Chapter 176: Five-Colored Stone Shapes the Body, Emotion Song Reaches the Heavens
At the summit of Celestial Vein Sword Mountain.
According to the legends from the outer world, the rift that truly delves into Heaven would present an apocalyptic scene, yet the reality here was unexpectedly stable.
Because...
"Why do you think our elders made it so stable here?"
True Man He idly swung his sword, gazing at the vast empty domain showcasing different sheens from various angles, feeling quite helpless.
"We need the outside world to believe we're too preoccupied during Celestial Vein's fall, and that's the only way to catch some fish."
Another True Man, dressed in a gray robe and wearing coarse cloth shoes, stared thoughtfully at the distant halo, "But the fall of Celestial Vein this time is indeed peculiar; could it be that those juniors blessed by Qi Fortune came here, causing this?"
After all, Celestial Vein was something crafted by the ancestors of various sects to define Heaven and Earth. Even though they subsequently erased all memories about this, they still left behind some opportunities within.
While these opportunities mainly favored the disciples of each sect, they were just slightly tilted. Loose Cultivators, Demon Path, and even the Demon Race could also receive these opportunities.
Generally, if someone has extraordinary Qi Fortune, Celestial Vein would shed a few fragments containing all sorts of "treasures" once used to define Heaven and Earth.
The reason these treasures never run out.
The two True Men exchanged glances, communicating with Divine Sense, "I truly admire that predecessor from the Four Seasons Sect.
If not for her using Xi Soil as earth and the Nine Divine Springs to channel, transforming Celestial Dao into a giant nursery, how could there be such a constant outflow of treasures?"
The gray-robed True Man shrugged, relaxing further, "Everything can be cultivated; isn't that the Four Seasons Sect's ideology?
I heard that if our founder hadn't stopped her, she would have almost moved the nascent foundation of Celestial Dao directly to the Upper Realm.
Such fertile soil even she considered incomparable in her lifetime."
"Precisely because of this, she specifically plotted with our founder on how to open up Heaven, causing the founder to be backlashed by Celestial Power and straightforwardly reincarnate."
Speaking of reincarnation, her face showed an indescribable smile, which made the gray-robed True Man couldn't help but grimace.
He pointed afar, "But, to say who Celestial Dao favors more, that's quite clear."
—Following his direction, in the depths of the glazed light, they saw a vast Celestial Vein wrapped in five-colored halos slowly detaching and falling.
…
The Sword Cultivator's guess was indeed not wrong.
Li Ye, stepping forward on golden light, always felt a chill on the back of his head as if something was aiming at him.
He wanted to find it in one fell swoop, but the complex Spiritual Power environment here rapidly drained his Mana, not to mention Shuang Li who could not use his magic and had been dragged along by Li Ye, already rolling his eyes.
So he had to stop temporarily and unceremoniously threw Shuang Li to the ground, "You can't even endure this little bit of trouble!"
Shuang Li, having been hit and healed by Li Ye and now tossed around, completely lost all temper, only hoping this unpredictable Cultivator of the Four Seasons Sect could act a little more normally.
Sprawled out on the ground, he was about to speak to Li Ye when he noticed fragments of light appearing behind the latter—they were Celestial Vein fragments, about to strike Li Ye's head.
Li Ye seemed oblivious, still squinting his eyes to scrutinize a certain place.
Didn't notice?
A thought flickered in his mind.
Even if what Li Ye promised of food and lodging couldn't surpass freedom.
For a moment, he thought he might just leave things as they were, given his current injury; even saying nothing seemed acceptable.
Originally, that was his thought and intention.
But an inexplicable shiver made him feel as if the base of his hidden tail was tingling, his body leaping forward, "Master, dodge!"
Then, something more thrilling happened—formerly oblivious, the corners of Li Ye's mouth curved up; while grabbing him, he cast a sheet of Spiritual Power, collecting the incoming Celestial Vein fragments into his sleeves.
The whole process was smooth and seamless.
He didn't even turn his head before easily resolving the crisis.
This bastard was pretending!
At this moment he felt immense gratitude for making the right choice, smiling fawningly at Li Ye before touching the ground steadily.
"That's more like it."
While inspecting the Celestial Vein fragments, Li Ye laughed, "Not every danger should be borne by me, the master... By the way, why don't you sniff around a bit here?
Perhaps there's something of interest."
Sniff around?
I am of the Silver Frost Wolf Race!
Shuang Li wanted to howl in anger but instantly nodded his compliance, "Yes!"
He transformed into a massive silver frost wolf, standing over a person tall, with a well-balanced physique of fur and muscle, then began sniffing around.
Soon, an incredulous expression appeared on his wolf face as he unearthed a corpse buried in the ground—a wolf carcass slightly leaner than himself.
Dead?
His brother, the culprit competing for resources, was about to form a Golden Core, carrying a treasure, fighting just below the few dozen who infiltrated.
"See?"
Li Ye approached the pit he had dug, extending a hand to summon a small glow from the neck of the wolf corpse into his palm.
Shuang Li could see clearly.
