Chapter 537 - Nine-headed Lion (1/2)
That was a mountain laid in barren, there weren't any monsters that stayed there. The sky above was clear and bright, but not even the birds were willing to wing past that place, only a few patches of clouds.
Shi Buyi stood on the top of the mountain, he has his hands on his back and he has completely blended in with the heaven and earth around.
"My good disciple, have you really cultivated the True Spirit? I'm so overjoyed when I heard that and can't refrain myself to not see you. Thus, I have rushed over to meet you here."
Shi Buyi smiled gently, his eyes filled with enthusiasm as he said, "My good disciple, quick, cast your True Spirit and let me have a look."
Long Yue glanced around, he didn't cast the True Spirit as he told, instead, he asked, "Teacher, why are you here?"
Shi Buyi was puzzled for a second, he then laughed and said, "Why can I not be here?"
Long Yue answered placidly, "This is a barren land, there aren't any monsters in over a thousand mile radius around here. Teacher, for you to be here, I only feel something bad coming at me."
Shi Buyi smiled, "What sort of bad thing are you referring to?"
"That you will harm me, teacher.", Long Yue bowed with the Fang Blade on his back, he said, "I might be overthinking, but I just can't help it."
Shi Buyi laughed loudly, he assured, "Long Yue, you are indeed thinking too much. You are already a magnate now, I'm feeling happy and glad for you. How will I harm you?"
Long Yue nodded and said, "I might really be just overthinking. Teacher, if you want to look at my True Spirit, then please do."
His body swayed and a six-eyed celestial being rose behind him. It was ten thousand feet tall with six eyes and three foot, six bright moons emerged behind him and looked as though they were moons that fell from the sky.
Shi Buyi stared closely, he was overjoyed and praised, "It's really the True Spirit! Good disciple, now, cast your [Monster God Ming King Art]!"
Long Yue followed, his mortal body turned into the body of the combination of moon spirit and the Monster God Ming King. He has turned into a three-legged, six-eyed and eight-armed celestial being, bursting in immense power and aura.
Suddenly, the six eyes merged together and formed into a divine eye. Then, another pair of eyes appeared beside it, with the divine eye in the center shining bright in godly rays.
"Teacher, are you satisfied?", Long Yue smiled and asked.
Bright smile radiated across Shi Buyi's face, he clapped his hands and praised, "Satisfied, satisfied! You have grown strong enough, and it is time for me to reap my fruits now!"
"Teacher, you want my divine eye?", Long Yue asked abruptly.
Shock flashed past Shi Buyi's heart, a blurred expression climbed on his face and he asked, "You knew that I wanted your eyes?"
Long Yue smiled, he strode onto the mountain and said casually, "From the day I have acquired the [Monster God Ming King Art], I knew the plans you have for me already. Teacher's [Monster God Ming King Art] is flawed and you are missing of the Ming King divine eye's totem patterns, the most crucial part in the [Monster God Ming King Art]. Without it, your cultivation base will still grow as you cultivate, but the flaw in you will grow as well."
Shi Buyi was surprised, he watched as Long Yue walked closer to him while he asked, "So you knew about it already, then why are you still here to see me?"
Long Yue stood in front of Shi Buyi on the mountain, he said, "Teacher, I bet you don't know, but the battle between you and Feng Shang, I'm the one who told the old headmaster of your flaw. I'm the one that made your prowess impaired."
Shi Buyi's pupils shrunk small, he stared intently on Long Yue. Suddenly, faint figure of a nine-headed lion appeared behind him, all eighteen eyes were glaring at Long Yue.
"Only with you being gravely injured, can I have the chance to rise.", Long Yue said placidly still, "Teacher, you are still young, energy of life still repletes in your body. You have only spent tens of years to become the magnate and climbed to become the strongest in East Barren. But this flaw of divine eye has stalled you too much, if it wasn't the damage you suffered in the battle with the old headmaster, you are probably a half god already."
Shi Buyi exhaled deeply, as if he was breathing out the negative emotions from affecting his thoughts. Then, he said in a placid tone, "So it's you who told Feng Shang of my flaw, of the [Monster God Ming King Art]'s flaw. Who gave you such courage to do so?"
"I did.", a voice interrupted the conversation, Zhong Yue casually strode out from Long Yue's light wheels. He smiled warmly and greeted, "Zhong Yue greets the Monster Overlord Shi."
"Zhong Shan Clan member!", Shi Buyi's eyes turned cold as ice and his face was gloomy, he gave a cold hum and questioned, "Long Yue, you have fraternized with the humans and betrayed your own race? You traitor, you dare call yourself a monster?"
Zhong Yue still had the same smile on his face, he asked, "Teacher, why did you say that?"
"Teacher? Zhong Shan Clan member, you call me your teacher?", Shi Buyi's face changed drastically. Suddenly, heads grew out from his neck and many pairs of eyes stared back and forth between Zhong Yue and Long Yue. The nine heads said in unison, "You call me your teacher, could it be…"
"Long Yue is me, but I'm not Long Yue.", Zhong Yue raised his head up and glanced around, he said while smiling, "What a nice place, the four elders aren't with you, are they, teacher? You have really chose a good place to die."
Shi Buyi laughed out loud, his voice suddenly turned colder than ice as he said, "Zhong Shan Clan member, do you think you can kill me alone? Do you have the strength of Feng Shang? Even Feng Shang couldn't kill me, let alone you!"
"Which is why, I came as well.", another voice came from the sky. Shi Buyi looked up and saw a patch of cloud descending down from the sky. A young cultivator walked out from the clouds and appeared in his vision.
"Gu Hongzi!", Shi Buyi's face changed, he suddenly laughed and said, "You dare to show yourself again? Good, good, good!"
