Chapter 83 Flame
Flames surged violently around him, and he let out a threatening growl.
Ximen Yu chuckled lightly.
He slowly reached out and stroked its head.
Surprisingly,
The normally ferocious fire qilin did not resist.
She stood quietly, letting him touch her.
Even the flames on his body became gentle.
When Ximen Yu extended his palm, the Fire Qilin dodged in panic as if it had encountered a natural enemy.
"His aptitude is decent, but unfortunately he has been corrupted by violence for too long, resulting in mental confusion and a violent temperament."
"You're lucky."
With a couple of light strokes, the Fire Qilin showed a hint of enjoyment, which made Ximen Yu shake his head and chuckle.
With a casual flick of his wrist, a pill appeared out of thin air in his palm, its delicate fragrance filling the air.
The fire unicorn's nostrils twitched, its spirits suddenly lifted, and its eyes were fixed on the elixir, filled with longing.
"Greedy fellow."
Ximen Yu smiled helplessly and flicked the pill with his finger.
Without hesitation, the fire qilin opened its mouth and swallowed the pill. The pill transformed into a clear stream that cleansed its entire body, and its originally chaotic mind was instantly cleared.
"Wait here."
Patting its head, Ximen Yu stepped straight into the cave.
The cave's passageways are crisscrossed, making it difficult to discern directions.
Fortunately, the passage that the fire qilin had just rushed out of still retained some warmth.
Xi Menyu walked slowly with his hands behind his back, going deeper into the passage.
The dark passageway seemed endless, yet he walked with composure.
In a short while, the view suddenly opened up before me—
A sunken underground palace came into view.
The underground palace is divided into two levels:
The upper level is marked with the paths to the Lingyun Cave maze;
The lower level is divided into nine areas, each depicting mountains, rivers, birds, and animals.
Upon closer inspection, the nine shapes correspond one-to-one with the topography of Kyushu, and when pieced together, they form a complete map of Kyushu!
In the center of the underground palace, a high platform stands.
The tombstone and the throne stand side by side on the platform, as if they were one—the tombstone is just like the back of the throne.
On the throne lay a mysterious object resembling a skeleton.
Beneath the throne lay the enormous remains of a Qilin. Compared to it, the fire Qilin they had encountered earlier seemed like a toddler learning to walk.
"Could this be the fire qilin that accompanied Emperor Xuanyuan in his conquest of the world?"
Ximen Yu focused his senses and felt that even after so many years, the remains of the Qilin still exuded a suffocating aura. He turned his gaze to the throne, and as expected, this should be the legendary dragon vein.
Just as he was pondering this, a sudden change occurred—
The once dormant dragon vein suddenly burst forth with dazzling white light, rising into the air as if alive. Bathed in this radiance, the miniature landscape of the Nine Provinces resonated, radiating brilliant light.
In an instant, the profound power of heaven and earth surged endlessly, and a curtain of water descended from the void, enveloping the entire underground palace.
Ximen Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, and after a moment's thought, he understood Emperor Xuanyuan's deeper meaning. The dragon veins were related to the fate of the Nine Provinces. Although they possessed heaven-reaching power, they could not be disturbed rashly, otherwise, the foundation of heaven and earth would be damaged. Therefore, Emperor Xuanyuan set up a restriction: once a living person was sensed approaching, the dragon veins would spontaneously connect with the microcosms of the Nine Provinces, forming a protective array.
What's even more mysterious is that while ordinary formations eventually become ineffective over time, this formation has endured through the ages—simply because the dragon vein itself contains immortal power. As long as the Nine Provinces remain intact, the power of the dragon vein will never cease, and the great formation will naturally continue to operate forever.
As for the formation that is only now being revealed, it is actually a carefully laid plan by Emperor Xuanyuan.
The Yellow Emperor's plan was precisely to trap all those who coveted the dragon vein in this place!
159 - The Seven Emotions and Six Desires Formation: The Shock of the Tianmen Clan!
Having seen through the Emperor Xuanyuan's intentions, Ximen Yu's lips curled up slightly, and interest gleamed in his eyes.
Instead of retreating, he stepped onto the high platform.
In an instant, the formation swept towards him like a torrent.
"The power of the seven emotions and six desires?"
"Do you want people to become addicted to it, until they perish?"
Sensing the surging tide of desire, Ximen Yu was slightly surprised.
The rules of heaven and earth also have varying degrees of strength.
Aside from the mysterious and unpredictable cause and effect of fate, the most unpredictable and difficult to guard against are the seven emotions and six desires!
All living beings are subject to its harassment.
No one is an exception!
"The Emperor's methods are indeed extraordinary."
"However... it suits me just fine."
Ximen Yu chuckled softly.
Everyone believed that his greatest skill was the way of the sword.
Influenced by his memories from his previous life, he did not limit himself to a single law when he broke through to the Celestial Realm.
Rather—comprehend it all!
That's why, even with the system attached to him, it still took him a long time.
Each time you fully master a power of heaven and earth, your strength increases several times over!
Back then, on the summit of Azure Dragon Peak, the lingering pressure alone was enough to severely injure Emperor Shitian, and that was the reason!
Sixty years have passed, and the three thousand great principles have been comprehended.
Only a few remain unclear.
He had his own plans for this and was not in a hurry.
The emergence of human emotions and desires has become an unexpected joy.
With this thought in mind, Ximen Yu closed his eyes, hovered in mid-air, and sat cross-legged.
Let your emotions and desires erode your being.
Looking around at the familiar scenery, Di Shitian's tense mind finally relaxed. His robes were slightly disheveled, and his breathing was somewhat unsteady.
"Sect Master?!"
"What are you..."
Sensing something amiss, several figures quickly appeared. Upon seeing that it was Di Shitian, Luo Xian immediately stepped forward and inquired with concern.
Indra raised his hand in a gesture, then said coldly:
"Send word to everyone in Tianmen: Do not antagonize the Azure Dragon Society!"
His voice was calm and even, revealing no emotion.
These words struck everyone present like a thunderbolt, leaving them instantly stunned.
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances, their faces filled with shock.
How arrogant is Indra?
As their trusted confidants, they knew all too well.
That being is someone who claims to be a god and manipulates all living beings!
That is why the impact of this order shook them to their core.
Before anyone could react, Di Shitian suppressed his injuries and transformed into a stream of light, rushing towards the void of the heavens.
Watching that departing figure, Luo Xian and the others remained standing there, unable to recover for a long time.
"Sect Master...is he injured?"
The Ice Emperor's voice trembled slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Luo Xian glanced at him indifferently, her tone calm.
"Just do your job well."
Her expression remained unchanged, yet she was enigmatic.
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.
Thinking of Di Shitian's methods, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes, and they immediately fell silent.
"How is it? Is it resolved?"
Xiong Ba's face was pale as he stared intently at the figure in front of him who had closed his eyes and was meditating.
"My heart is located on the left side, unlike most people's, so I didn't suffer a fatal injury."
"But that lingering aura came from an unparalleled expert, making it extremely difficult to eliminate."
"Even though it's just water without a source, it can absorb the true energy within my body and grow stronger."
"To eradicate it completely is as difficult as climbing to heaven."
The old man in purple robes wore a bitter smile.
His voice betrayed a deep weariness.
He never expected it.
He has been patiently lying low for so many years.
He finally cultivated to the peak of the Mythical Realm.
He was only one step away from the Shattered Realm.
He thought he could now roam the world freely, or at least be safe and sound.
Who would have thought that it would suffer such a severe injury right after it was born!
One can imagine the frustration he felt.
"You do have some discernment."
"If I'm not mistaken."
"This aura must have been left by a Shattered Realm expert."
"You're incredibly lucky to have survived."
"Getting rid of it is by no means easy."
A figure appeared in front of the two of them without warning.
"May I ask your honorable name?"
"Did you come to my rescue because you need something from me?"
Xiong Ba asked, trying to remain calm.
He appeared calm on the surface, but inside he was experiencing a mix of emotions.
Sure enough, good fortune smiled upon him.
Just when his life was hanging by a thread, a master came to his rescue.
Just how many hidden powerhouses are there in Yunzhou?
Why are so many experts emerging one after another?
