Slowly, after the shocking waves of Spiritual Qi had stabilized into a pattern, the crowd finally left.
Even Big Bear, whose strength had reached the Superior Supreme level, was frightened until his legs felt soft… this was not to say that Big Bear was a timid person. But this kind of natural, kingly aura was simply too scary. This aura was the kind that radiated from a monarch among beasts, causing him to want to bow down to it. Forcefully controlling himself, Big Bear stood up shakily. But the instant he stood up, he felt an uncontrollable urge in his pants. Looking around warily, he hurriedly ran off sneakily. Then, after choosing a hidden spot, he squatted down beside a tall tree and hurriedly unfastened his trousers. In an instant, a loud slopping sound rang out, and an unbelievable stench rose into the air. After a long time, Big Bear stood up and put on his trousers again. This time, his expression was much better.
Having relieved himself, even his mood had improved greatly. He even patted the tree’s trunk as he tied his waistband, turning his hairy head to look at the tall tree. “Ah, what a straight tree! You’re so tall and straight, could it be that you’ve been made to stand still as a punishment? This big bear here has given you a lot of fertilizer today, so I guess this is also a kind of fortuitous encounter for you…”
As he laughed and patted his butt, a few other shuffling sounds could be heard from behind him. A few other Beast Kings also walked out while adjusting their trousers. From the looks of it, there were no exceptions; it seemed that everyone had been scared silly by the aura. Their faces were all pale and colorless.
However, these Beast Kings were still better than before. In the past, when they came across a powerful expert breaking through, they would crap themselves on the spot. When the six great Beast Kings broke through back then, the entire Tian Fa Forest was covered in “land mines”. At least, these Xuan Beasts now knew how to take care of their own face. They also learnt to cherish their clothes, even going as far as to find a discreet spot to settle their weakened stomachs. They’ve truly improved…
Mei Xue Yan’s powerful aura was simply too shocking for them. This was far above that time when the six great Beast Kings underwent their advancement. Even a strong fellow like Big Bear was filled with a trembling heart!
Although Mei Xue Yan had already controlled the aura to the best of her capability, doing her best to concentrate it completely on Jun Mo Xie and not affect anyone else, the boundless pressure still covered the entire area. Even if there wasn’t any real killing strength in it, the Xuan Beasts were still affected greatly!
This was an aura that even in their bloodline, they were naturally submissive to. It was a reverence that came from deep within their bones. If it was someone else who worked up such a huge aura, it might have even roused their fighting spirit. But right now, that was not possible. They could only worship Mei Xue Yan!
“What are you panicking about? Big Bear scolded as he fastened his trousers. “Line up properly for me and go one at a time! Don’t create a stink here! How uncultured! Do you think that this is your house? You’re not throwing your own face when you behave shamelessly here, but the face of our Tian Fa Forest. Understood?”
The Xuan Beasts made some noises and nodded rapidly, but it was unclear whether they really understood or not…
But one could only pity this tree… it was soon going to be completely drowned in scat and piss… However, there were perhaps some benefits to be found in its misfortune… Several hundred years later, this tree would be the tallest in the forest. The lushness of its leaves and the thickness of its branches would be unrivalled among its fellow trees…
Inside the tent, the roof above the two’s head had already been blown away long ago. Gargantuan amounts of Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi, and green, pure Spiritual Qi constantly flooded in, before disappearing without a trace. This small tent seemed like a black hole that swallowed an endless amount of Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi…
Young Master Jun’s face turned redder and redder, becoming extremely radiant to behold. In fact, it turned to a horrifying shade of purple before suddenly reverting back to its normal state.
Jun Mo Xie signalled for Mei Xue Yan to stop. She nodded and instantly pulled back her aura, dismissing her killing intent and allowing her aura to stabilize.
This round of refueling had filled the Hongjun Pagoda with so much Spiritual Qi that it was nearly on the verge of exploding!
The amount of Spiritual Qi it held was now greater than even before it had expended anything. As for the Spirit Energy in Jun Mo Xie’s body, it had risen greatly because of the large amounts of Spiritual Qi that had passed through his body. Right now, he could once again feel the precipice of a breakthrough!
Perhaps with a bit more comprehension and a bit of fortune, he would be able to breakthrough to the fifth level of the Hongjun Pagoda! Right now, there was only a thin barrier separating him, as thin as a piece of paper… With a single poke, it would immediately break!
In the process of this, Jun Mo Xie could clearly feel the invasion of his Heart Demons. His seven emotions and six sensory pleasures rose as they tried to lead his heart astray. His past life, current life; all the events that had happened in his two lives flashed through his mind, every single scene vivid and clear.
His heart would be filled with rage one moment and tender love the next. Then, he would suddenly be consumed by greed and then become full of happiness. His eyes glowed red with hatred, then shrinked with fear in a split second… All kinds of complicated feelings interchanged within his heart: extreme joy, extreme grief, extreme love…
In that moment, Jun Mo Xie could only hold on resolutely to the sliver of consciousness in his soul. As for everything else, he completely did not bother himself with them!
No matter how much the disruptions were, they were unable to shake his mind!
Regardless of what kind of illusions they were, whether he died or his wife and children torn from him or his family completely destroyed; even if his loved ones were dying in front of his eyes, his heart would not waver. It was as if he couldn’t see the illusions!
It seemed like only an instant had passed, but it was also like he’d experienced the rebirths of thousands of lives. When he opened his eyes again, he actually felt a sense of sorrow and a distant feeling no matter what the illusion in front of him was!
It was as if he’d really lived a thousand lives and returned to reality again!
Even the instant he looked at Mei Xue Yan, he couldn’t help but feel deeply shaken deep within.
Because in that moment, he actually felt a strange distant feeling. They were a short distance away, and yet seemingly poles apart.
“Do you feel a disconnect with everything before you now? No matter who and what it is? Do you feel a loneliness as if you’d experienced countless centuries and millenniums?” Mei Xue Yan smiled lightly and looked at him as she asked in a strange voice.
She was, after all, a person who had walked through the same path before. The moment she saw Jun Mo Xie’s expression, she had already determined what he’d gone through.
“Exactly! What’s the reason for that? Or could it be that everyone who broke through would feel like that!” Jun Mo Xie tested his essence Qi and felt a golden energy rumble in his veins. The energy seemed boundless and his strength felt limitless. It was as if he could lift up a mountain with a single hand!
“Generally, that’s the case. From what I can tell, you are at the second level of Venerable right now! This thing clearly happened before my eyes, but I can still scarcely believe it! How truly inconceivable; to think that your breakthrough would be so quick and so smooth! And so extremely odd!”
The strange look in Mei Xue Yan’s eyes intensified, “Once a person was successful in their breakthrough, they would instantly feel a slight disillusioned feeling. It’s truly as if they’d experienced countless lives and these experiences were in fact real to them! Even when their senses returned to reality, they would instead feel a sense of unfamiliarity with it! Back then, I spent three whole years before I managed to adjust my views back to normal.”
“That is you.” Jun Mo Xie blinked and smiled. “Who is this Young Master? I’m a supreme genius! There’s no way I would be as dumb as a silly girl like you! Look, I’m alright already, HAHA…” His eyes and his expression turned, and in an instant, he completely recovered back to normal!
Mei Xue Yan widened her eyes and looked at him, completely speechless. Who would have thought that this baddy whose face was even thicker than the city walls would recover right after breaking through? This was simply too unbelievable!
One had to know that that was an experience of the thousands of rebirths: the wheel of samsara! Could it be that even that did not have any effects on him? Could it be that this fellow was truly heartless to such a ridiculous extent?!
Or could it be that peerless geniuses were really all like that?
“Silly lass, you’ve forgotten about a very important matter!” Jun Mo Xie looked at her gently. “At the time of this peerless genius’s breakthrough, I had already found love in my heart! Furthermore, the object of that love is right beside me! Thus, I was able to walk out of that state so quickly. When you broke through back then, your heart was completely empty. Although you were unfettered, you were also devoid of feelings! That was why you went through three years of disillusionment. And when you were breaking through to the third level, you were bound by your seven emotions. You need to understand, that love is the origins of life! Throughout the endless rounds of samsara, only ‘love’ is eternal!”
“If you put it like that… it does make sense.” Mei Xue Yan fell silent for a long time before nodding seriously.
“I was originally a heartless person, and nothing could affect me at all. There was no ‘most’ heartless, only more heartless. But for some reason, the heavens had granted me another life, one filled with love! Whether it’s family love, the love between friends, or love of lovers, I’ve managed to experience them all. Thus, right now is the time when I’m the most complete. Which is why, although this trial couldn’t be called completely harmless, it was truly not a large obstacle, and I could naturally recover very quickly.”
Jun Mo Xie smiled lightly. His face was only left with a trace of warmth, and his aura had changed greatly. A kind of natural grace and bearing slowly appeared through his body.
“So what about you? Did you comprehend anything after breaking through to the fourth level?” Jun Mo Xie smiled and looked at Mei Xue Yan. “Did you comprehend any heaven shocking abilities? The kind that could instantly wipe out tens of millions of people?”
“How could there be such an exaggerated ability in this world?” Mei Xue Yan rolled her eyes and pouted. “However, I’ve indeed gained some profits. Only, compared to a monstrous character like you, mine is only a small matter… The method you used to breakthrough was simply too unique! To think that you could use the powerful aura that others use against you to breakthrough! Furthermore, there’s no harm in using it at all. That’s simply too inconceivable!”
This mystery was undoubtedly something that Mei Xue Yan would never understand even if she thought about it for a hundred times.
