Chapter 1253: Rules Trial Field
Chapter 1253: Rules Trial Field
…
His surroundings darkened. When his consciousness awakened, Qin Yu found that he had returned to Stranded God Canyon. Everything was the same as before, except for the fact that no one was here besides him.
Mm…Snowside.
Things had gotten a bit muddled with her. He had placed her in the East Zhou Family and left without saying a word. But thinking about it, with East Zhou Duly there, she shouldn’t be wronged.
And now Qin Yu’s name had spread throughout the world. With the East Zhou Family’s strength, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to verify this, and it would be even more impossible for them to make things hard for her.
Even so, once he had finished his trip to the Lost Garden, he should go looking for her and see if she was willing to live at the Peach Garden.
As Qin Yu was in thought, the stone pagoda sounded out, “Master, if you really need it, women can also be created. With just a bit more strength, you can condense and create an exact copy. Really, it’s the exact same! There won’t be any problem at all!”
The words overflowed with confidence.
Qin Yu was dumbfounded. But then his face darkened and he clenched his teeth. Was this the impression that he gave off?
I haven’t shown any problems, so what do you think of me?
If it weren’t for the fact that I still need you alive and jumping to maintain the revolution of the rules trial field, I would immediately teach you the fate of those who speak too much!
“Can you sense my thoughts?”
The stone pagoda cautiously said, “A little.”
“That’s not allowed at all!”
“…Yes.”
…
Qin Yu finally realized why Old Turtle said that this was an excellent cultivation opportunity. The ability to obtain a massive and free amount of power to maintain the revolution of the rules trial field was naturally part of the reason.
But an even more important reason was that Qin Yu discovered that in his current state, due to the existence of the source of life, the speed at which he comprehended the rules was frighteningly fast.
This was confirmed by Old Turtle. The source of life was a lucky chance bred by the Lost Garden. Placed within, one could obtain support from the Lost Garden’s will.
Or to be more precise, it was the remnant will of those formidable ancient life forms who constructed this place in the past.
According to Old Turtle’s viewpoint, this was a lingering obsession. But anyone that received the Lost Garden’s approval would receive assistance in their cultivation and an accelerated ability to perceive the rules of the heavens and earth was just one of these bonuses. It just happened to be the most suitable for Qin Yu.
He had already stepped onto the True God’s Path and there was no possibility of going back and restarting, so what use was there in hesitating? Continue cultivating!
…
Besides the start where Cang Zhu was separated from Tan Hai, her luck was relatively good. It wasn’t long before she found him.
However, Tan Hai hadn’t been in a good situation. Later, for some unknown reason, the mantis beasts that were chasing after them retreated on their own initiative, and only then could they be considered as having turned danger into safety.
Looking at Tan Hai’s exhausted face and the smile he barely managed to force out, Cang Zhu wasn’t able to say the words she wanted to.
When the black storm swept into the distance, she pulled Tan Hai back to look. But in the end she didn’t find anything.
Tan Hai asked what she was looking for, but Cang Zhu shook her head and didn’t say anything.
If that fellow hadn’t died, she would repay him if they met in the future. If he had already died, then it didn’t matter if she said anything.
“Cang Zhu, we should go.” Tan Hai softly said as he closed the jade plate in his hands. Looking at her profile and her furrowed eyebrows, he worried a little.
After the great incident from before, she still hadn’t had such an expression. Tan Hai wanted to know just what exactly happened in the black storm while they were separated.
But even though his cousin Cang Zhu didn’t seem to show anything on the surface, she was actually an extremely thoughtful and determined person, otherwise he wouldn’t be forced to accompany her on her crazy adventures.
If she didn’t want to talk about it, asking her was useless.
Cang Zhu’s eyelids trembled. She closed her eyes and opened them. With one final glance behind her, she stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
The two walked towards a certain place in the Lost Garden. If one watched from high up in the sky, they would find that even though there were some twists and turns in their path, it was more or less a straight line. It seemed they knew exactly where they were going.
…
Elder senior-apprentice brother stood in front of the corpse of a giant beast and gently stroked it. The surface of its body was clear and smooth and the scales seemed to be carved from crystal. He sighed with admiration and a bit of regret.
How lucky was he to seemingly cross the endless river of time and meet this sort of life form that only existed in ancient times? But what a pity, today’s situation was different and he couldn’t take this life form out of the Lost Garden. He could only kill it.
After thinking for a bit, elder senior-apprentice brother took out a small knife and started to peel off the scales.
The small knife was ordinary, but in the hands of elder senior-apprentice brother it seemed sharp and dexterous. He plunged it into a slit of the scales, and took them off with a flick of his wrist.
Lei Xiaoyu walked over with a smile. “Elder senior-apprentice brother, what are you doing?”
Without turning his head, elder senior-apprentice brother said, “Little junior-apprentice brother cultivates the True God’s Path, and perceiving the rules of the heavens and earth is the foundation of that. The textures of these scales are the embodiment of the rules, so bringing them back might be helpful to him.”
Lei Xiaoyu’s eyes flashed but she didn’t say anything. She only looked at a giant green crystal on the ground. Its color was deep, almost the deepest shade of green, like a massive glowing green jade.
“Elder senior-apprentice brother, Azure Dragon hasn’t fully grown up, so would the strength of the source of life here be too strong? If it cannot eat it all up, it might be in danger.”
Elder senior-apprentice brother paused and smiled, “I understand junior-apprentice sister’s meaning, but master said that Azure Dragon’s talent is extraordinary. The Lost Garden might be a lucky chance for you and me, but for it, this is a good fortune that defies the heavens and will allow it to change its fate. So let’s be patient for a while. Does junior-apprentice sister understand my meaning?”
Lei Xiaoyu nodded. “I understand. Since this is master’s intent, please pretend that I didn’t say anything. Senior-apprentice brother, continue what you are doing. I’m too lazy to move so I won’t help you peel the scales.”
She turned and left.
Elder senior-apprentice brother revealed a helpless expression. He knew that his junior-apprentice sister was dissatisfied, but he also knew her personality and was aware that she wouldn’t become angry just from this.
It was just that saying he was peeling the scales wasn’t too pleasant to hear. The warmth and loving concern he showed for his little junior-apprentice brother’s cultivation was completely ruined.
With a smile, elder senior-apprentice brother turned back around and got to work.
…
“Have you found them yet?”
“Trash!”
“Figure out a way to find them as soon as possible. That woman absolutely cannot be allowed to undo her seal!”
“If you cannot handle this matter, then all of you should prepare yourselves to stay here forever!”
Whoosh –
Whoosh –
With the sound of breaking air, over a dozen figures howled into the distance.
A black-robed man frowned, his hands held behind his back. Small cracking sounds came from his fists, like rattling bones as well as colliding iron and stone.
“Cang Zhu, you cannot escape. This is your life. From the day you were born, you were doomed!”
…
The giant monkey was impatient. It had already waited to the point that it tormented itself, but it still forced itself to wait here.
Just a step, it had just been a step away, and the source of life would have been its…not to mention that it was its thing to begin with!
Many years ago, the giant monkey had discovered the secret hidden beneath the roots of the great tree. But at that time the source of life had just formed, so its effect was extremely limited.
The giant monkey hesitated over and over before deciding to wait.
This period of waiting lasted for many, many years. There were numerous times when it almost couldn’t endure it, but it kept thinking that if the source of life could absorb more strength, then its quality would be higher.
Finally, not too long ago, the giant monkey deliberately provoked a dispute and forcibly drove away several competitors as it prepared to enjoy this long-awaited feast.
But just as the battle finished, it didn’t have enough time to return before the black storm arrived. The giant monkey desperately fought in order to not be swept away.
With great difficulty, the giant monkey lasted until the black storm passed through. It didn’t dare to delay as it raced back, but by then something had gone wrong.
It smelled the scent of the source of life in the air, and it almost went insane. So even though it knew that the barrier from the source of life couldn’t be broken, it still struck out in anger until its hand was left shaken and bloody.
Wait!
No longer how much time passed, it would wait. It had to grab that bastard and swallow him up!
That is my source of life! Mine! Since you stole it, I will eat you!
Of course, the reason the giant monkey made this decision was because it hadn’t sensed any auras of formidable life forms in the surrounding area.
The environment that creatures from ancient times had to survive in was far more dangerous that it was today. After living for so many years, it had more or less managed to become the overlord of this area and defend this source of life. And the giant monkey’s keen sensory abilities were an important reason for why it succeeded.
This was where its confidence came from.
Kacha –
A light sound entered the giant monkey’s ears. Its ears pricked up and it stood up, its stone stick in hand. During this entire process, it didn’t make a single sound.
Its ice cold and brutal eyes were filled with excitement. He was finally coming out! He was finally coming out! This monkey brother’s stone stick had been thirstily waiting for far too long already!
The ‘ice layer’ began to crack. Then, more and more sounds came out, spreading like a spider web.
Bang –
It shattered!
The giant monkey roared out loud and its stone stick came crashing down like a bolt of lightning. The shocking momentum caused the air to release a series of explosive sounds.
But before the stone stick struck the pit, it froze in place, along with the giant monkey. The transition from extreme speed to no movement at all was jarring.
“Maybe my destiny really doesn’t suit the Lost Garden, otherwise why do I have to face an attack before I can even catch my breath?” Qin Yu sighed with emotion as he stepped out. He looked at the frozen giant monkey. There was some helplessness on his face as well as some joy.
As expected, the True God’s Path really was worthy of being regarded as being capable of fighting anything as long as he had enough rules. The speed at which his strength improved was dazzling.
Ah…to be more precise, having the luxury of using the rules trial field to carry out his cultivation wasn’t much different from cheating.
Hum hum, cheating was cheating. But if the increase in power was real, all else was useless. Besides, it wasn’t like anyone else could use this sort of cheat method. If someone else was envious, they could try and do it themselves!
Mm, that’s right, it was more or less like this.
Finally feeling relaxed and at ease, Qin Yu snapped his fingers. The frozen giant monkey was instantly torn apart.
The scent of blood filled the senses!
