Chapter 1046: The Dark Side (1/2)
“Why is the Pao Xi Clan named so?” Zhong Yue asked Xin Huo.
“Pao means cookery, Xi means offerings. Pao Xi means cooking offerings to host a ritual for the ancestors.”
Xin Huo explained, “The Pao Xi kid said he is the first to not worship the innate gods but his ancestors. He used the innate gods as the offerings and offered them to his ancestors’ spirits. Thus, the Fuxi Clan’s Xi was initially Pao Xi’s Xi, but was then changed to a different Xi. In the godly language, Fuxi’s Xi was written with the symbols of cows and lambs on the top, and sabers at the bottom. It means to kill the innate gods and offer them away.”
In the Picture of Armistice, another flash of light shot out as Hundun Yu walked out of it. Zhong Yue turned and looked at the Picture of Armistice that was now back to its original state.
“Phew, so close,” Hundun Yu wiped the beads of cold sweat on his forehead, “If I hadn’t bumped into the Picture of Armistice’s weapon spirit, I wouldn’t have made it out alive! Thankfully, the picture spirit sent me out thanks to my grand ancestor.”
Did Senior Martial Brother Yu enter a different Two Yuan World?
Zhong Yue was curious as he walked forward,I wonder how many can make it out alive.
Gao Yin, Mo Yuanshu and the others entered earlier than him. They could be in different worlds as well. However, in the Two Yuan world that Zhong Yue was in, all the experts that sided with Dark Monarch’s innate gods were annihilated. They were turned into part of the picture, as living elements of a painting that would reincarnate endlessly in the Picture of Armistice.”
That said, there wouldn’t be much that would be able to walk out of the Picture of Armistice alive.
In front of them, another stone tablet moved, it would be the fourth stage.
Zhong Yue and Hundun Yu walked forward and saw that Mo Yuanshu, Shen Qiushan, and the others were still alive. However, they had come with many experts but were now the only ones that remained of their initial parties.
On the other hand, Feng Tian Origin Lord’s disciples still had two survivors, Feng Mingshan and Feng Yulan. The others all were already dead.
But what shocked Zhong Yue was that Feng Wuji was alive.
Other than them, Gao Yin has also survived the Picture of Armistice with one evil lord. The other four were dead in the picture.
Du Ya was also alive, and so was the elder Dao child.
Under the stone tablet, there was a figure covered in lights waiting patiently in the stone tablet’s shadows. He didn’t care to meet with the others and was seemingly waiting for the fourth stage.
They were all the disciples of those closest to the level of Dao Gods. But just after three stages of entering the Fuxi Ancestral Court, only ten remained of the initial over one hundred. This made them all felt uneasy.
The stone tablet shook, and the patterns were projected down. Immediately, bright lights blinded their eyes, it was as if there were a billion suns that exploded at the same time!
After a long time, the lights shrunk and coalesced in one place. A few moments passed, and the lights all disappeared, revealing a huge mirror on its spot. The mirror was right on the path, blocking it with no open corners.
There was a small hole in the mirror and beneath it was a vertical slit. It would be the only way to get through the mirror.
Feng Wuji was puzzled, “Is that wanting us to go through it? To the front of the mirror, then through the slit and past this stage?”
Du Ya suddenly sighed and said, “People, let’s leave. This is an innate dragon scale. It is taken and forged from a Fuxi monarch. It has the ability to decipher everything. This stage, I have no confidence of making it through.”
Gao Yin smiled, “Imperial Emperor Du Ya, you and I both are Imperial Emperors, we are not far from the monarch stage. This is just a dragon scale, do you think it can stop us? Aren’t you shaming your dear teacher, Yuan Ya Deity King’s, name?”
Imperial Emperor Du Ya hesitated, he knew of the innate dragon scale, he knew how strong they were. The innate dragon scales from the Fuxi Clan and Leizhe Clan were said to be able to decipher even the undecipherable!
For this dragon scale suffused with the monarch’s aura to be placed as the fourth stage, it would simply mean that its power was stronger than even the Create Evolve Mystical Gate, Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom, and Picture of Armistice!
This was why he was hesitating.
However, he did come under Yuan Ya Deity King’s orders. If his teacher knew that he left without even trying, he could already imagine the consequences that would follow!
However, Gao Yin’s words did move him. He was a disciple to one of the strongest living beings in the universe. He had learned many things from the Yuan Ya Deity King that were even unknown to the gods out there. He was beyond his peers. An innate dragon scale, even from a monarch, would it really able to harm him?
“This innate dragon scale has a flaw!” Feng Wuji abruptly said, “Look at that slit, it is the opening to this stage!”
“You don’t say…” Mo Yuanshu sneered coldly, “Anyone could tell by just looking at the slit!”
Feng Wuji smiled, “But Brother Yuanshu, did you know? Because the innate dragon scale has a crack on it, its ability to decipher will also be flawed? When the dragon scale reflects us on its surface, this slit can’t. Thus, this slit is where the opening is!”
Rays of wisdom flashed in his eyes as he continued, “Which means, if this innate dragon scale attacks us, everything that comes from it will also have a flaw! This flaw will be our hope to pass this stage!”
The crowd remained quiet for a few moments, then Feng Yulan praised, “Mister Wuji sure is wise.”
“Why so troublesome?” Dark Monarch’s elder Dao child said, “The Fuxi Clan’s arts and techniques have long since been countered. An innate dragon scale, can it stop us? People, you should have also learned of the counters to the Fuxi cultivation heritage, right? Why are you all still acting cowardly in front of the dragon scale? We’ve all came well prepared, so why all the bluster?”
In just seconds, he unveiled the fake masks they were all been wearing, revealing their true hideous appearance.
They did come prepared for this trip. Their teachers taught them the counters to the Fuxi’s cultivations.
Feng Wuji’s face darkened and he looked at Imperial Emperor Du Ya whose expression was that of awkwardness. Feng Wuji cursed,These brats came prepared! Imperial Emperor Du Ya acted shock and emphasized on the innate dragon scale’s power, claiming that even he didn’t have the confidence to pass it. He is only doing that to make us turn back while he quietly tries to stay! Shit, I even stood out and help them analyze the innate dragon scale’s flaw. In their eyes, I am just a clown?! Then there’s this Feng Yulan, she seemed to be treating me well, but she too is here to laugh at me!
