Chapter 23: The Maiden Saves, Xuan Yuan Issues a Decree

  The Heavenly Court, within the Lingxiao Hall. The immortals gazed at the scene displayed in the Kunlun Mirror, their hearts filled with a sense of awe! Mortals may seem insignificant to them, but they should not be underestimated! A glint of insight flashed across the Jade Emperor's eyes, as if he was deep in thought.

  Above the thirty-three heavens, inside the Jade Heaven Palace. The Goddess Nüwa gazed at the human tribes below and nodded her head.

  In the midst of chaos, in the Fire Cloud Palace. The Shennong Sacred Emperor asked Fuxi Sacred Emperor with deep concern: "Brother, do you think Xuanyuan can lead our human tribe through this calamity?"

  Fuxi heard this and smiled slightly, saying: "Imperial brother, no need to worry too much! After this battle, our human tribe will be completely unified, and Xuan Yuan can also ascend to the Tao safely!"

  Shennong nodded and stopped talking, focusing on the movements of the people in the lower realm.

  In the Western Paradise, Zhunti Daoren said to Jieyin Daoren: "Brother, now that the great calamity of humanity has begun again, it is exactly the time for me to spread the teachings of the West."

  The Taoist priest remained silent for a moment after hearing the words, then said: "Junior brother, although the human race has its fate at this time, it is still not the time for us to rise to greatness. We must wait!"

  "Is it just a matter of waiting until when will be the day of great prosperity for the Western Teachings?"

  The master's younger brother lightly shouted, like a morning bell and an evening drum: "Younger brother, your attachment is too deep, your anger has already been stirred!"

  Zhun Ti's body shook, and then his breathing immediately calmed down. His face was calm, without sorrow or joy. He bowed to the guide and said, "Thank you, Master!"

  The Western Sect leader nodded and said, "Junior Brother, there's no need to rush. The day of our sect's great prosperity will come!"

  Zhun Ti Dao Ren nodded upon hearing the words and then paid attention to the movements of the lower realm together with Jie Yin Dao Ren.

  The sky was clear and the realm was profound. Hongyuan waved his hand, releasing a stream of pure energy that descended into the lower world, landing on Fangzhang Xianzhou. A moment later, Youchao and Suiren arrived before Hongyuan.

  When the two of them finished their bows, Hong Xuan said calmly: "This time, the great calamity for the human race is caused by Chi You, the Great Shaman of the Jiuli tribe, who is stirring up trouble. Although the Shaman tribe retreated to Beijuzhou after the Great War between Shamans and Demons, they have always fantasized about regaining control over the land one day. However, the human race is destined to be the master of heaven and earth, and no one can change this. You two can now descend into the mortal realm and secretly watch over the human race, do not let Chi You's plans succeed!"

  Youchao and Suiren together worshiped the Tao: "Disciples humbly follow the words of the Holy Father, to ensure that Xuanyuan is safe!" Then they bid farewell to Hongyuan and went down to the lower world.

  Among the army of bears, six people from Guang Chengzi's side suddenly moved, looked up and gazed into the sky in front of them. They saw six streams of light coming from the horizon, and in an instant they arrived in front of everyone. With a loud crash, they fell to the ground, creating a huge pit.

  Everyone was shocked, and the six Guangchengzi quickly arrived at the pit and looked down. They saw that in the pit, seven people were lying in disorder. It was actually the six Jincheng Golden Immortals of the Xuanjiao Sect and Li Mu. At this time, all six Jincheng Golden Immortals had pale faces, blood oozing from their mouths, weak breathing, and their immortal auras had dissipated. Only Li Mu had fainted, but he was unharmed.

  Guang Chengzi and others inhaled a mouthful of cold air, and Taiyi Zhenren exclaimed: "After all, who can hurt the fellow masters to this extent?"

  Guang Chengzi waved his hand and exerted a gentle force, lifting the seven people up and placing them flat on the ground. He said, "For now, we must first treat their injuries, and then we will know who they are. I see that my six junior brothers have activated my Jade Clear Secret Method, which has injured their vital energy and is difficult to cure!" Having spoken, he sighed incessantly.

  Everyone heard this and furrowed their brows, thinking hard for a solution, but still had no clue!

  But then the girl took out a white jade bottle with a glowing liquid from her sleeve and said to everyone: "This is the immortal wine made by our teacher using Huang Zhong Li's brewing method. Brother Guang Chengzi can take it and give each of the six brothers one drop, which will allow them to recover their vitality and repair their spiritual energy!"

  Guang Chengzi was taken aback for a moment, then immediately bowed his head and said: "In that case, I must thank Shifu's Lingyao!"

  The girl smiled and said: "Elder brother, why are you like this? The six elder brothers also suffered for the sake of our human race, a little wine is not worth mentioning, besides, I still have a lot on my body!"

  Guang Chengzi heard the words and smiled bitterly, secretly thinking: Hongyuan Shifu indeed dotes on his female disciple extremely, to actually bestow such a rare and precious medicine as if it were worthless!

  Guang Chengzi collected his thoughts, thanked the girl again, took the fairy wine from her hand, opened the bottle cap, and a refreshing fragrance wafted out of the bottle mouth, fresh and pleasant, with a subtle scent that seemed to exist yet not exist. Just smelling it once, Guang Chengzi felt that his internal power had increased, and his primordial spirit was refreshed, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh: It's indeed worthy of being the best fruit wine in heaven and earth, truly extraordinary!

  Only to see a stream of wine flying out of the bottle, turning three circles in the air and then dividing into six drops. Guang Chengzi stretched out his hand and guided them, with each person getting one drop of immortal wine on their lips. Before long, the faces of the six people turned from pale to red, and their complexions gradually became more vibrant.

  Guang Chengzi then exerted his magical powers to awaken Li Mu, and when the seven of them came to, he said to Liu Jin Xian: "The six of you brothers stirred up a secret method that injured your vital energy. Fortunately, there was Nü Wa's spiritual medicine to treat it, otherwise I don't know how many years or months it would take for you to recover!"

  Lu Jin Xian and others simultaneously bowed their heads to the girl and thanked her: "We must also thank our junior sister for her kindness!"

  The girl nodded and said, "But I don't know who injured the six senior brothers?" The crowd also looked at the six people curiously, wanting to know who had such a powerful method that forced the Six Golden Immortals of the Xuanmen to use their secret technique and hurt their own vitality.

  Huang Long sighed and said: "We were injured by the three great witches of the Wu tribe, Feng Bo, Yu Shi, and Chi You!"

  Everyone was shocked! Taiyi True Person exclaimed: "How can this be? It's actually the Great Witch of the Wu Tribe!"

  Jiuliusu also sighed and said, "This can't be fake, we will wait for the Emperor's time to join the Xuanjiao Church, and have seen the magical powers of the Wu tribe. Now that Fengbo and Yushi are in front of us, how could we mistake them?"

  Everyone heard the words and frowned, not to mention Guang Chengzi and others, even Xuan Yuan Huangdi and others had also heard about the power of the ancient Wu tribe that dominated the vast land in the ancient times. Now, it is said that Chi You of the Wu tribe wants to usurp the throne of the human emperor, and a big battle is likely to be unavoidable. It's just unknown how many innocent civilians of our human race will die in the sea of swords and flames this time! Xuan Yuan Huangdi thought helplessly in his heart.

  At this time, Li Mu came to the front of Xuanyuan Huangdi, knelt down on the ground, and with tears in his eyes said: "I am incompetent, causing my 100,000 vanguard army to be defeated, I deserve death!" After finishing speaking, he repeatedly knocked his head and cried out for punishment without stopping.

  Beside him, Ju Liusun turned to Xuanyuan Huangdi and said: "This matter is not the responsibility of General Limu, it's just that we are incompetent, and we only managed to save General Limu!" After finishing speaking, he let out another sigh.

  Huangdi Xuan Yuan helped Li Mu up with force and said to the crowd: "The fault is not on General Li Mu, nor is it on the six immortal elders. It's all on me, Huangdi. If I hadn't underestimated the enemy, how could our 100,000-strong army have suffered such a disastrous defeat?"

  All the officials and sons heard this and hastily kowtowed, crying out: "Your subjects are guilty!"

  Xuanyuan Huangdi sighed and said, "All of you get up! Now who is right or wrong is no longer important. What's important is that we should have a good strategy to deal with this great disaster!"

  The Shang Emperor looked up at the wind and then bowed down to report: "Your Majesty, now that the witch tribe's Chi You wants to usurp our human tribe's orthodoxy, why not issue a decree to announce to the world, asking for the assistance of true scholars like us?"

  Huangdi Xuan Yuan heard this and asked Guang Chengzi: "Master, what strategy should be adopted after the wind?"

  Guang Chengzi sighed, "It can only be like this! Without deceiving Your Majesty, my twelve fellow Taoist brothers and I have achieved the Great Luo Golden Immortal, but in front of the opponent's great witch, we still find it difficult to win. The words of Feng Hou are not wrong, please order Your Majesty to issue a decree asking the Taoist masters from all over the world to come out of the mountains to assist us. I will also return to Kunlun Mountain to invite some Taoist friends to help Your Majesty."

  Huangdi Xuan Yuan heard this and bowed to Guang Chengzi, saying: "In this way, the people of the Xuanyuan clan thank you, Master!"

  Guang Chengzi nodded and said to the eleven Golden Immortals: "I will return to Mount Guang and invite fellow Taoist friends to come down the mountain to assist the Emperor, it's a lot of trouble for all my junior masters!"

  Eleven Golden Immortals said in unison: "Elder brother, rest assured, we will ensure the Emperor's safety!"

  Guang Chengzi nodded and bid farewell to everyone, then drove his cloud back to Kunlun Mountain.

  It is: The elixir of immortality and the divine medicine save the six immortals, the three mountains and five peaks search for the group of true ones.
