Chapter 740: Yan Sovereign of the Lie Shan Clan
Realm Monarch Leizhe was very impolite, he publicly addressed the Leizhe Clan's old clan master as an old brat, infuriating the Leizhe Clan's clan members.
Even the old clan master's wrinkled face turned gloomy, but he raised his hand and calmed the Leizhe Clan members.
Realm Monarch Leizhe was also from the Leizhe Clan, but the unity of the clan was long lost after the series of major upheavals throughout the clan's history.
Those that ruled the Leizhe Six Paths World were the ancient figures reincarnated into the Leizhe Clan. Although the blood of Leizhe flow in their body, they weren't true Leizhe members and had no allegiance to the Leizhe Clan.
Leizhe members like them were called outsiders, they even retained their surnames from the previous lives instead of adopting the true Leizhe Clan's surname.
The true members of the Leizhe clan resided in the Lei Zhe Galaxy. Both their soul and blood were be the purest of the Leizhe Clan. However, as the outsiders kept suppressing on them, their lives grew harsher and it became increasingly harder to maintain the safety of the Lei Zhe Galaxy.
Realm Monarch Leizhe sneered coldly, "Some of the Fuxi rebels that seek refuge by reincarnating into the Leizhe Clan are still alive I presume? Why not call them out to confront me?"
Leizhe Clan old clan master shook his head, "No matter what race we previously were, so long as we are reincarnated into the Leizhe Clan, having the same blood flowing in our veins, we will be a family. In the Lei Zhe Galaxy live only those from the Leizhe clan. Realm Monarch, aren't you one who was reincarnated into the Leizhe Clan as well?"
Realm Monarch Leizhe laughed aloud, "Although your ancestor's blood flows in my veins, I am never a Leizhe. I only reincarnated to your race so that I can have the power of your bloodline. But that's enough talking. Do ask your dear guest to see me, if he is really just a respected guest, I will leave without turning my head back. However, if he is a Fuxi, then don't blame me for being cold-hearted."
The Leizhe Clan members grew furious, even the Leizhe Clan's old clan master had a flash of killing intent brimming in his heart. It was then that a peal of loud laughter echoed out, "Clan master, Realm Monarch, what's with all the trouble? Fine, I will just show myself if that solves everything."
The crowd looked over and saw an elder striding out from the land in the center of the Lei Zhe Galaxy. He reached to their side in just a few seconds, with his head titled upwards, he laughed and said, "Realm Monarch Leizhe, I am from the Imperial Star. Is that enough for the old clan master to welcome me in such a manner?"
Realm Monarch Leizhe's face grew solemn as soon as he heard the elder was from the Imperial Star. He quickly stood up and bowed, he asked respectfully, "And may I ask of your name?"
"Lie Shan Clan of the Imperial Star, Jiang Yiqi."
The elder smiled, "Realm Monarch, you don't have be so polite. I am a half-blood human and Zhong Li Celestial Race, as well as some of the Leizhe bloodline. I am here to visit the old clan master under the Nong Sovereign's order."
As soon as Realm Monarch Leizhe heard the word 'human', his face darkened and felt ashamed to the fact that he actually bowed to one. He immediately straightened up his body and said emotionlessly, "I see. But you are just a mere human, how are you ever fit for the old brat to have the stars welcome you? Member of the Lie Shan Clan, don't make yourself look good when you don't possess such qualifications, only one from the Shen Nong clan is fit for this."
Jiang Yiqi laughed, "Realm Monarch, you don't know yet. I am no mere human, but the next Human Sovereign. Nong Sovereign is reaching the end of his time, and his final will is for me to inherit his throne. That said, I am the next Human Sovereign, am I now fit to enjoy the grand welcome by the Leizhe Clan?"
Realm Monarch Leizhe gave a frigid sneer, he gestured his cronies and left, he ordered, "Return to the Heaven Court. Heed my words, all the officers will stay and closely watch the Lei Zhe Galaxy. No matter who walks out of it, as long as it's not the Lie Shan Clan member, kill at will!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" The over million armies shouted unitedly.
Then, Realm Monarch Leizhe led his subordinates and left. After Lie Shan Clan Jiang Yiqi saw them off, he turned to the old clan master and laughed, "Jiang Yiqi is late."
"Thank heavens that you've come, or blood will have been shed in this land." The old clan master sighed, "You came with the teleportation formations? It is a long way from the Imperial Star. Why did the Shen Nong Clan member bring you here?"
Jiang Yiqi and the old clan master walked to the center land deep in the Lei Zhe Galaxy side by side. He answered, "There are two reasons I am here to visit the old clan master. The first reason was that the Nong Sovereign can't live for more than a few years time, he has passed down the throne to me along with the responsibility of looking after the human race; thus, his orders are to send me here to notify you of the transfer of power."
Old clan master nodded and let out a long sigh, "He too is dying? The human race owes him far too much. He possessed all the necessary attributes to be successful; intelligence, mind, will, and spirit. Yet, he was contained in the Zi Wei, crowned as the Human Sovereign but holding no power in hand. He was made a leader who was no better than a prisoner. Jiang Yiqi, you who will become the next Human Sovereign, should know that the future that lies ahead for you will be no different to the Shen Nong's."
"Jiang Yiqi is ready. I've even thought of my appellation after becoming the next Human Sovereign, the Yan Sovereign."
Jiang Yiqi laughed, "Although the Nong Sovereign was held captive and had never left the Zi Wei in his whole life, he still managed some good deeds, especially teaching the human race to plant crops so that they don't starve. Even I don't dare to say I can do any better or even surpass him. As for the second reason for me to come, it is to plead the old clan master to open the Ancient Leizhe Realm for a candidate to cultivate in it."
The old clan master's face changed drastically, he exclaimed in shock, "There is another Fuxi!?"
"That's not it, he is a disciple that the Nong Sovereign has been taking care of. His name is Gongsun Xuan Yuan and he is still in the Ancestral Star...." Jiang Yiqi answered and all of a sudden, his face also changed drastically and his body shuddered in shock, "Another Fuxi!? What Fuxi!? The grand welcome of the Lei Zhe that took place just moments ago, could that be..."
"A young human Fuxi." The old clan master immediately placed a series of heavy barriers around them and sealed the space, he said, "A young human who has awakened 35% of the Fuxi bloodline. He is now in the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm tribulating for his coming-of-age ceremony. Yiqi, you need to see him."
Jiang Yiqi nodded heavily, "I must see him!"
Then, he suddenly titled his head up and laughed loudly while tears rolled down his wrinkled face, "Fuxi, a Fuxi! Finally, you are here, but far too late in time. If you've come earlier, how would I still reincarnate with the Zhong Li Celestial Race's bloodline and identity..."
The only reason Jiang Yiqi could secure a high position in the Zi Wei Galaxy was exactly because of the Zhong Li blood that coursed through his veins. Because he was not a pure-blooded human and also held status within the Zhong Li Celestial Race, the Zi Wei Imperial Star didn't guard against him too much.
In order to survive and continue to exist, the human race had to take numerous measures. Jiang Yiqi was just the tip of an iceberg, there were many more humans cautiously hidden in the other races.
"Nong Sovereign, yes, there is also Nong Sovereign!" Jiang Yiqi's eyes brightened up, he walked back and forth anxiously while laughing, "I need to tell him, he must be very happy to hear this!"
The old clan master was puzzled, "Why are you so happy? Si Ming is also a Fuxi, a pureblood Fuxi, is she no better than the half-blood human Fuxi?"
Jiang Yiqi answered, "It takes ten months for a lady to give birth to one or two children, just how long would it take to grow a race? But a man is different, in ten months, a man can create a huge race already! Thus, a male Fuxi is more useful than a female Fuxi at this juncture!"
The old clan master was bewildered, he thought, This old man Jiang Yiqi, he speaks just like Xin Huo. But he isn't wrong either, for the continuation of the Fuxi Celestial Race, the seeds of life must be planted all across the universe as much as possible...
Meanwhile in the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm, Zhong Yue knew nothing about the two elders' discussion of making him into a reproduction machine. The young man now stood at the edge of the first lightning tribulation. In front of him was a space of chaos filled with ominous lightning flashing about randomly. It replicated the scene of when the universe was still in its nascent stages.
The Pure Yang Lei Zhe was a mark of the true Lei Zhe left in the universe, but it was still stable when compared to its original copy which would even attempt to engage Zhong Yue before he even entered the lightning zone.
Even when he was just standing on the outside of the edge, the lightning would still sense his soul and strike at him.
Zhong Yue had already been struck by it a few times, causing his body and Yuan Shen to shudder. The lightning didn't just contain the Pure Yang lightning, but also many other types of lightning like the Myriad lightning, Nine Cloud lightning, and Tribulation lightning.
The Pure Yang lightning was just the basic lightning. On top of that, the lightning would also possess different attributes. The fundamental laws in here were also much different than the outside where several elements coexisted.
In the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm, there was only one element in here. Everything in here was made of lightning, even the clouds, water, land, animals, grasses, trees, flowers, and even the Yin and Yang!
This is just like an independent world created by nature with its fundamental laws standing on its own. No wonder it can nurture and give birth to an innate celestial dragon.
As he thought, Zhong Yue was struck by another flash of Yin lightning that nearly melted his mortal body. He rapidly recollected his thoughts and discharged the Yin lightning's remaining power out of his body.
He wasn't in a hurry to enter the first level Lei Zhe; but instead, he sat down and started attaining the quintessence of the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture].
It was the perfect place to cultivate the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] and refine his mortal body and Yuan Shen with the lightning in the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm.
One must know that even the Pure Yang lightning zone in the outside world contained only Pure Yang lightning.
Whereas in the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm, there were countless types of lightning with numerous attributes and natures. If he could grasp the opportunity and utilize it well, he would see another great leap in strength!
The [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] was indeed worthy of being an imperial-level cultivation technique. It wasn't just a physique-refining technique, it also refined the Yuan Shen, arcane energy, and psyche!
It absorbed the various types of lightning and used them to temper his body. The stronger the lightning he absorbed, the greater the benefits.
Going through the Pure Yang Lei Zhe allowed him to absorb the Pure Yang lightning and enhance his mortal body and Yun Shen to be one step closer to the Pure Yang state.
Absorbing the Yin lightning would strengthen his soul, the Tribulation lightning strengthened the Wu Xing Secret Realm, the Myriad lightning strengthened the Wan Xiang Secret Realm, and the same applied for the remaining secret realms.
Wait! When Zhong Yue was studying the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture], his heart suddenly thumped and he thought, The Pure Yang mortal body is definitely an extreme state in the Imminent Deity level! I see, I see...
Inside the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture], he found exactly what the cultivation technique for the Pure Yang mortal body was!
The cultivation technique recorded how to absorb the Pure Yang lightning and slowly transform the mortal body as well as Yuan Shen into the Pure Yang state. The result of that process was achieving deityhood in its true peak form, the Pure Yang mortal body, and Pure Yang Yuan Shen!
This was one of the greatest arts of the Fuxi Clan!
Strange, but why haven't I heard of any Qi Practitioners cultivating the Pure Yang mortal body? Zhong Yue was puzzled, if the extreme state really existed, why hadn't there anyone cultivating it?
Because... the annihilation of the Fuxi Celestial Race caused the cultivation technique to be lost? His heart turned ice-cold at the thought.
