Chapter 455 - Evil Hand (1/2)

Zhong Yue had then finally struggled to pull his arm out of Chi Xue's. He released the huge carrot Husan Weng, and the four of them continued on their journey.

"This Six Paths Fruit, should we eat it or not?" Zhong Yue took out the Six Paths Fruit and thought.

Chi Xue took it out as well, and the two Six Paths Fruits seemed to resonate with one another.

The two of them had both opened the sixth secret realm. But in comparison, Zhong Yue had gone through a more arduous process as he had to crush the bloodline seal and face against the evil existence from 100,000 years ago.

On the other hand, Chi Xue was not from the Fuxi Celestial Race, and so she didn't need to go through all of that. But even so, her process was not that easy either.

After all, the opening of the sixth secret realm was not a trivial task. Even if the other races didn't have the bloodline seal, those who could open the sixth secret realm were still only one in a trillion!

This was because the Six Paths Reincarnation was broken. The evil existence had cursed the life in this Six Paths World and formed the bloodline seals in the Fuxi Celestial Race.

The Six Paths Reincarnation could be said to be the blueprint to the Qi Practitioners' six secret realms. With the Six Paths Reincarnation now broken, all of those living beings in the Six Paths World had to face one problem — the disappearance of the sixth secret realm, and thus, they were barred from cultivating it.

Only those incredibly talented prodigies were able to forge a slight resemblance of the complete Six Paths Reincarnation circuit in their body.

Only a handful of the whole Six Paths World was able to do something like that.

At the very least, Zhong Yue was only aware of three Qi Practitioners who had achieved it: Feng Xiaozhong, Chi Xue, and himself.

Among those three, Feng Xiaozhong was the strongest. The madman's principle was to recreate the complete majesty of the Six Paths Reincarnation within his own body. His ideology was that if one was their own Six Paths Reincarnation, one would be able to reincarnate for eternity. And theoretically, as long as the Yuan Shen wasn't destroyed, one would effectively become immortal.

"This Six Paths Fruit... it contains the mysteries of the Six Paths Reincarnation." Chi Xue submerged her thoughts into the chants, and she could discern the abstrusities flowing in it. Her heart stiffened up, and she quickly said, "It feels like it has certain connections to the Six Paths Reincarnation inside our body!"

Zhong Yue then asked, "Does your Western Mother Empire have any records about this Six Paths Fruit?"

"None that I know of."

Chi Xue shook her head, and she answered, "There wasn't any Qi Practitioner that managed to obtain one before. Even if they did, there was simply no use of it for them. Without opening all six secret realms, one wouldn't be able to gain much from its medicinal efficacies. It contains profound insights into the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and thus, I think we should hold off on eating it for now."

Zhong Yue nodded, if they consumed the divine fruit now without being fully prepared, they wouldn't be able to fully enlighten themselves on the mysteries that were encapsulated in the Six Paths Fruit. If they couldn't fully absorb the medicinal efficacies of the Six Paths Fruit, it would be a huge waste.

Thus, they needed to prepare themselves and find a place that was free of dangers, And with the help of many divine herbs which could strengthen their thoughts, psyche, and mortal body, they would then be able to eat it.

After all, this was a divine fruit from the king of divine herbs!

By then, I'll have to take some parts off of the huge carrot and its friends!  Zhong Yue looked at the huge carrot leading the way at the front as he thought this.

Husan Weng suddenly sneezed and shouted in anger, "Who is planning a scheme on me?"

Zhong Yue laughed behind the carrot and said, "Husan Weng, you are such a hero, who dares to scheme on you?"

…

After a few moments, Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat. There was a god's corpse sitting unmovingly in the middle of a bush, staring at a divine flower in front of him.

Half of the god's corpse was rotten, and its eyes were glimmering with rays, indicating that there was still a godly spirit in it. After all, after such a long time, it should be impossible for the soul to survive.

This meant that there was no soul but a spirit residing in the god's corpse!

That godly corpse heard their footsteps as they drew nearer, and it raised its head to glance at them with a pair of emotionless eyes.

Immediately, Zhong Yue and the two girls could feel their body shuddering, their Yuan Shen froze, and their minds became vacant. Any sort of arcane energies and skill was frozen!

In their eyes, the god's corpse was gigantic with many stars and planets revolving around it and the divine flower.

The god's corpse then turned back to its usual state, staring back at the divine flower, It was then that Zhong Yue and the girls felt the pressure disperse and the specters disappear from their sights. They all heaved a breath of relief and quickly moved away from the god's corpse.

"What is it? Is this god guarding the divine herb? Trying to eat it after the divine herb has matured?"

Along the way, they saw another few gods. Their dead bodies existed in many forms, but each and every one of them was guarding at a divine herb. Their souls were gone, but their spirits remained.

The danger persisted all over the Returning Ruins, even here, they had come across a huge creature's skeletal frame. It wandered around the place and devoured every living being it encountered.

They also saw many coffins hanging in mid-air. The coffins were pitch-black, with one end connected to an ancient tree and the gravitational force pulling them vertically downward.

There was a nest of black crows living on the top of the ancient tree. As the crows saw the three outsiders, they let out a series of hoarse caws, and the dark coffins began to creak open. On one of the coffins, tendrils of hair reached out from inside and grabbed the coffin lid, trying to pull it open as black blood trickled out of it. It seemed like it was trying to come out.

Zhong Yue and the others quickly ran, they dashed away at an incredible speed and saved themselves from another dance with death.
