Those he brought with him this time were all his own men, trusted people. Thus, other than assisting the Jinwu Clan, he still has other matters to do.
The ninth innate spiritual root, the vine that was chopped down by Dao Venerate Fu Min and turned into a galaxy, if I can find it…
Zhong Yue took out the vine leaf and placed it in his hands. The Tree of Life’s residual life force was turned into a fruit, and the core of the fruit became Ancient Mother Di Lin. As a spiritual root on the same level as the Tree of Life, would the vine’s last leaf bring the ninth spiritual root back to life?
It was only a suspicion, whether or not it would work, he had no idea.
Would it also be part of Dao Venerate Fu Min’s plan to chop down the ninth spiritual root? But, he shouldn’t be able to foresee the last leaf ending up in my hands, could he?
Zhong Yue’s expression turned strange. It was a coincidence that the vine leaf ended up with him. He acquired through plundering Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s treasure vault, but he never knew its exact use.
Realm Monarch Bo Luo stumbled across the vine leaf and stored it in his treasure vault only to be stolen by Zhong Yue. The coincidence felt so uncanny; just like how Reincarnation Saint Monarch had acquired the fruit’s core and planted Ancient Mother Di LIn and Zhong Yue’s meeting with Xin Huo!
All these three coincidences Zhong Yue knew were similar and were all related to him; even Ancient Mother Di Lin had some kind of relationship that could connect to him.
It could be said to be fate if the coincidences only happened once or twice, but to see it happening the third time, he couldn’t help but turn suspicious.
This doesn’t feel like Dao Venerate Fu Min’s plan. Xin Huo slumbered 730,000 years ago, but Dao Venerate Fu Min was born 200,000 years ago and died 100,000 years after. There is no way he could’ve arranged all of this 730,000 years ago before he was even born.
Zhong Yue’s face grew serious. As for the Tree of Life’s fruit core, it was a story even older than time. It happened at the end of the Prehistoric Dark Age, after Great Si Ming’s death, and was two million years ago.
But it was only a hundred thousand years ago that the Reincarnation Saint Monarch obtained the fruit core!
No one in the past had ever tried to plant the fruit core until the Reincarnation Saint Monarch finally did it and planted Ancient Mother Di Lin.
Someone had been planning since two million years ago! Zhong Yue calmed himself. A series of coincidences with a similar pattern, it could only be attributed to the same individual.
The fruit core turned into Ancient Mother Di Lin and the fruit meat was eaten by Yuan Ya. Could this presence be Yuan Ya Deity King?
The thousand-winged ancient ship was sailing toward the ancient universe, it warped through space and flashed past one galaxy after another. Zhong Yue stood on the deck while he thought, Then, is Xin Huo’s slumber and meeting with me part of Yuan Ya Deity King’s plan? No, no, it doesn’t feel like it. Although Yuan Ya Deity King is an ancient Deity King, I have not observed any extraordinary wisdom in him to plan all of this. If it weren’t for Yuan Ya Deity King, then him eating the Tree of Life’s fruit’s meat was also part of the plan, wouldn’t that also make him one of the presence’s chess pieces?
He cracked his head to glean the truth but couldn’t come to a conclusion.
Heaven had the wisdom for it, but it was born a hundred thousand years ago, it was impossible for Heaven to plan so far back in time before its birth.
As for Dark Monarch, although he was incredibly strong and wise, it didn’t feel like he could manage such a vast plan either. After all, he and Yuan Ya Deity King were at the same level, it was too difficult for Dark Monarch to include Yuan Ya Deity King in the plan without the latter noticing anything.
How weird, or was it all really just coincidence?
Just as he was thinking about it, the thousand-winged ancient ship suddenly trembled heavily. The nine layers of dimensions in front of them crumbled down and the Tree of Life emerged behind the dimensions, swinging toward Zhong Yue heftily!
Queen Goddess is here to kill me!
After the Tree of Life siphoned Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s life force, its power was boosted greatly. Its one strike felt powerful enough to shatter the ancient ship and kill all the gods in it!
This could only be done by Consort Tian Si, she cannot run her calculations on me or I will detect it. But she can calculate those around me to determine my location!
Zhong Yue turned around, he looked at the gods he brought along and ignored the incoming Tree of Life.
Krong—
The space in front of them shuddered as two monarchs appeared out of nowhere. Monarch Chang Sheng and Monarch Yang Zun were standing on the path of the Tree of Life and stopped its attack.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue wasn’t surprised at all as if he knew all along. His divine third eye opened and inspected all the gods in the ship. Other than the few Imperial Emperors of the Star Torrent Fortress, there was a Karmic Line that appeared behind each and every one of the rest of the gods.
Tens of thousands of Karmic Lines extended out from their bodies and penetrated through space for a distance of no one knew how long. At a glance, it looked like they were string puppets controlled by an invisible hand!
No, Tian Si is not powerful enough for this!
Zhong Yue was surprised. Consort Tian Si’s Art of Karma was incredible, even the Creators could not escape her calculations. But to run a massive calculation at this scale, she needed to be a few times stronger than her usual strength!
It’s Yun Juanshu’s Almanac of Six Paths!
Zhong Yue raised his hand and brought it down in blank space. With the swing of his hand, the Karmic Lines were broken away and Zhong Yue thought, Yun Juanshu has enhanced Tian Si’s Karmic calculations with the Almanac of Six Paths! Is the Almanac of Six Paths capable of doing this as well? How amazing! I wonder if they can stop my divine calculations?
When Monarch Chang Sheng and Yang Zun stopped the Tree of Life, Queen Goddess tread through the broken dimensions and arrived at the scene. Seven light wheels hovered behind her head like star rivers and she cast out the willow bow, aiming the arrows at the two monarchs.
But at this exact moment, seven more star rivers appeared in the scene, accompanied by the chants of Dao voices. The seven light wheels appeared directly beside Queen Goddess and rammed onto her seven light wheels.
“Mu Xiantian!” Queen Goddess muffled a deep groan. She felt the oppression coming from Mu Xiantian’s light wheels. Clearly, Mu Xiantian’s Seven Paths Reincarnation was stronger than hers and it had a natural air that could suppress her Seven Paths Reincarnation.
Queen Goddess didn’t have time to take care of Monarch Chang Sheng and Yang Zun anymore. She quickly shot a few arrows out into the Void World where Mu Xiantian was hiding, but Mu Xiantian flicked her fingers and deflected the arrows.
Then, Monarch Qing He and Monarch Jin Tian arrived at the scene and went straight toward Monarch Chang Sheng and Monarch Yang Zun. On the other hand, Queen Goddess clenched on the Tree of Life and swung it into the Void World as she tried to force Mu Xiantian out of it.
At the same time, in the thousand-winged ancient ship, Zhong Yue cast his arcane energy to divine Consort Tian Si’s location. In the Heaven Court, Consort Tian Si’s face changed slightly, she said solemnly, “King Yi is running his calculations on me!”
“Let him.” Yun Juanshu dipped his finger on Consort Tian Si and the Six Paths surrounding her tumbled into a mess. He laughed and said, “Then let’s teach him another lesson. It’s been a long time since the reincarnated monarch wanted to find him.”
“Senior Martial Brother Yun, trying the same trick again?”
All of a sudden, the Six Paths Reincarnation around Consort Tian Si trembled, countless totem patterns collapsed and reformed into a huge face behind Consort Tian Si. It was Zhong Yue’s face, he said, “The Almanac of Six Paths will no longer be able to restrain me!”
“Seven Paths Reincarnation?” Yun Juanshu’s face changed drastically. A heavenly book flew out of his forehead and flipped open. Then, countless mystical patterns flew out of the book in glimmering rays as they turned into wheels of Reincarnation that surrounded Zhong Yue’s face, trying to sink him in the Six Paths.
“Time is changing and so are the Daos; from the Six Paths Reincarnation then to the Seven Paths Reincarnation now. Yet, you are still holding onto the Almanac of Six Paths with no thoughts of improvising, sooner or later, you will fall into disuse!”
Zhong Yue’s face was formed by Dao patterns, no matter how much the Alamanac of Six Paths tried, it wasn’t able to include him inside of its Six Paths. Meanwhile, he was saying placidly, “The Almanac of Six Paths, Almanac of Karma, and Almanac of Fate are all part of the Dao of Wisdom. However, the wisdom you cultivate falls under the Six Paths, you guys haven’t understood the Seven Paths Reincarnation and so there exists a gap between our intelligence. You won’t be able to defeat me!”
“Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt!”
Suddenly, shouts could be heard as Feng Wuji strode to the side of the trio. He was filled with killing intent when he shouted the words at Zhong Yue’s face in the innate divine language.
He said, “I will halt his Seven Paths while you three take this chance to toss his consciousness to one of the hidden monarchs and let the monarchs take care of him!”
Yun Juanshu immediately started the ritual for it but suddenly, Mo Yin’s face changed drastically. He quickly sat down in the lotus position and cast out a divine sword that slashed into the void. He shouted, “Not good, Zi Guang has traced us here!”
Purplish air emerged beside Consort Tian Si and turned into King Zi Guang’s figure, he greeted the four and said, “Greetings to my dear four Dao friends!”
“Leave!” Consort Tian Si was angered, she cast out the Almanac of Karma and the totem patterns from the almanac swarmed out, swallowing Zhong Yue and King Zi Guang!
It wasn’t the first time Zhong Yue has traced her Karmic Lines and found her, so she was fine with it. But the fact that King Zi Guang was also able to do the same and the duo have morphed themselves right behind her angered her greatly.
The Almanac of Karma restricts the Karmic Lines, the Almanac of Fate slashes on their fate, the Almanac of Six Paths tried to throw Zhong Yue’s and King Zi Guang’s consciousness into the Six Paths Reincarnation, and Feng Wuji’s [Skills of Diction] that helped lock down their consciousness. These six figures that held the titles of ‘Mister’ were entangled in a battle half a universe away from each other.
Although the battle situation was not as ferocious and precarious as the monarchs like Queen Goddess and Mu Xiantian, it was still an amazing one!
“Four Dao friends, you’ve started on the path of Wisdom Dao. Learn the Wisdom Dao you have, but master it you have not.” King Zi Guang’s figure glanced over the three almanacs as his hands made one seal after another.
Then, figures of ancient stars were shown in the void, those were the Imperial Stars. He said while laughing, “While I have already mastered it. You try to crush my conscious with the monarchs’ psyche? I can also do the same to you all.”
Their wisdom clashed together and the Imperial Stars shone brightly as if they were going to warp through space and arrive in the Heaven Court. All of a sudden, there were grand and powerful psyches that rumbled from all over the universe, the voices were questioning, “Who is peeking on me?”
The six of them have cast their own abilities and connected each other’s psyche with the ancient monarchs, luring the monarchs to destroy their opponents’ conscious!
“Quickly, cut off the Six Paths Reincarnation, cut the link!”
Beads of cold sweat rolled down Feng Wuji’s forehead, he shouted in panic, “If we don’t, our minds will be crushed into the minds of idiots by the monarchs’ psyches!”
Chapter 1163: Three Big Traitors |
The monarchs’ psyche locked onto six of them, before the vast presence of the monarchs, they were like a tiny boat struggling in the raging waters that was on the brink of overturning!
Suddenly, Zhong Yue’s psyche slammed against the monarch’s psyche surging towards him, What about monarch psyche? You have nothing against me if you are not even here!
The dimensions around thousand winged ancient ship trembled vigorously, as if there was a gigantic creature hidden deep in the dimensions and was currently following after his psyche, attempting to charge into reality.
It was the monarch’s psyche that grasped onto Zhong Yue’s psyche, tracing after it and locating his location!
Weng—
Light wheels emerged behind Zhong Yue’s head, each like a chakram. They started slashing around as the seven light wheels circled around, tearing the monarch’s psyche half and returned quickly.
But this monarch existence’s psyche was enormous and tremendously terrifying, his severed psyche connected quickly and surged forward again. Without any stuttering, his psyche tore Zhong Yue’s immortal psyche apart, putting Zhong Yue’s brain on the verge collapse!
Impressive! The monarchs’ psyche really incredible but I am not weak as well! Space Reincarnation!
Zhong Yue’s seven light wheels spun around, the dimensions spread apart and transferred the monarch’s psyche far away from the thousand winged ancient ship. Somewhere further away, a sun shattered into pieces as a result when Zhong Yue transferred the monarch’s psyche into that sun, and the powerful energy burst the sun apart!
The dimension around him continued expanding and he stacked them up, layer after layer, to disrupt the monarch’s psyche.
At the same time, in Zhongyang Clan’s sacred ground, King Zi Guang was also in a dire situation. He may be a peak Creator, but when it came against a monarch, his strength was far too weak.
“Di Xiuluo!”
Di Xiuluo was summoned, and along with a step forward was his terrifying psyche, slamming against the incoming monarch psyche.
“Formidable foe….”
Then came a voice filled with strength mumbling in the dimension.
Di Xiuluo’s psyche vibrated vigorously as he chased after the retreating monarch psyche, only to be stopped by King Zi Guang who warned, “Stop, any further more and we will bring us an unnecessary enemy.”
Hearing this, Di Xiuluo retracted his psyche and returned back to standing behind King Zi where he remained in silence.
In Heaven Court, Consort Tian Si, Mo Yin, Feng Wuji and Yun Juanshu also got themselves dragged into the same situation; four monarchs’ psyche located them and immediately pressed down, crushing towards their minds with relentless speed.
Feng Wuji’s expression twisted before the pressure, his forehead glowed as the hidden protective skills were on the brink of being activated; if the situation worsened and when the monarchs’ psyche drilled into his mind, these skills would all be triggered immediately!
“Worry not, this is the Heaven Court, the place where Heavenly Monarch resides is not a place they can come and go as they please!”
Yun Juanshu’s expression remained the same as he activated the Almanac of Six Paths, the Almanac of Six Paths enlarged every second and divine light started launching out of the Almanac of Six Paths, brightening up the entire Heaven Court while buzzing loudly. As the Almanac of Six Paths’s light radiated to the entire Heaven Court, the countless soldiers uncontrollably cast their Five Paths Reincarnation and Six Paths Reincarnation, all united before this Almanac of Six Paths.
When the four monarchs’ psyche rained down, they were halted by the countless soldiers’ combined psyche, rumbling upon impact and the four grunts came deep from the dimensions as the four monarchs gained no upper hand. Instead, they felt that their psyche rammed into solid bricks and steel walls and their own psyche wavered before the recoil.
With a swing, Yun Juanshu shrunk the Almanac of Six Paths and it turned into a scroll that sat in his hands, along with it was the recovery of the countless gods’ light wheels and these clueless ones remained surprised and shocked.
Feng Wuji looked towards Almanac of Six Paths right away and he blinked his eyes, “What incredible item, Senior Martial Brother Yun, may I have the honour of taking a look at it?”
Yun Junshu threw Almanac of Six Paths to Feng Wuji and with a smile to mask his unsincerity, he said, “Mister Wuji, you can’t use this Almanac of Six Paths.”
The unconvinced Feng Wuji immediately tried activating the Almanac of Six Paths but to no avail and he flipped it open right away, finding himself worm-like writing all over the Almanac of Six Paths. He didn’t recognize a single word and when he forcefully tried to memorize them, his mind stirred up, triggering the urge to puke and causing him to return the Almanac of Six Paths right away.
Taking over Almanac of Six Paths, Yun Juanshu kept it away and said, “Now, there are two options. First would be to head into the ancient universe to pursue Mister Yi and kill him. The other one is to take this opportunity to wipe out Xian Tian Palace, the Zhongyang Clan and the Changsheng Clan while the best among them are all in the ancient universe right now. My recommendation is the second option!”
Mo Yin smiled right away, “Zi Guang brags about him entering Dao with pure intelligence and this is a good chance to see it for ourselves!”
Consort Tian Si asked, “Mister Wuji, what say you?”
Feng Wuji was keen on chasing after Zhong Yue, but what Yun Juanshu said was reasonable as well, hence, he suggested, “We can split into two parties, one will chase after King Yi and the other will attack their base. I volunteer to chase after Zhong Yue and you guys can attack their base. Don’t worry, I have a few buddies that I can trust, we can hunt King Yi down!”
“King Yi’s ship is extremely quick, what are you relying on to intercept him?”
Mo Yin blinked his eyes and asked, “Besides, King Yi alone is already a problem, let alone the few human Imperial Emperors and the Creators he has serving him? They are all wild humans, each with ruthless strength, are you sure your buddies are a match against them?”
