Chapter 1116: Fish Pond
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Hua Qianwen was boisterous and exuberant, and she could discover things others would be oblivious to, something even Zhong Yue had to admit was impressive.
Any existence that stood on the same level as the Innate Saint Spirit Body was all incredible.
After bidding farewell to Hua Qianwen, Zhong Yue returned to Goddess Shen Hou and the goddess praised after taking a few glances at Zhong Yue,
Good, even stronger than before. young Fuxi, the stronger you are, the happier I will be, but so will my worry increase.

Confused at such a statement, Zhong Yue smiled,
Goddess, I know that this is something to be happy about, but where is your worry from?


I’ve seen mortals’ fish farming, they always start by breeding fishes, feeding them every day and caring for them.



Goddess Shen Hou did not answer Zhong Yue’s question directly,
Once the fish are ready to be harvested, they would net them up, if there are still immature fish, they would release these fish back into the water while the matured fish are eaten.


Goddess, you think that some kind of existence is rearing me to catch me and eat me when I’m strong enough?

A smile uncontrollably split on Zhong Yue’s face,
Who is capable of this? Is he not worried at all? That the fish he thinks is weak is actually an alligator that would eat him alive instead?

Goddess Shen Hou rolled her eyes and mocked,
You? The alligator? You overestimate yourself and underestimate them. What they breed is not just a fish but a whole pond of fish. And they have been doing this for a very long time, since all the way back to the Fire Order Era. They also bred monstrous sized fish but without a fail, these fishes were all netted and eaten alive by them! None of these fishes are any smaller than you, their identity and origin is much scarier than you could imagine!

Zhong Yue blinked his eyes and said,
Oh? So the goddess knows something, why don’t you share it with me?

Goddess Shen Hou said,
What if I told you that the improvements of Dao skills are actually them breeding the postnate living beings, so that the postnate living beings could use their intelligence to help these existences develop and perfect Dao skills? And what if I told you that the postnate living beings will be harvested and eaten alive when the time is right? Now, do you still think that things are as simple as you thought?

A cold shivered down Zhong Yue’s spine hearing this.

And when the Heavenly Monarchs are getting old, they would start causing trouble but some of them would still die in these fishermen’s hands, ending up tragically. This is their fishing operation, what do you think?

Zhong Yue trembled again and a scary thought emerged in his mind.

Forget about those really old ones, let’s talk about the recent ones. If you ran into Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s monarch spirit, you can ask him about the cause of his death, and the other one, how did Dao Venerate Fu Min die? Why had Xin Huo gone into a slumber so long? Do you think all of these happened because it’s only time to happen?
said Goddess Shen Hou,
Do you think that the postnate living beings are really the rulers of this universe? Have you not noticed that your fate and destiny, all of it is being controlled by something?



Zhong Yue couldn’t help but feel cold,
What do you know, goddess.

Goddess Shen Hou sighed and she waved her hand in exhaustion,
I do know a lot but some things can’t be spoken. Right now, all you need to know is that there is an organization that had existed ever since the Dark Age. Heh, postnate living beings? Rulers of the universe? They’ve never been the rulers of this universe…. Never….

Zhong Yue was dumbfounded by this revelation, his mind went blank and after shaking away his shock, he calmed himself down.
An organization that controlled the destiny of all living beings and the universe’s operation?
One that would harvest the pool when it was time?
A mastermind behind the history responsible for ending an era?
Wasn’t this just way too crazy?
But if Goddess Shen Hou refused to talk about it anymore, it would be inappropriate for Zhong Yue to ask anymore, leaving him with a heart pumping quickly over the shock he received.
Sometime later, with his shock cleared, Zhong Yue bowed and said,
Goddess, there are two Daos that I fail to understand, they are the Heaven Dao and Innate Mountain Dao, could you please teach me?


Innate Mountain Dao, Heaven Dao?



Surprised by this request, Goddess Shen Hou thought for a while and said,
I know little about the Heavenly Dao, my sister and Lei Zhe know more about it but… Shame….

She shook her head and said,
Maybe try Lei Zhe Sacred Ground and see Leizhe’s shed body but his condition is a little terrible right now….

She did not say much about this and continued,
Lei Zhe Sacred Ground, the ancient Lei Zhe Realm is in the lower realm but its core, the place that births the innate celestial dragon has been moved to Zi Wei, it was also destroyed in a battle. Go and meet Chuo Long, if you are lucky enough, you may be able to find Leizhe’s shed body, as for the Innate Mountain Dao….


You should head to the north of Zi Wei, there is an innate sacred ground there, one from the ancient universe, which probably is the most ancient sacred mountain in the whole universe. You might find the thing you want there, but that place….

She hesitated for a second and Zhong Yue tried his luck,
Yuan Ya Deity King’s innate sacred ground?

His guess caught Goddess Shen Hou’s off guard, had her shouting,
You even know about him?


His disciple and I have crossed paths a few times.

Zhong Yue got up and took his leave, but not before he bowed,
Thank you for your time, your humble disciple will now take his leave. Fair well, goddess.

Goddess Shen Hou hesitated for a second and said,
Be careful, become the alligator you think you are as soon as possible or you will end up being eaten.

Zhong Yue then took his leave, in his heart, he was a little anxious as the 30-year promise with Mu Xiantian was just around the corner. As per the promise, he was to attack the Heaven Court now.


But in order to achieve the Innate Mountain Dao, he first had to enter Yuan Ya Deity King’s sacred ground.
Yuan Ya Deity King is a powerful enemy, sneaking into his sacred ground will be impossible, at least not at my level.
Zhong Yue thought for a while and he returned to Huaxu Sacred Ground to find Goddess Shen Hou,
Goddess, if Yuan Ya Deity King leaves his nest, can you please notify me beforehand?

Goddess Shen Hou gave Zhong Yue a look and she immediately guessed his plan and she waved,
Okay, now go.

Zhong Yue boarded his ancient ship and left for Imperial Star.
His [Innate Eight Trigrams] was about to be completed. Among the Tai Chi, Four Symbols, and Eight Trigrams, only two Daos were yet to be completed, being the Heaven Dao and Innate Mountain Dao.
Mountains, the ups and downs unpredictable and rock solid, gathering the forte of fortify and endless changes, hence, it was a must for Zhong Yue to witness Yuan Ya Deity King’s innate sacred ground.
As for the Heaven Dao, it was even more difficult.
30 Drawings of Heavenly Daos talked about Daos and from them, perhaps Zhong Yue could achieve this Dao by observing and studying the drawings.
Zhong Yue was left uneasy as he thought of the organization mentioned by Goddess Shen Hou and from the history and the world as he knows right now, he could also discover some traces.


Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s passing was very odd, he saw the Heavenly Monarch’s prince, Ye Taizi. From a prince, he has now turned into a raider, living with a group of evil characters serving under Si Ming. The reason why Ye Taizi was who he was now was because he seemed to know something about Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s death.
And there was more, the war that ended the Fire Order Era, the chaotic years, the living beings suppressed by Monarch Pao Xi and Goddess Nuwa. There were also the Evil Monarch, Dark Monarch, and the other ancient beings.
He even heard that there were some that escaped from the Heavenly Prison, raining chaos everywhere during the Heavenly Monarch’s late years, were they also from the organization?
But if the Earth Order Era’s ending had something to do with this organization, then it was just way too scary.
But when he thought of it again, the Heavenly Monarchs were all extraordinary, the best of the best, and if they were all fish being bred and eaten from time to time, then this truth was beyond hopeless.
Could it be that the creation of Six Paths and Reincarnation by Dao Venerate Fu Min and Goddess Hou Tu are also a part of their plan, which they benefited the most from? Then is the Seven Paths Reincarnation their plan as well? Am I doing the work for them, without me knowing?
Zhong Yue calmed himself down, the Dao skills improved under the work of the postnate living beings, but in the end, they were only completing the work and responsibility of a bunch of parasites! This was not fair at all!
Suddenly, the thousand winged ancient ship trembled vigorously, Zhong Yue’s heart thumped for he saw a golden dragon crawling out from the dimensions, ramming onto the ancient ship and throwing it off balance.
With a roar, Zhong Yue’s energy wrapped around the ship, regaining the balance, but the golden dragon was still circling in the air, ramming towards the ancient ship before it twined around the ship. Its claws grabbed onto the ship and its head looked right at Zhong Yue who was standing on the ship’s deck.
An exotic item made from innate god’s tendon?
Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat, this golden dragon was not a real dragon but an innate god’s tendon. It had no dragon scales and no horn.
The body of this golden dragon was so smooth, it had no bones and even its claws, head, teeth and head were all made from tendons.
Yet its power was so strong, when it halted the ship, even the ship wasn’t able to advance any further!
This wasn’t just some kind of item made from ordinary innate god’s tendon!
Zhong Yue raised his head, looking right at the dragon’s head and bursting out laughing,
Innate Celestial Monarch’s disciple, Shen Xiage? Senior Martial Brother Xiage, I’ve heard of your name for a very long time and we also met each other during the monarch meeting, but I did not see you displaying your strength. Now that you are already here, why don’t you show yourself?

The golden dragon opened its mouth, between the fangs of the dragon stood a tall man, on top of him were fangs, beside him was the dragon’s tongue, flicking around quickly.
It was Shen Xiage, innate Celestial Monarch’s disciple.
Shen Xiage’s forehead split apart, revealed his divine third eye. His vision landed on Zhong Yue and he said,
It was really tough to find you, King Yi. I followed your trails through thousands of dimensions, but I finally found you. Hehehe….

A smile spread across his face,
Mo Yuanlie and Xie Yang, those fools are looking for you as well but here I am, having found you ahead of them.

Zhong Yue replied with an eerie smile,
But did you know that Mo Yuanlie is dead?

Shen Xiage’s expression froze for a second and Zhong Yue continued,
Fortunately, you are here quickly, so Mo Yuanlie will not be lonely on the way into hell!
