Chapter 113 - Sun Moon Dual Pupil

Zhong Yue watched closely at all of their reactions in his eyes, he smiled and said, “It I may ask, who are the strong and formidable experts of the Rebirth Qi Practitioners in East Barren?”

“Lots.”

Yu Xuanji replied, “The East Barren is not just a piece of land, it also includes the ocean where there are the Sulphur Island, Jinxiu Island and the Fengsha Island. Although the Sulphur Island and Jinxiu Island were heavily affected by the incident in the Beast God Ridge, the ones that died were all from the older generations. Fortunately, the younger ones didn’t suffer any losses in Great Wilderness Beast God Ridge. In addition, although the Island Lord of Fengsha Island isn’t a magnate, he is also a strong and formidable expert in the older generations. There are some notable disciples under the island lord. Other than the three islands, there are still four keeps and six cities.”

“Six cities — Gu Xia, Shen Yi, Qing Ming, Luo Ying, Feng Gu, Yang City; Four keeps — Qing, Bai, Yan, Xuan; they all have their own young experts. Especially the four keeps, because they are located at the outland borders, they are all wild and strong brats that have gone through the tempering of countless battles! While the greatest holy sacred land of our monster race – the Xian Kong Saint City, is a place where even more formidable experts gather!”

Zhong Yue smiled and said, “Since there are so many opponents ... strong and formidable ones, why do the three of us need to fight with each other here?”

Hu Qimei chortled in reply, “It’s precise because there are so many opponents that there is a need to exterminate a few on the road, so that my chances can grow a little bit higher.”

Yu Xuanji answered with a smile, “That’s right, but there’s three of us here, it’ll get very knotty no matter who makes the first move.”

Zhong Yue finally understood why were they filled with killing intent, because they are intending to eliminate a few opponents before the start of Xian Kong City Lord starts the closed door disciple selection battles.

Coincidentally, he had just killed Yan Lisan who was exactly a young and formidable expert preparing to head over to Xian Kong City. Hence, Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei must have mistaken his intentions thinking that he was only finding excuses to kill Yan Lisan before the selection battles came.

After all, Zhong Yue’s reason was too flimsy, crushing the Purple Cloud Summit and killing Madam Ru, all for the lives of a hundred humans. How could there possibly be a dragon race like this?

“I see.”

Zhong Yue’s heart was clear like a mirror, he smiled and said, “Senior martial brother and senior martial sister, if we have thoughts of eliminating the others on the road, then how could it be that others wouldn't harbor the same intentions? If they were to come alone, then there would be no need to be afraid. But what if they were to come in groups of two, three or more. Among you and me, who can withstand them?”

Hu Qimei’s ears twitched as she asked, “Do you mean...?”

“In the disciple selection battle, we can go all out on each other, but on the road, we will have to join hands.”

Zhong Yue turned solemn and said, “United we stand, divided we fall. Otherwise, I’m afraid we might not even make it to the Xian Kong City!”

Hu Qimei and Yu Xuanji looked at each other before nodding tacitly.

Zhong Yue also heaved a breath of relief, for the purpose of establishing his name and reputation, to seize a higher status among the monster race ... all of this required him to attain a new identity. And becoming Xian Kong City Lord’s disciple was the most secure and irreproachable identity ever!

If he were to become the disciple of Lord of Xian Kong City, his identity and status would change drastically like the earth turning into heaven, and no one would ever be able to question his actions from then on!

But therein lies a problem before him— Zhong Yue had no idea where Xian Kong City was, but if Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei were to lead the way, then there would be no cause for concern.

And most importantly, Zhong Yue knew nothing about the young and formidable experts of monster race, while Hu Qimei and Yu Xuanji were both native monsters. They would have at least know a thing or two.

“Alright!”

Yu Xuanji’s eyes brighten up, he smiled and said, “Then, I’m more than happy to cooperate with Brother Long Yue and Qimei to eliminate a few experts on the road!”

While Hu Qimei gently smiled and said, “Seems like the experts on the road will be having bad luck in the coming days.”

Zhong Yue’s eyes flashed and he then replied, “May the two senior martial siblings wait for half a day’s time. After I’ve settled some matters in my territory, the three of us can then travel and head towards Xian Kong Saint City together!”

“Then make haste Brother Long faster go and quickly come back!”

Zhong Yue left the colorfully-painted luxurious boat, he boarded on the riverbank only to see the seneschal of Gu Xia Manor still there waiting. He greeted and said, “Senior martial brother, apologies for making you wait.”

The seneschal quickly put up a smile and responded, “Mister Long, this way please.”

Zhong Yue followed behind him and the two of them arrived at the Gu Xia Manor. The seneschal had rearranged Zhong Yue’s territory, he assigned the land of a thousand miles of radius from the Yanming Mountain under Zhong Yue’s name, and said, “Mister Long’s territory is not small anymore, I’m afraid that it will be an issue for mister to manage it all. My suggestion is for mister to buy a few human Qi Practitioners for your slaves or recruit a few Qi Practitioners as followers and canton the land between them so as to make it easier to manage.”

Zhong Yue reflected on the suggestions, “Human Qi Practitioners can also manage the land?”

“Why not?”

The seneschal laughed and said, “Buying a few human Qi Practitioners as slaves and controlling their atmans so that they would be loyal only to you. This actually reassures the minds of the territory lords more than consigning their territory to monster Qi Practitioners as the former wouldn’t dare entertain any thoughts of betrayal. The only caveat is that human Qi Practitioners do not come cheap. This time when Mister Long heads over to Xian Kong City, there will be human Qi Practitioners for sale, mister can head over and buy a few of them back.”

I see. Then when Chun’er, Xia’er and the others have cultivated to the Qi Practitioners, I don’t need to worry about their identities anymore.

Zhong Yue thanked him for the advice, then headed back to Falcon Ridge. He summoned his four servant ladies over and granted them the administrative rights over the Yanming Mountain. Yan Lisan was bound to have some old comrades straggling within the Yanming Mountain, but as the tree falls, so will the monkeys scatter. When the other monsters knew that Zhong Yue has killed Yan Lisan and his two wives, they quickly plundered Yan Lisan and his main wife’s palace, absconding away with the valuables.

When Zhong Yue arrived at the Yanming Mountain, there were still some monsters attempting to open the vault to escape with valuables. Zhong Yue flicked his fingers and killed a few of them, which provided the impetus for the others to immediately relinquish the treasures they had in their hands and stand stock-still, not daring to move even an inch.

Unfortunately, there were still some treasures stolen, hidden away in their cave dwellings by the more sly individuals.

Zhong Yue gave a cold sneer, his thoughts shifted and his psyche erupted out like tidal waves. All of a sudden, the sky turned gloomy and lightning flashed over with rumbling thunder. One after another, Jiao Dragons formed within the clouds, looming in the overcast sky with their traces of their enormous bodies dipping beneath the clouds from time to time.

The scenery in the sky was incredibly shocking. On the hills of Yanming Mountain, the monsters were stunned and their faces became filled with fear, their eyes flared in abject terror.

Hu hu hu——

The dreadful Jiao Dragons extended out their heads from the thunderous lightning clouds, their humongous heads hovered above the hills and their eyes burned with a blazing fire like miniature suns.

“Treasures….”

Zhong Yue spoke, and so did the dreadful Jiao Dragons. Their deep voices reverberated throughout the hills. Gazing at the monsters on the hills, his voice was low, deep, and ferocious, “All of the monsters in Yanming Mountain, are all now the belongings of Master Long’s. You are all Master Long’s slaves. A single thought, and Master Long can remove your heads from a thousand miles away; a single step, and Master Long can stride over the mountains and seas, making short work of capturing you, regardless of which corner of the world you are hiding in. Master Long’s prowess and strength are beyond your puny imagination, yet you dare to steal Master Long’s treasures!”

The monsters shuddered in fear, some of them even knelt down with their knees on the ground, and they released the treasures they had plundered. The Jiao Dragons then reached out its claws to reclaim the stolen treasures before turning around and leaving.

“The four of them are your master’s trusted subordinates!”

Zhong Yue’s psyche moved, he projected the images of the four young ladies into mid-air so that all the monsters could see clearly. is voice trembled the air, “From now on, all of the minor and major matters will be handled by them, their wishes are your master’s commands!”

The monsters were frightened, they bowed and nodded in understanding.

Zhong Yue then reigned in his powers and turned to the four young ladies who were stunned, “I’ve matters to attend to, I don’t know when will I come back yet. All of the land of a thousand miles away from Yanming Mountain will be in the hands of you four to manage. All of the rules and customs will be the same as Falcon Ridge.”

The four young ladies were surprised and thrilled, but they were also a little frightened at the same time. They feared that they might not be able to suppress the wild and barbarous monsters. Zhong Yue took out the scarlet Coral Tree and passed it over to them “This Coral Tree has been tempered by your master for many months. Therein lurks a slight surge of spirituality. If the monsters ravage and wreak havoc on this land, then manipulate the Coral Tree and worship your master to your aid. I’ve hidden the Coral Sword Qi in the tree, when you call for me, my Sword Qi will then come out and partake in some of their blood.”

After Zhong Yue had finished all his arrangements, he then spread his wings behind him and soared into the sky.

The four young ladies watched as he left, Xia’er mumbled, “Master is getting stronger….”

Not long later, Zhong Yue arrived at the Gu Xia City. He searched and found Yu Xuanji and Hu Qimei. The three of them grouped up and traveled together. Yu Xuanji was manipulating a small skiff that was seventy feet long so there was plenty of room for the three of them to sit in the cabin without feeling cramped.

The skiff hovered into the air, water currents emerged out of nowhere beneath the skiff and lifted it up. It was as smooth and steady as a skiff that floated on a still river Like this, they proceeded to fly over to Xian Kong Saint City.

“Xin Huo, I have two spirits now, the sun spirit and moon spirit. The sun spirit has already coalesced with my soul, advancing to the level of Rebirth. And since the sun spirit has already merged with my soul, how will the moon spirit be able to work along with my soul?”

On the skiff, Zhong Yue suddenly remembered something very important. He then beseeched Xin Huo, “The coalescence of soul and my Yuan Shen resulted into the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen ... what will it become if I were to merged it with the moon spirit?”

In his psyche ocean, Xin Huo answered nonchalantly, “Rest assured, you won’t turn into an ugly creature. This is the crux of having a twin spirit, if only one of the two spirits can achieve Rebirth, then it wouldn’t be worthy of the name of twin spirit. Ages ago, the Tai Hao Fuxi had also researched and studied for many years before he found a method that allowed the Sun Moon Twin Spirit to achieve Rebirth. And this method, is called the Dual Pupil Technique.”

“Dual Pupil Technique?” Zhong Yue was stunned.

“That is to cultivate the sun spirit into your soul’s left eye, and the moon spirit in the right eye. The sun pupil and moon pupil will appear behind your innate pupils, that’s why it’s called the dual pupils.”

Xin Huo explained, “Not only that, but as your soul acquires the double pupils, your body will change accordingly. The dual pupils will also manifest in your physical body. One who acquires the dual pupils will then have four pupils, separated into Yin and Yang – sun pupil as the Yang pupil and moon pupil as the Yin pupil.”

Zhong Yue was curious, he asked, “Ok then … so its possible for the two spirits to achieve Rebirth, but how do you use the two Yuan Shens?”

“Use your left eye and you get the Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen; the right eye then the Star Moon Jade Yuan Shen. Simple to us but never ever try to use both at the same time or otherwise, they will clash and collide with one another.”

Xin Huo said, “If you were to use both at the same time, then even I wouldn’t be able to tell you what your Yuan Shen would look like.”

My Great Sun Golden Crow is a three-legged, double-winged, and bird-headed humanoid figure of the Sun God, and what will the Star Moon Jade Yuan Shen look like?

Zhong Yue was very curious, If the two Yuan Shen were to merge together, what would come out of it? When the two Yuan Shen are used simultaneously, what will happen? En, I’d better cultivate the sun spirit into my left eye and then achieve Rebirth again with my moon spirit!
