Zhang Fei - The Abandoned Son

Chapter 1246: Yin Yue’s Explanations

”Senior, if the two primordial beasts still exist, where do they live now? Why haven’t we heard of their existence?” Sima Yun asked.

Hua Mei’er, who had previously distanced herself from them, immediately returned to Wan Jiang’s side. She was curious about the Primordial Genesis Beast and the Primordial Nihility Beast.

Yin Yue shook her head slightly. ”To tell you the truth, I have never met the two primordial beasts, but there were many stories about them in the ancient realm in the past, and the source was the two dragons that lived during my era.”

”Two dragons?”

”The first dragon is the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon.” Huang Xiaoyi and the other three were shocked, and they immediately thought of Long Wuzhao. However, Yin Yue’s next words dismissed their thoughts. ”I am referring to the golden dragon that existed in my era, not the golden dragon from this era. Back then, he was the reincarnation of the golden dragon that lived in the primordial era, and he regained his past memories after he regained his past strength.”

”What is the second dragon, Senior?” Hua Mei’er curiously asked.

Huang Xiaoyi turned to Zhang Fei [5]. ”Is that dragon you, son?”

”Yes.” Zhang Fei [5] transformed into his Calamity Demon Dragon form, but he made his body small, or else that place wouldn’t be fit to accommodate his true dragon form.

Sima Yun and Hua Mei’er fell into a daze after they saw Zhang Fei [5]’s Calamity Demon Dragon form. They knew that he was a heavenly fox, but they had never known that he was also a Calamity Demon Dragon because he had never come to the Star Tower after he got his fourth identity.

”What kind of dragon is this?” Wan Jiang observed Zhang Fei [5].

”The Calamity Demon Dragon.” Huang Xiaoyi and Yin Yue answered him at the same time.

After Zhang Fei [5] returned to his human form, Yin Yue continued her explanation. ”Just like the Primordial Genesis Beast and the Primordial Nihility Beast, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and the Calamity Demon Dragon represent Yang and Yin, but the two primordial beasts killed them. The two primordial beasts were superior to the two dragons, but they felt threatened by their existence.”

”What about the two dragons that lived in the ancient era, Senior?” Sima Yun asked.

”They died.” Yin Yue released a soft sigh. ”Just like the ten-tailed fox and the two primordial beasts, the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon and the Calamity Demon Dragon can only exist one at a time in this universe. The two primordial beasts sent their avatars to the Ancient Realm, and they killed both dragons.”

”You mean—”

”Yes.” Yin Yue nodded at them. ”I don’t understand why the two primordial beasts haven’t attacked this realm yet, but the existence of the two dragons from this era is a threat to this realm and all its inhabitants. I don’t know when they will attack here, but I’m sure they will send their avatars to kill the two dragons someday. The two dragons are indeed powerful after they regain their past strength, but they will never be a match for the two primordial beasts.”

Yin Yue’s explanation made Huang Xiaoyi and the other three’s expressions turn grim. They knew Long Wuzhao was extremely powerful, and he was the strongest in their realm, but she said that he was not the opponent of the two primordial beasts.

Yin Yue embraced Zhang Fei [5] and continued. ”The only one who can fight the two primordials is the ten-tailed fox, but he no longer exists in this universe. This kid is his successor, and he is our only hope of stopping the two beasts. However, he is still too weak now, and he needs the help of many people to strengthen himself. Therefore, you guys should leave trivial matters like controlling this tower behind, and you should focus on yourselves. This way, you guys can fight alongside him to fight against them in the future, or this realm will be destroyed.”

”Was the ancient realm destroyed when the two primordial beasts attacked it in the past, Senior?”

”Haha.” Yin Yue laughed softly. ”The ancient races were much stronger than the people from this realm, okay? Moreover, we had Guang Zhiyi and Hu Tianlang at the time, and their strength far surpassed your imagination. Back then, the two primordial beasts sent their avatars to our realm to kill the two dragons, but they couldn’t create chaos there because of their presence. After they succeeded in killing the two dragons, their avatars immediately disappeared again.”

Huang Xiaoyi then asked her. ”If Guang Zhiyi and Hu Tianlang were that powerful in the past, why didn’t they stop the avatars of the two primordial beasts from killing the two dragons?”

”This.” All of them were shocked again after several chains appeared on Yin Yue’s soul. ”At first, I didn’t know anything about these chains, but someone explained them to me and taught me to make them appear. Nobody knew about the origins of these chains, but he said that they were seals, restrictions, or whatever you want to call them. They exist within the souls of all living beings, including the four of you. They limit us with unwritten rules, and no one has ever managed to break free from them.”

Huang Xiaoyi and the others seriously observed those chains, and Yin Yue stopped Hua Mei’er when she was about to touch them. ”So, what you’re saying is that these chains prevented Guang Zhiyi and Hu Tianlang from saving the two dragons from the two primordial beasts in the past, right?”

”That’s right.” Yin Yue made the chains disappear again.

Zhang Fei [5] then spoke to them. ”For the past two decades, I’ve learned many more things, but some new things bother me. I still don’t know for sure why the old fox chose to sacrifice himself, as he hasn’t explained the details to me. However, I fully understand Feng Yao’s intention to reincarnate multiple times, which is because she wants to free herself from the chains. As long as these chains are inside her soul, she will never be able to become a free person, and they will restrain her for the rest of her life. Unfortunately, she hasn’t managed to do it, but she says that she has found a solution for it.”

”What’s the solution?”

Zhang Fei [5] responded with a shake of the head. ”Feng Yao has always been secretive with me, so she wasn’t willing to tell me the truth, and she asked me to wait until my cultivation reached the Celestial God Realm first.”

”Does that mean her cultivation has reached that stage now?” Huang Xiaoyi asked with raised eyebrows.

”Yes.” Zhang Fei [5] confirmed it with a single nod. ”I still don’t know much about the Ancient Realm, but no cultivator in the Paradise Realm can match Feng Yao. Currently, she is the strongest cultivator, and the only person who can match her is Huo Ling, especially since she is the embodiment of the Eternal Flame. Their knowledge and experience far surpass the inhabitants of this realm because they have lived for too long, but they cannot reveal too many things to others due to the restrictions of the chains within their souls.”

”So, what should we do now?”

Zhang Fei [5] shook his head at them. ”There is nothing we can do but focus on our strength, and we must strive hard to reach the Celestial God Realm as soon as possible. Some of you have already reached the Celestial Venerable Realm, so your journey to reach that stage is several steps closer. As for me and the others, our journey is still very long, so I don’t want to deal with those trivial matters. My main focus is to collect all the remaining souls of the old fox and merge them with mine; after I manage to gather them all, I will go to the Illusion Spirit Fox Domain.”

”The Illusion Spirit Fox Domain?” Wan Jiang was surprised to hear that. ”I’ve heard about the existence of that domain, which is home to the first fox born in this universe: the ten-tailed fox. Back then, he saved all the fox races and brought them to live there, but the domain disappeared along with his death, and no one has ever managed to find it to this day.”

”Haha.” Zhang Fei [5] softly laughed. ”Old man, that domain still exists today, but several powerful formation arrays seal it, making it invisible to outsiders. Actually, I already have a way to find and enter that domain, but I can’t do it now, and I must find the remaining souls of the old fox first. One is in the Floral Mirage Domain, and the other is in the Slaughter Blood Domain. Since I can’t go to the first one, I will go to the last one first.”

”Hmm?” Wan Jiang and Huang Xiaoyi frowned after hearing that.

Zhang Fei [5] hurriedly transformed into an asura demon, surprising them. ”I can transform myself into a fairy, but I can’t transform my aura into one of them. The case is different if I transform myself into another demon, and as you can feel for yourself, my aura is no different from that of a member of the asura demon.”

”That’s true.” Wan Jiang nodded in agreement. ”I’ve fought with members of the asura demon in the past, and your aura is exactly the same as theirs, so they shouldn’t be able to see through your disguise.”
