Chapter 1025: My Funeral

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Dao Venerate Fu Min left, and with his departure, the return of ancient ship’s speed. They continued sailing through the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch with an empty-minded Crown Prince Fu Shang kneeling on the ground. After some time, the crown prince silently returned back to the Six Paths Bead.

He did not disappear, meaning that Dao Venerate Fu Min did not alter the past.

If father killed me, then there might not be we Fuxi Celestial Race’s extinction. He thought, And if the annihilation did not happen, my death will wash away my sins.

But nothing was changed.

Zhong Yue sighed silently and kept the bead away.

Gradually, the ancient ship sailed further away, and just as they were about to leave the ancient universe, the ship felt like it had entered a muddy area again and its speed slowed down once again.

From the back, luxurious warships caught up with them, each filled with white banners and many gods of war standing on these warships.

Among them were Fuxi Celestial Race and some other races, but like ghostly spirits, these warships sailed past the ancient ship and Zhong Yue could only watch as this funeral fleet passed him.

This fleet was a massive one and the escorts were immensely powerful; what kind of existence’s passing was fit enough to have such a grand ceremony?

Did we run into Dao Venerate Fu Min’s funeral?

Beside him, Hundun Yu was also staring at this fleet that sailed past them and suddenly, his mind went blank and he shouted, “Mister Yi! Look at that monarch, he looks exactly like me!”

Zhong Yue looked towards the direction he pointed and he too, lost his thoughts for a second for he saw a middle-age Hundun Yu!

A Hundun Clan’s monarch!

Unlike the young Hundun Yu, this middle-age Hundun Yu they saw emitted a powerful and capable vibe. This Hundun Yu was also holding onto a massive coffin.

Beside the middle age Hundun Yu, Zhong Yue also saw other powerful existences, all in the monarch level and they too, were holding onto this coffin as if they were escorting their late lord to his funeral.

Zhong Yue was stunned, he saw his wives, Yin Fanxuan, Jin Hexi and many other familiar faces, Qiu Jin’er, Senior Martial Sister Jun, Yi Wanjun and Shi Yinji.

They too, were in their middle ages.

Apart from them, there were other stranger faces but they were all mired in sadness and grief as they held onto the coffin.

“A middle-age Hundun Yu, is this the future?”

Zhong Yue murmured, “Who is in the coffin? Why are the future monarchs escorting this dead to his tomb? He is the future Heavenly Monarch!”

At the next second, he realized that it was the thousand winged ancient ship that was carrying the monarch’s tomb on it!

His heart thumped as he never expected to see the thousand winged ancient ship, the exact same one that he and Hundun Yu were onboard right now!

But unlike this one they were sailing in, the future ancient ship was not damaged and weathered at all. Instead, it looked entirely new as if it was just fresh out from the dock!

Each and every single scratch on this ancient ship was repaired.

Surrounded by the other warships, the ancient warship sailed in the center and Zhong Yue lost his ability to think again upon seeing the words on the banners.

Hundun Yu who also saw the words then read it out loud, “Sovereign Tai of the Zhong Shan Clan…. Sovereign Tai? Zhong Shan Clan? What race is this? I must record it down!”

But suddenly, he was halted by Zhong Yue and the confused Hundun Yu asked, “Mister Yi?”

“Don’t record it.”

With a sore voice, Zhong Yue shook his head, “Don’t record this. The future has yet to come into reality, just don’t record it.”

Hundun Yu was very confused, he did not know why Zhong Yue was so fixated on this scene.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue clenched his fist and grabbed onto his heart as pain rose within his chest vaguely.

This was his own funeral, the one lying in the monarch coffin was the old him.

“This is my fault, Zhong Yue.”

A saddened Xin Huo murmured, “I’m manifesting in your soul, absorbing your life essence, which decreased your life span significantly. Even if you entered the monarch level, you’d only have 60,000 years of life. I should leave.”

“No.”

Zhong Yue looked as his coffin exited his vision along with the powerful ones escorting his body. A laughter burst out, “This is not your fault but my own decision. I will become Sovereign Tai in the future, a Heavenly Monarch. Do you think I know nothing about how your existence in my soul will decrease my life span? If the future me chose this, then the current me will also choose the same path. Besides…”

Zhong Yue smiled, “The future is not absolute. Didn’t Great Si Ming destroy my Imperial Star and alter the future? If he can, then I can pull it off as well!”

He laughed happily, “In the future, I will become an immortal Dao God! Xin Huo, you have nothing on me!”

Xin Huo however, remained silent.

Just how hard was altering the future?

Great Si Ming was strong enough to alter the future but can the future Zhong Yue do the same?

The ancient ship continued sailing forward and finally, they entered the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds.

Zhong Yue’s heart sank to the bottom. If they continued, they would be entering the first Six Paths World, and it will not be long until they ran into the Skymetrical Scroll left behind by Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, which would halt the teleportation.

Up until now, whatever Feng Xiaozhong mentioned was in Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch had yet to be found but if he said there was something, then there would definitely be something. However, given how oddly the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch worked and how they saw the past and the future of those who walked Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch, perhaps he would run into the same thing that Feng Xiaozhong had run into.

Then, the ancient ship started sailing away quickly again. In front of them was the Bo Luo Six Paths Worlds. They would pass the monarch battleground as they passed Bo Luo Six Paths World. This was where that evil existence had ambushed the escort company of Dao Venerate Fu Min’s coffin, planting the seed for the Fuxi Celestial Race’s doom!

Suddenly, the ancient ship rumbled slightly, stopped once again in the middle of nowhere.

“This is the third time!”

Hundun Yu murmured in surprise, “What now? Hmmm, the funeral fleet again!”

“Wind!”

“Great wind!”

Zhong Yue heard the mind-shattering battle cries as Fuxi Celestial Race’s war song was rumbled in Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch; Dao Venerate Fu Min’s funeral fleet had arrived, the warships sailed forth, all boarded with Fuxi Celestial Race’s gods of war who sung the war song.

Dao Venerate Fu Min had arrived, in his coffin.

The once invincible and majestic Heavenly Monarch now lay quietly in his coffin. The monarch warship stopped suddenly and so did the other warships, like time had frozen at this exact moment!

Without a sign, Zhong Yue saw rumblings coming from the coffin, and one after another, wood stakes detached from the coffin, flying into the air and floating there like swords!

In the coffin, Dao Venerate Fu Min’s body stood straight up!

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped, goosebumps rose and in his psyche ocean, the fire burning on Xin Huo’s head sparked fiercely upon this scene!

At his side, Hundun Yu, however, felt nothing. He stood there without moving a finger at all as if time had been stopped.

Meanwhile, one after another spirit balls emerged from Dao Venerate Fu Min’s body, branded onto Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch and they seemingly merged with the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch before disappearing.

Dong—

Dao Venerate Fu Min’s body fell back into the coffin, the sword-like wooden planks attached back onto the coffin like nothing happened.

The abnormal time freeze had dispersed and the funeral fleet continued moving forward like nothing happened.

The ancient ship rumbled continuously in an attempt to move forward but it was anchored onto the same place like it was frozen in time.

On the same ship, Hundun Yu was still stuck in the time freeze. Zhong Yue raised his arms and Hundun Yu was still unable to move but Zhong Yue could move freely as he wished.

So that’s how it is! I see it now!

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped quickly; Feng Xiaozhong did not tell him that this thing left in the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch was not something that Dao Venerate Fu Min specifically hid here so that he could retrieve it!

The opening of the coffin, Dao Venerate Fu Min’s body summoning the spirit balls, these spirit balls were left for him by Dao Venerate Fu Min!

Feng Xiaozhong must have seen this scene as well but not knowing how to retrieve them, he let it go.

Zhong Yue examined Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch, frowned slightly as there was no traces in Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch. These spirit balls hid within Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch and he knew where these spirit balls were but he just didn’t know how to retrieve them.

His psyche gushed out in an attempt to retrieve them but he sensed nothing at all.

He reached out his palms, which enlarged under the influence of his energy and he got nothing when he reached his palms into the dimensions where these spirit balls located!

Zhong Yue then Heaven Reincarnation Origin Mirror, shone it towards the dimensions but there was nothing reflected in the mirror!

Cold sweat started dripping down from Zhong Yue’s forehead upon finding nothing at all no matter what he did, the rumbles from the ancient ship was also intensifying with every passing second. This that they would not stay here forever and that they would be swept away by the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch!

If he did not retrieve them right now, this great opportunity would slip through his fingers!

“Crown Prince Fu Shang, do you have any ways of retrieving them?” asked Zhong Yue as he whipped out the Six Paths Bead.

However, the time freeze applied to the Six Paths Bead as well, Fu Shang stood there like a statue, moving no finger nor speaking a word.

“Xin Huo! Xin Huo?”

Similarly, Xin Huo was also frozen and Zhong Yue could only walk around the bow nervously, “There must be some way! Dao Venerate Fu Min left them here and he must have left a way for me to retrieve them! He saw me so he left them here after his death. He knows that I have a way of taking them back!”

Suddenly, the ancient ship started moving inch by inch. Hundun Yu seemingly moved a finger as the time freeze was starting to disperse!

I see it now!

Something struck Zhong Yue and he immediately cast [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture], Dao Venerate Fu Min’s art!

Back then, I performed [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture] in front of him so the key to retrieve these spirit balls will definitely be [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture]!

Hong long—-

The ancient ship trembled, the thousand wings flapped quickly and charged forward after being swept away by Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch.

At the same time, the spirit balls emerged from the void, flowed into Zhong Yue’s body like fireflies in a speed even quicker than Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch!

Meanwhile, Hundun Yu, Xin Huo and Fu Shang also recovered from the time freeze!
