Chapter 319 - Disasters Everywhere (1/2)

Chapter 319 Disasters Everywhere“Brother Xiao Chen! It’s your turn to receive the prize!”

Awaken, Xiao Chen walked to the stage. He first bowed to the awarding elders and then asked, “Where did Immortals’ League find this zither?”

The elder smiled and said, “It was found by a Chief of the Immortal’s League several years ago. Unfortunately, no one has been able to play it. The last time young hero Xiao was able to play this divine zither, it must have been that you’re fated to it.”

Xiao Chen silently took over Jade Zither and stoke the D sharp major with a finger. Immediately, rays of light covered the area and the surrounding vital force surged, even the podium was shaken. The two elders quickly said, “Young hero Xiao, stop!”

Xiao Chen then realized what he was doing, and gradually released the string and put the zither into the Divine Vessel. He once again bowed at the two elders and said, “I have to thank the Immortals’ League, for this zither is extremely important to me.”

The reason why he wanted the Fuxi Zither back was not only to slow down the speed of the Evernight Soul power dispersing. It was mainly because Fuxi Zither would be his last card when he ever encountered Qianyu Nishang in the future.

An elder stroked his beard and smiled, saying, “Young hero Xiao doesn’t have to be courteous, and this is what you deserve.” Several elders on the high platform also looked at each other and thought, “This boy is an unusual being and the only person able to play the Fuxi divine zither.”

Xiao Chen was about to turn around when another elder called out, “Wait, there is one more thing.” Then he handed him a moldy book and said, “This is a practice that was passed down from ancient times. “”

The crowd below all revealed the envious eyes when they heard it was a book of an ancient cultivation method. The Fuxi Zither was dispensable to them, but an ancient cultivation method was hard to come by. Since the last Cultivation Era, those exquisite methods had gradually disappeared. One would eventually become a hegemon if acquired a book of ancient Mystic Skill.

Xiao Chen accepted the booklet, bowed and left the stage. The award ceremony was over. Xiao Chen returned to the yard and read a few pages of this so-called ancient cultivation method. He was already studying the Mystic Cyan Sect skills and should not be mixing skills from other sects. Therefore he did not intend to practice the methods in the book.

However, he often saw the word “heartless” in the book. He wondered if this book was part of the Heartless Mystic Skill. Hence he started to study it in detail, but until sunset, he was still unable to find the solution for the Heartless Curse.

With a sigh, Xiao Chen put away the booklet. Xin’er recently had a huge change with her temperaments, and it must be because the Heartless Mystic Skill she studied was incomplete. As he thought of this, he stood up and went outside the yard.

Near the courtyard of the Heartless Palace, two female disciples stopped him, and one of them said coldly, “What are you doing here!”

Xiao Chen said apologetically, “I am looking for…”

“Leave. The Empress will not see you!” Another person shouted.

“What’s the clamor?” At this time, a girl in a green robe came from the back. It was Chu Lingjiao. Chu Lingjiao looked at the two and said, “Both of you step back first.”

“Yes!” The two female disciples bowed and immediately left.

Chu Lingjiao looked up at Xiao Chen and said faintly, “You should go; she won’t see you.”

Xiao Chen sighed. “Alright then.” Then he took out the booklet and handed it to Chu Lingjiao, said, “Please give this to her.”

Chu Lingjiao took the booklet, casually looked at it and said, “Sure.”

“Then I shall go,” Xiao Chen said as he turned around and went back the way he came from. After Chu Lingjiao could not see him anymore, she opened the booklet and read a few pages. She cried, “This!”

Then she quickly covered her mouth and looked at the left and right in a panic. When she saw that no one was around, she quickly pinched a spell and kept the booklet into her Divine Vessel.

…

The next day, a piece of shocking news broke away in Tianyuan City, and it spread like a fire. In less than half a day, it had spread to the various streets and alleys.

In the desolate area on the border of the five continents, a deep devilish abyss was discovered. The hundreds of kilometers around it were covered by Devil Qi. Those who went close to it were all infected by the Devil Qi before turning into a devil.
