If His Majesty knew that this Yi Feng is a Fuxi, he will be greatly enraged and he would pay any cost to kill him!

Upon thinking of this, Feng Wuji heard the black-robed man saying, “I knew this already.”

Feng Wuji who thought that he had control over Zhong Yue’s life felt as if his strong punch landed onto cotton. He was extremely agitated and uneasy after hearing this and he immediately said, “Your Majesty! Yi Feng is a Fuxi! This is a very serious problem and…”

“I know.”

The black-robed man said calmly, “This is the deed of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian. Did he think he can hide it from me? Mu Xiantian created the Xian Tian Royal Guard and this Yi Feng is their commander. He is not just a Fuxi but a Fuxi with 8,000 Fuxi under his command, each of whom has successfully unlocked half of their bloodline.”

Feng Wuji was stunned and he shouted, “8,000 Fuxi?”

The black-robed man said, “Yes. Imperial Emperor Xian Tian wants to sit on the throne and he is willing to break the rules for that. He removed the seals in these 8,000 Fuxi and he thought he can keep in a secret. The spies I placed beside Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and Yan Sovereign have already told me about this long ago. This Yi Feng had his bloodline unsealed along with the other Fuxi and as the leader of the Xian Tian Royal Guard, it’s no surprise that he is a Fuxi.

Feng Wuji immediately explained, “Your majesty, he removed the seals on his own…”

The black-robed man said, “Nonsense. There is no one in this world that managed to survive after removing the seals by himself. There has been no one from 100,000 years ago and there will be no one in the future…”

“But I saw it with my own eyes…”

“You dare question my judgment?”

Feng Wuji’s heart thumped and he immediately apologized.

The black-robed man added, “Given his unique position and identity, it is natural that he is able to remove the seals in Fuxi bloodline, however, this is where he lost the upper hand as I can turn this into a weapon against him. In the future, if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian wins against the Heavenly Monarch, all I have to do is use this and stop him from sitting on that throne and plunge him into the abyss!”

After a happy laugh, the black-robed man’s tone became eerie as he said, “Now, I believe you know what you should do about this Mister Yi’s identity? In the future, he will become my weapon that strikes down Mu Xiantian. If his cover is blown anytime before that…”

Feng Wuji felt his chest tightened but he still lowered his head and said, “Worry not, Your Majesty. I will not expose him…”

“Wuji, it seems like there is a conflict between you two.”

The black-robed man said, “I am worried that this conflict of yours will affect your judgment so you don’t have to catch him by yourself anymore. I am assigning the celestial emperor from the Kua Fu Celestial Race to handle this mission now. You will assist them.”

Disappointment struck Feng Wuji; previously, he was the person in charge of this mission but now, he had been relegated to an ancillary role.

“If his identity is blown and known to the world, wouldn’t it affect Your Majesty’s plan?” asked Feng Wuji as his eyes turned around.

The black-robed man said calmly, “There are still other Fuxi in the Zi Wei Imperial Star so there is an excuse for him even if his identity is blown.”

As the black-robed man spoke, the smoke turned into two doors and two muscular Deity Emperors walked out. Those two were a male and a female god but the female was much more muscular than the male counterpart.

They were the celestial emperors of the Kua Fu Celestial Race.

“Kua Fujin, Kua Fumou, capture that Yi Feng for me and Wuji will assist you!”

The black-robed man’s voice was heard from afar before a talisman descended from the skies and landed into the two celestial emperors’ hands. The black-robed man said, “Take this talisman and seek help from a Fuxi in the State of Heavenly River. He will be a great help.”

“There are still other Fuxi in this world?”

Feng Wuji shuddered and shouted, “But my teacher, Tu Yu said that the Fuxi are all dead. How is this possible?”

But his question was left unanswered as the smoke dispersed and the black-robed man vanished.

Kua Fujin then smiled and said, “Mister Wuji, we would appreciate your assistance in capturing Yi Feng.”

“You’re welcome.”

Feng Wuji replied as he frowned and thought, Back in Ancestral Star, Zhong Yue has already unlocked a portion of his Fuxi bloodline and now, he became a great problem in the Zi Wei Imperial Star, yet that man thinks highly of himself and thinks that it was Imperial Emperor Xian Tian that changed Zhong Yue’s bloodline. Whatever. This matters not as I will still acquire my credits after capturing Zhong Yue! But I managed to track him down through his scent and I fear that he has changed his scent now, making it difficult to track him down again…

The only reason he managed to find Zhong Yue was through Zhong Yue’s scent.

Though Zhong Yue had changed everything inside himself as he evolved into the innate divine body, his Fuxi bloodline remained the same, hence, his blood still carried the same scent.

Now, Zhong Yue definitely altered his blood to escape Feng Wuji’s tracking.

If he asked me to seek a Fuxi for help, I will have even little more to worry and perhaps, I might even gain that Fuxi’s favor and aid me in my career.

Feng Wuji brought Kua Fujin and Kua Fumou along towards Consort Tiansi and he said politely, “Consort, you are one with great knowledge, Do you know where the State of Heavenly River is?”

“State of Heavenly River?”

Consort Tiansi’s expression changed and she quickly said, “Of course. That is a forbidden land, the forbidden land in Imperial Star! A land where ordinary Deity Emperors and Creators cannot enter.”

Feng Wuji smiled and said, “We can however. Please take us there.”

On the other hand, Zhong Yue felt his head was about to burst apart as the pain from cutting his soul into different pieces still hung over him, preventing him from properly concentrating. He thought, It seems like I still need some time to get used to this side effect .

He continued roaming around and unknowingly traveled deep into the Zi Wei Imperial Star. When he looked around, he saw a massive and luxurious castle floating in the air.

The gates swallowed and spat out stars like rivers; countless stars were flowing out from the gates like river and sand.

“This… this is the Zi Wei Imperial Star’s Heaven Court!” murmured Zhong Yue as he looked at this castle.

Behind these gates was the real Heavenly Court. Countless soldiers were stationed under the gates and there was no end to them. These soldiers were all powerful and when looked at from afar, Zhong Yue felt that the defense of these gates and around was beyond expectation and they were all unbreakable.

That starry river was the real Heavenly River. A river was grand and massive where the stars became the water in the river and the sand underneath the river as they flowed away.

When Zhong Yue looked at it, he noticed that after the river flowed through a few turns, it passed through one after another gigantic continental that appeared to be islands on these rivers and they were sacred grounds and mountains all over these continentals.

And these continentals were half hidden within the void and they were all extremely ancient.

The State of Heavenly River.

Suddenly, intense pain washed over Zhong Yue, causing him to groan as one after another Zhong Yue walked out from his body. Each of them was holding onto their heads as they also groaned in pain; Zhong Yue had divided his pain in him into his other incarnations him to alleviate the burden on himself.

However, after he created even more incarnations by splitting his soul, he felt even more painful and quickly had his totem patterns rush out and help him to suppress the pain while the other incarnations did the same.

At the same time, a luxurious ship sailed close from afar and a flute melody was heard. The melody was a miraculous one as it actually helped him suppress the pain by a little and after some time, his pain vanished completely.

Zhong Yue stood up straight and kept the incarnations back into his body and he thanked, “Your help is much appreciated. Thank you.”

The ship stopped and the flute melody stopped playing but the melody was still appearing his Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean, turning into one after another totem patterns that circled around Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen and the pain was no longer felt.

Then, a gentle voice was heard, “I saw the pain you were enduring just now so I decided to help. I apologize in interring with your personal matter if I might have offended you in any way.”

Zhong Yue looked towards the ship, only to notice that there were endless gods standing all over the ship while a gorgeous goddess stood among them, holding a jade flute in her pretty hands.

These gods were much likely her guards but even so, they were all extremely powerful and there were even a few demon emperors.

Zhong Yue smiled right away and replied, “No offense taken. It’s just my inner demon that caused me great pain had emerged again.”

The goddess looked at Zhong Yue curiously and she said, “Brother, your technique and arts are very unique that even Fanxuan had never seen nor heard before. May I have the pleasure of inviting you onboard so that I can learn more about you?”

A demon emperor behind her immediately advised, “My lady, this is a human. How can you call him brother?”

“Everyone is worthy of respect if they are strong enough. A human can be very noble and honorable as long as he is powerful. Similarly, a god can be puny if he is weak.”

The goddess hurled the flute upwards and it floated in the air mysteriously, “Even if he is a human, with that kind of strength, he is worthy of becoming a friend. Brother, my melody can relieve your pain, do you want to come aboard and have a little chat?”

After being invited twice, Zhong Yue graciously accepted, “Then please excuse my intrusion.”

After inviting him for a seat, the goddess Fanxuan giggled, “There are barely any human gods as strong as you. May I ask your name?”

“Yi Feng,” Zhong Yue introduced himself after taking a seat.

“Yi Feng?”

The goddess Fanxuan turned the name over in her head for awhile but after nothing came to mind, she said, “Just now, I saw your incarnation technique but I’ve never heard about an incarnation technique that would require the Yuan Shen to be split. I never thought that there would be such novel techniques in this world. It seems like the more you know, the more there is to be known.”

An old demon emperor on the side then explained, “This technique splits the Yuan Shen into different pieces. Something like this can only be accompanied by a great deal of pain. Besides, with the many Yuan Shen pieces infused with each incarnation, it will result in a situation where there will be different thoughts in your mind as these incarnations will have their very independent thoughts, making this technique rather counterproductive. Mister Yi here must have tried to speed up his cultivation through using these incarnations but while this technique brings great benefits, it is not without its considerable dangers. Besides the risk of insanity, he has to constantly be mindful of insurrection from his other incarnations.”

This old demon emperor was quite knowledgeable; with just a glance, he immediately noticed the drawbacks of this technique, to which Zhong Yue nodded and agreed, “True. Normally, when I am not being threatened by any factors, I can seal away my pain but once I remove the seal, the pain is really unbearable.”

The goddess Fanxuan then said, “I’ve been learning music since young and that melody just now is called the [Great Heavenly Demon Heart Suppressive Scripture]. Brother Yi, if you don’t mind, I can help you in your pain with this melody but in turn, I hope that we can become friends.”

Zhong Yue thanked her and asked, “May I know who you are, young lady?”

The old demon emperor said, “Our young lady is from the Yinkang Clan of the 24 monarch races.”

Yin Fanxuan smiled, “The Yinkang Clan takes the surname of Yin and we stay in the State of Heavenly River. It’s a surprise to bump into Brother Yi by the riverbank. I guess our meeting can be attributed to the hands of fate?”

All of a sudden, a huge warship from the Zi Wei Heaven Court’s Southern Heaven Gate sailed out on the Heavenly River. The gods on the warship raised their voice and shouted, “Is the Yinkang Clan trying to get on land? Do you not remember the promise 60,000 years ago?”

The Yinkang Clan gods gave a cold sneer, the old demon emperor sneered frigidly, “Have your eyes become blind all of a sudden? When did we board on the land?”

The navy fleet’s gods sneered back coldly, “The Yinkang Clan can never go on land. This is a rule made by the Heavenly Monarch, disobey it and you shall face the consequences!”

“Damn it! How dare a tiny heavenly general raise his voice at me!” shouted the old demonic god.

Yin Fanxuan said gently, “Uncle, don’t put yourself down onto the level as him. Just let him be. I’m merely trying to have fun by traveling outside here so it’s just natural that they raise their guards.”

Zhong Yu, on the other hand, asked in surprise, “Yinkang Clan is one of the 24 monarch races so why are you guys trapped here?”

The many Yinkang Clan’s members kept quiet upon this question and Yin Fanxuan sighed, “60,000 years ago, our ancestors tried to usurp the throne but failed. In the end, our ancestor was killed and Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan created a curse that was implanted into us by sacrificing our ancestor’s body and power. Now, because of this curse, we are trapped here forever as we are all cursed. We can never leave the river and if we did, our legs would turn into fishtails. The army was stationed here to keep an eye on us.”

The old demon emperor smirked, “All of this happened 60,000 years ago, but after Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s death, the curse should have been lifted by now. But the current Heavenly Monarch was afraid of us and so refused to remove this punishment!”

Yin Fanxuan said, “But what can we do? His family and his strength are too overwhelming. Fortunately for us, we still have our own land in the State of Heavenly River to save ourselves from extinction.”
