Chapter 201: Chapter 182, Heavenly Emperor Perfection_2

...

The aged Fu Xi followed Bai Jin through Chen, where the hustle and bustle was extraordinary. All the Human Clan members who passed by bowed respectfully to Fu Xi and sent him off with reverent gazes.

Bai Jin said with a smile, "When you first came to me seeking to learn, you were quite mischievous! Now, you have become the Co-Emperor of the Human Clan, leading them to soar."

Fu Xi held back a smile and his eyes carried a hue of remembrance as he sighed, "Indeed! Teacher still looks the same as before, while I have grown old."

Bai Jin gave Fu Xi a look and said, "Back then, I asked you whether you wanted to learn the art of cultivation or my way of governance. You chose the latter. Do you have any regrets now?"

Fu Xi shook his head and replied, "No regrets! Thank you, teacher, for your guidance all these years."

"It was all realized by yourself."

Fu Xi revealed a slight smile, and then asked, "Teacher, after I die, will you leave?"

Bai Jin nodded and said, "Correct."

"I hope my teacher can bury me in Thunder Marsh. That is where I began, the place where I was happiest. I wish to slumber there."

Bai Jin said with a laugh, "We can talk about that when the time comes." He turned his head to look around, where crowds of Human Clan people were paying with Copper Coins, and the weight of the Treasure Money grew even greater.

A trace of worry appeared in Fu Xi’s eyes. With the Human Clan’s strength growing, Fu Xi could feel even more the dangers of the Primordial World. The Human Clan was still very weak, facing many, many difficulties, but he no longer had much time to look after them, and his teacher would also leave.

Several years later, the elderly Fu Xi left Chen, accompanied by hundreds of Human Clan Cultivators hidden to his left and right, loyally guarding Fu Xi as he went forward.

This departure lasted three years, during which Fu Xi traveled to all corners, watching the sun and the moon across the sky, the stars shifting, experiencing the cold and heat, and the cycle of seasons.

Day and night alternated, flowers bloomed and withered, and his journey encompassed all aspects of life, aging, sickness, and death.

Eventually, Fu Xi came to the banks of the Yellow River to sit in meditation, surrounded by hundreds of cultivators above and below, vigilant and unrelaxing.

A day, a hundred days, half a year passed, Fu Xi sat motionless. If Bai Jin hadn’t continuously nourished his body with Spiritual Energy, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on without eating or drinking.

Wisps of Tao Rhythm emanated from Fu Xi’s body, and the entire Yellow River surged fiercely.

Bai Jin stood above on a cloud head, his heart filled with emotion. Truly worthy of being Fu Xi, to immerse in Enlightenment with a mortal body, to ponder the Laws of Heaven and Earth, impressive indeed! This humble one is unworthy of comparison.

Bai Jin sat cross-legged on the cloud head, closed his eyes, and entered the dream world, straightaway heading into Wa Niangniang’s palace, bowing respectfully and said, "Disciple pays respects to Niangniang!"

The Stone Statue’s eyes flashed with a divine light, slowly looking down at Bai Jin and said, "What is it?"

Bai Jin respectfully replied, "Reporting to Niangniang, uncle-master Fu Xi is immersed in Enlightenment. But with his current mortal state, to succeed in Enlightenment is exceedingly difficult; I plead for Niangniang’s help."

"Go back. Someone has already gone to assist him," the statue once more resumed its stillness, the divine light fading.

Bai Jin stood up, confusion flickering in his mind. Someone had already come to help, but who could it be? Qingluan or Cai Feng?

On the cloud head, Bai Jin opened his eyes, looking downwards.

A figure in black garb silently appeared beside Bai Jin.

Bai Jin tensed, hastily stood up and bowed respectfully, "I pay respects to uncle-master!"

This person was none other than the Devil Master Kunpeng, Lord of the North Sea.

Bai Jin had a guess in his mind; it was actually Devil Master Kunpeng who had come to help. He had thought of many possible people but had not considered him.

"Rise."

"Thank you, uncle-master."

Bai Jin stood up and stood to one side, tentatively asking, "What brings uncle-master here?"

Devil Master Kunpeng, with his hands clasped behind his back, stood on the cloud head and, looking at the figure below, revealed a hint of a smile and said, "To repay cause and effect! In the past you aided me, now I come to aid you."

With a simple gesture towards the river below, the surging Yellow River instantly calmed, its surface splitting aside revealing a deep waterway, as a White Dragon Turtle slowly made its way up from the riverbed.

"Which demon dares to offend the Co-Emperor of the Human Clan?!"

Roar~

Roar~

Boom~

Waves of an aura filled with the intent to kill locked onto the Xuan Turtle, with hundreds of Human Clan Practitioners surfacing and encircling Fu Xi.

Stopping in its tracks, the Xuan Turtle spoke in a muffled tone, "I am the River God of the Yellow River, having heard that the Co-Emperor of the Human Clan is here, I specially come to offer two treasures."

Fu Xi opened his eyes and said, "Let it in!"

The Human Clan Practitioners then made way, watching the Xuan Turtle warily as it swam toward Fu Xi, ready to strike at any moment.

The Xuan Turtle swam before Fu Xi, lowered its dragon head, revealing two scroll paintings on its back, which flew towards Fu Xi and hovered in front of him.

Without thinking, Fu Xi blurted out, "The River Map and Luo Book!" He suddenly paused, a strange feeling rising in his heart, How do I know this name?

Fu Xi took the River Map and Luo Book into his hands and spread them before him for inspection, the Luo Book, despite its name, also depicted diagrams, showing the numerological changes of Heaven and Earth, while the River Map showed the arrangement of the Star River.

Everything has Qi and thus form; with form comes substance, substance begets numerical value, and from numerical value arise images. Combined, the River Map and Luo Book can construct a universe, integrating space and time, giving birth to the evolution and operation of all things.

Lost in contemplation of the two scrolls, one year passed, five years, then ten years, and with a buzz~ a colossal Eight Diagram emerged centered around Fu Xi, with the Eight Diagram spinning, covering ten thousand li of Heaven and Earth—Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun, the Eight Diagrams giving birth to each other, ceaseless and unending, expounding the ultimate meaning of Heaven and Earth.

The hundreds of Human Clan Practitioners were all shaken, followed by wild ecstasy as the Human Emperor was now able to cultivate.

Above the heads of clouds, Kunpeng revealed a smile, looking down at that aged figure, whispering, "Fu Xi, I no longer owe you." The figure silently vanished.

After a long while, the Eight Diagrams dissipated, and Fu Xi, holding the River Map and Luo Book, stood up from the river bank, joyfully exclaiming, "Let us return!"

The Human Clan Practitioners guarded the Human Emperor on his return journey to Chen.

Once back in Chen, Fu Xi immediately set about compiling the art of divination using the Eight Diagrams to help the Human Clan avoid natural and man-made disasters.

After passing down the Eight Diagrams, Fu Xi went outside of Chen to the Bird’s Nest, finding Bai Jin and asking, "Teacher, what will become of the Human Clan after my death?"

Bai Jin calculated for a moment, then smilingly said, "There is a tribe in the South using ’Jiang’ as their surname; within the tribe, there’s a young man called Lie Shan, fit to take your place."

Fu Xi, filled with joy, replied, "Thank you, Teacher," and turned to swim away.

Bai Jin spoke up, "Brother, how do you plan to instruct Lie Shan?"

The Great Master Xuan Du stepped out from the Bird’s Nest and said, "Our Human Sect excels in Alchemy; I can pass on to him the dharma gate of Alchemy, to benefit the Human Clan."

"Brother, instructing the Human Emperor should be primarily guiding, one must not teach everything directly. You can guide him toward finding the path to Alchemy, but you shouldn’t directly impart the alchemy skills; otherwise, the Human Emperor’s merit will not be complete, and he won’t be able to suppress the Human Clan’s Destiny."

Xuan Du, as if enlightened, nodded and gratefully said, "Thank you for the guidance, brother!"

Bai Jin chuckled and said, "This isn’t really guidance, just sharing a little bit of experience."

"But this experience is very important to me."

Fu Xi sent people to bring Lie Shan to Chen where he taught him diligently; five years later, while attending to matters, Fu Xi fainted, never to rise again.

Chen instantly plunged into chaos, the Human Clan Practitioners guarded the Imperial Palace, and despite all Immortal Techniques and Divine Skills employed, they could not awaken Fu Xi, knowing that the Human Emperor’s lifespan was at its end; the Human Clan wailed in unison.

Suddenly, the sky above swirled with purple qi, and the figure of Great Master Xuan Du emerged from the mists.

Fu Xi’s aged body slowly floated out from the Imperial Palace, hovering outside Chen.

All the Human Clan Practitioners also flew out, loyally protecting Fu Xi on either side, eyeing Xuan Du warily, hesitant to make a move.

Fu Xi’s eyelids fluttered, and he slowly opened his eyes, looking around in confusion.

The Great Master Xuan Du smiled and said, "Human Emperor, you are now to receive the imperial instruction from the Taishang Sect Leader!"

Fu Xi, coming to his senses, quickly stood and knelt on a cloud bank.

The other Human Clan Practitioners followed suit in kneeling.

Xuan Du began to read, "The Supreme Venerable Master of the Taoist Heaven decrees: Fu Xi, you are the Primordial Great God, cultivating virtue and seeking the Tao for countless epochs, and were inadvertently drawn into the battle of Witch Demons, facing destruction on the battlefield. Fortunate to be blessed by Wa Niangniang, today you are reborn as human, blessing the Human Clan, and completing a life of utmost virtue and boundless merit.

Now by the command of the Supreme Tao, you are thus bestowed the title of Heavenly Emperor of the Human Clan, with the Daoist name as the God Who Cleared the Earth and Opened the Heavens, henceforth reside at Fire Cloud Cave to cultivate, unmarred by karma, to be immortalized for eternity! Take heed!"
