Chapter 146 - Lighting Up The Soul Lamp

It was as if Zhong Yue was piqued by the high-spirited words, his blood was boiling hot and his face was red as he shouted out loud, I will not disappoint my teachers expectations in your disciple, my loyalty to the monster race shall never be doubted, my heart will have no room for anything else!

Shu Buyi measured him carefully, trying to see through him and reach his deepest thoughts. Showing a gratified expression, Shu Buyi smiled and said, Im very content that you have such high spirit and loyalty. You are able to attain theMonster God Ming King Art, this is truly exceptional. Now, show me yourMonster God Ming King Artand tell me your attainments on it, Ill point out your weak points.

He smiled and said, Your teacher, I, have spent more than two hundred years on theMonster God Ming King Art, I dont dare to boast that Ive fully attained all of the abstrusity in it, but I sure do know very much more than you do.

Zhong Yue feigned surprise and joy and his eyes started to turn red as if they were on the verge of bursting out in tears, Teacher, for you to treat me like this, this is your disciple cannot repay your grace anymore other than swearing my life to you!

Shu Buyis eyes also turned red and he mumbled, You are really my good disciple, good disciple Yueer!

Teacher!

The two teacher-disciple gazed at each other, their visions blurred in tears, Shu Buyi choke with sobs and said, What more can anyone ever wish with such a good disciple? Yueer, now you may show me everything you have and tell me everything you know about theMonster God Ming King Artto teacher, I will clear your questions and answer your doubts!

Yes, teacher!

Zhong Yue bowed, he told him everything he had attained from theMonster God Ming King Arttotem patterns on the pontoons. He even took the initiative to visualize them with his psyche and showed Shi Buyi all of the totem permutations, not hiding or concealing anything at all, not that he dared to anyway. In front of the eyes of such a strong expert like Shi Buyi, doing so would be tantamount to voluntarily seeking death.

Shi Buyi listened carefully, nodding from time to time. After a long while, Zhong Yue had finally demonstrate every minutia of everything he elucidated on theMonster God Ming King Art, he said sincerely, This is all that your disciple has managed to attain, may the teacher please enlighten me.

Shi Buyi smiled and gave a look of deep introspection while his words were laden with meaning, Yueer, isnt there still the Ming King Divine Eye totem patterns which you havent talked about? Dont hide it, its useless to conceal in front of your teacher.

Zhong Yues face blushed red in shame, he said, Your disciple Im useless, I cant attain the divine eye totem patterns. Thats why Ive replaced the Ming King divine eye with the Yin pupil and Yang pupil. In this part, disciple Im so much more inferior than you teacher. Im afraid and fearful which was why Ive never shown it to you, teacher.

It was intentional, he changed the sun-moon pupils to the Yin-Yang pupils, it was done so that he could conceal his moon spirit and sun spirit away from Shi Buyi. As long as Shi Buyi was kept in the dark to the fact that acquiring the sun spirit and moon spirit was the only way to cultivate the sun pupil and moon pupil, he will spend more time in researching the two divine eyes, which would eventually lead to him spending all his effort in this matter, leaving him no time on uniting the monster race and go against the Great Wilderness.

En Shi Buyi made a muffled sound and said with an amicable manner, Its fine, its fine. Show them to me, Ill point out your weakness.

Zhong Yue bowed and said yes, then showed the sun pupil and moon pupil to him. Shi Buyi was shocked, the sun pupil and moon pupil totem patterns were very complex, either one of them could be said as a superlative divine eye of the highest caliber, especially the sun pupil, it was even more powerful!

If he could cultivate these two divine eyes, he could patch up on the flaw on theMonster God Ming King Art, pruning the flaw smaller, or even more, removing it completely!

It could be said that, the value of these two sun pupil and moon pupil was not inferior to theMonster God Ming King Artitself in the least!

Good disciple, very good rays flashed in Shi Buyis eyes as he stared enthralled at the sun pupil and moon pupil totem permutations and changes. He branded them into his heart as he mumbled.

How shrewd was he, he could surely tell that Zhong Yue had shown him the totem patterns of the two divine eyes without concealing a single carving, completely revealing every abstrusity held within it to him!

His talent and perception were peerless, otherwise, he would not have been named the strongest existence in the monster race. Although the sun pupil and moon pupil Zhong Yue showed were very complex, with his intelligence, he was able to remember it all with just a single glance From there, he would be able to slowly research and study them to a deeper level!

Even more so, he could tell that if he had cultivated the sun pupil and moon pupil, he would be able to get the Yin Qi and Yang Qi. They were strong and overwhelming among the rarest of skills!

Hence, it was evident how attractive the sun pupil and moon pupil were to him!

After a long time, Zhong Yue had shown all of the totem permutations of the sun pupil and moon pupil to him. He glanced at Shi Buyi who was still immersed in the enthralling divine eyes and was attaining the abstrusity in them. He sneered coldly in his heart and said, The greater your attainments, the greater the pain youll suffer. Without the sun spirit and moon spirit, even if you were to attain all of the abstrusity, you still wouldnt be able to cultivate the sun and moon pupil!

Soon, Shi Buyi recollected his thoughts and he gazed deeply at Zhong Yue, smiled and said, Good disciple, your teacher will now pass my attainments in theMonster God Ming King Artover to you.

He raised his finger up and his psyche billowed like ocean waves into Zhong Yues forehead. In the psyche, it contained a huge clump of cluttered messages that turned into a multitude of patterns, attainments, abstrusities, combat skills, and even methods of forging the Ba Ji Weapons all of it rushed rushing into Zhong Yues mind and branded itself into his memory!

Zhong Yue could feel that all sorts of cultivation-related arts relating to theMonster God Ming King Artwere in his head. Some were even ones that he had never thought of, while some he had yet to attain. He was surprised and overjoyed in his heart.

Shi Buyi was in a hurry to study the sun pupil and moon pupil. That was why he had just recklessly tossed over all of his knowledge to at Zhong Yue. He then took out a dark-green colored copper lamp and said, My good disciple, this is the soul lamp, one that could only be lit up by your soul. Once youve lightened it up, I would then be able to know your whereabouts. And if you are in trouble, I can know your position in the first minute so that I can rush over and save you. Now, light this lamp with your soul, then you may return to the Fengbo Palace and study the attainments Ive given you. Dont disappoint your teacher.

Soul Lamp?

Zhong Yues heart thumped heavier, he cast his gaze over at the copper lamp, his heart was hesitating. In his initial plan, he would be departing back to the Gu Xia City right away after the inauguration ceremony and ratifying his status as the saint city lords disciple. He was simply unwilling to stay in this perilous place, beleaguered by enemies that wanted his head.

And now, Shi Buyi was asking him to light up a soul lamp, something that would expose his location to Shu Buyi at anytime like a tracking device.!

That said, even if he had left the Xian Kong Saint City, wouldnt Shi Buyi still be able to know it easily?

Zhong Yue knew that Shi Buyi would never let him off, although he would not do it himself, he would still definitely end Zhong Yues life through the hands of others. If Zhong Yue had lightened up the soul lamp, Shi Buyi would be able to know his positions and when the word got out, Zhong Yue would be tracked and hunted down by his innumerable enemies. Only death would await him!

Not only that, if he lights up the soul lamp, then he would not be able to return to the Great Wilderness. Otherwise, Shi Buyi would realize and easily surmise that he was not from the dragon race, but a spy from the human race!

Yueer? Shi Buyi smiled warmly while rays like sword flashed across in his eyes.

Zhong Yue remained placid and cast out out his atman to light up the soul lamp. With that, Shi Buyi was finally content, he retrieved the soul weapon, smiled and said, You may now return back to your palace and study the arts.

Zhong Yue bowed and left, he slowly strolled out of the saint city lords manor and leisurely ambled back to Fengbo Palace.

In the middle of Shi Buyis forehead, a divine eye suddenly opened, the eye moved slowly, watching at the walls. It was as if his divine eye could see through the walls and reach Zhong Yue, carefully observing every facet of Zhong Yues being; his expressions, his heartbeat, even the flow of his blood!

The rate of your heartbeat and the blood flow wasnt disturbed at all, interesting.

Shi Buyi mumbled to himself, Although the sun pupil and moon pupil youve shown me are full and complete without concealing anything, I didnt believe a single word youve said. What a shrewd and sneaky little brat.

Zhong Yue furtively heaved a breath of relief when he arrived at the Fengbo Palace, and his face turned solemn. In his psyche ocean, Xin Huo turned back to a little flame from the fireball, he said, Brat Yue, that saint city lord, none of his words are trustworthy!

Zhong Yue nodded and said, His words, Ive taken in none of it to heart. But the knowledge he has given me is true, except that some of the core attainments were missing. He has kept a hand in the shadows. He is probably doing so just in case I survive so that he can use them against me in the future! But all of this doesnt really matter, whats more important is that I lit up the soul lamp, no matter where I am, I cant hide from Shi Buyi. If he knows my whereabouts, then Im dead for sure!

Xin Huo laughed and said, Whats so hard about it? Its just a soul lamp. Well, if he has placed some seals in your body to surveil you, then it would indeed be a very knotty problem. But soul lamp, its a toy that can easily be broken. I have a small trick, its called theCan Carrier, it can change the oscillations of your soul and render the soul lamp ineffectual. Find a plum wood, sculpt yourself with it and immerse it with your soul for two days, let the plum wood carry the air of your soul, and then change your souls oscillation frequency, the plum wood totem pillar will then become the substitute soul in your place. What the soul lamp detects would then be the position of the plum wood, while you yourself would be free and unfettered, able to stroll freely to wherever your heart so desires!

Zhong Yue was shocked and overjoyed, he said, Theres still such intriguing and marvelous little tricks?

Xin Huo turned proud and conceited, This is because my twenty-first Xin Huo inheritor had too many lovers, he had to create this little trick to mislead his wives and lovers so that he can continue gallivanting and finding more lovers.

Zhong Yue was speechless, he asked in a very stately and serious manner, Xin Huo, do you think that we the Fuxi Celestial Race has waned to such an extent because our ancestors had placed too much attention in this area?

Pui ! This was for the noble purpose of passing down the esteemed bloodline of the celestial race, this isnt some basic promiscuity!

Xin Huo preached solemnly, Only by finding more lovers to make love with can we produce more celestials. This would in turn cause the Fuxi Celestial Race to flourish and prosper, so that the inheritance can be continued to be passed down from generation to generation! You dont know how much hard work and effort the Xin Huo inheritors had poured in for their posterity!

They were just horny people, spending all of their time on females!

Xin Huo was heartbroken and aggrieved. He lamented, Young man of the Fuxi Celestial Race, I am so very disappointed in you, you spit at the diligence and arduous endeavors that your ancestors undertook to ensure the prosperity of the race!

The plum wood was not hard to find, Zhong Yue managed to find himself one but he did not start sculpting immediately. He first soaked it with his soul and allowed the aura of his soul to permeate through the plum wood.

Another two days passed, rays flashed in Zhong Yues eyes and he mumbled, I cant stay in the Xian Kong Saint City any longer. But thisCan Carriercant be used now, I can only use it when Im back in the Gu Xia City. Otherwise, if I were to use it right after I leave the city, Shi Buyi will definitely be able to notice the abnormalities. His psyche is too strong, he can identify my movements with just a single scan and if he checks with the soul lamp again, he would soon realize that I had tampered with the soul lamp. But, if I dont use it now, I would lose my opportunity to leave the city . At that point, my enemies will definitely come after me.

The journey back to the Gu Xia City seemed like it would be another journey beleaguered with danger!
