As the Universe Turns - Chapter 398
Chapter 398 Su Ye Awoke
The youth was naturally Su Ye. Seeing him suddenly come out, Xiao Chen finally heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had a way to deal with Luo Qinghe.
“Who are you? How do you know the Soul Transformation Technique?”
Luo Qinghe’s eyes stared fixedly at Su Ye. No one knew about the Soul Transformation technique he had accidentally obtained, nor did they know why he had come back from the dead. However, they did not expect that a young man would actually speak out tonight. Who was this young man?
‘”It doesn’t matter who I am. I just said that you understand the path of the Soul Transformation Technique. It’s a compliment to you. What you grasp is just a superficial matter.” Su Ye was hanging a foot from the ground with his hands behind his back. He looked at him indifferently, “It doesn’t matter who I am. I think you understand the path of the Soul Transformation Technique.”
“You …”
Luo Qinghe was even more stupefied. He looked at the youth in front of him in disbelief. Indeed, the reason he was able to “come back from the dead” was precisely because of the Soul Transformation Technique he had accidentally obtained a few years ago. However, he had no idea who had passed down this Soul Transformation Technique and who had created it.
He cultivated the Soul Transformation Technique, Using the soul as a medium, he forcefully seized another person’s lifespan, thus achieving the goal of renewing his own life. However, every time he renewed his life, not to mention the high probability of failure of the Soul Transformation technique, even if he succeeded, he could only renew his life for one year or less at most. Every time after the Soul Transformation, it would cause him to age even more. In the end, he would no longer be able to change his soul.
Because of this, he was extremely distressed. That was why he wanted to obtain the Fusang Flower. According to legends, the Fusang Flower had the ability to extend his lifespan and even revive from the dead. As long as he was given another hundred or even ten years to comprehend the Concept, his cultivation would increase by at least two hundred years after reaching the Lower Profound Realm. At that time, there would be no worries.
This was because two hundred years was enough to allow him to break through to the Middle Profound Realm. After breaking through to the Middle Profound Realm, he would be able to obtain another prolongation of his lifespan. Immortal cultivators would use this to resist the Laws of Life and Death. Every time they broke through to a new realm, their lifespan would be prolonged.
However, if he failed to break through to the next realm within a limited amount of time, then he would have to reincarnate for another life. However, after reincarnation, what percentage of his luck would remain?
Therefore, since ancient times, countless people wanted to participate in the mystery of longevity. Only if they didn’t die would they have limitless possibilities in the future. Only then would they be able to reach the legendary Ten Directions Immortal Realm.
“Hehe …”
After being exposed by Su Ye’s words, Luo Qinghe’s expression suddenly turned gloomy. His appearance became even more terrifying. He said in a deep voice, “So what if you know … tonight, all of you will die!” As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden staff in his hand heavily stabbed into the ground, and a strong wind blew in the surroundings, causing the leaves to rustle.
He was heavily injured by Yun Tianzi yesterday. Logically speaking, it was impossible for him to recover so quickly. However, just last night, his soul had changed again and his injuries had fully recovered. However, the number of times he could change his soul was already limited. If he failed this time, there would be no chance for him to do so again.
Outside the cave, a strong wind blew. Luo Qinghe’s expression suddenly became ferocious. Luo Die was shocked and subconsciously retreated to Xiao Chen’s side.
However, Su Ye’s eyes were still cold. He lightly landed on the ground and slowly walked forward. He looked at Luo Qinghe and said indifferently, “Did you know that there is a very fast wild beast called a leopard in this world? When a leopard hunts for food, it can explode to its maximum speed, so very few prey can escape its claws, but …”
At this point, his eyes suddenly turned cold. “If a leopard is extremely hungry, it is doomed to die after several consecutive failed predators. At that time, it no longer has any strength to prey. It will slowly … starve to death on the spot.”
“You …”
Hearing this, Luo Qinghe’s eyes widened and he felt stifled again. The gale around him gradually stopped. At this moment, the pressure this youth gave him increased.
Naturally, he could understand the meaning of the other party’s story. At this moment, he was like a hungry leopard, and he still had his last bit of strength left. However, if he failed, then he would never have a chance again.
At this moment, Luo Qinghe was even more unable to see through this mysterious youth in front of him. His pair of dark purple eyes seemed to be able to clearly see all of his trump cards at this moment. In front of this youth, he seemed to have no room to struggle at all.
“Forget it … Forget it.”
He suddenly shook his head and sighed. The pressure Su Ye had put on him was too great, so he decided to give up. He only had a small amount of strength left. He would rather use this strength to find another prey than take a risk here.
“Fate can do anything … The number of days has already been decided. It’s futile or useless. Sigh …”
After saying that, he raised his head and looked at Su Ye, “It’s just that this old man still couldn’t help but ask, Sir, who exactly is he …”
Su Ye looked at him indifferently, “The soul of the ancient zither, Su Ye.”
“Upper Guqin Soul …”
Luo Qinghe felt suffocated. In the next moment, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, “It turns out that you have already surpassed the six Daos of the Three Realms and are not suffering from reincarnation. Since that is the case, how can you understand the suffering of our generation …”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked into the distance. His stooped back suddenly looked lonely. It was a loneliness that could not resist the fate of the Heavenly Dao.
Su Ye took a deep breath as he watched his back slowly fade away. He looked up at the crescent moon that was slowly revealing the clouds. He did not understand the sufferings of mortals like Luo Qinghe, but who could understand his sufferings?
Tens of thousands of years had passed. Everything had changed. The people they had met had all left one by one. They had all turned into dust in this ancient river. However, he had seen the prosperity and loneliness of the world, but he had never died. Who could understand this loneliness and loneliness?
After a long time, the surroundings gradually quieted down. Xiao Chen saw Su Ye turn around and smiled bitterly, “Why do I feel that your story just now was about me? If I died yesterday, Fuxi Zither would have changed hands again …”
“Humph!”
Su Ye coldly snorted. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and gave him a sidelong glance. “I’ve said long ago that the masters of Fuxi Zither often end badly. Brat, yesterday was your lucky day.”
“My life has always been great.”
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly before turning to look at Luo Die, who was standing beside him in a daze. “This is Fuxi Zither’s soul, Su Ye.”
“Fuxi Zither … Zither Soul …”
Only then did Luo Die slowly regain her senses. Looking at the cold and arrogant youth in front of her, her gaze was somewhat disbelieving. Rumors had it that Fuxi Zither was an ancient divine artifact. It was made from a branch of the ancient divine tree that Great Divine God Fuxi took out. How could it be on Xiao Yichen? Furthermore, this zither soul looked like a youth … Could it have lived for tens of thousands of years? He had long since jumped out of reincarnation …
The more she looked at it, the more incredulous she felt. She even forgot about the thrilling scene just now. And Su Ye was so annoyed by her staring at her that she said coldly, “Little girl, why are you looking at me like this?”
Only then did Luo Die wake up from her shock and hurriedly turned her gaze away, saying, “Hug … I’m sorry, this junior is being rude.”
“Humph!”
Su Ye coldly snorted and ignored her. Xiao Chen suddenly remembered what Soul Transformation Technique he had just mentioned and asked, “Su Ye, what did you say about the Yellow Springs Corpse Ancestor from ten thousand years ago? What was the Soul Transformation Technique?”
For some reason, Xiao Chen always felt that things were a little unusual. At this moment, Su Ye seemed to have gradually fallen into the memories of many years ago. The Yellow Springs Corpse Ancestor was someone from the same era as Qing Emperor ten thousand years ago. Could he still be alive today?
After a long time, Su Ye slowly recovered from his memories. He looked at Xiao Chen and said, “That person just learned a strange technique that uses the soul of another person to seize his life. I only know his weakness. Don’t ask, I don’t know anything else … Alright, I’m going back to the zither. I won’t wake up again during this period of time. Also … I warned you not to use Fuxi Zither randomly, kid, so as to avoid causing trouble that you can’t imagine.”
