Talisman Emperor
Chapter 686 Xiao Yan Don't Cry
Seven days later, Chen Xi woke up.
The first person he saw after he opened his eyes was a beautiful and cute little girl wearing a beast leather suit, and she held an ugly large bowl while giving him some medicinal soup.
The medicine is bitter. Chen Xi tasted it carefully for a moment and noticed that there was practically no spirit medicine within this medicinal soul, and other than allowing it to replenish the water he needed, he said, that's totally useless.
But the little girl looked as if she was holding a bowl of rare divine treasures, and she carefully placed it on the side of her mouth and seemed to be very afraid of dropping that drop.
"Where is this?" Chen Xi spoke in an extremely hoarse voice that seemed to have been grinded from the sand, and even she herself was startled for a moment before she could not be bothered to notice this.
The overwhelming pain that felt like a lump of ants devouring his heart once again engulfed his entire body, and it was painful to the point that his brows were tightly intertwined with each other while a layer of cold sweat poured out from his forehead.
Only now did he feel that the cracked open wounds all over his body had been wrapped by a layer of soft beast skin, and his flesh and blood had completely dried up. Not to mention the Shaman Energy, even his spirit and vitality seemed to have been depleted.
Moreover, the situation inside his body was even more severe. His veins had split inch by inch while his internal organs were damaged, dim, and without luster. Even his dantian looked like a completely empty and dried up broken ground, whereas his Black Hole World had collapsed and crumbled to the point of being impossible to find.
It could be said that he was currently no different from a disabled person.
"ah! You're up! Uncle Meng Wei, Aunt Mo Ya, this big brother has woken up! ”The beautiful and cute little girl in the beast leather clothes was stunned, and she rushed out of the tent while crying in a clear voice. During this process, he still held tightly to the large bowl filled with medicinal soup and did not drop a single drop as if he was holding a bowl of the rarest delicacy in the world.
"Meng Wei? Mo Yes? "Chen Xi frowned, and then she forcefully endured the intense pain all over her body and measured her surroundings.
This was a very simple and rugged animal skin tent, and there were practically no decorations and furniture inside. There was only a piece of burning wood in the middle and it emitted a yellow light and flickered pale.
Everything here was primitive, ancient, and overwhelmed by an indescribable feeling of backwardness.
The lid to the tent was lifted open and a man and woman walked in. The man was tall, strong, and very strong. His muscles looked like many rocks, causing him to be filled with extreme explosive force.
On the other hand, the woman has a tall and well-proportioned body, a beautiful appearance, and capable cushioning.
Just like the beautiful little girl from before, the two of them were wearing beast skin clothes, and the man was carrying a pitch-black bow made from beast horns, which was made from beast tamers, while the woman's waist had a whip made from the tendons of ferocious beasts that coiled around her.
Clearly, both of them were figures that possessed martial prowess.
When he saw these two people, Chen Xi instantly knew that Meng Wei and Mo Ya whom the little girl was talking about was probably the two of them.
"You're awake." Meng Wei walked forward with large strides, and a hint of excitement appeared on her rough and dashing face as she looked at Chen Xi who had opened her eyes.
"Hmph! He's already thrown away so much of our food and medicinal ingredients! If he still does not wake up, then even if Lord Priest blames me, I will definitely kill him! "Mo Ya grunted coldly. His eyes were filled with hostility as he looked at Chen Xi, and he did not hide his hatred at all.
Chen Xi was stunned. He wants to kill me just for food and medicine?
If he had heard such words in the past, he would definitely feel it was unbelievable. After all, cultivators like him did not need food to fill their stomachs, and just absorbing spirit energy was enough for them to live for a long time. Even if they were injured, they practically did not require ordinary medicinal ingredients.
Now, however, when he saw Mo Ya's solemn and deadly expression, he vaguely felt that perhaps food and medicinal ingredients were related to their life and survival. This caused him to have a deeper feeling that the place he appeared at this moment seemed to be very different from the places he had known in the past.
"Mo Yes, that's enough!" Meng Wei frowned as she reprimanded Mo Ya with a light voice.
Mo Ya remained indifferent, the hostility on her face did not disperse in the slightest, and she was stubborn and unyielding.
This was the first time Chen Xi had met Meng Wei and Mo Ya. The atmosphere was awkward, and it could not be considered a happy meeting.
Seven more days passed.
Chen Xi had already recovered from the strength and could barely stand up. But the intense pain throughout his body still remained, whereas the severe damage and injuries within his body had not changed for the better in the slightest.
The reason is very simple. His Blackhole world no longer existed, whereas his body lacked vital blood. Moreover, his vitality was practically drying up, so it was simply not enough to make him cultivate and recover.
The only thing that he felt lucky was that the Dark sapling Parasol still remained in his Dantian and exuded an Eternal Energy that gradually repaired his broken blood vessels, tendons, and bones.
He believed that it would not be long before he was fully capable of moving as usual. But it was extremely difficult to recover his cultivation.
After all, the Black Hole World had been shattered apart by Bing Shitian's attack, and had been destroyed to nothing. It was equivalent to destroying his Dao Foundation, and he was completely incapable of cultivating in such a short period of time.
Unfortunately, since ancient times until now, after the Dao Foundation of a cultivator was destroyed, there were practically no cultivators capable of reconstructing it, and it was impossible to find a precedent.
It was too difficult because the Dao Foundation was the foundation of a cultivator to establish himself in the heavens and on earth. It was a foundation established from the first step of one taking the path of cultivation. So once it is destroyed, the repair is not as easy as it sounds.
Bing Shitian's! Chen Xi gnashed her teeth with hatred, and her expression was extremely grim as she sensed the condition of her body. All of this was caused by Bing Shitian, and he would definitely pay him ten times over in the future! Ever since he started cultivating up until now, he had never hated someone so madly, and if not for the help of the small cauldron in the end back then, he would have almost perished on the spot.
Do you think you can reclaim Xiuyi by destroying my Dao Foundation ?! Not even dreaming about it! As long as I am alive, I, Chen Xi, will definitely be able to rebuild myself and ascend to the Grand Dao once more! A trace of cruelty flashed in Chen Xi's eyes, and he was resolute. It was absolutely impossible to make him sad and accept a destiny like this.
Chen Xi took a deep breath and tried hard to calm herself down before standing up and walking out of the tent.
During these past few days, he had understood from Meng Wei that this place was called the Ninth Hell, and it was a very foreign place to him. Even The Dark Reverie Manual did not have a description of the Ninth Hell, and it seemed like the place was forgotten.
Moreover, Meng Wei and the others were natives of the Ninth Hell, and they called themselves the Ninth Remnant of Hell. Only this address method allowed Chen Xi to feel an unusual feeling from them.
Chen Xi did not know any further information.
Right now, he was simply observing that Meng Wei and the others were trudging through day and night, and they seemed to be heading somewhere. They would advance several thousand kilometers each day, and they would only leave a few hours between them to eat and rest.
Moreover, this group only had nine elite guards, whereas children and teenagers occupied the largest number. They rushed over every day, and they looked like they were escaping from a calamity.
By this time, the group had already traveled all day, and they were camping in a remote area covered in gravel.
Chen Xi looked at the group of youths and children practicing as she walked out of the tent.
On the other hand, Meng Wei was in charge of teaching this little fellow's cultivation technique. He seemed to be the leader of this group and had rather great authority. He is strong, dashing, and very accepting of the respect and support of others.
“Please note your footwork. Before you can all learn to fly, your footwork is the only thing you can take advantage of! ”
"Strength! How many times have I said it? Your power should be solidified as if it were one and given away quickly like a lightning strike before being pulled in the same way. Only in this way can you all cultivate to the realm of ability to freely control your power! ”
"Right! Like this! You should all remember that the purpose of all moves is to kill your enemies. It has to be quick and ruthless, and you really can't hesitate in the least. If not, you might be dead! ”
Chen Xi looked at it with a glance that what Meng Wei taught was some very basic content, and even though her cultivation was lost, her intelligent ability was still very accurate.
Meng Wei's hands-on battle experience was abundant, so the basic content she taught was quite steady and practical, and even Chen Xi felt that she benefited greatly from listening to Meng Wei.
Ever since he started cultivating until now, Chen Xi had practically stumbled along the way, and there was rarely anyone guiding him personally. Especially when his cultivation was gone now, Chen Xi often seemed to have learned something when he listened to Meng Wei explain and teach.
He even started researching himself. He felt that he had learned so many shocking Dao Arts and grasped so many supreme Divine Abilities, yet no one was mastered, either, causing it to be unable to bring out all of its power instead.
Perhaps I can try tidying up all of my Dao Art and Divine Abilities before throwing away the complexity within. If I can merge and connect them together before cultivating something that belongs to me, then my strength will probably become even more powerful. As soon as this thought appeared in his mind, he was instantly stunned as he fell into deep contemplation.
"Enough! Xiao Yan, come back here! You are not allowed to send food and medicinal ingredients to that trash again! "After a while, Chen Xi was suddenly jolted awake by the scolding voice. When he raised his eyes to look up, he saw that Xiao Yan was holding a large bowl of steamed medicinal soup with both hands while walking towards him from afar.
Unfortunately, her thin little body was blocked by Mo Ya who carried an angry expression.
“But this is something Grandpa Imam ordered me to do. After all, this brother is very pitiful. ”Xiao Yan lowered his little head as he spoke weakly.
Slap on!
Mo Ya raised her hand and directly smashed the medicine bowl before she cussed furiously. "Enough! We've thrown away too much food and medicine. Could it be that you want all our clansmen to travel on empty stomachs? Could it be that you want our injured clan to lose their lives in the end because there are no medicinal ingredients to take care of them? "
Xiao Yan pursed his little lips while his big eyes were filled with tears when scolded like this, and then he burst into tears.
"Mo Yes, what are you doing !?" Meng Wei stormed and frowned as she said in a low voice, "Xiao Yan is still a child, how can you vent your anger on him?"
The group of young men and young children who were practicing surrounded them as well, and they all remained silent when they saw Xiao Yan and Mo Ya who were crying out which carried angry expressions.
But the gazes they shot at Chen Xi were filled with hostility as they seemed to think that it was precisely because of the appearance of this outsider that Aunt Mo Ya they would become extremely angry.
Chen Xi was stunned. He walked over and squeezed the crowd before he leaned over to hug the crying Xiao Yan while lightly patting his back, and he said in a soft voice, "Xiao Yan, don't cry, good girl."
