Mo Yin softly pulled his hand out from her grasp, he comforted, “Mother, don’t worry, it’s just an old friend of mine, not an enemy.”
Then, he leaped and landed on the thousand-winged ancient ship, sitting down in front of Zhong Yue. He looked around and saw no one around them, Zhong Yue was all alone without any experts protecting him.
“Mister, I salute your courage to come and stop me on your own.” Mo Yin picked up the wine bottle on the table and filled the cup in front of him, he said while smiling, “Mister Yi, are you here to kill me?”
Zhong Yue shook, he said, “I never had the blood of any humans on my hands before, they are still clean as of now. I am here to send you off.”
Mo Yin drank the wine, he turned around, looked at Heaven Court and said in a broad and peaceful manner, “It’s a great empire, but I’ve lost it, defeated by you. ‘Intelligence is inferior to strength.’, you said. Huh. But you didn’t defeat me with strength, you defeated me with your intelligence. It is my intelligence that is inferior to yours. Defeated, I am… You found me, does that mean you have the Almanac of Karma? You’ve calculated my Karmic Line and therefore, found out my location.”
Zhong Yue shook, he replied while smiling, “Not only have I calculated your Karmic Lines, I’ve also calculated the Karmic Lines of every commander and general in your armies. All of their actions are clear as crystal before me. However, I don’t have the Almanac of Karma, it is my own Karmic art I used to calculate the Karmic Lines.”
Mo Yin was surprised, then he sighed, “No wonder I am no match to you. You should see Consort Tian Si, she has the incomplete Almanac of Karma. It didn’t just contain the calculation art of Karma, but things even more miraculous than that.”
“Don’t leave. Follow me.” Zhong Yue suddenly said.
Mo Yin was startled, he exclaimed in shock, “You want me to follow you? Do you still remember how many times I nearly got you killed?”
Zhong Yue nodded, he laughed, “Which is why I appreciate your talent so much. It’s not easy to bring me close to death; why should I appreciate someone who can’t even do that and was killed by me in the first encounter? Follow me, serve me. We are both humans, we are supposed to help and care for each other.”
Mo Yin kept mum before he sighed deeply, “If the lord you serve wasn’t Mu Xiantian, you’d be my first choice. But as long as you serve him, I will not give you my loyalty. Mister Yi, you are the one who gave me the most bitter defeat in my entire life, but you are also the one who I salute most. You are too late, I’ve already promised Senior Martial Brother Yun Juanshu to serve him and continue to be your opponent.”
As he said, he was staring extremely close to Zhong Yue’s face. When he saw Zhong Yue’s daze at hearing Yun Juanshu’s name, his heart suddenly thumped heavily.
“Since Yun Juanshu has gained your loyalty, I will not hold you back any longer.” Zhong Yue raised his cup and wished, “All the best in your future.”
Mo Yin quickly stood up in a fluster, hitting his foot on the table legs and nearly tripping over himself. He panically raised his cup and the two had a toast. Then, he staggered out of the thousand-winged ancient ship with his injured foot back to the skiff. He turned back to look and saw Zhong Yue leaving with the thousand-winged ancient ship.
Fuxi, he really is a Fuxi…
Mo Yin’s mind turned blank while his family members were bewildered to see the world-renowned Mister Mo suddenly tearing and sobbing while saying, “Mother, all my life, I’ve been living like a boat drifting in the boundless ocean. But now… now, my heart has found the island I’ve been seeking, it was found and set in peace.”
His blind mother couldn’t see anything but she could feel, she said in her old and quivering voice, “I too, felt the sudden peace in you. Your heart is calmed. I have nothing to worry about you anymore even if I die now.
…
The battle of the two monarchs was near, countless experts have gathered beside the Heavenly River, waiting to witness the monarchs’ battle. They were nonstop discussing it all day long, has Heavenly Monarch Di Ming opened the seventh secret realm and would Mu Xiantian be able to defeat Heavenly Monarch Di Ming?
In the Heaven Breaching Fortress, Zhong Yue took out the Wall Painting Flower, the saint herb that was born with Yuan Ya Deity King. He was busy warring and conquering lands before this and only now did he have the time to study the Innate Mountain Dao.
His initial plan was to attain the core essence of unchanging of the Innate Mountain Dao from Yuan Ya Deity King’s disciples. However, as Yuan Ya Deity King didn’t teach his disciples the true quintessence of his cultivation, it was incredibly difficult for him to attain it from them.
Most of Yuan Ya Deity King’s disciples’ souls were contained in his Six Paths Reincarnation, it wasn’t an issue for him to extract their memories. But attaining the Innate Mountain Dao from their memories was way too difficult. After working on it over half a year’s time, Zhong Yue’s attainments were still close to none.
The Wall Painting Flower is the symbiotic saint herb that was born together with Yuan Ya Deity King. As Yuan Ya Deity King is the spirit of the Innate Mountain Dao, he has inherently mastered the Innate Mountain Dao. Which also means that his associate saint herb will also contain a thing or two about the Innate Mountain Dao in it.
Zhong Yue inspected the saint herb thoroughly. It was an amazing flower that had limitless changes in appearance. At a second, the blooming flower looked like starry skies filled with bright stars; in the next second, it turned into the images of a court of beauties that looked real and lively.
Then, suddenly the scenes of mountainous land with meandering rivers; or a world of divine palaces; or a flock of Golden Crows burning in flames.
Zhong Yue tried to study the flower but gleaned nothing from it. He murmured, “Or it’s meant to be eaten? Like, eating it will gift me the Innate Mountain Dao?”
Shua—
The petals of the blooming Wall Painting Flower suddenly closed and turned into a flower bud. Its roots suddenly waved as it attempted an escape. Clearly, it could understand his words and Zhong Yue quickly cast out the Create Evolve Mystical Gate to suppress it.
Then, he forcibly opened the petals of the flower bud while flower roots shove into his body through his pores and nostrils. But Zhong Yue was unflinched, he pulled the roots out and gnawed on the thickest root.
The Wall Painting Flower shuddered heavily and pretended to be dead.
“Xin Huo, you sure this saint herb is actually effective?” Zhong Yue was puzzled. He didn’t feel anything different after taking a few bites on the saint herb’s roots.
Xin Huo was scratching his head when he answered, “I don’t know either. I’ve only seen this saint herb once when Yuan Ya Deity King took it out during the previous chaotic era… Don’t eat anymore, some saint herbs are not meant to be consumed!”
Zhong Yue blushed in embarrassment and let go of the Wall Painting Flower’s roots. Xin Huo was right, some saint herbs were not supposed to be eaten. For example, the Nine Lives Black Wok Mushroom that was used to replace his deaths, and the saint herbs that were used to attain Daos. One only had to sit beside the saint herb to enjoy its effect of enlarging the cultivator’s affinity for the Daos.
If consuming the Wall Painting Flower has no effect, then there must be some other way to use it. As the saint herb that was born symbiotically together with Yuan Ya Deity King’s birth, it must have its own uniqueness!
Zhong Yue raised a finger and poked on the flower bud. Then, images of countless gods appeared on the surface of the flower petals. The gods were all pointing their fingers at Zhong Yue in disdain.
“What an interesting flower. If it could speak, it’d definitely scold me until dog blood is all over my head1.” Zhong Yue laughed as he said.
But right in the next second, his laughter stopped as he saw the image of himself appearing on the flower petals. In the image, a dog was above him spurting blood down all over his body.
Zhong Yue’s face darkened, he smirked coldly and said, “You can understand me? Then what use do you have? Show me or I will eat you away, I don’t care even if you are not tasty!”
The saint herb shivered and Zhong Yue kept the Create Evolve Mystical Gate. Then, the Wall Painting Flower’s petals bloomed, showing the images of the nebulous state of Chaos before the birth of the cosmos.
Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat, he looked carefully at the images and suddenly, the images enlarged in his vision and swallowed him away!
In the next second, the images on the flower petals disappeared along with Zhong Yue, leaving only the flower quietly floating in midair on the spot!
“Huh? I’ve come to the beginning of the cosmos…” Zhong Yue glanced around only to find the cosmos still in its nebulous state of Chaos.
Around him, there were great powers that began creating the cosmos. These powers were all kinds of different Daos, they were creating spaces in the nebulous state of Chaos, some of them have even started condensing into shapes, turning into physical and solid innate sacred grounds.
These innate sacred grounds had their own unique looks. There was one that looked like a dragon, another one looked like a snake; there was an innate sacred ground shadowed by total darkness, one shone in brightest light, one suffused in evil air, one filled by grand and solemn air, and another one brimmed with demonic air.
While some Daos became innate sacred grounds in the ancient universe, there were the others that formed the amazing spiritual roots of heaven and earth. But what shocked Zhong Yue was that he saw there were more than just three great spiritual roots of heaven and earth!
From what he knew, there were only three great spiritual roots of heaven and earth, the Tree of Life, Innate Fruit Tree, and Fusang Divine Tree. But what he was seeing now were six other spiritual roots apart from the three he already knew about!
One of them was shredded into countless saint herbs during the opening of the cosmos and spread all across the ancient universe. Whereas the other five spiritual roots settled in different parts of the cosmos.
There are five more spiritual roots that have no master? Zhong Yue was shocked, he thought, Strange, why haven’t I heard of these five spiritual roots before?
Then, he saw a Dao taking the shape of a mountain ridge. It formed the most ancient and sacred mountain ridge, the Innate Dao Mountain.
Immediately, Zhong Yue stopped caring about the other things and stared closely at the Innate Mountain Dao as it slowly formed into Innate Dao Mountain. The process of the Dao turning into the innate sacred ground would definitely contain the secrets of the Innate Mountain Dao!
“Unchanged by time, yet changing nonstop in time… It grows high, it turns low, and it changes. When it is high, it becomes mountains and gathers energies on the summit; when it is low, it turns into valleys and stores energies at the bottom. And yet, it is changing endlessly. Such are the cores of unchange and change…”
Zhong Yue immersed himself fully. The attainments he extracted from Yuan Ya Deity King’s disciples’ memories that he wasn’t able to organize before now all made sense when he saw the Innate Dao Mountain’s creation. He was enlightened!
With it, his Innate Mountain Dao was slowly manifesting.
After a long time, the Innate Dao Mountain was finally formed with the mountain ridge changing endlessly on the surface.
He has finally mastered the Innate Mountain Dao!
All of a sudden, the images of the birth of the cosmos dispersed. Zhong Yue opened his eyes and found himself back in the world again. The Wall Painting Flower in front of him slowly kept its petals and turned back into a bud.
Zhong Yue calmed himself and cast his cultivation. Totem patterns emerged around him and started merging with each other as he was perfecting his Innate Mountain Dao. With more of Yuan Ya Deity King’s disciples’ cultivation arts and techniques flowing into his mind, his attainments in the Innate Mountain Dao grew deeper as well, bringing him closer to the level similar to Yuan Ya Deity King’s attainments!
“Yuan Ya Deity King sure is amazing, he has taught so many disciples and yet, he still didn’t finish teaching everything about the Innate Mountain Dao!” Zhong Yue stopped when he felt him reaching his limit.
Rays flashed in his eyes and he looked at the Wall Painting Flower, he said, “There were still five more other spiritual roots in the images, where are they? You should know their locations, right?”
