Chapter 1161 - : Who Can You Trust Your Life To (1/2)
In the Ancestral Court, the Heavenly Monarchs of Fuxi and Yanzi placed down layer after layer of slaughtering arrays and seals. Then, Dao Venerate Fu Min linked the corpses of the 3,000 ancient monarchs to Ancestral Court, effectively turning it into the strongest and most terrifying slaughtering array in the cosmos!
The Fuxi Imperial Star was the burial ground of the Yanzi Heavenly Sovereigns and Fuxi Earthly Sovereigns. Their monarch weapons were all stored in and guarded over their own imperial tombs.
From King Xiang’s words, it seemed like the culture of setting up the imperial tombs in Ancestral Star was arranged by Great Sui against Dark Monarch and the others. With the imperial tombs, the Ancestral Star would be turned into a great slaughtering array that was no weaker than the Ancestral Court, it could be said to be the second strongest slaughtering array in the cosmos!
If the Ancestral Star was returned to Ancestral Court, what sort of unworldly powers would be unleashed by the first and second strongest slaughtering arrays together?
Even Zhong Yue couldn’t imagine it.
Once the Ancestral Star was returned to Ancestral Court, it would become the last line of defense for the Fuxi Celestial Race, able to be used both offensive and defensively offense and also defense. The Ancestral Court will become our greatest trump card and carry the light of hope for the Fuxi’s rise!
Zhong Yue inhaled deeply, he bowed and thanked King Xiang again.
On the other hand, King Xiang quickly waved his hand and said, “Don’t thank me, I didn’t provide you any guidance, I didn’t teach you any knowledge nor imparted you with any arts. We merely conversed and I lent you a leg of mine which I expect to be returned to me in the future. I am a timid one, it’s already a bold move for me to actually meet and talk to you. Don’t come and find me anymore after this, I don’t want to get dragged into your messes! Quickly leave, go away!”
Zhong Yue sailed the thousand-winged ancient ship and left, his heart was still pounding in shock.
The day when the Ancestral Star was returned to the Ancestral Court would be the day of the final showdown!
In King Xiang’s cave, Gui Tree was talking like a chirping bird, “Master, quickly teach me how to transform, I want to go out and have fun in the outside worlds!”
“Have fun?” King Xiang sneered coldly, “Look at how messy it is out there now. You are not heading out to have fun, you are heading out to get eaten! Careful of what you wish for! But…”
The old turtle thought, he said, “Those old fools and Heaven are extending their hands in worldly affairs now, even fighting for the throne of Heavenly Monarch and trying to snatch domination over the universe from Heaven’s ruling. A new age of chaos is coming, there will be dangers after me if I still keep on laying low. Hmm, I need a disciple to walk the worldly worlds for me, one that will not put shame to my name…”
His turtle shell hovered up in midair, the patterns on the shell glimmered rhythmically in a mysterious pattern. It looked like he was running calculations to divine the future.
“It’s a mess, it’s all messed up now. These fools have messed it all out, the future is unforeseeable!” The turtle shell returned to King Xiang’s back, he said, “You’ve followed me for a long time, born symbiotically with my birth. You are a Dao Friend to me and have helped me through many deadly incidents. I owe you greatly. But you were unable to cultivate and I wasn’t able to grant you a soul. But it is not the same now, you have a soul from the Fuxi, you can now cultivate. Now then, I will take you as my pupil…”
“Pui, what a shameless old turtle!” Gui Tree said angrily, “I was still your Dao Friend a moment ago and now you are degrading me to your disciple? How shameless!”
King Xiang’s face blushed as he answered, “I’m to teach you cultivation, wouldn’t that make me your teacher? Furthermore, you are not strong now, if there wasn’t someone like me sheltering you, you’d be killed sooner or later. How about this, I’ll let you choose. One, you and I remain as Dao friends, I will teach you the ways of cultivation but you cannot use my name in the outside worlds; two, be my disciple, I will teach you the ways of cultivation and you will be able to shelter yourself with my name in the outside worlds. No matter what troubles you’ve gotten into, I will come and get you out of it. You choose now.”
“The second choice!” Gui Tree said decisively, “If you are there to handle the messes I’ve gotten into, of course I will have to choose the second option. Being your disciple is no big deal, it’s only a matter of putting myself a generation lower than you.”
King Xiang’s face turned gloomy, “Don’t you swear and curse that much! I am also a reputable and knowledgeable man, having accumulated many virtues over the years. You acting so unscrupulous will put shame on my name.”
“Your mother I will keep that in mind.”
King Xiang was speechless, he paused for a moment and continued, “You will inherit my surname of the turtle’s Gui, pronounced the same as Gui Tree’s Gui. You are the Gui Tree, so you will be named Guihua.”
Gui Tree was stomping her roots in anger as she refused, “What the? If I turned out to be a monarch in the future, am I to be called Monarch Guihua? You just said you were knowledgable, can’t you come out with a better name?”
“Chi!” King Xiang sneered and dismissed her, “Strength doesn’t come from a good name! If you are powerful enough, whatever name you possess will still sound domineering to others; on the other hand, if you have a good name but are a useless one, that would really be a joke! Nevermind the names, just cultivate under me!”
…
The thousand-winged ancient ship sailed out of the Heavenly River, Zhong Yue turned back to look and was stunned by its grandiose appearance. He praised, “What an amazing monarch weapon!”
Xin Huo was puzzled, “Monarch weapon? What monarch weapon?”
“The Heavenly River.” Zhong Yue smiled, “King Xiang is truly incredible despite failure of opening a new world. This Heavenly River contains his Daos, doesn’t it make it his monarch weapon? Not all ancient Deity Kings are bad guys. I’m hoping to see him pick up the Heavenly River one day in the future, it must be a spectacular view.”
Xin Huo looked at the grand Heavenly River through Zhong Yue’s eyes, he was also stunned.
The Heavenly River was way too huge, spreading great length and width. If the Heavenly River was really King Xiang’s monarch weapon, what kind of power would it display when it was wielded?
“Zhong Yue, what cultivation level are you on now?” Xin Huo suddenly remembered and he quickly asked.
“Still a Deity Emperor, I guess?” Zhong Yue was unsure himself, he answered, “Although I have disintegrated my spirit and reopened the secret realms, I have not reached the level of Creator yet. But my visions ahead have turned translucent, it feels like I could break through the levels in just a step as if the bottlenecks between levels don’t exist anymore.”
His expression was strange and weird, filled with questions. The cultivation levels of Qi Practitioners and gods were laid down by Great Sui, separated into stages and levels by the challenges they had to face at each level.
But as he recreated the Dao Yi Secret Realm and evolved the Innate Eight Trigrams Sacred Ground, he was at the point of deviating away from the conventional cultivation levels set by Great Sui. The lines of separation between the cultivation levels had now become blurry to him.
