Zhong Yue handed the Six Paths Beads to Yin Fanxuan and asked Crown Prince Fu Shang to protect her while he paid close attention to his wife’s situation on the other side.
So far, there were three types of seventh secret realm that he knows.
His Space Secret Realm that was intended for the creation of the Time and Space Reincarnation; Feng Xiaozhong’s Cosmic Secret Realm where all the cosmic powers were coalesced into one single force; and Yin Fanxuan’s Million Daos Secret Realm that merged a million Daos to obtain the power of a million Daos.
Imperial Emperor Xian Tian also started developing his seventh secret realm but Zhong Yue had not had the chance to identify his seventh secret realm’s type.
Given how differently their seventh realms manifested, it was evident that the seventh secret realm still largely remained a mystery and that there was more to be explored. There was simply no way to conclude that there is one true realm to be cultivated as the seventh.
Among the three types of seventh secret realm, only Senior Martial Brother Feng’s Cosmic Secret Realm is the real one, Fanxuan’s and mine are not!
Zhong Yue’s eyes wavered, Apart from these three, will there be the fourth and even more types? Hhmmm, there must be more than just three!
Before a new cultivation system was confirmed, there was bound to be endless contention over what the truest path was. But once that truest path was fixed, those that were deemed difficult or proved to be useless would always be dropped, leaving only one or two that would usually be carried over as part of the general cultivation system.
Hence, after the Seven Paths Reincarnation was created, some things were destined to be swept to the corner, even if they were good.
Taking Zhong Yue as an example, he had cultivated the Space Secret Realm to complete his Seven Paths Reincarnation. But given the difficulty of achieving the Space Secret Realm, it was destined to never be adopted as the common path.
This meant that after Zhong Yue’s death, the cultivation path of Space Secret Realm as the seventh secret realm would also die out simply because no one could cultivate it. Eventually, it would be lost in overtime.
This was the same for Yin Fanxuan’s Million Daos Secret Realm that only the Innate Saint Spirit Body could achieve; given how rare an Innate Saint Spirit Body was, it wouldn’t take long for her Million Daos Secret Realm to be forgotten after she was done.
As for Feng Xiaozhong’s Cosmic Secret Realm, although it was best suited for Innate Galaxy Spirit Bodies, it was still rather accessible for others. Therefore, there would be many more cultivators of this seventh secret realm compared to the Space and Million Daos Secret Realm. It might not be the best but it was the most widespread one, making it likely to be adopted as the orthodox path.
This had been the same when Dao Venerate Fu Min created the sixth realm, the Bloodline Wheel. During the inception of the sixth secret realm, there had been a flurry of exploration and experimentation before the Bloodline Secret Realm was formally adopted into the universal cultivation system!
Zhong Yue’s eyes lit up and he started panting.
A 100,000 years had passed, but not all of those ancient ones were dead, some may still be alive. They had definitely cultivated the proper Six Paths Reincarnation after it was fixed, and with the addition of the other secret realm they have created during the exploration stage, that made them with a total of seven secret realms! Have they perfected the Seven Paths Reincarnation? If so, what are they?
To think that some of these horrifying existences were still alive and hidden somewhere in the corners of this world. It was more than just exciting!
Zhong Yue thought more, When Dao Venerate Fu Min was still the ruler, the mastermind of the Six Paths Reincarnation, all of the knowledge and mastery developed around the Six Paths Reincarnation from the many strong ones would all definitely ended up with him!
This also meant that all the information and knowledge from the ancient presences were all within Dao Venerate Fu Min’s grasp!
This would’ve been so priceless that even Dao Venerate Fu Min would not bring it into his grave, he would have definitely stored it away somewhere safe!
5,000 monarchs and all their knowledge of the Six Paths Reincarnation, there is bound to be endless wisdom hidden within that I could use for the Seven Paths Reincarnation!
He blinked his eyes, But where could Dao Venerate Fu Min possibly have hidden this wealth?
His mind flickered quickly; Dao Venerate Fu Min must have left it behind but where? Had someone found it already?
The Fire and Earth Order Era’s Heavenly Sovereigns and Earthly Sovereigns passed down their arts through Xin Huo. If Dao Venerate Fu Min predicted the future’s tragedy, how else would he pass down this knowledge?
Zhong Yue’s heart thumped, he suddenly took out the innate divine saber and examined the hilt that was once the hilt of Dao Venerate Fu Min’s monarch sword — the Heavenly Monarch’s power hilt.
If Dao Venerate Fu Min had left behind the heritage, chances were that it would be hidden within this hilt!
Zhong Yue’s psyche surged into the sword hilt; this Heavenly Monarch’s power hilt was vastly powerful, Zhong Yue had not fully explored it yet and he felt just like an ant as he stood before the terrific power that came in the form of a massive galaxy!
Heavenly Monarch’s power hilt’s interior felt just like there were endless dimensions and the hilt’s energy was scattered within these dimensions, remaining hidden and concealed.
Zhong Yue patrolled around, taking a close look at these dimensions. After some time, he retracted his psyche as he discovered nothing.
Does the crown prince know about this heritage?
As Yin Fanxuan was forcefully opening the seventh secret realm, she lost control of her power and Fu Shang immediately helped her suppress the rampaging energy. Then, Zhong Yue asked Fu Shang on the matter, the latter stuttered and shook, “I’ve never heard anything like that from father.”
“Not even you?”
Zhong Yue was disappointed but that did not stop him from carrying Yin Fanxuan away to help her treat her wounds. If it’s not passed down to the crown prince, then where did Dao Venerate Fu Min leave his heritage ? In the old Imperial Star? The Earth Order Era’s Imperial Star was blasted into pieces that had become the few State of Heavenly River….
It was now impossible to start from the old Imperial Star and even if Dao Venerate Fu Min’s heritage was hidden in the Heaven Court, it was blown away along with the old Imperial Star.
If he knew what was coming, he wouldn’t have left it there.
Meanwhile, Yin Fanxuan regained consciousness and the pair returned to the bead. Not long later, just as Zhong Yue was about to carry his unconscious wife away, Fu Shang suddenly said, “Father once told me that there was something important hidden within the ancestor ground.”
Ancestor ground?
Zhong Yue’s heart tightened, “Which one?”
The Fuxi Celestial Race’s ancestor grounds were the Leizhe Celestial Race’s Leizhe Sacred Ground, the Huaxu Clan’s Huaxu Sacred Ground, the Ancestral Star, and the Ancestral Court.
The Leizhe and Huaxu’s sacred ground was Sui Sovereign Yanzi Clan’s ancestor ground and as the Fuxi Celestial Race were descendants to the Yanzi Clan, those two sacred grounds were also Fuxi Celestial Race’s ancestor grounds.
When Sui Sovereign became the monarch, he was based in the Ancestral Court and after that, he forged the largest land in the Ancestral Court into the Ancestral Star.
The Ancestral Star was the Imperial Star back then and after Zi Wei Galaxy was found, the Imperial Star changed as there was a new one in the Zi Wei Galaxy and with that, the Ancestral Star became the ancestor ground; Sui Sovereign then created the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarchs that led all the way into the Ancestral Star, where the many generations Sui Sovereigns would be buried after their passing.
And the Fuxi Celestial Race later on also continued this tradition.
With that, the four places were all Fuxi Celestial Race’s ancestor grounds.
“That I do not know, father did not tell me much about this.”
Fu Shang shook and said, “He said I can not know too much about it.”
Zhong Yue remained silent but in his heart he was entirely on Dao Venerate Fu Min’s side for with Fu Shang’s behavior, he would definitely announced it to the world upon receiving this heritage, use it to strengthen the other races, plunge his own race further down to the abyss and speed up the Fuxi Celestial Race’s destruction!
I can’t go back to the Ancestral Star now, I’ve been to the Leizhe Celestial Race and if Dao Venerate Fu Min hid the information there, the Lei Zhe Celestial Dragon would tell me about it. The Huaxu Celestial Race doesn’t particularly have a friendly relationship with me, I may have been there but I have no idea what Goddess Shen Hou’s thinking is. And she also only appeared much later on when I was in the Wei Shen Six Paths Realm. If Dao Venerate Fu Min really did leave it in Huaxu, there is no way that Goddess Shen Hou would know anything about it. The most likely place would be the Ancestral Court!
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue had already located the Ancestral Court but he just did not have the time, not to mention that the war for the throne was about the erupt anytime soon, which would make him even busier.
Perhaps, Dao Venerate Fu Min did not put it in the ancestor ground but the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarchs. Senior Martial Brother Feng once said that there is something I needed in Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarchs… Could it be that when he came to the Zi Wei Galaxy through the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarchs, he found what Dao Venerate Fu Min left behind throughout the way?
The chances of this were actually quite high.
Fu Shang said Dao Venerate Fu Min left something in the ancestor ground, Senior Martial Brother Feng said that there is something I need in Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarchs. Just what are the things left behind in these two places?
On the other hand, with Fu Shang and Zhong Yue guarding her, Yin Fanxuan’s seventh secret realm was much easier to open than Zhong Yue’s. Sometime later, she was already able to open the seventh secret realm, but only for a limited time and it would take a very long time until she managed to merge the seventh secret realm with the Six Paths Reincarnation.
“Darling, your new wife came here all the way from such a far place and it is not good that you kept keeping my accompanied.”
Yin Fanxuan smiled, “I need some time to get a grasp on what I acquired for now. I need to focus right now so don’t you make Sister Hexi sad.”
Zhong Yue nodded, went to see Jin Hexi and she was planting the new Fusang tree branch and the fiery coral tree was planted right beside the tree branch; the tree branch was absorbing the fiery coral tree’s chaotic fire and Qi, started to grow taller and taller.
Zhong Yue stood behind her and the lady turned into a fiery bird, dragged a miniature sun behind her, circled around the tree branch and nurtured the little tree.
After some time, Jin Hexi stopped and after seeing Zhong Yue, she smiled, “Darling, we have yet to arrange a marriage, we are only engaged, you shouldn’t be here.”
Zhong Yue laughed, hugged her without hesitation and smiled warmly, “If I did not come and see you, will you be willing enough to marry me?”
Jin Hexi immediately pushed him away and said embarrassed, “The servants are still here, you are the master, please watch your manners.”
The female servants all giggled and they quickly left as they smiled, “Master, Goddess Xi, we will now take our leave.”
After the female servants left, Zhong Yue romantically carried the lady in his arms, walked towards the room and Jin Hexi shyly said, “You are now trying to do something that can only be done after marriage, have you forgotten the traditions? Are you not afraid of being punished by my teacher?”
“We have done this long ago, did we not?”
Zhong Yue playfully smiled, “Did Goddess Xi forget?”

On the other end, Fu Baotian arrived at the Imperial Star and requested to see the Heavenly Monarch, telling him that although he surrendered to Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, he still sided with the Heaven Court and that King Yi had killed his two best friends. As such, the angered Fu Baotian ran away from Xian Tian Palace to defect to the Heavenly Monarch.
The Heavenly Monarch was very pleased with this and immediately rewarded Fu Baotian greatly but not before naming him a general.
“Mister Mo, Gui Shi… Fu Baotian came and surrendered to us, what is he seeking?” asked Heavenly Monarch Di Ming as he dismissed Fu Baotian and invited Mo Yin and Gui Youmin over.
Mo Yin gave a little time to think and he smiled, “King Yi is going to die soon.”
Gui Youmin also realized this after it was pointed out, “Yes, he is going to die soon.”
“How so?” asked the Heavenly Monarch.
Mo Yin however, remained silent after glancing at Gui Youmin.
