Realms In The Firmament - Chapter 1701
Chapter 1701 I Can Help You!
“Master Flower King.” Ye Xiao took a deep breath and cracked a big smile on the face. “We don’t have to be so bitterly hostile and irreconcilable, because I can solve the problem that bothers you.
“Sometimes it is better to be friends than to be enemies.”
When Ye Xiao was talking, the strong spiritual qi was getting into Ye Xiao’s body from the Boundless Space. That aside, there were two supreme dan beads which helped him recover his spiritual energy…
Ye Xiao’s face looked better and better. His almost drained dantian was gathering energy again…
The Flower King looked surprised. He deeply looked at Ye Xiao and said, “The problem that bothers me?”
“That’s right. The problem that is bothering you now.” Ye Xiao said, “I do not know exactly what it is, but I know you are here for a reason. There must be something that keeps you here for nearly one hundred thousand
years.”
The Flower King coldly laughed. He wanted to scold Ye Xiao but Ye Xiao stopped him before he said anything. “The Matchless Soul Valley is full of rocks. Nothing lives here. However, the Flower King, who is famous for the flowers, actually has stayed in this place for so many years, who has abandoned the fame and glories of the old days… Well, I think you are terribly in need of life energy…
“I can see it when you hungrily collected all the life energy in this place… I think you are the reason why this place becomes an area of death.
“You can’t deny it. Look at your dull face. That is good proof. You are powerful enough to force the life energy to accumulate on you, but you can’t bring your lively face back. Your face looks dead. That is not all. When you made the attacks, your eyes looked sharp and fierce, but they seemed to be gray. What does it mean? You don’t need me to tell you, do you?”
Ye Xiao stared at the Flower King with cold eyes. “You were famous as the King of all Flowers, yet you are here waiting for death. That is weird. As I looked at you, I didn’t find anything wrong about your health. That makes it weirder…
“I guess… When you were controlling the flowers, some special flowers must have made an impact on you! You lost a lot of your original life energy because of it. The reason why you can still stand here is evidently due to the lives of the flowers you have been using. You used the lives to support your own living. You are the Flower King, and you can live with the support of the flowers in this place. However, you have to stay here. You can’t leave anymore.”
Ye Xiao seemed to be sure about it, and he talked decisively.
The Flower King was shocked. He raised up his head and stared at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao continued to say, “Well, you are the Flower King. You were the famous King of all Flowers. You were one of the most powerful cultivators in the world. That flower must be extraordinary… It actually hurts you so much… I guess the flower must have grown with the rich energy from the sky and earth for a very long time…
“However, you were so powerful… Even if the flower already had obtained personality, it couldn’t hurt you so bad…”
Ye Xiao decisively said, “According to your current situation, it must be a flower that was as powerful as the four Great Spiritual Plants, or was it one of the four Great Spiritual Plants?”
The Flower King was shocked. He was astonished!
Ye Xiao paused and stared at the Flower King’s face. He noticed the weird look of the Flower King, so he knew that he was right.
Bab gave him hints through mind connection from the Boundless Space, which gave Ye Xiao more confidence.
He continued and said, “It seems I am right. Ain’t I? It actually was one of the four Great Spiritual Plants… Let’s think deeper about it. The Herb of Darkness; the One Meter of Red; the Colorful Gourd; the Cane of Void! You are the Flower King, so I guess you wouldn’t be interested in the Cane of Void, the Colorful Gourd, and the Herb of Darkness, because they are not flowers. They don’t fit the King of all Flowers, do they? If I am right, you must have seen the One Meter of Red!”
The Flower King took a breath but didn’t say a word, just stood there.
Ye Xiao was restoring spiritual energy really fast with the help of the Boundless Space and the supreme dan beads. The wounds on him were healing fast as well. If the Flower King started to attack, Ye Xiao was already able to at least escape the battle.
However, the Flower King seemed to be powerless at the moment. The murderous intent was completely gone.
He was like a mud sculpture, standing there like a dead man.
The flowers all over the mountains immediately withered and died.
Apparently, what Ye Xiao said had shaken him down!
That was why Ye Xiao actually felt pity for the man a little. He said, “The One Meter of Red of the four Great Spiritual Plants… There is a red in its name, but it isn’t red. The One Meter of Red isn’t from a tree nor even a grass. It wasn’t even a flower. In fact, it is a colorful world…
“When you tried to control it with your special techniques, you made a mistake. It isn’t some flower that you can tame. It was reasonable that you got hurt!
“The power of the One Meter of Red that caused the injury was some extreme power from the colorful world… You must be very lucky because you are still alive. Maybe the One Meter of Red you saw didn’t want to kill you. I don’t know.
“As a human being, if you dare to challenge the rule of the world, you go against the will of the heavenly dao. However, there is always a line of hope in the mortal world! That is also the rule of the heavenly dao! You can still make use of the energy from the flowers here to keep yourself alive, because of this rule of the heavenly dao.
“You got a slight chance, and you made good use of it. However, if you can’t rescue yourself soon, you will eventually die.”
Ye Xiao looked at the Flower King and said, “I think you have heard of my name and my marvelous treatments in the Hall of Life and Death. I can help you find a way to stay alive, but it is your choice to make.”
The Flower King was shocked. He asked, “What choice?”
The Flower King just spoke, and then he realized it was a mistake. He was so eager for freedom, so he got the words to slip out before he thought carefully.
‘This young man… What capability does he have to help me remove the reverse impact?’
The Flower King knew a little about Ye Xiao, not the One Meter Higher Sky title, but as the owner of the Hall of Life and Death, the marvelous doctor. After all, it was quite shocking to the world. Since the Hall of Life and Death started, Ye Xiao had saved a lot of people from death. That was something impressing the entire world.
“Maybe you are right about my situation. Maybe you are right about the cause. Maybe you are the marvelous doctor as they say. But so what? Look at you. You are so weak. How do you give me such choices?”
The Flower King looked pretty upset. He coldly looked at Ye Xiao and said, “You are weak like an ant to me. With a slap of one hand, I can kill you and destroy your soul. Do you really think you can fool me? You are playing for time. You are taking the time to restore your energy and cure your wounds, aren’t you? You can get away from me once, but you won’t always be that lucky!”
“Do you really think you can help me? What can you do? Tell me more beautiful words?” The Flower King coldly said, “You are playing tricks to let me spare your life. I was impressed by your knowledge because you are young. Well, I have changed my mind…”
Ye Xiao laughed and said, “Why change your mind? I have said what I said. I am right about you. You know how important it is to you. Listen to yourself. You sound fierce, but with no murderous intent. Doesn’t it show your true intention?”
“Master Flower King, compared to your life, is your prestige really that important?” Ye Xiao blandly smiled and said, “Besides, do you think you really have the power to decide my life or death? If you want to threaten me and make me help you, you are making a mistake.”
Ye Xiao blandly said, “If I only want to leave, you can’t stop me. You can’t catch up with
me.”
The Flower King humphed and his eyes were flickering. “Really? Why don’t you try to run and see if I can get you?”
Before the Flower King finished, Ye Xiao laughed. The first moment, he was still staring at the Flower King and he wasn’t moving, but the next moment, he was weirdly gone!
There were only withered plants on the rocks and the Flower King was alone.
The Flower King didn’t accept this. He immediately operated his spiritual mind to search for Ye Xiao’s traces. However, the result turned out to be nothing!
Ye Xiao was gone in a thousand miles around him.
In other words, Ye Xiao had left the Matchless Soul Valley!
However, the Flower King had just seen Ye Xiao standing right there and speaking loudly.
He felt like Ye Xiao was still staring at him in the eyes with sharpness still intact, but Ye Xiao was already gone.
He just disappeared without a sound.
The Flower King was shivering deep in his heart.
Ye Xiao told him that he could always leave. “If I only want to leave, you can’t stop me. You can’t catch up with me.”
The Flower King didn’t believe it. “Really? Why don’t you try to run and see if I can get you?”
Now, Ye Xiao had answered the question with action. ‘I am gone! Why don’t you try to stop me now?’
‘I dare you to try to escape me!’
‘Fine! I am gone!’
The Flower King bitterly smiled.
It turned out to be so easy for Ye Xiao to leave. The Flower King did not even have time to make a reaction.
Suddenly, a shadow flashed. Ye Xiao appeared quietly just like he disappeared.
He stood at the same spot, staring at the Flower King with the same look.
It felt like he had never been away.
However, in his eyes, it was a sneer.
It seemed he was saying, “I leave when I want to leave. There is nothing you can do to stop me!”
The Flower King was surprised. He bitterly smiled and said, “You do have the power to come and go quietly as you wish. I am impressed. At the same time, you are right. What you said about me, it is true!”
The Flower King paused and said, “However, if you insist that you are powerful enough to help me, I have to say that you are making a joke. I am restricted, not by any human power, so there is nobody that can free me. Just forget it. I am not capable of keeping you here, so the Matchless Soul Valley is a free land to you, Monarch Ye. You can go now.”
“It must be fate that brought us together. Before you go, Monarch Ye, I want to tell you something. The Matchless Soul Valley is the first of the nineteen passes. I am afraid none of the rest will be as easy as this one. Take care.” The Flower King blandly smiled and took a breath of relief. It seemed he had put down a burden. As he spoke, he looked elegant and strong, just like a top-level powerful cultivator in the world.
Ye Xiao seriously said, “Master Flower King, you may know little about me, but you must know one thing. As the owner of the Monarch’s Hall and the Hall of Life and Death, my promise is never a joke.”
The Flower King tiredly smiled and said, “I do believe that the Hall of Life and Death can bring life back from death. However, the impact from the One Meter of Red isn’t something the medicinal technique can remove. There is no cure for my injury. There is nothing we can do to stop it. If people can cure the injuries caused by the One Meter of Red, it wouldn’t be one of such Great Spiritual Plants.”
Ye Xiao nodded and said, “That is quite right. In ancient times, the name of the One Meter of Red was decided, and the world was shocked. Everybody was in the mortal world. Even though people tried to get away from the colorful world, the world always got on people. Nothing in the world can deal with the One Meter of Red. However, it is a basic rule in the mortal world that every problem has a solution. The One Meter of Red was one thing in the mortal world, so there must be at least one way to solve this problem!”
Ye Xiao casually waved his hand and a glittering stream of purple light showed up. The purple light was in a narrow stream which was as narrow as a finger. However, the purple light seemed to bring all the pure purple qi together from the sky.
The world seemed to lose its color.
The lively qi in the purple light actually brought something green to this wasted land!
The Flower King’s pupils shrunk. An expert could always tell true expertise. He was an expert in planting flowers. He had lived in the Matchless Soul Valley for nearly one hundred thousand years, and this was the first time he had ever seen such a picture in this area.
Ye Xiao flicked a finger, and the purple light dashed out and quietly landed on the palm of the Flower King’s hand.
When the purple chaotic light flew into his hand, he felt like he was holding all the lives in the world in one hand. He felt extreme joy and happiness!
The purple light landed on his palm and then immediately entered his body. It went all over his body. That purple light nourished every bit of his Jing and Mai from inside out.
His life energy was damaged because of the reverse impact from the One Meter of Red. Now, a new and clear stream was running into his body.
It brought energy to him without making a sound.
It was only a small amount of energy, but it already touched the softest part of his heart. The Flower King almost cried in tears of joy!
