Zhong Yue was inspecting the divine weaponâs fragment to try to understand more about it. However, the divine weapon was too damaged that it didnât even possess a single strand of energy. It was impossible for him to find out its use during its perfect state.
Which was also why Monarch Chang Sheng could possess the divine weaponâs fragment for so long. If it had any energy left in it, its master would be able to sense its presence.
If that happened, Monarch Chang Sheng would be exposed and be eliminated for sure!
âIf this divine weapon was buried in the core of the Earth Order Eraâs Imperial Star, they shouldâve acted before Dao Venerate Fu Min slaughtered the 3,000 monarchs, not after.â
Zhong Yue said, âSenior Martial Brother Chang Sheng, can I take this divine weaponâs fragment?â
Monarch Chang Sheng nodded.
Zhong Yue kept the fragment in his Yuan Shen secret realms and bowed, âThank you, senior martial brother, for all the help youâve given to our Fuxi Celestial Race over the hundred thousand years. Yue has nothing that can repay the debt we owe to you!â
Monarch Chang Sheng quickly helped Zhong Yue get up and replied, âI was only a herb, if it wasnât for Dao Venerateâs guidance, my destiny will remain as a herb that will someday be consumed by someone. But now, Iâm a monarch myself, with my own race. This is a debt I owe him that not even death can repay.â
Zhong Yue stood up, he said, âSenior Martial Brother Chang Sheng, please take care of yourself. I will still need your help to aid me in Fuxiâs future.â
Monarch Chang Sheng stood up and sent him away, he said, âBe careful of Mu Xiantian.â
Zhong Yue entered the Nether and turned back to his King Yiâs cover, summoning the thousand-winged ancient warship and sailing out.
Somewhere in the Heavenly River, Mo Yin was observing the Heaven Breaching Fortressâs fate from afar and he suddenly smiled when he noticed the changes, he said, âGentlemen, King Yi is now out of the fortress. He has left the Imperial Star to the outer galaxies. If you want him, now is your time.â
Beside Mo Yin, three Imperial Emperors exchanged a look and saw the same curiosity in each otherâs eyes.
The three Imperial Emperors were Innate Evil Monarchâs disciple, Xie Yang, Innate Demon Monarchâs disciple Mo Yuanlie, and Innate Celestial Monarchâs disciple, Shen Xiage.
Mo Yuanlie put up a smile as he asked, âMister Mo, how did you know King Yi has left the Heaven Breaching Fortress?â
âKing Yiâs fate is strong and thick, no less than Mu Xiantianâs. He himself accounts for 30 percent of the Heaven Breaching Fortressâs fate. With his departure, the Heaven Breaching Fortressâs fate just seen a 30 percent drop.â
Mo Yin explained, âKing Yiâs fate is already at a high stage of what we call it as the Five Qi Returned Origin, itâs not just extraordinary. To you lots, he is only a man, but to me, King Yi is as bright as a divine sun. Wherever he goes, brilliance follows. Thus, itâs not hard for me to find him.â
Xie Yang, Mo Yuanlie, and Shen Xiage were left in awe.
âMister Mo, do you know where is he heading?â Shen Xiage asked.
Mo Yin raised his finger and pointed at the direction where Zhong Yue left, âThat way. But where to, I canât tell. My vision cannot reach that far.â
The trio walked out with Xie Yang smiling, âWe will be able to find him after knowing his direction. He is only a Deity Overlord now, which is also known as the Cataclysmic Realm. Before his ascension to the Deity Emperor level, he will face with a cataclysmic tribulation for trying to steal the heavenâs and earthâs powers. Knowing his direction, we will be able to chase up to him and sense his presence as nature leads us to him!â
Shen Xiage said, âThe Deity Overlord is a difficult level to the gods. The slightest distraction will cost the cultivatorâs life. King Yi shouldâve stayed in the Heaven Breaching Fortress and broken through to the Deity Emperor level under his armiesâ protection. But unfortunately for him, he didnât, instead leaping into deathâs arms.â
Mo Yuanlie was filled with killing intent, âI heard King Yi has already faced a tribulation during his return to the Heaven Breaching Fortress. He was ambushed by the Panhu monarch spirits, forced to use the Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom to escape his death. But given that he hasnât broken through to the Deity Emperor level yet, the tribulation still stands!â
Lou Zhengshi saw the trio leaving, he said, âMister, King Yiâs absence in the Heaven Breaching Fortress is our best chance to take it down! I say we launch a full attack now!â
Mo Yin shook, he sighed as he explained, âWe are not powerful enough for that. King Yi has left, but his incarnations are still there. Their presence still allowed him to command the armies in the war. Our current stand nowâ¦â
He shook again and continued, âIf we can blood sacrifice tens of million slaves and summon the Panhu Clanâs five monarch spirits, we will be able to do so. But sadly, the slaves were used up by Consort Tian Si.â
Lou Zhengshi sighed in regret. Suddenly, he said, âWait, thereâs still the Sign of Nine-Five! We may take down the Heaven Breaching Fortress with the innate godsâ help!â
âIâm afraid of anything that would happen to the Nine-Five. Furthermore, minimizing any war is also His Majestyâs order, I cannot override his wish.â
Suddenly, Mo Yin was bestirred and he laughed happily, âHis Majesty just told me he had found a way to handle Mu Xiantian. He wants us to be patient, wait until His Majesty and the queen opened the seventh secret realm and we will take down Mu Xiantian and King Yi in fe;; swoop! General Lou, you should also hold back your urge for war.â
Lou Zhengshi sighed, âIâm just whining over the fleeting chance weâve missed this time.â
Half a year later, the thousand-winged ancient warship arrived at the boundary of the Zi Wei Galaxy. Over the years, Zhong Yueâs cultivation base and prowess were getting stronger day by day. As a result, the shipâs travel speed was also increasing, shortening the time for him to travel to places.
Here, the surroundings were much lesser. There were more blank spaces and fewer stars and planets. Most of the astronomical bodies were clustered together and formed into a sacred land.
In stark contrast to the Imperial Star that was filled with fate and Dao, this place seemed much more desolate. The number of gods taking residence here was also much lesser. But that was just when compared to the Imperial Star.
Although it wasnât up to the match of the other places in the Zi Wei Galaxy, it was still a grade better than the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.
Zhong Yue stopped the thousand-winged ancient warship in the Nether and walked out. He descended into the sacred landâs city and toured himself around.
Moments later, he stopped by a pavilion and strode into it, sitting down on the bench.
Soon after, Feng Xiaozhong and Pan Suxin were seen walking toward the pavilion. They were incredibly intimate, holding hands and leaning on shoulders like two love birds. If it were someone who didnât know of Feng Xiaozhongâs history, no one would ever think that the middle-aged man would be the madman that was the bane of every race in the universe.
âSuxin, go take a walk around on your own for a second. Iâll be meeting with an old friend.â Feng Xiaozhong smiled as he said.
Pan Suxin left on her own as he wished.
Then, the dimensions in the pavilion rippled and Feng Xiaozhong appeared in front of Zhong Yue. There were two teacups on the table and the teas were still warm.
âSenior martial brother didnât slow down your cultivation progress for her, did you?â Zhong Yue sipped on the tea and asked.
Feng Xiaozhong sat down in front of him and asked, âHow did you know Iâm here?â
âI didnât, but I know Pan Suxin is here.â Zhong Yue smiled, âItâs incredibly hard to calculate your location, but Iâve concocted her Karmic Line, of course, I will be able to calculate her location. Senior martial brother, Iâm afraid that your love will hinder your cultivation.â
Feng Xiaozhong replied calmly, âYou overthink things. I may be into love, but I am also still devoted to the Dao. Itâs been a long time since my heart has found peace. Now that it has, my zeal for the Dao has grown even stronger, my mind and thoughts are clearer. What I couldnât see before, after meeting Suxin, I can now, and I can even see more than before.â
Zhong Yueâs heart grew alert, he said, âYou should know, she isnât your wife, but a Panhu Sovereign Race lady who only resembles her. You canât replace her as your wife!â
Feng Xiaozhong looked an eye at him and answered placidly, âWhat difference does it make? Iâve taken her as my lovely wife and she sees me as her love. In my heart, my wife is back to life. In hers, my loyalty to her is also true.â
Zhong Yue frowned softly while Feng Xiaozhong drank the tea, he stood up and said, âYou should leave.â
Zhong Yue frowned even more, âSenior martial brother, we are Dao friends.â
Feng Xiaozhong smiled, âWe still are. My Yu Ling Palace is still here, our incarnations can still continue our researches. I didnât do nothing over the past 20 years, Iâve been researching the secrets of Heavenâs disciple, Xuan Ji. However, Suxin doesnât like to see you, so I will not let her meet you.â
Zhong Yue was left with no choice, âIf thatâs your wish, senior martial brother, I will leave the two of you alone. Senior martial brother, anything you need me, just give me a call.â
Feng Xiaozhong waved his hand, turned and left.
Zhong Yue stood up and also disappeared suddenly as if he was never here before. No matter what, he has inherited Feng Shangâs heritage. That made Feng Shangâs only son, Feng Xiaozhong, his family. As long as Feng Xiaozhong was happy, he would also be happy for them.
Zhong Yue passed by the Quasi Star Region and stopped the warship there. Then, he strode into the region.
From afar, the region looked like a swamp of quasi stars. The quasi stars were always exploding, releasing their brilliance like sabers of light into the blank space. It was as if there was a giant waving light sword around.
He was here twice but still couldnât help but praise the endless wonders of the universe. He even planned to stay around longer to derive a sword art from the Quasi Star Regionâs nature, but didnât manage to as he didnât have enough time for it.
However, this time here in the Quasi Star Region, his goal wasnât to just derive a sword art from it, but to attain an innate Dao out of it.
The Innate Lake Dao.
In the universe, there is Lei Zhe and the Quasi Star Region. Lei Zhe contained the Innate Lightning Dao while the Quasi Star Region had the bright sword lights. However, these two places both have the Innate Lake Dao. But why didnât I encounter any experts that cultivated this kind of Dao?
Zhong Yue walked around the region, reaching his senses out to the Daos in the heaven and earth to find the Innate Lake Dao. In his opinion, other than the base elements of celestial and demon, there should also be the four symbols and eight trigrams before the universe could be completed.
Daos were, in fact, explanations of the universeâs existence. Any Dao, every Dao, they were all actually explaining the existence and phenomena happening in the universe. The innate Daos were also no exception to it. However, the only difference was that some Daos were used to explain the phenomenons and some explained the very foundation of the universeâs existence.
What Zhong Yue had to do now was find a base Dao from the Quasi Star Region!
As it was now, the Quasi Star Region was occupied by the Getian Clan. Millions of Getian clansmen had migrated here from the Imperial Star. They modified the stars and planets into habitable continents for their survival.
Among them, there were strong and powerful experts, including two Imperial Emperors. However, Zhong Yueâs arrival in the Quasi Star Region remained unknown to them as he was an expert in the Space Dao. His movements were so obscure that even the Imperial Emperors couldnât detect him easily if he didnât want to expose himself.
