Volume 1: The Way of the Five Elements Chapter 107: Fuxi

  Kong Fang quickly scanned the surroundings, but there was no one else on the entire mountain top except for him. Kong Fang involuntarily walked to the edge of "Eagle's Mouth" and looked down.

  It wasn't until then that Kong realized the place he was standing on was actually a protruding part of the mountain peak, with nothing below. Looking down at other parts of the mountain, trees covered the ground, stretching continuously to the end of his line of sight.

  "Where is this place? How did I suddenly appear here?" Kong Fang's mind was filled with shock and uncertainty.

  Kong Fang remembered very clearly that he was previously on the small island in the core area of Qianlong Lake, watching a black stone monument with the eight trigrams carved on it. Just as his hand touched the eight trigrams on the monument, he came here.

  "It's been forty thousand years." A sudden sigh came from behind, and Kong Fang was startled. Suddenly, there was an extra person behind him, and he hadn't noticed anything at all.

  Kong Fang quickly turned around and looked back, only to see a middle-aged man wearing a black long gown with wise eyes standing behind him.

  "This person suddenly appeared behind me, and I didn't notice at all." Kong Fang knew he had encountered a formidable opponent and couldn't help but be on guard. However, Kong Fang soon discovered something was off - the black-robed middle-aged man said one sentence and then stared blankly into the distance, completely ignoring him who was right in front of his eyes.

  Kong Fang's heart skipped a beat, and his feet involuntarily shifted to one side. The black-robed middle-aged man didn't react at all, his gaze still staring blankly into the distance.

  "Could it be..." Kong Fang had a guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to act rashly. If he was wrong, acting on his thoughts would put him in danger of losing his life.

  Kong Fang dodged to one side and carefully observed this middle-aged man in black who had suddenly appeared.

  Two people stood motionless on the mountain top like two sculptures.

  After a while, the middle-aged man in black robes sighed again and walked to the edge of the mountain peak.

  A middle-aged man in a black robe looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "It's been 40,000 years since I came to this world, I wonder how my hometown is now?"

  Kong Fang's mind was greatly shocked, and his face changed several times in a row.

  "He's not from this world either. Then where did he come from, is it Earth?" Kong Fang clenched his fists tightly, feeling both excited and tense.

  "Following the footsteps of the ancient sages, breaking free from the shackles of the mortal world, I have been in this world for over 40,000 years. But I still can't find those ancient sages, did they not come to this world?" The middle-aged man in black robes shook his head and continued: "This should be the world of gods recorded on the turtle shell and rock walls, but where did those ancient sages who shattered the void go?"

  Although Kong Fang couldn't see the middle-aged man's expression in black robe, he felt a sense of loneliness from his back.

  This is someone just like himself. The only difference being that the other person is searching for what they call the "Ancient Sages", while he himself is searching for a way to return home.

  Although the goals are different, they are the same loneliness and confusion in this world.

  Kong Fang leaned in closer to the middle-aged man in black and ventured to ask, "Senior, what exactly are you? Are you from Earth?"

  As soon as he finished asking the question, Kong Fang's heart started racing wildly, his eyes staring intently at the middle-aged man in black, and his ears listened carefully, afraid of missing a single word.

  But the middle-aged man in black robes seemed to have not heard Kong Fang's words, still gazing into the distance, his body didn't move at all.

  "Could it really be just like I guessed before?" Kong Fang's mind was filled with doubts and uncertainty, slowly approaching the past. Seeing that the black-robed person still had no reaction whatsoever, Kong Fang mustered up his courage to reach out and touch the black-robed person's body.

  There was no obstruction whatsoever, and Kong Fang's hand directly passed through the black-robed person's body.

  Kong Fang suddenly let out a bitter laugh and sat down on the ground with a thud. This was an image left behind by some powerful being, which had excited him for half a day and also worried him for half a day.

  It's just an image, so it can't answer Kong Fang's question. It's also unrealistic for Kong Fang to know where the other party is from.

  Kong Fang sat on the ground, dejected. "It's not easy to find some information related to Earth, but this is just a fragment of an image left by some powerful being. How can I investigate further?" Kong Fang shook his head helplessly.

  I thought I had found a glimmer of hope to return to Earth, but in the end it turned out to be just an illusion. Can only gaze from afar, cannot touch.

  "Call", "Shout"

  The mountain top suddenly blew a gust of wind, and the leaves around it swayed gently, making a "rustling" sound. However, this was just a recorded image at that time, and the wind also appeared at that time, but Kong Fang couldn't feel it at all. Fortunately, Kong Fang could hear the "rustling" sound emitted by the leaves.

  Kong Fang looked around in confusion, finally fixing his gaze on the middle-aged man in black robes who had his back to him.

  At this sight, Kong Fang suddenly jumped up from the ground, his eyes fixed on the right hand of the black-robed middle-aged man, to be precise, staring at the strange pattern on the palm of the black-robed middle-aged man's right hand, because that pattern was exactly the Eight Trigrams.

  The middle-aged man in black robe raised his hand and the Bagua in his hand flew out, flying directly to the forest below the mountain peak.

  A deafeningly loud and terrifying sound suddenly came, and the forest was instantly filled with a sky-high smoke.

  Kong Fang was shocked to find that the entire world seemed to have trembled with this blow, and the great mountain beneath his feet was shaking non-stop. For a moment, the earth cracked, trees fell, and rocks flew through the air. Although it was just an illusion, Kong Fang's heart still couldn't help but tremble at the sight of this apocalyptic scene.

  "This black-robed middle-aged man has reached what realm, one move is actually terrifying like this." Kong Fang's heart was shocked.

  Just then, a flustered and exasperated voice suddenly came from the forest below.

  "Fuxi, you and I have been fighting for three thousand years now. Although I am not your match, I am also not someone you can bully at will. If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll fight with you to the death." A black-armored old man suddenly flew out of the forest, rushing towards this side in a state of urgency and disarray.

  "Fuxi? He, he's actually Fuxi." Kong Fang's eyes suddenly burst out with an astonishing light, "Bagua! Fuxi! So he was the ancestor of ancient human civilization, one of the Five Emperors." Kong Fang clenched his fists together, his face even turned red with excitement.

  "What he said before about breaking free from the shackles of the human world, I suppose the human world refers to Earth. It turns out that Fuxi came to this world by shattering the void, and since there's a way to come here, there must be a way back, as long as I can find Fuxi, I might just find a way back."

  Kong Fang was so excited that he couldn't control himself. Although he had also been thinking of finding a way back to Earth after becoming powerful, Kong Fang was actually confused because he didn't know if becoming stronger would necessarily mean he could find a way back.

  But knowing that the black-robed middle-aged man in front of him was actually Fuxi, Kong Fang's confusion in his heart suddenly cleared up, and he finally found direction and goal.

  "I must become stronger as soon as possible, and then go find Fuxi. As long as I can find him, I can return to that azure star." Kong Fang couldn't help but burst out laughing, at this moment, Kong Fang's mood was clear and bright, giving people a somewhat different feeling.

  Just then, the two super strong men suddenly clashed together, and soon Kong Fang couldn't see anything. Kong Fang could only feel that the mountain peak under his feet was collapsing, and the earth was making a series of unbearable cracking sounds. However, Kong Fang did not fall with the collapsing mountain peak, but instead floated in mid-air.

  It's clear that the mountain peaks aren't real either, but are part of an illusory image. It's just that Kong Fang hadn't focused his mind on the mountain peaks before, and since he can move freely in mid-air, he didn't discover this point.

  As if the entire world was crumbling down, Kong Fang felt an irresistible force of terror suddenly acting on him, sending him directly out of this strange space.

  "Hū", in front of the black stone monument, Kong Fang suddenly opened his eyes.

  He found his hand was shaken off from the Bagua pattern by a force, and Kong Fang suddenly realized in his heart, "It turned out that I just entered that strange space with my consciousness earlier."

  "Kong Fang, did you just realize something?" The half-blooded dragon asked with some embarrassment, and also a hint of envy.

  It had been with this black stone monument for tens of thousands of years, but it hadn't gained anything from it. Kong Fang was the first to gain something from it just by touching it.

  Kong Fang smiled and shook his head, "I haven't realized anything, I just got some information." Although he didn't realize anything, Kong Fang was still very happy in his heart.

  Because he found his goal for now, that is to quickly improve his strength and then go out to find the ancestor of human civilization - Fuxi.
