War Goddess, South-Pointing Chariot Appears

Su Mu pondered for a long time before finally finding Bei Xuan. Su Mu planned for Bei Xuan to be Emperor Yu's teacher, and now was a good time to have him teach Xuanyuan first to get him accustomed to it.

Su Mu sent a telepathic message to Bei Xuan, asking him to come to the Martial Ancestor Hall to see him. The Martial Ancestor Hall was where Su Mu lived within the Human Ancestor Hall. Currently, there were also the Suiren Hall, Youchao Hall, and Ziyi Hall.

Bei Xuan arrived before Su Mu and bowed, "Greetings, Senior Disciple Brother."

"It's been a long time. You've reached the peak of the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm. It seems you've been very diligent." Su Mu was very pleased. With the merit gained from assisting Xuanyuan this time, he was sure to break through to the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm.

"Thank you for your praise, Senior Disciple Brother." Bei Xuan was very happy to hear Su Mu's words.

"Bei Xuan, there's been some trouble with Guangchengzi assisting Xuanyuan. They've been unable to defeat Chi You's army. Go and help Xuanyuan; you'll also gain merit then."

"Thank you, Senior Disciple Brother, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely do my best to help Xuanyuan. However, I heard that the Kunlun Twelve Golden Immortals also failed. I am only at the Primordial Unity Golden Immortal realm, how can I be a match for Chi You?" Bei Xuan said.

Su Mu smiled slightly and said to Bei Xuan, "Junior Disciple Brother, I have already thought of a plan. You can go to West Kunlun to find Nine Heavens Xuannü.

Nine Heavens Xuannü is well-versed in military strategy and skilled in warfare. When I first met her, she was already a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal. She must have reached Zenith Heaven by now. If you cooperate with her, you will surely be able to defeat Chi You's army."

After speaking, Su Mu added, "I will also have Candle Dragon send a dragon clan member to assist Xuanyuan."

"Alright, I will go to West Kunlun immediately to find Nine Heavens Xuannü." Bei Xuan immediately headed to West Kunlun.

After Bei Xuan left, Su Mu exited the Martial Ancestor Hall and went to the Training Ground. He found a dragon clan member and asked him to tell Candle Dragon to send a dragon clan member to assist Xuanyuan.

The dragon, after hearing Su Mu's words, immediately headed towards the East Sea.

Bei Xuan arrived at the foot of West Kunlun Mountain and called out, "I am Bei Xuan of the human race. I request Senior Sister Nine Heavens Xuannü to appear and meet me."

After a few breaths, Nine Heavens Xuannü appeared. Today's Nine Heavens Xuannü was very different from her usual self.

After witnessing Su Mu's powerful combat strength, she felt great admiration. She secretly vowed to cultivate diligently in the future and no longer indulge in play.

Therefore, after parting ways with Su Mu and returning to West Kunlun, she entered a mode of intense cultivation.

Queen Mother of the West was also pleased to see this Nine Heavens Xuannü, so all the resources of West Kunlun were tilted towards her.

With numerous resources and her own efforts, her cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching the peak of the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm. If Bei Xuan hadn't come looking for her, she would have continued her seclusion and cultivation.

"What do you need from me?" Nine Heavens Xuannü asked.

"Senior Sister Xuannü, it was Senior Disciple Brother Su Mu who sent me to find you," Bei Xuan replied.

"Su Mu? He sent you? Then who are you?" Nine Heavens Xuannü asked Bei Xuan.

"I am the Second Disciple under Empress Nuwa," Bei Xuan replied.

"Hmm, what is it that Su Mu wants you to find me for?" Nine Heavens Xuannü asked.

"It's like this..." Bei Xuan explained the situation to Nine Heavens Xuannü.

"So that's how it is. This is Su Mu sending me an opportunity." Nine Heavens Xuannü said with a smile, "Let's go. I'll go with you to meet Chi You."

The two stepped out and arrived outside Xuanyuan Camp. Inside the camp, Xuanyuan was anxiously awaiting visitors from the ancestral land.

While Xuanyuan was waiting, Chi You had been challenging them, but Xuanyuan had consistently raised the "no-battle" flag.

A soldier reported, "Leader, people from the ancestral land have arrived." Xuanyuan was overjoyed, "Quick, invite them in."

After Bei Xuan and Nine Heavens Xuannü entered the camp, Xuanyuan quickly asked, "May I ask your names?"

"Leader Xuanyuan, I am Bei Xuan, Martial Ancestor's Junior Disciple. This is Nine Heavens Xuannü, a disciple under Queen Mother of the West. Su Mu, our Senior Disciple Brother, sent us to assist Leader Xuanyuan."

"Good, please take a seat." Xuanyuan waited for them to sit down and then asked, "What do you think we should do next?"

At this moment, Guangchengzi spoke, "Even with all twelve of us Golden Immortals coming out, we couldn't defeat Chi You. You, one at the peak of Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal and the other at the peak of Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, are supposed to be the people sent by the ancestral land?"

Before Bei Xuan could speak, Nine Heavens Xuannü retorted, "You twelve couldn't defeat Chi You because you're not capable, not that others aren't."

"Yes, Senior Disciple Brother Guangchengzi, especially you. The title 'God of War of Zhuolu' has already spread throughout the entire Primordial World," Bei Xuan added.

"You..." Guangchengzi was already furious from being defeated by Chi You, and being spoken to like this by Nine Heavens Xuannü and Bei Xuan almost made him spit out a mouthful of blood. He managed to swallow it back down.

Xuanyuan quickly mediated, "Everyone, please listen to me. We should unite and focus on defeating Chi You. Let's not damage our harmony."

Guangchengzi was about to say something when he heard a commotion outside the tent.

A soldier ran in excitedly, "Leader, a dragon, a giant dragon!"

"A dragon! Let's go see!" Xuanyuan was also excited. Ever since before Xuanyuan was born, dragons had been the guardian divine beasts of the human race, their totem.

Everyone came out of the tent. Only Xuanyuan looked at the giant dragon before him with excitement. The dragon was incredibly massive. When he saw the pair of huge wings under its armpits, Xuanyuan was stunned.

"Is this a dragon? Why is it different from what's in the books?" Xuanyuan asked the crowd, confused.

Bei Xuan explained to Xuanyuan, "Leader Xuanyuan, this is indeed a dragon, but it's a branch of the dragon race, an Ying Long from the Ying Long clan."

Xuanyuan finally understood after Bei Xuan's explanation, his heart filled with curiosity. He knew of the existence of dragons, but he knew nothing about the Ying Long clan.

Xuanyuan asked again, "What are Ying Long like specifically?"

Bei Xuan continued, "The Ying Long clan are elites among the dragon race. They possess unique talents and abilities. These Ying Long usually live on the peaks of high mountains or in the depths of the sea, rarely interacting with the outside world."

"Then why is an Ying Long here?" Xuanyuan asked, puzzled.

Bei Xuan smiled and explained, "The Ying Long is also a helper that Senior Disciple Brother found for you."

"Excellent! The righteous gain much help, while the unrighteous gain little. Let's see how Chi You can turn this around now!" Xuanyuan was overjoyed.

After everyone returned to the camp, they began a heated discussion and deliberation.

They sat around the tent, the atmosphere tense and serious. Everyone offered their opinions and suggestions, trying to devise a perfect plan.

"We need to understand the enemy's situation in detail, including their troop strength, weaponry, and strategic deployment," said Nine Heavens Xuannü.

"At the same time, we must also consider the terrain, choosing suitable battlefields and tactics," Xuanyuan added.

"Furthermore, we cannot neglect logistical support, ensuring the army has sufficient food and fodder supplies," Bei Xuan reminded them.

Everyone nodded in agreement and continued to delve into various detailed issues. After a long discussion, a complete combat plan was finally finalized.

"Alright, let's execute according to this plan! I hope we can achieve victory!" Xuanyuan made the final decision.

The crowd responded in unison: "May we achieve victory from the outset!"

Thus, the various armies began to prepare actively for the impending battle.

Nine Heavens Xuannü made drums from the hide of the Eastern Sea Kui Niu and drumsticks from the bones of a Thunder Beast. She also fashioned horns from animal horns for use in battle.

With all preparations complete, Xuanyuan launched his attack once more.

They first had Ying Long, relying on its immense power, launch an aerial assault, disrupting the Chi You army's offensive momentum. Then, using the dragon race's water-controlling abilities, they shattered Chi You's formations.

At this moment, Nine Heavens Xuannü had a row of soldiers blow the war horns. Another row of drums was brought out and lined up. They began beating the drums to boost morale as rehearsed.

Nine Heavens Xuannü declared, "The entire army advances."

Xuanyuan's great army swiftly launched a fierce offensive. Chi You's army also quickly adjusted to meet Xuanyuan's forces. However, Xuanyuan's army possessed an overwhelming momentum this time, crushing Chi You's forces into disarray, forcing them to retreat step by step.

Helpless, Chi You could only retreat. In Chi You's camp, one of Chi You's eighty-one brothers said, "Leader, Xuanyuan's army is very fierce this time. It seems they used military strategy."

Chi You said, "The woman leading them is extraordinary. It seems she is well-versed in military strategy. I must also seek reinforcements."

After speaking, Chi You went to the underworld.

Meanwhile, the news of Xuanyuan's victory over Chi You's army quickly spread throughout the Great Desolation.

"What? Xuanyuan actually won this time."

"Isn't Guangchengzi the 'God of War of Zhuolu'? How could he win?"

"Fellow Daoist, you may not know, but this victory was not due to Guangchengzi, but to Nine Heavens Xuannü."

"Nine Heavens Xuannü, is she that Disciple of the Queen Mother of the West? The Queen Mother of the West is truly formidable, having trained such a good Disciple."

"Nine Heavens Xuannü commands troops like a divine being. I am willing to call her the War Goddess."

Countless powerful beings in the Great Desolation communicated through Spiritual Sense, chatting with great enthusiasm.

Hearing the Spiritual Sense exchanges of the powerful beings, the Queen Mother of the West felt immensely proud. This subtly elevated her status in the eyes of the Great Desolation's powerful beings.

In the Underworld, at Pingxin Hall, Chi You stood before Houtu with a pained expression, speaking with a sorrowful voice, "Empress!" His rugged face was filled with helplessness and grievance, as if he had suffered a great injustice.

Houtu said, "Chi You, I know why you have come. It is understandable that the Human Ancestral Land has intervened, for this war has dragged on for too long, and humanity cannot afford further delays. I will send Feng Bo and Yu Shi to aid you. You and Xuanyuan shall engage in a decisive battle at Zhuolu."

"Good." Chi You, accompanied by Feng Bo and Yu Shi, left the Underworld and headed for Zhuolu.

Upon arriving at Zhuolu, Yu Shi cast a sorcery, and in an instant, torrential rain poured down across the entire Zhuolu battlefield.

The downpour directly overwhelmed Xuanyuan's army, destroying their encampment. In a short time, Xuanyuan's forces suffered heavy losses.

Ying Long intervened, managing only to slightly reduce the intensity of the rain. Although Ying Long possessed the ability to control wind and rain, his power was vastly inferior to Yu Shi's.

Under these circumstances, Bei Xuan personally went to the North of Chishui to invite Nu Ba to assist in the battle.

As soon as Nu Ba arrived, the heat emanating from her person caused the rain to lessen, and she unleashed her divine power, evaporating the surrounding rainwater into steam.

As she moved, the temperature in the vicinity began to rise, and the ground, soaked by the rain, gradually dried.

With the torrential rain no longer an obstacle, Xuanyuan's army prepared to advance against Chi You's forces.

Seeing that the situation was dire, Feng Bo and Yu Shi joined forces and unleashed their divine abilities. Instantly, the land of Zhuolu was engulfed in thick fog.

Everyone lost their ability to discern direction, and Xuanyuan's army was forced to halt its advance.

Looking at the dense fog before them, Xuanyuan felt helpless and ordered his army to rebuild their encampment, temporarily ceasing hostilities.

After all, if his own army could not discern direction, Chi You's army was also unable to do so.

Xuanyuan was anxious. Suddenly, he looked up and saw the Big Dipper in the sky. The handle of the Dipper rotated, but the head remained stationary. Based on this principle, he invented the South-Pointing Chariot.

The South-Pointing Chariot appeared as a two-wheeled, single-shafted cart. A wooden figure stood on it, with its arm pointing south.

As soon as the chariot began to move, the wooden figure's arm pointed south. From then on, no matter which direction the chariot turned—southeast, northwest—due to the action of gears, the wooden figure's arm consistently pointed south.

Following this, the Yellow Emperor immediately ordered artisans to construct many more South-Pointing Chariots. Subsequently, Xuanyuan led his army, following the South-Pointing Chariots, charging into battle and engaging in fierce combat with Chi You's troops.
