Chapter 1701 - 1701 Is the Price Yu Huang Paid Enough?
1701 Is the Price Yu Huang Paid Enough?
In the past, Si Cheng’s personal combat strength was ranked in the top three in the s.p.a.ce Administration. But now, he, who was only a Prime Master, had the weakest combat strength.
It was naturally easy for the branch director of the Hundred Gra.s.s Continent to deal with Si Cheng.
However, as soon as the branch director of the Hundred Herbs Continent circulated his spiritual energy, he sensed an invisible pressure wrapping around him from all directions. The tendons in his entire body seemed to be tightly wrapped by a thin hemp rope, and he was unable to use his spiritual energy at all.
This…
There was only one person present who could silently suppress his spiritual energy.
The branch director of the Hundred Herbs Continent looked at Mo Xiao in shock.
When he met Mo Xiao’s emotionless blue eyes, the branch director immediately cowered. Not only did he lose his aggressive stance, but he even lowered his head.
d.a.m.n it, he had forgotten that Mo Xiao was Yu Huang’s G.o.dfather.
“Everyone, don’t forget that Yu Huang doesn’t owe anyone, let alone the three thousand worlds. Regardless of whether she has the strength to resist the Great Dao or not, you guys shouldn’t take everything for granted.” Mo Xiao’s words frightened everyone so much that they adjusted their expressions.
At least, on the surface, they didn’t dare to be as relaxed as before.
Si Cheng placed his left hand on the table and pressed his fingers on the bridge of his nose in frustration. As he smoked, he said, “You’ve only heard of how glorious and mighty it is, but no one knows that every time she refines a drop of heart blood, she has to endure the pain of their meridians breaking and recombining day and night. This pain will last for at least a few days. It’s precisely because cultivating this cultivation technique is too painful and torturous that in the history of the cultivation world, other than Jing Huang and Yu Huang, no one has successfully mastered the Beast Taming Art.”
“Just refining a drop of heart blood can torture people to the point of going crazy. However, do you guys know what stupid thing Yu Huang did in order to accelerate the refining speed and fight for the three thousand worlds’ survival?”
As Si Cheng looked ahead with a blank gaze, his heart ached for Yu Huang.
Jiang Chen asked softly, “What did she do?”
The cigarette burned his finger, but Si Cheng seemed oblivious.
He said dejectedly, “At the risk of dying, she refined a hundred heart blood at once. Everyone knows that the heart blood carries the power of a cultivator’s own bloodline. When a hundred bloodline powers of different energies fight in Yu Huang’s body at the same time, what kind of pain will she endure? If she’s not careful, she might die.”
At this moment, the aroma of roasted flesh wafted over. Only then did Mo Xiao notice that Si Cheng’s fingers had been burned by the cigarette b.u.t.t.
“Si Cheng, throw the cigarette away.” Mo Xiao’s words sobered Si Cheng up.
After coming back to his senses, Si Cheng hurriedly extinguished the cigarette.
He looked at the branch director of the Hundred Gra.s.s Continent, who had mocked Yu Huang earlier, as he said angrily, “You said that she did all of this to achieve success and fame, but do you know that she has been fighting against the Grim Reaper day and night? She has been hovering in front of the gates of h.e.l.l!”
“Prime Emperor Ling Yu, you really should go to Cang Lang Continent’s Ice Blazing City to take a look with your own eyes. Only by seeing it with your own eyes will you know how strong the resentment aura around Yu Huang’s seclusion place is. Only by personally smelling it will you know how strong the smell of blood and decay is! There, you might not be able to see the blue sky and white clouds when you raise your head, but you will definitely be able to see crows waiting to devour Yu Huang’s rotten flesh!”
“Her body has yet to recover from its old injuries, but new injuries keep appearing. Her body is constantly rotting and growing…” As he spoke, tears fell from Si Cheng’s eyes. Then, he covered his face with his hands as he said in pain, “In order not to let her family and loved ones worry, in order to rea.s.sure the citizens of the Ice Blazing City, she actually cast a silencing spell on herself. This way, she will bear all the pain alone. ”
“How old is she?!”
“She’s only in her thirties! She has two hungry children at home. They haven’t seen their mother since their birth!”
Si Cheng wiped his tears and looked at Prime Emperor Ling Yu as he asked him, “In order to become a hero, isn’t the price Yu Huang paid enough?”
Prime Emperor Ling Yu was rendered speechless by Si Cheng’s question.
This was the first time Prime Emperor Jiang Chen and the branch directors of the other worlds had heard of Yu Huang’s situation. They thought that cultivating the Beast Taming Art was as easy as them breaking through the bottleneck in seclusion, but they didn’t expect it to be so torturous.
At this moment, Mo Xiao knocked on the table gently. When everyone looked in his direction, he said, “Everyone, you have to remember to never place your hopes of survival on others. You all treat Yu Huang as your savior and wait for her to save the three thousand worlds, but what if Yu Huang dies during the process of refining the heart blood? What if the Great Dao finds an opportunity to secretly kill Yu Huang?”
“Accidents can happen at any time. No one can be anyone else’s savior.”
“Instead of placing your hopes on others, it’s better to raise the combat strength of your world to the strongest level.” With that said, Si Cheng left.
Si Cheng also left after him.
However, the others sat in the conference room quietly.
Everyone was reflecting.
Prime Emperor Jiang Chen said, “Mr. Mo Xiao is right. We can’t place all our hopes on Madam Yu Huang.” Then, he suddenly raised his head and glanced at Prime Emperor Ling Yu as he said with a sneer, “Prime Emperor Ling Yu, not every savior cares about being remembered and loved. Most experts who sacrifice their lives for the commoners never think about illusory honor and praise when they sacrifice their lives, but about the safety of the commoners and their homeland.”
“Don’t use your narrow-minded mentality to guess the thoughts of great people. That would be an insult.”
Upon hearing Prime Emperor Jiang Chen’s words, Prime Emperor Ling Yu felt ashamed. Many branch directors who had the same thoughts about Yu Huang as Prime Emperor Ling Yu also lowered their heads in shame.

After leaving the interstellar city, Si Cheng and Mo Xiao arrived at the Ice Blazing City.
It was 11 AM at this moment, but the sky of the Ice Blazing City was dark. This was because groups of crows were circling in the sky and flapping their wings while staring greedily at the desert where the Blazing Flame Pond was.
The rotten smell became stronger and stronger.
That was the Divine Feather Phoenix. If they could eat a piece of the Divine Feather Phoenix’s flesh and blood, they would definitely benefit greatly.
A man and woman sat cross-legged in the desert in front of the entrance of the Blazing Flame Pond. The man’s body was covered in sand, while the woman stared at the crows in the sky angrily. When she thought about how these crows were guarding here to wait for Yu Huang to die and eat her flesh, Jing Rujiu wished she could kill them all.
But they were just a group of wild beasts that were driven by their natural instincts to chase after rotten flesh. What use would it be even if she killed them?
