Chapter 175: Five Acts of Heaven Soul
Seeing such a heroic utterance, Lyu Liang was stunned. He thought, “Immortal Emperor? What level is this cultivator at? It seems that he’s the owner of this mausoleum. As I know, the highest level is Divine Ancestor. Could he be even superior to a Divine Ancestor?”
“The book…” Zhu Yan’s words interrupted Lyu Liang’s thinking, drawing his attention to this mysterious book.
“Just take a look!” Before Lyu Liang could stop her, Jiawen took the book from the elder’s hands directly…
Fortunately, nothing weird happened. Both Lyu Liang and Zhu Yan sighed with relief.
“What! There’s nothing on it! Is it a joke?!” Liu Jiawen glanced over it, then she pouted her lips.
Zhu Yan took the book, and studied it for a moment before giving it to Lyu Liang. He asked resignedly, “What do you think?”
The moment Lyu Liang touched the book, a quiver occurred deep in his soul. Something seemed to be awakened in his body.
Lyu Liang leafed through the book subconsciously, and found that there were many complicated, obscure patterns in it. After looking at them for half an hour, he felt that something was wrong because he couldn’t look away from the book!
At the same time, a strange voice sounded in his Divine Soul: “The blood of the Immortal Emperor’s True Spirit has appeared. The seal of the Soul Book could be removed!”
“Hey! Idiot! What’s the matter? Have you really become an idiot? How could you be obsessed by the book without saying a word?” Looking at Lyu Liang, who was staring at the book, Liu Jiawen felt that something was strange.
However, Lyu Liang didn’t make any response, but instead, he put his hand on the elder’s head suddenly. Seeing that, Liu Jiawen was shocked and reached out subconsciously to drag Lyu Liang away.
“Wait! That could be an opportunity for him. Look!” With his eyes fixed on Lyu Liang, whose body was glistening brightly, Zhu Yan stopped her immediately.
At that moment, a strange voice came from Lyu Liang’s mouth. He was reading an obscure incantation in a language that didn’t belong to this world.
“Ah! Could his soul have been overtaken?!” Liu Jiawen was so anxious that she broke away from Zhu Yan’s hand and seized Lyu Liang by his arm directly.
However, Lyu Liang planted himself on the ground and didn’t move at all! And the moment Liu Jiawen touched Lyu Liang, she was thrown back by a mighty force. If Zhu Yan hadn’t caught her from behind, she would have fallen down the platform.
Just when Liu Jiawen was rather anxious, Lyu Liang’s voice resounded. “I’m fine. Wait for a moment! Don’t approach me!”
Liu Jiawen stared at Lyu Liang with her eyes open wide because Lyu Liang hadn’t moved his lips at all. She rubbed her eyes and asked Zhu Yan suspiciously, “Did that idiot talk just now?”
Zhu Yan nodded and, with both excitement and amazement in his eyes, said softly, “I never expected that his Divine Soul power was so mighty. In theory, only cultivators above the Tao Master level can utter through the Divine Soul, but he can do that now, even though he doesn’t meet the standard. This is so interesting!”
Lyu Liang had regained his consciousness, but he enjoyed the feeling so much. When he read the incantation, his Divine Soul power doubled in an instant.
The patterns in the book had been carved into Lyu Liang’s Divine Soul. After a moment, he was surprised to find that these patterns recorded a powerful move, and he could trigger them with merely the Divine Soul power!
Some sort of Spiritual Qi kept coming from the elder’s body into his. Anyway, it was much stronger than the Devil Immortal Qi.
Lyu Liang cried out the words because he wanted to reassure his companions, and he knew that he would soon break through to the next stage!
After 30 minutes, a colorful cloud appeared above him and infused into his body slowly. The whole process lasted for almost half an hour.
At the same time, the lights on the elder and Lyu Liang disappeared. Lyu Liang opened his eyes and looked at the elder gratefully. Then, he knelt on the ground and made three kowtows, which was the standard rite to acknowledge someone as a master.
At that moment, a slight smile appeared on the elder’s expressionless face, and he also nodded inconspicuously before he turned into light spots and flew away. At the same time, the book floated away from Lyu Liang’s hands and gradually disappeared.
“You… acknowledge this corpse as your master?” “He, he even smiled and nodded at you? Oh my god! Is that so?!” Liu Jiawen went closer and looked Lyu Liang up and down to check whether he was okay or not.
Lyu Liang stood up with a smile and said softly, “Let’s go. Leave this place!”
Only Lyu Liang knew what an immense opportunity he had just gotten. His cultivation had improved to the Early-stage of Xuan Immortal, and he didn’t even put on the Spirit Armor.
What was more delightful was that his Divine Soul power had almost reached the Heavenly Master level, and he had learned a new mighty move, the Five Acts of Heaven Soul, which had been mentioned in the philosophical saying!
Lyu Liang had mastered the first act, the Soul Breaking Palm. As for the other four acts, he had to learn them some other day through closed-door meditation. Besides, although his Divine Soul power had become much stronger, he could barely meet the requirement for the second move.
Anyway, he felt deeply indebted to the elder, who claimed to be Immortal Emperor Xiaoyao and had taught him such a formidable move. Although he didn’t know why he was chosen, he would cherish this precious opportunity!
Therefore, it was reasonable for Lyu Liang to acknowledge the elder as his master. But he couldn’t explain it to anyone else because he had sworn to keep it a secret in his Divine Soul.
And although neither the elder nor the book had told him the way out, Lyu Liang just knew it in an instant.
Lyu Liang asked Liu Jiawen and Zhu Yan to stand in the center of the platform. Then, a strong aura of the Divine Soul burst out from him and turned into an enormous, hazy handprint, which pressed forward into the dark space in front of them directly.
Then, a violent shake occurred in the vacant darkness. It seemed that the handprint was trying to push against some hindrance, which instead, resisted the attack toughly.
Just when the three of them thought that the handprint had prevailed over the hindrance, an emotionless voice resounded through the whole space: “The core sealed area is destroyed. Launch the first defense!”
Those three were stunned and got a bad feeling. At the moment, Zhu Yan cried out hastily, “Gosh! The corpses are revived!”
Hearing his words, Lyu Liang and Liu Jiawen looked back and found those corpses were rising slowly and began turning toward them.
Seeing that, Lyu Liang was significantly shocked. According to that emotionless voice, these corpses were apparently commanded to deal with them! He knew that any one of these powerful figures would exhaust him, let alone two, three, or even a thousand! As such, he would only be killed at once!
Lyu Liang became rather anxious because he had never expected that his method would put all of them in danger. In this critical moment, he waved out two huge handprints immediately, which was all he could do with his Divine Soul power!
The three handprints pushed forward at the same time, and the shake of the space became much more violent. A black spot seemed to emerge, which suggested that there could be a space swirl.
“Gosh! They’re coming! You go first! I’ll bring up the rear! I will go find you through the space method!” With a roar, Zhu Yan turned into a huge firebird at once, spurting fire at the front, which formed into an immense wall of flames.
At the same time, the three handprints disappeared in a rumble, and a pitch-black swirl emerged. Lyu Liang knew at once that this was the only way out.
Liu Jiawen was still stunned, but Lyu Liang grasped her hand and took her into the swirl without hesitation. Seeing that, Zhu Yan gave a deep sigh with relief in his eyes.
Several corpses at the Heavenly Master and Supreme Master levels even ignored Zhu Yan, and rushed at the swirl! At that moment, an enormous blood moon blocked them in front of the swirl. Then, with an earthshattering crackle, the swirl was destroyed by the self-explosion of the blood moon!
With a bright flash, the firebird turned into a black shadow and disappeared…
…………………………
On a mysterious land in the space of Goddess Nyu Wa, five elders were gathering around a huge tombstone, on which there was a large crack. They had different looks, and among them, Tai Su Ancestor Lord and Tai Chu Ancestor Lord were also there.
“The sealed tombstone has been further destroyed. I’ve never expected that, in addition to Zhu Yu, Lyu Liang is also being used by those people! Alas! A mistake is enough to bring us into an irretrievable situation!”
“The strength of those two guys is great enough to break the two seals. But we don’t need to worry too much because it’s our Master who guards the third seal, and even those people may fail to break it!”
“Do you remember what our Master and that powerful figure said? They said that everything moves in its own course, and that the younger generation shouldn’t bear the resentment of the last era. Even if all the seals are destroyed, it is our own business. Besides, except for Earth, we can still negotiate with the others. After all, we have the same enemies.”
“Tai Chu is right! Let us see how far these little guys can reach! Although the enemies were all sealed into another space in that war, the cost was tremendous! Several powerful figures at the Emperor level were also sealed inside, or even destroyed. Even now, the survivors are suffering from the endless, destructive oppression. And we can do nothing, constrained by the Law of Heaven.”
“Yes. Our Master only required us to guard the tombstone, and he didn’t let us intervene in this thing. As such, he might have anticipated such a possibility. I only worry about Earth. He’s too stubborn about the past. If we can’t reach an agreement with him, there might be a fierce war in the space of Goddess Nyu Wa, when the Core Space of Remote Antiquity appears again!”
“Tai Yi is right. We need to take precautions for such a possibility! Fortunately, we still have time to prepare for that. There will soon be a gathering for the Remote Antiquity families. Let’s attend it together and discuss this thing with them.”
“We’re getting along well with Sun, and Tai Chu once saved his life. Let’s start with him, so that we can constrain Earth a little bit. After all, although Earth is hot-tempered, he listens to his eldest brother.”
“All right! If those guys don’t want to compromise, I don’t mind doing some exercises after 100 million years! Anyway, it’s so boring to guard a tombstone for such a long time. Just let us settle all of this! I would say, even if we exerted all our forces at that time, the result would be better than sealing our enemies up at the sacrifice of those Emperor-level figures! If so, we needn’t have discussed these problems now!”
“Our Master and other powerful figures must have their long-term concerns. Now that things have happened, we’ll just accept it naturally. Let’s wait and see how things will go regarding these two seals. We also need to remind those old guys in the space of Goddess Nyu Wa not to stop things from happening. Anyway, they will come to us in the end.”
“Now that we’ve agreed on it, let’s just put this thing aside. I’m more concerned about the Hell Organization. It seems that they are behind every incident in the Chaotic World, but they are hiding too well to be discovered!”
“Yes! I agree with Tai Su! Besides, every time the Heavenly Alliance learned something about them, they were aware of it even before the Heavenly Alliance could make any response. I still suspect that there’s something wrong with the Remote Antiquity families!”
“Those old guys of the Heavenly Alliance are also aware of it. But except for the Donghuang family, the other families’ statuses remain unshakable! Probably, just as Tai Chu deduced, the key to the Hell Organization is on Lyu Liang’s hand. Let’s wait and see what kind of surprise he will bring to us!”
