And this disintegration continues...
Huang Quan naturally knew that the wall could not stop the black flames. The purpose of the wall was only to buy time, and even if the time was short, it would be enough!
At this moment, Huang Quan gripped the Great Evil Sword and closed his eyes. But the instant he opened them again, two snowflakes appeared in his eyes!
"Adding insult to injury!"
As they murmured, the snowflakes in the sky vanished in an instant. But the disappearance of the snowflakes did not mean they disappeared; instead, they transformed into countless wisps of cold air, instantly enveloping the entire red sky!
"Freeze!!"
As soon as Huang Quan gave the order, the cold air immediately condensed into a solid form, creating a layer of white ice, and on the surface of this ice, a layer of white frost appeared!
At that moment, the entire sky was rapidly covered by frost. Everything—clouds, colors—was contained within the frost and stopped moving…
The sky was frozen, so everything was calm!
At this moment, the black flames completely broke through the nine ice walls, but just as it was about to touch the Yellow Springs, it too turned into ice under the cold air!
Huang Quan stared at the black flames and breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, because he was at close range, he realized that the high temperature of the black flames was beyond human perception and could be said to have exceeded the temperature range!
Similarly, if his move hadn't been so powerful, he would have faced some trouble even if his opponent couldn't kill him.
At this moment, Huang Quan looked at the frozen sky, steadied himself, and once again swung the Great Evil Sword...
With this wave, all the frost vanished, and everything covered by the frost also disappeared...
This includes the red power in the sky, and the black flames...
Everything returned to normal in an instant, just like a dream!
Bang! !
Then, the Fiery Flame, which had been merged with Yan Tian, suddenly fell from the sky, severely injured and unconscious!
However, Huang Quan didn't care about these things. He simply walked slowly to Lie Sheng Yan's side, and with a gentle wave of his left hand, he froze Lie Sheng Yan into a lifeless ice sculpture, then put him directly into his spatial bottle.
The space bottle cannot hold living people, which is why Huang Quan has to do some work. But Lie Sheng Yan is not dead. As long as Huang Quan breaks free from the ice, it won't be difficult for him to come back to life, given his strength.
The reason Huang Quan wanted to hide him was because he had heard something that interested him before he appeared.
After Huang Quan finished doing all this, Liu Xin and the sect leader appeared before him, both heavily injured and very weak.
However, the sect leader didn't say much. After sighing, he chose to leave, leaving Liu Xin alone, standing with Huang Quan.
After a moment of silence, Huang Quan finally spoke: "I'm sorry."
After speaking, he disappeared.
And Liu Xin shed a tear at the summit of Tianmo Peak.
This place is where they met.
This place also separated them.
That's it.
A day later, it was still the same mountain not far from Tianmo Peak.
Inside a simple cave opened up by the Yellow Springs.
Lie Shengyan lost all his cultivation under Huang Quan's deliberate actions, including the wisp of remnant soul within him.
He became an ordinary person.
"What do you want to know?" Lie Shengyan asked Huang Quan expressionlessly.
"The location of that ruin," Huang Quan replied.
"Hmph, kill me then!" Lie Shengyan sneered.
Huang Quan was silent for a moment, then said, "If I told you I had a way to let you see your wife again, would you say so?"
Upon hearing this, Lie Shengyan's eyes narrowed, seemingly incredulous. However, he quickly calmed down and even sneered, saying, "Don't joke around. Even a Heavenly Monarch cultivator cannot resurrect a person."
“I know, so I’m not trying to resurrect your wife. I’m saying… that I can let you see your wife again,” Huang Quan said earnestly.
"Hmm?" Lie Shengyan asked, puzzled.
"I know the art of time travel and can temporarily send you back to the past. Are you willing?" Huang Quan asked again.
"The Art of Time...?" Lie Shengyan hesitated slightly, but judging from his expression, it was clear that he was already interested.
“Yes! It’s the art of time.” Huang Quan nodded.
Upon hearing this, Lie Shengyan remained silent for a few moments, seemingly conflicted. However, he quickly suppressed his hesitation and said, "Besides letting me tell you the location of the ruins, what other conditions do you have?"
Lie Shengyan wasn't stupid. He knew that even if a powerful figure like Huang Quan were to forcibly search his soul, there wouldn't be any problems. But Huang Quan didn't do that and instead spared his life. This made him wonder if Huang Quan had other purposes besides the ruins.
In fact, from the moment Huang Quan first saw Lie Shengyan, he had already noticed that Lie Shengyan possessed the same aura as himself. This aura clearly originated from the true technique within his body. Recalling the past, he had heard Liu Xin mention that this true technique came from a mysterious ruin. Therefore, he had a guess that Lie Shengyan had been to that ruin, and at the same time, he became interested in that ruin.
The reason he didn't ask Liu Xin was because he really didn't want these important people involved in his affairs anymore. Although the Tree of Time no longer carried out the cycle of cause and effect, he could truly feel that his fate had not changed.
In addition, Huang Quan is currently in a phase where he wants to frantically improve his strength, so he doesn't want to let go of any possibility.
"Any other conditions?" Huang Quan thought for a moment and then said, "For me, I don't have any other conditions, but for you who are going to experience the passage of time, conditions are not the point, but there are requirements."
"Requirements? What requirements?" Lie Shengyan frowned and asked.
"First, with my current strength, I can only let you stay in the past for an hour at most. So after an hour, no matter how unwilling you are, I will bring you back..."
"Secondly, you come from the future, so you cannot have any communication with people from the past. Simply put, even if you meet your wife, you cannot speak to her, or even let her see you..."
"We can't talk, we can't meet?" Lie Shengyan said with some dissatisfaction.
“To be precise, you can see her, but he can’t see you,” Huang Quan corrected. “Of course, if you don’t want to and insist on talking to her, I will forcibly stop you.”
Lie Shengyan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if a hint of emotion had surfaced. However, he understood that the passage of time was no trivial matter, and these requests were not unreasonable. So, after calming himself down, he asked again, "Anything else?"
"That's all. Go in peace and come back in peace. From now on, live your life as an ordinary person! As for revenge, forget about it! I don't think having too much bloodlust is a good thing." Huang Quan murmured, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of the end of the Asura Path and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
He knew this was a side effect of merging the power of nine lifetimes, but he also knew it was a stage he had to go through, after all, his past life was also his life.
Upon hearing Huang Quan's words, Lie Shengyan sighed helplessly and said with great clarity, "Even if I wanted revenge, I couldn't do it in my current state!"
Huang Quan didn't reply, but calmed himself down and said softly, "Alright! Let's end our chat here! So... are you ready?"
"Hehe! Do I need to prepare anything?" Lie Shengyan asked in return, but his tone was somewhat self-deprecating.
Without further thought, Huang Quan's eyes lit up, and he simultaneously activated his spiritual power and evil energy. Then, he calmly raised his left hand and gently waved it towards Lie Sheng Yan. In the next instant, the scenery in Lie Sheng Yan's eyes underwent a tremendous change.
He arrived in a world, a strange world.
This world has mountains, water, and forests; it's beautiful, and the gentle breeze is enough to make one feel refreshed. But the only drawback is that there are no wild animals, no people, and no creatures that can move freely.
Because this is an incomplete world created by Huang Quan, there are some things he cannot create yet. Being able to achieve what he has achieved is actually his limit.
However, Lie Shengyan was unaware of this. He thought that Huang Quan had already begun the art of time travel and that he had returned to the past. He was completely astonished, but amidst this astonishment, he was also a little nervous and expectant.
The reason why Huang Quan used this creation technique is also clear: due to some special circumstances, he cannot use his time-manipulation technique on the True Profound Continent, so he has to change his location, or rather, change his world.
Huang Quan did not tell Lie Sheng Yan about the affairs of this world, but silently began the true art of time.
The world changes rapidly, from day to night, and then from night to day. Everything happens in the blink of an eye, and several years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Because the Tree of Time has acknowledged Huang Quan, he can make his world reflect the years of the True Profound Continent, including people and things. However, these people and things do not exist from a certain perspective; it's just that no one in this world can see through them.
That's right, Huang Quan lied, and to make the lie more believable, he even tore off two requests that never existed in the first place.
But this lie was only half true, because he did indeed allow Lie Shengyan to see his wife.
Chapter 233 The Person Behind It
After daylight comes night.
Lie Shengyan left.
Huang Quan also left.
They went in different directions: Huang Quan went east, and Lie Sheng Yan went west. The former had already learned the location of the ruins from the latter, so the two had no further contact and perhaps would never meet again.
But on this journey, he passed by Li Mozong, which reminded him of something.
He had promised Xuan Tianzun when he was in the Imperial Demon Realm that he would bring his ashes back to the Li Mo Sect. However, he had been busy with other matters and had not had the time to fulfill his promise. Fortunately, he finally had the time now.
The Li Mo Sect is very different from what it used to be. Although the grandeur of the sect's gate is still there, it always feels like something is missing.
Huang Quan's arrival went unnoticed. Under the cover of night and the bright moonlight, he concealed his presence. With his current strength, it was impossible for anyone in the Li Mo Sect to discover him unless he made himself known.
For example, at this very moment, he took the initiative to appear on the main peak of the Heavenly Lineage, in Li Mo's cultivation chamber, and right in front of Li Mo.
Li Mo, who was originally sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed to rest, suddenly changed his expression after sensing Huang Quan's aura. He opened his eyes abruptly, and his fear was clearly revealed.
He stood up and moved about ten meters away from Huang Quan. Perhaps it was because it was too dark, perhaps it was because Huang Quan's changes made him unrecognizable, perhaps it was because Huang Quan's appearance in this way was too terrifying, or perhaps it was because all three of the above reasons were true. So at that moment, his cultivation at the late stage of the Zhouyou Realm began to operate frantically, as if he was preparing to fight Huang Quan.
"Who is it?" Staring intently at Huang Quan in the darkness, Li Mo narrowed his eyes and asked sternly.
Upon seeing this, Huang Quan scoffed and replied, "Sect Master...you've gone too far."
Upon hearing Huang Quan's voice, Li Mo was taken aback at first, then his thoughts raced, and he immediately began searching his mind for someone who matched the voice. As expected of the sect leader of Li Mo Sect, he found the answer in just three breaths.
"You are... Huang Quan?!" Li Mo exclaimed in surprise.
"Hehehe!" Huang Quan laughed again, "Yes, it's been many years. How have you been, Sect Master?"
Perhaps intentionally, Huang Quan waved his left hand lightly at this point, using the fire power of the Five Elements Li Mo Technique to create a small flame in the dark sky, which directly illuminated the secret room and revealed his own appearance.
However, Li Mo did not lower his guard after seeing Huang Quan. He knew that Huang Quan's strange appearance here, without even disturbing the others in Li Mo Sect, proved that Huang Quan must have something to do. But he could not guess whether it was good or bad, so how could he relax?
"How did you end up here?" After calming himself down a bit, Li Mo asked directly.
Huang Quan didn't waste any more words, simply replying, "I've come to deliver something."
However, Huang Quan found it a bit strange, because he thought of someone, someone he should have thought of long ago, but never thought of: the prophet who plays a key role in the cycle of cause and effect.
The reason Li Mo taught the Five Elements Li Mo Technique was because of a prophecy by a certain prophet. The reason Zhang Shen was able to devise the decisive battle was also because of the words of a certain prophet. These two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but Huang Quan felt that there was an inexplicable connection between them.
So, in order to resolve this doubt, he contacted the Tree of Time in his mind and asked the question, but the explanation he received from the Tree of Time was extremely vague, as if the Tree of Time itself could not answer it.
The matter of cause and effect, and the person who controls cause and effect, may not know everything. Cause and effect are inherently uncontrollable. As long as the final result remains unchanged, and as long as this cause and effect is not affected, then the person who controls cause and effect will not care about any other things that happen in this cause and effect. This is the explanation of the Tree of Time.
The Tree of Time is the consciousness of the True Profound Continent, so Huang Quan, who has gained the Tree of Time's recognition, can naturally contact the Tree of Time from any location on the True Profound Continent.
However, although his words made sense, Huang Quan was still somewhat uneasy. He had sensed this person from the void after experiencing the cycle of cause and effect, and he did not think that this feeling was really so simple.
However, he also understood that there was no point in thinking about it now. After all, he only knew that this person existed, and he had almost no other information. So, instead of wasting time solving a mystery that was not easy to solve, he would rather focus on improving his own strength.
