YM778.TV Chapter 1114 - Goddess Hua Xu
They traveled a long time before finally arriving at the Huaxu Clan’s sacred land. Zhong Yue looked around and saw an ocean of stars. The outer rims of the sacred land were surrounded by stars formed from water. Whereas here, it was an ocean of billions of stars.
They swayed gently in waves. Zhong Yue could clearly pick up the air of the Innate Kui Water Dao breezing over his pores.
“This is the place where Hua Xu was born. I was nurtured on the island here. Look.” Goddess Shen Hou gently waved her hand and separated the star ocean. Beneath the ocean waters, there were the Innate Kui Water Daos swimming casually in the waters like innate snakes.
Then, Goddess Shen Hou waved her hand again and revealed the land on the bottom of the ocean. It was filled with the thick and heavy air of Kun Earth, the Innate Earth Dao and the very foundation for nurturing all lives.
“Water and earth and the evolution of a universe. The two contained the secrets of the ancient era. Now, go down.”
Goddess Shen Hou gave him a soft push and Zhong Yue fell toward the star ocean.
“Oh, I’ve forgotten to tell you.” Goddess Shen Hou’s chortled from behind them, “If you want to survive the star ocean, you will have to use the Huaxu form. Else, the ever-increasing pressure will hinder your movements and eventually grind you into ash!
Zhong Yue fell into the star ocean and could immediately feel the immense pressure crushing down on him. Every drop of the ocean water was a star, and he was surrounded by the ocean water all around him, those were the countless stars!
More importantly, it wasn’t a small pond of tranquil waters; it was an ocean tiding with high and huge waves smashing down on the ocean surface!
Not to mention that there were still the undercurrents below the surface, swooping over the objects under. At the instant he fell in the water, Zhong Yue could already feel his mortal body getting crushed away!
Without delay, he quickly cast out the Fuxi True Form and swung his innate snake tail. The currents slid by his body smoothly and the pressure acting on him greatly softened.
Furthermore, he could sense his snake tail slithering in a strange yet abstruse pattern on itself. It was some kind of movement technique that allowed him to evade all incoming attacks!
The movement technique was an inherent nature to the Huaxus. When cast, it allowed the Huaxus to evade every skill, slither into the dimensions and move to anywhere they pleased. Every movement was filled with elegance and resonated closely with the law of heaven and earth!
“The Huaxus’ mortal body, it’s so heaven-defying!” Zhong Yue couldn’t help but praise.
The Fuxi Clan’s innate snake tail was inherited from the Huaxu Clan. Among the past monarchs of the Fuxi Clan, there were some that specialized in cultivating the snake tail. For example, Lady Monarch Yin Qiang cultivated her snake tail into the Innate Dragon Bone Spear and created the [Yin Qiang Demon Conqueror Mystic Scripture]. However, she didn’t cultivate the snake tail’s movements to its peak, instead, the one who did was Monarch Jie Shi!
Monarch Jie Shi, the 20th Fuxi Heavenly Monarch, her movements were said to render her untouchable. Her cultivation art was known as the [Dao Que Dragon Snake Art]. It had perfectly combined the dragon’s swiftness and the snake’s flexibility into one, every move was in line with the natural movements of the Daos.
Legends had it that during her reign, Monarch Jie Shi never received an attack from her enemies nor missed one against her enemies. She was on an otherworldly stage where no skills could ever reach her!
“Shame I don’t have the complete [Dao Que Dragon Snake Art] with me. Otherwise, my improvements will surely be incredible when studying it in the Ancestral Court.”
Zhong Yue lamented in his heart. No matter how amazing the innate snake tail was, it doesn’t change the fact that Fuxis were just half Huaxus. His upper body was still faced with immense pressure, forcing him to continuously changing his movements to avoid the vehement currents.
The deeper he swam, the greater the pressure grew, and Zhong Yue had to open all six secret realms to resist the pressure. But the longer he swam, the deeper his understandings in the movements became as well.
Every movement was a presentation of Dao, achieve it and one would be able to evade all skills from hitting him. However, Zhong Yue’s comprehension would take thousands of years to reach that stage.
Fortunately, he had the incomplete [Dao Que Dragon Snake Art], and he was able to refer to it to speed up the learning process.
He was swimming in the star ocean with the innate Daos floating around him like snakes. Zhong Yue swam toward them and played with the Daos while meticulously studying them.
To him, this place was much safer than the Quasi Star Region. After all, it was a complete innate sacred ground here and one of the Fuxi Clan’s ancestral grounds. Although it wasn’t really like back at home to him, it didn’t pose much danger to him either.
However, to the other races, this was definitely a precarious zone. They might not even be able to move or even die!
The Huaxu’s star ocean didn’t only have one Innate Kui Water Dao. At some point, Zhong Yue could even see hundreds of them floating or swimming casually like snakes around him.
He followed the innate Daos and swam toward the deep ocean while studying their abstrusities. After a long time, he found an altar formed naturally in front of him. The Daos were gathered around the altar, waltzing and surrounding it.
Zhong Yue saw an innate mortal body on the altar’s center. She was a giant with a human body and a snake tail. Her tail was coiled together as she ‘sat’ on the center, but she emanated no air around her.
Suddenly, Zhong Yue could feel his bloodline boiling in his veins. His Huaxu divine blood was trembling in resonance with the innate god on the altar.
She was his ancestor.
The grand ancestor of the human race, Fuxi Clan, and Yanzi Clan, the mother of their ancestors.
Hua Xu.
Goddess Hua Xu.
The meeting between Hua Xu and Lei Zhe gave birth to Great Sui. Great Sui created the totem pattern cultivation system and gave birth to Fuxi, and the Fuxi was sealed to become the human.
Zhong Yue looked up at the stalwart figure. He couldn’t feel anything coming from Goddess Hua Xu, couldn’t tell if she was alive or dead. But the innate Daos of the star ocean were surrounding the altar and resonating with his Huaxu bloodline.
“Is this the goddess’s shed body or her true body?” Zhong Yue’s heart was filled with reverence toward the grand ancestor. However, Goddess Hua Xu’s situation made him a little uneasy. The goddess’s body didn’t have any life force in it, making her status unknown to him!
“Goddess?” Zhong Yue tried.
On the altar, Goddess Hua Xu didn’t reply to his call and Zhong Yue’s heart sank slightly. If Goddess Hua Xu was really dead, her true body would never be left unburied here. But Goddess Hua Xu wasn’t showing any reaction, no air coming from her and no life force in her body. Her situation was truly puzzling.
“Is Goddess Hua Xu severely injured, so she came back to where she was born to recuperate her injuries with the innate Daos here?”
Being clueless over Goddess Hua Xu’s status, Zhong Yue’s only option was to take a random guess. In addition, Goddess Shen Hou didn’t mentioned anything to him before, it seemed like she was somewhat held back from saying anything.
Zhong Yue get onto the altar and sat beside Goddess Hua Xu. His Huaxu bloodline was gently resonating around her presence, even giving him the warmth of being back inside the mother’s arms.
The origin of the Huaxu divine blood of all Fuxis was from her. His mind and soul were never this peaceful before sitting beside her.
Zhong Yue sat there, studying the innate Daos around and trying to understand the abstrusities in them.
Half a year later, Zhong Yue stood up and bowed at Goddess Hua Xu. He swam out of the altar and dived down. There, the star ocean was slowly replaced by the thick and heavy air of Kun Earth Qi.
Zhong Yue swam into the Kun Earth Qi and continued diving down. After a long time, he surfaced from the Kun Earth Qi, glanced around and was stunned.
He was now at the other end of the Hua Xu Sacred Ground. Unlike the other face of the sacred ground, the topography here was a continent made of Kun Earth. Divine mountains were high and tall, grand and stalwart, and there were many planets formed by the Kun Earth Qi hovering in midair.
Turns out, the Hua Xu Sacred Ground consisted of two parts formed by different innate sacred grounds. One part being the water and the other was the earth, and they have merged together into a wonderous sacred ground.
The last time Zhong Yue was here, he didn’t get to see the true face of the sacred ground.
Whereas the Huaxu Clan has two goddesses. The first was the innate snake born from the water and the other was the innate snake born from the earth!
Although both were born as innate snakes, due to the different Daos they were nurtured from, the two goddesses cultivated different Daos as well. The water innate snake cultivated the Kui Water and the earth innate snake cultivated the Kun Earth.
In this Kun Earth Sacred Ground, Zhong Yue also found an altar. The Kun Earth Daos surrounded the altar and a familiar lady was sitting in the lotus position on the altar.
Zhong Yue swam through the Kun Earth Qi and reached the altar. The young lady on the altar immediately turned around to look and was stunned, then, she exclaimed happily, “Senior martial brother!”
Zhong Yue smiled back, “Jin’er, why are you here?”
The Huaxu young lady was Qiu Jin’er. She was shocked and overjoyed to see him and she smiled, “Goddess said I’m the Celestial Wood Spirit Body, the element earth nurtures the element wood. Thus, she sent me to cultivate here. Senior martial brother, I’m now very strong, enough to help you already!”
Zhong Yue looked at her from top to bottom and was surprised. Indeed, Qiu Jin’er wasn’t weak at all. Her cultivation base was now at the peak of Deity Overlord, her foundation was solid and her Yuan Shen was exceptionally strong. Her prowess has seen a stunning boost under Goddess Shen Hou’s teachings.
Although Goddess Shen Hou’s prowess was not as strong as Innate Evil Monarch, Innate Demon Monarch, and the others, but her knowledge and wisdom were beyond their reach. After all, her true body was Dao God Hou Tu!
Innate Evil Monarch, Innate Demon Monarch, and the others had trained amazing disciples that had even secured their spots in the Board of Future Monarchs. As Goddess Shen Hou’s disciple, it wasn’t too surprising that Qiu Jin’er had similar achievements.
Zhong Yue shook and smiled, “The level of Deity Overlord is also known as the Cataclysmic Realm. Even I nearly died a few times in the tribulation of this level. Jin’er, it’s better for you to break through the Deity Overlord before leaving the sacred ground to aid me.”
Qiu Jin’er nodded obediently, she said, “Senior martial brother, why are you here? Goddess said this is a saint and sacred ground, only a few notable Huaxu disciples are qualified enough to enter.”
Then, Zhong Yue explained his goal here to which Qiu Jin’er exclaimed in surprise, “So you are here for the Kun Earth Dao and Kui Water Dao? I can teach you! Also, didn’t you saw Senior Martial Sister Jun? Senior Martial Sister Jun is on the altar of the other end studying the Kui Water Dao. She cultivated longer and can directly impart it to you, it’d save you some time!”
Zhong Yue shook, “No, I didn’t meet Senior Martial Sister Jun.”
“That’s weird. Senior Martial Sister Jun might’ve left.”
Then, Qiu Jin’er imparted her attainments in the Kun Earth Dao to Zhong Yue and the young man meticulously studied it. At the same time, he was also referring to the Innate Kun Earth Daos around the altar to further his attainments.
The two studied together and discussed their attainments with each other. Their cultivation progress was boosted and they grew more intimidate. It was as if they have returned to the days of bathing in the clouds and lightning back in Swords Gate.
