King Geng looked at Yi Wanjun and he laughed happily, “And I also know that you will never disguise yourself as a woman. Besides, only you are capable of making Jun Wudao follow you!”
They were now standing on one of the sacred grounds in a city within Heaven Realm. King Geng looked around quickly and shook his head, “This is no place to talk, let’s go to my place.”
Everyone entered the teleportal right away and not long later, they were at another sacred ground in a divine mountain. Zhong Yue looked around and realized that this place was a training camp for gods and demons. There were a total of 30,000 of them sparring against each other.
“Realm Monarch Chang Ming sees me as a great talent. When I arrived here, he discovered me right away and made me the commander for his naval army of 30,000 capable soldiers.”
King Geng led them to the commander’s tent located at the center and said, “I accepted this offer right away. He needed me to harass Realm Monarch Yunshan and I needed his power to build my own powerbase against Realm Monarch Yunshan.”
Upon reaching the tent, Zhong Yue and the others removed their disguises and sat down. Heavenly King Lu laughed and said, “As a capable leader, King Geng has always been a reliable commander of the late Realm Monarch. It really is a waste of talent that you are assigned as the commander for the naval army.”
King Geng shook his head at this comment and just as he was about to say something else, a voice came from the outside of the tent saying, “King Geng, you are indeed a genius in training soldiers! In just a few years time, you’ve organized the army well and even sped up their growth! It seems like my decision was right!”
King Geng’s expression changed slightly upon hearing this voice and he quickly transmitted his voice into Zhong Yue’s mind, “It’s Realm Monarch Chang Ming!”
Zhong Yue moved right away; he changed his looks again, reversing his bloodline but it was too late. The tent’s flap wavered and the dimension shook as a giant walked into the tent laughing, “King Geng, I see that you have some important guests here. I assume these are the renowned Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud?”
The giant glanced around and his eyes quickly met with Zhong Yue who did not manage to avoid in time and the two of them were stunned.
King Geng’s expression changed even more upon seeing this and he began to feel uneasy; though Zhong Yue had changed his looks and bloodline, he was not sure if this was enough to keep Realm Monarch Chang Ming from seeing through his identity!
After all, this was a Creator with power beyond their knowledge!
And this giant was indeed one with great strength; on his face, there was a huge eye that gave off blazing stare. With just a glance, Zhong Yue’s bones started to creak and he could no longer manage to maintain his disguise!
Zhong Yue was only able to helplessly look at Realm Monarch Chang Ming as he was completely exposed.
They’d seen each other before; back in the lighthouse, this giant used his one eye to show a path to Zhong Yue, leading him into the lighthouse and teleporting him away!
And this giant was one of the reborn Fuxi that attacked Bo Luo Six Paths World!
100,000 years ago, they were all from the same race!
Or so this giant claimed.
As for Zhong Yue, he did not see this coming, not even the slightest. He had never once thought that this giant that had saved him was the Realm Monarch of the Tuo Shan Six Paths World!
If that giant at that time was Realm Monarch Chang Ming, then it would make sense to assume that the others have similarly illustrious backgrounds…. Thought a dumbfounded Zhong Yue.
Their two gazes met and the only eyebrows of this giant frowned right away. He shifted his vision from King Geng to the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud and he remained silent.
Zhong Yue mirrored his action while Keng Geng and the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud began to sweat nervously as they worried that Realm Monarch Chang Ming would turn hostile after learning of Zhong Yue’s true identity!
With his strength, I am not his match!
“Realm Monarch, I suppose there is no need for any killing intent,” said Zhong Yue out of nowhere, “King Geng and I took an oath and we are now sworn brothers. He knows that I am a Fuxi since a long time ago and he will not sell me out. Realm Monarch, please calm down.”
King Geng and Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud’s mind went blank right away and they looked at Zhong Yue in disbelief.
Zhong Yue actually told Realm Monarch Chang Ming not to kill them?
Was it not supposed to be that the Realm Monarch would kill Zhong Yue instead of them? How did it become such a scene where they are to be killed for Zhong Yue’s sake?
“I see.”
Realm Monarch Chang Ming nodded and said, “I never thought we would meet again so soon. What is your plan? You do know that it’s not very wise to run around like that. If I can expose you, the other Realm Monarchs surely can too.”
Zhong Yue smiled and replied, “I’m preparing to head towards Lei Zhe and complete the ascension ceremony.”
With a nod, Realm Monarch said, “Good, have a safe trip.”
He was sending Zhong Yue off right away.
With that said, he was telling Zhong Yue that he did not wish Zhong Yue to linger around anymore and wanted Zhong Yue to leave for Lei Zhe immediately.
Zhong Yue was speechless. He then held onto Yi Wanjun’s hand as he left the tent and headed towards the portal.
Meanwhile, in the main tent, Realm Monarch Chang Ming sat at the main seat and he slowly closed his single eye. He tapped his finger at the chair’s handle in the silent tent.
The only sound that could be heard was the rhythmic tapping of his finger. Each time the Realm Monarch tapped, King Geng and the Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud seemed to feel the impact on their hearts. His tapping left their body trembling as if Realm Monarch Chang Ming could crush their heart right away if he applied more strength.
“The Fuxi told me not to kill you all but I may not do what he says.”
Sometime later, Realm Monarch Chang Ming said with his eye closed, “He is still naive. He thought that sworn brothers would not betray him, but heh, he truly has no idea of the power of greed in this era….”
He said this mockingly as if remonstrating himself in the past. Thunderous winds blew all over the army camp and the sky had become multiple shades darker.
As a Creator, the heaven and earth could be swayed by his moods and thoughts. This raging weather signified that he was recalling something that was a deep source of anguish for him.
King Geng then suddenly said, “Your Majesty, if my brother wants to stand up against his enemies, he won’t succeed if he’s alone.”
“Go on….” said Realm Monarch Chang Ming slowly.
King Geng continued, “If you kill us, his brothers, who will dare to follow him? How is he supposed to gather enough men to fight against this world? Do you plan on it being just the two of you?”
The raging weather calmed down for a brief moment, but Realm Monarch Chang Ming still had his eye closed. The Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud were uneasy as Realm Monarch Chang Ming closed his eye because he was still thinking of the consequences of killing them. If he decided to open his eye, it meant that he had finally resolved to kill them, and they would be able to do nothing in response!
So, why are his eyes still closed?
When he opens his eye, will he let us go or kill us?
At this moment, footsteps could be heard coming from the outside as Zhong Yue’s voice echoed out, “I forgot to say this but King Geng is my younger brother. King Geng, farewell now, you don’t have to send me off.”
His footsteps gradually furthered and Realm Monarch Chang Ming slowly opened his eye as well. He got up and said, “The Fuxi views all of you with enough favor that he returned to speak up for you. I hope you know what you’re doing. Know this, I am no stranger to killing even my own brothers. The blood of a traitor will not w
eigh on my mind at all….”
King Geng and Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud nodded in response. After Realm Monarch Chang Ming left, they felt relieved and they looked at each other while their heart still pounded quickly.
King Geng did not know how to feel and suddenly, he laughed and said, “Back then when he convinced me to take an oath, I thought he was just trying to seek protection from me but in the end, it was me who became the one that relied on him!”
One thing was for sure, King Geng did not feel good; he wanted to take care of Zhong Yue, but it always worked out to be the other way around.
“Dear brothers, how did you manage to recover your eyes?” asked King Geng after that.
“It was King Zhong that helped us lift the seals.” Heavenly King Lu answered.
King Geng’s eyes widened right away and after a long time, he sighed and said, “Seems like I really need to admit that brother is indeed better than me….”
Meanwhile, in the Lei Zhe Galaxy, the skies shook and four Bi Xie Rhinos pulling a carriage emerged from the void. The carriage charged into the Hell and the real world before entering the Lei Zhe Galaxy.
After they arrived at the Lei Zhe Galaxy, Zhong Yue brought Yi Wanjun down the carriage and he shouted, “Fuxi’s Zhong Yue has come to complete the ascension ceremony. May I have permission from the clan master!?”
Chapter 769: Young Lei Zhe |
In the Lei Zhe Continent, the Leizhe Celestial Race’s magnates walked out after hearing his voice. Zhong Yue looked around and sensed the presence of numerous experts coming from the outer Lei Zhe Galaxy that seemed to have been sent by Realm Monarch Lei Zhe to keep an eye on the Lei Zhe Galaxy.
But this time, when he entered Lei Zhe Galaxy using his other methods, not even the soldiers garrisoned outside were alerted.
Besides, there were countless planets formed by thunder and lightning within the Lei Zhe Galaxy and these planets came together in numerous formations. With these formations, no one was able to peer into the depths of this galaxy, meaning that after entering this galaxy, no matter what he did, no one from the outside would be alerted.
“Cousin, you have returned so fast. Does this means that you are confident that you will succeed?”
The old clan master walked out with a shivering body; seven years after their last meeting, this old man had grown even older and the Dao and energy within his body started to fade.
He did not have much longer left.
And this was the end to all and only the innate gods could jump out from the cycle of life and death as they have achieved immortality.
“No, I can’t guarantee anything.”
Zhong Yue greeted the old clan master and said, “But I should try no matter what. I will ascend into a god even if I fail.”
The old clan master nodded and was puzzled after seeing Yi Wanjun dressed up as a man, but he did not ask and said, “Come with me.”
“Before that, I have one request. Can clan master have someone make arrangements for this lady here?” said Zhong Yue.
The old clan master then had someone bring Yi Wanjun into the sacred ground for cultivation and when he brought Zhong Yue to the sacred palace, he opened the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm and said, “Cousin, I have one request.”
Zhong Yue who was about to enter Lei Zhe Realm stopped. He was surprised at the old clan master making a request; with his low level, he probably couldn’t fulfill the old clan master’s request.
“Please, clan master.”
With a serious expression, the old clan master said, “My death is near, I can feel it. The Lei Zhe Galaxy is the last pure land of the Leizhe Celestial Race and it must not be infiltrated by the outsiders! However, those ill-hearted outsiders have always been trying to get their hands in our power. After my death, they will definitely invade us. I hope that you’ll be there when the time comes to help defend the final paradise of my Leizhe Celestial Race.”
With a nod, Zhong Yue said seriously before he walked into the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm, “I will! do whatever it takes!”
In the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm, Zhong Yue walked into the air until he reached the 48th level. Last time, he ran into the Desolate Lightning in this level and he almost had his soul evaporated by the Desolate Lightning.
But now, with the Pure Yang Dao Fruit he consumed and the difficulty he went through in the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, he had awakened almost 50 percent of his Fuxi bloodline. After the battle with the evil being and the [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture] taught to him by the last Fuxi Heavenly Monarch, he was confident in passing through the Desolate Lightning Lei Zhe!
In the 48th level, a Desolate Lightning struck down from the skies but Zhong Yue did not move an inch as he allowed the Desolate Lightning struck onto him. The lightning burned his flesh, leaving a wound at least two inches deep.
The wound, however, healed with visible speed and not a scar was left on him.
I have yet achieve the innate body but I can still overcome this level with my current body easily.
Zhong Yue did not rush things but instead went on to capture the Desolate Lightning, melting them with the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture]. After being trapped within the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror for 30 billion years, he had cultivated this art into a tremendously high level, bestowing him a very deep understanding of the Six Paths Reincarnation.
Thus, the 48th level Lei Zhe was nothing to him anymore, but since he knew that his body was far from evolving into the innate body, he did not rush things and he enhanced his body with the Desolate Lightning.
Thunder roared and lightning howled as Zhong Yue bathed himself in them, swallowing one after another Desolate Lightning from time to time before he enjoyed the thunder and lightning bath.
A month time later, the Desolate Lightning ceased to leave any marks on his body anymore.
Suddenly, Zhong Yue moved; he cast an avatar that turned him into a giant and with his mouth opened, he devoured the Desolate Lightning within the 48th level Lei Zhe!
Thunder roared and rumbled within his body for ten days until it eventually stopped.
He then entered the 49th level Lei Zhe.
This level posed no threat to him as well, thus, he repeated the same thing again, bathing himself in the thunder pool for a month and devouring the Desolate Lightning.
From then on, each level became a cultivation sacred ground for him to cultivate and temper himself even further.
His body grew ever stronger and the thunder and lightning he encountered continued to intensify but still fell short of leaving any injuries on his body.
A few years later, Zhong Yue stepped foot on the 70th level and this was when Xin Huo warned, “Brat Yue, beware of the thunder and lighting here. They are no longer the Desolate Lightning and Innate Lightning Qi, but the Origin Celestial Lightning, one of the strongest lightning and thunder!”
Upon entering this level, Zhong Yue finally felt the pressure. The power of the Origin Celestial Lightning was leagues above that of the Desolate Lightning and Innate Lightning Qi’s league. While it possessed destructive force, it also contained a sliver of life essence.
Zhong Yue struggled to press forward in this level, but half a year later, he finally entered the 71st level, which he still managed to get through.
From then on, in each level, the difficulty of getting through skyrocketed. The time needed to clear a level had now prolonged to at least half a year. But eventually, he had reached the 80th level.
Xin Huo once told him that even he himself failed to reach the 80th level. It had to be a young genius who had the potential to become a Heavenly Monarch succeed.
At this time, Zhong Yue’s body inched closer to the innate body. As his body strength intensified, the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] in his body became a furnace that burned forever and his Yuan Shen was in it, bestowing him with energy that was strong enough to destroy a world!
Now, the [Desolate Lightning He
avenly Furnace Scripture] in his body felt like there was a blazing red sun hidden in his body!
“What is in the 80th level?”
Zhong Yue murmured and after recollecting his mind, he looked around only to see an Innate Celestial Dragon floating in front of him.
It was a living Innate Celestial Dragon!
The Innate Celestial Dragon then turned into his human form, which appeared to be a young man with dragon head and human body. He stood in the vast Ancient Lei Zhe and he appeared to be very lonely.
“This Innate Celestial Dragon is just an incarnation of Lei Zhe.” said Xin Huo softly.
“Lei Zhe’s incarnation? Is that….”
Zhong Yue was shocked as the Lei Zhe in Xin Huo’s mouth was not the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm and not the Lei Zhe Galaxy, but the mutual ancestor of the Fuxi Celestial Race, Great Sui and the human race. He was the first Innate Celestial Dragon!
“This Innate Celestial Dragon was created by Lei Zhe using his own blood and flesh. It was endowed with a portion of Lei Zhe’s power. The dragon was placed here as an examination tool for the Sui Sovereign and Fuxi.” said Xin Huo softly, “His level is now at the Imminent Deity’s Extreme level. The only way to get through him is by defeating him.”
Zhong Yue’s expression turned serious right away as he readied himself to face this examination!
“The 80th level is the young Lei Zhe, then what is in the 81st level?” asked Zhong Yue.
“There is nothing there. This young Innate Celestial Dragon is the final test. Only after defeating hi will you be able to reach the next level and obtain the Innate Dao Fruit!” said Xin Huo.
Suddenly, the Innate Celestial Dragon turned his head and as he looked at Zhong Yue, he rebutted, “Xin Huo, you’re wrong. There is another test in the 81st level.”
Xin Huo’s mind went blank for a split second hearing this and he shouted, “Impossible! There wasn’t even a test on the 81st level when my previous inheritors came here!”
“I am the one who created the Ancient Lei Zhe Realm. If I say that there is a test, then there will be a test.
With a deep gaze, the young Lei Zhe said calmly, “There wasn’t one before but now, there is. So, are you ready, Fuxi’s young man?”
