Chapter 799: Chapter 022 Emperor Blood Bloodline


Fang Wuxi’s heart sank slightly as he continued, "Master, you must have noticed the fairy beside me. She is Fairy Feng Yunxi, a descendant of Emperor Fu Xi of the Huaxia people and belongs to the Fu Xi Clan with the Ancient Emperor Bloodline. The zither in her hands is the Phoenix Zither, capable of summoning nature, releasing the soul, and opening the gates of Heavenly Pivot Ancient Town. Fairy Yunxi has come here in hopes of repairing the Phoenix Zither, but she learned of this too late. When she came to me, I arrogantly botched a good deed."


"This time, we hope Master Zhou can help repair the Phoenix Zither. With it, many Cultivators will have the opportunity to open the gates of Heavenly Pivot Ancient Town."


"Of course, I also know that Master Zhou has spent the past eight days repairing ancient weapons and has suffered greatly in his Primordial Energy. You surely desire some peace to rest before preparing your teachings. However... the spirits in the ancient zither might not last much longer..."


Fang Wuxi spoke earnestly.


As he spoke, his gaze intensely fixed on Zhou Yan, hoping for a reaction.


But seeing Zhou Yan’s gaze and expression still indifferent, Fang Wuxi gave a wry smile and said, "I know this forces Master Zhou to break his promise and puts even more burden on you. However, I have heard that you wish to collect fragments of the Xuanyuan Divine Sword. I know of a place that definitely has such items, but it is a small world accessible only once in a lifetime by the Sect Master of our Sword Sect."


"I want to offer this opportunity as a gesture of sincerity to make amends."


Fang Wuxi’s words were very cautious, perhaps due to Zhou Yan’s startling strength witnessed by many Cultivators previously, or perhaps because Fang Wuxi had realized Zhou Yan’s great abilities and influence. In any case, he demonstrated great sincerity.


Zhou Yan looked deeply at Fang Wuxi, and only when a slight sweat appeared on his forehead did Zhou Yan nod indifferently, saying, "Alright, I agree."


"Thank you, thank you, Master Zhou,"


Fang Wuxi, devoid of any Sect Master’s dignity, was extremely excited.


He said, and his gaze towards the light-yellow-robed woman beside him grew even more eager, as if to say: See, it has been successful already.


Beside him, Feng Yunxi remained indifferent, speaking quietly only when faced with Fang Wuxi’s overly enthusiastic gaze, "The Phoenix Zither is the zither of Emperor Fu Xi. If it’s only restored superficially, it hardly matters; at best, it’s merely a tougher weapon. I have seen the weapons Zhou Yan has restored for others, only restoring the body, with little change in divinity. It’s still uncertain whether he can revitalize it completely, you are celebrating too early."


"No, I believe Master Zhou will definitely succeed. Regardless of success or failure, I’ve decided to offer the right to enter the Ancestor Land of the Sword Sect—Shu Mountain Ancient Land."


"My own strength proves futile inside, gaining no inheritance; but if Zhou enters, given his character, he will not harm Shu Mountain.


"As for the past disputes between Tao Sect and Sword Sect, it was only to better the development of Shu Mountain, and it’s merely a difference in cultivation philosophy between me and Hua Qiudao."


Fang Wuxi said earnestly.


Feng Yunxi, upon hearing this, merely swept a glance at Zhou Yan and said nothing more.


"Restoring Divinity isn’t impossible, but it’s akin to merely watering a dried-up tree. After all, the spirits within the Ancient Divine Weapons have their own will and growth, independent consciousness, and the restoration of divinity requires an exceptional supply of Soul Power, providing Soul Energy. With my capabilities, achieving a partial restoration is indeed possible."


Zhou Yan glanced at the woman again, his Eye of Destruction opening automatically, the Six-Eared Macaque’s eyes emitting endless golden light, instantly seeing through her—a remarkable woman with Ancestor Blood.


She exhibited an Ancestor Return, a snake-bodied person, nearly identical to Fu Xi or Nuwa in appearance.


However, her current human form was merely a Transforming state.


She appeared indifferent, perhaps because her bloodline had awakened, yet suppressed by the Heavenly Pivot Ancient Town, unable to escape this predicament.


She seemed to sense Zhou Yan’s Eye of Destruction, as suddenly, an Eight Diagrams-shaped mark flashed on her forehead and emitted a beam of light that immobilized Zhou Yan’s Eye of Destruction, preventing the connection from continuing.


However, after this scene, the woman’s expression was no longer indifferent, but became exceedingly solemn.


She looked deeply at Zhou Yan and said, "You indeed possess the true inheritance of Lee Ran, so you have qualified to enter the Ancient Immortal Land. If you can restore one-tenth of the divinity of the Fu Xi Zither, I will gift you the original Eight Diagrams studied by our ancestors. If you can restore two-tenths, I will give you a true Ancient Divine Beast for transportation——one of the mounts of Emperor Fu Xi, the Dragon Horse. If you can restore three-tenths, I will share a great secret about Lee Ran with you."


"Three gifts, cumulative."


The woman’s expression was stern.


Beside her, Fang Wuxi was slightly startled and curiously said, "The Thirty-Three Heavens’ Heavenly Road is broken, Immortal Demons are annihilated, ancient lands transformed into ruins. Those other ancient lands, didn’t you tell me they completely disappeared?"


"Ancient lands have disappeared, but Immortal Lands are different."


The woman explained.


"Three-tenths of divinity, right?"


Zhou Yan was moved, seeing through the woman’s bloodline as if watching a massive phantom in a bizarre space-time.


Xuan Turtle, Dragon Horse, Eight Diagrams, along with the Fu Xi Zither, seemed to shatter in an instant in a certain space.


Among them, the Fu Xi Emperor united the Immortal Lands, established his capital there, and offered sacrifices on Mount Tai. Subsequently, Fu Xi took parts from an Ancient Divine Beast—a python’s body, a crocodile’s head, stag’s antlers, tiger’s eyes, carp’s scales, giant lizard’s legs, hawk’s claws, shark’s tail, and essence of a bearded whale’s whiskers—to create the ancient Huaxia totem, and from the essence of divinity within, he derived the unparalleled and perfect Immortal Evil Soul Inheritance—the Dragon Vein Inheritance!


Later, Fu Xi transformed into the Green Emperor, yet at a certain moment his body collapsed, presenting an unimaginable scenario.


This scene, like a rapidly flashing anomaly, passed over the space above Zhou Yan’s Soul Sea and then suddenly vanished.


Everything seemed like a dream.


However, Zhou Yan suddenly realized that Huaxia people innately possess the Three Souls and Seven Spirits, and have unparalleled talents, precisely because they are descendants of the dragon!


The saying that they are the "Dragons among men" arises from this.


Originally, Zhou Yan had been moved and was prepared to do whatever it took to restore the Fu Xi Zither to three-tenths of its divinity.


Now, witnessing this scene, not only did he continue with that intent, but he was also considering taking Feng Yunxi as his disciple—Feng Yunxi’s bloodline talent was truly that of Ancestor Return, reaching a level of more than fifty percent similarity to the original, untransformed Emperor’s Blood.


That meant if nurtured properly, this woman’s achievements could be comparable to Nuwa’s in the future!


No one could understand this woman’s cultivation method and training better than Zhou Yan!
