Chapter 192 - The Divine Weapon — Golden Ship

The Yuan Shen’s third form was the prerequisite to advance into the level of Atman Body. The opening of the five Yuan Shen realms, and the acquisition of the Combat Yuan Shen formed the foundation on which a Qi Practitioner could advance into the level of Atman Body; however, in order to venture a step higher, not only would that cultivator have to coalesce his mortal body and the Yuan Shen into one, he would also need to open the third form of his Yuan Shen.

The third form was the strongest form of the Combat Yuan Shen. Taking Zhong Yue’s Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen as an example, the first form was a scorching sun, the Great Sun; the second form was the three-taloned Golden Crow, while the third and last form was a three-legged winged celestial being — the Golden Crow Celestial.

Zhong Yue had already opened both the first and second form when he was still in the level of Rebirth, but he had yet to open the final and strongest third form.

Zuo Xiangsheng’s Great Sun Fire Crow God, Xiao Chushan’s mastiff-headed celestial being, these were both only achievable when their mortal body had coalesced with their Yuan Shen’s third form.

When Zhong Yue battled with the Awakening Xiao Mang celestial, Xiao Jin; even Xiao Jin had yet to open the third form. One could infer how hard it was to open the Yuan Shen’s third form; not only would that the cultivator have to open all five realms, but his Yuan Shen must also be incredibly strong and powerful!

Through ordinary daily cultivation, it would take ages for Zhong Yue to open the five Yuan Shen realms. However, as he had reversed open the five wheels, all of his Yuan Shen secret realms were opened, allowing him to meet with the prerequisite of opening the Yuan Shen’s third form!

And now, he had eaten and refined a few Yang fishes; as the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen was the Pure Yang spirit of the sun, when it was nourished by the Yang Qi, it’s prowess started to increase exponentially, strengthening his Yuan Shen as it edged ever so closer to evolving to the third form!

If he could succeed in opening the third form, his Combat Yuan Shen’s combat capability would be a degree stronger, improving by leaps and bounds!

“This is indeed worthy as a secret realm of a fallen god, the treasures here are unimaginably valuable. These Yang fishes alone are unrivaled medicinal pellets to me, even better than the beast god inner core! However, even if I had opened the Yuan Shen third form, I still couldn’t coalesce my mortal body and the Yuan Shen together to break through to the level of Atman Body.”

Zhong Yue knew the problem that lied in his cultivation — his Wu Xing Realm was at its peak, and he could cultivate his Yin Yang Realm to the peak in this place; however, the Wan Xiang Realm, Shen Cai Realm and Dao Yi Realm were factors dragging him back from advancing to a higher level.

Without cultivating the Wan Xiang, Shen Cai and Dao Yi Realm to their peaks, he could never advance higher to the cultivation level of Atman Body.

Even so, it was an unexpected gift from life that exhilarated him greatly. After all, it had only been half a month’s time since his advancement into the Awakening level, and he has opened up all five realms. Moreover, he was at the brink of opening the Yuan Shen third form – all of these achievements could be taken as defiances of the natural order.

Even the celestials, or the gifted innate spirit body holders would not have been able to do the same!

As time passed, the number of Yang fish that came after him grew fewer as he continued to devour them, eventually managing to strengthen his Yuan Shen to an incredibly strong degree.

Zhong Yue turned back and pounced towards the shoaling Yang fishes, the three-taloned Golden Crow flared out the wings and launched the strong and powerful sword feathers, piercing through the sunfire rays and thrusting into the Yang fishes congregating in mid-air.

The sword feathers tossed the fish into chaos. All of the Yang fish immediately plunged and disappeared into the lava lake leaving behind a few fallen comrades while the ‘dead’ Yang fishes turned into the smaller fishes before dispersing in all directions.

Zhong Yue’s Yuan Shen took in a long breath and sucked in dozens of smaller Yang fish, he chased around to suck away the smaller Yang fishes. Meanwhile, he noticed that the Yang fish below in the lava lake started devouring one another, the bigger ones would devour the smaller ones and grow bigger while continuing to eat the others.

Soon, the hundreds of Yang fish were whittled down to a few gigantic Yang fish, and they were still devouring one another!

All of a sudden, the lava lake boiled up, and a thousand feet long giant fish leaped out from the lake. Opening its mouth wide and sucking in the air, it was as if its mouth had become a vacuum!

Zhong Yue quickly fluttered his wings and flew away, his heart was still thumping in shock; while the thousand feet long giant fish flew in the air like a hovering mountain ridge, lunging over at him with great speed!

Then smaller Yang fish flew over to be willingly devoured by the giant fish, making it larger!

“Shit, these Yang fish knew they couldn’t do anything against me, so they are trying to combine into a stronger and bigger one to defeat me by letting themselves be devoured!”

Zhong Yue’s hairs bristled up, the big Yang fish’s prowess was way stronger than him, he was no match for such a big guy!

“Quick, fly! Fly! Go faster!” Xin Huo, who was hiding behind his ear shouted.

Zhong Yue flared his wings and the Golden Crow left a trail of golden line on its back. Behind him, the sunfire rays blasted over like an ocean, the thousand feet long giant fish swam in the fire ocean fast like lightning while shooting out two rays of sunfire aiming at his back!

The three-taloned Golden Crow bolted over quickly, —Shua— it entered into Zhong Yue’s mortal body on the lakeside. As he recalled his Yuan Shen back into his body, Zhong Yue sprung himself up from the ground and flared out the golden wings —Bang bang bang— he cast all five Yuan Shen realms and bolted away!

The thousand feet long giant fish swam in the fire ocean and chased after him, wherever it went, the mountains would be ignited and burned in flames. Even the mountain ridges were reduced to lava that flowed down like a flaming waterfall!

“Pure Yang Sword Qi, Attack!”

Zhong Yue turned his head around, a ray of golden light shot out from his left eye, blasting onto the Yang fish. His Pure Yang Sword Qi had evolved, it was now stronger and more powerful; when the golden ray slashed down, the fish scales of the giant fish suddenly brightened up and a few giant scales were sliced away.

“What….”

Zhong Yue was shocked, the Pure Yang Sword Qi could be said to be one of his strongest skills, and yet, it barely sliced off a few fish scales, not even the flesh of the Yang fish was harmed.

He stomped in the air as fast as his legs could carry him while the wings fluttered violently behind him, employing the methods of the Martial Masters and the Golden Crow wings at the same time to augment his speed faster, bolting away like madman.

“This Yang fish is too strong, I’ll never be able to put up a fight against it. Avoiding it is my only option!”

However, no matter how hard he tried, the giant Yang fish was still tailing on his back, hunting for him. Xin Huo said anxiously, “The air of Yang Qi on you is too strong, the Yang fish can lock down on you, Brat Yue, switch to the moon spirit and morph into the Star Toad Yuan Shen!”

Zhong Yue was enlightened, he quickly cast the moon spirit and his Yuan Shen morphed into a giant Star Toad, the air of the Pure Yang Qi disappeared and was replaced by the air of the Pure Yin Qi.

Tens of miles behind him, the giant Yang fish startled as it lost him in its senses, it was only interested in the air of the Pure Yang Qi and not the Pure Yin. The giant fish lingered around on the spot for a few moments, searching for the Pure Yang Qi but to no avail. It wasn’t long before it flew back to the lava lake.

Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief, he covertly followed the giant fish back to the lava lake, thinking to himself, I’m only a half step away from opening the third form of my Golden Crow Yuan Shen, if only I can eat another one or two Yang fish … then I’ll be able to open my Combat Yuan Shen’s last and strongest form. If this Yang fish had been in the normal form of multiple Yang fish, I’ll just quickly grab one or two and run, I should be able to make it….

However, to his disappointment, the thousand feet long fish plunged into the lava lake and swam leisurely in it, showing no signs of dividing back to the normal fish.

Zhong Yue waited until his patience wore off, he thought, These Yang fish are getting smart, if that’s the case, I shouldn’t wait anymore, let’s just head for the Yin fishes first. The Yang Qi is now overly excessive in my Yin Yang Realm, purely relying on the sun and moon to rectify the imbalance of Yin and Yang Qi is too slow, problems are likely to occur if the process gets too long. To achieve the balance between the two Qi, I’ll have to cultivate my moon spirit Star Toad to the half-step third form the same way I did the Golden Crow spirit!

Before long, he had arrived at the place where the moonlight streamed down like a jade liquid from the sky. In stark contrast to the lava lake, this was an ice lake with snowy mountains surrounding the frosty lake. The Yin Qi cascaded down down like a serene waterfall onto the ice lake. It was so cold that the frostiness pervaded into his bones, even nearly freezing his Yuan Shen!

There was no water around, only frost ice as a result of the overpowering Yin Qi; Zhong Yue cast his gaze on the ice lake, vaguely being able to discern the silhouette of some pitch-black fish swimming in the ice while eating the Yin Qi away – it painted a marvelous scene!

The ice were physical objects, and yet, the Yin fishes could swim in it as if the ice were water; it was truly an amazing sight ot behold.

The Yin fishes and Yang fishes are all Qi forms in nature rather than bona fide physical entities; they were manifested by the Yang Qi and Yin Qi, that’s why they can swim in the solid bodies. Zhong Yue thought in his heart.

With the same trickery, he lured the Yin fish out of the ice lake with his Star Toad Yuan Shen, then proceeded to prey on them, absorbing and refining the Yin Qi, expanding his Yin Yang Realm and strengthening his Star Toad Yuan Shen, greatly boosting the prowess of his Yuan Shen!

A day’s has passed, I wonder if Elder Shui was able to survive the fight against the three magnates to escape?, Zhong Yue’s Star Toad Yuan Shen was getting stronger, as all of a sudden, he thought of the old man.

Krong——

Suddenly, the Yin Yang Realm he was in started to tremble violently, he was shocked and quickly looked over to the source of the sounds, and an earth-shocking scene came into his eyes.

A rift in space appeared in the sky of this Yin Yang Realm while surges of godly aura suffused throughout the air from within the rift, and as he looked up, an awe-inspiring scene came into his vicinity. Glistening in golden rays, and engraved with obscure and mysterious totem carvings, the golden ship brushed through the sides of the secret realm at an oblique angle.

The golden ship crossed paths with the godly spirit secret realm, quaking the realm incessantly as the godly aura suppressed and disintegrated the mountain ridges in the realm, shattering off the mountain rocks in bits and pieces; while Zhong Yue was also shuddered by the immense force, causing blood to trickle down from his apertures!

“A divine weapon!”

Xin Huo shouted in shock, he quickly yelled, “The godly aura is too overpowering, Brat Yue, cast the five realms and visualize the Sui Sovereign!”

Zhong Yue cast all five realms and visualized the Fire Order Palace and Sui Sovereign, warding off against the godly aura with the imperial air of the Sui Sovereign. The overwhelming godly aura was like an invisible mountain that was tardily crushing down, suppressing and quaking the Yin Yang Realm, compressing the earth and made it sank!

Right at this time, another two aureate auras emerged in the secret realm. They came from the scorching sun and the bright moon in the sky; as these three godly auras clashed and collided with one another, the sky fissured from the sheer pressure and loud cracking sounds resounded as the sky continued to tear apart!

The Yuan Shen secret realm of this godly spirit was on the verge of shattering under the pressures of the godly auras!

The three godly auras suffused the air, although they were not directly acting on him, the lingering suppression from the godly auras was still unbearable to him. Even if he had cast all five realms and visualized the Sui Sovereign, it was still something beyond the limits of what he could withstand!

The sounds of rattling bone came from his body and his skin started to crack as blood trickled out of his body. The blood suspended in the air surrounding around him and the immense pressure caused the blood droplets to fission into smaller and smaller fragments. Before long, the originally dense blood droplets transformed into a fine mist of sanguine red!

In the sky, the humongous golden ship slowly moved, clashing incessantly with the secret realm. The ship sailed forward without slowing down, soon, the intersection of their paths would finish, but such a short period of time was seemingly never-ending.

It was a broken divine weapon forged in the shape of a golden ship, and it would be one of the divine weapons used by the celestials in the interception battle that transpired here tens of thousand years ago. There were battle marks from soul weapons etched on the surface of the lustering golden ship. While broken swords, broken axes, and shattered shields filled the deck of the ship. Those were soul weapons left behind by the human ancestors of the Great Wilderness when they attacked the golden ship. One could infer how brutal and gory the battles were just by looking at its aftermath that had persisted even after these thousands of years.

Finally, the ship sailed past the secret realm, their intersection of course ended earlier than expected as the later half of the golden ship was splitted off as if a sword had sliced the golden hull down the middle!

“Finally, it sailed away….”

Zhong Yue heaved a breath of relief. All of a sudden, there was an item that slipped off from the deck of the golden ship and fell down like a golden meteor into the mountains, penetrating through a huge mountain!
