Shocking the Nine Heavens With My Sword-Chapter 636 - 613: One Realm Heavenly Scripture (2/3)

"I have already erased that old man’s consciousness from the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, but your current strength is too weak. To completely integrate the Heavenly Scripture with yourself in a short time is impossible; you need to refine it constantly!" Huo Tian added. freёnovelkiss.com

Zhou Heng was secretly astonished. The Old Blood River Ancestor, despite being a Creation Emperor, seemed to be on the verge of stepping into even more crucial territory according to the awe of Dongguo Heng and others. If he could take that step, he would be able to crush any Creation Emperor!

Perhaps, someone like Huo Tian!

Yet now, to be looked down upon by Huo Tian, referred to dismissively as ’that old man’, and to see the Blood River Heavenly Scripture—refined by the Old Blood River Ancestor for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years—easily taken away and its consciousness erased by her, the disparity seemed too vast.

Could it be that Huo Tian was far more formidable than he had imagined?

But since they both were beings who had touched upon the Heavenly Dao, could the gap really be so vast? Both were cultivators of Heavenly Scripture; surely, the difference couldn’t be that great.

"If you have the opportunity, collect all the Heavenly Scriptures here!" Huo Tian lightly touched the blood-colored whip, which immediately became docile in Zhou Heng’s hands after being unruly before.

"What’s the point?" Zhou Heng asked. He knew Huo Tian would not ask him to do something pointless, but he wanted to know why.

"If you collect all the Heavenly Scriptures of a realm, you can merge them into an even more powerful Heavenly Scripture!" Huo Tian’s memory wasn’t great. Even though she told Zhou Heng to do so, she had to think hard for a while when asked before answering.

Zhou Heng suddenly understood and said, "Is your Yunyun Heavenly Scripture the result of merging all the Heavenly Scriptures of the Immortal Realm?"

If not, how could she suppress the Blood River Heavenly Scripture so easily and consider the Old Blood River Ancestor as nothing?

"Can’t remember!" Huo Tian thought again, but this time she did not provide the answer Zhou Heng needed. She seemed a bit lost, her disguise gone, revealing her enchanting face that could make heaven and earth pale in comparison, a sight that was heartrendingly pitiable.

Zhou Heng extended his arms and drew her into his embrace, saying, "Don’t worry, you will certainly remember everything!"

Huo Tian remained still, leaning into his embrace like a docile kitten, but after a moment, she coldly huffed, "Have you hugged enough?"

"Hehe!" Zhou Heng awkwardly withdrew his hands, but how could he have had enough? He wanted to hold her until the end of the time. No wonder it’s said that a woman’s gentleness is a hero’s grave; being with Huo Tian often made him forget everything.

"I’m guessing your Yunyun Heavenly Scripture is probably formed by merging all the Heavenly Scriptures of the Immortal Realm. But if I were to collect all the Heavenly Scriptures, wouldn’t I be just like you? However, why go through such trouble? Can’t you just directly pass on the Yunyun Heavenly Scripture to me?" This was something only Zhou Heng dared to say: outright asking for the most powerful secret technique.

Huo Tian shook her head and said, "First, Heavenly Scriptures are nurtured by heaven and earth. Once one disappears, heaven and earth will nurture a new one, but it will never be the same as the previous one. Each Heavenly Scripture is unique!"

"Therefore, you will never get a second Yunyun Heavenly Scripture!"

"Second, a true Heavenly Scripture can only be passed on to one person. If you want to learn the Yunyun Heavenly Scripture, you have to kill me first!"

Zhou Heng hastily waved his hands, jokingly replying. Even if learning the Yunyun Heavenly Scripture could make him invincible, he would never do anything to harm Huo Tian. What was his purpose for cultivating? Wasn’t it to protect his loved ones, friends, and family?

"But the Old Blood River Ancestor learned the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, and he hasn’t died; doesn’t that mean I’ve gained this Blood River Heavenly Scripture for nothing?" he questioned, thinking of a problem.

"That old man is far from truly understanding the Blood River Heavenly Scripture. Otherwise, would he have been forced by those seven ants to even bring out the Blood River Heavenly Scripture?" Huo Tian disdainfully replied, her red lips like roses, exuding captivating charm.

"How many Heavenly Scriptures are there in the Immortal Realm?" Zhou Heng inquired.

"Not sure!" Huo Tian thought for a moment, then added, "But nine is the ultimate number; the Heavenly Books of any realm will never exceed nine, but they will also not be less than four!"

"By merging the Heavenly Books of a realm, you can glimpse the true secrets of that realm and become invincible in it!"

"There is a resonance between the Heavenly Books of a realm. When you’re close enough, or when the opportunity comes, you will sense them. It is not like searching for a needle in a haystack!"

Zhou Heng’s heart stirred. Huo Tian truly exemplified what it meant to be invincible. In the Mortal Realm, she had shattered a being suspected to be a Creation King with a rune. In the Immortal Realm, she remained equally domineering, effortlessly taking the Blood River Heavenly Scripture from such top figures as the Old Blood River Ancestor and Dongguo Heng without their knowledge!

If he could reach that level, he would almost be able to traverse the Immortal Realm unopposed!

With such strength, he could surely protect his loved ones, friends, and family!

Seeking Heavenly Scriptures!

Previously, Zhou Heng only had a vague goal to strive for: to become stronger, to at least become a Creation Sovereign and then barge into Juexian City to create an upheaval! However, he had no clue how to proceed before that, no idea at all.

But now, it seemed he had a guiding light!

He would collect all the Heavenly Scriptures of the Immortal Realm!

And, if he truly managed to collect all the Heavenly Scriptures of the Immortal Realm, wouldn’t he possess strength like Huo Tian’s? Wouldn’t they then be a match made in heaven?

"Also, next time you go out, don’t take Meng Fan and the others with you. I have another arrangement to temper them!" Huo Tian suddenly added.

Zhou Heng blinked dryly. Was this Peerless Heavenly Maiden doing this on purpose?

He wasn’t so insatiable that he needed to be accompanied by women every day, but Huo Tian’s words meant that she would not accompany Zhou Heng on his journeys from now on. Instead, she planned to train Ying Mengfan and the others!

"With me by your side, you will never experience true life and death, and some insights can only be realized in the brink of life and death. My presence can indeed ensure your safety, but it will also limit your development!" Huo Tian said earnestly.

Although this made sense, Zhou Heng still seriously doubted that the Peerless Heavenly Maiden was simply scared off by his clumsy advances, and was using this as an excuse to send him away!

Well, if the affection between us were long-lasting, why should it hinge on being together every moment? One day, he would be strong enough to not fear the runes within Huo Tian, and then he would certainly spank her perky buttocks as hard as he could.

Thinking this, Zhou Heng couldn’t help but glance at Huo Tian’s full, round buttocks, the waist and hips forming a perfect curve that made his fingers itch with desire, wishing he could devour this alluring beauty in one bite.

"Scram!"

...

Upon returning to his own room, Zhou Heng’s first order of business wasn’t to study the Blood River Heavenly Scripture, but to refine the Life Essence Qi within the Black Sword, which would slowly dissipate over time.

However, Zhou Heng was disappointed to find that the Life Essence Qi from over a dozen Moonlight Emperors had barely increased his Moon Wheel by one crescent!

He was now an Eleven Wheels Moonlight Emperor, but his eleven Moon Wheels were just starting, and it would take a long time to turn the crescents into full moons.

As a Moonlight Sovereign, a Four Wheels or Five Wheels Moonlight Emperor would allow him to form a complete Half Moon, meaning two Four Wheels or Five Wheels Moonlight Emperors would enable him to form a full moon.

But now as a Moonlight Emperor, more than a dozen Moonlight Emperors could only form one crescent! Indeed, falling short by one realm meant accumulating the required Spiritual Power for each advance was vastly different.

No wonder cultivators, when reaching the limit of each realm, would suppress their power as much as possible, seeking to gain more Moon Wheels before breaking through, for this had an enormously significant meaning!

Forming one Moon Wheel as a Moonlight Sovereign versus forming one as a Moonlight Emperor wasn’t just twice as difficult, but hundreds, even thousands of times more challenging!

Where would he find so many Moonlight Emperors to kill?

Although Zhou Heng was fearless and undaunted, he was not a murderous maniac who could kill at a whim. To follow the old path and accumulate Moon Wheels, he needed to slay at least tens of thousands of Moonlight Emperors!

This path seemed not easy to follow!

Too bad, the gap between Moonlight Emperor and Sunshine King was too great; otherwise, if he could reverse-slay a Sunshine King, reaching Twenty-One Full Moon Wheels would not be so troublesome.

Right!

An idea suddenly struck Zhou Heng, and he took out the Fire Divine Furnace, knocking on its lid.

"Who’s knocking? Who’s so shameless? Can’t you see your Lord is sleeping? Knock again, and I will spew out the Samadhi True Fire and burn you to a crisp!" The Fire Divine Furnace complained loudly when roused from sleep, its temper flaring.

"Is there a Pill suitable for quickly increasing my Cultivation Level at my current stage?" Zhou Heng inquired.

"Why is it you again, you stinky brat?" The Fire Divine Furnace sighed sorrowfully. "Can’t you let your Lord have a good sleep?"

"What’s there for a broken Pill Furnace to sleep?" Zhou Heng retorted, patting the lid.

"I give up on you!" After a moment’s thought, the Fire Divine Furnace said, "You can take the Golden Yuan Pill; each pill is equal to the effort of an ordinary Moonlight Emperor’s year of arduous cultivation, you can consider it as an upgraded version of the Green Brilliance Pill!"

"Good, give me the recipe, and I’ll go buy the ingredients!"

The Fire Divine Furnace, eager to be left in peace, promptly listed off the names of the ingredients, then went back to snoring noisily.

Zhou Heng still had two Moonlight Pills in hand, and after some thought, he decided to take them immediately.

After all, in a year’s time, there would be new Moonlight Lotuses maturing, and from then on... Moonlight Lotuses would never be a worry again!

Currently, the women could only consume one Moonlight Pill per stage, but later, they could eat them like beans, directly forming Eight Wheels, and as long as their comprehension of the realm was in place, breaking through would be like child’s play.

Zhou Heng consumed the two Moonlight Pills one after another, and his Moon Wheel count broke through to Thirteen Wheels in one fell swoop, though the thirteenth Moon Wheel had only begun forming a crescent, a tiny, inconspicuous point.

He unfolded the Blood River Heavenly Scripture and began to study this remarkable Heavenly Book in earnest.

The Heavenly Scripture was initially unwilling to submit to Zhou Heng, but after being "disciplined" by Huo Tian, it became docile, allowing Zhou Heng to study it without any reaction.

Unlike ordinary cultivation techniques, Heavenly Scriptures didn’t comprise any textual Taoist Skill inheritance. Who would have thought, for instance, that a branch like the one Huo Tian possessed could be a carrier of a Heavenly Scripture? Who would believe it was a Treasure Artifact?

The Blood River Heavenly Scripture was no different; outwardly, it appeared like a blood-red strip, but upon closer inspection, one would notice that this strip was actually formed from blood, yet it did not stain the hands.

After taking a deep breath, Zhou Heng entered his consciousness into the blood-colored strip. (To be continued.
