Chapter 415 - No Tracks, No Trails
Gu Hongzi was still in shock. Little did he know that Zhong Yue could only break the seals away because Xin Huo that told him what to do.
Despite the Xiao Mang grand ancestor being a strong demon god, he was still no match to Xin Huo in terms of depth and breadth of knowledge. Clearing the seals he had placed was no more difficult than clearing Lord Bai\'s seals.
Zhong Yue turned into the image of Feng Wuji and strode down. The sides of the tunnel were also engraved with many seals, but these seals were not meant for the intruders. The whole mountain body was a consolidated seal that blockaded every path to prevent the moon god from escaping!
The Xiao Mang grand ancestor had indeed poured incredible efforts to devour and claim the powers of this yet-to-form innate god!
"Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi, there is one thing I need to tell you: The Xiao Mang grand ancestor\'s mortal body underground is strong … really strong."
Zhong Yue transmitted his voice to Gu Hongzi and said, "We cannot let our guards down, we have to leave immediately after taking that lady away. Otherwise, if the Xiao Mang grand ancestor\'s spirit awakens and casts his mortal body, we will never be able to leave here anymore!"
However, Gu Hongzi answered calmly, "There is no need for that. Just a godly spirit, without his people worshipping him, how strong can he be? My Yuan Shen has also coalesced with a godly spirit, as long as he doesn\'t have his people worshipping him, I have no fear of him."
“This Xiao Mang grand ancestor is the one who dug the moon and stole the moon core.”
Zhong Yue warned, "The moon spirit is on the brink of turning into an innate god, but he has imprisoned her beside his mortal body. This time, what I\'m going to steal is this moon god."
Gu Hongzi\'s heart skipped a beat, and a cold chill traveled down his spine. Dug the moon, stole the moon core and imprisoned the moon god; such means were nothing the true gods could have done, let alone him!
Zhong Yue then said, "The Xiao Mang grand ancestor isn\'t dead yet, he is utilizing the innate god\'s essence to nourish and preserve his mortal body. The innate gods have endless time to live. Their lives end when the heaven and earth end. He is using the moon god\'s essence to preserve his mortal body from dying. While his spirit is in the moon, taking the moon god\'s place and receive the worship of the livings. I\'m guessing that he is trying to reverse his life form from the postnatal to innate, turning himself into an innate demon god!"
Gu Hongzi sucked in a deep breath of cold air, and he nodded heavily. He then suddenly sighed and said, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, are you always so … so…"
He mulled and said, "Do you always court disaster? I thought that I was daring enough already. But after traveling with you these few days, even I feel frightened for my life."
Zhong Yue laughed and replied, "It is not that dangerous. After all, we came prepared, while the Xiao Mang Celestial Race was unaware of anything at all. Our chance of success is high. We know that we are here for the moon god, but the Xiao Mang grand ancestor will never expect this at all. Thus, if we immediately run after stealing her, there is a higher chance we will succeed."
Gu Hongzi shook his head. He had fought with Shi Buyi, abused Zhu Yushan right outside of the Feng Gu City with utter disregard and even chased him all the way to the West Barren. He already thought that those feats were audacious enough. Yet, this Junior Martial Brother Zhong was even more daring to think about snatching the moon god away from the Xiao Mang grand ancestor\'s!
But what was most important was that Zhong Yue was not acting rashly; everything had been well-planned out by him beforehand.
Back then, Zhong Yue had always acted on his own will, and Gu Hongzi would often have to clean up the messes he made, clearing the tracks and trails he had left behind. But now, Zhong Yue had matured enough to clean up the aftermath of the messes he made while executing his absurd plans that not even Gu Hongzi could even think of.
Junior Martial Brother Zhong has grown up. He does not fail the expectations that the old man had of him.
Gu Hongzi thought of Feng Shang, and his heart turned bitter, Old man, you\'ve left us way too early, you missed the chance to witness Junior Martial Brother Zhong\'s success. But that\'s fine by you, isn\'t it? It is enough to witness this from the heavens…
Zhong Yue was oblivious to Gu Hongzi\'s thoughts, he was still waking forward, and moments later, lights shone right at their faces. They had walked into a spacious room, the huge moon core was hovering in mid-air, and it was emanating the bright silvery lights that billowed like water waves!
The crystalline moon core was pure, and some of the silver rays were flowing inside of the moon core, revolving around a beautiful lady whose eyes were tightly closed and her status unknown.
If she were to be described by words, ‘beautiful\' could barely do her justice. Those other ladies out there in the world: Qiu Jin\'er, Jun Sixie, Tian Mo Concubine, Demon Queen and every other lady, although breathtakingly beautiful in their own right, always had at least one or two tiny flaws.
But this young lady in the moon core was flawless as if the whole world had sacrificed everything to ensure her perfection.
The image that the world had of the moon spirit had always been that of a consummately beautiful woman. Over time, as they continued to worship the moon with this image in mind, the moon spirit became endowed with what the world considered to be perfection — flawless and unblemished.
Zhong Yue had seen her once and was awed before. But even when looking at her for the second time, he still couldn\'t help but feel amazed. No specific could describe the lady\'s appearance, not even the part of her beauty that is only skin-deep.
While in this spacious room, there wasn\'t only the moon core and the young lady; there was also the gigantic Pan Ao heads biting at the moon core as they siphoned away from the moon god\'s essence!
They were the heads of the Xiao Mang grand ancestor’s mortal body!
HIs mortal body here was left in this spacious room to slowly refine the moon god!
Gu Hongzi was stunned as he looked at it, they had finally reached the place that the moon spirit was imprisoned in.
All of a sudden, Zhong Yue’s heart stiffened up. There was a Xiao Mang Qi Practitioner in this place, a white-haired elder that sat above the moon core, siphoning the moon essences to refine his moon spirit Yuan Shen!
Gu Hongzi then noticed the elder, and he was shocked, A magnate!
The elder startled as he also noticed Zhong Yue, he then asked, “My high priest, how are you so free to come?”
“Am I not allowed to?”, Zhong Yue smiled.
He strode forward and said with a smile, “How is your cultivation progress? There is no need to stand up, forget the formalities. I’m just here to take a look.”
The white-haired elder then quickly smiled and responded, “Thank you for the high priest’s concerns, I’m … Why is your cultivation base so weak? You are not the high priest! Who are you!?”
Right at the moment he stood up, Zhong Yue\'s light wheels emerged and Gu Hongzi dashed out like a flash of lightning. He reached the front of the elder and pushed his hands out heavily, striking at the elder\'s chest!
Immediately, the elder\'s chest burst out, and blood sprinkled over the ground. The strike penetrated through his body and sent him flying back.
The elder bellowed furiously, the Pan Ao heads extruded out from his neck, but before he could do anything, Gu Hongzi launched another strike. The monster magnate\'s golden wings spread out and slashed down like two golden sabers, cutting down two of the elder\'s Pan Ao heads and also severing his two arms.
Gu Hongzi then launched a kick. His leg turned into a 1000-feet long monster god\'s claw that clenched onto the elder\'s chest, crushing away the elder\'s heart!
Meanwhile, as the two magnates engaged in a battle, Zhong Yue cast out the copper lamp from his Yuan Shen secret realms!
With the copper lamp was also the half lotus saint herb that he was reluctant to use, he had always been keeping it as a life-saving means.
However, this wasn\'t a time for him to hesitate at all. He quickly opened the lamp lid and consumed all of the lotus saint herb, converting all of it into pure energy before channeling it into the copper lamp.
In the copper lamp, the galactic stars started to turn, and an appalling gravitational force burst out and started sucking the moon core toward the copper lamp.
Creak——
The sounds of creaking resounded through the spacious room and the whole moon core, along with the moon god inside it was sucked into the copper lamp.
As the moon core was forcibly pulled out from the fangs of the three Pan Ao heads, many deep trenches were scraped across the moon core\'s surface!
Just how strong was the moon core?
Zhong Yue tried slashing the Bright Moon Mirror which was forged from the moon core. However, even with a divine weapon like the Golden Peng Sword, not a single impression was left on the Bright Moon Mirror!
On the other hand, the Pan Ao fangs effortlessly scraped countless tracts on the moon core. One could really infer how strong the Xiao Mang grand ancestor was!
Zhong Yue immediately closed the lamp lid after the moon core was sucked into the copper lamp. He then turned right away and flew out from the spacious room while shouting out loud, "Senior martial brother, let\'s go now!"
Gu Hongzi flashed over from the back and entered Zhong Yue\'s Yuan Shen secret realms. Zhong Yue then strode forward into the tunnel and started his journey to escape.
His hands were moving quickly, clearing the seals away as he tried to get out!
At this moment, the spacious room then started to tremble, and the dimensional space became disrupted as the three Pan Ao heads opened its eyes, looking at the surroundings in puzzlement.
Three pairs of eyes then slowly filled with anger, and a terrifying air suffused through the underground, and as three loud roars came from the three Pan Ao heads, the spacious room broke like mirrors and became sucked into the void!
Zhong Yue felt an earth-shaking wave come from the underground, and cold beads of sweat immediately burst out on his forehead. He surged out the eight arms and began clearing the seals with all his might!
Right when the soundwave was about to hit him, Zhong Yue managed to break through the seals and sprinted right out!
Just as he flew out from the supreme celestial temple, the grand building exploded into pieces!
As Zhong Yue was still in the air, plunging down into the many celestial temples beneath him, he changed his appearance from that of Feng Wuji to Xiao Chuzheng.
He then flitted across the celestial temples, and as he brushed shoulders with a white-robed priest along the way, he then turned into the white-robed priest\'s appearances as he strode down the mountain.
Meanwhile, Feng Wuji and Sha Qishan lunged into the sky and rushed toward the supreme celestial temple. But as they had reached the ruins of the supreme temple, Zhong Yue was already at the foot of the mountain. While countless Xiao Mang experts were swarming toward the supreme celestial temple, the whole celestial race had become plunged in a state of chaos and disorder.
Zhong Yue moved behind a towering tree and changed his form again into the Gou She Celestial Race, appearing as a snake with hooks all around its body as he drilled into the ground and left the underground.
In just a few breath\'s time, he had reached 10,000 feet deep into the ground and moved freely around.
This was the talent of the Gou She Celestial Race, being able to freely navigate underground freely like a fish in the water and a bird in the sky!
Zhong Yue traveled for over a few thousand miles of distance, and as he left the Xiao Mang Celestial Race\'s territory, he immediately unburrowed from the ground and turned into the four-armed Shan Shen Qi Practitioner with no face, four arms and an eye on each palm. He then strode casually in the territory of the Shan Shen Celestial Race as he was moving away from the Xiao Mang Celestial Race.
After he exited the Shan Shen Celestial Race, he turned into the four-winged snake as he entered the territory of the Ming She Celestial Race. Flying into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
A few thousand miles away in the Xiao Mang Celestial Race, a giant three-headed Pan Ao rose from the saint mountain. Light beams shot out from its six eyes as it scanned everywhere across the sky and earth, intently searching for the tracks of the other ‘Feng Wuji\'!
