Chapter 813: Yan Huang

Translator: Sparrow Translations  Editor: Sparrow Translations

A few months ago, everywhere in the world suddenly experienced tremendous changes, including the Holy Region and the four great dynasties. Mountains, rivers, trees, plants, and even the animals, seemed to have gone through some sort of baptism.

All of a sudden, they changed completely.

Some people were happy about the changes, while the rest were worried.

Those who were happy, believed that this was the biggest opportunity in the recent millennium. If even the mountains, rivers, and animals could be baptized, why couldn’t humans be baptized too?

Therefore, there were a lot of people traveling the Holy Region and the four great dynasties, looking for a chance to be baptized.

Those who were worried believed that this was a huge disaster, because there were two extremes to everything. If the baptism was a blessing, what was the hidden condemnation?

No one knew the answers.

The Sixth elder had always been a pessimist. He believed that a huge crisis followed behind every great opportunity. Now that he heard Nangong Hao’s statement, he became more worried than before.

Nangong Hao seemed to have read the Sixth elder’s mind. He glanced at the sixth Elder, then at the disciples, before finally speaking again, “Heaven is the master and Earth is the servant. That’s a fact which would never change.”

“Heaven is the master? Earth is the servant?” The Sixth elder didn’t expect that to be the answer. His body trembled, but no one knew if it was because he was disturbed by Nangong Hao’s blood-red eye, or if it was due to the shock from hearing Nangong Hao’s reply.

However, he quickly took a deep breath and calmed himself down, saying, “I can’t agree with you’ve just said. Although I admit that you’re a genius, but do you really think that you are qualified to talk about Heaven and Earth? Let me ask you something, what is Heaven, and what is Earth?”

“The superior existences are Heaven, and the inferior existences are Earth.” Nangong Hao was extremely calm, completely unfazed by the Sixth Elder’s question.

“Then, what’s superior, and what’s inferior?” The Sixth elder questioned him again.

“There are two ways to determine whether an existence is superior or inferior. Firstly, it’s determined at birth. For example, amongst the countless existences in the world, there are exotic plants, but there are also the common ones. It can also be determined by other living things, such as the king of all beasts and the emperor in the human world.” Nangong Hao answered without much hesitation.

“Splendid answer! I expect no less from Nangong Hao. Your ability to discuss Dao is outstanding. Well, let me take a guess… When you were talking about ‘Heaven’ and ‘Earth’, ‘Superior’ and ‘Inferior’, you were referring to the latter, right?” The Sixth elder nodded and asked again.

“That’s right! One’s superiority is determined by other living things!” Nangong Hao nodded softly.

“I got it now. Although I didn’t know when the Nangong Nobles’ glory days were, I believe that you understand the logic of ‘natural selection’, as well as the fact that all existences go through the cycle of life and death. Even if the Nangong Nobles were once glorious and treated as superiors by other living things, why do you still want to restore its former glory even after thousands of years?”

“No. Sixth elder, you don’t understand. Although all existences would eventually die, and some things would eventually be forgotten, some would never be. Furthermore, when I said ‘at birth’, I wasn’t referring to humans. I was referring to the birth of Heaven and Earth.” Nangong Hao shook his head.

“Birth of Heaven and Earth? Haha… When was that? The post-Archean era? Nangong Hao, you are merely about 20 years old, what would you know about the post-Archean era? Moreover, there were no pens or paper during that era to record down history, so where did you get your information from?” The Sixth elder finally started laughing at this point.

“Sixth elder, have you heard of ‘Yan Huang’?” Nangong Huang didn’t get angry from the Sixth Elder’s sneering, nor did he answer his question. He simply replied with another question as if he was talking to himself.

“Yan..Yan Huang?!” The Sixth elder’s smile froze. His expression changed completely when he looked at Nangong Hao again.

He was actually shocked to his core. Just as Nangong Hao had stated all existences would eventually die, and some things would eventually be forgotten, but that wasn’t true for everything. Even though there were no pens or paper during that era, some things were truly etched into their bones, just like how every person’s blood was red.

The Sixth elder felt extremely complicated.

In fact, he wasn’t alone. All the disciples intuitively took a step back, and they were stunned when they looked at Nangong Hao again.

Holy Region, Ling Yun Tower.

The burning sun and the shiny moon were both glowing in the sky. There were two people beneath them who were glowing equally brightly. One was golden, and the other silvery.

Fang Zhengzhi was rarely impressed by the intensity of a battle. However, he was still amazed by the fight between Qian Yu and Qian Ye.

It wasn’t because their skills were fanciful, rather, it was because of their profound comprehension of Dao, and their extraordinary finesse.

To Fang Zhengzhi… Finesse was his greatest weakness.

To put it bluntly, although he had impressive combat strength and also mastered four of the Six Rebirth Dao Techniques, he was at a disadvantage in a lot of battles.

It wasn’t because he didn’t comprehend enough Dao techniques, but because he was one step away from being a true expert due to his lack of finesse.

Take Qian Ye for example, she could almost fuse with the sun completely during a battle and appear at any location that the sunlight shone on.

Although this seemed to be exaggerated, it was the truth. Qian Yu and Qian Ye didn’t use any overly fanciful skills, but every single one of their moves and attacks seemed to have fused with everything in the world.

That was finesse.

It was just like how a person could only break a tiny brig with the same move that someone else had used to split a giant rock.

Fang Zhengzhi didn’t care about finesse in the past. He just wanted to be ‘full’ by storing as much Origin Energy in his body as much, while also maximizing the number of different kinds and combinations of Dao he could master.

However, he was getting a feeling, that although he had mastered over 2,000 kinds of different Dao techniques, there wasn’t much difference between him and Qian Yu or Qian Ye in terms of combat techniques.

To put it simply, even though he had mastered a lot of Dao techniques, he had way fewer tricks up his sleeves than both Qian Ye and Qian Yu.

Boom!

The golden figure collided against the silvery figure, then they broke up quickly.

The golden figure was covered in a fire-like radiance. Many fireballs kept rising up, and each of them looked like a burning golden lotus.

“Turning sunlight into fire, then into golden lotuses? Each golden lotus contains a different Dao, and most importantly, the Dao is hidden in the golden lotus under the protection of the golden radiance?”

Fang Zhengzhi was hugely impressed by the extreme transformation and Qian Ye’s mastery of Dao. If Mu Qingfeng and the leaders of the other sects were trying to master more advanced Dao techniques, than Qian Ye and Ling Yun Tower’s disciples were trying to maximize their masteries of the Dao techniques that they had already learned.

That happened to be… Fang Zhengzhi’s weakness.

“Pitching my weakness against someone’s strength?”

Fang Zhengzhi felt lucky that he had chosen to stay out of the battle. Sometimes, a person might see the broader picture simply by taking a step back.

“Settle your grudges and resentments now. Use all your strongest moves!” Fang Zhengzhi shouted at Qian Yu and Qian Ye again.

Of course, he was also considering the possibility of turning his Hell Fire into golden lotuses.

“No, they should be black lotuses!”

“Can I make it more powerful? Maybe I could increase the number of petals on my black lotus? 12 petals? 36 petals?” Is it possible to create one with over 2,000 petals!”

“…”

Fang Zhengzhi suddenly envisioned himself carrying a huge black lotus that had over 2,000 petals.

That would be enough to scare a few people to death, right?

“I thought that you’ve actually made some improvements. It seems like I was wrong.” Qian Ye obviously didn’t know what Fang Zhengzhi was thinking, and she had also decided to automatically ignore his nonsense. After all, Qian Yu was standing in front of her.

“Big sister, do you know that you’ve already lost?” Qian Yu was extraordinarily calm, and silvery radiance in her eyes grew increasingly stronger.

“That’s bullshit! Do you think that you are capable of holding back against me?” Qian Yu shouted angrily. She obviously wasn’t going to believe Qian Yu.

“Big sister, have you heard of ‘Moon in the water’?”

“Moon in the water?”

“Yup. Although the sun is bright, it could never leave a clear reflection in the water. However, the moon could do that with its gentle radiance!” As Qian Yu said that, the crescent moon above her head started vibrating.

This was a shocking sight to behold, however, it was more shocking when it turned into two crescent moons afterward.

Two… Moons?!

If there was something that a person could never experience in his life, it would be witnessing two identical moons in the sky.

What was freakier, was that the two crescent moons started growing fuller.

Then, a mind-blowing scene occurred.

After the two crescent moons turned into two full moons, they started splitting again. Two full moons had turned into four crescent moons now.

That wasn’t the end.

The four crescent moons grew fuller and split into eight moons!

Eight moons!

All of them hanging high in the sky, each radiating a pure silvery white light. The moonlight fell onto Qian Yu, and the radiance on her body became blinding.

“Impossible, this is impossible!” After a short daze, Qian Ye screamed angrily at the top of her lungs.

She was truly overwhelmed with disbelief and reluctance to accept the reality.

The disciples of Ling Yun Tower were equally stupefied, so much so that they fell into a daze.

It wasn’t as simple as splitting one moon into eight moons. It meant that Qian Yu was using one-eighth of her strength when she was fighting against Qian Ye.

How scary was that?

Rather, ‘scary’ wasn’t going to cut it, because no one believed that something like this could happen.

“Mom…” Ping Yang intuitively said that because she was overly excited. Then, she turned towards Fang Zhengzhi and asked with her lips curling upwards, “Shameless one, who do you think is stronger, you or my mother?”

“…”

Fang Zhengzhi’s expression changed. He curled his lips at Ping Yang, and he didn’t answer her question.

It wasn’t worth his effort.

How could he answer such a low-quality question?

Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t interested in Ping Yang’s pathetic ideas. He was thinking about holding a gigantic black lotus with over 2,000 petals. He would shout, “Transform!”, and the lone lotus would split into two, then into four, then into eight, then into 16…

How awesome would that be?

Of course, this was just casual thought, because Fang Zhengzhi wasn’t thinking of ‘starting a florist business’ at the moment.

Well, although he wasn’t thinking of doing that, Qian Ye seemed to be thinking of the opposite.

After screaming at the top of her lungs, the golden flame on her body skyrocketed and actually combined with the sun on top of her head.

Ling Yun Tower’s disciples could hardly stand straight because of the heat that descended from the sky. All of them were sweating.

Qian Ye had already lost all her calm and composure that she initially had.

She looked frightfully insane at the moment.

The golden inferno on her body was over 30 meters tall and had connected with the sky. There were countless golden lotuses hidden in the flame.

“Don’t even dream about it, Qian Yu. I won’t lose. I wouldn’t possibly lose!” shouted Qian Ye angrily as a longsword formed by the golden fire appeared in her hand.

However, Qian Yu remained indifferent.

She was just staring at Qian Ye quietly as she bathed in the silvery moonlight, doing nothing about the rampant golden inferno that was savaging the surroundings.
