Chapter 54

Since Fuxi attained the Dao, he has been cultivating the Dao with Feng Ye in the Huoyun Cave. Originally, there weren't many people in the Huoyun Cave; counting Feng Zhong and Fuxi, there were only three people. If you include the white deer and the dragon horse, there were only five in total.

Now, although Fuxi has the power of a Great Law, his status is equal to that of a Sage, and he has the cultivation experience of a Quasi-Sage from his previous life. Feng Ye has benefited greatly from cultivating with him, at least far more conveniently than trying to figure things out on his own.

After Fuxi attained the Dao as the Heavenly Emperor, many immortals and deities came to congratulate him. Through this, Feng Ye also got to know many people, broadening his horizons. After all, these great beings who were Fuxi's peers were also top figures in the primordial chaos. However, after the congratulations ended, the Huoyun Cave returned to its peaceful state.

One day, Fuxi and Feng Ye were playing the "He-Lo Chess." Suddenly, the young boy Yaoyang came in to report, "Reporting to the two lords, Great Master Xuandu from the Eight Scenic Palaces requests to see Lord Fuxi!"

He-Lo Chess is a board game invented by Fuxi and Feng Ye in their spare time. Based on the He Map and the Lo Book, it is divided into two sides: one side represents the He Map, symbolizing the chaos of the beginning and end of all things; the other side represents the Lo Book, symbolizing the order of the evolution of all things.

The two sides use a Taiji diagram as the foundation, each occupying one of the yin and yang points, continuously placing pieces to disrupt or change the formation. The victory condition for the He Map side is to turn the Taiji diagram into a complete chaos, destroying the formation. The victory condition for the Lo Book side is to continuously evolve the Taiji formation into a new, larger formation. Since the two sides have completely opposite goals, they naturally compete with each other.

In other words, the Lo Book side is about creation, while the He Map side is about destruction. The destruction side naturally tries to disrupt the placement of the creation side, while the creation side also defends against the destruction side.

This is not just a game but also a simulation of the principles of heaven and earth. One side evolves the world, while the other destroys it, thus understanding the changes in the world. It is very helpful for improving one's Dao.

At this critical moment, the Lo Book side, which Feng Ye was playing, was at a disadvantage. With a few more moves, Fuxi could completely destroy the Taiji formation, and as long as the formation was not complete, the He Map side would win.

At this moment, the young boy Yaoyang came in. Seizing the opportunity, Feng Ye reached out and scrambled the board: "Since there is a guest now, Your Majesty should go and meet them! This time, it's a draw!"

"Ai, Feng Ye, I'm not saying this to criticize you! How many times have you cheated now, and it's a draw again! Last time, you said you wanted to eat a spirit fruit and directly dismantled the board. The time before that, you said you wanted to take a break, and it ended up unresolved. The time before that, you said you wanted to check Feng Zhong's homework and then ignored it. There have already been twenty-three draws!"

"There's nothing I can do, someone is looking for you, right? Go quickly, we'll start over later!" Fuxi grumbled a few words and was sent to the front of the cave by Feng Ye. (Cough, this is what's called the ability to force a draw, am I lying?)

Feng Ye ate a spirit fruit and some snacks, then waited for a while. Fuxi came in with a frown: "Well, the Great Sage of Supreme Clarity has something to discuss with me and I need to go to the Eight Scenic Palaces for a while. The Huoyun Cave will be left in your hands, Feng Ye."

An invitation from a Sage? Feng Ye was taken aback: "Alright, Your Majesty should go. Yaoyang, go to the back mountain and bring the dragon horse for His Majesty, and accompany him for a walk. Although His Majesty doesn't like to make a big show, it's not good to go alone, and someone should attend to him."

Yaoyang, the young boy, was the reincarnation of the Su bird. Feng Ye, feeling that the Huoyun Cave was very quiet and lacked personnel, did not want to go to Yuan Kui to find some boys, so he enlightened the Su bird and made it a boy to serve him.

In addition, there was another boy named Ziyu, who was a stone that had taken form.

Fuxi left, and Feng Ye called Feng Zhong to check his homework. The homework was nothing more than writing ten thousand talismans. Well, it's not much, this is not Feng Ye, who suffered from the exam-oriented education in the later world, and thus decided to "enjoy alone is not as good as enjoying together" and started to torment Feng Zhong. Absolutely not! Feng Ye guarantees with his integrity! As for whether Feng Ye still has integrity, that can be a separate topic, not discussed here!

Feng Ye carefully examined the talismans written by Feng Zhong and nodded in satisfaction. After all, he now only had this one disciple in front of him, so he was fully devoted to teaching him. Plus, Fuxi would occasionally give some guidance. Feng Zhong's progress was very significant, and at this rate, he could become a Golden Immortal in a few hundred years.

Feng Ye spent two days leisurely, but then saw Fuxi return with a stern face. Feng Ye frowned, stood up, and asked, "Your Majesty was invited by the Great Sage of Supreme Clarity, why are you back so early?"

Fuxi did not want to say much, but thinking that Feng Ye was also a human ancestor and held the human race's fortune, he said, "The Three Pure Ones are truly hateful! This time they invited me to discuss the matters of the Heavenly, Earthly, and Human Emperors. I attained the Dao as the Heavenly Emperor, and the Heavenly Dao revealed that in the future, the human race will have the Earthly and Human Emperors. These three emperors are crucial to the human race's fortune. The Three Pure Ones actually want to send their disciples as imperial teachers, set the names, and divide the merit. They want to incorporate the human race's fortune into the two schools of Cheng and Jie, to control us in the future! I, as the head of all emperors, cannot accept this!"

"The human race's matters? As the head of the human race, the Great Sage of Supreme Clarity can get involved, but why do the Great Sages of Jade Purity and Supreme Purity also want to meddle? Has Empress Nuwa agreed?" Feng Ye frowned and asked.

"This is probably the intention of Laojun and the other two. When I went, my sister was also there. Hearing the Three Pure Ones' words, she was also greatly angered. However, Laojun, the Great Sage, holds the Kunlun Divine Seal, the divine artifact of the Human Emperor, and has the advantage, so we cannot stop him."

For this, Feng Ye's face turned cold. After all, Shen Nong, his first disciple, was the reincarnation of Feng Kui, who should have returned to his school. How could he let the Three Pure Ones take him away?

Feng Ye's face was dark, and he wanted to ask in detail, but seeing Fuxi in a bad mood, he did not want to upset him. He called Yaoyang and asked in detail what happened at the Eight Scenic Palaces.

After asking, Feng Ye began to ponder. The Earthly Emperor's position to the Jie School, the Human Emperor's position to the Cheng School, and Laojun as the head of the human race?

Feng Ye sneered inwardly, how could there be such a good thing? After all, his fortune is also in the human race. If the human race's fortune is incorporated into the Three Pure Ones' schools, he would also be constrained. Moreover, giving up his disciple, not to mention his unwillingness, even if he agreed, he could not forget the promise he made to Feng Kui before his death, to bring him back to his school in the next life. Cultivators value their Dao heart the most, and if it is damaged, his Dao path would be cut off. How could he allow this?

Although the Great Sage of Supreme Clarity is the head of the human race, he does not have actual power. After all, Empress Nuwa often shows her divine presence, and the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi has just attained the Dao. In the human race, the right to speak does not belong to the Great Sage of Supreme Clarity. It is no wonder that this Sage wants to establish the three emperors and set the trend of the human race. He just wants to truly become the head of the human race.

The human race, in short, is about teaching and educating the human race, and has nothing to do with cultivation and becoming a deity. Just because Laojun is a Sage, it does not mean that the Heavenly Dao will give him the right to teach the human race just because he shouts a few times.

Empress Nuwa is still alive, and without her consent, how could Laojun become the head of the human race?

The Great Sage of Supreme Clarity is not of human origin and has not made any contributions to the human race. Why should he establish the human race? Just because of his Sage status?

The human race's concept of a Sage is not the same as the Immortal Sage in cultivation. It is about establishing virtue and teaching the human race, making great contributions to the human race, and making the human race flourish in the world, thus being revered as a Sage.

This kind of Sage is far inferior to the Immortal Sage, only enjoying the human race's incense and fortune, and being respected by the human race. Outside the human race, no one cares. You can't make the demons and spirits follow the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, can you? The human race, in a sense, is a loose organization, existing to educate the human race.

In ancient times, there were Sui Ren, You Chao, and Yan Zi. Later, during the Tai Hao period, there were Fuxi, Shen Nong, and Xu Yuan. Then, there were Yao, Shun, Yu, King Wen of Zhou, Duke of Zhou, Confucius, Mencius, and the various scholars, all revered as Sages. However, their Sages are the Sages of the human race, positions in the human world. As long as the human world does not decline, these positions will not fall, thus ensuring long-term peace and prosperity.

The Great Sage of Supreme Clarity, as the head of the human race, has naturally made contributions to the human race, otherwise, why would Empress Nuwa entrust her descendants to him for education?

The Great Sage of Supreme Clarity, also known as the Moral Heaven Lord, spread morality in the human race. When the human race was ignorant and confused, they did not know what was right and wrong, and everything was for survival.

It was the Great Sage of Supreme Clarity who entered the world to educate, making the people understand right and wrong and know shame. Thus, he became the head of the human race, teaching and educating.

However, although the head of the human race is respected, his status in the human race is not the highest. At least, the status of the Holy Mother is higher.

In the human race, the revered ancestors can be divided into three categories: ancestors, emperors, and teachers.

Ancestors refer to the forefathers of the human race. During festivals, the ancestral temple is worshipped, and the ancestors hold the primary position in the human race.

Empress Nuwa, without saying, is revered as the "Holy Mother Nuwa," the greatest ancestor. Below her, You Chao, Sui Ren, and Yan Zi can all be considered the forefathers of the human race and revered as holy ancestors. Feng Ye, being from the Sui Ren tribe, is also a forefather of the human race. Fuxi and the later Yan and Huang Emperors can also be considered forefathers.

The second category is emperors, referring to the leaders of the human race, leading the human race to progress and development. In this primordial chaos era, it naturally refers to the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, the human race's emperors. Among these holy emperors, the first is the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi.

Fuxi, as the brother of the Holy Mother Nuwa, is also considered the cultural ancestor, teaching the human race. He is revered as the "First of the Three Emperors" and "The Foremost of All Emperors," leading all the emperors and setting an example for later emperors.

The third category is teachers, those who teach and resolve doubts. If the holy ancestors and holy emperors must be of human origin, the holy teachers are different. Teaching and educating the human race, spreading morality, and being revered as teachers. This is why Laojun is called the Moral Heaven Lord and the head of the human race.

However, if it is said that Laojun is the sole head of the human race, that is a false statement.

If the human race is divided into the three categories of ancestors, emperors, and teachers, Laojun, at most, is the leader of the teacher category, responsible for the education of the human race. At most, he stands on equal footing with Nuwa and Fuxi. He cannot have the final say.

These three jointly manage the human race, and matters of the human race must be discussed by all three. However, Fuxi and Nuwa are always in agreement, so to speak, Laojun's right to speak is less than these two.

Therefore, Laojun wants to increase his influence in the human race through certain matters. For example, the imperial teacher. If the second-generation disciples of
