Chapter 103: The Sea-Crossing Bodhisattva King

  "Senior brother, now that the time has come for Shennong to ascend to the throne, should we let Xuanyuan succeed him?" The Original Heavenly Venerable stepped into the Eight Scenic Palace and saw Laozi still meditating with his eyes closed. He walked up slowly and sat down on the meditation mat opposite him, speaking out loud.

  The old man opened his eyes and said faintly, "Now that Emperor Huang has created characters, seven out of ten human tribes support him. Even if Shennong had passed on the throne to Xuanyuan, it would still be unstable, and at any time, he could be overthrown by the Jiuli tribe."

  "As long as the throne is passed down, Xuan Yuan has taken the great righteousness. When Emperor Zhuan opposes it, it will be a rebellion and a crime against humanity. At that time, many people from the human tribe will turn to Xuan Yuan, and the position of Human Emperor will be even more stable." A cold light flashed in his original eyes.

  Laozi shook his head, "I'm afraid Shen Nong values Emperor Zhuan Xu too much and won't pass the throne to Xianyuan."

  "The Divine Farmer is just a product of the times, with no foundation to speak of. Even if he were to attain the sacred position of Human Emperor in the future, he would still be a lone figure with little power. And now, as an ordinary member of the human tribe, he has no real strength. With Master Xuan's guidance from the side, we can work together to manifest our powers, and I'm not afraid that the Divine Farmer won't pass on his position to Xuanyuan." Yuandao said calmly, but at this moment, he was still thinking about Guangchengzi being injured by Fengbo, and if they didn't let the Wu tribe suffer a loss this time, it would be hard to dispel the hatred in his heart.

  The old man's eyebrows furrowed slightly after hearing this, but immediately relaxed again and said: "Alright, I'll accompany you this time, but in the future, I won't interfere unnecessarily."

  At first, he was slightly stunned, but immediately reacted and realized that this third person's position as the Human Emperor was only to explain the teachings and accumulate merits. It's indeed not good to trouble Laozi too much. Moreover, Laozi had suffered a loss in his previous attempt to reincarnate and create characters, losing a lot of magical powers. In the struggle for the Human Emperor position, this might be the last time Laozi would help himself.

  Thinking of this, they didn't say much more and took the old man's words as agreement. The two stopped dawdling and immediately appeared in the grand hall where Shennong lived.

  Shennong was in the temple using the Huaxian cauldron to refine medicine, when suddenly two people appeared. Upon closer inspection, he was shocked to see that it was Laozi and the two original saints. He immediately went forward to pay his respects.

  "The Human Emperor doesn't need to be so polite. This time we came over, just to sense that the Human Emperor's verification of the Dao period is near, and specially came to inform you." Laozi said calmly.

  Shennong's face lit up with joy, "This is great! I've been feeling overwhelmed and unable to manage everything. It's perfect timing for a young person to take over and lead the tribe forward."

  Yuanshu Tianzun asked immediately after hearing this: "I wonder if there is a suitable candidate for succession in the heart of the Human Emperor?"

  "The Emperor created characters, benefiting the human race, and also became a great sage. He developed the Nine Li into a strong power. If I were to abdicate, the choice of Human Emperor would be none other than him." Shennong said, his eyes full of admiration.

  "It's probably not suitable, the people of the Jiuli tribe have a strong witch bloodline, which is not conducive to the development of the human race." Yuanshu said.

  Shennong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Why would the Sage say such a thing? The Wu and Yu tribes have coexisted for countless years, they are of one vein. Which person among our tribe does not carry Wu tribal blood? Can we deny Emperor Zhuan because of this reason?"

  "The Human Emperor is mistaken, what I meant to say is not that. The Jiuli Witch tribe has a strong and heavy bloodline, so they are good at fighting fiercely, but their temperament is violent and impulsive. They can guard one side, but if they want to manage the human race, it's probably not suitable."

  Shennong's expression improved after hearing this, "The Sage is worrying too much. In the past, Emperor Zhuanxu closed his doors for thirteen years and devoted himself to creating characters. With such achievements, he naturally has a calm and steady temperament, not a reckless person."

  After listening, he slightly frowned and said, "Why doesn't the Human Emperor consider Xuan Yuan of the You Xiong tribe? This person is also a great sage, well-versed in both politics and military affairs, and has many capable people to assist him. He must be the hope for the prosperity of humanity."

  At this time, Lao Tzu, who had been silent all along, suddenly said: "This person is the Heaven-ordained ruler, and the Emperor should consider it carefully."

  Shennong's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he finally understood the intentions of these two people. However, manipulating the affairs of humanity in such a way was not something a sage would do. At this moment, he felt immense pressure in his heart.

  In the midst of Jiu Li, Emperor Ku entered the grand hall, listening to Feng Bo and Yu Shi's report on the matter of Wu Shan. He couldn't help but smile slightly, picking up the male and female twin swords in his hand, examining them carefully for a long time before saying: "These two swords have also reached the middle-grade pre-heavenly spiritual treasure level, which is quite good."

  He said, and then handed the male and female double swords to Feng Bo, "You return to the Thirty-Three Heavens in one trip, and hand over these two swords to Ben Zun for re-refining. Who knows, maybe another superior pre-heavenly spiritual treasure will come out."

  Feng Bo listened and immediately set off, but in his heart he muttered to himself, what's the point of so many spiritual treasures? As a great shaman, he was still not very interested in these things, except for the divine weapon left by his father god when he broke through to quasi-sainthood.

  Seeing the two leave, Di Jun couldn't help but close his eyes. Shen Nong is now almost at the point of achieving the Dao, and it's time to pass on the throne of the Human Emperor. The only question is who he will choose in the end. If it's Xuan Yuan, then a great war cannot be avoided. Thinking of this, Di Jun's eyes flashed with cold light.

  At this time, a figure suddenly flashed by, and a handsome Buddha suddenly appeared. Emperor Wu saw him and couldn't help but reveal a smile.

  "Why didn't you stay in hell to help your disciple get rid of the evil spirit, but instead came here to have fun with me?"

  "Big brother smiled and said, if you didn't say there was a disciple to be taken in, I wouldn't have rushed over so hastily." Zhu Jiu said with a sly smile, his hands still clasped together in a Buddhist greeting.

  The Emperor thought for a moment and suddenly understood. It turned out that the true self had found him, wanting to take the daughter of Shennong as a disciple and make her a Bodhisattva of the Witchcraft Sect.

  "The daughter of Shennong is named Nüwa. After this calamity, you can hurry up and pass it by. I suppose with your ancestor's identity as a witch, Shennong should be happy to let Nüwa become your apprentice," said Di Jun.

  Jiuyin listened and didn't say much, immediately flew towards the Shen Nong tribe. Now, only he and Dizang Wang were left in the Wu Shen Jiao. Listening to Da Xiong's words, the girl was also quite talented, so taking her as a disciple would be good for the development of the Wu Shen Jiao.

  Jiuyin arrived at the Shennong tribe and went straight to the main hall, where he was surprised to find not only Shennong but also Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun.

  Laozi and the original two were persuading Shennong, who was located in Xuanyuan. Suddenly, they saw Jiuyin appear, which also surprised them, and at the same time, their faces turned red with shame. The two saints came to coerce Shennong, which was not glorious to begin with, and now they had been seen by others, how embarrassing it was.

  "Two saints are indeed elegant and refined, how did they all gather at the Human Emperor's place? Are they discussing some private matters? Should I retreat for a while?" Candle Nine Yin looked at Laozi and Yuanshi Tian, made a Buddhist salute, and smiled.

  "Hmph, the people of the Wu tribe are so rude and lacking in etiquette. This is the imperial palace, how can you simply barge in?" The original coldly said, while Laozi's face also had a hint of displeasure. However, they had forgotten that when they entered the grand hall, did the two of them report their presence beforehand?

  After hearing this, Zhuo Jiu's face turned cold. "The Human Emperor didn't even blame him, but the Primitive Saint actually dared to turn things around."

  "You!" The original listener was furious after hearing it, but feared the powerful witch clan and did not dare to take action.

  At this time, Shennong also saw clearly the appearance of Zhu Yinxin, wasn't it the ancestor witch Zhu Yinxin that many families worshiped? Suddenly, he was surprised and delighted in his heart, and hurried forward to pay his respects. "I have seen the ancestor witch."

  Jiǔ Yīn's face finally improved, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be so polite. This time I do have some private matters that I'd like to discuss with Your Majesty. I came in a hurry, if there's any disrespect, please forgive me."

  Shennong listened and felt even more respectful towards Zu Wu, looking at others and then at Laozi's original form. These two still had the nerve to say that the people of the Wu tribe were discourteous, but compared to them forcing themselves to abdicate as saints in favor of Huangdi, it was a thousand times better.

  "What brings you here, Ancestor Witch?" Shennong asked in puzzlement.

  "It's not convenient to discuss this matter with outsiders present." Candle Nine said indifferently, while also casting a sideways glance at the two original people.

  Yuanding was about to get angry again, but was stopped by Laozi, "Remember what we just said, and take your leave."

  Laozi finished speaking and pulled the original away, disappearing on the spot. In his heart, he was very confident, with two saints coming forward to exert pressure, not afraid that Shen Nong would not pass on the throne to Xuan Yuan.

  Seeing the two of them leave, Zhu Que turned his head to look at Shen Nong and didn't ask about what they had just discussed. Instead, he said urgently: "This time I came, it was actually to take the daughter of Ren Huang as a disciple. Does Ren Huang agree?"

  "The girl can get the ancestor's blessing, it is her good fortune, I couldn't ask for more." Shennong was overjoyed at once.

  Jiǔ Yīn was overjoyed when he heard this, and continued to ask: "But where is the young girl? Quickly take me there, so I can pay my respects as a disciple."

  Shennong immediately pulled Zhujiu Yin's hand and went out to find Nvwaa, but at this time, a tribesman rushed over in a panic, fell to the ground, and cried: "Nvwaa was playing by the sea, unfortunately drowned and died in the East China Sea!"

  "Girl!" Shennong's face changed instantly, feeling dizzy and almost fainting. He thought of how busy he had been with affairs and hadn't spent much time playing with his daughter, and his heart ached. He let out a loud cry, his voice filled with sorrow, even affecting the nearby Candle Nine Yin.

  After hearing the news, Jiuyin's eyebrows furrowed in concern. He hadn't expected to be too late and immediately flew towards Donghai. After searching for several days, he couldn't find the girl's body, but saw a bird making "Jingwei" cries, flying back and forth between Xishan and Donghai, carrying small stones and twigs, throwing them into the sea again and again, as if trying to fill up Donghai.

  Jiǔ Yīn carefully observed the candle and discovered that it had the aura of Shennong. How could he not know that it was the spirit of Nüwa after her death, but now her soul was lost due to resentment and she had forgotten her past memories.

  "What a pity!" Yuzhao Yin said, reciting the Super Degree Sutra from his mouth, and immediately transformed the Jingwei bird. Only to see the Jingwei transform into a soul, flying towards reincarnation.

  "It's good that three souls and seven spirits are intact." Zhu Jiu Yin felt a wave of relief, immediately grabbed the soul and flew towards the Shen Nong tribe, but found that Shen Nong was leading his people to offer sacrifices to the girl on the east coast. Without saying much, he landed immediately.

  Only then did Shen Nong's voice choke with sobs, loudly calling out the girl's name. Zhu Jiu Yin let out a soft sigh and immediately released the girl's soul, saying: "Don't be sad, Human Emperor, the girl's three souls and seven spirits are all intact, I'll take her to the Thirty-Third Heaven to ask Big Brother for help, we must be able to reforge her body. However, she was confused by resentment and lost her mind, afraid that she won't remember things from before."

  "Girl!" Shennong looked at the confused soul, tears streaming down his face, but he immediately wiped them away and respectfully said to Zhujiu Yin: "Thank you, Ancestor Witch, for lending a hand to save me. I am eternally grateful."

  "Don't be like that, I'll go find Big Brother right away." After saying that, Zhuo Jiu's shadowy figure flew towards the 33rd Heaven on his horse. Vote for recommendation
