Chapter 130: The Peach Conference and the Abdication of the Human Emperor

  Wuji and the various saints attended Fu Xi's certification ceremony, but they didn't stay long and returned to their respective Daoist temples. However, not long after, they were interrupted by an invitation from the Heavenly Court, which was preparing to hold a Peach Conference 100 years later, hoping that Wuji and the other saints could come and assist.

  Wuji cultivated on Penglai Xian Island for a hundred years before heading to the Heavenly Court under the leadership of Feng Qiu's four daughters. Wuji's trip to the Heavenly Court this time can be said to have set up an array, and this gathering in the Heavenly Court is an opportunity for the Heavenly Court to recruit scattered cultivators and gather the hearts of the people in the Heavenly Court. At the same time, it is also an opportunity for the Heavenly Court to borrow from the various saints to demonstrate its own orthodoxy. As the Purple Micro Great Emperor of the Heavenly Court at this time, Wuji naturally needs to make a contribution to the Heavenly Court, after all, the position of the Heavenly Emperor of the Vast Heaven still has Wuji's credit.

  Wuji went to the Heavenly Court, and it can be said that the purple energy of three thousand miles appeared in the sky with strange phenomena, just like the departure of a sage. Many powerful beings from Hongyuan who were already waiting in the Heavenly Court, except for Haotian, were shocked by Wuji's mighty power, and even Minghe Old Ancestor, who was originally known as the strongest among the sages, was also shaken.

  Compared to those newly-born cultivators, although their cultivation is still decent, they can't compare with the old-timers in terms of experience. They don't understand what the strange phenomenon behind Wuji represents, but they clearly know that when facing Wuji at this moment, they suddenly have an ant-like feeling, as if they could be easily swatted to death like ants at any time.

  Minghe Old Ancestor, Zhenyuanzi, and Yao Shi Kunpeng, among other old quasi-saints, looked at Wuji's formation with envy. They had come to realize that Wuji had taken the final step they had always dreamed of, reaching a realm comparable to that of a saint, the Hunyuan Golden Immortal Realm, and his strength was not inferior to that of a saint.

  Thereafter, Haotian as the host led many cultivators who had arrived at the Heavenly Court to pay their respects to Wuji. At this time, regardless of which faction or power you were from, what kind of strength you possessed, and what attitude you held towards Wuji, everyone voluntarily paid their respects to Wuji after witnessing his demeanor.

  It's just some ignorant young people who don't know any better. At this moment, everyone in the scene is bowing to Wuji, although they're not sure why, but they still follow the crowd and bow to Wuji. Even old-timers like Minghe Old Ancestor, Zhenyuanzi, and Kunpeng Old Ancestor are respectfully bowing their heads to Wuji.

  Later, Wuji was arranged by Haotian to the last seat of the seven seats above Haotian, which made people wonder. At this time, everyone couldn't help but think that Haotian had already seen through Wuji's cultivation, and it seemed that Haotian's cultivation was not very good. However, as a junior of Hongyuan Daozu, he knew many secrets. In the future, it's better not to offend Haotian easily.

  Wuji had not been seated for long when Nüwa arrived, and the crowd followed Wuji and Haotian in paying their respects to her. Nüwa also returned Wuji's courtesy, and then began chatting with him, sitting on the seven highest seats talking about heaven. Later, the Western Pure Saint and the Accurate Saint arrived one after another.

  Before the strange phenomenon of the two Western saints disappeared, in the direction of Golden Turtle Island in the Eastern Sea and Mount Kunlun, a great omen of the saints' arrival appeared one after another. Everyone understood that it was the Tianyi Zhenren (True Person of Heavenly Unity) and Yuanshi Tianzun (Heavenly Master of Primordial Beginning), the two saints who had come. Everyone went to welcome and pay their respects.

  Then came the first strong man among all saints, the eldest brother of all saints, Taishang Shengren. The saintly power displayed by him was much stronger than that of other saints and the extraordinary phenomenon of the universe caused by Yuji and others. Among them, Minghe Laozu, Zhenyuanzi, Kunpeng and other old saints found that when all saints and Yuji went out, they brought about extraordinary phenomena in the universe. Taishang Shengren was the strongest, followed by Yuan Shi Tianzun, Tongtian Jiaozhu, Jieyin Shengren, Yuji Tianzun, and finally Nüwa Niangniang and Zhunti Shengren. The three of them couldn't help but wonder if Yuji Tianzun's strength had already reached the second level among all saints, surpassing that of Zhunti Shengren and Nüwa Niangniang.

  Then all the saints and Wuji started talking to each other. In the vast heaven, the Queen Mother of the West announced that the Peach Conference had officially begun. The Vast Heaven said: "Fellow Taoist friends, this time I am hosting the Peach Conference, as it has been tens of thousands of years since we last gathered in the Heavenly Court. This time, I am taking the opportunity of the Peach Conference to reunite with all of you."

  "Today is the birthday of Queen Mother of the West, and I hope you will all pay your respects to her. Let us enjoy ourselves together." The saints who were chatting with each other immediately stopped. The harmonious atmosphere of the meeting suddenly became strange. Wuji could clearly feel the suppressed anger of the saints around him, but he understood their feelings, after all, he himself was the same. How could they be asked to celebrate the birthday of an ant, wasn't this a slap in the face?

  The Yuanshi Tianzun, who was most concerned about the face, spoke first: "Heavenly Emperor, forgive me, I still have some unfinished business in my Taoist temple, so I will take my leave first." Although Yuanshi Tianzun did not get angry, the people present clearly felt his suppressed anger. As Yuanshi Tianzun left, Tongtian Jiao Zu, Jieyin Shengren, Zhunti Shengren, Nüwa Niangniang, and others took their leave one after another.

  The Supreme Saint still slightly considered the face of Emperor Huáng Tiān and said: "Your Majesty, I still have some elixirs that haven't been fired yet, I need to go and deal with them." The Supreme Saint also left. Wújí saw that Emperor Huáng Tiān's face had become extremely ugly due to the departure of the saints, already at the edge of anger.

  Wuji suddenly felt a little pitiful for Huangtian, knowing that the various saints were not someone he could easily provoke. Yet, he still dared to plot against them, letting Wuji and the saints celebrate the birthday of the Queen Mother of the West. Although Wuji was furious, he still said to Huangtian, "Huangtian fellow Daoist, I am the Purple Micro Great Emperor, but I have not yet gone to my own palace. I will take my leave first." At the same time, he transmitted a message to Huangtian, "Huangtian fellow Daoist, we are not people you can plot against. You should be careful for your own sake."

  Wuji finished speaking and led the four women to the Purple Palace in the Purple Micro Star. Haotian was originally angry and stifled because the saints did not give him face, but with Wuji's transmission, it was as if he had been splashed with cold water, from head to toe. In an instant, he woke up, only to find that he had been blinded by the power of the Heavenly Court and had actually plotted against the saint.

  Not only did Haotian wake up, but also the Jade Pool Holy Mother sitting next to him was shocked by his previous words. At this time, she woke up and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The Jade Pool Holy Mother said: "Haotian, can you discuss things before doing them? Do you know that your behavior just now will bring us deadly trouble? You don't care, you have the Hongyuan Daozu as your backing, what about me?" After finishing speaking, the Jade Pool Holy Mother left in a huff.

  As the Queen Mother of the West left, the people who had been doing the Underworld River Old Ancestor, Zhenyuanzi and others also left one after another. The scene was only left with the Heavenly Court's people in the Kunlun Mountains and some Daluo Golden Immortals. When the Heavenly Emperor saw that most of the powerful beings of the Primordial Chaos had already left, he felt that there was nothing more to be aware of, so he let Taibai Jinxiu host the Peach Banquet, and then he also left.

  From then on, the Peach Festival was not a happy ending. Wuji led the four women to the Purple Palace of the Purple Micro Star. After observing everything about the Purple Micro Star, Wuji began to retreat and cultivate.

  The extreme closed-door cultivation is not mentioned, but since Fuxi, the Human Emperor, proved the way and hid in Huoyun Palace, Fuxi handed over the position of co-master of humanity to Shaohao, a descendant of Xuanyuan. Shaohao established institutional standards. His tribal settings had specialized officials responsible for observing changes in celestial phenomena, including Lìzhèng, Sīfēn, Sīzhì, Sīqǐ, and Sīmén, totaling five. He introduced these to other tribes and created the twelve-year cycle of Jupiter and a new calendar system with twelve months per year by measuring celestial bodies, making it convenient for recording time.

  At this time, the Human Emperor was because the previous three emperors had some mistakes in the later period, and if the Human Emperor cultivated, it would be impossible to put all his heart into governing the human race. Therefore, the Holy One of Humanity decreed that from now on, no Human Emperor could cultivate the Tao.

  With the help of his teacher, Yu Ding Zhen Ren, Shaohao extended his life for a thousand years. After a thousand years, Shaohao passed on the throne to Zhuanxu and followed Yu Ding Zhen Ren to Huoyun Cave. Zhuanxu was intelligent from childhood and had always admired his ancestor Huangdi Xianyuan, hoping to establish great achievements.

  Zhuanxu, under the guidance of Huang Tian, gained recognition from Shaohao in all aspects. After Zhuanxu ascended to the throne, he established various systems and educated the people. However, the Jiuli tribe had already converted to worshiping Wujitian Zun after the war between Xiang Liu and Chi You, so they did not follow Tian Ting as Zhuanxu had hoped.

  Jiufeng, as a member of the Wu tribe, originally had a bad reputation in the Jiuli tribe after the war for hegemony. However, he didn't mind and continued to help the Jiuli tribe at all times. After tens of thousands of years, Jiufeng finally gained enough prestige in the Jiuli tribe and was accepted by them, jointly promoting him as the leader of the Jiuli tribe.

  After the fall of Zhuanxu, the Jiuli tribe was finally moved by the actions of the nine phoenixes over tens of thousands of years and jointly promoted the nine phoenixes as their leader. Although they surrendered to the human tribe, they refused to give up their own beliefs. Originally, the human tribes believed in different things, so there was no conflict. However, with the rule of Zhuanxu that humans must believe in the Heavenly Court, for a time, the relationship between the two tribes became very stiff.

  But on this day, Zhuanxu was worried about this matter outside. Suddenly, a fiery red light flew in from afar, and as it approached, a Taoist song came: "First there is Hongjun, then there is Heaven, Lüzu is even earlier, until now only eighteen years old, one chaos is one year."

  As soon as the words fell, a Taoist fell from the air, and this move caught the attention of Zhuanxu and Taibai Jinxian in the house.

  Originally, Haotian arranged for Taibai Jinxian to assist Zhuanxu after finishing his teachings. Taibai Jinxian and Zhuanxu walked out of the house, sizing up the Daoist in front of them, who wore a fish-tail crown on his head, a large red robe on his body, had an unusual face, whiskers under his chin, and a large red calabaza hanging from his waist.

  Listening to this person's Daoist song is extraordinary, and it can't be seen that this person has cultivated himself. Knowing that he is not ordinary, I went forward and bowed: "Brother, please, I don't know which place you are from? Which immortal mountain did you receive blessings from, and where is your cave dwelling?"

  The Taoist smiled and said: "I am Lü Dongbin, a carefree wanderer of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, roaming the four seas, just an idle person."

  Tai Bai Jin Xian didn't dare to underestimate him, and even dared to say that he was born earlier than Hong Jun. He thought there were only a few people in the world like this, but what he didn't know was that he had been deceived by Lu Ya's Dao Song.

  Lu Ye was originally the tenth son of the demon tribe. At that time, when Hou Yi shot the sun, he was rescued by Emperor Jun and rushed to save a life, bringing him back to the Heavenly Court. Taiyi used the yellow gourd skin obtained from Buzhou Mountain in those years, mixed with the essence of Kuafu's great witchcraft, and his own and Emperor Jun's, Xihes' each one's innate essence to refine an extraordinary treasure.

  After the treasure was refined, it was given to Lu Ya as a protective device. Lu Ya gave it a name, called Zhan Xian Fei Dao, and also handed over some secret techniques from the Heavenly Court and the evil secret techniques of the Wu tribe's Ding Tou Qi Jian Shu to Lu Ya.

  Tai Bai Jin Xian couldn't see Lu Ya's cultivation because firstly, Lu Ya possessed a secret technique, and secondly, Lu Ya's Da Luo Jin Xian cultivation far surpassed Tai Bai Jin Xian's Tai Yi Jin Xian cultivation.
