Chapter 649 - Tian Shi, Tian Ting (1/2)

"An experimental field for the Six Paths of Reincarnation?"

The hearts of the Qi Practitioners from the Left Fang Galaxy thumped and Zhong Yue was even more shocked; the news that this place originated from the Earth Order Era deeply shook him!

The news was so groundshaking that even Xin Huo who was slumbering in Zhong Yue's sunfire couldn't help but listen to whatever Bi and An had to say with rapture.

However, Xin Huo was still fused with the sunfire to prevent himself from being found out.

"Xin Huo, did the Six Paths Reincarnation appear before you fell into your slumber?" Zhong Yue asked.

"No," replied Xin Huo without hesitation, "This probably happened after I went into slumber. The appearance of the Six Paths Reincarnation is definitely related to the downfall of the Fuxi Celestial Race! The question is, who created the Six Paths Reincarnation? Is he one of the Fuxi or the other sovereign races? The soul-oriented skills probably appeared during that time too. We must take a look at this experimental field… Shit!"

In a blink of an eye, Xin Huo became completely silent.

At the same time, Zhong Yue felt a wave of energy sweep across the plaza; the energy was abnormally strong, and after scanning across the plaza, it vanished as if it were never there!

Beside the throne of the Realm Lord, the Heavenly King Shang asked one of his subordinates, "Tian Ting, what is this rudeness about?"

The person that swiped across the plaza with his energy was a general called Tian Ting, the latter bowed and apologized, "Apologies my lord, I heard something unusual, it felt like something had hidden itself within the Qi Practitioners, and so I scanned the plaza in search of it."

"I see." Heavenly King Shang turned to the Realm Lord and said, "Realm Lord, my subordinate picked up a minor abnormality. Please forgive him for his rudeness. However, I think that there will be no waves without wind so I suppose that it'd fine if they checked around?"

"No worries, please go ahead."

The Realm Lord replied, "It is also part of your duty, Heavenly King Shang. If you feel the need for an inspection, please proceed freely so long you find out the hidden dangers around here."

"Excuse me." Heavenly King Shang said, and he pointed at another general, "Tian Shi, have a look."

"Yes, my lord."

That general called Tian Shi and nodded. A huge eye ball appeared at the top of his back before he looked at the direction where Zhong Yue stood!

"Tian Jue, check for any unusual movements, I suppose any abnormalities will not escape your senses easily." Heavenly King Shang ordered to another female general."

The female general nodded and closed her eyes. Her psyche engulfed the entire plaza, inspecting the movements of the Qi Practitioners as she covered the surroundings like a net.

"Tian Ming, dive into their life force and check if there is something hidden in it, if there really is something, it will affect the life force of the host and you will find that hidden thing in no time." Heavenly King Shang ordered to another female general again.

With a nod, Tian Ming executed the orders of Heavenly King Shang.

Countless hands emerged from Tian Ming's back, stretching out the fingers while millions of invisible threads flew around, forming a net that shrouded the plaza as Tian Ming started executing her orders.

"Tian Hun, check their souls," Heavenly King Shang continued ordering his generals.

"Tian Gan, pay attention to the heaven and earth's movements."

The eight generals of Heavenly King Shang all performed their duties verbatim. After a few moments, they all ceased casting their skills and Tian Shi reported, "My lord, there is indeed something abnormal happening in the plaza. But it is lifeless, breathless, senseless, mute, with no soul, and cannot be seen."

The 'abnormal' Tian Shi was referring to was of course Xin Huo. Even though they failed to detect him, they still managed to perceive some remnants of his existence.

Heavenly King Shang frowned and murmured in surprise, "Hmmm… strange… Why would there be such things in the Prison Realm?"

"Should we check again?" asked Tian Shi.

"No…" answered Heavenly King Shang, "If you couldn't find it just now, you won't be able to find it out even if you tried another time. Judging from what you said, this thing might be something without life, probably some kind of relic from the ancient ruins, just let it be."

Then, the Realm Lord turned around and asked, "Heavenly King Shang, is everything alright?"

Heavenly King Shang then explained what happened to the Realm Lord, and the Realm Lord said, "Then it's a dead object? Seems like you are overthinking, Heavenly King Shang."

"I'm afraid so." Heavenly King Shang laughed and said, "But it is probably some unique item."

"A unique item of our Prison Realm." added the Realm Lord.

The two gods then smiled at each other, exchanging glance before looking elsewhere.

The Realm Lord then thought,  No wonder he was willing to create such a fuss… Being able to attract Heavenly King Shang, such a treasure must be exceptionally interesting… But it belongs to the Prison Realm. So how dare you try to lay your fingers on it? This treasure belongs to one of them down there in the plaza and it will definitely be used once it's host enters the Ancient Land of the God Graves. It's fine if it's just some ordinary item but if it really is an ancient relic, then I must get it for myself.

On the other hand, Zhong Yue let out a long breath; when the eight generals tried to dig out Xin Huo, his body, soul, Yuan Shen and other aspects were searched thoroughly by them and he even felt that one of these generals was trying to calculate his fate!

Whether it be any race, each and every living creature have their own life and fate decided at the moment of their birth. But all of this can be altered as they come across with new things, new people and new knowledge.

For example, if Zhong Yue hadn't run into Xin Huo, his fate would have remained as that of a mediocre Qi Practitioner. He would live a rather dull life of cultivation before dying and returning to dust. But now, his life had changed drastically after crossing paths with Xin Huo. The miraculous feats that Zhong Yue had performed back in the Ancestral Star would have definitely raised some suspicions, given his background.
