Chapter 40: When the Storm Arises

Emperor Jun paused for a long time before saying, ”We can discuss recruiting Kunpeng later. Ji Meng, prepare expensive gifts and accompany me to Mount Buzhou. Invite Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa. Taiyi, go to Untainted Land with the others to invite the reclusive Demon Tribe and other Individual Cultivators. Be very careful as the Wu Tribe is currently dominating Untainted Land.”

Taiyi replied without concern, ”Got it, Older Brother.” Emperor Jun felt helpless hearing Taiyi's tone. Taiyi was inherently arrogant, and fortunately, he had the right to be. Even if Taiyi was being besieged by the Ancestors of Sorcery, it would also not be a problem for him to escape. Moreover, as the Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery now lived apart, it was basically impossible to encounter several of them at once. That was why Emperor Jun felt assured in sending Taiyi to Untainted Land.

Emperor Jun took two valuable gifts and headed to Mount Buzhou with Ji Meng. The gifts were not ordinary. They were both top Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasures, rare even in the Demon Tribe. The gifts would suffice in demonstrating Emperor Jun's sincerity.

As they arrived at Mount Buzhou, Emperor Jun and Ji Meng went straight to Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa's Immortal's Cave. Outside the cave, Emperor Jun shouted, ”I'm Emperor Jun of the Demon Tribe. I come here to hope that fellow Taoist, Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa, could come out for a meeting.” His voice was not loud, but it contained his profound supernatural power. His voice directly passed through the Guardian Tactical Formation into the cave.

In the Immortal's Cave, Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa were discussing ways to gain insight into the Dao. Cloud of Blessings floated above their heads and unfolded as a flower with their own deductions of the Dao. A figure could be seen inside each flower, which was their Separation. It was unknown as to whether it was a Good Separation or an Evil Separation.

In the Way of the Three Separations, the Good and Evil Separations were easy to be separated. The Separation of Obsession of Self-Centric was the most difficult. The order of these three was not fixed, thus one could first separate the one that seemed appropriate. Regardless, it was necessary to produce all three Separations if one wanted to become a Sage through the Way of the Three Separations.

”I'm Emperor Jun of the Demon Tribe and come here to hope that fellow Taoist, Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa, could come out for a meeting..” ... ”I'm Emperor Jun of the Demon Tribe and come here to hope that fellow Taoist, Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa, could come out for a meeting.” ... Emperor Jun's voice echoed throughout the Immortal Cave, interrupting Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa's discussion on the Dao.

Goddess Nvywa frowned in confusion and asked Fuxi, ”Brother, we have no contact with Emperor Jun at all. What's the purpose of his visit?” Since Emperor Jun, as the emperor of the Demon Tribe, had lowered his stature by paying a personal visit, he must be here for something. How could that not puzzle Goddess Nvywa?

Fuxi opened his eyes and did some divination with his fingers. ”The Demon Tribe is occupying the Heavenly Court with growing influence. But the strength of the Wu Tribe in Untainted Land is no weaker than theirs. Moreover, the Wu Tribe has Twelve Ancestors of Sorcery. Each of them has unrivalled cultivation compared to those in Untainted Land. As for the Demon Tribe, only Emperor Jun and Dong Huang Taiyi can match up to them, but the Sacred Demons under Emperor Jun are a lot weaker.”

”To narrow the gap in power, there are only two ways for the Demon Tribe. One is to vigorously cultivate their Sacred Demons. The second is to invite reclusive strong cultivators of the Demon Tribe or Individual Cultivators to join the Heavenly Court. So, my dear sister, what do you think of the purpose of his visit?” Fuxi was indeed worthy of his reputation as an almighty of the Demon Tribe. His primordial prediction was incomparable, allowing him to predict Emperor Jun's purpose in the blink of an eye.

Goddess Nvywa's eyebrows furrowed. ”Brother, then do we see him?” As a member herself, Goddess Nvywa was naturally concerned about the Demon Tribe. She was resistant, however, upon thinking she and her brother may be under the control of others. Thus she naturally did not want to meet Emperor Jun.

Fuxi said, ”Of course we should see him. You and I belong to the Demon Tribe and Emperor Jun has come here specifically for the Demon Tribe. There's no reason for you and me not to see him.” He got up and walked out, with Goddess Nvywa following behind him. After disabling the tactical formation outside the cave, they saw Emperor Jun and Ji Meng waiting outside.

Fuxi said with a smile, ”So it's my fellow Taoist, Emperor Jun, coming to visit. Please forgive us for not coming earlier. Please come in.” Emperor Jun said, ”Please pardon me for the intrusion.” After saying some polite words, he and Ji Meng followed Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa into the Immortal's Cave.

Fuxi, Goddess Nvywa and Emperor Jun sat down, but Ji Meng had to stand on the side while holding two gift boxes. The three of them were equivalent in status, but Ji Meng was just a subject to Emperor Jun. So he could not sit with the Emperor, as that would not only be against the propriety between a monarch and his subject but would also offend Fuxi and Goddess Nvywa.
