Book 6: Chapter 112: Heaven’s Revenge

Everyone immediately felt depressed.

A joke? It was beyond that. Everyone was Old Mister Guan Qi’s pawn. Their purpose was to help him kill the Six Paths Veritable Lord. No, help him become Heaven, making him the immortal.

His scheme used the world as his pawns.

Even with Jiang Lianshan’s extraordinary intelligence, he had still fallen into Old Mister Guan Qi’s trap.

“The Six Paths Veritable Lord is the white Go stones, and we are the black Go stones. Old Mister Guan Qi is indeed a person who watches Go. We fight each other to death, but he can wait at the side to collect the benefits. What a fellow!” Fuxi marveled.

[TL Note: Guan Qi’s name literally translates to watching Go.]

“Since Heaven already died, the Six Paths Veritable Lord can become the immortal?” The Supreme Wa frowned.

Fuxi shook his head. “The Six Paths Veritable Lord tricked Heaven into entering the void. Heaven could not use the power of all life there, stepping into the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s death trap. However, according to my divination, Heaven had made some arrangements to take revenge on the Six Paths Veritable Lord before dying—these include the time laws. Heaven tossed the time laws to Old Mister Guan Qi to make him fight the Six Paths Veritable Lord. Hah…how unfortunate!”

“Then, what are you doing? Since you can divine this, why were you in closed-door cultivation now? Why didn’t you do anything about Heaven?” Jiang Lianshan asked.

Fuxi looked at the sky and shook his head. “I could not split my attention.”

“Could not split your attention? Haha! What a joke! Isn’t it just a closed-door cultivation session? The Six Paths Veritable Lord has already snatched the world. What is the point of your closed-door cultivation?” Jiang Lianshan said seriously.

Fuxi shook his head. “The Six Paths Veritable Lord has not obtained the world yet. Heaven died, but Heaven severely injured the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s heavenly deity body. The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s heavenly deity body obtained the Immortal Origin that controls the world’s laws from Heaven. He can only succeed the Immortal position after returning to this world and using the Immortal Origin. I entered closed-door cultivation for a reason.”

“Elder Brother, I recall that you know Heaven. Why didn’t you do anything? Even if you did not do anything, you could have told Heaven. At the very least, Heaven could have been wary of the Six Paths Veritable Lord,” the Supreme Wa said with a frown.

Fuxi shook his head. “I only knew when Heaven died.”

“What should we do now? The Six Paths Veritable Lord’s heavenly deity body will return soon. Once he returns, the world will change masters. Furthermore, Old Mister Guan Qi will fight it out with him. Are you going to do something and take revenge for Heaven?” the Supreme Wa said anxiously.

“The Immortal Origin?” Jiang Lianshan suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Obtain the Immortal Origin, control the immortal firmament, and become the immortal? Jiang Lianshan’s expression slowly turned solemn. Can I sit by the side and take advantage of the battle between Old Mister Guan Qi and the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s heavenly deity body?

As Jiang Lianshan pondered the possibility, he looked warily at Fuxi. He found Fuxi unfathomable and worried about Fuxi interfering.

“I cannot make a move. I am unable to split my attention.” Fuxi shook his head.

“But…” The Supreme Wa appeared anxious.

“Heaven made other arrangements aside from the time laws before dying,” Fuxi said while shaking his head.

“Other arrangements?” Jiang Lianshan parroted in confusion.

“Spiritual light!” Fuxi said seriously.

“Spiritual light?”

“Eight hundred thousand years later, there are five types of cultivation—lifespan, blessings, divine, cultural, and spiritual. Spiritual cultivation refers to cultivating one’s spiritual light. Do you know about it?” Fuxi smiled.

“I do. However, the Six Paths Veritable Lord reclaimed all the spiritual light in the world the moment he became the immortal. Now, only four types of cultivation remain, although some spiritual light has traveled through time and space to some people,” Jiang Lianshan recalled.

“The so-called spiritual light is the most rudimentary energy of the world. Heaven scattered one-fifth of that energy to bless all life. However, Heaven still held four-fifths of it. Before Heaven died, Heaven coalesced the four-fifths of spiritual light into four heavenly gift cultivation techniques and scattered them into the immortal firmament. The four heavenly gifts are so that someone would succeed them and challenge the Six Paths Veritable Lord. Even if Old Mister Guan Qi fails, the Six Paths Veritable Lord will have a difficult time. The Six Paths Veritable Lord later retrieved all the spiritual light in the world? No. He can take away only one-fifth of it. If his spiritual light forms a cultivation technique, then there would be five heavenly gift cultivation techniques in the world. Just obtaining one would allow one to disdain the world,” Fuxi explained.

“Heavenly gifts?” Jiang Lianshan narrowed his eyes, remembering it.

If Gu Hai were here, he would be incredibly shocked. Of the five heavenly gifts, he had the Worldly Sorrowful Endowment, which was a spiritual cultivation technique.

“Aside from some scattered spiritual light, all the spiritual light in the immortal firmament are potentially gathered in these five heavenly gifts.” Fuxi nodded.

The Scarlet Emperor and the White Emperor exchanged glances. Naturally, anticipation flashed in the two’s eyes; they were determined to search for one when they returned.

“Then, will Old Mister Guan Qi succeed in snatching the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s Immortal Origin?” Jiang Lianshan frowned.

“Although some things in the future are destined, surprises can happen occasionally. It is hard to say.” Fuxi shook his head.

“Are you really not going to get involved? Why? If you obtain that Immortal Origin, you can control the immortal firmament. What else is more important?” Jiang Lianshan frowned.

“I have no intention of becoming Heaven.” Fuxi shook his head, worry flashing in his eyes.

“Elder Brother, what are you worried about? Neither the Six Paths Veritable Lord nor Old Mister Guan Qi is a good person. Regardless of who becomes the immortal, all life will suffer. Please do something!” the Supreme Wa said anxiously.

Fuxi remained silent for a while. Then, he shook his head. “I cannot split my attention. However, there are two people you can search for if you want to stop the Six Paths Veritable Lord and Old Mister Guan Qi.”

“Oh? Who? Is there anyone else who can stop Old Mister Guan Qi and the Six Paths Veritable Lord?” Jiang Lianshan asked in shock.

There are still people in this world strong enough to rival Fuxi—no, someone who is the Six Paths Veritable Lord’s match?

Fuxi nodded gravely.

“Oh?” Everyone showed a solemn expression.

“Eight hundred thousand years later, there are five types of cultivation—lifespan, blessings, divine, cultural, and spiritual. Lifespan cultivation originates from me. The eight lifespan cultivators are my inheritance. I left those inheritances to them for an important reason. Do not interfere with them; they won’t interfere with anything. Blessings cultivation refers to establishing a nation or sect, cultivating blessings. Cultural cultivation is the cultivation of the music, Go, calligraphy, and painting laws. Spiritual cultivation has been reduced to the five heavenly gifts cultivation techniques. However, there is still divine cultivation,” Fuxi said seriously.

“Divine cultivation? Isn’t that the cultivation of the deities of the animal spirits? They are not that incredible,” the Scarlet Emperor said with a frown.

At the side, the Flame Monarch felt upset but remained silent.

“No. You have no idea. Actually, when the immortal firmament was first born, the earlier era was dominated by divine cultivation. Aside from Heaven, the animal spirits reigned supreme. The deities of the animal spirits were incredibly strong, and the humans were just a servant race, as humans could not cultivate a deity. Back then, there were four divine cultivation overlords. Did you know that?” Fuxi asked.

The Flame Monarch frowned. “I seemed to have heard the legends. Back then, there were four strongest animal spirits: the azure dragon of the east, the vermilion bird of the south, the white tiger of the west, and the black tortoise of the north?”

“The azure dragon was the ancestor dragon. But it later fell. However, it established the four dragon palaces. The vermilion bird ruled the bird spirits but also eventually fell. The white tiger ruled all the beasts of the land but also died. The black tortoise is still alive,” Fuxi said gravely.

“The azure dragon, the white tiger, and the vermilion bird died? Don’t they cultivate deities? As long as the deities do not get destroyed, their earthly souls can reincarnate, possessing a practically infinite lifespan?” Jiang Lianshan frowned.

“They were killed,” Fuxi explained.

“Oh? Killed? Who killed them?”

“The humans were treated as slaves. A group of them cultivated deities to save the humans from their plight,” Fuxi said indifferently.

“Humans cannot cultivate deities. How can this be possible?” the Flame Monarch said in shock.

“That’s why they suffered inhuman pain. From then on, they were no longer humans. They became enemies with the animal spirits and were collectively called the shaman race. Shamans consumed the deities of animal spirits and forged themselves into deities. They cursed themselves to prop up the humans. The shamans played an undeniable part in the humans becoming the greatest race in the world now,” Fuxi explained.

“The shaman race? Why have I not heard of them before?” the Supreme Wa asked in shock.

Fuxi ignored the Supreme Wa’s surprise. He continued, “The leader of the shaman race is called Jiangchen.

“Jiangchen?” the Supreme Wa echoed in shock, as there were one thousand jiangchen zombies guarding the island.

“Those are merely Jiangchen’s lineage. I am referring to the primogenitor Jiangchen. Look at these jiangchen zombies. How strong are they?” Fuxi said with a smile.

“He turned them into zombies to nurture a powerful army?” the Supreme Wa said in horror as her expression changed.

“That’s right. Jiangchen led the shaman race, bringing countless zombies to fight the four powerful animal spirit races. The azure dragon, the white tiger, and the vermilion bird fell in the intense final battle. The shaman race nearly went down with them. Jiangchen and the black tortoise sustained severe injuries and had to recuperate. I fought Jiangchen once, but no victor emerged. However, I bet with him, and he lost to me. These one thousand jiangchen zombies are the prize I gained from him.” Fuxi smiled.

“Oh? Jiangchen is still alive? The shamans died with those animal spirits?” the Supreme Wa said in shock.

“That might not be the case. There are still remnants.” Fuxi looked at Jiang Lianshan. “Yan Heavenly Emperor, am I right?”

Everyone looked at Jiang Lianshan in confusion.

Jiang Lianshan frowned heavily.

“Your Holy Eminence, did the first princess become Hanba through a shaman cultivation technique?” the White Emperor asked in shock.

“Perhaps.” Jiang Lianshan showed an unsightly expression.

“In the battle between shamans and animal spirits, both sides suffered severe casualties. Then, the humans rose. Although both sides were injured, Jiangchen and the Black Tortoise Deity survived. You can seek them out,” Fuxi said.

“Where are they?” Jiang Lianshan asked.

Fuxi shook his head. “I don’t know. Go search yourself. Old Mister Guan Qi said you have one year. That means there is still a year before the heavenly deity body returns. I believe you can find them within this one year.”

Jiang Lianshan nodded.

“Elder Brother, how is that Gu Hai now?” the Supreme Wa asked worriedly.

Fuxi looked at the distant sea and shook his head. “There’s no need to worry about him. He has a blessed fate.”

As Fuxi spoke, a loud report came from the nearby hall.

Boom!

Surging Death Energy poured out again.

Fuxi’s face sank as he waved. Then, some energy forced the Death Energy back into the hall.

Jiang Lianshan and the others looked at the distant hall with curiosity.

“Fuxi, why are you in closed-door cultivation at this time? Do you really not care about the Six Paths Veritable Lord or Old Mister Guan Qi?” Heavenly Access asked with a frown.

“The affairs between Heaven, the Six Paths Veritable Lord, and Old Mister Guan Qi are internal problems,” Fuxi sighed as he shook his head.

“Internal problems? Hah?” Jiang Lianshan disagreed with that.

“Just leave. I’m in closed-door cultivation to block an outsider. Hopefully, I can block that outsider. If I die, I will have to leave that outsider to you all.” Fuxi sent off his guests while shaking his head.

Die? That serious?

Outsider? Everyone felt confused.

However, Fuxi had already sent off his guests, so they could not insist on staying.

Before leaving, Sect Master Supreme Ascendant said seriously, “Mister Fuxi, although I do not understand what you are saying, I believe you have your reasons. Before I leave, I just want to ask, who is this outsider you speak of?”

Fuxi looked at Sect Master Supreme Ascendant and nodded. “He is called Sa!”

“Sa?” Everyone felt slightly startled.

Boom!

Death Energy erupted from the nearby hall again.

Fuxi waved.

Boom!

Surging fog covered All Magnificent Island immediately, hiding everything inside.
