Chapter 139 Old man... Are you in such a hurry to die?
Chapter 139 Old man... Are you in such a hurry to die?
The god, whose body was bathed in terrifying flames, waved his hand, stopping the two Outer Gods standing behind him who were about to say something.
"Alright, may I ask what the Celestial Venerable desires?"
Seeing that the Sun God had yielded, the Celestial Venerable nodded in satisfaction.
“You are a promising young man. Leave your Wind God Pearl behind and you may leave.”
"Don't try anything funny, your little tricks won't escape my eyes..."
Upon hearing this, Feng Shenxiu, who had originally planned to play the role of the "substitute prince" trick, turned bitter and reluctantly took out a blue bead accompanied by scattered gusts of wind from his body.
With a wave of his hand, the Celestial Venerable summoned the azure Wind God Pearl back into his hand.
"Alright...you can get out of here now..."
After checking and finding nothing amiss, the Celestial Venerable waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a pack of wild dogs, before turning his gaze to the white-haired youth sitting cross-legged on the ice field.
Noticing that Yuanshi Tianzun's gaze had shifted elsewhere, the three Egyptian gods, led by the sun god, also followed his gaze.
Before they could investigate further, the Celestial Venerable's calm voice rang in their ears again.
"You have five seconds. If you stay here any longer, it won't just be a Wind God Pearl..."
Upon hearing this, the Sun God gave the Primordial Celestial Venerable, who had his back to them, a sinister look. Although he wanted to make a move, reason told him that if he acted rashly with just a few of them, he would definitely be doomed!
He slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and gritted his teeth as he addressed the three people beside him.
"let's go!"
In less than two breaths, the two outer gods standing behind the sun god carried the half-dead wind god across the border and into the mist.
After sensing that their presence had completely disappeared, Yuanshi Tianzun slowly landed beside Li Jie on auspicious clouds.
He pointed his finger into the air, and Li Jie's chaotic Qi Sea instantly became calm.
After sensing the changes in Li Jie's body, the Celestial Venerable couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.
"How come this kid has so much world origin in his body after just a short time? What went wrong?"
Unable to understand, he stretched out his other hand and began to divine on the spot.
Before long, the Celestial Venerable unexpectedly opened his eyes.
"Not bad, not bad... Could this be considered a blessing in disguise?"
"But... after the Immortal Swords Zhuxian and Juexian absorbed the world's origin, can he still use them?"
"If, by some twist of fate, they were to recover to their prime..."
"Does that mean we can move the plan forward?"
After muttering softly for a while, the Celestial Venerable withdrew his intent from invading Li Jie's dantian.
Once the cyan true energy within his body had completely stabilized, Li Jie opened his bloodshot eyes.
Upon seeing the familiar old man in plain clothes, he quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"Tianzun."
The Celestial Venerable smiled and waved his hand, indicating that Li Jie did not need to be so polite. Then, he looked at Li Jie's dantian and called out softly.
"Zhu Xian, Jue Xian, I have traveled thousands of miles in my spirit to this place, are you unwilling to come out and meet me?"
Upon hearing the Celestial Venerable's call, two figures, one white and one blue, floated out from within Li Jie's Qi Sea and stood beside him.
They rolled their eyes at the Plain-Clad Celestial Venerable and spoke coldly.
"What's wrong, old man? Tired of living and looking for death?"
Old man?
court death?
Upon hearing the two women's voices, Li Jie's eyes widened in disbelief. He hurriedly waved his hand at them, fearing that they might actually kill the Heavenly Venerable in a fit of anger.
Although he might not be able to win, Li Jie didn't want to see anyone get injured, no matter who it was.
"Don't worry, young friend Li Jie. These girls are just a bit feisty, but they won't lay a hand on me."
The Celestial Venerable stroked his beard lightly and said with a smile in his eyes.
Upon seeing the two women appear, he first sensed their auras, then nodded knowingly.
"He has indeed recovered. It seems he has done you a great favor."
Now, Li Jie was a little confused. Just as he was about to ask, the Celestial Venerable continued to speak.
What are you two planning to do?
"This kid can't use such power right now. How about we come with me and go cause some trouble for those bastards?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jie was stunned.
So the Celestial Venerable came here to kidnap people?
Then, he spoke anxiously.
"Seriously... Can't you have a little bit of the demeanor of a strong person? I finally managed to feed them, and you come and break off the corn?"
"At least let me warm up for a bit..."
Upon hearing this, the two sword spirits of the immortal swords, who had existed for countless epochs, blushed with embarrassment.
Even the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning showed a look of astonishment.
The atmosphere in the room became somewhat awkward for a moment.
Seeing that neither of the two sword spirits answered, the Celestial Venerable took the opportunity to break the silence first.
"I'm just saying this; whether you want to come with me or not is up to you to decide."
Hearing that the Celestial Venerable's meaning was not forceful, Li Jie opportunely changed the subject and spoke up.
What brings you here, sir?
"Could it be that they came here specifically to take Xian'er and Xiao Jue away...?"
Fairy?
Xiao Jue?
Upon hearing Li Jie's words, the Celestial Venerable first gave the two women a mocking look.
It's been a long time since I've heard that kind of address...
And they don't refuse?
Could something be wrong?
Seeing the intense flames of gossip rising in the Heavenly Venerable's eyes, Xian'er coughed lightly and spoke.
"Old man, he's asking you a question..."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun awkwardly stroked his beard and explained to Li Jie.
"I was just passing by."
"I came to the Northern Territory mainly to deal with the Fengdu matter, but I didn't expect to run into those little guys who smuggled themselves in and caused trouble. After sensing their presence, I decided to come here first to check the situation."
"I never expected... that you could actually push that so-called Wind God to this point..."
At this point, as if he had just remembered something, the Celestial Venerable handed the Wind God Pearl, which he had just extorted, to Li Jie.
"Look, look, people get old, they can't remember things anymore..."
"This is a gift left by that kid's parents when they came to pick him up. They said they wanted to keep it for you as a souvenir, and I couldn't stop them. You can imagine how much trouble this has caused..."
Upon hearing this, the two sword spirits spoke coldly, despite Li Jie's astonished expression.
"Old man, speak like a human being!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi Tianzun's expression stiffened, and he spoke in a serious tone.
"That young man Feng left behind his natal artifact to save his life, but he's unlikely to amount to anything now."
After Yuanshi Tianzun finished speaking, Li Jie also looked curiously at the natal divine object of Fengshen Xiu floating in front of him.
"May I ask, Heavenly Venerable One, what is the purpose of this bead?"
..........
P.S.: Just adding this in.
