Chapter 1611 - 1594: Earth’s Profound Mysteries, Perfect
Wuji City today is being rebuilt amid the ruins, resembling an unparalleled ferocious beast sitting there, silently roaring at the heavenly dome, majestic and grand.The roads inside the city crisscross, running straight through the entire city. The martial artists living peacefully, enjoying the rare serene life amidst the dark turmoil.
Perhaps... this might be the last tranquil moments in their lives.
On the peak of a palace within the city, Xiao Ye sat cross-legged, emptying his mind. After four months of daily meditation, he seemed to have some understanding, sensing something faintly.
And this time was different from his previous daily two-hour meditation.
Hissing sounds filled the air!
Xiao Ye hadn’t deliberately activated the Earth’s Profound Mysteries, yet it felt as if they were like playful children, cheering excitedly, with mysterious energy surrounding his physical body.
Deep drum beats sounded!
Gradually, he felt as if he was integrating with the earth, with a bridge communicating between him and the earth, even allowing him to feel the earth’s pulsations, vigorous and powerful.
Xiao Ye hadn’t released Half-Emperor Intent, yet by connecting with the earth, his keen senses swiftly extended from under his feet, covering the entire Wuji City.
Every gust and rustle within Wuji City was ’seen’ by him, and even the Half-Emperor strong people in the city couldn’t detect this sensory coverage.
It was as if Xiao Ye had transcended from Wuji City, becoming a spectator, observing everything within it.
He ’saw’ the Sword Emperor, Taiyi Palace Master, and Pei Jiang, three Half-Emperors, crazily cultivating in closed training.
They knew Xiao Ye lacked confidence in the upcoming decisive battle, so they all wanted to help relieve some pressure from him.
Simultaneously, Xiao Ye also ’saw’ Wu Ming, frowning and absorbed in cultivating the Fifth Layer of the Dominator Body, wanting to further refine his physical body, cause a transformation, and reach the Half-Emperor level.
Rustling sounds filled the air!
Amidst the surge of golden blood Qi, even the void was shaken, and the Half-Emperor level was within reach.
"Dad, Dad, you can’t leave Feng’er, wake up quickly!"
In a residence on the western side of Wuji City, a seven or eight-year-old boy held a man whose face was turning blue, wailing loudly, with crystalline tears rolling down.
His family perished during the dark turmoil, leaving him to rely solely on his father.
Though his father miraculously survived, he suffered irreparable internal injuries, knowing his days were numbered, and thus insisted on taking him across several domains to join the Wuji Sect.
The purpose was for him to live in Wuji City and seek protection from the Wuji Sect.
Today, his father finally couldn’t hold on and passed away.
Meanwhile, in the neighboring residence, a steward’s wife from the Wuji Sect was giving birth to a daughter, the joyful sounds contrasting starkly with the crying.
"No matter how dazzling one’s talent is, unless one ascends to the Emperor Realm, everyone turns into dust, swallowed by the earth, and becomes nourishment for new life?"
"This must be the indifferent side of the earth; it can nurture everything but also bury everything." Seeing this, Xiao Ye sighed, his figure akin to a sculpture, motionless.
"Humph, you useless waste!"
"Your parents fought and died for the Wuji Sect, forging supreme glory, they were great heroes. But you end up being a waste, still in Postnatal Realm, bringing disgrace to our Wuji Sect!"
"Hurry up and leave, we don’t need someone like you!"
"That’s right, using our Wuji Sect’s cultivation resources on you is such a waste; it would be better to give them all to us instead."
...
In a secluded corner of Wuji City, a youth with bruised face and bleeding mouth was subjected to scolding and ridicule by his companions, his head bowed silently, yet his fists suddenly clenched, nails digging deep into his palms.
In Wuji Sect, many descendants left behind by those who fought and died for the Sect were brought over and cared for and nurtured by Wuji Sect.
This young man was one among them.
Unfortunately, his martial arts talent was indeed too poor; despite receiving fair nurturing from the Wuji Sect, he often experienced ridicule.
Xiao Ye looked on calmly.
Everyone has their path to walk, and this youth is no exception; no one can predict his future.
"Living on the same earth, yet everyone’s experiences and encounters differ; this is another facet of the earth."
Xiao Ye continued to observe everything in Wuji City.
Now, only a few months remain before Xiao Ye and the Dark Emperor engage in life-and-death combat, and Wuji City is enveloped in a heavy atmosphere, with few moments of laughter and joy.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Xiao Ye felt a stir in his heart.
Through connecting with the earth, Xiao Ye’s consciousness enveloped a certain place.
In a mansion, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy in white was practicing a set of combat techniques in the courtyard.
This boy, despite his young age, had already reached the Void Martial Realm, clearly possessing genius talent.
The combat techniques he was cultivating were incredibly ordinary, not even worth looking at in the Central State, let alone in the Four Great States; any sect with slightly decent foundations wouldn’t pay it any heed, it badly matched the talent of this genius.
"Lord Xiao was finally moved by me and granted this set of combat techniques; I must diligently cultivate it."
This boy in white practiced with great seriousness, his face stubborn, occasionally pausing to reflect and deduce, fully immersed in his world.
"Good character; he’s promising material." Xiao Ye smiled slightly.
This boy was a genius from the Xuanming Sect, crossing domains alone to find Xiao Ye as a master.
In the next moment, Xiao Ye no longer focused on him, but rather immersed himself in communicating with the earth, feeling its pulse.
"So, this is the mystery of Earth’s Profound Mysteries?"
Hours later, unlike before, Xiao Ye didn’t get up but continued to sit silently, Earth’s Profound Mysteries surging around him, enveloping his entire body.
His eyes were covered with a layer of yellow light, and his hair turned yellow, dancing in the wind.
In the Time Tower, he had pondered for a long time without perfecting Earth’s Profound Mysteries, yet now they were transforming as if naturally flowing, breaking through all barriers with ease.
"What’s wrong with Dad?"
Unlike before returning home to accompany, Xiao Nian ran over to call out, but was stopped by Bing Ya.
"Nian’er, your dad is likely on the verge of a breakthrough, don’t disturb him." Bing Ya smiled gently.
"Mom, do you mean Dad is breaking through?"
"Will Dad’s breakthrough stabilize the dark turmoil?"
Xiao Nian asked excitedly.
"Definitely." Bing Ya said softly, her gentle gaze on Xiao Ye sitting at the palace’s peak.
