Chapter 283 - Three Inner Cores

I still don't know what her name is….

Zhong Yue stood on the ocean with his hands on the back, looking at the imperial consort's boat sailing further and further away before eventually disappearing from his sights. As the greatest race to have ever existed, the Fuxi Celestial Race certainly had no lack of inspiring and glorious heroes. But sadly, the history of their race was wiped off, and the future generations wouldn't even know their names.

Every record about the Fuxi Celestial Race was erased, and not even their direct descendants knew of their origins.

"If you want to destroy a race, you'll have to wipe off its history and let the names of the heroes fade away over time. Let the soul and spirit of the race fade in the flow of time; and when the heritage of the race vanishes, so will their last glimpse of hope … Junior martial sister, let's go, we'll search for Ao Shanshan.

"

Zhong Yue strode forward while Qiu Jin’er followed behind.

As Qiu Jin'er only knew very little, her heart wasn't as heavy as him, she looked at the young man that was heavy-hearted and thought, even if her senior martial brother were not as handsome as the others may be, she found herself completely enamored with his kindness and warmth.

This was something the others didn’t have and also the most attractive points in Zhong Yue.

All the other talents of the other races such as Jiao Qingtu, who had acquired the heritage of the Ancestral Dragon; Xia Shengchu, the Martial Martial with three thousand feet white hair; Zhu Jiangyue, who was like a peerless heroine; or Bai Canghai, who looked like a sick patient. All of them had their own unique qualities that allowed them to stand above the sea of mediocrity. Their fame shone across the lands, and the made their marks through the Warrior Board. All of them were bright and radiant stars to be venerated by their peers.

But when compared to Zhong Yue, they were somewhat lacking — ever since Zhong Yue had witnessed the vicissitudes of life that caused the downfall of the greatest race, an inexplicable aura rose up within him. It was something he had obtained when he decided to walk on an arduous path to reclaim the lost glory of his beloved race and to seek for the truth; it was a mentality that imbued him with the proudest spirit and a conviction that the noblest blood

coursed through his veins.

This quality was precisely what attracted Qiu Jin'er to Zhong Yue, causing her to glance at Zhong Yue with affection.

“【Nuwa Visualization Art】? This art is indeed abstruse, but it seems like it is more oriented for the ladies, a cultivation technique for the females.”

The duo walked alongside while exchanged their cultivation insights; Zhong Yue asked about Qiu Jin’er regarding the【Nuwa Visualization Art】and the young girl showed it to him, it was indeed marvelous.

It wasn’t any more inferior when compared to Zhong Yue’s【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】, but just slightly lacking in complexity than the【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】.

“Nuwa is the Wa Sovereign, one of the Earthly Sovereign of the Earth Order era, the second Heavenly Monarch of the Earth Order era.”

Zhong Yue said smilingly, “She comes from the Huaxu Celestial Race and is also the first Fuxi’s wife. Junior martial sister, cultivating this【Nuwa Visualization Art】will surely bring you a bright future.”

Qiu Jin’er was overjoyed, she smiled ear to ear and said, “Senior martial brother, I’ll teach this cultivation technique to you also?”

Zhong Yue shook his head and declined the offer,

"The【Nuwa Visualization Art】is more oriented to the females, although the males can also cultivate it, it'd only be a matter of time before the males eventually turn into females. By then, you can call me senior martial sister already.

"

Qiu Jin’er was stunned, she shouted in shocked, “What? Can this really happen?”

As he had the foundation of cultivating the【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】, his understandings on the【Nuwa Visualization Art】was deeper than Qiu Jin'er's. The attribute of the【Nuwa Visualization Art】was the feminine Yin, it was meant for women to enhance their natural power. If a male were to cultivate such a technique, the female hormones in his body would be stimulated, and horrible changes on his body structure would take place, for example, the shrinkage of the male genital and the emergence of breasts.

Furthermore, it was highly probable that Qiu Jin'er wouldn't be able to succeed even if she intended to teach him the cultivation technique, as the【Nuwa Visualization Art】she would have imparted him would be based on her own attainments, and that would naturally diminish the true prowess of the【Nuwa Visualization Art】. But that wasn't the case for Qiu Jin'er herself as the imperial consort had imparted her attainments in the【Nuwa Visualization Art】to Qiu Jinn'er.

It would work the same as Zhong Yue's【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】. He couldn't impart it to the others when even he himself had yet to comprehend the art thoroughly. Even if he had taught it, the others wouldn't be able to grasp the true quintessence of the cultivation technique either.

Which was the sole reason why Xin Huo existed in the first place, as he could impart the inheritors with the true quintessence of the cultivation techniques.

The two of them spent a long time searching for Ao Shanshan in the ocean, but their efforts were in vain. Meanwhile, the cup of tea they had dissolved the drunkenness in their body, the energy of the divine tea and divine wine converged together, and as the passage of time, the benefits of the two drinks were slowly showing.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er's cultivation base grew steadily; they could feel themselves becoming stronger with every second. Furthermore, when Zhong Yue was absorbing the spiritual energy from the two divine drinks, he mixed the spiritual energy with the totem patterns and infused the combination into his bloodline, strengthening his bloodline's power and it seemed like another part of the hidden power in his bloodline was about to awaken!

Another few more droplets of Fuxi divine blood were created and took place in his heart chamber, modifying his heart and impregnated his heart with immense energy; every pounding of his heart would bring about an intense surge of blood essence.

Not only that, but what excited Zhong Yue more was the bloodline and blood essence he could faintly perceive in his Yuan Shen was getting clearer as he absorbed more of the divine tea and divine wine.

If the bloodline emerged within the Yuan Shen, then it would have the ability to control the blood essence in it, hence, allowing it to be stronger in strength, faster in speed, quicker in reaction, and with an exceptional level of control on other skills!

However, the most significant jackpot was something else.

Feng Xiaozhong once said that the sixth wheel of the Sixth Path Reincarnation, the Bloodline Wheel, it was only obtainable when the bloodline of the Yuan Shen and mortal body have merged together!

However, although the bloodline has slowly emerged within Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen and was getting stronger, he still didn’t know how to merge the bloodline of his Yuan Shen and the bloodline of his mortal body together.

The sixth wheel is incredibly important. If Feng Xiaozhong can do it, then I can too!

Zhong Yue thought, The imperial consort said that the sixth path reincarnation is in everyone’s body, what did she mean? Is she saying that there is a complete Six Path of Reincarnation in everyone’s body? Feng Xiaozhong’s words seemed to have conform with her … this madman, what a genius he is!

A long time passed unbeknownst to them, they have reached to the other side of the ocean but Ao Shanshan was still nowhere to be found, no one knew where did the drunken dragon girl go.

“Senior martial brother, is this Senior Martial Sister Ao’s tracks?”

Suddenly, Qiu Jin’er noticed an abnormality in the surroundings and asked, Zhong Yue looked over; there was a mark of a dragon claw on the ground, the claw mark was moistened with water, and there were a few dragon scales and torn clothes scattering around it. Zhong Yue inspected the totem patterns on the dragon scales and identified them belonging to Ao Shanshan’s, he nodded and confirmed, “It’s hers! This crazy girl, she rammed right into the heart of where the Heavenly Monarch lives.”

This wasn't the Divine Jungle, nor the azure ocean; looking from afar, countless mountains were standing tall like soldiers standing at attention, straight and upright piercing into the firmaments as if the mountaintops were touching the stars.

The stars were gigantic and low, their forces of gravity were incredibly strong, it felt like they could just hover in the air without using any arcane energy.

On the stars, some old and ancient celestial temples were built.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er followed Ao Shanshan's trails and found themselves walking toward a magnificent-looking mountain; Zhong Yue lifted his head and looked up. The mountain was dazzling in rays like a flawless jade, it was the closest mountain to them, and there was a star, a planet that connected to it at the mountaintop.

She … can’t possibly be on the plane, is she? Zhong Yue was between laughter and tears as he thought to himself.

All of a sudden, a blunt sound reverberated in the sky, coming from the top of the mountain; Zhong Yue surmised that someone was in a battle and along with Qiu Jin'er, they rushed to the mountaintop. Just as they barely arrived at the top of the mountain, the battle had already ended; Zhong Yue glanced around only to met with a floor of severed body parts, at least a hundred or more Qi Practitioners from different races were slaughtered mercilessly right here.

Xiao Mang Celestial Race….

Zhong Yue’s brows raised in shock and gazed deeply at the sole survivor, the only one standing in the center of the corpses, a dragon-scaled being with three heads and his six eyes filled in killing intent as he looked at Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er — an expert of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race.

"Xiao Mang Celestial Race, Xiao Chushan.

" Zhong Yue inhaled a breath of cold air, rays flashed in his eyes, and he mumbled.

The first time they met was when Feng Shouzhu brought the humans over to contend against the Xiao Mang Celestial Race in the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple; Xiao Chushan was a noble in his race, an expert with high purity of Xiao Mang bloodline and Zuo Xiangsheng’s opponent.

Back then, Xiao Chushan was already at the peak of the Atman Body level, the battle between him and Zuo Xiangsheng was blood-curdling, although Zuo Xiangsheng defeated him, that was only possible as Zuo Xiangsheng's foundation was much stronger than his due to the fire spark of the Shen Ya Celestial Race!

Without the fire spark of the Shen Ya Celestial Race, it was hard to say whether if the outcome would still be the same.

At that point in time, Xiao Chushan was already the strongest Atman body cultivator of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race; so would the Xiao Chushan now be the same as before or would he have broken through the level of Inner Core? But Zuo Xiangsheng had already broken through to the Inner Core level, so Xiao Chushan wouldn't be much slower either!

Killing intent flashed across Xiao Chushan's eyes. He said frigidly,

"Zhong Shan Clan's Zhong Yue, and the little girl of the Qiu Tan Clan. What a coincidence, I've just finished my warm up and you two little bugs couldn't wait any longer for your death, coming straight into my hands. The two of you are the ones that are responsible for the fiasco of the Xiao Mang Celestial Race; and now, fate took a sharp turn and karma struck you right in the face, wouldn't I be a presumptuous brat if I've declined such a great offer from the heavens?

"

Zhong Yue laughed out loud. He alluded Qiu Jin'er to stepped back while he replied leisurely,

"Xiao Chushan, Hall Master Zuo's defeated opponent, a mere petty child. Have you even cultivated to the Inner Core level?

"

Xiao Chushan walked forward, he was indifferent, “Even the strongest in the Warrior Board is a weak as a chicken to me, why do I even need to use the inner core to kill you? If I’ve used any slight surge of inner core to kill you, I’ll strip off my name as a Xiao Mang Celestial Race!”

Krong——

Suddenly, he raised his hand and slammed down on Zhong Yue, concomitant with the strike was a sudden burst of moonlight and a loud sound of water. It was as if there was a moon emerging in the sky out of thin air, the lunar water formed into a river and carried the moon from beneath.

Zhong Yue also raised his hand and slammed over with the vigorously burning sun fire shrouding his hand while a sun emerged and opted for the moon.

The earth quaked and the rocks crumbled, Xiao Chushan's huge body was launched back and crashed tens of miles deep into the mountain rocks, leaving behind a seemingly endless hole with white steam. Zhong Yue's sun fire was too immense that it vaporized the lunar water and the moon, even smelting the mountain rocks away!

Zhong Yue kept his hand back and looked into the hole,

"Xiao Chushan, don't brag in front of me. Show your inner core, or otherwise, it wouldn't be exciting at all to kill you in a strike or two.

"

“Little rascal, as you wish!”

The mountain cracked open, and a dazzling light ray rose above the clouds, one after another, three inner cores hovered in mid-air revolving around a three-headed celestial being.

Xiao Chushan clenched at the haft of a spear and pointed it at Zhong Yue in immense killing intent!

He has three heads and thus, allowing him to have three inner cores!

The inner cores looked like three bright moons, one that controls the dimension, and another controls the mortal body and the third controls the Yuan Shen!
