Chapter 13: The Yuan Clan of Beihai? A mountain of merit, yet Zhunti regrets it.
The period of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was a crucial time for the transformation of humanity.
Aside from the struggle for the title of Emperor and Yu the Great's flood control, the others all relied on seizing opportunities by chance.
Now that Houtu has become our backer, we must make proper plans when humanity is born!
"Real or fake pout!"
Upon hearing this, the black tortoise's large eyes widened, and its breathing became heavy.
Chen Fusheng smiled faintly, transformed into human form, and put his hands behind his back: "Of course it's true!"
"Senior Xuan Turtle, do this first... then this... and finally this!"
"I will definitely be able to live a second life!"
"Good, good, good!" Xuan Gui nodded repeatedly as he listened to Chen Fusheng's telepathic message.
next moment.
Chen Fusheng retrieved the Netherworld Decree and the Mirror of Karma.
Beihai Xuan Gong looked up at the sky and said loudly:
"I am the Black Tortoise of the North Sea. I am deeply saddened by the collapse of the Great Zhou Pillar, which caused the sky to tilt to the northwest and the earth to sink to the southeast, bringing calamity to all living beings."
"If this continues, the primordial world may return to chaos."
"Today, I, the Black Tortoise of the North Sea, am willing to relinquish my cultivation, sever my four limbs, and transform them into four pillars supporting the heavens!"
"May Heaven and Earth bear witness!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the North Sea Black Tortoise disregarded the consequences, channeled all its power, and severed its own limbs.
Instantly, the body of the North Sea Black Tortoise trembled violently.
The humans, who had lived on his tortoise shell for hundreds of thousands of years, suddenly felt as if the sky had fallen.
"Please, young friend, save these humans." A glint of shrewdness and reluctance flashed in the eyes of the North Sea Black Tortoise.
"That's how it should be." Chen Fusheng nodded.
Then, it transformed into a dragon-shaped body and flew directly onto the back of the tortoise, which resembled a giant island.
"Immortal, please, Immortal, save me!"
A black dragon appeared in the sky, and hundreds of thousands of humans hurriedly cried for help.
One of the leaders, a burly man wearing a polar bear skin, even knelt down and kowtowed, saying:
"If the immortal saves my people, my Yuan clan will pray for your well-being for generations to come!"
"The Yuan family?" Chen Fusheng's eyes lingered in thought.
Moreover, judging from his appearance, this burly man seems to be the leader of these hundreds of thousands of people.
So he said, "In that case, I will send you to the North Sea to recuperate."
As soon as he finished speaking, streams of pure magical power enveloped hundreds of thousands of humans and flew towards the North Sea.
"Thank you for saving our lives, Immortal!" The burly man hurriedly led hundreds of thousands of humans to kneel in the void, kowtowing repeatedly.
Seeing that he was about to leave the frigid and icy northern region completely, the burly man surnamed Yuan hurriedly asked in a loud voice:
"May I ask your Taoist name, Immortal?"
"We should also erect a statue of the immortal and worship it for generations to come!"
Just then, a faint voice came: "This humble Taoist... Fusheng!"
As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of thousands of humans had already landed on the land of the North Sea.
"Thump, thump, thump!" The burly Yuan clansman, along with hundreds of thousands of his kinsmen, kowtowed once more.
We, the people of the North Sea, will remember the Dharma name of the Immortal Fusheng!
"Beihai, the Yuan family?" Chen Fusheng wondered to himself, "Could this be the ancestor of Yuan Futong of Beihai in the original story?"
In the original course of events, Yuan Futong of Beihai betrayed them.
This marked the beginning of the Shang Dynasty's demise.
From then on, the emperor replaced the people as kings!
Humanity, controlled by the Way of Heaven, has become a puppet.
"Never mind," Chen Fusheng thought to himself, "I'll just have to play it as a hidden move anyway."
"Let's see how long the bullets fly."
As the oath of the North Sea Black Tortoise was uttered, the heavens and earth responded with a violent roar.
All the great supernatural beings of the primordial world turned their gazes toward the Northern Darkness.
Kunpeng, in particular, is the closest.
"That's... a dark dragon?"
"Damn! What bad luck!"
Kunpeng quickly locked the nest and took it to the deep sea of the Northern Sea.
They were afraid of being tainted by even the slightest bit of bad luck.
"What is that dark dragon doing?" In the Eight Views Palace, Taiqing Laozi immediately saw the Netherworld Decree above the dark dragon's head.
"Could it be... that the Xuan Turtle's voluntary amputation of its limbs is related to the Earthly Branch Houtu?"
"Clad in scales and armor, a manifestation of misfortune, how dare it covet the power to support the heavens?"
On Mount Kunlun, Yuqing Yuanshi sat high atop the auspicious clouds of the heavens, his face full of dissatisfaction.
But when he saw the Netherworld Decree atop Huilong's head, he did not make a move.
After all, Houtu is now the ruler of the earth.
Although he had left the primordial world and his power had greatly diminished, Yuanshi did not want to provoke Houtu for no reason.
In any case, Dao Ancestor Hongjun has already instructed Nuwa to handle the matter of mending the heavens.
The fact that Nuwa's merits were stolen is also her fault.
Nuwa, who was using the Creation Cauldron to refine the five-colored stones to mend the sky, suddenly narrowed her eyes.
"Houtu actually instructed Huilong to plot the merit that should have belonged to me!"
However, it's too late now.
Rumble!
With the Xuan Turtle recklessly severing its four limbs to form four pillars of heaven, the deed was done and could not be changed.
Countless merits fell into the depths of the North Sea.
Of these, 70% fell into the already damaged body of the Xuan Turtle.
Twenty percent fell into Chen Fusheng's body.
The remaining ten percent was collected by Houtu in the Netherworld.
Although Chen Fusheng only achieved two merits.
However, it is also quite enormous; if all of these merits were used for cultivation...
They can directly break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, or even the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!
However, Chen Fusheng did not use the merits to improve his cultivation level, but instead absorbed all the merits into his body.
After returning to the Netherworld, he will refine the Golden Wheel of Merit to protect his body.
"Nothing's as reliable as adding some practice points for spiritual cultivation, even with accumulating merit!"
"Isn't this a clear indication of who's better?!"
...
At this moment, the Xuan Turtle, with the help of this immense merit of heaven and earth, broke free of its physical body, which was filled with evil energy.
Subsequently, the Xuan Turtle's physical body disintegrated, leaving only its most sturdy shell.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Gui, I'll keep your shell for you for now."
As Chen Fusheng spoke, he waved his hand, and the tortoise shell, which resembled a huge island, quickly shrank.
He was then taken into the Mirror of Retribution by Chen Fusheng.
Upon witnessing this scene, the Xuan Turtle's primordial spirit felt a constant groan of unease.
Just now, Senior Xuan Gui, his physical body is gone, only his primordial spirit remains, so let's call him Fellow Daoist Xuan Gui.
It even took away its own shell, causing the black tortoise to curse inwardly.
"Alas, how could I, a man of such wisdom, have believed this treacherous dragon's lies?"
"Now only the malevolent spirit remains; to be reincarnated, it must rely on this ominous dragon."
"It's so bitter, so incredibly bitter!"
The black tortoise felt cheated.
At this moment, Chen Fusheng felt that countless gazes of powerful beings were constantly converging on him.
If it weren't for the Netherworld Decree above his head, some powerful figure would probably have been unable to restrain himself and would have attacked him.
Without further hesitation, he directly used the Netherworld Token to connect to the Netherworld.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Turtle, let's go back!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he took the North Sea Black Tortoise back to the Netherworld.
"Waaaaah... It's so bitter, so bitter!"
Mount Sumeru in the West.
Zhunti wept bitterly, "Senior brother, how could I not have thought of that?"
"The Dao Ancestor said that Nuwa should mend the sky, but he didn't say that supporting the sky should also belong to Fellow Daoist Nuwa."
"If I'd known, I would have gone and gotten the four legs of the Xuanwu to support the sky..."
As he spoke, Zhunti shed a single tear of sorrow, which fell beneath the Bodhi tree.
Instantly, a small, slender Bodhi seed condensed.
