Chapter 348: Chapter 305: Fuxi Falls into a Trap as He Defies the Heavens_2

After the Qing Dynasty entered through Shanhai Pass, Esoteric Buddhism flourished, and it was likely that Esoteric Buddhism’s Mahavairocana would directly become a saint since it was a great merit. Additionally, Mahavairocana had already reached the semi-saint realm and was just one step away from becoming a saint. The Integration of the Five Great Wisdom Kings could even unleash sage-level combat power! Becoming a saint was not a difficult task for him, and if Mahavairocana became a saint, it would add fuel to the fire.

Chi Songzi flew through the air, heading toward the Liaodong region, where Huang Taiji was currently leading troops to attack Shanhai Pass, attempting to forcibly break through the gates of the Great Ming!

The Ming Dynasty was in imminent danger and on the verge of complete collapse. Chi Songzi had emerged from seclusion precisely to save the national destiny!

"Son of Heaven’s Mandate, unthinkable! Then I must slay Huang Taiji!" Chi Songzi gritted his teeth, "I must change history, or the Human Path will be lost, and everything will turn to ashes, with the ideals of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all coming to naught."

During the era of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, houses were never bolted at night, and lost property on the road was not picked up by passersby. It was a real golden age, where everyone was simple and kind, hardly anyone was wicked, all emulating the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, who scrimped and saved, considering it their utmost duty to benefit the people. Unlike now and the future, where everyone thinks only of becoming officials to make a fortune, then exploiting others, with few who truly benefit the people.

Outside the Pass, one could see the Jin and iron horses, with the Qing Army’s large camp set before them, stretching continuously, likely numbering two or three hundred thousand.

"The Ming military and government are corrupt, the military forces extremely weak! If it had been the reign of the Human Emperor, just pulling out a troop of five thousand soldiers would have been enough to sweep the entire Qing Army!" Chi Songzi shook his head repeatedly.

Using his Divine Skills, he perceived the fate of the realm. He saw that inside the Pass, the national fate was declining, the purple qi had turned black, and was gradually drifting outside the Pass, where the purple qi soared to the sky, too noble for words! This was the fate of the realm! The entire fate of the Southern Toad Continent was in decline, hard to salvage, only by completely crushing the Qing Army could the fate gradually return to the Kunlun Mountains Dragon Vein and save the national destiny.

Chi Songzi mused, "The decline is set, the defeat certain! The Ming’s national fate is decadent, their morale low, no matter what, they cannot defeat the Qing soldiers now, I have to take action myself! First, I must find Huang Taiji and slay him, as slaughtering these soldiers will be futile, later he would return to the steppes and gather forces again, which would be in vain and might even be purged."

Chi Songzi sought out Huang Taiji’s whereabouts by observing the qi. Huang Taiji, the founding Emperor of the Great Qing, had strong fate, full of Dragon Qi, his aura bolstered by purple qi, clearly evident at a glance.

"Found him!" Chi Songzi saw that in the central military tent, there was soaring purple qi, the fate coiling into a dragon shape, as if a True Dragon had descended.

There was where Huang Taiji was!

"The universe is in my hand, all transformations arise from my body!" Chi Songzi formed a spell and was about to use his Divine Skills to flatten the area.

"Boom!"

A loud noise erupted as if an invisible giant mountain had pressed down, turning everything to dust in an instant, the people inside dying outright, and that fate also burst open.

Having slain Huang Taiji, Chi Songzi promptly fled far away. Soon, the Nine Heavens would come after him; although he was no match, he still had to flee, seeking a sliver of life.

"Was it really that simple to obliterate the Qing’s fate? I feel something is not right," Chi Songzi secretly pondered.

He raised the Three Sovereigns Sword, Xuanyuan Sword, and Earthly Emperor Sword along with the Five Emperors’ Armor, sending them all flying to Flower-Fruit Mountain, and then he fled with the Heavenly Emperor Sword.

Celestial Emperor Fuxi helped him conceal the Heavenly Secrets, also the primary culprit, and would suffer from Heavenly Dao’s purge. Soon, he would face pursuit from the Nine Heavens, so now their fates were tied together.

The Qing Army’s large camp was in chaos, cries of despair filling the air. Chi Songzi bit his teeth and asked, "Heavenly Emperor, was it Huang Taiji who died?"

A cold sneer came through, saying, "It wasn’t Huang Taiji who died, but Nurhaci!"

Chi Songzi looked up and saw the approacher was Shiqi Buddha, one of All Buddhas, his face gaunt, his smile resembling a rotting ghost.

"Nurhaci? He’s long been dead, Shiqi Buddha—you shouldn’t stir up unnecessary fear," Fuxi’s voice came from within the Heavenly Emperor Sword.

"Haha! All this is foreseen by Buddha Ancestor; he knew you would take action, so he extended the life of Nurhaci! Since Nurhaci was the source of disturbance in the Human Path, extending his life was acting in accordance with Heaven, his actions too trivial to be purged by Heavenly Dao! But you, you are strangling those who are in harmony with Heaven, an act intolerable by Heavenly Dao! Fuxi, even though your Eight Trigrams Mystical Arts are unmatched in history, you probably didn’t expect us to have such a trick up our sleeves!" Shiqi Buddha burst into laughter.

After the death of Nurhaci, Huang Taiji took over; Chi Songzi had not expected that this time he had killed Nurhaci, instead of Huang Taiji!

"What? I actually killed Nurhaci, someone who should have long been dead? Huang Taiji is still alive?" Chi Songzi’s face flushed red, his killing intent fully exposed.

Shiqi Buddha glanced at the void, seeing thunderstorms brewing as if a terrifying calamity was about to descend. He sneered, "Huang Taiji has already gone to a secret place to negotiate with Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui wants to bring the Qing soldiers into the Pass to annihilate Li Zicheng’s rebellion. But this is akin to inviting wolves into your home, self-entrapment! Once the Qing fate enters the Southern Toad Continent, there’s no going back! Haha, hahaha!"

As Shiqi Buddha laughed like a ghastly ghost, he did not converse further with Chi Songzi and just left.

Wu Sangui was not truly a traitor of Great Han. His intention to lead Qing soldiers into the Pass was well-meaning, intended to use poison against poison to annihilate Li Zicheng’s rebel army. However, the Qing soldiers were too fierce, and Huang Taiji was far from as foolish as he had imagined, so his actions instead enabled Huang Taiji, making him a traitor disparaged through the ages.
