Chapter 831: 432 Life
“You don’t understand?”
Fang Zhixing gauged the situation, noticing Xigou’s bewildered expression, as if he were listening to some heavenly scripture.
He couldn’t help but laugh, “Let me tell you, if I ascend to the Third Layer now, my cultivation should be stepping over the threshold of the ‘Fate Realm’, allowing me to briefly preset my own future.”
“The Nirvana Realm cultivates the past.”
“The Reincarnation Realm cultivates the present.”
“The Fate Realm cultivates the future!”
“Nirvana rebirths in the past, reincarnation occurs in this life, fate turns in the future!”
“A person can only look back at the past, stay in the present, and strive to change the future!”
Upon hearing these words, Xigou felt vaguely awed, understanding yet feeling as though he understood nothing, profound and unfathomable.
After a while, Xigou felt indifferent.
After all, he was a Mutant Beast, able to devour everything using the power of his bloodline, without needing to understand these mysterious concepts.
Shortly, the man and the dog walked out of the seclusion chamber.
“Hey, you’re finally out…”
The monkey greeted him with a face full of complaint.
For seven days, all forces have been searching extensively for Fang Zhixing.
Unfortunately, seven days ago, someone saw a rainbow light speeding through the sky, seemingly crashing down in Monkey City.
All at once, many bounty hunters flocked here, wandering the city and causing quite a bit of trouble.
Even the Ancient Emperor took note of this Giant City, repeatedly instructing the monkey to conduct a thorough investigation.
Because of this, the monkey had to deceive both sides, pretending to act accordingly, bearing enormous pressure from within.
At this moment, the monkey was full of grievances, just about to vent on Fang Zhixing, when he suddenly froze, his pupils contracting sharply inward.
“You…”
The monkey was uncertain and took a good look at Fang Zhixing, his brows gradually knitting into a knot.
Seven days ago, he could still discern some details about Fang Zhixing, roughly judging him to likely only be in the Heavenly Gang Realm.
But now…
He couldn’t see through Fang Zhixing at all!
Fang Zhixing cupped his hands respectfully, sincerely saying, “Thank you, Fellow Daoist, for your great support. I will now go fulfill my promise.”
The monkey gasped, shocked, “What, you’re going to kill the Human Emperor just like that?”
Fang Zhixing nodded and smiled, “No time like the present. Today is a good day for killing.”
“…”
The monkey was momentarily speechless, couldn’t help but explain, “The Human Emperor is not just one person, he has the Left and Right Envoys, four major protectors, and numerous experts following him.”
“The Left Envoy is the Sect Hierarch of the Fire Worship Sect, the Right Envoy is the Sect Hierarch of Life.”
“The four major protectors are codenamed the Southern Vermilion Bird, Northern Xuanwu, Western White Tiger, Eastern Azure Dragon.”
“The Left and Right Envoys, in their roles as Sect Hierarchs, have gathered billions of people, providing the Human Emperor with endless financial, material, and human resources.”
“The four major protectors are rather mysterious, like a Divine Dragon with only its tail seen, even if they appear, they wear masks. They are always close to the Human Emperor, ensuring his safety.”
“In addition, all Seven Emperors have this configuration of Left and Right Envoys and four protectors, differing only in names, for instance, the Buddha Emperor’s four protectors are called the Four Heavenly Kings.”
Upon saying this, the monkey solemnly reminded, “With my strength, I still do not qualify to be a protector under the Ancient Emperor. Imagine how powerful they must be.”
Fang Zhixing quickly understood, yet remained composed and unafraid, calmly stating, “Give me a map, I will now go find the Human Emperor.”
“???”
The monkey’s expression changed repeatedly, seriously saying, “No one knows where the Human Emperor resides. Unless you’re invited by the Human Emperor to a designated location, you simply can’t meet him.”
Fang Zhixing sneered, sinisterly smiling, “If that’s the case, I’ll fight my way there and force the Human Emperor out.”
Hearing this, the monkey felt a chill run down his spine, thinking this person truly was mad.
However…
He did very much want revenge.
“Since you have such confidence in yourself, I will naturally fully support you.”
The monkey spoke no more, took out a ring, and handed it over, solemnly stating, “This ring is an independent device, not connected to the network, so it won’t be monitored. All the information I’ve gathered over the years is inside.”
Fang Zhixing understood, then put on the ring, projecting a three-dimensional map.
The entire Mechanical God Continent was divided into seven sections.
The Human Emperor’s territory was located slightly northwest of the center, coincidentally surrounded by the Six Emperors.
The situation was somewhat similar to Mongolia, sandwiched between China and Russia.
Looking at it this way, the Human Emperor’s situation was indeed quite dire, as if he were a prisoner monitored by the Six Emperors.
The monkey pointed to the map, reminding, “If you go straight for the Human Emperor, Single Blade Straight In, the worst-case scenario would be, you’d be surrounded by the Seven Emperors, attacked from all sides!”
Fang Zhixing scoffed, “No, the Six Emperors and the Human Emperor aren’t allies, not of one mind either.
Once I start fighting the Human Emperor, the Six Emperors will definitely choose to stand by and watch, waiting for me and the Human Emperor to fight it out, then come to pick up the pieces, reaping the benefits.”
The monkey, thinking about it, also sighed, “Back then, Kua Fu likely perished in the same way.”
Soon, a rainbow light streaked across the sky, soaring into the clouds, shooting out of Monkey City like lightning.
“Hey, what’s that?”
“So fast!”
“I saw a seven-colored rainbow light, could it be…”
“Fang Zhixing! The wanted criminal, Fang Zhixing!”
…
The city suddenly became lively, with one flying craft after another quickly taking off.
The seven-colored auspicious cloud moved swiftly like thunder, breaking through the sky at a speed of at least one hundred mach.
Moreover, one hundred mach was not even the limit of the seven-colored auspicious cloud.
Yet, most of those flying crafts could only reach a maximum speed of five mach.
