Looking down at the boundless Blood Sea, the girl kept shouting, "Grandmaster, why is the sea red?" "Grandmaster, what are those big black guys doing down there?" "Grandmaster …" The girl was like a book full of questions. From the Great Desolation to the Blood Sea, she had never heard of anything. Even Liu Er, a talkative monkey, could not stand it anymore.
Back on the Sacred Island, Liu Er asked his mount, Kirin, to play with the girl on the island, while he and Kong Xuan went to River Styx. With a flash of the Five-colored Holy Light in Kong Xuan's hand, Wuzhiqi appeared on the ground immediately. When Wuzhiqi saw River Styx, he bowed his head and said, "Wuzhiqi greets the Ancestor of River Styx."
River Styx looked at Wuzhiqi, who was kneeling in front of him, and felt a little emotional. Among the Four Spiritual Monkeys, only Wuzhiqi, the Redbone Horseape, was the smartest. With his innate talent of avoiding death and prolonging life, he was able to escape safely from the Great Tribulation of Witches and Demons and live freely until now.
But now, Wuzhiqi risked his life to kidnap the daughter of the ruler of the Human Tribe from Chen Dou. Once this was known by the Human Tribe, there would be no place for him in the Great Desolation. However, Wuzhiqi still did it despite knowing that it was a blessing in disguise. Presumably, the person who ordered him to do so was not someone he could refuse. In the Great Desolation, perhaps only the Sages could do it.
Thinking about the Four Spiritual Monkeys, it seemed that none of them had a good ending. The first one to appear was Wu Zhiqi, the Redbone Horseape. When Yu the Great was controlling the flood, Wu Zhiqi stirred up trouble and obstructed Yu the Great. In the end, he was suppressed by Yu the Great. Although he lost his freedom, he survived.
The second one was the Long Armed Ape Monkey. In the Battle of Gods Investiture, he was lured into the Map of Mountains and Rivers by Nüwa and was killed by Yang Jian. The Wise Stone Monkey, Sun Wukong, became a tool of Buddhism. Although he became a Buddha, he completely lost his monkey nature. As for the Six-Eared Macaque, he was even defeated by Tathagata and killed by Sun Wukong.
Looking at Wu Zhiqi, Minghe didn't ask anything. Even if he did, Wu Zhiqi probably wouldn't be able to answer him. He might as well ask Wu Zhiqi to do it himself and directly check Wu Zhiqi's memories. Minghe reached out his hand and countless rays of silver light entered Wu Zhiqi's Yuan Spirit.
Wuzhiqi knelt there and did not dare to move. In front of Liu Er, he did not even have the strength to fight back, let alone River Styx, an expert of Origin. Anyway, it had already come to this. Whether he lived or died, he could only resign himself to fate.
After a few breaths, River Styx withdrew his hand and sighed slightly. The person behind the scenes was indeed cautious. He only transmitted his voice through divine thoughts and did not even leave a trace of aura. There was no way to find the person behind the scenes. Although the final target was River Styx, after all, it involved the daughter of the Human Emperor. If he left any evidence, once it was discovered, it would be difficult for his sect to establish itself in the Human Tribe.
River Styx looked at Wuzhiqi and said indifferently, "Wuzhiqi, this time you robbed the daughter of the Human Emperor. You cannot escape death. Moreover, my disciple Liu Er needs the Origin of your Redbone Horseback Monkey. Therefore, you will definitely die. However, I will give you a chance to reincarnate and give you something. I hope you will behave yourself."
After saying this, River Styx took out Wuzhiqi's Primordial Spirit and injected it with a black light. Then, he sent it into the Nether World. As for Wuzhiqi's body, River Styx threw it into the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. Not long after, the Origin of the Redbone Horseback Monkey was completely refined. He conveniently gave it to Liu Er, whose eyes were shining.
After obtaining the Origin of the Redbone Horseback Monkey, Liu Er hurriedly went into closed-door training. As for Kong Xuan, River Styx sent him back to Chen Du with Daughter. Shennong was about to complete his Meritorious Deed. As his master, how could he not be there? Moreover, Kong Xuan had to bring Daughter back to settle such a big matter as the disappearance of the daughter of the Human Emperor.
As for the person behind the scenes, River Styx could not find out at the moment. However, this did not mean that River Styx would let go of this matter. At this time, only the Sages who were the teachers of the Human Emperor could plot against River Styx. As for who exactly it was, River Styx did not believe that he could hide his tail forever.
Such a big matter as the disappearance of the daughter of the Human Emperor naturally caused a great disturbance in the Great Desolation. However, to everyone's surprise, after Daughter was found, River Styx and the Holy Land of the Human Tribe did not take any action, which puzzled all the clans of the Great Desolation.
All the Sages did not understand either. It seemed that ever since the discussion of the Human Emperor began, River Styx had changed his temperament. First, he betrayed the teachers of the Human Emperor. Now, he was even calmer, which was not like River Styx at all. The more this was the case, the more uneasy the Sages felt. The calmness before the storm made them somewhat uncomfortable.

In the Jade Virtual Palace, Yuanshi summoned the 12 Golden Immortals and the Taoist of the Burning Lamp. Yuanshi looked at Guang Chengzi and the other 12 Golden Immortals with satisfaction, and then said to Guang Chengzi, "Guang Chengzi, the Human Emperor Shennong is about to prove his Dao, and the next Human Emperor is about to be born. Go and take him as your disciple and teach him well. After the Human Emperor proves his Dao, you will also gain merits."
Guang Chengzi was overjoyed and hurried forward to reply, "I will follow your order and teach the Human Emperor with all my heart. I will not disappoint you." Yuanshi nodded and said, "Good. This is a matter of great importance. You must do it with all your heart."
Guang Chengzi hurriedly answered and then retreated to the side happily.
When the Taoist of the Burning Lamp saw that Yuanshi had given the position of the Human Emperor to Guang Chengzi, he could not help but feel resentful. He had been at the peak of Daluo Jinxian for thousands of years, but there was no chance for him to break through. Then he thought of himself as the Vice Hierarch of the Clan of Enlightenment. He seemed to be very noble, but his identity was very awkward.
So far, no good thing had happened to him in the Clan of Enlightenment. Whether it was magic treasures or merits, they were not fated. He could only sit in the useless position of the Vice Hierarch. Thinking of this, the Burning Lamp hated the injustice of Yuanshi. But he was already Daluo Jinxian. How could he fight against the Sage Yuanshi? He could only helplessly continue like this.
Hundreds of thousands of miles north of Chen Dou, the capital of the Human Tribe, there was a medium-sized tribe of the Human Tribe called Youxiong. It was near Ji Shui. The ruler was called Shaodian. He had two wives, one was Nü Deng, and the other was Fu Bao. They were sisters.
One night, Fu Bao saw a flash of lightning around the Big Dipper. Then the Big Dipper fell down. Fu Bao was pregnant because of this.
After 24 months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a child. As soon as the child was born, a Taoist came to the Youxiong Tribe.
The guards naturally reported the Taoist's visit to the tribe leader, Shaodian. When Shaodian heard that a cultivator had come, he did not dare to neglect. He put down the child and hurriedly went out to welcome him. At the gate of the tribe, Shaodian saw a cultivator in a white Taoist robe. He had an extraordinary appearance. Shaodian hurriedly saluted.
This cultivator was Guang Chengzi. He received the decree of Lord Yuanshi. Under the envy of many junior fellow apprentices and the jealous eyes of the Burning Lamp, he came down the mountain to take the Human Emperor as his disciple. Guang Chengzi bowed to Shaodian and said, "I am Guang Chengzi, the eldest disciple of Lord Yuanshi, the Jade Pure Sage of Pangu. Today I am here to take your child as my disciple. You don't have to be so polite."
Shaodian was overjoyed when he heard this. Lord Yuanshi was a Sage. If his child could be taken as a disciple of a Sage, his future achievements would be extraordinary. He immediately took Guang Chengzi to the big tent in the center of the tribe.
When they came to the big tent, Shaodian invited Guang Chengzi to take a seat. He accompanied Guang Chengzi on the lower side and ordered his subordinates to ask Fu Bao to bring the newborn child here.
Not long after, Fu Bao came to the big tent with a child in her arms. Guang Chengzi, who was talking with Shaodian, could not help but look at the child and nodded with satisfaction. "A natural Taoist fetus. What a piece of unpolished jade!"
Fu Bao did not know what was going on, but Shaodian knew that the Sage's disciple was here to take in a disciple. He hurried forward and said, "This child has just been born. Please give him a name." Fu Bao was also a smart person. When she heard Shaodian call out "Immortal", she hurriedly looked at Guang Chengzi.
At this time, Guang Chengzi said, "This child is destined to be with me. He was born near the Xuanyuan Mound and was named Xuanyuan. Today, I came in a Poor Way to take in a disciple. This child should be my personal disciple. What do you think?" After that, he looked at Shaodian and Fu Bao lightly.
Shaodian looked happy, but then his expression changed. He asked anxiously, "Immortal, you are willing to take him as your disciple. Of course, I am more than happy. But will you take him back to the mountain to cultivate?"
Guang Chengzi said, "Don't worry, Patriarch. Since Xuanyuan is the successor of the tribe, I will stay here to teach Xuanyuan. I will not take him back to the mountain to teach him."
Shaodian could not help but relax when he heard this. After all, no one wanted to be separated from their newborn child. Therefore, Guang Chengzi stayed in the You Xiong tribe and waited for Xuanyuan to grow up. After taking Xuanyuan as his disciple, Guang Chengzi lived in the You Xiong tribe for the convenience of teaching Xuanyuan.
