Chapter 535

– It’s Not Easy To Be A Teacher
The gods left after everything had been settled. The dragon race’s five clan masters that were going to leave stopped when they saw the gods arriving, and they left after the gods.
Zhong Yue smiled and said,
Senior martial brothers, forgive me for now as I cannot send you all out.


It’s alright, it’s fine!
The five dragon clan masters replied and hurried away.
The heads of the races stood up and left as well. Some apologized and notified Zhong Yue and Shui Zian before they left while the others left without even saying a word.
In just a few moments, the crowd dispersed.
The Yama Saint Clan’s clan master waited for the others to leave before he approached Zhong Yue and Shui Zian, he gave a series of dry laughs and said,
Elder Zhong, about my ancestor’s mortal body…

The ancestor he was talking about was Yanmo He. Although Yanmo He was dead, his mortal body was still a huge fortune. Thus, the Yama clan master braced himself and approached Zhong Yue and Shui Zian for it.

This is ours,
Zhong Yue said in a serious tone.
The clan master’s laughter changed in pitch before it continued, he said,
Elder Zhong, you must be joking. Yanmo He is from our Yama Saint Clan, he is our demon god and our ancestor. We still have to return his mortal body to the race and worship him.


But he is now ours,
Zhong Yue said resolutely.
The saint clan master cleared his throat, he said reluctantly,
Elder Zhong, please don’t try and bully us. The Yama Saint Clan is one of the eight demon saint clans, our strength and power is beyond your imagination…

Zhong Yue titled his head and asked curiously,
I’ve killed all eight saint clan masters of your demon race before, you also want the Yama Saint Clan to need a new clan master?

The saint clan master’s face turned gloomy, he swung his sleeves and left without saying anymore words.
With the last guest leaving in rage, Swords Gate was finally able to return to its usual peace.
Zhong Yue looked at Yanmo He’s mortal body, the god’s head was severed from its body; half of the skull lay at the foot of the Swords Gate Mountain like a huge wok.
The demon god’s lifeless mortal body was still standing upright on the ground.

This wok can be used as a huge bowl!
Shui Zian said. His words shocked Zhong Yue greatly but the old grand elder stared at the broken skull as he mumbled with a pair of glimmering eyes,
Whether it be wine or anything else, this can be used as a container that can enhance its aroma even further!

Zhong Yue was heard it and was speechless. He shook his head and said,
Grand elder, you can use the skull however you like. Also Yanmo He’s mortal body, you keep it as well. Oh, I need the demonic blood to nurture the divine herbs. Also, I need a monster god’s mortal body with me as well, it might be of good use.

Then, Zhong Yue took out Yu Wenju’s mortal body and handed it over to Shui Zian. As for the demonic godly blood, he needed it for the divine herbs. Especially Husan Weng, the huge carrot had suffered greatly during the expedition to the insect planet.
After Zhong Yue returned to Swords Gate, he planted the huge carrot in a pile of godly soil that was ten times bigger than the pile he alloted to the other divine herbs, causing the other divine herbs to be incredibly envious of it.
The demonic godly blood contained incredible energy, it was very helpful when used to water the divine herbs.
Shui Zian stared at Yu Wenju’s mortal body with stupefaction. The monster god’s body was so large that it could wrap around Swords Gate Mountain a few times. If it were forged into a weapon, it would be at least a divine weapon!
Did this brat kill a god before?
…
For the next few days, the various races of the Ancestral Star transported the humans into Great Wilderness in droves. Shui Zian and the elders were overwhelmed by the colossal workload of arranging and settling the humans that were sent in. No one had the luxury of rest, let alone interrupting Zhong Yue’s activities.
Surprisingly, Zhong Yue didn’t go anywhere and cause any troubles. Most of his days were spent comprehending the【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】to a point where he forgot the taste of food and the peace of sleep. This【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】wasn’t just an art of the teleportation array formation, it was also a cultivation technique itself. The more he studied it, the more abstrusities he gleaned from within it. But the greater his comprehensions grew, the more numerous his questions became. It was as if the technique itself contained an endless stream of mysteries, so much that it seemed like he would need his whole life to finally understand it all.
This was the first time he ever came across in touch with such a high-end cultivation technique. Of the ones that studied in the past, the most abstruse technique would be the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】that he created himself.
But even the【Celestial Demon Tai Chi Art】was child’s play when compared to the【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】.
Time and space — these were the two most mysterious laws of the universe. The totem patterns that manifested from them seemed to touch upon the mysteries of the universe. It was clear to Zhong Yue to studying this technique was no small task.
Xin Huo is really amazing, anything he hands out is so powerful. Zhong Yue praised, the【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】was a crucial part in the heritage of the Xin Huo inheritors, but there were still a few cultivation techniques that were on the same level or even greater than this in Xin Huo’s heritage.
If one were to get their hands on Xin Huo’s complete inheritance, how strong would they turn out to be?
There were many offensive skills contained in the【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】, but these offensive skills imposed a high requirement on one’s cultivation level, arcane energy and energy control. Zhong Yue suspected that these skills were meant for deities as they required godly totem patterns that only those on the level of gods were able to cast.
Oh my … skills that only the Pure Yang Yuan Shen can cast…
Zhong Yue’s scalp tingled, he was truly shocked. Such strong skills were too stringent to the caster, one couldn’t even use it at all before having a Pure Yang Yuan Shen!
Can see but cannot use, what a pity! Zhong Yue quietly lamented in his heart.
He was currently at the level of Heavenly Dharma level working toward the True Spirit level. The【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】took him some time and he had spent days on skills that he couldn’t cast yet.
However, his efforts weren’t in vain either. If he wanted to cultivate the True Spirit, he would first have to cultivate both of his sun spirit Golden Crow and moon spirit Star Toad to the True Spirit level. Only then could he cultivate his Fuxi Yuan Shen to the True Spirit level.
To cultivate the sun and moon spirits to the True Spirit level, the fastest way was to cultivate beside the moon and sun. Thus, studying the【Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture】allowed him to place the better teleportation array formations to send him out of Ancestral Star into the space.
I have the moon core with me, there’s no need for me to go to the moon. But I will have to go to the sun for the Great Sun Golden Crow sun spirit…
Zhong Yue thought and decided, Alright, I shall go into a closed door training now. First, cultivate the moon spirit to the True Spirit level, then to the sun and cultivate the Golden Crow True Spirit! Lucky, Long Yue will be able to enter magnate level sooner than me and Bo Xun!
On that day, Zhong Yue went into seclusion to cultivate the moon spirit to the True Spirit level.
Meanwhile, Shi Buyi returned to Xian Kong Saint City, his face was changing continuously as he thought, Zhong Yue’s growth is way too alarming, and he has the wits to match that strength. He alone is more than enough to protect the Great Wilderness and human race! Our East Bareen is just right beside of the Great Wilderness, I won’t be able to sleep well at night if there’s such a strong neighbour sitting beside us … The divine eye of the Ming King, I need a complete Ming King divine eye!
Shi Buyi’s eyes were glimmering in rays as he mumbled softly to himself, Without this Ming King divine eye, I won’t be able to breakthrough the last stage and ascend into deityhood. Long Yue, my dear closed door disciple, I was planning to claim your eyes when you became a True Spirit magnate, but that Zhong Yue brat has grown far beyond my expectation. I don’t think I can wait any longer…
He planned to take Long Yue’s Ming King divine eyes when the latter became a True Spirit magnate. Shi Buyi was an Imminent Deity magnate and if he used the divine eye of the True Spirit magnate, it would pose a lesser burden on the eye and greatly increase his chances of success.
After that, Shi Buyi would only need to nurture the divine eye to a level it could be on par with his prowess and help him in completing the flaws of his cultivation technique.
While if Long Yue was still in the Heavenly Dharma level, the divine eye would be too weak to fully take the pressure coming from his Imminent Deity cultivation base, that would greatly increase the failure rate.
But the human race was growing stronger at a rate faster than he thought, Zhong Yue resolved a scheme against the human race and turned it in humanity’s advantage. Zhong Yue’s compounding accomplishments eroded Shi Buyi’s patience at an exponential rate, leaving him unable to wait for Long Yue to break through to the True Spirit level anymore.
Shi Buyi was also a great talent himself, it was just that the【Monster God Ming King Art】was incomplete that stalled him for years. During the time he battled with Feng Shang, the old headmaster seized an opening in his stance and impaired him greatly.
If he could acquire the Ming King divine eye and fix the flaw in the art, his【Monster God Ming King Art】would finally reach perfection!
Plus, in the standard of this cultivation world, he was still considered to be in his prime, there was still hope for him to ascend into deityhood and to become the next monster god!

Qingshan, where is your junior martial brother Long Yue?
Shi Buyi took out the totem pillars and found himself unable to contact Long Yue. He frowned and summoned Qiu Qingshan, he asked.
Qiu Qingshan bowed and replied.
Teacher, a few days ago, Junior Martial Brother Long Yue said he felt the omen of his breakthrough and was been in a closed door training since.


Long Yue is breaking through to the True Spirit level?
Shi Buyi was surprised, he clapped his hands and laughed happily as he said,
Good! Good! He is indeed a good disciple of mine to break through into the True Spirit level so quickly!

Shi Buyi was overjoyed. He was just thinking of taking away Long Yue’s Ming King divine eye but as he heard the news of Long Yue breaking through, he decided not to act. He thought, Even fate is on our side! My Ming King divine eye, my【Monster God Ming King Art】, my ascension into deityhood; everything is aligning into place!
Then he looked at Qiu Qingshan and said,
Qingshan, among my disciples, you and Long Yue are the only two left. Your big senior martial brother Qingyun is most probably already dead on the insect planet and your two senior martial sisters also left us way too early. I now have only you by my side, only you are the most loyal to me. In the future, all of my positions and powers will be passed onto you.

Qiu Qingshan shuddered a little, he quickly said,
Teacher, Junior Martial Brother Long Yue is more talented than me…


He? He is a half dragon half monster, he way too many links to the dragon race.
Shi Buyi said solemnly,
From day one until now, I only had one true disciple, and that was you. And only you alone can succeed my throne. My name is Shi Buyi, it also means that being a teacher is not easy. Of all the disciples I have taken in, only you have shown unwavering loyalty to me! Qingshan, do not disappoint me!

{Shi – Teacher, Buyi – Not easy. A very clever play on words that does not translate over.}
Qiu Qingshan immediately knelt down on the ground, he kowtowed many times as his voice quivered,
I … I … I cannot repay teacher on the efforts you spent on me!

Shi Buyi laughed out loud, he held the disciple up from the ground and said,
It’s good that you understand the work I have put in for you. Now, get up. I still need you to stay on guard, be vigilant. Long Yue has a wild ambition hidden in him, he is a spy planted into the monster race by the dragons. You know what you should do when he shows an opening.

Qiu Qingshan nodded heavily, he said,
My life is yours, teacher. I will not fail you!

…
Four months later, Zhong Yue cultivated the moon spirit into the True Spirit, the six-eyed Star Toad True Spirit Yuan Shen was successfully cultivated. At the same day, Long Yue came out from his closed door training and became the youngest True Spirit magnate in the history of the monster race.
Shi Buyi immediately summoned Long Yue to the Xian Kong Saint City. As soon as he was summoned, Long Yue rushed to his teacher. While he was still a few ten thousand miles away from the city, he saw Shi Buyi standing on the top of a mountain. The monster overlord his hands on the back and stood there quietly.
Didn’t teacher ask me to see him in the Xian Kong Saint City? Why is he here?
Long Yue was puzzled.
