Chapter 1249 Did he teach you that?
"Well--!"
A look of pain appeared on Ye Ge's face.
But this pain is not pure pain; rather, it is a kind of pain mixed with a liberating and pleasant feeling!
The genetic lock suddenly opened, and all the meridians and nodes in the body seemed to expand and stretch instantly! The previous vague blockages and stagnations disappeared in an instant, and every energy pathway became incredibly smooth and wide!
'It turns out that the meridians had been in a semi-blocked state all along...'
'I thought cultivation itself was this difficult and obscure...'
Ye Ge closed his eyes, his mind stirred, and he summoned the system panel.
He absorbed all the Darkin energy accumulated by the Demon Tree, as well as the remaining 15,000 Star Tears, into his body without reservation.
"boom--!!!!"
An immense amount of energy erupted within him instantly! Soul power surged outwards from him, transforming into a visible shockwave that whipped up gusts of wind!
Countless dazzling and intricate deep blue magic patterns appeared on Night Song's body, flowing and shimmering as if they were alive.
Six Annihilation Beads, imbued with the power of the Heavenly Dao, materialized from the void, displaying two attributes: light and darkness. Three beads radiated a dazzling and sacred golden light, while the other three were surrounded by an eerie and profound blackish-purple glow.
Like a twin star system orbiting a star, they intertwined light and darkness, slowly swirling around him, radiating a chilling pressure!
Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Aotian's pupils suddenly contracted.
'This is......'
'The power of Heaven's Dao?!?'
Before he could suppress his shock, Ye Ge underwent another sudden change!
Soul power, holy power, demonic power, and divine power—four distinct energies erupted forth, merging and condensing into a dazzling, massive pillar of light. Accompanied by a deafening roar, it shot straight into the sky, causing extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth, and the wind and clouds to change color!
......
Night city, street.
The bustling food street was filled with enticing aromas. Bing Xin, Leng Yuening, and Xiao Yuxi were strolling through it.
They all used magic to prevent ordinary people from seeing their true appearance.
As night falls, the city is filled with a vibrant, bustling atmosphere. This city cleverly blends modernity and classicism, with neon-lit holographic billboards standing side by side with ancient buildings featuring upturned eaves and carved beams; suspended roadways intertwine in the air, while below lie pedestrian streets paved with bluestone slabs, where traditional vendors with red lanterns coexist harmoniously with modern shops.
Bing Xin then slightly raised her head and looked up at the night sky above.
Her face still looked aloof and stunningly beautiful, her expression like an unyielding iceberg, but her eyes now held a sense of melancholy and sorrow, completely lacking the imposing, condescending, and inviolable aura she once possessed as the Great Enforcer of Light.
Above their heads, tens of thousands of meters in the sky, there were countless dazzling points of light, like stars.
Ordinary people would probably just think of them as stars in the sky.
But she knew that it was the node of the human race's great barrier that had just been built a few days ago, which was shining brightly in the sky above the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations, casting a silent protective glow.
"Uncle Bingxin, would you like to try this?"
Leng Yuening held several strings of crystal-clear candied hawthorns and handed one of them to Bing Xin.
Leng Yue Ning wore a purple fairy dress, her baby face small and cute; Xiao Yu Xi beside her wore a white fairy dress, pure and dignified, with an otherworldly temperament.
The two looked like young ladies from wealthy families who had sneaked out for a stroll, completely devoid of the aloofness and arrogance typical of cultivators, their eyes and brows showing a rare ease and vivacity.
Bing Xin glanced at the string of candied hawthorns, and finally accepted it.
“I remember when you were little, you were the most socially awkward and shy disciple of Yue Ning Palace. You always stayed in Yue Ning Palace to cultivate and never went down the mountain for decades. Even when facing your senior brothers and sisters, you would cover your face with a veil. This is the first time I have seen you running around in the city like an ordinary little girl.”
Bing Xin glanced at her indifferently: "Did he teach you?"
“He…” Leng Yuening blushed slightly upon hearing this. Of course, she knew who her aunt Bingxin was referring to: “Aunt, I…”
“You don’t need to explain, I don’t blame you.” Bingxin interrupted softly, her gaze sweeping over the bustling street scene before her, and she sighed softly, “I really haven’t been back for a long time, I didn’t expect that human cities have changed so much.”
For her, an "ancient person" who had lived for thousands of years, everything before her was new and required time to adapt. But this peace and prosperity was a sight unimaginable in ancient times.
"Night City is run by Ye Ge's family, it's so much fun." Leng Yuening affectionately linked arms with Bing Xin. "Uncle-Master, shall we show you around some more, Xi'er and I?"
Xiao Yuxi smiled and chimed in, "Yes, Grandmaster Uncle, shall we be your guides today?"
Bing Xin remained silent and did not respond.
"Senior Uncle, you seem to be in a bad mood today?" Leng Yuening bit her lip and asked tentatively, "Is it because... you have lost your divine power?"
She knew that since her senior uncle Bingxin helped build the great barrier for the human race, her divine power had been completely exhausted! Her level had dropped directly from level eleven to level zero!
For cultivators, this sense of disparity must be quite significant, right?
“Silly child.” Bingxin shook her head: “It’s just a little divine power, I don’t care. And even if I lose my status as an eleventh-level divine official, I am still a cultivator at the Soul Emperor level.”
Leng Yuening asked curiously, "Then why are you always so gloomy?"
"..."
Bing Xin did not answer.
Her low spirits stemmed from a feeling of heartbreak...
Since losing contact with the Sea of Gods, she has seen the true colors of many of her colleagues in the Temple of Gods.
In the past, these clergymen always used lofty and righteous terms such as "all living beings," "the common people," and "protecting all living beings."
Therefore, whenever the Temple of the High Priests extorted money from the common people, she, as the Chief Enforcer, never said anything.
Protecting all living beings and receiving some incense money is only right and proper.
However, when the mortals of this land truly faced a crisis, those people revealed a different face.
After the incident at the Array of Light and Dawn, she not only consulted with the Five Elements Gods, but also sought out many other gods in the Temple of Gods, from high-ranking gods to mid-ranking gods, and down to low-ranking gods...
"Rebuilding the connection with the Sea of Gods is the top priority right now. How can we be distracted by the lives of these mortals?"
"Now that we can no longer pray for divine power, our strength is dwindling with every use and cannot be replenished. Naturally, we must use it in more crucial areas, rather than wasting it here."
"The fate of mortals is predetermined by Heaven; why should we interfere..."
