CHAPTER 949: CHAPTER 968: XUANHUANG STONE AND THE HUMAN CLAN’S FATE

Pangu opened the sky, Hong Jun transmitted the Dao, all spirits coexist, and the Heavenly Dao operates.

From the day all beings were born, there was the notion of fortune, but this fortune is so elusive that even a Saint cannot grasp it.

However, there are no absolutes in the world. From the day the Human Clan came into being, this Fire Cloud Cave also emerged in response, and the fortune of the Human Clan was nurtured within the Fire Cloud Cave.

The Human Clan could become the protagonists in the Heaven and Earth due to the great role of human fortune, and the Three Emperors of the Human Clan inhabited the Fire Cloud Cave for the eternal prosperity of the Human Clan, which is undoubtedly a selfless dedication.

Of course, although the Three Emperors of the Human Clan seemed to have lost their freedom by eternally guarding the Fire Cloud Cave, under the blessing of the Power of Human Dao, they each attained an alternative enlightenment comparable to the Heavenly Dao Saints.

The Fire Cloud Cave is merely a general term, and inside it forms a separate small world where the fortune of the Human Clan is suppressed.

Inside the Fire Cloud Cave.

The Three Emperors of the Human Clan looked solemn, the Power of Human Dao was ancient and simple, and a vast, heavy aura surged from the end of the Fire Cloud Cave.

"The millennium term has arrived, and the fortune of the Human Clan is once again gushing out. We should act," the Human Emperor Xuanyuan solemnly said.

"With the three of us suppressing the fortune of the Human Clan, the Human Clan shall eternally prosper," Shennong smiled slightly and said.

"Little sister, wait here. We will return in seven days," Fu Xi looked back at Nuwa and said.

"Brothers, can I accompany you?"

Nuwa gracefully bowed to the Three Emperors of the Human Clan. After three hundred years, Nuwa appeared serene and harmonious, without the resentment of the past, pleading with the Three Emperors of the Human Clan.

"No!"

Fu Xi decisively refused: "The fortune of the Human Clan is of great importance, and it nurtures the Power of Human Dao. Although there is no danger in suppressing it every millennium, that applies only to us. You have lost your Saint Position, and if harmed by the Power of Human Dao, wouldn’t it be troublesome?"

"Brother, since I reside in the Fire Cloud Cave eternally, I should also contribute to the Human Clan. I will protect myself and never trouble my three brothers," Nuwa earnestly pleaded.

"Brother Fu Xi, why not bring Nuwa along? With the three of us, the Power of Human Dao cannot harm her," Shennong smiled and said.

"Indeed, although Nuwa lost her Saint Position, her Heavenly Mending Merit remains. If she can gain the Power of Human Dao’s recognition, she can achieve an alternative enlightenment like us, which would be a great boon for our Human Clan," Human Emperor Xuanyuan suggested.

"This...?" Fu Xi frowned, hesitating.

"Brother!"

Nuwa bit her lips softly, her eyes pleading as she looked at Fu Xi, which made Fu Xi smile wryly, "Fine, you shall accompany us, but without my orders, you must not act on your own."

"Thank you, Brother. Thank you, brothers,"

Nuwa was overjoyed, bowing to the Three Emperors of the Human Clan, but they didn’t notice a trace of gloom that flashed in her eyes.

"It’s about time, let’s go,"

The four of them strode towards the interior of the Fire Cloud Cave while Nuwa cautiously followed behind.

An hour later.

The four finally arrived at the end of the Fire Cloud Cave, where an ancient stone door appeared before them.

This stone door was ancient and heavy, with ivories of characters carved upon it and mysterious runes interwoven and spinning on its surface. The most striking was a stone emitting a dim yellow light atop the door, which seemed to draw one’s soul into it with just a glance.

"The divine stone above is called the Xuanhuang Stone, with the fortune of the Human Clan suppressed behind this stone door. Thanks to the Xuanhuang Stone, the small world behind the stone door remains sealed," Fu Xi spoke softly.

"Xuanhuang Stone? Is there really such a strange object in Heaven and Earth?" Nuwa murmured in shock, her eyes full of astonishment looking at the stone door.

Nuwa’s amazement was justified, for the Xuanhuang Stone was a treasure of the world, esteemed alongside the Five-Colored Divine Stone. Legend has it that the Xuanhuang Stone is a Chaos object, and if one could forge it into a weapon, it would become a Chaos Divine Weapon with an indestructible, formidable power.

Yet, legends were only legends. Since the creation of Heaven and Earth, the Xuanhuang Stone was only heard of by name but never seen. Today, however, Nuwa saw the Xuanhuang Stone atop the stone door, a fiery glint flickering in her eyes.

If the Xuanhuang Stone could be forged into a Chaos Divine Weapon, it could surely destroy Ye Xuan’s unparalleled body!

Nuwa’s heart was roaring with excitement, yet her expression remained calm, revealing no desire.

"Open!"

The Three Emperors of the Human Clan formed seals with their hands, and as they performed inexplicable Seal Techniques, the ancient stone door rumbled and trembled. The Xuanhuang Stone atop it shone brilliantly, and the tightly closed stone door began to slowly open.

Woo!

As the door opened, a terrifying windstorm surged out from within, causing Nuwa’s figure to tremble, almost blowing her away.

"Steady."

Fu Xi formed seals with his hands, emitting the Power of Human Dao to stabilize Nuwa. Meanwhile, Shennong and Xuanyuan also displayed the Power of Human Dao, preventing the fearsome gust from blowing outward.

"Little sister, this is the violent wind formed by the fortune of the Human Clan. Stay closely behind me and never stray from us."

The Three Emperors of the Human Clan entered the stone door first, with Nuwa quickly following behind them. As the four entered the door, the Xuanhuang Stone shone intensely again, and the opened stone door rumbled to a close.

Woo woo woo!

The winds howled, deafening, within this miniature world. There were no sun, moon, or stars, no picturesque mountains or rivers, only threads of the Power of Human Dao crisscrossing through this world.

Buzz!

The space cracked open a rift, and with four sparks flashing, the Three Emperors of the Human Clan and Nuwa appeared in this small world.

"The fortune of the Human Clan is in turbulence; let’s hurry to the Mother Qi Pool," Fu Xi shouted against the gale, and the four transformed into a stream of light heading towards the central area.

Rumble!

Like the sky collapsing, like the earth cracking, the entire Heaven and Earth vibrated violently as the four reached the central part of the land, where a Spirit Pond hundreds of feet in size was churning with terrifying waves, golden waves filling the sky, teeming with an extreme violent aura.

Crash! Crash! Crash!

Like tides and waves, like the vast sea, the mere hundred-foot golden Spirit Pond gathered an intimidating force, filled with an aura that frightened one to their very core.

The Red Dust rolls, with seven emotions and six desires. This hundred-foot Spirit Pond seemed to contain all the emotions of the Human Clan, and if one’s will wasn’t strong residing here, they might fall into madness.

"Is this... the fortune of the Human Clan?"

Nuwa stared at the Spirit Pond ahead, her voice filled with amazement, almost unable to believe her own eyes.

In Nuwa’s understanding, the fortune of the Human Clan should be vast and grand, full of immense power, giving an impression of inviolability.
