But should he just give up?
Should he sit here and watch the Human Race be slaughtered!
Watch the Saints keep the Human Race in captivity?
Then what difference would there be between him and the Saints?
"System, I choose one!"
Lin Yang said.
He chose to accept the mission.
Immediately, two great treasures appeared before him: the Human Race's Luck Treasure, the kongtong seal, and the last of the Five Directions Flag—the Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Flag.
The kongtong seal, as the Human Race's Luck Treasure, could secure at least 30% of the Human Race's Luck for whoever possessed it.
This treasure wasn't particularly eye-catching now, as the Human Race hadn't yet become the protagonists of heaven and earth.
But once the Human Race became the protagonists of heaven and earth, this supreme treasure would become incredibly powerful.
As for the Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Flag.
There's probably no need to say more about it.
With this flag, Lin Yang had finally gathered all the Innate Five Directions Flags.
With the Five Directions Flag gathered, the Innate Five Elements Great Array could be set up.
The power of this Great Array could completely rival the Zhou Tian Xing Dou Great Array, the Du Tian Shen Sha Great Array, and the Zhuxian Sword Formation, these three peerless Great Arrays.
For example, Zhenyuanzi's Innate Earth Great Array could make many mighty figures hesitate and not dare to lightly offend Longevity Mountain.
And the Innate Earth Great Array was precisely a part of the Innate Five Elements Great Array.
One-fifth!
This makes it very intuitive.
A single Innate Earth Great Array is already so powerful.
What about adding the other four Great Arrays: the Innate Jia Wood Great Array, the Innate Fire Great Array, the Innate Geng Metal Great Array, and the Innate Ren Water Great Array?
These five Great Arrays, mutually reinforcing and restraining, when combined, their power would undoubtedly experience an explosive increase.
Therefore, the Innate Five Elements Great Array, set up with the Five Directions Flag, could absolutely rival the three great Formations.
...
Meanwhile, in the Thirty-three Heavens, Emperor Jun finally learned that the Soul and Essence Blood of the Human Race had a fatal restraining effect on the Physical Body of the Witch Race.
"This matter must not be publicized for now!"
After some thought, Emperor Jun said in a deep voice, "Taiyi, you and I shall make a trip!"
"Where to?" Taiyi asked, somewhat bewildered.
"First to Wa Huang Heaven, then to Shouyang Mountain!"
Emperor Jun rose and walked out of the palace, saying, "The Human Race was created by Empress Nuwa, and Laozi became a Saint by establishing the Human Teachings. To move against the Human Race, we must first consult these two Saints!"
Taiyi understood, and quickly followed Emperor Jun. The two displayed the escape light of the Golden Crow Transformation Rainbow, moving incredibly fast, flying towards the outside of the Thirty-three Heavens.
Soon, the two arrived at Wa Huang Heaven, but at this time, the Daoist temple was closed, and they were not allowed to enter.
Emperor Jun and Taiyi exchanged glances and had no choice but to wait. After a long time, a maid finally came out to convey a message, informing the two, "Your Majesties, the Empress says she knows everything about the matter you are pursuing and will not obstruct it, but merely hopes that Your Majesties will act with caution."
Upon hearing this, Taiyi's Face immediately flushed with anger, and he was about to speak, but was glared at by Emperor Jun, forcing him to hold back.
Emperor Jun thanked the maid, then bowed to the Wa Huang Heaven Daoist temple before pulling Taiyi away.
Along the way, Taiyi was still seething with anger, and indignantly said to Emperor Jun, "Big Brother, why didn't you let me speak?"
"Why argue with a woman?"
Emperor Jun chuckled, "Taiyi, you need to be more open-minded. Since we have already obtained what we want, what does it matter what she does otherwise?"
"But this is too infuriating..." Taiyi said.
Emperor Jun shook his head; how could he not be angry in his heart?
But things were different now!
Nuwa, having attained Sainthood, was a lofty Saint.
She had almost drawn a clear line between herself and the Yao Race, and the Heavenly Court.
Even if he was the Demon Emperor, he had little Face to speak of with Nuwa.
Especially this experience, it clearly illustrated this point.
This woman, though she had become a Saint.
Her character hadn't changed; she was still as harsh and ungrateful, even more so.
Although he had indeed suppressed Fuxi before, it was only a reduction of power.
As for other things, there wasn't much change.
This was something he, as a Yao Race Emperor, had to do.
Otherwise, if Fuxi's achievements overshadowed him, and the hearts of the Yao Race leaned more towards Fuxi than himself, then who would be the Yao Emperor, him or Fuxi?
It's just that women are short-sighted; they only saw him suppressing Fuxi, but completely forgot the favors he had bestowed upon them before.
Now that she had a chance to turn the tables, she wanted revenge, completely disregarding old ties.
"Let's go, we'll go to the Grand Pure Saint!" Emperor Jun sighed and said. His escape light flew through the Heaven and Earth membrane, returning to the Great Desolation, and continued flying towards Shouyang Mountain.
Taiyi quickly followed from behind.
...
Speaking of Shouyang Mountain, one must also mention a major event from several millennia ago.
That was the separation of the Three Pure Ones.
After the Three Pure Ones became Saints, especially after they each established their own sects: Laozi's Human Teachings, Yuanshi's Chan Teachings, and Tongtian's Jie Teachings.
With three sects on one mountain, and three sects in one place, many conflicts inevitably arose.
And because the doctrines of the three sects were different, especially Chan Teachings and Jie Teachings, they were like going in opposite directions, opposing each other.
Finally, at Laozi's suggestion, the Three Pure Ones separated.
Yuanshi remained on Kunlun Mountain, changing the original Three Pure Hall to Jade Void Palace.
Kunlun Mountain also transformed from a Holy Land for the three sects into a private Daoist temple for Chan Teachings.
Tongtian traveled far to the East Sea, where he encountered a giant golden Ao. On the Ao's back was an island, perpetually floating on the sea.
Thus, Tongtian established his Daoist temple on this island, building the Jie Teachings Daoist temple, named Biyou Palace.
As for Laozi, he chose Shouyang Mountain, establishing a Daoist temple on the mountain, named Eight Scenery Palace.
At this time, Emperor Jun and Taiyi arrived before Shouyang Mountain, but just like before at Wa Huang Heaven, they were given the cold shoulder again.
The two waited for a long time before a boy finally came out and informed them, "Your Majesties, my master bids me convey that the Human Teachings should not be extinguished. Please act with caution!"
Emperor Jun and Taiyi departed, returning to the Thirty-three Heavens.
Along the way, both of their Faces were incredibly grim.
Again, "act with caution."
What was there to act with caution about?
Emperor Jun harbored deep resentment. These Saints, one more aloof than the next, truly treated him like an ant?
To humiliate him in such a way!
Yet, despite this, Emperor Jun still swallowed his anger.
Upon returning to the Heavenly Court, Emperor Jun immediately issued an order to begin slaughtering the Human Race.
For a time, the Great Desolation changed color, the sun and moon lost their light, and countless members of the Human Race were pursued by the Yao Race, utterly annihilated.
The blood and Souls of the Human Race were collected and continuously sent to the Thirty-three Heavens.
Used by Emperor Jun to forge the divine weapon—the Witch-Slaying Sword.
From Mount Buzhou, Lin Yang looked out and saw that across the Great Desolation, except for the Witch Race's territory, the Yao Race was slaughtering the Human Race everywhere.
Facing such an overwhelming force from the Yao Race, the Human Race was no match at all. For a time, they were slaughtered, their wails filling the land, and endless resentment and Evil Qi surged into the sky.
Heaven and Earth seemed to darken because of this, and strong winds howled. Even the great powers from all sides dared not easily interfere in this matter, merely allowing the Yao Race to slaughter the Human Race, fearing to be tainted by Karma and drawn into the tribulation.
"Alas!" At this moment, Lin Yang's sigh echoed softly from within the valley.
