Yamafu Military Affairs

Chapter 635 Tuoba
"Where is the Snake Granny?! Attack now and seal the Kun Fish!"

Before the words were finished, a seven-colored radiant light shot up from the top of the roc's forehead, spiraling outwards and transforming into nine bronze tablets of different colors and a pale green agate-like disc that spun in the opposite direction, crystal clear and radiant.

At the same time, the Kun fish, aggravated by the shock, let out a mournful roar, and a huge column of water shot out from the abyss pore, rolling and swirling, piercing the sky.

A rapidly spinning octagonal bronze bell emerged from the fangs of the Taotie, which had been forcibly cleaved open. It shifted and changed colors, its shimmering light transforming into countless ancient, serpentine characters that enveloped the nine steles and the disc, giving rise to an indescribable sense of vastness. It was as if the entire world's attention had been focused on this small space, as if to help the Roc stop the Kun fish that was about to destroy the Great Wilderness.

boom! ! !
The nine steles surrounded the area, their dazzling light swirling wildly, and a vortex of air, resembling a tai chi symbol, suddenly rose from beneath the emerald disc.

The roc let out a sharp cry, and red light danced wildly. Countless rays of light poured out from between its giant wings and feathers, surging towards the Tai Chi vortex.

"Certainly!"

In an instant, the surging crimson light, centered on the Tai Chi light wheel, swirled and converged, crashing down on the Kun fish.

The Kun fish roared mournfully, and the towering ridge, like a majestic mountain range, suddenly rose upwards, causing the sky to collapse and the earth to crumble. The coastline collapsed, and the land undulated and cracked like waves.

"good chance!"

Qin Huai, who had been hovering high in the sky, watching the situation unfold, saw the Golden Roc suddenly come to his aid, reducing the speed and momentum of the Kun fish by more than half and almost forcing it to stop. With a thought, a burst of shimmering light burst forth, releasing the aquatic beings from the Sumeru Illusion.

"Quickly, whatever the Black Emperor says, you all repeat after him!"

Seeing the catastrophic scene before her, Wu Hui Snake Granny knew the situation was urgent. She immediately rode her Crimson Scroll Black Serpent to Zhi Guangji's side and said with a grin, "Old man Blackie, I can't bear to see the world created by our ancestors being ruined by ferocious beasts. Today, I'll take pity on you and help you out!"

"Good! If we can save all the people of the Great Wilderness this time, the past grievances between the snake race and the water race will be wiped clean!"

Black Emperor Zhi Guangji dared not delay and immediately began chanting the sealing incantation. Wu Hui, the Snake Granny, who was proficient in the ancient snake script, immediately followed. For each line he chanted, the Snake Granny would immediately repeat it, and everyone else would concentrate and chant in low voices. The voices of hundreds of people combined were like surging waves, rising and falling.

"The incantation alone is not enough; it also requires a sufficiently powerful and abundant true essence to support it."

Tianwu, who had captured the Candle Dragon, looked up at the Primordial Kun Fish, which was about to break through the suppression of the purple-red glow, and reminded Qin Huai.

"You need not worry about anything else, just keep an eye on Zhulong."

Qin Huai nodded slightly, and a powerful and majestic Daoist spiritual force burst forth, stirring up the abundant water element connecting heaven and earth. It spread out along with the chanting, enveloping the giant beast Kun fish, whose body length was unknown, perhaps hundreds or thousands of miles.

"receive!"

Seeing that everything was ready except for the final touch, the mysterious black-robed man standing atop the head of the giant golden roc immediately threw out a burst of silver light that pierced the sky, connecting the nine steles, the disc, and the bronze bell in succession. This linked the three divine objects with the serpentine incantation and the vast true essence, forming a massive array that seemed perfectly natural.

The next instant, a deafening roar shook the air. Everyone's vision blurred as they were blasted away by the shockwaves, some hundreds of feet away. A tsunami and a mountain collapsing ensued, with shattered waves flying everywhere. The giant Kun fish suddenly rippled and scattered like black light on the water, roaring as it burst into the air and plunged heavily into the ancient bronze bell, leaving only the Azure Emperor and Taotie, who were originally in the Kun fish's brain, behind.

Almost simultaneously, the roc let out a sharp cry, bursting forth like purple smoke and flowing fire, which swept in like a whirlwind, turning the sky crimson, with rolling fire clouds, and the booming and explosive sounds carrying for thousands of miles.

Where the crimson light of the roc dissipated, the Taiji light wheel spun slower and slower, its dazzling light gradually disappearing, and it dispersed again into the nine golden tablets, the ancient bronze bell, and the agate disc, which floated around the man in black, appearing to be nothing special.

After a long while, the gale subsided and the shockwaves gradually dissipated. Qin Huai then led the aquatic tribesmen to slowly descend onto the steep cliff of the North Sea and looked up at the black-clad figure high in the sky.

【Pangu Nine Steles】: Thousands of years ago, the Jiuli rebelled. After the goddess Nuwa led her snake descendants to suppress them, she took the nine stele of Pangu and transformed them into Prison Mountain to imprison this ancient imprisoned tribe, along with the immortal king Lin Xueyi, in the wilderness of Cangwu.

【Twelve-Hour Compass】: A treasure of the Immortal Kingdom, it is said to have been made by the great god Fuxi from the five-colored stones used by Nuwa to mend the sky. It is one of the three great wonders of the world and has boundless divine power.

Note: Forty years ago, it was presented to the God Emperor Tuoba by the Immortal Kingdom, and its whereabouts are now unknown.

【The Yin-Yang Bell】: Legend has it that this bell was forged by Fuxi and Nuwa using five-colored stones, containing both Yin and Yang energies, and possessing boundless divine power. When men and women cultivate themselves diligently within the bronze bell, they can absorb the essence of heaven and earth, achieving twice the results with half the effort.

Note: The inner and outer bell walls are inscribed with a portion of the "Returning Light Divine Technique" created by the Great God Pangu. By collecting the three great divine artifacts—the Heavenly Origin Reversal Blade, the Twelve Hours Plate, and the Two Elements Bell—one can gain insight into this first divine technique throughout history.

【Tian Yuan Reverse Blade】: The Tuoba Emperor's weapon, the most powerful weapon in the world, and also the core medium for unleashing the 【Returning Light Divine Technique】 and activating powerful divine abilities such as the 【Two Elements Eight Extremes Nine Heavens Twelve Earths Formation】.

Note: Thirty years ago, after the God Emperor died, his whereabouts became unknown.

A dazzling array of Yanfu prompts popped up one after another in the [Fleeting Glance] field of vision. Qin Huai glanced at the many divine objects swirling around the black-clad man and immediately made some guesses about the identity of this unexpected savior.

Just then, the man in black robes took off the hood covering his head and face. The cold moonlight shone down, revealing a kind face with white hair, a youthful face, eyebrows that reached his temples, and bright, shining eyes.

"Emperor Shennong!"

Upon seeing this person's face, everyone was shocked and dumbfounded.

Among them, the Qing Emperor, who had a close personal relationship with Shennong, was the most excited. Just as he was about to speak, he noticed that the "Shennong Emperor's" gaze was fixed on the Dragon Consort Yu Shi.

Yu Shi Qie also stared back blankly, her expression quite complicated.

"Sister Yushi, I'm sorry you've suffered all these years."

"Tuoba, you...you're not dead, that's good, that's good."

As soon as Yu Shiqie uttered these words, the approximate appearance of this "Shennong Emperor" immediately appeared on the iris of Qin Huai.

【Tuoba Ye】: The chosen one, the Great Wilderness God Emperor, the number one master in the world with 4,700 years of cultivation. Note: Gongsun Wuming, a wanderer in the mortal world, a small boat crossing the vast ocean, fleeting beauty hard to hold onto. A meteoric rise, swift retribution, single-handedly defeating a thousand armies, how can the chaotic world be resolved?
"What?! Emperor Tuoba?!"

Not only the aquatic people, but even Usma, who had just woken up, were shocked and their eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Wait a minute? The Divine Seed Technique? No wonder, no wonder!"

At that moment, Qingdi Lingyang seemed to sense something, grabbed Shennongdi's hand, and after a moment of sensing, his expression immediately became very certain.

"The Divine Seed Technique? What is that?"

Qin Huai frowned and asked directly.

"The [Divine Seed Technique] is a profound technique created by the Azure Emperor more than two hundred years ago based on the [Primordial Spirit Body Transfer Technique]. It can implant the primordial spirit into another person's body. Even if one's lifespan has ended and the physical body is about to perish, the primordial spirit can still be implanted into another body with the five elements mutually generating each other, allowing one to live another life."

Seeing that the Azure Emperor remained silent for a long time, Tuoba Ye took the initiative to explain: "When Senior Linggan Yang was young, he was defeated by his master at the top of Nanji Mountain. After ten years of seclusion and hard training, he won the position of Azure Emperor through sword fighting and then went to Tiandi Mountain to challenge his master to a duel."

"The battle between Linggan Yang and Chi Biao Nu has lasted for more than ten years, and the whole world knows about it. But after the Battle of Nanji Mountain, I have never heard of Shennong Emperor fighting with Qingdi?"

Upon hearing this secret, Hei Dizhi Guangji was quite skeptical.

Tuoba Ye glanced at Qingdi Lingyang, who was reminiscing about the past, and smiled slightly: "Master knew Qingdi's proud nature and greatly admired it. He didn't want to humiliate or discourage him, so he always stopped short of causing trouble and never made a scene. But the more he did this, the more it aroused Qingdi's competitive spirit, making him determined to defeat Master and seize the position of God Emperor. Unexpectedly, they fought for seven years in a row, and each time he couldn't even last a thousand rounds before being captured by Master and leaving the mountain in a huff."

"Later, after much thought, I still couldn't find a way to restrain Shennong's Five Elements True Qi, so I hastily concluded that he had the advantage of having the Five Virtues Body. Therefore, to defeat him, one must have the Five Virtues Body. So I created the [Divine Seed Technique], intending to implant my primordial spirit into the body of someone with the Five Virtues Body, thereby crossing the Supreme God Heavenly Rank. Unfortunately, throughout history, there have been very few people with the Five Virtues Body. To this day, I have only seen the three of you."

Qingdi Linggan looked up at his old friend Shennong, who was now just an empty shell of a feathered being, and continued the conversation with many emotions. Decades ago, he was tricked into the Netherworld by the Wood God Jumang and the Black Emperor Zhiguangji, and missed the rise of Tuoba Ye. Therefore, even now, his [Seed God Technique] has not found a suitable host and has no use.

"I never expected that Shennong would actually include my [Planting God Technique] in the Five Elements Manual and pass it on to you."

Looking at Tuoba Ye, who was possessed by Shennong, the Azure Emperor felt both gratified and regretful.

"If it weren't for Senior Qingdi's willingness to pass on the [Seed God Heart Technique] to my master, I wouldn't have been able to fake my death and escape after being poisoned by Gu, and wouldn't have been able to use my master's stone body to investigate the mastermind behind the chaos in the Great Wilderness, let alone eliminate the Kun fish calamity and save countless lives today."

At this point, everyone suddenly realized why Tuoba Ye, whose primordial spirit resided in his body, had not experienced any decline in strength and still possessed the overwhelming power of a supreme god. This was because, like Shennong Emperor, he was born with the Five Virtues Body and cultivated the Five Elements Manual together, so naturally there was no rejection between them.

"That's not right. Emperor Shennong died after eating a mixture of poison and other herbs; his body has long since turned to stone. How could you..."

Tian Wubi's eyes flickered, and he asked in confusion.

"I also want to thank Fairy Liusha for her tireless research on the Stone-Dissolving Ointment, which helped my master clear his blood and flesh and restore his meridians, which is why I have the convenience I have today."

Upon hearing the name of the First Poison Goddess of the Great Wilderness, Fairy Liusha, Tianwu understood and stopped asking questions.

"Tuoba boy, have you thought about what to do with your original body?"

Looking at Shennong's physical body, which still faintly showed his former glory, Qingdi Lingyang was still worried about the affairs of his dear friend after his death, and asked somewhat nervously.

"Don't worry, Senior Qingdi. Sister Gushe has already spoken with the Ten Witches of Lingshan. Under the arrangement of the Queen Mother of the West, they have been hiding in the Southern Abyss of Kunlun to protect my physical body. Once this matter is over, I will return to my original body and send my master back to the Southern Realm."

"Since you have considered this so thoroughly, then let's do it this way."

The Green Emperor nodded, clearly agreeing with Tuoba's idea.

Then, Tuoba Ye looked at Wusima, who was bound by the colorful Qi, and cupped his hands to Qin Huai, saying, "Your strength is extraordinary and you care about the common people. You must be a hermit of the Great Wilderness or a master from overseas. Would you be willing to join Tuoba Ye to restore a bright and clear world to this land?"

"Hmm? The Kun fish is captured, the Zhulong is imprisoned, the Gu calamity will soon be resolved, the war will soon be over, and Wusima is in shackles. Where in the Great Wilderness is there no peace?"

Qin Huai, who was still admiring the grand scale and profound planning of Emperor Tuoba, was suddenly taken aback and asked subconsciously.

"Do you know why I was able to time it so perfectly and send the Roc to stop the Kun fish in time?"

Before Qin Huai could speak, Tuoba Ye continued, "Because the Great Golden Roc and the Kun fish were actually transformed from chaos. After Pangu split the Yin and Yang energies, the Yang energy rose to become the heavens, and the Yin energy sank to become the earth. The remaining chaotic energy remained between heaven and earth. These three kinds of 'Taiji Yuanqi' were refined over millions of years, each cultivating their own essence and becoming three extremely ferocious beasts. The Taiji Yang energy transformed into the 'Great Roc,' the Taiji Yin energy condensed into the 'Giant Kun,' and the remaining chaotic energy became 'chaos.'"

A few days ago, following the clues I'd gathered over the past thirty years, I found Prison Mountain in the Cangwu Wilderness of the Southern Barbarians, where the ancient Li tribe and the Undying Kingdom's ruler were imprisoned. From this snake-tribe quasi-sage, I learned of Usma's entire conspiracy. At that time, this Water Saintess was already in the Supreme Saint Palace, preparing to join forces with Bo Mu to go to Pingqiu Abyss, intending to unseal the Kun Fish and disrupt the Great Wilderness. Out of precaution, I proactively released the Roc, using the Nine Tablets of Pangu to force it to obey. But at that moment, through my perception of the other chaotic energies using Taiji Yin Qi, I suddenly discovered that, completely different from the dazzling Kun Fish, the most dangerous of the Three Ancient Fiends, [Chaos], had fallen silent. Its existence had been concealed by some ambitious individual using extraordinary means. Just as I was about to go to Pi Mu Hill, where [Chaos] was sealed, to investigate, the Kun Fish suddenly stirred. Left with no other choice, I hurriedly sent the Roc to the North Sea to avert disaster.

"【chaos】?"

Qin Huai nodded, took out an orange-yellow jade ring from his bosom, and said, "Emperor Tuoba, do not worry. This is the Chaos Ring that I found on Wusima. What is sealed inside must be the ancient and ferocious Chaos."

“Usma? I knew it, I knew it.”

Looking at the Chaos Ring in Qin Huai's hand, Emperor Tuoba observed it intently for a while, then suddenly said, "This matter is of great importance. Would you mind handing it over for a look? It would allow me to ascertain the state of the Chaos Ring, in case the Holy Maiden of Water transfers this ferocious beast and seals it within her heart and body, so that it may cause trouble again at any time in the future."

"Of course."

Despite this, Qin Huai's eyes were gleaming as he kept staring at Li Anan, the director of Three-Eyed Global [Chaos], in Yan Fu's contact list, his mind in turmoil.

Should I make this call or not?
