Chapter 104: Xuan Yuan Takes The Seat

  Di Jiang originally had the supreme heavenly wind blade, and suddenly felt the aura of Zhu Jiu Yin. He knew what was going on and didn't say much. He stopped refining the male and female double swords and took out the witch tribe's pure blood and the witch demon corpse that he had collected after the first great war between witches and demons.

  "Big Brother!" At this time, Zhu Jiu Yin stepped in, with a female ghost still trailing behind him.

  "I already knew about this matter, just watching from one side is enough." Emperor Jiang said calmly, taking over the girl's soul.

  Jiǔ Yīn saw this and didn't say another word, standing at the side quietly watching.

  The Emperor Jiang glanced at the soul and found that it belonged to the fire element, similar to the Flame Emperor. He didn't say much and extracted some fire-attribute blood from the witch tribe's pure blood. Then, he took out dozens of corpses containing fire attributes from the collected witch bodies and threw them into the Qiankun Ding for sacrifice. Suddenly, flames shot up to the sky, and a powerful fire-attribute body appeared. The body was that of a young girl, around eleven or twelve years old, and she looked adorable.

  Di Jiang didn't stop, and with the soul jade in his hand, he infused it into her body. Instantly, the two merged, and the girl's true form was recast. This new body was incredibly strong, although not comparable to a Great Witch, but still far superior to ordinary people. At least it was stronger than the lotus flesh body that Taiyi True Person had refined for Nezha later on.

  The girl regained her consciousness and looked at Emperor Jiang with a pair of eyes, then looked at Zhu Jiu Yin, looking very confused.

  Jiǔ Yīn walked forward with a smile, stretched out his hand and said kindly: "Don't be afraid, I am your master, the Buddha King Wū Shén Wáng Fó Jiǔ Yīn. Your name is Niáng Wá, now I give you the Buddhist name Duò Hǎi Wáng. From now on, follow me to cultivate with a pure heart and you will understand your past and present lives."

  "Master?" The girl said in confusion.

  Di Jiang shook his head and said, "The girl's heart is not complete, let alone becoming a Buddha, even the position of Bodhisattva cannot be attained, she still needs to undergo more training in the vast wilderness."

  After listening to the nine yin, he nodded and looked at the girl again before saying: "Indeed, her temperament is not enough, unlike King Ksitigarbha, whose temperament is firm and solid enough to attain Buddhahood. If it weren't for the fact that her power has not yet reached the level of Mahayana, I'm afraid Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha would have to be called Buddha Ksitigarbha instead."

  "King Ksitigarbha is in the cycle of transmigration, saving evil spirits and accumulating countless merits. Without leaving for a thousand years, he can attain the position of Mahārāja Golden Immortal. Continuing like this, it's only a matter of time before he becomes a Saint of the Earthly Way." Emperor Jiang paused, "This time, the girl's memories are lost. You take her to see Shennong and then bring her on a tour of the Primordial Chaos; afterwards, she will naturally recover."

  After hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin didn't say anything else. The girl transformed into Jingwei, who had the ambition to fill up the sea. Based on this point, it might be difficult for her to attain Buddhahood in the future, but she would definitely become a Bodhisattva.

  Nothing else, Chujiu Yin and Emperor Jiang talked for two more sentences before leaving.

  Looking at Zhu Jiuyin's confident figure, Emperor Jiang couldn't help but smile slightly. It seemed that he liked the position of the Witch God Sect Master very much. In the future, he would need to be helped more often. The Witch God Sect's luck was connected to the Wheel of Reincarnation's luck; the stronger it became, the higher his own strength as the master of reincarnation would become. Emperor Jiang thought to himself and began searching for people with potential in the Witch God Sect. First, the name Dou Zhan Sheng Fo came to mind. This monkey was already set on being chosen.

  After the development of Witchcraft, it was not good to continue staying in the Netherworld, and later on, a quiet place for meditation had to be planned. Emperor Jiang thought again, suddenly remembering the 24 Dinghai Divine Pearls. If remembered correctly, with these pearls and the Qiankun ruler in the hands of the Burning Lamp Taoist, they could evolve into 24 heavens, which were also small worlds that could be attached under the Netherworld. This way, it would not affect the ghosts' reincarnation and increase the Netherworld's aura, a win-win situation.

  Thinking of this, Emperor Jiang revealed an evil smile. It seems that only Fu Deng Dao Ren can be humiliated. If he needs a reason, well? This is the trend of the times.

  Zhu Jiu Yin returned to the Shennong tribe and immediately entered the grand hall, where he saw that Shennong was still using the Huaxian Ding to refine medicine. However, his hair had turned completely white, making him look old and frail, as if he had aged twenty years in just a few days.

  "What's going on with the Human Emperor?" Candle Nine asked in surprise.

  Shennong suddenly discovered the candle nine yin, immediately stood up nervously and went to find the candle nine yin. At once, he saw a little girl hiding behind the candle nine yin, instantly his face was filled with surprise and excitement.

  "Girl!" Shennong shouted, about to step forward and pick up the girl. However, when the girl saw Shennong, her eyes were very confused, although somewhat familiar, but seeing Shennong approach, she was still afraid and dodged away.

  "Your Majesty, don't get excited. Although the girl has been reborn with a new body, she has lost her memories of her past life. Don't scare her." Candle Nine said, blocking Shen Nong's path.

  Shennong listened and looked at the girl again, suddenly tears streaming down his face, saying: "It's all my fault as a father for not taking good care of her, which led to this disaster."

  Jiuyin saw this and shouted out a Buddha's name.

  "Wu Shen Wang Fo, Ren Huang don't be sad, the girl will reach the Tian Xian realm and understand her past and present lives. I'll teach her, it's just a matter of a few years, take heart."

  Shennong listened and then calmed down, saying: "I was rude just now, I haven't even thanked Zu Wu for saving me."

  "The girl is also my disciple, saving her is a must. The Human Emperor doesn't have to be like this." Shennong looked at Zhuque Yinyang with a gloomy expression and said: "There's another thing I want to tell the Ancestor Witch, since the girl drowned, I've been feeling more and more that my body is aging. It's decided that three months later, we'll hold the succession ceremony and pass on the Human Emperor position to Xuan Yuan. As for the Nine Li Emperor, Shennong felt very ashamed."

  The candle heard the nine Yin, and it was clear that Shen Nong's intention was to pass on the throne to Huangdi, but in fact he was apologizing to himself.

  "Matters of humanity should be managed by humanity, the Human Emperor doesn't need to apologize to me, but I'm a bit puzzled. Di Ku's reputation and achievements are higher than Xuanyuan's, why would the Human Emperor still pass on the throne to Xuanyuan?"

  Shennong sighed, "Xuanyuan is also a great sage, and it's not unacceptable to pass on the throne to him. Moreover, both the Human Teachings' leader and my master Xuan have all supported him. I've thought about it repeatedly, and in the end, I couldn't help but agree."

  After hearing this, Zhu Jiuyin said faintly: "I will inform Emperor Jiu Li about this matter." He glanced at the little girl behind him and continued to say: "I will take good care of the little girl too. Farewell."

  After finishing speaking, he took the girl and suddenly disappeared into the great hall.

  Shennong gazed at the spot where Zhujiu had disappeared, and let out a deep sigh. He too had wanted to pass on his position to Emperor Zhuanxu, but there were public reasons - someone was pressuring the ruler, and private ones - he had to settle accounts with his former master Xuan Du.

  Shennong intended to abdicate and yield to virtue, this disappeared soon after it spread throughout the human race, but there were not many voices of praise among the human race, why? Because the successor was not the emperor who created writing, Di Ku, but rather the mediocre Xuanyuan. Of course, Xuanyuan also had some supporters, otherwise this succession ceremony might not have been held.

  Xuanyuan was thrilled to hear the news and couldn't sleep, so he immediately began to organize his management of the human tribe. When the time comes for him to take over, Shennong will surely test him, so he should make some preparations to satisfy Shennong.

  The entire Yellow Emperor tribal alliance was stirred up, and in just a few days, an army of 10,000 men set out to escort Xuan Yuan to the Shen Nong tribe. Guang Chengzi, as the master of the Human Emperor, naturally followed suit, and at this time he was smiling and discussing matters of merit with his fellow disciples on the side.

  The Jiuli tribe, on the other hand, seemed somewhat tense, with everyone complaining that Shennong was unfair and did not pass on the throne to Emperor Zhi. The Jiuli people were naturally fond of fighting, and if it weren't for Emperor Zhi's disapproval, they would have probably taken up arms to question Shennong.

  At this time, Emperor Zhuan came out of the great hall, exuding an aura of majesty, and the people of the Jiuli tribe immediately fell silent.

  "The Emperor's succession is a major event, and as the leader of the Jiuli tribe, I must attend. However, this time we cannot show weakness, so I want to select 10,000 brave warriors to follow me, but who is willing to go?" Emperor Ku said calmly.

  "We are willing to go and demonstrate the power of the Nine Li clan." The people of the Nine Li tribe stood up and volunteered, this time they just happened to go and take a look at that Xuan Yuan who was about to succeed.

  Xuanyuan arrived at the Shennong tribe, which was relatively close by. He accepted Shennong's invitation and entered the grand hall to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. The two of them talked for several days, and Xuanyuan's management methods were satisfactory to Shennong, who couldn't help but feel delighted in his heart. This way, he also felt that he had fulfilled his responsibility to the human tribe.

  Within half a month, Emperor Zhuan also brought the 10,000-strong Jiuli tribe to hurry over. Without entering the Shennong tribe, they set up camp not far away. Out of respect, however, Emperor Zhuan still took Feng Bo and Yu Shi with him to meet Shennong.

  At this time, Shennong was sitting in the great hall with Xuan Yuan, and there were also Shennong's teacher Xuandu and Guang Chengzi and others explaining the twelve teachings. Hearing that Emperor Zhuan came to visit, Shennong immediately went out to greet him. This person created the characters of the human tribe, and Shennong was like this.

  Di Qing stood at the entrance, carefully sizing up the place where Shennong lived. Although it was called a great hall, it was only slightly more spacious than an ordinary house. It was unknown whether the Shennong tribe had not yet popularized architectural techniques or if Shennong himself was willing to live in this humble abode.

  "The great Emperor, please come in quickly." At this time, Shen Nong walked out and saw that Emperor was over 30 years old. He had a refined air about him, yet he did not lose his dignity. Shen Nong couldn't help but nod secretly and warmly grasped Emperor's hand, leading him into the hall.

  "When one is not called a great sage, this time I have come to pay respects to the Human Emperor." Di Ku also carefully measured Shen Nong, seeing that his hair and beard were all white, and couldn't help but feel some emotion.

  When Di Ku entered the hall, he found that there were still many people inside. Each of them had an otherworldly air and a proud demeanor. How could Di Ku not know that they were Xuan Dou and some disciples of the Zhan Jiao Sect? Seeing that they didn't pay attention to him, Di Ku also didn't bother with them. He saw an empty seat next to Xuan Yuan and, without being polite, immediately sat down.

  Xuanyuan saw Di Ku and was also excited in his heart. This Di Ku was a great sage, although he was a competitor for the position of Human Emperor, but still couldn't help but speak out to pay respects.

  "It's been fifteen years since I last went to Jiuli to learn the art of city-building, and I haven't seen Emperor Wu in all that time. I never thought he'd create writing, an achievement that makes Huangdi feel deeply ashamed."

  Di Ku carefully sized up Xuan Yuan, seeing that he was sincere in his words. However, in his heart, he didn't feel quite right about it. The position of Human Emperor was something that had to be competed for. At worst, even if he lost the battle against him later on, he could still keep him as an official and pass the throne down to him after achieving enlightenment himself, allowing Xuan Yuan to become the leader of the Five Emperors.

  The Emperor's distraction, however, incurred the displeasure of Guang Chengzi. He heard Guang Chengzi let out a cold snort and said, "You're quite arrogant, aren't you? The future Human Sovereign is personally conversing with you, yet you're distracted - what kind of logic is that?"

  Di Jun furrowed his brow, first giving Xuan Yuan a apologetic smile, before turning to Guang Cheng Zi, with cold glints flashing in his eyes.

  At this time, Feng Bo behind Emperor Ku was furious, stepped forward and shouted: "Gong Cheng Zi, wasn't the kick last time not ruthless enough?"

  Guang Chengzi was shocked and only then did he clearly see the person standing behind Emperor Zhuan. He glanced at Xuandu and his eleven fellow disciples beside him, and with a deep breath, said: "The people of Jiuli are so rude and discourteous, how dare they shout loudly in front of the Human Emperor? Indeed, they do not listen to education."
