A hand plunged into the heart of the snake corpse, constantly searching.
Yi Chen suddenly touched a hard, cubic crystal core, which seed like black jade on the outside, but the surface bore a faint, multicolored ghostly light, mysterious and divided.
"Wow, what is this, a colorful black...?"
Just then, an evil wind suddenly picked up, and a torrent of fragnted and turbulent mories rushed into Yi Chen's mind, swiftly flashing through scenes of the Le Buddha Monastery and the Serpent Empress's journey.
"Catastrophe-averting Celestial, Le Buddha Monastery, Serpent Empress, the valley town?"
Yi Chen's expression imdiately turned strange.
The evil wind emanating from the crystal core was actually the residual mories of souls devoured by the Serpent Empress along the way. After Yi Chen had killed her, stripping away the evil force's seal, their souls finally broke free from it and escaped.
The mories of Master Sanshu from Le Buddha Monastery were the most complete, allowing Yi Chen to roughly piece together what had happened.
"The family's honor sweeps the empty walls, idly sitting in a diligent state.
"Seeking the sound and sight beyond the exterior, at dawn the green mountains cry out with the cuckoos."
"Although this master didn't have the astonishing wisdom of a poor Daoist like , he was after all a person of deep feelings and loyalty. A Buddha friend, go well on your journey."
"Eh, Catastrophe-averting Celestial couldn't even avert his own catastrophe, truly a twist of fate."
Yi Chen sighed lightly and, guided by his senses, reached into the snake corpse once more, this ti pulling out a black jade bracelet.
Upon a spiritual probe, inside lay four fine Taoist instrunts—a bowl, a staff, a kasaya, and a red umbrella. Beyond these objects, a blue Star Disc lay quietly in a corner, collecting dust.
The red umbrella and the blue Star Disc were naturally the possessions of the Catastrophe-averting Celestial. Yi Chen thought for a mont and took out the tin staff he had earned from sharing his knowledge as well, tossing it aside. He summoned the Holy Halberd, speaking with distaste, "Holy Halberd, tidy this up. Look at you, you couldn't even catch soone else's tail and almost made a fool of your poor Daoist master~"
"Tidy up, then tidy up!" Considering the four Taoist instrunts, Holy Halberd's spirit was quite flexible.
A puff of golden mist sprayed from the Holy Halberd, engulfing the four instrunts. Seeing the in-progress work, Yi Chen turned his gaze toward the distance.
That was the direction of the caravan.
All of a sudden, from within the caravan's guards, a thin and weak young guard stood out and actually ca directly to Yi Chen, falling to his knees with a thud.
"The insignificant Zuo Qianfu lacks spiritual aptitude and wishes to embark on the path of the Dao, seeking the guidance of the elder."
Yi Chen did not speak, his gaze cold and indifferent, his icy glare causing sweat beads to form on the foreheads of the onlookers from a distance.
They couldn't understand why the usually silent and reticent guard would have such audacity to co forward seeking the Dao; the crowd felt uneasy just thinking about it.
Suddenly, an imnse pressure enveloped the young man before Yi Chen, and a crack appeared ten ters ahead of him.
"Co to the front and speak to ."
"It's the sa for everyone."
Having said that, Yi Chen ignored these people and, turning away, flicked his fingers, imdiately causing several 'seeds of fire' to land on the burning snake corpse.
"The eternally burning power of Pure Yang will surely cleanse all filth from this world."
The corpse of the Serpent Empress burned quite persistently, requiring the ti it takes to brew a pot of tea to be fully consud. The glaring red fire cast a reddish tint over Yi Chen's silhouette.
By the ti he turned back, many people behind him were already trying hard to walk forward.
Alas, even the person who made it the farthest only reached two ters, and the thin young man barely made it one ter. He lay prone on the ground, trembling, his fingers digging into the soil as he continued to strive forward with great effort.
Yi Chen walked towards the crowd and, after indulging in a mont of superiority, lifted Zuo Qianfu by his collar. With a wave of Extre Origin, he imdiately rolled up the Holy Halberd and the Taoist instrunts on the ground, sending them towards a distant valley.
Night fell, the waning moon hung high, and resentnt lingered among humanity.
Yi Chen arrived at the valley town massacred by the Serpent Empress, recited the scriptures for the deceased, while Holy Halberd persistently nibbled at the four Taoist instrunts.
A thin young man stood respectfully to one side, silent, with only his slightly trembling hands betraying his emotions.
After reciting the last scripture, Yi Chen turned and said to Zuo Qianfu, "Boy, are you happy?"
"Indeed, to be favored by the master is the greatest fortune of Qianfu." The young man's voice was slightly excited, "Is it perhaps that the master's wise eyes have discerned that Qianfu actually possesses so hidden divine constitution, or an Innate Taoist Body? Otherwise, why would the master look favorably upon Qianfu alone?"
"Then you're happy too soon, first of all, two things." Yi Chen held up two fingers, smiling, "First, I never said I'd take you as a disciple. If you dare to wield my na and cause trouble in the future, you'll surely die without a burial place."
"Second, you have a 'divine body'? Just a stubborn stone. I chose you because I liked the look of you, your stubbornness and fierceness are good. Although you didn't walk the farthest, you were the first to step forward, and you never gave up the fight. You have potential. I'm bored, and that's why I decided to give you a hand~"
"You don't need to thank for this opportunity that you seized yourself."
"But, Celestial, I can eat a lot but I'm always thin. Isn't that a natural anomaly?" Zuo Qianfu still seed unwilling to give up.
"Nonsense, you eat a lot but don't gain weight because you have a bad stomach. An anomaly my foot, hey, you've also got parasites, you fool."
"Ah? Without spirituality, how will the Celestial teach ?" Zuo Qianfu's eyes dimd.
