The Fifty-Ninth Heavenly Scheme to Transform Human Tribes

  In the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West saw the Kunpeng in the human world also having a very high prestige, even the Holy Mother Nüwa and the Supreme Old Lord couldn't surpass it. Thus, these two were extremely envious and involuntarily harbored the intention to seize the faith of the human world.

  Because of the pre-heavenly spiritual root peaches in the Heavenly Court, the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West recruited many scattered cultivators during the Honghuang era. In terms of power alone, they can rival the Zheng Jiao at its peak. The other three teachings are not comparable to them. The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West knew that they were not saints, so they hid their recruits in secret, without drawing the attention of the sages. With their powers established, their minds began to stir. Now, the human race is facing a test from the Heavenly Way. Although the Human Emperor Xuan Yuan has the support of the Xuan Jiao, he still lags behind Chi You, who has the support of the Witch tribe. If they can lend a hand at this time, they can establish the prestige of the Heavenly Court among humans and also improve relations with the Xuan Jiao.

  The Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West were both ambitious people, they did not want to lose sight of the bigger picture due to minor setbacks. Therefore, the troops they secretly recruited could not appear in front of the various saints, while the manpower they put on the surface was insufficient to help Huangdi Xuanyuan determine the overall situation, which made them feel somewhat embarrassed.

  From a long-term perspective, the gains of investing in one's own kind are great, but if this exposes one's true strength, it will attract the attention of the various saints, and they will face the calculations of the various saints, fearing that it will be difficult to have any further action.

  "After some thought, the Jade Emperor said: 'Jade Pool, although the human race is important, we cannot expose the hidden forces in the dark. They are our trump card against the saints in the future. If we reveal them too early, it will be difficult for us to escape the control of the saints. From my observation, the Human Emperor Xuan Yuan is a very proud person, and with the support of the Tianyi Sect behind him, even if we send troops to assist him, it's unlikely that we can gain anything. It would be better to just send one or two people to contact Xuan Yuan and make our position clear. At the time of the great war between Xuan Yuan and Chi You, with the power of the Heavenly Stars, we can lend him a helping hand. This way, we can establish the prestige of the Heavenly Court in the human world, while avoiding drawing the attention of the saints. What do you think? Is this plan feasible?"

  The Queen Mother heard the Jade Emperor's words and felt that the Jade Emperor's method was quite suitable for their current situation, so she said: "Hao Tian, your method is very good, but have you thought about who to use in terms of personnel?"

  The Jade Emperor smiled and said: "I have already thought it through, the Ninth Heaven's Mystical Lady is the most suitable candidate, what do you think?"

  The Queen Mother of the West was somewhat surprised and asked, "Although the Nine Heavens Xuannü has great magical powers, she is after all a female immortal, how can she bear such a heavy responsibility? Haotian, have you considered this carefully?"

  The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Yaochi, I don't think so. Don't forget that the Human Emperor Xuan Yuan is a man, while the Ninth Heaven's Mysterious Girl is a beautiful fairy. What do you think they will feel when they meet?"

  The Queen Mother of the West smiled and said, "Hao Tian, you want to use the Nine Heavens Xuan Nü's beauty trick on Huang Di? But don't forget that Huang Di has the support of the Xuanyuan Heavenly Masters, they won't let your plan succeed."

  The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "The human race established the Three Sovereigns, with Xuan Yuan in charge of killing and punishment. He is naturally a sovereign with his own views. Even if the Immortals of the Xuandao want to stop him, can they control Xuan Yuan's heart? Don't forget that the main reason why the Xuandao assisted Xuan Yuan was to gain the support of the Human Sovereign in spreading their teachings among humans. They will not conflict with Xuan Yuan over such a small matter, so we don't need to pay attention to the reaction of the Xuandao."

  The Queen Mother of the West said: "Although it is said that Xuan Yuan can be a human emperor, he has a very strong willpower, and I'm afraid even the Nine Heavens' Mysterious Maiden cannot do anything about it."

  The Jade Emperor said, "You're worrying too much about this. The reason I chose the Nine Heavens Mystical Lady is that she understands how to deploy troops and arrange battle formations, which is something that the Immortals of the Heavenly Gate are not good at. The struggle between Xuanyuan and Chiyou was mainly a fight among human soldiers; although high-level battles were also important, they weren't the main theme. Therefore, the Nine Heavens Mystical Lady is the most suitable candidate."

  The Queen Mother of the West said, "Yuanshi Tianzun is a narrow-minded person, and doing so might provoke his discontent."

  The Jade Emperor sighed, "Nothing is perfect, and even if the Primordial Heavenly Lord was dissatisfied, he shouldn't have taken action. Don't forget that our sect is currently at a disadvantage. What we're doing is helping him, although we've gained some benefits from it, but after all, the main credit still belongs to the Primordial Sect."

  The Queen of the West said: "Although it is so, I still have some misgivings."

  The Jade Emperor said: "We want to get rid of the control of all the saints, we must do so now, it is the best time for us to take action, and there may not be such an opportunity in the future."

  The Jade Emperor's intentions were good, but the outcome of events was beyond his expectations. Although Xuanmen ultimately defeated Chiyou, they did not gain much benefit from it. Instead, the Heavenly Court reaped all the benefits, which is why the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother of the West thoroughly offended Yuanshi Tianzun. This is also why during the Investiture of the Gods, Xuanmen put the Jade Emperor's daughter, Longji Gongzhu, on the list of those to be deified.

  The Queen Mother of the West sighed: "If the Heavenly Court does not send troops, I'm afraid it will be difficult to break Chi You's 'Mysterious Yin Array' even with the power of our sect."

  The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "Chi You's 'Xuanyin Great Array' is evolved from the Shu tribe's 'Twelve Heavenly Gods' array. Although its power is great, it also has its weaknesses. This array is completely based on the external heavenly demons, as long as there is a pre-heavenly pure yang energy or a spiritual treasure that targets the soul, it can seal and restrain this array."

  The Queen Mother sighed: "The pre-heavenly pure yang energy is beneficial for cultivation, even if someone obtains it, they will use it up themselves. As for the pre-heavenly spiritual treasures like the soul, they are even rarer."

  The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "You're worrying too much. Since I've said it, of course, there's a way to restrain Chi You's 'Mysterious Yin Great Array'. It's not that difficult to obtain the pre-heavenly pure yang energy either. It depends on whether Tian Jiao has the skills or not. When the demon clan was in charge of the heavenly court, there was a plant called 'Fusang Tree' where the Ten Golden Crows lived, which had the most authentic pre-heavenly pure yang energy. However, after the Great War between the Wizards and Demons, it disappeared without a trace. I don't know who got their hands on it. If Tian Jiao can get this tree in hand, then the 'Mysterious Yin Great Array' won't be that scary."

  The Queen of the West said: "The 'Fusang Tree' has been lost for so long, it's probably very difficult to find this thing even with a thorough search."

  The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "That's not a problem either. Without the 'Fusang Tree', we can use the skin of the spiritual beast 'Qiu Niu' to make a big drum as a substitute. Although its power is slightly smaller, with our coordination of the 'Zhou Tian Xing Dou' force, Chi You's 'Xuan Yin Great Array' will also be difficult to maintain."

  The Jade Emperor thought that his plan was flawless, so he sent the Ninth Heaven's Mystical Lady down to earth to assist Huangdi Xianyuan.

  The Jade Emperor's every move fell into the eyes of all the saints, and Yuanshi Tianzun never thought that the Heavenly Court, which he had always looked down upon, would also dare to take action and compete with him for this human emperor's merit. This made him very angry, but his disciples were not worthy of him, and they did not have any achievements in the human world. In desperation, he could only seek help from Taishang Laojun.

  The Supreme Elder Lord saw the arrival of the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign, and in his heart, he was also somewhat helpless. However, he also knew that the Primordial Heavenly Sovereign's willingness to offer assistance at his doorstep meant that he had reached a dead end, with no other options left.

  Seeing the Supreme Elder Lord, Yuanshi Tianzun said: "The Great Master has made you laugh, and the disciples under his door are not worthy of him. Although he obtained the position of Human Emperor's Master, he had no achievements to speak of, and was defeated by Chiyou three times in a row. In desperation, I can only seek your help."

  The Supreme Elder said, "Your words are too serious, the dispute between Huangdi and Chiyou is a major trend of the Heavenly Way, and it is also a test for the human race by the Heavenly Way. It's not that your disciples are to blame for their defeat, but the Witch tribe has been fighting for survival, and those few powerful witches who support Chiyou have all experienced the Great Witch War, with rich combat experience. Your disciples, although their cultivation is not weak, and they have spiritual treasures on them, but compared to the great witches, they are far inferior. Even among our Three Pure Ones, only a few of Tongtian's disciples can match up to them."

  Yuanshi Tianzun sighed and said, "Elder brother's words are indeed correct. However, if Xuanyuan doesn't achieve anything else as the Human Emperor, it will be difficult for him to keep his position."

  Taishang Laojun said: "Xuanyuan is too hasty in his dealings, and without fully grasping the human tribe, he makes a big fuss. How can he win over the people? At present, the living standard of the human tribe is much lower than that during the reign of Shennong. If this situation does not change, even if Xuanyuan can defeat Chiyou, it will be difficult for him to gain the hearts of the people."

  Yuanshi Tianzun asked: "According to your intention, great senior brother, what is the best course of action?"

  The Supreme Elder said: "Heavenly Emperor Fuxi has the demonic master Kunpeng assisting him, and also has the Pre-Heaven Spiritual Treasure Fuxi's Zither suppressing the Qi of Destiny, so he can stably attain the Dao. As for Earthly Emperor Shennong, he is the one with the greatest merit among the Three Emperors, and also has the demonic master Kunpeng assisting him, as well as the Post-Heaven Meritorious Treasure 'Shennong Ding' suppressing the Qi of Destiny. Last time, when the demonic master Kunpeng spoke to Xuanyuan, although his words were a bit unpleasant, they were good intentions, but unfortunately Xuanyuan did not understand and missed the great opportunity. Now, I can only bestow one Spiritual Treasure upon Xuanyuan to suppress his Qi of Destiny. As Xuanyuan is the Human Emperor who governs with killing and punishment, this treasure should be a precious sword. I took copper from the First Mountain and refined it into a Post-Heaven Meritorious Treasure, which will be given to Xuanyuan by Xuantu."

  Yuanshi Tianzun hastily said: "Thank you, Big Brother Master, for your help."

  The Supreme Elder Lord said: "I am the master who teaches people, and the affairs of human beings are also my business."
