  Zhong Yue was overjoyed, “It can really turn a metal into divine gold!”

  Xin Huo, on the other hand, was stunned. He was speechless for seconds, and suddenly, he shouted out loud, “BRAT! Who asked you to dip the metal into it? This pool of Golden Origin Water is Patriarch Nature’s hard work of over eight-thousand years! Yet, you dare to throw a piece of junk to turn it into slightly better junk? If the Golden Origin Water is only capable of doing this, then how can one call it priceless!”

  Zhong Yue was enlightened, he quickly threw the piece of divine gold away and said, “Xin Huo, so you mean that the Golden Origin Water isn’t used like this?”

  “Of course not!" Xin Huo gritted his teeth and said furiously, “Wouldn’t it be better to just craft and forge the Golden Origin Water itself into a weapon than turning junk into divine gold and then forging them into divine weapons? By doing what you have done, you are just blatantly wasting the Golden Origin Water!”

  “Thankfully, not much is wasted still." Zhong Yue was enlightened. The Golden Origin water wasn’t really in the liquid form, it took form in between light and liquid. It probably didn’t even use up a single drip, turning that piece of metal into divine gold.

  After the Heavenly Dharma level, it will be the Imminent Deity next. Zhong Yue thought, The Imminent Deity’s state of extremity is the Extreme Dao Soul Weapon. It’s time for me to have my own soul weapon already. No matter how perfect divine weapons are, they still wouldn’t truly be mine.

  In order to cultivate the state of extremity in the Imminent Deity level, one must have their own soul weapon and cultivate it to its limit.

  Over the ten thousand years of Swords Gate’s history, only ten elders had managed to do so, none of whom were headmasters. But it wasn’t because headmasters were inferior to these ten elders, but that the headmaster was duty-bound to inherit the symbolic weapon of Swords Gate — the Boundless Divine Sword.

  After their appointments, the headmasters would have to continue worshipping and cultivating the Great Boundless Divine Sword further. Surely, that would place their own soul weapons at a lower place, stalling them from cultivating the Imminent Deity’s state of extremity.

  Furthermore, it required a great deal of effort and passion, similar to that of Fang Jiange, to achieve it as well.

  So now, how should I forge the Golden Origin Water? In what form should my soul weapon be in? Zhong Yue pondered deeply.

  Chapter 571: Moon God Repaying Debts |

  All of a sudden, Zhong Yue opened his eyes, he looked afar, and stood up.

  Swords Gate Mountain soon came into view as he spotted the many disciples gathered together under Jun Sixie’s lead, waiting for his arrival.

  Clearly, the Four Ken Beast guarding over the Great Wilderness had spotted him as he crossed the border and informed Jun Sixie.

  “I am… back…" Zhong Yue thought of why he left—forced by the gods of Ancestral Star, to be passed to the insect gods and mother gods. All so that he, a hero who has done great deed to the Ancestral Star could be punished by their enemies.

  But now, the insect gods and mother gods along with the Ancestral Star gods took a heavy blow, most died and the rest suffered grave injuries. Yet, he survived, came back in one piece and was even stronger than before!

  “I am back!”

  Zhong Yue laughed loudly, his voice trembled the mountains and shuddered the clouds. All of the anger and pent up resentment were quickly released through laughter!

  Suddenly, on the Swords Gate Mountain, the many disciples suddenly bowed and worshipped the Xuan Yuan Sword. A ray of light made a beautiful arc across the sky toward Zhong Yue, cleaving the clouds into halves.

  The sword ray imbued immense power in it, causing a chain of reactions across the Ancestral Star. The godly spirits and divine weapons emerged from the many races. But even against such a scene, the Xuan Yuan Sword was still like a giant among the crowd!

  Then, the human disciples shouted in unison, “Welcome back Elder Zhong!”

  The voices rumbled like thunder while Jun Sixie chortled, “Disaster Zhong…”

  Meanwhile, the spies from the other races sprung into action, gathering information on the odd occurrence within Swords Gate. When they found out that Zhong Yue had survived and returned safely, they immediately cast out the totem pillars to inform their respective factions!

  Zhong Yue had returned!

  At that moment, the world plunged into turmoil, one much more shocking than the scene caused by the Xuan Yuan Sword!

  Disaster Zhong survived and had returned, and yet the gods had suffered a huge loss. The remaining few who survived have all hidden away to remedy their grave injuries. Some had even headed over to the Kun Lun Realm. As for the surviving insect race gods, they had also disappeared, nowhere to be found. Even when the Great Wilderness conquered and declared the insect territory as theirs, the insect race gods never came out.

  The gods died and suffered grave injuries, but a human Qi Practitioner came back without a single scratch!

  They wanted to deny it, but the truth was plain to see!

  Disaster Zhong was not only a harbinger of disaster for the human race, but also for the whole world!

  How dare he survive what even the gods couldn’t?!

  There was even a rumor that claimed that Zhong Yue was the cause of it all. He was the one who brought in the Xiao Mang grand ancestor to kill the gods and also the one who brought out the innate gods to kill the Xiao Mang grand ancestor. The rumor painted Zhong Yue as a scum in the worst possible light.

  But who would ever understand that Zhong Yue had never thought of returning at all. He only took out the moon core so as to lure Xiao Mang grand ancestor out. He had no confidence in escaping the Xiao Mang grand ancestor at all.

  It was also out of his expectations that the moon god would come out at the point of his near certain death.

  After that, he was brought away by Mother Da Zhen, only to circumvent death countless times over again in the perilous City of Nature.

  All the world ever saw was his glory and honor, but no one else ever understood the dangers he had to survive to get there!

  Zhong Yue’s return and Jun Sixie and Fang Jiange’s break through to Imminent Deity were news worthy of celebration. And so laughter filled the whole mountain as Swords Gate celebrated for days.

  “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, that lady has been waiting for you for a long time already." Jun Sixie curled her lips and smiled while furtively grinding her teeth inside.

  “Lady?" Zhong Yue was standing on the Golden Summit. He looked around and spotted a lady sitting in a little pavilion on another mountain, but he couldn’t make out her face. He asked, “What lady?”

  “I’m told she is the innate moon god, if you don’t return, she will be here waiting forever!" she continued grinding her teeth.

  “Moon god?" Zhong Yue was shocked, and quickly thought of the beautiful goddess. He calmed himself and headed for the little pavilion.

  Moments later, he reached the other mountain and stood in front of the pavilion. Even with exceptional temperament, he was still dazed by her beauty.

  It wasn’t the first time he saw her, but every time he laid his eyes upon her was like the first time; he couldn’t help but be enraptured by her beauty every time.

  She doesn’t appear to be real, as if she is only a figment of one’s imagination.

  Zhong Yue took some time to calm himself down again, he bowed and said, “Goddess, is there anything I can help you with?”

  The moon god looked at him quietly for a few seconds before answering with her soft and tender voice, “You saved me, so I need to repay my debts before I leave..”

  “Repay?" Zhong Yue smiled brightly, he waved his hand dismissively and said, “Don’t worry too much. Although I did save you before, you saved me right after too, didn’t you? If it weren’t for you who killed the Xiao Mang grand ancestor, I wouldn’t be standing here at all. There is no need to speak of debt,
goddess.”

  Moon god shook her head quietly, she was like the moon that brought light to the dark night, “You saved me first, and I didn’t kill Xiao Mang grand ancestor to save you, I only did it to retrieve what he stole from me. Thus, there is still a need for me to repay my debts before I leave the Ancestral Star. I don’t want to leave any regrets behind.”

  Just as Zhong Yue was about to retort, the little flame had hopped in his psyche ocean and shouted, “Copulate!”

  Zhong Yue blushed while the little flame continued with his shenanigans, “Good, good! I like females repaying debts! Copulate! Mate! I want babies! I want a halfblood Fuxi-innate god baby!”

  Zhong Yue’s heart throbbed heavily, but when he looked at the goddess again, he had no such thoughts anymore. It seemed impossible to evoke any carnal desires upon looking at her.

  “For the Fuxi Clan, you must mate with her!" Xin Huo shouted.

  The innate moon god looked at him curiously, as though she could hear Xin Huo raving in his psyche ocean. Suddenly, she shook her head and said in her soft and tender voice, “It might not be possible for us to have such vigorous activity, you and I are too far apart in power, your mortal body will not be able to sustain it.”

  Zhong Yue’s face grew redder than tomatoes while Xin Huo leaped out from his psyche ocean. The little flame gritted his teeth and said, “See, didn’t I tell you to train your mortal body? Now she is willing, but your weak body can’t handle it. Shame on you!”

  Zhong Yue cleared his throat with a series of coughs, “Xin Huo, I have no such thoughts…”

  But the little flame ignored him and continued on, “For the Fuxi Clan, you need to be strong in every aspect! I am not happy or thrilled because I can get to play with a toy… a baby, I am doing all of this for the future of your Fuxi Clan. Look at that, the Fuxi Clan is dying, only one and a half of you left. If you don’t work any harder, then your Fuxi Clan will end for sure! The innate gods are good, they are strong and their blood is invaluable, they might be able to even enhance the blood of the Fuxi Clan as well!”

  For the first time, the goddess’s eyes were filled with curiosity, she looked at the little flame and said abruptly, “If that is how I can repay my debts, then, you can extract your genes and I will plant it into my body. I will only leave after I give birth to a child of yours.”

  Zhong Yue looked at the goddess in shock, but only to find her pure as a piece of white paper. Her ambiguous words were uttered with no emotion or sense of shame, as if the matter was only transactional.

  “Agreed!”

  Xin Huo urged, “As long as there is a baby at the end of it, I don’t care how it’s done!”

  But to the little flame was bound to be disappointed again, Zhong Yue shook his head and laughed, “Goddess, there is no need to do so. Giving birth to a child without any emotions or relation isn’t proper, I won’t know how I will answer when our children ask of their mother.”

  The goddess tilted her head as she thought. Then, she took out the moon core which she had refined into a pearl and said, “Can this repay my debt?”

  Zhong Yue smiled, “Yes, it can.”

  “The moon core is his to claim in the first place, he stole it for himself. The moon core can only be said as returning what’s rightfully his. We want the innate Qi!" Xin Huo quickly said.

  “Innate Qi?" the goddess startled. With a change of thought, a surge of Innate Tai Yin Qi flew out from her shoulder and floated in front of Zhong Yue.

  But Zhong Yue smiled and declined, “The moon core pearl is more than enough. If you give me the innate Qi now, I will just be taking advantage of you.”

  The moon god shook her head, “This little flame is right, you stole the moon core from the Xiao Mang grand ancestor, it is rightfully yours. This Innate Tai Yin Qi is what I will give you to fulfill my debt.”

  Zhong Yue could only reluctantly accept it. The wisp Innate Tai Yin Qi slowly landed on his hands, and in that instant, he muffled a deep groan while the mountain beneath him sunk into the earth!

  So heavy! Zhong Yue thought. The Tai Yin Qi appeared to be light like a feather but was actually heavier than a mountain!

  “The debt is repaid, I shall be taking my leave now." The goddess hovered above the ground for a moment before flying toward the sky. Zhong Yue raised his head up and shouted, “Goddess, can I find you in the moon if I have any questions about my cultivation?”

  “I will be leaving this place, we might not ever see each other anymore." The goddess paused for a second look at him, “I have been told by the ancient innate gods that this planet will be sealed forever, I am invited to the Zi Wei Galaxy.”

  Zhong Yue was shocked, “Sealed?”

  “If you want to leave, I can bring you along." The moon god said placidly, “With your current power, there is no need for you to stay here anymore. There will be bigger stages for you outside. Maybe, one day, you will grow strong enough to match me.”

  Zhong Yue’s interest was piqued, he had already reached the summit of power in the Ancestral Star. Other than the gods, no one was able to match him anymore. He had grown far too strong for this planet to contain him. There wasn’t much opportunity for him to grow stronger here anymore.

  But if he could go out and become exposed to a wider, greater, and stronger world, the benefits he would stand to gain would be immense!

  Then, he glanced around Swords Gate Mountain. He saw the hard working commoners under the mountains, he saw the Swords Gate disciples cultivating and training, and he saw the lady leaning against the door in front of the golden summit palace. He soon reached a decision.

  He waved his hands at the goddess and said while laughing, “Moon god, you can leave first, I will be finding you later!”

  The goddess was startled, but she nodded before leaving a few seconds later without turning back.

  Chapter 572: Lifebound Soul Weapon |

  “This innate goddess is truly unique, what a strange lady." Xin Huo returned to Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean and complained, “Such a good chance, you should really try and see if she can really make you one or two babies. She needed your genes, not your life! You’ve already done it with that little white tiger lady from Kun Lun who was of no use in giving birth to a Fuxi at all, but now you even decline someone who can? Shameless prick! Shame on you!”

  Zhong Yue was speechless. He just couldn’t muster any inappropriate thoughts on the moon god, even implanting his genes into her body felt like a sin.

  “Brat Yue, you need to build your body well from now on so that you can be prepared next time something like this happens. Are you going to let it slip away again? No, I won’t allow it, you mustn’t!" Xin Huo said solemnly.

  Only after a long time did Zhong Yue get rid of the moon god from his head. Then, he walked up into the Golden Summit.

  Jun Sixie smiled and said, “Your lover asked you to leave together, why didn’t you?”

  Zhong Yue smiled and answered suggestively, “I can’t let go of you…”

  “Frivolous!” Jun Sixie glared at him fiercely and walked into the saint palace. But during the moment she turned when no one saw, her face blushed and her heart pounded.

  “...all." Zhong Yue slowly finished his sentence and shook his head when he saw the headmaster trotting into the palace in a fast gait, not knowing if she had heard him ending the sentence.

  The moon god was a true beauty, he was confident that no other lady could surpass her in that department, but that didn’t mean there wasn’t anyone who was better. Moon god was too far from the mortals like a moon that hung high up in the sky, but Headmaster Jun was closer to his heart.

  “Little Cow Jun is good, also Little Cow Qiu, and the few demon ladies, and Little Cow Bai far in the north…" Xin Huo was back on it again, “The moon god now seemed to be an unsuccessful target, you can try expanding your ne. You never know, one of them might be it!”

  Zhong Yue shook his head and remained silent toward Xin Huo’s suggestions.


  Ignoring Xin Huo’s rant, Zhong Yue stepped into Yu Wenju’s Yuan Shen secret realms. He saw many Swords Gate disciples gathered there, gaining insights from the scale mirror.

  This scale of unknown origin was more valuable than any of the divine weapons in Swords Gate. With it, the disciples’ flaws and weaknesses were laid bare, making the process of fixing them and improving their cultivation that much smoother!

  Even Shui Zian who was long past his prime, was still able to take a step further in his cultivation with the help of this scale mirror.

  Moreover, the scale was huge enough to allow over thousands of disciples to gain insights. Such a treasure could only be placed in the Yuan Shen secret realms so as to not attract unnecessary attention from the other races.

  Zhong Yue stood in front of the mirror and inspected the tiniest details of his mortal body and Yuan Shen. Every time he went out into the world, he would go through many battles; and although he was able to pull through every time, many hidden wounds had accumulated within him. This normally wouldn’t affect his prowess, but when neglected for long enough, they could impose a limit to his cultivation.

  Only after tending to these wounds did he go into closed door seclusion to forge his soul weapon.

  “Brat Yue, you shouldn’t forge the soul weapon first, you should look into your Yuan Shen before that!" Xin Huo sat on Zhong Yue’s head in front of his eyes, “Better you cultivate your Yuan Shen first! The True Spirit level dual state of extremities, the Pure Yin True Spirit, also known as the Chaotic Origin True Spirit; and the innate True Spirit. You’ve acquired the Sui Tree, and with it, you can cultivate your Golden Crow spirit into the innate True Spirit. In addition to that Innate Tai Yin Qi, you can also have your moon spirit ascend into the innate True Spirit. There, your Fuxi Yuan Shen will be stronger than ever. By then, when you break through to the Imminent Deity level, you will even be able to barely contend with gods!”

  Zhong Yue was moved, he asked, “How long will it take to cultivate the innate True Spirit?”
