  This was the awakening of the bloodline!

  Although the awakened power was only part of the bloodline power of the divine third eye, it was still a huge improvement to Zhong Yue!

  The divine third eye’s totem patterns were natural totem patterns that were concealed in the Fuxi bloodline, they were the natural skills, the bloodline power of a race, containing incredible force!

  While this kind of bloodline power was in the bodies of all of humans, they knew nothing of it, they still regarded themselves as weaklings. But now, with the help from the ancestral blood, Zhong Yue had finally unlocked a small part of the bloodline power in his Fuxi bloodline!

  “A little bit more, and the divine third eye’s totem patterns will be completed.”

  Zhong Yue carefully observed the Fuxi totem patterns in his divine third eye. He found that the totem patterns were flowing irregularly, probably because of the incomplete totem patterns.

  As for the abstruse mysteries that were contained in the totem patterns, it felt like he had learned them before, and knew them naturally.

  Not only that, but he had also found out that the natural totem patterns of the Fuxi celestial race were naturally concealed in the bodies of humans. They would never emerge in normal circumstances, but only when the human had awakened the Fuxi bloodline.

  This meant that the power in their bloodline did not disappear, but instead, was sealed away by an unknown and powerful force.

  “Sealing off the powers of a whole celestial race, and tossing immortals into becoming mortals? Even the descendants had to suffer from the everlasting seal?”

  Zhong Yue was stunned, a cold chill was sent down his spine as he mumbled, “How can someone possibly be so strong as to seal the power of a whole celestial race? Moreso, a celestial race with a godly emperor’s bloodline, one that countless Heavenly Monarchs have burgeoning within? Impossible, there must be a mistake, I must’ve missed something that led me to such an improbable conjecture….”

  Xin Huo was also solemn, he pondered deeply. “If there really is someone that has sealed off the power of the Fuxi celestial race, and banished the once noble celestials into the mortal humans, which race is strong enough to do so? Which one of the celestial races possess such a dire strength? No… it’s impossible for it to be one of the celestials, then could it be the demons? The celestials and demons were long-standing rivals, and the demons are not weak either….”

  Zhong Yue, on the other hand, collected his thoughts and walked back out to the river. As he had completed all five tests in the Rebirth level golden palaces, he headed for his next target, the Spirit Nurturing tests.

  Five golden palaces of the Rebirth tests, five pools of jade water. His cultivation base was pushed to the peak of the Awakening level, with his five Yuan Shen secret realms at the extremes, strong and sturdy while vibrant with energy. Even the Dao Yi Wheel and Dao Yi Secret Realm had not been this strong before.

  Zhong Yue could now easily cast his Yuan Shens’ third forms, those of the three-taloned Golden Crow celestial being and the three-legged six-eyed celestial being!

  He was not far away from advancing into the Atman Body level!

  Xin Huo said, “The fully awakened divine third eye was not only strong, but it could also see through all of the illusions and reach to the truth, allowing the cultivator to perceive all of the abstrusities in the totem patterns and the skills. And now, your divine third eye is still lacking the last piece of the totem patterns. One more ancestral blood award! You only need one more ancestral blood award to unlock the Fuxi totem patterns in your bloodline required for the complete awakening of the divine third eye, just one single drop!”

  Zhong Yue pushed open the fifth golden palace of the tests of the level of Spirit Nurturing, he stride in with a strong and firm gait. Right at that moment, the voice of the Ancestral Dragon rang in his ears, “Young man of the Fuxi celestial race, the power offered to me by the dragon race’s worship is fading, are you still not going to participate in the Five Levels Mergence? If so, then my heritage and markings will be given to that young Jiao Dragon.”

  Zhong Yue staunchly shook his head in reply.

  Sighing, the Ancestral Dragon’s voice faded away.

  ------

  Jiao Qingtu had already defeated Po Luke and the other dragon disciple, he was waiting for Zhong Yue’s arrival. All of a sudden, the door behind him opened unexpectedly.

  Jiao Qingtu was stunned, he cast his gaze over the river and mumbled, “I’ve yet to defeat Long Yue, so why did the door open by itself? Could it be that he has failed in one of the tests and has been teleported out from the Ancestral Dragon secret realm? If that’s the case, then we can only delay the battle until after the Ancestral Dragon Ritual has finished!”

  He marched forward and entered the door. Shaking his head, he said, “But by then, I will have already acquired the Leize totem patterns, and the heritage of the Ancestral Dragon; my prowess will be at a whole new level, I’m afraid that Long Yue will not be fit to be my opponent anymore…”

  ------

  Outside, the dragon experts of the Eastern Sea surrounded the gigantic and ancient land. There were rays flashing constantly on the altar, teleporting the eliminated dragon disciples back. Even though they had failed to reach the end, they still benefited greatly. Not only was their prowess greatly boosted, but their bloodlines were nourished by the Qi of the Ancestral Dragon, augmenting their talents to be even stronger than before!

  Especially those who had passed all five tests, they would be either an elder or even a magnate cultivator in the future; they were the future mainstays of the dragon race!

  However, they were still not the focus of the Ancestral Dragon Ritual, as all of the spotlights were directed to the dragon disciple that had acquired the Leize totem patterns and the markings of the Ancestral Dragon!

  In the past, all of the previous Ancestral Dragon Rituals had only offered a limited amount of living beings, which shortened the duration of the Ancestral Dragon Rituals, and the Leize totem patterns were also incomplete. However, today the Ancestral Dragon Ritual had sacrificed thousands of sea race Qi Practitioners, which meant that the Leize totem patterns would be more complete, and also stronger!

  And now, only two dragon disciples were left in the Ancestral Dragon secret realm!

  “Who will it be?”

  Even the five clan masters had their faces filled with anxiety, staring closely at the Ancestral Dragon Altar. The Po Clan’s clan master murmured, “Who will it be? Long Yue of the Ao Clan, or Jiao Qingtu of the Jiao Clan?”

  “Impressive!”

  The Yu Clan’s clan master was envious, saying to the elderly Ao Clan’s clan master, “Although the Ao Clan didn’t have any closed-door disciples, you had such a treasure like Long Yue. If he wins, he will definitely be a bright star and a brave general of the Ao Clan!”

  Blurred expressions were changing incessantly on the Ao Clan’s clan master’s gloomy face; the other clan masters didn’t know about Zhong Yue’s true identity, but he himself knew it very well.

  If Zhong Yue really defeated Jiao Qingtu and acquired the heritage and the markings of the Ancestral Dragon, then the dragon race would have suffered a great loss; preparing such a grandiose Ancestral Dragon Ritual, only to have the final rewards taken away by a human!

  If that human Zhong Shan Clan member has really won and acquired the heritage and markings of the Ancestral Dragon; then he must be killed at all costs, even if that means that we will have to give up our plans for the East Barren!

  The elderly Ao Clan’s clan master regained his composure as he made this decision in his heart. Although the East Barren is important, it is nothing compared to the heritage of our great ancestor!

  All of a sudden, the Ancestral Dragon Altar quaked violently, while shaking the hearts of the dragons around, “The power from the worship is fading, the Ancestral Dragon Ritual is coming to an end! Strange, why are Long Yue and Jiao Qingtu not out yet? Could i
t be that there will be two dragon disciples acquiring the heritage of the Ancestral Dragon?”

  Such a bizarre situation had never happened before in the history of the dragon race, the dragon elders were chatting and discussing among one another while the five clan masters were also puzzled.

  “Is the Sea King Sha Qishan not taken down yet?” Jiao Clan’s clan master asked disappointingly, “If Sha Qishan was taken down and sacrificed to the Ancestral Dragon, we could prolong the duration of the ritual and allow the Ancestral Dragon to bestow more treasures upon us!”

  The Chi Clan’s clan master shook his head and said, “They have yet to come back. Surely, they must have encountered demon experts in the oversea demonic land. Otherwise, Sha Qishan wouldn’t have survived for so long!”

  The Ancestral Dragon Altar quaked even more vigorously. Meanwhile, in the Ancestral Dragon secret realm, the dimensional space also started to crumble, palaces were pulverized into dust, and draconic golden statues fell into ashes.In the last test of the Spirit Nurturing level, Zhong Yue had already taken down seventy-over draconic golden statues, and all of a sudden, the rest of the golden statues perished in a split second!

  The golden floor beneath him flowed away like sands while the golden palaces were pulverized into golden dust and swept away by the raging tempest; the mountain ridges far away from him faded away, while the dragon gods soaring in the sky disappeared into thin air. It seemed like the whole of the Ancestral Dragon secret realm was getting wiped away!

  The power offered by the Eastern Sea dragon race to the Ancestral Dragon was finally depleted!

  Zhong Yue cast his gaze further away, and met with a spectacularly grandiose scene that shook his heart!

  “What… is that...?”

  The instant where the whole Ancestral Dragon secret realm crumbled, he saw himself in a dimension. There was no sky or earth, no signs of the livings. But there were only gods, gods that were huge like stars, some shining bright like a sun while others were glimmering marvelously like a galaxy, and they were all slumbering deeply in the void!

  All of the gods were asleep, slumbering in this mysterious dimensional void. Deep in the middle of the dimensional space, there were faint and indistinct chants, sounding as if there were countless living beings praying and worshipping.

  These gods had no mortal bodies, but only their souls and spirits, while some even only had their spirits!

  The Void World!

  The Void World where the spirits of all of the gods resided!

  Behind Zhong Yue was the spirit of an innate dragon god which was slowly closing his eyes, falling into a deep slumber.

  “Young child of the Fuxi Clan, can you see it….”

  The innate dragon god’s thoughts were still active, conducting his voice directly into Zhong Yue’s mind. At the same time, Zhong Yue felt a surge of irresistibly overwhelming force pushing him out from the mysterious Void World. “The spirits of your Fuxi celestial race ancestors, without their worshippers, they are now on the verge of disappearing….”

  Zhong Yue cast his gaze afar, he saw the faltering godly spirits of the Fuxi celestial race, the human-headed snake-bodied godly spirits that once protected the Fuxi celestial race were now slowly fading away; not a single chant that worshipped them could be heard at all.

  It was as if they were totally forgotten.

  Zhong Yue was then sent out from the mysterious Void World back to the Eastern Sea.

  ------

  A young man stood above the vast sea, tears were slipping from his weeping eyes. He felt as if his tears were as bitter as the sea waters beneath him.

  Chapter 231: Eastern Sea's Carnival |

  Why did no one worship and pray to our Fuxi ancestors? How did our heritage vanish?

  Zhong Yue looked up as the mixture of the sea water and his tears dripped down along his face. He thought to himself with an empty expression, What kind of power made us forget our ancestors and our glorious history?

  With the heritage of the Fuxi Celestial Race gone, the formerly glorious and marvelous ancient Fuxi Celestial Race became the now puny humans, the lowest class among all races, even viewed as food by the other races!

  Everything about the history of Fuxi Celestial Race became something like a legend that felt unreal. Humans had long forgotten the glory of their ancestors and their history. They were powerless and enslaved by the other races, handing their lives over to the other races to decide.

  Anything related to the Fuxi Celestial Race had been wiped out cleanly, as if an invisible hand had removed every trace of them.

  The Ancestral Dragon said that there were still some Fuxi Celestial Race in the Zi Wei Divine Court, and they knew what happened back then! I have to go there and seek an answer from those pure Fuxi Celestials!

  Then, Zhong Yue realized something and wondered, But where is the Zi Wei Divine Court?

  Only the heavens knew where the divine court was in this vast universe?

  And how to get there?

  Besides, he hadn’t even managed to get out of the Ancestral Star, as no one could leave this star if they were not a god!

  And even if he did manage to become a god and leave the Ancestral Star, how could he accurately locate the Zi Wei Divine Court in this huge universe?

  Xin Huo, that’s right! Xin Huo!

  Zhong Yue collected his thoughts and quickly cast aside his frustration and problems. At the same time as him, Jiao Qingtu was sent out of the secret realm, as well. The dragons quickly surrounded the two of them.

  “Which one of you received the Ancestral Dragon’s heritage?” asked a few elders nervously.

  Jiao Qingtu raised up his hand and the many elders of the Jiao Dragon Clan shouted with happiness. They quickly spread the news, and the disciples of the Jiao Dragon Clan began to celebrate joyfully as well.

  The dragons from the other clans showed their disappointment. Some of them congratulated the Jiao Dragon Clan as well. The many elders of the Ao Clan felt secretly relieved and they also congratulated the Jiao Dragon Clan’s Clan Master and Jiao Qingtu. Originally, the Ao Clan’s elders planned to kill Zhong Yue if he received the Ancestral Dragon’s heritage. Since the one who received the heritage was Jiao Qingtu, they had no need to kill Zhong Yue anymore.

  The Jiao Dragon’s Clan Master was very happy and he quickly replied, “We will definitely prepare copies of Qingtu’s heritage and send them to all clans without hiding any important information!”

  Although the Clan Master gave out his words, the other four clans felt slightly disappointed. No matter how good the copies were, they could never be compared to the original copy given by the Ancestral Dragon. Jiao Qingtu’s strength was nowhere enough to duplicate another copy of the heritage as strong and as authentic as the Ancestral Dragon.

  And the same applied to Zhong Yue, as well. If the【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】given to him by Xin Huo was passed to someone else through Zhong Yue, the quality of the【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】would definitely be lowered to a certain level, as Zhong Yue’s strength was not high enough. His lack of strength would cause him to be unable to depict the details of the art accurately to the other person, which would then greatly reduce the quality of the【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】.

  The art given to him by Xin Huo could be considered a god-class level art. If Zhong Yue gave the art to someone else, the art would be at the human-class level, and would bear a different level of powers.

  Zhong Yue started to walk away from the altar. When he turned back to look, he saw the dragons surrounding Jiao Qingtu, celebrating happily. He thought, The losers will always be ignored. With me not able to acquire the Ancestral Dragon’s heritage, they immediately ignore my existence. That is good for me as well, since I have already gotten what I wanted. The Ancestral Dragon heritage Jiao Qingtu obtained is a good thing, but I have also unlocked my divine third eye completely!

  He was very excited. Eve
n though he only managed to obtain a total of nine drops of blood in the tests, he still managed to completely awaken his divine third eye!

  With that, he had finally obtained the first characteristic of the Fuxi Celestial Race, which was the Fuxi’s divine third eye!

  And he also understood the majority of the totem carvings of the completed divine third eye, which was his biggest gain this time!

  Other than that, his foundation was also refined even further. It was incredibly solid and in anytime now, he could enter the Atman Body level of cultivation.

  But I guess that the Ancestral Dragon heritage is indeed very powerful?, Zhong Yue thought to himself as he watched Jiao Qingtu, who was now surrounded by his kin. Jiao Qingtu is incredibly strong, and it is natural that he managed to obtain the Ancestral Dragon heritage, but to be unable to fight with him is indeed a shame.

  The celebration continued all the way to nightfall, and Jiao Qingtu was welcomed into the city like a hero. When they entered the city, everyone could be seen celebrating and feasting.

  And there were also young dragons that were making out and flirting somewhere hidden. The scenes were just incredibly intense. Zhong Yue even saw some of the dragon men and ladies holding hands and entering into the ocean before turning back into their original forms and starting to have an intimate relationship.

  “Ughhh… that dragon is actually trying to have sex with a female walrus… ” shouted Xin Huo, who was looking at the world through the divine third eye of Zhong Yue. With his divine third eye, Zhong Yue now possessed the ability to see through darkness and the void, but who would have thought that Xin Huo would use it to peek at someone else?

  “Hoho! This Jiao disciple’s mate is a monster octopus, oh my! What? I can’t believe he is interested in manatees and sea lions! What a guy!” Xin Huo laughed and said, “Seems like after this Ancestral Dragon Ritual, there will be a lot of dragon babies that will be born into this world. Hmm? That Jiao Dragon there is now mating with a snake… That is not a sea snake, but the Chilian snake that lives on the land…”
