Chapter 37: The So-Called Mist Ocean
Rebirth signified restoration, and Shen Changge had already cultivated the Rebirth technique to the extreme.
At that moment, using the Empyrean Sword Manual as the technique’s base, he unleashed Rebirth and had the skeleton’s main body beaten into existence!
The face of the skeleton’s main body seemed somewhat frightened, and at the same time, slightly frustrated.
“He’s salty.”
Behind him, Ling Qingxian’s pleasant voice was sprinkled with a sense of pride as she spoke.
She could not help but snort in disdain on the inside. How was a mere demon worthy of competing with her senior brother in terms of looks?
“Y-y-you! I want to kill you...”
“We can talk things out,” the skeleton said courteously as it slowly pushed the three swords in front of his neck away.
“What’s up with the Sacred Dynasty?” Shen Changge asked.
“The Sacred Dynasty is... cough, cough. Please don’t draw your sword. The Sacred Dynasty is located at the center of the Mist Ocean. Representing supremacy, it is one of the two behemoths that plunged into the Mist Ocean about a century ago.”
“Wait, didn’t the dark mist first descend three years ago?”
Shen Changge looked at the skeleton somewhat strangely.
“The mist only spread here by accident... the true Mist Ocean was born a century ago. Back then, the realm was deprived of light...” the skeleton explained.
“What exactly is the Mist Ocean?” Shen Changge asked.
The skeleton became silent.
“I don’t know either,” it finally answered.
“Aren’t you like the first master of the Sacred Dynasty or some sh*t?”
“I made that up,” it said.
“Then I guess you can die now.”
“The Mist Ocean is a very strange substance. However, there are many kinds of rumors about the Mist Ocean. Some say that the Mist Ocean is similar to something like a forbidden realm born of the world itself. As a no-go area to the living, all of us are, in fact, dead. However, our memories are retained in an inexplicable form. We are all souls, gathered at this place. This place might be equivalent to hell as depicted in worldly novels, just that we are unaware of it. It’s like a dream that will never come true...
“Another rumor is that this place is born of an ultimate creation technique, similar to that which created the universe. A brand-new world is currently being born...
“However, there are too many rumors, and we can’t get out of the dark mist anyways... so discussing all of them doesn’t amount to much.”
The skeleton sighed.
Shen Changge also felt that there was some truth in what it had just said. Hence, he nodded his head gently.
“Now, let’s discuss your problem,” Shen Changge said.
“There’s nothing wrong with me!” The skeleton’s eyes widened as he said, “He’s the one who can’t resist the temptation! What does that have to do with me?!”
However, at the very next moment!
Shen Changge struck out with his blade with an empty expression!
This was his Assaulting Art!
Scarlet Lightning!
Now, as he was using this skill, it abruptly turned into dark thunder. Murky electricity surged and instantly blew up the humanoid figure of the skeleton!
“Ah!”
The skeleton exploded, and Ji Ling wailed in agony as well. He was in a putrid state, left with only his skeleton. It was fine when he still had the skeleton to protect him. Now, he could feel the horrifying pain from all over his body. The excruciating pain made him burst into tears of misery. However, he was aware of the dire situation he was in right now.
“Senior Brother, please let go of me. I will definitely...
“I will definitely become a good person and turn over a new leaf...” Ji Ling said.
Shen Changge glanced at him, seemingly disdainful about making a move. Immediately, he kicked out with his feet! freeweb novel.com
“Ah!”
Ji Ling was kicked into the air and sent flying sideways. In the blink of an eye, he stopped in front of Mo Qingchen with his knees on the ground. At that moment, his knees were in rough shape and he was in a lot of pain.
Mo Qingchen glanced at Ji Ling, who no longer looked like a human, in disgust.
“Senior Brother Ji Ling, I’m going to send you to the afterlife. When you meet the few of our junior brothers whom you murdered, I hope that you will apologize to them sincerely and beg for their forgiveness. Tell them that you’re going to become a new man,” Mo Qingchen said.
He then pierced his blade through Ji Ling’s forehead.
Then, he slowly sheathed his sword and obediently moved behind Shen Changge.
“Junior Sister, are you alright?” he asked.
“Senior Brother Qingchen, when did you get here?”
Mo Qingchen, “???”
I was friggin here the entire time!
You were staring at Senior Brother Changge all along, weren’t you? Is a handsome face really that important?
However, his junior sister ignored his silent protest. At that moment, her adorable eyes were gazing at Shen Changge’s handsome side profile. He looked over likewise and then turned his eyes away with an awful expression on his face. He felt kind of defeated.
Shen Changge held his hands behind his back.
“Let’s go.”
His demeanor slightly resembled that of the great master.
Here he goes again. However, this time, Mo Qingchen did not feel that there was anything wrong with his senior brother’s behavior. He knew his reasons for doing so, but his senior brother’s power level was genuinely over the charts.
If his speculation was correct, his senior brother could already defeat the great master. However, he had never once made the great master feel embarrassed. His senior brother truly was his generation’s role model for respecting one’s own master...
...
Mo Qingchen, “???”
What is it that changed me?
“Senior Brother, since you’re so powerful, why did you hide your powers?” Mo Qingchen asked strangely.
Shen Changge likewise looked at him with an odd expression and said, “When have I ever hid my powers?”
Shen Changge walked in front with his hands behind his back. His clothes fluttered in the wind, imbuing him with a sense of spirit.
He’s right. Senior Brother never once concealed himself!
He has always been like this, and I was the one who misunderstood him. Perhaps he’s no lazy person at all. The state of his mind is just indifferent and cool. He has never concealed himself. It’s just that he has never met a worthy opponent. Besides, no one has discovered how terrifying Senior Brother Changge is as well.
If his senior brother wished to conceal himself, he could have just sat at home and ended Ji Ling’s life with his sword!
Hence, his senior brother had always been who he was. It was just that their view towards him was different.
Was I in the wrong?
It is true that I’m the one who is problematic.
...
Mo Qingchen looked at his senior brother’s elegant back and suddenly felt a little guilty.
But all of a sudden.
Shen Change, who was in front of Mo Qingchen, knitted his eyebrows and his eyes became icy cold.
“What’s the matter, Senior Brother?”
“That skeleton is pretty interesting. It’s not entirely dead yet. Probably a molting cicada kind of situation...” Shen Changge muttered to himself. His white clothes suddenly fluttered and his entire body was instantly covered in light. He morphed into an image, exploded, and then vanished immediately!
This Move Technique was so fancy and strange that it was simply jaw-dropping!
“Senior Brother not only has terrifying skills with the sword, but he’s also that talented in Move Techniques as well? That just now, was it the extremity of Vanishing?”
“How is that possible? Attaining the extremity of Vanishing requires a Truth Return level Move Technique!”
Mo Qingchen was a little shocked.
He discussed what had happened with his junior sister.
“The extremity of Vanishing. So... handsome...”
Mo Qingchen, “???”
Was that even the topic right now?
Weren’t we discussing how Senior Brother Changge gained mastery over a Truth Return level Move Technique?
Besides, arriving at the pinnacle of a Truth Return level Move Technique was an impossible feat, at least in their mind and environment!
Senior Brother Changge was too unimaginable.
But he had always been in the Empyrean Sword Sect...
Or could it be that their senior brother learned these things from somewhere in the dark mist?
Suddenly, Mo Qingchen remembered what the skeleton behind Ji Ling had said about the Mist Ocean earlier. Relating that to what he had seen and heard outside, could it be that his senior brother was also that kind of very special person?
It was said that if one was capable of comprehending techniques in the dark mist...
Mysterious people would come to the sect they were in and recruit them.
Only then would a sect be officially considered one that truly belonged to the dark mist and become a member of the dark mist’s great horrors...
If that was the case for their senior brother...
It was highly possible! freewebn(o)vel
However.
Have I forgotten something?
“Oh no! The elder! Qingxian, hurry, come with me and go check on the elder!”
Mo Qingchen slapped his own head. Dang it, my entire mind was so focused on little Junior Sister that I forgot that the elder is still lying on the ground!
