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. Even 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…”
“Chilian snake that lives on the land?”
Originally, Zhong Yue was paying little to no attention to Xin Huo, who was peeking at the others through his divine third eye, but those words managed to draw his attention. He thought, That snake must be the second disciple of Gu Hongzi, Chi Liannu! That monster girl must be trying to increase her power through harvesting this Jiao Dragon by siphoning off his Yang Qi to enhance her Yin Qi!
He then looked in that direction with his divine third eye, but all he saw was that this Chi Liannu had disappeared into the deep sea with that Jiao Dragon.
That Jiao Dragon is dead for sure!
Zhong Yue then continue thinking, Chi Liannu is a very ruthless person and she would definitely siphon every single bit of this Jiao Dragon’s power and kill him! She probably waited all the while and pretended to be a sea serpent monster so that she could achieve her target after the Ancestral Dragon Ritual!
He then closed his divine third eye so that Xin Huo could no longer peek through that eye, thinking, News about this will reach the ears of the powerful Jiao Dragons in no time! As a disciple of Shi Buyi just like her, I wonder if the problems she gets into will affect me or not, but what if the Jiao Dragons think that I am her partner…
The carnival is still going on, and the Jiao Dragons will not notice the disappearance of this Jiao Dragon at the moment. But they will notice his death in no time, as they have special items like the soul lantern after all. I have to act quickly and leave so that I will not be dragged into the problems created by this monster girl. The most important thing now is the saint weapon of the Kun Peng Race, the Divine Wing Saber!
He got all hyped up as soon as he thought of the Divine Wing Saber, as this saint weapon had no owner and was waiting for him to claim it!
Here I come, the saint weapon that is no weaker than the Pan Long Sword!
Zhong Yue then returned to the Earth Courtyard where Qing He, Long Chun’er, and the others were waiting in their rooms. Right now, Long Chun’er and the other three girls had already acquired their own spirits and became Qi Practitioners.
“Show me your spirits and let me have a look,” Zhong Yue ordered.
Long Chun’er, Long Xia’er, Long Dong’er, and Long Qiu’er quickly showed him their spirits. While Zhong Yue examined their spirits, he realized that the four girls had all picked the same Dragon Goddess!
“We learned from the seniors that this is the spirit of Yushi.” Long Qiu’er quickly told him. “This is a spirit that is listed as one of the highest rank spirits among the Dragon Gods. This spirit is the one that can control the weather, The four of us coincidentally acquired the same spirit.”
Qing He said in some surprise, “Being able to obtain the same spirit at the same time is very rare, and the spirit of Yushi is indeed very powerful. If one manages to merge it with their soul and cultivate the Yuan Shen to the third form, it can bestow great combat power to the owner!”
Zhong Yue nodded and replied, “Since you have all become Qi Practitioners, then we have to leave this place as fast as possible. Qing He, lead them and return to Gu Xia City right now.”
Qing He quickly asked, “Then how about you, Master?”
“I have matters to attend to.” Zhong Yue got up and said, “Make haste, we have no time to spare! I will go and see Ao Fenglou to notify him about our leaving!”
Qing He and the other girls nodded and quietly left the Earth Courtyard immediately. Zhong Yue went to see Ao Fenglou, who was not participating in the carnival and had remained in the Earth Courtyard. When Ao Fenglou was informed by Zhong Yue about his plan to leave, Ao Fenglou hesitated for a moment before nodding. “I think it is good for you to return to East Barren right now, so that after the carnival, the Jiao, Li, and other clans will not be able to bother you. Junior martial brother Zhong…”
Ao Fenglou hesitated again, and finally said, “Don’t put it in your heart.”
Zhong Yue nodded and replied, “I know what you are trying to say, and besides, I received some gains in the Ritual, so don’t worry about me getting all stressed up by it.”
Ao Fenglou was relieved at his words, and said, “Let me send you out of the city.”
The duo then walked to the city gates. When they arrived at their destination, Ao Fenglou said sorrowfully, “Junior martial brother, pardon me for not being able to send you any further, as I have to stay here to watch out for any misbehaving people in the city during the carnival.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Fenglou.” Zhong Yue then bowed, and proceeded on his journey back to East Barren. Not long later after leaving the city, he thought to himself, I have to be far away from the Dragon City so that I can release the Golden Feathery Peng Sword and let it lead me to the Divine Wing Saber!
——
Zhong Yue continued on his journey, but he suddenly stopped as he arrived at a lonely island floating in the middle of nowhere. A slender figure was sitting at the edge of the island, drinking alone.
“How come Brother Qingtu did not join the carnival?” asked Zhong Yue with a smile, as he slowly walked towards the island.
The man sitting at the island looked back at Zhong Yue and replied, “Brother Long Yue, I have been waiting for you. All of them thought that I had defeated you in battle and because of that, I received the Ancestral Dragon’s heritage. But little do they know that we have yet to fight each other. Without beating you, my title as the strongest Awakening level Qi Practitioner in the entire Eastern Sea will be nulled!”
He then stood up and offered Zhong Yue a seat as he said, “And I got here ahead of you as soon as I saw you bidding farewell to senior martial brother Fenglou, to wait for you here. The delayed match between you and I will finally start tonight!”
Zhong Yue set foot on the island as he looked into the eyes of Jiao Qingtu. He also saw that there was a stone table with two stone chairs on the edge of the island.
Jiao Qingtu invited him to seat and poured a glass of wine for Zhong Yue. The duo drank a toast together. Zhong Yue then said, “I, too, want to find out which one of us is stronger and the specialty of the Ancestral Dragon’s heritage.”
The duo toasted one another and knocked their cups together, letting out a clear tinking sound!
