Crossing the Sword

Emperor Yan took a long breath, thought for a while and then said: "That was a long time ago. When chaos first began, Pangu died and turned into the Three Pure Ones. After that, the first batch of life was born between heaven and earth, and I was born in that era." It turned out that the time was so long ago. No wonder Emperor Yan had to think for so long.

When Ye Shisan heard about the Three Pure Ones, he asked hurriedly, "Uncle Yu, the Three Pure Ones you just mentioned, are you referring to Taishang Laojun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Tongtian Jiaozhu?"

Emperor Yan was a little surprised and said, "I didn't expect you to know this. I thought that apart from us old immortals, no one knew of their existence."

Although Ye Shisan was also full of doubts, he knew that Emperor Yan would have more to say and would solve his doubts, so he did not interrupt.

Seeing that Ye Shisan remained silent, Emperor Yan continued, "At that time, humans all lived a life of eating raw meat and drinking blood. My father was Shaodian, the leader of the Youxiong tribe. But because I was not good-looking when I was a child, my father did not like me. Even my mother was implicated by me and was beheaded to the south." The words "eating raw meat and drinking blood" made Ye Shisan feel a little absurd, because in his previous impression, this should be an era of "eating raw meat and drinking blood".

Upon hearing this, Ye Shisan felt a little unfair for Emperor Yan, but he didn't say anything. After all, it was Emperor Yan's family affair, and it was not his place as an outsider to make irresponsible remarks.

Emperor Yan sighed and continued, "At that time, I also hated my father, so I decided to take my mother's surname Jiang. I have a younger brother who is much luckier than me and more talented than me. My father loves him even more and gave him the Youxiong tribe to inherit. My younger brother is now the monarch of Youxiong State - Emperor Huang Ji Xuanyuan!"

Hearing this, Ye Shisan couldn't help but ask, "Does Uncle Yu still hate your father now?"

Emperor Yan shook his head and said, "I don't know how many years have passed, and my father has long passed away. What is there to hate?"

After hearing this, Ye Shisan was stunned and asked, "Your father passed away?" In his opinion, Shaodian should be immortal like Emperor Yan.

Seeing Ye Shisan's appearance, Emperor Yan smiled faintly and said, "Although there were not as many humans as now, there were still billions of them. How could all of them be immortal? Although Pangu's spiritual energy enveloped the earth at that time, there were only a few people who could understand the way of heaven. Guess who they were?"

Ye Shisan didn't expect that Emperor Yan would suddenly test him. After thinking for a while, he said, "It should be the monarchs of the six major countries and the five gods, right?" There was no other way. These were the only awesome people he knew.

Emperor Yan smiled and shook his head, saying: "You guessed most of it right. Only the Green Emperor Fuxi of Taihao Kingdom and the Mother of Earth Nuwa did not attain enlightenment at that time. They attained enlightenment earlier, long before the emergence of humans. They had already realized the way to their true self and cultivated themselves into the bodies of divine kings." As he spoke, his eyes inadvertently revealed a hint of respect.

Ye Shisan nodded and said, "Nuwa created humans and repaired the sky before that. I was negligent."

Yandi was stunned after hearing this and asked, "It is true that Nuwa created humans, but how can she repair the sky?"

Ye Shisan was stunned. Didn't Nuwa start to mend the sky yet? This was too much. It seemed that he should be more careful when speaking next time. He laughed and said, "I just said that. Uncle Yu, don't mind it."

Emperor Yan didn't care and continued, "The Blue Emperor Fuxi, Nuwa and Gonggong, the water god, are all from the ancient god clan. I don't know exactly when they were born, but they were much earlier than humans. The Blue Emperor Fuxi admired Pangu very much. After Pangu died, his left eye turned into the sun and his left eye turned into the moon. Fuxi flew around the sun for tens of thousands of years to express his mourning. The Three Pure Ones are now learning from Taoist Hongjun, so few people know of their existence.

We've strayed off topic. Actually, what I wanted to tell you just now is my hidden pain for thousands of years, and it's also the reason why I've always warned you not to rely on drugs to improve your skills.

After I realized the truth, I got a piece of Chaos Stone by chance, and then I collected many natural treasures and refined this Shennong Ding. Shennong Ding can not only cure all kinds of diseases, but also make the refined elixir more effective. With the help of medicine, my skills improved rapidly, and the status of Shennong Kingdom became the second most powerful country among the six major countries after Taihao Kingdom, and its power was much stronger than that of my brother Xuanyuan Huangdi. "Speaking of this, a hint of pride flashed in Yandi's eyes. Ye Shisan knew that he could not completely let go of his father's partiality at the beginning, so he felt proud that he could be more promising than the heir chosen by Shaodian.

However, Emperor Yan's expression immediately became somewhat depressed, and he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Who knows that fortune and misfortune are interdependent? After I had eaten countless spiritual medicines, I found that without the assistance of spiritual medicines, my own skills could not improve at all. But I cannot stop, because in order to ensure that Shennong Kingdom does not decline, my skills must at least be kept on the same level as other monarchs.

After that, I had to try all kinds of herbs in the world to improve my own skills. But medicine is three-quarters poisonous, not to mention those herbs that I have never seen? I relied on my own profound magic power, and I immediately worked hard to expel the poison from my body after being poisoned, but there were always some stubborn toxins that could not be completely expelled, and a small amount was left hidden in the body. After thousands of years of accumulation, in fact, although I look very energetic now, I have been plagued by hundreds of poisons, and even my life spirit has been infected with poison, and I can only rely on magic power to suppress it.

That’s why I don’t dare to eat foods that may cause toxicity, such as seafood. Hey, after talking about it, I feel much better. ”

After hearing this, Ye Shisan asked, "Why did Uncle Yu tell me all this?" He didn't believe that Emperor Yan was nagging him because he thought he was honest. For so many years, it was impossible that he didn't even have someone to whom he could speak the truth. What's more, he had only known Emperor Yan for a few days? He told him a secret that Jingwei didn't even tell him? He was not so narcissistic that he thought everyone loved him. Emperor Yan liked him so much that he didn't even keep any secrets that might threaten him. There must be a reason for this!

Emperor Yan smiled bitterly and said, "You figured it out. Actually, I had to take a gamble. I have already asked Emperor Qing, and your demon-refining pot is exactly the one that Nuwa made. But Nuwa's demon-refining pot is still in her hands, and how did you get yours? Emperor Qing only told me that the secret cannot be revealed. What does this mean?"

"I don't know." Ye Shisan shook his head blankly.

"It shows that you have a deep affinity with the immortal world!" Emperor Yan said affirmatively, "And to remove the remaining poison in my body, I must use the Three Waters to cleanse my soul."

Ye Shisan heard that he wanted him to help find the three waters. However, treasure hunting was much more exciting and interesting than being an official, so he asked hurriedly, "Excuse me, Uncle Yu, which three waters are you referring to?"
