Chapter 380

– A Gift from the Human Sovereign
Great Wilderness Swords Gate
Zhong Yue hiked the mountain and found humanity’s holy land in an exuberant state. Zhong Yue was puzzled, he stopped a Qi Practitioner and asked, the Qi Practitioner saw him and quickly answered,
A few days ago, Elder Fang Jiange came back from the West Barren and escorted two human tribes back to Swords Gate. Headmaster Jun ordered a welcome feast for the two tribe leaders.

Zhong Yue was surprised. He knew that Fang Jiange went out into the world, but it came as shocking news that Fang Jiange had actually brought two human tribes back!
It must not have been an easy feat for Senior Martial Brother Fang to escort the two tribes back safely!
Zhong Yue praised in his heart as he headed towards the Seal Suppression Hall first. Qiu Jin’er wasn’t in, and before he could even settle down, Headmaster Jun Sixie had already sent a messenger to invite him to the golden summit.
Zhong Yue arrived at the golden summit to see the elders and hall masters already there. Among the crowd, there were some unfamiliar faces he couldn’t recognize. These were the newcomers from the West Barren, the leaders of the human tribes. Qiu Jin’er was also in the crowd and stood as the representative of the Seal Suppression Hall.
Jun Sixie laughed and said,
Hall Master of the Seal Suppression Hall, you’ve come at the perfect time. Let me introduce you; this is the clan leader of the Shao Dian Clan, Gongsun Dian. This is a female clan leader of the You Jiao Clan, Fu Bao. In the West Barren, the Shao Dian Clan and You Jiao Clan are both huge tribes, with each of them having over 100,000 tribesmen. This time, Senior Martial Brother Fang has rendered a significant merit.

The two clan leaders were also Qi Practitioners, experts whose prowess wouldn’t be considered weak. They then stood up and greeted Zhong Yue
, who returned the same formality in kind as he inspected the two of them.
These two clan leaders had more than a little Fuxi blood in them awakened, although still not comparable to the Feng Clan, they were much better than the other human tribes!
One could say, other than the Feng Clan, they had the highest concentration of the Fuxi bloodline flowing inside their veins!
The You Jiao female clan leader was pregnant, and it was not so convenient for her to stand too long; hence, Zhong Yue urged her to sit down quickly.

Gongsun Dian and Fu Bao married when they were still in the West Barren.

Jun Sixie said,
The human race has now become stronger with the arrival of the two human tribes. Seal Suppression Hall Master, you wouldn’t know it before this, but the Shao Dian Clan and the You Jiao Clan’s ancestors were the descendants of the Human Sovereign.


Lineage of the Human Sovereign?!

Zhong Yue seemed to be unable to control the words coming out of his mouth due to the shock,
Did the Human Sovereign really exist?

Gongsun Dian was cloaked in a bear’s hide commanded an imposing aura. He smiled and answered,
Hall Master of the Seal Suppression Hall, there is the Monster Sovereign for the monster race, the Celestial Sovereign for the celestial race, the Demon Sovereign for the demon race, the Dragon Sovereign for the dragon race. Naturally, humanity would have our own supreme leader, the Human Sovereign!


However, the Human Sovereign is not in the Ancestral Star, according to our clan’s ancient records, he is said to be in the Zi Wei Divine Star, leading the humans there. Thousands of years ago, our clan ancestor, son of the Human Sovereign had descended to the Ancestral Star to lead the humans and let humanity rise to the summit. He came here with great ambitions, and that was to teach humanity on the ways to plow and plant crops so that we could become self-sufficient. However, he was ambushed and was besieged by enemies at the core of the West Barren and thus, he was trapped and no longer able to leave.

Zhong Yue nodded, he had also heard of the story that the Human Sovereign intended to plant the crops so that the humans could walk away from the mountains and seas. However, humanity was too weak, and there was still only a handful of human tribes living in the flatlands.
The You Jiao female clan leader then said,
Our ancestor then settled in the West Barren, starting his own family and tribe. After his death and many years later, our two clans have grown stronger than before. Despite this, we are still too weak to survive a journey out from the West Barren, and we thought that we would never have any chance to taste the freedom of the Great Wilderness … Then, Elder Feng came and seized the opportunity to take advantage of the turmoil when the Xiao Mang Celestial Race was in conflict with the other celestial races to lead us out from the West Barren.

Sadness climbed her face as she said,
But many have died on the way….

Jun Sixie then smiled and said,
Today is a day for celebration, let’s not get mired in the losses of your journey here. Fu Bao, your belly is quite huge, how long have you been pregnant?

Fu Bao blushed and answered,
More than a year now, but I don’t know why my child is just not coming out. I am worried about the child’s well-being….

Gongsun Dian then said,
My wife, when she carried our baby, lightning sparked around the Big Dipper and then struck into her body. I don’t know what it is and I don’t know the nature of the incident, but I am also very troubled by this….

All the elders and the hall masters were shocked and looked over at Fu Bao’s stomach in concentration.
The Human Sovereign was now at the twilight of his life, and the human race who was here was too weak, not to mention that the faraway Ancestral Star was now beyond the Human Sovereign’s reach. At times like this, violet lightning flashed out from the Big Dipper where the Zi Wei Divine Star was purportedly located. This was too big an incident for them to neglect!
However, the Inner Core, Heavenly Dharma, and True Spirit Qi Practitioners couldn’t see the baby in Fu Bao’s belly, all they could see were violet clouds that obscured their visions!
Even Shui Zian, an expert of the Imminent Deity level, saw the same scene, there was no one image of the baby at all!

Strange, how strange….
an elder mumbled softly.
All of a sudden, Zhong Yue cast out his divine third eye and looked over at her. Just as he cast out the divine third eye, the whole golden summit palace was shining in dazzling rays, shocking the crowd.
Zhong Yue looked at the baby and mulled in silent thought; there was violet lightning revolving around the baby. A violet dragon that embedded on the child’s body, the violet dragon was not here to siphon the child’s energy, but was, instead, purifying the baby’s Fuxi divine bloodline.
Human Sovereign, seems like he is executing some secret plans….
Zhong Yue mulled and dispersed the divine third eye, Gongsun Dian then took a step toward him and implored,
Hall Master of the Seal Suppression Hall, what do you see?


Don’t worry. He is very healthy, congratulations to you both.

Zhong Yue smiled and said,
While that violet lightning, it is a gift from Human Sovereign, nothing malicious. This son of yours is bound to have a bright future.

Gongsun Dian and Fu Bao, the parents of the unborn child, had their unsettling hearts eased, and happiness spread across their stiffened faces. Ever since Fu Bao became pregnant, the health of the child was something that had plagued their every waking moment. And now, after Zhong Yue assurances, all they felt was an incredible relief.

A gift from the Human Sovereign?

In the golden summit palace, the Swords Gate elders exchanged surprised looks, but joy could be seen in all their eyes at the revelation. The Human Sovereign was a name that was only heard of in the legends. He was a figure whose existence had hitherto never been verified with certainty.
Yet, as of now, there was a child that was blessed with the gift from the Human Sovereign, this was only great news for humanity’s future!

Does he have a name yet?
Zhong Yue asked.
Gongsun Dian and Fu Bao looked at each other and answered,
There are a few we have in mind, but we couldn’t decide which one to use. I planned to call him Xuanyuan while the bear hide on me is a divine weapon passed down from the ancestor, one that will be sooner or later be in his hands. Thus, my wife proposed the name of You Xiong. Hall master, I’d very much like to hear your opinion, which name is better?

Zhong Yue pondered, moments later, he then said,
I’d say, Xuanyuan. A mere divine weapon is not qualified enough to be his namesake.

The parents were overjoyed and laughed,
That is it, we shall take the hall master’s opinion. He shall be named Gongsun Xuanyuan!

Jun Sixie blinked her eyes and asked,
Hall Master of the Seal Suppression Hall, where have you been all this while? Are you prepared for the battle to come, the challenge from Long Yue?

The others might not know, but she knew fairly well — Long Yue and Zhong Yue were both the same man.
For one to challenge his own self, even Jun Sixie had never seen such a bizarre thing before.
Zhong Yue smiled and said calmly,
How is Long Yue even a match for me? Headmaster, rest assured that when I have arrived at the South Barren, I will take away all of his teeth with my fist. As for my whereabouts these few days, I’m sure that headmaster will hear about it in the near future.

Jun Sixie was nonchalant, and she said smilingly,
You think you can do something world-shaking?

Zhong Yue laughed, he replied,
Then we shall see, I hope you lot will not be shocked by then.

Elder Lei Shan then stepped into the conversation and said solemnly,
Seal Suppression Hall Master, Long Yue is the disciple of Shi Buyi, he is not an opponent to be neglected! His prowess is invincible among the Inner Core level in the whole East Barren, a lead figure for the young monsters. Just recently, Long Yue had placed down an arena stage, taking down every challenge the monster Inner Core Qi Practitioners threw at him. And yet, he remained undefeated from the start until the end. He was just officially pronounced as the strongest among all of the East Barren Inner Core Qi Practitioners!

Granny Tao nodded, and she continued,
Shi Buyi is suffering from heavy injuries at this point in time. He is hiding in his Xian Kong Saint City by himself, and yet, he’s decreed that Long Yue is to replace Gu Hongzi as the new Lord of Gu Xia City. It is clear how much faith Shi Buyi has in his closed-door disciple. If you take him lightly, you might face an unforeseeable defeat.


Long Yue is from the Eastern Sea dragon race and also Shi Buyi’s disciple; his strength is not something to casually dismiss. Among Shi Buyi’s disciple, he is the most talented, and although the world has placed the two of you on the same level, he is far wilder and more unpredictable than you. It is advisable for you to be cautious!

The other elders have also urged him to be cautious, and they said,
This is a life-threatening battle. You mustn’t let your guard down!
Zhong Yue nodded and replied with a smile,
Be at ease, seniors, there is no need to worry too much of me.

Shui Zian and Jun Sixie looked at one another, and they were between laughter and tears as they thought, Of course, there is no need to worry about you, but how are you going to conduct the battle on your own?
Although they knew Zhong Yue was Long Yue, they didn’t know he had cultivated the【Mystic Duplication Technique】. They were still confused as to how Zhong Yue and Long Yue would even be able to appear at the same time.
Qiu Jin’er also knew that he had two identities, but she didn’t know that he had already cultivated the Long Yue incarnation, and she was also curious like the others. She directed her gaze toward at him, her eyes full of curious puzzlement.
After the feast, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er returned to the Seal Suppression Hall, and before Zhong Yue could say anything, the lady already started packing, preparing for a new journey to come.
Not long later, the young lady sat quietly in the wooden wheelchair by his side.
Zhong Yue smiled and said,
Jin’er, are you looking forward to the delicacies again?

Qiu Jin’er mulled and said in poorly concealed embarrassment,
There are indeed more delicacies in the South Barren. Since you’ve mentioned it, I’m really looking forward to it now.

The two of them walked out from the Seal Suppression Hall and immediately saw Shui Zian standing outside of the door. The little old man was high-spirited, energetic and was ready for a long journey.
Behind him, there were over 20 human Qi Practitioners, among which, there were Zuo Xiangsheng and Tian Yanzhong, the two hall masters.
Zhong Yue then said puzzlingly,
Grand elder, you lot are not here for what I think it is, are you?

Shui Zian smiled ear to ear, and his eyes were nearly squeezed into two narrow lines, he said,
There are more than many experts longing for your life. If you are caught by them, you will die for sure. Hence, Headmaster Jun has delegated me as your guardian to protect you little child boy. Not only you, but I’m sure that Shi Buyi would send various monster magnates to protect Long Yue. But, this is strange….

Shui Zian was baffled, the latest intelligence he received had informed him of Long Yue’s arrival at the South Barren with the many monster experts. He came in grandly, but if Zhong Yue were just standing right before him now, then who would this Long Yue be?
Zhong Yue was between laughter and tears, and he said seriously,
Grand elder, I’m very strong now, I can protect myself.


Long Yue have arrived at the South Barren, and the other celestial experts have also gathered in the Fiery Capital. If you’re exposed….

Shui Zian pulled on his mustache in vexation. He said to himself,
I’ll most likely have to say goodbye to a few of my tokens … Who have you hired to act as Long Yue? Is he reliable at all? Will it be better if Hall Master Zuo were to act as Long Yue? Or maybe, Tian Yanzhong can do the job also….

Zhong Yue was helpless as he looked at the grand elder, he quietly sighed to himself before waving his hand,
Let’s go to the Fiery Capital and meet with this Long Yue!

Gongsun – Xuanyuan (公孙轩辕) — aka. Yellow Emperor, a deity in Chinese religion, one of the legendary Chinese sovereigns and culture heroes included among the mytho-historical Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.
He is from the You Xiong Clan, given name Xuan Yuan and surname Gong Sun(Which he later changed into Ji). But because all of the names in the novel are formatted to be two words, (eg. Jun Si-xie, Shui zi-an), so I’ve had it as Gongsun Xuanyuan in this chapter. However, it is very unpopular for him to be called as that and more commonly, the world only knows him as Xuan Yuan. Thus, later in the chapters he will be called as Xuan Yuan (Unless the Gongsun word appears).
