Chapter 632: Chapter 59: Houtu Has Integrated with the Dao, Copying Transcendent Traits

"Trouble?"

Lu Xuan’s expression changed. He had never seen the Lady wear such a grave look, and an ominous premonition instinctively surfaced in his heart.

The Goddess stared at the two Fu Xis and took a deep breath.

"I cannot see everything. I am unable to perceive his Transcendent Traits, but I can see... many, many Fu Xis."

Lu Xuan focused his attention and asked,

"How many?"

"Infinite."

The Goddess said solemnly,

"If it were only that, it wouldn’t be much trouble. But some of them..."

After a pause, she narrated in a low voice,

"Chen Shu is Fu Xi, Lu Xiuyuan’s wife is Fu Xi, Wu Xiaoxu’s father is Fu Xi..."

"Earth Emperor Shennong is Fu Xi, Human Emperor Xuanyuan is Fu Xi, the Buddhist Sect’s Buddha of Pure Light is Fu Xi, the Celestial Realm’s Five Directions Five Elders are all Fu Xi..."

Lu Xuan’s expression grew increasingly grim. He didn’t care about the Five Directions Five Elders or the Buddha of Pure Light, but Teacher Lu’s wife, Chen Shu, Uncle Wu... they were different.

An indescribable feeling welled up in his heart. He asked again in a low voice,

"If it is merely this, it shouldn’t be considered too great a trouble. Did you... see something else?"

A hesitant look appeared on the stunningly beautiful woman’s face, as if she wanted to speak but stopped herself.

After a long moment,

She let out a soft sigh and said calmly,

"Houtu, after she came to her senses, voluntarily gave up everything. She has already performed Integration Dao, becoming a part of the [Earth Virtue], and has lost all her emotions and desires."

Lu Xuan abruptly looked up.

’Lady Houtu... performed Integration Dao?’

’Then who is the one teaching Lu Nian right now?’

The stunningly beautiful woman nodded lightly.

"She, too, is Fu Xi."

Lu Xuan’s expression changed drastically.

The Goddess continued,

"This is one of the great troubles you face. That girl Xiaonian is by Fu Xi’s side. Although she is a symbol of the immortal, indestructible, and unending, it’s hard to say what will happen when faced with Transcendent Traits. For now, do not alert the enemy."

Lu Xuan subconsciously clenched his fists. Many of his questions were answered in that moment.

For example, back in the Profound Purity Realm, he couldn’t understand how Fu Xi, in the guise of the Celestial Blade Ancestor, knew that Hongjun was his True Self Incarnation.

Looking at it now, it was because of ’Houtu’...

Lu Xuan’s voice was a little hoarse.

"Lady, you said this is only one of the great troubles... Then, what else is there?"

A look of confusion appeared on the stunningly beautiful woman’s face.

"I can’t say for sure. Fu Xi’s origins are very strange. They involve Transcendent Traits, as if he was born from the Transcendent Traits themselves. I can’t see it clearly at all..."

After a pause, she took a deep breath.

"This person is far from simple. He has replaced the identities and destinies of many living beings and has been active throughout all of Ancient History. I saw that he once tried to replace that Child of yours."p>

"Xiaohuo’er?!" Lu Xuan’s voice jumped an octave.

"That’s right."

The stunningly beautiful woman said softly,

"But he failed. That Child of yours... displayed a cultivation at the level of a Dao Fruit and forced Fu Xi to retreat."

Lu Xuan’s expression changed again.

’Dao Fruit??’

’Xiaohuo’er??’

A dreadful shock struck his heart, and he shot to his feet.

"How... is this possible?"

Lu Xuan didn’t understand. The number of Dao Fruits was fixed, so how could there be another one?

’And how could Xiaohuo’er be a Dao Fruit??’

"Don’t worry."

The stunningly beautiful woman consoled him,

"Through Fu Xi, I can vaguely see that something is just off with your Child’s condition. He himself is unaware of his own capabilities. I can roughly guess his situation. It might be trouble, but it might also be a good thing."

Her words were ambiguous, leaving Lu Xuan somewhat confused. He earnestly asked for clarification, but the Goddess ultimately just shook her head.

"It’s really hard for me to explain clearly. Your Child is in some kind of complex state, a superposition of multiple possibilities, with parts of the future reflecting into the present..."

Lu Xuan frowned.

After a long pause, he buried the matter in his heart and continued to ask,

"Lady, if even you cannot see through Fu Xi’s origins, can you see what he is plotting right now?"

The stunningly beautiful woman frowned and shook her head.

"I cannot. His plot is related to his Transcendent Traits."

After thinking for a moment, she continued,p>

"In any case, you must be careful. Do not alert the enemy. As for the Houtu that Fu Xi has transformed into, you must handle the situation with discretion and first find an opportunity to get Xiaonian out of there."

Lu Xuan nodded heavily, his expression dark.

He spoke with the stunningly beautiful woman for a long time, learning of Fu Xi’s many identities. The more he learned, the more horrified Lu Xuan became!

From the body of Houtu, to Supreme Daluos like Xuanyuan and Shennong, all the way down to the countless common people...

To say nothing of the others, within his own Dao Dynasty, under the command of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, there were an enormous number of ’Fu Xis’!

’What in the world does Fu Xi want?’

After a long period of contemplation, Lu Xuan stared at the two Fu Xis. An idea struck him, and he activated the Path of Great Balance.

He could vaguely sense the Transcendent Traits. It was definitely not the Transcendent Trait of [Infinite Innate Spiritual Light]. This was probably because it wasn’t the main body, so the Transcendent Trait was extremely blurry.

Lu Xuan didn’t give up. He tried to copy it via equalization, and then... he succeeded.

To be precise, he half-succeeded.

This was not Fu Xi’s main body, so the Transcendent Trait it possessed—the one that allowed him to replace identities, usurp destinies, and overwrite histories—was only a tiny sliver.

But Lu Xuan still forcibly ’copied’ that tiny sliver over to himself!

"This is..."

He closed his eyes, falling into a trance. The destinies, identities, and histories of all living beings were reflected in the world of his mind, including... the Dao Fruits.

In that moment, Lu Xuan felt as if he were everything, and as if everything were him.

It seemed he could become anyone—truly become them, replacing their Cause and Effect, taking over their identity, and inheriting their destiny...

But this profound and mysterious feeling quickly dissipated. In the end, Lu Xuan had only synchronized and copied a portion of the [Path of Destiny].

It was, after all, incomplete.

He took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes. His pupils shone as brightly as two Great Sun Golden Lamps!
