Translator: 549690339
In the previous dynasty, Great Shang abandoned the capital.
The mountains had turned into a land of lava, and the rivers had dried up. The mountains and rivers were riddled with holes as if they were seriously injured people who had been tortured and tortured, crawling on this deserted wasteland with a humble attitude.
As Xia Ji walked on the wasteland, the horde of fire demons that had evolved to become extremely terrifying due to devouring rose and fell from afar. They brushed past him but did not dare to approach him.
He closed his eyes. The Imperial City’s prosperity from hundreds of years ago could be vaguely seen around him, as well as the chanting of scriptures coming from the Sutra Depository.
In the blink of an eye, five hundred years had passed.
Everything was gone.
But it’s just like yesterday.
Xia Ji identified the location of the palace and found the small courtyard of the Sutra Depository. He walked alone in the ruins.
The world had changed a little. The remaining eight Patriarchs were nowhere to be seen. They might be in another battlefield. After all, the world was huge, and there might be some things happening in some corners that he didn’t know about.
Due to the departure of the Su family’s ancestor, a capable woman like Su Yueqing had completely taken control of the Su family. After discussing with Xia Ji, she went to the Fourth Heaven and released Su Linyu and the fat fox, letting Su Linyu go to the north to be with Little Su. In the end, that heartless mother still wanted to return to the Su family, so the Su family’s master had no choice but to bring her back.
Xia Ji laughed. The memory of his gentle mother had been replaced by this new image. This wasn’t a bad thing. After experiencing all kinds of life, he finally understood that only a heartless person could live a happy life. In his conversation with the fat fox, he felt that the fat fox had become funny. This proved that his mother had changed, which was good.
He was also relieved and passed on his message to his mother through Fat Fox.
He was…
He might have to go to a very far place.
Very far away.
So he wrote a letter.
If nothing happened today, he would retrieve the letter. If it did, the letter would be delivered to Xia Xiaosu and Su Yueqing by Wind-on-Snow and Xu Lingling.
A black-robed, silver-haired man sat on the ground.
The flames in front of him danced quietly.
It made crackling sounds.
Large groups of fire demons retreated as if they were retreating. Occasionally, groups of fire birds would flap their wings and fly past, casting shadows and flowing flames.
He was a little lost in thought.
He recalled this possible trip.
All these years, he had looked for Xia Qingxuan again. The scene of him in the Supreme Heavenly Mirror had never changed.
He went to the Church of Wolves, Snakes, and Death, and the prophecy in the mysterious scripture of the church did not change.
He felt the strange throbbing in his body and tried to resolve it, but it ended in
failure.
But he was not angry.
Because he had already experienced the most painful thing in the world-separation.
Therefore, there was only sorrow in his heart.
Therefore, although he was in the burning wasteland deep in the Tribulation Lands, his heart was cold and lonely.
In the distance, a beautiful phoenix flew over and landed beside him. It kicked away the stone that was holding its claws. Its brilliant feathers spread out and also pushed away the dust.
Xia Ji started drinking.
Unable to withstand the high temperature, the wine jug almost exploded as soon as it was taken out. The wine boiled and steamed up to the sky, but Xia Ji casually hooked it and sent it into his mouth.
He drank it all in one gulp.
Azurite watched him drink and asked, “”Did you bring any cake?”
In these hundreds of years, Xia Ji had not only sat on the island, but had also done many, many things. This included fulfilling his promise to Liuli and bringing it to taste many delicacies in the human world. However, after eating and eating, what it really liked was dessert, and the blueberry jam cake was its favorite.
The fire demon didn’t seem to be able to eat cooked food. Even if it ate the cake, it would still feel a little uncomfortable. However, the cake was too delicious. For this reason, Azurite could completely suppress the slight discomfort.
“Yes,” Xia Ji replied.
He reached into his arms to take the cake.
However, a phoenix feather tapped his arm and pushed it back.
“Wait a minute, wait a minute.”
Azurite stood up and flapped her wings.
In an instant, a wild flame rose, and all the dust in the surroundings was blown away.
Azurite rolled up its tail feathers again, bringing a beautiful piece of jade table fragment in front of it. Then, without seeing what it was doing, all kinds of flames had already spread out like a vortex, and the temperature around the jade table had also dropped significantly.
It stood obediently in front of the jade table, waiting to peck at the cake.
Xia Ji casually took out a 20-inch blueberry cake and placed it on the jade table.
Doodoodoodoodoodoo …
Suddenly, the sound of a machine gun was heard. It was Azurite eating the cake with her beak.
Azurite ate for a while before realizing that her friend seemed unhappy. Her face was full of milky cream as she turned to ask, “”What’s wrong with you? It looks like…
Xia Ji didn’t want to talk about this. He didn’t want to ease the tension, so he said, “”Are you here to say goodbye to me?”
Azurite’s thoughts were extremely simple. She immediately changed the topic and said,””Ah Yes.”
But I’m the Black Emperor. The Black Emperor belongs to the Fire Calamity, and I belong to the Fire Calamity as well. Many people, including myself, feel that I might disappear along with the Fire Calamity. ”
“You want to come with me?” Azurite revealed a happy expression.
It was smiling, but when it saw the sadness in its friend’s eyes, it shut its mouth again.
It wanted to say something, but it didn’t say anything. It ate the cake in a low voice while gently rubbing the man beside it with its phoenix feather.
The glazed bird’s eyes rolled around. It decided to talk about something happy, so it said, “”By the way, where’s your wife?” “She left,” Xia Ji said after a long silence.
“What? He left?”
“She went to a very far place.”
” Ah! Isn’t she coming back? ‘
Liuli, what kind of world is the world you’re in? ”
“I don’t know.” Azurite said softly. Suddenly, it moved closer to Xia Ji and said, ‘
Don’t be confused. Just become stronger. ”
Xia Ji’s expression relaxed. This was what he had said when he first saw Little Fire Crow in the Mountain and River State Painting.
That’s right, there were no shackles that bound a person’s body. As long as one did not stop their footsteps of becoming stronger, this matter had nothing to do with heaven and earth. It only concerned one’s Dao heart.
He pressed his fingers on the ground, and the ground around him bloomed like a red lotus. The towering land turned into a mountain range, bringing him to sit on this newly formed mountain peak and look into the distance.
No matter where he was, he just needed to become stronger.
“Time is almost up.” Azurite was a little dejected. ” I suddenly feel that if there was a previous life, I would have been a human. ‘
Xia Ji didn’t say anything. He sat cross-legged on the peak of the mountain, holding the wine jar and drinking without rest. A golden light appeared in the distant gray sky, but it was soon swallowed by more clouds. Even though it was dawn, it was still cloudy.
He felt something deep in the ground making a terrifying rumbling sound.
That voice was hair-raising. It came from afar and arrived in the blink of an eye.
Xia Ji’s figure flashed and he flew away at an extremely fast speed.
But the voice was still under his feet.
No matter how fast he ran or how high he ascended, the distance between him and the voice would not increase at all. It was as if the voice was approaching him from another dimension. If he did not move in that dimension, he would not be able to avoid it.
In an instant, a finger-like divine pillar rose from the ground.
Pulling the ground did not cause the ground to shake.
Tongtian did not change the situation.
The finger was stuck to his back, and countless chains grew out of the finger.
Xia Ji’s expression was calm as he took a deep breath. In the next second, he used a divine ability unique to the Twelve States, the Seventy-Two
Transformations. He turned into a speck of dust and slowly fell to the ground.
However, the chains locked onto the dust.
Xia Ji felt that something was wrong. He had a feeling that he could really be locked down. He exhaled and returned to his original form. He moved his hands and reversed Yin and Yang.
Heaven and earth turned into black and white, extending for tens of thousands of feet. It was as if the vortex in the sky was spinning endlessly. Anyone who passed through this path would be like stepping into the path of Yin and Yang, no longer existing in the world.
However, the chains were not affected at all.
Xia Ji clasped his hands together, and the four million Dharma Forms turned into a huge shadow, with four hundred elephants hidden within.
He rushed into the space between Yin and Yang and turned into the core of Yin and Yang. The black flames that burned everything and destroyed everything plated the edge of Yin and Yang with a destructive light.
He pointed out with his finger, and the power of heaven and earth was destroyed along with death. As well as the power of Yin and Yang, it seemed as if the space was about to collapse.
This finger could be said to be invincible in the world.
However…
The chains still locked him.
That finger still stopped him.
From the beginning to the end, he didn’t slow down at all.
Even though he had used all sorts of methods, he still could not jump out of the cage.
Deep and bottomless volcanic craters suddenly appeared on the ground. Liu Li had already been swallowed by one of the craters, and the finger was pulling Xia Ji underground.
Xia Ji looked up at the human world and struggled.
Why?
Why?
He could not keep his wife alive!
He could not choose his own path!
No matter what he did, was it still his destiny?
Who could submit?
He closed his eyes, because even if he opened them, it was still darkness. He entered the unknown netherworld, and his body was covered in scorching hot dense lava.
The world was the hottest world.
However, his heart gradually turned cold. He suppressed the anger that could not be appeased for 500 years, so much so that it froze into ice.
The Fire Calamity had disappeared, and the world was filled with cheers. The world without Xia Ji was still operating normally. The mastermind of the Country of Ice received the letter.
She finished reading the letter.
He closed his eyes.
For a moment, he felt a little lost, like a frozen stone statue.
Xia Xiaosu waved her hand, and Xu Lingling left. Then, she vaguely heard the sound of soft sobs coming from the majestic but lonely hall. The sobs gradually turned into loud sobs.
Xia Xiaosu now carried countless honors. She was the true master of the Land of Ice and Snow, the godmother of all forces and imperial power. No one thought that such a supreme person would cry.
Even a saint who could educate the world would cry for his dead wife.
Why couldn’t a sister cry for her brother?
No matter how easy it was for Wind-on-Snow to get lost, he still managed to find his way. He had the Su Clan’s token, so he went to the Su Clan and handed the letter to the Su Clan’s Patriarch.
Su Yueqing reclined on the soft couch. After reading the letter, she took a deep breath, folded the letter, and carefully put it away. She controlled the sadness in her heart and looked at the hunched man in front of her.” It’s been a long time since the Fire Tribulation ended. Why did you only come today? ” Wind-on-Snow revealed a look that said, “Can we not talk about this topic?”
“What are your plans?” asked Su Yueqing.
“No…” Wind-on-Snow replied in confusion.
Su Yueqing said, ” According to the records of my Su family, the calamity comes once every five hundred years. Although the Fire Calamity has passed, the time left for the human world to calm down is only about ten years. After ten years, a new calamity will come. ‘
“What tribulation?” Wind-on-Snow asked.
Su Yueqing smiled. ” You’re his eldest disciple. I trust you completely. Are you willing to help me? ”
Wind-on-Snow knew that the person in front of him could be considered his master’s wife. He thought about it and realized that he did not have any goals, so he said, “If there’s a day when I receive news of my teacher, the Patriarch cannot stop me from leaving.”
“I’ll accompany you to look for him,” said Su Yueqing.
“I’ll help you then.” Wind-on-Snow nodded.
Su Yueqing smiled. She knew the strength of the person in front of her. With him, even if the Su family temporarily lost their ancestor, they would still be invincible in the new calamity.
Therefore, she said, ” The next tribulation is called the tribulation of mountains and rivers. Mountains will collapse, rivers and seas will flow backward, and heaven and earth will fall into an unprecedented turmoil. Even the oceans and mountains on the continent will split and regroup.. Are you ready? “
