Chapter 763 - The Favor of Fate (1/2)
Zhong Yue thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it could be the Pure Yang Dragon I cultivated under Bai Canghai's aid?"
He saw through the surprise in Celestial Emperor Fei Yan so he immediately told her that he once gave out a Pure Yang Qi to save Bai Canghai, "This Pure Yang Dragon was on the opposite element with his Pure Yin Serpent God, which might have resulted in me being able to avoid the curse spirit of his."
"Something's not right. It's definitely not like that."
Fei Yan shook her head and said, "The Pure Yang Dragon might be able to restrain the Pure Yin Serpent God but they are both equally strong. It can at most only protect you but just now, when I secretly cursed you, my curse was repelled. Are you trying to say that the much weaker Bai Canghai back in the days actually cultivated a Pure Yang Dragon that could even nullify my curse?"
A cold shivered all the way down his spine right away hearing this and Zhong Yue immediately said, "You cursed me just now?"
The heart of Heavenly King Lu and the others tightened as well and he quickly said, "Yan Fei, this is my king's sworn brother. You must not hurt him…."
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan smiled and replied, "I know, which is why I did not bear any ill intentions. I was just curious after seeing the odd fate tied onto him so I wanted to test it out myself and I assume that I have my answer already."
She took a look at Zhong Yue from head to toe, examined him carefully and said suddenly, "If I'm not wrong, you are probably the sole survivor of your race? A race once filled with glory and honor, a race that once stood at the top of the pyramid but this race has gone extinct by now, leaving only you behind. With that, the fate of the entire race now lies within you and this is why you were not affected by my curse spirit. Correct me if I'm wrong."
Zhong Yue's eyes twitched as he listened to Celestial Emperor Fei Yan narrated the tragedy happened to his race and he said bitterly, "There is one more person apart from me…."
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan let out a relieved breath after her theory was confirmed by Zhong Yue; this lady was indeed a smart one for being able to see things no ordinary could see. She then said, "So that's how it is. It is not a problem in my Curse Spirit but you are shouldering the fate of your entire race, a fate that is so strong that easily dwarfed my Curse Qi."
She was now completely relaxed and the intrigued lady said, "So tell me, which race did you come from? This race is definitely a glorified and outstanding race back in the days to be able to bestow you with such overwhelming fate."
"Are you sure about this?" Zhong Yue shook his head and said, "It might not be too good for you to be so curious about this and you may be dragged into a whirlpool of chaos."
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan might have seemed like a villager that wanted nothing to do with the chaotic world out there but deep down in her, she was not one that would sit out from this exciting world. She laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? We are born for wars. Without wars, we are nothing more than just useless innate spirit bodies. If listening to your story would start a war, then I wouldn't have to live here all alone anymore. Besides, we Curse Innate Spirit Body needed war to achieve even more. There is a limit to how much I can achieve if I continued shutting myself in here."
Her eyes lit up as she spoke. It was clear that this Innate Curse Spirit Body did not wish to be exiled forever and she wanted to see the world for herself and even take part in a war to Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue inhaled deeply and he said, "There were 23 Heavenly Monarchs among my ancestors. They've ruled the Earth Order Era for almost a million years, bred countless talented individuals throughout their reign, developed the Six Paths and unified the Reincarnation. My race is…."
Upon hearing this, Celestial Emperor Fei Yan's expression changed drastically; her face turned pale and she covered her ears right away as she shrieked, "Shut up! Shut up right now! Say no more, do not say that name! I don't want to hear it!"
"My race is the Fuxi Celestial Race!"
But it was too late as Zhong Yue had already said it out loud, "80,000 years ago, the Fuxi Celestial Race faced a crisis that had them wiped out. Since then, they completely vanished from plain sight but this proud race will return one day. Celestial Emperor Fei Yan, if war is what you want to polish your skills and not let them go to waste, then I will give you war."
Zhong Yue remained calm and said softly, "I can give you a war no one has ever seen, I can show you a heaven and earth dyed crimson red with the blood of the endless gods and demons and I can let you shine brightly with the outstanding talent of yours."
His tone was also very calm and peaceful but behind his words, he showed a cruel and gory picture painted with blood and corpses.
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan shivered and after letting out a shriek, she ran away towards the far side and shouted, "I heard nothing!"
Pu tong—-
The lady dived right into a lake and a shout was heard right away; Bai Canghai was in the lake to wash away the dungs and when he saw the lady came charging into the lake, he stood up immediately and covered his chest in panic and surprise.
Zhong Yue on the other hand, laughed happily and shouted, "Celestial Emperor Fei Yan, I thought you just said that you are all born for war? Why did you run then? Is everything you said nothing hot air?"
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan was cleaning her ears in the water as if she could actually erase everything she heard coming from Zhong Yue. Hearing his words, she immediately shouted back angrily and bitterly, "We are indeed born for wars and I am not one who is unwilling to rot silently in a corner. I yearn to experience wars exist only in legends so that I show my talent to the world, shine brightly and achieve much more than I can possibly desire but death is not what I seek! The only reason I'm willing to be exiled and not escape from here was because I do not want to die! After hearing your origins, I will be dead for sure if I am dragged into your chaotic affairs!"
Zhong Yue choked speechless for a second and he smiled and said, "Celestial Emperor Fei Yan, why do you not believe in me?"
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan sneered right away, "I knew things were wrong right after I heard that there were 23 Heavenly Monarch that came from your race. One can only imagine how overwhelmingly strong your enemies are to be able to crush such a huge clan like yours. I regret deeply now for overestimating myself which made me demand you to reveal your race and now I have to face the music. Don't you even dream of having me to aid you in your poisonous and suicidal mission! Death is never what I wanted!"
Being barely moved by her words and understanding just how crazy his mission sounded, Zhong Yue smiled and said, "You are right. People must know their limits and back off if things are out of their capabilities. If that is what you wished, then I will not force it."
Upon acquiring Zhong Yue's promise, Celestial Emperor Fei Yan felt relieved and this was when she noticed Bai Canghai was in the lake taking a bath not far away from her. Her face flushed slightly and she quickly got out from the lake.
After Zhong Yue's revelation, she now looked at Zhong Yue like a dangerous disease and plague, making her reluctant to see him so she shouted, "King Zhong, if you want to succeed, you still need to do one thing."
Zhong Yue knew that she was a Curse Innate Spirit Body, and as a celestial emperor, she must have her own unique ideas and experience far greater than Heavenly King Lu and the others, he said with respect, "Please, teach me."
"Your race has been wiped out, making the fate of your race lies within you now but there are two survivors. One being you and the other being the other one, which is not a good thing. With the fate split into two portions, one with you and one with the other one, you will both achieve something great but in the end, there is still a limit to what you can achieve."
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan said from afar, "Your enemies are definitely more than just overwhelming and their amount is like the stars spread all over the galaxies. How can you possibly win against them if the fate of your race is split into two?"
