Chapter 27: The Secret of Seizing lives! Great Magic Treasure! (2)Translator: Sissy That Walk
Injustice prevailed in the law of nature. While mayfly only lived for one day, Dragons or Demonic Beasts were born with the cultivation equivalent of the Eighth Rank. It should be equal among all the creatures in the world, and no one could outlive the others. There was no difference of lowliness or nobleness between human beings and distinct species ever, even the smallest insect living in the drain was also life.
This was the real Tao of the Heaven — All the creatures were equal.
And the secret of seizing lives actually meant seizing the unfair rules of every life.
Luo Jianqing sat on the stone bed and meanwhile, he formed a sign incessantly. Soon, an invisible power emanated slowly and then it turned into long strip dancing in the air lightly inside the small boat. The power seemed like it had the special Spiritual Sense and played naughtily around Luo Jianqing.
But soon they stopped slowly with the Sense sounded from Luo Jianqing’s mouth.
Suddenly, a blue light explored from Luo Jianqing’s forehead and a trefoiled blue lotus showed with bright lights.
With the cultivation of a cultivator who cultivated the True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record increased, a tattoo of the lotus would appear on his forehead. After Luo Jianqing stopped cultivating the True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record and turned to cultivating Nine Heavenly Seizure Record, then the tattoo on his forehead became a small trouble for him. But unexpectedly, the trefoiled blue lotus still existed on his forehead even he cultivated the Nine Heavenly Seizure Record.
The only difference was that the blue lotus now became more vivid, shining some spiritual lights faintly.
Luo Jianqing’s eyes were closed tightly while some blue spiritual lights appeared from his figures. Around the spiritual lights, the invisible power began to spin and formed a small whirlpool. Soon, the whirlpool got bigger and bigger and then finally broke the limit space of the boat, extending quickly.
“Even a yellow flower contains its Prajna, even a blue bamboo owns its Dharmakaya.”
“The Tao of Heaven has its own way, and where is it? In the Equality of All Sentient Beings, in the Constancy of all creatures!”
“The Second Seizure of the Nine Heavenly Seizure Record, Seizing Lives!”
In an instant, terrible spiritual energy exploded suddenly from Luo Jianqing and spread around uniformly. As the first thing that the spiritual energy reached, Li Xiuchen who stood on the boat was immediately wrapped up by the invisible power like a cocoon. However, at the moment when the power tried to seize his natural law, a lot of spiritual lights showed on Li Xiuchen.
The power stopped for a while and then released Li Xiuchen helplessly, leaving disdainfully after it gave a flick of its long strip to Li Xiuchen.
Of course, Li Xiuchen knew nothing about what was taking place right now. Standing still on the boat, he looked at the Liu Yan Valley with a curious look.
After this, the power flew toward the Liu Yan Valley quickly and swept countless low-level Demonic Beasts, even a fifth-layer Demonic Beast was included! In this world, one fifth-layer Demonic Beast owned the same cultivation of a cultivator in the Gold Core. And some fifth-layer Demonic Beast with spiritual sense even could talk. As the only Demonic Beasts that could feel the invisible power, it struggled crazily.
However, no matter how hard it struggled, resplendent starlight still flew away from the fifth-rank Demonic Beasts after the time for a cup of tea, being absorbed by Luo Jianqing’s body immediately.
With his eyebrows drawn together tightly, the blue light on Luo Jianqing was getting brighter and brighter.
His cultivation increased so greatly that he immediately reached the level of full middle-stage of Gold Core, which just one more power needed and he could reach the late-stage Gold Core easily.
The Second Seizure of the Nine Heavenly Seizure Record, Seizing Lives, he finally cultivated!
….
The flying boat kept flying forward. No matter where it arrived, the invisible power swept everything along the way and every single place it reached, the invisible power would absorb all the natural law of the creatures, leaving no exception. What’s more, it never gave up on watching Li Xiuchen with its covetous eyes (if it had eyes), wondering how to absorb all his natural law successfully.
But it couldn’t, considering his powerful natural law which even could be seen from one hundred kilometers away.
Due to the influence of invisible power, a lot of cultivators who just arrived the Liu Yan Valley found that during this time, many Demonic Beasts and spiritual plants had undergone some things against the law of the nature, such as the Dark Sands Snake which should be born with third rank cultivation, but now they were in the second rank cultivation! And the Black Fire Flower which would never reach the fourth layer, but now they did!
“Maybe it’s because of the difference of the geographical conditions between the Liu Yan Valley and others?”
No one could explain it.
Seven days later, Luo Jianqing and Li Xiuchen arrived on the fourth layer of the Liu Yan Valley.
Luo Jianqing took the flying boat back to the Interspatial Ring, and then they stepped on the hot sands and stones, walking on the Liu Yan Vally step by step.
Due to his low cultivation, Li Xiuchen was very glad to walk with Luo Jianqing since it would help a lot if he got Luo Jianqing to rely on. But meanwhile, he still remembered the day when he came into the relic of Sir Bei Dou, Luo Jianqing ordered someone to cover his mouth and fixed his body with a spell, which was really a shame! Therefore, now as the only person he could count on right now, Li Xiuchen still kind of fear him.
But after getting along with him for some days, Li Xiuchen realized surprisingly that maybe Luo Jianqing forgot it.
One time, Li Xiuchen asked Luo Jianqing carefully, but Luo Jianqing asked him back with a surprised look, “So it was you, the junior brother at that time?”
Actually, it made sense. Back then, he thought Luo Jianqing was also a person who transmigrated to this world like him, so he sent out a few cautious feelers and as return, he was kicked by Luo Jianqing for several times. And then when they were in the relic of Sir Bei Dou, maybe he had said something wrong so Luo Jianqing punished him as his Senior brother.
So in fact, Luo Jianqing was not so bad to him, at least, Luo Jianqing treated him better than Xie Zizhuo.
Thinking of this, Li Xiuchen’s perspective on Luo Jianqing changed. After being bullied by many persons in the Hao Ming peak, Li Xiuchen had learned how to forbear his anger. Ten times Xie Zizhuo provoked him, Li Xiuchen could ignore him for two times. It was great progress, right?
Li Xiuchen said, “Big brother, how about we take a break here?”
Luo Jianqing smiled, “Okay.”
Look! What a nice easy-going person compared to Xie Zizhuo!
Luo Jianqing acted normal and calm like he had no desire about the Magic treasures in the Liu Yan Valley and just kept cultivating. If Li Xiuchen asked him to stop for a rest, he stopped. And if Li Xiuchen told him that it was the time to go, he followed. Therefore, Li Xiuchen gradually relaxed and let down his guard against Luo Jianqing.
But along the way, Luo Jianqing saw many Yan Fruit.
It was a bit wired since they couldn’t find even one Yan Fruit although they had searched it for three days before, now they found eight Yan Fruits within one day!
Luo Jianqing was quite generous with these Yan Fruits. He did not take any of those which Li Xiuchen was able to reach and he only took whichever Li Xiuchen was unable to reach.
This made Li Xiuchen feel more grateful to him. He even decided to totally let go of the fact that Luo Jianqing kicked him on his face and gagged him.
There was even one time Li Xiuchen whispered “I will try my best to defeat the BOSS as fast as I can in the future” at midnight.
Li Xiuchen did not know that Luo Jianqing’s hearing was much better than a normal Gold-Core-Period cultivator, even better than many Nascent-Soul-Period cultivators. Even if Li Xiuchen did not make a sound, only blowing out air, Luo Jianqing still could understand what he was saying.
After more than one month’s walk, the two had found many treasures. Li Xiuchen looked at Luo Jianqing gratefully, while Luo Jianqing was very calm.
Li Xiuchen appreciated Luo Jianqing. But Luo Jianqing knew that even he gave a small part of the treasures he encountered to Li Xiuchen, the gain of this month was more than what he had obtained within half a year in his last life.
The Heaven’s Way was never fair. Li Xiuchen stopped to have a rest, and just like that he secured a Yan Fruit after stepping on the sand. However, Luo Jianqing had to kill a five-level demonic beast to obtain one Yan Fruit.
After walking for another three days, the two finally encountered people from Duan Hun Sect.
Unlike Tai Hua Mountain, the disciples of which divided into different groups in order to find more opportunities, the disciples in Duan Hun Sect all stayed together. The cultivation base of their leader Yan Su was Half Nascent Soul Period. So when he appeared in a sudden, Luo Jianqing opened his eyes and raised his head to look at him.
Their eyesight met in the air.
After a long time, Yan Su greeted him while cupping his hands as a salute:” Fellow cultivator Luo.”
Luo Jianqing followed suit:” Fellow cultivator Yan.”
Yan Su asked:” It looks like fellow cultivators from Tai Hua Mountain were separated to look for the opportunities in small groups? ”
Luo Jianqing kept quiet with a smile, not answering his question.
Meanwhile, a female, wearing a blue cheongsam, who was standing next to Yan Su suddenly started to talk with a high-pitched voice:” Senior brother, I saw that guy picked up one Yan Fruit and then dug out of one Yan Fruit from the sand.”
The eyes of disciples from Duan Hun Sect were focused on Liu Xiuchen, who was standing next to Luo Jianqing.
Luo Jianqing also looked at Liu Xiuchen with surprise.
…Liu Xiuchen only went out for a walk for 15 minutes, and he had found two Yan Fruits?!
The nine people from Duan Hun Sect were all staring at Li Xiuchen, the female in blue said with jealousy that Li Xiuchen was only in Qi Refining Period that he did not deserve to own this many Yan Fruits. But Yan Su waved his hand to discontinue her, and he took one step forward and asked:” Fellow cultivator Luo, may I ask how many Yan Fruits do you guys have?”
Luo Jianqing’s face clouded up after he heard his question.
While Yan Su added:” I know my question was rude, but I have to tell you, we, nine people from Duan Hun Sect, have been looking for two months, only finding four Yan Fruits.”
Instead of being angry, Luo Jianqing started to laugh: “Is it related to me that you have only obtained four Yan Fruits?”
Yan Su said:” Fellow cultivator Luo, I have been always looking up to you, the first disciple of Tai Hua Mountain. But junior sisters and brothers risked their lives to enter Liu Yan Valley. In Liu Yan Valley, it is common to kill a person and seize the treasure. There is even a rule which says that all conflicts will be considered as it has never been happened after you are out of Liu Yan Valley. Tai Hua Mountain and Duan Hun Sect have both signed the contract——In Liu Yan Valley, life and death are pre-ordained, and riches and honours come from God.”
Luo Jianqing replied indifferently: “So?”
