C168 Qiu Ye (1/2)
Wanxiang Cave, atop the cliff, a gust of wind blew past, hitting Fang Chen's face, as though it was a knife slashing across it.
Fang Chen felt pain all over his body, as he tried his best to absorb the wind elemental energy.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. There were only two days left until the deadline.
Fang Chen didn't have a clue about the Concept of Wind.
At this time, Fang Chen's mood was a little low.
However, just as a strong gust of wind blew past, with a boom, the entire cliff wall was instantly engulfed by a wild strong wind, directly blowing onto Fang Chen's body.
Bang
Fang Chen's body could not withstand the wind and directly fell off the cliff.
”How is this possible?”
Fang Chen's face was filled with disbelief as he stared at the top of the cliff.
Just at this moment, the wind on the cliff suddenly disappeared. Replacing it was an old figure who was sitting on top of the cliff with a hunched back.
”Who?”
Fang Chen slowly stood up, and when he saw the old figure atop the cliff, he was shocked, and couldn't help but cry out.
”You are not suited to study the Concept of Wind.” The elderly voice transmitted into Fang Chen's ears intermittently.
”Senior, who are you?” Fang Chen asked.
”Who I am is not important. The important thing is that I understand the Concept of Wind better than you do.” The elderly figure spoke slowly.
”Why am I not suitable to comprehend the Concept of Wind?” Fang Chen asked.
Crash …
This elderly figure stretched out his palm, and a ray of cyan light directly appeared within his palm. This was the Concept of Wind.
”Although I do not know why, I have a feeling that you are suitable for the Concept of Metal.” The old man said.
When Fang Chen saw the Concept of Wind in the old man's hands, he was shocked. Who exactly was this old man? Why was it hidden within the Wanxiang Cave?
”Senior, who exactly are you?” Fang Chen asked.
The old man, hearing this, was silent for a moment, then said, ”Autumn Leaf …”
Hearing the two words ”Autumn Leaf”, raging waves rose in Fang Chen's heart.
”How is this possible? How can you be Autumn Leaf?” Fang Chen cried out involuntarily.
Fang Chen had naturally heard of the name Autumn Leaf before. Back then, Autumn Leaf could also be considered to be an existence that shocked the entire Divine Wind Nation.
”The current Palace Chief of Divine Wind Sword Mansion?” Fang Chen exclaimed.
The current Palace Chief of the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, Qiu Ye, had unparalleled powers. Everyone thought that Qiu Ye was in closed door cultivation, but Fang Chen did not expect to see him in the Wanxiang Cave.
”Lord Autumn Leaf?” Fang Chen asked doubtfully.
The old man nodded, and said: ”That's right, I am the Palace Chief of Divine Wind Sword Mansion. For you to be able to enter the Wanxiang Cave, that means you have already become Divine Wind Sword Mansion's Heavenly King disciple, right?”
Fang Chen nodded, and the old man continued: ”When you entered the Divine Wind Sword Mansion, I started to pay attention to you. Even though I was unable to leave the Wanxiang Cave, I could see everything outside, including your examination before you entered the Divine Wind Sword Mansion.”
Fang Chen was shaken. What exactly was the reason why the Lord Autumn Leaf was trapped within the Wanxiang Cave?
”Lord Autumn Leaf, why are you trapped inside the Wanxiang Cave?” Fang Chen asked.
Hearing this, Autumn Leaf sighed, then said, ”After I succeeded the Palace Chief, I wanted to lead the Divine Wind Sword Mansion to the summit. After a few attempts, I entered the Wanxiang Cave by myself.
”However, I have thought of a crazy method. I absorbed every type of element aura in the Wanxiang Cave and gathered them within my body in order to soften them. But in the end, something failure occurred.” Autumn Leaf slowly said, his voice contained a trace of an ancient aura.
Fang Chen was shocked, this Lord Autumn Leaf was crazy, he actually wanted to gentle all of the elemental auras together.
It had to be said that Lord Autumn Leaf's idea was very bold.
”If it weren't for some secrets on my body, I would have died in the Wanxiang Cave long ago. Even though I survived in the end, I was heavily injured, and had been trapped in the Wanxiang Cave for so many years. Lord Autumn Leaf said in a deep voice.
After Fang Chen understood the sequence of events of this matter, the shock in his heart was unable to recover for a long time.
”All these years, I have been researching the Concept of Wind, my comprehension of it, is just too deep. The moment you stepped onto the cliff, I felt that there was a tyrannical power in your body, this power is not suitable for the Concept of Wind.” Autumn Leaf said.
Fang Chen fell into silence, and no longer spoke.
”Your talent is very good, I hope you don't bury your amazing talent.” Autumn Leaf continued.
”Lord Autumn Leaf, could it be that you have been trapped here the entire time and are unable to leave?” Fang Chen asked.
Hearing this, Autumn Leaf shook her head, and then said, ”I am getting older and older, and my body is getting weaker and weaker. If I don't recover from my injuries, I will never be able to step out of Wanxiang Cave.”
”You and I can be considered fated, so I'll give you some pointers.” ”If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me.”
”How can the Lord Autumn Leaf achieve compatibility between water and fire?” Fang Chen asked.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the Lord Autumn Leaf was startled, then asked: ”You want to fuse the two Concepts of Fire and Water?”
