Chapter 420: Enlightenment from a Hazy Dream



"Still not opening your eyes?"

Shi Yongkang couldn't see through Xia Xiao, and he didn't wait any longer. He formed seals with his hands and completely activated the powerful Emperor Seal. Suddenly, the earth energy burned on the stone palm like a flame. After receiving another energy from the earth, Shi Yongkang released a breath that could swallow the earth, destroying the broken clouds and shaking the heaven and earth.

Shi Yongkang, standing on the slender stone pillar, had already drained all the earth energy of the Changbai Mountains, and the stone pillar under his feet turned muddy yellow. When this light was injected into the stone hand in the sky with a labored shout, a wave of air roared, affecting the entire Changbai Mountains.

The wind wave swept over nearly a hundred miles, carrying the snow accumulated on the snow-capped mountains away from the mountains and heading towards the undulating ice fields outside. Adding a bit of desolation to the already icy ground. The snowflakes scattered, causing heavy snow to fall over the fortifications in the west of Daxia. The border town in the east of the Southern Shang Empire also faced this terrifying snowstorm disguised as a natural disaster without any warning. The blizzard was howling, and the people of both countries were shocked, but the ones who were really surprised were the practitioners among them.

In the west of Daxia, the cultivators in the trenches stood against the wind, standing like military flags, facing the direction of the wind wave and lost in thought. This wind wave followed one after another, bringing the blizzard that should not have been delivered here. And the aura in it has the power of the fruit of the realm of honor. Even for Nanshang, such strength should not be underestimated, but who is fighting on the border between the two countries?

No one knows, no one knows, because the distance is too far. But those who are close may not know why the blizzard is happening. In the Changbai Mountains, countless wild beasts were startled and kept fleeing in the strong wind and snow. The breath above their heads made them feel that the knife was pressed against their necks, and as long as they exerted force, it would fall and cut their heads in half.

On the flat ground in front of the entrance to the Earth King Hall, there was an even more powerful energy that supported a wave of air, so the students who followed behind didn't have to worry about being blown away. This wave of air made even Gang Leader Hong secretly afraid, let alone them.

"The handprints are starting to move!"

After Long Ying was injured, Ah Zhu used the talisman array cast by Sun Zhonglei in order to see the scene on the snowy mountain. But because it was too clear, he couldn't help but say what he saw every time, fearing that what he saw was different from what others saw. At this time, he saw the handprint suddenly flew towards Xia Xiao from the air. Although it was still far away, Ah Zhu had already started praying.

Under the handprint, the world began to turn upside down. Although everything seemed normal to them, the world where Shi Yongkang was located had begun to rotate rapidly. This kind of movement was originally used to confuse the opponent and make him panic. But Ju Mang did not react at all and remained calm as before. Even calmer than him was Xia Xiao!

"What is this idiot doing?"

Ah Zhu was so angry that she even chopped off her feet. Was she so angry that she stood there stupidly waiting to die? She didn't understand what Xia Xiao was thinking, and neither did Ju Mang. He just felt it was mysterious and thought that he would wake up in time. So even though the handprint kept getting closer, he didn't panic. He just flew behind Xia Xiao, and his wings protected his chest, turning into a hard breastplate. If there was really an accident, Ju Mang would also stand in front of Xia Xiao. His mission was to protect Xia Xiao, and it never changed!

The mixed yellow energy reflected on Xia Xiao's face, and the heaviness contained in it almost caused his body to be deformed.

"Although this is a somewhat unfair victory, you can't blame me!"

Shi Yongkang saw Xiang Qi being pulled back to the ground by the Palace Master's vitality, his face turned fierce, and he let out a very high roar. Above his head, the handprint in the sky descended faster and arrived in front of him in an instant.

The big hand lifted up a thick layer of air, making a heavy sound of wind. In the direction it was facing, Xia Xiao's hair was instantly messy and his face was distorted. But in his mind, there was no pain, no sound around him, and no cold wind. Azhu and others in the distance, who were full of concern, disappeared as if they did not exist. The main peak disappeared, the chaotic snow-capped mountains around disappeared, the Changbai Mountain range disappeared, the earth and the sky also disappeared, and the entire wilderness returned to chaos, and everything returned to the original silence.

Silence, everything was quiet. Xia Xiao felt that he was the only subject in this world, that he was the world, and that there was nothing else, everything was false, only his mind was still moving. Movement was thinking, gathering enough insights, and doing things that were enough to surprise others.

Xia Xiao was recalling the scene of that day in a very quiet world. That day in the east of the East China Sea, his body was controlled by the ancestor of the spiritual contract. Facing that old senior, or even the consciousness of a god, Xia Xiao could not move his fingers even a little. During that control, he seemed to be sleeping, and in a hazy dream he saw himself fighting with a senior who he needed to look up to.

That senior was very strong. With a wave of his hand, he could suppress both his vitality and the five elements. With a breath, he could gather the vitality of heaven and earth to replenish himself. The mind of the ancestor of the spiritual contract that controlled his body did not contain much vitality. At least Xia Xiao did not feel the majestic sea, but every time she raised her hands and moved, the vitality she released was terrifying. Every time she breathed in and out, it was like calling on heaven and earth. That breath was extremely natural, not like a deliberate move, but Xia Xiao could not do it, so she was imitating it at this time.

Xia Xiao observed very carefully. The use of vital energy during breathing was like a command, allowing the five elements of heaven and earth to be used for his own purposes. Xia Xiao learned to master it and slowly opened his eyes.

He opened his eyes a little, and everything in his mind disappeared. The chaotic and empty world was instantly filled, and a huge stone hand appeared in front of him, and snow-capped mountains appeared around him. The earth and the sky returned to normal in an instant. Along with it, there was also a strong air pressure. The stone hand and its vitality arrived at the same time, causing extremely exaggerated wrinkles to appear on Xia Xiao's face, like wrinkles of old age.

"You can't hide from this distance!"

When Shi Yongkang roared, he seemed to have a sure win. He knew that he would succeed! But in an instant, after he said this, the stone pillars under his feet began to crack with a shocking sound. When he looked down, he found that the world had changed.

The four kinds of energy in the universe were mobilized and came from all directions, just like reinforcements from other places when one side was in trouble. The reinforcements gave Xia Xiao the capital to be arrogant, saved his life, and made him have the power of the sky in an instant. This was an unprecedented experience. Xia Xiao had been comprehending for so long, and this was the first time he put it into actual combat. But this was the first time when he had no experience at all, and everyone on the ground was shocked.

"Is this the move that Xia Xiao mentioned... the ancestor of the Spiritual Contract?"

"That should be it."

The people at the academy had been prepared before, but they didn't expect it to appear in this form. But on the alliance side, Hall Master Ren's face was the most unpleasant.

"How is that possible?"

Hall Master Ren couldn't believe it. The Emperor Seal, which used the earth energy of Changbai Mountain, should be enough to crush Xia Xiao. It would not be too much to smash him into the ground and flatten two snow-capped mountains, but why did it stop in front of him? Shi Yongkang felt a little unbelievable. His injured right palm had begun to gradually lose its flesh and blood, and even exposed the white bones.

Shi Yongkang roared like crazy, exerted force with his feet, causing the stone pillar to collapse, and then fell straight down from a thousand meters in the air. Because of the leg armor transformed from the elephant beast, Shi Yongkang stood firm on his feet, and grasped his right wrist with his left hand, forcing it to press down again.

Boom boom

Under this sound, the thunder was just like this. But in front of the stone hand, the four elements of energy that had gathered changed shape under Xia Xiao's call. Xia Xiao gradually understood how the ancestor of the spiritual contract used this energy, and couldn't help but feel it was amazing.

In theory, the energy of heaven and earth must be absorbed into the body before it can become a part of oneself, so as to achieve the effect of cultivation and use it skillfully. Of course, you can also use the energy in nature that matches your own five elements to fight. Although the second method cannot change the energy tree, it is practical enough in battle!

Xia Xiao breathed in and out with a rhythm. Hundreds of lakes and icy pools, thousands of snow-capped mountains, and tens of thousands of pine trees all contributed their efforts, making the ball of energy in front of him grow larger and larger, even a few inches larger than the stone hand.

His breathing became heavier, and Xia Xiao felt that he had reached his limit, so he stopped forcing himself. He formed seals with his hands, and the energy in front of him changed accordingly.

It was a very difficult thing to activate the huge vitality in front of him. He could not be like the ancestor of the spiritual contract, and he could not even compare with her consciousness. However, at this moment, the vitality suddenly appeared in the sky with the momentum of a black dragon.

The black dragon used its vital energy as an egg, and after breaking through it, it suddenly rose several thousand meters, like a living thing. Then it lowered its head and opened its mouth, swallowing the entire snow-capped mountain into its belly with the momentum of swallowing mountains and rivers. In front of Shi Yongkang's astonished eyes, it swallowed the stone hand that had turned into a whole snow-capped mountain into its belly. The palm that could shake the world was treated like this, and no one could accept it. However, the changes in the belly of the huge black dragon gave the alliance hope.

There was a sound of vital energy exploding in the abdomen, and light from vital energy seeped out from behind the cracks. It was rich earth-based vital energy, like the sun that was swallowed up by the darkness, and at this moment it emitted a few rays of light called hope.

The leaders of the alliance stood up one by one and saw the black dragon thousands of meters high forming a ball, covering the previous light, like extinguishing the last flame of the fire of hope. The world suddenly became quiet, there was no wind in the air, and the big hands disappeared. But the big ball formed by the four elements of vitality suddenly expanded and emitted a wave of air.

The big ball is not like the black dragon, that is the color of the illusion. But there is a majestic green wood light, light blue water light, some red flames and dark purple light. They are originally fused into one, so the air waves released at this time have the vitality of the wood, wind, a few flashes of electricity, water, frost, heavy metal and high temperature.

A variety of different auras mixed together, shocking everyone, and the main peak shook violently. Hall Master Ren clenched his fist to stabilize the main peak, but the astonishment in their eyes could not be calmed.

Xia Xiao was smashed to the ground heavily, and Shi Yongkang also sank into the ground as the earth shattered, as if he was pressed into the abyss.

"this……"

Hall Master Ren didn't know whether to say whether Shi Yongkang won or lost. The Emperor Seal made a big noise, but its real power was only revealed after it was slapped. But before it was slapped, it was wrapped into a ball by Xia Xiao's strange trick. Then what? Just a strong air wave was enough? While he was angry, the academy laughed continuously because Xia Xiao made a fool of himself. But his strength was once again confirmed, and he could be called a real strong man!

"You still haven't mastered it well enough, otherwise the Emperor's Seal would be useless if you only gathered the water elements of heaven and earth. If you punch cotton with your fist, no matter how strong your strength is, there won't be much reaction even with enough cotton."

When Guan Zhongyi said this, Sun Zhonglei smiled and said:

"It's already very good. He was able to comprehend this move under such circumstances and actually perform it. It's already very good. He still has a long way to go, don't rush."

"Is this what you want me to do? This black dragon is too ugly, isn't it?"

Tianming frowned, and three very deep black lines appeared on his forehead. Even Fenglu would find such forehead wrinkles funny. But Ah Zhu had been looking for Xia Xiao. Where had he been blown up before? She stood on tiptoe. Although she could see very far away, there was one angle that she could not see.

Grabbing the stone chair where Sun Zhonglei was sitting with both hands, Ah Zhu climbed up and finally saw him.

In a pile of broken stones, Xia Xiao slowly sat up, his body covered in mud and blood, but he looked fine. Rubbing his head and hugging his shoulders, Xia Xiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was too careless. Although this vitality could be moved by him, he was too unfamiliar with it. It was like squatting in the toilet for too long. When he stood up, he couldn't walk anymore and couldn't feel his toes. But it was a bit unreasonable to shake himself away.

After sitting for several minutes, Xia Xiao stood up. He felt a little pain from the injuries all over his body, but Ju Mang in the pit hurt him more. Seeing him about to be crushed, Xia Xiao felt both distressed and amused. When a little smile appeared on his face, Ju Mang cried out a few times and cursed:

"What are you standing there for? Let me go back now, I'm going to die!"

The previous impact directly caused Ju Mang's chest armor to become like this, you can imagine how strong he is. If Ju Mang hadn't blocked it, Xia Xiao would be in more than just a mess. After Ju Mang left, Xia Xiao dragged a black and purple machete, held the big ball in the sky, and walked towards Shi Yongkang not far away.

Shi Yongkang was lying in the center of the pit, his body was broken, and he couldn't sit up. The previous air wave came from the sky, and even if he was standing on the ground, he was severely crushed. He felt his bones were broken, but he still tried to control the Emperor Seal. But the stone hand wrapped in the big ball did not respond. Shi Yongkang was anxious, sweating profusely, and his face was flushed, but he was helpless.

Seeing Xia Xiao coming, Shi Yongkang's voice was hoarse, and even if he tried his best, he couldn't make much sound, but he still shouted:

"What did you do?"

Xia Xiao shrugged, as if he had done nothing. He thought he could make a harmless expression, but this cold face did not fit the description. He also realized this, so he replied:

"You use the power of the earth, and I use the other four elements, that's it."

"How can you be so strong? How can you use such strong energy?"

Shi Yongkang didn't understand, but he didn't even have the strength to clench his fist. How could Xia Xiao, this monster, completely resolve the Emperor's Seal? Why? He couldn't figure it out. Was the gap between people so big? Was it because he came from afar that he could create such a big miracle?

To Shi Yongkang, this was a miracle, but to Xia Xiao, it was just a routine operation. He was even a little dissatisfied with his performance. Although this was his first time to perform the move, he had practiced it many times in secret. However, the energy he absorbed was too mixed and repelled each other. In the final analysis, it was because his skills were not good enough.
