2167 The Titles of the Nine God Monarchs

Weng weng!

Zhang Xuans head stalled for a moment before something clicked in his head. In a voice that was nearly shouting, he exclaimed, The Spirit God died forty years ago? How is that possible? Is the Spirit God a hereditary title? The person I am looking for should be the newly-appointed Spirit God!

Luo Ruoxin had only parted with him a month ago, so how could she have already been dead for forty years?

It could not possibly be that he was haunted by a ghost, right?

If he was not mistaken, Spirit God should be nothing more than a title. With the death of the previous Spirit God, the successor would take their place.

It should be the same as the title Sovereign Chen Yong, where the title was passed down from generation to generation.

This Can such a thing be passed down? Fu Jiangchens face was filled with skepticism. I dont think that the possibility is very likely. If such a thing happened, the entire Firmament should have learned about it by now. Theres no way we wouldnt have heard a thing till now

The entire Firmament should have learned about it? Zhang Xuan was getting more and more confused by the moment. Is the Spirit God a very prestigious title?

Even if a Conferred God King passed down their position to their successor, it would not go to the extent where the entire Firmament knew about it.

The Spirit God is one of the Nine God Monarchs. How could it not be a prestigious title? Fu Jiangchen replied with a bitter smile.

Zhang Xuan immediately froze on the spot upon hearing those words.

Wait a moment, Luo Ruoxin, no, the Spirit God is one of the Nine God Monarchs?

He knew that his girlfriend was unlikely to be an ordinary person, but never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that she would actually be one of the Nine God Monarchs, the strongest existence in the entire Firmament

This was way too much for him to absorb quickly.

Zhang Xuan could not help but feel a little dreamy. If that was really true, it would explain why she had been unwilling to get together with him initially, as well as why she was so hesitant to reveal her identity.

There was simply too huge a gap between the two of them. Given the mortal he was then, there was no way he would have been compatible with her.

Thats indeed the case. Fu Jiangchen nodded.

Zhang Xuan took a deep breath to calm himself down first before asking, May I know which of the Nine Skies the Spirit God rules over?

He knew of the Nine Skies, but he had a limited understanding of the Nine God Monarchs. He wanted to know which of the Nine Skies Luo Ruoxin ruled over so that he could head over to find her.

You dont know?

Fu Jiangchen was surprised by Zhang Xuans question. He stared at the young man for a moment, but it did not seem like the young man was joking with him. So, he shook his head and replied, The Spirit God is naturally the monarch of the Sky of Spirit Origin!

Sky of Spirit Origin? Zhang Xuan was stunned as another name for the Sky of Spirit Origin suddenly surfaced in his mind. You are referring to the Sky of Deathlessnessright? Which means to say thatthe Spirit God is the Deathless Monarch?

Indeed! Fu Jiangchen nodded in response.

This Zhang Xuan was utterly dumbfounded.

The Spirit God was actually the Deathless Monarch but the Deathless Monarch was already dead! He even saw the latters tombstone back at the Azure?

Could it be that Ruoxin inherited the position of the previous Deathless Monarch, thus becoming the Spirit God of the new generation? Zhang Xuan swiftly came up with a plausible answer to this bizarre occurrence.

This was the only explanation that he could think of that made sense of everything.

Well, Im afraid that I dont really know about that Fu Jiangchen replied awkwardly.

A moment later, he added, Its hard to say when it comes to the God Monarchs. They arent beings whom we can talk about casually, and it would be foolish to apply our common sense to them No God Monarch has ever passed away since the inception of the Firmament, and this is the first time something like this has happened. So, be it the identity of the successor or whether there is even a successor in the first place, we dont really know much about it

Zhang Xuan continued asking a few more questions, but it appeared that Fu Jiangchen did not know much about the Spirit God of the Sky of Spirit Origin. So, he decided not to ask about that anymore.

Then, do you know the God Monarch for each of the Nine Skies?

For some reason, the information regarding the Nine God Monarchs was not detailed in any of the books at all. Most of what he had knew about the God Monarchs had come from Mo Yun, the teacher that he met shortly after he arrived in the Firmament.

Since Fu Jiangchen appeared to be extremely knowledgeable about the Firmament, it would be best to direct these questions to him.

Those arent secrets at all. Anyone who tries to look into it will be able to receive answers quickly! Fu Jiangchen said. It appears that you know about the Nine Skies, so I wont touch too much on them. As for the Nine God Monarchs

The Cloud Dragon Monarch rules over the eastern Sky of Cloud Dragon. As a Pureblooded Dragon, hes an unparalleled existence in the world.

Monarch Fumeng, known for his valiance and brawling abilities, governs the western Sky of Adamant Gold.

The Sky of Spirit Origin, also known as the Sky of Deathlessness, is located at the south of the Firmament, and its ruler is the Deathless Monarch, who is also addressed as the God of Spirit Origin or Spirit God for short.

Located directly opposite of that is the northern Sky of Acheron, also known as the Acheron Ocean. Its a massive ocean that even God Kings can easily lose their way in Its ruler is the Acheron Monarch!

The Sky of Blazing Sun is located to the southeast of the Firmament, and it is ruled by Monarch Zhuoyang, who is also known as the Blazing Sun Monarch. His presence itself casts an inferno over the lands, making him a deeply feared figure.

To the northeast is the Sky of Heavenly Sword, one of the most mysterious places in the Firmament. It doesnt have much land, but there is no power that dares to trifle with it. There are rumors that the Heavenly Sword Monarch possesses strength that triumphs over the other God Monarchs, and only that person of the Sky of Freedom is able to curb him.

The southwestern Sky of Linglong is where I spend most of my time nowadays. Fairy Linglong is the only female monarch of the Nine God Monarchs as far as I know. I have met her a few times, and she doesnt put on airs and is very down to earth. I respect her a lot.

Northwest of the Firmament where we are at now, the Sky of Drifting Specter. The monarch of the Sky of Drifting Specter is the Qiankun Demon Monarch. You should be more familiar with this than me, so Ill just skip him.

And at the very center of those eight Skies is the Sky of Freedom. The monarch of the Sky of Freedom is a huge mystery. I have never met them before, so I dont know who they are or what their gender is. In fact, I dont even know what their title is, and I dare not talk too carelessly about them either. All I know is that they possess unfathomable strength, such that the other eight God Monarchs appear to view them as their de facto leader.

Fu Jiangchen swiftly went through the details of the Nine God Monarchs to Zhang Xuan.

Cloud Dragon Monarch, Monarch Fumeng, Monarch Zhuoyang Zhang Xuan committed the names of the Nine God Monarchs to memory before nodding quietly.

Given that Luo Ruoxin addressed herself as the Spirit God, it was very likely that she was the successor of the Deathless Monarch. He would have head down to the Sky of Spirit Origin to verify this matter for himself.

However, the problem was that the Sky of Spirit Origin was located in the south of the Firmament whereas the Sky of Drifting Specter was in the northwest. He would probably have to use the Teleportation Formations. The distance was simply too far for him to traverse through normal means.

If you have no other questions, Ill be leaving then!

After talking about the Nine God Monarchs, Fu Jiangchen filled Zhang Xuan in on a few other secrets that he could afford to talk about before bidding farewell.

I am deeply grateful for your honest response to my questions, Apothecary Fu, Zhang Xuan said as he bowed deeply.

Most people would avoid talking about the Nine God Monarchs for fear that they would draw trouble to themselves. It could be said that Fu Jiangchen had really done him a great favor.

Apothecary Zhang, you are too courteous. As someone who is able to become high-tier Celestial God and come up with the Breakthrough Pill and Beauty Pill at such a young age, I believe that its only a matter of time before you become a God King. Even if I chose not to speak today, it would only be a matter of time before you learned about these things yourself. So, you need not feel too burdened by this! Fu Jiangchen chuckled softly.

He would not have spoken about the Nine God Monarchs under normal circumstances, but he saw great potential in the young man before him. In terms of strength, potential, and skills in pill forging, the young man did not pale much in comparison to him.

It was very likely that the young man would become his peer or surpass him even in the near future. Since that was the case, it would be better to do him a favor now.
