Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 117: Apothecary Bai Ming's Breakdown 2

He felt stifled within, but Bai Ming also knew that he was unable to refute Zhang Xuan's words.

It was the basics to check the cauldron and flames of the cauldron before forging pills. Even apprentices were aware of it. His action of going straight to forging was clearly a huge mistake.

Using the words in Zhang Xuan's previous world, if a person didn't buckle their seat belt, check the tires, and scan the surroundings before starting to drive, they couldn't refute anything if an accident occurred.

Right now, that was the emotion Bai Ming was experiencing. Lectured by an apprentice apothecary in public, yet unable to refute anything at all. It was clear just by thinking of how stifled he was at this moment.

"Alright, now that I have touched on the cauldron and the flames, I shall talk about the fusing of the medicinal herbs!"

Knowing that the other party would be unable to reply to his words, Zhang Xuan could not be bothered to continue interrogating him over those mistakes of his. Instead, he walked over to the medicinal racks. "Acupoint Soothing Pill requires a total of 47 types of herbs. Given the number of herbs that are involved in the forging process, there are herbs that complement one another, as well as herbs that clash with one another. As such, if you don't control the process properly, it is very easy for the medicinal herb to clash with one another and the pill will be ruined!

"Let me first talk about Apothecary Bai Ming's forging sequence!

"The first herb he put in was Heart Grass! Heart Grass has calming properties and is resilient to high temperature. As such, it requires strong flames to extract its essence. It is correct to place it into the cauldron first so that it can come into contact with the flames earlier to incite its medicinal properties. However… seven breaths after placing Heart Grass in, he placed in the second herb, Split Palm Flower!

"If I'm not wrong, that Heart Grass he took was only half a year old. As such, its medicinal properties are not strong enough and most of it was concentrated on the leaves instead of the meridians. For such a herb, the medicinal effects will be swiftly released upon meeting strong flames. Under normal situations, he should have placed Split Palm Flower in after four breaths. Yet, he delayed it three entire breaths, causing a loss in the medicinal effect by thirteen percent. Fail!

"On the other hand, Split Palm Flower has a maturity of five years and the medicinal effects of it is relatively stronger. He should have slowly released the Split Palm Flowers by the left wall of the cauldron, and the duration of its descent should be roughly half a breath. During this time, the heart of the cauldron would unleash the medicinal effects of it, allowing it to better mix with Heart Grass. However, Apothecary Bai Ming threw the medicinal herb straight it, depriving it of the opportunity to be heated by the cauldron in advance. As such, its medicinal effect wasn't fully unleashed and fourteen percent of the medicinal effect was lost. Fail!

"The medicinal effects of these two herbs clash with one another, so he should have quickly placed in Scattered Floral Grass, which has a pacifying effect for the two. Yet he threw in the violent Lone-eyed Dragon Grass, worsening the clash between the two herbs. As such, eleven percent of the medicinal effect was lost! Fail!

"The Lone-eyed Dragon Grass is a herb with yang properties. After placing it into the scorching cauldron, he should have added Cooling Grass to counteract its effects. Yet Apothecary Bai Ming added Wisdom Mother Grass instead. Wisdom Mother Grass is able to neutralize all medicinal herbs, and as such, it is the best choice to serve as a medium between herbs. However, it is precisely because of that that it completely neutralized the yang properties of the Lone-eyed Dragon Grass, greatly reducing the medicinal effect of the Acupoint Smoothing Pill. Fail!"

"... Fail!

"... Fail!

"... Fail!"

……

Zhang Xuan spoke faster and faster, akin to a machine gun. His every word was logical with evidence to back them up. Every single failure struck like a hammer on Apothecary Bai Ming's face. His face grew paler and paler and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Pill forging was by no means simple. Even with the same herbs, if the maturity was different, it could have different medicinal properties. Not to mention, an apothecary needed to pair them together in a way that complemented them to mix them together and such. Even for a single Acupoint Soothing Pill, three days wouldn't be enough if Zhang Xuan were to go in depth.

This was also the reason why apothecaries were one of the front-runners in the Upper Nine Paths.

"Everything he said is true!"

"To recall the sequence in which Apothecary Bai Ming added the forty-seven medicinal herbs with a single look? What kind of memorization ability does he possess?"

"The most shocking thing isn't him remembering the sequence in which the medicinal herbs were placed in…. It is that he was able to tell the maturity of every single medicinal herb and come up with a method to complement them so as to best unleash its medicinal effects…. Is he really human?"

"Now that I've heard his words, an apothecary really has to take a lot of factors into account. It is no wonder that my pills are unable to reach Perfection or Inscribed Pill. So this is the reason…."

……

…

Upon hearing Zhang Xuan's words, everyone became mute. It was as though their heads had been smashed with a bat, their mouths agape and their eyes wide.

The heck!

This is what you call pill forging!

What we were doing before was simply wasting herbs and insulting this occupation!

Most probably, if they were to use the method he spoke of to forge this pill, the pill would be able to reach higher heights. Perfection and even Inscribed Pill wouldn't be problems!

This was no longer a theory that a 1-star apothecary could come into contact with. Only the more advanced apothecaries would pay attention to such minute details!

Everyone was dumbfounded. At this moment, the thought of suicide even ran through Apothecary Bai Ming's head.

Listening to the words of the other party, his entire pill forging sequence was a failure. How could this be considered pill forging? He must be forging feces instead!

Furthermore… at least when one forges feces, they don't waste any materials. Yet, when he forged a pill, he wasted all of the medicinal herbs used in it….

Pu!

The stifling sensation in his chest grew heavier and heavier, and he puked a mouthful of blood.

All along, he thought of himself as talented in pill forging, and that he was truly a highly-skilled apothecary. Yet, upon hearing the words of the other party, he realized that his standards couldn't even match up to that of a child's!

All of the confidence he held in the past was completely shattered. The current him feared to even approach a cauldron now.

His body trembled violently. Just a moment ago, he stood up proudly and determinedly to punish Zhang Xuan for his humiliation. Yet, at this moment, his complexion was turning more and more awful, as though he were going berserk.

A moment later, he gritted his teeth.

"That's right. Given my standards, what kind of pills can I possibly forge? All I'm doing is wasting medicinal herbs! From today onward, I, Bai Ming, will not forge a single pill anymore. If I break this vow, let the Heavens tear me apart!"

A vow resounded in the hall.

"What?"

"He vowed not to forge a single pill anymore?"

"Apothecary Bai Ming…"

……

Upon hearing the vow he made, everyone was flabbergasted. They couldn't help but shudder, upset at the thought of the loss of a comrade.

For an apothecary to vow to never forge a single pill anymore was equivalent to bidding the world of pill forging farewell. The effort he had put in for his entire life had all gone to waste.

And the reason for that was a mere apprentice apothecary pointing out the flaws in his pill forging process!

"Isn't he being too rash…." An apothecary couldn't help but comment.

"If you were criticized like that, what would you do?" another apothecary responded.

"I…" The former paused halfway through, unable to find a word to say.

What the other party said was true. If he were in the place of Apothecary Bai Ming, upon realizing that his forging technique was nothing but flaws and the hard work he had devoted into it was nothing but rubbish, the confidence he had held for countless years would probably collapse in an instant!

The moment he lost all his confidence, the trauma he received from it would cause him to be unable to forge a single pill for the rest of his life. Rather than suffer in anguish over it, he might as well simply make a vow to never forge a single pill anymore!

Pill forging wasn't a joke. Mental state, skill, confidence… all of these factors were absolutely required. Without confidence, how could one be called an apothecary?

"To make an experienced apothecary lose all of his confidence and fear forging just by pointing out his mistakes…"

Such a thought flashed across their minds in an instant. Taking another glance at Zhang Xuan, their hearts skipped a beat.

It was no wonder that he was reluctant to speak of their flaws in pill forging. It was not that he was unable to discern anything from it and resorted to other methods to make up for his weakness. Only now did they know… the other party wasn't in the least as ignorant as they thought. Rather, it was because he knew too much that he feared he would shatter the last bit of confidence they had!

Brother, we would like to ask you: Are you the apprentice apothecary or are we?

Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 116: Apothecary Bai Ming's Breakdown 1

"Amazing!"

"Only Apothecary Bai Ming possesses such capabilities, to think that he could successfully forge a Acupoint Soothing Pill under such circumstances!"

"It is extremely difficult to forge an Acupoint Soothing Pill. Even more so, Apothecary Bai Ming's forging technique is so complex that I have never seen it before. Now I am curious to see what Zhang Xuan will say!"

"Hehe, let's wait for the show then!"

Upon seeing Apothecary Bai Ming forging an Acupoint Soothing Pill, most of the apothecaries present laughed.

The higher grade a pill was, the more complex the method required to forge it. Acupoint Soothing Pill could be considered one of the higher grade pills among the grade-1 tier and its forging method was incomparably complex. Even the rest of them were unable to perceive any mistakes in his forging technique, so how could an apprentice possibly see anything?

"Alright, I'm done forging the pill. Tell me, what's the name of the forging technique and the flaws in it!"

Sneering, Apothecary Bai Ming brought his breathing back to normal and gestured grandly.

'Even though I don't know where you got the information on us, but if you wish to successfully pass a Pill Debate depending solely on that, dream on!

'Without true capability to point out the flaws in a forging technique, you will never earn my respect!'

"Are you sure you want me to say?" A peculiar expression appeared on Zhang Xuan's face as he said those words.

"Quit trying to mystify things here. If you can't find the words, just admit defeat!" Apothecary Bai Ming harrumphed.

"Alright then!"

Zhang Xuan shook his head. With his hands behind his back, he slowly walked to the center of the room.

"The forging technique you used is called【Thousand Mountain Hands】and is said to have been created by a 2-star apothecary named Feng Xuan. You must put the medicinal herb into the cauldron based on a special sequence, similar to the mountainous regions, one mountain after another like you're traversing the lands. Similarly, you throw the medicinal herbs in wave after wave. The way you control the fire is also based on such a sequence, strong at one moment, weak at the other. By forging pills in such a method, it is easier for the medicinal properties to fuse together and thus makes it likelier that a pill is formed! However, its flaws are also clear to see. It's difficult to raise the quality of the pill itself!

"Therefore, even though you managed to forge three Acupoint Soothing Pills successfully, they are of the lowest level. It is nearly impossible for you to reach Satiation. Such forging techniques are only suitable for the mass production of pills by low-skilled apothecaries. Put bluntly, none of the slightly better apothecaries would learn such a skill, because it means putting a barrier in front of their future path. No matter how many times you practice the skill, it is impossible to raise the quality of the pill in the slightest. As a result, there is no reason for them to learn it.

"Unless… you don't think that you have any potential left in you, that's why you are giving up on yourself!" Zhang Xuan smiled and shot a meaningful glance at him. "Apothecary Bai Ming, may I know if what I said is true?"

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing the words of the other party, Bai Ming gritted his teeth, embarrassed and angry.

As the de facto head of the Bai clan, as well as a 1-star apothecary, he possessed exceptional standing in the capital. Yet, by the words of the other party, he became an… apothecary with low standards… no more potential left….

However, he was unable to refute his words.

The flaw of the Thousand Mountain Hands was exactly as the other party said. Even though he was able to produce the Acupoint Soothing Pill easily, it was difficult for him to further refine its quality.

"You don't need to feel gleeful over this. So what if you can point out these? You need to point out the errors in my movements previously before it can be considered your victory!" Taking a deep breath, Bai Ming suppressed his anger.

"Alright!"

Instead of arguing with him, Zhang Xuan stepped forward and walked toward the cauldron. "Then allow me to start from the very basics!

"As long as you are an apothecary, you know that you require incredible control over the flame and the cauldron to produce high-quality pills. Earlier, Apothecary Bai Ming started forging his pills right after picking up the medicine. How much do you know about this cauldron? What about the flames?

"You don't need to refute my words by saying that the specifications of these cauldrons are roughly the same. I can clearly tell you that even with the same medicinal herb, flames, and cauldron, the medicine you forge can be different. This is due to a miniscule difference or a tiny mistake made by the apothecary that the pills forged will be a quality lower than what it should be!"

His hands stroking the cauldron, Zhang Xuan continued, "If you don't believe me, I can show you now noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

"This cauldron has a height of 7 chi and 3 cun and width of 3 cun and 2 chi. It was created by a 3-mo craftsman in the Stone Well Workshop seven years and three months ago. A total of 147 pills have been forged using and of it, of which 88 were grade-1 pills and 59 were pills lower than grade-1! During the transportation of the cauldron, it suffered three impacts. There are a total of thirteen slight scratches throughout the entire cauldron. It won't cause too much trouble when forging ordinary pills, but it will scatter the medicinal effects and spiritual energy within the pill. As such, due to the insufficient medicinal effects harnessed within the pill, the quality of the pill will drop!

1 chi -> 30.3cm, 1 cun -> 3.03cm

"This cauldron is slightly thicker than a cun and it requires an incense's time and thirty-four breaths for the heat to completely permeate the cauldron. Also, the thickness of the cauldron walls on the left and right are slightly different, around three hair strands off. Don't underestimate the difference in this thickness! With the same flames, there will be a five percent difference in the temperature between both sides. The medicinal effects of Scattered Floral Grass and Lone-eyed Dragon Grass of the Acupoint Soothing Pill will be completely different when placed on either side!"

"Are you for real?"

"There is even such a thing for a cauldron?"

……

Upon listening to Zhang Xuan's casual explanations, the jaws of the apothecaries fell to the floor and they felt like they were going insane.

Even though they knew that a difference in the cauldron could result in the formation of different pills, never did they imagine that there was such wisdom behind a cauldron.

Furthermore…

This was a cauldron that the Apothecary Guild brought in specially for this Pill Debate. How did he know so much about it? To even know where it was made, how thick the walls were, its size and how many pills it had forged?

The heck, you are about to bash through the heavens!

To see all these with a single glance, are you… a monster?

"Alright, I will continue to talk about the flames then!"

Ignoring the astonished expression on everyone's faces, Zhang Xuan pointed to the flames burning beneath the cauldron and continued, "This is where the heat of the 【Heavenly Coal】 originates from, as well as the hottest part. With the heat here, even metal could be easily melted. By propelling it with a fighter's zhenqi, you can easily control the strength of the flames and thus the temperature of the cauldron."

"However… the flames do not come into direct contact with the medicinal herbs. They are placed in the cauldron, and in there, they form pills. How much heat from the flames permeates through the cauldron walls and how much of it is left in the cauldron is what we need to grasp clearly in our minds."

"Heavenly Coal is a coal exceptionally suited for forging pills. Not only is it capable of reaching high temperatures, the permeability of its heat is also incredible. For normal coal, after permeating through a cun of cauldron walls or so, only thirty-seven percent of the heat will be retained. On the other hand, the Heavenly Coal retains forty-six percent! Only by knowing this much can you ascertain the temperature the medicinal herbs inside are under, how long it will take for the medicinal properties of the herbs to be best unleashed, and how you can forge the highest quality pill!"

"Of course, these are only the bare basics that an apothecary needs to know, so they can't be considered as flaws. I am just casually introducing them!"

Zhang Xuan smiled and glanced at Bai Ming standing off to the side. "However, I would like to ask Apothecary Bai Ming: before forging the pills… did you notice these?"

Apothecary Bai Ming felt his hair standing on end and he almost fainted on the spot.

'Notice? Notice your head!

'I am just forging a normal pill! Given how complicated these things are, how the heck would I know?

'Besides, even if I had been concerned with them, there was nothing I could do. You can't expect me to find a ruler and start measuring the entire cauldron before testing the temperature of the coal bit by bit!

'If I started doing so, it would be two days before I could start forging!'

Library of Heaven's Path - Chapter 115: Acupoint Soothing Pill

Even though the person in front of them had only pointed out the flaws in the pill forging techniques of three apothecaries, the abilities he had revealed in doing so induced fear and terror in the remaining few.

Not just them, even Chen Jiang's swift and fluid actions—factoring in the short duration he took to forge the pill—were clearly seen through by Zhang Xuan, who had also analyzed the origin of his movements, and deduced that he had stolen the forging techniques of others….

That ability of discernment and knowledge of his was something none of the people here could match up to.

"Three apothecaries have admitted defeat, seven more to go. Who will go first?"

Seeing all of them silence, Zhang Xuan continued to stare at them.

Pill Debate required ten apothecaries to admit their defeat before Zhang Xuan could be declared victorious.

"This…"

Silence continued to linger about the remaining seven apothecaries.

It was one thing if the other party's ability to discern matters was impressive, but of the three apothecaries he faced previously, one was exposed for being cuckolded, one turned out to be on the verge of death, and the last one had his reputation tarnished….

They were only here for the Pill Debate. They didn't want their secrets exposed because of this!

The other party's ability to discern was so incredible that he could immediately tell a difference if their state of mind was in the slightest bit off. Given such circumstances, who would still dare to challenge him?

Furthermore… they couldn't admit defeat without competing in Pill Debate!

If they did so, it was equivalent to going easy on the other party, which was considered as an act of cheating. Once revealed, they would be stripped of their apothecary qualification.

As such, the awkward silence continued to linger in the atmosphere as no one dared to step forward.

"Please hurry up, we can't possibly continue to drag this matter on like this!"

Sensing the awkward atmosphere lingering about, Ouyang Cheng couldn't help saying, "I'll go!"

After a momentary silence, Apothecary Du Man stood up.

He was acquainted with Zhang Xuan and had even bet over him. What he thought to be an arrogant fellow turned out to be a figure with incredible capability and outstanding discernment ability.

Even he himself was far from a match for him in this aspect.

However, he didn't have a choice either way. After all, they couldn't continue stalling time here like this.

"Apothecary Du Man, allow me to go instead!"

Just as Du Man was about to start forging so that Zhang Xuan could point out the flaws in the process, an elder stood up.

"It's Apothecary Bai Ming!"

"Just now, Zhang Xuan exposed that Cheng Jiang had secretly learned his Illusory Silk Hands. He was extremely furious. Why would he make a move now?"

"I have no idea. Let's watch!"

……

Upon seeing this elder, the others shuddered.

Even though Apothecary Bai Ming wasn't the oldest of the group, he was the most qualified and respected one.

That was because he wasn't just a mere apothecary; he was also the de facto head of one of the Four Great Clans in Tianxuan City, the Bai clan.

He was a person who held great authority and strength in his hands.

"Since Apothecary Bai is going to make a move, I'll back down first!"

Apothecary Du Man returned to his seat.

He was unable to match up to Bai Ming in terms of qualifications and standing.

"Zhang Xuan, you possess incredible ability of discernment and analysis. However… you just happened to be lucky. In actuality, you don't really possess much knowledge on pill forging!" After the examiner had been confirmed, Bai Ming glanced at Zhang Xuan, his tone hostile.

It was no wonder that he was so angry. While he was angry at Cheng Jiang for stealing the secret manual passed down within his family, being exposed in public also made him feel humiliated.

After all, it was shameful for the powerful Bai clan to be unable to prevent a lone apothecary from stealing from them. If word spread, the Bai clan would become a laughingstock.

"Lucky? Why would Apothecary Bai say that?"

Zhang Xuan was taken aback.

"Simple. Regardless of whether it was Meng Yan, Chen Xiao, or Cheng Jiang, the flaws you said may seem to make sense. However, if we think deeper into things, it was also possible for you to have investigated their personality flaws and the recent happenings around them beforehand, and worked backward to infer the flaws in their forging techniques!"

Bai Ming harrumphed.

"Worked backward?"

"Now that Apothecary Bai said so, it does make sense!"

"Indeed! For example, in Meng Yan's case, if you knew he killed his concubine in the morning in advance and that he had killing intent and rage within him, you could safely deduce that the Tranquil Heart Pill he forged would be ineffective!"

"The same for Apothecary Chen Xiao as well! If you knew he was sick and didn't have much time to live, you could infer that there would be a problem with the pills. After all, the Tranquil Heart Pill reflects the forger's state of mind. Even a pig could tell that something would be wrong with those pills if it had heard of that information beforehand!"

"Now that you all have put it in such a way, it truly explains a lot of things. If he had made preparations beforehand and dug up the matter of Cheng Jiang stealing our forging techniques, it would be a simple matter to guess the references in his forging technique!"

……

Bai Ming's words were like a rock thrown in water, generating countless ripples on the surface. Everyone "came to a realization," seemingly understanding what had just happened.

It was because they were unable to understand how the other party was able to see through those flaws that they felt fear. Now that they understood the "reason," the fear they felt vanished.

In fact, if they they of this information beforehand, they could also make the same judgement that Zhang Xuan did on the flaws of the forging techniques of the previous three.

"Oh? Working backward? What an interesting thought!" He didn't expect Apothecary Bai Ming's imagination to be so vivid. Smirking, Zhang Xuan continued, "Regardless of what methods I used, I can pass as long as I can identify the flaws in your forging techniques!"

"Indeed. It will be your win if you manage to see through the flaws in my forging technique. However, I want to change the rules as well!" Apothecary Bai Ming said.

"Oh?"

"The gist of it will still be the same, I will forge a pill while you identify a mistake in my forging technique. However… I want you to point out true mistakes in my forging process, such as in my skills, ability to control flames, and the way I mixed the medicinal herbs together rather than involving emotions and other miscellaneous stuff. This way, you can't use the knowledge you know of beforehand to work backward to identify the flaws in my forging technique!"

Bai Ming harrumphed.

"That's right!"

"This way, he won't be able to talk about emotions and the sort!"

"With these rules, he can't work backward to deduce the flaws even if he wants to!"

"This is what I call pointing out flaws..."

……

The apothecaries nodded their heads in agreement.

To speak the truth, everyone had been frightened by Zhang Xuan's ability to point out the flaws in them. As a cultivator, charging forward and emerging victorious among millions of people, who hadn't done anything against their conscience before? It would be embarrassing if this lad were to reveal their darkest secrets.

Thus, the new rule that Apothecary Bai Ming came up with immediately received everyone's approval.

He was only allowed to point out flaws in pill forging. Bringing in external matters such as murder or being on the verge of death was prohibited.

Even if they were apothecaries… such scares weren't what humans could handle!

"Are you certain?"

Upon hearing the rules set by the other party, how could Zhang Xuan possibly remain oblivious to what they were thinking? One corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth curved upwards.

"Of course!" Apothecary Bai Ming flung his sleeves. "Now, it is a question of whether you're brave enough to accept the challenge!"

Zhang Xuan could not be bothered to argue with him over the matter.

"Great!"

Seeing him agree to it, Apothecary Bai Ming heaved a sigh of relief. After pondering for a moment, he grabbed a few ingredients and walked to the cauldron.

Fwoosh boosh!

The fire started burning furiously and Apothecary Bai Ming began his pill forging.

Not too long after, the fire weakened and three round pills were extracted from the cauldron.

Grade-1 pill, Acupoint Soothing Pill! It was specially prepared for Fighter 6-dan experts to soothe their acupoints, allowing them to travel further in the Pixue realm.

Back then, Elder Shang Chen spent a huge price to purchase one for Shang Bin. The latter gave it to the Sky Shattering Lion as the cost of teaching Zhang Xuan a lesson.

Even so, the Sky Shattering Lion eventually betrayed him, filling Shang Bin with resentment against it.

No matter what, the Acupoint Soothing Acupoint was considered one of the superior grade-1 pills, something that Tranquil Heart Pill was far from matching up to.

Limitless - Chapter 148: Three Stage Test

Xu Xiaoxian looked cautiously at the black robed youth, then at Chu Yu, her eyes bouncing around and no one knew what she was thinking.

Then, she automatically revealed her true appearance.

Long haired, slender waist, bangs, and an adorable pair of eyes!

She was extremely tall, her skin was white, tender and glimmering. Her bosom was full and her waist was slim. She had long pencil thin legs, way more perfect than the foreigner Lilitha!

She wore a light yellow dress. Her features looked like they were from a painting and she looked like a goddess.

Fatty was completely stunned by her, wasn’t this the ordinary looking girl in the pink princess dress?

He looked at Chu Yu, lost, but saw that Chu Yu was still calm.

Faking it!

Must be faking it!

Fatty thought to himself.

Could there possibly be such a perfect girl in this world?

Legend has it that there were four beauties in the ancient world which made flowers ashamed to bloom in the face of their beauty, and fishes stayed in the depths, ashamed by their unattractiveness.

Fatty had never known what kind of beauty that was, until he saw Xu Xiaoxian’s real appearance. All of a sudden, he realized that she was the most gorgeous lady ever to set foot on this planet.

"All of a sudden, I feel like I want to start a relationship..."

Fatty murmured to himself.

The black robed youth looked at Fatty sympathetically, he had thought so previously too.

However, even though Xu Xiaoxian was one of the prettiest ladies in the entire universe, he would keep his distance. He would do so even if she was the PRETTIEST lady in the universe.

The golden armored youth had no reaction to Xu Xiaoxian’s beauty. He said flatly, "Let’s go."

The group of them, under the leadership of the golden armored youth, approached a barren mountain.

This mountain was thousands of meters high. It was bald and ancient, no trees were growing on it.

Looking at it, it looked like a huge tomb!

At the bottom of the barren hill, the golden armored youth bowed and reported, "Master, I have brought them over."

At this moment, a limestone door appeared in front of them.

An ancient aura could be felt immediately, this place was millions of years old.

The limestone door opened silently. Inside was chaos and one could not see anything, almost as if it separated two worlds.

"Go on in." The golden armored youth said.

Chu Yu did not hesitate, since he was here, what was there to think about?

Fatty followed closely behind, his legs shivering.

Xu Xiaoxian and the black robed youth also made their way through the door.

The golden armored youth did not follow, he just stood guard outside.

After the few of them entered, the door vanished.

After Chu Yu entered, he was faced with a huge palace complex.

A topless, long haired, bulky man had a foreign animal hide wrapped around his waist. The hide radiated a wave of suppressive aura that made it difficult for people to breathe.

This man sat atop the throne!

He was filled with explosive power, capable of catching the stars and moons with ease.

His eyes were bright, almost like they were shining stars in the night sky.

He looked at the four people in the palace and said solemnly, "Commoners, approach."

Chu Yu and the others walked forward and bowed deeply, "We request an audience with Senior Yi!"

"Requesting an audience with Master Yi!" Fatty was also extremely respectful.

"Requesting an audience with Ancestor Yi." Xu Xiaoxian and the black robed youth bowed with respect too.

"Please, rise."

The man said flatly.

After which, his gaze fell on Chu Yu and the others, "I already know what you are here for."

The four of them were silent, awaiting Yi’s next statement.

"It is indeed a pity that a treasure like the red bow is kept here." Yi said flatly, "However, my most precious inheritance cannot be given away lightly. "

Fatty looked at Xu Xiaoxian and the black robed youth. He wanted to say something, but held his tongue.

In the face of a god, he did not dare to speak freely.

Yi looked at Xu Xiaoxian, then at the black robed youth, "You too are from the outside world, but do you know that you are actually descendants of this world?"

"Ay?"

Xu Xiaoxian and the black robed youth stiffened, completely stunned and lost.

Yi said, "Your bodies flow with the blood of ancestors, and you are definitely descendants of China."

"How... how is this possible?" The black robed youth was surprised. He murmured, "I should be the prince of the stars in the Orion constellation... how can I be a descendant of China?"

Xu Xiaoxian also frowned, deep in thought. She too was in disbelief, but she didn’t say anything.

"As such, even though you are from different camps, you also have the right to get my inheritance, and have the right to wield the red bow to rid the world of evil."

Even though Yi was peerless, he seemed to be rather approachable.

Furthermore, he was quite different from the golden armored youth outside.

The golden armored youth did not have any aura of life or death. If not for the fact that he revealed traces of emotion occasionally, he could really be passed off as a robot.

But Yi was different!

When he sat there, both the blood aura from his body, and his lively eyes and expressions, were no different from a living human being!

Fatty had done some research into this, incredibly shocked.

It was like seeing a god!

This was not an illustrated deity, not something you saw only in legends and stories, this was an actual, living god noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Chu Yu clasped his fist and said, "Senior Yi, Junior here has something to say."

"Do you want to say that, the two of them... are outsiders?"

Yi’s face broke out in a deep sound as he used the Voice Transmission Technique to ask Chu Yu.

"No matter where they are from, as long as they have the same blood flowing through them, you will be fighting side by side."

Chu Yu stiffened and did not say anything else.

Xu Xiaoxian glanced at Chu Yu and humphed inside, You little brat, you must be thinking of ratting me out! You just wait and see, once I leave this place, I will deal with you!

Afterwhich, Yi did not say anything else, instead using a powerful sacred art to send them into isolated realms.

At the same time, he told the four of them the same thing.

"There are three stages, intelligence, strength and courage. Different results will give you a different inheritance. Since you have made it here, your paths and mine do cross, but the result, depends on yourself."

Chu Yu’s senses piqued, in the next moment, to his surprise, he found himself in a strange space.

Here, the mountains were high and rivers flowed. Ancient trees reached to the sky and the entire space was saturated with spiritual energy!

One did not even need to be cultivating for large amounts of spiritual energy to come gushing in.

Chu Yu used his Killing Days Heart Technique, opening up all his acupoints and meridians, sucking in the spiritual energy from the surroundings manically.

"What kind of test is this?"

Chu Yu was stunned.

He could feel the energy in his body increasing rapidly, and this was no hallucination.

This was real.

Even though Yi had said that there would be three tests, testing their wit, strength and courage, which one of the three was the current one?

Chu Yu scratched his head, lost.

As he was thinking about it, a few figures emerged from the thick forest.

These men were all wearing attire foreign to Chu Yu, and their aura was powerful.

One of them was laughing loudly, "Haha, Brother Fang Zheng is powerful, at this rate, you will be able to reach the Supreme Realm in no time. By that time, we can go hunting in the village of cultivation. It is said that for each descendant of a sinner we kill, we can gain more profound Dao. Hahaha, this is a great opportunity, we can continue to cultivate through killing!’

Chu Yu’s eyes immediately lit up.

What place was this?

Go to the village of cultivation to massacre the descendants of sinners?

Killing can give someone more profound Dao.

Kill to cultivate?

What kind of logic was that? Was it still something a normal person would say?

How do they treat people like them?

Like pigs, dogs, cows, and lambs?

They weren’t even fit to be called beasts!

Chu Yu felt a strong wave of anger in his heart, but his expression was still calm. He suppressed all of his aura, ensuring that there would be no leaks.

At the same time, he guessed what kind of place this was.

These group of men kept talking about the village of cultivation, meaning that they weren't from the Solar System.

Could they be from the Mirror World?

That didn’t seem quite likely.

Chu Yu was aghast.

Didn’t Lin Shi say that entrance into the Mirror World required great luck and opportunity?

How could a single test by Yi send him into the mirror world?

The few men also spotted Chu Yu standing there, looking lost.

The man who was just speaking had a flash of iciness in his eyes. He pointed at Chu Yu, "Who are you? How dare you eavesdrop on us?"

Then, without waiting for a reply, he bellowed, "You appeared here so sinisterly, you are definitely up to no good, kneel and beg for forgiveness!’

Was this guy’s brain damaged?

"I have been standing here all this while, you were the ones who barged through. Isn’t such a reaction overboard?"

Chu Yu’s expression was solemn. The man’s words had already angered him.

Yet now, he was trying to force Chu Yu to do something without reason. This made Chu Yu feel like this man deserves death.

"You dare to resist?"

As he spoke, he tried to slap Chu Yu.

This slap was almost like a huge mountain crashing down on Chu Yu’s head.

The air began to form an air wave and crashed towards Chu Yu, smashing all the ancient trees in the way to smithereens!

This was a King’s Realm cultivator!

When facing Chu Yu, he did not even use any of the sacred arts.

He wanted to use his single slap to kill Chu Yu!

Chu Yu used the Racing Sacred Art and dodged the slap with lightning reflexes. Then, without hesitation, he pulled out the replica Divine Punisher Blade.

He chopped down viciously at this man’s hand.

A ray of light flashed past!

The replica Divine Punisher Blade radiated immense light, causing many of the opponents to close their eyes unconsciously.

If they had tried to force open their eyes, even as King’s Realm cultivators, the light could blind them permanently!

Kacha!

The hand of this King’s Realm cultivator was chopped off by Chu Yu’s replica Divine Punisher Blade.

He let out an earth shaking howl!

"My hand!"

Limitless - Chapter 147: Golden Armor Youth

This man appeared in front of Chu Yu in the blink of an eye. Chu Yu could not feel any aura or life or death from his body.

He gave Chu Yu the feeling that he was a robot.

This figure was enveloped by mist, and one could barely make out his golden armor and helmet.

A pair of icy, apathetic eyes could be seen through the mist.

Chu Yu hung there, unable to move.

This kind of energy was foreign to Chu Yu. It made him extremely exasperated and he felt helpless and weak.

Fatty probably felt the same way.

"How should I address you, senior?" Chu Yu attempted to communicate with this man.

"I am insignificant."

This figure clad in mist actually spoke.

"Senior is able to be beside Master Yi, how can you be insignificant?" Chu Yu did not dare to mention Houyi.

There were vast differences when it came to the culture and ideals of the ancient and modern times. The ancient times stuck to hierarchy and titles very seriously.

"Who are you? Why do you enter the Mysterious Yin World?" This man glared icily at Chu Yu.

It seemed as though he would strike as long as he sensed deceit.

"Does senior know what day it is today?" Chu Yu asked.

"No... I don’t."

This man contemplated for a long while before saying measuredly and deliberately, "The Mysterious Yin World is without day or time, I do not know what day it is today."

"Then, senior must have been born in the ancient times?" Chu Yu asked.

"Ancient times? I can’t remember." This man raised his hand and rubbed his temples.

Chu Yu was getting a headache when Fatty suddenly asked, "Which emperor did senior live under?"

"Emperor... Yao?"

This man finally reacted and said slowly, "I remember now, Yao was my emperor! Master Yi was my owner!"

"We are also Han descendants." Chu Yu replied, "Senior has been here and may not know that the world today... has already gone through vast changes."

This man was interested, "Tell me about it."

After which, Chu Yu and Fatty began to describe the current world in great detail.

They weren’t particularly excited by it, but in order to protect their own lives, they had to give it their all.

This Mysterious Yin World was too strange. Fatty had seen snippets of information about it, but even the Thief Sect didn’t have too many details, as such, Fatty had not thought about it initially.

Even now, Fatty was still extremely confused about this Mysterious Yin World.

He could guess that this was the isolation of Yin and Yang, but he did not know how it could be done.

All he could do was cooperate with Chu Yu and try to move this terrifying man.

In the end, this man also had a preliminary understanding about the current world.

After contemplating in the air for a long while, he sighed, "With so many aeons passed immortality seems to be just an idea,"

Chu Yu was silent, even though he didn’t fully understand what this man was saying, he found that this man’s description of the aeons was quite different from what he understood in the legends.

In the legends, Emperor Yao was someone who lived 5000 years ago, he was one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

However, this man had said aeons...

Aeons and 5000 years were vastly different.

Chu Yu’s suspicion began to rise.

However this man said, "Even though there is no day or time here, according to my records, aeons have passed."

Chu Yu’s head throbbed, he felt that the legends he heard were too factually different from the truth.

The initial legends and their records had many editions, but no one edition could earn the approval of everyone.

Even century old history was masked by time and unable to be fully unearthed, not to mention history from aeons ago.

"Could senior please tell us some of the history from back then?" Chu Yu asked sincerely.

He could feel that although this figure did not have any aura of life or death, he was who killed others easily.

Else, he would not have stood here and communicated with them for so long.

The intense fear in his heart also abated.

"Every period in history has various breaks..." As he spoke, he released Chu Yu and Fatty from their restrains with a wave of his hand.

The limitless light radiating from their bodies also died down slowly.

Fatty screamed for his life as he fell from the sky.

He was merely an Invigorated Meridian Realm martial artist. Since he was not a Xiantian cultivator, he could not hover in the air.

"Weak." This man said calmly, then stopped Fatty’s fall with a wave of his hand.

Then he slowly lowered Fatty to the ground.

Chu Yu, on the other hand, slowly dropped to the ground.

Fatty looked at Chu Yu with envy and sighed, "Xiantian cultivators are indeed powerful..."

"Xiantian?" The mist around this man immediately dissipated and he landed next to these two men, revealing his towering figure.

The glow from his golden armor was stunning. It didn’t seem to be made from metal, rather, it looked like an animal’s pelt!

The helmet glimmered like gold.

This man looked extremely young, not even in his thirties.

His face was expressionless as he looked at Fatty, "Xiantian is merely a novice realm of cultivation."

"May I know what cultivation realm senior is at?" Fatty immediately asked.

"Realm? Before entering the Mysterious Yin World, I was in the True Lord Realm." Then, this man sighed, "Cultivation realm is meaningless, it all turns to nothing."

"..."

Chu Yu and Fatty were both exasperated, they had to give this guy high marks for his acting.

According to him, he had been in the Mysterious Yin World for aeons. If he was already a True Lord Realm cultivator when he entered... what realm was he in now?

It was no wonder that the ripples generated by his arrow were nearly lethal. Chu Yu could only thank his lucky stars that he had his vertical eye to protect him.

Else, that arrow would have killed him.

It was also lucky that the arrow was not shot at Fatty, else, he would have been a dead Fatty.

Fatty looked at this man with admiration, "Senior, what is your armor made of? It looks magnificent!"

"Dragon skin." This man said flatly.

F*ck me...

Chu Yu and Fatty looked at each other, clearly shocked.

They wondered to themselves, Who was this god?

Was he really only an ordinary subordinate of Houyi?

This was impossible!

However, if they had thought about it another way, it would be easily understandable. Anyone who would be brought into the tomb with Houyi to retain their consciousness could not possibly just be an ordinary subordinate.

At this point, this man looked to Chu Yu and Fatty, "What are you two commoners doing here?"

This question could not be avoided.

Fatty and Chu Yu looked at each other, then Chu Yu replied, "I wanted to retrieve Master Yi’s red bow!"

"Naive."

This man was not at all furious. His expressionless face finally revealed traces of condescension.

It was faint, if one was not observant, it would have been missed.

Chu Yu felt slightly awkward, but he stilled said solemnly, "Now that the world is recovering and the spiritual energy is filling up, beings from other planets and universes are looking to invade us. However, right now... we are too weak. We are looking to make ourselves stronger so we can face these enemies."

"Yes exactly, that’s right, we want to protect our home!" Fatty added on passionately.

"The red bow is Master Yi’s precious treasure, how could he possibly give it to commoners like yourself?" This man shook his head and said, "However..."

At this point, almost as if he sensed something, his eyes became sharper.

He said icily, "Lifeform from the outside, how dare you enter this place?"

Then, even without much action on his part, two sounds appeared in the space above his head...

"Let me down!"

Xu Xiaoxian’s voice echoed out.

"Stop shouting, this is an Immortal Yang Immortal Yin tomb!"

The black robed youth’s voice rung out, at the same time, it was trembling, "How could there be a tomb of such regulation in this world?"

Regulation?

Chu Yu and Fatty both heard this clearly.

That black robed youth had used the word regulation, and it didn’t... sit quite right.

According to Fatty’s understanding, this tomb was set up as an Immortality Magical Formation by the tomb owner before he passed. After his death, he could continue living without Yin or Yang, or the five elements. This world would be completely isolated from the rest of the world."

Over here, the tomb owner’s will was gospel!

It was the only thing that mattered!

However, according to the black robed youth, this tomb... if it was described as regular, wouldn’t that mean that someone else had set up the tomb for the tomb owner?

Xu Xiaoxian’s body exploded with light in mid air.

However, she had magical equipment on her desperately trying to suppress the light.

"Damn it, does he want to take us as suns and shoot us down? How lame, we already remember his greatest achievement, does he have to repeat it over and over again?" Xu Xiaoxian kept struggling, activating various magical equipment to resist it.

However, in this world, all her magical equipment were helpless.

"Stop struggling, it is meaningless." The black robed youth sighed.

He had never expected that Yi’s tomb would be an Immortal Yang Immortal Yin Tomb.

If he had known this earlier, he would not even have entered.

At this point, Xu Xiaoxian’s gaze fell to the ground and she saw Chu Yu and Fatty.

However, she could not see the golden armored figure.

"You two jerks, come and save us quickly!" Xu Xiaoxian screamed.

Chu Yu raised his head and his lips twitched, but he did not say anything.

He directed his gaze at the golden armored youth.

The golden armored youth was expressionless as he pulled back on his golden bow and prepared to shoot at Xu Xiaoxian.

At this moment, he suddenly halted and his expressionless face revealed a look of surprise, "Master Yi would like to meet you!"

Then, with a wave of his hand, he released Xu Xiaoxian and the black robed youth.

After Xu Xiaoxian landed, she saw this golden armored youth which immediately piqued her interest,

Then she looked at Chu Yu and Fatty, frowned, but did not say anything.

The black robed youth stared icily at Chu Yu and Fatty, but did not say anything either.

They were both keenly aware that they could not afford to antagonize this golden armored youth!

"Master Yi would like to see you, follow me."

The golden armored youth said.

Limitless - Chapter 146: Immortal Yin Immortal Yang Grave

Xu Xiaoxian was furious, she had known that Chu Yu was not a good guy - he had tried to harm her before.

But she did not expect that Chu Yu was not only bad - he was also a lowly thief!

How did he enter?

Was there an entrance there?

I thought Houyi’s grave... didn’t have an entrance?

Damn it, she had actually believed Fatty’s word. Fatty and Chu Yu had already discussed this beforehand!

But Xu Xiaoxian had really wronged Fatty this time.

Fatty wasn’t lying, Houyi’s grave really didn’t have a so-called entrance.

However, like all the tombs since the ancient times, each one would have a path that was closed last.

This path was not at the Manor, but on the barren hill!

There was only one such path here, and it too was sealed tight!

There was no way of entering or escaping.

However, due to time or the spiritual energy of the Earth, there was a slight change here.

The pathway which was sealed last had a crack.

This crack was thin, and could change at any time.

After Chu Yu barged through, his body had entered another space, ensuring that the black robed youth could not reach him. However, he could still see Fatty and the others.

As such, he used the Voice Transmission Technique and told Fatty how to move.

Any other person may not have coordinated it with Chu Yu so seamlessly, but what did Fatty do for a living?

He dug graves and found weaknesses... this was what he was best at!

As such, under Chu Yu’s direction, Fatty caught up with Chu Yu in an instant, disappearing from the view of those outside.

Xu Xiaoxian was troubled, and she grit her teeth in angst.

She looked at the black robed youth and spat, "so what even if I am your grandmother?"

The black robed youth frowned and looked at Xu Xiaoxian solemnly, "Xu Xiaoxian, are you done causing trouble? Don’t think that you can be so reckless and willful just because you are on good terms with my backer!’

"Hehe, I just love being reckless and willful, what can you do?"

Xu Xiaoxian smiled Emily, still in her disguise as a blonde haired, white skinned lady, "Also, Little Blackie, don’t try to act like some absolute talent here. Let me tell you, I really could not be less bothered with someone like you, if you don’t scram, I will smash you to death with my magical equipment!"

"You..." The black robed youth was furious, unable to form a coherent sentence.

His backer and Xu Xiaoxian’s backer were allies, and he had known this little demonic girl since young.

When they were younger, he was always bullied by her. This little demonic girl n ever cared about that fact that they were on the same side and always harmed him.

However, Xu Xiaoxian’s standing and status was high, so much so that even his backer did not want to antagonize her.

This took a toll on him. Everytime he was bullied, he didn’t report it to his elders for fear of being beaten and scolded for being useless.

Any man who wanted to make something of himself needed to solve his own problems.

As such, he had put in a lot of effort into cultivating and slowly began to catch up.

However, every time they met, he was still getting the short end of the stick.

This little demonic girl was too pampered, the magical equipment she had on her would make anyone jealous.

At the same time, the two of them knew each other very well, else it would have been impossible to recognize her from a single sentence.

"You what? You idiot, don’t you see that they are already inside? Why aren't you finding a way to get in?"

Xu Xiaoxian did not feel any guilt as she raged tat the youth.

The black robed youth took a deep breath as he tried to calm himself down. He looked at Xu Xiaoxian, "My team has been killed by you, how do you expect to get in?"

"Think of a way yourself!’ Xu Xiaoxian raged.

"This is clearly your fault!" The black robed youth was so furious, his veins were bulging.

"See, you are still so immature, what kind of situation is this? You’re still trying to assign blame?" Xu Xiaoxian looked at him exasperatedly and sighed, "When will you grow up?"

"F*ck, I am..." The black robed youth wanted to vomit blood.

"Stop procrastinating, hurry! Any later and the things would be taken by others!’ Xu Xiaoxian raged.

...

Chu Yu brought Fatty along the energy crack, each step calculated and careful.

Just like what Fatty had surmised, this tomb had no entrance.

If not for the fact that the Earth had changed, this crack in the energy would have never appeared noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

However, the crack was also filled with danger, and not every gap could allow two people to pass by.

"Damn, why is this freaking place so terrifying?" Fatty said, terrified as he walked behind Chu Yu.

Even though he was not weak, he was not in the Xiantian Realm. As long as one had not entered Xiantian, one would still be a foundation realm martial artist. It was extremely difficult for someone like him to walk in this place.

All of his techniques and knowledge could not be put to use here.

"Boss, be careful, else we will both be dead." Fatty murmured.

Chu Yu ignored him and continued advancing, bit by bit.

"Boss, who's that girl? She is so scary, and I think we've possibly antagonized her quite abit? Lilitha is still with her, do you think she will..."

"Shut up." Chu Yu finally replied solemnly, "She will definitely follow us in!"

"And then?" Fatty asked, "Do we find an opportunity to take her out?"

"We will find the right opportunity to get out of here first, and then run with Lilitha!" Chu Yu said flatly.

"F*ck me... what kind of plan is this?" Fatty kept rolling his eyes, feeling that this plan was rubbish.

"What else? Do you really think that she is a good person?" As Chu Yu spoke, his arm was suddenly penetrated by a ray of energy.

His arm was already considerably tough, but a small cavity appeared and blood flowed out, staining his shirt.

Hiss!

Chu Yu hissed and pulled Fatty back!

In that instant, a large amount of energy instantly filled up the space where Chu Yu and Fatty were just standing.

That vicious wave of energy could even be felt by Fatty.

Fatty’s expression paled and his eyes filled with fear. He looked at that location, astonished.

Then, he realized that Chu Yu was injured and asked, "Are you injured?"

Chu Yu shook his head and retrieved healing medicine to apply on his arm.

Afterwhich, he opened his vertical eye and continued to look for cracks to accommodate their bodies.

This was a path of no return. They could not turn back the moment they stepped on it.

This was because most of the spaces behind them were already filled to the brim with the terrifying, shredding energy.

But they were lucky, as long as they were patient, they could always find a narrow crack.

Chu Yu was extremely patient and he looked for those cracks meticulously.

Finally, after about five to six hours, he and Fatty entered into another space.

"Who are you and where are you from? How dare you barge into the Mysterious Yin World? Surrender now!"

The moment Chu Yu and Fatty entered the space, they heard a thunderous voice. At the same time, an unparalleled force crashed down on the two of them.

"Damn it..."

Chu Yu pulled Fatty and immediately activated the defenses of his vertical eye. He used the Racing Sacred Art to try to escape.

Yet, it was of no use, the two men were immediately thrown into the air by this terrifying force.

The two of them were separated by the force, and they were suspended in the sky, some distance from each other.

What was more incredulous was that, after they were suspended in the air, their bodies began to radiate with a bright light!

The light got brighter and brighter until finally, they became two bright suns in the air.

Chu Yu and Fatty were both aghast, they did not know what was going on.

Fatty was suspended in mid air, his brows furrowed as if he was deep in thought. Then, he remembered something from his sect’s annals and shouted, "This is bad... this is an... Immortal Yin Grave!"

"What is an Immortal Yin Grave?" Chu Yu asked.

"An Immortal Yin Grave... is when the tomb owner makes his tomb an Immortality Magical Formation using heavenly techniques. This ensures that his consciousness remains inside the tomb."

"Life and death are separated by Yin and Yang, but such a formation can ensure that Yin and Yang are isolated, in fact, it should be known as an Immortal Yang Immortal Yin Tomb! This encapsulates the fact that it is a grey area."

"It is outside of the three realms and five elements..."

"What is it used for?" Chu Yu frowned, he had never heard of this before.

"That’s simple, it is for immortality. This is another way to live forever." Fatty was sullen as he felt the light from his body become brighter. He said, "Here, the tomb owner’s consciousness will never fade and it will live forever in this sealed world. Here, he will reenact... the best scenes from his life."

"The best scenes from his life?" Chu Yu frowned, then his expression changed and he murmured, "Damn it, Houyi is the owner of this tomb, and isn’t his proudest moment the time when he shot down the nine suns? Is that actually true?"

Fatty cried, "Who the f*ck would know? I also thought that it was just a legend! F*ck me, is he really going to shoot us down like suns?"

"..." Chu Yu was speechless, this could be a very possible ending.

Just at this moment, an icy voice echoed throughout the space.

"Demon, You dare to harm the world! Do you know your sins?"

Chu Yu was extremely exasperated and replied, "Are you senior Houyi?"

"Master’s name is not for a slave like you to call!’

A ray of light shot straight at Chu Yu.

This was like a rocket powered arrow, it flew quickly and viciously at Chu Yu’s heart!

Hum!

Chu Yu’s body exploded with a ray of defensive energy.

When this arrow impacted the defensive energy, a large, crushing force nearly suffocated Chu Yu!

Sh*t!

Chu Yu spat out a mouthful of blood, his body clearly injured.

"Ay?" That icy voice revealed traces of surprise as it laughed coldly, "This demon has some skills, take another one!"

Chu Yu nearly crumbled and he shouted, "Stop... stop!"

The defence from his vertical eye could not even block the arrow from his opponent and he was seriously injured. If his opponent fired another arrow, won’t he be half dead?

"I am a friendly, don’t shoot first!’

Chu Yu screamed.

The opponent did not fire again.

Clearly, his opponent was someone with a consciousness.

It could probably be barely considered as a life form.

Shortly after, a figure, enveloped in mist, and holding a golden bow in one hand flew up from the ground and straight at Chu Yu.

Limitless - Chapter 145: So it is you, Demonic Girl

Fatty looked at Xu Xiaoxian’s contented expression dully. For some reason, he really wanted to beat this girl up.

She deserves a beating!

"Why, are you unwilling?" Xu Xiaoxian glanced at Fatty out of the corner of her eye. She laughed coldly, "Fatty, don’t regret this. I don’t accept people willy nilly! Especially those of foreign origins. If not for the fact that she is fiercely loyal towards you and unwilling to betray you even in the face of death, do you think I’ll give you such an offer?"

Chu Yu used the Voice Transmission Technique to tell Fatty, "Agree to it."

Fatty trusted Chu Yu a lot and nodded his agreement without hesitation, "Okay!"

He did not trust this little demonic girl, but he trusts Chu Yu.

Even though Chu Yu was quite an *ss, and they did not meet on good terms, he was someone true to his word and he took care of his own.

Mm, Chu Yu was not a bad person, except for the fact that he liked to make others take the rap for him.

Xu Xiaoxian looked at Fatty. Someone startled by his prompt decision. She nodded contentedly and waved to Lilitha, "Come over here."

Lilitha glanced at Fatty, slightly afraid. Fatty nodded at her, "Rest assured, this lady is good!"

"..." Chu Yu felt that Fatty could lie through his teeth quite well.

This little demonic girl was a good person?

How low are the standards for a good person?

After which, Fatty and Chu Yu were brought to the entrance of the tomb by Xu Xiaoxian.

"This tomb is actually quite difficult to enter. Indeed it is the grave of my ancestor... mm, as his descendant, I don’t have a better method." Xu Xiaoxian mumbled to herself solemnly. Fatty, who was so adept at boasting, was stunned looking at her.

Xu Xiaoxian suddenly turned to Fatty, "Hey, you professional grave robber, you must have an idea. Tell us, how can we gain entry?"

"Ah? Me?"

When the little demonic girl called him, Fatty was not in the least bit excited, in fact, he was fearful.

Why does it seem that this little demonic girl knows everything?

One seemed to be completely transparent in front of her.

"Yes, why? Don’t tell me you don’t know this." Xu Xiaoxian’s mouth twitched, "Time is not on our side, we are not the only ones eyeing this, stop procrastinating, let’s get it then make our ove."

Fatty looked at Chu Yu. Chu Yu returned with a sympathetic gaze, telling him to think of an escape plan quickly.

Fatty sighed, then said, "We have basically confirmed that this grave is Houyi’s..."

"Don’t say the obvious, the key here is how to get in!" Xu Xiaoxian rolled her eyes.

"Don’t interrupt!" Fatty rebutted as he glared at Xu Xiaoxian, "Let me finish!"

"Oh, please continue." Xu Xiaoxian did not seem offended, her expression calm.

Yet, Fatty stammered slightly, feeling that he had overreacted. Yet, he continued to play dumb as he continued to speak.

"According to legends, Houyi had been hurt romantically before..."

Fatty was now in a world which he was extremely familiar with and he rambled on.

Xu Xiaoxian was stunned.

Even Chu Yu wondered if it was possible for Fatty to be even more arrogant than he currently was, and for him to have a bigger head than he currently had.

According to Fatty, Houyi was someone with a flawed character, filled with paranoia.

This could be proven from the fact that he did not bequeath the red bow to someone else, choosing instead to bury it.

It must be said that even though Chu Yu had not heard such an opinion before, it seemed extremely logical."

"After saying so much, what link is there to how we are going to gain entry?" Xu Xiaoxian finally reacted, staring dangerously at Fatty.

"Simple, someone like this would never leave an entrance into his tomb." Fatty said flatly.

"..." Xu Xiaoxian’s mouth twitched, "Mm, I know my ancestor..."

Chu Yu couldn’t stand this any longer, he thought to himself, Miss, you can act a little, but don’t be too absorbed in the show.

Didn’t you hear what Fatty said? Houyi had no descendants!

He was someone who was hurt romantically and never married, how could he have descendants?

Fatty pretended like he did not hear that and continued, "Take this place for example, this looks like the door to the tomb, but in fact... anyone who attempts to enter through here is bound to die!"

"How do you know? According to the Book of Changes, this is the Door of Life!" Xu Xiaoxian rebutted, unsatisfied.

"Then why don’t you enter?" Fatty rebutted.

"I, I am not... Ay? Fatty, you’re getting more audacious eh?" Xu Xiaoxian glared at Fatty dangerously, "You even dare to chide me?"

Fatty grinned and chuckled, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!’

Then he quickly added, "For such a cultivation wonder, he would never arrange his tomb according to the Book of Changes! In fact, the real entrance, should be over there!’

Fatty pointed to a small hill about 50 to 60 miles from the manor.

That hill was barren, even with all the spiritual energy saturating the Earth, not many plants grew on that hill.

It was almost naked, only capped with snow. It looked like an icy rock.

"There?" Xu Xiaoxian looked at Fatty in disbelief, "That kind of place would have an entrance to a tomb? Who are you bluffing?"

At this point, they suddenly saw more than 10 figures appear atop that small hill!

It was almost as if they had appeared out of thin air and fell from the sky!

They appeared very suddenly and quickly surrounded a single spot. They linked their hands and a wave of invisible energy radiated outwards. This energy could be felt many miles away.

Xu Xiaoxian squinted, then as if she saw someone familiar, she immediately disappeared into the manor.

Very quickly, a blonde western chick came out.

Fatty was stunned, "Lilitha... what are you doing here?"

Chu Yu was slightly stunned, but he felt that there was something inherently different. In the next moment, he realized that this Lilitha... should be Xu Xiaoxian.

Indeed, "Lilitha" glanced at Fatty and said flatly, "Don’t talk rubbish."

Fatty immediately shut up.

Even though the voice and tone were the same, he knew that this was not his Lilitha.

He looked at Chu Yu in shock and thought to himself, There’s actually someone else with such a skill?

"Let’s go, we can’t let those people get there first!’ Xu Xiaoxian immediately dashed towards that hill.

Her speed was too fast!

She was a Supreme Realm cultivator, and her abilities were augmented by her countless superior magical equipment.

Not only did this make Xu Xiaoxian a human treasure vault, it also gave her unimaginable power.

For example, her current speed would be unattainable by her peers.

Yet, this was child’s play for her!

What had stunned Fatty and Chu Yu was that this girl did not even greet them before attacking.

Her speed was too fast, and her entrance too sudden!

It was even more sudden than the appearance of that group.

As such, this attack immediately contacted!

Kaboom!

With a thunderous echo, the entire group was sent flying.

They all spat out mouthfuls of blood in mid air, clearly injured.

"Go to hell!"

A thunderous bellow echoed out from afar.

A black figure shot over like a bolt of lightning.

Chu Yu squinted, he looked at the man clad in a black robe and immediately thought of one man... the backer of the Green Lion Lord.

Then he remembered that Xu Xiaoxian had just changed her appearance from a princess in pink to a slender legged foreign beauty.

That definitely meant that she saw someone familiar!

Before Chu Yu could think of anything else, the two of them began fighting.

They traded dozens blows like lightning bolts.

All of a sudden, the black robed youth stopped and looked at Xu Xiaoxian icily, "Who are you? Why do you give me a sense of familiarity?"

"Who are you?" Xu Xiaoxian spoke in extremely fluent english, with an American accent.

The black robed youth’s eyes glowed icily and looked at the two Easterners, Fatty and Chu Yu. He said coldly, "You’re also here for Houyi’s grave?"

Fatty did not say anything, he was of the lowest cultivation level. Even though the black robed youth wasn’t directly suppressing him, he already felt breathless.

Chu Yu had the Tiger Courage Technique to ignore the suppressive powers of powerful cultivators. He said flatly, "I have already claimed this entire mountain, all of you intruders can take your leave. I do not know about any grave."

"Go to hell!’

The black robed youth attacked, slapping Chu Yu.

Even though there was immense distance between the two men, the air in front of Chu Yu immediately formed an arm from energy and slapped Chu Yu’s face.

The opponent’s attack was too fast, even though Chu Yu had the Racing Sacred Art to aid him, he could not avoid the attack completely.

Pa!

The slap impacted Chu Yu’s shoulder.

The sound of one cracking echoed out.

Chu Yu moaned and felt an intense pain at his shoulder plate, the bone was likely fractured.

Only then did the energy from his vertical eye form a shield and envelope Chu Yu.

Clearly, when faced with a vastly superior opponent, even the protective energy from his vertical eye... was helpless!

Unless he could activate it first!

Else, he would still be injured and be in danger of losing his life.

Chu Yu spat out a mouthful of blood. He did not look in the direction of the black robed youth. Instead, he looked in another direction and used the Racing Sacred Art to sprint over there.

In the next moment, Chu Yu’s figure had vanished into thin air.

"Not good!’

The black robed youth bellowed and slapped at the area where Chu Yu had disappeared to.

Sand and rocks were sent flying into the air!

At the same time, a terrifying wave of energy crashed towards the black robed youth.

F*ck!

The black robed youth was almost driven mad as he made a hasty retreat.

However, he was still submerged by this wave of energy. Four stone monuments sprung out from thin air and surrounded him.

The black robed youth spat out yet another mouthful of blood.

At this point, Fatty also disappeared at the same spot after bounding a few steps!

Xu Xiaoxian, who had taken on Lilitha’s appearance was shocked. In a moment of haste, mandarin flew out of her mouth, "You jerks!’

The black robed youth was stunned as he looked suspiciously at Xu Xiaoxian. Then, he grit his teeth, "Xu, you little demon girl... it’s you!’
