“The Immortal Ze is quite chaotic tonight…” The dual-blade wielder, accompanied by a crow, was flying low over the Immortal Ze. The crow, looking down at the shadows below, commented.
“Anyway, aside from Golden Yue, nothing can trouble me. If anything big approaches, just let me know. It won’t affect our actions,” the dual-blade wielder replied.
“If our target is killed by Yue, it would save us some effort,” the crow said. The method of seeing and hearing everything consumed a lot of energy, so it had waited until they reached the Immortal Ze to start using it. At this moment, it had just locked onto their target and was heading towards Chu Liang’s location.
“I’d rather not,” the dual-blade wielder said with a sinister smile. “If he dares to trouble me, I must personally end him to vent my anger.”
“We’re almost there,” the crow said after a while. “This time, I’ll watch you do it.” As soon as it finished speaking, the dual-blade wielder’s consciousness also sensed a cautious figure ahead.
Chu Liang was crouching low, moving cautiously, and searching for a safe path. Shadows were constantly fleeing from the Immortal Ze, creating a scene of apocalyptic escape.
However, along the way, he didn’t see any particularly powerful golden or silver demons. The number of these demons was not high to begin with.
Is it safe? He was thinking when he saw a black wind flying towards him from a distance, carrying an undisguised strong killing intent.
Who is that? This incarnation didn’t carry any magical instruments, so Chu Liang could only dodge quickly. But the person was fast and caught up with him in the blink of an eye!
Only then did Chu Liang see the person in the black wind clearly. He was masked and carrying dual blades, his eyes fierce. As he approached, the dual-blade wielder drew his blade, his figure turning into a black light and whizzing past Chu Liang.
The faint shadow under the moonlight was cut in half by the black light. At the same time, Chu Liang’s body paused, swayed, and fell to the ground in two pieces.
Blood splattered in the air, and his body thudded to the ground. The dual-blade wielder turned around, looked at the two halves of the body, thought for a moment, and then, as if feeling uncertain, drew his blade again and cut off the head of the upper body.
He thought for a moment, then raised his hand and pierced the heart.
He thought again, then simply swung his dual blades, chopping for a while.
“That should be enough,” the crow on his shoulder couldn’t help but say, “You could make dumplings with any more.”
The dual-blade wielder stopped, took a deep breath, and said, “He’s definitely dead now, right?”
“Absolutely no problem,” the crow also confidently said, “If he’s not dead, I’ll take your surname.” Only then did the dual-blade wielder feel satisfied, and he turned into a black wind and flew away.
“Ah!” Chu Liang exclaimed, his consciousness instantly returning to his body, his clothes soaked in cold sweat.
Although that was just an incarnation, all five senses were real. The feeling of facing death at the moment of being killed was very real.
He had essentially died once! Who was that masked man? He was so brutal, killing on sight, he must have locked onto his target long ago.
And that strange sword technique that could break his physical body without hurting him, just by cutting off his shadow… it was very strange.
After calming down for a while, he looked at the little girl in front of him. She was very close, and there was a strange light in her eyes.
Chu Liang found this familiar because Liu Xiaoyu and Big Head often had this kind of light in their eyes.
“Are you hungry?” Chu Liang asked. The little girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Indeed. Chu Liang then took out two Dragon Breath Golden Pattern berries.
“Here, eat this. It’s all I have,” Chu Liang handed the berries to the little girl. She looked at the berries, seeming a bit hesitant.
“They’re delicious,” Chu Liang added. The little girl then took the berries and took a small bite. Immediately, her eyes lit up.
It seemed that there was something delicious in the berries! She quickly finished one whole berry, eating like a little wolf.
Chu Liang gave her another one, and she immediately finished it.
“Look at how hungry this child is,” Chu Liang fed her four or five more, then stopped and said, “That’s enough for now. Don’t eat anymore. After we get out, I’ll get you something better.” He stood up, took the little girl’s hand, and flew out of the cave with her.
Outside, the stars were vast, and the moonlight was faint. The two of them walked out, and for some reason, the shadows that had been everywhere suddenly disappeared.
Did they run away? Chu Liang was a bit puzzled, but he didn’t think much about it. As long as it was safe, it was fine.
“I’ll take you outside first, then ask the local officials to help you find your parents,” Chu Liang said as he led her along. “If we can’t find them, I’ll take you to Shu Mountain…” But that seemed unlikely. Shu Mountain was not a charity. There were many orphans on the mountain, but only children with cultivation potential would be adopted.
For a child like this… Just as they were passing by a lake, the little girl suddenly broke free from Chu Liang’s hand with a burst of strength and jumped into the lake!
The Immortal Ze was chaotic tonight, and the surface of the water was boiling like a pot, constantly churning. The little girl jumped in and was swallowed up in an instant.”Eh?” Chu Liang exclaimed, immediately diving into the water. As soon as he submerged, he felt the surrounding spiritual energy in chaos, as if there was a massive volcano erupting underwater. No wonder the surface was so turbulent.
The little girl could actually swim, and at an astonishing speed. She dove straight down, her body moving like a fish. Chu Liang was unable to catch up with her for a while!
He pondered, deciding that he needed to learn some water-diverting techniques when he returned to Shu Mountain. Otherwise, no matter how strong his cultivation was, it would be diminished underwater.
Soon, the little girl’s speed slowed down. Chu Liang quickly swam forward, intending to grab her.
Before he could reach out, a sudden sense of immense pressure welled up in his heart. A huge shadow flashed across his consciousness, and he looked up sharply.
He saw a massive, dark mouth! From above, it was clear that it was a giant fat-headed fish covered in scales. A ball of light that looked like a lantern hung from its head. Its body was as large as several buildings, and its mouth was as dark as an abyss.
Its fangs were terrifying, like a demon’s arrival!
“Roar—” The mouth opened, engulfing a large area of water, then closed. Chu Liang and the unusually calm little girl were both sucked into a powerful vortex.
Swallowed! Chu Liang could only desperately protect the little girl, holding her in his arms. They tumbled and finally fell onto a soft surface. The water that had been sucked in with them fell like a torrential rain, thoroughly drenching them.
“You almost got me killed…” Chu Liang shook his head, intending to scold her, but saw the little girl calmly walking forward. He looked up and saw a crystal-like palace in front of him, made entirely of glass, sparkling and transparent. The belly of the fish was like a huge cave, with the cave walls emitting a gentle purple light, making the crystal palace look grand and dreamy. There was actually a crystal palace hidden inside the belly of the fish! Chu Liang was greatly shocked and dared not make a sound. Seeing the little girl walking straight ahead, he couldn’t help but follow. The doors of the crystal palace were wide open. As soon as he stepped in, he was shocked again. Lying on the glass-like floor were six bodies, all with golden skin and containing powerful energy. They were all Golden Yues! One had once made them extremely embarrassed, and here were six. Upon closer inspection, they had all been dead for a long time. The little girl didn’t even glance at them, as if she hadn’t seen them at all. She walked past the bodies of the Golden Yues and entered the inner hall of the crystal palace. The inner hall was no longer a glass floor, but a spacious and flat grassland. In the center stood a huge stone tablet. The tablet was engraved with ancient characters, which Chu Liang could vaguely understand. The first few big characters were:
“Jiang Kui’s Tomb”. Behind the big characters was a line of small characters:
“I caused all the disasters in the Great Ze, knowing that my sins are heavy, but my lifespan is about to end and I have no strength to clean up the mess. I can only make a great vow that after my death, my cultivation will be transformed into a celestial grass to help the human race forever.” Looking down, there was a leaf standing upright, full and flamboyant, with all the veins in gold, spreading like a spider web.
This pattern was exactly the same as the celestial grass in the guide! Next to the stone tablet was a small crystal coffin, but the lid was already open and the scene was chaotic.
Chu Liang didn’t think about anything else, his eyes immediately locked on the celestial grass! It was like finding a needle in a haystack, but he got it without any effort!
Wasn’t this what he had gone through so many hardships for?! According to the meaning of the stone tablet, the celestial grass here was actually the spiritual manifestation of the great power buried here after his death?
No wonder the celestial grass would actively approach humans, it was influenced by his great vow before his death! In this way, the person lying below was likely to be a great power of the eighth realm!
Because although the great powers of the seventh realm are rare, no one has heard of anyone who has such spirituality after death. I’m afraid only those who control the heavenly element can make such a vow before death.
This is a heavenly tomb! Just as his heart was about to surge with excitement, he saw the little girl still calm, without stopping, she walked straight to the leaf and playfully picked it up!
She pulled out the celestial grass and stuffed it into her mouth! She was going to eat the celestial grass raw! Chu Liang’s eyes widened and he shouted:
“Stop!”
