117: Chapter 117 The Emperor's Support; The West Notices Something Abnormal

Human Emperor Xuanyuan abdicated and retired to the Holy Land of the Human Race to Cultivate, entrusting the rise and fall of the entire Human Race to the hands of Zhuanxu.

After Zhuanxu succeeded to the position of Common Sovereign of the Human Race, besides handling affairs, he spent his time Cultivating.

He wanted to achieve a Breakthrough to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm as soon as possible to implement the Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth.

While dealing with the affairs of the Human Race, Zhuanxu also discovered many areas within the Human Race that could be improved.

He realized that although Human Emperor Xuanyuan had unified the Human Race, most of the people still lived in small, gathered tribes; while their collective consciousness had improved, it was still insufficient.

Therefore, the first thing Zhuanxu did after ascending the throne was to divide the territory of the Human Race.

He formally divided the territory into the Nine Provinces: Ji, Yan, Qing, Xu, Yang, Jing, Yu, Liang, and Yong.

He defined clear boundaries for each province and established the position of Provincial Governor. Zhuanxu personally selected tribal leaders with upright Heart-Nature, effective administrative skills, and the deep trust of their clansmen to serve in these roles, overseeing civil affairs, agriculture, and security for each province, reporting directly to the Common Sovereign of the Human Race.

Having resolved the problem of scattered territories, Zhuanxu did not rest.

While inspecting the provinces, he discovered that the people relied entirely on experience for farming, and the seasonal order was chaotic, often causing them to miss the times for sowing and harvesting, leading to unstable food yields.

Therefore, to solve the food problem.

Zhuanxu observed the movement of the stars, sun, and moon at night, examined the alternation of the four seasons of cold and heat, and combined this with the farming experience of the Human Race to deduce the seasonal solar terms and create the "Zhuanxu Calendar."

He clarified the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, subdivided the solar terms, spread the calendar throughout the Nine Provinces, and taught the people to farm according to the seasons, allowing them to grasp the agricultural timing precisely. In just a few short years, the food reserves of the Human Race became increasingly abundant, and there was no longer any worry of famine.

Afterwards, he set about reorganizing the rites and music of the Human Race.

He established human relationships, created etiquette, clarified the order of ruler and subject, elder and younger, superior and inferior, and standardized the rites for marriage and funerals.

With the completion of each of these achievements, Zhuanxu's cultivation became stronger and stronger.

Soon, he reached the Perfection of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

On this day, Zhuanxu arrived at Duobao's residence.

At this time, Daoist Duobao was sitting quietly with his eyes closed. Seeing Zhuanxu arrive, he slowly opened his eyes, a knowing smile appearing on his plump face:

"Disciple, now that all matters of the Human Race are settled and your cultivation has reached the Perfection of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm, have you come to discuss the Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth?"

Zhuanxu bowed, his expression extremely solemn: "Master has the Wisdom Eye; that is indeed the case."

"Disciple will head to the Holy Land of the Human Race in a few days to ask for the Emperor's opinion on this matter. I hope Master can prepare early."

Duobao nodded upon hearing this: "Rest assured, Disciple. I already know the identities of all Cultivators at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm within the Mortal territories. Once you give the order, I will immediately drive them away or eliminate them."

After receiving the order from Tongtian, Duobao had already explained to Zhuanxu that he was willing to handle the Cultivators at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.

It would only gain him some extra Karma.

Hearing Duobao's words, Zhuanxu bowed respectfully to him: "Then thank you, Master."

After speaking, he did not stay any longer.

His figure moved, and he was surrounded by mysterious yellow Qi. He transformed into a pale golden stream of light, broke through the clouds, and sped towards the East Sea.

Under the guidance of the Luck of the Human Race, even though Three Immortals Island was hidden, Zhuanxu could accurately find the direction.

Several years later, Zhuanxu found Three Immortals Island hidden in the spatial interlayer.

Just as he arrived outside the space, a spatial rift opened.

Some Human Race Cultivators on the island had already sensed his arrival and were waiting early. They bowed together to Zhuanxu: "Greetings, Common Sovereign of the Human Race. The Emperor has been waiting in the center of the island for a long time."

Zhuanxu nodded slightly, his expression becoming more solemn. Guided by the Cultivators, he soon arrived in front of a pool.

He saw the Emperor Shi Yan sitting right above the pool. His Law was restrained, and his gaze was calm yet profound, as if he could see through everything in the world. Merely sitting there made people feel awe involuntarily.

Zhuanxu did not dare to be negligent. He immediately stepped forward a few paces, bowed to Shi Yan, and said in a deep voice:

"Junior Zhuanxu pays respects to the Emperor!"

Shi Yan waved his hand slowly, and a stream of magic power lifted Zhuanxu up: "Zhuanxu, no need for formalities. Rise."

Zhuanxu stood up, but still kept his head lowered in a respectful posture, waiting for Shi Yan's next words.

"I already know the matter you seek upon coming to Three Immortals Island this time."

Shi Yan spoke first, his gaze faint, having long seen through Zhuanxu's intentions, "I support the matter of Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth."

Hearing this, Zhuanxu's body trembled slightly. He looked up at Shi Yan, his eyes full of excitement, and prepared to bow and thank him again:

"Junior thanks the Emperor for granting this!"

"No need for formalities." Shi Yan raised his hand and pressed down gently, a gentle force stopping Zhuanxu's movement. "I will naturally support matters beneficial to the Human Race. You can go ahead and do it with confidence."

After speaking, Shi Yan sent a wisp of Primordial magic power containing the Law of Time and Space in front of him.

"This wisp of Primordial magic power can help you quickly achieve a Breakthrough to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm."

Zhuanxu took the wisp of magic power. Feeling the immense power contained within it, his heart trembled. Looking at Shi Yan, his gaze was firm. "Zhuanxu will certainly not fail the Emperor's trust."

Shi Yan nodded slightly, said no more, and the space and time around him intertwined, causing him to disappear before his eyes.

Zhuanxu turned and left the center of the island. He first went to Xuanyuan's dojo to catch up with his grandfather and grandmother for a while.

After taking enough Spiritual Fruits to raise his cultivation to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm, he left Three Immortals Island and returned to the Mortal territories.

He sped along the way, and it took several more years.

Upon returning to the Hall of the Co-Lord of the Human Race, Zhuanxu immediately issued an order, informing the Provincial Governors of the Nine Provinces that he would go into seclusion to impact the Grand Unity Golden Immortal Realm.

During the seclusion, all affairs inside and outside the Human Race were to be handed over to Shaohao to manage.

That's right, Shaohao was dragged over by Zhuanxu to be a laborer again.

Shaohao: "It's always me who gets hurt!!!"

After arranging everything properly, Zhuanxu turned and stepped into a blessed cave with rich Spiritual Qi.

He first took out the magic power given by Shi Yan and set up a time acceleration within the blessed cave.

He took out a large number of Spiritual Roots and Spiritual Fruits as a supplement to the Innate Spiritual Qi.

He took out a meditation cushion and began to Cultivate with a calm mind, perfecting his own Dao.

...

Meanwhile, at Mount Sumeru.

Inside the Western Sect, Buddha light shone everywhere, golden lotuses covered the ground, and Sanskrit sounds lingered in the mountains.

In the main hall of the Western Sect, Daoist Jieyin sat on a lotus throne, his aura restrained, his face compassionate, eyes closed as he contemplated the Dao of the West.

Beside him, Daoist Zhunti held the seven treasures tree, calculating the layout for the Western Sect to move eastward and absorb the Luck of the East.

The two were originally Cultivating and planning the general trend of the sect.

Suddenly, Daoist Zhunti's brows furrowed sharply, the movement of his calculation stopped abruptly, and a trace of shock and suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Daoist Jieyin also slowly opened his eyes, looked at Zhunti, and asked in confusion: "Junior Brother, why are you restless?"

Daoist Zhunti's expression was solemn. He pinched his fingers and calculated repeatedly several times, his tone sinking:

"Senior Brother, something is wrong!

Originally, within the territory of the Human Race, thousands of outer sect and Named Disciples of the Jie Sect were spread throughout the Nine Provinces of the Human Race, borrowing the incense of Mortals to absorb Luck,

But just now, I calculated, and all the Jie Sect Disciples have withdrawn from the territory of the Human Race, with not a single one remaining!"
