Chapter 198. The Bond of Xuan Lingzi (i)Translator: Storm in a Teacup
“What? Jin Li hasn’t come back?!”
In the Majestic Hall of the Demon Realm, the seductive Yin Ji was staring at that messenger with great fury. She suddenly smacked him with her tail, and the poor demon was smashed into jam. But that was just a start. Yin Ji kept beating the floor madly with her tail, string up waves of pressure, and her eyes had turned into dark green.
“The First Ocean, justify yourself!”
There were two messengers from the First Ocean, one had dead, even with no time to beg, while the other one was trembling. He kept kowtowing and repeating, “Your Exalt, I beg for your mercy, please don’t kill me! The Ocean Master has never come back, and we don’t know what happened. Please keep your hair on!”
For a demon as vicious as Yin Ji, fury was transitory.
She restrained her anger, and her tail turned back to two legs. Yin Ji was sitting cross-legged gorgeously. The amorous scene would have rendered anyone pumped, yet now no one dared to appreciate her beauty.
She was rattling her snake tongue and curling up her red lips, “Then how can you let me keep my hair on?”
The demon kowtowed again and begged for her mercy.
Anger couldn’t solve the problem after all. Some demons soon came into the hall and swept up that jammed demon. The hall was clean and neat as before again. Yin Ji lowered her eyes with a poised face, but it was dangerous attempt to guess her mood, so the demon dared not to raise his head.
After a long silence, Yin Jin said indifferently, “Take him away and put him in the Eighteen Burning Prison. You can only be released when Jin Li comes back.”
“Please do not punish me! Please do not punish me!”
The demon was dragged away quickly. Half lying in the hall, Yin Ji pursed her red kips delectably with cold eyes. Suddenly, an old voice echoed in the hall, which made her whole expression change. She lifted her body slightly and disappeared in the next second.
There was still assuring peace in the Demon Realm.
It seemed that demons had no intention to start a war, yet a belligerent force was eager for action.
The Northern Land of Arctic, Ku Mountain.
The Ku Mountain had stayed dormant since its collapse one month ago. There was no another collapse, but some insignificant shaking still mingled, making the cultivators out of the Northern Land of Arctic vigilant and jumpy.
The invisible power surrounded the Ku Mountain and spread out from here. The power raised countless clouds of dust, forming a world of sand in which nothing could be seen. The outsiders dared to enter it and didn’t know what happened inside.
The master in white of delicate beauty was sitting in a cave, examining the small pill in his hand.
Any pill in this world was made from spiritual or live things between Earth and Heaven, more specifically, the raw material including spiritual medicine, demons, and human bodies. The Blood for example, frequently used human to make pills and even Luo Jianqing had once been his target.
Xuan Lingzi was skilled at making pills. Although he was not specialized in it, among all the pill makers, Xuan Lingzi could easily be ranked as top 20. However, he had never heard of the pill purely made from spiritual power.
Exactly, he couldn’t feel any pulse from spiritual instruments or live things. All it had was purest spiritual power!
How powerful it was? Even Xuan Lingzi couldn’t tell, but he knew that the surging spiritual power contained in this pill was much larger and stronger than his. It was impossible to know its upper limit until he swallowed this pill.
He lowered his long beautiful eyes and gazed at this pill with complex expression. He didn’t immediately swallow it.
The spiritual power in this pill was undetectably tremendous. If anything went wrong, his body might explode as it couldn’t bear some much power. It had been a supreme bond for Xuan Lingzi, and also an unparalleled opportunity since he left Tai Hua Mountain. Yet in face of this bond, he hesitated, not for the self-explosion, but…”
“If I remake the spiritual pill, maybe I can give Luo Jianqing some of its power.”
After a long hesitation, Xuan Lingzi finally sighed and gave up this unrealistic thought.
Even Sir Yu Qingzi, the best of the best, couldn’t promise that she was capable of dividing the power in it into two. For such an unprecedented pill, a tiny mistake could lead to the devastation of both the owner and the pill.
Xuan Lingzi narrowed his eyes, tapping the pill and immediately swallowing it.
All of a sudden!
The fierce spiritual power began scurrying around in his body, as if flashes of swift and forceful lightening were rolling over his meridians-they were about to split him into pieces!
If it were Luo Jianqing in such a situation, he might have been a little bit panicky, yet Xuan Lingzi had come through countless fights and various dangers, so he was quite calm poised. He started to run True Nine-Petaled Lotus Record, and the power of his primordial life was quickly mobilized, fighting against the invading spiritual power in his body.
The fight started.
His body as the battleground, Xuan Lingzi was tussling for the true winner of this fight.
The spiritual power in the pill was much more formidable than his own, but Xuan Lingzi’s primordial life remained perfectly calm and collected. As it moved slightly, a gold lotus slowly blossomed, and numerous flying gold lotuses rushed towards the overwhelming spiritual power.
They clashed fiercely, like surging waves breaking against the shore!
In this narrow cave, stone and even the hills around began to shake, which were almost smashed by those two horrible powers. However, it was the Ku Mountain after all. Except minor shaking, those hills were not literally broken down by waves of attacks from the Deity Transformation Period master.
With eyes closed, Xuan Lingzi was highly concentrated, leading his primordial life to fight against the spiritual power.
Starting from his body, ripples of nihility power gradually diffused around. When they were about to reach the hill of the Ku Mountain, those ripples would quietly dodge. However, as they drew nearer to the mountain in the farthest northeast, all of the power spilled towards to.
Suddenly, a white light shined brightly on the peak of the Ku Mountain.
Just in a trice, the light dimmed, yet followed by hundreds of old and fatigue sounds. They were like reminiscing, or recounting, or just sighing.
“How many years have passed?”
“Thirty thousand years I guess.”
“Is a there a human?!”
“Not over demons.”
“We have been sunk in sleep here for thirty thousand years, but finally a human takes advantage of us.”
“Anyway, the humans we know have all reincarnated or fallen into nothingness. Several days ago, I detected that even Mo Qing…had fallen into nothingness. He was the last one among all eighty-one humans.”
“Isn’t he the friend of Jiu Lian?”
“Jiu Lian? The cruel and unscrupulous liar!”
“Hahaha, Jiu Lian! You cheated us for thirty thousand years! You cheated us for thirty thousand years! I will kill you! I will kill you!”
……
“Thanks for your companion for thirty thousand years. Qiong Hua had collapsed last month, today I will follow her.”
“Humans have set powerful wards here to prevent our collapse.”
“We were such powerful ones when alive. If we collapse, we will cause devastating disasters to Xuan Tian Continent.”
“So what? It’s just another end. So, I’ll go now!”
“So do I.”
“And I.”
“We are not that non-conscience Jiu Lian. Since most of those humans have fallen into nothingness, we cannot lose our rightness either!”
In deep silence, hills in the mountain range shook slightly, and then the peace restored.
