Honghuang Taihuang
Chapter 357 Destiny Unfolds, Persuasion
"In that case, let's wait and see. Hopefully, the Divine Path can withstand the pressure from the many powerful forces in the prehistoric world. We are just the vanguard; there are others waiting for the Divine Path to make its move."
Xuan Si coldly looked at the three rulers of the divine path. Among the many powerful forces, the Xuan Turtle Royal Family was the one most affected by the Yin-Yang Holy God's Mandate.
Nearly 90% of the members of the Xuan Turtle Royal Clan cultivate the Great Dao related to Yin and Yang. Once the Yin-Yang Sacred God's Mandate is completed, the cultivation speed of more than 90% of the members of the Xuan Turtle Royal Clan will be suppressed by the Yin-Yang Sacred God.
Even if it's just due to Zhuzhao and Youying, they could shatter the foundation of the Xuan Turtle royal family members who mainly cultivate the Yin-Yang Dao at any time. Therefore, Xuan Si would never allow the divine path to complete the Yin-Yang Holy God Mandate.
Similarly, there are many practitioners of the Buddhist Twelve Links of Dependent Origination and the Path to Nirvana, who also vehemently oppose the Yin-Yang Holy Destiny of the divine path.
Even Shakyamuni Buddha agreed with Mahavairocana Buddha's view this time, merging his own Mahavairocana Buddha's fruit into Mahavairocana Buddha's body, thus enabling Mahavairocana Buddha to advance to the realm of Mahavairocana Buddha Lord.
Shakyamuni was in a peaceful state of mind and did not care about the struggles in the outside world, but when it came to the transmission of Buddhism, Shakyamuni could not remain indifferent.
The Phoenix Royal Family's Nirvana Sacred Flame also involves the Yin-Yang Dao. Their five major forces are the ones most affected by the Yin-Yang Sacred God's Mandate, which is why they immediately came to the Great Luo Heavenly Palace.
As for Zixiao, he was the one who revealed the destiny of the Yin-Yang Saint God. Zixiao's move was naturally to deal with the Divine Path, or rather, to provoke a great war between the Divine Path and many powerful forces. Only when these powerful forces and the top Primordial True Saints wear each other down can he hope to gradually take the lead and eventually become the number one person in the Primordial World.
"Shinto is stubborn and willful. The next time we meet, we'll be rivals. Take care."
Phoenix Mother Zhu Qi looked at Nuwa, her brows furrowed, and said, "As one of the few powerful women in the primordial world, Nuwa and Phoenix Mother Zhu Qi have some affection for each other, but this affection cannot hinder Phoenix Mother Zhu Qi's determination."
The various powerful forces in the primordial world have been vying for dominance, and Zhu Qi would never allow all members of the Phoenix Royal Clan to be suppressed and dominated by the Yin-Yang Holy God just because of a little affection for Nuwa.
"Going your own way? Are you talking about Shinto, or you guys? If Shinto's destiny is successfully fulfilled in the end, then aren't you the ones going your own way now?"
A voice carrying a hint of coldness rang out, and an undisguised, magnificent aura appeared in the Great Luo Heavenly Palace. Taiwei's figure appeared beside Nuwa at some unknown time.
Looking at Nuwa beside him, whose face was slightly pale, Taiwei revealed a cold glint in his eyes. The power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon suddenly erupted, and the silvery-white starlight transformed into thousands of rainbows that crashed down in front of the six Great Luo Dao Lords of Taishang Zixiao.
Unparalleled power erupted, and Taiwei took a half step back. Countless silver sparks exploded continuously. Taishang, Zixiao, and the other six were each pushed back several steps by the power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon. None of them expected that Taiwei would make a move as soon as he appeared.
"Trying to win by sheer numbers? If numbers were all it took, the five great royal clans would have already dominated the primordial world. This world values strength above all else. If you want to stop the divine will, show us your strength. Talking nonsense is pointless."
Taiwei coldly stared at the six Great Luo Dao Lords opposite him. The power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon continued to erupt. Although he did not have the support of the fortune of a great clan, with the power of the Limitless Balance Heaven, the Taixu Supreme Treasure on Taiwei's body could be completely unsealed at any time.
The appearance of Taiwei caused Taishang, Zhu Qi and others to change their expressions slightly. Among the many top-level beings in the prehistoric world, Taiwei had killed the most beings of the same level. No matter who it was, they would be wary of Taiwei.
Of the six, only Zixiao looked at Taiwei, her smile growing even gentler: "Finally, he has appeared."
"The divine mandate of Shinto will continue. Show us what you've got, we're ready."
A faint, uncertain voice rang out among the crowd. Beside Taiwei, Yang Mei, dressed in a silver robe and with white eyebrows, appeared. The Taixu Lock forcefully broke the merging of the six Supreme Beings opposite him, and a coldness appeared on his usually smiling face.
The blood river meandered, lotuses bloomed, and Youquan, carrying the evil sword, emerged from the blood lotus. He stood silently behind Taiwei, his vast and powerful, violent yet profound demonic aura causing the expressions of the many Great Luo Dao Lords present to change.
Youquan's cultivation level has surpassed that of everyone present. His cultivation level as a mid-stage Great Luo Dao Lord is definitely the number one person in the primordial world of this realm.
"Don't worry, we are no weaker than them in terms of either combat strength or numbers. After being idle for so many years, this time I can finally have a proper fight with these people."
Yang Mei's white eyebrows twitched as she addressed Fuxi and Nuwa, her bright eyes fixed on Taishang and the other six from Zixiao opposite her, before letting out a cold laugh.
Fuxi and Nuwa looked at Taiwei, Yangmei, and Youquan, and their tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed. Given their relationship, Fuxi and Nuwa wouldn't say anything to express their gratitude.
With their auras surging, Fuxi and Nuwa stepped forward, standing side by side with Taiwei and Yangmei.
"I didn't ask you to use this avatar as well."
Taiyi came to Fuxi's side, looked at Youquan standing behind Taiwei, and spoke.
"Therefore, this is a different price. For a supreme treasure of creation, my avatar will become a member of the divine path in this destiny." Taiwei looked at Taiyi and said calmly.
"A single treasure of creation can summon a Grand Luo Dao Lord? Are you trying to drag the demonic path into this destiny as well?!"
The Great Sun Tathagata looked at Taiwei with a serious expression. If the demonic path were to get involved in this destiny, the divine path plus the demonic path would be enough to turn the primordial world upside down.
"I'm willing." Taiwei took a scroll of Dao diagrams that shimmered with auspicious tri-colored light from Taiyi's hand, glanced at the scroll, and said coldly to the Great Sun Tathagata.
"Then let's meet on the battlefield."
Xuan Si coldly uttered a sentence, looked at the six people from Taiwei, and his figure disappeared into the Great Luo Heavenly Palace. After Xuan Si, Tai Shang, Da Ri Ru Lai, Zhu Qi, Yuan Huang, and Zi Xiao also left one after another.
Before leaving, Zixiao smiled at Taiwei and said, "This time I used the power of Heaven to suppress you, fellow Daoist. I wonder if you have a solution?"
"The grand trend of Heaven? The destiny of the Yin-Yang Holy God is the grand trend of Heaven. I will personally bring about the grand trend of Heaven in this era." Taiwei looked at Zixiao and sneered.
The power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon shook the surrounding space and time. The great power of the Creation Jade Disc in front of Zi Xiao continued to expand, blocking the attack of the Nine Li Heavenly Demon, and his figure disappeared into the Great Luo Heavenly Palace.
After Zixiao and the other six left, Taiwei looked at the distant Sun Star and Moon Star. The aura of Zhuzhao and Youying was rising continuously under the influence of the Sun and Moon Origin, but it was not realistic for the two who had just comprehended the Great Luo Dao Fruit to immediately advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord realm.
Before Zhuzhao and Youying are promoted to the Great Luo Daojun level, they need to buy some time for them.
Once Zhuzhao and Youying advance to the Great Luo Dao Lord level, they will be able to control more of the Sun and Moon's essence. At that time, even if Zhuzhao and Youying have just advanced to the Great Luo Dao Lord level, their combat power will be comparable to that of a peak Great Luo Dao Lord.
The presence of two peak-level Grand Luo Dao Lords is enough to significantly increase the completion rate of the Yin Yang Sacred God Mandate.
"I have already allowed the demonic path to begin its expansion. The Xuanmen and Buddhist sects do not have the extra energy to deal with this matter for the time being, but it shouldn't take long. I will think of a way to get the Xuanmen to withdraw voluntarily."
"The key now lies with the five royal families. Although only Xuan Si, Yuan Huang, and Zhu Qi appeared just now, you should know that the Cang Emperor and Bai Ju will not allow the Yin Yang Holy God's Mandate to proceed smoothly."
Taiwei looked at Taiyi and said that compared to Buddhism and Taoism, he was more worried about the five royal clans. In terms of strength and foundation, the five royal clans were even better than the four great gods, immortals, Buddhas, and demons, and their strength was unfathomable.
It's no exaggeration to say that the five royal families, who practically control the primordial continent and the vast oceans, possess some terrifying trump cards. At the very least, these five royal families should all have the chaotic coordinates of other eternal worlds. Taiwei sensed a trace of otherworldly energy from Phoenix Mother Zhu Qi earlier, a feeling different from that of the primordial world.
"I can go and persuade the White Tiger royal family. Bai Ju owes me a favor from years ago, but this matter is not easy and we may need to make some promises."
Fuxi spoke, and the Heavenly Ruler, radiating brilliant spiritual light, fell into Fuxi's hand.
"If the five royal clans attack all at once, the Divine Path will not be able to stop them. It would be best to eliminate the White Tiger royal clan, which has little to do with the Yin-Yang Holy God's destiny, and the strongest True Dragon royal clan. However, if we deal with the Xuan Turtle, Phoenix, and Qilin royal clans, we will still have a chance of victory."
Taiyi pondered for a moment and said to Fuxi, "You can promise Baiju that even if the Yin-Yang Holy God returns to his position in the future, the pure-blooded White Tiger Clan and the White Tiger Clan above the Taiyi Realm will not be affected by the Yin-Yang Holy God in the slightest."
"Is that so? I'll give it a try." Fuxi held the Heavenly Ruler, nodded to Taiyi and Taiwei, and his figure transformed into a long rainbow as he left the Great Luo Heavenly Palace.
Taiwei watched Fuxi leave, his brows furrowed slightly. Bai Ju's temper wasn't very good, and even though Taiyi had offered very generous terms, a great battle was still unavoidable.
At this time, the divine mandate of the Yin-Yang Holy God of the Divine Path has been made public. Other powerful beings may take advantage of the battle between Fuxi and Baiju to kick them while they are down, not to mention that Zixiao, who has been opposing Taiwei, is hiding in the shadows.
"Don't worry, I'm with Fuxi."
With a slight smile on his face, Yang Mei took a step forward and followed Fuxi away. Even if other Da Luo Daojuns attacked Fuxi and Yang Mei, the two of them could hold out for a considerable period of time.
In addition, Taiwei notified Qianshan, who had already been promoted to Da Luo Daojun, to also rush to the vicinity of the White Tiger Royal Court. If Fuxi is in danger, the three Da Luo Daojuns will join forces to destroy the White Tiger Royal Court first.
"The True Dragon Royal Family is a big problem. I just sensed that the divine senses of the Azure Emperor and Zhuyin were lingering outside the Great Luo Heavenly Palace. If the Supreme Zixiao and the others had chosen to make a move just now, then those two would probably have made their move immediately."
A hint of worry flashed in Nuwa's phoenix eyes. The White Tiger royal family might be easy to deal with, but the True Dragon royal family was not so easy. The True Dragon royal family was undoubtedly the most powerful force in the current prehistoric world.
The rise of the Divine Path has already greatly displeased the True Dragon Royal Family. The Azure Emperor and Zhuyin would never agree to let the True Dragon Royal Family sit idly by and watch the Divine Path grow further.
"I'll go and persuade the True Dragon Royal Family. I'm confident that the Azure Emperor and Zhuyin will agree," Taiwei suddenly said, a confident look on his face.
"This concerns the rise of the divine path and the destiny of the dragon race. Are you really confident?" Nuwa looked at Taiwei with a worried expression. Everyone present knew Cangdi's personality, and it would be very difficult for Taiwei to get Cangdi to acknowledge the divine mandate of Yin and Yang.
"Don't worry, I have a condition that the dragons can't refuse. As long as the Azure Emperor doesn't want the dragons to split, he will have no choice but to agree."
Taiwei looked toward the location of the Qilin royal family, let out a soft laugh, and took a step. Taiwei and Youquan had already left the Great Luo Heavenly Palace and headed toward the Eastern Ocean.
In the Great Luo Heavenly Palace, Taiyi sighed and turned to fly towards the Sun Star. He wanted to seize the time to help Zhuzhao advance further. Nuwa looked in the direction Taiwei had left and also turned to rush towards the Moon Star.
The power of the Nine Li Heavenly Demons stirred the void, and Taiwei and Youquan's figures continued to flee towards the Eastern Ocean. The Holy Evil Lord transformed into a streak of light and tore open the spacetime barrier. Taiwei, who had been promoted to the Great Luo Dao Lord, along with the completely unsealed Taixu Supreme Treasure, regained the power to tear through spacetime.
Five hundred years later, in the Eastern Ocean, the dragon vein within Taiwei's body trembled. The aura of the Dragon Emperor caused Cangji in the Dragon Abyss to snort coldly. The sea roared with wind and waves, and lightning flashed and thunder roared. The Cang Emperor descended upon Taiwei and Youquan amidst the wind and rain.
"Hmph, why did you lead me here? When did you start acting so furtively?" Cang Di said coldly, looking at Taiwei and Youquan.
The moment they arrived, the Azure Emperor realized that the secrets and destiny of this sea area had been shielded by the power of the two supreme treasures, the Nine Li Heavenly Demon and the Holy Evil Lord. Even other Great Luo Dao Lords could not sense the slightest aura of the four of them.
"So many precautions are necessary. You should know why I'm here. Tell me your dragon clan's requirements."
"When did you start helping the Divine Path like this? It seems that Taiyi's disappearance over the years must be related to you." Cangdi looked at Taiwei and said, "Demands? Without demands, I would never agree to the Divine Path's Yin-Yang Sacred God Mandate, and the True Dragon Royal Family would not allow other major forces to shake the True Dragon Royal Family's position."
The Azure Emperor shook his head at Taiwei. Just as Taiyi had said before, the True Dragon Royal Family would not allow the fortune of the Divine Path to surpass that of the True Dragon Royal Family. The True Dragon Royal Family, which had been the number one power in the prehistoric world, would not be willing to be relegated to second place.
"Don't be so absolute about things. The fact that I've come to the East Sea means I'm confident I can persuade you two." Taiwei looked at Cangdi with a confident smile.
Silvery-white starlight burned all around, and a map of the primordial world appeared before Cangdi and Zhuyin. The map looked unremarkable, except that the four cardinal directions had patterns representing the four sacred beasts of heaven: Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise.
"The Four Divine Beasts of Heaven not only represent the Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Taixu Star Sea, but also the four directions of the primordial world: east, west, south, and north. They are the supreme divine beasts that guard the four directions. The True Dragon, Phoenix, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise, as well as the four royal clans, have also seen their fortunes greatly increase because of the Four Divine Beasts of Heaven. You should be very clear about this."
Taiwei lightly tapped his finger on the primordial map, and the power of the four divine beasts of heaven expanded and rippled across the map. The laws of heaven and earth belonging to the four divine beasts descended on the primordial map, stabilizing the myriad phenomena of the primordial world.
"You were in charge of creating the Four Divine Beasts of Heaven, so you should know best what the Four Divine Beasts are related to this Yin-Yang Divine God."
The Azure Emperor frowned as he looked at the primordial map before him, unable to understand what Taiwei meant by mentioning the Four Divine Beasts at this moment.
"Don't be in a hurry. Look at this map. Don't you think something is missing? The four sacred beasts and the five royal families are missing. The Qilin royal family doesn't have the sacred beast they represent. Do you think they will be content with that?"
Taiwei reached out and pointed at the center of the primordial map. The bright yellow aura on the Qilin Royal Court continued to condense, faintly transforming into another sacred beast pattern.
"As early as the First Era, Yuanhuang was planning the sacred beast of the Qilin royal family, that is, the central sacred beast. The Qilin royal family's sacred beast has been completed. The Qilin royal family is preparing to hold a grand sacrifice to solidify their sacred beast as the central sacred beast. You dragons should not know this news."
The Azure Emperor looked at the sacred beast pattern sitting in the center of the primordial map, his expression changed slightly, his brows furrowed, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
After pondering for a moment, Cang Di looked at Taiwei and sneered: "You want to use this information to persuade my Dragon Clan not to attack the Divine Path? Not enough. Even if the Qilin Royal Clan completes the Mandate of the Central Sacred Beast, so what? Even if the strength of the Qilin Royal Clan increases with the Mandate of the Central Sacred Beast, it still cannot catch up with the True Dragon Royal Clan."
"In other words, in my eyes, the Shinto is a greater threat than the Kirin royal family!"
"The future of the Divine Path is indeed brighter and broader than that of the Qilin Royal Family, but at this stage, the Qilin Royal Family poses a greater threat to the True Dragon Royal Family. I haven't told you yet what the Central Sacred Beast that the Qilin Royal Family has refined is like."
The moment Taiwei finished speaking, Cangdi's expression changed drastically. In the center of the Primordial Map, the bright yellow sacred beast pattern was fully formed. It was winding like a snake, with four claws floating on clouds, two horns with nine segments, and its whole body was golden. The central sacred beast representing the Qilin royal family was not a Qilin, but a yellow dragon!
"The Central Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast! Once this sacred beast is merged into the origin of the Heavenly Dao, not only will the fortune of the Qilin royal family be elevated, but the Yellow Dragon lineage of the True Dragon royal family will also become the followers of the Central Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast. In other words, the Yellow Dragon lineage will become a branch of the Qilin royal family."
Taiwei looked at the cold-faced Cangdi opposite him, shook his head and said, "The Qilin Royal Family's opponent this time is only the True Dragon Royal Family. Other major clans and top powers will not only not stop the Qilin Royal Family, but will even help the Qilin Royal Family complete this destiny and split the bloodline source and fortune of the True Dragon Royal Family."
"Is this enough to ensure that the True Dragon Royal Family refrains from interfering with the divine path in this Yin-Yang Sacred Mandate?"
Taiwei waved his hand in front of him, and the location of the Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast in the center of the Primordial Map began to expand infinitely.
Soon, the Cang Emperor saw the Central Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast coiled above the earth and mountains, its four dragon claws descending from the clouds like pillars of heaven, pressing down on the earth, its dragon head landing in the celestial atmosphere, and its pair of dragon eyes shining with boundless brilliance like the sun, moon and stars!
"Yuanhuang! The Qilin Royal Clan! The fact that they were able to forge this sacred beast is enough to prove that the deaths and injuries of true dragons in our clan over the years were not just accidents. They were slaughtering my true dragon bloodline to divide the fortune of my true dragon royal clan. Very well, it seems that the great war of the five royal clans is about to begin!"
The Azure Emperor's tone was icy cold. He had already put the matter of the divine mandate out of his mind. Compared to the tearing apart of the bloodline and fortune of the True Dragon Royal Family, the Dragon Clan could ignore the matter of the divine mandate of Yin and Yang.
"The Dragon Clan may not participate in the Yin-Yang Sacred God Mandate, but once the Yin-Yang Sacred God Mandate is completed, I need you to guarantee that the pure-blooded True Dragons of the True Dragon Royal Clan will not be affected by the Yin-Yang Sacred God's essence."
"Okay, I already told Taiyi about this before we came." Taiwei let out a sigh of relief, finally managing to resolve the biggest problem with the dragon race.
If Taiwei hadn't left an avatar within the Qilin royal family, thus learning about their grand plan, it would have been impossible to persuade the Dragon Clan to abandon their opposition to the Yin-Yang Sacred God's Mandate of Heaven.
"The grand ceremony for the sacrificial ceremony of the Central Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast should begin within 100,000 years. If you want to prevent the birth of the Central Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast, you have no choice but to act in advance."
"Once the sacrificial ceremony officially begins, even if the True Dragon Royal Family mobilizes its entire force, other major powers will intervene to stop you. I suggest you make your move now, and I can give you the structural diagram of the Central Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast."
The primordial map in front of Taiwei shone brightly, with countless patterns spreading out and quickly transforming into a structural diagram of the central Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast. With this diagram, the success rate of the True Dragon Royal Family in dealing with the central Yellow Dragon Sacred Beast would increase by at least 30%.
"This time, consider it a favor my dragon clan owes you." The Azure Emperor put away the map of the primordial world, and his figure transformed into an azure dragon that stretched across the sky for hundreds of thousands of miles, disappearing into the endless wind and rain.
Taiwei watched the departing Cangdi with a smile on his face. With the troublesome True Dragon Royal Family resolved, the success rate of the Yin-Yang Sacred God's Mandate would increase by at least 20%.
The True Dragon Royal Family and the Qilin Royal Family are bound to experience intense clashes in the near future. At least until the matter concerning the Central Sacred Beast's Mandate is settled, the Qilin Royal Family will not have the time or inclination to confront the Yin-Yang Sacred God's Mandate of the Divine Path.
