Chapter 422 - Disaster Zhong (1/2)

Qiu Jin'er recollected her thoughts, and she asked, "Senior martial brother, you have cultivated the Heavenly Dharma's Avatar?"

Zhong Yue shook his head, he put down the teacup and answered, "Not yet, it is not that easy to achieve Heavenly Dharma. I've only just cleared off the obstacles in my path. During this time, I have journeyed through every crevice of the Ancestral Star, up to the high sky and down to the planet's core. I finally understand the way to acquire my own Avatar, there are no hindrances on my path anymore, all I have to do now is to further build on my cultivation base, and I will then be able to enter the level of Heavenly Dharma smoothly."

Ting Lanyue then asked curiously, "Why is it that you appear to be more … stunning in my senses than the other Heavenly Dharma elders? Although they exude an impressive aura themselves, you…"

She did not finish the sentence, but Qiu Jin'er knew what she meant. The moment Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen returned to his body, the two of them felt an incredible aura emanating from him. It was far more breathtaking than other Heavenly Dharma experts they came across. It was as if he were present everywhere despite him standing just a few steps away from them.

This was something they never saw in the other Heavenly Dharma elders. They usually appear to be incredibly strong, but when compared to Zhong Yue, their strength felt somewhat vacuous; it was akin to the difference between a hollow metal pipe and solid metal cylinder.

Zhong Yue smiled, "This is the difference between yours and not yours."

Ting Lanyue was puzzled, but Qiu Jin'er pondered deeply.

After all these days of experiences, attaining the principles of life and the world, Zhong Yue was able to push his [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] to the Heavenly Dharma level.

The other Swords Gate elders walked the path that had already been trodden by their seniors. Their attainments in the Heavenly Dharma also stemmed from their seniors with few to no insights that were unique to them. Thus, Zhong Yue said 'yours and not yours.'

Zhong Yue's cultivation was unique to him, he carved his own path and had nothing to rely on save for his own talent and perception. It was natural that attainments would be more profound than the other Heavenly Dharma elders'.

One was learning the knowledge of others, while the other was deducing the knowledge himself.

One had to say that the number of Qi Practitioners who surpassed his attainments on the Heavenly Dharma level within the whole Ancestral Star could be counted on one hand!

Although his cultivation had not broken through to Heavenly Dharma yet, Zhong Yue was no longer in the same rush he was before. He understood that building his cultivation base was a process of gradual accumulation, not something that he could achieve overnight.

As long as he has stepped into the level of Heavenly Dharma, he would be able to take his place in the summit of the power pyramid in this Ancestral Star!

...

Faraway from the Great Wilderness, in the East Barren Xian Kong Saint City, Long Yue's body shuddered lightly as Zhong Yue attained the Heavenly Dharma level. A faint resonant aura then rose from within his body.

"Long Yue, are you breaking through to the level of Heavenly Dharma?" Shi Buyi asked in surprise.

Long Yue was in the lord's manor, reporting his duties to Shi Buyi. Other than himself, Lang Qingyun and Qiu Qingshan were also here to report for duty as well. As they heard Shi Buyi's question, Lang Qingyun and Qiu Qingshan were both shocked, and they turned and stared at Long Yue in disbelief.

Long Yue then nodded lightly and answered placidly, "Just a sudden thought that had dawned on me. I am now clear of my path, and it is only a matter of time."

Rays flashed across Shi Buyi's eyes, and he covered it with a loud laugh, "Good, good! You are indeed my excellent disciple! For you to cultivate to the Heavenly Dharma level in such a short period, I'm very proud of you…"

He looked at Long Yue's eyes as a gush of killing intent suddenly filled his heart, I still can't cultivate the Ming King Divine Eye, one day this problem isn't solved, one day I will have to carry such a deadly flaw with me. That Old Brat Feng Shang took advantage of this flaw and gave me a huge blow. However, this little child Long Yue has cultivated the Yin pupil and Yang pupil in place of the Ming King Divine Eye. It seems like that can fix this flaw perfectly! The time is near, patience Shi Buyi, he is going into the Heavenly Dharma level, the time is near…

Shi Buyi had already planned on extracting Long Yue's eyes and implanting them on himself!

As Long Yue was going into the Heavenly Dharma level, the time to reap what he had sown was drawing nearer. How could he not be excited?

However, Long Yue's cultivation progress was incredibly shocking. It was even faster than his during his young age!

It needs to be taken care of before he reaches the Imminent Deity level, I will have to claim his eyes when he ascends into the True Spirit level. Otherwise, I might not be able to fight against him once he becomes an Imminent Deity Qi Practitioner.

The cogs of machination turned in Shi Buyi's mind as his face maintained its warm, bright smile.

Shi Buyi glanced at his three disciples, and he sighed, "I have a total of five disciples. But both Chi Lian and Lian Xin were lost in the unfortunate events. All I have left now are the three of you. And now, because of that Feng Shan, I am plagued with constant pain that is worsening as time goes by. I … I don't know how much longer I can live. The only thing that keeps me alive is the monster race. If the three of you can't cooperate for the future of the monster race, I will not have peace even after death." As he finished his words, a series of loud coughs escaped his mouth with blood trickling out of it.

Lang Qingyuan, Long Yue, and Qiu Qingshan were all moved, they quickly comforted their teacher and swore that they would work together for the future of the monster race.

Shi Buyi was satisfied and he laughed, "Only by joining hands together can the monster race rise high in this world."

The teacher and three disciples looked at one another, and laughter resounded through the lord's manor.

...

Demon Race, Mister Bo Xun's outstanding power had garnered him considerable fame. He was now considered to be able to stand on par with demon grand ancestors like Shura and Yanmo. In addition to Demon Queen, they were the new Ten Talents of the demon race.

The demon race Eight Barren was now in a mess, wars waged across the different races in bids to expand their territories and protect their resources. Blood soaked the ground and corpses lay across the demon land.
