As the process was repeated a few times, Bi An was finally able to grasp a hold on the way to open the seventh secret realm. He was able to maintain stability between the seventh secret realm and Six Paths Reincarnation, greatly minimizing the risk of opening it.
With Bi An as a live example, the gods and Zhong Yue witnessed firsthand the process of opening the seventh secret realm. They all now understood the process better and their opening of the seventh secret realm would be much safer now.
However, there weren’t many races that had monarchs. Although there were many monarchs that survived from the ancient days, their appearances in the current era were scantly documented, they were hard to come by.
And if they really couldn’t find any monarchs to help them, the only way left for the gods was to emulate Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s and Queen Goddess’s path. Find a saint herb, open the secret realms in their bodies, and with a solid foundation of the seventh secret realm, wait for a chance to try to open the seventh secret realm on their own.
Heavenly Monarch Di Ming’s and Queen Goddess’s chance was Mu Xiantian. But just before succeeding, they were stopped by Zhong Yue. If even the two monarchs couldn’t have guaranteed their success, one could tell how much more difficult it would be for the gods. But it was still a feasible plan, it wasn’t impossible.
One could imagine that after the meeting of the future monarchs, there would be gods all over the universe searching for the saint herbs and faint traces of the ancient monarchs, with even more trying their luck in opening the seventh secret realm.
In the process, many would succeed and many more would die.
As only the best and most fortunate ones would survive the toughest conditions, those that weren’t strong enough or simply lacked the fortune would perish. But those that made it would surely leave a chapter of their own in the books of history!
As the General Assembly of Future Monarchs was coming to an end, the future monarchs slowly began to depart. All of a sudden, a voice said, “King Yi, Xuan Ji has been here throughout the whole Dao discussions and I suddenly have the urge to challenge King Yi to a bet, to see who is better.”
The gods heard him and traced the voice to an ordinarily looking young man standing beside Zhong Yue. Strangely enough, although Zhong Yue had always been the focus in the meeting, no one had noticed this young man suddenly appearing beside him!
Some couldn’t even recall seeing him before!
How strange!
Even Feng Xiaozhong frowned softly as he looked at the young man, wondering if he has noticed him before.
In his memory, he vaguely recalled Zhong Yue conversing with the young man, but now thinking back, it felt as if Zhong Yue was merely talking to himself. The young man’s image was blanked out in his mind!
“What an interesting life form!” Feng Xiaozhong’s eyes lit up like stars. He stared at Xuan Ji with interest and the latter felt the gaze. Xuan Ji looked back at Feng Xiaozhong, he felt enormously uncomfortable in his heart and was curious.
“Huh, it’s not a gaze!” Feng Xiaozhong’s eyes lit up even more, he murmured, “It’s an emulation to what a gaze would feel like! This being has no eyes! Or should I say, his true body is the eye itself! Strange, how strange! He is the eye, and the ears, and the hands, and the legs, there are no internal organs in him because he is the internal organs themselves! Every single corner of his body has the function of a complete body with full senses and perceptions. Ahhh, what an attractive species!”
Xuan Ji heard the murmurings and his scalp suddenly tingled. One must know, even when faced with the second Yuan Shen of Evil Monarch, Feng Tian, Yuan Ya, Dark Monarch, and Celestial Monarch, he was still calm.
But when the middle-aged man stared at him, his natural reaction was to feel anxious and alert!
“A species that had never been examined before, how beautiful…” Feng Xiaozhong fixated his eyes on Xuan Ji, he murmured to himself, “How beautiful, truly beautiful. Every single bit in him is the best creation of nature itself… Does he bleed? Are his secret realms and cultivation base the same as ours? I want him, I will have him…. I am still lacking a sample like him!”
Xuan Ji felt even more uneasy, he had never felt this before. The middle-aged man’s gaze grew even more peculiar. Ever since he became Heaven’s messenger, he had never ever felt what he was feeling now!
Zhong Yue looked at Xuan Ji, he smiled, “Brother Xuan Ji, what kind of challenge do you propose?”
Xuan Ji forced himself to suppress the uneasiness in him. A smile broke out on his ordinarily looking face. Of course, the ‘face’ was just what he wanted the gods to see, he didn’t have a face in reality.
“King Yi, I too know a thing or two about the seventh secret realm, you may not even know more than I do. My bet with you is the Seven Paths Reincarnation!”
Xuan Ji said but his voice sounded incredibly odd to the gods for every word they heard, they heard it differently.
When they heard his second word, they would forget the sound of what the first word sounded like. As such, when they finished listening to the sentence, they could only remember the meaning he conveyed but not how his voice sounded like!
Feng Xiaozhong grew even more excited, so excited that he was going crazy.
Zhong Yue also noticed it, his heart skipped a beat, Shit, Senior Martial Brother Feng is going into madness!
Ever since Feng Xiaozhong appeared in the eyes of the public, he was fine just like a slightly neurotic ordinary man. But that was just a cover to his true qualities!
In essence, he was still the zealous madman that had no rules and principles!
It was just that for the past hundred years, there wasn’t anything that had attracted his attention. But now, it seemed like he found one!
Xuan Ji’s unease grew heavier. His nerves fired, trying to alert him of an imminent danger. He had never felt this before, never once had he.
As Heaven’s messenger, he would not be moved even by the Deity Kings of the Dark Age. And yet, he was feeling uneasy before the mysterious middle-aged man!
A mysterious living being! He thought to himself.
Zhong Yue smiled, “Brother Xuan Ji, if you want my attainments in the Seven Paths Reincarnation, then what do you have in return for me if I win?”
Xuan Ji calmed himself, he smiled, “King Yi, I will not lose, I’ve never tasted defeat.”
It was all quiet as the gods remained silent.
They were all puzzled. King Yi has not only once cemented his name as the undefeatable legend among the gods and was also the first in the Board of Future Monarchs.
Whereas this odd young man who went by the name of Xuan Ji dared to challenge the renowned King Yi and claimed that he would not lose and has never been defeated before. Wasn’t he acting too arrogant?
Suddenly, Yangguang Yuan mumbled, “Their auras, they felt alike.”
The gods were startled, they took a close look and exclaimed in surprise. Indeed, Zhong Yue’s and the young man Xuan Ji’s auras felt very much similar!
It was the same kind of auras that felt deep and lofty and filled with mysterious abstrusities, similar to Zhong Yue’s Tian Pan’s imperceptible intelligence.
Usually, when two cultivators had a similar type of aura, it would mean only one thing — they both cultivated the same art!
“Since it’s a bet, of course, both sides will have to place a prize. You can’t just flip the page over by saying that you won’t lose.”
Zhong Yue smiled, “Brother Xuan Ji, what do you have that can convince me to enter the bet?”
Xuan Ji mulled, he cast out Tian Xuan Chariot but Zhong Yue shook with a smile, he rejected, “A treasure that I can forge myself, why should I accept it as a bet? Brother Xuan Ji, try something else.”
The gods were more convinced that they have both cultivated the same cultivation art. They thought, Mister Yi can also forge the divine chariot, no wonder their auras felt alike.
Xuan Ji mulled again, he suddenly conducted his voice to Zhong Yue and said, “I have all the Fuxi Clan’s 23 Earthly Sovereigns Heavenly Monarchs’ cultivation heritage.”
Zhong Yue’s aura abruptly spiked and divine light lit up in his eyes for a split second before he returned normal. He replied calmly, “Deal, I’ll take on the bet!”
Xuan Ji laughed, “King Yi sure is straightforward! You are in the Deity Overlord level and so, I will fight you also in the Deity Overlord level. How long do you need to prepare?”
Zhong Yue thought, he said, “Two months.”
Xuan Ji nodded, he sat down in the lotus position and said, “Then I will wait for two months.”
Yin Fanxuan frowned, he suddenly said, “Senior Martial Brother Xuan Ji, why don’t you use the Heavenly Deity Altar? It’s only a fair fight if you use the Heavenly Deity Altar to suppress your cultivation level, isn’t?”
The other gods nodded in agreement. Although Xuan Ji said he would fight Zhong Yue with only the Deity Overlord level’s power, he didn’t mention anything about the Heavenly Deity. Even if he could suppress his own cultivation level, there was no guarantee to it, what if he suddenly unleashed his true strength and killed Zhong Yue during the battle?
After all, it was the hardest thing to do to take precautions over one’s true intentions.
Xuan Ji looked at her and explained politely, “Goddess Xuan, little do you know, but the Heavenly Deity Altar will not be able to suppress my cultivation level. Not only can’t it suppress mine, it also can’t suppress yours.”
Yin Fanxuan was surprised, she looked at Zhong Yue and saw him nodding at her. Zhong Yue continued, “Although the Heavenly Deity Altar is exceptional, it can only suppress the Six Paths Reincarnation and not the Seven Paths Reincarnation. As long as the Seven Paths Reincarnation is cast, the Heavenly Deity Altar’s power will lose its suppression effect.”
Yin Fanxuan felt enlightened. Then, she conducted her psyche and asked, “Husband, why do you need two months?”
Zhong Yue replied in a serious manner, “I have a past body in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, I need him to return to me.”
Yin Fanxuan’s heart skipped a beat. Zhong Yue was already the strongest in the future monarchs, but even he didn’t have the confidence in defeating Xuan Ji at the same level. Instead, he was forced to recall his past body to better prepare himself for the duel!
It was the first time she ever saw Zhong Yue so grave. One must know, even when she defeated him, he still didn’t recall his past body. And now, he was summoning his past body back to him. It was clear that he viewed Xuan Ji as an opponent he would have to pull out all the stops!
“Two months, it’s not possible for your past body to make it, is it?” Yin Fanxuan asked puzzlingly.
“It’s possible!” Zhong Yue sat down in the lotus position, he closed his eyes and started cultivating. He replied, “Darling, rest assured. I have a helper in the lower worlds. As long as I can find her in two months’ time, she will be able to deliver my past body back to me in time!”
Yin Fanxuan was perplexed.
…
Meanwhile in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds, Gu Yue abruptly stood up. He left his comrades behind and bolted for the Dao Yin Six Paths World. A month’s time later, he entered the Dao Yin Six Paths World’s Heaven Court and met its Realm Monarch.
The current Dao Yin Realm Monarch was a nefarious criminal known as Demon King Shi. After the death of the late Dao Yin Realm Monarch, Demon King Shi seized the throne and his criminal followers have occupied the Heaven Court as the court officials.
“Demon King Shit, I need to meet with your Origin Lord.” Gu Yue entered the grandest palace in the Heaven Court and demanded straight up.
“Please hold.” Demon King Shi dare not defy the demand. He quickly cast out an altar and started a ritual.
Moments later, the dimensions were twisted and a lady with a human head and snake body slithered out from the twisted dimension. She asked, “Member of the Zhongshan Clan, you were never willing to see me. So what brings you here today?”
Gu Yue replied, “I’ve encountered Heaven’s messenger. With my Mister Yi’s body alone, I cannot win. I’m here to lend Six Paths Tian Lun’s power to teleport me to the Zi Wei Imperial Star.”
