Chapter 1054 - 501: Zhen Yuanzi Leads the Immortals! (Part 2)
Daoist Lord Yu Chen nodded calmly, accepting the supreme treasure symbolizing the highest authority of the Human Dao—the Kongtong Seal. He slightly bowed to his two elder brothers and then transformed into a clear light, carrying this Human Dao supreme treasure down to the Lower Realm.
At the Top of Mount Tai, the sea of clouds surged, ten thousand rays of rosy light shone, and auspicious energy flowed in thousands of forms.
Under the suppression of the Human Dao Sacred Artifact, the Kongtong Seal, and with the direct presiding of Daoist Lord Yu Chen, this unprecedented and historically significant grand封禅典礼 progressed smoothly.
At the moment when the sacrificial texts were fully read, the entire Primordial World was shaken.
Mysterious Heavenly Dao, Earth Dao which bears all things with its virtue, and the grand momentum of the Human Dao together descended infinite Merit Golden Clouds, dyeing the entire Mount Tai into a brilliant sea of gold.
Out of the vast Merit Golden Cloud, Shennong casually took a portion and, with Supreme Magical Power, forged on the spot a nine-legged cauldron engraved with all creatures and plants, this was the Shennong Cauldron.
The Jie Sect immortals, who had contributed greatly to the development of the Human Dao, also shared a portion of the merit. Their aura, thus, became more harmonious and profound.
The remaining merit, forty percent of it, transformed into sweet rain, blessing those Ten Thousand Races Gods who protected Human Dao and coexisted and prospered with the Human Race.
The last and also the largest portion of merit, another forty percent, then transformed into billions of beams of light, flying to every corner of the Primordial World, integrating into the bodies of the Infinite Creatures, awakening wisdom in all beings and dispelling all diseases.
Thus, Shennong's achievements in teaching agriculture and medicine by tasting hundreds of herbs were immortalized, having finally fulfilled his merit.
For a time, between heaven and earth, within the ten thousand races, regardless of location or level of cultivation, all sincerely celebrated and praised the holy name of this Earth Emperor.
Above the Nine Heavens, celestial music surrounded, heavenly flowers fell in disorder, countless immortal gods appeared densely in the clouds like stars worshiping.
The Taiwei Gods, personally led by the current Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian, also arrived on dragon-phoenix carriages to witness the ceremony.
Just as the ceremony was about to conclude, at the solemn moment of universal celebration,
only to hear Hao Tian and the Taiwei Gods bowing towards the Top of Mount Tai, emitted a thunderous sound of respectful invitation.
"We respectfully invite Central Heaven Purple Star, Southern Flame Emperor Shennong the Great, to return to position!"
The Shennong at the Top of Mount Tai heard this and laughed freely. He raised his hand and lightly pushed that Emperor's Crown, symbolizing the authority of the Human Emperor, into the sky.
Only to see above the Pingtian Crown, boundless red divine light soaring, in the air, forming an awe-inspiring figure standing between heaven and earth, exuding immense Divine Power.
In his left hand, he held the radiant Wisdom Shennong's Materia Medica, in his right hand, he grasped a Red Whip imbued with the breath of countless plants, and under his feet, he firmly stood on the newly crafted Shennong Cauldron.
His body was clad in a robe of scarlet light reaching to the heavens, a crown of nine red clouds above his head, and at his waist hung a Supreme Dao Seal engraved with "Nocturnal Genuineness", his presence was exceptionally divine, and his emperor's might was vast.
"Hahaha! Thank you, fellow Daoists, for coming to welcome!"
The Flame Emperor let out a hearty laugh to the sky, paying a distant salute to Hao Tian and the gods, then led more than 7,700 awaited immortal gods, riding the sky full of red clouds, ascending to heaven.
The Shennong left behind shed the dignity of the Human Emperor and once again took on the friendly appearance of a neighborly old farmer. He turned around and cast a gentle gaze at Xuanyuan and Chiyou beside him.
He observed their young, puzzled faces and slowly began to speak, "I know that you two have many doubts in your hearts."
"You must be wondering why I did not wait until you have fully determined a victor before bringing the final winner here to the Top of Mount Tai to hold the封禅."
A look of admiration and relief appeared on Shennong's face.
"That is because the stage you two need to compete on is much larger and grander than I imagined."
"The impact of the contention between you two far exceeds my initial expectations."
With his hands behind his back, Shennong's tone carried a hint of helpless amusement: "If I were to remain in the Human Realm, the future Human Dao Fortune would inevitably show a triadic balance."
"At that time, the pressure that your predecessor, Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi, would bear can only be imagined."
"Therefore, I must abdicate early, to go to Fire Cloud Cave and guard it together with him, to stabilize the foundation for the Human Dao's future."
Hearing this, Xuanyuan and Chiyou's expressions slightly changed; they instantly understood Shennong's well-intentioned plans.
The two exchanged glances, then solemnly bowed to Shennong, making a vow in unison:
"Rest assured, Common Lord, we both, regardless of future disputes, strive for the prosperous future of the Human Race and the flourishing era of the Human Dao!"
Shennong nodded with gratification, extending his hand to gently pat them on the shoulders.
"After I head to Fire Cloud Cave, this Pingtian Crown and Profound Jade symbolizing the authority of the Human Emperor will be temporarily placed in the Human Emperor Hall in Chen Capital, guarded collectively by the leaders of the Ten Thousand Races."
"When in the future, the Human Dao Fortune, through your contention, once more becomes unified, and when you truly determine the ultimate victor, then go to Chen Capital."
