Chapter 1632 - 194: Ten Years_2

Chapter 1632: Chapter 194: Ten Years_2

Zhou Ceng expelled a mouthful of turbid air, pressed his hands on the ground, and gently jumped up.

After cultivating the Martial Arts Saint Body, the recovery speed of the flesh body was extremely fast.

A single breath of Qi Mechanism circulated.

The injuries were seventy to eighty percent healed.

For the past two years, he has been guarding the Northern Border Great Wall, having battled each of those Great Venerables from the Demon Country... none could fight to his satisfaction.

The Great Venerables of the Demon Country were not fools either.

They wanted to break through the city and move south to seize the Primordial Energy, to cultivate to a higher realm!

Zhou Ceng, this Martial Fool, uses martial arts to condense Dao, and his physique is comparable to the Heavenly Phoenix Clan... If truly engaged in battle, it would be a fight to the end. These Demon Country Great Venerables, who often preyed on the weak flesh bodies of the Human Race Great Divine Ability Users, found themselves at a disadvantage for once.

Fighting Zhou Ceng for seven days and nights, if left with a Dao injury that becomes chronic, how could they continue their cultivation?

On the Human Race side, Xie Xuanyi provided the Undying Spring.

They did not have such good things.

Therefore...

For the past two years, upon hearing Zhou Ceng’s name, these Great Demons all retreated in avoidance, taking the initiative to avoid the sharp edge.

"If Brother Zhou is willing, you can come to the Sword Palace to find me anytime in the future."

Xie Xuanyi said with a smile.

"Naturally."

Zhou Ceng agreed with a beaming smile, but then he pondered and asked in confusion, "Xie, why have you suddenly changed your temperament... and are proactively looking to spar with me?"

If he remembered correctly, Xie Xuanyi used to avoid and evade him, unwilling to see him.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi was speechless.

Since leaving Wangyou Island, a faint unease welled in his heart.

Ten years.

If Lady Duan’s prophecy was accurate.

After ten years...

The Paperman Sect would re-emerge in the human world.

The time he was left with was limited.

Currently practicing the "Primordial Immortal Technique", and visualizing Great Ape Mountain’s Fighting Saint Skill, he needed someone to spar with.

Zhou Ceng was the best "sparring" partner.

This white-clothed martial artist, strong enough, fists hard enough, most importantly... his Dao Heart was resilient enough, and his War Intent was high enough.

As long as he asked, Zhou Ceng would surely respond.

Actually, upon parting at Wangyou Island, Xie Xuanyi sparred with Lord Duan, that fight was also quite intense, but after less than an hour, Lord Duan voluntarily withdrew...

Though he was a martial artist, not every martial artist was as combative as Zhou Ceng.

When young, Lord Duan also enjoyed fighting.

It’s just that...

In his generation, there was a Zhao Chunyang.

Now Zhao Chunyang is no longer around, and another Xie Xuanyi emerges.

To Lord Duan, he liked "winning" fights, not "taking hits".

He really couldn’t endure Xie Xuanyi’s divine skills. Though the latter offered the Undying Spring, Lord Duan firmly refused to continue fighting, claiming he was too old, suffering from aches, and another round would endanger his life.

Xie Xuanyi was at a loss, having pondered, he directly sought out Zhou Ceng.

Obviously.

Finding Zhou Ceng was the right decision.

"The Fighting Technique you displayed earlier was quite interesting, something unheard of."

The white-robed martial artist, having just been beaten, took two deep breaths and returned to normal, tilting his head and earnestly suggested, "Why don’t we go again, but this time don’t use the ’Harmonization Sword Qi’, let’s keep it pure and simply test your Fighting Technique."

Zhou Ceng could tell Xie Xuanyi seemed to have something on his mind.

As for what was on his mind...

He actually didn’t care.

For Zhou Ceng, there’s a fight to be had, especially one with Xie Xuanyi.

That’s enough.

"Come!"

Xie Xuanyi cleared his thoughts, took a deep breath, and fully immersed himself in the battle with Zhou Ceng to verify the "Primordial Immortal Technique."

...

...

The Demon Country, Snow Mountain.

The cold wind was biting, the campfire flickering.

"Big Brother, are you saying... this peace can only last for ten years?"

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch stood on the mountain peak, gazing into the silver-white distance, incredulously shifting his head.

"More or less."

Cui Zhen sat cross-legged by the firelight, eyes closed, expression calm.

Behind him.

Ye Ling knelt, gently massaging his shoulders and back.

As the former throne of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace and master of the Star Gate Divination Skill, Cui Zhen was also proficient.

"Ten years later, a Great Tribulation will descend."

Cui Zhen said with a smile, "No one will escape the tribulation... If I’m not mistaken, I am one of those destined."

"..."

The expression on Qilin Miaofa True Monarch was complex.

After contemplating for a long time.

The True Monarch sighed lightly and said, puzzled, "In today’s world, what is there for Big Brother to fear?"

He truly couldn’t comprehend what Cui Zhen meant by the Great Tribulation.

The Great Ape Mountain battle, Big Brother successfully comprehended the Harmonization of Yin and Yang.

In terms of strength, among those of the same realm, the only one who could contend with him was Xie Xuanyi from the Da Sui Sword Palace.

Ten years, while short.

For Cui Zhen, it was already enough.

Cui Zhen was reincarnated and relearned, and with ten years of effort, even if he didn’t reach the Yang God Ninth Heaven, he could recover to the Eighth Heaven cultivation level.

Harmonizer, naturally superior to others.

The Cui Zhen of ten years later would be stronger than his peak from the previous life!

Yet even such a powerful Big Brother would face tribulation?

Could this so-called tribulation be the manifestation of Heavenly People? Or, was it the collapse of the Heavenly Dao again, completely annihilating Primordial Energy?

Otherwise...

He really couldn’t think of anything that could threaten Big Brother!

Most importantly, ten years later, Xie Xuanyi should also have cultivated to the same realm...

Even if Big Brother encountered an accident.

Would that Xie also be unable to face the tribulation?

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch did not believe there was any tribulation that these two Harmonizers could not handle.

"The beauty of tribulation lies precisely in this."

Cui Zhen smiled, "The more you want to avoid it, the more you can’t. The less fearful you think it is, the more terrifying it becomes."

Actually...

Back then, that fall was similar.

Cui Zhen had seen his own "tribulation" early on—

He originally didn’t take it to heart, thinking that having cultivated to the Ninth Heaven, coupled with the Undying Spring, he was already invincible in the world.

Never did he expect to encounter Zhao Chunyang in his prime.

After battling Zhao Chunyang and being wounded, he fled along the way.

Ultimately, with nowhere to turn, he died and his Dao disappeared.

This time, Cui Zhen approached the upcoming tribulation with a calm mindset, accepting it peacefully.

What will happen ten years from now?

When the time comes, it will be revealed.

"Big Brother, I will stand by you."

Qilin Miaofa True Monarch said earnestly, "Though I don’t know what the tribulation is...this time, I will be by Big Brother’s side."

"Your Eminence..."

Ye Ling, who was massaging Cui Zhen’s shoulders, also softly echoed.

"I too."

"Ah..."

Upon hearing this, even though Cui Zhen had his eyes closed, a smile appeared on his face.

He shook his head with a smile.

"Actually, what the tribulation in ten years looks like... has already become irrelevant."

Cui Zhen said with a smile, "All these years, I’ve grown weary of fighting. Now, I just want to do what I want to do."

Not far away.

Inside the Snow Mountain, a grand grotto was carved.

Ao Ying sat within the grotto, a fiery red brilliance dancing on his brow.

The Red Dragon Fortune reflected and swirled above the grotto...

In this grotto, on four sides, countless ancient secret patterns were engraved.

Outside the wind and snow howled, inside the faint glow of fire flickered, ever springlike.

Cui Zhen’s "Red Armor Avatar" wielded a Demon Sword while moving inside the grotto, carving and chiseling everywhere like an artisan, tirelessly engraving the secret patterns. After the Harmonization, the two avatars re-united, but this divine skill did not dissipate. As long as Cui Zhen wished, with just a single thought, he could again condense this "Yang Path" into the Red Armor Body.

Furthermore, the Red Armor Body after Harmonization was even more formidable, its flesh body comparable to a Yang God Five Realms Great Demon, and more than that, it could travel thousands of miles, with the Divine Soul undispersed... This is a truly top-level divine power, comparable to the Taoist "One Qi Transforms Three Pure Ones," far exceeding Nalan Xuance’s Armor Puppet Technique.

Currently, the secret patterns being carved by the Red Armor Body were all from the "Ancient Poison Realm."

This grotto was carved personally by Cui Zhen, incorporating this mountain into his Lifebound Cave Heaven, intending to use the "Great Creation Technique" to restore the Divine Soul Secret Treasure of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

From today onward.

This place...

Will be the mountain gate of the "Ancient Dragon Court."
