Golden Ao Island.
Biyou Palace.
Purple clouds curled through the air, and green jade paved the ground.
Xuandu descended before the palace gate, his green robes stirring lightly, black hair cascading over his shoulders.
He raised his eyes toward the depths of the palace.
That Green Clad Figure sat cross-legged, Sword Intent flowing around him like water.
Sect Leader Tongtian.
"Master."
Xuandu stepped into the palace and stood beneath the cloud bed.
Tongtian opened his eyes.
Within those eyes, Sword Light flowed.
"Have you met them?"
The three characters fell lightly, carrying the calm detachment of one who had long expected this.
Xuandu nodded.
"I have."
"Fuxi and Shennong have both fulfilled their merits."
"Once the Human Emperor takes his throne and the Three Sovereigns emerge all at once, the Human Dao will awaken."
Tongtian gave a slight nod.
He rose to his feet, clasping his hands behind his back as he stood before the cloud bed.
He lifted his gaze beyond the palace gate, toward Above the Nine Heavens.
"Do you know who the Human Emperor is?"
Xuandu was taken aback.
He looked at Tongtian, thoughts racing through his mind.
Who was the Human Emperor?
He only knew that among the Three Sovereigns were the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi, the Earthly Emperor Shennong, and the Human Emperor Xuanyuan.
But who was Xuanyuan?
He did not know.
Countless yuanhui had passed, and the Great Wilderness was no longer the Great Wilderness of old.
The Human Race, too, was no longer the Human Race of old.
Countless heavenly prodigies had risen, countless brilliant talents had emerged.
Xuanyuan was one of them.
But what were his origins? What merits did he possess? Why could he become the Human Emperor?
Xuandu knew none of it.
"This disciple does not know."
He shook his head
