Hu Le flew across the prehistoric world, saving many humans and also killing some water demons.
However, he was ultimately only one person, and this was a catastrophe for the entire prehistoric world. What he could do was extremely limited, and he could only do his best.
He rescued people from all kinds of suffering along the way, and on this day, he finally arrived at the foot of the King of Men Mountain.
Although floods have passed through this area, due to its high altitude, they have not caused a major flood, and the City of Kings still stands intact at the foot of the mountain.
Without Houtu Niangniang and others to guard the city, the army in the Human King City was nothing but a bunch of chickens and dogs. Chisongzi led the Yanhuang army and defeated the defending soldiers in just a few charges, capturing the city and taking a large number of allied troops prisoner.
Chisongzi captured Renwang City and then detached a portion of his forces to surround the ancestral home of the human race on Renwang Mountain.
The ancestral temple here was established by Houtu Niangniang and others to rival the ancestral temple of Zhoushan and to divide the destiny of humanity.
Now, as long as the ancestral temple of the human race here is destroyed, the human destiny will flow back, and the human race will be truly unified.
As for destroying the ancestral temple of the Human King Mountain, Chisongzi certainly couldn't do it himself; he could only wait for Hu Le, the Human Emperor, to come and do it personally.
Therefore, he has only sent a portion of his army to surround the ancestral temple.
As for the remaining soldiers and generals, he assigned them all to various parts of the prehistoric world to save the human race from the flood...
Chisongzi personally oversaw the arrival of Hu Le in the Human King City.
Time flows on, and years pass by.
On this day, he was discussing human affairs with a group of elders and priests in the city lord's mansion when suddenly a thought struck him. He looked towards the western horizon and vaguely saw a long, dark yellow river rolling in from the horizon.
"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived! All of you, quickly follow me out of the city to greet him!"
Chisongzi decisively ended the meeting, led a group of elders and priests out of the city, and stood quietly waiting in front of the city gate.
After about half an incense stick's time, they finally saw Hu Le riding a seven-colored auspicious cloud slowly flying down from the sky, and then landing not far away on the opposite side.
Chisongzi hurriedly led everyone forward to pay their respects.
Hu Le waved for them to get up, then ordered them to follow him to Renwang Mountain...
Before long, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain and saw a winding stone staircase leading straight to the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain stood a magnificent palace, which was the ancestral temple of the human race built by the goddess Houtu.
At this moment, a group of human soldiers were guarding the mountain road. When they saw Hu Le and his party arrive, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
Chisongzi waved to them, signaling them to step aside and clear the way for the mountain path.
Hu Le led the group up the stone steps and walked straight up.
As he ascended the stone steps, the Human Emperor Dao Fruit within his body began to become much more active. Strands of human merit and fortune surged from the void and were devoured by the Dao Fruit's incarnation.
And that Dao Fruit began to become perfectly round and flawless, steadily progressing towards perfection...
As Hu Le savored the wonder of all things growing and the perfection of creation, he strolled leisurely toward the mountaintop.
As they drew ever closer to the summit, auspicious clouds began to gather in the sky, and the interplay of yin and yang created boundless wondrous phenomena.
In an instant, countless dragons and phoenixes flew out from the auspicious light, dancing and singing in the sky.
Along the mountain path, the fairy grass began to grow wildly, and some brightly colored flowers bloomed almost at the same time.
In the blink of an eye, colorful flowers bloomed on both sides of the mountain path, turning the entire stone steps into a bright and beautiful ribbon.
Amidst the flowers, countless auspicious beasts prostrated themselves in worship, offering Hu Le the sacred Ganoderma lucidum fruit...
When the Goddess Houtu ordered the stone steps to be built to climb the mountain, she set the number as one, so the mountain path has a total of 129,600 steps.
If it were an ordinary person, walking up such a long flight of stairs would be exhausting.
But for Hu Le and his group, walking across these stone steps was as easy as walking on flat ground; they didn't even have to catch their breath.
As for why Hu Le insisted on walking up the stone steps one by one, it was simply to take the opportunity to evolve the Dao of Oneness and finally adjust his mind and spirit.
The so-called One Yuan is nothing more than the process from the Five Primordial Elements to the Primordial Chaos.
After all, achieving the perfection of the Human Emperor's Dao Fruit is secondary; breaking through to the Hunyuan realm is the real matter that will determine his life and death.
Millions of years of arduous cultivation, countless eons of planning... all the hard work and sacrifices will finally be revealed today...
The sun and moon rise and fall in the sky, day and night alternate, and no matter how long the steps are, they will eventually come to an end.
On this day, as the sun rose and its rays fell upon the earth, the thin mist in the mountains gradually dissipated, and the group finally reached the summit.
At this moment, the strange phenomenon above Mount Renwang entered its most magnificent and spectacular phase. The auspicious light and auspicious energy were so dense that they almost became tangible, and the celestial light and rosy clouds continued to rise. The innate divine light dyed the great sun in the sky with various colors.
These strange phenomena, it is unclear whether they are celebrating the eventual unification of the human race, the imminent attainment of a supreme human emperor, or announcing that another Primordial Saint will soon emerge in the primordial world...
Hu Le stepped onto the last stone step. Ahead lay a spacious square, at the end of which stood a magnificent temple dedicated to the Human Emperor.
The temples here are quite different from those in Zhoushan Ancestral Temple.
The temples of Zhoushan Ancestral Temple are all built with huge stones, which look ancient and heavy, majestic and full of endless vicissitudes.
The Human Emperor Temple here is built with various innate spiritual stones and immortal woods. It looks radiant and dazzling. In addition to being magnificent and spectacular, it also looks extremely luxurious and noble.
Compared to temples dedicated to human emperors, it resembles more of a celestial palace…
Looking at the incomparably magnificent temple, Hu Le couldn't help but laugh, "As the saying goes, the greatest sound is silent, the greatest form is formless. Does Fellow Daoist Houtu think that by building this temple so magnificently, she can overstep her bounds and become the ruler of the human race?"
In the end, it was all just a mirage, a fleeting illusion.
Upon hearing this, Chishongzi and the others could not help but nod in agreement.
Who made Hu Le win, and then the Earth Goddess lose?
As the victor, everything they say is naturally reasonable...
Moreover, their minds were completely focused on those two lines, "The greatest sound is silent, the greatest form is formless," which were truly thought-provoking, and the more they pondered them, the more profound they felt.
These two sentences come from the Tao Te Ching, which came from later generations.
Now, before the Taoist Taiqing has compiled the Tao Te Ching to be passed down to future generations, these two sentences are appearing in the primordial world for the first time. They represent the ultimate truth of the Tao, and it is the first time that people have heard such a simple and clear ultimate truth. How could they not be captivated by them?
Hu Le led the group across the square to the steps in front of the Emperor's Temple. He turned back to the group and instructed them, "You may all stay here and wait."
"yes."
Chisongzi and the others readily agreed.
Hu Le tucked the bamboo cane into his waistband and stepped onto the stairs.
There are 9981 steps in total. He quickly reached the end and appeared in front of the temple gate.
Looking at the tightly closed temple door, Hu Le took two steps forward and gently pushed the door open...
