At the same time, along with the judges and hell officers, the Hell Emperor came rushing out from the Abyss and the two forces merged together but their targets were nowhere in sight anymore.
Their faces darkened down immediately and they felt their faces heat up in anger and embarrassment.
"That guy is with the two fake Hell Overseers!"
"Arrest him!" A judge said as he looked at Tianzheng.
Tianzheng however, remained calm and he took out a token before he said, "What is this?"
The judges smirked upon this and they all mocked, "How dare you try to get over this with just a puny token? Such bravery! Arrest him now! Disember him and banish him into reincarnating as a pig in his next life!"
"Judges, stop your nonsense right away!" A heaven shouted officer after he took a careful look at the token.
He then quickly knelt onto the ground and said respectfully, "Hail the seventeenth son of the Realm Monarch!"
Right away, the armies knelt on the ground, let out a loud noise as their knees touched the ground at the same time and they shouted unitedly, "Hail the seventeenth son of the Realm Monarch!"
"At ease, soldiers. I am the son of the monarch, not the monarch himself. There is no need for such formality. Besides, even the son of the monarch is also a normal being, it's just that my starting point was slightly higher than yours, so please, let us skip the formalities."
He then raised his hand and said, "Gentlemen, at ease. I'm here to inspect, not to show off."
At this point, the Hell Emperor and the judges were shocked that the Realm Monarch actually sent his seventeenth son as the Hell Overseer and they almost mistaken him as one of the culprits that released the prisoners. Now that they think of this, they couldn't feel anything more but to be scared.
On the other hand, Tianzheng looked at the direction where Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er disappeared and he thought, The secrets of heaven must not be spoken…. Our paths will cross again one day.
He then continued thinking, Chang Tianji, thanks to you, I finally managed to retrieve my own Book of Life and Death. It is not easy to be the child of the monarch, especially when my power is still far too weak compared to my brothers and sisters. If they backstabbed me, god knows what would happen to me… But now.. Because of you, I can now control my own fate. It's just a shame that I couldn't get a chance to get your name….
Meanwhile in Bi An Precipice, Bi and An, Shi Buyi, Bai Canghai, Jun Sixie and Old Man Six Paths gathered around the body of Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er, safeguarding their body.
Zhong Yue's and Qiu Jin'er's body were still emitting immense life force even despite though their soul not being in their body. Suddenly, Zhong Yue and Qiu Jin'er opened their eyes, looked around and Qiu Jin'er thanked everyone, "Did everyone stay here for so long? You guys guarded us for half a year without leaving at all?"
"What half a year?" said Shi Buyi shockingly, "Both of you had only been gone for half a day. You entered the hell cycle at late noon and it's only daybreak now."
"The time in hell and the time in reality is extremely different. A year in Hell is only a day in reality." explained Bi and An, "So, only half a day has passed after you spent half a year in hell. Junior martial brother Zhong, did you manage to release the person I spoke of?"
Zhong Yue nodded and said, "I did but instead of following us back here, he left this Six Path World straight away."
Bi and An however, did not bother much. They clapped and said happily, "Everything is good as long as he is released. Wherever he goes is not of concern. Thank you, Junior Martial Brother Zhong and Junior Martial Sister Qiu."
Bai Canghai quickly asked, "Did you guys alter the Book of Life and Death?"
Jun Sixie, Old Man Six Paths and Shi Buyi immediately tensed up, they looked at Zhong Yue nervously and everyone celebrated happily when they saw Zhong Yue nodded his head. Zhong Yue then shared with them what he had gone through in Hell and everyone couldn't help but to laugh.
When Zhong Yue talked about the real Hell Overseer, Tianzheng and how he altered the Book of Life and Death and how he let them go so easily in the end, everyone was in shock and they all made their own guesses about Tianzheng's true identity.
"He must be a very big person or he wouldn't be qualified to be appointed as the hell inspector."
Jun Sixie said, "But why did he cut away his own Book of Life and Death?"
The gods saved by Creator He Lan would eventually become a great help in the future for Zhong Yue. But Zhong Yue did not dwell into this matter for a lot of things were involved. Thus, Zhong Yue opted keep this a secret to him and himself only.
Though Qiu Jin'er followed Zhong Yue into Hell and went through the same thing, whatever Creator He Lan told Zhong Yue was entirely through psyche, which bypassed her completely.
This was all because that the more they knew, the more dangerous they would be; Creator He Lan once said that what lied ahead at Zhong Yue's path as a FuxI was many times harder than his.
"Congratulations, you have both returned unharmed and altered the Book of Life and Death, this is a very nice thing!."
An said, "After a few more days, Emerald Heaven Dharma King will be summoning us; you killed her son and the incident where Junior Martial Brother Zhong beheaded the Reverse Emperor should have spread through the entire Prison Realm. We brothers have our own humble influence in this realm and with our help, the Realm Lord should have heard about this by now, and with that, Emerald Heaven Dharma King will not do anything recklessly. This means that when she summons you, there will not be any lethal dangers. But in the future, they're bound to be more dangers waiting for you ahead."
Bi then added, "You must watch out for one thing; the battles in the future will be tougher but the next one will be the competition among everyone in the Prison Realm where talented and powerful experts are abundant!"
"In the Prison Realm, the Left Fang Galaxy is only one of the mid-tier faction and there are a few hundred thousand of them that are on the same level as this galaxy!"
"Among these galaxies, there are even more strong individuals like us brothers and there are even more talented ones like Li Tianxing!"
Zhong Yue let out a long breath as after he settled the problem of his identity in this world, he is considered as one of them and he will no longer be worried about being killed by the likes of Emerald Heaven Dharma King.
And in the battle between those in his generation, be it the reincarnated gods or talents like Li Tianxing, Zhong Yue was confident that he will be able to triumph over them!
"One more thing." said Bi to Jun Sixie, "You have yet to awaken your innate true spirit so I do not recommend you to participate in the next battle but for Junior Martial Sister Qiu, I think you would be able to participate!"
Zhong Yue too, looked Jun Sixie and through psyche, he said, "Senior martial sister, the battle in the competition is too dangerous for you. It is better this way, after all, we are not natives in this world and although I have altered the Book of Life and Death, we are still fakes…."
Jun Sixie looked at Qiu Jin'er, shook her head and said proudly, "If Junior Martial Sister Qiu can take part in this competition then why can't I? I am eager to find out the gap between these strong participants from the other worlds and mine!"
She then said again, "I am confident that I am not any weaker than them after I completed everything I lack!"
Since when was the proud Jun Sixie afraid of something? Since when did she admit that she was inferior to the others?
Zhong Yue frowned slightly at Jun Sixie's attitude of wanting to be stronger than anyone; if he insisted on advising her to give up, she might get angry at him and this will affect her confidence as well.
But if she took part in the competition, she was bound to face grave danger!
Unlike Qiu Jin'er who had awoken her Innate True Spirit, being granted with immense power that could allow her to go toe-to-toe with the gods, Jun Sixie was still not as strong as Qiu Jin'er even after rectifying her flaws from the Ancestral Star cultivation system. She was still at the demigod level and there was still somewhat of a gap between her strength to that of Bi and An.
"I guess I will not take part in the competition."
Bai Canghai quickly said with an awkward laugh, "My capabilities are not as good as yours so I figure I should just stay behind."
Zhong Yue nodded and replied, "But you will still have to come with us upon the summoning of Emerald Heaven Dharma King."
"Of course." replied Bai Canghai proudly, "I still want to travel around, meet with different individuals and if I'm lucky, I might be able to come across an Innate Curse Body expert to learn from!"
And just like Bi and An said, news came from the Left Fang Galaxy a few days later, summoning every winner in the battles to the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace to heed the orders of Emerald Heaven Dharma King.
They then all started moving and through teleportation, they passed one galaxy after another and to soon arrive at Emerald Heaven Starry Palace after a few days.
"Once we arrive at Emerald Heaven Starry Palace, we will not be able to provide any help anymore if you encountered any danger."
As soon as they touched the ground, Bi and An looked at each other and they said together, "Junior Martial Brother Zhong, our friendships end here! We are now clear from each other's' debts; you helped me saved the person we wanted to save and we altered the Book of Life and Death as per your request."
Zhong Yue bowed at them and thanked, "Anyhow, thank you for your help."
"You're welcomed." replied the brothers before they left.
Then, Zhong Yue brought along Jun Sixie, Qiu Jin'er and the others as he headed towards Emerald Heaven Starry Palace.
Far away, Bi and An looked at the back of Zhong Yue and suddenly, Bi said, "Not close and not too distance."
An nodded and they both said, "Neither strangers nor friends. Our help to him must end here and we must not get too close with him or once his secrets are exposed, we will be dragged into this mess too. We however, could provide help to him secretly since we are after all, distant relatives."
They looked into each other's eyes again and they entered Emerald Heaven Starry Palace after giving each other a smile.
The Emerald Heaven Starry Palace was grand; it was made entirely from a planet and strengthened the earth surface and planet core with the godly metals. When looked at it far away, the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace appeared like a gigantic mansion circling around the sun.
But when compared to the Bi An Precipice of Bi and An, the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace was still much inferior; it's Dao was not as advanced and the spiritual energy was not as abundant as the Bi An Precipice.
With that said, the Emerald Heaven Starry Palace was still a very great place; it far surpassed the other places and it was still a very rare ideal place for cultivation.
"Junior Martial Brother Zhong, I will not be weaker than any of these Qi Practitioners here!" Jun Sixie suddenly said when she looked around curiously.
