Eternal vanity

Chapter 25

Above the clouds.

"Sister!

How … how could you … "The pretty girl stared at the white-clothed fairy in shock. She didn't know what to say.

The white-clothed fairy covered her face with her hands. She was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to raise her head. She mumbled, "I … I don't know why … whenever I get close to him, I feel like I've seen him before … Oh …"

"Sigh, really …" The pretty girl sighed. She wanted to say something, but when the words reached her mouth, she hesitated.

Some things were already predestined. No matter how hard she tried to stop it, it would only backfire.

Since that was the case, she might as well let it go and let nature take its course.

Everything was clear. Everything would be arranged by fate.

The white-clothed fairy looked down at Bai Chen, who was far away in the cold. An imperceptible blush flashed across her fair cheeks.

His heart was pounding non-stop.

…

At the bottom of the cliff.

Bai Chen sat cross-legged on the ground, and it was undoubtedly the best opportunity to cultivate in such a desolate and cold place.

He had the right time and the right place. Even the heavens were on his side!

In an instant, abundant source power flowed through his veins like dragons and snakes. As he breathed, the turbid Qi in his body was expelled. His entire body felt refreshed.

Speaking of which, it was quite strange. The bottom of the cliff was extremely cold and damp, and ordinary people would not be able to endure for more than two hours. However, Bai Chen felt that it was surprisingly compatible with the environment, and he was even able to convert the cold Qi into his own Origin Qi.

"Whoosh —" After finishing his last breath, Bai Chen opened his eyes slightly. A dim light flashed across his eyes.

Yun Qingxiao joked casually, "Your breathing technique is pretty good. It's almost as good as an advanced technique.

Tsk tsk … "

Bai Chen's eyes darkened. He said slowly, "My father taught me this breathing technique. According to the rules of the clan, every Hall Master has to cultivate this technique."

Yun Qingxiao looked at him and awkwardly replied, "Oh."

No matter how dignified the reason was, it was he who'd caused Bai Chen to fall from a lofty and unreachable pedestal to become Luo Tuozi who carried a blood feud with him now. Moreover, Luo Tuozi was even forced to share the same body as him, so no matter who it was, that person would probably be unable to figure it out in a short period of time.

Boom!

Just as Bai Chen was about to get up, a white beam of light shot up from the cliff into the sky. It looked as if it was going to pierce through the vast sea and reach the clouds.

In an instant, more than ten dazzling rays of light shot out from the sky and landed on different parts of the Secret Realm.

One of the most inconspicuous lights floated in the air, as if it was searching for something. After circling for a while, it suddenly paused, and then flew straight toward the cliff where Bai Chen was at lightning speed.

"One, two, two … nine … ten!

This is impossible! There are only nine precious treasures in history. Is this the tenth one?! "Yun Qingxiao looked up at the boundless sky and was extremely astounded.

This had far exceeded the scope of his expectations, and there was definitely a reason behind it.

Looks like I've underestimated the strength of this Secret Realm.

Bai Chen looked at the weak light that flew towards him and asked with a frown. "What's wrong?"

Yun Qingxiao didn't answer Bai Chen's question, and he just stared fixedly at the light that floated indeterminately in the sky without saying a word.

The Heaven Dao has arrived?

Right when Yun Qingxiao was stunned, the tenth treasure that caused him to turn pale with fright was slowly descending towards the gorge that Bai Chen was at. Its speed was neither fast nor slow, and it seemed as if it'd found its target first. That was why it was so relaxed and casual.

In an instant, nine dazzling streamers of light disappeared in mid-air and landed in unknown places in the Secret Realm, quietly waiting for the arrival of the fated person.

Only the tenth light, which was originally dozens of feet above the cliff, fell faster and faster, and crashed into Bai Chen, who was still in a daze.

"Whoosh —"

The light rushed into Bai Chen's sea of consciousness without hesitation, stirring up the sea of consciousness, and a strong suction force pulled Bai Chen's consciousness back into the sea of consciousness.

Everything happened in a short moment, but it was enough to catch Bai Chen, who was originally unprepared, off guard by this sudden light.

Looking at the lightning-like momentum of this light, the strength behind it was at least at the fifth stage of the Divine Emperor Realm.

Bai Chen was completely unprepared, and his consciousness flew toward this light in an instant.

Γένω?

The beam of light that arrived was restricted, swimming in the sea of consciousness that was surging endlessly.

At this time, Yun Qingxiao, who was in the middle of the light vortex, was surrounded by dazzling light. They were like layers of protective Qi spheres tightly surrounding Yun Qingxiao. Above the flowing light, there were nine small light spheres rotating regularly with the protective Qi spheres.

Yun Qingxiao's spiritual body was motionless, his expression cold, his eyes closed, and there were faint moon-white streamers of light around him from time to time.

Bai Chen was really shocked by the strange scene in front of him. At this moment, he seemed to be in an illusory space of streamers of light, and his eyes were full of moon-white streamers of light that were constantly rotating, like a trickling stream. Yun Qingxiao, who was completely immersed in it, did not have the slightest vitality, like a dead person.

"Yun Qingxiao?"

Bai Chen called out tentatively to Yun Qingxiao, who was like a duck in an incomparably quiet lake.

He still did not know what had happened, and he did not know that Yun Qingxiao's spiritual body was affected by the seemingly harmless moonlight in front of him.

Was the infiltration of the streamers of light good or bad?

The only thing that was clear in his eyes was that his shout immediately caused the Qi sphere to rotate several times faster than before. Moreover, it was whining non-stop, as if it was expressing strong dissatisfaction and protest at his disturbance.

As for Yun Qingxiao, he did not move at all.

Bai Chen grinned, his eyelids slightly narrowed, and he cast an extremely unhappy look at the Qi sphere.

What the hell are you shouting for!

If Yun Qingxiao was not in your hands, I would have already beaten you up. At any rate, I am now a seventh-stage True God. If you have the ability, put down Yun Qingxiao and fight me one-on-one!

Don't pick on the weak!

If Yun Qingxiao heard this, he would definitely despise Bai Chen.

Soft persimmon?

Is Yun Qingxiao, the most intelligent person in the world, a person who can predict the future, a weak persimmon?

Suddenly, the other nine small balls of light floating above the Origin Energy Sphere shone brightly, as if they were telepathically connected to him. Accompanied by a biting cold intent, the nine small balls of light formed a net of light and Qi that enveloped him.

Bai Chen was dumbfounded. "That … actually … actually, I was joking with you."

The nine light spheres completely ignored him and continued to rotate around him in a regular pattern. After the dazzling brilliance from the spheres circled around him nine times, it paused and suddenly trembled in the air for a moment, and then there was another whining sound.

In an instant, the nine light spheres seemed to peel off their dazzling shells and reveal their true colors, turning the space of the sea of consciousness into a colorful glazed world.

Crystal clear white, blood-stained red peach blossoms, soul-stirring purple, shocking green … A total of nine colors intertwined together.

With a gulp, Bai Chen, who was dumbfounded, could not help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

This uninvited guest was actually able to turn his sea of consciousness into a colorful and dreamy world. At the same time, Bai Chen could feel his sea of consciousness expanding bit by bit, and he felt a sense of discomfort as if he was bloated.

What on earth does this thing want?

His actions were truly inconceivable.

Bai Chen stared unblinkingly at the nine balls of light floating in front of his eyes. Each of the balls of light was surrounded by a hazy mist of different colors. The red ones were like fire, while the purple ones were like …??????

Lan Ming Ye was mysterious and elegant …

Floating in the center of each ball of light was an ancient and dazzling amber crystal. The smooth and flawless surface of the amber was engraved with bold and vigorous Xiaozhuan characters.

The characters in each small light sphere were completely different from the others. After careful identification by Bai Chen, these nine characters were: "Wan", "Gu", "Fu", "Hua", "Zhu", "Wu", "Ji", "Da", and "Dao".

Eternal Magnificence Cast Wu Da Dao!

Bai Chen's heart suddenly froze. The top of his head seemed to have been struck by a bolt of lightning, penetrating his limbs and bones.

The nine light spheres shone brightly, as if they were going to pierce thousands of holes in his sea of consciousness.

Bai Chen's eyes were like stars staring straight ahead. At the end of the illusory world, there seemed to be the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth that he dreamed of, as well as everything that would happen on his future journey.

After a long time, Bai Chen, who gradually came to his senses, frowned and subconsciously looked around.

The nine dazzling and colorful small light spheres just now had returned to their original state. Everything was like a dream.

Bai Chen's gaze was leisurely and confused as he looked at the silent space of his sea of consciousness after the ostentation. The moon-white flowing light was still rotating on its own, like a cultivator with abundant Origin Power, who would never stop on the road to the extreme.

The nine small light spheres that had just set off a colorful and gorgeous world had also turned into an extremely quiet lake. Not even a ripple appeared anymore.

The tired Bai Chen looked up and glanced at Yun Qingxiao, who was still motionless within the protective sphere. Yun Qingxiao's expression was the same as usual. Other than the fact that he did not have any reaction, everything else was fine.

As long as he was fine, his heart, which had been nervous for a long time, could be at ease.

With a soft sigh, his consciousness suddenly returned to his body.

He and he were both carrying too much on their backs.

Bai Chen slowly opened his eyes. The cold death aura around the cliff stream had become even stronger after the white light pillar had left just now, almost covering the vast sky.

The culprit who had caused the monstrous waves in his sea of consciousness had appeared.

The light covering the outer layer gradually receded, revealing the original appearance of the treasure.

Nine simple and mysterious copper coins floated silently by White Dust's side, and they moved rhythmically without any pattern, forming extremely profound markings in the air.

Bai Chen curiously reached out and pinched one of the coins, gently stroking its textured surface. The copper coin seemed to have a mind of its own. It shook a few times unwillingly, but in the end, it obediently allowed Bai Chen to play with it.

It was like a child's tangled feelings of longing and fear for a stranger's candy.

There were only two fiery-red stones embedded at the edge of the round square hole. They were inconceivably releasing a trace of bright light in their eyes.

With just this insignificant ray of light, Bai Chen thought that even the brightest gem could not compare to these two simple and dim stones.

The copper coin was engraved with fine flame patterns. Gentle and resolute, these two words that were not related to each other, were just right to describe it.
