Chapter 691: The Cowherd and the Weaver GirlTranslator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
These guys are no weaker than me. Some of them are even stronger than me! With these injuries, any one of them could cut me down easily, not to mention that there are so many of them. The only reason they did not move against me now is probably because of Bi and An.
As celestial emperors of a hundred lives, Bi and An"s strengths were hard to grasp, and if they showed signs of trying to protect Zhong Yue, even King Geng wouldn"t dare to make a move.
Zhong Yue thought, Apart from Bi and An, Jun Wudao and King Geng had seen G.o.ddess Shen Hou and from their looks, they probably know that she"s an innate G.o.d so they are most likely reluctant to deal with me.
In truth, apart from G.o.ddess Shen Hou, they did not act against Zhong Yue was because that was what both the Realm Lord of Prison Realm and Heavenly King Shang hoped for.
This place was extremely weird and the higher the death count, the safer it was for the likes of the Prison Realm Lord and Heavenly King Shang. It was similar to the blood ritual; feeding this place with blood so that it could decrease the risks when they entered this place, otherwise they would probably be teleported to a realm within the Ancient Land of G.o.ds Grave and reborn as a living being.
And if that happened, there would be barely any chances for them to survive.
The Realm Lord that Zhong Yue encountered in the Bone Realm was one of these unlucky ones; he was dragged into the realm by the strange Reincarnation power when he entered the Ancient Land of G.o.ds Grave. As a result, he failed to escape from that place even after his death.
Meanwhile, King Geng and the others more or less knew about this place, thus, they were reluctant to let the Realm Lord and Heavenly King Shang harvest their ripe fruit, and so they stopped pursuing Zhong Yue.
Yu Bochuan laughed and said, “Brother Zhong, as Qi Pract.i.tioners from the same realm, we should deal with those from the other realms. The next battle will not be an easy one, and if we lose someone again, it would disadvantage us greatly. So… what do you say?”
“Of course you"re right,” nodded Zhong Yue.
Yu Bochuan was glad to hear Zhong Yue"s response and said quickly, “Great! Now, things should be smooth sailing if we could peacefully get along with each other for another eleven years. Brother Zhong, let me buy you a drink sometime in the future.”
“Sure. But speaking of which, I think you and I can become close friends. We all came from the Left Fang Galaxy and became brothers with King Geng.”
He then burst out laughing, but as a skeleton, no sound came out.
Initially, he wanted to transmit his laughter through everyone"s psyche ocean, but he discarded this idea in the end.
On the other hand, King Geng let out a cold humph and his expression did not look good at all. Back then, he arrogantly said that he would make Zhong Yue his sworn brother. But little did he know that G.o.ddess Shen Hou"s arrival would force him to flee.
Now, he felt insulted but didn"t want to t admit that he ran away from fear.
But he too, did not want to admit that Zhong Yue was his sworn brother.
After all, he was the younger brother of the previous Realm Monarch, and along with the current Realm Monarch, both of them were the best a.s.sistants of the previous Realm Monarch. With all the power they had, those that got along with them were all the Heavenly Kings, celestial emperors, and Realm lords.
And as for Zhong Yue, not only did he not have fame, power, status, and profound cultivation, but he was a human. And that alone was enough to make King Geng unwilling to become friends with him, not to mention make him his sworn brother.
Thus, he was very conflicted; he wanted to make Zhong Yue surrender and recruit him as his follower as he knew that Zhong Yue was destined to be a major character in the future.
But he never expected that things would turn out the way they did.
I"ve never seen someone with such a thick-skin person! I got up not because of him but because of the innate G.o.d! Forget it, I will just ignore him and pretend like nothing happened. Hmmm… there are four from the Left Fang Galaxy squeezed into the top ten and this is something not to be taken lightly. Li Tianxing, Bi and An and this petty human… Scary….
Upon thinking of this, King Geng felt that things were getting out of hand; among the top ten Qi Pract.i.tioners, four came from the Left Fang Galaxy. He then thought, Is this because of the Heavenly Emerald Dharma King"s teachings? Is she someone with even more hidden talents?
“If we can guarantee we get along for the remaining eleven years, it would become a hard-to-come-by chance.” said Yu Bochuan, “This means that we have acquired a hundred and ten years to cultivate, which is enough for us to rectify our weaknesses. Remember, those from the other realms are not easy targets.”
With a heavy heart, everyone nodded and left.
The main purpose of the Ancient Land of G.o.ds Grave was not because of the many fortunes but because of the flow of time in here. This was a place created by the ancient ones; a day in the outer world equaled ten years here. If they cultivated here for hundred and ten years, it would only be eleven days in the outside world!
“Dear senior martial brothers and senior martial sisters, I will visit you someday, I hope you won"t mind me bothering you!”
The others immediately stopped walking and their expression were very weird; although they agreed to get along for the time being, but to think that Zhong Yue was planning to visit them in their own places?
This was exactly just like entering the enemies" main base and handing over his own life to the opponents. First, the opponent had the advantage in terms of manpower and second, with the blood ritual, the opponent could increase his or her strength drastically, thus, able to overwhelm Zhong Yue easily!
“Zhong Yue of the human race, you are very brave.”
King Geng turned around and said, “I will be staying in the Cauldron Realm and if you dare to come, I will welcome you warmly!”
Zhong Yue waved at him and he transmitted his laughter into King Geng"s psyche ocean.
“Such arrogance!” King Geng vented angrily.
“Then I will await for your arrival in the Frost Realm.” Yu Bochuan added.
“If you dare to come,” said Li Tianxing.
Bi and An then said with happy smiles, “Please come.”
Jun Wudao said softly, “You are welcome anytime. If you actually come.”
Shu Ye said, “I will not take in guests when I cultivate.”
Then they all left and Zhong Yue finally let out an relieved breath. He almost collapsed and he quickly said, “Brother Bai, take us back.”
“Where to?” asked the clueless Bai Canghai.
Zhong Yue turned around and when he looked at Ma Sansou who was almost crushed into meatb.a.l.l.s, he thought for a while and said, “Let"s go to the Eight Dragons Dominator Palace first.”
And right away, Ma Sansou had a bad feeling.
Not long later, Bai Canghai stood in front of the jade pool of Eight Dragons Dominator Palace, Ma Sansou was crying and he complaint, “Please don"t throw me into that pool, there is pee in there….”
Pu tong—
“d.a.m.n you Bai Canghai! d.a.m.n you! You really threw me into the pool! I should"ve known! I shouldn"t have listened to you and peed inside it!” scolded Ma Sansou after he was thrown into the pool.
But his swears fell on deaf ears as Bai Canghai ignored him and said to Zhong Yue, “Brother Zhong, your idea is great. Look at him, able to scold so happily suggests that his wounds are healing… Stop scolding, Sansou, are you not afraid that the pee will enter your mouth? Oh well, it"s your pee anyway so I guess it"s nothing for you.”
“I dare you to come down!” shouted Ma Sansou angrily.
But Bai Canghai shrugged his shoulders and pretended that he heard nothing.
Zhong Yue on the other hand, comforted him by saying, “Sansou, stop scolding him. You won"t know what will happen when it comes to him because of his curse.”
Immediately, Ma Sansou shivered in fear and quickly shut his mouth.
Zhong Yue also started treating his wounds quietly and he thought, It may be good to cultivate in this place, which could allow me to cultivate the Six Path Reincarnation, recover my flesh body but communication with the others is very crucial too. I need Jun Wudao to make a cloak for me at the very least, I have to visit Bi an An for sure and Yu Bochuan is someone I have to pay a visit as well. This is a mystery person and he seems to know a lot of things I do not now. Hmmm, I have to disturb King Geng too…
Few months later, he recovered to his peak state and he could tell that his strength had improved greatly. Bai Canghai had also recovered from the injuries he suffered and for Ma Sansou who suffered even worse injuries, his condition stabilized greatly after healing himself in the pool.
But ever since his sh.e.l.l was destroyed, his mood was not very good because he had lost his greatest card.
As such, Zhong Yue handed over some of his herbs to Ma Sansou and taught him and Bai Canghai the immortal body, “With your base and the Six Path opened, it will not be difficult for you to cultivate the Immortal Body. Now, head for the Song Realm while I pay a visit to the others.”
The two of them immediately returned to the Song Realm and after they left, Zhong Yue thought for awhile and decided to head towards the realm Jun Wudao temporarily resided in as he thought, She is closest to me, let"s pay her a visit first!
Not long later, he arrived at the Jade Realm and notified Jun Wudao and about a few seconds later, Jun Wudao"s voice could be heard saying, “Evil G.o.d, please come in.”
Zhong Yue walked straight forward without hesitation, and after obtaining her permission. He destroyed all the seals and obstacles in his path as he went further into his destination. After a moment, he arrived at a palace where he was greeted by a few ladies who then led him inside.
In the palace, Jun Wudao was surrounded by many Qi Pract.i.tioners and she said in surprise, “Evil G.o.d Zhong, I must praise your bravery for coming alone!”
She then said to her followers, “Leave us. He came alone and if I let you to stay here, it will make me inferior to him. Everyone already thinks that females are inferior to males and I refuse to give them any evidence of that. He strutted in here with such bravery so I must not lose to him.”
Her followers immediately dismissed themselves and left the two alone in the palace.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue looked at this lady that disguised herself as a man, smiled and said suddenly, “If you think that a lady is not weaker than a man, then why the disguise?”
“Because I am afraid of being bothered by men,” replied Jun Wudao, she thought for a while and said, “Since you said so, I will change my attire so you can"t say anything about me again.”
She left the scene and returned in quite a short time; a lady walked out from the back and Zhong Yue"s lit up slightly as he was temporarily stunned.
