Wish Only I am the type of person who would rather break than bend, with an extremely sharp character.

The Mo family in Buyu City nearly broke him, but luckily he survived. Yet, he didn’t become timid because of it, nor did he become “mature” and “sober” as people might have imagined.

It was like a firearm that had misfired but could still fire again, though it hadn’t become dull.

He quietly wiped the edge of his weapon, just as he had done in the Zhuang Yong battlefield when raising his gun to pull down a city, and just as he had done the night before going to kill Zhuang Gaoxian.

At this moment, Jiang Shidi’s voice came from ahead:

“The Xuehe Sect is right at Kuhai Cliff, Wish Shixiong, we can also be considered to have reached the edge of the sky.”

Wish Only I didn’t speak, just smiled vaguely.

The black wind and snow covered the sky.

It couldn’t stain the corner of Chongxuan Zun’s clothing.

He stood quietly on the peak of the mountains, watching that mountain-range-like Poor Strange gallop over with huge strides, turning the mountains into one pit after another.

This scene wasn’t beautiful, but he seemed to be appreciating it.

He could appreciate wisdom, and he could also appreciate barbarism.

Good and evil, beauty and ugliness, sorrow and joy, all divisions in the human world, in his view, didn’t need to be too clear. They were all just… scenery by the roadside, that’s all.

“This is truly a very stupid evil beast. It has immense strength, surging blood essence, and a long lifespan.” Kou Xuejiao’s left hand was pulling the heaven-connecting Hongchen thread, and her right hand held a vermilion-red sheathed long sword. Her gaze looked into the distance of the black wind and snow. “How could it know what it would encounter?”

“Probably.” Chongxuan Zun’s lips curved in a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

“You are so young and already possess this kind of strength, this kind of bearing. I truly admire you greatly.” Kou Xuejiao sighed and said, “When I was your age, I was still only in the Shenlin Realm. In the Disaster Water Trial, I encountered a Dongzhen level evil sight, and I escaped for seven days and seven nights… only to be found by my master. Those were truly torturous seven days. I kept thinking I had to persevere, but I didn’t know where the strength came from… Was it because I still had ideals to realize? Perhaps I just didn’t want to die.”

Chongxuan Zun extended his fair and powerful hand, spreading his five fingers, and pressed remotely. Innumerable moonlight beams fell from the sky, instantly forming a prison that fixed the madly running fierce Poor Strange in mid-air, solidifying it in a leaping posture.

The Poor Strange roared angrily and struggled with all its might. That pair of horns with spiral patterns emitted crackling electric light. Power as vast as the sea surged within its mountain-range-like muscles… The Moon Prison shook!

Chongxuan Zun’s palm was flat and pressed gently downwards.

Terrifying Chongxuan power was added to the evil beast’s body, instantly pressing it down onto the mountain ridge, pressing out a giant pit!

The Poor Strange couldn’t move, its voice also buried by mud and stone.

A line of moonlight, like a knife, traced along the Poor Strange’s spine. Suddenly, a flick — a drop of red gem-like essence blood flew out, avoiding the wind and snow under the isolation of the knife energy, and fell into Chongxuan Zun’s hand.

Red blood in his palm, wind and snow separated.

He quietly looked at it for a moment before retracting it. He casually flicked the corner of his clothes and said leisurely, “Regarding persistence, I don’t understand it very well. The choices I make, I enjoy them all, there’s no need to grit my teeth and persevere. Perhaps you and Jiang Wang will have a common language.”

“Jiang Wang?” Kou Xuejiao was startled, then shook her head with a bitter smile. “A true son of heaven like you probably won’t understand. Many things we have to desperately fight for to possess. But everything is within your reach…”

Chongxuan Zun said calmly, “Anyone who can achieve the truth, who is not a son of heaven?”

Kou Xuejiao murmured, “But there are also gaps between sons of heaven and sons of heaven. Some geniuses appear every ten years, some sons of heaven appear once in ten thousand years.”

Chongxuan Zun didn’t speak, but suddenly let out a light laugh.

“What is the Champion Marquis laughing at?” Kou Xuejiao asked.

Chongxuan Zun said casually, “I just suddenly thought, if Dou Zhao or Jiang Wang heard this sentence of yours, how would they respond.”

“How would they respond?”

“Dou Zhao would say, what ten thousand years one out bullshit, a person like me, from ancient times to now, there won’t be a second one.”

“What about Jiang Wang?”

“He divides people,” Chongxuan Zun said. “If you are his friend, he will laugh heartily and say you are finally not blind. If you are his elder, he will say, I have received the compliment, I will strive to live up to this sentence.”

“What if he is his enemy?” Kou Xuejiao asked.

Chongxuan Zun said, “Then he won’t waste words with you.”

“What about you?” Kou Xuejiao asked.

Chongxuan Zun lightly hooked the corner of his mouth, appearing serious and joking at the same time. “You haven’t reached the level where you can evaluate my talent yet.”

Kou Xuejiao was startled at first, then dumbfounded, and finally said, “I still appreciate you more. Although you hurt people more.”

Chongxuan Zun said, “Then I appreciate your eyesight.”

“I envy you being able to face the world so calmly at such a young age. I also haven’t had such an interesting conversation in a long time.” Kou Xuejiao seemed to be expressing herself from the heart, she shook her head, and then regretfully said, “But why do you repeatedly refuse the Xuehe Sect? We can grant you the most noble position, the most powerful strength…”

Chongxuan Zun had already given Huo Shiji, and also her, the answer.

But she seemed unable to understand, and still harbored resentment.

As she spoke, her emotions became somewhat agitated. “We open up everything of the Xuehe Sect for you, give you all the respect and honor. Fifty-four thousand years of glory, all can shine on you—”

“Because I don’t have the habit of performing plays with trash.”

Chongxuan Zun turned his head to look at her and said.

These words were like a sharp knife, cutting off Kou Xuejiao’s overflowing emotions.

The mountain wind blew his white clothes, and the smile that wasn’t quite a smile on his lips seemed to become very cold.

Kou Xuejiao was startled.

She had originally thought that at this moment, she didn’t need to perform anymore, so she could express some true feelings.

But she didn’t expect that while she was still sighing, Chongxuan Zun would be the first not to perform, and would flip the table so completely.

Those plain eyes looked over, like a basin of ice water pouring down on her head.

After a moment of shock, anger flared.

She narrowed her eyes. “What did you say?”

The Xuehe Sect valued Chongxuan Zun immensely. She, Kou Xuejiao, had never been impolite to Chongxuan Zun.

The Hall True Monarch personally raised his name, and even the position of Xuehe Sect Master could be offered.

How dare this person have such language, use such an attitude?

She felt a long-absent anger boiling in her heart, and indignantly drew her sword. “Do you think the Xuehe Sect’s sword edge isn’t sharp?”

Chongxuan Zun’s expression was calm.

He didn’t even speak.

He just looked on quietly, watching Kou Xuejiao’s anger, watching Kou Xuejiao draw her sword.

That kind of lighthearted, watching-a-monkey-show-like gaze made Kou Xuejiao unbearable with anger!

When this old lady was famous in the world, you, Chongxuan Zun, still didn’t know where you were playing in the mud!

She was even so angry that she didn’t want to use her Three Thousand Hongchen Sword anymore, didn’t want to try the means of the contemporary unparalleled son of heaven. She already didn’t want to let Chongxuan Zun live for another breath — so she just pulled down the root of the Hongchen thread that she had been connected to the sky!

From the moment she stepped into this lotus seed world, she had used the Hongchen thread to connect to the secrets of this world under the guise of searching for the evil beast Poor Strange.

At this moment, she no longer concealed it, directly using the Hongchen thread to pull down the boundless blood color of the sky.

This square lotus seed world instantly turned into a world of blood color.

Large patches of blood color fell, finally turning into a blood river pouring down!

The black wind and snow covering the sky were washed away by the blood color.

That blood color bared its teeth and brandished its claws, the entire world trembled.

In such momentum, Kou Xuejiao’s angry voice howled, “Look at the power of the Xuehe Sect! In front of the Xuehe Sect, which has stood firm in Disaster Water for fifty-four thousand years, what exactly do you, Chongxuan Zun, rely on to be arrogant!!!”

Two True Persons stood confronting each other on the peak of the mountains.

Blood armor and white clothing were both covered by the blood river.

But Kou Xuejiao discovered that Chongxuan Zun didn’t actually look at her, but raised his head to look at the blood pouring from the sky.

Fear? Panic?

She heard Chongxuan Zun say, “So that’s your hidden strength.”

She finally waited for Chongxuan Zun to turn around and look at her.

But Chongxuan Zun just said calmly, “But, what exactly gave you the illusion — letting you think you really pulled down the blood river?”

Kou Xuejiao was greatly shocked!

She discovered the world had already changed.

What mountain peaks, what black snow covering the sky, what blood river pouring from the sky. They were all gone.

She was in a sea, she stood alone on the boundless sea surface.

The white-clothed State Marquis was not far away, and behind him hung a giant bright moon.

The bright moon shone on the sky and the sea, the human world was a dream village.

Exactly when… did she fall into the Moon Phase World?

The moonlight was bright white, the sea waves clear. Kou Xuejiao’s heart, however, was sinking.

She couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine, Chongxuan Zun had already lifted his edge and stepped onto the sea.

“No—it can’t be like this, I am a guardian of the Xuehe Sect, I am also a contemporary True Person, how can I be afraid?!”

She roared angrily in her heart, howling as she waved her Three Thousand Hongchen Sword.

But for some reason, that smear of blood color always appeared in her eyes.

Forever unable to shake off… the eternal blood color!

How proud and high-spirited she once was, but in front of that terrifying power that could never be surpassed, she could only forever kneel.

“I am not afraid of Chongxuan Zun, I am, I am… I am not afraid of anyone!”

Her emotions almost shattered, her soul was close to madness, she waved her sword, and the fresh red sword energy almost wove into a cocoon, firmly protecting her within.

“No… how could I be like this?”

She suddenly calmed down, regained control of the disordered sword momentum, and made the fresh red sword energy orderly.

She thought, perhaps it was the sudden discovery that she had already fallen into the Moon Phase World that caused her mental defenses to temporarily collapse. Perhaps it was the influence of Chongxuan Zun’s power on her emotions. She told herself many possibilities, and also tried different secret arts, trying to regain her fighting spirit and calmness.

Having lived in the Xuehe Sect for so many years, having fought in Disaster Water for so many years, in her own backyard, facing a Chongxuan Zun who had just become Dongzhen, she shouldn’t be so unsettled!

But at this moment, she suddenly discovered — Chongxuan Zun had not attacked.

That white-clothed State Marquis stood quietly on the sea surface, silent like a statue of a god.

That huge bright moon seemed to be the crown of a god king.

For some reason, she suddenly felt very painful.

“So that’s it!” Chongxuan Zun opened his mouth and said, “I said why you were so weak!”

Why?

Kou Xuejiao didn’t understand.

Chongxuan Zun asked again, “You mentioned to me before, what was the name of that ugly man carrying a long sword that you saw?”

Kou Xuejiao originally didn’t want to answer him, this rude junior, this wild son of heaven, who did he think he was?

But for some reason, she subconsciously answered, “Xu Ximing.”

Chongxuan Zun nodded. “Good. I remember him.”

Then… he just turned around.

Why?

Why?

I too, once, with fresh clothes and spirited horses, galloped across mountains and rivers.

I too, once, with bright eyes and a kind gaze, had aspirations in my heart.

I also raised my name in the world, I also proved myself as a True Person, I also held the Three Thousand Hongchen Sword in my hand, killed demons, fought the sea race, and contended with the sons of heaven of the era!

Why am I actually so despised, how dare you give me a back figure?

Kou Xuejiao tightly grasped her sword, tightly grasped it, but the tighter she grasped, the more she detected her weakness, the more she discovered the loss of power!

What is this?

“Stand…”

She raised her hand, wanting Chongxuan Zun to stop.

But this sound did not completely come out.

At this time, she suddenly thought of a sound.

A sound she had heard not long ago.

Xu Ximing’s voice.

That sound said — “Then take this sword of mine.”

In the huge bright moon that Chongxuan Zun’s figure had already left, she seemed to see Xu Ximing, just holding a long sword in both hands, dragging it behind him, running towards this side in an ugly posture.

She finally understood Chongxuan Zun’s sentence, “So that’s it!”

“Originally… I already died.”

Died under that sword of Xu Ximing.

She painful yet relievedly leaned back and fell, the vermilion-red long sword in her hand scattering into ten thousand Hongchen threads.

Just like that, it disappeared without a ripple.

The Three Thousand Hongchen Sword, scattered into the red dust.

Dada dada dada!

Blood rain fell from the sky.

Chongxuan Zun stood quietly on the peak of the mountains, gazing at the black wind and snow covering the sky.

Blood rain and black snow mixed together, creating a cruel turbid sensation.

This was a delayed blood rain.

Kou Xuejiao died, but the danger had not been lifted.

Because the blood color was still falling.

The entire world was slowly dyed red.

Chongxuan Zun watched for a while and discovered that it indeed still needed some time.

So he stepped down from the mountain peak, walked on air and left.

Since things had come to this… he might as well collect some more Poor Strange essence blood, lest Wang Yiwu’s cultivation was not enough.

White clothes fluttered, and he walked towards that head of the Poor Strange evil beast that was buried in the mountain and fixed by moonlight.

Perhaps it also detected the change in this world, the fierce beast renowned for evil in ancient times, at this moment trembled endlessly. Its mountain-range-like body was desperately shrinking inwards at this moment. It probably wanted to bury itself a little deeper.

Chongxuan Zun slowly walked to the rear part of the Poor Strange, elegantly pulled a segment of moonlight, grasped it into a hollow sharp spear, and casually stabbed down—

When Jiang Zhenren piloted the Jianwen boat, searching for Chongxuan Zun’s trace all the way, shouting “I’ve come to save you,” broke the lotus seed world, and killed his way into this place… he saw this scene.

On the spine of the huge, mountain-range-like evil beast, a luxurious reclining chair condensed from a zhang of moon glory was placed.

The white-clothed handsome State Marquis just leaned back lazily on the chair, holding a volume of book in his hand, reading slowly.

Black snow, blood-colored rain, all floated down behind him.

He was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, completely unaware.

Beside him was also inserted a moon-white sharp spear, presenting a semi-transparent shape, hollow inside, just bouncing essence blood outwards one by one.

In the air, jade bottles were suspended one by one, lined up under the manipulation of Chongxuan power, receiving those essence blood, then closing the wooden stoppers one by one, obediently falling beside Chongxuan Zun… jumping into the open storage box one by one.

Gudu gudu…

The crowd followed the sound and saw that not far away, there was still a burning mud furnace, and a small teapot on the furnace.

The lid was being pushed open by white steam, and the tea water inside was already boiling.
