Ma Sansou moved away from the wall and looked toward Zhong Yue. There, the Blood Bone Evil God was still standing on the same spot whereas the stone tablet’s power was sealed. Although godly rays still revolved around the words, the stone tablet’s power wouldn’t be able to be unleashed anymore.
Zhong Yue picked up the stone tablet and hurled it to Ma Sansou, then he said, “Lead the way.”
Ma Sansou quickly hugged the stone tablet in his arms and uttered in shock, “You’ve suppressed the stone tablet! Are you even stronger than King Geng?”
Zhong Yue shook his head and his psyche spoke, “Just stronger than the King Geng three years ago. Furthermore, this is just a stone tablet he left behind not his body. It’s impossible for him to still be the same without any improvements after three years. I might still be weaker than him now.”
Ma Sansou was still shocked, he put down the stone tablet and said, “I only heard that the lower realm is somewhere in this area, but I do not know where it is precisely. It’s situated inside of a flower. Leaping into the flower leads you into that lower realm you are looking for.”
Zhong Yue’s psyche swept across the area, scanning every single inch of it. Immediately, he detected the flower Ma Sansou was referring and moved toward it.
Soon, the two of them arrived at the front of a lotus pond. The lotuses were in bloom and one of them instantly caught their attention. It had many layers that stacked atop one another, as if it had continually bloomed without undergoing any withering between each bloom.
“The Undying Flower!” Ma Sansou exclaimed.
The flower was known as the Undying Flower. It started blooming even before the creation of the Six Paths Reincarnation and contained a realm within its heart, a lower realm created by the ancient figure during the experimentation of the Six Paths Reincarnation.
Seeing that Zhong Yue had found his target, Ma Sansou gave a series of dry laughs and said, “I think I’ll stay here. I’m afraid I won’t be able to exit the realm after absorbing the spiritual energy in it.”
Whereas Zhong Yue strode toward the flower while answering indifferently, “King Geng will arrive soon after, death will be your only ending if you stay.”
Ma Sansou shivered in fear, he then gritted his teeth and followed Zhong Yue. The two of them walked into the Undying Flower and disappeared.
Meanwhile, inside a glassy palace, Concubine Han and Zhen Yao were surrounded by many Qi Practitioners in the center. The two of them were much stronger than before but were still helpless against the enemies that have outnumbered them.
They were the first to discover the glassy palace, it was a place blessed with immense spiritual energy. However, the Qi Practitioners found them right after and trapped them within the palace, barring all paths of escape.
“Senior Martial Sister Zhen Yao, this is none of your business. If you leave now, the king can spare your life.” One of the Qi Practitioners shouted, “It’s been fifty thousand years since your first life, even your soul age is now reaching its end, isn’t? There is no need for you to die for Concubine Han!”
Zhen Yao gave a cold sneer, she replied coldly, “I’ve made a deal with her to look after each other’s back. If I leave when she is in trouble, I will then break my promise. But I have no intent to go back on my word!”
“The Old Demon Zhen Yao that slaughtered countless being is speaking of promises? How ridiculous.” A handsome young man shrouded with starlight walked over. It felt as if he was the center of a galaxy with countless little stars orbiting around him.
He looked at the two ladies and said placidly, “Zhen Yao, even if you’ve joined hands with Concubine Han, the two of you are still no match for me. Resist and death will be inevitable. This has nothing to do with you, it’s the conflicts between me and the Realm Monarch. You can still step aside now.”
Concubine Han’s face was pale like snow, while Zhen Yao replied frigidly, “King Geng, how are you a man for you to take vengeance on the Realm Monarch’s concubine rather than the Realm Monarch himself! If you are really a man, you should be looking for the Realm Monarch!”
The young man was none other than King Geng, the late Realm Monarch’s younger brother. He smiled and explained, “The Realm Monarch? Of course I will be looking for him! However, I will also claim his concubine for myself. I’ve lost to him in the contest for the throne of Realm Monarch, and I fully concede to my defeat. However, he framed me as a rebel, destroying my mortal body and banishing me to the Prison Realm. Naturally, I have to seek vengeance for myself. Although, I didn’t intend to claim his concubine for free; Concubine Han, if you give in yourself now and pledge your loyalty, I will make you my only wife after I saly the Realm Monarch and claim the throne! If you agree, then walk out of the Crystal Prism Palace.”
Concubine Han shook her head and declined, “Once a husband and wife, always a husband and wife. I plead King Geng to spare our lives and return our freedom.”
King Geng frowned, while one of his followers smirked and criticized, “Concubine Han, why are you still putting on airs? You’ve been banished by the Realm Monarch and are forbidden from leaving the Prison Realm. Don’t tell me that you hold no grudges against the Realm Monarch. Furthermore, you’ve poisoned the prince and killed him before he even got to see this world. Your heart is darker than a witch’s, how do you even speak of devotion to the Realm Monarch?”
Concubine Han shook her head, “I am fully devoted to my husband, it’s natural for me to poison the prince so that I can have his full love.”
Just as King Geng was going to answer, his expression changed and his face stiffened up, “Interesting, interesting. Someone just suppressed and sealed my Stone Tablet of Six Paths Bitterness. Could it be Li Tianxing or Fa Huasheng? Or is it someone else? The stone tablet I’ve left behind has been sealed, that means my followers in the palace are most probably killed as well. How audacious of them!”
He led the crowd and left while laughing, “Concubine Han, you will follow me as well!”
As he spoke, the starlight around him stagnated in mid-air, and the images of gods appeared above it. The phantoms reached their hands out and combined into another giant hand that broke right through the Crystal Prism Palace and captured the two ladies!
The ladies unleashed their powers togetherly but was still suppressed within the giant hand in just the matter of seconds!
“The Innate Constellation Spirit Body?” Zhen Yao’s face changed drastically and exclaimed with shock.
“No.” King Geng shook and laughed, “It’s the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body. A physique that is rare even throughout all 3000 Six Path Worlds.”
At the same time, Zhong Yue and Ma Sansou had entered the realm inside the Undying Flower.
A rainbow bridge formed by godly rays drew a beautiful arc across the sky, Zhong Yue stood on the bridge and glanced around.
It was very much different from the Bone Realm, the environment in here was just like a natural paradise. Verdant grass paved across the land with flowers blooming beautifully; the mountains were tall and surrounded by fluffy clouds.
“Hmm? The powers of Six Paths and Reincarnation are near perfection in here.” Zhong Yue was surprised. It seems like this lower realm was created by the ancient figure in the latter days of the experiments, that’s why the power of Six Paths and Reincarnation were near perfection.
However, the power of Six Paths and Reincarnation were still divided and hadn’t been merged.
This was also what made it impossible for the Qi Practitioners to break free from the lower realm after absorbing the spiritual energy in here!
Chapter 668: The Song Realm And Singers |
“This is known as the Song Realm. I heard that all the the living beings in here are natural singers and dancers. Their voices are among the best of the best.” Ma Sansou glanced around and continued, “They are said to have a voice closet to the voice of Dao. What a shame the powers of Six Paths and Reincarnation aren’t complete here in this real
m. Else, a higher-level being and civilization would’ve been born.”
Zhong Yue shook his head, “Whether or not a civilization is great does not depend on the Six Paths Reincarnation. After all, before the Six Paths Reincarnation, there were still some of the greatest civilizations.”
All of a sudden, a blazing sun rose into the sky as Zhong Yue visualized it with his three-legged Golden Crow.
From far, one could see the sun imbuing the Golden Crow as it flashed across the sky and disappeared over the horizon.
Then, another bright moon rose behind Zhong Yue, within it was his Star Toad, also flashing across the sky and disappeared in another direction.
As soon as the sun spirit and moon spirit were separated from his Yuan Shen, his cultivation base plummeted to a critical level. But even so, Ma Sansou could still feel a wide gap between their strengths!
He has cast out his spirits and it’s only his soul left within him. But why is that he is still so strong that I can feel my heart pounding? Ma Sansou was cracking his head.
Inside of the blazing sun and bright moon, Zhong Yue’s spirits spreaded out their psyches and searched for Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie.
His psyche covered over ten thousand miles of land, scanning every inch of the perimeter even a thousand miles deep into the underground. Such a level of psyche was already comparable to those of gods!
After a few days, Zhong Yue’s twin spirits had made a round across the realm, having scanned every piece of land. But even after discovering the countless native living creatures of the realm, Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er were still nowhere to be found.
Indeed, the Song Realm was just as Ma Sansou had described. The living beings here all had beautiful voices. Everyone here was a natural singer, their voice seeming to be most in tune with the Dao.
Voices like these appeared to be incredibly similar to Feng Wuji’s【Skills of Diction】, only that they were far weaker in strength.
Feng Wuji’s【Skills of Diction】was a technique in and of itself, the language he spokewas the innate god’s language. Whereas the singers of Song Realm sings in resonance to the voice of Dao to cast the skills they desired.
This was also the root of why the Song Realm couldn’t nurture a great civilization—because they didn’t strengthen themselves but instead, merely just utilizing the power of nature.
Where would they be? Zhong Yue pondered. Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er must’ve went into hiding or otherwise the followers of King Geng would’ve found them already.
However, just how deep and well hidden were they? Even he couldn’t find them with his overpowering psyche!
After Zhong Yue took out the totem pillars and tried to connect to the ladies but to no avail, he couldn’t help but look at Ma Sansou and question in his heart if that brat had lied to him.
It was as if Ma Sansou could mind-read, as soon as Zhong Yue looked at him, he immediately raised his hands up in the air and shouted, “I did not lie! I swear I didn’t! If I lied, I swear that the heaven will punish me with the strongest lightning tribulation and I shall never have the chance to reincarnate!”
Zhong Yue’s psyche rumbled over, he said slowly, “Don’t need to swear in so badly. Even if you did lie, the heaven still wouldn’t have the chance to punish you.”
Ma Sansou shivered in fear, it was the first time he prayed so hard that Zhong Yue could find Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er in the Song Realm.
I thought Jin’er the【Mystical Infinite Transformation】and she mastered it. It’s possible that Jin’er has imparted it to Senior Martial Sister Jun. If they’ve changed their forms, it’s possible that they can escape my scans.
Zhong Yue thought, Now, I can only wait for them to find me. I’ve just cast out the Golden Crow and Star Toad to search for them. If they are really here in the Song Realm, they would’ve noticed my Sun Moon Twin Spirits and understood that it was me. Naturally, they would have come to me on their own.
However, he was worried about whether or not Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie had decided to reincarnate to escape King Geng’s followers. As if they did, they would’ve been reborn as a living being of the Song Realm, losing all their memories. Furthermore, the power of Six Paths and Reincarnation was not complete here, it would still be a mystery if they were able to successfully reincarnate.
I hope they didn’t. Zhong Yue stood and waited for days. All of a sudden, there were voices singing from far. They sounded like the voice of Dao, resonating with the nature’s power, sounded like a band of birds chirping and a phoenix mourning, or like a young lady singing in yearning for her lover.
Zhong Yue immediately opened his divine third eye and glanced over. The voices came from two clam ladies standing above the sea surface. They were looking at him from far, and the clamshell on their backs were fluttering like wings.
Zhong Yue cast the Six Paths Reincarnation and his mortal body returned to him for a few moments before disappearing again.
The two clam ladies exchanged a look, they begin to sing again while diving into the sea.
Zhong Yue strode behind their trails and Ma Sansou quickly followed. They followed the clam ladies and dived into the deep sea.
They followed down a pathway lightened up by bright pearls. Soon after, they’ve arrived at the front of a palace, there were young ladies swimming in and out of it.
Zhong Yue looked over and relaxed himself as soon as he noticed that the sea ladies were cultivating the Swords Gate cultivation technique. This would have been the works of Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie.
Whereas the palace itself wasn’t built by Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er but passed down from the ancient days.
Then, there was a voice that started singing within the palace. The language it sung was indiscernible, but the joy in it could be clearly felt. The abstrusities within the voice were far beyond any singers in this realm, some of it was even difficult for Zhong Yue to attain. However, as soon as he heard the voice, the totem patterns in his body started resonating to it.
Especially the Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation he had cultivated, it was resonating and reshaping in the voice of the singer. Some of the mistakes that even Zhong Yue and the Realm Lord didn’t notice were slowly corrected by the voice!
Not only that, but Zhong Yue could even vaguely feel his mortal body’s heart pounding in his chest as if his mortal body would recover anytime now.
“Brat Yue, it’s the song of the innate gods, sung in the language of the innate gods!” Xin Huo exclaimed, “Strange, did the Song Realm nurture an innate god? No, no, the Song Realm is far too young a realm to even nurture an innate god. Then it means that it was the innate god that created this realm. After the creation of the Song Realm, she rested sometime in this place and sung a song in here!”
Zhong Yue was dumbfounded and started imagining what happened here. A young lady created the Song Realm and its living beings. As the singers of Song Realm were dancing and singing happily, the young lady casually waved her hand and an ancient palace rose in the deep sea. When she was resting in the palace, she heard the singers and decided to express her joy by singing along with the singers.
Even after she leaving the Song Realm, her voice continued to linger eternally.
What a beautiful scene, what an amazing story.
So the ancient figure that experimented on the Six Paths Reincarnation in this Six Paths World was an innate lady god. Zhong Yue praised and in his heart and lamented at the same time, What a shame I wasn’t born earlier and am still too weak as well. I couldn’t witness her creating the realms and creating the Six Paths Reincarnation. However, it’s already a huge blessing to be able to listen to her sing.
Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er was trapped in the Song Realm and had spent thirty years in here alongside the innate god’s song. It would only be natural for them to see a huge leap in strength.
“Guests, the palace masters have been waiting for long.” One of the clam ladies walked out of the palace and bowed at them.
Zhong
Yue strode into the palace while he ordered, “Sansou, wait outside until I return.”
Ma Sansou obediently stopped outside of the palace. When Zhong Yue walked into the palace, he saw two lovely young ladies standing before him. One appeared to be like a heroine and the other an affectionate lady in love.
“Jin’er, senior martial sister…” Zhong Yue’s psyche shuddered in utter joy, he strode toward the ladies but suddenly stopped seconds before hugging them. He hadn’t recovered his mortal body and was still in his skeleton form, he was afraid that he would frighten them.
Jun Sixie chortled at him and walked over, openly hugging onto his skeleton body, she said laughingly, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, you are you. No matter what you become, I still won’t be afraid of you.”
Zhong Yue hugged her back as he opened his mouth and laughed soundlessly.
“But you are still sorta stiff to hug.” Jun Sixie teased.
Qiu Jin’er also came over and clung herself into his arms. Zhong Yue hugged her back but didn’t dare to use too much strength in fear of hurting her.
After they reunite, Zhong Yue looked at the ladies and praised again. They were much stronger than before.
Qiu Jin’er had opened the Bloodline Wheel and formed the sixth wheel, whereas Jun Sixie had awakened her Innate True Spirit but still had yet to open the sixth realm.
Clearly, they both had their own fortuitous encounters to have improved greatly.
Zhong Yue’s pyshce rumbled and asked, “How did the two of you end up here?”
Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er exchanged a look, and Qiu Jin’er said, “I’ve taken away one of King Geng’s fortunes, it was a godly ray that allowed me to open the Bloodline Wheel. After that, we sought refuge in this realm. Here, we met a few singers and they led us here where we continued to stay. Not long ago, senior martial sister and I noticed senior martial brother’s psyche through the sea. She took the form of a mermaid and surfaced to observe the abnormally. She saw the blazing sun with the Golden Crow and suspected it was you.”
