When writing these words, the young Jade Emperor seemed to have a feeling that he had given his all and yet felt completely satisfied. He retracted the fingers of his right hand and subconsciously took a half step back, looking at the only two words "anti-heaven" among the countless "caution", "vigilance", and "cannot be fully trusted".
These two words are among these cautious, survival-oriented words.
But there is an indescribable sharpness in him, like an old man in his twilight years, yet still showing the spirit of youth.
The young Jade Emperor remembered what Qi Wuhuo had said, which was very meaningful: "Just like before you lost your memory, you already have the foundation. What's the problem with starting over and mastering it again?"
It seemed that because his consciousness was just born, like a young boy in the sun, this sentence fit his state of mind, and countless thoughts emerged in his mind. He exhaled slightly, raised his fingers, and continued to write.
[This move is naturally bold and reckless, and will naturally face many obstacles]
[This is different from our previous idea of seeking stability]
[We all looked from the top down, while Brother Qi looked from the bottom up]
[We saw that it was difficult to maintain and suppress the immortals, so we tried our best to hold on; Brother Qi saw that the immortals were corrupted and did whatever they wanted, they were both like two sides of the same coin]
[Although it is extremely dangerous]
[But it doesn’t seem to be much different from how I suppress Tianque now, so it can be used as a backup method.]
[At worst, this body will be destroyed]
[Now that I think about it, we are the Emperor of Heaven, but we are puppets. Most of those above the level of True Lord are not afraid of us. It is because we have not been able to suppress them with thunder and lightning in the past thousand years. Therefore, our prestige is getting weaker and weaker. It is very difficult to suppress them from above.]
[But even so, among the eight divisions of heaven, there are still 30% of the immortals and gods who still respect us.]
[Today, I heard what Brother Qi said, connecting the five directions and five realms]
[The Northern Emperor also said that the chaos in Heaven could only be delayed but not completely resolved]
[I suddenly had an idea——]
[We are puppets in the sky, unable to suppress the four directions; but if we take the initiative to rebel, wouldn't that mean we have the reputation of being "orthodox", with 30% of the eight divisions of immortals and gods as generals, the Lingxiao Palace, the Heavenly Book, the Heaven-covering Flag, and the Haotian Treasury with several calamity-era treasures accumulated, making us the largest force? ]
【Isn’t this a chance for life】
[The North Pole and the South Pole restrict each other, and this is where our chance for life lies]
[Since there is nothing we can do to save the situation, why not try to create something new? ]
Zhang Xiaoyu looked calm, his eyebrows slightly raised, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes, which broke the increasingly dull and depressed mood after reading these jade scrolls. He paced back and forth, pondering for a long time, and said to himself:
[Since the meat is already rotten, it is better to chop it off]
[The promise of Haotian is already a thing of the past]
“As for the top strength, the worst that can happen is that we can just take the Lingxiao Palace and run to the Queen Mother Hou Tu. In the past, I said to be on guard against many people, but I didn’t say to be on guard against the Queen Mother Hou Tu. Besides, Qi Wuhuo plans to connect the five directions and five realms to isolate the Heavenly Palace. I don’t know whether it’s true or false, or whether it’s just an exaggeration…”
"If he can really achieve something, then we might as well just bring the High Heaven Palace with us to join him!"
"Turn this old heaven into a cage."
"From now on, this heaven is deemed to be outside the realm, and the six realms can live in peace."
Zhang Xiaoyu held it in his right hand and shook it slightly.
All the immortals, the Emperor of Beiji Ziwei and even his past self hoped that Zhang Xiaoyu would be the reincarnation of Haotian just like the Jade Emperor in the past. But now, a new idea suddenly came to his mind. He paced back and forth, looking at the jade plates with all kinds of caution, prudence and vigilance written on them.
These are actually attempts made by the Jade Emperor in the past, and are the experiences and lessons gained after trials and attempts.
It’s just that past attempts were made in the hope of maintaining stability by subduing these immortals and gods.
But I experienced many failures.
And now, almost all the high-level names in the heavens are on this carefully guarded list, and there is no one who can be relied on. After all, over the past eight thousand years, the Jade Emperor has lost his memory and power. Many immortals and gods are not stupid, but they can guess from clues that the Jade Emperor is at least injured, and they have their own ideas in their minds.
"What's more, if we want to walk the path of Haotian again and destroy the Heavenly Palace, doesn't it mean that the current eight generals and leaders of the heavens will lose their status and power? The high-ranking officials of these immortals will definitely not recognize us."
"The position of the Great Emperor Beiji Ziwei is questionable and cannot be completely trusted."
"After all, he recognized Haotian."
"Instead of us."
"And now, as the reincarnation of Haotian, we want to break Haotian's former foundation. In his opinion, this is a bit heretical..."
"In the Thunder Department, there is the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Sound Puhua Tianzun under the command of the Southern Emperor Changsheng. It is not allowed..."
"The Plague Department and the Water Department are not stable to begin with."
"Dou tribe, although Emperor Gou Chen has sealed himself in the Heaven Beyond Heaven, there are still some of his remnants in Dou tribe."
"The rest all obey the orders of the Great Emperor of Beiji Ziwei."
"The Lord of Fire Department is missing, and most of the Fire Department now worships Emperor Zhuling under the command of Emperor Nanji Changsheng. This is not allowed."
"The three hospitals of the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Hospital, are only auxiliary positions and do not have much fighting ability."
"Tianshuyuan is controlled by the Justice Lord and the Four Heavenly Kings..."
"The Exorcist's Court directly obeys the orders of the Great Emperor of the North Pole Ziwei, and it is impossible for them to conspire with me. The Buddhas are outside and do not respect the Heavenly Court."
The Jade Emperor, who already knew about his countless attempts in the past, was silent for a long time, thinking about who could be his companion and who could be his accomplice if he really wanted to break the impasse. The jade plates in front of him seemed to be moved by the wind and collided slightly, with a crisp sound -
Master Xuandu was being watched by many. Taiyi Tianzun was a disciple of Shangqing Sect and had also entered the Heavenly Palace. He would protect him, so they must not move.
Don't just listen to what they say.
We should observe his actions.
When the Jade Emperor was concentrating on thinking, all the immortals and gods in the sky seemed to surround him. They were wearing jade crowns and Taoist robes, and looked pure and free.
With a respectful smile on his face, his eyes were calm and his expression was natural; when the young Jade Emperor lowered his eyes, he seemed to be surrounded and surrounded by countless immortals and gods. The Heavenly Palace was vast and great, just like when it was first created several kalpas ago, and one by one the jade slips lit up, and the images of the immortals and gods dispersed.
None of them were credible. Finally, all eight groups of immortals and gods dispersed. The Jade Emperor raised his eyes and saw the back of the only Taoist priest left in front of him.
He was seen throwing the noble Nine Heavens Seal of Heaven into the river.
After all the suspected names were crossed out one by one.
And the other, the only one, who is trustworthy, stands out in a very direct way.
Jade Emperor Zhang Xiaoyu remained silent for a long time, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, and said to himself:
"Stop the catastrophe, help Hou Tu, and destroy Gou Chen."
"Reject the name of Zhenwu and abandon the Nine Heavens Rituals."
"He is hostile to the Heavenly Court, does not receive favors from the Northern Emperor, and is not a close confidant of the Northern Emperor."
"Qi Wuhuo."
"We have all seen his growth..."
"He is the only one who can be trusted. At least, he is the most reliable one now."
Zhang Xiaoyu closed his eyes and thought. The goal that emerged in his mind at this moment was to walk the Haotian Road from bottom to top. The immortals in heaven were suppressed in cages and were full of ambitious seekers. Countless attempts in the past 8,000 years and more than 600 generations had proved that the high-level immortals were not trustworthy.
But now he rejected the Heavenly Court's appointment in a decisive manner.
Qi Wuhuo, who also rejected the name of Zhenwu, was regarded as a fellow traveler in the eyes of the Jade Emperor.
He took a deep breath and wrote down:
[The me who comes later, please remember that Qi has no doubts and can be trusted for the time being]
[He also doesn't like the current Heaven Court, and he also wants to do something for the people, but we must know that if we only observe his words, we will only fail like in the past and learn another lesson; we need to continue to observe his actions. He said that he wanted to unify the world and lay out the nine provinces.]
[Let's see if he really has the heart and the ability to do so]
[Let’s see how Qi Wuhuo will do it]
[Remember, when addressing Qi Wuhuo, use "Brother Qi"]
[And our name is Zhang Xiaoyu]
[The sky of Lingxiao, the jade of unpolished jade]
[In front of Hou Tu Huang Di, if Brother Qi is present, you should call her "sister". If not, it is better to call her "Niang Niang". Her finger hitting my head really hurts.]
[Also, he seems to have a way to control his power, but it will probably stimulate his body and harm his soul, so Master does not allow it.]
[It's a pity]
At this time, the Jade Emperor paused and remained silent for a long time. Then he erased the regrettable things and wrote down:
[Of course, I will continue to descend to the mortal world to find Brother Wuhuo, and then try out what he said and the method he mentioned.]
[Try to control the power little by little, or in other words, practice again]
[In the past, I always felt that I had to control my body to prolong my consciousness, but what's the point of living in vain? ]
[In this way, first, I can try to see if I can take back my power; second, I can see how Qi Wuhuo acts, make friends with him, and see if he is of the same mind as me; third, I can also establish a good relationship with the Queen Mother of the Earth]
[If he really joins in the future, it won’t be so abrupt]
【As for the price...】
[From the records of eight thousand years, it is wrong to try many methods. It is difficult for the soul to control the body. The fluctuations and ripples of the body will cause the destruction of one's own soul. I think if I try rashly, it will probably cause fluctuations in my soul. My early death is a foregone conclusion. But it doesn't matter. After I die, I still have you.]
[And after you disappear, there will be the next one of us, and the next one of us, before we completely disappear]
[I will eventually find a way to repair my body]
[You will eventually find the merit of saving the world]
[Even if I die, what's the harm? ]
Zhang Xiaoyu raised his head and looked at the jade slips around him. He saw the words on them. Over the past eight thousand years, more than six hundred generations of Jade Emperors have explored the road here. They are really cautious, but also brave and diligent. They are exploring the road ahead. Zhang Xiaoyu made a decision to continue to go down to the mortal world, even if it will lead to the rapid extinction of this body's consciousness, but -
"If you don't have this heart, how can you accomplish anything?"
"How to save the world?"
"Why, calling it the sky!"
…
The young Jade Emperor loosened his fingers, and the jade talisman floated in the air. He was a little tired today, but he felt that this tiredness was different from the past, so he closed his eyes again.
After Qi Wuhuo sent away Hou Tu Huang Di Niangniang, he flipped through the secret scroll of destiny left by Xuan Zhen.
In his mind, he recalled everything that the young man Zhang Xiaoyu had said before.
He tapped his fingers lightly on the table and lowered his eyes.
"It was too much of a coincidence"
"I can't detect his breath either..."
"I lost my memory and was walking in the wilderness, surrounded by wolves, tigers and leopards..."
There is something else in his words. His cultivation level means he is not afraid of wild beasts, which is just a false statement.
The Queen Mother Hou Tu Huang Di Ji seemed familiar.
A powerful and uncontrollable force.
The Jade Emperor is ill...
Qi Wuhuo was inspired. He stretched out his finger and calmly wrote the three words "Zhang Xiaoyu" on the table.
Zhang means to draw the bowstring.
Like rain and snow, it first gathers into sleet. Sleet, ice and snow mixed together, is called sky snow.
The interpretation of the hexagram says: This body is like a drawn bow with an arrow on the string; life is like snow in the sky, which melts at sunrise.
Suddenly there was a slight sound from the door.
He raised his head and saw that Hou Tu Huang Di Niangniang was walking towards him. Zhang Xiaoyu was gone, and instead, there was a tall young Taoist standing behind her. The Taoist looked handsome and free and easy, but also a little lazy, with languid eyes.
Qi Wuhuo looked at him, and the latter also touched his chin, looking up and down at Qi Wuhuo who was flipping through the classics.
Looking at this junior brother who made him blow up many furnaces of pills.
How many furnaces exploded?
It must be seven or eight furnaces, right?
The empress said that she wanted him to come and see Qi Wuhuo, and Xuandu had already planned this, so he sent Taiyi to send the Jade Emperor.
Taiyi, ah Taiyi.
After all, I am the poor Taoist who is one step ahead of you.
Your eldest brother is still your eldest brother. Do you want to snatch my junior brother from me?
Go and eat the Taoist's ashes!
With a slight sigh in his heart, Master Xuandu bowed slightly and said lazily:
"Immortal Xuandu."
"Taishang Xuandu."
"Xuanwei, you can call me, Big Brother."
The young Taoist paused for a moment. The appearance of Master Xuandu made him guess something. He looked at the empress, then stood up and saluted, saying, "Xuanwei, meet Senior Brother..."
There are green mountains beyond the mountains and clouds moving in the sky.
From afar you can hear the sound of woodcutters chopping wood.
There was nothing grand about this kind of meeting; it was just like an ordinary meeting between Taoist priests and their fellow disciples in the mountains.
It was as if we had met before, as if we were old friends again, casually, peacefully, and calmly.
The second sentence of the young Taoist priest made Xuandu and Hou Tuhuangdizhi pause slightly.
This ordinary meeting adds a different flavor:
“It looks like.”
"Has the Jade Emperor returned to heaven?"
