Then Zhong Yue said solemnly, “But complementing the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation to convert the different powers, the disadvantage would not be a problem, but also turned into another new advantage.”
Xin Huo nodded, “Yes, indeed. The Six Paths Reincarnation allows him to unite the powers into one and he could even choose the most suitable power as needed from the different kinds of powers he has. Fighting with an enemy who has an overly abundant arcane energy, that can be changed into any element and wielded as freely as he desires, just imagine how terrifying that is!”
Xin Huo then murmured, “In the past, the Innate Sun Spirit Body was definitely the strongest of them all, even the Galaxy Innate Spirit Body was no match for it. But now, with the creation of the Six Paths Reincarnation, the Innate Sun Spirit Body might not be the strongest anymore. Time has flashed by so fast and things have changed far too rapidly for me to follow…”
The little flame couldn’t help but feel despondent, he had been in slumber for too long that he had missed out on too many things that everything he knew were relics of a time that had long since passed.
“Brat Yue, you must understand what this Six Paths Reincarnation truly is. The next inheritor must be able to thoroughly understand what this Six Paths Reincarnation is!” Xin Huo demanded, “It’s best if you can know all of its secrets so that I can impart it to the next inheritor.”
The ghost fire in Zhong Yue’s eye sockets burned dimly, he thought, King Geng is stronger than me, his understanding in the Six Paths Reincarnation is deeper and that makes him a terrifying opponent. However, if I could awaken the Innate True Soul and enter the Imminent Deity level, I will be no weaker than him. But just what cultivation level is King Geng at now?
He asked Ma Sansou of his doubt and Ma Sansou quickly replied, “King Geng only breaks through to the next level after reaching the peak of the previous cultivation level. Thus, he is still only in the True Spirit level.”
“True Spirit!” Zhong Yue inhaled deeply and grew serious, he never thought that King Geng would also be at the same cultivation level as him!
They were on the same cultivation level and King Geng was still able to suppress him! How terrifying was that!
He is stronger than me because of his deeper knowledge in the Six Paths Reincarnation. Seems like I still have a long way to go to defeat him!
Zhong Yue thought and asked, “Sansou, is there anyone in the Prison Realm that can compete with King Geng?”
After seeing Zhong Yue pushing back and even able to put up a fight against King Geng, Ma Sansou had already admired Zhong Yue, and quickly answered, “King Geng is the strongest of them all, there is no doubt. However, there is still a few that can compete with him. The Prison Realm has many talents and one of them is Li Tianxing who has opened all of the extreme states. This is followed by by Shu Ye, who comes from a great background and heritage. Then Fa Bisheng who is the son of the Realm Lord. There is also another one who goes by the name of Jun Wudao, he is very strong and can compete with Li Tianxing. As for the others, they are still slightly weaker than them. But in addition to them, Senior Martial Brother Evil God also has to be added into the list of the top cultivators.”
Zhong Yue’s psyche surged out and visualized the young man that fought with him and Reverse Emperor on the bridge, and he asked, “Is this young man any one of them?”
Of course he knew Li Tianxing as they’ve met before, but he didn’t know Shu Ye and the others.
Ma Sansou looked at the image of the young man and shook, “He is not anyone of them.”
“None?” Zhong Yue exclaimed, and he grew even more pressured. The young man on the bridge had also cultivated the Six Paths Reincarnation and was definitely one of the strongest cultivators of them all. Yet, he was not listed or even heard of by anyone else!
This man was unknown, the Reverse Emperor didn’t recognize him and neither did Ma Sansou. Then, he must’ve hidden his true prowess all this while until now. The Qi Practitioners of Prison Realm mustn’t be underestimated!
All of a sudden, Zhong Yue stopped and looked at a loch beside them that was covered with mist. He could vaguely perceive a palace hidden within the mists, hovering above the loch like a flying castle.
There are no Qi Practitioners here, it seemed like no one has found this place. I can try and explore it to see if there is anything useful for Senior Martial Sister Jun to open her Bloodline Wheel.
He quietly sat down for a few days. Not knowing what he was planning, Ma Sansou could only follow beside him.
Zhong Yue was puzzled, he furtively glanced at Ma Sansou and thought, Why isn’t he leaving at all?
Ma Sansou helped him find Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er, and Zhong Yue hadn’t been threatening him with his life anymore. Logically speaking, Ma Sansou should’ve left already but who knew that Ma Sansou would still be shamelessly tagging along.
Little did he know that Ma Sansou was lamenting in his heart as well, Why isn’t the Blood Bone Evil God letting me go yet? Would he kill me on the spot if I asked to leave now?
He wanted to leave but didn’t dare to ask, whereas Zhong Yue was too shy to ask him to leave after he had been of so much help in Zhong Yue’s quest of finding Jun Sixie and Qiu Jin’er.
Looking at the time now, Brother Bai should’ve been here already… Zhong Yue thought.
Chapter 671: Son of The Monarch |
Another four days went by, a peal of laughter suddenly rushed into their ears, “Brother Zhong, Brother Zhong, are you are… What a huge skeleton! Oh shit, it’s the Blood Bone Evil God! How unfortunate, what did I just say, no wonder my eyelids were thumping heavily just before I arrived! How unlucky that I’ve rushed into such a sinistrous figure! Run, run!”
Ma Sansou looked over and saw a young man with the head of a lamb and a pair of little wings on his back. The young man’s face was pallid and he immediately fluttered his wings in attempt to leave.
Although the newcomer was weak, his running skills were incredible. In the blink of an eye, he had turned into a huge Kun Peng and bolted away into the clouds, leaving a shocked Ma Sansou on the ground.
“Brother Bai, it’s me.” Zhong Yue’s pysche pulsed out and reached the escaping Qi Practitioner.
The young man who was obviously Bai Canghai heard him and stopped instantly. He landed on the ground and turned back to his true form. After he confirmed that the skeleton was indeed Zhong Yue, his face changed drastically and quickly said, “Brother Zhong, I didn’t even curse or bad mouth you before, you turning into this form had completely nothing to do with me!”
Zhong Yue laughed, “Your curse still can’t affect me yet, this surely has nothing to do with you.”
Bai Canghai was quick to explain, “Please don’t say this. There were a few that said the same thing before they died. We formed a party together, and they said that my curse wouldn’t be able to affect them but just after a battle with the other Qi Practitioners, all of them including the enemies died and I was the only one that survived unharmed. After that incident, none of the Qi Practitioners were willing to team up with me anymore.”
Ma Sansou’s face changed drastically, he shouted, “Wait, so you are the Embodiment of Disaster they all talk about?”
Bai Canghai blushed as he answered softly, “Yes, it’s me. And you are?”
Ma Sansou immediately shut his mouth and took a few steps back. He was afraid that he would be affected by the Bai Canghai and didn't even dare to strike up a conversation with Bai Canghai.
I heard that the Left Fang Galaxy has a Comet Innate Spirit Body that even the renowned Bo Qingshan was affected by him and died a terrible death! Bo Qingshan is stronger than me and has many followers under him. Rumors had it that because he had taken in the Embodiment of Disaster as his follower, that was the reason as to why they were all killed in an expedition! Not only that, but a few other teams that took him in were affected as well. All because of this Comet Innate Spirit Body… Is the Evil God planning to bri
ng him along?
Ma Sansou immediately felt like running, Even the invincible Blood Bone Evil God was affected by his curse, there is no doubt that I will surely die a horrible way if he is around us! Darn it, it must’ve been my ancestors that had done too many evil deeds resulting in this terrible luck! There is no other explanation for my misfortune, that must be it!
Bai Canghai was puzzled as to why Ma Sansou was avoiding him so much, he then said, “What a shy boy. Brother Zhong, have you found Senior Martial Sister Jun and Junior Martial Sister Qiu yet?”
Zhong Yue nodded, he told Bai Canghai everything and said, “I plan to enter the palace and see if I can find anything in it that can help Senior Martial Sister Jun open the sixth realm. Brother Bai, what fortunes have you come across here?”
Bai Canghai stomped his feet and answered regretfully, “I guess that I am truly a carrier of bad luck, I didn't come across any treasures and haven't seen much improvement. No one else is willing to take me into their party and allow me to join their expedition.”
Ma Sansou stammered as he abruptly said, “Well, about that… I don’t feel like being around with you either. But… Senior Martial Brother Evil God is here to suppress your bad luck, that Duke be enough right? Senior Martial Brother Evil God, can you really suppress his bad luck…?”
He looked at Zhong Yue while Zhong Yue stood up and said, “We will enter the lough and explore the floating palace.”
“Explore… this place?” Ma Sansou glanced into the mists and exclaimed in shock, “Senior Martial Brother Evil God! You must’ve been cursed by this forsaken Embodiment of Disaster! You can go anywhere but not this place! King Geng was here before but even he couldn’t enter the palace, over dozens of his followers were killed here. Other than that, there were countless Qi Practitioners that died trying to enter as well!”
Zhong Yue heard him and said, “Even King Geng didn’t succeed? Then this is where we shall go!”
Ma Sansou’s face turned pallid, he stared at Bai Canghai and thought, It must be him! The aura of bad luck around him is so strong that even the powerful Blood Bone Evil God was unknowingly affected….
“Brother Bai, say something to bless us!” Zhong Yue said.
Bai Canghai exerted himself and shouted loudly, “I pray that we all die in it, die a horrible way without even plundering any treasures!”
Ma Sansou nearly collapsed on the ground, he was shivering violently and murmured dumbly, “He has placed his curse, please don’t make it come true…”
Zhong Yue was the first to stride into the lough and move toward the floating palace shrouded in mists.
Bai Canghai looked at Ma Sansou and he said smilingly, “Brother, let’s move, shall we?”
Ma Sansou forced himself to follow behind Zhong Yue while he whined in his heart, My ancestors must’ve done something really really bad…
Zhong Yue suddenly stopped and fixed his sights at a particular direction far away from them. Ma Sansou and Bai Canghai quickly stopped behind him and followed his line of sight, but a sky of mist was all they could see.
“Someone else is also entering the lough.” Zhong Yuu abruptly explained, “They are over two hundred in number. Looks like they are an expedition team. Sansou, who is this man?”
He visualized the image of a young man with a dominating aura as if he were the king of gods, and was surrounded by the over two hundred Qi Practitioners in the center.
Ma Sansou’s heart skipped a beat, he exclaimed, “It’s him! Senior Martial Brother Evil God, that is the son of the Realm Lord, Fa Bisheng. He is one of the strongest Qi Practitioners in the Prison Realm!”
“Fa Bisheng, son of the Prison Realm Realm Lord…” Zhong Yue frrowned, he then visualized the image of a lady and asked, “Then who is this lady?”
The lady was dressed like a male scholar and also have many followers with her. Ma Sansou looked over and exclaimed, “She is Jun Wudao! Did they join forces?”
Zhong Yue shook his head as he replied, “Not yet. But they are not far away from one another and will undoubtedly cross paths soon. This lady, Jun Wudao, she is a girl?”
Ma Sansou answered, “Although Jun Wudao sounds like a guy’s name, she is no doubt a lady. Rumors said that he was one of the most talented young cultivators of the Heaven Realm, and also one of the most alluring beauties. However, she was somehow banished to the Prison Realm where she discarded her actual name and took on the name of Jun Wudao. But even in the Prison Realm, she is still one of the strongest Qi Practitioners and is also listed in the top ten beauties of Prison Realm.”
“Why was she banished?” Bai Canghai asked.
“No idea,” Ma Sansou said, “I heard that someone in the higher position had his eyes on her and wanted to take her as his mistress but she publicly declined, making him lose a great deal of face. After that, she was banished to the Prison Realm. However, this is just a rumor I heard, it might not be the actual story.”
Zhong Yue looked at the two parties and frowned as he knew that the three of them would surely at one moment clash with the two parties as long as they all had the same target—the floating palace within the mist!
All of a sudden, Jun Wudao and Fa Bisheng sensed them as well. They looked over and Zhong Yue felt two bright lights flashing into his eyes, blinding him at an instant.
Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou both muffled a deep groan while they covered their bleeding eyes.
“I didn’t harm you, and yet you harmed me?” Zhong Yue sneered frigidly. Fa Bisheng suddenly shuddered violently as Zhong Yue’s voice rumbled ferociously like thunders right in his mind.
He was forced to close his eyes, and the blinding lights disappeared along. Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou heaved a breath of relief, their eyes were nearly crushed by Fa Bisheng's blinding light!
Fa Bisheng suddenly smiled, when he opened his eyes again, he mumbled softly, “Interesting, so this skeleton must be the one they call the Blood Bone Evil God? Indeed powerful, no wonder you were and to such a ruckus in the Ancient Land of God Graves, even King Geng couldn’t stop him. Exchanging strikes from a distance away is no fun at all, I am now anticipating meeting you face to face.”
A lady beside him asked, “Prince, should we notify King Geng? I heard that King Geng had been hunting the Blood Bone Evil God and offered a great deal of fortune for his location.”
“How is King Geng’s treasures attractive to me?” Fa Bisheng shook his head, “Even a chicken is worth more than a wingless phoenix. However glorious his days were, that is all in the past, and I do not need a loser’s help to take down my enemies. Push forward!”
The crowd moves forward, and suddenly, a Qi Practitioner noticed his friend wasn’t moving, he pushed his friend and said while smiling, “The prince told us to move…”
Putong—
The Qi Practitioner’s friend collapsed right on the ground with his seven apertures bleeding out.
“Dead, he is dead!” A lady shouted, and the crowd plunged into chaos.
Fa Bisheng stepped over and inspected his fallen follower, his face was dark and gloomy and he said frigidly, “He is not dead, but has fallen into the illusions from the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation. A small trick like this means nothing to me! Wake up!”
His voice contained the power of the Six Paths Reincarnation that cancels the illusions affecting the fallen Qi Practitioner. The victim slowly wakes up from the illusions, not knowing what happened.
Fa Bisheng then looked at Zhong Yue again, his pupils shrunk to needle points. He thought that Zhong Yue only sneered at him, but never knew that one of his followers were attacked without him even noticing.
If he didn’t wake up his follower in time, the victim would really die in the illusions!
Far away, Zhong Yue led Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou continue on their journey. Suddenly, Fa Bisheng’s frigid voice rumbled over and said, “Your attainments in the Six Paths Reincarnation is no weaker than me, no wonder you were to contend against King Geng. But don’t y
ou know who am I? Don’t you know who my father is?”
Zhong Yue was between laughter and tear, he replied, “You are the one that started it first.”
The two of them exchanged a look and each went on their own way.
Fa Bisheng coldly sneered before ordering the young lady beside him, “Notify King Geng that the Blood Bone Evil God he is looking for is here! Let’s move!”
Whereas Zhong Yue shook his head and thought, Fa Bisheng is strong but weak in heart. His character is far inferior to that of King Geng's. Although he might be stronger than his father at the same level, his leadership is severely lacking in comparison. He might not even be able to reach to the level his father is in now despite the great potential within him.
All of a sudden, a burst of mist blew over from the core of the lough, Zhong Yue stopped and stared at it while Xin Huo prompted nervously, “Careful Brat Yue, this is the air exhaled by an ancient existence, stay away from it now!”
Chapter 672: Lake Like Mirror |
Zhong Yue led his companions around the incoming mist and waited patiently until the mist had passed before continuing on their journey
Ma Sansou was puzzled by his weird actions but didn’t say anything.
As of now, the other two partes had come into their sights. Ma Sansou’s scalp tingled when he saw the mist sweep past over twenty Qi Practitioners on its course. The flesh of the twenty Qi Practitioners fell off from their bodies, their bones were reduced to ash, their Yuan Shen melted away and even their soul was blown apart within the mist!
