Chapter 154 The Mystery
Taishang recounted everything he knew about the Great Dao Ancestral Tree in one breath. Looking at Fuxi, who was filled with astonishment and had fallen into silence, he shook his head and said, "When I was just born, I personally witnessed the magnificent feat of the Great Chun Tree supporting the heavens and the earth in the Western Regions."
"This Great Dao Ancestral Tree has been kind to all living beings in my primordial world. Unless absolutely necessary, I hope you will not become its enemy."
"You're overthinking it. I haven't even met the other person yet."
Fuxi looked at Taishang, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and spoke to Taishang.
"I went to the Great Chun Domain to check how much strength the native major clans of the Western Regions still had, in order to prepare for the future invasion of the Western Sea Dragon Court into the Western Regions. Now that I know the origin of the Great Chun Domain, I have to change my original plan."
"With this giant Chinese toon tree here, it will be difficult for my Western Sea Dragon Court to advance into the Western Regions."
Fuxi's eyes flashed with thoughts. Although the Great Chunmu was severely injured and had not yet recovered, let alone be able to fight, even its consciousness could not remain in the primordial world for long. However, the Great Chunmu had previously dealt a heavy blow to the Seven Heavens Demon Palace.
"This shows that as long as Da Chunmu is willing to pay a certain price, he can still take action. However, this price is obviously extremely heavy for Da Chunmu as well. Otherwise, given Da Chunmu's status as the Great Dao Ancestral Wood, it would be impossible that he would have left several Demon Palace leaders unkilled."
"Your dragon clan hasn't even fully occupied the four seas yet, so it's too early to consider marching into the Western Regions. Besides, compared to the Great Chunmu, you should consider the Seven Heavens Demon Palace first."
The Supreme Celestial Venerable looked at Fuxi and gave him a reminder, as countless heavenly secrets surged into his eyes.
As for Taishang, Fuxi released the seal on some of the heavenly secrets on his body, so Taishang learned that Fuxi was now the Azure Dragon Emperor of the Dragon Clan, and also knew that the Azure Dragon lineage led by Fuxi had established the Western Sea Dragon Court and occupied most of the Western Sea.
There are still Xuanmen forces stationed on the Western Regions continent. Although Taishang no longer cares about Xuanmen's external expansion and other matters, deep down he still does not want the dragon clan behind Fuxi to have too much conflict with his own Xuanmen.
However, Taishang also knew that this was impossible. Fuxi was only one of the five emperors of the dragon race, not the dragon ancestor, and did not have that much power to decide on the dragon race's external expansion.
"When I consider the Seven Heavens Demon Palace, should I also take the Xuanmen (Mysterious Sect) into account?"
Fuxi glanced at Taishang, shook his head, and said, "With this great cedar tree here, it is impossible for the Western Sea Dragon Court to completely occupy the Western Regions."
"In the end, my Western Sea Dragon Court will only be co-governed with the local powerful clans of the Western Regions. Your Xuanmen sect doesn't need to worry about any major conflicts with my Western Sea Dragon Court."
"Co-governance, that's not bad."
Taishang nodded and said to Fuxi, "Then I will bring this matter up with Yuanshi. The Seven Heavens Demon Palace will be dealt with by my Xuanmen together with you."
Fuxi looked at Taishang and waved his hand: "You don't need to take action. My plan is to incite internal strife between Luo Hou and the Seven Heavens Demon Palace. Your Xuanmen can just watch from the sidelines for now."
Fuxi rejected Taishang's suggestion, arguing that internal strife within the demonic path would weaken its overall power.
If an external force were to get involved in the internal strife within the demonic path, then it would be inevitable that the Seven Heavens Demon Palace and Rahu would unite against an external force. Fuxi did not want to see Rahu take this opportunity to consolidate the internal power of the demonic path.
"It's good that you have your own plans."
Taishang nodded, not asking Fuxi how he intended to incite infighting within the demonic path. Since Fuxi was confident, he might as well let Fuxi try. In any case, even if he failed, it wouldn't pose any threat to Fuxi's life.
"There's one more thing. You entered this Mysterious Female Heavenly Gate before me. Do you know the true nature of this Mysterious Female Heavenly Gate? Is it a supreme treasure, or a special Dao Domain similar to the Origin of Time and Space, or the Heavenly Netherworld, that carries the origin of the primordial world?"
Upon hearing Fuxi's words, the expressions on the faces of Nuwa, Houtu, and Taishang all changed slightly.
After a moment of silence, Nuwa looked at Fuxi and said, "I don't know. So far, we can only sense the vast and boundless primordial essence of creation within the Xuanpin Heavenly Gate."
"Whether this Mysterious Gate of Heaven is the origin of the evolution of heaven and earth or a primordial treasure controlled by others, we do not know and cannot discern."
"Can't you tell the difference?"
Fuxi looked at the silent Taishang and Houtu, a hint of interest appearing on his face.
When Fuxi first saw the Mysterious Gate of Heaven, he initially thought it was a supreme treasure of heaven and earth. However, after entering the interior of the Mysterious Gate of Heaven, Fuxi realized that it was not a supreme innate treasure.
Even a supreme innate treasure cannot contain such a vast and boundless essence of creation. A supreme innate treasure is a treasure evolved from the origin of the Heavenly Dao, not the other way around.
It wouldn't be quite right to say that the Mysterious Gate of Heaven is a source of the Heavenly Dao, similar to a source of spacetime or a place where the essence of the Heavenly Dao gathers in large quantities.
Inside the Mysterious Gate of Heaven, Fuxi did not sense the entanglement and convergence of many great Daos of Heaven and Earth. There was only one Great Dao of Creation that occupied all of the void of Heaven and Earth. This was clearly not a characteristic of the Dao Domain evolved from the Primordial Heavenly Dao.
Furthermore, since there was no record of any information about the Mysterious Gate of Heaven in the Great Corridor of the Era, Fuxi became somewhat curious about the nature of the Mysterious Gate of Heaven.
Fuxi had no idea that Nuwa and the others had entered the Xuanpin Heavenly Gate earlier than him, yet they still hadn't figured out the true nature of this Heavenly Gate.
"I specialize in the path of the soul, it seems I will have to solve this mystery myself."
As Fuxi gazed at the vast emptiness around him, under the watchful eyes of Nuwa, Houtu, and Taishang, his figure slowly vanished, transforming into an invisible wave of soul energy that continued to expand and spread in the boundless void.
Fuxi created the five great spiritual roots. In the realm of soul consciousness, Fuxi can be said to be the strongest being in the primordial world, transforming his own consciousness into the purest information carrier.
Fuxi connected his consciousness with the eternally existing Great Dao of Creation in the vast emptiness, and the boundless verdant light feathers transformed into countless rays of light that fell and burned.
The moment his consciousness connected with the Great Dao of Creation, Fuxi felt an extremely heavy barrier blocking his way.
These barriers are also forged from a massive amount of primordial energy, but unlike the primordial energy that Fuxi could instantly refine and absorb, the primordial energy within these barriers seems to have been frozen in time and space.
No matter how Fuxi refined it, these primordial essences did not react at all, firmly blocking Fuxi's consciousness.
Seeing this, Fuxi did not force his way in, but instead once again collapsed his own consciousness, turning countless memories into pure information.
