Chapter 775 - Old Me, True Me (1/2)

However, old clan master and the others were still puzzled. Who was the one that stopped the last Heaven's Jealousy lightning tribulation? And why did it suddenly come back again?

And why did Zhong Yue trigger the Heavenly Tribulation in the first place?

As the last lightning bolt struck onto him and dispersed into smoke, a strange aura rose within Zhong Yue's body—it was the aura of a god. The transcendance of a mortal to the deityhood just like a chrysalis turning into butterfly.

He had taken a huge step in his path of cultivation, one that elevated him from a mortal to something beyond — a god!

The aura brewed stronger as time passed, Zhong Yue's mortal body was 10 thousand feet tall, even if he was sitting down, he still looked like a giant mountain.

But what was more surprising were the bright rays of light emanating out of his body.

Zhong Yue remained unmoving for a long time; all of a sudden, the divine third eye opened on his forehead and a second Zhong Yue walked out of it.

The old clan master and the other Leizhe dragons were stunned, they looked in bewilderment at the second Zhong Yue who was walking of his Zhong Yue's divine third eye.

There were two Zhong Yue?

The one sitting was huge and magnificent, although just sitting down, the energy brimming in him could be felt pulsing vibrantly. He felt like a babaric god that had slaughtered a billion lives.

Whereas the other was relatively small, the size of a normal human. He held a gentle smile on his face and the innate Qi in his body. Although he didn't emanate a domineering aura like the other one, this Zhong Yue felt like a young innate god.

The second Zhong Yue walked up to the crowd and bowed. The old clan master reciprocated the formality, then he asked puzzlingly, "Little cousin of the Fuxi Clan, why are there two of you? Who is the other one?"

Zhong Yue looked back and said with the gentle smile on his face, "That is my mortal body, the body that I shed."

The elder grew even more puzzling, "I can feel the Yuan Shen residing in it. If that's your old body, why is there also a Yuan Shen in it? Wait, you…"

A shocked expression radiated across his wrinkled face as he stuttered, "You… you…."

Zhong Yue smiled and confirmed his conjecture, "Yes, I've also shed away my old Yuan Shen."

The old clan master's head tumbled into chaos as he thought unbelieveably, Shedding off even one's old Yuan Shen?

Achieving the innate mortal body and innate Yuan Shen with this sort of method was something that the Leizhe Clan's clan master had never heard of!

Of course, the old clan master knew about the innate mortal body and innate Yuan Shen. After all, they were both cultivation techniques that originated from the Leizhe Clan and Fuxi Clan but was later leaked out from the two clans.

In the Zi Wei Galaxy, there were also cultivators and gods that have cultivated the innate mortal body and innate Yuan Shen. All of them had acquired the cultivation techniques unscrupulously from the two clans.

However, the innate mortal body and innate Yuan Shen they were cultivating were far different than Zhong Yue's innate mortal body and innate Yuan Shen. One could even say that the two were fundamentally different sets of cultivation techniques!

All because that the other cultivators and gods didn't shed away their old selves. They couldn't separate out their old mortal body and old Yuan Shen.

But Zhong Yue had done precisely that!

How did he do it? Although hard to believe, it was still possible for them to accept the fact that one could shed off the old mortal body, but to even shed off the old Yuan Shen?

The old clan master was curious, in just a short while of time, his understanding on the world of cultivation had been upended by Zhong Yue. One must know that the Yuan Shen was the atman, the atman was the soul and spirit combined. Betwen the two, the soul was the hardest to cultivate, it was still an impossible task for current Qi Practitioners to cultivate the innate soul.

The innate Yuan Shen that the Zi Wei Galaxy referred to was merely just cultivating the innate spirit, then enhancing the soul through infusing the innate Qi into it and cultivate the Pure Yang soul through lightning tempering. They would then infuse the innate Qi into the soul again to boost the soul to a pseudo innate state.

If there had never been anyone to completely shed away the old mortal body, let alone shedding away the old Yuan Shen as well.

Could this be why he was able to trigger the Heaven Tribulation?

Then, the surrounding experts watched dumbfoundedly with their mouth agape at Zhong Yue's old mortal body slowly standing up from the ground. His mortal body was also shrinking and in no time returned to his normal size; treading across the space in a strong and steady gait, he bowed at Zhong Yue and said, "Senior martial brother."

Zhong Yue shook, "You are the old me, you are the senior martial brother."

The second Zhong Yue shook, "The better ones are the elders, you've excelled further than I have, and you are the true me. Thus, you are the senior martial brother."

"Alright, fine then. You are the old me, thus, you will carry the name of Gu 1 Yue and live in the 3,000 Six Paths World for me." Zhong Yue smiled, "That way, you can help alleviate some pressure from my shoulders."

Gu Yue nodded.

On the other hand, the old clan master and the Leizhe elder dragons exchanged a look after witnessing this peculiar scene. The exchange between two Zhong Yue was so surreal; they were simply unable to reconcile that one was the old him and the other the current him.

Zhong Yue's old self, Gu Yue, was also a god just like the others, in flesh, blood, and mortal body. He had a completed Yuan Shen with spirit and soul. He felt just like a perfectly fine individual being, one that was born naturally and a complete person!

Moreover, when compared to other gods, he was far stronger than his peers, no more than a few could actually put up a match against him.

On the other hand, Zhong Yue also possessed the same. However, his aura felt closer to the innate gods, one that was still at the nascent stages of its life.

Yet, both of them were Zhong Yue, it couldn't help but puzzle even the elders.
