365: Chapter 89 Leap Out of the Bounds 365: Chapter 89 Leap Out of the Bounds “Boom!”
In the void, peals of thunder sounded and snowflakes mingled with pieces of paper swept into the Starfire Gate.
Xie Xuanyi stared at the gate for a moment.
Within the gate, subtly nestled, were the ways of Taoist talisman formations.
Had he not stolen the talismanic techniques from Tang Fengshu, he truly wouldn’t have recognized the casual craftsmanship…
From whence did Lord Lu acquire such profound Dao?
“I do not want your belonging.
I’m returning it to you.”
After a moment, Xie Xuanyi shook his head.
He noticed the heavy cloak on his shoulder and hurriedly took it off to return it.
“The cold makes you add a piece of clothing, yet you fuss over it as if I mistook your kindness for a donkey’s liver and lungs.”
“Enough… if you are happy, so be it.”
Lu Yuzhen, unable to do anything, didn’t mind and took it back with both hands, tossing it back into the Grotto Heaven on his forehead, lightly saying, “Stop staring at that door.
All over the world, it’s not just you who can ‘steal’ from the Taoist gate.
Such techniques of the Transmission Array are mere trifles, not worth mentioning.
Hurry on, don’t delay the hour.”
Xie Xuanyi knew that Lu Yuzhen couldn’t really do anything to him.
Similarly, he couldn’t do anything to Lu Yuzhen either.
It appeared the man had a mind-reading superpower.
The thoughts in his own mind often just circulated for a moment before being captured and precisely read by the other.
He sighed lightly and stepped into the gate.
Snow was replaced by sand, and the howling snowstorms turned into charges of the Iron Cavalry.
After stepping into the gate.
The oncoming sand, carrying a rich scent of blood, dragged Xie Xuanyi back to that ancient battlefield of a thousand years ago, where he once again returned to the “Illusion.” Everywhere were Iron Cavalry charging, countless Chiliarchs carrying the Dragon Destruction Dao Principle arrow boxes, leading their troops like a flood towards the central pillar of light on the battlefield.
This time, the only difference from before was that…
Xie Xuanyi was no longer alone.
“Look, the conflicts of this world are never-ending.”
Lu Yuzhen, with his hands behind his back, softly lamented, “Where there are people, there is the worldly society.
Where there is worldly society, there are conflicts.
Ten people, a hundred, a thousand… The more people, the more intense the fighting.
The contradictions among tens of thousands of people evolve into conflicts between nations and tribes, and ultimately war becomes inevitable.”
“In an unnoticed corner, this battle against dragons has continuously persisted for a thousand years.”
These thousand years—
The illusion of the Great Yue Kingdom had never ceased.
Black Evil surged, fighting boiled over.
Ultimately, it was because this illusion was caused by the collision between the True Dragon Dao and the Ruyi Dao…
“Qing Li” was stabbed to death on her throne; with her remaining power of Dao, she detained Emperor Qi and sealed the Great Yue Well.
The two opposing powers of Dao were so strong that they spilled over.
They then transformed into Black Evil!
At the outer rim of the Great Yue Kingdom’s Secret Realm, incessant battles ensued.
This was also why Emperor Qi had not anticipated Qing Li’s reincarnation as a mortal.
The battle of Dao continued; war never ceased.
One wouldn’t have guessed—
The “protagonist” of this war would depart the battlefield early in such a manner, seeking the true self in the Illusion and achieving ascension.
“The human heart harbors evil, thus conflicts never cease.”
Xie Xuanyi shook his head and softly said, “If Emperor Qi were not moved by greed, how could there be such bitter war?”
Emperor Qi ascended and shattered; the nation was destroyed, and nine million citizens transformed into resentful spirits.
This battle had no victors.
“Without greed, why would anyone pursue cultivation?”
Lu Yuzhen softly laughed, posing a thought-provoking question.
Together, he and Xie Xuanyi walked through the flying sand, leaving a clear area of about ten feet wherever they went.
Countless Iron Cavalry charged at them, and Lord Lu, simply with his hands behind his back, had silvery white light shine around him, forming a smooth protective shield.
The Iron Cavalry that collided with the shield were instantly turned into flying flesh and blood.
From this, it was evident—
Lu Yuzhen did not side with Emperor Qi.
However, he seemingly didn’t take the side of Qing Li either.
He was just like a tourist, walking through the crevices of history, observing the flying sand, the charging Iron Cavalry, and the separations of life and death.
The moment the sand wiped them away, their fates were sealed.
These Iron Cavalry, loyal to Emperor Qi even unto death, despite knowing their doomed fate, launched assaults towards the True Dragon time and again until decapitated, turning to ashes.
These Iron Cavalry were transformed by the Ruyi Dao.
Although Emperor Qi fought with Qing Li, he was still able to sense the “anomaly” within the battlefield.
The Iron Cavalry were blocked by an outsider; his instinct was to use the Tao Rules to gather more Iron Cavalry and lead a charge, but he quickly realized…
these Iron Cavalry could not shake this “outsider.”
This outsider had no intention of intervening in the war.
Thus, Emperor Qi ceased to gather the Tao Rules.
The battle cries surrounding Xie Xuanyi gradually diminished a lot.
When Xie Xuanyi first entered the Great Yue Kingdom’s Secret Realm, due to an unhealed state, he only traversed a little distance in this Illusion before “awakening.”
With “protection” from Lord Lu—
The two walked a great distance, quite far, reaching near the core area of the battlefield, which was once the “limit” that Prince Tang had reached.
Xie Xuanyi stretched out his hand, touching an invisible barrier.
On the other side of the void, sand swept through.
Here, however, was a solid wall, rising across.
Xie Xuanyi got straight to the point and asked, “Lord Lu, there are no outsiders here.
You might as well speak plainly.
What exactly do you want to do by bringing me here?”
