Chapter 271: Sojourner Of Fangshan Wang Sengbian

Chapter 271: Sojourner Of Fangshan Wang Sengbian

Chen Mo stood in the void of Heaven and Earth, where yellow qi frothed. This yellow qi was like dust or mist, like smoke or rain, like the brilliance that formed the world, making Chen Mo recall a phrase – Heaven, Earth, Dark, Yellow.

Chen Mo seemed to be in an ancient mystery.¹ He was unable to speak, unable to move. In front of him, a little girl appeared, standing with chariot and crown in this Dark Yellow world.² The crown's tassels jingled; she was covered in a brocade.

Nianyou??

Chen Mo was startled. He wanted to go over there with all his might.

All of a sudden, a dragon roar boomed from all directions. The yellow qi cleared away, and an enormous ten thousand zhang long dragon emerged from the mystery. It was so large that a Star Field seemed to turn into a dust speck before it. The yellow dragon stared at the miniscule Chen Mo. Suddenly, it let out a roar and pounced towards Nianyou.

"Look out!"

Chen Mo was torn with anxiety, throwing off the confines of space as he raced towards Nianyou.

The ten thousand zhang yellow dragon swallowed Nianyou, and then the yellow qi in the space rapidly swirled, forming an ancient cosmic vortex that sucked in Chen Mo.

Chen Mo's eyes shot open. The entire scene had vanished into thin air, and what entered his eyes was a chain of continuous and massive mountains.

A dream??

When Chen Mo moved, his entire body was immediately racked with sharp pain.

"You need to be a bit more careful."

The elegant and smooth voice of a woman came from nearby.

Chen Mo spotted Qin Weiyu freshening up by a small creek.

"What about Nianyou?" Chen Mo recalled that strange dream just now.

"Nothing at all."

Qin Weiyu indicated to Nianyou, who was sleeping on Chen Mo's other side. Other than some weakness, there were no other problems. Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to get up, but his chest was incomparably painful.

"If it was not for you cultivating the Black Turtle, you would already be dead." Qin Weiyu walked over, and she carefully propped Chen Mo up. The wounds on Chen Mo's body were already wrapped up simply by her. For the moment, his life was not in danger.

To a cultivator who was already God Transformation, as long as they did not die on the spot, it would be difficult to die from wounds that were more serious than this.

The aftereffects of the Black Turtle Seven Changes combined with Huan Wen's spear wound nearly took his life. If it was any other cultivator, perhaps even a first-rate Fate Realization Realm cultivator would have already been completely destroyed. Fortunately, the Black Meridians of his Black Turtle were already mostly developed, allowing him to avert this disaster. Recalling how easily Huan Wen killed top-notch cultivators like Qiao Yuyu a moments ago, Chen Mo had some lingering fears.

The Earthly Attacking Star honestly was too powerful.

"I was completely outmatched." Chen Mo was very powerless. This time, he had exhausted all of his tricks, yet even in a situation when Huan Wen did not use her Phoenix Dark Rank, he was still defeated. The enormous disparity between them was dispiriting.

Qin Weiyu nonchalantly said: "Huan Wen already is Yellow Court Realm, and her Earthly Fiend Star Energy is endless. Your Star Energy has limits. How could you be her opponent."

"In the end, was it Nianyou who saved us?" Chen Mo recalled that harrowing scene.

"Nianyou's Star Name is very mysterious…Most likely, there is a reason. You need to worry." Qin Weiyu solemnly said.

Worry?

Chen Mo grunted.

"Where are we right now?" Chen Mo meditated.

"Still at Weightbearer Mountain."

"Are you alright?"

"Do not worry about me, worry about yourself first. I fear your Northern Dipper has been seized by Huan Wen." Qin Weiyu warned.

Chen Mo sighed. In the end, when Huan Wen used her Dark Rank, he could only use Northern Dipper as a shield to disperse a portion of the incoming Star Energy. Otherwise, Nianyou's teleportation could not have saved them.

"What do you plan to do now?" Qin Weiyu asked: "Huan Wen definitely believes she killed you. Otherwise, she inevitably would be pursuing you. You ought to have thoroughly sensed the disparity between you and a Yellow Court Star General now." The Magpie Bridge Immortal used an apathetic expression to look at Chen Mo. The thought that she did not want Chen Mo to go persist in killing Huan Wen was practically hung upon her face.

This time, Chen Mo could be said to have been suppressed in all aspects by Huan Wen, and this was result after Huan Wen had fought Wang Sengbian. The goddess of fortune perhaps would not look upon him so favorably in the next direct confrontation. Any other cultivator should know by now that facing a Star General was a very unwise choice. The best choice was to preserve and nurture his strength, to cultivate in secret,

Her thought process very quickly received a disappointing answer from Chen Mo's resolute expression.

"Do you actually want to die? A gentleman would not be ten years late in taking revenge. To face the Yellow Court Huan Wen, a cultivator needs to have at least Human Immortal strength for a head-on battle. Otherwise, you will absolutely have no chance." Qin Weiyu asserted.

"Human Immortal?" Chen Mo blinked. This was the first time he had heard of this Realm. "Don't tell me I can actually cultivate to become an immortal?"

"Of course, the cultivators in the Inner Star Field are able to enter the Immortal level. Only an Immortal Master like this can barely face a Star General. Right now, it is suicide for you."

"I cannot wait that long. Huan Wen is certain to make her move during the Title Bestowal Ceremony." Chen Mo's brow locked tight.

Qin Weiyu bluntly said: "And what can you do? Right now, even your weapon has been taken."

Their discussion disturbed Nianyou. The little loli groaned and slowly woke up. She walked over and grabbed the hem of Chen Mo's clothes, a look of great worry upon her face.

"Many thanks to you, Nianyou." Chen Mo stroked her head.

"We should leave this place for now, then devise a plan." Qin Weiyu said.

The Weightbearer Mountains stretched across a boundless several tens of thousands of li. Chen Mo's Star Energy was slowly recovering, but it was still not enough to operate the Flying Chariot. Qin Weiyu's wounds were better than his, and she was aleady mostly recovered. The dangers they met in the Weightbearer Mountains were dispatched by her.

Several days later.

Chen Mo was in the middle of cultivating the Black Meridians of the Black Turtle when, all of a sudden, the birds in the trees were startled.

Qin Weiyu opened her eyes from meditation. The Flying Hawk Departing Thoughts flew around her body.

Chen Mo ended his cultivation and was fully alert. After a moment, several strange birds appeared in the sky above. Northern Barbarian men sat upon these birds, and upon seeing Chen Mo's group, one of the men waved his hand downwards. His bird dove.

"Northern Barbarians." Qin Weiyu's expression sank.

Weightbearer Mountian was still the domain of the Northern Barbarians. Perhaps this bode ill for them.

"Your Distinguished Selves, Master would like to meet you two. Please allow us to guide you." The man spoke. His voice was full of power, like an ancient bell, and it was very characteristic of the Northern Barbarians. 

"Master? Wang Sengbian?" Qin Weiyu pondered.

"Yes."

Qin Weiyu glanced at Chen Mo.

"Why does she seek us?" Chen Mo asked.

"Master does not wish to harm you two at all. She merely would like to form an alliance with Your Highness Chen Mo." That person said.

"Seems she knows your identity." Qin Weiyu said.

"Taking a look would be alright." During the battle for the Star Mansion Spirit Stones, Wang Sengbian was defeated by Huan Wen and bolted. It could be said that they shared the same target. Of course, this place was the Northern Barbarians' domain. Perhaps they would be unable to refuse.

The group sat on top of another large bird and flew into the mountains.

The bird transported them to one of Weightbearer Mountain's peaks, where Chen Mo spotted Wang Sengbian.

The woman's long clothes were simple and unadorned. She sat upright like an ancient tree on top of a green rock.

The wounds from her fight against Huan Wen still remained on her body. Her face had an expression of pain, and she appeared to be very feeble. She had received Huan Wen's Phoenix Dark Rank. To be able to survive was already considered not bad.

"Master."

The Northern Barbarians respectfully reported.

"You may withdraw for now." 

Wang Sengbian opened her eyes, ending her meditation.

The other Northern Barbarians left this peak one after the other.

"This place is deficient in Star Energy. Your recovery will be a bit slow." Qin Weiyu informed her.

"The Northern Barbarians' lands, these mountains that stretch over ten thousand li, this is a not a place where Star Energy is abundant at all. Otherwise, I would have already surpassed Huan Wen, and she would not behave so atrociously." Wang Sengbian's expression darkened.

Qin Weiyu nodded and said nothing more.

Chen Mo looked curiously at Wang Sengbian. In China's history, Wang Sengbian lived during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period. Although he could not compare to Huan Wen, he did have the achievement of defeating Hou Jing. It was a pity that history evaluated him as somewhat averse to taking risks. In the end, he was killed by Chen Baxian.

"Is there something on my face worth such close scrutiny from you?" Wang Sengbian coldly grinned.

Chen Mo fake coughed and apologized in embarrassment.

Every time he saw these Star Generals who had inherited Star Names, he always was unable to help but take more than one glance at them.

"Your Highness Chen Mo really is as remarkably courageous as the rumors say." Wang Sengbian cracked a smile.

"You know me?" Chen Mo asked.

"Supreme General of the North Chen Qi's Fourth Brother, the White Clothed Tanhua of the latest Great Chong Dynasty Divine Warrior Examination. How could I not know. Although the Northern Barbarians are located far away, this information nevertheless is enough to startle the Star Field." Wang Sengbian praised him: "Your Chen Family is indeed exceptional."

"Why are you looking for me?" Chen Mo said: "You and I should be on two different, irreconcilable sides."

"I know you want to kill Huan Wen, too, do you not?" Wang Sengbian stood up, manifesting her long saber, the Fangshan Eastern Cloud. This gesture immediately made Qin Weiyu stretch her awareness taut.

Seeing this detail, Wang Sengbian smiled.

"To be able to make a Star General so protective of you, you expand my horizons, Chen Mo."

"I know all about the things between you and Huan Wen in the Northern Barbarian territory." Wang Sengbian flatly said. She slowly waved the saber through the air, as if she was demonstrating her sword techniques.

"Then you should know that I nearly died to Huan Wen's hand." Chen Mo was very blunt.

"But here you stand before me right now, alive." Wang Sengbian stopped waving her sword and turned around.

"I had good luck, nothing more."

Wang Sengbian sternly said: "I have never believed in luck. That you are able to survive demonstrates that you have this strength."

"Just what are you planning?" Chen Mo impatiently asked. His entire body at the moment was covered in wounds, and he completely did not have interest in beating around the bush with Wang Sengbian.

"We form an alliance. I will help you kill Huan Wen!"

Chen Mo and Qin Weiyu looked at each other. If not for seeing Wang Sengbian's earnest expression, Chen Mo would nearly have believed she was sleeptalking. Wang Sengbian herself was almost killed by Huan Wen. What could she help him with. Even if they signed a contract, hers would not be nearly as useful as Auntie's.

"How do you want help me?" Chen Mo curiously asked.

"Are you not cultivating the Book Of Changes Black Turtle chapter?" Wang Sengbian asked.

"Indeed."

"As expected. Only cultivators who have cultivated the Book Of Changes Black Turtle have the qualifications to withstand a Star General's attack."

"‘Sojourner Of Fangshan,' just what do you want to say?" Qin Weiyu wrinkled her brow.

Wang Sengbian did not explain clearly at all: "I will help you cultivate here in the Northern Barbarian lands. I will impart to you my Eastern Cloud swordsmanship. I clashed with Huan Wen, my experience will be enormous help to you."

Chen Mo was unable to deny this point, "But it's too delusional to confront Huan Wen like this."

"Of course it will not be so simple. To face the Yellow Court Realm Huan Wen, you must first have the capability to counter Yellow Court Realm."

"You want to make me cultivate to Human Immortal? This is basically impossible." Chen Mo shook his head.

"No, I will inform you of the Northern Barbarian Weightbearer Mountain's greatest secret."

"Sojourner Of Fangshan" Wang Sengbian suddenly stared at the mountain that was as blue as the sea. She slashed with the Star Weapon in her hand, and a sunset-colored saber-light promptly cut apart the clouds.

1. "Mystery" seems to be referring to a place in this context. ?
2. Chariot and crown are symbols of authority. ?
