Chapter 648 - Tian Shi, Tian Ting

“An experimental field for the Six Paths of Reincarnation?”

The hearts of the Qi Practitioners from the Left Fang Galaxy thumped and Zhong Yue was even more shocked; the news that this place originated from the Earth Order Era deeply shook him!

The news was so groundshaking that even Xin Huo who was slumbering in Zhong Yue’s sunfire couldn't help but listen to whatever Bi and An had to say with rapture .

However, Xin Huo was still fused with the sunfire to prevent himself from being found out .

“Xin Huo, did the Six Paths Reincarnation appear before you fell into your slumber?” Zhong Yue asked .

“No,” replied Xin Huo without hesitation, “This probably happened after I went into slumber . The appearance of the Six Paths Reincarnation is definitely related to the downfall of the Fuxi Celestial Race! The question is, who created the Six Paths Reincarnation? Is he one of the Fuxi or the other sovereign races? The soul-oriented skills probably appeared during that time too . We must take a look at this experimental field… Shit!”

In a blink of an eye, Xin Huo became completely silent .

At the same time, Zhong Yue felt a wave of energy sweep across the plaza; the energy was abnormally strong, and after scanning across the plaza, it vanished as if it were never there!

Beside the throne of the Realm Lord, the Heavenly King Shang asked one of his subordinates, “Tian Ting, what is this rudeness about?”

The person that swiped across the plaza with his energy was a general called Tian Ting, the latter bowed and apologized, “Apologies my lord, I heard something unusual, it felt like something had hidden itself within the Qi Practitioners, and so I scanned the plaza in search of it . ”

“I see . ” Heavenly King Shang turned to the Realm Lord and said, “Realm Lord, my subordinate picked up a minor abnormality . Please forgive him for his rudeness . However, I think that there will be no waves without wind so I suppose that it’d fine if they checked around?”

“No worries, please go ahead . ”

The Realm Lord replied, “It is also part of your duty, Heavenly King Shang . If you feel the need for an inspection, please proceed freely so long you find out the hidden dangers around here . ”

“Excuse me . ” Heavenly King Shang said, and he pointed at another general, “Tian Shi, have a look . ”

“Yes, my lord . ”

That general called Tian Shi and nodded . A huge eye ball appeared at the top of his back before he looked at the direction where Zhong Yue stood!

“Tian Jue, check for any unusual movements, I suppose any abnormalities will not escape your senses easily . ” Heavenly King Shang ordered to another female general . ”

The female general nodded and closed her eyes . Her psyche engulfed the entire plaza, inspecting the movements of the Qi Practitioners as she covered the surroundings like a net .

“Tian Ming, dive into their life force and check if there is something hidden in it, if there really is something, it will affect the life force of the host and you will find that hidden thing in no time . ” Heavenly King Shang ordered to another female general again .

With a nod, Tian Ming executed the orders of Heavenly King Shang .

Countless hands emerged from Tian Ming’s back, stretching out the fingers while millions of invisible threads flew around, forming a net that shrouded the plaza as Tian Ming started executing her orders .

“Tian Hun, check their souls,” Heavenly King Shang continued ordering his generals .

“Tian Gan, pay attention to the heaven and earth’s movements . ”

The eight generals of Heavenly King Shang all performed their duties verbatim . After a few moments, they all ceased casting their skills and Tian Shi reported, “My lord, there is indeed something abnormal happening in the plaza . But it is lifeless, breathless, senseless, mute, with no soul, and cannot be seen . ”

The ‘abnormal’ Tian Shi was referring to was of course Xin Huo . Even though they failed to detect him, they still managed to perceive some remnants of his existence .

Heavenly King Shang frowned and murmured in surprise, “Hmmm… strange… Why would there be such things in the Prison Realm?”

“Should we check again?” asked Tian Shi .

“No…” answered Heavenly King Shang, “If you couldn’t find it just now, you won't be able to find it out even if you tried another time . Judging from what you said, this thing might be something without life, probably some kind of relic from the ancient ruins, just let it be . ”

Then, the Realm Lord turned around and asked, “Heavenly King Shang, is everything alright?”

Heavenly King Shang then explained what happened to the Realm Lord, and the Realm Lord said, “Then it’s a dead object? Seems like you are overthinking, Heavenly King Shang . ”

“I’m afraid so . ” Heavenly King Shang laughed and said, “But it is probably some unique item . ”

“A unique item of our Prison Realm . ” added the Realm Lord .

The two gods then smiled at each other, exchanging glance before looking elsewhere .

The Realm Lord then thought, No wonder he was willing to create such a fuss… Being able to attract Heavenly King Shang, such a treasure must be exceptionally interesting… But it belongs to the Prison Realm . So how dare you try to lay your fingers on it? This treasure belongs to one of them down there in the plaza and it will definitely be used once it’s host enters the Ancient Land of the God Graves . It’s fine if it’s just some ordinary item but if it really is an ancient relic, then I must get it for myself .

On the other hand, Zhong Yue let out a long breath; when the eight generals tried to dig out Xin Huo, his body, soul, Yuan Shen and other aspects were searched thoroughly by them and he even felt that one of these generals was trying to calculate his fate!

Whether it be any race, each and every living creature have their own life and fate decided at the moment of their birth . But all of this can be altered as they come across with new things, new people and new knowledge .

For example, if Zhong Yue hadn’t run into Xin Huo, his fate would have remained as that of a mediocre Qi Practitioner . He would live a rather dull life of cultivation before dying and returning to dust . But now, his life had changed drastically after crossing paths with Xin Huo . The miraculous feats that Zhong Yue had performed back in the Ancestral Star would have definitely raised some suspicions, given his background .

But fortunately for Zhong Yue, he was an outside to this Six Paths World, thus, making everything about him to be untraceable .

Thank god Xin Huo is good at hiding or else… .

He sighed again, These guys were already alerted when Xin Huo merely showed himself for just a brief moment… . Seems like I musn’t let him out or we will be in hot water!

There were just too many people with strange yet unique abilities and with the special traits, these eight generals almost managed to dig out Xin Huo!

Although Zhong Yue himself was pretty good at divination, he barely had any experience in divining one’s fate; if that Tian Ming divined his fate, Zhong Yue would have been caught if he tried to repel her divination with his own .

And he was lucky enough that this goddess Tian Ming did not find out that he was from the first Six Paths World or things would have taken a sour turn .

Every race has their own advantages, I mustn't underestimate them! Zhong Yue carved this warning into his heart .

Whether that ruler that conducted the experiment was a Fuxi or not, Zhong Yue did not know . There were eight great sovereign races back in that era, and the Fuxi were just one of them . Among the kings and rulers of the universe back in the ancient days, there were also people from the other races, but Fuxi Celestial Race had the highest number of rulers .

Thus, this relic might have belonged to a ruler from the Fuxi Celestial Race or the other races .

“All we know about the Ancient Land of the God Graves is purely from hearsay . ”

After noticing what the eight generals were doing, Bi kept quiet and the generals stopped, he continued explaining with a serious expression, “This place is shrouded in mysteries with countless dangers lurking within . Rumours said that the ruler of the Earth Order Era created the Six Paths Reincarnation and completed the art of soul and Dao of soul before he started his research . It was also said that this place was just one of his many experimental fields out there . ”

An then added, “Among the living beings in the Six Paths World, including the Realm Lords and Monarchs, no one has ever seen how the ancient rulers created the Six Paths World . Everyone born into the Six Paths Worlds know nothing about how their worlds formed and lack deep understanding on the art of soul . This means that if we managed to uncover the secrets hidden within these ancient remains, there is a high possibility that we will benefit greatly . But places like the Ancient Land of the God Graves are extremely dangerous and not many managed to walk out alive . ”

“Besides, the Ancient Land of the God Graves had become a forbidden land because of the terrifying energy field that suppresses the power of those who enter . ”

Bi continued softly, “The higher your cultivation, the stronger the suppression . Upon entering this place, those gods might be suppressed to a level weaker than ordinary Qi Practitioners, which results in a very high death rate . If someone on the same level as the Realm Lord has their strength reduced to somewhere around our level . Heh, there were cases where Realm Lords lost their lives here . The reason why they chose this arena was most likely no so simple as deciding on the ten victors . ”

Everyone’s heart pumped quicker upon hearing this and Reverse Emperor said coldly, “The Realm Lord and Heavenly King Shang are planning to explore the Ancient Land of the God Graves through our hands . Instead of losing something, they will only profit even if we die . ”

Bi and An nodded and said again, “Besides, they said there is this secret called the blood ritual . If a certain amount of people lose their lives here, an emperor level existence could possibly gain a chance to enter this place without suppression . Our assumptions are that the Realm Lord is trying to achieve this . Anyhow, we are still being exploited and used by them?”

Meanwhile on the platform, the officer that made the announcement waved his hand and countless tokens flew into the hands of the many Qi Practitioners .

Everyone then branded the tokens, and names started to appear on them . Apart from that, an eye also formed on the token, giving it a very sinister look .

Zhong Yue examined the token carefully; the material used in making the token was very unique and strange; after branding the token, he could feel that some kind of bond between him and the token was formed .

Other than that, he even felt that the eye on the token contained some kind of teleportation array that can be used to pinpoint his location .

What a strange eye .

Zhong Yue looked at the weird eye on the token while the eye looked back at him; he poked the eye and the eye closed up because of the pain as it started tearing up .

“Human, have you not seen such items in your life?”

When he noticed this scene, Reverse Emperor said coldly, “This eye is the eye of a soul beast . Once the soul beasts grow into a certain stage, we will harvest their eyes, carve various totem carvings onto them before fusing them into these tokens . ”

Right away, Jun Sixie and the others felt a chill rush down their spines; with so many Qi Practitioners here, just how many soul beasts had to be killed to harvest their eyes? God knew how many of these beasts were killed every time there was a competition like this one .

“Thanks for telling me . By the way, we all come from the Left Fang Galaxy, and I think we should team up . Anyone in?” Zhong Yue proposed .

However, he received a cold shoulder from everyone .

“No,” Li Tianxing replied without hesitation .

Concubine Han on the other hand said with a disgusted tone, “There are strong ones like us in the other galaxies, and I will have a higher chance of winning when more of the Left Fang Galaxy’s participants are killed . ”

“We brothers don’t need help . ” Bi and An said at the same time after exchanging a glance .

Zhen Yao put up a cold face and said, “I do not want to bring along burdens with me . I can team up with you but the three of them beside you have to get out of my way . ”

Zhong Yue frowned upon this and when he looked at Reverse Emperor, the latter laughed and rejected, “I am very determined to kill you . The humiliation you gave me can only be washed away with your blood!”

Zhong Yue sighed and said with a bored tone, “To be honest, we came from the same place and I really don’t want to kill you guys . You better pray that you won’t run into me or else!”

Immediately, the others looked at him with scorn, and Zhong Yue burst out laughing .

Suddenly, the courtyard trembled as it flew towards a huge black hole after the gods on duties lifted up their hand, released powerful energy that lifted this entire courtyard into the air .

And outside of the black hole was bright light that shined brighter than the sun .

Tian means Heaven .
