Chapter 817: Big Black Shady Palace
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
This little boy was Xing Tian, a new life born from the innate demon god Bo Di’s head. He was captured by Feng Xiaozhong and later on, served under him.
And his name, Xing Tian, was given to him by Zhong Yue.
Upon hearing Zhong Yue calling out his name, Xing Tian panicked and ran away quickly.
Xing Tian’s here, which means that Senior Martial Brother Feng is near!
Zhong Yue became very happy and he quickly chased after the young boy only to notice this young boy was running around patternless in this sacred mountain. All of a sudden, Xing Tian shouted, “Shi Tuo! Shi Tuo! Someone is here to catch your brother!”
“Catch my brother! Who dares to catch my brother!?”
An angry roar was heard as a demon god’s spirit descended from the skies, stomped onto the ground before Zhong Yue. This spirit had three heads, each looking more ferocious than the last, and they stared at Zhong Yue menacingly and smirked, “Are you the one?”
Zhong Yue smiled and replied, “Shi Tuo, it’s been a long time. Do you still remember me?”
Shi Tuo looked at Zhong Yue carefully and was shocked after looking at Zhong Yue. He quickly grabbed onto Xing Tian and shouted before he fled, “This is bad! This is bad! Master! There’s a reincarnated innate god from beneath the mountain! He is here to catch you!”
The demon god’s spirit ran straight back up into the mountain while Zhong Yue was speechless as he remembered that he was not showing his real face, resulting in a scene where the duo did not recognize him, thus, panicking them both.
However, he had no idea if there were any strangers around so it was not the time yet for him to remove his disguise. After all, he was the most wanted man in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.
He followed behind Shi Tuo closely and rushed towards the mountain. This mountain was made from divine gold and was adorned with abundant godly herbs, spiritual grass, and divine trees. There were occasionally a few gods and demons that patrolled around this mountain and they would immediately rush towards Shi Tuo and Xing Tuan upon seeing Zhong Yue who was chasing after them.
And Shi Tuo would just shout, “Get lost! Go away! This brat here is a reincarnated innate god that even I can’t deal with! You will only lose your lives if you come!”
The gods and demons shouted in fear and they scattered quickly.
Shi Tuo stormed off at lightning speed and when he arrived at the mountain top, he charged into a jade palace and shouted, “Master! You’ve been found. There is an innate god here to arrest you!”
Zhong Yue was speechless but he followed Shi Tuo into the jade palace regardless.
This jade palace was entirely made of top quality jade, and there were a few young boy and girls that were cleaning the exterior. When they saw Shi Tuo, Xing Tian, and Zhong Yue, they threw their brooms aside and disappeared into hiding.
With Xing Tian in his hands, Shi Tuo charged into the jade palace while Zhong Yue followed behind before the gates slammed and closed shut. Shi Tuo stopped right away and with his hands on his waist, he laughed happily, “Another one!”
Xing Tian stood on Shi Tuo’s head and said, “There we go! Another innate god, a reincarnated one. He will satisfy master’s interest for about three days I reckon!”
“You really are a fool! Unlike the gutless ones, you are really brave to intrude master’s Big Black Shady Palace!”
Zhong Yue was not affected by their words and he asked, “Xing Tian, Shi Tuo, where is Feng Xiaozhong, Senior Martial Brother Feng?”
Shi Tuo and Xing Tian flinched for a second after knowing Zhong Yue knew about their master’s name and they looked at Zhong Yue in confusion while Shi Tuo whispered, “Ever since our master arrived in the Zi Wei Imperial Star, he had no friends, yet this fool here knows him? Not to mention he knows master’s name.”
Xing Tian nodded and said, “Those who’ve seen master have been either hung up, tied up, or dissected. He actually knows master’s name… Is he really an old friend?”
Zhong Yue laughed and added, “Xing Tian, your name is given to you by me. Shi Tuo, you were given to Senior Martial Brother Feng by me, do you still not know who am I?”
Xing Tian and Shi Tuo stared at Zhong Yue mindlessly before Zhong Yue removed his disguise, exposing his real face for a few seconds before he turned back into Yi Feng’s look. He said, “Now do you recognize me?”
Xing Tian shouted, “Uncle Zhong, is this really you?”
Shi Tuo lost his mind and after he came back to his senses, he let out an angry roar and he plunged towards Zhong Yue, “Damn you! It was you! Because of you, my life is now being controlled by that mad man! Xing Tian, do not stop me!”
The young boy Xing Tian dragged Shi Tuo backward with all his strength to stop him from offending Zhong Yue for Xing Tian was very close to Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue, however, did not mind Shi Tuo’s rudeness at all and only said, “My Yuan Shen is as strong as a Deity Emperor’s. You are no match for me, so why bother? Where is Senior Martial Brother Feng?”
“As strong as a Deity Emperor?”
Shi Tuo had a scare and he immediately calmed down and smiled, “Master Zhong, please pardon me. Master is now shutting himself in the Big Black Shady Palace researching various techniques and arts. I will show you the way.”
Zhong Yue nodded and he followed Shi Tuo into the palace and he asked in confusion, “Why is this palace called the Big Black Shady Palace?”
Shi Tuo and Xing Tuo laughed happily on this question and after giving each other a look, Xing Tian explained, “This is just a nickname we created for this palace. It was called the Spiritual Jade Palace before but after master claimed this palace for himself, he did a lot of evil things here. So among ourselves, it is known as the Big Black Shady Palace. The meaning behind this palace is that it is a dark place from which there is no return after entering.”
Zhong Yue was surprised and Shi Tuo who was leading the way said, “You will know after you get in there.”
Not long later, Zhong Yue saw a jade room with a huge dimension hidden inside it. Inside this room was a True Deity from the Wenyao Celestial Race. He was swimming in a huge lake freely and upon seeing them, this Wenyao Celestial Race’s True Deity charged at them ferociously and roared angrily, only to be blocked by an invisible wall.
“This True Deity has been dissected no fewer than 10 times and I never thought he would still be so energetic. Master is planning to dissect his Yuan Shen in another few days to reveal the wonders in the Yuan Shen,” explained Shi Tuo.
They then walked past another jade room where a Tu Luo Demon Race, a demonic goat with two pairs of horns was dissected into pieces along with his Yuan Shen.
“Master did not have the time to stitch him back together yet.”
Xing Tian laughed and said, “Worry not, he won’t die just like that.”
Zhong Yue got to the next jade room and was immediately appalled; he saw a tiger-headed, nine-tailed Lu Wu Deity Overlord nailed in midair.
Another few steps later, he saw another few gods from the Zhu Yan Celestial Race who were nailed onto a jade altar and he saw even more gods from various races. Some were the True Deities and some were Deity Overlords and they were all locked here!
As Zhong Yue progressed deeper into the jade palace, the shock he received intensified. The variety of gods increased drastically and now, there was a pair of male and female locked in the jade rooms. Zhong Yue didn’t even want to guess what Feng Xiaozhong was trying to find out from that experiment.
Zhong Yue continued walking and after seeing more than 10,000 different gods from different races, he became speechless and he thought, Senior Martial Brother Feng… What have you done… This is…
He saw a Deity Overlord from the Luli Clan imprisoned beside a jade pool made entirely of his blood, and there were various containers strewn around the area.
In the air, strange totem patterns that seemingly belonged to Feng Xiaozhong were branded right into the air; these totem patterns were probably the innate talent totem patterns that Feng Xiaozhong derived from the Deity Overlord’s blood!
Zhong Yue’s eyes twitched and he took in a deep breath!
The monarch race!
Feng Xiaozhong had actually captured a monarch race’s Deity Overlord, such guts!
Ughhh… Deity Overlord of the Zhongyang Clan…
As he walked down the path, he felt dizzy upon seeing the gods from the Zhongyang Clan, Wuying Clan, Zhuxiang Clan, Bohuang Clan, Lilian Clan, and many others as they were all captured, imprisoned here and being systematically taken apart by Feng Xiaozhong so that he could unveil the secrets of their Yuan Shen!
He looked around and he noticed that the innate talent totem patterns were entirely extracted by Feng Xiaozhong and that the wonders in their secret realms had all been dug out!
To this madman, the Zi Wei Imperial Star was simply a treasury filled with every wonder he could imagine. Zhong Yue could only imagine the light of insanity that must’ve flashed across Feng Xiaozhong’s eyes as soon as he arrived at this place!
This… This is really beyond imagination! Senior Martial Brother Feng is too scary!
Zhong Yue was shocked and nervous, but at the same time, he couldn’t help but inwardly praise Feng Xiaozhong for his talent.
Then, he saw different Yuan Shen Secret Realms, from small to huge, these gods’ secret realms had all been dissected and explored by Feng Xiaozhong.
Though Feng Xiaozhong had achieved the Six Paths Reincarnation, he knew little about the secrets behind it. Hence, he crazily tried to seek the truth behind it through extracting the other gods.
Zhong Yue then saw even more Deity Emperor’s bodies that were locked in a jade room along with their coffins. These gods were probably buried into the graves after their deaths, but now, they were all dug out by Feng Xiaozhong!
Oh my… A Creator’s body! Feng Xiaozhong is crazy!
Zhong Yue shockingly saw a few Creators’ body and coffin and they were all separated into pieces. From the tiniest detail such as their veins and cells to their organs. They were all dissected and Zhong Yue couldn’t help but sigh. He had to admit that he lacked Feng Xiaozhong’s thirst for knowledge. It was most likely the reason why he was not as strong as him.
Feng Xiaozhong was a man that was singularly focused on his goals. In his mind, there was no right or wrong. He had no scruples about the methods he employed if it helped him further his path toward his Dao.
In his heart, even the Heavenly Monarch was just a stepping stone on his way to achieving the Dao.
And that was why he was terrifying.
“Master only recently entered this ancient tomb and obtained a precious item. He is currently busy researching it!”
Shi Tuo laughed and said, “The room is just a few steps ahead. Master said that after dissecting a few more gods, he would be able to learn everything about the wonders in their Yuan Shen. He said that this wonder will bestow one with great power without achieving the Six Paths Reincarnation and even unleash the full power in Yuan Shen!”
Zhong Yue was stunned for a second before he shouted, “This power you talk about is the power of an innate god! The innate god’s Yuan Shen is his body and his spirit at the same time, thus, allowing the innate god to unleash the Yuan Shen’s full power without opening the Yuan Shen Secret Realm!”
They then arrived at the final jade room and when Zhong Yue looked around, he saw a mutilated innate god’s body. The cause of death was unknown and Feng Xiaozhong was currently standing beside it, busy dissecting the innate god’s body.
Around his body were countless totem patterns that danced around, changing constantly, entering and exiting the innate god’s body to reveal the wonders.
His own Yuan Shen was activated, busy scrapping his own totem patterns in his Yuan Shen and even a portion of his spirit in an attempt to change his spirit and soul.
“No, this won’t work. I have to remove my spirit completely or it won’t be able to become the Innate Yuan Shen!”
Feng Xiaozhong murmured and without raising his head, he suddenly said, “I assume that in order to fully unlocked the potential in Yuan Shen, I have to separate and remove my spirit. Junior Martial Brother Zhong, what do you say?”
Zhong Yue gave this a thought and he said, “Most likely but I feel that without removing the spirit, it would be easier if we used our spirit to strengthen our soul.”
Feng Xiaozhong raised his head and upon seeing Zhong Yue, his eyes lit up with desperation and madness flickered in his eyes as he shouted, “Let me research your Innate Yuan Shen!”
