Chapter 446

– Pan Gu Six Paths
Behind them, a huge face lowered down and stared at them.
This was a godly spirit that wasn’t completely destroyed. Fissures crawled across its face like a fishnet, and holes were everywhere on its body, especially the huge hole at its heart. One of its legs was severed, and one of its eyeballs was dangling below its eye socket.
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er were flashing out like lightning, but the godly spirit’s face was still drawing nearer to them, getting bigger and bigger.
Suddenly, Zhong Yue’s vision blacked out again, and the Fire Order Palace and Sui Sovereign in his psyche ocean slowly faded away.
Zhong Yue’s heart sank. The godly aura grew stronger as it drew nearer to them. It was even able to suppress his arcane energy, psyche, Yuan Shen, and senses. He was blockaded from perceiving the outside world!
This spirit is way too strong, and it is close to us. That’s why it can even suppress my visualized Sui Sovereign!
He concentrated on his eyes, but nothing came into his vision. He diverted the focus to his ears, but they failed to register a single decibel; he couldn’t even hear himself despite shouting like a madman. All he knew he could do was tight hold onto Qiu Jin’er’s hand and continue sprinting forward in the hope that they would soon escape the godly spirit’s area of influence.
His hand was never clenched as tightly as it was now. The fear of losing the young lady beside occupied the forefront of his mind, and if that fear came to fruition, he knew that it would be a moment he would regret for the rest of his life.
They continued running for a very long time. At this rate, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er would have traveled over1000 miles, but darkness still persisted without any semblance of light at the end of the tunnel.
He could feel themselves rushing up and down a hill over and over again. They had been stuck in this cycling up and down motion for as long as he could remember. It was as if the path before them were an endless circuit.
Zhong Yue sprinted out faster, for a long time there it was the sensation of running up and down hills.
Zhong Yue’s heart turned cold as he noticed it!
Meanwhile, the godly spirit’s eyeball was still dangling behind him, and Zhong Yue curiously watched the running humans.
They were so small in its eyes, so tiny that if they weren’t the only living around it, it wouldn’t even notice them. It watched as they traveled on its palm, running up a palm line and moving down from it, then climbing another and rushing down again.
These hills were just godly spirit’s palm lines; they were on its palm the whole time!
Suddenly, Zhong Yue stopped, and Qiu Jin’er ran into his back. She shouted,
Senior martial brother!

As loud as she could shout, she couldn’t hear a thing at all and neither could Zhong Yue. The two of them focused their sights, but all they could perceive was still the endless darkness.
The godly spirit’s dangling eyeball then moved to their front. The eyeball rolled and made a series of high-pitched creaking noise like as if a beast’s claws were raking across a metal wall. But the two youths couldn’t hear a thing at all, nor could they see the eyeball in front of them.
Zhong Yue pulled Qiu Jin’er down, and they both sat on the ground. He tried looking into his body, hoping to find something other than darkness. But there wasn’t even a single spot that wasn’t black.
Even the Yuan Shen secret realms were shrouded in the dark.
Abruptly, a faint light flashed across his eyes, he was overjoyed and quickly looked over hopefully, and he then saw it. It was coming from the Pan Gu God that sat in the lotus position inside of a supposedly shining light wheel.
The Pang Gu in the Dao Yi Realm…
Zhong Yue’s heart skipped a beat. He had reverse-opened the five secret realms, and thus, Zhong Yue’s Awakening path started with the Dao Yi Secret Realm. This was exactly a resemblance to the true ancient god, Pan Gu, who has cleaved opened the chaos and created the universe. Thus, there existed a miniature Pan Gu God in his Dai Yi Secret Realm. However, the specific purpose of this Pan Gu God’s had hitherto always eluded him.
Reverse-opening the five secret realms allowed him to stand above his peers, endowing him with the potential of a young god expert.
But what exactly was the power of the Pan Gu God, or what exactly could it be used for; Zhong Yue never knew. He had tried everything, but it remained unresponsive throughout all his tests. It had been far too long since then that even Zhong Yue himself nearly forgot about the Pan Gu God’s existence in his Dao Yi Secret Realm.
Now, everything else was closed off to his senses, but only this Pan Gu God continued to glimmer with a faint light. Zhong Yue couldn’t help but to focus and concentrate on that light.
The Pan Gu God’s fingers moved at an optimum speed. Not prohibitively fast yet still agile. Every change of its fingers carried a mysterious rhythm, seemingly touching upon the most profound principles of the universe within its movements.
Zhong Yue was astounded, the Pan Gu God’s fingertips would leave lines in the air, and thin and fainting totem patterns were drawn in a beautiful arc across the air. The hand seal was abstruse that even Zhong Yue couldn’t perceive too much of it. It was indeed a mysteriously strong skill!
It was the fingers that moved which caused the darkness to falter around the Pan Gu God.
Furthermore, Zhong Yue finally understood where the residual energy from Six Paths Reincarnation hid upon entering his body. The Pan Gu God had absorbed all of it.
This is….
Zhong Yue couldn’t hold back, and his fingers followed the Pan Gu God’s fingers, making the same movements and changes one time after another.
The godly spirit saw that Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er had stopped running, and it seemed to lose interest in them, and so it hovered its head about them. It opened its mouth, and a barbed tongue rolled down, licking toward the preys on its palm.
The thorns and barbs were incredibly sharp, like the divine weapons themselves while Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er who were blockaded of their senses were oblivious to the imminent danger!
Zhong Yue’s fingers were still moving, the movement patterns growing ever more abstruse as it began to resemble those of the Pan Gu God’s. A loud billowing voice then slowly came within his body, it was the arcane energy and psyche which moved along with the changes of his fingers, surging and changing forms accordingly.
The totem patterns then also started to emerge at the tip of his fingers, weaving along with the movements of the fingers.
Weng
A buzzing sound could be heard, and a light wheel appeared behind him, it was the Dao Yi Wheel. Then, the Yin Yang Wheel appeared as well, followed by the Shen Cai Wheel, Wan Xiang Wheel, and Bloodline Wheel. Zhong Yue could feel his senses coming back to him, the voices could be heard and the surroundings he could see, moreover, his perception was even stronger than before!
He could feel his six secret realms consolidating into a whole cycle. The six secret realms had connected to another and formed a complete circulation system!
For a moment there, he suddenly recalled of the Six Paths Giant he saw when he had opened the sixth secret realm.
His status right now was almost the same as the Six Paths Giant in the Six Paths Reincarnation!
Hu
Zhong Yue heard the noises of an incoming object thrusting through the air, he quickly looked up and saw a huge tongue licking toward him and Qiu Jin’er. His heart skipped a beat. It was too late to even react to it now!
Before the tongue reached them, the secret realms’ lights around Zhong Yue shone on it. Instantly, when the lights shone on the tongue, it started melting away like snow in the sun.
Meanwhile, the huge hand beneath Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er also melted away, and the six lights created a hole in it.
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er then fell into the hole, plummeting down at a fast rate.
The godly spirit was whimpering in pain, and its voice trembled the sky as it suffered great damages.

Pan Gu Six Paths…

The dangling eyeball saw at the six revolving light wheels behind Zhong Yue and its face contorted in terror. The natural fear imbued in the godly spirit engulfed it wholly, and it dispersed into a plume of dark smoke which then disappeared in the ruins of the celestial temple.

Reincarnation…
A voice that quivered in terror then came from beneath the celestial temple.
Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er were still plummeting down, they shot down like meteors and quaked the ground as they crashed into the soil. Moments later, the two of them crawled out of the huge holes created as they crashed into the mud. They both heaved a breath and were grateful that they had survived.
After a long time, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin’er stood up. Zhong Yue carefully replicated the hand seals he had unconsciously made in the darkness. But what shocked him was that looking back at it now, the hand seal looked incredibly ordinary, and despite them being abstruse and mysterious, they were, in fact, not as strong as some other skills.
Yet, these were what had melted a hole the godly spirit’s palm, and even scared it into fleeing like a bird.
This was something perhaps not even the gods with divine weapons could have done, right?
Why is the godly spirit so afraid of this hand seal?
Zhong Yue then cast it again and launched it at the floor. Instantly, a mark of the Six Paths Reincarnation and the Pan Gu God in the middle was branded into the ground. However, he was only able to leave a superficial mark that didn’t manage to penetrate much into the ground, suggesting that the skill was not really that strong.
Since that godly spirit shouted ‘Pan Gu Six Paths,’ then this will be what it shall be named as 【Pan Gu Six Paths】. Although my attainments in it now are still shallow, there is vast room for improvement if I practice it diligently. But… I have a feeling that this hand seal is not just a simple attacking skill … If only Xin Huo were still awake, he might just be able to see something.
Zhong Yue stood up and looked to the far end of the horizon. The Returning Ruins were vast and wide, most of the places were deserted of activities, and there were only a little few celestial temples scarcely scattered across the place in the haze.
Out there, there were too many uncertainties, an unknown number of unknown dangers in unknown places. Those that he had experienced here really left a deep impression on his mind, I wonder how many can survive the Returning Ruins and live till the end?

Senior martial brother, I’m now at the brink of breaking through!
Qiu Jin’er suddenly tensed up and said anxiously.
Zhong Yue looked over and scrutinized Qiu Jin’er. Her Gou Mang Yuan Shen emerged uncontrollably behind her, changing sizes and forms continuously. This was indeed the omens of breaking through to the Heavenly Dharma level!
Qiu Jin’er was already in the peak of Inner Core level even before she entered the Returning Ruins. She had then consumed two different divine herbs that increased her cultivation base even further, it was only natural for her to breakthrough now.
Qiu Jin’er hesitated and said,
It will take at least a month, and up to a year, to break through to the Heavenly Dharma level. Senior martial brother, the Returning Ruins is very dangerous, I…

The ascension to the next cultivation base was a process that couldn’t afford to be interrupted. Even Zhong Yue himself spent months of time to break through to the Heavenly Dharma level.

Don’t worry.
Zhong Yue said while holding a warm smile on his face, he said,
I can manage it on my own. You will enter my Wan Xiang Secret Realm and cultivate in there. Come out only when you have broken through to the Heavenly Dharma level. There are many treasures in my Yuan Shen secret realms, use them at will.

Qiu Jin’er nodded obediently and entered his Yuan Shen secret realm. She sat in the lotus position and started her closed-door training to prepare for the breakthrough.
Zhong Yue then recollected his thoughts and grabbed the huge carrot on his hand, he squinted his eyes in a super bright smile, and he said,
Husan Weng, where is that friend of yours, Cusia? Bring me to him!

The carrot was overjoyed. It quickly leaped down to the ground and led the way jubilantly while thinking in his heart, My brothers will surely be able to beat the shit out of this evil brat!
