"Boom!"
The boundless Purple Sword Qi clashed with the black Divine Thunder, and endless Emperor’s Aura circulated. Wave-like ripples resembling Immortal Feathers erged, the Spiritual Energy in the surrounding space first halted, then erupted violently into action, and thereafter the entire space shattered loudly. Boundless Chaos Qi poured into space through the pitch-black cracks.
The gray Qi completely eroded the Yellow River’s waters into turbid earthy yellow.
In the sky, the Eye of Heavenly Punishnt grew furious. Unwilling to concede, it blinked again, feigned a few tis, and then vanished without a trace.
The Heavenly Dao is impartial, rewarding the good and punishing the wicked! Since the Eight Diagrams have evaded both the Heavenly Tribulation and Heavenly Punishnt, naturally, they must have a reason to exist and a right to be passed down to the world.
"Zoom!"
Fu Xi, seeing the dark clouds dissipate and the Eye of Divine Punishnt disappear, smiled refreshingly, his stature suddenly relaxed, and he was gently carried to the summit of Chengji Mountain by a gentle force. However, his aura of a Half-step Saint was wholly gone.
This Emperor’s Aura was trendous, but after all, Fu Xi had a Golden Immortal Body. Using this power for an extended period, Fu Xi’s body would eventually collapse. Therefore, the Kongtong Seal retracted its power on its own.
Fu Xi looked at the Eight Diagrams drifting in the Void, smiled faintly, and said: "It seems that the hope of our human clan has been preserved!"
"Boom!"
Just at this mont, the wind and clouds in the sky rose again, and the boundless rit Cloud quietly arrived.
The Eight Diagrams erged from the tribulation; sensing this, the Heavenly Dao naturally bestowed boundless rit. Fu Xi received rit, and a misty rosy light shone over a thousand miles.
After two hours had passed, Fu Xi opened his eyes. At this mont, his eyes were filled with wisdom, occasionally revealing traces of age. His Cultivation had indeed stepped into the realm of a Daluo Golden Immortal! Having lived two lifetis, Fu Xi naturally had his realizations, looking at the Cangqiong Universe, he felt an indescribable sentint.
From then on, Fu Xi used the divination diagrams to lead his people in avoiding natural disasters, and since then the Feng Yan Tribe experienced favorable weather with very few tribesn dying in natural calamities.
Fu Xi created the Eight Diagrams and used them to benefit the people. His virtue spread throughout the Four Seas, and his might shocked the Eight Desolations! Originally, only the people within the Feng Yan Tribe revered Fu Xi as their Sovereign, but more and more human tribes ca to join. Soon, the entire Inland Human Clan of the Huaxia Divine Land all revered him as their Shared Ruler!
Fu Xi also knew that he was destined to be the Human Emperor’s realm and that diligent cultivation could make one a Saint. Since being the Human Clan’s Shared Ruler was determined by the Heavenly Dao, he did not refuse it.
Twenty years later, Fu Xi ordered people to establish a city a hundred miles away from the Feng Yan Tribe, naming it Chen Cang; the world would later also call it the Chen Capital.
Fu Xi recalled Laozi’s words when he left: "To fully understand the Dao within oneself, one must pray to Heaven and Earth and return to the Human Emperor." Thus, he commanded the construction of a high platform in the center of the Chen Capital. Furthermore, Fu Xi announced that he would ascend as the Human Emperor on the high platform in a hundred days.
The news of Fu Xi’s ascension spread throughout the Human Clan, attracting countless people from all directions. During this ti, even the overseas tribes who had not acknowledged Fu Xi also ca forth to pay their respects!
After a hundred days, a nearly hundred-foot-tall heavenly platform erged from the center of the Chen Capital. The entire platform was built with the woods of the southern mountains as the foundation and Phoebe zhennan wood for beams. Although not extravagant, it embodied simplicity and dignity.
By this ti, the Chen Capital was already filled with the Human Clan. There were those who ca from nearby, but many more had traveled from afar, all yearning to witness the Shared Ruler of the Human Clan’s grace!
"Hum!"
A sound of the zither suddenly resounded, echoing in everyone’s ears. People stopped in their tracks, looked up at the towering platform reaching into the Nine Heavens!
Atop the platform stood five stone carvings, representing the Taiching Supre Lord of the Human Sect, Holy Mother Nuwa, Saint Mother Earth, Holy Father Lord Qingmingzi, and the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhen Yuanzi.
In front of the four statues were altars with offerings to the six dostic animals, and the soothing scent of Sandalwood Incense spiraled up. The people standing below the platform didn’t dare to speak loudly, lest they desecrate the Saints!
After an incense stick burned, accompanied by the sound of the zither, Fu Xi appeared, dressed in a bright yellow beast skin clothing, his snow-white hair securely fastened behind his head with a wooden hairpin. This attire of the Human Clan clearly expressed his intentions.
Fu Xi reached the base of the platform. Instead of imdiately stepping onto it, he stood there quietly waiting. Although the crowd was puzzled, they dared not approach and ask, so they waited along with Fu Xi.
After about an hour, just as the attendees were growing impatient, they saw eight Seven-colored Auspicious Clouds approaching from afar in the sky, and on them stood the long-forgotten Human Clan’s Eight Ancestors.
The elder of the Feng Yan Tribe, Patriarch Hua Feng, recognized them, promptly knelt on the ground, and loudly exclaid: "Feng Yan Tribe’s Hua Feng, along with the tribespeople, pay respects to the eight great Ancestors!"
Fu Xi looked at the Eight Ancestors, who had once obstructed him in front of Wuzhuang Temple, with complex emotions. After a long sigh, he went to greet them.
"Human Clan’s Fu Xi pays respects to the great Ancestors!" FU Xi lifted his beast skin clothing and kneeled on one knee to the ground.
Sui Ren and the others were startled. Although Fu Xi had many grievances with the human clan in his previous life, in this life, he invented nets, created runes to record things, established human marriage customs... Most importantly, he created the Eight Diagrams that foretold good and misfortunes for the Human Clan, and he almost obliterated in the terrifying combination of Heavenly Tribulation and Heavenly Punishnt.
Fu Xi had done so much for the Human Clan that, even if the grudges of the past life were deep, they had been offset by each other.
Besides, Fu Xi was the Heavenly Determined Human Emperor. Sui Ren and the others naturally dared not accept such a grand gesture. They quickly stepped aside and said: "Fellow Daoist, please refrain from giving such a great courtesy. You are now the esteed Sovereign of the Human Clan. From now on, let us address each other as Fellow Daoists!"
Fu Xi gave a weary smile and stood up, saying, "The events of that year were about doing our humanly best and leaving the rest to destiny. I, Fu Xi, had no other choice. I hope my fellow Daoists do not bla for this!"
Sui Ren and the other seven Ancestors of the Human Clan exchanged glances and said, "Fellow Daoist, in this life you have given so much for our Human Clan, how could we possibly bla you?"
Fu Xi was about to say sothing when he heard Zen chants coming from the Western sky:
"A Daluo Golden Immortal’s supre awakening, mysterious Golden Lotus manifests in silence. rit embodied, the Kasaya drapes upon it, forming a bond with a Bowl worth a thousand gold!"
Following the chants was a young monk. His head was adorned with Buddha’s verses sprinkled with glittering gemstones, and he wore a bright yellow Buddha Kasaya that was even more dazzling than the sun. The golden Buddha Golden Wheel behind his head would appear and disappear intermittently, giving the impression of a fine sight.
"Amitabha Buddha! Emperor Fu Xi, Pharmacist the Light King Buddha offers his greetings!" The monk was none other than the Pharmacist, sent by the Western Sect to congratulate the Human Emperor’s ascension.
Although Fu Xi disdained the actions of Jieyin and Zhunti, as the saying goes, ’Do not strike the smiling face that reaches out to you.’ Now that the Western Sect had sent a Buddha’s son to witness the event, Fu Xi naturally couldn’t spurn the face of a Saint.
Fu Xi chuckled and said, "Haha, fellow Daoist, I return your polite greetings!"
"Hahaha, we are indeed late!" Just at that mont, three auspicious clouds arrived. The first to speak was Tongtian’s foremost disciple, Duo Bao.
Guang Chengzi wore a polite smile and said, "Brother Duo Bao, had you not greedily drunk Master Brother’s Ten-thousand-year-old Purple Bamboo Brew, would we have missed the hour?"
"Nonsense, don’t tell you didn’t drink so too?" Duo Bao snorted disdainfully at Guang Chengzi and said.
"You two cut it out! Don’t lose the dignity of our Sanqing Saint Sect!" Xuan Dou, in the middle, wore a stern face, yet the occasional smile at the corners of his eyes indicated his happy mood.
Fu Xi looked at the three and laughed heartily, "Hahaha, the three fellow Daoists are truly of genuine nature!"
Xuan Dou and the other two descended from the clouds and bowed to Fu Xi, saying, "Duo Bao, Guang Chengzi, and Xuan Dou pay their respects to Your Majesty, the Emperor!"
Fu Xi returned the gesture and asked Xuan Dou, "Brother, how has our Master been in recent years?"
Xuan Dou was startled at being addressed as ’brother’ by Fu Xi, but then reflected that although he was reincarnated from a Demon Clan Saint, his present life was indeed spent under the tutelage of Laozi, so the address was not incorrect.
With this in mind, Xuan Dou quickly replied, "Master has been well, please be at ease, Your Majesty!"
Fu Xi nodded slightly and then looked up at the sky, declaring, "Now that all the fellow Daoists have arrived, let the grand ceremony of the Human Emperor comnce!"
All Saints under the skies exchanged glances and said, "Good!"
Fu Xi stepped onto the dais in the void, and with his hand, a radiant light flashed, revealing five sticks of sandalwood incense.
Fu Xi bowed three tis to the five stone carvings, saying, "I am Fu Xi of the Human Clan! Since the Holy Father and Holy Mother created humans, though our clan has faced nurous hardships, we have never faltered. I thank the Holy Parents for their creation, the Ancestor of Earth Immortals for their past protection, and Taiching Sect Master for his blessings!"
After speaking, Fu Xi bowed nine more tis and placed the incense sticks in the incense burner.
Countless of the Human Clan followed Fu Xi’s lead, bowing three tis and kowtowing nine tis to express their gratitude to all the Saints.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, endless golden clouds appeared in the sky, with golden dragons soaring, colorful phoenixes dancing, and myriad miraculous sights flashing spontaneously.
Fu Xi stood up solemnly and lifted his head to let out a long howl, "The Human Clan first suffered unprovoked slaughters by the Witch Tribe and then endured the Witch Demon wars, losing many stars. Such humiliation shall never be forgotten by the Human Clan. Today, I, Fu Xi, worship Heaven and Earth, affirming the rank of the Shared Ruler and the position of the Human Emperor! Hereafter, I shall proceed with caution, as if treading on thin ice, leading the Human Clan towards the path of rebirth. May Heaven and Earth bear witness, may the mountains and rivers stand still, and may this heart endure forever!"
All mbers of the Human Clan fell to the ground upon hearing Fu Xi’s prayer to Heaven, crying out with hoarse voices, "The Shared Ruler’s virtue is grand, long live the Emperor of Humans!"
"Whoosh!"
A streak of golden light descended upon the high platform, as Fu Xi ultimately attained the position of Human Emperor. In the sky, nine golden Divine Dragons danced up and down, with a golden crown radiating golden light flying towards Fu Xi’s head.
The entire crown was golden yellow, adorned with nine lifelike dancing dragons, emanating a strong imperial aura.
Then a voice coming from the direction of the Netherworld Blood Sea declared, "By decree of Saintly Father Li Qingming, Fu Xi of the Fengyan Tribe shall be the Shared Ruler of the Human Clan, hereby bestowed with the Emperor’s Treasure, the ’Emperor’s Nine Dragon Crown.’ This object is the proof of the Emperor’s authority, able to suppress one’s Qi Fortune and ward off all evil! Fu Xi, in your future governance of the Human Clan, you must be diligent!"
Fu Xi, wearing the Emperor’s Nine Dragon Crown, knelt and bowed, saying, "I shall follow the Holy Father’s decree!"
"Long live the Emperor of Humans, long live the Human Clan..."
The entire Chen Capital erupted, with countless mbers of the Human Clan looking up at Emperor Fu Xi with tearful eyes.
The grand era belonging to the Human Clan had finally arrived! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welco to cast your recomndation votes and monthly votes at Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian to read.)
