CHAPTER 391: CHAPTER 79 THE STORM IS APPROACHING

Staring blankly at the sky of the Western Extreme, Emperor Fuxi felt his mind go blank, with only one thought rising: "It’s over, a catastrophe, a disaster!"

The puzzling star hanging in the West Border, originally dim and lightless, now suddenly erupted with such ferocious power that it made several gigantic stars nearby instantly fall. What an unbelievable force!

"No, we can’t let this go on!" Emperor Fuxi made a firm decision in his heart and lightly patted his forehead. A golden Qingyun cloud, several dozen zhang across, suddenly rose into the sky.

On the Qingyun cloud, the River Map, Luo Book, and Fu Xi’s Zither, three Spiritual Treasures, flickered, sinking and floating, exuding an ancient charm.

"Rise!" Emperor Fuxi beckoned with one hand, grabbing the River Map and Luo Book from the Qingyun cloud, tossing them into the void, and started to constantly deduce.

Under Emperor Fuxi’s urging, the Yin Yang Fish inscribed in the side hall started to spin wildly. Stars in the sky, through the open ceiling of the hall, scattered their silver glow like a canopy, completely covering Emperor Fuxi’s figure, eventually leaving only a black phantom barely visible within the silver brightness.

It was unknown how much time had passed when the Eight Diagrams Heavenly Plate finally stopped spinning, and the sun had already climbed up the sky.

Emperor Fuxi stood up from the Eight Diagrams Heavenly Plate, his face pale, showing endless worry.

Emperor Fuxi grieved in his heart: "In fifteen years, demons will appear in the land of the Western Extreme, and if it can’t be contained, my Huaxia Clan will face annihilation! What can be done?"

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi!" Just then, within this ancient palace, an emaciated figure suddenly appeared.

Seeing the visitor, Emperor Fuxi was startled. Immediately, he stood up with a pallid face and saluted: "Emperor Fuxi of the Human Clan, greets Holy Father, peace unto you!"

This emaciated figure was none other than Li Qingming.

"Why must Fellow Daoist be so formal?" Li Qingming appeared helpless, sidestepping and reaching out to support Emperor Fuxi, but he grasped at nothing.

Emperor Fuxi bowed his head and said, "Previously I was Emperor Xi of the Demon Race, now I am Emperor Fuxi of the Human Clan, Emperor Fuxi! Holy Father created our Human Clan and has protected us for many years; I am naturally worthy of this respect!"

Li Qingming let out a helpless wry smile and said, "If Fellow Daoist insists, then there is no way for me to refuse."

Emperor Fuxi persisted with another bow before standing up again and asked, "May I know why the Holy Father has come?"

"For the matter of West Niu Hezhou!" Li Qingming did not beat around the bush, getting straight to the point.

"Only fifteen years left, after fifteen years my Human Clan will face another catastrophe. Holy Father, do you have a solution?" Emperor Fuxi looked expectantly at Li Qingming, his intention clear without words.

Li Qingming said, "The overwhelming demonic power earlier came from Demon Lord Luo Hou descending into the world with a Primordial Spirit Avatar. He has already successfully convinced Li Qianqiu to break the Chaos Crystal Wall of West Niu Hezhou, allowing myriads of Demon Race to settle in the Huaxia Land!"

"What!" Emperor Fuxi stood up in shock and said, "Why would Li Qianqiu do something so insane? Isn’t this like inviting wolves into the house?"

"Hmph, Li Qianqiu has resented the Human Clan and Huaxia Heaven and Earth since he was young! He would rather exterminate the Human Clan and destroy Huaxia Heaven and Earth, so what is this about inviting wolves into the house?" Li Qingming let out a cold laugh, seeming quite displeased with the people from that village back then.

"This..." Emperor Fuxi was taken aback, surprised by Li Qingming’s strong reaction.

"Cough!" As if realizing his own overreaction, Li Qingming coughed lightly and said, "On the east side of the West Niu Hezhou Yin Yang Realm, there is a Yin Yang Spring Eye transformed from Pangu’s ankle. The Chaos Crystal Wall there is extremely weak, and I believe that Li Qianqiu will use this as a breakthrough point to open the Demon Gate wide for the Outer Heaven Demons!"

"Alas, Holy Father doesn’t know. This Yin Yang Realm is extremely mysterious, and with the current state of our Human Clan’s Cultivators, there is simply no way to start, not to mention delving into the Yin Yang Realm!" Emperor Fuxi sighed, his words filled with helplessness.

"Well, I have a secret technique here for concealed traversal. Once mastered to the highest level, I believe even if you create havoc right under the eyes of a sub-saint, he won’t be able to catch you!" Li Qingming chuckled, pulling out an incredibly pure white jade from his storage space.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Fuxi grabbed the jade and probed it with his Primordial Spirit. Numerous complex Tao Runes turned into a golden dragon that swiftly burrowed into Emperor Fuxi’s mind.

After a while, Emperor Fuxi exclaimed in admiration, "This technique is truly exquisite, surely the pinnacle of concealed Immortal Laws!"

Li Qingming took out a Communication Jade Token from his chest, tossing it to Emperor Fuxi and said, "Fellow Daoist, this Communication Jade Token is directly connected to Nuwa Palace. This demon expulsion will still require Lady Nuwa’s involvement!"

Emperor Fuxi caught the Communication Jade Token and asked, "Holy Father, what do you mean by this?"

"The Five-Colored Divine Stone is the purest, most holy object between heaven and earth. If it can be obtained, slaying the Heavenly Demons will no doubt be within our grasp! My words end here; I must take my leave now!" Li Qingming stood up, his figure becoming an illusion and directly merging into space.

"Five-Colored Divine Stone?" Emperor Fuxi, holding the Communication Jade Token, suddenly remembered that after Di Jun dragged the Great Sun to break Mount Buzhou, Nuwa used remnants of the primordial Five-Colored Divine Stone, integrating it with various Innate Items to purify and repair the sky. Although the Five-Colored Divine Stone had been melted down, Nuwa must surely have some remnants remaining.

Thinking of this, Fu Xi did not mind Li Qingming’s departure, but instead used his Taiqing True Essence to activate the Communication Jade Token, directly speaking to Nuwa: "Human Clan’s Shared Ruler Fu Xi, respectfully inquiring about Lady Nuwa’s well-being!"

In the Nuwa Palace of the Chaos Outer Heaven, while Nuwa was still heartbroken over the wedding matter of Li Qingming, she suddenly noticed the Communication Jade Token in her storage space starting to flicker non-stop.

Nuwa, puzzled in her heart, took out the Jade and saw the constant silver light was from her elder brother Fu Xi.

Overjoyed, Nuwa immediately transmitted back: "Why does my brother seek to contact this little sister? Could it be that brother has encountered some difficulty?"

Fu Xi was silent for a while, then said: "Fu Xi dare not claim the title of your brother, Your Highness, please do not call me so!"

A tear fell from the corner of Nuwa’s eyes as she sobbed and said: "Is elder brother truly so heartless?"

Hearing the sobbing voice, Fu Xi’s heart ached, but he forcefully endured it: "I once said, in this life I belong to the Human Clan, hence there is only Emperor Fuxi, no more Demon Saint Fu Xi!"

Nuwa’s tear became a trickle of fine rain, flowing backwards instantaneously, leaving her unable to speak through her tears.

Fu Xi, unable to hear the voice transmission, understood Nuwa’s sorrow and once again transmitted: "Your Highness, do not be sad, all you need to remember is that Fu Xi is still alive in the world!"

After all, Nuwa was a Saint, more perceptive than anyone else, so she only felt a slight sadness before suppressing the melancholy heavy on her heart, and said: "Fu Xi, what brings you to contact me this time?"

"My Lady, Fu Xi disturbs you with this transmission because I wish to borrow the Five-Colored Divine Stone! Now our Human Clan faces a crisis of life and death, and nothing but the Five-Colored Divine Stone can break this perilous situation!" Fu Xi transmitted urgently.

Nuwa frowned and said: "The Five-Colored Divine Stones I collected in the Chaos to mend the sky by the order of the Tao Ancestor have indeed almost been exhausted. However, when mending the sky, there happened to be one piece that I forgot on the Huaxia Divine Land after the fusion. If you can find this stone, it should be able to break the Human Clan’s crisis!"

"Such a holy item, its location cannot simply be deduced. This, this is like looking for a needle in the ocean!" The hope that had just risen in his heart was completely interrupted, Fu Xi suddenly felt that life was filled with one tragedy after another, inevitable and yet reluctantly accepted.

"I remember that the Five-Colored Divine Stone seems to have been discarded in the Dongsheng Divine Continent. You may want to look there; perhaps there will be an unexpected discovery!" Nuwa transmitted uncertainly.

"In that case, Fu Xi thanks Your Highness!" Fu Xi respectfully responded and quickly closed the Communication Jade Token.

In the Nuwa Palace, Nuwa stared blankly at the Communication Jade Token, which returned to its ordinary stone appearance, her beautiful face full of sorrow.

In the council hall of Chen Capital of the Human Clan, Fu Xi sat high above in the main seat, and Lin Chen, Luo He, Red Silk, Yun Hu along with several other prominent figures of the Human Clan stood respectfully on both sides of the hall.

Bursts of chilly autumn wind blew in through an open side hall, whistling into the main hall, bringing with it a sense of solemnity in the otherwise dead silent chamber.

"Not knowing why Master (Your Majesty) has summoned us here," said Lin Chen, the eldest disciple, standing at the front, his voice couldn’t be more appropriate.

Fu Xi waved his hand and said: "We have fifteen more years to prepare. In fifteen years, the Outer Heaven Demons will invade the Huaxia Land en masse. If we don’t act in advance, the disaster of our clan’s extinction is imminent!"

"Is what Master (Your Majesty) says true?" Upon hearing this, everyone was utterly shocked.

"Not a word of falsehood!" Fu Xi’s expression was indifferent, without any fluctuation of emotion.

"What should we do?" Yun Hu stepped forward two paces and asked respectfully.

"Lady Nuwa once mended the sky with Divine Stones, leaving behind a Five-Colored Divine Stone in Dongsheng Divine Continent. This Five-Colored Divine Stone is the purest, most holy object between Heaven and Earth, and the only holy object that can restrain the Heavenly Demons. I now need you to hurry to Dongsheng Divine Continent, even if it means digging three feet deep, you must find the Five-Colored Divine Stone for me!" Fu Xi’s tone became heavier and heavier, and towards the end, he even roared out loud.

At this moment, everyone realized the severity of the situation, shivering collectively, they said: "For the Human Clan, we will definitely find the Five-Colored Divine Stone!"

Dongsheng Divine Continent, after that great disaster, through the secret efforts of Taiching Saint and Lady Nuwa, had already recovered to its picturesque state of many years ago.

At the edge of Dongsheng Divine Continent was a small tribe named Aolai.

Near this tribe by the sea stood a mountain where countless Red Cliffs and strange rocks adorned, while unceasingly fascinating cliffs and peaks captivated onlookers. On those Red Cliffs, jewel-like birds sang in pairs; in front of the cliffs, Spiritual Beasts frolicked. At the peaks, one could hear the light chirping of birds, and the odd mountains had crevices spurting out Infinite Primordial Qi.

In the winding forest of the mountain, there were Immortal Deer and Spiritual Foxes, and in the trees, Spiritual Birds and Little Beasts. The Immortal Herbs and Strange Flowers on the ground were perennially in bloom, while the towering pines and verdant cypresses, like pillars holding up the sky, stood erect in the valleys and mountain summits.

Moreover, diverse Immortal Fruits and Spiritual Ginseng could be seen everywhere in these mountains.

This place was the origin of Spiritual Energy for thousands of miles around, a fairyland on the Huaxia Divine Land hard to find elsewhere.

Because there were plenty of fruits on the mountain, and they were delicious and sweet, the tribesmen called this mountain "Huaguo Mountain"! (To be continued.
