After receiving his order, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was about to excuse himself and that was when the existence said in surprise, “Xian Tian, your fortune is experiencing a hike recently, why?”

Fortune? Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was slightly stunned.

Fortune was a very elusive concept to most people, but there were still some that could see it, but Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was not one of these people.

“Your fortune is burning brightly like the raging fire of a meteor. It was already on its peak before and now, it became even brighter. Even I am rather shocked by it.”

The existence continued, “When you came to me last time, I told you that you have the potential kismet of a Heavenly Monarch and that was based on the fortune I saw in you but it’s even stronger now. To be able to surge your fortune to such an extent, there must be someone with great fortune serving under you recently and that person is the cause of this.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian kept quiet for a second to think and he murmured, “I became enemies with the Heavenly Monarch recently so there were not many that came serving under me. Most of them are still sitting on the fence, how is there someone with great fortune that are willing to… Wait a minute!”

A moment clarity struck him and he quickly asked, “Teacher, the only one worthy that came to me recently is Li Yang, could it be him?”

“Very likely. Perhaps he is the one.”

The existence said, “With his great fortune, you will benefit greatly. His fortune will continuously help you but you have to understand that if his fortune overwhelms yours, your fortune will be devoured by him and in the end, nothing will be accomplished and everything will be his!”

However, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian did not think that this was possible as he always thought the saying of fortune was something that shouldn’t be taken way too seriously. Besides, though he was an innate god in his previous life, Zhong Yue was a human right now and with an ordinary god cultivation level, what harm could he do?

As for Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, he was the one that will rise as a Heavenly Monarch, a rare innate Heavenly Monarch and he was confident that there are not many that could overwhelm his fortune.

“With that said, I suppose I have to see this Li Yang for myself and take a glimpse at his origins.” said the existence slowly, “If his fortune is too strong, then he must be removed from the game…”

As soon as he spoke of this, he groaned as he felt his blood boiled and his body struck by something that cannot be seen while the dimension around trembled.

The shocked Imperial Emperor Xian Tian immediately shouted, “Teacher!”

“It’s nothing.”

After suppressing the abnormal situations, the existence’s voice came from the divine palace, “It’s just a curse. As I get closer to that level, the curse that came with the sealing of Fuxi Celestial Race gets stronger but this is a good thing.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was more than just puzzled as he did not comprehend how a curse could be a good thing.

“I am evolving into a Dao God and this innate body will be abandoned by then. The curse however, will remain in this body and will have nothing on my anymore while I become the God of Pure Gao and enter The Impossible World.”

The existence said, “And with that, there will be no stains on me, which is good.”

However, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian who was far away from reaching that level had barely any knowledge that the storm of confusion still raged within him. The existence showed no intention to explain furthermore and he said, “I need to shut myself in to cultivate now and try my best to unshackle myself from this body. Meanwhile, bring Li Yang to me but this will take a long time and it will hinder my cultivation. Hmmm, I’ve reached the crucial point in my cultivation and I must not linger around anymore. Bring my eye to see him, this eye of mine possesses the ability to see through a great deal of things so it will not be a problem to see through his origins.”

From the divine palace came an eyeball with darkness roaring in it and only when the eye close will the darkness disappeared.

And the strangest thing was that there was no blood behind the eye as if it was still connected to the existence’s body.

At his level, his body had become terrific divine weapons and any body parts could be turned into extremely powerful items.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian kept the eye away and asked again, “Teacher, then what about the Xian Tian Royal Guard bloodline…”

“Simple.” replied the existence, “I will teach you the way to remove the first five level of seals. After removing the seals, their souls would return to 100,000 years ago to see me and I will show them mercy.”

The shocked Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shouted, “Teacher, can you return to 100,000 years ago?”

“No. The Great Curse can only bind a certain period of time to a specific dimension 100,000 years ago. You are still far from this level so it’s normal that you don’t understand. This is a technique that can only be used after cultivating the Fuxi Race’s own [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] the peak. It will be taught to you after you became the new Heavenly Monarch. Now, leave me.”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian nodded and bowed and he returned to Xian Tian Palace with that eye.

His journey back was uneventful, but suddenly, somewhere far away in the Zi Wei Galaxy came a divine light which made Imperial Emperor Xian Tian stop in his tracks.

He looked carefully towards the divine light, only to realize that it was actually a blazing divine flame that emerged from a huge cauldron. The fire lit the space and it was much dazzling than the sunlight.

Beside the cauldron stood two old men, with one kneeling beside the cauldron blowing air into it to strengthen the fire. Meanwhile, the other one was topless, exposing his wiry body that was hammering a weapon with an absurdly massive hammer.

With one controlling the fire and another hammering the weapon, the two old man worked hard to forge the weapon.

Strange, these two are not weak at all. Why are they forging divine weapon here?

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was caught off guard and after continue to watch for a moment, the old man yielding the hammer lifted the weapon up and examined it carefully before placing it back into the furnace and took it out to be hammered again.

The emperor continued looking before he interfered, “Dear senior martial brothers, why are you forging a weapon here?”

The old man blowing wind into the cauldron raised his head and looked at Imperial Emperor Xian Tian with his cloudy eyes as he asked, “Are you the Heavenly Monarch?”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian shook his head and answered, “Not yet.”

“Then why are you butting into everything if you’re not?”

The old man sneered, “Everything beneath the heaven belongs to the Heavenly Monarch. If you are not the Heavenly Monarch, then leave us alone.”

With that said, the old man redirected his attention back into controlling the fire.

On the other hand, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was not mad at all and he asked with a smiling face, “I may not be the Heavenly Monarch, but I still have some status within the Zi Wei Galaxy. I don’t think it is rude of me to just ask what you two are doing. What need is there for these two senior martial brothers to be so angry?”

The old man hammering the weapon stabbed the weapon back into the cauldron and replied in surprise, “How unreasonable. As we forged our weapon, we did not block your path nor occupy your space. Yet without rhyme or reason, you came bothering us. Piss off these two old men and we will smash your brain out from your head!”

Anger flashed past Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s eyes but he managed to calm himself down and he said calmly, “So it seems like I am the one crossing the line. Pardon me, senior martial brothers.”

With that, he left while the two old man continued on with their business.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian then walked away but the hammering sound continued to ring out load and clear. And although he was still curious, he decided to ignore them. Not long later, another divine light came shooting towards his direction and hammering sound was heard again. The emperor frowned and he noticed that a cauldron was placed somewhere in front of him and there were two old man smithing at the cauldron.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian stopped and with divine light flickering in his eyes, he asked calmly, “Why are you blocking my way, senior martial brothers?”

The old man controlling the fire looked up and asked, “Are you the Heavenly Monarch?”

“No.” replied Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

The old man shouted, “Then why are you being such a busybody? Everyone beneath the heaven belongs to the Heavenly Monarch. If you are not the Heavenly Monarch, then leave us alone!”

This time, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian did not say anything and he sneered as he detoured while the hammerings were heard coming from behind.

Not long later, from the front came the hammering noise and divine light. The emperor looked up only to see the two same old man forging their weapon in front of him and they were almost done forging.

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian stopped and after observing for a while, he smirked and left.

Dang dang dang-

The same thing repeated as if nothing had changed but this time, the weapon was almost completed. It was an arrow.

[Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s eyes blinked as he found out the hammering noises were actually [Demonic Chant of Reincarnation]. Each hammering noise was in sync with his footsteps and without him knowing, he was brought into an endless cycle.

He moved past the two old men again only to run into them time and time again.

It was as if he were walking in a circle within this dimension, encountering the two old man again and again.

He no longer stopped and continued forward while he ignored the two old man each time he saw them, all the while increasing his speed.

After passing by them for the ninth time, the arrow had been completely forged and they put out the fire in the cauldron. One of them carried it on his back and the other carried the hammer but they both stared at Imperial Emperor Xian Tian.

The Imperial Emperor then stopped and said with a smile, “Seems like you have completed your weapon, senior martial brothers.”

“Such a busybody.”

The old man with the hammer grinned, “This is the territory of the Heavenly Monarch and you just insist on bothering us when we are in his land. Do you fancy yourself as the Heavenly Monarch?”

The old man controlling the fire said, “You’ve seen how we forged this and stole our technique. We need to destroy one of your eyes for your sins!”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian laughed and he stretched his hands towards both sides and said, “Both of you are sent to deal with me by the Heavenly Monarch. I know that clearly so you can’t stop your pretentious acts!”

“So you’re not completely stupid.”

The old man exchanged glances and they laughed, “But you definitely have no idea about the secrets behind our smithing! Through the hammering noises, we obtained your cultivation level and this arrow was built from that specifically for you! His Majesty said that you contributed greatly in his empire but you grew greedy and tried to rob him of his throne and land. Hence, we were ordered to bring one of your eyes to His Majesty!”

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s vision was glued onto the arrow and he asked seriously, “Where did you two come from? How come I have never seen your faces?”

“You have someone supporting you from the back and you don’t allow his majesty to have his own support?”

The two old man then took out a divine bow with a thick Dao totem patterns as the bowstring. They rested the newly forged arrow onto the bow and drew it at their target as they mocked, “And after knowing that you’ve gone to see your support, do you think his majesty will stand by and do nothing? Mu Xiantian, give us your eye!”
