Chapter 3327: Chapter 1668: All Parties Lend an Ear to this Will Path, A Challenge Across Domains Delivered to the Sacred Mountain_3

A calling voice arose from his chest.

Ye Xiaotian sniffled, hurriedly wiped away his tears, but still felt a tingling sensation at the tip of his nose.

He was persuaded by Xu Xiaoshou, but could not find his original intention of cultivation again:

“What happened to ‘Four sons, four sons, walk together for a lifetime’?”

…

Nanming Kun leapt, transformed into a Peng, soared through the Nine Heavens.

Near the sea, a black and red, domineering star-patterned Heavenly Mechanism Puppet halted, its abdominal compartment opened, and a girl jumped out.

She wore white, her eyes covered with a black band, she bent over barefoot, stepping on the icy cold seawater, picking up shells on the beach.

From inside the machine cabin, Xu Xiaoshou’s muffled voice could be heard:

“Meaning…”

“There is no meaning…”

Yu Zhiwen looked up, her lips slightly curled; she understood what Xu Xiaoshou meant, it wasn’t meaningless.

The song of the waves cheered, proclaiming the sea’s freedom and rebirth.

Do the shells on the shore still remain silent; is silence meaningless?

“No!”

From inside the cabin Xu Xiaoshou’s decisive voice rang out.

Yu Zhiwen touched the seawater, slightly lifted her head, allowing the black sea wind to whisk through her hair ends, bringing a moist sensation.

She caressed the shell, and tossed it forward.

The uncontrollable tide pushed the shell along, after landing once more, the silent shell might just find its meaning.

…

At the foot of the Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe, far away.

The Five Decays of Heaven and Man abruptly looked up, under the orange mask the Three Loathsome Eyes spun rapidly, suddenly fixed.

Heavy sounds of wind, calls, and astonishment exploded by his ears.

He walked by the crowd, headed toward the Sacred Mountain, agony swirling in his brain, he stopped amidst the chaos, feeling as though he had forgotten something.

He remembered he had a teammate…

Yes, Xu Xiaoshou!

No, it’s Lei Xi’er!

The Five Decays of Heaven and Man frowned, searched through fragmented memories for something, regaining his self.

He dared not have teammates anymore.

He had long persuaded Lei Xi’er to leave.

He planned to ascend the Sacred Mountain alone.

“What to do?”

Life, seems just meaningless.

He aimlessly marched towards the Sacred Mountain, only knowing he had to make his stance there once.

All of a sudden, he paused, then turned back, looking towards the distant mirrored figure, recalling those once together, now silent, pitiful wretches.

“They’ve all come back.”

“Huang Quan, why haven’t you returned home yet?”

…

Xu Xiaoshou stared at the Dao Imparting Mirror, as if looking at the people of the Five Domains, knowing that everyone was watching him.

He continued speaking, telling his own story:

“I know a ghost beast friend, a senior in red robes.”

“The ghost beast is a good one, has only one dream in life, to find a nest to settle in and that’s it.”

“Red Coat was a real Red Coat, his life’s only dream was to exterminate all the ghost beasts.”

Pausing, he smiled and said:

“But one day, I met a little Red Coat in the ranks of the Red Coats? No, a little ghost beast…”

“I sought secrets, retracing their meaning, and later realized that the so-called Red Coats slaughtering ghost beasts was merely to usurp the power within them.”

“My senior Red Coat, when reaching Cutting Path, possessed the Power of the Higher Void–Grand Vital Energy, whether he still is in the higher void now, I do not know.”

“Thinking back, I see him as a pitiful worm, an experimental subject.”

Xu Xiaoshou pointed towards the direction of Four Symbols Secret Realm:

“In that place, I hand-slaughtered a Qilin, it was a saint beast and also a ghost beast.”

“Bei Huai targeting me, was in fact not about me, he was after Greedy the Cat Spirit–the ghost beast inside me, he was after the Engulfing Power.”

“I do not know how many experiments they’ve conducted over the years, how many Powers of Demons and Beasts they’ve seized, camouflaged as the Power of the Higher Void, and put inside who knows whom.”

“All I know is that there aren’t many left who still remember their original purpose, like the first-generation Red Coat Fang Wenxin, and my senior Red Coat, Night Guardian, who wanted to take me as an apprentice.”

The Five Domains silently listened to the matter of the ghost beast, and seeing Lord Shou spread his hands, returned to the topic at hand:

“Then, is the pursuit of freedom by the Saint Servants meaningless?”

“No!”

“It’s meaningful!”

Xu Xiaoshou said, he considered himself a rather pure Saint Servant, as he also found his answer:

“Not only the Ten High Nobles are trapped in the Cage Theory.”

“Red Coat’s experimental subjects, White-clothed foreigners, demi-saints outside the Holy Divine Palace, and you all who are on your way to becoming one of these three…”

“All of you, are Saint Servants!”

All the saints from Sacred Mountain Gui Zhe looked at Ai Cangsheng as a unit, even the expressions of the Ninth Divine Priest wrote urgency.

But as everyone tried to signal with their eyes for Lord Cang Sheng to fire an arrow to stop Xu Xiaoshou, Ai Cangsheng remained indifferent.

He was still listening, and Xu Xiaoshou was still speaking:

“Empty talk, it’s meaningless.”

“Pursuing vague ideals, talking so much is also meaningless.”

“Politeness is offered to smiles, logic is told to those who respect, respect is mutual, when civilization doesn’t work, we must return to barbarism…”

“One word, fight!”

Xu Xiaoshou looked into the mirror, as if crossing a region, directed towards the sacred mountain.

Lord Cang Sheng on the sacred mountain didn’t need to look into Feng Zhongzui’s mirror; under the Eyes of the Great Path, everything was adjacent.

The Five Domains Spectators, upon the fall of the word “fight,” were already comprehending, rising up in sentiment, eyes gleaming with anticipation.

But seeing Lord Shou smiling, he waved his hand and said:

“Ai Cangsheng, no need for pointless words about blocking Path Principles, or the balderdash about exile to the Land of Sin, if Nine Sacrificial Osmanthus can’t do it, you don’t have the power either.”

“Nor am I going to play any cunning tricks with you. As Dao Qiongcang once put it well, let’s skip the process and directly get to the result.”

He pointed towards the mirror, directing towards Ai Cangsheng:

“You, stay put in the Southern Region.”

He pointed towards himself, gesturing towards the horizon, pinpointing the sacred mountain:

“I, will go to the Dead Sea to fetch my Master.”

Immediately retracting his finger, he pulled out Hidden Bitter, flicked a sword flower casually, thrusting towards the Dao Imparting Mirror, startling people from the Five Domains:

“Once this is done, I take up the fight.”

“However many come, that many I’ll slay; if the Holy Emperor comes, behead the Holy Emperor.”

He chopped at the void twice with his sword, as if slaughter dogs:

“Including this very beloved dog of yours.”

“Hear the twanging bow.”
