319 - Elder, It's You?
“Oh? Where’s my brother? I can’t see him?”
Ximen Yeshui evaluated his surroundings. Within the crowd, he could not see Ye Qingyu at all.
As Qin Zhishui heard this, he also hurriedly began searching amongst his surroundings.
There were only about twenty or so people on the yard. Sweeping his eyes everywhere, he really did not see Ye Qingyu’s figure.
“My silly brother, will he still be burying the dead people below the mountain?” Ximen Yeshui’s face had gone green. “At this time, how can he not even be the slightest hasty, and act so slow and leisurely… But thankfully, there are at least over ten thousand yellow tiles below us. Even if he comes late, he will definitely be able to obtain a piece, and obtain the formation light seal.”
Qin Zhishui nodded his head. “En, brother Ximen is correct. He does not need to be too impatient.”
The greedy people near them had already began to see if they could activate other yellow stone tiles, to see if they could obtain other formation seal lights nearby. But evidently, they were not successful. No matter how hard they tried, they had no way of activating a second yellow stone tile.
If their guesses were not wrong, although there were over ten thousand of these tiles, each person could only obtain a single tile.
When the blue seal light was transferred to the person’s palm, the yellow stone tile they were standing on before would become empty. There would not be any trace left behind.
“That’s not right, this should not be the entire legacy of the [Formation Sovereign], his majesty Luo So,” here was someone that suddenly shouted.
Everyone turned to look at him.
This was an old man that seemed especially fierce. He had long hair, half completely black like ink and half completely white like snow. It was like yin and yang, and seemed extremely strange. His eyebrows stood like steel needles, nearly forming a straight ‘one’ character, a completely horizontal line. There was a blood red blade scar on his right eyebrow, and his aura was as piercing as an eagle, his gaze extremely sharp.
“Everyone, if my guess is not wrong, the true legacy of his majesty Luo So, is within the divine palace. What we just received is just a little appetizer. Don’t be satisfied yet, we still need to work together to enter into the divine palace to truly obtain the absolute treasure,” the fierce yin and yang old man advised.
“Haha, [Yin Yang Monarch], don’t you always act alone? Why is it today you suggested that we should work together? Could the world have completely changed?” Someone sneered as they stood out. It was an old man that was chubby and short, like he was a meatball. There was a pair of half moon shaped shields behind his back, that when joined together, would look like a turtle shell. His aura was equally powerful.
“Haha, Turtle Shell immortal, yesterday is not like today. When the matter concerns the absolute most sacred treasure of the Human Race, we must be more cautious. If we cooperate, we will have a higher chance of obtaining the treasure…” The [Yin Yang Monarch] laughed like he was chuckling at a retard.
“Hmph, you know best what kind of intentions you yourself have.” The Turtle Shell immortal said with a snort.
But many people were moved by the words of the [Yin Yang Monarch].
The human heart would never know when to be satisfied.
After they obtained something, they would want to obtain more.
Everyone’s gaze turned towards the divine palace.
When they had previously arrived at the open yard, when they stepped onto the yellow stone tiles, they could not help but enter into a state of comprehension. Therefore, they still had not entered the divine palace.
Seeing the divine palace now, everyone’s eyes were filled with an excited glimmer.
“My little brother, why have you still not appeared. If you come later, not to mention meat, you can’t even drink the soup.” Ximen Yeshui was so impatient that he stamped his feet, pacing back and forth. Seeing that Ye Qingyu had not appeared yet, he was somewhat worried that he might have encountered some sort of danger.
Qin Zhishui also tensely looked about.
There were already people heading towards the divine palace.
Everyone very quickly arrived at the entrance to the divine palace.
There were people who were about to step onto the stone steps, but then was rejected soundly backwards by an invisible energy.
“En? What is this?”
There were other people that attempted to do this, but was similarly rejected from the stone steps.
“There’s a restriction?”
The [Yin Yang Monarch] also tried, but was also rejected by the invisible power. There was absolutely no way of stepping onto the stone steps. Leaping past the stone steps was absolutely impossible. Everywhere around the divine palace was a strange energy protecting it, there was no way of traversing it.
“Let’s just blow it open.” An expert coldly snorted. A powerful energy emitted from his hand, and struck towards the stone steps.
Boom!
An energy that was several times greater came rebounding backwards.
“Puh… Chi!”
This expert was sent flying backwards, blood spurting out from his mouth.
“This is the palace of the [Formation Sovereign]. It is not a wise choice to choose to attempt to forcefully enter it. If he wants to give it to you, you will obtain it. If he doesn’t want to give it to you, you won’t be able to forcefully gain it.” The expert that had the lower half of his body destroyed opened his mouth, “It seems that only those who are destined will be able to step onto the stone steps, and obtain the absolute treasure of the legacy.”
This person had a head of messy hair, dried up like wild grass. His muscles were engorged, and one could tell he was once incomparably muscular. But his lower half had been destroyed, and seemed devastating. However, the blue light seal in his palm emitted blue light, transforming into his legs and supporting his body.
“Haha, cultivation is going against the heavens, everything can be obtained. Crippled old bastard, your words are somewhat false,” the [Yin Yang Monarch] coldly sneered. “Could it be that you are about to leave the crowd, and give up on gaining something?”
“This person, is the [Heavenly Crippled Legs] Mo Lingfeng.” Ximen Yeshui had an expression like he had just seen a ghost, grabbing at the Qin Zhishui next to him.
Qin Zhishui was stunned. “That can’t be. Did we not just see his corpse in the blood red sea…”
“That was only half his body. Those monsters of the Heaven Ascension stage, even if they have lost half their body, they won’t die. They are really hard to kill…”
“Did you not say you have once seen him before?” Qin Zhishui suddenly thought of something. “You said, a hundred years ago, elder Mo had once appeared to your sect. In other words… you are already over a hundred years old?”
“Eh? No, I am only just twenty…” Ximen Yeshui stammered. “I said I had seen him, but he did not see me. I have many people in my sect… eh, why are we concerned with such unimportant matters. Right now, we should decide whether we should go back and find that bastard that likes to bury people, and help him get something from this place?”
Qin Zhishui gave this fellow a glance, about to nod his head.
At this time—
“The day that the divine palace will open has already passed. The fated person has already stepped into the divine palace. Everyone has already gained their own fortuitous encounter, so don’t trespass on the divine palace any longer. When the time is right, you will be sent away from the palace.”
There was a strict and authoritative voice that suddenly sounded out in the skies.
The voice appeared without any warning, like it was an absolute monarch that ruled over all life. There was an authority within its voice that could not be questioned.
Everyone felt their consciousness quaking, their hearts moved. They had no way of controlling themselves.
When the voice disappeared, the experts all looked at each other, shock in their eyes.
“Could it be… the voice of his majesty Luo So?”
“Impossible, his majesty Luo So has already… already passed. This… how?”
“No, perhaps it means… that his majesty Luo So did not perish. Heavens, if news of this was to be passed on…” There was someone that became moved.
The complexion of the [Yin Yang Monarch] changed constantly. He had a dark face, saying, “Hmph, don’t be so positive. It might not be his majesty Luo So, perhaps it is the voice a part of his consciousness has left behind, or perhaps… someone is pretending to be him?”
As these words were said, everyone’s heart was moved.
With such an absolute treasure in front of them, who would be willing to patiently wait and watch others obtain such a fortuitous encounter?
“Who is it? Who entered into the divine palace?”
“That’s not right. Those who entered at the start are all here… could it be someone that came later?”
People began discussing.
The experts who were able to come here were all people who had experienced countless killings. They had danced in endless mountains of corpses and oceans of blood. Their battle experience was unspeakably full, and they were all people who had absolute self confidence. They naturally would not act like obedient children after a sudden voice sounded out from the sky, and be willing to wait patiently.
There were still people who constantly attempted to break through the protection of the divine palace and forcefully enter.
There were even people who used the blue light seal in their hands, to attack the invisible barrier of the divine palace. But there was not the slightest hint of progress.
Ximen Yeshui and Qin Zhishui were behind the crowd, not attempting to even try to break past the protection of the divine palace.
“Hey, do you think the fellow who entered into the divine palace is my brother?” Ximen Yeshui spoke with a low voice.
Qin Zhishui was taken aback, “This… is hard to say.”
“Haha, if in the end the legacy of the [Formation Sovereign] was obtained by that fellow that likes to bury people while everyone bitterly ran everywhere, this would be really far too amusing.” Ximen Yeshui had a tone of delighting in others misfortune.
Qin Zhishui had an exasperated tone as he said to him, “Could it be that you do not want to obtain your own fortuitous encounter?”
Ximen Yeshui laughed at him, spreading his hands wide. “I have already obtained the blue formation seal. My limit for fortuitous encounters has already been reached. Humans have to know when to be satisfied. Haha, furthermore, my brother obtaining it is the same as me obtaining it. I am only curious, just what sort of fortuitous encounter it is. Could it really be the inheritance of his majesty Luo So?”
The two spoke in suppressed voices.
But they were still heard by people beside them.
The [Yin Yang Monarch] ‘s gaze landed on Ximen Yeshui. He frowned, saying, “Your brother is who? What’s he called?”
The aura of a Heaven Ascension expert instantly descended.
Qin Zhishui felt like a stone was pressed against his heart. When the gaze of the [Yin Yang Monarch] landed on him, he had a feeling of suffocation.
But Ximen Yeshui did not even pay the [Yin Yang Monarch] a look. Pressing his lips together, “That’s none of your bloody business.”
The gaze full of wisdom instantly became poisonous and sinister.
……
……
“Elder, it’s you?”
Ye Qingyu was surprised.
When the gates of the divine palace had opened and he was dragged in by the power of thunder, Ye Qingyu bitterly struggled but was not able to escape. The power of lightning was not the same as normal lighting. It constantly traversed throughout Ye Qingyu’s body, like it was a heavenly punishment, nearly tearing him apart.
