Chapter 1124: Who Shall be Called a Hero!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At this time, Miao Xiao Miao, who had been looking out from Jun Mo Xie’s bedroom window, could scarcely believe her eyes! Just what kind of abilities was this Evil Monarch displaying? Was this something that was humanly possible?
Looking at Jun Mo Xie strutting through the air free as a fish, Miao Xiao Miao actually felt a sense of calm in her heart!
Somehow, this strange and astonis.h.i.+ng sight was able to bring her a sense of quiet peace!
By now, the number of people who were looking at this shocking sight was no longer limited to just a few!
Behind every window, and even on the ground, countless experts were looking up at the sky with a blank face, as if they were comprehending something!
A sweet and loving smile spread across Mei Xue Yan’s face as she looked at the freely dancing figure in the sky. Among all the people present, she was the one who understood Jun Mo Xie’s strength the most. So only she could truly tell just how huge this new breakthrough was for Jun Mo Xie!
If the Jun Mo Xie from before was an unyielding sword, he had now morphed into a formless sword! It was still as sharp and strong, but its edge did not weaken. It was instead even more dangerous!
However, no one would be able to see that since his edge was extremely hidden!
What was the strongest enemy in the world? What was the most terrifying enemy in the world?
It was the enemy that one did not know of!
An enemy that had no form!
How do you deal with an enemy that you cannot see and do not know of!?
To his enemies, the current Jun Mo Xie was exactly an opponent that could not be seen! This was different from hiding in the Hongjun PaG.o.da or using the Yin Yang Escape to conceal himself! It was a unique ability that belonged only to himself!
Solitary Eagle, Feng Juan Yun, and the Heaven Destroyer and Spirit Devourer soldiers were all looking out of their windows in a daze. Apart from the comprehension in their minds, their eyes were filled with deep respect and wors.h.i.+p!
It was like how one revered a tall mountain!
What Jun Mo Xie was displaying now was an extremely profound realm! This kind of supernatural realm was something that not even one out of 100 Saint Venerable experts would necessarily be able to comprehend! In fact, as long as one managed to comprehend even just a tiny portion of this realm, they would be able to surpa.s.s most people and look down disdainfully at the world!
And Jun Mo Xie had not just comprehended a tiny portion, he had clearly achieved a full understanding of it!
Miao Zhan, Miao Dao and Miao Jian, these three Saint Venerables looked at each other, their faces filled with a strange expression.
Miao Zhan tried to replicate the movements with his cultivation, but just when he had just seen through one of the movements, he realized that the entire sky was already covered with Jun Mo Xie’s afterimage, slowly building into a 1,000,000 strong army…
1,000,000 afterimages!
Each afterimage was displaying a different profound comprehension!
And each afterimage was hiding an intricate conception!
Miao Dao and Miao Jian were similarly intoxicated. Although they still could not understand the movements completely right now, they knew that this was a one in a million opportunity! If they missed it this time, they might not have the chance to encounter something like this in their lives ever again! And that would be the greatest regret of their lives!
So they were all watching with full concentration, memorizing with all their might! If could memorize one more move, it was a huge gain! At this moment, they no longer attempted to comprehend anything, only to try to forcefully memorize as much as possible!
At the same time, the same thought appeared in all of their hearts. After we return, we must persuade the Manor Lord to establish a good relations.h.i.+p with Jun Mo Xie! Even if it’s a little embarra.s.sing to make use of a marriage alliance to do that, we must still do our best to befriend the Evil Monarch Manor!
Even if doing that means becoming enemies with the three Holy Lands!
The gains were greater than the losses!
Because Jun Mo Xie’s speed of growth was simply too terrifying!
Even a real Free and Natural Physique genius would not be able to progress like that!
Especially Miao Zhan—he clearly remembered that just a day before, Jun Mo Xie’s strength was only comparable to them even though he was also a Saint Venerable. He was only around Miao Dao and Miao Jian’s level and was even slightly weaker than himself. But in just the span of a single night, he had reached a realm that was impossible for them to understand; a height that they could only gaze upwards at!
And that was even a breakthrough in his comprehension!
It wasn’t something that could be attained just by an increase in cultivation strength!
A breakthrough in comprehension was an upgrade in the quality of the state!
An expert might only have one instance of epiphany in his life, and it would be enough for that expert to rise far above the crowd! If he was lucky enough to have a second epiphany, it wouldn’t be a dream to become a legendary figure. To have three instances of epiphany would make a person completely without rival in the world!
This was something that was set apart from talent, resources, cultivation level, or battle prowess. One needed luck as well!
And Jun Mo Xie had clearly managed to gain inspiration due to a moment of luck!
This reason was exactly why the three Saint Venerables had made their decision so swiftly! Which expert didn’t go into a long period of seclusion to digest their spark of inspiration or epiphany before slowly building upon it over time?
Who could be like Jun Mo Xie, killing people due to rage in the afternoon, then gaining an epiphany in the evening? What kind of speed was that?! And what kind of luck was that!
Could it be that getting rejected and having your heart broken can bring about an epiphany? If so… why couldn’t our hearts be broken more often?
The experts of the three Holy Lands were only filled with shock as they looked at the afterimages in the sky.
That was the Evil Monarch!
And that was the true strength of the Evil Monarch!
This kind of power was incredibly terrifying!
Judging by the current strength that Jun Mo Xie was displaying right now, even the concentrated attacks of a few peak level Saint Venerables would not neccesarily be able to defeat him!
In fact, there was even a high chance of them being completely wiped out!
Jun Mo Xie, so you are actually this powerful!
After the War for Seizing the Heavens, their two sides still had to have their deciding battle!
But faced with this kind of power, how were they even supposed to fight?
The result that they had predicted earlier—the destruction of the Evil Monarch Manor—was suddenly reversed, and they did not have much confidence anymore!
At this time, Jun Mo Xie’s shocking ‘performance’ had already come to an end. He stood among the huge screen of afterimages with a slight smile. After that, he took a step out!
This one step was exceedingly profound! Or rather, it was extremely strange!
Everyone could feel that with just that single step, he’d already separated himself from all the afterimages!
In that moment, he was himself, the sky was the sky, and the afterimages were afterimages!
The three were different ent.i.ties and had nothing to do with each other!
If he was in his previous world, this phenomena would be considered according to the buddists as: … becoming a Buddha on the spot!
Endless Nirvana, one step rebirth!
Unconfined to Heaven and Earth from hereon!
Independent of people, independent of things, independent of everything of the world!
In the instant that Jun Mo Xie completed his step, the entire heavens shook!
Everyone felt a loud ‘boom’, and the whole world trembled!
This tremor was completely indescribable!
But everyone realized at the same time, that the world was the same and it hadn’t moved!
What moved was only their heart!
That profound and queer step had stepped heavily against their hearts!
The Heaven and Earth in their hearts had completely collapsed in the instant he stepped out!
Completely collapsed!
Utterly destroyed!
A shrill sound rang out, and Jun Mo Xie’s body began to dance in the air again. Each movement was exceedingly pleasant to watch, but each Saint Venerable could clearly feel that his movements all carried a hint of a kind of Dao!
At the same time, a voice as crisp and sharp as a sword began to rise.
“The Sun has set, and the Moon is as before;
Thousands of li of land and water are free for me to traverse!
The singing voice has stopped, and I survey the world,
As I invite the moon to lodge with me in the depths of the green mountains!
Who shall be called heroes, it belongs only to me, suffering through untold trials and tribulations!
In exchange for your affection of old,
Who shall be called heroes, it belongs only to me,
This boiling blood exhausted and turned into dust, returning to the soil, for only a sweet glance from you!
The place where I awakened from my dream, was where I had come,
The morning breeze blows, which family’s colors are flapping and the drums drumming,
Who shall be called heroes, it belongs only to me, suffering through untold trials and tribulations;
In exchange for your affection of old,
This boiling blood exhausted and turned into dust, returning to the soil, for only a sweet glance from you!
Who shall be called heroes, it belongs only to me!”
The clear singing voice resounded through the entire area, filling the sky. Jun Mo Xie was clearly the only person singing, but it sounded as if there were countless voices providing accompaniment to him!
Everyone felt the same thing, hearing it clearly in their ears!
This was a kind of music that had never appeared in this world before!
Even if the crowd was unable to understand music, this moment still caused them to be completely intoxicated!
As Jun Mo Xie sang, the strange sights of the Heaven and Earth became even more apparent.
When he sang “The Sun has set, and the Moon is as before”, everyone felt that the sky had darkened, and the moon was rising up.
With the second sentence ‘thousands of li of land and water are free for me to traverse’, everyone could see the rivers and mountains and the endless sky above their heads pa.s.sing them rapidly with the song!
When he sang ‘as I invite the moon to lodge with me in the depths of the green mountains’, everyone felt as if all the moonlight in the sky had been gathered into Jun Mo Xie’s grasp!
This was a song about an iron-blooded but warm-hearted man’s journey through the pugilistic world! It was desolate and heroic, overbearing and considerate, conceited and proud, perfectly combining the endless hards.h.i.+ps and tenderness for his family, touching the crowd and shaking the soul!
***
As his voice rose up, Jun Mo Xie’s figure began to move slowly! With every movement, the countless afterimages began to disappear and merge back with his body…
By the time the last sentence was finished, all the afterimages had disappeared!
Jun Mo Xie stood proudly in the air, with his hands behind his back. His eyes were full of stubborness from deep love, distant and illusory. With a slight raise of his sword-like brows, he smiled lightly and turned around lightly, before taking another step out!
And with that step, his entire body… disappeared!
