Chapter 492 - The Five Continents’ Barrier (1/2)
Edited Ea and NRose
Behind Sky Peak Sect was the sea, with waves cras.h.i.+ng on the bank. Lin Xuanzhi listened to the wind, birds, waves, and the flutter of b.u.t.terflies dancing around. He listened to the long sound of bells coming from nowhere, and finally set foot on the last step.
With the boundless sea in front of him and the mountains stretching for miles behind, the earth beneath his feet and the heavens above, Lin Xuanzhi held the Five Elements Converging Soul Plate in charge of life and death. Suddenly, his heart gave birth to an indescribable feeling of excitement and boldness. He remembered that many years ago, when he had repaired the Revert World Mirror in the soul plate, an abrupt existence appeared faintly in his consciousness.
“There are 3,000 roads in the Great Dao, and life and death depend on fate. By opposing the Dao of Heaven and changing your life, cause and effect will be inverted, you shall part forever, and the life stars will fall into chaos. Are you ready for that?”
Lin Xuanzhi’s heart did not fluctuate at all, but asked lightly, “Will I die?”
That consciousness said, “The Dao of Heaven will always give life to those who are at the end of the road. Life and death are fated. You should think of yourself.”
Therefore, when the Revert World Mirror was about to be opened, a thousand words condensed into one meaning in Lin Xuanzhi’s sea of knowledge.
Obliteration.
Once he used the mirror and went against the Heavens, he would be completely obliterated by the Dao of Heaven. He didn’t know what it meant to be erased, but he firmly let the Revert World Mirror take him back to the past.
He returned to the fighting arena of Qing City. When he was almost beaten to death, a boy whose entire heart thought of him sold off the white tigers that had accompanied him for many years and exchanged them for money to save his life. When he opened his eyes and vaguely saw the image of a tender little face full of worries, he knew that his long-cherished wish had been achieved, even if he paid the price with his life.
At the same time, it wasn’t like he didn’t think about what would happen if he treated Yan Tianhen very well and made Yan Tianhen fall in love with him again like in the previous life. If he then cruelly left him forever, was this fair to Yan Tianhen?
But after thinking for a long time, Lin Xuanzhi finally figured it out. He had already died, so what was the point of thinking so much? The Five Elements Converging Soul Plate was thrown in the air, and the originally palm-sized soul plate suddenly grew extremely large, almost covering the sky and blocking the sun.
Then the Four Directions Seal, Yin Yang Umbrella, Twin Lotus Lamp, and Heavenly Thunder Tripod were also thrown into the air one by one. The four magic weapons spun in hundreds of circles under the soul plate, and finally found their respective directions, settling in the grooves of East, South, West, and North— the four directions. At this moment, a huge sound came from the sky, and the entire Five Continents seemed to be shaking violently. Many houses collapsed to the ground, and countless trees were uprooted and destroyed. Tsunamis suddenly gushed, and Lin Xuanzhi raised one of his hands to erect an invisible wall in front of him, completely stopping the tsunami that was about to flood the whole Sky Peak city.
The sky was overcast with thunder and lightning, heavy rain pouring down. However, at this time, a thick thunder strike fell from the sky and struck at the zenith of Lin Xuanzhi’s head, penetrating throughout his entire body. He suddenly burst apart into pieces, turning into b.l.o.o.d.y rain and dissipating in the air.
“Dag—-!” Yan Tianhen was clearly seen in the mirror. He was stunned at first, then realized something, and suddenly cried bitterly. “You son of a b.i.t.c.h, you liar, Lin Xuanzhi!”
He vomited a mouthful of blood and was knocked out.
Everyone was astonished. No one could have imagined that Lin Xuanzhi would pay such a price.
To die and end one’s Dao; to die for a just cause.
Yan Zhonghua lightly sighed.
Unlocking this barrier could never have been done so easily. After all, when the Five Continents was sealed, four of the five great powers fell to the afterlife or were seriously injured from it.
This situation did not last long, but gradually calmed down after the smoke of Lin Xuanzhi’s death. The fallen trees sank into the soil and broke out at the speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, they grew into towering green trees with birds tweeting and summer cicadas chirping. The clouds of vitality reappeared, and the sun showed a golden awn. Every dead person in all corners of the Five Continents was reborn, and their cultivations inexplicably improved a lot. It seemed that this was a blessing given by the Dao of Heaven.
All living beings were born facing Yang.
Suddenly, a purple thunder exploded down in the east, and the roar was deafening. Everyone looked toward the east.
Under 81 strikes, a laugh wandered from the sky of the Five Continents, followed by a golden light that rushed up and disappeared into the sky.
By the time this kind of magnificent spectacle died down, it was already after March. The barrier was completely broken, and his mission had been completed.
You Ming laughed heartily. He was drunk on a balcony, raising his cup to invite the moon and dancing to his own shadow. Rarely did Yan Zhonghua see him so happy and wanton, You Ming jumping around on the ground, bare feet, before finally turning and falling into his arms.
Yan Zhonghua encircled his slender body, listening to his soft and coquettish tone, “I really love you so badly that my heart hurts.”
Yan Zhonghua kissed You Ming’s cheek and said, “When you ran, you never thought whether I’d be heartbroken.”
You Ming tightly hugged Yan Zhonghua’s neck and sobbed. “I will never leave you again, never leave you again, n—”
Yan Zhonghua said, “If you dare to run again, I will break your legs and tie you to the bed.”
On the second day, Hai Kuanglang came with Zhan Fengting to bid farewell to Esteemed Lan Yue. “Master, Martial Uncle, I’m going to leave the Five Continents today.”
Hai Kuanglang saluted Esteemed Lan Yue and You Ming and grinned. “I came here to say goodbye to you first.”
Esteemed Lan Yue looked at him and Zhan Fengting and nodded. “After returning to the Nine Lands, go back to Fuyao Sect first. Your Martial Uncle and I will go back in a few days. If we don’t see you then, be careful of your b.u.ms.”
You Ming also nodded, and his eyes rolled a few times, saying, “I haven’t returned to Fuyao Sect for many years. I’m afraid my house has already become dusty, so please help me clean it by the way.”
When Hai Kuanglang’s smile stiffened, he had to answer with unshed tears, “Don’t worry, Master and Martial Uncle, this disciple will sweep it clean and won’t run away.”
Zhan Fengting chuckled. “I will definitely watch Little Lang for Master and Martial Uncle.”
At this time, Yan Tianhen ran in and saw Hai Kuanglang and Zhan Fengting. He smiled. “Eldest Martial Brother, Second Elder Martial Brother, are you here to say goodbye?”
They both nodded together.
Hai Kuanglang raised his eyebrows. “Younger Martial Brother, if you come with me, Elder Martial Brother will take you all over the East Lands.”
Without waiting for Yan Tianhen to answer, You Ming sneered. “You want to kidnap my son in front of me. I think you need to sweep clean the entire Fuyao Sect!”
Hai Kuanglang dared not even talk. At the same time, he thought that there was still such a father who treated his child like his life. He didn’t know whether younger martial brother could find a Dao companion smoothly in the future.
Yan Tianhen said with a smile, “I’ll go back to the Purple Emperor’s Heavenly Capital with my father and dad first. I haven’t seen it for many years, and I still miss it very much. I don’t know what happened to my playmates when I was a child.”
Yan Zhonghua looked warmly at him. “They all miss you very much. The Gu family’s boy is doing fine, and although the Qi family’s boy is naughty, his cultivation has never been hindered.”
You Ming said, “The boy of the Qi family lingers among the flowers every day and has almost slept all over the pink field. Don’t let Ah Hen contact him, he will be a bad influence to our family’s Ah Hen!”
Yan Tianhen rolled his eyes. “All that glitters is not gold. Little Qi was a round, fat fellow at the beginning, like a dumpling.”
Yan Zhonghua said, “Now he has lost a lot of weight. I am afraid that if you see him now, you will not recognize him.”
Yan Tianhen couldn’t wait to leave the Five Continents and go to the Nine Lands to meet his old friends. At this moment, a gorgeous man with bare feet and wearing a wide robe walked in. He looked around the happy crowd and asked, “What about Lin Xuanzhi?”
“Senior Yin.” Even You Ming dared not make a mistake in front of this person. After all, this was an ancestor-level Divine Devil.
