This planet did not belong to any of the 3,000 Six Paths World out there, it was just like a lonely planet that exiled itself.
And somewhere extremely far away, they vaguely saw a Six Paths Realm that illuminated brightly but somehow, it was very far away.
“Why is this friend of yours staying in such a place?” asked the puzzled ones.
“She was exiled.”
Heavenly King Lu explained, “That Six Paths World is called Yong Ming Six Paths World. The Realm Monarch from Yong Ming Six Paths World had no choice but to have her move out from his Six Paths World for safety purposes. Hence, along with the planet she resided in, she was hurled into this place and has not to returned to Yong Ming Six Paths World.”
Bai Canghai was angered by this answer and he couldn’t help but shout angrily, “We did not choose to unleash such disasters! How could you all exile us?”
Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud on the other hand, all shook and they thought, You are saying this because you have yet to awaken your Curse Spirit. If you did, just see how many are still brave enough to get close to you.
“Why is she not valued by the Realm Monarch then?”
Asked a confused Zhong Yue, “If she is so strong, shouldn’t she supposed to be valued deeply?”
Heavenly King Lu lamented right away, “She was born in the wrong time. With the Heavenly Monarch in charge of Zi Wei Galaxy, the Realm Monarchs in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, the universe is now a calm place with no major wars, which rendered the Innate Curse Spirit Bodies useless. Not only that, but along with the Innate Curse Spirit Bodies, the Million Venom Spirit Body, the Seven Slaughtering Spirit Body, and the Northern Dipper Spirit Body all became extremely useless and they could at most only obtain a puny in the Heaven Courts.”
As they were talking, Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror flew closer and closer to the planet. Zhong Yue and the others got out from the mirror and when they looked at the planet, they noticed that this planet was covered with lush greens and colorful flowers; there were beautiful plants everywhere, birds flew freely around and exotic creators roamed around. Everything seemed so peaceful and alluring and this place was nothing like how Zhong Yue and the others imagined.
“She really can control her Curse Spirit already!”
Heavenly King Lu let out a relieved breath and he shouted, “Lady Fei Yan, do you think to remember this old man?”
“Brother Lu! Is that you?”
A lady’s voice came from the planet, filled with surprise and joy, “And here I was wondering who was the one that intruded my territory. Brother Lu, it has been a very long time since your last visit and I thought you’ve forgotten about me! You must have passed by the bad luck circle and I assume you are all well?”
Zhong Yue looked towards the direction where the voice came from and all he saw was that a lady dressed like an ordinary villager stood in a garden. This lady appeared to be harvesting flowers and right now, she was looking right at them.
And this was not how Zhong Yue imagined she would dress for it really is abnormal that a Celestial Emperor dressed like that.
This lady looked astonishingly innocent and unassuming, which was not even close to Zhong Yue’s imagination. Instead of looking like a ferocious woman, she looked more like a girl in the neighborhood who was always lively and cheered up.
“It’s just a bad luck circle, how can it possibly hurt us?”
Heavenly King Lu led everyone into the planet and he shouted, “Lady Fei Yan, when I visited you last time, you were just a Deity Overlord but look at you now! Congratulations on advancing into the level of Deity Emperor.”
The lady however, replied in a rather sad tone, “Staying alone is quite boring and it can be torturing. With nothing to do, all I can do is cultivate to pass time.”
With no one daring to come close, this lady resided here all alone. To kill her time, all she did was plant flowers and trees and she spent her remaining time in cultivation.
Zhong Yue and his companion then got to the garden where there was no road. They immediately flew slightly higher in the air to prevent from stampeding these alluring flowers and Heavenly King Lu shouted, “I came here with good news! You are not alone anymore!”
He called upon Bai Canghai and said while smiling, “I found another Curse Spirit Body, but he knows no way to cultivate it. Thus, I’ve brought him to you.”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan was shocked and overjoyed, she quickly looked at Bai Canghai and said happily, “He is really another Innate Curse Spirit Body! Big Brother Lu, thank you! From now on, I’m not alone anymore, I have an accompany!”
She took over Bai Canghai’s hands and dragged him to her side, happily examining the young Bai Zhe Clan member from head to toe.
Bai Canghai’s face blushed red like a tomato while Celestial Emperor Fei Yan said with a smile, “Look at him, what a shy boy! What are you embarrassed for? I am a celestial emperor, born countless years before you, I am your senior. Although I may look young, I am a few thousand years older than you.”
Only then, Bai Canghai eased his heart, he smiled and greeted, “Granny….”
Kacha—
A flash of lightning came out of nowhere and struck on Bai Canghai. His skins charred black and his seven apertures were smoking.
Zhong Yue and the others were shocked, they immediately distanced themselves away from Bai Canghai while Celestial Emperor Fei Yan said while smiling, “What did you call me?”
Bai Canghai spurt out a mouthful of smoke, he said softly, “Aunt…”
A dragon bird flew past the sky, shitting in mid-air and covered the pity child in its manure.
“Elder sister!” Bai Canghai crawled his way out of the mountainous manure and said, “Oh no, not elder sister. You are Little Sister Fei Yan. I know my mistake me now, forgive me please!”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan smiled ear to ear, she punched her nose and waved her hands, “Go and clean up yourself. You smell awful. Oh yes, the dragon bird’s dungs are incredibly corrosive. Big Brother Lu, they are?”
Heavenly King Lu and the others shuddered upon Bai Canghai’s horrible experience and when he heard Celestial Emperor Fei Yan asking, he quickly laughed and answered, “This is King Zhong, King Geng’s sworn brother. Bai Canghai is his friend, and this is the King’s woman.”
Yi Wanjun’s face blushed red, she shook her head and said, “Heavenly King, please don’t make any ridicule assumptions.”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan looked at Zhong Yue curiously and seconds later, she exclaimed in utter shock, “You can suppress the Innate Curse Spirit Body?”
Zhong Yue shook his head, he smiled, “I can’t, I’ve been through some terrible experiences too due to Brother Bai’s Innate Curse Spirit Body.”
“No, no! It can’t be right!” Celestial Emperor Fei Yan shook her head as she scrutinized the young man from top to bottom, “Your bad luck has nothing to do with us as if there is any, you’d be long dead already! The secrets in you, the things hidden within, the Innate Curse Spirit Body can’t do much to harm you! Strange, strange, how strange. What exactly has bestowed you with so much luck, or to be precise, destiny?”
Chapter 763: The Favor of Fate |
Zhong Yue thought for a moment and said, “Perhaps it could be the Pure Yang Dragon I cultivated under Bai Canghai’s aid?”
He saw through the surprise in Celestial Emperor Fei Yan so he immediately told her that he once gave out a Pure Yang Qi to save Bai Canghai, “This Pure Yang Dragon was on the opposite element with his Pure Yin Serpent God, which might have resulted in me being able to avoid the curse spirit of his.”
“Something’s not right. It’s definitely not like that.”
Fei Yan shook her head and said, “The Pure Yang Dragon might be able to restrain the Pure Yin Serpent God but they are both equally strong. It can at most only protect you but just now, when I secretly cursed you, my curse was repelled. Are you trying to say that the much weaker Bai Canghai back in the day
s actually cultivated a Pure Yang Dragon that could even nullify my curse?”
A cold shivered all the way down his spine right away hearing this and Zhong Yue immediately said, “You cursed me just now?”
The heart of Heavenly King Lu and the others tightened as well and he quickly said, “Yan Fei, this is my king’s sworn brother. You must not hurt him….”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan smiled and replied, “I know, which is why I did not bear any ill intentions. I was just curious after seeing the odd fate tied onto him so I wanted to test it out myself and I assume that I have my answer already.”
She took a look at Zhong Yue from head to toe, examined him carefully and said suddenly, “If I’m not wrong, you are probably the sole survivor of your race? A race once filled with glory and honor, a race that once stood at the top of the pyramid but this race has gone extinct by now, leaving only you behind. With that, the fate of the entire race now lies within you and this is why you were not affected by my curse spirit. Correct me if I’m wrong.”
Zhong Yue’s eyes twitched as he listened to Celestial Emperor Fei Yan narrated the tragedy happened to his race and he said bitterly, “There is one more person apart from me….”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan let out a relieved breath after her theory was confirmed by Zhong Yue; this lady was indeed a smart one for being able to see things no ordinary could see. She then said, “So that’s how it is. It is not a problem in my Curse Spirit but you are shouldering the fate of your entire race, a fate that is so strong that easily dwarfed my Curse Qi.”
She was now completely relaxed and the intrigued lady said, “So tell me, which race did you come from? This race is definitely a glorified and outstanding race back in the days to be able to bestow you with such overwhelming fate.”
“Are you sure about this?” Zhong Yue shook his head and said, “It might not be too good for you to be so curious about this and you may be dragged into a whirlpool of chaos.”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan might have seemed like a villager that wanted nothing to do with the chaotic world out there but deep down in her, she was not one that would sit out from this exciting world. She laughed and said, “What’s wrong with that? We are born for wars. Without wars, we are nothing more than just useless innate spirit bodies. If listening to your story would start a war, then I wouldn’t have to live here all alone anymore. Besides, we Curse Innate Spirit Body needed war to achieve even more. There is a limit to how much I can achieve if I continued shutting myself in here.”
Her eyes lit up as she spoke. It was clear that this Innate Curse Spirit Body did not wish to be exiled forever and she wanted to see the world for herself and even take part in a war to Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue inhaled deeply and he said, “There were 23 Heavenly Monarchs among my ancestors. They’ve ruled the Earth Order Era for almost a million years, bred countless talented individuals throughout their reign, developed the Six Paths and unified the Reincarnation. My race is….”
Upon hearing this, Celestial Emperor Fei Yan’s expression changed drastically; her face turned pale and she covered her ears right away as she shrieked, “Shut up! Shut up right now! Say no more, do not say that name! I don’t want to hear it!”
“My race is the Fuxi Celestial Race!”
But it was too late as Zhong Yue had already said it out loud, “80,000 years ago, the Fuxi Celestial Race faced a crisis that had them wiped out. Since then, they completely vanished from plain sight but this proud race will return one day. Celestial Emperor Fei Yan, if war is what you want to polish your skills and not let them go to waste, then I will give you war.”
Zhong Yue remained calm and said softly, “I can give you a war no one has ever seen, I can show you a heaven and earth dyed crimson red with the blood of the endless gods and demons and I can let you shine brightly with the outstanding talent of yours.”
His tone was also very calm and peaceful but behind his words, he showed a cruel and gory picture painted with blood and corpses.
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan shivered and after letting out a shriek, she ran away towards the far side and shouted, “I heard nothing!”
Pu tong—-
The lady dived right into a lake and a shout was heard right away; Bai Canghai was in the lake to wash away the dungs and when he saw the lady came charging into the lake, he stood up immediately and covered his chest in panic and surprise.
Zhong Yue on the other hand, laughed happily and shouted, “Celestial Emperor Fei Yan, I thought you just said that you are all born for war? Why did you run then? Is everything you said nothing hot air?”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan was cleaning her ears in the water as if she could actually erase everything she heard coming from Zhong Yue. Hearing his words, she immediately shouted back angrily and bitterly, “We are indeed born for wars and I am not one who is unwilling to rot silently in a corner. I yearn to experience wars exist only in legends so that I show my talent to the world, shine brightly and achieve much more than I can possibly desire but death is not what I seek! The only reason I’m willing to be exiled and not escape from here was because I do not want to die! After hearing your origins, I will be dead for sure if I am dragged into your chaotic affairs!”
Zhong Yue choked speechless for a second and he smiled and said, “Celestial Emperor Fei Yan, why do you not believe in me?”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan sneered right away, “I knew things were wrong right after I heard that there were 23 Heavenly Monarch that came from your race. One can only imagine how overwhelmingly strong your enemies are to be able to crush such a huge clan like yours. I regret deeply now for overestimating myself which made me demand you to reveal your race and now I have to face the music. Don’t you even dream of having me to aid you in your poisonous and suicidal mission! Death is never what I wanted!”
Being barely moved by her words and understanding just how crazy his mission sounded, Zhong Yue smiled and said, “You are right. People must know their limits and back off if things are out of their capabilities. If that is what you wished, then I will not force it.”
Upon acquiring Zhong Yue’s promise, Celestial Emperor Fei Yan felt relieved and this was when she noticed Bai Canghai was in the lake taking a bath not far away from her. Her face flushed slightly and she quickly got out from the lake.
After Zhong Yue’s revelation, she now looked at Zhong Yue like a dangerous disease and plague, making her reluctant to see him so she shouted, “King Zhong, if you want to succeed, you still need to do one thing.”
Zhong Yue knew that she was a Curse Innate Spirit Body, and as a celestial emperor, she must have her own unique ideas and experience far greater than Heavenly King Lu and the others, he said with respect, “Please, teach me.”
“Your race has been wiped out, making the fate of your race lies within you now but there are two survivors. One being you and the other being the other one, which is not a good thing. With the fate split into two portions, one with you and one with the other one, you will both achieve something great but in the end, there is still a limit to what you can achieve.”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan said from afar, “Your enemies are definitely more than just overwhelming and their amount is like the stars spread all over the galaxies. How can you possibly win against them if the fate of your race is split into two?”
Zhong Yue frowned right away as he already had an idea on what she was trying to tell so he said, “You are saying that….”
“Kill the other survivor, and take her destiny for yourself!” suggested Celestial Emperor Fei Yan, “With that, the destiny of the entire race would then rest upon you and you alone will achieve what no one could ever achieve. Along with that, the hope of avenging your race can potentially become a reality!”
Without hesitation, Zhong Yue rebutted, “There’s no way I’d do that!”
Heavenly King Lu and the others frowned as well for Celestial Emperor Fei Yan’s suggestion was way too unusual and out of expectation. Howe
ver, while it caught them off guard, her suggestion made sense in its own way as well.
If Zhong Yue actually managed to acquire the entire fate of the Fuxi Celestial Race for himself, perhaps not only will he be able to avenge the entire race, he might even achieve much more than his ancestors!
“Say no more.” Zhong Yue shook, “There is only one and a half survivor in the entire race now, one being her and half being me. How can I possibly kill her for such a thing as elusive as destiny? I am not one that believes in something like that. I believe that one’s own efforts and actions will take them further than what destiny ever will. If I were to go on a massive slaughtering spree against the innocents for such fate, then I don’t need it. Besides, if fate really plays an important role, I might as well put all my hopes on fate instead of cultivating.”
Heavenly King Lu on the side said right away, “King Zhong, it’s better that we believe it than completely rejecting it. What if it’s true and if you managed to acquire even more fate….”
With a smile that did not look like a smile, Zhong Yue answered, “If I kill her for such a reason, it means that I would kill all of you, you fellow companions who willingly followed my lead, for such weird reasons. Do you want to see King Geng’s death in my hands as well?”
Heavenly King Lu and the others became quiet right away and Celestial Emperor Qian Shan laughed suddenly, “That’s the King Zhong that even King Geng is willing to bow before and the King Zhong we all know!”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan however, did not approve of this and she said, “Enough with your idealistic nonsense! Perhaps it’s just you who thinks that way. The other Fuxi might already be on their way to kill you.”
Zhong Yue did not flinch at all and he replied, “If that happens and if the chaos rained upon this world one day, will you be on my side or her side….”
“Of course it’s you. You are after all less cold-blooded….”
As soon as she said this, she realized what Zhong Yue had just done and she lamented inwardly, “I shouldn’t have said that! If he used my words against me in the future, then things are going to be bad.”
