Chapter 1478: Chapter 205: Eyes at the Back of the Head

Faced with Da Zhe’s subtle movements, Heihun Fuxi slowly smiled, “Little fellow, what… are you afraid that I will eat you here?”

Da Zhe relaxed, shrugged, and said, “Afraid, of course, but it seems there’s no use in being afraid… Plus, if you really wanted to eat me, I probably wouldn’t have had any chance to resist the moment I stepped in, right? No, it should be when I passed through the Light Gate, I likely had no opportunity at all… Senior, the Light Gate I entered, should have some scanning function, right? It’s you who secretly helped me pass smoothly.”

Heihun Fuxi waved his hand, saying indifferently, “It seems the new boss used the highest grade of the [Source of the Heterogeneous] to create you, not without reason.”

— You probably don’t know, Boss Luo actually had no concept of the [Source of the Heterogeneous] back then, and used such a quantity without any pressure just by waving his hand. As for the maid, she turned a blind eye to such spendthrift behavior by her master…

Da Zhe shook his head secretly… He himself was not as excellent as Heihun Fuxi imagined, which is why he later had to keep hacking monsters and leveling up in the dimensional gap—while incidentally bringing back some materials to replenish the material library.

“I guess I met a Noble when I went out, and I have relatively good luck.” Da Zhe said casually.

“Good disposition, just that you still can’t let go of some obsessions.” Heihun Fuxi suddenly said, “That’s why you’re still stuck on the last step, unable to achieve the ultimate transformation… But don’t worry, after all, you’re still considered young, how long has it been since you became a Black Soul? Three hundred years? Two hundred years?”

— About half a year…

“Let’s consider it three hundred years…”

Heihun Fuxi nodded, “Time is relatively chaotic now, and I merely speculated using the Bagua Plate, knowing that you’ve only recently transformed… But three hundred years is indeed quite short, for you to achieve such feats is indeed rare.”

Three hundred years is indeed short—Does Senior have some misunderstanding about time…

“Overpraised…” Da Zhe cupped his fists, carrying the air of the martial world.

Heihun Fuxi said, “Don’t worry, I have no interest in eating you… For us [Origin] level Black Souls, simply devouring Black Souls below the [Origin] level doesn’t significantly enhance ourselves, at most it’s just about seizing their merit points… but in fact, what Black Soul that becomes [Origin] level would lack merit? So rest assured!”

— That implies that once I become [Origin] level, I might become your prey, right?

Da Zhe glanced at Heihun Fuxi, but saw the other party looking at him sincerely, smiling, causing a shiver in his heart… he remained wary, thinking that if the other party did intend to do something to him, he would just fight his way out—if he couldn’t escape, then he’d self-destruct, and resurrect through the Covenant Chest.

The boss should resurrect him… probably.

“Senior, was this Transcender Organization established before you woke up or after?” Da Zhe immediately asked something else.

Heihun Fuxi wasn’t surprised by Da Zhe’s question, and said, “The last great war of the old era left the population of strong individuals in the gap dwindling. After the war, time and space were turbulent, and the newborn strong lost their direction in the original Sub-world… To rejuvenate the dimensional gap once more, indeed there was an intention for cultivation by the [Holy Ground]. However, the person tasked to execute this wasn’t me, I was on vacation. When I woke up, I was already in this organization… In fact, I haven’t seen all of the [Thrones] within it, knowing initially it was indeed someone leading this effort. Moreover, in the gap, the organizations similar to the Transcenders are not just one… To my knowledge, there’s also one called the [Secret Council], and another [Gate of Truth], both were led by someone at the start.”

“The [Secret Council]… [Gate of Truth]?” Da Zhe’s curiosity grew.

But Heihun Fuxi said calmly, “These two organizations are very low-key, they hardly operate in the gap. The [Secret Council] is just like its name, its members act in secrecy, silently exploring the path of The Origin… As for the [Gate of Truth], it’s somewhat peculiar, its members scattered in various Sub-worlds, seemingly seeking a reverse path.”

“What is the reverse path?” Da Zhe blinked.

Heihun Fuxi slowly said, “If you don’t advance, you retreat, forward is the end, backward is the origin… the end is the origin.”

Da Zhe shook his head, indicating he didn’t understand, but he remembered it silently… but at the same time, by Heihun Fuxi’s recount, he thought of another thing, “Senior, now you’ve awakened and are one of the Thrones of this Transcender Organization… are you planning to keep being this Throne in the future?”

“Why not?” Heihun Fuxi smiled, “Within the Transcender Organization are the Transcendents promoted from various Sub-worlds, they are like gems selected from thousands… What is the nature of Black Soul? Am I not already in the treasure mountain.”

“That’s true… seems I asked a stupid question.” Da Zhe smiled bitterly.

This Heihun Fuxi clearly is reluctant to return from the farm, right… when there’s a need for performance, just grab someone in the Transcender Organization, and there’s a good client…

Heihun Fuxi said, “Don’t sell yourself short, three hundred years’ time is not enough for you to see the essence of Black Soul… but this is not something to rush, once you advance to [Origin] level, your vision will naturally be different, you naturally won’t care about people in the Sub-world then.”

Da Zhe smiled without saying anything… three hundred years might be extremely short for Heihun Fuxi, but for him now, not to mention three hundred years, even three years is long… if his vision can’t keep up, so be it, after all, he never had so-called grand ambitions.

“So, since you are not here to urge me to return… why did you enter the gap this time?”

Heihun Fuxi finally posed this question—Da Zhe had expected this question, and had already prepared an answer, “Actually, it’s nothing major, mainly here for honing myself… the Void Primordial Demons here are good opponents, fighting them allows me to improve faster.”

Heihun Fuxi nodded and said, “The [Source of the Heterogeneous] is extracted from the Void Primordial Demons, equivalent to the essence of the Primordial Demons. Since our Dark Soul Body uses the [Source of the Heterogeneous] as a foundation, fighting Primordial Demons stimulates the activity of the [Source of the Heterogeneous], thus having a good effect on simply enhancing abilities.”

Da Zhe couldn’t help but be stunned… So there was this layer of reasoning behind it? No wonder at the beginning, he was thrown here to cut little monsters to level up—it turns out this place is truly a leveling up treasure ground?

“Let’s do it this way.” Heihun Fuxi at this moment waved his hand, and a bright light shot into Da Zhe’s presence.

It turned out to be an oval badge, with a Yin Yang Fish on the front and a Bagua diagram on the back, “This is my token, the Beastfighting Arena in the Palace of Eternal Night still has some leftover Primordial Demons, if you need them, take this to the Beastfighting Arena… Musashi knows what to do.”

In the beginning, the aim of joining the Throne was somewhat to gain membership, making it convenient to enter the Beastfighting Arena to slay small monsters… At this moment, Da Zhe felt an unexpected delight—Emmm, indeed it’s much easier when you have someone above to help, isn’t it?

“Senior, this?”

“You belong to the same sect, it’s only right to look out for one another.” Heihun Fuxi chuckled, and then the Bagua Plate in his hand flew out, hovering above Da Zhe’s head. With a beam of light from the Bagua Plate, Da Zhe was directly enveloped.

Every hair on Da Zhe’s body stood up, his body tense, and the Zhan Lu Sword key trembled in response, seemingly ready to project out and fight against Heihun Fuxi… Unexpectedly, Heihun Fuxi finished by waving his hand, saying, “No need to be nervous, consider this as another welcome gift from me. We indeed belong to the same sect, but technically, I am also your elder. In the land of Yan and Huang, it’s not odd for elders to give juniors a welcome gift.”

The Bagua Plate floating above Da Zhe’s head soon returned to Heihun Fuxi’s hand… Da Zhe carefully checked his body, finding nothing amiss, and the Zhan Lu Sword hadn’t issued any warnings… He even felt a sense of mental relaxation, a smooth mood—almost like he had eaten a Ginseng Fruit.

“Senior, you?”

Heihun Fuxi chuckled, “Your foundation is excellent, but three hundred years is indeed too short, a good foundation does not mean rapid enhancement won’t bring hidden dangers… I merely helped you naturally and skillfully use your powers.”

Da Zhe casually waved his arm, finding his strength to be released more smoothly than before, and his control over the Dark Soul Body was much more refined… Such a feeling brought joy—a smile unknowingly appeared on his face.

“Then… thank you very much, Senior.” Da Zhe slowly breathed out, “Is there something I can do to serve you, Senior?”

Da Zhe was always perceptive… Knowing that among the Black Souls there is a relationship of mutual devouring, there is certainly no gratuitous offering even among Black Souls— even the Shop itself operates with compensation as its doctrine.

Heihun Fuxi smiled, “It’s simple, after you return, just inform the new master of my situation.”

Da Zhe couldn’t help but open his mouth slightly… Heihun Fuxi’s request was unexpectedly simple—it seemed disproportionate to the benefits given.

Heihun Fuxi said calmly, “As I said, between the new master and me it’s a relationship of an old retainer to a young master, and your arrival was not by command yet you discovered my current situation— so, I need you to report for me.”

Da Zhe understood immediately… for Heihun Fuxi’s words left no room for criticism—Heihun Fuxi clearly had control over the situation.

Indeed, he looks like an old retainer…

“Rest assured, Senior, regarding your situation, I will report truthfully after I return,” said Da Zhe steadily, “including the matter where you helped me, Senior.”

“No wonder you can wield the Zhan Lu Sword.” Heihun Fuxi nodded with a smile, “Alright, our meeting for today ends here… You should leave soon, staying too long in the Throne attracts the attention of other Thrones.”

Da Zhe couldn’t help but be secretly amazed… He thought he hid the Zhan Lu Sword well, yet the other had seen through it instantly—The Ninth of Origin, Heihun Fuxi, gave Da Zhe a feeling as deep as the Maid…

If Origin Level Black Souls are like this Heihun Fuxi, then those ranked before The Ninth of Origin black souls, what are they…?

Da Zhe still had many questions in his heart… But thinking that since he already knew Heihun Fuxi was the Throne of the Transcender Organization, he could find another time to slip into the Palace of Eternal Night to inquire again.

“Then, Senior, I will no longer disturb you.” Da Zhe bowed at this moment—the reason for the bow is that this is the only ancient etiquette he knew— taught by Jin Yong!

“Go on, Musashi must be getting impatient already.” Heihun Fuxi waved his hand, a Light Gate opened behind Da Zhe, “After you see Musashi, tell him I will remember his contribution this time.”

Da Zhe nodded, turned around, and stepped into the Light Gate directly, clean and swift.

Subsequently, the light shattered into fragments, disappeared with the wind, in the Octagonal Pavilion, Heihun Fuxi sat back down, took out the Bagua Plate, and slowly turned the mechanism on it.

He seemed to murmur to himself, “The noble man is open and honest, yet not without smoothness, let alone obtaining the Zhan Lu Sword… Sword Maiden, this is your future opponent.”

The door of a small wooden house in Fire Cloud Cave suddenly opened quietly, and a young girl walked out with closed eyes and bare feet… Around her floated nine small swords of different shapes and shimmering lights.

“You sure are long-winded, Zang Jian doesn’t like it,” said the calm voice of the closed-eyed girl.

Heihun Fuxi laughed heartily, quite pleased, “The Sword Maiden is still so adorable… I truly look forward to the day you grow up.”

The girl said nothing further, turned around, and directly entered the wooden house… Heihun Fuxi still looked at her with a smile.

A gentle breeze rose silently in Fire Cloud Cave… The wind rippled the pool outside the small house, and gently blew Heihun Fuxi’s long black hair.

Behind his head, as the wind slightly tousled his hair… a pair of strange eyes seemed faintly visible.

“This Da Zhe, even if not Origin Level, seems quite a tasty morsel…”

Heh heh heh heh——!
