“Your power is not enough, and cannot take in the Sun Crystal Seed. The person who sealed the Sun Crystal Seed must also have thought this,” Qing Lin continued, “But he probably would not have thought that you would come across a Sun Shen Temple.”
Zuo Mo’s eyes were perked up in fear of missing a word.
“The Sun Crystal Seed is the seed of the Sun Tribe’s totem and used to nurture the totem warriors of their tribe. The totem warriors were strong but they also had great constraints. Since the Sun Tribe is gone now, and so is the belief of the tribe members, there is no totem power, and you cannot become a totem warrior.”
Zuo Mo was instantly greatly disappointed. After all this, this stuff had lost its effect.
Seeing the disappointment on Zuo Mo’s face, Qing Ling couldn’t help smiling, “You may not be able to become a totem warrior, but the Sun Crystal Seed itself is a rare and precious treasure in our world. It naturally has its own extraordinary properties. Do you know how the Sun Crystal Seed forms?”
Zuo Mo finally became spirited again. “How does it form?”
“Each generation of totem warriors from the Sun Tribe would try all they can to go to those primitive worlds, or places of chaos to search for unformed suns. They would first seal them into crystals, and then forge them day and night using the power of belief. Fifty years later, it would become a Sun Crystal Seed.”
Zuo Mo gaped on hearing this.
An unformed sun … ..
Motherf***er, so ge is holding a little sun!
“Each Sun Crystal Seed is a priceless treasure! If the Sun Tribe did not fall and die out, how could this Sun Crystal Seed end up in the hands of someone else?” Speaking of this, Qing Lin became slightly emotional. He shook his head and then said, “Your luck is pretty good to be able to encounter such an object, and also a person that could seal this object. Now you have also encountered a Sun Shen Temple that has not disappeared. Maybe there really is fate.”
Seeing Zuo Mo’s shocked face, Qing Lin grinned. He had a pretty good feeling about Zuo Mo. This person seemed slippery of the tongue and slightly cunning but still had a pure heart.
“The belief power in this Sun Crystal Seed probably has dissipated. If another ten thousand years passes, it may form another sun. In the future, you have to remember not to reveal the fact you possess the Sun Crystal Seed to prevent a calamity from falling on you.”
Hearing this, Zuo Mo nodded furiously.
In the past, he only knew that this object was probably extraordinary, but he did not know how this was useful. After learning this, he finally understood how valuable of a gift the strange corpse had given him!
“Originally, the Sun Crystal Seed needs to be worshipped at the sacrificial altar before it can be absorbed. But the sacrificial altar in the shen temple has been abandoned for a long time. So we have to use a stupid method.”
As Qing Lin spoke, a jade-like water droplet suddenly condensed at his fingertip as he gently poked Zuo Mo’s forehead.
Boom!
Zuo Mo felt a coolness spread from his brow and roll downwards.
His entire body was unspeakably comfortable, and his mouth and nose was filled with the scent of fresh flora.
“This Greenvine Mystical Water is your big brother’s meeting gift to you,” Qing Lin said with a smile. His face was slightly pale. “It is very lacking compared to the Sun Crystal Seed, don’t look down at it.”
Zuo Mo was very moved. His nose became sore as he made a deep bow and said sincerely, “Big Brother!”
Qing Lin held him up and had a happy expression. “After muddling tens of thousands of years, I have no regrets in this life to encounter a brother again!” He then said, “This drop of Greenvine Mystical Water was a harvest from an old vine that was ten thousand years old. If Brother can absorb it well, it will be of great benefit.”
Zuo Mo could only nod dumbly. He suddenly took out a pile of treasures he usually treasured as though they were his life and said, “Big Brother, take a look. If there is something useful, please take it!”
“Oh, Brother has many good things,” Qing Lin said with a smile as he flipped through. “This broken arrow is probably the weapon of the totem warrior from the Archer Tribe. This broken bell should be the greatest treasure of the Eastern Water Tribe and is called the Celestial Bell. This black rock is the Nether Ghost Core, the greatest treasure of the Nether Ghost Tribe. It is a pity that this brother can just barely recognize them and I do not know how to use them.”
“This is all things I picked up from the Sealed Extinction Battlefield. My friend said that is the place many warriors died,” Zuo Mo said. These treasures had all been obtained when Zuo Mo had followed the strange corpse out of the Sealed Extinction Battlefield. They had gone through many places of death similar to the gold crystal sand sea. The strange corpse didn’t have much interest in these objects and gave them all to Zuo Mo.
“So that is the case!” Qing Lin nodded. “The Sealed Extinction Battlefield, as expected of the Battle of Sealed Extinction! The grave of so many warriors … …”
With a long sigh, Qing Lin pushed the objects in front of Zuo Mo. “This brother accepts Brother’s good intentions, but I will not be able to use these things. Brother, keep them on you and remember to not easily show them to others.”
Zuo Mo instantly said, “Big Brother, pick a few!”
“There really is no use.” Qin Lin pushed the objects back in front of Zuo Mo and said, “This brother does have something to request.”
“What? Big Brother, say it!” Zuo Mo said unhesitatingly.
“If Brother has free time in the future, can you go to this place to look. There may be descendents of mine here. If they are lucky and are still alive, Brother, please help look after them for me.” Qing Lin pointed again and Zuo Mo felt a jie map appear in his mind.
“Seas turn to mulberry fields, everything probably has changed. Shidi, do not deliberately go looking. If you encounter them, just giving them a helping hand and it is enough,” Qing Lin said.
“No problem!” Zuo Mo nodded heavily. He decided inside that he would definitely go to this place to search.
Qing Lin smiled slightly and reached out a hand. “Brother, lend the Sun Crystal Seed to me for use.”
Zuo Mo hurriedly gave the Sun Crystal Seed to Qing Lin’s hand.
At this time, a bright green light suddenly came from Qing Lin’s hand and wrapped around the Sun Crystal Seed, the other end of the light entangling around Zuo Mo!
Translator Ramblings: More history, more plot development, and … … Isn’t a feeling a great reason to want to kill someone?
Chapter 494: Awaken
The bright green light was tender and glistening as its threads burrowed into the Sun Crystal Seed.
The dim Sun Crystal Seed started to violently shake as though there was an ancient beast howling within it.
Qing Lin’s expression was grave, his black eyes extremely bright like the stars in the night sky. His green hair moved despite the lack of wind and floated freely.
The Sun Crystal Seed suddenly released a blinding light. Countless sharp golden energies suddenly shot out like swords!
The blinding red light flowed out of the Sun Crystal Seed following the green light and into Zuo Mo’s body.
Zuo Mo suddenly felt his mind explode. Countless burning flows that were like lava charged into his mind. A heart-tearing pain came from the bottom of his soul. He didn’t even have time to wail before he lost consciousness.
At the other end of the green light, Zuo Mo’s eyes were tightly closed, and clearly had fainted. His body floated uncontrollably in the air. The blinding red light shrouded Zuo Mo. It quickly found an opening and burrowed in through Zuo Mo’s mouth and nose.
This burst of red light came extremely quickly. In a blink, it burrowed completely into Zuo Mo’s body.
Zuo Mo’s hair suddenly started burning.
Flames shot out of Zuo Mo’s skin and in a blink, he became a person
of fire.
At this time, a thread of water suddenly rose from Zuo Mo’s dantian to combat the flames. It was the Greenvine Mystical Water that Qing Lin had gifted Zuo Mo.
The unordinary red light rampaged in Zuo Mo’s body and had suddenly encountered an enemy.
But this drop of mystical water was not ordinary either. Qing Lin had harvested it from a ten thousand year old vine. After being nurtured for tens of thousands of years, it was extremely pure. The Sun Crystal Seed was domineering, but since its owner had died tens of thousands of years ago, it was not maintained and was lacking compared to in its past.
With the improvement on one side and the degeneration on the other, the two were evenly matched at the moment.
The Sun Crystal Seed was forged from the embryo of a sun, and was naturally domineering. Even if it had been tens of thousands of years, and it was greatly damaged, this dominance had not disappeared.
Encountering a strong enemy, its dominance was stimulated and its fiery presence was released.
The fire on Zuo Mo’s body rose and shot up. A high temperature shockwave of air swept outwards with Zuo Mo as the center.
The enormous tree under their feet turned to dust. Everywhere the wave of air passed, the flora turned to dust and the ground started to melt.
“As expected of the Sun Crystal Seed!” Qing Lin laughed lightly. Looking at Zuo Mo’s face, his thoughts suddenly floated away and those distant and blurry memories seemed to gradually become clear in front of him as though they were swept of dust.
Brother … …
A young and unfamiliar face became clear in his mind.
The distant emotions instantly filled his heart. He turned his face and gazed at Zuo Mo’s unconscious face. That young and unfamiliar face in his heart seemed to gradually merge with Zuo Mo’s face.
His heart that had not moved for thousands of years seemed to be plucked.
He smiled.
He stretched out his right arm and pointed at the sky.
A shining dot of light suddenly appeared in the sky like a star lighting up!
A slender and straight golden pillar shot down, from the distant horizon, through the endless void of the firmament above their heads, with the glory of tens of thousands of years!
It shot rapidly towards the ground and the ray of light accurately struck the finger Qing Lin had raised up.
Boom!
A light sound that shook the surroundings!
Qing Lin’s body shook as though he was struck by lightning. A vast and writhing power suddenly expanded with him as the center!
Pia pia pia!
The enormous trees that were dozens of zhang thick were easily cut down as though they were slender rods. The wave of air was destructive and everywhere it passed, the ground rippled and trees flew.
All of Greenwood Secret Realm was violently shuddering!
Under the pure golden ray of light, Qing Lin’s eyes flashed with an unspeakable light like a burning star. That free smile carried contentment and warmth.
He did not tell Zuo Mo that he was the only defender of the four realms that had preserved his intelligence. The other three people’s minds had been lost through the thousands of years, and became monsters that only had instinct and murderous intent.
In the entire shen temple, he was the only one that had clarity of mind.
The loneliness of tens of thousands of years, how long it was!
He did not tell Zuo Mo when the Sun Shen Temple finished opening, the guardians of the realm like him would burn like the suns at the end of their lives, burning as never before, burning away their life!
He also did not tell Zuo Mo that in these tens of thousands of years, he had gone into every corner of the shen temple. The shen temple that only had him left meant that he could use a portion of the power of the shen temple.
Maybe this was fate. He could not stop the shen temple from activating. But this was also fate that he encountered a brother.
Tens of thousands of years … … it was long enough … …
Under the gold light, he smiled slightly!
The shen temple violently trembled, rocks rolling on the abandoned sacrificial altar. The shen scripts that were covered in dust and cobwebs lit up. The serene light started to pulse as well, quickly spreading to every corner of the shen temple. The entire shen temple started to tremble.
After sleeping for tens of thousands of years, the power that once represented the greatest glory of an era was woken from its deep slumber.
———
Just preparing to rest, Li Shu suddenly felt the ground under his feet tremble and couldn’t help but pause.
Earthquake?
Abruptly, he detected a peerlessly dominant presence suddenly explode nearby! This presence was absolutely dominant, the light like the sun in the middle of the day such that people were unable to face it directly.
Li Shu was astounded and hurried out of the room.
When he charged out of the room, the shocking scene in front of him stunned him completely!
———
“Don’t know?” the middle-aged man said urgently, “this time, I have spent a great price to get this piece of information. If I cannot find that treasure, it would be a great loss!”
The Masked Assassin sat woodenly without a word.
The middle-aged male was impatient but he didn’t dare to direct his anger at the Masked Assassin. He had a pained expression. He had originally thought that with the Masked Assassin present, it would be an easy task but this group of people with unknown origins popped up out of nowhere. He could not let it go.
At this time, the ground suddenly shuddered.
“What sort of place is this? They have earthquakes!” In a bad mood, the middle-aged male swore.
Suddenly, a peerlessly domineering presence exploded without warning. The pressure brought with the terrifying power was like an enormous stone on everyone’s chests, pushing them down uncomfortably.
The middle-aged male was greatly shocked. He was just going to ask the Masked Assassin when he found that the Masked Assassin had already disappeared.
He hurriedly charged out of the room. When he saw the figure of the Masked Assassin, he was slightly reassured.
When he directed his gaze towards the direction the power had erupted from, he seemed to be struck by lightning and stunned where he stood!
———
The enormous light pillar that was one hundred and fifty li in radius was continuously shrinking.
Everyone present had keen eyes, and instantly found it was continuously contracting, no, it was compressing! The golden light was becoming more condensed with every moment and even denser!
The golden light which had been pure became dark gold after being compressed.
The ground was trembling, violently trembling, and the pebbles continuously trembled and were thrown about as if they were jumping.
A deep and muffled sound came from the deep inside earth as though there was a monster howling underneath! Crack, half of a mountain range suddenly crumbled. Some xiuzhe with low cultivation were unable to escape in time and buried alive.
The xiuzhe all flew into the sky with terror on their faces. In the air, they could see more clearly. The hard ground was like mud at this time, as though there was an invisible hand that was easily molding it.
Everyone’s already ugly expressions became even whiter!
In front of such worldly power, their power was so minuscule and insignificant!
Li Shu was disheveled as he flew next to Elder Shen, “Elder, this is … …”
“Something definitely is happening in the shen hall!” Elder Shen said in a deep voice. He was also astounded inside, but he showed calmness on the outside. “Do not worry, the Sun Tribe had flourished for a time. It would be unusual if there wasn’t any disturbance when their shen temple opened.”
Hearing this, Li Shu was slightly reassured. He couldn’t help but praise, “Elder is right! This presence
is intimidating!”
Elder Shen snorted coldly, “Intimidating? The Sun Tribe has died out long ago, and even our sect’s great formation might also have such presence! Do not be frightened by these outdated and rotten powers!”
“This disciple understands!” Li Shu said hurriedly. It seemed that his words had caused Elder to be displeased. He hurriedly changed the topic. “Elder, do you think that someone has entered ahead of everyone?”
“Impossible!” Elder Shen shook his head. “The Sun Tribe is extremely closed off to outsiders, and thought of the world to be conquered by them. How can their shen temple allow others to enter? Unless the other is also of the Sun Tribe. But this is basically impossible. After the Battle of Sealed Extinction, all the warriors of the Sun Tribe fell, and they were attacked by the other tribes, and all died out. All of their shen temples were destroyed. This shen temple was able to avoid that fate because, it is very remote and few people knew of it. The other was the head priest at the time saw the situation and closed the shen temple from the inside world and sank it into the ground. Who can live for thousands of years?”
Li Shu was intoxicated on the words. With Elder’s few words, he depicted a vast ancient battle!
Suddenly, Elder Shen stopped, his gaze focusing tightly on the pillar of light.
The light pillar was compressed into ten li, fifteen times smaller than before!
It wasn’t like a pillar of light now, but a dark crimson and gold pillar that seemed tangible.
Suddenly, the lower end of the pillar started to disappear. No, it wasn’t disappearing, it was shrinking upwards.
Those who had keen eyes instantly exclaimed, “It is shrinking inwards!”
Those that were alerted looked closely. As said, the upper end of the pillar was also shrinking towards the middle at an astounding rate.
The scene was extremely strange. It was like a golden rod that had two ends that were shrinking back towards the middle and quickly became short.
Fantastical!
Everyone knew that this gold pillar wasn’t something substantial but a pillar of light! How could a pillar of light shrink from both ends?
What was going on?
