Chapter 792: Jellyfish

Their hearts sank; the pseudo Imperial Granary’s totem patterns were just like ribbons. From the front to the back and around them, these totem carvings floated everywhere and isolated them in this strange dimension.

Behind them, Bi Yuan kept his spear away and the path Bi Yuan had opened by piercing through the seal slowly closed.

“Let’s go!”

A disciple shouted as he charged forward only to disintegrate upon touching the totem pattern seals.

In front of everyone, this disciple had disappeared just like that among the alluring and colorful totem patterns seal.

And just like that, the death of a god.

“Don’t move recklessly!”

With cold sweat all over, Bo Di said with a sore voice, “The seals contain a power beyond our level! Stay calm and work together to figure a way out!”

Everyone calmed down, but after they examined these seals, their expressions did not look good at all!

The ribbons formed by these seals were layered together and even when the totem patterns were extremely clear, they failed to comprehend and decipher these seals!

“These are Imperial Emperor level totem patterns…”

As they were all beginning to despair, Xi He suddenly shrieked, “A totem pattern ribbon is floating towards us!”

Unlike the other types of seals, the seals here were not fixed; these alluring totem pattern ribbons were actually Dao totem patterns that were connected to each other. Thus, when one of them changed position, the others followed suit, resulting in them to be constantly transforming.

Like jellyfish, these totem pattern ribbons floated from one place to another, bringing tremendous changes to the seals as they passed them.

Hence, even if they managed to decipher the secrets behind one totem pattern seal, it would not be sufficient for them to get out, and that was assuming that they even understood these totem pattern seals in the first place!

“Come with me!”

Suddenly, Zhong Yue stood up and said, “Follow closely or you will die!”

He waited for a while until everyone focused their attention on him before he started moving. He began launching totem patterns into the seals that surprisingly did not conflict with these jellyfish-like seals, instead merging with them.

His totem patterns actually connected with the pseudo Imperial Granary’s totem pattern seals and turned into the jellyfish’s tentacle.

Sweat dripped down Zhong Yue’s forehead. As his fingers moved quickly, he flicked even more totem patterns out and this tentacle grew longer and wider with each totem pattern.

Instead of trying to remove the seals, he was creating a new one in an attempt to imitate the pseudo Imperial Granary’s seal to create his own totem pattern seal ribbons.

Meanwhile, the others strictly followed every footstep he made while he was doing this.

When Dong Ah looked backward, what he saw scared his soul off out of his body, “Senior Martial Brother Yi, the seal ribbon is getting closer and closer! It’s about to touch us!”

Zhong Yue ignored him completely while he swung his hands, creating even more totem patterns that were flickered into the tentacle.

Behind them, the pseudo Imperial Granary’s seal ribbon continued to close in and the shocked and scared disciples could vaguely see the ribbon vibrating at high speed.

With each vibration, the dimension was torn apart and the dimension turned into the tiniest yet sharpest blades that flew everywhere.

Bo Di bit his lips and with a sudden swing, he wrapped Dong Ah and the others in his psyche, throwing them into his Yuan Shen Secret Realm before turning into a demonic crow that landed on Zhong Yue’s shoulder to distance himself as much as he could from the deadly ribbon.

“Senior Martial Brother Yi, Mister Yi! The ribbon is near!” shouted Bo Di desperately.

Zhe—

After being touched by a tiny blade, the lower hem of his robe turned into dust without a sound.

Zhong Yue, however, did not flinch as he continued throwing totem patterns into his own totem pattern ribbons while Bo Di watched nervously. His heart pounded even quicker when the blades were getting even closer to both of them.

And just as the seal ribbon was about to swallow them whole, Zhong Yue finally moved a step forward onto the totem pattern ribbon he created and said, “Get down.”

Bo Di immediately jumped off his shoulder and onto the totem pattern ribbon. He looked around and noticed that this ribbon was moving around like a real tentacle. Each time it waved, changes occurred onto the seals but the seals did not conflict with the other totem pattern ribbons at all.

The ribbon Zhong Yue created felt like it grew right from the pseudo Imperial Granary and merged with the other seals. As such, this tentacle did not try to wrap around the other tentacles and with that, they escaped death.

Bo Di then let everyone out once it was safe again. Everyone stood on this ribbon Zhong Yue created where other alluring ribbons surrounded them and the end of this path filled with ribbons was a gigantic light ball of the size of a planet.

This massive light ball acted as a guiding point for these ribbons; wherever it passed, the ribbons would follow. These light balls circled passed each other and locked the entire surrounding with seals.

They felt like they had all entered a world filled with jellyfish, but what was odd was that when looking from the outside in, one would not be seeing this scene at all.

“Mister Yi, can you break these seals?” asked a trembling goddess.

To her disappointment, Zhong Yue shook and said, “No. I can only merge ourselves into these seals and become a part of them. As long as we don’t walk away from this ribbon I created, we will all be safe.”

“Then how are we supposed to get out?” said a frowning Dong Ah, “These seals are changing every second, which means that this ribbon under our feet will change position along with these seals as well. Do you think the changes in these seals will bring us to the edge of the seals?”

Hearing this, hopes flickered in everyone’s eyes and they all said, “Seems logical! If we are sent to the edge of these seals, we will have a chance of escaping back to Xian Tian Palace and have them to annihilate Zhu Shi Celestial Race!”

And this was the time when they suddenly saw gigantic bodies scattered around this unknown dimension. To their shock, these bodies were emitting tremendous divine auras and they were all wrapped around by these jellyfish like seals.

The Qi of Creators…

Their heart turned cold upon seeing these corpses and Xi He suddenly realized something horrifying and she shouted, “These Creators are not killed here but they were trapped here to death! If one could stand on the ribbon and rely on these seals to get out of here, how come they didn’t?”

Unlike ordinary gods, Creators possessed an immensely powerful body, thus, even when the jellyfish-like seals wrapped around their corpses, the seals failed to disintegrate their bodies. Apart from that, they seemingly became one with these corpses and if the way Xi He mentioned was true, these Creators would’ve been gone for a long time instead of dying here!

We will surely be able to get out as long as we follow and synchronize with the seals’ operation.

Zhong Yue calculated the patterns and orders and after some time, he said, “The seals here will reincarnate once in every 40,000 years. We are now half way through the cycle but approximately 300,000 years later, we will be standing near the end of these seals.”

After hearing Zhong Yue’s statement, hope was completely drained away from them; 300,000 years time to reach the seals’ borders, who could even live 300,000 except for the innate gods?

They were merely ordinary gods and even after achieving the Bloodline Wheel and cultivated Six Paths Reincarnation, their lifespan was only about 50,000 years long while a Heavenly Monarch’s was merely 120,000 years lifespan. When they waited for the seals to carry them to the border, they would have died like these Creators.

“Mister Yi, you have a way, don’t you?” Bo Di asked nervously.

As time passed, he unconsciously addressed Zhong Yue as Mister Yi instead of Senior Martial Brother Yi.

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, tried his best to figure a way out; merging themselves with the seals was still in his area of capability. But to unravel them directly was a difficult task for him.

“Xin Huo, the Zhu Shi Celestial Race’s Celestial Emperor said that the real Imperial Granary was a treasure left behind by the Earthly Sovereign in the Earth Order Era, can you recognize these seals?” asked Zhong Yue to Xin Huo suddenly.

In his psyche ocean, Xin Huo looked around through his eyes and replied, “This Earthly Sovereign is not the Heavenly Emperor from Fuxi. I know nothing about this Earthly Sovereign so he might be one that rose when I was in slumber. He is very likely from another sovereign race. But, it’s not much trouble for me to remove these seals.”

Zhong Yue felt relieved right away and he said, “Take over control of my body and break these seals then!”

He let go of his psyche and Xin Huo immediately took over. Upon taking control of Zhong Yue’s body, he placed his hands on his waist and laughed arrogantly, “What the hell is the Zhu Shi Celestial Race? They are nothing more than just warehouse guards for the Heavenly Monarch! Do they think they could trap me here just like that? Hey pretty lady, give me a sweet smile!”

Bo Di and the others were completely shocked and their mind went blank as the “Zhong Yue” put a finger on Xi He’s chin and demanded her to smile.

Xi He blushed right away and she quickly turned her head around before she said, “Mister Yi, I am Dong Ah’s woman, please behave…”

“Then kick him aside!”

…

Xin Huo, who did not give a damn, continued, “To be honest, I have mastered the [Celestial Demon Great Pleasure Art] and all the stances in it! I guarantee you will experience pleasures you never would’ve believed were possible…”

“Xin Huo!” shouted Zhong Yue.

Xin Huo immediately zipped his mouth up and started removing the seals disgruntledly.

“This brat! You promised me that you would give birth to more Fuxi children, but you’ve always been slacking. Yet, you are complaining and interfering when I try to do it for you!”

Zhong Yue was speechless and he quickly comforted him, “I don’t have the time right now. Once we settle down, I will give birth to as many children you want!”

“Shut up! If you die here, there will be nothing to talk about anymore!”

…

Though Xin Huo gave them all an unreliable feeling, he was still very powerful; about two months later, the exit appeared before them and it will not take long until they finally escape from the pseudo Imperial Granary’s seals.

Xin Huo removed the seals on the way at the front and after he brought everyone out from the pseudo Imperial Granary’s seals, he turned around and said, “Pretty girl, why don’t you consider kicking Dong Ah away and choose…”

Without hesitation, Zhong Yue immediately took control of his body back and said, “Xi He and Dong Ah! Contact Xian Tian Palace now! Bo Di, reveal your true form and let’s go!”

Xi He blushed and before she took out the divine statue to contact Xian Tian Palace, she secretly glanced at Zhong Yue and thought, Although he is a human, his origins as an innate god are far better than Senior Martial Brother Dong Ah, if he is my man…

Bo Di, meanwhile, turned back into his original form, which was a three-taloned demonic crow with a wingspan of a few miles. He carried everyone on his back and flew away quickly.

“Huh?”

Far away, the Weapon Ancestor and Royal Prince Wen Chang suddenly noticed Zhong Yue and the others escaping from the Imperial Granary’s seal and their faces contorted right away.

Cold sweat dripped down from Weapon Ancestor’s forehead and he said, “Your highness…”

“Go after them and kill them all!”

Said the prince as killing intent and anger flickered in his eyes, “Kill them right now and with that, no one can prove that we are the ones that killed them!”
