Heartache of Parting

Early in the morning, a ray of sunlight scattered into the jungle, shining on Wei Wuji's face, Wei Wuji opened his eyes, a night of quiet rest, he felt that yesterday's injuries were recovered, the ice qi in his body was a few points stronger again, he looked up and stared at the old man on top of the green stone, the wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to have added quite a lot over the night, and his breath was obviously too much weaker compared to last night.

Last night, on the road, he tried to use the immortal power of the ice silkworms in his body to heal the old man's injuries, but unfortunately, his ice qi was too weak, and the sword qi in the old man's body was too strong, instantly churning the ice qi he had inputted.

Chu Yun opened his eyes, seeing Wei Wuji looking at him with a face full of worry, he could not help but smile, 'Wuji, old age, sickness and death, it's human nature, my generation of Dharma Cultivators never cared about it, just think of it as a reflection of the heaven and earth'.

Getting the old man's real situation, Wei Wuji's heart sank, unexpectedly hurt as badly as this, he couldn't help but say grimly: 'Your old man is thinking openly'.

'Haha', Chu Yun laughed, probed his hand and touched Wei Wuji's head, and was about to open his mouth, when suddenly, an invisible Qi swept over, Chu Yun's body shook, and a mouthful of blood was violently sprayed out.

The two of them had not yet understood what happened, only to see the earth under their feet like a giant dragon turning over, vibrating endlessly, the mud and sand under their feet gave birth to a vortex, a suction force swept towards the two of them.

'Rise', Chu Yun let out a deep drink, a sword light rose from under Wei Wuji's feet, Chu Yun rushed up with Wei Wuji.

Standing on the sword light in the air, the two of them looked with extreme eyes and could not help but feel a wave of horror at the scene before them.

Only to see that in the distance, with the 'Falling Phoenix Slope' as the centre, mud and sand were splashing, large trees were turning over and breaking, mountains and rivers were crumbling, the mud and sand, debris and broken branches and leaves were crazily destroying everything around them, and rolling dust and smoke was rushing into the sky, and countless silhouettes of people and those birds and beasts in the forests were frantically escaping towards the outside.

'Boom' a huge sound came from the sky, the whole earth for a tremor, a circle of ripples visible to the naked eye from the fallen phoenix slope to spread in all directions. The ripples swept past, outside the fallen phoenix slope those who just escaped, shocked people, at the moment some people because of the body a little slow, they can't escape in time, in a short moment, dozens of people can't even send out a miserable cry will be instantly vapourized, the ripples wherever, everything seems to have no resistance in front of the ripples, instantly turned into fragments.

'Here it comes, be careful', the ripples continue to spread, Chu Yun at the sight of a shout, the sword into a stream of light, wrapped with Wei Wuji to the distance shot away, Chu Yun sword speed is extremely fast, in an instant has been to a hundred miles away.

Wei Wuji looked back, only to see that the ripples spread the speed of the fast, beyond imagination, in the blink of an eye has been away from the two but the distance of a hundred feet, well in the ripples in the diffusion of a hundred miles, contains the power has been greatly weakened, spare me, the residual power is also extraordinary, simply indestructible, Wei Wuji feel that if you are swept, I'm afraid it will be such as the dozens of people earlier, the instantaneous death in the first place.

In the midst of the crisis, Chu Yun turned his body around, protecting Wei Wuji behind him, and with a furious roar, he chopped his sword towards the ripples.

With a 'clang' sound, the broken sword flew up, Chu Yun's long sword was actually swept by the ripples and broken, the broken sword fragments splashed around, Wei Wuji only felt a sharp pain on his face, he was actually cut by one of the splashing broken sword fragments, the wound slanted down from the corner of his eye, reaching his earlobes, blood came out, instantly staining his cheeks.

The sword of his life was broken, Chu Yun spewed out a mouthful of blood, those wounds on his body that were originally sealed by his sword qi instantly cracked, and blood immediately gushed out, instantly becoming a bloody man.

'Senior uncle', Wei Wuji did not care about the injuries on his face, let out a cry of sadness, but saw Chu Yun a reach out and pressed Wei Wuji's shoulder, the sword light flashed, swiftly broke the air outwards, the sword light square swept out a few miles, Chu Yun spewed out a mouthful of blood again, his body shape shook for a while, and that the sword light that was carrying them violently folded in the air, and shot downwards towards the earth below.

With a 'boom' sound, Chu Yun wrapped around Wei Wuji and landed on the ground, smashing the ground out of a deep pit, smoke and dust rolled out, and the mud and sand spewed up sprinkled all over the duo's heads and faces.

With a 'wow' sound, Chu Yun spat out three mouthfuls of blood between the landing, his body swaying for a while.

'Senior uncle', Wei Wuji held Chu Yun, only to see Chu Yun's face pale and bloodless, his breath plummeted, weak to the extreme.

Chu Yun held Wei Wuji's shoulder, raised his hand and caressed, sealing the wound on Wei Wuji's face, his voice hoarsely said, 'Wuji, senior uncle is only afraid of not being able to make it.'

Wei Wuji could no longer hold back, tears came out of his eyes, he grabbed Chu Yun's hand and said, 'It won't happen, Senior Uncle, you are a strong person of the Fetal Breath Realm, as long as a single breath of air remains, you will be able to turn your life into a peaceful one. Senior uncle, you should not die.'

'Ai', Chu Yun let out a long sigh, 'If the divine sense in the innate sword qi has not been damaged, it can still enter the foetal breath state with the help of a breath of innate sword qi, but unfortunately, senior uncle, my meridians are broken and the innate sword has been shattered, I can no longer stay in that one breath.'

'ah ...', Wei Wuji up to the sky a roar, both fists clenched, affected by his emotions, the body of the power of the ice silkworm instant riot, ice gas burst out on its own, instantly run to his whole body, the same time his body of ice gas transformation speed suddenly accelerated countless times, Wei Wuji intuition Wei Wuji had an intuition that the ice qi in his meridians was rapidly converging, his breath surged, and a vortex of ice qi was formed in his body, which was the sign of entering the middle stage of the Imperial qi.

Generally, people who cultivate the law would form a vortex of their own nourished qi in the middle stage of qi cultivation, after which they would continue to guide the qi into the body and strengthen it until the vortex would no longer rotate and absorb the qi of the heaven and earth to transform it into their own qi, then they would be able to condense the qi into a solid and condense their own qi, and then they would be able to break into the realm of the Body Transformation.

''Puff'' sound, Wei Wuji a mouthful of blood sprayed out, just now the ice gas in his body was running too fast, forming a vortex, even if he was constantly strengthened by the power of the ice silkworm's physique could not withstand it, the tendons and veins in his body shook and were slightly damaged, fortunately, the healing effect of the Ice Silkworm's Immortal Power was good, a little damage, it was not a big deal for him.

Chu Yun saw that Wei Wuji had actually formed a vortex in one fell swoop under the emotional agitation, sensing Wei Wuji's aura and the changes in his body, he couldn't help but sigh and say, 'Child, you don't have to be like this, seeing you grow so fast, the senior uncle is also relieved of a lot of worries.'

Wei Wuji did not utter a word, he only held Chu Yun's hand tightly, silent and few words for eight years, for the expression of emotions, he was very lacking, at this time, he could no longer find any words to express his inner gratitude to the old man, as well as his inner unwillingness.

Chu Yun slowly sat down, patted the mud and sand on his lapel, looked at the deep pit that was smashed out by his own sword qi, and said with a faint smile, 'This pit is not bad, dry, fluffy, and it is a good place to bury your body.'

He stared at Wei Wuji and asked with a heavy face, 'Wuji, how old are you this year?'

'Fifteen in two more months.' Wei Wuji held back his tears and looked at Chu Yun with a puzzled expression, not understanding why the old man suddenly asked about his age at this time, hadn't the old man always been clear about his age?

'Fifteen?' Chu Yun pressed Wei Wuji's shoulder and said in a serious tone, 'How come I feel that you are older than me? Child, you are still young, only fifteen, you still remember what I said to you the night before, right? Many of life's sweet and sour you have not tasted, the world there are still a lot of scenery waiting for you to see, children, do not close their hearts, the cry then cry, when the laugh then laugh, fast and easy is a good man. Remember, don't let the present you ruin the future you.'

Wei Wuji's body shook when he heard the words, he could no longer suppress his inner grief, he hugged the old man and bawled, tears broke the dike and instantly wet the old man's lapel.

The old man is gone, and like other old men at the end of their lives, quiet and peaceful, he also did not leave anything behind, only left behind endless grandeur and a piece of sprinkling.

Blood has been stopped, tears early dry, Wei Wuji quietly stood in front of the old man buried place, face as calm as water, after a long time, he knelt down to the old man buried place kowtowed three times, and then got up, slowly to the pit outside, with his footsteps out of the pit, the sound of rustling sound, swish and swish of sediment, in the blink of an eye has been to fill the pit.

Wei Wudi walked forward step by step, step by step, he walked steadily and hard, he walked decisively and did not stop at all, he walked decisively and did not look back, because he knew that there were still a lot of things waiting for him to do.

All the way forward, fall phoenix slope square hundred miles has long been changed, the original dense jungle has long disappeared, a gust of wind over, the withered leaves from time to time with the wind spinning, drip drop to the distance, the whole fall phoenix slope has been a piece of withered desolation.

Looking around, at this time the fallen phoenix slope has been surrounded by a layer of burning black flame, that flame fluttering, bizarre, looks extremely unreal, a cold, despairing atmosphere rises up to the sky, Wei Wuji can feel from a long distance.

As for the power of that flame, Wei Wuji good not doubt, just based on the power of the ripples of the square, once the front against, I'm afraid that above the foetal breath, reincarnation realm of the strongest people do not dare to easily touch, as for the reincarnation realm of the above the legend of the 'innate level' of the strongest people can resist, Wei Wuji can't imagine, because he has seen his life in addition to the mysterious old man The strongest person he had seen in his life, besides the mysterious old man, was only the first turn of the Reincarnation Realm, and that was not long after he had entered the Cleft Heaven Sword Sect, a Cleft Heaven Sword Sect Ancestor-level existence, a hasty glance, and he was unable to judge how strong the Reincarnation Realm's strongest person was, but that abyssal sea-like aura was something that he still remembered well to this day.

Wei Wuji looked extremely, within a circle of several miles has not seen half of the silhouette, it seems that because just now the ripples attacked, the crowd scattered and evacuated, at this moment do not know where else.

Wei Wuji can't help but be a little worried, I don't know how that colourful girl is doing? She should be fine, right? Thinking about the fact that the other party came from the Xuan Tian Pavilion, there were definitely quite a few strong people accompanying them, coupled with the fact that they were already extremely far away from the centre of the Falling Phoenix Slope, Wei Wuji could not help but feel a hint of self-deprecation for his excess worry.

''Sand'' sound, Wei Wuji stepped on top of the fine sand, looking at the bleak earth, he actually gave birth to a sense of where to go, he took a deep breath, shook his head, fixed his mind, and travelled straight towards that black flame.

''Swoosh'' a bird sound resounded through heaven and earth, Wei Wuji looked up, only to see a fiery red flames from that black flame rushed out, to meet the wind a show, transformed into a thousand zhang giant bird rushed straight into the sky, look at its appearance, actually with the legend of the divine phoenix is very similar to the fire phoenix transformed by the heavenly punishment and one than, just the appearance has been a small witch, not to mention its god, Its shape, that kind of gap, Tian Ting's fire phoenix is like a grass chicken, can't bear to look at.

Flame divine phoenix in the falling phoenix slope in the sky constantly circling, issued a burst of sadness, seems to remember the past and glory of the divine phoenix clan, but also seems to be in mourning for the fallen divine phoenix clan within, a sad, helpless air swept over the earth.

A trace of coolness came, Wei Wuji couldn't help but touch his cheeks and realised that he couldn't help but shed tears, so far apart, that mournful sound actually made him unconsciously infected, Wei Wuji couldn't help but feel a burst of horror.

Flame divine phoenix circled several weeks in the sky above the fallen phoenix slope, after a number of mournful cries, fiercely spread its wings, rushed skyward, 'bang' sound, fire in the sky, the flame divine phoenix flew to a high place after violently bursting, the sky flames such as raindrops scattered to the fallen phoenix slope periphery of the various parts of the flame, the flame landed on the ground, do not need to rely on any thing, will be burned straight up! It was as if it was able to stay on for eternity!
