10: Chapter 10: No, it’s the Ancestor’s Heritage!
The Dao guide soared into the air, emanating a divine light that illuminated the Emperor’s heritage.
At this moment, Jiang Chen lifted his head to look at the Dao guide.
Upon its mirror-like surface, countless mysterious runes emerged, intertwining and forming various unknown patterns, seemingly containing endless profound meanings within.
Merely a glance made Jiang Chen’s head spin, his mind suddenly flooded with countless chaotic messages, making his head feel like it was about to burst.
Shocked, Jiang Chen quickly averted his eyes.
After turning his gaze away, Jiang Chen breathed heavily, trying to calm his racing heart with this method.
“What exactly is recorded in this inheritance?”
“The heritage of the Heavenly Emperor shouldn’t be this terrifying.”
Still shaken, doubt rose in Jiang Chen’s heart.
Was this truly the Heavenly Emperor’s heritage?
Although the Heavenly Emperor was of a high level, they both followed the same path, both were cultivators of the Ancient Martial Arts lineage.
Therefore, the Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance should not be so repellent to him.
In fact, it should have felt familiar.
However, from the Heavenly Emperor’s heritage, Jiang Chen felt not the slightest familiarity.
On the contrary, he felt alienation and endless indifference.
The inheritance gave him a feeling completely unlike one left by the benevolent Fuxi.
It was more like the high and mighty gods, naturally radiating a lofty aura.
Its sanctity resulted in the inheritance being filled with disdain and indifference towards Jiang Chen, a mere mortal.
The great sense of distance between the two made Jiang Chen question the authenticity of this Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance.
At this moment, the Dao guide was on its final step of deciphering the Heavenly Emperor’s heritage, it started to vibrate, making a humming sound, which woke the pondering Jiang Chen.
Regaining his senses, Jiang Chen thought, “Why bother thinking so much now?
Whether the inheritance is true or false will be known once the Dao guide finishes deciphering it.”
Thinking this, Jiang Chen looked up at the Dao guide.
At precisely this moment, the Dao guide completed its final step, fully deciphering the Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance.
At this instant, the complete Heavenly Emperor’s heritage was unveiled before Jiang Chen’s eyes without any concealment.
Upon seeing the inheritance displayed on the Dao guide, Jiang Chen could not help but shrink his pupils, as a myriad of mysteries emerged in his mind before he passed out.
The inheritance displayed on the Dao guide was an image of a primordial holy god:
The upper half was a human with dragon horns, and the lower half was a dragon’s tail.
The true form of the great god Fuxi in the beginning!
Upon seeing the image for the first time, Jiang Chen recognized its origin.
Or rather, no member of the Human Race wouldn’t recognize it.
A human torso with a dragon tail, wasn’t this the initial appearance of Fuxi?
Moreover, he is also the origin of the character “Dao”.
A human torso with a dragon tail is called Dao!
In other words, this is an image of Dao.
Before falling unconscious, Jiang Chen finally understood the true origin of this heritage.
Calling it Fuxi’s heritage isn’t wrong, because this heritage was indeed left behind by Fuxi.
But it is not the heritage of the Heavenly Emperor, rather, it is the heritage of Emperor Fuxi!
The one who left this heritage was the supreme ruler of the ancient Heavenly Court in the past – Emperor Fuxi.
Not the Human Emperor Fuxi!
In other words, this is the inheritance left by the Heavenly Emperor’s past life as Emperor Fuxi.
No wonder this inheritance seemed so sacred and disdainful towards Jiang Chen.
Who is Emperor Fuxi anyway?
A primordial holy god by birth, Empress Nuwa’s elder brother, one of the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, the supreme ruler of the ancient Heavenly Court.
Even the Sanqing would call him a Dao friend when they met.
The inheritance left by such a person wouldn’t pay any mind to beings who had yet to become immortals.
Speaking of which, during the era of Emperor Fuxi, were there creatures as weak as Jiang Chen?
Perhaps, even the weakest beings of that era had the state of Earth Immortal or Heavenly Immortal upon birth.
A being like Jiang Chen, a human with innate Immortal Dao, wouldn’t even be considered low level in that era.
If Emperor Fuxi were to leave behind an inheritance, it would be for the Golden Immortals and Mysterious Immortals to see it, so of course he wouldn’t consider these low-level cultivators.
Even if it was left for them, they wouldn’t understand, so naturally it wouldn’t be left for them.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Chen woke up, rubbing his head.
Even though it had been a long time, he still felt his head buzzing, as if it had been hit hard a few times.
“The strength of Emperor Fuxi is truly astonishing!”
Upon regaining consciousness, Jiang Chen first made a vague sigh, then, he shook his head and eagerly looked at the Dao guide.
The inheritance of Emperor Fuxi was sure to be more precious than that of the Heavenly Emperor.
This isn’t to say that the Heavenly Emperor was inferior to Emperor Fuxi, on the contrary, Fuxi as the Heavenly Emperor was definitely stronger than when he was Emperor Fuxi.
However, the most spectacular part of Fuxi’s life experience was when he was Emperor Fuxi in his previous life.
Survived the Dragon-Han catastrophe, observed the evolutions of heaven and earth, attended the preaching by the Ancestor in the Zixiao Palace, built the Heavenly Court with Di Jun and others…
The series of mythical stories all happened during the era of Emperor Fuxi.
The Ancient era was the most glorious time in the Chaos World.
And the heritage of Emperor Fuxi stemmed from this era, its value was self-evident.
Therefore, the inheritance of Emperor Fuxi was more precious than the Heavenly Emperor’s.
In front of the Dao guide, Jiang Chen had already been warned by the previous experience.
He didn’t dare to directly look at the content of Emperor Fuxi’s inheritance.
His purpose was to indirectly understand what was recorded in Fuxi’s inheritance without touching the specific content inside.
In this way, Jiang Chen would be able to analyze which contents in Emperor Fuxi’s inheritance he could currently access.
Moreover, the inheritance of Emperor Fuxi had already been pre-sorted by the Dao guide, those contents that Jiang Chen could not understand would appear in front of him as something similar to a summary, ensuring that he would not fall unconscious as before.
Letting go of his spirit, Jiang Chen fully immersed himself in the Dao guide, and the next moment, he felt a flood of knowledge rush into his mind.
Lucky he had the Dao guide, otherwise, the overwhelming knowledge could easily overwhelm Jiang Chen’s intelligence and turn him into an idiot.
The general outline of the Innate Eight Diagrams, detailed explanation of the Cycle Star Array, the changes in the Tao of Yin and Yang…
As he absorbed the knowledge, terms that only existed in legends appeared before his mind, becoming familiar to him.
Simultaneously, the origins of this Emperor Fuxi’s inheritance were also revealed to Jiang Chen.
This was left behind by Emperor Fuxi on the eve of the decisive battle between the witches and monsters.
He foresaw his death and was worried that his knowledge would be lost with his death, so he deliberately left an inheritance on Li Mountain for those who were destined to find it.
