What a Great Sage of the Human Path!
As soon as the word was written, the entire book suddenly fell silent.
This book, previously stained with ink and infused with Qiu Yan's thoughts, has drawn in many things, like a bottomless pit, constantly swallowing them up, leaving numerous marks on both the inside and outside of the paper, and the book itself is constantly vibrating.
Now that the shaking has stopped, the cover is shining brightly, distorting the surrounding light and shadow. Qiu Yan can feel the heat in his hand; the book itself is heating up.
I focused my gaze and momentarily lost my focus, only to discover that the myriad colors within the book were rapidly converging, like elixirs being refined in a furnace, all coming together in one place.
Qiu Yan's other hand still pierced through the chest of the Left Wise King. The latter's mind was in turmoil due to the cross-border collision of the Order that was in harmony with his thoughts. His emotions had long since spiraled out of control, and his face showed confusion. His eyes were filled with chaos, and his mind was filled with Zhou Rao's chaotic concepts.
The aura of the Zhou Rao Continent gradually spread, but because it was enveloped by the Dragon Qi hurricane, it did not dissipate. Even the Left Wise King did not expect the origin of these auras.
However, even if the connection between the two continents is just a crack, it will eventually be difficult to maintain over time.
To support this rift, Qiu Yan consumed divine power and vital energy. The divine power was transmitted through the Soul Aperture, but now that the Divine Spirit Body absorbing the People's Wishes of the Sealed Land, they have blocked the Soul Aperture. There is not much divine power left in Donghua, and the operation of the sacrificial system must be maintained. It is impossible to consume it indefinitely.
Vital energy, on the other hand, is maintained and sustained by overdrawing the soul and spirit of the Fleshly Body, which is equivalent to consuming life force and is also difficult to sustain.
"When Divine Spirit Body absorbs the People's Wishes, it can capture the lingering thoughts hidden deep within those Votive Thoughts and experience the myriad aspects of human life on that Continent. This is also a kind of enlightenment, so there is no need to maintain the passage between the two continents and watch for changes in Order."
Thinking this, Qiu Yan took a deep breath, and with a thought, the lotus flower formed by divine power withered, and the crack in the center of the flower's stamen decayed until it disappeared.
Once the rift disappeared, Order returned to its proper place, thus ending the clash between the two continents' Orders.
"Call..."
The Left Wise King suddenly gasped for breath, his energy and spirit surging, showing signs of breaking through to a higher realm!
His physical cultivation was already at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, and his Soul Dao Realm was on the verge of leaving the Spirit Projection due to his understanding of Order. Now that Order has retreated and is no longer suppressing him, his thoughts and body are freed. He had gained some insights from the collision with the Offensive Order, which flowed through his mind and turned into understanding. There were signs that he was about to break through in both areas.
Then, the Left Wise King regained consciousness. He shuddered, revealing a look of horror, suppressing his advancement in both the life and death realms, even at the cost of the backlash. He was severely injured and coughed up blood!
"Just as I thought!" Through the heart he held in his hand, Qiu Yan could feel that the Left Wise King, freed from suppression, had his heart suddenly contract in terror at the moment of his advancement, before reversing his Qi and Blood and thoughts to resist the momentum of advancement!
"He's deliberately suppressing his cultivation, unwilling to clash with the Foundation Establishment, and even more unwilling to let his soul Spirit Projection! This action is clearly for the sake of his mortal Fortune and fate! Indeed, the mortal path is separated from the Life Cultivation; the higher one's status, the greater the influence!"
With Qiu Yan's keen senses, he clearly noticed that at the very moment the Left Wise King was about to break through, his Fortune fluctuated violently, and his destiny, which originated from the Black Dragon, showed signs of breaking.
With a little thought, one can understand that this is inevitable.
Once the Left Wise King is promoted, he is essentially a cultivator. From then on, he focuses on cultivating himself. Although he has connections with the Fortune world, he cannot, like ordinary people, integrate his own destiny into the dynasty or Royal Court and let others control it. Instead, he must return to himself, determined by his own will rather than by fate. At most, he can absorb the Dynastic Fortune.
"The title of Left Wise King of Rouluo is that of the crown prince of the Great Khan. If Fortune is separated from that of the tribe and one only focuses on self-cultivation, one should not expect to obtain the throne. How can the Left Wise King bear such a position?"
Besides, in the heart of the Left Wise King, there were also many resentful Karma and karmic connections, which were connected to his Fleshly Body and blood. He could vaguely see a tragic scene, which aroused a bit of anger in his heart. In a short time, it swept through Qiu Yan's heart, and the surrounding wind became more and more intense.
The black and yellow Dragon Qi swirled and changed, not dissipating despite the retreat of the alien continent's Order. Instead, they connected end to end, completely enveloping the area where Qiu Yan was located, appearing from the outside like a dome formed by a raging wind.
Within the inner layer of the cover, the airflow was turbulent. The Imperial Preceptor, the Venerable One, and the Heavenly Hound danced with the gale. They had been attracted by the sparks of the collision of Order and were immersed in it. But as soon as they entered the gap connecting the two continents, they immediately woke up and found themselves trapped inside, unable to extricate themselves. So they gathered their blood and calmed their minds, making their Qi and Blood, and soul complete and reducing the loss.
In this situation, let alone helping the Left Wise King, it would be difficult enough to even protect oneself.
The Left Wise King was fully aware of this. After escaping the suppression, he did not act rashly. Moreover, the strange characters on his body were still suppressed, leaving him powerless to retaliate. Yet, there was no fear on his face. He looked directly at Qiu Yan and spoke with difficulty, "You must have noticed that my physical body has an extraordinary destiny. You have severely injured me, thus creating a karmic Karma. If you still wish to harm me, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the entire Rouluo... Ah!"
Before he could finish speaking, a "snap" sound suddenly came from his chest, and Qiu Yan crushed his heart with his hand!
Blood bloomed and spread throughout his chest, the rich vitality and surging soul power dissipating without restraint. The Left Wise King's entire body trembled and convulsed, his face showing an expression of disbelief!
His heart shattered, unleashing a sliver of his potential, causing him to suddenly raise a finger and roar, "You really dare to attack? Aren't you afraid of the retaliation from the hundreds of thousands of people of the Rouluo clan? Aren't you afraid of the backlash from this Black Dragon Qi?"
As if to confirm his words, the Black Dragon Qi that formed a gale together with the bright Yellow Dragon energy suddenly changed, and the storm became even more turbulent. A low murmur could be faintly heard, making people tremble in their hearts.
Qiu Yan remained unmoved, showing no concern for the changes in the Dragon Qi. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and looked at the Left Wise King, saying, "Your words might fool those who are unfamiliar with the Grasslands, but I, Qiu, have long known from Military School records and Historians' School texts that there are many tribes on the Grasslands, and every so often a new tribe rises up, bestowing its name upon all the other tribes of the Grasslands..."
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his Official Qi and Fortune slowly shifted, subtly merging with the scattered Fortune of the Left Wise King. Furthermore, numerous bloody shadows emanated from the Left Wise King, and one could hear the screams and pleas of the people of the Central Plains, accompanied by their bewilderment and resentment...
Sensing this, Qiu Yan's pupils contracted, but his words did not stop. "You speak of the Rouluo clan, but their origins also lie in a branch from the East Hu Mountain. If this branch were to disintegrate, how could the Black Dragon's Fortune descend? These threatening words should be spoken to the people of the Central Plains whom you have directly or indirectly killed after you go down there! When they died, did you think much about it? Did you realize you had incurred karmic Karma with the Central Plains? Did you fear retribution?"
"You... Ugh!" The Left Wise King was startled and was about to continue speaking when blood began to gush out of his mouth. His life force was rapidly draining away, and his face grew increasingly pale. Blood was also gushing out from the waist where the bleeding had stopped!
Blood was spreading!
In the midst of the storm, the Imperial Preceptor and the Venerable One, whose Dragon Qi had been diverted and whose Divine Ability powers suppressed by the Black Dragon's aura, sensed something at this moment. Their expressions changed drastically as they felt their own Fortune, connected to the black dragon, suddenly knotted, transforming into a Karma entanglement!
"Oh no! That scholar actually dared to make a move!"
"Doesn't he know what this means? Even if he escapes today, ultimately..."
These two cultivators at the Fourth Realm came with the Palace Master after receiving the Left Wise King's plea for help. As a result, they themselves are now trapped, and the Palace Master has suffered heavy losses. If he hadn't prepared a backup plan and had a way to revive and survive, he would probably have already perished.
The situation then changed. In their eyes, the scholar with low cultivation should have been easy to capture, but the other party actually wanted to write down the Human Dao Canon, and even attracted the Dragon Qi of two sides. Such a thing would be recorded in history no matter which dynasty or place it was. But what the two did not expect was that the other party not only asked amazing questions, but also acted decisively. He broke the Left Wise King's path to life without hesitation!
My heart is about to explode!
Even with the Left Wise King's cultivation level, without any deliberate suppression and advancing naturally, having his heart crushed would still make it difficult for him to survive.
After struggling for a while, the Left Wise King slowly lowered his head, his eyes wide open.
This once invincible King of Rouluo, who had dominated the borderlands and raided enemy territory for many years, died in agony. There was no grand battle, only blood everywhere and two swirling Dragon Qi.
But his death will become a green leaf in future history books, used to highlight the achievements of another person.
Almost at the same moment the Left Wise King breathed his last, the Black Dragon Qi roared and burst forth with rage. This was not its own will, but rather the will of all living beings on the Grasslands. Although the living beings did not have Divine Ability and could not know things from afar, their hopes and desires remained in the Dragon Qi, which could be simulated and deduced.
However, although the Dragon Qi fluctuated and showed hostility towards Qiu Yan, it did not attack. Instead, it continued to protect the area, further increasing the suppression of the Divine Ability. This caused the Imperial Preceptor and the Venerable to secretly complain, while the Heavenly Hound had long since huddled up in a ball, ignoring external affairs to prevent further damage to the Nascent Soul and the foundation from being too damaged.
In the eye of the storm, Qiu Yan remained silent, not setting down the body of the Left Wise King, but instead remaining calm and vigilant, as if waiting for something.
Beat!
Suddenly, the Left Wise King's body twitched, his pulse beat again, and then fell silent. But his drooping head suddenly rose, and his eyes, which could not close, were pitch black, exuding an indescribable terrifying aura.
"Human Path sage! Truly worthy of being among the most dangerous people. From ancient times to the present, for the sake of their beliefs, they can abandon their physical bodies, endure eternal infamy, and face eternal damnation. It's not surprising that they risk their lives in the path of cultivation. It's not unjust that this pawn of mine has fallen into your hands. However, with this loss of a piece, the game is at a disadvantage. Since I cannot personally intervene, I'll have to make you pay for it over fifty years!" (To be continued...)
