No Words Could Convince
He couldn't even understand the totem patterns, but what hit him the most was that he couldn't even figure out what they were!
All this while, Shi Buyi's proudest caliber was not his prowess, but his intellectual capacity and quick-witted thinkings; thus, him being unable to understand or even figure out what the totem patterns were had struck him harder than anything else.
In fact, with him cultivating the Pure Yang Yuan Shen and ascended as a monster god now, Zhong Yue couldn't have control him at will like before anymore. Especially the godly aura from the Pure Yang Yuan Shen was posing an overbearing pressure to the insect magnate parasitizing his Yuan Shen.
It now became incredibly hard for the insect magnate to parasite and manipulate his Yuan Shen.
This was the natural coercion from the higher beings. Even though Shi Buyi has just cultivated the Pure Yang Yuan Shen, he was still too overpowered for the insect magnate to handle. He don't even have to consciously do anything and the godly aura from his Yuan Shen would slowly kill the insect magnate away.
Whereas if he has actively worked for it, the insect magnate would die even faster!
However, Shi Buyi was worried that what would Zhong Yue think if he had killed the insect magnate.
After all, one whose head has been lowered for too long would come to find himself lost of courage; Shi Buyi has to first fight with the docility within him before he could rise against Zhong Yue again.
"Congratulations for ascending into deityhood, Monster God Shi Buyi." All of a sudden, the light wheels above Swords Gate Mountain faded away, and Zhong Yue walked toward him with a smile, "See, I wasn't fooling around, was I? The life and death experiences are the key to your ascension."
"I've sacrificed far too much for the deityhood, I have even failed my disciples just to be a monster god my own. But now, even though I have achieved the dream I always had in mind, I don't feel any happiness in me, instead, there appears to be a void in my heart." Shi Buyi was sincere as he spoke.
He sure was happy for a moment back then when he first broke through into the deityhood, and voicing out of his unwillingness to bow before Zhong Yue.
But, the Six Paths Reincarnations coming from Zhong Yue has shattered his dream of invincibility after becoming a monster god. His wild ambition was suppressed by the profundities of the Six Paths Reincarnations, and naturally, the joyness in him faded as well.
However, in truth, he was already a monster god while Zhong Yue was still just a True Spirit magnate. No matter how exceptional Zhong Yue could be, there was still a limit to the level of prowess he could unleash, he wouldn't be any stronger than Shi Buyi.
In fact, if the two have clashed, Shi Buyi would have a higher chance of winning!
Zhong Yue thought and said while smiling, "Lion, Long Yue will follow you back to the saint city, I have a task for you. I will be using the godly spirits for a ritual, and Long Yue will tell you how to proceed in preparing the altar for the ritual."
With a change of thought, a surge of blood essence gushed out from his body and it turned into his monster-dragon incarnation, Long Yue. The three divine weapons flew out from his Yuan Shen secret realms and fall behind Long Yue.
Long Yue now has about 5% of his prowess, and the gap between their prowess were even growing bigger, but even 5% was strong enough to make him a conspicuous True Spirit magnate.
This was exactly one of the many reasons why Zhong Yue was a terrifying opponent to stand against!
Shi Buyi startled, he nodded in tacitly and left with Long Yue.
While on their way back to the Xian Kong Saint City, Long Yue has taught him the totem patterns of the Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication, asking him to build an altar for the ritual. Shi Buyi grew more terrific as he listened, the totem patterns imparted to him by Long Yue was not much weaker than those of the Six Paths Reincarnations, he couldn't even understand them at all.
However, he did able to figure the nature of the altar formed from these totem patterns, if he wasn't wrong, the altar would be meant for a sacrificial ritual!
What is Master Zhong planning to do? A sacrificial ritual with the godly spirits? With kind of ritual would need the godly spirits as the offerings?
Fear swallowed a huge chunk of his heart as he thought, Whatever it is, the West Barren celestial race won't be able to let me off anymore after the battles in the Divine Battlefield. What is there to fear about anymore!
After that, Shi Buyi let go of the fear, and stopped thinking of what Zhong Yue was trying to do.
…
Meanwhile in Swords Gate, Zhong Yue surged another blood essence out and formed Mister Bo Xun, he said, "On your trip back to the demon race, go and pay the dragon race a visit, and talk to Lord Dragon."
Mister Bo Xun nodded and left like a flash of lightning.
Zhong Yue pondered deeply for seconds, he then stood up and walked out of the mountain.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhong, are you leaving again?" Jun Sixie was seen walking toward him, she was shocked as she saw him walking away, and asked quickly, "It's just months, and you are going out again? No, I won't let you do that, I order you to stay in Swords Gate Mountain for until I am satisfied. I've told that the two gods of the West Barren celestial race and the Asura demon god of the demon race are unhappy with you."
"When were they happy anyway?" Zhong Yue smiled, "Senior martial sister, don't worry. I'm not heading out in seek of troubles today, I just want to pay a visit to a few friends before I leave."
"Before you… leave?" Jun Sixie's heart palpitated in shock, she exclaimed, "Where? Why? Are you going to stay in the Kun Lun Realm, are you not coming back anymore?"
Zhong Yue shook his head and smiled, he continued striding forward while the beautiful lady walked closely beside him.
"Although I do need to go to the Kun Lun Realm to visit another friend, but it is not Kun Lun that I will be leaving to." Chi Xue's heroine figure suddenly appeared in his mind, but he has softly shook his head and gotten rid of his thoughts, "I am leaving the Ancestral Star for a wider, bigger place. I have many questions in mind, but the Ancestral Star has no answers for them. There is a sky of mysteries clouding my eyes, and I need to clear it out. I don't know when will I return, or whether if I can; but I do know that the day I return, we humans will recover our true prowess and rightful status!"
Immediately, Jun Sixie's heart was swallowed by a mix of many emotions, she startled for a long time before asking softly, "But after you've left, who will be here to overlook the humans? Who will be here to guard over the Great Wilderness?"
Zhong Yue shook his head, "Every generation has its own heroes. Furthermore, everything is on track for the human race now; in less than a hundred years, we will be able to see the ascension of the human gods. You, Senior Martial Brother Fang, little Xuan Yuan, Junior Martial Sister Jin'er, and the other juniors, oh, and also Grand Elder Shui Zian. After I leave, the human race will still grow stronger than ever."
Jun Sixie lowered her head and did not answer. A few moments later, she suddenly asked, "Junior martial brother, will we meet again?"
For the first time, Zhong Yue was perplexed, and abruptly laughed seconds later, "Senior martial sister, I am not leaving now, I will still be here for some time."
He gave an answer where her question was not answered.
Jun Sixie raised her head, she fixated her eyes at Zhong Yue while shouted out loudly, "Will we meet again?"
Zhong Yue's heart throbbed heavily, and he clenched on the clothes in front of his heart as though he was trying to stop it from thumping out from his chest, "I will come back if I survives!"
Jun Sixie watched as he left, turned smaller in her eyes and finally disappeared over the horizon.
"Will you return after you left? But how long will it be before we meet again…"
…
Gu Hongzi was the first he visited.
The two of them conversed for a long time, and after Zhong Yue told his intentions, rays flashed across Gu Hongzi's eyes while saying, "Shi Buyi is now a monster god, he is now obedient as a dog, but it won't be the same when you've left. You are the last thing that prevents him from conquering the Ancestral Star!"
"I will bring him along with me, but if he isn't willing to, don't I still have you?" Zhong Yue smiled.
Gu Hongzi laughed loudly, he nodded and said, "You really do know me well!"
After that, Zhong Yue stood up and left toward the North Barren to look for Bai Canghai and Bai Shuyue. The first thing he did was to thank Bai Canghai for the help, while the Bai Zhe Clan's strongest young cultivator's face turned pallid and shook his head violently, "Brother Zhong, don't do this, please! No one knows the Pure Yang Qi came from me, if the world knows about it, I will surely be killed!"
Whereas Bai Shuyue was smiling coquettishly from the side. Suddenly, she said, "Did Senior Martial Brother Zhong come just to thank us?"
Zhong Yue shook his head, his face turned solemn as he said, "The world is changing, something has locked the Solar System away from cultivating. It's effect is still faint and unperceivable, but it's happening. Another thousand years later, and you will find the skills weaker, and the cultivations harder. It is unstoppable, least, not even the gods can stop it. Which leads me here, to tell you that if the Bai Zhe Clan intend to survive, the Ancestral Star is unsuitable anymore. If you are willing to, I can bring you to the Kun Lun Realm instead."
Bai Canghai's face drastically changed, he hopped up from the ground and exclaimed, "This is an earth-shattering news, why didn't the gods tell us? I need to inform the clan master, now!"
"Canghai, slow down." Bai Shuyue stopped him, she turned to Zhong Yue and asked, "Senior Martial Brother Zhong, I am not doubting you, but perhaps, there is something more that brings you here, or I could be wrong? After all, if the cultivations are to be putted to an end, we the other races can still live a better life with our natural abilities, but that doesn't apply to the humans."
The more she said, the clearer her thoughts became, "You have done quite a few notable things lately, each of them could have quaked the Ancestral Star for a long period of time, yet, you've done them all in a row. What exactly are you trying to do? I heard that you have captured over 500 godly spirits in the battle of the Divine Battlefield. If you are there to show the strength of the human race and earn their respect, I don't see a need for you to capture them, unless…"
Suddenly, she stopped and the winter accustomed lady shivered in cold.
Zhong Yue nodded softly and praised in his heart, she was really incredible, and smart. Seeing that Bai Shuyue has guessed it all, he decided to be frank as well, "Yes, I am going to seal the godly power flowing in the races' bodies, be it the celestial, demon, monster or even insect race, they will all be turned no different than the humans. If you still take me as your friend, and that you still trust me, then listen to me and leave for the Kun Lun. Also, I hope you two can keep this a secret."
Bai Shuyue and Bai Canghai were greatly shocked and lost of word.
"This is the last thing I will do in the Ancestral Star, after that, I will leave for a bigger, and higher place." Zhong Yue stood up and waved them goodbye, "Which is also the last reason that brings me here—to say goodbye to you, my friends."
When Bai Canghai was still in shock, Bai Shuyue has came back to her senses and she quickly asked, "Are you going to the Kun Lun Realm as well?"
Zhong Yue shook his head, "Further."
"When are you coming back?" the young lady continued asking.
Once again, Zhong Yue was perplexed, he shook his head seconds later and left, "Consider the suggestion I've made to you, inform me once you have made your decision and I will send you all to Kun Lun."2
Bai Shuyue watched as he left while a mix of feelings repleted her heart. It was only then Bai Canghai was able to recollect his thoughts, he praised sincerely, "Brother Zhong is really ambitious, he wants to seal the bloodline power of all the other races, wait, doesn't that include the Bai Zhe Clan as well? Can't he spare us and just keep us in a secluded space?"
"No." Bai Shuyue regained her usual composure, she answered placidly, "If the others are all sealed with the Bai Zhe Clan the only one left, we will undoubtedly be the strongest in the Ancestral Star. Although the Bai Zhe Clan has no wild ambitions now, there is no guarantee that our descendants will be the same as us. And this is, something he will never allow."
Bai Canghai was dawned, he nodded softly. He couldn't have thought about it, but the intelligent Bai Shuyue could understand it in just seconds.
The young lady sighed, "We can't expose his plan now, the only thing we can use to convince the clansmen is the fact that this world is not fit for cultivation anymore. If the words about his plan are leaked, the Bai Zhe Clan will have to face with the wrath of a future god. However, I can already name a few of our clansmen who will oppose the migration to Kun Lun, many will not leave with us."
Bai Canghai's heart quivered as he asked, "They…"
"They will be sealed, along with the other races." Bai Shuyue said placidly, "He is not doing this as Zhong Yue, but the human Zhong Shan Clan member. And as the human Zhong Shan Clan member, he will never allow anyone else to be spared. A strong-willed man like him, will never be stopped by any words!"
