Chapter 569: Chapter 548 The Whereabouts of the Great Emperor (3/3)

If Zhou Hongshen knew that Zhou Heng had only stayed at the Moonlight King stage for less than half a year, he would have been even more astonished!

Because even with his family’s full support, it took him eight years to form an Eight-Wheels Half Moon and a hundred years to break through the realm barrier to enter the Second Layer Heaven of Moonlight.

This speed of cultivation was already among the top five in the Zhou Family! And which descendant of the old Zhou Family didn’t have astonishing talent? Even the top five from the old Zhou Family could squeeze into the top ten in Juexian City!

That was confidence!

But compared to Zhou Heng, his achievements seemed to be at the ends of the Earth.

Although Zhou Hongshen didn’t know exactly how many years Zhou Heng had spent at the Moonlight King stage, judging from Zhou Heng’s vigorous vitality, he definitely wouldn’t be over fifty years old!

This meant that Zhou Heng took at most fifty years to break through to the Moonlight Sovereign!

And he wasn’t just an ordinary Moonlight King, he had first formed Twenty-One Wheels Moon!

Such a speed of cultivation... Did even the Great Emperor have such monstrous talents back then?

As nature’s spiritual energy surged, Zhou Heng quickly stabilized his realm. But it wasn’t over yet, for there were still Fourteen Wheels Half Moon to consolidate.

Hum!

Two Wheels Half Moon merged first, forming a second Half Moon; as this Half Moon formed, Zhou Heng’s strength immediately surged by a great margin, giving him the intoxicating sense that he could shatter the heavens and the Earth with a single punch.

The third Half Moon, the fourth Half Moon... the eighth Half Moon!

The first Half Moon was the hardest to merge because it was Seven Wheels Unification – a realm barrier. However, the subsequent unifications of two Half Moons were naturally much simpler, and having already stepped into the Moonlight Sovereign, everything proceeded smoothly.

Eight Wheels Half Moon!

Eight Wheels Moonlight Sovereign!

Zhou Hongshen had an urge to bash his head against a wall out of inferiority, because he himself had only formed Ten Wheels Half Moon back then, yet that had been his limit and a source of great pride.

Ten Wheels Half Moon, how impressive! But what about Zhou Heng? Upon entering the Moonlight Sovereign realm, he started with Eight Wheels Moon, and his end would definitely not stop at Ten Wheels Moon; he might even create another miracle and achieve Twenty-One Wheels Half Moon!

To compare goods makes one throw them away; to compare people... can infuriate one to death!

Zhou Hongshen sighed. This family junior who popped out from nowhere, was he born just to slap him in the face? He had only seen him for less than a night, and now he felt as though his own face was swollen from slapping.

Being with a monster puts one under great pressure!

After a tremble through his body, Zhou Heng rose to his feet. With a casual clench of his fist, he felt a horrifying power coursing through his body, at least a thousand times stronger than before!

With Eight Wheels Half Moon, Seven Wheels as the base, the last wheel propelled Zhou Heng’s true strength into the threshold of the Moonlight Emperor!

Before, the power of his Twenty-One Wheels Half Moon only surpassed the peak Moonlight Sovereign but was unable to face a true Moonlight Emperor head-on because he was unable to penetrate two Great Realm barriers.

It was like when Meng Ye fell to the Quasi-Moonlight Emperor Realm, Zhou Heng could only match him evenly.

With Eight Wheels Half Moon, his pure strength was barely comparable to a One Wheel Moonlight Emperor! And with the addition of Immortal Technique, even battling a peak Moonlight Sovereign would hardly determine a clear victor, for there were no longer any realm barriers between them.

"Heng, my boy, where the hell did you pop up from? Are you trying to scare me to death?" Zhou Hongshen saw that Zhou Heng had finally finished and stood up. He couldn’t hold back and hurriedly asked.

"I come from Xuanqian Star," Zhou Heng said, maintaining considerable respect for this ancestor of unknown generations.

"Xuanqian Star? The Great Emperor’s home star?" Zhou Hongshen was startled but then suddenly realized why such a monster suddenly appeared in the family. He originated from the Great Emperor’s home star!

He thought for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Now I remember, you are a descendant of Ancestor Qianwen!"

"When the Great Emperor left Xuanqian Star, though he opened the Star Gate, the lack of Spirit Stones limited the number of people he could take. Ancestor Qianwen had just fallen in love, and his lover’s family was too large to take with him. Plus, she refused to leave with Ancestor Qianwen alone."

"Furthermore, Ancestor Qianwen’s own talent was poor, and his constitution was very weak, making it difficult for him to withstand the burden of crossing the Star Gate. Thus, he chose to stay on Xuanqian Star."

Zhou Heng nodded, listening to Zhou Hongshen’s narrative, he could now piece together all the events.

When the Great Eternal Emperor left Xuanqian Star, it was the darkest period for the Martial Path, and as Zhou Qianwen had poor innate talent, his bloodline laid dormant. Nearly a hundred thousand years of inheritance never awoke.

Until Zhou Heng embarked on the Martial Path, the Purple Flame Heavenly Dragon bloodline finally awakened.

Calculating carefully, the Zhou Family might have had a Heaven-Opening Realm martial artist during Zhou Qianwen’s time. But as time went on, they became more pitiful. Even if everyone were Heaven-Opening Realm martial artists, they would only have a lifespan of a thousand years at most.

A hundred thousand years... that’s a hundred generations!

Zhou Hongshen, being a descendant of the nineteenth generation of the Great Eternal Emperor, had every right to refer to Zhou Heng as an ancestor.

"Ancestor Shen, where is the Great Eternal Emperor now?" Zhou Heng held great respect for this old ancestor, not for his power, but for that spirited, daredevil attitude!

To brazenly storm Juexian City! What audacity!

"The Great Emperor set out to re-establish order in the Immortal Realm, so he launched an attack on Juexian City, battling those bloody clans with the might of a peak Creation Sovereign, making them cry for their parents! Unfortunately, after so many years of inheritance in the Immortal Realm, there still are many hidden experts who managed to suppress the Great Emperor!"

Zhou Hongshen didn’t keep a single secret from Zhou Heng, spilling all the secrets in one go, "However, the Great Emperor manipulates creation, and those bastards can only suppress him temporarily, the Great Emperor will definitely break out again!"

"Old Ancestor Yuhe is also about to break through to the Creation Sovereign, attacking from both inside and out, we will surely help the Great Emperor escape!"

"Right, Old Ancestor Yuhe is the Great Emperor’s eldest son and also the elder brother of Ancestor Qianwen!"

Zhou Heng felt a strong desire rising in his heart, wishing he could immediately possess the battle power of the Creation Realm to join the rest of the Zhou Family in storming into Juexian City, and after helping the Great Eternal Emperor escape, turn heaven and earth upside down!

"Come back home with me, we’re temporarily settling in North Seven City, to avoid the pursuit of Juexian City. Haha, the family will be overjoyed to know that Ancestor Qianwen has a descendant, and such an extraordinary one at that!" Zhou Hongshen laughed heartily.

"Wait!" Zhou Heng quickly gestured with his hand, "I still have some personal matters to deal with, I can’t leave just yet!"

"Hm?" Zhou Hongshen curled his lips but didn’t press further, for who doesn’t have their own secrets?

He frowned and said, "I was pursuing a villain when I happened to pass over this area and sensed your presence, so I came to find you right after finishing my business! I’ve been away from home for seven years chasing that criminal... In another three years, it will be Old Ancestor Yuhe’s ninety-thousand-year celebration, I need to go back immediately to prepare and also inform the family about you!"

"I must leave now, you deal with your personal matters and then immediately come to Copper Heart Valley in North Seven City to meet up, don’t miss Old Ancestor Yuhe’s birthday celebration!"

"I’m off then!"

Zhou Hongshen shot up into the air as if his pants were on fire. This junior family member’s talent was so monstrous it was enough to crush anyone’s confidence!

"Wait—" Zhou Heng hadn’t even spoken when Ancestor Shen was already gone without a trace.

Unreliable! Truly unreliable!

Zhou Heng sighed in his heart; North Seven City was actually North Wu City, and entering it required at least the Cultivation Level of Sunshine Three-Layer Heaven or being accompanied by at least a Sunshine Emperor. Without Zhou Hongshen’s guidance, how was he supposed to get in?

Three years... just a mere three years, did Ancestor Shen truly have such confidence that he believed he could advance from Moonlight Sovereign to Sunshine Emperor in that time?

Alright, if Zhou Hongshen could be so confident, why couldn’t he?

Within three years, he must become a Sunshine Emperor!

—Little did Zhou Heng know that Zhou Hongshen wasn’t blindly confident in him at all, but rather, he was just a huge scatterbrain who had completely forgotten about this detail!

Zhou Heng walked with his sword, slaughtering his way into the Meng Family.

Although the main perpetrator was dead, it was possible that the ones who killed Nalan Tianhe and his family were still at large! He had already issued an ultimatum, and now those who remained in the Meng Family only had a path of death before them!

Blood flowed into seas and corpses stretched for miles!

Zhou Heng’s power level had reached that of a One Wheel Moonlight Emperor, and coupled with the Immortal Techniques he mastered, his battle power was even more formidable! With both Moonlight Emperors of the Meng Family already dead, and only Mo Yuyan as the sole Moonlight Emperor of the Mo Family, who could stop Zhou Heng now?

Annihilation!

Zhou Heng sheathed his sword, his eyes expressing neither sorrow nor joy. He did not relish killing, but he did not mind it either!

It was time to go back!

With the Meng Family extinguished and the threat of the Mo Family removed, he could now join Yang Lanxin in traveling to Xihai City to meet up with Huo Tian, Black Donkey, and the rest.

—Clearly, this was the only location both parties knew, and Huo Tian would surely find a way to bring the women and Black Donkey to Xihai City.

Thinking of his charming wife and beautiful maidservants warmed Zhou Heng’s heart, and a strong desire to see the women immediately surged through him.

He soared into the air and quickly left the market, heading towards the hiding place of Yang Lanxin and the other two women.

Having broken through a Great Realm, Zhou Heng’s speed had greatly improved. Though it wasn’t millions of times faster, it was still about tenfold. In just over ten minutes, he arrived at the sanctuary of the three women.

"Zhou Heng!" Yang Lanxin immediately came forward to greet him, diving into Zhou Heng’s arms without any hesitation, as if deliberately declaring her dominance to Nalan Yaoyue.

"Are you alright?" Nalan Yaoyue glanced at Yang Lanxin and then asked Zhou Heng.

"I’m fine!" Zhou Heng shook his head, "The Meng Family is no more, you and Wuyue can let go of your hatred and live your lives now!"

"The Meng Family is gone?" Nalan Yaoyue’s enchanting eyes blinked in disbelief, her pretty face filled with astonishment.

The Meng Family had a Moonlight Emperor too!

Zhou Heng had said that his trip was only to slaughter a few Meng Family members, just to make them panic, but to say that he had wiped out the entire Meng Family, wasn’t that a bit too exaggerated?

"What happened?" Yang Lanxin also asked in surprise.

"It’s a long story!"

"Well then, take your time telling it!"

Under the coercion and enticement of the two women, Zhou Heng had no choice but to recount the events of the past few days. However, since the Great Eternal Emperor was now a taboo existence in the Immortal Realm, he concealed Zhou Hongshen’s identity, saying only that the gentleman found the two Moonlight Emperors of the Meng Family displeasing to the eye and casually eradicated them.

The two women didn’t believe that there could be such a "chivalrous" person, but what could they do if Zhou Heng stuck to that story? (To be continued.
