Chapter 726 - Unprecedented Predicament (1/2)

When Zhong Yue got close to the edge of the sun and attempted to retrieve the Innate Sun Spirit, the solar storm coincidentally erupted and quite a number of Innate Sun Spirits flew towards Ancestral Star.

And the one Zhong Yue had received was the Sovereign Tree. Although the tree couldn't become his spirit, it could still nurture his Golden Crow True Spirit and slowly morph it into an Innate True Spirit. Up until now, the Sovereign Tree was still within his Yuan Shen and it had since became the nest of the Innate Golden Crow True Spirit.

At that time, Zhong Yue discovered a horrifying existence within the sun; it was a creature incredibly huge that was digging right into the sun's core towards the Emperor's Tomb. While he snuck into the sun, he saw a gigantic mirror which reflected everything about him.

As the mirror moved, even more mirrors emerged and he later discovered that these mirrors were actually scales of a being he couldn't fathom.

Then, the seals in the tomb exploded, injuring the owner of the scales and thereby benefitting Zhong Yue; he managed to obtain one of the scales and since then, it had became one of his treasures.

There were blood stains on that scale he obtained but given the unique bloodline of the owner, even Xin Huo failed to identify the owner's race.

But Zhong Yue had still gained tremendously from the scale mirror. With the mirror, he enabled the cultivators of the Swords Gate to make quantum leaps in their training. Besides, with the ability to reflect one's weaknesses, Zhong Yue managed to triumph against his opponents time and time again.

In his heart, however, he clearly knew that the owner of the scale was not a benevolent being because that tomb that creature was trying to dig into was the tomb of the Sui Sovereign!

The tombs of these sovereigns back in Earth and the Flame Order Era was the shield of Ancestral Star that kept invaders at bay. Thus, it was obvious that the owner of the scales bore only ill intent towards the Ancestral Star when he tried to dig into the tomb.

Now, after sensing the scale hidden in Zhong Yue's Yuan Shen Secret Realm, the owner of the scales summoned his scale back.

The scale flew right towards Lesser Saint Heaven Realm, suggesting that the owner was one of the Realm Monarchs and now, the attention of this Realm Monarch is onto him now!

This Realm Monarch was injured in the sun, lost one of his scales because of that and now, after retrieving his scale back, the information of Zhong Yue was bound to be exposed and this Realm Monarch will know Zhong Yue had come from the Ancestral Star!

There was no other worse outcome than this!

The tensed up Zhong Yue immediately wanted to leave and run as far as he could.

Just one scale already possessed such fearsome power, if the owner used it himself, just imagine what he could see and how much more Zhong Yue could hide?

Even if he cast aside everything, it was already suspicious enough that Zhong Yue had come from the Ancestral Star alone!

The Ancestral Star was sealed off completely, meaning that leaving it should've been impossible. How did he manage to leave and how did he get here?

If he were discovered, then the very sole loophole in the seals would be discovered as well. After that, it was only a matter of time before the Ancestral Star truly became an inescapable prison!

It's fine if I die, but the secrets on me must not be found out at any cost! Whether it be Xin Huo or the hole in the seals, I must hide them no matter the price I have to pay!

Zhong Yue blinked his eyes and when he was about to leave, Heavenly King Shang looked at him and asked, "Lord Yue, what happened?"

Heavenly King Fu's expression changed slightly and he exclaimed, "Lord Yue?"

"Lord Yue successfully ascended into the forty-ninth level in Pure Yang Lighting Tribulations and he won the favor of our Realm Monarch, thus, the title Lord Yue. This young man's future is very bright!" replied Heavenly King Shang happily.

Heavenly King Fu's expression changed right away again and he felt bitter, This human had someone incredible behind him and he even manage to achieve something like that! And I just scolded someone with the potential of a Realm Monarch, and a Creator! This is bad….

He was observant and opportunistic; he would be obsequious to the strong and denigrate the weak. Now, upon knowing Zhong Yue's background and bright future, Heavenly King Fu's attitude towards Zhong Yue changed completely.

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, was as nervous as Heavenly King Fu as he wanted to leave right away but he couldn't since Heavenly King Fu glued onto him in order to please him.

Meanwhile in the Lesser Saint Heaven Realm, the many Realm Monarchs saw the scale that returned to Realm Monarch Dao Ming and they all praised and congratulated.

"Realm Monarch Bo Luo, to be able to enter your eyes, this young man must be related to you in some way that you even gave him one of your scales. This young man is definitely one of your people," said a Realm Monarch, "Why don't you summon him here and let us take a look at this young man?"

"Of course. I have something to ask him as well," replied Realm Monarch Dao Ming.

He was very puzzled; the Imperial Emperor and another few strong presences have made the Divine Tree of Knowledge and the Skymetrical Scroll, sealing the entire Ancestral Star's dimension, heaven and earth so how did this young man manage to get out?

Other than that, he even became a representative of the Wei Shen Six Paths World; something was not right for sure.

"I will summon him now."
