Chapter 307 The Yellow Emperor!
After returning from the Xuan Nu Palace, Su Fan rested at the Wan Jian Pavilion for three days.
Over the course of three days, he recovered his divine power while studying the golden light given to him by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
The next world is called the Xuanyuan Realm.
There is a statue there, which is of the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.
Looking at the name, Su Fan felt a mix of emotions.
The Yellow Emperor.
The progenitor of Chinese civilization.
The first of the Five Emperors.
That legendary figure who unified the Chinese tribes, invented the compass chariot, cast the tripod, and ascended to heaven on a dragon.
In Chinese mythology, the Yellow Emperor held an extremely high position. Although he was not among the Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors, his influence far surpassed that of most deities.
Because he was the human emperor.
He was the first common leader of the human race.
They are the common ancestors of all Chinese people.
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"This trip is a must."
……
three days later.
In front of the teleportation array.
There weren't many people going this time; Su Fan only brought the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the Earth Goddess.
The Ziwei Emperor and the Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun stayed behind to guard the Wanjian Pavilion to prevent the God Hunters from launching a sneak attack.
Emperor Gouchen also stayed behind. Although his divine shadow was only at the peak of the Hunyuan realm, it was rich in experience and could be of assistance.
Jian Wudi stood in front of Su Fan, his expression solemn.
"Su Fan, be careful on your trip to the Xuanyuan Realm. I've looked into information about that world; it's very strange."
Su Fan raised an eyebrow.
"Strange?"
Jian Wudi nodded.
"Yes. The Xuanyuan Realm ranks very low among all the heavens and myriad realms, but it has a great reputation. Because nine out of ten people who go in never come out."
"Some say there are ancient restrictions inside, some say there are terrifying beasts inside, and some say there is a madman living inside."
Su Fan frowned.
"What about the one that came out?"
Jian Wudi smiled bitterly.
"The one who came out is insane."
Su Fan: "..."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden spoke up from the side.
"I have heard of the Xuanyuan Realm. There are indeed strange things there, but not because of any restrictions or ferocious beasts, but because of the will of the Yellow Emperor."
Su Fan looked at her.
"The Yellow Emperor's intentions?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded.
"Yes. The Yellow Emperor was the human emperor. He ruled over all people during his lifetime, and after his death, his will did not dissipate, transforming into a powerful will that enveloped the entire Xuanyuan Realm."
"This will will test everyone who enters. Those who fail will get lost inside and go mad."
Su Fan paused for a moment.
Then he laughed.
"Then I should go even more."
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden looked at him.
"Aren't you afraid?"
Su Fan shook his head.
"What's there to be afraid of? I am Chinese, going to see our ancestors. What's there to be afraid of?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden paused for a moment, then smiled.
"Good. I like your temper."
Su Fan turned around and looked at the portal.
"Let's go."
He stepped into the portal of light.
……
Xuanyuan Realm.
A state of chaos.
When Su Fan stepped out of the portal, the first thing he saw was endless mist.
The fog was thick and gray, so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
There is no sky, no earth, no direction.
There was only fog.
An endless fog.
Su Fan frowned.
"This place..."
Houtu Niangniang stood beside him and sensed his presence.
"Such a strong will. Is this the will of the Yellow Emperor?"
The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden nodded.
"Yes. The entire Xuanyuan Realm is shrouded in this will. To find the statue of the Yellow Emperor, one must pass through this mist and undergo the test."
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"Let's go then."
The three of them walked forward.
In the fog, nothing could be seen.
We can only rely on our instincts and move forward step by step.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly came from ahead.
It was an old voice, as if it came from ancient times.
"Who goes there?"
Su Fan stopped in his tracks.
"A Chinese man, Su Fan."
There was a moment of silence.
"Huaxia... Huaxia... I haven't heard this name in a long time."
"What brings you here?"
Su Fan looked up into the depths of the mist.
"Go find the statue of the Yellow Emperor and awaken him."
The sound fell silent again.
Then, it laughed.
"Awaken the Yellow Emperor? Do you know that the Yellow Emperor's will has been looming over this place for three thousand years? In those three thousand years, countless people have come here, all trying to awaken him, but none of them have succeeded."
"Some of them died, some went mad, and some got lost in the fog and could never get out."
"What gives you the right?"
Su Fan smiled.
"Because I am Chinese."
The voice paused, startled.
"Chinese?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. Chinese. Descendants of the Yellow Emperor."
The voice remained silent for a long time.
Then, it opened.
"Alright. Then let you give it a try."
"The first test will test your character."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding mist suddenly dissipated.
Su Fan found himself standing on a battlefield.
Corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed like a river.
The shouts of battle were deafening, and the clash of swords was ear-piercing.
Countless people rushed towards him, wanting to kill him.
Su Fan stood still, without moving.
He knew it was an illusion.
Those people rushed in front of him, slashing at him with swords and knives.
But it can't be cut.
Su Fan was protected by the Pangu Armor, so these illusions could not harm him.
But he did not retaliate.
He simply stared at the illusions, his eyes calm.
"These are all wars that the Yellow Emperor experienced, right?" he murmured.
The illusion did not answer, but continued its attack.
Su Fan remained motionless as they attacked him.
After an incense stick has burned.
The illusion vanished.
The fog rolled in again.
The voice rang out again.
Why didn't you fight back?
Su Fan smiled.
"Why fight back? They're not real."
The sound was silent.
Then it said.
"First hurdle passed."
"The second challenge will test your wisdom."
The fog dissipated once more.
Su Fan found himself standing in front of a huge maze.
The maze is so high you can't see the top, so wide you can't see the edges, with countless passages crisscrossing it.
A sound rang out.
"This is a maze designed by the Yellow Emperor to trap enemies. You must find the exit to proceed to the next level."
Su Fan frowned as he looked at the maze.
This maze is so big, how long will it take to find the exit?
He thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
He raised his hand, and the Investiture of the Gods unfolded.
Three hundred and sixty-five golden rays shot out and flew to various parts of the maze.
Soon, beams of golden light returned, outlining the complete map of the maze.
Su Fan looked at the map and found the location of the exit.
He stepped into the maze, and following the map's directions, he wandered through the maze for a while before emerging after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The voice fell silent.
"...You cheated."
Su Fan smiled.
"That's called wisdom."
The voice remained silent.
"You've passed the second hurdle."
"The third challenge will test your courage."
The fog dissipated once more.
Su Fan found himself standing before an abyss.
The abyss is bottomless, and below lies endless darkness.
A terrifying roar echoed from the darkness.
A sound rang out.
"Jump down."
Su Fan raised an eyebrow.
"Jump down?"
The voice nodded.
"Yes. Jump down. Do you dare?"
Su Fan walked to the edge of the abyss and looked down.
In the depths of darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes could be faintly seen.
Those eyes were huge, bigger than a mountain.
She was staring at him.
Su Fan took a deep breath.
Then, he jumped down.
The wind howled in his ears, and darkness swallowed him up.
Below, those blood-red eyes were getting closer and closer.
Finally, he saw what it really was.
It was a huge, ferocious beast, entirely black, with three heads and its body covered in scales.
Its aura indicates it is at the third level of the Dao Realm.
Upon seeing Su Fan, the ferocious beast roared simultaneously with all three heads and pounced on him.
Su Fan did not dodge.
He raised his hand, and the Immortal Execution Sword was drawn.
A sword strike was unleashed.
The sword light tore through the darkness and struck the ferocious beast.
puff-
The ferocious beast let out a miserable cry, and all three of its heads flew off at the same time.
Fresh blood gushed out.
The body fell.
Su Fan continued his descent.
I don't know how long I fell, but finally my feet touched solid ground.
The fog dissipated all around.
He stood before a magnificent palace.
The palace is entirely golden, built above the clouds, and is magnificent in appearance.
At the entrance of the palace stands a stone tablet.
The stone tablet is inscribed with four large characters: Xuanyuan Temple.
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"arrive."
Behind them, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the Earth Goddess also landed.
They looked at the palace with a hint of respect in their eyes.
"This is the Yellow Emperor's temporary palace," said the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.
Su Fan nodded and stepped into the palace.
Deep within the palace, in a grand hall.
There stands a statue.
The statue is three zhang tall and depicts a middle-aged man dressed in imperial robes, wearing an imperial crown, holding a long sword, and with a dignified face.
The Yellow Emperor.
Su Fan walked up to the statue and stopped.
He looked at that face, and a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him.
This is the Yellow Emperor.
The progenitors of the Chinese nation.
The common ancestor of all Chinese people.
He took a deep breath and then started the live stream.
Tens of millions of people flooded into the live stream room instantly.
The screen was flooded with comments.
"The boss is live!"
"Where is this? It's magnificent!"
"What's that statue? It's so majestic!"
Su Fan looked at the camera and spoke slowly.
"Everyone, I am currently in the Xuanyuan Realm, at the Xuanyuan Temple."
"The statue in front of me is the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan."
The live stream chat exploded instantly.
"Holy crap! The Yellow Emperor?!"
"The progenitor of the Chinese nation?!"
"The Yellow Emperor who unified the Huaxia tribes?!"
"Really?!"
Su Fan nodded.
"real."
He looked at the statue and began to speak.
"The Yellow Emperor, whose surname was Gongsun and given name was Xuanyuan, was born at the end of the Shennong era and grew up on the banks of the Ji River."
"He was extraordinary from birth, able to speak within a few months, intelligent in his childhood, and kind and wise as he grew up."
"At that time, the Shennong clan declined, and the feudal lords invaded each other, causing the people to suffer. Xuanyuan then trained his troops and practiced martial arts to conquer those feudal lords who did not obey him, and all the feudal lords came to submit."
The screen was flooded with comments.
"Go on, boss!"
"I want to hear more!"
Su Fan continued.
"At that time, there was a lord named Chi You, who was extremely fierce and no one could subdue him. Xuanyuan then united the lords and fought against Chi You in the fields of Zhuolu."
"That battle lasted a long time. Chi You could summon wind and rain and create thick fog, causing Xuanyuan's army to lose its way."
"But Xuanyuan invented the compass chariot, which helped him determine directions, and he eventually captured and killed Chiyou."
The comments section was scrolling even faster.
"The compass cart! I know that!"
"The Battle of Zhuolu! It's so famous!"
"The Yellow Emperor was awesome!"
Su Fan smiled and continued.
"After pacifying the world, Xuanyuan was honored as the Son of Heaven by the feudal lords, replacing Shennong and becoming known as the Yellow Emperor."
"He unified the Huaxia tribes, established etiquette, created writing, invented clothing, built palaces, and established a calendar."
"He also led people to invent boats, vehicles, bows and arrows, and houses, enabling people to live a better life."
"He married Leizu, who invented sericulture and silk reeling, enabling people to have clothes to wear."
"He had twenty-five sons, fourteen of whom were given surnames and became the ancestors of many surnames in later generations."
The comments section is going crazy.
"Holy crap! So many of these things were invented by the Yellow Emperor?!"
"The founders of Chinese civilization!"
"These are the true ancestors!"
"I'm kneeling! I'm kneeling!"
Su Fan continued.
"The Yellow Emperor reigned for a hundred years, and the world was at peace. Legend has it that in his later years, a dragon descended from the sky and took him to heaven."
"When he ascended to heaven on a dragon, the people were reluctant to let him go and tried to hold him back by pulling on his clothes. But the dragon flew too fast, and his clothes were torn and fell to the ground."
"The people buried those clothes and built a cenotaph. This is the origin of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum."
Gifts flooded the screen in the live stream room.
Rockets, airplanes, and yachts, densely packed together.
The comments section was so crowded that I couldn't even see them clearly.
"The boss's explanation is excellent!"
"It got my blood pumping!"
"These are our ancestors!"
"Long live China! Long live the Yellow Emperor!"
Su Fan felt a warm feeling in his heart as he looked at the comments and gifts.
He took a deep breath and turned to look at the statue.
"Alright, that concludes the science lesson. Now, it's time to awaken our ancestors."
He walked up to the statue and placed his hand on it.
Golden light surged in from the Investiture of the Gods.
Inside the statue, there was indeed a cloud of black mist.
It was even denser than the one on the body of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.
Su Fan's expression turned cold.
"It's the Blood Fiend God Sealing Technique again."
Houtu Niangniang walked over, and her expression changed when she saw the black mist.
"Such intense resentment. The person who placed the seal must have killed at least three hundred million people."
Su Fan's eyes were icy cold.
"Godhunter, remember this debt."
He took a deep breath and began chanting the incantation.
But this time, he didn't recite those ready-made incantations.
He opened his mouth and said slowly:
"I, the Yellow Emperor, was born by the Ji River."
"Shaodian's son, of the Gongsun clan."
"Intelligent in childhood, wise and discerning in adulthood."
"He was wise and accomplished, succeeding Shennong."
With each word he uttered, the statue trembled a little more.
"Chi You caused chaos and tyrannized the people."
"A great battle unfolds in the fields of Zhuolu."
"On the guide carriage, the fog dissipated."
"Chiyou was captured and killed, and the world was at peace."
The statue began to shake more and more violently.
The golden light grew brighter and brighter.
"The feudal lords revered him, treating him as the Son of Heaven."
He was known as the Yellow Emperor, succeeding Shennong.
"The mountain pass has never been a place of peace and tranquility."
"It extends east to the sea and west to Mount Kongtong."
Golden light shot into the sky.
"Southward to the river, northward to the meat porridge."
"The town was located in Zhuolu, and the people moved around frequently."
"Use soldiers as camps, and clouds as officials."
"The Left and Right Grand Supervisors oversee all nations."
The statue began to glow.
"Ji Fenghou, Li Mu, Chang Xian, Da Hong."
"To govern the people and the world, one must follow the order of heaven and earth."
"The divination of the living and the dead, the theory of life and death."
"In times of crisis, all grains are sown."
Golden light pierced through the main hall and into the sky.
"Purely tamed birds and beasts, surrounded by the sun and moon."
"Water ripples, soil and stones, gold and jade are my principles."
"Work hard and exert yourself, and keep your ears and eyes at ease."
"Water, fire, and wealth are what constitute the virtue of the emperor."
The statue shook violently.
"She married a woman from Xiling, who became known as Leizu."
"Raising silkworms and reeling silk are the beginnings of clothing production."
"Of the twenty-five sons, fourteen received the surname."
"The descendants of the Chinese nation have multiplied from this."
"He ordered Cangjie to create writing, and thus, characters came into being."
"He ordered Ling Lun to compose musical rules, and thus music was created."
"When Da Nao was appointed to the Jiazi year, the calendar system was established."
"The first person to be ordered to perform arithmetic was the one who first came into being."
The golden light grew stronger and stronger, shaking the entire Xuanyuan Realm.
"Boats and carriages were first made, and palaces were first built."
"As the bow and arrow begin to be drawn, so does the building of the house."
When the people are happy and prosperous, the world is at peace.
"He reigned for a hundred years, and his achievements were unparalleled."
Su Fan took a deep breath and read the last sentence:
"In his later years, he possessed a dragon-like appearance, with a long, flowing beard."
"The people flocked to welcome the emperor's ascension to heaven."
"The dragon flew away, the bow fell, and the people looked up to the sky."
"Buried at Qiaoshan, his clothes and hat will live on forever."
"By the Yellow Emperor above, please reveal your true form!"
The last word fell.
The statue shook violently.
A golden light shot into the sky, piercing through the main hall, through the clouds, and straight into the heavens.
Everyone in the entire Xuanyuan Realm saw that golden light.
A figure emerged from the golden light.
He was a middle-aged man dressed in imperial robes, wearing an imperial crown, holding a long sword, and with a dignified face.
His eyes were as deep as the stars.
His aura was as vast as the ocean.
The third level of Dao realm.
The Yellow Emperor.
He looked at Su Fan with eyes full of satisfaction.
"Thank you, Envoy of the Conferred Gods."
Su Fan knelt on the ground and performed a deep bow.
"Su Fan, a descendant of the Chinese people, pays respects to the Yellow Emperor."
Behind him, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden and the Earth Goddess also knelt down to pay their respects.
"Paying respects to the Yellow Emperor."
The Yellow Emperor raised his hand and helped them up.
"Rise. No need for formalities."
He looked at Su Fan with admiration in his eyes.
"What you're reciting is my life story. How do you know so much about it?"
Su Fan smiled.
"It's written in the history books."
The Yellow Emperor was taken aback.
"History books?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. Your deeds have been recorded in history books and passed down from generation to generation. All Chinese people today know you."
The Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan paused for a moment.
Then he smiled.
"Good. Very good. My descendants still remember me."
He looked at the comments in the live stream.
The barrage of comments was densely packed with phrases like "Long live the Yellow Emperor," "Long live China," and "Hello, our ancestors."
As the Yellow Emperor looked at the words, his eyes welled up with tears.
"These are all... my descendants?"
Su Fan nodded.
"Yes. All 1.4 billion Chinese people are your descendants."
The Yellow Emperor took a deep breath.
"1.4 billion...1.4 billion..."
He smiled.
"Okay. Sure."
He looked at Su Fan.
"Envoy of the Gods, I wish to form a contract with you. Are you willing?"
Su Fan nodded.
"I couldn't have gotten it."
A beam of golden light shot towards Su Fan.
Su Fan was startled.
He could feel a tremendous power within him.
The third level of Dao realm.
The Yellow Emperor was more powerful than the Ziwei Emperor.
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"Thank you, Emperor Huangdi."
The Yellow Emperor waved his hand.
"No need for formalities. I will follow you from now on."
He looked around.
"I have stayed in this Xuanyuan Realm for three thousand years. It is time for me to leave."
He raised his hand, and a golden light shot into the depths of the hall.
A sudden tremor came from deep within the main hall.
A figure walked out from inside.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in armor, holding a long halberd, looking imposing.
His aura indicated he was at the first level of the Dao Realm.
An introduction to the Yellow Emperor.
"This is Li Mu, my general."
Li Mu walked up to Su Fan and clasped his hands in a salute.
"Li Mu has met the Envoy of the Conferred Gods."
Su Fan quickly returned the greeting.
"Greetings, General Li Mu."
The Yellow Emperor raised his hand again, and another golden light shone forth.
Another figure stepped out.
He was an elderly man dressed in a scholar's robe, holding bamboo slips, with a refined and scholarly demeanor.
"This is Feng Hou, my prime minister."
After the wind, he bowed.
"Feng Hou has met the Envoy of the Gods."
Su Fan returned the greeting.
"Greetings, Senior Feng Hou."
The Yellow Emperor raised his hand again.
The third golden light.
An old man dressed in coarse cloth came out, holding a rope with a knot in it.
"This is Cangjie, the one who invented writing."
Cangjie looked at Su Fan and smiled.
"Envoy of the Gods, your incantation mentioned me. I am very pleased."
Su Fan quickly bowed.
"Greetings, Senior Cangjie."
Cangjie waved his hand.
"No need for formalities. I also wish to go with you."
Su Fan nodded.
"welcome."
The Yellow Emperor looked at the three people.
"The three of them followed me in conquering the world and made great contributions. Later, they were also sealed into statues along with me and have been sleeping ever since."
Su Fan looked at them.
"Would the three seniors be willing to form a contract with me?"
The three exchanged a glance and nodded.
"willing."
Three golden beams shot towards Su Fan.
Su Fan was startled.
Three more Dao Realm experts have joined.
The first level of Limu Dao realm.
Feng Hou Dao Realm, Level 1.
Cangjie's Dao Realm, Level One.
In addition, the Yellow Emperor's Dao Realm was at its third level.
This trip was incredibly profitable.
The chat room was buzzing with excitement.
"Holy crap! The Yellow Emperor! Limu! Feng Hou! Cangjie!"
"They're all legendary figures!"
"Cangjie invented characters! The one who invented characters!"
"Boss, you've collected all the famous figures from Chinese history!"
"That's awesome!"
"Our progenitor, return to your rightful place!"
Su Fan looked at the comments and smiled.
He looked at the Yellow Emperor.
"Emperor Huangdi, let's go back."
The Yellow Emperor nodded.
"it is good."
……
Wanjian Pavilion.
Su Fan returned ten days later.
This time, he brought back four people.
The Yellow Emperor, Li Mu, Feng Hou, and Cang Jie.
When Jian Wudi saw the Yellow Emperor, he immediately knelt down.
"Junior Jian Wudi pays respects to the Yellow Emperor!"
The Yellow Emperor nodded.
Get up.
Jian Wudi stood up, his legs still trembling.
He looked at Su Fan, his eyes already numb.
The third level of Dao realm.
Another Dao Realm Level 3 expert.
Including the previous Ziwei Emperor and Jiutian Xuannv, Wanjian Pavilion now has two people at the third level of the Dao Realm, two people at the second level of the Dao Realm, and several people at the first level of the Dao Realm.
What kind of strength is this?
It's enough to sweep across all the heavens and myriad realms.
Inside the main hall, the Ziwei Emperor, the Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun, the Gouchen Emperor, the Houtu Niangniang, the Lei Zun, the Doumu Yuanjun, and the Jiutian Xuannv all arrived.
When they saw the Yellow Emperor, they all bowed in respect.
"I have met the Yellow Emperor."
The Yellow Emperor nodded.
"There's no need for such formalities, everyone."
He looked at the Ziwei Emperor.
"Ziwei, it's been a long time."
The Purple Star Emperor smiled.
"Emperor Huangdi, you are still as majestic as ever."
The Yellow Emperor also smiled.
"You too, still so bright."
Everyone laughed.
Su Fan felt a warm feeling in his heart as he watched this scene.
There are more and more Chinese deities.
He looked out the window.
Where is the next world?
……
The chat was still flooded with comments.
"Boss, who's next?"
"expect!"
"All the gods of China have returned!"
Su Fan glanced at the comments and smiled.
He looked at the golden light given by the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
The next world will be called the Yanhuang Realm.
There is a statue there, which is of Emperor Yan.
Shennong.
Another ancestor of the Chinese nation.
Su Fan took a deep breath.
"Next up is Shennong, the Yan Emperor."
