Chapter 613 Under the sage, what do I, Kong Xuan, have to fear?
"This is a supreme treasure of humanity, the Kongtong Seal!"
"My disciple, from this day forward, it is yours!"
Chen Changsheng's words were like an ancient divine mountain, crashing heavily into Di Xin's heart, leaving him completely stunned and his mind blank.
What?
This nine-colored treasure seal, which exudes supreme human dignity and even makes him, the Human Emperor, unable to resist bowing in worship, is... going to be given to me by my teacher?
Di Xin's breathing stopped completely at this moment.
His eyes were fixed on the Kongtong Seal in Chen Changsheng's hand, his pupils contracted violently, and his heart pounded uncontrollably, as if it were about to burst out of his chest.
Kongtong Seal!
Humanity is the greatest treasure!
Although he had never seen it before, as the current Human Emperor who had cultivated the "Human Emperor Scripture", how could he not know the significance of this treasure!
This treasure is a symbol of human authority and the condensation of human destiny. Holding this seal allows one to depose and install human emperors, command all human races, and become the de facto supreme ruler of humankind!
Its status was so lofty and its power so immense that it could be said to be the "jade seal" of the human race!
Such a supreme treasure would drive even a Heavenly Saint mad with envy, let alone him!
But now, the teacher actually says that he wants to hand over this treasure to me to refine?
"No! Teacher! Absolutely not!"
Di Xin was jolted awake from his boundless shock. Without thinking, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
His head slammed heavily against the ground, his voice trembling violently with emotion.
"Teacher! This is a priceless treasure of humanity, concerning the rise and fall of our entire human race! What virtue or ability do I possess to dare to lay a finger on such a divine object!"
"This treasure should rightfully be wielded by you, Master! You have rendered unparalleled service to the human race and ensured the continuation of humanity. Looking across the entire human race, only you are qualified to be the master of this treasure!"
This is not him being modest, nor is it being pretentious.
Rather, he genuinely believed that he was unworthy!
He had no doubt that if he dared to refine the Kongtong Seal, he would become the focus of the entire prehistoric world and a thorn in the side of all the saints.
That endless scheming and murderous intent was enough to tear him, and the entire Shang Dynasty, to pieces!
He couldn't bear that responsibility, and he dared not take that risk.
"stand up."
Chen Changsheng's voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable power.
He looked at Di Xin kneeling on the ground with deep eyes.
"Do you think this Kongtong Seal is a magical artifact?"
Di Xin was taken aback upon hearing this, raised his head, and his face was full of confusion.
What else could this be but a magic weapon?
When the Yellow Emperor heard Chen Changsheng's question, a hint of understanding flashed in his sharp eyes.
The look in his eyes as he gazed at Chen Changsheng held a deeper level of admiration.
"It's more than just a magic weapon."
Chen Changsheng spoke slowly, his voice echoing in the secret room.
"It is also a responsibility, a responsibility belonging to the Human Emperor and to the entire human race."
"I ask you, now that the Investiture of the Gods has begun, and the Heavenly Dao intends to overthrow my Great Shang Dynasty and depose you, the Human Emperor, who stands at the forefront, directly facing the schemes of the Heavenly Dao's sages?"
"Yes...yes, I am your disciple." Di Xin's voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Then let me ask you again, who is it that I imparted the 'Human Emperor Scripture' to you, instructing you to defy the Heavenly Dao with the principles of humanity, to bear the hopes of the entire human race, to carve a bloody path through this great calamity, and to fight for a future for the human race?"
"I am... or I am your disciple." Di Xin lowered his head even further.
Chen Changsheng stepped forward, helped him up from the ground, and stared intently into his eyes.
"Since it's all yours, then who else should we give this precious treasure of humanity to if not you?"
"While wielding this treasure may increase my combat power, you are different! You are the Human Emperor! The one destined to face this great calamity!"
"Only when this treasure is in your hands can it unleash its full potential! It will allow you to firmly secure your position as the Human Emperor, no longer a puppet manipulated by the Heavenly Dao at will!"
"It will allow you to truly concentrate the entire destiny of humanity upon yourself! At that time, you will wield the supreme treasure of humanity, bear the faith of countless people, and command the world in the name of the Human Emperor! Anyone who dares to touch you will be an enemy of the entire human race! They will be an enemy of humanity itself!"
"You are the one standing at the forefront of this war! This most powerful weapon should rightfully be yours to wield!"
Chen Changsheng's words struck Di Xin's heart like a resounding bell.
He was completely stunned.
So that's what the teacher was thinking... So that's what the teacher was thinking.
He wasn't testing himself, nor was he trying to shift the blame.
He truly saw himself as humanity's only hope, entrusting him with the most powerful weapon and asking him to win this seemingly impossible war!
An indescribable surge of emotion and passion welled up from the depths of Di Xin's heart.
A scholar will die for one who understands him!
The teacher trusts me so much, betting the future of humanity on me. How can I back down?
"Well said!"
Just then, the silent Emperor Xuanyuan suddenly clapped his hands and praised loudly.
He walked up to Di Xin, his dignified face filled with encouragement and approval.
"Kid, your teacher was right!"
"As the human emperor of my race, you must have the spirit to take on any challenge! What kind of decorum is this, cowering and shrinking back?"
"Back then, when I faced Chi You's army and countless gods and demons, did I ever retreat even a single step? What you face now is merely the scheme of a few sages, what is there to fear?"
"With this Kongtong Seal in hand, your teacher plotting behind the scenes for you, and me guarding Chaoge for you, what do you have to fear?"
"You are the most legitimate human emperor in the entire history of our human race! No one can shake your position!"
The voice of the Yellow Emperor was powerful and resonant, filled with boundless domineering power and confidence, which deeply moved Emperor Xin.
Yes!
What am I afraid of?
I have teachers, I have the ancestor Xuanyuan, and I have millions of people in the Shang Dynasty!
I am the Human Emperor!
The confusion and fear in Di Xin's eyes vanished at this moment, replaced by an unprecedented determination and resolve!
He raised his head, looked at Chen Changsheng, and no longer declined, but solemnly extended his hands.
"teacher!"
"Disciple understands!"
"This disciple will never fail the expectations of my teacher and ancestors! I will wield this seal and fight my way to a brighter future for the human race!"
Seeing his appearance, Chen Changsheng nodded with satisfaction.
Children can be taught.
He slowly placed the Kongtong Seal in his hand into Di Xin's hand.
Om-!
The moment Di Xin's hand touched the Kongtong Seal, this supreme treasure of humanity seemed to have found its true master, and suddenly burst forth with a dazzling nine-colored divine light!
hold head high--!
At this moment, the dragon of destiny that was hovering above Chaoge City let out a joyful dragon roar that shook the heavens. Its huge body transformed into a pillar of dark yellow light, which descended from the sky and poured directly into Di Xin's body!
Along with it, the Heavenly Fate Mystic Bird was also injected!
boom!
Di Xin's body trembled violently, and at this moment, the imperial dragon aura on his body surged wildly at an incredible speed!
His aura rose steadily, seemingly without end!
"good!"
Upon seeing this, a glint flashed in Chen Changsheng's eyes.
"Di Xin, seize this opportunity and immediately go into seclusion! Completely refine this Kongtong Seal!"
"Your disciple obeys!"
Di Xin suppressed the immense power within him and bowed deeply to Chen Changsheng and the Yellow Emperor.
Then, with a flash, he disappeared into the secret chamber and entered the secluded retreat deep within the palace.
Watching Di Xin's departing figure, Emperor Xuanyuan stroked his beard and sighed, "This boy's temperament and spirit are both of the highest caliber. Changsheng, you've taken on a fine disciple."
Chen Changsheng smiled, but his gaze became profound.
Di Xin has already played his trump card.
Next, it's time to give another important ally a boost.
He spoke softly to the air beside him.
"Kong Xuan!"
As Chen Changsheng finished speaking, ripples spread across the space in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, a figure dressed in five-colored finery, with a handsome face and an arrogant demeanor, slowly walked out of the void.
The newcomer was none other than Kong Xuan, son of Yuan Feng, the first peacock in the world, and a quasi-saint!
"Fellow Daoist of Immortality."
Kong Xuan nodded slightly to Chen Changsheng as a greeting.
His gaze inadvertently swept over the Xuanyuan Emperor beside him, and a hint of seriousness flashed in those proud eyes.
As fellow top-tier Quasi-Saints, he could clearly sense a terrifying aura emanating from the Yellow Emperor that made even him tremble.
That was pure, iron-blooded fighting spirit, forged through countless battles!
This guy is really strong!
The Yellow Emperor was also sizing up Kong Xuan, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"A descendant of the Phoenix Clan? No, this aura... you are the son of Yuan Feng?"
"Fellow Daoist has discerning eyes," Kong Xuan replied calmly, his expression carrying a hint of innate pride.
"Hahaha, good! I didn't expect you, Changsheng, to have such a big reputation that you even invited a powerful figure from the ancient era to help you!" Emperor Xuanyuan laughed heartily, acknowledging Kong Xuan's strength.
Chen Changsheng smiled and didn't elaborate further.
He looked at Kong Xuan and went straight to the point: "Fellow Daoist Kong Xuan, I wonder if you're finding your accommodations in the Great Shang Dynasty?"
Since being arranged by Chen Changsheng to stay by Emperor Xin's side, Kong Xuan has remained in Chaoge.
Emperor Xin also held him in high esteem, directly appointing him as the Grand General Who Protects the Nation, a position equal to that of Grand Tutor Wen Zhong, and placing him in charge of the most elite imperial guards of the Shang Dynasty.
Kong Xuan remained calm upon hearing this.
"The Emperor has treated me well. The human fortune here is prosperous, which is quite beneficial to my cultivation."
He paused, then changed the subject.
"Fellow Daoist Changsheng, what important matter has summoned me here today?"
He didn't believe that Chen Changsheng had called him over just to chat and catch up.
"There is indeed something important."
The smile on Chen Changsheng's face turned serious.
"Now the great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods is intensifying, and the Chan Sect, the Human Sect, and even the Western Sect are all turning their attention to our Great Shang."
"A world-shaking battle is inevitable in the future."
"Fellow Daoist, as the powerful ally I invited, you will likely have to face those disciples of the Sages, or even the benevolent corpses of the Sages."
Upon hearing this, Kong Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, but a proud smile appeared on his lips.
"Under the sage's rule, what do I, Kong Xuan, have to fear?"
His voice wasn't loud, but it was full of boundless confidence!
This is Kong Xuan!
The first peacock in the world, possessing the heaven-defying divine power of five-colored divine light, can sweep away anything below the level of a saint!
He has the confidence, and more importantly, the ability!
"Haha, fellow Daoist, what spirit!"
Chen Changsheng laughed loudly; this was exactly the kind of arrogance he wanted from Kong Xuan.
"However, the Chan Sect possesses numerous magical treasures, making them impossible to guard against. The reason I invited you here today is to provide you with another trump card."
As he spoke, Chen Changsheng flipped his wrist.
A strange coin, round on the outside and square on the inside, with wings on both sides, appeared in his palm.
It was that top-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Treasure-Falling Coin!
The moment the coin appeared, Kong Xuan's expression underwent a dramatic change for the first time!
His proud eyes were fixed on the coin, and his pupils flashed with an unprecedentedly terrifying light!
"This...this is..."
His voice trembled almost imperceptibly.
He could clearly feel that a power emanating from this coin was of the same origin as his innate divine power, "Five-Colored Divine Light," yet purer and more domineering!
That is a kind of innate Geng metal energy that can devour everything and strip away everything!
What shocked him even more was that the five-colored divine light within his body began to operate wildly and uncontrollably when it sensed the aura of this coin!
It was as if a ferocious beast that had been starving for millions of years had finally found the most delicious food!
He had an extremely strong premonition!
As long as I can devour this coin, my Five-Colored Divine Light will definitely undergo a tremendous transformation!
Even more so, breaking through that constraint and reaching an unprecedented level!
"This item is called the Treasure-Dropping Coin."
Looking at Kong Xuan's shocked and disoriented appearance, Chen Changsheng slowly spoke, his voice carrying a hint of amusement.
"It is a primordial spiritual treasure, originating from the same source as your five-colored divine light, both being creations of primordial Geng metal energy and the origins of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements."
"Its greatest supernatural power is that it can surpass all innate supreme treasures and magical artifacts!"
boom!
It can be surpassed by all innate treasures and magical artifacts!
These words, like a bolt of chaotic divine thunder, struck Kong Xuan's mind with tremendous force!
He froze completely.
That handsome and arrogant face now only showed boundless horror and... fanaticism!
Falling Treasure Coins!
If such a spiritual treasure were to appear, it would be the supreme spiritual treasure that countless veteran quasi-saints would covet and would spare no expense to seize!
With this treasure, no matter how many magical weapons you possess or how powerful you are, I can make you go back to square one with a single coin!
It's practically the nemesis of all immortals who rely on magical artifacts!
If his previous five-colored divine light was "sweeping" through everything...
Then this treasure-falling coin is "falling" ten thousand treasures!
If the two are combined...
Kong Xuan simply couldn't imagine what a terrifying scene that would be!
Even if a sage himself were to arrive, I would dare to go up and touch him as long as I don't have a supreme innate treasure to protect me!
