Chapter 1024 - Obstinate
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
In the Heaven Court, after receiving this news, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming smirked. Instead of asking for the one using the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch, he asked the Division of Sky Surveillance’s personnel, “How many of the Imperial Stars shook when the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch reappeared?”
The god quickly replied, “2,868 of them.”
The slightly stunned Heavenly Monarch Di Ming dozed off for a second and smiled sinisterly, “So.. there are still so many of those antiques alive huh?”
The god shivered at this smile and he softly reported, “There are a lot of new Imperial Stars, likely because there will be a lot of new monarchs in the future and this amount will not be any lesser than the ancient Imperial Stars...”
With a wave, Heavenly Monarch Di Ming interrupted, “The new stars are at most because of the young ones, which is not a big concern to me. The old dogs, however, are a nuisance. When I need them, they won’t even lift a finger, but whenever I want them to remain silent, they would always come out, barging into my affairs! Mu Xiantian is responsible for the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch and the abandoned star. Go and notify him about this matter. Make sure he looks into this matter and let’s see if he still dares to invade my Heaven Court!”
The god shivered under the Heavenly Monarch’s almighty aura, not even daring to speak a single word.
In Xian Tian Palace, a wave of unease was shrouded over Imperial Emperor Xian Tian and his heart thumped, his expression changed when he looked towards the skies.
A crimson red light stream split the skies apart, derailing countless stars.
Someone must have passed the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch or this wouldn’t happen! Only those Fuxi traitors would want to enter the forsaken world and activate this passage.
With a smirk, the Imperial Emperor murmured, “I may be responsible for this forsaken world, but to have me go over to the Heaven Court, isn’t he thinking too naively?”
At the same time, a divine god came reporting in, “My lord, the Division of Sky Surveillance’s men sent word that the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch has revealed itself again and that traitors are starting to stir troubles. They are calling for a meeting with you in the Heaven Court, my lord.”
“Not attending,” rejected Imperial Emperor Xian Tian without hesitation.
“Understood.”
Meanwhile, a Division of Sky Surveillance’s god arrived at Bi Luo Palace, where Mister Bi Luo stood outside, staring right at the crimson red light stream and the god reported, “Mister Bi Luo, Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch...”
“I know, you’re dismissed,” waved Mister Bi Luo.
The mister frowned slightly,?This is the second time the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch emerged again. Back then, we failed to locate the one who entered Zi Wei from the abandoned star but now that the ancient continent is guarded heavily, this person still managed to escape with Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch? Who is this person?
Hold up, if he escaped through Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch, what happened to the Heavenly Wardens there?
His heart thumped and he immediately summoned Heavenly Warden Jia Zi and said, “I would like to meet your master.”
Jia Zi obediently went to report this to his lord and not long later, an odd looking man hid within white robes walked out and said with a female’s voice, “Senior martial brother.”
“Senior martial sister,” greeted back Mister Bi Luo.

Without saying a word anymore, the duo swiftly headed towards the ancient continent and they arrived in no time.
Mister Bi Luo and the Heavenly Prison’s lord searched around, discovered Yi Chou’s body in the process and after arriving at the teleportal, they saw 14 empty jars with ashes in it.
“The Fire Order Era’s fire spirits’ betrayal.”
The Heavenly Prison’s lord said with a sore voice as if there were endless insects glued onto her throat creepily spoke for her, “There aren’t many who could have the fire spirits to betray the ancient agreement.”
Mister Bi Luo nodded, “Indeed. After reaching an agreement with Heaven, the fire spirits must have turned traitor for some unknown reason. But don’t forget that the fire spirits also once made an agreement with the Fuxi Celestial Race, hence, if this mysterious person is a Fuxi, it would explain a lot.”
“Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch emerged once again, this should be handled by both Heavenly Monarch Di Ming and Mu Xiantian. But now that they are on bad terms, they will probably ignore this.”
The Heavenly Prison’s lord fell back into silence and after some time, she suggested, “We could probably catch up with the one who used Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch if we chase after him right now.”
“It’ll be hard, but not impossible. The Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch’s speed is too quick for us but we should still give it a shot.”
Mister Bi Luo sighed, “His timing is very on point. Now that the Zi Wei Galaxy’s powers are all focusing on the war of throne, they have inevitably neglected the situation here, giving that person the opportunity...”
“These fools care about nothing but their own profit!”
The Heavenly Prison’s lord walked away and coldly said, “He will not go anywhere as long as the fire spirits are with him. These ancient spirits made an agreement with Heaven and the contract is right in my prison. No matter where they go, they will not escape from Heaven’s eyes and ears for we are Heaven’s eyes and ears!”
The lord stood right at the entrance of her prison’s entrance, took out the fire spirit contract, summoned Bing Yin, Ding Mao, Wu Chen and said, “Take this contract and the warden drum, enter Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch and bring the traitors to me!”
The three wardens bowed at their lord, each took out a massive drum, carried it behind their back and they jumped down from the prison, entering the ancient continent and Imperial Road.
In the skies, another crimson red light stream split the clouds apart and dashed away quickly.
Mister Bi Luo frowned right away,?The Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch had been sealed for a very long time but it’s been used three times recently. Is Heaven’s reign going to be affected by this? Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch itself is already a forbidden word...
A cold crawled down his spine and Mister Bi Luo shivered, causing him to shake his head vigorously to chase the treasonous thought from his mind.
He was Heaven’s messenger, one that represented Heaven, so how could he doubt the Heaven?
However, a seed had taken root in his heart; Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch, it was the pathway only the Heavenly Monarch could take.
A path that only the ruler of heaven could walk, hence, this path was also a treasonous one to Heaven so anyone who walked on Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch must be eliminated!
The increased in Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch’s appearance frequency had Mister Bi Luo feeling extremely uneasy.
..
Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch.
Zhong Yue looked towards the front and he couldn’t help but be amazed at the “path” he saw!
The portal was to activate the teleportal light stream to move objects somewhere far away without an actual path. All one could see was light, but the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch was very different from ordinary portals.
Now, a path made of light surrounded Zhong Yue, as if Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch was a path opened by a Heavenly Sovereign right into Zi Wei from Celestial Fire Star, creating a short cut right in the endless space!
The ancient ship flew swiftly in the Celestial Fire Star, and in no time, they would fly past the ancient universe, entering the 3,000 Six Paths Worlds and right into the first Six Paths World!
What is in the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch?
The more he tried to figure it out, the more he frowned, Feng Xiaozhong said that the thing hidden here was very useful to him, but the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch had already left Zi Wei and entered the ancient universe. Throughout the way, Zhong Yue saw nothing and this had left him puzzled.
Could it be that I missed it because it was so fast?
Meanwhile, the ancient ship still traveled quickly in the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch, flashing past the skies quickly and disappearing right away.
Suddenly, Zhong Yue felt some tremblings coming from the ancient ship. To his surprise, its speed slowed down, which was impossible in the Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch!
This was a massive portal across dimensions, there was no way this could happen, but it did, right before him.
Slower and slower, it felt like they had entered a muddy area and they found moving to be a difficult task right now.
At the same time, Zhong Yue shook when he saw massive warships within Imperial Road!
These mysterious warships had come from nowhere, each filled with colorful banners and stood majestic celestials.
Ones with human heads and serpent bodies!
They looked like they were in a hurry, passing by Zhong Yue with incredible speed.
But they were all tense and agitated, as if they were heading towards war.
Next, crystal clear warhorns sounded out as a monarch warship sailed out, boarded with only monarchs. Zhong Yue was shocked to see hundreds of monarchs on that ship.
And among them was Dao Venerate Fu Min!
He was just right there, surrounded by monarchs. He who seemingly noticed Zhong Yue was also in surprise.
The monarch warship trembled slightly upon reaching to a halt and Dao Venerate Fu Min was taking a clear look at Zhong Yue.
Just like him, Zhong Yue was also examining Dao Venerate Fu Min. This monarch had grown old, his body and Yuan Shen had been eroded by time and the essence in his body was slowly fading.
This Dao Venerate Fu Min he saw was an old one.
“What is Your Majesty looking at?” smiled one of the monarchs onboard.
“The future.”
Dao Venerate Fu Min’s vision skipped through time and after recovering from his surprise, he smiled, “10,000 years into the future is what I see. A young descendant of mine arrived here and he too, seems to be able to see me. The surprise on his face is very interesting. Heh, now that fate and destiny are all messed up, even a Dao God won’t be able to divine the future. But right here in Imperial Road of Heavenly Monarch, I actually saw a future Fuxi.”
Another monarch laughed, “Your Majesty, you can draw his appearance out and perhaps, the future Fuxi monarchs would be able to look for him with the drawing.”
Dao Venerate Fu Min however, shook his head and rebutted, “I have a lot of respect for the future, I wish not to change it.. Wait, that is interesting...”
The surprise on his face intensified upon seeing Xin Huo who was standing on Zhong Yue’s shoulder and staring right at him.
“Interesting, interesting indeed. I thought he was lost but.. he’s right there.”
The monarchs were all confused but Dao Venerate Fu Min did not explain, “It really is interesting to be able to look into the future. Come, set sail.. No, wait!”
He quickly halted the warship, looked towards the ancient ship with an empty mind as Zhong Yue performed [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture], the art he created!
Dao Venerate Fu Min was in awe; though Zhong Yue’s moves were still rough, not as flexible and practiced as his, the [Fu Min Dao Venerate Heart Sutra Scripture] was still his own art!
Seems like he is trying to tell me something.
Dao Venerate Fu Min thought.
After some time, he saw the young man taking out a bead and he saw his son, the old Fu Shang who was still tied by two galaxies.
“Father, kill!”
Fu Shang knelt to the ground and cried, “Kill me! Only death can free me from my sins!”
Dao Venerate Fu Min startled as he saw Fu Shang, and suddenly, a gentle smile climbed onto his face.
As loud as he shouted, Fu Shang’s voice was unable to travel 10,000 years back and everything he tried to send out was erased by time.
“What did Your Majesty see?” an innate monarch beside Dao Venerate Fu Min laughed.
“Nothing, the future’s image disappeared.”
Dao Venerate Fu Min remained a calm expression as he stared at Zhong Yue and his own son, “The monarchs in ancient universe are on a rampage and their nonsense can only be suppressed by absolute strength or they will become the root to all chaos in the universe.”
