The news of Xiao Shishui defeating one of Yindu's Heroic Four spread like a gale. It swept across the entire Shang Dynasty's capital overnight. This was undoubtedly a sensational news.
Yindu's Heroic Four was almost invincible among the younger generation. Their names had shaken the Shang Dynasty's capital for several years. They were invincible and simply couldn't meet their match. Even the experts who were half a generation older than them might not necessarily be able to contend against them.
Warbeast Castle, Gambling City, Spellbind Castle, Moonflower Castle … All the practitioners were discussing this matter. Xiao Shishui's name shook Yindu overnight, especially the younger generation.
They paid special attention to this matter after receiving the news. That Chakravarti was an outstanding figure among the younger generation. For him to be defeated like this was a major event.
"The Destiny Twins are known to be undying. With the Infernal King's Treasure and the Heavenly Wheel at the same time, it was enough to show disdain for the younger generation. How many people could contend against them? However, they were defeated by a wandering practitioner from overseas. We need to find that wandering practitioner. "
"Let's see if we can rope Xiao Shishui in."
After receiving the report, many clans had already issued similar orders. Such a young powerhouse would definitely become a peerless expert that could intimidate a region in a few decades or even a hundred years. If he was properly nurtured, it was highly possible that he could sweep away all the powerhouses of the same generation. How could the clans not try to recruit him?
The Eightfold World, the first time it appeared in front of the world, it immediately became famous.
On top of that, Xiao Chen was proficient in the Seal of the Fearless Lion, the Seal of the Acalanatha, the Seal of the Divine Flower, the Seal of the Precious Vase, and the Seal of the Eternal Soul. This made his origin even more mysterious.
Not to mention that terrifying Telepathic Sword Wave. It had even shaken the world in a certain era. On top of that, the Divine Seal of the Ten Layers of Yin Yang. All of these seemed to indicate that … Xiao Chen's origin was not simple at all. There should be several peerless experts behind him. Otherwise, how could he learn these long-lost consummate skills?
That night, the entire Yindu was in an uproar, no matter if it was the gambling city or the brothel. Many practitioners were discussing spiritedly.
And it was also on this night that everyone found out one more thing. One of Yindu's Heroic Four, Yanzon, would be returning to Yindu within three days. The urgent letter Chakravang received during the battle was sent by Yanzon.
This news made everyone extremely expectant. One of the four heroes, Chu Hangkuang, was defeated. Would Yan Zhangkong stand up for him? It was not for revenge, but to regain some face for him.
After all, the Four Heroes were of the same breath. They were good friends to begin with. Now that Yan Zhangkong had returned, how could he just watch with folded arms? As such, the following days in Yindu would definitely be very exciting.
Other than that, there was another piece of news that was only known to a small group of aristocratic descendants. A "strong tiger" from the powerful Hu clan of the Central Plains was currently in the capital of the Great Shang Empire. After receiving the news that two "little tigers" had been killed, it was believed that the "strong tiger" of the Hu clan, who had always been known to protect his own, would not be able to sit still …
That night. It was destined to make many people lose sleep, because the coming days would be even more exciting.
The lakeside of the Moon Lake had quietened down. Everyone had been waiting for a long time. At this moment, it was already late at night.
The bright moonlight sprinkled down, and the Moon Lake, which was as clear as a gem, flowed with a gentle radiance. It was like a huge glowing gem, and in addition to the wave-like moonlight, this place seemed to be shrouded in a faint layer of mist. It was as beautiful as a fairyland.
A small boat was slowly moving on the Moon Lake. One ripple after another was produced. The bright moon in the water shattered into pieces.
Xiao Chen sat alone at the bow of the boat. Facing the moon and drinking wine. There was no joy of victory. There was only a deep emptiness. While the outside world was in an uproar, he was drifting alone on the Moon Lake.
During the great battle, he was indeed surging with passion. At that moment, he was in high spirits and threw himself into the passionate confrontation where the flame of life burned fiercely. He made the flower of life bloom in full bloom. In that pinnacle confrontation of life and death, he tasted the true meaning of life and death. He felt the passion of blood boiling.
However, after the peak of prosperity, when the passion gradually subsided, when the hot blood gradually cooled down, he felt endless tiredness and emptiness.
The outside world was in an uproar, but he was alone at this moment.
Even if the whole world was cheering for him, it couldn't stop the loneliness he felt at this moment.
Fame, he already had it. Fame, he could easily obtain it.
However … …
Everyone was in an uproar, he was alone. This was his current state of mind.
Leaning against the railing of the small boat, he held a bronze wine vessel in his hand and drank while facing the moon. His face was filled with loneliness and loneliness.
He was already a little drunk. Facing that hazy moonlight, he felt like he had lost himself.
What was the meaning of immortality? Immortality, eternal life in this world, it might not be a fortunate thing. During the long years of immortality, he might face endless bitterness and loneliness.
Perhaps, achieving immortality before the age of forty and "going home" to take a look was the only motivation for him to keep moving forward.
However, when he thought about it carefully, his parents were not in good health. Even if he returned to the human world after twenty years, would he still be able to see them?
Also, the girl who used to be in the human world, who would she belong to after twenty years?
I used my youth to cultivate, but I can't see the future, I can't see the results … … Is it worth it?
Xiao Chen was silent as he looked at the bright moon alone. He suddenly felt very tired, as if there was an invisible shackle firmly locking him down.
I might as well go back … …
Thinking about the scene after twenty years, he suddenly had a feeling that his beliefs were collapsing. Everything he had worked hard for would be for naught. His hopes would be shattered like bubbles. What he would face would be depressing fragments … … Should he continue?
He was drunk!
Xiao Chen was indeed drunk.
His mind was in a mess, and his imagination was running wild. The indifference of a cultivator was lost at this moment.
He actually started to doubt if there was any meaning to his cultivation.
Immortality? To live as long as heaven and earth, to shine as bright as the sun and moon. From then on, he would be immortal and look down on all living beings.
However … Other than that. What else could there be?
The will of heaven was hard to fathom, and the feelings of immortals were like frost.
Being accompanied by coldness and loneliness, was this the final result?
The mortal world was so charming, and the mortal world was so lively. In this way, was there any meaning in pursuing immortality? Perhaps he would be like an ordinary person. Living a simple and happy life would be the best.
Who cares about the collapse of the heavens, the chaos of hell, who cares about the death of the ancestral god, who cares about the calamity of the gods, I will be free and unfettered in the mortal world. Such a colorful life is enough.
In the Moon Lake. Xiao Chen faced the clear moon alone. This place was especially cold and cheerless during the latter half of the night. It was extremely quiet.
Drowsy, the small boat moved along with the waves.
Unknowingly, while Xiao Chen was half-awake, he suddenly heard a series of clanging sounds. The clashing of swords shook the heaven and earth.
He raised his eyes and looked at the ripples in front of him. There was actually a woman flying high in the sky. Although her posture was graceful, her killing intent soared to the heavens.
"The red dust rises. Her black hair is messy, the longsword in her hand moves the heavens. Her eyes emitted cold electricity, her heart is as firm as iron, the edge of the blade trembles ten thousand li … … "
The melodious voice resounded in the air like a hammer pounding on his heart, waking him up in an instant. He didn't know why, but it was as if he saw the scene of a great army. The longsword was filled with hatred, the blood in his heart that had cooled down suddenly ignited.
"The heavenly wind rises. The earth trembles. Millions of heavenly soldiers are hidden in the chest. The spirit swallows the mountains and rivers, the will oppresses the sun and moon. She dares to cause chaos in heaven and earth … … "
Xiao Chen felt as if he was struck by lightning. He instantly felt his blood boil. After being affected by the singing voice, a lofty aspiration actually welled up in that instant. It was as if he could shake the ancestors of heaven and earth.
The intermittent singing seemed to have ignited Xiao Chen's struggle. It made him, who was at a loss, find himself again. This was a battle song that belonged to a man, it made him surge with passion for a moment.
The lyrics were not very good, but that kind of mood already made his blood boil and completely recovered his consciousness.
Life is like a song, how can a man be hesitant and lost in this world? To let the flower of life bloom, to be filled with fighting spirit, to stand proudly between heaven and earth, to let this life be filled with magnificent colors.
No matter what the future holds, it doesn't matter what the result will be. The most important thing is that he has tried his best.
Xiao Chen's heart as a practitioner was unprecedentedly firm. He will continue to move forward. The direction will not change, it will be the same from start to finish, advancing forward courageously.
Everyone was like this, it was impossible for them to be simple and pure. Everyone's character was complicated, and Xiao Chen was the same as well. After a short period of loneliness, his blood would surge again, and he would be filled with even more confidence and motivation.
The singing voice faded away. That dream-like beauty had already disappeared from the Moon Lake.
"Qing Qing … … Is that Qing Qing?"
Xiao Chen shouted loudly. The Eightfold World appeared. Its speed was extremely fast as it rushed towards the misty sky. However, this cold sky was empty, there was nothing at all. There was only the moonlight and the starlight sprinkling down.
"After the battle, the demonic thoughts were actually born and I almost destroyed my own heart. That was really dangerous!"
Xiao Chen sighed.
Standing alone at the bow of the ship, he looked up at the starry sky. His gaze was firm, his will was as strong as steel. Xiao Chen felt full of vigor. His cultivation had reached the peak of Historia Sixth Celestial Layer. It seemed like he could break through to Historia Seventh Celestial Layer at any time.
"Tempering the heart in the secular world is really a bright path."
Xiao Chen felt it deeply. He decided to walk down this secular world with even more vigor. Life was waiting for him.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Chen tossed the head of the evil son into the Moon Lake. Chukang's evil body appeared in an instant. He cupped his hands towards Xiao Chen and flew away.
Although three days was very short, it was enough for Xiao Chen to become a well-known figure among the younger generation practitioners in Yindu.
Chukang's evil body was really sealed for three days. Everyone was shocked, but they also couldn't help but admire Xiao Chen's methods and courage. He dared to suppress a young prince, he was really out of the ordinary.
After comprehending in the Moon Lake for three days, Xiao Chen's mental state once again advanced to the next level. His divine sense had already broken through to Historia Seventh Celestial Layer before his physical body.
With a leap, the light boat disappeared behind him. Using the Eightfold World, Xiao Chen appeared on the main street of Yindu in an instant. The sky was still the same sky, the clouds were still the same clouds. What was different was his mental state. Three days seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye.
A certain Shang King moved the capital to Yindu because of many considerations. Other than the strategic and economic considerations, the most important reason was because of some ancient secrets. According to legend, Fuxi and a few other ancestral gods once lived in seclusion in Yindu for a period of time in the distant past. They left behind an indelible relic here.
It was said that this place was a supreme treasure land. It might also be a divine graveyard. The aura of the heavenly dragon lingered above, and the divine veins of the earth dragon were entrenched below.
Xiao Chen didn't plan to leave Yindu in a short period of time. He had already visited Fuxi's relic, he still wanted to visit a few other divine treasures.
Unknowingly, Xiao Chen arrived at the Lunar Pavilion again. Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh. A person's inertia was indeed terrifying. He had only been here twice, yet he actually arrived here again in this aimless situation.
Since he was already here, there was no reason not to go up.
The moment he arrived at the ninth floor, Xiao Chen suddenly realized that Xiao Shishui could also be considered a celebrity now. It seemed a little inappropriate to come up like this.
However, it was already too late. Everyone's gaze was already focused on him. The originally loud and boastful ninth floor became extremely quiet in an instant.
Immediately after, a warm greeting resounded, "Brother Xiao, this way please …"
"Greetings, Brother Shishui, this way please …"
A group of rich kids surrounded him in an instant. Many of them wanted to invite him as a friend. They had been looking for him for a few days without a trace. How could they not approach him when they suddenly saw him?
This was an expert who defeated Chuxingkuang. He killed the Destiny Twins with the Eightfold World. It could even be said that he had unlimited potential. He was worthy of being roped in by the big clans.
The people were still the same. Xiao Chen saw Yin Feng, Bosch, Chen Hangjin, and the others again. He also saw Yan Qingcheng, Lazio, Frosty, Aqua, Tenvis, and the others in one of the private rooms.
However, today was different from the past. The rich kids of Yindu were no longer overbearing. They no longer targeted the experts from outside the Middle Earth. In the battle three days ago, the Solitary Sword Demon was unrivaled in Yindu. Then, Xiao Chen defeated Chuxingkuang, one of the four heroes of Yindu. It completely shattered the arrogant mentality of the rich kids.
"Xiao Shishui. Come here. "
The door of a private room was pushed open. The Solitary Sword Demon was leaning on the door with his sword on his back.
Xiao Chen cupped his hands towards everyone with a smile. He walked towards the Solitary Sword Demon with large strides and entered the private room with him.
The ninth floor was in an uproar. The Solitary Sword Demon was also the target everyone was looking for and trying to rope in. Who would have thought he was also in this Lunar Pavilion. For a moment, Bosch, Chen Jinxing, Yin Feng, and the others all had their own ideas.
And the door of the other private room was also closed at this moment. One of the four heroes of Yindu, Yanzhangkong, laughed wildly and asked Chuxingkuang, "Is he … the one who killed your Destiny Twins?"
Yanzhangkong had a slender figure, sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes. He was extremely handsome. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was definitely a lady-killer. He belonged to that kind of valiant man with shape and temperament. The unique murderous aura of a soldier was very obvious.
"It's him."
Chuxingkuang nodded and said, "I want to rope him into the army, what do you think?"
"If he is willing, that would be great."
Yanzhangkong swirled the golden wine in his cup and said, "I'm just afraid that he is carefree and doesn't want to go to the battlefield."
Chuxingkuang shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I feel that he is currently training in the training grounds. Pulling him into the battlefield might be a success. For him, that would be an unprecedented experience. An army of a million on the battlefield. That kind of real bloody battle is very suitable for him. "
"How about I defeat his arrogance first?"
Yanzhangkong's eyes flickered with a sharp glint.
"Haha …"
Chuxingkuang laughed wildly and said, "I'm just afraid that you will end up like me and get your head chopped off. I haven't seen arrogance from him, but he still has a lofty and unyielding character. If I force him, it will only arouse his disgust. It's better to go along with him. "
Yanzhangkong seemed to have thought of something and asked, "I heard there is a strong tiger in the imperial capital. That tiger definitely won't leave this matter at that, right?"
In another private room, Windfeathers, the Solitary Sword Demon, and Xiao Chen drank a cup of wine in silence. After that, the door was pushed open. Yan Qingcheng, Lazio, Frosty, Aqua, and Tenvis walked in.
Other than the three from the Western Border, the few from the Southern Wasteland gathered again. Xiao Chen had a very different feeling.
After a short period of silence, everyone began to chat. Even the taciturn Solitary Sword Demon was no longer stingy with his words.
Yan Qingcheng asked, "Solitary Sword Demon, where will you go from here?"
"I will travel to the ends of the world with a sword in hand. I will only train in the sword in this life. I have no fate with the rest."
"What about you?"
While speaking, she asked Windfeathers again.
"I … am just a loser. I will travel to the southwest and enter the sacred mountain of the beasts to search for the soul of the ancient beast king. I will return to Yindu again."
Windfeathers seemed to be making a vow.
As for Windfeathers, Xiao Chen more or less sympathized with him. He was originally an expert, but in the end, he was a tragic character. He encountered even stronger opponents one after another and suffered a few setbacks. Xiao Chen could only console him, "It's not a bad thing to encounter a few failures in the early stages. When you face the sun, the shadow is always behind you."
"Thank you."
Yu Wenfeng nodded.
"No need to ask me."
Seeing that Yan Qingcheng was about to open her mouth, Lazio said to himself, "The immortal's mainland is so vast, hundreds of races stand in great numbers. There are ancient warring races that are comparable to gods, there are peerless beauties. I will leave my footprints in those places. I will travel through thousands of mountains and rivers and travel the world."
"Brother Xiao, where will you go from here?"
Yan Qingcheng asked.
"I … will refine my heart in the secular world …"
Frosty, Aqua, and Tenvis also told him their future plans.
The private room sank into silence for a short period of time. It was very quiet for a while.
They all knew that after today's gathering, they might not be able to meet again in a few decades, or even in this lifetime. This might be the last time they met. Everyone had their own future, they would all walk into the distant world that belonged to them.
The room was filled with a faint sad atmosphere of parting.
