After the secret meeting concerning the "Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the Divine Clan" and the core leadership structure in the Taiwei Constellation concluded.

Xuanqing, who was entrusted with the important task of inviting Emperor Xi, Fu Xi, to emerge from seclusion, and Taishang, who volunteered to accompany him and also "assess the strength of the Eastern Loose Cultivator Alliance," wasted no time and quietly left the Taiwei Heavenly Court.

They transformed into two inconspicuous streams of light and swiftly headed towards the headquarters of the Ten Directions Divine Hall—Golden Court Mountain.

Golden Court Mountain.

It is the core Holy Land of the Eastern Loose Cultivator Alliance and the Dao Field where Alliance Hierarch Taihao Fu Xi normally lectures, cultivates, and manages alliance affairs.

This mountain towers majestically, piercing the skies. Above the mountain body, the Innate Spiritual Qi is so dense that it almost materializes into tangible spiritual mist, lingering without dispersing.

Countless rare flowers and exotic grasses cover the mountain, while precious birds and auspicious beasts frolic among them.

Moreover, numerous ancient-shaped yet subtly aligned with the profound mysteries of the Great Dao palaces and pavilions are built along the mountain, arranged in an orderly fashion, exuding the extraordinary demeanor and deep foundation of a top-tier power.

Xuanqing and Taishang arrived at the Mountain Gate of Golden Court Mountain, neither hurried nor slow.

The disciple guarding the mountain saw their extraordinary demeanor and dared not neglect them, hurriedly going inside to report.

It was not long before senior officials of the Ten Directions Divine Hall personally came out to welcome them and respectfully invited the two into the main hall of Golden Court Mountain—the Myriad Manifestations Divine Palace.

Within the Myriad Manifestations Divine Palace, a gathering of deities quietly awaited.

On the seat symbolizing the highest authority of the Eastern Loose Cultivator Alliance, the alliance hierarch seat, sat Taihao Fu Xi, with a composed and upright posture, a handsome and elegant face, and eyes that shone with a light of wisdom.

To his immediate left was Vice Hall Master Daoist Lord Yu Chen.

He wore a green Daoist robe, an ancient sword hung from his waist, exuding heroic spirit between his brows, and his whole presence was filled with sharp momentum.

To his immediate right sat Azure Dragon, Meng Zhang God Monarch, clad in green armor, wearing a golden crown, with a majestic demeanor, his entire being shrouded in an ancient and vast aura.

He is one of the most powerful and respected figures in the Ten Directions Divine Hall, aside from Fu Xi and Yu Chen.

In addition, the core high-level officials of the Ten Directions Divine Hall lined the sides of the hall, including Yunyang True Man, River God Bing Yi, Spirit Sea True Monarch, True Man Puzhao...

All of them were Da Luo Supremes with powerful auras and profound cultivation.

"Honored Daoists, please!" Fu Xi gestured from the main seat, and two divine thrones rose up.

Xuanqing and Taishang also smiled and returned the courtesy, exchanging greetings with Fu Xi and all the high-ranking officials of the Ten Directions Divine Hall present.

After they were seated, attendants served fragrant tea and Spirit Fruits.

Taihao Fu Xi curiously asked, "I wonder what brings Daoist Jidu and Brother Jing Yao to Golden Court Mountain on this day?"

Taishang replied, "We have come on the Heavenly Emperor's edict to invite you to collaborate on a significant endeavor."

He did not beat around the bush, directly stating the primary purpose of their visit to Fu Xi and the senior officials present.

After speaking, Taishang added with a smile, "As long as you agree, the seat of Emperor Xi among the Three Sovereigns of the Divine Clan is yours!"

"What do you think?"

After Taishang finished speaking, the entire Myriad Manifestations Divine Palace fell into a brief silence.

Fu Xi nonchalantly picked up his teacup, took a gentle sip, and did not immediately express his stance.

Meanwhile, Daoist Lord Yu Chen and Meng Zhang God Monarch Azure Dragon exchanged a look, and a hint of a playful smile appeared in their eyes.

The other Supremes appeared to be deep in thought.

In truth, their attention was entirely on Hall Master Fu Xi.

After a long time, it was Taihao Fu Xi who broke the silence first; he put down the teacup, showing the perfect expression of "difficulty."

"The Emperor of Heaven's desire to establish the Divine Clan and unify all spirits is an unprecedented great achievement in the history of the Creation of Heaven and Earth, something which Fu Xi deeply admires."

"I am deeply grateful for His Majesty's generous invitation."

"However…" Fu Xi changed the subject.

"The responsibility of the position of 'Emperor Xi' is truly too heavy. Fu Xi dares to admit he is of insufficient merit and virtues to assume it."

"Furthermore, our Ten Directions Divine Hall is the core of the Eastern Loose Cultivator Alliance. Daily affairs are plentiful and complex. If I were to leave suddenly, it might destabilize the alliance, not something I wish to see."

Xuanqing and Taishang, hearing this, smiled and said, "No need for modesty, Daoist. You are blessed across all directions, with deep cultivation, remarkable wisdom, and outstanding abilities."

"For countless ages, you have held the leadership of the Eastern Loose Cultivator Alliance, making the name of Ten Directions Divine Hall known across the Three Realms and throughout the All Heavens."

"The title of one of the Three Sovereigns truly belongs to you!"

"Please, do not decline."

Taihao Fu Xi listened to their praises, his brows slightly lifted, and the corners of his mouth turned up; he felt secretly pleased!

Though he well knew this was a setup from Xuanqing and Taishang, intending to morally coerce him.

But who doesn't like to hear good words?

Listening to colleagues' praises was a pleasure in itself.

"Ah~~, truly, it's not that Fu Xi doesn't appreciate the kindness of fellow Daoists; I merely acknowledge that my virtues do not match the position!"

Xuanqing and Taishang repeatedly invited him, and Fu Xi refused again and again.

For a while, the negotiation reached an impasse.

Xuanqing sighed slightly, "Daoist, we have said all the good words."

"However, with the Emperor's order, we must invite you to the heavens for discussion this time."

"Whether or not it succeeds, Daoist, you can discuss it with the Emperor."

"Now..." Xuanqing's words paused for a moment, and he and Taishang slowly stood up, saying:

"We apologize for the offense!"
