Scheming Against Each Other
As for the Chaos Spirit Treasure atop the Central Heavenly Pillar, it held little appeal for Fuxi.
At Fuxi's level, photographic memory was merely a basic bodily instinct.
When Daoist Shichen came to find Fuxi, he took out a treasure map. After Fuxi learned about the entire Taishi Continent, he immediately realized that the location Daoist Shichen had mentioned was none other than the Five Directions Heavenly Pillars.
Therefore, Fuxi did not have much interest in the Chaos Spirit Treasures such as the Southern Red Emperor Sword and the Northern Black Emperor Banner that appeared on the Great Dao Treasure Ranking.
It should be noted that Daoist Shichen's abilities are not weak even at the Great Dao Sage Realm. If he were to truly fight the Four Fierce Beasts, the Four Fierce Beasts would be no match for Daoist Shichen, who wields the Time Authority.
But Daoist Shichen didn't dare to retrieve the treasure himself; instead, he plotted against others to take it. Heaven knows how many conspiracies and schemes were involved.
Fuxi's attitude toward Chaos Spirit Treasures was that he would definitely strive for them if he could obtain them, but he would not force them if he was not destined to have them.
After all, he had no shortage of Chaos Spirit Treasures.
Therefore, strictly speaking, he has no conflict with Dao Ancestor Dao Yi and Dao Ancestor Guixu.
Therefore, when faced with the probing of Dao Ancestor Dao Yi, Fuxi directly brought up the topic.
"Fellow Daoist, I have no shortage of Chaos Spirit Treasures, and my purpose in coming to Central Province is not the treasures on the Central Heavenly Pillar."
There's no need for you two to be so tense.
When Dao Ancestor Dao Yi and Dao Ancestor Guixu heard Fuxi say that they did not lack Chaos Spirit Treasures, their emotions were extremely complicated.
But seeing that Fuxi's attitude didn't seem fake, the two couldn't help but secretly discuss it via telepathy.
"Senior Brother Dao Yi, Fuxi doesn't seem to be putting on an act. What should we do now?"
"We can't force Fuxi to stay. We should ask him more questions and find out his purpose in coming to Central Province."
"It can't be that he just came here to see the scenery of Central Province, can it?"
When Fuxi saw that Dao Ancestor Dao Yi and Dao Ancestor Guixu had suddenly fallen silent, he knew that the two must be secretly communicating and discussing how to proceed.
Fuxi first used his Universe in the Sleeve to put away Yang Jian and the other two, since they might actually start fighting later.
Fuxi could guarantee that he would emerge unscathed from a fight between two people, but he couldn't guarantee the same for Yang Jian and the other two.
After putting away the three who were dragging him down, Fuxi continued to speak frankly, "Fellow Daoists, you don't need to think too much. My trip to Central Province this time is only for that Beast Emperor Tian Ni."
If you two fellow Daoists do not believe, let us make Dao Oath.
"I, Fuxi, will not touch any of the treasures atop the Central Heavenly Pillar. However, both of you must Dao Oath to help me attack the Beast Emperor Tian Ni guarantee not to take any of the spoils from him."
Upon hearing Dao Ancestor Dao Yi and Dao Ancestor Guixu narrowed their eyes and pondered carefully.
Based on the two Heavenly Pillar treasures currently revealed on the Great Dao Treasure Ranking, after obtaining the Chaos Spirit Treasure atop the Heavenly Pillar, there is still a Heavenly Mandate at play, namely, to deal with the Fierce Beasts guarding the Heavenly Pillar.
The Fierce Beasts guarding the Central Heavenly Pillar is undoubtedly the Beast Emperor Tian Ni.
In their eyes, if Fuxi hadn't made a move, the Chaos Spirit Treasure atop the Central Heavenly Pillar would have already been theirs for the taking. Therefore, facing the Beast Emperor Tian Ni was an inevitable event for them.
However, if they could exchange dealing with the Beast Emperor Tian Ni, something they were already destined to do, for the sake of Fuxi not vying for the Chaos Spirit Treasure atop the Central Heavenly Pillar.
This is an incredibly lucrative opportunity.
Therefore, Dao Ancestor Dao Yi and Dao Ancestor Guixu did not hold back and directly agreed to Fuxi's request, and the two sides made Dao Oath to each other.
Whether it was Dao Ancestor Dao Yi, Dao Ancestor Guixu, or Fuxi, they were all very satisfied with this outcome.
Fuxi smiled. As expected, his deduction was correct. Neither Dao Ancestor Dao Yi nor Dao Ancestor Guixu knew about the information regarding the Authority Treasures.
They thought they had made a profit, but little did they know they had suffered a huge loss.
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Fuxi released Yang Jian and the other two again.
"Wukong, Yang Jian, Nezha, you three, why don't you quickly pay your respects to our two senior uncles?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian and the other two hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects to Dao Ancestor Dao Yi and Dao Ancestor Guixu.
The two Dao Ancestor Dao Yi were also kind to the three juniors, and each of them gave an Innate Supreme Treasure as a gift.
However, after presenting the gifts, Dao Ancestor Dao Yi began urging Fuxi to enter Central Province.
"It's getting late, why don't we head into Central Province first?"
"Good."
Seeing that Dao Ancestor Dao Yi were quite eager, Fuxi did not refuse.
His trio of the top three strongest beings in the Chaos — Dao Ancestor Dao Yi and Dao Ancestor Guixu —would be unstoppable in any region of the Chaos.
Right now, let alone stepping onto the battlefield of the Fierce Beasts civil war, even if they directly joined in, they could leave unscathed, and incidentally kill the Beast Emperor Tian Ni and the Four Fierce Beasts.
However, upon reaching the edge of the battlefield, both Dao Ancestor Dao Yi and Dao Ancestor Guixu regretted their decision.
The two of them could see at a glance that the Beast Emperor Tian Ni, in the midst of the great battle, was currently controlling two Chaos Spirit Treasures to resist the attacks of the Four Fierce Beasts.
Two Chaos Spirit Treasures!
If they hadn't Dao Oath to Fuxi beforehand, they would have been able to obtain at least one of the two Chaos Spirit Treasures after slaying the Beast Emperor Tian Ni.
The two looked at Fuxi almost simultaneously, and only felt a little better after seeing that Fuxi's expression was also somewhat surprised.
It seems that what happened earlier was not something Fuxi had deliberately planned.
In fact, Fuxi's current surprise was not feigned.
He truly hadn't expected such an unexpected surprise.
Originally, it was thought that the biggest gain would be the supreme Authority Treasures of the Nature Great Dao, which was wielded by the Beast Emperor Tian Ni, but now it seems that two Chaos Spirit Treasures should also be added.
As the old saying goes, a loss may turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
However, Fuxi quickly noticed the complicated gazes of Dao Ancestor Dao Yi and Dao Ancestor Guixu, and after thinking for a moment, he hurriedly said, "I truly did not know that the Beast Emperor Tian Ni possessed Chaos Spirit Treasure."
"It's just a coincidence, nothing more."
After Fuxi finished speaking, seeing that Dao Ancestor Dao Yi and the other two still had complicated expressions, he thought for a moment and added a message.
"Fellow Daoists, according to my previous calculations, there are two Chaos Spirit Treasures within that Central Heavenly Pillar."
"One is the Central Yellow Emperor Seal, located atop the Central Heavenly Pillar."
"Secondly, there is the Five Directions Five Emperors Formation Diagram, located beneath the Central Heavenly Pillar."
"Instead of speculating again about whether I'm plotting against you, you two should go and retrieve the treasure from the Heavenly Pillar."
"Right now, the Central Heavenly Pillar is bustling with activity."
As Fuxi spoke, the illusory image of the Primordial Eight Trigrams in his hand flashed, revealing the scene atop the Central Heavenly Pillar.
At this moment, the six newly promoted Great Dao Sage, led by Saint Envoy Yangyan and Venerable Ziming, had already taken advantage of the fact that the Beast Emperor Tian Ni was busy fighting the Four Fierce Beasts and had no time to spare, and ascended to the Central Heavenly Pillar.
Besides the Saint Envoy Yangyan and others, there were also many peak Dao-Union Sage and even Half-Step Great Dao Sage on the Central Heavenly Pillar.
Among them was an acquaintance of Fuxi, the Dao Ancestor Hongjun.
