  The most amazing thing was that there was barely any difference between the things here and those outside, they felt just so real.

  “No! These are all real!” murmured Zhong Yue as he looked around.

  Everything here was all created and brought to life, either by an incredible expert or by the worships of countless living beings.

  Because of the prolonged worship or the powerful strength of that person who created all of these, the lightning were now alive and they formed everything here.

  If this place was created because of the worships, then there must be a gigantic amount of worshippers to be able to create such things and if these were created by somebody, then this person’s level was far beyond the level of a Creator.

  “This place was created because of the heaven and earth, the worshippers and also the Innate Dragon God,” said Xin Huo as he saw Zhong Yue’s confusion, “This place was just a place filled with lighting back then. It was chaotic as all sorts of lighting gathered here and with the Chaos lightning and Prehistoric lightning striking here and there. In time, the innate life essence slowly formed in this place. Life grew from the lighting and there came the first Innate Dragon God who named himself as Lei Zhe and named this place after him.”

  “The lives in this universe slowly reproduced and another land filled with the Pure Yin elements was extremely chaotic as well. As the Pure Yin water, Chaotic water, and Prehistoric water gushed all over the place. Life brew from the Pure Yin land and this life named herself Hua Xu.”

  “There were also many kinds of innate life that were born in such way. They were the first generations of innate gods who created living beings, scattered them around the world and as these lives worshipped Lei Zhe, Lei Zhe became stronger. With the new power, Lei Zhe suppressed all chaos and created the sacred ground and realms of the Leizhe Celestial Race.”

  “Hua Xu came to see Lei Zhe; thus, the Sui Sovereign was born.”

  The adult here was the innate gods. When Huaxu came to see Lei Zhe and after the two innate gods met, they merged with each other and gave birth to their descendant, who created the Flame Order Era.

  Ahead of him was an ancient palace and when Zhong Yue and Creator He Lan passed by it, Zhong Yue saw dragon gods lined up at the sides, each e tremendous aura around them. They however, were not innate gods; they awakened their Lei Zhe bloodline through cultivation, thus, they possessed high purity bloodline but they were still not pure blooded.

  Innate gods were after all, extremely rare and even such places like Lei Zhe barely had one or two. These Lei Zhe disciples were just the descendants of the Innate Dragon God.

  Even so, they were still extremely powerful and just like Creator He Lan said, if these disciples took part in the competition, their shadows would easily overwhelm the entire competition!

  Because of the innate celestial blood in them and the awakening of the innate totem patterns, even an ordinary Qi Practitioner here possess power that could rival the top ten in the competition!

  But the population of Leizhe was extremely tiny compared to the other races out there. Higher level races had always faced difficulties in reproduction; they had a low population and this place was not under the influence of Six Path Reincarnation. The members of Leizhe were all nurtured and given birth by the heaven and earth to prevent being infiltrated by the other races; thus, the true Leizhe Celestial Race was just a small race.

  It was really a shame and pity that the once glorious royal race had deteriorated to such extent.

  “Brother Zhong!”

  A shout sounded out of nowhere and when Zhong Yue focused his attention on the young dragon god that came rushing to him, he flinched and shouted, “Qingtu! You… How did you get here?”

  This young dragon god was Jiao Qingtu from the Eastern Sea. Zhong Yue once crossed path with this young dragon god; back then, they were enemies in the Ancestral Dragon’s secret realm and later on, they became friends and Zhong Yue even visited Jiao Qingtu to bid farewell before leaving Ancestral Star!

  Jiao Qingtu got up quickly and as he held onto Zhong Yue’s arms, he smiled and said, “It has been a long time, Brother Zhong! Now, I finally outperform you on one point! I have become a god quicker than you! You are now behind me!”

  Zhong Yue was excited to see an old friend from the Ancestral Star and he hugged his old friend and said, “But I am still better than you in overall, wanna test my strength?”

  “No, no, I’ve never doubted that,” replied Jiao Qingtu but even so, the will in his eyes was completely different as his eyes told Zhong Yue that he was very interested in fighting him. Upon ascending as a god, the Lei Zhe Ancestral Dragon’s bloodline was activated and now, Jiao Qingtu possessed strength far greater than before. Even if he was not a Leizhe Celestial Race’s member that was raised here, his strength was still not to be underestimated.

  “The clan master knows that you and I are friends so he had me to welcome you.”

  Jiao Qingtu pressed down his eagerness to duel with Zhong Yue and he said, “I received the generous permission from the Ancestral Dragon which allowed me to enter Lei Zhe for cultivation after becoming a god. After ascending as a god in Kun Lun Realm, I contacted the spirit of Ancestral Dragon and after telling that the Ancestral Star was sealed, he took me into the Void World before transporting me here.”

  “There is such a way!?” shouted Zhong Yue at this statement.

  He initially thought that after being sealed away, the only way out of Ancestral Star was through the inside of the eighth planet but he never thought of leaving through the Void World!

  The Void World was a higher level realm and only through worshipping will the spirits living within the Void World be able to leave the Ancestral Star.

  Zhong Yue then asked him about the situation in Ancestral Star; he knew nothing about what happened there and his incarnations, the Demon King Bo Xun and Dragon God Long Yue were in the Kun Lun Realm and Ancestral Star respectively.

  But now, he was too far away from the two, thus, their connection was weakened and especially getting even further away from the Ancestral Star, he could barely sense them anymore.

  This was because he was still not strong enough. If he were strong enough, he would’ve been able to have a grasp of what happened.

  But thanks to the fragment of his soul within his incarnations, Bo Xun and Long Yue were able to live like separate individuals, which did not require him to control them both.

  “The humans in Ancestral Star had risen.”

  Jiao Qingtu said, “Fang Jiange had resigned and gone into the Kun Lun Realm, becoming the new Sword God and Xuan Yuan took over the seat. Swords Gate now has countless strong Qi Practitioners and the humans have become even stronger than the dragon race. However, on the other side of the ocean, the demon race is the same. There is this young boy called Chi You. He is a strong one and he had the eight saint demon clans yield to him. With the eight saint demon clans, he merged the Li Clan together and formed Nine Li. From what I can tell, there will be a tough battle between the human Xuan Yuan and demon Chi You. Too bad you can’t see it.”

  “Tough battle?’ asked a confused Zhong Yue.

  Jiao Qingtu laughed and replied, “Back then, you sealed the entire world’s celestial blood, forcing them into Kun Lun and with that, you have countless enemies in Kun Lun. They are all waiting for a chance to exact revenge on the humans. It is only a matter of time before they form an alliance. All they need is just a trigger. But with the Western Mother Empress still alive, they dare not make a move. The Western Mother Empress will not be able to live for much longer. After she passes away, the flames of war will finally descend upon Ancestral Star again.”

  Zhong Yue nodded as he had really made a handful of enemies when he sealed all the celestial bloodlines.

  Jiao QIngtu then added, “Ever heard of Bo Xun the Lord of Great Desire? That kid is also in the enemy’s team. Among them all, it is this brat that is the worst! I assume that it will be him that l
ights up the trigger to the war! By then, it will be a tough fight and you might have to go back or the humans will be in grave danger!”

  “There is no need for that.” reputed Zhong Yue, “That brat you speak off is also my incarnation.”

  The stunned Jiao Qingtu then looked at Zhong Yue in disbelief and after quite a while, he exhaled deeply and murmured, “No wonder I never manage to win against you. You little cunning brat… The sacred palace is just ahead and the clan master is waiting for you in there. I am not qualified to enter there so I will be waiting for you on the outside. I look forward to fighting you in a friendly match after you get out!”

  Zhong Yue nodded and he looked at the ancient sacred palace which only had part of it relieved on the outside and the rest hidden within the deep abyss of chaos.

  He then took a deep breath and walked into the palace.

  Chapter 739: The Dragon Fought, Its Blood Golden |

  Everything within this old palace appeared to be very ancient and quiet. Zhong Yue also felt that the time flow here was completely stopped and on the ancient walls were various records of history.

  Zhong Yue took a careful look at these records. On the first one, it talked about the origin of the celestial dragon; when Lei Zhe was still the chaotic Lei Zhe it was, the celestial dragon emerged from this chaotic land.

  The second picture was about the era created by Lei Zhe; how he explored, suppressed the chaos in the land and developed this chaotic land.

  The third was how Lei Zhe and Hua Xu met each other and connected with each other.

  The fourth one drew how Sui Sovereign was born into this world as he hatched from the dragon-snake egg with flames around him.

  The fifth was the recording of a battle between the innate dragon where his golden blood splattered across the battlefield. But which battle it was exactly was unknown.

  The sixth was the birth of Fuxi; which when the first Fuxi was born, even the innate dragon god and innate snake god came to celebrate it, and gods and demons surrounded the infant as they blessed the infant who had the images of sun and moon emerging on his forehead.

  The seventh was about the Fuxi becoming the Heavenly Monarch Earthly Sovereign to usher in the Earth Order Era.

  The eighth was about the the return of the Fuxi descendants at the Ancient Court to pray for their ancestors and the many young Fuxi attending their Coming of Age Ceremony in Lei Zhe.

  …

  One after another, Zhong Yue dwelled on these drawings. There were a total of fourteen pictures and they depicted everything that had happened in history up to the point that Fuxi created the Six Paths and Hou Tu built up Reincarnation. The fourteenth picture was wiped away for some reason, leaving only a mess behind.

  “This picture drew the annihilation of Fuxi by Fuxi.”

  Then came an old wizend voice from behind. Zhong Yue turned around and saw an old man with a dragon head walking towards him with his hair and dragon beard swaying about with his steps.

  “But what was in the picture was a complete tragedy and there are also secrets that should not be revealed. Thus, the drawing was removed,” said the old man, “Before that, let me introduce myself, I am the clan master of the Leizhe Celestial Race. Greetings, my younger cousin.”

  Zhong Yue had a shock and as he hurriedly greeted back, he said, “Patriarch, why did you call me cousin? From your looks, you are probably about hundred thousand years old at least.”

  “That’s because Hua Xu and Lei Zhe were on the same level and generation, both were the parents of Fuxi with Hua Xu being the mother and Lei Zhe being the father. However, whether be it Great Sui or Fuxi, no matter which surname they go with, it will be disrespectful to either Hua Xu or Lei Zhe. Hence, under the orders of Hua Xu and Lei Zhe, Great Sui detached from the two clans and created his own clan, started the Flame Order Era and ruling it entirely. Then, Great Sui gave birth to Fuxi in the same situation as well; thus, we are all in the end, related.”

  The old clan master explained, “As the inheritor of Xin Huo, you are just like the inheritor of the first Sui Sovereign, which makes little to none of us alive to be able to be more elderly than you. However, because of your young age, I’ve thickened my old face to call you my cousin.”

  “So that’s how it is.” Zhong Yue nodded.

  At this time, Xin Huo popped out from nowhere and after looking at this old man from head to toes, he said, “With that age of yours, you must have experienced that tragic event in the ancient era. You definitely know what happened and now that you met with your relative, don’t you think you should explain to us what happened?”

  To his dismay, the old man rejected, “No, I can’t. The magnificent flame created by Great Sui, you have seen the situation we are in now and how much power do you think is required to annihilate us?”

  Xin Huo was stunned and after a moment, he lowered his head in disappointment and the flame darkened down significantly.

  Now, Leizhe Celestial Race was much weaker than before and even if he could still tell that there were still monstrous characters hidden in the Lei Zhe Galaxy, this race was still in a bad situation.

  Once a great race with descendants that created two eras, the Leiahe Celestial Race had now deteriorated to a race of extremely low population.

  “Tribulating the Lei Zhe had always been the tradition of Fuxi Celestial Race. Back when the Fuxi Clan was still in their peak, they would select the brightest disciples from everywhere. There would be hundreds of thousands of Fuxi disciples taking part in the challenge and only a few could pass,” said the old clan master, “That place, is made especially for you Fuxi by the first Lei Zhe. None of us would use it because as lighting ourselves, there was no use for us to go in there. However, this place was abandoned for at least a hundred thousand years and it was only activated two hundred years go for that Fuxi girl. Now, with your arrival, this place will be reactivated again but… What a shame, once there were hundreds thousands Fuxis and now, there is only you.”

  He sighed and Zhong Yue too felt bitter.

  Xin Huo remained silent for quite some time and he said, “Brat Yue, I will pass you the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]. It will be of great help to you there.”

  With that said, he immediately transmitted the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] into Zhong Yue’s mind, which shocked the Leizhe old clan master.

  The old clan master immediately said, “If he is the inheritor, why did you only teach him the art now? Has he not received anything from you, the Flame of Inheritance?”

  “His bloodline is not pure, he is only half a Fuxi so I took him as a half inheritor. I taught him nothing apart from two arts.”

  The old clan master then murmured, “That Fuxi girl was a pureblood but she’s….”

  “I’ve seen her before but I won’t choose her. She has no feelings,” said Xin Huo, “Besides, I do not like female inheritors for they are quite a fuss. I once had one but each time I wanted her to give birth to expand the numbers of Fuxi, she would always reject my suggestions and say that it must be mutual love. Unlike females, those male inheritors would just go on with my suggestion as long the target was a female.”

  Zhong Yue who stood at the side of them immediately flushed and he said, “No… It must be a mutual love….”

  “Then what about the girl with the whip then?” mocked Xin Huo.

  Zhong Yue’s face turned even redder and he failed to say anything else.

  “And that is why my inheritor must be a male! Males are shameless!”

  Suddenly, Xin Huo remembered Zhong Yue was standing at the side and he quickly said, “No, I’m not talking about you. Ermm, you need to work hard and give birth to a pureblood Fuxi as soon as possible!”

  The old clan master’s mind went blank completely and after a moment, he thought, The Flame of Inheritance does not look reliable at all and is this half inheritor reliable or not? But without acquiring the complete inheritance, being taught with only two arts and
partially awakened bloodline, his potential is terrific to be able to reach this point.

  He hesitated for a moment right away after knowing the situation. The reason he ordered Creator He Lan to bring Zhong Yue here to attend the Coming to Age Ceremony was that he heard of Zhong Yue from Creator He Lan and thought that he was the current Xin Huo inheritor.

  Even with his bloodline partially awakened, as long as Zhong Yue was a Xin Huo inheritor, he would still be worthy enough for the clan master to reactivate Lei Zhe.

  But now, the worthiness of Zhong Yue was greatly reduced upon the revelation that he was only half an inheritor.

  So be it. There is only one and a half Fuxi in this world now and there are no more Fuxi apart from them.

  With this thought in his mind, the Lei Zhe old clan master made up his mind and said, “Cousin, please come here.”

  Zhong Yue then followed him to the back of the palace where it was entirely covered in shadowy surging mists which couldn’t be seen clearly.

  The old clan master then took out an ancient scepter and pointed at the piece of chaos, which the shadowy mists dispersed and revealed an old tablet.

  Ancient Lei Zhe Realm.

  Written the tablet.

  “This is the only chaotic land that was not cleared. This place is wild and ancient at the same time. You’ve been to Pure Yang Lei Zhe, haven’t you? Pure Yang Lei Zhe is the branding of this place.”

  As soon as the old clan master wanted to explain more to Zhong Yue, his expression changed right away and he pushed Zhong Yue towards the front strongly as he hurried him, “Get in there, quick and be careful!”

  Zhong Yue immediately lost his balance and fell right into the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm.

  The old clan master then took in a long breath and murmured as he walked out from the sacred palace, “So it’s finally time.”

  Meanwhile, in the Heaven Court of Lei Zhe Six Path World, celestial ray engulfed a platform where huge eyeballs rolled everywhere in the celestial ray as they gazed into the Lei Zhe Galaxy.

  “My lord, the stars gave path within the Lei Zhe Galaxy when Creator He Lan entered Lei Zhe!”
