Chapter 548 - “Yi’ (1/2)

Xin Huo falls on his shoulder and said in a solemn tone, "Get your head right, young man! It's the spirit of a Heavenly Monarch, you need at least a thousand years of hard works to achieve the same effect as acquiring the spirit of a Heavenly Monarch! Furthermore, not to mention that you might not even able to do it within a thousand years of time!"

Zhong Yue shook his head, "Xin Huo, I'm very clear of myself and the decision I made. This is the path I have decided to walk on, not the path people granted it to me. I chose it myself and I will see it to the end of this path. But my intelligent is limited, I need the Heavenly Monarch to give me some advice!"

Xin Huo sighed, he stopped persuading the Zhong Shan Clan young man.

"The Fuxi, our most common name always consist of the word, 'Yi', do you know why, my young descendant?", Haoyi asked, his voice was trembling in power.

"Yi?"

Zhong Yue startled, he bowed and answered, "The word 'Yi' is composed of a sun on the top and a moon below."

Haoyi Fuxi said, "Yi, the sun its head and the moon its body."

"Human head and snake body?", Zhong Yue was dawned, the word 'sun' was also looking like a head and the word 'moon' looks just like the body of a snake. 'Yi' was in fact, a simple resemblance to the Fuxi form!

This was part of the reason why all the renowned Fuxi liked to have a 'Yi' word in their names.

"Young child, do you know how to write a 'Yi' word?", Haoyi Fuxi continued asking.

Zhong Yue was puzzled, Haoyi Fuxi has just told him what was 'Yi' and he explained to the Earthly Sovereign as well. Why was the Earthly Sovereign asking him how to write the word 'Yi' now?

Haoyi Fuxi's voice said right after he asked, "The word 'Yi' resembled the Fuxi, can you write a Fuxi?"

Zhong Yue was bewildered, he shook his head. The word 'Yi' resembled the Fuxi, but how could one write our a Fuxi?

He was asked to decode a simple word and yet, all of a sudden, his wide and deep knowledge in the world suddenly seemed so trivial.

Haoyi Fuxi continued, "Then, I shall teach you how to write, a proper 'Yi' word."

As he finished saying, a word 'Yi' shone bright in rays in front of Zhong Yue. It was solemn, grand and filled with an ancient aura. It looked like a bright sun where all the other stars and planets centered around it, it looked like a snake, a dragon that soars and waltzed high up in the heavens.

The word doesn't look like a word anymore, it felt as if it was alive. There were chants reverberating the palace, as if there were Fuxi chanting about the abstrusities in the Dao, as if there were livings worshipping the word.

Then, the 'Yi' word suddenly flashed into Zhong Yue's forehead and disappeared.

The palace regained its usual atmosphere.

"I had the spirit of Fuxi when I was alive, but you don't have any.", Haoyi Fuxi said, "This is all I can do for you, young child. You want to turn your soul into the True Spirit, this is a path unprecedented. Measure your capabilities when trudging down on this path that leads you to an unknown end."

A flash of bright ray flew out from the Fuxi Heavenly Monarch's corpse and reentered the Void World. While the Heavenly Monarch's mortal body sank into the coffin and the coffin returned back to its place deep within the imperial tomb.

Golden rays faded like the ebbing tide, it disappeared.

"That's it?", Xin Huo was in disbelief, he was huffing unwillingly as he said, "Monarch Haoyi, how stingy! There is only one and a half Fuxi left in this world and Brat Yue is the half, if you don't teach him a little more, at least give him something, any treasures in this imperial tomb. If not, give him the little girl Haoyi Zither!"

"How dare you call the Earthly Sovereign stingy, he has even burnt his spirit essence just to see your half Fuxi!", the little girl on the Haoyi Zither was unpleased, she flared her eyes at Xin Huo, "Furthermore, why should I be given to him? Little flame, bad flame, you and I have so many unclear hatreds I have yet to hold you accountable for, such as the countless times you have robbed my power from me without even asking! The imperial tomb does not welcome you, you may leave now!"

Xin Huo laughed, "Monarch Haoyi is so stingy, are you as stingy as well? Little Sister Zither, you must have many treasures inside your imperial tomb, there is no use for you to keep them in the corner collecting dusts, why don't you give me one or two of them? Even if you don't want to give it to Brat Yue, you can give it to me."

The little girl smirked frigidly and the zither sound rammed through the space barrier. Zhong Yue and Xin Huo was pushed into the space rift created behind them and were sent out from the imperial tomb.

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Yue was already back in Yu Wenju's Yuan Shen secret realm, he was still standing in front of the scale mirror. If it wasn't that he knew it was all real, he might have mistaken it all as a dream.

"Brat Yue, you should have really chosen the Fuxi spirit.", Xin Huo sighed and lamented. He rolled his eyes and said in a nefarious smirk right after, "We have just seen Monarch Haoyi, he gave you too little help. Why don't we proceed to the other Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs? Other than Haoyi Monarch, there is still the first Fuxi Heavenly Monarch, Monarch Yiyi, then Monarch Shiyi, Monarch Taihao … Someone among them must be generous enough!"

Zhong Yue shook his head and smiled in spite of himself, he told Xin Huo, "There is no need for that Xin Huo. Haoyi Fuxi has already explained and cleared my doubts. There is no need to disturb the long peace my ancestors have embraced."

"He cleared your doubts? When did that happen?", Xin Huo asked puzzlingly, "The answer is that 'Yi' word? Give me some time and I can write a few thousand 'Yi' words for you."

Zhong Yue shook his head and ignored the noisy little flame. He looked into his psyche ocean and saw the golden shining 'Yi' word hovering in mid-air, like a sun like a moon, like a … Fuxi.

Monarch Haoyi did not wrote a 'Yi' word, he wrote a Fuxi.

There were uncountable abstrusities hidden in this Fuxi, waiting for him to explore them on his own. While the chants of the Fuxi has helped him even more, greatly inspiring him to think deeper and wider.
