Brothers Reunite, Innate Fire Virtue
In the Netherworld Realm, Shennong and Xuan Ming have been here for ten thousand years and are about to achieve their goal.
On that very day, an uninvited guest arrived at their location.
Dressed in a black, close-fitting outfit, with eyes like stars, he exuded a powerful aura that inspired awe.
"This humble Shennong, Shennong, greets this fellow Daoist. May I ask what brings you here?"
Shennong looked tense. The newcomer had a powerful aura and superb cultivation, but his good and evil were unclear, so it was definitely not a good thing.
Just as Shennong was asking his question, the newcomer and Xuan Ming exchanged a glance, already imprinting each other deeply in their minds.
Because the visitor was none other than Xuan Tian.
Xuan Tian bowed to Shennong and said, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Shennong. I have heard that a great sage of the human race has been in my Netherworld for ten thousand years, and I have come today to pay my respects."
Shennong repeatedly said "I dare not," after all, judging from the other party's aura, this was a Quasi-Saint Great Powers.
The two exchanged a few casual pleasantries, but since they were not close acquaintances, they naturally did not engage in any in-depth conversation.
At this moment, Shennong also noticed something was wrong. Although Xuan Tian kept talking to him, his gaze was always vaguely fixed on Xuan Ming.
What's going on between you two? Do you have a grudge?
"I don't think so!"
"What do you mean 'shouldn't exist'? If it exists, it exists; if it doesn't, it doesn't. If it does exist, we'll find a chance to escape."
"That's not necessary!"
The two ended their secret telepathic communication.
At this moment, Xuan Tian and Shennong also stopped talking, since the two were not familiar with each other and had nothing to talk about.
The scene fell silent for a moment.
Shennong didn't know what was going on with these two, but he felt very superfluous and embarrassed.
"You won't even call me 'Big Brother' when you see me? Third Brother!" Xuan Ming said first.
Xuan Tian's lips twitched slightly, and he said disdainfully, "Big brother? Since you know you're my big brother, why didn't you come to see me after all these ten thousand years in the Netherworld? Or are you too embarrassed to come see me?"
Xuan Ming exclaimed in surprise, then teased, "You're not as taciturn as Qiong'er described; you're actually quite eloquent."
"Don't worry, even if you've only just broken through to Quasi-Saint, or even if you've broken through to the Hun Yuan, I'd still have the nerve to come see you. In fact, I'd love for our whole family to be at the Primordial Chaos Hun Yuan, so who in the Primordial Wilderness would dare to bully me?"
Xuan Tian choked for a moment. He hadn't expected his elder brother to be like this, but the words "our whole family" dispelled all his doubts.
He had initially thought that Xuan Ming was too embarrassed to see him because he had broken through to the Quasi-Saint realm first, but now it seemed that was not the case at all; such a carefree attitude would not have made that possible.
"The reason I didn't come to see you is twofold: firstly, I have a great responsibility to fulfill, and secondly, I had some insights that I didn't have time to share. I was planning to see you before I left, but I never expected that you would come to see me instead."
Heavenly Dao, "It doesn't matter, it's all the same."
He then bowed respectfully and said, "Your younger brother, Xuan Tian, greets your elder brother."
Xuan Ming also bowed respectfully. "Xuan Ming greets Third Brother."
"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!"
Shennong clapped his hands and exclaimed, "I wonder who in this world could have sons like you? I am truly envious! I am so envious! A son should be like Mingtian!"
Xuan Ming calmly said, "There's nothing to envy. Our father was just an old rogue. His name was Donghua, and his Daoist name Tai Wei."
Shennong asked in confusion, "Donghua? Tai Wei, those names sound familiar... Donghua, Tai Wei..."
"The Heavenly Emperor?"
Xuan Ming nodded and said, "The Heavenly Emperor is his title."
In the present Primordial Wilderness, Donghua's name is not particularly well-known, even less so than Tai Wei's, after all, this is the Tai Wei Era.
Because ordinary mortals call Donghua "Old Heaven," and cultivators respectfully call him "Heavenly Emperor" or "Great Heavenly Venerate," the name Donghua is rarely mentioned anymore.
Of course, there are fewer and fewer people in the Primordial Wilderness who can or dare to mention Donghua's name these days. Although Donghua doesn't mind, no one dares or has the right to.
Shennong looked at Xuan Ming and asked, "And who is your mother?"
Xuan Ming: "My father Donghua, my mother is Taizhen West Queen Mother, and my master Sect Master Tongtian of Shangqing."
Shennong turned to Heavenly Inquiry, "Then what about you?"
Xuan Tian said, "My father is Donghua, and my mother is Houtu. I have no master, but there are many people who have taught me cultivation, such as the Ancestral Witch Xuanming, the Great Witch Xingtian, and the Great Immortal Zhenyuanzi."
Upon hearing these people's names, Shennong was immediately annoyed. Any one of these identities would be enough to make one invincible in the Primordial Wilderness, but these two possessed almost all of them.
"Brother, Fellow Shennong, now that you two have achieved your goal, Tathagata my palace for a chat?"
"Walk!"
"Let's go together!"
The three of them transformed into streaks of light and vanished into the dark sky!
"There wasn't even a fight. How boring, how boring."
In the Heaven Realm, Donghua seemed to enjoy watching the drama unfold, while the West Queen Mother naturally didn't give him a friendly look either.
"You really want them to fight? Would you rather Xuan Ming fight Xuan Tian, or Xuan Tian fight Xuan Ming?"
Donghua quickly coughed, realizing his carelessness; he had completely forgotten about the tigress's existence. This was another potentially fatal question; how was he supposed to answer it?
So we had to change the subject.
With a casual gesture, a scene appeared before them. Donghua pointed to one of the figures and said, "Take a look at this person."
The West Queen Mother's gaze lingered on the person. The scene depicted a place in Chen Du, the capital of the human race, where a child was running.
"Innate Fire Virtue? How is that possible?"
With the advancement of the Primordial Wilderness, the people born in the Primordial Wilderness now have all sorts of strange physiques, and those with such physiques are all good candidates for cultivation.
The Innate Fire Virtue is not a physical constitution, but a destiny, a destiny that only Innate Deities can possess, meaning it is born from the Dao and therefore has uniqueness.
The Innate Fire Virtue is Hong Yun's destiny. Hong Yun was merely reincarnated, not deceased, so this destiny must still exist.
But now a new Innate Fire Virtue destiny has emerged, which is what greatly alarmed the West Queen Mother.
"This child is the son of Hong Yun, the reincarnation of Shennong, and his name is Yan Ju."
"Although I don't know why there are two people with the Innate Fire Virtue destiny at the same time, this has solved one of my problems. He is the born Sun Star Lord."
The position of Sun Star Lord is not limited to the Golden Crow; anyone can hold it if their destiny is suitable. However, those with Innate Fire Virtue destiny are the most appropriate candidates.
Now that the Star Dou Great Formation has been deduced, all that remains is to Investiture of the Gods to operate the array, and this person with the Innate Fire Virtue is just right to serve as the Sun Star Lord.
"Hong Yun's son? He certainly has good potential!"
The West Queen Mother was only slightly puzzled, and did not offer any further praise. At her level of cultivation, aptitude and talent were all illusions.
Knowing that the West Queen Mother was not interested, Donghua did not elaborate, but instead said, "Fuxi's merits are about to be fulfilled, but his whereabouts are still a problem."
"What did Senior Sister Nuwa say?" the West Queen Mother asked.
"Nuwa's intention was to have Fuxi create the heavens and earth, using the power of the world to suppress the fate of the human race and protect humanity," Donghua replied.
"Isn't this a good thing? Who disagrees?"
Donghua: "This was the result we agreed upon before, but now Fuxi has his own ideas. He wants to refine a supreme treasure to suppress the fortune, instead of using his own body to suppress it."
The West Queen Mother paused for a moment. If it were any other Saint who had objections, it would be easy to resolve. But now that Fuxi himself wanted to change things, it was a bit troublesome.
The two methods of suppressing destiny may seem the same, but they are actually quite different.
The first type of world law is the most stable, but those who suppress it have little freedom, just like Houtu guarding reincarnation and the earthly realm.
Although one can freely enter and leave the realms and reincarnate, one cannot leave for an extended period, otherwise the cycle of reincarnation will become unstable.
The advantage of this method is that it is more closely connected with humanity, and the improvement of cultivation is related to the world and humanity.
The second method is similar to how Donghua used the Heavenly Emperor Seal to suppress the Heavenly Court. He is unrestricted, has a high degree of freedom, and the rise and fall of the Heavenly Court does not affect Donghua.
"If you ask me, since Fuxi already has this idea, there's no harm in letting him try. If he can refine Innate Supreme Treasure that can suppress destiny, we'll have more experts participating in our early attacks on the Western God Realm, instead of ending up with nothing."
Donghua nodded and said, "That's fine. Let him try. However, Innate Supreme Treasure are not so easy to refine, otherwise there wouldn't be only a few."
