Chapter 762 - Strongest Innate Curse
Chapter 762: Strongest Innate Curse
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Zhong Yue and the others were promptly struck by a spree of bad luck; the dangers they encountered only continue to grow in severity as they got closer and closer to the Innate Curse Spirit Body.
Their heartbeats never slowed since their first encounter with the lightning zone; without the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, even someone like Heavenly King Lu would have been killed more than once by now!
“Some said that the Innate Elemental Spirit Body was the strongest innate spirit body and some said it’s the Sun and Moon Innate Spirit Body. But from the looks of this, I say that the Innate Curse Spirit Body is the strongest….” murmured Yi Wanjun with a pale face.
“Not quite.” replied Heavenly King Lu who also wore a pale face right now, “The Innate Curse Spirit Body may be the harbinger of apocalypse and disaster but they too, have their own natural enemy. The Innate Blessing Spirit Body is the Innate Curse Spirit Body’s arch nemesis. The very presence of an Innate Blessing Spirit Body can easily suppress the bad luck brought by Innate Curse Spirit Body. I heard that the only reason Realm Monarch Bo Luo became the first and strongest Realm Monarch was because he had one Innate Blessing Spirit Body under his command, who in turn bestowed him with luck and prosperity. This Blessing Innate Spirit Body of his is called Heavenly King Fu and it was him that allowed Realm Monarch Bo Luo to overcome every crisis and now, half way into the Imperial Emperor level.”
Zhong Yue’s mind went completely blank right away as soon as he thought of the strong yet plump fatty and he shouted, “Heavenly King Fu? He is an Innate Blessing Spirit Body!?”
“That’s right. It’s him.”
Heavenly King Lu said, “All he cares for are power and wealth. If you are poor and powerless, not only will he not help you, he might even push you even further to the bottom. But if you are rich and powerful, he will become good friends with you. The only reason why Realm Monarch Bo Luo could put up with his nonsense and even give him the title of Heavenly King is because that he is an Innate Blessing Spirit Body. The Innate Blessing Spirit Body and Innate Curse Spirit Body are like fire and water, neutralizing one another. Thus, none of them can be considered as the strongest innate spirit body.”
Demon Empress Bi Er laughed and added, “I heard that Heavenly King Fu was visited by bad luck; he was taken care of by Realm Monarch Bo Luo for bribery and he was banished into the Elemental Realm as the Plague God. Just what kind of bad luck he ran into that he couldn’t even protect himself.”
Heavenly King Lu was stunned and he assumed, “Perhaps he was met with a harbinger of bad luck that was stronger than his Innate Blessing Spirit Body.”
Zhong Yue was left speechless right away because this harbinger of bad luck they were talking about was him. Heavenly King Fu tried to patch things up with him, improve their relationship even further, thus, he gifted Zhong Yue the Bi Xie Rhino carriage but in the end, things went sideways for Zhong Yue and also for him.
“The strength of the Innate Curse Spirit Body wasn’t heaven-defying, but they are all individuals that were to be greatly feared. In the ancient days, the Curse Spirit Disaster God, the Million Venom Plague God, the Seven Slaughtering God, the Northern Dipper Death God were the four strongest gods to have in a war. If the opponents didn’t have the Blessing Spirit, Life Spirit, Wood Spirit, and Southern Dipper Spirit, the would lose terribly.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Upon listening to their explanation, Zhong Yue felt that whatever he learned from them was more than whatever he learned from the books for a whole ten years. He then said, “And I was wondering about the fruitful yet surprising encounters I ran into in Bo Luo Six Paths World. It never struck me that it was because of Heavenly King Fu until now. Since he had aided me greatly back then with his Blessing Innate Spirit Body, I guess we have to return one day to pull him out from rock bottom.”
The surprised Heavenly King Lu and the others exchanged a glance upon hearing this and Celestial Emperor Qian Han carefully asked, “My king, are you somehow friends with him?”
Zhong Yue laughed and replied, “The Bi Xie Rhino carriage was a present from him. He wanted to present his daughter instead of Bi Xie Rhino carriage to me at first but I feared that there was something fishy going on so I rejected his offer.”
So king is that harbinger of bad luck Heavenly King Fu ran into!
Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud were met with a moment of realization and they all thought at the same time, Heavenly King Fu tried to be as nice as he could to Master and this ended up offending Realm Monarch Bo Luo. He really is unlucky, running into Master Zhong with no reasons….
Yi Wanjun then asked curiously, “If the Innate Curse Spirit Body is not the strongest, then which one is?”
“I don’t know.”
Heavenly King Lu shook his head and said, “In the Fire Order Era, the Fire Innate Spirit Body was the strongest and in Earth Order Era, it was the Sun and Moon Innate Spirit Body. But now….”
He too, was unsure so he said, “With the Six Paths unified and the Reincarnation, the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body’s strength surged tremendously and so did the Innate Elemental Spirit Body. The Sun and Moon Innate Spirit Body, however….”
Heavenly King Lu took a quick glance at Zhong Yue and continued saying, “I initially thought that the Sun and Moon Innate Spirit Body could only compete with the Elemental Innate Spirit Body but I honestly have no idea now.”
With the Six Paths unified and the reappearance of Reincarnation, the innate spirit bodies deemed useless back in the ancient days started to shine brightly. With the ability of converting the energy element in their body, the once strongest Sun and Moon Spirit Body was beaten and it now possessed a lower ranking.
But this when Zhong Yue came in. As a Sun and Moon Innate Spirit Body, he punched right through the 81 levels Pure Yang Lei Zhe and changed the view of Heavenly King Lu on the Sun and Moon Innate Spirit Body. Now, Heavenly King Lu could no longer determine which was the strongest now.
As they spoke, things began to calm down gradually and the silence became slightly eerie. The worried Bai Canghai immediately asked, “Are we lost? Why has everything gone quiet?”
Heavenly King Lu shook his head and said, “We are definitely on the right path. Perhaps I was wrong. The Innate Curse Spirit Body might have already reached the level where she could control the curse and bad luck around her. She must have noticed our arrival so she starts to restrain the bad luck. How can there possibly be disasters around her if she plans to stay here for long?”
As he spoke, the darkness around them cleared and what appeared before them was a planet with a moon and a sun hanging quietly within the endless dark; the moon circled around the planet and the planet around the sun but all around this planet was just plain darkness.
This planet did not belong to any of the 3,000 Six Paths World out there, it was just like a lonely planet that exiled itself.
And somewhere extremely far away, they vaguely saw a Six Paths Realm that illuminated brightly but somehow, it was very far away.
“Why is this friend of yours staying in such a place?” asked the puzzled ones.
“She was exiled.”
Heavenly King Lu explained, “That Six Paths World is called Yong Ming Six Paths World. The Realm Monarch from Yong Ming Six Paths World had no choice but to have her move out from his Six Paths World for safety purposes. Hence, along with the planet she resided in, she was hurled into this place and has not to returned to Yong Ming Six Paths World.”
Bai Canghai was angered by this answer and he couldn’t help but shout angrily, “We did not choose to unleash such disasters! How could you all exile us?”
Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud on the other hand, all shook and they thought, You are saying this because you have yet to awaken your Curse Spirit. If you did, just see how many are still brave enough to get close to you.
“Why is she not valued by the Realm Monarch then?”
Asked a confused Zhong Yue, “If she is so strong, shouldn’t she supposed to be valued deeply?”
Heavenly King Lu lamented right away, “She was born in the wrong time. With the Heavenly Monarch in charge of Zi Wei Galaxy, the Realm Monarchs in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, the universe is now a calm place with no major wars, which rendered the Innate Curse Spirit Bodies useless. Not only that, but along with the Innate Curse Spirit Bodies, the Million Venom Spirit Body, the Seven Slaughtering Spirit Body, and the Northern Dipper Spirit Body all became extremely useless and they could at most only obtain a puny in the Heaven Courts.”
As they were talking, Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror flew closer and closer to the planet. Zhong Yue and the others got out from the mirror and when they looked at the planet, they noticed that this planet was covered with lush greens and colorful flowers; there were beautiful plants everywhere, birds flew freely around and exotic creators roamed around. Everything seemed so peaceful and alluring and this place was nothing like how Zhong Yue and the others imagined.
“She really can control her Curse Spirit already!”
Heavenly King Lu let out a relieved breath and he shouted, “Lady Fei Yan, do you think to remember this old man?”
“Brother Lu! Is that you?”
A lady’s voice came from the planet, filled with surprise and joy, “And here I was wondering who was the one that intruded my territory. Brother Lu, it has been a very long time since your last visit and I thought you’ve forgotten about me! You must have passed by the bad luck circle and I assume you are all well?”
Zhong Yue looked towards the direction where the voice came from and all he saw was that a lady dressed like an ordinary villager stood in a garden. This lady appeared to be harvesting flowers and right now, she was looking right at them.
And this was not how Zhong Yue imagined she would dress for it really is abnormal that a Celestial Emperor dressed like that.
This lady looked astonishingly innocent and unassuming, which was not even close to Zhong Yue’s imagination. Instead of looking like a ferocious woman, she looked more like a girl in the neighborhood who was always lively and cheered up.
“It’s just a bad luck circle, how can it possibly hurt us?”
Heavenly King Lu led everyone into the planet and he shouted, “Lady Fei Yan, when I visited you last time, you were just a Deity Overlord but look at you now! Congratulations on advancing into the level of Deity Emperor.”
The lady however, replied in a rather sad tone, “Staying alone is quite boring and it can be torturing. With nothing to do, all I can do is cultivate to pass time.”
With no one daring to come close, this lady resided here all alone. To kill her time, all she did was plant flowers and trees and she spent her remaining time in cultivation.
Zhong Yue and his companion then got to the garden where there was no road. They immediately flew slightly higher in the air to prevent from stampeding these alluring flowers and Heavenly King Lu shouted, “I came here with good news! You are not alone anymore!”
He called upon Bai Canghai and said while smiling, “I found another Curse Spirit Body, but he knows no way to cultivate it. Thus, I’ve brought him to you.”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan was shocked and overjoyed, she quickly looked at Bai Canghai and said happily, “He is really another Innate Curse Spirit Body! Big Brother Lu, thank you! From now on, I’m not alone anymore, I have an accompany!”
She took over Bai Canghai’s hands and dragged him to her side, happily examining the young Bai Zhe Clan member from head to toe.
Bai Canghai’s face blushed red like a tomato while Celestial Emperor Fei Yan said with a smile, “Look at him, what a shy boy! What are you embarrassed for? I am a celestial emperor, born countless years before you, I am your senior. Although I may look young, I am a few thousand years older than you.”
Only then, Bai Canghai eased his heart, he smiled and greeted, “Granny….”
Kacha—
A flash of lightning came out of nowhere and struck on Bai Canghai. His skins charred black and his seven apertures were smoking.
Zhong Yue and the others were shocked, they immediately distanced themselves away from Bai Canghai while Celestial Emperor Fei Yan said while smiling, “What did you call me?”
Bai Canghai spurt out a mouthful of smoke, he said softly, “Aunt…”
A dragon bird flew past the sky, shitting in mid-air and covered the pity child in its manure.
“Elder sister!” Bai Canghai crawled his way out of the mountainous manure and said, “Oh no, not elder sister. You are Little Sister Fei Yan. I know my mistake me now, forgive me please!”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan smiled ear to ear, she punched her nose and waved her hands, “Go and clean up yourself. You smell awful. Oh yes, the dragon bird’s dungs are incredibly corrosive. Big Brother Lu, they are?”
Heavenly King Lu and the others shuddered upon Bai Canghai’s horrible experience and when he heard Celestial Emperor Fei Yan asking, he quickly laughed and answered, “This is King Zhong, King Geng’s sworn brother. Bai Canghai is his friend, and this is the King’s woman.”
Yi Wanjun’s face blushed red, she shook her head and said, “Heavenly King, please don’t make any ridicule assumptions.”
Celestial Emperor Fei Yan looked at Zhong Yue curiously and seconds later, she exclaimed in utter shock, “You can suppress the Innate Curse Spirit Body?”
Zhong Yue shook his head, he smiled, “I can’t, I’ve been through some terrible experiences too due to Brother Bai’s Innate Curse Spirit Body.”
“No, no! It can’t be right!” Celestial Emperor Fei Yan shook her head as she scrutinized the young man from top to bottom, “Your bad luck has nothing to do with us as if there is any, you’d be long dead already! The secrets in you, the things hidden within, the Innate Curse Spirit Body can’t do much to harm you! Strange, strange, how strange. What exactly has bestowed you with so much luck, or to be precise, destiny?”
