Chapter 452 - Sinister Motives (1/2)

Qi Lianfeng gave a cold sneer, and he strode toward Zhong Yue while saying frigidly, "Why do you need to wait? I will just kill you now."

Zhong Yue laughed, he moved like a bird in the sky across the swamp, and it wasn't long before he lost Qi Lianfeng. After all, Zhong Yue had the divine third eye, and he could clearly perceive the dangers around him.

On the other hand, Qi Lianfeng needed to look at the map and probe the geographical changes for any danger before he made a move. Surely, his speed would be much slower than Zhong Yue's.

This True Spirit expert is a little stronger than the Kun Peng brothers, but not by much either.

Zhong Yue was moving quickly as he thought,  Peng Jinyi has a lot of arcane energy, but his skills are weaker than Qi Lianfeng's. Even if I can utilize the force of heaven and earth, I can still match with the True Spirit magnates. I need to cultivate both the Inner Core and Heavenly Dharma levels to the extremity before I can compete with them.

Kun Lun had truly opened his eyes, he had learned much from the young gods and had a clear look on his weaknesses; this was a great experience that could greatly assist him in his cultivation.

Now, he had a clear view on his cultivation path; he now knew what he needed to strive for to advance rather than just blindly cultivate for the sake of it.

However, even if he were to cultivate both levels to the extremity, it was still incredibly hard to win against True Spirit magnates, let alone kill them.

The damage on the Golden Peng Sword is really severe.

Zhong Yue swung Qi Lianfeng away, and as he inspected the golden sword, he couldn't help but frown. As the golden sword gnawed on the godly corpse, a huge part of the totem patterns on it were destroyed, causing its prowess to be heavily impaired. It wasn't hard then for Zhong Yue to deduce the prowess of the godly corpse to be even stronger than the Kun Peng grand ancestor, Lord Kun.

Even after its death, the god's corpse was still harder than the Golden Peng Sword.

The golden sword was heavily damaged, and without this sword, Zhong Yue's overall strength was at least 30 percent weaker than before.

Thankfully, the Divine Wing Saber is still here, I wonder if this half of the Divine Wing Saber can still restore the golden sword.

Zhong Yue took out the copper lamp and sent the Golden Peng Sword into it to unite it with the Divine Swing Saber. Right at the moment that the golden sword returned to the divine weapon, the totem patterns then started to recover, and the broken parts began to reform.

Although the Heaven River Swamp was vast, there was still an end to it.

After four days, Zhong Yue finally made it out of the Heaven River Swamp. He released the carrot so it could lead the way. Husan Weng looked at the surroundings and its body shuddered, it said, "We are now at the Heaven Garden. This is like the backyard of the imperial court, not far from the Immortality Peaches Tree. However, there is one thing we need to be careful of. There is a huge palm mark in the middle of the Heaven Garden, and it is definitely a forbidden place. But that is where the Immortality Peaches Tree is."

A huge palm mark?

A cold chill traveled down Zhong Yue's spine as he thought about the image he saw when he opened the Bloodline Wheel. The murder of the Six Paths Giant, the destruction of the Six Paths Reincarnation, the deaths of countless gods, and that evil existence's strike on the imperial court.

Could that strike from the evil existence be right in the Heaven Garden? If that is so, then wouldn't it make the garden the epicenter of the curse?

Zhong Yue's heart stiffened up. Whoever that evil existence was, the destruction of the first Six Paths World was undoubtedly aimed against the Fuxi Celestial Race. It had cursed the Fuxi's blood, and with Zhong Yue now having almost 20 percent of his Fuxi blood recovered; perhaps there was a chance he would trigger the curse.

That evil existence has sacrificed the lives of a whole galaxy to lay down a curse on the Fuxi Celestial Race, and the source of the curse comes from the palm mark.

Zhong Yue frowned, that mark lied in the Heaven garden, and it would most probably be the source of all changes that occurred in the Returning Ruins.

Would he, someone that could be considered as half a Fuxi, trigger the curse?

That curse is a bloodline curse, that condemned the Fuxi Celestial race to be sealed for eternity. That being said, it shouldn't threaten my life, right? But it did destroy the Six Paths Reincarnation, I can't let my guard down…

Zhong Yue recollected his thoughts, and he walked into the Heaven Garden with Husan Weng leading the way. The huge carrot then put up a very reluctant smile and said, "We have to be careful here, there are more divine herbs than you can count here. These divine herbs breathe and absorb the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth every single second. Thus, they are much stronger than those divine herbs out there. Moreover, they are more than happy to sample some more exotic food… if you know what I mean."

It then stopped for a split second before it continued, "Also, I've heard that there are some real strong dudes still living here, they are… I don't really know, half alive and half dead? But whatever they are, they are also eyeing on the divine herbs…"

Suddenly, there were over twenty Qi Practitioners walking out from the hill in front of them. They were all experts among experts; there were even two True Spirit magnates within their ranks.

Chi Xue.

Zhong Yue was surprised to see the figure of a familiar lady in his sights. Beside Chi Xue, there was also a young lady that he knew, Ying Nu.

Among the crowd of Qi Practitioners, there were a few young ladies from the Western Mother Celestial Race, and the others were experts of the Phoenix race. These Phoenix race squad consisted of experts from either gender, and they stood around the young ladies of Western Mother Celestial Race, acting as escorts that guarded them in the middle.

Other than the two races, there were also a few Qi Practitioners of various origins. They seemed to have teamed up together as they all knew the dangers they would have to face with.

Chi Xue sensed Zhong Yue, and she looked over, she furtively winked her eyes and conducted her voice to him through the psyche, "Save me!"

Save you?  Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat.

Then, a True Spirit magnate of the Phoenix race sensed him as well. He turned to Zhong Yue and said warmly, "Little Friend Zhong, the Heaven Garden is extremely dangerous, there exists a risk of dying if we are to fight on our own. However, together in a team, we will be able to reduce such risk and survive through the dangers. What do you think?"

Well with the confidence you said that with, how can I say no?, Zhong Yue thought in his heart in disdain while maintaining a warm smile. He walked forward and clasped his hands together, "How shall I address this brother?"
