Chapter 754: Salute, To The Unyielding Me

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Zhong Yue sat down quietly, he raised the saber ray up on the Six Paths Reincarnation in the center of the palace, shining on Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan’s Dao totem patterns. The Dao totem patterns were extremely profound to the point that they were indecipherable to him.

He calmed himself and studied them carefully; even if he didn’t understand anything now, as long as he never stopped studying them, he would one day be able to learn something from them.

Days flashed by, then months, then years.

When Zhong Yue was finally able to glean a tiny part of the Heavenly Monarch’s totem patterns, 500 years had already elapsed. Ever since then, more and more mysteries became clear to him over time.

Another a thousand years had passed, Zhong Yue finally understood all of the totem patterns in the Six Paths Reincarnation. From there on, he started to calculate the flaw in the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror.

It took another 1,500 years for him to derive the flaw in the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror.

Zhong Yue had now turned into a middle-aged man, his face was repleted with the vicisstudes of life as he looked up at the mirror in the center of the Six Paths Reincarnation. The mirror was the core of the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror, forged by Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan himself.

In it, there was only one flaw—a surge of innate Qi that was incompatible with the other innate Qi.

That left him with only one way to leave, that is to break that surge of innate Qi!

However, if I wield the saber against the innate Qi, the reaction force from the impact will kill me on the spot as even though this innate Qi is not on the Heavenly Monarch level, it’s no much inferior to that too.

Zhong Yue examed the innate Qi through its reflection in the saber ray and found that admist the innate totem patterns in the innate Qi, one of them was cleaved apart by what was possibly a saber.

It’s me from the past life that did it. The innate totem pattern was severed but I was also killed immediately after. What a shame, I can’t fully pass down all of my knowledge and findings to myself in the next life.

Zhong Yue exhaled deeply, he wrote down the attainments he had on the ground. That way, when the future him arrived, he would be able to understand them quicker and find the flaw in the mirror faster.

However, even so, the attainments were still incredibly abstruse, it would still take a long time for his future self to comprehend them.

If only I can pass all my memories to the next life, I won’t have to go through all these hassles one life after another anymore. What a pity I am not strong enough to do that…

After Zhong Yue finished writing his attainments on the ground, he pulled out the innate divine saber formed with the Heavenly Monarch’s sword hilt, surged all of his arcane energy into it and brought it down heavily on the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror!

“I WILL LEAVE FOR SURE!”

He roared at the top of his lungs as the saber ray blinded the palace, and the tremendous explosion from the impact ravaged the whole palace. He was vaporized in an instant and along with it, one of the many totem patterns was also cleaved apart!

Not a single bit of Zhong Yue’s mortal body was left behind, while his soul and spirit was sucked away by the Six Paths Reincarnation on the palace center and into the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror.

The Six Paths Reincarnation revolved rapidly, its power unleashed and a bright ray shot out from the mirror, disappearing at the end of the maze.

When the light dispersed, Zhong Yue was seen standing on the ground with a deeply puzzled face. He took out the Heavenly Monarch’s sword hilt and examined it carefully.

“So I still have so many flaws.” Zhong Yue looked at his reflection in the saber ray and mumbled.

He then shone the saber ray at the totem patterns on the walls and exclaimed in shock, “How is this even possible? They are in their simplest form already and I still can’t glean anything out of them? What level are they possibly in? Xin Huo, do you know anything about these totem patterns?”

…

He was walking down the corridor, discovering himself trapped inside of a maze, and saw the warnings he has left on the sides of the walls.

“Wrong, only death stands ahead.”

“These words… they look familiar. Maybe they are from someone from the 3,000 Six Paths World grand competition who has also fallen into the mirror.”

…

Half a year later, he has reached the end of the maze and saw the grand palace.

“No, this isn’t right. This is the galactic art of 6,000 years ago, they are different to the one on the ceiling, something is slightly off between the two… Wait, the totem patterns, I…”

“My own totem patterns? I was the one who drew the galactic art? When did I draw it? When was I here?”

“It’s this Six Paths Reincarnation, reviving me after every death and thrown me back to the same spot one time after another…”

…

“I WILL LEAVE FOR SURE!”

…

3,000 years later, Zhong Yue was revived again, walking down the same path.

“Wrong, only death stands ahead.”

“These words… they look familiar. Maybe they are from someone from the 3,000 Six Paths World grand competition who has also fallen into the mirror.”

“No, this isn’t right. This is the galactic art of 9,000 years ago, they are different to the one on the ceiling, something is off between the two… Wait, the totem patterns, I…”

“… This is the galactic art of 120 thousand years ago, they are different to the one on the ceiling, the differences are huge between the two…”

“… This is the galactic art of three million years ago, they are completely different to the one on the ceiling, if it wasn’t for the divinatory calculation technique, it’s impossible to know they are of the same universe.”

“… This is the galactic art of a hundred million years ago, someone is here a hundred million years ago? Is that even possible? Even Heavenly Monarch Tian Yuan was just a presence of only tens of thousand years ago.”

“… This is the galactic art of two billion years ago, why is there such an ancient galactic art here?”

“… This is the galactic art of 5.6 billion years ago? So terrifying, what kind of existence was it that lived five thousand six hundred million years ago?”

…

“It has been 30 billion years ago, 30 billion years…”

The Six Paths Reincarnation was revolving in the center of the palace, the mirror in the middle shone brightly on the man standing below it; the expressions on his face were mixed. 30 billion years of reincarnating one time after another, experiencing the same thing over and over again.

He was like an ant who knows no pain nor enervation, repeating the same actions, same words, same paths.

Just how many times had he died during these 30 billion years of time?

I am not smart, I might even be the dumbest ever.

Zhong Yue scoffed and laughed at himself. It was true, sometimes he was really dumb and impulsive, such as the battle with Bo Di. What did it matter to act the weakling and take a loss by Bo Di? Yet, he didn’t even step down and won twice. He had offended Realm Monarch Bo Di’s, causing him to end up here in the end.

In terms of intelligence, I am not even a march for Senior Martial Brother Feng Xiaozhong, he is way smarter than I am.

In terms of temperament, I am not as poised and calm as Si Ming, she can disregard the lives of humans in the Ancestral Star just so she can awaken the Fuxi Heavenly Monarchs resting in the planet.

In terms of strategy, I can’t even compare to that evil presence.

In terms of potential, I am mostly just an ordinary man, if it weren’t for Xin Huo, I’d be long dead already.

I am not as sociable and friendly as Elder Shui Zian; not as composed and cunning as the old headmaster; not as domineering and commanding as Senior Martial Jun Sixie; not as focused as Senior Martial Brother Fang Jiange. I only have one strong point…

My will exceeds all of them. My mind and will are unbreakable, indiminishable!

I can bear with loneliness, no matter how long it is!

Even 30 billion years of time, I will still remain as myself!

This heart of mine, the will I bear, they remain unchanged!

He raised the innate divine saber up high as he laughed. Along with the anguish from the struggles and torments of 30 billion years, he cleaved down on the Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror!

The mirror, a creation of a Heavenly Monarch, quivered lightly under his saber ray, and a small sound of cracking could be heard from it.

Kacha—

A crack appeared on the mirror and grew larger over time, like an ant climbing on the mirror surface.

Zhong Yue’s eyes turned watery and tears rolled down his cheek.

Pa-ta—

Droplets of tear slammed on the floor and resounded the palace.

The Heaven Origin Reincarnation Mirror then shuddered vigorously and the mirror’s core cleaved into two halves by Zhong Yue’s saber!

Krong—

The hall crumbled, the rocks fell, and the pillars shattered. The astronomical bodies in the galactic art above him came crashing down as if they were going to hit on the ground.

Behind the palace, the maze was also quaking and crumbling. Only Zhong Yue stood steadfast, watching as the space rift opened before him, in between the broken mirror and the destroyed Six Paths Reincarnation.

A path had finally emerged before him, it was the path to salvation!

Zhong Yue kept the innate divine saber back into the light wheels behind his head. He turned around, looked at the crumbling maze and abruptly bowed.

“Salute, to the unyielding me of these 30 billion years!”

Then, he turned and left, leaving a devastated ruin behind.

As he stepped out of the palace and back into the real world, the young man raised his saber and pointed it at the sky.

“One day, I will tear this sky apart and replace it with a new order!”

He shouted loudly, releasing his inner emotions of these 30 billion years!

“Xin Huo—”

His voice shuddered the sky, resounding all over the place.

Suddenly, a little flame bolted over at a tremendous speed from the far end of his vision, he laughed, “Brat Yue, so this is where you were! What’s with all the shouting?”

Zhong Yue surged the arcane energy down his feet and flashed toward the little flame while Xin Huo laughed, “There’s a mirror spirit in this mirror, she noticed me and wanted to digest me. But who am I, the great Xin Huo? I sat there for 3 years without even lifting up a single finger and watched her trying to digest me. But just seconds ago, she suddenly shattered and died. What a sad child… Wait, wait, what are you doing?”

Zhong Yue lunged over, his mortal body shrunk to the same size as the little flame and gave Xin Huo a tight hug while hopping around.

Xin Huo was shocked, he shouted, “Let go, let me go! It’s just 3 years, and that’s how much you’ve missed me? Let go of me, now!”

Zhong Yue only let Xin Huo go he has released his excitements. His mortal body returned back to the normal size while Xin Huo sat on his shoulder laughing, “Aren’t you a little overreacting? Learn from me, I was not even terrified when she tried to convert me into her powers and watched as her efforts laid in vain… Brat Yue, this mirror is a good one, it should be a treasure forged by a Heavenly Monarch, but there’s a flaw in it. Go that way, I think them mirror’s core is there… Oh, damn it!”

The little flame hovered up above the ruins, filled with anger he shouted, “Damn it! Who cleaved the mirror apart! Don’t let me find you, or I will kill you for sure!”

“Xin Huo, it’s me…” Zhong Yue answered awkwardly.

But, Xin Huo only glanced over him and replied, “Quit joking. Which idiot did this, show yourself and face me!”
