“No!”

Xiao Chushan clenched at the spear's haft as firmly as he could and did all he could to resist Zhong Yue's strength .

Zhong Yue's arms then continued to hold onto the spear one after another, until all eight of his arms were on the spear . With a sudden burst of force, Xiao Chushan was pushed back relentlessly, Bang Bang Bang—— stones cracked beneath his feet with every step he backward he was forced to take . Soon, he stopped as his back hit against the wall of the mountain .  

Despair filled with his eyes, while Zhong Yue lunged all eight arms and sent the spear into Xiao Chushan's last surviving head, Chi——

“Zhong Yue … you will not end well… . ”

Glaring at Zhong Yue, Xiao Chushan gravely said while spurted blood out of his mouth like arrows . "The priests in our Xiao Mang Celestial Race will find out your hidden secrets, and you will die a miserable death!"

"Allow me to send you on your way with this last thrust of the spear into your head . You're welcome . "

Zhong Yue faced squarely with the Xiao Mang expert and whispered before completely shoving the spear through Xiao Chushan's head .

"As for the Xiao Mang Celestial Temple priests, that's no longer any of your business!"

Zhong Yue pulled out the spear and watched as Xiao Chushan's headless corpse laid against the mountain rocks . The body became limp like a ragdoll as it crumpled to the ground, with blood streaming out of it in rivulets .

Qiu Jin’er quickly stepped forward and said softly, “Senior martial brother, your wounds… . ”

“It’s no big deal . ”

Zhong Yue quivered the spear clean of blood before keeping it in his Yuan Shen secret realm, he picked out the willow leaf and reached his hand out, surging the arcane energy over and collected Xiao Chushan’s broken inner cores into his hand .

"What a pity, the totem patterns on the inner core have shattered, it seems like it's not possible to extract the cultivation technique for the three inner cores . "

Zhong Yue sighed, he kept the inner core fragments and said, “Junior martial sister, let’s go . ”

Qiu Jin'er quickly followed behind . She hesitated for a moment before she finally mustered her courage and said, "Senior martial brother, Xiao Chushan said that you are Long Yue… . "

…

The entrance, beneath the void rift, stood three huge boards, Greenhorn Board, Warrior Board, and the Godlike Board . All three boards were collectively known as the Lang Ya Board, and as of now, a small change that no one happened to notice occurred in the Warrior Board . A name was wiped off from the list – Xiao Chushan's name .

Below the three boards were the countless Qi Practitioners, some just revived and some were recuperating their wounds, all of them were here preparing themselves for their next trip for the heavenly Monarch Residence .

All of a sudden, the Warrior Board dazzled in with radiant rays, attracting the attention of the innumerable Qi Practitioners . They lifted their head up and looked over — Zhong Yue's name, ranked first in the Warrior Board was shining brightly, its radiance pierced through the clouds and in the next second as the rays suddenly dimmed down . His name could no longer be seen in the Warrior Board!

“That Zhong Shan Clan member’s name is gone!”

A commotion struck the crowd, countless Qi Practitioners searched throughout the whole Warrior Board from top to bottom and the bottom to top, but Zhong Yue's name was nowhere to be found, someone exclaimed in shock, "Is the Sword Demon dead?"

“Slaughtering Demon is killed in the heavenly Monarch Residence? Even the Lang Ya Board couldn’t revive him!”

“Hahaha, this Slaughtering Demon must have infiltrated into a forbidden place that was beyond the Lang Ya Board's power, not even the Lang Ya Board can save him!"

“Praise the heaven!”

Right when the discussions were ongoing and were getting more fervid, the Godlike Board suddenly dazzled in bright rays, a name appeared on the bottom of the list, ranked last in the Godlike Board .

Those with sharp eyes immediately identified the name, their eyes filled in disbelief, stammered with their mouths agape as they spoke, “Zhong Yue… . ”

It has a long time before the Godlike Board had a new name, and this time, it was from the weakest race of all – the human race!

There were only three thousand names at most listed in the Godlike Board, for the past fifty thousand years, just fewer than three thousand Qi Practitioners were recognized by the Lang Ya Board to have the potential to ascend to the level of gods . And now, a new name, a new candidate had been added to the list!

This was definitely a catastrophic piece of news to the other races, a world-shaking event that all the other barrens would shudder in fear of!

Stunned and shocked, the Qi Practitioners stared dumbfounded at the Godlike Board, those that claimed Zhong Yue had died blushed red in embarrassment . Thankfully, the majority of the Qi Practitioners did the same thing, and so their individual humiliation was lessened to some extent .

“What on earth did this Zhong Shan Clan member did that pushed him to the Godlike Board?” A Qi Practitioner mumbled .

"That Zhong Shan Clan member's words came true . He did come out of the Warrior Board and entered the Godlike Board, leaving behind the first place for Xia Shengchu and the others… . "

“I wonder what will be their reactions when Xia Shengchu and the others knew about this . ”

However, as of now, Xia Shengchu and the others were still exploring the heavenly Monarch Residence; they were unaware of what happened in the Lang Ya Board . Zhong Yue was also oblivious to everything that had just transpired there as well .

What a pity we couldn't acquire the cultivation technique that allowed Xiao Chushan to acquire three inner cores . These three inner cores control the dimension, Yuan Shen, and mortal body . Xiao Chushan must've just cultivated it and couldn't unleash their true prowess .

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er continued walking up the mountain, the planet above them seemed to be so close that they could literally touch it with their hands . Such an awe-inspiring view could never be seen on the Ancestral Star .

Qiu Jin'er was still in shock as Zhong Yue admitted that he was Long Yue . The news was too shocking, Long Yue . . . East Barren overlord . . . Shi Buyi's closed-door disciple . A young dragon from the Eastern Sea, the brightest star of the monster race, and the one that was revered as one of the Twin Yue's alongside Zhong Yue himself . He was none other than Zhong Yue himself!?

A mysterious man… .  She furtively glanced at Zhong Yue and thought in her heart .

Zhong Yue took out Xiao Chushan's inner core fragments and tried to comprehend the totem patterns on them . All of a sudden, he remembered something, Xin Huo kept saying that the divine third eye could see through the mists and reach to the essence . It's the best tool to attain insights; I wonder if this divine third eye can help me in comprehending the totem patterns?

A small, slit eye socket appeared on his forehead, and the divine third eye emerged within, Zhong Yue closed his naked eyes and only looked with his divine third eye . Studying the totem patterns on Xiao Chushan's inner core fragments, he found that the totem patterns were now much easier to comprehend . Lines seemed to even appear in his vision trying to reconnect the broken totem patterns .

Such an incredible divine third eye, but the totem patterns are too scarce . It's impossible to attain the whole cultivation technique for the three inner cores .

Zhong Yue sighed, he kept the inner core fragments and all of a sudden, Xin Huo said, "The cultivation technique for these three inner cores is called the【Mystic Duplication Technique】 . Of the three inner cores, one is the true core, while the other two are replicas . This is a god-level cultivation technique . I never thought that I would see it here . "

Zhong Yue heard him and asked, “Xin Huo, you know this【Mystic Duplication Technique】?”

Xin Huo answered, "I've seen it before . An inheritor I once had was very fond of this mystic technique, he has acquired it and did some research . I was there the whole time and knew more than little about it; I must say, this is quite an above average mystic technique . This Xiao Mang Celestial Race expert is only an amateur, he didn't even grasp the quintessence of this mystic technique, his knowledge on this cultivation technique is superficial; or otherwise, you wouldn't stand a chance at all . The true【Mystic Duplication Technique】can even have three Yuan Shen when the cultivator is in the level of Heavenly Dharma . This can greatly boost one's prowess and cultivation base . Not only that, but through the three Yuan Shen, the cultivator can acquire his second and third mortal body — this is why it is called a mystic technique . "

An awestruck Zhong Yue exclaimed in shock, “What? One true and two false mortal bodies? Wouldn’t it be like three of me then? Is this【Mystic Duplication Technique】so strong?”

Xin Huo shook his head, "Of course not, those aren't the real you . The emulations of inner cores, Yuan Shen and mortal bodies that emerged will only have thirty to forty percent of your strength . "

Zhong Yue understood; he had noticed this point earlier when he fought with Xiao Chushan . This was why he targeted the two weaker inner cores first before dealing with the final one .

“Xin Huo … this【Mystic Duplication Technique】 . . . . ”

Zhong Yue stammered as he spoke, “Can you … teach me?”

Unexpectedly, Xin Huo was quick and direct, "Sure . "

Zhong Yue was stunned, then joy and surprise engulfed him, he couldn't trust his ears and asked again with wide eyes, " "Really? Xin Huo, you aren't joking?"

All this while, Xin Huo had only thought him the【Sui Sovereign Flame Order Palace Visualization Art】and although at times, Xin Huo would lend a hand or two in his cultivation progress, he had never received a second cultivation technique or any other profound skill . Despite that, Zhong Yue never held this against Xin Huo . After all, he wasn't the pureblood Fuxi Celestial that Xin Huo was looking for . Moreover, the Fuxi Celestial blood in his body was so faint and weak that it was nearly imperceptible . Xin Huo would only take in a pureblood Fuxi Celestial as his inheritor . It simply wasn't Xin Huo's responsibility to nurture Zhong Yue .

Even more, Xin Huo has been incredibly kind to even lend him a hand in his cultivation progress and to pull him back from death numerous times .

And so, Zhong Yue never thought that Xin Huo would accept his request and teach him the【Mystic Duplication Technique】, the joy had tossed him over the sky!

Xin Huo piqued and said in anger, “What makes you think that I want to fool around with you? You want to learn or no?”

Zhong Yue quickly nodded like a chicken pecking in the dirt, "Learn, of course, I want to learn it!"

Xin Huo suddenly went dead quiet and surged out psyche, conveying the quintessence of the【Mystic Duplication Technique】into Zhong Yue's mind . In Zhong Yue's psyche ocean, his Yuan Shen sat in the lotus position and focused on comprehending the【Mystic Duplication Technique】 . Suddenly, Zhong Yue noticed that the little flame was restless with anxiety, flying around above the sky in the psyche ocean while mumbling to himself, Zhong Yue was curious of what happened to the little flame that made him so fretful?

What is going on with Xin Huo? Zhong Yue was puzzled .

After a few moments, the little flame calmed himself down and went into Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen secret realm, sitting quietly in the center of his tattered copper lamp .

“Xin Huo?” Zhong Yue probed .

Xin Huo gave a nod as he responded, he then said after a few moments of silence, "Brat Yue, you are excellent, very, very excellent … in comparison to all the previous inheritors I've met in the past, you are exceptional . You are more hard-working, focused, and braver than your predecessors . Your contributions and dedications for the uprise of the human race have moved me greatly . The thought of designating you as the inheritor has crossed my mind more than once . "

The little flame stopped for a few seconds, and continued placidly, "But out there, somewhere in this universe, there are other pureblood Fuxi Celestials … but you are not a part of them, nor will you ever be . Otherwise, I would have chosen you long before . However, from here on out, I'll teach you more techniques and skills you will need… . "

Zhong Yue was surprised and overjoyed, but at the same time, he was also puzzled, What is wrong with Xin Huo? Why is he so emotional today?”

The little flame was in his own world sitting in the copper lamp as his mind was entangled in his thoughts, That imperial consort said, I couldn't find the one I'm looking for even in the Zi Wei Divine Court . A noble like her wouldn't utter words of nonsense, so what if I really can't find the one I need in the Zi Wei Divine Court, then … the Fuxi Celestial Race will have no more inheritors, and all of the inheritance from the Fire Order Sui Sovereign era would eventually be lost to time… .

Brat Yue isn't a pureblood Fuxi Celestial, the burden of revitalizing the Fuxi Celestial Race shouldn't be his to bear . It is too dangerous for him, and it is unfair to give such a responsibility to a mere human . He is not the right choice . But he is in fact, the only option I have at this point in time… .

I can't give him the heritage of the Heavenly Monarchs . . . not yet, not until we've reached the Zi Wei Divine Court, and if there really isn't a pureblood Fuxi Celestial that I can find, then he will be the Fuxi Celestial Race's last hope… .

Zi Wei Divine Court . . . can I really find what I am looking for there?
