Chapter 291 Shocking News
"No need to be modest. Even if a master enlightens you, you still need to have the comprehension." Laozi stroked his long beard with a gratified look on his face. "You don't need to worry about living in the Fire Cloud Cave forever. Just cultivate diligently and consolidate your foundation. With your comprehension, I think you will soon be able to cut off a corpse to take your place for a while."
"I will come to thank Master for his auspicious words once I can freely enter and leave the Fire Cloud Cave." Fuxi knew that his current cultivation was all acquired out of thin air, and his foundation was weak, so he urgently needed to go into seclusion to consolidate it.
"No need to rush. Once the Earthly Emperor and the Human Emperor return to their positions, Fire Cloud Cave will be bustling with activity." Laozi was very satisfied with Fuxi's steadiness and reliability. In the future, when Fuxi could move freely, he would let Fuxi come to Kunlun to help Duobao with some of the burdens.
Fuxi smiled, not optimistic about whether the two emperors could successfully return to their positions. The power struggles within the human race were very serious. He was just able to withdraw early and successfully accumulate enough merit to return to his position when his prestige was at its peak.
But Shennong... Shennong had been eyeing his position with predatory intent, little did he know that no one else had their eyes on Shennong's location.
"It's almost time to go to Fire Cloud Cave," Nuwa reminded him. She didn't want her brother to be captured by the Heavenly Dao and taken back to Fire Cloud Cave to destroy the human race's fortune. It would be more dignified for her brother to go in on his own.
"The future is long, so I bid you farewell..." Fuxi bid farewell to Laozi, heading to the Fire Cloud Cave, not knowing when he would emerge again.

Yuanshi stood silently in mid-air, his heart filled with raging anger. Unfortunately, he had been delayed for a short while, and it was too late to catch up now.
With a cold laugh, Yuanshi directly and forcibly communicated with the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi. The next second, he appeared directly behind Chang Hao. Looking around, he saw raging flames. Very good, there was no Tongtian. He was clever enough to know to stay far away.
Fortunately, Tongtian was not there; otherwise, Yuanshi would have been tempted to gather all the true fire of the sun and put Tongtian inside to burn him.
Chang Hao felt a little guilty, so Tongtian sent him a message as soon as he left Kunlun Mountain.
Chang Hao then recalled the Sun Essence Wheel from Tongtian's hands and told Tongtian to find a place to hide and not to appear in front of Yuanshi for a while to avoid being beaten. Now Tongtian is probably hiding on Jin'ao Island in the East Sea to avoid trouble.
Chang Hao felt that he was too kind and shouldn't have let Tongtian hide. It would have been better to just coax Tongtian to come to Yuanshi and vent his anger on him.
Yuanshi glanced at the Sun Essence Wheel that had been reattached to Chang Hao's waist, "Little Ancestor, why did you have to..."
Tongtian stole the Sun Essence Wheel. Chang Hao and Tongtian were accomplices in this matter. No, Chang Hao was the principal offender, and Tongtian was at most an accomplice.
Chang Hao could hear the trembling in the last syllable of the voice, along with feelings of grievance and disbelief. His guilt slowly grew, but then he thought, wait a minute, he used the switcheroo trick to get his own Sun Essence Wheel back, why should he feel guilty?
"You've arrived, but unfortunately, the Sun Star has nothing to offer you." Chang Hao was completely at ease. He had no reason to feel guilty. He glanced at Tai Run Pond, thinking that Yuan Shi's arrival was unfortunate and that he might bump into his father and mother later.
“With you here, what need is there for hospitality? Your presence is the best hospitality,” Yuan Shi said, a hint of sorrow rising to his brow. “If you keep delaying, can’t I even keep the Sun Essence Wheel as a mere illusion?”
With the Sun Essence Wheel in hand, Yuanshi could pretend to be Chang Hao's legitimate Daoist partner. Without the Sun Essence Wheel, Yuanshi seemed to have lost half his soul, completely dejected, accompanied by the bitter wind and rain.
Knowing that Chang Hao was behind this, Yuan Shi could only feel sorrow and resentment when facing Chang Hao.
However, Yuanshi gritted his teeth inwardly, thinking, "Tongtian, you'd better not show up before he calms down, otherwise, he doesn't know what he might do."
“Sure, why not? Take whatever magical treasure you fancy, don’t be shy.” Chang Hao opened the treasure vault directly, gesturing for Yuan Shi to go in and choose whatever he wanted.
“Those are not what I like, but you won’t give me what I like,” Yuanshi said meaningfully. “Dijun is back. While I am happy for you, I am also filled with endless sorrow. Will you give me up for Dijun?”
Yuanshi couldn't help but worry about Chang Hao's attitude. Given his terrible relationship with Dijun, Yuanshi had to prepare for the worst.
If Di Jun resorts to any means necessary, I will be in danger.
"No." Chang Hao's eyes darted around. Given the current state of affairs between him and Di Jun, it was far from enough for Di Jun to make him compromise, but as for the others...
Love, of course, can't last as long as selfless family affection. Brotherhood, which evolves from friendship, might last forever, but romantic love might last forever, but it's only a minority...
Yuan Shi's heart rose and fell, filled with disappointment. "If Di Jun can't do it, then someone else can, right?"
"I don't want to lie to you," Chang Hao said honestly. "You can accept that, aren't you the most important person in my heart? If you can't accept it, I think we should..."
"It's okay, I can accept it, really, I love you more than anything." Yuan Shi pulled Chang Hao into his arms and tenderly kissed Chang Hao's forehead, not wanting Chang Hao to say those two words, as it would be an unbearable burden for him.
“I fear we are not destined to be together. I have tried my best, but I am afraid you will be heartless and all my deep affection and expectations will be in vain. Without you, the lonely years will never end,” Yuanshi whispered in Chang Hao’s ear. “Could I be fortunate enough to become your Daoist partner?”
Chang Hao looked up and his eyes met Yuan Shi's eyes, which held boundless depths of emotion. For a moment, he couldn't escape the vast sea of feelings within him. "When..."
"You scoundrel! This is outrageous!!! Get out of here!!!!" The Sun Star, which had been quietly burning with the true fire of the sun, suddenly came to life. The raging true fire burned even more fiercely, as if it wanted to burn the two people who were embracing each other to ashes.
Yuanshi was flirting with his son on his own territory, the two exchanging glances. Dijun was merely merging bodies; he was either dead or, if he was, he would be brought back to life by anger.
Fueled by this anger, Di Jun's body and hair ignited with the true fire of the sun. His primordial spirit and physical body, united in their hatred of the enemy, immediately merged together.
The loud shout startled Chang Hao awake. Oh no! How could Di Jun have merged with the physical body so quickly?
After seeing him and Yuanshi embracing intimately, Chang Haoyu's face flushed red with embarrassment.
Yuanshi was momentarily stunned, and asked Chang Hao with his eyes: Why is Dijun here?
Chang Hao glared at Yuan Shi with a complicated expression: You're a saint, didn't you realize it yourself, and you blame me? You're still tempting him with your full power. Doesn't Yuan Shi have any self-awareness about his looks?
"It is indeed my fault. The moment I saw you, I forgot everything else." Yuanshi admitted his mistake quickly. The Sun Star was Dijun's territory, and Tairun Pond was indeed special, but it was his fault that he did not investigate the surroundings.
"Get separated from me!" Di Jun was furious. Sun Star was his territory, and he could find out anything that happened there if he wanted to.
He said that he seemed to have forgotten something, and he couldn't concentrate on merging with the physical body. It turned out that it was such a shocking piece of bad news.
