919 Ch 919: Heavens' Envy
Ye Xiao once again focused on the four old men to hear them out!
“After the master was successful in creating the mysterious energy, she found that it doesn’t have the exact effect that she wanted. She wanted that energy to be overly powerful, to the extent that it could even face the Eyes of Heavenly Dao without receiving any sort of damage. However, the energy was nothing like what master had expected.”
“Instead, the mysterious energy had an entirely different nature. That could actually devour people’s Divine Souls and grow stronger. The more Divine Souls that energy devours, the more strong the energy will grow. And the stronger the energy is, the more support it could provide to its owner.”
“Moreover, as you already know, energy can’t be created or destroyed, it could only be converted from one form of energy to another. It exists from the very beginning. We, cultivators, absorb energy to become strong, and deplete energy by using them to execute martial arts skills, Law Skills, concoct pills, refine weapons, and do other things. After being depleted, those energy returns to their origin.”
“It can be said that master didn’t create a new type of energy, a new type of energy just born after combining the devouring-natured energy that master extracted from the object that came from beyond the Heavens and True Essence as well as her powerful Soul Force. Maybe, this might be the reason why the newly born energy could devour people’s Divine Soul and provide its master with unsurmountable strength for a short time.”
“Maybe, this is the reason why master attracted Heavens’ envy, causing Heavens to send that Ancient Poison Beast God to face our master.”
“When our master was taking her last breath, she felt a strange pull from the mysterious energy. At that time, she felt the mysterious energy talking to him. Only then did she come to know that she could reincarnate with the help of that mysterious energy.”
“Knowing that, our master, God Emperor, took out her treasured gourd and stored one-third of that mysterious energy in that gourd. Along with that gourd, she left behind her cultivation technique and told me to create a site for her and hide these two treasures there. Only a fated person could obtain these treasures and that fated person would be her successor. But that fated person would definitely be a woman, no man could become her successor.”
“However, it was at that time that something else happened. After I took the two gourds and her cultivation technique and was waiting for our master to pass away since I couldn’t save her no matter how hard I tried, Emissary of Heavenly Dao descended and forcefully extracted one-third of that mysterious energy from master’s body. He could have extracted all the energy, but master was lucky and passed away. Her Divine Soul disappeared along with the remaining half of the mysterious energy.”
“After master died, the emissary of Heavens took out another gourd and stored the mysterious energy he extracted from master’s body into it. Then he created a well and stored it with the blood of the Ancient Poison Beast God. After that, he used that blood to change the nature of mysterious energy. At the same time, he carved some kind of spiritual ruin on the gourd.”
“I don’t know why he did those things, but after doing all those things, he gave me the gourd and ordered me to place his gourd together with the gourd that master gave me. If I did not do things told by him, Heavens’ wrath will descend on me. At that time, it wouldn’t be only me but my entire family would die, never to reincarnate again.”
All three men were listening carefully without interrupting old Han. Ye Xiao was also doing the same. He was inside well filled with poisonous blood of Ancient Poison Beast God, however, because of the Celestial Poison Imperial Dragon, the poisonous blood had no effect on him.
As for breathing, he was an Exalted Ruler. He could stop his breath for days and nothing will happen to him.
He was really shocked after knowing all these things. He had heard about how Heavens took action and the Eyes of Heavenly Dao appeared to punish those who dares to go against the Heavens, destroying them immediately.
But it was the first time he heard about Emissary of Heavens and attracting Heavens’ envy. Moreover, because Heavens was envious, it actually sent Ancient Poison Beast God to deal with God Emperor.
According to the four old men, at that time, God Emperor was already the strongest in the entire Heavens. Heavens sent Ancient Poison Beast God, which means this Ancient Poison Beast God must have enough strength to deal with God Emperor.
But even so, God Emperor actually managed to kill Ancient Poison Beast God first. Although she died later because of heavy injuries and damages that she suffered from Ancient Poison Beast God, being able to kill the beast sent by Heavens, one could imagine the length of her strength.
Or maybe, she got that strength by activating the mysterious energy.
Whatever the matter, she managed to make Heavens envious of her. This alone is a feat that he had never heard of anyone achieving.
Even he himself had never made Heavens envious of him. He did attract the Eyes of Heavenly Dao many times, but other than that, Heavens never tried to punish him in another way.
But it did this to God Emperor. It means Ye Xiao was still not powerful enough to threaten Heavens or make it look at him in a different way.
On one hand, Ye Xiao was deep in thought, and on the other hand, the three old men were conversating among themselves. They were also shocked. Extreme astonishment could be clearly seen on their faces.
From this, it is easy to guess that the other three men were completely unaware of all the events that old Han told them.
They had never expected the mysterious energy to be able to communicate with God Emperor and brought her Divine Soul to reincarnate.
After some time, when the three old men quieted down and once again looked at old Han, he continued: “I did what master emissary of Heavens told me to do. I didn’t care if something happened to me, but I didn’t want my family to suffer and die because of me.”
“However, doing what emissary of Heavens told me to do is a kind of betrayal to master. That’s why, to lessen my guilt, I left behind a note where I mentioned the successor of God Emperor to come to the core area of this Poison Devil Forest. I also mentioned in the note that the Ancient Poison Beast God’s corpse is in this forest. I explained the changes that happened to this forest after the Ancient Poison Beast God’s death. I also wrote that the core of the Ancient Poison Beast Core could help cure the poison of this beast. Lastly, I told the successor to come to this place!”
“I did all this thing just for one reason; that is to cultivate the successor and wait for master. After doing all this thing, I met you old men and brought you here. From then onward, we are waiting here for master’s successor to come.”
“It is just that, I didn’t expect master to come here as well. Let alone master’s appearance, I didn’t even know master has already reincarnated.”
After the story ended, all four men took a deep breath. The other three men didn’t blame old Han for what he did. After all, old Han was forced to do what the Emissary of Heavens wanted.
Maybe, the Emissary of Heavens already knew that God Emperor is going to reincarnate again with the help of mysterious energy. That’s why he appeared and tried to extract the mysterious energy from God Emperor’s body. However, before he could completely extract the mysterious energy, God Emperor’s Divine Soul managed to escape with half of the mysterious energy.
That’s when the Emissary of Heavens changed his plan. He made old Han to do all those things just for one reason, which is to create another card that can deal with God Emperor after her reappearance.
And that card was what Zhao Qing’er obtained. A mysterious spiritual world appeared out of nowhere in her Divine Sea. And that spiritual world brought the tempered mysterious energy. The tempered mysterious energy was weakening Zhao Qing’er’s Divine Soul slowly, while Zhao Qing’er was fighting for life inside the spiritual world.
Ye Xiao remembered that when he was observing the flow of mysterious energy with the help of his Eyes of Insight, he discovered the spiritual world that was sealed at a very corner of Zhao Qing’er’s Divine Sea. If not for the Eyes of Insight, he wouldn’t have been able to discover that spiritual world.
When Ye Xiao entered the spiritual world to find Zhao Qing’er, he had clearly seen two Dao Tribulation Stage spiritual demonic beasts trying to kill Zhao Qing’er. They were also talking that as long as they could kill Zhao Qing’er there, they would accomplish their mission.
