Chapter 455 Yaoyao’s Anger (2/2)

An incense stick of time passed as she stood there.

Only then did Zhou Yuan’s tightly shut eyes finally slowly crack open as a pained groan escaped from his lips.

He lay on the ground, facing the sky as waves of powerlessness pulsed through his body. The third level had been too huge of a burden on his body, resulting in a drastic loss of vital energy.

Fortunately, the Taiyi Green Mark in his body was releasing vital energy to replenish this loss.

*Cough*

While Zhou Yuan was thinking about silently lying there, a dry cough sounded. It was from old Xuan.

Zhou Yuan powerlessly croaked, “Let me rest a little longer.”

“How long do you plan on lying there?” A clear as spring water like voice sounded.

Zhou Yuan was startled as he hastily turned his head, quickly spotting the graceful as a willow figure. He immediately sat up and said, “Yaoyao?”

An awkward smile soon appeared on his face. “Why are you here?”

There was no expression on Yaoyao’s face. “If I came any later, I won’t even know when you will be tortured to death.”

In the stone pavilion, old Xuan gloomily breathed out a mouthful of smoke. Countless individuals in the Cangxuan Sect would die for his guidance, but it had become so unwanted and useless when mentioned by Yaoyao.

Zhou Yuan glanced at the depressed old Xuan and hurriedly said, “I’m fine, I can manage this training.”

Yaoyao ignored him and said, “Pack your things and follow me back.”

The sight of Yaoyao’s frosty expression caused a chill to rise inside Zhou Yuan. He obediently climbed to his feet, and nervously tidied himself the best he could.

“Kid, your recent training has been quite fruitful. Although you have yet to reach the silver bone stage, a breakthrough should be just around the corner. You should be able to achieve your goal with a little more effort.” Said old Xuan.

Zhou Yuan felt somewhat regretful. He did not expect that he would still fail to reach the silver bone stage even after so much suffering. The road of external cultivation was indeed a difficult one to walk.

Yaoyao paid no attention to them as she turned around and walked away, clearly still very discontent with old Xuan.

Zhou Yuan waved at Zhou Yuan before quickly following.

Old Xuan watched Zhou Yuan leave as he puffed out a breath of smoke and slowly said, “Kid, do your best in the chief disciple selection tomorrow… Saint Genesis Peak has been sealed for so many years, and it should be about time for it to see the light of day once more.”

Zhou Yuan’s footsteps paused as he turned his head and said, “Does elder hope that I will unseal Saint Genesis Peak?”

However, old Xuan did not reply. His old face seemed to fade and reappear within the thick smoke, making him seem quite mysterious.

Zhou Yuan did not ask again either, and turned back. However, just as he was about to step into the forest, a voice echoed.

“Don’t worry elder, the chief disciple seat of Saint Genesis Peak will definitely be mine!”

The duo gradually faded into the distance. Old Xuan’s murky eyes pierced through the smoke to watch them leave, before he lifted his head to gaze upon the misty main peak.

“It’s been so many years… it should be about time for Saint Genesis Peak to reopen, right?”
