Zhong Yue frowned right away as only a peak monarch possessed such ability. His current strength only had the ability to use the ship to travel around.
“The Heavenly Prison may be secure, but there is one thing good for us. At the usual time, there will be barely any gods that will come to this place!”
Xin Huo continued, “The only way now is to fight our way in!”
Zhong Yue remained silent for a while. Charging right through the door meant that they would have to fight against the guards of the Heavenly Prison, who probably had a way to get in touch with the outside. This meant that he would also alert the Huangting Clan and Lou Zhengshi!
That was unless they had a way to cut off the guards’ access to the outside!
“Don’t worry, they won’t be able to contact the outside since there is a divine totem pillar that suppresses all totem pillars.”
Xin Huo smiled, “When the Earth Order Era began, I’ve contributed to creating this Heavenly Prison as well. Back then, Monarch Xi, Nu Wa, and I threw some of the old fools inside here. Monarch Xi is my first inheritor in the Earth Order Era. Be mindful, upon entering this prison, don’t you even think of contacting the outside.”
The relaxed Zhong Yue then suddenly recalled something, “Xin Huo, if you took part in creating this prison, then you must know a way to open its seals, right?”
Xin Huo nodded to his question, “Opening the door is the simplest task. The hardest part is stopping the Huangting experts from running out of the prison and alerting the others.”
“Heh, that is trivial!”
Zhong Yue’s expression changed as he activated the [Sky Clouding Sun Changing Art], altering his bloodline and Yuan Shen structure, disguised as Huangting Clan’s Ting Fengcen and laughed, “Elder Qi, Senior Martial Brother Yu, come to my Yuan Shen secret realms.”
Fu Qizhi and Hundun Yu entered his Yuan Shen secret realm and after looking around, finding no one around, Zhong Yue walked out from the dimensions and stood at the door before entering the prison.
“Crown Prince Fu Shang, please pass me a dimensional fragment so I can block off the entrance to the prison.” said Zhong Yue as he suddenly takes out the Six Paths Bead.
From the Six Paths Bead, a fragment was hurled out to seal off the path behind him.
Zhong Yue then turned around and his hands left a flurry of afterimages as he created layers of seals to entirely cover the traces of the fragment; if someone came rushing from the prison recklessly, he will fall right into the dimensional fragment.
Alright! Now, even if we fight for a day inside, the outside won’t know anything at all!
Zhong Yue then let Fu Qizhi and Hundun Yu out and the duo guarded Zhong Yue as they all entered the door.
The structure within the prison was absurdly complicated. After all, this place was designed to suppress those dangerous ones. Thus, even though many of the cells were already breached, this place was still filled with a terrifying suppressive power!
Just walking in this place made a True Deity like Zhong Yue feel extremely pressured, even his Yuan Shen was feeling uneasy and the strength he was able to use dwindled drastically.
They even felt everything they’d cultivated was being suppressed and that the deeper they ventured, the weaker their connection to the heaven and earth’s Daos was.
“Who are you….”
A Huangting Clan’s prison warden confronted them but before he could even finish his question, Fu Qizhi’s staff landed on his chest, blasting the warden’s body apart.
Right away, even more wardens came charging out and whistles were heard that alerted the other wardens of the intruders.
The Huangting Clan’s wardens quickly showed up, each being powerful ones with great power. Fu Qizhi let out a screech and turned into a dragon. He flew around the prison, leaping from wall to wall as he struck down the wardens, leaving entrails wherever he passed.
On the other hand, Zhong Yue stomped on the ground and the [Innate Eight Trigrams] emerged; the eight innate Daos warped into various totem patterns and constantly shifted from one to another. Whenever someone got too close, a saber light flashed across within [Innate Eight Trigrams], crossing every inch and every warden who charged at Zhong Yue fell before they could even get close enough!
Even the Deity Emperor level wardens were not strong enough to withstand the innate divine saber formed from the innate Yi Dao. The Deity Emperor level divine weapons shattered upon one strike and the armors they donned could not stop the saber!
On the other hand, Hundun Yu had the Fusang Tree’s branch in his hands, swinging it at the wardens charging at him, but unlike his companions, he merely pushed his opponents away from him to keep himself safe.
He, who was an observer, was doing everything within his task.
“It’s Xian Tian Palace’s King Yi!”
“Heaven Suppression Fortress’ army is here!”
“Alert the clan master quickly!”
The many wardens shouted as they ran out in an attempt to contact the Huangting Clan’s higher-ups.
The trio fought their way into the prison and as they steadily advanced forward, drawing closer to the cell where Fu Li was kept and the wardens’ rank decreased slowly.
“As expected, those ancient ones imprisoned here were all gone.”
Xin Huo looked around and frowned, “They are all the culprits that destroyed the Fire Order Era, who set them free? Setting them free will only cause a lot of ruckuses.”
“The culprits that ended Fire Order Era? Can they manage to live for so long? Are they all innate gods?”
Zhong Yue couldn’t be bothered to think anymore as they were at the deepest parts of the prison; this Heavenly Prison was just a part of the real Heavenly Prison. The Huangting Clan did not have a complete Heavenly Prison or just by its own power, the prison would be able to disable them entirely!
Zhong Yue, Fu Qizhi and Hundun Yu arrived at the cell imprisoning Fu Li, only to find him being hung in midair while huge chains locked onto his limbs. Beneath Fu Li was an old Creator who raised his divine sword, rested it on Fu Li’s neck and grinned, “One more step closer and I’ll….”
Zhong Yue walked forward and just as the Huangting Creator was about to swing his sword, movements came from above and the chains chaining onto Fu Li’s legs were moved and they were wrapped around the Creator’s neck!
Fu Li then grabbed onto the Creator’s neck with his legs and twisted strongly, tearing the head off from the Creator’s neck!
A rumbling dragon roar sounded from Fu Li’s mouth, echoing through the prison and crushed the Creator’s head!
As for the Creator, when his body was destroyed, his Yuan Shen tried to run away but when he saw Zhong Yue standing before the door, he stopped and he was too afraid to open the door.
Zhong Yue placed his palm against the cell door, created complicated and constantly changing totem patterns that removed the layers of seals on the door.
As soon as the door was opened, the Creator’s Yuan Shen rushed out but at the same time, a saber flashed across his vision, stunning him and along with his Yuan Shen, everything in his Yuan Shen was sliced into half.
The saber danced around in the air like a slithering dragon, landed a strike onto Fu Li’s limbs, severing the chains and Fu Li fell onto the ground. The barbaric human got up on his feet quickly and said, “Master, my weapon has been taken away by them, please give me a moment!”
Rumblings were heard and out of nowhere, a bone club flew out from a corner and right into Fu Li’s hand.
Chapter 1007: Real and Fake Prince |
The four of them then turned back, and Fu Li, who held the bone club in his head asked, “Master, the Heavenly River Navy Fleet, Panhu Navy, and Yu Lin Army are all here! Bi An is also taken by them! They are waiting for the time to execute me before everyone when they arrive at the fortress!”
Zhong Yue’s expression was very gloomy and he said, “I already know this. There is a talent in the Heaven Court who took out all the spies King Zi Guang placed in Heaven Court and even managed to hide this from King Zi Guang. I know who this talent is, it can only be Consort Tian Si who had just returned. Only her Karma Dao can pinpoint King Zi Guang’s spies and take them out without King Zi Guang’s knowledge. What concerns me most is why Consort Tian Si helped Heavenly Monarch Di Ming?”
The Karma Dao was used to calculate a person’s past, and when compared to Yun Juanshu’s Six Paths Heavenly Eye, they both had their own strengths; using the Karma Dao to determine a person’s identity was the easiest way out and the only person Zhong Yue knew who could do this apart from himself was Consort Tian Si.
Hence, Zhong Yue assumed that Consort Tian Si was back at Zi Wei from the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.
However, she served a different lord, not Heavenly Monarch Di Ming; so why did she help him remove the Xian Tian Palace’s spies?
There was something fishy going on for sure.
Fu Li scratched his head and carefully asked, “Master, how about little cousin Bi An….”
“Once we get out, we will go save him!”
Zhong Yue replied without hesitation, “I am after all, his guardian, I can’t stand watching as he is eaten.”
“But how?”
Asked a confused Xin Huo, “With that bell guarding the Huangting sacred ground, whether or not we can sneak in remains a question. Even if we managed to sneak in, how are we going to come out in one piece? It’s impossible to remain undetected all that time! After all, that fat boy Bi An is being cooked by a few Imperial Emperors! With just Fu Li and Fu Qizhi, you can’t save Bi An. You might even find yourself trapped there! This is not to mention if you trigger the Heavens Divine Dao Bell!”
The Huangting Clan’s sacred ground located at the center was right under the coverage of the bell, how could the ancient ship sneak into the place without triggering the bell?
After saving Bi An, the Huangting Clan and the bell would be alarmed about their presence and when that happens, how were they supposed to escape?”
The Huangting Clan alone was going to be a great threat to them as this clan itself was a monarch race that commanded two army divisions in the Heaven Court, let alone the Panhu Clan, which was a sovereign race!
However, none of them were as difficult to be dealt with as the Heavens Divine Dao Bell!
Things were very different when the bell’s spirit acted on its own instinct and when being yielded by the Huangting Clan; when its on its own, the spirit’s attack was not that strong, which granted the ancient ship the golden opportunity to escape but once they were being controlled by the Huangting Clan, the bell’s power would increase drastically and their safety would be very much at stake by then.
Saving Fu Li was a simple mission but not for saving Bi An.
The four then arrived before the dimensional fragment, where they met with two Huangting Clan’s wardens who were trying to destroy the fragment; the seals Zhong Yue left behind were already lifted by them.
And the other wardens? They’ve already run right into the dimensional fragment panicky and got swallowed entirely.
Fu Li acted right away, slamming the two wardens to their death and Zhong Yue kept the fragment away into the Six Paths Bead.
With a flick of his mind, Zhong Yue kept Fu Li, Fu Qizhi and Hundun Yu into his Yuan Shen secret realms and his disguise changed again, turning back to Ting Fengcen as he walked away.
Fortunately, nothing happened and they’d all returned to the ship. Zhong Yue stood there doing nothing for a moment before he activated the ship, leaving the Huangting Clan’s sacred ground and arriving at the outer realm.
“Elder Qi, you stay here with Senior Martial Brother Yu.”
Zhong Yue said while leaving 2,000,000 incarnations behind, “Wait here for my signal to activate the Fusang Divine Tree.”
Fu Qizhi hurriedly stopped him, “You are trying to sneak in to save Bi An? There are a few Imperial Emperors around him right now. With just you and Fu Li alone, you are no match to them!”
“Which is why I need your help, from the outside”
Zhong Yue comforted him with a smile, activated the ancient ship and slowly closed into the bell through the endless dimensions.
The closer he got to the bell, the more cautious Zhong Yue became; in the dimensions were also the bell’s totem patterns taking shape of circles that were all connected, the alluring and complicated patterns itself were warning intruders about its might!
This monarch bell’s might was just miraculous! Its shape was a bell, but in truth, it was entirely made of Daos; anyone who tried to sneak into the sacred grounds would first have to sneak past these monarch level Daos.
Rarely would monarch weapons be made of divine gold or any other divine materials for they were usually formed from Daos. The monarch level existences had already achieved a level where they could materialize everything and the most outstanding of all was their Daos.
But there was also some special cases, like the Hundun Clan’s monarch weapon Fusang Divine Tree that was made from the actual Fusang Divine Tree’s branch. However, the divine tree itself was a spiritual creation from the heaven and earth, entirely made of Daos.
While the ancient ship was a powerful item created by the many Deity Kings from the Dark Age, imbued with the Space Dao that the Space Deity King was so proud of, Zhong Yue was not confident at all if it could sneak past these monarch level Daos.
The ancient ship’s innate flesh wings flapped stealthily as Zhong Yue carefully maneuvered the ship towards the rings of monarch Daos.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a little girl with a mini bell dangling on her waist, sitting barefooted and absorbing the Huangting Clan’s power of worship.
It was the Heavens Divine Dao Bell’s spirit!
Without any hesitation, Zhong Yue closed his eyes and directed his attention somewhere else to avoid being detected by her.
After that, he became even more cautious. At this point, the ancient ship’s wings had already touched the bell’s monarch Daos; as the wings flapped, they severed the Daos but the Daos remained intact, yet located in different dimensions.
The ancient ships silently sailed through the dimensional cracks and entered the Huangting sacred ground.
Suddenly, the bell spirit little girl looked towards the ship’s direction in surprise as she felt abnormalities coming from the Daos that were now located in different dimensions.
Zhong Yue’s heart thumped right away. Although the ship was able to hide from her vision within the endless dimensions, Zhong Yue just couldn’t guarantee that the little girl wouldn’t catch onto something!
Another bell noise rang and the dimensions severed by the ancient ship shattered by that severed monarch level Dao and it recovered to its original state.
The little girl walked around on that monarch level Dao and she was very puzzled.
On the ancient ship, Zhong Yue and Fu Li’s heart almost stopped beating. Fortunately, after taking a stroll, the little girl discovered nothing and returned to absorbing the power of worship.
Zhong Yue and Fu Li exhaled deeply and they continued the journey carefully. After some time, they’d finally snuck past the bell and entered the sacred ground.
Zhong Yue raised his head while wearing a serious expression.
The Heavens Divine Dao Bell hung high above the sacred ground, shadowed over it and the patterns on the bell were just like countless coiling dragons that each turning towards their own directions.
As they were now in the sacred ground, they were also within the bell’s coverage and if the bell attacked them, they would be met with a swift death!
The ancient ship continued to move forward, closed in the sacred palace imprisoning Bi An, stopped right before the gates and hid well within the dimensions.
“Fu Li, hide in my Yuan Shen secret realms.”
Zhong Yue ordered and Fu Li did as he said immediately.
The young man then recollected his thoughts, calmed himself down and turned back into Ting Fengcen’s looks, walked out from the dimensions after clearing the area.
He then walked towards the sacred palace without hiding.
“Crown Prince Cen!”
The guards bowed right away and after giving them a cold reply, Zhong Yue walked into the palace expressionlessly.
Outside of the alchemy chamber, two Huangting Deity Emperors smiled, “Crown Prince Cen, the three old ancestors said that no one is to enter the chamber.”
Zhong Yue humphed coldly, “Even I? The crown prince?”
The two guards exchanged a look and finding no way to stop Zhong Yue, they all stood aside.
Zhong Yue entered the chamber and what entered his vision were gods that were moving around carrying all sorts of precious ingredients before pouring them into the cauldron. Meanwhile, the three Huangting Clan’s elders surrounded the stove, slamming out all sorts of seals to keep the fire burning fiercely to melt Bi An.
“Delicious! How I wish I can keep on eating like this …”
From the cauldron above the stove came Bi An’s crying voice, “More! I want to eat more before I die! Are there any more herbs?”
“This brat is still well alive! Impressive, no wonder he is the living saint herb that can help us to advance into the monarch level!”
One of the elders smiled, “We’ve stuffed so many herbs into the cauldron to cook him into a flesh herb! This time, he will be able to help two to three Imperial Emperors to advance into the monarch level!”
Another elder said, “This is a very rare one, one that can’t be found in 100,000 years! We must draw out his full potential and unleash everything he has. If our Huangting Clan is able to produce a few more monarchs, we might even become the ruler of this universe…. Crown Prince Cen? What brings you here?”
“I’m melting!” shouted Bi An at the same time, “You old dogs! Let me out or I will show you no mercy when my guardian arrives!”
Zhong Yue then bowed at the elders, “Father sent me here to see if the saint herb is completed.”
