It's difficult to reach a higher realm.
However, in the high-level Primordial World, they can completely break free from their shackles, and their upper limit can also be infinitely improved.
Zhou Yuan was unaware that just as they were rejoicing over the return of the potential Great Emperors.
On the other side, in Huoyun Palace, a shocking scene was unfolding.
Chapter 22: Letting the Wolf into the House, Fuxi's Treacherous Ambition!
Huoyun Palace!
This place is not the legendary dojo of Old Ancestor Hongyun.
Instead, it is the cultivation ground of the Human Race's Three Sovereigns: Heaven, Earth, and Human.
The so-called Three Sovereigns are Emperor Fuxi, Earth Emperor Shennong, and Human Emperor Xuanyuan.
Because the Three Sovereigns resided in Huoyun Palace, they were known by all beings as the Huoyun Three Sage Emperors.
And at this moment, Fuxi, the Emperor of Heaven, wore a look of melancholy.
"The Human Race actually possesses such hidden means."
Fuxi said in a deep voice, quite displeased.
As the Emperor of Heaven for the Human Race, he was completely unaware of Yi Zi Fang Yun and powerful figures like Zhou Qing within the Human Race.
This made him quite angry.
"It seems this matter must be expedited!"
"Otherwise, when powerhouses like Zhou Qing return, I, this seat, will surely die!"
As his voice fell, a deep worry appeared on Fuxi's face.
Zhou Qing's previous strength had not only startled Eastern Emperor Taiyi.
It had also shocked Fuxi!
Moreover, he had already offended the Human Race by sending the Imperial Envoy to drive away Yi Zi Fang Yun.
What's more, if the Human Race were to discover what he was doing in Huoyun Palace at this moment, it would incite their boundless fury.
If he waited for human Saints like Zhou Qing to return, he would be utterly and irrevocably dead.
Just as Fuxi was lost in thought, an angry roar resounded.
"Fuxi, your treacherous ambition will be exposed!"
"At that time, you will surely incur heavenly punishment and die at the hands of our Human Race's powerhouses."
"Hahaha..."
This was an incredibly battered figure.
His Daoist robes were tattered, stained with blood.
His hair was disheveled, and his aura was weak, looking utterly miserable.
Even more shocking were the four massive black and gold chains binding him, preventing him from breaking free.
He was actually imprisoned here!
At this moment, the figure stared at Fuxi with venomous eyes, laughing wildly.
Hearing this, Fuxi let out a sinister smile and disdainfully glanced at the miserably imprisoned figure.
Then he said coldly:
"Hmph, Shaohao, do you think your so-called Human Race can stop me?"
"Truly a fool's dream!"
That's right, the miserably imprisoned figure was Shaohao, one of the Five Emperors of the Human Race.
It was hard to imagine why Fuxi, the Emperor of Heaven, would imprison Shaohao, one of the Five Emperors, here.
Fuxi paused, then continued to sneer:
"Once I refine the authority of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, I will surely be able to prove the Hun Yuan realm."
"At that time, I will be invincible in this world, immortal and indestructible!"
"And the so-called Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors will cease to exist."
Hearing Fuxi's plan, Shaohao became even more enraged and scolded:
"You dare to dream!"
"Those who are not of our kind will surely have different hearts. We, the Human Race, appointed you as the supreme Emperor of Heaven, yet you wish to use the Human Race as a tool to prove your sainthood!"
"A beast is indeed a beast, forever untamable!"
It turned out that, just as Zhou Yuan had imagined.
Fuxi's becoming the Emperor of Heaven for the Human Race was not for the sake of the Human Race's prosperity.
On the contrary, it was all for Fuxi's own selfish desires.
He secretly plotted, intending to refine all the authority of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, absorbing their fruits of office to empower himself.
Then, with the vast destiny and merit of the Human Race, he could achieve the Hun Yuan realm in one fell swoop.
And this scene unfolding now was precisely Fuxi imprisoning Shaohao, intending to first refine a portion of the Human Race's authority controlled by the latter.
Upon hearing Shaohao call him a "beast," Fuxi's expression turned grim.
"Shaohao, you're still so stubborn even when death is upon you!"
As his voice fell, Fuxi waved his large hand, and strands of Karma Fire immediately surged out, enveloping Shaohao.
"Ah, Fuxi, when our Human Race's strong cultivators return, they will surely ensure you have no burial place!"
Shaohao roared!
This was not only due to the immense pain of being refined but also the boundless hatred and resentment in his heart.
Although imprisoned in Huoyun Palace, Shaohao could still sense the earlier actions of Yi Zi and Fang Yun, as well as Zhou Qing and others fighting for the Human Race.
Therefore, he eagerly awaited the return of the Human Race's strong cultivators to suppress Fuxi and reclaim their authority.
"Hmph, by then, I will have already achieved the Saintly position."
"Even if Zhou Qing and the others return, what can they do?!"
Fuxi remained unmoved, his expression growing colder than ice.
Then, without further ado.
In Huoyun Palace, only the surging, blazing Karma Fire could be heard, accompanied by piercing and terrifying screams.
One could imagine the immense suffering of having the fruit of office of one of the Five Emperors deeply stripped and refined.
Meanwhile, in the Primordial World!
"Now that the Sacred Court of the Human Race has been established, what should we do?"
"Should we continue to obey Fuxi's orders?"
Four figures gathered, namely Taihao, Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, and Zhuanxu.
They were the other four of the Human Race's Five Emperors.
It was Taihao who spoke, inquiring of the other three.
In fact, as the Five Emperors of the Human Race, born from within the Human Race, they had always disdained Fuxi, who was an outsider.
Moreover, Fuxi's previous act of sending people to coerce Yi Zi and Fang Yun had completely exhausted the Human Race's goodwill towards him.
Therefore, Shaohao, Emperor Yan, and the others now turned their gaze toward the newly established Sacred Court of the Human Race.
Upon hearing Taihao's words, Emperor Yan, Emperor Huang, and Zhuanxu remained silent, lost in thought.
After all, Fuxi was the Heavenly Emperor of the Human Race recognized by the Heavenly Dao. If they were to defect to the Sacred Court of the Human Race, the implications would be immense.
Just then, Zhuanxu's expression shifted, and he asked with confusion:
"The Five Emperors are gathered here, why hasn't Shaohao appeared yet?"
Hearing Zhuanxu's words, they looked at each other.
That's right, Shaohao should have arrived long ago.
Yet, at this moment, there was still no trace of him.
Emperor Huang pondered, then began to deduce the heavenly secrets.
The Five Emperors had a mysterious connection.
Therefore, after a moment, Emperor Huang's expression changed.
"Shaohao is actually in Huoyun Palace?"
He raised an eyebrow, quite puzzled.
Before Shaohao and the others could ask, Emperor Huang continued:
"Under my perception, why is Shaohao's aura so weak, as if he is about to perish?"
Upon hearing this, the other three's faces changed drastically!
It was known that the Five Emperors bore the destiny of the Heavenly Dao and had endless lifespans.
They could be considered a form of immortal and indestructible existence!
Therefore, Shaohao's weak aura must mean he had fallen into some desperate situation.
"Huoyun Palace? Could it be that Fuxi has made a move against Shaohao?"
