âThis innate goddess is truly unique, what a strange lady." Xin Huo returned to Zhong Yueâs psyche ocean and complained, âSuch a good chance, you should really try and see if she can really make you one or two babies. She needed your genes, not your life! Youâve already done it with that little white tiger lady from Kun Lun who was of no use in giving birth to a Fuxi at all, but now you even decline someone who can? Shameless prick! Shame on you!â
Zhong Yue was speechless. He just couldnât muster any inappropriate thoughts on the moon god, even implanting his genes into her body felt like a sin.
âBrat Yue, you need to build your body well from now on so that you can be prepared next time something like this happens. Are you going to let it slip away again? No, I wonât allow it, you mustnât!" Xin Huo said solemnly.
Only after a long time did Zhong Yue get rid of the moon god from his head. Then, he walked up into the Golden Summit.
Jun Sixie smiled and said, âYour lover asked you to leave together, why didnât you?â
Zhong Yue smiled and answered suggestively, âI canât let go of youâ¦â
âFrivolous!â Jun Sixie glared at him fiercely and walked into the saint palace. But during the moment she turned when no one saw, her face blushed and her heart pounded.
ââ¦all." Zhong Yue slowly finished his sentence and shook his head when he saw the headmaster trotting into the palace in a fast gait, not knowing if she had heard him ending the sentence.
The moon god was a true beauty, he was confident that no other lady could surpass her in that department, but that didnât mean there wasnât anyone who was better. Moon god was too far from the mortals like a moon that hung high up in the sky, but Headmaster Jun was closer to his heart.
âLittle Cow Jun is good, also Little Cow Qiu, and the few demon ladies, and Little Cow Bai far in the northâ¦" Xin Huo was back on it again, âThe moon god now seemed to be an unsuccessful target, you can try expanding your ne. You never know, one of them might be it!â
Zhong Yue shook his head and remained silent toward Xin Huoâs suggestions.
Ignoring Xin Huoâs rant, Zhong Yue stepped into Yu Wenjuâs Yuan Shen secret realms. He saw many Swords Gate disciples gathered there, gaining insights from the scale mirror.
This scale of unknown origin was more valuable than any of the divine weapons in Swords Gate. With it, the disciplesâ flaws and weaknesses were laid bare, making the process of fixing them and improving their cultivation that much smoother!
Even Shui Zian who was long past his prime, was still able to take a step further in his cultivation with the help of this scale mirror.
Moreover, the scale was huge enough to allow over thousands of disciples to gain insights. Such a treasure could only be placed in the Yuan Shen secret realms so as to not attract unnecessary attention from the other races.
Zhong Yue stood in front of the mirror and inspected the tiniest details of his mortal body and Yuan Shen. Every time he went out into the world, he would go through many battles; and although he was able to pull through every time, many hidden wounds had accumulated within him. This normally wouldnât affect his prowess, but when neglected for long enough, they could impose a limit to his cultivation.
Only after tending to these wounds did he go into closed door seclusion to forge his soul weapon.
âBrat Yue, you shouldnât forge the soul weapon first, you should look into your Yuan Shen before that!" Xin Huo sat on Zhong Yueâs head in front of his eyes, âBetter you cultivate your Yuan Shen first! The True Spirit level dual state of extremities, the Pure Yin True Spirit, also known as the Chaotic Origin True Spirit; and the innate True Spirit. Youâve acquired the Sui Tree, and with it, you can cultivate your Golden Crow spirit into the innate True Spirit. In addition to that Innate Tai Yin Qi, you can also have your moon spirit ascend into the innate True Spirit. There, your Fuxi Yuan Shen will be stronger than ever. By then, when you break through to the Imminent Deity level, you will even be able to barely contend with gods!â
Zhong Yue was moved, he asked, âHow long will it take to cultivate the innate True Spirit?â
âWell, that varies a lot. At least, ten years? At most, over hundreds I suppose!â
Zhong Yue sighed and shook his head, even ten years was far too long, let alone a hundred. The moon god said that the Ancestral Star will be sealed soon, he didnât have hundreds of years to waste!
âSwords Gate, sword. The Swords Gate disciples and cultivation system are mainly based on the Sword Qi and sword arts. The sword is the weapon of a king, a symbol of righteousness.â
âIt is compatible with my cultivation technique. MyãCelestial Demon Tai Chi Artãcarries the changes of Yin and Yang; the celestial and demon. The sword has two sharp edges that can correspond to the Yin and Yang â one celestial and the other demon. But⦠the sword, in its immutable righteousness, lacks changes.â
Zhong Yue thought back to the Fuxi Art imparted to him by the Haoyi Monarch. Fuxi resembled the word âYiâ, and the word âYiâ meant changes.
Thus, the sword was out of the question.
âWhat best fits with my ãCelestial Demon Tai Chi Artã will of course be a scroll. The scroll can contain everything in it, including my cultivation techniques, skills and various other more. It has greater potential for changes and transformations, but the scroll is more aligned to defense rather than offense.â
âAn umbrella?â
âIt might work, open it and it can turn into a defensive stance; close it and I can wield it like a weapon. Feng Wuji chose the umbrella as his soul weapon. The umbrella is indeed rather cool, but it doesnât have much use.â
âAltarsâ¦â
â⦠I can forge a godly altar and carve theãCelestial Demon Tai Chi Artãon it, greatly enhancing myãWorshipping of Godsã while also boosting my power. But to cast an altar out in the battle means another anchor for me as I would have to stay close to it. I can only fight around it as well as protect it from damage. Maybe itâs also not too good a choice to make.â
âLord Bai the Glacial Frost Palace, he used it to kill the Mother Queen and seal the dimensional tunnel for thousands of years. It is truly strong and marvelous, but its main use is to suppress, seal and refine, rather than attacks.â
âCauldron, a good tool for refinement. The three-legged cauldrons are mostly used to hold food, only the four-legged ones are suitable for battle. The cauldron can help in bolstering oneâs fortune in the oneâs territory. But humans are weak and do not have much land that needs to be guarded over, it is useless for now.â
âA bell, silent when unprovoked, but capable to shaking the heavens when it rings. It is a musical instrument, and it resembles the time. Only those who wish to live for eternity like to wield bell, but I donât need an eternity of monotony, I prefer some excitement. Even if that means I can only live a limited amount of time.â
â¦
Zhong Yue listed out every possibility and considered them one after another. But he was still indecisive. When deciding to forge a soul weapon of his own, he wanted one to ensure that he was willing to wield it for the rest of his life!
This soul weapon would follow him in every battle and be by his side no matter the circumstances. It has to be able to reflect his indomitable will and hold his unyielding spirit. It needs to be able to attack like a ferocious beast, defend like an impenetrable phalanx, and exhibit myriad transformations like a kaleidoscope.
But a soul weapon like this was nearly impossible.
â¦â¦
Zhong Yue stared at his hands and mumbled, âThe Sui Sovereign had left behind the heritage of fire, Shaohao left a bell; what can I leave behind? What sort of weapon should this pair of hands wield? I want to leave behind a glorious era built from my hands, a weapon that I can use to breakthrough all of the obstacles in front of me!â
âThatâs why, I will choose twin sabers, twin sabers that can cleave through all that stand in my way!â
âWhen the two sabers come together, the Yin and Yang will coalesce as one power; when the twin saber is wielded separately, one can be the celestial and the other the demon!â
âThe demon saber will rend all evil, and the celestial saber will suppress all immortals! When the two come together, I shall dominate everything!â
âI donât need justice or righteousness, I donât care for benevolence or virtues. All I need is power, the power to conquer and crush all my enemies with an indomitable force!â
He had finally made his decision. He could feel something rising within him all of a sudden, âXin Huo, I want to forge a pair of sabers, the Celestial Demon Tai Chi Twin Saber!â
âSabers?â
Xin Huo hopped up from the ground and started scratching his head, âSabers⦠I canât help you with this. The inheritors I taught in the past had forged many kinds of weapons, but the saber was an exception. I can guide or even teach you if you had chosen anything else, but not the saber. From the ancient days until now, there werenât any experts that were known for wielding sabers. One of the inheritors even went so far as to say saber wielders are all dull idiots.â
Zhong Yue laughed, âThey couldnât do it, but it doesnât mean I canât as well. How do I forge it with this Golden Origin Water?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThe Golden Origin Water is very pure. Its form is between light and liquid. It is hard to shape, and even harder to carve totem patterns or infuse oneâs psyche into it. First, you need to create a mold, then slowly drip the Golden Origin Water into it.â Xin Huo mulled and said, âWith your current prowess, it is impossible to carve the totem patterns and infuse your psyche into the Golden Origin Water; without the mold, there is no other way. However, this mold canât be ordinary divine gold either, even your Luminant Sun Gold and moon core wonât work as well. They will also be assimilated and waste the invaluable Golden Origin Water. Not only that, but you still have to extract them out from the Golden Origin Water after the molding, further lowering the quality of the weapon forged. So, it is best to use something that is originally shapeless!â
âSomething with no shape?" Zhong Yueâs eyes brightened up, he took out the copper lamp and said while smiling, âThe last time we were in the sun, I collected a Solar Cosmic Ray and a Metamagnet Divine Ray, can these two rays be forged into two sabers?â
âA Solar Saber and Metamagnetic Saber?" Xin Huo was shocked, he nodded blankly and said a few moments later, âThe Solar Cosmic Ray and Metamagnet Divine Ray are shapeless objects, they would be perfect molds for your twin sabers. But these two rays are strong and incredibly fast, they arenât easy to capture and be made into molds. It is even dangerous to try and do so.â
Zhong Yue was shocked, his heart tightened up and asked, âHow dangerous?â
Xin Huo winked his eyes and said diffidently, âNot really that dangerous, the risks are more or less the same as the usual ones.â
Zhong Yue grew even more vigilant. Every time Xin Huo said it wasnât dangerous or it was only a little dangerous, it could only mean that it was extremely dangerous. No matter what, he would have to be extremely cautious so as to not die.
He opened the lamp lid and before he released the Solar Cosmic Ray, he stopped and closed it tight. Then, he took out Patriarch Natureâs Six Paths Reincarnations and entered the Yin Yang Reincarnation.
Xin Huo watched and praised, âYou are really cautious, like way Swords Gate wonât be perforated with thousands of holes by the Solar Cosmic Ray.â
âThousands of holesâ¦?" Zhong Yue shuddered before heaving a breath of relief immediately after. He was about to open the lamp lid but abruptly stopped again. He walked out of the Yin Yang Reincarnation and left his mortal body on the outside.
Xin Huo sighed and lamented, âYou are really smart, I was just hoping I can take a look at your perforated mortal bodyâ¦â
âNow it should be safe, right?" Zhong Yueâs Yuan Shen entered the Yin Yang Reincarnation and inhaled deeply. He released the Solar Cosmic Ray and prepared himself to capture it.
