Chapter 892: Chapter 60: Hou Chen, Land of Calamity
Under the Fiery Fla Domain, the Sword Burial Plane remains as always.
The chaotic places are still chaotic; the mystical places are still mystical.
Within the Yuan Ci Secret Realm.
Hou Chen dragged his exhausted body, standing lonely atop a towering mountain peak.
The mountain peak swept through the air, causing his snow-white long hair to flutter in the wind.
He occasionally coughed a few tis, large traces of blood spilled from the corners of his mouth.
Lately, Hou Chen often stood atop this mountain peak, frequently gazing into the distance.
The Master returned, but after fiercely battling the Jiang family, he departed again, leaving behind an endless prestige.
The Emperor Qi Sword Body erged once more, stirring the great montum of the world.
The decline of the Jiang family also beca a perennial topic of discussion among cultivators.
The Jiang family’s pursuit halted, they even suddenly sealed themselves off from the world, as if in a phase of self-cultivation and recuperation due to great losses of Primordial Energy.
But Hou Chen knew that things were far from simple.
Yet, he could do nothing, for he couldn’t even master his own life.
He had exhausted everything; now all his efforts were for naught because this damaged soul body left him waiting for death.
Hou Chen felt many reluctances, yet he had to face this cruel reality.
He was reluctant to part with Sisi, the Master, and even Uncle Zhou Gucheng.
But he had no path, no way forward.
Hou Chen sighed lightly, his voice sowhat forlorn.
In recent days, Hou Chen often sighed. When death approaches, many things beco clear and indifferent.
Many things hard to let go of can only turn into a helpless sigh.
Gazing into the distance, Hou Chen often recalled the past, rembered his master Zhou Yan, and then suddenly everything he once couldn’t understand beca easy to grasp.
Sotis death is a shortcut to rapid maturity.
But this shortcut to rapid maturity is often so cruel and harsh.
...
"What, no hope left? Are you planning to give up?"
Zhou Gucheng silently ca to Hou Chen’s side, speaking coldly.
"Give up? No, I have never given up, nor will I ever give up."
"The Master has returned, I am very happy. Just, not finding Sisi Sister, my heart is unwilling. But I am truly powerless now."
"I have exhausted everything, used all my strength in seeking progress and breakthroughs.
So, I do not regret.
I have not given up, just no longer have the ti to progress."
"But your words contain the sorrow of seeing through worldly affairs. Sorrow is a trait of the weak."
Zhou Gucheng mocked.
"No, Uncle, you are wrong. Because seeing through worldly affairs, one becos sorrowful. I am sorrowful for these Heaven and Earth rules as if they are imprisoned."
"I always wondered why we have to perceive Heaven and Earth rules? Why can’t we create Heaven and Earth rules?!
If I had ti, I would certainly create Heaven and Earth rules, create my own Heaven and Earth rules, rather than being led by the nose by them, like a pitiful beggar, a clown."
"My sighs are also due to lack of ti. Yet even so, as I stand here, upon this peak, I continue to contemplate a Dao, an ’One Qi Three Purities’ Dao."
"I know I have limited ti, yet my understanding has not ceased. I have no ti, but my family, friends, and even Master and Sisi Sister, they do."
"My Dao is not perfected, but if I truly go... this Dao will still continue."
"The Dao hasn’t been interrupted, so I have never given up."
Hou Chen spoke solemnly.
"Well said, Zhou Yan should indeed be proud and pleased with a disciple like you."
Suddenly, two figures appeared behind Hou Chen.
One of them, Hou Chen recognized well, was Zhuge Wuwei.
The other, Hou Chen gazed intently.
And it was that person who spoke.
"I am Hua Qiudao, a friend of your Master Zhou Yan. I ca this ti originally planning to save your life. But it seems I overthought, how could the clever Fellow Daoist Zhou Yan not leave a back path for his most cherished disciple? Actually, witnessing Zhou Yan observing the battle, I should have realized he certainly left precautions."
Hua Qiudao chuckled.
"Indeed, precautions were left long ago, but this Heavenly chanism nearly troubled
greatly."
Zhuge Wuwei smiled wryly.
"Elder Wuwei, what do you an? Could it be you..." Hou Chen exclaid in shock.
"Haha, indeed. Hou Chen, the path of training in these years, how do you feel? Great harvests, right?"
Zhuge Wuwei laughed.
"Elder Wuwei, are you saying that I still have a Lifebound Essence Soul left?!"
Hou Chen was utterly shocked.
Suddenly, he realized, finally relieved, and said, "I understand now! So all along I felt there was always a trace of deficiency, it originated from this! Moreover, no wonder after losing my Three Souls, you weren’t worried at all, instead, you let
fight desperately! No wonder the Jiang family couldn’t replicate my bloodline after taking my Three Souls, I never imagined it was due to this reason! Such a thod, truly remarkable, it must be the Master’s technique! Only the Master possesses such heaven-defying intelligence!"
Hou Chen’s voice was excited, filled with endless admiration and fervor, his eyes almost glowing like divine radiance.
"Indeed, back in the Yuan Ci Secret Realm, your master, the Saint Master, when he first taught you the Soul Slash skill, noticed the extraordinary yet impure characteristics of the Emperor Blood. Thus, during the Soul Slash, he detained sothing.
At that ti, he didn’t expect such a situation to occur and was rely worried that you couldn’t fully refine the Emperor Blood, which might result in death from explosion, so he made a reserve.
Fearing to discourage you and with the intention to temper you, when suppressing your bloodline with the sa bloodline power and teaching you the Soul Slash skill, he resorted to such a ans, severing a wisp of your most complete soul and a portion of the purest essence of the Emperor Blood, temporarily sealing it with the Soul Suppressing Technique.
Later, the Saint Master found
and instructed
to guard you. If one day you truly et your demise, and he has beco unreachable, then I would take you and, following the aura of the ’Throne,’ enter a Great Domain to avoid calamities.
Once settled, we would revive you."
"But unexpectedly, things have changed a bit; now, your soul body can no longer survive, so it’s ti to unseal your true Emperor Blood inheritance.
Combining it with the Soul Slash skill, you can imdiately recover as before. However, this is also your final inheritance, and if you encounter misfortune again, it truly would be beyond saving."
Zhuge Wuwei explained.
Only then did Hou Chen suddenly comprehend, finally understanding why his fusion with the Emperor Blood suddenly accelerated once he learned the Soul Slash skill! It turns out the core of the Emperor Blood, suppressed and extracted, was reserved as Lifebound Essence Blood for future contingencies.
Amongst the endless pain of Soul Slash, achieving this was indeed not difficult for the master.
Hou Chen was relieved, yet sighed with emotion, deeply moved.
It’s clear to see the painstaking efforts put into this.
"I originally ca with the intention of prolonging your life with rit Power, but it seems I worried for nothing. Let
tell you about sothing else instead."
At this mont, Hua Qiudao pondered and said.
"Senior... please speak."
Hou Chen hesitated slightly, bending to pay his respects.
"With rit Power, and with Fellow Daoist Zhuge Wuwei, I calculated the Heavenly chanism Skill. Through deduction of the forr ’Throne’ power, a Void Passage was discovered.
This should be a passage towards a Great Domain.
If you hold no attachnts, gather all your relatives and friends who can be gathered. Fellow Daoist Zhuge Wuwei and I will exert our power to bring the Yuan Ci Secret Realm into that passage, stepping into the Great Domain Fiery Fla Domain, for a genuine resurgence."
"Are you willing to go?"
"I..."
Hou Chen’s heart was moved, but he couldn’t part with a certain attachnt in his heart.
"As far as I know, the Demon Soul Palace and the Netherworld Palace have already gone to the Fiery Fla Domain. That’s why you haven’t heard any news about Sisi and them."
Zhuge Wuwei laughed.
"Ah—then I’ll go, I’ll go—"
Hou Chen hurriedly said, his anxious appearance causing Hua Qiudao and Zhuge Wuwei to laugh.
"This fellow Taoist—how did you discover the Void Passage? I’ve been studying Void and Thunder, yet found no trace. I hope for so guidance."
Zhou Gucheng hesitantly inquired.
He did not doubt, for those brought here by Zhuge Wuwei need no questioning.
He was just astounded by such a Tao.
It must undoubtedly be a formidable and imnsely powerful Tao.
"Nothing but a single damaged Immortal Weapon."
Hua Qiudao did not hide, directly unveiling the Linglong Tower, which emanated ancient aura, with stars, sun, moon, and celestial phenona manifested on it, appearing very frightening.
"Entering through this tower, then exiting, you pass through certain spatial passages, entering the Fiery Fla Domain. However, the Yuan Ci Secret Realm is sowhat special, and it’s still in testing and adjustnt, but the problem shouldn’t be large. As long as the spatial passage within the pagoda doesn’t experience unforeseen distortion, there should be no problem."
Hua Qiudao did not intend to hide, revealing his supre treasure, the Linglong Tower.
Upon its ergence, even Zhou Gucheng and Hou Chen were stunned.
After a long while, Hou Chen finally recovered, but his gaze flickered, seemingly contemplating sothing.
After a while, Hou Chen suddenly said, "Within the Emperor Blood, there are faintly mixed mories, which I had previously dismissed. But now, seeing this pagoda, I suddenly recall!"
Hou Chen suddenly exclaid.
Having seen through life and death, there wouldn’t be many things that could shock him.
But now, his shout was completely unmasked, startlingly abrupt.
"Hmm?"
Zhuge Wuwei and Hua Qiudao, Zhou Gucheng, all suddenly grew solemn, concentrating and holding their breath, their eyes fixed on Hou Chen.
"In a wisp of mory within the Emperor Blood, there’s the form of this tower—it seems to be called the ’Dark God Tower,’ presumably the Throne of the Dark God Domain."
"Dark God Domain?"
Zhuge Wuwei was also shocked.
"’Dark God Domain’? Such a strange na, yet why does it feel very familiar to ?"
The rit Power within Hua Qiudao suddenly heated, his brows furrowed deeply, unable to recall where he had encountered this ’Dark God Domain.’
But, as he struggled in vain for an answer, a vast rit Power, like a clear spring, suddenly poured into his soul.
In that instant, Hua Qiudao’s body trembled, exclaiming, "I understand! That’s the battlefield! The Silent Annihilation Battlefield of the Thirty-Three Heavens! The tribulation land of the Ten Thousand Buddhas’ Extinction and All Immortals Suffering!"
Hua Qiudao’s cry of astonishnt left Hou Chen and Zhuge Wuwei more baffled, both looking sowhat dumbfounded at Hua Qiudao.
"Apologies for Hua Qiudao’s abruptness, just realized a matter. Well, once we go to the Fiery Fla Domain, we will understand all the information regarding the ’Dark God Domain.’ Hou Chen, the Zhou Sisi you fancy, awaits you at the Fiery Fla Domain."
Hua Qiudao, concentrating and holding his breath, suppressed the overwhelming shock within his heart, yet his voice still trembled slightly.
He forcibly suppressed the sensation of shock and awe in his heart, joking with Hou Chen, rely to lighten the oppressive atmosphere a little.
