World of Immortals Chapter 239 Part4

Part 1

Xiao Shishui defeated Chulain of the Heroic Four. This news was like a gale as it spread throughout the Shang Dynasty's capital city in a single night. This was undoubtedly a sensational news.

The Heroic Four were almost unrivalled among the youth generation. The names had shaken the Shang Dynasty for several years. They were invincible and practically unparalleled. Even those who were one generation older than them might not necessarily be able to win against them.

The Warbeast Palaces, casinos Spellbind Castle, Moonflower Castle… and all the pract.i.tioners were talking about this matter. The travelling artist Xiao Shishui had become famous in Yindu overnight.

In particular, the grown-up generation was more concerned about this matter after learning the news. Chulain was a prominent figure among the youth generation, for him to lose like this, it was definitely a major event.

"The Destiny Twins are known to be invincible. With the DeathG.o.d's Scythe and Heavenly Wheel paired up, just how many people can stand up against them? However, he was defeated by a travelling artist who appeared out of nowhere. We must him that artist at all cost."

"Let's see if we can make use of this Xiao Shishui."

After they received the report, many clans issued orders with similar meaning. A youth expert like this would definitely become an absolute powerhouse in the future. If he was educated efficiently, it was extremely possible for him to stand at the top among his peers. How could these major clans not recruit him?

Eightfold Worlds had only been revealed to the public eyes for the first time, and it had already become well known in this region.

In addition to that, Xiao Chen's origin had become all the more mysterious due to his proficiency in various seal techniques. These five powerful seal techniques possessed indescribable power and had once shocked the heaven and earth.

Not only that, the extremely destructive Telepathic Sword Wave had once intimidated the whole world during a certain era. Adding on to that, there's even the Yin-Yang Seal. All of these seemed to indicate that… Xiao Chen's origin was very complicated. He should have the backing of several world-renowned experts, otherwise how could he have learned all of these long lost skills?

This was a very restless night for Yindu. Regardless of the casinos or the brothels, every pract.i.tioner was discussing about this matter.

And it was also during this night that everyone learned of another matter. Yanzalp of the Heroic Four would be back in three more days. The urgent letter Chulain received in the middle of the fight was delivered by him.

This news made everyone very excited. Chulain of the Heroic Four had been defeated, would Yanzalp stick out for him? Not for vengeance, but to give him some face.

After all, the Heroic Four were close friends to begin with. Since Yanzalp would be coming back, how could he look on without lifting a finger? Since that was the case, the following days in Yindu would definitely be very fantastic.

Furthermore, there was still one more piece of news that only the scions of renowned clans knew of. There was a "strong tiger" from Middle Earth's Tiger clan in town. Once he learned that two "young tigers" were killed, they believed that the "strong tiger" from the world-renowned Tiger clan would not be able to sit still much longer…

Many people were bound to suffer from insomnia this night. That was because of their expectations for the following days.

The lakeside had already quieten down. Everyone had left a long time ago. It was already very late at night.

The bright moonlight shone upon the lake. A soft and gentle radiance circulated in the clear Moon Lake. It looked like a piece of shiny gem. With the reflection of the moonlight, this place had been shrouded by a layer of faint mist. It was beautiful beyond words.

A small boat was slowly drifting on the Moon Lake, creating ripples as it drifted. The ripples broke the reflection of the moonlight into tiny pieces of jade.

Xiao Chen sat at the bow of the boat all by himself, admiring the moon as he drink. What was absent was the joy of victory, the only thing present was a feeling of emptiness. When everyone was making a racket out there, he was at the Moon Lake alone.

During the battle, he did indeed felt a surge of strong emotion. At that moment, he was full of mettle. He wholeheartedly devoted his life to the pa.s.sionate confrontation, allowing his flower of life to bloom fully. During that life and death confrontation, he tasted the true meaning of life and death. He felt a pa.s.sion and caused his blood to race.

However, after the extreme showdown was over. When his strong emotion gradually waned, when his thrilling sensation gradually cooled down, all he felt instead was tiredness and emptiness.

Everyone was making a racket out there, yet he was all by his lonesome self.

Even if the whole world was cheering for him, his lonesome feeling still couldn't be changed.

Fame, he already attained it. Money, he easily obtained.

However…

An exciting but a lonely life, that's what he was feeling right now.

His back leaned against the boat's railing. With the bronze cup in hand, he faced the moon and drank. Xiao Chen's face was full of loneliness and solitude.

He was already a little drunk. While facing the hazy moonlight, he felt a little lost.

What is the meaning of immortality? Being invincible and living an eternal life might not really be a fortune. In those long years, what they might face were nothing but hardship and loneliness.

Perhaps, attaining immortality before the age of forty and "returning home" to take a look was his only pushing force.

However, thinking about it carefully, his white-haired parents were not that healthy to begin with. Would he still be able to meet them if he were to return twenty years later?

And his ex-girlfriend in the human world, who would be her partner after twenty years?

[I used up my youth to train, but I can't see nor predict the future… is this worth it?]

Xiao Chen silently gazed at the moon by himself. He felt very tired all of a sudden. It was as if there was an invisible chain firmly tying him up.

[Should I go back…?]

Imagining the scene twenty years later, he suddenly felt his conviction collapsing. That all of his effort and struggle were in vain. His hope had turned into illusions. While facing these depressing fragments… he wondered if he should still continue to struggle.

He was drunk!

Xiao Chen was drunk indeed.

His mind was in disorder and he started to let his imagination run wild. His hardened heart was softened at this moment.

He actually started to doubt if there was any meaning behind his training.

Immortality? Live as long as the heaven and earth, shine as bright as the sun and moon, never dying and overlooking all living things.

However, apart from these, was there anything else?

Loneliness and isolation were always one's companion. Would these be the ultimate conclusion?

The world of mortals was full of charm and vitality. As such, was there any meaning to pursue immortality? Perhaps, just living a simple life and live out this life happily would be for the best.

[Who cares about heaven's collapse or the underworld's upheaval. Who cares about the death of ancestor G.o.ds or the calamity to enfold. I will just live my life free and unfettered, that will be more than enough.]

The the center of the Moon Lake, Xiao Chen gazed at the bright moon alone. After the midnight, this place appeared particularly unfrequented. It was extremely quiet.

The boat drifted with the waves.

Since who knows when, Xiao Chen suddenly heard the sound of swords clashing in his dreamy state.

Lifting his head to take a look, a girl actually flew past the lake. Although her posture was graceful, her killer move was launched straight towards the sky.

The beautiful yet heart-wrenching singing voice spread throughout the surrounding. It immediately caused Xiao Chen to sober up. For some reason, it felt as if he could see a very powerful army. His cooled down blood suddenly began to boil again.

It was as if Xiao Chen had been struck by lightning. His blood began to race in a flash. He was moved by the song and magnificent aspiration actually welled up in an instant. He felt as if he could go and shake up the ancestor G.o.ds between heaven and earth.

The intermittent song seemed to have ignited Xiao Chen's fighting spirit. It caused the perplexed him to find his ego once more. This was a battle song for the men. It immediately boosted his morale.

Although the lyrics was awkward, that kind of artistic conception was already enough to cause his blood to boil and completely recover his mind.

Life was like a song. How could a man hesitate and be at a loss? They must allow the flower of life to bloom. They must be full of fighting spirit and stand upright between the heaven and earth. They must make their life brim with magnificent colors.

It didn't matter what the future held, it was fine to disregard the conclusion. The most important thing was that he had already tried his best.

Xiao Chen hardened his heart and decided to continue moving forward without changing his direction. Unwavering from start to finish, continue to press forward.

Everyone was like this, it was impossible to stay simple and pure. Everyone had a complicated mind. And Xiao Chen was also the same. After a brief moment of loneliness, he began to feel hot blooded again, feeling even more confident than before.

The song slowly came to a stop. And that dream-like beauty also disappeared from the Moon Lake.

"Qing Qing… is that you?"

"After the battle, I actually got possessed by the devil and narrowly destroyed my mind, that was too close!" Xiao Chen lamented.

He stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the starry sky alone. His gaze was firm and his will was as hard as steel. Xiao Chen was full of vigor. He was currently at the peak of Historia Sixth Celestial Layer, though it felt as if he could breakthrough at any time.

"Train the mind at the human world, that is a wise decision indeed."

Xiao Chen felt convinced. He decided to vigorously continue this path down the human world. Hundred forms of life were waiting for him.

Three days pa.s.sed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Chen tossed the evil twin's head into the Moon lake. Chulain's evil counterpart immediately showed up. He cupped his hands at Xiao Chen and left as though he was flying.

Although three days was a very short duration of time, it was more than enough for Xiao Chen to become the most well-known figure in Yindu.

Chulain's evil twin was really sealed for three days. While everyone was shocked, they also couldn't help but to admire his courage. He was really extraordinary to have the guts to restrain a young lord.

After quietly meditating at the Moon Lake for three days, Xiao Chen's mental state had once again advanced by one level. His Spiritual Power had broke through to Historia's Seventh Layer before his physical power's advancement.

He jumped up suddenly and left the boat behind him. With the Eightfold's extreme speed, Xiao Chen instantly appeared on Yindu's main street. The sky was still the same, the clouds were no less different, but what changed was his mental state. These three days felt like a snap of the fingers.

Some of the supreme clans desired to settle in Yinxu City, but there were many things to consider. Apart from strategic location and economy, the most important factor was the ancient secrets.

According to legend, ancestor G.o.ds like f.u.xi had once settled in Yinxu City during the distant past. The historical remains they left behind were long lasting.

Reportedly, this place had a hidden treasure. It might also be the burial ground of the G.o.ds. Above the sky, the dragon-qi lingered on. Below the ground, the dragon vein was ingrained.

Xiao Chen didn't plan to leave Yindu for a short period of time. He had already visited the historical site of f.u.xi. He still wanted to visit the other historical sites.

Unconsciously, Xiao Chen had arrived at the Lunar Pavilion again. He laughed involuntarily. A human's habit sure was a scary thing. He had only been here twice, but under an aimless circ.u.mstances, he actually arrived at this place.

Since he was already here, there was no reason not to go in.

The instant he arrived at the ninth floor, Xiao Chen suddenly realized. Xiao Shishui could be considered as a celebrity now, if he was to go up like this, wouldn't it be inappropriate?

However, it was already too late. Everyone's gaze was already focused on him. The originally noisy building suddenly turned deadly silent.

Following closely, friendly words of greetings were spat out:

"Brother Xiao, this way please…"

"Greeting to Brother Shishui, please come over…"

A group of rich kids instantly encircled him. Many people wished to invite him as a guest. He had been missing for several days, just to appear at this place all of a sudden, how could they not step forward to worm their way into being friends.

This was but the expert who defeated Chulain. He wiped out the Destiny Twins with Eightfold Worlds. He was worthy of the supreme clan's attention.
