Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1003: Upper-tier Heaven Monarch

Jiang Yi’s intuition had always been sharp. He felt that Mo Shen saw through his Mirage Divine Ability. However, it didn’t sound like that from the way he talked. If he saw through his disguise—logically, he would act or kill him immediately. Even if he didn’t, he would investigate secretly. Instead, he praised him in front of the crowd right now and promised to bestow him with the position of Battle Hall Deputy Elder once he reached the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch realm.

Most importantly, he agreed to marry Mo Yao’er to him if Jiang Yi could attain the Demigod Realm, which indicated his high regard towards Jiang Yi. Mo Shen didn’t have any son and had only one precious daughter. Whoever married his daughter would become his successor—the next Heaven Devil Sect Patriarch!

Looks of mixed feelings around Jiang Yi gave him a headache. Mo Shen was placing him in a very dangerous place. In the past, Mo Xing never appeared to have any special talent and raised up like a new star right now. Anyone would experience complicated feelings, instinctively ostracize, and have ill feelings towards him.

“Everyone, leave now. You are forbidden to go out during this time. Don’t start another fight with the Dwarf Race.”

Mo Shen went back to the Heaven Devil Palace after giving the command. Mo Yao’er gave Jiang Yi a loving stare and followed Mo Shen, blushing. Jiang Yi touched his nose awkwardly and left for his castle under countless jealous looks.

“Have Mo Shen seen through my disguise?”

After sitting in the castle for half a day, Jiang Yi still couldn’t be certain. Then, he decided to let go of the matter. Anyway, Mo Shen had yet to take any action so far. It seemed like Mo Shen was not going to do anything to him in a short time. Therefore, Jiang Yi was not going to care about it and cultivate first.

His essence force realm was too low. Even though he comprehended a lot of powerful dao patterns and divine skills, he couldn’t release them without a mighty essence force. For example, if his essence force had reached the peak stage of Heaven Monarch Realm, his Icebound Thousand Miles would be able to seal any ordinary Four-Star martial expert in ice for at least 15 seconds, unless they had cultivated any special dao pattern.

“Seclusion!”

Jiang Yi entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and began to cultivate in full flow. The speed of cultivation in this place was 2,500 times faster than the outside. He couldn’t waste such good opportunities.

Still, Jiang Yi was careful and paid attention to his surroundings all the time. Once powerful divine senses swept across, he would stop the cultivation immediately. Even though the restrictions were powerful in this place, Mo Shen’s divine senses were able to peep in very easily just now.

To his relief, after a whole month, Mo Shen had not checked on him, not even once. Jiang Yi wasn’t sure whether the rest of the Elders either had too weak a divine sense or they were simply not bothered to do so. There had not been any divine senses so far.

The Heaven Devil Mountain had been quiet recently. Mo Shen had given the order; people barely went out. Even if someone did, they would just walk around the surroundings. No one had any conflict with other races.

…

One could feel the fleeing time in cultivation. In a blink of an eye, eight months passed.

The Heaven Devil Mountain became lively again. Countless Heaven Devil Race men resumed their old lifestyle. They went out to hunt for ice beasts and ice imps from time to time. However, those who went out were able to restrain themselves. Despite the occasional encounters with the Dwarf Race and Mammoth Race, fights seldom broke out. Even if there was small-scale discord, it was limited to a few people. There were no large-scale battles.

In eight months, Mo Yao’er had come to Jiang Yi over a dozen times, which tired him out. He couldn’t offend this distinguished young lady and had to go along with her. Luckily, Mo Yao’er was sensible enough not to disturb him excessively. Jiang Yi’s diligence had an impact on her as well. She, who never liked cultivation, began to stay in seclusion from time to time.

“Hoo… my essence force is finally at the seventh stage of the Heaven Monarch. If I keep going at this speed, it will probably take less than a year for my sixth star sphere to mutate. By then, my essence force will reach the peak stage of Heaven Monarch.”

Jiang Yi stopped cultivating and was going to take a break. Apart from the time to deal with Mo Yao’er and casual short naps when he was absolutely unable to continue the cultivation, he spent the rest of the time cultivating. At 2500-times speed, his essence force increased by leaps and bounds. He managed to ascend three levels and become an upper-tier Heaven Monarch.

“I’ll rest for one day before continuing with cultivation!”

As Jiang Yi just made up his mind, the restrictions in the room lit up again. He turned off the restrictions and extended his divine senses. An unpleasant look flickered across his face; Mo Yao’er was here again.

He had no choice but to stand up and walk out. He was expressionless. There was no way to tell whether he was happy or angry. The moment he left the room, Mo Yao’er’s eyes sparkled. A trace of happiness flashed by her lips as she walked to him briskly, held his hand, and was going to go outside.

Jiang Yi’s face darkened. He didn’t move and coldly said, “Sacred Lady, if you have something to say, say it. Don’t touch me; it has a bad influence.”

Mo Yao’er seemed to get used to Jiang Yi’s indifference. She giggled and said, “Let’s go, Mo Xing. Go out with me. Sect Patriarch Cao is celebrating his birthday in half a month. All sects, including the Heaven Hidden Sect, will send envoys to congratulate him. Father asks me to do it. How can you, the Deputy Elder of the Battle Hall, not go?”

“The Heaven Hidden Sect is sending people, too?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes brightened. Su Ruoxue was in the Heaven Hidden Sect. He was especially interested in this mysterious sect and, of course, in the Sect Patriarch Cao of the Tiger Subdue Sect which ranked second in the entire Snow Region. He paused before saying, “When will we return? How many people are going this time?”

Mo Yao’er explained: “It will take at most one month. There are not a lot of people going. Everyone will ride Fei Lian Beasts. They will be at least commanders. There will be about 50 men in total.”

“Very well then.”

One month was not a long time. Jiang Yi had been cultivating for eight months and could use a good break. Without him around to protect Mo Yao’er, Mo Shen would probably be worried. In his presence, no matter how many enemies came, they would all go back empty-handed.

They walked out of the castle. Fifty men were already waiting outside for orders. Mo Qi and Mo Wu were there, too. They were all on Fei Lian Beasts. Mo Yao’er flew up and landed on a snowy Fei Lian Beast. Pointing at a black Fei Lian Beast on her side, she shouted, “Mo Xing, get up quickly. We’re leaving.”

Swish!

Jiang Yi stepped on one leg and flew to the Fei Lian Beast, which was never ridden by Jiang Yi before and shook slightly. It glanced at Jiang Yi coldly, slightly unhappy.

“Hmph!”

Jiang Yi boosted his aura and surrounded the Fei Lian Beast with the pressure of an upper-tier Heaven Monarch. It instantly quieted down. Mo Qi, Mo Fu, and the rest were astonished as Jiang Yi had an aura of a fourth stage Heaven Monarch just eight months ago. However, he was at the seventh stage right now. They were all secretly amazed by the speed of his cultivation.

“Go!”

Mo Yao’er was not a patient person. She was already weary of being confined in the Heaven Devil Mountain for eight months. She patted the Fei Lian Beast like an unbridled wild horse before turning into a flash of white light, shooting down the Heaven Devil Mountain.

Swish!

Jiang Yi quickly caught up. Mo Fu, Mo Qi, and the rest had to swallow their surprise and follow up quickly. Over 50 Fei Lian Beasts turned into flashes of light and soon disappeared into the distance.

After everyone was gone, a sturdy figure suddenly appeared outside the Heaven Devil Palace. Mo Shen stared at the direction that Jiang Yi and the rest went, smiled, and nodded. “Seventh stage of the Heaven Monarch realm? Interesting…”
