Chapter 291 - Celestial Emperor Bi Xie
To be able to realize that I have yet to use my full strength, this Bi Xie indeed has his own strength. Also, with the addition of the Celestial Emperor's heritage, he might prove himself a formidable foe!
Zhong Yue then looked away and memorized Bi Xie's name in his mind.
There were not many names on the Godlike Board, only about two to three thousand of them but Bi Xie was not among them. However, after having a brief conversation with Bi Xie, Zhong Yue had gotten a grasp of his behaviors, and it came as no surprise to Zhong Yue the reason Bi Xie was not on the Godlike Board.
In Bi Xie's mind, reputation or fame was no longer his concern. What mattered most was the opponents he faced.
And up until now, he had not encountered anyone he deemed worthy, and as such, his name did not even appear in the Warrior and Godlike Board.
He was completely different from Jiao Qingtu. Unlike Jiao Qingtu who held himself back in the name of fame, by ostentatiously revealing his strength to everyone. Bi Xie only had his opponents in his eyes.
Thus, Zhong Yue's advancement into the Godlike Board had drawn his interest, and he only showed up because of that. Bi Xie however, immediately back off. He didn't want to have an advantage over Zhong Yue as he wanted to see Zhong Yue full power.
And an opponent like that was the most terrifying!
"Senior martial brother, our senior martial brother Bai is so amusing! Each time he says someone is strong, that someone would definitely end up losing," said Qiu Jin'er with a laugh.
Bai Canghai's face turned red to Qiu Jin'er's comments, and he kept coughing, pretending to be oblivious to what she was saying.
Zhong Yue then said gravely, "The Baizhe Clan of the North Barren knows almost everything. Senior martial brother Bai knows the details of the others but not mine, which was why his predictions were always wrong. In the end, it was due to his lack of information, rather than his capabilities."
As soon as Zhong Yue voiced out his opinion, Bai Canghai felt so much better, and he greeted Zhong Yue, "Pardon me for my rudeness. Canghai knew nothing of Brother Zhong's capabilities, and it was only now that I finally realize that you indeed live up to your illustrious fame. Please forgive me for what I said just now."
Un until now, the Zhong Li Celestial Race had yet to reopen the exit, so all of them could only stay in the Lesser Void World. Zhong Yue and Bai Canghai continued their conversation while Qiu Jin'er listened quietly, but she got more and more surprised as she listened.
Bai Canghai was indeed a knowledgeable person. He had the information of the techniques from various races in his head; their effects, power, and even their weaknesses were not unknown to him!
Other than that, he was like a walking encyclopedia as he not only knew about the techniques of the other races, but he even knew their innate talents and weaknesses!
Initially, Qiu Jin'er viewed him lightly, but as Bai Canghai continued conversing with Zhong Yue, her perspective on this seemingly unreliable guy began to change.
The only reason he made a mistake was that he had no idea of Zhong Yue's abilities; he looked Zhong Yue thinking that he cultivated the techniques of Swords Gate and reverse-opened the five wheels through the Swords Gate's methods.
Little did he know that Zhong Yue cultivated【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】that was given to him by Xin Huo. Saying it was different from the Swords Gate's techniques would be quite an understatement.
But the more Bai Canghai learned about senior martial brother, the more he dares not fight with senior martial brother. From that, knowing too much may not be a good thing I guess. The more he knows, the more scared he gets.
Suddenly, Zhong Yue lowered down his voice and said, "Brother Bai, do you happen to know anything about the Devil Soul Forbidden Land under Swords Gate?"
Bai Canghai hesitated and whispered, "We Bai Family did know a little bit about that, but this is a big matter. It's not good for me to discuss it…."
“Can you talk a little about it?” whispered Zhong Yue.
Bai Canghai hesitated again and said, "The Devil Soul Forbidden Land exists not only under your Swords Gate but under many other places. There's one under the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple in the West Barren, the Tianhou Palace of the Zhong Li Celestial Race, the Xian Kong Saint City in the East Barren and even under we Baihou Celestial Temple."
Although Zhong Yue already knew the answer, he was still shocked by the reply of Bai Canghai, and he quickly asked, "Brother Bai, the Devil Soul Forbidden Land is a place to nurture and nourish the saint spirits. The five Devil Soul Forbidden Lands you mentioned just now each already has their own saint spirit, but I have no idea about the mastermind behind all of these."
“So you knew huh?”
Bai Canghai was shocked, and he felt relieved after that. He then said, "Then it's fine if I told you what I know since you know about this already. Throughout these five million years dwelling in the North Barren, our Baizhe Clan records many pieces of ancient histories, but there hasn't been one proper, accurate recording of the Devil Soul Forbidden Land apart from some guesses…."
He stopped for a while and put out serious expression. He whispered in an even lower tone, "Our ancestors made an assumption that apart from the Eastern Sea and overseas, the tomb is connected to the five barrens, and that the tombs under the five barrens are sacrificial tombs. Not the main tomb. Judging by the size and standard of these tombs, the main tomb is probably the tomb of a Godly Emperor or Heavenly Monarch. However, a few days ago when I checked the Heavenly Monarch Residence and the hidden mausoleum, I realized that the monarch mausoleum was extremely grand and had a higher standard. As such, I assume that the main tomb under the five barrens is at most a Godly Emperor level tomb…."
“A Godly Emperor’s tomb?”
Zhong Yue was confused, and he asked, "Louder, I can't hear you."
Upon hearing that, Bai Canghai said in an even lower tone, "My assumption is too shocking, if my assumption is made known to everyone, I fear that it will cause a major uproar. I went through all of the history books of our Bai Family and studied the history of the other races, and I discovered something interesting. I found out that the celestial races of the West Barren including the Zhong Li and Baizhe Celestial Race only had a history of five million years, which suggest that our races only appeared five million years ago. From that, we can assume that the Godly Emperor left five million years ago."
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er were confused as they had no idea how did all of these were related to the Godly Emperor that conquered this place five million years ago.
“Look at these bones.”
Bai Canghai took out a few shattered bones that Zhong Yue felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with, as if they shared the same origins as the Fang Blade, or were even part of the Fang Blade.
Bai Canghai coughed and said proudly, "These bones were found by the elders of my clan beside a lake under the Swords Gate Mountain when Elder Shui Zian invited we Baizhe Family to resolve the conflicts between Swords Gate and Xiao Mang Celestial Race. These bones appeared to be the shattered skulls of a beast god, and they seemed to have emerged from the lake.
Zhong Yue immediately knew which lake he was talking about as it was the same lake when Zhong Yue escaped from the Devil Soul Forbidden Land!
Back then, the beast god corpse demon that was chasing after him had its head crushed by the seals in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land and the largest part of the shattered skull was the beast god fang, which he crafted it into the Fang Blade.
There were other shattered bones back then, but they were too small and too little, which Zhong Yue ignored as he had to get to somewhere.
Who would have known that Bai Canghai would find these tiny bone pieces!
Bai Canghai then took up a bone fragment and said, "This beast god bone existed five million years ago, and the Godly Emperor was in the Ancestral Star five million years ago…."
Zhong Yue was stunned, and he murmured, "Five million years ago, the Godly Emperor left the West Barren with his people, left the Ancestral Star to the Zi Wei Divine Court…."
He then couldn't help himself and shivered as he thought of a scary possibility.
Bai Canghai did the same thing, and he quickly said, "What if Celestial Emperor Bi Xie did not leave, but he died long ago? What if the other gods of the other races died together with him? Every god was buried into the five sacrificial tombs and what remained were the descendants of these gods…."
He and Zhong Yue looked at each other, and they both shivered again.
Qiu Jin'er then said, "Brother Bai's assumption makes no sense at certain points. Xia Hou is not dead, and he is one of the subordinates of Celestial Emperor Bi Xie. If the other gods sacrificed themselves to accompany Celestial Emperor Bi Xie, then why is Xia Hou alive? The spirit of Xia Hou is even being worshipped and prayed by the Zhong Li Celestial Race…."
Zhong Yue then nodded after listening to the words of Qiu Jin’er.
Xia Hou most probably started creating and expanding the lesser void world after Celestial Emperor Bi Xie left the Ancestral Star in an attempt to take over the Heavenly Monarch Residence to open the monarch mausoleum.
And if Celestial Emperor were still here, then it would be him that tried to pillage the monarch mausoleum, not Xia Hou.
Besides, other then Xia Hou, the ancestor dragon of the Ao Clan was still in its slumber in the Eastern Sea. Previously, when the invasion of the Kun Peng Celestial Race started, this ancestor dragon even showed itself, fending off the Divine Wing Saber with the Pan Dragon Sword.
Other than that, the ancestor of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, that scary ancient Pan Ao God's spirit is still hiding in the moon. He too did not sacrifice himself! thought Zhong Yue.
Bai Canghai was also stunned, and he frowned as he thought of the few spirits of the ancestors of the other celestial races that showed themselves after receiving enough worshippers.
Not only that, the ancestor’s spirit of the Baizhe Family was still alive and they were not sealed in the tombs.
"There's nothing wrong about these bones. They are definitely the bones of a beast god existed five million years ago."
Bai Canghai then murmured, “Could it be that the alive gods were guardians of the tombs?”
The three of them were in a state of confusion, and suddenly, the surrounding got extremely noisy as many Qi Practitioners rushed towards the exit of the Lesser Void World while someone shouted, "The Zhong Li Celestial Race reopened the exit, everyone, let's go!"
Zhong Yue got up, and when he looked at the exit and the entrance of the Lesser Void World, he saw the Lang Ya Board remained in the skies while Qi Practitioners exited the lesser void world one by one through the board.
It’s impossible for the Zhong Li Celestial Race to give up the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner.
He felt incredibly uneasy as to how things were progressing right now immediately when he
looked around.
“Senior martial brother, should we head outside as well?” asked Qiu Jin’er.
Zong Yue nodded and together with Qiu Jin’er and Bai Canghai, they walked towards the exit of the lesser void world and gotten closer to the Lang Ya Board.
Suddenly, Zhong Yue’s face changed as he felt the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner in his secret realm started trembling vigorously and it was on the verge of breaking loose, jumping out from his secret realm itself!
Somewhere in front of the Lang Ya Board, along with a Martial Heavenly Master, Elder You and Elder Quan held and waved a banner which greatly resembled the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner in their hands.
The three banners had the drawings of the White Tiger God, Phoenix God, and Xuan Wu God respectively, which suggested that they were a set with the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner.
“They are indeed a set!”
Elder You and Elder Quan's face changed slightly, and they said happily, "The thief is here! We can feel it. The Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner is just in one of the Lesser Void Worlds right behind the Lang Ya Board!
“Quickly! Through the Phoenix, Xuan Wu and White Tiger Marked Banner, we can tear the thief’s secret realm apart and summon the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner back to us!”
The three of them laughed happily, continued to wave the banners while the bond between the three banners, and the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner became stronger and stronger!
"We not only need to retrieve the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner, but we also need to teach that thief a lesson properly!"
