Chapter 921: Dao Assimilations

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

When Imperial Emperor Xian Tian told him the news, it also meant that Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was about to make his move against the Heaven Court!

The exact moment he advanced into a Heavenly Monarch would herald the beginning of the war!

Zhong Yue, however, felt that it was still not time yet; though the world was in chaos, the situation was still not extremely terrible yet, hence, he felt that Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was a little impatient in making his decision.

Now, the many lords waged war against each other but the war was only among themselves, not the 24 monarch races and the 7 sovereign races. These races were still extremely calm as only a few of them were involved in the war and even so, it was only to a certain extent.

The chaos in Zhong Yue’s mind was a situation where everyone was dragged into the battle, where the hidden powers of the many sovereign and monarch races were revealed and dispatched into the battle and Heavens were destroyed!

The ancient universe was to be involved in this great battle in order to create turbulence in the ancient universe, the six great celestial monarch races and six great demon monarch races were supposed to attack as well, resulting in a war where the innate celestial and demon gods fought ferociously with the usage of massive power.

The 3,000 Six Paths Worlds too, must not be excluded. They too were supposed to be dragged into the battle and the many gods were to fight for themselves. Such was the chaotic war Zhong Yue was waiting for!

That time was the best time to strike for the throne.

“Recently, I can constantly feel the Dao, heaven, and earth closely within my grasp. From time to time, my psyche would reach every corner in this world and link me with the Dao.”

Zhong Yue was stunned upon hearing this as what Imperial Emperor Xian Tian described signified that he was on the verge of stepping on the impossible level.

“I feel like I am being affected by the Dao, turning into the Dao itself. This might be a sign that I am about to become a Heavenly Monarch.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian smiled, “I am preparing to sever myself from the outside world to focus on my cultivation. This might last for a hundred years. Do you have any advice for me, Mister Yi?”

Zhong Yue thought for a moment and said, “That is the timing that the Heavenly Monarch is waiting for.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s body flinched and he nodded at Zhong Yue’s reply, “That’s what Zi Guang said too. He said that the Heavenly Monarch did not do anything because he was well aware of my power. If I went into a hundred years cultivation, the Heavenly Monarch would definitely spare no effort in trying to annihilate Xian Tian Palace. If Zi Guang and Mister Yi say so, then I can only assume that the Heavenly Monarch is definitely lying in wait.”

This was indeed, a very tough predicament he is facing. Obviously, there was a very intelligent strategist supporting Heavenly Monarch from behind, feeding him this plan to ignore everything but his biggest problem, the Xian Tian Palace, and wait for his foe to reveal his weakness.

Only through removing Xian Tian Palace would the Heavenly Monarch be able to suppress the chaos!

And Imperial Emperor Xian Tian had no choice but to expose his weakness.

“Who is the one helping Heavenly Monarch? Is that person Ghost Master?” asked Zhong Yue.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shook, “No. Ghost Master is a sly and cunning man. Zi Guang once said that Ghost Master is an expert in all sorts of considerably mysterious and dirty moves, a trickster undefeatable in his field but as every gods, he has his own weakness. Once he focuses too much on the details, he lacks the ability to clearly see the situation as a whole. Unlike Ghost Master, the one aiding Heavenly Monarch is using a direct and creative tactic. This is the reason why Zi Guang said he is a powerful opponent.”

“Even Your Majesty does not know who he is?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shook his head, “No. I’ve been planning for a long time and planted countless spies in the Heaven Court. But there had been no information about this strategist. Only a few can rival you and Zi Guang in terms of intelligence in this universe. While Zi Guang is good at?planning, Mister Yi excels in combat. But this time, I’m afraid you’ve all run into a formidable foe! But my cultivation can’t be delayed any further. Do you have any other ideas?”

Zhong Yue asked, “Can Your Majesty become a Heavenly Monarch with only a side of your body?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian hesitated, “Zi Guang also asked the same thing but things would become unbalanced quickly. If I become a Heavenly Monarch through the demon Dao, my celestial Dao will fall and vice versa. In the end, either way is good to me.”

Zhong Yue understood what Imperial Emperor Xian Tian meant right away.

Though he was a natural-born innate god, the demonic and celestial element had always been incompatible with one another, just like water and fire. No matter which of his true body reached the Heavenly Monarch level, his other body was bound to be suppressed by the one that first achieved the Heavenly Monarch stage, making it incredibly difficult for his other body to achieve the same level!

“If there is a gain, there will be a loss. You must be decisive, Your Majesty. I believe that you can find the best way in the end!”

With a sigh, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian left with a frustrated expression.

He’s going to ascend into a Heavenly Monarch already? That quick?

Zhong Yue lowered his head as he thought;?Chuo Long, who was an innate dragon god, had experienced the Fire and Earth Order Era and even so, he did not become a Heavenly Monarch. As for Li Yang and Wu Dulang, Wu Dulang was still in the Imperial Emperor level and if Li Yang was not ambushed and forced to be reborn, he was at most on the same level as Wu Dulang.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, on the other hand, was much younger than all of them but he was the first among them to have a glimpse of the Heavenly Monarch level. Were the innate gods really that powerful?

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was the rarest one among the innate gods, one with both celestial and demonic elements in him, which bestowed him talents beyond Li Yang, Wu Dulang and even Chuo Long’s. But then again, wasn’t this cultivation speed a little too scary?

Zhong Yue’s eyes blinked, and he smiled as he turned around towards Long Zhi, “Why didn’t you leave with Imperial Emperor Xian Tian?”

Long Zhi replied with a smile, “I’m here to invite you to meet with someone.”

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped but without showing any emotions, he asked, “A meeting? With who?”

Long Zhi replied him with a mysterious smile and Zhong Yue suddenly said, “No, I will not go. He is now everyone’s enemy and there is no place for him in this entire universe. If I went to meet him, I risk being seen by someone and they might see me as his ally. I assume that someone as puny as me should avoid seeing someone like him.”

Long Zhi replied, “Just as he said, he knew that you would turn down the invitation so he told me to give you this.”

She then carefully took out a sealed scroll that would self destruct when someone else forcefully tried to open the scroll.

Zhong Yue took over the scroll and as soon as his hands touched the scroll, the seal faded instantly and Long Zhi turned around right away before sealing her heads, Yuan Shen and psyche, as if to tell Zhong Yue that she didn’t want to know its contents.

Zhong Yue recollected his mind and when he opened the scroll, his expression changed. The scroll started burning into ashes before his eyes.

His expression changed numerous times in a second and he started walking back and forth on the deck as he remained silent.

Meanwhile, Long Zhi had unsealed herself and waited patiently at the side. After quite some time, Zhong Yue seemingly gave up and he said emotionlessly, “I will go meet him but there must be no word about this meeting and no one shall notice anything. Do you understand?”

Hearing this, Long Zhi let out a relieved breath and nodded with a smile, “Yes sir. This way please.”

A mirror was then taken out, placed standing on the deck and the lady blew towards the mirror, which caused the mirror to enlarge gradually.

“This way.”

Having said that, the lady Imperial Emperor walked into the mirror. Zhong Yue hesitated but followed her regardless; just as he entered, the mirror crumbled to dust and disappeared.

This teleportation technique is completely different from the ones we know!

In the mirror, Zhong Yue felt that the dimension was changing and flowing quickly; such an amazing application of the Space Dao even rivaled the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture].

The innate Deity Kings in the Dark Age were indeed impressive. It was difficult to determine which one was better, this method or the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture].

The innate Deity Kings’ Dao language was something almost impossible to learn for mortals. Even the likes of Zhong Yue only managed to scratch the surface.

On the other hand, the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] was relatively easier to cultivate. Apart from that, the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] was able to create and leave portals around, making warping much easier.

And that was the significance of the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture].

After quite some time, just as Zhong Yue felt that the dimension in the mirror stopped flowing, a gate just like a mirror appeared right in front of them. Long Zhi then walked towards the gate.

Zhong Yue then calmed his mind and followed suit.

After exiting the gate, he noticed that he was now standing on a star. But whether or not this star was the one in the Zi Wei Galaxy was something he did not know. However, when he looked up, he could still see the stars hanging in the skies above Zi Wei.

Unlike the others, this star was an extraordinary one; by standing on it, Zhong Yue could see the ancient universe entirely and when he looked towards Zi Wei, he realized that he could see almost all of the Zi Wei Galaxy.

Such good vision… This place should be a very strategic location, so why is it unoccupied?

Long Zhi, on the other hand, stopped moving and when Zhong Yue looked towards the front, he saw a majestic innate god standing at the front.

This innate god was extremely tall and muscular. This grandness wasn’t just limited to his physical presence; he was also extremely massive in Zhong Yue’s mind, as if he was the owner of the heaven and earth.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian spoke to Zhong Yue about turning and morphing into the Dao in the Heavenly Monarch level. But this innate god gave Zhong Yue a feeling he the ruler of Dao, the one that conquered all lives!

“Mortals are already guilty the moment they raised their head and looked into the skies.”

Great Si Ming did not turn his head. He remained gazing into the skies and with a thick voice, he spoke, “Because when they raised their heads, they are already trying to peek into the gods’ power and the secrets of heaven and earth. In their eyes is the eagerness to explore the unknown, the greed to master the power of the gods, heaven and earth. From that moment, they are to be punished with life, death, age and sickness, and eventually, death.”

Upon saying this, Great Si Ming turned around and focused his vision on Zhong Yue, “You, you have Great Sui’s bloodline, are you one of his descendants?”
