A quarter of an hour later, the Golden Dragon of Fortune slowly opened its eyes. Golden light gradually gathered in its eyes, but a clear sense of helplessness appeared on its face.
This expression, when seen by Taibai, immediately made him understand:
The Golden Dragon of Fortune must have had an unpleasant argument with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and Nuwa.
Taibai stood still, his mind racing. If the other party agreed to do so, he would go along with it and begin his work.
If he is refused, that's fine too; he can simply turn around and go to the underworld to seek an audience with Pingxin.
After all, Di Xin was the reincarnation of Di Jiang, Ping Xin's elder brother, so he couldn't expect to bear all the problems alone.
Pingxin is also a saint, and if he were willing to take action, even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors would have to show him some mercy.
To his surprise, the answer from the Golden Dragon of Fortune came quickly and decisively.
"Fellow Daoist, you may begin, but my duty is to protect the Human Emperor, so I must remain here to guard this place. I ask for your understanding."
"That is only right. I urge you, fellow Daoist, to protect me and not let others disturb me."
Taibai nodded slightly. It was already a rare privilege that the other party had agreed, and he would not cause any further trouble.
Moreover, with a saint-level being like the Golden Dragon of Fortune overseeing the investigation, the process becomes much safer.
If it weren't for the fact that the Golden Dragon of Fortune was not skilled in the art of investigation and deduction, Taibai would have even wanted to ask him to join in, since this guardian's cultivation and strength were by no means inferior to ordinary saints.
Taibai took a few steps forward and stood before Di Xin's bed.
He concentrated his mind and held his breath, separating a wisp of pure divine thought and slowly probing into the Human Emperor's body.
This matter concerns a cataclysmic event for the world, and is also related to one's own life and destiny; Taibai dares not be negligent in the slightest.
Every step was taken with utmost care, for fear that the slightest oversight might lead to unpredictable changes.
Wherever his divine sense reached, he saw that between Emperor Xin's meridians and internal organs, the rich human fortune was like golden clouds swirling and flowing, vast and heavy, protecting the human emperor's origin.
But at the very bottom of these layers of human destiny, a seed is slowly sprouting.
Upon closer examination, it was discovered that the seeds emitted by this plant were the very source of the imbalance between good and evil that caused Emperor Xin's fate.
"What is this thing? I have traveled through the primordial world for so long and have never seen it before. Even the records of the Jade Void Palace have never mentioned it."
Taibai was secretly amazed, but at the same time became even more vigilant.
He dared not rashly use his magic to uproot the seed, for fear of damaging the very essence of Emperor Xin's soul and causing the human emperor to perish on the spot.
With focused concentration, the effects of this seed gradually became clear:
It is like a malignant tumor rooted in the mind, constantly releasing special magic power, quietly eroding the mind of its parasite.
Good thoughts are suppressed and gradually wither away, while evil thoughts are nourished and become increasingly rampant.
If this continues, the parasite will eventually become a violent and cruel puppet, losing all reason and becoming nothing but madness.
Faced with such insidious methods, Taibai was also at a loss.
Nuwa's attitude was ambiguous, and she had nowhere to turn for help.
Although the Golden Dragon of Fortune is a guardian, it is only good at resisting attacks from external enemies and is powerless against such covert tricks, just as it failed to detect the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb infiltrating the Human King's Palace.
While pondering, Taibai suddenly had an epiphany. The Five Elements are an endless cycle of life, possessing the wondrous power of both nourishment and annihilation, and are most adept at silently dissolving all things.
If the seeds are restrained by the elements of water and earth to prevent them from becoming violent, and then the elements of metal, fire, and wood are used to gradually erode their internal vitality, it might be possible to slowly eliminate the seeds without harming Emperor Xin.
Having made up his mind, Taibai immediately took action.
He channeled his magical power, and five-colored light emanated from his fingertips as he gently touched Di Xin's heart.
A five-element array, as small as a mustard seed, condensed and quietly landed on the surface of the seed.
Within the formation, the power of water and soil flows gently, maintaining the seed's current state.
The three elements of metal, fire, and wood, like fine needles, seep into the core of the seed, gradually severing its life-giving veins.
The whole process is slow and gradual, requiring meticulous and patient work.
When the seed's life force is completely exhausted and it withers away, the magical power that influenced Emperor Xin's good and evil will naturally dissipate.
As for when the Emperor will regain his clarity of mind, we must wait patiently for his spirit to subdue itself.
After the formation was set up, Taibai carefully sensed it for a moment and, after confirming that everything was correct, slowly withdrew his divine sense.
He let out a soft sigh and looked up at the golden dragon of fortune standing quietly to the side.
"What's the situation? Has the Human Emperor been tricked? Fortunately, the Human Emperor has the great fortune of the human race protecting him, so the other party was unable to make a further move."
Otherwise, even with my cultivation at the peak of the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm, I probably wouldn't be able to do anything to that strange creature.
The Five Elements Formation has now been set up to slowly erode the seed's vitality; only time will tell.
I implore you, fellow Daoist, to erase this memory of Di Xin to prevent any unforeseen complications.
Having said that, Taibai turned to leave. However, at that moment, the images of the three demons from Xuanyuan Tomb suddenly appeared in his mind.
The Human King's Palace is guarded by a golden dragon of fortune, making it extremely difficult for ordinary demons and evil spirits to infiltrate. So how did those three demons get in?
This leaves only two possibilities: either this guardian is all bark and no bite, a mere facade.
Or perhaps he simply pretends not to know and sits idly by.
Thinking of this, Taibai turned around again, faced the Golden Dragon of Fortune, and asked directly:
"Fellow Daoist, with your current cultivation level, if a demon were to infiltrate the palace, would you be able to detect it? And would you take action to stop it?"
The Golden Dragon of Fortune hadn't expected Taibai to ask such a direct question. After a moment of contemplation, it sighed with a hint of helplessness:
"I was born in response to the destiny of the human race, and my cultivation level increases or decreases with the rise and fall of the human race's destiny, which is different from that of ordinary cultivators."
What this humble Taoist can do is primarily through warfare. If the opponent possesses a strong human destiny or has deep ties to humanity,
"I am also powerless to act unless he intends to kill the Human Emperor. What, fellow Daoist, do you perhaps intend to arrange for the demon race to come and bewitch the Human Emperor?"
Taibai did not fully believe these words, but he was unwilling to investigate further.
As long as the general trend does not deviate, everything else is irrelevant to him.
For example, loyal ministers of the Shang Dynasty such as Bi Gan, Shang Rong, and Huang Feihu are worthy of respect, but if fate is difficult to defy, he can only go with the flow and let them ascend to the Investiture of the Gods and fill the divine positions.
After all, he had no close relationship with the officials in the court, and there was no reason why he absolutely had to save them.
Besides, they are all mortals, with no chance of achieving immortality through the path of immortality. Rather than fall into the suffering of reincarnation,
It would be better to be listed on the Investiture of the Gods and appointed as a righteous god in the Heavenly Court, thus gaining a place to reside.
The matter of Taibai's clone has been largely settled, while in the place where his main body is, the war between the Yin Shang and the seventy-two vassal states of the North Sea has been going on for several months.
It must be admitted that Wen Zhong's military strategy was indeed divine.
Within just a few months, the rebels suffered a series of defeats and were almost powerless to fight back.
Yuan Futong once collected various ferocious wild animals from Beihai, tamed them, and then sent them to the battlefield.
However, when Wen Zhong appeared riding the black jade unicorn, all the beasts cowered in fear and dared not move, ultimately becoming provisions for the Shang army.
