Ye Tiancheng's voice and anger made him seem inexperienced. If he were truly powerful, he wouldn't have acted this way; he would have immediately located his opponent.
His mood was truly terrible, and he didn't know what he was doing, inadvertently revealing his inner state…
"When I don't move, I don't move at all. When I do move, I move with immense power. That is me," Ye Tiancheng said, somewhat displeased, his mood becoming more suppressed than before.
"It seems now that I have no choice but to honestly follow my origin and pursue my dream!" the divine stone felt Ye Tiancheng lacked just a tiny bit of courage.
Seeing Ye Tiancheng's temper, the man couldn't help but want to laugh.
That demeanor showed he didn't put others in his eyes at all.
Perhaps it was for this reason that the guy thought Du Fu was an idiot.
"Kid, I'll send you to see the King of Hell!"
"Really?"
"Of course." The guy no longer concealed himself and flew in front of Ye Tiancheng. Seeing Ye Tiancheng, he felt like complaining a little. Ye Tiancheng hadn't even noticed him lurking in the bushes a hundred meters away.
"As expected, you are someone whose cultivation is deeper than mine."
"Isn't that obvious?" The guy suddenly appeared before Ye Tiancheng, holding a very long great saber. The saber light flashed, presenting itself before him like startling thunder…
"So powerful!"
"Naturally, it's powerful."
The guy appeared before her, looking very self-important, completely disregarding Ye Tiancheng. He believed that since Ye Tiancheng hadn't even detected his presence, he couldn't do anything to him. Therefore, he didn't take him seriously at all. Seeing the guy like this, Ye Tiancheng had nothing to say. After all, powerful people were powerful people.
He felt this aura was enough to overwhelm the other party, so he didn't take him seriously at all. This made Ye Tiancheng really want to defeat him. Suddenly, his hand flashed. An immensely powerful aura surged out, making the other party realize that although he couldn't detect his power, his formidable aura was enough to conceal everything.
"Truly an awe-inspiring existence. Who are you trying to scare with that? I'm not afraid of you." To him, this was meaningless. Only by completely eliminating the opponent would all meaning be revealed.
This was because he possessed two powers: the Great Green Serpent and the divine stone's power.
Therefore, although he couldn't detect the other party's aura, as long as his aura was released, it was enough to be terrifying.
The guy finally felt what it was like to be strong, what it was like to face the power of death. In this instant, the power that erupted from him made everyone feel an irresistible force.
"It seems you are determined to defeat me, but it's impossible for you to defeat me." After saying this, red energy flashed from the guy's body.
It reflected back the aura contained within Ye Tiancheng. Ye Tiancheng couldn't help but shiver. He hadn't expected that he was completely no match for the other party.
"Truly sorrowful, truly sorrowful."
"Yes, very sorrowful, very sorrowful." In the face of this, he was fearless.
"The two powers collided, erupting with immense devouring power. The black vortex was formed by the collision of the two powers. These two colliding powers left the opponent with no way to defend themselves.
"Good heavens, you're so formidable. You thought that since I couldn't detect your presence, I couldn't fight you, but the truth has refreshed my worldview." The black figure wielding the long saber released his aura.
It instilled a sense of disappointment and awe.
"Perhaps the power you've never felt before is the true power." He was deeply shaken by this power and couldn't push it away. Thus, they could only entangle each other. Because of that, it was impossible to disengage from the other's power, as if he had completely concealed this power within himself. Their combat strength could only be a draw. Possessing the augmentation of the Great Green Serpent and the divine stone, yet still unable to defeat the opponent, he found it unacceptable. This reality made him feel infinitely tragic.
"You're only fighting me to a draw now. Don't get arrogant, or you won't be able to defeat me." After saying this, a strange smile flickered across his face.
"There's no other way, so I'll try a bit of this power." After saying this, Ye Tiancheng felt a sense of insurmountable power, as if he had seen a ghost.
That was the power of the Fuxi Qin fragment. The opponent never dreamed that in addition to his two powers, he also had a bit of supporting power. This final power was the last straw that broke the camel's back. The opponent never expected it, truly never expected it…
With such formidable power, the opponent had no way to cope. Thinking of himself as an incredibly awesome existence, yet being forced into a position where he couldn't retaliate, he was certainly unwilling to give up and wanted to resist with all his might. But the result was very disappointing; he couldn't do it at all, completely crushed by Ye Tiancheng.
"Rumble!" As Ye Tiancheng unleashed his final power attack, the exploding fragments completely suppressed the opponent. The opponent never dreamed that Ye Tiancheng was so powerful. The moment he was sent flying, he spat blood, falling completely into the dust. He forcefully propped up half his body, his eyes staring at Ye Tiancheng like dead fish.
He stammered out a few words: "Kid, how are you so strong? The power you possess is too bizarre. Are you a ghost?"
"I regret to inform you that I am not a ghost, but I will absolutely eliminate you. Do you know why?" As Ye Tiancheng spoke, he asked bitterly, "What is the reason for this? Can you tell me?"
"Of course, I won't tell you," Ye Tiancheng said to him word by word. Clearly, no one was willing to accept such words, because no one was prepared to accept them. As time passed, everything would soon disappear, and the contours of destiny would gradually reveal the posture of a heaven-blessed prodigy.
His destiny was about to be written into a new page of history, meaning he would definitely be incredibly powerful, the kind of person who would kill gods and buddhas if they obstructed him. Anyone who dared to interfere with his plans and progress would face certain death.
On this point, Ye Tiancheng had no doubt about his abilities or decisions, because he was that kind of person. If he weren't, he would be easy to deal with, but because he was that kind of person, he became very difficult to deal with. There was no way, no opportunity, so there was really nothing he could do about his current situation. As time slowly slipped away, he finally saw clearly what kind of person Ye Tiancheng was before him.
The opponent had no idea how to deal with this ability. Perhaps he felt he was doomed to die. Perhaps he truly didn't understand. Whether he understood or not, what he wanted to do, he would definitely do. He walked over to deliver the final fatal blow to the guy, ending his life. Ye Tiancheng knew that one could not show mercy to enemies.
Otherwise, he himself would be the one doomed. Therefore, he understood very well that living carefree was the best state. As long as a person lived true to themselves, owing others meant taking losses. Although many people thought this way, they wouldn't be as decisive as him.
Perhaps if people knew his true self, they would endlessly criticize him, but he had accepted this fate. To enjoy something, one had to pay a price. What he knew very well was that because he knew, he accepted it all calmly. No matter what happened in the future, he wouldn't care.
Because he didn't care, he wouldn't mind whatever happened. For "he who kills shall be killed," if he ever met such a fate, he wouldn't beg for forgiveness. This path was his own. Therefore, when he reached that destructive state, he wouldn't cry and wail like others, but would calmly accept death.
This way of thinking was actually unreasonable, because those favored by heaven could do whatever they wanted, as heaven was supporting them. They could act recklessly. This was because only a few people would be favored by heaven; most people were merely serving those few. Although most people wanted to be among those few, the threshold was too high, and entering high society was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
This could be described as harder than climbing to the heavens.
"I really didn't expect it to turn out this way. It's truly terrifying. However, you should maintain a calm demeanor, and all this will pass with the wind." The guy spoke very calmly, as if none of this had happened. This guy's taste was truly annoying, but annoying was also fine.
"Your words have truly disappointed me, but I must say, I still hold hope for myself, even though the hope seems very slim," said Ye Tiancheng to the Great Green Serpent. Hearing his words, Da Qing felt he was too dejected and should cheer up. Sometimes, being too talkative felt bland, like seeing only flat plains without mountains or rivers. Seeing such scenery often made one feel nauseous; one longed for something exciting, because it was through excitement that one could find the passion for life.
"Very sad, very sad. Haven't you ever thought that sometimes being dejected is also a good choice? You always want to do strange things, to transcend the mortal world?" He truly felt Ye Tiancheng was lost in his thoughts, always wanting to do things others disliked. Perhaps he thought it was right, but it was fundamentally wrong.
"I never thought the guy would have such an idea." It was probably because of such heavy thoughts that everyone's mood was burdened, preventing progress, which would lead to a dejected heart. Every dejected heart resolved the most silent terror of others.
"Alright then, let's go to the back mountain to chop wood, build my thatched hut, and live comfortably. During this time, I need to cultivate, otherwise, I'll become someone's meal. I don't want to die so soon. Living allows me to see the sun tomorrow, because only under the sun can one enjoy what life is."
His choice was to marry many wives and earn a lot of money. He didn't want to get involved in other matters, but once you're in the martial world, you can't control yourself. Even if you don't want to participate, you have to. Pressing matters must be resolved no matter what. People have a lazy thought, which is to gain without working and get rich overnight. Although Ye Tiancheng had such a powerful cheat, he still wanted to gain without working and sit on a mountain of gold without doing anything. How could that be possible?
Even if heaven favors you, you can't be decadent and possess mountains of gold and silver; you still need your own diligent hands to create it. Otherwise, you can't achieve the life you desire. Understanding this, Ye Tiancheng went to the back mountain and chopped down a large number of trees in one go.
Then he used that large cauldron for refining, quickly turning the trees into dry wood. Dry wood was essential for building other structures.
If these trees were not dry, it would surely affect the quality of the house. He was very clear about this but had no way to change it.
After all, many things seemed very difficult for him to endure.
"Actually, many people understand that doing anything is very terrifying." Hearing the guy's words, he couldn't help but laugh. He shouldn't have mocked him like this, but it still came out. What was this? It was simply an insult. He felt these people were unforgivable and that he should confront them.
"What are you laughing at? If you laugh again, I'll pull out all your teeth, so you won't be able to laugh at me with your mouths." Ye Tiancheng was very dissatisfied with the divine stone and the Great Green Serpent. After all, they were the divine stone and the Great Green Serpent, with extraordinary abilities, yet they were almost killed by a stranger. No matter what, he had to settle the score with them today. These two guys might have been caught in the crossfire. If Ye Tiancheng could cultivate a bit more, they would also upgrade. As long as they upgraded, they would be able to defeat the opponent.
Unexpectedly, many things turned out this way, and doubtful things became like that, without a single…
"It's useless to say so much now. You don't seem to need anything useful. After all, cultivation is something that accumulates step by step. Everyone wants to get fat with one bite, but that's impossible. You must accept this reality." These words were clearly telling Ye Tiancheng the truth, but he was fundamentally unwilling to accept such truth because truth was too hurtful. He would rather hear some false praise for himself and gain a little self-esteem.
Perhaps this self-esteem would come at a great cost, but he no longer cared. Once a person was like that, they naturally wouldn't care about what would happen to them. If he continued like this, regardless of how much success or failure he achieved, he wouldn't care.
"It doesn't matter if I gain or lose. Is it the same for losing? You scoundrel, if you think like that, you've completely disappointed my expectations. I expected you to soar to the highest heavens and contend with the Jade Emperor. That old geezer should have been brought down long ago."
This was because the divine stone was very dissatisfied with the gang of people from Hengda, believing that by eliminating them, they could change the world, change the world of the divine comrades. But he was thinking too perfectly. If it were them in charge, it would be the same. Whoever was in charge would be the same. So, it was better to accept the current world and not exert so much effort, possibly risking their lives. Who would be foolish enough to do such a thing?
One of the reasons Ye Tiancheng hated cultivation was that in the end, one had to go to the Heavenly Court to contend with the Jade Emperor. As Ye Tiancheng's cultivation grew stronger, he would naturally become incredibly powerful.
Eventually, the divine stone would also become very powerful. Therefore, he simply didn't know how to deal with this guy.
"I can't believe your past pride has turned into this. Your body was pressed into that muddy ground for so many years, and you still haven't been able to change yourself." At this moment, the Great Green Serpent didn't forget to mock the divine stone. He really thought the Great Green Serpent was detestable. He didn't know the principle of not insulting people? Because saying the wrong thing would be very hurtful. Everyone liked to hear good words and certainly disliked being cursed.
"As a person, becoming a god is merely a change in one's power. How can those seven emotions and six desires be easily severed? To say that immortals can sever their seven emotions and six desires is nonsense, because the world of immortals is just as dirty as the human world. Immortals are transformed from humans, and immortals can also transform into humans. Therefore, it is merely a change in power, but their essence is fundamentally the same, with no difference. Don't view immortals as being high and mighty, devoid of emotions and desires."
Ye Tiancheng was very dissatisfied with the two of them, feeling they should cooperate instead of arguing. If they continued to argue, it would be of no significance to him.
"Such meaningless words and actions seemed very boring to him." Everyone should follow their inner thoughts and their truest loyalty. In such a situation, one should bear what one must, and it's impossible to take advantage of others without giving anything in return. This seemed fundamentally impossible.
"There is no one who is good to you for no reason, nor is there anyone who is bad to you for no reason. As the saying goes, 'He who eats from another's mouth is short of breath, and he who takes from another's hand.' When you receive help from others, you should at least reciprocate and respond." Saying this, he felt a blockage in his heart.
"It's good that you understand this. We all help each other to succeed. I can help you succeed, and you must help me succeed. I hate that Jade Emperor. In the end, even if I can't bring him down, I have to teach him a lesson. I simply can't stand his arrogant demeanor."
