Zhong Yue kept his saber aside and right now, the men Yuan Shaotang brought along were all dead and he added, “There is no need to reason with a trash like him! We might as well just cut him half and kill him!”
Zhong Yue continued, “Dear monarchs, let me introduce you to this lady standing right here. This is the lord I serve. Today, she is here personally to show her respect and sincerity, Queen Goddess on the other hand, do you think she even dares to show herself before us today?”
Gracefully and elegantly, Mu Xiantian greeted the two monarchs and smiled, “My Dao companions, how are you doing?”
Monarch Yang Zun and Monarch Chang Sheng’s vision locked onto Mu Xiantian and the two intensely surprised monarchs shouted, “Mu Xiantian? You are still alive? But we saw you dying in the hands of Di Ming and Queen Goddess, there was no escape for you!”
Monarch Chang Sheng added, “Is that sacred ground located by Di Ming a fake? You are resurrected, aren’t you? No, there is no way that it would be this quick! The sacred ground can’t revive you that quickly!”
Chapter 1151: Two Ladies Fighting Over The Throne |
The two monarchs were a little confused and Mu Xiantian giggled, “My friends, you are a little in disorder.”
Just like what she said, these two monarchs had lost their cool but they soon recomposed themselves. They stared at Mu Xiantian skeptically; this lady was indeed an innate god, she also bore some resemblance to Mu Xiantian but was way too beautiful ad alluring, making it hard for them to believe that she was Mu Xiantian.
Perhaps… King Yi and King Zi Guang found someone to pretend to be Mu Xiantian so that they can use this fake to hold the forces together?
The monarchs started suspecting Mu Xiantian’s identity again and quickly forgot the death of Yuan Shaotang.
Monarch Yang Zun blinked and said, “Why are you a woman right now? How did you escape death back in the fight? Do you mind explaining to us what happened?”
Mu Xiantian giggled and seductively said, “Don’t be too surprised, I am Dark Monarch’s disciple, one that truly inherited his core heritage so it’s not surprising that I have some protective abilities.”
Hearing this, the two monarchs fell into immense shock and they quickly suppressed their shock.
These two were not stupid, they immediately had a grasp on what Mu Xiantian was planning by faking her death. She wanted Queen Goddess to kill Di Ming because of Queen Goddess’s lust for power. She waited for Queen Goddess to reveal herself and her power, forcing them into surrendering to Mu Xiantian.
She killed two birds with one stone.
But now, Queen Goddess’s army was before their walls, pushing them to a dead end where every decision was related to their survival. If they did not surrender to Mu Xiantian, they would be dead for sure.
What Mu Xiantian and the others sought for definitely couldn’t hide from them, but they were, after all, once at the same level, so it was definitely unpleasant for them to lower their head before Mu Xiantian.
Besides, thinking of this, the two monarchs’ expression was indescribable. The Mu Xiantian standing before them was now a lady, speaking with the voice of a lady and acting like one, which puzzled them greatly.
Mu Xiantian’s movements, her smile, and her gaze, were immensely attractive, posing a striking distinction compared to the proud and capable Xian Tian Imperial Emperor and the savage and ruthless Mu Xiantian. No wonder the two monarchs were confused.
With her bright eyes, Mu Xiantian gave them a gentle stare and continued, “Senior martial brothers, Queen Goddess’s army is right before you and are on the process of praying towards the Panhu monarchs. Anymore hesitation and you will be beyond saving.”
Monarch Yang Zun calmly replied, “Dao Friend Xian Tian, are you here to talk us into surrendering to you?”
Mu Xiantian smiled back, “Perhaps, you both are still keen on the throne?”
With a sigh, Monarch Yang Zun shook, “No.”
Monarch Chang Sheng too, shook, “I am no match for you, neither am I a match for Queen Goddess, I’ve already dropped that poisonous dream.”
Mu Xiantian added, “Then why are you not considering working for me? If I sit the throne, I will promise you a great future, that’s my word to you.”
Monarch Yang Zun smiled, “Dao Friend Xian Tian, forgive me but I see no difference in surrendering to you or Queen Goddess, not to mention that the Queen Goddess has the upper hand right now. With so many wise strategists and powerful generals serving her, she did what you couldn’t — killing Di Ming. This alone convinced me that you are not as capable as her and not worthy to become the Heavenly Monarch, at least not now.”
Monarch Chang Sheng added, “Dao Friend Xian Tian, I acknowledge that you are very strong or you wouldn’t even manage to escape from Di Ming and Queen Goddess, but Queen Goddess is just plain stronger. Her power is only a few steps away from conquering this universe. If we surrender to her, this whole mess would end quicker and the damage would be minimized. If we surrender to you, however, we would only grant you an equal ground against Queen Goddess, and we’d wind up prolonging this war and the people will only suffer because of this decision.”
“Wrong!”
Mu Xiantian said decisively, “In truth, I am already standing on equal ground with her. To be frank, the Mu Xiantian and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian you know is just part of me, if I became a monarch, then I would be three Monarch Xian Tian!”
This revelation left Monarch Chang Sheng and Monarch Yang Zun in extreme shock and they looked at her in disbelief.
An entity, three bodies, three monarchs!
Three innate monarchs?
Perhaps, not even the ancient ones told only in legends were capable of what Mu Xiantian achieved?
This news was truly shocking, an entity with both the element of celestial and demon, Mu Xiantian alone was three monarchs, such a thing had never happened was and unheard of, not to mention that he was an innate god!
Previously, when Mu Xiantian’s demon true body ascended into a monarch, they started suspecting him to be one of celestial and demon, possessing two bodies. The truth, however, turned out to be even more frightening. He actually had three bodies, one man with three bodies and if all became a monarch, Mu Xiantian would be unstoppable!
King Zi Guang’s vision shifted between the two monarchs, observed their expression and added, “Great monarchs, your power is crippled by Queen Goddess while our Xian Tian Palace is gradually growing stronger. Can you still not see how is this going? Queen Goddess, is just a woman that anyone could sleep with, a whore with an ill heart. Have you forgotten just how heroic Heavenly Monarch Di Ming himself was and how he was killed by the woman he loved the most, the one he slept with every night! How could you not be worried after surrendering to a wretch like her? How would you place your reputation pledging service to her? The shame and humiliation you put onto the honourable Zhongyang Clan that gave birth to five monarchs and great Changsheng Clan, have you thought about this?”
The monarchs’s expression looked awful at this moment, Queen Goddess’s unexpected betrayal and the death of Di Ming had indeed left them terrified. This woman was cunning and ill-hearted beyond limit!
They too, were worried about Queen Goddess, restless about their own safety if they surrendered. That was why they did not surrender. They had their own pride as well and just as King Zi Guang said, it would impact their reputation if they surrendered to a whore like Queen Goddess!
Zhong Yue gave another push, “If you work with us, we will be powerful enough to turn the tables immediately. Queen Goddess is still some distance away from absorbing the Heaven Court’s entire army, if we strike now, she will be forced to back off temporarily. When it comes to warfare….”
“None of them can stop me,” said Zhong Yue confidently.
Monarch Chang Sheng thought for a second and said, “Now, what we want to know the most is, our gain. What would we get in turn if we surrender to you, Dao Friend Xian
Tian?”
Monarch Yang Zun added, “We’re not doing this for ourselves, upon reaching this level where we stand now, the so called wealth is nothing but dust in our eyes. What we want is something that could benefit our race. Dao Friend Xian Tian, what can you give us?”
With extreme seriousness and formality, Mu Xiantian said, “I understand that dividing the land into equal portions and split it among ourselves upon victory is nothing but a lie. What I propose is I will set up four deputy monarchs, split Zi Wei into four sections, north, south, east and west. The centre of Zi Wei will be where I reside and the four sections will be placed under the four monarchs serving me, a miniature Heaven Court can be set up too if desired to safeguard the Heaven Court. Once I rule this universe, I will name you both deputy monarchs.”
King Zi Guang frowned slightly as he felt that this was inappropriate. Upon ruling this world and separate it into four sections, it meant that Mu Xiantian was also dividing his power and rights as the Heavenly Monarch, which might breed unnecessary threat and allow the four deputy monarchs to overthrow the Heavenly Monarch.
This would not be a problem while Mu Xiantian was the Heavenly Monarch, but once the successor was slightly incapable, the four deputy monarchs would become major threats that would plunge the world into chaos again!
However, as a subject, it would be inappropriate for him to voice his objection to the lord publicly, besides, if their offer was not attractive enough, the two monarchs would not be bought over easily.
Monarch Chang Sheng asked, “What about the ancient universe?”
Mu Xiantian burst out laughing and said, “It will be divided into three empires, ruled by three deputy monarchs.”
With a glance exchange, the two monarchs took in a deep breath and Monarch Yang Zun voiced out, “Chaos Pact!”
“As you wish!”
Mu Xiantian stood up and the three existences’ psyche gushed out; amidst the dimensions, chaotic Qi flowed and after some time, the Qi condensed into a mirror like pool and within it were one after another Chaotic Divine Turtles swimming in the water but everything was vague because of the insane distance.
The three existences’ psyche connected with the Daos, signed the Chaos Pact in the chaos pool as the pool started whirling and disappeared.
The contract was signed and it disappeared into Chaos. This Chaos Pact’s power was greater than the Heavenly Dao Oath, its retaliation power was even greater; if one broke the oath, the chaos would strike not from the outside but Chaos, appearing straight inside the person’s body, spreading quickly like a disease, swallowing his body and essence before finally, the person would disappear from this world entirely.
Not even the monarchs were strong enough to withstand this power.
After signing the Chaos Pact, the three existences let out a relieved breath at the same time.
“Now, what should we do? Against Queen Goddess’s army?” asked Monarch Yang Zun immediately.
King Zi Guang replied in the next second, “All we need to do is have His Majesty and the two great monarchs to sit on the wall and watch, as King Yi’s Heaven Breaching Fortress sneak up and force them back.”
Mu Xiantian and the two monarchs did as King Zi Guang said, they got onto the walls and sat on the stage, observed from afar as Heaven Breaching Fortress’ soldiers marched forth steadily.
Not long later, Queen Goddess emerged with Monarch Qing He and Monarch Jin Tian and their expression was a little awful.
“Xian Tian, so you’re still alive and there’s even the third body, which is a lady.”
Queen Goddess walked out, without the monarchs guarding her and Mu Xiantian too, approached her. The two ladies stood at the front of their camp and with a seductive smile, Queen Goddess said, “So you’re the real one, since you are brave enough to come and see me.”
Mu Xiantian too, was alluringly beautiful and she said, “You slept with me, do you want me to voice out your secrets to prove that I’m real?”
Queen Goddess’s smile froze on her face and she felt uncomfortable about sleeping with a lady. Thankfully, the Mu Xiantian back then was a man and that eased Queen Goddess slightly.
“You and I slept with each other and Xian Tian, you are a lady now, two ladies fighting each other for the throne, this is something that has never happened before.”
Queen Goddess smiled, “You and I, be it who won and sat onto the throne, our story would be told as a legend.”
Mu Xiantian shook her head and said, “If you won, you won through sleeping with every man and killing your own husband who treasured you greatly. Your reputation is doomed and you will be in eternal disgrace.”
Queen Goddess smirked, “And if you win, you won through playing dead, to think that an innate god needed to fake her own death to win! How shameless!”
The two ladies then grinned at each other and the atmosphere intensified right away.
The soldiers from both sides got tensed up and all they needed was an order from their lord to lay waste to the enemies. With an order, heads would be cut off, blood would form a bloody river and countless lives would be extinguished.
Suddenly, Queen Goddess giggled, “Xian Tian, how am I supposed to address you now? Sister or my love? Now I finally know why you are nicknamed sissy.”
She started walking back, leaving a slightly awkward Mu Xiantian on the field who quickly recovered and returned.
Upon entering to her own camp, a young god approached Queen Goddess and he bowed, “Your Majesty, King Yi’s army is arriving any time soon. Without entirely acquiring full control over the Heaven Court, I suggest we avoid a direct fight with King Yi’s elite force.”
“Retreat!” shouted Queen Goddess as she waved.
Chapter 1152: Unfathomable Heart, Like A Needle In The Ocean |
“Senior Martial Brother Chang Sheng, if you ever see Ancient Mother Di Lin, please warn her about the Tree of Life, and also about Queen Goddess and Yuan Ya Deity King.”
Some days later, after the enemies retreated, in the abandoned camps, Zhong Yue found a chance alone with Monarch Chang Sheng and he warned, “Ancient Mother Di Lin is the Tree of Life’s core, if she ran into the tree, her existence would be erased after being sucked back into the tree. And once she returns to the tree, the tree will come back to life and start growing again. Yuan Ya Deity King is keen on obtaining the whole Tree of Life and he will do anything to find Ancient Mother Di Lin.”
Monarch Chang Sheng smiled, “Ancient Mother Di Lin is the mother peach tree from 100,000 years ago. With the first Six Paths World destroyed and the Heaven Court turned into Returning Ruins, Yuan Ya Deity King probably thinks that the mother peach tree is already crushed by the Returning Ruins black hole.”
Zhong Yue shook his head and said, “Yuan Ya has this saint herb called the Wall Painting Flower and its a very powerful herb, it could locate any items exactly so he probably knows about Ancient Mother Di Lin’s location already. It’s just that he did not have the time. But now, Great Si Ming is resurrected and so is the tree, which means that its time Yuan Ya Deity King acted.”
Monarch Chang Sheng’s mind flinched and he said, “If he really has something like that, there’s no way I can hide Ancient Mother Di Lin away from him!”
Zhong Yue smiled, “Don’t worry, I stole it from him and this herb is now with me.”
Monarch Chang Sheng was stunned for a second and he speechlessly shook his head, “Aren’t you a little too daring? Hmmm, without the saint herb, all I have to do is just have Ancient Mother Di Lin hide from plain sight and Yuan Ya Deity King will never be able to find her.”
Zhong Yue’s worried heart relaxed upon hearing his words and he bowed while the monarch said, “You and I are from the same family so there is no need to thank me. Junior Martial Brother, do you have any use for the Wall Painting Flower at the moment? If not, I would like to borrow it to look for something.”
With slight hesitation, Zhong Yue said, “This herb is of a terrifying origin, its Yuan
Ya Deity King’s symbiotic flower. He dare not come back for the flower because it’s with me but if it’s in your hands, he will definitely show up quickly.”
Monarch Chang Sheng replied, “Only for a couple of days and it will be yours again, don’t worry.”
Hearing this, Zhong Yue took out the Wall Painting Flower but at the moment this saint herb saw Monarch Chang Sheng, it was as if it had seen a ghost, closing its petals right away.
Monarch Chang Sheng smiled, “You and I are both saint herbs, but I am a little tiny bit luckier than you. I managed to acquire my own consciousness and sentience, cultivating my soul and obtaining the ability to cultivate. I am without death and time is nothing on me. Why are you afraid of me? If you are as lucky as me, you will also become a monarch and no longer live in fear.”
Wall Painting Flower, however, remained all curled up and Monarch Chang Sheng turned to Zhong Yue, “Junior martial brother, can I have a word with this one for a moment?”
Zhong Yue nodded, “My army just arrived not long ago and I should be attending to them right now.”
Monarch Chang Sheng nodded back and after Zhong Yue left, he sealed the palace and stared at the Wall Painting Flower coldly, “What I need is not you so why are you so afraid? You should know what I want! If you are obedient and smart enough, then show yourself right now or I will eat you alive!”
The Wall Painting Flower shivered in fear, its roots spread out tremblingly and it blossomed, showing scene after scene of what Monarch Chang Sheng desired to see.
Monarch Chang Sheng’s eyes locked onto the scenes and he mumbled, “One… two… three….”
The images on the Wall Painting Flower kept flashing past and Monarch Chang Sheng counted one by one. After Zhong Yue was done organizing his men, and distributed the Heaven Breaching Fortress, the Zhongyang Clan and Changsheng Clan’s army evenly, it was already three days later and Monarch Chang Sheng counted 2647.
