Chapter 591: Scholar Feng Jian
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
The entire universe seemed to freeze in time!
It had to be said that the old man’s power was too fearsome!
Everything quietened down, even this place was sealed.
There was no joy in his eyes.
There was a bellowing energy at his forehead.
Thunderous rage!
The heavenly Cauldron had entered that black hole.
The unimaginably powerful Qi that was within the Cauldron was not something that the black hole could hold.
It was like trying to fit all the water in the sea into vase.
It was simply impossible.
But someone went ahead to do that.
A massive explosion occurred.
In that moment, the old man appeared and sealed everything here.
The explosion was sealed as well.
Chu Yu was sealed in as well.
His face was calm, there seemed to be some smile of mockery on his face as well.
I’m part of your soul?
Cut the crap, I’m not having any of that!
I don’t want to be either!
This was all planned wasn’t it!
Do you regard all life forms as pieces on a chess board?
No matter how powerful a being is, is he but a chess piece?
Alright!
Since I don’t have the power to control my fate, I will smear the table that bears the chess board!
I’ll flip the table and destroy the board!
The old man’s eyes were furious.
“Do you think you can escape like that?” he finally spoke.
His voice was low and ancient.
“I’ve already sent someone to warn you.”.
“I never thought you would be so foolish to do something so stupid.”.
“You think I don’t have the power to stop this? You’re naïve!”.
The old man waved his hands as an odd divine sense echoed throughout.
The voice had an indescribable Daoist presence.
The entire space began to reverse, time was flowing backwards!
The old man was going back in time!
This was… crazy.
This was unheard of, but the old man was doing precisely that!
He was reversing the course of time!
What kind of power was this?
Why would a man with this sort of power care about a great Saint like Chu Yu?
Chu Yu’s blood boiled, he had a fiery rage within him, but his body and mouth were bound by the seal.
Even his divine sense was massively slowed down.
“Did you think that you could stop using the three realms technique just because you didn’t want to use it?”.
The old man looked at Chu Yu and said, “Do you think you can do whatever you want? Do you think everything will go according to your plan?”.
He pointed his finger at Chu Yu as a force rushed into his body.
The three realms technique began working itself.
A stunning energy erupted from Chu Yu’s body.
“Heh… this is the familiar energy,” the old man smiled.
“Scholar Feng Jian, you might have the greatest power in the world, but what can you do now? I bet you never thought that the person that you were after to succeed your three realms technique was a chess piece that I laid down did you?”.
The old man smiled.
The entire space was whirling.
Even though it was slow, the change was clear.
Nothing could stop it!
The old man stood there as he said, “I did this for the betterment of the world as well. Why do I have to be the villain? Who gets to decide?”.
He looked at Chu Yu, “I’m going to refine you into a divine trooper! This is an honourable and glorious thing! One day, you will understand that the sacrifices I made were of the highest nobility.”.
“I have nothing much to explain to you, you are a par of my soul, you are me! You’re like a strand of hair on my head, you can’t decide your own fate,” the old man said.
A cunning look appeared on his face as he said, “I didn’t want to do this at first. After all, we’re birds of a feather. Plus, you even developed your own will.”.
“But you forced me into this, I have to do this!”.
The old man spat out a mouthful of blood there.
Daoist runes and symbols radiated in that blood, it seemed to be deep and strong Daoist wounds.
The looks of it were extremely unsettling.
“I’ve given up too much for this world, but who can understand me?” the old man said to himself again.
“The Emperor back then didn’t, the interesting thing was that he made the exact same choice as you!”.
“To get rid of the Cauldron, to scorn the heavens.”.
“How childish!”.
“He succeeded that time as he passed on with satisfaction. He brought the two girls he loved and plunged to his death.”.
“And now, you’re actually doing the same thing as him! It’s just that you’re not vicious enough to bring your two girls with you.”.
“There is some difference between the two of you after all.”.
“This is definitely an intriguing mystery. You’re all fragments of my being, but who would have thought that you would developed complex personalities after manifesting in your own forms?”.
“If I have the time, I will definitely sit down to do some research.”.
“But now, just relax… become one of my divine troopers!”.
“Using the three realms technique as a foundation, the resulting divine trooper would be brilliant!”.
The old man wasn’t even filtering his words to Chu Yu, he was letting him know this intentionally.
He began refining Chu Yu.
“This process will be very painful, but don’t worry, once it’s finished, when you drink the blood of the enemy you kill, you will thank me for everything you’ve been through!”.
A flame was ignited.
It coated itself around Chu Yu and began refining him!
The threat from the fire showed that it was just a normal flame.
It had virtually no effect on a Great Saint like Chu Yu.
“Are you thinking: What? That’s it?”.
The old man laughed, “This is called slow refining, it should be easy to understand now that I’ve put it this way right?”.
“You’re very smart, just as smart as the Emperor back then.”.
“You could actually discover the part of me hidden within the Cauldron and guess that the Crane Saint was an identity made up by me. That’s not easy at all.”.
The old man said casually.
The flame began rising in temperature.
Runes were jumping about in the flame.
“Careful now, the fire power is coming.”.
“I won’t tell you the name of this fire. Anyway, its purpose is to vanquish all that is within your body!”.
Even though he could not speak nor move, Chu Yu’s facial muscles were all tensed up and in shambles.
The pain was obvious, it exceeded any form of imagination.
It was like the legendary lotus flame that burned the sins of sinners who went to hell.
As time passed, Chu Yu could clearly feel the grey, black and green things that were being forced out of his body.
The terrifying thing was that these things seemed to have emotions of their own. They were filled with anger and disdain.
No!
Chu Yu’s heart was enraged.
These were his emotions and values being torn out of him.
A deep fear arose from the depths of his heart.
But soon, the feeling rapidly decreased.
True followers of the Buddha had no agony nor joy.
Perhaps this was that feeling?
But why was there some sort of tranquillity to it?
Soon, that feeling vanished as well.
Chu Yu’s vision began to become clouded.
The old man watched on in glee.
Everything here was more than half restored!
The original black hole and that terrifying energy was almost gone!
It shouldn’t be long now. Everything here would soon return to its original sate.
Chu Yu was in the process of being refined.
His heart began to become more and more peaceful.
There was just one last thought- if life is such, what purpose is there in living?
At that moment, a figure walked towards him from afar.
That man seemed to be taking a leisurely stroll, he even had a kind smile on his face.
He wore a pure white robe, it seemed a little old, as if it had been washed many times. But it seemed fitting and very comfortable.
He was carrying a scholar’s bag that seemed really old as well, but it was still intact.
There was a towel around his neck and a sword on his waist.
His face was shrouded in a blinding light.
Why was he here? This was extremely strange!
This space was in the process of time reversal, the old man had sealed this place off!
Even great Saints such as Chu Yu could not move.
This scholar was just walking there, carefree as ever.
He raised his hand and smiled as he waved at the old man.
“My fellow Daoist, it’s been a while.”.
