The emperor's chariot was pressed against the light of the clouds, Gu Cheng stepped down, and saw tall cypresses and crooked pines in front of the Huoyun Cave. It looked misty and peaceful, not noble, just like an ordinary fairy cave.
A boy led the way, and Gu Cheng entered the cave. It was wide, simple, and majestic, but it was a natural palace of extraordinary craftsmanship.
There were three people sitting on the cloud bed in the center.
One of them is an old man, wearing a green robe and plain clothes, with two horns on top, and an indifferent look. He is the Holy Emperor Fuxi;
The one on the left is middle-aged, with leaves covering his shoulders, a tiger-leopard waist, and kind eyes. He is the Holy Emperor Shennong;
The one on the right is a mature man, dignified and majestic, dressed in the Ming Huang Emperor's uniform, with sharp eyes. He is the Holy Emperor Xuanyuan.
Gu Cheng took a few steps closer, bowed and saluted: "I have seen three holy and virtuous emperors!"
The three emperors accepted it calmly and stood up together: "Salute to His Majesty the Human Emperor!"
What Gu Chengjing admires is that the Three Emperors have promoted humanity, and what the Three Emperors are pleased about is that the Human Emperor has revived humanity.
The two sides sat down, and Fu Xi said: "Your Majesty has suppressed the internal strife, but defeated the external enemies. The whole world is subdued, and all the people praise it. There is an emperor in the human world. The three of us are very happy. However, have you ever considered the matter of attacking the sky properly?"
Go straight to the point without any intention of questioning, just to clear up doubts.
Gu Chengdao: "I have thought deeply that heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as stupid dogs. Immortals and gods are also among all things, but they compare themselves to heaven. I lead the human race to conquer the sky. One is not to worship the immortals and gods, so that the human race can strengthen itself, and the other is to redefine the heaven.
Let the Three Realms return to order and balance!"
Shennong asked: "The calamity of the end of the Dharma has already appeared. What if your majesty's war against heaven can be used to promote the great calamity and destroy the three realms?"
Gu Chengdao: "Where there is fear, there is nothing to rely on; when there is difficulty, there is no way to avoid it."
Xuanyuan asked: "Any warrior does not think about victory, but first thinks about defeat. In a battle to defeat the sky, what about victory and defeat?"
Gu Chengdao: "Show strength to the enemy. If you win, you will come back. If you lose, you will retreat."
In just ten words, Saint Emperor Xuanyuan thought for a moment and already showed his approval.
It has been a long time since the enthronement ceremony and the determination to conquer the sky. Time has passed differently in Jianyuan Cave. Hundreds of years have passed, but the army of the human world has not moved.
Just because Gu Cheng is not in a hurry.
It is heaven that should be anxious.
Although the strength of the immortals and gods is strong, it is at its peak. There is no way forward, and it flourishes and then declines. The human world is weak at first, but once it unites and improves, the speed of improvement changes with each passing day. The momentum of catching up is enough to make even the immortals and gods feel threatened.
.
Therefore, by destroying the three evils in the battle and showing the enemy that you are strong, the immortals and gods will believe you.
However, the human world needs to be self-aware, as there is still a gap compared to the heavenly world, so even if you win a big victory, don't swallow the elephant like a snake.
Win and come back!
As for retreating if defeated, it is even simpler. Even if Heavenly Court wins, does it dare to risk falling into an ambush and pursue it?
Don't dare!
Long before the war started, Gu Cheng had made overall arrangements. The first battle against the sky was destined not to be a glorious victory, nor a tragic defeat.
Yes, it's the first time.
The great cause of conquering the sky is far from being ended by a single war.
After a short exchange, the three emperors were relieved and asked Gu Cheng: "The three holy emperors have invited you to talk about the nine tripods of Dayu. Is it possible that the five tripods among them are in the Fire Cloud Cave?"
"good!"
Fuxi waved his sleeves, and five rays of light shone, each with a giant cauldron rising and floating.
But Gu Cheng couldn't feel the powerful aura from it, and his eyes looked strange.
He had many doubts about Dayu Jiuding.
For example, among the human emperors of the past dynasties, Dayu was not the most prominent one. Why could the Nine Cauldrons determine the supreme position of the human emperor?
In comparison, the Three Emperors' Fuxi Qin, Shennong Cauldron and Xuanyuan Sword are all among the top ten legendary artifacts. They are infused with the Holy Power of Humanity and can surpass the contemporary generation. They should be more qualified, right?
"The Nine Cauldron was originally the Qiankun Cauldron, which was blended with our Hongmeng Purple Qi."
Fuxi revealed the truth, a light flashed on his knees, and there was a guqin lying across it, which was just a mysterious weapon.
Gu Cheng's pupils narrowed.
What does this mean, is Fu Xiqin’s Hongmeng Purple Qi injected into Jiuding?
Hongmeng Purple Qi is the power that is spontaneously born when a mysterious weapon is promoted to an artifact. It is the key to controlling the original power and the core of the artifact.
Fuxi injected the Hongmeng Purple Qi of Fuxi Qin into the Nine Cauldrons, thereby destroying his own divine weapon and completing the Qiankun Cauldron.
And what he said was "I'll wait"...
Sure enough, in the next moment, Shennong's tripod and Xuanyuan sword floated beside Shennong's Xuanyuan. They were not divine weapons either.
Fu Xi said: "Your Majesty, you should know that when the three realms of heaven, earth and man were first divided, the artifacts of the Three Emperors were born. However, after a big change, the artifacts were downgraded, and the Emperor of Heaven did not come out, and the three realms fell into disorder and chaos."
Gu Cheng nodded.
Shennong continued: "My human race was humble in ancient times. It was only after the decline of the Lich that it rose to prominence. After several generations and passing on the fire, it finally took the form of a country. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. Unexpectedly, a flood suddenly swept across the world and destroyed everything!"
Xuanyuan was such a enterprising person. He recalled the flood with lingering fear: "The water was unstoppable and submerged everything. The source could not be found. It came so suddenly that even the Empress Nuwa could not quell the flood by breathing down the soil with nine heavens."
Gu Cheng's face changed slightly.
Nuwa, who has entered the realm of Hunyuan Dao, can't stop the flood?
"That flood was the end of the Dharma for the human world!"
Fuxi said: "The empress even discovered that while the world-destroying flood was raging across the human world, the original power within the Human Emperor's throne was being continuously absorbed, almost to the point of being destroyed!"
Shennong said: "If the human throne is destroyed, then no emperor will be born in the human world. When the disaster is imminent, Empress Nuwa used the Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and Xuanhuang Mother Qi as the main materials, and the three of us will draw out the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
, to refine a new human emperor artifact!"
Xuanyuan said in a deep voice: "The Qiankun Cauldron was finally born to suppress the world-destroying flood. However, when the flood subsided, the enemy behind the scenes also took action and smashed the Qiankun Cauldron into nine cauldrons. In order to prevent another catastrophe, we will go to Nuwa.
Under the guidance of the empress, nine tripods were used to assist the throne and determine the supreme status of the Nine-Nine."
Gu Cheng nodded slowly and asked in a solemn voice: "Why did the Heaven Realm take away the Four Cauldrons?"
Xuanyuan said coldly: "After the calamity of the human world, there will be glory. There will be no emperor in the heaven, and the immortals and gods will seize the tripod. His heart can be punished!"
The implication is to take precautions in the bud, fearing that the heavenly realm will also suffer disaster in the future and be overtaken by the prosperous human realm.
Fu Xi said: "Perhaps there is another plan. Taking advantage of the change of Shang and Zhou dynasties, a group of immortals went down to the realm, claiming to be experienced and recruiting disciples, but in fact they came for Jiuding. The Taoist sect and the heaven have been prepared for a long time, and they will not hesitate to fight!"
Gu Cheng immediately understood that when King Wu ascended the throne, it was recorded that the earth, water, wind and fire surged violently, and the sky and earth were eclipsed. It turned out to be a battle between the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors against the heaven.
It's a pity that we lost in the end and were taken away by the heavens, including the Zhongtian Cauldron, the Qiantian Cauldron, the Kuntian Cauldron, and the Zhentian Cauldron, leaving the Xuntian Cauldron, Litian Cauldron, Gentian Cauldron, Duitian Cauldron, and Kantian Cauldron.
Gu Cheng made a promise: "Your majesties, the three holy emperors, please rest assured, I will definitely bring back the four tripods!"
"When the Nine Cauldrons lost four of them, the enemy behind the flood moved again to seize the Five Cauldrons. The Five Emperors fought to the death and sacrificed themselves to the Cauldrons. Only the three of me formed a formation to suppress them, and we were able to hold on..."
However, the Three Emperors were not happy, and instead said with great solemnity: "Your Majesty wants to reunite Jiuding, but he will definitely not give up. This is the greatest danger!"
