Chapter 702 Although the Fireworks Are Beautiful, They Are Easy to Cool!
Chu Xun was unwilling to step into the chaotic void. Back then, when he was an Immortal Emperor, he almost died in it, let alone he was only in the Nascent Soul now.
It seemed that he had to think of another way.
But then Chu Xun smiled bitterly. “Is there any other way?”
Now, he only had two ways. First, he could take risks to step into the Void Formation. Second, he could practice in the folding space, become an Immortal Emperor, and go back.
However, it would take a long time to become an Immortal Emperor.
He could wait, but the elders of the Dream Hell Mountain couldn’t.
Chu Xun looked at the formation in front of him. Perhaps this was the only way to go back to Earth.
After a long time, Chu Xun sighed and stopped thinking. Even if he wanted to leave, he had to kill Chosen Ones from the Immortals and leave Earth people some time to cultivate.
Chu Xun cupped his hands to the eight stone statues and was about to leave.
However, all of a sudden, the scenery around changed. The lofty mountains and steep valleys with strange rocks turned into endless grasslands. Flowers were everywhere, fluttering with the breeze.
Chu Xun became vigilant and knew that he had fallen into an Illusory Formation.
“Young friend, don’t be nervous.”
An old voice came from behind Chu Xun.
Chu Xun suddenly turned around and looked over. Not far behind him, an elder in a Taoist robe stood there quietly. His hair and beard were white, and he looked very kind. His Taoist robe swayed gently with the wind as if he was about to turn into a supernatural being and fly away with the wind.
Chu Xun suddenly relaxed. He had seen the person before. The person was one of the eight people in the statues. But it was just a divine soul in front of him.
“You are not cultivating martial arts nor Taoism. But you have the bloodline of Earth people. I’m afraid that you have experienced a lot,” the old Taoist observed Chu Xun for a while and said softly. His voice was a little ethereal and not real.
Chu Xun cupped his hands and bowed. These people deserved his bow.
In fact, he used to be an Immortal Emperor, so he still had pressure. If he released it, the old Taoist in front of him should worship him.
However, Chu Xun was willing to bow to him.
The eight great experts had sacrificed their lives for a glimmer of hope for returning to Earth. How many people were willing to do this?
Chu Xun was arrogant and overbearing, but he was not unreasonable.
The Taoist noticed that Chu Xun was extraordinary. He also waved his duster and saluted Chu Xun.
“Tens of millions of years have passed. We old guys have finally waited for you. But why did you turn around and leave.” The Taoist asked with a smile.
“How many people in this world can bear the Void Formation and chaotic void? You have thought too highly of me. I have borne too many responsibilities of the world. I can’t afford to gamble.”
“Young friend, your physical strength is rare in the world, and your soul is very solid. Although your cultivation is not very high, your experience is incomparable to that of ordinary people. You can actually recognize the Void Formation.”
Chu Xun said, “I’ve studied formations before. Although I don’t dare to call myself a master, I think I have known much about them.”
“We’ve been waiting for tens of thousands of years. It wasn’t easy for us to wait for a person to fit the conditions of entering the formation. But if you don’t want to, we won’t force you. We can only continue to wait.” The old Taoist didn’t regret it at all. He smiled freely.
“In that case, I’ll leave now.” Chu Xun had not made up his mind yet. It was useless to say more.
“Young friend, please wait a moment. Once you want to do that, please come back to this place. We will wait for you at any time.” The Taoist looked a little confused. “Both they and we have been waiting for too long. They have no other wishes but to return to their homeland. For the past tens of millions of years, only you fit the conditions of entering the formation. We old guys are willing to help you if you have thought it through.”
Perhaps the old Taoist had not talked to anyone for a long time, so he was a little talkative.
However, Chu Xun’s eyes lit up. He almost forgot that since these people had set up the formation with their bodies, they must have left a backup plan. Maybe they had already been well-prepared.
“Senior, what can you do to help me?” Chu Xun was a little hopeful.
The old Taoist chuckled and said, “Although the chaotic void is terrible, what if we old guys escort you with a soul and a set of Divine Armor?”
“Divine Armor?” Chu Xun was shocked. “What level is it?”
“Middle-grade.”
Chu Xun shook his head and said, “The armor of the middle-grade Divine Artifact can’t withstand the storm in the void at all.”
“How did you know that?” The old Taoist was curious. Although they had built this formation, they had never used it.
“To tell you the truth, I have entered the chaotic void once and almost died.” The other party was just a divine soul and could not leave this place for the rest of his life. Chu Xun was not afraid that they would spread the news.
Besides, how could the ancestors who had set up a formation with their bodies and souls be gossipers?
The Taoist’s face was full of surprise. “How could you enter the chaotic void before?”
The old Taoist obviously did not believe it. Although he did not know how terrible the chaotic void was, he knew with Chu Xun’s current cultivation, Chu Xun would probably die if going in.
“I feel sorry that I can’t tell you the details. It’s a fact that I can’t break through the chaotic void with a set of middle-grade Divine Artifact,” Chu Xun said.
“What if you are escorted by the divine souls of we old guys?” The old Taoist asked.
Chu Xun shook his head gently and said, “I can’t do this. Once your divine souls enter the chaotic void, they will be swallowed up and scattered by the storm. In that case, you will have no possibility of reincarnation and completely dissipate between heaven and earth.”
The old Taoist smiled and was open-minded. “It turns out that you are worried about it. May I ask you a question? What’s the difference between being sealed here for tens of millions of years and the destruction of our souls? We eight people had thought of this before we decided to do it.”
“If the magic formation is activated, you can get out of it and go to the reincarnation,” Chu Xun said.
“If we want to go to the reincarnation, why did we sacrifice for the formation and seal ourselves here for tens of millions of years?”
“But once you escort me, you will never have the chance of reincarnation.”
“If we can bring the people here back to our homeland, we will not regret it.”
“I don’t agree.” These eight people had already sacrificed themselves. He didn’t want to take away their chance to reincarnate.
“My little friend, is there any other way?” The old Taoist sighed. “It’s our good fortune to meet you. If we can’t send the people here back to Earth, our sacrifice is worthless.”
Chu Xun was silent. These eight people had already sacrificed a lot. How could he take away their last chance of reincarnation?
“Little friend, you said before that you are concerned about the world and bear the responsibilities of Earth. If you are afraid of death, even if you want to enter the Void Formation, we will try our best to stop you. But now, we hope you to enter the formation.”
“Of course, if the chaotic void is extremely dangerous as you said, we can’t guarantee to escort you to Earth safely. We won’t force you to try it.”
Chu Xun said in a low voice, “This formation can only escort one person away. If I am really lucky enough to return to Earth, I don’t know when I can come back. I’m afraid that it will be too far for me.”
“We’ve been waiting for another tens of millions of years, but we can’t see any hope at all. Young friend, your appearance has given us hope. Hope is better than no hope.”
“You are so young, but you have the vast healthy atmosphere like a dragon. You have the universe in your heart. In addition, you have entered the Space Turbulence. Is there anyone more suitable than you?”
Chu Xun was silent. He needed to go back to Earth.
However, how could he take away the chance of reincarnation of these sages cruelly?
“Young friend, please take a look.” The old Daoist waved his hand. The environment suddenly changed, and the eight stone statues appeared.
Chu Xun was confused.
“To tell you the truth, these stone statues were originally golden. Do you know why they have turned pale now?”
Chu Xun nodded slightly. Of course, he knew that the eight sages had been waiting for a long time here. Now they were disappointed. Their hope for this matter had greatly reduced. Thus, the stone statues were covered with a layer of deadly silence.
This was why the stone statues emitted a golden light when people came. Every time a person came, they were brought with a glimmer of hope.
“Even if you don’t agree, I’m afraid we can’t hold on for long. If we have no hope one day, we will dissipate on our own. In that case, our result will be the same as entering the chaotic void.”
Chu Xun suddenly clenched his fists. Even the sages were not afraid of death and the dissipating of their souls. How could he be afraid of death?
“Okay, I promise you I’ll enter the Void Formation,” Chu Xun said.
The old Taoist was a little stunned. Then he was overjoyed and laughed wildly, “Well, you are worthy of being a man on earth, ha…”
Following the old Daoist’s loud laughter, the eight stone statues seemed to have reconstructed their golden bodies. They erupted with astonishing golden light. The golden light rushed into the horizon, brilliant and dazzling.
However, Chu Xun didn’t want to laugh. In his eyes, the golden light was like fireworks. Although it was beautiful, it would cool soon.
They didn’t know that the warriors of the Immortals outside the Ziwei City exclaimed one after another. Seeing the golden light rising into the sky in the city, they all showed strong greed on their faces.
In their eyes, it was the light the Chaos Stone emitted.
In the valley, the old Taoist stopped laughing and looked at Chu Xun, saying, “Young friend, is a day enough for you to take good care of your breath and restore your body to its best state? Then we will send you away.”
Chu Xun shook his head and said, “I can’t leave now.”
“Why?”
“If I leave now, the Chosen Ones of the Immortals outside will break through the city sooner or later. At that time, even if I kill my way into the Immortals, the people here probably will have died long ago.”
The old Taoist sighed. “We know a little about the situation outside, but we can’t do anything about it.”
“Don’t worry. Before I leave, I will send all the Chosen Ones of the Immortals to hell first. Then, I will seal the entrance of the folding space and ensure that no one can enter for thousands of years.” Chu Xun was full of murderous intent.
The old Taoist was shocked by the horrible murderous intent.
“Young friend, thank you for the Earth residents!”
“You’re welcome. It’s my duty. Don’t forget that we have the same bloodline in our bodies.”
The old Taoist nodded slightly, and his eyes were full of appreciation. He had been waiting for tens of millions of years already. At this moment, the person was worth it.
“When I kill all those so-called Chosen Ones of the Immortals, I will come back,” Chu Xun said.
“Young friend, please wait a moment. Perhaps this will save you strength.” The old Daoist waved his hand. Light flickered, and a set of silver armor floated in the air.
The silver armor appeared, and silver ripples surged wildly. The Illusory Formation set up by the old Taoist instantly collapsed. Even the old Taoist disappeared.
It was a middle-grade Divine Artifact Armor.
Chu Xun waved his hand, and a suction force surged. The silver armor floated over and covered his body.
Boom!
The Illusory Formation set up by the old Taoist disappeared. Chu Xun still stood on the huge stone. But suddenly, cracks appeared on the huge stone, and Chu Xun’s legs bent slightly.
Chu Xun snorted coldly, feeling the pressure of the armor. The people under the High Immortal Realm couldn’t withstand the pressure of the armor. Or the person would die instantly.
At this time, the dragon’s roars in Chu Xun’s body could be heard. The Ancestral Dragon bone was shining. And his viscera resonated. He suddenly stood straight and dispelled the pressure on his armor directly.
Chu Xun took out the Dragon’s Wrath and silver armor. His hair fluttered wildly with purple-golden Dragon’s Wrath, and his eyes shone with purple light. It seemed he was going to pierce through the sky. His power was extremely terrifying.
A bloodthirsty smile appeared at the corners of Chu Xun’s mouth. “The Chosen Ones of the Immortals, I’m here…”
