Chapter 1113: Old Fools
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Zhong Yue waved his hand, “Mo Yuanlie and I are enemies of life and death, the animosity between us can not be cleared. I did not intend on helping you when I chased him off so there is no need for your gratitude.”
“King Yi, you still did us a favor regardless. You may pay little attention to this matter, but to us, this is a favor that we must one day repay.”
Ge Zhengying bowed toward Zhong Yue and left with his people.
These guys from the Getian Clan are quite impressive, to think that they can still keep their cool and not lose their manners after experiencing such a tragedy and tasting the sweetness of vengeance. They are not bad at all.
Zhong Yue turned around and returned to the Quasi Star Region to continue studying the Innate Lake Dao.
Another half year later, he left the Quasi Star Region.
Quasi Star Region was now half an innate sacred ground, and he was incapable of moving such a sacred ground away. The Innate Lake Dao was left untouched and it was left in the deepest part of the Quasi Star Region.
Quasi Star Region would continue nurturing the innate Dao, and it would later become an innate sacred ground in the future. With that, an innate god will be birthed in this place while the innate Dao was the mother Qi that would give birth to the innate god.
If the Innate Lake Dao was taken away, the innate god would be denied the chance to be born, Quasi Star Region would stop evolving and there would no longer be a chance for the star to turn into an innate sacred ground.
As someone who was showered with blessings from the benevolent Quasi Star Region, not only did Zhong Yue achieve Innate Lake Dao, ascend into the Deity Emperor level, he even managed to injure Mo Yuanlie heavily so how could he repay the star by harming it?
If I have the power to take the Quasi Star Region, I can turn it into a powerful weapon with immeasurable power. If the stars and I could form a link that nurtures both of us, my strength will experience rapid growth and the stars’ evolution would speed up as well.
As much as he was unwilling to leave the stars just like that, he decided not to do anything in the end and left.
Innate Lake Dao is achieved, it is not perfect yet so I would have to make a trip to Lei Zhe to complete the Lake Dao. However, where can I find the Innate Mountain Dao? The universe has Quasi Star Region, Lei Zhe, places where the heaven and earth’s Daos condensed but this Innate Mountain Dao…. I’ve never heard of anyone talking about it, at least not in the Zi Wei Galaxy.
He remained silent for a second before he boarded the thousand winged ancient ship and left.
Let’s head to Goddess Shen Hou in Hua Xu Sacred Ground to acquire the Innate Kui Water Dao and Innate Earth Dao. As for the Innate Mountain Dao, I will have to ask her, with her knowledge, she might know where such a sacred ground may be.
Another few months later, he arrived at his destination. The Huaxu Clan was not within the Imperial Star, it was located somewhere far away from the war for the throne.
Huaxu Clan was both the most ancient race and sovereign race, even moreso ancient than the Fuxi Celestial Race. Back in the Fire Order Era, they were already the sovereign race, standing on an extraordinary level.
Previously Consort Tian Si and Deity Emperor Zhu Xie spread chaos throughout the world but this place was the only place they did not dare to touch for this ancient sovereign race’s power was far beyond what they could imagine.
This was a race that had a Dao God.
As the past body of the Dao God, Goddess Shen Hou was an innate monarch, her strength beyond measure.
This was the second time Zhong Yue came here to meet Goddess Shen Hou and without the need of going through the hassles, he was led right up to the main palace.
“Zhong Yue, you are here at the right time. I only got back recently. If you had come a few months earlier, you would have missed me.”
Goddess Shen Hou took a glance at Zhong Yue and she was surprised, “Heh, you are already in the Deity Emperor level! Seems like you have went on some great profitable adventures!”
Zhong Yue bowed politely, “I found Dao Venerate’s wealth and benefited greatly from it. I am here this time to learn the Innate Earth Dao and Innate Kui Water Dao from you.”
“No hurry.”
Goddess Shen Hou smiled, “I heard that your little lovers from lower worlds are with you right now and here you are, already married with two ladies. I don’t care what you do and what you say, the main wife will have to be our little Qianwen.”
Her teasing left Zhong Yue’s face red.
Goddess Shen Hou continued, “And your little junior martial sister and Senior Martial Sister Jun, my two little disciples must not be left behind by you. I don’t care how many ladies you marry in the future, these girls that I mention you must not disappoint. If you failed to do so, I will guarantee you suffering you do not wish to endure.”
The stupid Zhong Yue murmured, “Goddess, you are overthinking, I don’t have that many ladies.”
Goddess Shen Hou however, continued, “When you become the Heavenly Monarch, even if you do not want to marry other ladies anymore, your position will require you to do so. You will marry a lot of ladies in the future and the number of your concubines will form a lesser Heaven Court.”
Zhong Yue was shocked, his jaws on the ground, “Why would I want so many ladies? Besides, some of the ladies from certain races are not pretty at all to begin with!”
On the other hand, Xin Huo jumped out and shouted, “Fool! Of course it’s for the race’s reproduction! I’ve been teaching you all the while that it is your responsibility to make the Fuxi Celestial Race rise again. Like it or not, you must carry this responsibility!”
Goddess Shen Hou smiled, “Not entirely just for reproduction, it is also to maintain a balance among every race, to keep a good relationship between your race and the other races. In 100,000 years, you will be able to give birth to a massive sovereign race.”
Zhong Yue frowned slightly for if this was the case, he would really become a jerk womanizer.
“It’s been the same for every Heavenly Monarch and it will be the same in the future. That aside, when I headed out back then, do you know who I went to meet?” asked Goddess Shen Hou as some sort of emotions blinked in her eyes.
Zhong Yue shook his head right away, only to have Goddess Shen Hou speaking eerily, “I went to meet my old friends, some old creatures with terrifying backgrounds. They are still alive right now, one being even more energetic than the other, some even knows about you, talk about you, ask about your whereabouts and the way they speak, I’m sure you definitely don’t want to know.”
Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat right away and he shouted, “Evil Monarch and Demon Monarch?”
“Not only them, but there are also even more of them. Of course, I also saw someone who has the same identity as me.”
Hearing this, Zhong Yue had a shock for the only existence that has the same identity as Goddess Shen Hou, was the Dao God’s past body.
And the Dao God’s past body mentioned him?
“The universe is bigger than you and there are more old fools hiding in the dark than you know, the danger lurking around is also greater than you can imagine.”
Goddess Shen Hou calmly said, “These old fools are asking about you from me, which means that you are being eyed by them. You and I must not walk too close for now. You may be good but this is not enough, you have to be even better, until the day where you become an ally of our Huaxu Clan. Only then you will receive our full support. Remember, there are many powerful enemies out there but there are also potential allies you can get, as long as you prove yourself worthy.”
Zhong Yue nodded.
Goddess Shen Hou continued, “Also, you need to know that some of these allies are already too old, they can’t wait any longer for they are postnate living beings. Unlike the innate gods, they are not immortal, they’ve waited for 100,000 years, the longer they wait, the closer they are to dying.”
This message struck Zhong Yue greatly and the silent young man nodded with an empty mind.
Seeing this, Goddess Shen Hou looked at him with pity and said, “This burden shouldn’t have been yours… You are just an ordinary man, a human that could not be any more normal, a sealed Fuxi, having you to shoulder this burden is really… It’s just way too cruel for you. There are clearly better choices but they are all useless! Fu Shang! I am also talking about you! Don’t think that I wouldn’t know you are here just by hiding in that bead!”
The Six Paths Bead vibrated vigorously as Crown Prince Fu Shang definitely heard it.
Goddess Shen Hou sighed, “You are all unworthy! Even if Fu Shang couldn’t shoulder it, the Fengs should’ve handled it but every one of the Feng was lost and they left behind only messes beyond cleaning….”
Zhong Yue on the other hand, smiled, “100,000 years ago, we are all the same. My ancestors come from the Feng branch but we humans have no place in this universe. Wherever we go, we will name ourselves according to the place, if we live beside the water, we name ourselves Shui, if we reside beside the Zhong Shan Mountain, we call ourselves Zhong. Therefore, Feng or Zhong, there aren’t really any differences.”
Goddess Shen Hou stood up and said, “Come with me, I will bring you to the source of Hua Xu Sacred Ground and how much you can achieve will be depending on yourself, I will not teach you, you will have to learn it yourself. With that, even if you lose, those old fools will not be able to blame me.”
“Don’t worry, I will not be defeated!”
A burst of prideful laughter burst out as Zhong Yue shouted, “In the future, you will see yourself supporting me with everything you have, you will honor the alliance contract from 100,000 years ago! The contract between our ancestors and Huaxu Clan, will be realized by me again!”
Goddess Shen Hou rolled her eyes and speechlessly said, “You, are not strong at all but definitely arrogant! I wonder how much it would take to completely break your spirit! Come!”
Zhong Yue followed her and not long later, they arrived at the Hua Xu Sacred Ground’s core, where ordinary Huaxu disciples were prohibited from entering. Every few steps, Zhong Yue would see ancient sacred mountains with giant serpents curling around it. This was a near monarch level existence that guarded this place!
There were hundreds of these sacred mountains and each of the mountains had a peak ancient Imperial Emperor sitting on them!
How seriously Huaxu Clan viewed their sacred ground’s source was very clear to see!
As compared to the Huaxu Clan, the Leizhe Clan was much less cautious; they were forced into the weakest sovereign race apart from Fuxi Celestial Race. Perhaps, this was because most Leizhe were all male, their natural behavior had them to be much more careless than the Huaxu Clan, where the members were mostly female.
In this field, Huaxu Clan had an innate advantage.
After the mountains, Zhong Yue saw shed serpent skins, one after another, these innate serpents’ skin laid around the mountains, giving off a terrifying air for these were the skin shed off by innate gods’ monarchs!
Further ahead, he saw layers of monarch level seals, endless alluring formations lay around the heaven and earth, sealing the Hua Xu Sacred Ground’s source!
The defense here was no weaker than that of the Fuxi Celestial Race’s Ancestral Court!
Of course, the Ancestral Court had Dao Venerate Fu Min’s arrangements that turned it into the strongest killing array in the world, while Huaxu Clan’s monarchs outnumbered Fuxi Celestial Race, they did not merge the killing arrays together, hence, their power was much weaker than the Ancestral Court.
Yet, with that many preparations, the Hua Xu Sacred Ground was essentially impenetrable!
