Falcon Wind Gorge is long and straight, as if a god had carved it with a blade.
Beyond this gorge, it’s like a river flowing into the sea, suddenly opening up. After this, it’s flat terrain for a thousand miles, across this plain, it’s densely packed towering mountains.
This place is already near the territory of "Great Ape Mountain."
Unlike Heavenly Phoenix Palace.
The entire Holy Land of Great Ape Mountain is situated among the mountains, and this lineage places great emphasis on the sensing between cultivators and the earth.
Corresponding to the [Sky Vault Inheritance]... the secret of Great Ape Mountain is called the [Earth Abyss Inheritance].
At the mont, on a remote mountain ridge, within a barren deep forest.
The campfire flickers.
Xie Xuanyi stands before the campfire, hands behind his back, controlling the sword with divine thought.
"Shhh shhh shhh."
The fire bakes the [Bronze Sword] snatched from Master Ni Yu.
This ancient sword is quite old. Without divine thought infusion, the sword body would rust densely, but now under the scorching of the "Yin Erosion Fire," the rust is slowly removed, revealing a smooth and bright sword body.
On this ancient sword, an obscure line of ancient text is inscribed.
This is not the current script.
But a secret text prior to the millennium Great Tribulation.
Xie Xuanyi silently bakes the bronze ancient sword, and after a while, the ancient sword fully regains its luster, he raises it before him.
The sword surface is like water, reflecting the back of the handso black-clad great demon sitting by the campfire.
"Such compassion, it’s not quite like your style."
Xie Xuanyi suddenly speaks.
"..."
Cui Zhen finds this remark sowhat familiar.
He seems to have heard it.
Oh yes.
He’s rembered.
It’s not that he heard it before.
This sentence was spoken by him personally an hour ago, just that at that ti the target of "sarcasm" was not himself, but Xie Xuanyi.
"Most poor souls in this world have their detestable sides."
The handso great demon lowers his head, his hair drifting with the wind, covering his eyes.
He smiles lightly, self-mockingly said: "These years, I’ve thought more than once, why have I fallen to such, whether it’s a bad fate or self-infliction. Now I understand, even if I returned a hundred years ago, I might not change my destiny."
An hour ago.
Just as Xie Xuanyi was about to "execute" Wu Jiu.
Cui Zhen couldn’t hold back, sent out his soul sound, chose to stop.
Xie Xuanyi was quite surprised at Cui Zhen’s choice.
To him, whether Wu Jiu lives or dies... doesn’t matter much.
Even given this Golden Crow Clan prodigy another 60 years, he wouldn’t catch up to Xie Xuanyi.
The only thing Xie Xuanyi fears is the pursuit of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace Master, concentrating the Sword Qi condensed in the Life and Death Dao Domain is already enough to break Wu Jiu’s divine skills.
After thinking for a mont.
Xie Xuanyi "unintentionally" decided to agree.
Thus.
After breaking Wu Jiu’s Dao Domain, the two headed north and arrived here.
Indeed, destiny is a mysterious thing.
Cui Zhen never thought.
Years later, he would be hunted by Heavenly Phoenix Palace.
And the one saving his life... was Zhao Chunyang’s disciple.
The campfire crackles.
"In the future, these two worlds will surely rise to war again."
Cui Zhen said hoarsely: "Why did you agree to grant a favor, leaving that Golden Crow’s life..."
Wu Jiu is the future leader of Heavenly Phoenix Palace.
Indeed.
His strength cannot compare to Xie Xuanyi.
But...
He is at least a Yang God.
"Wu Jiu, not important."
Xie Xuanyi inspects the bronze ancient sword, lightly says.
"Not important?"
Cui Zhen hesitated, slowly turning his head to gaze at the young figure.
It’s true.
The current Xie Xuanyi truly has the confidence to say such words. He is the only Harmonization Cultivator in a thousand years, looking at the entire Demon Country, the only ones who could make Xie Xuanyi avoid their edge are those above Yang God Seventh Layer Heaven.
Compared to Zhao Chunyang of the past who went north, now, even though Xie Xuanyi is younger, he is more feared by Demon Country.
Therefore, in Cui Zhen’s view.
Xie Xuanyi’s aning is not hard to understand.
Wu Jiu... isn’t soone worthy of notice at all.
But actually, Cui Zhen’s understanding was a bit off.
Ever since Harmonization.
A mysterious and profound sensing has arisen in Xie Xuanyi’s Heart Lake. In fact, this mysterious sensing has always existed, early when his realm was low, he could finish sensing sothing in an incredible way... earlier, Xie Xuanyi just considered this as the "Heart Lake Sensing" of a Sword Cultivator.
But the further it went, the more sothing felt wrong.
Xie Xuanyi found, his "Heart Lake Sensing" seems different from others.
After Harmonization.
This mysterious sensing seed more like a revelation, a reminder.
Working with Cui Zhen.
Staying in Demon Country.
Many decisions Xie Xuanyi made in recent days... are actually related to this "Heart Lake Sensing."
Leaving Wu Jiu’s life.
Also related to this "Heart Lake Sensing."
"This ti, I still owe you a favor."
Cui Zhen raises his head, gazes through the rustling leaves to the sky vault outside the forest.
He certainly knows.
What he did this ti, can wholly be sumd up with the word foolish. Wu Jiu is a loyal person willing to die for Heavenly Phoenix Palace, even if saved, during the next eting, this guy would still choose [Together Burn]...
He long vowed to seek revenge on those who betrayed him.
He wants to reclaim what belongs to him.
Since so, why not be ruthless, kill all enemies standing before him?
"So things, knowing is easy, doing is hard."
From the campfire side, Xie Xuanyi’s voice sounded again.
"Since the battle in Erosion Sun Swamp, I knew... you’re not like what they say outside."
"Not the sa?"
"Outside says you’re decisive, ruthless, and tyrannical. But the truth is quite the opposite."
"..."
"If you were truly decisive, ruthless, and tyrannical, you wouldn’t have died under siege years ago. If you were truly cold-blooded and violent, Ye Ling wouldn’t have used the [Longevity Lamp] to extend your life, waiting a whole 60 years."
Xie Xuanyi holds the bronze sword.
His focus is on the ancient text on the sword.
In his view, the conversation with Cui Zhen now is just idle chat.
Speaker unintended, listener considerate.
The handso great demon fell into prolonged silence.
"About siege, I have experience."
Xie Xuanyi says calmly: "Either it’s an absolute coincidence, or a long-planned sche... All Great Practitioners of the Human Race arrive together, how such coincidences happen in this world? Just like the siege of my master back then, it can only be a sche. Clearly, more than one person sold you out. Outside also says, you’re a hero full of wisdom and ans. But now it seems, you’re just a pitiful man betrayed by life-and-death brothers and unaware."
Success like this, failure like this.
If it weren’t for Cui Zhen’s heroic style, the so-called Nine Venerable wouldn’t exist later.
"However."
Xie Xuanyi changes the subject: "Everything has cause and effect... the Nine Venerable betrayed you, but Ye Ling did not."
The greatest good fruit Cui Zhen earned from his good deeds.
Was that lamp extending life by a hundred years.
...

(There is another update in the afternoon.)
