Chapter 602 - Cries of Heaven (1/2)
Shi Buyi's heart suddenly throbbed in shock as he realized he had been acting too egregiously, and was afraid that Zhong Yue would go back on his words and seal the monster race along. Shi Buyi quickly smiled and gave a dry laugh, "I'm just joking, don't you take it too serious, it's really just a joke! Speaking of which, we are leaving after the ritual, aren't we? Has Master Zhong left a few seeds of yours behind?"
Zhong Yue was puzzled, he asked, "Why do you ask?"
Shi Buyi then laughed in reply, "To be frank, I've selected and impregnated a few lioness so that the Nine Headed Lion will not go extinct after I leave. Hehehe, I have nine heads, surely I have selected nine lioness. Did Master Zhong copulated with a few human girls?"
Zhong Yue was between laughter and tear, he cleared his throat and asked, "You really plan to leave with me?"
Shi Buyi's face changed drastically, he exclaimed, "Aren't you going to threaten me to leave with you?"
Zhong Yue was puzzled, "Big lion, since when did I say I'm going to do that?"
Various expressions flitted across Shi Buyi's face, and he probed a few moments later, "So, you are planning to kill me before you leave? Although I am your mount, that doesn't mean I won't fight back for my life!"
"What makes you think so?" Zhong Yue asked curiously.
"Isn't it obvious that you will surely kill me if I don't follow you away!? Among the humans, only you alone can suppress me; after you leave, who do you think in the human race can even stand before my aura?" Shi Buyi gave a cold hum, "That's why, you will either bring me along with you, or slain me dead to prevent future dangers! Don't try to lie to me!"
However, Zhong Yue shook his head upon hearing the conjectures, "Shi Buyi, you are overthinking. You've helped me many times, and I am not a man who mistreats those who have helped me before. If you are willing to leave with me, you are more than welcomed to follow; but if you want to stay, I will not stop you either. Warriors were not born in peace and harmony, they only rise within blood and metal. The humans are in need of a strong opponent like you to train on; only then, can the humans grow stronger from the sense of danger you bring to them."
Shi Buyi was bewildered, he asked again in disbelief, "If I really don't follow, you really won't kill me?"
Zhong Yue shook his head in affirmation.
Shi Buyi instantly turned to leave, but stopped a second later. He turned back and said while smiling, "You are lying to me, aren't you? You will surely kill me if I stay, am I right? You can't kill me now exactly because I have lend you help for many times; however, if I decide to stay, you will then have the right reason to kill me! Hmph, cheeky bastard, I will not fall for that!"
Zhong Yue sighed speechlessly. Shi Buyi had too much doubts, he could never fully trust the others, and only believes what he sees; he even doubted a genuine chance given to him to leave, and insisted to stay as a mount and follow Zhong Yue instead.
The more you think, the more opportunities will slip away from your fingers. Huh? , Zhong Yue suddenly tilted his head and listened. Immediately, a bright smile transformed his face, and he took out the copper lamp, placing it on the center of the altar.
"The Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication may commence now! Lion, Xuan Yuan, guard the perimeter!"
His divine third eye opened, and three godly rays brimmed in his divine eyes. However, they were not shot out, but continued brewing brighter.
One side was bright like the sun, the other smooth like the moon, and the third eye shaped like a golden willow leaf.
As time passes by, his aura grew stronger. Totem patterns emerged around him in various forms of legendary beasts—the dragons, phoenixes, White Tigers, Black Tortoises, Vermilion Birds and many others!
Six light wheels were revolving around him, with the Pan Gu God sitting in his Dao Yu Yuan Shen secret realm; there were also the faint figures of the ancient gods, worshipping at Zhong Yue in the center!
Then, all of the heteromorphisms were consolidated into two scrolls, which turned into two sabers right after. The sabers were pure white and pitch black in color each, representing the Yin and Yang. When the two sabers were merged together, an enormously huge [Tai Chi Art] was formed.
The [Tai Chi Art] tardily descended down and covered the whole mountain; it falls onto the ground and extended 3,000 miles out centering the mountain!
Then, an inner core hovered up into the sky, it inflated like a balloon, and formed a dome above the [Tai Chi Art] and covered the whole mountain within.
The Nine Revolving Inner Core's Force Field, Celestial Demon Tai Chi Force Field!
On the mountain summit, Shi Buyi and Gongsun Xuanyuan stood behind Zhong Yue. They glanced around and saw many altars emerging out of nowhere around the mountain. On the altars, there were many gods with each of them originating from a different race!
The visualized figures of the many gods just showed how amazing Zhong Yue's cultivation technique was, nearly covering all the forms of the gods in it!
Other than that, they could also see the Yin Qi sinking to the bottom of the ground while the Yang Qi floating up into the sky. The Yin and Yang revolves and converts continuously, forming the figure of a godly fish—the Yin Yang Fish.
The Yin Yang Fish was bigger than the Kun Pengs, so huge it could easily bite a hole in the sky.
Then, a scorching sun rose within the Yin Qi, but was gnawed away by a visualized Kun; while a bright moon fell from the Yang Qi, and was eaten away by a second visualized Kun.
These two visualized huge fishes then swam around the Black Mountain. They have no physical bodies, and were in between the forms of gas and light.
Meanwhile, the Nine Revolving Inner Core flew toward Zhong Yue with the Fuxi celestial being in it growing to over ten thousand feet tall, and it merged with his mortal body and Yuan Shen.
At that instant, Shi Buyi could feel as though Zhong Yue was now part of the Black Mountain altar. He was now the altar, possessing the unearthly power of the heaven and earth!
