Wandering Gods of Day and Night
Chapter 1403 - 523: Life Exchange Technique
Yun Ziliang’s spirit was already on the verge of collapse; how could he have the energy to care about how despicable Yun Ziyi was?
Or rather, to him, his enemy was already determined—it was that unknown Heavenly God-level being.
However, even though the enemy was found, that was a Heavenly God, already the pinnacle existence in Jing Country.
How could he possibly avenge this blood feud?
Seeking revenge was hopeless, and the hatred was overwhelming. Yun Ziliang was both angry and filled with self-blame, blaming himself for being so mediocre, unable to deal with that Heavenly God,
blaming himself for why he had taken that elixir back then, being used by others to personally kill his own disciples of Hidden Dragon Mountain.
"How can I face the disciples of Dragon Seeking Mountain?
If I were to die and go to the netherworld, how could I face the ancestors of Dragon Seeking Mountain,
how can I, Yun Ziliang, claim to be a disciple of Dragon Seeking?"
He knelt on the ground, pounding the earth repeatedly. The rocky ground was pounded into cracks, sharp little stalagmites piercing his hands till they bled profusely...
"Grand Master, don’t think like that, try to compose yourself." Zhao Wuya hugged Yun Ziliang, trying to pull him up.
Li Changxun, too, was affected by the sadness, secretly wiping away tears, having put himself in Yun Ziliang’s shoes, he naturally understood Yun Ziliang’s inner anguish and sorrow.
Zhou Xuan looked at Yun Ziliang’s deranged and pitiful state, feeling heartache. He knew that in these three hundred years, Yun Ziliang had never forgotten the blood feud of Hidden Dragon Mountain,
never mind that Lao Yun usually laughed and joked around, frequenting gambling dens and making jokes with everyone he met, deep inside, he was filled with gloom and pain.
Night after night, Zhou Xuan would always hear the faint sound of sighing from the Zhou Family’s Jingyi Shop in the dead of night.
He squatted down and looked at Yun Ziliang, his gaze as steadfast as a rock, calmly stating, "Lao Yun, it’s not the weapon that’s wrong, it’s the wielder who’s at fault. The one who killed the disciples of Hidden Dragon Mountain is that hidden Heavenly God-level being."
"Sigh... sigh... sigh." Yun Ziliang continued to wail in pain.
"The feud of Hidden Dragon Mountain cannot be left unsettled; revenge must be sought." Zhou Xuan said.
"He is Heavenly God-level, none of us can fight him."
"Heavenly God-level or not, he will be slaughtered like a pig or a dog."
Zhou Xuan coldly spat out a sentence, which was like a powerful stimulant, injected into Yun Ziliang’s divine soul.
In almost an instant, his emotions cleared up significantly.
Although he still appeared disheveled, with sweat and tears mingling on his face, causing strands of hair to cling together.
Yun Ziliang believed in Zhou Xuan, and so did Li Changxun, Zhao Wuya, and Alchemist Bai Lu, even though their enemy was the top Heavenly God-level existence in Jing Country.
"Ah, Mr. Zhou, I am impressed with your courage and wisdom, but you are up against a Heavenly God-level being; he is a giant standing in this world,
and you all, are just a bunch of ants. Even if you are stronger and smarter than average ants, so what?
You are ultimately just ants; how can you contend with a towering giant!"
Qingping Daoist did not believe that Zhou Xuan could slay a Heavenly God-level being.
Heavenly God-level, that’s a true god high above,
how can human strength compare?
Of course, this Daoist did not speak with sarcasm; his subsequent words were somewhat persuasive.
He sighed and said, "Mr. Zhou, Yun Heavenly Master, I have been tormented by Yun Ziyi for three hundred years, unable to live or die, during which I have come to understand life and death.
What is life? It’s just that a good death is worse than a poor life,
What is death? It’s just that when a person dies, the light is out,
It happened three hundred years ago; it’s all in the past. Now, you’re living against the odds, living until you are old, what is dignity, hatred, face, all of it means nothing, just live well, why bother thinking about it."
Zhou Xuan also understood that Qingping Daoist meant well without any mockery, but he was still angry.
He was angry in order to instill Yun Ziliang with the strength to stand up again.
Then Zhou Xuan suddenly waved his hand, chastising: "Nonsense, where there is experience, there is fire, where there is no fire, there is no experience. Hall disciples, if you do not nurture a fire of aggression in your heart, where does cultivation come from?"
"Whether it’s Heavenly God-level or Heavenly Venerate, if he steps on us as ants, then we ants will unite, drink his blood, eat his flesh, and gnaw him into a pile of white bones."
"This revenge cannot be left unsettled, what’s more... Heavenly God-level, it’s not like we haven’t killed one before."
Qingping Daoist detected the fire of aggression in Zhou Xuan’s heart and immediately asked, "You have actually killed a Heavenly God?"
He was imprisoned by Mr. Yan for so long and was not aware of outside affairs, Zhou Xuan’s words shocked him.
Zhao Wuya said from the side, "The Dream Realm Heavenly God, he was one of the nine oldest Heavenly Gods from Ancient Times; but what of that, didn’t Brother Xuan slay him with the ’Seventeen Stances’ technique."
"Seventeen Stances? Are you referring to the sword technique from Wuwen Mountain? That set of sword technique has only sixteen stances."
"Mr. Zhou developed something better—the ’All Under Heaven Return to Origin Stance,’" Alchemist Bai Lu also said from the side.
Qingping Daoist went silent,
After pondering for a long time, he finally said, "I did not expect that today’s world would be so interesting that a Heavenly God-level, feared by the Heavenly Dome and revered by the human world, would be slain by a mortal being,
since it’s so interesting, I’ll add some fuel to the fire to make the human world even more lively."
He immediately raised his head, lifted his right hand high, and said, "The first flame, Mr. Zhou, I can tell you where my ’Alchemy Scripture’ is hidden, that scripture can allow you to refine the finest elixirs in the world, ascend seamlessly in the Heavenly Dome, and enter Bai Yujing."
