Chapter 681 - Sworn Brothers (1/2)

Zhong Yue took out a jade box, and saw that there was a godly inner core in it. He have seen many godly inner cores, they usually bear many kinds of heteromorphisms with godly rays lingering around it.

However, the godly inner core in the jade box was more peculiar. It looked like a treasure, and a medicinal pellet at the same time. There was the image of a god sitting in the core and was surrounded with various totem patterns. The voice of Dao could be vaguely heard chanting from within and the fragrant of an exceptional medicine was emanated.

The image of the god in the inner core was also making many unpredictable and extremely deep hand seals.

"What is this spiritual core?" Zhong Yue was surprised as he asked.

"An excellent treasure! A great fortune!" Through Zhong Yue's eyes, Xin Huo looked at the spiritual core in the jade box. His eyes lit up and he smiled: "This is the Dao Imparting Innate Core, the treasure refined by an innate god. Half of it is a spiritual core, and the other half of a medium to contain the knowledge of Dao. It seems like an innate god gave it to Fa Zhaozhen, but Fa Zhaozhen treasured it so much he was not willing to use it and so he gave it to his son! The Dao Imparting Innate Core was formed by injecting the innate god's attainments into an inner core through the innate god's innate Qi. If he meets with a young child who he likes, he would enlighten the young child and through the Dao Imparting Innate Core, and the young child would receive the innate god's cultivation heritage."

Goddess Shen Hou also looked at it and said: "I've also concocted a Dao Imparting Innate Core myself before, it required the innate god's life source and innate Qi… Wait, this particular one doesn't look right!"

She looked at it carefully, her face suddenly turned cold and she sneered: "This is not the Dao Imparting Innate Core, it's more precise that it's called the Life Switching Innate Core!"

"Life Switching Innate Core?" Zhong Yue's psyche rumbled, he asked puzzling, "What do you mean?"

"The spiritual core contains an innate god's memory. Looks like an innate god died for some reason and was powerless to heal himself anymore. So he refined his soul, memory, blood essence, and innate Qi into a spiritual core. Fa Zhaozhen somehow found it and thought it was a treasure." Goddess Shen Hou repeatedly looked at this spiritual core, she said, "After refining and absorbing this spiritual core, you will learn its inheritance while unconsciously, his blood essence will slowly change your physical body structure, his soul and memory changes your atman, and his innate Qi will invade your mind and take over your life. You will not be you anymore. Although through this way, he would not be reborn into an innate god, but at least he can still come alive and live well."

"So this spiritual core really contained a dead innate god in it?" Zhong Yue stared at the godly image inside of the spiritual core, and mumbled unbelievably, "Why did this innate god die? Who can be strong enough to even kill an innate god?"

It wasn't because of his lack of knowledge that Xin Huo couldn't have seen through the truth of the spiritual core, but it was because he was looking through the eyes of Zhong Yue. Zhong Yue's cultivation level and divine eyes were far too weak to perceive such high grade materials, thus, Xin Huo wouldn't be able to as well. Whereas Goddess Shen Hou was an innate god herself, there really wasn't nothing much that could hide from her eyes.

One should know that even the Prison Realm Realm Lord couldn't see through the secrets in this spiritual core, let alone Zhong Yue.

"The innate gods are truly hard to kill, only a handful innate gods died for eons. But somewhen about a 100,000 years ago, I have sensed that a great number of innate gods has fallen." Goddess Shen Hou's face was full of fear and she muttered, "Those years were the most fearful days I've ever lived. I was horrified and frightened, I can sense the outside world was filled with an evil and powerful force. Wars, disasters, destruction, and death plagued across the universe. The heaven and earth are filled with all kinds of negative emotions—fear, vendetta, resentment, hate, and the lust to kill. All living beings mourned in it, cried for mercy and still died horribly. The innate gods were killed in a series of death battles. I can also sense the planets dying and lives in it extinguished, even their souls couldn't have remained…"

Although she could not leave the floating palace. But she could still sense the catastrophe happening in the outside world. The incident more than a 100,000 years ago still feared her even now.

Fortunately, the floating palace was not affected.

Zhong Yue held the Dao Imparting Innate Core and didn't know what to do. The Dao Imparting Innate Core was a true treasure, but if he refined it, it might devoured his soul and took away his life.

However, the heritage contained in it was extremely rare. If refined, he would be able to acquire the innate Qi of an innate god.

"The remnant soul in the spiritual core may be one of those innate gods that died during that period of time. Give this spiritual core to me." Goddess Shen Hou opened her white palm and smiled as she said, "I will handle it and return you a complete Dao Imparting Innate Core when I'm done."

Zhong Yue placed the Dao Imparting Innate Core in her hand. Goddess Shen Hou carefully took the spiritual core. Her eyes flashed brightly, and his divine psyche fluctuated into the spiritual core, "No need to pretend anymore. If you want to live, you have to answer a few questions."

An ancient divine psyche rumbled within the spiritual core, and answered in a profound language, "You are also an innate god, why do you obstruct my plan? Do you know who I am!?"

"Your life was in my hands, and so I suggest you to give me what I want. You are an ancient innate god, but I am much primeval than you."

The god in the spiritual core was silent for a moment and his divine psyche fluctuated again, "What do you want to know?"

...

In the distance, when the Realm Lord's kill flew out of Fa Bisheng's head, Jun Wudao suddenly opened her eyes. But when the Realm Lord's skill was dispelled all of a sudden, and Zhong Yue's saber slained Fa Bisheng, the lady couldn't help but to changed her expression drastically, and she whispered sternly, "Leave!"

She quickly fled from the scene, and her followers quickly followed and asked, "Senior Martial Sister Wudao, did you not found a way to counter his skills?"
