Otherworldly Evil Monarch

“Jun Ye…” Miao Xiao Miao called out lightly.

Her tears had already drowned those two brilliant eyes long ago.

She had already formed the habit of calling out this name whenever she felt happy, sad, or lost. It was as if this name would let her calm down for some reason, settling her heart.

However, this time, those two same words had lost their previous effects. In fact, she felt like her heart had become even more messy!

The night was deep, and even the brilliant moon seemed to have paled a little.

Miao Xiao Miao remained standing silently at the window for a long time, not moving at all.

This is Jun Mo Xie’s room, so if I’m staying here, where will he go? Would he be spending the night in the room of one of those pretty Elder sisters?

With that thought, Miao Xiao Miao found to her surprise that a sense of jealousy had risen in her heart.

He is Mo Jun Ye… he is Jun Ye…

Why? Why?!

She lamented bitter. At the same time, she had not noticed that she’d referred to Mei Xue Yan, Guan Qing Han, and the rest as those pretty elder sisters…

All of a sudden, a soft howl rang out from the wind as an almost ethereal feeling of something that had perfectly blended into the Heavens and Earth swept past…

Miao Xiao Miao’s heart shook, and she looked towards that direction in an almost subconscious way.

Jun Mo Xie’s room naturally had the best view in the entire Evil Monarch Manor. It was also the most spacious room. From here, a full 10,000 li of Tian Fa could be seen.

Following that, Miao Xiao Miao’s eyes grew wide to the extreme. Far off in the forest, a white shadow rose slowly and gracefully into the sky. The ascend of this shadow was smooth, as if it were stepping on invisible steps.

Jun Mo Xie!

What is he doing?

Miao Xiao Miao’s heart shook and she looked over.

Jun Mo Xie was actually feeling extremely depressed in his heart. To him, this matter before him was something that he’d never experienced even in both his lives. So the moment dinner was finished, he’d run off alone.

Young Master Jun went into the depths of Tian Fa Forest alone, chose a large tree, and leapt onto it.

Finding a large branch, he lay down, using his arm as a pillow. After that, he closed his eyes tightly.

This was the method he’d used to calm and relax himself in his past life, and it always worked very well for him. But tonight, Jun Mo Xie discovered that this method was not working. He could not quiet his heart no matter what and the longer he stayed in that deep silence, the more noise his heart made.

Frustrated, he opened his eyes and looked up at the gentle moonlight flowing down from the sky like a river. Laughing bitterly, he said, “You are still the best ah, no matter where I go, I can always look up and see you. No matter which world I’m in, you still remain there, worryless, quiet and indifferent. In the blink of an eye, the oceans have already passed away and turned into fields of mulberry… even if the entire world changes, you are still the same…”

What worries can the moonlight know? Cool, silvery rays landed gently on his body.

Cold as always, gentle and graceful as always.

As he watched the moon from afar, Jun Mo Xie breathed out heavily and suddenly fell silent.

In that moment, he thought of those words that he’d said a moment ago.

‘No matter which world I’m in, you still remain there, worryless, quiet and indifferent. In the blink of an eye, the oceans have already passed away and turned into fields of mulberry… even if the entire world changes, you are still the same…’

In that moment, Jun Mo Xie seemed to have comprehended something.

That sudden flash of comprehension caused him to suddenly go from a state of extreme frustration to a supernatural state where his heart was as still as a pool of water! It was a transformation from extreme chaos to extreme stillness! A transformation of two extreme states that opposed one another!

The most extreme contrast!

And this transformation had not even taken one second!

However, this transformation had given Jun Mo Xie a nearly supernatural switch!

At this time, it was like a huge dam in his heart had shattered like a mirror, turning into powder!

No more obstructions!

Jun Mo Xie’s mind instantly soared into the dark sky, travelling without limit!

A breakthrough!

The Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune and the Hongjun Pagoda had once again broken through. At the point when Jun Mo Xie was the most distressed, it’d suddenly come!

In the instant Jun Mo Xie’s body floated up, he finally unleashed a long howl!

When Jun Mo Xie’s heart sank into that state of extreme emptiness, he immediately comprehended many things! Or rather, many words and meanings flooded into his heart in that instant!

Understand the mind and finding the true self, my heart is the Heavens and Earth!

Born in the realms of Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Earth is in my heart! Heaven and Earth is like my heart, and my heart is like the Heaven and Earth!

All matter, all life, all doctrines, all states, are up to the heart! That is all it is!

With a single will, the winds will rise and thunders fall, with a single will, all life can be decimated!

My heart is the Heavens and Earth, and so my body is all of creation!

The mountains and rivers may remain still, but when I move, the mountains and rivers will overturn!

Heaven and Earth may be ancient, but if I perish, the Heaven and Earth shall perish with me!

One liang can contend against 10,000 jin, and softness at its extremities is also hard without compare!

One able force can subdue 10 opponents, and hardness at its extremities is also soft without compare!

What is hard?

What is soft?

If I say it’s hard, it shall be hard, and if I say it’s soft, it shall be soft!

A thousand li of land and water are free for me to traverse!

Yin-yang and the universe are within my control!

Who shall be called heroes! It belongs only to me!

Jun Mo Xie’s body was still in his original lying position as he rose slowly into the air. His arms maintained the same position behind his head as a pillow. In that awkward position, he rose slowly into the air, far above the tallest tree. Although the momentum was slow, there were no deviations!

At this moment, all the worries and thoughts in Jun Mo Xie’s heart had already disappeared. There were only a clarity in his mind, and his spirit was completely transparent. He was like a carp swimming freely through the sky; whether it was standing in the void, raising his hand or kicking with his feet, nothing obstructed the will in his heart. Even though he was suspended in midair, it was as if he were standing on solid ground, and he could do any actions he wanted without any difference.

There was truly no difference!

“HAHAHA…” Jun Mo Xie laughed aloud, his spirit and body completely free. Flipping around and doing a handstand in the air, he suddenly shot upwards like a rocket!

His sleeves fluttered gently in the wind, and he soared above the clouds!

Tall as the skies are, only I stand firmly upon it!

Looking down upon the rivers and mountains, glancing disdainfully at all living things!

Yes, he had broken through again, and it was a breakthrough in all areas! It was not just the Hongjun Pagoda and the Art of Unlocking Heaven’s Fortune breaking through at the same time, but Jun Mo Xie’s cultivation had also taken a large and profound step forward!

The original Jun Mo Xie was known for guaranteeing a kill with every single strike, and every move he made was with the intention to claim his enemy’s life. This was supposedly the most effective assassination technique, because the most perfect defence is a perfect attack!

But anything in its extreme form is easily broken. There are flaws in an all out attack, since if the all out attack is stopped, only death awaits. The enemy would never give him the chance to try again.

His defence was simply not sufficient!

Attacking may be the best defense, but if the attack failed, the most perfect opening would also appear! And once that opening was created, it would naturally expose the most lethal weakness!

Having a strong attack and weak defence had always been where Jun Mo Xie’s greatest weakness lay. Jun Mo Xie himself was also very clear about that, and he’d also thought about improving on that as well. However, he’d never managed to do so.

The concept of attacking as the best defense had already been deeply ingrained into his spirit!

A habit that spanned two lives had already merged into all of his battle techniques. How could it be that easy to change?

But this time, this gentle and all encompassing moonlight had caused Jun Mo Xie to suddenly get a flash of inspiration!

Hardness and softness was the complete fusion in the truest sense! Complete integration and transparent!

Softness was a kind of strength, and hardness was also a kind of strength. Soft can become hard, and hard can also be soft!

This was a concept very similar to Taiji. But unlike Taiji, which was born of the infinite and everlasting. It mainly emphasised on using softness to counter hardness, borrowing strength to strike against strength. What Mo Xie had comprehended was that hardness and softness were the same thing, not apart from each other!

At this moment, Jun Mo Xie thoroughly forgot everything outside, forgetting where he was at the moment, forgetting all the things between Heaven and Earth. He only felt endless joy in his heart, and he wanted to display the martial Dao that he had just comprehended to show the joy in his heart!

With a step of his foot, he made a series of strange postures in mid-air. He slowly raised his hands, supple like spring water, but the hands that were raised up suddenly stretched out towards the side in seemingly random ways. With a single move, he’d already struck out tens of times!

If anyone with profound cultivation could see this scene, they would definitely not be able to believe their eyes. They would think that Young Master Jun was displaying some magic tricks, to actually be able to execute such high difficulty movements in midair.

Because in the eyes of others, Young Master Jun had only raised his hands softly. But in the next instant, it was as if he’d turned into a Thousand Hands Guanyin! Each action was soft to the extreme, and no one would feel that those strikes contained any power! But in actuality, each move was filled with incredible strength!

Sliding his foot out, his shoulders moved along as his waist and body swayed along with the wind. Each movement could be seen clearly, but they all left behind a series of afterimages. Each afterimage made the same movement and remained in the sky for a long time, not having any signs of dissipating.

As Jun Mo Xie’s movements became faster and faster, the afterimages in the air became denser and more compact, covering the entire sky!

At first, it was only about three zhang wide, then it gradually expanded to tens of zhang, hundreds of zhang, thousands of zhang, until finally, the entire sky was filled with Jun Mo Xie’s shadow, forming into a huge patch of cloud!

And from the start to the end, not a single afterimage had dissipated!

Such a phenomenon was truly akin to magic!
