BXBX NOVEL Chapter 378 - 239: Endless Battle
“Take note, one needs to stay calm in the face of significant events. Being steady during crucial moments always pays off!”
The fisherman, wearing a broad bamboo hat, clad in a straw raincoat, and holding a purple jade staff, watched the eerie crevice constantly extending towards the high sky, and said with a chuckle.
In his eyes, a resplendent light reflected a magnificent figure resting under the Immortal Bell.
“That foreign monk really knows how to stir things up, causing such a massive mess.”
A scholar, wearing flowing white robes, was also taking shelter with the fisherman under an archway, and they looked just like two random passersby.
Although their attire seemed quite out of place in this area, there were plenty of strangely attired Taoists and monks in the sky, making them quite inconspicuous on the ground.
“Young people are naturally hot-headed, a bit of impulsiveness is nothing out of the ordinary, but what’s going on with those old elders? What were they doing in there? Even the old City God of Fengtian didn’t take any action.”
While speaking, the fisherman glanced in the direction of Fengtian City, where the divine figure of the City God stood tall between the earth and the sky, being the most noticeable existence in thousands of miles.
But that was all – noticeable. After that City God materialized, he practically did nothing, merely blocking the mortals’ view and awareness of this area.
“Luckily, he didn’t show any intentions of stepping in, otherwise it would be a huge catastrophe!”
“Knowing well that the person has an extraordinary origin, why on earth would they dare to start a fight?”
The scholar in white looked up at the sky, ever since the foreign monk rushed into that unknown space, that terrifying giant also disappeared along with him. He wondered what situation they had turned into. He really wanted to see.
“Extraordinary people, doing extraordinary things, naturally for extraordinary reasons. These old elders always have the mistaken wish to guide others in the same path they have chosen, why bother indeed!”
The fisherman looked toward the celestial vault, as a bystander to the entire event. He did not see anything wrong with Young Master Feng’s action.
Isn’t he just a reincarnated Heavenly being with a few protective divine weapons and spirit beasts to safeguard his life – the true-est of normal circumstances.
Using secret skills to borrow the power of protector spirit beasts, what’s there to determine in their haste to brand him as a demon? After the secret techniques were dispelled, wouldn’t he return to his original pure spirit, full of immortal energy? How isn’t that normal?
As for the second Young Master Feng, he’d interacted with him before, and knew him to not to be a short-sighted person. If he truly coveted the benefits of the demon’s path, he wouldn’t seek the Taoist scriptures.
Everyone was scared off by them. At this point, whatever anyone says is pointless.”
The scholar in white chuckled, the shock that had occurred right before their eyes failed to disturb their hearts, and they had no intention of stepping into the arena to intervene.
They descended the mountain on their Order’s command, but did not intend to participate in greater conflicts. With only the reincarnated Immortal Monarch left, why wouldn’t they, these common beings, seek a peaceful place and immerse themselves in cultivation? Why complicate their own lives?
“This is also fine, no one gets hold of it, no one needs to fight, coexisting peacefully, living their own lives.”
The fisherman chuckled, for laid back and less-desire cultivators like them, the more peaceful the world, the fewer events happened, the better; they could live comfortably and avoid trouble.
Situations like this happening before their eyes were what they detested. In such a quiet place, they could just fish steadily without getting involved with anyone. Yet the aftermath of the battle was sweeping across the sky, disrupting their peace and fishing.
Ding~
The third bell rung, from previous lessons learned, the Taoists and Monks in Longyin Academy and nearby, kept a safer distance from the eerie crevice. Some, not concerning themselves with dignity anymore, escaped then and there.
The Immortal way respects life, the vast majority of cultivators do not cultivate for the sake of seeking the way, but for longevity. The catastrophic event was right before their eyes. The wise choice was to avoid it as much as possible. To stay at the original location, entrusting their lives to the terrifying figure behind the eerie crevice, it would not be a wise choice.
However, at this bell ring, there was no earthshaking power, only a dazzling, Feather-like Celestial Phoenix flew out from the eerie crevice. Orderly divine chains were hanging from its body, creating a highway between the nether and the mortal world.
The wind blew, the Celestial Phoenix’s feathers skimmed the sky, it fell above the crowd on top of Black Mountain. Those divine chains also stretched the road connecting the mortal world and the nether right before them.
Seeing all these happen, the cultivators had already realized that the sudden emergence, the breaking of the seal, and the figure that caused the eerie crevice to appear at this moment, must have some connections to the second Young Master Feng. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have made a move at this moment to protect the spirit beasts.
“What are you waiting for?”
A cold and indifferent voice echoed from the nether crevice, making everyone shudder involuntarily.
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Black Mountain found its backbone. Its fierce countenance, ready to fight the strong enemy to death, instantly changed. Its huge head lifted high, took an overlook of the crowd, scornfully glanced at those dignified Taoists and Monks from the Buddhist Gate, who were standing far in the sky.
Then, without any hesitation, it took the lead to rush towards the eerie crevice. With Black Mountain leading, even if Bai Yao had doubts, she had no choice but to keep up due to the urgency of the situation.
Sen Miao glanced at the Celestial Phoenix above its head, following Black Mountain, it almost collided with it into the eerie crevice together. Although it did not like the energy there, it was the best course of action given the urgency of the situation.
