Chapter 37

"Regardless, the calamity has already arrived. As sages, we cannot stand idly by!" Nüwa gently said to Hongjun.

"Do you have any plan, Lady?" Hongjun stroked his beard and asked.

"The flood has swept across the land, and its root cause is still the celestial flaw. I wish to seek an item on the vast land to refine the Nine Heavens and Clear Universe, to patch up the flaw. In this way, the disaster of the sky collapsing will naturally be eliminated. The only concern is the flood."

"So, Lady, you want me to take action to control the flood?" Daozu Hongjun said calmly.

"Daozu is different from me. You were able to protect a realm in the ancient times, naturally with some reliance. This matter naturally depends on you, Daozu!"

Hongjun and Nüwa were both divine beings who survived the great flood at the end of the ancient era. They still vividly remembered the events of that ancient time. At that time, Hongjun was a great deity of the same era as the Heavenly Emperor, and he attained the Dao in the late ancient times. He refined the twenty-four Sea-Stabilizing Pearls from the void bubbles to protect his own Daoist mountain, Yujing Mountain, and the surrounding ten thousand miles of land.

However, Nüwa was merely a minor deity in the ancient times. She and her brother managed to survive with the help of a spiritual treasure, and thus she could proudly traverse the ancient times and the vast land.

Therefore, Nüwa thought that if Daozu took action, he could control the flood again. After all, the Sea-Stabilizing Pearls have now been promoted to supreme spiritual treasures, and with the power of a sage, controlling the flood would be effortless.

Let's not mention how Nüwa and Hongjun discussed the matter. When Feng Zhong, Feng Kui, and others had not yet managed to relocate the entire Sui Ren tribe to Sui Mountain, the flood had already reached this area.

The flood surged, and the turbid currents swept away everything in their path, including sand, stones, and plants. The flood rushed forward without stopping.

Water overcomes fire, so Feng Ye did not dare to use his usual Sui Ren lamp. Feng Ye stood in the air above Sui Mountain, invoking the Taiji symbol, which transformed into a yin-yang cloud, with hanging tassels protecting the surrounding Sui Mountain range.

However, it was already too late. Yuan Kui had already moved the surrounding living beings and plants to Sui Mountain and activated the mountain protection array, which could勉强cope with the flood's invasion.

However, the human tribe led by Feng Zhong and Feng Kui included many elderly, women, and children, who were not mobile. As they just arrived at the entrance of Sui Mountain, a large part of the people were swept away by the flood, and only a few managed to escape to the mountain entrance. Seeing this, Feng Zhong and Feng Kui hurriedly went down to save the people.

At this moment, Yuan Kui called out to Feng Zhong, "Don't worry about this. Stay on Sui Mountain and operate the mountain protection array to protect the living beings on the mountain! Leave the rest to me." With that, Yuan Kui transformed into a celestial dragon and plunged into the flood. The flood, empowered by Gonggong's divine strength, was indeed powerful, but as a dragon deity, Yuan Kui had a natural affinity for water, and with the flood being weakened by other great beings along the way, he could handle it.

Yuan Kui, transformed into a divine dragon, continuously emerged from the flood, rescuing the tribe members one by one. As the leader, Feng Kui did not want to stay on Sui Mountain. After settling the tribe members, he also went down to save the people.

However, in just a short time, the human tribe had been swept far away. Although Yuan Kui and Feng Kui saved a large part of the people, many were still stranded.

Seeing the people drifting further away, and with Yuan Kui and Feng Kui too busy to help, Feng Ye, with a determined heart, directly broke off his left little finger. The pain was excruciating, but Feng Ye could not afford to hesitate. He inscribed a series of talismans on the little finger and threw it into the flood. The little finger instantly transformed into a giant boat, rescuing the stranded tribe members.

Being part of a Celestial Immortal's body, the boat was sturdy enough to withstand the flood. After two trips, the tribe members were safely returned to Sui Mountain.

On the third trip, as the giant boat returned to Sui Mountain, a huge wave came. Feng Ye, already weakened by the pain of the broken finger and distracted, almost had the yin-yang cloud shattered by the wave. Seeing this, Feng Ye prioritized protecting the defensive shield. As for the giant boat made from his finger bone, he could not spare the attention, and it was carried away by the wave.

Feng Ye could only sigh, hoping that those people would not be doomed, otherwise his finger bone would have been wasted. However, he believed that his finger bone, being a Celestial Immortal's relic, would still have some effect.

As for himself, although he could not regenerate from a drop of blood, he could still regrow a broken limb. Therefore, Feng Ye was not too concerned. Seeing that Feng Kui had already saved the remaining tribe members, Feng Ye calmed down and returned to Sui Mountain, invoking the Sui Ren lamp and the Taiji true symbol. The Sui Ren lamp stabilized the mountain protection array, and the Taiji symbol formed another layer of defense. The flood passed over Sui Mountain without affecting it.

However, upon returning to Sui Mountain, Feng Ye heard a terrible news: Feng Kui had exhausted his energy and died!

Feng Ye was stunned. Honestly, he would rather save fewer tribe members than see his disciples and family die. Hearing that Feng Kui was deeply moved by his act of breaking his finger to save people and wanted to emulate his teacher, Feng Ye felt a mix of emotions. This foolish child, what could he say? If not for this, Feng Ye would not have thought Feng Kui was honest and Feng Zhong was clever, and he would not have been so conflicted about who was the reincarnation of Sui Huang.

But Feng Zhong's face was full of sorrow, and Feng Kui's body was still there, leaving Feng Ye no choice but to believe it.

Especially when he heard that Feng Kui, before dying, still thought of his teacher and said he could not fulfill his filial duty under him, Feng Ye was deeply moved. Although he initially wanted to understand the cause and effect and plan for merit, how could a person be without feelings? After living together for decades, they naturally had feelings. Moreover, Feng Ye had no descendants, so he treated these two disciples as his own sons.

This was also a tradition in the vast land, where teachers and elders held a high status, equal to parents. Many grew up without parents and were raised in their teacher's door, so the bond was deep.

"Enough, enough, in the next life, I will guide you back to the mountain!" With great merit and dying for the human race, the human way would flourish, and he would naturally be reborn.

However, Feng Kui's fate was indeed tragic. In his previous life, as Sui Huang, he had boundless merit, but he died for no reason. Now, in this life, he died again. Could there be some hidden meaning? Thinking about this, Feng Ye suddenly sensed a hint of destiny.

He suddenly realized! Speaking of Feng Kui, with such deep merit, he could not have died for no reason. He had not done anything immoral, so his death must have been arranged by the Heavenly Dao.

Think about it, in mythology, who is known for fire virtue, revered as the Fire Virtue King, and also revered as the founder of medicine? Besides the later Sage Emperor, there is no one else. In five thousand years of Chinese history, there is only one such person!

If Feng Kui were to become the Sage Emperor in the future, dying multiple times to accumulate merit over lifetimes is not impossible. Thinking about this, Feng Ye was both amused and moved. He never thought that Feng Kui's death was not a bad thing but a good thing!

Moreover, if he made a vow to guide him back to the mountain, could he become the teacher of the Sage Emperor in the future?
