Chapter 940: Stealing Treasure

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The lady officer was extremely unfamiliar; she had nine faces, a body with serpent scales and tail. She was a Xiang Liu Celestial Race’s officer. Upon detecting Zhong Yue’s vision, she immediately turned around, also surprised at what she saw.

A smile then emerged on her nine faces.

It was Si Ming, the other female Fuxi. Unexpectedly, she had snuck back into the Heaven Court, putting on a disguise as an officer. Judging by her attire this time, she was seemingly a court lady that served Goddess Queen Monarch.

The officers in the Heaven Court all represented corresponding stars. The reasons behind it were to ease cultivation and also to identify everyone to minimize infiltration by enemies. So how did she manage to become a court lady?

Questions ran wild in Zhong Yue’s mind. He had only met Si Ming three times including this time but each time, she always gave Zhong Yue a greater sense of mystery.

“Help me to steal something.”

Si Ming’s voice sounded in Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean and when he noticed the Xiang Liu Celestial Race’s court lady was walking further and further away, Zhong Yue decided not to follow without hesitation. In the Heaven Court, he was also one of the centers of attraction, one of the main priorities of the Division of Surveillance. Thus, if he followed behind Si Ming, it would risk exposing Si Ming.

Besides, with Hundun Yu sticking around him every second, it was very hard to meet Si Ming alone by himself.

Si Ming will come looking for me. I wonder what is her target this time. There are now 8 monarchs in the Heaven Court and Goddess Shen Hou is also one of them. With the 8 monarchs present and the 36 army divisions, she is really a brave one trying to steal something!

Zhong Yue’s eyes blinked, What is she trying to steal?

At this same time, another voice sounded out in Zhong Yue’s mind, “Little friend Yi, do you mind having your friend on the side to meet up with me?”

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped intensively and he almost shouted in surprise because this voice belonged to Celestial Monarch Jin Wu!

At this time, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu should be inside with the other monarchs. He never thought Celestial Monarch Jin Wu would contact him!

Zhong Yue calmed himself down and he replied to the voice in his psyche ocean, “Which friend?”

Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s voice sounded immediately, “The little friend from the Hundun Clan.”

Zhong Yue nodded and quickly, he realized that Celestial Monarch Jin Wu would not be able to see the nod so he replied, “Okay.”

Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s voice vanished quickly and second later, Hundun Yu said, “Mister Yi, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu told me that he wants to meet me.”

Zhong Yue replied, “He also told me about this, just go and meet him later. I don’t mind.”

Hundun Yu was feeling a little out of sorts upon hearing this and asked, “Can you come with me then?”

Zhong Yue burst out laughing and he explained, “Celestial Monarch Jin Wu wants to meet you, not me. How can I possibly tag along?”

Sometime later, rumbling laughter was heard coming of Ling Xiao Palace. Seconds later, Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan and the other Imperial Emperors were exiting the palace. The Heavenly Monarch then said with a smile, “My friends, the journey must have been a long one, please stay here for a few days and wait for the banquet.”

Celestial Monarch Jin Wu, Demon Monarch Yang Hou, and the others nodded and Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan summoned an officer to tend to the accommodations for the guests.

The palaces that the six monarchs stayed in were named the Six Imperial Courts, which meant that the six courts were as important as the Heavenly Monarch. They were assigned to the six guests in order to highlight their equally high position.

Zhong Yue then returned to the West Heaven Palace, where his accommodation was wrecked by the Fusang Divine Tree and only the walls preserved.

Not long later, a messenger came to see him with an invitation letter. The messenger clarified his purpose here politely, “The ancient universe’s Celestial Monarch Jin Wu wants to invite the senior martial brother from the Hundun Clan over.”

Zhong Yue accepted the letter and said to Hundun Yu with a smile, “There’s the messenger. Now go.”

Hundun Yu, however, shook his head and replied, “The grand ancestor has given you the Chaos Divine Fruit so you wouldn’t chase me away! I have to follow you wherever you go! You must come with me!”

Zhong Yue lost his words for a moment and he replied, “Your grand ancestor wanted you to follow me, not the other way around. This time, it is Celestial Monarch Jin Wu that wants to meet you, not me. How am I supposed to follow you when I am not invited?”

Hearing this, Hundun Yu also felt difficult. In the end, Hundun Yu had no choice but to leave with the messenger and that was when Zhong Yue suddenly received Si Ming’s message. He blinked his eyes and immediately notified Fu Li, “Fu Li, go to the North Heaven Palace with my clone and find my wife. I have to be somewhere else for the time being.”

Another Zhong Yue then walked out of his body and stood beside Fu Li.

After that, the clone Zhong Yue and Fu Li immediately headed to the North Heaven Palace and just as they left, Zhong Yue’s appearance drastically changed; he had turned himself into a human body and goat-headed god. Then, he walked out of the wreckage and started heading towards Si Ming.

A moment later, Zhong Yue turned around and he saw a Xiang Liu lady officer standing on top of a floating bridge. He met up with her, to which Si Ming quickly frowned upon examining him, “No can do. This appearance of yours will not take you anywhere. You have to disguise as a lady.”

“A lady?”

Zhong Yue frowned, “Why?”

“Because I am the court lady serving under Goddess Queen Monarch now. I am now under her orders to head over to her place. Do you think that there will be a man among her court ladies? Can you disguise as a lady?”

Zhong Yue’s eyes rolled around and he asked, “What are you trying to steal?”

“Of course it’s something extraordinary. It is very important to the Fuxi Celestial Race.” replied Si Ming without showing any other emotions, “Are you coming or not?”

Zhong Yue bit his lips and said, “Alright, I will come with you. You….”

Upon having his words, Si Ming immediately dragged Zhong Yue away and they stopped before a palace. Si Ming then took out a mirror, which a lady officer’s look appeared on it and Si Ming continued, “This is where I am staying right now to stay outside from the Division of Surveillance’s eyes. After you put on her looks, this is how her voice sounds like….”

She suddenly said a few words in a completely different voice as she was imitating the lady’s voice.

As she spoke, Zhong Yue examined the lady officer’s looks carefully and after a moment, his face changed again, putting on a new disguise that looked no different to the one shown in the mirror.

A uniform and token were then taken out by Si Ming, “Get changed right now and place the token on your waist.”

Zhong Yue did as she requested; after putting on the uniform and the token, he walked out from the changing room, which Si Ming’s eyes lit up upon seeing him, “How beautiful!”

“Shut up!”

Zhong Yue shouted angrily, “Where are we going?”

“The Heaven’s messenger’s residence, Bi Luo Palace. We are going there to steal something belonging to our Fuxi Celestial Race.”

“Bi Luo Palace? That place where Mister Bi Luo stays?” exclaimed an entirely shocked Zhong Yue.

He had heard of Mister Bi Luo’s name; this man was an innate god with immeasurable strength, a messenger from Heaven and even the Heavenly Monarch respected him greatly!

Hence, trying to steal something in Bi Luo Palace?

They might as well cut their heads off and hang it on their waist!

“Don’t worry, Mister Bi Luo had gone to see Heaven . He won’t be back anytime soon.”

With an insincere smile, Si Ming mocked, “Are you afraid, Fuxi?”

At this time, Xin Huo who was in Zhong Yue’s psyche ocean suddenly said, “Brat Yue, don’t give in to her! She is definitely plotting something! Remember, she is the type that will use everything she can to get what she wants! If you agree to her suggestion, you will be used by her and she will kick you down into the abyss if things go south! Every expression she made until now was to serve only one purpose, to make you numb so that you will give in to her! Guilt is a foreign concept to her! Don’t forget, you have destroyed the fate you carried and your new future will be full with unpleasant surprises!”

Zhong Yue kept quiet for a second and then asked, “What are you trying to steal?”

Upon receiving this question, Si Ming’s smile gradually faded and her tone turned cold, “Something belonged to the Fuxi Celestial Race, an item of utmost importance. It is tightly related to our race’s future. It is now in Heaven’s hands and I will retrieve it back no matter the cost! The heritage weapon of our Fuxi Celestial Race must not be in the hands of the other races!”

“What is it actually?” asked a persistent Zhong Yue.

Si Ming hesitated before saying, “The weapon that was taken away by the Fuxi traitor, the Six Paths Tian Lun! It is an item that can manipulate every Six Paths Reincarnations that was left behind by the last Fuxi Heavenly Monarch! With this item, we can control all Six Paths Worlds, the Six Paths Reincarnation and everything that was created by all the monarch level existences under the supervision of the Fuxi Heavenly Monarch!”

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped, An item that controls all Six Paths Reincarnation?

“Once activated, this weapon can command all Hell’s Reincarnation, whether it be the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds or the Zi Wei Galaxy’s lesser and greater Heavens!”

Si Ming continued, “This weapon was taken away by the traitor and is now hidden in Bi Luo Palace. Mister Bi Luo’s absence in the palace is the best shot we have! If he returned, it will be impossible to steal it out from Bi Luo Palace!”

Zhong Yue recollected his thoughts. No wonder he felt something was off when he entered the Hell’s Reincarnation back then in the 3,000 Six Paths World. The Hell Reincarnation’s weak defence allowed even ordinary gods to sneak into it!

So it seemed like the item that controlled Six Paths Reincarnation was missing!

Any if these Hell’s Reincarnations were all under the control of this powerful item, and the bearer of that item would be able to control life and death!

“This item can only be used by our people, so Mister Bi Luo and the so-called Heaven are unable to use it.”

Si Ming’s eyes blinked as she looked into Zhong Yue’s eyes and said softly, “Are you going to help me”

Zhong Yue took in a long breath and with a firm nod, he said seriously, “I will help you!”

Si Ming sighed in relief and this time, she gently said, “Don’t worry, with you being the last male Fuxi, I won’t harm you. If you are dead, how is our race going to reproduce? Calm down, I will have to give birth to your child ….”

Suddenly, she took on a very feminine and genteel demeanor. Zhong Yue, on the other hand, felt a shiver travel down his spine, Xin Huo was right! She is using me to reach her target! I have to be careful!

“Your name is now Cai Wei and I am Cai Yun. We are both Goddess Queen Monarch’s court ladies and will be heading to Bi Luo Palace to check on Tian Yi under orders.”

Si Ming started walking forward and she warned softly, “Be very careful, make no mistake!”

Zhong Yue followed behind her as they headed to their destination, Bi Luo Palace, which floated high above the reach of Heaven Court’s. After quite some time of walking, they finally arrived at the palace. From their view, Bi Luo Palace was not within the reach of both heaven and earth, underneath it was an eerie abyss. Within the abyss was seemingly a massive tornado that twisted even time and space. The tornado was just like the mouth of abyss, eager to devour anything and the abyss was in absolute darkness but occasionally, thunder and lightning roared and they lit up the abyss for a split second.

“That abyss down there is the Heavenly Prison that suppresses endless dangerous and horrifying individuals. Each of them was nothing less than Fu Shang.”

A message from Si Ming entered Zhong Yue’s mind as she explained.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue saw chains flying out from the abyss, chained onto the hooks below Bi Luo Palace’s bottom.

And there were also chains that connected Bi Luo Palace and the Heaven Court, which seemed like bridges.

Zhong Yue and Si Ming slowly moved towards the chains and all in a sudden, Zhong Yue’s heart tightned as he spotted a young man walking out of the palace.

Feng Wuji! This is bad!
