Chapter 734: Strange Fella

The title of ‘The First Qi Practitioner’ of all 3,000 Six Paths World was worth nothing in Zhong Yue’s eyes. What he actually cared about was the disparity in strength between Si Ming and himself on the same level.

To him, Si Ming was unreachable but also represented the goal that he swore to achieve if not surpass!

The conversion of the arcane energy into the innate Qi boosted his power by 3.5 times, even when it came at the cost of time, it was still a great improvement!

Despite this, he didn’t dare to claim that he could match Si Ming’s power at the same level.

It was clear in his heart that there was still a gulf between their strengths. It was just that he didn’t know exactly how large that gulf was. However, he thought it wouldn’t be too significant.

“Bo Di! Bo Di! Bo Di!”

A loud clamor that shook the heaven and earth suddenly broke the peace in his courtyard. The 3,000 Six Paths Worlds’ Qi Practitioners grand competition had come to an end, and the Qi Practitioners were ranked accordingly with the top ten garnering the most attention.

“Bo Di! Bo Di!” The gods and Qi Practitioners of the Bo Luo Six Paths World cheered vigorously.

Zhong Yue walked out of his courtyard and looked up to the sky to see none other than Prince Bo Di.

Prince Bo Di was standing on top of the head of a celestial emperor morphed dragon while it carried him and soared above his supporters in the sky.

He didn’t fail his people. He won the title of ‘The First Qi Practitioner’ of all 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and defended the honor of the Bo Luo Six Paths World. This moment belonged to him. Even the Realm Monarchs of the other Six Paths Worlds were looking at him with silent approval.

“Prince Bo Di has shown excellent strength in the grand competition, he deserves the title and is truly worthy as Realm Monarch Bo Luo’s son. The Yan Shi Six Paths World wholeheartedly concedes defeat.” One of the Realm Monarchs nodded and said.

The other participating Qi Practitioners were silent. Some of them quietly left through the clamorous crowd and returned to their courtyards. Some were even packing and ready to leave.

But there were also some, such as the other nine Qi Practitioners in the list of top ten, that remained. As a reward for making it to the top ten list, they were granted permission to leave for the Zi Wei Imperial Star. There, they would be able to receive teachings from higher beings.

“Brother Zhong, without you by our side, we still couldn’t avoid defeat, but at least we aren’t the last place now.” Yu Bochuan mocked himself, “To be able to meet with so many experts, this trip was definitely fruitful.”

Ju Ying also sighed as he said, “On top of one would be another. Now I fully understand what they mean by it. There are so many experts in this world, it is so hard to truly stand at the peak.

Even he, who was a Qi Practitioner full of pride, couldn’t win all the time in his life. In one of the final battles, he was soundly defeated without being able to put up much of a fight against his opponent.

The grand competition was a huge let down to them, but one that could be twisted to their own advantage if they were able to concede defeat wholeheartedly and strive to do better in the future; otherwise, they would be reduced into one of the many commoners.

Defeat was also another way for Qi Practitioners to grow stronger.

On the other hand, however, Shi Yinji showed no signs of despondency. Instead, she was staring affectionately at Zhong Yue while gently lashing the whip in her hand as she thought, My father and the other Realm Monarchs are still here, it’s not the best time yet. Once we’ve returned to the ships, I’ll let him have a taste of my whip until he cries for mercy!

Zhong Yue raised his head as he praised Prince Bo Di, “How amazing.”

The cheering continued unabated. Heavenly King Shang also walked over with a smile, “How lucky, how fortunate! Our Wei Shen Six Paths World is not last anymore! My beloved juniors, I should let you know that we, from the last place, took a great leap to the 2,584th rank!”

But Yu Bochuan, Ju Ying and the others weren’t too excited about that news.

Heavenly King Shang could clearly see their disinterest but he didn’t mind it much. “This is a very huge achievement to the Wei Shen Six Paths World. Now I am confident that in the next competition, our Wei Shen Six Paths World will only be stronger than this!”

Hua Zhenchuan shook his head, he mumbled, “If only Brother Zhong were there with us…”

But Heavenly King Shang chose to turn a deaf ear to the words and proceeded with asking the crowd to pack up to leave. He said, “You are all great contributors. The Realm Monarch will heavily reward each and every one of you. As for Lord Yue, I suppose the Realm Monarch will also reward you greatly as well!”

Then, he conducted his psyche into Zhong Yue’s mind, “You’ve been played by Realm Monarch Bo Luo which stripped you off from taking part in the grand competition. Everyone, including the Realm Monarchs are very clear of his motive, but he is, after all, the strongest of all the Realm Monarchs. Realm Monarch Yunshan couldn’t have stood up against him alone, and so nothing can change the outcome. However, that being said, your sacrifice will be compensated handsomely.”

Zhong Yue only smiled, whatever reward that would be was not his concern anymore. He had already acquired more than he could ever ask for.

The [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art] imparted to him by Realm Monarch Bo Luo had helped him immensely.

When the crowd has finished packing, warships rose and sailed out from the Heaven Court. Even when the teleportation formation in the Heaven Court was now getting powered at all times, it was still impossible for all the 3,000 Six Paths World to leave in an instant. Thus, some of them took a detour for the other teleportation formations in the Bo Luo Six Paths World.

Heavenly King Shang led them and walked out of the gate, it was then Heavenly King Fu running over with a smile on his face, “People, how are you doing? Brother Shang, I am here to send you all off. Lord Yue, please do forgive me if I have ever offended you or if there is anything that you have been mistreated. Here, I have prepared a small present for you to clear off the misunderstandings between us. Lord Yue, please accept my gift and apology… Men! Bring my present over!”

Immediately, sounds of heavy breathing and deep growls could be heard. The crowd turned around and saw a golden carriage pulled by four albino rhinoceros coming into their vicinity. The rhinos were strong and sturdy, they all had three heads with shining horns and sized as large as their bodies.

Whereas the carriage was fully decorated with valuable gems and ornaments. Every single part of it was built from the precious materials and despite its superb appearance, it was at the same time also incredibly durable that it could be used as a war carriage.

Inside the carriage, one could vaguely see the silhouette of an alluring lady sitting quietly. Clearly, she was also part of the ‘present’.

Zhong Yue’s eyes brightened up and he smiled, “Excellent carriage!”

Heavenly King Shang also grew envious. Suddenly, he looked at the rhinos carefully and his face changed slightly, “Theses four albino rhinoceros, are they from the side family of the Bi Xie Celestial Race, the Bi Xie Celestial Rhino Race?”

Heavenly King Fu nodded in proud, “Yes, they are. It took me a significant amount of effort to get my hands on them. Then I carefully raised them by my side until they became legendary beasts.”

Heavenly King Shang mumbled, “How amusing. Brother Fu, you are really generous to give out legendary beasts like them as presents

Zhong Yue was puzzled, he asked, “Heavenly King, is there anything special about these four rhinos?”

“Of course!” Heavenly King Shang answered, “The Bi Xie Celestial Race’s horns can cast aside all evil elements. As long as one holds the Bi Xie Celestial Race’s divine horns, they can bring their mortal body into Hell! One must know, even gods couldn’t enter Hell with their mortal body, unless he carried a decree from the Realm Monarch. But even so, the mortal body would still be suppressed by Hell’s nature. The stronger you are, the greater the suppression that you will face! Thus, it made the Bi Xie Celestial Race’ divine horns an extremely precious treasure. But the Bi Xie Celestial Race was only slightly less revered than the sovereign races, who would dare to hunt for their horns?”

Right after, Heavenly King Fu whose heart was still aching said, “The Bi Xie Celestial Race’s side branch, the Bi Xie Celestial Rhino Race’s horns have similar functions. Four legendary rhinoceros are enough to emit an aura field strong enough to repel the suppression from Hell’s nature. With them, you will be able to move freely in Hell! If it wasn’t because it’s you, I wouldn’t have given up them at all.”

As he listened, Zhong Yue grew happy and he replied, “How can I accept such a great fortune from Heavenly King Fu? I must return a gift to you as well!”

He stepped forward, asked the lady in the carriage to come out and ‘gifted’ her back to Heavenly King Fu.

The lady was none other than Heavenly King Fu’s daughter, Shi Qi’er. When Zhong Yue asked her out from the carriage and returned her in the name of a gift, her watery eyes were immediately filled with shock.

Heavenly King Fu’s mouth agape with incredulity, he thought, How strange! This Lord Yue doesn’t like beauty but is fond of the rhinoceros instead. I pulled my face down and requested for him to accept my daughter as one of his wives, and even so, he still didn’t accept her!

Just when the crowd was going to board the ship, a voice came behind them loud and clear, “Lord Yue, please wait!”

They looked over and saw Prince Bo Di standing in the high sky, surrounded by a lively crowd of gods, “Lord Yue, your reputation precedes you. The strongest Qi Practitioner of the Wei Shen Six Paths World, also known as the Divine Saber and Evil God Zhong. It is a regret that you were barred from the grand competition and that we couldn’t meet in a battle.”

He walked over in the sky as if on land, “But although the grand competition has ended, you and I are both still here. I wonder if Evil God Zhong has any interest in proving yourself to see if you can defeat me and become the strongest Qi Practitioner of all 3,000 Six Paths World!”

In mid-air, the ships belonging to the many Six Paths Worlds halted. The gods and Qi Practitioners swarmed to the deck and looked over. As Bo Di’s voice was loud and clear without the slightest intention of hiding anything, they have heard everything in ears. Thus, stopping down to witness the battle between them.

Shi Yinji furtively said, “Shameless!”

Ju Ying, Yu Bochuan and the others were also infuriated. Ju Ying sneered frigidly, “Realm Monarch Bo Luo and his family, hehe, they want all the fame, all the benefits, and all the names! It is no secret that you’ve been taken off from the grand competition because of this Bo Di so that he could claim the number one position. Now that after having all the fame and benefits, he is here again challenging you, trying to defeat you to prove that you were never a threat to him in the first place!”

Yu Bochuan nodded, “That also allows Realm Monarch Bo Luo to wash off his name of intentionally disqualifying you for his son; while on the other hand, you will be humiliated twice after the defeat.”

Shi Yinji said coldly, “The Heaven Origin Reincarnation Realm contains many treasures and fortunes in it. Prince Bo Di’s power has been greatly boosted, he is no longer the him before the grand competition. Now that he is challenging you, he must have full confidence of winning! Realm Monarch Bo Luo and his family are literally worse scum than my father, no wonder he can be the strongest Realm Monarch!”

First, he framed Zhong Yue to disqualify him from the grand competition so that Prince Bo Di could triumph over all the other contestants. While in the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Realm during the grand competition, Bo Di’s power was greatly boosted. Then after the grand competition, Bo Di would challenge Zhong Yue and defeat him in front of the public.

By doing so, Realm Monarch Bo Luo and Prince Bo Di would restore their reputations!

“I accept your challenge,” Zhong Yue, still remaining the usual calmness, said.
