Chapter 675 – Past Life Previous Body

Zhong Yue really did not know what to say anymore; the shed skin of this Huaxu innate goddess was just like a living person that could sing, speak and even recognize Xin Huo.

Is this really shed skin?

How could shed skin actually gain sentience and have memories?

Now, he was really lost about the capabilities of the innate gods.

Xin Huo was also frightened as he thought, This is someone even older than me!

From how she addressed Xin Huo, he could tell that this Huaxu innate goddess came from an eon even greater than him. He, Xin Huo the mystical flame was created by Sui Sovereign during the Flame Order Era, but this innate goddess might have already been alive even before the Flame Order Era.

Of course, she could also be one of those that were born after that but from her tone and her looks, she probably wasn’t.

Suddenly, Zhong Yue remembered something and quickly turned around only to realize that Bai Canghai and Ma Sansou were no longer next to him, even the door had disappeared. But he was not nervous or particularly worried because he knew that it was this goddess that moved them into a different dimension.

Although it was just skin, she possessed immortal strength that dwarfed Zhong Yue’s as she transported Zhong Yue somewhere without him realizing anything at all.

I guess the soul token is completely useless now. It has been useless ever since I got onto the transparent jade mountain or the Realm Lord of the Prison Realm would’ve noticed me when he felt us staring at him.

This was Zhong Yue’s thought process as he looked at Xin Huo conversing with the innate goddess.

“I fell into slumber, I did not know how long I’ve slept and I’ve become a stranger to this new world.” Xin Huo said, “Where are the innate gods of Huaxu Celestial Race? Where is the real you? She shed you down here for what purpose? Why and who sealed the Fuxi Celestial Race? What happened during my slumber? Who created the Six Paths Reincarnation? What is with the Pan Gu Six Path Celestial Being? Who is in charge of everything now?”

“You ask too many questions, I am merely the skin shed by Goddess Hou Tu, how would I know so much?” The shed skin answered, “Goddess Hou Tu did not like me because she thinks that I am not pure enough so she shed me away. Then, she turned into a god of pure Dao after she left behind her blood and discarded skin, me. Beneath this blood ocean, I could only vaguely sense what happened so I do not know about the details. I have no answers to your questions but I do know who created the Six Paths of Reincarnation.”

Right away, Zhong Yue and Xin Huo paid close attention to her and awaited her answer; the shed skin of the Huaxu innate goddess had been isolated within this palace for too long, she definitely wouldn’t be aware of the happenings that have taken place here. However, since she still knew something, she might be able to aid them in solving pieces of the puzzle.

“This is the Dao blood of an innate god?” murmured Zhong Yue in confusion for he had no idea why Goddess Hou Tu would change her Dao blood.

She was a god born and nurtured by heaven and earth, bestowed with the great power of nature. What would be the reason for her to entirely change her blood?

But the Dao blood that made this blood ocean was priceless; even just a drop had immeasurable value!

One must know that just the sweat of an innate god had almost caused Zhong Yue’s mirror scale to break. If it were a drip of blood, the power contained within it could only be imagined! If he could extract the essence of the blood and use it to refine his bloodline, he would reap incredible benefits!

As one of the two great ancestors of the Fuxi Celestial Race, the Huaxu Celestial Race and the Fuxi Celestial Race had related bloodlines, so their blood would be incredibly helpful to Zhong Yue in refining his Fuxi bloodline!

With that, one could tell just how valuable this blood ocean was!

But the Dao blood was also extremely dangerous at the same time, and apart from Xin Huo’s copper lantern, Zhong Yue had nothing else that could contain it.

Besides, he couldn’t even get near the blood ocean so how was he to retrieve a few drops of blood?

“Other than the Fuxi Celestial Race, who could rule the Earth Order Era?” The shed skin of the goddess floated along the blood waves and replied, “Of course it’s the Fuxi Celestial Race that created it.They’ve invited the leaders from the races, studied, researched and finally, created the Six Paths Reincarnation. Goddess Hou Tu was among the invited leaders and only after acquiring the secrets of the Six Paths Reincarnation did Goddess Hou Tu decide to shed her previous body and blood in order to take the next step higher in her cultivation. Her status as an innate god was her greatest blessing but also her ultimate prison, limiting her to the power of worship. In order to transcend these limits, she had to relinquish her old body in favor of a new one that wasn’t bound by such laws.”

The Six Path Reincarnation’s creation was the idea of the Heavenly Monarchs of the Fuxi Celestial Race?

This was what came up in the mind of both Zhong Yue and Xin Huo as they exchanged glances.

“Then why was the bloodline of Fu Xi Celestial Race sealed away?”

“That I have no idea,” replied the shed skin with a shook, “I heard that the Fu Xi Celestial Race went into decline during the Earth Order Era before finally fading into obscurity. But since I was trapped here, I have become oblivious to the outside world. However, there is one thing I know, Fire of the Universe Soul, your inheritor is too weak. There is nothing he can do even if he knows everything, he is better off not knowing anything at all.”

Disappointed, Xin Huo said again, “You really don’t know, huh?”

But soon, he shrugged off his disappointment and said again, “Zhong Yue is not a pure-blooded Fuxi. He is, at most, only half my inheritor. Speaking of which, since there is so much blood here, would you mind gifting him some to purify his bloodline?”

The shed skin giggled happily and said, “I could give you some, after all, you are directly under the Sui Sovereign. But with the strength of your inheritor, I’m afraid he won’t be able to use the blood even if he receives it.”

“It doesn’t matter, we’d be happy and satisfied just to receive it.”

Xin Huo replied with a smile, which was kinda interesting as the skeleton body of Zhong Yue he controlled smiled as well, “Other than the blood, we would like to request you to bestow us with something else as well. Goddess Hou Tu experimented with the Six Paths of Reincarnation here, she must’ve rained down countless opportunities and treasures everywhere from her experiments. As her shed skin and also our relative, you wouldn’t reject our request, right?”

The shed skin quickly replied, “According to the orders of Goddess Hou Tu before she left, anyone who enters this place and successfully sings the song I sang will become the fated man that liberates me from this place. Now thinking back, perhaps the reason she left me here was to cross paths with the two of you? Ever since she evolved to the new stage, her power has reached to a level she once looked up at. Now, what do you want from me?”

Xin Huo immediately replied happily, “The more the merrier! Whatever she discarded, we want! The attainments of the Dao she left behind, her innate Qi, techniques and whatever! Ideally, could you give us everything you have?”

Zhong Yue was embarrassed by the Xin Huo’s shamelessness; the little flame actually asked to have everything given to them, and it was truly embarrassing.

The shed skin smiled and said, “I have everything you requested, but the problem is you won’t be able to use it even if I give them to you. You will need luck, sufficient ability, and destiny’s favor to be able to obtain them. Now, you do indeed have luck with you, but slightly inferior ability. However, that could be remedied since you are guided by Xin Huo. Your fate however, is not enough to sustain the cost of holding such treasures. If I give them to you, not only will they not aid in your improvements, they will place you in a very dangerous position, perhaps ultimately killing you.”

What she said was true; those things mentioned by Xin Huo were treasures beyond the level of what the Realm Monarch could even possess, and if they were given to Zhong Yue, he would not be able safely claim them.

If any one of these treasures were discovered by the people outside, Zhong Yue would become a target that even the Realm Monarch wouldn’t ignore. Just how easy was it for him to kill Zhong Yue and plunder all the treasures?

“Then what can you give us?” Xin Huo asked as he did not want to give up.

”I will impart you with an art called the【Earth Mother’s Empress Art】created by Goddess Hou Tu. The others are not meant for you at this time, and as Goddess Hou Tu’s past body, I’ll need to use some of the things she left behind if I wish to leave.”

Zhong Yue, on the other hand, quickly said, “Xin Huo, ask her to give us something that will allow us to open our Bloodline Realm!”

Xin Huo immediately followed Zhong Yue’s request and quickly voiced out their request which confused the shed skin as she replied, “What is so good about this? This is like the worst among everything left behind by Goddess Hou Tu. Opening the Bloodline Realm through such means will be of little help to Qi Practitioners. It can only be considered as an imperfect Six Paths Reincarnation at most.”

“An imperfect one?” Zhong Yue and Xin Huo who were both confused.

“Of course, it is very weak compared to the real one as the Pan Gu Celestial is absent in the imperfect one. Without the Pan Gu Celestial, the Six Paths will not be united and that will greatly limit one’s achievements. At that point, that person might as well be reborn again and try to achieve the Bloodline Wheel again.”

“I see.”

Zhong Yue was very curious back then, but now, his confusion was cleared; Ma Sansou and the others managed to achieve the Bloodline Wheel at some point, but their strengths were far below his, a fact that greatly troubled him.

“If I was somehow lucky enough to achieve the Bloodline Secret Realm, will I still be able to cultivate the Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation?” asked Zhong Yue again.

“No, without the Pan Gu Celestial, even if you manage to attain the Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation, you will not be able to cultivate it.”

Zhong Yue’s heart sank as Qiu Jin’er and Jun Sixie were both trapped within the Song Realm. When he taught the two girls how to achieve the Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation, he thought that he could help them obtain a chance to open the Bloodline Secret Realm so that they could escape.

But now, everything seemed to be just false hopes!

Perhaps the two ladies would not be able to leave the Song Realm for eternity.

He quickly calmed himself again and asked hopefully, “Is there a chance to escape from a realm after absorbing the energy from that realm without cultivating the Dao of Six Paths Reincarnation?”

The shed skin replied puzzlingly, “Why not? It is not that hard to escape from the realms. Those realms were created in order to verify Goddess Hou Tu’s theories on the Six Paths, not a place to imprison anyone. All you have to do is just jump out from it.”

“But how?” Zhong Yue asked in shock.

“Just jump like that. Oh, I forgot. Your strength is too weak that you can’t win against the power of the realm,” answered the shed skin, “I think I understand your predicament now. Your strength is too weak so you can’t do anything if you run into the power of the realm.

Upon hearing her reply, Zhong Yue did not know how to react as he thought, Just how weak is weak? Even the Realm Lord of the Prison Realm failed to do so and how strong is he? Is he considered weak as well then?

“If that is the case so, then things will be slightly difficult…” The shed skin murmured before saying again, “Then there is only one way left, the easiest way.”

“And what is that?”
