#1023 - Fuxi Visits Heaven
Suddenly, a figure appeared before them, startling the Yama King and Mount Tai King.
“Who dares to trespass in the Heavenly Court!”
They both summoned their magical weapons, but with their current cultivation, they felt somewhat lacking in confidence.
Having been stripped of their divine positions and possessing unremarkable aptitude for reincarnation, even with the benefits of the Kunlun Mirror, they had only reached the Upper God realm.
Most of the gods of old, save for a select few, had been left far behind by the tides of time.
After all, Qin Changqing's descendants were all exceptionally talented.
However, when they clearly saw the person before them, they were both stunned: “Celestial Venerable Fuxi!”
The Yama King and Mount Tai King wore bitter smiles: “It’s a long story, Celestial Venerable Fuxi. Where have you been all these years? Goddess Nüwa has been searching for you!”
Fuxi's eyes twitched slightly at the mention of Nüwa's name, but he quickly regained his composure and nodded: “It is a long story. Where is Nüwa now?”
The Yama King and Mount Tai King gestured behind them: “She’s probably in the Nüwa Palace… or perhaps in His Majesty’s Hall of Universal Brightness, or maybe even in the Jade Pool!”
Fuxi frowned, feeling that these two were rather unreliable.
He had no interest in wasting time with them, waved his hand, and flew into the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Naturally, the Yama King and Mount Tai King did not stop him.
Fuxi and Nüwa were siblings, and Nüwa was His Majesty's woman, making Fuxi His Majesty's brother-in-law. How could they stop him?
Moreover, Fuxi's return was a good thing, adding another high-end combat force to the Heavenly Court.
“Celestial Venerable Fuxi has been missing for so many years, why has he suddenly returned? And the Heavenly Court has been sealed off, yet Celestial Venerable Fuxi was able to find it and appear directly at the Southern Heavenly Gate. It seems Fuxi has had some significant opportunities over the years!”
The Yama King watched Fuxi's disappearing figure, lost in thought.
The Mount Tai King took out a communication talisman and reported Fuxi's return.
Traveling through the vast sea of clouds, Fuxi's expression was somewhat complex.
The last time he came to the Heavenly Court was countless years ago, before the great calamity had begun, and the Heavenly Court did not seem so prosperous.
Today's Heavenly Court had undergone a great transformation, with many more divine halls and residences, and a greater sense of liveliness.
The first impression of the Heavenly Court used to be its ethereal nature, and the second was its coldness.
This applied not only to the environment but also to the way the gods interacted with each other.
In the past, coming to the Heavenly Court meant exchanging pleasantries at most, and those with slightly closer relationships would sit together and discuss the Dao. They rarely talked about anything else.
For the gods, they had experienced far too much, and their cultivation was high. Although it was an exaggeration to say they were without desires, most of them lacked human touch and were unwilling to interact with other gods. Retreating to cultivate was the norm.
But now, Fuxi saw many people chasing and playing around in mid-air, and some were even casually gathering on the roof of a palace, watching strange things.
This scene made Fuxi feel dazed, as if he were not in the Heavenly Court but in the mortal realm.
Just as Fuxi was lost in thought, a loud roar suddenly came from not far away: “Howling Celestial Dog, you little beast! Put down my Meimei right now, or I'll break your dog legs!”
Fuxi looked down in astonishment.
He saw a streak of black light rapidly flying towards him.
Behind the black light, a man with a rooster comb hairstyle and wearing a Taoist robe was chasing angrily.
However, the cultivation levels of the two were clearly not the same. The black light was incredibly fast but had a cat-and-mouse feel, pausing slightly from time to time, shaking its head, wagging its tail, and looking back with a somewhat lewd smile.
The black light did not seem to notice anyone ahead and crashed straight into him.
Fuxi reached out and pressed down, directly grabbing the black light in mid-air.
The black light immediately revealed its true form, a fluffy, cute little black dog with a brightly colored… chicken in its mouth!
Fuxi was somewhat stunned, looking up and down at the black dog, hesitating: “Howling Celestial Dog?”
In his memory, the Howling Celestial Dog's cultivation was only around the Upper God level. Even after so many years, it should not have grown so quickly. Now, it had actually reached the peak of God-Monarch!
The Howling Celestial Dog was also startled, looked at Fuxi, and opened its mouth in surprise, dropping the chicken.
The colorful feathered divine chicken seemed to be frightened as well. As soon as it was free, it hurriedly flapped its wings and flew towards the man behind it.
Seeing the chicken that was about to be eaten escape, the Howling Celestial Dog was immediately anxious, but it was being held tightly by Fuxi and could not move, revealing a pitiful look.
The figure behind had already caught up, scooped the colorful feathered divine chicken into his arms, breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed to Fuxi: “Thank you, Daoist friend, for your help. This vicious dog is truly hateful, repeatedly trying to prey on my Meimei. It’s simply outrageous!”
He sized Fuxi up and down, discovering that he was a completely unfamiliar face, and couldn't help but ask curiously: “May I ask who you are, Daoist friend?”
When did the Heavenly Court get a new person?
The current Heavenly Court not only relied on Qin Changqing to give birth to offspring but also periodically recruited exceptionally talented geniuses from various realms. It was normal to see some unfamiliar faces.
However, this unfamiliar face seemed to have too high a level of strength. It was impossible to see his true cultivation.
Fuxi did not explain, lifted the Howling Celestial Dog in his hand, and asked with a smile: “After so many years, your little dog is still hard to tame. Could it be that Yang Jian died in that great calamity?”
Hearing Fuxi curse his master, the Howling Celestial Dog bared its teeth, feeling dissatisfied, but did not dare to say it out loud, sullenly saying: “My master is doing very well, and he is still the Judicial God of the Heavenly Court! Celestial Venerable Fuxi, when did you return?”
Although the Howling Celestial Dog's cultivation and position were not high, it had seen a lot of the world with Yang Jian.
It had seen almost all of the old-guard deities and Celestial Venerables back then.
Celestial Venerable Fuxi smiled, grabbed the Howling Celestial Dog, and threw it directly to the other side: “You are clearly a divine beast, but your mouth is still so greedy. You deserve some punishment. Daoist friend, I'll leave it to you to deal with. If you're not afraid of Yang Jian, you can stew it!”
“You dare!”
Hearing these words, the Howling Celestial Dog could no longer sit still and shouted sharply: “Chicken Celestial Lord, if you dare to touch me, my master will definitely not let you off!”
