Chapter 480: Dao Seeker

Kun Lun Realm.

The fight for the Peaches of Immortality was finally settling down. Kua Fuding ate the ones he had. On the other hand, Peng Qianqiu's Peaches of Immortality gave rise to a series of bloody battles, resulting in a few gods being killed and the whereabouts of the Peaches of Immortality being unknown.

While the dusts have now settled, Tian Wu God was seen sitting in his godly palace. He looked at the Peaches of Immortality piling up in front of him. These were plundered by the Tian Wu young cultivator. And among the Peaches of Immortality, there were three ripe ones, each being able to increase one's longevity by 300 years.

Other than that, there were also a few unripe peaches that were able to provide a few dozen years of longevity, and two ordinary Peaches of Immortality that could increase a hundred years of lifespan each.

With the pile of Peaches of Immortality in front of him, he was able to increase his lifespan by 1,500 years!

When the Kun Lun gods were fighting their lives for a few unripe peaches and an ordinary one, Tian Wu God had a pile of them in front of him in his godly palace!

During the battle of gods in the space, he already reached out to the Tian Wu young cultivator and kept the eight Golden Hous safely in his Yuan Shen secret realms. Even after returning to Kun Lun, Tian Wu God still forbade the eight Golden Hous from showing themselves in case the other gods would come for his Peaches of Immortality.

Thus, he was able to enjoy the many Peaches of Immortality in his godly palace while the other gods were fighting for them out there.

"We only have a few unripe ones at first, the others are given to us by Senior Martial Brother Zhong." Tian Yi said.

Tian Wu God nodded his head lightly, he said, "I won't forget about him nor will I forget about you eight!"

The celestial god thought to himself, It's really unexpected, a simple bump into Zhong Yue would bring so many benefits!

"From today onward, you eight are not my mounts anymore, you are all now my disciples. But it's better for you all to maintain a low-profile from now on,otherwise, they will all come after us. Wait until after I have consumed the divine herbs, then you all may show yourselves again."

The eight Golden Hous nodded, they asked, "I wonder how Senior Martial Brother Zhong is doing now..."

Tian Wu God frowned at the question as well, he said, "If he is still alive, he will be back in Ancestral Star by now. Calm down, after some time when the situation has stablized, I will request for the golden tablet and send you eight to the Ancestral Star."

Immediately, the Golden Hous rolled and ran around the palace while shouting in excitement, "Ancestral Star! It must be fun there!"

Tian Wu God shook his head, he could feel his head aching in pain again as he thought, I sincerely hope they won't stir too much trouble in the Ancestral Star...

......

Ancestral Star, West Barren, snowy mountains.

The two Shen Jiu experts kept Peng Qianqiu's corpse and brought it back to the palace happily.

"We can enjoy for a longer time now!"

"That fella is strong, we just have to follow his trail, and we will be able to collect many bodies! That's when the real windfall comes in!"

"Senior Martial Brother Jiu Rangdeng is the best!"

...

......

Soon, Zhong Yue reached to the center of West Barren. He looked at the many mountain ridges like unmoving ocean waves. In between the mountains, the emperor's tomb underneath the ground had been burrowed through. A dark and endless hole extended all the way from the surface down to the deep tomb.

Outside of the emperor tomb, there were many celestial experts staying on guard at any movements of the emperor tomb.

Krong——

Suddenly, a loud noise came from the tomb. Then, godly rays burst 100,000 feet up into the sky, weaving into a sky of totem patterns.

Deity Overlord's totem patterns! Zhong Yue was surprised, he quickly took the Zhu Jian form while moving forward into the crowd.

Zhong Yue talked to the many celestial experts, slowly extracting the information he needed and he thought, Lord Xia, Lord Kun, Lord Dragon, Lord Demon and Xiao Mang grand ancestor have all entered the emperor tomb?

Zhong Yue was shocked when he head of the news. These existences were the lord-leveled gods, and they even had their own saint weapons. They entered the emperor tomb the same day that Zhong Yue left for the Kun Lun Realm, but they were still there even after Zhong Yue had returned!

This was surely shocking news for the Ancestral Star, and all sorts of rumors have started to rise. Some claimed that the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor was reviving and the Deity Overlords were there to protect him, while others said they were there to kill him instead.

There was also a rumor that said the Deity Overlords were already killed by Bi Xie Celestial Emperor and he was now siphoning their prowess like they were the divine herbs. There was even a rumor which stated the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor was in fact dead, and that the Deity Overlords had entered the tomb for the treasures in it.

However, all of this was just blind guesses. There wasn't any evidence that supported them at all. Thus, whatever was happening inside of the tomb now was still unknown to the experts outside.

Some of the experts tried to enter the tomb but were burned into ashes as soon as they reached the front of the entrance. There was also a few gods that entered the tomb as well, but none of them came back.

Other than that, there was suddenly an earthquake happening at the far north. In the Ancient Frozen Capital, the ice walls started to crumbled, and half of the capital was crushed as the Devil Soul Forbidden Land beneath it suddenly erupted. The devil souls flew out into the city, causing the deaths of many Bai Zhe clansmen.

Immediately, the Bai Zhe god stepped in and stopped the incident from worsening, while the Bai Zhe was busy taking care of the devil souls, a ray of bright light shot out from the underground. It flitted past the Bai Zhe god's side and disappeared away in the sky.

In sync with the earthquake on the north, the South Barren's Heavenly Saint Palace, East Barren's Xian Kong Saint City, and West Barren's Xiao Mang Celestial Race all seemed to experience the same earthquake and that flash of light.

The Devil Soul Forbidden Lands all erupted, and the devil souls were released into the wild. Although they were all handled quickly thereafter, these incidents still inflicted great damage to the saint places and caused the deaths of many disciples.

The three bright rays from the other three Devil Soul Forbidden Lands had gathered together with the same bright ray from the North Barren in the sky. The four bright rays then fell from the sky and entered the emperor tomb!

Immediately, the crowds were shocked. the silence was disturbed and they were agitated like boiling water.

Four rays from the forbidden lands? And they entered the emperor's tomb? Zhong Yue was startled, he immediately realized what they were, The other four saint spirits!

Zhong Yue's face turned solemn; these four saint spirits had matured, and in addition to the saint spirit Bi Xie brought away from Swords Gate's Devil Soul Forbidden Land, they totaled up to five saint spirits!

While in his own tomb, the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor nurtured the sixth and final saint spirit! With these six saint spirit merging together, is the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor coming back to life?, Zhong Yue thought, he was a little terrified. Xin Huo once said that the Bi Xie Celestial Race had nurtured the six saint spirits and planned to fuse them together into the strongest spirit!

With him reviving along with the strongest spirit, his achievements would be way higher than his last life!

A resurrected Bi Xie Celestial Emperor would never be a good thing to the Ancestral Star!

From the way he mercilessly killed all of his loyal courtiers and harvested their spirits to nurture his own, one could easily tell just how ruthless and fickle an individual he was!

The Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's revival would definitely bring more calamities to the already ravaged Ancestral Star!

I wonder if the Deity Overlords in the tomb can defeat Bi Xie Celestial Emperor..., Zhong Yue calmed himself down. The battle of gods was something he couldn't intervene in now. Unless he was as strong as the Western Mother Empress and or A'thoer Lord, he was unable to do anything about the Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's nefarious plan!

But I don't think Lord Kun, Lord Xia and the others would be able to defeat him ... They were his subordinates before, and they were weaker than him, let alone now! Zhong Yue shook his head. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a man slowly walking toward the emperor tomb.

Feng Xiaozhong? Why is here? Is he trying to intervene the battle? Feng Xiaozhong sensed Zhong Yue as soon as Zhong Yue looked at him. He turned around and smiled, then he walked over. The celestial experts recognized him as well as their faces have changed drastically. They quickly took out the totem pillars and notified their higher-ups.

Feng Xiaozhong was a demon among demons. His name in the West Barren evoked fear into the celestial experts. Back in the days when he was still active in the cultivation world, Feng Xiaozhong annihilated many temples and races, all for the purpose of his research.

His sudden appearance in the West Barren had caused the celestial experts' nerves to tense up.

"Why is senior martial brother here?" Zhong Yue greeted Feng Xiaozhong and asked. He cautiously looked at him as his heart gripped with stress.

Feng Xiaozhong's aura was nearly imperceptible, but it vaguely carried a hint of divinity!

"To welcome my research material, Shi Tuo, with the celestial emperor's tomb." Feng Xiaozhong was straightforward, he didn't even care about the celestial experts around. He said, "Lord Demon's spirit has came out from his tomb and I took the liberty to give myself a tour around it. Strong indeed, but still too weak if the target is Shi Tuo. If Lord Demon comes to the emperor tomb himself, then this tomb must be really strong."

Zhong Yue nodded, he said, "I heard that only the Deity Overlord gods can enter the Void World. If Shi Tuo is stronger than Lord Demon, the demon tomb is not strong enough to trap him. However, the emperor tomb is very dangerous as well, even the gods will die in there. Do you have confidence you can survive?"

"Certainly," Feng Xiaozhong smiled, he had a unique air of his own that was incredibly charming as he said, "Lord Xia, Lord Kun and the others have entered the tomb for a long time already now. But there are still residual totem patterns surging out, it tells me that they are still not dead that. This also means that Bi Xie Celestial Emperor set up a trap and has entangled them in it now. But, given that the battle was still ongoing, it means that even Bi Xie Celestial Emperor doesn't necessarily have the advantage as well.

"While this is the time I will go in. The Demon God Contracted Puppet will summon Shi Tuo down right in the tomb and his arrival will be like a cup of cold water pouring into a wok of boiling oil. Bi Xie Celestial Emperor and Shi Tuo will fit for sure while I can wait on the side to reap my prize at the end of it."

Zhong Yue shook his head in disagreement, although Feng Xiaozhong's plan made sense, a battle of gods was still too dangerous a thing to interrupt. The risk of dying was far too great!

"Furthermore, my greatest source of confidence is Swords Gate." Feng Xiaozhong smiled as he said.

"Swords Gate?" Zhong Yue was startled as he asked.

"It's the sword in Swords Gate Mountain. If the sword is there piercing into Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's heart, then it means that the sword owner knows of Bi Xie Celestial Emperor's plan as well and doesn't want it to happen." Feng Xiaozhong said placidly, "That sword is a killing blow to Bi Xie Celestial Emperor. The time when he revives is the time that the sword kills him. Thus, it'll very difficult for him to revive. But before his death, he can help me in taking down Shi Tuo, then he can die in peace later on and I can have my research material well-prepared for me to claim as well."

Zhong Yue was stunned, "But have you ever thought about if things doesn't go as planned? Against such powerful existences, you can be killed in just the snap of a finger!"

"What is death when I can have a look at the Dao of this world," Feng Xiaozhong's face was placid and he glanced at Zhong Yue. Instantly, Feng Xiaozhong's eyes brightened up and he praised, "You are good, really good. I didn't expect you to have cultivated to such a level in just a short while! How I wish I can exchange Shi Tuo to you..."

He shook his head and strode toward the emperor tomb. Zhong Yue watched as Feng Xiaozhong disappeared in the tomb entrance and thought, What is death in the face of the Dao ... The Crazy Demon Feng Xiaozhong, maybe only he can be considered a true Dao Seeker ... To him, there is no good or bad, evil or justice. There is nothing else in this world other than the Dao!
