How could Wu Zhiji not grab this life-saving straw?
Even Wu Zhiji's friends were so envious and jealous when they knew he was going to guard the mountain for Nuwa!
This is not about guarding the mountain, this is obviously about finding a big backer!
Mingyu knew the whole story and smiled, "Don't worry, fellow Taoist. There are not many places in the world that can compare to Fengqi Mountain!"
The confidence and indifference revealed in Mingyu's words gave Wu Zhiji the greatest spiritual comfort.
The last trace of worry in his heart also dissipated.
"Thank you, my lady!"
Wu Zhiji kowtowed towards the main peak of Fengqi Mountain again, with no distractions and a sincere heart.
Next, he asked Mingyu in detail about the rules and taboos of Fengqi Mountain, and then he carried the iron rod that was like a jade pillar supporting the sky and walked towards the mountain gate honestly.
"It's hopeless!"
Haotian held his forehead with his hand. It was the first time he saw such a sincere and honest great power in the world. He was deceived by just a few words and came to guard Fengqi Mountain.
Everyone I met before was full of suspicion.
This is so rare!
"Why am I not so lucky as to have a powerful person to guard the door?"
Haotian sighed that his heaven is still empty.
Mingyu heard this and just smiled without saying anything.
How could the mighty ones of heaven and earth be so easily deceived?
It's just a matter of mutual consent.
The teapot was lifted several times and before we knew it, it was empty.
Mingyu poured water into the pot, and a lotus flower bloomed like a flame, boiling the water, and then brewing tea, which filled the air with fragrance.
“It’s different!”
As the tea went down his throat, Haotian's eyes lit up.
He savored it carefully for a moment. This tea had a more mysterious meaning and had the effect of enlightenment. It even made his mind much purer.
"Since it's good, have a few more cups." Mingyu poured him tea.
"It's good, but the tea is too light and not strong enough!" Haotian shook his head, his eyes fell on Mingyu's cuffs.
Mingyu laughed, removed the tea and replaced it with a wine gourd.
"You are very careful. I have just brewed the ginseng fruit wine and haven't tasted it yet!" Mingyu joked.
As soon as the wine gourd is opened, the aroma is intoxicating.
Haotian's Adam's apple rolled, he kept swallowing his saliva, and his eyes looked a little longing.
"Is this brewed from ginseng fruit?"
"The earliest batches of innate spiritual fruits produced by the ancestral roots, the Earth Immortal Fruit Fair one hundred thousand years ago, almost drained Zhen Yuanzi!" Mingyu also told Haotian about the grand occasion of the Earth Immortal Fruit Fair.
When Haotian heard that Zhen Yuanzi had invited all the immortals from the three mountains and five peaks, as well as the six great saints to attend the meeting, he was indescribably excited.
"What a great Zhen Yuanzi, what a great Yu Shi Tong Jun!" he exclaimed.
But after praising him, Haotian's mood became depressed again.
"What's wrong?" Mingyu asked in confusion.
Haotian said sullenly: "Mingyu, you said that the master and the six saints asked me to be the emperor of heaven, can I do it? Zhen Yuanzi holds the throne of heaven and earth, and with his influence alone, he can make the earth fairy fruit have such a grand occasion. If I succeed the throne of the emperor of heaven, can I be like him?
To be honest , I came to you not only to share my good news with you, but also to ask for your help. The Heavenly Palace is very big, and the prehistoric world is also very big, but now I, the Emperor of Heaven, have no soldiers, no generals, no power, and no authority. How can I rule the Heavenly Power in the future?
What's more, Tianquan is still with Zhen Yuanzi now. He has done so well. If I can't compare to him, will the people of heaven and earth recognize me? ..."
Haotian had not officially become the Emperor of Heaven, but he had already had a lot of worries. He thought a lot and felt hopeful and hesitant. Taking this opportunity, Haotian confided all his worries to Mingyu.
Wine is the way to forget worries.
But Haotian, who had drunk, became even more worried.
Mingyu didn't say anything and just listened quietly.
A jug of fine wine for two to share.
It's not the wine that makes people drunk, it's the people themselves who get drunk.
Haotian was a little tipsy, with flushed cheeks.
Seeing this, Mingyu put away the wine gourd.
Haotian tried to snatch it, but his outstretched claw was slapped away by Mingyu.
Seeing him reaching out to pull at her sleeve again, Mingyu said expressionlessly: "If you try again, I'll throw you into the lake!"
The air around him cooled down rapidly, Haotian couldn't help but shiver and sobered up.
He lowered his head and said awkwardly: "The master asked me to come to you for help!"
Seeing Mingyu looking at him, Haotian added another sentence.
"The queen also said she would talk to you first!"
Mingyu straightened his sleeves and asked, "What did Daozu say?"
"The master gave me a few spiritual treasures and the Queen Mother's Golden Book, and told me to find an opportunity to go to West Kunlun to ask her to help me rule the world. He also said that you are doing something big, and if you succeed, you can help me!"
Haotian was excited. He told Mingyu in detail the discussion between Daozu and the Six Saints.
Including Daozu's evaluation of the other five candidates.
Haotian heard all of this clearly because Hongjun did not avoid him.
After listening to this, Mingyu looked at Haotian in surprise.
Then his gaze lingered on his cuffs for a few moments.
"The old man is really thoughtful!"
Mingyu was filled with emotion.
"Since Daozu has made it so clear, why are you in such a hurry?"
ah?
Haotian looked up and opened his mouth, but didn't understand.
Mingyu shook her head: "The Taoist said that Zhen Yuanzi controls the Three Yuan Society, and there are still 180,000 years before he steps down. You have plenty of time to prepare. What do you have to worry about?"
Daozu appointed Haotian as the Emperor of Heaven in advance in order to give him time to prepare, in order to avoid the embarrassing situation of having no one available and difficulty in establishing his authority when the new heaven is established and Haotian officially ascends the throne.
To this end, he asked the Six Saints to build a new heaven for Haotian. This was to provide Haotian with confidence and instruct him to find the Queen Mother of the West and himself, which was to pave the way for Haotian.
Daozu has already paved the way for Haotian to become the Emperor of Heaven. I really don’t know what he is worried about!
"Let me ask you, before coming to Fengqi Mountain, have you ever been to West Kunlun?" Mingyu asked.
Haotian lowered his head again: "I wanted to share this with you, but I didn't have time to go..."
Mingyu asked again: "You said you came to me for help, did you really take what Daozu said to heart?"
"Of course, the master said that after you succeed...after that..." Haotian suddenly stuttered.
The master asked him to find him after Mingyu was done!
"Do you know why?"
"Why?"
Haotian asked anxiously.
Mingyu sighed, "Because if things don't work out, then there won't be any momentum. You said you have no soldiers, no generals, no power, and no influence. If I don't even have any influence, how can I help you?"
"But Fengdu is in the underworld, and Zhen Yuanzi is also your good friend. This situation..."
Haotian's little brain worked rapidly and he soon came up with an idea.
Mingyu felt somewhat relieved, but still shook her head.
"No?" Haotian frowned.
"Of course not!"
Mingyu's tone was firm.
"Fengdu and Zhen Yuanzi represent the great trend of the earth, and I am talking about the great trend of the heaven. If this trend is achieved, it will be the best time for me to enter the heaven to help you."
"The Way of Heaven? The Way of Earth?"
Haotian chewed these two words over and over in his mouth. His hand unconsciously reached into his sleeve and landed on the round jade pot, which glowed slightly.
"Have you figured it out?"
"hey-hey!"
Haotian scratched his head, he still didn't quite understand.
“Why do we need to go to West Kunlun first?”
Mingyu said: "Because my power is not yet established, the only ones you can attack now are soldiers and generals!"
As for power, there is no need to worry about it.
Daozu and the Six Saints have already decided that it is a foregone conclusion that Heavenly Power will fall into the hands of Haotian.
The New Heaven is just an empty shell, and what it lacks most is people.
The Queen Mother of the West was a sacred being of the same era as Patriarch Hongjun and one of the few remaining elders of the immortal path. In ancient times, she was in charge of punishments and was the leader of the female immortals.
Both her strength and connections are a great help to Haotian.
"But there is one thing you must remember. Whether it is me or the Queen Mother of the West, we can only be helpers, or external forces, for the New Heavenly Court and for you. If you want to truly control the Heavenly Power, it depends on you!"
Mingyu explained to Haotian that if he entered the Heavenly Palace, he would definitely take away the power of the Emperor of Heaven, and the same would be true for the Queen Mother of the West.
"No problem, we are friends!"
Haotian is very heroic and he doesn't believe that his friends will harm him.
Anyway, he is the only one in Heaven now, so why not share power with Mingyu and Queen Mother of the West?
"What about later?"
Mingyu said, "You are the Emperor of Heaven, and the sovereignty is in your hands. If you rely too much on our power, who will have the final say in Heaven in the future? Daozu gave you 180,000 years to prepare, but it is not limited to finding me and Queen Mother of the West."
Haotian was silent for a while, then said, "You want me to train my own team first?"
"You have to be a qualified Heavenly Emperor. This is inevitable." Mingyu glanced at his sleeves, and then said: "Daozu gave you this thing. You must find a way to make the most of it. This is your most trustworthy support!"
After hearing this, Haotian seemed to be thinking about something.
"Then I'll try my best."
Mingyu nodded: "If you start trying, I have two people who can help you."
He wrote a summons on the spot.
Not long after, Taibai Jinxing and Shuiyao Chenxing arrived at Fengqi Mountain.
"Taibai and Chen Jun greet the Lord!"
The two men bowed to Mingyu.
"This is the current Emperor of Heaven, chosen by the Taoist Patriarch and approved by the Six Saints." Mingyu gestured.
When Taibai and Chen Jun heard "the current emperor", they almost laughed out loud, but when the second half of the sentence came out, their faces changed immediately.
"We have met the Emperor of Heaven!"
The respectful attitude made Haotian feel comfortable.
