Under the "friendly" responses of Jialouluo and Mahu Luo Ga, Yu Yuan had already learned where the entrance to Fire Cloud Cave Cave Heaven was.

In just a brief moment, he had reached his destination.

From a distance, he could see a towering mountain peak shrouded in mist, resembling a serpentine dragon, exuding a mysterious aura. Waterfalls cascaded down the mountain, splashing like dragons plunging into the sea.

Halfway up the mountain was a bamboo forest, with the lush green bamboo like a field of jade, rustling crisply in the breeze.

The Fire Cloud Cave was nestled within this bamboo grove.

On the cave's entrance, the words "Chaoyun Mountain's blessed land, Fire Cloud Cave Cave Heaven" were inscribed.

From afar, Yu Yuan could see a tall figure standing at the entrance.

This person had a face as stern as iron, and in his loose brown robe, he stood upon the mountains, seemingly fused with heaven and earth. A slender belt was fastened around his waist, and as the breeze passed, his robes fluttered solemnly without diminishing his intimidating presence in the slightest.

His face was inscrutable, seemingly unchanging across the ages, yet containing profound wisdom and the vicissitudes of time.

At a glance, one could feel his towering and steadfast presence, like a pillar of stone.

At this moment, a group of immortals of the Human Race, some riding Exotic Beasts and some driving Auspicious Clouds, approached from afar. Upon reaching the entrance, they all dismounted and bowed, addressing the figure as "General Ying Long."

It turned out he was the legendary Ying Long, who once drove the chariot for the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

After the immortals entered the cave heaven, Yu Yuan stepped forward to offer a bow and greeting with a smile: "General Ying Long, Yu Yuan pays his respects."

Ying Long returned the salutation and asked with some confusion, "Immortal, you seem unfamiliar, may I know your Daoist name?"

"I am Yu Yuan, a Third Generation Disciple of the Jie Sect and a Primordial Chaos One Qi Immortal. I'm a disciple of the Golden Spirit Saint Mother and have now been favored by the Sect Hierarch, ascending to the rank of Vice Sect Hierarch of the Jie Sect," Yu Yuan introduced himself with all seriousness, then spoke earnestly, "I am sent by the Sect Hierarch on a mission to celebrate the birthday of the Great God Fu Xi."

He had come to ask for help and naturally needed to show sufficient sincerity.

Resorting to false identities to infiltrate could work, but was not advisable.

Moreover, since he was wearing the Vajra Bracelet and unable to utilize mana to change his appearance, he couldn't transform into someone else's likeness.

Hearing Yu Yuan's introduction, Ying Long's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at Yu Yuan's right wrist, immediately shrinking his pupils and said sternly, "So it is you, this demonic fiend!"

Yu Yuan's eyebrows raised slightly, looking at Ying Long with a half-smile, "It seems that the General is quite up-to-date with the news from the outside world."

"These past few days, every immortal who has come here has been discussing this matter..." Ying Long explained briefly, then suddenly realized, "Gah, I have nothing to say to a demon like you! Since you've come here to pay respects, I do not wish to engage in hostility with you, just leave promptly!"

"Ai—" Yu Yuan waved his hand with a smile, "General, please temper your anger and hear me out."

"The so-called matter regarding the outer-realm demonic being is purely baseless. The Sect Hierarch has already gone to the Zixiao Palace to plea on my behalf, and I am here also looking to seek an audience with the Great God Fu Xi to help clear up these misunderstandings... I hope you can relay my request."

"No matter how eloquent your words are, that Vajra Bracelet on your wrist cannot be faked!" Ying Long sneered, "If you are not a demonic being from the outer-realm, why would the Taiching Saint use the Vajra Bracelet to bind your Primordial Spirit?"

"I have said there is a misunderstanding..." Yu Yuan explained again, seeing Ying Long's scornful expression, and knew it was not going to work, so he turned serious and said, "I have old ties with the Great God Fu Xi, if you pass the message, he will surely agree to see me."

Ying Long looked at him coldly, snorted with amusement, and said, "Here you go again, first it's a misunderstanding, and now you say you are old acquaintances with the Emperor. You want me to let you in.

Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?

Having cultivated arduously for a million years, do you think I would believe such a blatantly flawed tale?"

Yu Yuan spoke earnestly, "What I said is utterly true, without any deception. If the General does not believe me, you are welcome to pass the message. Whether the Great God Fu Xi agrees to see me can be ascertained with a simple question."

Ying Long scoffed repeatedly, "If I help you pass the message, then I would be in the wrong regardless of the outcome! If you don't leave now, don't blame me for being rude!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuan could not help but frown deeply.

Even with his good nature, he could not tolerate such treatment from the other party.

"With all due respect, considering the merit you've acquired for aiding the Human Race's ancient sages in water control, I've spoken kindly to you, yet you remain unappreciative, forcing me to skin and debone you?"

Ying Long, too, grew angry at Yu Yuan's words and thundered, "You insufferable fool! With your mana sealed, how dare you be so arrogant! This is the Fire Cloud Cave, a sacred place of the Human Race, governed by the benevolent Three Emperors; what can you do to me here?"

"Boom!"

The reply to Ying Long was a palm, large like a fan, which lightly patted Ying Long's body.

"Pfft!"

It was as if he had been struck by an Ancient Divine Mountain, and Ying Long violently spat out a mouthful of blood, his vitality instantly withering away, unable to muster any immortal power.

"How dare you raise your hand here!?" Ying Long's eyes were filled with disbelief, "Aren't you afraid of enraging the three Saint Emperors, causing your spirit and body to be destroyed, and your millennia of cultivation to come to naught?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Ying Long felt a darkness before his eyes, and he was suddenly grasped by the other party.

Yu Yuan's left hand expanded dozens of times in size, gripping Ying Long firmly.

This was a show of a minor divine skill, and the Vajra Bracelet on his right hand immediately erupted with bursts of Dao Fire, entangling around his body like Order Divine Chains.

Although the fearsome Dao Fire was some distance away from Ying Long, the mere overflowing force of its attack was already unbearable for him.

Yet Yu Yuan, shrouded in the Dao Fire, seemed completely unfazed as he directly brought Ying Long to face him, smiling, "Now, let's see if I dare do something to you."

"You, you, you... there will be consequences—" Ying Long's complexion drastically changed as he shouted.

"Silence!" Yu Yuan interrupted fiercely.

Ying Long's "regret" word was forcibly suppressed back. His face flushed red, his eyes shooting fire as he glared at Yu Yuan, his body seething with a murderous aura, wishing he could chop Yu Yuan into meat sauce.

"What, you still want to fight me?" Yu Yuan glanced sideways at Ying Long. "I respected you for your merit, thus I have been speaking kindly to you, but this doesn't mean I will tolerate your insults."

Having said that, he loosened his grip and let Ying Long go.

"Now, can General help me pass the message?"

Ying Long had felt certain his life was in danger, and now suddenly regaining his freedom, he cared for nothing else, quickly sweeping his sleeves and turning to run.

As he ran, he started shouting: "Evil demons are rampant and disrespectful, everyone come quickly to aid me!"

"Turns out he's just someone who drives a chariot and guards the door, still not fit to step onto the stage,"

Seeing this, Yu Yuan snickered and directly strode in pursuit.

Passing through the cave gate, he entered a Small Thousand World brimming with spiritual energy.

Upon entering the Grotto Heaven, he saw Immortal Cranes soaring into the clear sky, and witnessed Divine Springs flowing, with koi fish frolicking among them. Countless peculiar flowers and Yao Grass sprouted, with Saint He Shou appearing and disappearing in dense forests.

Numerous auspicious scenes and various signs of good fortune.

The scenery inside was in no way inferior to a Saint's Dao Field like Penglai.

However, considering that Fire Cloud Cave Cave Heaven was the Dao field of three Human Path Saints - Heavenly Emperor Fu Xi, Earth Emperor Shennong, and Human Emperor Xuanyuan - it seemed normal to have such a scene.

After all, these three Human Path Saints also achieved Sainthood through merit.

They only became Human Path Merit Saints instead of Heavenly Dao Merit Saints like The Three Pure Ones and the other six Saints.

The three Human Path Saints made tremendous contributions to ensuring the Human Race remains the eternal protagonist of Heaven and Earth.

After attaining Sainthood of the Human Path, they have been presiding over Fire Cloud Cave Cave Heaven, continuing to stabilize the fortunes of the Human Race, while also making Fire Cloud Cave Cave Heaven into a top blessed land.

Any member of the Human Race with great merit and contributions would be invited by the three Human Path Saints into Fire Cloud Palace, granted a Heroic Spirit Body, directly becoming a Human Path Divine, enjoying the Human World's incense offerings.

Among the surrounding mountains, a luxurious palace towered, majestic and imposing.

The stone staircase at the palace gate stretched to 3,650 steps, covered with gilded Golden Flower tiles that shone brilliantly under the sunlight. The towering stone pillars on both sides of the gate were inlaid with agate gems, casting bright, stunning light.

Various types of Lingzhi and Immortal Herbs were planted along the way, releasing bursts of fragrance.

Upon entering the palace gate, one could see the Three Emperors Hall situated at the center.

Inside the hall, the golden walls and jade tiles were dazzling and intense.

In front of the hall, the Big Copper Tripod periodically wafted wisps of white smoke, full of Immortal energy.

At this time, many Immortal Gods were gathering inside the palace, huddling in groups discussing the Tao and the mysteries of the universe.

Just then, Ying Long ran in shouting and causing a commotion, drawing the attention of all the Immortal Gods who turned their heads in unison.

Upon seeing Yu Yuan behind Ying Long, suddenly "whoosh" ten or more Immortal Gods rushed out to stop Yu Yuan in aid of Ying Long.

However, these Immortal Gods could not withstand a single encounter with Yu Yuan.

Yu Yuan merely opened his mouth and blew a gentle breath, and this group of Immortal Gods were blown away askew, flying out in all directions.

This was still the result of him holding back.

Ying Long watched in a mix of shock and anger.

He had never expected that after donning the Vajra Bracelet, the other party could still possess such terrifying strength, defeating all those Immortal Gods with just a breath.

These Immortal Gods had followed the three Saints from the Wilderness to the present, all of them not only venerable in seniority but also extremely powerful in strength.

Yet they couldn't even withstand a single move from the opponent.

What kind of monster is this guy?!

"How dare you run amok in Fire Cloud Palace!" Ying Long took a deep breath and said solemnly, "The three Saints are supremely benevolent and magnanimous, but that does not mean you can act recklessly!

If you do not back down, the three Saints will no longer show mercy!"

Yu Yuan did not bother to respond to his words, instead looking around as if searching for something.

Seeing himself being ignored, Ying Long was immediately enraged to the point of steaming fury.

This was a humiliation he had never suffered since his transformation.

Just as Ying Long was about to open his mouth and scold again, all of a sudden, a gentle voice came from a towering grand hall in the distance: "Young friend, have you come here looking for me?"

"Mm? Great God Fu Xi!"

Upon hearing this amiable voice, Yu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "Junior indeed has important matters to see you for."

Fu Xi's voice followed promptly, "If the young friend has come to find me, then please come inside for a talk."

With those words, a Golden Avenue appeared beneath Yu Yuan's feet, lifting him and leading directly towards the towering hall in the distance.

Ying Long, standing aside, had already been stupefied and muttered in disbelief, "How can His Majesty possibly meet with this demon?"
