Chapter 540 - Goal: Capture The Sun Spirit
Although I did not go all out against him, neither did he. My full prowess can only be realized once I reclaimed my two incarnations. But I’m not the only one with two incarnations. He has them it. What a terrifying opponent…
Feng Wuji’s face returned to its usual gentle expression. For Zhong Yue to have grown to such a stage in such a short period of time was truly terrifying. Moreover, he wasn’t a simple target to meddle with as well.
His【Skills of Diction】had been cultivated to a strong stage. This was an art he acquired himself, something that not even the Xiao Mang grand ancestor knew about.
However, Zhong Yue will at the end be a huge obstacle. If he catches up to my cultivation base, he will surely come after me. His Long Yue incarnation has even become a True Spirit magnate, which means that he will be breaking through anytime now…
He stood up and walked into the mountain inside the Xiao Mang Supreme Temple. He knelt down respectfully at the Xiao Mang grand ancestor’s body and kowtowed, saying, “Ancestor, I, disciple Xiao Wuji have come to report. I met with a formidable opponent that will one day grow strong enough to bring calamity to the Xiao Mang Celestial Race. Thus, I plead ancestor to send me to the Celestial Earth Star to cultivate. If I grow strong enough, I will repay you with all my life.”
Feng Wuji prayed for moments and suddenly, a wave of arcane energy billowed down from the sky. It turned into a huge hand that grabbed onto him and brought him to the moon.
After Feng Wuji reached the moon, the huge hand opened. Feng Wuji quickly kowtowed to the center of the moon and said, “Please, ancestor, may you send me to the Celestial Earth Star.”
As soon as he finished talking, the huge hand protected him in its palm and disappeared into the endless space.
Feng Wuji was overjoyed, he turned his head back and look at the moon.
A light ray abruptly came from the Ancestral Star and flashed through the dark space, finally settling down on the moon. When the lights faded away, a silhouette was revealed in his vision.
“That is…”
Feng Wuji’s eyes were filled in disbelief, he watched as the silhouette turned into a three-taloned Golden Crow engulfed in blazing fire as it flew toward the sun.
Feng Wuji could tell it was Zhong Yue!
“How … how … did he come out from the Ancestral Star?”
Feng Wuji was utterly bewildered as he stammered. He knelt before the Xiao Mang grand ancestor and prayed, even kowtowing so many times until he lost count of it. It was only after all that when the grand ancestor finally agreed to send him out from the Ancestral Star to the Celestial Earth Star.
Yet, Zhong Yue teleported right out from the Ancestral Star without needing to beg for anyone’s help!
“Hmph, how does kowtowing even matter when it can solve the problems?”
Feng Wuji sneered coldly and eased his strained heart. However, the fact that Zhong Yue was able to leave the Ancestral Star with a teleportation portal still affected his emotions.
“What a terrifying opponent…" After a long time, Feng Wuji couldn’t help but exclaim again.
…
“Is that … Feng Wuji?”
The moment Zhong Yue teleported out from the Ancestral Star, he managed to catch a glimpse of a hand that carried someone into space. He was startled and envious as he thought, This brat must been on his way to the Celestial Earth Star to cultivate. How lucky, to have a god’s spirit send him over, no wonder he wanted to be a dog so much. I have to painstakingly learn how to build a teleportation array formation on my own. Sigh, my divine gold reserves have taken another hit with this.…
He flew toward the sun and thought, I brought Senior Martial Brother Gu Hongzi back to Swords Gate. With him and Elder Shui together, in addition to the insect magnates in Swords Gate and Shi Buyi in the dark, peace can be ensured in the Great Wilderness. If the insect gods survived the falling stars and are on their way toward the Ancestral Star, they will be at least a year away from us. I need to get fully prepared before that happens, no matter what, I need to breakthrough to the True Spirit level!
His speed grew even faster as he traveled for over a month. Soon, the Celestial Gold Star was already in his sight, but the planet was filled with billowing smoke and the raging five elements. The whole place was steeped in chaos and he was unable to find determine Fang Jiange’s location.
After some time of searching, Zhong Yue eventually gave up and used the gravitational field of the Celestial Earth Star to fling himself toward the Celestial Water Star. About ten days later, he arrived outside of the Celestial Water Star. The planet was also in a chaotic state, the five elements were ravaging around the lands and it was truly devastated.
He searched again but couldn’t find Jun Sixie as well. Left with no choice, he could only proceed toward the sun.
On the Celestial Water Star, the sunlight was already blazing with an immense heat that was capable of melting ordinary metal.
Zhong Yue was currently in his Golden Crow form, and he was controlling the sunfire as he flew toward the sun. Not only did the heat not harm him, it even brought him an inexplicable comfort that only grew with the rising temperature.
The Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen was naturally fond of such an inferno, and the hotter it got, the more comfortable it became.
Not only that, but Zhong Yue could also feel his Golden Crow Yuan Shen unwittingly absorb the heat around itself. Although the rate was slow, it was still incredibly beneficial to it.
For another few days, the heat around it grew to a point where metal and even ordinary soul weapons would be vaporized in it.
Zhong Yue continued flying for another half day, he took out a divine gold and watched as it melted into liquid form.
His Great Sun Golden Crow Yuan Shen grew even more happier, it was as it were a stranded fish finally returning to sea. There was a strong urge for it to continue forward, to fly into the core of the sun.
It’s about here already. Although the Golden Crow is the spirit of sun, my mortal body isn’t the real Golden Crow. Going any further will burn my mortal body.
Zhong Yue stopped, he sat down in the lotus position while facing toward the sun. The Great Sun Golden Crow flew out behind him, breathing in the essence of sun and attaining the abstrusities of the huge fireball.

Ever since ancient times, countless living beings worshipped the sun. All of these little spiritual energy that comes from the worship would end up in the sun and over time, the power of worship would transmute into sun spirits. These sun spirits took on a multitude of forms, some of which included the fire dragon, fire phoenix, fire snake, and fire crow - all of these were True Spirits.
And although nearly impossible, there was a slight chance that the sun could nurture and give birth to an innate god over time.
If Qi Practitioners were able to sense and establish a link to any of the sun spirits, they would be able to manifest an exact replica of these True Spirits, forming false spirits.
In order to cultivate the Golden Crow True Spirit, the easiest way would be to go to the sun and understand the formation of the Golden Crow from its place of origin.
It was the same process he had to go through to attain the Golden Crow True Spirit, but doing it beside the sun was countless times faster than doing it on the Ancestral Star!
Zhong Yue sat there motionless as his psyche billowed out toward the sun while his Golden Crow Yuan Shen was attaining its True Spirit form. Meanwhile, he also used the sun’s immense heat and fire to temper his psyche and arcane energy.
Just like that, a month’s worth of time passed by in a flash. And Zhong Yue was overjoyed to find out that his Golden Crow Yuan Shen was transforming into its True Spirit form.
Once the Golden Crow True Spirit is cultivated, Bo Xun will be able to enter the True Spirit level faster than me. I can also merge the two True Spirits to form the Fuxi True Spirit.
During the time spent here, he used the sun to refine himself. Whether it be the psyche or arcane energy, he had seen many improvements, making him satisfied.
All of a sudden, a surge of immense heat burst out from the sun and the fire ocean on the sun’s surface began raging violently. A huge tidal wave rose up and like a tongue that extended out from the huge fireball, it ‘licked’ at Zhong Yue.
Zhong Yue was shocked as the divine gold liquid in front of him suddenly vaporized!
Sh*t! Zhong Yue turned into the three-taloned Golden Crow in panic. He burst out his Tai Chi Inner Core and expanded the Tai Chi Force Field around him to protect himself.
Inside of the Tai Chi Force Field, the surroundings turned red from the heat and the force field was slowly ablating. Zhong Yue’s eyelids throbbed as he grew anxious.
The Tai Chi Force Field was the manifestation of his inner core’s power, and for the force field to be melted away meant that his inner core was melting as well! The fire that was blasted out from the sun was surely not ordinary sunfire!
“The godly fire of the sun! It must be the godly sunfire within the sun’s core!”
Zhong Yue gritted his teeth as he cast out one of Yu Wenju’s Yuan Shen secret realms and hid inside of it while pulling back his inner core.
But even the monster god’s Yuan Shen secret realms couldn’t last in the godly sunfire. Soon, the sky above in the Yuan Shen secret realms started burning away and the godly sunfire seeped into the secret realm.
Zhong Yue took out another one of Yu Wenju’s secret realms and clenched it like a light wheel in his hand. He stared anxiously at the sky and was about to cast it up. He thought, No, it can’t be! Why did the godly sunfire burst out from the sun core? What happened in there?
“Brat Yue!" Xin Huo said, he was thrilled, “This is the sun storm! A sun spirit and the Luminant Sun Gold that burst out from it!”
Note: {Sun storm = solar storm, I figured that naming it according to the modern world term sounds odd cause this is in the ancient age.}
“Luminant Sun Gold?”
Zhong Yue was excited as well, he had a piece of Luminant Sun Gold himself. It was a material that was even harder to acquire than the moon core; it contained an immense force of sunfire in it!
The fact that he was able to cast out sunfire was only because of that Luminant Sun Gold. However, that one piece of Luminant Sun Gold was too small to be crafted into a soul weapon.
“Idiot, there is also the sun spirit!" Xin Huo shouted at him.
“Sun spirit?" Zhong Yue asked curiously, “The sun spirit will come out from the sun? Oh, yes, that is exactly how there will be the Innate Sun Spirit Body. It’s because the sun spirit burst out from the sun storm and enters a living being, right?”
“It’s true that’s how the Innate Sun Spirit comes about, but that’s not what I mean!" Xin Huo said, his voice was filled with alacrity, “I’m saying that we can capture this sun spirit! Although you’ve already manifested the sun spirit, it was from sensing and establishing a link with it. This is different to capturing a sun spirit! If we can capture a sun spirit and refine it, you will gain the Innate Sun Spirit Body as well, a genuine Innate Sun Spirit Body!”
Immediately, Zhong Yue was piqued in interest, capturing the sun spirit that burst out from the sun and truly become the Innate Sun Spirit Body?
The Innate Sun Spirit Body was said to be the strongest innate spirit body ever. If he could really done it, his True Spirit would be even stronger than ordinary!
“How to catch?”
Suddenly, Zhong Yue blinked his eyes, the sunfire outside was too strong. Even the divine gold would be vaporized in an instant, let alone him.
Even if the sun spirits burst out from the sun storm, he wouldn’t be able to capture it either.
Meanwhile, the Yu Wenju’s Yuan Shen secret realm he was in been completely incinerated, Zhong Yue quickly cast out the monster god’s second Yuan Shen secret realm and hid in it. he thought, How to safely capture a sun spirit…
