Chapter 89: The Human Emperor Descends, Xuandu Arrives
Nuwa personally led Fuxi to the Netherworld. Because of Xuan Chu's instructions, Houtu did not make things too difficult for Nuwa and Fuxi. After Fuxi drank the Forgetfulness Soup, he entered the cycle of reincarnation.
Five hundred years later, a man named Hua Xu from the Feng Gun tribe of the human race accidentally entered the Thunder Swamp while traveling. He saw a huge footprint and, on a whim, stepped on it and hopped around on it several times before finally stopping.
What Hua Xu didn't know was that the moment her foot touched the large footprint, a stream of spiritual energy silently entered her stomach. Hua Xu shuddered, and just like that, a small life began to grow inside her.
At first, Hua Xu was unaware that she was pregnant. After playing in Leize for a while, she returned to the Fenggun tribe. Not long after returning to the Fenggun tribe, Hua Xu discovered that she was pregnant. This puzzled Hua Xu greatly. She had not been with anyone, so how could she be pregnant for no reason?
However, Hua Xu did not tell anyone about this suspicious point. After learning that Hua Xu was pregnant, the people of the Feng Gun tribe, including Hua Xu's parents, did not pay too much attention to it, because at this time, human ethics were still undefined. Many human children were born on a whim by human women, and a considerable number of them did not even know who their fathers were.
Gradually, the people of the Fenggun tribe began to have a different opinion about the child in Huaxu's womb. Ordinary human children are usually born after ten months of pregnancy, but Huaxu's womb remained unchanged for three whole years. However, at this time, people's attitude towards Huaxu did not change. They still thought that the child in Huaxu's womb was a result of a union with the human witch tribe. As everyone knows, human witches need to be pregnant for three years before giving birth.
But as time went by, Hua Xu had been pregnant for a full ten years. The people of the Feng Gun tribe were no longer calm. Rumors spread throughout the tribe, with many saying that the child in Hua Xu's belly was a monster that would bring disaster to the entire Feng Gun tribe. After all, they had never seen a child who had been pregnant for ten years without being born.
As the saying goes, "three men can make a tiger," and the rumors spread so far that even the surrounding tribes knew about them. So they all went to the Fenggun tribe, hoping that the Fenggun tribe could kill Huaxu and the child in her womb together, so as to prevent the birth of a monster that would bring disaster to the entire human race.
The attitude of the tribesmen terrified Huaxu. Huaxu's parents loved their daughter dearly and, in order to prevent her from being harmed, they resolutely chose to leave the Fenggun tribe and hide with Huaxu in the deep mountains.
One day, Hua Xu felt a series of sharp pains in her abdomen. Hua Xu's mother, who had experience with childbirth, immediately realized that Hua Xu was about to give birth, so she quickly helped Hua Xu deliver the baby.
Several hours later, with her mother's help, Hua Xu finally gave birth to her child.
At the very moment this child was born, purple clouds rose from the east, a fragrant aroma filled the air, and radiant light filled the sky. Faintly, the sounds of dragons roaring and phoenixes singing could be heard, giving one's heart a jolt.
The moment the extraordinary phenomenon appeared, all the sages of the heavens knew that the Human Emperor had been born.
Inside the Pangu Palace, Xuan Chu looked at the Kongtong Seal in his hand, which was humming loudly, and sighed, "The birth of the Human Emperor is indeed extraordinary. The Pangu Palace is isolated from the Heavenly Dao, but the Kongtong Seal can still sense the birth of the Human Emperor. The human race is truly blessed by heaven."
The Pangu Palace is formed from the heart of Pangu, and it is isolated from the secrets of heaven. Even the Great Dao cannot know anything about the Pangu Palace without paying a price. However, even in such a place, the birth of the Human Emperor can still be sensed, which shows how prosperous the human race is.
In the chaos, in the Purple Cloud Palace, Hongjun also sensed the birth of the Human Emperor and murmured with a smile, "The birth of the Human Emperor marks the beginning of an era of great prosperity for the human race."
Shouyang Mountain, Bajing Palace
The Supreme Emperor, who had been waiting for the birth of the Human Emperor, summoned Xuandu immediately upon seeing the strange phenomenon in the sky.
Taishang said to Xuandu, "Xuandu, the Human Emperor has been born. You must immediately go to the Fenggun tribe to take him under your wing and teach him well. Your opportunity has arrived."
"Disciple obeys the decree!" Xuandu replied, then left Shouyang Mountain and headed to the Fenggun tribe to find the newly born Human Emperor.
Meanwhile, in a deep mountain near the Fenggun tribe, Huaxu tightly held her child, warily watching the tribespeople who surrounded them. The moment the strange phenomenon appeared, the people of the Fenggun tribe found Huaxu, guided by the phenomenon.
Hua Xu was very worried that her people would harm her children. Her eyes were filled with vigilance and pleading. Just when Hua Xu was at a loss, Xuan Du descended from the sky.
Looking at Xuan Du's otherworldly appearance, Chief Feng Gun of the Feng Gun tribe knew he was a highly accomplished immortal. He respectfully said, "Chief Feng Gun of the Feng Gun tribe greets the immortal. May I ask where you come from?"
Although the Fenggun tribe is one of the three thousand major tribes of the human race, it was established by the Fenggun clan, one of the three thousand innate human races in the past. Unfortunately, during the great calamity of the human race, the first generation of the Fenggun clan was killed by the demon race for protecting the human race. Moreover, the descendants were incompetent. This generation of the Fenggun clan only has the cultivation level of a celestial immortal. This is only because the human race has become the protagonist of heaven and earth and its fortune has greatly increased. Otherwise, it would be difficult to even become an earth immortal. Therefore, the Fenggun clan does not know Xuandu.
Xuan Du smiled and said, "I am Xuan Du, the disciple of the leader of the Human Sect and the Supreme Celestial Venerable Taiqing. I have come here on the orders of my master, the Supreme Celestial Venerable Taiqing, to take this child as my disciple and have him cultivate under the tutelage of my Human Sect in the future."
"So it's Grand Master Xuandu. Feng Gun greets Grand Master Xuandu." Although Feng Gun had never met Xuandu, Xuandu's name was known to everyone in the human race. Born of human race, he was able to become a disciple of a sage and become the chief disciple of the Human Sect. He was definitely a prodigy of the human race. It's just a pity that since joining the Human Sect, Xuandu has hardly appeared in the human race except to spread the teachings and has not made much contribution to the human race. Otherwise, Xuandu's prestige among the human race would probably be no less than that of the three ancestors of the human race.
"Even the Grand Master Xuandu has personally come to accept a disciple, and he did so on the orders of the Supreme Celestial Venerable of Morality and Law. Does that mean Hua Xu's child isn't a monster?"
"Nonsense! Grand Master Xuandu is a disciple of a sage, and how could the Supreme Lord of Morality and Law, a sage himself, possibly take a prodigy as his disciple? This child is definitely not a prodigy; he might even be a future sage of our human race."
The group of humans whispered among themselves and eventually came to a conclusion: Hua Xu's child was not the monster they had imagined.
Xuandu's arrival gave Huaxu hope in her despair. Holding her child, Huaxu walked up to Xuandu and cautiously asked, "Grand Master Xuandu, my child isn't a demon, is he?"
"Hahaha!" Hearing Hua Xu's words, Xuan Du laughed and said, "The purple aura coming from the east, the fragrant aroma, and the radiant glow—how could such extraordinary celestial phenomena be brought about by a mere demon? Rest assured, your child is not only not a demon, but also a future sage of the human race. Perhaps he will even have the opportunity to become the ruler of the human race in the future."
"Waaah!" Upon hearing this, Hua Xu wept with joy, looking at the child in her arms, and said, "Child, did you hear that? You are not a monster, you are the future sage of the human race."
At this moment, Hua Xu's years of grievances were released. Over the years, the people in the tribe regarded the child in her womb as a monster. In order to protect the child, Hua Xu did not hesitate to flee the Feng Gun tribe and hide in the deep mountains. Heaven knows how much grievance Hua Xu suffered over the years. Now, her suffering has finally come to an end.
The child in Huaxu's arms seemed to sense Huaxu's joy and revealed a sweet and lovely smile.
