Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

With his current strength, the Yellow Emperor was no match for Xing Tian. Therefore, Li Xiuyuan decided to find Xing Tian first and kill him to protect the Yellow Emperor's rule.

Xing Tian, ​​who had been residing deep within the Pangu Temple, was furious upon learning of the deaths of Chi You, Xiang Liu, Jiu Feng, and others. Previously, Chi You had approached Xing Tian with his entourage, hoping he would leave the Pangu Temple and join the Jiuli army, but Xing Tian refused.

Xingtian hoped that this war between tribes for control of the world would be a contest between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou, since since ancient times the strong have been respected and only the most powerful can sit in that position.

However, the Yellow Emperor found many powerful external allies and used the power of the Heavenly Court to kill Chi You and others. It should be noted that Chi You and others were among the few talents in the Wu tribe that were rare in a thousand years. They could be said to be the treasures of the Wu tribe. Yet, they were killed by the Yellow Emperor and his Heavenly Court allies, and their deaths were so tragic.

Xing Tian grew angrier and angrier, his anger blazing like a volcano spewing forth molten lava. Finally, Xing Tian decided to leave the Pangu Temple and seek revenge on the Yellow Emperor, to make him taste the agony of being torn apart.

Li Xiuyuan arrived at the location of the Pangu Temple based on his vague memory, only to be told that Xing Tian had already left the Pangu Temple a day ago, and the guards did not know where Xing Tian had gone.

There are many roads leading from the Pangu Temple to Chendu. Li Xiuyuan couldn't be sure which road Xing Tian was taking. If he intercepted Xing Tian in Chendu, he couldn't be sure if innocent civilians would be harmed in the fight. After all, Chendu had a large population, and even a piece of wood falling on the road could hit dozens of people.

Li Xiuyuan thought for a moment and said to the guard, "Could you please give me one of the tools that Xing Tian used?"

The guard waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go, go! Are you kidding me? How dare we take Lord Xingtian's things! Do we want to die? Get out of here now."

Li Xiuyuan tried to persuade him again, but the gatekeeper was adamant. Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to knock out the guards outside the main hall and force his way into the Pangu Temple.

The Pangu Temple looks very ancient, with simple stone carvings inside. However, the further you go in, the more you can feel an unusual aura, the aura left behind by Pangu in ancient times.

Legend has it that the Pangu Temple was formed from the heart of Pangu. At first, Li Xiuyuan thought it was just a legend, but now that he has personally entered the Pangu Temple and felt the pressure, he is completely convinced of the legend.

Chapter 1082 Xing Tian

Li Xiuyuan tried to avoid other people along the way, and based on the information he had gathered at the door, he successfully found Xing Tian's room.

Xing Tian's room was very simple, containing only resting utensils and no other unnecessary decorations. He truly deserved to be called the number one straight man in the prehistoric world.

Li Xiuyuan quickly entered Xingtian's bed and began to perform magic and draw seals based on the residual aura of Xingtian. Just as he finished the process, the Pangu Temple issued a warning to Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan was so shocked by Pangu's pressure that he almost coughed up blood.

Pangu, the creator of the world, is not someone anyone can afford to offend. His merits and fortune are beyond the reach of ordinary people. Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to give up. He took a cup that Xing Tian had used and then walked out of the Pangu Temple again without anyone noticing.

When Li Xiuyuan walked out of the Pangu Temple, the guards in the hall looked dazed and their eyes were blank, as if they had fainted. Li Xiuyuan gently snapped his fingers at them, and they soon regained their senses.

Li Xiuyuan took the ceramic cup and walked thousands of miles away from the Pangu Temple to perform the ritual again. He pointed one finger to the ground and the other to the sky, and the ceramic cup spun continuously in the middle. In an instant, the land of the Nine Provinces appeared in Li Xiuyuan's divine sea. Every person and every animal passed through his divine sea, but none of them were the person he was looking for.

Li Xiuyuan stared silently at the person appearing in his divine sea. He knew it was almost time; the person he was looking for was about to appear.

Large beads of sweat dripped from Li Xiuyuan's forehead and soaked into his collar. Li Xiuyuan gritted his teeth and persevered. Although Xing Tian was not an Ancestral Witch, his abilities were not to be underestimated. He was a hundred times more powerful than Chi You, not to mention that he had been cultivating in the Pangu Temple for many years.

Li Xiuyuan continued searching, and finally a familiar aura caught his attention. He saw a person dressed with bare chest and breasts, wearing a leopard skirt around his waist, barefoot, and carrying a large axe as he walked forward. The aura emanating from Xing Tian was so intimidating that people around him hurriedly avoided him.

Li Xiuyuan was overjoyed when he saw it; he had finally found it!

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes, and at the same time, the ceramic cup that was suspended in mid-air silently turned into powder and was blown into the air by the wind.

Li Xiuyuan stood up, formed a hand seal, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

In the middle of nowhere, Li Xiuyuan lay with his eyes closed on the only large tree within a hundred miles, waiting idly for passersby.

Before long, the earth shook. Li Xiuyuan opened his eyes and looked ahead. Sure enough, it was Xing Tian.

Li Xiuyuan gracefully and nimbly jumped down from the tree trunk and walked towards Xing Tian.

Xing Tian initially regarded Li Xiuyuan as an ordinary human. When he saw that Li Xiuyuan was blocking his way, he simply moved aside slightly to walk away. However, Li Xiuyuan went around to the side again. Xing Tian stood there and silently watched Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan gave Xing Tian a big smile and said, "Xing Tian is here. I am Li Xiuyuan. I have long admired your name. May I have the opportunity to have a detailed discussion with you?"

Xing Tian was momentarily lost in thought. Having lived in the Pangu Temple for a long time and never interacting with outsiders, his only hobby was cultivation. He never expected that there would still be humans who could recognize him.

Seeing that Xing Tian didn't speak, Li Xiuyuan took it as a tacit agreement, and pulled him by the hand to walk towards the big tree. Standing in the sun chatting on a hot day was not something Li Xiuyuan liked to do.

Xing Tian, ​​who often fought with others, felt very uncomfortable being pulled along by the hand. He shook off Li Xiuyuan's hand, and Li Xiuyuan pouted and said, "Fine, since you're willing to let me pull you, well, then I won't touch you anymore. Let's go talk under the tree, it's too sunny here!"

Xing Tian looked up at the sun. There was only one sun in the sky, which was much cooler than when there were ten suns in the sky at the same time in ancient times. However, perhaps the human race was naturally weaker. Xing Tian thought about it and decided to respect the human race's idea. Otherwise, what if he died of heat before he could even speak?

Li Xiuyuan never expected that Xing Tian was completely different from the legend. The legendary Xing Tian was said to have a violent temper and would kill people to vent his anger at the drop of a hat, but the current Xing Tian was a completely different person from the legend.

After the two reached the large tree, Xing Tian stared intently at Li Xiuyuan without speaking. Li Xiuyuan, bewildered by Xing Tian's gaze, looked at him with a questioning expression. Xing Tian, ​​somewhat displeased and as if looking at an idiot, said, "What is it? Speak!"

Li Xiuyuan wondered if Xing Tian had lost his ability to communicate with people because he had been alone in the Pangu Temple for so long.

Li Xiuyuan said, "Xingtian, I admire your character, but I sincerely advise you not to go any further."

Xing Tian was shocked that the person opposite him could say such a thing. His heart sank, his face turned ashen, and he turned and left.

Li Xiuyuan hurriedly grabbed Xing Tian again, but Xing Tian shook off Li Xiuyuan's hand once more and glared at him angrily.

Li Xiuyuan released his grip and stood in front of Xing Tian, ​​saying, "Xing Tian, ​​I hope you can let me finish what I have to say before you leave, okay?"

Xing Tian glanced at Li Xiuyuan and felt that the person in front of him was the kind who would not give up until he achieved his goal. To avoid trouble later, he could only nod. He was curious to know what this kind of person wanted to say to him.

After seeing Xing Tian nod, Li Xiuyuan said, "You have always stayed out of worldly affairs, focusing on cultivation in the Pangu Temple. This time you must have come out of the Pangu Temple because of the fall of your clan's great shaman, Chi You. Is that alright?"

Xing Tian was curious that this small group of people in front of him had guessed his thoughts, so he nodded and gestured for the person opposite him to continue.

Seeing Xing Tian nod, Li Xiuyuan continued, "Chi You is dead, the dead are gone, I hope you can accept this and move on!"

Upon hearing this, Xing Tian's brows furrowed like a small mountain. Li Xiuyuan knew that Xing Tian disagreed with him, but he could only bite the bullet and say, "Do you know how many people died in the previous great war? Countless people died in the war, including not only humans, but also your witch clan."

"Now that the war is finally over, and the Yellow Emperor has even declared that he will not hold the remaining helpless people accountable, and everyone can live in peace, isn't this the best outcome?"

Xing Tian slowly shook his head and said, "Yes, this is the best ending, but it's not the best ending I wanted to see. Since you know so much, I believe you should know why Chi You was defeated, and why he was defeated so miserably!"

Chapter 1083 Untitled

Li Xiuyuan knew this, of course. After all, most of the emperor's external aid came from his own efforts. Without external aid, the human race would be no match for the witch race, which was formed from the essence of Pangu's blood.

Although Xing Tian didn't think the victory was honorable, he did it to avoid even greater sacrifices.

Li Xiuyuan knew this, of course. After all, most of the emperor's external aid came from his own efforts. Without external aid, the human race would be no match for the witch race, which was formed from the essence of Pangu's blood.

Although Xing Tian didn't think the victory was honorable, he did it to avoid even greater sacrifices.

"What do you think war is? War isn't a duel between two people that has to be fair and just. Only by seeing who has the greater ability to completely resolve the war, become the ultimate king, and reduce the deaths of innocent people can one be praised by the masses." Li Xiuyuan hoped to change Xing Tian's mind.

“If it were a fair and just one-on-one duel, the Yellow Emperor would not be a match for Chi You. But the ruler of the world does not need someone who only knows how to fight; he needs someone who can make people happy. Based on your understanding of Chi You, do you think that if he had become the ruler of the world, the people would be better off than they are now?” Li Xiuyuan asked rhetorically.

After hearing this, Xing Tian remained silent. In truth, he was well aware that if the position of ruler of the world were given to Chi You, Chi You might not have the ability to manage the entire world.

Li Xiuyuan looked at Xing Tian and knew that Xing Tian actually agreed with his statement.

"Now that the world is at peace, all the tribes have submitted to the Yellow Emperor, there are no more wars between tribes, and there are no more people dying unjustly. Isn't that wonderful? If you wanted to kill the Yellow Emperor now, it would be as easy as turning your hand."

Li Xiuyuan carefully observed every subtle expression on Xing Tian's face and said, "I believe that whether you kill the emperor or leave Chendu, no one will have the ability or dare to stop you. But have you thought about the consequences? Once the Yellow Emperor is dead, who will people hate?"

As Xing Tian listened to Li Xiuyuan's words, his brows furrowed more and more.

“I know you already have the answer in your heart. Once you kill the Yellow Emperor, the oath he made at the end of the Battle of Zhuolu will no longer be followed by the world. The human race and the witch race will start a new war. Moreover, most of the great witches of the witch race have already died in the Battle of Zhuolu. The human race is full of hatred. How many more witches do you think will die in this war?”

Li Xiuyuan stopped there, saying no more.

He believed that Xing Tian would eventually understand the gravity of the situation, and that the Yellow Emperor was not someone he could kill at will, even if he possessed immense power.

Xing Tian gripped the axe tightly, the veins on his arm bulging, fully demonstrating the hatred in his heart at this moment.

Xing Tian listened and said, "In the past, Chi You and others came to the Pangu Temple to find me, hoping that I could come out of the Pangu Temple to help them. Unfortunately, I adhered to some bullshit principle and followed the covenant of the Heavenly Court, never setting foot in the mortal world again, and never concerning myself with mortal affairs. But that Yellow Emperor actually managed to get the help of the Heavenly Court's divine soldiers. If I don't get revenge, how can I face Chi You, who was brutally dismembered?"

Li Xiuyuan lowered his eyes. In fact, he could understand what Xing Tian was thinking.

If Xing Tian had agreed to help Chi You, then the Yellow Emperor would not have won so easily.

There's no such thing as a "regret pill" in this world; we can only move on from the past and look to the future.

“Xingtian, I know you are a man of great loyalty and righteousness, but I hope you can think more about the future!” Li Xiuyuan advised.

Xing Tian closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, and said firmly, "No, don't say anything more about this. I've made up my mind. If I don't kill the emperor, I won't have peace of mind for the rest of my life."

Li Xiuyuan sighed deeply. In fact, if he could, he really didn't want to be enemies with Xing Tian, ​​after all, this man was a true man of courage and courage.

Li Xiuyuan still wanted to be friends with this kind of person, but unfortunately, the current situation could only be a matter of life and death.

“Xing Tian, ​​to be honest, I’ve heard many legends about you and I admire you greatly. Now I want to tell you something that, after you hear it, I believe you will definitely no longer want to seek revenge against the Yellow Emperor,” Li Xiuyuan said, looking directly at Xing Tian.

Xing Tian looked at Li Xiuyuan intently, his eyes filled with doubt.

Do you know who found those so-called Heavenly Court reinforcements?

Xing Tian's body trembled. When Li Xiuyuan said those words, he probably already guessed what was going on.

“Yes, he didn’t say. I was the one who found him. Do you think the Yellow Emperor could have such a deep connection with the people of the Heavenly Court?” Li Xiuyuan said, raising an eyebrow.

"What?" Xing Tian was surprised that his guess was actually true.

"I invited the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, who provided great assistance to the Yellow Emperor, as well as the Twelve Golden Immortals, Nüba, and others. I found all of them to help the Yellow Emperor. Actually, thinking about it, it's fair. After all, the human race is not like your witch race, who are born with the ability to summon wind and rain." Li Xiuyuan said it lightly, but Xing Tian was not at all at ease.

Xing Tian gripped his axe tighter and tighter, staring fiercely at Li Xiuyuan as he said, "Fine! Since you say the Yellow Emperor cannot be killed, then what about you?"

Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly, "Of course I can't be killed!" What a joke, who would say they could be killed unless they're out of their mind!

"Hahaha~ Whether you kill me or not today, this axe of mine will drink blood. You choose, will you feed it with your own blood or the blood of that little Yellow Emperor?" Xing Tian raised his axe and said fiercely to Li Xiuyuan.

Li Xiuyuan's lips twitched slightly for a moment as he tried to reassure himself. After all, this was his own disciple. If his disciple got into trouble and couldn't win, the master would naturally step in to fight for him! However, the opponent was a bit ruthless, and he admired the person he was facing. What if he softened his heart at that moment? Oh dear, this was truly a dilemma!

"Show me your weapon! Let's fight one-on-one, fair and square, just as you said!"

Li Xiuyuan really wanted to crack open Xing Tian's skull to see his thought process. It turned out that despite all the earnest advice he had given him, Xing Tian had only remembered these words used against him!

"Ah, I don't need weapons anymore! That's fine!" Li Xiuyuan was speechless at Xing Tian's antics. He had spent ages expressing his desire for world peace, but why couldn't the person in front of him understand his thoughts?

Li Xiuyuan said he was very hurt.

Chapter 1084 Xing Tian Without a Head

Li Xiuyuan had no choice but to summon the God-Slaying Spear. He knew that Xing Tian was a Great Witch, and he didn't know what effect the God-Slaying Spear would have on Xing Tian. He just hoped to defeat Xing Tian, ​​because he hadn't lived enough yet!

"Hmph! Today's battle is either you or me; I will show absolutely no mercy!"
