Chapter 69 - Long Yue of the East Ocean (1/2)

"Brat Yue, he is a monster Qi Practitioner!"

In his psyche ocean, as Xin Huo watched Zhong Yue ask where the cave dwelling of the 'Master Sun' was and walked out of the human tribe, he stiffened up his face and said, "You are still unclear of his prowess, there are drastic disparities in prowess between two Qi Practitioners! You have yet to manifest your own spirit and hence, you can't be considered as a Qi Practitioner, even if you have defeated the three Shui Tu Clan Qi Practitioners, you could have only done so because of your Fang Blade, it's not your true prowess! He may have unknown abilities that could stop you from using the Fang Blade! To know your own strength and that of the enemy is the sure way to victory…."

Zhong Yue's heart was agitated with anger and yet his facial expressions were calm and tranquil, "Xin Huo, don't you worry, I'm not a reckless man, I know very well of my own capabilities. Compared to others, my prowess has increased greatly in such a short while, such that even my skills can't catch up to it. I've only mastered a few techniques, I'm lacking the appropriate skills to unleash my prowess and my foundation is not strong and robust enough. Although my explosive strength is incredible, the flaws are also blatantly obvious."

Xin Huo heaved a breath of relief and he said, "It's good that you know. There are great flaws in your prowess, but they can still be rectified, the only thing you need most as of now is time. Moreover, it'd be useless to kill Master Sun; this land belongs to the monsters, even if you kill him, the other monsters will never allow you to take a spot and conquer this piece of land!"

Zhong Yue nodded in agreement, he said, "Thence, the urgent matter right now is to search for the teleportation portal, ascend to the moon and manifest a moon spirit, I should not act recklessly."

Xin Huo praised, "This is how a rational Fuxi Celestial race, the successor of Xin Huo should act! After the moon spirit, you'll then harvest a sun spirit, with the two spirits together, your cultivation speed will increase greatly. At that point in time, you will have the strength and prowess to compete with the monster Qi Practitioners. This Master Sun has entertained passing monster Qi Practitioners with humans as food, this would have allowed him to acquire a wide circle of acquaintances and friends! If you defeat him, his friends will definitely avenge him, not to mention that you are a human, they will definitely come for you! In addition, they might even implicate and slaughter all these humans to accompany the dead Master Sun!"

Zhong Yue nodded and said, "If I kill him, it's like stirring up a hornets' nest."

"It's good that you understand, you will not act recklessly right?"

Xin Huo suddenly felt a surge of uneasiness, he asked vigilantly, "You are walking towards his cave dwelling, what are you trying to do?"

Zhong Yue strode forward, his steps were solid and firm and his face was tranquil and calm, not a single sign of emotion could be detected, in an indifferent tone he responded, "I'm going to … kill him."

"The words I've just said, you agreed with them, so why are you still taking the risk?"

"Hatred is like fire, the longer you leave it burning, the weaker it gets, and eventually one day in the future, it will be reduced to an anemic smolder that only leaves you numb. Xin Huo, look at them, look at these humans clambering to offer up their tribesmen as food, do you want me to be like them? They often say that ten years is not too late for a nobleman's revenge. Suppressing the hatred, patting yourself on the back, thinking that you are shrewd and astute for seeking vengeance at a more opportune. But in actuality, you are just looking for an excuse to allow your hatred to slowly fade away."

Zhong Yue was never this calm before, he strode forward while his psyche, soul, and body all ventured into a state of perfect coordination; when his body breathed, his psyche and psyche ocean moved and shifted in tandem.

His soul was also breathing along, inhaling and exhaling the psyche.

"I am not sure if in the future, when I become a Qi Practitioner and have mastered various arts and skills ... will I still have the bravery to face that Master Sun again? Even if I dared to face squarely with him, will I have the courage to face with the countless Qi Practitioners? Will I have the nerve to face with the monster magnates? And those people that died waiting for me to become a Qi Practitioner, those that died while I was picking up the scraps of my courage, will I be able to face them with pride?

"I will kill him ... so that I will not falter again!"

When he walked forward with firm steps, a surge of aura surrounded him, causing him to enter the realm of unconscious visualization, he said insouciantly, "After I kill him, I will claim his territory. Don't you worry, I am not audacious or dimwitted, I am certain I will kill him, I am confident I can claim his territory as mine."

He said calmly, "I will turn myself into a monster Qi Practitioner, without me being a human Qi Practitioner. What excuse can they use to exterminate me? As for his friends, they aren't closely acquainted, merely tied together by the fragile tether of benefits. I would like to see who dares to make a move after I've killed Master Sun!"

"You will be a monster Qi Practitioner?"

Xin Huo was startled, he exclaimed in shock, "How can you … Oh, that's right, your appearance gives you the look of a dragon Qi Practitioner, the blood of the Xiang Dragon flows in your body, it is true that they will not suspect your identity. Hei-hei, this is getting interesting, establishing a human territory amidst a land of monsters, what a fun and crazy game this is, just like dancing on the tip of a blade, I like this…."

What he was thinking and what was in Zhong Yue's mind were two different matters, Zhong Yue wanted to establish a safe and peaceful haven for humanity in this land of monsters while all Xin Huo cared for was only how much fun he could enjoy from such a harrowing adventure.

Wait for me to come back, my dear human brethren.

Zhong Yue strode forward, saying to himself, I will slay that Master Sun and carve out our own paradise amidst this land of monsters!

In the mountains far away from where he was, there stood a gray-green monastery, monstrous clouds suffused above it, it was the 'Master Sun''s cave dwelling.

The smell of monstrous clouds was foul and fishy, but the sense of smell was different between the humans and monsters. The filthy and stinking smell to the humans appeared to be fragrant aroma to the monsters; the colorful and vivid monstrous clouds too, would look malevolent and wicked in the eyes of humans.

"Brother Sun Xiao, we are here to visit you again!"

In the monastery, four monster Qi Practitioners greeted each other and then sat down on the floor, in front of each of them were small tea tables. Sun Xiao, the one who seemed to be their head smiled and said, "Senior martial brothers, how are you all so free to have time to come and visit?"
