Chapter 261: Seeing The Light Of Day Again
Under everyone’s desperate support, that multicolored light membrane finally reappeared before Lu Xian’s eyes. And this time, Lu Xian finally comprehended that the multicolored glow clearly contained the supreme and simplest laws of heaven and earth!
That was the Great Principles of the Great Dao that he had bitterly pursued for half his life!
To hear the Dao in the morning is enough to die contentedly in the evening… If it were only Lu Xian here by himself, he would absolutely disregard life and death to try to comprehend the Great Dao. But he could not, because there were still eleven companions behind him who had entrusted their lives to him. Selfishness was absolutely not the Heavenly Dao!
Lu Xian unhesitatingly gritted his teeth, his palms suddenly merging. That illusory and real, ever-changing square and circle immediately fused into one, circle within square, square within circle, Mutual Aid of Square and Circle, flowing and generating!
The rumbling torrent surged from behind, instantly submerging Lu Yun, followed by Su Yingxiu, Sun Yuanlang… Soon it submerged Lu Xian as well.
Everyone held their breath, desperately steadying their forms in the water, continuing to maintain the output of True Force, because that moment of Unity of Heaven and Man had finally arrived!
Lu Xian was completely submerged in the water, yet he felt no sense of suffocation at all, as if he had transformed into a fish, able to breathe freely in the water…
“So this is the Innate Realm…” Lu Xian smiled faintly, his palms pushing forward with utmost gentleness. That Mutual Aid of Square and Circle, seemingly black yet white mass of glow silently struck into the massive ironstone blocking the way.
As the white light disappeared, everyone simultaneously released their palms. Whether it was Sun Yuanlang with the highest Martial Arts or Su Yingxiu with the lowest, all were completely exhausted, unable even to move their fingers. They could only hold their breath, desperately widening their eyes to watch this Innate strike unseen for hundreds of years—Unity of Heaven and Man!
Yet to their despair, that Unity of Heaven and Man strike into the ironstone was like a clay ox entering the sea, causing no damage to the ironstone at all. It was even inferior to Lu Xian’s initial strike…
“How could this be?!” Almost everyone uncontrollably shed tears, the scalding tears instantly swallowed mercilessly by the icy river water, as if proclaiming the iron rule that the might of heaven and earth does not tolerate challenges from mortals!
“Mei sister…” Only Wei Yang desperately turned his head, wanting to see Mei Yu one last time. He only regretted that at this moment underwater, he could not make any sound, could not tell her that in his next life, he would still continue to love her like this…
At the moment when everyone despaired, they suddenly felt a faint trembling. The Grandmasters immediately looked toward it, shocked to discover that the trembling came from that black ironstone!
The Grandmasters stared dead at the trembling ironstone, only to see a fine crack appear…
After that crack appeared, it rapidly spread like a spiderweb, in an instant covering the entire surface of the boulder…
Then, that boulder which had stood immovable in the river channel for hundreds of years, under the impact of the water flow, suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless tiny fragments, swept away without a trace by the flood like a tiger bursting from its gate.
At the same time, the twelve people in the passage were also swept forward by this irresistible flood…
At this moment, everyone was in a state of exhaustion with enemies gone and new strength not yet born, completely unable to resist the flood, only able to barely hold their breath and let the flood carry them.
The flood continuously tumbled their bodies, the enormous water pressure tearing at their Five Viscera. Su Yingxiu, with the shallowest Cultivation, soon could not hold on, her vision going black as she fainted.
“If there’s still an obstruction ahead, we’re dead…” This was Su Yingxiu’s last thought before losing consciousness…
.
Lu Yun was tumbled forward for a long time by the flood. He had completely lost his thinking and perception, only relying on his survival Instinct to bitterly hold on…
He had no idea how long he had advanced in the surging flood, not even knowing that he was about to lose consciousness…
Just before he completely fainted, the pressure on his body suddenly eased, and the water temperature instantly became much colder. With the pressure easing and cold water stimulating, Lu Yun then regained a trace of awareness. Immediately after, something unknown bumped his back. Lu Yun hurriedly held his breath desperately while opening his eyes.
He saw a two-foot-long large carp slowly swimming past him… Through that large fish, Lu Yun saw countless white foams spurting from the black hole before his eyes, continuously pushing his body away…
Lu Yun laboriously looked around and discovered that the surrounding water already had light, and the water area had become extremely spacious. Instantly, a surge of ecstasy welled up in his heart—clearly, he had left that damned Underground River and was now in the Luo River!
Lu Yun’s nerves, tense for many days, finally relaxed. He suppressed his agitated mood, relaxed his body, and let the river water carry him to the surface…
With a splash, Lu Yun’s body floated to the surface, immediately blinded by the dazzling sunlight. Lu Yun hurriedly closed his eyes, rolled his eyeballs, and when he opened them again, his sight had recovered its clarity.
“Finally seeing the light of day again!” Lu Yun gazed at the azure sky and faint white clouds, so joyful he wanted to howl freely. But his strong reason restrained his impulse. Before confirming safety, any rash action could bring unforeseen danger.
Restraining the impulse to shout and vent, Lu Yun slightly Circulated Qi. He was surprised to discover that his Cultivation had recovered a little, and the newly generated Vital Energy seemed to have undergone some changes compared to before.
Realizing this, Lu Yun immediately regained control of his body, preparing to turn over and swim to the shore to find a secluded place to Study it. Who knew that as soon as he turned over, he saw Su Yingxiu floating motionless a hundred zhang downstream…
“This woman is the slyest, she must be trying to trick me again.” Lu Yun sneered inwardly and swam in the opposite direction without moving.
While swimming, Lu Yun waited for the furious voice of the Taiping Dao Saintess.
Who knew that after swimming far, he still heard no movement from Su Yingxiu. Lu Yun could not help but look back, only to see her body still motionless, pushed even farther by the current.
“Don’t think I’ll fall for it…” Lu Yun muttered inwardly, yet involuntarily turned toward Su Yingxiu. While swimming, he seemed to speak to Su Yingxiu, but more like talking to himself: “I’m doing this to expose you…”
Lu Yun appeared reluctant, but his swimming speed was extremely fast, like an arrow fish, drawing a white water line, arriving at Su Yingxiu’s side in the blink of an eye. He saw her eyes tightly closed, face pale as frost, body stiff as if frozen!
“What?!” Seeing that Su Yingxiu was not pretending but truly drowning, Lu Yun was instantly filled with regret. “Why didn’t I come check immediately?!”
In the critical moment, no time to continue self-reproach, he reached from behind Su Yingxiu, wrapping his arm around her slender waist, the other hand and both legs paddling with full force, desperately swimming toward the shore!
Lu Yun felt that what he was holding was a lifeless body, his heart sinking to the bottom! Although his Killing Intent toward Su Yingxiu had never disappeared, although he did not like this Demoness’s ways, at this moment he felt heartbreak.
Quickly bringing Su Yingxiu’s light body ashore, Lu Yun tremblingly extended his hand to check her condition.
“They all say scourges last ten thousand years, you this Demoness don’t die ah!”
