Chapter 568 – Wasteland
A few of them turned to look at An Zheng, their expressions strange. An Zheng looked at me with an expression as if he was trying to say something, but Oldman Huo shook his head and said, “How could his character determine the sky and sky? His personality is too upright and his weakness is too obvious, he’s not a material for being a saint.”
Gu Qianye looked at the Oldman Huo and said seriously: “Master, but the Holy Fish Scale … That is a legend that our Old Hunters has guarded for thousands or even tens of thousands of years. ”
Oldman Huo said: “You also said that it was only a legend. This world is very big, to the point that it surpasses your imagination. There are many powerful cultivators in this world, so many that even you wouldn’t dare to believe it. True experts were unwilling to show themselves in public. They were used to cultivating and could only do so in public. However, if this world encountered any danger, they would definitely not sit back and do nothing, because that would also affect their own life and death. I never believed that Daxi Shenghuang was truly invincible under the heavens. ”
Gu Qianye still wanted to say something, but she simply shook her head slightly. Although Gu Qianye did not understand what Qu Liuxi meant, nor did sshe understand what the Oldman Huo meant, he still chose not to continue arguing.
Oldman Huo glanced at An Zheng: “Stinking brat, I’m tired. Carry me back to rest.”
An Zheng immediately came over, crouching down to carry Oldman Huo towards the room.
The few of them watched as the old and young left, feeling that the two of them seemed to be in harmony.
“It really does look like a grandfather-grandson pair.”
Gu Qianye sighed.
Qu Liuxi nodded, a complicated look in her eyes.
On An Zheng’s back, the Oldman Huo squinted his eyes and asked: “How is it?”
“How about what?”
“How does it feel to bero?”
“I don’t feel anything.”
“Are you showing off?”
“No, because I never felt likero.”
“That’s right.”
Oldman Huo remained silent for a while and then continued, “Everyone said that being a hero is lonely. Actually, being a hero isn’t just being lonely. Once the word “hero” becomes your shackle, then your life is basically over. Before you do anything, you can’t help but think, I’m a hero, how can I back down? ”
An Zheng replied, “I’m noero, but there are times when I can’t retreat.”
Oldman Huo laughed: “Brat, that’s why your character is not suitable to be a big shot. Once you become a big shot, the number of traps in front of you will be several times or even dozens of times greater than before. You’re too straight, you don’t have to twist that much. ”
“That’s why I feel that I’m not strong enough.”
An Zheng said in all seriousness: “As long as I’m strong enough, then there’s no need to bother about those traps.”
“Were you strong enough in your previous life?”
Oldman Huo coldly snorted, “Until now, you still don’t understand why you ate so much? Your enemies will take advantage of you because they know who you are. Do you know why I said just now that you are not the material of the Savior? In fact, your bad temper is precisely the material of the Savior. I said that because I didn’t want you to take on the burden of the Savior yourself. For everyone in the world, when they really need someone to save them, that would truly be their doom. ”
An Zheng stopped and suddenly understood what the Oldman Huo meant.
“Humans are a very strange thing. In peace and stability, there is actually less ugliness and kindness in human nature. When disaster arrived, these ugliness and kindness would erupt. I’ve always thought that disaster is just a knockout match … Do you believe that the people who can survive in this world will be united and not selfish? ”
“Yes.”
An Zheng nodded.
Oldman Huo said seriously: “That’s why I never scold the heavens just because of a war or some other disaster. In fact, natural disasters are limited in this world and the vast majority of disasters are man-made. As for man-made disasters, wasn’t that the same as being eliminated by the heavens? If all those who should be eliminated are eliminated, the rest will be in peace for a long period of time. ”
An Zheng shook his head: “Elder, although what you said isn’t wrong, it seems to be too passive.”
Oldman Huo said: “Passive. Do you really not believe that those calamities were caused by people committing suicide?”
An Zheng did not say anything more. In fact, there were too many disasters that people could only cause their own deaths.
The grandfather and grandson duo chatted as they walked. And thousands of miles away from them, a crack suddenly appeared in the sky. The crack grew larger and larger, so big that it seemed as if it would tear the sky into two pieces. Hurricane gushed out from the opening, and the earth suffered a huge disaster in an instant. The big trees were uprooted, and the houses were swept into ruins. A hurricane swept through everything within a thousand miles, and not a single blade of grass could be seen.
When the hurricane passed, it was the arrival of an unbearable cold.
No one knew what exactly happened, but the Thousand Mile Wasteland was frozen in an instant. The heavy rain after the hurricane instantly turned into hail, and as the hail fell, the earth began to freeze. The ground was as hard as rock, and the trees were wrapped in a thick layer of ice. Whether it was small animals, demonic beasts, or humans, they were all frozen in their original positions. Soon, they became ice sculptures.
There was no lack of powerful cultivators and demon beasts amongst them, the strongest of them possessed the strength of the Lower Completion Stage, but even so, they were still hard to defend against, it was just that they had been fighting for a bit longer. From the crack in the sky to the freezing of the earth, only ten minutes had passed. And in just 10 short minutes, this 1000 mile radius had been turned into another world.
Even a mountain that stretched for hundreds of miles was frozen. Looking from afar, it looked likuge ice sculpture that was naturally formed.
The hurricane dissipated and the hail stopped. Then, a huge black shadow flew down from the sky from the crack in the wall. The shadow was so big that it looked like an eagle spreading its wings. When it appeared, it once again covered the heavens and the earth. As soon as the black shadow descended, the sky turned dark.
However, the black shadow quickly shrunk and turned into the shape of a person. It was a young man wearing a blood-red robe. He had a stern expression on his face. He stood on the frozen mirror-like ground and looked around. His gaze fell upon the ice mountain that stretched for hundreds of miles in the distance.
“For the time being, this place shall be my temporary manor.”
The man said to himself and walked towards the ice mountain. Just one step, just one step, and he was already on the ice mountain hundreds of miles away.
The phenomenon in the sky and earth turned into a glacier. It immediately aroused the curiosity and fear of countless people. Countless cultivators went over to that place to find out the truth. But the scary thing was, no matter who went, no matter how strong, as long as they entered the glacier, they would never come out. Those people seemed to have disappeared into thin air. Not a single one of them came out alive to tell everyone what had happened.
Some people said that the Demon Lord had descended to build a Demon Palace there. Some people said that the sky had been torn apart, and no matter how powerful the cultivators were, they were unable to withstand the might of the sky. Some even said that it was the opening of hell, and that the devils from hell would sweep out in all directions from this place. Of course, there were those who didn’t believe that ghosts and gods could continue to go there and investigate. However, those who went in were like stones that sank into the ocean.
Moreover, it was too cold over there. This kind of cold was not something normal people could endure, even cultivators with Captive Stage would not be able to withstand it. A young cultivator from a prestigious and upright sect said that the world did not change from me, but it could not be me. Then, he stepped into the glacier. His strength was not that high, he only had Sumeru Stage, and after walking five steps, his feet broke on their own. He had been pulled back by his comrade, but in the end, he was frozen silly. Perhaps he was the only one who didn’t die after entering the glacier, since he had only taken five steps.
That thousand kilometers had become a land of death.
When An Zheng and the others found out about this, it was already a few days later. And An Zheng and the others, who were originally going to investigate as well, were delayed because of one thing.
When the Heaven Defying Seal received the news from State of Yan, he requested for An Zheng and the others to return immediately. An Zheng and the others searget and the Heaven Defying Seal began to teleport. Not only had the trip to the glacier been shelved, even An Zheng’s visit to the Buddha Nation’s Lightning Lake Temple in the Western Regions had been delayed.
Amongst the Heaven Defying Seal, An Zheng asked the Oldman Huo: “What are the limits of our Heaven Defying Seal?”
Oldman Huo asked An Zheng, “What are the limits you are talking about?”
An Zheng said: “It doesn’t matter if I’m the savior or not, I still want to save more people. Once the war between Da Xi and the Buddha began, a small country like the State of Yan would never be able to survive. Millions of citizens of the State of Yan would become the cannon fodder for the war. “Of course I’m not a saint. If I can save someone, I will definitely start from home.”
Oldman Huo nodded: “I understand. What you mean is, the Heaven Defying Seal became a bit larger, and could accommodate the entire State of Yan? It’s true that the Heaven Defying Seal are Purple-Rank Divine Artifact, but they are not as strong as the heaven and earth. Furthermore, I am no longer able to create artifacts, not to mention such a freakish artifact. ”
An Zheng: “Of course I know that the Heaven Defying Seal itself isn’t that strong, but what if it fused with an unparalleled immortal equipment? Didn’t I get the Nine Floors Exquisite Pagoda back in the Immortal Palace? Qi Tian said that it was a magical equipment used by a great cultivator with cultivation only second to the Immortal Emperor Realm. If the nine floors of Exquisite Pagoda and Heaven Defying Seal were to merge together, it would not be impossible to install a State of Yan. ”
Oldman Huo was stunned for a moment. “You … This was real, this was really a f * cking wastrel. That’s an immortal equipment, a top grade immortal equipment, and it just melted away like that? ”
“It doesn’t matter what kind of weapon it is, being able to be used is the best thing.” If you can’t use it, you might as well use a urinal. ”
“Damn. Luckily you didn’t follow my Bloodsmith. Otherwise, I would’ve killed you.” But after thinking about it, if I can really bring out the matter of a prodigal son, I would feel quite a sense of accomplishment … Even though I am no longer capable of making weapons, I know how you are going to dismantle them. Whether it was an immortal equipment or the most ordinary green magical equipment, they could all be dismantled. It was impossible for the Heaven Defying Seal to swallow the ninth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda because the latter’s strength was higher than the former’s. The only way is to destroy the ninth floor of the Exquisite Pagoda and feed them bit by bit to the Heaven Defying Seal. ”
An Zheng nodded his head: “Master, these few days, when you have nothing better to do, you will study the ninth floor’s Exquisite Pagoda. If it’s not enough … Let’s destroy Immortal Emperor Purple Ivy’s Starpicker Restaurant. ”
Oldman Huo squinted as he looked at An Zheng, “You … There are things that cannot be done. ”
An Zheng waved his hand: “Like I said, no matter how good the grade is, only the thing that you can use is a good thing. Although it waesult of Purple Ivy’s life’s work … It was indeed a pity to bring disaster upon them. “But, isn’t he also not here? He can’t do anything to us either.”
He said in a serious tone, “If it’s not enough, from today onwards, I will go and snatch all the spatial artefacts. I will bring everything of the enemies over, regardless of size, to the Heaven Defying Seal.”
Oldman Huo said, “Oh you …” One remembrance of the Buddha. ”
