Chapter 1045 The Plan
"But for some reason, he suddenly changed his mind later and left everything to you."
"This is why I went to Qingzhou last time. I knew about your incident in Snow Forest."
"Everything Qin Yi left behind is now in your hands, but you don't know how to unlock many of them, so you don't know the message he left."
Chen Yang's brow immediately furrowed.
Senior Qin Yi didn't leave much behind, but as Saint Moon Divine Venerable said, there were many things Chen Yang still hadn't figured out.
For example, the bronze coin, why could it transform…
"Who are the 'they' you're talking about?"
As Chen Yang spoke, Saint Moon Divine Venerable knew that Chen Yang had taken the bait.
At least for now, Chen Yang wouldn't be a threat to his life.
"A group of powerful warriors… No, their accurate name should be cultivators."
"When a martial artist reaches the mortal cultivation level and continues to advance, they can become a Human Immortal."
"The power of a Human Immortal is beyond your comprehension."
"Even in this ancient battlefield, the largest demonic beast is merely at the Foundation Establishment stage."
"Foundation Establishment True Lords, Valley Transformation Venerables, and so on, the strongest among them can stir heaven and earth with one hand, and churning clouds and rain is as easy as a flick of their wrist."
"They are such powerful beings!"
With Saint Moon Divine Venerable's explanation, Chen Yang roughly understood.
It was a higher level world.
Before the spatial rift was severed, the two worlds should have been able to communicate.
Although the reason for the severance was unknown, Senior Qin Yi had always wanted to return to that world.
Chen Yang did recall the scenes he saw in the Snow Forest space at that time.
Senior Qin Yi had indeed said something similar.
"Then what is this ancient battlefield? And why did you come to the Sword Sect ruins?"
Faced with Chen Yang's interrogation, Saint Moon Divine Venerable was forced to say, "Before Qin Yi awoke, this area had already become an ancient battlefield."
"I don't know much about what happened before that, but I do know some things about the Sword Sect. Qin Yi had previously investigated the origins of this world and the Sword Sect."
"After the Sword Sect's founding ancestor obtained the spatial rift, he wanted to use the vast spiritual energy here to enhance the sect's strength, and even establish the sect directly on this ancient battlefield."
"I must say, the founder of the Sword Sect was indeed a formidable figure. He not only slew all the bloodthirsty monsters above the mortal cultivation level in the surrounding area, but he also ventured into higher realms. However, after he left, the Sword Sect not only failed to hold onto this place but was driven out by monsters."
"Within the Sword Sect's legacy, there is information left by its founder. It is possible that he has already left this world."
"However, Qin Yi was severely injured later and couldn't deal with the monsters here… So I thought about looking for the legacy."
After Saint Moon Divine Venerable finished speaking, Chen Yang's eyes were filled with distrust.
Chen Yang could feel that Saint Moon Divine Venerable's words were a mixture of truth and falsehood.
It was a mix of truth and lies, making it difficult to discern what was real and what was fake.
However, it was generally as Saint Moon Divine Venerable had described.
"So you killed Senior Qin Yi, who awakened you?"
As Chen Yang spoke, Saint Moon Divine Venerable's features contorted.
Saint Moon Divine Venerable said indignantly, "Do you know what Qin Yi did? In his eyes, he was merely awakening us, but what kind of world was it after awakening?"
"Mortal Cultivation! It's a ridiculously laughable realm!"
"It's hell!"
"Killing him was letting him off easy!"
Saint Moon Divine Venerable's voice boomed, shaking the heavens.
In Saint Moon Divine Venerable's view, his being trapped in the mortal cultivation realm was entirely Qin Yi's fault.
If not for Qin Yi, he would not have experienced all this suffering.
Just then, Chen Shu suddenly appeared before Saint Moon Divine Venerable, his eyes wide, and he roared, "You're spouting nonsense!"
"Do you think your seal could last forever?"
"If Qin Yi hadn't guided your awakening, all of you would have died due to the seal!"
"The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is depleted, and the seal is your prison!"
Chen Shu's sudden outburst stunned both Saint Moon Divine Venerable and Chen Yang.
Chen Yang was confused about how Chen Shu knew about this.
Sensing Chen Yang's confused gaze, Chen Shu didn't explain but transmitted his voice to Chen Yang, "I'll explain when I have time."
Meanwhile, Saint Moon Divine Venerable burst into laughter, "I knew it, your intelligence had long since awakened, and you were always by Qin Yi's side. How could you not know your old man's plan?"
"Is that what he told you? Depleted spiritual energy?"
"This is all just his conjecture!"
After Saint Moon Divine Venerable cleared himself of the death energy, he suddenly transformed into a lightning bolt and shot through the residual death energy. In the next moment, he entered the thunderclouds in the sky.
Only a resentful voice remained, "Chen Yang, I will repay this humiliation tenfold someday!
Lightning Art Evasion!
As Chen Yang sensed Saint Moon Divine Venerable using his evasion technique, his gaze immediately shifted to Shi Tianning in the distance.
He suddenly realized that Shi Tianning had also disappeared at some point.
Chen Shu's face turned pale with shock, "Aren't we going to chase him?"
Hearing this, Chen Yang shook his head helplessly. He slowly dispersed the death energy within him and said, "We can't catch up. Saint Moon Divine Venerable's lightning art has reached a state of perfection."
"Besides, my death energy comes from the ancient battlefield. Once I leave this area or the ancient battlefield, the death energy might not be able to suppress that fellow…"
"Pfft!"
As Chen Yang spoke, his blood surged, and he spat out a mouthful of essence blood.
"Chen Yang!"
Chen Shu cupped Chen Yang in his hands, looking at Chen Yang's pale face, and asked nervously, "What's wrong?"
As he spoke, Chen Shu hurriedly channeled the blood energy power from the origin of the bronze tree into Chen Yang.
Sustained by the blood energy, Chen Yang slowly opened his eyes, revealing a bitter smile, "If you weren't here today, I'm afraid I would have barely escaped this calamity."
"One really shouldn't mess with death energy!"
Although Chen Yang could control the death energy earlier, his own body was also suffering from the erosion of death energy.
Before taking the pill, Chen Yang could still resist it to some extent with the Heavenly Physician's Art and his powerful physique.
But after taking the pill, the unleashed death energy not only suppressed Saint Moon Divine Venerable but also entered his body.
Just now, when Saint Moon Divine Venerable escaped, one of the reasons Chen Yang didn't pursue immediately was that he sensed the abnormality within his body.
