Chapter 210 - The Millennium Covenant! (1/2)
Chapter 210 The Millennium Covenant!Being trapped in the Devil’s Cave, Zhang Yunyan could be killed at any time, so she had no time to think about what the evil stone would do to her later. For this moment, it was a good thing. Once she encountered those devils, she could fight back with the jade instead of being killed with no resistance as before.
It was a good idea which not only turned the harmful object into a harmless one, but also turned the evil stone into a protective object.
Although Zhang Yunyan only had a little internal strength, it was enough to activate the jade to perform the powerful magic. Her internal strength was like a small and thin fuse that could initiate the magic in an instant and release powerful energies.
With this “weapon”, she was able to face Jiuyou Sage and the devils. Even if she could not defeat them, she would no longer allow herself to be trampled upon.
Zhang Yunyan was also a little worried that although this idea was very good, it was hard to predict how it would work out. She didn’t know who would be controlled between her and the jade, and whether the jade was willing to be used.
Perhaps, Yunyan and it could control and use each other. If so, it was tragic for Yunyan, because she still could not avoid becoming the tool of the evil stone to kill others.
With the idea of using jade, Zhang Yunyan did not feel happy from her worries, but she was not that desperate. She would try every method to use the jade, and avoid being controlled by it to do anything against her own intention. She would never hurt Shikong.
As for this, Yunyan felt a little confident. The rest of her life was short, and in her short life, she might be able to make her wish come true.
Zhang Yunyan felt better, and she became a little calm.
Shikong also felt better and was no longer worried.
As their mood had changed, the mysterious cave seemed no longer so terrible, and the tense atmosphere was gradually disappearing.
These two people began to talk. The topic was still the mysterious jade. They were discussing how to turn disadvantage into advantage and avoid being controlled by the jade.
It was easier said than done. These discussions were just empty talk, and they still had to figure out the ways in practice.
Though they were of little use, these discussions had relieved both of their minds. They felt less nervous and became calmer.
After the surprising blow, the jade was quiet again with countless “colorful stars” disappearing. They had all returned to Zhang Yunyan’s body to stay for a long time and perhaps a lifetime.
The dim jade became calm and unremarkable. One person who had not seen it would have thought that it seemed ordinary, but it had magic that was powerful.
Looking at the jade, Shikong felt nervous and he uttered a sigh. Despite its small size, it was powerful which was surprising. Although he was still frightened, he became curious and was eager to discover the unknown secrets, even all the secrets.
The monk smiled bitterly, knowing that it was impossible. Even Yun Feiyan did not know the details of the jade.
Her benefactor had been connected to the jade, but she did not feel any secret, nor did she understand the origin of the jade. As the target of it, how could he discover the secret of the monster? It was pure wishful thinking.
Suddenly, Shikong thought of something and asked, “Have you read those words on the jade? What were these words about?”
Zhang Yunyan was reminded of a few lines of untidy handwriting, and she was a little dissatisfied with her carelessness.
She sighed and said, “I was so confused by the jade that I forgot about it. I’ll look at it now, and perhaps I can find some secrets in it.”
In the Cave of Fate, it was dim and without the colorful “stars” that were shining, the jade was too dim to distinguish.
Zhang Yunyan raised her right hand in front of her eyes, and could not see it clearly in the dark. The words carved on the jade were also indecipherable.
She did not give up and kept reading the words carefully. She also used her left hand to touch them from time to time, hoping to combine the sense of touch to find out what these words were.
After a while, Yunyan finally recognized these words. She touched them as she read:
“Heaven and Earth represent Yin and Yang which nourish fate.
The meeting is called fate.
The existence and disappearance of fate are determined by fate.
The return of fate is determined fate.”
“Oh, these four sentences are like a poem, and there is rhyme in them. Every line contains the word of fate, so it must have something to do with fate. What are the implications of these words?” Shikong said, wondering the implied meanings of the four sentences.
Zhang Yunyan was thinking about it, but she could not find the answer for the time being.
These four sentences did not seem to be difficult to understand, but she could understand the literal interpretations, and the hidden meanings were hard to understand.
These two people exchanged their understanding of the words to find the deep connotations, but there was still no conclusion.
“Determined by fate”, “determined fate…” Zhang Yunyan read them silently, and she seemed to have seen them before.
