47: Chapter 47 Brothers Arguing Again, Fuxi's Reincarnation
As the Flat Peaches were set upon the tables one by one, Haotian was just about to rise and speak a few words, hoping to recruit immortals and gods to boost the Luck of the Heavenly Court.
Yuanshi Tianzun, sensing the Karmic Obstruction of the Seven Attendant Immortals, looked at the Tongtian Sect Leader beside him and initiated the confrontation.
"They are nothing but wet-born, egg-hatched, scaled, and feathered creatures entangled in Karmic Obstruction. Tongtian, how could you have the gall to bring them here and sully the Flat Peach Banquet?"
Tongtian frowned upon hearing this. He then swept his gaze over the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, and seeing the differential treatment between Guangchengzi and Master Huanglong, he retorted directly.
"That is still better than your Chan Sect, which is hypocritical, ostracizes fellow Disciples, and is sanctimonious!"
"How dare you insult my Chan Sect!" Yuanshi slammed his table and stood up, his Saintly Might erupting suddenly.
"You insulted my Jie Sect first!" Tongtian also rose to confront him. The two Senior Brothers stood in a standoff right there, completely ignoring everyone else in the venue.
Haotian stood at the head of the table, his Dao body trembling, his heart filled with coldness and bitterness.
Although he was the Supreme of the Heavenly Court appointed by the Dao Ancestor, in the eyes of these Saints, he did not even have a shred of Face.
The grand event he had painstakingly organized was, in their eyes, merely a venue for casual squabbling. From beginning to end, no one had truly taken him, the Heavenly Emperor, seriously.
Yaochi gently tugged on his sleeve, signaling him to calm down.
Haotian could only forcefully suppress the anger in his heart and reluctantly spoke to mediate: "The two Saints, please calm your anger. Today is the Flat Peach Banquet, and all spirits are present..."
Before he could finish his sentence, his voice was directly drowned out by the aftershocks of their Saintly Might, leaving him with no Face whatsoever.
Taiqing, seated at the head, sighed helplessly. It was like this again; whenever these two brothers got together, they would quarrel.
But in order to uphold the dignity of the Saints, he still spoke: "Quiet."
This single word, carrying the authority of the Eldest Brother, instantly suppressed Yuanshi and Tongtian.
The surging auras around Yuanshi Tianzun and the Tongtian Sect Leader suddenly froze, as if pressed down by an invisible giant hand. The sound of their arguing came to an abrupt halt. The two glared at each other, but could no longer make a sound.
The entire venue fell into deathly silence.
Haotian stood frozen in place, a mix of complex emotions in his heart. He had exhausted his efforts, yet he could not even get a single word of mediation across.
Taiqing had suppressed two great Saints with just a single word. This was the gap, and even more so, the powerlessness of him as the Heavenly Emperor.
Haotian made a firm resolution in his heart: he must make a Breakthrough to become a Saint. Only by becoming a Saint would he have the right to speak, be able to uphold the dignity of the Heavenly Court, and not fail the Dao Ancestor's instructions.
Zhunti and Jieyin exchanged a glance and also reined in their auras somewhat, quietly continuing to lead their Disciples in burying their heads to eat spiritual fruits, Flat Peaches, and dragon livers and phoenix marrow.
They would eat a bite, toss it into the human-kind bag, and then continue having the immortal maidens serve more dishes.
With that single "Quiet" from Taiqing, the Flat Peach Banquet lost the liveliness it had at the beginning and instead fell into a state of silent stillness.
For a time, within the Yaochi, only the faint sounds of cups and plates clinking and immortal officials walking about remained, with no further ripples.
Time flowed slowly, and this Flat Peach Banquet quietly drew to a close amidst this eerie calm.
Haotian and Yaochi watched The Six Sages depart. They then looked at the few spirits in the venue who were willing to join the Heavenly Court, their fists clenched tightly. The determination in their hearts to attain the Saintly Dao Fruit grew ever firmer.
If he possessed the cultivation of a Saint, who would dare not take him seriously? How could there be so few living beings joining the Heavenly Court?
With the conclusion of the Flat Peach Banquet, another two Yuan eras passed. Fuxi had also spent three full Yuan eras in the Netherworld, and the day of his Reincarnation had arrived.
Inside Wahuang Heaven, Nüwa opened her eyes from the lotus throne. Sensing the severing of the karmic thread between her and her brother Fuxi, a smile finally appeared on her Face. "He kept his promise."
At the same time, in the territory of the Human Race on the Coast of the East Sea, a woman was traveling through Leize when, in an instant, rosy clouds wrapped around her body and spiritual essence entered her womb. She became pregnant upon feeling this. This woman was Fuxi's mother, Huaxu Shi.
After Huaxu Shi became pregnant, the Three Ancestors simultaneously sensed a rise in the Luck of the Human Race. Ancestor Sui Ren looked at the other two ancestors and said: "Fuxi has reincarnated." Ancestor Youchao sighed: "It has come after all." Ancestor Ziyi said: "I just don't know who will be Fuxi's teacher."
The greatest obstacle for the Three Ancestors in extending the progress of Fuxi's Perfection of Karma was the teacher who would assist Fuxi in becoming the Heavenly Sovereign.
If it were a Disciple of the four sects, the Three Ancestors would find it easy to deceive them. The Human Sect only had one Disciple, Xuandu. As a member of the Human Race, they only needed to use righteousness and have him do more Alchemy and Artifact Refining to improve the strength of the Human Race, and they could delay things.
The Chan Sect was arrogant and completely looked down upon Mortals; they only needed to use the excuse that the foot speed of Mortals was insufficient to quickly spread Fuxi's achievements, and they could delay for a long time.
The Core Disciples of the Jie Sect had a relatively good relationship with the Human Race. Well, it would also be easy for the three Human Ancestors to make up some excuse to brush them off and drag things out repeatedly.
As for the Disciples of the Western Sect, they were actually the easiest; as long as they were given some resources, they could be distracted.
Just as the Three Ancestors were pondering, Nüwa's voice entered their ears. "Fuxi is born into the Human Race and is the Heavenly Sovereign destined for the Human Race. You shall personally teach him the affairs of the Human Race and assist Fuxi in becoming the Heavenly Sovereign."
Upon hearing this, the Three Ancestors hurriedly bowed and replied in unison: "We obey the decree of Nüwa!"
Nüwa's voice faded away, and a strange smile appeared on the Faces of the Three Ancestors simultaneously. "Hehehe!" "Thank you... Nüwa! Just as we were feeling sleepy, a pillow was sent."
They had originally been worrying about how to delay the matter of the Heavenly Sovereign. Now that they had become the teachers of the Heavenly Sovereign, couldn't they delay as long as they wanted? They then transformed into three streams of light and flew toward the place where the Luck was manifesting.
In Nüwa Palace, Nüwa watched the Three Ancestors "impatiently" rushing toward the location of Fuxi's mother. She nodded with satisfaction. "I leave my brother to you all!"
Nüwa entrusted the role of the Heavenly Sovereign's teacher to the Three Ancestors, not only because she had no Disciples under her name, but also to increase her prestige within the Human Race.
Although she permanently occupied a portion of the Human Race's Luck, she wanted more. After all, the Realm of Quasi-Saint and the position of Saint indicated that The Six Sages of the Heavenly Dao could not increase their strength through Cultivation. They could only exchange Karma and Luck for authority from the Heavenly Dao.
Nüwa had no Saintly allies, so in order to protect her own interests, she had to constantly obtain large amounts of Karma from the Primordial World.
The Three Ancestors were very fast, and within a few breaths, they arrived at the tribe where Huaxu Shi was located. At this moment, within the tribe, Huaxu Shi was playing by the riverside.
Three streams of light landed with a boom, appearing before Huaxu Shi. Upon seeing the Three Ancestors and feeling the suppression of her Bloodline, Huaxu Shi hurriedly stood up and respectfully said: "Junior Huaxu greets the three Human Ancestors."
"Ancestor Sui Ren." "Ancestor Youchao." "Ancestor Ziyi." The Three Ancestors also introduced themselves, then cast a stream of magical power to help Huaxu Shi up.
Huaxu Shi was steadily lifted by a gentle force. Hearing that the three people before her were the Three Ancestors of Human civilization, her heart was filled with surprise and respect!
"Three Ancestors, what business do you have with me?"
Huaxu Shi could not imagine how, as merely an Acquired clansman with a cultivation of only a Golden Immortal, she could have the honor of meeting the Three Ancestors.
Ancestor Sui Ren explained: "We have come for the great sage of the Human Race you are carrying in your womb."
Silence! "Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Huaxu Shi said, emotionally agitated. "I haven't even touched a man, how could I be pregnant?"
