Volume 1 Small Town Boy Chapter 23 It's Dawn
"Now you don't have to worry about your life. The baby's voice sounded in my head, but there was a slight weariness in the words.
Ling Chen exhaled with relief, and finally came out of that sense of urgency. It felt like the whole person had been reborn.
Just as he was about to speak, the baby's voice said again, "But..."
"But what?" Ling Chen's heart sank. Could it be that he just came out of the tiger's mouth and entered the wolf pack?
"You're in a terrible state. Although the physical body has been nourished by spiritual power, most of the muscles and veins in the whole body have been broken, which is not something that can be repaired alone. Thanks to this, you don't soften into a puddle of mud now. Moreover, there are many bruises and dark injuries on the body... These must also be treated as soon as possible, otherwise you will die young before you become a strong person in the future. The baby said lightly.
Ling Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth and didn't answer. I thought to myself, this wisdom turned out to be a poisonous tongue.
"And..."The baby's voice reappeared in Ling Chen's mind.
Ling Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else?"
"When you passed the third test, you forcibly split the Yuan Shen in two. You were able to make this decision to die, and you succeeded. All I can say is that you have a lot of courage and luck. The baby said.
Ling Chen tugged at the corners of his mouth again, but he had already doubted it many times in his heart. Is this intelligence really okay?
"Therefore..."
"Can you finish it in one sentence?" Ling Chen interrupted directly.
"Ahem... Young people nowβ" the baby coughed. The strange tone and the immature face were filled with a strong sense of disobedience.
"Therefore, the wounds suffered by your primordial spirit are the most severe. And the other part has been destroyed, otherwise you can try to practice another meta-mystical method. But now, there is a high chance that your realm will stop because of this. The baby said in a solemn tone.
Ling Chen was silent, now that a part of the primordial gods in his sea of consciousness had stabilized, and there was no major problem. However, the wound will not heal completely after all, and there will be some small blemishes.
At this time, the baby said, "But don't worry, it's just that the problem is too bad at this stage." As long as I'm here, what else do you need to worry about?"
"Finally, I would like to tell you the most important thing, that if you leave here, I will have to sleep. I can only show up unless I'm in a place where the law is at its peak. At other times, once the slightest wisp of my breath appeared, the Heavenly Dao would punish or even ruthlessly kill me. Therefore, unless it is a mortal situation, do not call me. You have to remember!" said the baby. The seriousness in his tone was as if he had ever said something important.
Ling Chen nodded and said, "I'll remember." β
"By the way, what about my second uncle, has he been saved?" Ling Chen thought about it, remembering the safety of his second uncle, so he said.
"Thisβ" The baby paused.
"It's a bad situation. β
"What?!" Ling Chen was shocked.
"Tell me where it is?" he said, running briskly towards the valley in the valley.
The burden of his body and the exhaustion of his spirit, Ling Chen really wanted to fall down like this. But he can't, the second uncle, who is better than his father, has taught himself meticulously for fourteen years and pulled himself for fourteen years. Without him, Ling Chen really didn't know what to do in the future. After all, he's just a kid...
Running, Ling Chen's eyes were already a little moist. Keep moving forward, and finally leave the valley in the valley.
But the next moment, Ling Chen stopped and stared blankly ahead.
The ice blue that caught the eye was so dazzling even in the dark.
"This..."Ling Chen muttered as he looked at this scene in surprise.
"It's like the sealing beast inside you was the brainchild of your body. Although I don't know where it came from, it's not hard to see that it's the top powerhouse in this world. I don't think your path will be smooth in the future. The baby said.
Ling Chen didn't have time to pay attention to what the baby said, because the scene in front of him had already shocked him beyond measure.
Everywhere the eye could reach, it was frozen in ice. It's a snow-white world that stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles. The Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts from earlier can no longer see what it used to be.
"Second uncle... Second Uncle ......" Ling Chen muttered to himself, and rushed towards the endless ice field in front of him.
"Wait!" the baby stopped Ling Chen, but to no avail, he still rushed forward desperately.
"It's really ......" The baby was quite annoyed, but a gesture appeared in his hand, as if it was sealing.
The next moment, an aura appeared under Ling Chen's feet. His feet seemed to be one with the earth at this time, and he couldn't move a single bit.
And Ling Chen still waved his hands without giving up, trying to move forward, he was about to lose his mind.
"Calm down! With your current strength, as long as you get even the slightest closer, you will be wiped out by the aftermath. The baby shouted, and although the voice was still yin and yang, it exploded like a thunderbolt in the sea of Ling Chen.
Interrupted by this sound, Ling Chen gradually calmed down. With tears in his eyes, he muttered, "What should I do......?"
"Underneath the ice, there's a Guardian Seal. With it, I can keep you safe for the time being. But in a quarter of an hour, you have to be back here. Otherwise, your life will be at risk. Also, when I'm outside, I'll seal myself away, and I won't be able to talk to you anymore, remember. The baby said solemnly.
Hearing this, Ling Chen nodded silently.
The next moment, a little starlight appeared around Ling Chen, making his figure a little illusory.
"Let's go. The baby said in the sea of dust. And in an instant, it formed a cocoon and enveloped it.
Ling Chen rushed out, and on the frozen earth, he only felt that his body had become no longer real. Before he could have it, Ling Chen looked left and right, looking for Ling Tianze's figure everywhere.
The area covered was too large, and Ling Chen could only rely on his first memories to discern the terrain and landforms. "No, no ......" searched everywhere, but there was no trace of Ling Tianze. Seeing that a quarter of an hour was approaching, Ling Chen was already a little flustered.
It's rugged, like a rocky mountain, and it's sharper and colder.
Ling Chen walked past a seemingly ordinary ice block, and suddenly, Ling Chen wanted to get something, and retreated again. After a while, Ling Chen took out an iron sword from the spatial ring and slammed it towards the ice cube.
"Zheng"
A crisp sound of gold and iron resounded from the blade of the sword, and the iron sword was catapulted several meters away, but there was not a single trace left on the ice.
Ling Chen, I didn't expect this ice to be so hard. But now there is no other way, I saw him quickly step forward, pick up the iron sword on the ground, and slash at the solid ice again.
Time passed bit by bit, and Ling Chen still didn't make the slightest progress, just staring at the piece of ice and slashing violently, with no intention of retreating at all.
Just as the time was about to come, the entire ice surface collapsed, and the cracks scattered in all directions. In the blink of an eye, the pieces of ice had become ice foam, dissipating in the air.
And a middle-aged man also appeared in front of Ling Chen's eyes.
Although he didn't know what was going on, Ling Chen immediately rushed forward, picked up the middle-aged man and stepped back.
Putting the middle-aged man on the ground, Ling Chen said, "How long will it take for my second uncle to wake up?"
"Right now. The baby's voice rang out again.
And in the next moment, the middle-aged man opened his originally closed eyes.
It was a black-haired teenager who was shining in his eyes at this time, and he was looking at the middle-aged man with excitement.
Seeing this, the man had already guessed what had happened. His illusory face showed a hint of relief, and said, "Chen'er, you have grown up." β
"Huh?" Ling Chen was slightly surprised, in his opinion, the second uncle's first sentence should be to congratulate himself on his success.
"In the future, you must go on alone. Han Shuo is a good boy, if you have any problems in the future, you can tell your eldest brother, you know?" Ling Tianze said.
"Hmm, second uncle, what's wrong with you?" Ling Chen asked suspiciously.
"He's dying. Short words came out of the baby's mouth, without the slightest emotion. "So you better listen well. β
At this time, Ling Chen's heart throbbed, as if he was about to lose something important.
"Your secrets are now known, and the second uncle respects your thoughts, but I still don't want you to carry the burden of revenge. It's good that the second uncle can watch you live happily. β
"Purple Soul is a good boy, and he has to do what he promises others. To be a man, you must dare to take responsibility. β
"Two years ago, you told me you wanted to do a martial arts cultivator. Even though I know you're gifted in Dharma, I didn't stop you. The road is walked out by oneself, and blindly imitating is just following the path of others. I hope that one day, you will be able to find your own way. β
"If you choose the path of the strong in the future, whether I am here or not, I will only provide you with the most basic help. Relying on others is a big taboo in the spiritual world. Only when you are strong is you the most credible. β
As he spoke, Ling Tianze's body became more and more illusory, as if it would dissipate at any time.
Fourteen years ago, Ling Tianze escaped from the spatial turbulence and came to a remote town in the Southern Wasteland, and has been incognito ever since. How he wished that life would go on like this. Seeing his nephew marry and have children, the family is happy. But all this is just a fantasy, he must save his nephew, even if it is life. Therefore, he would rather lose the world with his own selfishness.
Time flies really fast, fourteen years in the blink of an eye. He incarnated as a "great" earth seal master in the eyes of others, helping people hunt beasts. In his spare time, he guides Ling Chen's cultivation. No one would have thought that a pinnacle who was originally based on heaven and earth would be willing to give up glory and become cloth.
The dust that worries him the most is now grown up and sensible. He was relieved.
Recalling the past, Ling Tianze muttered with relief: "Big brother, third brother, Huan Zhi was a dying person early, and he should have come to accompany you as soon as possible, but he couldn't live up to your request. Today, my wish has been fulfilled, and I will come down to accompany you. β
As he spoke, Ling Tianze's originally dim body suddenly burst into a dazzling light, illuminating the darkness. Moreover, his body flew high into the sky, dazzling like a round of sun.
"Hahahaha!" In the light, Ling Tianze's laughter came out.
"I, Ling Huanzhi, have neither clumsy thorns nor heirs in this life. To have an excellent nephew like you, I have no regrets in this life. The voice echoed in the world for a long time, which is enough to make people taste the freedom and uninhibitedness in it. However, how many people can understand the sourness in it......
Rumble!
The light in the sky exploded, and the rain of light covered the entire world.
His brilliant life ended here. Ling Chen stared at the sky blankly, and the dissipated light and rain were like fireworks for a moment. He couldn't believe it, laughing self-deprecatingly. Two lines of clear tears, sliding down his cheeks.
"A man cannot be resurrected from death...", the infant should be comforted.
"You have a way to save him, don't you?" Ling Chen muttered.
"Huh?" the baby should have bewildered.
"Yes, you must have a way to save him! You're so strong, there must be a way. Ling Chen yelled, feeling like he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"I'm sorry, I wish I had. The baby said in a deep voice.
"You lie! You must have a way! There must be a way!" Ling Chen couldn't control his emotions anymore and burst into tears.
The baby is silent, and it is best to let him vent alone at this time.
Here, the boy's desperate cry sounded.
The darkness of the night slowly sheds the cloak that envelops the world. Dawn came.
"Don't be sad about my departure, child. Wiping away tears, dawn, and a new beginning will be. Above the void, the familiar voice came again.
Ling Chen slowly raised his head and looked at the sky. That touch of red is illuminating the world and illuminating the heart.
"Dawn...," Ling Chen muttered, looking at the slowly rising red sun.
