Chapter 720: Second Bloodline Seal!

Now, as Helian Tianzheng searched everywhere for the prison hijacker, the entire Wei Shen Six Paths World was blanketed under an atmosphere of fear and unease, fearing that they would be taken in by Helian Tianzheng as a scapegoat. However, Helian Tianzheng was merely acting as if he was dwelling into this matter as hard as he can; though he searched everywhere, he simply caught a few insignificant individuals and hurled them into the prison as the remaining troops of King Geng and that was it.

But he still managed to dig up news about King Geng, who apparently fled to Tuo Shan Six Paths World, where the Realm Monarch there was hostile towards Realm Monarch Yunshan. The two were enemies and Realm Monarch Yunshan will not be able to reach his hands into Tuo Shan Six Paths World, which would make him harmless at the moment.

"Those hijackers have probably run into Tuo Shan Six Paths World along with King Geng."

As he reported back to Realm Monarch Yunshan, Helian Tianzheng said, "I've failed you once again, father. For that, I will accept my punishment without complaint."

On the other hand, Realm Monarch Yunshan said gently, "It's not you to blame, it is me. I never expect that Chang Geng still had men hidden in the dark. I will reward you greatly for the information you obtained."

The Realm Monarch then awarded him greatly and titled him as Heavenly King Zheng, giving him permission to build his courtyard within the Heaven Realm's Lesser Saint Heaven Realm. He also made Zhong Yue into Lord Yue as well as giving him permission to build his courtyard.

To be titled as Lord Yue when he was still so young and while he was still not a god, the news caught the world off guard and surprised them greatly. Now, all the huge factions knew that after his successful lightning tribulations attempt, the Realm Monarch Yunshan grew fond of this young human and that it is just a matter of time until this young man became a new star.

Zhong Yue, however, did not take it too seriously; he accepted all the gifts from the many factions and welcomed all the guests that came his way, triggering the jealousy of the many young individuals out there.

As a result, many of them recklessly charged into the Pure Yang Leize lightning tribulations, resulting in many casualties, with many of them dying before they could even enter the Pure Yang Leize.

It was only then that they finally understood why the Realm Monarch grew fond of Zhong Yue; many of them had already gotten themselves killed just by entering the upper air lightning tribulations, let alone the Pure Yang Leize, which required them to at least cultivate the Six Paths Reincarnation.

"49 levels in the Pure Yang Leize... he has the potential of a Creator," said an ancient elder of a celestial race said one of the youngsters from his race, "Thus, our Realm Monarch awarded him richly in order to gain his friendship before he became a Creator."

No doubt, as this was made known to the outside world, the entire Heaven Realm has shaken again.

Spurred on by Zhong Yue's accolades, Heaven Realm's Ju Ying and Shi Jinyi had charged all the way into the Pure Yang Leize respectively, reaching the forty-ninth level as well. But they took about two months to do it. After retreating from the Pure Yang Leize, they were both completely exhausted, a sight that was more than enough to elicit another wave of shock from others.

Shi Yinji, the daughter of Queen Shi, a member of the Shi Clan, the strongest celestial race within the Heaven Realm and with Creator-level arts and techniques, it was normal for her to be able to pull it off.

Ju Ying, on the other hand, came from the most ancient celestial race, Ju Fang Celestial Race that belonged to the side branch of one of the eight sovereign races, the Ti Ting Clan. His bloodline was extremely royal and saintly, being even higher than the Azure Dragon Celestial Race and Black Tortoise Celestial Race.

The heritage of the Ju Fang Celestial Race traced back to the ancient times and they even possessed even higher level techniques than just some Creator-level ones.

Thus, this made it extremely normal for him to be able to do it as well.

However, both of them used about two months of time to pull this off, and throughout the entire period, they stopped their advancement to treat their wounds whereas Zhong Yue merely used two hours.

Not long later, the award from Realm Monarch arrived; Ju Ying was titled Lord Qi Yue while Shi Yinji, who was the daughter of Realm Monarch and already a princess, did not receive anything.

...

Then, following after them was the Earth Realm's Hua Zhenchuan, King Xin Ling; Celestial Realm's Que Yunfei, Bi Shan; Wan Xiang Realm's Qian Zheng; Prison Realm's Yu Bochuan, and another few charged into the Pure Yang Leize respectively as the ten strongest Qi Practitioners in Wei Shen Six Path Worlds all started to cultivate and honed their skills through the lightning tribulations , which had never happened before.

But there were still some differences in how far they managed to travel within the Pure Yang Leize, which also showed their own respective talents, potential, and strength.

Among them, Yu Bochuan was the one with the best achievements; he managed to enter the 30th level whereas the others stopped at somewhere over 20th level while Que Yunfei and Qian Zheng only managed to get into the ten plus levels.

Hence, Zhong Yue, Ju Ying, and Shi Yinji were crowned as the three strongest Qi Practitioners within the Six Path World.

But they too had received rewards, however, instead of being given a title, they only received techniques, arts, and weapons while Yu Bochuan's identity as a sinner from the Prison Realm was exonerated by Realm Monarch.

Meanwhile, upon knowing this, Zhong Yue took the opportunity to reach out to the Realm Monarch and asked for his generosity to strip off the criminal identity of Li Tianxing, Jun Wudao, Bai Canghai, Shi Buyi and the others, a request that was rejected.

Upon being rejected, he reached back to the Realm Monarch again and this time, he used the excuse where as the Court Yue was newly built, he needed more manpower to work for him.

And this time, his request was approved and Zhong Yue immediately took his companions into Court Yue.

"Zhong Yue of humanity, Ju Ying of Ju Fang and Princess Shi, I wonder who is the strongest among them?"

This was the discussion among the many Qi Practitioners within Heaven Realm and they constantly dwelled on the topic, "If the traitor Chang Geng is still here, he might be able to compete with the trio but he fled to the outer realm already. What a shame, I wonder who is stronger."

....

Not long later, the date for the ranking battle among the three thousand Six Paths Worlds was set. It was decided that the battle would take place within Bo Luo Six Path World and after the Realm Monarchs from the respective worlds selected their candidate and filed their documents, everyone prepared to depart.

Bo Luo Six Paths World was the strongest Six Paths World and due to the extremely long distance, a teleportal was required to reach there, and even so, they would need at least half a year time, making it very crucial for them to depart beforehand.

Throughout this half a year, Zhong Yue did not leave Court Yue at all as he focused on extracting the innate celestial blood given to him by Goddess Shen Hou to refine his Fuxi bloodline.

Similar to Leize celestial blood, the Huaxu celestial blood was also the ancestor bloodline of Fuxi Celestial Race; back then, Zhong Yue drastically improved his bloodline through the few drops of Leize celestial blood from the Ancestral Dragon and the innate celestial bloodline Goddess Shen Hou gave to him was even purer, thus, the benefits he gained from this blood was beyond imagination!

But he had to be extremely careful while extracting this innate celestial blood for the power hidden inside was extremely powerful. If he was not careful enough, his bloodline would be devoured and become converted into the Hua Xu bloodline. Throughout the time, as his bloodline condensed from two and the half into three and the half, the second bloodline seal emerged as well.

The second bloodline seal was far more complicated than the first as the more Zhong Yue examined it, the more serious his expression became. Within the second seal were countless seals that were carved right into the bloodline. With his current level of [Dragon Shears], it was almost impossible for him to do anything.

Senior Martial Brother Feng Xiaozhong's skills are the best in dealing with such seals. However, if I manage to cultivate my [Dao Crusher] to the minutest detail, I might be able to try to decipher it myself.

He immediately put his thoughts into actions without hesitation; with Eighteen Emperors of Heavenly Cloud's guidance on how to cultivate the [Dao Crusher], Zhong Yue had some ideas in his mind and he immediately tried using the [Dao Crusher] to cut away the seals in his bloodline.

As compared to [Dragon Shears], his speed was much slower with the [Dao Crusher] and it would be extremely hard to remove all the second bloodline seals.

At this rate, I will be able to remove all the seals after the battle.

Zhong Yue was very confident and suddenly, he felt a sudden sense of unease as if something horrifying was waiting for him on his path.

Why am I feeling uneasy?

Zhong Yue frowned and as he continued to cut away the seals in his bloodline, the unease only intensified.

What is happening? This feeling only appears when I try to remove the seals.

He calmed himself down and stopped right away despite wanting to continue. Now, his Fuxi divine bones were basically fully activated and his body's power had increased even more. If he continued, he might awaken the innate draconic scales.

According to Xin Huo, the innate draconic scales possessed immense defensive capabilities that were as strong as the shield of the Black Tortoise Celestial Race!

And the greatest advantage of these scales was reflect everything including skills and arts. Furthermore, in combination with the Fuxi divine heart, the weaknesses within every opponent will be reflected clearly!

If he added his Yin Yang Lines and calculatory technique, he could basically become unstoppable in battle!

Thus, Zhong Yue really wanted to continue purifying his bloodline to awaken the innate draconic scales but the uneasy feeling just kept on clinging onto him and it intensified the more he continued. The shadow of death seemed to loom over him and he clearly felt that if he stubbornly continued, he would really get himself killed!

Could this be the doing of that sinister existence?

Then, he recalled the image where a sinister figure walked out of the head of Pan Gu Celestial a hundred thousand years ago when the first Six Path World was destroyed and he shivered.

When facing against that evil eye, he had been trapped for 700 years! In those 700 years, he was swallowed, chewed and eaten alive countless times by that evil presence!

He is waiting for me. That is definitely that thing a hundred thousand years ago! He is waiting for me to lift the second bloodline seal!

Zhong Yue recollected his thoughts and paced back soon but the sinister figure still terrorized him.

Feng Xiaozhong, who had achieved much more than him, had gone insane right away when he first saw this sinister figure. While Zhong Yue retained his sanity after seeing it, a shadow still managed to conquer a large portion in his mind, which made Zhong Yue fearful of the prospect of encountering it again.

Back then, Xin Huo managed to save him out from the shadow of the sinister figure, but this time, could Xin Huo do it again? Zhong Yue was not so sure anymore!

He then got up and walked out in dismay.

I will definitely face him again, but I am not prepared right now.

He inhaled and exhaled a long breath before he got out of his cultivation and the room; this was quite a big hit to him and the very first time the thought of retreating took over the upper hand in him.

On the other hand, throughout the time period, while Jun Wudao and the others resided in his Court Yue, Zhong Yue did not view them as his subordinates but instead, he viewed them as companions. They exchanged their uniques thoughts on their cultivations while Bi and An never showed up anymore after returning to Prison Realm.

The 17th prince, Helian Tianzheng, however, did not pay any more visits to avoid unnecessary troubles.

Suddenly, Hu Sanweng reported, "Master Zhong, there is a lady called Shi Yinji came looking for you."

"The daughter of Queen Shi Ji? Please bring her in."

Zhong Yue was puzzled, Queen Shi Ji is the wife of Realm Monarch Yunshan and Shi Yinji is their daughter, so why does she have her mother's surname?

Jun Wudao then said, "Shi Yinji and I are on good terms. She is the daughter of the Realm Monarch but because of the immense power of Shi Clan, Queen Shi Ji insisted that Shi Yinji followed her surname."

Zhong Yue's heart skipped a beat. To be able to make the Realm Monarch yield, the power of the Shi Clan was definitely terrifying!

"Wanjun, what are you and your little lover talking about?" Shi Yinji's laughter suddenly rang out.
