Chapter 495: Wielding The Ten Thousand Sages, The Great Mings Heavenly Might

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very firm and unwavering. Seeing Chen Mo had already completed the eight steles and was missing just the last one, without even thinking, she did not hesitate to sacrifice the True Spirit of the person closest to her.

The Bowen woman did not hesitate either. She sealed her own indestructible Star General True Spirit into the eighth stele.

Having obtained a sage's Star Energy, the Ten Thousand Sages Hall began to emit a noise that shook the entire world.

Zhu Yuanzhang's figure warped, similarly arriving at the center of the Ten Thousand Sages Hall.

The ninth stele was like an upright sword.

"Do you still wish to achieve Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered. Seeing Chen Mo's grave appearance, she truly felt she saw the biggest laughstock of her entire life. A cultivator who did not even have a Star Name desired the Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout. This was truly ludicrous. Even a sage would be an object of ridicule.

"It would be a real misfortune if someone like you, who kills sages like a fucking demon king, can achieve the Simultaneous Shout." Chen Mo coldly shot back.

Zhu Yuanzhang cackled, showing an expression that mocked the "Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout" to the extreme: "Today, I want you to see the sages dance in the palm of my hand!!" The Sun And Moon True Dragon roared, and scant Purple Rose Qi swelled.

Chen Mo was stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved her hands, and her sun and moon pupils shot out two books.

These books were like gemstones, bright and clear. The treasure books had many unbelievable markings. These markings were like the leylines of Heaven and Earth, establishing Star World's most original wisdom. Just a glance made people realize this book's worth was already immeasurable.

"The Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams!!!"1

Su Mian looked at the two books that Zhu Yuanzhang summoned, and the color immediately drained from Dream In A Millennium's face.

"Hetu and Luoshu!!"

"What, those are actually the Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams!"

The Ten Thousand Sages Hall quaked. All of the spiritual power Star Generals, including first-rate ones like Wang Anshi, sensed an irresistible divine force emerge from the book, as if the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens had descended, supremely awe-inspiring.

The Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams were the source of Star World's spiritual energy. Legend said these books possessed the most original Star Energy that spiritual power Star Generals could have to compare to the Xuannü of the Nine Heavens' Heavenly Books. They were Star World's most powerful Purple Rose treasures.

However, legend said that the Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams were sealed in a galaxy somewhere in the nine thousand Star Fields, in accordance with the "Supreme Ultimate, Bagua, Book of Changes, Six Cycles, Nine Stars, and fengshui." It was practically unfindable, and the rumor was that only those who fully grasped the past and future were able to obtain it. However, even "Myriad Stars Spreading Image" Yuan Tiangang was unable to deduce the Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams' mystery.

"Su Mian, do not think that you are the only one with a person like Yuan Tiangang, who is adept at calculating heavenly mysteries. ‘Divine Son Of Heavenly Mystery' Liu Bowen had already helped me obtain the Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams a century ago. Today, the Ten Thousand Sages Hall is mine. With it, I have no need to fear your Central Star Field!!"

Chen Mo was too late to write his article. Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.

The Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams hovered above the ninth stele.

The pages of the books opened, and row after row of script appeared. Principle of the left swirl! Principle of forms! Principle of the Five Elements! Principle of Yin and Yang! Principle of Earlier Heaven! Principle of the Ten Thousand Sages! Principle of Qian and Kun! Principle of the Nine Palaces!

Eight pinnacles of spiritual power suddenly became rays that linked the eight sage steles, surprisingly manifesting the Bagua.

Chen Mo finally understood why he had that strange sensation practicing this Bagua between the steles. The eight steles secretly corresponded with the ancient Bagua, treating it as the beginning. The Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams' appearance made these Bagua steles completely awaken. The Star Energy unleashed by countless Star Generals gathered on these Bagua Steles, and in using it, became power.

The entire Ten Thousand Sages Hall rumbled, and it was surprisingly about to fly.

"The Yellow River leaves the diagram, the Luo Rivers leaves the diagram, the sages follow them!! The Ten Thousand Sages Hall is mine!!" An earthquake rocked Qu Yuan City, and the Ten Thousand Sages Hall lifted up off the ground little by little.

Everyone was dumbstruck.

"Heavens, Zhu Yuanzhang actually…She actually revived the Ten Thousand Sages Hall." Su Wanyang was already incapable of believing her eyes.

As expected of Star World's strongest and ruthless Star Marquis. What did the Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout amount to?

Her goal as the Sun And Moon True Dragon was to wield the Ten Thousand Sages!

Just at this moment, the ninth stele cracked, and an enormous azure shadow soared, breaking through layers of space, as if awakening from a ten thousand year slumber. That azure shadow was like a serpent, but with a qilin's head, a fish's tail, and its face had long whiskers along with deer-like antlers. It had five claws and appeared quite formidable. Its entire body had fish scale armor like jadeite, glittering and glowing. Each plate was filled with ancient wisdom.

Its appearance was that of a dragon, but it was completely unlike one. It seemed like that ancient Torch Dragon, just even more noble.

Long was its body, shiny were its talons.

With just its emergence, the entire world fell quiet.

This was none other than the one of Four Symbols that presided over the East, the "Azure Dragon."

Everyone's mouths hung agape. Everything that happened now at the Ten Thousand Sages Hall thoroughly overturned their imaginations.

"I safeguard the aspirations of the temple, who dares make a disturbance!"

The Azure Dragon spoke in human tongue. It was like a sage itself, each word filled with ancient, divine might. The Azure Dragon eyed Chen Mo. It sensed the presence of the other Four Symbols in his body.

This made it feel a bit nostalgic.

"The insignificant Azure Dragon dares to be impudent before a True Dragon." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered. So what if it was the Ten Thousand Year Azure Dragon. When Qilin Martial Emperor Liu Hongyu could treat the White Tiger as a mere beast, she basically did not hold the Azure Dragon in high regard.

She even accounted for this long ago.

The Azure Dragon turned its head and stared at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The Ten Thousand Sages Hall just so happens to require your Meng Zhang Star Mansion, you who presides over eastern sages. I will use you to complete my aspiration to dominate the Ten Thousand Sages Hall." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was cold and detached. The Star Energy of the True Spirit also reached its peak. The Sun and Moon Dragons soared and slammed into the Four Symbols Azure Dragon.

The Four Symbols Azure Dragon's seven Meng Zhang star-lights glowed with light like the sun and moon.

The seven star-lights shot towards the Sun and Moon Dragons, entangling them.

Zhu Yuanzhang arrived above the Azure Dragon with a single step and looked disdainfully at this Holy Beast. Her palm-shadow descended, and Purple Rose Star Energy endlessly detonated against the dragon's scales. But a vast and ancient qi dispelled the Purple Rose Qi.

"The Ten Thousand Sages Hall accepts the aspirations of those very sages, and I accept from it shelter. Give up." The Azure Dragon spoke and spat a beam of clear light. 

Zhu Yuanzhang swatted it aside with her palm.

Then, her figure became several tens of thousands of shadows that fell upon the Azure Dragon, pounding it like a downpour. The concentrated qi of ten thousand years of sages blocked all of Zhu Yuanzhang's attacks. The aspirations of ten thousand sages could only be broken by one with the will of a sage.

"I will make you witness the might of my ‘Great Ming!!'"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened. The sun and moon once again flew out, becoming the two ancient celestial bodies of yin and yang in front of her. Zhu Yuanzhang had obtained the Writings of the Huainan Masters and at last already cultivated the Sun And Moon True Qi to perfection.

The writings involved being large and being radiant.

Zhu Yuanzhang also blended this book's contents into her own Realm, merging the sun and moon, perfecting the Great Ming.2

The sun and moon combined, and their radiance became blinding. No one was able to look directly at it, for their eyes stung with searing pain. Even Su Mian could only use Purple Rose True Qi to block it. "What is this…" The girl had never seen such powerful energy that it was near limitless and boundless in brilliance.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's Writings of the Huainan Masters had been obtained not long ago. Without truly cultivating it to perfection, everyone very quickly acclimated. But even so, Zhu Yuanzhang's sun and moon fusion gave everyone the sense of something boundlessly powerful.

"Henceforth, Star World is in the Great Ming!! Mine is a Star Name that surpasses the Primordial! ‘Expel the ten thousand stars, restore the sun and moon' is the path of the Great Ming!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang roared.

The power of "Ming" covered the Azure Dragon. This Great Ming's way that was the Principle of the Sage made even the Ten Thousand Sages' aura moan.

The Azure Dragon cried. It writhed in pain in the air, but no matter what it did, the powerful "Ming" energy was like a cage and shackles that trapped the Azure Dragon.

Watching the Four Symbols Holy Beast Azure Dragon's howling figure, everyone's hair stood on end, and they broke out into a cold sweat.

This time, Su Mian could not sit by any longer. No matter what, she could not allow Zhu Yuanzhang to kill the Azure Dragon and obtain the Ten Thousand Sages Hall. Dream In A Millennium took flight, the Seventy-two outer Void Flying Immortals Swords seemingly descending from the Nine Firmaments upon the Ten Thousand Sages Hall.

But the Ten Thousand Sages Hall's power was still impenetrable.

"Chen Mo, hurry and stop Zhu Yuanzhang from killing the Azure Dragon!!" Su Mian urgently called from the outside.

"How am I supposed to stop her?" Chen Mo's expression changed. His Heaven Rank was unable to even scratch Zhu Yuanzhang, and the Five Emperors Seal was used against the Nine Songs. He was completely out of options right now. No one could have imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang's tricks were endless. Not only did she obtain the Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams to control the Ten Thousand Sages Hall, she even comprehended the power of the "Great Ming" to kill a Holy Beast.

Right now, Chen Mo was basically unable to even approach Zhu Yuanzhang. Her "Ming" was simply like an ordinary person standing on the surface of the sun and suffering several tens of thousands of degrees, maybe even several billion degrees, of heat.

Before he could even get close, his Primordial Spirit would be completely destroyed.

Zhu Yuanzhang was using the full power of "Ming" to face the Azure Dragon. So long as she killed the Azure Dragon, that Ten Thousand Sages Hall would be completed.

"Chen Mo, the Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout." Su Wanyang hollered.

Chen Mo looked at that cracked ninth stele below the Azure Dragon. He noticed that the other eight steles' aspiration energy were linked to this ninth. Although they were not as powerful as Zhu Yuanzhang's Hetu and Luoshu Diagrams, there was still currently a chance to achieve the Hundred Sages Simultaneously Shout. Perhaps even the sages wanted to stop her.

Chen Mo stepped in front of the ninth stele and used all of his Star Energy. His finger was like a sword, and he wanted to use it write. But his finger was unable to budge. At such a close distance, the power of "Ming" squeezed his body. Chen Mo's finger was unable to move in the slightest, and his thoughts were completely restrained inside his body. He was unable to write even one word. 

Zhu Yuanzhang's "Great Ming" Realm was already leaving the sages awestruck. As Chen Mo's Realm was unable to break through his shackles, any high aims and assertive language became extremely pale and powerless.

Zhu Yuanzhang focused all of her attention on suppressing the Four Symbols Azure Dragon. Just a little more, and her Great Ming cultivation would be complete. Right now, she could not maintain this for too long. She needed to seize the chance while Su Mian was unable to breach into the Ten Thousand Sages Hall to slay the Azure Dragon. This way, she could wield the Ten Thousand Sages. As for Chen Mo, Zhu Yuanzhang fundamentally did not believe a Star Warrior could hinder her.

"Azure Dragon, submit to me like a sage." Zhu Yuanzhang waved her hand. The "Great Ming" squeezed the Azure Dragon, whose jadeite dragon scales began to crack. The Azure Dragon let out a wretched scream, struggling to free itself to no avail.

Chen Mo forcibly circulated the Black Turtle and White Tiger's powers, finally barely breaking through the restraints. He wrote on the ninth stele. "A magnificent scene of the north, a thousand li locked in ice, ten thousand li of whirling snow…" But the handwriting was distorted, their form and intent flimsy and powerless, completely lacking any grandeur.

How could characters like these receive the simultaneous shout of the Hundred Sages.

Although Chen Mo wanted to write a poem of such power it could astound Star World, his mind was being suppressed by the Great Ming and was starting to be unable to exercise into a poetry Realm. This kind of poetry could only be considered a copy, material without spirit.

Oh, shit.

Chen Mo's heart sank. He was already powerless to write.
