Chapter 691: The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

These guys are no weaker than me. Some of them are even stronger than me! With these injuries, any one of them could cut me down easily, not to mention that there are so many of them. The only reason they did not move against me now is probably because of Bi and An.

As celestial emperors of a hundred lives, Bi and An’s strengths were hard to grasp, and if they showed signs of trying to protect Zhong Yue, even King Geng wouldn’t dare to make a move.

Zhong Yue thought, Apart from Bi and An, Jun Wudao and King Geng had seen Goddess Shen Hou and from their looks, they probably know that she’s an innate god so they are most likely reluctant to deal with me.

In truth, apart from Goddess Shen Hou, they did not act against Zhong Yue was because that was what both the Realm Lord of Prison Realm and Heavenly King Shang hoped for.

This place was extremely weird and the higher the death count, the safer it was for the likes of the Prison Realm Lord and Heavenly King Shang. It was similar to the blood ritual; feeding this place with blood so that it could decrease the risks when they entered this place, otherwise they would probably be teleported to a realm within the Ancient Land of Gods Grave and reborn as a living being.

And if that happened, there would be barely any chances for them to survive.

The Realm Lord that Zhong Yue encountered in the Bone Realm was one of these unlucky ones; he was dragged into the realm by the strange Reincarnation power when he entered the Ancient Land of Gods Grave. As a result, he failed to escape from that place even after his death.

Meanwhile, King Geng and the others more or less knew about this place, thus, they were reluctant to let the Realm Lord and Heavenly King Shang harvest their ripe fruit, and so they stopped pursuing Zhong Yue.

Yu Bochuan laughed and said, “Brother Zhong, as Qi Practitioners from the same realm, we should deal with those from the other realms. The next battle will not be an easy one, and if we lose someone again, it would disadvantage us greatly. So… what do you say?”

“Of course you’re right,” nodded Zhong Yue.

Yu Bochuan was glad to hear Zhong Yue’s response and said quickly, “Great! Now, things should be smooth sailing if we could peacefully get along with each other for another eleven years. Brother Zhong, let me buy you a drink sometime in the future.”

“Sure. But speaking of which, I think you and I can become close friends. We all came from the Left Fang Galaxy and became brothers with King Geng.”

He then burst out laughing, but as a skeleton, no sound came out.

Initially, he wanted to transmit his laughter through everyone’s psyche ocean, but he discarded this idea in the end.

On the other hand, King Geng let out a cold humph and his expression did not look good at all. Back then, he arrogantly said that he would make Zhong Yue his sworn brother. But little did he know that Goddess Shen Hou’s arrival would force him to flee.

Now, he felt insulted but didn’t want to t admit that he ran away from fear.

But he too, did not want to admit that Zhong Yue was his sworn brother.

After all, he was the younger brother of the previous Realm Monarch, and along with the current Realm Monarch, both of them were the best assistants of the previous Realm Monarch. With all the power they had, those that got along with them were all the Heavenly Kings, celestial emperors, and Realm lords.

And as for Zhong Yue, not only did he not have fame, power, status, and profound cultivation, but he was a human. And that alone was enough to make King Geng unwilling to become friends with him, not to mention make him his sworn brother.

Thus, he was very conflicted; he wanted to make Zhong Yue surrender and recruit him as his follower as he knew that Zhong Yue was destined to be a major character in the future.

But he never expected that things would turn out the way they did.

I’ve never seen someone with such a thick-skin person! I got up not because of him but because of the innate god! Forget it, I will just ignore him and pretend like nothing happened. Hmmm… there are four from the Left Fang Galaxy squeezed into the top ten and this is something not to be taken lightly. Li Tianxing, Bi and An and this petty human… Scary….

Upon thinking of this, King Geng felt that things were getting out of hand; among the top ten Qi Practitioners, four came from the Left Fang Galaxy. He then thought, Is this because of the Heavenly Emerald Dharma King’s teachings? Is she someone with even more hidden talents?

“If we can guarantee we get along for the remaining eleven years, it would become a hard-to-come-by chance.” said Yu Bochuan, “This means that we have acquired a hundred and ten years to cultivate, which is enough for us to rectify our weaknesses. Remember, those from the other realms are not easy targets.”

With a heavy heart, everyone nodded and left.

The main purpose of the Ancient Land of Gods Grave was not because of the many fortunes but because of the flow of time in here. This was a place created by the ancient ones; a day in the outer world equaled ten years here. If they cultivated here for hundred and ten years, it would only be eleven days in the outside world!

“Dear senior martial brothers and senior martial sisters, I will visit you someday, I hope you won’t mind me bothering you!”

The others immediately stopped walking and their expression were very weird; although they agreed to get along for the time being, but to think that Zhong Yue was planning to visit them in their own places?

This was exactly just like entering the enemies’ main base and handing over his own life to the opponents. First, the opponent had the advantage in terms of manpower and second, with the blood ritual, the opponent could increase his or her strength drastically, thus, able to overwhelm Zhong Yue easily!

“Zhong Yue of the human race, you are very brave.”

King Geng turned around and said, “I will be staying in the Cauldron Realm and if you dare to come, I will welcome you warmly!”

Zhong Yue waved at him and he transmitted his laughter into King Geng’s psyche ocean.

“Such arrogance!” King Geng vented angrily.

“Then I will await for your arrival in the Frost Realm.” Yu Bochuan added.

“If you dare to come,” said Li Tianxing.

Bi and An then said with happy smiles, “Please come.”

Jun Wudao said softly, “You are welcome anytime. If you actually come.”

Shu Ye said, “I will not take in guests when I cultivate.”

Then they all left and Zhong Yue finally let out an relieved breath. He almost collapsed and he quickly said, “Brother Bai, take us back.”

“Where to?” asked the clueless Bai Canghai.

Zhong Yue turned around and when he looked at Ma Sansou who was almost crushed into meatballs, he thought for a while and said, “Let’s go to the Eight Dragons Dominator Palace first.”

And right away, Ma Sansou had a bad feeling.

Not long later, Bai Canghai stood in front of the jade pool of Eight Dragons Dominator Palace, Ma Sansou was crying and he complaint, “Please don’t throw me into that pool, there is pee in there….”

Pu tong—

“Damn you Bai Canghai! Damn you! You really threw me into the pool! I should’ve known! I shouldn’t have listened to you and peed inside it!” scolded Ma Sansou after he was thrown into the pool.

But his swears fell on deaf ears as Bai Canghai ignored him and said to Zhong Yue, “Brother Zhong, your idea is great. Look at him, able to scold so happily suggests that his wounds are healing… Stop scolding, Sansou, are you not afraid that the pee will enter your mouth? Oh well, it’s your pee anyway so I guess it’s nothing for you.”

“I dare you to come down!” shouted Ma Sansou angrily.

But Bai Canghai shrugged his shoulders and pretended that he heard nothing.

Zhong Yue on the other hand, comforted him by saying, “Sansou, stop scolding him. You won’t know what will happen when it comes to him because of his curse.”

Immediately, Ma Sansou shivered in fear and quickly shut his mouth.

Zhong Yue also started treating his wounds quietly and he thought, It may be good to cultivate in this place, which could allow me to cultivate the Six Path Reincarnation, recover my flesh body but communication with the others is very crucial too. I need Jun Wudao to make a cloak for me at the very least, I have to visit Bi an An for sure and Yu Bochuan is someone I have to pay a visit as well. This is a mystery person and he seems to know a lot of things I do not now. Hmmm, I have to disturb King Geng too…

Few months later, he recovered to his peak state and he could tell that his strength had improved greatly. Bai Canghai had also recovered from the injuries he suffered and for Ma Sansou who suffered even worse injuries, his condition stabilized greatly after healing himself in the pool.

But ever since his shell was destroyed, his mood was not very good because he had lost his greatest card.

As such, Zhong Yue handed over some of his herbs to Ma Sansou and taught him and Bai Canghai the immortal body, “With your base and the Six Path opened, it will not be difficult for you to cultivate the Immortal Body. Now, head for the Song Realm while I pay a visit to the others.”

The two of them immediately returned to the Song Realm and after they left, Zhong Yue thought for awhile and decided to head towards the realm Jun Wudao temporarily resided in as he thought, She is closest to me, let’s pay her a visit first!

Not long later, he arrived at the Jade Realm and notified Jun Wudao and about a few seconds later, Jun Wudao’s voice could be heard saying, “Evil God, please come in.”

Zhong Yue walked straight forward without hesitation, and after obtaining her permission. He destroyed all the seals and obstacles in his path as he went further into his destination. After a moment, he arrived at a palace where he was greeted by a few ladies who then led him inside.

In the palace, Jun Wudao was surrounded by many Qi Practitioners and she said in surprise, “Evil God Zhong, I must praise your bravery for coming alone!”

She then said to her followers, “Leave us. He came alone and if I let you to stay here, it will make me inferior to him. Everyone already thinks that females are inferior to males and I refuse to give them any evidence of that. He strutted in here with such bravery so I must not lose to him.”

Her followers immediately dismissed themselves and left the two alone in the palace.

Meanwhile, Zhong Yue looked at this lady that disguised herself as a man, smiled and said suddenly, “If you think that a lady is not weaker than a man, then why the disguise?”

“Because I am afraid of being bothered by men,” replied Jun Wudao, she thought for a while and said, “Since you said so, I will change my attire so you can’t say anything about me again.”

She left the scene and returned in quite a short time; a lady walked out from the back and Zhong Yue’s lit up slightly as he was temporarily stunned.

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

When she was wearing men’s clothing, she already looked exceptionally handsome, and when she changed into the woman’s dress, her beauty became elevated to a whole new level. Her former heroic image was replaced by an ethereal beauty that felt as if it had come out of a dream.

She was not inferior to even the Moon God in respect to appearance!

Moreover, the innate gods usually emitted a frigid air that made it difficult to approach them, but this was not the case for Jun Wudao.

Zhong Yue secretly praised, No wonder whoever that is in the Heaven Realm had his eyes on her. If I were him, I would most probably try to possess her as well.

Of course, he didn’t really have this thought at all. He had seen many beautiful women, such as Chi Xue, Qiu Jin’er, Jun Sixie, Moon God, and Goddess Shen Hou, each of whom had their charms.

In fact, Zhong Yue admired her ability to survive in the chaos of Prison Realm for so long more than her appearance; Jun Wudao was indeed very exceptional.

To have the guts to decline and even stand against the higher up in the Heaven Realm, her courage was worthy of his admiration.

“Evil God Zhong, you are indeed extraordinary.” Jun Wudao looked at him and praised, “When other men see me in my dress, their eyes would be filled with undisguised lust that disgusts me more than anything else. I don’t see that in your eyes.”

Zhong Yue laughed soundlessly and said, “Senior Martial Sister Wudao has misunderstood. You are so beautiful that if I have no desire at all, I wouldn’t be no man. The only reason you can’t see my desire is because I am a skeleton now. If I were to have my fleshly body right now, I most probably would be the same as everyone else. By the way, Jun Wudao shouldn’t be your real name, right? So what is your real name?”

Jun Wudao shook her head and asked him to sit down. She didn’t answer his question and said instead, “Evil God Zhong came looking for me, what is it that you want?”

Zhong Yue didn’t pursue for an answer, he said, “I am here to ask a favor from senior martial sister, to make a scarlet cloak for me. I already have the materials prepared.”

Jun Wudao winked and smiled, “Do you know the price you will have to pay to commission something from of the Weaving Girls of Tian Suo Celestial Race? We hold a special place in the Heaven Court, we serve only the Realm Monarch and his direct family. As the everyone else, even kings and royalty would have to lodge a formal request and cough up a hefty price. The clothes made by the Weaving Girls are seamless and can be hidden away at ease with the wearer’s will. Furthermore, it’s power rises along with the wearer. Thus, to ask a favor from me, the price to price shall be…”

“That’s fine.” Zhong Yue nodded his head, he leaned his body slightly forward and asked, “What does senior martial sister want?”

Jun Wudao chuckled, her smile was so sweet it could easily intoxicate one’s soul, “What the royals have is beyond what Evil God Zhong can present, those treasures are priceless but not unacquirable. However, I have seen 3 of your skills, among which I have solutions to the first two. But the third skill, I still can’t figure out a way to counter no matter how hard I tried. I’ve been thinking about it these days and have became exhausted, causing me to even lose weight…”

She winked her watery eyes and stared quietly at Zhong Yue, waiting for an answer.

Zhong Yue thought for a moment and smiled, “You want to learn my skill?”

Jun Wudao nodded and smiled back, “I wonder if Evil God Zhong agrees to the deal?”

Zhong Yue laughed, “If you want, I will. The 3 skills are known as [Sun Burst], [Moon Tide], and [Dao Crusher]; they come from the [God Slaying Three Styles] I’ve created. And if I am right, this is the skill you speak of?”

His psyche fluctuated, and two godly rays flew out, turning into a Tai Chi diagram that overflowed with hidden saber will.

“But to be frank, even if I teach it to you, you still won’t t be able to learn it.”

Zhong Yue said, “I don’t want to lie. If you want to learn this skill, you will need to achieve the state of Celestial Demon As One. Meaning, you will have to cultivate the celestial cultivation base and demon cultivation base at the same time and integrate them together. Then, you will have to forge two sabers as your Lifebound Soul Weapons and cultivate them into Extreme Weapons. Even then, you still won’t be able to do it as the [Dao Crusher]’s ability is slash down the opponent’s cultivated Dao. Thus, it requires a strong divinatory calculation technique to calculate every change and permutation of your opponent’s moves!”

Jun Wudao was stunned, her small mouth was agape as Zhong Yue explained. If he hadn’t told her that, then she wouldn’t have ever known that this skill had so many prerequisites to learn.

“But after all that, there is still the sun and moon in my [Tai Chi Art]. The sun is Yang and is formed by the Pure Yang Qi, while moon is the Yin and is formed by the Pure Yin Qi. And to cultivate the Yin Yang Qi, you must have the Innate Sun Spirit Body and Innate Moon Spirit Body.”

Zhong Yue paused for seconds before he continued, “You can decide now if you really want to learn this skill.”

Jun Wudao’s scalp tingled. There were too many restrictions on this skill. After all, the skill was tailor-made for him, and that made it impossible for anyone else to learn it!

“I will learn it! Of course I will!” Jun Wudao said sternly, “It is the concepts and ideology in your skill that matters to me. With it, I can look for its flaws, and then find a solution to counter your skill. I don’t really need to cast it. With your teaching, I can find a counter to it faster!”

She directly stated that she only wanted to learn the [Dao Crusher] so that she could counter it. If it were someone else, they would’ve declined her right away as no ordinary man would easily expose their trump card, let alone allowing the others to learn and counter it!

If a skill’s secrets were made clear, it would effectively be rendered useless.

Zhong Yue said, “If you insist, then I will teach you. But there was one more thing, the [Dao Crusher] was my own creation, and I am still improving it. Even if you can counter the current [Dao Crusher] that I will be teaching you, you may not be able to counter it in the future [Dao Crusher].”

Jun Wudao smiled and said, “This something Evil God Zhong doesn’t have to worry about.”

Zhong Yue psyche fluacted and he imparted the [Dao Crusher] into her mind, flooding it with the [Dao Crusher]’s immense information.

Jun Wudao sorted out the information and couldn’t help but to be awestruck at its complexity. Only then did she realize that Zhong Yue hadn’t been lying to her.

The truth of the matter was that the [Dao Crusher] was far more complex than what Zhong Yue let on. This was mostly due to the requirement for an absurd deductive ability.

The deductive abilities of the Weaving Girls were quite good. Their deductive abilities usually far outstripped that of ordinary cultivators, and their soul weapons were often things like rulers, strings, scissors and the like.

When Jun Wudao compared her divinatory calculatory technique to Zhong Yue’s, her heart turned cold and her pride as a Weaving Girl was dampened as she found herself far inferior to Zhong Yue in her own area of expertise.

What was even more frightening was that this skill really was like what he said, the [Dao Crusher] finds the changes in one’s form and strikes at the weakest points. No matter how strong and powerful the opponents were, or how complex and delicate their skills were, as long as he could calculate and deduced their changes, they would be crushed!

And that deductive ability was definitely the top-level calculatory technique she had ever seen!

Zhong Yue hadn’t lied at all to her. Although Zhong Yue taught her the [Dao Crusher] as promised, she couldn’t cast or even learn it at all.

Whereas for her goal of finding a counter solution to Zhong Yue’s [Dao Crusher]…

Technically, it is almost impossible to counter it. Unless my deductive ability is stronger than his, then there isn’t much hope…

Jun Wudao’s heart grew bitter and thought, But this was also an opportunity. Maybe I can find my own calculatory technique from his skill, and surpass him!

In addition to a stronger deductive ability, there was actually another method that could counter the [Dao Crusher]. And that was to break it by brute force. No matter how subtle the [Dao Crusher] was, a sufficient force of sheer arcane energy could directly shatter the [Tai Chi Art].

But among all the Prison Realm Qi Practitioners, I am afraid that only King Geng and Yu Bochuan has the requisite arcane energy for such a feat, Jun Wudao thought.

This was true. King Geng had once countered Zhong Yue’s [Dao Crusher] by directly destroying the Tai Chi Art with his raging arcane energy of the Innate Galaxy Spirit Body.

And although Zhong Yue had not fought against Yu Bochuan, Yu Bochuan’s [Sacrificial Prayers to Heaven] could turn other Qi Practitioners into his worshippers. This bestows him an abundance of arcane energy that was enough to shatter the [Dao Crusher].

“Since you taught me the [Dao Crusher], then as promised, I will make a cloak for you.” Jun Wudao stepped forward and asked Zhong Yue to get up. She then took out a ruler to measure his body size. The ruler was as transparent as jade, it could enlarge and or shrink as she wields it. Seems like it was her soul weapon.

She was so close to Zhong Yue that Zhong Yue couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. He quickly cleared his mind and calmed himself, he asked, “Jun Wudao is just a name you use in the Prison Realm. Those in the Heaven Realm that can be titled as ‘Jun’ are no easy targets. Senior Martial Sister Wudao, is seems like it is not an easy task if you want to seek revenge.”

Jun Wudao’s hand trembled slightly, and she rolled a pair of white eyes at him, she said: “That’s none of your business!”

It was at that moment that Zhong Yue’s heart was moved by the beauty’s reaction. She immediately picked up the fluctuations in his emotions and she sneered, “You are tempted by me. I am going to change my clothes.” And she walked out right away.

Not long after, Jun Wudao changed back to the men’s clothes and continued to measure his body size. After measuring it, she said, “Leave the materials with me and after we leave the Ancient Land of God Graves. I will make your cloak and return it to you.”

Zhong Yue left the godly grosgrains, Tai Yin Qi and other materials. Just before he left, Jun Wudao suddenly said, “Your materials are in excess, if you are willing to teach me another skill, I can make something else for you.”

Zhong Yue mulled and asked, “What skill do you want?”

“I have seen you casting a skill, it looked like dragons and was a pair of scissors.” Jun Wudao’s psyche visualized a pair of scissors, she said, “My soul weapon is also a pair of scissors, so I want to learn this skill. I’ve taken your body measurements and am planning to make you a suit in exchange for that skill.”

“I see.” Zhong Yue thought and said, “I didn’t create this skill, [Dragon Shears] is someone else’s creation. But it is not impossible to teach it to you as I myself exchanged it from him with a price.”

His psyche flowed and the [Dragon Shears] was imparted to the overjoyed lady. Zhong Yue took a deep look at her and reminded, “This skill was countered before by King Geng.”

Jun Wudao smiled and said, “I can also counter it myself. But it is really powerful that it took me quite some time to find a solution to it. If this skill can be integrated into my scissors, I will be able to see great improvements in prowess! Evil God Zhong, thank you!”

She bowed like a man, and Zhong Yue returned the bow. He then got up and left.

The Heaven Girls’ grosgrains and the Weaving Girls’ clothes, I wonder what effect it will have on the body?

Zhong Yue left as he thought, King Geng’s Cauldron Realm is not far from here, let’s go play around with him.

Soon he arrived at the outside the palace, his psyche fluctuated and laughed, “King Geng, I’ve come to inaugurate our sworn brothership!”
