Chapter 1108: Saint Herb Monarch

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

“Monarch Chang Sheng has a link with me?”

Zhong Yue was puzzled and Ancient Mother Di Lin continued, “Monarch Chang Sheng is from the same background as me, we both became who we are today, I started as a divine herb but he started as a saint herb, so who is capable of giving him a chance to become a monarch? Once a saint herb of Dao Venerate Fu Min, he received the teachings from Dao Venerate Fu Min when Dao Venerate Fu Min ascended into a monarch. Later on, when Dao Venerate Fu Min created the sixth secret realm and achieved Six Paths Reincarnation, Monarch Chang Sheng was bestowed with even more gains. If it was not because of this, it would be even more difficult for us herbs to become a monarch compared to the innate gods.”

Monarch Chang Sheng was actually a saint herb of Dao Venerate Fu Min?

Zhong Yue was in disbelief. Monarch Chang Sheng was from the Changsheng Clan, a monarch race in this world and to think that a saint herb of Dao Venerate Fu Min became a monarch and produced a gigantic sovereign race? Zhong Yue just couldn’t imagine it!

However, he acknowledged the fact that it was hard for divine herbs to cultivate.

Old Man Six Paths, who was the Six Paths Fruit Tree was still currently in between the level of Heavenly Deity and True Deity; in these 700 hundred years, Zhong Yue’s cultivation level experienced a speed boost, even Shi Buyi also improved greatly, ascending into the True Deity level but Old Man Six Paths remained at the same level.

Husan Weng, who was also cultivating with Old Man Six Paths too, was stuck at the same level.

Divine herbs contained enormous spiritual power and unique energy, when they took shape of something, they merely looked like that person but inside, there were no organs, no veins, no blood and no psyche ocean.

Hence, there was no traces on their cultivation and all they could do was explore by themselves in the dark.

And to think that Monarch Chang Sheng was able to become a monarch, he truly was impressive!

At the current situation, Monarch Chang Sheng must have had solved the difficulty in herbs’ cultivations, walked on a new path that gave birth to his own race.

Perhaps, I should have Old Man Six Paths, Husan Weng and the others to cultivate with Ancient Mother Di Lin., Zhong Yue thought.

“Young Fuxi, you must meet Monarch Chang Sheng.”

Ancient Mother Di Lin said with a mysterious tone, “He and you are from the same roots, in some ways, he might be able to help you.”

Zhong Yue hesitated for a second, Monarch Chang Sheng may be only a saint herb of Dao Venerate Fu Min, but after so many years, can he still trust Monarch Chang Sheng?

Fine, I will meet him with my real face, even if he is no longer on our side, my identity as King Yi won’t be exposed. Besides, with Crown Prince Fu Shang around, he will not stand aside if Monarch Chang Sheng turned into an enemy.

As soon as he thought of this, he made up his mind and nodded at Ancient Mother Di Lin, “Then, could you please invite him to meet with me, here?”

Ancient Mother Di Lin nodded back, “Wait here for a moment.”

Moments later, Zhong Yue caught a sweet and fresh scent, belonging only to herbs. This monarch was thin, in his middle aged, exuded an amiable aura, and his face looked like it was sculpted from wood. But his eyes were filled with intelligence and wisdom.

“It has been a long time, King Yi.”

The words coming from Monarch Chang Sheng cause Zhong Yue to tense up, he came to meet Monarch Chang Sheng with his real looks so that he could hide his connection to King Yi, but Monarch Chang Sheng saw through it with ease!

Gu Yue used his real identity as he walked in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds to draw attention away from Zhong Yue with a completely different look from King Yi.

This was an identity never to be exposed, but for some reason, Monarch Chang Sheng saw through everything.

“There is no need to be so surprised.”

A smile rose on Monarch Chang Sheng’s face as he said, “There is my totem pillar in your secret realms, so it’s normal that I know you are King Yi.”

Zhong Yue was stunned, he mumbled, “Your totem pillar… in my Yuan Shen secret realms? You mean …”

“When Nong Sovereign passed away, he gave everything he had to you, which includes his wish and wealth, among them is the totem pillar to contact me.”

Monarch Chang Sheng smiled, “I knew you are the one who inherited Nong Sovereign long ago but I just didn’t contact you, for you are still far too weak, your shoulders are not strong enough to carry the burden you are supposed to carry. Fuxi, your identity is too sensitive and because of this, I will not contact you recklessly, now is still not the time to meet you but since you are here, I suppose I have no choice but to see you. However, after this, our memories may be kept with ourselves but not for Ancient Mother Di Lin.”

Ancient Mother Di Lin nodded and after getting out from the palace, she extracted the particular memory and erased it.

Zhong Yue on the other hand, searched around in his Yuan Shen secret realms, and after confirming again and again, he finally felt much more at ease.

Monarch Chang Sheng was not angered by Zhong Yue’s suspicion, rather, he approved his caution, “You really are a steady one, no wonder you’ve made quite a name for yourself, no wonder you are relied on so heavily by Mu Xiantian.”

“Why are you so keen on sitting onto that throne?”

Zhong Yue kept the totem pillar away, and asked, “You will become the target of everyone when you declare taking part in the war and there is little you can do when you are being focused by everyone.”

“Something great can be achieved by becoming the Heavenly Monarch.”

Monarch Chang Sheng smiled, “When saint herbs cultivate, they would acquire great life span, it has been more than 100,000 years and I too, am feeling very bored so I’m trying to find something to keep myself occupied. Who said that saint herbs can’t become the Heavenly Monarch? And this is why I’m taking part in the war, if I won, I will be the new Heavenly Monarch and there is nothing to lose even if I lost in the battle.”

His words left Zhong Yue speechless, the others took part in the war for fame and power but this monarch right here only seemed to be doing it for sport.

But what he said was true, saint herbs’ lifespan was terrifyingly long, almost on par with innate gods, for example, the three spiritual roots were still alive, even though they were already around ever since the universe first born.

“Fuxi, you must beware of Mu Xiantian, he is not as simple as you think.”

Monarch Chang Sheng continued, “I’ve experienced more than you, I’ve already seen him when he was first born. Dao Venerate commented that Mu Xiantian is one who will shine in the future, a talent that was hitherto never seen by this world. Throughout these years, I’ve been observing him closely, he is more than what he’s shown to the world, he definitely did not merely rely on Dark Monarch and King Zi Guang’s support.”

Zhong Yue’s heart thumped and Monarch Chang Sheng continued, “With the innate god’s body alone, he managed to become a monarch, his intelligence is not only on cultivation, he is more than just that. You must be careful.”

Zhong Yue nodded seriously, “I will. Great monarch, there is something that I don’t understand, something that happened on Dao Venerate back then, could you please solve my confusion.”

“There is no need to call me the great monarch, you can address me as senior martial brother.”

Monarch Chang Sheng said, “You are that man’s inheritor, I can sense the power hilt’s presence in you. If you are his heir, then we stand at the same level. Alright, what is this question that is puzzling you.”

“When his time is almost up, Dao Venerate unleashed a massacre, claiming the lives of 3,000 monarchs, who were all once his fellow Daoists, existences that he worked with to create Six Paths Reincarnations. This is the impetus that caused our Fuxi Celestial Race to become despised. Why did Dao Venerate do this?”

Monarch Chang Sheng thought for a moment and continued, “I am also searching for abnormalities throughout these years. Dao Venerate is already looking for a way to achieve the seventh secret realm, he even shed the past bodies and there shouldn’t be anything that could hinder his thinking. Later on, I discovered that Heaven found Crown Prince Fu Shang, told him about Dao Venerate’s doing and after that, the crown prince gathered the monarchs and announced it to the world.”

“Heaven?” murmured a shocked Zhong Yue.

“I began digging further these years in search of more secrets but oddly enough, traces were removed and those who knew what happened disappeared one after another.”

Fear crept into Monarch Chang Sheng’s voice as he said in horror, “Throughout the way, I ran into dangers without any reasons, dangers that almost killed me but fortunately enough, I survived through the immense life essence as a saint herb or I wouldn’t even be here by now. Apart from Heaven, I also discovered that a few more legendary figures played a dirty role in the extinction. However, I stopped after experiencing a massive scale crisis that forced me to stop. I had a feeling that I will be dead for sure if I continued.”

He sighed and said, “Even some secrets I dare not touch.”

Zhong Yue was stunned, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu also tried to peek into this matter and he too, almost got himself killed. If it wasn’t because of the Chaos Bead gifted to him by Hun Dun, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu would already be dead!

And Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was even stronger than Monarch Chang Sheng, after all, he was an innate god but even so, he was not strong enough to uncover the mystery of Dao Venerate Fu Min.

“Fuxi, when the Earth Order Era was destroyed and the Imperial Star exploded, I went to the ruins and found this divine weapon’s piece.”

Monarch Chang Sheng took out a mountainous weapon fragment and said, “The patterns on this weapon I’ve never seen. The wonders in it I failed to decipher and do you know where I found this piece? Right in the Imperial Star’s core! I suspect that this is not something created by monarch level existences, not with their power.”

Zhong Yue took over this weapon piece and just as Monarch Chang Sheng said, it had some sort of mysterious totem patterns but apart from the patterns, he also saw the Dao structure of Daos!

It was the Dark Age’s Daos that were carved onto the weapon!

Apart from that, he also saw the remnants of Drawings of Heavenly Daos!

At least three existences standing far superior than monarchs were involved in the creation of this weapon!

Zhong Yue examined it repeatedly and his eyes twitched upon discovering the traces of the fourth, fifth and sixth person!

Innate Evil Monarch… Demon Monarch… Celestial Monarch…

He identified them one by one, and in the end, he found a total of 12 terrifying existences’ Dao patterns on the weapon piece!

“This weapon piece, was it found right in the Earth Order Era’s Imperial Star’s core?” asked Zhong Yue with a frown.

Monarch Chang Sheng nodded, “I suspect that this weapon is planted deep in the star’s core, affecting Dao Venerate’s decision making without him knowing, causing him to unleash a massacre upon the 3,000 monarchs that created the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds! When he is old, Dao Venerate was no longer in his peak form and that gave the artifact an opening to affect his thinking!”
