(Yesterday's third chapter, sorry.
I'm too tired, so I fell asleep. I've been in Lijiang for the past few days to change my bad habits. Everyone, bear with it, we'll be back on the 25th.)
Chapter 1168: Breakthrough
The Situation Changes Again
"Hey, kid, it's been 30 days. You've already walked around this small world. How was it? Did you learn anything? Do you know where the ancient technique is hidden? " The Greedy Old Man couldn't help but ask when he saw Xuanyuan standing motionlessly on a stone bridge. He felt that Xuanyuan didn't seem to care much.
"I didn't learn anything. The air is good, it's fresh, and the environment is good. I feel very comfortable. Taking a walk will be good for my body." Xuanyuan thought to himself.
The Greedy Old Man originally thought that Xuanyuan had his own plans. Now that he heard what he said, he had an impulse to vomit blood. There were only 70 days left. If he couldn't find the ancient technique in 'Samsara', all his previous efforts would be in vain. Moreover, 'Samsara' required him to find and understand the beginning of the ancient technique within 100 days. If he couldn't do that, he would be immediately removed from the list. Now, almost a third of the time had passed, and Xuanyuan still hadn't learned anything. How could the Greedy Old Man not be anxious?
"Kid, can't you be more reliable? You only have one chance. Think about it yourself. If you fail, Qing Yi will definitely marry someone else. As the Princess of the Six Paths, there are many things that are beyond her control. Everything has to be done for the sake of the Six Paths."
Xuanyuan ignored the Greedy Old Man. He sat cross-legged on the stone bridge and closed his eyes. He immersed himself in what he had learned in this small world. He remembered every blade of grass, every tree, every spirit, every mountain, every water, every sand, and every stone. The aura they emitted contained the most sincere feelings and a strong sense of longing. This was a kind of longing for one's true love, engraved eternally in this place.
Xuanyuan thought about it for a moment before coming back to his senses. He understood everything.
"I understand. This is the small world Wang Niyi established in his later years. This small world is filled with his memories of Xie Daoyun. Xie Daoyun was his wife, as well as his master. She was probably much older than him, so it was only natural for her to leave him first. That's why he decided to spend the rest of his life here by himself, thinking about her all by himself."
"That seems to be the case, but what can you do even if you know about it? You came here to look for ancient techniques, not for sightseeing, nor to find out about other people's private matters. It's more important to look for ancient techniques," Ye Xiwen said. Greed didn't think much of it and urged him.
"You don't understand. As long as you understand Wang Niyi's thoughts, you'll be able to find the ancient technique. Forget it, telling you is pointless." This was what Xuanyuan felt these past few days. He didn't say anything else.
When Xuanyuan opened his eyes, this small world began to change. Lush and crisp bamboo towered, verdant and glistening. Tall mountains rose and fell one after another, and waterfalls fell from the nine heavens. Rainbows hung in the air one after another like arched bridges, illuminating a lake that was so clear that one could see the bottom. It was extremely beautiful.
At the center of the lake, there was a thirty-meter pavilion carved from white jade.
There was a woman sitting in the center of the pavilion. She wore red clothes, and her long hair fluttered in the wind. There was a wooden table in front of her, and a pair of exquisite fingers that seemed to have been carved by the heavens were plucking at a zither that emitted a supreme dao charm. The melodies were endless, and they spread into the distance, tugging at the heartstrings of those who heard them. The zither music was sometimes like a small bridge over flowing water, sometimes majestic, sometimes melancholy, sometimes sad, sometimes peaceful, sometimes grand, sometimes melancholy, sometimes sad, sometimes peaceful, sometimes grand, sometimes grand, sometimes melancholy, sometimes sad, sometimes peaceful, sometimes grand, sometimes grand.
The zither music contained a supreme dao charm that was profound and unfathomable. Even Xuanyuan didn't fully understand it. He could only stand there and watch, as if he was isolated from this world.
He saw another man in green robes with a sharp sword in his hand. His movements were as smooth as flowing water. Sword light flickered, and his aura soared. He circled around the woman and danced with his sword. Every movement of his was filled with a mysterious ancient charm that made people unable to see through him. Every step he took seemed to be deriving an ancient character that was filled with Dao and logic.
Xuanyuan stared at everything in front of him, imprinting it in his heart. No one could see this scene in front of him. Only Xuanyuan, who was in this small world, could see it.
From an outsider's point of view, Xuanyuan was only sitting cross-legged on the stone bridge, motionless. Another thirty days passed.
"I say, this brat definitely can't do it. He still hasn't found the ancient technique. Looks like there's no hope. There are only forty days left, and he still hasn't found the ancient technique. Not to mention comprehending the ancient technique, even the beginning is extremely difficult. It seems like you Wu generation are doomed to be happy for nothing."
"Hehe, we can make an exception for him. As long as he can find the ancient technique, it's only a matter of time before he can comprehend it. Anyway, all the Crown Prince candidates are dead, and Mo Jue is willing to be Sakyamuni's right-hand man. We can only do this now."
"It's hard to say. Look at him, he's already in a different state. As for how he obtained the ancient technique, apart from the Master of Samsara, no one knows. Let's not rush to a conclusion. Let's wait and see."
"Humph, this brat is only lucky to have survived until now. Otherwise, he would have died many times already. It's ridiculous for him to comprehend the ancient technique with his aptitude. It's better to let him get the hell out of here. Don't make a fool of yourself here."
"Right now, the situation outside is very turbulent. Let's wait and see what's going on first. I think this brat has the strength."
"Hmm, what's the situation now? Is the human race and the Archean royalty going to go to war? If that's the case, the whole world will collapse. What should we do at this time? The Master of Samsara hasn't given any orders yet. Now, we can only wait and see. "
Xuanyuan stayed in that small world for another month. During these 30 days, many unimaginable things happened.
That was when the Far Ancient Royal Families attacked the major human factions, causing them to suffer heavy losses. This touched their bottom line, and they directly brought out their supreme dao treasures and many of their trump cards. Many people who were rumored to have died long ago mysteriously came back to life. Coupled with the ferocious power of the supreme dao treasures, they directly intimidated the Far Ancient Royal Families.
At this moment, the human race was forced to unite and put aside all barriers in order to survive. Otherwise, even if they had supreme dao tools, they would only die miserably. This was because the existences of the Archean royalty all had supreme dao tools that were left behind by their ancient emperors.
With so many supreme dao tools gathered, as long as the Archean royalty dared to make a move, the two races would be destroyed together. Although the human race had declined a lot, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even if they couldn't kill you, they could still die together.
After forcing the human race to this point, no matter how strong the Archean royalty was, they had to stop. Even if they could win, with so many supreme dao tools attacking together, the whole world would definitely be smashed into pieces. At that time, even if they won, it would be meaningless.
Many old men of the human race gathered in the sky. They seemed to be on the verge of death, but the aura exuding from their bodies was tyrannical and murderous. It was as if they could control the life and death of this world.
The Archean royalty was the same. Many existences of the Quasi-emperor realm gathered in this sky.
This was the second time the human race had negotiated with the Archean royalty. The first time was naturally with the Blue Dragon Holy Land.
In the past few days, the Blue Dragon Holy Land hadn't made an appearance. They had been recuperating, strengthening themselves, and conserving their strength.
"Alright, since everyone is here, let's start the negotiations," said one of the Quasi-emperors of the Archean royalty coldly.
"Archean royalty, please withdraw your troops. From now on, my human race and the Archean royalty will mind our own business," said one of the elders.
"Alright. From now on, the Archean royalty is the king of the battle qi world. When you humans see the Archean royalty, you have to bow and kowtow to show respect."
"What's going too far?!"
"What? You don't want to agree? Then let's start a war. "
"Let's start a war. Do you think we're afraid of you? You puny Archean royalty dare to be arrogant?!"
The atmosphere immediately became tense. Killing intent soared from the nine heavens and ten earths.
"Alright, quiet down. This time, we've come to negotiate. We all know what the result will be if we continue fighting. Let's not talk about these useless things. Show your sincerity," said one of the elders calmly.
"Yes, that request just now was a bit too much. You want the Archean royalty to withdraw their troops, but the Archean royalty can freely enter and leave your human race's territory."
"Alright. If you dare cause trouble in my human race's territory, we have the right to kill you."
"If you do something wrong, you can report it to our royal race. We'll deal with it ourselves."
"Hmph, you've already brought them back. Isn't it up to you whether they live or die?"
"Forget it. Let's not talk about these things that don't affect the overall situation. If your human race sects hand over millions of miles of land, we'll stop fighting. From now on, we'll mind our own business."
"Impossible!" The human race's representatives were incomparably resolute.
"Sigh, we'll still fight. At worst, we'll just die together." One of the elders resolutely turned and left.
"That's right, we'd rather die than submit. The Celestial Emperor of Hongmeng has hundreds of sages. We've let our ancestors down. We can only perish together with the Archean royalty."
