Heavenly Suppression Fortress.
Zhong Yue brought his beautiful wives to enjoy the scenery around, having the time of their lives while they cultivated with each other. With the Tian Pan, Zhong Yue started calculating the Seven Paths Reincarnation, occasionally sharing his knowledge and ideas, showing little to no concern for the frontline.
His own men, apart from the Xian Tian Royal Guards, were all present. No matter how the battle ended or if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian found out his secrets or not, these soldiers were his greatest asset, men that would die with him!
As for Xin Huo, he had been acting strangely ever since the General Assembly of Future Monarchs ended, seemingly looking exhausted, demotivated and showing little interest in everything happening around him. Perhaps, the shock from the Fuxi 22 reigns of Heavenly Monarchs’ arts displayed by Xuan Ji had dealt quite a blow to his spirits.
This little flame only knew 9 era Heavenly Monarchs’ arts and Xuan Ji knew an additional 13 era Heavenly Monarchs’ arts. This was a blow against his pride as the Flame of Inheritance, causing him to feel unworthy of this title.
What shocked Xin Huo even more was that Xuan Ji actually managed to combine the arts together and still got defeated by Zhong Yue regardless!
This made Xin Huo feel even more useless, as even merging all the arts didn’t mean one could be invincible.
In fact, he had previously proclaimed to Zhong Yue that if Zhong Yue managed to merge all the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs’ arts into one, he would become truly undefeatable!
But what Zhong Yue did had flipped Xin Huo’s world view upside down.
The merging of Fuxi Celestial Race’s Heavenly Monarchs’ arts wouldn’t make one unstoppable!
This was quite a blow to Xin Huo’s confidence.
Meanwhile, with the Tian Pan activated, Zhong Yue tried to merge the [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils] and the [Innate Eight Trigrams] together while incorporating the Fuxi Celestial Race’s heritage art. With the Tian Pan right now, Zhong Yue was able to merge even more arts. Although he was still incapable of merging so many arts like Xuan Ji, it was still impressive in its own way.
“Zhong Yue, what’s the point of merging the Fuxi Celestial Race’s arts?”
A disheartened Xin Huo said, “Didn’t you see what happened to Xuan Ji? He perfectly merged the arts together but he was still defeated.”
Zhong Yue smiled back, “Xin Huo, have you forgotten that I am the one that defeated Xuan Ji?”
He looked into the trails left behind by [Innate Eight Trigrams] in the Tian Pan, lights shined in his eyes, turned into Innate Tai Chi, the Innate Four Symbols and finally into the Innate Eight Trigrams and he continued, “I’ve found a way to counter the ancestors’ arts but my own arts are still safe and sound. As long as my arts are still unbreakable, the Fuxi Celestial Race’s arts are all unbreakable!”
Xin Huo stunned for a second and he burst out laughing in happiness, “Yes! That’s it! You are my inheritor, if you are undefeated, I am undefeated! And here I thought I’ve lost, Great Sui had lost! Haha! The great Xin Huo is still standing!”
The little flame’s normal bluster quickly returned as he laughed with his arms crossed in contentment.
After some time, the little flame returned calm and said to Zhong Yue, “You really are a stubborn one, the most stubborn inheritor I’ve ever had!”
The sheer will, commitment, determination and ever-burning confidence shown by Zhong Yue was something Xin Huo had never seen.
Among the many inheritors, Zhong Yue was not the smartest nor the most talented one. In fact, Zhong Yue stood near the bottom among the inheritors in that regard.
When he first met Zhong Yue, the Fuxi bloodline in him was so faint that he would often ignore it unintentionally.
But now, Xin Huo found Zhong Yue to be the one he liked the most out of the many inheritors he cultivated, for Zhong Yue was a stubborn one.
His shortcomings in intelligence and talent was made up for with [Innate Eight Trigrams] created by Zhong Yue, reversing the innate and raising his own talents.
He even gathered everyone’s talent, the future monarchs’ intelligence and in this chaotic world, he was crowned as the unrivaled strategists!
There was one thing Xin Huo was sure of, those who praised and admired what Zhong Yue had achieved would never believe that Zhong Yue was once an ordinary human with little talent!
Because of Zhong Yue’s will, the young human with limited talent now stood near the pinnacle, a feat that few could boast of.
About ten days later, Zhong Yue finally managed to incorporate the [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils] into his [Innate Eight Trigrams].
He activated the [Innate Eight Trigrams], and the [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils] also started running. The moon and sun rose before falling into his eyes, the divine third eye in his forehead opened. In his eyes, the structure of the world started changing.
Before, the mountains he saw were mountains, the water was water, the galaxy was the same old galaxy. But now, in the vision of the Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils, everything was not the same anymore.
Now, he saw the trails of Daos as the Daos ran in the heaven and earth, every flow in the water, the blossom of the flowers, the falling of the fallen leaves, even the ladies’ hairs waving against the wind were all the Daos’ reflection.
This world as he knew it had become even more lively and mysterious at the same time.
In the layers of dimensions, the structures were so clear, he saw time flowing like water, present in every corner and every inch.
He saw the Moon God, the only existence unperturbed by time, in the Heavenly Suppression Fortress. She stood amidst the flow of time, unflinched by the flow, quiet, peaceful yet mysterious.
Zhong Yue was stunned, Moon God turned around and gave him a gentle smile.
Uncontrollably, Zhong Yue lost himself amidst this smile untouched by the river of time. After some time, he moved his vision away and looked deep into the mysterious skies.
Great Si MIng once said that when postnate living beings even dared to raise their head and look into the skies, they were already committing an unforgivable sin for they were prying on the Daos’ power, peeking into the gods’ majestic might and seeking the wonders of immortality.
But now, Zhong Yue learned that the gaze of the first postnate living beings who looked into the skies, it was a gaze filled with curiosity, the eagerness to explore and the burning desire for the unknown.
Great Si Ming said that this sin resulted in aging, sickness, and death in the postnate living beings. But he did not say that the postnate living beings were not afraid of the consequences. The eagerness and desire to explore the unknown was passed down to every generation, one after another.
Under his vision with endless power, the universe seemed like it no longer had any secrets hidden from Zhong Yue.
He finally saw the true visage of the Void World, where endless voids lied at the end of the dimensions, vast with lonely spirits floating around.
This was the Void World created by Great Sui, a dreamland for the postnate living beings to achieve immortality.
Though the Void World could only preserve spirits and not the flesh body, this was still a successful attempt.
The Void World had various shortcomings, for example, only powerful postnate living beings’ spirits could enter, or without constant worship, the spirits would slowly wither away.
Even when the spirits in the Void World wanted to descend, worship was also necessary.
But this place was still a place countless living beings vied to reach, for it was a testament that they lived in this universe!
The valiant spirits of the many races floated there, silent yet saintly. From time to time, spirits would awake from their slumber and descend through a tunnel formed from the power of worship.
Zhong Yue’s vision past the many majestic spirits and started searching for the trails of Fuxi Celestial Race’s ancestors.
And he found them, they were all slowly withering away as the worships of the Fuxi Celestial Race had stopped with the race’s destruction. With his powerful vision, Zhong Yue slowly searched for the ancestors’ spirits.
And the feeling he felt right now was perhaps only a feeling he could understand.
“The young Fuxi from the future… I’ve been waiting.”
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the Void World as a Fuxi Celestial Race’s Heavenly Monarch’s spirit met with Zhong Yue’s eyes, seemingly saw Zhong Yue and a massive psyche entered Zhong Yue’s mind and turned into the voice he heard.
“We’ve been waiting!”
In the Void World, the Fuxi Celestial Race’s monarch spirits stared into Zhong Yue’s eyes while grand voices sounded in his mind.
Their voice gave Zhong Yue the chills and the monarchs’ voices turned into a torrent that exploded in his mind, “Xin Huo’s inheritor, come, to the Void World, heed our summon!”
Yet, the monarchs’ psyche was cut off without a sign, vanished and disappeared, silenced by an unknown power!
Then, from the deepest part of Void World Zhong Yue saw a sky split apart like curtain, blocking off the gaze between him and the monarchs!
“What is that!”
Disbelief overwhelmed Zhong Yue for that curtain was so huge and vast, it blocked off the entire Void World that Zhong Yue’s gaze could include and every sense he felt!
The Three Eyes Heavenly Pupil which was also a type of sense was cut off as well, preventing him from seeing the Void World and everything he saw now was covered by a layer of gray mist!
A Treasures of Heavenly Daos!
The sky curtain’s presence was not unfamiliar to Zhong Yue, it was the presence of a Treasures of Heavenly Daos and it sealed the connection between the Fuxi Celestial Race’s ancestor spirits in the Void World and the lower worlds.
Which meant that Heaven is also related to our Fuxi Celestial Race’s destruction. Unlike how saintly and valiant it appears in the eyes of the living beings, Heaven played a dirty role?
Zhong Yue steadied himself quickly. The monarchs spirits in the Void World reached out to him, summoning him and wanted him to enter the Void World!
So what must be done to enter Void World?
Not to mention that there were Treasures of Heavenly Daos in the Void World. Would he be able to escape from its detection?
Monarch Hao Yi’s spirit once descended from the Void World, which meant that the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] could breach the barrier between the void and reality. Upon reaching a higher level in the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], I will be to enter the Void World! Hmm, but the Void World prevents all fleshly bodies from entering and only Yuan Shen is permitted to enter. Can my Yuan Shen enter the Void Realm through the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] and meet with the monarchs?
Zhong Yue frowned again for if his Yuan Shen entered, how was his Yuan Shen supposed to get out?
In the Void World was a sky curtain that stopped the monarch spirits from descending. If his Yuan Shen entered, it would be blocked off by the sky curtain. With the Yuan Shen unable to return to the body, his body would eventually die a slow death!
Hence, a way to bring along the body into the Void World was necessary for only through this specific way would he be able to ensure his safety!
Hmmm, will the Space Seven Paths Reincarnation be able to bring me in?
Light flashed in his eyes, light wheels spread behind his head, the Seven Paths Reincarnation rotated rapidly, cutting the dimension apart. With a loud explosion, Zhong Yue vanished!
