Chapter 547 - Earthly Sovereign (1/2)

However, he has experienced it on his own, cultivating the soul into True Spirit doesn't work. Even with the help of Long Yue, Bo Xun, over dozens of divine herbs, Nine Revolving Inner Core, the reflection of the scale mirror and his divine eyes, he still failed. For the first time, Zhong Yue started doubting on the cultivation path he has walked on.

If it was truly impossible to cultivate the soul into True Spirit, wouldn't he be stuck in the Heavenly Dharma level for the rest of his life?

If this was really unachievable, could he really let go of his thoughts and turn back to cultivate the conventional way like everyone else?

If there was already a wide thruway proven to be right and absolutely feasible, why would he torture himself and keep trudging over a precipice devoid of livings?

Zhong Yue's frame of mind was shook, his thoughts were clouded and his inner self was torn. A voice told him to persist on the path he has chosen while the other was persuading him to give up and turn back to the rightful and genuine road.

All of a sudden, essences gushed out from his mortal body, even Long Yue and Bo Xun were undergoing the same phenomenon as well.

"What is going on?", Husan Weng and the others were shocked.

While Cusia answered them in a quivering tone, "His thoughts are clouded, his frame of mind is affected by his own thoughts. He is doubting himself and as a result, his cultivation base is shook and his essences are dissipating away from him!"

"Will he die?", Black Nightshade asked anxiously.

This time, Cusia answered in assuring confidence, "Most probably not, there are so many divine herbs here, even if he is really dying, we will be able to save him as well! His cultivation base was built on his indomitable confidence, but when such confidence is shaken, when his frame of mind is affected, his cultivation base will turn unstable as well."

The frame of mind of a cultivator was like the cornerstone and the cultivation base was the high-rise buildings built above it. While if the cornerstone was moved, the cultivation base would shudder as well. That's why certain some cultivators that have doubted themselves and lost of total confidence could lose all the cultivation base they have worked on in their whole lives.

Exactly what was happening on Zhong Yue now. He doubted his choice to cultivate the soul into the True Spirit, and as a result, his cultivation base was waning now. But as he was busy hesitating to make a choice between in his mind, he did not realize that he was already on the edge of the precipice. One wrong step, and he could fall into the endless abyss of no return!

When the cornerstone was destroyed, whatever building it was built on, grand or shabby, high-rise or flat house, everything would be torn to the ground!

"Brat Yue, it's not that hard to solve this problem. Follow me, I will bring you to the imperial tomb.", Xin Huo's voice suddenly brought Zhong Yue's mind back to sanity.

Zhong Yue startled, he asked, "To the imperial tomb? What imperial tomb? Huh? Why did my cultivation base decreased by five percent?"

Only now that he has noticed the loss on his cultivation base, he was in utter shock. Immediately, he has calmed himself down and stopped overthinking too much so as to not lose too much cultivation base.

"To the Fuxi's imperial tomb, of course.", Xin Huo said while smiling, "The imperial tomb I will bring you to belongs to the fifth Fuxi Earthly Sovereign, Haoyi! You don't have the Fuxi spirit in you, but if fate has decided so, he might be able to grant you one and allows you to breakthrough!"

Zhong Yue hesitated for a second, then he nodded quietly.

All of a sudden, he was dawned and he asked, "Can we really go to the fifth Earthly Sovereign's imperial tomb?"

The little flame was in great proudness, "Hahaha, of course! Who am I? Although I may look small in size, my reputation and name is bigger than you can imagine! If I said I want to enter Haoyi's imperial tomb, no one will dare to stop me! That little brat that guards over the imperial tomb will surely open the doors wide and happily welcome their great Xin Huo!"

Zhong Yue, however, greatly doubted the little flame's statements. From the Shao Hao Bell, one could clearly infer that most of the imperial tombs weren't too happy to see Xin Huo. This couldn't help but to made him wonder, Can Xin Huo really bring him into the fifth Earthly Sovereign, Haoyi's imperial tomb?

"Brat Yue, I need your mortal body to pick up where the guardian of that imperial tomb, Haoyi Zither is at!", Xin Huo seemed oblivious of the hate from the imperial tombs as he said happily, "I am real close to that little girl. Don't worry, she will surely let us in!"

Zhong Yue let go of his thoughts, he went into a vacant state while Xin Huo seized the chance and took control over his mortal body.

At that instant Xin Huo entered Zhong Yue's mortal body, the aura around him changed. Before this, Zhong Yue gave a warm feeling, like a sword sheathed away. But now, he was filled with a sharp and powerful aura, like an overbearing dictator, like a wild scholar who gave no concerns over the others' opinions.

It was as if Xin Huo didn't even wanted to stay a low profile at all. In fact, if he could, he might even tattooed a sentence that says, "I am strong and powerful, all of you are rubbishes!" on his face.

The little flame took over Zhong Yue's mortal body and billowed out his psyche, he focused his senses in the surrounding and soon, he had a glimpse of a familiar frequency that fleeted inside of the Ancestral Star.

Immediately, he has controlled Zhong Yue's mortal body and chanted softly. Suddenly, an undefeatable surge of power has burst through the dimensions and opened a space rift in front of them.

Zhong Yue's mortal body walked into the space rift and laughed as Xin Huo said through Zhong Yue's mouth, "Little Sister Zither, I am here to visit you!"

The zither voice that opened the space rift repleted the surrounding, it was just sounds but it gave a feeling of anger and unwillingness. Then, a little girl's voice said, "The Fuxi Clan member can enter, but you little flame have to get out!"

Xin Huo strode through the dimensional space tunnel and suddenly, he let go of the control over Zhong Yue's mortal body and leaped out. He asked while smiling, "Little flame? Who made you angry again?"

Zhong Yue has regained control over his mortal body, he glanced around and found them inside of a grand palace. Golden pillars have supported the pillars and the whole place was also mostly golden in color. Other than that, there were purplish rays that filled the palace hall, adding a mysterious air to the surroundings.

He raised his head up and saw no roof, instead, it was a starry sky with a huge blue sun shrouded in the clouds and a bright moon opposite of the sun.

Half of the sky was day and the other was night. It seemed like as if there was a galaxy that has been used to decorate the palace.

But Zhong Yue wasn't sure if it was truly a galaxy or just some pretty decorations.

While on the golden pillars, they were sculpted with golden dragons coiling around them and were suffused with godly auras. While at the corner of his eyes, he vaguely saw the dragon on one of the pillars moved around, but when he looked over again, nothing seemed to have changed at all.
