Chapter 1088: The Good and Evil Sides
Zhong Yue murmured softly, “And I was still wondering how Senior Martial Brother Feng could possibly let him walk away. Just as I thought, Senior Martial Brother Feng was prepared to capture a new prey for his research…”
The experts were in remorse for not being able to witness the battle between Zhong Yue and Xuan Ji. On the other hand, it was fortunate that they couldn’t witness the battle or there wouldn’t be more than just a few who could still maintain their Dao hearts.
If they have seen the battle of two great monarchs battling in their strongest fortes, their confidence and will would have experienced an irreversible fall that would greatly hinder their cultivation progress!
As the General Assembly of Future Monarchs was drawing to a close, the 17,000 gods left one after another. Zhong Yue was at the gate, sending them off and promising another meeting in 100 years.
“Everyone, in this time of chaos, stay safe!” Outside of the Heaven Breaching Fortress, Zhong Yue bowed and sent the experts off.
Yangguan Yuan laughed, “All you brats, if you see Yi Feng on the battlefield, I suggest you all lower your heads and surrender quickly. He treats us well now, but when on the battlefield, he would still show no mercy in killing us!”
Qing Ruqu smiled and asked, “Then, what if it’s Brother Yuan that bumps into King Yi?”
“I’ll run and ask the seniors to kill him. I’ll never fight him, I’m not an idiot!” Yangguan Yuan laughed, “Lord Yi Feng, see you in another hundred years!”
And the experts left.
Then, Zhong Yue turned around and looked at the five strangely looking experts that still hadn’t left. He smiled and asked, “Senior martial siblings, aren’t you leaving?”
They were none other than Innate Evil Monarch’s disciple, Xie Yang; Innate Dark Monarch’s disciple, Mo Yuanlie; Innate Celestial Monarch’s disciple, Shen Xiage; Yuan Ya Deity King’s disciple, Zhuo Ya; and Feng Tian Origin Lord’s disciple, Feng Yuhuan.
The meeting of the future monarchs lasted for roughly a year. Throughout that time, the five of them had been staying in the Heaven Breaching Fortress, but they never got on stage and talked nor discussed and exchanged their ideas with the other experts, and they also didn’t use the Tian Pan.
Zhong Yue smiled, “Not joining in nor leaving, what are the five of you here for?”
Xie Yang, Mo Yuanlie, and the others exchanged a look. Then, they looked up and saw the Heaven Breaching Fortress’s five monarch weapons and the Tian Pan already hovering above them. Even if they took action now, it would be almost impossible to take down Zhong Yue.
But they weren’t willing to leave just like this either.
Yin Fanxuan cleared her throat, she reminded them, “Senior martial siblings, is it your intent to stay here? Perhaps, you have forgotten about Imperial Emperor Xian Tian?”
The five immediately understood her meaning and soon left the Heaven Breaching Fortress.
“King Yi, let’s fight some other day!” Zhuo Ya’s voice could be heard from far as he was leaving.
Zhong Yue opened his Six Paths Reincarnation and his body suddenly shuddered. The humongous Six Paths Tian Lun sliced into his secret realms and Si Ming walked down from Tian Lun. She smiled while saying, “Zhong Yue, you should be back in the 3,000 Six Paths World now, no? I’m here to pick you up.”
Gu Yue walked out of Zhong Yue’s body and headed toward the Six Paths Tian Lun. He smiled “For you to come and pick me, you have a purpose.”
Si Ming chortled, “We are, after all, of the same clan. It’s natural that I come and pick you up. Why do you have to accuse me of having an ulterior motive? You think too little of me. However, I won’t mind reaping some benefits from this either.”
Zhong Yue smiled, “I need more information on Heaven. Information that you didn’t mention in our last conversation. Why don’t we discuss and exchange some information we both know.”
Si Ming grew serious, she asked solemnly, “What information do you have for me?”
“How about the ways to separate the four past bodies?” Rays flashed in Zhong Yue’s eyes and he answered.
Si Ming’s eyes lit up and she nodded. Then, Zhong Yue imparted her his understandings in the Dirt Body, Dao Body, Emotion Body, and Soul Body, he said, “I’ve already separated the Soul Body, who is Gu Yue. The Dirt Body requires a full unsealing of the Fuxi bloodline. The Dao Body needs me to cultivate my art to its peak. But the Emotion Body, I’m afraid I may not be able to achieve it.”
Rays were brimming in Si Ming’s eyes, she mulled and said, “I can cultivate my Soul Body and Dirt Body, but the Dao Body and Emotion Body is a problem… But the information you provide is still very useful!”
Zhong Yue said, “You’ve talked about the origin of Heaven, and he found out about another existence, the Heaven’s Monarch, that stood above him.”
Si Ming continued the story, “After Heaven’s birth, the Heaven’s Monarch, who was also our Fuxi Clan’s monarch, Dao Venerate Fu Min, became his obstacle. Heaven is the highest form of life, the supreme being. He could not abide anything standing above it. He was born from the worships of the many living beings over many years, born with no face, no body, and no emotions. He is the supreme lifeform and his power is absolute. But the greatest power the living beings can ever imagine was Dao Venerate Fu Min’s power. Dao Venerate Fu Min was the strongest and the stood at the pinnacle of the living beings’ imagination of supreme power.”
Zhong Yue nodded. Dao Venerate Fu Min was the progenitor of the Six Paths Reincarnation. He himself represented the limit of the era itself. This meant that the strongest that Heaven could hope to go was to merely be on par with Dao Venerate Fu Min’s, maybe even weaker.
After all, not many had seen Dao Venerate Fu Min at his peak power.
But even so, it was more than enough to bring Heaven to the level of the Dao Gods.
“The Heaven in the living beings’ eyes was just. He rewarded good people and punished the wicked. He belonged to no celestial nor demon and stood as the only one of his kind. He is above the mortal worlds, he keeps the universe in a smooth operation and maintains its peace. But when the living beings experienced a downfall in their lives, they would also blame Heaven for turning a blind eye at their plight. Some even blamed Heaven for being the cause of it all. Thus, Heaven, who was born of the worships of the living beings, became no different to us, having his good and evil sides. How ironic, it’s the living beings that bestowed him everything and eventually made him into their ruler!”
Si Ming continued, “He maintains the universe’s operation, but also uses it to eliminate his enemies. The perfect Heaven in the living beings’ hearts was never perfect since his birth. Ever since he was brought to life, he was consumed by desire, the first of which was to eliminate the one who stood above him.”
