Chapter 848: Lured Into Death's Doorstep
Consort Tian Si shook, "I cannot. He is no weaker than me and if I run any calculations on him, he will be able to sense it. Thus, I can only calculate on the people around him and deduce his situation from there. However, this is considerably less reliable and would take a lot more time."
Beside Feng Wuji, an old man was looking at Consort Tian Si with a smile, he said, "Is it because your cultivation is weak? If that's the case, I can lend you some power and temporarily raise you to the level of Creator. With the Creator's power, it'd be much easier to calculate, wouldn't it?"
Consort Tian Si replied placidly, "The only limit to the art of Karma is one's own intelligence, it has nothing to do with one's cultivation level, else, senior wouldn't be here looking for my help, would you?"
"Tian Si, mind your manners!" Feng Wuji frowned, "This is the senior from the State of Heavenly River, Senior Fu Baochu from the Fuxi Celestial Race, he has lived since the ancient days."
The old man Fu Baochu smiled, "I've been in hermit for far too long, so long that even time is running out on me, how can the outside world be possibly able to recognize me? Wuji, don't blame this little girl, she and I were of the same clan a hundred thousand years ago! It's truly rare to see talent with achievements like her at such a young age, it's truly amusing."
Consort Tian Si's heart sterned up immediately, Just who was this old man? What cultivation level was he in that allowed him to live a hundred thousand years back then until now?
Is he an Imperial Emperor? Mister Wuji's background must've been stronger than I thought for him to be acquainted with an old Imperial Emperor from the State of Heavenly River!
Feng Wuji said, "Tian Si, calculate Mister Yi's movements as soon as possible. Senior Baochu, Wuji apologizes for summoning senior for my little request."
Fu Baochu waved his hand, his face was flushed as he smiled, "I'm also starting to get a little bored of the hermit lives. Seeing the decree when you came to me, it was only then I realized you are Tu Yu's disciple. Tu Yu and I are old mates, we've fought back to back, side by side in the glorious days."
Feng Wuji was surprised and overjoyed, he quickly replied, "I see, so senior is friends with teacher. No wonder I felt very comfortable around senior."
"This time, I am also out here to meet with that Mister Yi you speak of. For a half-blood Fuxi to be able to takedown Qingyu, I can't help but raise my interest in him."
Rays flashed across Fu Baochu's eyes as he said, "Even though Imperial Emperor Qingyu was a junior, he has never been through the warring days, he was still one of the best among the young comers. After his reincarnation, his cultivation base and foundation had been forged to a level far stronger than before. There weren't any that I know in mind who can defeat him in the same cultivation level. This half-blood Fuxi, no matter who he is, I will find him and dig out every last secret in him. Oh yes, Wuji, you too have half of the Fuxi bloodline. The Fuxi in the outside world cannot lift the bloodline seals in them, but in the unworldly land here, I can help you do it."
Feng Wuji was overjoyed, he quickly bowed and thanked while Fu Baochu smiled, "Then, you can head for the Panhu Clan's State of Heavenly River to unseal your other half Panhu bloodline. With the two sovereign bloodlines flowing in your veins, I am sure you will be someone great in the future. This is also why your teacher values you most."
Feng Wuji was shocked, Two sovereign blood? I have two sovereign bloodlines in my body? No wonder my teacher favors me so much!
All of a sudden, there were human gods that swarmed toward them. They bowed at Consort Tian Si and reported their respective intelligence from the Xian Tian Palace. Then, Consort Tian Si took out the totem pillars and there were spies that contacted her as well.
The totem patterns numbered in the tens of thousands, the spies were reporting to her at the same time but Consort Tian Si was able to arrange and organize the intelligence delivered to her and adroitly incorporate the intelligence into her Karmic Web.
Fu Baochu was surprised, he laughed, "This little girl's collection of intelligence is really stunning."
Consort Tian Si returned a timid smile back to him, "The humans are the puniest of all races, we are disdained by every race and are often disregarded as weak and unthreatening. This, however, gives us the natural disguise for us to collect useful information. Furthermore, the master values me and has given me full power on the collection of intelligence. Not only will the Xian Tian Palace's movements be reported to me, but even intelligence of the other races will also flow back to me; not even the Heaven Court is an exception."
Fu Baochu praised, "You are a talent indeed. Are you married? If you aren't, I will give you a chance to be one of my mistresses."
Consort Tian Si's face changed slightly, but smiled, "Thank you senior, but I am already married."
"Shame, you've missed a great opportunity, but I won't want to take in a used lady." Fu Baochu replied insouciantly, "Run your calculations, find that brat as soon as possible."
Consort Tian Si nodded and ran the calculations. Every incident that has taken place in and out of the Xian Tian Palace were turned into the Karmic Lines. As she progressed with her calculations, the individuals related to the Xian Tian Palace were also turned into the Karmic Lines, except for Zhong Yue's and King Zi Guang's.
This was because these two individuals had also cultivated the art of Karma and their attainments in it were no weaker than her's; thus, she didn't dare to simply run any calculations on them.
The Karmic Lines represented the individuals of the Xian Tian Palace, they each have their own differences and when they were added into the Karmic Web, Consort Tian Si would be able to view the Karmic Web as a whole and derive the movements of the only two missing Karmic Lines—Zhong Yue's and King Zi Guang's.
Her incredible divinatory calculation technique and her above ordinary intelligence allowed her to run even the heavy calculations in ease.
After a long time, Consort Tian Si chortled, "Found him! Mister Wuji, senior, Mister Yi will leave the Xian Tian Palace soon."
"Where to?" Feng Wuji quickly asked.
"Unknown." Consort Tian Si shook, "I don't dare to run any calculations on him. However, as long as he leaves the Xian Tian Palace, master's eyes and ears are hidden in this universe will be able to find him easily, he won't be able to escape from us."
Feng Wuji was overjoyed, he laughed happily, "If so, Tian Si, you will have to follow us everywhere now."
Consort Tian Si nodded, "Two days later, there will be news on his whereabouts. As long as we know his location and the direction he is heading to, we will be able to know where his destination is."
Two days flashed by, the news did arrive on time. Zhong Yue has left the Xian Tian Palace and Consort Tian Si smiled, "He is heading for the Huaxu Clan."
Feng Wuji praised and admitted his inferiority in the art of Karma, he said, "Let's go!"
As Zhong Yue had left the Xian Tian Palace, he was moving toward a single direction and had already traveled a long distance. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and he reached his hand out, clawing a human god back in his hand.
"Why do you run when you see me?" Zhong Yue smiled, "One of Consort Tian Si's? Is she trying to set me up again?"
The human god was shuddering in fear while Zhong Yue waved his hand and let the human god off. He thought, Consort Tian Si, my art of Karma was inferior to yours back then, but the same cannot be said for now, keep on dreaming if you try to set me up this time.
Feng Wuji, Fu Baochu, and Kua Fumao were following Consort Tian Si as they rushed ahead of Zhong Yue to set up an ambush on his path. All of a sudden, Consort Tian Si's face changed drastically and she exclaimed in shock, "Shit! Mister Yi is trying to run his calculations on me! He probably knows where we are now!"
Feng Wuji quickly said, "Stop it!"
"It can't be stopped!"
Consort Tian Si gritted her teeth, "His art of Karma is stronger than mine now. How is it possible? How can he grow so strong in just a short while of time? Senior Fu, I need your help. I will run calculations on him and concoct a Karmic Line, he will surely come for it. Senior Fu, protect the Karmic Line while I compete with him!"
Fu Baochu smiled, "Do your best."
Consort Tian Si gave a stern yell, totem patterns flew out from her and she started concocting Zhong Yue's Karmic Line. The Karmic Line was seen shuddering in a violent manner almost instantly as it was formed, it was as if there was a strange force coming from the void trying to break it apart.
However, with Fu Baochu's abundant arcane energy helping Consort Tian Si, the Karmic Line was successfully suppressed and stopped shuddering anymore.
Consort Tian Si heaved a breath of relief, she inspected the Karmic Line and said, "He has changed his path, let's go!"
The crowd followed her and rushed into a beautiful sacred land. Consort Tian Si suddenly stopped and saw a crane winging by above them peacefully, she smiled, "He will surely has to pass through this place..."
Xiu—
An arrow flashed by their sides and enraged Kua Fumao. Kua Fumao flicked a finger and the divine arrow was shot back at a greater speed toward the shooter. The divine arrow bore a hole through the shooter's forehead and when Kua Fumao toward it, it was a young celestial with strange looks. There were five tails behind him and a horn on his forehead.
"Disciple of the Zheng Race? Why did he shoot at me?" Kua Fumao muttered curiously.
All of a sudden, clamors came from below them as the Zheng gods swarmed over with anger, they were shouting, "Young master is dead!"
"This Kuafu killed young master!"
Kua Fumao gave a cold sneer, "He shot me first, he deserved it!"
Whereas Consort Tian Si's face has changed drastically, she exclaimed in utter shock, "Young master? The Zheng Race's young master? The ancestor of the Zheng Race had a son at his later days, he loved him more than anything. By the looks of it, this young master of the Zheng Race is about to reach maturity and cultivate into a Deity now..."
Feng Wuji was stunned, he exclaimed, "Kua Fumao, he wasn't aiming for you, he is going for the white crane!"
Consort Tian Si was shocked, she quickly turned back and searched for the white crane but it was long gone.
Even if that white crane is a monster god, its speed can't possibly be that fast!Consort Tian Si's heart thumped vigorously, That's not a crane, that's Mister Yi!
In the sacred land, a violent burst of godly aura shot through the firmament and an old and hoarse voice could be heard mourning, "My son..."
The voice was old, but the power in it was strong still, it alone has shuddered Feng Wuji and Consort Tian Si into muffled a deep groan each and with blood trickling down the corner of their mouths.
Kua Fumao's eyes turned dull and blood streamed like a waterfall out from his mouth.
"My son... I want you all to die with him!" In the shaking sacred land, godly rays burst out into the sky as if there were a million suns rising up into the sky. The stalwart Zheng Race's Creators flew up with a mourning old Imperial Emperor in the center.
"Kill them!' The old Imperial Emperor shouted and the Heavens rose from the Zheng Race's sacred land. Their godly rays shone brightly on the ground while the experts lunged toward their targets.
"Senior martial brother!" All of a sudden, Fu Baochu clenched on Kua Fumao's neck and broke it, waved his hand and perished Kua Fumao's Yuan Shen, then he laughed, "Senior martial brother, the murderer is dead, your son's death is avenged, there is no need to fight anymore, is there?"
The old Imperial Emperor ignored and rushed forward, Fu Baochu frowned and gave a cold laugh, "Old brat, you dare ignore my goodwill..."
Krong—
Fu Baochu cast out the Fuxi True Form of high and great power, he defeated the Zheng Race's old ancestor in just a few moves, causing the latter to spurt out blood incessantly.
"Don't kill him!" Consort Tian Si shouted, "The Zheng Race is one of the Haoying's faction! The Haoying Clan is just nearby..."
Dong—
As she finished saying, the Zheng ancestor's head fell to the ground. Fu Baochu heard her and was stunned, his face changed drastically and shouted, "Shit! Run!"
He dashed forward, clenched Feng Wuji and Consort Tian Si in his hands and flashed out. But it was then that the skies cracked and an endless wave of Imperial Monarch's aura crashed down from the sky.
A monarch-level weapon had crushed the space barrier and descended upon Fu Baochu!
Fu Baochu quickly let them go and clashed head-on with the monarch weapon. WIth just a change of bout, Fu Baochu was heavily wounded, he grabbed the two again and continue flashing away while the Haoying Clan's monarch weapon waned slightly in power.
However, the second strike came soon enough and it was still immeasurably powerful enough to gravely wound Fu Baochu. And after the third strike, Fu Baochu's face turned pallid like snow.
Yet, as an experienced and battle-seasoned Imperial Emperor as well as a Fuxi, Fu Baochu's speed was still shockingly fast to bring them out from the monarch weapon's attack range.
Fu Baochu turned and looked back and saw the monarch weapon hovering still, it wasn't chasing after them. He heaved a breath and his aura has fallen to an incredibly weak state, "Thank goodness. What's with that white crane?"
Consort Tian Si didn't answer as she glanced around in terror.
Fu Baochu was shocked, he also looked around and saw the strange totem patterns flowing around them. They were monarch-level totem patterns. Fu Bauchu's voice quivered, "This is..."
"The Haoying Clan's Hill of Monarchs' Burial..." Consort Tian Si muttered as she looked at the ancient mausoleum, "We are in the Haoying Clan's mausoleum..."
She looked out and saw a white crane alighting on a branch of a towering tree, it was tidying up its feathers and suddenly, it turned into a celestial that sat on the branches. He looked at her and drew a line across the front of his neck.
"Mister Yi!" Consort Tian Si clenched her teeth and said.
