Chapter 11

On the other side, watching the disappearance of the Primordial Ancestor Dragon, Xiao Chen finally came to his senses from the earlier shock, for a moment.

He was not shocked by the disappearance of the Primordial Ancestor Dragon; after all, he had long known that the other had perished countless ages ago, and now only a trace of its spiritual imprint remained in the Purple Jade Bracelet.

What shocked Xiao Chen was the towering figure he had just seen in the Yellow Mud Altar; that image was too familiar.

"Human body, dragon tail."

"The appearance of the legendary ancient sage emperor."

"And you still say you are not Fuxi?"

Countless thoughts surfaced in Xiao Chen's mind, giving him the illusion of walking into the river of time and stepping into ancient history.

Is this a secret that a minor cultivator like him could know?

Hum—

As Xiao Chen's thoughts surged, Feng Yi gestured, and the myriad arrangements of yin-yang lines forming the primordial hexagrams that enveloped the courtyard began to shift.

Then, all the hexagrams flowed like water, returning to the Yellow Mud Altar and merging into the Yin-Yang Bagua diagram.

In an instant, the whole courtyard broke free from that special state, as if returning once more to the space between heaven and earth.

After doing all that, Feng Yi stored the Yellow Mud Altar within himself and walked up to Xiao Chen.

Seeing his dazed appearance, Feng Yi waved his hand and said softly, "Brother Xiao, it's over; come back to your senses!"

"Ah!"

Startled by the sound beside his ear, Xiao Chen instinctively looked at the figure before him, his eyes unconsciously showing a hint of reverence, and for a moment he didn't know how to address him.

This great figure is likely the human ancestor Fuxi, the forefather of the Kyushu human race!

Thinking this, Xiao Chen hastily performed a great salute and said respectfully, "Junior Xiao Chen greets the human ancestor Fuxi; earlier, junior did not know the ancestor's true identity and was rude; I hope the ancestor will not blame me!"

"Er"

Seeing Xiao Chen's reverent demeanor, Feng Yi couldn't help but feel speechless.

I didn't expect that I hadn't yet hoodwinked the other experts of Kyushu, but I had already hoodwinked this destined protagonist.

Feng Yi lightly shook his head, then casually flicked his wrist, sending a gentle force that lifted Xiao Chen up.

"Brother Xiao, you have mistaken the person."

Facing his somewhat doubtful gaze, Feng Yi spoke calmly: "I just told the Primordial Ancestor Dragon senior that I am merely a minor cultivator named Feng Yi, not the human ancestor Fuxi, so there's no need for such ceremony."

"This"

Hearing Feng Yi's words, Xiao Chen was first stunned.

Could it be that I really mistook the person?

But then, recalling how the mighty Primordial Ancestor Dragon treated him, the ancient sage emperor's image in the Yellow Mud Altar, his name, and his mastery of divination and deduction—all too coincidental—Xiao Chen instantly overturned that thought.

No, he is definitely the human ancestor Fuxi.

"Could it be?"

Xiao Chen suddenly recalled the other's current cultivation, the story he had once told about powerful beings' reincarnation, and the recent mention of a possible Kyushu enemy from another world, and instantly understood something.

"So that's how it is!"

Xiao Chen, with an expression of understanding, performed another respectful salute and said, "Ancestor, rest assured, I have understood and will keep it secret!"

"You understand?"

"What do you understand?"

Feng Yi froze, then felt the other's mental fluctuation, and his mouth twitched involuntarily.

You're quite good at filling in the blanks.

Forget it, think what you like.

He lightly shook his head, no longer dwelling on it, after all it wasn't a big deal.

At least he himself never admitted to being Fuxi; he couldn't control what others thought.

Feng Yi casually handed over the Purple Jade Bracelet and said, "This is your family's heirloom; now it returns to its rightful owner. It contains not only a trace of the Primordial Ancestor Dragon's spiritual imprint, bearing her inheritance, but also is a part of the Kyushu seal—do not lose it."

"Also."

Saying this, Feng Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't call me human ancestor; I said I am merely Feng Yi now, not Fuxi, so keep using the original form of address."

"This"

Instinctively taking the Purple Jade Bracelet, Xiao Chen's face tightened, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Yes, Brother Feng."

"Hmm."

Feng Yi nodded.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen no longer dwelled on it; after so long together, he had realized that Brother Feng wasn't too particular about minor details.

Looking at the Purple Jade Bracelet in his hand, he pondered and said, "Brother Feng, since this bracelet is so important, perhaps you should keep it."

If it were merely a treasure, that would be fine, but now it seems the secrets hidden in Kyushu are far more than I imagined, and there even appears to be a formidable enemy from another world.

And this family heirloom of mine seems tied to Kyushu's fate; if I were to lose it, I would become a sinner of Kyushu!

Although he is not a selfless person, Xiao Chen still harbors Kyushu in his heart and can distinguish right from wrong.

"No need."

Feng Yi casually waved his hand, speaking with a hint of leisure: "This is your ancestral heirloom and also part of the Ancestral Dragon Village; it should be overseen by you, a person of the Ancestral Dragon Village."

"Don't forget what I told you, Brother Xiao—you are this era's Child of Destiny, the future protagonist; this Purple Jade Bracelet is fated to be with you, otherwise it wouldn't have become your family heirloom!"

"Human ancestor, Brother Feng is joking; what merit or ability do I have?"

However, though he said that, hearing those words again, Xiao Chen's feeling was completely different from before.

Before, he didn't know Brother Feng's true identity, merely thinking he was teasing him.

But now, having guessed his true identity as the legendary human ancestor Fuxi, the source of the Yi Dao, the patriarch of divination and deduction, could it be that he has already seen through Xiao Chen's future destiny, and his words are all true?

"Am I really the future protagonist?"

This thought popped into his mind, Xiao Chen couldn't help but be startled, and afterwards he also felt a bit light-headed.

This is recognition from the ancient ancestor Fuxi, progenitor of humanity!

Absolutely authentic!

After his thoughts turned, after a while Xiao Chen finally came to his senses, quickly restrained the thought in his mind, lifted the purple jade bracelet, and said: "Brother Feng, you should keep it, just in case".

Looking at Xiao Chen's expression, Feng Yi comforted: "Don't worry, Brother Xiao, no need to be overly concerned; this purple jade bracelet actually contains a trace of the Primordial Ancestor Dragon's spiritual imprint, and there is a deep karmic connection with Ancestral Dragon Village; even if it is truly lost, it will eventually coincidentally return to Ancestral Dragon Village."

After saying that, Feng Yi no longer paid him any attention, turned his body and looked toward the distant heavens and earth; this purple jade bracelet is of no further use to him.

Even if we step back ten thousand steps, if it is truly needed in the future, we can just borrow it again from Xiao Chen.
