Chapter 736: Strange Mist
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In the Heaven Court, the many gods and Qi Practitioners were at a complete loss the scene became blanketed in shocked silence.
Apart from them, even those from Bo Luo Six Path World kept quiet as well as the Heavenly Kings and Realm Monarchs.
Everything was eerily quiet as they have all yet to shake off the impact brought by Zhong Yue’s victory.If Zhong Yue won against Prince Bo Di at the first round, they could still say that it was because Prince Bo Di underestimated his foe but there was no more excuse after Prince Bo Di lost with his full strength!
The title as the strongest Qi Practitioner among the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds was held by Prince Bo Di for such a short time before he single handedly lost it to an unheard human.
Meanwhile, Zhong Yue stood on the bow of the ship and he was extremely calm and quiet. He looked at the vast Bo Luo Six Paths World Heaven Court and the many Realm Monarchs.
In his eyes right now, the faces of the Realm Monarchs were all extremely blurry and he couldn’t tell who was who.
“Hahaha, the strongest among all in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds….” said someone among the Realm Monarchs mockingly.
Realm Monarch Bo Luo on the other side, kept calm and glanced at the direction where the sound was heard and he said, “Truly impressive. Little friend Zhong, don’t worry of being seeked revenge by me. You defeated my child fair and square and if I seeked trouble with you after this, I will become the laughing stock to the world. I suppose I am quite a positive person.”
With that said, the many gods and Qi Practitioner including the Realm Monarchs all felt relief; previously, the silence was starting to become suffocating, and if Realm Monarch Bo Luo was truly angered, then perhaps Zhong Yue would already a pile of minced meat now.Heavenly King Shang wiped away the cold sweat on his head. He was terrified by what had transpired just now. Zhong Yue not only defeated Prince Bo Di twice in a row, but he even shamed Prince Bo Di and also Realm Monarch Bo Luo!
The cause of this fight was all because Realm Monarch Bo Luo wanted his son to defeat Zhong Yue so that Prince Bo could wash away the taint in his reputation. Now however, not did the stain remain, but it even confirmed the rumours saying that Realm Monarch Bo Luo set Zhong Yue up to prevent him from entering the competition!
If it were me, I will not be able to suck it up and I will definitely kill Zhong Yue if I were Realm Monarch Bo Luo. With such attitude and temper, no wonder Realm Monarch Bo Luo is the Realm Monarch and I’m just a Celestial Emperor.
Heavenly King Shang praised in his heart as he bowed at Realm Monarch Bo Luo, Realm Monarch Yunshan and the other Realm Monarchs. He then excused himself from Heavenly King Fu and urged Yu Bochuan, Shi Yinji and the others to board the ship and they left quickly as he didn’t dare to tarry any longer.
Linger any longer and he felt that his head could no longer rest on his neck safely, thus, he felt that only by leaving would he secure his life.
And Heavenly King Fu stood there like a statue slackjawed. He didn’t feel anything when Heavenly King Shang bade farewell with him as he had yet to recover from the shock.
“Father, let us flee now!” suggested a trembling Shi Qie’er with a pale face, “Let’s run! You publicly gifted him so many gifts and everything was seen by everyone. This matter will definitely reach the ears of Realm Monarch Bo Luo and with the anger and humiliation he suffered his time, Realm Monarch Bo Luo will definitely punish you! Let’s run, quickly!”
Heavenly King Fu too, had a pale face as he regretted deeply. He regretted offending Zhong Yue and regretted even more when he tried to gain the favor of Zhong Yue after offending him by pleasing him without any borderlines. Now, he had himself to blame for what happened.
“Run? To where!?”
His lips trembled and as he shouted, his saliva flew out, “Do you think you can escape from the palm of Realm Monarch Bo Luo!? Besides, he wouldn’t kill me for what happened but my future will no longer be as bright as before. Be prepared to suffer with me in the future…. Shit! This human is a harbinger of misfortune!”
Not long later, the Realm Monarchs and Qi Practitioners from the other Six Paths Worlds returned and under the orders of Realm Monarch Bo Luo, Heavenly King Fu was stripped of his territory and banished into the Elemental Realm with a new title of the Heavenly King Plague to take control of all plagues.
Without a word and hesitation, Heavenly King Fu and his family immediately went to the Elemental Realm.
Meanwhile, in the golden palace, Realm Monarch Bo Luo kept a serious expression as he wrote a letter which was handed over to Heavenly King Shou and he said, “Take this letter and the top ten Qi Practitioner of our world to Zi Wei Imperial Star and hand this letter to the Imperial Emperor. Remember, this letter is very important, it’s about the competition of the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, the rankings of each world and the Qi Practitioners. After reading this, the Imperial Emperor will reset the rankings and summon these Qi Practitioners to Zi Wei Galaxy to cultivate them. You must not lose this letter.”
Heavenly King Shou kept the letter securely away and he said, “My lord, that human shamed you in front of everyone. Do you want me to pursue him? Heavenly King Shang might be a strong one but he is still weaker than me. Realm Monarch Yunshan on the other hand, might be a Creator but he knows what to be done and what not. He will not interfere if he knew that this was your wish to avoid offending you, my lord.”
“There is no need for that.” said Realm Monarch Bo Luo, “Though this was out of my expectation and something unpleasant, I wouldn’t fall into such a lowly level to send an army after him. Just take this letter and depart as soon as possible. The journey is a long one and it will take a few years for you to get there.”
“Such forebearance, my lord,” praised Heavenly King Shou as he left with the order of Realm Monarch Bo Luo.
After he left, Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s eyes twitched and he murmured, “Hmph! Do you think I will let it go that easily after shaming me! If I swallow this grievance, I will become someone incapable instead! I’ve written this incident into the letter and even with the generosity of the Imperial Emperor and his fondness to the young talents, he still places the human affairs in top priority! If he knows that a human Qi Practitioner is that outstanding, he will definitely kill him!”
Humans had a very low position in all Six Paths Worlds but the Realm Monarchs did not pay much attention to them and they allowed humans to cultivate. Things were much harsher than the Six Paths Worlds in Zi Wei Imperial Star, however.
They have always been wary of the humans because of a secret tracing back into the ancient era, a secret that Realm Monarch Bo Luo happened to be privy to.
Thus, he knew that if the Imperial Emperor was informed of Zhong Yue, he would definitely destroy Zhong Yue with no mercy!
The Imperial Emperor definitely wanted each and every talented human killed before they could grow strong enough!
But why is that human so strong all of a sudden?
Realm Monarch Bo Luo thought, Throughout the time, what art and technique did he cultivate to give him such a great boost? Could it be….
Disbelief crawled up onto Realm Monarch Bo Luo and he shouted, “Could it be that he had cultivated [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art]? How is that possible?”
In order to successfully have [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] cultivated, one must be an innate being. How did a human, whose race only gave birth to non-innate being, manage to cultivate [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art]!
Realm Monarch Bo Luo then recalled the scene where when Zhong Yue clashed with Prince Bo Di, his cultivation level and presence shrunk in an instant and he murmured, “That is a sign that he converted his energy into Innate Qi and defeated my son with Innate Qi! Seems like he has cultivated [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] successfully! There are definitely some secrets he is hiding, great secrets with terrifying value!”
When Zhong Yue fought with Prince Bo Di, Realm Monarch Bo Luo saw through everything, which included how his energy flowed within his body, thus, Realm Monarch Bo Luo knew his weakness.
Zhong Yue’s weakness was that he was slow in the energy flow. This was something that Prince Bo Di failed to see, thus, leading to his defeat.
But after Bo Di entered Zi Wei Galaxy and is imparted the teachings and cultivation of the Imperial Emperor, he will improve at a terrifying speed. Once he returns, he will rise as the king of all gods and he will be out of the human’s league. However, I have to get my hands on how this puny human cultivated [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art].
Realm Monarch Bo Luo thought for a while and he murmured again, “All I can do now is just wait for the news from the Imperial Emperor. After the Imperial Emperor sends his people to kill Zhong Yue, I will have to rush there to search through his soul for the way of cultivating [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art].”
Meanwhile, far away from Bo Luo Six Paths World, the fleet of the Wei Shen Six Paths World was wrapped in the teleportation stream as they were returning to Wei Shen Six Paths World, Zhong Yue let out a long breath as he finally recovered his energy after a few days of cultivation.
Three moves, all it took was three moves to deplete my Innate Qi when using [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art].
He was a little conflicted; thought the Innate Qi was unreasonably strong, the restriction was far too great as he would completely drain his Innate Qi after three moves.
Besides, the slow energy flow of his energy was a deadly flaw that could’ve resulted in a very different ending to their battle if Prince Bo Di had been aware of it.
This was all because in the split second of life and death of a battle, Prince Bo Di would definitely hit him first, injuring him greatly as his energy flow was slow. However, after launching his Innate Qi, Zhong Yue would inflict heavy injuries to Prince Bo Di as well and by then, the outcome would depend on their luck.
If Prince Bo Di managed to withstand three strikes from him, then he would have survived, and if Zhong Yue succeeded in killing Prince Bo Di` in three moves, then Zhong Yue would be the victor.
Heavenly King Shang stood at the bow of the ship and looked around nervously while his eight generals scanned the surroundings. Though they were traveling at high speed within the teleportation beam where barely any gods could catch up with them, they still made sure to maintain their vigilance.
“Do you think it’s that funny to offend Realm Monarch Bo Luo?” murmured Heavenly King Shang
For the next few days, Heavenly King Shang raised his guards up tightly and while he tried his best to avoid any problems and prayed, “I hope nothing will happen….”
Suddenly, the ship trembled softly and it’s speed rapidly decreased, which shivered Heavenly King Shang and he quickly shouted, “Who is that? Please show yourself!”
However, the speed of the fleet decreased gradually and even when the teleportation cosmic beam was still there, their speed was already as slow as a turtle and they traveled extremely slowly towards the front.
The surroundings were dead silent. Heavenly King Shang looked around and to his horror, he discovered the teleportation cosmic wave had brought them right into an area covered in thick mist where nothing could be seen except for the mist.
Heavenly King Shang was shocked and when he turned around, the other ships in the fleet had also sailed into the mist until they were no longer visible.
What is wrong with this mist, even I can’t see anything!
He was horrified and he shouted with a trembling voice, “Dear brother or sister, please stop fooling around and show yourself!”
There was no response, however. Instead of dispersing, the mist thickened to a point where even the eight generals beside Heavenly King Shang couldn’t sense their surroudings anymore. Upon seeing this, Heavenly King Shang surrounded himself and his officers with his Six Paths Reincarnation and asked tremblingly, “What did you see, Tian Yan!”
Along with his frightened king, the officer replied in fear, “Nothing, my lord….”
Suddenly, a vigorous trembling came from the bow as something landed on it and after a rolling noise, they felt something roll past them and toward the cabin.
Heavenly King Shang’s hands became clammy with sweat, and as much as he wanted to take action, he was paralyzed by the fear of losing his life if he moved even finger.
After a moment, the unknown existence returned and the noises sounded from the cabin before it passed by them again and vanished.
The mist then slowly cleared and everything returned to normal while the fleet’s speed increased again.
Heavenly King Shang let out a relieved breath and he quickly ordered fearing that something would happen again, “Check the ships! Quick! Tian Yan, Tian Ting, check the cabin and have Lord Yue, Princess Shi and the others out!”
The ships then got busy and the eight generals returned one after another with their report, “Everything is fine, no one’s harmed.”
“My lord, this is bad!”
However all of a sudden, Tian Yan and Tian Ting came rushing out with pale faces as they charged out from the cabin, “The cabins have been breached and Lord Yue is missing!”
