Chapter 1539: A Lady’s Pretty Face

Buzz!

Beneath the Divine Tree, Jiang Yi held onto the Divine Tree leaf in one hand and the Fire Dragon Sword in another. The Divine Tree leaf glowed periodically as did the Fire Dragon Sword. However, the difference was rays of red light would emanate from the Fire Dragon Sword at times; that was the baneful aura created after the Sword Emanations King merged with the Fire Dragon Sword!

While the baneful aura enveloped the surroundings, Jiang Yi was not affected that much. He and the Sword Emanations King had a mental connection, and the latter was a part of his Fire Dragon Sword after all.

However, as Jiang Yi was now in the State of the Union of Heaven and Man, he could now be one with the heaven and earth around him; he could merge with the baneful aura emanating about him. This way, he could realize the essence of the baneful aura and then use that essence on his Massacre Intent to help it rank up. His Divine Sound Heaven Skill would become much more powerful then.

Lingering in the baneful aura, Jiang Yi’s expression also became very special. He was all smiles one moment and then angry and impulsive the next. He became murderous for a second and then had saliva dripping from his mouth the next. Occasionally, he would also become terrified and then sink into despair and utter hopelessness.

After who knew how long, Jiang Yi’s eyes suddenly opened wide as he shouted excitedly, “Anger, Greed, Laziness, Gluttony, Massacre Intent, Fear, Despair, Hopelessness... the baneful aura is actually a combination of all these. These are the eight most negative feelings of humans; the eight original sins. The Massacre Intent is only one of the eight; no wonder the Massacre Intent is so weak while the baneful aura is so strong! I understand, I finally understand now!

“Baneful aura!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes shifted as he once again murmured, “The baneful aura comprises the most negative emotions we humans hide in the deepest parts of our soul spirits. The baneful aura is so powerful because it could instantly trigger the most negative emotions buried within the depths of our soul spirit. It could make humans lose their rationality, go berserk, feel fear, hopelessness, and cause them to break down...

“Hahahaha!”

Finally understanding this, Jiang Yi raised his head and laughed out loud. It was not hard at all now for his Massacre Intent to rank up. After his Massacre Intent ranked up and he merged it with his divine sound laws, its potency would definitely be elevated.

“Divine sound laws; whether I can stop the Lunar Beasts or not would depend on you!”

Jiang Yi rested for a second as he once again entered seclusion. He had already gotten hold of the essence of the baneful aura. However, if he wanted his Massacre Intent to rank up, he had to repeatedly deduce, test, and try it out.

After a few hours, the red light in the sky started to shine again as Lunar Beasts emerged just like fiends from the Netherworld Realm. The winds gushed as icy-cold auras emanated forth, dimming the shining light of the Divine Tree. Countless Lunar Beasts howled and rushed forward. Although they became slower once they entered the Divine Tree’s radius, their speed was still respectable. All around in the wilderness, Lunar Beasts surfaced as it seemed like—at any time—Jiang Yi was going to be torn into pieces.

Jiang Yi did not have many Sword Emanations Race beings left; after many had been destroyed dealing with the previous wave, Jiang Yi actually had not sent out a fresh batch of them. Less than five thousand Sword Emanations Race beings were near him now. Furthermore, the Sword Emanations King had entered Jiang Yi’s Fire Dragon Sword. Facing tens of thousands of Lunar Beasts howling and approaching, if Jiang Yi did not release any more Sword Emanations Race beings, those outside now were not going to be able to withstand this wave.

However, Jiang Yi did not move!

Not only did he not send any Sword Emanations Race beings out, but he didn’t even open his eyes. He also didn’t play his guqin to suppress the Lunar Beasts, allowing them to come closer and closer.

Ten thousand feet, five thousand feet, three thousand feet... one thousand feet!

Jiang Yi’s eyes finally opened as he stabbed his Fire Dragon Sword into the ground with one hand as his other hand held onto his Divine Tree leaf. His now free hand played a note on the guqin.

Clang!

A soft sound rang out. This sound was not high-pitched and wasn’t fast; it wasn’t even violent!

However—

When this note resounded, all the Lunar Beasts in front of him shuddered violently as the branches and leaves above on the Divine Tree also shook vigorously. All the Lunar Beasts stopped and couldn’t even move forward a single step.

Clang-clang!

Notes from the guqin continued to ring out. As Jiang Yi was only playing with one hand, each note was very slow and very low. It was not as piercing as before and was actually quite melodious. It seemed to be a rather ordinary piece that did not have much power behind it.

Crash!

The tree branches overhead continued to sway as the entire tree moved according to Jiang Yi’s tune. It was just like a beautiful lady dancing. Tens of thousands of Lunar Beasts stood silently a thousand feet away as their green eyes flashed. The Sword Emanations Race beings also stood upright quietly. Except for the soft swaying of the tree branches, only Jiang Yi’s playing resonated and reverberated incessantly.

As this tune ended, five minutes also passed by. Jiang Yi’s hand rested on his guqin as his playing stopped, and the red light in the sky disappeared. At this moment, the Lunar Beasts’ aura diminished significantly. After the red light vanished—without hesitation, all of them retreated underground via all possible tunnels and passageways as tranquility returned to the surroundings.

“Hahahahaha!”

Jiang Yi opened his eyes as he laughed out loud, his red hair flaying about as his white clothing that had been dyed red with blood was also battered by the wind. His laughter was full of happiness and joy. He had also used his heavenly powers in this laughter, and it was very loud, traveling about a five-hundred-thousand-kilometer radius, reverberating in the wilderness without stopping.

Success!

Jiang Yi’s Massacre Intent had indeed ranked up. His Divine Sound Heaven Skill’s lethality had also increased many folds. As for how powerful it had become, Jiang Yi did not know yet. He only knew that his Divine Sound Heaven Skill could now easily suppress the Lunar Beasts. He was now going to survive. Not only could he stay here for three days, but he could even hold out for ten days... a hundred days... or even a hundred years...

Bang!

After his laughter ended, Jiang Yi immediately laid on the ground face up. He didn’t think about anything and didn’t care about anything; he just slept soundly like that. Even if there was a deep rumbling sound every fifteen minutes underground, it also did not wake him up.

He was very tired. He had experienced so many trials and tribulations in this mystic realm; he almost couldn’t catch his breath and broke down. Jiang Yi just wanted to have good sleep now, so that his soul spirit and body could completely be relaxed.

Jiang Yi slept for a full twenty hours; countless underground rumblings did not awaken him. Only when the red light appeared and triggered the Lunar Beasts did their icy-cold aura and the impending danger startle Jiang Yi awake.

After Jiang Yi woke up, he realized the Lunar Beasts were already a thousand feet from him. Jiang Yi hurriedly crawled upwards as both his hands played on the old guqin, suppressing all the Lunar Beasts at once. Five minutes later, after the Lunar Beasts retreated once more Jiang Yi felt as if a heavy burden had lifted from his shoulders. He had slept for twenty hours; his mental state was much better and the mountainous pressure in his heart was also completely gone.

“Cultivate!”

Jiang Yi sat for a while and decided to continue cultivating while quietly waiting for three days to pass. The heaven and earth spirit energy here was akin to that of the Primitive Mystic Realm; his cultivation speed with the Divine Tree leaf was comparable to that of when he was in the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. If he did not seize this opportunity to cultivate, he would really be letting himself down.

Jiang Yi sat cross-legged and mediated as he forgot about everything and entered the deepest state of seclusion. After he went into seclusion, the tree trunk behind him suddenly glowed and shone. A face appeared on the trunk’s surface: it was that of a pretty lady’s face.

That face had a pair of beautiful eyes. These eyes swept a few looks at Jiang Yi as a shadow of a smile appeared on her face. Following that, the tree once again shone as this face disappeared without a trace. Peace and quiet returned once again.
