Chapter 919: Death-Seeking Heart
Zhong Yue awoke sometime later. He noticed that he was lying on a bed as soft as marshmallows, it should be Yin Fanxuan's private bedroom.
She had her own private bedroom in the King's Palace. Though husband and wife, the two had never once slept together and Zhong Yue had never entered her room so he knew nothing about how the bedroom was arranged. Now, however, it seemed like this woman also had a girlish, having decorated her bedroom in red and pink.
Zhong Yue, on the other hand, did not have his own room as he did not need one. Ever since becoming a Qi Practitioner, he has not been sleeping often since this was a part of Xin Huo's training. If he was tired, he would just visualize to recover. This slowly became a habit.
Sleeping became even more scarce after he ascended as a god. The only few times he had been sleeping was when he was with the girl Shi Yinji.
Thus, he figured that a bedroom was unnecessary since his time was completely occupied by cultivation, calculations and managing the affairs of the Heaven Suppression Fortress.
Zhong Yue struggled up, only to feel the pain coming from his limbs and Yuan Shen,
He heard a flute being played on the outside. The flute's melody echoed on the outside, sounding out across the entire fortress as Yin Fanxuan was most probably suppressing the many gods' Dao heart to prevent them from losing their minds to the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis' scent.
Zhong Yue sniffed and noticed that the scent was not as thick as before as it was going to be riped soon.
Hmm? Why are the Space Secret Realms in my body all closed up?
As he checked his condition, he noticed that the few hundred secret realms forcefully developed when he was escaping were now all closed up. It felt like they were merged by an unknown power by force.
Just when he was puzzled by his findings, the room's doors were slammed open and Yin Fanxuan charged right into the room, hurriedly checked Zhong Yue's body and Yuan Shen, scanned through them and asked him if he was okay caringly.
"I'm fine."
Replied a confused Zhong Yue, "Why are the secret realms in my body closed?"
"It was the Crown Prince. He said that you are reckless in opening the secret realms and you are gambling with your life."
Yin Fanxuan laughed, "He also said that the body and Yuan Shen's secret realms must not be opened recklessly. The six great secret realms are all connected closely and with them linked together, a great power will be bestowed to Qi Practitioners. Those secret realms you developed, however, were built without a proper base, hence, while they granted you the power you needed, they taxed you greatly at the same time. He also said that you are already impressive enough that you didn't die so he closed them up for you."
"And? Did he treat my injuries?" asked an excited Zhong Yue.
"No."
Yin Fanxuan shook and said, "After suppressing your secret realms, he threw you aside after told me that your conditions are not life-threatening anymore. But at that time, you were almost rotting to death already and when even I thought you wouldn't survive, he said that you would be back after taking some rest!"
Hearing this, Zhong Yue couldn't help but shake his head. Fu Shang's willingness to save him suggested that this man still had something good in him and that he was still not beyond saving. It was just that he was too overwhelmed by his past guilt.
Zhong Yue entered the Six Paths Bead and thanked Fu Shang, who was still ignoring Zhong Yue while putting up an emotionless expression.
But still, he's much better than before, perhaps he can even walk out from it , Zhong Yue thought.
In the lotus ocean, only two twin-flower Amaryllises remained and the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis was already ripe. The scene looked just like a baby was born from the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis.
The scent, however, did not manage to spread as it was absorbed by the baby, which was also why the abnormally alluring scent on the outside gradually faded away.
Such nice smell... I want to eat him....
Uncontrollably, Zhong Yue got closer to the baby and just as the alluring scent thickened, he suddenly shivered before he cast the [Ancient Time Unmoving Seal] to strengthen his mind.
The baby's bellybutton was connected to the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis, absorbing nutrients from the mother's body like an umbilical cord and beneath the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis were one after another lotus seeds. There were 99 of these crystal clear seeds and the nutrients supplied to Bi An were from these seeds.
This baby was one with both innate celestial dragon's bloodline and the White Tiger's bloodline. He was covered in dragon scales and had a tiger head but he was stronger than both because of the Hundredth Reincarnated Dao Fruit, which was the seeds.
One life for one fruit and this was his final life, condensed with the hundred lives' power, Bi An's achievements were beyond Zhong Yue's imagination.
Zhong Yue stared at the baby lying in the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis and thought, After Bi An's birth, he will become a spirit herb that can walk, run, sit and jump. He may not emit the alluring scent like now but he still wouldn't be able to escape detection from most experts. His life is destined to be a tough one.... Being his guardian is going to be really hard!
Zhong Yue then left the Six Paths Bead; though the secret realms he created within his body and Yuan Shen were all shut down by Fu Shang, he still benefited greatly from this experience as he had learned some of the wonders in the secret realms.
With these wonders, his understanding of this field and the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], he would definitely be able to combine these secret realms together!
Maybe, I can really open the seventh great secret realm and achieve the seventh wheel....
Zhong Yue's heart thumped quickly; though he was not as insane as Feng Xiaozhong, he too, had his own desire in his path of Dao. This time, when he threw himself into grave danger by forcefully opening hundreds of Space Secret Realms, he also had a glimpse of another possibility.
While Feng Chanyang saw a possibility that allowed him to complete the Six Paths Reincarnation within the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture], Zhong Yue saw another greater possibility; he now planned to merge the prehistoric Deity Kings' knowledge about the Space Dao into the current totem pattern cultivation system to create the seventh wheel!
Aside from that, there are the 30 Drawings of Heavenly Daos! Great Si Ming broke free, chanting the Dao language that allowed me to understand part of the wonders in the drawings, which bestowed me great chances even without understanding them entirely.
The benefits he gained rivalled the benefits of creating the seventh secret realm, if not exceeded them!
At this moment, he was still in the Heavenly Deity level and although he cultivated eight totem pattern Daos, reached the peak in his level and met all requirements to become the True Deity, he decided to wait.
The level of Deity was also called the State of Pure Yang, expertise in Pure Yang Yuan Shen, body, Daos and once all were cultivated, one was on the doorstep to becoming a Heavenly Deity.
Heavenly Deity level was also called the State of Six Paths. It entailed merging the Six Daos with their body, granting them the chance to enter the True Deity level.
And the True Deity level was also called the State of Reincarnation. Practitioners would have mastered their own Six Paths to form the Reincarnation system, creating the Six Paths Reincarnation.
The Deity Overlord was then called the State of Life and Death Trial. In this level, one would face a life-or-death tribulation.
After succeeding in passing the calamity, one was then fit to evolve into a Deity Emperor.
This stage was also called the Void State. It allowed one's soul to enter the Void World after death.
And the Creator level had no other name. Creators were able to create things from nothing, materializing Dao and creating Secular Worlds. They came from the same source as Deity Emperors' Void World.
Different Secular Worlds served different purposes, but being able to create a Secular World was a massive improvement as one would be granted unimaginable power.
As for Imperial Emperor, that was another tier above the Creators, it was called the State of Heavens as they were able to turn six great Secular Worlds into a Heaven.
For the Heavenly Monarch level, however, Zhong Yue knew little about it since it was still too far from him.
He might be a Heavenly Deity but he had learned a lot about the many different levels. For example, the Reincarnation level of the True Deity level, which Zhong Yue had achieved by forming his own Reincarnation system!
And he also had some knowledge on the wonders of Deity Overlords and Deity Emperors. The Creator level was also partially achieved by him as he grasped hold of the process of creating Heavens through the Stone Sentinel Maze.
Feng Xiaozhong once said that the existence of different levels was because of the limited knowledge in Daos, hence, if one was able to understand Daos and learn them directly, there would be no levels.
This gave Zhong Yue an epiphany; even if he was not as talented as Feng Xiaozhong, Zhong Yue was still able to research the many different levels beforehand.
And this made his future advancements into different levels much easier!
He shut himself in for his cultivation, research on the creation of the seventh secret realm, and the 30 Heavenly Daos. His injuries soon recovered without him knowing.
There was no war as of late.
The resurrection of Great Si Ming brought silence to the entire Zi Wei Galaxy and though there were countless minor conflicts between each clan and race, the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture remained unaffected.
Half a year later, after feeling himself being able to understand more about the seventh secret realm and space Daos, an excited Zhong Yue happily opened up the Space Secret Realms, connecting all the secret realms together to open the seventh wheel.
Yin Fanxuan, on the other hand, who remained in touch with Zhong Yue, knew exactly what the stubborn young man was thinking, hence, she was worried and she advised, "Darling, you should do this beside the crown prince. With that, even if you place yourself in danger again, you will still be saved by the crown prince."
Zhong Yue nodded to Yin Fanxuan's suggestion and the excited young man immediately charged into the Six Paths Bead. Without hesitation, once he stopped in front of Fu Shang, he opened up the secret realms in one go.
Seconds later, Yin Fanxuan received a message from Fu Shang to bring a certain unconscious someone away.
A few months later, a fully recovered Zhong Yue appeared in the Six Paths Bead again and Fu Shang notified Yin Fanxuan to drag the "corpse" away moments later.
Once, twice and thrice, Yin Fanxuan learned her lesson and each time she saw Zhong Yue running into the Six Paths Bead, she would follow behind him and waited to drag the "corpse" away.
"Your husband is the most suicidal person I've ever seen!"
The crown prince said, "You can drag him away now."
After numerous attempts, one day, Zhong Yue opened up the Space Secret Realms in one shot.
Fu Shang raised his hands and himself readied to close up the secret realms. Yin Fanxuan was preparing to him out again, but Zhong Yue did not faint as they thought he would. Instead, he finally managed to connect the secret realms together!
With the power of Six Paths, he forcibly opened the Space Secret Realms and managed to hold himself together!
Zhong Yue was struck with happiness. In the next second, he impacted his Space Dao. He planned to chain the entire Space Secret Realms with the Space Dao, merging them into one and converting them into the seventh secret realm.
Fu Shang was shocked upon seeing the projection of the Space Secret Realms behind Zhong Yue's head that took the form of the seventh wheel. However, the light wheel shattered quickly and he fell onto the ground with blood gushing out from the endless wounds on his body.
Fu Shang suppressed the wounds, closed up the secret realms with a flip of his palm and he said towards Yin Fanxuan, "Go now."
