confirmed it was Saint Zhunti.
"I will personally discuss this with my sister. At worst, we can work together to deduce the Heavenly Secrets; we're bound to find some clues!" Emperor Fuxi said in a deep voice.
If you want no one to know, don't do it! As long as a scheme is carried out behind the scenes, there will inevitably be clues left behind.
It was not difficult for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Nüwa to work together to deduce the Heavenly Secrets, wanting to find the person who had conspired behind the scenes.
Chapter 128: How Dare You Scheme Against My Human Clan Like This?
Scheming against the Human Emperor was no ordinary matter. Even knowing it was likely Saint Zhunti's doing, the situation was far from simple.
One move affects the whole game, especially at such a critical moment as the Deification Ceremony; this matter required even more careful handling.
However, Emperor Fuxi had already promised to discuss this with Nüwa, which essentially meant he promised to borrow the Qiankun Cauldron from Nüwa.
For King Zhou, this was already enough. His original goal was the Qiankun Cauldron, not Saint Zhunti.
He was the one who had been schemed against, and this grudge naturally couldn't be let go, but Zhunti was, after all, a Saint.
Even if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Nüwa joined forces, at most they could only make Saint Zhunti lose some face; it was impossible to truly do anything to Saint Zhunti.
He would personally exact this revenge. Even if a Saint was immortal and indestructible, he could always make Saint Zhunti pay a sufficient price.
After all, for a Saint like Zhunti, there were always things more important than his own reputation.
"There's a second matter for my visit today. Just today, Nvba suddenly appeared before me..."
Since he had already mentioned Nüwa, he might as well bring up the matter of Nvba as well.
As long as they heard about this, with the wisdom of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, it wouldn't be hard to figure out what was going on with Nvba.
Indeed, upon hearing him say this, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's expression immediately became subtle.
"Although the Holy Mother wants to punish you, this matter is not the Holy Mother's fault either, and you don't need to worry about it.
However, although the Holy Mother did that, she couldn't have been scheming about Nvba's matter!" Human Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi said.
He truly didn't know about Nvba going to King Zhou, but because it was Nüwa's arrangement, he couldn't say much.
He could be certain that King Zhou could indeed resolve Nvba's problem; Nüwa wouldn't scheme with this matter.
But what gave him a headache was that while solving the problem, Nüwa must have had other schemes.
One didn't need to think to know that this matter was definitely directed at King Zhou, but his daughter was involved in it.
Speaking of which, his daughter was indeed a fated person; she had fallen to her current state because she had tried to help him back then.
He had also thought of countless methods and sought help from many people, but he couldn't restore his daughter to her original state.
Now, having finally seen hope in King Zhou, he naturally hoped his daughter could return to normal.
After much thought, the key to resolving this matter lay with Emperor Fuxi; only he could persuade Nüwa now.
"I will discuss this matter with my sister. After she knows the truth of the matter, she should not pursue it further!" Emperor Fuxi said with some hesitation.
He also had a headache at this time, because he wasn't sure if he could persuade his sister.
Logically, upon learning that someone had schemed against King Zhou, which led King Zhou to do such things in the Nüwa Temple, his sister should let King Zhou off.
But according to King Zhou, during this period, King Zhou and his sister had engaged in several remote magical duels.
Moreover, incredibly, in these few remote magical duels, King Zhou had actually gained the upper hand.
Based on his understanding of his sister, even if she knew the truth, his sister would likely not let the matter rest.
At that time, with King Zhou and Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan's daughter involved, who knew what would happen.
He could only try his best to persuade her, hoping his sister wouldn't act impulsively and make things unmanageable in the end.
"The last matter, which concerns both the Deification Ceremony and the Human Emperor, I have many questions in my heart, and I hope you can enlighten me..."
Compared to the previous two matters, the last one seemed very important, but it was actually not critical.
Regarding the Human Emperor after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and regarding the Deification Ceremony, he indeed had many doubts, but they were merely doubts.
He didn't need to guess to know that many secrets were hidden within, but these secrets were also not important.
Because he was now the contemporary Human Emperor of the Human Clan, no matter what had happened before, everything would be completely changed in his hands.
Previous Human Emperors could not Cultivate and could not achieve immortality, but he wanted to break this restriction and even surpass the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
Why did the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors know about the Deification Ceremony but did not intervene, instead allowing the Human Clan to be schemed against?
This was also only in the past; now he was the Human Emperor. Whoever wanted to turn the Human Emperor into the Son of Heaven first had to ask if he agreed.
Therefore, knowing these secrets was not important, because no matter what kind of secrets they were, they could not stop him.
The only useful thing was that by knowing these secrets, he could be more composed when dealing with future changes.
"When we knew you were coming to Fire Cloud Cave, we guessed you would have these questions, so let's discuss them one by one!" Earth Emperor Shennong said.
The expressions of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did not change. This was something they had expected; they would have found it strange if King Zhou hadn't asked them.
"The matter of the Human Emperor being unable to Cultivate and unable to achieve immortality, this was actually our collective decision, but it was also a reluctant decision..."
According to Earth Emperor Shennong, after the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had completed their merits, they collectively made this decision in Fire Cloud Cave.
While jointly suppressing the Human Clan Luck in Fire Cloud Cave, they were contemplating the future of the Human Clan, and thus thoroughly studied the former overlords of heaven and earth.
Whether it was the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin Clans, or the Witch Clan, they were all incredibly powerful once, but had all become things of the past.
Now the Human Clan Luck was flourishing, but one day in the future, the Human Clan Luck would inevitably decline, perhaps becoming like the former overlords of heaven and earth.
How to make the Human Clan remain the protagonist of heaven and earth for a long time, and minimize the decline of Human Clan Luck, was something they had to face.
In their view, all things should constantly change to continuously generate vitality.
If the Human Emperor could Cultivate, becoming an immortal would be effortless, and after achieving immortality, he would inevitably rule the Human Clan indefinitely.
They could not expect all Human Emperors to be like them, dedicating themselves wholeheartedly to the Human Clan and then abdicating after their merits were complete.
In fact, if the Human Emperor could achieve immortality, he would most likely rule the Human Clan indefinitely, and there would be no such thing as abdicating.
Of course, it was also possible for new heroes to emerge, defeat the corrupt Human Emperor, and establish a new Dynasty.
But regardless of whether there was a change of dynasties, a Human Emperor with a long Lifespan would undoubtedly cause the Human Clan to stagnate for a long time.
Only through continuous change, through constant dynastic shifts, would the Human Clan always maintain its vitality.
The Human Emperor being unable to Cultivate and unable to achieve immortality seemingly restricted the Human Emperor, but it gave the Human Clan infinite possibilities.
Of course, if a Human Emperor truly wanted to Cultivate and achieve immortality, as long as he didn't serve as Human Emperor, this problem could be perfectly resolved.
As long as one was not the Human Emperor, there would actually be no restrictions on either cultivation or immortality.
"Although I don't fully agree, I have to say that you all indeed have great foresight!" King Zhou said.
He didn't entirely agree with the approach of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, because in his opinion, there were actually other paths to choose from.
But it must be said that the approach of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was indeed very correct; it could indeed make the Human Clan the protagonist of heaven and earth for a long time.
However, everything has its pros and cons. While allowing the Human Clan to maintain vitality for a long time, it also limited the possibility of the Human Clan becoming powerful.
Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there have been many strong individuals in the Human Clan, but it has been difficult for them to unite around the Human Emperor as they did during the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors era.
Because the Human Emperor himself was just an ordinary person, with a Lifespan of at most a hundred years, how could cultivators submit to such a Human Emperor?
As a result, no matter how prosperous the Human Clan Luck was, it was actually just a scattered mess.
When facing the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky, the Human Clan had no power to resist and gradually became a tool for the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky to scheme for Luck.
But it is undeniable that perhaps precisely because of this, the Human Clan was able to survive, and the impact on ordinary people was not significant.
Ordinary Human Clan members had a Lifespan of only a hundred years; for them, things like the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky were too distant.
As long as they could live a hundred years without worries about food and clothing, and without disasters, ordinary people wouldn't ask for too much.
Sacrificing the possibility of the Human Clan becoming powerful in exchange for its continuation, it's hard to say who was right or wrong.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had to face Saints who were almost omnipotent; achieving this level was almost the limit.
After all, although the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were not Saints, they were better than Saints, but they were ultimately not true Saints.
Below a Saint, all are ants! Even if the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors joined forces, how could they be a Saint's opponent?
The choice of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was more of a helplessness; everything was actually for the continuation of the Human Clan.
"Your appearance was an accident, but it also showed us another possibility!" Emperor Fuxi said.
As the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, when they first saw King Zhou, they had already noticed that King Zhou clearly possessed cultivation.
Of course, this also had to do with King Zhou not hiding himself; he came this time precisely to be frank and open.
Within the Human Clan, if even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors couldn't be trusted, then it would be better to just give up and not even think about contending with the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky.
Seeing that King Zhou had cultivation, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were not too surprised; compared to the things King Zhou had done, this was nothing.
However, they were still somewhat surprised when they sensed that King Zhou's cultivation had actually reached the Profound Immortal realm.
How old was King Zhou this year? This was no secret. Even if he had cultivated from the womb, how many years had he cultivated?
Any Profound Immortal, which one hadn't cultivated for many years, or even for long ages?
Although the Human Emperor had the Human Clan Luck added to him, which made cultivation twice as effective, it wouldn't be this fast.
This also made them feel even more that King Zhou was not simple, and what Emperor Fuxi said was precisely their shared feeling
Before King Zhou, they felt that if the Human Clan wanted to continue, they had to make sacrifices. This was a kind of helplessness and also a kind of sadness.
But in King Zhou, they saw another possibility, a possibility for the Human Clan to become strong!
"As for the Investiture of Gods, you should understand that we are actually helpless. If the Human Clan is not destroyed, we cannot leave Fire Cloud Cave by half a step!" Human Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi said.
The Investiture of Gods should correspond to the change of dynasties within the Human Clan, which is naturally not a good thing for the Human Clan.
But what could they do? They suppressed the Human Clan Luck and couldn't leave Fire Cloud Cave by half a step.
Moreover, the Investiture of Gods only corresponded to the change of dynasties within the Human Clan, and its impact on the Human Clan was actually not significant.
No matter how the Investiture of Gods developed, the Human Clan would still be the Human Clan, and their status as the protagonists of heaven and earth would not change.
Just Great Shang and King Zhou, compared to the entire Human Clan, they naturally knew how to choose.
Of course, this was only in the past. In front of the current King Zhou, everything about the Investiture of Gods became uncertain.
"The Investiture of Gods is not as simple as it appears on the surface, nor is it just the 365 True Gods on the Investiture of Gods Ranking List..."
What he could confirm now was that even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors' understanding of the Investiture of Gods was superficial.
This was not surprising. Even the Saint Tongtian Cult Master didn't see the truth of the Investiture of Gods, so it was normal for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors not to see it.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors probably never expected that after the Investiture of Gods, the Human Emperor would become the Son of Heaven, and the Human Clan would completely become a tool for the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky to scheme for Luck.
But at that time, things were already set, and for the continuation of the Human Clan, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could only swallow this bitter fruit.
In this Fire Cloud Cave, he had no scruples. Even if he leaked some heavenly secrets, it wouldn't be a big problem.
After all, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors suppressed the Human Clan Luck in Fire Cloud Cave, and this was also the strongest place for Human Clan Luck.
In this Fire Cloud Cave, it was a place that even the Heavenly Dao could not control, so even if he leaked heavenly secrets, it wouldn't be a big problem.
"Calculating our Human Clan? They actually dare to be so excessive?" Earth Emperor Shennong said angrily.
Among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, Earth Emperor Shennong was considered the most gentle and good-tempered one. He was already so angry now, so it was easy to imagine how the others felt.
For the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, they could make sacrifices in exchange for the continuation of the Human Clan, but this was not without a bottom line.
Turning the Human Emperor into the Son of Heaven and letting the Human Clan become a tool for the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky to scheme for Luck clearly touched their bottom line.
If they didn't know, then so be it. When things were already set, they could only acquiesce.
But now that they knew about this in advance, how could they allow such a thing to happen?
Most importantly, the current King Zhou, King Zhou showed them another possibility, and also gave them infinite hope.
"As the current Human Emperor of the Human Clan, I will not allow such a thing to happen, so I want to have a good fight with the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky!" King Zhou said.
Telling this to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was not to ask them to do anything, and he never thought of asking them to do anything.
For the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, suppressing the Human Clan Luck was the most important thing; other matters would be left to him.
All he needed was the support of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, so he could fight the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky without any scruples.
"Go ahead and do it! If things really become impossible, what's wrong with us joining hands and walking out of Fire Cloud Cave?" Emperor Fuxi said.
No more words were needed. Being able to say such a thing was enough to prove the attitude of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
For the future of the Human Clan, and because of the current King Zhou, even if there were too many uncertainties in the future, they were unwilling to sit idly by.
And this also meant that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were entrusting the future of the Human Clan into the hands of King Zhou.
Chapter 129: Borrowing Treasures in Wa Huang Palace, Nüwa's Thoughts!
When leaving Fire Cloud Cave, Nvba did not leave with King Zhou, but stayed in Fire Cloud Cave.
Human Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi probably had many things to tell Nvba, and Nvba herself also had to go to Wa Huang Palace.
The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors could not leave Fire Cloud Cave by half a step, so the matter of meeting Nüwa could only be entrusted to Nvba.
As for whether Nvba could borrow the Qiankun Cauldron from Nüwa, the problem should not be too big.
After all, after understanding the cause and effect, and out of consideration for her brother, Nüwa should lend out the Qiankun Cauldron.
King Zhou had already returned to Great Shang. Since the Qiankun Cauldron was no longer a problem, he had to quickly speed up the progress.
The matter of collecting the essence of all metals in the world had to be completed as soon as possible. Once the Qiankun Cauldron was in hand, he would immediately begin refining two magical treasures.
This matter would probably require the Saint Tongtian Cult Master to personally act. He was indeed not skilled in refining artifacts.
Originally, Nüwa should have been the most suitable candidate. From mending the sky with stones, it could be seen that Nüwa's attainments in Artifact Refining were indeed extraordinary.
But being able to borrow the Qiankun Cauldron, he was already satisfied, and he really didn't dare to ask too much of the Saint Nüwa.
Just as King Zhou returned to Great Shang, Nvba also arrived at Nüwa's dojo, Wa Huang Palace, with a complicated expression.
She was indeed quite displeased with King Zhou, but she also held great expectations for him.
In her opinion, King Zhou was a bit arrogant and didn't take her, an elder of the Human Clan, seriously enough.
But to solve her own problem, she had to stay by King Zhou's side, and she naturally felt extremely displeased.
However, from her father's words, she learned many things she didn't know, and her mood became extremely complicated as a result.
She never expected that Nüwa asking her to find King Zhou involved the grudge between Nüwa and King Zhou.
She also never thought that her father would attach such importance to King Zhou. Was King Zhou really that remarkable?
Yes, King Zhou had indeed done many incredible things, but those were the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!
As the ancestors of the Human Clan, which of the things the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had done was not earth-shattering?
Even if King Zhou was very unusual, could he really be compared with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors?
But the facts told her that the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors indeed attached great importance to King Zhou, and it was a kind of importance she had never seen before.
No matter how hard it was to believe, her view of King Zhou still changed unconsciously.
All the way to Wa Huang Palace, Nüwa seemed to know she was coming, and the gate of the dojo had quietly opened.
Under the guidance of a child attendant, she quickly met the Saint Nüwa in Wa Huang Palace.
"You're not with King Zhou, so why have you come to Wa Huang Palace at this time?" Nüwa inquired.
According to her arrangement, Nvba should be inseparable from King Zhou to solve her own problem.
To save Face, she had prepared a surprise for that little fellow King Zhou, and the key was Nvba.
Logically speaking, Nvba should have just met King Zhou at this time, so why would she come to Wa Huang Palace now?
Could it be that after Nvba met King Zhou, something unexpected happened, which made her come to see her?
This made her a little curious about what kind of trick that little fellow King Zhou would play this time.
After all, with King Zhou's wisdom, after seeing Nvba, it shouldn't be difficult for him to guess that this was her doing.
"Reporting to Holy Mother, I came here at the behest of Emperor, to report something to Holy Mother in person..."
Hearing this, Nüwa's expression became serious. The matter involved her brother, so she had to take it seriously.
Next, as Nvba recounted how King Zhou was schemed against, her expression became more and more solemn.
If someone else had said this, she naturally wouldn't have easily believed it, but the one who said this was her brother.
Since her brother had sent Nvba to Wa Huang Palace, this matter was most likely true, and she had to believe it.
"Good! Good! Good! Scheming against the Human Emperor is already audacious, but I didn't expect them to dare to scheme against me!" Nüwa said angrily.
If King Zhou was truly schemed against and only then did such a thing in Nüwa Temple, then what was she?
Anyone who knew they had been schemed against and kept in the dark for so long would probably be so enraged.
After all, while scheming against King Zhou, she was also schemed against, and she was played for a fool.
King Zhou inscribing lewd and suggestive poems in Nüwa Temple had already spread throughout heaven and earth, and she had become a laughingstock because of it, losing all Face.
The key was that she had fallen into someone else's scheme without knowing it, and vented her anger on King Zhou.
Yet, her various methods had not worked, and instead, she had been defeated several times by King Zhou. What was this?
She, a dignified Saint, being toyed with like this, the person behind it was probably still watching her as a joke.
Thinking of this, even though she was a Saint, she felt a suffocating anger in her chest at this moment, and her eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.
Too much! This is simply too much!
No matter who was scheming behind the scenes, this grudge was irreconcilable. If she didn't take revenge, how could she still call herself a Saint?
"Reporting to Holy Mother, according to King Zhou, and the joint judgment of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, this matter is most likely the work of Saint Zhunti!" Nvba said.
A Saint's rage could destroy heaven and earth. Feeling Nüwa's anger, she involuntarily became fearful.
In fact, when she first learned of this, she was also startled, as this matter was simply too astonishing.
Conspiring to scheme against the Human Emperor was already an unimaginable thing, let alone also conspiring to scheme against a Saint.
Once this matter was exposed, there was no need to think; it would definitely be an earth-shattering major event.
"Zhunti? So it was him? Indeed, it could only be him!" Nüwa said in a deep voice.
This matter was not complicated. There were only a few people who had the ability to scheme against her behind the scenes without her knowing.
Even if she only used the process of elimination, she could guess who it was. Saint Zhunti was undoubtedly the most suspicious one.
And for her, having a suspect was enough. She didn't really need any evidence
"Holy Mother, this time, Senior Fuxi also instructed me to borrow the Qiankun Cauldron!" Nvba said.
She could still feel Nüwa's anger, and couldn't help but become more cautious when speaking.
However, the task Fuxi had given her was not yet complete, so she could only brace herself and continue.
In her opinion, since Fuxi himself had spoken, borrowing the Qiankun Cauldron shouldn't be a big deal.
"Borrow the Qiankun Cauldron? What does my brother need this treasure for?" Nüwa asked, quite puzzled.
There was naturally no problem with borrowing the Qiankun Cauldron, especially since her brother had personally asked; she naturally wouldn't disregard her brother's wishes.
It was just that what made her a little strange was why her brother would borrow the Qiankun Cauldron at this time.
One must know that after realizing she had been schemed against, she was preparing to go settle scores with the Saint Zhunti.
The Qiankun Cauldron was a supreme treasure, its power was formidable, and it was very important for battles between Saints; her brother wouldn't be unaware of this.
"This matter is related to King Zhou. King Zhou wants to borrow the Qiankun Cauldron to refine two Magic Treasures…"
Nvba hurriedly explained King Zhou's idea of refining Magic Treasures to solve the Undying Volcano and Sea Eye problems.
When she first heard about this, she was so shocked she couldn't speak, and even lost herself for a period of time.
This matter was truly too earth-shshattering. What kind of places were the Undying Volcano and Sea Eye? They were places even Saints were helpless against.
King Zhou actually dared to be so reckless as to try and resolve these two hidden dangers, the Undying Volcano and Sea Eye?
No matter how she looked at it, King Zhou was being fanciful and audacious to an extreme degree, yet the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors seemed to agree with this matter.
Doesn't this mean that King Zhou's idea is correct? Is this matter truly feasible?
The thought that if this matter truly came to fruition, it would likely shake the entire world again, made it difficult for her to remain calm.
"King Zhou? King Zhou actually wants to solve the Undying Volcano and Sea Eye? His guts are truly not ordinary!" Nüwa said.
She knew even more clearly than Nvba what kind of existences the Undying Volcano and Sea Eye were, and naturally understood how difficult this matter was.
But since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors had all agreed to this, it meant that King Zhou's plan must have a possibility of success.
Moreover, the chances of success were probably not low. Otherwise, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would not have allowed this.
Nvba had spoken unclearly, only saying that King Zhou wanted to use the Qiankun Cauldron to refine two Magic Treasures to solve the Undying Volcano and Sea Eye.
But let alone two Magic Treasures, even if two thousand Magic Treasures were refined, they wouldn't be able to solve the hidden dangers of the Undying Volcano and Sea Eye.
This made her even more curious about how King Zhou intended to do it, to have such confidence.
As for whether to lend it or not, this question didn't need to be considered at all; she would definitely lend out the Qiankun Cauldron.
After all, her brother had personally asked, and she couldn't refuse her brother's request, so the Qiankun Cauldron naturally had to be lent.
Not only would she lend it, but for such an interesting matter, she also wanted to go and see for herself how King Zhou would solve the Undying Volcano and Sea Eye.
After all, King Zhou's blasphemy against her could be said to have been orchestrated by someone behind the scenes, so it wasn't entirely King Zhou's fault.
But in her several confrontations with King Zhou, it was always she who lost. She had to get her revenge for this, no matter what.
Thinking of this, her gaze converged on Nvba, her Face filled with a subtle smile.
"Holy Mother, I have already explained the matter. Please bestow the treasure, Holy Mother!" Nvba said, bracing herself.
She always felt that Nüwa's smile was a bit strange, even giving her a chilling sensation.
She didn't dare to stay in Wa Huang Palace any longer, only wanting to quickly take the Qiankun Cauldron and go to Chaoge City to find King Zhou.
Her father had sent her here with this very purpose, to have her personally deliver the Qiankun Cauldron into King Zhou's hands.
This way, King Zhou would owe her a favor, and naturally, he would help her solve her current problem.
"You can take the Qiankun Cauldron. Deliver it to King Zhou personally, and he will surely owe you a favor!" Nüwa said meaningfully.
Nüwa waved her hand, and the supreme treasure Qiankun Cauldron appeared, which she sent into Nvba's hand.
She also understood this principle; if this favor wasn't personally delivered by Nvba, how would her objective be achieved?
Chapter 130: West Qi Rebels Against Great Shang, Conferring Gods Begins!
"This is the Qiankun Cauldron? It doesn't seem to have anything special about it!" King Zhou said.
The Qiankun Cauldron was given to him by Nvba, but in his eyes, this supreme treasure appeared ordinary on the surface.
It had neither a powerful aura nor a mysterious feeling, just like an ordinary large cauldron.
Upon seeing the Qiankun Cauldron for the first time, he almost thought that Nüwa was deliberately playing a trick on him.
Although he had never met Nüwa, from their few remote clashes, he could tell that this was definitely something Nüwa would do.
However, upon closer thought, even if Nüwa wanted to play a trick on him, she shouldn't use such a method.
After all, he wasn't the one who borrowed the Qiankun Cauldron; nominally, it was Fuxi who borrowed it, so playing a trick on him would essentially be playing a trick on Fuxi.
No matter how much Nüwa disliked him, she wouldn't joke with her own brother.
"Are you truly confident that you can completely resolve the Undying Volcano and Sea Eye?" Nvba asked, quite curious.
No matter how she looked at it, this was an almost impossible task, yet King Zhou seemed very confident.
She didn't know where King Zhou's confidence came from, but she knew that if anything went wrong, it would be a huge disaster.
Even though King Zhou was the current Human Emperor of the Human Clan, if there were any mishaps, he simply couldn't bear the responsibility.
"Whether I'm confident or not, we'll have to wait until the Magic Treasures are refined!" King Zhou said with a smile.
According to his guess, even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Lord of Heaven-Reaching Sect only thought he had a chance of success.
As for how confident he was, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Lord of Heaven-Reaching Sect actually didn't know, but they chose to support him.
This wasn't because the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Lord of Heaven-Reaching Sect were particularly optimistic about his plan, but simply because of the things he had done in the past.
After all, he had already proven his ability more than once, which was why the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the Lord of Heaven-Reaching Sect trusted him so much.
In fact, he himself wasn't very confident, because he didn't know if his idea could actually be realized.
This was, after all, a cultivation world, completely different from his previous world, and whether some things would work or not would only be known after trying them.
Now, the Qiankun Cauldron was already in hand, and the Essence of All Gold in the World had been mostly collected. Next was to begin refining the Magic Treasures.
The refining of Magic Treasures still required the Saint Lord of Heaven-Reaching Sect to act. This time, he didn't need to go to Biyou Palace; instead, the Lord of Heaven-Reaching Sect would personally come to Chaoge City.
Because the Essence of All Gold in the World alone was not enough; Human Clan Luck also needed to be condensed to refine two qualified Magic Treasures.
And to condense Human Clan Luck, there was naturally no more suitable place than Chaoge City. This was, after all, the current core of the Human Clan, where Human Clan Luck was most abundant.
A Saint's arrival required proper pomp, and King Zhou had long prepared everything in Chaoge City, quietly awaiting the Lord of Heaven-Reaching Sect's arrival.
However, before the Lord of Heaven-Reaching Sect could arrive in Chaoge City, a major event occurred within Great Shang, shaking the entire Human Clan.
West Qi had rebelled! Under circumstances that most people had not anticipated, West Qi raised the banner of rebellion against Great Shang.
Everyone could see that Great Shang was currently extremely prosperous, and King Zhou was an enlightened and martial King.
There had been instances of Lords of a State rebelling in Great Shang before, and the final outcomes had already made everything clear.
Moreover, Great Shang at this time was even stronger than before. The Human Clan Conferring Gods alone was enough to make Great Shang impregnable.
What was the difference between West Qi daring to raise the banner of rebellion at this time and seeking its own demise?
No matter how one thought about it, no one would believe that West Qi could pose any significant threat to the current Great Shang.
But even under these circumstances, West Qi still rebelled, and they raised their banner of rebellion with extreme fanfare.
On this day, a grand anomaly appeared in Xiqi City; not only did phoenixes cry, but Immortals also descended to the mortal realm!
News related to West Qi spread like wildfire, beginning to circulate within Great Shang's territory, and in a very short time, it spread throughout the entire Great Shang.
King Zhou received the news immediately and naturally knew what those rumors were about.
Actually, it wasn't anything new; it was still the same old trick, specifically used to deceive ordinary people.
Creating grand anomalies, such as the appearance of dragons and phoenixes or the descent of an Immortal to the mortal world.
All of this was merely to indicate that West Qi was destined by heaven, destined to flourish, and would replace the corrupt Great Shang.
In the past, this tactic was indeed very effective. Ordinary people, seeing such anomalies, would naturally believe them to be true.
But through his efforts, the current Great Shang was no longer the Great Shang of the past; the common people's Concept had already changed.
This could actually be seen from the feedback received from various parts of Great Shang; the current Great Shang was indeed different from before.
With the deliberate promotion by certain individuals, when the news of West Qi spread throughout Great Shang, the entire Great Shang remained calm.
It wasn't that ordinary people were indifferent to this matter; in various parts of Great Shang, many common people were discussing it.
But this could only become gossip for the common people after meals; it was far from causing a stir throughout the world, let alone putting Great Shang in peril.
In the eyes of most common people, the various anomalies appearing in West Qi could at most be considered strange occurrences.
No common person thought this was a big deal, nor did any common person believe that West Qi was truly destined by heaven.
All of this was naturally thanks to his actions over the years, which had changed the Human Clan's mindset.
He had killed many Immortals and Gods, and even initiated the Human Clan Conferring Gods. Even the Four Seas Dragon Clan and the Phoenix Clan had become the Human Clan's Luck totems.
Regarding Immortals and Gods, and legendary creatures, even the ordinary common people of Great Shang had long grown accustomed to them.
After all, after the Human Clan Conferring Gods, Immortals and Gods were no longer mysterious existences; the common people could even often see them.
Once the mysterious veil of Buddhas was lifted, they naturally weren't as unapproachable.
West Qi and their group clearly had the wrong idea if they thought they could use Buddhas to delude the Great Shang's common people.
However, while the common people of Great Shang might not take West Qi seriously, the ministers in the court could not ignore West Qi.
During today's grand court assembly, all the ministers were enraged, unanimously recommending to immediately dispatch troops to flatten West Qi.
Bi Gan and Grand Preceptor Wen Zhong, among other ministers, were particularly agitated, wishing they could personally lead the army to conquer West Qi.
He naturally understood the thoughts of Bi Gan and the others; this was a crucial moment for the implementation of the first five-year plan.
Great Shang was currently developing rapidly, with a bustling atmosphere in all regions.
According to the vision of Bi Gan and the others, Great Shang would surely reach a higher level once dragon tooth rice was fully implemented after some time.
At such a critical juncture, West Qi suddenly rebelled. Although no one believed West Qi could cause any significant trouble, it would undoubtedly affect the development of Great Shang.
With Great Shang's development hindered and the five-year development plan unable to be completed on time, Bi Gan and the others naturally wished they could immediately flatten West Qi.
What Bi Gan and the others said was actually reasonable; compared to the development of Great Shang, West Qi's rebellion truly wasn't much.
The sooner West Qi's rebellion was quelled, the less impact Great Shang would suffer, and perhaps the five-year development plan could still be completed on time.
But Bi Gan and the others had no idea that West Qi's rebellion was not an internal matter of the Human Clan, but involved the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky.
The moment West Qi raised the anti-Shang banner, the Investiture of Gods had officially begun, and this matter was no longer simple.
Logically, within the territory of Great Shang, with his Human Clan Luck condensed, his strength was comparable to the Jade Emperor Haotian. If anyone dared to rebel, he could suppress them with a flick of his hand.
But West Qi was different; it was certain that if he wanted to destroy West Qi, the Chan Sect would definitely intervene.
Although he had condensed Human Clan Luck and could exert his full strength within Great Shang's territory, the Chan Sect also had a Saint.
Therefore, he rejected the proposals of the ministers. For now, he had no intention of conquering West Qi.
It wasn't that he was truly afraid of the Chan Sect; even a Saint was not truly omnipotent.
However, he already had plans for West Qi. Destroying West Qi was not urgent, and temporarily keeping West Qi actually had its benefits.
As long as West Qi existed, the gaze of the Gods and Buddhas in the Sky would be focused on West Qi, and matters would be controlled within a certain scope.
Regardless, the Investiture of Gods would eventually happen, but the final outcome was not certain.
After all, once the 365 True Gods positions on the Investiture of Gods Ranking List were filled, the Investiture of Gods could be brought to a successful conclusion.
But as for who should fill these 365 True Gods positions, that was something that needed to be thoroughly discussed.
Since a confrontation was inevitable, he naturally wanted to control the situation himself and let it develop slowly at his own pace.
For this reason, West Qi had a reason to exist, but the direction of the Investiture of Gods calamity was destined to become completely different.
Moreover, and more importantly, he currently had no time to deal with West Qi; he had more important things to do.
The collection of the essence of all gold under heaven had been successfully completed, the Qiankun Cauldron was already in his hands, and all preparations were in place.
Compared to resolving the issues of the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye, West Qi was truly nothing!
Just as all preparations were complete, the Saint, Sect Master Tongtian, arrived as promised, descending upon Chaoge City amidst myriad phenomena.
When a Saint descends to the Mortal realm, there is purple qi coming from the east for thirty thousand li, heavenly flowers falling, and golden springs gushing from the earth...
Countless phenomena appeared. Compared to the phenomena in Chaoge City today, West Qi's phenomena could only be described as insignificant.
"I never thought you would borrow the Qiankun Cauldron so quickly!" Amidst the myriad phenomena, Sect Master Tongtian arrived.
Both collecting the essence of all gold under heaven and borrowing the Qiankun Cauldron were faster than he had anticipated.
However, the more this was the case, the more King Zhou's confidence could be seen, which made him look forward to what would happen next even more.
After all, the Investiture of Gods had officially begun, and at such a critical moment, King Zhou would soon give everyone a surprise.
If King Zhou truly succeeded, what expressions would those people have? He was already impatient to see it.
Just then, myriad phenomena appeared again, not inferior in the slightest to the phenomena when Sect Master Tongtian had just appeared.
"This matter is so interesting, I've also come to join in the fun. You won't be unwelcoming, will you?"
Chapter 131: Refining Magic Treasures!
Seeing the newcomer, Sect Master Tongtian's expression was a mix of surprise and oddity, while King Zhou felt a headache coming on.
To appear with myriad phenomena like Sect Master Tongtian, the newcomer was naturally a Saint.
And among the six Saints, there was only one female, so there was no need to guess who this person was.
King Zhou never expected that he and the Saint, Nüwa, would meet for the first time under such circumstances.
"King Zhou, the current Human Sovereign of the Human Clan, greets the Holy Mother!" King Zhou said respectfully.
He naturally wouldn't think that Nüwa had come on a whim; this was clearly something she had planned to do today.
What made him somewhat speechless was that Nüwa had given the Qiankun Cauldron to Nvba, yet she herself appeared at this moment.
Since Nüwa had planned to come all along, why did she give the Qiankun Cauldron to Nvba?
Although he quickly understood the profound mystery behind it, meeting Nüwa at this moment was still somewhat awkward.
After all, whether he was schemed against or not, he did inscribe lewd poems in the Nüwa Temple, and this matter was known to all.
What's more, in the subsequent few remote confrontations, he had even won against the Saint, Nüwa, a few times.
With the Saint's dignity damaged, Nüwa's appearance at this time seemed to bode ill.
"Junior Sister Nuwa, are you also here to join in the fun?" Sect Master Tongtian asked with a smile.
He was very clear about the matter between King Zhou and Nüwa, but he didn't know about someone plotting against King Zhou.
Therefore, in his opinion, Nüwa's intervention at this moment was probably to hold King Zhou accountable.
However, what puzzled him was that Nüwa's current appearance showed no sign of furious anger.
On the contrary, in his eyes, Nüwa's gaze towards King Zhou contained both curiosity and a hint of playfulness.
"This act will bring great merit to heaven and earth, so I naturally have to join in the fun!" Nüwa said.
The Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye were very important to the entire heaven and earth, but to her, they weren't that important.
Since mending the sky with stones, among the six Saints, she was probably the most detached.
Merit, Luck—these things that even Saints fought over, she disdained.
But she didn't provoke others, yet some people provoked her. Saint Zhunti was one, and King Zhou was another.
Of course, compared to Saint Zhunti, King Zhou's crime was not punishable by death, but repeatedly causing her to lose face still meant he couldn't escape punishment.
However, she was actually very curious about King Zhou, which was also why she came to see him today.
Originally just a mere Mortal, how could he do so many incredible things?
Undoubtedly, King Zhou was a special existence; even compared to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, he was still somewhat unique.
After all, the Human Clan was destined to flourish in this era, and the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were actually born in response to the times, a part of the Heavenly Dao's operation.
And King Zhou was originally supposed to be a foolish and incompetent ruler, destined to be the last ruler of a fallen dynasty, but now he was clearly not.
What kind of person was King Zhou? Not only could he continuously defeat her several times, but he could also change the heavenly secret?
"With the Holy Mother's intervention, it will naturally be foolproof!" King Zhou said with a smile.
He didn't care why Nüwa had come, but since she was already here, she naturally had to contribute.
According to Sect Master Tongtian, although Saints were almost omnipotent, there were still differences in their proficiency in various fields.
For example, Nüwa was extremely skilled in the art of Artifact Refining, far surpassing Sect Master Tongtian.
There was no reason for him not to use a better candidate, so in this case, he could only trouble Nüwa.
"Indeed! With Junior Sister Nuwa personally making a move, it will surely be a cinch!" Sect Master Tongtian said.
He immediately guessed King Zhou's intention and couldn't help but praise King Zhou's astuteness, which led him to say so smoothly.
Regardless of any conflict between King Zhou and Nüwa, this opportunity could perhaps resolve it.
After all, both the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye were great hidden dangers to heaven and earth.
If this matter succeeded, the Heavenly Dao would inevitably bestow boundless merit, which was an undeniable benefit even for Saints.
Having Nüwa personally refine the Magic Treasures was essentially delivering merit into Nüwa's hands.
Of course, if the matter didn't succeed, everything said now would be useless.
"Since that's the case, if I don't make a move, it would make me seem petty!" Nüwa said with a half-smile.
She was willing to act, not because she coveted that bit of merit. After all, among the six Saints, she was actually the one least lacking in merit.
Whether it was creating humans or mending the sky with stones, the merit she obtained was enough to make any Saint envious.
The reason she wanted to act was simply to see what King Zhou would do and to what extent he could achieve it.
Those were the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye, for which even she had no solution. What made King Zhou so confident?
This time, two Magic Treasures were to be refined, one for suppressing the Undying Volcano and the other for the Sea Eye.
To say 'suppress' was actually somewhat inappropriate. According to King Zhou's concept, the greatest function of these two Magic Treasures was definitely not suppression.
Prevention is better than cure! If they approached it with the idea of suppression, this matter would be wrong from the very beginning
Therefore, in King Zhou's view, the greatest function of these two Magic Treasures should be to guide, to guide out the violent energy from the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye.
Thus, these two Magic Treasures must be incredibly sturdy; only sufficiently sturdy Magic Treasures can bear violent energy.
When King Zhou stated his concept, the two Saints, Sect Master Tongtian and Nüwa, looked peculiar.
To be honest, in their opinion, the Magic Treasure King Zhou spoke of was not only extremely complex in its structure, but there were also many things they didn't quite understand.
Saints are almost omniscient and omnipotent; let alone refining two Magic Treasures, they had actually seen most of the Magic Treasures in the world with their own eyes.
However, apart from being sturdy, the other structures of the two Magic Treasures King Zhou spoke of revealed a hint of strangeness everywhere.
It was only after they secretly deduced for a while that they gradually understood the actual function of these structures.
"What a brilliant idea! Such a structure can actually accomplish energy conversion!" Sect Master Tongtian said with emotion.
Energy conversion itself was not a big deal; Innate Spiritual Treasures each had their wonderful uses, some of which were even incredibly bizarre.
But this was the first time they had heard of such a strange method that could also achieve energy conversion.
"Judging solely from the concept, this matter indeed has a possibility of success, but there are still some risks!" Nüwa said.
After knowing the two Magic Treasures King Zhou intended to refine, she already knew what King Zhou was planning.
It must be said that, even in her opinion, this matter had hope of success, and it was no wonder the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and Sect Master Tongtian agreed to it.
The difficulty of this matter was not absent, nor were there no hidden dangers, but as long as there was hope for success, these things could be continuously improved.
From this point alone, King Zhou was extraordinary; King Zhou had actually thought of a way for something that even Saints were helpless about.
"No time to lose, let's refine the two Magic Treasures first, and then we can experiment!" King Zhou said.
Saints are indeed Saints; even for something they had never heard of, after a brief deduction, it was not difficult to understand its mysteries.
The scientific knowledge from his previous life, for Saints, was merely something they had not encountered, not that they couldn't understand it.
But precisely because of this, it gave him a bit more confidence; he originally wasn't very sure about this matter.
Now, with Saints endorsing it, it means the feasibility of this matter is still very high, which is actually enough.
Next was the stage of refining the magic treasures; Nüwa raised her hand and waved, and the essence of myriad gold actively flew into the Qiankun Cauldron.
At this moment, the Qiankun Cauldron finally displayed the splendor of a supreme treasure; its profound aura and grand presence were by no means comparable to ordinary Magic Treasures.
Nüwa's refining of Magic Treasures indeed presented a myriad of phenomena; King Zhou watched for a long time, but still couldn't discern any profoundness within it.
He couldn't help but shake his head inwardly, he was very sure that he indeed had no talent in the art of refining.
Since he had no talent, he no longer forced it, and regardless of how Nüwa refined the Magic Treasures, he began to ponder what to do next.
It wasn't that once the Magic Treasures were refined, they should immediately go to resolve the two hidden dangers of the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye.
This matter was not simple; a slight mishap, causing the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye to erupt, would greatly affect the Human Clan.
Before truly taking action, repeatedly experimenting with the efficacy of the two Magic Treasures and continuously improving them was the most stable method.
For three days and three nights, the Qiankun Cauldron stood above Chaoge City, and Nüwa had been refining the Magic Treasures.
If it were just refining two Magic Treasures, it actually wouldn't take this long; with the power of a Saint, it could be done in an instant.
But the Magic Treasures refined this time were very unusual; not only was their structure relatively complex, but they also needed to condense Human Clan Luck.
This was the result of the three of them discussing it together, because ordinary Magic Treasures simply couldn't bear the violent energy from the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye for a long time.
In fact, according to Sect Master Tongtian and Nüwa, even Innate Spiritual Treasures probably couldn't do it.
Only by condensing Human Clan Luck and suppressing it with Human Clan Luck could the two Magic Treasures be made eternally indestructible.
At that time, as long as Human Clan Luck was prosperous, it would mean the two Magic Treasures would be indestructible for countless eons!
If boundless merit could also be condensed, transforming the two Magic Treasures into Merit Supreme Treasures, then it would be foolproof.
Therefore, during these three days, not only was Nüwa refining diligently, but King Zhou and Sect Master Tongtian were also not idle.
Sect Master Tongtian was responsible for arranging layers of Formations within the two Magic Treasures, which was his area of expertise, so there was no difficulty.
However, according to King Zhou's requirements, Sect Master Tongtian needed to arrange a very large number of Formations, which would take some time.
As for King Zhou, he was condensing Human Clan Luck, transforming it into the Fire of Luck, to assist Nüwa in refining the two Magic Treasures.
Thus, with the combined efforts of the three, it took a full three days and three nights for the two Magic Treasures to be successfully refined.
When the artifacts were complete, the wind and clouds gathered in the sky, and a profound aura emerged between heaven and earth, indicating the extraordinary nature of the two Magic Treasures.
Chapter 132: It just happened?
The Qiankun Cauldron opened, and two Magic Treasures flew out, suspended in mid-air, appearing before King Zhou and the other two.
Though called Magic Treasures, these were actually two massive cities, with many strangely shaped buildings within them.
These were the Magic Treasures King Zhou asked Nüwa to refine; to be precise, they should be two power stations.
Of course, different worlds have different rules, and science and cultivation cannot be conflated.
But the general principles are similar, and the functions of these two Magic Treasures are actually similar to those of power stations.
Thermal power plants burn coal to convert heat energy into electrical energy, and hydropower plants are actually quite similar.
And these two Magic Treasures are responsible for converting the violent energy from the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye into usable energy.
Whether it's the Undying Volcano or the Sea Eye, both contain terrifying energy, so once they erupt, they will cause great disaster.
Instead of blocking, it's better to guide; instead of suppressing the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye, allowing their energy to become increasingly terrifying, it's better to utilize a portion of this power in advance.
Continuously extracting the violent energy from them is essentially giving the violent energy in the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye an outlet.
Thus, it would be basically impossible for the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye to erupt again and cause a major disaster.
However, setting aside whether energy conversion can occur, merely absorbing the violent energy from the Undying Volcano and the Sea Eye is not easy.
Precisely because of this, refining these two Magic Treasures is crucial; both the Materials and the refining process are different from ordinary Magic Treasures.
They gathered the essence of all metals under heaven, condensed Human Clan Luck, and were personally refined by Nüwa, a Saint, using the Qiankun Cauldron.
Such a Magic Treasure, even compared to an Innate Spiritual Treasure, would not be much weaker in terms of power, though it might lack a bit in profoundness.
However, even so, none of the three, King Zhou, had full confidence in whether these two Magic Treasures would work.
"Thank you, Holy Mother, for your assistance. Since the Magic Treasures have been successfully refined, why don't both Saints come along?" King Zhou said.
Now that the Magic Treasures had been successfully refined, whether they would work still needed to be personally tested.
If there were any problems, they could then consider whether to restart from scratch or to continue improving them.
The place they chose was the Undying Volcano; compared to the Sea Eye, it was safer here.
It wasn't that the Undying Volcano was safer than the Sea Eye, but rather that it was far enough from Great Shang.
Even if something went wrong this time, with two Saints intervening, the impact on Great Shang wouldn't be too significant.
Upon arriving at the Undying Volcano, Sect Master Tongtian and Nüwa, the two Saints, also saw Ancestral Phoenix.
However, Ancestral Phoenix was currently in a deep slumber, and King Zhou and the other two did not disturb her.
For the time being, before they were confident in resolving the hidden danger of the Undying Volcano, Ancestral Phoenix naturally couldn't have any problems.
"I didn't expect Ancestral Phoenix to still be alive; creation is truly miraculous!" Sect Master Tongtian said.
Even in the eyes of Saints, after Ancestral Phoenix used her body to suppress the Undying Volcano, she should have perished.
But creation is just that miraculous, forming the current situation where Ancestral Phoenix can continuously be reborn.
"To maintain a delicate balance in the Undying Volcano, this might very well be a form of Dao following nature!" Saint Nüwa said.
The Dao is omnipresent, manifesting in all things, and Saints have the deepest understanding of this.
In her opinion, the situation within the Undying Volcano might very well be a manifestation of a Heavenly Dao Law.
The reason Ancestral Phoenix was alive was probably just because her existence had the greatest value, which is why the current situation formed.
In other words, for heaven and earth, Ancestral Phoenix's life or death was actually not important; rather, it depended on whether Ancestral Phoenix had value in existing.
As for what Ancestral Phoenix would suffer as a result, how would heaven and earth care about the thoughts of a single living being?
"The Great Dao has fifty, Heavenly Manifestation has forty-nine; all things have a glimmer of life!" King Zhou said.
To some extent, he and Ancestral Phoenix were quite similar, both being living beings toyed with by fate.
Ancestral Phoenix was currently helpless, and in the original Investiture of the Gods, he, King Zhou, was equally helpless.
The difference was that Ancestral Phoenix couldn't escape her own fate, living and dying in the Undying Volcano, enduring countless years of torment.
And he, King Zhou, after a series of counterattacks, had successfully caused changes in the heavenly secrets.
But whether he could reverse his own fate and completely change the Investiture of the Gods was still hard to say now.
King Zhou and the other two did not go deep into the Undying Volcano, but instead began to test the efficacy of the Magic Treasures at the periphery of the Undying Volcano, specifically at the crater.
They placed the Magic Treasure at the crater, allowing it to absorb the violent energy escaping from the Undying Volcano.
The Undying Volcano was a world of flames, filled with terrifying heat; in King Zhou's view, this was essentially thermal energy.
Theoretically, absorbing thermal energy and then converting it should be able to transform it into other forms of energy.
The cultivation world was naturally different from his previous world; converting it into electrical energy would naturally be absurd.
But the cultivation world had its own energy; for example, cultivators needed to absorb the essence of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and moon, during their daily cultivation
