Chapter 350: Chapter 56: Breakthrough, Qi-Blood Like the Sea!
North of Luoshui Lake.
The cold wind howled, and large snowflakes fluttered like goose feathers.
On the lakeshore amid the vast expanse of snow, two figures had already appeared.
One of the figures had an aged face with visible wrinkles and grayish-white hair.
He was dressed in a yellowish-brown Taoist robe, which had a Qiankun Eight Diagram embroidered on its back.
The cold wind whipped up the man’s yellowish-brown robe, causing it to flutter madly behind him.
Had there been a well-learned person present, they would recognize that this elderly man, who appeared to be over fifty, was acknowledged as the second most powerful person in the world today.
He was the Sect Hierarch of Yellow Heaven Sect, the sect with the most followers in the contemporary era.
Beside him stood another figure, a youthful man with a trace of naivety on his face, carrying a sword on his back, which also bore a Qiankun Eight Diagram on its hilt.
“Master, why have you brought here?” the youth asked puzzledly.
The aged man slowly replied, “Disciple, what do you think of the current state of Great Xia?”
The youth thought for a mont before slowly responding, “The poor have nowhere to stand, while the rich own endless stretches of land. Mansions reek of at and wine while bones of the frozen dead litter the roads!”
“Class stratification is extrely severe, and a common-born man breaking through these strata is one in ten thousand!”
The aged man said, “Disciple, what if there were a regi change and we created a new heaven and earth, would that solve the situation?”
“Master, are you suggesting!!!” Upon hearing the old man’s words, the youth’s eyes widened in shock.
“Speak your thoughts!” the aged man said indifferently.
After pondering for a long ti, the youth said, “A regi change might temporarily alleviate the situation when a new order is set, but no matter what laws and systems are established, or how we perfect the legal loopholes, it won’t be a hundred years before things gradually revert to the current state of Great Xia.”
Hearing this, the elder showed a look of approval.
“Well-observed, Disciple! This is the abyss of history; a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand years hence, no matter how many dynasties change, regardless of who rules, it will inevitably reach this point.”
“That is undoubtedly true!”
“However, each regi change also heralds a century of prosperity and wealth.”
The youth hesitated, “So, Master, are you suggesting?”
The aged man nodded, “It’s ti to make a decisive move! Let’s start the end for Great Xia.”
Upon saying this, the old man’s previously calm pupils suddenly blazed like the midsumr sun.
“Master, it’s impossible for us to succeed!”
“I know!” the aged man nodded, “It is indeed impossible for us alone.”
“But!!!”
“My taking this step will be enough to plunge the already precarious Great Xia into the abyss.”
“Perfectly, it will also give the opportunity to send so corrupt, filthy sects and noble families, harboring the evils of this world, into the cycle of reincarnation!”
Seeing the passionate and resolute look in the old man’s eyes, the youth was visibly shaken.
“What is your plan now, Master?”
“For any grand endeavor, we need the right opportunity, which hasn’t co yet. However, I can create that opportunity!”
Having said this,
the elder pulled a white small snake from his sleeve, which bore a slight bulge on its forehead, making it look extraordinarily mystical.
“Master, what is this?” the youth asked, puzzled.
The elder tossed the snake from his sleeve towards the icing surface of Luoshui Lake.
As soon as the white snake left his palm, it grew rapidly in the wind.
Instantly transforming into a snake ten feet long.
Plunge—
As it splashed into the water, the white snake forcefully fell into the icy waters of the lake.
Watching the disappearing figure of the white snake, the elder then spoke lightly, “This snake possesses the bloodline of the Ancient White Chi, inherently fierce! I have fed it a special pill that greatly stimulates its bloodline and accelerates its growth.”
“Once it has grown a bit, with the Ice Chi’s fierce nature, it will surely stir up infamy in Luoshui.”
“When the ti is ripe, he will rise in revolt and take the Human Emperor Sword from its belly.”
As the words fell from the aged man,
The youth’s eyes widened.
“Human Emperor Sword!!”
“The sword is actually inside this white snake!!”
The elder spoke lightly, “Not now, but I have the Human Emperor Sword! Slaying the nefarious chi and wielding the Human Emperor Sword, with my prestige, it will be enough to stir up a vast rebellion.”
“With the Human Emperor Sword in hand, I uphold the rightful lineage of the Human Clan, commanded by the heavens!”
“After my death, the ergence of the Human Emperor Sword will also be enough to throw the whole world into utter chaos.”
“Unless…” saying this, the elder looked faintly toward the direction of the capital of Great Xia: “Unless he can defy the heavens, break the shackles, and extend his lifespan!”
anwhile,
Under the water surface,
The white snake stirred from the chill of the lake water,
Looking around after it awakened,
Hungry hungry hungry—
Its eyes suddenly turned a deep red before its tail flicked, shooting through the water like an arrow.
The form of the White Chi moved, stirring the water.
The Ancient White Chi, naturally mastering the power of controlling water.
…
Elsewhere,
Also in Luoshui.
Jiang Ning was completely unaware of the events transpiring on the other side of Luoshui.
On the desolate island, he continually consud Hundred Spirit Blood to increase his own Qi Blood Power.
Simultaneously, he was strengthening the Water and Fire True Strength skill, increasing its Experience Value.
In the blink of an eye,
A day had passed.
Under the moonlight, he made his way towards his ho.
[Source Energy]: 241.31
[Skill]:
Water and Fire True Strength (small success 374/500)
Catching a glimpse of his status panel, Jiang Ning then closed it.
