Chapter 772 - Lashed! (1/2)
Zhong Yue carefully examined the types of Dao contained in the Innate Dao Fruits. There was the Innate Celestial Qi, the Innate Demon Qi, and both of the two could each be divided into another nine streams of equally powerful yet different Daos.
He also saw the Innate Five Elemental Qi that was further divided into five types, if he could attain all five of the Innate Five Elemental Qi's Innate Dao Fruits, his attainments in the Dao of Five Elements would improve tremendously. But it was a pity that he could only choose one fruit.
Then, there was the Dao fo Yin Yang that was divided into nine types, each of which was able to propel his Innate Tai Yang Qi or Innate Tai Yin Qi to the extreme.
There was also nine types of Innate Lightning Qi, containing the ultimate art of the Dao of Lightning.
Other than that, there were also nine types of Innate Dao Fruits of the Dao of Time, Space, Life and Destruction, Changes, Emotions; four types of Dao of Myriad.
Zhong Yue counted a total of 99 Innate Dao Fruits, any one of them contained boundless knowledge. One Innate Dao Fruit alone was enough to propel him further in his path of cultivation extensively.
But if he was looking at reaping the most benefit from it, the best option would be to chose from the Dao of Yin, Yang, Celestial, Demon, Lightning, and Changes. If he intended to seek more innate Qi, he would have to look at the other selections, such as the Dao of Time or Dao of Space that could help him in his cultivation of the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture].
Or maybe I should choose the Dao of Yi, after all, Fuxi resembled the Yi, changes.
Zhong Yue carefully inspected the nine Innate Dao Fruits of the Dao of Yi and pondered deeply. Then, he nodded and reached for one of the nine fruits, before suddenly stopping again just inches away from plucking the Innate Dao Fruit down from the tree.
Zhong Yue pulled back his hand and looked down at the roots of the Innate Dao Tree in the soils. The soil was formed from Chaotic Qi and served as the nutrients to the Innate Dao Tree.
"Xin Huo, how about the Chaotic Qi?" Zhong Yue's eyes were blinking in rays as he asked.
"That's some super valuable treasures!" Xin Huo said excitedly, "The Chaotic Qi is one of the best gifts of the universe. It is the primordial Qi that has existed since the birth of the universe. Even the Innate Dao Tree can only bear the Innate Dao Fruits after being nurtured with Chaotic Qi! But Chaotic Qi is incredibly rare nowadays, perhaps this is the only place that has it in all of the 3,000 Six Paths World… What are you doing!?"
Zhong Yue was drawing out the twin divine sabers and merged them into a lightning furnace. He then cast the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace Scripture] at the Chaotic Qi, trying to refine it into the furnace!
Xin Huo was speechless, he quickly said, "Brat Yue, are you not afraid of death! This is the Innate Dao Tree's nutrients, if Lei Zhe knows that you are plundering his tree's nutrients, he'll absolutely end your life!"
Zhong Yue acted like he didn't hear Xin Huo and continued regardless, "How can he not know what am I doing here? This is his territory. He very well knows what I am doing, but he isn't stopping me. Clearly, he has tacitly agreed to it. Woah, it's heavy!"
It was just a small surge of the Chaotic Qi that the lightning furnace absorbed yet it showed signs of returning back into twin sabers!
Zhong Yue was shocked and Xin Huo gave a cold sneer, "The Chaotic Qi is much heavier than the weight of the White Luminant Gold. A surge of it is heavy enough to shatter your soul weapon, even your mortal body cannot withstand it at all! None of your treasures will be…"
Then, Zhong Yue took out the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror and asked Xin Huo to take the place of the mirror spirit. With that, he kept another surge of Chaotic Qi in the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror.
"Stop! Not anymore!" Xin Huo watched as the Chaotic Qi entered the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror and shuddered the continent in the mirror to the verge of crumbling and he shouted, "Any more will crush the mirror!"
It was only then Zhong Yue stopped, he scratched his head and a few moments later, his eyes brightened up and took out a shabby copper lamp.
Xin Huo immediately snapped, "That is my house!"
Zhong Yue winked his eyes, "The oil's finished."
"I know, but that is my house!"
"There's no more oil in it."
"BRAT, I'll kill you!"
…
As he watched the Chaotic Qi flow into the copper lamp, Xin Huo's heart would ache every time he saw the lights in the galaxy inside of the lamp extinguishing under the weights of the Chaotic Qi.
"The Chaotic Qi is really heavy, many times heavier than the White Luminant Gold. If I can use it as a crafting material…"
The thought flashed by his mind and he shook at it. If he forged even a small surge of the Chaotic Qi into divine sabers, they would grow too heavy for him to even wield.
"But regardless, it's good stuff."
He continued casting the copper lamp and sucked the Chaotic Qi into it. One must say, although the copper lamp was shabby, it could contain much larger capacity of Chaotic Qi in it than the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror. Even after half of the galaxy in it was destroyed, the copper lamp was still able to take in more.
"Lei Zhe isn't stopping me, seems like he doesn't really care about the Chaotic Qi. If that's the case, then I guess I will just keep it all." Zhong Yue mumbled to himself.
It was at that moment, the Chaotic Qi billowed vigorously and shocked Zhong Yue. Then, the Innate Dao Tree beside him suddenly uprooted itself, scooped all of the Chaotic Qi away with its branches and bolted away!
The Innate Dao Tree's leaves wavered in the breeze, its branches and roots carrying the Chaotic Qi with the bigger roots moving like legs allowing it to run away from the shameless thief.
Zhong Yue quickly tucked the copper lamp into his Yuan Shen secret realms, he lunged forward and held himself onto one of the many roots.
Pak, pak, pak—
The Innate Dao Tree's branches lashed on his back and butt like whips, creating long and deep wounds on him.
Yet, Zhong Yue gritted his teeth, not wanting to let go no matter what. Even when the branches had lashed on his hands, forcing him to let go. But his lower body abruptly turned into a snake tail and clung back on the tree.
"Xin Huo, quick, take the rest of the Chaotic Qi!"
