Chapter 91 Fuxi's merits are complete, and Xuan Chu descends upon the Human Race's Holy Te
Chapter 61: Fuxi's Merits are Completed, and Xuan Chu Descends to the Sacred Temple of Humanity
After obtaining the Hetu and Luoshu, Fuxi began to seclude himself to develop methods for predicting celestial secrets and distinguishing good and bad fortune for the human race.
Ten years later, Fuxi finally made his progress, and he began to inscribe the Eight Trigrams he had comprehended on the ground.
By observing the principles of creation of heaven and earth and the mechanism of the movement of the sun and moon, Fuxi used the eight trigrams (乾、坤、震、巽、坎、离、艮、兑) to expound the ultimate principles of heaven and earth.
The eight trigrams Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, and Dui correspond to eight natural phenomena: heaven, earth, wind, thunder, water, fire, mountain, and marsh.
For this reason, the Eight Trigrams can explain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, help humankind deduce the secrets of heaven, seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and foresee the arrival of natural disasters and man-made calamities.
After Fuxi comprehended the Eight Trigrams, he immediately summoned all the human tribes and taught them the Way of the Eight Trigrams. With the Way of the Eight Trigrams, the human race made great progress in predicting natural disasters and man-made calamities, and was able to make preparations in advance, which greatly reduced casualties.
The Way of the Eight Trigrams is widely spread among humans, but not every human can learn it. One needs a certain talent for the Way of Yin and Yang. It is rare to find even one in ten thousand humans. Therefore, those who can master the Way of the Eight Trigrams are generally revered as priests by their respective tribes, and their status is no less than that of the tribal chief.
The emergence of the Eight Trigrams led to a continuous rise in Fuxi's prestige among the human race, directly surpassing the three ancestors of the human race and making him the most prestigious figure among them. The fortune of the entire human race also began to converge on Fuxi.
When Fuxi's fortune reached its peak, the Pangu Palace was illuminated by the light emanating from the Kongtong Seal. Upon seeing this, Xuan Chu exclaimed, "Fuxi has performed the Eight Trigrams; the Human Emperor has returned to his throne!"
In the Eight Views Palace on Shouyang Mountain, Taishang also sensed the change in the human race's fortune. Upon learning that Fuxi was about to become the Human Emperor, he hurriedly transmitted his voice to Xuandu, saying, "Xuandu, Fuxi's merits are complete, and it is time for him to become the Human Emperor. Quickly take Fuxi to the Human Race's Holy Temple."
Since taking Fuxi as his disciple, Xuandu has been living in the Fenggun tribe, so that Fuxi can ask him for help at any time.
Upon receiving the message from the Supreme Lord, Xuandu immediately went to Fuxi's residence.
"Teacher, what brings you here today?" Fuxi was also surprised to see Xuandu. Usually, he was the one who went to find Xuandu, and Xuandu almost never took the initiative to find him.
"Fuxi, your grandmaster has sent you a message that you have achieved perfect merit. Immediately go to the Holy Temple of the Human Race to attain the position of Human Emperor," Xuandu said.
"Teacher, is there such a rush? I feel there are still many things to do." Fuxi said. Although the human race already possesses the ability to predict the secrets of heaven and avoid misfortune, there are still many things that the human race has not yet solved.
"Fuxi, your merits are complete. Do not hesitate. Each generation has its own mission. The human race will experience the reigns of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. You are just one of them. Moreover, your abilities and energy are limited. It is impossible for you to solve all the problems of the human race. Rather than wasting time, you should seize the opportunity to become the Human Emperor. Those problems can be left to the next ruler of the human race to solve." Xuandu said. He was joking. He had waited for so many years and finally waited for Fuxi to become the Human Emperor. How could he let Fuxi continue to waste time?
"Yes, teacher," Fuxi said. Xuandu was right. Each generation has its own mission. His mission was complete, and the rest should be left to those who come after him.
"Excellent!" Xuan Du nodded in satisfaction and smiled.
Xuandu led Fuxi into the Human Race Holy Temple. The three ancestors of the Human Race, who had long been stationed at the Holy Temple, had already received a notification from Nuwa and were waiting in advance.
"Greetings, Lord! Greetings, Grand Master Xuandu!" The three ancestors of the human race greeted Fuxi and Xuandu.
"Greetings, three patriarchs." Facing the three ancestors of the human race, Xuandu and Fuxi hurriedly returned the greeting. Although Xuandu was the chief disciple of the Human Sect and Fuxi was the common ruler of the human race, they were still the juniors of the three ancestors of the human race. Moreover, the three ancestors of the human race were all quasi-saints, and their realms were far above Xuandu and Fuxi. How could they accept the greetings from the three ancestors of the human race?
"Lord Fuxi, we have received the Holy Mother's message and are here to greet you. Congratulations to Lord Fuxi on your perfect merits and attainment of the Human Emperor's throne. This is truly a cause for celebration." Suiren said with a smile. With the Human Emperor's return to the throne, the human race will prosper. Their long-cherished wish is finally about to be fulfilled.
"Thank you for your trouble, three venerable ancestors," Fuxi said, bowing.
At this moment, a purple aura appeared in the east, stretching for ninety thousand miles, and Taishang and Nuwa descended simultaneously.
"Greetings to the Holy Mother and the Supreme Sage. May the Holy Mother and the Supreme Sage enjoy boundless longevity." The crowd bowed to the Supreme Sage and Nuwa.
"Get up, all of you!" Nuwa said with a smile, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Fuxi. This was her brother, after all. It was just a pity that Fuxi had not yet regained his memories of his past life. At this moment, Fuxi's eyes held only respect for Nuwa.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, I didn't expect you to come too," Taishang said to Nuwa with a smile.
"Senior Brother Tai Shang, you flatter me. Fuxi and Nuwa have a very close relationship. Moreover, as the Holy Mother of the Human Race, Nuwa could not possibly be absent from such a momentous event as the return of the Human Emperor to the throne."
"Junior Sister is absolutely right. Now we just have to wait for Daoist Xuan Chu to descend and use the Kongtong Seal to bestow the Human Emperor's fortune upon Fuxi," Tai Shang said. It would be useless for them to come; they still had to wait for Xuan Chu, since the Kongtong Seal, which could bestow the Human Emperor's fortune, was in Xuan Chu's hands.
"Senior Brother Taishang, do you think Daoist Xuanchu will come?" Nuwa was a little worried when Xuanchu was mentioned. After all, they were enemies with Xuanchu, and Fuxi was Nuwa's brother. What kind of trouble might Xuanchu cause?
"Junior Sister Nuwa is overthinking it," Taishang said. "Xuan Chu Daozun is a great supernatural being of the same level as our teacher, so how could he possibly hold a grudge against us? Besides, Fuxi's attainment of the Dao and becoming the Human Emperor was agreed upon by our teacher and Xuan Chu Daozun. Daozun would never go back on his word on such matters."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xuan Chu appeared above the human race's holy temple.
"Taishang (Nuwa) greets Xuan Chu Dao Zun!" Upon seeing Xuan Chu arrive, Taishang and Nuwa hurriedly bowed. Although they were on opposing sides, Xuan Chu's opponents had never been the Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao. Therefore, Xuan Chu had to be treated as if he were Hongjun. This was the rule of the prehistoric world.
"Greetings, Daoist Master Xuan Chu!" Tai Shang and Nuwa bowed, and the humans below naturally followed suit.
"You...you are Changsheng's brother?" Suiren in the human race's holy temple recognized Xuan Chu immediately. Although they hadn't seen each other for many years, Xuan Chu's appearance hadn't changed. In addition, their friendship was deep, so how could Suiren not recognize Xuan Chu?
"Hehehe!" Seeing that Suiren recognized him, Xuan Chu smiled and said, "Brother Suiren, how have you been?" Xuan Chu was very happy to see his old friend. Thinking back, the days he spent with the human race were probably the happiest days of his life.
"Suiren dares not. Suiren is merely a human; how could he dare to address the Daoist as a brother?" After learning Xuan Chu's identity, how could Suiren dare to address Xuan Chu as a brother? Didn't you see? Taishang and Nuwa were nothing more than small fry in front of Xuan Chu.
"What is there to be afraid of? I am not a pedantic person. I do not care about formalities. In the future, I will still be your Changsheng brother, and you will still be my Suiren brother. Everything will be just like it was on the shore of the East Sea back then," Xuan Chu said, waving his hand.
"Daoist Venerable, it's getting late. Shouldn't we let Fuxi attain the Dao and become the Human Emperor first?" At this moment, Taishang reluctantly interrupted Xuan Chu and Suiren's conversation. If they continued to reminisce, who knew how long it would take?
"Hmm!" Displeased that their reminiscing had been abruptly interrupted, Xuan Chu looked at Taishang and said, "Taishang, are you very impatient?"
"I dare not!" Seeing that Xuan Chu was angry, Tai Shang hurriedly explained, "It is just that proving oneself to become the Human Emperor is a major event in the primordial world. In order to avoid delaying the time, I had no choice but to interrupt Dao Venerable. I hope Dao Venerable will forgive me."
"I know you wouldn't dare, but for the sake of Brother Pangu, I will let it go today. Let's begin," Xuan Chu said.
