Hearing Tang Xiu’s words made Yang Chuxiong immediately realize that the geomancy array had been arranged successfully. Full of excitement on his face, he quickly issued an order for the soldiers to withdraw.
“All of them have withdrawn five kilometers, Mr. Tang.”
With the corners of his mouth raised, Tang Xiu’s feet stepped in midair as he paced forward dozens of meters up the coastline as if there were an invisible ladder in front of him.
“Heavens! W… What am I seeing now?!!”
Yang Chuxiong’s heart pounded quickly and his eyes went wide in amazement. He would have never believed that someone could walk in midair had he not witnessed it with his own eyes.
This… was he still a human?
In that instant, only then did Yang Chuxiong realize why this youngster he once held with contempt was sent by the First Leader of the country to solve the crisis in Mist Source Island. This young man was simply a god-like figure!
Tang Xiu was not aware of the shocked Yang Chuxiong, nor did he have the time to care about the man. His eyes gazed around and his hands slowly opened a moment after. In an instant, a suppressing aura suddenly erupted out of his body. Despite being one of the great personages in the country, Yang Chuxiong was suddenly frightened by the surging aura from Tang Xiu. At this moment, the sensation he felt from Tang Xiu was like a sudden emergence of a big mountain in front of him.
“Activate…”
A deep voice came from Tang Xiu’s mouth, along with the torrential power of Chaos Primal Force releasing from his hands and which instantly fused into the array midair. Suddenly, a rippling layer of qi emerged from the sky. Adorned, indistinct ancient runes appeared in the rippling air and then spread to both sides very quickly.
Ten minutes after.
Tang Xiu’s body suddenly trembled. His face turned very pale and his body quickly floated down. In the twinkling of an eye, he appeared in front of Yang Chuxiong. The moment his feet landed on the ground, he staggered forward for two steps as Mo Awu hastily rushed to support him.
“Boss…” A worried look crept over Mo Awu’s face.
Tang Xiu raised his hand, shaking his head and said, “I’m fine. It’s just that I’ve overdrafted my power. I’ll be fine after cultivating for two days. The area of Mist Source Island is too large and the energy required to activate the entire array is rather huge. It seems that my cultivation level is still not enough.”
“To be honest, your cultivation level is improving rapidly, Boss,” said Mo Awu with admiration. “I believe you’ll be able to reach a much higher level quickly.”
Tang Xiu smiled faintly. He looked at a stunned Yang Chuxion and said, “Division Commander Yang, the mission has been accomplished and the Feng Shui array has also been laid out and activated. The distance between these two pillars is 24 meters wide; these will act as the entrance to Mist Source Island. I’ll let you know how to open this entrance. Later, whoever you assign to be stationed in this place will have nothing to do with me. Also, I will let you know the position of the exit and then the rest of the minor matters will be yours to handle.”
While watching the corrugated qi flow that was slowly dissipating to be like before, Yang Chuxiong finally came back to his senses after the shock. He looked at Tang Xiu and replied, “I’ll arrange it, Mr. Tang.”
The next day.
Tang Xiu, Mo Awu, and the rest finally left Mist Source Island. He had only restored half of his Chaos Primal Force, but the weak sensation he had felt had completely vanished. He now stood on the bow of the ship while looking at the vast sea with a bit of a complicated expression on his face.
He recalled the tearful Tang Han who was reluctant to be left alone as he left the Tang Manor Martial School last night. At this moment, he mulled over the thought of what he would do after arriving in the mainland, like reporting and suggesting his idea about the matters on Mist Source Island when he met the old Patriarch. The present Tang Family was no longer the Tang Family in the past, for their family would be safe as long as he was still alive. Moreover, the projects in the Nine Dragons Island would be done within a few months. They could use it as the most important escape plan for the Tang Family.
“Are we going straight to Jingmen Island, Mr. Tang??” asked Zhenlei Duomo, who was clad in a black leather coat when she came to Tang Xiu’s side.
Tang Xiu looked at her face and indifferently said, “Indeed.”
“Can I see her soon?” she asked quickly.
Tang Xiu didn’t rush to answer but asked instead, “Zhenlei, what are people living for? What would you do if you were stronger?”
Zhenlei Duomo stared blankly and immediately fell into silence What was the point in living? Was it to live in happiness? What would she do if she were to have even more strength?
Would it be to have wealth and fortune? Or… would it be to have power and privileges?
She fell into thought for a long time, only to shake her head with an expression of being at a loss and said, “I don’t know. I only know that I just want to live, survive, and go on living. I just want to live better.”
“Only a handful of people can claim your life given your present strength. More so now that you are at the Foundation Establishment stage; you can even live much longer than ordinary people.” Tang Xiu spoke and asked again, “With such a long time to live, do you have anything to pursue?”
“What about you? Do you have something you want to pursue?” asked Zhenlei Duomo.
“You wanna know about my pursuits?”
There was somewhat a strange expression on Tang Xiu’s face as he replied slowly, “What I am pursuing is probably bigger than your pursuits, as I want to live as long as Heaven and Earth exist. I want to stand above the myriads of races. Maybe, I will become a God one day and ascend to God’s Realm just like those in the legends.”
Becoming a God in God’s Realm?
There was mockery on her face, for she never believed that there were immortals or gods in this world. If immortals and gods really existed, the Earth wouldn’t have turned out like this. Hence, she thought that Tang Xiu was indulging in his wildest fantasy and living in his own illusion!
