Lu Wang said this to draw Zhong Yue’s attention. After all, Zhong Yue and Lu Binger weren’t actually on good terms. Lu Binger once invited Zhong Yue into a trial for a relationship but was declined by Zhong Yue indifferently. The humiliation of rejection was really what kept Zhong Yue in Lu Binger’s mind.

“As a monarch race of the God Order Era, who doesn’t have a monarch weapon to secure the clan’s fate?” Xiang Zungong strode forward and said placidly, “You Luli Clan has the monarch weapon and monarch cultivation techniques, but do you think our Zhuxiang Clan doesn’t have any? Not to mention, our Zhuxiang Clan’s female clansmen are all warm and gentle beauties.”

“Shameless!” The experts chided, “Senior Martial Sister Yin is still here and you dare to allure brother-in-law with your Zhuxiang beauties?”

Xiang Zungong scolded back, “Didn’t Lu Wang just mention his sister? Why didn’t you all scold him for that?”

Lu Wang smirked happily, “My sister knows Mister Yi, they are just friends and it’s only natural for me to invite Mister Yi on her behalf.”

Xiang Zungong was speechless at Lu Wang’s shamelessness.

Zhong Yue turned to Royal Prince Wen Yu and smiled, “Your Highness, if there’s time, I will be sure to visit Your Highness in the Heaven Court one day.”

Royal Prince Wen Yu raised his head slightly higher and said with deep meanings behind his words, “Then, I will fully prepare myself to receive Mister Yi’s arrival. Mister Yi, you are talented, with a strong foundation and deep attainments. My father in need of talents like yourself. If Xian Tian Palace mistreats you, why do you still remain with them?”

Zhong Yue smiled, “Your Highness, Yi understands of your good will.”

Royal Prince Wen Yu took out and token that was inscribed the word ‘Yu’ on it, he smiled, “If that’s the case, I will be waiting for your arrival. Everyone, please forgive me, I will excuse myself now.” As he finished, he led his followers and left.

Zhong Yue watched as Royal Prince Wen Yu left, then he turned to Lu Wang and smiled, “Brother Lu, I apologize for I have overdone in the battle. Yi will pay you a visit some day and properly apologize.”

Lu Wang quickly replied, “It’s okay, it’s totally fine. I too am sorry for offending Mister so many times. If Mister Yi pays the Luli Clan a visit, we will welcome you with gratitude.”

“You are welcome.” Zhong Yue sent Lu Wang off, then he turned to the Zhongyang Clan’s Yang Buping, he sighed, “The death of your little brother is something I regrets a lot. I am sorry not being able to save Yang Changsheng. I too, will pay the Zhongyang Clan a visit for a proper apology.”

Yang Buping quickly replied, “The Zhongyang Clan has wronged Mister Yi for something you didn’t do. Buping is glad to be able to resolve the misunderstanding with Mister Yi today. Mister Yi, my words hold true even now. The Zhongyang Clan’s five reigns of monarch weapons and monarch cultivation techniques are available for Mister Yi to study.”

Zhong Yue thanked him and sent Yang Buping as the latter left. Then, he turned to Lilian Lingyu with his usual smile, “How is Senior Martial Sister Lingyu’s wounds? Yi is sorry for overdoing the battle.”

“It’s fine now.” Lilian Lingyu smiled, “I am close friends with Sister Yinxuan, I am happy to see her marrying an outstanding man, and that makes us friends too. The two of you, please remember to visit our Lilian Clan.”

Zhong Yue agreed to it, he watched her leave and walked up to Wu Qingqing, he smiled, “Senior martial sister, the marriage between Yinxuan and I was a little to hurry, please forgive us for not being able to notify you in time.”

Wu Qingqing knew he didn’t want to entertain any guests anymore, she chortled, “If Sister Yinxuan did notified me, I might just snatch you away during your marriage. Mister Yi is so exceptional that I don’t even feel like letting you get away. What a pity that Sister Yinxuan had taken you already. Sister, brother-in-law, visit and play often in my Wuming Clan, there’s a lot to do in our clan!”

Zhong Yue then turned to Xiang Zungong, he said, “The universe isn’t really peaceful now.”

Xiang Zungong immediately understood him and laughed, “If Mister Yi can represent the Yinkang Clan and maintain a good relation with our Zhuxiang Clan, the universe may be in chaos but our two clans will be at peace.”

The two laughed together and Zhong Yue sent him out from the State of Heavenly River.

Zhong Yue sent the experts away one after another, he promised them that he would pay them a visit, even the Panhu Clan’s Pan Xu was no exception to it. Zhong Yue has promised that he would head to the Panhu Clan and visit one day when there’s a chance.

After a long time, he has finally sent everyone out from the State of Yinkang. Yin Fanxuan asked curiously, “Hus… Mister Yi, you really plan to visit the clans? Some of them are your hostiles.”

Zhong Yue laughed, “If I am to spread my name across the universe, it is inevitable for me to visit the clans and races. It’s alright even if they aren’t my allies. After all, I am the son-in-law to the Yinkang Clan’s clan master and your husband, how would dare to do anything to me?”

Yin Fanxuan rolled her eyes at him, but her heart was sweet as honey. Suddenly, she came back to her mind and exclaimed in shock, “You still plan to return to Xian Tian Palace?”

Zhong Yue nodded.

Yin Fanxuan frowned, “Heavenly Monarch and Imperial Emperor Xian Tian are bound to war and the bloodshed will shake the universe into parts. Even the giant presences can die easily if he is caught in the war between them. Furthermore, Xian Tian Palace values you only little, let alone that there is a King Zi Guang who holds enmities toward you. Why do you even still want to go back? I know you are trying to spread your name across the universe by visiting the clans and races so that Xian Tian Palace will value you more. However, Mister, for you to be renowned, any of the races, clans, and forces are more than willing to accomodate you. Why do you still return? With King Zi Guang restricting your performance by the side, you won’t be able to do much.”

Zhong Yue shook, he replied in a placid tone, “I will go back to Xian Tian Palace, but this time, it’ll be King Zi Guang that comes personally and asks me to return. By then, King Zi Guang will not be able to restrict me anymore, at the very least, we will be standing on the same height in Imperial Emperor Xian Tian’s heart. Moreover, there is a chance I’d stand even higher than him.”

“But that’s not a reason to go back to Xian Tian Palace either, a wise man does not place himself in a dangerous…” As she said, Yin Fanxuan suddenly remembered, He is returning because he is a Fuxi, he is returning because of his human race. Should I tell father about his true identity…

She looked up and saw Yin Fukang who was bragging to the old brats of the Yinkang Clan about just how wise he was choosing Zhong Yue as his son-in-law.

“My son-in-law is the strongest Deity, my daughter is also the strongest Deity! You all see that? Even the monarch races and sovereign races are fighting for my son-in-law! Are your daughters as good as mine?” Yin Fukang boasted as if he was the only living creature with an actual functioning mind here in the scene.

I guess it is what it is. Whichever way it is done, I am married to him and so will my heart be inclined toward his, Yin Fanxuan thought in her heart, there was somewhat a sense of joy that she was able to take her little revenge on her father by not telling him of Zhong Yue’s true identity as a real Fuxi.

Rays flashed across Zhong Yue’s eyes, he looked at Yin Fanxuan and said, “I will head for the Heavenly River and meet with that Feng Qingyu.”

“I’ll go with you!” Yin Fanxuan quickly said, “Mister Wuji and the two Kua Fu Deity Emperors have followed him. That Mister Wuji seems to be a little hostile toward you. It’s better to bring another few of our Yinkang Clan’s gods just in case of an ambush!”

Zhong Yue smiled, “Don’t worry, the mere Deity Emperors can do no harm to me.”

He walked toward the Yinkang Clan’s harbour and had the Yinkang Clan demon gods prepared a transport for him, he said, “Prep up a canoe for me will do.”

A few moments later, the Yinkang Clan demon gods have prepared the canoe for him. The canoe was thirty feet long and had no mast or sail, there was only a long quant pole that came with it.

Zhong Yue boarded the canoe and saw Yin Fanxuan boarding another ship, it was clear that she wasn’t too at ease to let him go alone.

Zhong Yue smiled, he pushed the quant pole and propelled the canoe into the Heavenly River.

The Heavenly River was endless, extending all the way across the horizon. The starwaves flowed beneath the canoe as it travelled in the speed of thousands of miles every second.

He sailed on the Heavenly River, glanced around and saw no one around. Lu Wang, Pan Xu, and the other young experts have long left, whereas Feng Qingyu, Feng Wuji, and the Kua Fu gods were also nowhere to be seen.

Zhong Yue followed down the stream for a long time but still couldn’t find Feng Qingyu and the others. Meanwhile, Yin Fanxuan’s ship was following somewhere close behind him.

Unbeknownst to them, they were already a distance away from the State of Yinkang, they had sailed deeper into the Heavenly River.

As such, they had sailed for millions of miles, until the Heavenly River brought him out of the Zi Wei Imperial Star. Zhong Yue looked up and saw the stars high up in the sky. It was at this moment that a ship sailed into their vision behind Yin Fanxuan’s ship, it was sailing toward them.

Yin Fanxuan looked at the incoming ship and saw Feng Wuji, Feng Qingyu, and the Kua Fu gods; they were also looking at her, inspecting if there were any Yinkang gods hiding in the ship.

“The Yinkang Clan experts are not on the ship.” Feng Qingyu’s divine third eye scrutinized the ship, he suddenly said, “Mister Wuji, this is a battle between him and me. You all don’t have to interfere in it.”

He stomped his feet, and a plank broke out from the deck and was thrown into the Heavenly River. Feng Qingyu raised a knifehand and chopped down a long mast from the ship. He clenched the broken mast in his hand and leaped down to the plank floating on the Heavenly River; using the mast as a pole to push him forward.

“Don’t follow, just wait for my good news!” Feng Qingyu said, “Not long later, I will bring him to Mister Wuji; by then, he would be yours to handle.”

Feng Wuji’s eyes flashed as he muttered, “Feng Qingyu is too arrogant, he actually thinks he can to capture him alone. Power the ship at full strength, follow them!”

Kua Fujin and Kua Fumao immediately surged their arcane energy as they followed closely behind Feng Qingyu and Zhong Yue.

At the same time, Yin Fanxuan was also powering her ship in a chase after Zhong Yue.

However, whether it be Feng Qingyu or Zhong Yue, their canoe and plank were small and lightweight; thus, their speed was much faster, whereas the ships were huge and cumberseome, they weren’t able to catch up to the two.

All of a sudden, the Heavenly River in front of them suddenly grew tumultuous. The tides were surging higher, the waves were quicker, and the sands were washed to the surface.

Then as they progressed further, there were even sands that were washed out of the waters and shot up to the sky. These sands have returned to their original size of stars!

The canoe and plank moved in the midst of the countless stars, casually evading the obstacles and swung the ships far behind them.

Seeing that there was no way for the ships to catch up to them anymore, Yin Fanxuan gave a stern yell and broke a plank and chopped a mast. She then took off and after Feng Qingyu and sailed with the plank under her feet and mast as quant pole in her hands.

At the same time, Feng Wuji saw her actions and also shouted, “Abandon the ship!”

Kua Fujin, Kua Fumao, and Feng Wuji followed the same after Yin Fanxuan. The three of them proceeded in chasing after Feng Qingyu and Zhong Yue.

But the condition of the Heavenly River grew even more precarious as time goes by, there were a few times death had slipped past them.

Feng Wuji shook his head and two heads grew out from his neck, the middle one was the human head and the sides belonged to the Pan Ao’s. The divine third eye opened on his heads and three godly rays were shot out, searching for Zhong Yue’s and Feng Qingyu’s locations.

However, with the precarious condition of the Heavenly River threatening their lives every second now, it was hard to focus on his search; not to mention that the Heavenly River’s current turbulence was heavily interfering with his senses.

“Mister Wuji!” Kua Fumao said anxiously in a hoarse voice, “The tides are too rough, if our planks get flipped over, we’ll all die with no chance of survival!”

Feng Wuji suddenly saw in the midst of the tides and gales, Yin Fanxuan was still sailing toward a direction. His eyes brightened up and he ordered, “Continue forward!”
