Chapter 117

"No demon can be trusted. The only one I can rely on is myself. Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei are monsters with strong backgrounds, I don't have a strong enough background.

Rays flashed across Zhong Yue's eyes, he knew how unreliable his identity as a dragon was, Awakening Qi Practitioners are too strong, the Awakening level is just one level higher than the Rebirth level, and that Lian Shan giant rhinoceros was already so strong with only the Wu Xing Wheel. I still need to improve my prowess, otherwise, I won't even stand a chance in front of an Awakening Qi Practitioner!

The Awakening level was the level of the Qi Practitioners with the greatest difference in prowess, it was also the most important level. It required the cultivator to open the five great secret realms in the atman and obtain the power in the secret realms to cultivate the Combat Yuan Shen. Now, Zhong Yue had finally witnessed the power of the Combat Yuan Shen.

The level of Rebirth and Awakening was only one level apart, it was too difficult to fight against an Awakening Qi Practitioner.

However, he could see a glimmer of hope, he had two spirits in him, the strongest sun spirit and moon spirit. After the Rebirth level cultivates the [Soul as One], it would be a long and arduous process to strengthen the atman and eventually cultivate the Awakening Qi Practitioner.

He was only at the initial stage of the Rebirth level, his atman was only a foot tall, and when his atman reached the height of twenty feet, he would be able to cultivate the Combat Yuan Shen.

As his atman continued to grow, his cultivation base would continue to increase, and he might even be able to fight against an Awakening Qi Practitioner at the peak of the Rebirth level!

Half a day later, the skiff arrived at the Xian Kong Saint City, Zhong Yue gazed at the sacred ground of the East Barren monster race from afar, and he was shocked.

The Xian Kong Saint City was different from the others, it was completely different from the Swords Gate. The saint city was built on top of a black mountain, and eight hundred miles around the saint city, there were thick chains hanging down from the top of the city, landing on the waist of the mountain.

On the waist of the black mountain, there were many mountains, the peaks of these mountains were shaved off by someone, and there were eight cities built on top of these mountains, a total of eight hundred miles.

These smaller cities were also locked down by chains. Eight chains hung down from the sky and landed on the mountain peaks at the foot of the black mountain. There were 64 mountains and 64 chains.

Each of the chains was thick, interlocking with each other, and on the chains, one could vaguely see the traces of totem carvings.

"Brother Long Yue, is this the first time you came to Xian Kong Saint City?"

Hu Qimei looked at Zhong Yue's expression, she was, after all, a lady with a meticulous mind. She noticed something was amiss, she smiled and said, "Xian Kong Saint City, this is the array formation of the Eight Extremities Demon God Suppression, the devil souls are being suppressed under the black mountain of this saint city."

"Devil soul?"

Even with Zhong Yue's mental fortitude, he couldn't help but exclaim, he couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

"I've heard that it's the same as the demonic souls beneath the Great Wilderness's Swords Gate. However, the demonic soul seals under the Great Wilderness's Swords Gate have loosened, and there are places where the demonic souls have leaked out."

Yu Xuanji steered the skiff and flew towards the saint city on the peak of the Black Mountain, he said, "And the devil soul seals beneath my saint city have not weakened at all. This is also the reason why the monster race is so much more prosperous than the human race. The seal in the underground of Swords Gate has been loosened, and thus, the headmasters of Swords Gate have to go deep into the underground to quell the chaos. Zhong Yue's heart thumped, not because Yu Xuanji had heard of the Swords Gate's headmasters sacrificing their lives to suppress the devil soul, but because the devil soul seal would only get stronger and stronger!

Zhong Yue's heart thumped, not because Yu Xuanji had heard of the Swords Gate's headmasters sacrificing their lives to suppress the devil soul, but because there were devil soul seals in the monster race's sacred land!

"Two forbidden lands? East Barren and Great Wilderness? "

In his psyche ocean, Xin Huo was also puzzled, he mumbled, "What is going on? Are there so many gods that died in this Devil Soul Forbidden Land? Were the souls of those gods and devils also taken away? Wait, something's not right … "

He seemed to have thought of something, Zhong Yue asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"If these gods and devils didn't die in battle, what could have caused them to lose their lives?"

The little flame grew brighter and brighter, he quickly said, "There is only one reason that could cause so many of these gods to die in such a short time! And that is, to be buried together with them! "

"Buried together with them?"

Zhong Yue's soul shuddered, he exclaimed, "Buried together with the gods? Who would be able to bury these gods? "

"Not a human, but a god!"

Xin Huo's face was solemn, he said, "Do you still remember the coffins in the Devil Soul Forbidden Land? If it was a battlefield, how could there be so many coffins? Clearly, some great god had died, and in order to bury these fake gods and fake demons, the coffins were prepared for them! "

"Which means, there is a huge tomb beneath our Swords Gate?" Zhong Yue mumbled.

If it was really a huge tomb, then the size of this tomb and the owner of the tomb must be unimaginably huge!

"It is possible that the Great Wilderness and East Barren are both part of that huge tomb."

Xin Huo squinted his eyes and said, "Both of them have the Devil Soul Forbidden Land, the layout should be the same, which means that they are all part of the same huge tomb. Strange, what happened during the period of time when I was in slumber? How did the familiar heaven and earth become shrouded in fog …. "

Zhong Yue sucked in a breath of cold air, if Xin Huo's conjecture was right, then it would be a horrifying matter that was beyond his imagination!

Thankfully, Xin Huo has always been unreliable, and his conjectures have always been unreliable, or else …. Zhong Yue shivered in cold.

"Brat Yue, how about we enter the forbidden land beneath the Black Mountain?"

Xin Huo said excitedly, "We might be able to find more ancient secrets!"

Zhong Yue poured cold water over Xin Huo's head, he said, "The seals here are not loosened, how are we going to get out if we enter? Xin Huo, don't even think about it! "

Xin Huo was dispirited, his heart felt like it was being scratched by a few hundred cats, he couldn't wait to dig into the forbidden land and explore it.

Xian Kong Saint City.

Zhong Yue walked on the streets, he looked around and saw traces of the monster civilization everywhere, be it the totem pillars or statues of the monsters, they were all very different from the human race.

Not only that, the houses of the bird Qi Practitioners were also very different from those of the human race. Some of the bird Qi Practitioners' houses were like bird nests, the beasts' houses were like caves, the aquatic race's houses were like water chambers, and there were also some Qi Practitioners who lived underground, some lived on the net.

Other than that, Zhong Yue also saw armies of monster Qi Practitioners patrolling the important places, his heart stiffened up.

The monster race is really strong, they even have enough Qi Practitioners to form an army. Not too many, just a few dozen Rebirth Qi Practitioners would be able to fight against the Awakening Qi Practitioners. The inner hall disciples of Swords Gate, including the old and the weak, are only around 1,800. Including the inner disciple of the hall masters and elders, we only have three thousand Qi Practitioners, which is only comparable to three or four cities of the monster race.

He could not help but feel a strong sense of danger, the monster race was not unified yet, the Xian Kong City Lord was the ruler of the East Barren in name, but the other three islands, four keeps, and six cities also had their own forces.

If the current headmaster died, the Xian Kong City Lord would rule over the East Barren and attack the Swords Gate, the Swords Gate would not be able to escape the fate of destruction.

This Xian Kong Saint City, there is really a place to buy and sell human beings ….

Zhong Yue passed by the market of Xian Kong City, he saw hundreds of young men and women locked up in cages, there were even human Qi Practitioners with shackles on their hands and feet that had their scapulae pierced through, he could not help but feel sad.

"Where did these human Qi Practitioners come from?"

Zhong Yue asked Yu Xuanji, "They don't look like Qi Practitioners from the Great Wilderness."

Yu Xuanji laughed and said, "Some were bought from the other barrens, some were raised as slaves by the big monster clans, and some were transported from the ocean. It is very difficult to capture the Qi Practitioners of the Swords Gate, these Qi Practitioners are usually holed up in the Great Wilderness and rarely come out, except for a few messengers of the Shui Tu Clan. However, Shui Zian of the Shui Tu Clan is very famous in the monster race, even the saint city lord is very polite to him, no one dares to touch the messengers of the Shui Tu Clan. Brother Long Yue, Qimei, let's go to the city lord's manor first, the Rebirth Qi Practitioners from all over the world must have arrived! "

Hu Qimei glanced at Zhong Yue, she suddenly said, "Brother Long Yue seems to be very concerned about these humans."

Zhong Yue smiled and said, "The dragon race has a secret art that can allow one to ascend into a god, I want to buy a batch of humans so that I can ascend into a god in the future."

Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei were speechless, they were dumbfounded by Zhong Yue's words.

As long as they heard Zhong Yue's words, not a single monster would not be shocked. To ascend into a god, what kind of boldness was that? The monster race had an inherited sense of reverence towards the gods, after all, the monster race was the lowest of the low, the sense of inferiority towards the gods had been passed down to their very bones.

Now, with the passage of time, the monster race's status had risen greatly, and the human race had become the lowest of the low, but as long as the monster race heard the word 'god', they would still feel reverence from the depths of their souls.

In the city lord's manor of the saint city, Zhong Yue, Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei entered the manor, the seneschal received them, recorded their names and invited them into the manor, the seneschal said, "There are already many young talents here, they are all on the Ba Shui Bridge, observing the first stage left behind by the city lord."

"What is the first stage?" Hu Qimei asked.

"The three of you will know when you arrive."

The Ba Shui Bridge was built on top of the Ba Shui River, the Ba Shui River was a river formed by the gushing spring that flowed out from the mountains, it crossed the city lord's manor and the saint city, the water was fragrant and the water was filled with white lotuses.

Zhong Yue, Hu Qimei and Hu Qimei arrived on the bridge, although it was called a bridge, there were many pavilions and terraces, there were already hundreds of young monster talents gathered here, some accompanied by the experts of the races, some with their servants, there were four to five hundred monsters on the Ba Shui Bridge.

"Too little …." Yu Xuanji clenched his teeth and said.

Ferocious rays flashed in Hu Qimei's eyes, she lightly plucked the strings of her lute, immediately, the gazes on the bridge fell onto her, they were the experts from the races, most of them were Awakening level experts, Hu Qimei was shocked, she quickly stopped.

Zhong Yue stepped onto the Ba Shui Bridge, the monster Qi Practitioners on the bridge raised their heads and looked at a stone wall, the stone wall was engraved with abstruse totem carvings, forming a magnificent picture.

"An incomplete godly totem!" In his psyche ocean, Xin Huo looked through Zhong Yue's eyes and exclaimed softly.

Yu Xuanji found the experts of the Jade Dragon Keep, asked for information, he then said to Zhong Yue and Hu Qimei, "This picture was left behind by the saint city lord, it is the prologue of the 【Monster God Ming King Art】, it tests the disciple's talent and perception, if one can comprehend the abstruseness of the 【Monster God Ming King Art】, it will be considered as a pass."

"How does it count as comprehending the abstruseness?" Hu Qimei asked curiously.
