Free Web NovelChapter 528: Chapter 528: Netherworld Life and Death Path
The Sumeru Mountain region was an ancient land. Though it possessed an ancient Teleportation Array, activating it to teleport was impossible without the corresponding bloodline.
Ye Tianling was proficient in Primordial Runes. With Ancient Fairy’s bloodline to unlock the Ancient Array, he activated the Teleportation Array with ease.
After arriving in the Sumeru Mountain region, the place was even more desolate and bleak than he had imagined.
Furthermore, the turbulent aura permeating Heaven and Earth was extremely intense.
After Ye Tianling appeared within the Ancient Array, the surrounding light dimmed. In the distance, the world was utterly silent.
BOOM—
Suddenly, in a more distant region under a gray Celestial Curtain, a terrifying, tidal wave-like aura unfurled across the horizon, and the entire world began to tremble violently.
Ye Tianling swayed and nearly lost his footing.
Although Ancient Fairy had been on guard, she fared little better.
Ancient Fairy’s lovely face immediately paled. Peerless beings were fighting—it seemed the Sumeru Mountain region was far from peaceful.
"Let’s go! We need to leave, now!"
Ye Tianling took a deep breath, his expression exceptionally grave.
At this moment, although his Life Force had grown to the equivalent of six months, he couldn’t use his Demon Heart Sword Body. He couldn’t possibly interfere in a battle of this level.
The last leg of a journey is the hardest. Now that they were about to step into the true Sumeru Mountain, this would be the most dangerous time.
"Yes, Master. I can sense a faint summoning aura from the Sumeru Mountain region. It’s coming from the east. We should fly east."
Ancient Fairy hesitated slightly, then carefully used her Soul Power for Sensing. After a good while, she opened her eyes, her gaze filled with absolute certainty.
"Okay."
Ye Tianling nodded. The area where the battle was taking place was to the southwest. Two Saint Level beings were at war there.
Their earth-shattering battle tore the world asunder, making the ground rumble and dimming the sun and moon.
Even from a great distance, Ye Tianling could feel an ocean of Energy raging in all directions.
This left both Ye Tianling and Ancient Fairy deeply shaken.
Ancient Fairy looked back, her eyes showing extreme shock. "The sky has turned dark, with countless black suns... They’re actually black suns! This is light so extreme it has become darkness! This is..."
Ancient Fairy murmured, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.
BOOM—
Suddenly, all the black suns exploded, transforming into Energy Particles like Particle Origins, expanding and changing violently.
"Particle Origin?... This is the Netherworld Life and Death Path! It’s Sumeru Mountain’s unique Netherworld Life and Death inheritance... the core bloodline inheritance of the Jade Fox Race!"
At that moment, Ancient Fairy was stunned. Then, the calling in her heart grew exceptionally strong! Not only that, but she finally gained a deeper understanding of the path she had created herself. She finally realized it wasn’t some special insight born on a whim, but the inheritance deep within her bloodline, awakening bit by bit.
"Master, I’ve thought of a brand-new path."
Ancient Fairy came back to her senses and immediately spoke with excitement.
A thoughtful look appeared in Ye Tianling’s eyes; he had taken in every bit of Ancient Fairy’s emotional shift.
Ancient Fairy was a very calm young woman, but for her to be this excited, this overcome with emotion, was enough to show that something extraordinary had happened to her.
"Particle Origin, is that the inherited Talent of your Jade Fox Race? But why can I cultivate it too?"
Ye Tianling asked thoughtfully.
While speaking, he carried Ancient Fairy and used Sky Control to fly away, steering clear of the battle’s terrifying scope to avoid any unwanted incidents.
This land was too desolate, too ancient. Likewise, the aura of Destruction was too heavy.
Ye Tianling did not fear death, but he didn’t want anything to happen to Ancient Fairy at such a critical moment, now that they had reached the Sumeru Mountain region. So, for now, he properly concealed his aura and characteristics to avoid attracting unnecessary slaughter.
"This is the Netherworld Life and Death Path. It is a path of the void and the real, containing the four Profound Meanings: Netherworld, Illusion Destruction, Charm, and True Void."
Ancient Fairy immediately explained.
Ye Tianling nodded. "You should just cultivate it yourself. You don’t need to teach it to me."
Ancient Fairy immediately protested, "Master, this Cultivation Technique has extremely mysterious Abilities. Whether it’s Netherworld Illusion Destruction or Charm True Void, they are all very practical, especially for you... Master, please don’t refuse. Otherwise, how can Fairy’s heart be at ease?"
Ye Tianling said, "Although I can cultivate your inheritance, I’m not a member of Sumeru Mountain’s Jade Fox Race. It will inevitably put you in a difficult position."
Ancient Fairy shook her head. "In Fairy’s heart, Master comes first, then Sumeru Mountain. Master, since when have you become so conflicted? Fairy knows you’re afraid of putting me in a difficult position, but if you can’t obtain a better Cultivation Method, wouldn’t that make Fairy even more uneasy?"
Ancient Fairy’s gentle words filled Ye Tianling’s heart with exceptional warmth.
In fact, the moment he saw those black suns explode, Ye Tianling knew that this was a powerful Cultivation Technique far beyond his imagination!
He had already formed an opinion on this Cultivation Technique, but it paled in comparison to the power on display now—there was a world of difference.
"Alright, then I’ll cultivate it."
Ye Tianling gave Ancient Fairy a deep look.
A shy expression appeared on Ancient Fairy’s face, and she hugged Ye Tianling’s arm even tighter. This made Ye Tianling even more aware of her two uniquely proud charms.
"The Netherworld Life and Death Path, besides the high-frequency oscillating changes in Soul Qi, and besides the changes in the Particle Origin that you comprehended, Master, its greatest distinction is life and death. What is life, and what is death? Within the particles, there is a very vivid interpretation... It’s like gas condensing into a liquid, the liquid solidifying into a solid, and the solid diffusing directly back into a gas... This is a kind of qualitative sublimation..."
Ancient Fairy began to impart the Dao.
She held nothing back, even wishing she could teach Ye Tianling everything she knew—if only to help him in the slightest!
Under these circumstances, she was exceptionally earnest. With every explanation, whether or not she could convey its true essence, her repetitive and almost long-winded descriptions still moved Ye Tianling deeply.
’With a disciple like this, what more could one ask for?’
Ye Tianling listened attentively, even though he almost instantly understood everything Ancient Fairy said each time.
"Master, do you understand?"
"I really do. How about I explain it to you instead?"
"You really do! Master, you’re so smart, you got it so quickly. It took Fairy a lot of effort to figure it out!"
"Yes, I understood that quickly. What’s to be done? Your Master is in despair!"
