After Wu Qi kowtowed to Guan Kong, his wife told him the purpose of his visit.
He was overjoyed upon hearing this.
Become the grand-disciple of His Majesty the Human Emperor?
This is a good thing that others would kill for, so how could he possibly object?
So he readily agreed.
"Since Your Majesty has taken a liking to my son, it is his good fortune, how could we possibly disagree..."
Seeing Wu Qi agree so readily, his wife hesitated for a long time before finally speaking, "Husband..."
Wu Qi frowned as his words were interrupted, turned and glared at the woman, saying, "What, Madam, do you have a problem with this?"
"This..." The lady hesitated, seemingly frightened by Wu Qi's gaze.
Guan Kong smiled and comforted him, "It's alright, just say what you have to say. If Wu Qi dares to make things difficult for you, I will take care of it for you."
“Your Majesty, please forgive my impertinence. It is a great blessing for my son to be favored by Your Majesty, but he is only a newborn and cannot even walk yet. How can he accompany Your Majesty to the mountain to cultivate Tao?”
As a mother, she has just given birth to her son, and she hasn't even had a chance to see him much yet, so how could she bear to be separated from him?
Guan Kong smiled gently after hearing this: "I understand your concerns. Don't worry, you can raise this child under your care for now. It won't be too late to let him come up the mountain to cultivate with me after seven years."
The woman was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly bowed to thank Guan Kong...
Seeing that the couple had agreed to let their son become her disciple, Guan Kong did not intend to stay any longer and ordered the boy to bring the baby back to her.
She took a jade talisman shrouded in pure energy from her sleeve and inserted it directly into the baby's body.
"Now that we have established a master-disciple relationship, I will give this item to you."
The jade talisman that Guan Kong just gave out wasn't any great treasure; it was merely a spiritual object she conjured up casually.
Given Guan Kong's current cultivation level, any spiritual treasure he could casually craft would be a dream come true for ordinary cultivators.
At least 99% of cultivators probably have never seen what the treasures forged by great supernatural beings look like...
The wondrous use of the jade talisman is quite simple: the spiritual energy within the talisman can nourish the child's true nature and conceal his destiny, preventing others from discerning his background and aptitude, thus protecting him from being coveted by external demons in the future.
After Guan Kong bestowed the jade talisman, he prepared to leave.
However, before leaving, she still gave a couple of instructions.
"I hope you will raise this child well in the future. I will send someone to pick him up in seven years."
"yes."
The couple agreed and respectfully escorted Guan Kong and his companion to the courtyard.
Guan Kong made a hand seal, and a seven-colored auspicious cloud rose from beneath her, carrying her and the boy to a height of ten thousand feet in the sky, before disappearing into the distance...
That night, Mr. and Mrs. Wu were so happy that they didn't fall asleep until midnight. As for the baby, it was placed in a small bed next to their bed.
Just as the couple drifted off to sleep, a beam of light shone into the room from outside the window, and after landing, it transformed into a tall figure.
The moonlight shone in through the window, revealing his face in its soft glow.
He was none other than Jumang, Dijiang's good friend from his previous life.
Although we are in the midst of a great calamity, the course of fate is obscure and difficult to predict.
Jumang, however, started by examining some of Dijiang's relics and, after divination, learned that Dijiang had been reincarnated here. Therefore, he came down the mountain to visit him.
However, when he arrived, he happened to see Guan Kong riding away on the clouds in the distance.
Therefore, he did not come over immediately, but waited outside the village for a while, and only entered the house after confirming that Guan Kong had really left.
He came to the crib and looked at the baby sleeping soundly there, feeling a surge of emotions.
Once a supreme innate deity in the primordial world, he has now become such a frail infant.
After watching for a while, he didn't take the baby away; instead, he left directly.
Although he really wanted to bring Dijiang back and personally guide him into the Dao, he immediately gave up the idea when he thought about Dijiang's own situation.
He is currently in the midst of a calamity, and his future fate is uncertain. If he takes Dijiang away now, and in the future he perishes in the same calamity as Dijiang, wouldn't that be harming Dijiang as well?
Moreover, he had just discovered the jade talisman inside the baby's body and clearly sensed the traces of Taoist magic from the Emperor's lineage contained within it.
He only needed a moment's thought to guess what Guan Kong was planning.
But upon learning this, a sense of sorrow inevitably arose in my heart.
This Dijiang is pitiful. He was killed by that master and disciple lineage, but in the future he will have to take his enemy as his master and often kowtow to the murderer to ask for teachings on cultivation methods.
How tragic this is!
But then he thought about it again and smiled bitterly.
Sad as it may be, unless Dijiang can enter the Xuanmen sect in this life, becoming a disciple of Hu Le and his apprentices is actually the best choice for him.
Thinking of all this, Jumang couldn't help but chuckle.
In the future, if Dijiang succeeds in his cultivation, awakens the Three Lights, and discovers that he has actually become a disciple of his enemy, what kind of expression will he make?
Jumang's mind was racing. He had come secretly and left quickly, soon returning to his own dojo...
...
As the sun and moon traverse and time flows by, several months have passed since the last great battle.
The Yanhuang army has made all preparations, and the entire army is ready to launch a new campaign.
On this day, the sky was high and the sun was shining brightly.
Chisongzi mustered his troops at the drill ground, launched a rally to swear an oath, and then issued military orders to launch a full-scale attack.
Millions of troops left the camp and marched in a mighty force toward the heart of the Alliance territory.
Along the way, the army was in perfect formation, with flags waving, and wherever they went, the allied forces surrendered without resistance.
One day, the allied forces arrived at the foot of a formidable pass.
This pass is called Tianyuan Pass, one of the most magnificent passes among the human race, built between two towering cliffs.
The fortress is majestic and towering, and the road in front of it is steep and narrow, making it difficult for birds to fly over.
The fortress is built of massive stones, and its walls are protected by a tight defensive array, making it impervious to water and fire, as well as able to withstand the bombardment of wind and thunder.
In the past, the human race built this pass to defend against an invasion by a race called the Giant Demon.
These giant goblins are tall and majestic, with the shortest being at least two zhang tall.
Their skin is incredibly tough, impervious to blades and spears, and they possess immense vitality. They can run swiftly through the mountains and forests and are adept at commanding the spirits of plants and trees.
It can be said that this is a rather powerful race.
Many years ago, a conflict arose between the two races over territorial issues, which triggered a great war between them.
The two sides fought several battles, and the human race suffered crushing defeats each time. In the end, they had no choice but to build Tianyuan Pass to defend against the invasion of the giant demon race.
However, although the giant goblin race is quite powerful, it has a great problem with the reproduction of its members. After a couple unites, it often takes decades or even hundreds of years to conceive a new life.
Therefore, in the end, the human race defeated the giant demons with their overwhelming numerical advantage and drove the remaining giant demons out of the prehistoric continent...
