Chapter 389 - Secret Realms in The Mortal Body
Jun Sixie nearly kicked the brat away, but she had just said that she was the scion of the Northern Sea Remedy Valley and had attended on Zhong Yue’s injuries, it was not wise for her to ignore Bai Canghai now. She have no choice but to attend to him.
Bai Canghai’s face was filled with smiles while Jun Sixie mulled and then said, “Incurable.”
Bai Canghai’s face immediately turned pallid. Jun Sixie was after all, a magnate and the headmaster of Swords Gate. Even though she wasn’t a medical expert, she could still tell what was wrong with him as she checked his body. She informed him, “The Yin Meridian in you is strong, a few magnates would have been able to solve it for you when you were still at a young age. Adding in a Yang-elemented medicinal pellet, the Yin Meridian would have left you forever. However, too many years have passed and you again took up a Yin-element cultivation technique, worsening the situation and turning the Yin Meridian into an evil substance, we call it the Yin God. The Yin God is in your body, and the stronger you grow, the stronger it will be. For now, the Yin Meridian has evolved into the Pure Yin God, and only one who has the Pure Yang Qi can solve your problem. But … how many are there in this world who have cultivated the Pure Yang Qi? Your path is ending soon.”
Bai Canghai was dispirited. He asked, “When I was young, I was weak and had no one, how could I ever ask the magantes for help? But after I became stronger and entered the eyes of the higher-ups, the Yin Meridian has already become a Yin God, now even the magnates can’t help anymore.”
A thought flashed across Zhong Yue’s mind and he said, “Pure Yang Qi? I have it.”
Bai Canghai was overjoyed!. He dashed toward Zhong Yue and tears started to roll from his eyes. He said jubilantly, “I knew the heavens would not let me die just like that! The benevolent Mister Zhong, please save me from the Yin Meridian Yin God, I will do anything you desire!”
Zhong Yue shook Bai Canghai’s hand away from him and said smilingly, “No need for that, I have the Sun Innate Spirit Body and it is only luck that I can embrace the Pure Yang Qi.”
Jun Sixie then quickly conducted her voice to Zhong Yue, she said, “Junior Martial Brother Zhong, there is no such need to help him, he is not a human…”
However, Zhong Yue shook his head softly and replied, “Senior Martial Sister Jun, Bai Canghai is a living soul. The Bai Zhe Clan has always stayed neutral in their stance, they have never sided nor fought with any races. As an independant race that lives in their own world, they are not a threat to the Swords Gate. Moreover, saving his life is just an easy and simple task for me, it doesn’t cost me much energy.”
After he explained, Jun Sixie kept quiet.
Zhong Yue inspected Bai Canghai’s Yin God and locked his brows. Things weren’t as easy as he thought, the severity of the situation was beyond his expectation.
The Yin Meridian in Bai Canghai’s body have gathered a strong Pure Yin Qi inside his body. Adding in the Yin-element cultivation technique he used, Bai Canghai’s Pure Yin Qi had filled his entire body.
Not only that, but the Yin Meridian have evolved into a Yin God, coiling within in his heart chamber.
The Yin God took the form of a snake, curling around his heart and was slowly strangling Bai Canghai as he breathed. Its head covered the top of his heart as if it was going to swallow the organ.
It was not that strong, but it was definitely difficult to be dealt with as the Pure Yin Qi had become part of Bai Canghai’s body. Touching the Yin God and the Pure Yin Qi would be the same as touching Bai Canghai, a slight moment of inattention could remove his life at the same time as the Yin God.
“Senior Martial Brother Zhong, how is it?” Bai Canghai beseeched him anxiously.
Zhong Yue kept calm, thinking of how to get rid of the Yin God and not hurt Bai Canghai at the same time. Many solutions came to mind, but none would have leave Bai Canghai safe and unharmed.
The Yin Meridian is the Yin God, any external force will be repelled by the Yin God and it could crush his heart easily. Only Senior Martial Brother Bai’s own power will not be repelled by it.
Moments later, Zhong Yue had a solution and he said, “My solution is, I will give you a slight surge of the Pure Yang Qi. After you have control over it, I will teach you the【Sun Moon Prodigious Emanation Art】I’ve created. With the Pure Yang Qi as the sun and your Yin God as the moon, you can use the art and slowly get rid of the Pure Yin Qi in your body. That way, the Yin God will not repel it, and in the near future, you will be able to get rid of the Yin God already.”
Bai Canghai heaved a long breath, and said with a smile, “You’re wounded and there is a blood-curdling battle coming in your way. This Yin Meridian has troubled me for my whole life and it is not a hurry, I can still wait for a few more days until your battle with Long Yue is finished. At that time, I will come for your aid.”
Zhong Yue nodded and smiled back. “Alright then. I will return to Swords Gate after the duel, as the Fiery Capital is not a peaceful place to stay for long. Either will I go to the North Barren for you, or you can come to Swords Gate to look for me.”
His wound was indeed severe but was pressed down all this time., After all, the Ghost Sword that pierced into him was a Gui Shen magnate’s soul weapon. Even after Jun Sixie had pulled it out and attended to his wound, the injury was still there, destroying his body from within.
Bai Canghai nodded like a chicken while rubbing his hands. “I’ve been living in fear of death all my life and now, I can finally be at ease.”
------
Zhong Yue was wounded and was sent back to the Fiery Saint Palace to rest and heal while the other three ladies continued shopping for food in the Fiery Capital.
Soon after, the three of them had somewhat arrived before the Lesser Void World. They raised their heads and looked up, staring at the Lesser Void World entrance and the Martial Divine Master’s mortal body on Lord Xia’s hand.
The three of them walked up to the entrance. Chi Xue looked at the Martial Divine Master, mumbling, “Strange….”
Qiu Jin’er explained, “The Martial Divine Masters have a strong mortal body that can last for nearly eternity after they die. Even more, these mortal bodies are hermetically sealed by them to lock their spirits in, giving them the strongest spirits in the world. The Fiery Capital’s spirit, which is this Martial Divine Master, has a god-level mortal body and with his spirit in it, he would be strongest spirit of all.”
Chu Xie shook her head and said, “It’s not the mortal body I found strange, its that there seems to be some Qi Practitioners in his spirit, a notable amount of them! That is what felt strange to me.”
A thought flashed across Jun Sixie’s mind and she asked with a smile, “You said that there are many Qi Practitioners in this Martial Divine Master’s spirit?”
Chu Xue nodded, she confirmed, “Maybe the Zhong Li Celestial Race has the culture of cultivating in the Zhong Li Celestial Race’s secret realms? Sisters, why don’t we enter the Lesser Void World and test our limits? I want to see if I can enter the Legendary Board.”
Qiu Jin’er nodded, but Jun Sixie shook her head and declined the suggestion, saying with a smile, “Go ahead without me, I’ve some other matters to attend to.”
The two ladies walked into the entrance while Jun Sixie gazed at the Martial Divine Master’s spirit, rays flashing across her eyes.
------
In the Fiery Saint Palace, Zhong Yue was resting while waiting for Shui Zian’s news. He was nearly killed back there and a huge clamor was raised in the city, yet, Shui Zian never appeared. That clearly told him that the little old man was not in the Fiery Saint Palace but somewhere else, perhaps gone to search for the teleportation array formation?
If Shui Zian has not come out, then that means the teleportation portal will be in some secret realm, could it be the Lesser Void World?, Zhong Yue thought and then shook his head, saying to himself, “There must be some other secret realms in this Fiery Capital. I’d better recover from my injuries now, and put up a good show in a fight with myself before the world, so that no one will suspect the relationship between Long Yue and I.”
The Ghost Sword was incredibly deadly, its power bizarre, suppressing his Yuan Shen even before it pierced into his body. Right as the sword entered his body, the suppression on his Yuan Shen was a hundred times stronger and impaired his power!
Thankfully the Ghost Sword was not that strong, and his【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art 】 also repelled against the attack, orhis injuries would be way more severe.
If it was another magnate soul weapon, those that had the effect of blood-shedding or lightning element, he would have been dead for certain.
Even so, the blood in his body was infected, turning dark black, and even his Yuan Shen was infected by a cloud of dark air formed by the ghosts, infecting him in various negative ways.
Furthermore, the powers of the Ghost Sword were still in his body, stopping his Immortal Body from coming into play. It even stopped his wounds from healing, even after medicines were applied.
Zhong Yue had to visualize the Sui Sovereign for a long time before he could eradicate the effects, turning his blood back to a normal color, getting rid of the dark clouds, and clearing the ghosts inside him.
His Immortal Body then came in play, recovering his wounds at a great speed.
The Gui Shen Celestial Race has a unique way in the arts of assassination. They can hide in the dimensions due to their natural racial ability, something that no other races can do.
Zhong Yue praised in his heart and picked up the Ghost Sword. He looked carefully at the damage caused by the Golden Feathery Peng Sword, a long gash along the sword’s body that impaired its power. It was now even weaker than ordinary Heavenly Dharma soul weapons.
However, the totem patterns were still there, abstruse and profound.
Zhong Yue looked at them with his divine third eye and soon after, he projected his arcane energy out into the Ghost Sword.
Wong——
A soft sound came from the Ghost Sword. As he looked at the sword again, it disappeared!
“This is…”
He heart skipped a beat. The Ghost Sword had gone into another dimension and disappeared from the world!
It was just a few totem patterns he had understood and used from the sword. It was totally outside of his expectations that it would have such effects!
This sword, it can enter other dimensions!
Zhong Yue opened his hand and let go of the sword, moving it around with his psyche. To his shock, the Ghost Sword was still nowhere to be seen, completely undetectable!
The Gui Shen Celestial Race’s soul weapon is really bizarre, no wonder they are the masters of assassins!
He crew back his psyche and arcane energy, regripped the Ghost Sword in his hand and thought, If this sword can bring the owner along into the dimension, then it would be incredibly strong!
------
Unbeknownst to him, two days had passed and the day of Twin Yues’ battle had come. Shui Zian was still nowhere to be seen, while Qiu Jin’er and Chi Xue had returned from the Lesser Void World, though Chu Xie looked dispirited.
Zhong Yue asked why she was down. Qiu Jin’er put out her tongue and whispered to him, “Senior martial brother, Chi Xie is really strong. She has entered the Godlike Board and is listed at rank six, higher than Senior Martial Brother Feng Xiaozhong! But she said that she is still no match for her ancestor, and she was downcast because of that.”
“Sixth on the Godlike Board?”
Zhong Yue stiffened his heart and gazed at the dispirited young lady, thinking, She is good at hiding, I can’t tell that she is that strong at all! Empire of the Western Mother, is it really that strong?
The Fiery Capital was lively, countless Qi Practitioners filled the whole city. On the ground, in the buildings, on the top of the high-rises, and hovering in mid-air. Those higher-ups and nobles were sitting in the clouds or on various soul weapons in the sky, everyone waiting for the duel to start.
They were all here to witness the greatest battle of the two young and talented cultivators, to witness the birth of the strongest young expert!
------
On the Martial God Stage, Zhong Yue and Long Yue slowly walked up the stairs onto the platform.
------
Outside of the Lesser Void World entrance, in the secret realms of the Martial Divine Master’s mortal body, countless Qi Practitioners were moving around like busy bees in the Wan Xiang Secret Realm, building a great teleportation portal while Zhu Rong Clan Master Zhurong Yanqin oversaw their progress. A young human man with a white umbrella stood beside him.
It was Feng Wuji.
“Long Yue and Zhong Yue, the Twin Yue battle, what a great show this is,” Feng Wuji smiled and remarked softly.
To everyone’s surprise, the Zhu Rong Clan Master, Zhurong Yanqin, was not a brawny man but instead a beautiful woman and the wife of the Xia Clan clan master. Her pretty smile was incredibly alluring as she asked, “Young Brother Feng, what do you mean?”
