Chapter 129 Fire Cloud Cave 3 Emperors
Yang Jiao began searching for Yao Ji's whereabouts along the irrigation ditch.
Before they had flown two miles, they saw Yao Ji fly back unharmed. Upon seeing her daughter, she was so excited that she stepped forward and stood on the same cloud to look her up and down.
"Jiao'er! Why did you come out? That Nine-Headed Willow is not someone you can handle. You should leave quickly."
Yang Jiao realized that her mother would not know what happened after falling into the water, so she quickly told her that Jiu Tou Xiang Liu had been subdued and that it was all thanks to the sudden appearance of Bai Ze.
Seeing that Yao Ji was still in shock, he quickly asked:
"Was Mother injured after falling into the water?"
Yao Ji shook her head, somewhat confused:
"After I fainted, I was rescued, but I don't know who it was. They also gave me some medicine."
"Since nothing has happened, let's hurry back. This fierce battle will surely attract the attention of the Heavenly Court, so we need to go back and conceal our presence."
Yang Jiao stepped back, took Yao Ji's hand, and pleaded:
"So many people have died. Mother, do you have any way to help them regain their souls?"
Yao Ji thought for a moment and realized that those who could resurrect the dead were all powerful beings whose identities would be exposed.
After a long while, she suddenly thought of someone.
A person who would be willing to do anything for humanity.
Yao Ji pointed out:
"The Flame Emperor of the human race may have a way to conquer the Fire Cloud Cave. Be careful on your journey."
Now, Yao Ji was suddenly relieved that her daughter had some skills to rely on; otherwise, the suffering of the people would not have been alleviated.
Upon hearing the words "Emperor Yan," Yang Jiao immediately understood.
Shennong.
The three emperors of Huoyun Cave all chose to remain in Huoyun Cave to suppress the destiny of humanity for the sake of human prosperity.
They scattered their fortunes among the people, yet none could escape their influence.
The Three Sovereigns: Heaven, Earth, and Man.
Emperor Fuxi, Emperor Shennong, Emperor Xuanyuan.
Yang Jiao understood.
Originally, Yang Jiao thought that if Yao Ji had no other choice, she should seek help from Uncle Zhen Yuanzi, but now that Emperor Yan was the solution, Yang Jiao felt that it was more suitable.
Without further delay, the mother and daughter split up on the clouds.
Yang Jiao went to the Fire Cloud Cave, while Yao Ji returned home to conceal her presence.
East of Mount Tai.
Yang Jiao specially rode the small tricycle given to her by her grandfather, the Yellow Emperor, and arrived at the foot of the mountain.
The exotic flowers are fragrant and their unique scent lingers, their influence reaching the heavens; their name is Fire Cloud.
Verdant pines, graceful bamboos, lush green grass, and forked deer antlers.
Further up, beneath the sheer cliffs on the north side of Dan Cliff Mountain, lies a hidden paradise.
A thick, misty fog enveloped the Fire Cloud Palace.
Yang Jiao stepped forward and knocked on the stone wall in front of the cave that was engraved with the words "No blessed land is as good as the fairyland, and the Fire Cloud Immortal Mansion surpasses Xuandu".
They stepped forward with reverence, knelt on both knees, and bowed their heads in reverence.
Throughout her long journey through time, Yang Jiao had never performed the kneeling ceremony, but the three figures inside were all Holy Emperors who had played an important role in the development of the human race.
The descendants of the Chinese nation should kneel.
After Yang Jiao finished his bow, he kowtowed and turned inward to seek the Dao:
"Grandpa Emperor, Yang Jiao from Guanjiangkou has come to ask for medicine."
Inside the Fire Cloud Palace, the three emperors sat facing each other.
One of them is the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, wearing a blue robe; the one on the left is the Earthly Emperor Yandi, with leaves covering his shoulders and tiger and leopard skins around his waist; the one on the right is the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, wearing imperial robes.
Among the long robes and imperial attire, the most conspicuous figure is Shennong, the Yan Emperor, whose slender body, except for his limbs and head, is transparent and whose internal organs are clearly visible.
Fuxi had heard a few words from Nuwa, and later generations even had children who could play the Fuxi Divine Heavenly Sound.
The one with the greatest joy on his face was the Yellow Emperor. He had heard about this young Yang Jiao ferrying souls across the sea of blood before, and he had a good impression of her. He immediately pushed Shennong, who was wearing a tiger skin, outward and said:
"Hey, you've come asking for medicine, say something!"
Shennong had an unusual appearance; he was extremely thin, and his lips were a deep purple from tasting hundreds of herbs, which had accumulated a lot of toxins. His eyes were lifeless, and he showed little interest, turning his head to the side as he said:
"If you have the medicine, go and give it to them."
If she gives medicine whenever asked, without knowing why, won't everything outside Fire Cloud Cave be completely desolate by then? Who is she trying to save?
The moment I arrived, I smelled the aura of immortals. Aren't immortals supposed to be good at alchemy? What do they want with me?
Yang Jiao waited for a long time but heard no reply from inside. Thinking that the sound couldn't get in because she was standing outside, she boldly got up and walked inside.
"Grandpa Third Emperor, I'm coming in..."
The stone tablet outside the cave slammed into the barrier with a bang.
Caught off guard, she felt dizzy and saw stars.
[System Prompt: Fire Cloud Cave is the abode of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors; only those with great merit are permitted entry.]
Yang Jiao clenched her fists, vowing that she would definitely enter the Fire Cloud Cave in the future and kneel down to pay her respects to the three emperors of the human race in person!
At this moment, however, I do not have much merit...
Yang Jiao retreated to her original spot, bowed, and said in a louder voice:
"Grandfather, the descendants of Yan and Huang, Yang Jiao, have come to seek medicine to save the thousands of people who have died from poisoning. Please grant me the medicine, Emperor Yan."
These words were spoken.
The expression on the face of the Fuxi Emperor inside was awkward.
The Yellow Emperor, holding onto the leopard-patterned robes of the Yan Emperor, pointed outside and said:
"Listen to this, listen to this! The descendants of Yan and Huang are asking for medicine, and it's to save humanity. You won't give it to them?"
After saying that, she glanced at Fuxi, who was wearing a long robe, and felt that her imperial robes made her feel warmer.
Emperor Yan stood up, and his transparent internal organs were nothing out of the ordinary to the other two emperors.
Shennong tasted all kinds of herbs. If a herb was poisonous, his internal organs would turn black after he ate it.
It becomes clear which herb affects which part of the body.
He died because he had ingested too much poison and the poison had accumulated to the point of death.
Upon hearing that several thousand people had died from poisoning, Emperor Yan immediately inquired:
"What poison has caused this calamity to our human race!"
Upon hearing the response, Yang Jiao was overjoyed and quickly replied:
"It was the Nine-Headed Willow that injected poisonous water into the dam, causing the people on both banks to die from drinking water. Grandpa Shennong, please save humanity!"
Emperor Yan frowned, his eyes flashing with anger.
Monster Race!
The Lich Wars killed trillions of humans, and now that the Lich's fortunes are exhausted, they still dare to bully humans?
His heart pounded rapidly in his chest, the thumping sound growing louder, and he gritted his teeth.
Before the Three Sovereigns could speak, Yu the Great, one of the Five Emperors behind them, roared:
"Nine-Headed Xiangliu is nothing but a shameless snake, bullying my Chinese race, he deserves to be killed!"
Emperor Fuxi was satisfied.
Yang Jiao reported from outside the cave:
"The Nine-Headed Willow has been driven to a small island in the East China Sea to be suppressed. Now the underworld messengers have arrived at Guanjiang Estuary to collect souls. We beg the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to bestow medicine."
In this world, those who care most about the human race have willingly confined themselves to the Fire Cloud Cave, unable to leave.
Humans, though possessing the most prosperous fortune among gods, immortals, and demons, are far inferior in strength.
Emperor Yan did not delay any longer. He immediately plucked a blade of grass from the cave, waved his hand, and said to Yang Jiao:
"This is the Purple Lotus, which can cure the poison of the Nine-Headed Willow. However, if you want your soul to merge with your body and be reborn, you still need one more ingredient. You need to go to the East Sea."
Yang Jiao heard about the East Sea.
I know it well!
He immediately stood up and patted his chest, saying:
"Grandpa Yan Emperor, just tell me what it is, and Yang Jiao will go and plunder the Dragon Palace's treasure vault to rescue people."
Hearing that every word she spoke was about humanity, Emperor Yan put aside his prejudice against her for having a celestial vein in her body, and felt even more that this little girl was precious and that her concern for humanity must make her a pure and kind person.
Entrusting my daughter to her might finally put an end to the regrets in my heart.
Emperor Yan shook his head in the cave and said:
"This item is not in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea."
Yang Jiao was puzzled that these rare herbs weren't in the Dragon Palace of the East Sea; they could only be found there.
All the treasures in the entire East China Sea have been hidden away by that old Dragon King.
Emperor Yan, who lived in Huoyun Cave for a long time, may not have known that the richest man was Ao Guang.
Before he could speak, Emperor Yan said:
"Go to the East Sea and find a bird that carries twigs and pebbles into the sea. Pluck the red feather from its wing, and the drop of blood from that feather tube will be the final ingredient for the medicine."
Yang Jiao suddenly knew who it was when she heard the birds above the East China Sea.
A surprised exclamation:
"Jingwei!"
