Come, Let Us Hunt For The Gods
Come, Let Us Hunt For The Gods
This was just like killing away the natural abilities of the races and place them down onto the same start as the humans!
The power of the bloodlines were the sole reason why the other races were stronger than the humans. Some were born with immense strengths, some were strong in psyches, and some proficient in controlling the natural elements.
Yet, the humans were born without any natural abilities; in fact, they were the weakest in every aspects!
However, if the power in the other races' bloodlines were sealed away as well, they would fall to the same level as the human race, born without any natural abilities!
And when the cultivations were ceased to exist in the future, the world's hierarchy of races would be starting all over again!
"Brat Yue, do you know how much offerings you will need to carry out such a ritual?", the little flame asked.
Xin Huo was also a marvelous being. Any other people would be shocked by Zhong Yue's wild ambition, and regard him as the embodiment of the greatest evil.
But all Xin Huo had in mind was not the fact that Zhong Yue had such an evil plan, but where would they find the offerings to carry out the ritual!
"If I only seal away the Ancestral Star and Celestial Wood Star, I suppose I won't need too much offerings?", Zhong Yue asked, "Patriarch Nature's mortal body, the City of Nature, is that sufficient to seal the power of the races?"
"Far from enough!", Xin Huo shook his head, "Patriarch Nature is strong, but he isn't a Creator. His mortal body alone is not enough, you need more!"
Zhong Yue's eyes throbbed and he said, "In addition to Xiao Mang grand anccestor, Lord Kun, Lord Demon and the gods of Ancestral Star?"
Xin Huo ran the estimations in his mind and answered a few moments later, "Barely, but it's practically useless as it'll take three or even four thousand years for the effects to kick in. Also, your prowess now is not strong enough to host the sealing ritual. Furthermore, do you even know how to carry out a sealing ritual?"
"About that, I will entrust the mighty Xin Huo to teach me.", Zhong Yue stiffened up his face and said.
"I know a couple few of the sealing rituals, I can teach you.", Xin Huo said in hesitation, "But you are too weak, the ritual might even take your life along with the other offerings."
Zhong Yue winked his eyes while smiling, "I will stop the ritual as soon as I feel myself unable to sustain it anymore. Furthermore, it's not easy to capture the gods like Lord Demon, Lord Kun. By the time I have done it, I will either be a god already or a near god. That time, I might just be able to host the sealing ritual without fear already."
"True that, but you can't try it now. You still haven't cultivate the Innate Star Toad True Spirit, you are still too weak for the gods."
After that, Xin Huo imparted a sealing ritual to Zhong Yue, it was called the Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication. It worships the heaven and earth, and utilized the power bestowed to carry out the sealing ritual.
Xin Huo said solemnly, "One more thing, other than the risk of yourself offered together in the ritual, the sealing rituals will take a great toll on your life. Your lifespan will be greatly reduced, it is a curse, a punishment for sealing the powers of the livings."
"Curse?", Zhong Yue was shocked, he asked, "Then, that evil existence who has cursed us Fuxi Celestial Race, will he be subjected to the same punishment?"
Xin Huo thought about it, "But he is an innate god, lifespan means nothing to him. But if I am not wrong, another greater form of punishment will fall upon him. However, I can only verify that when I see him."
Zhong Yue nodded and let it slide. He quietly attained the Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication, and it took a long time for him to briefly understand it.
First and foremost, the Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication poses a stringent outline on its location. It needed to be done in a place that could is in touch with the earth while also reaches the sky, which means he would have to choose a high mountain.
Furthermore, it requires the blood of the host to start the ritual, to have the offerings sacrificed and commune with the mighty power of the heaven and earth.
Knowing clearly that the sealing ritual was infeasible at this moment, Zhong Yue has left it aside and he looked into the sky.
Above him, in the Pure Yang lightning zone, a Pure Yang Lei Zhe was slowly coming into shape.
Since I am here already, why don't I give it a try?, Zhong Yue thought about it and strode into the Pure Yang Lei Zhe.
At the instant he laid foot in the Pure Yang Lei Zhe lightning loch, a hole was straight away created on his mortal body as a flash of Pure Yang lightning bore right through him. Zhong Yue's face changed drastically and he receded back out from it, and the Pure Yang Lei Zhe lightning loch has dispersed as well.
This Pure Yang Lei Zhe lightning loch is far too terrifying. It's impossible for me to even pull through the first level. Without the Innate Star Toad True Spirit, without the second state of extremities in the True Spirit level, I can never do it at all! Not to mention that there are 81 levels of Pure Yang Lightning Tribulations. I suppose I might not be able to do it even in the Imminent Deity level…
Suddenly, a thought flashed across his mind, But I have one thing else the others don't have, the Fuxi Yuan Shen!
His heart throbbed heavily; unlike the other Qi Practitioners, he has three Yuan Shen, the Golden Crow, Star Toad, and Fuxi!
The other Qi Practitioners had their Yuan Shen lead by the spirits and assisted by the souls as the spirits were stronger among the two. However, Zhong Yue's Fuxi Yuan Shen was the opposite, he had the soul as the lead and the spirit to assist!
And it was only because his soul was stronger than the spirit, he was able to cultivate the sun spirit and moon spirit into his eyes!
If he could cultivate his soul into the Innate True Spirit, and advance into the state of extremity of the True Spirit level, he would be able to finish the 81 Pure Yang Lei Zhe Lightning Tribulations!
Shame, the advancement of the Innate Star Toad True Spirit has failed because of the divine tree. Else, I would have been trying to cultivate the Innate True Soul already. Fortunate enough, my Star Toad True Spirit is just half a step away from turning into the Innate True Spirit, I just need some time more to cultivate it!
With a change of thought, two surges of blood essences flowed out in front of him and turned into Long Yue and Mister Bo Xun.
The three nodded at one another and the other two bolted away with Zhong Yue still standing on the spot.
Long Yue and Bo Xun's prowess were much greater than when they came. But even so, the differences in prowess between them and Zhong Yue grew further than before.
After all, the two of them were just Zhong Yue's incarnations. They didn't have the real spirits, their spirits were just part of Zhong Yue's spirits.
Right now, the two of them only totaled up to less than 20% of Zhong Yue's peak prowess.
However, that was more than enough for them to rise above the mediocrities. In the eyes of the world, Long Yue and Bo Xun were rare talents, powerful True Spirit cultivators that could even defeat the weaker ones among the Imminent Deity magnates!
Zhong Yue turned and returned in Swords Gate. From far, it was evident that the Swords Gate Mountain was a few thousand feet lower than usual, and he thought, So it seems like the Great Ritual of Sealing Abdication can't be hosted in the Swords Gate Mountain anymore. The power of heaven and earth might accidentally ravage the saint mountain. I need to find another mountain that is no less inferior than Swords Gate Mountain. I don't want to have Senior Martial Sister Jun chasing after my life if anything happens to the Swords Gate Mountain again.
His pondered deeply, and his eyes suddenly brightened up, To the East Barren, I can host the ritual in the Xiao Kong Saint City! Furthermore, although Shi Buyi has been tamed, he never stopped trying to free himself. He has been cultivating hard lately, trying to breakthrough and ascend into deityhood. He is powerful, I may need him to help me in capturing the gods!
Immediately, he changed his course toward the East Barren. After some time later, he has reached his destination and landed quietly in a dark corner inside of the saint city.
Immediately, Shi Buyi sensed Zhong Yue's arrival and his face changed drastically. He quickly took Zhong Yue into his manor, in fear that the others would notice.
Ever since the insect magnate controlled by Zhong Yue has infected on his Yuan Shen, Zhong Yue has never asked for anything, or even look for him at all. In all these years, he was also cultivating with all his might so as to ascend into deityhood and get rid of the insect magnate parasitizing on his Yuan Shen.
Thus, Shi Buyi grew nervous, feared that Zhong Yue would notice his unwillingness to give in, and kill him on the spot.
"Big lion, there is no need to worry so much." Zhong Yue smiled.
The insect magnate was in his control, he knew everything Shi Buyi was up to and thus, he had not even the slightest worry of the lion extricating away from his control!
Shi Buyi humped, he calmed himself down and faked a cough, he said, "Zhong Yue, you…"
"Address me properly, for I am master.", Zhong Yue squinted his eyes and smiled.
Shi Buyi's face turned red in embarrassment, he inhaled deeply and pressed down the anger within, "Master Zhong, what brings you here?"
"You, of course.", Zhong Yue said casually, "Good news for you, I have killed Mother Da Zhen about a year ago, and I have seen great improvements in cultivation base as well. But seeing that you are still lingering in the Imminent Deity level, I have decided to help you in your advancement."
Shi Buyi's heart throbbed in fear, he exclaimed out of shock, "You've killed a god? You killed Mother Da Zhen? How is that even possible?"
Zhong Yue laughed, "How is that not possible? It is nothing at all."
Shi Buyi's heart thumped nervously, if Zhong Yue has killed Mother Da Zhen, doesn't that mean Zhong Yue's prowess was beyond his reach?
Then, even if he has cultivated the Pure Yang Yuan Shen, and ascended into deityhood, he still wouldn't be able to free himself from Zhong Yue's control!
So… am I going to be a lion ride for the rest of my days?, Shi Buyi was lost of words, and his mind went blank. Suddenly, he thought of the lower half part of what Zhong Yue said and he quickly asked, "Master Zhong, what kind of help do you mean?"
Zhong Yue patted on Shi Buyi's head like petting a lion cub, he said in a serious tone, "I am planning to help you in your ascension into the deityhood, to become a god."
Shi Buyi was stunned, he stammered, "Help me to… to become the… god? But how…"
"You see, a closed door training on your own is less of a way to breakthrough, especially to advance into the deityhood. Now, you have reached to the limit of what you can gain from cultivation, what you truly need now is a bloody and gory battle!"
Zhong Yue squinted his eyes and smiled, looking like a cunning fox as he said, "You need to fight with the formidable opponents, to feel the threats to your life, to pressure yourself through your limits. Do you really think the deityhood can really be achieved by just cultivating?"
Shi Buyi nodded incessantly, he was dawned; while Zhong Yue continued, "So, follow me and I will bring you to kill a few gods to help you in this crucial moment of your life. Don't thank me, if you aren't my ride, I wouldn't even look at you at all. Come, let us hunt for the gods!"
