Chapter 1142: Innate Xuan Pin

Zhong Yue’s eyes turned shiny as well when he thought of Yuan Ya Deity King’s treasures. He was regretting not being able to plunder more wealth from Innate Dao Mountain.

But with this saint herb, I will be able to find more treasures!

All of a sudden, a general came and reported outside of the doors, “My king, His Majesty has arrived!”

Mu Xiantian is here?

Zhong Yue was bestirred, the battle of monarchs he had been waiting for was finally getting started!

“King Yi, King Zi, my brothers and sisters.” In the center tent of the center camp of Heaven Breaching Fortress’s forces, Mu Xiantian was sitting in the lord’s seat. By his sides were Zhong Yue and King Zi Guang, and the commanders of the army divisions sat below.

“This great victory only came thanks to the contributions you have all made.” Mu Xiantian glanced around and said.

Then, he looked at Zhong Yue and nodded softly, “And the most notable of you all, is King Yi. I, Mu Xiantian, am not a heartless lord, I will remember the merits you have all done for me. Fear not, as when I am Heavenly Monarch, your merits will be rewarded accordingly. Lords, you will all be made; land, I will share them with you!”

The commanders bowed and thanked.

Whereas King Zi Guang cleared his throat and reminded him softly, “Your Majesty, conquering Heaven Court and defeating Di Ming is only half the success. Other than him, there are still the other monarchs like Qing He, Jin Tian, Yang Zun, Chang Sheng, and Yang Hou.”

Mu Xiantian laughed happily, “They are all weaklings, nothing compared to me. King Zi Guang, don’t you worry. Once I have the Heaven Court, I will become the rightful ruler of the universe and the rest of them will be rebels who tried to overthrow their new monarch. They will all have to die if they refuse to be ruled by me!”

King Zi Guang frowned, Mu Xiantian was acting all arrogant now looking down at the other monarchs. This couldn’t help but cause him discomfort.

“King Zi, my reign will start once I defeat Di Ming. King Zi has a wide array of knowledge, what do you think my monarch appellation should be?” Mu Xiantian slanted his body toward King Zi Guang and asked.

King Zi Guang replied, “If Your Majesty coronates yourself as the Heavenly Monarch now, Monarch Qing He and the other monarchs will work together against you. In my opinion, it is wiser we hold off on the coronation and continue to strengthen ourselves while defeating the other monarchs one after another. Your Majesty, even if we’ve defeated Heaven Court’s forces, we should avoid conquering Heaven Court. We should leave it empty instead, whoever wants it can have it.”

Mu Xiantian was not pleased with this answer, he looked at Zhong Yue and asked, “King Yi, what monarch appellation do you think I should call myself?”

Zhong Yue mulled, “Your Majesty is born from nature, an innate god of heaven and earth. Your birth is destined to be the supreme ruler of the cosmos, ruling all celestial and demon races. Your name is called Xiantian, and thus, I propose the appellation of Great Monarch Xian Tian!”

“No!” King Zi Guang quickly stood up, he said, “Monarch Xian Tian is fine, but not Great Monarch Xian Tian! Your Majesty, only two were able to have the title of ‘Great’ in the history of time, they are Great Si Ming and Great Sui. Even the previous era’s Dao Venerate Fu Min didn’t dare to call himself ‘Great’ in his monarch appellation! The word ‘Great’ must never be included! Without achievements great enough, the word will only bring retributions of heaven and earth to Your Majesty!”

Mu Xiantian was even more unhappy, he asked calmly, “Zi Guang, you think I don’t deserve it?”

King Zi Guang was unflinched, he answered in a serious tone, “A Great lowers his head to none and a Great’s meritorious deed is second to none. Not even Heaven is above a ‘Great’, not even Heaven can stand on par with a ‘Great’! Other than Great Si Ming and Great Sui, who else are fit to be crowned a ‘Great’? Your Majesty, even if you become Heavenly Monarch, you didn’t achieve anything that is on par with Great Si Ming’s and Great Sui’s meritorious deeds. Using the word ‘Great’ will bring you Heaven’s jealousy! Your Majesty, I am your loyal subject, I wish nothing but the best for you!”

Mu Xiantian couldn’t help but grow angry, he scolded, “Nonsense! How am I not fit to use the title ‘Great’? Can Great Si Ming bring peace to the eternal conflict between the celestials and demons? Can Great Sui? They can’t! But I can! How am I not fit?”

“Great Si Ming is the first life of the universe, the origin of all lives. He has brought peace to the Dark Age and ruled for billions of years. And his creation of Zi Wei is the meritorious deed that is still used by us even today now. While Great Sui created the totem patterns cultivation system and set down the Five Paths Reincarnation. His meritorious deed is allowing the postnate living beings to cultivate just like the innate gods. Then, he created the Void World, permitting the cultivators’ spirits to achieve immortality. The merits they have done for the cosmos are peerless, that is why they are fit to have the title of ‘Great’!”

King Zi Guang’s voice was raised louder as he continued, “If Your Majesty is able to unite the celestials and demons and make them live peacefully with each other, you’d be fit to use the title of ‘Great’. But you haven’t done it yet, so you can’t use it now! If you do, you’d be willingly asking for a reduction in your life!”

The commanders were all shocked, their scalps tingled as they witnessed King Zi Guang going against Mu Xiantian. They couldn’t help but wonder if he was asking to die in Mu Xiantian’s hands?

Mu Xiantian was angered, he points a finger at Zi Guang and was suddenly speechless out of extreme rage.

“King Yi…” Jiang Yiqi was shivering, he quickly pulled Zhong Yue’s sleeves and whispered, “Please help him out!”

Zhong Yue stood up, he shouted, “How dare you anger His Majesty, how dare you go scold your own lord! This is a crime that needs to be punished by death! Men, bring this offender out of His Majesty’s sight and behead him with an execution!”

Jiang Yiqi’s face turned pallid like snow hearing it. But suddenly, Mu Xiantian raised his hand and smiled, “King Yi, don’t you add more oil to the burning fire. Although King Zi’s words were no music to my ears, he has not committed any fault to die. Executioner, go back to your stations. Leave!”

Zi Guang gave Zhong Yue a grateful glance. Mu Xiantian was afraid Zhong Yue’s power would grow beyond his control, thus, he needed Zi Guang to distribute Zhong Yue’s power. The more eagerly Zhong Yue wanted Zi Guang to die, the more Mu Xiantian would protect Zi Guang.

To the others, it appeared as though Zhong Yue wanted to kill Zi Guang; but in truth, Zhong Yue was just trying to save him.

_Although he had his own goals, I am now in debt to him. Fine then, I’ll not kill him when the time to take him down comes,_King Zi Guang thought to himself.

Mu Xiantian waved his hand, he said, “I have decided. Great Monarch Xian Tian will be my appellation. My decision is final!”

Zhong Yue praised, “Praise to Your Majesty’s wisdom!”

King Zi Guang was angered again, he nearly hopped up to condemn Zhong Yue, but only stopped when he remembered Zhong Yue had just saved his life.

This brat is so good in the art of war, his intelligence is definitely at the top of the line, but he is always acting like a nefarious subject, placing His Majesty in difficult situations!

King Zi Guang calmed himself, he said, “Your Majesty, are you confident in defeating Heavenly Monarch Di Ming?”

“Confident?” Mu Xiantian was serene, “At the moment I have decided to claim the throne of Heavenly Monarch, Di Ming has already been defeated. King Zi, worry not. He will lose for sure in the battle in ten days later. Don’t you all worry, the outcome of the battle will naturally be unfolded ten days later!”

Zhong Yue was shocked, his heart thumped heavily and he pondered. Why was Mu Xiantian so confident? Mu Xiantian was only a monarch not long ago but Di Ming has already been in the Imperial Monarch level for more than tens of thousand years. Furthermore, Di Ming would’ve probably opened the seventh secret realm already by now. Given all of that, how could Mu Xiantian still be so confident?

“Di Ming thought he had found my weakness, a lethal point that could kill me.” Mu Xiantian slowly stood up, demon rays glimmered in his eyes as he smirked frigidly, “But what he didn’t know was that the weakness he found was what I wanted him to find. My lethal point wasn’t even in the Innate Xuan Pin Sacred Ground he has found!”

He stared coldly at Heaven Court’s direction while a cruel smile radiated across his face, “A cunning rabbit has three holes, not only am I more than a cunning rabbit, but I am also a sly fox! From the start, his defeat is destined! Although the Innate Xuan Pin Sacred Ground gave birth to me, that Xuan Pin Sacred Ground he has found… Haha!”

Is this Zi Guang’s plan? Misdirecting Heavenly Monarch Di Ming to find the Innate Xuan Pin Sacred Ground?

Zhong Yue quickly turned to King Zi Guang but only saw the same shock on the latter’s face. On top of that, King Zi Guang’s eyes were filled with bewilderment. Clearly, he too, didn’t know about the Innate Xuan Pin Sacred Ground.

Mu Xiantian was laughing happily, he strode toward the Heavenly River outside of Heaven Court. He continued saying leisurely, “King Yi, King Zi. I want you both to present me Heaven Court ten days later!”

…

In the ancient universe, at Innate Xuan Pin Sacred Ground.

King Shen Wuwei and the six advisors had cast out six monarch weapons and set up the Six Isolation Formation. The Six Paths and Reincarnation were isolated from the innate sacred ground.

For thirty years, the six advisors who were all peaked Imperial Emperors have transformed the innate sacred ground into dead space!

“The innate gods born from heaven and earth are extremely difficult to kill. The most important rule of survival for the innate gods was to always be in control of the innate sacred ground they were born from. As long as the innate sacred ground remained, the innate gods could always reborn from the Daos in the innate sacred grounds.”

King Shen Wuwei’s giant body was standing outside of Xuan Pin Sacred Ground. His voice rumbled like thunder, “Which is also why Dao Venerate Fu Min failed to kill all the innate gods in his time because many of them have hidden their innate sacred grounds out of his reach. But now, Mu Xiantian’s Xuan Pin Sacred Ground is in our hands. His birthplace is in the Six Isolation Formation, cut off from the Six Paths Reincarnation. This will stop him from being reborn in the help of the innate sacred ground! This is a killing blow that will wipe him out of his very existence!”

The six advisors were standing below a monarch weapon each. They were staring at the Innate Xuan Pin Sacred Ground.

In the sacred ground, there was a Gate of Xuan Pin that looked like a woman’s genital, extending downward to a depth unknown even to the peaked Imperial Emperors like them. Looking down from above, it was deep and dark.

Whereas on the two sides of the gate, one side was filled with a saint air purely formed from the Innate Celestial Dao and the other side was filled with a demon air formed from the Innate Demon Dao.

“This Innate Xuan Pin Sacred Ground is balance in the forces of celestial and demon. No wonder it could nurture the birth of a demon-celestial innate god.”

Advisor Shang Fu said solemnly, “But I can’t help the unease in me. Although Innate Xuan Pin Sacred Ground was well hidden away from us by Mu Xiantian, I somewhat felt like Mu Xiantian isn’t doing his best in hiding it. Would there be any chance this is part of his plan?”

King Shen Wuwei laughed, “I’ve been searching for it for more than dozens of years, even seeking help from Innate Evil Monarch to get a small clue about its location. What could go wrong? Advisor Shang Fu, you are playing it far too safe.”

“Caution is the parent of safety. You can never be too careful.” Advisor Shao Fu said, “I think it’s best we run another round of checks on it. Advisor Dao Fu, have you picked up anything odd on it?”

Advisor Dao Fu shook, “This sacred ground is purely formed by Innate Celestial Dao and Innate Demon Dao. I don’t see anything wrong about it.”

“Advisor Bi Fu, you are the fastest of us all. Why don’t you go down in the Gate of Xuan Pin and check if Mu Xiantian’s birthplace is there.” Advisor Shang Fu said, “But take extreme care, Mu Xiantian might have laid some traps in it.”

Advisor Bi Fu smiled, “Don’t worry. What level was Mu Xiantian years back then? How strong can his traps possibly be? I’ll be back in no time!”

He leaped out and entered the Gate of Xuan Pin, traveling in darkness as he went deeper. It was then he finally realized the amazingness of the innate sacred ground.

The Innate Xuan Pin Sacred Ground was bottomless, even after a long time traveling at the uncanny speed he was on, he still hadn’t reached the bottom of the innate sacred ground.

Soon, Advisor Bi Fu started to grow anxious but continued diving down. After a long time, light suddenly appeared in the front and he was overjoyed, he thought, It seems like I’m reaching Mu Xiantian’s mother body!

The lights in front of him grew brighter and a new world appeared in front of him. Advisor Bi Fu entered the lights and suddenly felt refreshed in the new world.

Then, he looked around and was stunned like a wooden puppet. His mind turned blank, his eyes filled with shock, and his mouth opened wide.
