Chapter 851: Ancient Covenant

Nuwa was the title of the Huaxu Clan's leader. In the Earth Order Era, the second reign of the Earthly Sovereign was also the first Fuxi Earthly Sovereign Heavenly Monarch's wife. After the first Fuxi Heavenly Monarch passed away, Nuwa rose in power and conquered the universe as there was no one who could match her.

As the best among the Huaxu Clan, the outstanding Hua Qian was selected as the next generation Nuwa. To be able to rival Yin Fanxuan equally, Zhong Yue believed that he was no match for her.

What troubled Zhong Yue the most was that among the Deity level, the only two people he tasted defeat from were both ladies, not to mention that one of those ladies was his own wife.

"Senior Martial Sister Qianwen, do you know Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin'er?" asked Zhong Yue as he tried to change topics.

"Of course."

Hua Qianwen giggled, "They are both training under Goddess right now. Mister Yi, you happen to know them too? You'll see them once we are at Goddess's."

Zhong Yue pressed down his excitement hearing this and finally, they arrived at the most ancient sacred mountain in Huaxu Clan's sacred land. The view here was breathtaking; the strange rocks were laid everywhere and unique totem patterns were carved into them by nature. The crystal clear jade water and the breezy wind; the daughters of the Huaxu Clan cultivated in this mountain, breathing the natural spirit air and a serpent with immeasurable cultivation wrapped around the mountain cultivating some unknown power.

As they got into the mountain, Zhong Yue heard the sound of water flowing and quickly, they passed a waterfall that formed a splendid silver curtain while ladies with snake body swam and frolicked in the water beneath.

Zhong Yue quickly turned his head away, diverting his eyes elsewhere.

He hadn't run into a single male on his way here, which was why the ladies from the Huaxu Clan were dressed in such thin clothing.

They also passed by quite a number of new sacred palaces where immensely powerful beings resided. As they took another turn in the path, they encountered majestically ancient sacred palaces that contrasted with the considerably new grand sacred palaces.

When they arrived at the mountain peak, ancient Heavens floated in the air above the many ancient palaces. These Heavens were created by the ancient paragons from the Huaxu Clan, each containing their own Six Paths Reincarnation and forming a world each.

Compared to the others, this ancient race still had a large population, and although the power of successive generations continued to diminish, they were still doing much better than the Leizhe Celestial Race.

Within the Zi Wei Galaxy was contained another Leizhe Celestial Race that had their own sacred lands and Heavens. But there were two Leizhe sacred lands. Among the two, the stronger Leizhe sacred land was nowhere weaker than the monarch races but those Leizhe were not real Leizhe, they were just descendants of foreigners that chose to reincarnate into the Leizhe race.

The other one was the real Leizhe Celestial Race's branch and these Leizhe from the 3,000 Six Paths World had set up a base in the Zi Wei Galaxy. However, whether it be power or fame, they were inferior to the fake Leizhe Celestial Race; their territory was extremely small and they were relegated to a small corner of the galaxy.

I can only imagine the difficulty that the Huaxu Clan faced to be able to maintain such strong power....

Just as Zhong Yue was about to enter the ancient palace, his vision landed on a lake in the sacred mountain covered in mist. The spiritual jade water rippled and formed beautiful waves.

In the lake were clean and beautiful lotuses floating all over the lake while a lady was paddling a boat. Another girl sat on a huge lotus beside the boat, washing her hair with the innate divine water, and her serpent tail was inside the water. As the girl washed her hair, she lowered down her head and in the water reflection, her beautiful face became imprinted to the water surface.

"Senior Martial Sister Jun, Jin'er...."

Zhong Yue murmured with an empty mind; the lady on the boat was Jun Sixie and the other one was Qiu Jin'er.

Since when did Jin'er become a Huaxu Clan's member?

"Junior Martial Sister Sixie and Jin'er!"

Hua Qianwen waved at the two ladies happily and introduced, "This is Mister Yi, he said that he knows both of you!"

Qiu Jin'er and Jun Sixie were both surprised and when they looked towards Zhong Yue, he was very excited and he almost wanted to remove his disguise but he quickly stopped as the talented lady standing beside him revealed, "This Mister Yi is an impressive one! He is King Yi from Xian Tian Palace! Do you know Yin Fanxuan? That one that was on par with me? She is his wife!"

Zhong Yue almost stumbled to the ground as soon as he heard this and he immediately dismissed the idea of removing his disguise.

Jun Sixie jumped down from the boat and examined Zhong Yue with a puzzled mind. Though she was confused at how this suspicious man knew her, she did not forget her manners, she greeted, "Mister Yi, you look rather unfamiliar to us. May I ask how you know us? We've never left this place and I am sure that I've not seen you before."

"I just happen to have heard of your names, my lady...."

"Senior martial brother?"

Meanwhile, Qiu Jin'er said shyly, "You're senior martial brother, aren't you? Only senior martial brother knows that we're here."

"No, I'm not," denied Zhong Yue nervously.

Suddenly, Goddess Shen Hou's voice came from the palace behind them, "Ah, the boy from the Zhong Shan Clan! What are you doing? Stop wasting time and get in here."

Jun Sixie widened her eyes immediately and she stared at Zhong Yue furiously. Zhong Yue began to sweat bullets in response and Qiu Jin'er murmured softly as she blinked her eyes, "Senior martial brother is married?"

Jun Sixie wrapped her hands around Zhong Yue's arm and she pinched and twisted Zhong Yue's waist. She gave Zhong Yue a sweet smile and said, "Junior martial brother, what did you say just now? Heard of our names?"

Zhong Yue endured the pain coming from his waist and without changing his expression, he stubbornly denied, "You are hearing things."

"I'm certain that I've heard it!" said a confused Hua Qianwen.

Jun Sixie twisted even more and she added as she smiled and gritted, "You're married? Why didn't you tell me so I can prepare some gifts for you?"

"Goddess is asking us to go inside."

Zhong Yue's clothes were soaked wet by his cold sweat and he forced a smile, "We must not keep her waiting for too long."

Jun Sixie moved her hand away from his waist and humphed coldly while the confused Hua Qianwen proceeded to lead the way in. Zhong Yue felt slightly relieved and just as he thought that this suffering moment was over, Qiu Jin'er stared at his side face and said softly, "When did senior martial brother get married? I've never met senior martial sister-in-law yet... Is she pretty?"

Zhong Yue's sweat began to seep through his clothes as he felt that the stares from the two ladies were sharp needles piercing through his heart. He immediately explained, "It's fake, it's all made up...."

Hua Qianwen on the other hand, feeling nothing at all and she answered, "The whole world knows about their wedding and the 24 monarch races even attended their wedding. The husband and wife also visited the 24 monarch races and thanked them personally. How can it be fake?"

Zhong Yue shot her a deathly glare, which intimidated Hua Qianwen from talking again as she thought in confusion, Did I say something wrong?

Zhong Yue cried bitterly inside and thought, Goddess Shen Hou definitely sent his girl to welcome me on purpose! She speaks way too fast and she can not keep any secrets at all! No wonder Goddess Shen Hou wanted her to erase her own memories or she would've revealed everything!

With everything happened, the very short journey into the palace turned seemed to drag on for eternity as Zhong Yue felt a very heavy pressure weighing on him.

Finally, after enduring the angry and sad stares from Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin'er respectively, Zhong Yue finally saw Goddess Shen Hou who said, "Boy, you are finally here! Never have I expected that the young boy from the lower realms would become the infamous Mister Yi!"

Zhong Yue removed his disguise and greeted, "Greetings, Goddess Shen Hou. I wouldn't be standing here if it weren't for your help, Goddess Shen Hou. I am forever in your debt."

"Why did you get married now?"

Goddess Shen Hou asked, "I know that the lady from Yinkang Clan is compatible with you in all ways but it was still a bit rushed, wasn't it? Ever since the ancient times, the leader of Fuxi Celestial Race and Huaxu Clan's Nuwa have been destined to get married, this is a tradition that has been passed down from the ancient days. I've been planning to have Qianwen to you after she took over the Nuwa position but you have gotten married before that! You've gone against the covenant."

Zhong Yue was stunned and he replied, "Please stop joking, Goddess Shen Hou."

"I'm not, I'm being dead serious here. Nuwa has always been Fuxi's wife, this is an ancient covenant set up by both clans and it must be followed at all times. I still have the contract of the ancient covenant secured in the treasury. I can prove it to you anytime. Now that you are the Fuxi's leader in this generation, Qianwen will marry no one else but you. Our Huaxu Clan's position is on par with Yinkang Clan, if not even higher than them so Qianwen must not be a mistress or you will humiliate us!"

Goddess Shen Hou said with a smile, "Although, you can have two main wives, and there has been precedent from the ancient times. By that time, Qianwen and the girl from Yinkang Clan can be the main wives. Is this arrangement acceptable to you?"

Zhong Yue turned around and looked at the ladies standing behind him immediately, only to see Jun Sixie smiling sweetly at him. Hua Qianwen looking at him confusingly and Qiu Jin'er only looked at him sadly. In an instant, Zhong Yue's dried up clothes became soaked in sweat again.

"Well, it's not like you'll really survive that long. Let us talk about something else."

Goddess Shen Hou burst out laughing upon seeing Zhong Yue's face, "Look at the scaredy-cat Mister Yi! Oh right, you have a daughter here staying with me right now, do you want to see her?"

Zhong Yue's face turned pale right away and he shouted, "Daughter? How come I know nothing about this daughter of mine? Who is she?"

Goddess Shen Hou replied, "You've replaced Liyang's identity, inheriting his name while he became a daughter of Huaxu, walked around with Huaxu's identity so it's normal that she is now your daughter. Her name is Hua Nuxi."

Zhong Yue's heart that almost jumped out from his mouth calm down again as he asked, "I used Li Yang's identity so I can only be considered as her junior martial brother. How can I make her my daughter? Goddess, please stop fooling with me."

Goddess Shen Hou looked at him and said, "Because of you, the conflicts and hostility he caused are now shouldered by you. Thus, he owes you this, it's not over for him to be your daughter. However, this is all up to the two of you to decide. Now, what do you want from me?"

Zhong Yue's sweat soaked his back, the trip to Huaxu was really a frightening experience. He said softly, "I hope to see Goddess's true form and cultivate the Innate Celestial Dao.

Goddess Shen Hou smiled, "Oh yes, to cultivate the Innate Celestial Dao, you need to meet a celestial monarch. Stay with me for sometime, I will let you study my movements and see if you can cultivate it."

Zhong Yue immediately thanked.

"There are also the reincarnated ancient paragons in the Huaxu Clan, it's best that you put your disguise of Mister Yi back on." Goddess Shen Hou said.

Zhong Yue recovered his Mister Yi disguise and followed right beside them as he thought, Thank god Goddess was there or it'd be difficult to explain things to Jin'er and Senior Martial Sister Jun. I'll explain furthermore once they cool down.

Then, Goddess Shen Hou looked at the girls and said, "You two will come too, I will teach you two as well."

Zhong Yue's face turned dark and gloomy, he thought, Goddess is surely doing this on purpose now!
