  “He’s still binge drinking.” replied the Fuxi celestial being after a slight hesitation.

  “Still drinking?”

  Zhong Yue calmly said, “I am here with important affairs and the commander scroll from both Heavenly Monarch and the monarch race Panhu Clan. They’ve tasked me with an important mission but what do we have here? The elders refused to see me and the clan master avoided me by binge drinking. I suppose the Fuxi Celestial Race will not be able to take the punishment for delaying the mission even when you are all great contributors?”

  The young celestial being immediately said, “I will take you to the clan master, then the elders. Please, you must convince them.”

  Zhong Yue nodded, “See this little one from the Hundun Clan here? He is the future Hundun Clan’s clan master, hereby following under the Hundun Clan’s order to visit you Fuxi. The branch in his hand is a monarch weapon! Even if they took me so seriously, how could the Fuxi Celestial Race give me such cold treatment?”

  The Fuxi celestial being had a scare and he immediately greeted Hundun Yu politely, This boy is huge! But Mister Wuji is impressive! He managed to drag Hundun Clan along with him!

  Hundun Yu greeted back and shown no further interest to him.

  The Fuxi celestial being did not even mind about this, bent slightly as he led the way and Zhong Yue almost failed to stop himself from striking this Fuxi down upon seeing how low he set himself to be!

  This Fuxi has been kneeling for so long that even his waist is bent! Is he from the clan master’s branch or the traitors’ branches?

  Not long later, they arrived at the unworldly world’s palace, where there was no one and the Fuxi celestial being bowed again, “A moment please, Mister Wuji, I’ll get the clan master and the elders.”

  With a nod, Zhong Yue put his attention onto the surrounding; this sacred palace was a very simple one, apart from pillars that supported the palace, there were supposedly some wall paintings that were scraped off, leaving only some scarps on the walls.

  Not long later, footsteps were heard and a drunkard walked unsteadily and sat right onto the seat of the clan master.

  Zhong Yue looked towards this drunk man that looked very young, but when he stared into the drunkard’s eyes, he saw only sadness and bitterness; this man looked just like an old lion that had lost his glorious might.

  Through his face, Zhong Yue could also vaguely identify how he looked when he was young.

  70,000 years ago, Zhong Yue saw him, witnessed his growth from a baby to a teenager, how he was bullied and treated as the son of a traitor.

  He was the Fuxi Celestial Race’s current clan master, the son of Feng Changyang, had the same surname as his father and his name is Jikai.

  His name had two meanings, which were remembrance and inheritance.

  Feng Changyang gave him this name in the hope that Feng Jikai would be able to inherit the will of the ancestors, creating a whole new peaceful world for his people and recover the race’s former glory.

  But now, Feng Jikai was nothing but just a drunkard that did not even notice Zhong Yue’s presence.

  “Jikai, you have wronged your father,” said Zhong Yue softly all of a sudden.

  The clan master who was pouring wine into his mouth stopped without a sign, turned around and looked into Zhong Yue’s eyes with endless divine ray launching out that outshined even billion suns!

  But the abnormal state appeared only for a split second and the man fell back onto the seat as he continued drinking.

  “Do you still remember the ghost from the future that your father always speaks of?” Zhong Yue speaks softly, “He’s here now. He watched you being born, witnessed your growth and he is here for you now.” replied Zhong Yue softly.

  Bang—

  The bottle in Feng Jikai’s hand burst into pieces and the wine splashed everywhere. He looked at Zhong Yue mindlessly as a thick voice rumbled in the sacred palace.

  “The ghosts that listened to my father every time is here for me.”

  His body trembled as he stared right at Zhong Yue as he knew about the two ghosts that his father constantly spoke about.

  His father told him that he tried to head into the future and that was when two uninvited guests from the future boarded his ship, followed him back to the present from the future.

  These two guests then stayed with him from then on, never leaving, observing everything he did and becoming the force that kept him from swaying from the path.

  “They watched you being born into the world and growing, but you can’t see them.”

  Feng Changyang always told him, “Perhaps in the future, they will come looking for you and tell you about this. This is your secret, one that you mustn’t tell anyone. Bury it deep into your heart and wait for them.”

  “I know nothing of their intentions but if they were bad guys, things wouldn’t be any worse right now.”

  “You will have to stay here and live in this cage. If you are a lion, keep your claws away, act like a gentle cat, hide your talents like a Jiao Dragon underwater, act like a harmless water snake, pretend that you are weak and endure the humiliations hurled on you.”

  “You will become a Fuxi once again, a real Fuxi who stands upright with his head high!”

  Feng Jikai felt an energy surge within him. He had been enduring and hiding himself for way too long that he no longer knows if his blood was burning hot!

  After kneeling on the ground for so long, would he even be able to take a stand again?

  His body shivered, and his Yuan Shen trembled. But the divine light in his eyes became brighter!

  The “ghosts” had arrived!

  The “ghosts” father talked about are here looking for me!

  This was a secret not known to anyone else but him. He never spoke a word about this. Hence, this half Fuxi and half Panhu man in front of him was definitely the ghost his father spoke off!

  “But why you?”

  Feng Jikai’s eyes closed, covering the divine light entirely and laughed disappointedly, “Why a dog? I feel like a joke now. I’ve waited 70,000 years, keeping myself in my peak form, maintaining myself every single day only to discover I’ve been waiting for 70,000 years for a dog!”

  Zhong Yue walked up right away and Feng Jikai shouted at him coldly, “Stop right there! I do not want my hands to get tainted by your filthy blood!”

  “My surname is Zhong, a human Fuxi Celestial Race, the Xin Huo inheritor. This is just my disguise. This is how I really look.”

  Just as Zhong Yue was about to disperse the [Sky Clouding Sun Changing Art], reveal himself, a burst of loud laughter burst out and Zhong Yue stopped right away.

  Feng Jikai’s eyes widened and closed back in a split second, falling back into the seat and continuing to drink.

  “Clan master, I am here under the Heavenly Monarch’s order and the Panhu Clan’s invitation to request the Fuxi Celestial Race’s aid. Let’s work together and eliminate the Yinkang Clan.”

  Zhong Yue vanished away from the front of Feng Jikai, appearing on a seat along the hall and saying, “Please accept the mission!”

  Feng Jikai opened his eyes slightly and replied calmly, “Our Fuxi Celestial Race can only stay here. Not a single foot is allowed in the Zi Wei Galaxy. Rules are rules. Besides, this is the unworldly world, a world not within the universe so anything outside of the unworldly world has nothing to do with us.”

  Suddenly, another old voice was heard, “Please think again, clan master!”

  Zhong Yue turned around and saw a few Fuxi Celestial Race’s elders entering the sacred palace. He grabbed a seat for themselves and sat down; each of these elders were emitting dangerous presences to Zhong Yue and they were peak Imperial Emperors not weaker than Fu Baochu!

  They then greeted Zhong Yue, who greeted back hurriedly and said, “Greetings, elders! What great timing! We were just talking about borrowing an army from the Fuxi Celestial Rac
e. To be honest, Wu Ji is here with the commander scroll from Heavenly Monarch and the Panhu Clan. The Hundun Clan’s future clan master is also here today to show you how much we respect and admire your race. We are here with sincerity but never thought the clan master would turn us down.”

  He placed himself in a very low position, acting just like how Feng Wuji did. He imitated him so well that even someone close to Feng Wuji was unable to see any difference.

  These elders were from the traitors’ branch and the ancient great presences that were reborn into the Fuxi Celestial Race. They all smiled and said, “How sincere, Little Friend Wuji!”

  “Clan master, though we are in the unworldly world where we are not under the Heavenly Monarch’s rule, we are still related to whatever happens out there!”

  A red-faced elder named Fu Baozheng laughed, “Now that the Zi Wei is in total chaos, becoming the new Heavenly Monarch is our chance to escape from this world! Even the Hundun Clan has chosen a side, how can we still sit out?”

  Another female elder named Fu Baoer smiled, “Choosing the right side now and we shall be able to have a piece of the cake, freeing ourselves from this shackle. Back then, this old hag is also a very powerful one but it is really a shame that if I had to spend my remaining life here!”

  “There is definitely a chance for us in this war!”

  Another elder called Fu Baotian played with his beard and said, “Clan master is after all, still very young. You may not know how interesting the outside world is but we know just how interested it is. There are endless precious items, beautiful places, and pretty ladies! You have been living boringly in this place and we old ones here are willing to take you out for some entertainment!”

  Another fierce-looking elder, Fu Baochi, smirked, “Back then, in order to destroy the Earth Order Era of the Fuxi Celestial Race, do you know just how much blood and effort we spilled? Hmph!”

  He said angrily, “We are the ones that helped them win the war! Damn it! Once they harvested the fruit, they cast us aside and suppressed us here! In the end, we got nothing. If we don’t fight for it anymore, we will all die here like dogs!”

  Hearing his words, the hatred buried in these elders exploded, and the female elder Fu Baoer said fiercely, “We won the war for them, but instead of accolades, we get treated like traitors! I’ve had enough of this! Clan master, the choice is not on you now!”

  “That’s right! Even beggars are living better than us!”

  The red face elder, Fu Baozheng’s expression also changed as he smirked, “We contributed so much and they did not even give us anything! If they are so cruel, then they can’t blame us for what we are going to do! If we can destroy the Earth Order Era, then we can destroy this era and cultivate a Heavenly Monarch that will side with us!”

  Deep down, Zhong Yue smirked, These traitors are such low-lives! They all have no shame at all!

  “Dear elders, you are right.”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “Please consider this, clan master. To be frank, I am feeling angry for all of you, elders. You have all worked hard, willing to carry the name of a traitor on you. It really is a pity that you are all imprisoned here like prisoners despite your contributions! Clan master, why can’t you just support the elders?”

  Feng Jikai’s vision landed onto Zhong Yue, his heart thumped as he immediately knew what Zhong Yue meant and he stood up as he said, “How much power do you think I have over the race? It is just an empty title, if you want to go, then get out of here!”

  The elders all burst out laughing and the female elder replied, “You are a clan master and we still have to respect that, after all.”

  Feng Jikai laughed coldly and took his leave right away.

  “This brat! He will drink himself to death one day!”

  The elders stood up and laughed, “After drinking for so many years, he had already wasted his great talent. There is nothing he can do now. He’s not a problem.”

  Zhong Yue then stood up and bowed, “Elders, it is an honor that Wuji is able to have you help!”

  “Please, there is no need for such politeness, little Wuji.”

  Fu Baoer smiled, “We are friends with your teacher so you are on our side. We agreed to help you because we are getting tired of this place.”

  Zhong Yue acted extremely grateful and he hesitated, “Dear elders, the Heavenly River Naval Fleet and the Panhu Clan’s naval had gone to attack the Yinkang Clan. The Yinkang Clan is planning to betray the Heavenly Monarch. After fearing that they would not be able to take down Yinkang Clan, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet and Panhu Clan had me request help from the Fuxi Celestial Race.”

  The many elders nodded and they smiled, “Yinkang Clan? They are easy prey. Don’t worry.”

  Zhong Yue hesitated again and he said, “Dear elders, I heard that a Fuxi will not be limited by the curse if he activates this Fuxi bloodline here? If I may, can I stay here for a few days? And also, once elders have arrived at the Heavenly River Naval Fleet, please tell them you are the reinforcements and that I am the one that invited you over!”

  He laughed, “So that I will be in the list when Heavenly Monarch is rewarding the contributors.”

  “How cunning! Don’t worry, we will make sure to do what you requested. Do you need our help in activating your Fuxi bloodline?” replied the elders with a smile.

  Zhong Yue then answered seriously, “It’s alright. The frontline is in urgent need of your help so please, head over there as soon as possible. After removing the Yinkang Clan, I wish that dear elders will be able to enjoy your time in the outside world! There is no need to trouble you all over such puny matter!”

  Right now, the elders had grown very fond of him and they praised, “Little Wuji is really nice! One day, you will become one of the paragons of this world!”

  Zhong Yue then walked the elders to the border of the unworldly world, watching them disappear into the layers of seals. He thought, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will not watch the Yinkang Clan being wiped out. If these traitors show up, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will definitely act. How many of them will survive depends on how much strength Imperial Emperor Xian Tian used now.

  Chapter 976: The Metal and Blood Is Still Here |

  The only reason he kept convincing these elders to help the attackers was just to lure out Imperial Emperor Xian Tian so that he would slaughter these elders!

  With that, the Yinkang Clan would be kept away from harm and these pests of the Fuxi Celestial Race will be killed!

  These old dogs were all cold blooded and evil; like sharks, they would expose their fangs whenever they smelled blood!

  Initially, after the disappearance of Feng Qingyu and the death of Fu Baochu, they were unwilling to see Feng Wuji. But with only a few words, Zhong Yue was able to draw out the greed in their hearts, baiting them to volunteer themselves to head out to their deaths.

  In the unworldly world, Zhong Yue had no way of delaing with them, but on the outside, Zhong Yue had more than 1,000 ways to kill them!

  Are there monarch level existences in this unworldly world?

  Zhong Yue thought; the elders were just like Fu Baochu, though powerful as well, they were all Imperial Emperors inferior to monarch level existences.

  70,000 years ago, Zhong Yue saw two monarchs living here. The older Fuxi generation was no stranger to him. After all, he had been “living” here for about 70 years.

  Whether it be Fu Baozheng, Fu Baoer, or the others, they were all very familiar in Zhong Yue’s eyes. Everything about them was crystal clear in Zhong Yue’s eyes.

  Back then, there were still a lot of traitors and gods from other races that were reborn into the Fuxi Celestial Race. But now, most of them had already passed away.

  Hence, after 70,000 years, whether or not the monarchs were still alive remained a mystery.

  What worried Zhong Yue the most were these two monarchs as he was not confident that the [Sky Clouding Sun Changing Art] would escape their detection.

  And now
, Zhong Yue was a little relieved after these two monarchs had yet to reveal themselves.

  And there was still Clan Master Feng Changyang’s brother, Feng Changtai.

  The scene of Feng Changyang ramming himself onto Feng Changtai’s sword, dying in the hands of his brother emerged in Zhong Yue’s mind.

  Zhong Yue knew just how hard the brothers had worked for the Fuxi Celestial Race; the elder brother, Feng Changyang unleashed massacre onto the betrayers and gods reborn into the Fuxi Celestial Race, and even killing two monarchs to ease his negative emotions.

  Whereas for the younger brother, Feng Changtai killed his respected brother in order to protect the final Fuxi Celestial Race’s lineage.

  While Feng Changyang died an honorable death, his younger brother, Feng Changtai was the one suffering the most as he would always be haunted by the pain of killing his own brother.

  Zhong Yue calmed his mind as the young Fuxi clan master walked towards him in the same manner, drinking and walked stumblingly.

  “Come, let’s walk,” said Zhong Yue calmly as he walked away while Feng Jikai followed silently.

  Zhong Yue walked around like he was very familiar, lingered everywhere, hiked the mountains and not long later, they stopped before a cliff.

  Zhong Yue then launched out a few patterns, which turned into totem patterns that appeared to be the key’s teeth and branded into the mountain.

  Feng Jikai was surprised; as the Fuxi Celestial Race’s clan master, this was the first time ever he knew that there was such a place.

  Zhong Yue entered the mountain’s body and Feng Jikai followed right away while Hundun Yu remained outside; inside the mountain was a very vast space and all sorts of knowledge were everywhere, telling the visitors about the process of a monarch cultivating an art.

  “This is where you father cultivated and perfected the [Time Light Spacial Crystal Mystic Scripture].”

  Zhong Yue said, “These are his understandings towards the [Time Light Spacial Crystal Mystic Scripture]. He had incredible talent, but pity, he did not have receive the entire [Time Light Spacial Crystal Mystic Scripture], which prevented him from infusing this art with the Six Paths Reincarnation.”
