Chapter 903: Tracing The Fragrance
The Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis’s fragrance had gone too far, so far that it even reached the sacred lands nearby. The gods that were rushing in were those that were left of the sacred lands.
Although the sacred lands nearby were all reduced to ruins by Zhong Yue, there were still stragglers that had managed to escape death, but all together, they made up a considerable force.
After the disastrous raids that left them broken, the remaining survivors wouldn’t dare to even linger close to the Heaven Suppressing Palace, let alone challenge it. But under the influence of the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis’s saint herb that miraculously penetrated through space and dinsions to reach them, they couldn’t help but co for it.
The saint herb’s fragrance was almost the harbinger of death itself. Even Chuo Long was enticed by it, he couldn’t resist the fragrance and could only escape as far away as he could, not to ntion these low-level gods.
These gods weren’t Zhong Yue’s biggest concern, they were huge in number, but not large enough to bring true damage to the Heaven Suppressing Palace. The leftover gods were mostly weaklings only so of the experts who could actually survive the Star River.
It was just that seeing the gods advancing wave after wave, swallowing away by the Star River, they couldn’t help but shudder against it.
“RETURN!”
The Fei Yi Celestial Race’s Creators noticed their clansn in the midst of the gods, and they scread, “Return, return! Don’t co over! It’s dangerous here!”
The other enslaved Creators too, saw their clansn, including so of their own family and relatives. They were all terrified and scread loudly, “Turn back now! You’re too enticed by the fragrance, it has deceived your Dao hearts! You don’t know what you are doing!”
“King Yi, King Yi!”
A Creator suddenly turned, knelt and ramd his head on the ground continuously. He was pleading loudly, “Please, King Yi! I beg you to leave a root for our race’s continuation!”
“Mister Yi!”
Another Creator did the sa, tears were rolling down his wrinkled face, “They are all that is left of my race, if they die in the Star River, we will go extinct! I beg Mister Yi to spare the last lives of my race!”
“We plead Mister Yi to help us!” The Creator slaves all knelt and kowtowed, screaming together at the sa ti.
Zhong Yue’s heart shook, he turned to Yin Fanxuan and said, “Play the flute and wake them up, I’ll try to stop the fragrance.”
Yin Fanxuan hesitated, “They are, after all, our enemies. If we can seize this opportunity and remove this threat once and for all, our Heaven Suppressing Prefecture will not have to face with the endless worries of them ambushing in…”
“They are not enemies. Just because they ca to attack the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture, I took the chance to raid them.” Zhong Yue shook, “We can’t let them go extinct just because of one attack. If these gods were to die in the Star River, their races will go extinct as well.”
Yin Fanxuan was persuaded, she nodded and flew away into the Astral Door. In the next second, she appeared on the Azure Dragon Gate and played the flute with the [Great Heavenly Demon Heart Suppressing Intonation].
She didn’t even stop and walked right into the Astral Door again, appearing to the Black Tortoise Gate, then the White Tiger Gate, to the Vermillion Bird Gate, and back to the Azure Dragon Gate, cycling between four ends so the [Great Heavenly Demon Heart Suppressing Intonation] would be heard everywhere.
But she was still just a Heavenly Deity; her cultivation was too shallow to spread through the Star River. There will still many gods that were advancing straight into the Star River, dying in it.
“Lower the drawbridges!” Zhong Yue frowned and abruptly ordered, “Lower the drawbridges!”
The Creators on the sides of the city gates imdiately lowered the drawbridges and the gods outside sward through the drawbridges toward the city.
Mu Suge, Fu Li, and the others were in shock, their faces changed drastically and they quickly rushed forward while shouting, “Close the gates, close the gates! Mister, lowering the drawbridges are fine, but the city gates will have to be closed. Else, they will reach us in no ti!”
Zhong Yue shook in reply, “Those who enter will beco my people. Don’t you all worry.”
Fu Li shouted anxiously in shock and anger, “We won’t have enough n to suppress so many of them!”
The gods outside of the city was quick and filled every available space on all of the drawbridges. So of them were pushed out from the drawbridges by those behind and fell right into the Star River.
The gods in the front were the first to hear the flute, they regained consciousness and were dumbfounded as to how and why they ended up here. Thus, as a result, they all slowed down and stopped. anwhile, the affected gods behind were still advancing forward, pushing those in the front out of their paths and down into the Star River.
Then, Zhong Yue quickly shouted, “Open the gates, let them in!”
Mu Suge, Fu Li, and the others frowned deeply while Zhong Yue was still shouting, “Zheng Xian, Ba Chu, Creators of the many races, restrict your clansn and follow my commands to the letter. Those who disobey and disrupt will be pulled into the Star River and die in it!”
The Creators in the city heard him and didn’t dare to neglect his determination. They imdiately restricted their clansn that were swarming into the city. Every second, tens of thousands of gods were rushing toward them. So ventured deeper into the city and so crawled on their Creators’ body.
Chaos repleted the whole city, but with the help of the Creators restricting their clansn, the overall situation turned out to be surprisingly fine.
If these gods are taken under my command, they will be a huge power. But the sa overbearing power in my hands will bring about far too many troubles, even Imperial Emperor Xian Tian will start to beco guarded against . Zhong Yue frowned and looked at Yin Fanxuan. She was shuttling between the gates, beads of sweat were dripping down from the beautiful countenance. It was clear as crystal that she was running out of energy.
She couldn’t hold much longer.
Zhong Yue frowned, he returned to the ancient ship, taking out the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, and tucking the pearl into it.
There were over hundreds of thousand gods in the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror. Including Old Man Six Paths, Shi Buyi, and the others who were cultivating in it. However, when they slled the fragrance, they all lunged forward for the pearl almost imdiately.
Especially to the divine-herb-cultivators like Old Man Six Paths and Husan Weng, the Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis was more than attractive to them, eating it was the only thought that had filled their hearts, minds, and souls!
Zhong Yue kept the pearl in the maze and sealed the maze right after. Yet, the hundreds of thousands of gods were still crazily attacking the maze, trying to break through the seals; the lead attacker was of course, Old Man Six Paths.
But fortunately, Zhong Yue was the controller of the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, he had showered the divine mirror’s power and energy to fortify the maze. No matter how hard the gods tried, they wouldn’t be able to break the seals at all.
Being a guardian isn’t an easy job at all , Zhong Yue sighed and took out Xin Huo’s old abode—the shabby copper lamp. With a thought, the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror was kept inside of the copper lamp. He thought, Shi Buyi and the others will still be fine to remain crazy for so ti. The worst it can get would just be so minor impairnts to their Dao hearts. Now, I wonder how long the copper lamp and the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror will last…
As such, the fragrance dispersed and Yin Fanxuan heaved a breath of relief. She stopped while panting heavily. These few days of nonstop casting the [Great Heavenly Demon Heart Suppressive Intonation], but thanks to that, there were no major ruckuses that occurred.
“Dear, why do you still look as if you are worrying a lot?” Yin Fanxuan regained her breath and recovered so of her depleted energy. She saw Zhong Yue frowning and quickly asked, “Is it because of the lack of food and resources?”
As of now, there were more than 20 million of gods remaining in the Heaven Suppressing Palace. So of them were leaving but Zhong Yue never stopped them, allowing them to leave freely. Whereas so gathered around the Creators of their respective races, asking for protection and guidance.
The 20 million gods were additional troubles to them. The Heaven Suppressing Prefecture already had 40 million gods, in addition to these 20 million, there would be 60 million of them already.
Let’s not ask whether or not Zhong Yue’s subordinates were able to command all of these gods if they were taken into army. With these 60 million gods, they would use up a lot of spiritual energy and spiritual liquids, only suppliable by dozens of sacred lands together. It was simply impossible for the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture alone to provide 60 million gods as their daily spiritual resources!
Despite this, Zhong Yue’s concern wasn’t in this matter, he shook and said, “The Hundredth Reincarnated Saint Amaryllis’s fragrance has spread for who knows how far. I am now more worried about those that have picked up the scent, the strong experts will be able to trace it down to us. The usual ones are no major issues, my concern are the Imperial Emperors… As the guardian to the two brothers, can I really still protect Bi and An from the Imperial Emperors?”
“You an…” Yin Fanxuan shivered in cold, “There will be Imperial Emperors that co?”
Zhong Yue nodded, “I wonder who will be the first to arrive… This is really a tough job! n, heed my words! Shut all gates, stay vigilant, be on the defensive, and let no one into the stronghold! Fu Qizhi, Fu Yanshan, the two of you will keep the Imperial Emperors busy if they co!”
A month went by, Fu Qizhi’s face changed drastically and he reported anxiously, “Lord, an Imperial Emperor has arrived!”
Zhong Yue’s heart sterned up, and a loud voice rumbled into his ears just outside of the Star River, “Hahahaha, a friend far from ho ca to visit, King Yi, do you welco ?”
Zhong Yue looked over and saw a celestial being shrouded in waves and waves of godly rays walking toward the city, but stopped suddenly just right beside the river.
“A true friend, if you are, I will surely welco your arrival with open arms.” Zhong Yue gave a cold sneer and signaled Chi Song to activate the Stone Sentinel Maze while he continued, “But I am afraid that you, who have covered your body stature and hidden your face behind the blinding lights and not showing your trueself as you visit, is no friend to !”
After a long ti of nurturing it, the Stone Sentinel Maze was now already a Creator-level weapon. A spatial dinsion was forged within, and its power was elevated to a whole new level.
At first, the Xian Tian Royal Guards numbered in a million gods but after raiding the many sacred lands, only so 80 million of them remained. However, Zhong Yue had been constantly recruiting the elites from the war captives into the Xian Tian Royal Guards. Thus, the Xian Tian Royal Guards now numbered in over 800 million of gods, and each and every one of them was equipped with a godly mount.
The more gods, the stronger the Stone Sentinel Maze would be!
When the Stone Sentinel Maze was cast out by the eight armies, its power surged enormously like 8 Creators. Then, the eight scrolls were rged into one, causing its power to increase dramatically!
The celestial being’s face changed slightly, and suddenly, he dispersed the godly rays around him while laughing loudly, “King Yi, there is really no need for that. You and I, we’ve t before. Then, you weren’t able to see my true face; but now, I will show you myself.”
As the godly rays dispersed, six light wheels were seen revolving behind the celestial being. He has nine tails and nine heads. The faces on the heads were different from one another, and there was an eye on each forehead, totaling up to 27 eyes.
There were the faces of both males and females.
One of the female head said casually, “I am a friend to the Imperial Emperor and fought closely alongside the Imperial Emperor back in the days. We are seven siblings, different kinds of blood flow in our veins. We are sworn siblings that live to help one another.”
A male head continued, “I gave myself the na of Long Zhi, I am a new race founded after the Earth Order Era. Thus, I na my race as the Long Zhi Celestial Race.”
“King Yi, you act as if you are war-prepped, forged the Heaven Suppressing Prefecture like an unbreakable stronghold. But all of these, the efforts you’ve made, you still won’t be able to stop .”
Another head laughed, “I stand as a peaked Imperial Emperor, the ordinary Imperial Emperors can’t even put up a match against . Creators like you, I can reduce to ashes in just a snap of fingers. However, you are the Imperial Emperor’s kind, a trusted courtier, so I will not harm you and break the harmony between us.”
Then another female head continued, “I picked up a fragrance, never once I have slled sothing like this. It shook my mind and soul, in just a split second, I knew, I knew this would be the last strand of straw to will help breakthrough to the level of Imperial Monarch. King Yi, we are allies, not enemies. You have such a treasure in hand, why don’t you share it with ? Once I’ve ascended as a monarch, won’t you benefit more than this if I am forever in debted to your assistance?”
