Chapter 941: Fuxi’s Tomb (1/2)

“Then I’m going too!” Lu Yun hastily added when he saw that Qing Yu wanted to go with Tushan.

“Hmph! Look at this bias!” Tushan huffed and narrowed her eyes at Lu Yun. He glared back at her and Qing Yu covered her mouth as she chuckled. The others exchanged slightly awkward glances with each other, while loneliness crossed Lin Yan’s face.

“Lin Yan, your empress Yinglong from your previous life should've reincarnated as well.” The Deaf Prince clapped his friend’s shoulder heartily and boomed out with his trademark ringing tones.

An uncontrollable shudder ran through Lin Yan.

……

“It’s most ideal that the three of you are going together. The Bell of Chaos is a peerless connate treasure, but it has marvelous uses that should enable it to repel the creatures from the chaos,” Fuxi said solemnly. A small dot of light flashed through his eyes and his lips vibrated. He couldn’t help but end with a caution for safety. “You must be careful in everything you do. You must still find my severed senses and dispel the curse against great emperors.”

“Don’t worry, Holy Emperor. I'll teach those things a good lesson and return safely.” Lu Yun brimmed with confidence. His primary body had sat in the chaos and safeguarded the Dao Flower for ninety years. He knew many things of the chaos like the back of his hand. There was nothing to be concerned about on his return trip to the chaos.

However, he didn’t reveal any of this because he was certain that the traitor was in the human sacred land and possessed a high status.

……

The Great Formation of the Nineheavens Gates looked to be in perfect operation, but was in fact an empty husk since it’d been broken a long time ago. Something had even sucked out the essence of the blazing sun that Taiyi had transformed into and injected an entirely new filling into it. Thus it kept burning, seemingly the same as before.

If it wasn’t for Yulei’s reminder earlier, the two human dao weapons likely would’ve already fallen into the unknown entity’s hands.

The chaos consisted of hazy gray air currents. There was no sense of space, time, or other beings here.

“The Dao Flower is in the crystal garden at the foot of Mount Xuanhuang.” Tushan looked gravely at Lu Yun and Qing Yu when they reached the chaos.

The couple remained quiet.

“What’s going on with you two?” The little fox summoned the Bell of Chaos and sent it hovering protectively over their heads.

“There’s nothing here and no impending victory of those who live in the chaos. I stood guard here for ninety years and never saw anything other than the realm monsters,” murmured Lu Yun. “And, Fuxi’s dead.”

“What?!” Tushan’s pretty eyes opened wide. “What do you mean, Fuxi’s dead?”

“Fuxi died a long time ago in the chaos. The person who returned with the Heavenfall Spear isn’t him.” A deep grief marked Lu Yun’s tones. “If there’s really any other entity in the chaos, then it’s probably that ‘Fuxi’.”

He hadn’t been certain of things at first, but when he saw the two great formations and the formation of the five elements, three essentials, and yin-yang—that was when he’d become certain that the Fuxi they’d just seen wasn’t the one he’d first met in the great wilderness.
