Chapter 1922: Chapter 1941: Too Young
Swish!
Ye Xuan plummeted to the ground like a falling star, silently appearing in a secluded valley. With a flick of his sleeve, ’Yuan’ was tossed onto the ground, remaining dazed for half a day.
"What are you planning to do?"
’Yuan’ suddenly awoke, unleashing the Heavenly Pool Power around him, furrowing his brows as he looked at Ye Xuan, with a trace of apprehension flickering in his eyes.
Although ’Yuan’ was extremely arrogant and exceedingly self-conceited, he was acutely aware of the gap between himself and Ye Xuan.
The two had recently fought to a draw in their same-level battle, but the true level of cultivation was evident. If Ye Xuan wished, he could easily kill him.
’Yuan’ feared the possibility that Ye Xuan would eliminate him; not because he was afraid of death, but rather he didn’t want to die so humiliatingly.
His future looked expansive, and he had yet to perform the Nine Transformations Shocking Heaven. If he died now, he would surely die with regrets.
"He He."
Ye Xuan chuckled, though his laugh was somewhat insincere, gazing at ’Yuan’ as if he were looking at an unparalleled treasure.
"Brother."
Ye Xuan leaned forward, patting ’Yuan’s’ shoulder in an overly friendly manner, as if they were longtime friends.
Faced with Ye Xuan’s sudden change of demeanor, ’Yuan’ was momentarily breathless, unable to comprehend why Ye Xuan suddenly seemed so close.
"Huang, what are you up to?"
’Yuan’s’ heart raced uncontrollably, an intense foreboding arising within him, so strong that it made him tremble with fear.
Had Huang been present, he would have noticed how insidious Ye Xuan’s smile appeared, and whenever Ye Xuan displayed such a smile, it surely spelled trouble for someone, without any exception.
Regrettably, ’Yuan’ didn’t understand Ye Xuan’s character; he just felt something was very wrong with Ye Xuan, though he couldn’t pinpoint what.
Previously, Ye Xuan had been dominant, crushing ’Yuan’s’ pride, an experience ’Yuan’ had already endured.
But Ye Xuan’s sudden kindness made ’Yuan’ aware that something profound was at play.
"Good brother, truly we are not enemies. With your unparalleled genius, it is inevitable that you will surpass me. In truth, I greatly admire you."
Ye Xuan warmly brought ’Yuan’ to his feet, kindly tidying his disheveled clothing, exuding the care of a friendly elder brother.
The kinder Ye Xuan acted, the more ’Yuan’ felt a chill creeping up his spine, causing it to tingle faintly, his mind trembling to the extreme.
If Ye Xuan had been openly aggressive, ’Yuan’ might not have been afraid, but Ye Xuan’s overly amicable attitude made him unable to fathom Ye Xuan’s intentions.
"Huang, you are the greatest primordial force; no need to treat me this way; just speak directly."
’Yuan’ retreated three steps, maintaining a safe distance from Ye Xuan, his face cautious as he observed Ye Xuan.
Of course, what ’Yuan’ considered a safe distance was just his belief; if Ye Xuan truly intended harm, he wouldn’t be able to resist.
"He He."
Ye Xuan smiled deceptively, approaching ’Yuan’ again, casually draping an arm around his shoulder, saying, "Good brother, we are not enemies. If I wanted you dead, would you still be alive now?"
"This...?"
’Yuan’ remained very young, not yet the formidable figure of later years. By age, he was still in his youth.
Ye Xuan was an ancient figure, having lived countless ages, facing myriad enemies, engaging in endless deceit and manipulation. Just a few words were enough to make ’Yuan’ inadvertently lower his guard.
So, despite ’Yuan’s’ unparalleled talent, he was simply too naive when facing a seasoned fox like Ye Xuan.
"Brother Huang, since you do not wish to kill me, why did you bring me here?"
’Yuan’ furrowed his brows, adding the word ’Brother’ in his address to Ye Xuan, with his previous hostility subtly fading.
"Brother, I actually greatly appreciate geniuses, and undoubtedly, you are the greatest genius in all time, merely your creation of the Nine Tribulations Sky Pool Technique is unparalleled through history."
Ye Xuan sang praises, showering admiration lavishly, displaying extreme respect.
Receiving Ye Xuan’s praise, ’Yuan’ smiled confidently, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.
If someone else had praised him, ’Yuan’ wouldn’t care, wouldn’t even acknowledge it.
But humans are peculiar; when praised by someone extremely powerful, even if they know it’s flattery, they willingly accept and feel a sense of pride.
At this moment, ’Yuan’ was in such a state.
Who is ’Huang’?
He is the strongest primordial force.
Respected by all creatures as the most powerful entity of the Eternal Universe.
Though confident he could surpass ’Huang’, the gap between their power was immense.
Receiving ’Huang’s’ praise and respect deeply satisfied ’Yuan’, making him feel on top of the world.
"Brother Huang, you flatter me; the Desolate Heaven Technique is also an ancient Divine Skill. I have always deeply admired you, Brother Huang."
Unspeakable.
Everyone is somewhat insincere.
’Yuan’ was no exception; receiving Ye Xuan’s flattery, ’Yuan’ showcased humility.
"Hahaha."
Ye Xuan laughed heartily, his eyes flickered as he said, "Although your Nine Tribulations Sky Pool Technique is not perfected, it’s indeed superior to my Desolate Heaven Technique. Someday, once you complete the Nine Transformations Shocking Heaven, you will surely become the most formidable being in all time."
What defines shamelessness?
While Ye Xuan didn’t embody these four words yet, such flattering words certainly made him blush.
Fortunately, only the two were present, so no one else witnessed this scene.
"Brother, you flatter me; I am unworthy.""
’Yuan’ elegantly bowed in respect, changing his form of address again, gradually altering his impression of Ye Xuan.
Too young!
This fool is just too young.
Ye Xuan smiled, yet internally laughed scornfully, feeling almost guilty for deceiving someone untouched by worldly cunning.
"Alas, brother, I know that only you can break this Reincarnation and Destruction ordeal. Despite roaming across Three Great Eras, I remain powerless against this catastrophe of eternity." Ye Xuan feigned a sigh.
"Rest assured, Brother. Reincarnation and Destruction are merely tribulations cast by the Eternal Universe. My Nine Tribulations Sky Pool Technique is invincible and shall break this curse."
’Yuan’ smiled confidently, as a dark pool emerged, manifesting his powerful cultivation and unshakeable confidence.
"What a magnificent Nine Tribulations Sky Pool Technique, such a technique has never existed before. It’s a lifelong regret that I can’t witness its marvel."
