If you worry that something will happen, then it is more likely to happen.
This is one of Murphy's Laws, and Charles believed in this sentence with all his heart. Therefore, when he saw this giant dragon and thought that Fuxi would also come, the low, oppressive black clouds in the sky were suddenly pierced by a ray of light.
"The dragon has come, and the sun has come. Will Fuxi not show up next?" httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
Xu Mu was so nervous that he was stared at by the giant dragon in the sea. He had to say some meaningless nonsense to relieve his tension.
But he didn't expect that what he said casually would become a reality.
"Shut up, host, you're in trouble!"
Charles's face changed drastically. He sensed a terrifying fluctuation, even more terrifying than the golden dragon, descending with the sunlight.
Then the two saw a person suddenly appear above the golden dragon's head.
The person was dressed in a yellow robe, with a gaunt face, and his bones could be seen through his skin.
And his bones were even stranger. They grew from the Baihui acupoint at the top to the Zhongzheng area at the bottom, and the sides were framed, reaching directly to the temples, and down to the sideburns' Futang. They looked like a square seal.
"This bone structure is called the 'Chaotian Fuxi Bone'."
Charles was trembling. The person standing on the dragon's head looked very small, but with such a facial structure, who would dare to underestimate him?
Moreover, the giant dragon was Fuxi's mount. Besides that peerless Human Emperor, who else could it tread underfoot?
"Who calls my honored name?"
The person spoke, standing between the dragon's horns. His voice was like the blazing sun, inspiring submission, yet it was also like sacred heavenly music, making people feel distant but also giving rise to inexplicable closeness and reverence.
Xu Mu's eyelids twitched. Fuxi, this person was the Human Emperor Fuxi, and his guess was correct!
"Don't be afraid, it should just be an illusion!" Charles, one step ahead of Xu Mu, broke free from that mysterious state. He quickly reminded him.
Although Fuxi was the Human Emperor and a peerless hero who ended the era of gods and demons, that was over a billion years ago. And even if he could live to this day, he shouldn't be appearing here.
Hearing this, Xu Mu's heart rate gradually returned to normal, and some color returned to his pale face.
Yes, that era was over a billion years ago. The current Fuxi must just be an illusion. He was being tested and must not flinch!
"My name is Xu Mu, a night watchman from Fengqing Village."
Xu Mu introduced himself and then respectfully bowed to the other party.
Fuxi on the dragon's head was expressionless. He seemed to have no idea what a night watchman was.
So he took a step forward.
At that moment, Xu Mu felt as if time had stopped. He saw Fuxi's figure slowly float out of the sea. The tip of his shoe, which was half exposed, pierced the water surface. Then his body was fully exposed to the sunlight.
This process was slow, yet it happened in an instant.
Because Xu Mu's eyes had not yet processed it, his ears had heard everything.
He could hear the sound of Fuxi's feet on the ground, the dripping of water as his robes left the water, the cheers of the sunlight at his arrival, and even the deep breath of the giant dragon.
When Fuxi slowly floated in front of Xu Mu and gazed at him, he finally reacted.
It turned out that all of this was real.
It turned out that Fuxi had truly come.
So Xu Mu lowered his bow even further.
Because he believed that even if this was an illusion, it was the most incredible illusion, so he had to give the Human Emperor the highest respect.
That's right, bowing was the highest form of respect. As for kneeling, Xu Mu had never knelt before anyone except when collecting Wu Kui's corpse, so even the Human Emperor was not an exception.
"You are not the one I am looking for."
Fuxi looked at Xu Mu in front of him, stared for a moment, and then suddenly spoke.
The latter looked up blankly.
He was not the one Fuxi was looking for, what did that mean?
"I am here to seal the Demon God."
Xu Mu didn't know how to respond, so he stated his purpose.
"How did you awaken me?"
Fuxi looked at Xu Mu in front of him and asked.
Although he only had less than one ten-thousandth of his original power, he still had some residual wisdom. According to his memory, the one who awakened him should have been his successor.
But Xu Mu had no mark of his inheritance on him.
So how did he unlock the先天八卦 (Xiantian Bagua) and wake him from his slumber?
"After I finished that game of chess, I held my breath for half an hour, climbed onto the Fenglei Platform, then inserted these flags into their corresponding positions, and struck the drum. Then you came."
Xu Mu straightened up and recounted his entire experience of arriving on the second level without omission.
"You understand the先天八卦 (Xiantian Bagua)?"
Fuxi asked with confusion. According to his calculations, no one in later generations should have understood it except his successor, as it had long been lost.
Xu Mu shook his head and said sincerely:
"I dare not say I understand, I only know some superficial knowledge."
"The corresponding order of your flags was too obvious. If it were more difficult, I would never have been able to solve it."
Xu Mu glanced at the fluttering flags around him, and this was indeed the truth.
If Fuxi had truly created a formation-like setup using the先天八卦 (Xiantian Bagua) for him to decipher, he probably wouldn't have been able to solve it in his lifetime, let alone meet Fuxi.
Charles deserved much credit for Xu Mu being able to stand here. Because without his detailed description of this space, Xu Mu might not have even thought of climbing the cliff to find the Fenglei Platform, which was only visible as the tip of an iceberg from the ground.
"In that case, you and I have some connection."
The figure stared at Xu Mu, then smiled slightly.
"Hoo..."
Hearing Fuxi say that, Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this Human Emperor harbored no ill will towards Xu Mu. Otherwise, with that giant dragon behind him, a single breath might have sent both of them to hell!
"You said you came here to seal the Demon God. Has my seal weakened and can no longer contain him?"
Fuxi asked again.
"Yes and no," Xu Mu said with a grave expression. "Although your seal has weakened, it can still easily contain the Demon God."
"However, the reason I came here is that the Demon God accidentally obtained a sacred artifact called the 'Heavenly Book'."
"The Heavenly Book records infinite mysteries, including the method to break your seal array. Now the Demon God has bewitched a large number of human cultivators. If more time passes, the situation will truly become dire!"
"Heavenly Book?" Hearing these two words, Fuxi was first surprised that such a miraculous book existed in the world, capable of recording everything, including his method of breaking the seal.
But then, he remembered something.
When he was bored in the past, he seemed to have co-authored a book with that person from the Confucian school. It was inscribed with the Great Dao and encompassed all things. His method of breaking the seal would naturally be included in it.
Fuxi's phantom had a strange expression. Perhaps that thing was called a sacred artifact in the current world.
He pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, he noticed something astonishing.
Fuxi looked directly at Xu Mu. His eyes saw through the flesh and blood to the crystalline heart beating in the young man's chest.
His eyebrows rose.
Then, his gaze shifted, and he saw the sword the young man held in his hand.
Fuxi's eyebrows rose again.
The Sacred Crystal Heart, the Demon God's Horn.
What was the background of this young man before him?
"Forget it, people of the present have their own opportunities of the present," Fuxi shook his head and continued, "Since you have a connection with me and cherish all living beings so much, I will make an exception and impart to you the secret art of sealing the Demon God."
Xu Mu's mouth instantly became dry.
Here it comes. The improvement he had been eagerly awaiting was finally arriving.
He just hadn't expected that this improvement would be so unexpected, so astonishing.
Fuxi personally imparted the Way. In this world, who could have such an opportunity!
"Hmph, you've learned some lightning magic and become arrogant. Let's see if I don't crush you this time."
Xu Mu was ecstatic. He could already imagine Gray-White's envious but suppressed expression!
Fuxi, the Human Emperor, ignored what Xu Mu was thinking. He lightly gestured in the space.
Instantly, the upright sea split into countless layers and began to rotate at different speeds.
During this process, countless characters formed within the sea, existing between different layers, facing each other yet dependent on each other, with intricate veins.
Xu Mu felt dizzy from the spectacle.
At the same time, his joy came to an abrupt end, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Fuxi's inheritance.
He had a strange expression, recalling Charles's mention of physics and mathematics problems.
Could it be...
"Young man, here, I will impart to you the most profound Way in the world, capable of killing and sealing all demons."
"Its name is先天八卦 (Xiantian Bagua)."
Fuxi's voice was majestic and brooks no refusal. The eight directional卦旗 (gua flags) fluttered, mirroring Xu Mu's current mood.
"It is also known in the world as the Lian Shan Yi!"
