Although the Heavenly Emperor Hall looks magnificent and splendid from the outside, the interior decoration is extremely simple.

Besides the bedroom, there is one grand hall and a smaller hall.

In the grand hall, there are jade tables and jade stools, as well as a five-stringed jade zither, and a jade table with a dragon and phoenix carving.

The small hall is a chess room, with a jade table that holds a chessboard; the black pieces are made of jade, while the white ones are made of ivory.

On usual days, after playing the zither, Fu Xi would go to the small hall and practice with the chessboard.

When Yu Yuan had nothing better to do, he would often come over to play chess with him.

Apart from this, the two would occasionally chat and share their respective views on cultivation and more.

As a Qi Refining Practitioner and a direct disciple of the Jie Sect, Yu Yuan was extremely proficient in various miscellaneous studies such as arrays, alchemy, and artifact refining. Adding to this, his deep insights during his nightly dreams that spanned thousands of years made his understanding of the Dao particularly profound.

Fu Xi, having been an innate divine being and later the Human Emperor, was also highly proficient in various Daoist laws and had his unique comprehension.

The two would express their own opinions when together, discussing and debating Daoism; they enjoyed each other's company quite a bit.

In this manner, after several days, the worries and pressures in Yu Yuan's heart gradually dissipated.

...

Outside the Fire Cloud Palace, Ying Long was shocked to see Yu Yuan being taken into the Heavenly Emperor Hall.

The Heavenly Emperor Hall was not a place just anyone could enter.

With no other options, he turned and went to another palace to ask for an audience with the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.

Hearing that Yu Yuan, who recently caused quite a stir as a foreign demon, came to the Fire Cloud Palace and even entered the Heavenly Emperor Hall, Human Emperor Xuanyuan was also surprised.

After a moment of contemplation, he instructed Ying Long to leave and then lit a stick of incense, placing it in a bronze tripod.

The next moment, in the far distant Peach Blossom Spring of the Nine Immortals Mountain, Guang Chengzi, who was meditating in his cave mansion, suddenly felt a premonition.

He opened his eyes, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Is the Human Emperor summoning me?"

Immediately, his Primordial Spirit left his body and vanished from the spot.

His Primordial Spirit traveled immense distances in an instant.

After just a few days, Guang Chengzi had already arrived in front of Human Emperor Xuanyuan and bowed, saying, "Your humble Daoist greets the Emperor, may I know why I have been summoned?"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan also bowed and addressed him reverently as "teacher."

When he was the Human Emperor, he had once sought teachings from Guang Chengzi, who he honored as his teacher and had received from him the "Jade Pure Fetus Nourishing Scripture." Therefore, he held high respect and reverence for the Chan Sect.

Even though he later ascended to be the Saint Emperor of the Human Path due to his great merits in uniting the Human Race, his respect for Guang Chengzi remained.

At this moment, prompted by Guang Chengzi's inquiry, Human Emperor Xuanyuan began explaining the situation regarding Yu Yuan's arrival.

...

After listening to Human Emperor Xuanyuan, Guang Chengzi's eyebrows knitted tighter, deep in thought.

It was truly a blessing in disguise; without any effort, Yu Yuan himself came knocking on the door!

This was indeed a godsend opportunity!

Currently, he was facing a life-and-death ordeal, with a breakthrough imminent. If he could eliminate Yu Yuan, he would have complete confidence in breaking through the shackles and entering the realm of Daluo Golden Immortal.

As for this place being the Fire Cloud Palace, the territory of the Three Emperors of the Human Race...

That was not something he needed to consider.

With the capabilities of his backing mentor, it seemed unlikely that he would care about the Three Emperors.

Besides, it's not like he was asked to take action personally.

With this thought, he raised his head and seeing that the Human Emperor Xuanyuan was still waiting for his response, he smiled and said, "This is destiny!"

"Oh?"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan's eyes sparkled, pretending to be puzzled, "I beg the venerable teacher to enlighten me."

Guang Chengzi nodded and spoke eloquently.

"Yu Yuan, this demon has hidden his identity and sneaked into the Jie Sect. Had it not been for my master, the Yuqing Saint, who saw through his Heavenly Demon True Body, who knows how long he could have continued to hide. Clearly, he has ambitious and malicious intentions, which will certainly make him a great enemy of our Xuanmen in the future!

Today, he has himself come to us. Is this not a blessing from heaven?

It is a great opportunity to eliminate him in order to avoid future troubles!"

Hearing this, Human Emperor Xuanyuan hesitated, "After all, he is a guest of the Heavenly Emperor, isn't it inappropriate to move against him rashly?"

Guang Chengzi knew what he was worried about and said with a smile, "Times have changed."

"If he was still the Vice Sect Hierarch of the Jie Sect, naturally we should not act rashly, but now he is an evil demon from beyond our domain. With a decree from the Taoist Ancestor, everyone has the right to eliminate him!

Now, this evil demon infiltrating the Fire Cloud Palace must have ill intentions; as the Saint Emperor of the Human Race, how can you ignore this?

Regarding the Heavenly Emperor, we are also considering the safety of all beings in Primordial. I believe he will not blame us."

Upon saying this and seeing that Human Emperor Xuanyuan still appeared hesitant, he added fervently, "If Your Majesty worries about how to explain this, I can return and report to my master so that he might personally request Your Majesty's assistance… Yet, who knows when this demon might stealthily flee.

If we miss this opportunity and he escapes, it might become very difficult to find him again."

"This…"

Human Emperor Xuanyuan was still hesitant, "This matter involves the Heavenly Emperor, and we must treat it with caution. If this leads to division within the Human Race and causes unrest, it could have a significant impact on the whole Human Race."

Upon hearing these words, Guang Chengzi slightly shook his head, "Your Majesty need not worry too much."

He said calmly: "The execution of the demon is a decree personally issued by the Taoist Ancestor, passed on by the Nuwa Saint through my master Yuanshi Tianzun and Taiching Saint. Why should Your Majesty have too many concerns?

I suspect that Fu Xi Heavenly Emperor has merely been deceived by the demon's cunning words, and what is needed now is for Your Majesty to stand up and rally the Divine Beings of the Fire Cloud Palace to exterminate the outsider demon!"

Upon saying this, fearing that Human Emperor Xuanyuan might still decline, he added another line.

"What I have said is also the intent of the Yuxu Palace, what else might Your Majesty be worried about?"

Hearing this last sentence, the concerned expression on Human Emperor Xuanyuan's face finally eased, and he nodded with a smile: "If it is the decree of the Yuxu, then I will fully cooperate. Please, Master, wait for a moment."

Guang Chengzi secretly curled his lip, realizing he had been drawn into the other party's tactic.

Initially, he intended to use the other party, but now it turned into the decree of Yuxu.

At this moment, Xuanyuan summoned Ying Long, who had been waiting outside the Human Emperor Hall.

"I am here, what are Your Majesty's instructions?"

Ying Long entered the grand hall and bowed to listen to the order.

Human Emperor Xuanyuan said solemnly: "I command you to immediately gather all the Human Path Divine Beings within the Fire Cloud Palace and station them near the Heavenly Emperor Hall, to exterminate that demon as soon as he appears!"

Ying Long: (°ー°〃)

What does this mean?

Is that guy someone they can handle?

Are you asking me to kill Yu Yuan?

Your Majesty, you really dare to issue such an order!

How come I didn't know I had such capabilities?

You people who are leaders, shouldn't you investigate a bit before making decisions?

"Ying Long, what are you doing? Did you not hear my decree?"

Seeing Ying Long dazed there, Human Emperor Xuanyuan couldn't help but frown and scold.

Ying Long snapped back to his senses and hastily bowed, "Your Majesty, forgive me, I was momentarily distracted."

"Hurry up and go!"

"Yes!"

Ying Long agreed and turned to walk out of the grand hall.

But after a few steps, he turned back and sincerely said, "Your Majesty, Yu Yuan is very formidable. Perhaps you should reconsider?"

He fully explained how he had been defeated by Yu Yuan in just one move.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan started to hesitate again.

Guang Chengzi quickly spoke, "Your Majesty, rest assured, that demon's Primordial Spirit Power has been restricted by the Vajra Bracelet of Taiching Saint. He possesses only brute strength, so a collective attack will surely slay him on the spot!"
