570: Dog

Dog

City of Nature, I will return again!

Zhong Yue walked past the side of the burning divine gold mine away from the city, he thought, Patriarch Nature, the day I come back, will be the day I sacrifice your mortal body to the heaven and earth. I will turn this city into a grand celebration to the humans of Ancestral Star!

Jun Sixie and Fang Jiange has already returned in Swords Gate a month again. The two of them were able to increase their prowess greatly, even cultivating the state of extremity in the Heavenly Dharma level. They were now both in the level of Imminent Deity, standing just a step away from deityhood!

Especially Fang Jiange; his cultivation progress was faster and his attainments in the Imminent Deity level was stronger than Jun Sixie. Not only did he succeed in cultivating the state of extremity in the Heavenly Dharma level, he has also achieved the state of extremity in the Imminent Deity level!

This wasn't too surprising after all as Fang Jiange has no distractions in his cultivation path. Long before in the Heavenly Dharma level, he has already crafted a stunning sword of his own in. It was only natural for his overpowered soul weapon to ascend into the level of Extreme Dao Soul Weapon. Ever since then, he was now the strongest existence in the whole of Swords Gate.

On the other hand, Jun Sixie was the Swords Gate headmaster. It was impossible for her to pour in all of her efforts and focus in her own cultivation. All this years spent acting as the headmaster has creeped on her cultivation progress and made her lacking when compared to Fang Jiange.

The Heavenly Dharma's state of extremity was the Chaotic Origin True Spirit, while the state of extremity in the Imminent Deity level was known as the Extreme Dao Soul Weapon.

In over thousands of years in Swords Gate's history, there were only ten Extreme Dao Soul Weapons ever existed. They were collectively known as the Ten Malefic Weapons; one of which came from Shui Zian.

However, Swords Gate doesn't have much knowledge on the Imminent Deity's state of extremity, causing the Ten Malefic Weapons to be flawed and possesses great ramifications in wielding them.

But the same could not be said to Fang Jiange's Extreme Dao Soul Weapon. His state of extremity was flawless and complete, he was able to forge his divine sword in the best and most perfect conditions at all. As such, not only did his Extreme Dao Soul Weapon was stronger than the Ten Malefic Weapons, it was also harmless to wield at all.

The both of them were the innate spirit bodies, one cultivated around the Celestial Water Star and the other on the Celestial Gold Star. These two places were the best cultivation place to them and it was incredibly beneficial for them, more than any divine herbs could bring.

There was even a glimpse of hope they could awaken their innate True Spirit, bestowing them with even stronger attainments!

But it was truly difficult to awaken the innate True Spirit, they were still far from doing it. Even so, the benefits they have embraced from the cultivation trip was still unimaginable.

Meanwhile, Qiu Jin'er was still cultivating around the Celestial Wood Star. Zhong Yue told Shui Zian to not inform her as he wasn't sure if he could ever return alive.

Whereas, the Innate Moon God was still in Swords Gate, sitting quietly inside the little pavilion regardless of weather like a stone statue.

As soon as Fang Jiange and Jun Sixie have arrived back in Swords Gate, Shui Zian told them everything that happened including the moon god. Both tried to approach the moon god later but stepped back as soon as they saw the goddess.

"What a beauty… But did she said that Junior Martial Brother Zhong is not dead?", Jun Sixie mumbled.

The havoc in the insect race temple was known by the whole Ancestral Star now. The insect race suffered huge losses and there were even words of Xiao Mang grand ancestor's death. Although, some said that his spirit managed to survive and was hiding deep somewhere in this world.

Whatever outcome it was, however did the battle ended, it was impossible for Zhong Yue to still be alive.

But with more of the news coming in, Swords Gate was given hope again.

One of the rumors said an innate god has emerged within a pearl of moon core and killed Xiao Mang grand ancestor in just the swing of a hand.

Just imagine how strong the innate god was!

But being strong at the same time, the innate gods were rare as well. It was already a bolt out of the blue for the Ancestral Star to give birth to an innate god, it was impossible to have a second innate god anymore. Thus, this moon god that was sitting in Swords Gate now, would have been the same one who killed Xiao Mang grand ancestor!

And if she said Zhong Yue wasn't dead yet, then he might really still be alive!

Right now, Swords Gate was embracing its long-lost peace while the whole Ancestral Star was in turmoil. The death of the insect race gods and Xiao Mang grand ancestor has greatly shook the world, causing the factions that were planning to take advantage of Swords Gate to hide their claws away.

Months past, Feng Wuji has also arrived back from the Celestial Earth Star.

He was summoned by Xiao Mang grand ancestor's spirit to return immediately. The cultivation trip to Celestial Earth Star has benefited him greatly, he has cultivated to the Imminent Deity level as well.

When Feng Wuji returned, he rushed to the Xiao Mang supreme temple and saw the white-robed priests centering around Xiao Mang grand ancestor's statue.

Then, Feng Wuji saw Xiao Mang grand ancestor's spirit attaching himself on the godly statue. Feng Wuji startled.

Without the mortal body, even the god's spirit have to find a container to protect itself.; and the godly statue that was worshipped by his descendants was the best vessel to contain his spirit for now.

Which was why the mortals have always said that some of the temples have gods staying in the statues and that these gods would often appear and give their blessings.

But of course, the gods' spirits must be residing in the statues first before anything else; otherwise, the statues would always be just statues.

Furthermore, the godly spirits must be worshipped continually so that they don't disperse in the passage of time.

Feng Wuji quickly bowed and kowtowed to the godly statue, he said humbly, "Grand ancestor, what is the matter?"

Xiao Mang grand ancestor's spirit emerged from the godly spirit, he was looking stern and solemn but said nothing. One of the white-robed priest cleared his throat and said in an old and hoarse voice, "High priest, the grand ancestor has needs for you, he has summoned you for a great mission."

Feng Wuji bowed again and said, "If it wasn't for the grand ancestor, there will be no Feng Wuji. No matter what you desire, Wuji will do whatever to make it happen!"

The priests praised and one of them said while smiling, "High priest, you are really fealty! Your loyalty is really inspiring, no wonder the grand ancestor has chosen you as his successor! The grand ancestor has summoned you, he has a celebrated news for you!"

Another priest said solemnly, "It is a good news, also an utmost honor beyond obtainable!"

Feng Wuji hesitated, he has rushed back right after returning from the Celestial Wood Star, he was still oblivious of what happened, the destruction of Xiao Mang grand ancestor's mortal body and the emergence of an innate god. Thus, he was left puzzled and clueless when he listened to the priests' words.

An old priest laughed, "High priest, it is time for you to receive the greatest blessing of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. Grand ancestor's mortal body is no more but his spirit shan't linger like a lone soul in this world. Hence, grand ancestor has personally selected you as his second body! Quick, what are you waiting for? Thank the grand ancestor!"

Me as his second body?, Feng Wuji was shocked but quick enough to figured it out in just a few seconds, Xiao Mang grand ancestor is dead, he has summoned me to snatch my mortal body!

If the mortal body was taken away from him, his soul and spirit couldn't have live for long either!

Endless anger burnt in him, he knew he was plotted by the priests. The Xiao Mang priests knew about this but none of them had told him anything at all!

He traveled all the way from the Celestial Earth Star back to Ancestral Star, it took him months of time and now, he was told to die?

Although furious, Feng Wuji remained placid ostensibly. Instead, his face was slowly filled with happiness and joyful, he bowed and kowtowed again, "Wuji is flattered, I am so honored to have your trust, grand ancestor! I have heard of the West Barren Bi Xie who sacrificed himself to his ancestor, I have admired him a lot and wished for the same. But I never thought that I will one day be like him too, I thank the grand ancestor for fulfilling my dream! But I am worried that my body is too weak to contain the almighty grand ancestor's blessing!"

Xiao Mang grand ancestor was staring at him intently, looking closely at every changes on his face and expressions. Moments later, Xiao Mang grand ancestor sighed and said, "Your loyalty, I am gratified. Wuji, you stay; the others can leave now. Wuji, I will restructure your mortal body to the perfect condition before I give you my blessing. Don't worry, it will only take half a year's time, at the longest."

Feng Wuji kowtowed again and said humbly, "Wuji can't wait for it happen!"

Xiao Mang grand ancestor nodded softly, and the other white-robed priests have left, while they shut the temple doors tight.

The priests exchanged a look and heaved a deep breath of relief each.

"High priest? Huh, even more like a dog than us!"

…

Meanwhile, in the demon continent across the sea.

A young demon with handsome appearances stood beside Demon Queen, he suddenly jeered frigidly and said, "You really think I am dog you do anything you like? Swords Gate, humans, Xiao Mang grand ancestor, Xiao Mang Celestial Race, all these are just platforms I use for my own benefit. You want to possess me? What qualifications do you have!"

This handsome demon was undoubtedly Feng Wuji's demon incarnation. In the demon race, he has teamed up with Demon Queen and was known by the Demon Queen's subordinates as the strategy advisor.

He mumbled softly, "This is a good chance to snatch over his power instead. His power will save me over hundred years of hard work. I will be able to ascend into deityhood in just days! By that time, nothing can stop me from conquering the Ancestral Star anymore!"

He cast out a little altar on his hand and it enlarged into an altar in front of him. It was small still, being able to allow only one man to stand on it.

There was a little incense burner in the middle with half an incense stick on it. Feng Wuji lit it up and chanted softly. The smoke from the incense stick rose to the sky and seeped into the void, oddly disappearing from the middle.

Moments later, the space around the altar shuddered and the dimension above the altar cracked open like the eyelids opening.

Then, a huge eye appeared above the altar, a powerful voice reverberated the surrounding as it said, "Wuji, what's the matter waking me up? Have you been cultivating the [Skills of Diction] I taught you?"

"I have made some progress in it.", Feng Wuji knelt down and kowtowed while saying humbly, "But it is too profound, my progress is slow. Regretfully, I have awakened teacher today to tell you that I can no longer worship and follow your footsteps anymore. A life-threatening danger is falling upon me."

The strange eye was puzzled, it said, "Huh? What danger?"2

Feng Wuji kowtowed again, "Xiao Mang grand ancestor is dead, he wants my mortal body for his second life. He is a Deity Overlord, I can never be able to fight him off. Death is the only way…"

"Xiao Mang grand ancestor? Just a mere Deity Overlord, more so, he only has his spirit left.", the strange eye sneered coldly, "I am ordered to overwatch the waste star for over eighty thousand years, it is hard to come by with a disciple like you. He dare to kill you? Let him be, let him do whatever he wants; I really want to see who will be possessing who!"
