Chapter 171 - The Beauty in the Moon (2/2)

His consciousness was drawn by the marvelous force, 'walking' through temple after temple, hiking up the mountains and passing through the grandiose celestial palaces. Along the way, he had seen countless celestials, most of them were the experts of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, he even passed through their bodies without any hindrance — it was a truly surreal experience.

The marvelous force compelled him forward, and eventually, he reached the supreme celestial temple of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. Abruptly, he took a sharp turn and rammed into a picturesque stone wall which was engraved with all kinds of seals and totem patterns, but there was not any hindrance as he phased through the wall.

Behind the stone wall was a tunnel which was also covered in seals; he continued moving towards the marvelous force, leaving the seals untouched as he moved.

Moments later, bright lights were emanated right in front, Zhong Yue 'lifted his head' and gaped at the sight he saw.

It was a vast and wide space in front of him, there was an enormously huge crystal ball hovering in mid-air, and a mountainous Pan Ao statue on the side with its dreadful heads gnawing on the crystal ball!

While in the core of the crystal ball, there were jade-like liquids flowing around a peerlessly beautiful lady like silver ribbons. The lady's eyes were closed shut, and she seemed to be in a deep slumber.

While the huge and gigantic Pan Ao heads were clearing siphoning the energy away from the crystal ball!

"Moon core and the moon spirit!"

Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat, "An innate god is burgeoning within the moon! But she has yet to reach maturity before the Xiao Mang Celestial Race's ancestor stole the moon's core and moon spirit away!"

Whether if it was the celestial race, human race, monster race, or even the dragon race, their only path to ascend to the level of gods was cultivation — they were the cultivated gods while those that were gods from birth ... were the innate gods!

There were spirits that were born from the world itself and worshipped by the living; and as the days, months, and years passed, the accumulation of the prayers of those that worshipped them would give birth to a consciousness within the spirit – this was the birth of an innate god.

And now, thoughts and consciousness were starting to burgeon within the moon spirit in the moon's core, she was on the verge of becoming an innate god. However, the Xiao Mang Celestial Race ancient ancestor had broken this process!

Not only that, but the Xiao Mang Celestial Race ancient ancestor had also captured the moon spirit and sealed her in this forsaken place, siphoning away her energy and replacing her spirit with their own godly spirit in the moon to plunder the worship of the living that was solely meant for her!

Zhong Yue found the moon spirit and the connection between them was getting stronger. All of a sudden, the air in the underground trembled violently as the heads of the Pan Ao statue moved one after another. They opened their eyes and suffused the air with an increasingly suffocating nefarious yet saintly aura.

"Who…."

One of the Pan Ao heads suddenly opened its mouth, his overwhelming psyche quivered the air and the immense pressure nearly crumbled Zhong Yue's consciousness away!

The Pan Ao eyes glared at the surroundings and slowly closed shut, falling into a deep slumber again.

Xin Huo quickly moved around in his Yuan Shen's body, searching for the position of the lunar star acupoint; just right when Zhong Yue's consciousness was on the verge of dispersing, he had finally found it and said happily, "Found it!"

Zhong Yue opened his eyes abruptly, cold sweat rushed out of his forehead and he was hit with a wave of nausea. It was only after several moments when he was able to recollect himself.

"Xin Huo, I've saw it, the moon's core and the moon spirit!"

Zhong Yue regained his composure, he showed the visions he had saw to Xin Huo; Xin Huo lost his voice for a moment, pondered deeply and then said, "Unexpectedly, there were so many treasures in the underground of the Xiao Mang celestial temple. If only we can plunder them away … Consider yourself lucky, the statue is actually the mortal body of the celestial dog's ancient ancestor. Of the dog heads, three of them were from his mortal body. Thankfully, only one of the heads opened its eyes, if all of them opened their eyes, you would have definitely been shattered into pieces!"

The fears only struck Zhong Yue after the incident, he was puzzled, "What was the ancestor of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race trying to do?"

"I think he was trying to borrow the innate god's power to preserve his body. Although his mortal body is dead, by leveraging the energy from the innate god, he could still preserve his body. After that, by having the living beings worship the moon, he can make his godly spirit immortal. He sure has some wild ambitions."

Xin Huo said, "Don't bother him, he won't be awakened so easily. Now, get ready to open the Dao Yi wheel!"

Before the voices of the words faded off, the little flames left in Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen suddenly emitted small rays of light, linking and connecting themselves into an intricate network, and all of a sudden, the light rays flew like a projectile into his Yuan Shen's mind, converging at a common point!

"There it is!"

The little lights gathered, illuminating the void within as Xin Huo yelled, "The stars move as the time passes, these celestial bodies are moving all the time, and so will the starry acupoints in the Yuan Shen, and the Pan Gu Point will shift also. Now, immediately blast off the void and open the Dao Yi Realm!"

Zhong Yue sat in a lotus position, the divine third eye on his forehead opened, layers of totem patterns began spinning, casting the energy of the lighting pool from his psyche and sending it surging towards his divine third eye!

"Quick, blast off the void in the mind!", Xin Huo shouted.
