Mister Bi Luo heard the loud noise and his expression changed slightly, he smiled, “Dao Friend Xian Tian, you are confident, but… I can promise you. We will help you against Dark Monarch, you will help us against the other ancient Deity Kings.”
Rays flashed in Mu Xiantian’s eyes in contemplation, wondering why Mister Bi Luo had suddenly agreed to the alliance. Although he was the one who proposed it, he knew his strength and faction was not in the same league as Heaven’s. In fact, not to mention Heaven, he may not even be Mister Bi Luo’s match to begin with!
Not to mention that his faction was also most probably weaker than Bi Luo Palace.
There must be something else in it for Mister Bi Luo for him to agree with the alliance.
Heaven couldn’t stand the ancient Deity Kings, but it also couldn’t stand a new Deity King rising up. There was no doubt about this!
What is it that Mister Bi Luo has up his sleeves to make him think he can control me? Mu Xiantian thought.
“Dao Friend Xian Tian, as for Heaven, you can ease your worries. Heaven, doesn’t breed fish, nor fish them.”
Mister Bi Luo stood up with a smile, “There are collections of books about the ancient gods in our Bi Luo Palace. Whatever Dark Monarch has, we have; whatever Dark Monarch doesn’t know, we know as well. Most importantly, our Bi Luo Palace has some of Dark Monarch’s cultivation heritage, some even unlearned by you, his very own disciple. If you are interested, you can read them if you want.”
Mu Xiantian’s interest was piqued. Heaven’s abilities were limitless, it could derive all kinds of cultivation arts and techniques. The value of these collections archived in Bi Luo Palace was invaluable, especially Dark Monarch’s cultivation arts and techniques, it was incredibly important to Mu Xiantian!
Although he was Dark Monarch’s disciple, he wasn’t taught the complete cultivation heritage. Dark Monarch had never imparted him with the quintessence of his cultivation heritage. He was merely given the basics and primitive ones and he had to study them on his own.
What Dark Monarch truly gave him was just a shelter.
“Thank you Dao Friend Bi Luo for the help!”
Then, Mister Bi Luo brought him to a treasure vault which stored a vast collection of books. Mister Bi Luo led him to the section where Dark Monarch’s cultivation arts and techniques were archived and he smiled, “Dao Friend Xian Tian, you will have ten days. After ten days, you will have to leave.”
Mu Xiantian looked at the other books, he smiled, “Leaving me here alone, aren’t you afraid that I will also read the other books?”
“You’d be more than amazing if you can finish reading all of the books on Dark Monarch’s cultivation arts and techniques in just ten days.”
Mister Bi Luo opened one of the books and instantly, there were Dao voices sounding from the pages. Then, a wave of dark light blasted out and swallowed Mu Xiantian in it.
“Dao Friend Xian Tian, happy studying.”
Mister Bi Luo walked out of the treasure vault and heard the loud noises again. He traced the noise and moments later, reached to the ruins. There, Zhong Yue and Xuan Ji were battling.
They were both in the level of Deity Emperors. The Deity Emperor level was also known as the Void Realm to indicate the Deity Emperors’ ability to enter the Void World in their spirits and receive worship.
The duo’s battle was fierce and fast-paced as a flurry of skills flew about every single second. Their prowesses were incredible and their cultivation paths were distinct.
Although Xuan Ji wasn’t an Innate Saint Spirit Body, he was much like one, like another Yin Fanxuan. He was able to cast all kinds of skills and all types of Dao at ease, demonstrating an even stronger version of the authentic Innate Saint Spirit Body!
Whereas Zhong Yue was on a different path of cultivation. His cultivation was more focused on himself, strengthening his mortal body and empowering his Yuan Shen. His skills were limited to only a few and the strongest, and most used were none other than the [Dao Crusher]. However, every time he cast the [Dao Crusher], the skill would be different to the previous ones, even the form it took would change every time.
It was still the same skill, but different every time. It really was a headache for Xuan Ji.
They were both powerful enough to threaten each other’s life. Their attacks were merciless, launched with the very intention to kill one another. Thus, there were numerous times they were both on the brink of death and both suffered heavy injuries.
Their skills were just way too strong, overpowering their Immortal Bodies and rendering their last defense useless in the battle. Thus, holding back would mean death.
Mister Bi Luo stood at the same spot unmovingly for two days. Zhong Yue’s and Xuan Ji’s bodies were covered with thousands of big and small wounds, it was an appalling scene of devastation. They were out of gas, their energy, arcane energy, and psyche were beyond exhaustion and over their limits.
“No more!” Zhong Yue allowed himself to fall to the ground on his buttock, he was panting for breath as he waved his hand, “No more, no more! Come at me again and I will use the [Daoless Heavens]!”
“I still haven’t used the Heavenly Daos’ skills, do you think I am afraid of you?” Xuan Ji also collapsed to the ground like a piece of dead meat. He struggled to get up for a few times but gave up soon enough and allowed himself to stay on the ground. He continued sneering coldly, “Go on any more and you will lose for sure!”
Mister Bi Luo frowned softy, he thought, Junior Martial Brother Xuan Ji has always kept his chill, he was never moved even by the most shocking news. But why is his Dao heart shaken so much by King Yi today, even starting an argument like a child?
He couldn’t help but shake his head. The disciples of Heaven had Dao hearts like the mighty skies. They were always unmoved and it was extremely hard for them to be affected by emotions. Their hearts were impervious to the environment, let alone people.
But not only was Xuan Ji goaded by Zhong Yue into a battle, he was also provoked into arguing back at him. Thus, it was only natural for Mister Bi Luo to be surprised.
However, he didn’t comment on anything as his own Dao heart was no any better than Xuan Ji’s. When Zhong Yue plundered the Bi Luo Palace, stole the Tree of Life and caused the Tian Yi to self explode, he too, was affected by the incident and let anger overtake him.
In retrospect, his performance back now was worse than Xuan Ji’s now.
“A Dao companion is truly hard to come by.” Zhong Yue rested a few moments. He struggled to get up and smiled, “It’s really an amazing feeling to be able to find a Dao companion. I’ve had one before, but he died. Then, I met another Dao companion, but I was a little afraid of him, so I took him as a senior martial brother. After that, I met another one who became my wife, so I couldn’t go all out on her anymore. Fortunately, there is still you. The battle with you has helped me learn a lot.”
Xuan Ji sat up, he too, felt the amazing feeling Zhong Yue was talking about. It was a feeling he had never felt before.
As Heaven’s disciple, it was the first time he felt emotions.
In truth, he should’ve never felt any emotions in him at all. As the representative of Heaven in the universe, he was ruled by rationality.
But this feeling of appreciation didn’t feel too bad either.
“We should fight often.” Zhong Yue said seriously, “We will never be friends, its either I kill you or I die by your hands. This way, we will both improve greatly.”
Xuan Ji mulled and suddenly, he saw Mister Bi Luo in the corner of his eyes. He quickly stood up and said, “Senior martial brother.”
“Junior martial brother, your Dao heart is affected by him, you’ve lost your self-control.” Mister Bi Luo waved his hand, “You are dismissed.”
Xuan Ji nodded and left the ruins. Meanwhile, Zhong Yue found himself a huge rock to sit on and rest, he smiled, “Mister Bi Luo, you move like a ghost. I didn’t even notice that you were here.”
“If I wanted to, you wouldn’t even notice me even if I stood right beside you.” Mister Bi Luo also sat down, he smiled, “I come with no ill-intent. Fuxi, you should know, if I really wanted to kill you, I would’ve done it already.”
Zhong Yue kept quiet.
Mister Bi Luo wasn’t boasting, in fact, it was true. If Xuan Ji could deduce Zhong Yue’s identity, of course Mister Bi Luo could do so as well. It was only due to certain reasons unbeknownst to him that Mister Bi Luo let him live.
Or in other words, Zhong Yue was still useful to Mister Bi Luo. The time to eliminate him hadn’t come just yet.
“The Deity Emperor level was non-existent. Back when Great Sui created the totem pattern cultivation system and opened the five secret realms, granting the postnate living beings a way to cultivate and grow as strong as the innate gods, there wasn’t even a Deity Emperor level.”
Mister Bi Luo suddenly changed the topic, he said casually, “The Deity Emperor level is also known as the Void Realm. It is a level newly added after Great Sui created the Void World. The reason for its addition was because, the cultivators in this level will see a great improvement in their atmans, entering the void can greatly hold off the death of their spirits.”
Puzzled, Zhong Yue didn’t know why Mister Bi Luo suddenly started the topic, so he remained quiet and listened attentively.
“Great Sui and the ancient presences didn’t create the Bloodline Wheel and unite the mortal body’s and Yuan Shen’s lifespans together. But he noticed the vast difference in lifespan between the Yuan Shen and mortal body. A cultivator’s Yuan Shen can live six times longer than his body. Hence, he created the Void World and allowed the dead gods to store their spirits in it.”
Mister Bi Luo continued, “He was hoping that one day in the future, the lifespans of atman and mortal body could be linked together and the mortal body shared a longer lifespan, these spirits in the Void World could be reborn. But no matter how many talents had risen and spent their entire lives working for it, they still couldn’t fulfill Great Sui’s wish. Until one day, Fu Min was born. That man, he was a heavenly man——”
His sudden change of emotion when he mentioned Dao Venerate Fu Min had finally broken Zhong Yue’s calm expression.
“A heavenly man, like Heaven, like a man. Heaven knew it all, does it all; Men have emotions, full of weaknesses. Combine the two together, and it is Dao Venerate Fu Min.”
Mister Bi Luo paused for a short moment, then he shook, “Or should I say, Heaven is like Fu Min, the absolutely rational part of Fu Min. Dao Venerate Fu Min had laid down the sixth secret realm, the Bloodline Realm. After the creation of the Six Paths Reincarnation, the gods’ mortal body and spirit will share the same lifespan. Then, the bloom of a new era came, the cosmos was never this lively before. The ancient spirits in the Void World had descended and were reborn into their lives. Countless monarchs were born.”
“They were born after the creation of Six Paths, but are also the longest living ancient monarchs. They took themselves as Dao Venerate Fu Min’s disciples, filled with gratitude toward his deed. It was also them that secured the Fuxi the unworldly land and protected Nong Sovereign so he was only taken as a hostage instead of getting killed.”
Mister Bi Luo looked at Zhong Yue, a mysterious smile radiated spread across his face, he said, “A hundred thousand years ago, the ruthless Dao Venerate Fu Min slaughtered 3,000 ancient monarchs. Among the 3,000, more than 600 were innate monarchs!”
Zhong Yue was shocked while Mister Bi Luo continued, “Initially, the ancient Deity Kings still thought they were his targets, but they never expected Dao Venerate Fu Min’s plan was to leave them with nothing behind. He slaughtered those more than 600 innate monarchs who served them and fished the fishes they bred. All of them, more than 2,000 postnate monarchs., totaled up to 3,000 monarchs, he forged them into the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds!”
“Then, he left 2,000 some monarchs remaining. These were monarchs who were in debt to him, they could be said as his disciples, men that served him their loyalties. They were the powers in the plan he had left behind for his race. A monarch can live up to 120,000 years and it had been a hundred thousand years since the end of the Earth Order Era. In addition to the years of their previous life, these monarchs are now dying. This time, their deaths would be forever.”
Mister Bi Luo said with mixed feelings, “Many of them were hunted down and the rest secluded themselves in their secret hideouts. Dao Venerate Fu Min’s plan is expiring soon. No matter how much he tried, how many cards he left behind, he never would’ve thought that the Fuxi Celestial Race to be so useless for a hundred thousand years. There wasn’t even a single Fuxi strong enough to even carry on his plan, rendering all of his efforts in vain. Useless, worthless. Until you came out of nowhere…”
