Chapter 973: Insect On My Palm

The ships floated silently on the Heavenly River and Feng Wuji sweated crazily under the intensifying pressure.

His identity was very special, allowing him to be respected wherever he went. He had quite a position in Bi Luo Palace and even able to converse with monarch existences freely without flinching.

He was a very smart person, the disciple of an innate god and possessed two sovereign races’ bloodline but before this man, he had been losing to him not once, not twice, but every single time.

“Zhong Yue! You can’t kill me and I am not afraid of you!”

Feng Wuji’s eyes locked onto Zhong Yue, “My teacher had left a protective spell in my psyche ocean. Apart from that, there are also some other spells given by the other monarchs. My power is far beyond your imagination! Whatever I have in my psyche ocean is enough to protect me from grave dangers six times!”

Zhong Yue replied him with a smile and calm tone, “Even if I can, I will not. After all, you are Senior Martial Brother Feng’s son, I’ll still have to give him some respects. However, the six protective spells are nothing but a joke to me. As long as I do not trigger them, they will pose no danger. Do you think you can escape from me if I suppress you for a few ten thousand years?”

“Sealing me away for few ten thousand years?” asked Feng Wuji with a strict expression.

Zhong Yue nodded and smiled again, “Seal you away into a land until you die of old age, how about that? Or even, I don’t even need to seal you since I can just sink your ship and have you devoured by the Heavenly River. How long do you think those six protective spells will keep you alive?”

Feng Wuji’s expression changed again and he burst out laughing this time, “My teacher is an innate….”

“Just an innate god,” cut off Zhong Yue and said, “I’ve already killed one.”

Feng Wuji choked; he saw how Zhong Yue killed Zhu Xie. Though he was a True Deity who activated the Panhu bloodline in him and possessed power far beyond those in the same generation, Feng Wuji was still not strong enough to fight against someone the likes of Zhu Xie!

In terms of strength, Zhong Yue was far above Feng Wuji’s league.

At the same level, Zhong Yue was already capable of killing an innate god. If nothing else happened to him, perhaps he would even outperform Feng Wuji’s teacher, Tu Yu!

With a sore voice, Feng Wuji said, “I am my father’s only son, please spare me.”

Zhong Yue replied, “If it was not because of Senior Martial Brother Feng, do you think you will still be alive right now? He asked me not to kill you but that does not mean that I can’t do anything to you. I have another way to deal with you, which is by slamming you back to your original form, seal you away, just like….”

Zhong Yue’s expression turned horrifying in an instant, “Just like those gods in the Ancestral Star.”

Feng Wuji shivered right away.

Zhong Yue then turned around, looking at the unworldly world sealed by countless monarchs while Feng Wuji dared not to move an inch at all; he could feel that Zhong Yue’s psyche had locked onto him and if any undesirable movement was made, he would be welcomed by a decimating blow from Zhong Yue!

In Heaven Court, everyone who witnessed the battle between Zhong Yue and Zhu Xie all knew that he was so powerful that he slaughtered a same level innate god like a dog, proving himself to be the scariest and most potential god in the Board of Future Monarchs.

In that battle, Zhong Yue revealed his seventh secret realm, shocking the entire Heaven Court, monarchs and gods but only Feng Wuji knew that Zhong Yue was not fighting in his full strength!

It was a battle where Zhong Yue killed an innate god without being in his full form!

Feng Wuji also knew that Zhong Yue was the Fuxi that stole the Six Paths Tian Lun with the female Fuxi and blasted Bi Luo Palace into pieces!

If Zhong Yue was fighting in the Fuxi True Form, he would be even stronger than what everyone saw!

In Heaven Court, he was unable to enter his full form but at this place, on the Heavenly River where no one was watching, Feng Wuji dared to bet his life that Zhong Yue would not have the same reservation of going all out!

Feng Wuji almost felt crushed by the pressure and this pressure that Zhong Yue imposed on him.

After a moment, Zhong Yue shifted his vision away.

“Zhong Yue, if you don’t kill me or let me go, what are you planning to do? Stay here forever with me?”

Feng Wuji continued, “You can’t possibly stay here forever, can you?”

Zhong Yue shook and replied, “In my eyes, you are nothing but just an insect in my palm. Your actions, your plans and everything about you is a joke. To me, I can see through everything about you easily, whoever relies on you heavily will always stumble before my presence. You are like the most perfect assistant, the nightmare of my enemy, the more they rely on you, the quicker they die! How could I possibly kill such a big helper of mine?”

Hearing his insulting words, Feng Wuji was greatly enraged but he showed nothing on the outside and he laughed, “Then why are you not letting me go? Let me go help you destroy your enemy.”

Zhong Yue waved his sleeves and replied calmly, “Hand over the command scroll and you may go.”

Feng Wuji’s expression froze, his eyes twitched and he shouted in disbelief, “You planning to go there? You have a death wish or what? They may be Fuxi Celestial Race but you should know who they really are!”

“And that, is none of your concern.”

Feng Wuji failed to detect any emotions in Zhong Yue, who demanded again, “The command scroll.”

Feng Wuji bit his lips, took out the command scroll that allows one to enter the unworldly world and hurled it to Zhong Yue. After taking it over, with a careful examination, Zhong Yue nodded after seeing there was no trickery infused into the scroll by Feng Wuji.

On the other side, Feng Wuji immediately sailed away but at the same time, a saber buzzing was heard, scaring him crazily and the tensed Feng Wuji shouted, “Are you not a man of your words!”

“Don’t worry, I’m not trying to kill you.”

Zhong Yue’s voice was heard, “I merely opened up a tiny hole at the bottom of your ship, which allows a small amount of water to enter your ship. The hole is not that big and if you have divine weapons like a scoop or something, you can still pour the water out. Then, about one year or so, you may be able to get onto the land.”

Feng Wuji immediately looked towards the ship’s bottom and just as Zhong Yue said, water started leaking into the ship through the hole, causing the tiny ship to sink at a very slow pace. At this instant, Feng Wuji could not be bothered with maneuvering the ship anymore; he quickly took out a divine weapon in the appearance of a jar that was gifted to him by the Deity Emperor of the Kua Fu Celestial Race.

Just as this divine weapon came in touch with the water, it started melting and a hole appeared on the jar before Feng Wuji could pour the water away.

“Mister Wuji, pray that you will never run into me.”

Behind him, Zhong Yue’s emotionless and cold voice was heard again, “Run into me again and you will be turned into a dog.”

Feng Wuji ignored Zhong Yue entirely and threw the jar away. This time, he took out a Creator level item, which was given to him by a Creator. However, this Creator level item did not last long before the Star Water.

Feng Wuji could hear the shattering of his heart; though his connections were huge, countless Deity Emperors and Creators were trying to be friends with him, giving him the items they created with great effort. The rate of consumption was just insane!

These items were a huge part of his wealth and if they were all wasted on the Heavenly River, it would really cost him an arm and a leg!

As the Star Water continuously leaked into the ship, Feng Wuji dug through his Yuan Shen secret realms, taking out one after another precious item senselessly, trying to remove the water leaking into the ship and corroded all the items he used.

Suddenly, Feng Wuji’s eyes lit up as he saw a damaged cauldron,* Teacher once said that this item has an outstanding origin traced all the way to the Dark Age. Perhaps, it is immune to the corrosive Star Water.*

He then started using this cauldron to pour the water away and just as he expected, this cauldron shown no sign of being corroded but it could not fit too much water into it due to its poor condition.

Time after time, this damaged cauldron was slowly being washed by the Star Water; the rust coatings on it vanished and the cauldron became shiny!

Apart from that, Feng Wuji also realized that this cauldron was absorbing the Star Water’s energy and it was repairing itself under the water’s nourishment!

Feng Wuji was shocked by this; even though the restoration was slow, it could still be detected easily and the patterns outside and within the cauldron were slowly being repaired!

As if it was reborn and given a new life, this item was gradually recovering its former look!

This damaged cauldron was found by Feng Wuji in an ancient ruin. After showing it to his teacher, his teacher told him that this was an item from the Dark Age but there was no way to repair it.

However, he did not throw it away and kept it in his Yuan Shen secret realms without expecting that it was able to repair itself!

My Luck Dao is really a great help!

Immense happiness struck Feng Wuji and he looked towards the huge ship that was slowly sailing further and further away with a grim heart, Zhong Yue! You bragged about how I am an insect on your palm and how you are able to seal me away but you know nothing about my Luck Dao! One day, you will kneel before me and die by my hands!

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue was frowning slightly on the command scroll.

This was the reason why he stopped Feng Wuji; without the command scroll, one would not be able to enter the unworldly world. Previously, he arrived there through the huge ship from the ancient time, encountered the Fuxi Celestial Race’s clan master, Feng Changyang, who was unable to enter as well.

Now, however, he was a little hesitant after obtaining this command paper.

On one side, he wanted to take a look at the unworldly world’s Fuxi, meet the enemies of his race, the traitors and also the descendants of Feng Changyang, which was the last Fuxi Celestial Race’s tribe.

However, this trip was filled with dangers!

Zhong Yue looked at the command scroll in his hands. After some time, he took out the Six Paths Bead, rubbing his hands against it and his dark expression on his face slowly cleared away.

“Senior Martial Brother Yu, seems like we have to part ways for the time being.”

Zhong Yue smiled and said to Hundun Yu, “The ship will stay here and you will wait for me here.”

The nervous Hundun Yu grabbed onto Zhong Yue’s arms and said hurriedly, “I am supposed to follow you! It’s the ancestor’s order!”

“But there are some places that you can’t enter.”

“The grand ancestor said that I must follow you wherever you go!” insisted Hundun Yu.

“Fine, Feng Wuji is always keeping a very high profile and you following me with the monarch weapon will not cause any suspicion. However, this is what you insisted so you mustn’t blame me if anything happens to you!” replied Zhong Yue with a smile after he stopped frowning.

Then, his clothes waved even though there was no wind, his face started morphing and even the bloodline in his body was altered. In a few seconds later, Zhong Yue had completely donned the appearance of Feng Wuji and there was not a single difference with the real Feng Wuji!

With a deep inhale, Zhong Yue activated the command scroll, which started burning and the flame turned into a fiery bird that flew right into the monarch seals in the unworldly world!

As the bird entered, the monarch seals shook vigorously and they revealed a path that led right into the unworldly world!
