Chapter 139 – Cang Xue's beating

The Human Emperor went into seclusion in the Northern Territory.

According to the senior, he may be able to take another small step forward.

This small step is a big step for the Human Realm.

Of course, it also depends on opportunities, luck, and whether the Heavenly Palace will give them this time.

Wu Wang has done everything he can. At this moment, he has one doubt, one question, one confusion in his heart—how much reserve does the senior have for this fake wine of thirty thousand years?

Can he truly lead the Human Realm to a great victory and let the senior distribute this wine to the experts of the Human Realm?

Who can bear getting dizzy and having a headache every time they drink?

"Hiss—"

Wu Wang covered his forehead and sat up from the soft couch. Vaguely, he remembered that he had another drink with the senior and then returned to his residence in a daze.

There were shimmering celestial lights in front of him, and there were already seven or eight figures standing there. After each of them saluted Wu Wang, they began to speak softly.

Wu Wang's drunkenness had not yet subsided, and he felt dizzy and confused. It wasn't until the voice of the Great Elder sounded that he started talking about Yang Wudi's matter...

"What? Yang Wudi went to the Ten Calamities Palace as a spy?"

When the Lord heard this news, he couldn't help but shout in a shocked voice, his eyes filled with astonishment.

How could that guy have such determination?

The Great Elder hurriedly said, "Lord, don't worry. He is thriving in the Ten Calamities Palace. I don't know what means he used to deceive the people of the Ten Calamities Palace and avoid being controlled by their blood pool..."

Wu Wang sat there, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and the alcohol also quickly dissipated.

On the way to the Ren Emperor Pavilion, Yang Wudi and Zhang Moshan were caught because of their disguise as pigs. Zhang Moshan managed to escape, but Yang Wudi got trapped and even became a small leader with great aspirations.

"Hey," Wu Wang pondered carefully, "this guy is quite talented. What kind of message did he send?"

The Great Elder took out seven or eight stones from his sleeve and arranged them in front of Wu Wang.

Wu Wang looked carefully and murmured:

"I'm fine, still alive, under the influence of the Ten Calamities Palace, they want to cause trouble, find two camel-like mountains to find their hiding place, this cave is hidden at the bottom of the lake...

Could it be that they have assigned a partner to Yang Wudi?"

Partner?

The Great Elder looked at the stone that he personally interpreted, and couldn't help but ponder for a moment before smiling and saying:

"It should be. But Lord, is it possible that he has broken through to become a Heavenly Immortal?

Lord, look, the word 'husband' in front of Jun may be missing the character 'fu,' which means 'husband' in 'husband and wife.'"

"Then why didn't he just write the character 'fu' directly?"

Wu Wang smiled and said, "Or maybe draw a simple bald head, with two arrows or two feathers around it, which can represent the realm of Heavenly Immortal. The drawings in front of him are all in this style."

The Great Elder was taken aback, nodded slowly, and said, "What the Lord said is true."

"The Ten Calamities Palace is really going all out."

Wu Wang smiled, supported his forehead, and sat down on the soft couch. Lin Suqing brought him a cup of sobering tea, and he lowered his head and drank a few sips, letting out a long sigh.

Comfortable.

However, the Great Elder turned his head and looked at Zhang Moshan, transmitting his voice, "If you see Yang Wudi and find that he has broken through to become a Heavenly Immortal, then reduce his cultivation level.

The Lord's words cannot be wrong, understand?"

Zhang Moshan tensed his body and blinked repeatedly.

Several familiar and unfamiliar attendants came forward, each holding a tray, and bowed to Wu Wang.

"Lord Wu Wang, these are the nourishing spiritual medicines bestowed by our Lord Liu from the Four Seas Pavilion. You have worked hard in your seclusion."

"Lord Wu Wang, these are some rare items sent by our Lord from the Four Seas Pavilion: the rare Phoenix Feather from the Human Realm, the Sun Warm Stone from the East Wilderness, the Flying Whisk from the West Wilderness, and the rare Ear Mouse from the North Wilderness. They are all stored in this treasure."

"Lord Wu Wang, we are the attendants of the Fire God Pavilion established by the Human Emperor. We heard that you have been in seclusion and contemplating the Great Dao for three years and nine months continuously. Our Pavilion Lord is deeply moved.

Here is a letter from our Pavilion Lord."

"Lord Wu Wang..."

The six attendants, representing the four direct power institutions of the Human Emperor, all brought congratulatory gifts.

Apart from the Four Seas Pavilion and the Ren Emperor Pavilion, there were also the Fire God Pavilion and the Heavenly Crafts Pavilion, which Wu Wang heard of for the first time.

When he opened the two letters from the Pavilion Lords, Wu Wang saw a familiar term again and became spirited all over.

Heavenly Crafts Pavilion!

Where are the craftsmen of the Human Realm?

The craftsmen of the Human Realm are here!

No wonder Wu Wang had been secretly searching for the whereabouts of the top craftsmen of the Human Realm since he came to the Ren Emperor Pavilion, but there was no news at all.

It turns out that they are not under the jurisdiction of the Ren Emperor Pavilion at all!

Wu Wang instructed Lin Suqing to accept all the gifts and smiled at the bewildered gazes of the Great Elder, Lin Suqing, Mu Daixian, and even the attendants.

"Thank you all for your concern. My seclusion only consumed some energy, which is not a big deal.

On the contrary, all of you have worked hard and supported every aspect of the Human Realm. You are the experts that we cultivators must be grateful for.

Suqing, bring three gifts to the Pavilion Lords of the Four Seas Pavilion, the Fire God Pavilion, and the Heavenly Crafts Pavilion."

Lin Suqing softly responded by his side, and her reaction was quick. She went to the side to allocate precious minerals and put together some gifts.Before long, she returned with three brocade boxes in her hands. The attendants said, "Make sure to deliver them," and then left one by one.

The attendant of Renhuang Pavilion asked in a low voice, "Master, shouldn't we also give a gift to our pavilion master?"

"I will personally give it to him."

Wu Wang smiled, and the attendant breathed a sigh of relief, bowing to Wu Wang before leaving the attic.

"Master," the Great Elder wondered, "this..."

Mu Daxian, with his chubby little hands on the screen next to the soft couch, interrupted, "Enough with the questions. Are you really the successor to the Human Emperor?"

Startled, the Great Elder quickly opened the barrier to prevent others from overhearing.

The successor to the Human Emperor?

Mu Daxian's imagination stopped at this point.

Wu Wang smiled indifferently, holding the treasure bags sent by the Four Seas Pavilion in his hands and taking out the items inside.

He said, "I just made a small contribution by chance, giving the Human Realm a little more leverage when facing the Heavenly Palace. These pavilion masters are aware of the situation and came to express their gratitude.

It's not a big deal.

Did they really find the Ear Mouse?

I've searched in the North Wilderness for so long and only found a dozen or so. These things are so cute that they were caught long ago."

As he spoke, he poured out a fist-sized "soft ball" from one of the treasure bags. This soft ball was a special magical tool that could hold small spiritual beasts inside.

Holding the soft ball in his hand, he looked at the bright spot in the sunlight and saw the fluffy creature inside.

Wu Wang became interested and released a burst of spiritual power. The soft ball melted on its own, and the fluffy spiritual beast inside slowly stretched out its body.

It was a small rat about the size of a palm, somewhat resembling a squirrel but fatter and shorter. Its four short legs were almost hidden in its soft fur.

The most notable features were its ears that covered its head and its tail, which was longer than its body.

Wu Wang pointed at the rat's head with his finger, and it alertly opened its eyes, which looked like two small gems. Its tail suddenly started spinning like a propeller, causing its body to hang upside down and float in front of Wu Wang.

"Wow..."

"Wow!"

Lin Suqing whispered softly, and Mu Daxian's eyes sparkled with stars as he couldn't help but come closer to take a look.

Wu Wang squinted and smiled, gently pushing the Ear Mouse. The little creature nervously kicked its legs and scratched its paws, floating into Lin Suqing's arms.

"If you like it, keep it as a pet. It eats a variety of things and is easy to take care of. Just be careful not to let it fly around. The ones I used to keep were eaten by giant wolves as snacks."

"Thank you, Young Master!"

Lin Suqing happily exclaimed, grabbing the little Ear Mouse. Mu Daxian immediately jumped over and followed Lin Suqing around.

Wu Wang stretched lazily, took out a jade talisman, and wrote down the scriptures he had written in the Scripture Hall.

The Great Elder said, "Master, while you were in seclusion, Jihufa and Leyao got married."

"Is that so?"

Wu Wang smiled with joy.

"This guy really got caught by Leyao. Luckily, I have some rare items here to give them as a gift.

Great Elder, this is for you."

"What is this?"

The Great Elder looked at the jade talisman in front of him, holding it in his hands with a hint of confusion.

Wu Wang smiled and transmitted his voice, "In dreams, there is a golden house. In dreams, there is the supreme Dao. I not only comprehend the Dao in my dreams, but also discuss it with the sages in my dreams.

This is the scripture that Emperor Fuxi entrusted to me in a dream. I wrote it in the Scripture Hall of Renhuang Pavilion while I was half-asleep.

Consider this a small favor I'm doing for the Great Elder. Remember, do not let anyone else know about this scripture. It is up to the Emperor to decide who is qualified to comprehend it and who is not."

The Great Elder's face turned serious, and he pushed the jade talisman back, saying in a deep voice, "Master, I cannot accept this."

"Take it, Great Elder. I wrote it, so how can I not have a say?"

"No, Master, you cannot decide on your own," the Great Elder said solemnly. "Since it is a dream entrusted by Emperor Fuxi, it should be the Emperor's decision to determine who is qualified to comprehend it."

Wu Wang:...

Fine, I'm just shooting myself in the foot.

"Emperor Fuxi entrusted me to give it to someone I trust," Wu Wang pushed the jade talisman back and said seriously, "What Emperor Fuxi said to me in the dream is ultimately up to my interpretation."

"This?"

The Great Elder looked at Wu Wang, now understanding that the so-called dream was just an excuse.

"Thank you, Master!"

"Great Elder, there's no need to be so polite. Hurry up and comprehend it."

The Great Elder glanced at the content inside the jade talisman. At first, he looked puzzled, then he seemed to understand something, and finally, he furrowed his brows and pondered, as if he had gained some insight and was immersed in profound thoughts.

Soon, a sense of Dao emanated from the Great Elder's body. He bowed to Wu Wang and hurriedly returned to his residence.

This feeling was very strange, as if a missing piece of his own Dao had been completed, and he couldn't wait to verify how his own Dao would be.

Wu Wang stood up and felt a refreshing sensation all over his body.

He had actually gained many benefits, but these benefits were invisible.

In any case, it would be very difficult for him to encounter bottlenecks in his future cultivation. All he lacked was the comprehension of the stars and the Dao of fire, and then he could make rapid progress.——Understanding takes time to accumulate, it cannot be rushed.

Wu Wang took two steps forward, and Zhang Muyan, somewhat nervously, straightened his back and stood at the door, ready to take orders.

"Muyan."

Here it comes!

Zhang Muyan sighed inwardly. With Yang Wudi not around, he had become the target of the sect master's punishment; he didn't have many rewards, and if his offerings were deducted, it would be a significant blow...

"You've worked hard."

Wu Wang patted Zhang Muyan's shoulder and said seriously:

"I will arrange a position for you in the Punishment Hall later. You will serve me and receive offerings from both the Extinguishing Sect and the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion.

Do your job well and don't disgrace our Extinguishing Sect."

The burly man with a square face was almost moved to tears. He looked up and roared:

"I will follow your orders!"

"Good," Wu Wang smiled, "Let's go, follow me to the Punishment Hall."

Zhang Muyan immediately followed, his eyes alertly scanning the surroundings, his whole body exuding seriousness.

Just like that, the debt owed to the Extinguishing Sect by Yang Wudi was settled.

……

Before Wu Wang's enlightenment in the Scripture Hall, the top echelons of the Human Realm, the small group of top powers, had a few points of attention, a few points of care, and a few points of observation towards Wu Wang.

But after Wu Wang spent three years and nine months writing down the scriptures given to him in a dream by Emperor Fuxi, the attitude of the high-level figures in the Human Realm towards Wu Wang was half respect and half concern.

They didn't believe in the dream.

Instead, it was Liu Bairen's analysis that made the experts feel very reliable.

【This guy clearly realized something on his own!

He saw the path left by Emperor Fuxi, opened the door that Emperor Fuxi had set on the path, took out the things inside, and showed them to us.

Even though he himself has not yet understood the meaning of these scriptures, once his realm improves a bit, and after a few decades or a hundred years, he is likely to rise rapidly and achieve his own path!】

At this moment, these experts admired Shen Nong's ability to judge people to the extreme.

But apart from the high-level figures, the attitude of others towards Wu Wang did not change.

They had already respected him very much before, how much more could they respect him now?

The impact of this matter on the Human Realm will be reflected in the future layout of the Great Wasteland;

And Wu Wang's starting point was not to calculate anything, he just wanted to help the Human Realm, help the human race, and find a second umbrella for his own clan.

In this way, he could also share some of the pressure for his mother.

He arranged for Zhang Muyan to be in the Punishment Hall, mixing with the other stewards.

Wu Wang, humming a little tune, walked on the path after the rain with his hands behind his back. A little bit of understanding like flowing water rose in his heart, and he collected it all.

He went to see Ling Xiaolan, who was still in enlightenment, wrote a letter, gave the Phoenix Feather to Ji Mo as a belated wedding gift, and arranged for a team of immortal soldiers to deliver it to the Ji family.

Ji Mo had been married for more than three years, and he didn't know if he had any children yet.

And that Yang Wudi, who had 'married into' the Ten Calamities Palace for more than three years, had not yet managed to become the deputy palace master, which was really a disgrace to his Extinguishing Sect.

He should think of a way to urge him.

Buzz——

The necklace that Wu Wang had been wearing on his chest trembled slightly; this was not a warning, but a chat invitation from his mother.

Wu Wang immediately found a quiet corner, set up a barrier, held the necklace in his hand, closed his eyes and concentrated, calling out a few times in his heart.

"Mother, have you been well recently? I have been busy with enlightenment and have neglected to ask about you."

"It's okay," Cang Xue replied softly, "When you were in the Scripture Hall before, although I couldn't see you, I could feel your presence, so I wasn't too worried about your situation... Your father just left me a few months ago."

"Is father's health okay?"

"Very well."

"Mother, you haven't been bothered by the Heavenly Palace recently, have you?"

"Of course not."

Then the mother and son fell into an awkward silence, not knowing what to talk about.

Cang Xue quickly said: "Seeing that you are fine, I am relieved. You..."

"Mother, are you interested in those scriptures?"

"If you say I'm interested, it's a bit too much, I'm just a little curious."

Cang Xue seemed a bit embarrassed, her voice weakened, and she said softly:

"I just glanced at the sentence 'The way that can be spoken of is not the constant way', and felt that it made sense. No matter how beings and gods explore the world, they will want to understand what the true nature of this world is."

"Mother, I will recite all the ones I can remember for you."

"You just recite the first one for me... I won't tell anyone about the principles you have realized in Emperor Fuxi's relics, not even your grandfather and aunt.

After all, this is the principle of the Human Realm."

"Do I have a grandfather?"

"This..."

"Mother, I'm starting to recite, you just listen."

Wu Wang laughed a few times in his heart, recited the scriptures he had written for the Human Realm, and also repeated the words he had written on the third stone tablet.

Cang Xue listened for a long time without speaking, and after a while, she said: "Emperor Fuxi was indeed a hero who dominated an era.""Yes," Wu Wang sighed, "He has been seeking the ultimate truth of the universe, bound by the path of fire, yet he has deduced the myriad of laws and paths."

Cang Xue chuckled a few times, but her voice became increasingly serious, gently admonishing:

"The three Human Emperors of the Human Realm are all extraordinary beings.

However, Ba'er, you must remember.

Although all laws converge and all paths lead to the same end, different spirits resonate with different paths, resulting in different outcomes.

Generally speaking, when we try to understand the ultimate truth of the universe, we consider the moment when the universe first opened and all paths first blossomed.

It's not quite right to call it a moment, as the path of time had not yet unfolded, time was chaotic, and measurements were disordered.

How disorder turned into order, how the path evolved into the universe, or how the universe nurtured the path, none of these questions have been answered, and the gods have different opinions.

Throughout the history of the Great Wasteland, half of the changes in divine eras were due to ideological differences, leading to great contradictions.

There will always be gods who live too lonely, trying to reverse the ultimate truth of the path through destruction, thus giving birth to many disasters.

These scriptures of yours contain many truths that the gods would pursue. From now on, insist that they were given to you in a dream by Fuxi.

Don't be influenced by the prosperity of the Human Realm, the Great Wasteland is ultimately the land of the gods."

Wu Wang: ...

"Mother, I will remember, I was a bit carried away before."

"Ba'er, don't be upset, your mother is just afraid that you underestimate the gods."

"I won't," Wu Wang breathed a sigh of relief, "Mother, I will be more careful, mainly I want to help the Human Realm."

"Your mother knows."

After a few more words of caution to Wu Wang, Cang Xue ended the communication.

Wu Wang sat in a corner of the courtyard in a daze, and a few servants ran over; in the guest hall, the figure of Ji Mo, the son of the Ji family and husband of Le Yao, had appeared.

In the Starry Sky Temple, on the transparent throne surrounded by crystals, elegant and exquisite, Cang Xue sat with her legs crossed, supporting her chin, staring at the jade charm in her hand.

"How did Ba'er come to understand such profound truths?

If it really was Ba'er who understood them..."

She sat quietly in the lonely hall, a hint of a smile curling at the corners of her mouth as she pondered.
