Chapter 1092 - Call of The Void (1/2)
Heavenly Suppression Fortress.
Zhong Yue brought his beautiful wives to enjoy the scenery around, having the time of their lives while they cultivated with each other. With the Tian Pan, Zhong Yue started calculating the Seven Paths Reincarnation, occasionally sharing his knowledge and ideas, showing little to no concern for the frontline.
His own men, apart from the Xian Tian Royal Guards, were all present. No matter how the battle ended or if Imperial Emperor Xian Tian found out his secrets or not, these soldiers were his greatest asset, men that would die with him!
As for Xin Huo, he had been acting strangely ever since the General Assembly of Future Monarchs ended, seemingly looking exhausted, demotivated and showing little interest in everything happening around him. Perhaps, the shock from the Fuxi 22 reigns of Heavenly Monarchs’ arts displayed by Xuan Ji had dealt quite a blow to his spirits.
This little flame only knew 9 era Heavenly Monarchs’ arts and Xuan Ji knew an additional 13 era Heavenly Monarchs’ arts. This was a blow against his pride as the Flame of Inheritance, causing him to feel unworthy of this title.
What shocked Xin Huo even more was that Xuan Ji actually managed to combine the arts together and still got defeated by Zhong Yue regardless!
This made Xin Huo feel even more useless, as even merging all the arts didn’t mean one could be invincible.
In fact, he had previously proclaimed to Zhong Yue that if Zhong Yue managed to merge all the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs’ arts into one, he would become truly undefeatable!
But what Zhong Yue did had flipped Xin Huo’s world view upside down.
The merging of Fuxi Celestial Race’s Heavenly Monarchs’ arts wouldn’t make one unstoppable!
This was quite a blow to Xin Huo’s confidence.
Meanwhile, with the Tian Pan activated, Zhong Yue tried to merge the [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils] and the [Innate Eight Trigrams] together while incorporating the Fuxi Celestial Race’s heritage art. With the Tian Pan right now, Zhong Yue was able to merge even more arts. Although he was still incapable of merging so many arts like Xuan Ji, it was still impressive in its own way.
“Zhong Yue, what’s the point of merging the Fuxi Celestial Race’s arts?”
A disheartened Xin Huo said, “Didn’t you see what happened to Xuan Ji? He perfectly merged the arts together but he was still defeated.”
Zhong Yue smiled back, “Xin Huo, have you forgotten that I am the one that defeated Xuan Ji?”
He looked into the trails left behind by [Innate Eight Trigrams] in the Tian Pan, lights shined in his eyes, turned into Innate Tai Chi, the Innate Four Symbols and finally into the Innate Eight Trigrams and he continued, “I’ve found a way to counter the ancestors’ arts but my own arts are still safe and sound. As long as my arts are still unbreakable, the Fuxi Celestial Race’s arts are all unbreakable!”
Xin Huo stunned for a second and he burst out laughing in happiness, “Yes! That’s it! You are my inheritor, if you are undefeated, I am undefeated! And here I thought I’ve lost, Great Sui had lost! Haha! The great Xin Huo is still standing!”
The little flame’s normal bluster quickly returned as he laughed with his arms crossed in contentment.
After some time, the little flame returned calm and said to Zhong Yue, “You really are a stubborn one, the most stubborn inheritor I’ve ever had!”
The sheer will, commitment, determination and ever-burning confidence shown by Zhong Yue was something Xin Huo had never seen.
Among the many inheritors, Zhong Yue was not the smartest nor the most talented one. In fact, Zhong Yue stood near the bottom among the inheritors in that regard.
When he first met Zhong Yue, the Fuxi bloodline in him was so faint that he would often ignore it unintentionally.
But now, Xin Huo found Zhong Yue to be the one he liked the most out of the many inheritors he cultivated, for Zhong Yue was a stubborn one.
His shortcomings in intelligence and talent was made up for with [Innate Eight Trigrams] created by Zhong Yue, reversing the innate and raising his own talents.
He even gathered everyone’s talent, the future monarchs’ intelligence and in this chaotic world, he was crowned as the unrivaled strategists!
There was one thing Xin Huo was sure of, those who praised and admired what Zhong Yue had achieved would never believe that Zhong Yue was once an ordinary human with little talent!
Because of Zhong Yue’s will, the young human with limited talent now stood near the pinnacle, a feat that few could boast of.
About ten days later, Zhong Yue finally managed to incorporate the [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils] into his [Innate Eight Trigrams].
He activated the [Innate Eight Trigrams], and the [Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils] also started running. The moon and sun rose before falling into his eyes, the divine third eye in his forehead opened. In his eyes, the structure of the world started changing.
Before, the mountains he saw were mountains, the water was water, the galaxy was the same old galaxy. But now, in the vision of the Three Eyes Heavenly Pupils, everything was not the same anymore.
Now, he saw the trails of Daos as the Daos ran in the heaven and earth, every flow in the water, the blossom of the flowers, the falling of the fallen leaves, even the ladies’ hairs waving against the wind were all the Daos’ reflection.
This world as he knew it had become even more lively and mysterious at the same time.
In the layers of dimensions, the structures were so clear, he saw time flowing like water, present in every corner and every inch.
He saw the Moon God, the only existence unperturbed by time, in the Heavenly Suppression Fortress. She stood amidst the flow of time, unflinched by the flow, quiet, peaceful yet mysterious.
Zhong Yue was stunned, Moon God turned around and gave him a gentle smile.
Uncontrollably, Zhong Yue lost himself amidst this smile untouched by the river of time. After some time, he moved his vision away and looked deep into the mysterious skies.
