Dominating Martial King

Chapter 2004: Chapter 653: Doubts

The entry note for Simulating Divine Yin required two hundred Wish Stones.

But in truth, the price marked beneath the chart had already been reduced to seventy.

This was because in Chu Xisheng’s Chaos, Ruyi, and Imitating Heaven Skill, he had already reached some small attainment, lessening the consumption for Simulating Divine Yin.

Of course, even if it were two hundred, it would still be no problem.

Chu Xisheng currently had over forty thousand Wish Stones, so he no longer cared about such a small amount.

What plunged him into contemplation was: whose will lay behind this product icon of Simulating Divine Yin? Chu Fengge? The Artifact Spirit of his Lifebound Divine Artifacts? The East Emperor?

Or perhaps Chu Fengge? Was it Zhi Sou? Or even the Master of Thousands of Deceptions?

Regarding Chu Fengge and Zhi Sou, Chu Xisheng still had many doubts.

Could the Inverting Yin and Yang accomplished solely by Chu Fengge’s hand truly have been done by his strength alone?

The higher Chu Xisheng’s cultivation rose, the more incredible this matter seemed to him.

Chu Fengge was indeed of peerless talent; he was the only one Chu Xisheng had ever been certain could match the Dominating Martial King in natural endowment.

He also had the help of the "Iron Crown Wanderer" Mu Liu Fan, and the financial backing of the entire Chu family.

Yet their opponent had been Zhe Dragon, whose attainments in Magic were extremely high!

What kind of final backhand had Chu Fengge left before his death?

He had sought to play against All Gods; where exactly in this heaven and earth had he placed that chess piece?

The testament Chu Fengge had left behind was incomplete; much of the writing had been naturally corroded by the Divine Power of the Gods diffusing throughout heaven and earth, making it difficult to distinguish.

Chu Xisheng had originally thought that this "chess piece" of Chu Fengge’s was the Lifebound Divine Artifacts he had left to him.

Yet starting from a year ago, Chu Xisheng had begun to doubt this.

He had thought he could learn the details from Zhi Sou.

When Chu Fengge used Inverting Yin and Yang, Zhi Sou must have been involved.

This oldest schemer of the Human Clan might have known something; however, in that great battle four days ago, Zhi Sou had been slain by the Master of Thousands of Deceptions.

His Death also meant that many questions would never again have answers.

Chu Xisheng had already asked Lu Luanti; apart from a single "Daluo Divine Mirror," Zhi Sou had not left behind a single word.

Chu Xisheng wondered: did he truly not know? Did he refuse to speak? Or did he fear that if he spoke, his meaning would be altered by others?

He had not forgotten that the Sovereign of Chan Sect was still in the hands of the "Master of Thousands of Deceptions."

This Master of Thousands of Deceptions seemed, whether intentionally or not, to be promoting Emperor Jianyuan’s Yin Yang Unity—what was his true purpose?

Chu Xisheng pondered in silence for a long time, until Li Tan’s gaze grew even more doubtful, and only then did he give a soft laugh: "Divine Master, be not concerned. I already have a plan for this matter. Once I return to the Mortal World, I will set to work and strive to unseal Empress Diwa as soon as possible."

He met Li Tan’s eyes with a serious expression: "This is also one of the conditions I agreed upon with the Stone God."

At these words, Li Tan felt relieved.

He knew that Chu Xisheng had made a deal with the Stone God, but did not know the specific contents of their transaction.

"There is no need to rush either."

Li Tan shook his head, warning in a Concentrating tone: "The more anxious we are, the more likely we are to err. Our opponents are not only those Ancestor Gods, but also powerful Innate Chaotic Gods such as the Master of Thousands of Deceptions and the Thunder God. This matter still requires cautious planning; we must not act rashly."

What the few of them spoke of next was all proper business.

Chu Xisheng gave instructions face-to-face, and Si Huangquan and Li Tan listened in Concentrating silence.

The Divine Gold Tripod and the others had already withdrawn early on.

They had no choice.

The power of the Ancestor Gods led by She Yuan and that of the Master of Thousands of Deceptions was simply too great.

Though they had mastered many methods of long-distance transmission, none could be relied upon.

These methods were fine in ordinary times, but at critical moments they were not very secure.

Some key information had to be explained clearly in person.

The reason the Human Clan had been able to win that great battle four days ago was precisely because, beforehand, no one had known the full scope of Chu Xisheng’s plans; combined with the Sky Covering Technique of the Three Generation of Saint Emperor, which helped shroud everything, only thus had they managed to deceive the Ancestor Gods and Shen Bore.

However, the current situation was, after all, no longer as precarious as before.

Just as the Gods could sever and block communication between the Gods of the Human Clan, the Human Clan could likewise implement countermeasures.

The Heavenly Cutting Technique of the Wood Sword Immortal could now follow the starlight that shone across heaven and earth with him, applying itself to any location in the world, severing every form of information exchange.

Half a day after this secret council, under the gaze of All Gods, Chu Xisheng and Lu Luanti stepped into the Void fissure that led back to the Mortal World.

This fissure had been personally opened by Li Tan; Ween Suyi’s sword guarded it, and Si Huangquan’s Divine Power Suppressed it, ensuring that no accidents would occur.

Yet Si Huangquan’s gaze was somewhat listless.

She had in fact harbored a faint expectation for today’s meeting, yet from beginning to end Chu Xisheng had spoken only of official matters.

Si Huangquan also knew that her own emotions were not quite right.

She knew that Chu Xisheng regarded her as a close friend and brother—at most, a comrade bound by life and death, with no other intentions.

The one who harbored intentions was Si Huangquan herself.

Si Huangquan could not forget how Chu Xisheng had stood before the Stone Hall when she was at her most fragile, single-handedly opposing several Avatars of the Gods and the Southern Pole Star Lord; nor could she forget Chu Xisheng’s bearing as he turned the tide in a desperate situation, flipping his hand to summon clouds.

She knew that the reason Chu Xisheng had risked his life to accompany a gentleman, entering the Outer Domain together with her, was not entirely for her sake.

It was their shared comradeship, the survival of the Human Clan, the national fate of Dalv—various factors intertwined into one.

Yet those scenes, one after another, had already been carved deep into her soul.

Watching Chu Xisheng step into the Void fissure and his figure vanish from sight, Si Huangquan could not help but touch the mask on her face.

She had in fact already recovered her own face and had wanted to show it to Chu Xisheng.
