Chapter 315 The Emperor Star Awakens in the Heart
The closer you get to the main peak of Zunyue, the more intense the pressure you feel in your mind becomes.
This pressure came from the sky, and it seemed to be mixed with a certain will... This will had no malicious intent, and it didn't even notice Yu Cang, but this will was just sleeping and spreading normally nearby, and it had already suppressed Yu Cang to the point of suffocation.
He understood the meaning of Jiangshan's words even more.
The power of that existence is scattered among the noble mountains... This place has become the "territory" of that existence.
He hadn't even truly entered the gaze of that being, but his spirit was already shaky, and these scattered powers and wills... were merely parts of that being that overflowed from Feng Yuecangjian.
Feng Yue Cang Jian was a seal placed on that being, personally set by a Star God, using the authority of the Heavenly Dao. It could be said that it condensed the might of the world. But even so, it couldn't completely restrain that being.
He hasn't even reached the top of Zunyue Mountain, let alone entered Fengyue Cangjian, but he has already suffered such powerful pressure. He doesn't dare to imagine what will happen when he actually steps into Fengyue Cangjian.
Step, step...
Yu Cang climbed up the mountain steps step by step. The wind blew through the mountains, and only the sound of swaying trees could be heard.
Yu Cang walked as usual, and although his breathing was heavy, he still maintained a very balanced pace.
He knew that at this time, once the rhythm was disrupted, it would be difficult to get back into shape.
Gu Jieshuang was holding Qi'er and following behind Yu Cang. Although she was holding a child, judging from her expression, she was in better condition than Yu Cang, and at this moment she was easily keeping up with Yu Cang's pace.
The blood from the spiritual beast gave her physical strength and endurance that ordinary people could hardly imagine, and the weight carried by Qi'er had very limited impact on her.
On the side, Ye Lai was also walking up the mountain road, but the higher he went, the more serious his expression became. Occasionally he looked up at the sky, as if he was sensing something, his eyes thoughtful.
“Huh, huh…”
Yu Cang tried hard to calm his breathing, and fine beads of sweat slid down his forehead, flowing across his nose and cheeks.
The ubiquitous pressure also seeped into the soul energy well, compressing the soul energy originally filling it into a ball. Then, because of the appearance of this ball, a gap appeared in the soul energy well, which automatically converted mental power into soul energy in an attempt to fill it. Under the action of pressure, these newly generated soul energies continued to flow into the sphere.
In this way, the sphere became more and more solid and dense, and even affected Yu Cang's body.
Now, he only felt that his head was extremely heavy. If he moved a little, he would be pulled off balance by the weight of his head.
In this way, the two climbed all the way up. After an unknown amount of time, they stepped onto a flat ground, and a finely crafted stone archway suddenly appeared before their eyes.
There was no stone step leading up to the next step, and Yu Cang was slightly stunned. When he raised his head, he saw three big characters engraved on the stone archway.
Zhongqiongmen!
This stone archway is built very majestically. When you come to the foot of the Zhongqiong Gate, it feels like you are seeing the gate to heaven.
Yu Cang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered.
According to the information, Zhongqiongmen was built by a certain generation of emperors in the past, including Shangqiongmen and Wei'eding at the top of the peak, which were also built by a certain emperor.
In ancient times, emperors often came to Fengyue Cangjian to hold grand ceremonies to worship heaven, and climbing the majestic mountains was also something those emperors did frequently. This process helped to verify their legitimate status as "Son of Heaven".
Those buildings on the mountain were all built by people sent by the emperors... Building roads under such heavy pressure will undoubtedly consume a lot of manpower and material resources.
The road that Yu Cang is walking on now has been traveled by countless emperors before, and they have all endured the same pressure.
Once you see the Zhongqiong Gate, you've already climbed half of the mountain...and it's also the easiest half.
After passing Zhongqiongmen, the mountain will immediately become steep. Some stone steps even have a slope similar to rock climbing. Not only is the difference in elevation between roads huge, but there are also more twists and turns.
“Is this only half…” Yu Cang reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
It’s really despairing to think about it.
"Boss." Gu Jieshuang came closer, "Would you like to take a break first?"
"...Okay." Yu Cang took a deep breath.
After the Zhongqiong Gate is the main peak of Zunyue, and the pressure there will suddenly increase. By then, there will be no possibility of stopping, and you must go all out.
In other words, if you really need to take a break, now is your last chance.
Qi'er jumped down and said worriedly, "Brother and sister, how about Qi'er walk on his own later?"
Now, the girl's heart is filled with guilt.
Although Qi'er is no longer restricted in distance from Yu Cang after training and regulation by the Rehabilitation Bureau, she still cannot leave too far away, otherwise the power of the forbidden card in her body will be reactivated.
If it weren't for this restriction, she would definitely have followed Jiang Shan and Zhong Sheng to the top of the mountain first.
Now, seeing that she has become a burden to Yu Cang and Gu Jieshuang, the girl naturally feels guilty.
"It's okay, Qi'er, you're looking down on your brothers and sisters." Yu Cang smiled, then looked at Gu Jieshuang, "Jieshuang, we'll take turns holding Qi'er later."
"Boss, I can do it myself."
"Don't be so stubborn." Yu Cang took a few deep breaths. "The pressure here is equal. You have strong physical fitness, but you will also be under greater pressure. I can't let you lead Qi'er all the time in the second half... Haha, don't look at me like this now, but I'm still far from my limit."
Gu Jieshuang was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
"That's good." Yu Cang found a stone step and sat on it.
On the side, Ye Lai slowly flew to Yu Cang's feet and said:
"Master of this body, I will return to Chaos first."
"What's wrong?" Yu Cang asked puzzledly.
Ye Lai's state is maintained by his real name, which does not take up any mental pressure, so whether he is present or not will not have any impact on Cang, nor will it be a burden.
"I have a feeling there will be a battle," Ye Lai said slowly, "I need to prepare a little."
"...Okay." Yu Cang nodded and his expression became serious.
It can make Ye Lai so serious. It seems that the trial in Feng Yuecangjian cannot be underestimated.
Gu Jieshuang did not sit down, but just stood aside, silently adjusting his breathing.
Suddenly, she turned her head and looked down the mountain.
"That is..."
"Hmm?" Yu Cang followed Gu Jieshuang's gaze and smiled. "...It's the Holy City."
The direction Gu Jieshuang was looking was the direction of the Holy City.
From here, the view can cover almost half of the holy city. You can see the tall buildings lined up one after another, as well as the small houses in the corners.
The entire holy city is almost in sight.
"If we come here at night, the scenery will definitely be nice." Yu Cang clicked his tongue.
It is conceivable that you can see thousands of lights here at night, not to mention that it is the end of the year and the season is changing. Fireworks fill the sky at night. Standing at this height, you must be able to see the same level as those fireworks.
Yu Cang raised his head and looked into the clouds.
I wonder if Feng Yuecang can see these fireworks.
If you can see it, it will definitely be a different view.
…
I didn't rest for too long. After all, even if I sat still, the pressure in my mind was gradually increasing.
After his physical fatigue was slightly relieved, Yu Cang walked to the side and picked up Qi'er.
"Let's go."
Taking a deep breath, Yu Cang resolutely crossed the Zhongqiong Gate, took a step forward, and stepped onto the first stone step behind the platform.
Suddenly, the pressure on the body and mind suddenly intensified, as if it turned into real weight, pressing down on Cang's body!
In his arms, Qi'er also groaned and shrank into Yu Cang's arms, her little hands already tightly clutching Yu Cang's clothes on his chest.
Qi'er has a special physique. She doesn't have a soul energy well and cannot produce a "soul energy ball" in her mind, so the pressure she is under will be reduced accordingly. But no matter what, this is still too heavy for a child.
Yu Cang stepped on the stone steps but paused for a long time.
It took him several seconds to gradually adapt to the pressure.
"Huh..." Yu Cang let out a long breath.
That was a close call.
When the pressure suddenly increased just now, he was caught off guard and his legs almost gave out and he fell down.
Fortunately, after getting used to it, it is not difficult to bear.
"Jie Shuang, be careful." Yu Cang raised his head and looked at the top of Zunyue Mountain hidden in the clouds. "Let's go, continue."
"Yeah." Gu Jieshuang followed closely behind.
Walking on the mountain road behind Zhongqiong Gate, Yu Cang's perception was that the power of will diffused around him had become increasingly clear, even giving him the illusion that he could touch something by stretching out his hand.
Obviously, they are getting closer to "that existence".
This exaggerated pressure made Yu Cang feel a little heavy in his heart.
There is still a space between him and that existence, and the pressure he feels is already exaggerated to this extent... When they really come into contact head-on, he won't even be able to look directly at it.
And he did all this without the being even noticing him, without exerting any effort at all.
Isn't this... a bit exaggerated... Just what kind of strength does that being have? A myth? Or even above myth?
The information did not mention the strength of this existence. Perhaps, the fact that it was not mentioned was already an answer - His strength was so great that even the myths that entered it could not see through it.
And he was actually thinking just now that after entering Feng Yue Cangjian, he would try to turn this existence into his own soul card... Could this really succeed?
Even if the entry recorder could do it, he himself wouldn't be able to bear it...
……No.
Yu Cang took a deep breath, shook his head, and his eyes became a little firmer.
Really... I almost got scared.
No matter how powerful that being was, even so powerful, he couldn't escape the fate of being eroded by Huang. And Yu Cang was determined to fight Huang and protect Blue Star. On this path, surpassing this being was a necessary process!
With the entry recorder in hand and the support of so many fellow travelers, he would eventually surpass all existing realms! The sky where that being existed was far from his destination.
Yu Cang did not stop, raised his head and looked towards the clouds. Although his body was still wailing under the tremendous pressure and his spirit was somewhat weak because it was constantly being converted into soul energy, at this moment, his inner thoughts suddenly became more determined.
The God who created all living things? Now trapped in this sky for thousands of years... What are you thinking about? Do you feel lonely?
If you truly care about all living beings as much as you have been helping humanity for six thousand years, then let me release you.
Escape from the trap, come down from the sky to the earth, and then become... my strength.
Sweat streamed down his face. Yu Cang was so weak now that he had a hard time resisting even the simple release of his will. The gap between him and that person was difficult to calculate with numbers, but at this moment, this idea was so real that Yu Cang even felt it was within reach.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
And at this moment, Yu Cang's heart suddenly moved, as if he felt... some kind of dormant power seemed to stir in his heart for a moment?
He quickly tried to sense it, but felt nothing.
This made him frown slightly.
A stirring power? What could it be...
Is there any power in my heart that I am not even aware of?
...No, this is not an unknown power, he should know it.
Yu Cang's eyes changed quietly, and he seemed to realize something.
It’s the Emperor Star!
Your own destiny star! The strongest and most mysterious star in the entire sky!
...Is it because of the change in my mentality that I responded?
Yu Cang chuckled.
It really suits your name.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Gu Jieshuang on the side seemed to notice some changes in Yu Cang, and asked hurriedly with concern.
"It's okay, I just have a premonition that this trial will yield some unexpected gains." Yu Cang smiled lightly.
In his arms, Qi'er stretched out her little hand and helped Yu Cang wipe the sweat from his forehead.
"Oh, I see..." Gu Jieshuang raised her head and looked forward.
We have reached the last leg of the journey.
This is an unimaginably long stone staircase path that goes all the way up without any turns or ups and downs. Although it is flat, the slope increases steeply all the way, which is daunting.
This road is the Dengtianpan in front of the Shangqiong Gate!
Looking past the Ascension Plate and towards the Upper Dome Gate at the very top, Gu Jieshuang calmed himself down and then said:
"Boss, this is the last stretch of the journey. It's time for me to hold Qi'er for a while."
All the way after Zhongqiong Gate, the two of them took turns holding Qi'er. Now, Yu Cang had been holding her for a while, so let her go for the last part of the journey.
Unexpectedly, Yu Cang shook his head.
"No, I'll do it."
"Ah? But the boss..."
"It's okay, and you're tired too." Yu Cang took a deep breath. "Jie Shuang, get ready. This is the last leg of the journey, and we absolutely cannot stop—we need to speed up!"
“Ah?…Okay!”
After saying that, Yu Cang took a step forward immediately, changing his previous steady pace on the mountain road. He took three stone steps in one step, and his speed increased instantly!
Such speed even stunned Gu Jieshuang who was behind him.
Boss... do you still have this much energy?
This kind of long climb was extremely draining, and even as a mixed-race girl, her legs and feet couldn't help but feel sore - after all, that kind of pressure was no joke.
To be honest, she didn't want to speed up suddenly now. After all, it was conceivable that the pressure of this last section of the road must be unprecedentedly high. It would be embarrassing if she ran out of energy halfway through the climb.
But Yu Cang had already made the decision, so Gu Jieshuang naturally would not object. She focused her eyes slightly and followed Yu Cang without missing a step!
The pressure gradually increased and even condensed into substance. As Yu Cang continued to move forward, a buzzing sound was emitted in his ears. The soul energy sphere in his mind almost became solid and extremely heavy, affecting Yu Cang's spirit at all times.
Under normal circumstances, such great pressure would not have crushed him directly, but under such pressure, he would definitely not have been able to burst out at such speed.
But now, a constant flow of power was flowing from the depths of his heart, making Yu Cang feel almost no fatigue. And... it seemed that the more such a power, so great that it was despairing, enveloped him, the more excited this power in his heart became, and the more he wanted to surpass and conquer.
"Is this the Emperor Star?" Yu Cang was now absolutely certain that his destiny star was the Emperor Star.
"Then... come on."
…
Between the vast mountains and the boundless clouds.
The aurora that stretched here seemed to ripple suddenly for a moment, and then the god's sight wavered slightly.
He... noticed something, and there seemed to be some inexplicable change in his indifferent tone.
"...Could it be an old acquaintance?"
…
chaos
Ye Lai and Feng stood among them.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, a smile suddenly appeared on Ye Lai's serious face.
"The master of this body has already understood. It seems that things will be much easier for us."
maple:"……"
"Feng, what do you think of this god?"
Feng closed his eyes gently.
"Powerful and immature."
"He seems to have outlived you."
"It doesn't change anything."
"Well... I mean, I think so too."
…
Shangqiongmen
call!
Suddenly, a breeze blew up from nowhere on the mountain road. Zhong Sheng and Jiang Shan, who were talking, seemed to sense something and looked towards the entrance of the stone steps.
tread.
A figure walked over the stone steps, sweat dripping down, and layers of white mist emerged in the evening wind.
Yu Cang was breathing heavily, his blood surging throughout his body. Although his body and mind were extremely tired, his eyes were brighter than ever before.
He was still holding Qi'er in his arms. At this moment, the girl had a distressed look on her face. She used her little hands to try her best to help Yu Cang wipe the sweat from his forehead to prevent it from flowing into his eyes.
"I'm here." Yu Cang slowly calmed his breathing, "Let's start, I can't wait any longer."
Behind him, Gu Jieshuang also stepped onto the platform. She held onto the stone pillars of the upper dome gate and breathed rapidly.
When she looked up at Yu Cang, her expression was extremely strange.
No...what's wrong with you in the last paragraph...it's like you suddenly exploded!
Boss, who of us is the mixed-race one? Why is it that even she can’t keep up with your speed?
The pressure on the last section of the ascent was simply unbearable for a human being. It was as if countless invisible hands were pushing them down from above, and behind them was a steep mountain road. If they slipped, they would most likely be crushed to pieces.
How could anyone speed up on a road like this?
In front of them, Zhong Sheng and Jiang Shan looked at each other in bewilderment.
Why is Yu Cang's condition... different from what they imagined?
Are he and Gu Jieshuang rebelling?
