Chapter 365 - Xing Tian (1/2)

Tian Mo Concubine and the ladies were stunned, Tian Mo Concubine's eyes lit up, and she asked carefully, "Do you think you can beat Demon Saint?"

Zhong Yue shook his head and answered, "No, Demon Saint has a better foundation from his last life. But I will have to accept this challenge anyhow unless I choose to die here in the Fiend Capital today."

Saint Concubine suddenly said, "Defeated by Demon Saint, you will die; defeat Demon Saint, you will also die. Both are paths that result in your death, so why accept the battle?"

She was right. If Zhong Yue were defeated, then he would obviously be killed, but even if he won, he would also die as he would have to go all out in against Demon Saint and doing so would expose his identity. That would eventually lead the eight saint clans to kill him!

Zhong Yue gazed at her and praised her intelligent in his heart, he then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will not die. Go do as I say."

The ladies then summoned their clansmen, and they ordered them to spread the words while they continued accompanying Zhong Yue like his shadows. In their hearts, these ten days would be his last.

All of a sudden, Xin Huo said, "Brat Yue, I'll teach you a few techniques, they are better than Demon Saint's [Heavenly Saint Godly Radiating Art] …."

However, Zhong Yue shook his head and declined, "I've just attained the [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] , I can't even refine it to the peak and learning anymore will do me no good in this situation. Moreover, my focus will be distracted, and the completion of [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] will be delayed further."

Xin Huo kept mum, Zhong Yue was right. The [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] was created by Zhong Yue to balance the celestial and demon cultivation base and also the Yin Yang Qi. Such a cultivation technique was already of a reasonably high grade and teaching him more techniques would only cause more distractions.

Furthermore, cultivating a new technique in just ten days to the level where it was viable to use against Demon Saint was merely impossible. Not only would it be a meaningless waste of him, but he would also become unfocused.

Tian Mo Concubine cast out her boat and ladies surrounded Zhong Yue, boarded the boat, and headed toward the Fiend Capital. In the boat, Tian Mo Concubine was staring intensely at Zhong Yue, and suddenly, she sighed and said tenderly, "Time is emotionless and what withered flowers would never bloom anymore. Mister, I … somehow miss you a lot."

Zhong Yue laughed and answered, "You and I, we will one day meet again, there is no need to be like this."

Ji Xiang Concubine then said, "Mister, you have yet to finish enjoying the Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons, I shall perform it once again, this time, fully from the start till the end."

"Good!" Zhong Yue clapped his hands and cheered.

Ji Xiang Concubine and the ten-some court ladies danced before him while Tian Mo Concubine and Saint Concubine played the music. The boat was filled with the laughter of the young demon ladies and the cheering of the young demon.

While outside of the boat, following behind them were the demonic clouds, the demon experts were eyeing the ship closely from a far distance, a preemptive action in case Zhong Yue tried to escape.

The boat moved slowly, and the Dance of the Sixteen Heavenly Demons was finished. Zhong Yue calmed himself and plunged into the cultivation state to refine his [Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art] while the ladies went up to the deck to avoid disturbing him.

Another two or three days passed, and they were still halfway to their destination. The ladies had many thoughts in their hearts. The clouds were white, and the birds flew leisurely across the sky, and when the boat flew over the top of a mountain ridge, a grand palace came into view. It was built on the edge of a precipice, and suddenly, a bright white light flashed across their eyes before disappearing into the grand palace. Saint Concubine was shocked, and she quickly used her Asura Divine Eye to look into it. She then exclaimed in shock, "Demon Embryo! The Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo has entered that palace!"

The ladies were all stunned, they then quickly looked down at the grand palace that was surrounded by a thick and heavy demonic Qi. From the looks of it, this would be the residence of an incredible existence.

Zhong Yue was awoken from his cultivation, and he walked out to the deck. Looking down, he saw that the demon palace was built atop the highest spot of the mountain. All of a sudden, a young child donning in short sleeve walked out like a waiter. He seemed cute and chubby, and unintelligible babble escaped his mouth as he bowed at them.

This little boy was precisely the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo that had escaped!

He didn't know how to speak yet, and the babblings were the only things he could utter. His little arms and tiny hands were also incessantly pointing at the boat then the palace.

Zhong Yue looked at him from afar and saw the metal chains that were attached to his neck as if someone had captured him, Zhong Yue then said in puzzlement, "This Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo, it seems like he is trying to say something … His master invites me into the palace as a guest?"

"Master?"

The ladies were shocked, Tian Mo Concubine exclaimed in unbelief, "Who dares to be his master?"

The Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo was brought up by Demon Saint, and although it was still immature, the Triad Ritual have infused incredibly strong energy in it. Once the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo had fully digested the energy within him and learned to unleash his power, he would be nearly on par with a newly-ascended god!

Not only that, but this Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo was granted into life by Bo Xun's scattered spirit. Just how strong was Bo Xun's scattered spirit and once he had finished absorbing Bo Xun's scattered spirit and acquired Bo Xun's cultivation technique, his prowess would skyrocket at incredible speeds!

Yet, such a Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo now had a master? How unbelievable!

Such an invitation wouldn't have much malicious intent. Even if there is some, someone that can be the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo's master will be able to kill me on the spot here anyway.

Just as Zhong Yue thought about it, he walked down from the boat and turned back to look at the girls; he said, "Stay here and wait for my return, I'll come back in just a few moments."

The ladies watched as he walked into the demon palace and their hearts thumped with unease.

Zhong Yue reached the front of the demon palace, and the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo was still one foot in height and shifted his sights away from Zhong Yue as he was still clearly fearful of him. There were metal chains shackling his feet, creating sounds of metal clanking as he walked into the demon palace while babbling to Zhong Yue, " Yiya, yiya, yiyay…."

Zhong Yue followed him into the demon palace and smiled, "May I know who resides in the palace? Being able to capture the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo and even tame is really impressive."

Then, a familiar voice answered his question leisurely, "How hard can it be? Capturing the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo wouldn't be any harder than you breaking the Triad Ritual and causing the Creator to petrify, leaving him with no choice but to infuse the rest of himself into the Heavenly Saint Demon Embryo as a final hope for resurrection. Such guile leaves even me in awe. Don't you think so too, Junior Martial Brother Zhong?"
