Chapter 1129: Different Paths
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Yan Xing Deity King looked askance at the old turtle and shook his head, “King Xiang, our paths have determined that we will not get along, you and I are, after all, walking towards different paths. I may be on bad terms with Dark Monarch, having been sealed away by him for so many years, but we are on the same path. As for you, you are just an unpleasant guest, one that will only dirty the waters. I fear that you are asking too much by trying to convince me to join you.”
That old turtle grinned and swam away slowly, diving deep into the water before mocking, “A masochist you are, enjoying being beaten up!”
Yan Xing Deity King then shifted his vision towards Dark Monarch’s Dao Palace with wariness in his eyes. Another voice then laughed out, “Patience, patience is what you need right now, Brother Yan Xing. Dark Monarch is on his life-or-death closed door cultivation right now, trying to shed off the past body. This is not the best time for you to take revenge. Just so you know, with his strength right now, sealing you away would be just as easy as flipping his palm.”
“Evil Monarch?”
Yan Xing Deity King’s furry ears stood up and he cautiously said, “Where are you? Show yourself!”
“In the ancient universe, I’m talking to you right now, all the way from the ancient universe.”
Innate Evil Monarch’s voice said again, “I lost a bet against Dark Monarch, forced to give him my word that I will never enter Zi Wei again. Speaking of which, it seems that you and I have something in common, it would be wiser for us to work together. Once Dark Monarch sheds his past body off, we will strike right away. You will let him know how powerful you are and I will have my revenge!”
Yan Xing Deity King smirked, “Evil Monarch, working with you is just like working with the tiger, if I let my guard down, even for just a second, I risk being eaten wholly by you. You too, are not a good thing as well! You may be restricted from entering Zi Wei because of your promise with him. And what does that have to do with me? You have no right to talk about teaming up with me if you can’t even enter Zi Wei!”
Hearing this, even Evil Monarch got furious and rebutted, “You fool, you had it all coming! People always learn from their mistakes, but you, after being sealed away for such a long time, you’ve learned nothing! Your brain is still that rusty brain!”
His voice faded slowly under Yan Xing Deity King’s smirk and another voice sounded, “Hmmm… if Yan Xing Deity King rejected Evil Monarch and King Xiang, then how about working with me?”
“Yuan Ya!”
Yan Xing Deity King turned around and stared into the eyes of the approaching Yuan Ya Deity King, saying coldly, “You attacked me when I broke free, injured me with a strike and you dare to come to me right now?”
Yuan Ya Deity King however, continued speaking politely, “What? So you did not attack me back in the years? This is all just an eye for an eye, if you can’t swallow it, then hit me, I will not fight back, you have my word.”
Without hesitation, Yan Xing Deity King swung a punch towards Yuan Ya Deity King, who just stood still and did nothing about the incoming attack. He took it directly and even with his absurdly powerful cultivation level, his bones broke and he coughed out blood.
This shocked even Yan Xing Deity King himself and his unhappiness dispersed quickly, “Heh, in the end, you are the most honest one among them. Fine, if that’s the case, I will team up with you.”
With a smile, Yuan Ya Deity King walked closer to Yan Xing Deity King and whispered, “Senior martial brother, you’ve been away for too long so let me tell you this, Great Si Ming is back!”
The expression on Yan Xing Deity King’s face froze up in an instant, his face turned pale and he shouted, “Back to life? Impossible! We sent him to death back then! How is he alive again!”
Yuan Ya grabbed Yan Xing Deity King’s hand, left with him and continued, “Which is why I’m here to ask for your help. Don’t worry, I have precautions readied so Great Si Ming will not be too much of a problem. However, I will need your help in pulling it off. As for Dark Monarch, we can leave him aside first and return when he is about to shed the past body. Now, let’s talk about what we need to do on the way back. You missed a lot of the fun when you were away, when Dao Venerate Fu Min passed away….”
…
In the Heavenly Fire Barren Region.
Softly, Feng Yuhuan explained what she had experienced to Feng Tian Origin Lord, told her how she captured Zhong Yue before being captured by Zhuo Ya and brought back to the Innate Dao Mountain later on.
She recounted, in full detail, Zhong Yue’s massacre and continued, “I fell into King Yi’s trap and was forced to give him my word. Shen Xiage and Xie Yang were also compelled to fulfill his demands. In the end, when Shen Xiage attacked him, a powerful attack descended from the skies and with a power so great, Shen Xiage was destroyed in body and soul. That attack’s strength was so powerful that even I froze up when it happened, all I could do is run and with the vow still in effect, I will no longer be able to do anything to King Yi.”
“An attack from the skies?” repeated Feng Tian Origin Lord in surprise.
Feng Yuhuan then started visualizing and created the images of the situation again.
Upon seeing what was shown to her by Feng Yuhuan, Feng Tian Origin Lord’s face changed and she grinned, “Heaven’s hand is extending way too far! This is not an attack from the skies but a Heavenly Dao’s attack! What you swore the vow at was not King Yi’s Dao but the Heavenly Dao itself! This means that you swore a vow to Heaven and if you go against what you swore, you will be punished, by Heaven!”
Terrorized by the news, Feng Yuhuan lost her cool right away and Feng Tian Origin Lord comforted her by saying, “Worry not, this type of vow is not a problem to monarchs, which means it is not a problem to me as well. I will help you to remove this curse and free you from your worries. This so-called Heaven is nothing more than a child to me.”
Feng Tian Origin Lord reached out her beautiful hands, pointed at Feng Yuhuan’s forehead and started moving around, immediately, Feng Yuhuan felt abnormal movements in her soul. Seconds later, she saw Feng Tian Origin Lord extracting a strange looking mark from her soul, which was exactly the mark that appeared when she swore the vow towards the Dao’s marking created by Zhong Yue!
“This is the Heavenly Dao’s marking when you swore the vow, it is connected to your soul.”
Feng Tian Origin Lord smiled, “As long as I erase this marking, the vow will be shattered.”
Her energy rumbled, fiery heavenly fire started invading Feng Yuhuan’s soul, forcefully removing this marking but just as the marking was shaken, the heaven and earth’s Daos surged in, gushing into the Heavenly Fire Barren Region in the form of divine light, forming a marking of Heaven above Feng Tian Origin Lord’s head!
“Child! You are too confident if you think you can suppress me!”
Feng Tian Origin Lord let out a battle cry and with it, the entire Heavenly Fire Barren Region turned to life, the ancient power that existed since the universe was born awakened from its slumber and slammed the marking of Heaven that was taking form into bits!
Feng Tian Origin Lord smirked, removed the Heavenly Dao marking in Feng Yuhuan’s soul and with a flick, the marking turned into a stream of smoke that fades into the air.
“Now, you are free from its threat.”
Feng Tian Origin Lord frowned slightly and added, “But what surprises me the most is that the Heavenly Daos’ strength is increasing gradually, it is so much stronger than before. This is not necessarily a good thing….”
Feng Yuhuan, who understood nothing about what she said, decided to remain silent.
All of a sudden, Feng Tian Origin Lord gave her a warm smile, but the words coming out of her mouth did not make Feng Yuhuan feel warm at all “Your Junior Martial Brother Mingshan is very outstanding, not long ago, when I was away, he took the chance and left with quite a few of your junior martial brothers and sisters. He then set up his own clan and called it the new Tian Feng Sovereign Race. This boy is really is one of a kind, I treated him with kindness and generosity and he repaid me by betraying me! This time, I want you out there and bring his head back to me!”
Feng Yuhuan’s expression changed hearing this and she tremblingly said, “Teacher! Mingshan will never betray! I will bring him back here and have him explain to you his foolish actions….”
Feng Tian Origin Lord waved her hands and smiled, “Hush, there is no need to speak for him, I know very well about the little thoughts running in his little mind. It’d be good if you brought him back but if he refused to come back, I’d be happy to talk to his head as well. Right now, all the powers in this universe are starting their little movements, no longer satisfied with what they have right now. But it would be difficult to compete with everyone with only Six Paths Reincarnation. Stay here for a moment and summon Yuyu, Mingjin, Yuqiao, and Mingtian. Once they arrive, I will use the saint herb to open up your seventh secret realm, teach you the Seven Paths Reincarnation and you will all be dispatched after learning it.”
Feng Yuhuan was happy and surprised, previously, only Feng Mingshan gained the favor of Feng Tian Origin Lord because of his talents, hence, the saint herbs were prepared for Feng Mingshan, which ignited the jealousy and envy of others.
But now, Feng Tian Origin Lord was going to help her, Feng Yuyu, Feng Mingjin, Feng Yuqiao, and Feng Mingtian to open up the seventh secret realm, which was something they should be more than happy about!
…
Ancient universe, Demon Monarch Palace.
After returning from Returning Ruins, Innate Demon Monarch frowned slightly and with a wave, Million Demons Banner flew into his hands and he examined the hole on the Million Demons Banner before letting out a sigh.
He then summoned all his disciples, who were mostly serving under Demon Monarch Yang Hou. Upon receiving the order, the disciples all showed up in the main hall.
Innate Demon Monarch looked at his disciples and his voice rumbled, “Now, the universe is experiencing drastic changes, more and more individuals are achieving the seventh secret realm and Seven Paths Reincarnation gradually. As for you who walk outside most of the time, you all represent the Demon Monarch Palace. Your elder Senior Martial Brother Yuanlie was killed by King Yi because of the lack of seventh secret realm not long ago, which led to a new decision I just made. From now onwards, I will select five disciples to help them open up seventh secret realm and teach them the Seven Paths Reincarnation. Now, show me what you can do.”
The disciples were all dumbfounded by the happy news.
Innate Demon Monarch continued, “The Demon Daos only bow before the strong. I will spread out the Million Demons World with Million Demons Banner and you will all enter the Million Demons World. Whoever walks out from there first will be selected as my heir.”
With a flick, the banner flew into the air, turned into Million Demons World, where Demon Daos thrived and horrendous demons scattered around.
“Teacher, if we run into each other in Million Demons World, are we permitted to kill each other?”
“Permission granted,” nodded the smiling Innate Demon Monarch.
The disciples became excited and flew right into the Million Demons World.
…
At the same time, Innate Celestial Monarch summoned his own disciples and announced, “The universe is a mess now and the Celestial Monarch Palace who acts as the source of all Celestial Dao is bound to shine brightly in this chaotic world. Your senior martial brother was killed by King Yi and I decided to select five more disciples to inherit my heritage. I will teach them the seventh secret realm and Seven Paths Reincarnation, to strike down all evil, purge all demons and enforce justice to the universe! Now, I will allow you to enter Innate Celestial Dao Sacred Ground, whoever improves the most after hundred days will become one of my heirs!”
The disciples all bowed and thanked their master.
…
As for the Evil Monarch Palace, after erasing the Heavenly Dao marking in Xie Yang’s soul, Innate Evil Monarch summoned his disciples and announced, “Now its the time for us to show our fangs. Xie Yang, Xie Feng, Xie Ding, Xie Yue, and Xue Qu. Come forth, I will help you all to achieve seventh secret realm and teach you the Seven Paths Reincarnation!”
And the happy disciples bowed before their master.
