52: Chapter 52 The Primordial Eight Trigrams, Fuxi's Great Luo

The Three Ancestors crossed the spatial rift and returned to the Coast of the East Sea.

They handed the top-grade Innate Spirit Treasure, the river chart and luo scroll, to Fuxi.

Ancestor Sui Ren: "Fuxi, this is the Spirit Treasure you need."

"Many thanks, three teachers!"

Fuxi bowed and accepted it with both hands. The moment his fingertips touched the river chart and luo scroll, it was as if the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, geography, and the truths of heaven and earth were all evolving and flowing before his eyes.

He immediately sat cross-legged and began his Epiphany, sinking his mind completely into the river chart and luo scroll.

The Three Ancestors stood to the side, quietly acting as his Protector, their aura restrained, isolating all external interference.

...

The Netherworld, Fengdu City.

"Little brother, this elder brother will certainly help with this matter. I will help you block that old scoundrel Hongjun."

"Many thanks, elder brother!"

After the Three Ancestors returned to the Coast of the East Sea, Shi Yan tore open a spatial rift and arrived at Fengdu City.

He discussed the matter of the Human Dao kongtong seal with Zhenyuanzi.

A look of doubt appeared in Zhenyuanzi's eyes.

"But little brother, do you really intend to fight The Six Sages alone?"

Zhenyuanzi himself was a Hunyuan and a Saint, so he clearly understood the gap in combat power between the two.

Saints were far inferior to Hunyuan, but the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao had their advantages; not only did they have endless mana support, but they also possessed two Innate Supreme Treasures.

Especially on the home turf of the Heavenly Dao, Shi Yan would also be suppressed by the power of the Heavenly Dao.

Zhenyuanzi worried that it was a bit too much for Shi Yan to take on The Six Sages alone.

"Elder brother, my mind is made up!" Shi Yan nodded gently and smiled confidently: "Besides, apart from Hongjun being a bit troublesome, I don't put the mere Six Sages in my eyes at all."

Hearing Shi Yan's words, Zhenyuanzi felt at ease, but still reminded him: "As long as you have confidence, little brother, but this brother must still offer a reminder: watch out for Grand Supreme Laozi."

"Among The Six Sages, although Grand Supreme Laozi is not the Saint with the strongest offensive power, he is definitely the most insidious."

Shi Yan frowned upon hearing this and fell into deep thought.

Grand Supreme Laozi, the head of the Three Pure Ones, seemed to be inactive on the surface, but in reality, he wanted a hand in everything.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors took the lion's share.

He gained a massive amount of Luck during the Investiture of the Gods, and after the calamity, when the Primordial World was downgraded and The Six Sages could not interfere with the Three Realms, he left behind a Three-Corpse incarnation in the Heavenly Court — Taishang Laojun. He was the only Saint among The Six Sages who could interfere with the Three Realms.

The rise of the West, and even the fact that Duobao entered the West to transform the Hu into Buddha, allowed him to share the Karma and Luck of the West.

He was indeed an old, insidious schemer.

"Many thanks for the reminder, elder brother. I will focus on guarding against Grand Supreme Laozi."

Zhenyuanzi: "When do you plan to take action?"

Shi Yan: "At the time of the Mount Tai Fengshan sacrifice."

Zhenyuanzi: "Good!"

Subsequently, he went to the place of Hongyun to request the book of life and death.

...

Coast of the East Sea.

After 2,500 years of seclusion, Fuxi used the river chart and luo scroll to comprehend the Great Dao, observing the stars of the Zhou heavens above and the mountains and rivers below.

He finally created a method to seek good fortune and avoid calamity!

The Innate Bagua!

Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, and Kun, the eight directions, combined with turtle shells, could be used to calculate the secrets of heaven and numbers, perform divination, and seek good fortune while avoiding calamity.

Thus, the Human Race had a means to deduce the secrets of heaven.

And with the birth of the Innate Bagua, Fuxi's Dao of deduction was perfected, and he achieved the status of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

The River of Time appeared around Fuxi.

The timeline contracted, and the Fuxi of the past and the present slowly overlapped.

Memories of his past life awakened, and the Karma line of siblinghood with Nüwa was reconnected.

Far away in Nüwa Palace, Nüwa's heart stirred, and she felt a mysterious connection with Fuxi on the Coast of the East Sea from afar.

"Elder brother, you have finally returned."

A nostalgic and excited voice echoed in Nüwa Palace, and Ling Zhuzi, sensing Nüwa's happy mood, began to play wantonly again.

Fuxi stood up, the turtle shell hexagrams faintly appearing around him, and he returned the river chart and luo scroll to Ancestor Sui Ren's hands.

He bowed solemnly to the Three Ancestors, his voice carrying the calmness of the Innate Sacred period: "Many thanks, three teachers!"

Ancestor Sui Ren put the river chart and luo scroll into his personal space, then looked at Fuxi, his tone carrying a hint of hesitation, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, now that you have recovered your Grand Unity status, the bond of master and Disciple between us is severed; there is no need to address us as teachers anymore."

The Karma of the master-Disciple relationship of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors was ultimately born in accordance with the era; once they achieved the status of Human Sovereign, the Human Dao would sever this Karma.

Although Fuxi did not achieve the status of Heavenly Sovereign, and would never become one, his identity was special, and he had now recovered his memories, so the Three Ancestors had to sever this Karma.

Fuxi stood up slowly, feeling the Karma with Nüwa, and instantly understood the deep meaning of the Three Ancestors.

"Since that is the case, Fuxi will not force it."

He then looked at his own tribe, a hint of decisiveness appearing in his eyes.

"From this day on, there is no longer an Innate Sacred Fuxi in this world, only Fuxi of the Human Race!"

His words were final, and heaven and earth resonated!

Fuxi's Luck all returned to the Human Race, and the Karma that had reconnected with Nüwa was severed again.

The Three Ancestors felt the rise in the Human Race's Luck, and the three of them looked at each other simultaneously, first in surprise, then in a burst of joy.

Ancestor Sui Ren bowed to Fuxi, "Fellow Daoist Fuxi, what great righteousness!"

Ancestor Youchao and Ancestor Ziyi also bowed to Fuxi, "Fellow Daoist, what great righteousness!"

At this moment, Fuxi's status in the hearts of the Three Ancestors skyrocketed.

The three of them never expected that Fuxi would actually give up his Karma and Luck with Nüwa and devote himself wholeheartedly to the Human Race.

This was essentially different from Nüwa, the Holy Mother of the Human Race.

Meanwhile, far away in the Netherworld, Shi Yan looked in the direction of Fuxi, feeling the changes in the Human Race's Luck, and smiled slightly.

"Fuxi has finally severed his Karma with Nüwa."

Time flowed, and another thousand years passed.

On the Coast of the East Sea, Fuxi used the Innate Bagua to civilize the Human Race, teaching people to observe astronomical phenomena, distinguish geography, determine directions, and know good and bad fortune.

The Human Race became increasingly intelligent, and the number of tribes increased dramatically, spreading from the Coast of the East Sea to the Primordial World, leaving the footprints of the Human Race wherever they went.

Fuxi's Karma reached Perfection!

The Sages felt it.

Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace.

Grand Supreme Laozi sensed the changes in the Human Race and looked at Xuandu beside him, his tone flat:

"The Human Sovereign of the Human Race is about to reach Perfection, and the Earth Sovereign is descending. Disciple, go to the Coast of the East Sea immediately to assist the Earth Sovereign in reaching Perfection."

Xuandu stood up and bowed to Grand Supreme Laozi.

"Disciple obeys."

Grand Supreme Laozi gave a light hum, then waved his hand, and a strand of Grand Supreme Qi wrapped around Xuandu, sending him to the Coast of the East Sea.

After Xuandu left, Grand Supreme Laozi took out a black and yellow square seal that was wrapped in the power of the Heavenly Dao, trembling violently, and faintly revealing unwillingness and the Qi of the Human Dao.

This seal was the Supreme Treasure of the Human Dao — the kongtong seal.

Grand Supreme Laozi looked at the kongtong seal in front of him, his eyes filled with helplessness, but beneath that helplessness was a trace of desire.

"The Supreme Treasure of the Human Dao must ultimately fall under the control of the Heavenly Dao."

"My true spirit is finally going to return!"
