Chapter 785: Unexpected

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

When Bo Di arrived at Zi Wei Galaxy, he was no longer the Bo Di who was proud and arrogant.

Zhong Yue was a little surprised; back when they were still in the lower world, one could clearly feel that Bo Di disdained them. Now, however, after seeing so many experts and some with talent superior to his, Bo Di had finally learned his lesson.

A little struggle in his life is good for him. Seems like he’s finally learned to escape from my shadows.

Zhong Yue praised in his heart, but on the outside, he continued to emit an unstoppable aura that dwarfed Bo Di’s, Dong Ah’s and Xi He’s. While facing against Zhong Yue, they felt that Zhong Yue was a massive mountain and they were merely just an ant!

Zhong Yue was not the same as he was back in the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds anymore. After experiencing the 81st level of Lei Zhe Realm’s power, he cultivated the innate body, triggered the Heavenly Tribulation, which he overcame and ascend as a god.

His body itself was far stronger than many and his aura was just like divine aura high above everyone else, emanating an aura beyond reproach!

Successfully walking out from my shadow? Well then, let me give you another one! Zhong Yue thought.

What a strong existence! Is he really a god? Bo Di’s expression was grim and he started activating [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art].

Zhong Yue, who was simply standing there, on the other hand, gave off a feeling that slowly pressured Bo Di more and more. Zhong Yue then became larger and larger in Bo Di’s view and Bo Di felt that he became punier as time passed.

How was it possible for an ant to attack someone standing as high as the heaven? It was exactly just like the ant trying to lift the heavens up, the mantis trying to stop a rampaging cargo!

Bo Di started to sweat profusely. He desperately tried to shatter the pressure on him, but no matter how hard he tried, Zhong Yue image seemed to remain deeply rooted in his mind.

Time slowly passed and even though it was just a couple of minutes, it had already felt like an eternity of torment for Bo Di.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue’s aura wavered for a split second and Bo Di immediately took advantage. He unleashed the power he had been channeling and imbued it with everything he had learned and studied ever since arriving in the Zi Wei Galaxy!

[Saint Ritual of The Heaven Star]!

This was something he learned from the [Innate Saint Ritual Mystic Art]; by visualizing the stars and sacrificing them, he will be bestowed with great power!

His energy and psyche gushed out, creating massive stars in the void and forming an ancient altar surrounded by Tian Tu totem patterns!

Bo Di’s aura spiked right away and he finally shattered Zhong Yue’s pressure! He felt extremely good from the bottom of his heart and he felt that this attack was the strongest hit in his life.

Under Zhong Yue’s pressure, Bo Di had almost lost himself, but now, he felt extremely good after that pressure had vanished!

He even felt that after launching this attack, his cultivation had even slightly risen!

But at the moment his skill was launched, Zhong Yue’s aura spiked again and crushed Bo Di’s mental and confidence like it was nothing!

Fear began to encroach upon Bo Di’s mind once again. Zhong Yue had now become even larger than before; everything he had done just then was nothing more than a joke!

With that, Bo Di lost his senses and missed his attack. It flew right past Zhong Yue and anticlimactically hit the ground.

Pu—

Bo Di spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale and he fell a few steps backwards. Zhong Yue then dispersed his presence and asked empathetically, “Little friend… senior martial brother, are you alright?”

Bo Di replied with a simple shake of his head; he was not hurt by Zhong Yue but himself. He experienced great happiness and terrifying depression all within the span of a few breaths. His hopes reach an unprecedented high only to be mercilessly crushed. It was the depression and his shattered confidence that caused him to suffer his injuries.

In truth, Zhong Yue did not even move at all, not even a finger. He merely stood there and did nothing and he did not even try to dodge Bo Di’s attack. However, simply through his aura, he managed to crush Bo Di and his Dao’s heart.

Dong Ah, Xi He, and the others were witnessing all of this in utter shock and fear; without even moving an inch, this human Yi Feng was had injured someone like Bo Di!

If Bo Di can’t kill him, the Imperial Emperor’s disciple will not as well. Teacher’s plan has failed.

Dong Ah and Xi He exchanged looks as this thought crossed their minds.

Suddenly, a god observing at the side asked curiously, “Yi Feng, you called Bo Di as little friend, is this not your first life?”

The other gods realized this as well and they all looked at Zhong Yue.

Zhong Yue on the other hand, hesitated and he said openly, “If everyone here promises not to say anything, I will tell you the truth.

Everyone’s attention and interest were all brought up by Zhong Yue and they all promised, “Just tell us, we won’t say a word about your story!”

Bo Di was also curious and he added, “Don’t worry, we are all men of our words. We wouldn’t go back against our words!”

Zhong Yue let out a relieved breath and he explained, “To be honest, I was an innate god in my previous life.”

He paused for a moment and everyone around looked at each other and they saw realization among each other. A lady from the top ten Qi Practitioners in 3,000 Six Paths World then murmured, “No wonder you had the innate presence…”

“With a human body, you managed to reach such an extent, you live up to your identity as an innate god!”

After a moment of hesitation, Zhong Yue continued, “I was a Creator among the innate gods in my previous life but one day during seclusion, my location was discovered by my enemy. Through nefarious means, he injured me severely, and after I escaped with barely a breath left, I had no choice but to reincarnate. Shame…”

Zhong Yue said, “In my previous life, I knew not of age or death. I will not die as long as I was not killed. But after being reborn as a human, not only am I cursed with a lowly bloodline, my lifespan had been cursed too……”

As he said, he suitably put up a morose expression.

The others, however, failed to notice that Zhong Yue was just acting; innate gods were immortal and this Yi Feng was unceremoniously jettisoned from that legendary class of existence to be subject to the lowest possible bloodline in the universe.

From immortality to a life where he would die of old age just like the other creature, it really is a great sadness.

Everything from Zhong Yue’s possession of the innate Qi, his ability to defeat Bo Di effortlessly without moving were all conveniently explained from this backstory. He was an innate god and a Creator that possessed ability far beyond their knowledge that ordinary Imperial Emperors might be of no match for him.

Also, with his knowledge that far outstripped the likes of Bo Di’s, it should have come as no surprise that he managed to overwhelm Bo Di.

With a baritone voice, Zhong Yue said seriously, “Please, say no words about what you just heard, dear senior martial brothers and sisters.”

Everyone nodded except for Dong Ah and Xi He as they both thought, It’s definitely not a problem to us but if teacher asks, we have no choice but to tell him everything.

Zhong Yue, however, did not notice this and his eyes blinked and he said with a smile, “I heard that everyone is trying to test their strengths?”

The many gods and demons laughed and said, “We did not know that you were a reborn innate god but since we know now, we no longer dare to challenge you!”

A lady said, “Senior martial brother, you have much higher seniority than us and yet you still address us as your senior martial brothers and sisters. Don’t you think you are being way too polite? How about this, we will call you as senior martial brother and you can call us junior martial brother and sister!”

Zhong Yue burst out laughing and said, “Ok, I’ll grant you your wish then!”

Hearing this, everyone was surprised and happy at the same time for it was an honor that a reborn innate god recognized them as his junior martial brothers and sisters!”

Though they were the disciples of Imperial Emperor Xian Tian, the number of disciples he had amounted to at least a million!

Imperial Emperor Xian Tian was a person who valued talented individuals greatly; as long as he noticed any talented one, he would take them in. With this method, he had managed to grow his power base to encompass the entire Zi Wei Galaxy.

However, with the huge number of disciples, Imperial Emperor Xian Tian spent a puny amount of time on everyone and he barely had the time to teach them.

Hence, if they were supported by Zhong Yue, they could ask Zhong Yue if they ran into a problem in cultivation and Zhong Yue could help them if they are in trouble.

“After becoming a god, you would need someone to test your skills now so why don’t you challenge the others on the same level and same age around Zi Wei Galaxy?”

Zhong Yue smiled and said, “A battle is the best lesson you can ever have. Only by tempering your abilities through battle will you be able to improve even more. Ladies and gentlemen, you should challenge the strongest among each race so that you can improve even further!”

Everyone nodded against his words and they said, “This is indeed a brilliant suggestion. Battling a strong foe is really one of the best ways!”

Dong Ah and Xi He, on the other hand, had their jaws opened so wide that they could reach the ground; they were here to kill this Yi Feng and now, the situation had turned out like this.

“Senior Martial Brother Yi Feng, why don’t you come with us?”

A god said, “With someone like you standing at the side, we could fight without holding back and without fear of getting ourselves killed.”

Zhong Yue frowned right away and this immediately caused the gods and demons to felt uneasy. He pretended to be very troubled by this suggestion and after a moment, he said, “Fine. Now I’m living under the same roof as Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and you guys are his disciples. If I don’t promise you and accidentally offend him, I might not be able to face his wrath. I’ll go with you!”

Everyone got extremely happy and Dong Ah and Xi He looked at each other with an empty mind; not only did Zhong Yue not get killed, but he was also viewed highly now and these gods and demons even wanted Zhong Yue to accompany them as they headed out to train themselves.

Things had really turned out the way he least wanted them to.

Teacher, this man is not one to be messed around with.

Left with no other option, the duo complained bitterly in their hearts, Not only he is not easy to be dealt with, but even we are beginning to grow fond of him as well!

Everyone then left Zhong Yue’s palace happily as they smiled and talked to each other. Dong Ah and Xi He exchanged looks again and they suddenly said, “Dear senior martial brothers and sisters, we have to get back to our teacher and report to him about our whereabouts and where are we heading.”

Zhong Yue nodded and said, “Make sure you will be back in no time!”

Dong Ah and Xi He immediately excused themselves and reported back to King Zi Guang without hiding anything, to which King Zi Guang had a shock and suddenly sneered, “Reborn innate god? I can’t believe you believed him just like that! I need to see him personally and see if he is a real innate god!”
