Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Li Xiuyuan patted Xuanyuan on the shoulder, looking dejected, and comforted him, "Xuanyuan, don't worry about anything. Don't give up until the very last moment!"

Xuanyuan held onto Li Xiuyuan's hand tightly, refusing to let go, treating Li Xiuyuan as the last piece of wood for a drowning person.

“But Master, I always thought I was perfectly capable of this position, but after this battle, I realized that the gap between me and Chi You is so vast. I am no match for Chi You at all.” Xuanyuan’s hair turned white as he thought of Chi You’s terrifying fighting power.

Li Xiuyuan sighed. This child had actually gotten himself into a dead end. "No, Xuanyuan, how could you think like that? I ask you, did Chi You fight alone?"

Xuanyuan shook his head.

Li Xiuyuan sat next to Xuanyuan and said, "You know that Chi You didn't fight alone. He had many brave soldiers by his side. Since he could find those extraordinary people to help him, why can't you?"

Xuanyuan gave a wry smile. "Master, Chi You was originally a member of the Wu tribe. When he asked his people for help, they would naturally do their best to help him. Besides, the Wu tribe is known for its bravery and invincibility."

"Sigh, silly child!" Li Xiuyuan didn't know what to say to him. "Since Xuanyuan sought help from the Witch Clan, why couldn't you seek help from the Demon Clan? You must know that the Demon Clan's fighting power is no less than that of the Witch Clan. Moreover, you must know that you are the emperor of the human race. What did I teach you? To make people serve you, you must either win them over with virtue, or..."

Xuanyuan suddenly realized, "Using profit to lure people!"

"Hahaha~ Not bad! As long as you offer enough benefits, and the benefits are right, there will definitely be people on your side! Chi You is nothing but a brute!" Li Xiuyuan said while drinking tea.

Xuanyuan pondered for a moment, then bowed deeply to Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan's words had been a revelation to him.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and transformed into a wisp of smoke, leaving the Yellow Emperor's tent and heading towards the Nuwa Palace, thirty-three heavens away.

Nuwa leaned against Li Xiuyuan and fed him a celestial fruit that only ripened once every ten thousand years by the Jade Pool. "Well, is your good disciple willing?"

Li Xiuyuan stole a sweet kiss on Nuwa's cheek and laughed, "What do you think? Hahaha~"

No matter how many years Nuwa followed Li Xiuyuan, she would still be made to blush by his sudden sneak attacks. Nuwa would look at Li Xiuyuan reproachfully, which made Li Xiuyuan's heart restless. He picked Nuwa up and threw her onto the soft couch.

The calamity that is about to befall humanity was predetermined before the creation of the world, so no one can shake it. All Li Xiuyuan can do is lend a hand, and the rest is up to humanity to find a solution.

Whoever wins this great battle will gain immense merit, which will greatly benefit their cultivation.

So, despite the wavering of the demon race, with Nuwa's help, most of them still sided with the human race. After all, compared to the witch race, the human race was clearly more intelligent in the eyes of the demon race, unlike the witch race, which was just big, arrogant, and only knew how to rely on force and fists.

Returning to the battlefield, the Yellow Emperor wrote letters to a group of powerful figures he remembered, explaining the advantages and disadvantages between them. He then dispatched his trained animals to deliver the letters one by one through the fog.

In truth, the Yellow Emperor himself wasn't very confident. He didn't know if those humans or demons would help him. He had only met those demons a few times while training with Li Xiuyuan. The Yellow Emperor was directing his army to resist the repeated attacks of Chi You's army while waiting for news.

The days of waiting were always agonizing, and the Yellow Emperor felt as if every second was an eternity. Finally, a day later, several powerful figures arrived one after another. The Yellow Emperor was overjoyed, and when he heard the news from his subordinates, he was so excited that he almost dropped what he was holding.

"Feng Hou, Li Mu, Nü Ba, Jiu Tian Xuan Nu, thank you so much for coming. I believe that with your help, we will surely win this war." The Yellow Emperor bowed deeply to everyone, and they hurriedly helped him up, after all, they were not here simply to help the Yellow Emperor fight.

Before long, another group of helpers arrived in the Yellow Emperor's army. They were the Twelve Golden Immortals from the Chan Sect, the Golden Spirit Mother, the Tortoise Spirit Mother, the Daoist Duobao, the Wudang Mother, and others from the Jie Sect.

Chapter 1075 The War is Coming

Although the Yellow Emperor knew that these people were not simply there to help him, but rather to take a gamble, so what? As long as he could defeat Chi You, their intentions would not have a significant impact on him.

Everyone offered their suggestions. Although the Yellow Emperor did not know the extent of their individual abilities, he found their plans feasible and felt that the dawn of victory was just around the corner. After all, thanks to Li Xiuyuan, the Yellow Emperor now had many talented and extraordinary people gathered around him, each with great skills.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, with a human head and bird shape, taught the Yellow Emperor the Mysterious Lady Battle Technique, helping him command his army and set up a grand formation. This greatly helped the Yellow Emperor, and with the support of the formation, the Yellow Emperor's army became even stronger.

Meanwhile, Nüba flew into the air and performed a few spells. Suddenly, the sky brightened, and after a burst of dazzling white light, the torrential rain that had lasted for days was stopped. The rain instantly turned into wisps of mist and then quickly disappeared. This finally eased the burden on the Yellow Emperor.

In fact, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden did not initially want to help the Yellow Emperor, nor did she want to help Chi You.

In her eyes, the battle between humans and witches had nothing to do with her, and she didn't care about any merit. She preferred the freedom and ease of staying in her Xuan Nu Palace. As for who would become the ruler of the world, she didn't care at all.

Unfortunately, her balance was shattered the moment she met Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan knew that the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden would be the most important help to the Yellow Emperor in the Battle of Zhuolu, but the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was by nature indifferent and detached, and did not care about worldly things. Even though people around her were betting on the witch clan or the human clan, she was indifferent and did not participate at all.

Therefore, Li Xiuyuan decided to personally invite the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden to descend to earth and lend the Yellow Emperor a hand.

"Your Majesty, a Taoist practitioner is requesting an audience outside the palace," a servant of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden whispered as she approached her.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden waved her hand. In the past few days, several groups of people had come to her Mystic Maiden Palace three times to ask her to descend to the mortal realm to help them. It was really annoying. Presumably, that person had also come to ask her to descend to the mortal realm to help them.

She ordered her servants to drive the people away, and then the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden lay on the couch, covered her eyes with a silk handkerchief, and closed her eyes to concentrate.

After a while, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, feeling that the person beside her still hadn't made a move, said somewhat impatiently, "I've already said I won't see them, why aren't you going down yet?"

The newcomer grabbed the fair and slender wrist of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, which startled her. None of her maids had ever been so bold.

"How dare you! Who are you?" said the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, trying to remove the veil from her eyes. But the veil seemed to be fused with her skin, and she couldn't remove it no matter what she did.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was furious. She had never been so humiliated since birth. This made her so angry that she wished she could tear the people around her to pieces and have them slowly tortured to death.

"Tsk tsk, a beauty is indeed a beauty, even when she's angry she's so beautiful!" Li Xiuyuan touched the smooth face of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, his heart filled with excitement.

This Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is extremely beautiful and fiery in appearance, yet her temperament is rather indifferent and cold, which creates a peculiar beauty of conflict, making people unable to resist wanting to do something to her.

These types of women usually consider themselves strong and are inherently averse to others. As long as they are given enough security and admired, they will be completely obedient to their partners.

"Who, who are you? What do you want?" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden secretly reached her right hand into her hair, where there was a golden hairpin, which was her weapon transformed into a hairpin.

Li Xiuyuan didn't notice at first, but luckily he was quick-witted and saw the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden's movements. He used magic to bind her other hand as well, and then took out the Immortal Binding Rope from the Three Immortal Palace to bind the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, making her unable to move.

"What, what are you trying to do? Let me go, or I will never forgive you! I will absolutely, absolutely make you disappear from the face of the earth!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was so angry that she kept cursing and saying vicious things.

Li Xiuyuan stroked the beautiful shape of Jiutian Xuannv's lips and said regretfully, "Oh, how can someone as cute as you say such vicious things? That's not a good habit! Hmm, I should teach you to get rid of this bad habit!"

As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan leaned over and covered the area where the incessant, vicious words were being uttered.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was completely stunned!

In her nearly ten thousand years of life, no one had ever dared to do such a thing to her! This left her at a loss, staring blankly with her mouth agape as Li Xiuyuan did as he pleased.

Li Xiuyuan teased her red, bleeding earlobe and whispered in her ear, "Does it feel good?"

Li Xiuyuan's voice was gentle and deep, his movements were meticulous and thoughtful, and the scent on his body gave Jiutian Xuannv a familiar feeling. All of this made Jiutian Xuannv fall into an invisible net.

Everything else proceeded smoothly and naturally.

The Immortal Binding Rope had already been thrown on the ground.

After a serious exchange, Li Xiuyuan removed the silk handkerchief covering the eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

She stared at the man before her in astonishment, then burst into tears of joy, "It's you? It really is you!"

Li Xiuyuan gently wiped away the tears rolling down her cheeks, then looked deeply into her eyes.

Chapter 1076 Mysterious Maiden's Assistance

"Why have you come to my Xuan Nu Palace today?" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden carefully styled her hair into a beautiful bun.

"I came to see you! My disciple in the mortal realm got into trouble, so I had to come to heaven to see if there was anyone who could help me. I ended up here and thought I'd come to see you! Who would have thought you would be so alluring?" As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan stole another kiss on the face of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

"How can you be so shameless!" The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked at Li Xiuyuan with a shy smile. "By the way, what happened to your disciple? Perhaps I can help!"

"You?" Li Xiuyuan glanced at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, suppressing his excitement as he spoke calmly.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden thought that Li Xiuyuan looked down on her magical power, and said somewhat angrily, "What? Do you look down on me, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, and think that my cultivation is too low?"

"No, no!" Li Xiuyuan hurriedly comforted the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, sitting down beside her and putting his arm around her shoulder, saying, "How could I be inferior to you in cultivation? Everyone in heaven and earth knows how powerful you are! It's just that I heard from your maid that you prefer peace and quiet and do not wish to interfere in mortal affairs!"

Hearing his explanation, the anger in Jiutian Xuannv's heart completely dissipated. She secretly blamed the maid for being so talkative as to tell Li Xiuyuan everything. Jiutian Xuannv smiled and said, "What's the matter? If you had said it was your disciple, why wouldn't I have helped? It would have saved you from running around for your disciple. Look how thin you've gotten!"

"So, you're willing to help?" Li Xiuyuan looked at the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden with deep affection.

"Hmm! It's just a small matter!" Indeed, anything in the lower realm was a trivial matter to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, not worth mentioning at all.

"Then, how should I thank you?" Li Xiuyuan said, moving closer and closer to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden. Their breaths mingled, and the atmosphere in the room grew hotter and more ambiguous.

Thus, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who originally had no intention of joining either side, stood on the Yellow Emperor's side, and many cultivators and demons who originally did not think highly of the Yellow Emperor also joined the Yellow Emperor's camp along with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Due to recent defeats, morale was extremely low. In order to boost the soldiers' spirits, the Yellow Emperor specially sent people to capture a monster from Shuo Liubo Mountain, which is seven thousand miles away from the East Sea.

In addition, the monster is as strong as an ox, with a white body and no horns, and its roar is extremely loud, like thunder.

This monster was called Kui. The Yellow Emperor ordered people to cut off Kui's hide to make war drums. Once the war drums were made, they needed very powerful drumsticks.

So they sent moneymen to capture the Thunder Beast and took its largest bone to use as a drumstick.

Every time the skin of the Kui is struck with a drumstick, the earth shakes and the mountains tremble; its power is immense, and the sound can travel five hundred miles away.

At the same time, the Yellow Emperor also used the method of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady to capture the Kui Niu of Liubo Mountain and make eighty Kui Niu drums. The drums made a deafening sound and formed a drum formation. On the one hand, it was used to boost the morale of his own side, and on the other hand, it affected the enemy's marching and formation.

Once all preparations are complete, they can leave this place and fight a decisive battle against the Jiuli army led by Chi You.

However, the dense fog that Chi You created around Mount Tai caused great inconvenience to the Yellow Emperor and his entourage.

If this fog cannot be dispelled, it will pose a significant obstacle to the Yellow Emperor's army.

The Yellow Emperor looked at everyone with concern, "I have made all the preparations as you all suggested, but there is one last thing. If we want to leave Mount Tai, we must pass through these many layers of fog."

After a pause, the Yellow Emperor continued, "We can hardly move around in this fog, let alone go to the battlefield to fight the enemy. We might not even be able to distinguish friend from foe. What should we do then?"

"This?" No one had a better solution to the Yellow Emperor's question for the time being, because the fog was too thick. Even with torches for illumination, it was not very clear. Moreover, due to the dense fog, the torches would soon be extinguished by the moisture in the fog, making it impossible to determine the direction.

Just when everyone was at a loss, Feng Hou stepped forward.

The Yellow Emperor looked at Feng Hou expectantly, "Does Feng Hou have any good plans?"

Everyone stared at Feng Hou. Feng Hou was shy and preferred to do her own thing. Being stared at by so many people made her a little embarrassed.

Feng Hou whispered, "I have a plan! This is a little gadget I made before, called the Compass, which can be used to indicate directions." After saying that, she ordered someone to bring in a cart with a glittering golden object.

Because the sound of the wind was too soft, some people standing in the back row didn't hear what she was saying at first. When they saw her order someone to bring in a glittering golden car, everyone was very curious.

The Yellow Emperor was also attracted by that thing and couldn't help but walk over to the chariot to examine it closely.

Although Feng Hou was always shy, he was very confident in his inventions, and his voice became much louder when he explained them.

"This vehicle is called the compass chariot; it can be used to indicate direction!"
