Chapter 1164 - Valley of Tang and Valley of Xi

Chapter 1164: Valley of Tang and Valley of Xi
In the ancient universe, the thousand-winged ancient ship casually sailed past a galaxy. In the ship, Zhong Yue’s psyche surged out as he visualized the ancient universe’s star map. He inspected the map carefully but still couldn’t find the galaxy that was formed by the ninth spiritual root.

Elder Qi, Elder Shan, you both have wide knowledge about the ancient universe, have you ever seen this galaxy before?
Zhong Yue summoned Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshi, he visualized the galaxy and asked.
Fu Qizhi and Fu Yanshan inspected the galaxy and searched through their memories, but both shook their heads in the end. Fu Qizhi answered solemnly,
My lord, the ancient universe is extremely vast. There are many secretive locations here and many more places we’ve never been.

Fu Yanshan continued,
Furthermore, my lord’s star map is incomplete, there are many missing parts.


My star map is incomplete?
Zhong Yue was startled. The star map was given to him by Mu Xiantian who also came from the ancient universe and a pupil to Dark Monarch, an innate god with incredible prowess. Thus, Zhong Yue had never actually questioned the completeness of the star map before.

The ancient universe is extremely vast. Although we of the Star Torrent Fortress have no fixed home and wander from one place to the other in the ancient universe, even we have merely been to at most one percent of the whole of the ancient universe.



Fu Li stepped in and said with a smile,
I’ve been to the lands of the celestials and also demons. From them, I’ve heard many stories, legends about many places in the ancient universe hidden away by the strong and powerful experts. The locations of these places were undetectable and unreachable without their permission.

Fu Yanshan said,
Furthermore, there are many galaxies that are uninhabited, these galaxies are not suitable to live in and cultivate. On top of that, there were even more devastated regions in the ancient universe, lands devoid of spiritual energies and nutrients for survival. If my lord wishes to find this place, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu would be your best bet. He’s been alive long enough, he must’ve been to many more places in the ancient universe. Maybe, he might’ve been to this galaxy before.

Zhong Yue frowned, but Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was entangled in a battle with Demon Monarch Yang Hou. Their locations were unknown to anyone now.

Xi’er, has Celestial Monarch returned to Valley of Tang Sacred Ground?
Zhong Yue asked.
Jin Hexi shook, she said worryingly,
Not yet. The elders in the Valley of Tang also haven’t received any word from him.

Zhong Yue locked his brows. It wasn’t easy for Demon Monarch Yang Hou to kill Celestial Monarch Jin Wu. They have been enemies for countless years, but were never able to actually kill the other. Even when Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was wounded, Demon Monarch Yang Hou still wouldn’t be able to kill him easily!
However, for Celestial Monarch Jin Wu to not send out any message, something else must’ve happened that caused him to disappear for so long!
Zhong Yue tried to run the calculations and concoct Demon Monarch Yan Hou’s Karmic Line, but just as he started to calculate, the Karmic Line had already shattered apart!
The demon monarch was a powerful one, he would be able to sense Zhong Yue’s divine calculations on him.
Zhong Yue mulled. Then, he tried to calculate Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s Karmic Line. This time, it went smoothly at the start as he started the calculations from the time he met Celestial Monarch Jin Wu until now.


But the calculations to divine a monarch’s past and future were extremely difficult, even Zhong Yue couldn’t do it.
Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s Karmic Line were successfully concocted but right after that, millions of Karmic Lines appeared out of nowhere and tangled with Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s Karmic Line. These Karmic Lines belonged to the lives that had crossed paths with Celestial Monarch Jin Wu in his life!
Zhong Yue struggled for tens of days but still couldn’t divine Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s location. He grew anxious and suddenly, cast out the Tian Pan to assist him in the calculations.
Another dozen days flashed by. With the help of Tian Pan’s uncanny calculatory ability, Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s Karmic Line was a fine line longer.
Immediately, a scene appeared in Zhong Yue’s vision. He saw countless suns rolling down from the skies and crashing into an ocean of stars.
The ocean of stars looked like a valley. A giant black hole was swirling at the valley’s center, pulling the suns down from the skies and diminishing them from within.
It was at this moment that Zhong Yue felt a strong power traveling through time and space from the other side of the universe. Celestial Monarch Jin Wu’s Karmic Line exploded away, and even Tian Pan was quivering from the impact force!

Go!
Zhong Yue shouted loudly, the thousand-winged ancient ship’s speed boosted and flashed out.
Behind him, the dimensions collapsed and a furry hand reached out of it and slammed down hard at the space, crushing everything around into dust!
Zhong Yue’s pupils dilated and he inhaled deeply, he said solemnly,
There is more than just Demon Monarch Yang Hou, there is another demon monarch! Xi’er, do you know where this is?



He visualized the swirling star ocean and the falling suns.
Jin Hexi exclaimed in shock, she said in terror,
It’s the Valley of Xi, the land where suns fall! Oh no, teacher is an innate Golden Crow monarch, he will face the Tribulation of Falling Sun in the Valley of Xi!


Tribulation of Falling Sun?
Zhong Yue frowned. Valley of Tang and Valley of Xi were two opposite innate sacred grounds. Celestial Monarch Jin Wu was born in Valley of Tang, the land where suns rose; whereas the Valley of Xi was the land where suns fell, the place of death for the suns.
For Celestial Monarch Jin Wu to be lured to the Valley of Xi, the situation had turned incredibly dire for him!

Are there any other monarchs in the demon race?
Zhong Yue calmed himself, he asked,
When I sensed Celestial Monarch Jin Wu, there was a demon monarch that sensed me. He is a powerful one, able to reach across half a universe to us. His prowess is no weaker than Celestial Monarch Jin Wu, he is definitely one of the ancient monarchs!

Jin Hexi shook,
That, I don’t know. The demon race has many hidden powers, including many demon monarchs… As for Valley of Xi’s location, that is something out of my knowledge. The ancient figures must’ve hidden it away. But my race has a few words about Valley of Xi, it said that the innate demon god that was born in it has died…


His name was Bo Xun, the opposition demon god born with Celestial Monarch Jin Wu.

Rays flashed in Zhong Yue’s eyes, he said,
If we can find Bo Xun’s symbiotic saint herb, I might be able to find where Valley of Xi is at!

Jin Hexi was bestirred, she quickly said,
We will head back to Valley of Tang to search the archives. There should be something about Bo Xun recorded in my race!

The thousand-winged ancient ship sailed closer to Valley of Tang Sacred Ground. The celestials and demons of the ancient universe were warring each other, the wars here were more tragic and dreadful than those in Zi Wei.


In Zi Wei, the losing party could still surrender if they were defeated and still be let alive. Furthermore, after surrendering to the winning side, they could still provide assistance to the winning side’s conquest and be rewarded for it.
But it wasn’t the same in the ancient universe. The animosity of the celestial race and demon race in the ancient universe was at its peak. Here, the celestials and demons would battle to the end of their lives and the last of their kind. They would always fight with all their might just to kill their opponents. They had no tolerance for surrender!
The defeated either ended up being part of a pile of dead bodies or war slaves that would be tormented for the rest of their lives!
It wasn’t news that the war slaves were sacrificed as materials to forge the divine weapons. Tens of thousands of war slaves were incinerated in the furnace, their divine blood and Daos extracted out of them to forge the divine weapons, and their soul and Yuan Shen used to forge the divine banners!
On his way, Zhong Yue saw hundreds of races annihilated in the wars. The wars were extremely gory!
Jin Hexi contacted the Valley of Tang and she said,
Yanghou Clan and its alliance are now attacking our Valley of Tang, even Innate Demon Monarch’s disciple is involved in the war. Our Jinwu Clan has allied with Tianyao Clan, but we were no match for them and forced to defend ourselves in the Valley of Tang. As of now, we are still unable to deescalate the danger. The sacred grounds of Dayu Clan and Dafan Clan are taken down, they are also in a precarious situation now.

Rays flashed in Zhong Yue’s eyes, he said,
Xi’er, ask the elders, who are the generals that are attacking Valley of Tang, what are their divine weapons and the types of skills they mastered.

Jin Hexi quickly asked. After a long time, she gathered enough intelligence on the enemies’ weapons and skills and she reported back to Zhong Yue,
The commander of the Yanghou Clan is its clan master, Yang Yuzun, he wields Demon Monarch Yang Hou’s innate monarch weapon Origin Demon Hook. The demon alliance has five other commanders, Dawu Clan’s Wu Yue, Zuochen Clan’s Chen Gongzheng, Sanke Clan’s Ke Xi, Diling Clan’s Di Yue, and Rongyuan Clan’s Yuan Dian. They are all peak Imperial Emperors and powerful experts. Wu Yue wields the monarch weapon Monarch Wu Bamboo Slip, Chen Gongzheng wields the monarch weapon Great Bo Bell, Ke Xi wields Sanke Clan’s Rotten Ke Wood, Di Yue wields the monarch weapon Demon Monarch Coffin…

Zhong Yue’s face changed slightly, he asked,
Why are there so many monarch weapons?

He only brought two monarch weapons with him, one was Hundun Yu’s Fusang Divine Tree and the other was Monarch Zao Hua’s Create Evolve Mystical Gate. On top of that, Tian Pan and Tian Yin were no weaker than the monarch weapons and also Zhong Yue’s thousand-winged ancient ship was even more mystical than the monarch weapons despite its shabby state.


But the demon race had six monarch weapons with them. Even though there wasn’t any monarch now in Jinwu Clan, they had still sent out six monarch weapons in the war. The demons sure had invested heavily in this war!

Other than the six monarch weapons, there are still five demon monarch spirits.
Jin Hexi sighed,
Darling, you didn’t know this before, but our ancient universe has the most monarchs in the cosmos. Many monarchs are fond to live a hermit life in the ancient universe and stay away from the worldly affairs and troubles. Although the official record says we have only six celestial monarch races and six demon races, there are actually many other races that have monarchs with them. Most of these monarchs were dead and their descendants were few in number, which is why they are often not known. But it is still possible for them to worship and summon their monarchs’ spirits down from the Void World.

Fu Li said solemnly,
Especially in the war between celestials and demons, it is common for the monarch spirits to get involved.

Zhong Yue’s scalp tingled upon hearing their explanation. Six monarch weapons and five demon monarch spirits, it was truly stunning that Jinwu Clan could still hold its stand for so long.

Our Jinwu Clan has the Fu Mountain, Fusang Tree, and Chaos Fire Ocean. This makes it difficult for the demons to defeat us. It requires the direct involvement of the monarchs to be able to break through our defenses.

Jin Hexi said,
But now, our Jinwu Clan is surrounded and besieged, assistance of the other celestial races are out of our reach. If this continues on until a demon monarch comes, we will lose our sacred ground.

Rays brimmed in Zhong Yue’s eyes, he said solemnly,
Xi’er, get your elders to cast the Fusang Tree and prepare for a counter attack! Senior Martial Brother Yu, cast your Hundun Clan’s Fusang Divine Tree! Fu Li, Elder Qi, Elder Shan, cast the Create Evolve Mystical Gate! Xi’er, cast out your second Yuan Shen!

Krong—

The thousand-winged ancient ship sailed into the Nether, the deepest part of dimensions, and sneaked into the demon alliance’s center camp. There, they saw many huge ancient warships, hovering demon mountains, flying demonic divine weapons, and countless demon gods. They were all pouncing on the Valley of Tang’s divine city wave after wave!
Then, there were millions of demon spirits centering the demon monarch spirits. The leading demon monarch spirit was waving a demonic hammer larger than a sun and hammered down on the divine city!
The thousand-winged ancient ship slipped past the demon weapons and rammed right at the back of Dawu Clan’s Wu Yue. Wu Yue was wielding the Monarch Wu Bamboom Slips and shot our millions of demon swords toward the divine city.
It was at this moment that a shabby warship appeared out of nowhere behind Wu Yue and rammed on her back. The thousand-winged ancient ship pressed on the peak Imperial Emperor and squished her to death like a tiny bug on the divine city’s city wall.
Her demonic blood splattered all over the surface of the city’s wall!
