Chapter 287


– The Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner

These footprints belong to dragons, should be the footprints left behind by the two fire dragons of Xia Hou. There should be no danger if we follow these footprints.

Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er looked around, and at the same time, they realized that the traces of battles that occurred in the Jade Dragon camp were much scarier than those in the Divine Battlefield. These four base camps belonged to the guardians of their king’s mausoleum, they were stationed here to guard the tomb against any trespassers, and one would have to go through them first in order to enter the tomb.
And with that being said, it would be no surprise if Xia Hou targeted these four camps for he was looking for the location of the mausoleum!
There should be more than one planet like this one.
Zhong Yue looked above, and he saw other planets that hung up in the sky above the land they were standing on, each linked together by mountains. Judging by the similarities, these planets were probably camps filled with gods and demons that played the role as the guardians of the mausoleum!
It was never easy to get a hold of the exact location of the mausoleum as other than taking down the four base camps in this planet, Xia Hou would also have to deal with the demons and gods on the other planets and destroy the camps.
Did these guardians rise from their slumber and fight with Xia Hou?
Zhong Yue was a little confused as the cycle of life and death as it pertained to demons and gods was already beyond the scope of his comprehension. Xia Hou was someone from five million years ago, and in his era, these demons and gods had died for a time as long as another five million years, so how would a fight between them occur?
But there are lots of treasures here. I wonder who would be able to get their hands on them?
Zhong Yue looked at the shattered pieces of the godly weapons, bones of the demons and gods, the secret realms, totem pillars, and many more items that were unbelievably strong. But as long as the aura of these gods and demons remained, it would be almost impossible to retrieve these treasures.
Thus, although Zhong Yue wanted these items badly, he did not dare to make a move for he knew that even Heavenly Dharma level Qi Practitioners would be killed if they touched this debris recklessly, let alone an Atman Body level Qi Practitioner like him.
At the same time, the other Qi Practitioners that entered this place walked forward along the path that Xia Hou once walked, trying their best to salvage and scavenge any items they deemed worthy at the border of the battlefield in hopes of obtaining something precious enough. The results of their efforts, however, were highly unknown to the others.
Suddenly, people could be seen moving in between the camps and explosions created by the collision of skills could be heard faintly. Next, a humongous phantom of a god as tall as thousand meters arose from the camp and let out a fearsome shout!
Then, a celestial being appeared at the opposite of the first god’s phantom and the two giants fought together, turning the surrounding into a hellish abyss.
The phantom of the gods from the Jade Dragon Camps….
Zhong Yue turned very serious as the appearance of these gods’ phantom meant only one thing: Xia Hou did not remove the dangers around this place entirely. The celestial being appeared suddenly was the Martial Divine Master from the Zhong Li Celestial Race, and Zhong Yue thought to himself, Such a ferocious battle. Could it be that the Zhong Li Celestial Race’s people triggered the traps here and accidentally freed the phantom of the gods, and they had no choice but to summon the Martial Divine Master to fend off the phantoms?
There was more than just them that entered the Heavenly Monarch Residence as older and younger generations of the Zhong Li Celestial Race had also entered this place. They brought along various precious items and spirits belonging to their race with them while plotting something big.
Xia Hou is the ancestor of the Zhong Li Celestial Race, and the arrival of those from the older generation of the Zhong Li Celestial Race was probably arranged by Xia Hou long ago. For now, we should back off as this place is not safe anymore with the fight going on right now.
Zhong Yue then said,
Junior martial sister, let us go and look for Ao Shanshan, and we shall leave after we get her. This place is no longer safe!

Qiu Jin’er nodded, and they started looking for Ao Shanshan as they walked forward while they got closer and closer to the battle scene of the two giants. Suddenly, the god’s phantom disappeared while the Martial Divine Master remained standing on the ground firmly.
Then, loud laughter could be heard from the front, and the divine third eye appeared again on Zhong Yue’s forehead. Through his divine third eye, Zhong Yue saw a few Martial Heavenly Masters standing on the shoulder of the Martial Divine Master, and they were laughing and saying,
Hahaha, we have finally lifted the final seal here, we can now proceed with the arrangements made by our ancestors and reopen the mausoleum!

One of them then said,
With the other camps taken down, all we have left is only the Jade Dragon Camp. As long as we remove the final Jade Dragon Banner, we will have it placed around with the other banners to activate the arrangements made by our ancestors! At last, after five million years of waiting, the Zhong Li Celestial Race will finally take over the mausoleum!


Gentlemen, who among us shall claim this Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner for our people?

Zhong Yue looked at the banner they were talking about, it stood about a few thousand meters tall. A triangular flag with drawings of an Azure Dragon hung on the banner. Then, one of them flew towards the banner, grabbed onto the flagpole and pulled it up.
The flagpole along with the triangular flag then became smaller and smaller, and the Martial Heavenly Master said,
Now all we got to do is place this banner with the others….

Boom-
The Lesser Void World suddenly cracked, and scorching divine rays shot out from the dimension cracks which appeared on the top of the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner, sweeping across the entire camp.

It’s a trap, retreat!

Dying shrieks could be heard while the Martial Heavenly Masters evaporated immediately, and the Martial Divine Master disintegrated under the extreme heat of the divine rays!

Jin’er, close your eyes!

Zhong Yue shouted as he felt immense pain in his divine third eye as soon as the rays appeared. He quickly closed his eyes, but it was too late as blood started dripping out from his eyes.
Although the divine rays were not even close to him, his eyes immediately got hurt after he looked at the divine rays!
After a brief moment, Zhong Yue opened up his eyes, and he quickly looked towards Qiu Jin’er, only to find blood also dripping from her eyes as well.

Senior martial brother, I can’t see anymore…,
the girl said helplessly as the bloody tears continued to flow.
Zhong Yue asked her to open up her eyes so he could check on her situation and he said with relief,
Don’t worry, just some minor injuries, with the strong life force and life energy of a Wood Innate Spirit Body, you will recover in no time. Junior martial sister, wait here for a moment while I go to the front and look for Ao Shansha.

Jiu Qin’er nodded while Zhong Yue walked away. He passed masses of severed corpses that were sliced in half by the divine rays.
There were also some who managed to escape the divine rays, but despite their bodies remaining intact, their brains and eyes were vaporized from within by the sheer power of the divine rays.
Ao Shanshan is dead too….
Zhong Yue suddenly found a decapitated dragon head lying on the ground somewhere not too far away from his position. When he got close and took a careful look at it, he realized that this dragon head belonged to Ao Shanshan. He inspected her psyche ocean and found that there were no signs of Yuan Shen’s and its secret realms’ destruction, common signs of a person’s death.
So the Lang Ya Board is still working at this area, the dead ones will still be revived by the Lang Ya Board and … Huh?
Zhong Yue suddenly stopped what he was doing as he saw a banner somewhere not far in front of him, the flag hanging on the pole flapped with the wind, and the Azure Dragon drawings on the flag seemed alive!
It was the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner that those Zhong Li Celestial Race’s people wanted so badly!
Zhong Yue’s heart thumped as he looked at the banner blankly and when he unconsciously approached it, he felt that its power was far tamer and restrained when compared to other divine weapons.
Godly weapon! This is definitely an incredibly amazing godly weapon!
Zhong Yue cleared his throat, and he quickly grabbed and hurled the banner into his Yuan Shen Secret Realm before he walked away with a rapid heartbeat.
This banner was definitely something incredible! Those Martial Heavenly Master said that the banner was a crucial part of the arrangements that Xin Hou made previously to summon the mausoleum.
He then moved as fast as lightning towards Qiu Jin’er and his psyche gushed out. He lifted the girl up and said,
Junior martial sister, let’s go, quickly!

The entire Zhong Li Celestial Race had been planning this for a long time, and from that, the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner was no doubt something important to them.
And aside from the importance of this banner to them, just the role of this banner as the core of the Jade Dragon Camp’s array would be able to show the value of this godly weapon!
This was also the first time Zhong Yue got his hands on a godly weapon in perfect condition!
The Lang Ya Board will definitely revive those Zhong Li Celestial Race Martial Heavenly Masters, and they will rush back here as fast as they can for this banner. We have to go now!
Zhong Yue moved faster and faster, rushing out from the Jade Dragon Camp like the wind while carrying Qiu Jin’er. They traveled all the way up to the mountain and charged straight into the continental where the Heavenly Monarch Residence was located.
With his steadily increasing speed, they started to get closer and closer to their destination.
At the same time, the revived Zhong Li Celestial Race Martial Heavenly Masters immediately gathered together, sat down and started recovering their power with serious expressions.
On the other hand, the head of Xia Family ordered,
Contact Elder You and Elder Quan immediately, dispatch to the Jade Dragon Camp and retrieve the Azure Dragon Cloud Marked Banner. Remember, we can’t afford any mistakes!

One of the member from Xia Family nodded, took out a mirror and started writing down a few sentences on the mirror. Meanwhile, a magnate figure of the Zhong Li Celestial Race who was standing at one of the guardian camps suddenly took out a mirror which sentences started emerging on the mirror, and his face changed immediately. He then flew up straight into the air and began rushing towards the Jade Dragon Camp as fast as lightning.
At the same time, Zhong Yue who was traveling towards his destination on the ocean suddenly had his face changed.
Hu-
As soon as he saw an old man shrouding in flame flying towards the Jade Dragon Camp, his face changed and he immediately turned around towards the Jade Dragon Camp as well.
The old man, who was the magnate figure of the Zhong Li Celestial Race just now immediately had his psyche scanned through Zhong Yue thoroughly before he continued his mission.
After the old man disappeared from his vision, Zhong Yue felt relieved, and he turned back again, rushing towards the Divine Jungle.
Some moments later, in the Divine Jungle, Zhong Yue held the propitious lantern in his hand while the lantern screamed,
Hero, please don’t kill me, I swear I saw nothing!

Qiu Jin’er on the side who pitied the lantern said,
Senior martial brother….

Zhong Yue however, shook his head and said,
But this lantern knows too much….

The lantern immediately shouted,
Spare me, please! I still have….

Zhong Yue interrupted it and said,
Spit out the head in your tummy.

The lantern quickly spat out the head, and as soon as the head left the body of the lantern, its face disappeared, and the lantern was no longer capable of talking.
Zhong Yue then smashed the head spat out by the lantern, and he released the lantern, which then flew far away stupidly.
He then had his clothes wrapped around the head of Qiu Jin’er and brought her all the way out of the Divine Jungle. Not long later, the dimensional crack out of this place could already be seen, and Zhong Yue said,
As soon as he left this place, we will leave the Lesser Void World as soon as possible. If we encountered any interrogation, we have to say that we had not been to the army camps at all!
