Volume 4: The Game of the Gods Chapter 21 A Life of Busyness for Beauty
After Mo Yi flashed out of the ice room, he returned to the hall of the Ice Palace. The empty Ice Palace was almost empty except for several huge ice pillars and a large ice block about three meters high in each of the four corners.
Mo Yi looked around and felt that there was something strange in the center of the ice palace. He could vaguely sense that there was a wave of spiritual power coming from the center. If it were someone else, they would probably choose to turn around and leave or carefully test it for a while before slowly approaching the center, but who is this young master? Mo Yi, who is fearless and likes to find death when he has nothing to do. So, he strode towards the center of the spiritual power without hesitation.
He was dressed in green, had a handsome face, and exuded an air of dominance.
Who else could it be except Zhuo Ao, the master who bravely faced thousands of troops on Yonghui City that day?
Mo Yi was not surprised by the sudden appearance of the phantom in front of him. He just squinted his eyes slightly, staring at the other person with his bottomless black eyes, examining his appearance carefully, as if he was looking for something in common between himself and this person.
Zhuo Ao obviously saw through Mo Yi's thoughts. He still stood with his hands behind his back, showing a mocking expression: "Don't guess blindly, I'm not your father, I don't want a stupid son like you!"
Mo Yi was not annoyed by the other party's calm confession of his inner thoughts. He raised his eyebrows calmly and curled his lips: "Then why did you go to such great lengths to bring me here?"
"Han Yan has stayed here alone for five hundred years. I'm afraid she'll be lonely." Zhuo Ao's gaze passed through Mo Yi and looked deeply at the ice room behind him. His eyes were distant and full of nostalgia.
"Thank you so much. It's our great honor to have you, a great master, worry about us mother and son." Hearing Zhuo Ao calling his mother's name so affectionately and using such loving and affectionate words made Mo Yi feel inexplicably irritated. He couldn't help but make a few sarcastic remarks.
"Don't flatter yourself. If it weren't for the 'Heavenly Stone', I wouldn't bother with you!" Zhuo Ao instantly retracted his inappropriate thoughts, changed the subject, and revealed his real purpose.
"'Heavenly Stone'? What is that?" Mo Yi repeated subconsciously, but he had no idea what the 'Heavenly Stone' that Zhuo Ao was talking about was. Why would he bother this generation's master to mind his business?
"You don't need to know so much. I just want to ask you one question. If I have a way to bring your mother back to life, would you be willing to lend a hand?" Zhuo Ao had a solemn look on his face, but the words he spoke were like thunderclaps out of a blue sky!
At this moment, Mo Yi's mind exploded with a buzzing sound. What was he saying? Did he hear it wrong? Even if the other party was a great master, bringing a person who had been dead for 500 years back to life was something that only a god could do, right?
But looking at Zhuo Ao's expression, he didn't seem to be joking. Mo Yi suddenly turned around and looked at the ice room behind him, his face suddenly changed! No wonder my mother's remains were still so well preserved, as if she was sleeping. Could it be that Zhuo Ao had been planning this since five hundred years ago?
Although he felt it was a bit shocking, Mo Yi could not find any reason to refuse. That was his mother. If he could bring her back to life, as a son, what was there to fear, even if he had to go through fire and water? Zhuo Ao must have expected this, so he went to such great pains to find him, right? And all the things that happened before were just tests for him by Zhuo Ao? Tests to see if his strength was up to the task?
"What do you need me to do?" After figuring this out, Mo Yi simply agreed.
"Protect a person until the Heavenly Stone emerges from her body." For some reason, when Zhuo Ao said this, he deliberately avoided looking at Mo Yi.
"Is the 'Heavenly Stone' the key to bringing people back to life?" Mo Yi was such a smart man that he understood the key to the problem in a flash. However, he frowned and said, "What about you? With your cultivation, it would be easy for you to protect someone. Why do you have to go through so much trouble to ask me for help?"
“Do you think it’s so easy to resurrect a person? Not only does it require the Heavenly Stone, but it also requires the Moon Essence from Penglai Fairyland. I’ve been lurking there for five hundred years, but I still haven’t succeeded.” Zhuo Ao’s last nonchalant words almost made Mo Yi gasp.
Penglai wonderland!
That was the legendary fairy land independent of the Netherworld. Those who lived there were all real fairies. Zhuo Ao had actually set his sights on going there. Only then did Mo Yi realize how determined he was. Compared with him, the task he had assigned to himself was really insignificant. At this time, Mo Yi finally understood where Zhuo Ao really went. It turned out that he was not dead, and he had even gone to the Penglai Fairyland. So, what he saw now was the phantom transformed by his spirit, right?
"But how could that sky stone emerge from a human body? And who should I protect?" Mo Yi finally remembered the issues he should be concerned about.
"You don't need to know so much now. Everything is predestined by God. Since you are willing to help me, I will teach you everything I have learned in my life. When you have achieved some success, it will not be too late to tell you."
Before Mo Yi could react to how the other party was going to pass on his lifelong learning to him, he saw Zhuo Ao gesture with one hand, and in the blink of an eye, Mo Yi's already tattered clothes suddenly turned into ashes, and a black ice silk robe instantly covered Mo Yi's body. Mo Yi felt an indescribable sense of comfort all over his body, as if the ice silk robe was continuously absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and injecting it into his body.
The art of 'Mirror Flower Water Moon' is the culmination of the magic of heaven and earth...
The technique of 'vast sea of clouds'...
The 'Tianlong' gathers the vitality of the five elements and emits the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It can open the sky above and destroy the world below. It is unmatched and invincible, extremely strong and powerful...
Mo Yi suddenly understood that Zhuo Ao really intended to pass on all he had learned throughout his life to him. However, the master of that generation spent his entire life to learn martial arts, and he actually wanted to make him master it in a short period of time? This was a bit too far-fetched, wasn't it?
Do I have to have an epiphany here?
Just as he was about to ask Zhuo Ao something, he found that Zhuo Ao's shadow had disappeared long ago, and the voice also disappeared after reciting those incantations.
The ice palace returned to its ten thousand years of silence, leaving Mo Yi standing stupidly in the center of the palace, at a loss as to what to do.
Suddenly, thousands of brilliant lights burst out from the ground beneath his feet, and then several auspicious clouds slowly rose from under his feet, imprisoning his body in them. Almost at the same time, Mo Yi fiercely plunged the tip of Zhan Longyin's blade into the auspicious clouds. An ice-blue light curtain instantly protected his body and enveloped the cloud platform formed by the auspicious clouds.
"It's the 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation'! If you don't take what heaven gives you, you will suffer the consequences! Quick, sit down, regulate your breath and comprehend it!" The voice of the Canglong in the Zhanlongyin came urgently. Mo Yi didn't have time to think about it. He thought that the Canglong was now one with him and would not harm him.
As soon as Fang sat down, he realized that what Zhuo Ao said about passing on all his life's learning to him was really true. It was not only the previous mantras, but this 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation' that was the real secret!
This was artificially creating a condition for him to have an epiphany. Mo Yi could even feel the endless supply of the five elements of heaven and earth emanating from the several auspicious clouds beneath him. It seemed that all the power of heaven and earth was beneath him, ready for him to pluck from it, endlessly and inexhaustibly!
This is simply a quick way to create a god!
The right time, the right place, and the right people - everything is in place!
Mo Yi was originally a martial arts genius, and his ability to comprehend martial arts was superior to that of ordinary people. He understood Zhuo Ao's lifelong learning, which would take a mortal a lifetime to master, in just a few days. Except for Tianlong, Zhuo Ao's most proud martial arts skill, Mo Yi had learned most of the rest .
However, everything in this world has two sides. Although this 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation' gathers the five elements of heaven and earth and is extremely beneficial for the enlightenment of martial arts, it is also an extremely dangerous formation. Although the five elements of heaven and earth complement each other, they also conflict with each other.
When Mo Yi was comprehending what Zhuo Ao had learned in his life, he naturally wanted to absorb the five elements of energy, but he could not absorb all of it into his body. If he practiced fire techniques, he could only absorb the fire energy. The rest of the unnecessary energy had to be suppressed by his own spiritual power so that it would not jump around. If he was not careful, the absorbed five elements of energy would be mixed together, resulting in his body exploding and his soul being destroyed!
But Zhuo Ao is a genius. He has learned all five elements in his life. The Heavenly Dragon is a gold-related technique, while the Mirror Flower and Water Moon is a water-related technique. As a result, Mo Yi's biggest daily practice is to play games with the five elements.
Moreover, this is nothing. The most terrible thing is that the 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation' has been like an invisible cage since the moment he entered the formation. It has trapped Mo Yi in the formation and made him almost unable to move. Apart from practicing enlightenment every day, he could only practice enlightenment. Mo Yi then realized that the key to the 'Xuanluo Dengyun Formation' was to trap himself here. He had to learn whether he wanted to or not. Once he entered the formation, he lost his personal freedom and had no choice at all.
After several days of communication with Canglong, Mo Yi had basically accepted his fate. It seemed that Zhuo Ao had planned this from the beginning. Unless he learned everything that Zhuo Ao had learned in his life, he would never be able to get out of this "Xuanluo Dengyun Formation" in his lifetime.
At this moment, I felt sad in my heart. I really didn’t know what Zhuo Aoan was thinking!
And the blue dragon actually wanted to add insult to injury, it even said to Mo Yi with a hint of sarcasm: "I think the guy called Zhuo Ao is more like your father than your father."
