Chapter 1050: Chapter 344: Rescued Chapter 1050: Chapter 344: Rescued Outside Chaochang City
Yanshan approached from a distance, a figure appearing several ters away with each step he took. Although his steps seed slow, they were incredibly fast, and in no ti at all, he arrived outside the thatched cottage on the Wilderness to see a face full of lancholy, Brother Tian.
Having seen Yanshan arrive, Brother Tian hurriedly gathered up the ethereal cloud clusters and stood up to pay his respects, saying respectfully, “Master Yanshan!”
After nodding slightly to Brother Tian, Yanshan turned his attention to Tang Luo, whose physical body was torn and shattered. Just one glance set off a trendous tremor in the Peeper of Prophecy.
He saw the divine symbols filled with martial will of the King Realm, he saw the battlefields strewn with mountains of corpses and seas of blood, he saw the entire world falling into chaos, with Spirit Arts crisscrossing that eclipsed the sun and the moon, with people displaced, and holy lands crushing each other.
The pillars of heaven collapsed, Longzhou sank, and countless billions of creatures were left without a place to bury their dead.
This was one aspect of the future glimpsed by the Peeper of Prophecy, and at the heart of this storm was the young martial artist lying broken before them.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
Brother Tian, puzzled, looked at the transfixed Yanshan and asked.
“It’s nothing.”
Suppressing the shock in his heart, Yanshan knelt down to examine Tang Luo’s injuries with his Divine Eye, and couldn’t help but turn pale.
The ultimate reach of the Divine Eye is to understand the causation behind the phenona witnessed by the enlightened Buddhas in all ten directions. Although Yanshan’s cultivation of the Divine Eye wasn’t quite so profound, he could discern the great from the subtle, capable of predicting the fall of a leaf in autumn from a single glance.
With just one look, he saw not only the cause of Tang Luo’s injuries but also sothing far more serious.
The soul was annihilated, and as the Power of Returning Ruins burst forth, Tang Luo first destroyed the Undying Battle Body formation within his body.
Yet for him, who had completed the cultivation of a fifth-grade Divine Array and even unlocked the Divine Storage, unless he destroyed all supernatural powers like the Void Dual Wheels, the Void Stomach, the Yin-Yang Grinding, there would be no way to erase all traces of the Undying Battle Body. He had thought that if his soul were obliterated, these powers would naturally dissipate along with his life, but now, still alive, he allowed Yanshan to see his true foundation.
Such a young cultivator of the fourth-grade Undying Battle Body must undoubtedly be a direct descendant of the Han Family!
No wonder he could see endless mountains of corpses and seas of blood. No wonder he could peek at the entire disturbance of Xiehe. So this was the reason.
“Master, can he be saved?”
Brother Tian’s voice awoke the preoccupied Yanshan, yet such a simple question left this profoundly wise Buddha Son unsure of how to answer.
To save or not to save was no longer a question of the injuries at this mont, but rather the cause and effect that this young man carried, potent enough to shake Xiehe!
The revelations from the Peeper of Prophecy were becoming ever more intense, but Yanshan was filled with doubt.
The future is constantly changing, so even the highest realm of the Peeper of Prophecy, the ability to see the future is only a glimpse of one facet.
Every present mont affects the face of the future, and it is precisely because the future is endlessly changing that Yanshan began to doubt the predetermined cause and effect of reincarnation.
Therefore, even with the foresight of the Peeper of Prophecy, he didn’t know whether saving the man before him would plunge the entirety of Xiehe into boundless turmoil, or whether allowing him to die would sohow stabilize Xiehe.
At this mont, he seed to stand at the crossroads, one leading to a chaotic Xiehe. Yet, the sad thing was he had no idea which path it was.
So having the ability to see destiny doesn’t an one can defy and change it. Often, it only serves to add to one’s troubles.
But even as Yanshan struggled with the dilemma, this vexing choice would not halt its relentless advance due to his anguish.
Without swift aid, the young man before him, with his shattered body, was surely dood. This was, in essence, leaving the decision of which path to take in the hands of the heavens.
Tang Luo’s breath grew fainter and fainter, and the bewildered, conflicted, and pained Yanshan finally made a decision!
“How can one ferry others to salvation if not part of the world, and how can one save the world if not saving its people?”
A stream of Cihang Treasure Light rose behind Yanshan, evenly sprinkling down onto Tang Luo’s fragnted physique like water, the torn flesh touched by the life-baring and compassionate Divine Light, gathering and knitting together.
But Tang Luo’s injuries were too severe. Even for a suprely holy light like the Cihang, it could not achieve instant effectiveness—because the force that had torn his flesh to such an extent was from the desolate Power of Returning Ruins.
The Divine Light shone for a good half-quarter of an hour before ceasing. Yanshan then turned to Brother Tian, “This little monk has now stabilized the injured’s physical body. Let’s take him back to Fuyun Temple first.”
“Let’s do as the master suggests.”
Brother Tian nodded, lifted Tang Luo’s body on a cloud of vapor, and followed Yanshan back to Fuyun Temple, where they settled Tang Luo in a secluded and quiet side room.
After all, it was once a prospering and magnificent temple, and although it was now deserted and no longer the focus of eager pilgrims, the temple was still vast in scale, easily accommodating a thousand people without issue.
After administering yet another treatnt, Yanshan exited the side room only to encounter an impatient fatty and a worried Brother Tian.
“Master, how is he?”
Yanshan glanced at the fatty. Brother Tian imdiately understood and coughed softly, “Fatty, stay here and keep watch. If anything happens, let us know imdiately in the front hall. You’ve worked hard all day; I’ll make so vegetarian food for you and the master!”
Upon hearing about vegetarian food, the fatty’s eyes suddenly bulged excitedly and he swallowed noisily, “Really, Brother Tian?”
“What else? Keep a good watch here.”
After instructing the fatty, Brother Tian left the secluded side room with Yanshan.
Having walked a good distance from the side room, Brother Tian stopped in front of a secluded temple hall and turned to Yanshan, “Master, do you have sothing to tell ?”
“Indeed,” Yanshan nodded, “This person carries a Four Spirits Divine Symbol that was placed by King Realm. The symbol consus the spiritual power of stars and is mysteriously resonating with another Divine Symbol, which is closely approaching Chaochang!”
“A Divine Symbol by King Realm?”
The throbbing Demon Heart had already indicated the young man’s extraordinary origin, yet no matter how much Brother Tian speculated, he had never imagined that such a young warrior could have entangled himself with an existence like King Realm.
As Yanshan and Brother Tian discussed fervently, they did not realize that Tang Luo had already awakened and heard every word of their conversation.
Perhaps in their eyes, soone as gravely injured as Tang Luo should have long since lost consciousness. However, whether it was Brother Tian’s assistance or Yanshan’s rescue, he rembered it all clearly.
He had thought he had finally found a reprieve from danger, yet to his dismay, the Four Spirits Divine Symbol inside his body had not been destroyed by the Power of Returning Ruins but instead had beco the key to exposing him.
Looking at it this way, not only was his own demise certain, but he would also endanger the two life-saving benefactors from the temple.
This was an outco he simply could not accept.
Despite having received treatnt from the Cihang Treasure Light twice, his body was still riddled with gaping wounds. While from the outside it looked only like his body was covered in cracks, internally, his ridians were completely severed—he couldn’t even move a finger now.
