âCaptain, why are we not raiding them?â
As Ding He left the scene with his men, one of the demon gods voiced out his question, âThat Mister Yi is just a Heavenly Deity and even if he can win against an innate god, he is no match for us, there is no need to be afraid of him!â
âWhat do you know, you bastard!â
Ding He smirked, âHe is a True Deity already.â
That demon god smiled, âA True Deity still canât defeat Deity Emperor and there are so many Deity Emperors among usâ¦.â
âNonsense! If he gets real, we will all be slaughtered!â
Ding He let out a cold humphed, âWhen his divine light shined upon us, even I felt that everything about me was seen through by him. If we engaged in a fight, I will surely be killed by him in less than 10 attack exchanges! Why do you think I am so polite? I am not afraid of his position but his true strength! Remember! We are here to get wealthy, not to get killed! Besides, he is the Left King of the Xian Tian Palace, the board leader of the Board of Future Monarchs. Do you know what does that mean? The top of the board means that he is one that will potentially become the Heavenly Monarch! Now tell me, do you think we are strong enough to offend him? Whatâs more ...â
With a strange expression, he whispered, âThe existence that freed us from the prison told me that we must be polite to King Yi. We only managed to escape from that place because of that existence, she is our life savior so how could we not listen to her words?â
He turned around, looked at the fleet Zhong Yue was in and ordered, âWarn the pirates in the Galactic Sea of Disorder, tell them about Xian Tian Palaceâs Mister Yiâs presence in the Galactic Sea of Disorder so that they wonât raid his fleet!â
The demon god bowed and activated the totem pattern pillar and started spreading the news all across Galactic Sea of Disorder.
The Galactic Sea of Disorder was a place where the galaxy pirates rampaged; these pirates were often the most dangerous criminals suppressed and jailed in the Heavensâ Prison Realm or the prison in the Hellâs Reincarnation.
But during the Heavenly Monarchâs birthday celebration, something happened and the many racesâ prisons lost control, granting these dangerous criminals a chance to free themselves.
Upon escaping from the prisons, these criminals joined each other, raided across the galaxy and given how occupied these races were with the war, these criminals were left unattended and they established their base in the Galactic Sea of Disorder.
Not long later, the news was spread across the Galactic Sea of Disorder; the pirates now all knew that Xian Tian Palaceâs King Yi was around Galactic Sea of Disorder in a fleet.
The fleet then continued the journey for a few ten days safe and sound and that was when crimson red cloud came charging ragingly, tensing up the human gods onboard and a defense perimeter was set up immediately.
Within the raging crimson red cloud was a powerful existence and cloud turned into a Heaven, which dyed everywhere demonically crimson red as it passed by!
This time, even Yun Juanshu had gotten serious as there was no way for him to repel a Creator even with the help of Zhong Yue!
Zhong Yue on the other hand, remained calm and said, âDonât worry, I am a man of my word, you have my promise. Senior Martial Brother Yu, when this Creator gets close, suppress him with the divine tree while I behead him.â
Hundun Yu nodded.
This crimson red cloud had a very huge span, allowing it to gulped down every planet they passed, even a sun was about to be dyed red and just when the cloud was about to devour the fleet, a voice was heard shouting, âAncestor Xue! Ancestor Xue stop! That is King Yi on the ship!â
The massive spanned crimson red cloud stopped its rampage, shrunk in an instant, revealed an old man in red robe, red skin, red eyes, and red teeth.
This surprised old man then said, âKing Yi? Which King Yi? That King Yi from Xian Tian Palace?â
Far away, a monster Deity Emperor flew close and shouted, âYes, he is that King Yi from Xian Tian Palace. Ancestor Xue, please donât do anything reckless. The entire Galactic Sea of Disorder had received words about King Yi passing by and you still hadnât received this news because youâre outside.â
Ancestor Xueâs eyes lit up immediately and he smiled as he looked towards the fleet, âWhich one of you is King Yi? May I have the pleasure to meet you?â
Zhong Yue then walked out and introduced himself.
âBrilliant! Greetings, King Yi!â
Ancestor Xue burst out laughing and he clapped his hand, âBring me the wine!â
Beneath his wings came a few red bats that turned into ladies in blood red clothes and one of the lady carried a jar filled with wine in her hands while the other two held a bowl each.
Ancestor Xue filled up the bowls with the blood red wine and smiled, âKing Yi, are you brave enough to drink this bowl of wine? If you dare, then I will serve you one!â
âWhy not!â
Zhong Yue laughed and just as he was about to walk out, Yun Juanshu stopped him, âNo! What if he had traps waiting for you? You are King Yi of the Xian Tian Palace and the commander of Heaven Suppression Fortress! If you are captured by him right now, the fortress is gone!â
Zhong Yue replied, âHe is treating me a bowl of fine wine, I see no problem in this.â
The enraged Yun Juanshu immediately shouted, âSo reckless! You have shamed your fame!â
Zhong Yue ignored him, walked up to Ancestor Xue, stood face to face against him, took over the bowl from the lady while Ancestor Xue raised the other bowl before he downed the wine in one shot, âCheers!â
The wine in the bowl was just like crimson red amber and it had a very strong bloodied smell.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Meanwhile, Ancestor Xue showed Zhong Yue his empty bowl and smiled, âKing Yi?â
Zhong Yue downed the wine immediately and he praised at the next second, âSuch fine wine!â
âHahaha, of course it is!â
The happy Ancestor Xue laughed, âThis wine was made using more than ten thousand top tier special herbs. These extraordinary?herbs?1?are all the special treasures within various kinds of sacred grounds, they all have arms and legs, heads and bodies. In order to brew this wine, Iâve been thieving in the many sacred grounds. It wasnât only until now that I finally made this wine.â
He smiled, âToday, my efforts are not in vain after having the chance to drink with King Yi! I can now go back and show off to my brothers back at home!â
With a nod, Ancestor Xue left quickly with the few ladies wrapped in his sleeves and along with them, that monster Deity Emperor left as well.
Upon returning to the command warship, Yun Juanshu smirked and mocked, âKing Yi, as a master strategist, you have shamed yourself by acting just like those reckless fools! It is so foolish of you to drink a strangerâs wine without any precaution! If your enemies know about this bad habit of yours, you will be set up and killed by them!â
At the same time, Zhong Yue suddenly shivered; endless divine rays shot out from his body, nice scent spread across the ship as the powerful effect of the wine had purified his body and Yuan Shen massively.
Together with that, his cultivation level was boosted tremendously.
Without hesitation, Zhong Yue activated the [Thirty-three Layers Heavens Da Yao Scripture], refined his spine and the many levels were blasted open by the wineâs powerful effect.
The [Thirty-three Layers Heavens Da Yao Scripture] was cultivated in order to blast open the 33 spinal vertebrae and in order to achieve this, there was no other way but pouring immense effort to cultivate it, which Zhong Yue would require more than hundred years time to fully open them up.
Now however, with just that bowl of wine, Zhong Yue had already opened 28 of them and the speed had stunned him greatly!
âWorry not, there is no poison in the wine.â
Zhong Yue continued absorbing the wineâs power and said, âBesides, I know he bore no ill intention and why he treated me. Letâs go.â
Barely convinced, Yun Juanshu smirked and continue to have the fleet moving forward.
Two days later, a gigantic planet made of bones blocked off their path and there was a massive bone palace on that planet. Within this bone palace was a throne and there was a corpse demon shrouded in rotting stench sitting on it while a black coffin lied on the ground.
âDemon King Shi....â
Yun Juanshu was caught off guard by this unpleasant surprise and he quickly whispered, âThey said he was the corpse of a very powerful demon and it just wonât rot after the demonâs death even for a very long time. Then, being worshipped for more than hundreds of thousand years, spirit and soul was born in the corpse and thus, the birth of this monsterâ¦. Seems like this world is bound to be doomed as something so evil like him is also running amok now!â
âXian Tian Palaceâs King Yi?â asked Demon King Shi with an eerily cold voice.
Zhong Yue nodded, âYes, it is I, King Yi. Greetings, Demon King Shi.â
Demon King Shi got up from his throne and took out a jar of wine, filling up two cups and , âAncestor Xue bragged about having the honor to drink with King Yi so I too, wish to have the honor to drink with King Yi!â
Without giving a thought, Zhong Yue walked forward and Yun Juanshu once again, halted him and said, âBe careful! They might not poison the first cup but they will do it now!â
Zhong Yue ignored him again, walked towards Demon King Shi and raised the cup, âPlease, Demon King Shi.â
âPlease!â
The two downed the wine in one sip and Zhong Yue shivered for a second before saying, âExcellent wine!â
âHow is it compared to Ancestor Xueâs?â asked the emotionless Demon King Shi.
âBoth are equally perfect!â
Hearing Zhong Yueâs reply, Demon King Shi was very satisfied but he remained expressionlessly still. A few seconds later, Demon King Shi moved this bone planet away and his voice echoed around, âThis wine is made from the water in the land of the dead in the same coffin where I was buried. After being worshipped for many years, the power of worship had condensed into this unrivaled water and all I managed to harvest and concoct was just this jar of wine.â
Zhong Yue returned to the command warship, his body rumbled again and another four bones were cleared!
Yun Juanshu had the fleet continued the journey and two days later, they were met with a carriage riding on prosperous clouds surrounded by divine ladies. In this carriage sat a very handsome looking, proud and diligent young god, who smiled, âIs this King Yi?â
Zhong Yue stood up and bowed, âIt is I. And you are?â
âIâve long forgotten my true name but my friends around call me Ye Tianzi.â
That Ye Tianzi smiled, âI heard that Mister Yi is passing by so I specifically came here to have a drink with you.â
Zhong Yue walked towards Ye Tianzi and the two sat down, had a drink, whose power cleared the final level of Zhong Yueâs 33 Heavens.
Zhong Yue was surprised and he said, âSenior Martial Brother Ye, this wineâ¦.â
âWith my name now as Ye Tianzi. This wine is of course, an imperial wine.â
Ye Tianzi smiled, waved at Zhong Yue and he left without a word.
Yun Juanshu on the other hand, murmured, âHe is definitely from a monarch race and very likely related to the previous generationâs Heaven Court. This man is probably Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuanâs heir!â
